638 w/ Chris Jericho & Mike Abene - Bill Conti - You Take My Heart Away: Chris Jericho joins Chris, Nick, Andy, and Mike Abene to break down "You Take My Heart Away" by Bill Conti from the soundtrack of the 1976 motion picture Rocky. 

This episode is Part Two of The Gangland History Podcast's History of the Pittsburgh Mob, focusing on Gregorio Conti, widely regarded as Pittsburgh's second Mafia boss. Conti matters because he emerges at a turning point, when loose Black Hand extortion and ethnic feuding begin giving way to something more centralized, disciplined, and dangerous. Quiet, calculating, and outwardly respectable, Conti helped shape that transition—and then became one of its earliest casualties.The story opens on September 24, 1919, in Pittsburgh's Strip District. It's a mild fall morning, coal smoke hanging low as streetcars rattle over cobblestones. Somewhere along Smallman Street, Conti sits behind the wheel of his automobile, sweating under pressure. He's in his mid-forties, round-faced, heavyset, horn-rimmed glasses slipping down his nose—the kind of man who could pass for a schoolteacher. But Conti isn't teaching today. He's trying to leave Pittsburgh for good.His wife and children are already packed for the 10:10 p.m. train to New York, with plans to sail for Italy on October 15, 1919. He should already be gone. Instead, he delays for one last, unnecessary errand: selling his automobile. The buyers arrive—men Conti knows. Hands are shaken. Pleasantries exchanged. Then they climb inside. As the car rolls down Smallman Street, the conversation fades. A revolver clicks. Four shots tear through the enclosed space. Conti collapses over the steering wheel and dies minutes later. The coroner records the cause as shock and hemorrhage from gunshot wounds to the heart, with the time of death listed as 11:20 a.m.At first, police default to the familiar explanation: the Black Hand. But the killing feels too precise and controlled. There's no extortion letter, no public threat, no warning meant to terrorize a neighborhood. This looks less like chaotic revenge and more like business.From there, the episode rewinds to trace Conti's rise. Born in Comitini, Sicily, in 1873, he grows up in a world where authority is local and protection comes from men rather than the state. He immigrates to the United States in 1907, becomes a naturalized citizen in 1910, and settles in Pittsburgh with relatives and trusted associates. He builds a wine and liquor operation that appears legitimate but quietly functions as a hub for influence, credit, and enforcement, eventually anchoring at 801 Wylie Avenue as the Pittsburgh Wine and Liquor Company.The episode explores Conti's inner circle, including his nephew Giuseppe “Peppino” Cusumano, a trained chemist and pharmacist, and Nicola “Nick” Gentile, a relative and underworld diplomat physically present in Pittsburgh between 1910 and 1920. Family tension, shifting alliances, and questions of respect begin to fracture Conti's control from within.All of this unfolds under the shadow of Prohibition. The Eighteenth Amendment is ratified in January 1919, Pennsylvania follows weeks later, and the Volstead Act is passed that fall. For a man positioned at the center of alcohol distribution, it should have been an opportunity. Instead, Conti liquidates assets, winds down his business, and prepares to leave the country.After the murder, detectives pursue competing theories, including an alleged $5,500 whiskey swindle and a feud rooted in a clerical error on a $4,000 federal bond involving produce merchants J.C. and Philip Catalano. Arrests come quickly, explanations pile up, but certainty never does.On November 12, 1919, a coroner's jury exonerates the men held in connection with the killing. No shooter is officially identified. Gregorio Conti's murder remains unsolved. His funeral is quiet, with burial believed to have taken place at Cavalry Cemetery.Conti's death doesn't slow Pittsburgh's underworld—it clears the way. Into that vacuum steps Stefano “Big Steve” Monastero, ushering in the city's most violent and profitable Mafia era.But that… is a story for another day.

