The United States Supreme Court is set to examine an issuethat could dramatically impact the future of ERISA litigation.  Ahead of that, Nevin (Adams) and Fred (Reish) look at the issues – and potential impact(s).The IssueThe case - Anderson v. Intel - is about what a participant must allege to get an ERISA investment prudence claim past a motion to dismiss.  More specifically, the question presented is: Whether, for claims predicated on fund underperformance,pleading that an ERISA fiduciary failed to use the requisite "care, skill, prudence, or diligence" under the circumstances and thus breached ERISA's duty of prudence when investing plan assets requires alleging a "meaningful benchmark.”Said another way, when a participant says an investment'sunderperformance suggests the fiduciaries acted imprudently, does the complaint have to identify a genuinely comparable investment to get past a motion to dismiss? The Court is weighing how to prevent hindsight comparisons fromstanding in for evidence of a flawed decision, while allowing a claim based on other facts that plausibly point to imprudence. NOTE: It is not deciding whether Intel's use of private equity and hedge funds was prudent.Some BackgroundAfter the 2008 financial crisis, Intel changed the investment mix in its custom target-date and global diversified funds, adding hedge funds and private equity. Intel said – and communicated to participants – that the strategy was intended to reduce volatility and protect against largelosses in downturns, while acknowledging that it could lag funds with heavier stock allocations during rising markets. Former employee Winston Anderson challenged the strategy, alleging that the funds' performance and costs, amongother facts, supported an inference that the fiduciaries had acted imprudently. He also alleged that investments benefited Intel's venture-capital arm.What's at IssueIn essence, Anderson argues that courts must assess allthe allegations together: unusual allocations, alleged risks and costs, and performance evidence may collectively support an inference of imprudence even without a closely matched comparator. Intel responds that if relativeunderperformance is the basis for inferring a flawed process, the comparison must be meaningful; otherwise, a fund could look deficient simply because it pursued a different objective.The Labor Department and most retirement industry trade groups have weighed in supporting Intel's position.  Meanwhile, participant advocate groups – and formerLabor Department officials are backing the position of theparticipant-plaintiff.Why is the Supreme Court Considering the Issue?Intel has prevailed at both the district court and appellatecourt levels on the issue.  But different federal court districts have taken different positions on the requirement toassert a meaningful benchmark at the motion to dismiss stage.  The Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth havesupported that requirement, though the Sixth Circuit has taken a somewhat different stance.  However, the disagreement is chiefly about claims that infer imprudence from relative performance or cost, not whether every ERISA prudence complaint needs a benchmark.And note - the proposed Investment Selection Rule uses the same phrase for a different purpose. Its paragraph (k) would require a fiduciary selecting a designated investment alternative to identify a “meaningful benchmark” and compare the alternative's risk-adjusted expected returns, net of fees, with it. However, the proposal defines that benchmark broadly: it could be an investment, strategy, index, or other comparator with similar mandates, strategies, objectives, and risks. 

