Hope Church Movement and the Campus Changer Network are teaming up again to host Survivor Weekend. They anticipate 2,000 people at the 12th annual event over Labor Day Weekend. During this three-day trip, college students across 22 campuses in the Southwest form tribes, or teams based on their college, major or residence hall. Everyone travels to Northern Arizona for a weekend of music, camping, and competition.
The event is not religious in nature and welcomes students of all backgrounds and beliefs. Pastor Brian and Wendy Smith, founders of Survivor Weekend and Hope Church Movement, said it was their individual college experiences that inspired them to start this event in 2011.
"This didn't exist when I was in college and I wish it had. Our team created Survivor Weekend so that students would have an opportunity to belong to a tribe that has their back," Pastor Brian Smith said. "We want students to know that no matter what they believe, we respect them."
Survivor Weekend is designed to help students build friendships within their tribes, which are based on college campuses or majors. Research shows when college students have a sense of belonging, it can lead to a reduction in depression, loneliness, hopelessness and social anxiety.
"People are writing about belonging more than ever, and across the country, universities are even creating new positions called the Dean of Belonging," Pastor Brian Smith continued. "Everyone is seeing how much of a role a sense of belonging plays in a student's success. Survivor Weekend creates an environment where that can happen." Pastor Brian Smith talks more about the challenges college freshmen face when they first arrive on campus in his book, Winning the Battle to Belong, which was released earlier this summer.
Over the past 12 years, many students have said Survivor Weekend helped them build lifelong friendships.
"It's probably the best decision I've ever made. I'm having an amazing time, meeting so many people," one college freshman said. "I'm feeling alive and not so alone in college anymore. It's helping me a lot."
In addition to the competition, students will hear an inspirational talk by Pastor Brian Smith. In previous years, he's spoken about the importance of being "givers," or people who care about others, in a world full of "takers," people who focus on themselves and what they can get.
"I want to be more of a giver when I go back to ASU," another college freshman said. "I realized from being here, that having a tribe, having friends, making those connections - that's what is going to get me through college."

Is Renny Harlin’s The Strangers remake trilogy actually a sequel trilogy? Cast member Ema Horvath implies it might be
Director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) has already wrapped production on not only a remake of the 2008 film The Strangers (watch it HERE), but an entire remake trilogy. Well, the official announcement referred to this as a remake project, anyway. But that might not actually be the case. During a recent interview with CinemaChords’ Howard Gorman, cast member Ema Horvath (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) said the trilogy is set “in the same universe” as The Strangers and its follow-up The Strangers: Prey at Night. Which leaves fans to wonder if this is actually a sequel trilogy…
The new Strangers trilogy was filmed in Slovakia. Horvath was joined in the cast by Madelaine Petsch (Riverdale), Froy Gutierrez (Cruel Summer), Rachel Shenton (All Creatures Great and Small), and Gabriel Basso (Hillbilly Elegy). The first entry in the trilogy centers on Petsch’s character as she drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers. Lionsgate plans from there to expanding the story in new and unexpected ways with its sequels.
Horvath couldn’t say much about the trilogy during her conversation with CinemaChords because she hasn’t received the PR talking points for it yet, but when she was asked if the new The Strangers is a remake or a sequel, she said, “It’s within the same universe, I’ll say that. It’s a trilogy. It was very fun to shoot and work with (Renny Harlin), and we shot it in Slovakia. I speak the language, so it was a delight to be in that country and work.“
Petsch has previously said that the trilogy is “not exactly a remake because it’s different characters, but it’s the same concept and idea, and I think people will feel like it’s an homage. They’re gonna feel like we handled the material with care and I think [they’re gonna feel] like we’ve dove deeper into it. So if anything, it should make Strangers OG fans really excited because you get more answers, you get more mystery and you get more scares, which is why we watch them.“
This Strangers remake / sequel / homage trilogy is being produced by Courtney Solomon, Mark Canton, Christopher Milburn, Gary Raskin, Charlie Dombeck, and Alastair Birlingham. Andrei Boncea, Dorothy Canton, and Roy Lee serve as executive producers. Rafaella Biscayn, Frame Film SK, Johanna Harlin, Juan Garcia Peredo, and Alberto Burgueno are co-producing. Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (Due Date) wrote the screenplays.
Harlin previously provided the following statement: “My mother instilled the love of movies in me through the world of Hitchcock and other masters of suspense and horror. My breakthrough to Hollywood happened with the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. It is only fitting that I get to return to my favorite genre with the incredibly well written trilogy of The Strangers. The characters and the storyline are all grounded in reality and offer me an endless tapestry of haunting visuals in bringing these movies alive.“
What do you think of Renny Harlin’s Strangers trilogy being “within the same universe” as the previous films? Are you looking forward to this trilogy? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

