400-pound monster alligator named Pepe ‘detained' for ‘being a dinosaur without proper papers' in NC
The scales of justice came for Pepe. Cops detained – and rescued – a monster 10-foot alligator they nicknamed Pepe the Gator sunbathing on a busy road in North Carolina and 'charged' him on suspicion of being a 'dinosaur.' 'Witnesses say he was just chilling and snapping, clearly ignoring the 'no loitering or lounging on roadways' sign,' the Onslow County Sheriff's Office wrote in a playful press release last week. 'Pepe has been cited for Suspicion of Being a Dinosaur Without Proper Papers, Public Loitering with Intent to Sunbathe, and Obstructing Traffic.' Advertisement 3 Deputies and a wildlife officer straddle Pepe the Gator, who was playfully charged with being a dinosaur without proper papers as he sunbathed on a North Carolina highway last month. Onslow County Sheriff's Office The responding deputies and officers from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission who got the call on May 25 managed to safely remove Pepe, but not before posing for pictures where they straddle him like rodeo riders. 'He was 10 feet long, 400 pounds. He was an absolute monster,' Trevor Dunnell, spokesman for the Onslow County Sheriff's Office told the Post Thursday. Advertisement 'They did a fantastic job of wrangling him.' To indicate the scale of the gator, Dunnell pointed out how, in the picture, even with three grown men on top of him, Pepe's still not covered. 'The picture really doesn't do it justice, I mean 10 feet … 10 feet is a basketball goal, that is a massive creature,' he said. Although 10 feet seems big, it's nothing compared to the largest gator on record – 14 feet and 3 and a half inches. Advertisement Deputies and wildlife officials used a towel to cover Pepe's eyes — eye contact is what triggers the animal's notorious death roll, Dunnell explained — and electrical tape to seal his mouth shut. 'It was definitely some MacGyver stuff they had to use,' he said. 'He may not have a good time during the removal, but he was playfully enough about it later to understand that, 'Hey, man, you gotta do what you gotta do.'' 3 Deputies and a wildlife officer in North Carolina successfully relocated Pepe the Gator. Onslow County Sheriff's Office Dunnell said the office received blowback from people online wishing the cops had just left Pepe alone. but Dunnell was quick to point out that leaving the reptile on the side of the road could have posed a hazard not only to residents but also to the gator. Advertisement 'You never know what can happen when kids are running around,' he said. 'And the gator could wind up in the middle of the road. It could hurt drivers but it could hurt him, too.' Dunnell said he hopes to see body camera footage of Pepe's apprehension. The two deputies and the wildlife official in the picture are happy to be riding him, Dunnell said, adding that if authorities encounter another Pepe, they'll know who to call. 3 The sheriff's office dropped all charges against Pepe the Gator, who was playfully suspected of being a dinosaur without his proper papers, after he was returned to his natural habitat. Onslow County Sheriff's Office 'But some deputies were absolutely not fine,' he said. 'When they got back, they were saying, 'You're not going to catch me on that thing. I'm not going to go anywhere near it!'' Pepe was far from home, and Dunnell suspects that it was a hot day and he was looking for a good spot to bask. 'How far he wandered is anybody's guess,' he said. 'It must've been several miles at least.' After further investigation, Dunnell said, they declined to charge Pepe. Instead, they drove him to a boat ramp at nearby Camp Geiger, a satellite facility of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Advertisement 'I think we've touched base with the gator and let him know we dropped the charges,' he joked. 'Pepe's back to his normal routine, he's hanging out near the beach and lounging in his natural habitat, hunting for his food and looking for a girlfriend.'

