Proton Beam Therapy Sparks Hospital Arms Race
When it comes to reining in health care spending, it still seems like each hospital administrator thinks the guy at the other hospital should do it.
Hospitals are still racing to offer expensive new technology — even when it hasn't been proved to work better than cheaper approaches. Case in point: proton beam therapy, a high-tech radiation treatment for cancer.
The local government in Washington, D.C., is on the verge of approving two proton beam facilities at a total cost of $153 million. The centers would be owned by the two dominant hospital systems in the area: Johns Hopkins Medicine and MedStar Health.
Meanwhile, the Maryland Proton Treatment Center is already being built 40 miles away in downtown Baltimore.
Both Hopkins and Medstar have been pleading their cases before a local health department committee that grants hospitals the right to build new buildings and services. (Hopkins' documents are here, and MedStar's are here.)
And both health systems argue that the nearest proton therapy centers are too far away for Washington residents to use.
"We believe that this therapy is absolutely necessary, but we also think that it's appropriate to be applied to certain types of cancer with certain treatments and not everything," says Chip Davis, president of Sibley Memorial Hospital, where the Hopkins proton center would be built. The center would open in 2017 and would generate a projected $15.8 million in profits by 2019.
But not everyone agrees with Davis that more proton therapy centers are needed. "Neither [Hopkins nor MedStar] should be building," says Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former health care adviser to the Obama administration who is now at the University of Pennsylvania. "We don't have evidence that there's a need for them in terms of medical care. They're simply done to generate profits."
The higher costs of proton services ultimately trickle down to taxpayers, employers and consumers in the form of higher health insurance premiums.
"It's hard to bend the cost curve when you're spending a lot of money," says Emanuel. "These are tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in treatment for interventions that do not improve survival, improve quality of life, decrease side effects or save money."
There are already 11 proton therapy centers in the U.S., and the Maryland Proton Treatment Center in Baltimore is one of 17 more on the way.
The Baltimore facility is a giant cement-encased building the size of a football field, with a price tag of more than $200 million. It's being funded by for-profit developer Advanced Particle Therapy. At its heart sits a 90-ton piece of equipment called a cyclotron, which accelerates protons until they're whizzing around at two-thirds the speed of light.
The stream of protons is then directed at a tumor, delivering a blast of radiation. The idea is that the proton beam is so focused that only the tumor gets irradiated, protecting the surrounding tissues and minimizing side effects.
Baltimore's treatment center will be staffed by physicians from the University of Maryland. Radiation oncologist Minesh Mehta, who will direct the center, says he's hopeful that the technology could be used to treat up to a quarter of all cancers.
"At the end of the day, when I face a patient and I tell a patient I can treat you with technology that will treat less of your normal tissue with radiation you don't need versus more radiation to the tissue that should not be radiated, which would you like to choose?" Mehta says. "The vast majority of patients will choose the technology that gives less radiation to their tissues."
Studies suggest that proton therapy may be helpful for children who have brain and spinal tumors, protecting fragile developing organs that are near the cancer and preventing future developmental delays and secondary tumors. But childhood cancers are rare, and there's not much clinical evidence that proton therapy is better than standard radiation for most other cancers.
The particular proton technology used at the Maryland center, something called spot scanning, hasn't undergone any randomized clinical trials at all, Mehta acknowledges.
Nonetheless, he says the center will treat about 200 patients a day, at a cost twice that of standard radiation. The group, he suggests, includes patients with prostate, lung, abdominal and other cancers. Mehta estimates that 90 percent of the patients treated at the center will be adults, and up to 35 percent will be prostate cancer cases.
A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in December, however, found that prostate cancer patients who received proton therapy fared no better than those with standard radiation treatment, despite substantially higher costs.
"It's hard to find a lot of children with brain cancers you can treat with the device, but you can find millions of men with prostate cancer," says Amitabh Chandra, a professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. And because the centers cost so much to build and operate, a high patient volume is the only way they can afford to stay in business.
But the University of Maryland's Mehta argues the studies that show disappointing results for prostate cancer are based on flawed data and don't reflect the true value of proton therapy.
Doctors at the University of Maryland say their proton center is more than enough for all the patients living around Washington and Baltimore. They've even invited specialists from both Hopkins and MedStar to practice there.
That's unlikely to happen. A committee in Washington has recommended that both proposed centers be allowed to proceed. A final decision from the agency director is expected soon.