House of the Dragon Clare Kilner explains why season 2 of the Game of Thrones prequel series is shorter than the first.
House of the Dragon season 2 will continue telling the blood-soaked history of the Targaryen’s, but that story will be a little shorter this time around. Instead of 10 episodes, House of the Dragon season 2 will consist of just 8 episodes and director Clare Kilner explained to THR why that’s for the best.
“There are eight wonderful episodes with so much happening in every episode, and we have trouble, at times, bringing them down to one hour,” Clare Kilner said. “Ryan’s decision was to give it a good opening and a good ending, and they’re jam-packed with emotional and visually exciting events.” So while the second season will be two episodes shorter, it sounds like each one will be packed to the brim with all the dragons and family drama one could want.
While the House of the Dragon cast were able to work in a “pre-release bubble” for the first season, the new season has been shooting after the series has been unveiled to the world. Clare Kilner said that they “more settled” going into the second season. “They’ve come in this season more relaxed, and there’s a sense of family,” Kilner said. “Everybody knows one another and wants to do good work, and they know their characters so much better.“
One of the biggest additions to the series this season has been Alan Taylor, who directed many stand-out episodes of Game of Thrones. As Clare Kilner explains, Taylor’s presence has led to all the other director’s upping their game. “It’s very inspiring because there are five directors and they’re all different, and we’re all watching the dailies and commenting on one another’s work,” Kilner said. “We can’t help it, we’re all a bit competitive. So, Alan helps us up our game. He’s such an accomplished director, and I really love the way he uses depth of field and focus in his storytelling to bring viewers’ attention to certain elements in the frame. I’ve been watching that and going, ‘How can I evolve in that direction?’“
House of the Dragon is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, a Targaryen history book which chronicles the history of House Targaryen, starting off with “Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and [going on] to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold the throne, all the way up to the civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons, that nearly tore their dynasty apart.”

