top 646 K92 Mining Announces Multiple New Near-Mine Infrastructure Dilatant Zones Identified and High-Grade Zones ExtendedThe San Francisco Bay Area music scene salutes beloved concert promoter, graphic artist and club fixture Michael "Mikey" Madfes with a three-part, two-venue memorial in the city's Potrero Hill neighborhood Sunday. A seemingly ubiquitous presence at rock venues on both sides of the bay dating back to the '90s, Madfes has worked as doorman, bar manager and independent promoter at most of the currently active local clubs in SF and the East Bay -- including the Ivy Room, the Rickshaw Stop, the Bottom of the Hill, the Knockout, the Masonic, the Fillmore, Bender's, Thee Parkside, the Kilowatt, the SF Eagle, the Golden Bull and the Cat Club. He also was a regular sight at numerous defunct spots that are part of San Francisco's storied nightlife history like the Covered Wagon Saloon, Annie's Social Club and the Pound. Born in the city in 1979, he attended George Washington High School and cultivated his interest in music working at Tower Records as a teenager. He went on to graduate from San Francisco State University and started augmenting his jobs in bars and nightclubs with graphic and web design work for local businesses, film festivals and radio stations. Madfes also started making stickers -- often with a musical and or satirical bent -- that he would slap up around San Francisco. Over the decades to come, that street art project blossomed into his SubliminalSF brand that mixed art, concert promotion (with a focus on underground metal and punk bands) and t-shirt design that showcased his dark sense of humor and gifts as a visual artist. That venture would evolve into his Running With Scissors (RWS) promotion business that revived the Bottom of the Hill's Sunday barbecue matinee shows and presented several editions of the Heavy Psych Sounds Festival. Through his hard work, discerning taste and acerbic yet warm demeanor, Madfes became a vital part of the fabric of Bay Area nightlife. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in his sleep on Sept. 3, 2024, leaving a void in the local music scene that will be next to impossible to fill. Madfes is survived by his father David and sister Sasha along with a huge community of friends, collaborators and colleagues who will come together Sunday, Dec. 8, to celebrate his life in the only appropriate way: with a full day and evening of loud live music at two of the venues where he regularly put on shows. The memorial events -- dubbed "Madfest" or "WWMMD (What Would Mikey Madfes Do?)" -- will begin with a celebration of life and remembrance at Thee Parkside at 2 p.m. Sunday that will be followed by a four-band bill down 17th St. at the Bottom of the Hill at 5 p.m. featuring some of Mikey's favorite local metal bands, topped by experimental group Sleepbomb. A group that has made a name for itself since 2003 performing live original ambient drone/doom soundtracks to movies like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari , Conan the Barbarian , Metropolis and Bladerunner , Sleepbomb currently features bassist/synth player Tim Gotch, singer/keyboardist Claire Hamard, guitarist Charlie Hernandez and drummer Rob Johnson. While the band has been making music in various configurations for two decades, live performances during film screenings were the main way fans could experience their music. However, last year Bill Gould -- bassist for Bay Area band Faith No More who has also collaborated with Mexican grindcore band Brujeria, This Heat drummer Charles Hayward and the late MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer -- released the group's soundtrack to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari on his Kool Arrow imprint. A collection of music drawn from the band's score for George Romero's Night of the Living Dead entitled The Sleeping Dead is set to be issued next month. The line-up also includes local metal heroes Molten. The all-star quintet features a murderer's row of scene veterans including guitarists Chris Corona (Floating Goat, Hazzard's Cure, and Wild Eyes among others), Gary Goudreau (East Coast band End-time Illusion), drummer Damon Lockaby (Banquet) and former Hell Fire bassist Herman Bandala playing bass as well as keys and classical guitar (singer Brandon Bristol rounds out the band). The band quickly gained a following with its brutal mix of thrash and death metal influences, garnering national press coverage just on the strength of their demo. Molten self-released its punishing debut full-length Dystopian Syndrome in 2021 to wide praise. The band's latest acclaimed album Malicide came out on Transylvanian Recordings earlier this year. The Bottom of the Hill show is rounded out by corrosive old-school metal band Gravedodger and San Francisco headbangers Theya . After that show concludes, the third and final event will bring attendees back to Thee Parkside at 9 p.m. for another show that includes the East Bay's self-described "beast metal" outfit Vorlust, Oakland hardcore bands Powerhouse and Party Force and reunited pre-Neurosis punk group Violent Coercion.New Jersey interim Sen. George Helmy stepping down for Andy Kim to be sworn in early

The surreptitious and sweeping nature of President Biden’s maneuver to pardon his son was so jarring that it reportedly caught the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney off guard. Days after a family Thanksgiving powwow in Nantucket, Biden, 82, publicly announced that he was breaking his and the White House’s longstanding public pledge and bestowing his troubled son with a blanket pardon for any offenses committed — or possibly committed — between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024. Typically, presidents consult with the Office of the Pardon Attorney when making such decisions, but the office was surprised by his move, one source told Politico . Standard practice for the Office of the Pardon Attorney generally recommends complete pardons for individuals who already completed their sentences. Hunter Biden wasn’t set to face sentencing until next week. Therefore, the Office of the Pardon Attorney likely would not have recommended such action for the president’s scandal-scarred son, the New York Times first reported. Moreover, the lame-duck president went a step further and departed from typical norms by issuing a “full and unconditional” pardon broader than any done in modern history except for former President Gerald Ford’s controversial clemency for his predecessor Richard Nixon. Critics within the Democratic Party and progressive circles have fretted that Biden has given President-elect Donald Trump a fresh excuse and precedent to issue similarly broad pardons. “I know that there was a real strong sentiment in, you know, wanting to protect Hunter Biden, 54, from unfair prosecution,” Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) told CNN. “But this is going to be used against us when we’re fighting the misuses that are coming from the Trump administration.” Still, presidents have long enjoyed sweeping discretion under the Constitution to grant clemency, with the major limitation