5 Father's Day gift ideas that are thoughtful and useful
Article content Article content Okay, maybe your dad is more like MacGruber, but there's really nothing that can bring the MacGyver out in men of a certain age better than a Swiss Army knife. Armed with the Ranger from Victorinox (one of the two companies licensed to make knives for the Swiss military — and essentially anyone else who wants to buy one), he'll be prepared for anything. Article content Sure, he'll probably just use it to open bottles and pick corn out of his teeth, but he will also do so with full confidence that in the event of calamity, he'll be fully equipped to spring into action and save the world. Article content The Ranger has 21 built-in tools. Are we going to list them all? Yes, we are. Article content Blade, small Nail file Nail cleaner Metal saw Metal file Corkscrew Multipurpose hook Screwdriver 2.5 mm Toothpick Can opener Screwdriver 3 mm Scissors Blade, large Tweezers Chisel 4 mm Bottle opener Screwdriver 6 mm Wire stripper Wood saw Keyring Reamer, punch and sewing awl Article content Article content Article content How long does it take for an album to be considered a classic? Ten years is a nice round number, so let's go with that. By that measure, Vampire Weekend's third LP, Modern Vampires of the City, certainly qualifies. Article content In a retrospective essay marking the album's 10th anniversary in 2023, Stereogum's Chris DeVille described Modern Vampires as both a 'masterpiece' and 'one of history's sunnier death-obsessed records'. That's because it strikes the right balance between darkness and levity and between experimentalism and accessibility. Article content By 2013, Vampire Weekend had managed to divide the music-critic blogosphere, with many finding the Brooklyn band led by singer Ezra Koenig too preoccupied with the minute tribulations of the privileged, too indebted to African pop, and entirely too precious by half. With Modern Vampires of the City, the group won over the naysayers by shrugging off all preconceived notions and focusing on genuinely brilliant songwriting and innovative production. Article content Article content Article content Depending on your budget, this one might be a bit of a splurge, but it's actually a great deal when you consider that a regular Deluxe Reverb amplifier could run you anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 depending on the from the price, the major difference between the Tone Master and other Fender Deluxe Reverb amps is that the Tone Master is all-digital, designed to re-create that classic amp sound without tubes. What does this mean for the player? For one thing, it means that the Tone Master models the circuitry and 22-watt power output of an original Deluxe tube amp — but with the added oomph of a high-performance 100-watt digital power amp.

Triad adapted PE specialist brings joy to student exercise
HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) — Jason Novak loves every moment he gets to spend with his students. Whether it is at the Special Olympics games or in school, he is always encouraging them. Novak is a Guilford County Schools adapted physical education specialist. He thrives when his students thrive. One of his students, Tomas, was chosen as a Torch Bearer for the Spring Special Olympics games, and Novak could not have been more proud. About Tomas, he says, 'We have definitely built a connection. I really like seeing him be able to achieve things that you know a lot of people might look at him and say, oh, he can't do that, but it's my job to make sure that we adapt it in some way that he is still successful and it might, like I said earlier, it might look a little different, but he's still able to achieve the ultimate goal.' Throughout the school year, Mr. Novak's students look forward to his classes. They get excited when they see him because they know they are going to have some fun. 'You know, a lot of my kids struggle with sitting at a desk and you know, having that quiet time focused time that usually happens in a classroom,' Novak says. 'So we get to come in here and its organized chaos, to say the least, but they get to be up, and they get to be active. And so, you know, it's a different setting than what the majority of school is. So they, you know, get to have that fun in here, but we're also learning life skills for them to kind of take out into the community hopefully as they grow older.' He gets his ideas on how to adapt their exercises from many different sources, including a once-favorite television show. 'I grew up watching MacGyver, which is weird, but I kind of say like, you know, just kind of give me a couple pieces of equipment and I'll make it work. Some of the schools I go to are very blessed with the amount of equipment that they have, other schools, not so much. So we just kind of have to make do with what we have a lot of trial by error trial fire mostly cause they'll get upset if they're if they're not successful,' he says. When that happens, he will go back to work and try to figure out something new for his students to try. It's not always easy and definitely not predictable. But he says he loves it. 