The Blind Side family attorney responds to Michael Oher’s allegations, calling them “offensive” and “ridiculous”
Michael Oher was the subject of The Blind Side, a movie which followed a homeless and traumatized Black teenager who becomes an All-American football player and first-round NFL draft pick with the help of his caring adoptive parents played by Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. However, Michael Oher made some serious allegations against The Blind Side family yesterday, saying that they deceived him about being adopted and deprived him of earnings from the movie. The family has now responded to the allegations through their attorney, Marty Singer.
Marty Singer said that the “outlandish claims” made by Michael Oher about Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy are “hurtful and absurd,” and the idea that the family “have ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.” Singer also said that Oher has “attempted to run this play several times before – but it seems that numerous other lawyers stopped representing him once they saw the evidence and learned the truth. Sadly, Mr. Oher has finally found a willing enabler and filed this ludicrous lawsuit as a cynical attempt to drum up attention in the middle of his latest book tour.“
The attorney added that the Tuohy’s have never kept any money earned from The Blind Side from Michael Oher and have always divided it equally among the family. “Over the years, the Tuohys have given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received from The Blind Side,” reads the rebuttal. “Even recently, when Mr. Oher started to threaten them about what he would do unless they paid him an eight-figure windfall, and, as part of that shakedown effort refused to cash the small profit checks from the Tuohys, they still deposited Mr. Oher’s equal share into a trust account they set up for his son.“
You can read Martin Singer’s full statement regarding The Blind Side allegations below:
“Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that the outlandish claims made by Michael Oher about the Tuohy family are hurtful and absurd. The idea that the Tuohys have ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous. Through hard work and good fortune, Sean and Leigh Anne have made an extraordinary amount of money in the restaurant business. The notion that a couple worth hundreds of millions of dollars would connive to withhold a few thousand dollars in profit participation payments from anyone – let alone from someone they loved as a son – defies belief.
In reality, the Tuohys opened their home to Mr. Oher, offered him structure, support and, most of all, unconditional love. They have consistently treated him like a son and one of their three children. His response was to threaten them, including saying that he would plant a negative story about them in the press unless they paid him $15 million.
When Michael Lewis, a friend of Sean’s since childhood, was approached about turning his book on Mr. Oher and the Tuohys into a movie about their family, his agents negotiated a deal where they received a small advance from the production company and a tiny percentage of net profits. They insisted that any money received be divided equally. And they have made good on that pledge.
The evidence – documented in profit participation checks and studio accounting statements – is clear: over the years, the Tuohys have given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received from The Blind Side. Even recently, when Mr. Oher started to threaten them about what he would do unless they paid him an eight-figure windfall, and, as part of that shakedown effort refused to cash the small profit checks from the Tuohys, they still deposited Mr. Oher’s equal share into a trust account they set up for his son.
Additionally, in spite of the false allegation in the lawsuit, the Tuohys have always been upfront about how a conservatorship (from which not one penny was received) was established to assist with Mr. Oher’s needs, ranging from getting him health insurance and obtaining a driver’s license to helping with college admissions. Should Mr. Oher wish to terminate the conservatorship, either now or at anytime in the future, the Tuohys will never oppose it in any way.
Unbeknownst to the public, Mr. Oher has actually attempted to run this play several times before – but it seems that numerous other lawyers stopped representing him once they saw the evidence and learned the truth. Sadly, Mr. Oher has finally found a willing enabler and filed this ludicrous lawsuit as a cynical attempt to drum up attention in the middle of his latest book tour.
The Tuohys will always care deeply for Mr. Oher. They are heartbroken over these events. They desperately hope that he comes to regret his recent decisions, makes different choices in the future and that they someday can be reconciled with him. In the meantime, however, they will not hesitate to defend their good names, stand up to this shakedown and defeat this offensive lawsuit.”
~ Martin Singer, attorney for Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy.
We likely haven’t heard the last of these Blind Side allegations, which unfortunately look to be getting somewhat ugly.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller explain the changes in the Digital version of the movie.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was recently released on Digital and fans quickly noticed many small changes from the version they recall seeing in theaters. While speaking with GamesRadar, Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller explained the reason behind the changes.
“There was an international version that was made almost two months before the movie came out because it had to be translated into different languages and these French censors have to decide what the rating of the movie is in Europe,” Christopher Miller explained. “The team at [Sony Pictures] Imageworks still had some shots that they felt they could do better for the finished version. So, they cleaned up and tweaked those things.“
Miller added that crew members would suggest other changes that made their way into the constantly shifting cut of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. “Certain crew members – people in the sound department or on the animation team – were like, ‘Oh, could we do this instead?’” Miller said. “Let’s do the best possible version we can. Because it’s a multiverse movie, it’s like there’s a multiverse of the movie – that was really the reasoning behind it. It was trying to make the best possible version that everyone was going to be the proudest of.” Phil Lord added, “I think most of the changes are improvements.”
“When Miles Morales is unexpectedly approached by his best friend and love interest Gwen Stacy to complete a mission to save every universe of Spider-People from a mysterious new villain who could cause a catastrophic disaster, Miles is up for the challenge,” reads the official synopsis for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. “He and Gwen journey through the Multiverse together and meet its protectors, a group of Spider-People known as the Spider-Force. However, Miles finds himself at odds with the Spider-Force on how to handle the threat.” Across the Spider-Verse features the voices of Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya, and Oscar Isaac. The film was directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson from a script by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham.

