CapRadio updates what's happening with the State Capitol annex project. This week's episode of “Mid Pacific” explores Asian American enclaves or “towns.” Insight's “Concert Connect” lays out live music to check out in Northern California.   State Capitol Annex updates

At the center of Sovereign Man's core ethos is the indisputable view that the United States is in decline. I take absolutely zero pleasure in writing that statement. But it's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to objectively appraise the bountiful evidence at hand and not reach the same conclusion. Consider the following: US government finances are appallingly bad. The national debt exceeds 100% of GDP, annual deficits run into the trillions of dollars with no end in sight, and major trust funds for Social Security and Medicare will soon run out of money. Political incompetence is mind-blowing; politicians fail to be able to even identify problems, let alone understand them, let alone reach compromises to solve them. Ditto for central bank incompetence. These people simply cannot understand how, by keeping interest rates at zero for nearly a decade and conjuring trillions of dollars out of thin air, they engineered record high inflation. And they also fail to understand how their actions to ‘fix' inflation are causing widespread havoc in the economy and financial system. Social divisions across the country are extreme. Censorship and cancel culture prevail, and corporations now wag their fingers at their own customers to “be better”. The education system is in pitiful shape, with many politicians and school board officials turning classrooms into activist training camps. The population is terribly unhealthy. Obesity and drug addiction are epidemics. Plus there's an obvious mental health crisis that drives far too many people to commit horrific acts of violence on innocent people, including children. National security is in decline. Military readiness is down, yet top officials seem more concerned about diversity and inclusion rather than the ability to prevail in war. The rule of law has been perverted, including for political purposes and self-aggrandizement. We just saw another example of this yesterday. Even the national fertility rate continues plummeting-- an indication of the rising cost of living and social apathy. The Wall Street Journal recently published a series of polls indicating that most Americans doubt their children will have a better future; pessimism is strong. They also found that certain values which once defined American culture, including a sense of community, hard work, and civility, are no longer important to the majority of people. This is all happening at a time when adversaries are circling. And that includes China. Now, usually whenever I bring up China, there are always people who are quick to assert that China cannot possibly replace the US as the dominant superpower because they have just as many problems. And it's true that China has a ton of problems. They have their own debt issues, financial system chaos, and economic problems. They have social challenges, a major demographic crisis, and even a serious issue with childhood obesity. But no civilization or empire throughout history has ever been problem-free. Ancient Rome, even during its early republic days, had enormous problems. They had to deal with constant revolts, civil war, the genocidal dictatorship of Sulla, famine, war, plague, and more. Yet there's an enormous difference between taking on challenges while you're on the rise… versus succumbing to them while on the way down. Rome was able to deal with its challenges and continue its rise to become the dominant superpower. China may be able to do the same. The US finds itself in a precarious position where they have a mountain of compounding problems… and no ability to even slow them down, let alone solve them. I've written before about what I call the “Four Forces of Decline”, which I define as 1) Forces of History-- the inevitable, cyclical nature in the rise and fall of Empire. No empire, no civilization in human history has ever retained the top spot forever, and most tend to experience similar challenges on the way down.

Season 17, Episode 14: Brew Session (Shining Shoal) + Lord of the Rings First Look Shining Shoal is well on its way to becoming a Modern staple. It provides massive swings in a red-heavy metagame and generally terrorizes the combat step against creature decks. It is also one of the trickier cards in the format, both in understanding its niche interactions and in finding the correct shell to harness its power. Today on Faithless Brewing we welcome special guest Lawson Zandi (Zanman on MTGO) who has played some 50 leagues with Shining Shoal in various configurations, stacking up trophies in the process. Lawson explains the strengths and weaknesses of the original Shining Humans list with Chancellor of the Annex, the transition to Hatebears and Taxes strategies using Ondu Inversion, and the possibilities of Leyline Binding in a “5 color Mono White” manabase. We also take a first look at The One Ring (which one co-host describes as “the most powerful planeswalker legal in Modern”) and track new developments with Atraxa, Grand Unifier.

In today's episode of The Annex, we discuss the inner world of political campaigns with Daniel Laurison (Swarthmore). Daniel is the author of Producing Politics: Inside the Exclusive Campaign World Where the Privileged Few Shape Politics for All of Us (Penguin).

