Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the changes that have been made to the 12-team College Football Playoff format, and explain why they think Notre Dame needs to earn their top 12 automatic at-large bid they now have by playing a tougher schedule.

In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen Benelli and Robyn Benelli continue their Reiki manifestation series by exploring how resistance shows up when energy is ready to move into form and how Reiki supports divinely guided action in real life. Manifestation often feels clear at the vision level, yet challenging at the action level. In this conversation, we explore how resistance can signal readiness rather than failure, how courage and trust develop through movement, and how clarity often unfolds after taking the next step. This discussion offers grounded, practical insight into working with Reiki during moments of hesitation, uncertainty, and decision-making. We talk about listening to Reiki energy, honoring different ways people experience guidance, and recognizing that inspired action does not require certainty or perfection. Topics covered include: Understanding resistance as part of the manifestation process Listening to Reiki and inner guidance for next steps Trusting action without forcing outcomes Moving through fear, hesitation, and overwhelm Taking small, meaningful steps in daily life Working with Reiki during cycles of inspiration, pause, and renewal The session includes a guided Reiki journey that supports letting go at the River of Life, receiving guidance at the Tree of Life, and identifying clear actions in the Field of Opportunity. Automatic writing is offered as an optional way to listen more deeply to guidance during the journey. This video is part of our ongoing Reiki manifestation series and is suitable for Reiki practitioners, students, and anyone interested in using Reiki for clarity, confidence, and aligned action.

A cocaine-positive patient rolls into the OR and the monitors look fine—until twenty minutes after induction, when the blood pressure plummets. We unpack that swing from sympathetic surge to sudden crash through two real cases: an emergent trauma laparotomy complicated by asystole and a chronic intranasal user with profound hypotension that only responded to direct-acting vasopressors. From there, we connect the dots to the pharmacology that makes these events predictable and, with the right plan, manageable.We talk candidly about what matters before wheels-in: timing of last use, objective signs of toxicity, and targeted testing. You'll hear why urine screens can stay positive for weeks, why indirect agents like ephedrine can fail, and how phenylephrine or norepinephrine often become first-line choices. For regional anesthesia, we flag contamination risks and local anesthetic systemic toxicity concerns that call for dose adjustment and intralipid readiness. Chronic cocaine use adds another layer, including left ventricular dysfunction, myocardial infarction and fibrosis, and calcium dysregulation.Hospital policy and equity loom large. Automatic cancellations for cocaine positive patients can worsen pain, delay care, and disproportionately impact patients with limited access. We review current evidence suggesting many asymptomatic, cocaine-positive patients tolerate elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia with hemodynamics comparable to controls when vigilant management is in place. The takeaway: build flexible, evidence-informed pathways that prioritize patient safety without reflexive delays, and keep a rescue mindset with careful monitoring and direct vasopressors within reach.

Could the Minneapolis Rioters Be Using Automatic License Plate Recognition Systems

Four blocks...That's all Theresa Fusco needed to walk to get home...On a November night in 1984, she stepped out of a roller rink in Lynbrook, New York. The lights were still buzzing behind her. Music still playing. Teenagers still laughing. The world she'd been part of for the last few hours kept moving forward without her.Something had gone wrong inside. She'd been fired from her job at the snack bar. Witnesses later remembered her crying as she left. The record doesn't preserve the exact words exchanged, or the reason it escalated to that moment. What it does preserve is how she walked out—upset, shaken, and alone.And then she started home.Four blocks is nothing. It's the kind of distance that feels safe. Familiar. Automatic. The kind of walk you don't think twice about—especially at sixteen.Theresa never arrived home...What followed was not just a murder, but a chain reaction that stretched across decades: fear gripping a small community, pressure mounting on investigators, confessions that later unravelled, and three men sent to prison for a crime they did not commit.For years, the system believed it had an answer.It didn't.DNA—silent for decades—eventually spoke. It overturned convictions. It reopened wounds. And it left one question hanging in the air longer than anyone should have to wait for the truth.Who killed Theresa Fusco?In this episode, we trace that four-block walk forward and backward through time. We sit in the quiet moments most stories rush past: a girl holding back tears, a parent insisting something is wrong, evidence sealed away and nearly forgotten, and the long, unbearable weight of waiting.And then—forty years later—something ordinary is thrown away.A small, modern detail bridges the past and the present, forcing the case to move again. Not toward spectacle. Toward accountability.This is not a story about shock.It's a story about how easily someone can disappear.How hard the truth can be to recover.And how one name deserves to be spoken with care, even after all this time.Her name was Theresa Fusco, we shall always remember you.----Thank you immensely for your patience mates on this episode!

