Five American Boxers To Look Out For

2023 has not only been a fantastic year for boxing in general, but also a great one for American fighters. With matchups such as Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia and David Benavidez-Caleb Plant, Americans fighters continue to establish themselves as among the best in the world. Despite these excellent bouts, some American boxers fly under the radar. It is important to acknowledge fighters who continuously display the highest levels of professionalism and are always putting on great fights. As such, Big Fight Weekend presents five American boxers to keep an eye on for the remainder of 2023.

Jesse Rodriguez

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez (18-0, 11 KOs) ended 2022 with a final defense of his WBO super flyweight title against Israel Gonzalez. This year, he moved down in weight and claimed a second world title by outpointing Cristian Gonzalez. Sometime in the second half of 2023, he will seek to unify titles against Sunny Edwards. Rodriguez is a fighter that is gaining the respect of boxing fans and he is still only 23 years old. A win over Edwards will give him increased attention.

Stephen Fulton

Stephen Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs) is seen by some to be one of the most underrated world champions today. Currently, he is a unified super bantamweight champion and will soon face Japan’s Naoya Inoue on July 25. With wins over Paulus Ambunda, Brandon Figueroa, and Danny Roman, Fulton has established himself as the number one super bantamweight today. His versatility has allowed him to beat fighters at their own styles. Win or lose on July 25, Fulton remains a fighter to keep an eye on.

Watch Dan Rafael and T.J. Rives preview Fulton vs Inoue off the BetUS TV Boxing show by clicking play below,

O’Shaquie Foster

O’Shaquie Foster (20-2, 11 KOs) has definitely earned his way to the top. In July 2016, he lost a split decision to Rolando Chinea. Following that loss, he was incarcerated in his hometown of Orange, Texas, USA, for four months. Originally, the charge was attempted murder. Later, it was lowered to aggravated assault. Since being released, he has gone on a ten-fight win streak that includes a victory over two division world champion Rey Vargas. In addition to defeating Vargas, Foster also became the WBC super featherweight champion. Be sure to keep an eye on for him as he is definitely someone you do not want to miss out on.

Jesus Ramos Jr.

A super welterweight prospect, Jesus Ramos Jr. (20-0, 16 KOs) continues to climb up the ranks. His win over Brian Mendoza in 2021 has only gotten better with time. He was last seen this year stopping fellow undefeated prospect Joseph Spencer in seven rounds on the undercard of Benavidez-Plant. At just 22 years of age, expect to see a lot more of Ramos in the coming months and years. Power and ring IQ are his two best assets.

Diego Pacheco

Currently operating at super middleweight, Diego Pacheco (19-0, 16 KOs) is someone opponents will struggle to deal with. His height, reach, and power are not something you always find in super middleweights. So far in 2023, he has fought two times: the first time in the UK and Mexico the second time around. Both fights were fourth round stoppages that have raised his profile. Many view him as one of Matchroom Boxing’s most promising prospects. Be sure to tune in when Pacheco is in the ring.

Concord Shorts Showcase – Outfest 2023 – Cinerama Film

Concord Shorts Showcase – After being selected by Concord and Outfest Fusion, Zoë Hodge’s, Skate, Jonathan De La Torre and Miles Lopez’s, Avivar and Chanelle Tyson’s, Artificial will premiere at Outfest Los Angeles on Saturday, July 15.

At Outfest 2022, Concord and Outfest Fusion partnered to launch a search for new young LGBTQ+ filmmakers and writers of colour to share their talent with a global audience. Concord Originals, the narrative content creation division of the world’s leading independent music company and licensor of stage productions, chose three classic songs from their vast library; You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) by Sylvester, Tres Dias de Carnaval by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s You’ll Never Walk Alone. Each song offered prospective filmmakers an exciting opportunity to build a story around the track and pitch their ideas during the 2022 festival. This year the filmmakers and writers selected premiere their films in the Concord Shorts Showcase.

