SHOJO MANGA AND ANIME--BIG BUSINESS IN JAPAN
Rapidly Growing in North America
Posted by ICv2 on August 5, 2001 @ 11:00 pm CT
While it is true that as in the United States, boys' comics outsell girls' comics in Japan, comics aimed at girls (or shojo manga) represent up to 30% of the huge Japanese market for comics that dwarfs comic publishing efforts here in the States. Shojo manga (and anime) is truly big business in Japan. Shojo titles embrace a wide variety of genres including fantasy, historical romance, adventure, contemporary romance, suspense, humor, science fiction, and even horror, all unified by one key element -- the central 'viewpoint' character is female. Gone are the days when shojo manga could be identified by stylistic characteristics alone -- large round eyes, each with its own galaxy of stars, affixed to slender, elongated figures as wispy as the lines that created them -- though those flourishes remain in many titles. Shojo manga today embraces many genres and yet gains a kind of unity based on a narrative concentration on relationships and psychological characterization. Shojo manga titles also spawned numerous anime versions, which have greatly enhanced the appeal of the genre both in Japan and abroad where anime titles like Sailor Moon have been the standard bearers for the entire shojo genre.
Ribon no Kishi (Princess Knight)
Like so many categories of anime and manga, modern, shojo manga can trace its roots to Osamu Tezuka, who began serializing Ribon no Kishi (Princess Knight) in Shojo Club magazine in 1953. Though the first generation of shojo creators were overwhelmingly male, female creators quickly took over to such an extent that by the1980s male creators would typically adopt a female pseudonym when working on shojo projects, a practice that continues to some degree to this day, though not all artists do it. Kia Asamiya, for example, published Corrector Yui under his own name. Still most of the top contemporary shojo creators are female including Naoka Takeuchi (Sailor Moon), Yu Watase (Fushigi Yugi, Ceres), Clamp (Magic Knight Rayearth), Mejumi Tachikawa (Saint Tail), to name just a few. While female creators have not reached the prominence in anime that they have in manga, it is the faithful anime adaptations of Sailor Moon, Ceres, Saint Tail and other shojo titles that brought these works to the attention of fans from around the world.
Shojo manga magazines sell over a million copies a month in Japan, but many American retailers don't realize that shojo manga is the fastest growing segment of the translated manga market here in the U.S. Viz's shojo anthology Animerica Extra has been growing in circulation each month for over a year. With Animerica Extra and Tokyopop's Smile, the American market is graced with two Japanese-style comic anthology magazines devoted to shojo manga. Thus the segment of the U.S. market that most closely approximates the way manga is done in Japan is shojo manga, and perhaps that is why it is growing so quickly. Aided by the exposure of many different types of manga in the anthology magazines, the number of shojo subgenres available in the States is about to explode as Tokyopop (see 'Tokyopop Plans Major..') introduces Planet Ladder, a shojo science fiction title, Paradise Kiss, an example of a more 'mature' and sexy shojo title aimed at older teens and young women, and Mars, not a science fiction comic at all, rather an example of the large group of shojo titles that closely examine relationships among high school kids.
There has been a corresponding growth in the number of shojo anime titles available here in the U.S. as well, and the key property behind the growth in both shojo anime and manga in the U.S is Sailor Moon. It was Sailor Moon's presence on American television screens that gave shojo manga a beachhead in the U.S. pop culture landscape. Sailor Moon videos, comics, and toys have been selling well to a primarily male clientele in pop culture shops here in the U.S. for the past seven years. But the tremendous sales of Sailor Moon trades in chains like Hot Topic and Animerica Extra in Musicland demonstrate that independent pop culture retailers are not even beginning to capture the potential market for this category. The growth in the number of shojo manga and anime titles that will be available in the U.S. over the next few months represent a real opportunity for retailers to expand their store's product mix to include a section devoted to shojo titles or to at least prominently display shojo anime and manga titles in the appropriate sections of their stores. Over the next few weeks ICv2 will be taking an in-depth look at this impressive new wave of shojo product, while trying not to neglect the best of the trade paperback and DVD backlist titles. We will also be talking to successful retailers about selling to women in general, and selling shojo titles in particular. Here in the States, as in Japan, shojo manga and anime titles do sell to male customers, but the key to maximizing the potential of these products is to be able to sell these titles to the audience they are aimed at -- females.