restricting them from committing a crime such as bribery when issuing a pardon. Biden is far from the first president to bypass the Office of the Pardon Attorney’s recommendations. Trump, 78, for example, granted clemency on numerous occasions to individuals who hadn’t been recommended by that office. In issuing his pardon, the 46th president claimed that “Hunter was treated differently” and blamed his son’s prosecution on his political opponents, echoing Trump’s rhetoric on the four indictments he faced. Ironically, it had been Biden’s own Justice Department that pursued the charges against the first son. Trump decried the outgoing president’s pardon as “an abuse and miscarriage of justice.” “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?” he added in a Truth Social post, hinting that he may pardon some of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol rioters. During the twilight days of his first term, Trump’s administration had received a request for a similarly broad pardon of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), subsequent congressional testimony claimed. But that was rejected. Trump also dangled a possible self-pardon, something that has been untested in the courts, but that idea was similarly turned down, the New York Times reported . During the Biden administration, the Office of the Pardon Attorney fielded almost 12,000 requests for the president’s intervention. Thus far, the president has doled out 157 clemencies, including 25 pardons to eliminate convictions and 132 commutations to shrink sentences, per da ta from the Office of the Pardon Attorney. It is not clear if those statistics include the president’s pardon of Hunter Biden. By contrast, Trump had granted clemency on 238 occasions, including 94 commutations and 144 pardons, according to the Office of the Pardon Attorney. The Post contacted spokespeople for both the White House and the Office of the Pardon Attorney for comment. On Tuesday, US District Judge Maryellen Noreika ordered that “all proceedings in this case are hereby terminated” for the three counts against him related to possession of a firearm while addicted to illicit drugs. The nine-count tax evasion case in California was not marked closed as of 4 p.m. EST on Tuesday, though the defense team has filed a motion over the pardon.DHL cargo plane crashes in Lithuania

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is weighing whether to issue sweeping pardons for officials and allies who the White House fears could be unjustly targeted by President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, a preemptive move that would be a novel and risky use of the president’s extraordinary constitutional power. The deliberations so far are largely at the level of White House lawyers. But Biden himself has discussed the topic with some senior aides, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday to discuss the sensitive subject. No decisions have been made, the people said, and it is possible Biden opts to do nothing at all. Pardons are historically afforded to those accused of specific crimes – and usually those who have already been convicted of an offense — but Biden’s team is considering issuing them for those who have not even been investigated, let alone charged. They fear that Trump and his allies, who have boasted of enemies lists and exacting “retribution,” could launch investigations that would be reputationally and financially costly for their targets even if they don’t result in prosecutions. While the president’s pardon power is absolute, Biden’s use in this fashion would mark a significant expansion of how they are deployed, and some Biden aides fear it could lay the groundwork for an even more drastic usage by Trump. They also worry that issuing pardons would feed into claims by Trump and his allies that the individuals committed acts that necessitated immunity. Recipients could include infectious-disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was instrumental in combating the coronavirus pandemic and who has become a pariah to conservatives angry about mask mandates and vaccines. Others include witnesses in Trump’s criminal or civil trials and Biden administration officials who have drawn the ire of the incoming president and his allies. Some fearful former officials have reached out to the Biden White House preemptively seeking some sort of protection from the future Trump administration, one of the people said. It follows Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter — not just for his convictions on federal gun and tax violations, but for any potential federal offense committed over an 11-year period, as the president feared that Trump allies would seek to prosecute his son for other offenses. That could serve as a model for other pardons Biden might issue to those who could find themselves in legal jeopardy under Trump. Biden is not the first to consider such pardons — Trump aides considered them for him and his supporters involved in his failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election that culminated in a violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But he could be the first to issue them since Trump’s pardons never materialized before he left office nearly four years ago. Gerald Ford granted a “full, free, and absolute pardon” in 1974 to his predecessor, Richard Nixon, over the Watergate scandal. He believed a potential trial would “cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States," as written in the pardon proclamation. Politico was first to report that Biden was studying the use of preemptive pardons. On the campaign trail, Trump made no secret of his desire to seek revenge on those who prosecuted him or crossed him. Trump has talked about “enemies from within" and circulated social media posts that call for the jailing of Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice President Mike Pence and Sens. Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer. He also zeroed in on former Rep. Liz Cheney, a conservative Republican who campaigned for Harris and helped investigate Jan. 6, and he promoted a social media post that suggested he wanted military tribunals for supposed treason. Kash Patel, whom Trump has announced as his nominee to be director of the FBI, has listed dozens of former government officials he wanted to “come after.” Richard Painter, a Trump critic who served as the top White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said he was reluctantly in support of having Biden issue sweeping pardons to people who could be targeted by Trump's administration. He said he hoped that would “clean the slate” for the incoming president and encourage him to focus on governing, not on punishing his political allies. “It’s not an ideal situation at all,” Painter said. “We have a whole lot of bad options confronting us at this point.” While the Supreme Court this year ruled that the president enjoys broad immunity from prosecution for what could be considered official acts, his aides and allies enjoy no such shield. Some fear that Trump could use the promise of a blanket pardon to encourage his allies to