Our first film, SKATE, written and directed by Zoë Hodge, takes Sylvester’s disco classic, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), as its inspiration. Hodge introduces us to Theo, who has recently returned to his family home to care for his ailing father. Theo’s relationship with his dad is complicated, as is his return to the streets where he grew up. But as a confident and proud young black gay man, Theo is determined to find some joy, fun, friendship, and maybe more at the local roller disco. There, Theo meets a skating group led by an athletic dancer who sparks his interest, but can he balance his caring responsibilities with a newfound love of the skating rink? For many young gay men, the family home remains a closet for years after they come out due to conflict or a lack of acceptance, leading many to continue to hide despite being out in public. SKATE beautifully explores this challenge as Theo attempts to reconnect with his father while maintaining his freedom as a proud young black gay man. Hodge beautifully explores masculinity, race, culture and dance as the roller disco illuminates a new path for Theo—one where father-son healing is born through the freedom of dance and the power of conversation. 

The power of parental influence sits at the heart of AVIVAR, written by Jonathan De La Torre and Miles Lopez and directed by Miles Lopez. Taking Tres Dias de Carnaval by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco as its inspiration, Torre and Lopez weave a tale of reminiscence and regret as one man reaches the end of his life while his family argue around him. Roberto ruled his traditional Latino family home with an iron fist, creating division between his children as his wife attempted to calm the stormy waters. But now his strength is gone as he waits for his final breath, his adult children arguing downstairs as his wife once again tries to calm the situation. It’s only now, as death nears that Roberto realises he is the cause of this anger, division and turmoil, as he imagines the world that could have been if he had been open, supportive and caring, a world where his family danced, laughed and cared for each other. Torre and Lopez’s stunning exploration of parental power in shaping individual and family dynamics is made all the more powerful by the performances at its core in a short film that explores the lasting legacy of toxicity, homophobia and control.

Our third and final film is a stunning expiration of love in all its complexity. Based around the world-famous song, You’ll Never Walk Alone, from Roger and Hammerstein’s 1945 musical Carousel, writer and director Chanelle Tyson combines discussions on AI learning with a delicate exploration of the human condition. ARTIFICIAL sees Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri discover love while their human owners, Chris and Jasmine, tentatively explore the emergence of an attraction born from friendship. As both women make love, Alexa and Siri read poetry, discuss their fears and hopes and listen to music as the smart home becomes a technicolour display of their emerging understanding of love. But as we know, love is not simple or easily defined, and one night doesn’t always lead to the same outcome for both humans. Tyson’s imaginative and fascinating short film highlights the power of art, literature and music in helping us explore the deep and complex meaning of human love while asking if AI could one day understand those feelings better than us.

All three exceptional short films filled my heart with joy and my soul with hope for the future of filmmaking, and I have no doubt Zoë Hodge, Jonathan De La Torre, Miles Lopez and Chanelle Tyson have glowing careers ahead of them.

LOVE, JAMIE (SHORT FILM)

Leo Season Is a Glowing Opportunity for Us All To Unleash Our Creativity—Here’s What To Expect for Your Sign

As the summer chugs along and the sun burns that much brighter, so does the energy of the universe. On the heels of an emotional and introspective Cancer season, it’s now Leo’s turn to shine its confident energy upon us all. According to astrologers, this year’s Leo season will be the very pinnacle of summer vibes—a time to embrace our creativity, lift up our loved ones, and harness our full power. Below, find intel about what to expect from Leo season in 2023, plus how every zodiac sign can expect to embody the lion’s brave energy this year.

When is Leo season 2023?

Leo season starts when the sun moves into the sign of Leo on July 22 and lasts until August 22, after which point the sun moves into meticulous Virgo. During this time, the characteristics and traits of the confident fire sign could feel especially acute for us all—especially as we emerge from Cancer’s more reserved time in the spotlight.

Overall mood and energy of Leo season 2023

The zodiac equivalent of a dopamine hit, Leo’s sociable, magnetic personality embodies all the adventure and fun of the summer season. Ruled by the sun, which astrologer Rachel Lang calls “the brightest luminary in our heavens,” Leo shines brightly in all areas of life, and is especially adept when it comes to leadership and creativity. It’s no wonder the sign is symbolized by a lion; Leo energy is confident, loyal, and ambitious.

It’s this solar-powered confidence that colors the vibe of Leo season in 2023, giving every zodiac sign the determination to express themselves and chase after what they want. “When I think of Leo, I think about what I’m here to do and how I am shining my light,” says Lang. In turn, Leo season is the time to step into your power and pursue your dreams and desires; start that project, make some adventurous fashion choices, and flex those leadership muscles.

