Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is not associated with early postoperative radiation therapy.
Journal Article
OBJECTIVE: To compare open radical prostatectomy (RP) and robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), and to determine whether RALP is associated with a higher risk of features that determine recommendations for postoperative radiation therapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients undergoing RP from 2003 to 2007 were stratified into two groups: open RP and RALP. Preoperative (PSA level, T stage and Gleason score), pathological factors (T stage, Gleason score, extracapsular extension [ECE] and the status of surgical margins and seminal vesicle invasion [SVI]) and early treatment with RT or referral for RT within 6 months were compared between the groups. Multivariate analysis was used to control for selection bias in the RALP group. RESULTS: In all, 904 patients were identified; 368 underwent RALP and 536 underwent open RP (retropubic or perineal). Patients undergoing open RP had a higher pathological stage with ECE present in 24.8% vs 19.3% in RALP (P = 0.05) and SVI in 10.3% vs 3.8% (P < 0.001). In the RALP vs open RP group, there were positive surgical margins in 31.5% vs 31.9% (P = 0.9) and there were postoperative PSA levels of (3) 0.2 ng/mL in 5.7% vs 6.3% (P = 0.7), respectively. On multivariate analysis to control for selection bias, RALP was not associated with indication for RT (odds ratio (OR) 1.10, P = 0.55), or referral for RT (OR 1.04, P = 0.86). CONCLUSION: RALP was not associated with an increase in either indication or referral for early postoperative RT.

National Power, the UK's top energy firm, has established shadow
communications teams ahead of its demerger into two separate
The utility plans to split into nPower, controlling UK retail markets
and its 15 UK power stations, and International Power, which will run
foreign power stations. Management teams for the two entities were
announced last week, ahead of a split expected to take effect in the
next financial year.
Company secretary Andrew Swanson, to whom the firm's communications head
Andy Roe reports, is working with the personnel department to divide the
eight-strong in-house and four-strong investor relations teams. Although
junior staff are thought to have been allocated roles, it is understood
the two team heads have not yet been appointed.
A spokesman for the company said it was too early to predict the
communications outcome of the demerger, but confirmed shadow teams had
been formed to assume responsibility when it becomes official.
Discussions on NP's PR agencies are at an earlier stage. Bell Pottinger
Consultants, Bell Pottinger Public Affairs and Smithfield Financial are
all still advising the board on the communications, regulatory and
financial implications of demerging a company with a market
capitalisation of over pounds 6 billion.

the 'za of the week (jan 13 – jan 19)
Mare requested that I make this week's 'za with pita. These were some deluxe little pies. We made them based on the style of chicken carbonara, and they came out great.
We used six pieces of pita.
They were stacked high with delicious toppings.
This is how it went down:
- Pita
- Marinara sauce
- Parmesan cheese
- Italian cheese blend
- Sliced white mushrooms
- Fried garlic
- Seasoned chicken
- Sliced red onions
- One slice of bacon per pita
- A sliced jalapeño on mine
- More cheese on top to keep it together
The oven was preheated at the usual temperature of 450°F. One pan had four pitas, and another had two. They were both baked for seven minutes each. The crusts for the pan with two came out much crispier then the pan with the four. It all depends on how crispy you want your crust. If the pan with four was baked for the usual ten minutes, then the pitas would have been as crispy as the pan with two.
Be careful with them though. Baking them for too long will burn the pitas. I usually judge how done a pie is by how melted the cheese is. When the cheese turns brown on the crust and where it was sprinkled thin on top, then I know the pie is pretty much done.
The combination of all of these flavors was unique and intense. The onions did not cook as well as they usual do on fresh dough, so they were a bit prevalent. Overall though, these pita pizzas made a delicious and memorable dinner.

Kathy Griffin wins an Emmy and is then censored for her remarks about Jesus.
"A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus...Suck it, Jesus. This award is my God now."
The Catholic League complained, the TV Academy and E drop her comments, and nobody cares - except the Christians.
The ball is now in Griffin's court. The self-described 'complete militant atheist' needs to make a swift and unequivocal apology to Christians. If she does, she will get this issue behind her. If she does not, she will be remembered as a foul-mouthed bigot for the rest of her life."
Our newest blogroll member, Caption Joe of The Rad Guy Blog, covered the story too.

Kathy Griffin Talks Money, and She Finally Reveals Some of Her Secrets
All of us have grown to appreciate and love Kathy Griffin for the amazing comedian she is and who has dedicated so much of her time to entertain us for so many years. And when it comes to handling money, you'd be surprised to know that Kathy, who has won both Emmy as well as Grammy awards in her career, is one of the most responsible celebrities we know.
Thanks to an interview which Griffin gave to Michael Ian Black as a guest in one of his podcasts, we have become aware of the amazing ways in which Griffin deals with her finances to ensure a secure future for herself, and we are going to share the same with you so that you too can adopt the same practices in your life.
No Mortgage
While many may argue that the only way Griffin has been able to afford her 13000 sq. ft. property without securing a mortgage is due to the fact that she had that kind of money already in the bank, but many people still opt for mortgages even if they are able to make an upfront payment for a house simply because of lower cash commitments.
This Bel Air property cost Griffin around $10.5 million and it may not have been hers right now had she secured it via a mortgage, considering the shock received by her finances due to the immense controversy she was the center of back in 2017.
The Valuable Lessons Taught By Her Mother
If you are able to afford something, that does not mean you should spend on it, at least according to Maggie Griffin, Kathy's mother who is now 98 years of age and one of the sources behind her financial wisdom. But what inspired Maggie to save up money?
According to reports, it seems that Maggie came to know of a story describing an aged woman and how she lost all that she owned, eventually being forced to consume cat food. As she did not want herself to face the same outcome, Maggie decided to save up enough money in the bank in case things went south, and has imbued her daughter with the same habit as well.
Striking a Balance
With Kathy, living a frugal lifestyle does not mean that you have to cause yourself inconvenience. It simply means that you have to spend where necessary and save where possible. For example, Kathy sometimes has to use a private plane for her traveling needs, which is obviously a very expensive option. However, it is also an unavoidable expense, and so she does not feel too bad bearing it.
But, when it comes to the food she has on these private flights which, as you may know, does cost a lot of money, Kathy sometimes brings her own from home, thereby saving herself a few thousand dollars. She maintains this basic principle in all that she does in her life, thereby saving money without causing herself any additional stress.

