Podcasts about Central High School

Nine students. One school. A moment that changed America forever. ✊

Today on the podcast is Ty Cirino.Ty is the #2 returner in Oregon 5A cross country, out of Central High School in Independence, Oregon. With the graduation of Tayvon Kitchen and Josiah Tostenson this past spring, the door is open in Oregon high school XCTy Cirino is a possible heir to the throne.As a junior, Ty won the The Mook XC Invite at Alderbrook in a new course record of 14:43 (which was just recently broken by Kellen Williams in 14:28). Ty also finished 2nd at the Rose City Invitational in 14:35. After finishing 4th at Oregon 5A State Cross Country as a junior and placing 3rd in both the 1500 and 3K this past track season, many have been expecting Ty to rise to the occasion this cross-country season.But, it hasn't been without struggle. Despite a groundbreaking summer of training, Ty sustained a tiny flare-up that has temporarily sidelined him for a couple weeks to end his September. However, as we head into October, and as you will learn today, Ty believes that this setback could be his strength.Aside from a minor setback, Ty and I go in-depth on his thoughts on the competition in the northwest this cross-country season, as well as his thoughts on the change of the NXR location, why a state title would mean more than an NXN birth. We also discuss his preferences and insights tactical racing vs. front running and we run the gauntlet on the recruitment process.Ty definitely has a bright future. I think we all have to remember, that as you will here Ty say today, “championship season is all that matters”. People don't remember who sets a course record in September. But people do remember the clutch moments, whether that be winning a state title, winning NXR, or even winning a national title.It was a refreshing perspective to hear, and I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ty today.Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review!I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!

This Day in Legal History: Little Rock NineOn September 23, 1957, nine African American students, later known as the Little Rock Nine, were barred from entering Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, despite a federal court order mandating desegregation. This confrontation became a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement and a key test of federal authority to enforce the Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had deployed the National Guard earlier that month to prevent the students from entering the school, citing concerns about public safety. On September 23, the students attempted to enter the school through a side door. Although they briefly succeeded, a growing and increasingly violent white mob outside forced officials to remove the students for their safety. The local police were unable to contain the mob, highlighting the state's failure to comply with federal law.The national spotlight turned sharply toward Little Rock, prompting President Dwight D. Eisenhower to intervene. The next day, September 24, he federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent in the 101st Airborne Division to enforce the students' right to attend the school, which they did under armed guard on September 25.This event marked the first time since Reconstruction that federal troops were used in the South to enforce civil rights. It underscored the constitutional principle of federal supremacy and the power of the federal government to uphold civil rights against state resistance.President Trump is set to sign an executive order this week confirming that a proposed deal to restructure TikTok's U.S. operations will satisfy the 2024 law requiring divestment from its Chinese parent, ByteDance. Under the arrangement, ByteDance would retain less than 20% ownership, while American investors—including Trump-aligned figures like Lachlan Murdoch, Larry Ellison, and Michael Dell—would take control of the U.S. business. The restructuring would install a U.S.-based board with national security credentials, aiming to quell longstanding fears that TikTok user data could be accessed by the Chinese government.The executive order also pauses enforcement of the divestment mandate for 120 days, buying time to finalize the deal and secure regulatory sign-offs. While the U.S. government will not take a board seat or a “golden share,” it remains unclear whether the final agreement will involve any direct financial benefit to the federal government. Still, Trump's fingerprints are all over the transaction, from its nationalistic framing to the prominent role of political allies in the investor pool. He's even credited TikTok with helping him connect to young voters—a not-so-subtle nod to the platform's political utility heading into 2026.This deal marks rare progress in U.S.-China economic talks, which have been largely stalled amid broader trade tensions. But it also reflects a larger trend: Trump's willingness to insert the federal government directly into private sector negotiations, whether by greenlighting chip exports to China or taking equity in major tech firms. Critics argue such moves undermine free-market principles and risk long-term damage to U.S. competitiveness. Supporters, however, see it as strategic economic defense.In short, Trump's TikTok solution is part national security play, part corporate reshuffling, and part political theater. Whether it holds up legally—or operationally—may matter less than the narrative: the U.S. regaining control of a culturally dominant platform while sidelining Beijing.Lachlan Murdoch, Michael Dell, Ellison involved in TikTok deal, Trump says | ReutersTrump will sign order declaring TikTok deal meets 2024 law requirements | ReutersK&L Gates is closing its Beijing office, becoming the latest U.S. law firm to retreat from China amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and a sluggish legal market. The Pittsburgh-based firm will consolidate its Beijing operations into its Shanghai office following a leadership review of global strategy and real estate. The move comes under new global managing partner Stacy Ackermann, who took the helm in July.Though K&L Gates will maintain a presence