There is no doubt that Big Data holds infinite promise for a range of industries. Better visibility into data across various sources enables everything from insight into saving electricity to agricultural yield to placement of ads on Google. But when it comes to deriving value from data, no industry has been doing it as long or with as much rigor as clinical researchers.
Unlike other markets that are delving into Big Data for the first time and don't know where to begin, drug and device developers have spent years refining complex processes for asking very specific questions with clear purposes and goals. Whether using data for designing an effective and safe treatment for cholesterol, or collecting and mining data to understand proper dosage of cancer drugs, life sciences has had to dot every "i" and cross every "t" in order to keep people safe and for new therapies to pass muster with the FDA. Other industries are now marveling at a new ability to uncover information about efficiencies and cost savings, but - with less than rigorous processes in place - they are often shooting in the dark or only scratching the surface of what Big Data offers.
Drug developers today are standing on the shoulders of those who created, tested and secured FDA approval for treatments involving millions of data points (for one drug alone!) without the luxury of the cloud or sophisticated analytics systems. These systems have the potential to make the best data-driven industry even better. This article will outline key lessons and real-world examples of what other industries can and should learn from life sciences when it comes to understanding how to work with Big Data.
What Questions to Ask, What Data to Collect
In order to gain valuable insights from Big Data, there are two absolute requirements that must be met - understanding both what questions to ask and what data to collect. These two components are symbiotic, and understanding both fully is difficult, requiring both domain expertise and practical experience.
In order to know what data to collect, you first must know the types of questions that you're going to want to ask - often an enigma. With the appropriate planning and experience-based guesses, you can often make educated assumptions. The trick to collecting data is that you need to collect enough to answer questions, but if you collect too much then you may not be able to distill the specific subset that will answer your questions. Also, explicit or inherent cost can prevent you from collecting all possible data, in which case you need to carefully select which areas to collect data about.
Let's take a look at how this is done in clinical trials. Say you're designing a clinical study that will analyze cancer data. You may not have specific questions when the study is being designed, but it's reasonable to assume that you'll want to collect data related to commonly impacted readings for the type of cancer and whatever body system is affected, so that you have the right information to analyze when it comes time.
You may also want to collect data unrelated to the specific disease that subsequent questions will likely require, such as information on demographics and medications that the patient is taking that are different from the treatment. During the post-study data analysis, questions on these areas often arise, even though the questions aren't initially apparent. Thus clinical researchers have adopted common processes for collecting data on demographics and concomitant medications. Through planning and experience, you can also identify areas that do not need to be collected for each study. For example, if you're studying lung cancer, collecting cognitive function data is probably unrelated.
How can other industries anticipate what questions to ask, as is done in life sciences? Well, determine a predefined set of questions that are directly related to the goal of the data analysis. Since you will not know all of the questions until after the data collection have started, it's important to 1) know the domain, and 2) collect any data you'll need to answer the likely questions that could come up.
Also, clinical researchers have learned that questions can be discovered automatically. There are data mining techniques that can uncover statistically significant connections, which in effect are raising questions that can be explored in more detail afterwards. An analysis can be planned before data is collected, but not actually be run until afterwards (or potentially during), if the appropriate data is collected.
One other area that has proven to be extremely important to collect is metadata, or data about the data - such as, when it was collected, where it was collected, what instrumentation was used in the process and what calibration information was available. All of this information can be utilized later on to answer a lot of potentially important questions. Maybe there was a specific instrument that was incorrectly configured and all the resulting data that it recorded is invalid. If you're running an ad network, maybe there's a specific web site where your ads are run that are gaming the system trying to get you to pay more. If you're running a minor league team, maybe there's a specific referee that's biased, which you can address for subsequent games. Or, if you're plotting oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico, maybe there are certain exploratory vessels that are taking advantage of you. In all of these cases, without the appropriate metadata, it'd be impossible to know where real problems reside.
Identifying Touch Points to Be Reviewed Along the Way
There are ways to specify which types of analysis can be performed, even while data is being collected, that can affect either how data will continue to be collected or the outcome as a whole.