Meatless alternatives are on the rise, but so is global meat consumption
One of the dangers investors is looking at the world with blinders on because it means missing the larger picture. For example, if we were to look at the recent stock price success of Beyond Meat, a new constituent in the Tematica Research Cleaner Living index, and chatter over the expanding reach of Impossible Foods, one might think the world was no longer interesting in meat.
To the contrary, we are continuing to see the tailwind of our New Global Middle-Class investing them spur demand for the protein complex.
When it comes to the burgers or steaks on your plate, looks and tastes can be deceiving as "meatless meat" and "plant-based meat" gain traction.
Sales of meat alternative grew 30% in 2018 compared to the previous year, according to Nielsen Product Insider.
While the alternative meat market could grow to be worth $140 billion globally in the next ten years, according to Barclays, it's still a small percentage of the current $1.4 trillion global meat market which is also showing no signs of slowing down.
Still, the demand for alternatives has increased.
Despite the trend in eating plant-based "meat," global consumption for meat is still on the rise, driven in part by countries like China and Brazil which saw a massive increase in recent decades.
The average person in China, for instance, went from consuming just nine pounds of meat per year in 1961, to 137 pounds per year in 2013, according to The Economist.
"As countries get wealthier, there's a tendency to eat more meat as a sign of wealth, as a sign of like, 'I can afford it,'" said Lily Ng, CEO of Foodie, a food magazine and online platform based in Hong Kong.
Globally, the average amount of meat consumption has nearly doubled over the past 50 years.
Although, countries including the U.S. and the U.K. may have reached a so-called "Meat Peak" — which means total meat consumption has hit a peak and declined slightly recently. In addition to that, one in three people in the U.K. says they've stopped or cut down on eating meat, according to a survey by Waitrose supermarket.

After years of growth, Chinese tourism to the US falls
The impact of the slowing global economy and current trade war can be found in a number of places. The most common is the equity markets, which have seen their 2019 gains recede. We've also seen US retailers report dismal quarterly results of late, with falling same-store comparisons. But another victim has been China led tourism to the U.S., which historically has brought Chinese consumers looking to snap up branded US goods as part of our Living the Life investing theme.
While the latest data shows a drop in 2018, so far this year US-China trade tensions have increased dramatically complete with another round of tariff increases on both sides. This combination is likely to divert Chinese travelers to the US yet again this year searching for luxury goods that are not impacted by trade tariffs. This suggests that at least one of several drivers of the challenging environment for US retailers is poised to continue.
Chinese tourism to the U.S. was down in 2018 for the first time since 2003 as the trade war between the two countries rages on.
According to a report in the AP, citing the National Travel and Tourism Office, travel from China to the U.S. declined 5.7 percent to 2.9 million visitors last year, marking the first year-over-year decline since 2003. Tensions between China and the U.S. was cited as one of the reasons fewer tourists are visiting.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump slapped tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese products coming into the U.S. The White House also blacklisted Huawei, the Chinese telecom player, preventing it from doing business in the country. China has retaliated with its own tariffs on $60 billion of U.S. products coming into China. The report noted that in the summer of 2018, China issued a travel warning, urging its citizens to be careful due to shootings, robberies and costly medical care in the U.S. The U.S. countered with its own travel warning for U.S. citizens visiting China.
In addition to the trade war, the AP reported that economic concerns on the part of Chinese consumers are limiting travel to the U.S. Chinese citizens with less income are opting to vacation closer to home, noted Wolfgang Georg Arlt, the director of the Chinese Outbound Tourism Research Institute. The research firm said 56 percent of travelers leaving China in the last 90 days of 2018 were headed for Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan, up from 50 percent in 2017. The Chinese consumers that are venturing farther are visiting exotic places including Croatia, Morocco and Nepal.
Industry watchers said the decline in Chinese tourism to the U.S. isn't likely to last for long, as the middle class in China is expected to continue to grow. The U.S. expects Chinese tourism to increase by 2 percent in 2019, reaching 3.3 million visitors. By 2023, the U.S. government expects that will increase to 4.1 million visitors. "Even if the Chinese economy cools, it's still going to continue to be a very good source of growth for the travel industry," said David Huether, senior vice president of research for the U.S. Travel Association.

