Austin declines a max contract extension with the Lakers

Today's episode focuses on a recent article in JAMA Internal Medicine regarding maternal mental health in the United States. I'll explain and summarize the study and results, and discuss the most appropriate next steps. Since I'm presenting the information in summary form, please read the article for yourself by clicking the link in the Resources section for this episode.  Show Highlights: The findings of this study are sobering and validating. Scope and value of research findings like this to “fill the gap” in maternal mental health The details of the study subjects: 198,000+ US mothers from 2016-2023 who self-reported their physical and mental health The key findings: The percentage of mothers reporting a rating of “excellent” mental health dropped dramatically during the time frame, the percentage reporting “fair” or “poor” mental health increased, and the trend of declining maternal mental health crosses through all socio-economic groups. The key factors contributing to maternal mental health conditions  Results of the study show that we need more investment into the underlying causes of mental health decline, especially for lower socio-economic status moms. Moms are suffering under the weight of silence, stigma, shame, and societal expectations. Studies like this one are vital to break down barriers to care and support. Learning to identify your needs, choose rest when needed, and prioritize self-compassion What we can do to help: offer screenings at multiple points, effect policy change, and find positive ways to support the entire family system.

Jeannette looks at the challenge of succession in family businesses, particularly the growing trend of the next generation opting out of leadership roles. With recent data indicating that 63% of family businesses view succession as a significant risk, Jeannette explores the reasons behind this shift, including changing career aspirations, the desire for work-life balance, and the perceived lack of autonomy within family enterprises. Jeannette explains why: Younger generations are increasingly opting out of family business leadership roles due to a desire for autonomy, diverse career options Establishing clear governance structures, such as boards and family councils, is crucial for family businesses to navigate leadership transitions effectively When no family successor is available, bringing in external executives can be beneficial. It's essential to ensure that these leaders understand and respect the family's legacy while being empowered to drive innovation and growth.

Stocks wavered on Wednesday, as the market's recent run higher took a breather, as traders weigh a preliminary U.S.-China trade deal and new inflation data. We'll tell you all you need to know.

U.S. hiring continues to show modest growth, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting an addition of 139,000 jobs in May, surpassing economists' expectations. However, the unemployment rate remains steady at 4.2%, marking a prolonged period of stagnation. Revisions to previous months revealed a combined loss of 95,000 jobs, raising concerns about the overall health of the labor market. While wage growth remains consistent at 3.9%, sectors such as healthcare and leisure are thriving, whereas manufacturing and professional services are experiencing declines. This mixed landscape reflects economic uncertainty that is affecting hiring decisions, particularly among smaller firms.The adoption of Windows 11 has plateaued, with its market share slightly decreasing to 43.22% as Windows 10's share rises to 53.19%. Despite this stall, experts predict a gradual increase in Windows 11 adoption through the end of the year. However, the looming end of support for Windows 10 on October 14 poses a significant risk, as half of the world's PCs will be left without mainstream support. Service providers are encouraged to prepare for a migration wave by utilizing automated tools to assess upgrade eligibility and prioritize device refreshes.In the realm of cybersecurity, UConn is enhancing its cyber insurance marketplace by partnering with BlackPoint Cyber and Cork Protection. These collaborations aim to empower managed service providers (MSPs) with better risk management tools and insurance options. As cyber risk financing merges with prevention strategies, MSPs are positioned as key players in this evolving landscape. The need for providers to understand insurance language and align their security offerings with underwriting requirements is becoming increasingly critical.CrowdStrike has issued a soft revenue forecast for the second quarter, leading to a decline in its stock price. The company anticipates revenue between $1.14 billion and $1.15 billion, falling short of analyst expectations. This downturn is attributed to reduced government and enterprise spending on cybersecurity products amid economic pressures. For managed service providers, this situation serves as a reminder to diversify their vendor portfolios to mitigate operational risks associated with vendor concentration. The episode underscores the importance of balancing security efficacy with vendor resilience in a challenging market. Four things to know today 00:00 Growth Slows, Gaps Widen: Jobs Up 139 K, Unemployment Steady, AI-Exposed Roles Shrink and Talent Budgets Surge06:27 Windows 11 Plateau Meets Windows 10 Sunset: Half of Business PCs Face October 2025 Deadline—MSPs Positioned to Monetize the Refresh Wave08:49 From Detection to Dollars: UKON's Insurance Engine, Blackpoint's 24×7 Defense, Cork's Risk Insights and Guardz's $56 M Raise Signal Security-Finance Convergence11:53 CrowdStrike's Lower-Than-Expected Q2 Outlook and $29 M Outage Bill Spotlight the Hidden Cost of Vendor Concentration for MSPs Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

