AURORA, Colo. -- Olive is a 3-year-old girl who loves to cuddle. As sweet as she is, her parents call her a “champ” because her life so far has been filled with countless hospital visits.“She’s such an easy-going baby, but you can tell it really gets to her to be in the hospital with all the IVs and the stickers and medicine and people coming in and poking you every two hours,” said Olive’s mother, Gloria Angel.Olive has a complex heart disease. It has required her to undergo multiple major surgeries, all of which have gone well, thanks to a new method of cardiac imaging. Children’s Hospital of Colorado is leading the nation as the first medical center combining 2D and 3D imaging to print an exact replica of patients’ hearts.“When olive came, we needed to take a picture of her pulmonary arteries because the left one was a little bit narrowed,” Dr. Jenny Zablah said.Dr. Zablah is the Pediatric Interventional Cardiologist who has been working with Olive. She says the 3D image allows the cardiologists to better picture what is going on so they can plan to fix the problem.Next, a soft 3d model is printed which gives doctors an opportunity to physically work with the model – determining how the veins and arteries will react to the implantation of stents and other devices during surgery.“It’s really cool that they’re using such advanced imagery. I was really grateful to know they were using the best of their technology to take care of her,” Angel said.Not only can surgeons anticipate the condition of the heart prior to surgery, but Dr. Zablah says they’ve also cut radiation and procedural time by more than half.“Every cath procedure involves radiation which increases risk of things like cancer. So, the main goal is trying to do every procedure in the cath lab with the least radiation possible,” Dr. Zablah said.And less time means patients won’t be under for so long.“What was really exciting about it is that they knew what they were up against before they got in there. Because the longer a kiddo is under anesthesia, the risks go up for negative things to happen,” Angel said.Once doctors are done with the model, they use it to give families a deeper understanding of how the heart functions. Then they’re allowed to take it home.“It’s kind of comforting in an abstract way,” Angel said. “You’re just like ‘wow.’”Although little Olive is expected to live a normal life, the model will always be a reminder of the challenges she overcame in her youngest years.“I never thought a tiny human being would teach me about strength. But she has. She’s so resilient, and so happy all the time no matter what,” Angel said. “I think Olive has a wonderful life ahead of her.”******************************************************If you'd like to contact the journalist for this story, please email 2828

BOCA RATON, Fla. — The principal of Spanish River Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida, has been reassigned following 138

Beto O'Rourke raised .1 million in the first 24 hours of his presidential campaign, his campaign said Monday, in what amounts to the largest announced first-day haul of any 2020 Democratic contender to date.The former Texas congressman raised ,136,763 in online donations from all 50 states in the first day, his campaign said. That tops the .9 million one-day total Sen. Bernie Sanders announced after he launched his campaign. The closest other 2020 Democratic candidate to publicize their first-day fundraising total was California Sen. Kamala Harris at .5 million.The first-day total shows O'Rourke has the potential to recreate the record-smashing fundraising prowess he exhibited during his 2018 US Senate campaign. A more complete picture of what candidates have raised — and how much they spent, particularly on social media advertisements, to raise that money — will come in April, when reports covering the first fundraising quarter are due."In just 24 hours, Americans across this country came together to prove that it is possible to run a true grassroots campaign for president -- a campaign by all of us for all of us that answers not to the PACs, corporations, and special interests but to the people," O'Rourke said in a statement announcing the total.O'Rourke's haul came after he launched his campaign with a video and several campaign stops Thursday in Iowa.He began the campaign with big promises, telling reporters in Keokuk, Iowa, that he planned to "run the largest grassroots campaign this country has ever seen."But until now, there had been little proof of O'Rourke's ability to carry out that plan. His refusal to release first-day fundraising totals over the weekend had raised doubts that O'Rourke had met fundraising expectations around his campaign launch. He remained coy about his fundraising for days."I can't right now," he said Friday in Washington, Iowa.A reporter responded that O'Rourke could share his fundraising totals if he wanted to."You're right," he responded. "I choose not to."Still, a sign that his campaign had began with a massive fundraising haul came Saturday night when O'Rourke -- who is playing catch-up in hiring staffers as one of the last major Democratic candidates to launch -- told reporters in Dubuque, Iowa, that he would support his campaign unionizing, as Sanders had, and hoped to pay the highest wages and benefits of any presidential contender.Last year, O'Rourke shattered Senate campaign fundraising records and raised million in his bid to oust Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. His closer-than-expected loss propelled talk of a presidential bid.He did so with a pledge not to accept money from political action committees, which O'Rourke carried over to his presidential campaign. The approach is unusual -- many other Democratic presidential contenders have sworn off money from corporate PACs, but accept money from those friendlier to Democratic interests, like labor unions. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has also sworn off all PAC money.O'Rourke emphasized that pledge in a first-day fundraising email."Our campaign will be funded by We the People — that is how we'll be able to reach and listen to voters in all 50 states. No PACs. No corporations. No lobbyists or special interests. It'll be ALL people," an email to supporters signed "Team Beto" said."If we have a strong showing on our first day, people will see it as a sign that this campaign is off to a good start. That will encourage even more people to join us," O'Rourke said in another fundraising email on the first day.O'Rourke has also quickly returned to a habit that made him a viral hit in Texas: He is livestreaming most events on Facebook, drawing an audience of thousands to watch him campaign in real time.O'Rourke began his campaign with a series of smaller events in coffee shops across eastern Iowa, and then in Wisconsin. A small group is operating in El Paso, where he is headquartering his campaign. O'Rourke has not yet hired a campaign manager, though he is in talks with veteran Democratic strategist Jen O'Malley Dillon, who was former President Barack Obama's deputy campaign manager in 2012 and would be seen as a major coup, a source familiar with their discussions said. 4242

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA's next Mars rover finally has a name: Perseverance. The six-wheeled robotic e

As nearly 450 Pier 1 locations are set to close in the coming year, the company announced it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Of the 450 locations set to close, 400 of them have either recently closed or started liquidating stock. In addition to the store closings, the company will shutter two distribution centers. The moves come during a rough time for brick and mortar retailers, as malls and shopping centers throughout the United States become more barren. Pier 1 said it is also in the process of securing a buyer for the company over the next six weeks. “In recent months, we have taken significant steps forward in our business transformation and cost-reduction initiatives," CEO Robert Riesbeck said. "We have worked to establish an appropriately sized and profitable store footprint, operating structure and merchandise assortment that will enable Pier 1 to better serve our customers across store and online channels. "Today’s actions are intended to provide Pier 1 with additional time and financial flexibility as we now work to unlock additional value for our stakeholders through a sale of the Company. We are moving ahead in this process with the support of our lenders and are pleased with the initial interest as we engage in discussions with potential buyers.” 1296
