AdhereTech’s customers include several of the largest US pharmaceutical companies, a national pharmacy chain, and both New York and Boston’s health system operators. |
Although reluctant to talk detail about the company’s profit and loss account, Mr Stein claims that annual revenues will pass the million-dollar mark next year. The company has raised $2.4m in two funding rounds, the most recent of which was $1.8m in July 2014, and Mr Stein says there are no immediate plans to add to t... |
After graduation from Wharton, Mr Stein returned to New York. “I love this city [and] that definitely played into the decision, but the healthcare technology scene here is incredible,” Mr Stein says. |
He gained a place on Blueprint Health, a New York-based accelerator programme focused on helping early-stage healthcare businesses. It was here Mr Stein and his team built a working prototype and lined up trials. |
The next few months will see the rollout of a second version of its smart pill bottle with a longer battery life, a wireless chip that can work outside North America and, in Mr Stein’s words, “looks more like a normal bottle”. |

THERESA MAY faces a Tory mutiny after Spain demanded joint management of Gibraltar’s airport as the price of a Brexit deal. |
Spain’s foreign minister Alfonso Dastis also said Madrid wanted greater cooperation on tax and tobacco smuggling. |
The demands stop short of a full demand for sovereignty. |
But it threatens to spark yet more uproar among Tory backbenchers furious the Government hasn’t stood up to Spain on the issue of the Rock. |
Mr Dastis wants an agreement by next month’s crucial EU summit where Britain hopes to seal a Brexit transition deal. |
Last year Brussels gave the Spanish government a formal veto over the provisions of any EU-UK Brexit deal that apply to the territory. |
Speaking to the FT, Mr Dastis said he wanted a deal that was as close as possible to the status quo with Britain. But on Gibraltar he said Spain wants an agreement they will “manage the airport together”. |
He insisted Spain “has a claim” to the land, claiming it was illegally occupied by the UK. |
He added: “We need some more co-operation with the Gibraltar or the UK tax authorities but the situation has already improved. |
PHILADELPHIA — I DON’T blanch as the guy in the green muscle shirt posts me up, six feet from the basket. He is 30 years younger, four inches taller and 25 pounds of muscle heavier. He gets the ball and goes up for the shot, but my arm flashes in front of him and, somehow, his shot goes awry and I grab the rebound as t... |
All right, that doesn’t happen much, even though I play, at 62, full-court basketball at a Philadelphia gym almost daily. I have guarded quite a few ex-college players and even some celebrities — the comic Kevin Hart last year and Will Smith back in his “Fresh Prince” days (he dunked backward over me, alas). No one wou... |
Some naysayers would posit that I am, well, nuts to play a strenuous sport like basketball at my age, but Dr. Brooke Salzman, a professor of geriatric medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, isn’t one of them. |
With medical statistics scarce on this amorphous, more adventurous niche of elder exercise, participants tend to do what feels right for them, even if it hurts sometimes. |
Jerry Quill, 75, did not play ice hockey when he was growing up in Minnesota or at Colgate University. Only when he came to suburban Philadelphia as a banker did he join a local skating rink and become involved in adult leagues. Fifty years onward, he plays twice a week in leagues where, while there is no defensive che... |
“We call it ‘incidental contact’; we try not to stumble onto one another,” he said of his over-40 league. He has had, over the years, two broken ankles, a broken tibia, 55 stitches when a stick came up into his face and a puck in the eye on a tip-in. “It’s not a sport for the faint of heart,” he said. |
Yet each week he plays, Mr. Quill said, he feels fulfilled and ready to play another one. “Maybe I’ll quit when I am 85,” he said. |
Megan DeLena, of Lower Pottsgrove, Pa., sometimes drinks beer, too — after her 50-mile races. A bit younger than Mr. Quill, at 52, Ms. DeLena said she ran marathons for years and determined that she was not going to get any faster at them, so the new challenge had to be longer races. |
She actually did not “do sports” as a child, she said, though she was in the badminton club as an undergrad at Princeton. She did not start running until 1995, having decided to stay home with her two young children and going “stir crazy.” Running was a convenient option, and a year out she did her first marathon. |
Chuck Melin just does the same thing week to week. He is a steer-wrestler and also the president of the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association. Mr. Melin, who lives in Edmonton, Alberta, does the senior rodeo circuit, mostly in the Western United States, for several months a year. He started at 17 and has done as many a... |
