Podcasts about cloud state university

When St. Cloud State University began building a new library, they expected to find dirt and stone. Instead, they found graves. Not one or two, but an entire buried section of the city's past, still holding human remains beneath the surface. In St. Cloud, that discovery wasn't an anomaly. It was a pattern. Because in a place built on granite and industry, the past isn't gone. It's just been built over.   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory hauntedamericanhistory.com Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334 AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S   Ebook GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1 KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316       !!

In 2026, USA Hockey accomplished something no other nation has ever done, winning Olympic gold medals for Mens, Women's and Paralympic Ice Hockey. Yet this was not something that happened overnight, and in fact was the culmination of nearly two decades of growing the game and modifying rules and game formats in order to develop more skillful players and a much larger player base to choose from. And who better to discuss this journey than one of its architects, Ken Martel.  Ken Martel was named senior director of player and coach development in November 2022. He is charged with helping provide a framework for associations nationwide to follow for optimal athlete development. From 2009-22 Martel served as the technical director of USA Hockey's American Development Model after spending two years (2006-08) at USA Hockey's national office in Colorado Springs, Colo., working on coaching education and player development initiatives. For his efforts using science to advance sport, Martel received the USOC "Doc" Councilman Award for Ice Hockey in 2004. Prior to arriving in Colorado Springs, Martel was a part of USA Hockey's National Team Development Program staff as an assistant coach for eight years (1998-2006), including a dual role with responsibilities for player personnel his final five seasons. Martel has made appearances behind the bench of nine U.S. teams that have competed in International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships, including four times with the U.S. National Under-18 Team (2000-04), four times with the U.S. National Junior Team (2004, 2006, 2008-09) and once with the U.S. Women's National Team (2007). He has been part of two gold medal-winning teams, including the first-ever U.S. gold medals in the IIHF Men's World Under-18 Championship (2002) and the IIHF World Junior Championship (2004). Among his additional coaching stops, Martel served one season (1997-98) as an assistant coach for the men's ice hockey program at the U.S. Air Force Academy and seven seasons (1990-97) as an assistant men's ice hockey coach at Michigan Tech University. He also spent one year (1990-91) as a graduate assistant for the men's ice hockey program at St. Cloud State University. A four-year (1985-89) letter-winner as a defenseman at Lake Superior State University, Martel helped the Lakers to the school's first-ever NCAA national title in 1988.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsOn this week's episode I'm joined by Bruce Tapola.Bruce Tapola was born and raised in Ohio and received his BFA from the University of Utah, and his MFA from Montana State University. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has received several awards, including the McKnight Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship (1995, 2001, 2017). His work has been written about in Artforum, The New York Times, New American Painting, Art Papers, and New Art Examiner, and is in numerous public and private collections. He taught painting and drawing at St. Cloud State University in MN from 2000 to 2022, and in addition to his studio practice, Bruce is a member of the artist collectives Paintallica, Free Art School, and Artpolice (RIP). Bruce lives and works in St. Paul, Minnesota.I sit down with Bruce back in December in Saint Paul, in his backyard studio with a wood-burning stove. It was a cold day, but the studio was cozy and Bruce, I discovered, as you will shortly, is a talker so we covered a lot of ground. Bruce discusses rejecting cleverness, when something smells like art, humor in art, sameness in imagination, screaming colors, sneaking up on a painting, magic, ceramics,  the price of art, emptying-out content, outsider art, having a family of artists and painting the perfect cloud.Before we begin, a reminder that ARTMATTERS is entirely listener-supported.

What if speech challenges, jaw pain, mouth breathing, or even poor sleep weren't just isolated issues — but nervous system signals? In this week's episode, I sit down with Denise Lowe, Speech Language Pathologist, to explore the powerful connection between oral function, nervous system regulation, and whole-body health. We unpack: • What myofunctional therapy actually is • Why tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and breathing matter more than you think • The hidden signs parents often miss in their children • How jaw tension, clenching, and grinding connect to stress physiology • What Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is — and how it helps regulate subconscious stress patterns • Why addressing both structure and nervous system function changes outcomes This conversation goes far beyond articulation. We talk about sleep quality, TMD, chronic tension, airway development, communication struggles, and the emotional patterns that can quietly drive physical symptoms. If you or your child experience mouth breathing, speech delays, clenching, jaw pain, chronic tension, or sleep disruption — this episode will open your eyes to a deeper root-cause lens. Because healing isn't just mechanical. It's neurological. It's emotional. And it's functional. Podcast Offer Denise is offering a $99 initial Neuro Emotional Technique session when you mention this podcast. Offer valid through March 28th, 2026. If you have been curious about nervous system work but didn't know where to begin — this is a beautiful entry point. March 23: 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset And if this episode sparked curiosity about the nervous system's role in metabolism, inflammation, or stress — my 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset kicks off March 23rd. Blood sugar dysregulation affects: • Mood • Hormones • Sleep • Energy • Inflammation • Cravings • Nervous system stability This guided reset walks you through simple, strategic changes to stabilize glucose, calm stress physiology, and reclaim metabolic resilience.

Send a textMinneapolis Yoga Karens throw HUGE meltdown, berating employees, caught on camera...Check out the American Experiment Podcast!Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…Grace and Kathryn break down the insane footage from inside a Minneapolis CorePower yoga studio, where a pack of wild Karens berated two employees over the company's stance on ICE. (Yes, it's as crazy as it sounds.)Then, they investigate Minnesota's new Paid Family Leave program, which Governor Walz loves to brag about but is already spending way more than was promised. (Remember, it's only been open since January 1.) Later, the girls examine a study showing more young people are earning college degrees than ever before… yet they have fewer skills and lower test scores? (If these posters from St. Cloud State University are any indication, it's no wonder why…)And finally, healthcare policy fellow Matt Dean joins the show to share some big news surrounding transgender procedures for children; he also explores why healthcare practitioners using their platform to attack ICE is so problematic.Remember to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE and never miss an episode of the American Experiment Podcast!

Minnesota State Community and Technical College — or M State, which has schools across northwest Minnesota — will expand their offerings. M State was the first two-year college in greater Minnesota to offer cannabis education. Both schools are partnering with the company Green Flower to offer the courses. Max Simon the CEO of Green Flower, and Sean Collins, director of workforce development solutions at M State, joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about the programs and the budding industry.

Drawing from clinical and executive roles, he helps leaders make the mindset shifts needed for success in complexity.Previously, Michael was CEO of a nonmerger hospital network and Chief Medical Officer at Catholic Health Initiatives.

Nikki Herd - I know the Smiley Face KillersNikki Herd joins Ed Opperman to share her research on what has now become an urban legend; the Smiley Face KillersThe smiley face murder theory (also known as the smiley face murders, smiley face killings, and smiley face gang) is a theory advanced by retired New York City detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte, as well as Dr. Lee Gilbertson, a criminal justice professor and gang expert at St. Cloud State University. It alleges that 45 young men found dead in bodies of water across several Midwestern American states from the late 1990s to the 2010s did not accidentally drown, as concluded by law enforcement agencies, but were victims of a serial killer or killers.The term "smiley face" became connected to the alleged murders when it was made public that the police had discovered graffiti depicting a smiley face near locations where they think the killer dumped the bodies in at least a dozen of the cases. Gannon wrote a textbook case study on the subject titled "Case Studies in Drowning Forensics." The response of law enforcement investigators and other experts has been largely skeptical.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
