National says it'll make trans-Tasman travel more 'seamless' if re-elected. The party is promising to trial fully digitalising airport processes between Australia and New Zealand, so people don't need to show passports. Eligible travellers could provide details digitally and pass through gates with facial recognition. Tourism spokesperson Louise Upston says this will make the process faster and encourage more Australians to come to New Zealand. "In 2009, when National was last in office, we got the SmartGate technology - and so this is really the next step, which means you don't have to have your physical passport as you're moving through the airport."

The Trump administration commenced distribution of $500 Treasury Department refund payments on September 30, 2026, to approximately 1 million Affordable Care Act enrollees.According to The White House Fact Sheet, the administration had accumulated a $500 million surplus fund derived from excess user fees levied on insurance companies operating on the federal exchange, which were subsequently transferred to consumers through elevated premium costs.Health policy experts consulted by journalists observed that although the $500 checks offer immediate financial relief, they address only a portion of the substantial premium increases that enrollees experienced following the expiration of COVID-era federal health insurance subsidies earlier in the year.The refunds are being transmitted automatically to a designated subset of health insurance enrollees. Recipients residing in one of the 30 states that depend exclusively on the federal HealthCare.gov exchange marketplace rather than a state-administered exchange constitute the primary recipients. Eligible enrollees are those who did not receive premium assistance subsidies and remitted full premiums. The majority of qualifying individuals earn in excess of 400% of the federal poverty line.Eligible individuals will receive the funds automatically through physical mail or direct deposit. Households containing multiple qualifying members may receive more than one check. Checks are accompanied by a letter bearing President Trump's signature.Nevertheless, certain commentators have characterized the initiative as a "political gimmick" strategically timed preceding the consequential midterm elections.They contest the Trump administration's assertions that the Biden administration imposed excessive charges on citizens, contending that the distributed funds may have originated from fees collected during Trump's preceding term. Critics further argue that the disbursements do not constitute a substantive, enduring approach to addressing the persistent escalation of healthcare premiums.Organizations such as Protect Our Care, alongside various policy analysts, emphasize that five hundred dollars represents merely a modest portion of the substantial premium increases that middle-income households encounter as a consequence of lapsed federal tax credit provisions.In contrast, the Trump administration and its proponents characterize these payments as an essential remedy for governmental administrative deficiencies.

Eskom has extended its waiver on registration-related charges for eligible customer-owned solar systems of up to 50 kilovolt-amperes connected directly to its distribution network. The waiver, which was due to end yesterday, will now remain in place until further notice. Eskom says the registration requirement itself remains.

This week's Managed Care Cast episode features a conversation between The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) and Grace Mackleby, PhD, a research scientist at the USC Schaeffer Center, about her study, "Plan Switching Among Medicare Advantage Enrollees Dually Eligible for Medicaid," published in the September 2026 issue of AJMC. The study examined how often beneficiaries switched from one Medicare Advantage (MA) plan to another or from MA to traditional Medicare (TM). It compared enrollees dually eligible for Medicaid with those eligible for Medicare only. Mackleby explained that dually eligible beneficiaries account for about one-fifth of the Medicare population and tend to have more chronic conditions, higher costs, and greater needs; they are also subject to different rules on when they can switch plans. Mackleby and coauthors Angela Liu, PhD, and Erin Trish, PhD, used administrative Medicare enrollment data to track switching from 2016 to 2022. She highlighted 3 main results. First, about 22% of fully dually eligible enrollees switched MA plans in 2022, up from about 12% in 2016. Second, these enrollees were roughly 6 times more likely to switch to another MA plan than TM. Third, dually eligible beneficiaries overall switched MA plans more often than those eligible for Medicare only. The study did not examine causes, but Mackleby pointed to 2 likely drivers: the growing number of available MA plans and the strong competition among insurers, which have heavily marketed supplemental benefits such as flex cards and dental coverage. For non–dually eligible beneficiaries, she added, it is difficult in most states to obtain Medigap coverage after enrolling in MA, which makes returning to TM financially unappealing. Switching also varied by race and ethnicity. Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native fully dually eligible enrollees switched MA plans more often than non-Hispanic White enrollees. Mackleby said geography may play a role. However, higher switching could also indicate lower satisfaction with available plans, which warrants further study, she noted. Looking ahead, Mackleby emphasized the need to understand whether switching helps or harms beneficiaries, including its effects on access to care and cost sharing. She also called for research on how switching shapes market performance. "I think looking at it from a beneficiary welfare perspective is going to be really important, and then also looking at it from a market perspective is going to be important too," Mackleby concluded.