John Branigan, a Philadelphia lawyer, is similarly young-looking. A catcher in over-40 baseball leagues — “not softball, mind you,” he said — he will be 63 next season. |
To his friends, the baseball seems less incongruous than his boxing, which stuns them. Mostly his boxing takes place in classes, but he fights in matches, with mouthpiece and headgear, several times a year. |
Ben Paradee, 62, moved to Crested Butte, Colo., a few years ago after a career with the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. He loved to ski, but was a little worried how long he could do it. Then the head of instruction saw how well he skied and persuaded Mr. Paradee to start teaching. Now, it is not just quick downhills, but... |
"Sometimes doing nothing is doing something," said the notoriously active outfielder. "I'm healing, so that is something to do." |
Pence said he has broken two bones before -- a wrist, during his rookie major league season, and a pinkie finger. Both healed "outstanding. I heal pretty fast, generally -- usually quicker than I'm supposed to." |
There's a question of how quickly Pence would be able to return even after he gets the cast off. Whenever that happens, he said the main focus will be building up strength in his left wrist so that he can rotate it following through on swings. He said he intends to try to maintain his timing until then by watching pitc... |
Pence said he was overwhelmed by the amount of support he received after Thursday's game, both from teammates and fans. |
"To me it didn't' feel like it was that big a deal," he said. "It's a bone. I'm not dying ... But still, all the concern felt really good, fan support, it really was pretty special." |
The Giants have options to fill in for Pence in the outfield, including Gregor Blanco, Juan Perez and Justin Maxwell, who is getting a close look in camp. Pence said the Giants have "all the faith in the world" in Blanco, who has stepped up in recent years following injuries to Angel Pagan and the suspension of Melky C... |
Perez is in the lineup Friday in right field, with Blanco in left, for the Giants' game against the Texas Rangers in Surprise, Ariz. Offseason addition Nori Aoki, who has experience as well playing right field, was not making the trip. |
As soon as the pitch from Cubs reliever Corey Black struck him, Pence said, he "had a confident feeling that it wasn't good." But he was staying positive a day later, even going so far as to say he thinks the situation could be "a great blessing. It always finds a way to be that." |
"The saddest part," he added, "is I can't really comb my hair anymore." |
Opinion: Is Hunter Pence’s injury just a bad break for Giants or an omen of things to come in 2015? |
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Friday September 30, 2016 – Conscious-singing reggae artist Etana has come under immense pressure following her endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose statements about minorities have led to a widespread belief that he is a racist. |
Etana, 32, born Shauna McKenzie, is a native of Jamaica and naturalized U.S. Citizen. She told ubiquitous Jamaican journalist and Entertainment Report TV show host, Anthony Miller, that she would be voting for Trump. |
Etana added that she was not a prejudice person and believe in the unification of different races coming into America to build a stronger union. |
Backlash has been far and wide. Many have said that the singer’s stance that singing about roots and culture and yet voting for Trump was not contradictory, is hypocritical. |

CHESTER -- Mr. Moses L. "Jack" Jackson, 66, passed away Sunday, Oct. 26, 2008, at Providence Hospital in Columbia. |
A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday at Barron Funeral Home, with the Rev. Steve Hawkins officiating. The family will receive friends from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. |
Memorials may be made to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 353, Chester, SC 29706. |

OPINION: Will a GECAS sale be ‘Guinness Peat 2.0’? |
Over 20 years since Guinness Peat Aviation s collapse became a defining moment in the aircraft leasing industry, the prospect of General Electric hiving off the world s largest lessor, GECAS, could do the same. |

Under the banner of the financial crisis, recent months have seen management threaten departments and jobs in post-92 and Russell group universities alike. Although no clear national pattern of cuts has emerged, philosophy has been singled out by several institutions. Threats to philosophy at Liverpool and King's Colle... |
The decision to cut philosophy at Middlesex appears not to be motivated by any of the "obvious" reasons: economic rationale, falling student numbers or poor research standing. Middlesex philosophy has one of the largest MA programmes in the country, has experienced increasing postgraduate recruitment, and was the highe... |