in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and elsewhere in Asia, its exit from Beijing reflects a broader trend. Over the past two years, major U.S. firms like Wilson Sonsini, Cleary Gottlieb, and Winston & Strawn have also shuttered offices in China due to declining deal flow and increased scrutiny of foreign businesses. While some firms continue to operate in Chinese cities, the heyday of aggressive U.S. legal expansion into China—peaking about a decade ago—appears to be over. The firm's departure underscores the mounting challenges of navigating China's legal environment in an era of strategic decoupling.K&L Gates closes Beijing office as US law firms continue China market retreat | ReutersZillow is facing a new proposed class action lawsuit accusing it of deceiving homebuyers by steering them toward its own network of affiliated agents rather than the actual listing agents. Filed in Seattle, the suit claims Zillow's platform misleads users into contacting agents who financially benefit the company—sometimes giving Zillow as much as 40% of their commissions—without disclosing this arrangement to buyers or sellers.The plaintiff, an Oregon resident, argues that these tactics violate both Washington state consumer protection laws and federal real estate laws by inflating commissions and limiting consumer choice. The suit alleges Zillow's practices result in higher home prices and a lack of transparency about who truly represents the buyer's interests. The legal team behind the suit characterizes Zillow's business model as one that exploits consumers' need for housing to boost profits.Zillow has pushed back, calling the lawsuit a misrepresentation of its operations and defending its model as pro-consumer. This case adds to a growing list of legal challenges for the real estate giant, which is already battling other lawsuits over competition and marketing practices, including one from brokerage Compass and another from Homes.com owner CoStar.New lawsuit accuses Zillow of deceiving home buyers | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week argues that as states try to modernize sales tax rules for the digital economy, they should stop framing digital offerings as either “goods” or “services” and start taxing them based on function. The Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) is circulating a proposal to define “automated digital products” as those sold with minimal human intervention. While well-intentioned, this definition is fuzzy and risks creating more confusion than clarity. For example, how do we categorize a chatbot that occasionally escalates to a live agent, or AI tools that require ongoing human training? These gray areas aren't new—states have spent years litigating whether software is tangible, intangible, or a service, and this could be a repeat of that same cycle.Instead of defining digital products by how much human effort goes into delivering them, we should define them by what they do. A Netflix subscription is entertainment. QuickBooks is a productivity tool. Therapy on Zoom is health care. Consumers already experience digital services this way, and tax codes should align accordingly. Function-based categories would mirror existing tax practices, like how business deductions or ticket sales are handled, and would be far easier to scale to emerging technologies.It's true that a functional model still faces edge cases—ChatGPT, for instance, could be research, productivity, or entertainment depending on use. But these are better problems to have than trying to parse human involvement in the delivery pipeline. If states want to tax digital products sensibly, they need a system that reflects how people actually use these tools, not how they're coded or deployed. This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Little Rock NineOn September 4, 1957, a constitutional crisis unfolded in Little Rock, Arkansas, when Governor Orval Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to block nine Black students—known as the “Little Rock Nine”—from entering Central High School. This came after the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Faubus claimed the move was to prevent violence, but it was widely seen as defiance of federal desegregation orders.The legal showdown intensified the struggle between federal authority and states' rights. On September 4, the students arrived at Central High and were turned away by National Guard troops, prompting national outrage and escalating tensions over civil rights. In response, the NAACP filed a lawsuit in federal court, and on September 20, a federal judge ordered Faubus to remove the troops.The confrontation culminated later that month when President Dwight D. Eisenhower, invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, sent in federal troops from the 101st Airborne Division to enforce integration and protect the students. This marked one of the first times since Reconstruction that the federal government used military force to uphold civil rights rulings.This day is remembered as a pivotal moment in civil rights legal history, illustrating the federal judiciary's growing role in dismantling racial segregation and enforcing constitutional rights in the face of state resistance.President Trump's administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to urgently review a case challenging his use of emergency powers to impose broad tariffs. The request comes after a federal appeals court ruled on August 29 that Trump overstepped his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—a 1977 law historically used to sanction enemies or freeze assets, not to impose tariffs. Trump had used IEEPA earlier this year to justify tariffs targeting trade deficits and drug trafficking from countries like China, Canada, and Mexico.In the appeal, Solicitor General D. John Sauer emphasized the stakes, arguing that blocking the tariffs could endanger national security and economic stability. The administration asked the Court to decide by September 10 whether it will hear the case, hoping for arguments to be scheduled in November.Small businesses and a coalition of 12 Democrat-led states sued to block the tariffs, arguing that only Congress can impose them. The appeals court agreed, stating that IEEPA doesn't authorize tariffs and warning against giving the president unchecked economic powers. The ruling also cited the “major questions” doctrine, which limits executive authority unless clearly granted by Congress in matters of broad economic or political importance.The Trump administration argues that these tariffs are key tools for diplomacy and economic leverage. