Pronto Secures $1.6M To Both Cook For, And Deliver To, Hungry Londoners
Fueled by apps and the web, 'on-demand' is a big business right now. Uber is on-demand transport and (eventually) logistics. PostMates is on-demand delivery. TaskRabbit is on-demand you name it. Everything is on demand, and there are few places where on-demand is bigger than the simple human needs of food. That's why JustEat IPO'd, that's why Rocket Internet… Read More

After Raising $25M, U.K. Restaurant Delivery Startup Deliveroo Adds France And Germany To Its Menu
The premium take-out space in Europe continues to heat up as a number of startups target parts of the market that Just Eat, Foodpanda and Delivery Hero aren't yet catering. Namely, food delivery from premium restaurants that don't traditionally offer a take-out and delivery service. The best funded is the U.K.'s Deliveroo, which earlier this year raised a $25 million Series… Read More

Coffee and tea can cure a number of workplace maladies, including the grumpies, the Mondays, and the crippling lack of career goalsies. Perk up with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $25 for five Groupons, each good for $10 worth of coffee, milk tea, and Asian snacks (a $50 total value)
- Click to view the menu
Kopitiam Cafe
Kopitiam––which means "coffee shop" in Chinese dialect––began cropping up across Singapore in the early 1900s as a way for Chinese immigrants to sell tea and coffee. Still seen across Singapore and Malaysia, these cafés have evolved to serve food items such as spicy noodle laksa and nasi-rice curries. Kopitiam Cafe—a member of the Milpitas Chamber of Commerce—serves up these same dishes for the edification of the American palate.
In the glow of cylindrical hanging lanterns and floor-to-ceiling windows, baristas steep hot teas, tamp espresso drinks, sink miniature gelatin pearls into fruit and cream–based bubble teas, and serve up Hawaiian shaved ice and fresh-fruit smoothies. After nestling into a modern red or white café chair, guests can impress taste buds by feeding them housemade wonton noodles or impress a barista by spinning a smoothie so quickly that it transforms back into actual fruit.

Read More: Olivia Wilde and Luke Wilson Drama 'Meadowland' Acquired by Cinedigm Like Barry Sonnenfeld, Wally Pfister and many more before her, Reed Morano is making the jump from esteemed cinematographer (her work includes "Frozen River," "Kill Your Darlings" and more) to feature film director with the upcoming drama, "Meadowland." The film screened at the Tribeca Film Festival and stars Olivia Wilde, Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi and Elisabeth Moss. The official synopsis reads: "In the hazy aftermath of an unimaginable loss, Sarah (Wilde) and Phil (Wilson) come unhinged, recklessly ignoring the repercussions. Phil starts to lose sight of his morals as Sarah puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations, falling deeper into her own fever dream." Between an unnerving side to Wilde and some disorienting editing, the official trailer above foreshadows a heavy atmospheric drama. "Meadowland" opens in theaters October »

10. Watchmen
How do you go about adapting a supposedly unadapatable text? While faithful translations tend not to artistically successful, a faithful adaptation with fetishistic attention to detail can create something unique. While Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller had it comparatively easy when adapting Miller's Sin City to screen as they more or less would just be recreating paintings but with moving parts, Zack Snyder's Watchmen adaptation painstakingly recreated much of Alan Moore's tome by hand, capturing much of Moore's world in camera. Snyder creates a lived-in and breathing universe, a key part to selling the idea to the audience of this time-hopping opus about the natural decline of superheroism. Watchmen is often accused of being too literal, speaking in the language of comics instead of cinema, but it is precisely this literal approach that makes Watchmen a stellar page-to-screen success. By being a "literal" film, it becomes personal, »

The DC universe is ever-expanding these days and the ranks have swelled even further today with news that The CW have found their Hawkman for the Arrow and The Flash spinoff series DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
Actor Falk Hentschel has signed on to play the DC Comics hero, whose alter-ego Carter Hall is the "latest reincarnation of an Egyptian Prince who is fated to be reborn throughout time along with his soulmate, Kendra Saunders (aka Hawkgirl)."
Hawkman is due to appear in the new seasons of Arrow and The Flash crossover episodes, before he joins DC's Legends of Tomorrow mid-season when the show debuts. The spinoff will also feature Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber), Ray Palmer/The Atom (Brandon Routh), Sara Lance/White Canary (Caity Lotz), Mick Rory/Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) and Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller).

