Analysis: Mark Easterbrook tells me there are no new ideas in advertising. He should know: he was the copywriter who came up with the award-winning slogan "We're in it for you" – 10 years ago, for Genesis Energy.  The chances are high of brainstorming a positioning line, then finding a previous wordsmith has already coined it.

Metastasis is the leading cause of death in cancer, occurring when a cell leaves the primary tumour, passes into the bloodstream and lymphatic system and reaches distant organs. Non-invasive collection of these circulating tumour cells is essential for the study of cell biology, the diagnosis and prognosis in cancer research, and drug development. As a general rule, the concentration of cancer cells found in blood is very small with respect to other cell types, and traditional methods of collecting them in a viable way are laborious.

Japan's health ministry said Monday it will allow the sale of emergency contraceptives without prescription on a trial basis from this summer, a major step toward joining dozens of other countries that already allow over-the-counter sales of such drugs at pharmacies. A ministry panel approved the sale of so-called morning-after pills through March at pharmacies that have trained pharmacists, private rooms and can be available on weekends, nights and holidays. They must also be able to coordinate with nearby obstetrics and gynecology clinics.