This Day in Legal History: National Defense ActOn June 3, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act into law, marking a major shift in American military and legal policy. Passed amid growing tensions related to World War I, the Act dramatically expanded the U.S. Army and strengthened the National Guard, officially integrating it as the Army's primary reserve force. It increased the size of the Regular Army to over 175,000 soldiers and provided for a National Guard force of over 400,000 when fully mobilized. The law also created the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), formalizing military education at civilian colleges and universities across the country.Crucially, the Act clarified federal authority over the National Guard, requiring units to conform to federal training standards and granting the president the power to mobilize them for national emergencies. This federalization of a traditionally state-controlled force marked a significant legal development in the balance between state and federal military power. It addressed long-standing constitutional ambiguities surrounding the militia clauses and reflected evolving views of national defense in a modern industrial society.The Act emerged from broader preparedness debates within the U.S. political and legal spheres, balancing isolationist tendencies with the perceived need for greater military readiness. Though the U.S. would not enter World War I until 1917, the National Defense Act of 1916 laid essential legal groundwork for rapid mobilization. It remains a foundational statute for the structure of the modern U.S. military.The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two significant Second Amendment challenges involving bans on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines in Maryland and Rhode Island. By refusing the appeals, the Court left in place lower court rulings upholding the restrictions. Maryland's law, enacted after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, bans certain semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15, while Rhode Island's 2022 law prohibits magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Plaintiffs in both cases argued that these weapons and accessories are commonly owned by law-abiding citizens and thus protected by the Constitution.The Court's conservative bloc showed signs of division. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissented, indicating they would have reviewed the bans. Justice Kavanaugh did not dissent but issued a statement expressing openness to hearing similar cases in the future, suggesting that the Court would eventually need to rule on whether AR-15s are constitutionally protected.Lower courts rejected the challenges based on the weapons' military-style design and their use in mass killings, reasoning that they are not suitable for self-defense and thus fall outside Second Amendment protection. The challengers contended that these laws ignore the Court's prior rulings on weapons in “common use.” Despite recent decisions expanding gun rights, the justices allowed these bans to stand for now.US Supreme Court won't review assault weapon, high-capacity magazine bans | ReutersThree federal lawsuits filed on June 2, 2025, allege that major class action settlement administrators and two banks engaged in a kickback scheme that siphoned funds away from class members. The suits, brought in New York, Florida, and California, accuse Epiq Solutions, Angeion Group, and JND Legal Administration of securing illicit payments from Huntington National Bank and Western Alliance Bank in exchange for directing large volumes of settlement deposits to them. In return, the administrators allegedly received a share of the banks' profits.Plaintiffs claim the scheme dates back years and coincided with rising interest rates in 2021, which increased the potential value of settlement fund deposits. According to the lawsuits, administrators threatened to stop using the banks unless they shared profits. As a result, class members allegedly received lower payouts due to below-market interest rates on their settlement funds.Together, the defendant banks are said to control over 80% of the U.S. settlement fund market, while the administrators manage over 65% of class action services. The plaintiffs argue this arrangement violated U.S. antitrust law by reducing competition and fixing prices. JND and Western Alliance have denied wrongdoing, calling the claims baseless or inaccurate. Huntington declined to comment, and other parties have yet to respond.Class action administrators, banks accused of kickback scheme in new lawsuits | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week looks at Spain's proposed 100% tax on non-EU homebuyers, introduced as a bold fix for the country's deepening housing crisis. The government is responding to surging public frustration over exploding rents—up more than 60% in Barcelona in five years—and the sense that local housing is being turned into an asset class for absentee owners. But while the policy grabs attention, I argue it misses the real target. The problem isn't who owns the homes—it's how those homes are being used. A blanket nationality-based tax is a blunt instrument that's economically ineffective, legally risky under EU and international law, and symbolically inflammatory.Instead, I suggest a more focused approach: taxing speculative flipping and underutilization directly. A resale tax on homes sold within a short holding period, calibrated by how quickly they're flipped, would discourage fast-moving speculation without penalizing genuine residents or workers. Similarly, a progressive vacancy tax—getting steeper the longer a property remains empty—would address the roughly four million vacant or underused homes across Spain. These tools would pressure banks and investors to put housing back into circulation while raising revenue for public housing initiatives.Critically, these proposals are neutral as to the owner's nationality. Whether a home is owned by a Spanish bank, a Canadian retiree, or a U.S. fund manager, what matters is whether it's being used as shelter or as a sidelined asset. The column makes the case that Spain's housing crisis won't be solved by turning foreign investors into political scapegoats, but by confronting speculative behaviors that choke supply and inflate prices—regardless of the flag the buyer flies.

