Consider the complexities of plan design, such as eligibility criteria, employer contributions, and financial savviness of the workforce. Create a process that evaluates all relevant factors, including the cost in order to ensure the best interests of participants are met.Prudence in evaluating record keepers is all about making informed decisions based on expertise and understanding the goals of the plan. Understand the facts and make decisions that would be considered good by similarly situated experts.The planning committee must understand the goals and options available. Advisors shouldn't focus solely on cost in the initial stages of the RFP process. There needs to be a clear understanding of the breadth of options to achieve the plan's goals. Understand the demographics and needs of the workforce to determine what's needed. Proprietary products can be a significant lever for pricing but should be evaluated based on their appropriateness for the plan.“Prudence is about making a decision that is informed by expertise, and if you don't have the expertise, then you should go out and find the expertise, but you need to make decisions that are informed by an appropriate level of expertise given the goals that you have set forth in front of you.” - Alice PalmerConnect with Maggie Younis:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maggie-younis/ Connect with Alice Palmer:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alice-palmer-jd-cebs-she-her-b7509524/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

As the US Presidential Election nears, Radiolab covers the closest we ever came to abolishing the Electoral College.In the 1960s, then-President Lyndon Johnson approached an ambitious young Senator known as the Kennedy of the Midwest to tweak the way Americans elect their President. The more Senator Birch Bayh looked into the electoral college the more he believed it was a ticking time bomb hidden in the constitution, that someone needed to defuse. With overwhelming support in Congress, the endorsement of multiple Presidents, and polling showing that over 80% of the American public supported abolishing it, it looked like he might just pull it off. So why do we still have the electoral college? And will we actually ever get rid of it?This episode was reported by Latif Nasser and Matt Kielty and was Produced by Matt Kielty and Simon Adler.

Just this year, Neelam Warren-Pal graduated from DePauw University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. Her late grandfather, Melvin Warren, was Ken's classmate in the late 1960s.When Ken left Southern California after graduating high school in 1966, he traveled to Chicago where he became a student at the Moody Bible Institute. Among his freshman dorm mates was Melvin Warren. They had long talks into the night. In retrospect, it was a clash of cultures. Four years later, Melvin called a press conference and announced that the Bible school was a white, hopelessly racist institution. Rather than receive an education, it caused him much harm. See JET MAGAZINE article from 1970.All these years, Ken lived with the suspicion that his response to Melvin's life story on the South Side of Chicago had contributed to his profound disappointment. Several years ago, Ken attempted to locate him - only to find that Melvin had died - too soon. Ken wrote a letter to Melvin and read it on a Beached White Male podcast episode - posted April 17, 2020. Several months later from her college dorm, Neelam, Melvin's granddaughter, decided on her own to search Google for the grandfather she had never met. Ken's podcast came up. Neelam listened as this stranger from California read a letter to her grandfather. He reflected on their days in Bible school more than fifty years before. Neelam shared her discovery with her Mom, Karen, Melvin's daughter. Since then Ken, Karen and Neelam have become friends. In this episode, you will hear Neelam's version of this heartwarming story. A graduate of DePauw University, Neelam hopes to be a podcaster. Her plan is to interview popular hip-hop artists. Ken and Neelam talk about her favorites: Doechii, Noname, and Megan Thee Stallion.

KAMALA HAS THE SPIRIT  She talked about spirit on MSNBC Wednesday night and produced another delicious word salad that made zero sense.  Jeffrey McCall, Professor of Communications at DePauw University grades the performance of MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle Wednesday night and talks about the continuing slow death of real journalism.  Former member of the Federal Election Commission, Hans von Spakovsky, has all the numbers to show what a joke it is to have the U.S. Postal Service playing a major role in counting ballots in a Presidential election. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Stethoscope and the X-ray: Laurie Taylor explores two medical innovations which have achieved iconic status. Nicole Lobdell, Assistant Professor of English at DePauw University, charts the when, where, and how of our use of X-rays, what meanings we give them and what metaphors we make out of them. Is there a paradox to living in an age where we rely on X-rays to expose hidden threats to our health and security but also fear the way they may expose us? Also, Tom Rice, Associate Professor in Anthropology at the University of Exeter investigates a scientific instrument which has become the symbol of medicine itself. What makes the stethoscope such a familiar yet charismatic object? Producer: Jayne Egerton

Jeffrey McCall is a Professor of Communication at DePauw University. He is also an established media critic with national credentials. He has written numerous op-eds that have been published in newspapers around the country. Harris v Trump Debate Analysis.