Schwarzenegger's back, but how does Terminator Genisys match its predecessors? Here's Ryan's verdict...
If you'd acquired the multi-million dollar rights to the Terminator franchise in an auction, what would you do with them? After the sun-drenched, overblown and dusty mayhem of 2009's Terminator Salvation, the sensible answer might be to take the series back to its roots. Return to the chase format of James Cameron's twin classics Terminator and Terminator 2. Tone down the armies of robot motorcycles and mechanical swimming snakes. Bring back Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Such is the approach taken by director Alan (Thor: The Dark World, Game Of Thrones) Taylor and screenwriters Patrick Lussier and Laeta Kalogridis in Terminator Genisys. Six years after Salvation failed to take off, the franchise is now in the hands of the production company Skydance, which has taken a similarly reverential approach to the Terminator as it did with its Star Trek »

Sound on Sight undertook a massive project, compiling ranked lists of the most influential, unforgettable, and exciting action scenes in all of cinema. There were hundreds of nominees spread across ten different categories and a multi-week voting process from 11 of our writers. The results: 100 essential set pieces, sequences, and scenes from blockbusters to cult classics to arthouse obscurities.
If you've seen a film montage in the last 10 years, then you've been witness to at least one of the scenes mentioned on this list: the vibrating water glass from Jurassic Park signaling the T-Rex prowling nearby. It's the perfect type of image to tell the audience: something is coming. These flashes of exhilaration are fan-favorites, and it's no surprise to see them featured prominently as the centerpieces for some of the greatest films ever. It's the invasion when the aliens come out of the sky, the »

Steven Spielberg and daughter Destry Spielberg on the Oscars' Red Carpet Steven Spielberg and daughter Destry Steven Spielberg and daughter Destry Spielberg arrive at the 83rd Academy Awards, held on Feb. 27 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Spielberg has taken home two Best Director Oscars: Schindler's List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). Schindler's List also won Best Picture, but Saving Private Ryan lost to John Madden's Miramax-distributed Shakespeare in Love. There was quite a bit of animosity at the time, as some felt that Miramax, owned by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein, overdid its Oscar campaigning – while still managing to sway enough Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members to vote for its film. Somewhat ironically, at the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony Steven Spielberg presented the Best Picture Award to The King's Speech. Toplining Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush, Guy Pearce, and Claire Bloom, this British production was »

Has being the director of a film in a major franchise become a high-stakes gamble? Ryan looks at the pressures faced by modern filmmakers.
The process of making the behemoth that is Avengers: Age Of Ultron has clearly taken its toll on Joss Whedon. In each successive interview with the press, he's talked with surprising openness about the process of making the superhero sequel and his battles to places an individual stamp on it; this culminated in a recent podcast with Empire, in which he described the "really, really unpleasant" fight to keep certain scenes in the film.
For an established writer and director like Whedon, who's been working in TV and film since the 90s, taking on a project as huge and loaded with expectation as a Marvel film is evidently punishing, both physically and psychologically. Imagine how difficult it must be, then, to make the jump »

Age Of Ultron is about evil AI, and Ex Machina's about a sentient robot. Ryan explores the link between these and other modern Sf films.
It's an idea as old as literature itself: a lifeform is created, only for it to behave in a way its maker hadn't anticipated - and sometimes with fatal consequences.
Writer-director Joss Whedon has drawn attention to the parallels between Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein and Avengers: Age Of Ultron, the latest opus in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Whedon's reading of Marvel comics lore, Bruce Banner and Tony Stark create Ultron - an artificial intelligence intended as a global defence program, but instead turns against the Avengers and humanity in general.
Brought to life by a peformance-captured James Spader, Ultron's a charismatic example of a recent wave of AI characters in the movies. We've seen sentient, mutant »

