The GR5 (Grand Randonnee Cinq) is a 1400 mile/2300km trail in Europe from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, crossing The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and France. It is a part of the longer E2 European E-Route, and its most famous section is the Grandes Traversee des Alpes, which runs 400-500 miles/ 650-800km along French-Italian border on the spine of the Alps from Lake Geneva to the Med. It is one of the world's greatest trails, combining dramatic scenery, wilderness, and history and culture, yet you can complete it without camping a single night and using reasonable accommodation. Thank you to the Zero To Travel podcast and Kathy Elkind for permitting this rebroadcast.

For the first episode of Season 3, I'm talking about Enron and the company's spectacular rise and even more spectacular fall. It's a story about how creativity can sometimes mean stupidity, how culture impacts a company's survival, how hiring decisions matter, how ideas mutate, and how companies that put stock price and profits above all else can easily be the architects of their own demise. And--how blind people can be about a lot of things if what they are doing is making money. Who was responsible for Enron? What were the major causes of its bankruptcy? Who spoke up, and who listened (or didn't?) And what insurance responds when half of your executives are being criminally charged, and the shareholders and creditors are suing everyone they can think of? Join me to find out!

If the recent podcast episodes about walking didn't inspire you to take a walk this episode might. My guest and her husband decided one day to go for a walk. Ninety-eight days later they're still married, possibly more fit and have things to share about what it was like to learn to adjust and adapt along the way.  If camping isn't your thing, you'll like this too as its an inspiring way for a non-backpacker to consider an adventure.  Guest: KATHY ELKIND is a writer, long-distance walker, and speaker who shares her love of walking adventures. Along with her husband, Elkind has walked the GR5, the Andalusian Coast-to-Coast Walk in Southern Spain, and parts of the Cammino Materano in Italy. She lives with her husband and walking partner in the Mad River Valley of Vermont. To Walk It Is to See It is her first memoir. In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a grown-up “gap year” in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. At 57, Kathy has chosen comfort over hardship: Unlike the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Coast Trail, the GR5 winds from village to village instead of campsite to campsite. She and Jim get to indulge in warm beds and delicious regional food every night and croissants in the mornings. The GR5 is not all comfort. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days bring sickness, accommodation struggles, language barriers, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps. Meanwhile, Kathy finds herself reflecting on difficult topics—primarily, her struggles with dyslexia, overeating, and shame. But she also finds that the walking becomes a moving meditation and the beauty of the landscape heals; she begins to discover her own wise strength; and as the days unfold, she comes to the gratifying realization that a long marriage is like a long trail: there are ups and downs and it takes hard work to keep going, but the beauty along the way is staggering. Written with raw honesty and compassion, and rich with dazzling scenery, To Walk It Is To See It will inspire you to lace up your walking shoes and discover your own path. Questions We Answer in This Episode:  What made you decide to take on such a daunting adventure, despite being in what you describe as the “last third of your life?"  Why do you suggest older adults should consider taking a gap year? What things did your long journey bring into focus?  How did you adjust when needed or did you find reasons to change plans?  . What became important for your personal definition of eating well while on vacation (some would not call walking 1400 miles a vacation)? You open the book with a scene standing in a river naked, and many women would find the idea of standing in broad daylight even with their partner of 27 years, naked, a little precarious or embarrassing. How did the 1400-mile walk change your body esteem, if it did, or were you always so confident? I sincerely hope you've taken a walk while you listened to this one.  Connect with Kathy Elkind: Website: https://www.kathyelkind.com/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/KathyElkindauthor Instagram: www.instagram.com/kathyelkind/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kathyelkind6282 Resource:  Hot Not Bothered: http://flippingfifty.com/hnb-challenge Flippingfifty Protein:  https://www.flippingfifty.com/protein Never Be the Same - Marc Leblanc  Other Episodes You Might Like:  21 Answers to Walking Questions: https://www.flippingfifty.com/walking-tips- Benefits of Walking: https://www.flippingfifty.com/Walking Tips

I started this podcast because I wanted to celebrate people who have found their passions, and put them to use in a number of different ways. I got to sit down for the second time with Liam Elkind, and dive into his community work, specifically the creation of his organization “Invisible Hands”, a non-profit community of organizers and volunteers delivering groceries, prescriptions, and other necessities to the elderly, sick, homebound, and people with disabilities. Liam is a testament to the importance of community, of selflessness, and of determination. Today’s conversation is all about compassion and community. Whether you are walking your dog or taking a lunch break, tune in today to listen to what Finding Home is truly about.

In fact, when Darlington overhauled its daily schedule several years ago, this idea of creating more time for inquiry, exploration and ownership of learning was at the center of the process, and Hope shares why strategically balancing both structured and unstructured play creates a healthy environment for learning.  In the podcast, Hope mentions two of her favorite books on this topic: https://www.amazon.com/Play-Shapes-Brain-Imagination-Invigorates/dp/1583333789 ("Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul" by Dr. Stuart Brown) We've all seen the happiness on the face of a child while playing in the school yard. Or the blissful abandon of a golden retriever racing across a lawn. This is the joy of play. By definition, play is purposeless, all-consuming, and fun. But as Dr. Stuart Brown illustrates, play is anything but trivial. It is a biological drive as integral to our health as sleep or nutrition. We are designed by nature to flourish through play. A fascinating blend of cutting-edge neuroscience, biology, psychology, social science, and inspiring human stories of the transformative power of play, this book proves why play just might be the most important work we can ever do. https://www.amazon.com/Power-Play-Spontaneous-Imaginative-Activities/dp/0738210536 ("The Power of Play: How Spontaneous, Imaginative Activities Lead to Happier, Healthier Children" by Dr. David Elkind) In modern childhood, free, unstructured play time is being replaced more and more by academics, lessons, competitive sports, and passive, electronic entertainment. While parents may worry that their children will be at a disadvantage if they are not engaged in constant, explicit learning or using the latest "educational" games, David Elkind's "The Power of Play" reassures us that unscheduled imaginative play goes far in preparing children for academic and social success. Through expert analysis of the research and powerful situational examples, Elkind shows that, indeed, creative spontaneous activity best sets the stage for academic learning in the first place. https://www.darlingtonschool.org/Today/Details/5745565 (Click here for complete show notes >>)

On October 1, 2021 an oil pipeline that was likely struck by a cargo ship's anchor leaked tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean and onto the beaches of Orange County, CA. In this episode, examine how the oil spill happened by listening to testimony provided to both the U.S. Congress and the California State Senate, and learn about the disturbing lack of policing that is taking place under the sea.

