Friends of the Rosary,At that time, as we read today (Mark 12-13-17), some Pharisees and Herodians tested Jesus by asking whether it was lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar. He amazed them:“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesarand to God what belongs to God.”Jesus went deep by putting every loyalty in its proper order: the coin bears Caesar's image, so it may be returned to Caesar; the human person bears God's image, so the whole person belongs to God.Mind you, God's image is stamped upon ourselves. The human soul bears God's image. The self belongs wholly to God.The main theological lesson: Civil duties have their place, but conscience, worship, truth, and the soul belong to God.In this Gospel, Jesus does not merely escape a political ambush; he teaches that worldly power is limited. Caesar may receive the coin, but he cannot claim the heart, said St. John ChrysostomSt. Augustine said, To render to God what is God's” means to return ourselves to him: our memory, intellect, will, body, conscience, and love. The coin goes back to Caesar; the soul must go back to God.Today is the Optional Memorial of Saints and Roman martyrs Marcellinus and Peter (d. 304), who were an exorcist and a priest.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Why does eschatology matter? Is it merely speculation about the future, or does it shape how Christians live, work, evangelize, and engage the world today? In this special episode of The World View, EM co-founder Josh Howard joins Alex Kocman in studio to discuss how our view of the future influences the mission of the church. Together they explore Christ's present reign, the Great Commission, cultural engagement, civil responsibility, and whether Christians should expect victory or retreat. Far from being an abstract theological debate, eschatology affects how believers think about discipleship, nation-building, evangelism, and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom in history.If the church is called to disciple the nations, then our understanding of the future matters more than many realize.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

The New York Times‘ obituary (5/18/26) for former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman quotes him saying that “policemen never get the benefit of the doubt.” The racism of Mark Fuhrman, the Los Angeles police detective whose involvement in the O.J. Simpson murder investigation helped sink the prosecution's case, was so well-known comedian Dana Carvey once mocked him with a Nazi salute, calling him “Mark the Fuhrer-man.” Fuhrman's death this month (New York Times, 5/18/26) took middle-aged and older Americans back to 1995, when the televised trial of Simpson, accused of murdering his ex-wife and her friend, dominated media for much of the year. During the trial, audio recordings and witness testimony revealed Fuhrman's use of the n-word and other racist views, sinking his credibility as the cop responsible for recovering the “bloody glove,” the key piece of evidence tying Simpson to the killings. Because he had previously testified that he never used the word, it opened an opportunity for the defense to suggest he wasn't honest about other things—and had a motivation to frame a Black celebrity. Unrelenting racism In July 2017, CNN‘s Kyra Phillips played new excerpts from the Fuhrman tapes. The tapes portrayed hours of unrelenting racism. “All these n*****s in L.A. city government…all of them should be lined up against a wall and fucking shot,” he said. And often sexism as well: “What if I’ve just been raped by two buck n*****s, and a female shows up?” During the trial, witness Kathleen Bell testified that Fuhrman had said, “If I had my way, all the n*****s would be gathered together and burned.” Bell told the court, “When he sees a Black man with a white woman driving in a car, he pulls them over,” with no traffic violation needed (Washington Post, 9/5/95). Fuhrman became the national representation of the American racist cop. He invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about his handling of evidence (LA Times, 9/7/95), offering the shadow of a doubt the jury needed to acquit the former football and movie star. In his fiery closing argument, defense attorney Johnnie Cochran characterized Fuhrman as “this perjurer, this racist, this genocidal racist.” Fuhrman pleaded no contest to a perjury charge a year later (CNN, 10/2/96). But there was something bigger about Fuhrman, and it's something we can deeply feel in the media environment today. ‘Unwitting catalyst’ Mark Fuhrman interviewed in ESPN‘s OJ: Made in America (2016). The legal “dream team” Simpson assembled certainly focused on pushing the jury for an acquittal—that's a defense lawyer's job. But as outlined in both the dramatized The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story on FX and ESPN's OJ: Made in America, defense lead Cochran also built a larger case for a larger audience. (Side note: FAIR's Janine Jackson briefly appears in the ESPN documentary in a segment about media coverage of the trial.) Nicole Brown Simpson was killed at her Los Angeles home, along with Ron Goldman, on June 12, 1994, just two years after the city was engulfed in racial rioting as a result of an acquittal of police officers who had been videotaped brutally beating a Black man, Rodney King. For much of America, the rioting was a dividing moment. Civil rights