... Trasylol was recently found in an independent study to be associated with increased risk of kidney failure, higher stroke risk and encephalopathy, a degenerative disease of the brain, in cardiac surgery.

Bayer has said the US Food and Drug Administration is currently evaluating this study.

HealthCare achieved an underlying EBITDA margin of 18.9 pct, also surpassing its 2006 target of 'exceeding' 17 pct.

In the year as a whole, Bayer's third unit, CropScience, saw a decline in sales of insecticides and fungicides, held back by long droughts in Brazil, southern Europe and Australia.

Nonetheless, it said EBIT before special items in this business unit rose 31 pct in the year, mainly because of the absence of goodwill amortization.

'Against the background of adverse market development, especially in Brazil, Bayer CropScience will not yet be able to achieve its target underlying EBITDA margin of 25 pct for 2006,' chief executive Werner Wenning said.

On the hardwood, upsets, excess, and the mouth that roared

...It is the story of an exceptionally self-indulgent, megalomaniacal bully of a coach whose college basketball teams have won more than almost anybody else's.

The bulk of Knight's career transpired at Indiana University.

There he presided over teams that frequently made the NCAA tournament and occasionally won national championships.

While he was there, Knight insulted his players in the most vile terms, screamed four-letter words at teenagers on the opposing teams, threw chairs around the locker room and court, and, having earned (?

) the opportunity to coach on the international stage, characterized his Puerto Rican hosts at a tournament by telling US reporters, ''The only [expletive] thing they know how to do is grow bananas."Knight's excesses are well known among people who follow college basketball, although numbers of those people regard humiliating, throttling, and kicking players as well as demeaning women (''There's two things you people are good for, making kids and frying bacon") as character traits rather than excesses.