Our podcast show this week consists of a webinar we produced on November 10, 2025, titled, "Breaking Developments in National Bank Act Preemption." Join our panel of top legal experts as they break down how landmark court rulings are changing the rules for national banks, examine the growing application of state law, and discuss what these changes mean for compliance, risk, and the future of consumer financial services. Meet the Panelists: ·                 Alan Kaplinsky (Host & Moderator): Senior Counsel and former Practice Group Leader and Founder of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr ·                 Professor Arthur Wilmarth: Professor Emeritus at George Washington University Law School, widely recognized for his scholarship on National Bank Act preemption. ·                 John Culhane, Jr.: Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr specializing in national bank compliance and regulatory strategy. ·                 Ronald Vaske: Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr advising financial institutions on regulatory and compliance matters. ·                 Joseph Schuster: Partner of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr guiding national banks on state law adaptation and implementation. Key Points Covered: ·                 Landmark Court Decisions: Recent cases like Cantero in the Supreme Court and Conti in the First Circuit Court of Appeals have moved National Bank Act preemption away from blanket coverage, requiring courts to carefully assess each state law's impact on national banks. ·                 Dodd-Frank's Transformative Impact: The Dodd-Frank Act codified the legal standard established by the Supreme Court in the Barnett Bank Case that state laws are only preempted if they "prevent or significantly interfere" with national bank authority, and curtailed the OCC's sweeping preemption powers. ·                 Erosion of Uniform Federal Standards: National banks now face the reality of complying with an increasing patchwork of state laws, which challenges the traditional advantage of a federal charter. ·                 Compliance Strategies in Practice: Banks are proactively reviewing and updating their products, disclosures, and processes to ensure compliance with varying state requirements using robust legislative tracking methods. ·                 What's Next - Regulatory and Litigation Outlook: The panel anticipates ongoing legal and regulatory developments and urges institutions to prepare for further changes by starting comprehensive compliance reviews now. This episode delivers vital updates and practical guidance on the evolving landscape of national bank preemption, making it essential listening for anyone involved in consumer financial services, banking compliance, or regulatory strategy.  Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group.

La Commissione europea ha pubblicato un documento di orientamento rivolto alle aziende cinesi interessate a presentare impegni sui prezzi per l'export di auto elettriche verso l'Ue, attualmente soggette a dazi antidumping fino al 35,3%. Pechino ha accolto il testo come un passo avanti frutto di lunghi negoziati, parlando di uno "spirito di dialogo" e di un possibile accordo sui prezzi. Da Bruxelles, però, la lettura è più cauta: la Commissione chiarisce che non si tratta di un accordo e che il documento ha solo valore orientativo, senza modificare automaticamente il regime tariffario. Resta quindi aperta la questione centrale della possibile revisione dei dazi, imposti per contrastare sussidi statali ritenuti distorsivi. Le linee guida definiscono criteri stringenti per eventuali impegni sui prezzi, come il prezzo minimo all'importazione, le regole sui canali di vendita e sugli investimenti futuri nell'Ue, in coerenza con le norme Wto. Ogni proposta sarà valutata caso per caso da Bruxelles, in consultazione con gli Stati membri. Interviene Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.comIndagine penale federale su Jerome Powell per la ristrutturazione della sede FedNel fine settimana è emersa la notizia di un'indagine penale federale sul presidente della Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, legata alla ristrutturazione da 2,5 miliardi di dollari della sede della banca centrale a Washington e alla sua testimonianza al Congresso. Powell sostiene che l'iniziativa giudiziaria sia una conseguenza diretta delle pressioni politiche esercitate da Donald Trump, irritato dal rifiuto della Fed di tagliare i tassi con la rapidità richiesta dalla Casa Bianca. Il presidente della Fed ha ribadito che l'istituzione prende decisioni sulla base di dati ed evidenze economiche, non di indicazioni politiche, ricordando anche gli attacchi personali ricevuti da Trump, che lo ha soprannominato "Mr. Too late". Sullo sfondo, i mercati scommettono su due ulteriori tagli dei tassi nel 2026, ma sottovalutano il rischio di un cambiamento strutturale della Fed: il consiglio e il Fomc potrebbero diventare più allineati alle posizioni presidenziali. A breve sono attese due decisioni chiave: l'indicazione del nuovo presidente della Fed da parte di Trump e il verdetto della Corte Suprema sul possibile licenziamento di Lisa Cook. Il commento è di Morya Longo, Il Sole 24 OrePnrr, la Corte Conti "preoccupata" per il rispetto dei tempi sui progettiLa Corte dei Conti segnala alcune preoccupazioni sui tempi di realizzazione dei progetti Pnrr da parte degli enti territoriali, pur riconoscendo situazioni differenziate e un parziale recupero dei ritardi iniziali. Dai dati emerge che circa metà dei progetti presenta lievi slittamenti, ma con segnali di accelerazione in vista delle scadenze. Resta però aperto il nodo macroeconomico: perché il Pil italiano cresce poco nonostante i 194 miliardi del Pnrr. L'analisi di Openpolis evidenzia che oltre il 60% dei progetti risulta concluso o in via di conclusione, ma assorbe solo una quota limitata delle risorse totali. La gran parte dei fondi è concentrata in interventi ancora in corso o appena avviati, per un valore di circa 95 miliardi. Inoltre, i progetti già completati riguardano soprattutto acquisti di beni, servizi o contributi a privati, mentre meno del 5% interessa opere pubbliche strutturali, quelle con maggiore impatto sul Pil. Ne deriva che i progetti più complessi e visibili sono ancora in ritardo, frenando l'effetto espansivo sull'economia. Analizziamo la questione con Luca Dal Poggetto, Analista di Openpolis esperto di Pnrr.

