Send us a textIn this candid solo episode, I reflect on key lessons from dozens of conversations with videographers over the past 90 days. From the difference between those who are scaling successful video businesses and those who are stuck whining, to the transformative power of reframing client problems, this video is packed with hard-won wisdom.I break down how adopting a business mindset, asking deeper diagnostic questions, and moving away from transactional pricing can unlock long-term client relationships and serious revenue. Real stories from our VBA coaches, like Caleb turning a $5K inquiry into a $27K project, demonstrate the power of positioning video as a solution to business problems, not just a service.Whether you're freelancing, stuck in a feast-or-famine cycle, or looking to grow a serious video business, this episode will give you the insights (and wake-up call) you need.
In Episode 168, Mike Matusow dives into a rollercoaster poker week—down $61K, then clawing back to -$27K with epic hands (10-8 clubs vs. a brutal flush, Kings vs. a “misclick” 10-8). He previews Trump's inauguration (moved indoors—credible threats or cold weather?), skips the $12.5K trip, and rants about NFL refs rigging games (Eagles to win it all?). Plus, crypto woes (Trump's Melania coin tanked his Solana stash). Mike takes calls on his documentary, poker's evolution, and conspiracy-fueled politics.

Largest US Banks I continue to remain optimistic about investing in the large financials, specifically the money center banks. For the most part they trade at good valuations and the recent stress test shows they remain healthy. All 31 of the largest US banks passed the Federal Reserve's annual stress test, which provided a hypothetical scenario where unemployment levels rose to 10%, commercial real estate values decreased by 40% and housing prices fell by 36%. Following the results, the banks released plans to buyback stock and increase dividends. JPMorgan increased its dividend 8.7% and authorized a new $30 B share repurchase program. Jamie Dimon noted the dividend increase marked the second this year for JPM. Citigroup raised its dividend 5.7% and said it would continue to assess share repurchases. Bank of America increased its dividend 8%, but made no mention of share repurchases. Wells Fargo increased its dividend 14% and said it has the capacity to buy back common stock over the four-quarter period starting Q3 2024 through Q2 2025. You likely won't see these stocks double over the next 12 months, but I believe many of them over the next few years could produce sound returns of around 10% when including dividends. Jobs Report The labor market continues to soften, which should be a positive for Fed rate cuts. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 206,000 in the month of June, which was better than the 200,000 estimate but less than the downwardly revised gain of 218,000 in the month of May. Combined, nonfarm payrolls in April and May were reduced by 111,000. Looking under the hood, the report was even weaker than the headline number indicated considering government was the second largest contributor adding 70K jobs in the month. Health care and social assistance continued to lead the way as the sectors added 82.4K jobs and construction was strong as well as it added 27K jobs. Areas of weakness included manufacturing (-8K), retail trade (-8.5k), and professional and business services (-17K). Wage gains also continued to soften as average hourly earnings were up 3.9% year over year. This was below last month's reading of 4.1% and is well below the high in 2022 of 5.9%. The unemployment rate climbed to 4.1%, which tied the highest level since October 2021. Part of the increase in the unemployment rate came from a 0.1 percentage point increase in the labor force participation rate to 62.6%. The so-called prime age rate, which focuses on those between ages 25 and 54, rose to 83.7%, its highest in more than 22 years. While a lot of this report may sound negative, it is important to remember that the labor market is softening from a very strong level. We also need to see the labor market soften to give the Fed more confidence in their ability to cut interest rates. I would say this report was very positive considering it achieved the goal of softening without being damaging. We should keep an eye on the reports moving forward to make sure the labor market doesn't fall off a cliff, but as of right now I don't see that happening. Labor Market In the recent JOLTs report, job openings showed the labor market continues to soften but to a healthy level. Openings stood at 8.1 million in the month of May, which was an increase from 7.9 million in April. While openings have fallen from a record of around 12 million in 2022, they are still above prepandemic levels when they were tracking at just under 7 million. The report showed the number of job openings for each employed worker remained at 1.2. This is below the peak of 2.0 in 2022, but it is right around prepandemic levels. I would not be surprised if we continue to see the labor market soften even a little further. I believe this would be healthy for the economy as it would create a more balanced labor market between employers and employees. Risky Investing I'm very concerned that the bar on risk taking in investing continues to rise. We are already dealing with craziness like GameStop, Roaring Kitty, cryptocurrencies with no real value, and technology companies that have expectations that the earnings will continue to go to the moon. Now add to that list what is known as “zero days to expiration” better known as 0DTE options. These options currently account for nearly half of the daily volume of the S&P 500 index options, more than double the 17% in 2020. These are simply one day options on the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ 100. It is estimated by early 2025 these 0DTE's will be available for individual equities as well. That's unbelievable! There will be sometime in the future that an event will cause wide volatility and many of these gamblers will lose large amounts of money. I'm disappointed that this is being allowed and the SEC and other regulators are letting this happen. I can't believe I'm going to put this