Currently, the game takes up a massive 154GB of space, but a beta version now comes in at around 23GB. Arrowhead is planning to roll out the space-saving update once it completes testing.

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the intricate tapestry of scientific advancements, regulatory decisions, and strategic maneuvers shaping our industry.One of the notable stories involves Agios Pharmaceuticals, which is pushing forward with its sickle cell disease treatment, Pyrukynd, for FDA approval. This comes despite mixed results from their Phase 3 clinical trials, which led to a significant drop in their stock value. This scenario underscores the complexities of navigating clinical trial outcomes while pursuing breakthroughs in treating challenging diseases like sickle cell.Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals has marked a significant milestone with the FDA's approval of Plozasiran. This achievement not only marks Arrowhead's entry into the commercial sector but also highlights the competitive dynamics within biotech, as companies like Ionis Pharmaceuticals vie for market dominance with innovative therapies. Further strengthening its position, Arrowhead also received FDA approval for Redemplo, a siRNA-based therapeutic for rare genetic metabolic disorders. Despite facing volatility due to safety concerns in its partnership with Sarepta Therapeutics, this approval underscores RNA interference therapies' potential in precision medicine.In corporate strategy news, Alkermes is making moves to acquire Avadel Pharmaceuticals, offering up to $2.37 billion and overshadowing a competing bid from Lundbeck. Such acquisitions are part of a broader trend of consolidation in the industry aimed at expanding portfolios and market reach. Avadel's decision to accept Alkermes' revised offer over Lundbeck's bid highlights ongoing consolidation trends as companies expand their portfolios in competitive markets like narcolepsy drugs.On the investment front, Celltrion has committed $478 million to upgrade a U.S. manufacturing facility acquired from Eli Lilly. This expansion is crucial for increasing manufacturing capabilities within the biosimilars sector, where demand for cost-effective therapeutics is on the rise. Additionally, Celltrion's exploration beyond biosimilars with a potential $350 million deal involving Trioar's antibody platform demonstrates ambition to diversify its portfolio towards innovative biologics.Teva Pharmaceuticals is fostering innovation by inviting startups to tackle key challenges within biopharma through a global platform. This initiative reflects a growing trend toward open innovation and collaboration, seeking novel solutions to complex issues across research and development and manufacturing efficiencies.In regulatory news, the controversial $7.4 billion settlement plan involving the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma has received approval from a bankruptcy judge. This paves the way for Purdue's transformation into Knoa Pharma and highlights ongoing legal and ethical reckonings related to opioid liabilities within the industry.Cytokinetics remains committed to its independent path as it awaits FDA approval for its cardiovascular drug Aficamtem. The company's determination to commercialize without big pharma support reflects a trend where smaller biotech firms strive for autonomy while bringing first-in-class drugs to market.On an infectious disease front, Merck has demonstrated significant progress with its HIV treatment Islatravir in Phase 3 trials. This places Islatravir as a potential competitor against Gilead's Biktarvy, showcasing ongoing innovation within antiviral drug development.Additionally, Dexcom has gained clearance for its type 2 diabetes software integrating continuous glucose monitoring technology. This advancement exemplifies how digital health technologies are transforming chronic disease management bySupport the show

Mike Kehoe, Missouri Governor, On Chiefs Renovation of Arrowhead and Royals Staying in Missouri | 11-13-25See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   There's a shocking piece of journalism at the Daily Caller website as we have learned the Chinese own a 27 acre trailer park that shares a fence with Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri.  Are you kidding me?  This is a huge story and even bigger problem.    Kansas Senator Roger Marshall says he and the GOP will have a new health care plan by Christmas.  Spoiler alert, it also sounds like a big government handout.    Speaking of handouts, a journalist in Ukraine has found stacks and stacks of unsealed, stolen cash from the Kansas City Federal Reserve.  Zelensky is literally stealing from us, we explain how.    Elon Musk sums up the sad state of affairs of taxation in America in one brilliant post.  Pat McAfee gets President Trump on his show and then tries to apologize to liberal media for it.  Lame.   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe didn't take long to respond to our report that the Chiefs are talking to NASCAR and the state of Kansas regarding land acquisition at the speedway.  Kehoe says he can put a fabric roof on cables above Arrowhead and the Chiefs have no comment.    KU star Darryn Peterson has officially turned the Jayhawks into an NBA team.  He makes millions, he takes games off when he doesn't want to play and they are coming to T-Mobile Center in KC.  We finally have an NBA team!    And our Final Final is a pair of sexy bridesmaids.