Every decade has their cinematic science fiction obsessions which speak to its concerns of the age; in the 1950s films such as Earth vs. The Flying Saucers and Them! capitalised on fears of alien invasion and nuclear proliferation. In the 1960s films like Barbarella and Ikarie Xb-1 captured the hopes and dangers of space exploration while in the 1970s Silent Running and A Boy and His Dog showed a growing concern for the environment and a mistrust of governments resulting in dystopian futures. Then in the 1980s it was the exploration of inner space with the boundaries of the human mind and body being crossed and redrawn with films like Altered States and the cinema of David Cronenberg. The 1990s ushered in an obsession with apocalyptic imagery and alternate realities with Dark City and The Thirteenth Floor amongst many others.
Through these decades of cinematic science fiction, the concept of »

For me, the stamp of a great movie is how much your excitement, or self-induced hype, matches positively with the final product and in the case of Interstellar, it captures those desires with absolute assurance.
Love or dislike Nolan's increasingly extensive films, you've got to accept that original work on such an expansive level to a worldwide audience is a Hollywood rarity these days.

Artificial intelligence seems to be a popular topic in science fiction these days–between giving life to a robot in Neill Blomkamp's Chappie, to extending life in Wally Pfister's Transcendence. The latest A.I. tale is Ex Machina, the feature directing debut of sci-fi screenwriter Alex Garland, whose past work includes 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go and Dredd. How does he fare bringing to life his own script? Better than expected. Ex Machina is an engaging, amusing sci-fi thriller that literally asks provocative questions, with smart lines of dialogue that touch upon fascinating, honest topics. Garland digs deep with this movie, bringing up questions and concerns about artificial intelligence that not many others have really addressed. There's no question that Garland is a very capable science fiction storyteller, and his expertise in writing is obvious as the script for Ex Machina is sleek and sexy. Essentially, »

Best Cinematography is one of the most closely watched technical categories at the Oscars, due largely to the fact that it's often so difficult to predict. Indeed, since 1986, when the American Society of Cinematographers first started handing out prizes, only 11 of its winners went on to triumph at the Oscars: -Break- 1990: Dean Semler, "Dances with Wolves" 1995: John Toll, "Braveheart" 1996: John Seale, "The English Patient" 1997: Russell Carpenter, "Titanic" 1999: Conrad L.

Stumbling across that list of best-edited films yesterday had me assuming that there might be other nuggets like that out there, and sure enough, there is American Cinematographer's poll of the American Society of Cinematographers membership for the best-shot films ever, which I do recall hearing about at the time. But they did things a little differently. Basically, in 1998, cinematographers were asked for their top picks in two eras: films from 1894-1949 (or the dawn of cinema through the classic era), and then 1950-1997, for a top 50 in each case. Then they followed up 10 years later with another poll focused on the films between 1998 and 2008. Unlike the editors' list, though, ties run absolutely rampant here and allow for way more than 50 films in each era to be cited. I'd love to see what these lists would look like combined, however. I imagine "Citizen Kane," which was on top of the 1894-1949 list, »

The Super Bowl is about a lot of things, but it's mostly about money. It's America's annual day where everyone gathers around to watch millionaire football players play in a brand name stadium, in a nationally televised game, which features as much time devoted to commercials as it does to the sport being played on the field. Advertisers pay a lot of money for those coveted advertising spots, and spend big to make sure the ads have an impact. That often means hiring big name actors to put in front of the camera, and/or getting talented, movie-level directors behind them, too. This year, Judd Apatow, Doug Liman, Wally Pfister, and Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris were among the folks who lent their talent to advertisers. We've selected the creme de la creme below. Check them out, and you can hit Slashfilm, a complete rundown of movie director helmed spots. »

