Noblesville has become home to the nation’s first medical cyclotron, a particle accelerator. Zevacor Molecular, a healthcare firm on the southeast side of town, will deploy the cyclotron, to help treat cancer. It uses an ion beam, and that protocol is supposed to have minimal if any negative effects on surrounding healthy tissue. We wish the effort much success in the war on cancer, and the city and its residents should be proud that Zevacor Molecular makes its operations base here.

We were mildly disappointed, but certainly not in any way surprised, to learn union-busting Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) dropped out of the Republican Party race for the nomination for the presidency. Seems Walker either was “too much too soon” for the party leadership or we were just wishfully thinking he really had a chance to make things interesting. We suspect he was advised out under the threat of having his spine removed, as was the case with so many before him.

No less an authority than USA Today’s empaneled experts have anointed Carly Fiorina the frontrunner for the GOP bid for the White House. That didn’t take long, did it? We mean, The Trump Show had to fade at some point, didn’t it? Can’t wait to see what happens next.