What really happens when the world's most expensive wines are tasted blind, without their labels or reputations? Why is the Len Evans Tutorial considered such a valuable experience in the wine world? How did Grenache go from a filler grape to one that producers take seriously? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Dr Wes Pearson, a senior research scientist at the Australian Wine Research Institute in Adelaide. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights How did a curiosity for astrophysics shape Wes's mindset as a wine researcher and sensory scientist? Why does Wes believe that the more you learn about wine, the more you realize how little you know? Why does Wes see scientific research and hands-on winemaking as complementary approaches? What role did the Len Evans Tutorial play in shaping his palate and wine judging standards? What is it like to taste hundreds of benchmark wines blind, including Domaine de la Romanée Conti? How did Wes's internship at Château Léoville Las Cases reveal the depth of precision and investment behind elite Bordeaux wines? What drew Wes to McLaren Vale and how did the region reshape his priorities as a winemaker? Why was Grenache long treated as a filler grape in McLaren Vale? How does sensory science work to eliminate bias? Why are trained professionals often excluded from traditional sensory panels? What kinds of unconscious bias can labels, color, and context introduce when tasting wine? How does pivot profiling allow winemakers and sommeliers to use their technical language productively? What's behind the rapid improvement in no and low alcohol wines?   Key Takeaways The current vintage of the Romanée-Conti Grand Cru, or that vineyard, is about $15,000 on release. They're not wines that are generally bought and drunk. They're bought as investments. And they're kind of these holy grail wines that you would never get a chance to see otherwise. And not only is it great to taste them, but you taste them blind. The Len Evans Tutorial is a one-week immersive tasting session with the world's greatest wines. Not just Australian wines. You have a bracket of Pinot Noir, and within that, you've got DRC and you've also got all of the great Australian examples as well. It's meant to set your benchmarks for what is the world standard and what is the Australian standard. Historically, Grenache was the filler in blends. Grenache loves the heat so you can leave it out in the vineyard. The Shiraz has to come in first. "We'll get the Grenache later when we have some space in the winery." It was used to fill up the blends. It had lots of flavor. It always had lots of alcohol as well. Then around 2010, a few producers started saying, we've got some pretty good resource here. Maybe we should think about investing a bit more time and effort into what we've got with Grenache.   About Dr. Wes Pearson Dr Wes Pearson is a senior research scientist and sensory group manager at the Australian Wine Research Institute in Adelaide. He holds a BSc in Wine Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia, a diploma in Applied Sensory and Consumer Science from the University of California Davis and a PhD from Charles Sturt University. He has worked in the sensory group at the AWRI since 2010 and has completed hundreds of sensory studies and authored over 25 research papers in that time. He is an alumnus of the Len Evans Tutorial and of Wine Australia's Future Leaders program and sits on the board of directors for the McLaren Vale Grape Wine and Tourism Association. He has judged at multiple capital city and regional wine shows and has been an educator/judge for the AWRI's Advanced Wine Assessment Course for more than a decade. He is also an accomplished winemaker, having made wine in Canada and France, and currently makes wine under his Juxtaposed label in McLaren Vale, South Australia.           To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/369.

