I just put about $50K into this puppy from my KERX windfall. I liked what I heard on the conference call from December, but wasn't clear on how progression free and operative survival was looking. Some of the posts on here addressing progression free and operative survival are pretty complicated. Any of the more informed posters willing to help a Newb figure out the merit of this investment - how the drug seems to be performing compared to the treatment arm and anything else that may be useful? I haven't decided to stay put yet. Perifosine which was Kerx's cancer drug had some good tumor fighting effects I believe but flunked the key increased survival metric. Any insight on why people feel this is different? Also any insight into what Adam F seems to have bashed this Company in September on Twitter? Bashing will be ignored. Many thanks in advance.
Vanya, I see you moved over here from CLSN... What a hit!
This money was intended for a trade into CLSN last night. My money got tied up because KERX for some strange reason does not trade into my margin account. So had to wait until this morning and the fireworks started. This money should not be mine still, but it is so I decided to pick something new :)
My daughter presenting to an Invst club, here's how I summed it up for her. Long-winded, sorry. This is a high risk, high reward name. Downside to zero in theory is much % higher outcome than most stocks (somewhat true of research stage biotech in general). That said, upside potential is enormous as well. The upside is literally 100s of times the downside. That is a rare reward:risk ratio in the investing world. Even if you think the odds are 90% towards failure, 10% success, the Expected Return:Expected Risk profile is 10x+, extraordinarily good investment profile IMO. My personal belief is that the odds of success are closer to 50% here given the following pluses & minuses along with the preliminary neoadjuvant (pre-surgical shrinkage) measures released on Dec 12th, which were encouraging regarding hoped for metastatic results in the Ph3 trial. Positives: 1) Greater likelihood of Ph3 success given "control group" is well-known Carboplatin & Paclitaxil drugs that have long track records (already in generic forms), and the late stage nature of the patient population – Control Group PFS & OS should be fairly predictable, and less susceptible to placebo effect, thus less likely to provide surprisingly difficult comparison in the Ph3 study (the bane of randomized blinded studies), and greater upside upon success than other biotechs given: 2) Metastasis market is huge indication and basically unaddressed right now (no competition, I believe $20BN+ potential for this indication alone), 3) Success in one indication likely means success in several indications given the RAS pathway and kRAS angles, 4) Potential for "annuity" like revenue streams given fact patients may need to stay on reolysin, 5) Potential for pre-surgical treatments (an incremental revenue market), 6) Value to the company as the foundation of a whole new platform for big Pharma (virus biologic field, along with big IP portfolio to back Big Pharma's entry, Amgen recently purchased OncoVex as its entry into the virus field), 6) Attractive Pharma-like margin potential (70%+ Gross Margins) given low-cost formulation, 7) Attractive cumulative safety profile from all studies. Negatives: 1) The viral field is new and unknown, FDA will tread particularly slowly & carefully, 2) The company's trial sizes to date have been unusually small, 3) While trial results have been generally encouraging so far, none of results have been from a randomized blinded study, 4) The Ph3 is heavily weighted towards eastern European patient population, where pre-qualifications and predictability may be more questionable, and 5) Even without these prior negatives, odds are generally stacked against Ph3 trials (~90% failure rates), 6) It's unclear whether other biotechs/Pharmas can circumvent the IP portfolio and develop competitive drugs with similar viruses or variants of reolysin formulation. My Assumptions: 2.5MM new metastatic disease patients diagnosed globally every year. 50% go on reolysin. $18,000/year treatment = $22.5BN Revenue for primary use. No credit for other indications, neoadjuvant, recurring maintenance, etc. 70% Gross margin, 25% SG&A to sell/distribute the product. $10BN+ pretax, $6.5BN+ after taxes, 100MM shares o/s by time company reaches profitability. $65/share earnings per share. 