Ashley Meadows has a tough job. As the gallery guide coordinator at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, she tries to get people to talk about modern and contemporary art.Consider the look of panic on people's faces when they're urged to express an opinion about a Jackson Pollock painting."It's hard to start a conversation with a stranger," Meadows, 33, said.But these days she has an ally in her efforts: a small humanoid robot named Pepper.The human-shaped robot stands four feet tall on one tapered leg, a shiny white body and big puppy dog-like eyes.Tucked into the curves of the Smithsonian's brutalist modern art temple, Meadows watches Pepper entertain guests. It dips at the waist, plays music and offers to take selfies -- the most popular of Pepper's tricks.This particular Pepper is one of a 25 strong army of robots at The Hirshhorn Museum and three other Smithsonians in the city, including The African Museum of Art, the African American Museum of History and Culture and the Smithsonian Castle.The robots made their debut this week.Pepper was donated by its manufacturer, the Japanese company Softbank Robotics.Pepper, first unveiled in 2014 in Japan, can be programmed for different use cases, whether it's at restaurant chain Pizza Hut, airports or now museums.But Pepper has limited functionality. It won't go off script but can tell guests a story, give them more information about a piece of art or "do something fun," like play music and dance with guests.Rachel Goslins, Smithsonian's director for the Arts and Industries Building, hopes Pepper's presence will encourage people to be more engaged as they walk through the galleries."I'm the mother of the robots," Goslins said.She decides which museums they're stationed at and and what they do. They're typically positioned in spots where she hopes for increased traffic or for people to linger longer."They're attracted to the robots like a magnet," Golsins said of its success so far.Pepper has already doubled foot traffic to a frequently missed section of the Museum of African American History and Culture -- the second floor educational gallery.But Pepper isn't perfect. Some visitors complained the robot couldn't speak or understand any language besides English. Others repeatedly asked Pepper questions it couldn't answer.Each Pepper robot has bodyguards to make sure the system is properly functioning, its software is updated to protect against hacking and that people don't harm the machines themselves.After entertaining visitors for most of the morning, Meadows powered down Pepper for a rest. The robot's eyes went dark and its white form slumped over like a puppet released from its strings."Say bye, Pepper!" said Meadows, wheeling the robot off the floor. 2758

As the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies prepare to return to play following a week hiatus, the St. Louis Cardinals will be forced to sit out for another few days.On Monday, MLB announced it has postponed this week's three-game series between St. Louis and Detroit following a number of Cardinals players testing positive for the coronavirus late last week. The Cardinals' COVID-19 outbreak was the second COVID-19 rash MLB has encountered since resuming the season 11 days ago.According to MLB, 13 members of the Cardinals, including players and staff, have tested positive for the virus. The team has been holed up in Milwaukee since Thursday and remains quarantined there. The team is slated to resume play on Friday in St. Louis against the Cubs.The start of the coronavirus-shortened MLB season has been bumpy as several prominent players have opted to walk away from the season. Most notably, Mets star slugger Yoenis Cespedes said Sunday he would no longer participate in the 2020 season over coronavirus concerns.Earlier in the weekend, Red Sox ace Eduardo Rodriguez declined to return to baseball after facing complications from the coronavirus. Rodriguez told MassLive that he discovered a heart condition following his bout with the virus. 1264

Attorneys for Maria Butina and the Justice Department gave more signs Thursday morning they are negotiating a plea deal for the accused Russian spy.In a conference call with a federal judge in Washington, the attorneys said another upcoming hearing in the case should be canceled and that subpoenas planned for American University, where Butina was a graduate student, may be withdrawn by the end of this week.Both prosecutors and defense attorneys have previously indicated they were negotiating to end Butina's case.Butina was charged this summer for illegally acting as a foreign agent for Russia and accused of trying to create a back channel for Russia through activist groups, including the National Rifle Association.She is currently being held in solitary confinement at a Northern Virginia jail, her attorneys have said. So far, she has maintained her innocence, saying she was never a foreign agent and simply a foreign student studying in America.If Butina were to change her plea in the case from not guilty to guilty, she would likely return to Russia.Prosecutors previously told a court she was in touch with Russian backers and agents as she ingratiated herself with politically powerful Americans.The-CNN-Wire 1233