Why Should Your Child Study Statistics?
In 2009, Google's chief economist Hal Varian told The New York Times, "I keep saying that the sexy job in the next 10 years will be statisticians. And I'm not kidding." Interest in the field has only increased since Varian's remarks as word has spread about the field's good pay and abundance of interesting and meaningful opportunities. In fact, Fortune magazine recently reported that statistics is the fastest-growing STEM degree. Yet the field continues to be a fairly well-kept secret, despite its perks, making jobs in statistics more plentiful than the number of skilled people who can do them.
So why should your child study statistics? Put simply, to pursue a career that's fun but also provides a good return on your education investment.
Salaries in statistics are high and job growth is strong.
Which Sectors Employ Statisticians?
A Better Question Is Which Sectors Don't Employ Them.
There's a good chance your child can apply statistics in whatever field he or she is interested in, from making smarter software to developing safer drugs. Here is a snapshot of select places where statisticians work and what they do.
Pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Eli Lilly employ statisticians to help them develop new drugs that are safe and effective. They often work on teams with doctors and research scientists to design and execute experiments and clinical trials. They also work for agencies that regulate drugs, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Statisticians can find many opportunities to work with animals. Many collaborate with other scientists to find ways to protect endangered species and increase their populations, for example. Such statisticians might work for a large zoo, a research institute like the National Science Foundation or a nonprofit organization like the World Wildlife Fund.
To combat diseases like breast cancer and HIV/AIDS, scientists must understand how prevalent such conditions are among various populations and why. Statisticians perform this work for a variety of public health organizations and government agencies, including the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
From Apple to Oracle and Google to Microsoft, statisticians work at a variety of technology companies to advance the computing industry, from ensuring reliability of hardware components to improving the quality of speech recognition and image analysis software applications.
Why are some plants more resistant to disease than others? What is the impact of pesticides on crop production and the environment? Statisticians work with teams of experts to answer questions like these at organizations such as Archer Daniels Midland, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Texas A&M AgriLife Research.
Statisticians are critical to helping companies understand consumer tastes and preferences so products can be more effectively marketed. They gather and analyze data that helps guide the marketing strategies of global brands like Coca-Cola and multinational consumer products companies like P&G.
Public Policy and Government
Humanitarian aid and development organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation conduct studies led by statisticians and other experts that influence decisions about where and how aid is allocated to places afflicted by poverty, disease, conflict or stagnant growth.
The work of statisticians at government agencies like the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Labor can lead to a wide variety of policy changes, from easing college tuition costs to enacting legislation to increase the minimum wage.
Economy and Society
Statisticians at agencies like the U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Justice Statistics gather and analyze data about the U.S. population and economy that impact policy decisions such as how to draw up legislative districts, lower prisoner recidivism rates, and allocate federal funds to state and local governments for services related to education, health care and transportation.

43A.17 SALARY LIMITS, RATES, RANGES AND EXCEPTIONS.
Subdivision 1.Salary limits.
As used in subdivisions 1 to 9, "salary" means hourly, monthly, or annual rate of pay including any lump-sum payments and cost-of-living adjustment increases but excluding payments due to overtime worked, shift or equipment differentials, work out of class as required by collective bargaining agreements or plans established under section 43A.18, and back pay on reallocation or other payments related to the hours or conditions under which work is performed rather than to the salary range or rate to which a class is assigned. For presidents of state universities, "salary" does not include a housing allowance provided through a compensation plan approved under section 43A.18, subdivision 3a.
The salary, as established in section 15A.0815, of the head of a state agency in the executive branch is the upper limit on the salaries of individual employees in the agency. However, if an agency head is assigned a salary that is lower than the current salary of another agency employee, the employee retains the salary, but may not receive an increase in salary as long as the salary is above that of the agency head. The commissioner may grant exemptions from these upper limits as provided in subdivisions 3 and 4.
Subd. 2.General compensation.
