The creation of pure, stable cell lines is not easy. Nature magazine estimates there are around 20 human cell lines world wide. Each line originates from a cell taken from the inside of a one- to five-day embryo. Smeaton said BresaGen's supply of embryos come from an in-vitro fertilization clinic. He said the company only uses embryos that would have been discarded by the clinic.

The deployment of these IP-DSLAM lines highlights a shift for China from ATM-based to IP-based DSLAM networks and a movement from narrowband to broadband, a major trend in China's wireline market. According to BDA, a leading Chinese industry research group, total broadband users in China have more than doubled in 2003, from five million to nearly 12 million users. In addition, the number of IP-DSLAM lines as a percentage of total DSLAM lines deployed in 2003 was approximately 15 percent, a significant increase from 2002. UTStarcom expects this percentage to increase to nearly 50 percent in 2004.
With the help of this study, underwriters and actuaries can quantify systemic or parameter risk -- the major component of underwriting volatility for large books of business -- for more than 20 major lines of insurance. Using the Aon Re Global Insurance Risk Study in combination with existing industry and proprietary severity curves, premium volumes and limit and attachment profiles, Aon Re and company actuaries can assess the volatility of their business using the same metrics as catastrophe models. Understanding systemic risk factors helps companies measure their total portfolio underwriting risk -- a key component of calibrating Solvency II and enterprise risk management analyses.
"Today more than 2 million of our U.S. subscriber lines have full E911 capability, which is a tremendous step for Vonage," said Vonage CEO Mike Snyder. "Vonage will continue to work with the FCC, regulators, Congress and public safety officials until PSAPs across the nation are equipped with E911."

The study ... looks at the relationship between specific lines of insurance and the underwriting cycle. Researchers found that volatility for most lines is substantially increased by the pricing cycle. Market cycle driven loss ratio correlation between lines increases risk by up to 50 percent and reduces the normal benefits of underwriting diversification.
