Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has been at the center of major swimming news in recent days, making headlines with a forceful critique of USA Swimming leadership. According to AOL and Fox News Digital, Phelps released a five-page statement on Instagram condemning the organization for what he described as poor operational controls and weak leadership. He expressed frustration over USA Swimming's inability to regain pre-pandemic membership and concern for the emotional well-being of athletes, stating as a father of four boys he is uncertain if he would want his sons involved in the current system. Phelps did not stop at criticism; he offered himself as a resource and urged for an independent review and a shift to an athletes-first culture. This intervention arrives on the heels of his commentary about Team USA's underwhelming performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where American swimmers captured only 44 percent of possible medals, their lowest rate since 1988.On the community front, Phelps has been making a splash—literally—with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens' official website and Yahoo Sports shared that several players, including Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, and Kyle Hamilton, requested swimming lessons after admitting many of them could not swim. Phelps obliged and joined the team at their renovated training center, using the opportunity to teach both players and children from the Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore water safety basics. Beyond just a feel-good story, the Ravens made a one hundred thousand dollar donation to the Michael Phelps Foundation, emphasizing his ongoing commitment to water safety and youth empowerment.Phelps' philanthropic endeavors remain robust. The Michael Phelps Foundation continues to drive initiatives around swimming access, mental health support, and scholarships for youth athletes. The Skills, an online sports education platform featuring Phelps alongside other elite athletes, raised five million dollars in fresh funding, with Phelps' name used as a draw for those seeking Olympic-level instruction.He has also spoken openly about his personal mental health. In a recent Times of India piece, Phelps revealed reaching out to NFL insider Jay Glazer during a “dark day,” underscoring how essential support is for athletes combating anxiety and depression. Social media, meanwhile, has been abuzz with both the Ravens' swimming sessions and continued discussion of Phelps' advocacy on mental health and sports leadership. Notably, Oscar winner Naomi Osaka appeared alongside Phelps at a New York mental health forum according to Time, further boosting his role as a voice for wellness in and out of sports.No credible reports indicate any legal or financial scandals, and there are no substantiated rumors of new endorsements or business launches in the past several days. The recent headlines have largely centered on his critique of USA Swimming and his collaborative community work, marking a period where Phelps' voice away from competition seems as influential as ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Bun B makes it official as co-host of Unglossy, and we kick things off with a legend: Buffalo Bills icon and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Andre Reed. From a small-town kid in Allentown, Pennsylvania to four straight Super Bowl appearances and a gold jacket in Canton, Reed's story is one of grit, growth, and giving back.In this first part of our two-part conversation, Andre takes us through the real playbook behind his success—relationships, mentorship, and showing up when nobody's watching. He reflects on the wisdom of his Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy (who just turned 100), weighs in on Micah Parsons' contract standoff and the high-stakes “game within the game” of NFL negotiations, and breaks down how rule changes like the kickoff shift and the tush push have reshaped football forever.We dive into what it was like lining up against Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, and Darrell Green, the brutal six-week training camps of the '80s, and the difference between recovering from injuries then versus now. Beyond the field, Andre shares the roots of his purpose—his years as a Boys & Girls Club kid, the founding of the Andre Reed Foundation, and the legacy he's building with a park, a street, and a stadium all carrying his name back home.Four straight Super Bowls, seven Pro Bowls, and zero regrets—because whether or not the scoreboard went his way, the world was watching.

