389E-426-Rose Rules Again Recently my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny discovered 8 new Earth approaching object candidates on a single night with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona. One of them, 2017 YO is a mile and a half diameter, main belt asteroid, while the other 7 are interesting Earth approaching objects. Another one of Rose's single night discoveries is 2017 YM1. When Rose first spotted it this space rock was moving rapidly north, at 6.9 miles per second, away from the Earth in the constellation of Ursae Major. About 5 days earlier it had passed near both the Earth and Our Moon at which time it was too far south to be seen from Arizona. This space rock is about 92 feet in diameter, orbits the Sun once every 2.25 years, and can come to less than a tenth of the Moon's distance from us. 2017 YM1 is about 1.5 times larger than the Chelyabinsk (Shell ya binsk) meteor which in 2013 broke many thousands of windows and injured 1,200 people. According to Perdue University's impact calculator, a space rock like 2017 YM1 enters the Earth's atmosphere once every hundred years or so with an energy of 250 kilotons of TNT, explodes into a cloud of fragments at about 73,000 feet, rains pieces onto the ground, and produces a sonic boom that would get your attention as it breaks a lot of windows. Asteroid hunter's goal is to discover any such impactor days before it enters the Earth's atmosphere so that people can be warned to stay away from doors and windows.

Congratulations to Logan Eury and his new wife Emily, got married today, May 1, 2026!  This C.O. Bigelow Collab Introduces the 188-Year-Old Pharmacy to a New Generation Abbode is taking over the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy-approved shop for a month-long pop-up. https://fashionista.com/2026/05/co-bigelow-abbode-pop-up-carolyn-bessette-impact  The article highlights how a pop-up and renewed interest in C.O. Bigelow has been fueled by the cultural resurgence of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's minimalist style, amplified by media and social buzz. This renewed attention has driven significant foot traffic and sales, showing how storytelling, nostalgia, and “quiet luxury” aesthetics can translate into real retail impact.   Q&A: Mayo Clinic leaders share strategies for managing high-cost drugs without breaking the bank | Asembia AXS26 Summit https://www.managedhealthcareexecutive.com/view/q-a-mayo-clinic-leaders-share-strategies-for-managing-high-cost-drugs-without-breaking-the-bank-asembia-axs26-summit Mayo Clinic leaders emphasize that managing high-cost drugs requires clear definitions, structured formulary review processes, and multidisciplinary collaboration to balance cost, access, and clinical value. They highlight the importance of evaluating safety, efficacy, financial impact, and site-of-care decisions together, while noting that non-340B systems face increasing pressure from rising costs and reimbursement constraints. Ultimately, success depends on stronger alignment between health systems, manufacturers, and payers to sustain access without compromising quality of care.  Where Gross-to-net Pressure Actually Lives After Launch Today's guest post comes from Cindy Baksh, Chief Product Officer at ConnectiveRx. https://www.drugchannels.net/2026/05/where-gross-to-net-pressure-actually.html The article explains that “gross-to-net pressure” isn't driven by a single factor, but by a combination of rebates, discounts, fees, and policy changes that continue to reshape how drug pricing actually works behind the scenes. As the industry shifts toward a “net pricing” model, traditional rebate-driven strategies are weakening, forcing manufacturers, PBMs, and pharmacies to rethink how value and profits are generated. Today's featured guest is Dr. Ndidiamaka Okpareke PharmD for Congress Dr. Ndidiamaka “Didi” Okpareke, PharmD, is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and political candidate running for Congress in New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. A first-generation Nigerian-American, she built her career in healthcare after graduating from the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy and went on to found and lead a successful compounding pharmacy serving her community.  Motivated by nearly two decades of patient care experience, Okpareke entered the political arena to address challenges such as healthcare access, rising costs, and the shortage of providers in New Mexico. Running as a Republican, she emphasizes strengthening healthcare systems, supporting economic growth, and preserving opportunity for future generations, positioning herself as a community-focused leader bringing frontline healthcare insight into public policy.  This special episode highlights how TJM Labs is redefining pharmacy operations through AI-driven automation, bringing together insights from industry leaders Bhavesh Patel, PharmD—CEO of Carepoint Pharmacy—and Jonathan Adly, PharmD, MBA—CEO of TJM Labs. At the center of the conversation is how modern pharmacies are facing rising prescription volumes, staffing constraints, and increasing operational complexity, and why traditional manual workflows can no longer keep pace. TJM Labs addresses this challenge by deploying AI-powered “digital workers” that automate tasks like prescription intake, data entry, and patient communication—allowing pharmacy teams to shift their focus back to patient care and clinical decision-making.  Through the lens of both operator and innovator, the discussion explores how AI is not replacing pharmacy professionals, but augmenting them—reducing burnout, improving accuracy, and enabling scalable growth. With automation handling up to the majority of repetitive workload and delivering measurable ROI, TJM Labs represents a new model where technology and pharmacy expertise work together to create more efficient, patient-centered operations. 

