    Talking New England Revolution with the Bent Musket – Brotherly Game

    - July 18, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    1.) New England Revolution is not playing as poorly as they did during their CCL collapse in March/April, but they arent demonstrating a consistent string of results either. How would you categorize the teams form right now?

    I think frustrating is the word that comes to mind but I also dont think this Revs season was unexpected to a degree at least as far as the inconsistency. Yes, the CCL collapse against Pumas stung and the Revs have let other results slip away including that 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union in late May where the Revs put up a 3.0 xG on 4 of 22 shooting and only scored via a penalty and gave up an equalizer moments later.

    The 10-game unbeaten streak was nice however even though it had more draws than wins in it. The Revs were always going to have some sort of transition midseason with their outgoing players and Ive always maintained the Revs were playing a split season in 2022. The first half was all about the CCL run and the second half was getting new players acclimated for a playoff run. New England was never going to maintain their Shield winning form and win every game by one goal, but while I think this is a playoff team, it is a little disappointing for the Revs to currently be on the outside looking in at the halfway mark even if New England is still within striking distance of 4th place and a home game in November.

    2.) Without Adam Buksa and Matt Turner, who are the next men up? How is the team adapting without two stars?

    Well, I can tell everyone that we are all just wicked excited for Djordje Petrovic in goal. In just a few short weeks the Serbian international signed from Cukaricki already has a highlight reel full of ridiculous double saves and a couple of standout performances against NYCFC in both Open Cup and league play. As far as shot stoppers go, Petrovic is already pretty darn good and is only going to get better. Yes, distribution wise hes made a few mistakes being too aggressive going forward with the ball that have led to costly turnovers but you can see the talent and potential he already has.

    Albanian international Giacomo Vrioni is still sorting out his visa paperwork but when he does join up with the Revs as a DP it will be to take over as the #9 in Adam Buksas role. Vrioni already has the resume of an established goal scorer and hes not just an aerial threat either. The other newcomer is Colombian Dylan Borrero as a U22 Initiative signing who is also settling in quite nicely into the starting lineup. Not entirely a like for like Tajon Buchanan replacement, but pretty close, I think Borrero is a little more natural in the middle of the field but the ability to just beat someone in space is something the Revs did miss early in the year. Really excited to see how he and Sebastian Lletget combine tactically in the attacking midfield on either side of Carles Gil in a role that isnt quite a shuttling center mid nor an always stay wide winger but somewhere in between.

    3.) What do the Revs look like going into the back half of the season? Are they a playoff contender?

    Playoff contender, yes. MLS Cup contender however depends on how much Vrioni adds up front and if the Revs make any other additions. New England did well to secure the Petrovic and Borrero signings before the end of the offseason window and were able to quickly secure Vrioni at the beginning of July to replace Buksa, but if the Revs are going to win that elusive MLS Cup theyll need to spend the next few months building up their chemistry and form for a big playoff run. We saw NYCFC kind of underachieve in the regular season last year but their talent carried them to the Cup and theres no reason to think the Revs couldnt do something similar.

    The reigning league MVP in Carles Gil, big time golazo machine Gustavo Bou, a cast of talented newcomers, one of the best fullback duos in the league in DeJuan Jones and Brandon Bye, and veterans like Polster, Farrell, McNamara, and Boateng absolutely have the talent to pull this off. Winning the Shield in record fashion last year was not a fluke, the core of this Revs team is talented and the pieces theyve replaced have already shown to have a lot of potential. Its up to Bruce Arena and the rest of the coaching/front office staff to get this squad to realize that full potential because this championship window is about as open as its going to be but the new look Revs model as a selling team makes it difficult to maintain regular season form if a couple of major pieces get sold every couple of summers. New England is making strides to catch up to the rest of the league as far as DP spending and their new training ground, but the playoffs will always be such a crapshoot so at this point Ill take a meh regular season and a barnstorming Cup run for 2022.

    4.) Are there any notable injuries? What are your score/lineup predictions?

