Legislating and Leading on Student Basic Needs: College Student Government Efforts Toward Inclusion
1 Introduction Inclusion sits at the center of this article; notably, where, how, and when student government intersects with students’ basic needs. While some students face no financial constraints and have consistent access to essentials, others grapple daily with acquiring basic needs (Latz 2024; Wood and Harris 2018).

Reducing Consult View-Alert Burden in VA Oncology Through Consult Tracking Manager Implementation
Background: Consult-related view alerts in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) electronic health record are a well-recognized driver of communication burden, particularly for oncology clinicians managing high consult volumes. Alert fatigue can compromise workflow efficiency, contribute to clinician burnout, and threaten the quality and timeliness of veteran cancer care. Despite growing awareness, actionable system-level solutions within the VA remain limited.
Island City Stage Mounts Nationwide Actor Search for 15th Anniversary Season Production of Paper Cut by Andrew Rosendorf
Island City Stage is mounting a nationwide lead actor search for its 15th anniversary season production of Paper Cut by Andrew Rosendorf, a dramatic look at the emotional toll of war.
Supreme Court Raises Bar for Induced Infringement in ‘Skinny Label’ Generic Case
In a unanimous decision with immediate consequences for Hatch‑Waxman litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court has significantly narrowed the scope of induced patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. Section 271(b). In Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma, Inc., the court made clear that allegations of inducement must be grounded in affirmative conduct that actually encourages infringement—not inferences drawn from ambiguous statements or routine commercial activity.
Brownstein Adds Michael Goodman as Shareholder in Denver
Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce that Michael Goodman has joined the firm as a shareholder in its Denver office, further expanding its capabilities in FDA regulatory and life sciences matters. Goodman advises clients on complex regulatory, transactional and dispute matters before FDA and other health authorities.
Multicenter Evaluation of a New Strip-Based Blood Glucose System for Point-of-Care Testing in Critical and Non-Critical Care Settings
Background: Evaluation of the performance of Cobas® Pulse (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany), a new blood glucose (BG) monitoring system (BGMS; referred to here as BGMSA) intended for point-of-care testing using samples from patients in diverse clinical settings by intended point-of-care test operators.
Dems are finally speaking up on Mamdani's sickening embrace of antisemitism
Original Article Posted By: Mercedes44, 7/27/2025 5:20:23 AM Did you hear the good news? Some top Democrats finally are finding the courage to slam Zohran Mamdani's sickening embrace of antisemitism. Sadly, the news comes with a catch: the big Dems doing the right thing are not from New York. A reasonable conclusion is that the continuing silence from Gov.

Enabling Structural Resilience of Street-Involved Children and Youth in Kenya: Reintegration Outcomes and the Flourishing Community Model
Abstract Introduction: Millions of children and youth live on city streets across the globe, vulnerable to substance use, abuse, material and structural neglect. Structural resilience, the re-establishment of access to structural goods within a society such as housing, education, and healthcare following some interruption, provides an orientation for research and interventional efforts with street-involved children and youth (SICY).

Midday Market Brief: Wait and See
With the corporate news cycle easing into the sparse summer season, economic data will have to pull more of the weight to push the market significantly higher. Stocks were down slightly on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 off 0.3%. The sideways action — much like Monday’s — comes as investors kick rocks around before two key releases on Wednesday: the consumer price index for May and the Federal Reserve’s “dot plot,” both of which could offer a clue about if and when interest-rate cuts will come.
The Airline Industry Would Rather You Didn’t Know How Well It’s Doing
To the airline industry, you’re nothing more than an iced latte. That supposed equivalence arises after a report from The International Air Transport Association (IATA) on Monday that attempted to explain why an expected 2024 industry-wide profit of $30.5 billion isn’t as wonderful as it seems. The IATA’s semi-annual report raised the industry’s profit forecast for the year by nearly 19% from six months ago and said it expects revenue to climb nearly 10% to $996 billion.
Midday Market Brief: Tech Tanks
We may be at one of those points in the market cycle where we’re not getting much reason to push higher — and too many reasons to hang out at current levels. The Nasdaq was down 1.4% on Friday in part because of the disappointing guidance from PC giant Dell late Thursday hitting the sentiment for all things technology. Kick in a ho-hum Q1 report from semiconductor company Marvell and it appears to be a good place to pause for an index that had jumped 9% in less than a month.
Walgreens Price Cuts Confirm More Consumers Are Getting Picky
It’s knives out for US retailers, with Walgreens being the latest to cut prices on thousands of its products to stay competitive and adapt to changing consumer spending habits. Earlier this month, just two days before a less-than-stellar first-quarter earnings report, Target began cutting prices on 5,000 grocery store items including milk, diapers, drinks, fruit, and cleaning products.