For classes or positions covered under the provisions of section 43A.18, subdivision 1, the commissioner shall negotiate compensation. For classes or positions covered under the provisions of section 43A.18, subdivisions 2 and 3, the commissioner shall establish compensation. Employees covered under section 43A.18 shall receive salary at the appropriate single rate or within the limits of the salary range to which their class is assigned or their position compared except for any lump-sum payments including cost of living lump-sum payments. The commissioner may grant further exemptions from this subdivision as provided in subdivisions 3, 5, 6, and 7.
Subd. 3.Unusual employment situations.
(a) Upon the request of the appointing authority, and when the commissioner determines that changes in employment situations create difficulties in attracting or retaining employees, the commissioner may approve an unusual employment situation increase to advance an employee within the compensation plan.
(b) If the commissioner determines that a position requires special expertise necessitating a higher salary to attract or retain qualified persons, the commissioner may grant an exemption not to exceed 120 percent of the salary of the head of the agency or the maximum rate established for the position, whichever is less.
(c) The following conditions apply to a request under paragraph (a) to advance an employee within a compensation plan or under paragraph (b) to exceed the salary of the agency head:
(1) the appointing authority making the request must submit a detailed written statement for each position contained in the request, specifying the changes in employment situations that create difficulties in attracting or retaining an employee for the position;
(2) the commissioner shall review each proposal giving due consideration to salary rates paid to other employees in the same class and agency and, if other conditions in this paragraph are met, may approve any request that in the commissioner's judgment is in the best interest of the state;
(3) the action must be consistent with applicable provisions of collective bargaining agreements or plans adopted under section 43A.18;
(4) each increase or exemption must be separately documented for each employee or position and may not be applied to groups of employees; and
(5) the commissioner shall report the granting of a request to the chair of the Legislative Coordinating Commission within three working days.
Subd. 4.Exceptions.
(a) The commissioner may without regard to subdivision 1 establish special salary rates and plans of compensation designed to attract and retain exceptionally qualified doctors of medicine and doctors of dental surgery. These rates and plans shall be included in the commissioner's plan. In establishing salary rates and eligibility for nomination for payment at special rates, the commissioner shall consider the standards of eligibility established by national medical specialty boards where appropriate. The incumbents assigned to these special ranges shall be excluded from the collective bargaining process.
(b) The commissioner may without regard to subdivision 1, but subject to collective bargaining agreements or compensation plans, establish special salary rates designed to attract and retain exceptionally qualified employees in the following positions:
(1) information systems staff;
(2) actuaries in the Departments of Health, Human Services, and Commerce; and
(3) epidemiologists in the Department of Health.
Subd. 5.Salary on demotion; special cases.
The commissioner may, upon request of an appointing authority, approve payment of an employee with permanent status at a salary rate above the maximum of the class to which the employee is demoted. The commissioner shall take such action as required by collective bargaining agreements or plans pursuant to section 43A.18. If the action is justified by the employee's long or outstanding service, exceptional or technical qualifications, age, health, or substantial changes in work assignment beyond the control of the employee, the commissioner may approve a rate up to and including the employee's salary immediately prior to demotion. Thereafter, so long as the employee remains in the same position, the employee shall not be eligible to receive any increase in salary until the employee's salary is within the range of the class to which the employee's position is allocated unless such increases are specifically provided in collective bargaining agreements or plans pursuant to section 43A.18.
Subd. 6.Salary on transfer.
The commissioner may authorize an employee transferring between two classes established as equivalent for purposes of transfer to retain a rate of compensation above the maximum of the range of the class to which the employee is transferring. The commissioner shall take such action as required by a collective bargaining agreement or plans pursuant to section 43A.18. Thereafter, so long as the employee remains in the same class, the employee shall receive an increase in salary only as provided pursuant to applicable collective bargaining agreements or plans pursuant to section 43A.18, until the employee's salary is within the range of the class to which the position is allocated.
Subd. 7.Injured on duty pay.
Notwithstanding section 176.021, subdivision 5, the commissioner may provide for injured on duty pay through collective bargaining agreements or plans pursuant to section 43A.18.
Subd. 8. Accumulated vacation leave.