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Supreme Court to act quickly, saying the ruling undermines the president's ability to defend national interests. Other court decisions have similarly rejected Trump's tariff strategy, and at least eight related lawsuits are ongoing.Trump takes tariffs fight to US Supreme Court | ReutersA federal judge ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated $2.2 billion in federal research grants to Harvard University, marking a significant legal win for the school. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs found the administration's actions violated Harvard's First Amendment rights, characterizing the move as ideologically motivated retaliation. The administration had claimed the funding cuts were due to Harvard's failure to adequately address antisemitism on campus, particularly following pro-Palestinian protests after the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.Judge Burroughs acknowledged that Harvard had tolerated hateful behavior for too long but said the administration used antisemitism as a “smokescreen” for political pressure. She barred the government from cutting current or future funding and emphasized that academic research must be protected from arbitrary government action. Harvard had argued the funding cuts came after it resisted demands to restructure governance and academic programs to fit the administration's ideological expectations.The Trump administration has targeted several Ivy League schools over similar issues, including Columbia University, which agreed in July to pay $220 million to restore lost research funding. Trump previously said he would not settle with Harvard for less than $500 million. The administration has also tried to bar international students from Harvard and challenged its accreditation.While Harvard President Alan Garber praised the ruling for affirming academic freedom, he did not comment on ongoing settlement talks. The university's faculty chapter of the American Association of University Professors, which co-litigated the case, opposes any deal with the administration, arguing it would compromise the rights of the academic community.Trump administration unlawfully cut Harvard's funding, US judge rules | ReutersHarvard $2 Billion Funding Freeze Found Illegal by US Judge (3)Newsmax has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against Fox Corporation and Fox News Network, accusing them of using their dominance in right-leaning cable news to suppress competition and block Newsmax's growth. Filed in West Palm Beach, Florida, the lawsuit alleges that Fox pressured TV distributors to exclude or limit Newsmax, stalling the smaller network's expansion in the pay-TV market for nearly a decade.Newsmax claims Fox's actions deprived conservative viewers of diverse news options and calls for monetary damages and a court order to stop the alleged anti-competitive practices. CEO Christopher Ruddy stated the lawsuit aims to restore market fairness and consumer choice. Fox, in response, dismissed the suit as an attempt to mask Newsmax's market struggles, calling it headline-chasing.Founded in 1998, Newsmax entered the pay-TV space in 2014 and went public earlier in 2025. The company asserts its programming offers a non-establishment alternative to Fox and claims it now reaches over 40 million Americans. It also noted a ratings boost surrounding the 2020 election.This legal action follows Newsmax's recent $67 million defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over false claims about the 2020 election, and a previous confidential settlement with Smartmatic. Fox also settled with Dominion in 2023 for $787.5 million. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee.Newsmax sues Fox, claiming TV distribution deals strangled business | ReutersNewsmax Sues Fox News Claiming Conservative TV News Monopoly (2) This is a public episode.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats, the media, and some Republicans are portraying President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and the Constitution, but it's the opposite. Democratic Congress members, isolationist fake MAGA figures, Marxists, and Islamists are plotting to destroy American principles and the country, while being promoted by left-wing corporate media. Rep Rashida Tlaib is the enemy within, an Islamist who supports Hamas and seeks to destroy America.  She was at the People's Conference for Palestine, where she asserts Palestinians are "just getting started," and accuses "genocide enablers.” The speakers at this conference are part of the hate America crowd, undermining the U.S. from within.  Also, not all young people in America are problematic, but there's a significant portion who succumb to Marxist propaganda—often intertwined with Islamist rhetoric and issues like climate change—blaming systemic issues like capitalism, racism, or billionaires for personal shortcomings rather than taking responsibility. Life demands hard work, accountability, and individualism, and true freedom shouldn't require others' enslavement through taxes or systemic upheaval.  Later, over Labor Day weekend in Chicago at least 58 people were shot, including 8 fatalities and a drive-by wounding 7 victims. This is happening while Governor Pritzker claims crime is down. The Democratic Party is siding with criminals and offering no real solutions. Now Chicago Brandon Johnson is claiming Trump is “militarizing” Chicago. Did Ike "militarize" our schools when he federalized the National Guard in 1957 to escort black students into Central High School?  Of course not! The governor refused to allow the students safe passage into the school and blocked them from entering the school. Trump is not "militarizing" Chicago. He wants to ensure the people there are safe while the mayor and the governor are failing horribly and people are literally dying. Learn more about your ad choices.