'I do. I my mom was a teacher for Guilford County schools for 25-30 years, and I knew a long time ago I wanted to be a teacher. I was not built for the classroom. I built to be active and move. And so, I became a PE teacher 18 years ago and did 12 years of Gen. Ed High School and then took a leap into adaptive PE. And that was about six years ago, and I will never turn back.' Novak teaches at 12 different schools across the county, so he spends a lot of his day traveling. But he says it's definitely worth it. 'Heck yeah, it is worth it all day, every day. You know, kind of getting that aha moment of when you see them finally me being able to like adapt something and then being able to see like an older siblings hit a baseball and they struggle hitting that moving ball, but yet we break it down on like a tee or we have it swing on a pendulum. So, the ball comes to the exact same spot every time and they make that contact, you know, and they get that feeling of like I've seen other people do this. And I know I can do it as well. So that's probably the best part!' He says, 'Every day is different. Every school is different. Every kid is different.' But one thing never changes. That's this PE Specialist's dedication to his students. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Running the ED Like a Pro: Your Residency Playbook
This transcript has been edited for clarity. Robert D. Glatter, MD: Hi, and welcome. I'm Dr Robert Glatter, medical advisor for Medscape Emergency Medicine. Joining me today to discuss tips for success in emergency medicine (EM) residency is Dr Amy Ho, an emergency physician and also a member of Medscape's advisory board. Welcome, Amy. It's really great to have you join me. Amy Faith Ho, MD, MPH: Thanks again for having me, Rob. Glatter: Preparing for success in EM residency requires careful planning, especially in the age of a plethora of informational apps and digital technologies that we all know about. It also involves anticipation of the needs of patients, finding hacks to maximize efficiency, and most importantly, developing a great rapport with all members of your team and your emergency department. There was a recent Reddit thread that my editor, Anya Romanowski, had sent to me, and it brought back thoughts of our prior interviews in which you had explained MacGyver-like techniques as approaches to patient care challenges in the emergency department. I was hoping you could share a list of procedural and informational approaches and hacks to help ensure success for those entering EM residency, in the spirit of MacGyver and also the Reddit thread. One of the first things you and I had spoken about is that EM is a team-based have to treat your team well. I'll let you go from there. Teamwork Makes EM Work Ho: Absolutely, Rob. I love this topic because it's really the art and the style part of being an EM physician. You mentioned this is great for residents, but I think it's great for anyone practicing EM, not only residents and not only if you're new at a job. You're totally right. EM is a team-based sport. On the Reddit thread that you referenced, the number one tip was not something medical at all, but it was 'Definitely don't date your coworkers,' which I'll not comment on. I do think there is a large amount in terms of the team. Know who your team is and respect them. Introduce, acknowledge, and thank everyone, and try to learn their names. This isn't just your nurses and technicians, but also scribes, chaplains, the radiology technician, environmental services, and the police. There are so many people we depend on, and it means so much to acknowledge who they are. With that, it's not only acknowledging them, but also helping with all tasks. Nothing will fail you more in a department than the attitude of 'not my job.' Help roll and transfer patients, clean up if you have time, and always clean up sharps yourself from any procedure you do. That is just the fundamental safety point. Knowing Names and Pitching In Glatter: You mentioned knowing names. Obviously, we all forget names, but knowing someone's name is very personal. When you know their name, it makes them feel better and shows respect. It shows that you're focused, and I appreciate you pointing that out. Ho: Absolutely. Knowing what the team members bring to the table, being willing to help, respecting them, even learning parts of their trade and helping. Like I said, rolling, knowing how to turn off the beeping monitors and drips, getting a sandwich or a blanket for patient. It's really about being considerate. Glatter: It's not that it's not your job. Everyone pitches in, and when that happens, team building occurs naturally. Ho: As you build rapport with your team, you just start to know how you practice, you know how they work, and many things just become natural. One of my big things is doing sensitive exams for patients all together. As the staff get to know me, they know that if we're going to do a pelvic, we'll all go in together, we'll knock it out, we'll be done, and then the patient also only has to do it one time. Utilizing Apps Can Significantly Improve Workflow Efficiency Glatter: Moving on to apps. The number of apps is just exploding by the week and by the month. I would love to know what you think are the best apps going into residency, and for attendings as well. Ho: There are so many apps out I trained, we had numerous cards, which we would have on our badge tag, ready to use. These days, who doesn't have their phone on them at all times? Apps are only as good as you know how to use them. I've broken this down into the apps I think are key. One is MDCalc, because we are the