in print, but maybe I should send this to Elizabeth Warren. I'm afraid unsuspecting people with money will see on social media some people shouting how they made tens of thousands of dollars one day with small investments. What you won't see is the larger majority of investors losing large sums through this gambling tool. In fact, retail investors lost more than $350,000 on 0DTE options on an average trading day between May 2022 and September 2023. You also won't see the fact that institutional traders with their algorithmic trading and market makers are able to pounce on split second moves, leaving retail investors with the losing crumbs. I'm in hopes sometime down the road we will see these smaller brokerage firms that are pushing the 0DTE's hit with large fines and hopefully forced into bankruptcy. However, in the meantime, these brokerage firms will be bringing in millions and maybe billions of dollars in fees and commissions. There are more portions of the market now that is no longer investing, but more like playing the lottery or gambling and betting on short term movements. In my opinion 0DTE's should be illegal and people gambling like this should lose their money as it is high risk gambling. What concerns me is they will relate it to the stock market and when they lose money they will say the stock market is risky. If you invest in good quality equities and have a time horizon of 3 to 5 years and they have strong fundamentals, stocks are not risky. Unfortunately, many people right now are caught up in the hype and are more into gambling rather than investing. Financial Planning: Reviewing Mid-Year Income Now that we are half way through the year, it can be helpful to review your income to estimate how you will end up by the end of the year and make some adjustments. Maybe you had some unexpected income like extra capital gains or a bonus or perhaps your business had more sales than you were expecting. These increases in income may push you into a higher tax bracket or trigger income-related surcharges like the net investment income tax or IRMAA. More income is better than less, but if this is the case, now is the time to mitigate the tax hit. If you are still working, it may be helpful to increase retirement contributions or change which accounts you are contributing to. If you are retired, you might want to adjust how much you are withdrawing from accounts or adjust which accounts you are withdrawing from. It may also be necessary to adjust your withholdings or make an estimated tax payment if you have not withheld enough so far to prevent extra penalties and interest for underpayment of taxes. With rising rates, the interest for underpayment of taxes is much higher than in years past. Other tax strategies like Roth conversions are better implement at the end of the year, but making mid-year adjustments can help your annual income end up where it needs to be.

The reliability of testing epigenetic DNA methylation using Illumina beadchips is of paramount importance due to the specific intricacies of this technology. Illumina beadchips are widely used platforms for high-throughput epigenetic analysis, employing thousands of probes to measure DNA methylation levels at specific genomic loci. In this week's Everything Epigenetics podcast, Dr. Karen Sugden and I talk about how the reliability of these probes directly impacts the accuracy and validity of the results obtained.Keep in mind that in the context of Illumina beadchips, reliability refers to the consistent and accurate performance of each individual probe across multiple samples and experimental replicates. Each probe is designed to target a specific CpG site, and the methylation signal it generates must be dependable and reproducible.We discuss how reliable probes ensure the accuracy of DNA methylation measurements and how the reliability of probes becomes crucial for reproducibility when conducting large-scale studies using Illumina beadchips, such as epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS).Dr. Sugden and I also discuss how the reliability of probes on Illumina beadchips has implications for cross-study comparisons. For example, if the probes exhibit inconsistent behavior across different experiments or cohorts, it becomes challenging to compare results and draw meaningful insights from combined analyses.Furthermore, we chat about the efficient utilization of resources being linked to probe reliability. Unreliable probes might necessitate repeating experiments or allocating additional resources to validate results, potentially delaying research progress and increasing costs.In the context of epigenetic research, where subtle changes in DNA methylation can hold profound biological significance, the accuracy and consistency of data generated by Illumina beadchips are pivotal. Lastly, we explore Dr. Sugden's current research which includes how epigenetic clocks are associated with cognitive impairment and dementia and marijuana use. In this episode of Everything Epigenetics, you'll learn about: Dr. Karen Sugden's career Reliability and why it mattersHow unreliability arises in epigenetic researchThe process of measuring DNA methylation on Illumina beadchips (or microarrays) Technical errors that could arise when looking at DNA methylationKaren's paper titled “Patterns of Reliability: Assessing the Reproducibility and Integrity of DNA Methylation Measurement”How to untangle data from different beadchips (27K vs. 450K vs. EPIC 850K)What constitutes a reliable probe vs. an unreliable probe How to handle unreliable probesWho is at fault for unreliable probes If reliability is the same for every beadchipHow unreliability impacts epigenetic research How we can deal with unreliabilityThe value of repeated data Creating a “gold standard” work flow for processing epigenetic data How epigenetic clocks associate with cognitive impairment and dementia The connection between epigenetic clocks and marijuanaDr. Sugden's current research investigations Karen Sugden's profile at Duke - https://moffittcaspi.trinity.duke.edu/karen-sugden-0Support the showThank you for joining us at the Everything Epigenetics Podcast and remember you have control over your Epigenetics, so tune in next time to learn more about how.