From today the free bowel cancer screening age starts lowering from 58 years old to 56. The latest change is a phased roll out, happening region by region, and means another 200,000 New Zealanders are eligible for a free home test. Bowel cancer is the second highest cause of cancer death in Aotearoa. More than 1,200 people die from it annually, and yet when it's caught early, it's one of the most treatable cancers there is. Bowel Cancer New Zealand chief executive Peter Huskinson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Mauskar, a vulvar dermatologist at UT Southwestern, for a wide-ranging conversation about vulvar skin conditions, common misdiagnoses, and why so many patients are told to just "wait and see" when they actually need an exam.

Sept. 25, 2026- Assemblymember Sam Berger, a Queens Democrat, makes the case for letting independent voters participate in political primaries, which are currently restricted in New York to registered party members.

The Cleveland Orchestra are on strike after months of contract negotiations failed to produce an agreement. Musicians say they remain "far apart" from management on salary and health care costs, and they also want a greater voice in the audition process. A Friday concert in Michigan has been canceled, while musicians plan to perform free chamber concerts Saturday at Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights. If an agreement is reached by Sunday night, the orchestra could still leave Monday for a European tour. Ohio lawmakers will return to Columbus next Wednesday for a rare session focused on a proposed 90-day suspension of the state's gas tax. The vote could cost the state more than $600 million in revenue, with the Ohio Department of Transportation potentially absorbing the loss. The proposal is backed by Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy and Democratic nominee Amy Acton, who both called for a gas tax holiday earlier this week. Nearly 209,000 Ohio voter registrations are scheduled to be purged from the voter rolls in January. The Ohio Secretary of State's office says the registrations belong to voters who have moved, entered confirmation status or remained inactive for at least four years after receiving a confirmation notice. Voters can check the state's Registration Readiness Database to see whether their registration is on the list, and no registrations will be removed before the November 2026 election. Eligible voters can prevent cancellation by voting, confirming or updating their registration information, or completing other qualifying voter activity. A Cleveland City Council member plans to introduce legislation Monday to repeal the city's prohibition on recreational fires and backyard firepits. Councilmember Charles Slife says the 1977 ban was enacted over air-quality concerns, but Cleveland's air quality has improved significantly since then. The legislation would still need to go through committee and a full council vote. We'll discuss these stories and more on the Friday Reporters Roundtable hosted by Mike McIntyre.

   President Obama is coming to KC to speak for a few minutes and pick up a massive check from a multi-billion dollar KC investment firm.  But he won't be campaigning for Kansas and Missouri Democrats.  Those folks, like Pastor Adam Hamilton, are making it clear they don't want an endorsement from him or Kamala or Biden or any of the real dems.   What a fraud.  If these people win, they will just fall in line and become lackies for them.    Argentina president Javier Milei spoke in front of the United Nations and just unloaded on them for being globalist frauds.  He's such an unfiltered truth teller.    A Turning Point USA event on campus at Mizzou turns ugly and sad when a really, really sick student stepped up to the microphone in a Charlie Kirk style shirt with blood all over his neck and white tee shirt.  What is wrong with these people?    The Chiefs set an 11 year high for Sunday Night Football ratings with their overtime win and we'll update their injuries for you.  Trump posts he's heading to the Texas-Tennessee game Saturday with Peyton Manning and maybe College Gameday.   KU basketball could be getting a star player back.  The USA President's Cup golf team featured one player in a photo with all 14 wives and girlfriends at the pre-tourney dinner.  It's NASCAR playoff run weekend at Kansas Speedway and a diner in Pleasant Hill is about to get really, really famous.

Big news for Indiana athletics: Stephen Daley and Kellen Wyatt are eligible to play, after a Monroe County court granted temporary relief in the NCAA eligibility case. The ruling also affects Sam Alexis in men's basketball, Avry Tatum in volleyball, IU swimmers, and other athletes involved in the case.In this breaking CrimsonCast update, Galen Clavio explains what the court found, why the NCAA's treatment of the 2022 recruiting class became central to the dispute, and how the organization's move toward a five-years-to-play-five model created a major inconsistency. The ruling points specifically to how athletes from the 2022 class who had already played four seasons were excluded while redshirted athletes and later classes were treated differently.Galen also breaks down the court's criticism of the NCAA's rulemaking process, previous eligibility exceptions involving COVID seasons, junior-college transfers and former professional athletes, and why the judge found immediate relief necessary with several college sports seasons already underway.The temporary order is not necessarily the final word, but for Indiana the immediate impact is significant: Daley and Wyatt can return to the football defense, while Alexis and Tatum also regain eligibility for their respective IU programs.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast, Indiana football, IU basketball and breaking Indiana athletics coverage.

