re BSX, yes i did notice the increased topline growth. It is due to the Guidant revenues that are now included in BSX topline:

Net sales for the third quarter of 2006 were $2.026 billion as compared to $1.511 billion for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 34 percent. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of $491 million of net sales from the Company's cardiac rhythm management (CRM) and cardiac surgery businesses.

BSX has issued more than 600M shares to takeover Guidant and in addition incurred substantial debt. Revenues/share are way down YoY.