15 multiple, discount back by 5 years required to build that business up post favorable Phase3 results at a 25% higher risk equity return requirement, $323+/share value in todays $s upon favorable results. Could easily see a $100-$200/share buyout in a year's time by big Pharma IMO upon favorable Ph3 results. Should unfavorable results occur, still potential for neoadjuvant and other primary indications, and the IP portfolio likely worth something to others pursuing viral field, but would take substantially more dilution to reach any of these endgames. Stock likely down to ~$1s. Regarding PFS & OS. We can only speculate but we have clues…They still have not unblinded the Ph 3 study which has Overall Survival (OS) as it's primary endpoint goal, and Progression Free Survival (PFS) as a secondary goal, but one which will give them a statistically significant early read on OS (and could have palliative benefit in its own right). Rather, the company took a preliminary check at 6 weeks that did not include peaks at PFS or OS, but reflect endpoints you'd measure to determine whether treatment made sense prior to surgeries (tumor size measurements looking for shrinkage or stable size, different sizing criteria - tighter limits). Recall, they've now split the Ph 3 into two groups, local regional (more primary tumor like) and metastasized. Also recall the September unblinded results showed PFS medians at over 2x as good in the metastacized group (120 days) than local regional. This recent test showed zero tumor growth at 6 weeks in the separate control groups at ~67% of patients, with a 98% correlation to each other in the 2 control groups (statistical equals), suggesting the control groups are on the same trajectory local regionally and metastasized given just the chemo. The tumor-sizing curve looked better for the Reo + chemo in the local regional group, but not significantly, suggesting activity but not statistical significance yet (but just 6 weeks into treatment). The curve looked better in the Reo + chemo for the metastasized group, with 86% of patients showing no tumor growth at 6 weeks. This was statistically significant. So, this quick read gives us two important clues to the puzzle. 1) The company looks like it's on the right track looking at metastatic cancers (with no competition), the likely focus of the next part of this Phase 3, and all of their other current randomized studies are metastatic diseases (pancreatic, lung, ovarian, prostate, I think). 2) The meaningful PFS improvement we saw in the unblinded metastatic group in September is unlikely to be due to better control group statistics (the bane of randomized trials), suggesting it is likely due to reo. In which case, the reo PFS in metastacized should be 2-3x better than control group, which would be indicative of an extremely favorable result likely to be at least doubling expected lifespan (OS). Expect an initial unblinding in the next 30 days or so, and also expect to see results in a few of the other randomized studies soon (including pancreatic which I'm particularly optimistic about). So, no true confirmations yet, but encouraging clues regarding progress.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Great analysis Vanilli. A little too late to jump in for me, the stock is already priced in and can't take the hit if things do not go according to plan. Reminds me of KERX and Perif. Are you looking at other co's at the moment? ASTX looks very nice $100+ mm cash with 5 drugs in pipeline.
Sentiment: Hold
Thank you Vanilli! Geez very helpful. Ok I'm in for the unveil. :)
Nice, comprehensive, levelheaded view. Minor comments: $200 share within a year? Even if things go swimmingly and results justify that price I doubt we'll get that high. (at least not within a year's time) IMO. All prudent DD would suggest the historical norms for PFS/OS are reasonably reliable. But two things that might result in the dreaded "control group surprise": We are measuring mets-only taxane-naive patients in our control arm where they are getting current SOC and there is only scant evidence to match that in any previous trial. And recently published studies revealed a distinct inhibition of mets in diabetic patients taking metformin. Type II diabetes is not uncommon among middleaged+ patients. And our published protocol does not list them as exclusionary. Both are unlikely wildcards (I said minor comments) but nonetheless - until we're certain the extended PFS is reo mediated - maybe worth mentioning. Again, very nice summary.
Great post, Thank You! What is your short term outlook on this one?
Wow that was quite an in depth answer and fast response time.