‘We Feel Overwhelmed’: Allston Struggles to Support Migrant Families Amid Record Influx
More than 50 Cambridge educators and residents rallied in support of the Cambridge Education Association outside of a School Committee meeting on Tuesday night, as the teachers’ union remains in a contract stalemate with the school district.
The union has been without a contract since the previous agreement expired on Aug. 31, just five days before the start of the school year. While the CEA and School Committee have met frequently since last October to negotiate a new contract, the two parties have yet to resolve all points of disagreement.
Dan Monahan — the president of the CEA – said while the School Committee has “begun to listen to us more,” negotiations are “not moving fast enough”
“The fact that we don’t have a contract now is really pushing educators harder to take more significant action,” Monahan said.
Until a new contract is agreed upon, the terms of the previous agreement will remain in effect, according to Massachusetts labor law.
Cambridge Public Schools spokesperson Sujata Wycoff declined to comment on the demonstration Tuesday and referred back to the district’s previous statement.
In an August press release, the school district reiterated its “commitment to reach an agreement on a fair contract” that values the district’s “talented and dedicated educators.”
“The School Committee looks forward to continued negotiations with the CEA,” the press release reads. “We will continue to update the community periodically as we work together toward a new contract with our union partners.”
The CEA announced Monday that it would demonstrate ahead of the School Committee meeting Tuesday evening. Additionally, the educators union plans to rally before and after the school day once per week.
Members of the union will not work outside of school hours and plan on “walking in together at the beginning of the contractual day and walking out together at the end of the contractual day,” according to a CEA press release.
Randi Campbell, an English teacher at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, said the reality of teachers’ extended hours “needs to be shared”.
“I don’t know a single teacher who does not take work home with them or do work when they should be spending time with their family,” Campbell said. “I think that the only way that you really get people to see that is to have teachers stand up and share that experience.”
“I go home and I’m doing work at home, and I’m prepping, and I’m grading,” she added. “My job is already hard enough.”
Beyond concerns about working after hours, many CEA members said they are also concerned about insufficient compensation.
Tracey DeLucia, an elementary school teacher who has worked in the district for the past 24 years, said teachers “just want a fair contract.”
“I want the School Committee to know that we’re not all right, that teachers are really stressed,” DeLucia said. “The bottom line is we want our kids to be the best — but you need to support us when we are doing the heavy lifting”
Bella Sandoval, a teacher at CRLS, added that the price of living in Cambridge increases the difficulty for educators in the district. She said it’s “naive” to believe that someone living on an educator’s salary can afford to live in Cambridge.
“You can stay teaching and working in the community that you love,” she said. “But if you want to afford to live and support a family, you either move your family out and commute — which adds a toll on people’s lives, of course — or you stay and live in somewhat poverty in the area.”
Molly Brooks, a history teacher at CRLS with a master’s degree, said her compensation does not reflect the level of education she attained.
“Unfortunately, I can say I still live paycheck to paycheck, and I have a second job — sometimes three, depending on the time of year,” Brooks said. “On top of how ridiculously difficult this job is and the demands that take place — not just in the building, but outside — I still have that additional stressor in my life of, you know, being able to pay all my bills.”
Chris Montero, a history teacher at CRLS, said he hopes the School Committee “gets the message that we’re not going away.”
“We demand to be compensated fairly, and we demand to be treated like professionals — because we are — and I think that the sooner they get that, the better off they’re going to be,” Montero said. “It’s just a matter of when they’re going to come to that realization — I hope it’s sooner rather than later, but we’re in it for the long haul.”

New York City Office Market Report
Foot Traffic Recovery and Strong Leasing in Prime
Business Districts Bode Well for City’s Office Sector
Midtown offices see jump in utilization, leasing. Manhattan’s prime office corridors are entering the latter half of the year poised for further improvement. Placer.ai’s New York City office index noted foot traffic in Midtown and Lower Manhattan was just 14.5 percent behind the January 2020 baseline. This places local office attendance at the highest level since the onset of the health crisis, and decidedly outperforms the national average, which recorded visitation at 32.3 percent below the pre-pandemic norm. Leasing data indicates that firms are targeting floor plans in neighborhoods with major commuter nodes to incentivize office attendance. While a 17.6 percent vacancy figure in Midtown in the second quarter remains 490 basis points ahead of the year-end 2019 equivalent, more than 7.1 million square feet was absorbed on a net basis during the 12-month period ended in June, the highest total since at least 2007.

The Sony Xperia Z1s has been spotted in the wild before, where some folks have also called it the Xperia Z1 mini. Apparently, the Sony Xperia Z1s has made its rounds through Postel, which happens to be the wireless authority in the nation of Indonesia. Well, we are glad to say that the Sony Xperia Z1s has finally made its way over to the US, thanks to some documents from the FCC which reveal a diagram of the device, where from there, we have also garnered information about the size of its footprint – measuring 129mm x 64.9mm.
As for the software version of the Sony Xperia Z1s, it has been listed as 14.2.A.0.144, which should point to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (apparently, when it came to the Xperia Z Ultra, 14.2.A.0.290 happened to be the listing which was equivalent of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update). For those who are not in the know, the Sony Xperia Z1s happens to be a smaller version of the Z1 flagship, where it comes equipped with a 4.3″ 720p display, running on a Snapdragon 800 chipset, sporting a 20.7-megapixel camera alongside a water-resistant design. Whispers on the street have it that the Sony Xperia Z1s will arrive sometime in the first quarter of next year, sporting a $590 price point. [FCC Page]