Samsung Faces Strike Action as Big Tech Labor Mobilization Goes Global
Workers of the world aren’t exactly uniting, but they do seem to be stirring, at least in techland. South Korean phone and chip giant Samsung is facing a strike action from the National Samsung Electronics Union, its biggest union representing roughly 28,000 workers. The union announced Wednesday that it will stage a one-day walkout on June 7 with workers using their paid annual leave en masse, with potentially more strikes to come without management concessions.
ConocoPhillips Acquires Marathon Oil in $22 Billion Deal
Unlike oil itself, which separates over time, the oil industry is coming together. On Wednesday, ConocoPhillips agreed to acquire rival Marathon Oil in an all-stock deal with an enterprise value of $22.5 billion, including $5.4 billion in debt. It’s just the latest in a long wave of mergers and acquisitions in the oil industry. In the past year, the oil industry has experienced massive consolidation.
Japanese Automakers Turn to Gas, Biofuel Engines as EV Adoption Stalls
Just as surging gas prices during the 1970s provided Japanese carmakers with an opportunity, Japan Inc. is ready to capitalize on the greatest fear on American roads today: running out of charge. Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru are forging a new path in the fledgling era of all-electric vehicles.
Big Tech’s Fascination with Large Language Models May Be Overkill
AI models are like babies: constant growth spurts make them fussier and needier. As the AI race continues to heat up, frontrunners like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are throwing billions at massive foundational AI models comprising hundreds of billions of parameters. But they may be starting to lose the plot. Big Tech firms are continuously trying to make AI models, well, bigger.
China Raises $47 Billion to Stoke the Global Semiconductor Arms Race
Never mind, we’ll do it ourselves. Over the weekend, Beijing announced a $47 billion fundraise for its so-called Big Fund that supports new companies and technologies in the country’s semiconductor industry. Timing Is Everything The new infusion marks the third and largest-ever investment for the fund, which was christened about 10 years ago with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s ascension to office — and specifically his plan to rejuvenate China’s manufacturing industry.
For Better or Worse, The Stock Market is All About These 10 Stocks
To say the S&P 500 Index is top-heavy would be a vast understatement. The top 10 companies have reached a weight not seen since the 1970s, with their market capitalization accounting for about one-third of the entire index. Kudos to them for such fantastic gains, but there could be a downside to this much concentration. The 10 relevant stocks are Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, two classes of Alphabet, Berkshire Hathaway, Broadcom, and Eli Lilly. That’s it, that’s the list.
Most Pandemic-Darling Stocks Aren’t Too Healthy
When the world was turned upside down by COVID-19, some companies suddenly found a new lease on life as we pivoted to at-home work, fitness, and everything else. Many of those companies, however, have since experienced a profound fall from grace. The Financial Times reported in May that the 50 companies with the biggest pandemic-era gains have collectively lost $1.5 trillion in market value since the close of 2020. So where are some of those companies now, and how are they doing?
The Scarlett Johansson-OpenAI Clash is a Vision of the Future
Life imitates art. And so does artificial intelligence. OpenAI recently debuted its latest edition of ChatGPT, a voice assistant called GPT-4o. The problem? One of the voices users can select, a personality called Sky, sounds eerily similar to actress Scarlett Johansson, and, specifically, her voice performance as an AI assistant in the 2013 movie Her. Too similar, says Johansson, who said she turned down an offer to provide her voice last year and is threatening legal action.
Best Buy and Amazon Are Among Most Impersonated Companies by Scammers
Though it flies in the face of The Who’s 1971 hit, we probably will get fooled again. In 2023, scammers stole a record $10 billion from Americans, according to the Federal Trade Commission, and in many cases, the swindlers were emboldened by impersonating familiar and popular companies like Amazon, Best Buy, and Apple. If the Frank Abignale biopic “Catch Me If You Can” taught us anything, it’s that it’s pretty easy to impersonate someone else.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Might Have Broken Up Live Nation
In this case, Taylor Swift is anything but the anti-hero. The US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, alleging that it has violated antitrust laws by maintaining a monopoly in the event-ticketing industry. The suit, which was joined by 30 states, seeks remedies including a breakup of Live Nation.
