Last year National Venture Capital Association President Mark Heesen predicted that the coming financial crisis would make or break many small developers. The strong would survive, and the weak would not have what it took to raise cash during the credit crunch. Below is that unfortunate bunch; 16 notable companies that didn't have the money, expertise or programs to live to see another day.

TGen seeks emergency FDA approval of new swine flu test

[Source: TGen] - The Phoenix-based non-profit Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) announced today that, along with a business collaborator, it will submit a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use of a new test to diagnose the 2009 H1N1 swine flu virus.

Details about TGen’s test will be presented Sunday (Nov. 1) at the 47th annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), being held today through Sunday (Oct. 29-Nov. 1) in Philadelphia.

The new test, developed at TGen’s Pathogen Genomics Division (TGen North) in Flagstaff, can not only detect influenza — as some tests do now — but also can quickly inform doctors about what strain of flu it is and whether or not it may be resistant to oseltamivir (sold under the brand name Tamiflu®; Roche), the primary anti-viral drug on the market to treat H1N1.

to vaccinate or not to vaccinate....

this question has me somewhat perplexed. The H1N1 vaccine has been made available and I now have the opportunity to take it if I so desire.

But do I really need it? I don't even remember the last time I had any strain of influenza. And then there is the question of whether or not the vaccine is safe.

Follow this link to the CDC H1N1 vaccination recommendations

There are others who doubt the safety of the Vaccine

No One Told Me So Solid Were Back.........

Perhaps because I am miles away from London, but So Solid just released this new track entitled Not Since You Went Away. Not really a fan of the song, but Lisa Maffia cleaned up nicely since her days on the Estate.

The Night before All Hallow's Eve

Ive actually decided to escape the Phoenix metropolitan area madness and go to a big house party in a town called Maricopa.

However there is lots going on tonight as can guess. If all else fails, feel free to check out the

Pre Halloween BlackOut Party @ Afterlife

My good friend DJ Amie will also be there tearing it up on the wheels of solid steel.

I am running late as usual and so must depart. Have a safe night and be careful; lots of drunk drivers out tonight apparently.