This Day in Legal History: Congress Proposes the Bill of RightsOn September 25, 1789, the First Congress agreed on twelve proposed amendments to the newly ratified Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. Ten of those twelve would be ratified by the states in December 1791, and we know them today as the Bill of Rights. It was the fulfillment of a promise—many states had ratified the Constitution only on the understanding that a bill of rights protecting individual liberties would swiftly follow.The amendments are the beating heart of American individual liberty. The First Amendment's protections for speech, press, religion, and assembly; the Fourth Amendment's shield against unreasonable searches; the Fifth and Sixth Amendments' guarantees of due process and fair trials; the Eighth's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. What's remarkable is how the meaning of these spare, elegant clauses has been fought over and elaborated for more than two centuries—the words are fixed, but their application to new circumstances is a never-ending project. It's worth remembering, too, that two of the original twelve weren't ratified in 1789: one concerning congressional apportionment, and one on congressional pay—and that pay amendment was finally ratified in 1992, more than 200 years later, as the 27th Amendment.The significance of September 25, 1789 is that it created the framework of enumerated rights that Americans invoke against their government every single day—and never more directly than in today's lead story, which is, at bottom, a First Amendment fight over freedom of the press playing out at the doors of the White House. On the anniversary of the day those freedoms were proposed, we watch a court try to enforce them in real time.We have a remarkable follow-up to a story we covered earlier this week: the White House barred reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from entering—just hours after a federal judge ordered their access restored and deemed the ban likely unconstitutional. Let me lay out the sequence, because it's striking. Recall those three outlets sued after President Trump banned them over what he called their “negative stories.” This week, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled for the outlets, temporarily blocking the ban for 14 days and finding it likely unconstitutional—a clear First Amendment win. And then, hours later, when reporters from those outlets tried to enter the White House grounds, Secret Service officers turned some of them away and even confiscated a Politico reporter's credentials. The outlets rushed back to court, requesting an immediate hearing, and by the end of the day the White House began readmitting the journalists. Now, here's the legal significance, and it's serious, because this brushes up against one of the gravest issues in our legal system: compliance with court orders. When a court issues an injunction, parties are legally bound to obey it—full stop. The rule of law depends on the understanding that when a judge rules, even the most powerful actors, including the executive branch, comply. When there's a gap—even a few hours—between a court order and the government's compliance with it, that's not a small administrative hiccup; it raises the specter of defiance of the judiciary, which strikes at the foundation of the separation of powers. Now, the charitable read is that this was a logistical lag—word hadn't reached the officers at the gate—and the fact that access was restored by day's end supports that. But it happened against a backdrop of rising concern about executive compliance with court orders generally. The significance is that the First Amendment merits question—can a President ban outlets for critical coverage—now sits alongside an even more fundamental one: whether court orders enforcing those rights will be promptly obeyed. On the anniversary of the Bill of Rights, that's a sobering pairing.Politico denied access to White House after judge's order, news outlet says | Reuters · Washington Post · CNBCThe American Bar Association is fighting to hold onto one of its most consequential powers: its role as the federally recognized accreditor of the nation's law schools. This week, the ABA's legal-education council was set to meet with a federal advisory committee to defend that role, after the Department of Education recommended in August that the government withdraw recognition of the ABA as the official law-school accreditor. Let me explain why this is a big deal, because accreditation is quiet but enormously powerful. In most states, you have to graduate from an ABA-accredited law school to even sit for the bar exam—so the ABA's accreditation standards effectively shape what every law school in America must teach, how it must operate, and who can ultimately enter the profession. That's a tremendous amount of gatekeeping authority concentrated in a private professional organization. The administration's objection traces to an April 2025 executive order and centers on the ABA's diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements—specifically Standard 206, which required schools to demonstrate a commitment to diversity. And here's the telling development: earlier this month, the ABA's council voted 10 to 6 to repeal Standard 206, the very DEI requirement at the heart of the dispute. So the ABA is fighting on two fronts at once—defending its institutional role while simultaneously giving ground on the substantive policy that drew the administration's fire. This fits squarely within the anti-DEI campaign we've tracked across this administration, from the tax-exempt-status proposal to the pressure on universities. But it's also part of something broader—a contest over who controls the pipeline into the legal profession itself. The significance is real: if the government strips the ABA of its accreditor status, it could reshape legal education, shift accreditation power to the states or a new body, and mark an extraordinary intervention by the executive branch into the self-governance of the legal profession. For a profession that prizes its independence, that's a genuinely existential fight.ABA fights to retain law school governance role in meeting with Trump education department | Reuters · Inside Higher Ed · Fox BusinessAnd finally, New York has sued the prediction market Polymarket, calling it an illegal, unlicensed gambling operation—and the case cuts right to a question our legal system is scrambling to answer: what exactly is a prediction market? Attorney General Letitia James filed suit seeking to block Polymarket from operating in New York, arguing that its event contracts—where users put money on uncertain future outcomes, from elections to sports to who-knows-what—meet New York's legal definition of gambling. And since Polymarket isn't licensed by the New York State Gaming Commission, the state says it's operating illegally. James raised two pointed concerns: that Polymarket lets 18-to-20-year-olds trade sports markets even though New York requires mobile sports bettors to be 21, and that it avoids the taxes that licensed sportsbooks have to pay. Here's the fascinating legal core, and it's a classic federalism clash. Polymarket hit back within hours with its own suit, arguing that New York is overstepping, because Polymarket operates as a federally regulated exchange—its contracts are overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the federal commodities regulator. So the battle is: is a bet on an election outcome “gambling,” which states have always regulated, or is it a “swap” or derivative—a financial instrument—which falls under exclusive federal CFTC jurisdiction? If it's the latter, federal law may preempt New York's gambling regime entirely. This is the same fight James picked with Polymarket's rival Kalshi two months ago, and courts around the country are wrestling with it. The significance is that the outcome will help define whether the booming prediction-market industry is treated as a financial market or as a casino—a multibillion-dollar question about which sovereign gets to regulate it, and under which body of law. It's regulatory categorization as destiny, and right now nobody's entirely sure which box these things belong in.New York sues Polymarket, says it ran illegal gambling operation | Reuters · Bloomberg · CNBC This is a public episode.