specialty of knowing very little and trying to risk stratify. I think MDCalc is so core, but you have to know which tools you use and when. Second, I think you need one core EM app. There are many of them. There's EM-RAP Core Pendium, there's palmEM, and there's WikEM. I suggest to try them out, see what's natural to you, and then just commit to that one. Third is an electronic health record (EHR) app. For example, Haiku for Epic, It's key to your workflow for adding pictures, looking at the board, signing orders, and so on. It's also worth talking about artificial intelligence (AI) apps (eg, ChatGPT and OpenEvidence). We literally have intelligence at our fingertips now to ask any question of, 'Hey, what's the workup for X, Y, or Z?' Of course, do not share personal health information (PHI), but AI is really the future for references. Lastly, our special EM apps (ie, Emergency Ultrasound Handbook, epocrates for meds, UpToDate, Full Code, and Pedi STAT). There's a handful that might be really relevant to your practice. So, just pick which one those are and again, get familiar with them. AI Tools Are Becoming Integral in EM Glatter: Do you find that your residents are starting to use more AI right now in terms of that immediacy and being able to get answers? Are there too many hallucinations you're seeing from the AI in reference to, say, more specific things in EM, or more nuanced things that AI hasn't yet caught up to? Ho: Absolutely. I see residents using AI often. I think the big danger is that, especially if you are a new resident, you haven't built in the gestalt to be like, wait a second, that doesn't feel right . I do always say for anyone, but especially residents, take it all with a grain of salt. Anything that you're going to act on needs to be cross-referenced yourself manually to make sure that is actually true, and again, not a hallucination. I feel like, as an attending, having AI as a reference is great. I'll read something as a response and be like, yep, that totally cues . I just couldn't get it at the tip of my tongue . Efficiency Hacks: Templates Now, AI Tomorrow Glatter: You made a comment about discharge instructions that, if you're typing them in multiple times, you need a template. I'll let you expand upon that. Ho: I'm actually an informaticist as well as being an ER doctor, so I love efficiency and workflow. Anything you're typing or clicking more than three times (eg, discharge instructions), you need to save as a template such as RICE. Favorite orders or order sets with the instructionsand the dosing, you need to have saved as template. Same for things such as medical decision-making (MDM), if you have common differentials you always use for certain chief complaints, and for history of present illness (HPI), because we do ask the same questions over and over. I think all those just let you fly out of notes in like 60 seconds. Glatter: In terms of scribes, I don't know if you work with scribes or even if AI now is integrated into your EHR, but things are changing quickly. Scribes had been the advance in the last decade, but AI now is coming into the forefront. It's not ready for prime time in my opinion, but maybe 10 years from now there may be a role. How do you see the role of AI in EM as sort of a hack? Ho: It absolutely is a hack. I think it'll be faster than 10 years. I think in 3 years, we will all be using AI. I know many people using AI scribing platforms. There are ones that are released by EHRs. There's Abridge, which I think is one of the really common ones. Not only do they help you in terms of scribing, but they also offer you some MDM. They give you pearls to look for. You can customize them for cues for yourself. They're incredible and will likely be a key part of residency soon because you have to know how to use these tools. I will just say, please do not use those tools without the explicit approval and rollout by your hospital, because that is all patient data. Using Ultrasound to Engage Patients and Speed Diagnosis Glatter: You talk about using the ultrasound machine in the midst of doing a physical and multitasking in this capacity. Sometimes it's difficult to do, but what's your hack for doing that? How do you do these things all together? Ho: I love ultrasound, as do most EM physicians. I make sure that I actually do the ultrasound as I'm talking to the patient. They love it. I show them what I see on the screen, and it gives me some immediate answers on what's going if I see cholecystitis, I already know the answer. Staying Prepared: Keeping Essential Supplies Within Reach I think also keeping equipment nearby is key. In general, I always have a flush and an IV because you never know when you're going to do an ultrasound-guided IV. At the beginning of shift, I'll grab one of these big pink buckets and just fill it with the suppliesI think I might need. For example, bandages, if I'm working in urgent care area. If I'm working trauma, I'll have Dermabond and all the common things that I might want for that shift, and having it near so I can just grab it and go. Anticipating Needs: Preparing the IV for Seamless Care Glatter: If you spot a patient who has poor access, why not put the ultrasound-guided IV in ahead of one of the residents or nurses and just save time? That's an aspect of team building that I see working in the department. If you're going to go ahead and be proactive, that says something about