Top Stories for August 12th Publish Date: August 12th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 12th and Happy Birthday to Pete Sampras I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Does GCPS make the grade? Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Does GCPS make the grade? “Get a good education.” We’ve all heard it a million times, right? But what does that even mean anymore? And how’s Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holding up under the weight of that promise? Well, it’s complicated—like, really complicated. COVID flipped everything upside down. Kids learning on screens, parents suddenly hyper-aware of what’s being taught, teachers scrambling to adapt. It wasn’t pretty. And now? GCPS is still untangling the mess: learning loss, absenteeism, behavior issues. But they’re trying. Social workers, behavioral coaches, literacy plans—it’s all part of their “Blueprint for the Future.” Progress? Sure. Perfection? Not even close. Education’s messy. Always has been. Always will be. STORY 2: Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Tawnecia Rush has been wearing hearing aids since she was 9. Conversations? She’s got them down—sharp focus, expert lip reading, and the occasional “Pardon?” when she needs something repeated. But on the basketball court? It’s like a whole different language—fluid, instinctive, no barriers. Growing up in Lawrenceville, she honed her skills playing with her dad and brothers at the Boys & Girls Club, eventually suiting up for Central Gwinnett High. Now, two decades later, she’s earned a spot on the USA Deaf Women’s Basketball team, heading to Tokyo for the Deaflympics this November. “This is huge,” Rush said. “A chance to compete against the best, no limits, no excuses.” Her drive didn’t stop on the court. After two years at Gallaudet University, immersed in deaf culture and basketball, she transferred to Kennesaw State to finish her marketing degree. STORY 3: Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships The Lanier Education Foundation just handed out $20,000 to the schools in the Lanier Cluster—split evenly, of course—and also funded the Lanier Leadership Conference and the Cluster’s multilingual programs. Oh, and two Lanier High grads, Kori Joseph (now at Georgia College & State) and Gabryelle Walker (Kennesaw State), each snagged a $1,000 “Make A Difference” Scholarship. It’s a little financial boost for students heading to college, trade school, or wherever their next chapter takes them. The Lanier Cluster includes Lanier High, Lanier Middle, and three elementary schools: Sugar Hill, Sycamore, and White Oak. Want to help? Visit laniereducationfoundation.org. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 4: Man dead after shooting at Snellville area home Gwinnett County Police are digging into a deadly shooting that went down Friday night in unincorporated Snellville, leaving one man dead. It happened around 7 p.m. on the 3900 block of Lee Road. A call came in about a dispute—then gunfire. When officers arrived, they found a man with gunshot wounds and tried to help. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. One person was detained at the scene and is being questioned. Police say it’s a homicide investigation, but the motive? Still unclear. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet—next of kin need to be notified first. If you know anything, call Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. Prefer to stay anonymous? Hit up Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. There’s even a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest. STORY 5: Lawrenceville mourning death of former City Manager Bob Baroni Lawrenceville is mourning the loss of Bob Baroni, the city’s first-ever manager and a man who dedicated more than four decades to shaping the town he loved. Baroni, 80, passed away Tuesday. Baroni wore many hats—parks and rec director, city clerk, and finally city manager. He oversaw projects like the construction of City Hall and was known for his steady leadership and fiscal smarts. Even after retiring in 2015, he stayed on as a consultant to help the city transition. “We’ve built a family here,” Baroni said at the time. His funeral was held Saturday at Tim Stewart Funeral Home in Loganville. He was laid to rest at Oconee Memorial Park in Watkinsville. Break: STORY 6: Gwinnett Sheriff's Office looking at expanding county jail The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is eyeing a big change—expanding the jail with a new tower. Why? Well, the current setup is showing its age, and the inmate population has jumped 35% since 2021. That’s a lot of strain on a facility that’s been around since 1991. Chief Deputy Cleo Atwater told the county’s budget review committee on Wednesday that it’s time to secure funding for this project. The newer Wimbley Tower, built in 2006, has seen updates—control boards, cameras, even door indicator lights—but the older building? It’s stuck in the past. Reinforced doors with security flaps? Not possible. And with 2,400 inmates now (up from 1,800), plus the need for better mental health and medical care spaces, the pressure’s on. Atwater says they’re committed to making this happen by 2026. STORY 7: 'Great bargains' —Kidsignments is back this week at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds The Kidsignments sale is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds this week, running through Saturday—and if you’ve got kids, you need to check it out. Organizer Jeri Lynn gets it: “Times are tough, and we’re thrilled to help parents stretch their dollars. Over 1,000 families are participating, so the selection is going to be amazing—everything from baby gear to teen clothes, toys, bikes, you name it.” It’s all gently used, high-quality stuff—perfect for sustainable parenting without breaking the bank. Seriously, don’t miss it. For details, head to kidsignments.com. Your wallet will thank you. We’ll have closing comments after this.