Everything about this park is nice. The check-in at the office was done professionally and pleasantly. The guy who directed us to our site was polite and helpful, and the facility itself is nicely kept. We stopped en route to Utah and would stay here again any time. A very nice spot. My only complaint is that the pull-through spaces are very tight with very little space between. It could have been our own space, as we got the last one available, so maybe the others are wider. There are trees planted, but not big enough to provide shade during summer months. This park caters to adults but does not prohibit children. - rfarkle
Nicely laid out park with attractive plantings and raked gravel around sites. Water pressure a little low, Wi-Fi limited to one device and was slow. Utility connections were easy. Site pads - some cement, some gravel - were somewhat sloped. Office staff service was uneven. Nice hiking trails around park. Rate reflects week-long stay. - jbrucemagon
Rate reflects Good Sam's discount. This is one of our favourite campsites and our 4th visit. It is clean, well maintained and well tended shrubs and plants. The roads are tarmac with hard standing sites. Friendly staff, shown to site on arrival and trash collection from site, these two features are becoming more rare at campsites. There is a free shuttle to the casino if required. Easy access from the I-17 but very little highway noise. We certainly recommend and as stated before we would give a perfect 10 but the poor wifi lets them down, a feature that is needed in this technological age. - Harris England

This wouldn't be a bad park if it was located somewhere else! It is right next to the freeway and incredibly noisy. (No mention of that on their website-- just very deceptive photos). It's impossible to enjoy sitting outside with the constant roar. The noise makes sleeping difficult. The WiFi is terrible -- so very, very slow. No refunds are given for any reason, even with several days notice. The owner is rude, but the park managers are pleasant. I would never stay here again. Too noisy! - IngaMari
Rate is Passport America price for one night. This was a gem of find. A small campground which is wonderfully maintained and landscaped. We had a full hookup 50 amp pull-thru site which was pretty level. Sites are a bit close together. Roads and sites are gravel. Very nice pool and hot tub and common areas. Access road was a little rough. Make sure to follow campground instructions to get here. GPS might take you the wrong way. Not far off of I-17. Free WiFi which was adequate, but rather slow other than early in the morning. We would definitely stay here again. - krb
Price reflects PA discount. Road from I-17 to the campground is a little convoluted. We had to call and wait to check in. WiFi was slow and Verizon signal was weak. Campground itself was nice as were the people. Really good price for an overnight. We would stay again in a pinch. - BigRigTravelerUSA

We enjoyed our stay at this quiet, beautiful RV Park. Owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. The park is clean and well maintained. Sites are level with a nice concrete pad and grass area. We enjoyed walking around the park and surrounding area with our dogs. We will come here again for sure! - hilarlee
Very clean and nice park with helpful owner. Seems to stay full most of time so make reservation if possible. We had a very long pull-through gravel site that required only slight leveling. No cable TV. Good Wi-Fi (we have external antenna). Utilities worked fine. Follow directions from website and be aware that there is no sign at the Hwy 260 exit. - threehendersons
We chose this park in Camp Verde because it was away from the I-17 freeway and the road noise. Directions in the campground guide made it easy to find. The check-in was quick. The owners are very helpful with questions about the area. The spaces are very level with grass around the gravel pads. The laundry is clean, although we didn't use it. Price was reasonable at $1.25 or $1.50. Nightly rate was with Good Sam discount and after taxes added. We would stay here again. - MikeandDixie

A great inexpensive place to park a rig to visit all the fabulous scenery within an hours drive, i.e., the red rocks, Sedona, Jerome, the Verde Valley RR, etc. Great people, clean facility, right off the Interstate. Reservations made for next year, too much to see in the area to get it all this year. Good luck to the friendly staff, they've earned it. - george447
A small park along the main road into town, close to grocery store and PO. Came here for the convenient location and cable TV (many channels, but not sharp). Weekly price was good, $167 w/ cable but daily price is too high: $30 + $2 cable. Only 2 unisex bathrooms, large but not cleaned the past 4 days. Only has 2 washer/dryers. Entire surface of park is rock, which your dog will hate. At least half the place consists of residents; very few travelers came in. Much nicer parks available in the area. - Annie's Song
The manager was friendly and helpful at check-in. Roads and sites are gravel and mostly level. Some sites have the sewer connection near the front requiring a long hose. The park is convenient to downtown Camp Verde with easy access to and from I-17. We stayed here for a week for $160. There are no discount plans, but taxes are included in the rates. There is a propane fill station, a dump station and laundry. - Ned

Nice older park. Quiet, clean and basic. No amenities or frills, just a great, quiet restful place. - work2fish
Rate is Resorts of Distinction. Level sites. Dusty dirt roads. Very few 50 amp sites and they are taken as soon as available so plan on getting 30 amp. Verizon signal and throughput is better than it used to be. Host was friendly and helpful when we checked in after office closed. Bathrooms and laundry were clean and worked fine. Park is nothing special but we had no problems. - cwier
We had a very poor experience with someone in the office who I presume was the manager. She told us that we had underpaid by several dollars during the first force days visit at the park but we needed to pay more for the last three when I declined because I realize that she was ignorant of the pricing structure that she had agreed to with Coast To Coast memberships we opted to check out and find other accommodations for the next three nights. If you get the right person in the office you can have a good time at the park it is level, secluded, and spacious. However if you get the wrong person in the office be prepared to either overpay by three times or prove to the office staff that your price is the one they should charge. Because people to people trumps people to campsite I cannot give this campsite any more than two buttons had this person not been ignorant rude and inconsiderate I would give this campground eight buttons. - Wanders

