Cancer rivalries intensify

from the Philadelphia Business Journal (HT to yyy60 on the IV MB):

>>Cancer rivalries intensify

Fox Chase Cancer Center raised the bar in the increasingly competitive cancer-care arena this week with the opening of its $14 million radiation therapy center in Buckingham in Bucks County.

...

The Buckingham center will have all of the same technology found at the main campus, plus something the Philadelphia site doesn’t have: a CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system.

“The CyberKnife allows for a more precise treatment of tumors,” said Hayes, director of Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham. “It delivers a higher dose of radiation to a smaller area, and it provides real-time imaging of a tumor while it is being treated so you adjust the treatment to the motion of the tumor. Tumors do move during treatment.”

An Opera Singer Breathes Anew

from toddkrieger.com. HT to yyy60 on the IV MB:

>>What is remarkable, notable and other-worldly about this performance, aside from it happening to fall on her birthday, is that Ms. Cao’s vocal pyrotechnics were made possible due to her being treated by Dr. David Larson using a technique called the cyberknife, something that is so impossibly sci-fi as to not be believed. But, the point being that between the two of these doctors they saved this woman’s vocal chords.

Tier 1 Research - Equinix espansion in Chicago

Hat off to Tier 1 Research:

>>By Staff, March 12, 2009

Firm may add space at data center

Equinix Inc., which operates data storage facilities, may lease another 20,000 square feet at the Lakeside Technology Center, 350 E. Cermak Rd., according to a recent report from Tier1Research.com. Foster City, Calif.-based Equinix delivered exceptional results in 2008, CEO Steve Smith said in a release, “creating a strong platform for growth in 2009.” The space became available, Tier1Research.com says, after Denver-based high speed internet provider Qwest Communications International Inc. vacated one floor last year in the 1.13-million-square-foot facility, which is owned by San Francisco-based Digital Realty Trust Inc. Equinix did not return a call. Digital Realty declined to confirm that Equinix is considering taking more space.

Internap Sr. Vice President of Operations and Support

Tim Sullivan is off the Internap Leadership Team page, and Mr. Orchard is the new entry:

>>Steven Orchard

Sr. Vice President of Operations and Support

Steve Orchard leads the company's operations and customer support programs. In his role, he is responsible for the operations of the Internap IP Network, the Network Operations Center, Core Systems and Security, as well as all customer support.

Mr. Orchard has significant experience in network technology and design, data center operations, and customer support. His team is responsible for network and data center operations, product delivery and enhancing the company's strong service reputation. Since arriving at Internap in 1999 he has held a variety of roles with increasing responsibility including Network Engineer, Director of Network Operations and Vice President of Operations.

Prior to Internap, he held Systems positions with Codesic, Inc. In Kirkland, WA and Oasis Systems, in Bellevue, WA. Mr. Orchard holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oregon in Eugene.

CTO Sullivan departs Internap as new CEO Cooney continues to retool

from Tier1 Research daily newsletter:

>>CTO Sullivan departs Internap as new CEO Cooney continues to retool

T1R sometimes envisions new Internap Network Services CEO Eric Cooney as an auto mechanic, with the company up on a hydraulic lift – he's rebuilding Internap's engine, one bit at a time. Over the past few years, Internap has had made a number of questionable human resource choices – losing .....

Internap Axes CTO Position

Rob Powell, at Telecom Rumblings, has an interesting comment on Internap:

>>Internap Axes CTO Position

Of course, Eric Cooney just took over as the new CEO in March, and since then it apparently hasn’t been a fun place to work. The company laid off 10% of its workforce in April, including its cloud computing team, a bunch of systems engineers, and a wide array of middle management. Last month, it was their VP of engineering Steve Kiene who left the company, and now their CTO is leaving abruptly.

The company has been having trouble settling on a new path. Its core IP transit business remains weak, it doesn’t have the funds to build datacenter space indefinitely, and its CDN business remains in the industry penalty box. Perhaps the next move for Cooney is simply to sell the company - he wouldn’t much need a CTO if that were the case.

Equinix further expansion in Chicago

Today, Equinix (EQIX) announced its intention to further expand at 350 E. Cermak in Chicago, with a new offering (IBX shared suite) specifically targeted at the Financial Trading Companies in need for space in close proximity to its existing Financial eXchange (downtown CH1 and CH2 data centers).