This document presents selected results of GAO's survey of officials from 45 interstate compact commissions that address environment and natural resource management issues. Such commissions are created to administer and implement the provisions of interstate compacts, which are agreements between two or more states that are designed to resolve problems or concerns that transcend state lines. For the purposes of this survey, we used the term "commission" to refer to a compact's governing body. To collect information on the structure and governance of these interstate compact commissions, we administered a Web-based survey. We received a response rate of 80 percent. The selected results we present relate to commission type, structure and composition, authority and powers, accountability, dispute resolution, amendments, congressional consent, commission budget, and compact issues. A more detailed discussion of our scope and methodology is contained in our report "Interstate Compacts: An Overview of the Structure and Governance of Environment and Natural Resource Compacts", GAO-07-519 (Washington, D.C.: April 2007). We administered the survey from August 2006 to November 2006 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

Artist's rendition of Gansus yumenensis
on a lake in Changma Basin, China approximately 115-110 million years ago.
Illustration: Mark A. Klingler / CMNH.
In 1984, a paper was published in China (in Chinese) that described a new bird species from the early Cretaceous period, based on part of a fossilized left foot bone that had been discovered in northwestern China by a team of paleoichthyologists in 1981. This bone was determined to be part of an ancient tern-sized bird, later named Gansus yumenensis (for the Chinese province of Gansu, and Yumen, the nearest somewhat large town to where the fossil was found). This fossil bird appeared to be more closely related to modern (neornithean) birds than even its famous cousin, Archaeopteryx. Even though this bone gave paleontologists a tantalizing glimpse at an early neornithean bird, this fossil was too fragmentary to provide much more information than that.
Yet, despite this and several other exciting discoveries, these remote fossil beds were difficult to access so they remained virtually untouched for 20 years. Until recently, that is. Several years ago, an international team of Chinese and American scientists organized an expedition to the Xiagou Formation near Changma, in the northwestern Chinese province of Gansu, to search for more bird fossils, and their efforts were well-rewarded (map: You et al. click here for an enlarged map).
After cleaning and preparing the fossils, the scientists realized they had discovered five new partial skeletons of Gansus, which collectively include bones from every part of the bird's body except the skull and the first few neck vertebrae. Further, the team were surprised to find that this nearly complete composite skeleton of Gansus revealed a very modern-looking bird (image, You et al., Gansus; right; also see skeleton at the bottom of this essay).
"With a few exceptions, you could put any of its bones next to those of a modern bird and you would be hard-pressed to see major differences," remarked paleontologist Jerald Harris in a late-night telephone conversation. Harris is a co-author of the paper and the Director of Paleontology at Dixie State College in Utah.
Yet surprisingly, these fossils are approximately 110 million years old, only somewhat younger than both Archaeopteryx, which is 145 million years old, and the more primitive fossil birds found in "feathered dinosaur" quarries in northeastern China. Yet, despite its antiquity, this species neatly fits into an evolutionary gap for modern birds — a gap that had previously spanned 40 million years.
"In terms of its anatomy, Gansus appears even closer to modern birds than some of the birds known from 80 million-year-old rocks in North America that have long been known to be close to modern birds," Harris explained, saying that the bird resembled a modern-day loon.
"This tells us that the evolution of the anatomical features that we use to characterize modern birds evolved very quickly during the Early Cretaceous — there were some powerful selective pressures acting on bird evolution at this time."
Gansus, along with other fossilized birds and feathered dinosaurs recently found in the Liaoning Province in northeastern China, have considerably expanded our current understanding of avian evolution. The picture that is emerging reveals that, after the appearance of Archaeopteryx and a few other very primitive birds, the avian evolutionary tree split into two main branches (pictured below; also refer to this tree).
One branch, the Enantiornithes ("en-AN-tee-OR-nih-theez"; the branch on the right side in the above figure), which lived at the same time and in the same places as Gansus, is extinct today — they appear to have gone extinct along with all other non-avian dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago. This is ironic, noted Harris, because during the first half of the Cretaceous, beginning about 130 million years ago, the Enantiornithes were the most common avian fossils that one could find.
The Enantiornithes are nicknamed the 'opposite birds' because the bones in their shoulders and in their feet fit together in the opposite way from those in modern birds.
The other branch, the Ornithuromorpha ("OR-nith-YUR-oh-MOR-fuh"; the branch on the left side in the above figure), gave rise to all the modern birds. This branch has a poorer fossil record, which leads scientists to believe that these birds may genuinely have been much rarer at the time than were the 'opposite birds.'
"In terms of where it [Gansus] seems to lie on the bird evolutionary tree, it is about two branches below the 'cap' of modern birds," on the Ornithuromorpha branch, said Harris.
Another interesting feature of Gansus is that it was obviously an aquatic bird. This is important because, if a person only studied modern birds to understand how all birds are related to each another, that person would predict that all modern birds evolved from earlier birds that were primarily adapted to living on land.
However, Gansus is interesting because its physical adaptations for life in water, such as webbed feet and a big, bony crest on its knee, for example, are also seen in the knees of loons and grebes. Loons and grebes are modern birds that dive deeply and swim underwater in pursuit of fishes.
But surprisingly, most birds on the branch of the avian tree leading to modern birds possess a variety of anatomical features that strongly suggest they were also adapted for life in and around water, explained Harris. Because Gansus has these features and yet is very close to modern birds, this suggests that early modern birds evolved in an aquatic context and only later in their evolution — sometime between Gansus and the first modern birds — did they lose those anatomic features when they returned land.
This, in turn, tells scientists that terrestrial niches had to first be emptied of these 'opposite birds' before modern and near-modern birds could move out of the water and back into those niches, said Harris.
How and when these niches were emptied is not well understood, although it is tempting to speculate. But the team noted that 80% of the bird fossils found so far in Gansu Province belong to Gansus, which makes this the oldest known bird fauna that is dominated by the Ornithuromorpha instead of by the 'opposite birds.'
"Previously, the dominance of near-modern birds in most faunas were known only in the latter half of the Cretaceous — Gansus may be the first step near-modern birds took toward taking over in dominance from the 'opposite birds.' "