That pipeline is in federal jurisdiction but it brings that produced oil onshore into the state waters and eventually on state lands. 21:05 Chuck Bonham: What we now know is about four and a half miles offshore, so in federal waters, there's a pipeline that runs from one platform, which is a collection of three platforms operated by a company called Beta Offshore, owned by a company called Amplify Energy. That last platform, Ellie, has a pipeline which delivers the product 17.7 miles inland, where the pipe comes on shore just below the Queen Mary more or less, to land based infrastructure. That pipe had a rupture in it. And we now know based on visual and diver and other evidentiary efforts, that about 4000 feet of that pipeline was moved about 105 feet off of center. And in that stretch is about a 13 inch horizontal, almost like a hairline fracture. If you could imagine a bone break in a pipe, which is, I think, about 13 inches in diameter, concrete on the outside and metal on the inside. That's the likely source of the leak. 22:25 Chuck Bonham: From the very beginning moments, all of us involved assumed a worse case. At that moment in time we had a planning number of a spill of about 3,134 Barrels which is 131,000 gallons rounding as a maximum worst case. 30:59 Chuck Bonham: A month later we now think the likely spill number is 24,696 gallons 41:13 Chuck Bonham: Fortunately given the size of the spill, there were not as many wildlife casualties as could have occurred during a higher migration cycle. 1:25:47 Mayor Kim Carr: So starting off on Saturday, October 2, it's been brought up that yes, we did have a very large air show happening that day. About 1.5 million people were on the beach that day to see the Pacific Air Show. And around nine o'clock that morning, there were city personnel that heard an announcement on VHF channel 16 by the Coast Guard of a possible oil spill in the area, but nothing very specific. At that time, no major details, it wasn't anything to really worry about. By 10:30 in the morning, the Coast Guard had advised us that the spill was larger than originally thought. However, we didn't have a whole lot of information as to where the location of the spill was nor of the scope of the situation. By 11 o'clock that same day, the Coast Guard had announced that it was now going to be a major spill, and that the incident management team was being activated. 1:28:00 Mayor Kim Carr: At two o'clock, the Coast Guard had advised us that the oil spill would not be reaching the shores of Huntington Beach until Monday, October 4. And again, we didn't have a whole lot of information as to where the spill was. We knew it was off our coast, but we didn't know exactly where or exactly how large the spill was. But then interestingly enough, just a half hour later, we started to receive messages that there were boats that were experiencing oil damage just outside of the air show flight box. And so that became a concern for our city. So then we activated our fire crews, our hazmat team, or the oil spill response trailer and started to do the mitigation efforts. Then this is where it gets to be very, very interesting. At 2:45 the city was notified by the Newport Beach rescue vessel that there were private contractors conducting oil spill cleanups outside of the air show flight box. 1:32:42 Mayor Kim Carr: What we could have done better, what would have been an opportunity was perhaps if the Coast Guard had some sort of awareness, the night before or when that nine o'clock notification came through, we could have been even more proactive because as I said before, every hour during these crises matters. 1:34:00 Mayor Kim Carr: The Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve was spared. The Talbert Marsh does have oil damage and again looking back, if we could have had maybe a few more hours notice, we probably could have mitigated that damage even more than what we did. 1:43:17 Brian Nowicki: Like all of you, we at the Center for Biological Diversity are heartbroken by every oil and seabird and are alarmed at the miles of marshes and coastline that will be poisoned for years by this bill. We're angry that yet again, the oil industry has proven its inability to contain its toxic pollution. The structure of pipeline funding to beach proves yet again, that every piece of fossil fuel infrastructure is yet another disaster waiting to happen. And there is a lot of that infrastructure in California. It's increasingly old, outdated in disrepair and poorly located, like the 40 year old pipeline that gave us this most recent spill, all of which makes it increasingly dangerous. Looking beyond the nine oil platforms and islands in state water, there are 23 platforms in federal waters off California. But the fact that those 23 platforms are a little farther from shore should not give us much comfort. First, because oil spills from those operations still end up in our water, our beaches and our wildlife. But also as we've heard today, further from shore also means longer stretches of aging and dangerously vulnerable infrastructure, like the 17 mile long pipeline we're discussing today are clean, reliable federal regulations to protect us from oil spills in federal waters. Federal regulators continue to prove that they are perfectly willing to allow those platforms to continue operating to the last drop of oil despite the mounting dangers of decaying infrastructure well beyond its intended lifespan, outdated drilling plans, numerous violations and insufficient bonds to pay for decommissioning. 1:45:15 Brian Nowicki: But I want to be clear that this is not a problem unique to offshore platforms. At the exact same time that 10s of thousands of gallons of oil were rolling up onto beaches and marshes in Orange County, there was an oil spill in Kern County that is now approaching 5 million gallons of fluid, a mixture of crude oil, toxic wastewater, that includes 600,000 gallons of crude. In fact, in just the last few years, there have been many oil spills in California greater than the spill off Huntington Beach. In the Cymric field alone there were three huge spills in 2019 at 550,000 gallons, 836,000 and 1.2 million gallons respectively. 159,000 in Midway in 2019, 250,000 at McKittrick in 2020. There is another ongoing spill at a separator plant in Cymric that has been leaking since 2003 and has reportedly released as much as 84 million gallons of fluid to date. Now these numbers reflect total combined volumes of crude and produced water and mud, which constitute a toxic mix. As state agencies have testified before this legislature in the past, these dangerous onshore oil operations have contaminated groundwater, land, and wildlife. 1:46:32 Brian Nowicki: After more than 150 years of the oil industry drilling at will in California, the oil is gone and the bottom of the barrel that's left is harder and more dangerous to extract. There's also some of the most carbon polluting crude in the world. With the easy stuff taken, the oil industry is in decline in California, with production down 68% since 1985. The only question is how much more damage will this dying industry do on its way out? 1:49:10 Pete Stauffer: Now with the oil deposit seen as far south as the Mexico border, there are concerns that San Diego wetlands are also being impacted. Moreover, while birds, fish and marine mammals have been the most visibly impacted, the full scale of the ecological damage will take some time to become clear. In the week since the spill event, the oil slick has transformed into an incalculable number of tar balls in the ocean, while tar balls typically float, they can also find their way into underwater sediment or near shore habitats where their impacts on ecological health and wildlife may persist for years or even decades. 1:52:51 Pete Stauffer: According to the federal government there have been at least 44 oil spills since 1969 that have each released more than 10,000 barrels of oil into US waters 2:02:36 Mayor Kim Carr: Just to give you an idea of how much TOT we do receive in Huntington Beach, we receive about $16 million a year. We don't receive anything from those offshore platforms, nothing. And as far as the drilling that we currently have here in Huntington Beach, it's less than $700,000 a year. 2:05:54 Brian Nowicki: What I can't say though, for sure is that it's going to take longer than one season to see what the full impacts are to the local wildlife. And of course, it is wetlands and marshes that often are the most difficult and take the longest to recover from the sorts of impacts. 2:21:11 Jennifer Lucchesi: In 1921, the legislature created the first tidelands oil and gas leasing program. The existing offshore leases the commission is responsible for managing today were issued over a 30 year period between 1938 and 1968. Importantly, I want to highlight a specific act in 1995. The Cunningham shell Act, which serves as a foundational law for the existing legacy oil and gas leases the commission currently manages. Importantly, this Act required the commission to issue oil and gas leases for term not based on years, but for so long as oil and gas is produced in paying quantities. Essentially, this means that Alessi can produce oil and gas pursuant to their state lease indefinitely as long as it is economic for them to do so. 2:58:13 Jennifer Lucchesi: For pipelines that are solely within state waters and under lease with the State Lands Commission, we require the pipelines to be externally and internally inspected annually. And we have engineers on staff that review those inspections and consult with the fire marshal as well with our federal partners on any type of remedial action that needs to happen based on the results of those inspections. For those pipelines that cross both federal and state waters our authority is more limited because the federal government's regulatory authority takes precedence. And PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) is the primary federal agency that regulates those interstate pipelines. They require inspections externally and internally every two years. And that's what this pipeline at issue was subjected to, the platform Elly pipeline. 03:01:20 Senator Dave Min: Let's say you have a pipe and the lease term ends. What powers do you have? What are the considerations you have to follow either statutory or contractually to renew those permits, issue a new permit? Or alternatively, do you have any leeway contractually, statutorily to end those permits prematurely and say, you know, we don't think that, you know, the upkeep is appropriate, you're violating certain provisions, we're just gonna take away your permit prematurely. Do you have any leeway like that? So I'm just trying to get a sense of your flexibility, both in issuing new right of way permits, but also yanking away existing permits. Jennifer Lucchesi: Certainly. So I can give an example of our lease compliance and enforcement actions most recently, with a pipeline that served platforms Hogan and Houchin in the Santa Barbara Channel. Those are two federal platforms in federal waters, that pipeline that served those platforms did cross into state waters and connected on shore. That pipeline lessee of ours was not compliant with our lease terms and the commission took action to terminate those leases based on non compliance and default in breach of the lease terms. And essentially, that did terminate production on those two federal platforms. And they are part of the eight federal platforms that BOEM just announced they were going to be looking at as part of a programmatic EIS for decommissioning. The Commission does not have the authority to unilaterally terminate an existing valid lease absent any evidence of a breach or non compliance SOUTHERN CA OIL LEAK: INVESTIGATING THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTS ON COMMUNITIES, BUSINESSES, AND ENVIRONMENT House Committee On Natural Resources, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and the Subcommittee October 18, 2021 Witnesses: Dr. Michael H. Ziccardi Director, Oiled Wildlife Care Network Executive Director, One Health Institute, School of Veterinary Medicine, UC Davis Scott Breneman Commercial Fishing, Retail Market, and Restaurant Owner Newport Beach, CA Vipe Desai Founding Member, Business Alliance for Protecting the Pacific Coast Dr. David L. Valentine Norris Presidential Chair, Earth Science Professor of Marine Science, UC Santa Barbara Clips 15:44 Rep. Katie Porter: As of October 10, workers had recovered 250,000 pounds of oily debris and 14 barrels full of tar balls from the Orange County shorelines. That is a small fraction, though, of the oil that was released, most of which is being distributed in the ocean, making its way into the food chain or falling to the ocean floor. Some of that oil is now heading south. And we will not learn the long term consequences on the environment for many years to come. 17:39 Rep. Katie Porter: The witnesses here with us today will reveal a different kind of subsidy for oil and gas companies, an involuntary subsidy that occurs when the community bears the costs of oil drilling's pollution. When a locally owned business like Mr Brennaman that has been in the family for four generations loses tens of thousands of dollars because of the leak. That's his subsidies to oil and gas. When a hotel loses its bookings overnight. That's its subsidy for oil and gas. When the fragile decades-long effort to recover a species under the Endangered Species Act is finally showing progress, but an oil spill puts it all at risk. That's a cost of oil and gas to these subsidies and so many others are the reasons that oil wells like the ones behind this leak are still active. Getting rid of the subsidies is the first step to get rid of the problem. 