Dartside Indoor Dart Tag Arena has expanded at the Layton Hills Mall

Second arena now open. Double the size, double the fun.

 

Layton, UT (January 20, 2017) – In response to the strong demand for more competitive dart tag play and private event space accommodations, Dartside Indoor Dart Tag Arena now has two dart tag activity areas operating inside Layton Hills Mall.

At just over 4000 square feet the new arena can host up to 65 players for exciting games of dart tag. The space was designed for more competitive play utilizing heavy duty dart tag blasters. At Dartside, players are split into separate teams to square off in battlefield style until one team is left standing or the time runs out. Run, dodge, and dive behind obstacles while laying down cover for your teammates in order to gain the ultimate tactical advantage and win the day.

Jeremy Nehring, Owner of Dartside Indoor Dart Tag Arena said the second arena opened the end of December and is now available for private party reservations during operating hours or by appointment. “We continue to provide a unique interactive experience designed for families and friends and the additional arena now makes it easier to host youth groups, team building events, and work parties in conjunction with the walk-in opportunities available to the general public.”

Hours of Operation:

Sunday: 1:00pm – 6:00pm

Monday – Friday: 4:00pm – 9:00pm

Saturday: 10:00am – 9:00pm

Five Biopharma Companies Headline Industry Night at Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Annual Conference

ArQule, ASLAN Pharmaceuticals, Delcath Systems, Inc, InnoPharmax and Leap Therapeutics to Present Clinical Trial Concepts to International Research Network

 

Truly, the best GI cancer meeting where the best science, most collaboration and meeting of the minds occurs year after year.”

— Renuka Iyer, MD Roswell Park Cancer Institute

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, UNITED STATES, January 19, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CCF) announced today that five biopharmaceutical companies have been selected to present their clinical trial concepts at the upcoming Annual Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

During the Industry Night event, representatives from ArQule, ASLAN Pharmaceuticals, Delcath Systems, Inc, InnoPharmax and Leap Therapeutics will present their clinical trial concepts to the International Cholangiocarcinoma Research Network (ICRN) which represents more than 30 investigators from 4 countries.

The purpose of Industry Night is to accelerate clinical trial development by fostering collaboration between the Foundation and industry partners. “Many global investigators are attending the conference, so it makes sense to invite colleagues from industry to participate and test their concepts. This is one of many ways the Foundation is accelerating development of potential new therapies for patients,” said CCF Board Member Sean Turbeville.

The CCF Conference will be held at the SLC Marriott City Creek on February 1-3 and be host to more than 250 professionals from 10 countries representing the medical and scientific communities, industry partners, policy-makers, payers, patients, caregivers and others invested in cholangiocarcinoma.

“We are grateful to Celgene, Ignyta, Incyte and Merck for providing $10,000 each in educational support for the meeting” shared CCF Founder and President Stacie Lindsey. “Their support provides a forum to increase the knowledge and understanding of attendees about key issues central to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure for cholangiocarcinoma.”

Additional funding for this conference was made possible (in part) by 1R13CA213778-01 from the National Cancer Institute and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award.

About the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CCF)
Founded in 2006, the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is a global 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to find a cure and improve the quality of life for those affected by cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).

About Cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma is a “silent” form of cancer that originates from the cells lining the bile ducts. It is classified as a heterogeneous group of three anatomically distinct cancers grouped according to the location from which they arise: within the bile ducts (intrahepatic), outside the bile ducts (extrahepatic), and in between where the bile ducts exit the liver (perihilar).

The incidence and mortality of cholangiocarcinoma in North America and Europe has increased dramatically in the past few decades. In the US, there are approximately 6,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Because patients commonly present with symptoms that mimic those of other ailments, and there is no validated method of early detection, the majority of patients are diagnosed when the cancer is far too advanced to be removed by surgery. In these cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the mainstay of treatment. The dismal 5-year survival rate for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is estimated at 2-15%

Consumer and Environmental Groups Praise Klobuchar, Question if Sessions Can be Trusted on Antitrust Enforcement

WASHINGTON, DC — Yesterday, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights, questioned Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) on his commitment to enforce antitrust laws, after President-elect Donald Trump’s meetings with agrichemical giants Monsanto (NYSE: MON) and Bayer (ETR: BAYN) last week. As Senator Sessions awaits confirmation as the next Attorney General – a role that would put him in charge of enforcing antitrust laws – his independence as an impartial law enforcer is being called into question. Senator Klobuchar noted that the president-elect’s meetings “underscore the importance of [his] commitment to ensuring the integrity and independence of the ... Antitrust Division.”

In response, Pesticide Action Network, SumOfUs, Center for Food Safety, Beyond Pesticides, and Friends of the Earth released the following joint statement:

“Last week, President-elect Trump met with the heads of Bayer and Monsanto to discuss their proposed merger, but he only heard one side of the story.

“We hope Trump will be wise enough to listen to the American people and the antitrust experts who know not to believe the empty promises of multi-billion dollar company executives. Time and again, corporate mega mergers have gone back on their word, cutting American jobs and raising prices on consumers once a deal is done. Nothing in Bayer’s or Monsanto’s track record tells us they would do any different. 

“The proposed merger presents a powerful threat to our food safety and supply, environmental health, innovation in our crops, the prices consumers pay, and the viability of family farming. The continuous consolidation of seed and pesticide companies increases incentives to make agriculture more pesticide-intensive and pesticide-dependent, all while decreasing environmentally sustainable options for farmers. This will only endanger the global diversity of seed further; kill bees and other important pollinators; and put humans at higher risk of exposure to toxic chemicals through our food, air and water.

“We commend Sen. Klobuchar for her line of questioning and call upon the president-elect and Senator Sessions to state unequivocally that the Department of Justice will be free to decide upon the merger after a rigorous and objective review, free from political interference.”
