Texas students largely aren't making enough progress recovering from the learning disruptions touched off by the pandemic, new test results show. In other news, President Donald Trump's administration's crackdown on immigration, which began last week, has led to a daily spike in the number of arrests of undocumented people in the country; as a bird flu-induced egg shortage sweeps the country, North Texas restaurateurs are having to make adjustments to their menus to keep up with price increases and lack of availability. Matt Tobin, owner of Goodfriend Package and Goodfriend Beer Garden in East Dallas said, ‘we've seen a 20 to 25% increase in egg prices from November until now. They're probably up 17 to 18% just in the last month.' And the Dallas Cowboys' confirmed that newly minted head coach Brian Schottenheimer will also serve as the team's offensive play caller. The duty might've kept him in the building. Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones said after Schottenheimer's introductory news conference Monday at The Star that former head coach Mike McCarthy would have continued to call plays had the team retained him as head coach. Schottenheimer — who served as offensive coordinator for two seasons under McCarthy — wouldn't have hung around for a third year of that arrangement.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this engaging episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee draws inspiration from a casual morning ritual at Jimmy's Italian Food Store in East Dallas. He shares an enlightening perspective on how adopting a casual catchphrase like "yeah, yeah, sure, sure" can significantly alter how we face life's daily stresses and adversities. The episode unfolds with Baylor's signature eloquence, offering listeners practical tools to transform the monster of worry into manageable tasks. Focusing on the psychological power of words, Baylor discusses how our verbal reactions can amplify or mitigate stressful situations. Utilizing keywords such as "mental resilience," "stress management," and "positive mindset," he explains the physiological impact of stress and how it hinders problem-solving abilities. His advice centers on developing a personal catchphrase—something relatable and soothing like "it'd be like that sometimes"—to empower the listener when facing adversity, enabling a clearer mind equipped for critical thinking and solution-finding. This episode is a testament to the power of mindset and the simple, yet profound, strategies that can transform our daily interactions with stress. Key Takeaways: Harness the Power of Words: How you verbalize your thoughts can significantly affect your stress levels and problem-solving capabilities. Adopt a Catchphrase: Develop a phrase, like "yeah, yeah, sure, sure," to neutralize negative feelings and maintain a calm demeanor when facing adversity. Shift Your Mindset: Simple linguistic shifts can lessen the impact of stress, allowing for better focus and decision-making. Understand Stress Responses: Recognize that stress can impair critical thought, and use your catchphrase to prevent rash reactions. Build Mental Resilience: Consistency in using your phrase creates a defense mechanism against stress, enabling clearer focus on solutions. Notable Quotes: "Words give power to your thoughts. The things you think, and say out loud, either enhance or diminish those things." "We have to quit giving the playbook to the enemy of our minds." "Have a 'yeah, yeah, sure, sure' mentality." "It'd be like that sometimes." "Develop your phrase and start committing to making that your default." If you're looking to sharpen your mindset and achieve your goals, we've got you covered.