activists saw it as the explosion of a powder keg under pressure of decades of tension between LA's Black community and the cops. A great deal of white America saw the rioting as an inexplicable overreaction. Press voices had their doubts too. Newsweek (5/10/92) called the looting “a manic fiesta, a TV game show with every looter a winner.” Cochran set out to change the narrative, to demonstrate to the white public that Black Los Angeles has systemically suffered from racist policing. Ben Ehrenreich (Guardian, 4/22/20): “The thousands of African Americans who migrated to Los Angeles from the Jim Crow south had found similar cruel realities awaiting them.” In Set the Night on Fire, Mike Davis and Jon Weiner outline the ongoing war against the Black community by LA cops in the 1960s, erupting in the 1965 Watts riots. From the Guardian‘s review (4/22/20): LA's police make dramatic appearances in almost every chapter, clubbing peaceful protesters, brutalizing activists and killing so many Black men, and with such absolute impunity, that Davis and Wiener's claim that “the Manson gang were bit players compared to the forces of law and order” ends up feeling more than fair. In the authors' telling, the wanton violence of the police acted as a consistent if unwitting catalyst to historical change: It was the chaos that followed a ferocious LAPD assault on anti-war protesters that added to Lyndon Johnson's decision not to run for re-election in 1968, and the LAPD's murder of a Black Muslim named Ronald Stokes—seven other Muslims were shot in the same incident—that pushed Malcolm X towards a broader vision of Black liberation. The shared experience of LAPD violence, Davis and Wiener write, forged a “common culture of resistance” among Black and Chicano youth, white hipsters and anti-war activists, and the city's gay community. This situation hardly improved with the economic turmoil of the 1970s, or the reactionary retreat of the 1980s. For many Black Angelenos, the 1992 riots weren't about one videotape, but about this entire history. Cochran had an opportunity to reveal the situation in the early ’90s to America. And with Fuhrman, who was called by the prosecution to bring the bloody glove into evidence, Cochran was able to show a feverishly racist man at the center of this investigation. ‘Kill somebody and go have some chicken’ Sean Hannity (Hannity, 1/10/23) interviewing Pam Bondi (then a former Florida attorney general) and Mark Fuhrman. In the end, Simpson was acquitted, and Fuhrman became a symbol of a divided America. It’s quite telling that the disgraced cop later found a landing place on Fox News. The Murdoch media empire created the news network the year after the Simpson trial as the antithesis to what it claimed was a liberal slant in corporate television news. Bringing on Fuhrman as a recurring guest—and, later, giving him his own show on Fox Nation—didn’t just promote his own public rehabilitation, it foretold a shift in “acceptable” discourse on right-wing TV. Fox‘s Greta van Susteren (5/19/05) defended having him on as a frequent guest: Mark happens to be a very, very, very smart detective—one of the best I have ever worked with and I have worked with many. He really thinks about the investigations we book him on the show to discuss. But Fox was attracted to Fuhrman not by his smarts, but by his hate. The racism that spilled out in the Simpson trial—Fuhrman's animosity toward the people who he was sworn to protect and serve—catered directly to the Fox audience. Another Fox star that routinely showcased Fuhrman was Sean Hannity (Extra!, 9/13). On Hannity & Colmes (11/16/06; cited by Media Matters, 11/20/06), Fuhrman asserted that the the type of “people” he “dealt with … for 20 years” will kill somebody and go have some chicken at KFC. You will catch them eating chicken and drinking a beer after they just murdered three people. He added that “these people are out there. They’re all over the place.” In another appearance, Hannity (Hannity, 7/16/13) brought the ex-cop on to speculate on whether Black people would riot if George Zimmerman were found not guilty of murdering an unarmed Trayvon Martin in Florida. “Mark, it seems to me like it's going to be a dangerous scenario for the cities where this is going to occur,” said Hannity. Fuhrman replied, “I think you're right, Sean,” and proceeded to fantasize about protesters “assaulting people, assaulting officers, so when you cross that line, it's pretty obvious, and, you know, this is completely drawn on racial lines now.” ‘They just take more and more’ “You can always find something that doesn’t look like justice was served one way or another,” Mark Fuhrman tells Megyn Kelly (and right-wing novelist Brad Thor) on Fox‘s Kelly File (7/8/16). Fuhrman had nothing but contempt for the Black Lives Matter movement erupting in Ferguson, Missouri. He told Fox News' Megyn Kelly (8/10/15): Stopping traffic is not a lawful demonstration. Stopping pedestrians is not a lawful demonstration. Stopping regular traffic on sidewalks in front of buildings. That is not lawful demonstrations. And they should enforce it. And you know, when you allow some kind of, you know, leeway, they just take more and more. And now we have people that are not on the city council and they’re not on the police department, no matter how represented the Black community is. They are not there. You’re dealing with gang members and street drug dealers that are just