  IT WAS OVER AFTER THE FIRST QUESTION   Kamala Harris was asked to explain how she can claim that people are better off now than than they were four years ago and gave a rambling response that didn't come close to answering the question. When she wasn't pressed, it was a sign of what was to come from ABC's moderators.    Congressman  Byron Donalds, who was reported to be on a short list of candidates to become Donald Trump's running mate, has his take on the debate and what to expect from Kamala Harris for the rest of the campaign.    Jeffrey McCall, Professor of  Communications at DePauw University, has his grades for the ABC moderators and the media's coverage of the debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the nation braces for a pivotal presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the spotlight extends beyond the candidates to the moderators themselves. ABC News' David Muir and Linsey Davis face the daunting task of steering this high-stakes political discourse with fairness, substance, and decorum. Their performance could potentially shape the course of the election and public perception of the candidates. In an era of heightened political polarization, the role of debate moderators has never been more crucial or scrutinized. Jeffrey McCall from DePauw University weighs in on the situation and how the moderators can give a top notch performance that should fly under the radar.

Join Ben and Rahul for their discussion with Jake and Tor, breaking down the recent 495 million Dollar verdict in a product liability case against Abbott Laboratories for pre-term infant formula that increases the risks for developing necrotizing enterocolitis. Hear how Jake and Tor navigated this difficult case and won this epic battle. About Jacob Plattenbergerhttps://www.torhoermanlaw.com/team/jake-plattenberger/Jacob Plattenberger has taken hundreds of depositions, argued in countless hearings, and tried over 35 cases to a jury.His experience in and out of the courtroom has made him a passionate advocate for those injured due to the negligence of others.Jake started his career trying cases at one of the busiest civil courthouses in the country – the Richard J. Daley Center in downtown Chicago.He started out doing insurance defense because he knew that afforded him the best opportunity to get courtroom experience.“When I was working on the defense side, I always knew that I was going to be a plaintiff's lawyer. I knew that being able and willing to try a case to a jury was a skill that I needed to have if I was going to be able to offer my clients the best legal representation. Insurance companies and corporate defendants need to believe you when you say you will take them to trial – they need to fear that.”This type of real trial experience is exceedingly rare in complex civil litigation and having seen it from the defense side gives Jake an added advantage.At TorHoerman Law, Jake manages our Chicago office where he leads trial teams in nationwide, complex litigations such as:Representing dozens of workers across the United States who were exposed to Diacetyl at work and now suffer lung diseaseeg. The Juul/E-cigarette LitigationThe Incretin Mimetics Products Liability Litigation, currently pending in the Southern District of California, where he was named to the Plaintiff's Steering CommitteeVarious Transvaginal Mesh multidistrict litigations that are currently pendingJake also maintains a personal injury practice in Chicago, representing people and their families who have been victims of catastrophic auto and truck accidents, products liability, maritime accidents, premises liability, and medical negligence.Jake believes that to successfully represent his clients, it is absolutely necessary to get personally involved.Jake's quote below perfectly reflects that belief! Notable Cases & ResultsIncretin Mimetics – Products Liability Litigation, MDL Case No. 13MD2452 AJB (MDD). Appointed to the Plaintiff's Steering Committee by Judge Battaglia in the MDL. The case is pending.JUUL E-Cigarettes – Products Liability Litigation, JCCP No. 5052.

