Omicron symptoms are different from Delta variant, study finds A new observational study out of the U.K. has found that those who contract the Omicron variant of COVID-19 experience different symptoms that are usually less severe and last shorter than those who are infected with the Delta variant. According to the ZOE COVID Study, which tracks self-recorded symptoms from participants using a smartphone app, those who contract Omicron are less likely to be admitted to hospital and lose their sense of smell than people with Delta. The study also found that some of the "more debilitating symptoms" of COVID-19, including brain fog, eye burning, dizziness, fever and headaches, were also less prevalent in Omicron cases. Participants infected with Omicron were also less likely to report suffering from a cough, according to the study. "The prevalence of symptoms that characterise an omicron infection differs from those of the Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant, apparently with less involvement of the lower respiratory tract and reduced probability of hospital admission," the study's authors wrote. However, researchers report two symptoms that were "consistently prevalent" in both variants, regardless of one's vaccination status -- a sore throat and hoarse voice. The findings were published Thursday in peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, and will be presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases later this month. Researchers from King's College London studied the symptoms of 63,002 vaccinated U.K. participants who tested positive for COVID-19 between June 1, 2021 and Nov. 27, 2021, when the Delta variant was the dominant strain circulating, as well as Dec. 22, 2021 to Jan. 17, 2022, when Omicron became dominant. Patients from each group were matched and compared with a person of the same age, sex, and vaccination dose in the other group. The study did not compare symptoms, hospital admissions or duration of infection by the two variants in unvaccinated individuals. According to the findings, the greatest difference in symptoms between the two variants is the loss of smell, which appeared in 52.7 per cent of Delta cases compared to less than 20 per cent of Omicron cases. Researchers found symptoms lasted on average 6.9 days when infected with Omicron, compared to 8.9 days for those who contracted the Delta variant. Omicron's shorter symptom duration was also more pronounced in those with three vaccine doses, highlighting the importance of booster shots, researchers say. "The shorter presentation of symptoms suggests - pending confirmation from viral load studies - that the period of infectiousness might be shorter, which would in turn impact workplace health policies and public health guidance," the study's authors wrote. In addition, the study reported that hospital admissions were 25 per cent lower during the period when Omicron was dominant. The study supports previous findings that show the Omicron variant to be milder for vaccinated populations in terms of severity, despite it being more transmissible than the Delta variant. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, common symptoms of COVID-19 include a runny nose, headache, new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, fever, sneezing, fatigue, body aches and a loss of smell or taste. However, the agency notes these symptoms can vary from person to person in different age groups, as well as depending on the variant they are infected with.

One lesser-known provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will have profit-friendly implications in 2014, offering earnings upside for medical practices serving Medicaid patients. The provision to bump up Medicaid payments to match existing Medicare payments, referred to as parity, is expected to ramp through year's end. That suggests primary care service providers like Mednax will see higher earnings in the coming year as state payments climb. According to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, or CMS, a quarter of states have implemented the provision as of July. Parity affects certain primary care evaluation and management services provided by family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatric physicians. Previously, Medicaid payment for those services trailed payments made for the same services through Medicare. A multimillion-dollar impact Initially, the provision was geared to boost payments just to primary care physicians and pediatricians. But, thanks to effective lobbying from the industry -- including Mednax's political action committee, or PAC -- the provision was expanded to include pediatric subspecialties such as neonatologists. According to Mednax's 2013 Government Relations update, the company successfully lobbied CMS to expand the provision in the final rule issued last November. The PAC is funded by donations of up to $5,000 per year from Mednax employees who work in its pediatric subspecialty practices and anesthesiology practices. "Our goal was to convince health care policy makers that pediatric subspecialists should be included in his payment increase because they serve in a primary care role for their patients," according to Darren Patz, Esq., vice president of government affairs for Mednax. The importance of the legislation on Mednax practices is significant. The PAC spent $697,000 lobbying last year and nearly $1 million during the 2012 election cycle. Source: 2013 Mednax Government Relations Update. The successful lobbying to include the subspecialty services performed by Mednax's pediatric services group is already benefiting the bottom line, contributing $2.5 million in revenue and $0.02 in earnings per share in the second quarter, despite only a few states having implemented it. Medicare parity will also already benefiting other players, including