I just took delivery of a 16″ SIP panel sample piece courtesy of Enercept. As you can see in the picture, the sample includes a TJI spine—this piece came off a run they did for a roofing job. Enercept offers thermally broken studs for wall panels as well as the pictured TJIs. They claim that the EPS foam is made largely from recycled content. I am looking to verify that.
The seam tape is labeled as Ashland's Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) Sealing Tape, a patented, pressure-sensitive, vulcanized butyl rubber adhesive laminated to a polyolefin carrier membrane. This sort of product is of interest not only to SIP construction but would be useful for any wall assembly that utilizes OSB as an air tightness and/or vapor retarder.
What is the relevance of a 16 inch SIP, you may ask? Well, it turns out that for Passive House walls in Minnesota climate, this panel provides nearly adequate R-value. For those not familiar with the term, SIP stands for "structural insulated panel" and basically describes a sandwich product that can be used for building envelopes: floors, walls, and ceilings/roofs.
At TE Studio, we believe that Passive House design—both for new construction and retrofits—delivers tremendous value for our clients. Here is a brief summary on why you might want to consider Passive House Design for your next construction project.

I always meant to post this talk by James Howard Kunstler. As a "foreigner" in the U.S. I cannot help but observe certain differences from my native Germany and Europe as a whole, that really have a profound impact on day-to-day living here—especially in the Midwest. James makes a lot of points along those lines that I sympathize with. I encourage you to watch this lecture carefully. I believe that it is our responsibility as building designers, architects, and urban planners to better understand the human nature and human desires—then turn them into a built environment worth caring for, worth being proud of. I believe it is important for people to identify with their surroundings. As a result, we have the opportunity to create comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable space (indoors and outside) that will empower us, encourage us, and impact the environment less, while at the same time help define who we are and what we stand for.
(Please note, the talk contains some strong language that may not be appropriate for children)
I updated the frequently asked questions (FAQ) section of the TE Studio website. You may find it at: www.testudio.com/passive.html Please click on FAQ at the top. I will also add that information as a page to this blog for your convenience.
"Once again, your talk was great. You drew the largest crowd we have ever had. It is a popular subject that people want to learn about, and they should, as this is extremely important for the planet. Thanks for doing such a great job of conveying the information to us."

I'd like to thank all those who came to listen to my first talk about Passive House design and building standard here in the Twin Cities last night. I greatly enjoyed the discussion and appreciate the overwhelming amount of positive feedback.
To those of you who would like to see the last 6 slides that we did not get to, I posted them after the break. Read more →
This is already a few years old but Amory Lovins is just amazing at putting things into perspective. I believe, that we can make a similar case as he makes for automobiles and airplanes for buildings, and I secretly wish that I can one day point to a convincing lecture like this about Passive Houses versus existing and new construction buildings.
Just a quick reminder: I will giving a talk about Passive House Design tonight at 6.30PM, at the Ramsey County Library in Roseville on Hamline & County Road B, in the Community Meeting Room. I hope to see you there.
I will be speaking at this month's Mid-West Building Ecology Coalition meeting on Monday, October 13th, at the Ramsey County Library in Roseville (Northeast corner Hamline and County Road B, Community Meeting Room to the left as you enter the library. The library is one block south of Highway 36 on Hamline Road.)
The meeting starts at 6.30PM. My talk will focus on an introduction to the concept of Passive House design and the potential it holds.
The Mid-West Building Ecology Coalition is hosted by Oram Miller of Create Healthy Homes.

In the August 2008 issue, Journal of Light Construction published an article titled: Making the best of rising energy costs, by Paul Eldrenkamp. In his article, Paul talkes about different building standards, one of which is Passive House. Paul also addresses one of my biggest issues with "green" building — the leck of emphasis on energy! I could not agree more that we can do so much better in terms of performance of buildings.
While Energy Star and LEED offer a potential 25% reduction in energy consumption over code-construction, Passive House uses energy modeling and field-testing to deliver up to 90% reduced energy consumption for space conditioning, and a 75% reduction in overall source-energy consumption. All of this at a very small increase in day-one construction cost, which are easily offset in a very short amount of time, while creating real value, increased sale or resale prices, and up to 25% quicker sales.
Passive House retrofits offer the potential of reducing energy consumption for space-conditioning by up to 80%. This is still much more than a LEED conversion would yield. Nevertheless, LEED can be a great partner, as many of its requirements compliment Passive House standard quite well.
So, enjoy Paul's article and consider energy when looking at your next project, no matter what the type or budget may be. Improvements can be made at any step along the way. And the benefit is always yours.
I just got the audiobook version of Cradle to Cradle, by William McDonough and Michael Braungart. The concept is extremely interesting and in anybody's search of sustainability, it presents the ultimate concept of how to achieve it. William McDonough spoke at TED, which I frequently look at for excellent talks on all sorts of subjects, as a matter of fact, you can subscribe to TED's talks in iTunes (as Podcasts) and receive all their available videos for free.
With all the conventions and political activity these days I hear a lot about green collar jobs. I would describe myself as having one of these green collar jobs, and I have even had people send their resumes to work with me in this green economy. Now we just need the economy to catch up with the green collars that are out here. So my political message of the day is: Read more →
Today, I posted a number of small text pages that highlight these areas of Passive House design in a nutshell:
In a unanimous vote at last night's housing committee meeting, North Minneapolis' Hawthorne neighborhood agreed to partner with MinneAppleseed to build a Passive House. The committee vowed to work with MinneAppleseed on the design. The next steps are now to find and secure a lot, and start design in earnest. This important step puts MinneAppleseed and the Appleseed House on track for a 2009 groundbreaking.
I would like to extend my thanks to the housing committee for being open-minded and embracing MinneAppleseed's ideas for North Minneapolis. I look forward to working with them.
TE Studio today adopted the Architecture 2030 Challenge, further dedicating its services to avert a global climate crisis. Offering Passive House design, TE Studio can help meet the CO2 reduction goal for 2020 today! Using renewable energy sources, TE studio can also offer ZEB (zero energy building) as well as carbon-neutral buildings, today. For retrofits, we offer Passive House standard remodeling options that can help buildings achieve 2015 standards for new construction, today.
Synopsis (source: architecture 2030 website)
Buildings are the major source of demand for energy and materials that produce by-product greenhouse gases (GHG). Slowing the growth rate of GHG emissions and then reversing it over the next ten years is the key to keeping global warming under one degree centigrade (°C) above today's level. It will require immediate action and a concerted global effort.
To accomplish this, Architecture 2030 has issued The 2030 °Challenge asking the global architecture and building community to adopt the following targets:
• All new buildings, developments and major renovations shall be designed to meet a fossil
fuel, GHG-emitting, energy consumption performance standard of 50% of the regional (or country) average for that building type.
• At a minimum, an equal amount of existing building area shall be renovated annually to
meet a fossil fuel, GHG-emitting, energy consumption performance standard of 50% of the regional (or country) average for that building type.