Roof for Arrowhead? Plus, Government Shutdown to End... Finally?! | 11-12-25See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   While President Trump is posting about not allowing fat people into the United States including ex pats like Rosie O'Donnell, healthcare is in focus everywhere after this silly shutdown.  But lost in the shuffle was a giant win on election day one week ago in Texas.  They amended their constitution and it's glorious.    The state of Kansas will no longer allow a silly grace period for stupid mail in voting.  After meeting with business leaders hoping to land the Royals at Crown Center I came away with a strong feeling Overland Park is in the lead.   Chiefs players, including Josh Simmons are back at Arrowhead today.  Mahomes' former coach Mike Kafka is the new interim coach for the Giants.  Gambling scandals are rocking sports but the blame is misguided.  I'll straighten that out for ya.  And Jessica submits an all time Final Final.

   The Kansas City Chiefs are currently in negotiations with NASCAR and the state of Kansas to acquire land just west of Kansas Speedway for a potential new domed stadium.     Multiple sources confirm with KKHI that a land acquisition agreement is the final piece the Chiefs need in place to make a decision on whether to build a new stadium or renovate Arrowhead again.  We have all the details of what is a very high level, high stakes negotiation.     Then, some good and some bad in the NFL on Sunday for the Chiefs playoff picture.  Trump has quite a day at the Lions/Commanders game. KU and MU lose in opposite fashions Saturday and the Senate is close to re-opening the federal government.   And veterans, listen up.  Tuesday is Veterans Day and veteran Chris Benson  from www.thrivemediakc.com joins us to talk about service to country and some amazing deals just for veterans on Tuesday.   Our Final Final is the spookiest lottery story ever.

Ainda criança, ele sonhava em ser jogador de futebol. Mas o destino o levou por outros caminhos e foi justamente ao enfrentar o bullying escolar, que encontrou no Kung Fu um refúgio e uma escola de disciplina e autoconfiança. Foram oito anos dedicados à arte marcial que ajudaram a moldar seu caráter. Em 2013, mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro a trabalho e lá passou a ter contato com o que há de melhor na Cidade Maravilhosa: a natureza. O mar, a floresta e as rochas tornaram-se seu playground. Pedalar, remar, mergulhar e escalar entraram para sua rotina e foi justamente a escalada que abriu as portas para sua primeira grande experiência em alta montanha: o cume do Aconcágua, em 2015. Ali nasceu uma nova paixão. A sensação de pequenez diante da natureza e o prazer de conquistar com o próprio esforço o topo de uma montanha o levaram a seguir explorando outras montanhas andinas. Em 2018, deu um passo que mudaria sua vida. Uma nova perspectiva profissional que unia tudo o que sempre quis fazer, trabalhando com o que ama: esporte, viagem, lifestyle e fotografia. O resultado disso foi o que ele passou a compartilhar em seu perfil no Instagram, sua forma de se expressar e de mostrar seu mundo. Levar o corpo ao limite, entrar no estado de fluxo e elevar a consciência a outro nível. Afinal, isso é o que o motiva, o que o guia. Veio a pandemia, e o confinamento repentino trouxe a sensação de prisão. No início, ele até tentou levar na brincadeira — escalando pelos cômodos do apartamento e nadando na varanda —, mas à medida que a quarentena parecia não ter fim, a diversão perdeu o sentido. A falta de movimento abalou sua mente até o ponto em que decidiu tomar uma atitude: nadar no mar. Aquilo foi libertador. Além de extravasar a energia, o contato com a natureza o reconectou com sua essência. Nadando com amigos, descobriu o triathlon e logo se desafiou: completar uma prova de Ironman. Foram oito meses de preparação em um ciclo intenso de treinos, renúncias e aprendizados. Missão concluída com sucesso, decidiu ir além e encarar um Ultraman no final de 2021. Assim iniciou sua incursão nas provas de ultras distâncias. Vieram então uma sequência de feitos impressionantes. Para citar alguns: pedalou de Porto Alegre ao Rio de Janeiro, tornou-se, à época, o nadador mais jovem a concluir o desafio do Leme ao Pontal, participou do Ultraman da Floria e do UB515, conquistou o segundo lugar no Fodaxman, resultado que lhe garantiu a participação no Norseman do ano seguinte. Em 2024 correu a BR 135, a UTMB de Chamonix e o Mundial de Ultraman no Havaí. Este ano, completou a Arrowhead e venceu sua primeira competição, a UAI Ultra dos Anjos de 235 km. Ele acredita que a busca pelo autoconhecimento é a chave para superar qualquer desafio. Conosco aqui, o administrador, contador, aventureiro, escalador que é meio blogueiro, meio influenciador e agora, em sua versão pós pandemia, 110% multiatleta de ultra endurance.