Team Health Holdings , a company providing outsourced physicians -- such as pediatric doctors -- to providers like hospitals. Team Health sales increased 14.5% to $579.7 million in the second quarter, and Team Health estimates Medicaid parity will add $10 million to $15 million in revenue in 2013. Mednax scaling growth Mednax operates two segments, Pediatrix Medical Group and American Anesthesiology, and is actively acquiring practices, which will offer upside as Medicaid payments climb. In the quarter ending June, Mednax had bought five group practices, three in anesthesiology and two in pediatrics. And the company announced four additional acquisitions during the third quarter. As a result of its acquisitions, Mednax employs nearly 2,200 physicians in 34 states. The company's acquisition targets are small physician groups with neonatal care specialties that have high administration costs tied to legal and regulatory pressures. Currently, the company's physicians serve at more than 330 NICUs in the United States. Additionally, Mednax employs more than 1,650 anesthesiologists and advanced practioners. Combined, those physicians produced total revenue of $529.2 million, up 17.7% in the second quarter. Revenue generated from practices owned more than a year grew 2% thanks in part to higher payments from commercial insurers, which offset a slight 0.3% drop in patient volume. In the first six months of calendar 2013, revenue is up 18.3%. Including acquisitions, operating income in the quarter grew 13.7%. Mednax's general and administrative expenses were up 13.3%, less than revenue growth, and dipped to 10.3% of patient revenue from 10.7% last year. Total net income worked out to $69.2 million in the second quarter, or $1.37 per share. Cash from operations improved $10 million to $127.2 million. Foolish final take Thanks to successful lobbying, Mednax is forecasting third-quarter earnings per share of $1.46-$1.51, which reflects growth at units owned more than one year of 1.5%-3.5% year over year. Mednax expects parity will conservatively add $0.05 to third-quarter earnings as more states' programs ramp up. Heading into next year, the company should see even greater earnings per share impact as remaining states, such as Texas, come on line. Mednax will also see retroactive payments back to January 2013 from these states begin in earnest. "As I mentioned, we have started to receive parity moneys from a few states. As a result, we're including approximately $0.05 from parity in our outlook for the 2013 third quarter for payments we expect to receive from those states that are currently paying," according to Mednax CFO Vivian Lopez-Blanco. Both Mednax and Team Health are expected to report third-quarter earnings on Thursday, which means you should pay particular attention to the results and management's comments regarding revenue generated by parity in the third quarter and parity's expected impact on the fourth quarter and 2014.

One of the few gun store owners to be prosecuted for illegally selling guns or firearms-related items was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison and fined $4,000. Robert Jacaman Sr., 60, who owned Jacaman Guns and Ammo in Laredo, was featured in a San Antonio Express-News series last fall that focused on inspectors of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - in light of a federal report that said some gun shops were inspected only once every five years. Jacaman's store, like others on the border, was inspected far more frequently, but it took a long investigation by the ATF and Homeland Security Investigations to collect enough evidence to prosecute him. His store is one of five to have been the subject of prosecution in South Texas in the past 15 years, records show. In violation of the Arms Export Control Act, Jacaman sold tens of thousands of rounds of .223-caliber and 7.62 mm ammunition and numerous high-capacity rifle magazines - designed to fit AR-15-type and AK-47-type weapons - to operatives dispatched by the Zetas cartel, court records show. Many of those items were intercepted before reaching Mexico. Jacaman pleaded guilty Jan. 28 and surrendered his federal firearms license. He is no longer a firearms dealer and, as a felon, is prohibited from possessing firearms, ammunition and destructive devices. "Today's sentence is a direct result of the dedicated efforts of HSI, the U.S. Attorney's Office and our law enforcement partners in creating a safer community for the citizens of Laredo and the surrounding area," said Janice Ayala, special agent in charge of HSI in San Antonio, which also covers Laredo. Added Robert Elder, special agent in charge of the ATF in Houston, which also covers San Antonio and Laredo: "While 99 percent of federal firearms licensees abide by ATF regulations, it is paramount that we remain vigilant against the outlier who markets firearms illegally." Jacaman admitted being in direct contact with Oswaldo Roberto Borrego-Ramos, 32, a.k.a. "Baldo," of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Borrego-Ramos told agents he was working for the Zetas and supplying them with firearms, ammunition and accessories from various sources, including Jacaman. Borrego-Ramos, who's serving 78 months in prison for a pair of gun-smuggling cases, would send couriers to deliver cash to Jacaman and others to pick up the items to smuggle them into Mexico. Also sentenced Tuesday were Atanacio "None" Gonzalez-Torres, 45, and Jose Luis Estrada, 25, who also had pleaded guilty for their roles in the smuggling conspiracy. Gonzales-Torres got 28 months in prison, while Estrada was sentenced to 21 months in prison. Jacaman's wife, Veronica Jacaman, 43, pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor charge of failure to record a firearm transaction by a firearms dealer. She will serve six months and pay a $1,000 fine.