The commissioner shall not agree to a collective bargaining agreement or recommend a compensation plan pursuant to section 43A.18, subdivisions 1, 2, 3, and 4, nor shall an arbitrator issue an award under sections 179A.01 to 179A.25, if the compensation plan, agreement, or award permits an employee to convert accumulated vacation leave into cash before separation from state service.
This section does not prohibit the commissioner from negotiating a collective bargaining agreement or recommending approval of a compensation plan which: (1) permits an employee to receive payment for accumulated vacation leave upon beginning an unpaid leave of absence approved for more than one year in duration if the leave of absence is not for the purpose of accepting an unclassified position in state civil service; (2) permits an employee to receive payment for accumulated vacation leave upon layoff; or (3) permits an employee to receive payment for accumulated vacation leave if a change in employment results in the employee being ineligible to accrue further vacation leave.
Subd. 9.Political subdivision compensation limit.
(a) The salary and the value of all other forms of compensation of a person employed by a political subdivision of this state, excluding a school district, or employed under section 422A.03 may not exceed 110 percent of the salary of the governor as set under section 15A.082, except as provided in this subdivision. For purposes of this subdivision, "political subdivision of this state" includes a statutory or home rule charter city, county, town, metropolitan or regional agency, or other political subdivision, but does not include a hospital, clinic, or health maintenance organization owned by such a governmental unit.
(b) Beginning in 2006, the limit in paragraph (a) shall be adjusted annually in January. The limit shall equal the limit for the prior year increased by the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers from October of the second prior year to October of the immediately prior year.
(c) Deferred compensation and payroll allocations to purchase an individual annuity contract for an employee are included in determining the employee's salary. Other forms of compensation which shall be included to determine an employee's total compensation are all other direct and indirect items of compensation which are not specifically excluded by this subdivision. Other forms of compensation which shall not be included in a determination of an employee's total compensation for the purposes of this subdivision are:
(1) employee benefits that are also provided for the majority of all other full-time employees of the political subdivision, vacation and sick leave allowances, health and dental insurance, disability insurance, term life insurance, and pension benefits or like benefits the cost of which is borne by the employee or which is not subject to tax as income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
(2) dues paid to organizations that are of a civic, professional, educational, or governmental nature; and
(3) reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by the employee which the governing body determines to be directly related to the performance of job responsibilities, including any relocation expenses paid during the initial year of employment.
The value of other forms of compensation shall be the annual cost to the political subdivision for the provision of the compensation.
(d) The salary of a medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy occupying a position that the governing body of the political subdivision has determined requires an M.D. or D.O. degree is excluded from the limitation in this subdivision.
(e) The commissioner may increase the limitation in this subdivision for a position that the commissioner has determined requires special expertise necessitating a higher salary to attract or retain a qualified person. The commissioner shall review each proposed increase giving due consideration to salary rates paid to other persons with similar responsibilities in the state and nation. The commissioner may not increase the limitation until the commissioner has presented the proposed increase to the Legislative Coordinating Commission and received the commission's recommendation on it. The recommendation is advisory only. If the commission does not give its recommendation on a proposed increase within 30 days from its receipt of the proposal, the commission is deemed to have made no recommendation. If the commissioner grants or granted an increase under this paragraph, the new limitation shall be adjusted beginning in August 2005 and in each subsequent calendar year in January by the percentage increase equal to the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers from October of the second prior year to October of the immediately prior year.
Subd. 10.Local elected officials; certain compensation prohibited.
The compensation plan for an elected official of a statutory or home rule charter city, county, or town may not include a provision for vacation or sick leave. The salary of an official covered by this subdivision may not be diminished because of the official's absence from official duties because of vacation or sickness.
Subd. 11.Severance pay for certain employees.
(a) For purposes of this subdivision, "highly compensated employee" means an employee of the state whose estimated annual compensation is greater than 60 percent of the governor's annual salary, and who is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under chapter 179A.