He was charged with felony theft by taking. The arrest warrant, filed by the Canton Police Department in November, stated that McClinton pocketed cash from customer deposits while working at a Canton area new car dealership.

The station officially went into service on June 11, as announced by the Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services. The addition of this station is expected to significantly reduce response times in that area of Cherokee County. The fire station is currently equipped with one staffed fire engine and has a team of six firefighters assigned to it. The opening of this station follows the county's purchase of a modular home in December, which served as temporary housing for the firefighters until a more permanent station could be constructed. The construction of the fire station is funded by the 2024 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Story 3: firefighters Lt. Dave Burnaugh, a firefighter who has been battling brain and kidney cancer, has returned to his station after a 10-month absence. Firefighters from Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services, along with neighboring departments, gathered at Fire Station 32 to welcome him back. Lt. Burnaugh, a 16-year veteran, fell ill while on duty last year and was later diagnosed with a Stage 3 astrocytoma brain tumor and a Stage 1 kidney tumor. He underwent brain surgery, radiation, kidney surgery, and chemotherapy. The firefighters surprised him with a warm welcome, breakfast, and fellowship, expressing their joy at his improved health and their honor to have him among their ranks.….read more at tribuneledgernews.com Back in a moment Break: ESOG - Drake STORY 4: parks Representatives from Cherokee County and its cities convened at the L.B. "Buzz" Ahrens Recreation Center to discuss ongoing and future recreation and parks projects. The summit aimed to facilitate communication and collaboration among those responsible for planning, funding, and implementing recreational opportunities in the county. Updates were provided by Ball Ground, Canton, Cherokee County, Holly Springs, and Woodstock, while Waleska was absent. Several projects were discussed, including the Long Swamp Creek Recreation Area, the Yellow Creek Road Conservation Area and Trails, a community park near Clark Creek Elementary School, and a park in the Hickory Flat area. The 2024 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) will fund many of these initiatives. Additionally, the impact of past parks bonds and upcoming plans for trail extensions and park improvements were highlighted.

Back with more in a moment Commercial: Elon – Detox - Ingles 10 Story 6: Sumner Former Woodstock track and field star Will Sumner has made a remarkable transition into NCAA competition at the University of Georgia. He recently secured the NCAA outdoor championship in the 800-meter run, setting a school record with a time of 1:44.26 in the finals. Sumner's victory helped Georgia achieve a seventh-place team finish. His time not only broke the stadium record but also placed him fifth on the all-time collegiate list. Sumner became the first freshman to win the NCAA title in the 800 since 2017. He was particularly inspired by Donovan Brazier, the previous freshman champion and an American record-holder. Sumner also earned the SEC's indoor and outdoor Freshman Runner of the Year titles and received first-team All-American honors. Story 7: Baseball Here's an update on some area baseball alums now playing professionally……Etowah alum Drew Waters has returned to the Kansas City Royals in the major leagues after coming off the injured list. Waters has had a slow start with a .184 average, but he recently picked up two hits and an RBI. He is now back to his regular role in the outfield. On the other hand, Sequoyah alum Hunter Gaddis was optioned back to the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians after his third stint with the big-league club. He had a 5.17 ERA in eight appearances. Luke Berryhill, a River Ridge alum, has a six-game hitting streak in Triple-A and has improved his season average to .228. Brennan Milone, former Woodstock star, continues to impress in Single-A with a .280 average, 29 RBIs, and seven home runs. Another former Sequoyah pitcher, Justin Wrobleski, has shown improvement in the minors with a 3.33 ERA and two consecutive scoreless starts for the Great Lakes Loons.