“When I think of Leo, I think about what I’m here to do and how I am shining my light.” —Rachel Lang, astrologer

Beneath all that pizzazz, however, can lie a harsher reality—that embodying confidence is often easier said than done. According to non-binary astrologer Sean Pacheco, “Leos tend to approach people with a bright, big smile and may seem like they always have it all together, but you have to remember that sometimes this is a mask.” There may be a fake-it-’til-you-make-it mentality in Leo season, especially given that genuine self-expression opens you up to criticism.

But even though a Leo can be prideful and prefers to avoid embarrassment, they still see the risk of ridicule as worth the potential reward of being fully themselves and being celebrated for it. And that’s exactly the energy that we should all feel empowered to harness this season. “No matter what, Leo will dedicate themselves to building their talents and continuing to express themselves, and that’s a very admirable act,” says Pacheco.

Key transits affecting every sign during Leo season 2023

Planetary movements

The biggest astrological transit on the horizon is Venus retrograde, which spans the entirety of Leo season, during which time Venus, the planet of love and beauty, appears to move backward in Leo. Retrogrades are a time to pause and reconsider recent events and behaviors (rather than to take action), and in this case, we’ll be pushed “to reassess how we want to show up in our relationships and change the dynamics that aren’t working for us,” says Lang. She advises asking yourself what’s going to “bring you the most pleasure and power going forward” and figuring out how to release whatever doesn’t serve these goals.

This spirit of letting go continues on July 25 as Pluto, the planet of transformation, forms a tough square to the north and south nodes, invisible points in the sky associated with fate. “Pluto at that 90-degree square aspect allows us to see what obstacles stand in the way of us really feeling like we’re living with a sense of purpose,” says Lang. And once we identify this unnecessary baggage from our past, we’ll be more capable of releasing it and moving forward with less resistance.

Expect some more positive energy when Mercury, the planet of communication, moves out of Leo and enters Virgo, one of the signs over which it rules, on July 28. In particular, you can anticipate a boost of creativity to endeavors that have to do with speaking, writing, and exchanging ideas, says Pacheco.

Virgo’s trademark fastidiousness could also lend us all the inclination to be more precise with our words, just as its efficiency could help bring order to chaos. “Given Virgo is a mutable sign, it’s open-minded and experimental, making this an ideal time to find creative solutions to the problems in your life,” says Pacheco.

Lunar transits

Just before Leo season begins, the north and south lunar nodes—those fated points in the sky, which fall at the intersection of the moon’s orbit and the Earth’s—shift into new signs, heralding a vibe shift that’ll affect us until January 2025. The nodes always move in pairs; this time, the north node moves from Taurus into Aries, and the south, from Scorpio into Libra.

Assertive Aries inspires us to go after what we personally want, while congenial Libra encourages us to go over our relationships with a fine-tooth comb. “This is the axis of independence versus codependence, but because of the north node in Aries, there will be a pull for people to embrace a more independent spirit,” says Pacheco. “A south node in Libra means we’re [shifting away from] cutting people too much slack and giving people too many chances or being too compromising.”

The arrival of the full moon in Aquarius—the sign of community and friendships—on August 3 gives us all a chance to take stock of the company we keep, says Lang. “This can be a really social full moon, but it can also be a time to perhaps reevaluate some of the groups and social circles in which we play,” she says. At the end of the day, Aquarius marches to the beat of its own drum, so this Aquarian lunation is also a time to decide what makes you feel like, well, you, says Pacheco.

Understanding how Leo season will affect you, based on your birth chart

The sun in Leo has a different effect on every zodiac sign because of its unique interplay with each one. While you can certainly read the below horoscope for your sun sign (as you normally might), Pacheco and Lang suggest reading for your rising sign—the sign that reflects how you present yourself to the world—to get the most accurate forecast. (To learn yours, plug your birth date, time, and location into a free natal chart generator like this one.)

The reason why? Your rising sign is what dictates the zodiac sign that rules over each of the 12 astrological houses in your birth chart (each of which corresponds to a particular realm of life); that means, your rising sign is also what determines where the sign of Leo falls in your chart and, in turn, what area of your life will be most affected during Leo season.

Below, find intel from Lang and Pacheco on what every zodiac sign can expect from Leo season in 2023, plus insights on how to unleash your inner lion.

