In the United States Hispanic/Latino patients with end-stage renal disease are disproportionately less likely to get a kidney transplant on the government’s organ transplant list, and specifically, a living donor kidney transplant (LDKT); fewer Hispanics received a LDKT than non-Hispanic whites 4% versus 10%. compared to non-Hispanic whites.

Stephen “tWitch” Boss died by suicide this week.
On Thursday, “Extra’s” Billy Bush spoke to one of his teachers, Dr. Tommie Tonea Stewart, an actor and former dean of the Department of Theatre Arts at Alabama State University.
Earlier this year, tWitch and Dr. Stewart had an emotional reunion on “Today.”
After news broke about his death, Dr. Stewart admitted, “It’s a strangeness; it’s a heavy feeling on the insides. I feel like I am just trembling, but I can’t feel any more detriment than his mother, Connie.”
Dr. Stewart described Connie as a “beautiful person,” saying, “I hate for her to suffer through this.”
When Billy brought up the idea that people might not have really known tWitch, Dr. Stewart stressed, “But you did know. What you saw of tWitch was who he really was and who he is to me… Stephen Boss was always pleasant, always smiling, always ready to help and inspire other people. He is a person of love, a very giving person. He will be greatly, greatly missed.”
She added, “Many of the young people who were in the summer camp with him when we started years ago, they called and they said they want to plan a memorial in his honor in Montgomery. I told them to get started.”
Dr. Stewart saw “no” signs of “personality problems” from tWitch. She elaborated, “Even when they announced the ending of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show,’ he called and he said, ‘What do you think of that?’ I said, ‘You know what? When one door closes, another one opens.’ He said, ‘You are right.’ Then he called back to tell me he was going to be a producer on the show. I said, ‘You see that? See.’”
“I never had any inkling that there was anything that would cause him to take his life,” Dr. Stewart stressed. “This man loved his family. He loved his wife… and his mother.”
While tWitch has credited Dr. Stewart with having a major impact on his career, she pointed out that he gave her “validation” that she was doing the right thing.
She went on, “He gave me the reassurance that when I looked at students, talked to students, attempted to encourage them, that I was being the vessel that God meant for me to be because so many would say that their day job is getting in the way, you need to pursue your acting career… Being that vessel, tWitch reassured me… When they call and I give them my point of view, they always made me feel like they had a sense of relief because they called, and tWitch always, always made me feel like whatever I said to him that day helped.”
Getting emotional, Dr. Stewart emphasized, “I’ve searched my phone to try to see, had he called in the last week. I couldn’t find evidence that he called. I would really be horrified to think I missed that call… I really believe that something that is really, really wrong that I had no understanding of and I doubt his mother or his wife had an understanding of it either. I can’t even see or trust that he committed suicide.”
Dr. Stewart also had a message, saying, “I want to thank all of his fans, and his extended family, his schoolmates, and partners in the work and the partners at the network, and thank Ellen DeGeneres… He was so comfortable in knowing that she loved him so much.”

Statewide helmet program expands
RideNow Powersports leads the charge with Arizona Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Foundation
December 13, 2022, Peoria, Arizona – RideNow Powersports has taken a leadership role in promoting the value of high-quality DOT helmets alongside Arizona’s leading voice on distracted driving and motorcycle training, Arizona Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Foundation (AMSAF). Head and body protection are soaring in popularity in Arizona, as riders find great new opportunities to save money on quality helmets and riding gear to protect themselves on busy roadways statewide. Now, the program is spreading to many demographics throughout Arizona.
RideNow, which has been working closely with AMSAF for several years, serves as a partnership to reduce distracted driving and increase safety for riders through the statewide helmet program.
AMSAF started a financial assistance helmet program to help individuals get into quality DOT full face or modular helmets. RideNow led the effort as the pilot dealership. Today, six dealerships have jumped onboard with 1489 helmets provided to date through the program, all focused on getting excellent helmets to customers.
“We are seeing a new trend,” says RideNow Powersports Marketing Director Mike Pfab. “Families are coming in to purchase helmets for their members because safety supersedes everything when it comes to riding motorcycles and driving powersports vehicles.”
RideNow teams closely with AMSAF to offer discounts on high quality helmets, as well as the purchase of other critical riding gear, including gloves, clothing, boots and other protective gear.
“RideNow is the leading local retailer for motorcycling must-haves,“ adds Pfab. “Our mission is to serve the rider, fuel the industry and inspire the community, so we sell gear at for every budget to ensure the safety of our customers. We partner with non-profits like AMSAF that promote, educate, and influence safety practices and policies.”
The helmet program is geared to help individuals garner a DOT helmet with financial assistance from AMSAF and a 25% discount off MSRP from specified dealers. The program affords people the opportunity to purchase a quality full-face or modular DOT helmet at a reduced cost.
“The applicant fills out an application and donate $50 to AMSAF, which is tax-deductible,’ says Mick Degn, AMSAF executive director. “If AMSAF has funds available, applicants will receive a receipt with a promo code and instructions that they can take to one of a number of specified qualified helmet dealers.”
The letter will extend a credit for $125 off a DOT full face or modular helmet. In addition, the dealership will give an additional 25% off MSRP select helmets. The promo code is only good for one full-face or modular DOT helmet defined in program.
Arizona is a state where riders have a choice whether to wear a helmet or not. AMSAF wants to assist those who choose to wear a helmet to financially be able to afford one. This program is possible due to grants from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, which wants to help reduce crashes and fatalities in Arizona. The helmet program is open to all Arizona residents 15 years, six months old or older. Funds for this program come from donations, sponsorship, and grants.
AMSAF’s mission is to promote motorcycle safety and reduce driver distraction to help reduce crashes and fatalities in Arizona. AMSAF can be reached at www.amsaf.org/helmets or by calling 888.951.3732.