(b) Severance pay for a highly compensated employee includes benefits or compensation with a quantifiable monetary value, that are provided for an employee upon termination of employment and are not part of the employee's annual wages and benefits and are not specifically excluded by this subdivision. Severance pay does not include payments for accumulated vacation, accumulated sick leave, and accumulated sick leave liquidated to cover the cost of group term insurance. Severance pay for a highly compensated employee does not include payments of periodic contributions by an employer toward premiums for group insurance policies. The severance pay for a highly compensated employee must be excluded from retirement deductions and from any calculations of retirement benefits. Severance pay for a highly compensated employee must be paid in a manner mutually agreeable to the employee and the employee's appointing authority over a period not to exceed five years from retirement or termination of employment. If a retired or terminated employee dies before all or a portion of the severance pay has been disbursed, the balance due must be paid to a named beneficiary or, lacking one, to the deceased's estate. Except as provided in paragraph (c), severance pay provided for a highly compensated employee leaving employment may not exceed an amount equivalent to six months of pay.
(c) Severance pay for a highly compensated employee may exceed an amount equivalent to six months of pay if the severance pay is part of an early retirement incentive offer approved by the state and the same early retirement incentive offer is also made available to all other employees of the appointing authority who meet generally defined criteria relative to age or length of service.

The Sorin Stockert 3T heater-cooler system, a medical device used to regulate a patient's body temperature during open heart surgery, may be to blame for life-threatening bacterial infections.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently updated a Safety Communication regarding Mycobacterium chimaera (M. chimaera) infections associated with the use of the 3T heater-cooler in U.S. patients who have undergone cardiothoracic surgeries (surgeries involving the heart, lungs, esophagus and other chest organs).
M. chimaera is a type of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) known to grow slowly, which, over time, can cause debilitating health problems and even death. The Safety Communication states the bacteria may have contaminated the devices at the manufacturing facility and were distributed worldwide.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising patients who have had open heart surgery to seek immediate medical care if they are suffering symptoms linked to infections, such as fatigue, night sweats, muscle aches, weight loss, or unexplained fever.
Keeping a patient warm or cool during cardiothoracic surgeries may help optimize medical care and improve patient outcomes. Heater-cooler devices have water tanks that provide temperature-controlled water to external heat exchangers or warming/cooling blankets through closed circuits.
Although the water in the circuits does not come into direct contact with the patient, it's possible for bacteria to grow in the water tanks of the device. Contaminated water can enter other parts of the device, or transmit bacteria through the air via the device's exhaust vent, spread into the operating room, and flow into the sterile surgical field – infecting the patient.
If you or a loved one developed a severe bacterial infection after open heart surgery, or if your loved one's infection resulted in death, you may be entitled to compensation.

Grover Norquist's stunning tax flip-flop
The high priest of starve-the-beast opens up a huge tax loophole for the GOP -- and then immediately backtracks
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2011/07/21/grover_norquist_stunning_tax_heresy/
Andrew Leonard

The Washington Post published a blockbuster scoop today that makes absolutely no sense:
With a handful of exceptions, every Republican member of Congress has signed a pledge against increasing taxes. Would allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire as scheduled in 2012 violate this vow? We posed this question to Grover Norquist, its author and enforcer, and his answer was both surprising and encouraging: No.
In other words, according to Mr. Norquist's interpretation of the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, lawmakers have the technical leeway to bring in as much as $4 trillion in new tax revenue -- the cost of extending President George W. Bush's tax cuts for another decade -- without being accused of breaking their promise. "Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase," Mr. Norquist told us. So it doesn't violate the pledge? "We wouldn't hold it that way," he said.102
That's quite a different line than the one was Norquist was slinging a year ago at this time:
Allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire at the end of this year, as the Democrats plan, will in fact result in "about a trillion-dollar tax increase on the American people over the next decade," Norquist says.
"It would be the largest tax increase in American history, and it would take every marginal tax rate and increase it. The taxes on businesses, on capital gains, would be very high."
So... "the largest tax increase in American history" "is not technically a tax increase." Jon Chait is correct to call this news "pretty strange." One way to interpret it is that the pressure coming from the business community to cut a debt ceiling deal -- even if it includes allowing the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy to expire -- is now becoming so great that even Grover Norquist is feeling the heat.
