VolitionRx to use Innova Biosciences’ Biotin Technology in its Epigenetic Research Kits

Leave a comment

In-licensing deal between VolitionRx and UK-based Innova Biosciences helps drive development of novel cancer diagnostics

Oxford, UK, July 24, 2013 – VolitionRx Limited (OTC: VNRX), a life sciences company focused on the development of blood-based diagnostic tests, has signed a non-exclusive in-licensing agreement with Innova Biosciences, a specialist provider of bioconjugation systems, based in Cambridge, UK. Under the agreement, Innova Biosciences will supply its Lightning-Link® Biotin technology for Volition’s NuQ® epigenetic profiling research kits. The addition of the Lightning-Link technology will help Volition to improve the accuracy of its test, whilst speeding up production of the research kits.

Volition will use Lightning-Link® for biotinylation of antibodies employed in its range of NuQ® ELISA kits available to researchers working in the fields of epigenetics and nucleosome research. Volition is also employing the Lightning-Link technology for development of Nucleosomics®-based clinical tests, including its first blood-based diagnostic test for colorectal cancer. The high yield and enhanced specificity offered by the Lightning-Link® system coupled with simplicity of use provide a significant advantage in the manufacture of Volition’s research and clinical assays.

Cancer diagnosis often requires a series of time consuming tests, with a diagnosis sometimes being made days after specimen removal. This in-licensing deal will assist the company in their development and manufacture of novel, easy to use diagnostic kits.

Dr Jake Micallef, CSO of VolitionRx, says: “We’ve been really impressed with Innova’s products. Their biotin kit is simple to use and proved more durable than many competitors’ kits, and we’ve seen significant improvements in reproducibility since we started to use them regularly. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with the Lightning-Link technology.”

Dr Andy Lane, Executive Director at Innova Biosciences, said, “This deal is another perfect example of how Lightning-Link® is increasingly being used by innovative diagnostic companies like VolitionRx to both maximise R&D output and to simplify the manufacturing process.”

The Green Garage shopping mall loyalty program promotes incentives for informed customers to support businesses that protect the environment and reduce the risks of global warming,” said Jody Tallal, CEO of Very Important Relationships, Inc.

Reno, Nevada, July 22, 2013 – Managers of the Find Green Garage public verification program today announced a new round of grant funding to provide vehicle service and repair shop owners and their customers with cash back rewards for going green.

“Inspired by ‘show me the CARFAX’ commercials, the Green Garage shopping mall and public loyalty program is designed to promote incentives for informed customers to support businesses that protect the environment and reduce the risks of global warming,” said Jody Tallal, CEO of Very Important Relationships, Inc.

Shop owners registered in the ENERGY STAR Green Garage Challenge can now sign up to receive Cash Back for managing their Green sustainability on a continuous basis. Participants in the program will earn from 3 to 10 percent for purchasing green products, minimizing waste, and reducing their energy usage.

“Cash Back rewards are available to shops that achieve a 10% carbon footprint reduction,” stated Steven Schillinger, Administrator of the Green Garage Challenge. According to Schillinger, “most general automotive business activities defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) under codes NAICS 811111 and NAICS 811198 are qualified to receive the offer.”

Qualified shop owners are encouraged to display their Green credentials and services on an ENERGY STAR rated ConstantConsole.com digital menu board funded under various Utility Company rebate programs.

Many Utility Company rebate programs incorporate the energy equity conversion concept similar to FHA’s reverse mortgage program to enable small business owners to use the energy asset value of their business operation to fund the cost of purchasing green products and equipment.

New SEC Regulations after Knight Capital at High-frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 in New York

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 23, 2013) — According to SearchCompliance, the speed and complexity of software designed for high-frequency stock trading propelled Knight Capital Group’s success in recent years, but those same properties drove the firm to the brink of bankruptcy. When New York Stock Exchange trading opened the morning of Aug. 1, 2012, a technology breakdown in Knight Capital’s newly installed trading software caused a deluge of erroneous stock orders that severely disrupted the market. The new software had been deployed the day before, the company said, and it took about half an hour to halt the erroneous orders once the problem was discovered.

After Knight Capital Group lost $440 million in about 45 minutes of trading that day, regulators redoubled efforts to limit stock exchange damages inflicted by faulty technology. Specifically, they launched a review of the testing and control requirements needed to prevent highly complicated and interconnected IT systems from causing market upheaval when errors occur.

Lessons to be after the Knight Capital incident are at the heart of the keynote speech Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street, will give to attendees at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), July 30th, part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), published in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Investasi Super Kilat: Pandangan Orang dalam tentang Fenomena Baru Frekuensi Tinggi yang Mentransformasi Dunia Investasi, published in Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012).