Ontario Premier Wynne's 'chickens have finally come home to roost' as personal popularity hits new low: poll Kathleen Wynne's approval rating is just 16 per cent, according to a new Forum Research survey, and just 14 per cent think she would make the best premier Have the “chickens have finally come home to roost” as Premier Kathleen Wynne’s personal approval rating hits an all-time low? From the scandals left over by her predecessor — deleted gas plant emails, a bungled green energy act and the troubled air ambulance system among them — to more recent exposés of cozy, high-priced Liberal fundraisers, the weight of the party’s nearly 13 years in office is dragging Wynne down. After bringing the Liberals back to majority power in the party’s fourth-straight election victory in 2014, Wynne is now as unpopular as Dalton McGuinty was before he resigned in the fall of 2012, the last time Forum had a leader as low as 16 per cent approval. (And she has openly debunked rumours she was planning her own retirement before the next vote.) New Democrat Andrea Horwath remains the most popular leader at Queen’s Park, at 34 per cent support, compared to 26 per cent for Patrick Brown, the PC leader, which is actually a slight drop from the 29 per cent support he earned in July. To make matters worse for the Liberals, only 14 per cent of respondents said Wynne would make the best premier, with 25 per cent preferring Brown and 17 per cent Horwath. The biggest chunk, 27 per cent, wanted someone else entirely. The survey of 1,097 was teeming with bad news for the provincial Liberals, who secured just 28 per cent support, compared to 23 per cent for the New Democrats, six per cent for the Green Party and 41 per cent for the PCs — enough to potentially take the premier’s office back from the Liberals for the first time since 2003. “The beneficiary, however, appears to be the NDP, rather than the PCs, although a majority would be theirs if the election were held today,” Bozinoff said. But the election isn’t today; it’s still two years out, with the vote expected to be set sometime in the late spring or early summer of 2018. The survey shows that nearly half — 49 per cent — of voters still don’t know much about Brown. That can both work for and against him: it means the Liberals have yet to frame him in voters’ minds as another big bad Tory, but it also means he has yet to spark their imaginations. Yet, given Wynne and the Liberals’ low approval, Brown might be best to fly under the radar until election time in order to present himself as the best possible alternative. Too much can also be made of horse-race numbers between elections. The Liberals trailed going into both the 2011 and 2014 election and emerged victorious. Ontarians are also notorious for paying too little attention to provincial matters between votes, something Wynne’s Liberals may be counting on as they embark on an ambitious, but costly and controversial cap-and-trade program. That’s going to add about four cents a litre at the pump, money the government says will be offset in other areas but that’s a tough argument to sell when a cash-strapped family sees their costs going up in such a visible way. Wynne seems aware of the near-time pain, however, and may believe the controversies will again fade from recent memories once the books are balanced as promised in the spring of 2018, just in time for the writs to be drawn up. As she said in an interview with the National Post in June: “I’m not surprised that there’s criticism coming at us because we’re building things that are going to have an impact on people’s lives and whenever there’s change, whenever there’s that move forward, there’s going to be people who say — kicking and screaming — ‘We don’t want to go there.’” “The reality is we’ve put our big plan out in to the public. We’re implementing it. So over the next two years, people are going to see the roll out of that plan. They’re going to see the implementation,” she said, two years almost exactly from when the next provincial election is expected to take place. “Those building blocks that we’re putting in place, people are going to start seeing the benefits of them.” The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus three per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Oscar plan comes back to NJ Obamacare for 2018 Oscar Health will return to New Jersey's Obamacare market next year, the insurer said Wednesday in a sign that the Garden State's health insurance market, rather than being in a death spiral, has stabilized. The company, which left the market last year, said it will begin selling policies to individuals and small businesses when open enrollment begins in