But Norquist is the high priest of the starve-the-beast church, and the Bush tax cuts are a pillar of his theology. By giving Congressional Republicans tacit permission to opt out of his pledge and cut a deal, he has committed apostasy. Truly, these are the end times.
UPDATE: Americans for Tax Reform has released a strongly worded statement declaring, in no uncertain terms that "ATR opposes all tax increases on the American people."
Any failure to extend or make permanent the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, in whole or in part, would clearly increase taxes on the American people. In addition, the failure to extend the AMT patch would increase taxes. The outlines of the plans are deliberately hazy, but it appears that both Obama's Simpson-Bowles commission proposal and the Gang-of-Six proposal dramatically increase taxes on the American people.
It is a violation of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to trade temporary tax reductions for permanent tax hikes.
If I understand that correctly, ATR is saying that while allowing a temporary tax cut to expire does not violate the pledge in and of itself, any net tax increase as a result of a debt ceiling deal would break the pledge.

Lecture: "Europe's Policies Toward Refugees: Pressures, Contradictions, and Consequences" with Elizabeth Ferris
Time: Thu Sep 5, 2019, 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Location: Elizabeth E. Nanovic Seminar Room, 1050 Jenkins Nanovic Halls (View on map )
About the Lecture
Europe's Policies Toward Refugees: Pressures, Contradictions, and Consequences
In 2015, over a million migrants and asylum-seekers arrived in Europe, leading to a crisis in the international refugee system, to soaring tensions within the European Union and to the rise of hardline anti-immigrant parties in almost all European countries. Europe now struggles to reconcile its liberal democratic values with political pressures to stem the flow of immigrants and asylum-seekers. European refugee policies are not merely debated in the halls of power in Brussels, Berlin and Rome. They have real human consequences as evidenced by the thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean Sea in the past few years. This presentation will explore the pressures, contradictions and potential consequences of European policies toward those arriving on its borders in search of safety.
Elizabeth Ferris is Research Professor with the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and an adjunct professor in the Georgetown Law School. From January-September 2016, she also served as Senior Advisor to the UN General Assembly's Summit for Refugees and Migrants in New York.
From 2006-2015, she was a Senior Fellow and co-director of the Brookings-LSE Project on Internal Displacement where she worked to support understanding and protection of internally displaced persons. Prior to joining Brookings, she spent 20 years working in the field of humanitarian assistance, most recently in Geneva, Switzerland at the World Council of Churches. She has also served as the director of the Church World Service's Immigration and Refugee Program, as research director for the Life & Peace Institute in Uppsala, Sweden and as a Fulbright professor at the Universidad Autónoma de México. Her teaching experience has included positions at Lafayette College, Miami University and Pembroke State University. She has written extensively on refugee, migration and humanitarian issues, including The Politics of Protection: The Limits of Humanitarian Action (Brookings Institution Press, 2011), Consequences of Chaos: Syria's Humanitarian Crisis and the Failure to Protect, with Kemal Kirsici (Brookings Institution Press, 2016). Her latest book, Refugees, Migration and Global Governance: Negotiating the Global Compacts, with Katharine Donato, was published by Routledge in 2019. She received her BA degree from Duke University and her MA and PhD degrees from the University of Florida.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Lunch is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The first human data from AstraZeneca and Oxford's coronavirus vaccine shows an immune response, a positive sign the shot might work
Andrew Dunn Jul. 20, 2020, 11:49 PM
Another leading coronavirus vaccine candidate was able to generate immune responses in healthy volunteers, according to results published Monday.
It's the first look at human data for AstraZeneca's vaccine candidate, which was originally developed by University of Oxford scientists.
The early data, published in The Lancet, included results of 543 vaccinated volunteers.
It's still not clear what level of immune response is needed to protect people from the virus. Larger trials are now underway to determine if the experimental shot prevents infection or disease.
Vaccine candidates developed by Pfizer and Moderna also elicited immune responses in early clinical trials published in July. There are more than 150 vaccine programs underway, and more than 20 are now in human testing.
For more stories like this, sign up here for our healthcare newsletter Dispensed.