A legal loophole allowed Brandon Mitchell to bring home a baby boy via surrogacy, despite the fact that he was convicted of child sex abuse in 2016. Mitchell drew public outrage after posting a disturbing video of the baby on social media, with many calling for Pennsylvania laws to be changed – the state has strict oversight on adoption but different rules for surrogacy. Reduxx reports: “While Pennsylvania's adoption law does prohibits s*x offenders from adopting or fostering children, gestational surrogacy circumvents any such laws through pre-birth parentage orders.” York County DA Tim Barker says the loophole is a critical issue and urged lawmakers to protect kids with new legislation. Mitchell's attorney, Peter Kratsa, defended his client by saying Mitchell completed his sentence, counseling, and that there is no evidence he has reoffended.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Ed Doyle, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region, who highlights the Covington, Tennessee-based nonprofit and their efforts to transform the lives and outcomes of youth. During the interview, Ed discusses his background in the automotive industry and how running a street ministry as an ordained minister with his wife led to his current role at the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region. He talks about their summer camp serving 176 children and year-round programming for children and young adults, aged 5-18, which offers much more than just after-school care, including STEM programs, robotics, coding, and a recording studio. Ed also highlights the unique challenges faced by Covington's youth due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a recent tornado, which has created significant academic gaps for the children in the area.Ed outlines three key programs including a Reading Success Academy to address the academic gaps, along with mental health support, and workforce development initiatives, highlighting the club's partnerships with local employers and educational institutions. The Reading Success Academy, launching in August, will employ two reading specialists to assess children, design custom curricula, and provide one-on-one and small group instruction to improve reading skills. The mental health initiative, called "Healthy Minds Equal Great Futures," will have two licensed mental health professionals available at the club to support children dealing with trauma or other mental health issues. Ed describes the Boys & Girls Club's partnerships with local employers like Unilever and Ford, which provide tours and exposure to career opportunities for the children. The Club also collaborates with TCAT for dual enrollment opportunities in high school. Ed emphasizes the importance of these experiences in changing outcomes for the children, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. He highlights the impact of their programs, including STEM activities and the Ford-sponsored Reading Success Academy, on the children's learning and aspirations.Ed discusses how the Boys & Girls Club's programs are tied to core areas of growth for youth, which include character development, leadership, personal responsibility, community service, and exploration and fun with activities like robotics and drones. He emphasizes the importance of community involvement, sharing a heartwarming story about a child's interaction with a local business owner during a Club event. Ed outlines three ways to support the club: praying for the kids, spending time with them, and providing financial support, mentioning a matching grant opportunity.

07/10/25: Joel Heitkamp is joined by Robin Nelson, the CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of the Red River Valley. Joel asks Robin about how the federal funding freeze is impacting after-school programs in North Dakota. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget withheld $6.8 billion in federal education grants for the upcoming school year for further review. The total withheld for North Dakota is estimated to be about $25.4 million, based on what the state received in 2024, according to the state Department of Public Instruction. That represents about 15% of what the state receives annually in K-12 funding from the U.S. Department of Education, according to the Learning Policy Institute.

Chairman John L. Lowery of the Lumbee Tribe discusses efforts to secure federal recognition for his people in North Carolina. Lowery said he's been meeting with other tribes as the Lumbees seek federal recognition through an act of Congress. He has also made frequent visits to Washington, D.C., and said he was going to attend a meeting at the White House. " By the way, we have a lot of support throughout Indian Country," Lowery said during his State of the Tribe Address on June 30, 2025. Lowery thanked Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) for introducing S.521, the Lumbee Fairness Act. He said the Republican lawmaker's decision to retire from the U.S. Senate won't have an effect on the legislation. " It will not have any kind of negative impact on our bill moving forward," Lowery said at the Lumbee Boys and Girls Club in Pembroke. "Matter of fact, Senator Tillis texted me last night and said, by the way, we just add another co-sponsor." The Lumbees are recognized by the state of North Carolina. They have been unable to secure federal recognition from the U.S. government amid long-standing questions about their legitimacy.  "We pretty much have North Carolina on lock," Lowery said. "We're good there, but outside of North Carolina, we need your support. So ask your friends, your family and colleagues to call their congressman and their senators. Tell them it's time to take action on the Long Fairness Act and to become a co-sponsor of our bill." Lowery said his meeting at the White House was taking place on July 1, 2025.

Pismo Beach Today 06/15/2025 12p: Anita's guest is Kelly White O'Neill from the Boys and Girls Club. Produced by Jim Richards

Just hours away from the weekend! Rain likely today…which should help my lawn after mowing yesterday. In the news this morning, the latest on an Air India plane crash that happened in the early morning hours, the death of Brian Wilson, a new lawsuit for Elon Musk, a mistrial declared in La Crosse after a medical emergency, summer programs at the Boys & Girls Club of the great Chippewa Valley are continuing this summer, and a new exhibit at the La Crosse Children's Museum. In sports, the Brewers got beat by the Braves yesterday, the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead on the Thunder last night, the NHL Stanley Cup Final continues today, the Knicks are having a difficult time trying to interview potential new head coaches, and some more hardware in the NHL got awarded last night. Elsewhere in sports, an update on Lee Corso's final "College Gameday" appearance, Deion Sanders reassures people about his health, Jim Harbaugh had a hip replacement, and the World Anti-Doping Agency is condemning the "Enhanced Olympics" Today is "National Superman Day"…and it's "National Jerky Day"!