You may recall that we sipped Annex Ale Project's Easy Answers Pale Ale when we recorded our Crypto vs Climate episode back in Season 3.  Little did we know that would be the start of a fun and productive relationship with the good folks at Annex Ales.  And now the beer is here, we're proud to introduce our very own Energy vs Climate Session Ale, the beer that remembers to turn off the lights when it leaves the room.To celebrate, we made a bonus episode taking you behind the scenes of brewing the beer. Keeping with the Energy vs Climate program, Annex Ale Project brewed this beer using alt techniques that minimize energy input while maintaining maximum flavour output. Following the initial boil, cool, and subsequent in-tank dilution, Annex dry-hopped with Vic Secret and Lemondrop to achieve a delicious, pleasantly piney resinous aroma—super on-brand with what we assume to be Mother Nature's vibe.All proceeds from EvC Session Ale go towards increasing the brewery's energy efficiency, so cheers to new lighting and improved circulation!And stay tuned for the second half of EvC Season Four, coming in early March 2023.energyvsclimate.com@EnergyvsClimate

In today's episode of The Annex, Daniel Morrison (Abilene Christian University) sits down with Seth Abrutyn (University of British Columbia) and Omar Lizardo (UCLA) to discuss classical sociological theory and their Handbook of Classical Sociological Theory (Springer).

In today's episode of The Annex, we discuss how Americans misunderstand China and its political system. We imagine a society in which the government controls what people know and what they say. We hear about government filters and censorship, and how democracy activists are punished for their speech. But is it all so simple? In this episode of The Annex Live, we will sit down to learn the details of China's political and government system with two experts. Ya-Wen Lei (Harvard University) is is the author of The Contentious Public Sphere: Law, Media, and Authoritarian Rule in China (Princeton University Press), a book that examines the development of the Chinese public sphere through during the Internet revolution. Emily Chua (National University of Singapore) is the author of the upcoming The Currency of Truth: Newsmaking and the Late-Socialist Imaginaries of China's Digital Era (University of Michigan Press), a book about the detailed inner workings of the Chinese media and how these relationships shape journalism and governance in that country.

Episode 61 of ourMake Dance Fun Podcast is Part 2 of our A Typical Day in our (Studio) Life. In Episode 56, we covered Mondays and Tuesdays, so this episode will detail what Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look like! These last three days of our “normal” work week usually vary more than our Monday and Tuesday schedule, but we do have a general structure, so we are going to do our best to share this with you guys! Wednesday: Confetti Meeting led by Shelley around 9:30a.m.  Ellie joins sometimes, tooReserve at least a portion of this day for various Confetti projects, marketing campaigns, creative work, brainstorming, creating presentations, working on Camp Confetti depending on time of yearWork from our office at Annex on any various projects we have going on for Rhythm or Confetti until around 3 or 3:30. Go home at a normal hour on this day and sometimes very early and work from home. This is also a podcast day when time allows! And, we do our podcast recordings from home since we don't have a quiet area at the studio! Thursday:Admin Meeting with Shelley and Krista. We are currently working on putting new systems in place and this is requiring extra time, so we typically meet to work on this and/or anything else that Krista or Shelley needs from us.Occasional marketing meetings as well!Work on our individual to-do lists in BasecampThursday afternoon/evening - sometimes at Annex and most the time we will end the day at Rhythm for costume meetings or rehearsals. During Competition and Convention Season,  we hold our Spirit Sesh and final rehearsals at Rhythm on Thursdays (usually a late night during competition season). We spend Thursday nights packing up and loading for the weekend as they almost always start early Friday morning. In theory, this is only once per month, but it feels like it's an every week thing when you are in it! From September - March, we are very busy with our custom costumes from design meetings to searching for fabric, meeting with Beth for our sample meetings and fittings. This takes place on all days, but because Wednesday and Thursday are more flexible, it's most often on those two days! FridaysCatch all/Catch up day. Hold any necessary meetings with Emily as she's at the desk most of the day. It's a day that not too many people are reaching out to us or asking many questions, so we are usually able to get things done.Meet with Ellie, our assistant and project manager Confetti Photo and Video Shoots  - If we are having a photo or video shoot, it usually starts mid-late afternoon (when school is out) and goes until we get it done. We almost always start setting up anything we can on Thursday evening, but this has been a challenge that we are still trying to figure out. Crafting and creating wallsObviously, we adjust each day as needed, but that's what our weekdays typically look like. We hope you've found this to be helpful in some way when mapping out your week!Let's Get Social!

Steve Scaffidi and Carole Caine talk with Dave Spano, CEO of Annex Wealth Management, to talk about how bad news is good for markers and more!

