Happy Hump Day, yo! Got some REALLY nice weather in front of us with high temps in the upper-60's this weekend. I'm so ready for summer to be over. I hate the heat. We started things off this morning with an update on the Powerball jackpot, and a warning from the Wisconsin Department of Health Service about a possible measles exposure at a couple of travel plazas. Also in the news this morning, a second person has been arrested & charged in a child torture case in Winona, and the FDA is investigating some radioactive shrimp at Walmart! In sports, the Brewers lost both games to the Cubs yesterday, a look at the NFL's final week of preseason football, John Wall calls it a career, and Sophie Cunningham is done for the season. Elsewhere in sports, boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. gets deported & arrested, a well-known gymnastics coach has been charged with possession of child pornography, and Shaq might be in a celebrity boxing match with Will Smith's former bodyguard. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we also talked about the upcoming "Home Improvement" reunion on Tim Allen's new series. Crazy story about a woman in Texas who is a quadruple who just gave birth to quintuplets! And check out this story about a school district in Pennsylvania that's using 3D-printed violins to save money and inspire kids. Are you feeling like you get dumber & dumber by the day? Here's four reasons why that might be happening. A recent survey found that 21% of men get anxious about getting their hair cut. And a look at some of the lowest-paying jobs in America. Have you seen the Colts new pretzel? It's got a very distinct appearance. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a judge that accidentally read a guilty verdict when it was actually NOT guilty, a psycho who keeps ordering & returning 100lb anvils on Amazon, a #FloridaWoman who has the same mugshot every time she gets popped for DUI, and a guy who likely murdered his wife & got caught on a doorbell camera dragging her body out of his apartment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In dieser Folge von Kassenzone spricht Karo Junker de Neui mit Sebastian Kebbe, Geschäftsführer bei Beurer. Das Traditionsunternehmen aus Ulm steht seit über 100 Jahren für (elektronische) Gesundheits- und Wohlfühlprodukte, von Blutdruckmessgeräten bis hin zu Massagegeräten, Heizkissen und bald sogar Zahnbürsten sowie Haustierzubehör. Sebastian gibt tiefe Einblicke in die beeindruckende Breite des Beurer-Sortiments (über 1.700 Produkte), die internationale Marktpräsenz in 140 Ländern und das organische Wachstum durch kontinuierliche Produktentwicklung. Besonders beeindruckend ist dabei, dass Beurer nicht nur Markenhersteller fungiert, sondern mit fünf eigenen Werken (u. a. in Europa und Asien) die komplette Wertschöpfungskette besitzt. Ein strategischer Vorteil im Kampf um Resilienz, Qualität und Margenstabilität gegenüber Billigkonkurrenz wie Temu. Im Gespräch geht es auch um die Rolle von E-Commerce. Rund 60 % des Umsatzes laufen mittlerweile online, mit Amazon als wichtigstem Kanal. Gleichzeitig investiert Beurer gezielt in D2C, Social Media und Content, u. a. mit einem TikTok-Shop und wachsendem Fokus auf CRM und Markenbindung über Connected Devices und Health-Services. Neue Wachstumstreiber sind außerdem schon in den Startlöchern. Neben Zahnpflegeprodukten wird mit „Love Your Pet by Beurer“ eine neue Marke für Petcare-Produkte gelauncht. Auch Themen wie internationale Expansion, Markenbildung über TV und Social Media sowie die Weiterentwicklung des Beurer-Claims stehen im Zentrum. Ein spannender Blick hinter die Kulissen eines Traditionsunternehmens, der zeigt, wie man sich im Wellbeing-Segment zukunftsfähig und kundennah positioniert.

(The Center Square) – The Washington state Department of Social and Health Services' spending since 2015 has nearly tripled from $9 billion to $25.4 billion, a 182.22% increase heavily driven by long-term care cost increases due in part to an aging population. Since the 2013-15 budget, long-term care spending grew from $3.8 to $12.9 billion, and now represents half of DSHS' biennial budget. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_bb21f8a4-c9c2-4bd0-8e4f-a1e76e308bc4.html