It took five years, a global pandemic, extensive value engineering and a lot of uncertainty, but the new Sussex Central High School is finally ready to open its doors to students, staff and the community. In our first back-to-school episode for 2025-2026, we speak with two people for whom the opening of the new school has special meaning.

(Laramie, WY) - University of Wyoming football strong safety Andrew Johnson is no stranger to altitude. The Cheyenne-native and Central High School graduate plays at the division one campus with the highest altitude in the nation, 7,220 feet above sea level. After his final season on the gridiron, his goals go even higher. "I've loved aviation since I was a kid," Johnson told County 10 at UW Media Day Monday in Laramie. He explained that he spent much of his off-season flying around Wyoming and Montana, marveling about flying over the Tetons and Big Horn Mountains. "Now, my goal is to become a fighter pilot." Later joking that his favorite movie is 'Top Gun.' While ambitions to become a fighter pilot seem lofty, Andrew has already crossed off his first major life goal. Wearing the brown and gold. "It was my dream since I was a kid. It was everything I ever wanted to do. So when Coach Bohl gave me the opportunity to do so, it was the easiest decision of my life." The former Central High wide receiver and defensive back appeared in 11 games for the Pokes and started 5 of them last year. He recorded 19 solo tackles and 11 assisted tackles. This season, he's expected to be a leader on the Cowboy defense. "We're bringing that toughness back to Wyoming football," Johnson said about summer camp. "Something that I experienced a lot in my early years here and that's something we need to maintain and bring into the season." Catch our full chat with Johnson in the player below! Wyoming football kicks off August 28th against Akron. Listen to every Cowboy football game in Fremont County this season on KOVE Radio, 1330 AM and 107.7 FM!

He was one of the top prep basketball players in the state of Missouri in his junior and senior years at Central High School in Kansas City. So, when the colleges came running, he accepted a full ride to the University of Arkansas. Despite being unable to read or write, he went on to be one of the most prolific players to grace the Razorbacks' campus. In 1974, Tolson was the first basketball player to be drafted by both the NBA and the ABA, having been selected by the Seattle Supersonics and the New York Nets, respectively, playing for the legendary Bill Russell in Seattle. Following his basketball career, Tolson made the courageous decision to re-enroll at the University of Arkansas, and repeated all four years, this time legitimately. At the age of fifty-two, he returned to the university for three more years, earning a master's degree and graduated magna cum laude. Tolson's gripping story from his childhood in an orphanage to his academic achievements is not only an indictment of a system that would just “pass you along” from grade to grade as a hot basketball prospect without any educational accountability, but also an inspiring story of overcoming great odds to find success.He is the author of Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude master's degree. https://www.deantolson.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Like most school districts in Minnesota, St. Paul Public Schools is facing a complicated set of challenges. Enrollment is up a bit this year, but the small increase follows years of decline. The district faces a budget shortfall, has already made deep cuts and plans to ask voters this fall to approve a tax increase to support schools.  At the same time, student performance is stuck where it was before the pandemic and proposals from President Donald Trump and from Republicans in Congress would reduce support for public education.   MPR News host Angela Davis talks about the challenges facing public education with St. Paul's new superintendent, Stacie Stanley.  Guest:Stacie Stanley is the superintendent of St. Paul Public Schools, the second largest school district in Minnesota. Prior to joining the district in May, she served three years as the superintendent of Edina Public Schools, as associate superintendent in Eden Prairie Schools and on the leadership team in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District. She's been a classroom teacher, curriculum math specialist and a principal. She graduated from St. Paul's Central High School.