It's Thursday, May 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christianity growing in Asia despite persecution International Christian Concern reports that Christianity is growing in Asia despite severe persecution. In 2024, there were 415 million Christians in Asia, making up 8% of the continent's population. That's up from 3% in 2010. Since 2020, Christianity's growth rate in Asia has been 1.6% per year. The church is growing in Communist, Buddhist, and Islam-dominated countries like China, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Myanmar. All this growth continues despite persecution in the from of harassment, anti-conversion laws, restrictions on Bibles, arrests, imprisonments, and even violence and murder.  In 2 Corinthians 4:8-10, the Apostle Paul wrote, “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed .  … persecuted, but not forsaken … always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” 50% of kids in United Kingdom do not live with both biological parents Research from the Marriage Foundation found that nearly half of children in the United Kingdom do not live with both of their biological parents. The report showed a record 45% of teenagers are not living with both parents by the age of 14.  This trend is not driven by divorce which is at its lowest level since 1970. Instead, family breakdown is driven by a collapse in marriage rates. Harry Benson, the Research Director for the Marriage Foundation, said, “The level of family breakdown in the UK is at epidemic proportions and is set to get worse.” French House voted to legalize assisted suicide France's National Assembly voted in favor of a bill to legalize assisted suicide on Tuesday.  The measure allows adult patients with painful and incurable illness to take a lethal substance. The bill must also pass in France's Senate. Matt Vallière, the Executive Director of the Patients' Rights Action Fund, warned, “The French National Assembly cast a fateful and terrible vote that will put a great many at risk of deadly harm and discrimination under an unprecedented euthanasia regime.” Proverbs 12:10 says, “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Supremes declines case of Christian kid's t-shirt affirming 2 genders In the United States, the Supreme Court declined to hear a free speech case Tuesday. The case involves a Massachusetts public school student named Liam Morrison. In 2023, he wore a T-shirt to class that said, “There are only 2 genders.” In response, the school banned him from wearing the shirt. The Morrison family challenged the decision; however, the courts ruled against them. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito authored a dissenting opinion to the court's decision to not hear the case. He said the free speech case “presents an issue of great importance for our Nation's youth.” Listen to viral comments from Liam, the boy at the epicenter. He made them before his school board. MORRISON: “What did my shirt say? Five simple words. ‘There are only two genders.' Nothing harmful, nothing threatening. Just a statement I believe to be a fact. “I have been told that my shirt was targeting a protected class. Who is this protected class? Are their feelings more important than my rights? … “Not one person, staff or student, told me that they were bothered by what I was wearing. Actually, just the opposite. Several kids told me that they supported my actions and that they wanted one too.” Defense Secretary Hegseth affirms homeschooling for military families Earlier this month, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth  ordered the department to review how well it supports homeschooling for military families.  The directive follows an executive order from President Donald Trump on supporting school choice in the military.  Hegseth wrote, “Homeschooling offers an individualized approach for students and highlights the significant role parents play in the educational process.” Liberal Presbyterian Church (USA) keeps losing members The Presbyterian Church (USA) lost nearly 50,000 members last year according to its latest report.  The liberal denomination has been losing a similar number of members each year since the COVID-19 pandemic. Their unbiblical stands have cemented their own demise. In 2014, it voted to allow pastors to marry two homosexual men or two lesbians.  Plus, PC(USA) contends that there should be no laws restricting abortion. At its current rate of decline, the PC(USA) will likely fall below one million members this year. Protestors harass Christians promoting Biblically-defined family, sexuality And finally, MayDay USA held a prayer event in Seattle, Washington last Saturday. The group gathers Christians to seek God, proclaim the Gospel, and promote the “sacredness of gender and family as defined by God.” In response, violent rioters, including Antifa members, showed up to harass the Christians. This ended in police making over 20 arrests.  Sadly, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell blamed the Christians for the violence.  In response, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino  announced, “We have asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle concert. Freedom of religion isn't a suggestion.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on a rise in consumer confidence.