take actions they might otherwise resist for fear of running afoul of the law. “There could be blatant illegal conduct over the next four years, and he can go out and pardon his people before he leaves office,” Painter said. "But if he’s going to do that, he’s going to do that anyway regardless of what Biden does." More conventional pardons from Biden, such as those for sentencing disparities for people convicted of federal crimes, are expected before the end of the year, the White House said.Company Achieved 50% YoY Revenue Growth & Positive EBITDA CALGARY, AB , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Nanalysis Scientific Corp. ("the Company") NSCI NSCIF 1N , a leader in portable NMR machines and MRI technology for industrial and research applications announces third quarter results for the period ending on September 30, 2024 , achieving 50% year-over-year revenue growth to $10.6 million in Q3. Chief Executive Officer Sean Krakiwsky and Chief Financial Officer Randall McRae will host a conference call at 5 P.M. Eastern Time today to discuss the results. A second call will be held for European investors at 8:30am Eastern Time tomorrow, November 22 nd . All interested parties are invited to join these calls. All dollar figures in this press release are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts or unless otherwise stated. "We continue to see strength in both of our core business segments, product sales and security services," said Sean Krakiwsky, Founder and CEO of Nanalysis. "We had a solid Q3, as demonstrated by our year over year revenue growth. Within Benchtop NMR we experienced our typical seasonal slowdown in the third quarter. This was partially offset, however, by a large medical imaging sale in the quarter. Our focus on efficiencies in both our manufacturing processes and service delivery is resulting in gross margin improvements and positive EBITDA." Financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2024: Three months ended September 30 ($000's) 2024 2023 ($) Change Change Product sales 4,242 3,941 301 8 % Service revenue 5,420 2,629 2,791 106 % Flow-through inventory 908 466 442 95 % Total sales and revenue 10,570 7,036 3,534 50 % Gross margin percentage - product sales 52 % 41 % 11 % Gross margin percentage - service revenue 15 % -3 % 18 % Adjusted EBITDA 264 (1,354) 1,618 Net loss (1,644) (6,287) 4,643 74 % For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $10,570, an increase of $3,534 or 50% from the comparative period in 2023. Gross margin percentage on product sales was 52% versus 41% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Improvement in gross margin percentage for Benchtop NMR is materializing, as average selling prices have improved and manufacturing cost reductions started in 2023 and continued in 2024 are taking effect. Security service gross margin percentage in the quarter was 15% versus (3)% in prior year comparative period as the Company completed the full transition of 100% of airports serviced to its control from the incumbent provider in the first quarter of 2024 and expects to increase revenue and drive efficiency within this business through 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $264K versus an Adjusted EBITDA (loss) of ( $1,354K ) in the same period last year. This improvement was driven primarily by full transition of airports to the Company's control resulting in increased security services revenue, the effect of cost reduction initiatives, and slightly improved product sales over the prior year. This was offset partially by a slight decrease in third-party equipment sales. Net loss for the three months ended was $1,644K as compared to the three-month loss for September 30, 2023, of $6,287K. The difference between Adjusted EBITDA and Net loss includes a number of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization. Included in Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company recognized a one-time charge of $2.8 million related to the deconsolidation of its Quad subsidiary. Quarterly Trend: 2024 2023 ($000's) Q3 Q2 Q1 Q4 Product sales 4,242 5,402 4,216 5,450 Security service revenue 5,420 5,265 4,723 3,362 Flow-through parts revenue 908 807 2,223 988 Total revenue 10,570 11,474 11,162 9,800 Adjusted EBITDA 264 414 (362) (774) Net loss for the period (1,644) (1,995) (2,522) (2,123) The Company has demonstrated continuous margin expansion in Security service revenue quarter over quarter, driven by the expansion of the Company's airport security maintenance business as the Company took over more airports from the incumbent service provider, ultimately taking over all airports in Q1 2024. The Company reported positive Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 despite the seasonality effects of the slower summer months. The Company expects this to continue as it works to grow both product sales and security service revenue, while closely managing costs. Net loss was $1,644 in Q3 2024. Net losses are decreasing as the Company has successfully grown revenue and implements cost reduction initiatives. Recent strategic and operational highlights during and after the third quarter of 2024 include: Margin Expansion in both business segments: The Company was able to reap the benefits of cost cutting and drive efficiencies to grow gross margins to 52%, up 11% year over year in product sales and 15%, up 18% year over year in security services from (3%) in the prior year. Consistent Revenue in Airport Security Maintenance Business: The mix between scheduled maintenance, unscheduled maintenance and project work will shift quarterly but should provide a consistent balance of billing. The Company is focused on improving its efficiency and planning related to service delivery in order to increase margins through 2024 and into 2025. Medical Imaging : The Company completed another large medical imaging hardware sale in the quarter contributing to strong product sales in a traditionally slower quarter. Outlook "As we enter the fourth quarter, we have continued strong sales and the hard work we have done to expand our margins is materializing," said Sean Krakiwsky, Founder and CEO of Nanalysis. "Growth initiatives within the Scientific Equipment segment include the development and future launch of new products, developing new software applications, and seeking vertical market partnerships. Our market opportunity is expanding as more industries conclude that NMR, combined with the small size and portability of our products, is an excellent solution for their analysis needs. As we evolve, it is likely that we will reduce effort selling other companies' products, and increasingly focus on sales of our own proprietary products and services. "Within the Security Services segment, we are pursuing several new customer opportunities to leverage our existing capabilities. "Overall, we continue to grow our sales and are laser focused on operational improvements to reach our ultimate goal of profitability. These trends will continue through the rest of the year and into 2025. We have a positive outlook, are executing well, and expect a strong fourth quarter to close out the year."