Ymir by Rich Larson, was one of our favorite science fiction books we read in the summer of 2022. Locus Magazine wrote glowingly of Rich: "If one tried to engineer a young writer who would embody all the core values, tactics, and ambiance of Classic SF while still conveying ultra-contemporary attitudes, ambiance, and affect, one could hardly produce a better candidate than Rich Larson"Rich was born in Niger and has lived in Grand Prairie, Alberta in Canada, Spain and the Czech Republic. Rich considers himself to be a speculative fiction author. He has written over 200 short stories and 2 novels Ymir and Annex, as well as the collection Tomorrow Factory.  His short story “Ice” was adapted into an Emmy-winning episode of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS (available on Netflix).Ymir (published by Orbit Books) is imaginative and compelling. It's a far future story of a despised prodigal returning to his icy home world of Ymir to track down a sapient war machine, break a mining strike and to confront the last person he ever wanted to see again—the brother who sent him off in pieces twenty years ago. By the way, when you check out the marketing it calls the novel a "retelling of Beowulf".  Rich told us prior to recording that his publisher asked him what his next novel will be and he quickly replied "Beowulf in space" and it stuck with them. There is absolutely no need to read or refresh yourself on Beowulf. Well, just remember that Grendel is a monster  (Also a terrific novel by John Gardner and an excellent restaurant and bar in Cambridge, MA!)And for those who don't want to jump into a new series, Ymir is a stand-alone novel. We think it will make a breathtaking film one day. We spoke to Rich in Montreal, Canada.Rich Larsonhttps://richwlarson.tumblr.com/Patreon Site: https://bit.ly/3jKSE5TYmir by Rich Larsonhttps://richwlarson.tumblr.com/ymirhttps://www.hachettebookgroup.com/?s=ymirProduction Note: Jake and Ron originally spoke to Rich Larson in August 2022.

In episode 56, we talk about the structure of our weekly schedule, who is responsible for what and and how we get things done! This episode we break down Mondays and Tuesdays!  Our schedules are constantly changing, but we do try to start with a plan and adjust as needed. We have to divide and conquer in order to really check things off the long list of to-do's.Monday is our most consistent day of the week as far as a schedule goes. 10 a.m. - Meet with just the two of us to prepare for our executive leadership team meeting and plan  the rest of the week12:30 p.m. -  ELT meeting in person at studio 2:30 p.m.  - check things off our lists, eat lunch3:30-9:30 teach classes We do have a couple breaks between classes, so we are always using that time to get back to the to-do list. Get emails sent, work on costuming, whatever can get done in a short amount of time while we are there and in full-out work mode.Dani's list: Event logistics  Communications (usually via email) with all our performing company families. Proofing email drafts  CraftingGuest artist coordinationBecca's list: Unpredictable creative tasks Social mediaMarketing graphics, images, concepting, design Creative visionary for all things Tuesday: Our "first day of the week" to get things done.  9:30 a.m. - meet with each other via Zoom to map out our day. 10:00 a.m. -  2:30p.m.- Other meetings like our meetings with our Google Ad company, production company meetings, financial advisor,  Studio Manager Krista,  marketing team meetings, Performing Company Directors, costume planning (meetings, fabric shopping, design), check ins with Ellie and Shelley. After these meetings are done and classes begin, there are several scenarios that could happen on Tuesdays:After meetings, Dani and I usually switch gears and head into our office or home and work on individual to-dos. We may have a crafting project or meeting for Rhythm or Confetti that we would stay and work on in the staff room at annexWe sometimes schedule rehearsals that we run at Annex as there are open studios there - so those would usually start around 6:00 and we will just work in our office until then.Head back to Rhythm - if we have a Guest Artist in town or if there is a Company rehearsal that we may need to be present for at Rhythm! So, as you can see Tuesdays are all over the place but it is the first day of the week that we can really “MAKE THINGS HAPPEN” and they are ever changing but usually very productive days! No matter how much we plan, it is usually derailed. Our number one job is problem solving and believe we are really good at this. As a leader, it is the thing you have to be AMAZING at! Like all studio owners, we deal with lots of crazy and dilemmas and  do creative problem solving EVERY SINGLE DAY. We hope you enjoyed getting a little insight into our work days.

Today's episode of The Annex discusses the sociology of science, knowledge, and technology, with a focus on J.P Pardo-Guerra's new book, The Quantified Scholar (2022, Columbia University Press). This book examines modern British efforts to improve research through the development of quantitative metrics and metric-related incentive systems, and how this scheme altered the behavior of scientists and academic departments. The study stands as one example of modern sociology's efforts to understand how the organization and incentivization of scientists affect the character of how scientists do their work and what kind of information gets produced. Our banter discusses America's largest sociology departments. Panelists include: JP Pardo-Guerra (UC San Diego)Charles J. Gomez (Arizona)Joseph N. Cohen (CUNY Queens College)Daniel R. Morrison (Abilene Christian)

Tyler and Megan reflect on season 2 and struggle to remember what they did and did not talk about already.

Russia looks increasingly isolated on the world stage. The General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn Russia's attempted annexation of Ukrainian territory and called on it to reverse the move.