27:52 Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA): We know that the spill was not reported by the responsible oil company until the next day, despite the company's knowledge. We also know that Orange County residents recognize that there was a problem in part due to the smell caused by this bill and actually reported it before the oil company did so, clearly something wrong with that. 28:35 Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA): In my congressional district, which is just the south of here, the spill shutdown businesses and beaches in Dana Point in San Clemente. Tarballs that are likely caused by the spill have also been found as far south in my district as Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas and Del Mar in San Diego County. 29:03 Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA): It'll come as no surprise that more than $2 billion in wages and $4 billion in gross domestic product are generated by Orange County's ocean and marine economy, including tourism. So we have a lot to lose every time there's a spill, not just to our beaches but to our economy. 39:30 Dr. Michael H. Ziccardi: In Birds, the primary issue we are concerned mostly about are the acute effects due to hypothermia. If you think of feathers almost as a dry suit in animals, if oil gets on that dry suit, it creates a hole that allows cold water to seep next to the skin. Birds can get very cold in the environment and start to waste away, they have to come ashore to stay warm, but they can no longer eat. So these birds actually can waste away in a matter of days unless proactive capture occurs. There can also be chronic effects in animals as well due to printing of oil off of the feathers or ingestion in their food items. Those chronic effects can include, in essence, effects on every organ system in an animal's body from reproductive effects liver, kidney, respiratory tracts, depending on the dose and the exposure and the toxin itself. 42:50 Scott Breneman: We were fishing on Friday, October 1, and we were coming in the harbor and I detected a distinct odor of oil and it was about midnight we're heading in. Kind of search around the boat. I thought maybe it was a spill on the boat or a hose broke. I went in the engine room, searched all the hatches where I keep all my extra fluids and everything, didn't find anything. Come the next day the press released that there was an actual oil spill, and my fish sales and my fish market, once that was released, they dropped drastically down, 90% this past few weeks since it was released. I've seen the same effect -- my family's been fishing for four generations and in the 90s my dad went through the oil spill that was off Seal Beach, in our fish market, the same exact response from the public scared, worried the products contaminated. A huge ripple effect all the way up to the wholesalers I deal with outside of Orange County there. They had concerns from their customers, their restaurants. And to rebuild that business when it happened in the 90s, I watched my dad struggle for months to get back to back to where it was and it's...I'm seeing the same exact thing happen here. A couple of days after the oil spill they had closed Newport Harbor. And so my boat was actually trapped inside of the harbor so I wasn't even able to go service my accounts. And it's just been, to tell you the truth, a very difficult couple of weeks and I'm not sure how long this is going to last. I'm not sure how the public's going to respond to it long term if there's still going to have some fear that the fish is contaminated. 46:20 Vipe Desai: In fact between 2007 and 2018 there were over 7000 oil spills in federal waters, an average of about two every day. 46:50 Vipe Desai: The first impact came from the much anticipated Pacific Air Show. As oil began to wash ashore, beaches were deemed unsafe for activity. On Saturday October 2nd, 1.5 million visitors saw the show from Huntington Beach, but the show's triumphant conclusion on Sunday was cancelled with little fanfare. Cancellations hit hotels and resorts almost immediately and their surrounding retail and restaurants suffered. Wing Lam, co-founder of Wahoo's Fish tacos, informed me that the Saturday before the oil spill felt like a busy summer day. But the following day, once word got out about the spill, it was a ghost town. In addition, as the spill moved south, their locations in Laguna Beach and San Clemente started to feel the impacts. Bobby Abdel, owner of Jack's Surfboards, had a similarly bleak weekend. He told me that once the oil spill was announced customer traffic plummeted. Their stores are facing a stockpile of unsold inventory from the US Open of Surfing and the Pacific Air Show. All nine of Jack's Surfboards locations were impacted in some form or another because of the spill. Later in the week, I received a call from a colleague, Wendy Marshall, a full time hard working mother of two who shared with me that her upcoming Airbnb reservations, a form of income to help her offset college tuition costs for her children, had mostly been cancelled. From Dana Point though dolphin and whale capital of the world and the first whale Heritage Site in the Americas. Giselle Anderson from local business Captain Dave's Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari shared losses from trips and bookings into November could be down as much as 74% because of the oil spill. 52:15 Dr. David L. Valentine: I want to invoke my privilege as a university professor to start with a little bit of a history lesson. Many people think that the largest spill in US history occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. This is not correct. The largest spill in US history occurred in California. It was not the October 2021 spill that we're here to talk about today. Nor was it the 2015 refugio beach pipeline rupture on the gaviota coast. It was not the 2007 Cosco, Busan spill and San Francisco Bay. And it was not the 1997 platform Irene pipeline rupture of Annenberg Air Force Base. It was not the 1990 American traders spill off the coast of Huntington Beach. It was not the 1969 platform, an oil spill off of Santa Barbara, the one that helped spawn the environmental movement. Nor was it the sinking of the SS Montebello, an oil freighter that was hit by a Japanese torpedo off the coast of Cambria and World War Two. It was called the Lakeview Gusher. It occurred in Kern County, and it's estimated to have released around 380 million gallons of oil over an 18 month period starting in 1910. And I tell you this bit of California history because it punctuates five important points. First, oil production carries inherent risk. Second, California has suffered more than its fair share of spills. Third, the size of a spill is only one factor in determining its impact. Fourth, responsiveness and context matter. And fifth, every spill is different and that includes the impacts. 54:24 Dr. David L. Valentine: For the current spill, I have honed in on three key modes of exposure that concern me most: floating oil slicks that can impact organisms living at or near the sea surface, coastline areas such as wetlands where oil can accumulate and persist, and the sea floor, where oil can easily hide from view but may still pose longer term risks. Among these three, the fate of impacts of submerged oil is especially relevant to California, is the least well understood, and requires additional research effort. 59:40 Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA): So recently I asked the Department of Interior about the specific kinds of subsidies that Beta Operating received. Beta is a subsidiary of Amplify Energy, and that's the company that owns the platforms and the pipelines that leaked off our coast. It turns out that they got nearly $20 million from the federal government, specifically because the oil wells are at the end of their lives and are not producing much oil, which makes them less profitable. So taxpayers are being asked to pay to encourage oil production in the Pacific Ocean by giving oil companies millions of dollars to do it. 1:00:39 Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA): Beta operating is in line to get another $11 million to drill for new wells off the coast because that $11 million is needed, in their words, “to make production economic.” So taxpayers are being asked to pay Beta to drill new wells. That means wells that would otherwise not be drilled without our taxpayer subsidy. 01:02:52 Dr. Michael H. Ziccardi: What we have found, during and after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, is that dolphins can be significantly impacted by oil, primarily through inhalation of the fumes at the surface and ingestion of the oil substances themselves. What we found is that it affects their immune system, it affects their reproductive tract, and it affects their gastrointestinal tract, so very significant changes. And that's information that is just now starting to come out in the publications from the Deepwater Horizon incident. 1:06:51 Vipe Desai: Had this oil spill moved north, it would have impacted two of the busiest ports in the nation, which account for billions of dollars of goods flowing in and out of both ports of LA and Long Beach. And that would have had an even larger impact to other communities across the US. 1:08:21 Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA): The annual oil production off the coast of California is about 1/3 of what our nation produces in a single day. So it really is a drop in the bucket when you consider the overwhelming potential for economic damage for environmental damage, the risks simply aren't worth it. 1:09:34 Vipe Desai: California's ocean economy generates $54.3 billion in revenue and supports 654,000 jobs. 1:25:15 Dr. David L. Valentine: In Orange County, the areas that I would look at most closely as being especially vulnerable on the environmental side would be the wetland environments. Places like Talbert Marsh where oil can surge in with the tide. And it can get trapped in those environments and it can get stuck and it won't come back out when the tide recedes. Those are especially vulnerable because they're these rich, diverse ecosystems. They provide a whole host of different services, whether it's flyways, or fisheries, or in keeping the nutrient levels moderated in coastal waters. And that oil can stick there and it can have a long term impact. And furthermore, cleanup in those cases can be very difficult because getting into a marsh and trying to clean it up manually can cause as much damage as oil can cause. 1:26:24 Dr. David L. Valentine: And then the other environment that I worry a lot about is the environment we can't see, that is what's going on under the surface of the ocean. And in that case, we can have oil that comes ashore and then gets pulled back offshore but is now denser because it's accumulated sand and other mineral matter. And that can be sticking around in the coastal ocean. We don't really understand how much of that there is or exactly where it goes. And that concerns me. 1:29:18 Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA): But Dr. Valentine, how concerned Do you think California should be that companies that own the offshore platforms, wells and pipelines might go bankrupt and pass decommissioning costs on to taxpayers? Dr. David L. Valentine: I think that we need to be very concerned. And this is not just a hypothetical, this is already happening. There are two instances that I can tell you about that I've been involved with personally. The first stems from the pipeline 901 rupture, also known as the Refugio, a big oil spill that happened in 2015. When that pipeline ruptured, it prevented oil from being further produced from platform Holley, off the coast of Santa Barbara just a few miles from my home. That platform when it was completely shut in, all 30 wells, was unable to produce any oil and the company, a small operator, went bankrupt. And then shortly thereafter, they went bankrupt again. And this time, they just gave up and they did something called quit claiming their lease back to the state of California. Meaning that the plugin abandonment and property commissioning fell into the lap of the State of California in that case, and that is an ongoing, ongoing saga. The second example I would give you is in Summerland. In 1896, the first offshore oil wells in this country were drilled from piers in Summerland. Those have been leaking over the years. And as recently as last year, there were three leaky oil wells coming up in Summerland. The state of California has found money to try alternative plug in abandonment strategies because anything traditional is not going to work on something that is 125 some odd years old. So that would be the second example where this is now falling into the taxpayers lap yet again. IMPACTS OF ABANDONED OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE NEED FOR STRONGER FEDERAL OVERSIGHT House Committee on Natural Resources: Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources.