Latin American Broadband Penetration to Cross Over 50% by 2020
In the United States over 80% of households enjoy broadband internet access, a fact that many of us take for granted and as we stream media to our TV's and other devices and install IoT devices in an attempt to achieve the perfectly "connected home". Of course, no country has reached the heights of South Korea when it comes to broadband penetration — crossing over 100% as of the end of 2017.
When it comes to Latin America, the penetration of broadband has lagged the rest of the world; however that is changing:
Latin America's broadband penetration reached 45 per cent of households in 2018 from a previous 43 per cent in 2017. Going forward, 10 million new accesses are expected within two years and internet household penetration will reach 50 per cent of households in 2020, according to GlobalData, a data and analytics company.Ivan Maldonado, Technology Analyst at GlobalData commented, "The total number of fixed broadband household penetration will rise 2 per cent or 5 million broadband connections in 2019, driven by telecommunication operators, reaching a household penetration of 47 per cent for the same period."
Source: Analyst: LatAm broadband penetration at 50% by 2020 |
The expansion of broadband access across Latin America is a strong tailwind not only for our Digital Infrastructure theme, for also for our New Global Middle Class investment theme, which focuses on areas around the world where rising disposable incomes are driving demand for a host of products and services. And of course, with more disposable income and an improved digital infrastructure, this development also provides a tailwind for companies such as Netflix (NFLX), Disney (DIS) and Amazon (AMZN) that are riding the Digital Lifestyle tailwinds.
Ep 100: A Thematic Look at This Weeks' Earnings Reports
As we get ready for more than 685 companies to report their March quarter results this week, there are apt to be a number of key data points for our Digital Infrastructure, Digital Lifestyle, Rise of the New Middle Class, Guilty Pleasures and Cleaner Living investing themes. On this episode of the Cocktail Investing Podcast, we walk through which ones we'll be digging into with respect to those themes and the other 5 investing themes. You may think smokes and beer, but when Altria (MO), Boston Beer (SAM), Starbucks (SBUX), Nokia and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) report, our thematic lens sees data, data, data and more data.
Coming into the week, roughly 15% of the S&P 500 companies have reported, which means the vast majority will be doing so on the coming weeks. As we close this week, 45% of the S&P 500 will have shared their March quarter results and updated their guidance, which will set the stage for what's to come at us in the following weeks. We also get our first look at March quarter GDP this week, and based on the data had during the quarter, there is no question it will show a slowing US economy compared to the second half of 2018. Even so, it's going to look better on a relative basis to the other three global economic horsemen that are China, Japan and the eurozone.

Why Goldman Sachs Is Interested in a Small Bike Shop in Mexico – WSJ
Goldman Sach's (GS) recent move into the more entrepreneurial side of Mexico via a credit line of up to $100 million to a four-year old fintech firm (Creditjusto) that specializes in making 3-year loans to small businesses is yet another aspect of our Rise of the New Middle Class. Advances in both technology and in finance are enabling individuals and small companies in emerging markets to access resources that had been previously completely unobtainable. This is allowing for access to the tools of wealth creation across a wider range of society, providing a tailwind for our Rise of the New Middle-Class Investing theme.
According to a recent WSJ article,
The bulk of lending by Mexican banks targets large corporations, home mortgages and consumers, according to the Bank of Mexico. More than 80% of Mexican small businesses rely primarily on supplier financing, not bank credit, Banxico said.
This is changing however, fueling the fires of innovation and entrepreneurship in countries in which such growth was limited.
A host of new online lending platforms and supply-chain financing services have popped up in recent years in Mexico to help fill the void, said Andres Fontao, a co-founder and managing partner of Finnovista, a firm that advises fintech startups.
As companies like Creditjusto expand, offering needed capital to fund growth, so will Mexico's Middle Class. As the Wall Street Journal points out,
Goldman's involvement is a reminder of how small fintech companies are challenging and reshaping the banking industry, especially in developing markets like Latin America.

Slowing growth and rising debt hit China luxury brand sales
Over the last several months, we've received several pieces of data that not only point to a slowing global economy, particularly at Europe and China but also to growing worries over the consumer's ability to spend. We've covered the US data points rather thoroughly on this episode of the Cocktail Investing Podcast as part of our Middle-class Squeeze investing theme. When it comes to China, from the CEIC shows why luxury goods companies associated with our Living the Life investing theme are seeing falling sales. Per the CEIC, China's household debt as a percentage of GDP surged to 53.2% in December, from 36% five years earlier. While that remains below the global average of 62%, it's the pace of growth that has caused concern likely leading to either a re-think or retrenchment in Chinses consumer spending.
Factor in the recent problems associated with Boeing's 737 Max aircraft that are likely to crimp international air travel, and the outlook for luxury goods companies and others associated with our Living the Life investing theme, at least in the near-term, look for less vibrant than they have in several years. Casting a shadow as well is the latest pushout in US-China trade talks that appear to have slipped to June from March/April.
Prada SpA shares fell to the lowest close since 2016 as slower Chinese spending contributed to an unexpected drop in the Italian fashion house's annual profit.
The Hong Kong-listed luxury group attributed a slump in Asia mostly to Chinese tourists reining in spending in Hong Kong and Macau because of the weakness in the yuan. Other luxury brands, including Kering SA's Gucci, have seen the impact of softer buying by Chinese tourists offset by increased spending on the mainland, but Prada failed to get a similar boost from Chinese spending at home, said Citigroup analysts led by Thomas Chauvet.
Prada's China sales were flat for the year, a "significant swing" after a first-half gain of 17 percent, Citigroup said. Monday's stock plunge after the disappointing earnings shaved $864 million off the company's market value.
Chinese consumers have turned more cautious amid the slowest economic expansion in almost three decades and a trade war with the U.S. While cars and iPhones have seen bigger slumps so far, Prada's results could spark worry that China's newly wealthy middle class is scaling back on high-end purchases. For an industry that relies on Chinese demand for 30 percent of $1 trillion in global luxury spending, that's a chilling prospect.

