Husband Suspects He's Being Cheated On for a Year—Then Truth Comes Out
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When a man noticed his husband mysteriously disappearing on Saturday mornings soon after they got married six years ago, he started to think the worst. The Salt Lake City-based lawyer and humor columnist, Eli McCann, who posts on TikTok as @eliwmccann, told Newsweek that his husband would vanish for several hours and dodge any questions about where he was going. Eventually, McCann confronted him and asked if he was having an affair. The truth, however, turned out to be far more wholesome. "He was being cagey about what he was up to on Saturday mornings and indicated several times, if he told me, I was going to tease him. So I knew it was something kind of embarrassing and I finally just made him tell me. When I discovered it was Dungeons & Dragons, I laughed so hard, I had tears. I love his nerdy hobby, even if I don't understand it," McCann said. A split image of Eli McCann explaining the revelation that his partner was secretly playing "Dungeon & Dragons" every morning.

In the clip, he said, when his husband finally revealed his secret hobby, he exclaimed: "I wish you were having an affair." For the uninitiated, Dungeons & Dragons (often abbreviated as D&D) is a tabletop role-playing game where players create characters and embark on collaborative adventures guided by a Dungeon Master. First published in the 1970s, it blends storytelling, strategy, and improvisation, allowing players to immerse themselves in a fantasy world. McCann, who regularly writes about his personal life for The Salt Lake Tribune, said his husband's quirky habits often provide him with material: "He's such a delightfully odd man," he added. Viewers on TikTok were quick to share their own thoughts and laughter over the unexpected twist. "Honestly I would lie about that too," said one user. "I'd be so mad if my partner were playing dungeons and dragons without me, that's so rude," added Liam. "'i wish you were having an affair' killed me," another user wrote, referring to a particularly funny moment in McCann's viral video. "I thought you were going to say he was in a running club, when you said D & D it was a sigh of relief," said Kate. Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share?

US Supreme Court turns away challenge by Alpine Securities to FINRA
By John Kruzel WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a challenge by broker-dealer Alpine Securities claiming that the enforcement power given by the federal government to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street's self-regulator, is unconstitutional. The justices turned away Salt Lake City-based Alpine's appeal of a lower court's ruling that allowed FINRA to move forward with an enforcement action against the company for allegedly stealing more than $54.5 million from customers. FINRA, a non-governmental self-regulatory organization, is responsible under federal law for supervising broker-dealers in the United States with the aim of protecting investors and the integrity of securities markets. FINRA has considered the expulsion of Alpine, accusing it of stealing from customers by charging excessive fees and misusing their investments. Alpine responded with a lawsuit to block the FINRA expulsion proceeding, arguing that the organization's structure violates the U.S. Constitution. Specifically at issue is a constitutional principle called the private nondelegation doctrine, which involves limits on the ability of federal agencies set up by Congress to hand off authority to private entities like FINRA. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit handed Alpine a partial victory in 2022, ruling that FINRA cannot expel member firms in expedited proceedings without obtaining review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a federal regulatory agency. The D.C. Circuit decided that a lack of SEC review likely violated the private nondelegation doctrine. But that court also let FINRA continue its enforcement proceeding against Alpine, saying it would not cause the kind of irreparable harm Alpine could face if later expelled, such as going out of business. This prompted Alpine's appeal to the Supreme Court. FINRA opposed Alpine's appeal, as did President Donald Trump's administration. Chief Justice John Roberts in March denied Alpine's emergency request to stop the FINRA proceeding.

Perimeter Partners with Intermountain Health to Study the Potential Clinical, Social and Economic Benefits of Using OCT and AI to Reduce Cancer Reoperations
TORONTO and DALLAS, May 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical technology company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Development Support Agreement ("DSA") with Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health, the largest nonprofit health system in the Intermountain West. This agreement creates the framework for the two organizations to partner on a number of future studies evaluating the potential value of using Perimeter's OCT and collecting additional data to support the continued development of the Company's artificial intelligence ("AI") algorithms. In the first of these studies, Intermountain Health will support a retrospective analysis of population level reoperation rates and incremental healthcare costs associated with reoperation for patients who underwent initial breast-conserving surgery ("BCS") at select hospital sites. "At Intermountain Health, we understand the significance of innovation, like Perimeter's proprietary wide-field OCT interoperative margin assessment technology, that has the potential to optimize surgical oncology outcomes for patients, and support efficient delivery of care," said Teresa Reading, MD, medical director, breast surgery, Canyons Region at Intermountain Health who is involved with the clinical use of this technology. "We look forward to initiating this first study among our BCS patient population, as well as potentially expanding to other tissue types in the future." "Intermountain Health is a fully integrated healthcare delivery system. It shares our commitment to improving both the patient and provider experience through innovation. And with its own health plan, Intermountain Health is uniquely positioned to evaluate the total cost of cancer reoperations - not only to the patient, but also to the payer," commented Adrian Mendes, Perimeter's Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited about how this partnership can help shape our commercial and market access strategies as we work to advance not only our next-generation, AI-enabled Perimeter OCT system for use during BCS through the FDA PMA approval process, but also as we look to expand into other tissue types beyond breast." About Intermountain Health Headquartered in Utah with locations in six states and additional operations across the western U.S., Intermountain Health is a not-for-profit health system with 33 hospitals, approximately 400 clinics, medical groups with some 4,600 employed physicians and advanced care providers, a health plans division called Select Health with more than one million members, and other health services.