Canadian researchers arrived at this conclusion, revealing that kids who consumed soy, almond, rice or other alternative milk products were shorter than their peers who favored cow’s milk. They published their findings in the April 12, 2017 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The study observed 5,034 children in Canada, all from two to six years old. These kids were part of the Applied Research Group, which was a program initiated by St. Michael’s Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children. The average age of the subjects was 38 months, with 51% being male. The participants were recruited from family and pediatric health-care practices between December 2008 and September 2005.
About five percent of the subjects drank exclusively non-cow’s milk while 84% consumed only cow’s milk. Eight percent and three percent of the subjects had both and drank neither, respectively. Outlined below are the results of the study:
• Children who had a cup of non-cow’s milk were 0.4 centimeters shorter than average for their age.
• Those who had a daily cup of cow’s milk were 0.2 centimeters taller than average.
• Kids who consumed three cups of non-cow’s milk and three cups of cow’s milk per day had a height difference of 1.5 centimeters.
• Those who drank a combination of cow’s milk and non-cow’s milk were shorter than average.
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to give cow’s milk to their children under the age of one.  The organization issued the advisory due to non-cow’s milk lack of the many required nutrient for babies and the difficulty of digesting the milk’s protein and fat content. Cow’s milk is only beneficial for children over the age of one. They need the fat, protein, and calcium in the milk for their developing brain and bone health.
Several studies have long posited the link between cow’s milk consumption in childhood and increased height.  The new study attributed the association between non-cow’s milk intake and shorter height to the lower levels of protein in non-cow’s milk.
According to one of the study authors, Dr. Jonathan Maguire, two cups of cow’s milk contain around 16 grams of protein which is sufficient for the daily protein recommendation of a three-year-old child. Meanwhile, two cups of almond milk only have four grams of protein.
Maguire criticizes the U.S. and Canadian governments for regulating the nutritional content of cow’s milk while that of most non-cow’s milk is not.  The amount of protein and fat in non-cow’s milk products vary due to the lack of regulation, he adds. Maguire advises parents to be vigilant when buying products that are being marketed as being equivalent to cow’s milk. He stresses the need to know if the products offer the same in terms of their effect on children’s growth.
The study raised some eyebrows from those who are involved in the ongoing debate about the benefits of cow’s milk versus dairy alternatives. Professor Amy Joy Lanou of the University of North Carolina-Asheville told CNN why the study only focused on milk consumption. She believes that the overall diets of the children should also have been part of the study. She lambasted the study for making an improper conclusion that taller means healthier.
For Dr. Frances Cheng, a science advisor for PETA, the cross-sectional study is limited that it is hard to draw meaningful conclusions from it. She noted the failure of the study to track what the children ate or drank apart from milk, supporting Lanou’s argument.

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

FORMER builder Trevor Keilar turned his hand to music at the age of 57 and he’s been making up for lost time ever since.
Fittingly, his latest album — his sixth in just eight years — is titled Time’s A Wastin’.
“That’s what you think when you pass 60,” the Warrnambool musician laughed.
Now aged 65, Keilar is one of the south-west’s busiest cover artists.
His country repertoire, in particular his Johnny Cash covers, have seen him become an in-demand performer at country music festivals.
“It’s getting bigger every year for me,” Keilar said.
Performances in Ballarat and Colac have led to his inclusion in the line-up for country festivals in Horsham and South Australia, as well as many requests for his Cash tribute show.
“There’s not a lot of people that do Johnny Cash,” he said. Time’s A Wastin’, named for a song popularised by Johnny Cash and June Carter, features Keilar covering eight Cash songs and six by Charlie Pride.
While his previous album, Living Country, saw Keilar diversify and cover the likes of Merle Haggard, Dean Martin, Tom T Hall, Kris Kristofferson and Don Williams, Keilar said he keeps coming back to Cash.
“I’ve always been a fan of Johnny Cash,” he said.
“I don’t try to sing like him, I just sing songs and apparently I sound a bit like him.
“It’s all tied up with seeing Walk The Line.”
That film, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Cash, inspired Keilar to pick up the guitar which had sat long-dormant in the corner.
Despite his career growing, Keilar said he’s content playing other people’s songs.
“The Johnny Cash thing is working for me,” he explained.
“I don’t believe I’m a songwriter — I had a bit of crack at it but it didn’t turn out too good.”
Keilar will launch Time’s A Wastin’ tomorrow at City Memorial Bowls Club in Warrnambool from 8pm.
He’ll be backed by bassist Don Holland and former Ghostriders drummer Gill Everard.
The support acts will be Bill Gray and Robyn Gleeson, with Gleeson to join Keilar for a few songs later in the show.