Jamie Dimon Seems Unfazed About JPMorgan’s Tepid China Business
At times like these, one is reminded of Wile E. Coyote running out into thin air before remembering that gravity exists. In a brief respite from warning there’s still a risk of a “hard landing” for the US economy, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told attendees of the bank’s conference in Shanghai on Thursday that parts of the company’s business in China had “fallen off a cliff” in the past few years.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Might Have Broken Up Live Nation
4 hours ago Travis Kelce is feeling grateful for Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson’s matchmaking skills. On Thursday, May 23, Andrews, 46, and Thompson, 42, jokingly took credit for bringing the NFL star, 34, and his popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift together on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The NFL …
Inflation Has Helped Make the Average US Car Older Than Ever
And miles to go before we sleep or trade in the clunker. The average age of cars and light trucks in the US has reached a record high of 12.6 years in 2024, up by roughly two months from last year, according to a new market analysis. Changing the oil every 3,000 miles and regular inspections are a lot cheaper than springing for a new ride. Everybody loves that new car smell, but the pandemic and its ensuing financial crisis put that purchase out of reach for many.
Regulation is Here at Last for Buy Now, Pay Later
The buy now, pay later industry is paying now for its lack of transparency. On Wednesday, the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced new rules that finally put up some guardrails around buy now, pay later (BNPL) players. Their solution? To treat providers a lot like — you guessed it — credit cards. BNPL has long allowed customers to place purchases into a four-month payment plan.
Amazon Reignites its Warehouse and Logistics Expansion
Ever wonder what big old Amazon thinks of all the headway other retailers are making online? Now we know. After roughly two years off, Amazon is aggressively expanding its warehouse and logistics network, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Walmart’s e-commerce ambitions and the ascendancy of discount online sellers Shein and Temu may just be to thank.
Grayscale’s CEO Steps Down as Investors Bail on Bitcoin Fund
Finance 9 hours ago Grayscale appoints Goldman Sachs exec as new CEO cryptobriefing.com • 9h Grayscale Investments' Michael Sonnenshein is stepping down as CEO after over a decade of working with the crypto asset management firm.
Grayscale’s CEO Steps Down as Investors Bail on Bitcoin Fund
It’s a Monkey’s Paw parable straight out of Tales from the Crypt(o). Less than nine months after Grayscale Investments won a lengthy court battle against the SEC to start offering a spot Bitcoin ETF to the public, its CEO has departed and its flagship fund is losing ground to several rivals. The early days of crypto were heady times for Grayscale.
Hims & Hers Stock Jumps On New Discount Weight-Loss Drug Offering
Did a generic company just get an “Advance to GO” card in the new weight loss pharmaceuticals gold rush? As Novo Nordisk and the other freshly minted kinds of weight-loss drug companies struggle to keep pace with demand, telehealth firm Hims & Hers announced Monday it’s offering a generic version of a GLP-1 injection at a radically reduced cost. Consumers have something of a legal loophole to thank. Popularity can be a double-edged sword.
Has Fox Turned Tubi into a Streaming Success?
Lachlan Murdoch is hoping Tubi will do to streaming what streamers did to television, which had been very kind to him and his family. Last week, at the TV industry’s annual “upfronts” event with advertisers, the Fox CEO pitched the massive — and perhaps surprising — growth of its free streaming service, an example of the increasingly popular FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) platform. But just how big a force is Tubi, exactly?
Luxury Stores Are Bucking the Commercial Property Downturn
What are the three most important words in commercial real estate today? Luxury, luxury, luxury. While high interest rates across the US and Europe have hurt commercial property values, real estate attached to luxury brands has skirted the trend. It turns out that supply and demand can still trump the onerousness of rates at nearly 17-year highs. High interest rates can be a real burden for consumers, which is the idea: The goal is to slow an economy whose growth is stoking inflation.
The Next Big US-China Trade War is Over AI Talent
The thing about trade wars is they really stop you from trading… Reports have piled up about how Big Tech companies have turned on their money hoses to poach top AI talent from each other. They’ve also turned on the charm — both OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have reportedly been personally involved in courting candidates and offering lavish salaries. But a larger and more intractable talent war is brewing between the US and China.
April’s Inflation Report Finally Hints at Progress
The wealth-devouring monster is not dead, but it may be gravely wounded. Inflation showed signs of easing slightly in April, and core prices — which exclude food and energy — slowed to their lowest increase since April 2021. While the Federal Reserve will likely want more evidence of slowing before cutting interest rates, it’s probably safe to assume they’re not thinking about raising them anytime soon.
Billionaire Frank McCourt Pursues TikTok Acquisition
Real estate billionaire Frank McCourt wants to take on the mother of all TikTok challenges: Improving the internet. On Wednesday, McCourt told Semafor that he’s cobbling together a bid to acquire TikTok. His goal? “A new and better version of the internet, where individuals are respected.” Somehow that seems harder than mastering the “Renegade” dance.