• The fossil fuel reduction standard for all new buildings shall be increased to:
60% in 2010
70% in 2015
80% in 2020
90% in 2025
Carbon-neutral in 2030 (using no fossil fuel GHG emitting energy to operate).
These targets may be accomplished by implementing innovative sustainable design strategies, generating on-site renewable power and/or purchasing (20% maximum) renewable energy and/or certified renewable energy credits.
I added a page for lectures and talks to the navigation menu on the right hand side, under Pages. In addition I created a page that holds all the metrics regarding Passive House design, as well as some recommendations, opportunities and links to resources. I thought it may be helpful to have it all in one place.
I was wondering if anyone had numbers on the space conditioning energy used in the average U.S. home today. I've heard numbers like 185kWH/m2 yr or 58,580 BTU/sf yr. I am also looking for numbers for residential electrical use per year and domestic hot water energy. It'd be nice to be able to make a general comparison between the built housing stock and Passive House standard to illustrate Passive House performance.
Call me crazy, but I want to get this straight once and for all. Here is how I understand zero energy for a residential building. Please feel free to way in with comments.
Step 1) Zero Site Energy
energy produced on site = energy used on site
Step 2) Zero Energy (edit: Zero Source Energy)
energy produced on site = primary energy used at provider to produce site energy
(assuming all systems are grid-tied and all incoming energy comes from the grid, all outgoing energy goes to the grid)
Step 3) Carbon Neutrality or Zero CO2
energy produced on site offsets CO2 in the amount of CO2 used in primary energy production at provider to produce site energy
(assuming systems are grid-tied and all incoming energy comes from the grid, all outgoing energy goes to the grid)
In reality, I think the Zero Energy and Zero CO2 standards can be achieved without offsetting all theoretical primary energy and primary energy production CO2, since that amount of energy is never fully utilized from the provider—some part of it is directly produced and consumed on site.
Step 4) Carbon Offset & Net Positive Energy
enough energy is produced on site to offset additional carbon and add additional energy to the grid
It appears to me that the only way to make a dent in energy consumption and CO2 production by buildings is to build a bunch of "Step 4" buildings. Feel free to disagree with me in the comment section.
I am currently working on a strategy for a dehumidification system for the Appleseed House in Minneapolis, MN. There are a few weeks out of any given year that make dehumidification a necessity. Most Minnesotans agree that the humidity is what makes July and August unpleasant, rather than the temperature. During the Passive House Consultant's training I was able to spend some time with David White from Transsolar on the subject. We identified one strategy that uses a Thermastor UA-XT150H dehumidification machine (see image) that can be added to the airflow at those times of the year. In further discussion with Thermastor I learned that I actually have options on how to use their equipment. The original idea that David and I discussed was to utilize a ground-loop to run a water-cooled coil in the Thermastor machine. In this case, heat generated in the process would be deposited in the ground. A way to put that energy to better use would be to run a loop through a DHW storage tank. Alternatively, the machine could be run without the condensing coil inside, and simply exhaust to the exterior. Further investigation is needed to make the proper choice. I also learned from Thermastor that the machine David and I were looking at is likely oversized. Thermastor does offer smaller capacity units that may be more fitting for my particular application. The water-cooled coil is a special order version of the XT150H.
I just had to repost this. Enjoy.
During this last session of Passive House Training I learned that 25-35kWh per square meter and year are acceptable, and respectable space-conditioning energy numbers for a remodeled building. At the same time, any other requirements like air-tightness do not differ from the original Passive House requirements. While a remodel that achieves 25-35 kWh per square meter and year does not pass PHPP (Passive House Planning Package) calculations, it is a substantial achievement and definitely a significant improvement over performance before the upgrade (potentially up to 80% and more energy saved).
The Passive House Institute has researched and shown, that there is tremendous value in retrofitting to Passive House standard. Adding Passive House insulation and achieving high air-tightness helps avoid condensation and due-points at the thermal bridges and inside wall assemblies, therefore protecting the existing structure far better than a lesser improvement. This also ensures healthier indoor environmental quality.
Here is photo provided by fellow Passive House seminar attendee Paul Eldrenkamp. What you are looking at is the effect of sunlight bouncing off of the neighbor's windows and creating a sundial-like pattern on the facade of this building. I am not sure what temperatures are needed to produce this kind of damage—I have seen damaged vinyl siding from barbeque grills that were placed too close to homes. Needless to say, I try to stay away from the product as I don't feel that it is suited for a quality building.
A few years ago I was part of a couple of projects where we used Thermacal (Cornell Corp.) for exterior insulation on stick-framed retrofits (see image). The product comes in standard sheetgood sizes, with your choice of insulation layer and sheathing product. The image shows a 7-1/4″ polyurethane foam—3/4″ plywood panel that was used for the roof. The walls were clad with 4-1/4″ polyurethane foam—3/4″ plywood panels. Before, all overhangs were cut off and an air-tight layer was established on the former exterior sheathing layer of the building. Installation of the product is more difficult than installing just sheathing—fasteners (screws) are very long and need to be put into the framing members beyond. Joints need to be sealed. All-in-all this is not a cheap and easy task, but it provides a thermal-bridge free exterior insulation package with great R-value.
No pun intended.
I have seen a great number of air-intakes for ventilation systems here in the US that all look alike: A duct protruding a wall; sometimes with a grille to keep debris out, sometimes cut at an angle or decorated to stand out as an architectural gesture. (FYI, the lip shown above in the image is the underside of an exterior metal window sill.)
During my visit to Germany I came across this intake, that also doubles as a filter for pollen and particles. I thought this was a neat idea and worth replicating, even if the design of the box could use a little bit of design attention. The filters in HRV or ERV machines are not really meant to take care of these pollutants and by the time they get to the equipment, they are already inside the duct-system. I have yet to locate a resource for such a product in the US—the model shown is made by a company named Paul in Germany.

I am in Urbana, IL this week to complete the third round of the first ever US Passive House seminar. At this point there is a core group of people that is going for certification. The conversations and discussions are exciting and inspiring. Today's exercise actually revolved around the Waldsee Biohaus in Bemidji, MN. I have not been up there—unfortunately a trip with the MinneApplessed group had to be cancelled—but I have met with the architect Stefan Tanner to learn a little bit about its conception and construction. I am going to miss Urbana after this session, and the people that come here to become Passive House pioneers and make history 😉 Fortunately, some of them will come to Duluth in November, so that conversations and discussions can be continued and experience be shared. At this point it is only appropriate to thank Katrin Klingenberg and Mike Kernagis for their relentless effort to bring Passive House to the US and share their wisdom with those who will bring it to the masses.
I am all fired up after my trip to Germany and the studies of a few Passive Houses in the birthplace of Passive House design. Along those lines I don't want to forget to mention that this year's annual North American Passive House Conference is right around the corner. PHIUS (Passive House Institute US) is hosting the third annual conference right in our backyard, in Duluth, MN. Click on the image below for the conference website. I am signed up for the conference and tour, in case you would like to hook up with me up north. This is the place to be for everything Passive House in North America.