Second time and will stay again. $38 reflects weekly rate. About 10 miles from freeway which is a plus for us. Extremely easy in and out with our 57' total length. You really feel like you are camping. Very close Sedona, Cottonwood, Prescott. You won't find nicer folks to enhance your stay. - Full Timers 2
Very nice older park near the river. The place is spotless!! Each site is raked, one direction, before you arrive. Great, very large shade trees for the afternoon sun. You are taken and helped guided into your site by the manager. Nice public area for gatherings. Some sites are a little close. - 45parkcity
Good location. Check-in was easy. Really appreciated the management escort via golf cart showing us to our site and helping us get RV. The spaces are nice, wide & plenty of room to set up our outdoor accoutrements. Wi-Fi was a little spotty, but management seemed to be aware, and was attentive to the issue and re-setting as necessary. Camp store across the road and walkable distance from the park. Location is good for day adventures in the area. We thought it a "Go-Back Place". - AsleepontheBeach

I highly recommend Hands on Massage. Lori S. Algonquin, IL
Hands On Massage & Bodywork, Inc.
Massage and Holistic Health for Women
Massage Therapy is one of the oldest, most simple forms of therapy. It is a combination of stroking, pressing, and kneading different regions of the body in order to alleviate pain, relax, stimulate and tone the body. It helps to stimulate blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system by improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.
As a regular part of your nutrition and wellness program, it's important for all women, men, and even teenagers to make time for their bodies. How you take care of your body, mind & soul, is how you will feel everyday of your life.
The therapies I offer are:
Swedish Massage: One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
Prenatal Massage: A combination of massage techniques adapted to the specific needs of pregnant mothers. Special positioning and cushions are used for optimum comfort.
Pregnancy massage is a wonderful complement to your prenatal and postnatal wellness. The sensory experience brings greater awareness to your body and your baby, enhancing your pregnancy and birth experience. Pregnancy massage reduces stress; promotes relaxation; relieves muscle pain in the hips, back, neck, and legs; helps reduce edema; and improves labor outcomes. Beyond birth, postpartum massage helps restore the abdomen and weight bearing muscles and joints.
Postpartum Massage: Massage in the postpartum period helps bring the body into its pre-pregnancy alignment. A massage within the first week of postpartum feels wonderful. It flushes lactic acid out of the tissues, relieving sore and achy muscles.
Infant & Newborn Massage Instruction: Aids in bonding process between parent and child; increases communication skills through touch; alleviates digestive discomfort (colic); supports the growth of nerve pathways; enhances sleep.
Fertility Massage: Fertility massage may help increase fertility and reproductive health by putting the reproductive organs into proper alignment as well as increase blood flow. It's a form of massage that works directly with the abdomen of women and often times called Mayan abdominal massage, and therapists who work with this particular massage technique also claim that it helps to break up adhesions from endometriosis.
Sports Massage: Sports massage focuses on muscles relevant to the event. For athletes who train continuously, the goal is to enhance endurance, lessen the chance of injury and shorten the time needed to recover from an event.Sports Massage may utilize a variety of techniques such as classical Swedish Massage, trigger point therapy, and hydrotherapy. Prior to an athletic event, Sports Massage may be used with stretching in order to help athletes to loosen, warm and prepare their muscles so that their performance and endurance might be enhanced. Following an athletic event, Sports Massage may be used to relieve pain, prevent stiffness, and return the muscles back to their normal state. Sports Massage may also be used for injury rehabilitation.
Hot Stone Massage: Hot Stone Massage is a style of massage therapy in which water-treated stones are placed at specific sites on the client's body to promote relaxation and to help open up the merdians or pain pathways. Muscles are pretreated with the heated stones to allow the therapist to more easily perform deep tissue manipulations. Cool stones are sometimes used alternately with hot stones.
Weight Management & Nutritional Counseling: Includes food planning and preparation, food combining, storage and nutritional supplements. The goal is to support you in lifestyle changes, I will assess and recommend according to an individuals personal needs.