For example, some clinical studies run what's called interim analysis while the study is in progress. These interim analyses are planned, and the various courses that can be used afterwards are well defined, but the results afterward are statistically usable. This is called an adaptive clinical trial, and there are a lot of studies that are being performed to determine more effective and useful ways that these can be done in the future. The most important aspect of these is preventing biases, and this is something that has been well understood and tested by the pharmaceutical community over the past several decades. Simply understanding what's happening during the course of a trial, or how it affects the desired outcome, can actually bias the results.
The other key factor is that the touch points are accessible to everybody who needs the data. For example, if you have a person in the field, then it's important to have him or her access the data in a format that's easily consumable to them - maybe through an iPad or an existing intranet portal. Similarly, if you have an executive that needs to understand something at a high level, then getting it to them in an easily consumable executive dashboard is extremely important.
As the life sciences industry has learned, if the distribution channels of the analytics aren't seamless and frictionless, then they won't be utilized to their fullest extent. This is where cloud-based analytics become exceptionally powerful - the cloud makes it much easier to integrate analytics into every user's day. Once each user gets the exact information they need, effortlessly, they can then do their job better and the entire organization will work better - regardless of how and why the tools are being used.
Augmenting Human Intuition
Think about the different types of tools that people use on a daily basis. People use wrenches to help turn screws, cars to get to places faster and word processers to write. Sure, we can use our hands or walk, but we're much more efficient and better when we can use tools.
Cloud-based analytics is a tool that enables everybody in an organization to perform more efficiently and effectively. The first example of this type of augmentation in the life sciences industry is alerting. A user tells the computer what they want to see, and then the computer alerts them via email or text message when the situation arises. Users can set rules for the data it wants to see, and then the tools keep on the lookout to notify the user when the data they are looking for becomes available.
Another area the pharmaceutical industry has thoroughly explored is data-driven collaboration techniques. In the clinical trial process, there are many different groups of users: those who are physically collecting the data (investigators), others who are reviewing it to make sure that it's clean (data managers), and also people who are stuck in the middle (clinical monitors). Of course there are many other types of users, but this is just a subset to illustrate the point. These different groups of users all serve a particular purpose relating to the overall collection of data and success of the study. When the data looks problematic or unclean, the data managers will flag it for review, which the clinical monitors can act on.
What's unique about the way that life sciences deals with this is that they've set up complex systems and rules to make sure that the whole system runs well. The tools associated around these processes help augment human intuition through alerting, automated dissemination and automatic feedback. The questions aren't necessarily known at the beginning of a trial, but as the data is collected, new questions evolve and the tools and processes in place are built to handle the changing landscape.
No matter what the purpose of Big Data analytics, any organization can benefit from the mindset of cloud-based analytics as a tool that needs to consistently be adjusted and refined to meet the needs of users.
Ongoing Challenges of Big Data Analytics
Given this history with data, one would expect that drug and device developers would be light years ahead when it comes to leveraging Big Data technologies - especially given that the collection and analytics of clinical data is often a matter of life and death. But while they have much more experience with data, the truth is that life sciences organizations are just now starting to integrate analytics technologies that will enable them to work with that data in new, more efficient ways - no longer involving billions of dollars a year, countless statisticians, archaic methods, and, if we're being honest, brute force. As new technology becomes available, the industry will continue to become more and more seamless. In the meantime, other industries looking to wrap their heads around the Big Data challenge should look to life sciences as the starting point for best practices in understanding how and when to ask the right questions, monitoring data along the way and selecting tools that improve the user experience.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Port Freeport receives positive Chief's report on Freeport Harbor Channel Improvement Project
After eleven years of working with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on a Freeport Harbor Channel Improvement Project (FHCIP), Port Freeport received a positive report from the Chief of Engineers to deepen and widen the Freeport channel. The report will be transmitted to Congress and recommends the project because it will contribute to the economic efficiency of commercial navigation in the region. "This channel will help encourage additional investment in southern Brazoria County, help us attract even larger vessels to this area, retaining and creating more jobs and opportunity for local communities," said Port Freeport Executive Port Director/CEO Glenn Carlson. "This positive Chief's report will now open the door to federal funding for the project. Now it is up to Congress to allocate the funds."From environmental to economic, the FHCIP offers numerous advantages. At its current depth of 45 feet, the Port and local industry's operational partnerships raised the economic impact of the Ports current channel from $10.2 billion per year to $17.9 billion within a three year period. The new channel could do more by attracting even larger ships and this additional vessel capacity is reflected in the USACE's estimates which place the returns on the channel investment at almost two to one. The channel will also offer many benefits to Port Freeport, including improved navigation and safety.
