Active Dental, a family and emergency dental practice with offices in Irving, Plano, Frisco, Flower Mound and Prosper, Texas, has surpassed 2,500 five-star patient reviews on Google across its five Dallas-Fort Worth locations. The milestone reflects more than 17 years of patient care since the practice opened its first office in Irving in 2009.

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Active Dental has surpassed 2,500 five-star patient reviews on Google across its five Dallas-Fort Worth offices in Irving, Plano, Frisco, Flower Mound and Prosper. The practice has now received more than 2,800 Google reviews in total, and each of its five locations currently holds an average Google rating of 4.8 or 4.9 stars.

Active Dental opened its first office in Irving in 2009 under founder Dr. Kalpesh Patel and has since grown into a five-location practice serving families across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The review total was built one appointment at a time, across routine cleanings, children's checkups, restorative work and same-day emergency visits, and it spans every office rather than resting on a single location.

Reading through the reviews, several themes come up again and again regardless of which office a patient visited. Patients frequently mention short waits and appointments that start on time, dentists and hygienists who take the time to explain what they found and walk through the options, and pricing that is discussed upfront before treatment begins. Many reviews come from patients who were seen the same day for a dental emergency, including on Saturdays, and from parents whose children have been coming to the practice for years.

Those themes line up closely with how the practice was built. Active Dental offers extended weekday hours and Saturday appointments, same-day emergency care, and help understanding insurance benefits and financing options. Each office is designed around patient comfort, with amenities such as blankets, pillows and in-room entertainment in the treatment rooms and warm towels at the end of each visit, details patients often point to in their feedback.

"When I opened our first office in Irving in 2009, the idea was simple: run a dental practice that respects people's time and gives them straight answers about their care," said Dr. Kalpesh Patel, founder of Active Dental. "Twenty-five hundred five-star reviews is not something any one person can take credit for. Every one of those reviews was written by a patient who took a few minutes out of their day to tell others about their visit, and we do not take that lightly. It reflects the work of our dentists, hygienists, assistants and front-desk teams at all five offices, and it is a standard we intend to keep earning with every appointment."

The milestone comes during a year of continued investment across the practice, including the recent renovation of the Plano office, which added three treatment rooms along with new equipment and updated technology. All five Active Dental offices are accepting new patients, and prospective patients can read reviews for each location on its Google Business Profile before booking.

Online reviews reflect the experiences of individual patients, and each patient's experience and treatment needs are different. Patients are encouraged to schedule an exam to discuss their own oral health goals with an Active Dental dentist.

Richmond Hill, Ontario's KATIE DAUSON Delivers A Sweet, Electric Love Song On New Single "Fresh Sugar"

Spotify I YouTube I Website I Instagram

RICHMOND HILL, ON, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Richmond Hill, Ontario musician Katie Dauson has released "Fresh Sugar," a country rock love ballad built around the feeling of finally finding the person who makes everything else make sense. The song came together fast and unexpectedly, written on her dad's birthday, after a spin of a Raspberries record on vinyl handed her the hook and title in the same instant, and she started writing right there in the family room of her house.

That immediacy carries through the song itself, a tribute to the kind of love that hits like a freight train and never lets up. "You're just like fresh sugar baby, it's the sweetest thing I know, your lovin' drives me crazy, and you electrify my soul," she sings on the chorus, following a verse that describes the feeling as "harder than the hardest diamond, bigger than torrential rain."

Dauson recorded "Fresh Sugar" at Cleveland Sound Lab in Vaughan, Ontario with producer and engineer James Nickle, releasing the single through Frog & Bog Records. She wrote, composed, and sang the song herself, playing rhythm guitar on the track and designing the single artwork.

Dauson blends rock and roll, rockabilly, surf rock, country, folk and bluegrass into something that resists easy categorization, drawing on influences as varied as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Fats Domino, ELO and Gordon Lightfoot. Her path into music was anything but a straight line. She studied physics and astronomy at York University and spent time at the David Dunlap Observatory under the guidance of Dr. Tom Bolton, the astronomer credited with discovering the first black hole. Health setbacks eventually pulled her away from that path, and she found her way to a local open mic, where performing her original song "Virtual Sky" changed the direction of her life for good.

Onstage, Dauson leads a full band, with Trenton Moore on drums, Lex Stultz on bass, Blake Little on lead guitar, Darren Armoogam on keyboards, and Kun Huang and Walter Chan rounding out the horn section on saxophone and flute.

With "Fresh Sugar," Dauson offers her sweetest and most direct love song yet, proof that the most powerful feelings are often the simplest ones to sing about.