Pete Stauber (R-MN): I can certainly provide a summary of things that will help keep energy prices down: issue onshore and offshore lease sales; reinstate the Presidential permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline; renew our commitment to exporting American energy, instead of importing foreign energy; reform a broken permitting process; and stop burdening domestic producers. 16:08 Dr. Donald Boesch: Oil and gas production from wells in less than 1000 feet of water declined as fuels discovered in the 80s and even earlier were depleted. Crude oil production in these relatively shallow waters declined by over 90% both in the Gulf and and in Southern California. Natural gas production in the OCS, which mainly came from the shallow water wells, declined by 80%. Offshore fossil energy production is now dominated in the deep water off the Gulf of Mexico, up to 7500 feet deep. Deepwater production grew by 38% just over the last 10 years since the Deepwater Horizon disaster. 17:05 Dr. Donald Boesch: Since the lifting of the crude oil export ban in 2016, last year there was 78% more crude oil exported from Gulf terminals, exported overseas, than actually produced in the US OCS and three times as much natural gas exported, than produced offshore. 18:06 Dr. Donald Boesch: So, the depletion of shallow water gas has left this legacy of old wells and declining resources and the infrastructure requires decommissioning and removal. Much of this infrastructure is not operated by the original leaseholders, but by smaller companies with lesser assets and technical and operational capacity. 18:40 Dr. Donald Boesch: Off Southern California there are 23 platforms in federal waters, eight of which are soon facing decommissioning. In the Gulf, on the other hand, there are 18,162 platforms and about 1000 of them will probably be decommissioned within this decade. 19:46 Dr. Donald Boesch: According to the GAO, as you pointed out, there are 600 miles of active pipelines in federal waters of the Gulf, and 18,000 miles of abandoned plant pipelines. The GAO found the Department of the Interior lacks a robust process for addressing the environmental and safety risk and ensuring clean up and burial standards are met. And also monitoring the long term fate of these, these pipelines. 20:54 Dr. Donald Boesch: At recent rates of production of oil and gas, the Gulf's crude oil oil reserves will be exhausted in only six or seven years. That is the proven reserves. Even with the undiscovered and economically recoverable oil that BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management) estimates in the central and western Gulf, we would run out of oil about mid century. So unless some miracle allows us to capture all of the greenhouse gases that would be released, we really can't do that and achieve net zero emissions, whether it be by resource depletion, governmental or corporate policy, or investor and stockholder decisions. Offshore oil and gas production is likely to see it see a steep decline. So the greenhouse gas emissions pathway that we follow and how we deal with the legacy and remaining infrastructure will both play out over the next decade or two. 25:16 Dr. Greg Stuntz: In fact, these decades old structures hold tremendous amounts of fish biomass and our major economic drivers. A central question is, how do these structures perform in relation to mother nature or natural habitat and I'm pleased to report that in every parameter we use to measure that success. These artificial reefs produce at least as well are often better than the natural habitat. We observe higher densities of fish, faster growth and even similar output. Thus, by all measures, these data show artificial reefs are functioning at least equivalent on a per capita basis to enhance our marine resources. 28:54 Rob Schuwerk: When a company installs a platform and drills well, it creates an ARO, an obligation to reclaim that infrastructure when production ends. This costs money. But companies aren't required to get financial assurance for the full estimated costs today. Money to plug in active wells today comes from cash flows from oil and gas production. But what happens when that stops? The International Energy Agency sees peak oil and gas demand as early as 2025. This will make it harder to pay for decommissioning from future cash flows. Decommissioning is costly. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) data indicate that offshore AROs could range from $35 to over $50 billion while financial assurance requirements are about $3.47 billion. That is less than 10% of expected liability. The GAO believes these figures may actually underestimate the true costs of retiring the remaining deepwater infrastructure. 30:05 Rob Schuwerk: Only about a third of the unplug wells in the Gulf of Mexico have shown any production in the last 12 months. Why haven't the other two thirds already been retired? Because of uncertainty as to when to close and poor incentives. Infrastructure should be decommissioned when it's no longer useful. But the regulator has difficulty making that determination. This uncertainty explains why BSEE waits five years after a well becomes inactive to deem it no longer useful for operations with years more allowed for decommissioning. These delays increase the risk that operators will become unable to pay or simply disappear. We've seen this already with a variety of companies including Amplify Energy's predecessor Beta Dinoco off California and Fieldwood recently with Mexico. 30:55 Rob Schuwerk: There's also a problem of misaligned economic incentives. As it is virtually costless to keep wells unplugged, companies have no incentive to timely plug them. AROs are like an unsecured, interest free balloon loan from the government with no date of maturity. There's little incentive to save for repayment because operators bear no carrying cost and no risk in the case of default. If the ARO loan carried interest payments commensurate with the underlying non performance risk, producers would be incentivized to decommission non economic assets. The solution is simple, require financial assurance equivalent to the full cost of carrying out all decommissioning obligations. This could take the form of a surety bond, a sinking fund or some other form of restricted cash equivalent. If wells are still economic to operate, considering the carrying cost of financial assurance, the operator will continue production, if not they'll plug. In either case, the public is protected from these costs. 32:11 Rob Schuwerk: A key risk here is operator bankruptcy that causes liabilities to be passed on to others. And we could see this in the recent Fieldwood bankruptcy. Fieldwood was formed in 2012 and in 2013 acquired shallow water properties from Apache Corporation. It went through chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2018, and then undeterred, acquired additional deepwater platforms from Noble Energy. Fieldwood returned to bankruptcy in 2020. It characterized the decommissioning costs it shared with Apache as among the company's most significant liabilities. The bankruptcy plan created new companies to receive and decommission certain idle offshore assets. If they failed, prior operators and lessors would have to pay. Several large oil and gas companies objected to this proposal. They were concerned that if Fieldwood couldn't pay they would. Ultimately the plan was proved. The case illustrates a few key dynamics. First, if bankrupt companies cannot pay, others, including taxpayers, will. How much of the possibly $50 billion in offshore decommissioning liability is held by companies that are only a dragged anchor, a hurricane a leaking pipeline or oil price shock away from default? And second, as detailed in my written testimony, private companies who face liability risks understand them better than the government does. When they transfer wells, they demand financial protections that are in fact greater than what the government requires today. 36:02 Jacqueline Savitz: Supplemental bonds are necessary to protect taxpayers from the risk of spills but BOEM is overusing the waiver provisions that allow a financial strength test to waive requirements for supplemental bonds. BOEM regulations require that lessees furnish a relatively small general bond and while BOEM has discretion to acquire supplemental bonds, it generally waives those. General bonds that lessees are required to furnish don't come close to covering the cost of decommissioning and haven't been updated since 1993. Since that year, the cost of decommissioning has gone up in part because development has moved into deeper waters, only about 10% of offshore oil production in the Gulf was in deepwater in 1993. But by 2014, that figure rose to 80%. Regulations need to be updated to ensure the federal government and taxpayers are not left picking up the tab on decommissioning. According to GAO, only 8% of decommissioning liabilities in the Gulf of Mexico were covered by bonds or other financial assurance mechanisms, with the other 92% waived or simply unaccounted for. 38:06 Jacqueline Savitz: BSEE does not conduct oversight over decommissioning activities underway and it does not inspect decommissioned pipelines so the Bureau can't ensure that the industry has complied with required environmental mitigation. 38:17 Jacqueline Savitz: Leak detection technologies that the oil and gas industry touts as safer have not been proven to prevent major leaks. All pipelines in the Pacific region are reportedly equipped with advanced leak detection equipment. Though two weeks ago we saw exactly what can happen even with the so-called “Best Technology.” 42:00 Dr. Donald Boesch: In Hurricane Ida, all of a sudden appeared an oil slick, and it lasted for several days. And apparently it was traced to an abandoned pipeline that had not been fully cleared of all the residual oil in it so that all that oil leaked out during that incident. 47:59 Dr. Donald Boesch: One of the challenges though, is that this older infrastructure is not operating in the same standards and with the same capacity of those of the major oil companies that have to do that. So for example, when I noted that they detected this methane being leaked, they didn't detect it from the new offshore deepwater platforms which have all the right technology. It's in the older infrastructure that they're seeing. 54:14 Rob Schuwerk: There's actually one thing that exists offshore, joint and several liability, that only exists in certain jurisdictions onshore. So in some ways the situation onshore is worse. Because in some states like California you can go after prior operators if the current operator cannot pay, but in many jurisdictions you cannot. And our research has found that there is about $280 billion in onshore liability, and somewhere around 1% of that is covered by financial assurance bonds so, there is definitely an issue onshore rather than offshore. 55:04 Rob Schuwerk: The issue is just really giving them a financial incentive to be able to decommission. And that means they have to confront the cost of decommissioning and internalize that into their decision on whether continuing to produce from a well is economic or not. And so that means they need to have some kind of financial insurance in place that represents the actual cost. That could be a surety bond where they go to an insurer that acts as a guarantor for that amount. It could be a sinking fund, like we have in the context of nuclear where they go start putting money aside at the beginning, and it grows over time to be sufficient to plug the well at the end of its useful life. And there could be other forms of restricted cash that they maintain on the balance sheet for the benefit of these liabilities. 1:15:38 Jacqueline Savitz: Remember, there is no shortage of offshore oil and gas opportunity for the oil industry. The oil industry is sitting on so many, nearly 8.5 million acres of unused or non producing leases, 75% of the total lease acreage in public waters. They're sitting on it and not using it. So even if we ended all new leasing, it would not end offshore production. 1:22:35 Rob Schuwerk: Typically what we'll see as well to do companies will transfer these assets into other entities that have less financial means and wherewithal to actually conduct the cleanup. Rep. Katie Porter: So they're moving once they've taken the money, they've made the profit, then they're giving away they're basically transferring away the unprofitable, difficult, expensive part of this, which is the decommissioning portion. And they're transferring that. Are they transferring that to big healthy companies? Rob Schuwerk: No, often they're transferring it to companies that didn't exist even just prior to the transfer. Rep. Katie Porter: You mean a shell company? Rob Schuwerk: Yes. Rep. Katie Porter: Like an entity created just for the purpose of pushing off the cost of doing business so that you don't have to pay it even though you've got all the upside. Are you saying that this is what oil and gas companies do? Rob Schuwerk: We've seen this, yes. Rep. Katie Porter: And how does the law facilitate this? Rob Schuwerk: Well, I suppose on a couple of levels. On the one hand, there's very little oversight of the transfer. And so there's very little restriction from a regulatory standpoint, this is true, offshore and also onshore. So we see this behavior in both places. And then secondary to that there are actions that companies can take in bankruptcy that can effectively pass these liabilities on to taxpayers eventually and so some of it is to be able to use that event, the new company goes bankrupt. 1:25:01 Rob Schuwerk: Certainly no private actor would do what the federal government does, which is not have a security for these risks. MISUSE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND CORPORATE WELFARE IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY House Committee on Natural Resources: Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations May 19, 2021 Witnesses: Laura Zachary Co-Director, Apogee Economics & Policy Tim Stretton Policy Analyst, Project on Government Oversight (POGO) Clips 27:10 Laura Zachary: There have long been calls for fiscal reforms to the federal oil and gas program. Compared to how states managed oil and gas leasing, the federal government forgoes at least a third of the revenue that could have been captured for taxpayers 27:25 Laura Zachary: On January 27 of this year, the Biden administration signed Executive Order 14008 that pauses issuing new federal oil and gas leases. And importantly, the language implies a temporary pause, only on issuing new leases, not on issuing drilling permits. This is a critical distinction for what the impacts of a pause could be. Very importantly, federal permitting data confirms that to date, there has been no pause on issuing drilling permits for both onshore and offshore. And in fact, since the pause began, Department of Interior has approved drilling permits at rates in line with past administrations. 37:08 Tim Stretton: Because taxpayers own resources such as oil and gas that are extracted from public lands, the government is legally required to collect royalties for the resources produced from leases on these lands. Project on Government Oversight's investigations into the federal government's oversight of the oil, gas and mining industries have uncovered widespread corruption that allows industry to cheat U.S. taxpayers out of billions of dollars worth of potential income. Given the amount of money at stake and the oil and gas industry's history of deliberately concealing the value of the resources they've extracted with the intent of underpaying royalties, the government should be particularly vigilant in ensuring companies pay their fair share for the resources they extract. 46:28 Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR): We are here today for the majority's attempt, which I believe is more of a publicity stunt to criticize the oil and gas industry than to talk about real facts and data. The playbook is a simple one: recycled talking points to vilify the industry and to paint a distorted picture of so-called good versus evil. I'm sure that we'll hear more about corporate subsidies that aren't. We'll hear about unfair royalty rates that aren't and we'll hear many other meme worthy talking points that fail the logic test. 47:35_ Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR): What we're -really talking about today is an industry that provides reliable and affordable energy to our nation. This isan industry that contributes to almost 10 million jobs and plays a vital role in our daily lives. In fact, we cannot conduct virtual hearings like this without the fossil fuel industry. And of course, when myself and my colleagues travel to Washington, DC, we rely on this industry to fly or to drive here. 49:33 Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR): But they ignore the real world consequences of demonizing this industry. The results are devastating job loss and the loss of public education funding to name just a few. 54:05 Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN): I also had a roundtable discussion and learned how New Mexico schools received nearly $1.4 billion in funding from oil and gas just last year. 55:08 Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA): Mr. Stretton, how long has your organization been conducting oversight of oil and gas production on federal lands? Tim Stretton: For decades, I mean, we started doing this work in the early 90s. And actually, some of our earliest work in the space was uncovering in excess of a billion dollars in unpaid royalties to your home state of California. Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA): And you mentioned, what are some of the patterns? You've been doing this for decades? What are some of the patterns that you observe over time? Tim Stretton: The oil and gas industry working with each other to really undervalue the resources they were selling, fraudulently telling the government the value of those resources, which left billions of dollars in unpaid revenue going to the federal government. 1:01:09 Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ): There are some people who have made environmentalism a religion. Rather than focus on solutions that can make lives better for people, some would prefer to vilify an industry that provides immeasurable benefits to people's livelihood in the function of modern day society. 1:04:21 Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ): The other side looks at globalism, you know this environmental movement globally. So it makes more sense to me at least and folks I come from that we produce it cleaner more efficiently than anybody else in the world. And so that geopolitical application, if you're an environmentalist, you would want more American clean oil and gas out there versus Russian dirty or Chinese dirty gas. 02:37:23 Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT): In January state education superintendents in Wyoming, Miami, North Dakota, Alaska, and Utah submitted a letter to President Biden outlining their concerns with the administration's oil and gas ban which has reduced funding used to educate our rising generation. 02:43:35 Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM): I'm glad to be able to highlight the true success story of the oil and gas industry in my home state of New Mexico. To put it simply, the oil and gas industry is the economic backbone of New Mexico and has been for decades. The industry employs 134,000 People statewide and provides over a billion dollars each year to fund our public education. 02:44:30 Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM): Many of my Democratic colleagues have stated that green energy jobs can replace the loss of traditional energy jobs, like the 134,000 Oil and Gas jobs in my state. Many also say that we need to be transitioning to a completely carbon free energy grid. Can you tell me and the committee why both of those ideas are completely fantasy?