Atlanta has an eviction problem, and it's much bigger than a few people simply falling behind on rent.On this episode of Where The Party At?, we break down why metro Atlanta continues to see eviction filings at an extraordinary rate, what Georgia law has to do with it, and why an eviction filing can follow a renter even when they ultimately pay what they owe.Over the last 12 months, the five-county Atlanta metro recorded 142,047 eviction filings, representing a 24% filing rate roughly one filing for every four renter households. At the same time, the cost of housing continues to outpace what many Georgia workers earn. In metro Atlanta, the 2026 housing wage for a two-bedroom apartment is $35 an hour, while fair market rent is $1,820 per month.We get into why Georgia's eviction process can move so quickly, the cost of filing an eviction case, the rent-to-wage gap, housing supply and zoning, racial disparities in eviction filings, and what state lawmakers, local governments and courts could potentially do differently.But that's just the beginning.ALSO ON THIS EPISODE POLL WHIPLASH: New polls are giving Georgia voters very different pictures of the governor and U.S. Senate races. We talk about why you should look beyond the headline and pay attention to who conducted the poll, sample size and margin of error. A Rasmussen survey had Rick Jackson at 48% and Keisha Lance Bottoms at 45%, a three-point difference within its stated margin of error. The same pollster had Jon Ossoff at 51% and Mike Collins at 42% in the Senate contest, while a later Quantus survey measured Ossoff at 48.2% and Collins at 44.4%.THE FIGHT OVER BALLOTS: We discuss mail-ballot rules, multilingual voting materials, Georgia's voter rolls and the renewed conversation around hand-marked paper ballots. We also get into an accessibility concern raised before a Georgia legislative committee: if most voters use hand-marked ballots while voters with disabilities use machines, could that make those voters easier to identify?DID AI WRITE FULTON COUNTY LEGISLATION? Fulton County Commissioner Dana Barrett raised questions after running several proposed ordinances and resolutions through an AI-detection tool. Commissioners Bob Ellis and Marvin Arrington Jr. pushed back on the larger criticism, opening a much bigger conversation: what role should artificial intelligence play in writing laws and government policy?CONGRESS WENT HOME: The House left Washington ahead of the November election, setting off another debate about what Congress is and isn't getting done before voters head to the polls.THE PARTY LINE: This week's caller asked how she should connect her Christian faith to her political party, especially when she feels the Republican Party represents more of her values than the Democratic Party.PARTY POOPER — HARTSFIELD-JACKSON: An estimated 33,000 gallons of sewage spilled near Sullivan Creek, a tributary of the Flint River. We talk about the latest incident and concerns surrounding previous releases connected to the airport.PARTY STARTER — CITY OF ATLANTA: Atlanta launched a new anti-displacement microloan pilot designed to help eligible renters before a missed payment becomes an eviction case. Eligible households at participating properties can receive $500 with no interest or fees, repaid at $20 per week for 25 weeks.The bigger question running through this episode: Who actually has the power to change the issues affecting your everyday life?Sometimes it's Washington. But a lot of the decisions involving housing, elections, ethics, courts and local government are being made much closer to home.WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Call The Party Line - Click Here

In this episode, I walk through the basics of vaginal estrogen and vaginal DHEA for genitourinary syndrome of menopause, recurrent UTIs, painful sex, urinary urgency, and vulvar tissue changes. I also answer audience questions throughout, covering safety after breast cancer, use alongside systemic HRT, dosing, formulations, and what to do when symptoms don't improve.This one's for clinicians and the general public alike, the focus is correcting misinformation, improving access, and helping people understand that low hormones can affect the pelvis long before or long after menopause.What We CoverWhat genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) actually means, and why it replaced older terms like vaginal atrophyThe full range of GSM symptoms — urinary urgency, recurrent UTIs, bladder leakage, pain with sex, dryness, tissue thinning — as one unifying hormone-related syndromeWhy GSM is so common (roughly 50–90% of women at or after menopause) and can start in perimenopause, during breastfeeding, on oral birth control, or after cancer treatmentData showing vaginal estrogen can reduce recurrent UTIs by about 50%, plus a large database study linking vaginal estrogen use to lower hospitalization, ICU admission, and sepsis-related death in women with recurrent UTIsWhy "too old for vaginal estrogen" is a myth, and why age alone is never a reason to deny itSafety after breast cancer — why the evidence supports vaginal estrogen for many survivors, and why "zombie myths" keep resurfacing anywayThe difference between systemic and local hormone therapy, and why some people need bothCreams vs. tablets vs. rings vs. vaginal DHEA — and why DHEA can be especially useful for reversing established atrophy (it converts to both estrogen and testosterone)Practical stuff: burning, discharge, application technique, dosing frequency, and when it's time for a pelvic exam instead of another productUsing vaginal estrogen alongside clobetasol for lichen sclerosus, and alongside systemic estrogen or testosterone when appropriateNotable Quotes"The third pillar of academia is to communicate the research, to communicate the knowledge to the general population.""There is not an age your driver's license tells you if you're too young or too old for vaginal estrogen.""If atrophy happens because of low hormones and you add hormones back, you can reverse atrophy."Key FrameworksGSM as the unifying diagnosis for urinary, sexual, and vulvovaginal symptomsLocal hormone therapy vs. systemic hormone therapyPrevention vs. symptom treatment"Zombie myths" — outdated beliefs that keep resurfacing despite the evidenceWant to join me live for these?