Boeing, American Airlines Complete First 737 MAX Landing Gear Exchange

- Milestone achievement confirms the program's effectiveness and the quality standards operators expect.

- As Boeing expands global exchange availability, customers benefit from reduced AOG risk and improved maintenance predictability.

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and American Airlines announced the successful completion of the first landing gear exchange for a 737 MAX, marking a key milestone as the company extends its longstanding Landing Gear Exchange Program to the MAX platform. The exchange validates Boeing's ability to deliver fully overhauled, Boeing‑certified main and nose landing gear assemblies that arrive ready to install — reducing aircraft on‑ground time and easing spare‑parts burdens for operators.

The Landing Gear Exchange Program has long provided customers with a practical alternative to buying and warehousing expensive spare gear. This first 737 MAX swap with American Airlines demonstrates the program's proven model — overhaul, certification and delivery of ready‑to‑install assemblies — is effective for the newest generation of Boeing single‑aisle aircraft.

"This milestone reinforces what our customers have known for years: Boeing's Landing Gear Exchange capability delivers predictable, safe and cost‑effective outcomes," said William Ampofo, senior vice president, Parts & Distribution and Supply Chain, Boeing Global Services. "Extending the program to the 737 MAX gives operators another proven tool to shorten downtime, manage costs and align heavy maintenance with operational needs."

For the completed 737 MAX exchange Boeing supplied an overhauled and certified landing gear assembly with installation kit. The swap validated the end‑to‑end process — from technical overhaul and paperwork through delivery — and proved the approach can be applied consistently to the MAX fleet.

Boeing is also increasing global overhaul capacity and coordinating with certified MRO partners to expand geographic availability and shorten lead times. Near term priorities include enlarging 737 MAX‑capable exchange inventory, adding forward‑exchange slots close to customer operations, and tracking operational metrics to quantify downtime and cost benefits as the program scales.

By enabling a forward exchange of certified assemblies, Boeing's solution helps airlines avoid lengthy in‑place overhauls and the risk of extended groundings. Operators can shift from holding high‑cost spare inventories to reserving forward‑exchange slots, freeing working capital and improving fleet predictability. Boeing manages the technical overhaul, incorporation of applicable service bulletins, certification and supplier coordination, transferring inventory and obsolescence risk away from operators.

For the completed 737 MAX exchange Boeing supplied overhauled and certified main and nose landing gear assemblies with installation kits (wheels, tires and brakes excluded). The swap validated the end‑to‑end process — from technical overhaul and paperwork through delivery — and proved the approach can be applied consistently to the MAX fleet.

A leading global aerospace company and top U.S. exporter, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries. Our U.S. and global workforce and supplier base drive innovation, economic opportunity, sustainability and community impact. Boeing is committed to fostering a culture based on our core values of safety, quality and integrity.

Study finds Robin, Atera's Autonomous IT agent, autonomously resolves up to 90% of manual service desk tickets by Year 3, driving $7.3 million in total benefits against $1.7 million in costs

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atera, the pioneer of the Autonomous IT platform for the modern enterprise, today announced the findings of a new Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) Report conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Atera. The study examined the potential financial impact of Robin by Atera and found that a composite enterprise organization could realize a 321% return on investment, $5.5 million in net present value, and payback in less than six months over three years.

Enterprise IT teams described a familiar set of challenges before deploying Robin, including reactive, largely manual service desk operations, high volumes of repetitive, low-value tickets, fragmented tooling, and rising support demand that would otherwise require adding headcount to sustain service levels.

To quantify Robin's impact against those challenges, Forrester interviewed four enterprise decision-makers and combined their experiences into a single composite organization, a 2,500-employee enterprise with $800 million in annual revenue and a 30-person Level 1/Level 2 service desk team. Over three years, the study found the composite organization achieved $7.3 million in risk-adjusted benefits against $1.7 million in costs, for a net present value (NPV) of $5.5 million.

"Enterprises are increasingly looking for third-party validation and peer proof over vendor claims," said Gil Pekelman, co-founder and CEO of Atera. "This study gives IT leaders a numbers-based answer to the question every CFO is asking about AI investments: what's the actual return? Robin was built to remove everyday technology friction so teams can focus on higher-value work. Forrester's study shows how that can translate into measurable financial impact for a composite enterprise organization."