When you realize someone you have always known strictly as an authority figure has a personal life, you begin to see them in an entirely different way. A dad, a husband, humanized, vulnerable. My former high school teacher had an entire story unfolding outside of the brick and mortar of Central High School. Listen as this tight local father-and-daughter combo come to Kitchen Table Studios to talk adoption, the One-Child Policy in China, the influx of adoptions and societal dynamics only a few decades ago, the families that connected during this time for the same goal, the weekend that pivoted the Scott's life plan and the big brother. I will never forget the independent thinking daughter, Ella, and the respect and space that she was given by her dad to tell her story, pursue her lineage in any way she chooses and the consideration she gave to where she came from. I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.

It was a Friday night in 1964, recalls Greg McMoore. A line of men stretched out the Young Brothers barbershop on Fourth Avenue in south Minneapolis. McMoore was just a kid then, but he could tell they were there for more than just haircuts.He remembers seeing a group head to the backroom and begging his father to let him sneak a glimpse. “It was all in fun,” he reminisced with a laugh. “They were back there cooking soul food, playing cards and having a good time in the backroom.”Now 71, McMoore carries vibrant memories of the southside with him each day — scenes from when it was a bustling and tight-knit middle class African American community. His brain is such a warehouse of southside knowledge he was recruited to help preserve the city's African American history. “I'm viewed as an elder now,” McMoore said. “And there aren't very many of us left to be able to talk about what was here.”Through May 2025, he'll be part of the African American Heritage Work Group — a 15-person advisory board guiding the city in efforts to research and document sites of significance, ultimately narrowing in on three to nominate to the National Register of Historic Places.It's a group with artists, educators and historians from the northside to the southside, including familiar names like documentarian Daniel Bergin and health advocate Beverly Propes.Each member brings their own passion to the table, and for McMoore that's serving as a voice for the southside, where his family has called home for over a century.A child of the 50s, McMoore is among the eldest in the group. His family escaped slavery in Virginia, making their new home in Hastings between 1865 and 1870 — one of the first Black families to settle in the area. In 1912, his grandmother moved to south Minneapolis after graduating high school, and his family has been here ever since.For McMoore, honoring history is more than just marking spots with remembrance.“I'm always thinking about where we came from as developing an understanding of where we're going to go,” he said. “You have to know where you came from if you want to talk about who you are and how you can move forward with it.”The hub of the southside communityOn a crisp fall day, McMoore pointed out some of those roots, starting with the former hub that had it all: the intersection at 38th Street and Fourth Avenue. Though he calls that intersection a flyover street now, he can quickly recall how it used to buzz. “When you came into this community, especially when you went across 38th Street, you know, there was something in the air,” he said. “You felt that you belonged to something, and it was a sense of strength and vitality.”Between the 1930s and 1970s, more than 20 Black-owned businesses stood tall along the corridor. One of the earlier gems was Dreamland Café. That was the social club opened in 1937 by Anthony B. Cassius, a civil rights activist and the first Black man to obtain a liquor license in Minneapolis.Cassius's bars were some of the first integrated spaces in the city and few places where African Americans could safely gather and socialize. Another Cassius-stamped staple — the Nacirema Club (that's American spelled backwards) — was a couple streets over. It's a church now, but McMoore amusedly remembers his father ushering him in when he came of age. Both Dreamland and the Nacirema, as well as Cassius's house, are on the heritage group's research list. Most of the iconic landmarks at the intersection of 38th and 4th are now gone, but still standing is the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder, the Black-owned newspaper which recently celebrated its 90th year. A bright blue mural covers the brick, decorated with notable names and portraits, from Cecil Newman to Norma Jean Williams. “You can go along [the mural] and all of us, all the families, we all knew each other, too,” McMoore said. “In many ways, it's the families that drove this community and protected it.”‘It feels like I'm driving through my living room'As McMoore got in his white “retro Chevy,” driving beyond the intersection, the power of southside names was apparent. He pointed out their old homes. Willie Mays, baseball legend. Lena O. Smith, Minnesota's first African American woman lawyer. The Bowman house, where Earl Bowman, the first Black president at a Minnesota community college, resided; and the Hughes home, where the trailblazing golfer Solomon Hughes Sr. and legal scholars lived. Then, McMoore approached a bridge over I-35W. He looked down at the trail of cars, rushing 60 miles per hour over concrete — once green lawns in the old predominantly African American community.