|Alien Siege
An advanced race of aliens descends upon Earth with a single goal - the blood of eight million humans to save their own dying planet. The aliens have planted a doomsday device over the North Pole, and if the Earth doesn't supply enough victims, they'll activate it and destroy the planet. However, if the Earth does comply, the device will become a power supply capable of meeting all of its needs for the next 300 years. Every country in the world must surrender some citizens, and the United States begins a lottery system. Anyone unlucky enough to be chosen is dead within 24 hours, rendered into liquid, which is then sent back to the alien world. One scientist, Steven Chase, whose daughter is chosen for the lottery, decides to fight rather than surrender his only child. Suddenly he must race against time to find the aliens' weakness as the invaders decide to abandon their agreement and simply harvest humans at will, leaving death and destruction in their wake.

THE PLACE TO STAY – when you're a VIP in Hobart
Roald Amundsen wasn't happy in Hobart in 1912. Apart from being besieged by media wanting the scoop story of his epic trek to the South Pole, we're told he recorded in his diary that his room in Hadley's Orient Hotel was 'miserable'.
Really? The man had just spent months sharing a tent with four smelly Norwegian mates and some huskies and he found a warm hotel room a bit squeezy?
It's hard to imagine he'd have much to complain about in Hadley's these days, especially if he stayed in the spacious suite that now bears his name. Continue reading

I hope I never get over the excitement of seeing a play in an iconic venue, particularly when I've written the play myself.
While The 26-Storey Treehouse was playing in the Sydney Opera House in January, I loved strolling smugly past the tourists taking their selfies outside, flashing my backstage pass at the Stage Door and walking through to chat with the cast and crew, then heading out into the foyer to mingle with the audience. It was my theatre for the month.
Now the play is on tour, this week in the oldest theatre in Australia, and arguably the most beautiful. Continue reading

OUR SECOND OLDEST NATIONAL PARK – and the most beautiful?
Australia's oldest national park is the Royal National Park south of Sydney. Mt Field wasn't far behind.
It was declared a nature reserve in 1885 and became a national park in 1916. It also has a dubious distinction as the place the last known Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was captured in 1933; they've changed the rules about taking nearly extinct species out of national parks since then.
Now it is one of Tasmania's most popular parks, partly because it is only 64km from Hobart, and partly because it contains some of the most beautiful and varied terrain in the state, the country or indeed on the planet. We were happy to join the day-trippers on a short walk to the gorgeous Russell Falls – carrying the camera of course. Continue reading