The frontrunners in the race for a coronavirus vaccine have all cleared the first hurdle.
In early human testing, vaccine programs led by AstraZeneca,Pfizer, and Moderna were all successful in generating immune responses in healthy volunteers. Researchers described each program as generally safe and tolerable, supporting further testing for each shot.
We just got a look at promising early data on 2 coronavirus vaccines. Here's how Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca are racing to have their shots ready this fall.
AstraZeneca became the latest to release early human data,publishing Monday its first clinical results in The Lancet. The vaccine was given to 543 volunteers.
But only a few dozen people were tested for neutralising antibodies, the virus-fighting proteins that play a crucial role in the body's immune response. A month after receiving a dose of the vaccine, 32 of 35 people had these proteins.
Ten volunteers also tried a two-dose regimen that included a booster shot. All 10 people recorded neutralising antibodies, and the vaccine's leading researchers emphasised these limited results.
"We saw the strongest immune response in participants who received two doses of the vaccine, indicating that this might be a good strategy for vaccination," said Andrew Pollard, co-author of the trial.
AstraZeneca will likely prioritise the testing of a two-dose regimen in late-stage trials, company executives said on a Monday call with reporters.
The researchers reported no serious side effects from the vaccine, but 70% of the vaccinated volunteers experienced fatigue and 68% had headaches, higher rates than a control group given a meningitis vaccine. Other common side effects included muscle ache, malaise, chills, and fever.
The study was limited to young and healthy people. The median age was 35 and 91% of volunteers were white.
"There is still much work to be done before we can confirm if our vaccine will help manage the COVID-19 pandemic, but these early results hold promise," University of Oxford Professor Sara Gilbert said in a statement Monday.
How 13 top drugmakers are sprinting to develop a coronavirus vaccine or treatment that can halt this pandemic
The positive early results still don't determine if the vaccine works
It's not clear what level of immune response will protect people from the virus. Large-scale trials, enrolling tens of thousands of people, are now underway to test AstraZeneca's vaccine in the UK, South Africa, and Brazil.
AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot said the British pharma is aiming to start a 30,000-person US-based trial in late July or early August. The UK study will likely be the first trial to produce efficacy results, with Soriot estimating that trial will produce results this fall, potentially as early as September.
These final tests will determine if the vaccine can actually prevent infections or disease, comparing vaccinated volunteers against a group receiving a placebo.
Moderna is planning to start its final stage of testing on July 27, and Pfizer executives said they are also hoping to launch its pivotal study this month. Additional vaccine candidates led by Johnson & Johnson and Novavax are aiming to start these large efficacy trials this fall.
All these programs are pursuing an unprecedented timeline in vaccine development. It typically takes multiple years to craft a vaccine, test it in trials, and manufacture the shot at scale. Given the urgency of the pandemic, drugmakers have been closely working with world governments to shorten that process to a matter of months.
AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna have all said they are hoping to be ready as soon as this fall for potential emergency use of their vaccines. Their vaccines would be greatly limited in quantity, and it's unclear how much clinical data would be available to support a regulatory decision that soon.
Moderna's lead in the coronavirus vaccine race is slipping. Here's how pharma giants like Pfizer are threatening the biotech's front-runner status.
Oxford scientists developed the shot to avoid pre-existing immunity concerns
The shot was developed by University of Oxford scientists. They rigged a chimpanzee version of the common cold virus, called the adenovirus, to carry the spike protein, a critical element of the novel coronavirus. Scientists used a chimp version of the virus to avoid any concerns of pre-existing immunity to the adenovirus.
This issue flared up for another early coronavirus vaccine candidate developed by the Chinese biotech CanSino Biologics. That program used a human adenovirus, and about half of the human volunteers had pre-existing immunity to that virus. This weakened the immune response to the vaccine, according to clinical results published in May.
AstraZeneca joined in on the effort in late-April, and has supercharged its manufacturing and testing strategy. That has included inking a $US1.2 billion deal with the US government, supplying up to 400 million doses to Europe at no profit, and reaching agreements with global nonprofits to distribute its shot to low- and middle-income countries.