November. MORE: NJ's MacArthur takes lead in new GOP health bill More: MacArthur talks Obamacare, Russia probe at town hall "The market in New Jersey is stable and growing," said Mario Schlosser, Oscar's chief executive officer and founder. "We wouldn't have filed for approval (with state regulators) to serve New Jerseyans in 2018 if we weren't confident that we could offer seamless, guided health insurance plans for both small businesses and individuals." Oscar will join AmeriHealth New Jersey and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey in the Obamacare marketplace, an exchange created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for consumers who aren't covered by Medicare, Medicaid or their employer. That's about 250,000 New Jerseyans. Oscar announced its return as the nation's $3 trillion health care industry faces uncertainty. President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have been working to repeal and replace the law, calling it a disaster. Among their complaints: it mandates consumers buy insurance or face a penalty; it expanded federally funded Medicaid; and it has left some individual markets with soaring premiums, or, in some cases no carriers at all. Their efforts are being led in part by U.S. Rep. Tom MacArthur, whose district includes part of Ocean County. The Senate could unveil its bill as soon as Thursday. More: Frelinghuysen vote helps, but he hopes for Senate rewrite More: Trumpcare in NJ: What's in it for you? New Jersey consumer advocates on Wednesday once again took aim on the House version, called the American Health Care Act, chiefly for its proposed changes to Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. Once designed for residents living below the poverty line, Obamacare opened Medicaid programs such as New Jersey Family Care to consumers making up to 138 percent of the poverty line — $33,600 for a family of four, for example. The federal government pays for 90 percent of the expansion. It helped to cover an additional 562,000 New Jersey adults. The AHCA proposed reining in the Medicaid expansion after 2020, leaving states to decide whether to pay for the program themselves or let lower-income residents search for other options. "Medicaid funding is not simply a line item in the federal budget – it is a lifeline to hundreds of thousands of New Jersey's most vulnerable populations," said Maura Collinsgru, the health care program director for New Jersey Citizen Action, a consumer group. "These proposed cuts would have dire consequences for New Jerseyans." New Jersey appears to be beating back at least one of the GOP's critiques: that the individual marketplace is in a death spiral. Insurers had a deadline of Wednesday to file proposals with state regulators. Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey said it also will serve the state's Obamacare market, but it declined to disclose its proposed rates. An AmeriHealth New Jersey spokesperson said it will participate as long as the marketplace is viable enough that it does not negatively impact its members or business. Neither company indicated how much their plans would cost next year. More: Top New Jersey lawmakers join rally to save ‘Obamacare’ Previous: Oscar drops out of NJ Obamacare Christine Stearns, a health policy expert with Better Choices, Better Care NJ, said she expects sizable increases in premiums. The reasons: Health care costs continue to grow faster than overall inflation; the Trump administration might not enforce penalties on consumers who choose not to buy insurance; Congress might not reimburse insurers for providing consumer subsidies; and New Jersey has expanded a program to treat opioid abuse. "I would say we have moderate competition, but we’re neither a health care desert on one extreme, nor do we have robust consumer choices on the other extreme," said John Sarno, president of the Employers Association of New Jersey, a business group based in Livingston. "I would sort of describe us as moderately competitive.” Still, New Jersey's insurance market is stable enough to attract Oscar, a New York-based insurer that sold policies in the state in 2015 and 2016. Its calling card is a slick digital strategy designed to appeal to young consumers. MORE: What grade did your hospital get? Oscar, whose early investors included Jared Kushner's brother, Josh, said it would sell policies in 14 New Jersey counties in Central and Northern New Jersey. Schlosser said the uncertainty of health care policy in Washington, D.C. didn't dissuade him from returning to New Jersey. "We're confident that when the dust settles, the market for health insurance will stabilize in time for 2018," Schlosser said.