    No injuries and only Andrew Farrell out on red card suspension so Jon Bell gets the start. Matt Polster came on as a second half sub at Yankee Stadium and could be in line for his first start since his return from injury.

    4-2-3-1: Petrovic; Jones, Bell, Kessler, Bye; Kaptoum, Polster; Borrero, Gil, Lletget; Bou

    Maybe the best lineup available for the Revs currently though that other CDM spot next to Polster has been in flux this year. The Revs need a rebound game and play the Union well but at best this is a 1-1 draw though with the form Philly is in Petrovic standing on his head might not be enough.

    Predicting the final 2022 SEC standings – Good Bull Hunting

    - July 18, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Were only one business day away from SEC Media Days, so that means it must be football season, right? Maybe not, but being out of season has never stopped me from talking about football. With that in mind, I sat down and did my first ever very unofficial SEC season predictions.

    For this exercise, I didnt just pick numbers at random, I went through and picked a winner for each game on the schedule, and these are the results.

    Not exactly a bold prediction here, but I think the Tide are ready to go on a roll after embarrassingly losing two whole games in 2021. They take their nearly 90% blue chip ratio, finish undefeated and win the West, as is tradition. Eat at Arbys.

    Obviously if Bama goes undefeated, that means the Aggies one loss is the Crimson Tides revenge game in Tuscaloosa. In most of my season predictions Ive tried to be more conservative and say that A&M will drop one other game along the way and go 10-2, but when it came down to choosing individual games, I just couldnt resist putting A&M on top in every game but one. The Ags finish second in the West for the third time in five years and set themselves up nicely for a New Years Six Bowl (and a very outside chance at a Playoff spot if some weirdness happens).

    Arkansas is a team thats very hard to predict. They had an outstanding 2021 season, but lost a fair amount of production with several super seniors and WR Treylon Burks. They also return QB KJ Jefferson and made some good additions in the portal, including Bama LB Drew Sanders. But the Hogs schedule is brutal, opening the season by hosting Cincinnati before traveling to BYU later in the season, in addition to their SEC West slate. I have them losing to A&M and Bama, and also dropping the game in Provo to BYU (who I think could be a darkhorse playoff contender in 2022).

    Ole Miss is coming off a fantastic 2021, but has a lot of turnover entering 2022. They replaced Matt Corral and Jerrion Ealy via the portal with Jaxson Dart (elite QB name) from USC and Zach Evans from TCU. But perhaps more importantly, lost both coordinators (Lebby to OU, Durkin to A&M). I think that lack of continuity could cost them some close games, and the way the schedule falls, I have them starting 8-0 only to drop each of their last four games to A&M, Bama, Arkansas and (miserably for Rebel fans), the Egg Bowl to Mississippi State.

    Bulldog fans may end up viewing this as a disappointment, especially since they lead the SEC in returning production. But having a letdown when expectations seem to be highest is vintage Mike Leach. Theyll take down LSU, Auburn and Ole Miss (which may salvage their season emotionally, at least), but lose their remaining SEC games, which includes a pretty brutal stretch that sees them host A&M and Arkansas before road games at Kentucky and Alabama. Oh and throw Georgia in there for good measure.

    Brian Kellys first season in Baton Rouge falls about as flat as his attempted southern accent. The Tigers will get off to a promising 4-1 start, including wins over Florida State and Auburn, but an absolute gauntlet looms in the back half of the year: Tennessee, at Florida, Ole Miss, Alabama, at Arkansas, UAB, at A&M. I think they lose a couple and then the snowball effect has them Texas-ing this thing to bowl ineligibility despite a talented roster.

    Goodnight, Bryan Harsin. Auburn brings back Tank Bigsby, but outside of that this may be the least talented squad theyve had there in quite some time, especially after losing Bo Nix to the transfer portal and signing the 9th-best class in the conference. At least Vanderbilt is there to keep them from going winless in conference play for the first time since the Gene Chizik era.

    Much like Bama in the West, Georgia continues their run of dominance. Especially since their West foes this year are Auburn and Mississippi State, its hard to see anyone posing too much of a challenge, though I think Tennessee and Kentucky have a chance.