hanging out. They’re armed and they’re taking advantage of a hesitant police department. How did Fuhrman respond to a video of “a white school police officer in a Columbia [South Carolina] classroom grabbing an African-American student by the neck, flipping her backward as she sat at her desk, then dragging and throwing her across the floor” (New York Times, 10/26/15)? He made the officer a saint on Fox. Media Matters (10/27/15) quoted Fuhrman: He requested her. He verbally did that. The next level is he put a hand on her. She escalated it from there. He used soft control. He threw her on the ground, he handcuffed her. He didn’t use mace. He didn’t use a Taser. He didn’t use a stick. He didn’t kick her. He didn’t hit her. He didn’t choke her. He used a minimal amount of force necessary to effect an arrest. In 2019, he attacked Democratic presidential hopefuls for their police reform rhetoric on the Ingraham Angle (8/2/19), saying those politicians were looking to win “that 18-to-25-year-old base that is involved in all these movements—these anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-republic, anti-Trump” movements. He eventually was given his own show on Fox News spinoff Fox Nation, the Fuhrman Diaries, which ran from 2018 to 2022. (Fox promoted him as “America's most controversial detective”—LA Times, 11/29/18.) ‘Total reputational annihilation’ Just because someone lied under oath about using racial slurs dozens of times doesn’t mean they should be canceled (Wall Street Journal, 5/20/26)—and by “canceled,” we mean given their own TV show. People can and do change over time. Fuhrman gave a somewhat nuanced view on Fox News (Ingraham Angle, 5/29/20) about the police killing of George Floyd, which resulted in widespread political unrest. He called Floyd's killing “a slow-motion homicide,” and said the video footage was “a slow and really painful thing to watch of somebody grinding somebody’s face into the pavement until they’re dead.” At the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, columnist Matthew Hennessey (5/20/26) christened Fuhrman a victim of cancel culture, admitting that he was a “bad cop,” but that he was among the first to suffer the total reputational annihilation that has become a hallmark of life in the digital era, where everything you say—or have ever said—will one day be used against you in the court of public opinion. It’s a strange sort of “reputational annihilation” that gets you regularly showcased on a national cable TV network, and then gives you your own show. Fuhrman’s afterlife as a commentator foretold a media conservatism that flips the narrative about racist policing on its head, where prejudice becomes a sign of expertise. It’s a legacy we live with today in MAGA America, even with Fuhrman having departed this world. Research assistance: Priyanka Bansal

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
For 34 years, Todd Gabler sat on the defense side of the courtroom. Over a hundred homicide cases, always working to challenge the prosecution's theory. That was the job. Then an estate planning attorney connected him with Eric Richins' sister Katie — the same attorney Eric had quietly hired before his death to build a trust that cut Kouri out. The assignment was civil. Property disputes. Trust litigation. Nothing that should have led where it led.But Gabler pulled phone records. And those records told a story the Summit County Sheriff's Office hadn't heard yet. Kouri Richins' third most frequent contact in the months surrounding her husband's death was a housekeeper with a drug-connected criminal history who was testing positive in court-ordered drug screenings. Gabler saw it before anyone with a badge did. He started pulling threads — 50 interviews, GPS surveillance, and an entire family on Kouri's side that refused to say a word.In Part 1 of this three-part interview, Gabler tells Tony Brueski what it was like to walk into a civil assignment and realize he was standing inside a homicide — and what happens when a career defense investigator can't unsee what the evidence is showing him.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Was Barney Frank a political hero, a lightning rod—or both? Following the death of the trailblazing gay former Congressmember on May 19, Lucia Chappelle explores the triumphs, tensions, and contradictions behind one of the most influential and debated LGBTQ political figures in U.S. history. Included are recollections from Andy Humm, Ann Northrop of GayUSA and journalist Karen Ocamb (Substack: LGBTQ+ Freedom Fighters). Archive audio from This Way Out archives. And in a Rainbow Rewind, Sir Ian McKellen reflects on coming out. This week's NewsWrap on This Way Out reports on a rise in drug-resistant Shigella infections disproportionately affecting queer men, as health experts urge prevention without stigma. Missouri LGBTQ+ advocates celebrate the defeat of dozens of anti-queer bills during the state's legislative session, while activists worldwide mark IDAHOBIT amid both ongoing criminalization and notable legal victories for LGBTQ+ people. In the U.S., a federal judge temporarily blocks the transfer of transgender women to men's prisons, and the House advances a controversial “Don't Say Trans” bill targeting transgender students and schools. We also close with a milestone from Leeds, where newly installed Lord Mayor Stephen Holroyd and his partner Simon Mapals make local LGBTQ+ history.