In the late 19th century, French and German were taught at McGill as “foreign languages”: French as the language of diplomacy and German as the language of science. These courses were first taught by one C.F.A. Markgraf, who later became a senior librarian at McGill. During the subsequent history of German Studies at McGill, several figures were instrumental in the expansion of our department into a thriving center of literary research. Bertha Meyer, an early feminist scholar who taught here in the decades before and after WWII, published studies on German-Jewish writers and women of the Romantic period. Born in Québec and of Jewish origin, she was also active during the war in helping newcomers to Canada. Later, Armin Arnold, a prolific scholar of modern world literature, was charged with expanding German Studies into a department of Comparative Literature. At that time, Québec was going through a period of rapid educational expansion, and under Arnold’s chairmanship, our department grew to encompass more than 60 graduate students. Succeeding Arnold, after an interim period of acting chairs (Ernst Gallati, Hans Joachim Maitre, Horst Richter), was Professor Peter M. Daly, who represented the department from 1978 to 2000 with a distinguished international reputation in the field of emblematics. After Professor Daly's retirement, the chairship passed to Professor Karin Bauer, author of Adorno’s Nietzschean Narratives (1999), who also served as president of the CAUTG from 2002 to 2004.
Under Professor Bauer's leadership, our department is currently entering into a new phase with several retirements and new hires. After a distinguished career at McGill, our medievalist Horst Richter left us in the winter of 2006. His departure was followed a year later in the fall by those of Professor Trudis Goldsmith-Reber, whose work within our department has largely helped to place film and theater studies on the McGill map, and Professor Adrian Hsia, whose research on transcultural translation and interpretation has earned him a distinguished reputation in North America, Europe and Asia. These retirements were accompanied by two additions that have given the department a new emphasis on historical media and cultural studies. Professor Andrew Piper, a specialist in the history of the book and translation, was hired in 2005 to cover the classical and romantic periods at the turn of the 19th century. In 2006, the department then hired Professor Michael Cowan, who works on film, modernism and the history of the body.
Professors Piper and Cowan are joining four other remaining faculty members to make up the core faculty in German Studies at McGill. Professor Bauer, who continues to serve as departmental chair, focuses in her current research on German intellectual history and cultural studies in the postwar period. Professor Paul Peters, author of the 1997 study Die Wunde Heine (now in its second edition since 2001), has published widely on writers from the 18th century to the present with an emphasis on Heine, Kafka, Brecht and Celan. Professor Josef Schmidt, who will be remaining with us until 2008, is the author of numerous scholarly articles and the editor of such best-selling volumes as the Kriminalromanführer (Guide to Detective Novels) from Reclam Press and the third volume of Reclam’s German literature series Die deutsche Literatur in Text und Darstellung on Renaissance, Humanism and Reformation.
With this faculty team, our department remains strongly grounded in the philological tradition that earned McGill German Studies its prestigious reputation, while at the same time expanding into the areas of transdisciplinary research. Reflecting this double emphasis, the McGill German department currently offers a range of programs for students wishing to focus on literature, cultural history, media or contemporary German Studies. We take seriously the changing role of German Studies and believe that research into the history of German cultural production is more relevant than ever in a context marked by globalization, European unification and rapidly changing mediascapes.


Riddle me this: If four stoners play loud music in a barn in a small town and no one’s around to hear it, does it make a sound? The Ontario-based band Familiars proves that it does with the release of their two-track, live, off-the-floor recording of “Fire in the Sky” and its B-Side, “Beyond Its Reach”.
As far as bands go, this one’s still in its infant stages. To put things into perspective, this is their first recording effort, which follows not too far behind their first live show, which took place recently in Toronto at The Silver Dollar Room. Being mindful of this, these dudes have definitely secured themselves a very solid position from which to start.
Loud and distorted riff-rock is the name of their game, pulling in elements of both doom and sludge metal, resulting in a dark and heavy tone which is featured throughout their repertoire. Their A-Side track, “Fire in the Sky”, is a testament to their ability to blend an upbeat tempo with a downbeat feel, although the vocals get lost in the mass of sound coming from the instruments. While this may be due to their off-the-floor recording method (which, rumor has it, was done in a barn), the music that Familiars plays needs stronger, more substantial vocals to add some dimension to their sound.
This is somewhat rectified in “Beyond its Reach”, which is the more developed of their two songs. It begins with a particularly catchy opening beat, giving way to the hooks that keep up throughout the majority of the following four and a half minutes. The guitar’s tone is reminiscent of what you’d find in some Black Mountain material, but more on the fuzzy side. The band’s use of different sounds, the distortion of grunge, the deeper, more evil tone of doom metal, and the slow, heavy tempos of sludge metal, simultaneously is something that is instantly memorable and shows promise for any recordings to come.
If Familiars continues to mature and evolve on this track, their future releases will be something to get excited about. Poised to become some of the next leading men in Canadian stoner rock, I am intrigued to see what comes next for these small-town Ontario rockers.

Brazilian beef producer Marfrig Global Foods has formally asked Brazilian antitrust watchdog CADE to approve its purchase of almost a quarter of BRF’s outstanding stock, reported Reuters.
A Marfrig spokeswoman told Reuters on Tuesday, June 1, that the application, which is meant to be analyzed under a fast-track procedure, was made on May 28 and could be processed in as little as 30 days.
Marfrig’s decision to seek antitrust review of its purchase of a 24% stake in BRF, Brazil’s biggest poultry processor and owner of leading brands like Sadia, underscores the sensitivity of the investment despite Marfrig’s insistence that it is not seeking to influence BRF’s management.
The beef company stated on May 21 that the investment, which comes almost two years after previous failed merger talks between the two companies, was a passive stake solely aimed at diversifying its holdings.

The client is a consulting firm that specializes in regulatory compliance and legal services for life sciences companies. They provide guidance and support to pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies in navigating complex regulations, compliance matters, market access strategies, and high-risk engagements in jurisdictions around the country and the world.
The organization had a SaaS platform, which provided a go-to source for compliance professionals looking for regulatory analysis of global, federal, and state life sciences laws relating to the marketing and sale of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The system was starting to show its age and was not able to meet modern requirements around accessibility and mobile. Worse, the system was no longer intuitive to end users because new functionality being added was not envisioned when the system was first built. As a result, existing subscribers were expressing frustration and new subscriber growth had stalled.
Gavant modernized and rebuilt the software system leveraging infrastructure services on AWS. The user experience for searching and filtering through compliance data was completely reimagined, not only by simplifying the path to finding regulations, but additionally by presenting cross-references to related compliance data across other jurisdictions. Additionally, a responsive mobile interface created a more accessible experience for a broad class of subscribers.
The application was a big part of client’s marketing. Following the rewrite, the new user experience and smart search tools were a big appeal for new subscribers. By the end of the second year, the platform experienced 74% subscriber growth. And for the first time, compliance data could be added and managed dynamically by back-office personnel, saving tens of thousands of dollars in annual data update releases.