"The new deeper, wider channel is just a few years away. Once completed, it will offer a safer, faster transit to ships with even larger payloads – saving both time and money," Port Commission Chairman Bill Terry said. "The economic impact and long term benefits of this project to regional liner shipping companies, along with our local chemical and energy partners can't be overstated."
Port Freeport's next step will be to begin the estimated three year preliminary engineering process with the USACE and seek federal funding to deepen the Freeport Harbor Channel to a depth of 55 feet from its current 45 feet.

- Simply 'not good enough'. The slide needs to be arrested or else we are in for a repeat of 2005/06
- Phelan or no Phelan, City still offering more questions than answers as two, big points slide away
- Why Phelan? For starters he has dealt with more parked buses than Butler and Blakey put together
- Mike Phelan it is. An ex-Canary with plenty of gongs and coaching experience. So, what's not to like?

Slowly but surely, all of the major iPhone gaming hits are finding their way to Windows Phone. It's important that Microsoft's young platform has the games that people like and want to play. The latest game to make the jump to Xbox Live is Doodle Jump, originally developed by Lima Sky. The Windows Phone version was ported by Mr. Goodliving (who were shut down by owner RealNetworks prior to the game's actual release) and Game-Lion Studios. Doodle Jump has been a huge success on other platforms due to its unique, appealing art style, precise accelerometer-based controls, and easy-to-learn, hard-to-master game play.
Is Doodle Jump just as much of a standout on Windows Phone? Step, no, jump past the break to find out.

Originally written on Reds Minor Leagues | Last updated 10/30/14
Today wraps up the final position in the State of the Farm series for 2012. The Reds currently have six starting pitchers at the Major League level for five spots. In the minor leagues there is also a good amount of depth. Coming into the season the Reds didn't have a premiere pitching prospect to their name, but rather several quality pitching prospects. That all changed in 2012 when Robert Stephenson began pitching in Billings and then eventually in Dayton and flashed out pure dominance at times, touching 101 MPH in one game with two other strong pitches. He established himself as one of the minor leagues premiere arms and the Reds top pitching prospect. Stephenson still has a ways to go and needs to improve aspects of his game, but in terms of a pure arm, very few players can match him in all of baseball. There is a little bit of a gap to the next grouping of guys. Daniel Corcino is next in line. He doesn't have quite the upside as Stephenson, but he is closer to contributing in ...

Nathan Hochman is the chair of Bingham's White Collar Investigations and Enforcement Group. He practices complex civil and criminal litigation, with a focus on white collar criminal defense and tax controversy matters. He represents individuals and organizations involved as targets, subjects, or witnesses in state and federal criminal investigations, internal investigations, and related grand jury and pre-trial proceedings, trials, and appeals. He also represents clients in state and federal tax controversy, tax litigation, arbitrations and complex civil matters.Over the past five years, Nathan has achieved notable successes representing clients throughout the world in connection with the United States government's ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute United States taxpayers, intermediaries (e.g., bankers, lawyers, accountants), and foreign banks for unreported offshore income and accounts. He has assisted scores of clients with unreported foreign bank accounts in successfully entering and completing the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative program that commenced in 2009. That program offers taxpayers with such unreported offshore accounts lower civil penalties and the potential for criminal amnesty. He has additionally represented intermediaries who have facilitated alleged offshore tax evasion and have been targeted for criminal prosecution by the United States Department of Justice's Tax Division and United States Attorney Offices. With respect to foreign banks and in connection with the Department of Justice's amnesty program for Swiss Banks announced on Aug. 29, 2013, he has represented Swiss banks, acting as counsel and separately as an independent examiner of the Swiss bank's compliance with the requirements of the program.Notably in 2013, Nathan represented three U.S. taxpayers who had each been criminally investigated and prosecuted by the Department of Justice for offshore felony tax or bank secrecy act offenses. Each case involved hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars of unreported foreign bank accounts. In each instance, he successfully convinced the United States district judges to sentence each client to a term of probation and no imprisonment.Prior to joining the firm, Nathan was the assistant attorney general for the tax division of the U.S. Department of Justice. As head of the Tax Division, Nathan oversaw the nation's largest tax litigation firm with over 350 lawyers enforcing federal tax laws through criminal, civil and appellate litigation in every federal district in the country.Prior to joining the Justice Department, Nathan was in private practice for 11 years in a boutique litigation firm, where he concentrated on representing individuals and organizations in tax controversy litigation, federal and state white collar criminal investigations and litigation, and complex civil litigation.Before joining the ranks of private practitioners, Nathan served as an assistant United States attorney for the criminal division of the Central District of California. In that role, Nathan prosecuted over 180 cases in the public corruption and government fraud section, ranging from tax violations, bank fraud, loan fraud, money laundering, and bribery to government program fraud, customs fraud, environmental crimes, arson, narcotics trafficking, bank robbery, alien smuggling, and perjury. He spearheaded the Los Angeles Disaster Fraud Task Force, was the environmental crimes coordinator, tried over 20 jury trials, argued over 20 appeals before the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and ran over 30 complex grand jury investigations.Nathan clerked for United States District Judge Stephen V. Wilson in Los Angeles. He is a certified specialist in Criminal Law in California and has previously been appointed as federal receiver in several cases.