The defense team for Alex Murdaugh filed a federal civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 against former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, alleging she deprived the defendant of his constitutional right to a fair trial before an untampered jury. The South Carolina Supreme Court's reversal already found her conduct warranted a new trial. The federal complaint is designed to use civil discovery mechanisms — depositions, document subpoenas, interrogatories, sworn testimony — to investigate the full scope of Hill's actions and determine whether she acted independently.The complaint highlights the removal of juror Myra Crosby during deliberations as a critical incident requiring deeper examination. Defense counsel Jim Griffin stated publicly that the central question is whether Hill was a lone actor or whether others had knowledge of her conduct. The suit seeks damages exceeding six hundred thousand dollars representing the cost of the original trial, with all recovered funds directed to the receivership — not the defendant.The defense has argued that the state's investigation of Hill's conduct was inadequate — that it never treated the interference as the constitutional violation the Supreme Court subsequently determined it to be, and never pursued the evidence to its conclusion. The federal action is structured to reach what state-level proceedings did not.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examine the lawsuit's discovery strategy and its implications for the retrial.Separately, the defense's retrial strategy is coming into focus. The Supreme Court's published skepticism about twelve hours of financial crimes testimony creates a significant evidentiary constraint for the prosecution. The defense will invoke the court's own language to challenge every financial witness. The physical evidence stands on its own for the first time: no DNA connecting the defendant to the killings, no blood, both weapons unrecovered, no eyewitnesses, and a crime scene compromised by weather and foot traffic. Whether Murdaugh testifies again — likely compelled by the kennel video recording — becomes a fundamentally different calculation without weeks of financial testimony preceding it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The defense team didn't file this lawsuit just to hold Becky Hill accountable. They filed it to investigate her. Civil discovery gives them tools the state never used — subpoenas, depositions, sworn testimony under penalty of perjury — and the complaint makes clear they intend to use every one of them.The Section 1983 claim alleges Hill deprived Alex Murdaugh of his constitutional right to a fair trial before an untampered jury. The South Carolina Supreme Court already found her conduct warranted reversal. Jim Griffin raised the central question at the press conference: was Becky Hill a lone wolf? Or did someone else know what was happening during those deliberations? The complaint highlights the suspicious removal of juror Myra Crosby as a critical incident the defense believes has never been adequately examined. The suit seeks more than six hundred thousand dollars in damages tied to the original trial's cost, all flowing to the receivership — none to Murdaugh personally.The defense argues the state never thoroughly investigated Hill's conduct, never treated it as the constitutional violation the Supreme Court subsequently found it to be, and never followed the evidence to its logical end. This federal action is designed to reach what the state wouldn't touch.The lawsuit sits alongside the broader defense strategy for trial two. The Supreme Court's ruling created an evidentiary firewall around the financial testimony — clear skepticism about the twelve-hour presentation and instructions to sharply limit it at retrial. The defense will challenge every financial witness armed with the court's own published language. Behind that firewall, the physical case stands exposed: no DNA on the defendant, no blood, both weapons still missing, no eyewitnesses, and a crime scene compromised from the start. The question of whether Murdaugh takes the stand again looms — the kennel video recording likely forces his hand, but the calculation shifts dramatically without weeks of financial crimes testimony preceding it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The behavioral question at the center of the Becky Hill lawsuit isn't whether she tampered with the jury. The Supreme Court already answered that. The question is whether she did it alone — and whether the people around her knew.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examine the federal civil rights claim Murdaugh's defense team filed against Hill. The Section 1983 lawsuit alleges she deprived Murdaugh of his constitutional right to a fair trial. But the real purpose is the discovery process. Civil subpoenas, depositions, sworn testimony — tools the state never deployed. Jim Griffin raised it directly at the press conference: was Becky Hill a lone wolf? The complaint flags the removal of juror Myra Crosby as an incident that demands scrutiny the state's investigation never provided.Dreeke brings the behavioral lens. What does Hill's pattern of conduct — the perjury conviction, the book deal timing, the behavior the Supreme Court documented — reveal about whether she was operating independently or with awareness from others? Motta addresses the legal mechanics: what discovery actually looks like in a Section 1983 action, what Hill can be compelled to answer, and how the defense can use anything uncovered in the civil case to build leverage heading into the criminal retrial.The defense argues the state never treated Hill's conduct as the constitutional violation the Supreme Court ultimately found it to be. This federal suit goes where the state wouldn't.On the retrial itself, the defense strategy is taking shape. The financial evidence firewall created by the Supreme Court's ruling changes the entire landscape. No DNA, no blood, both weapons missing, no eyewitnesses, a compromised crime scene — those forensic gaps were buried under financial testimony the first time. Now they're the case. The biggest unknown: does Murdaugh take the stand again, and does the kennel video recording leave him any choice?