Apple in the enterprise: highlights and expectations as 2024 winds downVP Sara Duterte —Richard A. Reyes Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin —House of Representatives photo MANILA, Philippines — The progressive Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) said it would file a second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte today at the House of Representatives, seven days before Congress goes on Christmas break. In a media advisory, Bayan said the new complaint would be signed by 50 representatives from the organizations of its network, as well as other concerned citizens. Bayan president Renato Reyes, who will serve as the lead complainant, told the Inquirer that their filing will cite just one of the six grounds for impeachment: betrayal of public trust, with the specific acts related to the use of the P612 million in confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education from 2022 to 2023, the subject of an ongoing House investigation. The complaint will be endorsed by opposition Makabayan lawmakers ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro, Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas, and Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel, who earlier criticized President Marcos for trying to persuade his allies in the lower chamber not to file an impeachment complaint against his erstwhile UniTeam partner. READ: First impeachment complaint vs VP Sara filed at House Former Bayan Muna representative and lawyer Neri Colmenares will serve as the group’s legal counsel. Malacañang has distanced itself from the impeachment cases against Duterte, with the President himself earlier admitting that he had advised lawmakers to steer clear of such moves against the Vice President and focus on the bigger issues facing the nation. READ: Bersamin: President’s office hands off Sara Duterte impeachment In a statement on Tuesday, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin reiterated that the Office of the President had nothing to do with the petitions initiated by private individuals. “The impeachment complaint filed in the House by several private citizens is clearly the complainants’ independent initiative, and its endorsement the prerogative of any member of the House,” he said in a Viber message to Palace reporters. “The Office of the President has nothing to do with it,” Bersamin emphasized. He also noted that the President’s earlier statement expressing disagreement with the filing of an impeachment case against Duterte is “unambiguous.” “What will happen if somebody files an impeachment? It will tie down the House, it will tie down the Senate. It will just take up all our time and for what? For nothing,” the President told reporters on Friday last week. Bersamin repeated Mr. Marcos’ statement to dispute insinuations that Malacañang was behind the moves. “Any suggestion that that is politically motivated or instigated by our side—no, that is never true,” he said. On Monday, an Akbayan-endorsed impeachment complaint filed by 16 individuals from various civil society and advocacy groups, as well as relatives of the victims of the war on drugs, was filed, citing five of the six grounds for impeachment listed in the 1987 Constitution. Former Sen. Leila de Lima, who serves as the group’s spokesperson, said they are charging Duterte for culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, bribery, betrayal of public trust, and other high crimes. Treason is the other cause for impeachment under the Charter. Both complaints will likely be consolidated before it is put to a vote. An impeachment proceeding starts with the House committee on justice, which reviews whether the complaint is sufficient in form and substance. After its investigation, the committee must submit a report to the House within 60 session days with a resolution, which will be considered by the House within 10 session days. Following the committee’s review, the members of the House will vote on whether to adopt the articles of impeachment and the concurrence of a third of all members is required to move the process forward. If the House approves the articles of impeachment, the case moves to the Senate, which acts as the impeachment court, as provided in Section 3(7) of the Constitution. A two-thirds majority of all senators is needed to convict and remove the Vice President, which means at least 16 out of 24 senators must vote in favor of impeachment. Senate President Francis Escudero on Tuesday called on his colleagues to refrain from making any public comments regarding the impeachment complaint filed against Duterte. He said the filing and endorsement of a complaint in the House “marks the beginning of a process enshrined in our Constitution to ensure accountability among our highest public officials.” “Should the Senate be called upon to act as an impeachment court, any perception of bias or prejudgment would undermine not only the integrity of the impeachment trial but also the public’s trust in the Senate as an institution,” he explained. “In light of this development, I reiterate my call to my colleagues in the Senate to refrain from making any public comments or statements regarding the allegations in the complaint’s articles of impeachment,” Escudero said in a statement. According to Escudero, while impeachment is often described as a political exercise, it is crucial that members of the Senate approach it “with the impartiality and objectivity demanded of us.” “We must remain steadfast in upholding the principles of justice and fairness, ensuring that every step of the process adheres to the Rule of Law,” he stressed. He also reminded senators that the impeachment complaint should not distract them from performing their jobs, noting that impeachment proceedings are “inherently divisive and have the potential to polarize the government and the public.” Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino agreed, saying it would be unethical for senators to comment on the impeachment complaint filed against Duterte.