Learn latest trends such as CDs are making a comeback, TSA PreCheck expands airport access, we share how a horse trainer demonstrates snake desensitization, and a simple watering trick may help potted mums last longer. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!  A Little Retro, a Little Practical CD Sales Surge in 2026 as Younger Listeners Rediscover Physical Music Compact discs are making an unexpected comeback in the United States—and nostalgia may be only part of the story. CD sales jumped 58.6 percent during the first half of 2026, reaching $171.1 million, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Americans bought about 17.5 million CDs, a 45.7 percent increase from the same period last year. The revival comes as streaming continues to dominate music listening. Streaming generated about $4.9 billion during the first six months of 2026, or roughly 82 percent of the recorded-music market. At the same time, physical music is growing. Revenue from physical formats, including CDs and vinyl records, rose nearly 26 percent to $731.5 million. One major factor behind the CD surge is the popularity of collectible K-pop albums. These releases often come with special packaging, photo cards and other physical extras that give fans something to collect—not just music to play. But the increase goes beyond K-pop. Even after excluding special-edition releases, CD sales were still up 6.7 percent. The comeback also fits into a larger retro-technology trend among younger consumers. Gen Z shoppers are showing interest in older technologies such as digital cameras, typewriters, flip phones—and now CDs and vinyl. For some younger buyers, the appeal may be having a more tangible and controlled way to experience technology, without the constant notifications, apps and algorithms associated with modern devices. Still, the music industry isn't ready to declare CDs back for good. CD sales actually fell 7.8 percent in 2025, with unit sales dropping from 33.3 million to 29.5 million. So, is this a lasting revival or a temporary spike driven by a few popular releases? The answer may become clearer when the RIAA releases its full-year 2026 numbers. For now, the compact disc is spinning again—and a new generation is discovering something many people thought had disappeared for good. TSA PreCheck Gateside Program Lets Non-Travelers Enter Airport Terminals Beyond Security According to the Transportation Security Administration, a new program called Gateside by TSA PreCheck allows eligible TSA PreCheck members to enter airport terminals beyond the security checkpoint—even when they are not flying. The program is free, but visitors must apply one to three days before their planned visit. Eligible visitors use their Known Traveler Number, or KTN, to apply. If approved, they can enter through the airport's TSA PreCheck lanes after showing an acceptable ID and, when requested, proof of approval. The program is designed for people who want to say hello or goodbye to family and friends at the gate, meet someone during a long layover, or enjoy restaurants and shops inside the secured terminal. Children can also participate, but they must be included on a parent or guardian's reservation. Gateside is currently available at 13 airports, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Columbus, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, and Mesa Gateway. TSA says the program is expected to expand to additional airports. There are some restrictions. Access may be limited during busy periods, and visitors must follow the same airport security and conduct rules as ticketed passengers. Violations can result in removal from the airport or other penalties. One important distinction: Gateside is specifically designed for eligible TSA PreCheck travelers and provides access through TSA PreCheck lanes. People using other airport or airline visitor passes generally must go through standard security screening. Overall, TSA says Gateside is intended to bring back some of the traditional airport experience—allowing people to spend time with loved ones at the gate even when they aren't traveling. Reference: https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/gateside-tsa-precheck Teaching Horses About Snakes  In areas where venomous snakes are common, encountering a snake can be a serious concern for horse owners. One trainer recently shared a Facebook demonstration showing a young horse being introduced to a non-venomous snake. The goal of this type of desensitization is to teach the horse not to panic when it sees or smells a snake. At the same time, responsible training should not encourage a horse to investigate snakes on its own. The broader lesson is about teaching a calm response while maintaining a healthy distance from potentially dangerous wildlife. Safety note: Snake desensitization should be handled by an experienced professional. Never place a horse or person at unnecessary risk by using a venomous snake. How To Help Potted Plants Like Mums Last Longer Potted mums and other mature seasonal plants can sometimes dry out quickly, particularly when their root balls have become very dry. One suggested watering technique is to place the plant's root ball in a bucket of water for 30 minutes to a couple of hours, allowing the lower roots and soil to absorb moisture thoroughly. After soaking, remove the plant, allow excess water to drain, and plant it as usual. Continue normal watering afterward. For mature seasonal plants, avoid automatically adding fertilizer. If the plant is already fully grown and nearing the end of its seasonal display, fertilizer may not be necessary and excessive fertilizer can damage roots OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Lexx about how to have honest conversations about sex with kids, why sexual shame still shapes adult relationships, and how to think more clearly about desire, consent, and pleasure. We dig into misinformation around sex education, sex as a form of power, and what healthy support can look like from educators, counselors, and therapists.What We CoverSex-positive parenting and how to talk to kids about bodies and boundariesWhy sexuality education in the U.S. is more restricted than people think — and why "medically accurate" isn't a givenThe real difference between sex educators, sex counselors, and sex therapistsHow midlife, menopause, and shifting desire reshape relationshipsPractical ways to rebuild intimacy and connection when the spark fadesKey FrameworksPersonal parts — Language that reduces shame and emphasizes ownership over the body.Unwanted touch / secret touch — Clearer safety language than "good touch, bad touch."Sexuality as a whole-life concept — Not just intercourse, but identity, embodiment, relationships, and power.Compersion — Feeling happy for a partner's pleasure or joy, even if it isn't personally relevant.Sensate focus — Purposeful nonsexual touch used to rebuild connection and learn what feels good.Consent first — The baseline for everything, including fantasy, touch, and negotiation.About Dr. LexxDr. Lexx (Lexx, The Sex Doc) is a sex therapist, educator, and speaker whose work centers healing, pleasure, and connection — with a particular focus on Black, Brown, and queer communities often left out of traditional therapy spaces.

