Did she know any artists? “Yeah,” she said, “I know a few.”The place was just eight by 25 feet, and the idea was to make a gallery by artists, for artists. The first show there was an exhibition of pencil drawings by Steven Kramer, Ms. Astor’s husband at the time; all 20 of the pieces sold, at $50 each, which seemed like a promising beginning. Mr. Scharf, who had already turned all of the appliances at Ms. Astor’s home into his signature outer-space critters, was offered the next show. He was also given the opportunity to name the place for its duration.

CNN —What sounds like an enticing historical thriller mostly falls flat in “Manhunt,” an Apple TV+ series about the frantic search for John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Anthony Boyle as John Wilkes Booth in "Manhunt." That’s especially true of Booth, through no fault of Boyle’s, who as written possesses less depth than his flamboyantly villainous mustache. “Manhunt” sounds promising on paper, only to mirror Apple’s even-splashier World War II series “Masters of the Air” by offering a meticulously produced window into the past that only fitfully gets off the ground. “Manhunt” premieres March 15 on Apple TV+.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — After spending the last eight seasons as Craig Counsell’s bench coach, Pat Murphy is taking over for his former boss as the Milwaukee Brewers’ manager. Counsell took over as the Brewers’ manager when Ron Roenicke was fired in 2015. He hired Murphy as his bench coach following that 2015 season. When the Padres hired Andy Green as their full-time manager after the 2015 season, Murphy joined Counsell’s staff in Milwaukee. Weeks played for the Brewers in 2003 and from 2005-14, making the NL All-Star team in 2011.

☆ Why the U.S. won't change physical cash
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-07 | by ( Mark Licea | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The Federal Reserve will spend $931.4 million to print bills in 2023 — but there's a problem with U.S. cash. Physical currency has been updated around the world but not in the U.S., and while an increasing number of Americans are ditching cash for electronic payments, experts say cash isn't going away. In 2017, the $100 bill surpassed the $1 bill as the most popular currency denomination. Some speculate that the rise in $100 bills in circulation may be to avoid taxes or for illegal activity. … In the 1960s, the half dollar lost its place because it wasn't included in the use of parking meters," said Mudd.

“My personal favorite was Nikki Haley,” Sarcone told CNN of the former South Carolina governor after watching Wednesday’s debate at her Urbandale home in the Des Moines suburbs. Betsy Sarcone, right, watches the GOP debate with her parents Russ and Susan Sanders. To that end, these were the two biggest takeaways from our group: Haley made a strong impression, and Ramaswamy stirs an undercard version of the Trump GOP divide. “Some Trump people may have found that attractive about Ramaswamy, right?” Betsy Sarcone said. She personally would be my favorite candidate right now.

Mudd does not dispute this but says he would have more confidence if states followed the same procedures. “Nothing about that deal is the American way, I don’t think,” Mudd Sr. says of the latest Trump indictment. And it vividly captures the country’s red state-blue state divide, which includes what you think of Trump and where you get your news. Taylor supported Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the 2016 caucuses, but voted for Trump in November 2016 and again in 2020. Shopping around is an Iowa tradition, but both understand that a splintered field eventually helps Trump, as it did in 2016.

[1/2] May 3, 2023; Louisville, KY, USA; A horse walks on Churchill Downs' backside Wednesday morning May 3, 2023, in Louisville, Ky. Mandatory Credit: Matt Stone-USA TODAY SportsMay 4 (Reuters) - A series of horse deaths at Churchill Downs cast a shadow over the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby, which kicks off the prestigious Triple Crown thoroughbred racing series on Saturday. Churchill Downs on Thursday handed an indefinite suspension to Saffie Joseph, Jr., who trained two of the horses that died, Parents Pride and Chasing Artie. The suspension forced another derby entrant, Joseph-trained Lord Miles, to scratch from Saturday's race.

☆ Former Facebook Execs Launch Startup, Adding to Efforts to Improve Ad Measurement

Two former executives of Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. are seeking to solve one of the social-media industry’s biggest challenges in recent years: allowing marketers to measure the effectiveness of their ads while maintaining user privacy. Graham Mudd and Brad Smallwood each spent more than a decade building Meta’s advertising system, which allowed the company to offer granular data about how ad campaigns worked with individual users, often by tracking their web and mobile activity. Apple Inc. took steps in 2021 to allow users to limit most tracking, making it far more difficult to gauge the success of online advertising and upending the way social-media companies made money.

☆ STUDIU: Insuficienţa respiratorie în COVID-19 nu este provocată de citokine

Probele au fost prelevate de la pacienţii cu gripă în 2019 sau 2020 şi de la subiecţii cu COVID-19 şi persoanele sănătoase în acest an. Şapte sau 4% dintre pacienţii cu COVID-19 au prezentat semne ale furtunii cu citokine, cu niveluri extrem de ridicate de citokine chiar şi în comparaţie cu alţi pacienţi grav bolnavi. Cheia succesului va consta în găsirea unei modalităţi de a identifica la momentul internării persoanele cu risc ridicat de dezvoltare a furtunii de citokine. "Din populaţia pe care am studiat-o, 24% au decedat, însă doar 4% au prezentat o furtună de citokine", a declarat coautorul Philip Mudd, profesor asistent de medicină de urgenţă care profesează la Barnes-Jewish Hospital. "Majoritatea persoanelor care au decedat de COVID-19 au murit fără (a avea) o furtună de citokine.
