CRANFORD, N.J. (AP) — The voice is familiar to the millions who ride New York City's subways, its deep and resonant tone ringing through tunnels and across the tracks. For more than a decade, Bernie Wagenblast, 66, has lent that voice to automated announcements alerting passengers to train arrivals and politely directing people to “please stand away from the platform edge.” Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! For decades, Wagenblast’s voice—low, authoritative and benign all at once—has provided a career and livelihood. But earlier this year, Wagenblast, went on the radio to publicly reveal a different voice—higher pitched and softer spoken—that is more reflective of the transition from the man she was to the transgender woman she was always meant to be.Commuters wait on a platform as the L subway train arrives in a station, Aug. 16, 2018, in New York.

Expert advice Kevin Costner ignored before telling kids about divorce in 10-minute Zoom call

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:16:20 GMT

Parenting experts may debate whether Kevin Costner’s estranged wife Christine Baumgartner really needs $250,000 a month in child support to keep their three teenagers “in their accustomed lifestyle.”But judging from parenting advice that numerous experts make available online, they probably would agree that Baumgartner has a point in saying that the “Yellowstone” star didn’t act in their children’s best interest when he took it upon himself to break the news on his own that he and their mother were divorcing in a brief Zoom call from his Las Vegas hotel.In a court filing obtained by People, Baumgartner, 49, said Costner, 68, told their kids Grace, 13, Hayes, 14, and Cayden, 16, about their divorce during a Zoom call that lasted about 10 minutes. He had apparently been in Las Vegas working, and Baumgartner said she wanted to wait until he returned to their home in Santa Barbara.“The children’s welfare has always been my highest priority...

Pac-12 business affairs: New CFO hired with revenue growth, financial controls in mind

The dead-of-summer appointment of a senior-level staffer by one of the Power Five conferences typically wouldn’t rise to the level of significant news. But when the conference is the Pac-12, the role is chief financial officer and the executive is Morane Kerek, our attention feels warranted.Kerek joins the conference in the midst of its existential crisis following her seven-year tenure as CFO of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee — a major role in the sports space that seemingly prepared her for the unique challenges awaiting in the Pac-12.The terms of her contract were not revealed, but we suspect the deal comes with unlimited use of a bucket and mop.The conference has been without a full-time CFO since Brent Willman was fired in January for his role in the Comcast financial scandal, which resulted in the media company overpaying the Pac-12 Networks by at least $50 million over the course of a decade even though Willman and networks president Mark Shuken were aw...