Clayton, MO; and Chicago, IL to kickstart operations; all three offices remain open today.In the time since opening THL, Tor and his team have litigated many pharmaceutical malpractice and personal injury cases.Notable Successes at THLTor's most notable successes while operating THL are perhaps co-leading the litigations against Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa and Takeda's Actos.Through intense research and vetting, Tor was able to find substantial evidence indicating Actos causes bladder cancer and Pradaxa causes internal bleeding.He then presented the evidence to the companies, which decided to settle the cases.Tor played a significant role in negotiating these settlements, which ended up being $650 million for Pradaxa and $2.4 billion for Actos.Tor has also had major success in several other product liability lawsuits, such as Zelnorm, Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents, and Incretin Mimetics.We've outlined these cases, a few other notable cases, and their correlating results in the section below.Recognition & AwardsHis successes with these cases and beyond earned him the distinction as a Top 25 Notable Alumni from the Chicago-Kent School of Law, which was awarded to him and 24 other lawyers out of the tens of thousands who have graduated from the school since its founding in 1888.Tor is also recognized as a Top 100 National Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Organization. Notable Cases & ResultsPradaxa (Dabigatran Etexilate) – Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2385 – Appointed by Judge Herndon as national lead counsel in the MDL.

MAYBE YOU'RE A LITTLE TOO TESTOSTERONEY  Dana Bash and Jake Tapper of CNN suggested that the Harris/Walz campaign is looking to attract men who don't act too much like men.   Jeffrey McCall, Professor of Communications at DePauw University grades the legacy media on their coverage of the Democrat convention. He's not impressed.   Democrats are outraged over the Republicans' plan to enforce election law in Georgia that requires an investigation when there are more ballots than voters. This is the state that indicted Donald Trump for questioning the results of the 2020 election there. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  KAMALA AND TIM ARE COMIMG  The Harris-Walz campaign will be boarding a bus in Pittsburgh on Sunday and heading out to Chicago for the convention. Maybe someone in local media can get them to do something they haven't done yet - answer a question.  Jeffrey McCall, Professor of Communications at DePauw University and media critic at The Hill, says the Harris campaign giving the media the silent treatment is un-American and it's working.  The Browns want taxpayers to pay for at least half of a $2.4 billion domed stadium. David Rumsey of Frontofficesports.com has the details. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Season 13, Episode 15, of the ParentingAces Podcast, a proud member of the Tennis Channel Podcast Network. This week, father-son duo, Scott and Bode Campbell, share a real-world example of a family trying to navigate high level junior tennis utilizing the resources and content created and curated by ParentingAces. In this episode, you will learn how a parent and family has used this forum to answer questions they had about junior tennis and become exposed to the latest trends in training, college recruiting, and parenting well. Scott grew up in a tennis family and has played - and coached - throughout his life, including having a wonderful college tennis career at DePauw University. When his children were born, Scott knew he wanted to introduce them to tennis as well as other sports due to the lessons he learned through being an athlete. Oldest child, Greta, found her passion in dance (following in her mother's shoes). Middle and youngest sons, Bode and Gus, found their passion in a variety of sports including soccer, hockey, basketball, and, of course, tennis. Though Scott felt he knew a lot about junior tennis and the developmental pathways available, he also knew there was a lot he DIDN'T know. When Bode was 12, Scott stumbled upon the ParentingAces podcast and website and has used our extensive resources to inform his family's journey ever since. Bode continued to play multiple sports throughout middle school but realized last year that if he wanted to fulfill his dream of playing college tennis, it was time to bow out of hockey and the others. He feels like the resources his dad discovered through ParentingAces have made an enormous difference in terms of his on- and off-court training and his college recruiting efforts. Finishing his junior year of high school, staying in traditional school throughout, Bode is excited for what the summer will bring in terms of his development and competitive opportunities. Both Scott and Bode recognize the wealth of resources ParentingAces brings to families who are just trying to understand if and how high-level tennis (college and beyond) can be figured out. They have used those resources to help Bode get to his goal of playing in college and hope other families understand how valuable ParentingAces can be from start to finish. Scott has graciously offered to field any questions you may have via email: sccsearch@msn.com. You can find both Scott and Bode on Instagram as well. Scott is https://www.instagram.com/scottcoulter5/ and Bode is https://www.instagram.com/bodecampbell_tennis/.