You had me at chicken abnormalities and woody breast meat
Examining revenue growth at chicken-producing companies such as Tyson Foods and Sanderson Farms shows a surge in chicken consumption over the last several years. Some of this has to do with the consumer shift to healthier eating and alternative low-carb lifestyles that focus on protein consumption as well as rising demand associated with our New Global Middle-class investing theme. In a bid to meet demand, chicken producers have sought solutions to grow more birds and make them bigger to render more meat, but there have been abnormalities about these fast-growing birds that are prompting questions. When we hear abnormalities and problems when it comes to the food we eat, we see it as a prompt for consumers to knowingly look for foods that are in line with our Cleaner Living investment theme. We are after all what we eat.
Chicken companies spent decades breeding birds to grow rapidly and develop large breast muscles. Now the industry is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to deal with the consequences ranging from squishy fillets known as "spaghetti meat," because they pull apart easily, to leathery ones known as "woody breast."
The abnormalities pose no food safety risk, researchers and industry officials say. They are suspected side effects of genetic selection that now allows meat companies to raise a 6.3-pound bird in 47 days, roughly twice as fast as 50 years ago, according to the National Chicken Council.
Researchers and breeders are still trying to pin down the exact cause of problems, a Tyson spokesman said. "While there are some factors linked to the occurrence—including bird weight, feed ingredients and the time of year the bird is grown—even a combination of these factors will not necessarily produce the same issues consistently," he said.
That efficiency drive has helped U.S. meat giants such as Tyson Foods., Pilgrim's Pride Corp, Perdue Farms Inc. and Sanderson Farms Inc. produce a record 42 billion pounds of chicken nuggets, tenders and other products in 2018. Now, it's adding an estimated $200 million or more in annual industry expenses to identify and divert breast fillets that are too tough, too squishy or too striped with bands of white tissue to sell in restaurants or grocery stores, according to researchers at the University of Arkansas.
"There is proof that these abnormalities are associated with fast-growing birds," said Dr. Massimiliano Petracci, a professor at the University of Bologna in Italy, who leads a team of researchers investigating the chicken breast problems in breeds used in commercial farms.

Cornerstone laid for High5ive in Kraków
Skanska has laid the cornerstone for its third Kraków office project. "High5ive will be much more than just office buildings. It will become an open, vibrant location available all of Kraków's residents," commented Arkadiusz Rudzki, managing director at Skanska Property Poland, during the ceremony. The cornerstone ceremony was attended by the representatives of the City Council of Kraków, project's architects, as well as academic institutions and Skanska, the project's developer and general contractor. A specially made cylinder, which contained foundation act and was placed in the building's foundations, was transported to the location by a bicycle designed for the event.
Kraków is one of the liveliest cities in Poland. It's student population is the equivalent of the number of residents of Olsztyn or Bielsko-Biała. Over 10,000,000 tourists visit the city each year equating to 13 tourists for every resident. The city's pace of life has inspired Skanska to develop an office project which will combine these different energies that are generated in Kraków: diversity, creativity, city life, happiness and innovation. High5ive will ultimately consist of five modern buildings complementing Pawia Street.
"High5ive is to date Skanska's biggest office project in a regional city. Despite the investment's scale, we have focused on how to appropriately use every square meter – we know how important the area around Pawia Street is for Kraków. Skanska is developing a place which will be full of life and available to both our future tenants and Kraków's residents. Because of this, we invited a local architectural studio and a foundation to co-operate. They will offer excellent advice on the direction of our project. In addition, we are planning numerous events that will engage residents through various activities during the construction works and, of course, after their completion," said Arkadiusz Rudzki, managing director at Skanska Property Poland.
"The High5ive complex will be an architectural gateway to the heart of Kraków and a place that is representative of the city centre. The project will seamlessly fit in with its immediate surroundings such as the main building of the Technical University of Kraków, the elevation of Angel City and other historical buildings. The quality and colour of materials used for the project's façade will match this historical centre's fabric. The urban development will comprise an open and inviting space with people-friendly squares and passages. High5ive will also include a covered passageway that will lead to restaurants, cafeterias, and other places to relax. It will be an important addition to this part of Kraków with its aesthetics, functionality as well as its openness to local residents. It will be a location for work and play attracting companies and passers-by alike," said Piotr Nawara, President at nsMoonStudio.
During the designing of the areas surrounding the investment, the company recruited the help of students from the Technical University of Kraków, Fine Arts Academy, the State Drama School and members of the Foundation of Active Citizens. Photos of representatives from these institutions and other participants from the ceremony, taken with a polaroid camera were placed in the specially made cylinder and laid in the building's foundations. The symbolic cornerstone, in accordance with a Skanska tradition, was transported to its foundation site in an unusual way, this time – by a cargo bicycle, designed specifically for this event.