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Why were zero charges filed after Operation Tidal Wave? Why does the New York Times find only 13 prosecutions in a decade? Why do settlements come with NDAs? This is the architecture of the justice gap: foreign-flag registration placing ships under jurisdictions that do not investigate. Private security teams with inherent conflicts of interest conducting the first investigation. A federal law requiring reporting but not prosecution. An enforcement default that deports crew without charges — creating no record, no registry, and no deterrent. KPBS confirmed no charges in two federal districts for the San Diego operation. All 27 deported. Crew return home with clean records. Maritime attorneys confirm they can board another ship. Civil lawsuits are met with NDA-laden settlements. The system moves in one direction: away from public accountability.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming consumer financial services and countless other industries. As AI systems become more autonomous, adaptive, and deeply integrated into commercial decision-making, courts, regulators, and industry participants are increasingly confronting a critical question: when AI causes harm, who should be held responsible? In our latest episode of our award-winning, weekly Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, our host Alan Kaplinsky (the founder, Chair for 25 years, and now Senior Counsel of our Consumer Financial Services at Ballard Spahr LLP) had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Geistfeld, the Sheila Lubetsky Birnbaum Professor of Civil Litigation at New York University School of Law and the reporter for the American Law Institute's groundbreaking new project, Principles of the Law, Civil Liability for Artificial Intelligence. The discussion explored one of the most consequential emerging legal issues in the AI era: how traditional tort law doctrines, including duty, reasonable care, causation, foreseeability, product liability, and allocation of responsibility, should apply to AI systems. Professor Geistfeld explained why the ALI chose to pursue a "principles" project rather than a traditional restatement. Because there is still relatively little AI-specific case law, the project is intended to provide a forward-looking framework that adapts existing tort doctrines to emerging AI technologies. As Mark noted during the discussion, the project seeks to determine "what existing law, properly adapted to this new technology, would require." Their conversation covered a wide range of timely and challenging issues, including: Whether AI systems should be treated as "products" or "services" for purposes of tort liability; How liability may be allocated among foundation model developers, deployers, integrators, and end users; The role of reasonable care obligations in AI development and deployment, including testing, monitoring, and guardrails; The growing importance of transparency and industry best practices; The "black box" problem and the difficulty of proving causation when even developers may not fully understand AI outputs; The tension between fostering innovation and ensuring accountability; and How tort liability and regulatory frameworks can operate together in a complementary manner. How rapidly advancing AI capabilities, including developments involving autonomous agents and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, are accelerating the urgency of creating coherent legal frameworks. One particularly interesting aspect of the discussion involved Professor Geistfeld's explanation of how AI liability differs from traditional product liability analysis because AI systems evolve, adapt, and operate probabilistically. He emphasized that many of the challenges courts will face resemble issues already encountered in pharmaceutical litigation, toxic torts, and medical malpractice cases involving probabilistic causation. The ALI project remains in development, but preliminary drafts are already beginning to shape legal and academic discussions. Given the pace of AI advancement, courts and policymakers are likely to confront these issues long before a final completed volume is published. This podcast continues our ongoing intensive coverage of artificial intelligence and consumer financial services, including our recent programs discussing the White House AI Action Plan (listen to part 1 here and part 2 here), the White House AI Framework (listen here) and other AI regulatory developments. The episode provides valuable insights for financial institutions, fintech companies, AI developers, compliance professionals, litigators, and anyone interested in the future legal framework governing artificial intelligence.