Berger, a business consultant, on all four criminal charges he faced stemming from his 2006 personal income tax and partnership returns. Berger had been charged with claiming a false deduction for a $1 million charitable donation as well as submitting a false gift letter to the Internal Revenue Service in connection with an audit. He was also charged with lying to IRS agents about whether he had access to the charity's bank accounts and statements. After a four-day trial, the jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning not guilty verdicts on all counts.The evidence showed that Mr. Berger never signed, authorized or even reviewed his 2006 personal income tax return before it was electronically filed with the IRS, Hochman and Saunders said. The jury's verdict in near-record time demonstrates, as we have argued repeatedly, that this criminal prosecution was meritless and should never have been brought.Berger never signed the return because four days before it was due in October 2007, his then-four-year-old son was kidnapped from preschool by Berger's ex-wife, who, using false passports, fled the U.S. with their son through five different countries and, ultimately, to her native country of South Africa. This was the second time the ex-wife had kidnapped their son.Once again, I found myself as a single father fighting for justice and to defend the welfare of my child, Berger said. I attribute my ability to successfully defend myself and my son's welfare to the tremendous talent, passion and hardworking ethics of my defense team, Mr. Hochman and Mr. Saunders.News of this case was reported by Tax Notes Today, the Santa Monica Patch and the Lookout News.Hochman Represents Businessman in Tax Case Wyoming Star-Tribune, June 10, 2014 - Partner Nathan Hochman is representing Sonny Pilcher - a Casper, Wyo., businessman who owns three local businesses - in a plea deal on a federal charge related to faulty tax filing. Nathan said Pilcher will enter a guilty plea in connection to a tax-related federal charge in June. In resolving that case, Mr. Pilcher will be accepting full responsibility for his actions and mistakes he made in connection with his tax returns, Nathan said, adding that it's rare for someone to enter a plea agreement so early in a case. [Pilcher] is the kind of person who, if he makes a mistake, stands up and admits to making a mistake, Nathan said. It's all about Mr. Pilcher cooperating with the government's investigation. Pilcher's case is considered criminal, meaning that according to the allegations he purposefully made a mistake on his tax return. Civil cases in this area involved defendants who do not make purposeful mistakes on their returns. Nathan is unsure what punishment Pilcher will face for the offense. We believe that the evidence at sentencing will overwhelmingly show that Mr. Pilcher is a good person who made a mistake on his tax returns, Nathan added.Hochman Opines on UBS Tax Evasion Case NPR, Jan. 8, 2014 - Raoul Weil has pleaded not guilty to charges that he helped thousands of Americans evade paying their taxes. Weil was one of the top managers at UBS, a Swiss bank that helped nearly 20,000 Americans hide their assets in secret accounts. UBS already agreed to pay a large fine and hand over the names of U.S. account holders and now the Justice Department is prosecuting the man allegedly behind the massive tax fraud scheme. The UBS case sort of broke the dam on foreign bank secrecy, said partner Nathan Hochman. The information that the Internal Revenue Service is going to start getting from foreign banks will be extensive. And U.S. taxpayers won't be able to keep their unreported tax income abroad without fear that the U.S. government is going to find out about it.�(Also at Washington, District of Columbia Office)