    Despite losing to Alabama and Georgia, the Vols run the rest of the table and get to their first 10-win season since the Phil Fulmer era. With Hendon Hooker leading Josh Huepels offense, I think Tennessee has the firepower to keep up with almost anyone this season. Hopefully their defense (90th in college football) can improve enough to make that a reality.

    The fact that some people in Lexington will view this as a disappointment shows how far Mark Stoops has taken this program since he took over in 2013. I have the Wildcats starting the season 6-1 (dropping the game vs. Ole Miss) before losing two of their final five games (vs. Tennessee and Georgia). The good news? Theyre about to have a two-game win streak over Florida for the first time in almost 50 years.

    Florida is one of the harder teams to predict this season. After a very subpar 2021, Billy Napier comes to Gainesville from Lafayette hoping to right the ship. With a 60% blue chip ratio, they still have the talent to compete, and that alone may win them a few games, but I think its too soon to expect them to seriously contend. The Gators will have an inauspicious start to the season, going 1-3 against Utah, Kentucky, USF (W) and Tennessee, but will win six of their final eight games (losing only to Georgia and A&M), capping off the season with a win over rival FSU for the fourth straight year.

    I like what Shane Beamer is doing in Columbia, but they probably overachieved a bit when they went 7-6 (including a bowl win over North Carolina). But their schedule is a beast. In addition to the SEC East foes, they get A&M and Arkansas from the West, and of course finish the season with what I believe will be a Clemson teams that returns to contender status. I think they lose those games, as well as to Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia.

    I want to believe in Mizzou, but the cards seem to be stacked against them this year, especially after losing QB Connor Bazelak to the transfer portal (now at Indiana). Sadly, the only Power 5 team I see them beating this year is Vanderbilt. Their projected win total this year is around 5.5, so I guess give me the under.

    Ah, Vandy. Its just so hard to see them doing anything meaningful in the SEC, even though guys like Derek Mason and James Franklin have gotten them to respectability a few times in the past decade. But the Dores havent won a conference game sine 2019, and I dont see that changing this year.

    Fire burns sheds, mill in Berks; fireworks may have played part – 69News WFMZ-TV

    - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    WASHINGTON TWP., BERKS COUNTY - Fireworks may have played a part in an early Tuesday fire that burned several sheds, a camper and an old saw mill, officials said.

    Eastern Berks Fire Department and neighboring stations were dispatched at 1:56 a.m. to a report of sheds on fire in the 300 block of Lenape Road, according to Eastern Berks spokesman Paul Bartlett.

    Eastern Berks Deputy Chief Chris Schaeffer arrived at the scene and reported multiple sheds on fire and called for two more tankers, Bartlett said.

    Firefighters arrived and knocked down the blaze in about two hours. A tanker fill site was established by Engine 19 at the Eastern Berks station in Bechtelsville. Fire police controlled traffic around the scene.

    Eastern Berks Fire Chief Mike Mutter said the homeowner said he was setting off fireworks earlier in the evening.

    But Mutter also said questionable electrical hook ups were found to each of the buildings involved with the fire.

    So its hard to tell what the cause and origin was completely, due to the severity of the damage, a statement said. Either way, it was something of the homeowners doing and only affected his property.

    Other fire departments responding were Boyertown, Hereford, Earl, Topton, Pennsburg, Gilbertsville and New Hanover, along with Bally Medics.

    NIO Stock News: Nio sheds over 6% despite the rebound – FXStreet

    - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Update: NIO stock price reversed the previous days gains to hit fresh three-week lows at $20.26 before recovering slightly to settle at $20.83. Despite the rebound, the shares of the Chinese Electric Vehicle (EV) makers lost 6.09% on the day. NIO stock price failed to benefit from the recent recovery seen in the broader Wall Street indices, as investors assess the latest positions churning by several institutional investors, which have recently bought and sold shares of NIO. Besides, the FOMC June meetings minutes came in hawkish, as it revealed central bankers growing anxiety over inflation and plans to adopt a restrictive policy stance in order to control inflation.