Have you noticed how the world is becoming totally digital all of a sudden? If you think about it, there really is no need to leave our homes anymore. We have thousands of television channels on tap, we can download music at the click of a button, we can do all our shopping online over the internet, we can chat with other people via email, text, social networking or on 'Skype' and who needs paperbacks anymore? We can download books and read them via e-readers! The only reason to leave our homes now is for different scenery and I'm wondering when that will become simulated – when will we be able to put on a mask, step into a room and suddenly be in virtual Africa? With games such as 'Second Life' (where you create a character, build a life online and are able to communicate with other people all over the world who are also living their 'second lives' in the game), I don't think it will be long.
So is all of this a good thing? Yes, it is convenient. When I first had my son, I used online shopping to do my weekly food shop because it was so much easier then carting a screaming baby around a busy supermarket. The five pounds which it cost me extra was nothing compared to the trouble it saved me. I am also a bit of a social network sucker – I guess if you're reading this, you are too! I think sites such as Facebook and Twitter are great ways to keep in touch with friends and organise get-togethers. However, are these sites destroying our social skills? Gone are the days when we used to pick up a phone and actually speak to a friend or, God forbid, go and SEE them in person – now we simply 'tweet' them. The language we use in these social networking sites and in text messaging is also deteriorating. Standard English is being replaced with numbers and emoticons – I h8 it! :-(. What is this doing to our children? Will they grow up thinking that this type of language is suitable for everyday use and start using it at school? Is it the English language of tomorrow? I saw a child of about six the other day with their own mobile phone – is this really necessary? I really don't think it is.
So by 2050, will we all be sat at home in an armchair with a vacant look on our faces whilst being constantly plugged into a computer? Will robots replace the people needed for manual jobs? Will the sound of children playing ball in the street be a thing of the past? At the rate things are going, who knows. Maybe we should rebel and organise an 'anti-digital day' where we switch off the TV, shove our mobile phones in a drawer, visit friends and send our kids outside to play. What a breath of fresh air that would be!

