Larry graduated from Reed High School in 1979. He joined the US Army in 1981 and served in counterintelligence at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, Hanau, West Germany, and Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Moen continued his military service over the next 32 years in both the Nevada Army National Guard and the Nevada Air National Guard unit, achieving the rank of master sergeant.

After Larry's discharge from active duty in 1985, he began a career in law enforcement. Larry started his career at Nevada State Prison in Carson City in the maximum security unit as a guard. Larry left prison guard duty to work as a Deputy Sheriff for Washoe County. Larry departed the Sheriff's

Larry was a do-it-yourself guy. Larry had as many tools as Tim "The Toolman'' Taylor. Larry liked to work on his cars and those of his kids. He enjoyed home improvement projects and liked picking up new skills. Larry was not only quick to help friends and family, but also strangers. Larry knew all of his neighbors and was quick to lend a hand or even one of his tools to his neighbors. Larry was fondly known as Opa to his six grandchildren. Larry invested in their lives helping them with their school work, driving them to various activities and working with them on their game. Larry enjoyed cooking and barbecuing for his family and friends.

Larry and his wife Stephanie loved to travel. Their trips included visiting five different continents. They also enjoyed taking to the open road in their RV, often taking the grandkids along.

Larry was preceded in death by his mother, Liz and is survived by his wife of 33 years, Stephanie; daughter Courtney (Victor); son Paul (Lesley); his father Ron; his brother Ken (Denise); sisters Eva and Patty (Dave); and grandchildren Austin, Kody, Baylee, Cameron, Grant, and Charlotte.

Paul Wight is older and wiser.

While The Big Show, Paul Wight, is considered to be one of the more legendary giant wrestlers in the history of the industry, at the start of his career, he was involved in a lot of campy angles in WCW. As part of the Dungeon of Doom, Paul, then known as Giant, took part in a Monster Truck Match against Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc 1995 and that segment would end with him being pushed off of Cobo Hall and supposedly onto the concrete.

Bron Breakker Says Rick Steiner Is Retired, Won't Return For Potential Tag Match

The night would end with him and The Yeti, Ron Reese, giving Hulk Hogan a very suggestive double bear hug.

Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri for ET Canada, Paul Wight reflected on getting shoved off the roof by Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc 1995.

I definitely wouldnt even consider doing that now at my age with my wisdom, Wight told ET Canada. Like, No. Why are we doing that? But at 22, 23-years-old, Im like, Yeah, whatever you want to do. Push me off a building? Awesome. You know, because youre just so excited.

The thing was for me to fall off the building," he continued. "It was about four stories into a big airbag. Im not a stunt man. Ive never done anything like that, you know? Youre young and you think youre bulletproof Just being young and being funny, when I went over and Hulks looking over the top at me, I was flipping him a bird on the way down Its a wonder he didnt bust out laughing when I did it.

During his younger years, Paul Wight was also eager to bust help moves like moonsaults. Learn about the one time he actually tried to pull that off at this link.

On a busy weekend in the summer in Point Pleasant Beach, there could be crowds of 50,000 to 60,000 people visiting this northern Ocean County borough, Mayor Kanitra previously told Townsquare Media News.

There's exceptional beaches and Jenkinson's Boardwalk and Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach as well as many other summer parks and venues making this a family-friendly destination.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks at a news conference following a Federal Open Market Committee meeting on May 04, 2022 in Washington, DC. Powell announced the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates by a half-percentage point to combat record high inflation.

Volcker or Vulcan?

Whom should the Fed emulate today?

With a consistent chorus of economists, ex-policymakers and businesspeople calling on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to crush inflation now, they are panicking as if today's inflation is the exact twin of what plagued the U.S. economy some 40-plus years ago.

The comparison is, in the words of a well-known Vulcan, illogical.

Powell nearly admitted as much on Wednesday when he said some of the inflation currently being generated, at home and abroad, is well beyond the Fed's control.

I have argued that almost all of it is and that aggressively tightening credit conditions, by both raising interest rates and launching Quantitative Tightening (QT), the Fed is overreacting to the long-term risk posed by short-term effects.