“Whenever I head to downtown Minneapolis on the freeway, I know exactly where the house was, and it feels like I'm driving through my living room,” he said. “Many folks talk about 94 going through St. Paul and destroying Rondo, but over here it was 35 going through South Minneapolis, and it dismantled our community.”Freeway construction in the 60s wiped out homes where over 80 percent of the Twin Cities Black population lived, destroying the opportunity to build wealth. To this day, the racial homeownership gap in Minneapolis remains one of the highest in the nation.“Things like that aren't just coincidental,” McMoore said, a hard glint to his eye. In his neighborhood, the freeway trench marked the start of a shift, as families were displaced and residents east and west were literally divided. The community's vitality dulled as pressures from crime rose, then took another turn when Central High School — the neighborhood's castle-like “pride and joy” on the hill — was demolished in the 80s. With the local high school gone —  a place that produced the likes of Prince, the city's first Black mayor Sharon Sayles Belton and the state's first Black woman judge Pamela Alexander — more families left.Marking history as a guideBut McMoore, who spent some years working in D.C. and South America, has always come back. He said the community in which he grew up — the foundation for his values, his home —doesn't have to remain a still life from the past. He says it's a guide to what makes communities livable, of how strength can be found in getting to know your neighbors and looking out for one another. “We have to learn from the past and how all of us can come together to revitalize the neighborhood,” he said. “And it starts with things like the cultural corridor, understanding the history of it, and honoring the history with markers.”There's more for people to learn from one another, he said, in order to collaborate and create together. There's more work to be done there, too, he said.On the steps of the Sabathani Community Center, McMoore punctuates his southside tour: “So let's do something about that.”

This Day in Legal History: Brown v. Board StandsOn September 12, 1958, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in Cooper v. Aaron, reaffirming the authority of federal courts and rejecting Arkansas's attempt to defy the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling. The case arose after Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus and the state legislature openly resisted desegregation, particularly in Little Rock, where African American students were blocked from entering Central High School. Arkansas argued that it was not bound by the Brown decision, claiming state sovereignty over education. The Supreme Court decisively rejected this argument, emphasizing that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and that state officials are bound by its rulings.In a powerful opinion, the Court reiterated that its 1954 decision in Brown, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, was "the law of the land." The justices underscored that state defiance of federal court orders violated the Constitution, asserting that "the basic principle that the federal judiciary is supreme in the exposition of the law of the Constitution" must be upheld. This decision was critical in enforcing civil rights and strengthening federal power to ensure desegregation, marking a pivotal moment in the fight against state resistance to integration.Three law firms leading litigation against Johnson & Johnson (J&J) over talc-related cancer claims are now clashing in court. Beasley Allen, an Alabama-based firm, has sued the Smith Law Firm and Porter Malouf, alleging they owe more than $1 million in litigation expenses. Beasley Allen also claims that Smith Law, burdened by up to $240 million in debt to outside funders, is pushing clients to accept a $6.5 billion settlement with J&J that Beasley opposes. The settlement deal requires 75% approval from claimants and was initiated as J&J sought bankruptcy protection for its talc-related liabilities. Beasley Allen argues the settlement is unfair and insufficient for clients, while Smith Law supports it. Smith Law denies the allegations, calling Beasley Allen's lawsuit "baseless." Beasley Allen contends that Smith's financial issues have caused the firm to undermine their joint litigation agreement, which began in 2014. The dispute centers on alleged unpaid expenses and control over client decisions. Additionally, Beasley Allen is involved in a separate legal battle accusing J&J of misusing the bankruptcy process.J&J Talc Suit Law Firms Clash Over $6.5 Billion Settlement (2)J&J's proposed talc settlement sparks lawsuit between plaintiffs' firms | ReutersThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has upheld the Labor Department's authority to use salary levels in determining overtime pay exemptions, supporting a rule issued under the Trump administration and providing a legal boost for a similar rule introduced by the Biden administration. The ruling involved a 2019 regulation that mandates salaried workers earning less than $35,568 annually to receive overtime pay, which was challenged by Robert Mayfield, a business owner from Texas. Mayfield argued that overtime exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) should be based solely on job duties, not salary levels. However, the court found that the Department of Labor (DOL) has long held the authority to set salary thresholds, with guidance from Congress. This decision is expected to bolster the Biden administration's 2024 overtime rule, which raises the salary threshold to $58,656 and aims to expand overtime protections to 4 million workers. Mayfield's legal challenge partly aimed to prevent the Biden rule from taking effect, but courts have consistently sided with the DOL. This ruling is seen as a win for the