Bishop Votes AGAIN to Uphold 2nd Amendment
WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives voted on HR 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019. Rep. Rob Bishop (UT-01) voted against the bill and issued the statement below following his vote:
“This legislation is a fundamental dismissal of the 2nd Amendment. The removal of this protective provision opens the door to arbitrary bureaucratic delays which can do nothing but restrict a basic American right.”
On February 27, 2019, the House of Representatives voted on HR 8. Rep. Rob Bishop (UT-01) voted against the legislation and issued the statement below:
“This bill addresses a fabricated threat and makes criminals out of the innocent. This equates to nothing more than a false sense of security promoted by those who refuse to address real threats to safety. Congress should turn its attention to finding ways to protect society from criminals. Instead, this farcical effort betrays the 2nd Amendment and would have done nothing to prevent the tragic mass shootings of recent years. Safety ought to trump politics and politics ought never trump the Constitution

"Deeply Personal Album" - Billboard
"All of it comes together for an amazing story,
one that is incredibly personal"- Substream Magazine
February 28, 2019 - Kalamazoo, Michigan - Reverie, the debut album from experimental and creative post-hardcore project brought to life by Andrew Brittingham is available everywhere today. With thrashing anthems and melodic breakdowns, Reverie is a concept album that takes listeners on a true journey while they follow a boy named Tsukuyo through his battle with the evil that has consumed his past, present and his future. Fans can stream the album on Spotify or purchase the album and exclusive bundles at https://www.boybecomeshero.com/.
"I've never done anything this deep before,"Brittingham told Billboard in an exclusive interview earlier this week. Mixed and mastered by Kris Crummett (Dance Gavin Dance, Sleeping With Sirens, Issues), this album features vocal performances by Kurt Travis (Royal Coda, ex-Dance Gavin Dance), Garret Rapp (The Color Morale), Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost), Darina Kaytukova (Moqumentary) and Sam Kohl (ex-Sea in the Sky).
Reverie Track listing

After battling addiction for 10+ years, Andrew became sober in early 2017. He had always struggled to find his place in the music world after bouncing around bands and finally had the clarity and inspiration to create the concept album he'd been dreaming of. To further this message, Brittingham worked with To Write Love on Her Arms to create the "Gravity Initiative" t-shirt. 100% of proceeds from the shirt and bundles as well as 10% of all additional album sales will be donated to TWLoHA to help further their mission.

New Intermountain Transformation Center
Healthcare leaders named Intermountain one of the top providers in the nation for innovation, high-quality care at sustainable costs, and thought leadership
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, February 27, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Healthcare leaders from across the country have named Intermountain Healthcare one of the top providers in the nation for innovation, high-quality care at a sustainable cost, and thought leadership.
A recent nationwide survey conducted by Reaction Data, a national healthcare research organization, asked 341 healthcare leaders to name the best health systems for innovation, quality care at sustainable costs, and thought leadership.
Intermountain Healthcare received the fourth-most mentions across all categories, following the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente. Geisinger Health came in at number five. When the findings were adjusted to account for regional bias, Intermountain rose to number three overall.
Intermountain also received the fourth-most mentions for thought leadership and the third-most for quality of care and innovation.
“Intermountain Healthcare has a long-standing tradition of innovation guided by our mission to help people live the healthiest lives possible,” said Marc Harrison, MD, Intermountain president and CEO, and attributed the recognition to the ingenuity of Intermountain’s caregivers. “I’m honored to work with the best healthcare professionals who are taking bold and creative approaches to making care accessible for all people at the highest-possible quality and lowest-possible cost.”
Recent innovations at Intermountain that have gained national attention include the expansion of telehealth services such as Connect Care, a 24/7 online service that allows patients to receive care from Intermountain caregivers using interactive technology on their smartphones, tablets, and computers.
The Intermountain-led Civica Rx — a not-for-profit generic drug manufacturer and distributor — has also garnered praise for its innovative plans to make generic medications more available and affordable in hospitals across the nation. Also, changes in Intermountain’s supply chain have also saved tens of millions of dollars on medical supplies.
At the same time, Intermountain is committed to provide charitable care to people who can’t afford to pay for the services they need. Last year, the system provided more than $225.3 million worth of care for 236,446 patients — which averages more than $61,000 in free care provided every day to 647 patients.
The survey showed Intermountain's reputation for thought leadership is growing outside of the Intermountain West. For example, Intermountain received the fourth-most mentions for thought leadership, but only 11 percent of responses came from respondents in the western United States. By contrast, the Mayo Clinic received the most mentions for thought leadership, but 35 percent of responses came from health system leaders living inside their service areas.

Intermountain Healthcare is a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 23 hospitals, 170 clinics, a Medical Group with some 2,300 employed physicians and advanced care practitioners, a health insurance company called SelectHealth, and other health services. Intermountain is widely recognized as a leader in transforming healthcare through evidence-based best practices, high quality, and sustainable costs.

The upcoming tour is in celebration of the band's third studio album, Living Proof. Released last Summer via Pure Noise Records, the 13-track collection is the most ambitious and cohesive work in the band's catalog. While securing the #9 Top Current Albums, #28 Top 200 and #3 Rock Billboard charting positions, this album has seen impressive praise from fans and press alike.
While creating Living Proof, State Champs went back to their roots, writing and recording in garages while also collaborating with Mike Green and Kyle Black as they did for Around The World And Back. They didn't shy away from new experiences either, working with legendary producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, Good Charlotte) for the first time while additional contributions came in the form of writing sessions with Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) and Mark Hoppus (Blink-182). On an album full of go-for-broke moments, State Champs pushed themselves to new heights without ever forgetting where they came from.
Living Proof is a record about coming out the other side those experiences, both triumphant and humbled. That growth is palpable, as State Champs made a record that's like nothing they've done before, but is still an album that only they could ever make. Fans can stream and purchase Living Proof at http://www.statechampsny.com/.
State Champs is Derek DiScanio (Vocals), Tyler Szalkowski (Guitar), Ryan Scott Graham (Bass), Evan Ambrosio (Drums) and Tony "Rival" Diaz (Guitar).