Middlesex philosophy has been responsible for bringing contemporary thinkers to a wide audience through numerous international events and collaborations with European and American institutions, as well as cultural venues in London, such as the French Institute and Tate Britain. The postgraduate centre for research in m... |
There has been a slew of articles on Comment is Free in recent days lamenting the poor showing of women and ethnic minorities in philosophy and at philosophy-related events (Bidisha, Julian Baggini, Hilary Lawson). Middlesex is one of the few departments whose curriculum addresses this imbalance as a problem for and wi... |
The closure of philosophy at Middlesex will send a terrible message: that philosophy doesn't belong in ex-polytechnics, even when they achieve better results than elite institutions. It implies that philosophy isn't for "non-traditional" students (much of Middlesex's intake comes from lower-income and mature students, ... |
Interest in philosophy has in fact grown massively in recent years. This is, in part, due to the increased numbers of students taking A-level philosophy, but is also the result of the widespread desire for critical thought and analysis in the face of an increasingly disorienting world. Closure at Middlesex would be a s... |
The PlayStation 4 is like the video-game character that can’t be defeated. |
Five years after its debut, Sony’s $300 console is enjoying one of the strongest product cycles seen in the business, thanks to a steady stream of popular game titles. That’s helped the Tokyo-based company ship twice as many PS4s as Microsoft’s Xbox One, even without relying on its usual tempo of price cuts. |
That puts Sony’s franchise in a strong position to counter the $34.6bn console industry’s next challenge: games delivered via the web. After years of predictions that cloud-based gaming would make hardware - machines and games on discs - obsolete, the technology finally appears close to being ready. |
Google’s Project Stream this month began letting US users play the latest version of Assassin’s Creed on a Chrome browser from any computer. Amazon.com, which bought gameplay-streaming website Twitch and has the No. 1 cloud-computing service, is in a prime position to push into cloud gaming. |
Microsoft isn’t sitting still, either. From next year, the software maker’s Project xCloud will use the company’s global cloud network Azure to stream and play high-end games, on “any device.” Early impressions of Google’s Project Stream have been favorable, with users saying that the experience comes close to playing ... |
For now, Sony’s dominance in consoles - 84 million PS4s versus 39 million for Xbox One — is paying off. Analysts estimate the company is on-track to post operating profit of ¥790bn in the current fiscal year. Last month’s PS4 exclusive title Spider-Man, which set company sales records, will provide the largest contribu... |
For the upcoming holiday quarter, the PlayStation 4 boasts its strongest video-game lineup in years. The PS4’s dominance over Xbox One means most gamers will buy and play blockbuster titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on Sony’s console. Even its virtual-reality business is getting a boos... |
Game titles, which typically make up 80% of the industry’s total revenue, are key to the PS4’s longevity. Sony has cut the price of its flagship console by just 25% since 2013, compared with reductions of at least 50% seen for previous consoles at the same point in their life cycle. With more room to lower prices and a... |
The big question is whether PS4’s successor will be designed to embrace cloud gaming, include handheld gaming, move deeper into virtual and augmented reality - or all of the above. Sony has yet to set a date for what will presumably be called the PlayStation 5. |
One thing that gaming analysts and experts agree on is that the next-generation console will probably be backward-compatible, meaning users will be able to play PS4 games, and vice-versa. That will create a smoother transition, helping to keep gamers within Sony’s ecosystem and away from cloud-gaming rivals. |
“If I already have a ton of games linked to my account with all my trophies and saves, the last thing I want is to abandon it all and move to another platform,” said Damian Thong, an analyst at Macquarie. |
Given that cloud gaming has been one of Sony’s weak points, it’s more likely that the company will continue to focus on hardware or look to tie-up with Amazon, which has yet to announce its cloud gaming offering. After rolling out its PlayStation Now platform in 2014, the online service has mostly failed to gain tracti... |
Facebook announced earlier that it intends to buy Oculus VR, the maker of Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset for $2 billion in cash and stock. Why though? |
NEW YORK (TheStreet) Facebook (FB - Get Report) announced earlier that it intends to buy Oculus VR, the maker of Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset for $2 billion in cash and stock. Why though? What does the world's largest social network and a virtual reality company have in common? |