Solana’s meteoric rise over the past few weeks put it on the map with a rush of new investors further elevating its market cap. The cryptocurrency seemed to ignore bearish signals earlier after SOL hit all-time highs. As the week comes to a close, SOL’s weekly gains were wiped off as it became the biggest loser in the top 10 cryptocurrency club.
In the past 24 hours, Solana witnessed a 15.2 percent dip in value as the token traded for $178.07 on Friday. If Solana’s weekly gains were compared with the rest of the market, it would ironically emerge as the biggest gainer. Solana also saw it’s daily trading volume dwindle to $9.18 billion after a hectic week on the floors.
Solana 1 hour:
With the immediate support near the $155 mark, Solana was still some ways off from breaking it. Technical indicators showed a bearish bump in the market as the momentum shifted downwards.
Relative Strength Index: Solana’s RSI fell towards the oversold zone after a change in investor sentiments. The sudden drop pushed more holders into selling their assets.
MACD: The short term MACD crashed below the histogram as the signal line and the MACD line diverged from one another. Solana’s MACD histogram continued to blink red as the amplitude increased.
PSAR: Markers stayed above the price candles as the sentiment stayed bearish.
Solana 1 day:
In the long term, Solana broke away from its bullish pattern after the formation of two consecutive red candles. This had happened for the first time since the end of July. Solana’s long-term support stayed near the $70 mark with indicators pointing to a slowdown.
Parabolic SAR: The markers here were below the price candles as the current bear run wasn’t enough to disrupt the strong uptrend. A third red candle formation could possibly lead the markers to jump above the candle.
Relative Strength Index: As more people bought Solana in August, the graph stayed above the overbought threshold.
MACD: The signal line and the MACD line moved upwards in tandem, signaling a bullish overturn. According to the MACD histogram, the atmosphere was still bullish for traders to jump into the market.

Every once in awhile the stars align to give classic rock music fans an epic night of rock and roll. On Saturday Sept. 20 the night kicked off with Tesla at The Eastside Cannery. It has been way too long since I have seen Tesla perform. Tonight the band reaffirmed that they are still one of the best bands around. Tesla played all the classic hits including “Signs” and “Love Song.” Jeff Keith’s vocals were crystal clear. Guitarist Frank Hannon stole the show with his impressive guitar shredding.
The band played two songs off of their new album Simplicity. Jeff Keith commented, “Tesla is no bells and whistles. Just pure rock plain and simple.” In 2014, Tesla proves that they are in the now. The band’s excellent music has defined their impressive career. In attendance were local rock celebrities, Jerry Dixon from Warrant, Stacey Blades, and Jaime St. James.
The night didn’t end at The Eastside Cannery. Fans rushed over to Vamp’d to see Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon perform with Count’s 77 featuring Danny Koker of the TV hit show Counting Cars and owner of Vamp’d. Count’s 77 have a huge classic rock sound. The band just wrapped up an East Coast trek in support of their latest release Count 77 on Shrapnel Records.
Count’s 77 opened the night with some Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith’s “Train Kept A Rollin.” The band also performed new song “Good Boy.” They remind me of the Allman Brothers meets Foghat. Tonight the set was all about the jams. Guitarist John Zito and guitarist Stoney Curtis traded off guitar riffs. John was really impressive with his bluesy style.
The moment we all were waiting for finally arrived. Frank Hannon of Tesla joined the band onstage for “Good Times” by Led Zep, “Gamblin Man”, and Foghat’s “Slow Ride.” Frank burned the strings on his red Gibson. All eyes were on the pyrotechnics that exploded as Frank showed Vamp’d this is how we rock Vamp’d style. Singer Danny Koker is a great front man. Actually, one of my favorite songs was “Chevy Van.” This showed the melodic bluesy style of his voice.
The music did all the talking. Classic rock fans rejoiced at all the great impromptu moments that unveiled right before our eyes. It is not often that majestic musical nights like this occur. Tonight the musical expertise was explosive as musical guest Frank Hannon and Count’s 77 rocked the house! It is nights like this that make the music scene of Las Vegas so special. Be sure to check out all the upcoming shows at www.vampdvegas.com.