Rather than allowing members to fend for themselves on machines like average gym staffers, the trainers at Powerfit Personal Training take more of a hands-on approach to gym workouts, helming group Personal Interval Training sessions replete with workout stations that blend strength, performance, and conditioning exercises. During sessions, trainers dole out encouragement and ensure proper form as members toss medicine balls, lift weights, and paddle on the rowing machine.
The trainers also custom-design workout programs during one-on-one personal fitness-training sessions, which are designed to help trainees break through barriers and achieve specific goals, such as losing weight, gaining muscle, or completing the Boston Marathon in a single lateral jump.

Scottish football fans more patriotic than English
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Scots are more likely than the English to see supporting their national football team as a patriotic duty, according to a recently published study by Lancaster Psychologist Dr Jackie Abell.
The study set out to understand the differences between how the Scottish and the English demonstrate their nationalism via support for the national football team.
Participants were selected from two sites in England and Scotland based on their conflicting character; Glasgow and rural Perthshire in Scotland; Greater Manchester and rural East Sussex in England.
Interviews were conducted with those born and currently resident in England (100) and Scotland (60). All participants were white aged between 16-89 and from a variety of backgrounds.
The results showed that nearly twice as many Scottish born participants considered supporting the national team as part of national identity than those born in England.
Jackie explained: 'For Scots supporting the national football team is seen as an expression of national pride. So they see support for the England football team in the same terms, expressing English patriotism. Combine this with the negative stereotype of xenophobic and hooliganEngland supporters and you can see why this can increase Scottish support for their team and anti-English sentiments.
But support for England is misunderstood. Public displays of England flags and paraphernalia often reflect support only for the England football team at the time of an international tournament.'

This time though, it's a little extreme as its producing twice as much cuz I think I'm favoring that side since I know it produces more and baby isn't nursing well.

This is my 4th baby and my right boob has always produced way more milk for whatever reason. I even tried always feeding the baby from the left side first from the beginning to see if that helped, and it didn't. My right boob is double the size of my left boob while breastfeeding, which is embarrassing if I don't have the right bra on to help conceal the unevenness. Thank goodness my boobs always even out once I am done breastfeeding.
I love being a mom. I have 3 handsome, sweet, amazing boys and now a beautiful princess. Life is good!