A rigorous evaluation process led to Smile Digital Health becoming the Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services' data fabric partner of choice to meet the interoperability needs for health data utility.

Smile Digital Health (Smile), a leading Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) health data fabric and exchange solutions provider, today announced a partnership with the Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services (MiHIN) on the implementation of its next-generation health information exchange (HIE) platform. MiHIN is leveraging Smile's Health Data Fabric (HDF) in this next phase of its digital transformation.
MiHIN is Michigan's non-profit state-designated HIE, providing critical and comprehensive patient information to doctors, clinics, federally qualified health centers, hospitals, pharmacies, health insurance providers, and public health in Michigan. Over the last 15 years, MiHIN has set the national standard for building health information networks in an equitable and sustainable manner.
Smile's HDF enables field-leading next-generation HIEs, offering best-in-class security, scalability, performance, composability and innovation acceleration tools. MiHIN will use Smile to future-proof its modernization investment by building an open standards ecosystem and cloud native computing. Along with Smile's robust privacy and security certifications, its scalability allows for MiHIN to enhance services to its Michigan customers and fast-track growth for MiHIN's national subsidiary HIE network operated by Velatura Public Benefit Corporation. MiHIN and Velatura will use its new FHIR advanced HDF from Smile to enable new and advance data sharing use cases and analytics services that will assist in the transformation of care and support Velatura's gateway hub as part of the national Patient Centered Data Home (PCDH) initiative.
"Enabling meaningful health data sharing hinges on open standards, freeing information from silos and fostering seamless integration between data and care," said Dr. Tim Pletcher, Executive Director of MiHIN. "Smile's steadfast dedication to open standards perfectly aligns with MiHIN's unwavering drive to establish a forward-looking and market-responsive HIE, facilitating the seamless integration of clean, actionable data, real-time quality measures, point-of-care clinical insights, and more."
MiHIN had to consider many necessary attributes when planning the modernization of its HIE and how Smile could support the transformations. Smile's event-driven design was a requirement to enable real-time data exchange and updates. MiHIN also needed Smile's open standards-based platform to ensure seamless interoperability between the healthcare ecosystem stakeholders and data utilizers.
"Quality healthcare requires quality data and insights to ensure positive patient and population health outcomes. MiHIN's use-case factory and equitable business models are a perfect match for our FHIR data platform to ensure the safe, just-in-time, delivery of contextualized information wherever the patient chooses to get their care. This move ensures that they can scale with growing data volumes due to increasing demands as they grow with Velatura," said Shane McNamee, MD, Chief Growth Officer, Smile Digital Health. "A next-generation HIE will significantly improve healthcare data exchange and overall patient care. We're proud to play a crucial part in MiHIN's continuing digital transformation."
Mary Lantin, General Manager of Availity Clinical Solutions, commented, "So many of today's, and tomorrow's, critical healthcare initiatives require the use of FHIR data. As a long-time technology partner to MiHIN, we are delighted to continue to support MiHIN's best-of-breed FHIR strategy in cooperation with Smile Digital Health. Availity Fusion for clinical data upcycling, and proven and scalable FHIR conversion and FHIR streaming, ensures that data that is delivered to patients and providers is the highest quality possible."

The list represents a unique data-driven look at the economy's most dynamic segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses — and is a key achievement for a growing business.
"Optimize Health is honored to be recognized by Inc. as one of America's most successful private companies," said Todd Haedrich, CEO of Optimize Health.

Health systems, physician practices, federally qualified health centers (FQHC), accountable care organizations (ACO), and large medical groups have been turning to Optimize Health to transform their care delivery.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.
"Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "To make the Inc. 5000 — with the fast growth that requires — is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future."
"Being recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic headwinds, shows the potential of remote care, remote patient monitoring and chronic care management.