Ottawa's municipal races shaping up Article content With the provincial election firmly in the rear-view mirror, attention now shifts to October’s municipal race. Advertisement 2 Article content Mayor Jim Watson and two-thirds of the 23-member council have already filed the necessary paperwork to stand for re-election, while several others have confirmed they intend to run and will register soon. tap here to see other videos from our team. Ottawa's municipal races shaping up Back to video Veteran councillors who chair the city’s planning, transit, transportation, and community and protective services committees have all thrown their hats in the ring. So too have a trio of like-minded urban councillors wrapping up their first terms. With more than 80 per cent of council confirmed to run again, there’s a chance the next term of council could look awfully similar to the current one. Only one councillor — College ward rep Rick Chiarelli — remained tight-lipped about his plans when approached Tuesday. Chiarelli said he’s never announced his intentions before July. Even then, the campaign lasts three times as long as a provincial one. If he knocked on a voter’s door today, Chiarelli said, they may not remember the interaction come election day on Oct. 22. He said he also didn’t want to confuse voters in his ward, where cousin Bob Chiarelli, a former Liberal cabinet minister, was seeking re-election in last week’s provincial election (Chiarelli lost to Progressive Conservative challenger Jeremy Roberts). Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri says he made the same calculation. His wife Theresa Qadri ran for the provincial Liberals in the new Carleton riding, which Goldie Ghamari won for the PCs, so he held off until Thursday night to confirm his intention to seek re-election. Advertisement 3 Article content Only three wards — Innes, Kanata North and Bay — will see wide open races. Councillors Jody Mitic, Marianne Wilkinson and Mark Taylor, respectively, have all said they will not seek re-election. Four contestants have already registered in Innes, including two defeated by Mitic in 2014 — Laura Dudas and François Trépanier. Three people are registered in Kanata North, including Matt Muirhead, who Wilkinson beat in 2014. There are also three registered in Bay, including two-term public school trustee Theresa Kavanagh. Mayor Watson faces three challengers — Hamid Alakozai, Bernard Couchman and Michael Pastien. Couchman garnered 1,255 votes when he ran for mayor in 2014, while Pastien, running for councillor in Bay ward, received 151 votes. Nomination papers must be filed before July 27 at 2 p.m. Councillors registered or declared for re-election Bob Monette, Orléans Jan Harder, Barrhaven Eli El-Chantiry, West Carleton-March Shad Qadri, Stittsville Keith Egli, Knoxdale-Merivale Diane Deans, Gloucester-Southgate Tim Tierney, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Mathieu Fleury, Rideau-Vanier Tobi Nussbaum, Rideau-Rockcliffe Catherine McKenney, Somerset Jeff Leiper, Kitchissippi Riley Brockington, River David Chernushenko, Capital Jean Cloutier, Alta Vista Stephen Blais, Cumberland George Darouze, Osgoode Scott Moffatt, Rideau-Goulbourn Michael Qaqish, Gloucester-South Nepean Allan Hubley, Kanata South mpearson@postmedia.com twitter.com/mpearson78

Out Our Way: All in the family April 15, 2016 Then Jesus' mother and brothers came and were standing outside; and they sent and called for him. A crowd was gathered around him and they said, "Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you." And he replied, "Who are my mother and brothers?" And looking around him, he said, "Here are my mother and brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother." - Mark 3: 31-35 Out our way, family is pretty important. Farm and ranch families depend on each other because they all have a stake in the success of the family business. Even the little kids know... For access to this article please sign in or subscribe.