Mark Followill and Brian Dameris hop right into Studio41 straight from the airport to discuss the Mavericks big win over the Knicks. They talk about the confidence Max Christie is showing on the court and discuss how much of it came from being teammates with the man who has made the 4th most three-pointers in NBA history, Klay Thompson. The guys also discuss how the time off may have benefited Cooper Flagg and how Naji Marshall has turned into Mr. Automatic in the past five games. The guys then take a deeper look at the end of the roster with the impact the two-way players have made lately. Then to finish it off the guys get into how Caleb Martin is returning to his old ways and what type of impact he can make in the 2nd half of the season.

In this episode, Patrick and Jonah begin the new year by returning to a central question of our time: how do we face evil without losing freedom, discernment, or love? Drawing on the Gospel of John and Rudolf Steiner's reflections on the work of the angels in the human soul, the conversation explores compassion, individuality, technology, medicine, and the danger of “automatic” spirituality. Along the way, they ask whether what feels like apocalypse today might actually be an unveiling — a revealing of what we desire, neglect, or refuse to see.Extended reflections, personal notes, and deeper context are available on Patreon.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Remove These Foreign Judges! Trump Warns Cuba “Make a Deal Before it's Too Late” SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION!—Judges Pretend This Doesn't Exist! The 14th Amendment doesn't say “born here, period.” It says born here and subject to the jurisdiction thereof—a phrase with a precise, debated, and documented meaning at ratification. That meaning was exclusive political allegiance to the United States, not mere presence. Courts and media pretend this language doesn't exist because it's inconvenient. But constitutional text isn't optional. If judges won't enforce the words as written and intended, they aren't interpreting the Constitution—they're rewriting it. And when that happens, citizenship stops being law and becomes politics.

Un episod LEADERS fabulos, care te obligă să te oprești și să gândești. Răzvan Rughiniș – specialist în inteligență artificială, Prodecan la Automatică și Calculatoare, autorul volumului „Societatea digitală – Stăpâni, cetățeni sau sclavi?" – vorbește fără ocolișuri despre lumea care se construiește sub ochii noștri. O lume în care munca, valoarea umană și puterea se reașază radical. Ce înseamnă, concret, ideea tulburătoare de „vom plăti ca să muncim"? Cine controlează cu adevărat AI-ul: statele, corporațiile sau câțiva jucători globali? Putem integra acest salt tehnologic uriaș fără conflicte majore și fără costuri sociale ascunse? Discuția merge de la fundamentele inteligenței artificiale și costurile ei reale, până la riscuri financiare despre care se vorbește prea puțin, promisiunea AI-ului general, impactul asupra generației Z, competiția SUA–China, reglementările europene și poziția fragilă a României în această nouă ecuație globală. Un dialog dens, lucid și incomod, despre o revoluție care nu mai este viitor, ci prezent.

