Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland died on Thursday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 24. In other news, the Federal Aviation Administration is planning on reducing flights at DFW International Airport, Dallas Love Field and a swath of other major U.S. airports in an unprecedented move as the ongoing government shutdown wreaks havoc on the aviation sector; a federal appeals court ruled Thursday that a previously blocked law designed to ban public drag performances can now go into effect. A panel of judges on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a 2023 ruling from a Houston federal judge that had blocked enforcement of the law indefinitely; and a joint committee of Dallas City Council members voted unanimously Thursday to shelve a proposal that would have reimbursed the city for allowing police officers to help enforce federal immigration laws.

Episode Notes My guests include MICAH Memphis President Rev. Keith Caldwell. In the midst of what is happening in our city on a few fronts, he has been pretty busy of late. From the Federal intervention and the fear and uncertainty for many as it continues, to the refusal of the Mayor to sign a memorandum of understanding with unions, he shares his thoughts on a busy time. Next, the government shutdown is starting to have a real effect on federal workers and programs like SNAP and other vital programs people depend on to feed their families that are in real jeopardy. TN State Representative and Democratic Caucus Chair John Ray Clemmons joins me to express his concerns and what the Governor should do to help, not harm thousands who would be affected. Now that the weather is changing and turning cooler, illnesses are beginning to crop up. It's time for a medical update from Infectious disease specialist Dr. Steve Threlkeld to tell us what to watch out for. That and more both on air and online Monday, 6 pm on 91.7 WYXR.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Brad Hutchcraft has seen what happens when we take Jesus' command to share the Gospel seriously. He said, “It's when we share Jesus with someone that we get to see the impact it has on their lives and how the lights come on for someone. And it's infectious.” When you tell someone about Jesus and watch their life change, it fuels your own faith. The joy of seeing God work in another person's heart is contagious—it makes you want to keep going. So today, let's share Jesus with someone who needs the hope found only in Him. It's exciting to join God in the work He is already doing. And when you step out in faith and share the Gospel, you never know how God might use your obedience to ignite faith in another life. For resources to help you share your faith and to watch the full interview with Brad and Doug Hutchcraft, visit sharelife.today.

Infectious diseases have been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout history. Today, however, the burden of infectious diseases is diminishing while the mobility from chronic, non-infectious diseases is growing dramatically. Low-resource nations are particularly ill-equipped to manage diabetes, hypertension, chronic lung, and chronic heart diseases. This session illuminates the power of lifestyle improvements, continuity of primary care, and provision of life-saving medications.

Dr. Jeremy Silver, emergency physician at Northwestern's Kishwaukee and Valley West Hospitals, joins Dean Richards for this week's health update. This week, Dr. Silver talks about the latest surge in COVID cases in the United States and shares tips on tick safety.

Infectious disease physician Janet A. Jokela discusses her article, "Measles is back: Why vaccination is more vital than ever." Recounting her own experience diagnosing a case in the 1990s, Janet contrasts that contained incident with the current crisis in 2025, which has seen over 1000 cases and the first pediatric deaths in the U.S. in 22 years. The conversation covers the critical 95 percent vaccination rate required for herd immunity, a threshold the country is falling below, and explains why measles is one of the most contagious diseases known. Janet dismantles dangerous misinformation about the MMR vaccine and ineffective alternative treatments, emphasizing that the vaccine is 97 percent effective and has saved millions of lives. For listeners, the key takeaways are to understand the severe, and sometimes fatal, complications of measles—such as pneumonia and encephalitis—and to recognize that the benefits of the MMR vaccine far outweigh any risks.

What happens when an old virus makes a new appearance? In this episode, we explore the legacy and resurgence of Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA)—a disease that has shaped the global salmon industry for decades. With recent outbreaks reported in Northern Norway, we dive into what ISA is, how it spreads, and what history can teach us from past crises in Canada, Chile, Scotland, and the Faroe Islands. You'll learn how modern tools like genetic sequencing, DNA vaccines, and strict biosecurity protocols are helping farms fight back—and what today's uptick in cases might signal for the industry's future. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.

Research in the past has indicated that neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease are non-infectious. But what if it was possible to catch a brain infection? Joining us to discuss this fascinating topic is Dr. Or Shemesh, an expert working to build and utilize new technologies to study and reverse brain disease… Dr. Shemesh is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Departments of Neurobiology and Bioengineering.