Passive House: Where the Whole is greater than the Sum of its Parts.
I'm posting from Gotha (Germany) today. Over the course of the last two weeks I explored a couple of Passive Houses and carefully studied the latest and greatest strategies and details. The images below show a coupe of projects I toured, as well as one that caught my attention along the way. I look forward to implementing the recent experience into my current work.
I found this worth reposting since it is a new requirement for registered architects. I highly welcome it.
To demonstrate its commitment to sustainable design and the architects' leadership role, the AIA Board of Directors modified the AIA member Continuing Education requirement to include four (4) hours of sustainable design continuing professional education as part of the existing 18 hour annual requirement. This sustainable design continuing education requirement goes into effect in calendar year 2009 through 2012.

During yesterday's speech at the Democratic Convention, Brian Schweitzer (Governor of Montana) spoke at length about energy independence. If you strip the political messages out of it you can find some interesting remarks about energy and the future starting at about minute 5 of the video below. While hybrid cars take the spotlight as usual, I believe that retrofitting buildings, and sustainably engineering new ones holds a tremendous potential for energy savings that will likely have greater impact than the hybrids. At any rate, all efforts are welcome. To truly achieve energy independence, which also happens to solve the environmental crisis we are in as well as create an abundance of green-collar jobs and therefore fuel the economy, is a great goal that I fully support.
The MinneAppleseed Blog went live today thanks to yours truly. It's in its infancy yet and will likely grow around the group and the project. MinneAppleseed is the organization behind the Appleseed House, an affordable, LEED and MN GreenStar certified Passive House to be build in North Minneapolis in collaboration with the Hawthorne Neighborhood and Minnesota Green Communities.
I had the opportunity to tour the site of the North Minneapolis Eco Village in the Hawthorne neighborhood today. In lieu of a MinneAppleseed blog at this point I just want to post a link to the project on this website. This is one potential site for the Appleseed House.
Most energy sources' embodied energy is diminished by the time it is delivered to and consumed in your home. For example, the energy that is embodied in a piece of coal that is used in a coal-fired power plant to generate electricity is roughly diminished by up to 70% by the time it reaches an electrical outlet in your home through inefficiencies both in the production of electricity and in the transmitting power grid. It is important to take this into account when making choices for what energy source to consider for a building. In terms of electricity, I can recommend Xcel's wind-source program for the TwinCities, as it's production does not produce carbon emissions. Nevertheless, transmission losses are an issue here as well. On-site solar photo-voltaic systems can be a great option to eliminate high primary energy use. The best solution will depend on the location and solar exposure of your building.
In the Passive House calculations, primary energy is calculated using factors that describe inefficiencies and energy loss as opposed to just looking at the energy use in the building. Passive House standard limits this primary energy use to 31,700 BTUs per square foot of living space and year, or 120kWh per square meter and year in the metric system.
minneAppleseed is the group of do-gooders behind the Appleseed House project. Their website just launched, though still with a coming-soon message on it. Keep an eye on it as it will be following the efforts surrounding the Appleseed House and the community efforts that "grow" around it.
I am a proud member of minneAppleseed.
A couple of days ago I attended an AIA breakfast seminar by speaker Louise Goldberg, Senior Research Associate and Director Building Physics and Foundations Research Programs at the College of Design, University of Minnesota—that is a mouth-full, I know. Louise has done extensive research in the field of wall-system performance, or in simpler terms, ways to keep the water out and the space-conditioning heat and cold in. Louise made a point of demonstrating a Universal Standard (that she proposes) versus MN Energy Code. In my opinion this is highly relevant research, and Louise offers practical solutions for exterior wind wash barriers, water separation planes, air barriers, vapor retarders and insulation—all with research data to back it up. If you want to get technical you can find one of her research reports at this address. I am meeting with Louise this month to discuss wall systems for Passive House designs. Louise is a Ph.D (Eng) and her company —Lofrango Engineering— offers consulting services.
A thing of interest for Passive House designers is the fact that Louise talked about the benefits of wood fiberboard sheathing for stud-wall construction, as well as structural 1.5″ OSB stacked wood wall panels. I have yet to find more info on these wall systems. I think that the U of M did research on developing a stacked wood wall system, so if anyone has a link to that, please comment.
Peak Building Products out of Watertown, MN is now offering Optiwin windows from Germany. Thermally broken frames and heavy duty construction put them up there with the best windows in the world. Their products are Passive House certified by the Passive House Institute but their unmatched R-values of 10 and better make them a great choice for any type of construction in climate zones with above average heating or cooling loads. Optiwin also offers glazing options that allow for passive solar heat gains, which are desirable in heating climates such as Minnesota. Find out more at www.optiwin-usa.com, or at www.peakbp.net
Before I forget, Optiwin also makes a stunning entrance door called the "Frostkorken Door". Again, the R-value performance is incredible. In recent calculations I found that the entrance door to an average size residence alone can have significant impact on the heat loss.
I have seen a lot of these "Your Speed" Police displays around the Twin Cities lately, and while I think that they are a good idea, I feel that we are in desperate need of displays that tell us what our "environmental speed" is.
Now I know, some people think that we are scolding people by showing them how much gas their vehicle burns or how much CO2 comes out of the tail pipe. Nevertheless, how is one to conserve if he Read more →

death (expressing sympathies)
2012-07-29 15:36:05
Guys, I'm really sad to see the number of deaths that happened yesterday. I logged on to the org today, and discovered that Quu passed away last night. I extend my sympathies to his family; I'm very sorry for your loss.
Although I don't know Quu's family personally, I can understand how they felt yesterday. My grandmother passed away yesterday as well. Many of my family members that I haven't seen in years showed up yesterday, and it wasn't as if I wasn't happy to see them, but not for this reason.
Just wanted to bring that out. Another family in my area (really, my church community) lost their mother on the same day.
To everyone who lost someone on 7/28/12, I'm very sorry for your loss. Be strong, and you'll get through this tough moment in your life. Just remember (even if you don't believe in God) that your loved one is now in a better place. I hope that in itself puts your heart a little more at ease.
went solo today;
2011-08-05 23:39:20
I've always liked the idea of being a solo editor, so today, I pretty much left all studios and MEP groups (gosh, I joined too many .___.).
I'll still be editing but after finishing up all of my current MEPs on the org (I quit all my Youtube ones), I think I'm just going to make AMVs and not join anything else. With school, I don't have enough time for everything anyway. ;A;
//mep; virus vault
2011-04-21 17:01:37
Auditions for my MEP, Virus Vault, are open! :D
I plan to keep it a Youtube MEP because there are many good YT editors that don't like the org at all. It might be uploaded on the org eventually but I'm not too sure.
Please audition if you have time.
a little on rap music....