I've also argued that today's inflation is much more like a post-war phenomenon than a series of adverse shocks that hit the economy from the late 1960s until the early 1980s.

At that juncture, then-Fed Chairman Paul Volcker enacted record-setting rate hikes that drove short rates above 20% and long rates above 14%. That was a logical response to the better than decade long build-up of inflationary pressures that was a multi-factor phenomenon.

In my Volcker vs. Vulcan scenario, a more sober assessment of today's inflation would attempt to measure risk versus reward and causation versus coincidence.

The enduring nature of the pandemic, now largely affecting China's economy and further disrupting global supply chains far beyond what was once a reasonably expected, is at the very root of the elevated prices we see today. This is a domestic Chinese policy issue first and a global economic and foreign policy question second.

In addition, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has unexpectedly, and massively, reduced the output of energy and food supplies globally, leading to yet another supply shock resulting in higher prices abroad and here at home.

That won't end until this war is over and it won't be solved by any central bank.

It's been noted, of late, that American grocery bills are going up for meat and poultry as well.

It's not just higher feed prices, or a lack of fertilizer, pushing up the prices of meat and vegetables an outbreak of bird flu is reducing the supply of chickens, making even the most affordable of meat substitutes less costly than it was only a few months ago.

And as for wage inflation, by the Fed's own admission the cost of labor is rising only in part because of increased demand for consumer goods and services.

Chair Powell noted that there are currently 11.5 million open jobs in the U.S., nearly double the number of unemployed workers another shortage due, at least in part, to pandemic-related issues.

Against that backdrop, it now appears the Fed is, however, hell-bent on pushing the economy to the brink of recession and pushing the unemployment rate up to relieve inflationary pressures that, to me, remain transient, in the broadest of terms.

And I don't mean that those pressures will abate in a matter of months, but as in prior post-war periods, inflation falls as supply returns, even against a backdrop of rising demand.

It is entirely illogical to believe that aggressive tightening will shorten the lockdowns in China, end the war in Ukraine, produce over four million American workers out of thin air, or even cure our chickens before they hatch.

I don't know of anyone, outside of St. Louis Fed President James Bullard who seriously believed the Fed would raise rates by three-quarters of a percent in this tightening cycle. As we saw on Thursday, the belief that there was relief was a fatally flawed construct.

While logic dictates that the Fed gradually normalize rates and, one day, reduce size of its balance sheet, it's becoming extremely clear that the Fed intends to create a recession, not avoid one.

If forced to choose between Volcker's approach to today's inflation, or a Vulcan's, I'll go with Mr. Spock every time.

Volcker was justified in driving the economy into a deep downturn to conquer imbedded inflation in 1980, even though those actions led to several adverse events, like the Latin American debt crisis, that ultimately forced him to reverse course and ease.

Logic dictates the Fed not try that again, not today.

The economy is already beginning to slow. The dollar is rising rapidly and there will be a price to pay for misidentifying the root cause of today's economic problems.

The very notion of engineering a recession to reduce normalized demand in order to meet drastically reduced supply causes me to raise an eyebrow and insist that "This is highly illogical, Captain."

Rookies:

Well, there was a lot of good things. I mean we were real positive, got an opportunity to watch the guys really go through their early paces. Theres a couple things that really stood out that was really impressive. You know, we got an opportunity to just watch the whole group. [WR] Jahan [Dotson] looks as solid as advertised. We were real pleased to see what we saw from him. I thought he moved around really well. [DT Phidarian Mathis] Phil looked solid, big stout guy on the inside. That was really good. We saw [RB] [Brian] Robinson run the ball, a big physical body. When you see him out here its impressive. It really is. He moves well for a big guy. Hes got good lateral quickness, good footwork. That was really good to see. [S] Percy [Butler] looked fast, big, long and can move. That was really good. Im trying to remember all of our picks. [QB] Sam [Howell] threw the ball very well. Hes got good footwork and a strong arm. That was very evident. [TE Cole Turner], when you see him out here moving, he hes a big body, moves well and presents a good target. Like we talked about, hes a guy thats gonna help us. Then [G] Chris [Paul] looked good. Hes a big physical guy, good size body. [CB] Christian [Holmes] looked good. For a big guy you look at him, youre gonna think this guys a safety, but he moves well for a corner. Hes got some things to learn obviously, but hes a big body, so we are pleased for the most part. And then some of the UDFAs that we signed, we thought moved around well. Its an exciting group. Its still early and it is the underwear Olympics, so we just try to temper all that.