  As Covid crashed into our collective experience in March of 2020, Liam Elkind was just 20 years old. Home from Yale University, he watched in bewilderment as New York City, for the second time in his life, became Ground Zero for our nation's calamity. A life-long New Yorker, Liam had been taught to run toward crisis.  Liam and two of his friends saw that there was a population of vulnerable people for whom it was not safe or possible to go out get the food, medicine,  and supplies they needed. And they saw other people like themselves, people who weren't content to just sit on their sofas while the medical community fought this battle on their own. So, in a matter of a few hours, they put together a website and a few flyers asking for healthy volunteer to bring food, medical supplies, and other necessities to the most vulnerable. As their call went viral over the next 72 hours, with people like Blake Lively and Bernie Sanders sharing their initiative, they faced a decision: Would they (could they?) scale this thing to really meet the need out there? Liam's answer to that question and his approach to building Invisible Hands Deliver is inspiring, informative, and wise far beyond his years.

In the spring of 2018, at the age of 57, Kathy Elkind walked the Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) with her husband of 27 years. The 2,286K (1,400-mile) journey starts at the North Sea in The Netherlands and goes through Belgium, Luxembourg, and the whole length of France through the Alps to end at the warm Mediterranean in Nice.   Kathy always longed for an epic adventure, but the time was never right.    Finally, her children had flown the nest, and she had shifted from a fertile body to a not fertile body – What could this new body do?    It was the perfect time for a quest: to pause, reflect and explore. Could her marriage sustain and thrive on a long walk?   After two months on the GR5, they entered the mighty Alps—five weeks of alpine views, mountain refuges, and exertion. Her walking became more than meditative; she fell into an ethereal pace where she became the air and the landscape. In her own words: “Life was not about me. It was about the beauty of the world. This truth was what I had longed for but did not know.”   At home, she stepped into the last third of her Life, more in love with her husband, accepting the unknown, knowing her power, and brave enough to write a book one step at a time (she has dyslexia and did not learn to read until I was in 7th grade).   Kathy has come to believe it's necessary for women entering the last third of their life to experience a quest or challenge. It can be anything they love – going to 25 art museums, swimming or dancing 50 days in a row. There is a unique challenge for every woman.   Kathy is an Eating Psychology Coach, a Teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion, and owner of Elkind Nourishment.    Kathy helps women feel their emotions instead of eating their emotions and feel comfortable in their bodies. She is writing a memoir about her adventure.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.