2011-02-25 21:17:07
Pretty sure people won't take kindly to an AMV with rap music. Especially a song by Kanye West that doesn't really make sense at the beginning.
But oh well. I'll still make it.
studio stuff
2010-10-12 22:57:09
I have some kind of a problem.
I can't decide if going solo or joining a small studio is better. I never was a fan of studios that had more than 15 members unless everyone was really close. I like to be in a close-knit studio.
Everytime I think about just going solo, I always run back to the idea of being in a small studio.
I wonder which is better. o____e

In practice, during a 7-on-7 drill, the Giants' scout team offense ran the play all week.
Terrell Thomas even made an interception during the drill, which is why he waited patiently for the Raiders to show him the right formation during Sunday's game.
It came on a third-and-9 with less than three minutes to go in the third quarter. Rod Streater motioned to Thomas' side and he knew right at that moment that he wasn't covering him.
The ball was going to Denarius Moore on a quick slant. Thomas was going to jump it.
"I was waiting for it all game, they were giving me two-by-two but they hadn't ran it all game, but when they motioned, I kind of knew it was coming so I stayed inside and I jumped it. I think Trumaine (McBride) was there to make the play, too."
This is Thomas' game now. After last night's game he admitted he's still only about 80 percent healthy. Three separate ACL surgeries will do that. The knee still bothers him. He gets days off at practice to help with the recovery.
So he prepares more. He watches more film in hopes that he can find himself in the right place. The interception and 67-yard return set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Andre Brown that gave the Giants a 21-20 lead.
"I've definitely put myself more into the film so the game can slow down a little for me and I can play a lot faster," Thomas said. "I just use my strengths that I have and just keep making plays."
Thomas wanted to score on the play, just like he did in practice, but he was tangled up by Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor. As he fell to the ground, Andre Holmes managed to jar the ball loose, but Thomas was ruled down following a review.
"That's going to haunt me tonight, man," Thomas said.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Claims
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA), accidental carbon monoxide poisoning kills around 40 people in the UK annually. Furthermore, the Department of Health estimates 4,000 people are treated for the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning every year just in England, with 200 of them requiring a stay in a hospital. In short, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Claims are there out of necessity.
If you, or someone you care for, has been poisoned by carbon monoxide due to accident or negligence, contact The Compensation Experts. Our knowledgeable advisors can determine whether you are blameless and can put you in touch with one of a select team of personal injury solicitors who will be able to help you claim compensation.
What is a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Claim?
Carbon monoxide is an odourless, tasteless, gaseous byproduct of the burning of fossil fuels including oil and petroleum, wood, and natural gas. It is found in industrial and automotive settings, but can also occur at home due to a defective boiler. Carbon monoxide prevents red blood cells from carrying oxygen around the body, which leads to tissues and cells dying.
As well as being potentially lethal, side effects of carbon monoxide poisoning can include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dizziness and confusion
- A headache and muscular aches, as if suffering from flu though without the fever
- Exhaustion
- Difficulty breathing
- Acidosis, which is excessively high blood acidity
Carbon monoxide poisoning compensation claims can be made after being poisoned at home, rental property, or work, or while on holiday. For instance:
- A domestic boiler which has been incorrectly fitted, even if the person who installed it has the correct qualifications
- A holiday cottage with a faulty boiler and no carbon monoxide alarm to alert guests of danger
- In garages or places where car engines are running, and there is inadequate ventilation
- Anywhere with insufficient or faulty monitoring equipment, including carbon monoxide detectors
Claiming Compensation for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
If you are unfortunate enough to be affected by carbon monoxide poisoning then get in touch with The Compensation Experts. Our advisors will talk to you about your particular circumstances to determine whether you are eligible to make a claim. If so, they will refer you to one of the personal injury solicitors we work with, taking care to match you with the lawyer who will best suit your needs.
The amount of compensation you receive and the time it takes to process your claim is dependent on the extent of how your injury has affected you. The clearer liability is, the faster your application will proceed, and we will do all we can to obtain an acceptable payment without you having to go to court.
The Compensation Experts have experience in all areas of personal injury claims. We work with lawyers who clearly understand the law and how to best make it work for your benefit, who will keep you informed every step of the way without using confusing jargon, and who respect the ordeal you have already been through.

Am I eligible?
If you have been harmed physically in the last 3 years, due to someone else's negligence, the short answer is yes.
Exceptions to this are for instance industrial disease or if you were a child at the time of the accident you may have a longer period to claim.
How much could I claim?
As every injury is different, the amount of compensation paid out can differ case to case. Varying factors lead to the final figure include: extent of your injuries, earnings missed out on, future losses and more.
Our dedicated team of experts will give you an indication of how much you could potentially claim for.
How does the process work?

University Senate Proposed: January 31, 2003
The chairman, President Lee Bollinger, called the meeting to order shortly after 1:15 pm in the Davis Auditorium in Schapiro Engineering. Fifty of 97 senators were present during the meeting.
Minutes and agenda: The agenda was adopted as proposed. The minutes of November 22, 2002 were adopted with a couple of corrections: the year of the founding of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery is 1916, not 1960; and the correct number of clinical practice hours beyond the bachelor's degree that would be required of candidates for the proposed Doctor of Nursing Practice program should have been listed as 2900, not 29.
President's report: The president said administrators have made progress in space planning, and expect to announce some broad recommendations early in the next semester.
He noted that Vice President Emily Lloyd was providing the Columbia community with information about how to deal with a possible transit strike in the days ahead.
Sen. Luciano Rebay (Ten., A&S/Hum) repeated allegations he has made at other meetings about the sale of the Casa Italiana to the Italian government in 1990, a transaction that he said was represented by the Columbia press office as a large gift. He said he is preparing a dossier on this and related matters that he will present to the president, but also to the news media.
Sen. Herbert Gans (Ten., A&S/Social Sciences) asked about the work of the task force reviewing the mission of the Journalism School, and wondered if a similar review is planned for the Architecture School, which, like Journalism, is searching for a new dean.
The president said the task force, a 30-member group drawn from Columbia and outside that has now met three times, has been thinking about what an ideal journalism school would be like. He stressed that the work of the task force is not a review of the current Columbia school. He expected the committee to finish its work midway through the spring semester. There may or may not be a final report, though he will make a statement of his own conclusions.
The president said the impetus for creation of the task force was vigorous debate on this and other campuses about what a journalism school should be. He said he has not heard controversy on this scale about architecture or other professional disciplines, and therefore doesn't see the need now for other studies of this kind.
Provost Jonathan Cole said that he considered all of Sen. Rebay's remarks on the Casa Italiana to be erroneous or misleading. He said it was unfortunate that this conversation has continued for years in this and other settings, testing the tolerance of colleagues.