Quick computation of two-dimensional histogram of bivariate data
| Watch this File
function histmat = hist2(x, y, xedges, yedges) Extract 2D histogram data containing the number of events of [x , y] pairs that fall in each bin of the grid defined by xedges and yedges. The edges are vectors with monotonically non-decreasing values.
The code is optimized no loop inside, it can be useful in the case of large dataset. EXAMPLE events = 1000000; x1 = sqrt(0.05)*randn(events,1)-0.5; x2 = sqrt(0.05)*randn(events,1)+0.5; y1 = sqrt(0.05)*randn(events,1)+0.5; y2 = sqrt(0.05)*randn(events,1)-0.5; x= [x1;x2]; y = [y1;y2]; For linearly spaced edges: xedges = linspace(-1,1,64); yedges = linspace(-1,1,64); histmat = hist2(x, y, xedges, yedges); figure; pcolor(xedges,yedges,histmat'); colorbar ; axis square tight; For nonlinearly spaced edges: xedges_ = logspace(0,log10(3),64)-2; yedges_ = linspace(-1,1,64); histmat_ = hist2(x, y, xedges_, yedges_); figure; pcolor(xedges_,yedges_,histmat_'); colorbar ; axis square tight;
This file inspired Hist2 For The People and Histograms For Nd Data.
Doesn't work. When I put in data with a constant value and plot it against something else, it spits out garbage (a diagonal pattern with no sense)
Regarding John Baldauf's comment: It's easy to recreate the problem using the first example in the hist2 code. Take e.g.
xedges = linspace(-1,1,64); yedges = linspace(-1,1,64);
and compare with the output of
xedges = linspace(-1,1,62); yedges = linspace(-1,1,64);
xedges = linspace(-1,1,64); yedges = linspace(-1,1,62);
Comment to John Baldauf: Hi John. Could you point me to your concrete problem, please? If you had data or other doc describing your problem, you can send it directly to my email address: email@example.com
I'm curious how to get this function to work for me. If I set it up with more yedges than xedges it works great. If I do the opposite it spits out patterns of garbage, sometimes with diagonal stripes or random spots. I'm a very much part-time user and not a hard core guy. Reading thru histc in matlab help and using it left me completely stumped as to what it outputs for what it calls xbins. Any help correcting this is greatly appreciated.
Hi. How can I get the actual data points instead of its index. I actually want to add the magnitudes of the data that fall in each bin. Thank you
Comment to John: You should not transpose the histmat matrix: The pcolor(xedges,yedges,histmat) will work.
I'm having trouble with this routine. In the example below, the x and y ranges dont' seem to be correct, and also the distribution doesn't look right either.
function hist3_test close all; clc; events = 1000000; xrange=0:.1:1; nxs=length(xrange); x=[]; y=[]; for xx=0:.1:1 xs=xx+sqrt(0.005)*randn(round(events/nxs),1); if (xx<.3) ys=cos(xs)+ sqrt(0.001)*randn(round(events/nxs),1); else ys=cos(xs)+ sqrt(0.1)*randn(round(events/nxs),1); end x = [x; xs]; y = [y; ys]; end
% For linearly spaced edges: figure; subplot(2,1,1); plot(x,y,'.'); xedges = linspace(-1,1,64); yedges = linspace(-1,1,64); histmat = hist2(x, y, xedges, yedges); subplot(2,1,2); % pcolor(xedges,yedges,histmat'); colorbar ; axis square tight ;
izero = histmat==0; histmat(izero) = nan; h=pcolor(xedges,yedges,histmat'); colorbar ; axis square tight ; set(h,'edgecolor','none'); end
A surface can be created using
Matlab's hist3 calculates 2Dhistograms.
Pretty useful. There's a slight bug though with how the final histmat is created. 1. It is transposed when xnbin >= ynbin. 2. It is incorrectly indexed when ynbin > xnbin (because there is a difference in the index being row major and column major)
This code works fine for me I like the way "histc" is use. Ingenious!
The out of range values should be dumped into a bin other than the bin that contains zeros.
The code might be rewritten as follow: . . .
[xn, xbin] = histc(x,xedges); [yn, ybin] = histc(y,yedges);
clear xn yn;
%xbin, ybin zero for out of range values % (see the help of histc) force this event to % inf xbin(find(xbin == 0)) = inf; % -> [changed] ybin(find(ybin == 0)) = inf; % -> [changed]
xnbin = length(xedges); ynbin = length(yedges);
if xnbin >= ynbin xy = ybin*(xnbin) + xbin; indexshift = xnbin; else xy = xbin*(ynbin) + ybin; indexshift = ynbin; end
xyuni = unique(xy); xyuni(end) = []; % -> [added] hstres = histc(xy,xyuni); clear xy;
histmat = zeros(ynbin,xnbin); % -> [changed] histmat(xyuni-indexshift) = hstres;
The 'end-spiel'(main number processing, after dealing with zero bin indexes) part is overcomplicated and can be replaced by an one liner. Hardly as fast as claimed. Please see the updated entry.
The fix to the 'out of range values' is not good as it confounds the two tails of the distribution. Fixed it in my copy.
It's odd in itself that Matlab or stats don't seem to provide this function. Laszlo has made good use of histc toward an even more useful purpose.
Fixing the error due to the out of range values
I fixed the bugs reported previously.

Oral Communication Skills
Communication skills don't stop at writing, Bier said. Employers are looking for candidates who can verbalize their ideas effectively. "If you're architecting using a data center environment ... you can't just rely on the guy at Cisco to create the scope and pass it along. The scope of work is very important. In some cases, the person who's actually writing the scope of work is not the same person who's going to read that and deliver and implement that solution. So, there is some standard way of communicating the environment that you architect," he said. For example, Bier said, let's say you're a solution architect who proposes an idea to the CIO, who gives the green light to move forward on the project. "You have to be able to fully communicate that to the entire solution service delivery team in an effective manner, or they're going to implement and deliver a solution that isn't exactly what the IT principal on the other end was looking for."
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

But one she has lupus which means she has a bad immune system so I nervous she will be sick and she also lives with SO many animals. Tons of cats and stuff. And I dont want to be mean to her but I dont really want her holding my newborn. Am I wrong? Please I need thoughts I dont like being rude but I dont want my little girl sick.
Am I wrong?