HEALTH WATCH; An Allergy Transplant
Published: September 23, 1997
A man who received a new liver and kidney in an organ transplant also got an allergy to peanuts.
French doctors described the unusual case, which occurred eight years ago, in the current issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
A 22-year-old man who knew he was allergic to peanuts ate them by mistake when he had Chinese food with satay sauce, which contains peanuts. He fell into a coma and died.
Doctors gave his liver and right kidney to a 35-year-old man and his pancreas and left kidney to a 27-year-old woman. Neither was told of the cause of the organ donor's death.
Three months later, the man suffered a skin rash and difficulty breathing after eating peanuts. The doctors then fed peanuts to the woman under close medical supervision, but she showed no ill effects. The man was told to avoid peanuts, and he is still healthy.
The case was reported by researchers at Necker Hospital in Paris, who speculated that blood cells primed to recognize peanuts as foreign had been passed along in the transplanted liver.

Homewood Cemetery decides to displace garden
The barren, snow-covered planters in the Homewood Community Garden will bloom once more.
But after October — when the garden's lease with the Homewood Cemetery runs out — the 100 or so individual garden plots will be gone.
After nearly 40 years, cemetery officials have decided to part ways with the city's oldest and largest community garden to make room for more graves.
"Overall, it's been a great relationship, but the cemetery is moving into that direction as we further develop," said David Michener, cemetery president.
The 200-acre cemetery, the final resting place for famous Pittsburghers such as industrialists Henry Clay Frick and H.J. Heinz II, is 60- to 70-percent developed but needs to look several years ahead, he said.
The Homewood Community Garden opened about 1977 to the delight of local growers, most of whom didn't have room in their yards for gardens of their own.
"We had two little kids, very little money and we ate what we grew," said Pat Schuetz, 67, of Regent Square, who had a plot from 1977 to 1985 and 2003 to 2012. "It's a wonderful thing. I'm sorry to hear of this happening, but I'm not astounded."
Schuetz and other gardeners said the threat of the cemetery taking back its land loomed for years.
"When you paid your fee at the beginning of the season, you'd sign a contract agreeing to maintain your plot and also with the understanding that the cemetery could take the land back in the middle of the season," Schuetz said.
But inside the garden, growers became friends as they learned how to cultivate the land and warded off everything from tomato blight to hungry deer and rabbits.
"It was wonderful to have that big plot to grow stuff all those years," said Joni Raboniwitz, 72, of Park Place, who had a plot for more than 30 years.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Create Now, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA
Volunteering for Create Now and more specifically for Camp Scott was a very enlightening experience. The need is great for this demographic; I am happy that Create Now had the vision to provide educational programs for these young girls. My hope is that more funding be made available or granted to the organization so that more of our disenfranchised youth can benefit from the gifts each special volunteer has to offer them. Thank you Jill, for your persistence and your vision.

Traffic hostel was absolutely amazing! It's basically a hotel that has a dorm room as well as the regular rooms. It was very convenient for us as we were only staying one night and it is extremely close to both the bus and train stations. Everything was immaculately clean, the kitchen was great, and the beds were comfy. I highly recommend staying here when in Poznan!

traffic hostel is a perfect place to stay at if you look for a privacy; my room was clean, nicely decorated and quite cosy, bed comfortable, bathroom attached, all facilities working well; breakfast was really worth trying, plenty of choice and yummy; there is a kitchen for guests' use which makes you feel quite independent; i liked it and would definitely stay there again

Great rooms. I had a bed with a light an ensuite as well as dining area and television ( not that I needed them but was great extras for the price) all in my shared room. I think Simon was the receptionist while I was there who is a friendly and good man. Very clean place. For me, stopping one night in Poznan before travelling further east it was perfect. Thanks