LexG with some mini "lightning rounds" on a few formative faves, from David Cronenberg to Kathryn Bigelow to Walter Hill, with a few shorter riffs on Paul Verhoeven, Peter Hyams, and John Badham. Not meant to be comprehensive or scholarly, just freeform riffing about some favorite filmmakers, in what might become an ongoing occasional series or segment.

Nancy Pearl talks with Brad Bigelow about his new biography, "Virginia Faulkner: A Life in Two Acts," which revisits the life of a once-promising American writer, editor, and overlooked literary figure. Bigelow traces Faulkner’s rise as a writer and the personal struggles that reshaped her path. The Book Lust conversation also explores Bigelow’s lifelong fascination with neglected books, forgotten writers, and the compelling lives that continue to draw him to biography.

Forgive us our slight post-Oscar delay, dear listeners, but here we are for our eighth annual year-end review show, which we call 2025: Juke Joints and a Few Small Beers in honor of two of the year's (and perhaps the decade's or even the century's) most unforgettable films. This episode represents an exciting step for us as, for the first time, we welcome a guest: the redoubtable Kerry Cowan, brilliant teacher, lifelong film fan, and an old old friend of mine. Looking back at the year in film that was 2025, we noted that this was the first year since we started back in 2018 that we all really had trouble narrowing the field to a top ten. In the past, we've often had to stretch for the last couple, ending up with Top 7 or Top 8 lists. This year, as you shall see below and hear within, our problem was what to leave off. In a year of triumphs from sources both expected and unexpected, perhaps the best thing about the year was the return to form of some of our favorite directors: Coogler with "Sinners", PTA with "One Battle", our beloved Chloe with "Hamnet", Aronofsky with the underseen "Caught Stealing", Del Toro with "Frankenstein", Aster with "Eddington", Bigelow with "House of Dynamite" and the astonishing Richard Linklater with not one but two wonderful films. As always, we considered the eternal question of which of these films will be watched by anyone in 25 years, let alone show up the Sight and Sound poll in 2032. No doubt whatsoever about "Sinners" and "One Battle". I would throw "Eddington" on that list, as uneven as it is, since it points to a vivid moment in the American pageant, reminding us exactly when it was that we lost our minds. "Hamnet" will surely be there, and we suspect that the luminous "Train Dreams" might have some legs down the road. With Michael in the lead, we all loved "Sentimental Value" (besides the facial morph montage). None of us cared much for "Bugonia", though I actually came within 10 minutes of liking a Lanthimos film before that ending. We also ended up underwhelmed by "Marty Supreme", which personally killed me with its 50's setting clashing with 80's synth-pop throughout. Yes, we would have gotten the idea that the go-go Wall Street/American Psycho 80's had its roots in figures from the 50's like Marty without being hit over the head with it musically. Trust your audience, filmmakers! As for the Oscars themselves, it was another great party this year, only slightly spoiled by the fact that Michael won the pool by a landslide again this year. It's now 98 years and running with no black person winning for Best Director, but it's hard to complain about Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning after 14 nominations in almost 30 years of work. And the Cinematography award going to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman and black person to win that one, indicates that we may in fact be making progress. And they got it right with Michael B (finally), the lit-from-within Jessie Buckley (best acceptance speech), and "Sentimental Value"'s win for Foreign Language Film. As for the show itself, Conan was fine, though the bits were hit and miss as usual. We loved the "Bridesmaids" reunion, the "Moulin Rouge!" one not so much, and loved the painfully accurate "Casablanca" bit with Sterling K. Brown where plot elements have to be restated every couple of minutes or so to accommodate declining attention spans. And they finally got the necrology right, though we wish we had more time to see who came onstage for Rob Reiner; Rachel McAdams' tribute to Diane Keaton was lovely, but it did turn out that Babs' singing voice was not exactly like butter. So kick back, relax, and enjoy Kerry's star turn as our D'Artagnan, our Fourth Musketeer, as Team Vintage Sand reflects and reports on what was perhaps the best year in film since we started this lunacy some eight years ago, in the Before Time.