Let's get into it: NEVADA CURRENT:Tribes in six states awarded $73MM in new high-speed internet grants.Three Nevada tribes will receive $11.6 million for high-speed internet, in the latest round of “internet for all” grants, federal officials announced Wednesday.The funding will directly connect more than 800 homes on tribal lands in Nevada to high-speed internet, improving access to education, jobs, and healthcare on tribal lands.Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said“The Biden administration is committed to fostering meaningful partnerships with Tribal Nations, which have been vital to our goal of connecting everyone in America, with affordable, reliable, high-speed Internet service,” So far, about $1.6 billion has been awarded to 121 tribal nations with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that passed last year. Those funds have connected more than 3,100 unserved Native American households that previously had no connectivity to high-speed Internet, as well as businesses and community institutions.These awards are part of a series of commitments the Biden administration announced Wednesday to strengthen nation-to-nation engagement between the federal government and Tribal Nations.The Walker River Paiute Tribe in Mineral County will receive more than $6 million to install fiber internet directly to more than 400 households, 22 community institutions, and 10 tribal businesses. The Duckwater Shoshone Tribe in Nye County is set to receive more than $3 million to install fiber internet to nearly 80 homes and 11 tribal institutions. The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe in Churchill County will be awarded nearly $2 million to directly connect more than 300 households.Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, who has pushed for more broadband funding on tribal lands, praised the announcement Wednesday.“Throughout my time in the Senate, I've worked to make sure Tribes in Nevada have access to critical broadband,” she said. “I made sure these funds would get to Tribes in Nevada in a timely and efficient fashion, and I'm committed to helping Nevadans in every community access the critical educational, business, health care, and cultural resources that the internet provides.”Additionally, the national Affordable Connectivity Program - ACP - provides a discount of $30 per month toward Internet service for eligible households, and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying tribal lands. You're eligible for the benefit If you currently receive SNAP benefits, are on Medicaid, or earn less than 200% of the federal poverty line. That's about $27K for a single person household, or $55K for a family of four.To Apply, visit AffordableConnectivity.govCOLORADO SUN: Colorado Democrats ready to move on gun safety laws.A host of changes to Colorado's gun laws, from a ban on assault weapons to tweaks to the existing red flag law, are already being considered by Democrats at the state Capitol in response to the shooting last month at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. “Pretty much everything is on the table,” according to Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat. “The question now is: What is the highest priority?”Democrats will return to the Colorado Capitol in early January with expanded majorities in both the House and Senate, and facing pressure to act after the state's latest mass shooting. Five people were killed and more than a dozen others wounded in a Nov. 19 attack on Club Q, allegedly carried out by a 22-year-old shooter armed with a semi-automatic, AR-15-style rifle.“Tay” Anderson, a Denver School board member, posted on Twitter that Democrats should immediately use their majority at the Capitol to pass an assault weapons ban.Saying “If folks refuse to act, vote them out,”Senate President Fenberg, who said gun control conversations were underway even before the Club Q shootings, said a ban on assault weapons is certainly a possibility. The challenge is figuring out how to write the law - how to define what an assault weapon is, what should happen to weapons already in the possession of Colorado residents, and how to address people traveling through Colorado to neighboring states where the weapons are permitted. It's more likely that Democrats pursue other changes to Colorado's gun laws first, such as raising the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun to 21 from 18. The minimum age to purchase handguns in Colorado is already 21. Sen. Tom Sullivan, a Centennial Democrat, is working on changing the minimum age to purchase a gun. He initially wanted to raise the age only for so-called assault weapons, but thinks a broader change would be easier. “That will save us having to come up with a definition of what assault weapons are,” said Sullivan, whose son, Alex, was murdered in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. “And that seems to be the consensus that we're hearing from the rest of the Democratic caucus.”There are also discussions about enacting a waiting period that looks like those passed in California and Hawaii, which have 10- and 14-day waiting periods, respectively. Illinois has a 72-hour waiting period after purchases a firearm, before they can access it.Colorado already requires universal background checks on all gun purchases, and has laws limiting gun magazines to 15 rounds, and requiring the safe storage of firearms. People whose guns are lost or stolen must make a report with law enforcement, as well, and there is a statute temporarily barring people convicted of certain violent misdemeanors from purchasing firearms.Colorado counties and municipalities are also now allowed to enact gun regulations that are more stringent than the state's policies after the legislature in 2021 repealed a preemption law.When it comes to Colorado's red flag law, a 2019 policy that lets judges order the temporary seizure of firearms from people deemed a significant risk