He was 83. Chuck Woolery hosts a special premiere of the "$250,000 Game Show Spectacular" at the Las Vegas Hilton on Oct. 13, 2007, in Las Vegas. Mark Young, Woolery's podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. “Chuck was a dear friend and brother and a tremendous man of faith, life will not be the same without him,” Young wrote. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. In 1983, Woolery began an 11-year run as host of TV’s “Love Connection,” for which he coined the phrase, “We’ll be back in two minutes and two seconds,” a two-fingered signature dubbed the “2 and 2.” In 1984, he hosted TV’s “Scrabble,” simultaneously hosting two game shows on TV until 1990. “Love Connection,” which aired long before the dawn of dating apps, had a premise that featured either a single man or single woman who would watch audition tapes of three potential mates and then pick one for a date. A couple of weeks after the date, the guest would sit with Woolery in front of a studio audience and tell everybody about the date. The audience would vote on the three contestants, and if the audience agreed with the guest’s choice, “Love Connection” would offer to pay for a second date. Woolery told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 that his favorite set of lovebirds was a man aged 91 and a woman aged 87. "She had so much eye makeup on, she looked like a stolen Corvette. He was so old he said, ‘I remember wagon trains.’ The poor guy. She took him on a balloon ride.” Other career highlights included hosting the shows “Lingo," “Greed” and “The Chuck Woolery Show,” as well as hosting the short-lived syndicated revival of “The Dating Game” from 1998 to 2000 and an ill-fated 1991 talk show. In 1992, he played himself in two episodes of TV’s “Melrose Place.” Woolery became the subject of the Game Show Network’s first attempt at a reality show, “Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned,” which premiered in 2003. It shared the title of the pop song in 1968 by Woolery and his rock group, the Avant-Garde. It lasted six episode and was panned by critics. Woolery began his TV career at a show that has become a mainstay. Although most associated with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, “Wheel of Fortune” debuted Jan. 6, 1975, on NBC with Woolery welcoming contestants and the audience. Woolery, then 33, was trying to make it in Nashville as a singer. “Wheel of Fortune” started life as “Shopper’s Bazaar,” incorporating Hangman-style puzzles and a roulette wheel. After Woolery appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” singing “Delta Dawn,” Merv Griffin asked him to host the new show with Susan Stafford. “I had an interview that stretched to 15, 20 minutes,” Woolery told The New York Times in 2003. “After the show, when Merv asked if I wanted to do a game show, I thought, ‘Great, a guy with a bad jacket and an equally bad mustache who doesn’t care what you have to say — that’s the guy I want to be.’” NBC initially passed, but they retooled it as “Wheel of Fortune” and got the green light. After a few years, Woolery demanded a raise to $500,000 a year, or what host Peter Marshall was making on “Hollywood Squares.” Griffin balked and replaced Woolery with weather reporter Pat Sajak. “Both Chuck and Susie did a fine job, and ‘Wheel’ did well enough on NBC, although it never approached the kind of ratings success that ‘Jeopardy!’ achieved in its heyday,” Griffin said in “Merv: Making the Good Life Last,” an autobiography from the 2000s co-written by David Bender. Woolery earned an Emmy nod as host. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery served in the U.S. Navy before attending college. He played double bass in a folk trio, then formed the psychedelic rock duo The Avant-Garde in 1967 while working as a truck driver to support himself as a musician. The Avant-Garde, which toured in a refitted Cadillac hearse, had the Top 40 hit “Naturally Stoned,” with Woolery singing, “When I put my mind on you alone/I can get a good sensation/Feel like I’m naturally stoned.” After The Avant-Garde broke up, Woolery released his debut solo single “I’ve Been Wrong” in 1969 and several more singles with Columbia before transitioning to country music by the 1970s. He released two solo singles, “Forgive My Heart” and “Love Me, Love Me.” Woolery wrote or co-wrote songs for himself and everyone from Pat Boone to Tammy Wynette. On Wynette’s 1971 album “We Sure Can Love Each Other,” Woolery wrote “The Joys of Being a Woman” with lyrics including “See our baby on the swing/Hear her laugh, hear her scream.” After his TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. In an interview with The New York Times, he called himself a gun-rights activist and described himself as a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist. He said he hadn’t revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump while arguing minorities don’t need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an antisemitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism. “President Obama’s popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes,” he said. Woolery also was active online, retweeting articles from Conservative Brief, insisting Democrats were trying to install a system of Marxism and spreading headlines such as “Impeach him! Devastating photo of Joe Biden leaks.” During the early stages of the pandemic, Woolery initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and Trump’s chances for reelection to the presidency. “The most outrageous lies are the ones about COVID-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, media, Democrats, our doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it,” Woolery wrote in July 2020. Trump retweeted that post to his 83 million followers. By the end of the month, nearly 4.5 million Americans had been infected with COVID-19 and more than 150,000 had died. Just days later, Woolery changed his stance, announcing his son had contracted