Sen. Ralph Holloway (Ten., A&S/SS) asked if any attempt is being made to save bioanthropology, his subfield of anthropology. He said the Education Committee received a student petition on this subject last spring, and the issue has been aired in the Spectator and in professional newsletters. The response that bioanthropology will be covered by the new Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (E3B) is insufficient, he said, because E3B offers no courses in human evolution, an essential topic in bioanthropology. He asked to be included in future discussions of this subject in the Anthropology Dept.
Provost Cole said the issue Sen. Holloway raised is part of a continuing discussion that has been going on for some time in the Arts and Sciences. He said he and Vice President for Arts and Sciences David Cohen would be willing to consider new contributions to this discussion, and to discuss them with Sen. Holloway.
Nominations to committees: Executive Committee chairman Paul Duby (Ten., SEAS) welcomed three new student observers to the University Senate: Jeff Sult and Nathan Walker from Teachers College, and Josh Thomas from Union Theological Seminary.
Executive Committee chairman's report: Sen. Duby reminded senators of the most important item on the agenda—the holiday reception after the meeting in the Senate office.
--Interactions with Trustees: On December 7 Sen. Marnie Hall (Stu., GSAS/Natural Sciences) and Sen. Duby attended the Trustees' regular plenary meeting , though much of it was conducted in executive session. Sen. Duby learned that members of the Trustees' education committee, who meet regularly with students, had talked that weekend with a group of graduate students. He said the student caucus might want to participate in such a meeting.
The Trustees are concerned about current tightening of the University budget. At this point they do not want to change the current endowment spending rule, Sen. Duby said, but they might change their minds later on.
Sen. Duby called attention to a letter in the Senate packet soliciting nominees for "Senate-consulted" Trustees. This group comprises one quarter of the 24-member board. For the last few years these board members have been chosen through a successful consultation process involving nominating subcommittees from the Senate and the board who meet together early in the spring term to choose one Trustee or so each year. The Senate group, a subcommittee of the Executive Committee, will begin preparing for that meeting in the next few weeks.
--Other issues: The resolution to change the Senate by-laws to expand representation for Officers of Research, adopted by the Senate on November 1, was submitted to the Trustees for the first time the past weekend. If there are no objections at the next Trustee meeting in early March, the amendments will have final approval, and the Senate can hold elections for the four new researcher seats. Elections are being held now for the two current seats. Sen. Duby said Sen. Stephanie Neuman, who worked hard to get the amendment passed, is not running in the present election. He hoped she will run again in the spring.
Sen. Duby said he was obliged to report again on the Senate column in the University Record. Once again, he said, mention of his remarks to the Senate about cuts in the column were cut from the next Senate Record column. There has now been publicity about this problem in the Spectator and the Chronicle of Higher Education. The good news, he said is that a subcommittee of Senators Sharyn O'Halloran (Ten., A&S/Social Sciences) and Roosevelt Montas (Stu., GSAS/Hum) has been meeting with Provost Cole, and are close to an agreement on editorial procedures for the column. On December 9, the Executive Committee was unable to hold a full discussion of the procedures because the president and the provost had to leave early. But Sen. Duby hoped to settle the issue at the January Executive Committee meeting.
Finally, Sen. Duby addressed the Executive Committee decision on December 9 to leave the two degree proposals from Health Sciences--the Doctor of Nursing Practice and the Doctor of Physical Therapy—off the agenda for the present meeting. For the third time this semester, the Executive Committee discussed the programs at length, and was unanimous in deciding to postpone further Senate consideration of the two proposals. He noted that there is one more Senate meeting—on January 31--before the Trustees meet next in early March, so a postponement of one Senate meeting will not further delay Trustee action.
Sen. Duby said there have now been two substantial Senate discussions of the proposed programs, and he urged senators to read the minutes of these meetings—on November 1 and November 22—to prepare for an eventual vote.
Sen. Duby said one important point at the last meeting—made by several senators, including the president—is the need for guidelines for Columbia doctoral degrees, particularly at Health Sciences. He had asked Education Committee chair Letty Moss-Salentijn to request standards for clinical doctorates from Health Sciences Vice President Gerald Fischbach. For its January 22 meeting, Education may see some standards, which might also be shared with the Senate on January 31.
Report from the faculty caucuses: Caucus co-chair Sharyn O'Halloran said caucus reports are a new practice, providing an opportunity to share some of the issues the caucuses are discussing, to get additional input and possibly to expand the debate. The caucuses have devoted time recently to the proposed nursing practice doctorate, focusing on the need for standards and the question of whether the proposed program is sufficiently developed to constitute a doctorate.
A second main issue, Sen. O'Halloran said, is the need for information sharing with the provost's office. One example is access to nonconfidential salary ratios for language lecturers, which the Senate requested in a resolution last spring but has been unable to obtain. Language lecturers are a class of instructors that the Senate created in the late 1980s and is obliged to review. Another example is information about budget and resource allocation decisions that affect the University as a whole. Other issues are pay equity for senior professors and the lack of transparency in the allocation of apartments to faculty.
These concerns go to the heart of the relationship with the central administration, Sen. O'Halloran said. As part of University management, the Senate has an obligation to oversee policy in a wide variety of areas. But it cannot perform this function without timely and adequate information, which the administration has provided in some recent inquiries. But senators are hoping for a more cooperative process, or perhaps an independent review panel that can evaluate information requests to see if they breach confidentiality requirements or fiduciary obligations.
Finally, Sen. O'Halloran said, the caucuses have been concerned about the excise of content from the Senate Record column. She hoped the Executive Committee could agree soon on new editorial procedures, which she can report to the next Senate meeting.
New business:
--Report from the Advisory Committee on Socially Responsible Investing: Prof. Merit Janow, who was appointed chair for this fall, reported on her first few months in charge of the committee, which was formed in March 2000. She said the group this year will likely consider the same categories of issues for proxy resolutions as last year--including the environment, labor, human rights, pharmaceutical issues, handguns, and corporate governance--but will probably surpass the total of 89 resolutions in these categories that it evaluated last year. It will also continue to evaluate socially screened investment vehicles, as well as the possibility of rules and guidelines for the committee's own operations. The CSRI may also contact authors of some shareholder resolutions for fine-tuning of the language that might lead to committee support.
Prof. Janow mentioned the committee's December 4 statement opposing the recent petition recommending divestment of Columbia's stock in companies that manufacture or sell weapons to Israel. She said this issue will not be on the CSRI agenda again this year.
Sen. Michael Castleman (Stu., SEAS) identified a pattern of committee votes ignoring issues affecting the "global south," such as shareholder resolutions on the environment, pharmaceutical pricing, and global labor conditions, and supporting issues of interest to the "global north," like corporate governance and board diversity, executive compensation, and local labor issues. Sen. Castleman saw a worrisome trend in these preferences.
Prof. Janow said that in her brief time on the committee she has not seen a bias of this kind. She noted that a number of the committee's negative votes last year were cast for company-specific reasons or because of reservations about the drafting of resolutions. She also mentioned some votes from the 2002 proxy season--in favor of resolutions opposing greenhouse gas emissions and calling for lower prices for AIDS medicines in poor countries--that didn't fit Sen. Castleman's pattern.