This week on Drop the Ball, we highlight the Chiefs' manhandling of the Washington Commanders. And Marcus Mariota's return to Arrowhead since the 2017 playoff game. We chat how Travis Kelce is still a focal point of this offense as he ties Priest Holmes for most TDs by a Chief all time! This defense is unstoppable with a lead, and how the early struggles don't mean anything if you get it done at the end. Lastly, we chat who the Chiefs might target at the Trade Deadline as a former Chief returns. Then we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the ball!

SVP and Stanford Steve are back from Kansas City to recap MNF, react to NFL Week 8 action and discuss the madness that is college football right now. First, the guys recap their experience in Kansas City and reflect on what a great place Arrowhead is. The Chiefs continued to look like the best team in the NFL with a 28-7 win over Washington, and they're one of 12 teams SVP says can ‘DO IT.' Patriots? Seahawks? 49ers? Ravens? Broncos? Some can and some can't. At least not yet. Then, SVP takes us to Pooptown which lost some members! The guys then pivot to reacting to the historic game 3 of the World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays before going into a long discussion about the chaotic nature of college football, specifically the coaching carousel. It's truly the Wild Wild West, who is LSU and Florida going to get? And finally, Steve's story of *almost* running into Ms. Travis Kelce. | SVPod Time Codes/Topics (0:00) Intro (2:28) Kansas City recap (7:02) MNF recap (14:14) SVP's 12 teams that CAN DO IT (24:35) Current residents of Pooptown (27:33) Game 3 of the World Series was epic (31:44) Brian Kelly FIRED - reaction (35:30) What to make of CFB coaching carousel (50:20) Will Lane Kiffin coach at Ole Miss in 2026?

With Xbox's famous ringworld officially arriving on PlayStation 5 in 2026, we can rest assured that Sony's longtime rival has finally conceded the console space for good. Halo: Campaign Evolved -- clever! -- is a ground-up remake of the smash-hit 2001 Xbox launch title, and it comes with some new bells and whistles, including fresh content and a four-player online-enabled campaign. Microsoft even trotted Halo's community manager out in a PlayStation shirt, promised all upcoming Halo content is Sony-bound, and yielded perhaps their last meaningful franchise to the competition. This gives us much to discuss! Plus: Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead begins work on its next project, Horizon's live-action movie is slated to film next year and launch in '27, Resident Evil 0 Remake rumors are percolating, we may be waiting a while longer for Starfield's PS5 debut, Electronic Arts scores a renewed deal with the NFL to continue the Madden franchise, and more.