Chelsea have made minimal signings in the 2021 summer transfer window and it’s left them a little light in central midfield; but that could be about to change.
Yes Romelu Lukaku is a magnificent signing and feels very much like the final piece in the jigsaw in attack, but that ignores the fact football is about more than just the 11 players on the pitch and in order to compete for big titles; a great squad is necessary.
Now, of course, Chelsea have a great squad. One of the best around actually. Marina Granovskaia is one of the best executives in the game today and has assembled for Thomas Tuchel a wonderful group of complimentary players with one key flaw: central midfield.
Well, central midfield depth. Obviously N’Golo Kanté and Jorginho are both world-class and dominant as starters, but the season is long and Chelsea’s level drops clearly when one of them is replaced by Mateo Kovacic. The Croat is a great all-rounder but doesn’t have the complimentary specialisations that make Kanté and Jorginho such a formidable duo, in particular he is a poor replacement for Kanté.
N'Golo Kanté was named UEFA Player of the Match in four out of Chelsea's seven #UCL knockout games last season:
— Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 26, 2021
Chelsea have other options there but none are great. Yes Andreas Christensen, Trevoh Chalobah or Reece James could step up and play there but, again, not with the pressing ferocity of N’Golo Kanté and besides, the departures of Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori mean that Tuchel will be reluctant to move Christensen from his position as Chelsea’s defensive anchor (alongside Antonio Rudiger).
Mason Mount could also drop back, and while he would press more, it wouldn’t be quite the same and moreover would make Chelsea more open as the Englishman’s pressing in-front of the midfield (and his tracking back to make it a central three without the ball) is also key to the Blues being so defensively robust.
They needed a body in there, but who?
Better call Saul!
— Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 31, 2021
Five years ago, a 21 year-old Saul Niguez looked like he was going to be the next big thing in Spanish midfielders. Here was a guy who could do it all; tackle, intercept, run, pass, dribble and shoot. Anyone who saw him waltz his way through the Bayern Munich defence and calmly slot it home with his left-foot could have been fooled that they were watching Leo Messi. And yet that same Saul rose into the air like Cristiano Ronaldo a year later to thump home a header and knock Leicester out of the Champions League.
Things haven’t panned out as many hoped for the man who once played in defence for Paco Jemez at Rayo Vallecano (ask your big brother), as he has chafed against the stagnation of Atletico Madrid as well as abuse of his positional versatility by Diego Simeone.
His coach has used him all over the place, rather than letting him pick one position and make it his own. And as a result Saul has never really fulfilled his immense promise. There were rumours he’d join Barcelona or Liverpool earlier in the summer, but those stories faded and he seemed destined to stay at Atleti.
Saúl has now scored in a Champions League semi-final against:
Great start for Atletico. pic.twitter.com/0fdJ6mdYvb
— Squawka Football (@Squawka) May 10, 2017
But late on deadline day, Matt Law of the Telegraph reports that Chelsea are “cautiously hopeful” of securing him on loan with an option to buy. And suddenly, things are looking very bright for the Blues.
If Chelsea get this deal over the line they will be securing a player of immense potential. Sure, he’s stalled out lately but you don’t lose talent like Saul had. You just need the right coach and situation to harness it.
Saul is unlikely to be a good back-up for Jorginho, that will remain Mateo Kovacic’s domain, but for N’Golo Kanté? Saul has played under Cholo Simeone and Paco Jemez he understands how and where to press opponents, he has the physical drive to do it as well. Since the start of 2017/18, only Casemiro (385) has made more tackles than Saul (374) in all of La Liga.
Moreover, Kanté carrying the ball forward after winning it has become a key feature of Chelsea’s play and guess who can do that too? Saul! And of course what he has that even Kanté doesn’t is an eye for goal. If he’s allowed to play the same way Kanté does, all those shooting positions that the Frenchman wastes or passes up will become goalscoring opportunities under Saul.
If Chelsea can secure the signing of Saul, they would have plugged the only hole in their otherwise impossibly great squad and you would have to consider them the inevitable Premier League champions. Right now if N’Golo Kanté gets injured their whole system loses a lot of its bite, but with Saul on board they would have too much quality in literally every position. They would be unstoppable.

“As part of our commitment to environmental protection, our Expedition staff also collect data from places in Antarctica where researchers struggle to acquire information. Our onboard education program includes lectures on the conservation of birds, marine mammals, marine wildlife and ecosystems – as well as global climate change and its impact on the world – all delivered by our team of scientific experts,” added Brady.
“While onboard G Expedition in Antarctica travelers participate in the ship’s long-standing citizen science projects to help them make the most of their Antarctic expedition. We also have a ‘photographer-in-residence’ onboard to help travelers tell a visual story about their adventure, and to share their learnings when they come home as they ultimately become custodians of the oceans,” highlighted Brady.

