From Patient Trust to Criminal Charges: The Fall of a Triangle-Area Nurse Practitioner

Keith Allen Henry, a 55-year-old nurse practitioner, has been charged with aggravated sexual battery of a child and additional related offenses in Virginia.

Super Bowl Halftime Show: A Stage of Gold but No Paycheck for Stars Like Usher

The NFL, continuing its long-standing policy, does not pay performance fees to Super Bowl halftime show artists, including Usher, who is set to perform in 2024.

Instead, the league covers production and other expenses, which can be substantial. The Super Bowl offers artists significant exposure, leading to increased sales and public interest in their work.

This benefit is exemplified by past performers like J. Lo, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, and Maroon 5, who saw dramatic spikes in sales post-performance. The debate continues over whether the value of this exposure justifies the lack of direct payment, especially in comparison to the high costs of Super Bowl advertising. Read full story