COVID-19. “To further clarify and add perspective, COVID-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones,” Woolery posted before his account was deleted. Woolery later explained on his podcast that he never called COVID-19 “a hoax” or said “it’s not real,” just that “we’ve been lied to.” Woolery also said it was “an honor to have your president retweet what your thoughts are and think it’s important enough to do that.” In addition to his wife, Woolery is survived by his sons Michael and Sean and his daughter Melissa, Young said. Germany players celebrate after Andreas Brehme, left on ground, scores the winning goal in the World Cup soccer final match against Argentina, in the Olympic Stadium, in Rome, July 8, 1990. Andreas Brehme, who scored the only goal as West Germany beat Argentina to win the 1990 World Cup final, died Feb. 20, 2024. He was 63. Brian Mulroney, the former prime minister of Canada, listens during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico relationship, Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Mulroney died at the age of 84 on Feb. 29, 2024. “The Godfather” producer Albert S. Ruddy died May 25 at 94. The Canadian-born producer and writer won Oscars for “The Godfather” and “Million Dollar Baby,” developed the raucous prison-sports comedy “The Longest Yard” and helped create the hit sitcom “Hogan’s Heroes." A spokesperson says Ruddy died Saturday at the UCLA Medical Center. Ruddy produced more than 30 movies and was on hand for the very top and the very bottom. “The Godfather” and “Million Dollar Baby” were box office hits and winners of best picture Oscars. But Ruddy also helped give us “Cannonball Run II” and “Megaforce,” nominees for Golden Raspberry awards for worst movie of the year. Larry Allen, one of the most dominant offensive linemen in the NFL during a 12-year career spent mostly with the Dallas Cowboys, died June 2. He was 52. The Cowboys say Allen died suddenly on Sunday while on vacation with his family in Mexico. Allen was named an All-Pro six consecutive years from 1996-2001 and was inducted into the Pro Football of Hall of Fame in 2013. He said few words but let his blocking do the talking. Allen once bench-pressed 700 pounds and had the speed to chase down opposing running backs. Bob Hope and Janis Paige hug during the annual Christmas show in Saigon, Vietnam, Dec. 25, 1964. Paige, a popular actor in Hollywood and in Broadway musicals and comedies who danced with Fred Astaire, toured with Bob Hope and continued to perform into her 80s, died Sunday, June 2, 2024, of natural causes at her Los Angeles home, longtime friend Stuart Lampert said Monday, June 3. Parnelli Jones, the 1963 Indianapolis 500 winner, died June 4 at Torrance Memorial Medical Center after a battle with Parkinson’s disease, his son said. Jones was 90. At the time of his death, Jones was the oldest living winner of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Rufus Parnell Jones was born in Texarkana, Arkansas, in 1933 but moved to Torrance as a young child and never left. It was there that he became “Parnelli” because his given name of Rufus was too well known for him to compete without locals knowing that he wasn’t old enough to race. Boston Celtics' John Havlicek (17) is defended by Philadelphia 76ers' Chet Walker (25) during the first half of an NBA basketball playoff game April 14, 1968, in Boston. Walker, a seven-time All-Star forward who helped Wilt Chamberlain and the 76ers win the 1967 NBA title, died June 8. He was 84. The National Basketball Players Association confirmed Walker's death, according to NBA.com . The 76ers, Chicago Bulls and National Basketball Retired Players Association also extended their condolences on social media on Saturday, June 8, 2024. The Rev. James Lawson Jr. speaks Sept. 17, 2015, in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Lawson Jr., an apostle of nonviolent protest who schooled activists to withstand brutal reactions from white authorities as the Civil Rights Movement gained traction, has died, his family said Monday. He was 95. His family said Lawson died on Sunday after a short illness in Los Angeles, where he spent decades working as a pastor, labor movement organizer and university professor. Lawson was a close adviser to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who called him “the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world.” Lawson met King in 1957, after spending three years in India soaking up knowledge about Mohandas K. Gandhi’s independence movement. King would travel to India himself two years later, but at the time, he had only read about Gandhi in books. Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Jerry West, representing the 1960 USA Olympic Team, is seen Aug. 13, 2010, during the enshrinement news conference at the Hall of Fame Museum in Springfield, Mass. Jerry West, who was selected to the Basketball Hall of Fame three times in a storied career as a player and executive, and whose silhouette is considered to be the basis of the NBA logo, died June 12, the Los Angeles Clippers announced. He was 86. West, nicknamed “Mr. Clutch” for his late-game exploits as a player, was an NBA champion who went into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1980 and again as a member of the gold medal-winning 1960 U.S. Olympic Team in 2010. He will be enshrined for a third time later this year as a contributor, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called West “one of the greatest executives in sports history.” Actor and director Ron Simons, seen Jan. 23, 2011, during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, died June 12. Simons turned into a formidable screen and stage producer, winning four Tony Awards and having several films selected at the Sundance Film Festival. He won Tonys for producing “Porgy and Bess,” “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” and “Jitney.” He also co-produced “Hughie,” with Forest Whitaker, “The Gin Game,” starring Cicely