Another excellent Roman romance from Jenna Bigelow!

On a recent night my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Vivian Carvajal found 4 Earth approaching space rocks with our small but mighty Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona. These Earth approaching asteroids are all small with an average diameter about the width of tennis court. On their current paths none of them come closer than about 4 lunar distances from our home planet.

In 2012 as it crossed the orbit of Neptune heading towards the Sun a small space rock was 250 times fainter than can be detected by the Hubble Space Telescope. Five years later, after it had rounded the Sun, it became visible in asteroid hunter's telescopes for about 16 days, as it streaked across our planet's orbit at 37 miles per second, as it continued to move away from the Sun. During that brief period of time it was discovered by the PanSTARRS group in Hawaii, tracked by telescopes around the world, and given the name Oumuamua (“Oh-moo-ah-moo-ah”). Turns out that previous to the discovery observations, sightings too sparse to report, were obtained by my team using the Catalina Sky Survey's Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona. In 2024 this unusual space rock will cross Pluto's average distance from the Sun traveling on a path which will take it into deep interstellar space. Since we don't know how Oumuamua could obtained it's current trajectory from processes in our solar system, it is safe to presume that it originated in truly deep space. The mystery of Oumuamua deepened when astronomers measured it's brightness to change regularly by nearly 10 times over a 7.3 hour period of time. If these brightness variations are due to it's shape, and thus the amount of sun light reflected as it rotates, Oumuamua looks like a cigar. Even though Elon Musk's SpaceX Mars rocket could catch Oumuamua, it is more cost effective is to simply wait to discover another one of the several interstellar asteroids which pass by us each year.

My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Persus when she found the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to like Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.

The orbits of the planets are closely aligned with the extension of the Sun's equator into space and are contained within the flattened disk of material which forms the plane solar system. Most asteroids have orbits with inclinations or tilts to the solar system's plane which are less than 20 degrees. Thus, when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny discovered a small space rock which soars into the lonely space high above and below our solar system's plane, it got our attention. As with all of our asteroid discoveries, Rose had no idea of what kind of object she had discovered with our Schmidt Telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona until it had been tracked by observers around the world. The Minor Planet Center used the data from 14 different telescopes to calculate an orbit, estimate a size, and give the new object the name, 2017 TF4. Rose's odd ball near Earth Apollo asteroid discovery , 2017 TF4, has an orbit which is tilted by 60 degrees to the plane of our solar system. It's inclination or tilt is greater than 99.5% of the other 8,000 known Earth approaching Apollo asteroids. 2017 TF4, Rose's 260 foot diameter discovery orbits the Sun at about the same distance as the Earth once every 414 days. Perhaps as asteroid hunters discover additional small objects with orbits similar to Rose's discovery we will be able to trace them back to when they were created by a catastrophic collision long ago.

Are you a tea drinker? We do! It offers many health benefits and is a great way to increase your water intake and hydration during perimenopause and menopause.In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Cindi Bigelow, the third-generation President and CEO of Bigelow Tea, the family-owned American tea company founded in 1945. She helped transform the brand from a traditional grocery-store staple into a modern wellness-focused tea company, expanding into specialty blends, green teas, and functional teas while keeping the business privately held and family-run. Topics:Bigelow & Integrity: The company is a third-generation, family- and women-owned business founded by Cindi Bigelow's grandmother in 1945 with the iconic Constant Comment tea. Its focus has always been on mission and quality, not just profit.Quality: Bigelow tests its teas for nearly 500 pesticides to ensure the final product is clean. Additionally, every tea bag undergoes 26 checks before reaching the store shelf.Debunking the Plastic Tea Bag Scare: The most common type of tea bag used in the U.S., such as Bigelow's double-chamber, non-heat-sealed bag, contains no plastic; it's made from wood pulp and abaca. The misinformation circulating often shows the wrong kind of tea bags.Foil is the Secret to Freshness: Bigelow invented the individual foil pouch because it is the only way to protect the volatile oils in tea, which make the tea healthy and flavorful, from degrading for up to three years.Loose Tea is a Trade-Off: While loose tea provides a "beautiful experience," it oxidizes and degrades more quickly when exposed to air, light, and moisture.Hydration is Critical for Menopause: For women in perimenopause and menopause, staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining energy, supporting brain and skin health, reducing inflammation, and aiding digestion.Making Water Easier to Drink: Bigelow's Botanicals Cold Water Infusion line was created because many people, including the CEO herself, don't enjoy drinking plain water; these bags gently infuse cold water with natural flavors, making hydration simple.Longevity: The Bigelow family members are avid tea drinkers, sometimes enjoying up to 10 cups a day, and have enjoyed long lives; her mother is 97, and her grandfather lived to 103. Tea could be part of that longevity.Explore a wide variety of Green, Black, and Herbal Teas, as well as Bigelow's Botanical Infusions. https://bit.ly/4kFzfyJ Send a text ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagine

Eighteen hours before my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny first spotted a small space rock with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona it had passed less than the Earth's diameter from the surface of our planet. Rose was able to discover this Smart Car sized space rock after it moved out of the Sun's glare. At this point it was about the Moon's distance from her and was traveling away at 3.4 mi/s. After Rose posted her discovery observations on the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object Confirmation page, for the next 24 hours it was tracked by telescopes in Spain, Illinois, and Arizona. Scientists at the Minor Planet Center used these data to calculate it's orbit around the Sun, estimate it's size and give it the name 2017 UJ2. This small asteroid had come near the Earth in 1978 but was invisible to the technology which astronomers had available at the time. 2017 UJ2 will not come close enough for us to detect in the foreseeable future, however, there are likely to be tens of millions of others like it which can come close to Earth. A small asteroid the size of Rose's discovery is likely to enter our atmosphere at least once a year and explodes at about 4 times higher than airliners fly. If such an event happened at night and you were lucky enough to see it you would be treated to a fantastic light show. If you are as lucky as a power ball winner you might even be able to find a piece of it on the ground.

CW: Police brutality, racism, and sexual assault discussed in relation to the plot and themes of the film. After an extended (and accidental) hiatus, Masie & Stuart are finally back with a new monthly schedule to dissect the unfortunately topical 1995 Kathryn Bigelow cyberpunk action film Strange Days. Starring Ralph Fiennes as the most pathetic ex-cop ever dealing street illegal VR-esque tech on New Year's Eve in the near future 1999, Strange Days is a shockingly prescient film in its portrayal of the evils of police brutality and racism. Does it nail its conclusions on these topics though? And does Angela Bassett slay so hard that its easy to overlook those faults?

Send us a textVirginia Faulkner had no family ties to that other famous Faulkner, but she is connected to another icon of classic American literature. A young flapper who made an authorial splash with the New York literati (earning comparisons to a young Dorothy Parker), Faulkner later switched gears, devoting the second half of her life to shaping The University of Nebraska Press into a powerhouse publishing institution. Her dedication to scholarship on Willa Cather helped solidify Cather in the pantheon of great American writers. We're joined for this discussion by neglected books champion Brad Bigelow, whose biography Virginia Faulkner: A Life in Two Acts was recently published by Bison Press.Mentioned in this episode:Virginia Faulkner: A Life in Two Acts by Brad Bigelow2026 Pilgrimage Reading GroupPurchase the Pilgrimage Series by Dorothy RichardsonNeglected Books websiteFriends and Romans by Virginia FaulknerWilla CatherA House is Not a Home by Polly AdlerUniversity of Nebraska PressMy Hey Day (The “Princess Tulip” Stories) by Virginia FaulknerEx-Wife by Ursula ParrottEugene MeyerBernice SloteLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 59 on Gertrude TrevelyonLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 116 on Dorothy RichardsonLost Ladies of Lit Support the showFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comSubscribe to our substack newsletter.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Astronomers have yet to discover any long lasting natural object, beside our Moon, which orbits the Earth, however, occasionally, a small space rock enters into a temporary dance with our home planet.   - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Hydra with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona when a fast moving unknown point of light passed through a set of his images. After Greg reported his observations to the Minor Planet Center for the next 10 days it was tracked by observatories in Arizona, Italy, Hawaii, Australia, and Argentina.  Citizen scientist H. A. Güler analyzed these data. The Minor Planet Center published the discovery of the near Earth asteroid 2018 CN41. The discovery was deleted when the object turned out to be a Falcon Heavy Rocket Upper stage with a Tesla roadster attached.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