Both companies share the same vision on communication driving new platforms, and both parties want to contribute to a more open and connected world. The best way to further that is with virtual reality. |
We started Oculus with a vision of delivering incredible, affordable, and ubiquitous consumer virtual reality to the world. We've come a long way in the last 18 months: from foam core prototypes built in a garage to an incredible community of active and talented developers with more than 75,000 development kits ordered... |
A few months ago, Mark, Chris, and Cory from the Facebook team came down to visit our office, see the latest demos, and discuss how we could work together to bring our vision to millions of people. As we talked more, we discovered the two teams shared an even deeper vision of creating a new platform for interaction tha... |
Today, we're pleased to announce that we've joined forces with Facebook to create the best virtual reality platform in the world. |
At first glance, it might not seem obvious why Oculus is partnering with Facebook, a company focused on connecting people, investing in internet access for the world and pushing an open computing platform. But when you consider it more carefully, we're culturally aligned with a focus on innovating and hiring the best a... |
Most important, Facebook understands the potential for VR. Mark and his team share our vision for virtual reality's potential to transform the way we learn, share, play, and communicate. Facebook is a company that believes that anything is possible with the right group of people, and we couldn't agree more. |
Over the next 10 years, virtual reality will become ubiquitous, affordable, and transformative, and it begins with a truly next-generation gaming experience. This partnership ensures that the Oculus platform is coming, and that it's going to change gaming forever. |
We'll see you in the Metaverse! |
There have been close calls as of late. Five of the last seven games were decided by 10 points or fewer. |
The last two times the games were in Lexington, they went to overtime. |
In fact, the streak gets even lengthier when you consider that the Cats haven't beaten the Volunteers in Commonwealth Stadium since 1981. |
Phillips didn't want to discuss the decades of futility on Monday. |
"I'm not going to talk about the streak," the UK coach said, almost as if discussing a living, breathing thing. "I'll talk about the goal of ours to win the last game." |
Tennessee Coach Derek Dooley shook off talk of the streak, as well. |
"Our focus this week is Kentucky," he said. "I know a lot of people are going to want to change the focus away from Kentucky to other things like streaks and bowls and all that." |
But now that Kentucky's other streak of five straight bowl trips has ended, the losing streak versus the Vols is the one the Cats (4-7, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) are most eager to talk about. |
Before the scoreboard lights were turned off on UK's 19-10 loss at Georgia, which ended the bowl streak Saturday, Raymond Sanders was discussing the UT dominance. |
When asked how Kentucky would motivate itself this week, he didn't blink. |
"We end the streak," Sanders said. "That's the goal. It's got to end this year. We've got to come out playing like we did today and put an end to it." |
Senior linebacker Ronnie Sneed said Saturday's game against the Volunteers means everything. |
"We still get to end the Tennessee streak, and that's our main thing we're going to focus on this week," he said. "This is basically our bowl game when you look at it and we're going to come out swinging." |
The game has importance beyond the streak for the Tennessee players, who are one win away from being bowl eligible themselves. |
"It's going to make them come out and play hard, and it's going to make it that much tougher of a game for us," offensive lineman Stuart Hines said. "We're going to come out and prepare our best this week and be ready because they have a lot to play for, as well." |
Some Cats admitted that it would be a bonus to beat Tennessee (5-6, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) and end its bowl hopes on Saturday. |
"It's a really good opportunity to win, but you get to keep them from some of their goals while achieving ours," senior defender Anthony Mosley said. "It's a really huge game. It's a big opportunity." |
Frank Lampard will never forget the day he was singled out at a West Ham fans' forum and told he was only at the club because his dad was assistant manager. |
Lampard is expected to become the eighth England player to reach 100 caps in the crucial World Cup qualifier with Ukraine in Kiev. |
The doubts expressed so early in his career have all been answered. |
But Lampard has never forgotten them, especially one particular afternoon when he accompanied then manager Harry Redknapp to a fans' forum in Romford and found himself the subject of a pointed attack from the relative of a player who had just been released. |