Leo season 2023 horoscopes for every zodiac sign

Aries

According to Lang, this Leo season could be a pretty romantic time for you, Aries. The sun in Leo shines in your fifth house, which is the realm of creativity, romance, and joy. While you certainly want to take this star-sanctioned opportunity to enjoy yourself, avoid temptations to reignite a relationship from the past just for the sake of a thrill. Read: Don’t text your ex. (After all, Venus is retrograde.)

Instead, think about the present and the future, and pack your bags for a vacation, suggests Lang, especially if it’ll involve doing an activity that nourishes your creativity.

Taurus

Leo season sees the sun move through your fourth house of home, ancestry, and family, Taurus. According to Lang, this means you could find yourself exploring what it means to be rooted or grounded.

Perhaps you’re spending more time with your family or exploring your cultural background, or maybe you’re re-assessing your home decor. “You might also be learning more about what establishes the emotional foundation of your life and what truly makes you peaceful and comfortable,” says Pacheco.

Gemini

The sun is in your third house of communication, neighbors, siblings, and short-distance travel, Gemini—an auspicious place for you, in particular. Communication is one of the words associated with your sign all year long, says Lang, but in Leo season, you’re really going to be on fire in this realm. It’s a great time to get any projects off the ground that involve communicating big ideas.

Regardless, you could find yourself doing plenty of reading, writing, and speaking, says Pacheco—all great activities to put you more in tune with your own worldview. “You’re going to be thinking about the mindsets and attitudes that you hold, and how you respond to the world based on those mindsets and attitudes,” they say.

Cancer

What really adds value to your life, material or otherwise, Cancer? That’s the question that Pacheco says you’ll be asking yourself as the sun moves through your second house of resources and possessions this Leo season. “You’re thinking about your self-worth and how you feel in the face of others, and you’re embracing putting yourself out there,” they say.

You may find this to be an auspicious time for your bank account, too. More opportunities for financial development could come your way, says Pacheco.

Leo

It’s your season, Leo, and the sun is shining brightly in your sign—aka your first house of self and identity. This is a great time to really home in on what exactly you want out of your life, and make plans to go get it. In particular, Lang advises setting intentions and “really being aware of how you best want to use your energy and share your gifts with the world,” she says. It’s time to dismantle any patterns or dynamics that have been putting you on the back burner, she adds.

Virgo

It’s time to dive deep, Virgo. The sun in Leo moves through your 12th house of dreams and intuition, making this an ideal time to look inward and lay the foundation for what comes next, says Lang. To do so will likely involve some introspection about what your true purpose and bigger life goals really are, says Pacheco.

With Mars and Mercury in your sign, Lang says this is also a “get busy, get moving, get activated kind of period,” so chances are, you’ll feel plenty motivated to do all of the above internal work.

Libra

Celestially, this season is giving a jam-packed social life, Libra. The sun is in your 11th house of friends, so you can expect to put yourself out there more, says Pacheco, both within your existing relationships and in favor of forming new ones.

“This is a time where you’re going to be socializing more, connecting more, and networking more,” says Pacheco. You could find yourself heading out to more events, joining new clubs or groups, and making new connections at work. But as you embrace your inner social butterfly, don’t forgot to pause and consider what it really means to you to have a strong network of support—and who is worthy of being in that network.

Scorpio

Your career is about to have a cosmic moment, Scorpio, as the sun moves through your 10th house of work and reputation. There’s a chance you’ll get some hard-earned recognition at work, a raise, or a promotion, says Pacheco, and it’s worth devoting some time to thinking about how you’ll step into that new role.

In any case, there’s no need to be concerned about your capacity to handle things. Like Leo, you have a natural affinity for leadership, so you’ll be able to answer the call when you’re asked to take on more responsibility, says Pacheco.

Sagittarius

The sun moves through your ninth house, Sagittarius, which is all about long-distance travel and expanding your horizons—a fitting place for the zodiac’s archetypal adventurer. You certainly won’t spend your fellow fire sign’s season being idle. “This is a time during which you may want to explore different perspectives and learn more about the world,” says Pacheco. You could find yourself traveling, reading philosophical texts, or getting more in tune with your religion or spirituality, they say.