--Resolution to Change the Name of the Department of Medical Informatics to the Department of Biomedical Informatics (Education): Education chair Letty Moss-Salentijn moved the resolution, which was adopted with minimal discussion, and without dissent. .
The chairman adjourned the meeting at around 2 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Tom Mathewson, Senate staff

(Reuters) – The Australian Open has increased its total prize purse by 14 percent to a record A$50 million ($36.19 million), with A$3.7 million up for grabs for the winners of the singles tournaments, organizers said on Wednesday.
The prize money for the season's opening grand slam has more than tripled since 2001, and risen A$10 million since 2014.
Tournament director Craig Tiley said in a statement that organizers were focused on increasing compensation for players in the early rounds and qualifying, with first round losers set for an A$50,000 windfall, up 30 percent from last year.
Similarly, second round prize money has risen 29 percent to A$80,000, with third and fourth round losers to earn A$130,000 and $220,000 respectively. Total prize money for the quarter-finals, semi-finals, runners up and winner is up 9 percent.
The Australian Open starts on Jan. 16 in Melbourne.

It seems like it was just a few days ago that we saw JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers crowned king and queen of the Bachelorette ball (because it was). Now, with this week's premiere episode of the Bachelor franchise spin-off, Bachelor in Paradise, we have a fresh crop of dating show leftovers to contend with every Monday and Tuesday night, for the rest of the summer.
The rules for BinP are as follows: Former contestants from past Bach seasons come together in equal parts boys and girls for a brief stint in "paradise" (i.e. the exploited town of Sayulita, Mexico) and a second (sometimes third) shot at love.
This season begins with the men passing out roses to the women. Couples pair up, whoever doesn't get a rose goes home, and that person is replaced with the arrival of a new cast member. Next week the women will pass out the roses, and so on—it's like musical chairs, only more cruel.
Now in its third season, Bachelor in Paradise is the Bachelor's low-rent, low-stakes cousin. Helicopters are replaced with cheap Tiki lights, and the women don't just stand around in sequined dresses holding perpetually half-full glasses of wine. In Paradise, they're sincerely drinking.
The other key difference is that you don't really "win" the show. If you and your makeshift partner make it to the end of the season, you're given a choice: Will you keep dating after the show ends, or part ways? Usually, it's just as anti-climactic as it sounds.
So far, BinP has resulted in two TV proposals and one actual marriage. Perpetually, fans argue about the show's "realness," which I think is beside the point. Yes, these people really do want to be beautiful on television, so already they have everything in common. Even if it weren't a dating show, it seems likely that a few of them would wind up pairing off and dating based on sheer genital proximity.
So about this new cast! This season's first string consists mostly of players from Ben H and Jojo's season, plus a few BinP alums.
Ladies first
First up are Emily and Haley Ferguson, aka, "the twins" from Ben H's season. They are blonde, ditsy, relatively drama-free and hopelessly interchangeable. As a weird, unnecessary twist: If one twin gets a rose, both are allowed to stay. How this will play out as the show progresses is anyone's guess.
Jubilee Sharpe from Ben H's season is a war veteran, model and gorgeous woman of color in a sea of cast members so white you can see through them.
When Izzy Goodkind walked onto the beach, everyone was all, "who's that?" But I remember her clear as a bell. Ben H sent her home on episode 1 for wearing pajamas to the cocktail party ("Are you the onesie for me?" she said, and he was like, "Get out of here, I can't see your body.") Anyway, her early departure completely ruined my BachFantasy season.
Yet another from Ben H's season, Lace Morris achieved fame early on for being repeatedly drunk, and by her own admission, "A little crazy."
Amanda Stanton made it to the final four in Ben H's season, only to be sent home immediately after Ben met her daughters. Everybody loves a contestant who's desperately trying to find a father for her children on a reality dating show!
Carly Waddell, the cruise ship singer from Chris Soule's season is back for a third shot at love after suffering from routine heartache in season 2 of BinP. You'd think her entire family had died in a faraway war, the way the show played the tragedy of her last breakup. Let's hope she fares better this time around.
You just have to say it once to get it out of the way and then it's not a big deal: Sarah Herron has one arm. She originally appeared on Sean Lowe's season and again on season 1 of BinP.
Now the boys
Vinny Ventiera left Jojo's season relatively early and failed to make an impression on me one way or another. Let's see how he does in paradise!
"Erectile Dysfunction Expert" Evan Bass from Jojo's season is the unlikely underdog who just keeps resurfacing. In real life, he'd be an ordinary looking man, but in a sea of TV-ready bachelor contestants, he looks like a lost boom mike operator who accidentally wandered onto the set.
Jojo sent square-jawed firefighter Grant Kemp home entirely too early, and now he's back for more.
Chad Johnson from Jojo's season is famous for his violent fits of rage at the slightest provocation, but I'm sure he'll be just fine in paradise.
Another one from Jojo's season, Daniel Maguire is the resident Canadian. A lot of people think he's gay, and he probably is, but I'm more interested in his weird and frequent use of complicated metaphors and similes. I think he's the show's secret genius.
At 35-years old, Nick Viall is famous for coming in second place on both Andy and Kaitlyn's seasons. In the interim, Nick seems to have focused primarily on developing his ab muscles, as evidenced by a lengthy CrossFit montage in his introduction.
Finally, we have Jared Haibon, from Kaitlyn's season, as well as BinP season 2, an all around nice guy who thus far just can't seem to find a lady he likes.
The show's first episodes are always sloppy and sad. There are a lot of faces to keep track of and the contestants seem especially vulnerable in their swimsuits. They arrive one by one and immediately section off into boys and girls camps like a high school dance.
An early favorite for me is Daniel the Canadian. "None of these girls are pretty," Daniel complains, while one stunning woman after another walks onto the beach. A self-proclaimed model, Daniel seems single-mindedly focused on physical perfection, particularly his own body. So far, Daniel thinks he might go for one of the twins, but who's to say? (Those are his words, by the way. "One of the twins." He's not even going to PRETEND like it matters which one.)
Always on BinP, a few of the women tend to make the mistake of honing in on one man and psychotically trying to trap him for the duration of the show/their lives. Jubilee has early eyes for Jared, who seems not very interested. Also, the show's intro features spoilers of him torn between two women who aren't her, so when Jubilee gets the first date card, it's kind of sad to watch a date unfold lamely that we already know will lead to nothing.
Vinny and Izzy have cutely similar names and seem to hit it off right out of the gates. They've been hanging out for like three hours when Izzy laments, "Why has not Vinny kissed me!" In a separate interview, Vinny says that he wants to take it slow, but Izzy doesn't give him the option. We watch them make out in the ocean.