Emerging Hip Hop Lyricist Tay Toe Presents New Single “Meet Again” and album “Habits and Setbacks” – Available Now
Salt Lake City based and Los Angeles bred hip hop artist TAY TOE presents the new single “Meet Again”, from his album “Habits and Setbacks” – available now on all the major music services.
LISTEN TO HABITS AND SETBACKS ON SPOTIFY
Inspired by versatile, intelligent rappers like Mac Miller, hip hop upstart Tay Toe is one to watch. Like many young Americans, Tay Toe spent his teenage years living with anxiety and depression. He began writing music as therapy, but actually performing it live was a big step for him. However, once in his element, it’s plain to see Tay Toe was born for the stage.
“There’s something special about connecting with a random person because of a song you created.”
Starting out as just a fifteen year old kid with a laptop, a microphone, and a dream, Tay Toe has been making a deep impact on the hip hop landscape for the past decade with clever lyrics and block rockin beats. With “Habits and Setbacks” it’s clear he’s ready to break through to mainstream notoriety.
“I only write when I’m inspired because I want my music to be meaningful”
You can catch Tay Toe live all around Salt Lake City, Utah and the surrounding states with plans for a west coast excursion in 2023.

Jeff Lake released his debut EP, “Field of Grass” on August 20, 2021. Since then he has amassed over 200k streams on Spotify, and over 275k views on YouTube with his bluegrass cover of Janis Ian’s “Better Times Will Come” leading the way with 120k views. His new album, “Seven Days” is scheduled for release early next year.
So what do you do in the meantime? If you’re Jeff Lake, what else? You write a new Christmas show! “The Christmas Chronicles” featuring Jeff Lake & Cellophane Flowers will be debuting with back to back performances at The Belfry Music Theater in Delavan, WI on Wednesday, 11/30, and Thursday, 12/1, with additional shows to follow on Sunday, 12/4, at The Gracie Theatre in Bangor, ME, Saturday, 12/10 at The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia, PA, and Saturday, 12/17 at the Kings Point Theatre in Delray, FL.
“The Christmas Chronicles” reveals the true meaning of Christmas in a series of visually-stunning, intertwined, seasonal vignettes. Tales of love and magic around the globe and through the ages are told through the words of Martin Luther King, Jr, Emily Dickinson, Chief Seattle, Henry V, interpretive dance, and the music of Peter Lynch Tchaikovsky, Ludwig van Beethoven, Lennon/ McCartney, George Harrison, as well as original music by Jeff Lake.
The first release from the show soundtrack, “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” is now available on Spotify and all the major services.
The release is the first by Jeff Lake & Cellophane Flowers since the 2020 album release “Penny Lane” which is available on CD and digital outlets worldwide. Lake does not stray far from the Lennon/Ono classic; but, his voice does soar on the higher vocal lines sung by Yoko Ono on the choruses of the original version. This plus a simple score for guitar and string trio make this holiday classic worthy of a listen.
The idea for the “The Christmas Chronicles” was conceived in 2019 while Lake was singing in church choir during Christmas Eve mass. “Pastor Sallie began speaking of the Christmas Day Truce in 1914 during World War I.” says Lake. “I’m a huge history buff and Beatles fan so I immediately connected the dots to John & Yoko’s song. In that moment, ‘The Christmas Chronicles’ were born”.
Narrator Scout Ford (x-TSO) tells the story: “British and German troops emerged from their trenches exchanging hand shakes and small souvenirs… and in that one magical moment, the war was over!”

Insightful Lyrics and Intricate Melodies Abound on Sophomore Offering
Prolific young Singer/Songwriter/Producer Rob Eberle is proud to present his sophomore ep release, “i can’t say goodbye”, now available on Spotify and all the major music services.
Listening to the lyrics on his debut ep, “WHERE’S MY MIND?”, there is no doubt that “High School” Rob Eberle’s life had been the living proof of teenage heartbreak. Now at the ROC NATION School, his sophomore release, “i can’t say goodbye” takes a different approach. This time, Eberle focuses on writing songs that were inspired by other people’s heartbreak & hardships, telling the story through their eyes.
The five song collection is broken up into five different emotions. The feeling of anger shown through the production & lyricism of “wanting more”, the feeling of fear described through “far”, despair through “reckless”, angst through “hope u feel ok” and finally, vulnerability through “there’s not enough time?”
Rob writes all of his own music, lyrics and works with various producers to create unique moments within his songs. Each one of Eberle’s songs are stories and moments into his life and others around him.
Influences from an eclectic group of artists such as FINNEAS & Billie Eilish all the way to Madison Beer, Olivia Rodrigo and Panic! At the Disco have helped to create Eberle’s genre bending darker-alternative to traditional Pop Rock.
