Ted White dead at 96 – Tributes pour in for Jason Voorhees stuntman on ‘Friday the 13th’ who also worked with John Wayne
LEGENDARY stuntman Ted White has died at the age of 96, his son revealed today.
The actor, best known for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in the 1984 film “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,” died peacefully at his home in Southern California on Friday.
Tributes have since poured in for the star, who worked with the likes of John Wayne, Clark Gable and Richard Boone.
Confirming his dad’s death today, Ted’s son, also Ted, told Fox News Digital: “He was a tough guy. Honest and told the truth, whether you liked it or not.
“The last of the blood and guts guys.”
His wife, Jeri Bayouth added: “He was bigger than life, and he was tough as a boot.

“A tender heart and a very generous heart. He took a lot of risks and a lot of adventures.”
She added: “He loved the picture business and the stunt guys, and there were lots of actors and actresses that I knew that were phenomenal,” Ted added.
“So he appreciated, you know, the time he spent at it, and he appreciated the business.”
White was also a former marine.
Prior to heading West, he attended the University of Oklahoma.

The late star was also good friends with President Ronald Reagan, and would even get haircuts with him, Ted told Fox.
“We had people over for dinner that were pretty famous, but he didn’t care about all of that,” Ted said.
Ted also noted his father was fearless recalling times he would go to Daniel Boone’s set with him and he would be injured from stunts, but unfazed.
“One day he hit a corner of the pad doing a high fall, and the next thing you know, they were taking him away in an ambulance, and he was waving at me as he was going away,” said Ted.
Film Producer Sean Clark penned an emotional tribute to the late Ted on Facebook.
“He was my adopted grandpa and hands down the best storyteller you could have ever met,” he wrote.
“I am going to miss you immensely and those steak dinners we always had. Also teasing you about your red, white & blue banner that made you look like you were running for President.”
My heart goes out to his wife Jeri and his sons. It was an absolute honor my friend.
White chose not to be credited for “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,” when it came out and declined to be involved in a sequel.
He later became involved in documentaries and conventions surrounding the horror industry.
More information will be updated as it becomes available.
Apple Has Worked on Docking Accessory That Would Turn the iPad Into a Smart Home Display
During Google’s last event, it announced it would offer a charging speaker dock that magnetically attaches to the back of the upcoming Pixel Tablet, essentially turning it into a smart home display like the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max. Gurman today said that he expects Apple to bring similar functionality to the iPad next year through a docking accessory that would be sold separately, while the company works on a standalone product for the home that combines a display and a smart speaker.
Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman said:
I’m told Apple is working to bring similar functionality to the iPad as soon as 2023. I reported last year that Apple is exploring a stand-alone device that combines an iPad with a speaker hub. The idea is to offer something that users can place on a kitchen counter, in the living room or on their nightstand. But Apple also has worked on an iPad docking accessory that it could sell separately and would accomplish much of the same thing.
An iPad docking accessory could allow users to use their iPad to control different functions of their home through the Home app, make FaceTime calls using the iPad’s front camera with Center Stage, and more.
Compared to Google and Amazon, Apple has maintained a low profile with products for the home, releasing just the HomePod mini in October 2020 before discontinuing the original HomePod in March 2021. A new full-sized HomePod is one of several products Apple is expected to release in 2023. According to rumors, the new full-sized HomePod will keep the same design as the original smart speaker but feature faster performance and possibly a new display.

It worked! NASA successfully moved a stadium-sized asteroid.
Rest easy, Earthlings.
NASA says its first mission to intentionally crash a spacecraft into an asteroid succeeded in dramatically altering its path, proving the agency is capable of thwarting a potential hazardous space rock in the future, should one be on a collision course with Earth.
The crash into the asteroid, Dimorphos, happened on Sept. 26, 2022, but scientists didn’t know whether they actually moved it until now. Over the past two weeks, astronomers used ground telescopes to study its orbit around a larger asteroid, Didymos, and found the loop was sped up from 11 hours and 55 minutes to 11 hours and 23 minutes, a significant change of 32 minutes.
Mission operations leaders said they only needed to observe a change of 73 seconds to confirm the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, better known as DART, had worked. The experiment vastly exceeded their hopes of a 10-minute reduction in the orbit time, they said.
NASA administrator Bill Nelson called the outcome “a watershed moment for planetary defense, and a watershed moment for humanity” during a news conference on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022.
NASA broadcast the $330 million carefully orchestrated collision late last month from the mission operations center at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland, giving viewers a deer-in-headlights experience. Through a camera on the spacecraft, the team of scientists and engineers, as well as the general public, were able to watch a stadium-sized rock grow from a mere dot of light to a rocky egg-shaped boulder blotting out the entire frame. The feed almost unfolded in real time, delivering an extreme closeup of an event happening 6.8 million miles away.
Based on earlier computer simulations, the DART team knew if Dimorphos turned out to be made of a loosely bound pile of rubble, the odds of the spacecraft giving it a considerable jolt were better. Tom Statler, a NASA program scientist, said he had a gut feeling the night of the strike that it worked.
“When I saw Dimorphos coming into view, and when I saw there was not a single crater on it, and there were a lot of what appeared to be loose rocks … I looked at it and I said, ‘This is not going to be 73 seconds,'” Statler explained. “And it wasn’t.”
The nameless spacecraft, about 1,300 pounds, carried no explosives. Its “weapon” was its own body and the sheer force of plowing into an asteroid at 14,000 mph. Scientists have likened the mission to running a golf cart into the Great Pyramid of Giza. The spacecraft’s nudge left a crater behind but didn’t blow the asteroid to bits like depictions of planetary defense in the movies.