What Happens If Section 230 Gets Sunsetted?
We were given a lot of things in 1996: the advent of Hotmail, the Spice Girls’ timeless classic “Wannabe,” the cinematic triumph that is “Space Jam” … the list is endless. It also gave us a small piece of legislation that would shape the internet as we know and love it (well, love to hate it) today.
Biden Reportedly Planning a 100% Tariff on Chinese EVs
In the latest chapter of the battle for America’s auto industry (and let’s be honest, the Oval Office), the Biden administration is expected to announce higher tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles this week, quadrupling the duty to roughly 100%. But even at double the price, they’d still be cheaper by far than the least expensive American EV.
Bargain-Hunting Investors Are Bidding Up UK Stocks
As the Venture Brothers of Cartoon Network fame put it, what goes down must come up. Underperformance is never the goal in financial markets. But do it long enough, and you might start looking like the best new place to invest. UK stocks have been outperforming US stocks on a broad index-based level for the past seven weeks, with the FTSE 100 gaining about 9% since March 20, and the S&P 500 only rising 0.9% during that time. But this isn’t exactly a case of a sudden UK economic renaissance.
TikTok to Start Labeling AI-Created Content
AI-enhanced content will come with a warning label on TikTok. On Thursday, the popular, perhaps soon-to-be-banned short-form video giant announced it would begin labeling content created using both its own generative AI tools as well as those from third parties. It’s a sign that the burgeoning AI world may be evolving toward industry standards.
Europe Wants to Fix Its Widening Productivity Gap With the US
In at least one regard, Europeans wish they were a little more like Americans. Productivity (the labor kind) is a standard measure of how much work it takes your economy to produce what it produces. If a country’s GDP can grow faster than wages, its economy is on the right track. That isn’t happening at all in Europe.
Regulators Look to Expand Whistleblower Reward Programs
You know how to whistle, don’t you? All it takes is a good incentive program. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the past few years have seen an uptick in government agencies, in the US and beyond, either setting up whistleblower reward programs or warming to the idea. With news of another Boeing whistleblower coming forward, such programs may become more essential.
UBS Has Left its Credit Suisse Burden Behind
As the Swiss say, that’s cheese! After two consecutive quarters of losses, Zurich-based banking giant UBS swung back to a profit in a big way, announcing on Tuesday that it posted a net income of $1.8 billion in this year’s first quarter. The company’s stock responded in kind, closing up 7%.
The Private-Equity Takeover Bell Is Tolling for Peloton
Nobody wishes it was 2021 again — except maybe Peloton. The COVID-era unicorn is rather lifeless today, and private equity vultures are reportedly circling above its powder-coated steel frame. But hey, who aren’t they circling these days? Peloton was one of the breakout stars of the pandemic as waves of people looking to socially distance but also stay active shelled out big money for its line of exercise bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines — and don’t forget subscriptions to its fitness app.
Robinhood’s Crypto Unit Receives SEC Wells Notice
Robinhood, meet the Sheriff of Nottingham. On Monday, the stocks-and-investing app announced it received a “Wells Notice” from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, with the agency saying it had made a “preliminary determination” to recommend enforcement against its crypto division for alleged violations of securities law. It all resurfaces the now time-worn question: What is crypto if not a security? The case, while still not a certainty, should surprise precisely no one.
Brick-and-Mortar Stores Start Leaning into Online Shopping
Three decades after what’s commonly thought to be the first e-commerce transaction, brick-and-mortar retailers may be starting to figure out online shopping. Multiple brands are shaping their businesses to have both ways of shopping complement one another to better meet consumer habits, The Wall Street Journal reported. E-commerce took off in the 1990s with the creation of Amazon, eBay, PayPal, and a whole litany of online versions of popular department stores.
Renters Are Losing Hope They’ll Ever Own a House
Higher-for-longer means renting for longer. As interest rates hover at their highest level in 15 years with the Federal Reserve sitting on the rate-cut sidelines, the troubling side effects for consumer sentiment are hard to ignore — especially for renters’ dreams of buying a house. On Monday, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released its 2024 survey of consumer expectations, which mostly showed an uptick in expectations that nothing about housing is getting cheaper anytime soon.
Warren Buffett Doesn’t See Much Reason to Deplete Huge Cash Pile
Shares of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway have climbed more than 11% this year, ballooning its market cap to $862 billion as the company held its annual shareholder meeting over the weekend. But that’s not all that’s inflating. The Omaha, Nebraska, investment conglomerate reported that its cash pile reached a record $189 billion in the first quarter, continuing a trend from this time last year: Warren Buffett & Co. just aren’t into that many companies these days.
