Ben Arden Ben Arden, former special counsel in the Federal Communications Commission’s Media Bureau and once a legal adviser to Brendan Carr, has joined the National Association of Broadcasters as senior vice president and deputy general counsel. Arden will lead NAB’s policy and legal advocacy before the commission, the association said, advocating broadcasters’ priorities on such issues as media ownership, competition policy and the evolving media marketplace. He’ll report to Rick Kaplan, NAB’s chief legal officer and executive VP of legal and regulatory affairs. “Ben brings an exceptional depth of experience in communications law and policy, along with a proven ability to navigate complex regulatory challenges,” NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt said. As Media Bureau special counsel, Arden advised Carr’s office and FCC senior leaders on a range of issues, including media ownership, transaction reviews, foreign ownership, retransmission consent and emerging technologies, NAB said. Arden was with the FCC for 15 years and held multiple leadership roles. Prior to the Media Bureau post, he served as chief of staff and legal adviser to then-Commissioner Carr. Before the FCC, Arden was an associate attorney at law firm Williams Mullen, representing communications clients before Congress, the FCC and other federal agencies. He earned his law degree from Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and political science from Arizona State University.

High-dose vitamin D supplements could help reduce diabetes risk among certain groups, according to new research from Tufts University.In a large clinical trial, researchers performed genetic testing of more than 2,000 U.S. adults with prediabetes after they received 4,000 units per day of vitamin D supplements, then compared them to a placebo group.An earlier study showed no significant reduction in diabetes risk in the group receiving vitamin D supplementation, but when the researchers looked closer, they found a benefit for certain genetic groups.For the new study, the Tufts researchers compared participants who appeared to benefit from vitamin D supplementation to those who did not, then examined how outcomes differed across three common variants of the vitamin D receptor gene.DEMENTIA RISK COULD DIP WITH COMMON VACCINE, STUDY SUGGESTSPeople who had certain versions of a vitamin D-related gene (called AC or CC) were 19% less likely to get diabetes when they took vitamin D compared to people who took a placebo, according to a university press release.Participants with another genetic variant (AA) showed no benefit from supplementation.Vitamin D seems to work by attaching to a specific "receiver" in the body called the vitamin D receptor, the researchers discovered. These receptors are found in many places, including the pancreas, the organ that makes insulin.The findings were published last week in JAMA Network Open.DIABETES PREVENTION LINKED TO SPECIFIC TYPE OF EXERCISE, STUDY SHOWS"Our finding is an example of the emerging science of precision nutrition or precision medicine, in which an intervention can be tailored to the needs of individuals according to their genetic makeup and disease risk," Bess Dawson-Hughes, the study’s lead author and a senior scientist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, told Fox News Digital."Taking a vitamin D supplement daily is an easy, inexpensive and generally safe approach to reducing diabetes risk," she added. "In principle, this could involve a single, relatively inexpensive genetic test."There were some limitations to the study, the researchers noted, including that this was a secondary analysis rather than a primary randomized comparison."Like any other first observation, this finding needs to be replicated in a future study," the researcher said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIESThe study only included individuals with prediabetes, which could limit relevance to broader populations. The results seen in specific genetic groups need to be confirmed in more studies before doctors can use them in patient care.The authors… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Inside Wealth: Markets are underpricing the risk of Middle East pullback in AI, ...

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Thursday that Israel may soon resume military action against Iran, signaling that despite what he described as devastating setbacks to Tehran, Israel views the broader campaign as potentially unfinished.Speaking at a ceremony promoting the incoming Israeli Air Force commander, Katz said Iran had been pushed "years backward" in the past year but suggested Israel may soon need to act again to secure long-term strategic goals."Iran has suffered extremely severe blows over the past year, blows that set it back years in every field," Katz said.Still, Katz’s sharpest warning suggested that despite the current ceasefire, Israeli leaders do not see the confrontation with Iran as resolved. ISRAELI OFFICIALS REPORTEDLY WARN IRAN'S BALLISTIC MISSILES COULD TRIGGER SOLO MILITARY ACTION AGAINST TEHRANInstead, his remarks mirror President Donald Trump’s insistence that pressure on Iran will continue until its capacity to rebuild is curtailed. "The blockade stays until there’s a real deal," Trump said Thursday, according to Axios, signaling that Washington intends to maintain pressure until Iran addresses U.S. demands over its nuclear program and broader security concerns."We support this effort and provide the necessary backing, but it is possible that soon we will be required to act again to ensure the achievement of those goals," he said.The warning came as Israel’s Defense Ministry announced a dramatic military resupply surge, with two cargo ships docking in Ashdod and Haifa and multiple transport aircraft arriving within 24 hours, carrying roughly 6,500 tons of military equipment, including thousands of air and ground munitions, military trucks and combat vehicles.Since the start of Operation Roaring Lion military campaign against Iran, Israel says more than 115,600 tons of military equipment have arrived through 403 flights and 10 maritime shipments, underscoring what Israeli officials describe as preparations for sustained or expanded conflict. IRAN’S NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES CRUSHED, BUT REGIME’S DESIRE FOR THE BOMB MAY PERSISTMaj. Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror, former Israeli national security advisor, told Fox News Digital that Washington and Jerusalem are now seriously preparing for two possible paths: a prolonged blockade designed to economically exhaust Iran, or renewed military action."Israel and the United States are seriously preparing for two real options, and the decision, when it comes, could be made very quickly," Amidror said. "One is to continue the siege, a blockade that can slowly exhaust Iran. The other is war."Amidror, who is currently a distinguished fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, said… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Elon Musk’s A.I.