Perez is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai) and was Adjunct Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, where he taught Algorithmic Trading and High-Frequency Finance. He contributes to The New York Times and China’s International Finance News and Sina Finance.

Perez has been engaged to present at the Council on Foreign Relations, Vadym Hetman Kyiv National Economic University (Kiev), Quant Investment & HFT Summit APAC 2012 (Shanghai), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Washington DC), CFA Singapore, Hong Kong Securities Institute, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, University of International Business and Economics (Beijing), Hult International Business School (London and Shanghai) and Pace University (New York), among other public and private institutions. In addition, Perez has spoken at a number of global conferences, including Emerging Markets Investments Summit 2013 (Warsaw), CME Group’s Global Financial Leadership Conference 2012 (Naples Beach), Harvard Business School’s Venture Capital & Private Equity Conference (Boston), High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum (New York, Chicago, London), MIT Sloan Investment Management Conference (Cambridge), Institutional Investor’s Global Growth Markets Forum (London), Technical Analysis Society (Singapore), TradeTech Asia (Singapore), FIXGlobal Face2Face (Seoul) and Private Equity Convention Russia, CIS & Eurasia (London).

Perez was a vice president at Citigroup, a senior consultant at IBM, and a strategy consultant at McKinsey & Co. in New York City. Perez has an undergraduate degree from Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Lima, Peru (1994), a Master of Administration from Universidad ESAN, Lima, Peru (1997) and a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School, New York, with a dual major in Finance and Management (2002). He belongs to the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society. Perez resides in the New York City area and is an accomplished salsa and hustle dancer.

Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will examine the speed trading industry from various angles, in an opened and unbiased environment highly conducive to networking. Topics to be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will include:

How High Is High-Frequency Trading at World’s Most Influential HFT Conference in New York City

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 23, 2013) — According PBS Newshour’s Simone Pathe, high-frequency trading represents more than half of all transactions of American stocks these days. How fast is high-frequency? So fast, it turns out, that data companies now provide financial data to their most premium subscribers early — as little as two milliseconds early in the case of a $20,000-per-month service the Nasdaq and Chicago Mercantile Exchange debuted in May using microwave networks. That time difference is enough to gain quite the financial advantage.

One key data provider, Thomson Reuters, announced it was suspending its 9:54:58 a.m. release of the University of Michigan’s consumer confidence data to about a dozen premium subscribers (not to be confused with those regular money management customers who pay to receive the data at 9:55 a.m., a measly five minutes before the University of Michigan posts the consumer confidence index online) while New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman investigates the practice.

Thomson Reuters maintains that their 9:54:58 a.m. release, for which some clients pay more than $6,000 a month, does not violate federal insider trading laws since they disclose the tiered pricing to all customers.

So how and why do traders capitalize on those all-important two seconds? The answers will be debated at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), July 30th, part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

Rosendin Electric Receives Top 2013 National and Regional Safety Honors from The Associated General Contractors of America

Leave a comment

Outstanding Safety Practices Garners Rosendin Electric National AGC/Willis Construction Safety Excellence Award and Regional Safety Awards in Oregon and California.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (July 22, 2013) — Rosendin Electric, the nation’s largest private electrical contractor and an employee-owned company, has received top honors in safety from the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America, including the National 2013 AGC/Willis Construction Safety Excellence Award and regional safety awards for the Oregon and California offices.

Rosendin Electric was awarded the First Place National 2013 AGC/Willis Construction Safety Excellence Award, Specialty Division, for contractors with more than one million hours worked. The Award was created to recognize companies that have developed outstanding safety and loss prevention programs through a combination of management commitment, employee involvement, and program innovation.

Rosendin Electric received this award for its safety record and company-wide safety culture that empowers every employee to promote on-the-job safety. For example, the company issues “Stop Work” cards that can be used by any employee to promote safety on the job site. A “no-knife” policy has also been established, requiring all employees, office and field, to use only safe tools to minimize accidents. Furthermore, Rosendin Electric requires every Apprentice to maintain a safety portfolio, so Journeymen can track their equipment and procedures training. Safety is also a key part of Rosendin Electric project planning, and all field safety personnel are equipped with tablet computers so they have access to safety performance data and can identify potentially high-risk procedures.

In addition to the National Award, the AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter has recognized Rosendin Electric’s Hillsboro, Oregon, office with a Recognition of Safety Excellence (ROSE) Award in the Specialty Division, more than one million man hours worked. The ROSE Award is presented by AGC area contractors to recognize their peers for best safety practices. Rosendin Electric was singled out for its passion and commitment to safety, and the empowerment given to employees when it comes to addressing safety issues.