Autonomy that scales with the organization

According to the study, Robin was forecasted to autonomously resolve 60% of manual service desk tickets in Year 1, increasing to 90% by Year 3 as integrations matured and Robin's knowledge base expanded. For the composite organization, that modeled autonomy curve contributed to five categories of quantified benefits over three years:

- $3.3 million in avoided IT service desk costs through autonomous ticket resolution

- $533,000 in efficiency gains from Robin's autonomous triage of incoming tickets

- $2.9 million in recovered end-user productivity through faster issue resolution

- $241,000 in avoided hiring costs as Robin absorbed ticket volume growth without added headcount

- Avoided shadow IT remediation costs worth $305,000 through reduced end-users' reliance on unsanctioned tools and workarounds

Interviewed organizations also reported improvements they could not quantify, including a shift from reactive "firefighting" IT support to a more proactive service model, more strategic use of IT staff time, and stronger SLA performance. One interviewed healthcare organization reported that SLA compliance improved from 75% to almost 100%.

About the report

The Total Economic Impact™ study was commissioned by Atera and conducted by Forrester Consulting. It is based on interviews with four decision-makers at organizations using Robin and is not intended as a competitive analysis. Forrester makes no assumptions about the ROI other organizations may achieve and advises readers to use their own estimates within the framework provided.

Partnership aims to bring purpose-built mobile messaging compliance capture to federal agencies

SAN RAMON, Calif. and WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SnippetSentry, a leading provider of mobile communication compliance solutions, today announced it has entered into a partnership with Knox Systems (Knox), the largest, longest-running federal managed cloud, to pursue Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authorization. A rigorous and exclusive U.S. government program, FedRAMP is designed to standardize security assessment and authorization for cloud service offerings, accelerating the adoption of government-grade cloud solutions by federal agencies.

Government agencies are required to preserve mobile communications for records retention, regulatory compliance, audits, investigations, litigation, and eDiscovery. However, most of the compliance tools were built for email and have not kept pace with the evolution of how federal employees communicate. SnippetSentry helps public sector organizations securely capture and preserve business communications across the mobile messaging channels employees already use, including iMessage, SMS, Signal, WhatsApp, and Android Messaging. The service enables agencies to capture communications from familiar, native messaging experiences and deliver those records to their preferred archive, records management, or eDiscovery environment.

"Government agencies should not have to choose between modern communications and effective records compliance," said Eddie Green, CEO of SnippetSentry. "By partnering with Knox to achieve FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, SnippetSentry is making mobile communications capture practical for public sector organizations without forcing employees to abandon the messaging experiences they currently use."

Through its partnership with Knox to pursue FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, SnippetSentry is working to bring its capture and compliance capability, backed by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, into an authorized environment federal agencies can adopt with confidence. Knox is guiding SnippetSentry through the FedRAMP Moderate Authorization process, managing the complexity of federal compliance requirements so SnippetSentry can stay focused on its mobile communications capture platform.

"As federal employees leverage modern messaging to communicate and conduct government business, it's critical that their agencies be able to effectively maintain records of those communications as mandated," said Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox Systems. "By partnering with Knox to pursue FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, SnippetSentry is closing that gap — giving agencies a way to capture the encrypted, everyday conversations their employees already rely on without asking them to change how they work."

Decades in the making, the 406-of-407 signed set represents one of baseball collecting's most extraordinary pursuits

TAVARES, Fla., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The autographed 1952 Topps baseball card collection of lifelong collector and Destiny Family Office Founder and CEO Tom Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP®, has earned recognition as the 2026 PSA Baseball Set of the Year from among more than 157,000 registered baseball sets.

The entire legendary '52 Topps set consists of 407 cards and features some of the most recognizable names in baseball history, including Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Yogi Berra. Ruggie has acquired PSA authenticated signatures on 406 of the 407 cards. Card #342, Al Benton, is the final signature standing between Ruggie and completion of a pursuit that has spanned decades.

At the 2026 PSA Set Registry Awards Dinner in Rosemont, Illinois, during the National Sports Collectors Convention, Ruggie's accomplishment was commemorated with the presentation of a one-of-one custom canvas artwork created by artist Murray Henderson honoring the iconic 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. The piece features an authentic, embedded PSA-authenticated Mickey Mantle cut autograph.

"This recognition means a lot to me," said Ruggie. "It wasn't something I applied for, and I was absolutely surprised when I was notified my set was being honored. I started collecting autographed sports cards five decades ago as a child because I loved the hobby."

Ruggie didn't set out to build an entire signed '52 Topps set. After securing the massive anchor stars of the '52 Topps set, including the iconic Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Jackie Robinson, he looked at his binder and realized how close he was. He decided, "I've come this far. I might as well go for the whole thing."

Finding the remaining players grew increasingly difficult. More than 70 years have passed since the set was first issued, and many of the players died before signed sports cards became an established collecting category. Some signatures are exceptionally scarce.

"Collecting teaches you patience," said Ruggie, whose broader collection spans sports cards, historic memorabilia, original sports art and entertainment artifacts. "Sometimes you have to wait years for the right piece to surface. You have to know what you're looking for and be willing to wait. The pursuit is a big part of what makes collecting exciting and meaningful."