Biden administration in its effort to expand worker protections.Fifth Circuit Upholds Labor Department's Overtime Authority (2)A Philadelphia jury ruled in favor of Bayer's Monsanto in a lawsuit claiming that the company's Roundup weed killer causes cancer. This marks a win for Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018 for $63 billion and has since faced numerous lawsuits alleging Roundup's cancer risks. The case involved product liability claims, but the jury sided with Monsanto, continuing Bayer's efforts to defend against the wave of litigation surrounding Roundup. Despite many legal challenges, this verdict adds to a series of mixed outcomes for Bayer in Roundup-related cases.Jury rules in favor of Bayer's Monsanto in Philadelphia trial over Roundup | ReutersA federal indictment has charged Michael Smith with using bots to artificially inflate streaming numbers for AI-generated music, earning over $10 million in royalties. Smith's scheme, which spanned seven years, involved creating thousands of fake email accounts to stream his AI-generated tracks on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. AI allowed Smith to scale the operation by generating vast amounts of content, evading detection for years. The indictment marks the first criminal case involving artificially inflated music streams, signaling the Department of Justice's increasing focus on streaming fraud. Despite some platforms identifying suspicious activity early on, Smith continued his scheme by using bots to manipulate stream counts. The indictment highlights the vulnerability of streaming platforms to fraud, as well as the potential impact on the music industry's revenue model. The DOJ charged Smith with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. This case emphasizes the need for stronger fraud-prevention measures as AI technology becomes more integrated into content creation.AI Music Fraud Indictment Brings Scrutiny to Streaming Inflation This is a public episode.

The Bumgarner family has deep roots in Tulsa that began in 1903 when John's grandfather, A.A.Bumgarner, came to Tulsa and established a grocery store at 15 East 2nd Street.A.A. was successful in business and established a family tradition of community service through his work as a board member for Tulsa Public Schools.

This Day in Legal History: Orval Faubus Resists Brown v. Board of EducationOn September 4, 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus made a highly controversial decision to call in the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine Black students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," from entering Central High School. This action directly defied a federal court order mandating the integration of public schools, following the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in schools unconstitutional. Faubus argued that the move was necessary to prevent violence, but critics saw it as a blatant attempt to resist desegregation.The crisis quickly escalated into a national issue. President Dwight D. Eisenhower responded by deploying the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock on September 24, 1957, and federalized the Arkansas National Guard to ensure that the students could safely attend school. This marked one of the most significant federal interventions in a state's civil rights matter during the 20th century. The standoff highlighted the ongoing resistance to civil rights in the South and the federal government's increasing role in enforcing civil rights legislation. Central High School became a symbol of the struggle to dismantle Jim Crow segregation, and the courage of the Little Rock Nine became a defining moment in the broader civil rights movement.After leaving the governorship, Orval Faubus made several unsuccessful attempts to reclaim his political position, running in the Democratic primaries in 1970, 1974, and 1986 but losing to prominent figures such as Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, and Bill Clinton. Despite these defeats, Faubus remained active in politics and made a surprising shift in the 1980s by supporting civil rights leader Jesse Jackson during the 1984 and 1988 Democratic presidential primaries. Faubus passed away from prostate cancer on December 14, 1994, and was laid to rest in Combs, Arkansas.Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a court filing that he would plead not guilty to the charges in a revised indictment accusing him of trying to overturn the 2020 election. The indictment, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, reiterates the original four charges, including fraud and obstruction related to the election's certification. Trump chose to waive his court appearance, allowing his attorneys to enter the plea on his behalf. The indictment was revised after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump has broad immunity from prosecution over actions taken during his presidency. Trump's legal team and prosecutors are set to meet to determine next steps following the court's decision.Trump to plead not guilty to charges in revised US indictment | ReutersA U.S. judge ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot move his New York hush-money case to federal court, denying his bid to delay sentencing beyond the November 2024 election. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein stated that Trump's actions, involving hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, were private and unrelated to his presidential duties, falling outside the bounds of federal jurisdiction. Trump argued the case should be dismissed based on the Supreme Court's ruling granting broad immunity to presidents for official conduct, but Hellerstein found the payments were not part of his official role. Trump has filed an appeal, continuing his efforts to transfer the case, while his sentencing remains scheduled for September 18. The case stems from Trump's conviction for falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Daniels to suppress claims of a past affair during the 2016 campaign.Trump Loses Bid to Move NY Hush-Money Case to Federal Court (3)Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite broadband company, has complied with a Brazilian Supreme Court order to block access to the social media platform X in Brazil, after initially resisting the directive. The court's order, issued by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, included freezing Starlink's accounts to secure potential fines owed by X, which is also owned by Musk. Despite calling the freeze illegal, Starlink announced it would follow the court order. Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, confirmed that Starlink had begun restricting access to X. The platform was ordered blocked for lacking a legal representative in Brazil, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court. Starlink has since initiated legal proceedings challenging the order, arguing it violates Brazil's constitution. The conflict stems from a prior Moraes ruling that targeted X for spreading misinformation and hate speech, which Musk denounced as censorship. Some users in Brazil continue to access X through alternative methods like VPNs.Starlink backtracks, complies with order blocking X in Brazil, says regulator | ReutersA group of Republican-led states filed a lawsuit on September 3, 2024, seeking to block the Biden administration's new student loan relief plan. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Georgia, claims the U.S. Education Department is overstepping its authority by pushing forward with a revised debt forgiveness plan after previous versions were halted by courts. This follows the Supreme Court's August 28 refusal to reinstate Biden's earlier loan forgiveness initiative. The latest plan, which targets borrowers with increasing loan balances or those in repayment for over 20 years, is being challenged for allegedly circumventing prior court injunctions. The states, including Missouri and Georgia, argue the plan is unlawfully advancing and seek an immediate restraining order. Biden has continued efforts to reduce student debt after his initial forgiveness plan, which aimed to cancel up to $20,000 in loans for millions, was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023.Biden Student Loan Relief Plan Faces Fresh GOP-Led Lawsuit This is a public episode.

During the late 1960s, Dean Tolson ("Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude Master's Degree") emerged as a standout prep basketball talent during his junior and senior years at Central High School in Kansas City, Missouri. His prowess on the court attracted the attention of a bevy of college recruiters, leading him to accept a full scholarship offer from the nearby University of Arkansas. Despite literally not knowing how to read or write, Tolson defied significant odds, and became one of the most renowned players in Razorbacks history. In 1974, Tolson was drafted by both the NBA's Seattle Supersonics and the ABA's New York Nets - eventually joining the Sonics to play under the tutelage of the legendary Bill Russell in Seattle, and showcasing his talent on a national stage.  An 11-year journeyman career followed, with stops in the Eastern Basketball Association (Hazleton Bullets), the CBA (including a 1980 league championship with the Anchorage Northern Knights), and pro leagues in both Greece and the Philippines. After retiring from basketball, Tolson made the courageous decision to re-enroll at the University of Arkansas, determined to pursue his education authentically - repeating all four years of college and finally obtaining his degree through legitimate means. Remarkably, he returned to the university once again at age 52, earning a master's degree with magna cum laude honors. Tolson's journey, from his challenging upbringing in an orphanage to his remarkable academic achievements, serves as a powerful indictment of a system that often prioritizes athletic talent over educational accountability. His story sheds light on the pervasive issue of athletes being "passed along" without facing the academic rigor expected of their peers. Yet, amidst these challenges, Tolson's story is a beacon of inspiration - showcasing resilience and determination to overcome formidable odds to (eventually) achieve success.  + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY   SPONSOR THANKS: Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2   BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude Master's Degree (2023): https://amzn.to/4btrTJ7   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Abbie Chase is a junior at McCook Central High School and is serving as the chapter's Vice-President of Building Community.  Abbie is also a very determined bee keeper, which you will figure out when you hear her story, and she is growing the number of hives she keeps as quickly as she can.   This was a very interesting interview for me because it incorporated a story of a severe weather phenomena that I have never experienced.  Abbie did experience this, and it really changed her outlook on the service component of being in the FFA.  It also impacted her personally because of the impact that it had on her bee hives at the time when it occurred.  So, in today's episode not only is there a great story of an outstanding FFA student, but there is a great weather story that leads right into perseverance in agriculture!