The U.S. just received a downgrade to its credit rating, should you worry? Last week, Moody's announced it downgraded the United States sovereign credit rating from AAA to Aa1. While a downgrade is important to understand and can have negative consequences for interest rates, this downgrade did not seem too problematic. I mainly say that because Moody's was the last major credit rating agency to have the U.S. at the highest possible rating. The first downgrade carried the most weight in my opinion as it had the highest shock value. Standard & Poor's was the first to move in August 2011 and the stock market fell 6.66% the session after the announcement. Fitch then lowered its rating on U.S. debt in August 2023 and the stock market lost 1.38%. After this Moody's downgrade the stock market seemed to have little reaction as it actually had a small increase following the news. While this downgrade may sound scary, I don't believe it will have long term consequences considering the fact that US debt is still viewed as a very safe asset. With that said, the US does need to address the growing deficit problem as further downgrades from these credit agencies could cause problems.   Demand for electric vehicles is falling dramatically Electric vehicle sales in the month of April declined 5% while the overall car market grew by 10%. This is only the third monthly decline in four years for electric vehicles. The reason for the decline is consumers are watching their spending more than they have in a while and many of the deals and promotions for electric vehicles have disappeared. It was not just Tesla who had difficulty because of Elon Musk's political association, but even Kia, Hyundai and Ford experienced drops. Rivian was hit hardest on their R1T pickup truck as it saw a 50% decline in sales for April. With some of the crazy electric vehicle lease deals gone, consumers are also asking the question about charging related concerns. There are some car buyers who were considering buying an electric vehicle but they said it's not worth the stress of charging your vehicle all the time. It's just much easier to pull into a gas station that is always easy to find. This is only one month of electric vehicle sales and not a trend that has been going on for a while, but with the increased production of oil from OPEC and a large potential supply of oil in the future, gas prices should decline which takes away the incentive of paying more for an electric vehicle.   High risk, private market investments are showing up in more 401(k) plans Another big 401K provider called Empower who oversees $1.8 trillion in 401(k) assets for about 19 million people has decided it will start allowing private credit, equity and real estate in some of the accounts they administer later this year. I think this is a terrible idea for investors. I have seen the back end of these private deals and many times investors have made no money from them and can only get out a little bit of their money at a time, while they are suffering from low returns and high fees. No surprise Wall Street loves these private market investments because of high fees, which range anywhere from 1% to 2% of the portfolio balance on an annual basis. One way they are trying to sneak in the private market funds is with a 10% allocation in the popular target date funds. This is pretty sneaky because you may be thinking you're getting a pretty conservative stock and bond fund that becomes more conservative as you get older, but with a 10% allocation in these private assets I believe it will increase the funds risk and lower the returns going forward. As always, the bankers on Wall Street only care about generating more fees, and don't care if investors lose money as long as they bring in their billions of dollars in profits. If you see these in your 401(k) options, cross them off the list and stick to the traditional long-term investments that have worked for so many years now.   Financial Planning: Who Benefits from the new SALT proposal? The current SALT deduction allows taxpayers who itemize to deduct up to $10,000 of certain state and local taxes, most importantly their state income taxes and property taxes, from their federal taxable income. The new proposal in the House bill would raise this cap to $40,000 for households earning under $500,000, with a phaseout that fully eliminates the expanded deduction at $600,000. Married and single tax filers alike with incomes over $600,000 would be subject to the $10,000 SALT limit. This change is intended to benefit middle- and upper-middle-income taxpayers in high-tax states, while limiting the benefit for higher earners. The proposal also includes annual 1% inflation adjustments beginning in 2026. If the bill is signed into law in its current form, the larger deduction would apply beginning in tax year 2025. If passed, tax payers who make less than $600k in high tax states who own a home with a mortgage will see the biggest tax benefit and they may want to adjust their tax withholdings or estimated tax payments to account for it. However, the bill has not passed the Senate, and the final terms are likely to change.   Companies Discussed: CAVA Group, Inc. (CAVA), First Solar, Inc. (FSLR), Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI), & UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH)