“One of the key pieces to being successful with implementing a technique like this is early detection: The more time we have for that little nudge and the change in that orbital period, the better off we are,” said Lori Glaze, NASA’s planetary science division director. “Give that little nudge, such that the asteroid crosses over Earth’s path, either just before we get there or just after we’ve gone by, so that we don’t actually end up in the same place at the same time.”

The LICIACube, a toaster-sized spacecraft supplied by the Italian Space Agency, has flown by the disaster site and taken pictures of the results. Space telescopes and Earth-based observatories also have captured shots. Astronomers have been impressed with the images.
Some, like those taken by the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope in Chile, show a bright light cast from the asteroid like a comet. That “tail” is made up of grains thrown from the asteroid, driven away by the pressure of solar radiation, Glaze said.

“a watershed moment for planetary defense, and a watershed moment for humanity … ”
NASA chose Dimorphos for target practice because it was an ideal specimen for tracking the results of DART’s hit, not because it in any way posed a danger to Earth. Prior to the recent sucker punch from NASA’s spacecraft, it likely had the same orbit, looping around a larger asteroid, Didymos, for thousands of years.
The effect of a small spacecraft on a solitary asteroid’s trip around the sun is incredibly hard to track because the change in its speed would be on a scale of millimeters per second. Detecting how the impact changed the asteroid’s orbit around a nearby rock, on the other hand, is much easier to measure.
Millions of space rocks orbit the sun. The majority are in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but occasionally rocks get nudged into the inner solar system, relatively closer to Earth.
There are currently no known asteroids on an impact course with our planet. Scientists are, however, keeping a vigilant eye on 30,000 large objects in Earth’s solar system neighborhood and estimate there could be around 15,000 asteroids larger than 460 feet across waiting to be discovered. Using powerful telescopes, these astronomers are currently finding around 500 new sizable space rocks near Earth (which means passing within some 30 million miles of our planet’s orbit) each year.
In order for planetary defense programs to be effective, scientists need a detailed inventory of what’s out there.
But even smaller rocks can cause immense destruction. An impact by an asteroid some 100 to 170 feet wide would destroy a place like Kansas City. An undetected meteor exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in February 2013, causing an airburst and shockwave that affected six cities and injured 1,600 people. The rock was just 60 feet across, according to NASA.
DART is an important first step in an international effort to prepare for these types of existential threats, NASA’s administrator Nelson said: “NASA is trying to be ready for whatever the universe throws at us.”

I’m a medium who worked with Kelly Clarkson & Gloria Estefan – You can ‘speak to dead relatives’ with simple technique
A CELEBRITY medium has shared his belief that anyone has the power to develop a sixth sense and speak to their loved ones who have passed away.
Matt Fraser, who has wowed stars like Gloria Estefan and Kelly Clarkson with his work, shared insight into the secrets he says spirits have revealed to him.

The 31-year-old, who stars in the reality series Meet The Frasers on E! Entertainment, left his job as an EMT when he discovered his abilities, which left the audience at the Kelly Clarkson Show shocked back in 2020.
During his 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk: The Estefans, Fraser left superstar Gloria in tears when he supposedly delivered a message from her late mother.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, the psychic medium said people who pass away are still with their loved ones in spirit, and often try to communicate through signs.
“What’s amazing is they’re already trying to reach you using signs,” he said.

“Signs are little reminders of your loved ones in spirit, and those reminders can be anything and at any place.
Things like dragonflies, butterflies, repeated numbers, and certain songs or smells that come out of nowhere can all be signs from a loved one who has died, according to Fraser.
The signs are usually connected to a spirit’s life on earth, Fraser said.
For example, if someone was a fisherman, one way they could reach their loved ones could be through images of anchors of fishing hooks.

If someone was a florist, perhaps their loved ones could randomly smell flowers as a sign from the other side.
And anyone can train themselves to get in touch not only with these signs but also to communicate to the other side, he said.
“The first thing you can do to start developing your own ability is to talk to your loved one – Conversation is a two-way street, and your loved ones can talk to you but it starts with you,” Fraser shared.
Speaking out loud to your loved ones and saying things like “I’m glad you’re watching over me” can open up communication, he added.
“And then, asking them for signs: The best way to communicate with a loved one is to ask them for a sign. you can ask them for two things – a sign and to come through in your dreams,” Fraser concluded.
“When there is a message for you and you’re open to them, and you speak to your loved ones, they will try to get it through to you.”