Introduction to the Solution UC Davis researchers are examining a novel approach to combating climate change: turning our buildings into carbon sinks. The solution is based on incorporating biochar, a carbon-rich material obtained from plant material, into common construction materials like concrete, brick, and asphalt. By embedding carbon directly into long-lasting infrastructure, this approach reduces atmospheric CO₂ and also transforms one of the most carbon-intensive industries in the world into a tool for climate mitigation. Background: How Carbon Storage in Building Materials Works Biochar is created through pyrolysis, a process involving heating organic material, such as crop residues or wood waste, in a low-oxygen environment. This process locks in carbon that plants absorb during photosynthesis and prevents it from being re-released into the atmosphere through decay or burning. The research team at UC Davis, headed by Professor Sabbie Miller and Dr. Elisabeth Van Roijen, proposes the use of biochar as a partial replacement for the materials in concrete and other construction compounds. Since more than 20 billion tons of concrete are produced every year by the construction sector, substituting 10% of that with biochar-based mixtures could store up to 1 gigaton of CO₂ annually, or the equivalent yearly emissions from Japan. Unlike temporary carbon storage methods, like soil burial, embedding biochar in durable infrastructure ensures long-term sequestration, potentially spanning decades or even centuries. It also leverages the global scale of construction as a medium for climate action. Advantages of This Solution Apart from net carbon emissions reduction, the introduction of biochar-enriched building materials has tangible engineering benefits. It has been found that the addition of biochar can enhance thermal insulation, fire resistance, and durability in some uses. The process also fits well within the circular economy principles because of the organic waste used and reduced need for virgin materials. Because construction is already a high-volume, resource-intensive industry, integrating biochar into existing supply chains could make climate-positive practices scalable and economically viable without requiring dramatic infrastructure overhauls. Equally important, this solution provides dual benefits: supporting both carbon sequestration and the development of sustainable materials. Drawbacks and Critiques The approach faces several scientific and logistical obstacles despite such a promising premise. Producing biochar requires energy in quite significant quantities, with sourcing biomass at large scales risking unforeseen ecological impacts such as nutrient depletion or habitat disruption. Some critics even ask whether its broad adoption might inadvertently encourage the removal of older buildings in favor of the construction of newer, carbon-storing ones, offsetting any climate gains. Another factor is the life cycle of the biochar-infused materials themselves. While they can store carbon for decades, it remains undetermined how these materials at the end of a building's life are to be managed to avoid re-release of CO₂. Future policy frameworks and recycling technologies will be required to address these challenges if there is to be long-term effectiveness. About the Guest Dr. Sabbie Miller is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis. Her research focuses on sustainable infrastructure materials, life-cycle assessment, and reducing the environmental footprint of the construction industry.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quinta-feira (21): A Polícia Federal rejeitou a proposta de delação premiada apresentada pelo banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro. A decisão já foi comunicada à defesa do empresário e ao ministro André Mendonça. Segundo investigadores, o material entregue acrescentaria poucas informações novas às apurações. A avaliação interna é de que Vorcaro tentava proteger pessoas próximas. A empresária Roberta Luchsinger, amiga de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, prestou depoimento à Polícia Federal na Operação Sem Desconto. A investigação apura fraudes bilionárias no pagamento de aposentadorias do INSS e suspeitas de lavagem de dinheiro envolvendo o lobista Antônio Camilo Antunes. A PF investiga se repasses mensais ocultavam participação de Lulinha em negócios do grupo. As defesas negam envolvimento nas irregularidades. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sancionou três projetos de lei que endurecem a proteção às mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica. Entre as medidas estão a criação do Cadastro Nacional de Agressores e o fortalecimento de mecanismos de afastamento do agressor. O anúncio ocorreu durante evento no Palácio do Planalto pelos 100 dias do Pacto Brasil contra o Feminicídio. O governo afirma que as ações ampliam o combate à violência contra a mulher. Uma operação do Ministério Público de São Paulo e da Polícia Civil de São Paulo prendeu a influenciadora Deolane Bezerra. A investigação apura lavagem de dinheiro ligada ao Primeiro Comando da Capital. A Operação Vérnix também mira familiares de Marcos Willians Herbas Camacho e supostos operadores financeiros da facção. Mandados de prisão e busca foram cumpridos em diversos endereços. O relator da PEC da escala 6x1, Leo Prates, afirmou que a proposta busca incentivar a migração de trabalhadores para o regime CLT. Segundo ele, a ideia é flexibilizar limites de jornada para profissionais registrados com salários acima de R$ 16 mil mensais. O parlamentar argumenta que muitos desses trabalhadores já atuam como pessoa jurídica. A proposta pretende tornar a contratação formal mais atrativa para empresas e empregados. Investigações apontam que Deolane Bezerra atuava como “conta de passagem” em um esquema de lavagem de dinheiro ligado ao crime organizado. Segundo as autoridades, contas pessoais e empresas ligadas à influenciadora movimentaram recursos de apostas ilegais e rifas. O inquérito aponta depósitos fracionados superiores a R$ 1 milhão para driblar controles financeiros. Investigadores também identificaram ligações com operadores associados ao PCC. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou que as negociações com o Irã estão nos “estágios finais”. Trump declarou esperar uma solução diplomática, mas voltou a ameaçar Teerã com medidas mais duras caso não haja acordo. A fala ocorreu durante declaração na Base Aérea Andrews. As tensões seguem elevadas no Oriente Médio. O vereador Carlos Bolsonaro reagiu às declarações de Romeu Zema sobre a crise envolvendo Flávio Bolsonaro e Daniel Vorcaro. Em publicação nas redes sociais, Carlos sugeriu que Zema tenta se beneficiar politicamente do desgaste do senador. O episódio aumentou a tensão entre aliados da direita. A disputa por espaço na corrida presidencial de 2026 segue nos bastidores. Pesquisa da Paraná Pesquisas mostra Tarcísio de Freitas liderando um cenário de segundo turno para o governo paulista contra Fernando Haddad. Segundo o levantamento, Tarcísio aparece com 52,7% das intenções de voto, contra 37,6% de Haddad. O estudo também aponta votos brancos, nulos e indecisos. O cenário reforça a competitividade da disputa em São Paulo. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jim Griffin stood at the podium and asked the question that has been hanging over this case since the Supreme Court ruling: did Becky Hill act alone?The defense is not leaving it to speculation. They filed a federal civil rights lawsuit — a Section 1983 claim — against the former Colleton County Clerk, alleging she stripped Alex Murdaugh of his right to a fair trial. The court already agreed the trial was compromised. What the lawsuit wants to determine is how it was compromised, by whom, and whether Hill had help.Civil discovery gives the defense something the criminal process never did: the ability to subpoena witnesses, compel depositions, and demand documents that might reveal the full picture. The complaint spotlights the removal of Myra Crosby from the jury — the egg lady juror whose departure during deliberations remains one of the most troubling unanswered questions from the original trial.The financial piece is straightforward. The defense seeks over six hundred thousand dollars representing first-trial costs. They went out of their way to state publicly that Murdaugh will not personally receive any of it. The money goes to the receivership.But the money is not the point. The investigation is. The defense argues the state had every opportunity to look into Hill's conduct and chose not to. No thorough examination. No deep dive into who knew what. This suit is designed to force the investigation that should have happened already.Tony Brueski is joined by criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke to break down the claim, the strategy, and what the defense believes it will find.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lauren Spierer, a 20-year-old sophomore studying textiles merchandising at Indiana University, disappeared in the early morning hours of June 3, 2011, in Bloomington, Indiana. The night before, she had been out drinking heavily with friends using a fake ID; after leaving Kilroy's Sports Bar barefoot and without her phone or shoes around 2:27 a.m., she walked with Corey Rossman back to the Smallwood Plaza area, got into a brief altercation outside, then spent time in Rossman's apartment (where his roommate Michael Beth tried to keep her safe) before moving to neighbor Jay Rosenbaum's townhome. She was last confirmed seen by Rosenbaum around 4:30 a.m., walking alone and intoxicated along College