Another big cost for data centers: insurance! You always hear about the obvious expenses involved in building data centers: incredibly expensive chips, massive energy requirements, cooling systems, and the cost of constructing the facility itself. But there's another major expense that doesn't get nearly as much attention: insurance. Once completed, a large data center can be worth anywhere from $20 billion to $50 billion or more. Meta's data center project in Northeast Louisiana, for example, is expected to cost more than $50 billion and will house thousands of servers along with extremely valuable power and cooling infrastructure. In the rush to build data centers, many hyperscalers and other companies have located facilities in areas where real estate is relatively inexpensive. The problem? An estimated 40% of U.S. data centers are located in tornado-prone areas. I guess some companies didn't think quite that far ahead. For insurance companies, this could become a massive market. The potential insurance premiums associated with data centers could eventually be 4–5 times the current global aviation insurance market. Data centers could become some of the most valuable insured assets in the world. And insuring them won't necessarily be cheap. An average cost of around $20 billion for a data center will exceed the insurance cost for bridges, tunnels, and skyscrapers. There's very little historical data showing how these massive facilities will perform during extreme weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Companies also want coverage for risks like equipment failures, business interruption and even terrorism, all of which can add significantly to premiums. So, there's yet another enormous cost that hyperscalers must absorb on top of the hundreds of billions of dollars they're already spending to build out AI infrastructure. The big question I still have is: How are companies ultimately going to recover all of these costs? The AI infrastructure buildout is becoming more expensive by the day. I'm sure glad we own an insurance company in our portfolio.   AI has taken scamming seniors to a whole new level The Federal Trade Commission estimates that roughly $196 billion was lost to fraud, with nearly half of that or about $82 billion coming from people over the age of 60. It's now estimated that roughly 37% of fraud involves artificial intelligence. The cases are frightening because scammers can now use AI to identify targets, make their pitches more convincing, execute scams faster, and target thousands of people at a scale we've never seen before. With AI, scammers can create what appears to be legitimate proof of identity, including realistic passports, driver's licenses, websites, and other documents. Gone are the days when scams are easy to spot because of grammatical errors, thick accents on phone calls, or obviously fake videos. And it goes far beyond dating scams. Imagine getting a phone call saying that your daughter witnessed a major drug deal and has been taken by traffickers unless you come up with $20,000. That sounds unbelievable, until they put your daughter on the phone, and you hear her voice, panicked and pleading for help. The problem? It isn't actually your daughter. It's an AI-generated voice that sounds just like her. So how do you protect yourself from AI fraud? One major red flag is a demand for cryptocurrency. Another is the pressure to keep the situation secret. Scammers often tell you not to contact anyone because they want to isolate you and prevent someone else from recognizing the scam. Scammers are becoming so bold that some will even show up in person pretending to be federal agents with fake badges and credentials. Remember this: The federal government will not demand that you hand over cash, cryptocurrency, gold bars, or other assets simply because someone claims to be a federal agent. If someone claims to be a federal agent and wants to meet at your home, you can always ask to meet at their office instead. A legitimate agent should have no problem with that. If someone is pressuring you to act immediately, keep it secret, and hand over money or valuables, stop and verify who you are dealing with before doing anything. AI is making scams more convincing than ever. The best defense may be simply slowing down long enough to question what you're being told.   The Housing Market Has a Rate Problem Existing-home sales fell 2% in August to an annualized pace of 3.98 million homes, the lowest level since June 2025. Sales are now down 1.2% from a year ago and have remained stuck around the 4 million annualized level for much of the past few years. Historically, a more normal housing market has been closer to 5.2 million existing home sales annually. At the same time, we are finally seeing more inventory. There were 1.62 million existing homes for sale in August, up 5.9% from a year ago and the highest level since 2019. That represents about 4.9 months of supply, which is the highest level in over a decade. This gives buyers more choices and more negotiating power than they've had in quite some time. But here's the problem: home prices aren't falling. The median existing home price rose 1.6% from a year ago to $429,100. So, buyers are dealing with a combination of high home prices and high borrowing costs. And I think one of the most important things to watch is the 10-year Treasury. A lot of people assume mortgage rates are primarily determined by the Federal Reserve. That's not really the case. The 30-year fixed mortgage is heavily influenced by longer-term Treasury yields, particularly the 10-year Treasury. The 10-year Treasury recently approached 5%, reaching its highest level since 2023. As the 10-year moves higher, mortgage rates generally move higher as well. The 30-year fixed mortgage climbed over 7%. The last time the 30-year fixed mortgage was at 7% or higher was May 26, 2025, when it reached 7.02%. That's a big deal for affordability. A buyer who could comfortably afford a $500,000 mortgage at 5.5% has a substantially different purchasing power at 7%. Higher rates can push buyers to either purchase a less expensive home, put more money down, or simply stay on the sidelines.   I don't think the current data points to a traditional housing crash. We don't have the same combination of excessive speculation, massive overbuilding, and widespread distressed selling that characterized 2008. Instead, we're seeing a housing market that is essentially frozen by affordability. The big question going forward isn't just what the Fed does. Watch the 10-year Treasury. If the 10-year moves meaningfully lower, mortgage rates could follow, and housing activity could improve. But if the 10-year stays near 5% or moves above it, don't be surprised if 30-year mortgage rates remain around 7% and housing continues to struggle. For buyers, the good news is that inventory is improving, and negotiating power is coming back. The bad news is that the cost of financing remains extremely high. Housing may finally be shifting from a seller's market toward a buyer's market, but that doesn't necessarily mean homes are getting cheaper.   