Outsiders saw a significant technological jump in the weekend test, with the rocket apparently flying higher and for a longer time than any other such previous missile. North Korean propaganda must be considered with wariness - Pyongyang has threatened for decades to reduce Seoul to a "sea of fire", for instance - but Monday's claim, if confirmed, would mark another big advance toward the North's goal of fielding a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the US mainland. The South Korean Yonhap news agency quoted the envoy as saying that Trump had told him that entering Pyongyang into a peace process would take place if conditions were favorable, adding that he would not hold talks for a dialogue only with North Korea. Kim accused the council of playing "to the tune of the USA again" and protested the Trump administration's demand for countries to choose allegiance between the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, his country's official name. It again demanded that Pyongyang conduct no further nuclear or ballistic missile tests. "If this goes to a military solution it is going to be tragic on an unbelievable scale, and so our effort is to work with the United Nations, work with China, work with Japan, work with South Korea to try to find a way out of this situation", Mattis said at a news conference. They are testing, and they are testing often. Haley said that the United States and China are working together on a new resolution targeting North Korea:"That's what we are working on now". It flew to an altitude of 2,111.5 kilometers, and traveled 787 kilometers before landing in the Sea of Japan. A top US Navy commander on Wednesday pushed for a "sense of urgency" over North Korea's nuclear and missile development, stressing it even threatens Pyongyang's allies China and Russian Federation. In the past week or so, there are growing indications that the missile and nuclear capabilities of the gleefully belligerent North Korean regime are moving forward at a faster clip than Western analysts previously predicted. The US vessel is reportedly still patrolling in the region. "At the current pace, North Korea may be able to make the technological progress required for a nuclear-tipped ICBM in five or so years". Hecker estimates that Pyongyang has enough plutonium and highly enriched uranium to produce 20 to 25 nuclear weapons and said there is "no conceivable way" the US could destroy them all with a preemptive strike. Left-leaning Moon and President Xi Jinping spoke on the phone last week and both agreed that denuclearising North Korea was a "common goal" between them, Moon's spokesman said. In Seoul, some citizens expressed frustration. Pyongyang has also said it would be open to talks, but what that means is unclear. The threat from Pyongyang presents U.S. President Donald Trump with one of his greatest security challenges. While Trump has said he'd be "honored" to talk with leader Kim under favorable conditions, Haley seemed to rule out the possibility. The U.S. Pacific Command said Sunday's test flight "is not consistent with an intercontinental ballistic missile". The missile was launched at an unusually high trajectory. He said the launch had been detected by the US THAAD anti-missile system. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the test was risky, but warned against attempts to "intimidate" Pyongyang. Abe also struck a conciliatory note, saying: "With the new president, I wish to build future-oriented Japan-South Korea relations".

PECKFORTON Castle welcomed a very special guest this week. His Highness Prince Faisal bin Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, or Prince Faisal as he prefers to be known, was staying at the castle as part of his two-month tour of the UK. Together with the Lee Westwood Golf School, based at the Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa, Tarporley, the prince is looking at ways to promote golf to the people of Saudi Arabia. He said: “For such a huge country, golf is relatively under developed in Saudi. “We have five courses at a maximum – one of them being on my own property!” The Lee Westwood Golf School is also involved to ensure the Saudi people are given the opportunity to learn from one of the world’s leading golfers. Peckforton Castle managing director Chris Naylor said: “Prince Faisal enjoyed his stay at the castle immensely. “As a keen falcon keeper he enjoyed spending time with the Peckforton birds of prey – and was even brave enough to hold Elfie, the castle’s magnificent golden eagle.” The Prince plans to return in the summer with other members of the Saudi royal family to show off this beautiful part of Cheshire. Chris added: “We feel so privileged to be chosen as Prince Faisal’s venue of choice. “Myself and the rest of the Peckforton Castle staff are really looking forward to hosting him and his family on his next trip and who knows maybe we’ll even be invited out to Saudi Arabia for a spot of golf!” Allison Dickinson