to themselves or others - legislators might expand the list of who can petition a judge to initiate a red flag proceeding. Right now, law enforcement and family members are effectively the only groups allowed to petition a judge to order a seizure. Gov. Jared Polis has expressed support for adding district attorneys to the list, and others have suggested the attorney general's office, and teachers should be allowed to request seizures as well. The Colorado legislature reconvenes on Jan. 9.COLORADO NEWSLINE: $35 insulin price cap coming to Medicare in January.A recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report showed drug companies increased prices for several drugs by more than 500% since 2016. But starting next month, a $35 cap on insulin prices will go into effect for millions of Medicare recipients. The lower pricing is one of the first of several policy measures Americans will see under the Inflation Reduction Act, passed without a single Republican vote and signed into law in August.The insulin cap benefits Medicare Part D recipients, who also no longer have to meet a deductible on their insulin. A $35 cap on insulin pumps for Medicare Part B recipients goes into effect July 1, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Medicare patients spent $1 billion on insulin in 2020, and an estimated 16.5% of people with diabetes rationed their insulin in the past year, which can be extremely harmful to their health or even fatal.According to an analysis of the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act from the Center for American Progress, an elderly middle class couple could save as much as $2,400 per year on insulin.ARIZONA MIRROR: AZ SOS Katie Hobbs recommends criminal prosecutions for Cochise County supervisors who refused to certify their election results. Hobbs wrote to Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre, that without repercussions, the decision of supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd not to certify their results could encourage future violations, further eroding election integrity in the state, and stomping on the will of Arizona voters. “Supervisors Crosby and Judd's actions not only demonstrate a complete disregard for the law but also jeopardize Arizona's democracy,” she wrote. “Had a court not intervened, the failure of these two Supervisors to uphold their duty would have disenfranchised thousands of Cochise County voters. This blatant act of defying Arizona's election laws risks establishing a dangerous precedent that we must discourage.” Crosby and Judd threw the Arizona state certification process into disarray last month, when they delayed their official canvassing of the midterm election results in Cochise County, citing bogus claims that electronic tabulators didn't meet required standards. It was only after a court ordered them to complete their statutorily mandated duties that they did so on Dec. 1, days after the Nov. 28 deadline. Their actions put the official statewide canvass in jeopardy, as Hobbs must meet a Dec. 5 deadline to certify the results. She can only push that deadline as far as Dec. 8. If she decided to go ahead with the process without the results from Cochise County, a heavily Republican region, more than 47,000 voters could have seen their ballots ignored and a number of races would have flipped in favor of Democratic candidates. The responsibilities of county supervisors are clearly laid out in state law and the state's Election Procedures Manual, Hobbs said, and they are non-negotiable. And, Crosby and Judd were given ample notification of the consequences.“Supervisors Crosby and Judd knew they had a statutory requirement to canvass the election by November 28, but instead chose to act in violation of the law, putting false election narratives ahead of Cochise County's voters,” Hobbs wrote. Hobbs, who was elected governor in the election, wrote that the two Republicans violated several state laws, with penalties ranging from a class 3 misdemeanor to a class 6 felony. If Crosby and Judd were convicted of a felony, their right to vote would be revoked. They also stand to lose their elected office: State law deems an elected office vacant if the officeholder is convicted of a felony or any “offense involving a violation of the person's official duties”. This is the second call for an investigation into the Supervisors possibly criminal acts - Earlier this week, former Attorney General Terry Goddard and Maricopa County Attorney Richard Romley wrote to outgoing AG Brnovich requesting he hold Crosby and Judd accountable.It's likely that Attorney General-elect Kris Mayes will make the final decision on whether to prosecute, once she takes office in January. In a statement, she said she agrees with the request from Hobbs' office to begin an investigation, and said that it is through that process that a decision on what further response, if any, is appropriate.COURTHOUSE NEWS SERVICE: Didn't we do this aJustices signal support for web designer who won't help gay couples with weddingsThe conservative majority appeared ready to answer a question the high court dodged four years ago: Must creative businesses put aside their religious beliefs to accommodate the beliefs of protected groups? WASHINGTON (CN) — A six-year crusade came to a head at the Supreme Court on Monday, pitting Colorado's nondiscrimination law against a Christian website designer who refuses to create wedding websites for same-sex couples. It was unsurprising that the narrow question at the center of the case perplexed many of the justices, since the high court passed up on answering it only four years ago. In Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the court ruled in favor of a cakemaker refusing his services to a same-sex couple, but declined to expand the ruling much beyond the case in front of them. Lorie Smith's case brings that topic to a head. Stating that her Christian beliefs confine marriage only to