Gameweek 1 can often make a mockery of our careful Fantasy squad planning. All those hours spent tinkering with formations, reading up on the endless pre-season friendlies and analysing the salient data from the previous campaign can prove to be an exercise in futility when the Premier League season finally gets underway.
It was refreshing, then, to read of the many success stories among the Fantasy Premier League community last weekend and see FPL bosses' groundwork rewarded with scores of approaching – or above – 100 points.
An average Gameweek 1 score of 53 points, although slightly down on last season's opening-weekend mean, was all the more impressive given that there was such uncertainty over several teams' starting XIs following the late return of their respective World Cup players.
While many FPL managers will be content with their lot and perhaps seek to roll a transfer for Gameweek 3, there has nevertheless been significant market activity since the Gameweek 1 deadline passed on Friday.
At the time of writing, eight players have risen in price in the last few days, all of whom delivered attacking returns for their respective clubs. Where there is a rise, there is almost always a fall: five FPL assets have dropped £0.1m as a result of their indifferent starts.
Just over 1.7 million transfers have been made on the ten-most-in demand FPL assets of this Gameweek, with still three days to go until the late-Saturday morning deadline.
A transfer used on a goalkeeper is never the most fulfilling one to make and, unsurprisingly, this market is currently the quietest of the four positions.
The short-termism that is prevalent in defence, midfield and attack is often lacking with the custodians between the sticks, with many FPL bosses having already decided on a set-and-forget option or a policy of rotating two cheap assets on a weekly basis.
Following his clean sheet return at the Emirates and a sea of blue/green on the season ticker ahead of him in the coming half-dozen Gameweeks, Ederson (£5.5m) is the most bought shot-stopper of the round. Having attracted almost 50,000 new owners since Friday night (most of them after full-time at the Emirates on Sunday), Ederson looks set to pass Lukasz Fabianski (£4.5m) this week as the third-most popular FPL goalkeeper: the Brazilian trails West Ham's number one by only 0.1% in the ownership stakes.
Six of the seven most-bought goalkeepers of this round kept clean sheets at the weekend, the exception being the shot-stopper with the second-highest numbers of "transfers in": Ben Hamer (£4.0m).
The Huddersfield goalkeeper got the nod over Jonas Lossl (£4.5m) for the Terriers' opening-day defeat to Chelsea after impressing in pre-season and was the only sub-£4.5m goalkeeper to start over the weekend, making him a viable, budget-freeing substitute option – it is certainly hard to imagine many of his new owners will be fielding Hamer for the trip to the Etihad on Sunday. Whether the former Leicester City custodian will feature long-term for the Terriers is open to debate: Hamer's distribution in the 3-0 loss to Chelsea was poor, though David Wagner's comments after the match suggested Lossl was himself struggling for fitness and form.
Julian Speroni and Artur Boruc, still the two most popular £4.0m-rated goalkeepers in FPL, have suffered a net loss of owners (presumably) as a result.
Joe Hart (£4.5m) and Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) both impressed in the 0-0 draw between Burnley and Southampton at the weekend and have attracted over 28,000 and 27,000 new FPL managers respectively. Hart's security of starts must still be in question, though, with Tom Heaton (£5.0m) fit enough to be on the bench for Sunday's encounter with the Saints.
The two most-owned goalkeepers in the game, David de Gea (£6.0m) and Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) are also the two most-sold assets in their position ahead of Gameweek 2. Those transfers seem somewhat short-sighted, with Manchester United and Everton facing Brighton and Southampton this weekend – both of whom failed to score in Gameweek 1.
Three defenders have already risen in price following their impressive attacking performances at the weekend: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.1m), Benjamin Mendy (£6.1m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m).
Shaw's goal in the 2-1 win over Leicester City on Friday night saw the United left-back instantly become the most-transferred in defender in the run-up to Gameweek 2, though the former Southampton full-back has since been passed by Wan-Bissaka and Mendy following their assists on Saturday and Sunday: the pair have attracted well over 200,000 new owners at the time of writing.
Wan-Bissaka was one of a number of viable £4.0m-rated defensive options available to Fantasy managers before the season had begun, but his assist, clean sheet return and maximum bonus points in the 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday has seen the youngster catapulted to the second most-owned defender in the game: 19.6% of FPL managers own the Palace right-back at the time of writing, with that figure surely set to exceed the 20% mark by the time the Gameweek 2 deadline passes at 11:30 on Saturday morning.
Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m) and Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m) also delivered attacking returns in the victory at Craven Cottage, but they and centre-backs James Tomkins (£4.5m) and Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) have only been collectively bought by 71,900 new managers – around a third of the number that Wan-Bissaka has attracted.
Mendy's premium defender price has not deterred investment in the French left-back, meanwhile, with Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) – still the most popular defender in the game – and Nicolas Otamendi (£6.5m)'s combined 162,000+ sales accounting for a large chunk of Mendy's rise in ownership to just below 15%.
Two assists and a clean sheet for Jose Holebas (£4.5m) in Watford's 2-0 win over Brighton has led to over 122,000 purchases for the veteran left-back, whose Hornets side next face a Burnley team who will have been in Europa League action less than 72 hours before their Sunday meeting.
Away from the form-related transfers – Marcos Alonso (£6.5m), Andrew Robertson (£6.0m) and Jan Vertonghen (£6.0m) being obvious targets – the selection of Ryan Bennett (£4.0m) over Romain Saiss (£4.5m) in the Wolves' defence on Saturday evening has attracted the attention of over 32,000 FPL managers looking for more bargain-basement defensive options that could possibly make a start. The acquisition of Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m), however, means that Bennett could be on borrowed time in the back three.
Phil Jones (£5.4m), missing from the United squad on Friday evening, is the only defender who has dropped in price at the time of writing.
With five price rises and four drops since Friday night, the midfield has been the hottest area of activity since our focus switched to Gameweek 2.
Ruben Neves (£5.1m) is the most-bought player of all so far, attracting almost 260,000 new owners, and joins Richarlison (£6.6m), Sadio Mane (£9.6m), Roberto Pereyra (£6.1m) and Paul Pogba (£8.1m) in seeing an early price increase.
Neves' superb free-kick and assist in the 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday evening were headline-grabbing returns for a midfielder in the budget bracket, though his modest record in the Championship last season (six goals, one assist) still nags in the back of the mind when assessing his FPL worth. That Neves racked up 12 points at Molineux on Saturday without registering a single touch in the Everton penalty area underlines his lack of threat in the box from open play but also his influence on the game from deep regardless.
The sight of Richarlison limping from the field after his brace in that same match hasn't deterred over 161,000 new managers from recruiting the Brazilian. With Southampton the visitors to Goodison Park this weekend, a fit Richarlison is a formidable prospect against a Saints team that conceded 16 shots at home to a Burnley side not renowned for its gung-ho attacking play.
The 12 most-bought midfielders of this round all found the back of the net at the weekend, with N'Golo Kante (£5.0m) among that dozen. Kante's slightly more advanced role in Maurizio Sarri's set-up could be significant this season, with the French midfielder already matching his goal tally for each of the last three campaigns. The former Leicester City man is now the third-most-owned midfielder in FPL, sitting in 21% of squads.
Son Heung-min (£8.4m) is by far the most-sold midfielder of the round, having lost over 150,000 of his owners and dropping £0.1m in price. That the Korean international was in so many teams to begin with is perhaps a surprise, given that it was full knowledge that he would depart for the Asian Games immediately after Gameweek 1. Even more bewilderingly, over 1,450 managers have since drafted him into their squads.
That Son only emerged as an 80th-minute substitute in the win over Newcastle rubbed salt into the wounds of the Fantasy bosses who owned him.
Leroy Sane's (£9.5m) omission from the Manchester City starting XI on Sunday has predictably led to a mass exodus, though more surprising are Kevin De Bruyne's (£10.0m) sales: over 58,700 managers have ditched the Belgian, though that desertion has been off-set by over 26,200 transfers in.
Though De Bruyne started on the bench at the Emirates after his late return from World Cup duty, the Belgian is as nailed a prospect in the City midfield as any of his team-mates: De Bruyne featured in 37 of City's league matches last season, starting all but one of them. No City player in any position made more appearances for the league champions than the former Chelsea and Wolfsburg man.
With Huddersfield to come to the Etihad this weekend, his sellers may rue the decision to ditch him: De Bruyne recorded more assists (18) last season than any Premier League player. A counter-argument to that, of course, is that Riyad Mahrez (£9.0m) may well be sharing set-piece duties with the Belgian this season after featuring prominently at dead-ball situations at the Emirates.
Christian Eriksen (£9.5m) has also lost over 50,000 of his FPL backers, despite creating more chances than any midfielder in the Premier League this weekend. That goalscorer Dele Alli (£9.0m) has attracted almost the same amount of new owners would perhaps suggest that the bulk of those transfers are linked and the managers in question are following the points somewhat.
Cesc Fabregas (£6.4m), Ramadan Sobhi (£4.9m) and Anthony Martial (£7.4m) are the other three players who have experienced a price drop this week.
All quiet on the attacking front this Gameweek, with not a single price rise or fall among FPL forwards.
Five of the most-bought strikers of the week all found the net at the weekend, with Callum Wilson (£6.0m) leading the "transfers in" stakes after attracting over 92,800 new owners.
Wilfred Zaha (£7.0m), Jamie Vardy (£9.0m), Raul Jimenez (£5.5m) and Joselu (£5.0m), each of whom was on target on Friday and Saturday, have all unsurprisingly increased in popularity too.
Manchester City's favourable run of upcoming fixtures has seen plenty of investment in Sergio Aguero (£11.0m), despite the Argentinean forward blanking at the Emirates on Sunday: Aguero has been bought by 64,500 new FPL managers since the Gameweek 1 deadline passed and is now the second-most owned striker in the game, sitting in 32.2% of Fantasy squads.
Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) is still the most popular option in attack with his acquisition (45,990) and sales (44,395) figures effectively cancelling each other out after a so-so five-point return in the 4-0 win over West Ham United.
Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) have each been sold by over 50,000 managers ahead of Gameweek 2, though as we discussed earlier, it may be premature to ditch our big hitters in attack with such favourable fixtures just around the corner.