    NYSE:NIO started the session well lower as the Chinese EV maker was down by as much as 5% during early morning trading. On Tuesday, shares of Nio managed to rise by 3.84% and closed the trading day at $22.18. It was a remarkable reversal for the stock which rallied alongside the broader markets into the closing bell. The Dow Jones was the lone losing index with a dip of 129 basis points, the S&P 500 inched higher by 0.16%, and the NASDAQ posted a 1.75% gain on the strength of mega-cap tech stocks.

    Stay up to speed with hot stocks' news!

    What had Nios stock trading lower out of the start? There are reports that cases of the novel coronavirus are once again surging in areas of China. Specifically, the Anhui Province which is where Nios main production facilities are in the city of Hefei. Nio has already had to deal with production shutdowns due to outbreaks in Shanghai, so another closure to its facilities could mean another potential weak quarter for deliveries. Still, investor concerns were short-lived as the stock managed to erase those losses by the closing bell.

    Nio hit another milestone earlier this week as the company announced via its WeChat account that it has completed its 10 millionth battery swap. Its a notable milestone, especially on the heels of a short report from Grizzly Research that alleged that Nio is inflating its battery swap subscription figures which has a direct impact on its revenues and net income. Still, perhaps this is Nios way of silencing the short sellers, as the company continues to hit major milestones for its innovative technology.

    Previous updates

    Update: NIO stock settled at $20.83, down 6.13% on Wednesday, despite US indexes managing to post modest gains for a second consecutive day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 70 points, while the S&P 500 summed 0.36%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 39 points or 0.35%. The US Federal Reserve saved the day, as the FOMC Minutes were as hawkish as expected, but policymakers refrained from hinting at a 100 bps hike and from talking about a potential recession. However, the document showed thatofficials agreed high inflation warranted restrictive interest rates, and are open to be even more restrictive if inflation persists. Also, the majority of participants saw a downside risk to growth, while judging there was a significant risk higher inflation could become entrenched.

    Update: Nio shares have shed 6.5% to trade at $20.73 one hour into Wednesday's session. This pessimism is odd, seeing as how the Nasdaq is primarily flat and new vehicle sales figures out of China leave little more to be desired. Figures from June 20 through June 26 show a Chinese vehicle market in rampage mode. Overall, the week saw industry-wide sales 33% higher than the same period one year ago. Electric vehices grew at a much higher pace however. Nio reported sales of 12,961 in June, which amounts to a 60% growth rate YoY. The only negative aspect was that Nio remains behind competitors Li Auto (LI) and Xpeng (XPEV), whichsold noticeably more units in June and grew sales at 69% and 133% YoY, respectively.

    NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) sheds 5.4% this week, as yearly returns fall more in line with earnings growth – Simply Wall St

    - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) shareholders have seen the share price descend 20% over the month. But don't let that distract from the very nice return generated over three years. In fact, the company's share price bested the return of its market index in that time, posting a gain of 52%.

    Although NXP Semiconductors has shed US$2.2b from its market cap this week, let's take a look at its longer term fundamental trends and see if they've driven returns.

    View our latest analysis for NXP Semiconductors

    To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

    During three years of share price growth, NXP Semiconductors achieved compound earnings per share growth of 6.6% per year. In comparison, the 15% per year gain in the share price outpaces the EPS growth. This indicates that the market is feeling more optimistic on the stock, after the last few years of progress. It is quite common to see investors become enamoured with a business, after a few years of solid progress.

    The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).

    We know that NXP Semiconductors has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? This free report showing analyst revenue forecasts should help you figure out if the EPS growth can be sustained.

    When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. We note that for NXP Semiconductors the TSR over the last 3 years was 58%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!

    While the broader market lost about 17% in the twelve months, NXP Semiconductors shareholders did even worse, losing 27% (even including dividends). However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 7%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Take risks, for example - NXP Semiconductors has 3 warning signs we think you should be aware of.