Rosendin Electric also received a 2012 Safety Award of Excellence in the Specialty Division category for contractors with more than one million worker hours from the California AGC Chapter. This marks the seventh year in a row that Rosendin Electric has received recognition from the AGC California Chapter for its safety record.

“Every Rosendin Electric employee understands that safety is part of their job responsibility,” said Marty Rouse, Vice President of Safety for Rosendin Electric. “We have always prided ourselves on maintaining a corporate culture centered on safety. The fact that we have garnered three AGC awards in a single year, including the top award for safety in the Specialty Division, is a welcome acknowledgement of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe workplace.”

California Artist Mary Karlton Debuts Two New Collections at Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History

Leave a comment

The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH) is exhibiting the work of fine artist and Santa Cruz resident Mary Karlton at the Octagon Café.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (July 22, 2013) — The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH) is exhibiting the work of fine artist and Santa Cruz resident Mary Karlton at the Octagon Café. Opening on July 23 and running through September 22, the show will feature two series from Ms. Karlton’s extensive body of work: the “Pomegranate Series” and the “Anduze Series,” which celebrate human diversity and individuality. The public is invited to meet the artist at the opening night event on Friday, August 2, from 5 pm to 8 pm at the Octagon Café at the MAH. This coincides with the Santa Cruz First Friday Art Walk.

The bright and vibrant Pomegranate Series portraits depict individuals from all walks of life and diverse ethnic backgrounds. The first painting in the Pomegranate Series, “How Are You, M’ Lord?” received first prize in the Madera County Arts Pomegranate Festival in 2012. This painting is an homage to the late Frank Snell of Santa Cruz, medical professional in the US Army who served in Vietnam, professor at Cabrillo College and Hartnell College, world traveler, and benefactor. The pomegranate held special significance to Mr. Snell, as he had hoped to publish a book about his life experiences which he planned to call “The Pomegranate.” The project was cut short by his untimely death.

In the Anduze Series, Ms. Karlton explores the lively and fascinating characters encountered during a recent trip to the South of France and Paris. In this collection, Ms. Karlton brings together mixed media and bold contemporary design inspired by street art and the Cubist style of Picasso to capture the rich personality of each figure.

Fine art giclée prints on canvas of all works from the two collections will be available for purchase.

About Mary Karlton
Mary Karlton studied painting and printmaking in Chicago, San Francisco, and Santa Fe. Her style is eclectic with highly textured works that combine elements of collage, photography, and abstraction. She is captivated by the versatility and expressive potential of acrylic media. Her heroes in the art world are multifaceted and innovative – DaVinci, Lautrec, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali, Magritte, Klimt, Kandinsky, Schiele, DeKoonig, and Richter. Her award-winning work has been included in a wide array of exhibitions in Northern and Southern California, including various books, galleries, and wine labels.

Ms. Karlton lives in the scenic coastal town of Santa Cruz, CA with her husband, musician and photographer Peter Sterbach. To learn more about Mary Karlton or to view her online gallery, please visit http://www.marykarlton.com.

The Sins of SAC Capital’s Steven Cohen at Tech2Trade Expo 2013’s HFT Conference in New York City

Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 22, 2013) — According to The Wall Street Journal, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently filed a civil-enforcement action against SAC Capital Advisors LP chief Steven A. Cohen, alleging he ignored “red flags” that should have alerted him to insider trading “under his watch.” The SEC said Mr. Cohen “failed to take reasonable steps to investigate and prevent” insider trading at the Stamford, Conn., hedge-fund firm.

The move is the first time regulators in the investigation have brought an action against Mr. Cohen personally. His firm, one of the most successful on Wall Street over the past two decades, has in recent years been the subject of a long-running investigation into insider-trading that has resulted in criminal charges against a number of traders and others with ties to SAC. But, while trading involving Mr. Cohen has been cited in government documents related to those cases, he hasn’t been criminally charged in those matters or any other.

According to the SEC’s order, Mr. Martoma and Mr. Steinberg obtained material nonpublic information about publicly traded companies in 2008, and they traded on that information. The government charged Mr. Martoma with insider trading last year and charged Mr. Steinberg earlier this year. Messrs. Martoma and Steinberg have pleaded not guilty. Mr. Steinberg’s lawyer has said he did nothing wrong. Mr. Martoma’s lawyer has said the case against him is based on innuendo. The SEC alleges Mr. Cohen ignored “highly suspicious information” that should have prompted “any reasonable hedge fund manager” to investigate.

To further elaborate on SEC enforcement issues in the world’s most highly sophisticated market structure, Robert Cohen, Assistant Director of Market Abuse Unit, Division of Enforcement, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will keynote High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

Cohen joined the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004. He has been involved in significant enforcement actions involving investment advisers and companies, insider trading, market manipulation, public company accounting and financial disclosure violations.