You're missing out, probably
Nikola Jaksic, U-M class of 2019, offers words of wisdom.
I don't remember every research paper I've ever written, but I do remember working on my oral history project for Professor Stephen Berrey's 1960s class, sitting on the fourth floor of Shapiro, well into my third coffee, scrolling through online archives of student newspapers to find a photo that would serve as a primary source. I remember thinking how much I would've appreciated access to original documents from that turbulent era.
Two years later, I met Julie Herrada, curator of the library's Joseph A. Labadie Collection, which documents social protest movements from the 19th century to the present, and I laughed, regretfully, about the opportunity I'd missed.
I had been interacting with the library — using it as a physical space with a collection, without understanding the full range of its resources — like undergraduates from decades past, when archives, special collections, and library subject specialists were often reserved for graduate student and faculty researchers.
What I'd missed is how the library today gears its resources to helping students succeed, with available-to-all services like Ask a Librarian, and by encouraging undergraduates to make use of special collections, primary sources, and expert assistance.More/Less
At the forefront of this change are collection curators like Herrada.
As curator, Herrada's job is divided among training student employees, working with individual researchers, building and expanding the collection, and helping students and faculty to use the collection. In recent years, she notes an increasing number of undergraduate courses engaging with the Labadie Collection, and a growing tendency for faculty to encourage students to use the collection for their research projects.
This openness — Herrada emphasizes that undergraduates "have as much right to access the materials as anyone" — helps to include students at all levels in the university's research mission, and builds a skill set that will remain relevant beyond academia. Consider: What field in the 21st century doesn't require us to navigate and organize complex information to find meaning and patterns?
There is a learning curve to working with archival materials, and Herrada says students sometimes feel like they aren't "finding the thing they're looking for, or maybe don't know what to look for." Fortunately curators like her can help guide students toward the materials that are most likely to correspond with their research interests, or ones that might spark ideas for a new line of inquiry.
I've thought about how best to encourage students that might be in my shoes — on the 4th floor of Shapiro, scrolling for primary sources — to go forth, set aside anxiety and inhibition, and make use of the vast resources that surround them, but I don't think I'll do better than Herrada, whose work embodies this effort.
"That anxiety you feel should not stop you from your investigation. It should not stop you from your research, your curiosity, or inquiry. We're here to help."
The Special Collections Research Center is the portal to accessing the Joseph A. Labadie collection and other rare, unique, and archival materials. Highlights in our special collections include children's literature, history of astronomy, Islamic manuscripts, screen arts, transportation history, and more.
New browser extension offers easy access
The library is testing out a new browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera that offers quick and easy access to online library resources. Lean Library, a free download, detects whether the library subscribes to a website's contents and provides automatic access (you'll know when the extension icon turns green). If you're off campus, you may need to provide your U-M credentials.
If Lean Library doesn't provide library access, it automatically searches for open-access versions, or provides a link to interlibrary loan so you can request it.
The mobile version of Lean Library is still in development. If you're interested in ready off-campus access to library resources on your phone or tablet, or if you use an unsupported browser, try the library's Proxy Server Bookmarklet.
To provide feedback on this pilot, send email to email@example.com.

Mini grants: what will you do with yours?
The library awards mini grants each year to support undergraduate and graduate students working on projects that make a real-life impact by strengthening community partnerships, enhancing global scholarship, or advocating for diversity and inclusion. Students can receive up to $1,000 for their projects, and they work with a library mentor who helps identify library and campus resources and services.
In 2016, the library awarded a mini grant to a project with an impact lasting beyond the school year.
Students from the organization The Quito Project, mentored by Learning Librarian Gabriel Duque, used their funding to create a two-part, faculty-led workshop to prepare students to teach language abroad and to interact respectfully with the communities they visit. The workshop was open to any student traveling abroad for the purpose of community-engaged education.More/Less
In 2017, the group secured funding from various departments outside the library, and held two more workshops on positive cultural strategies and teaching abroad.
Duque noted that workshops of this kind seemed to be new to campus. "When they started with this, no one was offering something like it," he said. "I think they really hit upon something that was needed."
He must have been right. Now, there's a new student organization that is collaborating with The Quito Project: The Council of Global Student Organizations. CSGO will meet throughout the year to provide learning opportunities to student organizations on engage ethically on their international travels and use the University's global education resources.
The Quito Project used their library mini grant as the foundation for what would become a campus-wide initiative. What will you do with yours? The deadline for the mini grant application is Wednesday, October 16.
For your individual or group project, get up to $1000 and support from a library mentor, who will help you make the most of the library's services, spaces, and collections. The 2019 deadline is October 16.