True birders are some of the most determined and persistent hobbyists out there. If you want to call bird watching a hobby. For many, it's more like a passion. Many look forward to “Big Day” competitions, where individuals and teams strive to see how many different bird species they can spot in a 24-hour period. Many birders log their sightings and identifications in eBird, a smartphone application created by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. The good news is that millions of birders use this app. The concerning news is that their bird sightings over a recent 14-year-period point to population declines in 75 percent of North American bird species. To learn more about this news, we've invited Dr. Amanda Rodewald from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Cornell University to join us today.

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly turning to third-party service providers to enhance their capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud solutions. A recent Forrester report, commissioned by Crayon, indicates that 31% of surveyed leaders from Australia, New Zealand, India, and Southeast Asia plan to combine in-house teams with external providers to improve their AI capabilities within the next year. The report highlights a significant interest in AI, with 83% of respondents experimenting with free AI tools, although many are still in the exploration phase rather than implementation. Additionally, 87% of businesses are increasing their budgets for third-party services, signaling a shift towards advisory and pilot projects rather than traditional managed services.In Europe, there is a growing trend among customers to seek alternatives to U.S. cloud service providers due to concerns over reliability, pricing, and data security. Discussions at the recent KubeCon EU event revealed a tripling of inquiries for local cloud solutions, with companies like NextCloud gaining traction. The dominance of major players like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google, which control about 70% of the European cloud market, is being challenged as organizations question their control over data and consider a transition to trusted local providers.Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing sentiment is declining, with many manufacturers bracing for recession-like conditions amid ongoing trade tensions. Surveys indicate a significant drop in optimism among factory owners, with the New York Federal Reserve reporting one of the lowest outlooks in over two decades. Although manufacturing output saw a slight increase in March, the overall landscape remains volatile, with future hiring intentions at their lowest since 2016. This juxtaposition of rising output against declining sentiment underscores the complexities facing the manufacturing sector.Lastly, Synology is tightening its grip on hardware by implementing restrictions on the use of third-party hard drives in its future network-attached storage devices. Starting in 2025, only Synology-branded drives and those certified by the company will be supported for full functionality. This move raises concerns about vendor lock-in, particularly for managed service providers (MSPs) who have relied on Synology for its reliability and ease of use. Additionally, a cautionary tale emerges from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's misuse of Signal for sharing sensitive military information, highlighting the importance of operational security and the need for a strong cybersecurity culture within organizations. Three things to know today 00:00 Tech Tides Are Shifting: SMBs Want Advice, Europe Wants Control, and U.S. Industry Feels the Strain05:58 Hard Drives Locked Out: Synology Tightens the Rules, and MSPs Might Rethink Their NAS Game07:32 He Did It Again: Hegseth's Signal Habit Raises the Stakes for Cybersecurity Culture  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship  Join Dave April 22nd to learn about Marketing in the AI Era.  Signup here:  https://hubs.la/Q03dwWqg0 All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