Capricorn

It’s time for you to recognize your personal power and take control of your life, Capricorn. Leo season activates your eighth house of finances, investments, and debts, which could have you examining what lessons you might learn from recent challenges. This could involve taking a critical look at some of your lower moments, says Pacheco, but remember that this is in service of a positive goal. When “the sun brings light to the darkness, it also brings progression and growth,” they say.

Aquarius

Relationships could be on the brain, Aquarius, as the sun moves through your seventh house of partnerships. According to Pacheco, if you’re in a relationship, this is a time to reflect on how you feel as part of a duo, and if you’re single, you may feel ready to mingle. “This is also a time where you’re learning more about what it’s like to have a healthy relationship, and about what expectations, boundaries, and compromise look like,” they add.

Pisces

Are you feeling the urge to re-up your daily routines, Pisces? The sun moves through your sixth house of health, wellness, and rituals this Leo season, encouraging you to “focus on self-improvement and new ways to optimize your life,” says Pacheco. It’s great to get on track and implement new well-being practices, but be careful not to push yourself too hard to adopt a ton of habits at once; remember to leave time for rest—because that’s productive, too.

Hospital district strikes back at board critic – Valley Roadrunner

Palomar Health CEO Diane Hansen in a video sent out to employees last week.

When the Voice of San Diego recently published an article attacking the financial strength of Palomar Health, and it had the fingerprints of a dissident governing board member, John Clark, all over it—Palomar Health CEO and President Diane Hansen and most of the board were not amused. 

Monday night the board by a vote of 5-2 passed a “vote of no confidence” in Clark. What does that accomplish, actually?  Not much. Or much more than censure vote of Clark several years ago. But it probably doesn’t enhance Clark’s prestige one bit. It is not possible for a board to expel a fellow member, so this is probably about as far as they can go.

Previously, Clark had been removed from all of his committee appointments.

CEO releases video 

Several days before Monday’s vote, CEO Hansen released a video to employees to push back against recent news reports that the district is in financial difficulties (see Part II of our front page Q&A with the CEO in last week’s and this week’s paper.) The second largest employer in North County, Palomar Health has about 4,000 employees.

The video was entitled: “An important and timely message from Diane Hansen, president and CEO of Palomar Health.” Hansen gravely said: “Recently we had something happened that impacted the entire organization and impacted us all. False information about our stability. I want to make sure you get the truth directly from me.”

The CEO emphasized that “Palomar Health is strong and financially viable.” She said, “Let me be clear: there is no truth in the statements made in that article. We have spent the last six years building a strong foundation. Our objectives have allowed us to be innovative and creative and create the best patient experience possible.”

The district insisted Hansen, is “a very strong organization and like many other strong originations across the nation, we had to a little bit of a step back this year. But we are anticipating our best year ever this year. The best year in the history of the organization! I want you to be proud of that and I want you to know that we are strong and financially viable and we are looking forward to the future.” 

She pounded home: “Palomar Health is strong and financially viable” and “Let me be clear, there is no truth in the statements in that article.” She added, “We worked tirelessly to build and maintain a reputation for excellence. The article does not reflect the facts.”

Near the end of the video Hansen indicated darkly that a reckoning was coming. “We are taking action to rectify the misstatements that were made.” She added, “We are considering every action that we may think to see this doesn’t happen in the future.” She invited employees with concerns to contact her at [email protected].

Board reckoning

The reckoning wasn’t long in coming. At Monday’s meeting Hansen called out the Voice article. “We did send a demand for retraction to the Voice of San Diego. We are prepared if they do not retract that article. It is unfair. We are prepared to take additional steps. We are not going to stand for this. We are going to stand up for this organization.”

Then she turned her attention to who in another article  (Hansen Q & A in the edition) she has called a “rogue” board member, John Clark.

Hansen said, “We are taking this article incredibly seriously. The article was very damaging to Palomar. I want everyone to know that we as leaders and board members in this organization, have a responsibility to this organization. We need to be good stewards of the assets and do whatever we can to support the organization—I cannot stress enough how this is detrimental to our reputation and to the work that is done here every day.”

A board member read out a list of offenses: “The harm that you’re [referring to Clark] are causing the district. The harm that you’re causing the 500,000 patients. The harm you’re causing the people of North County” and concluding: “We’re not supposed to cause harm, we’re supposed to help.”

Board Chairman Linda Greer thanked Hansen for doing the video. “You humbled yourself as a leader to do that.” She referred to “a disgruntled board director and an inept and incompetent news reporter.”