Other Crusoes, Other Islands
See Other Crusoes, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy in the Audubon Room, Hatcher Gallery | September 16 through December 17
Three hundred years after the publication of Robinson Crusoe, this exhibit draws on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages — one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Crusoe editions, translations, adaptations, and spin-offs — to interrogate the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe's seminal novel, and explore how some have pushed back against the colonialist, hyper-masculine, and racist ethos of the text.
Content advisory: Some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although this exhibit includes children's books and board games, it is not geared towards children.
Circulating the Avant-Gard
See Circulating the Avant-Gard: Aesthetic Counter-Publics in the Little Magazines, 1890-1920 in the Special Collections Research Center, 6th floor Hatcher | though October 3
Advances in color lithography and photo-engraving, richly illustrated "little magazines" flourished between 1890 and 1920. This exhibit showcases their variety, beauty, and originality, and also their distinctive purpose: to create communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels and that transcended national borders.
Instruments of Knowledge
See Instruments of Knowledge: Celebrating the First Moon Landing in the North Lobby, Hatcher | through October 6

More Legal Trouble for Former Principal Cleared in DUI Manslaughter
Former Jay Middle School principal Shane Carroll cannot seem to stay out of trouble when it comes to alcohol and the law. With repeated run-ins with law enforcement in alcohol-related incidents, Carroll may need to consider getting help for an addiction. In the latest incident, Carroll, of Eucha, was found passed out in a vehicle at a car wash around 4:00 p.m. yesterday. Police say a partially empty bottle of vodka was found in the car with him. Carroll was arrested on a complaint of Actual Physical Control of a vehicle (APC) and blood alcohol analysis revealed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.14. Oklahoma DUI law (47 O.S. § 11-902) prohibits having "actual physical control" of a vehicle when one is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This means that if an intoxicated person is in the vehicle and has access to the keys, he or she may be charged with APC even if the person is not driving or operating the vehicle. The penalties for APC are the same as those for DUI. Carroll was booked into the Delaware County jail until he sobered up, then released on an Own Recognizance bond. Later this month, Carroll is due in court on charges of defrauding a restaurant stemming from an incident in September. In this case, he is accused of failing to pay a $94.97 tab at a Bartlesville Buffalo Wild Wings, and telling the manager that if he called police, he would tell them that the manager was serving alcohol to minors. In March, the former principal was found not guilty of first degree manslaughter after a July 2012 DUI boating accident on Grand Lake that claimed the life of his friend, Monte Price. One of the boat's occupants claimed that Carroll was driving the boat when it crashed, but Carroll claimed Price was driving. Read more. An alcohol-related accident claimed the life of his friend, and now he is facing his third criminal case stemming from alcohol abuse. Hopefully, Carroll will use these experiences as wake up calls to get the help he needs in treating an apparent alcohol addiction. Sometimes, a DUI arrest is the result of a driver's lapse in judgment. Often, it is a sign of a more significant problem.

As the Brangelina divorce case takes another shocking turn, it is believed the incident in question involved 15-year-old son Maddox.
Last Wednesday, the Jolie-Pitt family were flying home to the US via a private jet from France, when Brad is said to have become intoxicated mid-flight.
It was then that the Seven actor is reported to have lashed out.
According to TMZ, Brad and Angelina began arguing shortly after take-off and the youngster jumped up to verbally defend his mother.
They then claim, the heart-throb "lunged at Maddox" causing Angelina to "jump in between them to block her husband."
Mail Online claim Brad's argument with his eldest child was the final straw for Angelina, who decided to file for divorce just hours later.
However, a source close to the family says despite reports, Brad never touched his wife or children.
Speaking to The New York Post, the insider said: "He was never physically abusive to her or the kids.
"He did yell at one of their children on the plane during an argument, but he didn't hit the child."
When the jet landed at Minnesota around 8pm, the A-lister is said to be been so "wasted" that he continued to rant on the tarmac before trying to leave in a fuel truck.
It is believed that someone either on the plane or the airport anonymously reported the indecent to the L.A County Department of Children and Family Services.
In a statement, the FBI confirmed they were aware of allegations involving an "aircraft carrying Mr Brad Pitt and his children".
They added: "The FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued."
It had initially been reported that the Los Angeles Police Department [LAPD] were looking into the allegations.
However, as the incident happened while mid-air, the FBI took over due to policing protocol.
Meanwhile, a source close to the Oceans 11 actor told TMZ: "He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children.
"It's unfortunate that people involved are continuing to present him in the worst possible light."
Angelina shocked the world when she filed for divorce from the actor after two years of marriage and 12 years together.
In divorce documents, the Tomb Raider beauty cited irreconcilable differences and has asked for full custody of their six children.
The 41-year-old is said to have been angered by her husband's relationship with Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard.
Brad is believed to have grown close to the star during the early part of this year as they filmed upcoming flick Allied.
However Marion, who is pregnant with her second child to Guillaume Canet, has fiercely denied any romantic involvement with Brad.
On the morning of September 22, the 40-year-old took to Instagram to lash out at the claims before wishing that Brad and Angelina "find piece in this very tumultuous moment".
