Headline and renderingWisconsin state Journal, 11/11/2025

Sabine Martin reports:
UW Health is expanding its existing Digestive Health Center on Madison’s West Side to build a four-story medical center offering patients urgent and primary care. 
The construction of the estimated $122 million University Row Medical Center, at 750 University Row, marks a step toward UW Health’s plan to vacate its aging 20 S. Park St. clinic. The new clinic will offer adult and pediatric primary care, rehabilitation, urgent care, imaging and laboratory services and a pharmacy. 
Construction is slated to finish up at the end of 2027, and the first patients are expected to have appointments at the beginning of 2028.

USA box office for the 17th weekend 2017-2026


USA box office on the 17th weekend of 2026 is up 2% compared to last year when Sinners was the top-grossing movie.  Michael is the top-grossing movie this weekend.

But it's down 63% compared 2019, when Avengers: Endgame ruled the box office.
 
“Michael,” a biopic from Lionsgate about the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, arrived in theaters as an instant sensation with $97 million domestically and $217 million globally in its first weekend of release. These ticket sales rank as the best start of all time for a biopic, smashing the record set by 2015’s “Straight Outta Compton” ($60 million). And they tower above 2018’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which opened to $51 million before obliterating expectations with $910 million worldwide by the end of its run. “Michael” also notched the second-biggest debut of the year behind April’s sequel “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” ($131 million).

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Sexual assault of a minor in the Name of the Lord (#305 in a series)


Headline:  KRON, 4/24/2026

Amy Larson reports:
On Friday, a Contra Costa County judge sentenced a former Richmond pastor to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole for sexually assaulting an underage girl who he met through his church. 
Ex-pastor Emilio Alberto Esperanza-Pacheco was found guilty following a jury trial in February of aggravated sexual assault of a child, as well as forcible lewd acts upon a child, prosecutors said. 
Esperanza-Pacheco’s crimes happened between June-October of 2023 while he was working as a pastor at God’s Lighthouse of Truth Church, prosecutors said. 
“The victim and her family were members and had developed a friendship with him. Esperanza-Pacheco exploited his position within the church and his relationship with the family to prevent the victim from disclosing the abuse,” the district attorney’s office wrote.

 
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."  (1 John 1:9)