And Associate Editor, Director of the Pauley Heart Center, VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Greg, we're starting off the month with double features, and these are just so interesting. The first paper talks about psychological interventions for depression and anxiety in cardiac rehabilitation. And the next talks about ideal cardiovascular health and its change during young adulthood and how that relates to premature cardiovascular events. Cool, huh? Dr. Greg Hundley: Absolutely. Well, Carolyn. How about we grab a cup of coffee and start discussing some of the other articles in the issue? And I could go first. Carolyn, the first article that I've got is from Mrs. Elizabeth Jordan from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. And it really pertains to cardiomyopathies. And remember, Carolyn, classically, we categorize hypertrophic, dilated, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. And each has a signature genetic theme. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ARVC are largely understood as genetic diseases of sarcomere or desmosome proteins. But in contrast, there are over 250 genes spanning more than 10 gene ontologies that have been implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. And therefore, it really represents a very complex and diverse genetic architecture. So to clarify this, a systematic curation of evidence to establish the relationship of genes with dilated cardiomyopathy was conducted by an international panel with clinical and scientific expertise in dilated cardiomyopathy genetics. And they evaluated evidence supporting monogenic relationships of genes with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, wow. That sounds like a lot of work. And what did they find, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So in the curation of 51 genes, 19 had high evidence. 12 are definitive strong, and seven moderate. And notably, these 19 genes only explain the minority of cases, leaving the remainder of dilated cardiomyopathy genetic architecture really incompletely addressed. And clinical genetic testing panels include most high evidence genes. However also, the panel noted that genes lacking robust evidence are very commonly observed clinically. Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, the take home message from this international panel is that while dilated cardiomyopathy genetic testing panels include an average of about 60 genes, when curating published evidence for dilated cardiomyopathy, only 19 have really emerged as high levels of evidence. And then in this study, 51 genes were evaluated. And the 19 genes appraised as high evidence were recommended to be routinely used in the genetic evaluation of dilated cardiomyopathy. And one more point. Rare variants from genes without moderate, strong, or definitive evidence should not be used in clinical practice to predict dilated cardiomyopathy risk most importantly when also you're screening at risk family members. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. Very nice. Stunning numbers. Well, my paper is identifying a novel therapeutic target in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Do you want to know what that is? Dr. Greg Hundley: Ah, yes, Carolyn. Very interesting. So what is it? Dr. Carolyn Lam: It's switch-independent 3A. Which is an epigenetic modifier, which is drastically down-regulated in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients and rodent models of pulmonary arterial hypertension. And strongly associated with decreased bone morphogenic protein receptor type two, or BMPR2 expression. So this switch-independent 3A overexpression up-regulated BMPR2 expression by modulating critical epigenetic pathways and decreasing a specific transcription factor binding to the BMPR2 promoter in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, aerosolized lung-targeted gene transfer of adeno-associated virus zero type one and containing switch-independent 3A reversed and prevented pulmonary arterial hypertension phenotype in preclinical animal models. So this beautiful study, from Dr. Hadri from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and colleagues, really suggests that switch-independent 3A can be a clinically relevant molecule for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn. Really nice. Very intricate science for the study of pulmonary hypertension. Well, my next paper actually comes to us from Dr. Joe Hill and colleagues at UT Southwestern Medical Center. And Carolyn, as we know, cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for heart failure. Of course, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. And the calcineurin NFAT, or nuclear factor of activated T-cells pathway, and the MAP kinase ERK, or extra cellular signal regulated kinase pathway, contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy as an interdependent network of signaling cascades. However, Carolyn, how these pathways interact really remains unclear. And so Dr. Hill and colleagues engineered a cardiomyocyte-specific ETS2, a member of the E26 transformation specific sequence or ETS domain family knockout mouse, and investigated the role of ETS2 in cardiac hypertrophy. Primary cardiomyocytes were also used to evaluate ETS2 function in cell growth. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. Okay. So what were the results, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. Three main findings. First, ETS2 is activated by ERK1/2, or extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, in both hypertrophied murine hearts and in human dilated cardiomyopathy. Second, ETS2 is required for both pressure overload, and calcineurin induced cardiac hypertrophy responses involving signaling cascades distinct from, but interdependent with ERK1/2 signaling. And third, this group discovered that ETS2 synergizes with NFAT to transactivate RCAN1-4, an established downstream target of NFAT, or nuclear factor of activated T-cells. And they identified an MIR-223 as a novel transcriptional target of NFAT ETS2 in cardiomyocytes. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. Wow. That sounds like a lot of detailed work. Could you tell us what the clinical implications are, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: You bet, Carolyn. So in aggregate, these findings unveil a previously unrecognized molecular interaction between two conical hypertrophic signaling pathways, MAP kinase-driven hypertrophy, and calcineurin driven hypertrophy. And therefore, as pathological cardiac hypertrophy is an established risk factor for heart failure development, this unveiling of novel signaling mechanisms really is of potential clinical relevance. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thanks, Greg. Well, let's round up with what else there is in this week's issue. There's a Frontiers paper by Dr. Chris Granger. And it's a big call to action to the cardiology community, to incorporate SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists for cardiovascular and kidney disease risk reduction. There's a Joint Opinion piece from the American Heart Association, World Heart Federation, American College of Cardiology, and European Society of Cardiology on, “The Tobacco Endgame: Eradicating a Worsening Epidemic,” by Dr. Elkind. Dr. Greg Hundley: Oh great, Carolyn. Well, I've got an On My Mind piece from Professor Bhatt. And it's entitled, “Does SGLT1 inhibition Add Benefit to SGLT2 Inhibition in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?” And next, Dr. Viskin has an ECG Challenge entitled, “Long QT Syndrome and Torsade de Pointes Ultimately Treated With Quinidine, The Concept of Pseudo Torsade de Pointes.” And then finally, there's a Letter to the Editor by Dr. Lu regarding the article, “Association of Body Mass Index and Age with Morbidity and Mortality in Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19, Results from the American Heart Association COVID-19 Cardiovascular Disease Registry.” Well, Carolyn, I can't wait to get on to this double feature. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Me too. Let's go. Dr. Greg Hundley: Welcome, listeners, to our feature discussion today. And again, we're going to create today a forum, because we have two very interesting papers to present during this timeframe. Our first is going to come to us from Dr. Adrian Wells from University of Manchester. And our second paper will come to us from Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim from Yonsei University. I want to welcome you both, gentlemen. And Adrian, I would like to start with you. Tell us a little bit about the background related to your study. And then what was the hypothesis that you wanted to address? Dr. Adrian Wells: Okay, well thank you for inviting me to take part in this podcast. Following cardiac events, around one in three individuals will develop significant anxiety and depression symptoms. And we know that anxiety and depression can have an impact on prognosis, quality of life, future outcomes. Psychological treatment isn't routinely offered in cardiac rehabilitation for anxiety and depression, despite the fact that we identified that many of our patients felt that they would benefit from a psychological intervention to address these issues. And they felt that their needs were not really being met. So our primary question was, can we improve psychological outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease? Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And Adrian, what was your study population? And also, what was your study design? Dr. Adrian Wells: So we selected patients who entered cardiac rehabilitation in the UK. So these are patients with acute coronary syndrome, revascularization, stable heart failure, heart transplantation, and so on. And so, a wide group of individuals. We recruited 332 patients, all of whom had had anxiety and depression scores of eight or more. So these were people showing mild to severe levels of psychological distress. We conducted a two arm single blind randomized controlled trial, with 332 patients who were randomly allocated to one of these two conditions. And we assessed anxiety and depression symptoms before treatment at four months and at 12 months. Dr. Greg Hundley: Describe a little bit some of the specifics of your intervention. And then what did you find? Dr. Adrian Wells: We use relatively recent new treatment called metacognitive therapy. And this was delivered in a group format over six sessions. And we trained cardiac rehabilitation staff, nurse consultants, physiotherapists, in the delivery of this intervention. Metacognitive therapy works on helping patients discover unhelpful patterns of thinking, such as worrying and ruminating ,and excessive threat monitoring. And to reduce those patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, and poor adaptation following stressful life experiences. Dr. Greg Hundley: And what did you find? Dr. Adrian Wells: Well, what we found was that the addition of metacognitive therapy to treatment to usual cardiac rehabilitation, significantly improved outcomes at four months and 12 months. What was striking about this was that our effect sizes were modest and moderate to large. They seem to be larger than those obtained in other studies or psychological treatments. And of note, the treatment seemed to impact well on both anxiety and depression symptoms. Whereas other types of intervention evaluated in the past have tended to treat the depression, but not so much the anxiety. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very good. So it sounds like a group-based intervention. And I'm assuming maybe participants interacted not only with your staff, but with one another. How would you put your results really in the context with other research that's going on in this space? Dr. Adrian Wells: Well, there have been a number of studies in the past that have looked at individual and group-based treatments, and patient preference for different types of intervention. I think this is the first study to use a clear manualized intervention that's based on the psychological theory of mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of psychological problems. Obviously, this tended to use more prescriptive interventions like anxiety management, stress management, taking techniques from a range of different sources. So I think there's a difference of conceptual basis to this kind of intervention. And it's something that is highly manualized and structured, and in fact can be delivered by a range of different healthcare professionals. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And also during cardiovascular rehab. Correct? Dr. Adrian Wells: Absolutely, yeah. During cardiac rehab. One interesting finding... And we were a little concerned that this might adversely affect attendance at cardiac rehab. But we found that the treatment was well tolerated, and it didn't have any negative impact on attendance at these other sessions. Dr. Greg Hundley: Excellent. Well, congratulations on this new finding. Well, listeners, we're next going to turn to Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim from Yonsei University in Korea. And Yong-Chan, could you describe for us also the background related to your study, and the hypothesis that your research wanted to test? Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim: Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful discussion. South Korea is among the countries with the lowest cardiovascular mortality in the world. And the rate is even decreasing. However, cardiovascular risk factor is worsening. Especially in younger generation in Korea. So these young people may not have a very high cardiovascular risk, but I wanted to know the potential impact of worsening cardiovascular risk profile in this younger Korean generation. And furthermore, I wanted to know how much we can lead youth cardiovascular risk by improving their cardiovascular health profile. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And so tell us about your study design and what was the study population, related to your study? Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim: My study is basically based on the national health checkup program and national health insurance claim database. In Korea, adults over the age of 20 and employed workers of all ages are required to take general health checkup every two years. The participation rate is between 70 and 80%. So we identified three and a half million adults, age 20 to 39 years, who complete the health checkup. And cardiovascular health scores was calculated as the number of ideal cardiovascular health component, which include non-smoking, moderate physical activity three times a week, body mass index below 2030, normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol and normal fasting glucose. So the score can range from zero to six. And higher score meaning better cardiovascular health. Our outcomes were myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular deaths in about 16 years. In addition, we also evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to two year change in how the vascular health score using repeated health checkup data. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. So evaluating a set of behavioral patterns and risk factors in younger individuals, and then predicting what their longer term adverse cardiovascular outcomes would be. So what did you find? Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim: So even in this relatively low risk population, better cardiovascular health score was associated with significantly lower cardiovascular risk. About 20% reduction per one point higher score. And more importantly, people with improving cardiovascular score over two years showed leading toward cardiovascular risk. Even if their baseline cardiovascular health score was very low. Dr. Greg Hundley: Really unique findings. Tell us about the impact of your results relative to other studies published in this space. And was this also.... This was unique, because it's an Asian population, Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim: Asian population. And we are among the very low risk population. And even in this low risk population, cardiovascular health score was... Fear can be a good predictor of cardiovascular risk. And compared to many Western countries, we have very low cardiovascular risk. And our population was younger than most other studies. So we can provide some evidence that even in the higher risk population, they can do much better, based on our study. Another important thing, we can check the impact of a changing cardiovascular score, even in the younger generation. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very good. And just as a frame of reference for our listeners. Give us some characteristics, if you wouldn't mind, on what really constitutes practically a low risk score, versus what would constitute a high risk score Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim: In this younger Korean population, their cigarette smoking, and their obesity, and physical inactivity are the most common causes of worsening cardiovascular profile. And the behavioral risk factor also can attack the blood glucose and cholesterol blood pressure. So in this younger generation, they're keeping the good behavior. Past behavior is very important and it's beneficial in the very long-term. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, well listeners. We're going to turn to our experts here. Two very interesting studies. And ask them both, what do they think is the next study that needs to be performed in their respective areas of research? So Yong-Chan, we'll start with you. Since we just discussed your paper. What do you think is the next study to be performed really in this sphere of research. Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim: Korea is a relatively low cardiovascular risk, has a very small size, and no racial diversity. But even in this country, disparity and inequality in cardiovascular health is becoming an important issue. So I want to identify subcultural relatively poor cardiovascular health among younger population. And also I want to find ways to improve their cardiovascular score. The conventional approaches, such as education and mass campaign, are less effective oppose this younger adults have a poor socioeconomic status. So, we may need to develop newer target-specific strategies to improve their cardiovascular health. Dr. Greg Hundley: Good. And Dr. Wells, our agent will turn next to you. What do you see is the next area of investigation or research study that needs to be performed in your sphere of interests? Dr. Adrian Wells: Well, I think the next step is to look at rollout of this intervention. Is that feasible, and how acceptable is this to cardiac services? In fact, the National Institute of Health Research have just awarded us some funding to examine feasibility and barriers to implementation in the healthcare system. In addition to that, we're beginning to examine the effects of metacognitive therapy with other health conditions, such as cancer in children and adolescents. Dr. Greg Hundley: Nice. Well listeners, we have had just a wonderful discussion today from both Dr. Adrian Wells from University of Manchester. Who brought to us combining a group-mediated, psychological stress-reducing, anxiety-reducing, intervention to the cardiac rehab sphere. And how impactful that was in reducing both anxiety, and overall depressive symptoms. And then also exciting research from Dr. Hyeon Chang Kim from South Korea. Identifying for us that in Asian population, as well as what we know in other races, those individuals in their twenties to thirties with favorable lifestyle habits, have reduced cardiovascular risk much later in life. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, on behalf of both Carolyn and myself, we want to wish you a great week. And we'll catch you next week on the run.