* China's FX reserves fall $27 bln in February
* Economists polled by Reuters expected reserves to drop by $1 bln
* Regulator says decline due to global currency rate fluctuations
* Rising U.S. rates could pressure yuan, revive outflow worries
BEIJING, March 7 (Reuters) - China's foreign exchange reserves fell in February, posting their first decline in 13 months, as the yuan weakened against the U.S. dollar amid wild swings in global financial markets. Reserves fell $27 billion to $3.134 trillion, compared with an increase of $21.5 billion in January, central bank data showed on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had expected reserves to drop The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) said adjustments in the value of China's holdings of non-dollar currencies and assets led to the decline for the month, adding that the size of its foreign exchange reserves will remain basically stable. "Our model suggests that the PBOC largely remained on the sidelines, with most of the decrease in the value of reserves due to exchange rate movements," Capital Economics' Senior China Economist Julian Evans-Pritchard wrote in a note, referring to whether the central bank intervened in markets last month. Capital flight was seen as a major risk for China at the start of 2017, but a combination of tighter capital controls and a faltering dollar helped the yuan stage a strong turnaround, restoring confidence in the economy. China's reserves rose for the first time last year since 2014. They had slumped nearly $1 trillion to $2.998 trillion by January 2017 as authorities sought to shore up the yuan and reduce potentially destabilizing capital outflows. Last year was a turning point as China's cross-border capital flows went from net outflows to stable, SAFE spokeswoman Wang Chunying told reporters in January. The yuan rose around 6.8 percent against the greenback in 2017, reversing three straight years of depreciation. The gains stretched into this year, with January's 3.5 percent rise the yuan's best monthly performance since 1994. But the currency weakened 0.6 percent to the dollar in February in its first monthly drop since September. February's dollar gains were triggered by views that the U.S. central bank could raise interest rates at a faster pace, but the greenback has wilted again this month as President Donald Trump's plans to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum spark fears of a global trade war. "If concerns about U.S. protectionism continue to build, it will weaken global investors' appetite for emerging market assets," said Evans-Pritchard, who also argued that slower growth in China will likely trigger unexpected Chinese rate cuts this year. "In both cases, capital outflows from China will likely pick up. If the PBOC does not intervene, it would spark speculation China wants the yuan to weaken, which would revive outflows and depreciation pressure." The U.S. Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise rates again on March 21, a day after China's annual parliament meeting is slated to end. In response, most market watchers believe the PBOC will make small adjustments to the rates it charges for short- and medium-term OMO loans, including 7-day reverse repurchase agreements. The value of China's gold reserves fell to $78.064 billion at the end of February, from $79.675 billion at end-January.

Target Store to open in Lebanon County, located at site of old Kmart on Quentin Road
Target is set to come to Lebanon County, with the purchase for $5 million of a property that used to house a Kmart on Quentin Road in North Cornwall Township.
"We’re excited to bring an easy, safe and convenient shopping experience to new guests in the community with this new Target store," wrote a spokesperson for the company.
The Target would be situated across the road from Giant and Staples and close to Pho Yummy, a dollar store, and a wine and spirits store.
Currently, the Target closest to the planned location is in Lititz, more than a half-hour away from the projected store at 1745 Quentin Road. The old Kmart building was recently used as a mass coronavirus vaccination site.
The sale of the property from Seritage KMT Finance LLC to Target Corporation was conducted in late June, according to documents obtained from the Lebanon County Courthouse.
Asked about the property transfer to Target, Thomas J. Long Sr., township manager at North Cornwall, said the township has no other information at this time.
The store will be approximately 117,000 square feet, according to Target. "As we get closer to opening the store, we’ll have more specific details to share – including how the shopping experience will be tailored to serve local guests and the grand opening date."

Star Trek Animated Series Lands at Nickelodeon
In February, it was revealed that CBS and Nickelodeon were teaming up to bring a new Star Trek animated series to younger viewers. Now, we have our first official details about the show.
The CG-animated Star Trekseries will center on "agroup of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation."
Developed by Emmy Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman, the show will be executive produced by Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth, while Aaron Baiers will serve as a co-executive producer.Click the button below to start this article in quick view. Start now
“‘Star Trek’s’ mission is to inspire generations of dreamers to build a brighter future,” Kurtzman said in a statement. “Dan and Kevin have crafted a story that honors its exploratory spirit in a way that’s never been done before, while the Nickelodeon team blew us away with their excitement at bringing ‘Trek’ to a younger generation around the world.”
“Partnering with CBS Television Studios and the creative masterminds behind the ‘Star Trek’ franchise is an incredible opportunity and allows our audience to discover rich characters and new stories,” Naito added. “‘Star Trek’ is a franchise loved by generations of fans around the globe, and adding Nickelodeon as home to the next animated series is a perfect fit.”
The Star Trek animated series has yet to receive a release date but will debut exclusively on Nickelodeon.


"At first, I thought it was my imagination. Around the time the iPhone 5S and 5C were released, in September, I noticed that my sad old iPhone 4 was becoming a lot more sluggish," writes Catherine Rampell in The New York Times. She noticed her batteries were being drained more quickly than before, too. She called some tech analysts who blamed it on iOS 7.
I have an iPhone 4s. The battery life is terrible. But it was bad before I upgraded to iOS 7. Is it worse now? Maybe — I have a bunch of battery cases that I am constantly snapping on to my energy-gorging phone, so I'm not really sure.
Rampell goes on to explore the idea that Apple is intentionally obsoleting older iPhones by releasing operating systems designed to slow down earlier models and drain their batteries. But I think the battery life of iPhones, old and new, just suck. I'd prefer a thick phone that runs all day without needing a recharge, than a thin, lightweight phone that you have to put in a thick case to protect anyway.

Intel chip to power iTV?
Apple's iTV media streaming device -- which was introduced on September 12th at the company's special event in San Francisco -- might use a new value chip from Intel which is set to launch within the same timeframe, according to Electronista. Walt Disney CEO Bog Iger recently confirmed the presence of a hard drive in the small wireless relay device, which would likely require a CPU powerful enough to decode H.264 high definition video using at least the 640 x 480 resolution of videos purchased from its own iTunes Music Store. The new Intel chip, currently codenamed "Pentium E1000," is a stripped-down version of the Core 2 desktop platform that uses only a single core and 1MB of L2 cache. This reduction lowers the costs and power requirements such that a device like Apple's iTV could make use of an E1000 variant without compromising Apple's desired $299 price tag.