John Wayne Gacy raped, tortured, and murdered 33 boys and young men, burying most of them in the crawlspace under his Chicago home. Karen Conti was in high school at the time watching the bodies being removed on the television news.Fourteen years pass. Through a twist of fate, Conti, now a young and inexperienced attorney, is called upon to handle Gacy's final death row appeals. The serial killer soon becomes her most famous, difficult, and haunting client.Thirty years after Gacy's execution, Conti looks back through the eyes of a seasoned professional on the legal and media circus that ensued—and her countless hours of detailed conversation with the killer clown. We hear for the first time about Gacy's gruesome “Body Book.” Were there more victims? Conspirators involved in the murders? What secrets were buried with him?If one were to ask Conti, “How could you represent such a monster?” she would respond, “What you really want to know is, ‘What was he like?'” This book answers that question. KILLING TIME WITH JOHN WAYNE GACY: Defending America's Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row-Karen Conti

Guy Savoy, né le 24 juillet 1953 à Nevers, est un célèbre chef cuisinier français. Depuis 2002, le restaurant Guy Savoy, situé 11 quai de Conti dans le VIè arrondissement de Paris, possède trois étoiles au Guide Michelin. Avec Anne Martinetti et Gilles Chesneau, il est l'auteur d'une série intitulée «Guy Savoy cuisine les écrivains», aux éditions Herscher où vient de paraitre le 4ème tome consacré aux auteurs du XIXè siècle.  Le XIXè siècle fut celui de tous les appétits : littéraires et culinaires. Tandis que les grands écrivains révolutionnaient les lettres françaises, les cuisiniers transformaient l'art de la table. Dans ce quatrième volume de sa collection, Guy Savoy nous invite à un festin où se mêlent les saveurs d'une époque et les mots de ses plus illustres témoins. Des banquets parisiens décrits par Balzac aux repas bourgeois croqués par Maupassant, des dîners romantiques de George Sand aux festins populaires de Zola, le chef étoilé puise dans ce siècle gourmand une inspiration sans limites. Car les écrivains du XIXè siècle étaient aussi de fins gastronomes : Hugo collectionnait les recettes et Dumas père rédigeait son Grand Dictionnaire de cuisine... Avec la complicité d'Anne Martinetti et de Gilles Chesneau, Guy Savoy ressuscite ces saveurs oubliées et transforme les pages les plus savoureuses de notre patrimoine littéraire en recettes d'aujourd'hui. Une promenade unique où chaque plat raconte une histoire, où chaque bouchée fait revivre un auteur. Un voyage gourmand et littéraire qui régalera aussi bien les amoureux des belles-lettres que les passionnés de gastronomie. (Présentation des éditions Herscher)

