HOST BIOS:
LANDON DONOVAN
Landon Donovan is considered one of the greatest U.S. soccer players in history. He co-founded and served as president of San Diego Loyal's USL Team. In 2024, Donovan became the interim head coach of the San Diego Wave. He also served as a broadcaster during both the 2016 World Cup with Copa America Centenario and with FOX in the 2022 World Cup. Landon was also the lead analyst for FOX for their EURO 2024 coverage.
Donovan's decorated and celebrated career as an American soccer icon featured three FIFA World Cup appearances as a player for the U.S. and countless memorable goals. He retired from the game in 2018 tied for the title of all-time leading scorer in USMNT history with 57 goals. He is the only American player to surpass both 50 goals and 50 assists in his career and was the fastest American to earn 100 caps. His individual awards include the only American to win the Golden Ball Award, FIFA's Best Young Player of the World Cup in 2002, the CONCACAF Gold Cup MVP in 2013, the Gold Cup Best XI four times, and U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year a record four times.
His club career highlights included stints at Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga), Everton (Premier League) and Club Leon (Liga MX), but he found his greatest success at home in Major League Soccer. Donovan made a splash from 2001 to 2003 with the San Jose Earthquakes, but his play with the LA Galaxy made him a club legend. Over 247 appearances with the Galaxy, he netted 112 goals and led the team to four MLS Cups, two Supporters Shields, and the 2005 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In recognition of his contributions to the league and soccer in the U.S., MLS renamed its Most Valuable Player award after him in 2015. In May 2023, Donovan was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
* * *
TIM HOWARD
Tim Howard is an American soccer legend. He has the most caps and wins of any goalkeeper in US Soccer history and played in three World Cups, holding the record for most saves by any goalkeeper in a single game in World Cup history. Tim also played 13 seasons in the English Premier League, including three at famed Manchester United, followed by a decade at Everton. During that time, he won an FA Cup title, was named the Premier League Goalkeeper of the Year, and became one of the most beloved players in Everton history. Tim is also the first USA ambassador for Everton Football Club. Tim started his career in MLS with the New York Metrostars and returned to MLS in 2016 with the Colorado Rapids. Retiring from soccer at the end of the 2019 MLS Season, his career in the league was filled with honors including being named a MLS All-Star, All-League, and Humanitarian of the Year.
Tim was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at a young age and has volunteered countless hours to the advocacy of Tourette-related disorders. He continues to be a role model off the field with his philanthropic work through his own foundation. Tim published an autobiography, The Keeper: A Life of Saving Goals and Achieving Them, chronicling his career and life with Tourette Syndrome and OCD.
Tim is also a full-time studio analyst for NBC Sports and their English Premier League broadcast. He also is part of the ownership group of Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash. In 2024, Tim was inducted in the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 31 -- OhioHealth issued the following news release on Oct. 30, 2024:
OhioHealth announced today the opening of the OhioHealth Menopause and Midlife Clinic, located inside the OhioHealth New Albany Medical Campus, to address the unique challenges for women that midlife brings from hormonal changes and mental health to new physical symptoms.
"We want women of all ages and in every stage of their lives to feel seen, heard and understood," Jason Melillo, MD, vice president Women's and Reproductive Health Clinical Service Line, said. "However, we know that this stage of life isoften overlooked and underserved, and we want to be the ones that change that."
The experts within the new Menopause and Midlife Clinic specialize in a variety of services and are there to provide midlife care and beyond for women ranging from mid to late 30s to 65.
"We also will care for women who are unexpectedly placed into menopause at a younger age," Pragna Patel, MD, FACOG, Menopause and Midlife clinic, said, "For example, chemo or surgery for cancer patients, young women who had surgical menopause, young women with primary ovarian insufficiency, etc."
The clinic offers services for premenopausal, perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptom management, hormone therapy, sexual health/sexual dysfunction, mental health and wellness, cancer survivorship, dry skin and hair loss, vaginal and vulvar concerns and lifestyle management.
Services and treatments include:
* Collaboration with OhioHealth's Cancer Survivorship and Supportive Care program
* Dry skin and hair loss
* Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
* Mental health and wellness
* Pelvic health
* Sexual health/sexual dysfunction
* Vaginal and vulvar concerns
"Women in this stage of life are incredibly busy and fulfill multiple roles: partner, mother, daughter, employee, and many other titles. We tend to care for ourselves last," Dr. Patel said. "There is a sort of void in seeing an OBGYN once done having children. Also, historically women have been told this is a phase of life that happens, and you just need to deal with the symptoms, but there are so many options that can improve your overall health and quality of life."
"Providing these services will lead to women leading longer more productive lives and being the best version of themselves for all the people in their life that count on them," Dr. Patel said.

The new Barnes & Noble will officially open tothe public at 10AM ET on Wednesday the 6th. The bookstore showcases the highly lauded bookstore design seen in the most recent Barnes & Noble store openings, featuring all the best books, toys, games and gifts that customers have come to expect from the nation's premier bookseller.
"As we open new stores across the country, returning to malls has been a priority -- especially those that lost their bookstores during the downturn of the early 2000s," said James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble. "Walden Galleria is a vibrant shopping center, and Barnes & Noble is a perfect fit."
Barnes & Noble is enjoying a period of tremendous growth as the strategy to hand control of each bookstore to its local booksellers has proven so successful. The bookseller is experiencing strong sales in its existing stores and has been opening many new stores after more than 15 years of declining store numbers. In 2023, Barnes & Noble opened more new bookstores in a single year than it had in the whole decade from 2009 to 2019. The bookseller expects to open over 60 new bookstores in 2024.
The Walden Galleria location is one of thirteen new Barnes & Noble bookstores set to open in November, alongside new locations in NY, FL, UT, NH, IN, UT, KS, CA, NJ, WA, and Washington DC. Each grand opening has drawn enthusiastic crowds that wrap around the building, filling the store as the ribbon is cut.
"We are so excited to be opening Barnes & Noble here at the Galleria mall," said Store Manager Joel Wolfe, Barnes & Noble bookseller of 11 years. "Books are experiential and require time to browse and feel and contemplate over. The ability to introduce people to these works of art is truly a privilege, and we cannot wait to welcome readers into this beautiful new Barnes & Noble."

"We are delighted to partner with Airbnb to provide unique opportunities that further enrich the experience of our local and visiting audiences -- artists, gallerists, collectors, cultural partners, and enthusiasts -- both at the show and across the cultural landscape of Miami Beach and Greater Miami. Since Art Basel Miami Beach was established in 2002, Greater Miami has become a global cultural destination, offering everything from world-class institutions and private collections, to experimental art spaces year-round. Beyond the halls of the Miami Beach Convention Center, where our show is held, Art Basel week is the apex moment of the American cultural calendar for art, design, film, fashion, entertainment -- drawing a visitorship of unparalleled global breadth and caliber." - Bridget Finn, Director of Art Basel Miami Beach
Curating belonging, and building on Airbnb's ongoing presence in the Magic City:
Airbnb's commitment to Miami extends beyond this partnership. In 2022, Airbnb and Nasdaq debuted a public sculpture garden at The Underline, which transformed a section of the 10-mile linear park into a vibrant and surreal gathering area. A colorful respite in Miami's bustling financial district, the permanent installation represents Miami's diversity and role as a global art capital. Renowned local artists Typoe and EstudioLAAVA weaved together modern architecture, outdoor furniture, and larger-than-life sculpture in an interactive community space. Designed to serve as a space to spark conversation and community, the installation offers a forum for connection and belonging for the Miami community.