you. Ho: Absolutely, and it's good for the patient. It decreases pokes and it is procedurally amazing for getting good at central lines, too. Fighting Anchoring Bias: Stay Open-Minded Glatter: In terms of anchoring bias, we have kind of fallen victim to this at times. It's hard to fight this. You think something is quite obvious, but it may not be obvious. How do you deal with anchoring bias, specifically? Ho: This was one of the arcs that I felt like I really went back and forth on in residency. There were times when I wanted to chart review everything before seeing the patient. There were times when I chart-reviewed nothing and just went and saw the patient. What I settled on is doing a really light chart review. I read the chief complaint, I look at vitals, I look at meds, and maybe their last office note. I already know that I might've been anchored by a nurse, especially an experienced nurse in triage, on how they write the complaint. So, I just keep that in my mind. If the patient says something that doesn't quite sound like what the nurse documented or what's documented elsewhere in the chart, then I try to explore that so that I mitigate my own anchoring bias. Avoiding the Nastygram: Staying on Top of Core Measures Glatter: I wanted to talk about nastygrams because you brought those up for the core measures. What's your approach in terms of avoiding the nastygram? Ho: This was always what I found most demoralizing. I'd work a busy shift. I'd feel great about seeing a sick patient, and then the next day I would get the nasty email from the quality department that said, 'Hey, you missed sepsis by50 cc.' It was soul crushing. It's really important to identify at your facility what those big core measures are that are going to get you into trouble, whether it's sepsis, stroke, STEMI, trauma, or open fractures. Those tend to be the big ones. Then I constantly think about it when I'm running my list. I look at the sickest, and then I look at the things that are in this nastygram bucket. Then, I look for all my other to-do's, things that will move dispositions, and so on. The Human Side of EM: Navigating Family Conversations in Crisis Glatter: How do you multitask and deal with a family member when you have a sick patient? Do you tend to bring in the resident or a nurse or someone from the social work team that could help a family when you're in the midst of a crisis? How do you nuance that? Ho: I'm with you. There's a large amount of nuance there. I do always bring a social worker, case manager, or chaplain to help because there's so much support that's needed. This is the human side of EM. We are not just 'moving meat.' We are really helping save lives and give support to families. There are some conversations where it really should take as long as it needs to take. Telling a family about a bad outcome is something where I actually give my phone to someone else before I come in the room. I tell them to come physically grab me if they need me, but I need to spend as much time as this family wants from me. There are other times when you are going to bounce between rooms. That is part of what you learn in residency, and you'll pick up what resonates with you as your style, too. Glatter: One of the things I was taught is that sitting down in a chair really helps, too. If you consult a patient in a chair vs standing, there's a big difference. Ho: Sitting in the chair is probably the number one tip we get from a patient experience standpoint as well. We do not always have chairs in emergency departments though, so I am known for sitting on top of trash cans often. Getting on the level of the patient or the family that you're talking to slows you down and puts you in the moment at a time when you really should be in the moment, Glatter: These are serious issues. If you spend that extra minute at their level, they feel something. Your energy is there, and that you're relating to them. That really is worth a mountain of gold. Ho: It's worth noting that we go into the ER every day, every other day, or whatever it is that our shift schedule is. It's normal for us to be there, but for most people, they probably don't go to the ER but maybe once in a lifetime. It is an extremely important, vulnerable moment for them, and you're the one that is supporting them through it. Documentation Is Crucial for Legal Protection and Continuity of Care Glatter: Are there any additional things you'd like to bring up that you feel that merit discussion at this point? Ho: Document well. Document what you said, document what the responses were, document what consultants said, their names, and what family members said. It's not only a medical legal thing, but it also is a document that you're passing on to the next clinician that sees the patient. For me, it actually helps me work through that thought process. Don't shortcut your documentation because of time. Sometimes it really matters. Glatter: What about copy and pasting? This has always been a big issue that I've faced. Obviously, it goes on. Medicolegally, there can be some aspects to this, too, because of things your recommendation? Ho: I usually do not copy and paste, because you run yourself into trouble. However, I do believe in templates. On those templates, I leave many clear blanks where I think I shouldcontemporaneously free text what it is that's happening. 