All of this is secondary to the night's big event…
Hurricane Chad
There's so much to say about Chad that it's hard to know where to begin. Straight away on Jojo's season, Chad defined himself as a different kind of contestant. He was going to "tell it like it is" and not fall in line with the show's basic formula, and this attitude left him immediately ostracized by the other men. Chad is a prototypical bad boy, and should have been the show's clear villain from jump street, but on the contrary, the women of Bachelor Nation really seem to like him.
Of Chad's personal life, we know a few key things: He's a luxury real estate agent who owns a Ferrari. He's a bodybuilder who eats a lot of protein, has virtually no fat on his body and probably takes steroids. He owns a tiny Maltese. His mother died about a year ago (which, all kidding aside, really seemed to mess him up) and finally, he LOVES being a TV celebrity.
To a woman who doesn't yet have the wits to see him coming, Chad is a wounded bird in need of healing. He's the kind of guy who disarms you with his candor and then threatens to murder your entire family once you've let your guard down.
Early on, it seems like Chad has finally met his match with the equally crazy Lace. The two of them get drunk, make out in the hot tub and engage in lots of slap fighting while the rest of the cast looks on with exaggerated incredulity. "It's like they enjoy hitting each other…" the onlookers say, as if they've never heard of such a thing.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly when the situation turns, but it turns, and suddenly Lace doesn't want Chad to continually call her a bitch anymore. (Women, am I right?) Chad has gone from a little drunk to full-on slurring his words in the span of like nine seconds.
"You're being really disrespectful right now," Sarah points out, and Chad's like, yeah, well, you have one arm. It's a declaration met with stunned silence, and like a family torn apart by divorce, the children are helpless and skulk off to bed. Meanwhile, a very drunk Chad stumbles around on the beach until he falls face down into the sand and we watch a crab claw away at his hair.
Longtime host of the show Chris Harrison shows up in the morning to assess the damage, and it's not looking good for Chad. Far from being repentant, Chad is unfazed by his behavior, which makes the unraveling of his face all the more heartbreaking when Chris Harrison tells him that he's crossed the line and has to leave the show.
"Are you serious?" Chad says with pitiful sincerity, and then, "Fuck you, Chris Harrison." It's a moment I would have found genuinely shocking if they hadn't previewed it 100 times beforehand.
All along, Chad has been ridiculing the other cast members for their lame attempts at seeking fame, but now we see the pot call the kettle black. "Now I'll never be the bachelor!" Chad says. And then he adds, "I have nothing else in my life." How quickly he forgets his Ferrari and Maltese!
Episode one ends with the dreaded TO BE CONTINUED, after which we're treated to a montage of what looks like Chad's drunken revenge, but I don't know, we've been bamboozled by these Chad-on-a-rampage cliffhangers before…
What will happen next? Nobody knows! Tune in next week for a recap of Monday and Tuesday night's episodes, where all will be revealed.

Where to Look for Biotech BargainsThe Life Sciences Report Follow |
Every business day, Edison Investment Research Analyst Pooya Hemami scours the global markets for life science companies with upside flowing through their product pipelines. In this interview with The Life Sciences Report, Dr. Hemami tells us where to look for biotech bargains, including a few top-fliers and a handful of companies that have experienced temporary setbacks but are poised for blue sky.
The Life Sciences Report: The stocks of many solid small biotech firms traveled a rocky road during the first half of 2014. Is now a good time for investors to return to the life sciences?
Pooya Hemami: The biotech sector tends to follow the movements of the stock market as a whole, with a bit more volatility. Investors should be mindful that the 2013 returns were very strong for life sciences. If the broad markets take a pause, the life sciences sector will follow, with a higher beta. Corrections in the broader equity markets tend to disproportionately affect biotech and development-stage firms.
Life science investors need to carefully select individual securities: Perhaps more than in any other sector, individual security selection is key. Making a nonspecific investment in a biotech fund, or in an exchange-traded fund, will not necessarily provide a strong return. Investors should focus on finding well-funded companies with strong assets and intellectual property in their targeted areas, preferably in areas that already enjoy a lot of investor interest. These types of companies are more likely to withstand temporary market gyrations, and to deliver long-term value. Right now could also be a good time for those biotechs that have had a good run over the past year and a half to raise capital to strengthen their cash war chests, by the way.
TLSR: What types of life science products are most in demand right now?
PH: The hottest spaces are orphan drugs and immunotherapies for cancer. In orphan drugs, we cover BELLUS Health Inc. ($BLU:CA) ($BLUSF). Investors like BELLUS' prospects for Kiacta, which is under development for treating AA amyloidosis, which can lead to kidney failure, dialysis and death. That orphan drug is in a Phase 3 trial, with top-line data expected in 2016. Data from an earlier Phase 3 trial showed some promise. The current study has a larger patient base with more statistical power. It is more likely to reach the threshold of developing a positive outcome; investors are showing optimism for this program.
In immunotherapy, we follow a Canadian company called Trillium Therapeutics Inc. ($TR:CA), which was previously called Stem Cell Therapeutics. In late 2013, Trillium raised more than $30 million ($30M), which is very impressive for a preclinical company. It is developing a novel immunotherapy approach for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and potentially for other cancers. The product is called SIRPaFc. Trillium has funding in place for completing the Phase 1 studies, which should start in the back half of 2015.
TLSR: How does Trillium's drug work?
PH: Certain cancer cells have a high expression of CD47, a protein that sends a "do not eat signal" to inhibit macrophage phagocytosis (the eating of cancer cells by the immune system). SIRPaFc is an antibody-like fusion protein. It tends to bind to CD47 and block the "do not eat" signal. This increases the immune reaction via an increase in macrophage attacks on tumor cells.
Trillium is meeting later this year with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the design of the SIRPaFc Phase 1 study. With cancers, one does not always know in advance if the accepted study will be a solid tumor trial or a hematology trial. Trillium's lead focus right now is on hematology, but the accepted indication in the coming Phase 1 trial will be determined in the FDA's investigational new drug process.
Trillium also has to finalize exactly which molecule it will be working on. There are a couple of variants on the lead compound, SIRPaFc. One variant might work better with combination therapy, another form may be more suited for individual cancer therapy.
TLSR: How is Trillium Therapeutics' stock performing?
PH: Without much news flow of late, the stock has been range-bound between $0.20–0.35/share. It will take a couple of years for Trillium get through the Phase 1 trial, and complete a Phase 2. It generally takes at least six years for such a pre-investigational new drug (IND)-stage cancer candidate to reach commercialization. Trillium is well positioned to complete the Phase 1 study. It will need additional capital to move into Phase 2 and additional studies. There could be a partnership along the way.
TLSR: What do you like in the chemotherapy arena?
PH: We are watching CytRx Corp. ($CYTR). It has an interesting cancer product, aldoxorubicin, in Phase 3 trials as a second-line therapy for soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The data read-out is expected in 2016.
TLSR: How is the CytRx Corp. stock performing?