How long have I wandered the ever welcoming cold of the void?
How many centuries has it taken to get here?
How many untold have died?
Not nearly enough.
The noble war draws close and now, at last, my sponsors shall taste the endless suffering of reality.
Tell the Crow his persistence was admirable, but it would never be enough. Icarus will take flight, and the Galaxy shall burn.....
~Inquisitor Felden Heliosz
The ramblings of the far fallen Inquisitor Heliosz. A once powerful and respected Inquisitor of the Ordos Hereticus, now a deviant rogue feared for his knowledge and what his actions suggest his end game to be.
Heliosz is danger incarnate.
Spurred on by a tome of forbidden lore and empowered by the darkest of energies, bound in iron and soaked in blood. Heliosz has indeed fallen far.
Like a moth to a flame Heliosz is drawn ever downward by the whispers of the ruinious powers. What they provide with one gesture they remove from him with the next. The power that sustains him, is also devouring him from the inside.
When Heliosz kills with the bound daemon weapon his strength and martial skills are heightened, when he reads the secrets which should never be read he is granted powers over the molecule and atom. Able to dismantle those who would oppose him in an offering to those that need him.
These gifts as stated are not free however. Maintained in ancient suite of atificer armour with internal works blessed by the darkest rituals and operated by the foulest of machine spirits, Heliosz's is kept on the brink of death on a promise of immortality. Every time he taps into the power of the warp his physical form is the currency for the exchange. His left arm is withered and is a bare shadow of the noble frame and muscle it once was. For each person laid to ruin he is rewarded with Dark vigour, his right arm overly muscular as the black energies within poison and taint what's left of his organics.
Felden Heliosz, hereticus rogue.


We all enjoy a good ‘sleeper’. An unassuming car that appears standard but secretly packs a punch, and (minus the discreet ‘Turbo’ badge on the rear bootlid!) this 1989 Volvo 440 Turbo is a textbook example.
This immaculate car is pristine throughout – not as the result of an extensive restoration, but as a result of being garaged its entire life and having covered just 13k miles from its one and only registered owner!
As well as the aforementioned ‘Turbo’ badge, the more discerning Volvo fan might recognise the factory rear spoiler and lowered suspension. This Turbo model was well-equipped inside, too, with heated seats, trip computer and additional Turbo and Oil Temp gauges.
On the road, the car drives superbly and the 1.7 turbo engine performs extremely well, while the history file shows 23 main dealer stamps in the service book and shows the car had its timing belt changed at 12,046 miles.
Mint condition, one-owner, low-mileage cars like this are extremely rare and, given that there are only 12 left registered in the UK, this must be the lowest mileage 440 Turbo left anywhere and is a superb alternative to an equivalent GTi from the era.

Luxuriating in the spa bath in the hotel for the last time. Heading back to Oz tomorrow. It's been wonderful, but there's no place like home.
... the protests in 2013. It was still early so I walked down to the seabus port and caught a ferry across the Bosphorus to the Asian side. The temptation to visit two continents within a few minutes may be cheesy but it was irresistible. And I seriously needed to sit down for a while as I'd been walking for hours. Back up to Taksim (this time, breaking my no-transport rule, as I was getting exhausted by then) in the underground funicular railway and seeking out a ...
... Finally made it and then spent the rest of the rainy/windy/cold afternoon at his company. Cem and I then went for dinner, alone, at an awesome Asian fusion restaurant with an incredible view. It was an upscale place, but we were there early and on a Sunday, so it wasn't that busy. Dinner was fantastic. We then hit up a place that serves 150 different kind of shots. Like gourmet shots. 4 different types of liquor, that kind of thing. We were the only ones ...
... distress. A quick sprint and I was at the gate a full minute before the scheduled closing time where, as is always the case in these situations, boarding had been delayed and gates hadn't even opened yet.
Well, at least I got some exercise.
I wondered on the flight why I'd been interrogated more than anyone else I observed, both at the airport and when I'd first entered the country. I think it's because I'm a solo traveller, and therefore far more likely ...

We walked next door to the 'Blue Mosque' not knowing anyone can view and visit during opening times. The main square was quite impressive along with the minarets and domes of the mosque. There were some good outlines of Islam and Mohamed's last speech which gives perspective on ...

The PWP2 is a swimming pool, spa and pond ioniser that controls the filter, pump run times and current output to the copper and silver alloy electrodes. The battery backed up clock controls multiple filter and ionising times as well as auto winter and turndown modes. The PWP2 is designed to suit pools up to 100,000 litre
The PWP2 applies a small, controlled current to a pair of electrodes made of a silver and copper alloy. These electrodes are set apart from one another in a cell that is fitted after the pool filtration. Electrolysis occurs as the water passes over the energised electrodes, producing natural silver and copper mineral ions. The silver ions attack bacteria in the water and the copper ions inhibit the growth of algae. As ionisation is not affected by temperature, the PWP2works well in both hot and cool climates.
Safe for skin and eyes
Kills algae and bacteria
Minimises the requirement for chlorine