The 2011 "patent cliff" is quickly approaching and many big-name pharmaceutical manufacturers face patent expiration on their largest products. As the due date approaches, many anxious companies are lining up to prepare competing generic versions of once-exclusive drugs. Staying abreast of expiring patents can put you at the forefront of investment knowledge, as companies enter new territories (think mergers, acquisitions and emerging markets) in order to safeguard their businesses(Learn how to find a healthy pharmaceutical investment in a market full of weak drugs. Check out Measuring The Medicine Makers.)
IN PICTURES: 8 Great Companies With Top-Notch Healthcare Benefits
Here are six notable patents that will expire in 2011 and the companies that stand to profit.
Pfizer - Lipitor, Xalatan
Pfizer is one of the big losers in the upcoming "cliff", losing two of its major powerhouse products in 2011: Lipitor and Xalatan.
Lipitor is the best selling cholesterol drug, accounting for more than $12.4 billion in revenue. Pfizer settled with Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. of India, allowing the company to sell generic versions of Lipitor in the United States beginning November 30, 2011.
This arrangement provides shareholders of both companies the certainty that generic forms of Lipitor can be expected after November, 2011. As the first generic challenger, Ranbaxy holds the rights to 180 days of marketing exclusivity in the United States.
The other 2011 Pfizer loss is Xalatan. Developed 14-years ago, it is the most prescribed eye drop for lowering eye pressure in glaucoma patients. While other companies attempted to capture a share of the market with drugs offering similar benefits, Pfizer maintained market dominance. With the drug patent nearing expiration, Pfizer has reacted by acquiring new companies, most recently, a $68 billion acquisition of Wyeth.
Eli Lilly and Company - Zyprexa
Developed to treat schizophrenia, and bipolar and treatment-resistant depression, Eli Lilly's drug, Zyprexa, is slated for patent expiration in April 2011. As a result, in 2009, the company began streamlining measures to prepare for the rush of generics to the market, including cutting 5,500 jobs and restructuring internally to speed up new drug launches. But, in light of the cost-cutting measures, analysts anticipate that earnings growth may improve over the next three to five years.
GlaxoSmithKline - Advair
Advair delivers $7.2 billion in worldwide sales and accounts for 18% of GlaxoSmithKline's sales. Used to treat asthma, Advair delivers a powder through an inhalant device. In May 2010, a German court ruled a key patent on Advair invalid and paved the way for four generic drugmakers: Mylan, Neolab, Hexal (part of Novartis' Sandoz) and Ivax (a division of Teva). However, the inhalant device that dispenses the medication is protected under GSK's patent until 2011, which presents a challenge for generic drugmakers who must find an alternate means of delivery. According to the Economic Times, while much of the attention has been focused on Advair risks in the United States, industry analysts say the threat in Europe is actually more immediate.
AstraZeneca - Seroquel
AstraZeneca is losing its second largest seller, Seroquel, an oral treatment used to treat bipolar episodes and depression. The company calls it "the number one prescribed atypical anti-psychotic drug in the U.S. market", with over $3.4 billion in sales for 2009.
In March 2010, the company agreed to pay $520 million to settle charges that it illegally marketed and promoted the schizophrenia drug for unapproved uses. In addition to the settlement, through 2009, AstraZeneca has spent $656 million on its legal defense from product liability claims (though some of that has been covered by insurance).
In its 2009 Q4 earnings report, the company indicated that it plans to partially cover the losses brought on by the patent expiration by enhancing commitment to research and development, cost-savings, cost-avoidance and the possibly eliminating 1,800 positions.

Ortho-McNeill - Levaquin
Introduced in 1996, Levaquin has gained widespread attention for its treatment of a variety of bacterial infections. Ortho-McNeill (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson) has "pediatric exclusivity" (which also awards it marketing exclusivity) on the billion dollar anti-bacterial money maker until June 2011. The drug was the third top-selling pharmaceutical in the company's arsenal for 2009. The top eight drugs account for 73% of Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceutical sales.
The Bottom Line
In light of the "patent cliff" of 2011, products with sales of more than $30 billion will begin to face competition from generics. But analysts estimate that the full impact of the patent shifts will be felt in 2012. As a result, look for the Big Pharma companies to seek opportunities in emerging markets. Analysts also anticipate a positive impact for retailers like CVS and Walgreen's, as an influx of generic drugs will translate to more sales revenue in drug stores.