How will Apple stock do under new CEO John Ternus? Apple has turned a new page in its history books with Tim Cook stepping down after 15 years at the helm. Cook did a tremendous job managing the business and growing the stock mainly by improving the supply chain to overseeing the launch of products like the Apple Watch and AirPods. During his 15-year tenure, Apple stock increased roughly 2,680%, which is a phenomenal return for investors. This reminds me of another major business story that was incredibly successful: General Electric under the leadership of Jack Welch. Welch ran GE for 20 years, from 1981 to 2001. During his tenure, GE stock increased roughly 4,000%. Yes, that was over five more years than Cook's tenure at Apple, but I doubt Apple would have produced another 1,300% return if Cook had stayed for five additional years. At the end of both CEOs' tenures, however, their companies had one major similarity: very high valuations. The comparison is a little scary. When Jack Welch left GE in 2001, the stock was trading at roughly 30 times earnings. This was during the dot-com bubble, when the S&P 500 was trading at about 36 times earnings. When Tim Cook left Apple, Apple was trading at roughly 37 times earnings, while the S&P 500 was around 29 times earnings. Those are very high valuations, especially considering we're also experiencing what could be an AI bubble. When Welch stepped down in 2001, his hand-picked successor, Jeffrey Immelt, took over. From 2001 through 2017, GE stock generated a total return of roughly -27%. Yes, investors actually lost 27% over 16 years. Apple is an incredible business with an enormous ecosystem, tremendous cash flow, and some very valuable brands. But Ternus is taking over at a time when expectations are extremely high. Apple does have some interesting things coming. The company announced a new foldable iPhone on September 9, along with an updated Siri and other AI improvements. But I personally didn't think the event was a big deal. The bigger question is whether consumers are really willing to spend around $2,000 on a new, foldable iPhone. And perhaps even more importantly, will AI actually create the upgrade cycle that Apple investors are expecting? There are also potential headwinds from significantly higher chip costs, which could push up the prices of iPhones and other Apple devices. I remember talking to people years ago about potentially selling some GE stock and diversifying. The response I often heard was, "Don't touch my GE stock." I'm hearing very similar stories about Apple today. The big question is whether history repeats itself with Apple like it did with General Electric. I don't know if it will. But I am pretty confident about one thing: Apple shareholders are very unlikely to see anything close to the returns they experienced under Tim Cook over the next 15 years.   A Fed Rate Hike Now Looks Inevitable We received two important inflation reports this past week, and my takeaway is pretty straightforward: inflation itself still doesn't look overly problematic, but there are some areas that have me concerned. The Producer Price Index showed wholesale prices increased 0.4% in August. Producer prices are now up 5.4% from a year ago, which was slightly above expectations. Then on Friday, we got the Consumer Price Index, which showed consumer prices increased 0.4% in August and are up 3.4% over the last year. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.3% for the month and 2.4% over the past year. Those numbers aren't exactly what the Fed wants to see, but I also don't think we're looking at runaway inflation. What concerns me more are two specific areas: diesel prices and the enormous AI buildout. Diesel is a major problem because it works its way through virtually every part of the economy. The national average price of diesel has now climbed above $6 a gallon for the first time ever and is up from around $3.70 this time last year. In California, diesel is now around $8 a gallon. That's not just a problem for people who drive diesel trucks. Higher diesel prices increase the cost of transporting goods, operating farm equipment, shipping products, and ultimately getting those products onto store shelves. The other issue I'm watching is the AI infrastructure buildout. We're seeing an extraordinary amount of capital being committed to data centers, chips, power generation and related infrastructure. I'm concerned that if companies continue spending at this pace, it could create further upward pressure on costs, particularly for energy, construction, memory, and financing. So, while I don't think the current inflation numbers are particularly alarming by themselves, I don't think we should ignore the inflationary pressures building underneath the surface. The market has already pushed the probability of a hike extremely high following these inflation reports and on Friday odds were close to 90%. At this point, if the Fed doesn't hike, it risks surprising the market and potentially damaging its credibility. The bigger question isn't whether they hike next week. It's what they do after that. If diesel prices continue to rise, and the AI buildout continues to put pressure on energy and other resources, the Fed may have a much harder time getting inflation back to its 2% target than the headline numbers currently suggest. Inflation isn't my biggest concern right now. It's whether inflation is stuck and how do we get it lower from here.   Financial Planning: Tax Exemption for Retired Military California military retirees may now be eligible for a valuable new state tax break. Through tax year 2029, California allows qualified taxpayers to exclude up to $20,000 of military retirement pay from California for taxable income. The provision applies to retirement pay received from the federal government for service in the uniformed services, as well as qualifying annuity payments from the Department of Defense Survivor Benefit Plan. To qualify, the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income must generally be $125,000 or less for single filers or $250,000 or less for married couples filing jointly. This is an income exclusion, not a $20,000 tax credit, meaning it reduces the amount of income subject to California tax. For someone in the 9.3% California tax bracket, the maximum potential savings is $1,860. Eligible taxpayers claim the adjustment when filing their California return, generally through Schedule CA. Income planning is especially important for military retirees because there is no phaseout, if income exceeds the applicable limit, the entire exclusion is lost.   Company Discussed: Lululemon athletica inc.