In this episode, Alicia Bigelow, ND joins to discuss the potential of psychedelic medicine to support the menopause transition. Dr. Ali Bigelow is a naturopathic physician, ketamine provider and licensed psilocybin facilitator in Portland, OR. She leads individual and group retreats, enjoys incorporating live music into her sessions when desired, and is passionate about supporting those navigating life transitions, such as end of life and menopause, through her low dose group, Menomorphosis. Dr. Bigelow will be doing retreats in 2026 with Rise Up Journeys at RiseUpJourneys.com In this conversation, Dr. Bigelow explores the emerging intersection between psychedelics and the menopausal transition, framing perimenopause and menopause as profound neuroendocrine, psychological, and existential shifts rather than merely clinical syndromes. She also discusses how hormonal changes—particularly declining estrogen—interact with serotonin, inflammation, and neuroplasticity, potentially shaping psychedelic experiences and outcomes. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Bigelow emphasizes the unique capacity of psychedelics to support self-actualization, identity reformation, and meaning-making during midlife, especially when combined with hormone therapy, intentional integration practices, and strong community support.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why perimenopause and menopause represent a major but under-recognized neurobiological life transition How estrogen, serotonin receptors, and psychedelics like psilocybin may interact in midlife What we know (and don't yet know) about hormone replacement therapy and psychedelic efficacy The potential anti-inflammatory effects of psychedelics and their relevance to menopausal symptoms How ketamine may function differently from classic psychedelics during hormonal transitions Why psychedelics can support identity reorientation, self-actualization, and "not caring" in generative ways The critical role of community, creativity, and nervous system regulation in integration during midlife   Quotes: "We don't honor and celebrate aging and elderhood overall in our culture. … What I do feel is really vital is that we gather and support each other in all of life's transitions, and [menopause has] not only been underrepresented, but also just under honored." [3:29] "As [estrogen] levels decrease, there's a decrease in serotonin receptors—which is the 5-HT2A receptor. And so that reduces our sensitivity to, and activity of serotonin. And psilocybin and LSD and other 5-HT2A agonists—they can enhance their receptors and the activity of those receptors." [13:20] "The understanding is that with [estrogen] hormone replacement therapy you would then, theoretically, see a replenishment of [serotonin] receptors, and then the psilocybin would have more ability to act on those receptors." [15:37] "Psilocybin—and psychedelics in general—and the menopausal transition are just really beautiful complements to each other and they become even more potent when used together."

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From August 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The Trappist-1 planetary system located about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius consists of a small red dwarf star and 7 Earth sized planets. By carefully studying changes in the planet's transit timings and the shape of the dip in the host star's brightness as each planet transits across it, astronomers have been able to measure the orbital period, radius, and approximate mass for each of the 7 planets.   - Recently my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Richard Kowalski discovered 2017 MB1, a 0.4 mile diameter asteroid with the Catalina Sky Survey Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, AZ. Two hours and 11 minutes later it came into a set images I obtained with the 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, AZ. After I reported it, the new object was tracked by telescopes in Arizona, New Zealand, Slovenia, Kansas, Australia, Hungary, France, and Brazil.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

In Kathryn Bigelow's new movie, A House of Dynamite, the clock is ticking. The film's fictional president of the United States has less than 20 minutes and very little information to decide whether or not to retaliate against a nuclear missile, launched at the United States, from an unknown source. As with Bigelow's other war movies, the story is disturbingly plausible. During the Cold War, the likely scenario was a war with the Soviet Union. Now there are nine nuclear powers, which makes the possibility of error, rogue actors, or a total information vacuum more likely. We talk with “A House of Dynamite” screenwriter Noah Oppenheim and Tom Nichols, a national-security writer at the Atlantic, who consulted on the movie.

Kathryn Bigelow's new A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE games out a scenario that filmmakers have been grappling with since the mid-20th century, in particular the year 1964, which saw the release of two very different classics of the nuclear-catastrophe genre: DR. STRANGELOVE, followed a few months later by the other half of this week's pairing, FAIL SAFE. If the bleak realism of Sidney Lumet's nuclear thriller made it a tougher sell to audiences back then, though, it also makes FAIL SAFE feel like a more fitting companion to Bigelow's film than its satirical predecessor. We're joined this week by critic and author Jason Bailey to discuss why FAIL SAFE still feels so immediately chilling decades removed from its Cold War context, and how Lumet makes a story that plays out mainly in a series of small rooms feel both grand in scope and human in focus. Then, in honor of our second Lumet feature in a row on this show, we turn Feedback over to a discussion of some of the prolific filmmaker's lesser-known works. Please share your thoughts about FAIL SAFE, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, or anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