This episode is your introduction to the world of conservative investing, so it's perfect for you if you're looking to preserve your principal and grow your money at a steady pace. I'm walking you through seven standout investment choices for 2026, ranging from high-yield online money market accounts to short-term bond funds, CDs, and Treasury bonds. We'll discuss how to shop around for the best rates, the importance of keeping up with inflation in retirement, and the benefits and limitations of each strategy. There's something here for anyone who wants their money to work a little harder without taking on unnecessary risk.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... 00:00 Retirement Income to beat inflation. 03:27 Using online banks and credit unions for high-yield savings. 04:53 Automatic and manual selection of money market funds. 08:23 How yield and volatility differ from money market funds with short-term bond funds. 11:24 Brokered CDs vs. traditional CDs. 13:39 U.S. Treasuries as highly secure investment using treasury bonds. 15:11 Using a fixed annuity to invest your money. 17:06 How U.S. Treasury Inflation Bonds (I Bonds) work. Seven Smart Conservative Investment Options for Growing and Preserving Your Wealth Retirement planning and conservative investing go hand in hand, particularly for those looking to preserve their hard-earned principal and ensure steady, reliable growth..  1. High-Yield Online Money Market Accounts Keeping cash in traditional savings accounts often means missing out on higher returns so it's a great start to explore online banks that offer high-yield savings and money market accounts. Although these accounts lack physical branches and operate electronically, the tradeoff is often higher interest rates.  2. Brokerage Money Market Funds Money market funds present another secure route to saving for retirement. With Vanguard and Fidelity, your idle cash is generally swept automatically into high-yield funds, whereas Schwab offers more choices, but you may need to manually select a higher-yielding money market fund. Current yields are around 3.6% to 3.7%, but rates fluctuate weekly with market conditions. Importantly, these investments are designed to keep the value per share at $1, minimizing risk to your principal. 3. Short-Term Bond Funds If you're comfortable with a bit more fluctuation, short-term bond funds can offer higher yields than money market funds. While prices may move slightly, the key is to assess yield versus volatility and select a fund aligned with your risk tolerance. Total bond market or aggregate bond funds, such as the State Street Aggregate Bond ETF (SPAB), can yield more (sometimes above 4%), but carry higher risk and potential for loss, as evidenced by losses in years of rapidly rising interest rates. 4. Short-Term Certificates of Deposit (CDs) CDs are an old-fashioned but reliable solution. By locking in your money for a set period (often one to three years), you benefit from higher fixed rates, currently 4% for one-year CDs and slightly lower for longer terms. Watch out, though, if interest rates fall, having a longer-term CD can be advantageous, but shopping around means opening multiple accounts, which can become hard to track.  5. U.S. Treasury Bonds Tied to government backing, short-term U.S. Treasury bonds are among the safest choices. They typically yield around 3.5% to 3.6% for terms of one to three years. Besides security, their interest is exempt from state income tax, which can be a perk for residents of high-tax states.  6. Fixed Annuities For those who want higher yields and are willing to sacrifice some liquidity, fixed annuities offer insurance-backed, multi-year fixed interest rates, sometimes higher than CDs or Treasuries. Current rates above 4% for investments starting at $100,000, though smaller minimums (such as $5,000 at Fidelity) provide slightly lower yields. The main drawback is reduced access to your principal. 7. U.S. Treasury Inflation Bonds Inflation Bonds combine a fixed interest rate with added payments tied to inflation. Currently, they yield over 4%, but are capped at $10,000 per person annually. You must hold them for at least five years to avoid penalties, and taxes on the interest can be deferred. If inflation surges, these are especially attractive. Take Action to Grow  Whether you're approaching retirement or simply cautious, these seven strategies equip you to earn more on your savings while keeping risk in check. Consider putting excess bank cash to work in one or more of these vehicles for better long-term outcomes. Remember, conservative investing isn't about standing still, it's about moving forward deliberately and securely.

We drill the ABCs. We practice math facts. But when it comes to kindness, we often expect it to appear fully formed, without teaching it. In this episode of Facing the Dark, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore the critical difference between politeness and true kindness, drawing on psychological research, parenting wisdom, and the biblical story of the Prodigal Son. They unpack why forcing apologies can create scripts instead of sincerity, how empathy is a muscle that must be taught and practiced, and why safety always precedes compassion. This conversation challenges parents to move beyond surface-level behavior management toward heart-level formation modeling mercy, curiosity, repair, and other-centeredness. If you want to raise kids who are genuinely kind, not just well-mannered, this episode will give you clarity, conviction, and practical direction.

This episode opens with a fearless forecast for the year ahead, including a candid review of last year's predictions—where Joel nailed the impact of deregulation and tax reform but underestimated the power of AI and the surprising market surge.

Joel reveals the driving forces behind this year's markets: AI-fueled earnings growth, the effects of recent tax legislation, and why diversification could be the key to outperforming concentrated indexes. He also breaks down the risks—market overvaluation, inflation, and labor concerns—while explaining how a “pause year” might reset expectations. Ready to make your financial resolutions stick? Drawing from behavioral finance and insights from The Wall Street Journal, Joel shares actionable strategies for setting—and keeping—money goals that align with your values. Find out how automatic savings, clear targets, and monthly check-ins can transform your financial discipline and set you up for success. If you want to know whether your portfolio is poised for growth or if your resolutions will finally last past February, this episode is packed with expert analysis and practical tips.

Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it's built around a question I think most of us care about more than we admit: what actually makes a great friend? Friendship is often treated as something casual. Easy. Automatic. But as life gets fuller — work, family, responsibility, distraction — the quality of our friendships can quietly slip into something surface-level. Not because we don't care, but because we stop being intentional about how we show up. What I've learned is that great friendships aren't defined by history or proximity. They're defined by behavior. Being a great friend isn't about always having the right words or fixing someone's problems. It's about presence. Courage. And a willingness to show up in ways that actually matter — even when it's uncomfortable. Here's the core idea: Great friendships aren't built on convenience — they're built on intention. That intention shows up in a few specific ways. In the courage to be vulnerable instead of polished. In choosing shared growth over staying comfortable. And in offering real, actionable support instead of vague good intentions. One of the biggest differences between casual friends and lifelong ones is the kinds of conversations you're willing to have — and the kinds of moments you're willing to share. Depth doesn't happen by accident. It happens when someone goes first. This episode is about closing that gap. About turning "let me know if you need anything" into actually showing up. About asking better questions. About becoming the kind of friend you'd want to have in your own corner. In today's episode I cover: Why vulnerability is the foundation of real friendship How shared growth experiences deepen connection What it looks like to offer meaningful, specific support If you've been thinking about the people who matter most in your life, this episode is an invitation — not to do more, but to show up differently. And to remember that the strongest friendships are built through small, intentional acts done consistently over time. Until next time, show up with intention — and be the kind of friend you'd want in your own corner.