Ruggie's passion for collecting has intersected with his role as CEO of Destiny Family Office. He has been increasingly recognized as a collector who advises high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth collectors whose passion assets are a meaningful component of their financial portfolio. He is not commenting on the collector experience from the sidelines. He has lived it for decades and understands firsthand both the emotional connection collectors have to what they've built and the increasingly complex considerations that surround a significant collection that has become part of a family's wealth and legacy.

"A great collection is rarely just a group of assets," Ruggie said. "There are memories, relationships and years of pursuit behind it. Building a world-class collection is one challenge. Managing one as part of a family's wealth is another. Passion and financial significance can exist side by side."

For Ruggie, the PSA recognition marks a milestone, but not the end of the story. There is still one card to find. Al Benton, #342.

And the hunt continues.

The new strength training experience pairs heavy weights with heat and intentional programming, offering a complementary way to build strength as [solidcore] continues its national growth

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- [solidcore], the high-intensity, low-impact strength training brand known for its personalized coaching excellence and effectiveness, today announces the launch of [solidcore] ascend: high-intensity, heated, floor-based strength training amplified by a custom weight and resistance station. Designed to complement the brand's signature reformer-based workout, [solidcore] ascend gives clients a new way to build strength while carrying forward the personalized coaching, intentional programming, and commitment to effectiveness that define [solidcore].

The introduction of [solidcore] ascend marks the next evolution of the [solidcore] experience. While each workout differs in how clients train, both are rooted in the same approach to strength: form-first, effective, and personalized. [solidcore] ascend builds on that foundation through a different combination of movement, load, tempo, and heat, creating a distinct but complementary strength training experience.

[solidcore] ascend will launch with Strong50, a 50-minute, full-body class programmed around three trainable qualities: hypertrophy, strength, and power. Strong50 uses prescriptive programming, deliberately varying weights, sets, tempos, and rest to build and preserve muscle, develop strength, and train the body to move quickly and with force. The class takes place entirely on the floor, using a custom weight and resistance station, with a coach who guides clients through weight selection, movement, and tempo. Designed for all fitness levels, Strong50 includes detailed coach cues, exercise demonstrations, modifications, and amplifications to personalize the workout to each client.

"Our clients have always been at the center of how we think about the future of [solidcore]. As we've grown, we've seen an opportunity to meet more of their strength training needs while staying true to what makes this brand distinct. [solidcore] ascend allows us to do exactly that and represents an exciting next chapter in how we continue to evolve the [solidcore] brand," says Bryan Myers, President and CEO of [solidcore].

Strong50 classes are heated to a target of 90 degrees using infrared heat. Infrared wavelengths work at a cellular level to ease inflammation, promote muscle recovery, and optimize blood flow. The heat also supports cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and, over time, helping the body adapt through improved circulation and heat tolerance.

While the training stimulus differs, [solidcore] ascend is intentionally designed to complement the signature [solidcore] workout. [solidcore] uses slow, controlled movement and sustained tension to build strength, stability, and muscular endurance, while [solidcore] ascend introduces heavier loads, prescribed reps, and varied tempos to develop muscular strength, growth, and power. Across both experiences, training remains core-forward, with the same emphasis on coaching, form, and intentional movement.

The development of [solidcore] ascend was informed by testing and direct client feedback through the [solidcore] Innovation Lab, where the brand explored new training workouts to understand how its community wanted to expand the ways they build strength.

"[solidcore] ascend is inspired by what our clients told us they are looking for in their strength training regimen, while remaining grounded in the personalized coaching, intentional programming, and effectiveness they expect from [solidcore]," says Anne Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of [solidcore]. "We built [solidcore] ascend to complement, rather than replace, the signature [solidcore] workout, giving clients another way to build strength within the [solidcore] ecosystem."

The launch of [solidcore] ascend comes amid continued growth for [solidcore], which has expanded from its first studio in Washington, D.C. in 2013 to more than 180 studios nationwide. The brand continues to scale through a corporate-owned model, allowing [solidcore] to maintain consistency across its programming, coaching, and client experience as it enters new markets. As [solidcore] works toward surpassing 250 studios by 2028, [solidcore] ascend represents another dimension of the brand's next chapter of growth—expanding not only its physical footprint, but the ways clients can build strength within the [solidcore] ecosystem.

[solidcore] ascend will debut at the brand's first dual-modality studio at Manhattan West in New York City in Winter 2026. [solidcore] ascend will also expand into dedicated studios, with additional locations across the country to be announced in 2027.