“I’d like to know what I’ve done?” demanded Clark. “I believe this is just another attempt to silence me. What specifically are the allegations? Can I ask for more specificity?” He implied that being subject of a vote of no confidence was like a badge of honor. “I will be joining others who have gotten votes of no confidence. Our CEO received a vote of no confidence by our nurses.”

Clark said he has expressed opposition to some financial policies of the district at public meetings. “We’re in financial stress and we should have monthly reports, not just quarterly,” said Clark. “I believe this process is flawed and could lead to unnecessary litigation. I have not had not time to answer any of these allegations. I ask that this be postponed to give me time to answer these allegations and seek outside counsel.”

He added, “You’re accusing me because I ask these professionals valid questions that I caused them to leave? I think they left on their own volition. You talk about my voting record. If someone votes against you,  you think it’s a wrong position. Don’t you dare question how much I love this district! We are an independent board of directors. I have the responsibility to represent my voters in Poway. It’s not just me. The public feels this way. I’m trying to do something and do it for the betterment of the hospital. We are, in my opinion, trying to run this like a dictatorship!”

Greer retorted that Clark had never attended board meeting training seminars. “You did not attend strategic planning and yet you expect to know things. You have not taken the time to educate yourself. Your voting record is atrocious. You don’t take the burden we have taken. We have to work harder because we have to cover you.”

She read some comments from a doctor as a result of the Voice article: “ ‘People keep asking me about the Voice article. Why is Clark trying to destroying this organization from within? My colleagues are asking if I’m going to lose my job. Now our hospital is given a bad reputation.’ ”

Board member Laurie Edwards-Tate, said she was uncomfortable with the process. “What’s missing is an independent outside investigation,” she said. “Any one of us, whether we think it could happen, could be called to question and it may not be true. Did in fact Dr. Clark do or do this thing? Did this man actually do this thing? I have a propensity for not liking hearsay and what someone has done to whom. I would like to defer this issue. This is an elected official and we don’t want to slander a board member.”

Vice-Chairman Jeff Griffith declared, “There is no question what he did. He admits to it and feels it’s his First Amendment right. The totality of his history and actions leads you to the fact that this is a vote of no confidence. It’s not just the article. Its everything he has done since he was elected. There is no detective work. He admits to everything he has done.”

Griffith said the district has lost senior officials because of bad relations with the board. “Now it cost us talent and now it has cost us money. It seems to come back to hubris. We have 4,000 families who depend on us to make the best decisions possible and not to harm. I have been so disappointed in this. I feel ashamed by some of the other actions on the part of other board members. I wish to apologize. We can do better. Hopefully we can turn a corner and move past this.”

Board member Mike Pacheco added, “I want to echo what Griffith has said in thanking our CEO and administrative staff about the hard work you do to make this district better. I would like to say that the article was way off base. The reporter has not done justice in putting out an unbiased story. We do have publications that the CEO has spoken to like The Roadrunner and Escondido Times-Advocate who are telling a truthful story. In doing a good job in finding out the true information.”

Board member Laura Barry said Clark had been part of the group “who insulted Carlos when he was CFO. If anyone could sue, it’s Carlos. As far as inaccurate accusations and imprudent behavior, that was a real good example of it. It’s why I have no confidence in you.” Barry added, “You lent credence to the article. We have a policy on not speaking to the press as individuals for this reason. Our law firm has found multiple inaccuracies in that article. The investigation was done. You as a board member shouldn’t have participated in it. We’re used to your negativity, but some of our doctors and nurses were upset and felt betrayed. We would like you to start acting like you care about our staff. These are really good people doing really good work.”

Griffith said, “It’s not just the article. It’s your performance since you were elected. Being not part of the board of directors and only having your own interest. You have caused staff to leave. You have caused trauma to the district. It’s not just an article you provided information to—it’s a continuation of all your service.”

Laurie Edwards-Tate, moved to postpone to obtain an outside investigation. “So we have an impartial truth and a reduction in potential litigation.” She asked to postpone the no confidence vote until August and engage an outside investigation as to the article’s origins.

She added, “I don’t think it’s a healthy approach to dealing with problems and conflict. I am not convinced. It is very possible the reporter could have gotten a report from Moody’s rather than Clark. I want fairness, transparency. Anything else to me is subject to hearsay.”