Tyson and James Earl Jones, “Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations,” an all-Black production of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” the revival of "for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf" and the original work “Thoughts of a Colored Man.” He was in the films “27 Dresses” and “Mystery Team,” as well as on the small screen in “The Resident,” “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” and “Law & Order: SVU.” Bob Schul of West Milton, Ohio, hits the tape Oct. 18, 1964, to win the 5,000 meter run at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Schul, the only American distance runner to win the 5,000 meters at the Olympics, died June 16. He was 86. His death was announced by Miami University in Ohio , where Schul shined on the track and was inducted into the school’s hall of fame in 1973. Schul predicted gold leading into the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and followed through with his promise. On a rainy day in Japan, he finished the final lap in a blistering 54.8 seconds to sprint to the win. His white shorts were covered in mud at the finish. He was inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1991. He also helped write a book called “In the Long Run.” San Francisco Giants superstar Willie Mays poses for a photo during baseball spring training in 1972. Mays, the electrifying “Say Hey Kid” whose singular combination of talent, drive and exuberance made him one of baseball’s greatest and most beloved players, died June 18. He was 93. The center fielder, who began his professional career in the Negro Leagues in 1948, had been baseball’s oldest living Hall of Famer. He was voted into the Hall in 1979, his first year of eligibility, and in 1999 followed only Babe Ruth on The Sporting News’ list of the game’s top stars. The Giants retired his uniform number, 24, and set their AT&T Park in San Francisco on Willie Mays Plaza. Mays died two days before a game between the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals to honor the Negro Leagues at Rickwood Field in Birmingham , Alabama. Over 23 major league seasons, virtually all with the New York/San Francisco Giants but also including one in the Negro Leagues, Mays batted .301, hit 660 home runs, totaled 3,293 hits, scored more than 2,000 runs and won 12 Gold Gloves. He was Rookie of the Year in 1951, twice was named the Most Valuable Player and finished in the top 10 for the MVP 10 other times. His lightning sprint and over-the-shoulder grab of an apparent extra base hit in the 1954 World Series remains the most celebrated defensive play in baseball history. For millions in the 1950s and ’60s and after, the smiling ballplayer with the friendly, high-pitched voice was a signature athlete and showman during an era when baseball was still the signature pastime. Awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2015, Mays left his fans with countless memories. But a single feat served to capture his magic — one so untoppable it was simply called “The Catch.” Actor Donald Sutherland appears Oct. 13, 2017, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, Calif. Sutherland, the Canadian actor whose wry, arrestingly off-kilter screen presence spanned more than half a century of films from “M.A.S.H.” to “The Hunger Games,” died June 20. He was 88. Kiefer Sutherland said on X he believed his father was one of the most important actors in the history of film: “Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that.” The tall and gaunt Sutherland, who flashed a grin that could be sweet or diabolical, was known for offbeat characters like Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman's "M.A.S.H.," the hippie tank commander in "Kelly's Heroes" and the stoned professor in "Animal House." Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s. He never stopped working, appearing in nearly 200 films and series. Over the decades, Sutherland showed his range in more buttoned-down — but still eccentric — roles in Robert Redford's "Ordinary People" and Oliver Stone's "JFK." More, recently, he starred in the “Hunger Games” films. A memoir, “Made Up, But Still True,” is due out in November. Actor Bill Cobbs, a cast member in "Get Low," arrives July 27, 2010, at the premiere of the film in Beverly Hills, Calif. Cobbs, the veteran character actor who became a ubiquitous and sage screen presence as an older man, died June 25. He was 90. A Cleveland native, Cobbs acted in such films as “The Hudsucker Proxy,” “The Bodyguard” and “Night at the Museum.” He made his first big-screen appearance in a fleeting role in 1974's “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." He became a lifelong actor with some 200 film and TV credits. The lion share of those came in his 50s, 60s, and 70s, as filmmakers and TV producers turned to him again and again to imbue small but pivotal parts with a wizened and worn soulfulness. Cobbs appeared on television shows including “The Sopranos," “The West Wing,” “Sesame Street” and “Good Times.” He was Whitney Houston's manager in “The Bodyguard” (1992), the mystical clock man of the Coen brothers' “The Hudsucker Proxy” (1994) and the doctor of John Sayles' “Sunshine State” (2002). He played the coach in “Air Bud” (1997), the security guard in “Night at the Museum” (2006) and the father on “The Gregory Hines Show." Cobbs rarely got the kinds of major parts that stand out and win awards. Instead, Cobbs was a familiar and memorable everyman who left an impression on audiences, regardless of screen time. He won a Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding limited performance in a daytime program for the series “Dino Dana” in 2020. Independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman speaks with the media Nov. 7, 2009, at his campaign headquarters in Austin, Texas. The singer, songwriter, satirist and novelist, who led the alt-country band Texas Jewboys, toured with Bob Dylan, sang with Willie Nelson, and dabbled in