Positive Response Fuels New Efforts by Dr. Anosh Ahmed and the Anosh Inc. Foundation to Support Families of Fallen Officers and FBI Agents
CHICAGO, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A growing wave of public support continues to surround the efforts led by Dr. Anosh Ahmed and the Anosh Inc. Foundation to provide aid to the families of fallen FBI agents and law enforcement officers. Inspired by the positive momentum, Dr. Ahmed is expanding the initiative with renewed focus on fundraising, public education, and community engagement to create long-lasting support for those who have served.Anosh Foundation on the Move
This renewed commitment builds on the foundation's $25,000 donation to nonprofit organizations that support FBI families and law enforcement mental health programs. That initial effort drew widespread appreciation and has inspired new levels of public interest and engagement.
'The response from the community has been deeply encouraging and humbling,' said Dr. Ahmed. 'Through the Anosh Inc Foundation, we're committed to going beyond a one-time donation. This is about creating a broader movement that recognizes the sacrifices made by law enforcement families and ensures they are not forgotten.'
As part of the expansion, the foundation is planning a series of new initiatives aimed at both raising funds and increasing awareness. These include benefit events, targeted donation drives, educational outreach, and collaborations with community organizations that share a similar mission. The foundation also continues to explore ways to align its work with broader public service goals.
While specific partnerships are still in development, the Anosh Inc. Foundation has expressed interest in working with support groups, mental health service providers, and civic leaders who advocate for law enforcement welfare. These efforts will help address not only the immediate needs of families, but also long-term mental health and community support challenges faced by officers and their loved ones.
Dr. Anosh Ahmed emphasized that the foundation's mission is rooted in compassion, unity, and a desire to make a meaningful difference. 'Our goal is to create sustainable impact, not just reactive charity,' he noted. 'We want to help build stronger communities where those who serve and protect are respected, cared for, and supported, especially in their most difficult times.'
The Anosh Inc. Foundation has remained active in supporting communities through a range of charitable initiatives focused on public service, health access, and local engagement efforts in underserved areas.Anosh Foundation: United for a cause

Federal data website outage raises concerns among advocates
A federal website that informs the public about what information agencies are collecting and allows for public comment went down last weekend, and it has only been partially restored. The outage has raised concerns among advocates who already were troubled by the disappearance of data sets from government websites after President Donald Trump began his second term. The website went offline at the end of last week and was partially restored this week. Data was missing after Aug. 1, according to dataindex,us, a collective of data scientists and advocates who monitor changes in federal data sets. As of Thursday, the website's landing page said, it was 'currently undergoing revisions.' Emailed inquiries to the Office of Management and Budget and General Services Administration weren't returned on Thursday. In February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's official public portal for health data, was taken down entirely but subsequently went back up. Around the same time, when a query was made to access certain public data from the U.S. Census Bureau's most comprehensive survey of American life, users for several days got a response that said the area was 'unavailable due to maintenance' before access was restored. Researchers Janet Freilich and Aaron Kesselheim examined 232 federal public health data sets that had been modified in the first quarter of this year and found that almost half had been 'substantially altered,' with the majority having the word 'gender' switched to 'sex,' they wrote last month in The Lancet medical journal. Former Census Bureau official Chris Dick, who is part of the team, said Thursday that no one is quite sure what is going on with the regulatory affairs website, whether there was an update with technical difficulties because of staffing shortages from job cuts or something more nefarious. 'This is key infrastructure that needs to come back,' Dick said. 'Usually, you can fix this quickly. It's not super normal for this to go on for days.' ___ Follow Mike Schneider on the social platform Bluesky: @

Two Years After Maui Burned, Researchers Reveal the Wildfire's True Death Toll
In August 2023, downed power lines on Maui, Hawaii, sparked a wildfire that quickly exploded into multiple, fast-moving blazes fanned by high winds. Over several days, the fires reduced much of the town of Lāhainā to ashes, displacing thousands and killing more than 100 people. New research published Thursday, August 22, in the journal Frontiers in Climate suggests this disaster also caused a population-wide increase in mortality beyond what the official death count captured. By calculating the all-cause excess fatality rate—how many more deaths took place over a given period than expected—scientists found a 67% increase in the local mortality rate for August 2023. During the deadliest week of the blaze, the local death rate was 367% higher than expected. These findings underscore a need for improved disaster preparedness that incorporates Native Hawaiian ecological knowledge, the researchers concluded. Looking at the excess death rate offered a fuller picture of the fire's impact, co-first author Michelle Nakatsuka, a medical student and researcher at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine, told Gizmodo in an email. 'The official numbers mostly count direct causes, like burns or smoke inhalation, but excess deaths capture [the] true toll better by telling us how many more people died than would have otherwise been expected in the month of the Lāhainā fires,' she explained. Disasters like wildfires often cause deaths in indirect ways that affect communities over time. When clinics shut down and roads are blocked off, people can't refill their prescriptions or get dialysis treatments, Nakatsuka explained. Stress and displacement can worsen chronic conditions, and power or communication failures can delay emergency responses. 'These impacts are amplified in under-resourced settings and [are] disproportionately suffered by vulnerable groups, like the elderly or people of color,' she said. Even with this knowledge, Nakatsuka and her colleagues were surprised by the increase in excess mortality during the month of August 2023. Their analysis included all causes of death except covid-19. 'While we anticipated an increase in excess deaths, seeing more than 80 additional deaths in the month of the Lāhainā fires was striking,' Nakatsuka said. 'It was also surprising to see that the proportion of those deaths occurring outside of medical settings was larger than expected,' she added. Indeed, the number of deaths that didn't take place in a medical context—such as the emergency room—rose from 68% in previous months to 80% in August 2023. These people died in homes or public locations, suggesting that many were unable to reach medical care because of the fires. While all-cause excess mortality is useful for correlating increased fatalities with natural disasters, it offers little insight into the details of these deaths, Nakatsuka clarified. 'The main limitation here is that we can't say exactly which deaths were caused by the fires or look into Lāhainā-specific excess mortality; we can only measure the overall increase in deaths,' she said, adding that future research should analyze death records alongside medical and toxicology reports to identify causes of death. Still, these findings reveal a need to improve Maui's disaster preparedness and invest in wildfire mitigation strategies rooted in Indigenous knowledge, Nakatsuka said. 'Native Hawaiian practices center around caring for the land (mālama ʻāina) in ways that naturally reduce fire risk, like restoring native plants, maintaining diverse ecosystems, and managing water resources,' she said. 'Bringing Indigenous knowledge together with modern climate prediction tools will minimize risk of future climate crises and center the community's voice at the heart of disaster prevention and recovery efforts.'

Asking Eric: Boyfriend's eating habits make him less attractive
Dear Eric: I've been in a relationship with my partner for most of my 20s, and while I still love him, I find myself wondering if I am still attracted to him. In the last few years, he has significantly stopped taking care of himself. As a very active and healthy person (I run marathons, bike, lift weights regularly, etcetera), I find it hard to retain that attraction when he does not exercise, eats very poorly, consumes hundreds of grams of sugar a day and overall leads a very sedentary lifestyle.