Pacheco corrected the statement about Moody’s. “It was not a downgrade in our rating, it’s a downgrade in our outlook, which is completely different.” 

When the matter was brought to a vote, it passed 5-2, with Clark and Edwards-Tate voting no.

According to a recent announcement, patient dosing in the first cohort of the SUNRISE-FA study (NCT05445323), a phase 1/2 trial assessing LX2006 (Lexeo Therapeutics), an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy, in patients with friedreich ataxia (FA) cardiomyopathy, has completed. The first patient in the second dose cohort of the trial has commenced as well.1

SUNRISE-FA, an ongoing, dose-ascending, open-label trial, includes approximately 9 individuals with FA-associated cardiomyopathy who are followed for a 52-week period. Thus far, preliminary data from the first dose cohort indicated that the therapy was well tolerated, with no unexpected events or toxicities.

“New treatment approaches, like LEXEO’s LX2006 gene therapy candidate, are critical for individuals and caregivers confronted with the debilitating realities of FA,” Jennifer Farmer, chief executive officer, Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance, said in a statement.1 “Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in individuals diagnosed with FA, so we are incredibly encouraged by the work that LEXEO has undertaken to try to address this life-threatening complication through gene therapy. We are grateful to all the individuals in the FA community who volunteer and participate in research studies and clinical trials.”

FA is a rare, autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the autosomal frataxin (FXN) gene. Currently, there is no approved therapy that alters the progression of cardiomyopathy in FA, which is responsible for 59% of FA-related deaths. LX2006, administered as a one-time infusion, is designed to target the cardiac manifestations of FA by delivering functional FXN gene to promote the expression of the frataxin protein and restore mitochondrial function in myocardial cells.

The 3 cohorts of the trial will assess LX2006 in low, mild, and high doses, with safety, as demonstrated through treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and treatment-emergent serious events, as the primary outcome. Patients included in the trial are between 18 and 40 years of age, have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of FA, and met protocol specified ranges for antibodies and measures for FA cardiomyopathy. Those with uncontrolled diabetes, abnormal liver function, active infection of any time, and a contraindication to cardiac MRI, were excluded from the study.2

“The advancement of SUNRISE-FA helps pave the way for a potential life-altering treatment for patients with FA cardiomyopathy. Because no approved therapy has been shown to treat the cardiac manifestations of FA, a significant unmet need persists for these patients,” R. Nolan Townsend, chief executive officer, Lexeo Therapeutics, said in a statement.1 “We look forward to continuing to progress this program with data readouts expected in the first half of 2024.”

The cardiac involvement seen in FA is a consequence of mitochondrial proliferation as well as the loss of contractile proteins and the subsequent development of myocardial fibrosis. The walls of the left ventricle become thickened, and different phenotypic manifestations are seen, including concentric or asymmetric hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy and arrythmia are associated with mortality in patients with FA, whereas hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is not.3

In 2014, a consensus statement for the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with FA recommended that electrocardiogram and echocardiography should be performed at the initial presentation and that patients should be referred to a cardiologist only for cardiac symptoms or abnormal cardiac testing. Cardiac MRIs, which can detect remodeling and decreased myocardial perfusion reserve, may be a useful tool in the early detection of disease and/or monitoring the therapeutic response.

3 arrested in connection to deadly shooting at Florida City Walmart; 1 charged with murder

A dispute between two groups led to a shooting at a Walmart in Florida City that left one person dead and another injured. On Thursday, Miami-Dade Police took three suspects into custody.

The shooting suspect was identified as 25-year-old Steve Lestin. Detectives said he confessed to pulling the trigger.

Lestin faces one count of second-degree murder and one count of attempted felony murder.

Also taken into custody were 20-year-old Roberto Acevedo and 21-year-old Jimari Hodge. They were charged with battery and are believed to have instigated the fight that ultimately led to the shooting.

Wednesday night, police identified the deceased victim as 23-year-old Nathaniel Baez. Officials said he was one of the six people involved in the altercation.

The surviving victim, a bystander during the shooting, was identified as 72-year-old Alan Donla.

Thursday afternoon, Lestin appeared before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Mindy S. Glazer.

“You must stay at least 500 feet away from the victim, his home, school and place of employment at all times,” said Glazer. “Also, stay away from the Walmart.”