politics with campaigns for Texas governor and other statewide offices, died June 27. He was 79 and had suffered from Parkinson's disease. Often called “The Kinkster" and sporting sideburns, a thick mustache and cowboy hat, Friedman earned a cult following and reputation as a provocateur throughout his career across musical and literary genres. In the 1970s, his satirical country band Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys wrote songs with titles such as “They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in Bed.” Friedman joined part of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1976. By the 1980s, Friedman was writing crime novels that often included a version of himself, and he wrote a column for Texas Monthly magazine in the 2000s. Friedman's run at politics brought his brand of irreverence to the serious world of public policy. In 2006, Friedman ran for governor as an independent in a five-way race that included incumbent Republican Rick Perry. Friedman launched his campaign against the backdrop of the Alamo. Martin Mull participates in "The Cool Kids" panel during the Fox Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour on Aug. 2, 2018, at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Mull, whose droll, esoteric comedy and acting made him a hip sensation in the 1970s and later a beloved guest star on sitcoms including “Roseanne” and “Arrested Development,” died June 28. He was 80. Mull, who was also a guitarist and painter, came to national fame with a recurring role on the Norman Lear-created satirical soap opera “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” and the starring role in its spinoff, “Fernwood Tonight." His first foray into show business was as a songwriter, penning the 1970 semi-hit “A Girl Named Johnny Cash” for singer Jane Morgan. He would combine music and comedy in an act that he brought to hip Hollywood clubs in the 1970s. Mull often played slightly sleazy, somewhat slimy and often smarmy characters as he did as Teri Garr's boss and Michael Keaton's foe in 1983's “Mr. Mom.” He played Colonel Mustard in the 1985 movie adaptation of the board game “Clue,” which, like many things Mull appeared in, has become a cult classic. The 1980s also brought what many thought was his best work, “A History of White People in America,” a mockumentary that first aired on Cinemax. Mull co-created the show and starred as a “60 Minutes” style investigative reporter investigating all things milquetoast and mundane. Willard was again a co-star. In the 1990s he was best known for his recurring role on several seasons on “Roseanne,” in which he played a warmer, less sleazy boss to the title character, an openly gay man whose partner was played by Willard, who died in 2020 . Mull would later play private eye Gene Parmesan on “Arrested Development,” a cult-classic character on a cult-classic show, and would be nominated for an Emmy, his first, in 2016 for a guest run on “Veep.” Screenwriter Robert Towne poses at The Regency Hotel, March 7, 2006, in New York. Towne, the Oscar-winning screenplay writer of "Shampoo," "The Last Detail" and other acclaimed films whose work on "Chinatown" became a model of the art form and helped define the jaded allure of his native Los Angeles, died Monday, July 1, 2024, surrounded by family at his home in Los Angeles, said publicist Carri McClure. She declined to comment on any cause of death. Vic Seixas of the United States backhands a volley from Denmark's Jurgen Ulrich in the first round of men's singles match at Wimbledon, England, June 27, 1967. Vic Seixas, a Wimbledon winner and tennis Hall of Famer who was the oldest living Grand Slam champion, has died July 5 at the age of 100.

James Inhofe, R-Okla., speaks to reporters following a GOP policy meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Former Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma died July 9. He was 89. The family says in a statement that the Republican had a stroke during the July Fourth holiday and died Tuesday morning. Inhofe was a powerful fixture in state politics for decades. He doubted that climate change was caused by human activity, calling the theory “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” As Oklahoma’s senior U.S. senator, he was a staunch supporter of the state’s military installations. He was elected to a fifth Senate term in 2020 and stepped down in early 2023. The Oak Ridge Boys, from left, Joe Bonsall, Richard Sterban, Duane Allen and William Lee Golden hold their awards for Top Vocal Group and Best Album of the Year for "Ya'll Come Back Saloon", during the 14th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Los Angeles, Calif., May 3, 1979. Bonsall died on July 9, 2024, from complications of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in Hendersonville, Tenn. He was 76. A Philadelphia native and resident of Hendersonville, Tennessee, Bonsall joined the Oak Ridge Boys in 1973, which originally formed in the 1940s. He saw the band through its golden period in the '80s and beyond, which included their signature 1981 song “Elvira.” The hit marked a massive crossover moment for the group, reaching No. 1 on the country chart and No. 5 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100. The group is also known for such hits as 1982’s “Bobbie Sue." Shelley Duvall poses for photographers at the 30th Cannes Film Festival in France, May 27, 1977.

Richard Simmons sits for a portrait in Los Angeles, June 23, 1982. Simmons, a fitness guru who urged the overweight to exercise and eat better, died July 13 at the age of 76. Simmons was a court jester of physical fitness who built a mini-empire in his trademark tank tops and short shorts by urging the overweight to exercise and eat better. Simmons was a former 268-pound teen who shared his hard-won weight loss tips as the host of the Emmy-winning daytime “Richard Simmons Show" and the “Sweatin' to the Oldies” line of exercise videos, which became a cultural phenomenon.