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes’ YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! The wind industry is having quite a week. Some stories are blowing in the right direction. Others… well… you’ll see. Let’s start with the good news. In Brazil… EDF power solutions just powered up the Serra das Almas wind farm. Two hundred sixty-one megawatts. Fifty-eight Danish Vestas turbines spinning in Bahia state. Six hundred thousand homes… now running on wind. Up in the United States… Ørsted is making waves with two offshore wind projects. Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind. Cable installation is underway. Offshore substations are being commissioned. By next year… more than sixteen hundred megawatts will be flowing into Connecticut… Rhode Island… and New York. Over in Germany… Shell is turning wind into hydrogen. They’ve signed a five-year power deal with Nordsee One. Starting in two thousand twenty-seven… offshore wind will feed a one hundred megawatt electrolyzer. Clean electricity making clean fuel. To power everything from trucks to chemical plants. But now… the other stories. In the Netherlands… a technical manager at Nordex wind farms thought he’d found the perfect side hustle. He had the keys. He had the access. He had giant wind turbines spinning out free electricity twenty-four hours a day. And he had a plan. Between August and November of two thousand twenty-two… the man installed three cryptocurrency mining rigs at the Gieterveen wind farm. He plugged them straight into a Nordex router. Inside a substation. Then he drove to Waardpolder. Another wind farm. He climbed inside the turbines. And he hid two Helium network nodes. Connected them to Nordex’s internal network. Month after month… while the turbines spun… his crypto wallet grew. Nobody noticed. Why would they? He was the technical manager. He belonged there. But then… Nordex got hit with something much worse. A ransomware attack. The Conti cybercrime crew. The company was scrambling. Investigating their networks. Looking for breaches. That’s when they found his mining rigs. The courts heard the case earlier this month. The prosecutor was not amused. This wasn’t just theft. This was a man who’d been trusted with critical infrastructure. Giant turbines. Automated systems. Industrial networks. The prosecutor wanted two hundred forty hours of community service. But the judges saw something else. A first-time offender. A man suffering from depression and burnout. Someone who admitted everything. They cut the sentence in half. One hundred twenty hours. Plus four thousand one hundred fifty-five euros in damages. About forty-four hundred dollars. And if he doesn’t pay? Fifty-one days in custody. If he doesn’t complete his community service? Sixty days in jail. The court made one thing crystal clear. He’d shown no concern for the potential disruption to the turbines. No concern for the company’s trust. No concern… that he was running a side business… inside critical infrastructure. But here’s the story that’s really stopped the industry cold. In Tasmania… at the Cattle Hill wind farm… inspectors made a disturbing discovery. Asbestos. In the brake pads. Inside the turbine tower lifts. Now… Tasmania is just the beginning. The turbines were built by Goldwind… And Goldwind supplies turbines to wind farms all across Australia. New South Wales. Victoria. Queensland. WorkSafe Victoria and SafeWork NSW confirmed Friday… asbestos has been found at multiple wind farm sites. White Rock. Gullen Range. Biala. Clarke Creek. Moorabool. Stockyard Hill. The brake pads were imported into Australia. Importing asbestos has been illegal there… since two thousand three. Beijing Energy International says the risk is extremely low. Access to affected turbines is restricted. They’re working with regulators. Testing is underway. But here’s what everyone’s thinking… Last week… asbestos was found in colored sand products from China. Schools shut down. Childcare centers closed. In the Australian Capital Territory. Queensland. South Australia. Now it’s wind turbines. So the wind industry had quite a week. Clean power spinning up in Brazil. Offshore cables going down in America. Hydrogen flowing in Germany.

Karen Conti, Partner at Conti & Dolan LLC, joins Lisa Dent to discuss a judges order requiring the man charged with setting a woman on fire on the CTA blue line last week to remain in custody. Conti shares whether or not a flaw in the SAFE-T Act allowed the charged man, with 77 arrests, […]