Klay Thompson shows why Warriors are still the Splash Brothers at their core
Sporting Green // Golden State Warriors
Ron Kroichick March 9, 2019 Updated: March 9, 2019 10:32 a.m.
Klay Thompson shows why Warriors are still the Splash...

Klay Thompson punctuated his 27-point first half Friday night with a predictably goofy, abrupt, memorable sideline interview with NBC Sports Bay Area's Kerith Burke.
"I'm dialed in, baby!" Thompson said, theatrically, to Burke's last question, "and having fun out here."
Then he walked away.
Thompson strolled back into the picture Friday night, after missing the previous two games with soreness in his right knee. That's exactly what the Warriors needed — he scored 39 points (including 9-of-11 from 3-point land) and played typically tenacious defense in a 122-105 victory over Denver.
On a team with former MVPs in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, and a defensive maestro in Draymond Green, maybe Thompson is the most indispensable player of all. He restored order after a tumultuous stretch in which the Warriors lost five of eight games and seemed in danger of losing their mojo.
They absorbed an embarrassing 128-95 loss to Boston on Tuesday night, after which head coach Steve Kerr rightly questioned his team's effort. The defeat and recent skid renewed chatter about the fragility of Golden State's powerhouse, as the Warriors chase their fourth NBA championship in five years.
What's wrong? Why can't the Warriors play defense? Could they snap back into form before the playoffs, which begin in only five short weeks?
"I have not one bit of concern in my body," Thompson said at Friday's shootaround. "We have too much experience and too much talent. As the playoffs come closer, I think everyone will see what we're made of."
This season's home stretch offers a fresh, formidable challenge to the understated tone Curry and Thompson long ago established in launching this powerhouse. They are reserved by nature, leaders by example, not prone to demonstrative outbursts (Green) or bristling at scrutiny (Durant).
The way Thompson and Curry carry themselves is important. They tend to show humility when the Warriors are rolling and patience when they're struggling — and this sends a relevant message to their teammates and fans alike.
Thompson is vital in another way: He joins Green in anchoring Golden State's hot-and-cold defense. The Warriors need Thompson smothering the opponent's best perimeter player, chasing Gary Harris and Jamal Murray as he did Friday night, scrambling to help his teammates.
That dogged energy, missing Tuesday night, returned against the Nuggets in the person of No. 11. Thompson was engaged and energetic defensively, as usual.
"He impacted the game in so many ways," said Kerr. "Obviously, he had 39 points, but it's his defense, too, chasing ball handlers over those high screens, using his length and intelligence to make guys uncomfortable."
Thompson produced one of his scorching, signature outbursts in the first half. He scored those 27 points in 19 minutes — shooting 9-for-13 from the field, including 6-for-7 on 3-pointers.
His shooting form might be textbook, but Thompson offered uncommon variety against the Nuggets. He made one stand-still, all-arms 3. Then, late in the first half, he took a pass from Curry deep in the corner and, while standing behind the basket, buried another 3 from a crazy angle.
Thompson made an impact in other ways, too. He blocked one Nikola Jokic shot, and he made a slick bounce pass to Andre Iguodala off a pick-and-roll for an emphatic, uncontested dunk.
These snapshots made perfect sense, because Thompson's absence the past two games highlighted his value to the Warriors. They are 5-11 without him the past three seasons and 10-14 in his career.
Similarly, the Warriors tend to struggle when Curry is sidelined. They are 5-6 without him this season and 43-65 in his career. His poise and personality complement Thompson's distinctive stoicism.
And there was Curry, after a quiet and sloppy first half, reappearing late in the third quarter. He drained a crazy-long 3-point shot to stretch the lead to 88-72, then celebrated with a stone-faced shimmy on his way back downcourt.
The Warriors are still the Splash Brothers, at their core.
"Steph brings a calm to the team, a sense of humor, and he brings a work ethic," Kerr said before the game. "It's really inspiring for me, day after day after day, to see Steph, Kevin and Klay getting in their (shooting) routine after practice. It's an incredible example for our younger players."
Curry and Durant justifiably command most of the headlines, but save a spot for Thompson. The Warriors, if they want to fulfill their historic ambitions, need him just as much.