Earth Day, which falls on April 22 and is the annual celebration of the birth of the modern environmental movement, began in 1970. Once focused on more local environmental concerns, now on its 51st anniversary, the meaning of Earth Day is giving way to more organized international concerns of inspiring global action on climate change.

Words matter. At its best, etymology gives us insight not only into the origins of words, but why they remain so important today, especially in medicine, where we’ve been accruing jargon for millennia. In this episode, we’re delving into four specific words -- doctor, cerebrovascular accident, rounds, and zebras.  And along the way, we’re going to discuss pre-historical pastoralists on the Eurasian steppes, medieval universities, Octagonal air-ventilated chambers in 19th century Baltimore, and of course, early 21st century sitcoms.   Works cited: OSLER W.

L’incentivo economico: i bonus stratosferici. L’incentivo sociale: rimanere i manager dell’azienda più innovativa del mondo. Il mezzo per aggirare il sistema: una contabilità aggressiva e molto spesso fraudolenta. Enron manipolò i suoi bilanci in due modi. Il primo sistema lo utilizzò per far sembrare profittevoli gli investimenti in perdita, il secondo, invece, per tenere le montagne di debito usate per finanziarli fuori dal bilancio. È importante ricordare che l’attività fraudolenta di Enron non venne scoperta fino al 2001. Solo alla fine di quell’anno l’azienda ammise irregolarità contabili. Come ha fatto a sopravvivere senza profitti stabili, con milioni di dollari di debito investiti in progetti fallimentari e a ingannare centinaia di analisti e investitori per così tanti anni? Siete pronti per una lezione di contabilità a livello agonistico? Noi di Bank Station vi accompagneremo nell’ufficio dei due uomini che hanno reso tutto questo possibile. Coloro che hanno permesso ad Enron di vivere gli ultimi anni della sua esistenza in una vera e propria financial fantasyland.

Moderated by Emmy Award-winning news anchor and journalist Carey Peña, this episode features stroke survivor Christopher Ewing and Dr. Mitchell Elkind, professor of neurology and epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City. Ewing shares his moving stroke story and the concerns he and fellow stroke survivors in Southern California have about how COVID-19 may affect them. Elkind addresses stroke survivors' COVID-19-related health risks and how stroke survivors can reduce their risks and stay healthy during the pandemic.  

Especialista em Liderança Consciente e Gestão do Estresse, estudioso de meditação, respiração e yoga há 28 anos. Fundou a Mantri em 2013, para atender indivíduos e empresas com o objetivo de proporcionar uma vida mais equilibrada, saudável e plena, através de atendimentos individuais, workshops, cursos, retiros e palestras. Meu convidado de hoje é André Elkind. Em 1959, o especialista em gestão Peter Drucker previu que uma transição dramática na natureza do trabalho ocorreria 50 anos depois. Ele cunhou um termo para este novo tipo de serviço, o "trabalho de conhecimento” Como você vê a onda de liderança e conscientização que tomou o mundo hoje? Como a Shakti está incluída neste processo? Propósito é o fim ou o caminho? De acordo com o Health and Safety Executive (HSE), agência de incentivo e regulação da saúde do Reino Unido, o estresse, a depressão ou a ansiedade responderam por 57% de todos as faltas no trabalho por doença nos anos de 2017 e 2018. Qual o papel da expansão da consciência para o combate à este dado tão alarmante?? Como despertou em você o interesse por uma liderança consciente? O que mudou em você e na sua vida? Qual mensagem você diria para alguém que não conhece a liderança consciente, como começar? A liderança feminina, especialmente no ambiente de negócios, é uma realidade. Qual é a participação do homem no presente e no futuro dessa liderança? Quais valores são esperados da liderança para o novo mundo? Como você vê o equilíbrio da liderança feminina e masculina? O líder consciente e equilibrado precisa dessa ambivalência? André também comenta a fórmula: FELICIDADE+PROPÓSITO+EQUILÍBRIO= SUCESSO

Join us on part 2 of the clip interviews from the Logosol World Meeting in Sweden! We're talking to marketing expert and daughter of the founder of Logosol, Katarina Byström, Tobias Elkind - aka @projectoftheday, and Tom Fox! That's right, we went to the Logosol World Meeting and met up with some incredible minds and makers in the wood world! Not only that, but we were able to see what an innovative and forward-thinking company they are with some of the happiest employees (and customers) that we've ever seen. Join us throughout the next few weeks as we spend some time on the Woodpreneur Podcast with makers, sawmill owners, and wood business owners across the globe!  The World Meeting Curious about what went on behind the scenes at the Logosol World Meeting? Go on Instagram and use the hashtag #logosolwm2019 What exactly is a Woodpreneur? So, why the term “woodpreneur”? When Steve first started Acres of Timber three years ago, the wood community and industry wasn't what it is now.  Slab dealers, wood designers, and more specifically at the time – sawmill users, didn't have a community or a brand and were going largely unnoticed by potential customers who would look instead to the Home Depot and Lowe's of this world for their products. Steve sought to change that by creating the Sawmill Business Instagram account and the #sawmillbusiness hashtag as a way to share the products and creations that these innovative makers were producing. It didn't take long for the account to grow to over 136,000 followers and with a hashtag that has been used over 35,000 times, the Sawmill Business community grew and grew quickly!  As the Sawmill Business following grew, Steve began to notice that this community didn't just include sawmill owners. Furniture designers, woodworkers, arborists, tree climbers, chainsaw users, slab sellers, and even treehouse makers became an integral part of the Sawmill Business family as well. It was at this point that Steve knew the business needed a new name that would truly encompass all that the wood community represents. Hence, @acresoftimber and the term “Woodprener” was born. With the maker movement now in full swing, there are more podcasts, content creators, (like Anne of All Trades) YouTubers, and makers, (such as Matt Cremona) that are putting a spotlight on sawmill users, furniture makers, and other wood related niches. Not only has the wood community turned into a “maker movement” it's also filled with people who now view the work that they do as a profitable business and not just a hobby. A perception that was lacking without a community behind it.