#742 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/742    Presented by: On DeMark Lodge Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors    In this episode, we're headed to one of Montana's most iconic rivers — the Big Hole River. Known as one of the last strongholds for Arctic grayling and a key tributary of the Missouri River, the Big Hole is facing some serious challenges. Brian Wheeler, Executive Director of the Big Hole River Foundation, joins us to talk about declining trout populations, water quality concerns, and what's being done to turn things around. Brian breaks down the science behind their five-year water quality monitoring project, explains how nutrient pollution and dissolved oxygen levels are impacting the river, and shares why honest, transparent data is key to protecting this watershed for future generations. We also get a peek into Brian's adventures guiding on the Big Hole and running rivers like the Grand Canyon and the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/742

The housing market saw significant “softening” in February, with inventory rising, demand shrinking, and buyers regaining more control while sellers find themselves in a tough position. Why is this happening now, especially as mortgage rates continue to dip? With recession fears and economic tensions running high, Americans worry what's coming next, causing much of the economy to shift. With price declines already happening in some markets and more potentially on the horizon, when is the right time to buy? We're back with a March 2025 housing market update, going over what's happening in the national housing market, which states are seeing the hottest (and coldest) housing demand, what's going on with mortgage interest rates, and why the market is noticeably softening. But the real question remains: How can YOU continue building wealth while others fear the worst? Is this your “be greedy when others are fearful” moment? Dave is giving his take and sharing how he's tailoring his own investing strategy in 2025. Find investor-friendly tax and financial experts with BiggerPockets Tax & Financial Services Finder! In This Episode We Cover: Why the housing market is starting to noticeably “soften” in 2025  Hottest/coldest housing markets in the United States with the most/least inventory  Are price declines coming? Whether we'll end this year with negative price growth  Why mortgage rates are dropping, but housing demand isn't rising Why real estate could be the “First In, First Out” investment of 2025's wild economy  Whether or not now is the time to buy and what could cause a reversal of these worrying trends  And So Much More!

Who is the GOAT of basketball? One of the evergreen sports debates that will rage on into eternity. However, with the tragic death of the Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant's legacy seems to be overshadowing LeBron James'. Jason, joined by basketball analytics YouTuber Skap Attack, discusses whether Kobe Bryant was a better basketball player than LeBron. What is valued more: MVPs, championships, or team success? Are there any blemishes on their careers? In other news, the NFL draft is almost a month away, and Steve Kim and Jason talk about rising and falling draft stock. Shedeur Sanders' stock seems to be in a free fall. Many question whether he has what it takes to be a locker-room leader in the NFL. A recent interview with executive producer/NFL analyst Greg Cosell explains that there are some other QBs in this draft class who are worth taking a closer look. Does the NFL have a diversity problem? Jarrett Allen thinks it does. He alleges that there aren't enough black coordinators and therefore not enough black coaches. Matthew Stafford trade rumors? Will the NFL try to replace tackle football with flag football in the future? A lot of questions and a lot of answers. A jam-packed sports show you don't want to miss.