I think hell be okay. I really do. I think he and [QB] Cole Kelley, the other quarterback we brought in are two guys that we did pay a lot of attention to. Both guys are really football smart, football savvy guys. And I dont think either one of em is gonna have a huge learning curve. But I think theyre young guys that arent gonna have any timeframe where they have to hurry to get anything done. We feel just good about who they are.

Well, one of the things about him is his athleticism and its something we wanted to see just how it translates to our game. He was a little bit of a long shot, but bringing a guy in, it doesnt cost anything to take a look at him and just kind of see where he is and if there is a possibility for him to fit. But, the biggest thing that they really talked about was his athleticism and his athletic ability.

He seems to be pretty easy going for the most part. And so there seems to not be many issues about fit. Hes a stout, physical guy and just from watching him do the drills this morning with [Offensive Line] Coach [John Matsko], I think hes a guy thats got an opportunity to help us.

Well, based on what Ive seen as far as the way hes practiced during the OTA periods, hes looking good, hes moving fast. Were doing a lot of walkthrough stuff right now, a lot of formation recognition and adjustment and listening to him communicate and talk out there has been good. Again, right now all were really looking for is that were going in the right direction and thats probably been one of the biggest pluses right now.

First of all, it was athleticism more so than anything else. Thats when you look at Chris, Paul, you look at Christian and you see guys that are athletic to begin with. For a big guy, Chris Paul moves very well, very exciting. When you look at Christian, you sit there and think to yourself, Man, hes built like a safety. I mean, you guys see him out here moving around, but hes a guy that can run. Hes got a quick twitch, hes a physical guy. I also think that in both cases, those guys were smart football players. They really were. They understood the game, and they knew how to do things. I think looking at these guys, they both know the game just based on what youve seen, and they are athletic. So, that gives you some hope that these guys have a chance and theyll be there to help us.

Paul Ruddhas earned the distinction of being one of the most likable stars in Hollywood. Not only does he have a knack for choosing films thatstand the test of time, but he is known for being unproblematic and drama-free. Rudd avoids the scandalous headlines that plague many of his fellow actors. And there could be a very simple reason for that. Rudd has long been happily married tohis wife, Julie Yaeger, who has a thriving career of her own. Together, Rudd and Yaeger remain balanced in an industry known for being especially brutal on relationships.

Paul Rudd was born in 1969. He went on to study acting at several institutions of higher learning, including the University of Kansas and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, according toIMDb. After completing his training, he worked a variety of odd jobs, including becoming a DJ at bar mitzvahs. But in the early 90s, he started landing acting roles, making his big Hollywood breakthrough.

Rudds early roles included parts inClueless, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, The Locusts, Overnight Delivery, andThe Cider House Rules. He became known for his affable, easygoing demeanor, but didnt hesitate to take on dramatic roles as well. By the early 2000s, Rudd had appeared in some of the biggest comedy films of the decade, includingAnchorman: The Legend of Ron BurgundyandKnocked Up. His role asAnt-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universefurther cemented his place as a Hollywood icon.

As Rudd was beginning his ascent to stardom, he met Julie Yaeger, a publicist who also worked as a screenwriter. Rudd later admitted to Marie Claire that Yaeger was the first person he met in New York, and that her maturity impressed him. As Rudd toldCosmopolitan, I was really taken with who she was and how she had overcome and was in the process of overcoming adversities in her life.

Yaeger and Rudd started dating, and in 2003, the two lovebirds tied the knot. Even as Rudd made it big in Hollywood, Yaeger continued her own high-powered career evenworking with her husbandin 2017 on the filmFun Mom Dinner, which Yaeger wrote and Rudd executive-produced.