Third-generation owner Travis Seeholzer came on the pod a few years back to trace the eight-decade arc from this dude flexing 10-foot-long kamikaze boards to the present:Just about every ski area in America was hacked out of the wilderness by Some Guy Who Looked Like That. Dave McCoy at Mammoth or Ernie Blake at Taos or Everett Kircher at Boyne Mountain, swarthy, willful fellows who flew airplanes and erected rudimentary chairlifts in impossible places and hammered together their own baselodges. Over decades they chiseled these mountains into their personal Rushmores, a life's work, a human soul knotted to nature in a built place that would endure for generations.It's possible that they all imagined their family name governing those generations. In the remarkable case of Boyne, they still do. But the Kirchers and the Seeholzers are ski-world exceptions. Successive generations are often uninterested in the chore of legacy building. Or they try and say wow this is expensive. Or bad weather leads to bad financial choices by our cigar-smoking, backhoe-driving, machete-wielding founder and his sons and daughters never get their chance. The ski area's deed shuffles into the portfolio of a Colorado Skico and McCoy fades a little each year and at some point Mammoth is just another ski area owned by Alterra Mountain Company.It's tempting to sentimentalize the past, to lament skiing's macro-transition from gritty network of founder-kingpin fifes to set of corporate brands, to conclude that “this generation” just doesn't have the tenacity of a Blake or a McCoy. But the America where a fellow could turn up with a dump truck and a chainsaw and flatten raw forest into a for-profit business with minimal protest is gone. Every part of the ski ecosystem is more regulated, complicated, and expensive than it's ever been. The appeal of running such a machine - and the skillset necessary to do so - is entirely different from that of sculpting your own personal snow Narnia from scratch. We will always have family-owned ski areas (we still have hundreds), and an occasional modern founder-disruptor like Mount Bohemia's Lonie Glieberman will materialize like a new X-man. But ski conglomerates have probably always been inevitable, and are probably largely the industry's future. They are best suited, in most cases, to manage, finance, and maintain the vast machinery of our largest ski centers (and also to create a ski landscape in which not all ski area operators are Some Guy Who Looked Like That).Killington demonstrates this arc from rambunctious founder to corporate vassal as well as any mountain in the country. Founded in 1958 by the wily and wild Pres Smith, the ski area's parent company, Sherburne Corp., bought Sunday River, Maine in 1973 and Mount Snow, Vermont in 1977. The two Vermont mountains became S-K-I in 1984, bought five more ski areas, and merged with four-resort LBO in 1996 to become the titanic American Skiing Company. Unfortunately ASC turned out to be skiing's Titanic, and one of the company's last acts before dissolution was to sell Killington and Pico to Utah-based Powdr in 2007.The Beast had been tamed, at least on paper. Corporate ownership of some sort felt as stapled to the mountain as Killington's 3,000 snowguns. And mostly, well, it didn't matter. Other than Powdr's disastrous attempts to shorten the resort's famously long seasons, Killington never lost its feisty edge. Over the decades the ski area modernized, masterplanned, and shed skier volume while increasing its viability as a business. Modern Killington wasn't the kingdom of a charismatic and ever-present founder, but it was a pretty good ski area.And then, suddenly, shockingly, Powdr sold both Killington and Pico last August. And they didn't sell the ski areas to Vail or Alterra or Boyne or to anyone who owned any ski areas at all. Instead, a group of local investors - led by Phill Gross and Michael Ferri, longtime Killington homeowners who ran a variety of non-ski-related businesses - bought the mountains. After 51 years as part of a multi-mountain ownership group, Killington (its relationship to neighboring Pico notwithstanding), was once again independent.It was all so improbable. Out-of-state operators had purchased five of Vermont's large ski areas in recent years: Colorado-based Vail Resorts bought Stowe in 2017, Okemo in 2018, and Mount Snow in 2019; Denver-based Alterra claimed Sugarbush in 2019; and Utah-based Pacific Group Resorts added Jay Peak to their small portfolio in 2022. Very few ski areas have ever entered the corporate matrix and re-emerged as independents. Grand Targhee, Wyoming; Waterville Valley, New Hampshire; and Mountain Creek, New Jersey (technically owned by multimountain operator Snow Partners) are exceptions spun off from larger companies. But mostly, once