Absolutely, you should do what's best for your daughter. I'm telling everyone who isn't immediate family that I will throw a meet and greet type party when I'm ready to introduce this LO to the family. Those most important are allowed to visit but everyone else needs to stay away!! I know that my LO will be exposed to a lot as her big brother is in kindergarten, but I don't need my entire family bringing their kids with their germs overloading her when she's just a newborn.

Chinese inventor Tao Xiangli manufactured a robot in the yard of his house in Beijing. He spent almost a year and about 150,000 Yuan, corresponding to $24,500 dollars, to build the robot. His "newborn" is 6.8 feet tall and around 529 pounds in weight. It is made out of recycled scrap metals and electric wires bought from a second-hand market. The question is: what is he going to do with it?

Buckle up for another cinematic espresso shot from our favorite performance philosopher Jason Silva, who recently also appeared on the wonderful London Real.
If you care for a longer version of the 'We are already Cyborg' argument check out Amber Chase.
There are robots that look like people, and then there are robots, like the Ecobot III, that look nothing like humans but have our same biological needs: they have to eat, digest and excrete. The EcoBot III is a product of the partnership between scientists at Wessex Water and the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. This robot works in a sewage treatment system and feeds off sewage, with an artificial stomach made up of fuel cells that run on human waste.
Though not yet as functional as biological proteins, these artificial proteins created by physicists at the University of Vienna are the first versatile and modular examples of a fully artificial protein. Their method involves the self-assembly of simple particles into polymer chains. By controlling the interaction between the beginning and end of the polymer chain they are able to "lock" the folded end result.
Proteins are the molecular machines that form the building blocks of all living organisms, and underlie complex bio-molecular processes within our bodies. From muscle contraction to DNA replication, proteins are involved in uncountable biological activities. This research presents a foundation on which novel applications can be built, from material sciences to new forms of drug delivery. One day, these bionic proteins might very well be integrated into our own biology.

Normally, when we select for characteristics in fruits and vegetables, it's to bring them closer to some modernist ideal: corn that's sweeter, lettuce that's crisper, cucumbers that are perfectly green and straight. However, a new strain of tomato out of the UK may soon topple the spherical red fruit from its iconic position. These purple GM tomatoes owe their unusual hue to a dark purple-blue pigment called anthocynanin. Not only does this antioxidant double the shelf life of tomatoes in the supermarkt, it also extends the lives of mice that are genetically predisposed to cancer. A tomato that cuts down on food waste and the incidence of cancer? Even if pasta and pizza will never look the same, maybe it's time to pass the purple.

Right now, one of the reasons that robots and other artificially intelligent devices cannot qualify as living beings is their inability to self-repair. However, a recent breakthrough from the Caltech High-Speed Integrated Circuits laboratory have brought us one step closer to the reality of machines that can cure themselves after being damaged.
We use antibiotics for medical treatment, but the presence of antibiotics in drinking water is harmful to us and to our environment. Currently, activated carbon is used to filter out harmful antibiotics, but the effect is not perfect. A team at the University of Cincinnati has now developed and tested a new filter made of two bacterial proteins which can remove almost twice as much antibiotics as activated carbon, using only water and direct sunlight.
Compared with activated carbon filters, the bacterial protein system offers several improvements. Firstly, the new protein filter can selectively absorb antibiotics. It employs a protein pump called AcrB, a selective "garbage disposal" for the bacteria that cannot get clogged with organic matter. Secondly, direct sunlight powers the bacterial protein system. A light-driven bacterial protein called Delta-rhodopsin supplies power for the AcrB. Moreover, these bacteria can even be used to extract antibiotics for recycling, and may even eventually be used to filter our heavy metals and hormones.