AURORA, Colo. -- An undercover investigation by Scripps station KMGH in Denver has revealed another unlicensed person practicing health care in defiance of multiple state cease and desist orders handed down by regulators. A February KMGH?revealed 28 people had received such cease and desist orders from state regulators, but the state did little to ensure they actually stopped, and most never faced criminal charges. One of those people was Alfredo Ruiz, also known as Alfredo Ruiz Rueda, who received cease and desist orders from the Colorado Medical Board in 2013 and again in 2017. A search of the state’s professional license database shows Ruiz does not hold any kind of license in Colorado. In the orders, the board said Ruiz used laser equipment only appropriate for licensed medical professionals, and ordered him to stop providing skin injections.State records show Ruiz previously operated clinics called CI Laser Clinic and Central Integral de Belleza y Salud in the Denver area.It appeared Ruiz closed his clinics after receiving each order, but KMGH recently called the number posted online for those clinics and discovered Ruiz had reopened his business at another location.A producer left a message and received a phone call back in Spanish and a text with the clinic’s new address. The producer made an appointment for a Botox treatment.  Outside of the clinic’s door, a sign is posted listing various skin care services, injections and laser treatments in Spanish along with Ruiz’s name. Two KMGH producers brought hidden cameras into the office to speak to Ruiz about Botox.  When asked if he was a doctor, Ruiz responded affirmatively multiple times. He said he had 12 years experience and estimated he sees 10 patients per day. He showed the producers needles he would use to administer Botox, and he estimated one 28-year-old producer would likely need extra treatment costing between 5-0. When confronted after the appointment by KMGH reporter Ryan Luby, Ruiz claimed he was a doctor in Mexico. He also pointed out the certificates -- not state licenses -- on his wall indicating he had completed laser training. Ruiz indicated he works under the supervision of two licensed doctors whose names were posted on the sign outside of his clinic. Neither doctor was present in the office. When KMGH reached one of the doctors by phone, he said he had not worked with Ruiz in years and was surprised to learn his name was posted at the office. The other doctor could not be reached.When KMGH returned to the office days after the initial confrontation, the sign bearing the names of the other two doctors had been removed from the door, but the sign with Ruiz’s name and the services he offers remained. State rules allow some unlicensed individuals to provide medical-aesthetic treatmentThe state does allow for some “medical-aesthetic services” including laser treatment and injections to be administered by unlicensed individuals under the close supervision of a licensed physician.The medical board’s rules for such agreements requires documentation of the arrangement be “available to the public at the site where the delegated medical services are performed.” Ruiz did not produce any such documentation nor was it readily visible in his office.The board’s rules also require that patients are fully informed of such arrangements and sign forms affirming they have been made aware they are receiving care from an unlicensed person. “When the delegating physician is not actively involved in the patient encounter, the disclosure shall include: the service the patient is receiving is a medical service; the delegatee of the service is not licensed by the state of Colorado or is acting beyond the scope of his or her Colorado license, certification or registration; the delegatee is providing the service pursuant to the delegated authority of a physician; and, the delegating physician is available personally to consult with them or provide appropriate evaluation or treatment in relation to the delegated medical services,” the rules say in part.KMGH’s undercover producers received no such information during their discussion with Ruiz about Botox treatments.   State regulators, police take actionThe Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) acted quickly upon learning from KMGH that Ruiz was still practicing. The state’s medical board convened an emergency meeting and the state obtained a temporary restraining order against Ruiz. The state also referred the case to law enforcement for potential criminal charges for the second time.In 2017, DORA alerted the Denver district attorney about Ruiz but the DA’s office did not pursue an investigation because his previous office was already closed.Aurora police are now investigating Ruiz’s latest clinic, which police say is now vacant. Attorney General subpoenas KMGH again The office of Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman sent subpoenas to KMGH seeking its video and a producer’s testimony to present as evidence in court as it seeks a permanent injunction against Ruiz. That marked the second time the state has subpoenaed KMGH’s investigative materials as evidence in court to seek court orders against unlicensed individuals.Last month, a KMGH producer testified in court in response to a subpoena in injunctive proceedings against Randy Flynt, who claimed to be a clinical psychologist and kept his office open more than a year after the state issued three cease and desist orders against him. In that case, the attorney general’s office played a portion of KMGH’s undercover video in court and the judge granted the temporary injunction. Pueblo police have also issued a warrant for Flynt’s arrest.In the Ruiz case, an injunction hearing is set for April 23. DORA is making changes DORA said it is making numerous improvements to its process for handling unlicensed individuals in the wake of KMGH’s investigation – changes first ordered by Governor John Hickenlooper in the days after the initial stories aired.The changes include: 6166