a larger entity absorbed a ski area, it stays locked in the multimountain universe forever.So what would this mean? For the largest and busiest mountain in the eastern United States to be independent? Did this, along with Powdr's intentions to sell Mount Bachelor (since rescinded), Eldora (sale in process), and Silver Star (no update), mark a reversal in the consolidation trend that had gathered 30 percent of America's ski areas under the umbrella of a multi-mountain operator? Did Killington's group of wealthy-but-not-Bezos-wealthy investors set an alternate blueprint for large-mountain ownership, especially when considered alongside the sale of Jackson Hole to a similar group the year before? Had the Ikon Pass – that harbinger of mass-market pass domination that had forced the we-better-join-them sales of Crystal Mountain, Washington and Sugarbush – inadvertently become a reliable revenue pipeline that made independence more viable? And would Killington, well-managed and constantly improving, backslide under cowboy owners who want to Q-Burke the place in their image?We're a year in now, and we have some clarity on these questions, along with two new chairlifts (Superstar this year, Snowdon next), 1,000 new snowguns, a revitalized Skyeship Gondola, and progressing plans on the East's first true ski village. Locals seem happy, management seems happy, the owners seem happy. Easy enough, Gross points out in our interview, when winter hits deep like the last one did. But can we keep the party going indefinitely? It was time for a check-in.What we talked aboutA strong first winter under independent ownership; what spring skiing off Canyon lift told us about the importance of Superstar; “it's an incredibly complex operation”; letting the smart people do their jobs; Killington's surprise spin-off from a multi-mountain operator; “our job is to keep the honeymoon going”; Superstar's six-pack upgrade; why six-packs are probably Killington's lift-upgrade future; why Pico is demolishing the Bonanza lift for a covered carpet; why Superstar won't have bubbles; where bubbles might make sense in a future lift; why ski areas can no longer run snowmaking under newly constructed chairlifts; why Superstar is a Doppelmayr machine after Killington installed a brand-new Leitner-Poma six at Snowdon in 2018; long- and short-term Superstar impacts to Killington's long season; long-term thoughts around early-season walkway access to North Ridge; Skyeship Gondola upgrades, including $5 million in new cabins; what 1,000 new snowguns means in practice; why Killington sold the Wobbly Barn; considering Killington as a business and investment; how Killington is a different financial beast from other Vermont ski areas; how close Killington was to going unlimited on Ikon Pass; Phill's journey to buying Killington; Devil's Fiddle and why sometimes things that don't make sense financially make sense anyway; “we want to own this for generations to come”; a village layout and timeline update – “we want to make sure that this is something that's additive to the ski experience” even if you don't own within it; “Great Gulf wants this [village] to be competitive for the western resorts”; “we don't want to change what Pico is”; how piping water over from Killington has reinvigorated and stabilized Pico; why Killington and Pico remained on Ikon Pass post-sale and probably will for the foreseeable future; is Ikon helping big ski areas stay independent?; Killington's steady rise in lift ticket prices; future lift upgrades and why the Snowdon Triple is next up for a replacement.What I got wrong* File “opinionation” under LOL I'm Dumb Talking Is Hard* I said that former Killington owner Powdr had “just sold” Eldora, but that's not accurate: in July, the town of Nederland, Colorado, announced their intent to purchase the ski area. The sales process is ongoing.Podcast NotesOn previous Killington podsOn Gross' purchase of Killington and PicoOn ANSI chairlift standardsWe get a bit in the weeds with a reference to “ANSI standards” for chairlifts. ANSI is the American National Standards Institute, a nonprofit organization that sets voluntary but widely adopted standards for everything from office furniture to electrical systems to safety signage in the United States. The ANSI standard for lifts, according to a blog post describing the code's 2022 update, is “developed by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), [and] establishes standard requirements for the design, manufacture, construction, operation, and maintenance of passenger ropeways.” On Killington's long seasonsKillington often opens in October (though it has not done so since 2018), and closes in June (three straight years before a deliberately truncated 2024-25 season to begin demolition of the Superstar chair).