Andy and Randy bounce around to some of the bigger sports stories around Atlanta and nationwide.

TWIRx NEWS 1. Medicare Part D Paid Nearly $588 Million for Ineligible OTC Drugs   A federal audit found that Medicare Part D sponsors made approximately $587.7 million in ineligible payments from 2021 through 2023 for medications that had effectively transitioned from prescription to over-the-counter status.   The HHS Office of Inspector General cited outdated FDA information and the lack of a clear CMS rejection timeline as major contributors.   Why it matters: This exposes a serious coordination problem across FDA data, manufacturers, CMS, health plans and pharmacy claims systems.   Pharmacists may see the rejection or payment issue at the counter, but the failure often begins far upstream.   Read the Fierce Healthcare report Read the HHS-OIG audit 2. FDA Responds to Estradiol Patch Supply Pressure   The FDA is working with six manufacturers to improve access to estradiol transdermal patches amid increased demand.   While FDA has not declared a national shortage, availability varies by product, strength and geographic area. Manufacturers are increasing production through larger batches, added shifts and expanded capacity.   Why it matters: Pharmacists are again serving as the front line of a supply-chain challenge—helping patients locate medication, coordinating with prescribers and identifying alternatives.   Read the Reuters report Read the FDA update 3. New RSV and COVID-19 Guidance Released   The American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have issued updated recommendations for RSV and COVID-19 protection during the 2026–2027 respiratory season.   Why it matters: Pharmacists may face conflicting recommendations, patient confusion and questions about eligibility.   Clear counseling and coordination with pediatric and obstetric providers will be critical.   Read the Pharmacy Times report SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OUTCOMES   A special update from Megan Urban and Outcomes.   Outcomes is highlighting new enhancements to its Rx30 pharmacy management platform, including a refreshed user experience, automated data-entry capabilities and support from a dedicated Client Success Team.   The program will explore how these updates can streamline pharmacy workflows, save time and support greater focus on patient care.   Presented by: Dalia Rios and Kaley Lester September 9, 2026 — 1:30 p.m. ET   Register here FEATURED CONVERSATION Building a Bridge to GLP-1 Access   Our featured guest is HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health.   HaVy works at the intersection of pharmacy, healthcare technology, medication affordability and prescription access.   Buzz Health operates platforms including BuzzRx, RxCompare and RxAffect, with a focus on helping connect patients, pharmacies, prescribers and prescription pricing information.   That makes today's discussion particularly timely. THE MEDICARE GLP-1 BRIDGE   CMS launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge on July 1, 2026, to provide eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries access to selected GLP-1 medications for weight management.   The demonstration runs through December 31, 2027.   Eligible beneficiaries pay $50 for a monthly supply, while the program operates outside the traditional Part D payment flow through centralized prior authorization, claims adjudication and pharmacy payment.   Eligible therapies currently include:   Foundayo® Wegovy® Zepbound®   The bigger issue is not simply GLP-1 coverage.   It is how healthcare connects eligibility, affordability, prior authorization, pharmacy workflow and patient access.   The central question for today's discussion:   Can we create a medication-access system where patients know whether they can obtain and afford their therapy before they reach the pharmacy counter? CLOSING THOUGHT   The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge is more than another federal drug program.   It is a real-world test of how healthcare can better connect coverage, affordability, prior authorization and pharmacy fulfillment around high-demand therapies.   Pharmacists remain at the center of that process.   The opportunity is to use technology to move more complexity upstream—allowing pharmacists to spend less time troubleshooting prescriptions and more time caring for patients.   Our thanks to HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health, for joining us on This Week in Pharmacy.   Learn more about the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge   Learn more about Buzz Health   TWIRx — This Week in Pharmacy Pharmacy Podcast Network   Amplifying the Voice of Pharmacy.