Typically the impact of humanity on plant life is not always positive: Deforestation, decrease of diversity, soil pollution. Doom and gloom are all around. Hence, our delight to learn there are also people dedicating their time and energy to the expansion of plant life. Surely if they do it in such remarkable ways.
Astrobiologist Dr. Louisa Preston and Designer Vanessa Harden propose to build a garden on Mars. Thats not easy. One would need a gardening robot, fitted plant species and some kind of dome structure for the plants to grow in. These two young women now started a kickstarter campaign to realize their project.
Arguably, we owe it to our fellow carbon bases plant species, to employ our space rockets to their benefit, helping them to inhabit new worlds. Additionally, the astro plants may also provide human space travelers in their nutritious needs.
Go to the kickstarter campaign.
Somewhere between a vat of expensive face cream and a baby Neanderthal lies a probable future for synthetic biology. While synbio start-ups – large and small – struggle with the reality of scaling up microscopic cellular factories into profitable business models, stories of DIY anti-cancer research, Neanderthal cloning, limitless 'green' kerosene, and tumor-killing bacteria are told as outcomes of a likely future where humans have full control over biology.
Over the last decade, many diverse interests have contributed to this ambition of an easy-to-manipulate biology, as the field of synthetic biology has spread around research labs all over the world. Scientists, engineers, policymakers, industrialists, space agencies, politicians, and even designers are constructing a future defined by the grand rhetoric of a world-changing, world-saving technology.
For more than eight years artist Koert van Mensvoort has been working on a project to redefine our concept of nature. Through his platform Next Nature he has published books, held talks, ran workshops, maintained an active blog, and even developed a hoax, all in effort to communicate that there is no absolute nature, but that technology and nature are deeply intertwined; a biosynthetic nature so to speak. Can the development of a Gillette razor be considered in Darwinian terms of evolution? Is the fake nature of an indoor ski slope any less legitimate than the Alps? By fundamentally shifting the way we conceive nature, he believes we will be better able to cope with the oncoming climatic and environmental challenges ahead.
This interview is reprinted from Volume magazine #35: Everything Under Control.
Four years ago we wrote about a vision to create bioluminescent trees that would replace streetlights. This dream is getting just a little bit closer, now that a team of Stanford trained synthetic biologists led by Antony Evans launched a Kickstarter campaign to grow glowing plants.
Using Genome Compiler software, the team is ready to input bio-luminescence genes into a mustard plant and have it be naturally glowing. Natural lighting with no electricity. Hypernature ahoy!
With four types of different building blocks – soft and hard tissues and two types of muscles – scientistic simulated evolution, with the one rule for success that the fastest robots create more offspring. Do you remember when you first got out of the ocean, brushed the water off your fins and tried your first steps? Aww. It's a parade of puffing creatures you can not miss.

Did an algorithm write this blog post? If it did, you'd likely never know it. Chicago-based Narrative Science is producing smart software that writes stories for parents of Little Leaguers all the way on up to media giants like Forbes. You might expect stilted, formulaic prose from a robot, but the result is surprisingly lively:
"Friona fell 10-8 to Boys Ranch in five innings on Monday at Friona despite racking up seven hits and eight runs. Friona was led by a flawless day at the dish by Hunter Sundre, who went 2-2 against Boys Ranch pitching. Sundre singled in the third inning and tripled in the fourth inning … Friona piled up the steals, swiping eight bags in all …"
Kristian Hammond, cofounder of Narrative Science, predicts that in 15 years, 90% of all news will be auto-generated in this manner. The company's software may someday be programmed to spit out snark, wry commentary, or philosophical reflections on the effable beauty of a spring day. As Big Data mines every minute aspect of our lives, the time is ripe for a writer – human or otherwise – to transform these reams of data into stories.

Who would have thought synthetic organisms would ever be employed to save endangered species? Conservation biologist worried about the extinction of exotic frog populations are calling the help of synthetic biologists to avoid disaster.
Currently, a fungus epidemics with the eerie name batrachochytrium dendrobatidis threatens more than 2,800 amphibian species. The depicted Panamanian golden frog has already been pushed close to extinction by fungal disease, but conservationists believe the tragedy could be countered by a new generation of synthetically manipulated organisms.
"We face the prospect of losing a great deal from the natural world and we have to think of solutions that could be generated by all sorts of different techniques, including those involved in synthetic biology." conservation biologist Kent Redford told the Guardian.
Psychiatrist Jeffrey P. Kahn believes that beer, far from being an agent of late-night chaos and early morning regrets, is what gave our ancestors modern civilization. Beer, he writes, triggered the leap from rule-bound hunter-gather groups into the creative, complex societies we've been enjoying for the last 10,000 years. Is there some truth in this statement, or is it no more solid than a foamy head of ale?
Arguably the most accessible synthetic biology explanation video we have seen so far. From selective breeding to genetic modification, as our understanding of biology is merging with the principles of engineering into a new discipline called synthetic biology.