Rudd and Yaeger have two children: a son, Jack, and a daughter, Darby. The family prefers to remain out of the spotlight, with Rudd shunning most forms of social media. Still, fans can sometimes catch Rudd and Yaeger together when they walk red carpets at his film premieres. Rudd also doesnt hesitate to praise his family when he sits down for interviews, making it clear that he is the family man that he often plays in movies.

Rudd and Yaeger are still happily together after many years. And by all accounts, the two are doing better than ever. Rudd told Elle in 2011 that he and Yaeger are a very normal couple. As reported byParade, Rudd said, I dont think Im going to sell a lot of tabloids. My wife and I have been together for 16 years. My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.

For Rudd, being a Hollywood star is a tiny part of his identity. As Rudd toldPeople Magazinein 2021, when I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like Imthat.I just hang out with my family when Im not working. Thats what I kind of like the most.

Everything to Know About Paul Rudd's Wife Julie Yaeger - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

One of the appeals of Dan Brown's protagonist Robert Langdon, a man Tom Hanks has perfectly embodied even as subsequent films have languished, is how out of place he often appears in the conspiracies he's caught up in. He's no Indiana Jones, and throughout "The Da Vinci Code," that fact is often nudged. Especially when Langdon is getting his a** kicked. In one such scene, Silas ambushes him, shoves him into a bookshelf, and sucker-punches him in the gut. But as Paul Bettany told Esquire, he got a completely unexpected (and perhaps involuntary) reaction from his costar: a "gargantuan fart." Bettany continued:

"I was like, 'Holy s***, what am I going to do? It's Tom Hanks, the biggest star in the world, and I've just made him fart.' He looked at me and I looked at him. And he went, 'What's wrong with you?'"

What does one do when they've punched and made fart a man who has portrayed such adored figures as Forrest Gump, Woody, and Mister Rogers? It's probably a special kind of embarrassment being admonished by Hanks, one akin to the displeasure in receiving from authority figures from adolescence (math teacher, coach, relative) who could actually move you with their disappointment. We can try and imagine Bettany's mortification, but I imagine we fall short.

Although, I'm curious if the take that was used was the same one that elicited the epic fart. We've all heard stories of actors improvising and riffing off one another to unlock a special performance from inside the other, but this was probably way too literal. Hopefully it's all water under the bridgefor the two actors or more accurately, past gas!

Paul Bettany Caused An Embarrassing Situation For Tom Hanks In The Da Vinci Code - /Film

FRAMINGHAM (CBS) A look of approval in the mirror. For Framingham High School senior Kevin Silva, its a big moment.

Im speechless because Ive never actually owned a suit. This store just being overwhelming with choices, said Silva.

Hes one of eight graduates of the Ron Burton Training Village getting outfitted at Miltons for a free new suit as part of the programs Dress for Success event, now in its 13th year.

Im going to cherish this suit. Im going to take care of it. Any chance to use it, I will, said Silva.

Who these people are, and who theyve become, and how theyve grown is really the most important thing. But when they look good as well that just really completes the package and thats all were really trying to do, said Miltons President Dana Katz.

Many in the group are also recipients of full scholarships from the youth organization, including Stonehill College freshman Luis Mendes.

A full ride just meant everything just because it meant I could be closer to my family and get the education that I wanted. It just means everything to me, said Mendes.

WBZ-TVs own Paul Burton was on hand Thursday to help with style advice, and talk about his dads legacy.

When my Dad went to college, they had a Ron Burton day for him because he didnt have the money to buy luggage and clothes to go to Northwestern. So for Dana to hear that story and keep that tradition alive means a lot to our family and just in memory of my Dad, said Burton.

In addition to the suit, the guys are getting all the accessories to go along with it- shoes, socks, tie, belt. Everything they need to help make a future internship or job interview a successful one.

Theyll have the entire outfit they need to look good, to feel good, and we know it will make a difference, said Katz.