PRESS RELEASE Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) today announced the sale of Cedar Crossing, a 10,897-acre industrial park near Houston. The transaction represents one of the single largest land sales in the history of the Houston area. C&W represented the seller, Cedar Crossing L.P., a partnership of area investors managed by Charles Iupe. The size of the property sold is equal to three-fourths that of New York\u2019s Manhattan Island. The C&W team of Kelley Parker, John Littman, Coe Parker and Tim Thomas handled the marketing and sale of the site. Mr. Parker\u2019s 24-year experience with marketing the property began in 1990 when C&W represented the site for USX Realty Development and convinced Mr. Iupe to purchase the project. Trans-Global Solutions, Inc. (TGS), a fully integrated railroad service\/logistics provider for many Fortune 500 companies with offices in Beaumont and Houston, TX, is the majority owner of the buyer, TGS Cedar Port Partners L.P. TGS has been the rail service provider for Cedar Crossing since its inception. With a total expanse of 15,000 acres, Cedar Crossing Industrial Park is considered the world\u2019s fifth largest industrial park and the largest on the Gulf Coast. The Park is located 20 miles east of Houston in Chambers County, directly across the Houston Ship Channel from the Bayport and Barbours Cut container terminals. Cedar Crossing is ideal for light or heavy industrial, manufacturing of all types, waterfront operations and warehouse\/distribution facilities. Approximately 65% of the Park remains undeveloped and is available for future expansion. \u201cThis transaction comes at a time when low natural gas prices are driving manufacturing expansions and relocations across the U.S.,\u201d said John Morris, C&W\u2019s Industrial Services Lead for the Americas. \u201cWe see trade between South America, Asia and the U.S. poised for dynamic growth due to the completion of the Panama Canal expansion in 2015.\u201d To date, Cedar Crossing has attracted many top-tier companies with significant operations: Home Depot\u2019s 755,000-square-foot distribution hub, Walmart\u2019s 4.2 million-square-foot import center (their largest in the U.S.), JSW Steel\u2019s plate and pipe manufacturing facilities, and Borusan Mannesmann\u2019s $148 million steel pipe manufacturing facility. Other occupants include Exel, S&B Engineers, National Oilwell, GE Water, TMK-IPSCO, Century Asphalt, Samson Controls, and LS Energy Fabrication. Perfectly positioned as one of the world\u2019s most important intermodal logistics parks, Cedar Crossing offers dual rail service with considerable rail infrastructure; specifically, 57 miles within the Park, with existing storage for over 1,700 railcars. The Park has benefitted from the construction of the Fred Hartman Bridge, the completion of the Grand Parkway, and a $50 million investment of public funds by the Chambers County Improvement District I for infrastructure improvements including the Public Barge Dock and its recent expansion. Additional infrastructure improvements are planned by the new ownership and will be announced at a later date. Cedar Crossing features major freeway access by way of the Grand Parkway to Interstate 10, Highway 225, and State Highway 146; an extensive gas and chemical pipeline distribution network; access to the Gulf Coast region\u2019s center of international trade via the Port of Houston, as well as access to the Barbours Cut and Bayport container facilities. \u201cThis significant transaction is a convincing testament to the Park\u2019s capabilities and infrastructural importance and a ringing endorsement of the Baytown\/Chambers County area as an economic powerhouse,\u201d said Kelley Parker, C&W Executive Vice President. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to have witnessed firsthand the growth of the Park, in 24 years, from simple pastureland to what it is today.\u201d

Parents have spoken of “traffic chaos” in the city centre's CB1 development after temporary measures were put in place to stop traffic near the railway station. Since last Monday, all traffic but busses has been banned from travelling to the end of Station Road outside the railway station. taxis and other cars must turn off at Tenison Road before approaching the station via Great Northern Road. Currently, there are marshals posted in the road to turn traffic away from the new piazza in the area. Work to be completed 'within the month' as residents hit out at slow improvement work near CB1 Local parents, however, have said that when the marshals leave, there is “traffic chaos” as cars flood into the area unaware of the changes. Cambridgeshire County Council said it had not received any complaints and that the responsibility for the new scheme lies with CB1 developer Brookgate. Brookgate has been approached for comment. Resident, Nicky Massey said: “There are no proper signs to warn people. It really is quite dangerous. I was picking up my children. The cars are coming in and they are getting stuck. They can’t get past the station, they can’t figure out how to get out.” Nicky said the cars were flooding into the area as normal and getting stuck in the new traffic arrangements. Michele Nightingale said: “When I went to pick up my son, the security guards stopping cars from going down to the station had gone. I walked across but, because they had taken away the guards, there were cars coming and going everywhere. People who were not supposed to be there were driving and reversing where pedestrians were meant to be walking. “You see a lot of school children coming out expecting it to be quiet there now. A lot of kids were coming from school. Rush hour was just starting and it was getting very busy. We just want them to think about people and keep everyone safe.” Claims new Station Square has caused 'chaos' with taxis facing 'delays of up to 30 minutes' to leave area It is understood that developers of the CB1 area, Brookgate, will be installing proper signage and bus gate cameras and that the marshals are just a temporary measure. A spokesman for Cambridgeshire County Council said it was up to Brookgate to make the changes, but also noted that the council had not received any complaints about the situation. “The developer has an obligation to install a control system like a camera,” said the spokesman. “There is a process that needs to be gone through and there will be proper signage. What is there at the moment is temporary until it is sorted. “We have not received any complaints, but the developer should be putting in the proper signs in the near future.” The spokesman added that there are signs in place at the moment and that motorists should respect the new traffic scheme.