'Note bloat' is real. Also, copy and paste is hard to review sometimes. If you are copy and pasting, maybe that information is not that important, and maybe it already exists somewhere else. So, I really like to spend my time on the free text part of it, such as the MDM, the real-time changes in emergency department course, — those sorts of things. Running a Smooth Procedural Sedation: Break It Into Pieces Glatter: One last thing I wanted to talk about is procedural sedation. We've all had a busy shift where we have a patient with sepsis, a shoulder reduction, or someone who's screaming in pain. We want to get them medicated, and we want touse techniques that maximize our time. We may not need a full procedural sedation. There are other hacks and techniques. Ho: Something like procedural sedation is the definition of a team sport because there are many moving parts. I try to chop these longer procedures into pieces. Piece one is getting all your orders, getting all the consents in, and all the medications. That can happen really anytime as you're running between other patients. Piece two is getting all the human resources together. That's when you're about ready to start respiratory therapy then x-ray after. We always forget about x-ray. Splinting, so maybe having a technician ready to help you in case you have to run out. And, obviously, nursing and pharmacy. The procedure itself doesn't take that long. You push medicines, you do your procedure, and you get your confirmatory x-ray. You splint them up, which you can have someone help with, but you need to be in the area in case there are any complications. What I do is I try to save my charting to come up to that point, and I'll grab a mobile computer or just be on the computer right outside the room and work on all of my charting. I still need to be within earshot and eyeshot of the patient while the nurses and the rest of the staff help them,as they're finishing up the splint, coming out with sedation, and those sorts of things. Ordering an X-Ray Remains the Standard of Care Glatter: Would you ever use ultrasound in place of x-ray to save time and confirm that the joint has been reduced? Ho: I actually do love using ultrasound, but I think standard of care is still an x-ray. For me, I personally still always wait for the x-ray. I make sure that I ask the technicians to be right there as I'm doing the procedure so we're ready to go with the board in place and everything else. Glatter: This has been an excellent tutorial from an expert like yourself who is very seasoned, efficient, really knows the hacks, the apps, and the ways to relate to patients. I want to thank you so much for joining me and sharing your knowledge. Robert D. Glatter, MD, is an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in Hempstead, New York.

Will Forte was once roommates with Val Kilmer, who he calls ‘the most interesting person in the world'
Will Forte is remembering when his good friend and 'MacGruber' costar Val Kilmer – who he called 'the most interesting person in the world' – ended up living with him for nearly three months. In an essay published by Vulture on Friday, Forte remembered Kilmer, who died from pneumonia this week at the age of 65, as 'incredibly funny and incredibly smart. He could be super-silly and then turn around and be a little frickin' devil – but a sweet little devil. Life is more vivid when you're hanging out with Val.' Forte explained that the pair had become 'pretty tight' after shooting 'MacGruber,' which was based on a recurring 'Saturday Night Live' spoof of 'MacGyver' featuring Forte and co-starring Kilmer as zany villain Dieter Von Cunth. Due to some real estate issues, Forte said Kilmer was looking for a new place to live, and approached him about staying at his place 'for a couple days.' 'I don't remember if he said 'a couple days,' but I got the impression that it was going to be a couple days,' Forte wrote. 'So he showed up on a Monday, and later that day, his assistant came over with two huge duffel bags filled with books, and I'm like, Oh, this seems like it's maybe going to be more than a couple days. It ended up being two and a half months.' Forte went on to give snapshots of what it was like living with the 'Doors' star, from coming home to a darkened house only to find Kilmer reading with a miner's headlamp on, to wearing boxers on his head, or spontaneously going jogging with him in a linen suit. 'One of the great joys of my life is, as I turned around to look back at him, I saw him jogging back in my direction in this linen suit,' Forte wrote. 'That was him – just full of surprises. Just the most unique person I've ever met.' They also connected on various television shows, including 'The Amazing Race.' At one point, Kilmer came home to find Forte watching it and dismissed the reality competition show as useless fodder that's 'going to rot your mind.' Forte succeeded in convincing Kilmer to try watching it, and soon he was hooked. 'Then, at a certain point, he said, 'Will, you and I have to go do 'The Amazing Race.' We have to. Let's do 'The Amazing Race.'' I'm like, 'I am so fully in.'' He continued to write that they even called their respective agents about getting on the show, but they put the kibosh on it. 'That is, maybe to this day, the biggest regret of my whole career – that I never did 'The Amazing Race' with Val. I think we would've gotten out very quickly, but it just would've been the experience of a lifetime.'