    For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

    Small study sheds light on how COVID-19 affects the brain – SILive.com

    - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A small National Institutes of Health (NIH) study found the bodys immune response to COVID-19 may be involved with inflammation and damage to the brain, adding to a growing body of evidence that ties the disease to an increased risk of neurological damage.

    NIH researchers from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) examined brain tissue from nine people who suddenly died from COVID-19 between March and July 2020 the first wave of the pandemic, according to the study published in the journal Brain.

    The patients, who were between the ages of 24 and 73, were selected because they showed signs of blood vessel damage in the brain. They were then compared with a control group for signs of inflammation and immune responses.

    The study found evidence that antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the virus were involved in an attack on the cells lining the brains blood vessels, causing inflammation and damage, even though the disease was not directly found in the brain.

    Patients often develop neurological complications with COVID-19, but the underlying pathophysiological process is not well understood, Dr. Avindra Nath, clinical director at NINDS and the senior author of the study, said in a release. We had previously shown blood vessel damage and inflammation in patients brains at autopsy, but we didnt understand the cause of the damage. I think in this paper weve gained important insight into the cascade of events.

    Scientists have been working to uncover the mechanisms that cause issues like brain fog and fatigue that are among the symptoms tied to long COVID the designation given to symptoms that persist after initial infection.

    Some studies found lasting neurological issues for survivors that persisted for more than a year, and others discovered connections between the disease and tissue damage in the brain related to smell.

    The most recent research suggests the body may be mistakenly targeting endothelial cells in the blood-brain barrier that are crucial to keeping harmful invaders away from the brain. Damage to these cells could cause proteins to leak from the blood, ultimately increasing the risk of stroke, the researchers said.

    The NINDS researchers found damage to these cells and evidence of blood proteins that normally do not cross the blood-brain barrier. Those protein clusters are typically caused when endothelial cells activate and release molecules that stick together, suggesting antibodies were the cause of the attack.

    By building off past research that showed COVID-19 damaged the brain by causing thinning and leaky blood vessels, the new findings bolster the belief that the bodys natural immune response could be the source of damaging and dangerous inflammation.

    Activation of the endothelial cells brings platelets that stick to the blood vessel walls, causing clots to form and leakage to occur. At the same time the tight junctions between the endothelial cells get disrupted causing them to leak, said Nath. Once leakage occurs, immune cells such as macrophages may come to repair the damage, setting up inflammation. This, in turn, causes damage to neurons.

    The researchers believe the patients used in the study would have developed long COVID if they survived. They added the study sheds light on the underlying mechanism causing neurological damage and could better enable doctors to treat long-term symptoms.

    It is quite possible that this same immune response persists in long COVID patients resulting in neuronal injury, added Nath, who noted that the findings could have very important therapeutic implications.

    Four people injured in shed fire at Cargill Salt plant Wednesday – The Times Herald

    - July 8, 2022 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Four people were injured in a shed fire on the St. ClairCargill Salt plant's property Wednesday afternoon.

    Rescue crews responded to a report of a fire at the plant at 916 Riverside Ave. at about 2:30 p.m., St. Clair Fire Chief Dave Westrick said.

    When firefighters arrived, they found a welding shed on the plant's property covered in flames, Westrick said.

    St. Clair Police Chief Tim Raker said four people were injured and transported to Ascension River District Hospital by personal car. One was treated and released, while three people were transported to Detroit hospitals by Tri-Hospital EMS.

    The shed was a total loss. The fire was contained to only the shed, Westrick said.

    The cause of the fire is under investigation.

    The Marine City Fire Department andSt. Clair Police Departmentalso responded to the scene.

    Cargill spokesperson Daniel Sullivan said the four people who were injuredwere contractors who are receiving treatment for their injuries.

    The facility remains operational and the company expects to meet all its customer commitments, he said Thursday.

    "We are grateful for the partnership of the local emergency medical and fire response teams," Sullivan said in an email."Our focus remains on the safety of our employees and contractors."