heterosexual couples, Smith argues that Colorado's anti-discrimination laws - protecting LGBTQ+ Coloradans as well as others - violate her free speech rights. Smith's attorney argued that “Colorado is declaring her speech a public accommodation, and insists that she create and speak messages that violate her conscience.” After two and a half hours of arguments, the conservative majority appeared inclined to agree.The liberal wing of the court expressed concern that a ruling for Smith could snowball into a free speech loophole allowing discrimination. Justice Sonia Sotomayor questioned where the court would draw the line, on what kind of discrimination would be permitted - noting that the same arguments could be made for interracial marriage or even for excluding people with disabilities. The hypothetical-heavy arguments included almost every culture-wars issue on the books including discrimination on race, religion, sexual orientation and political preference. These scenarios conveyed a worry by some justices about how far even a narrow ruling in the case could extend. Colorado Solicitor General Eric Olson said Smith's request for a free-speech exemption clause to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act would equate to a “license to discriminate.” “The free speech protection the company seeks here is sweeping, because it would apply not just to sincerely held religious beliefs as in this case, but also to all sorts of racist, sexist and bigoted views,” Olson said. “This rule would allow another web design company to say no to interracial couples, an ad agency could refuse to run ads for women-led businesses, and a tech consulting company could refuse to serve the web designer here, because it disagreed with her views on marriage. Where exactly to draw the line between free speech and anti-discrimination laws eluded many of the justices. This was partly because Smith brought the justices a preenforcement suit - she filed her suit against the state of Colorado before any same-sex couple actually requested her services. This creates difficulties for the justices in deciding a ruling. Justice Elena Kagan said the reason for the multitude of hypotheticals during oral argument was due to the lack of facts in the case - which make the justices' ruling all the more difficult. Kagan said “It really depends on the facts, and on what exactly Ms. Smith is being asked or compelled to do.”I could definitely be wrong, but as far as I can tell, the actual free speech claim isn't really justiciable without a real action from the state against the business owner. Seems like it's not ripe, as they say.But the court, in its infinite power, could rule on whether the 1st Amendment Free Speech clause of the Constitution provides an out for companies looking to discriminate against certain customers. You might be thinking, doesn't the U.S. Constitution protect all Americans from discrimination based on sex? It does - but that protection only applies to discriminatory actions by the state. So the state can't deny you a marriage license because of your sex or your partner's sex. The state can't deny you employment or throw you in jail, either - anymore.Here, it's a business that wants the right to turn away same-sex couples, and the state is looking to enforce a state anti-discrimination law - which may or may not conflict with the business owner's protected free speech.It's not a slam dunk that the conservative Supreme Court will rule for the anti-gay web designer, though. No small number of right-wing attorneys have made their entire careers using anti-discrimination laws on behalf of white people, to unravel protections for marginalized groups. If college admissions boards, for example, decide that admitting too many white students is not the ‘statement' they want to make - the ruling against the gay couple might undermine its own rulings on affirmative action practices.The Supreme Court has a highly interesting - and highly secretive - process of passing opinions back and forth to each other. Picking apart each other's arguments, and putting their heads together before the actual ruling comes out. We won't get much of a picture into that, but you can bet this year's Supreme Court clerks are going to be busy.

Let's get into it: NEVADA CURRENT:Tribes in six states awarded $73MM in new high-speed internet grants.Three Nevada tribes will receive $11.6 million for high-speed internet, in the latest round of “internet for all” grants, federal officials announced Wednesday.The funding will directly connect more than 800 homes on tribal lands in Nevada to high-speed internet, improving access to education, jobs, and healthcare on tribal lands.Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said“The Biden administration is committed to fostering meaningful partnerships with Tribal Nations, which have been vital to our goal of connecting everyone in America, with affordable, reliable, high-speed Internet service,” So far, about $1.6 billion has been awarded to 121 tribal nations with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that passed last year. Those funds have connected more than 3,100 unserved Native American households that previously had no connectivity to high-speed Internet, as well as businesses and community institutions.These awards are part of a series of commitments the Biden administration announced Wednesday to strengthen nation-to-nation engagement between the federal government and Tribal Nations.The Walker River Paiute Tribe in Mineral County will receive more than $6 million to install fiber internet directly to more than 400 households, 22 community institutions, and 10 tribal businesses. The Duckwater Shoshone Tribe in Nye County is set to receive more than $3 million to install fiber internet to nearly 80 homes and 11 tribal institutions. The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe in Churchill County will be awarded nearly $2 million to directly connect more than 300 households.Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, who has pushed for more broadband funding on tribal lands, praised the announcement Wednesday.“Throughout my time in the Senate, I've worked to make sure Tribes in Nevada have access to critical broadband,” she said. “I made sure these funds would get to Tribes in Nevada in a timely and efficient fashion, and I'm committed to helping Nevadans in every community access the critical educational, business, health care, and cultural resources that the internet provides.”Additionally, the national Affordable Connectivity Program - ACP - provides a discount of $30 per month toward Internet service for eligible households, and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying tribal lands. You're eligible for the benefit If you currently receive SNAP benefits, are on Medicaid, or earn less than 200% of the federal poverty line. That's about $27K for a single person household, or $55K for a family of four.To Apply, visit AffordableConnectivity.govCOLORADO SUN: Colorado Democrats ready to move on gun safety laws.A host of changes to Colorado's gun laws, from a ban on assault weapons to tweaks to the existing red flag law, are already being considered by Democrats at the state Capitol in response to the shooting last month at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. “Pretty much everything is on the table,” according to Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat. “The question now is: What is the highest priority?”Democrats will return to the Colorado Capitol in early January with expanded majorities in both the House and Senate, and facing pressure to act after the state's latest mass shooting. Five people were killed and more than a dozen others wounded in a Nov. 19 attack on Club Q, allegedly carried out by a 22-year-old shooter armed with a semi-automatic, AR-15-style rifle.“Tay” Anderson, a Denver School board member, posted on Twitter that Democrats should immediately use their majority at the Capitol to pass an assault weapons ban.Saying “If folks refuse to act, vote them out,”Senate President Fenberg, who said gun control conversations were underway even before the Club Q shootings, said a ban on assault weapons is certainly a possibility. The challenge is figuring out how to write the law - how to define what an assault weapon is, what should happen to weapons already in the possession of Colorado residents, and how to address people traveling through Colorado to neighboring states where the weapons are permitted. It's more likely that Democrats pursue other changes to Colorado's gun laws first, such as raising the minimum age to purchase a rifle or shotgun to 21 from 18. The minimum age to purchase handguns in Colorado is already 21. Sen. Tom Sullivan, a Centennial Democrat, is working on changing the minimum age to purchase a gun. He initially wanted to raise the age only for so-called assault weapons, but thinks a broader change would be easier. “That will save us having to come up with a definition of what assault weapons are,” said Sullivan, whose son, Alex, was murdered in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. “And that seems to be the consensus that we're hearing from the rest of the Democratic caucus.”There are also discussions about enacting a waiting period that looks like those passed in California and Hawaii, which have 10- and 14-day waiting periods, respectively. Illinois has a 72-hour waiting period after purchases a firearm, before they can access it.Colorado already requires universal background checks on all gun purchases, and has laws limiting gun magazines to 15 rounds, and requiring the safe storage of firearms. People whose guns are lost or stolen must make a report with law enforcement, as well, and there is a statute temporarily barring people convicted of certain violent misdemeanors from purchasing firearms.Colorado counties and municipalities are also now allowed to enact gun regulations that are more stringent than the state's policies after the legislature in 2021 repealed a preemption law.When it comes to Colorado's red flag law, a 2019 policy that lets judges order the temporary seizure of firearms from people deemed a significant risk to themselves or others - legislators might expand the list of who can petition a judge to initiate a red flag proceeding. Right now, law enforcement and family members are effectively the only groups allowed to petition a judge to order a seizure. Gov. Jared Polis has expressed support for adding district attorneys to the list, and others have suggested the attorney general's office, and teachers should be allowed to request seizures as well. The Colorado legislature reconvenes on Jan. 9.COLORADO NEWSLINE: $35 insulin price cap coming to Medicare in January.A recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report showed drug companies increased prices for several drugs by more than 500% since 2016. But starting next month, a $35 cap on insulin prices will go into effect for millions of Medicare recipients. The lower pricing is one of the first of several policy measures Americans will see under the Inflation Reduction Act, passed without a single Republican vote and signed into law in August.The insulin cap benefits Medicare Part D recipients, who also no longer have to meet a deductible on their insulin. A $35 cap on insulin pumps for Medicare Part B recipients goes into effect July 1, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Medicare patients spent $1 billion on insulin in 2020, and an estimated 16.5% of people with diabetes rationed their insulin in the past year, which can be extremely harmful to their health or even fatal.According to an analysis of the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act from the Center for American Progress, an elderly middle class couple could save as much as $2,400 per year on insulin.ARIZONA MIRROR: AZ SOS Katie Hobbs recommends criminal