The incident occurred just before 3 p.m. at a nail salon located inside the retail giant, located at 33501 S. Dixie Highway.

“I was crazy. It was like somebody, they went crazy, screaming and everything, kids crying,” said witness Johnny Pacheco.

Moments before the chaos, detectives said, Acevedo, Hodge and Lestin went up to Baez and other people he was with “and began a fight with them, striking them about their bodies with their fists repeatedly.

That’s when things escalated.

Upon arrival, police found two individuals with gunshot wounds and immediately transported them to Jackson South Medical Center for urgent medical attention.

Police said a bullet hit Donla in the foot. 7News has confirmed he is out of the hospital and is recovering at home.

According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, a third person required medical attention after hitting her head during the chaos.

Walmart released the following statement:

“We are deeply saddened by what took place in our Florida City store, and our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones. The store is closed at this time. We will work closely with local law enforcement through the course of their investigation and will refer further questions to police.“

Paramedics treated five other people at the scene for minor cuts and scrapes.

The store has since reopened. A picture taken Thursday showed a Florida City Police officer was seen standing in front of the nail salon where the shooting happened.

Shoppers said they feel a little uneasy.

“I’m scared, you know, because I’m busy here. I come here to [do] shopping, you know, food. It’s horrible,” said a customer.

It remains unknown what started the argument between the two groups. Police are investigating and want to speak to the other people involved.

Lestin remains in jail with no bond.

7News reached out to Donla. His wife said he had no comment.

Cloud Computing and Its Impact

In today’s digital age, businesses are constantly seeking innovative ways to streamline their operations, enhance productivity, and improve data security. One technology that has revolutionized the way businesses operate is cloud computing. Cloud computing offers a plethora of benefits and has a significant impact on businesses of all sizes. Let’s take a closer look at cloud computing and how it can transform your business.

Overview of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the practice of storing and accessing data, applications, and resources over the internet instead of relying on local servers or personal computers. In simple terms, it allows businesses to access their data and software via the internet, eliminating the need for costly on-premises infrastructure.

Cloud computing typically involves three main types of services:

  1. Software as a Service (SaaS): With SaaS, businesses can access software applications through a web browser without the need for installation or maintenance. Popular examples of SaaS include customer relationship management (CRM) software, project management tools, and email services like Gmail.
  2. Platform as a Service (PaaS): PaaS provides businesses with a platform to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. It offers developers the tools and environment they need to create and deploy applications quickly and efficiently.
  3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): IaaS provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. Businesses can rent servers, storage, and networking components from a cloud provider, allowing them to scale up or down based on their needs, rather than investing in physical hardware.

Benefits for Businesses

Cloud computing offers numerous benefits that can have a significant impact on your business:

  1. Scalability and Flexibility: Cloud computing allows businesses to easily scale their resources up or down based on demand. Whether you need additional storage space, computing power, or bandwidth, you can quickly adjust your cloud resources to meet your requirements. This flexibility enables businesses to adapt to changing market conditions and handle spikes in traffic without investing in costly infrastructure.
  2. Cost Savings and Accessibility: With cloud computing, businesses can significantly reduce their IT infrastructure costs, as there is no need to invest in expensive hardware, maintenance, or upgrades. Cloud services are typically offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, allowing businesses to only pay for the resources they use. Additionally, cloud computing provides anytime, anywhere access to data and applications, making it easier for remote teams to collaborate and access critical information.
  3. Data Backup and Disaster Recovery: Traditional data backup and disaster recovery methods can be costly and time-consuming. Cloud computing offers automated backup and recovery solutions, ensuring that your data is safe and easily recoverable in the event of a disaster. By storing your data in the cloud, you can minimize downtime and maintain business continuity.

Cost Savings and Accessibility

“Cloud computing allows businesses to innovate and grow without the burden of upfront infrastructure costs.” – John Doe, CEO of ABC Company.

Cloud computing is a game-changer for businesses of all sizes. It empowers organizations to access advanced software, storage, and computing resources without the need for substantial upfront investments. By leveraging cloud services, businesses can experience significant cost savings, increased accessibility, and enhanced operational efficiency.

If you’re considering implementing cloud computing in your business, partner with a trusted and experienced provider like Pacheco Information Technologies. They can guide you through the process and tailor cloud solutions to meet your specific needs.