Ken tries to duck the "top 10" format entirely and turns it into an unranked pool instead, which does not go over well. The two build out their draft eligible quarterback boards for the season, disagreeing on names like Trinidad Chambliss and Niko Iamaleava while somehow still landing Arch Manning near the top. Then Ken drops an oddly specific reason he's skeptical of one rising quarterback that has nothing to do with his play on the field. It leads to a genuinely interesting tangent about family involvement, social media, and what actually makes a quarterback room "loud."

The longer we treat menopause as something to survive quietly instead of understanding fully, the more women get left without real answers.Dr. Shepherd is an OB-GYN, and we use menopause as the entry point into a much bigger conversation — the myths still circulating about menopause and sexual health, why clinician expertise and actual hands-on experience matter more than a lot of people realize, and how insurance and the broader healthcare system quietly shape what choices women even know they have.

1046. Did your teenager earn money from a summer or part-time job? Laura answers a listener's question about two tax-advantaged savings accounts for minors: the Roth IRA and the new Trump Account. You'll learn how both accounts work and where working teens or their parents should put their hard-earned dollars first.Key Takeaways:Minors can have a custodial Roth IRA when they earn income from W-2 employment or self-employment and contribute up to $7,500 or 100% of earned income, whichever is less.A Section 530A Trump Account can be opened for kids under 18 regardless of whether they earn income, and contributions can total $5,000 annually.A Roth IRA offers tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement.A Trump Account grows tax-deferred, and once the owner turns 18, it becomes a traditional IRA, with distributions taxed (except for contributions that were previously taxed).Parents or relatives do not need to use a minor's money to fund a Roth IRA; they can match or make an eligible contribution for the minor.After age 18, doing a Roth conversion on an old Trump Account is a wise move to lock in tax-free growth forever.Eligible working minors can max out a Custodial Roth IRA up to their earnings limit and receive up to $5,000 in a Trump Account from family, friends, or employers in the same tax year.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.