In this episode, Dominic sits down with Dr. Maryanne Wolf, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA who has spent her career studying what she calls "the reading brain." Maryanne explains why reading doesn't come naturally to us the way language or vision does. It's a skill the brain has to build, circuit by circuit, and one that can atrophy if we stop exercising it.The numbers are stark. Nearly a third of American adults score at the lowest level of literacy. Fourth grade reading scores are at a two decade low. Eighth graders are performing worse than they have in four decades. And it isn't just a US problem. Countries around the world are seeing similar declines.Maryanne argues that these statistics are symptoms of something deeper: a shift away from what she calls "deep reading," the slow process that builds background knowledge, inference, empathy and critical thinking. She shares her own unexpected experience of realising her brain had changed after struggling to reread a novel she once loved, and what she did to rebuild that capacity.The conversation also digs into AI tools, audiobooks and podcasts, and what neuroscience is starting to reveal about "cognitive surrender," the growing reliance on technology to do our thinking for us. Maryanne makes the case that this isn't a minor cultural shift. It's a battle for how future generations will think, reason and govern themselves.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

The Society was founded in 1906 at the initiative of A.W. Pollard, and for over a century they have published (almost) every year edited volumes of early printed and manuscript texts of both well-known and neglected plays. They also publish collections of documentary material relating to the performance and reception of early drama. Their best-known publications include W.W. Greg's edition of Sir Thomas More, a collaborative history play, and A.C. Dunstan's edition of the earliest surviving original play in English to have been written by a woman, Elizabeth Cary's The Tragedy of Mariam.Their membership is international and open to anyone interested in early drama. Members receive their annual volumes and are able to buy books from their backlist at low prices.In addition to their publications, they support scholarship of early drama through fellowships and research grants, an annual prize for graduate students, and performances and symposia.The Society is named after Edmond Malone, born in Dublin in 1741, a great editor, textual scholar and theatre historian, whose work continues to shape studies in early drama. 

Gaius and Germanicus: On a rainy late summer night in 92 AD Londinium, the hosts convene in their newly expanded wine bar by the River Thames, built so retired centurions of the eighth legion—such as Strabo, who served twenty-seven years—can rest and put their feet up. Gaius apologizes for his tardiness, delayed by a commercial dispute with a Gaulishmerchant demanding extra money for a shipment of Greek wine brought across the choppy English Channel; a poor bargainer, Gaius resolves to pay whatever it takes to secure the wine for the centurions by Sunday, and shares his day planting fragrant sumacs and tall purple-flowered ironweeds as pollinators. From this first-century frame, the hosts turn to the collapse of American strategy: the Persian Empire (modern Iran) no longer fears the American "imperator," as shown by Iran inviting Iraq—a country generously supported by the United States for years—to ship at least five backed-up tankers of oil through the Strait of Hormuzuntouched, and by Pakistani army chief General Munir's travel to Tehran to meet the IRGC. Russia and China are in constant communication with Iran; Germanicus traces Russia's interest to the nineteenth century, the 1908 spheres-of-influence division, and the 1942 invasion, arguing the American "feckless war" has stitched the Eurasian continent together and frozen the US out. Where the post-9/11 US "bestrode the Middle East like a colossus" and Iran sought breathing room through the JCPOA, now Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan court Tehran, the Gulf states seek accommodations in the new order, and the US has been reduced to nothing more than Israel's direct defender.

Roxanne Swentzell was a young mother on a small piece of land at Santa Clara Pueblo when she was introduced to permaculture design principles––which dovetailed with indigenous patters of thinking and land use. She turned her yard from hard, sun-scorched earth into an agroforest that provides food, wood, fiber and habitat. She founded the Flowering Tree Permaculture Institute, which focuses on teaching principles and practices of desert gardening, composting, seed saving, animal husbandry, beekeeping, building, and maintaining cultural knowledge--based on principles of integrity, love, reciprocity, communication, work, and consideration.

We want you to hear from the mind of an abuser once more... This episode, our eighth in this "Mind of the Abuser" series, comes with content and trigger warnings: Domestic abuse, domestic violence, language, and graphic violence. We have heard enough about the minds and justifications of abusers to have insights into what we would probably hear. It would sound like the excuses for actions taken only to gain control over another person. It would be a relentless pushback. There would be no apologies. That is what you will hear in this episode. This episode will talk about the Warning Signs of a potentially unhealthy (dangerous) relationship. But, this is from an abuser's point of view. The voice you will hear on this WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast episode was created by a computer program. It is not a real person's voice. The words spoken are a composite of beliefs and concepts expressed by dating and domestic abusers found within articles and interviews. They have been collected over nearly two decades. They have been reassembled as complete ideas and thoughts.   This episode illustrates how abusers portray themselves as victims. There is not one "portrait" that fits all abusers, of course, but many never take ownership of their words or actions, and they justify their abusive and destructive behavior.   Bill Mitchell NOTE: If you are a survivor and want to share your story of abuse on the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, please email me: ⁠⁠⁠BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com⁠⁠⁠ The ⁠⁠⁠WHEN DATING HURTS book⁠⁠⁠ (in paperback, eBook, and audiobook) can be found on Amazon.