The time has finally arrived. Twelve regular season games, and the conference championship games, have all led up to this point. After all of the questions, debate, anger and anxiety; the first round of the College Football Playoff begins Friday! The excitement gets started with ninth-seeded Alabama visiting eighth-seeded Oklahoma. A rematch from the regular season in which the Sooners came out on top. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the matchup and what they think both teams need to do to come out victorious. Then, they take a look at another big-time matchup that will see tenth-seeded Miami visit seventh-seeded Texas A&M. They discuss the quick turnaround A&M has made under Mike Elko and how Miami can come away victorious. Also, Godfrey discusses the Group of Five teams deserving a spot in the Playoff and Ross looks at the fourteen coaches who will be coaching in the Playoff despite having accepted a different coaching job for next season. Then, Ross talks about a story he wrote last year that is coming back to light. The current CFP agreement states that in the 2026 season, the Power 4 conference champions will be guaranteed a spot in the field. It also stated that a Top-12 ranked Notre Dame would automatically get a bid. This overlooked and forgotten caveat has become the topic of much debate. The crew discusses its impact and what may come of this agreement if the Playoff is expanded to 16 teams. They also dive into the NFL's impact on the CFP and why some of the premiere college games this weekend are not in the premiere time slots.Later, it's time for I've Got A Feeling.

Chris's SummaryJim and I are joined by Jake Turner as we cover the Math Act and a set of shorter EDU topics Jim has been collecting. We start with an SSA-44 update, including listener and client feedback on submitting the IRMAA redetermination form online through an SSA.gov account. Jake explains how IRS “math error” notices work today, why they're often vague, and what the new law requires for clearer explanations and response deadlines. Jim then walks through the Automatic IRA Act's proposals, including an annuity-style “protected lifetime income solution” requirement over certain balances, and we close with a quick way to sanity-check MYGA rates using AnnuityRateWatch's yield curve. Jim's “Pithy” SummaryChris and I are joined by Jake Turner as we bounce from Social Security admin housekeeping to Washington trying, yet again, to make the IRS act like it's talking to actual humans—starting with the Math Act. If you've ever opened one of those IRS letters that basically says “you owe us money” without showing you how they got there, you already know why this matters. Jake lays out what those notices are really doing behind the scenes, why clients forward them to preparers in a panic, and what the new requirements are supposed to force the IRS to include so you can actually understand what they're alleging and what happens if you don't respond. Then we pivot into the Automatic IRA Act, and I'll be honest: I'm less interested in the political theater than I am in what it signals. There's the small-business auto-enrollment concept—opt-out, no match requirement, and all that—and then there's the part that made me laugh out loud when I saw who was cheering it on. Once you cross a certain 401(k) balance, the proposal would require employers to offer a “protected lifetime income solution,” which is just a polite way of saying “annuities are trying to get a bigger seat at the 401(k) table.” That opens up all the practical questions: what counts, who defines it, and how this intersects with the slow drift of defined contribution plans trying to behave a little more like pensions. The post Math Act and Automatic IRA Act: EDU #2551 appeared first on The Retirement and IRA Show.

Week 15 in the NFL is here with a fury and it has quite the lineup. Multiple games with playoff implications, a few games that could clinch a playoff spot for certain teams and a couple do or die matchups. Our game of the week is the New England Patriots vs the Buffalo Bills. Will Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel sweep the Bills or does Josh Allen play superhero ball two weeks in a row? A matchup we see as a potential Super Bowl matchup is the Green Bay Packers vs the Denver Broncos - does Toyotathon Love come out on top in the Mile High City? The Lions, Chiefs and Colts all look to stay alive in the playoff race while the Bears and Eagles look to avoid a second tumble in as many weeks. All eyes are on Philip Rivers, will he play and how will he perform? The fellas end with a very special Cardinals-Texans ad men, the Bermuda Triangle game of Commanders vs Giants, Thursday Night Time Machine and a very important announcement regarding the Monday Live show.