PH: Late last year some good data came out of a Phase 2b trial underway for aldoxorubicin as a first-line therapy for STS, which caused the stock to jump up to about $7/share. More recently, CytRx Corp. has pulled back a bit. The stock is where it was late last year, at about $2.50/share. The company has enough cash to reach the end of the Phase 3 study. As the visibility of the Phase 3 program increases, so will investor interest.
TLSR: Who else has promising products in the pipeline?
PH: We follow Can-Fite Biopharma ($CANF), which is an Israel-based company. Its CF101 product is an oral drug that targets the A3 adenosine receptor prevalent in autoimmune diseases. Mainly, CF101 will treat psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Data on the current Phase 2/3 study in psoriasis are expected in 2015. Can-Fite has completed a rheumatoid Phase 2 study for the drug as well. The key near-term driver is the psoriasis results.
One of the encouraging things about this molecule is its safety profile. Safety data on this molecule is promising as it has been studied in 1,200 patients with low severe adverse events. Because the CF101 product is an oral drug with an acceptable safety profile, it will probably be targeted as a therapy for less severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, which is still a very large market. A lot of the current oral drugs on the market, such as Xeljanz (tofacitinib citrate; Pfizer), and legacy drugs such as methotrexate, have adverse side effects. The biologics have similarly negative side effects. If Can-Fite's product can show decent efficacy, while maintaining the reasonable safety profile shown thus far, it is positioned to do well.
TLSR: Anything catalyzing the mental health product space?
PH: We are constructive on Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. ($ALXA). Its Adasuve product was approved in 2012, and was launched earlier this year by Alexza's U.S. partner, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ($TEVA). Adasuve treats agitation associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In July 2013, the product was launched in the major European markets by Grupo Ferrer Internacional S.A. (private). It is now being readied for a Latin American debut.
TSLR: Is Adasuve a technological advance?
PH: The legacy standard of care for psychotic agitation is based on injection. Needle injections act quickly, but that method of delivery is disruptive. Sharp objects alter the trust relationship between physician and patient. Oral anti-agitation drugs, like Zyprexa (olanzapine) or Abilify (aripiprazole), work, but they take a long time to take effect. The patient might pace for an hour before the oral drug can reach proper levels in the bloodstream. The delay can be dangerous to staff and other patients, and clearly, it makes patient management more complicated, especially in an emergency ward.
TLSR: How does Adasuve work?
PH: Adasuve is a rapid inhaler delivery mechanism for the generic antipsychotic drug loxapine. The patented Adasuve delivery platform is quite rapid. Its "Tmax," or time to maximum concentration, is only two minutes. That is as fast as the intravenous drugs, and even quicker than intramuscular injections, but the mode of administration is much more patient-friendly. Adasuve calms the patient down quickly; it reduces risks to staff, patient, and property.
TLSR: How well has Adasuve been selling?
PH: The product launched at a fair price. The U.S. cost is around $140 per dose; in Europe it sells for about €70/dose. Adasuve is a good high-value driver, even though its sales to date have been a little slower than what the market had hoped. Alexza Pharmaceuticals' Q2/14 results reported peaks and valleys in shipping inventory to its partners. The market interpreted the undersupply of product negatively; the stock is now under $2.50/share, down from close to $5/share in July.
The sharpness of the correction is undeserved, however. Alexza has a good balance sheet. It can fund its own operations for at least another year, even without including the revenue from Adasuve sales. This drug could peak at $400M in annual sales during the next 5–6 years. Alexza also has a couple of other products in the pipeline. It remains a value proposition for investors.
TLSR: Can you quantify any risk involved?
PH: There is always a bit of a risk. If sales are slower to reach peak sales than expected, Alexza will probably need to raise more capital at a less-than-ideal stock price. We assess that the firm is likely to have good sales growth, which will likely prompt investors to respond positively.
TLSR: Are you watching any other undervalued companies?
PH: iCo Therapeutics ($ICO:CA) had an unsuccessful Phase 2 with iCo-007 in diabetic macular edema earlier this year. That has caused investor angst. The company is now trading below cash value. But its pipeline includes an oral formulation of an established antifungal, amphotericin B, for possible application in long-term HIV therapy. iCo Therapeutics also has the rights to bertilimumab, which is an antibody for anti-immune applications, specifically for ocular indications such as vernal keratoconjunctivitis.
In short, investors may want to take a second look at iCo Therapeutics. Once we do get more clarity on the firm's development strategy following the iCo-007 miss, there is likely to be more investor interest. It takes time for disappointments to settle, but iCo Therapeutics is funded for at least another year, which gives it time to exploit the latent value residing in its pipeline.
TSLR: Any other bargains?
PH: We watch Theratechnologies ($THER). The company has rights to Egrifta (tesamorelin for injection), the only U.S.-approved growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It regained full U.S. commercialization rights from EMD Serono, a division of Merck KGaA ($MKGAY), in May 2014. It was having a few issues keeping the drug on its manufacturing track, but Theratechnologies resolved those issues and resumed shipping in September. There will be a lot of potential to increase the U.S. sales once stakeholders regain confidence in the supply chain.
We also like GLG Life Tech ($GLG:CA), which is not specifically a biotech company. It markets stevia leaf, which is used as a natural food sweetener. The company had a challenging 2011 and 2012, but it has entered turnaround territory. Investors are becoming more interested in natural foods, and lower calorie consumption trends are emerging in different markets in the U.S. and abroad. A company that can produce a healthy product at an economical price can benefit from the wellness mania expanding worldwide.
TLSR: Thank you for your time.

Kendrick Lamar BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher: I'm the Master, Drake is a Phony!
Kendrick Lamar and Drake were the story at the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards, which aired Tuesday night, and not only because they won five awards each.
In a two-minute verse, part of a full-length Top Dawg Entertainment Crew freestyle rap "cypher" recorded for the show, the former asserted his dominance again.

The Condom Co-op is a program of the Northern AIDS Connection Society to enhance and improve the accessability of free condoms in the northern region (Colchester-East Hants, Cumberland and Pictou Counties). NACS purchases condoms in bulk and sells them at cost to partnering agencies. Various agencies have their own account and work together with Northern AIDS in the free and accessible distribution of condoms and dental dams.
Partnering agencies taking advantage of this great opportunity are –
John Howard Restorative Justice for Youth
Nova Scotia Community College – Truro Campus
Slate Rock Youth
Central Nova Women's Centre
Other agencies who offer access to condoms in northern Nova Scotia:
Dalhousie Agricultural College Health Services
Colchester Sexual Assault Centre
School Teen Health Centres throughout northern Nova Scotia
Pictou County Centre for Sexual Health
Public Health Offices in northern Nova Scotia
The concept of a condom co-op was developed due the lack of availability of free condoms for youth. One way NACS encourages partners to get involved is to form a walk team for the Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life where each team receives 50% back…this money can be then used to purchase condoms at cost through the program. NACS supports healthy decision making and heathy communities.