La trimestrale di Nvidia, pubblicata ieri sera, mostra ricavi record oltre 57 miliardi di dollari e una previsione di 65 miliardi per il trimestre successivo, sopra le attese degli analisti; anche l'utile netto, quasi 32 miliardi, supera le stime. Per il mercato globale questi numeri sono determinanti, perché Nvidia vale più degli interi listini di molte capitali europee ed è considerata un indicatore macro oltre che un titolo tecnologico. I conti arrivano dopo settimane di tensione legate ai timori di una bolla sull'IA: l'immediato +5% nell'after market indica sollievo, ma resta il tema degli enormi investimenti richiesti dalla rivoluzione dell'intelligenza artificiale. Le big tech prevedono centinaia di miliardi di spesa nei prossimi anni e stanno aumentando l'indebitamento: una corsa che alimenta dubbi sulla possibilità di ritorni certi e sull'eventuale rischio di sovra-investimenti. Secondo Goldman Sachs, i benefici economici dell'IA potrebbero però arrivare a migliaia di miliardi, potenzialmente sufficienti a giustificare gli investimenti in corso. Interviene Morya Longo, Il Sole 24 Ore.Manovra alle battute finali. Intanto continua a preoccupare la crescitaIl percorso approvativo della manovra entra nella fase decisiva, con 414 emendamenti segnalati come prioritari, di cui 238 dalla maggioranza. Il vertice tra le forze di governo è il primo banco di confronto su temi dove esistono punti d'incontro ma anche nodi ancora irrisolti. Le modifiche in arrivo, però, non cambieranno l'impostazione complessiva della manovra, che non riesce a incidere sulla crescita: per i prossimi anni l'Italia rimane ancorata a livelli vicini allo zero, nonostante l'intervento del Pnrr. L'Italia registra una delle crescite più basse dell'area euro - quest'anno quarta dal fondo, l'anno prossimo seconda, nel 2027 ultima - e la fine del Piano nel 2026 impone un primo bilancio del suo impatto. I dati disponibili confermano che, pur senza generare una crescita robusta, il Pnrr ha evitato stagnazione e recessione, grazie agli effetti espansivi degli investimenti pubblici richiamati dagli studi della Banca d'Italia. Inoltre, poiché gli investimenti di qualità finanziati in deficit riducono il rapporto debito/Pil attraverso una maggiore crescita, si può dire che il Pnrr ha contenuto l'aumento del debito atteso tra il 2024 e il 2026. Ne parliamo con Gaetano Scognamiglio, Presidente Promo Pa Fondazione e Co-fondatore dell'Osservatorio Recovery Plan (OREP). Manovra, Fdi propone di trasferire allo Stato l'oro di BankitaliaFratelli d'Italia ha presentato un emendamento - firmato da Lucio Malan - che afferma che le riserve auree detenute da Bankitalia appartengono allo Stato. Si tratta di un tema che ricorre ciclicamente da almeno vent'anni, spesso legato all'idea di una possibile vendita dell'oro per alleggerire i conti pubblici: un patrimonio stimato in circa 275 miliardi di euro, quasi un decimo del debito nazionale. Tuttavia la competenza su queste riserve non è nazionale: secondo il Trattato dell'Unione europea e le prerogative della Bce, il governo non può disporre autonomamente dell'oro che rientra nel sistema delle banche centrali dell'Eurosistema. È per questo che anche i tentativi precedenti di trasferire la proprietà allo Stato si sono sempre arenati. Il commento è di Franco Bruni, presidente dell'Ispi e professore emerito del dipartimento di Economia dell'Università Bocconi.

Hawks and United Broadcaster Mike Conti talks about the Virginia Tech hire of James Franklin, how quickly he could win in the ACC, Hawks-Pistons being a really good early-season matchup, how the team has played with a few key pieces not available, and what is the next step for the Falcons at 3-7 without their starting QB.

Dopo il dietrofront sulla Net Zero Strategy si intensificano le nubi sul futuro di Sussan Ley alla guida del partito. Ma la crisi dei liberali si propaga anche ai singoli stati: "La fine dell'anno è il tipico periodo della resa dei conti, prima della pausa estiva", ha spiegato Paul Scutti.

Last week, a thousand-year-old medieval tower in Rome partially collapsed. This disaster for history and Rome's patrimony—which could have been much worse—serves as a reminder that Rome's monuments are not forever. The Torre dei Conti is far from being the only historic building to collapse—partially or completely—in recent years. And antiquity and the Middle Ages witnessed the loss of more treasures of engineering, art, and architecture than we can probably imagine.  We think of Rome as eternal (for good reason), but the truth is, Rome's cityscape is slowly but perpetually changing. Moral of the story: if there's a site in Rome you'd like to visit, do it now. (Before it's gone forever!!) P. S.