prosecutions for Cochise County supervisors who refused to certify their election results. Hobbs wrote to Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre, that without repercussions, the decision of supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd not to certify their results could encourage future violations, further eroding election integrity in the state, and stomping on the will of Arizona voters. “Supervisors Crosby and Judd's actions not only demonstrate a complete disregard for the law but also jeopardize Arizona's democracy,” she wrote. “Had a court not intervened, the failure of these two Supervisors to uphold their duty would have disenfranchised thousands of Cochise County voters. This blatant act of defying Arizona's election laws risks establishing a dangerous precedent that we must discourage.” Crosby and Judd threw the Arizona state certification process into disarray last month, when they delayed their official canvassing of the midterm election results in Cochise County, citing bogus claims that electronic tabulators didn't meet required standards. It was only after a court ordered them to complete their statutorily mandated duties that they did so on Dec. 1, days after the Nov. 28 deadline. Their actions put the official statewide canvass in jeopardy, as Hobbs must meet a Dec. 5 deadline to certify the results. She can only push that deadline as far as Dec. 8. If she decided to go ahead with the process without the results from Cochise County, a heavily Republican region, more than 47,000 voters could have seen their ballots ignored and a number of races would have flipped in favor of Democratic candidates. The responsibilities of county supervisors are clearly laid out in state law and the state's Election Procedures Manual, Hobbs said, and they are non-negotiable. And, Crosby and Judd were given ample notification of the consequences.“Supervisors Crosby and Judd knew they had a statutory requirement to canvass the election by November 28, but instead chose to act in violation of the law, putting false election narratives ahead of Cochise County's voters,” Hobbs wrote. Hobbs, who was elected governor in the election, wrote that the two Republicans violated several state laws, with penalties ranging from a class 3 misdemeanor to a class 6 felony. If Crosby and Judd were convicted of a felony, their right to vote would be revoked. They also stand to lose their elected office: State law deems an elected office vacant if the officeholder is convicted of a felony or any “offense involving a violation of the person's official duties”. This is the second call for an investigation into the Supervisors possibly criminal acts - Earlier this week, former Attorney General Terry Goddard and Maricopa County Attorney Richard Romley wrote to outgoing AG Brnovich requesting he hold Crosby and Judd accountable.It's likely that Attorney General-elect Kris Mayes will make the final decision on whether to prosecute, once she takes office in January. In a statement, she said she agrees with the request from Hobbs' office to begin an investigation, and said that it is through that process that a decision on what further response, if any, is appropriate.COURTHOUSE NEWS SERVICE: Didn't we do this aJustices signal support for web designer who won't help gay couples with weddingsThe conservative majority appeared ready to answer a question the high court dodged four years ago: Must creative businesses put aside their religious beliefs to accommodate the beliefs of protected groups? WASHINGTON (CN) — A six-year crusade came to a head at the Supreme Court on Monday, pitting Colorado's nondiscrimination law against a Christian website designer who refuses to create wedding websites for same-sex couples. It was unsurprising that the narrow question at the center of the case perplexed many of the justices, since the high court passed up on answering it only four years ago. In Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the court ruled in favor of a cakemaker refusing his services to a same-sex couple, but declined to expand the ruling much beyond the case in front of them. Lorie Smith's case brings that topic to a head. Stating that her Christian beliefs confine marriage only to heterosexual couples, Smith argues that Colorado's anti-discrimination laws - protecting LGBTQ+ Coloradans as well as others - violate her free speech rights. Smith's attorney argued that “Colorado is declaring her speech a public accommodation, and insists that she create and speak messages that violate her conscience.” After two and a half hours of arguments, the conservative majority appeared inclined to agree.The liberal wing of the court expressed concern that a ruling for Smith could snowball into a free speech loophole allowing discrimination.

Sony Projectors Something to Consider for Your Home Theater Sony recently announced three new projectors (VPL-XW7000ES, VPL-XW6000ES and the VPL-XW5000ES) which range in price from $27K at the high end and $6K for the 5000ES. All three are SXRD panels with native 4K resolution. All three use the X1 Ultimate image processing. And all three use a laser light source that should last more than ten years if you watch your projector five hours a day. A typical projector uses a lamp that would need to be replaced ten times in the time the Sony laser would last. They typically cost $50 to $100 depending on your projector, so over time this adds up! Plus the laser is much brighter so if you want to watch on a larger screen or in a room with ambient light these projectors have the chops to do so. We have not seen these projectors in person but we have seen the previous versions when we were invited to a presentation at Sony Pictures in Culver City. What we saw at that time was quite impressive and those did not have the X1 Ultimate processor. If I (Ara) were building a dedicated theater today it would include the 5000ES. But only because I can't afford the 6000 or 7000.