The space has been leased from Digital Realty Trust (DLR):

>>Equinix Signs New Turn-Key Datacenter(SM) Lease Agreement With Digital Realty Trust

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR - News), the world's largest wholesale datacenter provider, has completed a new Turn-Key Datacenter(SM) lease agreement with Equinix (Nasdaq: EQIX - News), a provider of global data center services. Through this agreement, Equinix will expand its presence in Digital Realty Trust's 350 E. Cermak property.

"The Downtown Chicago market is one of our fastest growing markets in the U.S., driven by financial trading companies seeking low-latency proximity trading solutions," said Pete Ferris, Equinix's President, United States. "This agreement helps us quickly meet the growing demand from our customers in Chicago."

The lease has a fixed term of 12 years, with renewal options. Equinix will invest about $ 10 million to "Equinize" the space to its quality standards.

Most probably, this is part of the property that Qwest terminated recently - the following comments are taken from the 4Q 2008 Digital Trust conference call (Seeking Alpha transcripts):

• These items consist primarily of the remaining $4 million from the net termination fee of $11.9 million from Qwest at our 350 East Cermak property

• Bill Stein (CFO)
  
• Yes, that’s what Qwest was, the termination fee.
• Jordan Sadler – KeyBanc Capital Markets
• Right. Any prospects on backfilling that space?
• Michael Foust (CEO)
• Yes, I mean we’ve signed one pod customer and we’ve got prospects that we are negotiating with for virtually all the space.
• Jordan Sadler – KeyBanc Capital Markets
• So, leased by year-end safely?
• Michael Foust
• Yes.
• Jordan Sadler – KeyBanc Capital Markets
• Okay.
• Bill Stein
• Signed.
• Michael Foust
• Yes, we expect to have signed leases for the floor by the end of the year.

Within the same P/R, Equinix also announced the opening of the expansion of its existing CH2 data center, ahead of schedule, so adding another 200 cabinets in downtown Chicago:

>>The company also opened the previously announced expansion of its Chicago 2 (CH2) International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center.

With this additional capacity, Equinix is leasing about 27% of the space available in the Lakeside Technology Center.

Let's have a look at the characteristics of this new offering for the Company:

>>The IBX Shared Suite offering will provide additional customer colocation space in close proximity to the ecosystem of companies participating in Equinix’s metro area IBX centers. These smaller centers will feature Equinix’s standard product offering for cabinets, power, cross connects, and SmartHands service. IBX Shared Suites will be configured as shared space versus the independent cages that Equinix offers in its traditional IBX centers.

Current Equinix Financial eXchange participants in Chicago include the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), Deutsche Borse, NYSE SFTI and Trading Technologies.

With 37 percent year-over-year revenue growth, Chicago is one of Equinix’s fastest growing markets

Given the relatively small space leased (19.400 sq.ft.), the number of cabinet equivalents achievable (600) is extremely high (as comparison, CH2 will reach about 1,350 cabinets, with the recent addition just opened, within a 120,000 sq.ft. data center).

This is the second expansion announced by the Company after issuing $373.75 million of convertible subordinated notes due 2016. The first one was in Zurich:

Image guidance quality assurance of a G4 CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system

Title: Image guidance quality assurance of a G4 CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system

Authors: Pantelis, E.; Petrokokkinos, L.; Antypas, C.

Abstract

The image guidance of a CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system was quality controlled, including the overall performance of the target locating subsystem and the performance of the x-ray generators and flat panel digital cameras subcomponents. Accuracy and precision of the kV and exposure time settings of the x-ray generators, linearity of the x-ray output, spatial resolution and geometrical distortion of the acquired x-ray images were measured. Total accuracy and precision of the target locating subsystem in defining the position of an anthropomorphic head and neck phantom placed on treatment couch was also measured. Accuracy and precision of the kV as well as exposure time settings and linearity of the x-ray output were found within the acceptance limits suggested in diagnostic radiology. The acquired x-ray images were found to depict the shapes of the imaging objects without any geometrical distortion, being able to resolve differences in the features of imaging objects with critical frequency of 1.3 lp/mm and 1.5 lp/mm for camera A and B, respectively. Total target locating system accuracy was found within 0.2 mm and 0.2° in translations and rotations, respectively. Corresponding precision was found lower than 0.5%. These findings render the target locating subsystem of the CyberKnife capable of accurately registering the patient to treatment position and monitoring patient's movement during treatment delivery.