We want you to hear from the mind of an abuser once more... This episode, our eighth in this "Mind of the Abuser" series, comes with content and trigger warnings: Domestic abuse, domestic violence, language, and graphic violence.

John Keel's theory gets a lot harder to ignore when the weirdness stops being just lights in the sky.In Part 2 of this Idiot Mystic series on The Eighth Tower, we get into the cases where the phenomenon leaves marks: dead animals, burned skin, scorched grass, stalled engines, strange heat, radiation-like effects, and witnesses whose bodies seem to react before their minds can explain what they saw.Keel was not satisfied with saying UFOs were just spacecraft from another planet. He thought many encounters behaved more like an invisible force breaking into ordinary reality, affecting the body, the nervous system, animals, landscapes, and belief itself.This episode moves through some of the strangest material in the book, including unexplained animal deaths, the Florida scoutmaster case, UFO burns, electromagnetic effects, and the eerie overlap between religious apparitions and aerial phenomena like Fatima.The question is no longer just whether people are seeing something.The question is what kind of force can touch the body, burn the ground, terrify animals, and still vanish before anyone can explain what happened.Instagram & TikTok: @idiotmysticJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM

Experiments to rejoin the Host have forged a bond with grieving pond farmer, Ooland. As their mutual obsession tightens, so Ooland's ponds grow more polluted and their farm cut off from what is really happening on the moon: a full-on Rutan invasion. As the Doctor and Peri strive to free Melmoth and Ooland from each other, another Doctor is at work close by - with far-reaching plans of his own for the lone Rutan. This release will have a limited CD pressing of 1500 copies. Writer Lizzie Hopley said: "I chose to use the Sixth Doctor and Peri in this story, because I've always adored the energy of those two. Nicola and Colin have always had such an amazing humour, and a unique ability to slide from this humour into serious change. I thought it would be great to pitch that energy against a messed-up love story. "It's basically impossible for a Rutan to fall in love, so I thought, well, let's do that then. I wanted us to care about this lone Rutan, and I wanted to create a tragedy, because if you invest in characters and you believe they care for one another, even for selfish reasons, then you can create terrible tragedy, and I wanted to have our Eighth and Sixth Doctors and Peri really experience that." Lead actor Colin Baker added: "I was rather captivated by the Romeo and Juliet story, the two warring factions who have not exactly a romantic relationship, but a relationship of affection, love, understanding. And I think that's rather sweet and rather tragic, and it really appealed to me."

How do we know if we are following Biblical wisdom? In chapter 3 of his epistle, James sets the standard with eight qualities of godly wisdom:   First, godly wisdom is pure. False wisdom is characterized by bitter envy and selfish ambition; godly wisdom is characterized by purity of motive.   Second, it is peace-loving. Selfish ambition can start a war, but God's wisdom can bring Truth and clarity where there is chaos.   Third, it is considerate. Though you have strength and power, you control yourself so that when you have the opportunity to hurt somebody, you won't do it.   Fourth, it is submissive. Being submissive means being willing to listen and willing to learn. To be submissive is to be humble and teachable, not a doormat to be walked over but meek, so that your strength is guided and submitted to God, making you gentle and kind.   Fifth, it is full of mercy. The word used here actually has a double meaning: forgiving those who wrong us and then being willing in our hearts to help them.   Sixth, it is full of good fruit. You cannot manufacture the fruit of the Spirit. True spiritual maturity happens from the inside out for those who are indwelt by the Spirit of God and are seeking His wisdom moment by moment.   Seventh, it is impartial. Those who live by worldly wisdom cannot be impartial because they are always trying to please someone, but those who live by God's wisdom are consistent, single-minded, and authentic.   Eighth, it's sincere. A sincere person is genuine, without hypocrisy, and wears no mask.   Godly wisdom is the kind of wisdom that comes from the very heart of God. As you read and pray through God's Word continually, you will find that your life is producing purity, peace, gentleness, willingness, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity—and that's how you'll know the Word of God is taking root. Join me in prayer.  Precious Lord, thank You for answering my prayers for wisdom by giving it to me generously. As I spend time studying Your Word and listening to Your voice, I know these things will begin to take root in me. Help me to prioritize that time with You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

But with college athletes now able to earn endorsement deals, they are preparing younger and younger to be recruited and potentially get paid.