Avenue toward her own apartment. Lauren had a rare heart condition called long QT syndrome that made her especially vulnerable to fatal arrhythmias when combined with alcohol or drugs (trace cocaine was later found in her room, and Rosenbaum reported she had also used cocaine and crushed Klonopin that night). Despite massive searches, landfill excavations, cadaver-dog alerts, and thousands of tips, no trace of her has ever been found; her boyfriend Jesse Wolff and the three friends were named persons of interest but cooperated fully, passed private and FBI polygraphs, and were never named suspects. Civil negligence suits filed by her family against the friends were dismissed in federal court. As of May 2026 the case remains active and unsolved with the Bloomington and IU police departments. Branch of Hope: Caroline's Rainbow Foundation is a UK-registered charity founded in 2002 by the family of Caroline Ann Stuttle, a young British traveler who tragically lost her life while on a gap year in Australia. For more than twenty years, the organization has focused on promoting safer independent travel for young people and backpackers. It offers free educational resources, safety workshops, school presentations, and practical guides that help gap-year students and first-time adventurers prepare responsibly and stay safe on the road. While the foundation now serves primarily as a lasting information archive, its materials remain freely available and continue to support thousands of young travelers each year.

On Friday, Mandy took the stand in York for a civil contempt hearing that, by any measure, never should have happened — while the co-defendants actually trying to depose Gregg Roman (the nucleus of the Parker conspiracy case) had to beg the judge to even hear their motion. The contrast is staggering. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack what really went down in that courtroom: Meredith Bannon's surgical lawyering, Becky Lindahl's compelling missing-affidavit argument, the 6 year harassment campaign, a felon's escalating behavior and the sea of supporters in pink who made the day bearable. Then they turn to Wednesday's 5-0 Murdaugh murder conviction reversal — Becky Hill as the designated punching bag, Dick and Jim on the Today Show, and the privilege only a Murdaugh gets to enjoy. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Show your support of Eric Bland to the ODC

Ebony Joseph concludes her three-part series on the global rise of anti-LGBTQ laws with a report from activists in Nigeria and Kenya confronting criminalization, censorship, and severe funding cuts. Organizers describe how anti-LGBTQ legislation affects housing, employment, healthcare, and online safety, while warning that many so-called “family protection” bills across Africa are linked to broader international networks of authoritarian politics and religious conservatism. Despite mounting political hostility, grassroots groups continue building coalitions, supporting vulnerable LGBTQ people, and fighting for dignity, equality, and belonging. In this week's Newswrap, a record-breaking boycott rocks the Eurovision Song Contest as protests over Israel's participation intensify amid the war in Gaza, while a new GLAAD report warns that major social media platforms are becoming increasingly unsafe for LGBTQ users.

The Summer of Our Discontent confronts the breakdown of civility in American society. Civil discourse has given way to identitarianism, altering our media, education, policing, and the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives. In his book, Thomas Chatterton Williams chronicles the transformation of social justice activism following the summer of 2020. He explores how a culture of racial identitarianism undermines individual agency and empowerment.Join Williams for a discussion with Cato research fellow Erec Smith about the existential crisis facing American liberalism, and how we might move beyond the current impasse toward a more integrated and resilient public square.

After the past couple of episodes referring to the book, "Return to Civility," A Speed of Laughter Project, Tim actually finds his book and Amy and him take turns discussing some of the content. Does Amy share some of her entries into her list of "Unhinged Things My Friends Say?" GD3 told Amy that she has a rich-person car because she has so many cupholders. The duo also reminisces over some old commercials and find that our memory is not as good as we thought. "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a ...?"

The 10 Commandments E7 — In the 4th Commandment, Yahweh tells Israel to remember the Sabbath and do no work, just as Yahweh does after creating the skies and the land. What's going on here? What did this commandment mean to ancient Israel, and what should it mean to Jesus' followers?