Lafayette Parish Sheriff Mark Garber joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his career and the scope of responsibilities of his office. He is the 27th Sheriff to serve Lafayette and has served in that capacity since January 2016. A native of Iota, Sheriff Garber graduated from LSU-BR and SMU Law School in Dallas. While in undergrad school, he worked with the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office as a dispatcher before moving up to corrections. He then worked as a game warden with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Sheriff Garber joined the City of Arlington, TX Police Department where he spent ten years, being chosen for the prestigious motorcycle unit. He also gained enforcement experience in patrol, traffic enforcement, field training, police sniper, and SWAT (Special Operations). It was while Sheriff Garber worked in Arlington that he realized he wanted a Ph.D. level education and pursued law studies. He jokingly recalled if he knew how hard it would be to juggle so many responsibilities he may not have chosen law school; but he did well and looked at each law course as a financial investment as he had to put himself through school, not qualifying for assistance due to his income as a police officer. Sheriff Garber next served in the U. S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations as a Civilian Special Agent, Criminal Investigator in Iraq, earning a Bronze Star Medal for his actions. His time in Iraq included deployment as a Battlefield Interrogator which put him in the war zone alongside frontline shooters. He recounted that he spent several tough weeks at Fort Huachuca in Arizona learning prescribed interrogation techniques and was able to meld them with his own experiences and talents from serving in law enforcement. On his service in Iraq, Sheriff Mark Garber said, "Your perspective changes when you work with people who are getting killed. You want to survive and you want to protect each other. That's what the goal is. But I never saw circumstances where torture would produce reliable information to give to a ground commander that could be trusted. I preferred other methods. My role was to give advice and to get senior leadership of al-Qaeda taken out." Upon returning to the U. S. Sheriff Garber continued service with the U. S. Secret Service, then returned to Lafayette where he served as an Assistant DA prosecuting felonies for the 15th JDC before being elected in 2015 to serve as Sheriff. This year, in 2022, Sheriff Garber became an FBI National Academy Graduate. Lafayette's Sheriff is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Parish under the Louisiana Constitution. The Sheriff shares jurisdictions with the other cities' police departments (Broussard, Carencro, Duson, Lafayette, Scott, Youngsville.) Its Narcotics Division works extensively with the Lafayette City Police Department. When needed, the other police departments call upon the Sheriff for assistance and resources. "What are our core functions to serve the community? We incarcerate people. We investigate crimes. We answer calls for service. These are the three pillars of our service that directly influence and affect safety. Safety is our basic need and you can't engage in commerce or education until you are secure. That's our #1 concern." When Sheriff Garber took office in 2016, there were 900 prisoners being housed in the downtown Jail, a facility designed to hold about 300. "People were sleeping in unsecured common areas. The overcrowding led to health issues and staff morale was low. Garber implemented strict protocols to turn around the situation and improve safety for all. Today the jail holds approximately 600 prisoners and the Sheriff's Annex can hold about 150 individuals. We spoke of the backlog of untried criminal cases as a result of the COVID shutdown. Garber pointed out that Pre-Covid, these cases were already way behind, and then the district court was shut down for 18 months.

Florida first responders and volunteers begin rescue and clean-up efforts after Hurricane Ian battered cities across the state. Now downgraded to a tropical storm, Ian continues to drench the state as it moves north toward South Carolina. More than 600,000 Duke Energy customers remain without power following the storm. NOAA aerospace engineer Nick Underwood recounts his experience flying into the eye of Hurricane Ian. Russia is moving to annex four Ukrainian territories after conducting staged referendums in the region earlier this week.

Vladimir Putin will hold a signing ceremony on Friday after self-styled referendums. Also: Hurricane Ian has weakened into a tropical storm as it moves across Florida but it's still drenching the peninsula in rain, and the new British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, has insisted that her government's controversial budget makes good economic sense despite the turmoil it's created in the financial markets.

Bill Handel talks about how, in a groundbreaking plan, California is allowing affordable housing on some commercial properties. Now a year into a Los Angeles law protecting renters, the city has taken zero landlords to court. The Kremlin has said that Putin will sign 'treaties' to annex Ukrainian regions. And while millions were told to leave before Hurricane Ian struck, some calculated that it was better to stay.

Moscow says President Putin will complete the annexation of four Ukrainian territories on Friday, following referendums deemed a sham by most of the rest of the world. Also on the program, there are reports of fatalities in Florida following Hurricane Ian's landfall Wednesday night, and the rapper Coolio has died.

Russia is trying to accomplish in a sham process what it can't achieve on the battlefield, which is to conquer eastern Ukraine. In Kremlin-engineered referenda, Ukrainian citizens of four southern and eastern regions are being forced to vote to join Russia so that Vladimir Putin may formally annex them. Should he announce the regions as part of Russia, the window for any peace negotiations will close. That is because no Ukrainian government would recognize the results of the voting, and therefore could see no alternative to trying to regain the annexed regions by military force. In this episode, the Quincy Institute's Anatol Lieven discusses this frightening escalation of a war that Ukraine appeared to be winning after retaking more than 2,000 square miles of territory.