Slender Man Stabbing Accomplice Approved for Conditional Release from Mental Hospital After More Than a Decade A Wisconsin woman who nearly killed a classmate at age 12 in an infamous attack inspired by the fictional character Slender Man will be conditionally released from a psychiatric hospital more than a decade later, a judge ruled Thursday. Morgan Geyser, now 22, has been confined to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute since she was found not criminally responsible for the 2014 stabbing of her friend, Payton Leutner, in Waukesha, Wisconsin. On Thursday, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Scott Wagner signed off on a new conditional release plan developed by the Department of Health Services. The plan comes after an earlier version was rejected in April over concerns raised by Leutner's family, including that Geyser's proposed group home was located just eight miles from Leutner's residence. The exact details and timing of Geyser's release have not been made public for safety and privacy reasons. Her attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment. On May 31, 2014, Geyser and her friend Anissa Weier, both 12 at the time, lured Leutner into the woods at David's Park following a sleepover. There, Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times with a kitchen knife while Weier encouraged her. One of the stab wounds narrowly missed Leutner's heart. Severely injured, Leutner managed to crawl to a nearby bike path where a passerby found her and called for help. She miraculously survived the attack after emergency surgery and weeks of recovery. The motive, according to investigators, was chilling: Geyser and Weier believed that murdering Leutner would please Slender Man, a fictional internet character, and prove themselves worthy to become his “proxies.” They feared that if they didn't comply, Slender Man would harm their families. After the stabbing, the two girls began walking toward northern Wisconsin, claiming they were trying to find Slender Man's mansion, which they believed was in the Nicolet National Forest. They were arrested hours later on Interstate 94 in nearby Waukesha County. In 2017, Geyser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide as a party to a crime but was found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. In 2018, she was committed to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute for up to 40 years. Weier also pleaded guilty in 2017 to attempted second-degree intentional homicide with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 25 years in a mental health facility. She was conditionally released in 2021, agreeing to live with her father and wear a GPS monitor. Prosecutors and state health officials initially opposed Geyser's release. In March 2024, they cited concerning behavior, including her reading a novel involving murder and organ trafficking and communicating with a man known to collect “murderabilia.” Geyser reportedly sent him a graphic sketch and a suggestive postcard. However, her defense attorney countered that her reading materials were approved by staff and that her communication with the man had ceased after she learned he was selling items she had sent. The presiding judge at the time, Judge Michael Bohren, concluded she wasn't concealing anything and allowed the release planning to proceed. Judge Wagner assumed the case after Bohren retired in April. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Central Virginia Health Services knows how crucial it is to automate tasks at scale. According to Kimberly Ferguson, Director of Clinical Operations, their community health centers treat one-third of all Virginia residents, some 46,000 users per year. In this video, Ferguson describes how the Sunoh.ai medical scribe helps their physicians become more productive, form more patient relationships, and reduce burn-out.One of the most interesting things Ferguson did when implementing Sunoh.ai was to leverage an after hours work report from their eClinicalWorks EHR.  This report more commonly known as the "pajama time" report showed when clinicians were working and what they were working on.  After-hours use ("pajama time") was very high when they began, and most of this overtime was spent entering documentation.  Ferguson and the team leveraged this report to identify who could benefit the most from Sunoh.ai.  Plus, they used it to track how after hours work changed after implementing Sunoh.ai.Learn more about Central Virginia Health Services: https://www.cvhsinc.org/Learn more about eClinicalWorks: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Learn more about Sunoh.ai: https://sunoh.ai/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

The Indian Health Service (IHS) remains largely misunderstood by those not directly connected to it, and often derided as a bureaucratic and confusing system by those who are. IHS marks its 70th anniversary, providing care to all Native citizens. Of course, the agency's history is also documented in the hundreds of treaties over almost 200 years in which the U.S. Government explicitly signed on to its responsibility. We'll trace the history of IHS from the first immunizations to Public Law 638, and chart its future amid a major reassessment of federal government services.

With the rise of all things AI, what effect is this having on trafficking and exploitation? To share more about this we invited Nancy Irizarry, Social Services Director for the Wisconsin Dept. of Health Services and Co-Chair for the Wisconsin Anti-Trafficking Consortium. Nancy provides an insightful analysis on what she believes are positives to AI utilization when it comes to identification and prevention of trafficking but also shares some of the chief ways it aids recruitment using deception and coercion for traffickers and abusers. She also shares about how crucial it is to bring survivors to the table and to be mindful about the unintended consequences ai can have on existing survivors' privacy and safety.

The difference between forceps (which look like fancy salad tongs) and vacuum devices (like the KiwiVac) was explained—with forceps generally having a higher risk for maternal tearing, while vacuums can be safer for the mother but have their own set of risks for baby. Forceps use is becoming rare in the US, and many younger doctors are not trained in both tools; most providers specialize in one over the other. The vacuum method, such as the KiwiVac, doesn't just involve pulling—the device helps rotate and flex the baby's head to ease passage through the pelvis, working in tandem with the mother's pushing effort. Not every provider can use both vacuums and forceps, and midwives in the US generally use vacuums regionally; outside the US, like in Europe, midwives may use vacuums more routinely. Assisted deliveries make up less than 5% of births, so most people will not need them, but knowing about the process can reduce fear if the situation arises. Before offering assisted delivery, doctors must ensure the baby is low enough, the mother's pelvis is adequate, and water is broken—these tools can't compensate for a truly “stuck” baby or incomplete dilation. Vacuums and sometimes forceps can even be used during C-sections if the baby is deeply engaged or in an awkward position, to help bring the baby up through the uterine incision. Consent and clear communication are vital—sometimes decisions have to be made quickly, so it helps when patients have discussed these possibilities in advance with their providers. The episode emphasized not to fear assisted deliveries—they're tools to reduce C-sections and make births safer when used by skilled, well-trained professionals, and advances like the KiwiVac improve outcomes for both moms and babies.