Plus, it's "Hypothetical Thursday", and Brian's question for Jean was: "Would you rather be a great singer…or a great dancer?" Jean's question for Brian was: "Would you dance for two minutes in front of a crowd of thousands for money?" And we ran our interview with Howard Kelly of S&S Cycle about the ride to the facility on Saturday, June 28th as part of the Big River Rally. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a mom in a robe making a sandwich while on Zoom in a courtroom, a guy who pissed on a bunch of SPAM & Vienna Sausages, a couple of teenagers who fired a flare gun inside a house, a #FloridaMan who attacked another guy with a machete and then gave the victim a ride to the hospital, and a North Carolina man who's suing after suffering a medical emergency at a Walmart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get More LVWITHLOVE Content at LVwithLOVE.com George, Crystal, and Dahlia from Lehigh Valley with Love spent the day at Lake Nockamixon State Park with the team from L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs to try out just a few of the activities they offer throughout the summer. From archery to kayaking to full moon paddles, these programs are built to help anyone, regardless of experience, get outside and try something new. They spent time with Lindsey Johnson, Program Coordinator and ACA Level 1 Kayak Instructor, who shared how these programs are designed for all ages, skill levels, and abilities. They also met with instructors Ruth, Craig, Dylana, and Sarah, who bring passion, experience, and approachability to everything from kayaking to archery, helping make the outdoors accessible and fun for everyone. L.L. Bean's Outdoor Discovery Programs are based at Lake Nockamixon and the Promenade Shops in Center Valley, offering kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, archery, fly casting, guided hikes, and more. With options for beginners, group outings, and even night paddles under the full moon, there's something for everyone looking to get outside.

L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company A Day Outside with L.L. Bean — And Why More People Need to Do This You don't usually associate archery safety talks with jokes about Sasquatches or see your kid aim an arrow at a tennis ball in the rain and absolutely light up. But that's exactly what happened when we spent a day with the L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs at Lake Nockamixon. This wasn't just a video shoot or podcast episode. It was the kind of day that sticks with you. Not because it was perfect (it rained), but because it was real. And more people need this kind of real right now. Listen to the Episodewww.lehighvalleywithlovemedia.com/podcast/llbeanoutdoordiscovery Explore the Programshttps://www.llbeanoutdoors.com/quakertown-pennsylvania “We want to give you the best first experience you could have.” That's what Lindsey Johnson, Program Coordinator and ACA Level 1 Kayak Instructor, told us early on. And it's not something you'd expect to take seriously — until you spend time with the instructors she works with. People like Ruth, who's been doing this for 15 years and still lights up when she talks about getting people on the water.Or Craig, who took a kayak class in college and came back to it in retirement, just because it made him feel something.Or Dylana and Sarah, who took our family (and a camera crew) through the archery basics without a hint of condescension, even when we had absolutely no idea what we were doing. This is what makes this program work: not the gear or the branding — but the people. These instructors aren't reciting from a script. They believe in this stuff. And they're patient enough to help you believe in it too. The Outdoors Is Not a Vibe. It's a Reset Button. We talk a lot about “disconnecting” these days. But for most people, that still means standing around staring at your phone with a different background. This wasn't that. Out at Lake Nockamixon, even with raindrops on the camera lens and a soggy hoodie, things felt clearer. Dahlia learned how to shoot a bow. Crystal got advice on safety lines and string tension from someone who could probably teach blindfolded. We paddled. We laughed. We dried off. We reset. You don't have to be “outdoorsy” to do this. That's the point. These programs are built for beginners. You don't need to own anything. You don't need to know what you’re doing. You just need to show up. “Even if you’ve never been to a lake before,” Lindsey told us, “we want you to feel like this is a place for you.” It is. Why This Stuff Matters We asked about accessibility. They talked about the ADA-accessible boat launch and helping kids from the Boys & Girls Club feel safe getting in the water for the first time. We asked about skill levels. They said they welcome people who've never touched a paddle and also offer sea kayaking, rescue courses, and night paddles under the full moon. We asked about groups. They've worked with Girl Scouts, bachelor parties, corporate team-building retreats, and even entire families who want to do something different for their reunion. So yeah, this is recreation. But it's also something bigger. This is how you build confidence in kids. This is how you reconnect with your spouse. This is how you remember what it feels like to be out of your head for a while. And if all you take home is a few mosquito bites and a blurry photo of your first bullseye, honestly? That's still a win.

Randy Crabtree goes in-house with Tri-Merit's Barry Devine, a veteran in the specialty tax incentive space, on Episode 211 of The Unique CPA. Renewable energy tax credits have come to the forefront as a way for nonprofits to fund community-strengthening projects, and Barry pulls from his extensive experience in leveraging these credits and incentives to illustrate the incredible opportunities that are out there right now. Highlighting the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on making these credits accessible to nonprofits, they discuss real-world examples Barry was a part of, including projects for the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County and a Minnesota hospital, while delving into the legislative landscape and future prospects for renewable energy incentives. Barry's strong advice to CPAs on how to support their nonprofit clients in taking advantage of these lucrative credits is a must-listen.