Jim Elkind is one of New York’s legendary art collectors of 20thcentury fine art and design. In this interview Jim takes us back to the beginning of his career and shares stories of discovery and adventure over the years, with a great deal of warmth and humor. In the 80’s he founded Lost City Arts to preserve decorative architectural artifacts that lined the facades of buildings in Manhattan. He is widely recognized as the leading authority on the work of Harry Bertoia, who has become the subject of exponentially growing interest in recent years. At the end of this fascinating interview, you will have opportunity to enjoy the sound of some of Harry Bertoia’s Sonambient sculptures!  

In August, at a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, a tall man with a Viking beard and an elegant gray suit walked out on a stage, carrying a stack of red Make America Great Again hats, tossing them to an adoring crowd, shouting "Four more years!" The man is Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, who vaulted from a mid-level web designer to digital strategist for the 2016 Trump campaign and now manages the 2020 incarnation, Donald J. Trump for President Inc., which he claims will be America's first billion-dollar campaign. And as he's been doing this, Parscale has figured out ways to enrich himself and his firms, at various times collecting a salary from the Trump campaign, payments from the Republican National Committee and money from a super PAC, America First Action. Like Trump, Parscale is a man who's reinvented himself, from working for a family company that declared bankruptcy to being a middling businessman, to becoming a high-profile avatar for Donald Trump.  ProPublica's Peter Elkind joined Trump, Inc. to talk about his in-depth profile of Parscale in ProPublica and the political juggernaut Parscale is assembling to re-elect the President. Here's what Elkind says about Parscale and the stories he tells about himself: "He changes dates. He rearranges facts. He omits conspicuous events. He basically rewrites his own life story to become a more romantic tale, to fit into the image that he's trying to convey. He is a promoter, he's a hustler, he's a marketer." In short, Brad Parscale is a lot like his boss. To find out more, listen to the episode.

In this episode, we interview Jonathan Elkind (Columbia University, former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy) and Clara Gillispie (NBR) about U.S. energy policy in Asia. Elkind and Gillispie discuss the role of energy in the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” strategy, how countries in the region are responding, what U.S.-China trade tensions have to do with energy, and what they’d like to see from the Trump administration’s policies in the future.   2:30 How did your interest in energy policy begin? 4:50 What is the U.S. energy policy towards Asia? 8:49 Can you separate energy policy from broader policy toward Asia? 10:15 How do Japan and South Korea fit into our energy policy? 12:30 What are the primary concerns from other countries in the region? How have they been reacting to U.S. policy? 15:33 What is the future of U.S.-Russia relations on energy? 18:40 What are the prospects for a Russia-Japan energy pipeline? 20:12 How are U.S.-China tensions on trade affecting energy policy? References the report, “A Natural Gas Giant Awakens: China’s Quest for Blue Skies Shapes Global Markets” 27:55 How is the energy industry handling uncertainty in U.S. policy? 35:50 What have you seen in the Trump administration’s approach to investing in emerging energy technology? 40:20 What do you wish the administration would consider as it formulates energy policy? 43:58 What is the most promising energy source for the future and why? 45:00 What book on energy would you recommend to an Asia generalist?

As any scholar of the Vietnam War can tell you, the field doesn't lack for study: it's one of the most-studied fields for both military and diplomatic historians. And yet, for all of the scholarly attention it has received, there are understudied facets of this complicated, multilateral conflict, particularly in its early years, before American ground troops entered the country in large numbers. Jessica Elkind's Aid Under Fire: Nation Building and the Vietnam War (University of Kentucky Press, 2016) does precisely this by examining U.S. development programs that tried to foster a viable South Vietnamese state in the 1950s and early 1960s. The outcomes of those disparate programs ultimately deepened a U.S. commitment to the Republic of South Vietnam and helped set the United States on the road to war. Dr. Elkind's research was conducted using U.S. government sources, private collections from Michigan State University, and South Vietnamese government sources held in Ho Chi Minh City. Michigan State University was an important actor in this narrative because it was responsible for establishing and running certain programs. In each of the book's five chapters, she examines a different aid program, ranging from the resettlement programs created for refugees fleeing the newly-created North Vietnam, to agricultural aid and development, to police training. What emerges from these various perspectives is a view of widely-ranging intentions and goals that often differed starkly. Not only did the U.S. government and South Vietnamese government disagree on what would constitute effective aid and development, the public-private partnership that existed between the U.S. government and Michigan State University also frayed as the individual aid workers began to lose faith in their mission. As the United States and the international community confronts global problems about development and nation-building, Aid Under Fire suggests lessons that policymakers and the public should heed. Development cannot succeed without taking into account the wishes of the people who are receiving aid, and simply transplanting western modalities cannot work without taking into account the conditions on the ground. As Elkind demonstrates, overconfidence in nation-building can have dire consequences. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“In the world of organized crime, the bosses grab the headlines, as the names Capone, Gotti, Bonnano, Catroni and Rizzuto attest. But a crime family has many working parts and the young mobster known as The Weasel was the epitome of a crucial, invisible cog—the soldier, the muscle, the driver, the gopher.” Taken from the inside flap of the Weasel—A Double Life in the Mob, by Adrian Humphreys. The Weasel is Marvin Elkind. He will be our guest to talk about the Mob and the death of Jimmy Hoffa.

Does play really matter? Do children get anything out of it? Or is it just messing around; time that could be better spent preparing our children for success in life? Today we talk with Dr. Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play, about the benefits of play for both children and – I was surprised to find – adults. This is the first in a series of episodes on play – lots more to come on outdoor play (and how to raise kids who love being outdoors), risky play, and imaginative play.

We’re kicking off a series of episodes today on the topic of play. Now I hear you wondering: play? There’s enough research about play to be able to do one episode, never mind a series of episodes?! And my response to that would be, Oh yes, there is just you. Wait, so we’re going to kick off today with an overview of the topic and then we’ll delve into various aspects of play with a particular focus on outdoor play because it’s important to me and just sometimes that’s how we pick topics around here. So today we have is our very special guest Dr. Stuart Brown, MD. I first learned of his work when I heard the National Institute for Play mentioned during a show on NPR. I thought to myself, there is a national institute for play. I have to talk to somebody from there, and so Dr. Brown, who’s the founder and director of the National Institute for Play is here to share his research and work. I was fascinated to read his book play, how it shapes the brain, opens the imagination and invigorates the soul because I was expecting it to tell me how important play is to my daughter’s development, but I wasn’t expecting it to tell me how important play is to my own wellbeing as well. So we’ll get into that to welcome Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown:                         (https://www.temi.com/editor/t/grKjDBLKJIWUTUR1odQ3E7dW7ZFM53njgDr3Xdgc-cqz8sj2yiCz2j2xOh5ol8ymm_B426E32EU4W2hIkUS-BrL17QQ?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=111.34)                    Glad to be here Jen.

So I’m wondering, can you please define play for us? Dr. Brown:...

The case of San Antonio nurse Genene Jones, convicted in 1984 of murdering children in her care, and now suspected of having killed as many as 16 infants, made national headlines. A horrifying true-life medical thriller, this report by an editor of Texas Monthly is written in an understated style that adds to its impact. Despite her dismissal from a hospital post, weird medical obsessions, a history of lying and major on-the-job errors, Jones breezed from one nursing job to the next. The case has intriguing elements--a young, ambitious prosecuting D.A.; a naive, supportive close associate of the accused serial killer; a public hospital administration that suspected criminal wrongdoing but failed to notify the police and was later accused of cover-up. Elkind, who spares no one, notes with dismay that Jones could be eligible for parole as early as next year. THE DEATH SHIFT-Peter Elkind

Colin Marshall sits down at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law with Ethan Elkind, an attorney who researches and writes on environmental law and the author of Railtown: The Fight for the Los Angeles Metro Rail System and the Future of the City. They discuss the reason visitors and even some Angelenos express surprise at the very existence of the city's subway; the roots of the assumption that Los Angeles would always have a 1950s-style "car culture"; why something as essential as a rail system has required a "fight"; the persistent Roger Rabbit conspiracy theory about the dismantling of Los Angeles' first rail transit network; why so may, for so long, failed to consider the city's inevitably dense and increasingly less car-compatible future; Los Angeles' long-standing anxiety about joining the ranks of "world-class" cities, and how the absence of a subway fueled it; how Californian rail systems, Los Angeles' especially but the San Francisco's Bay Area's BART as well, physically embody the compromises of consensus-based politics; what some Angelenos mean when they talk about "Manhattanization"; the similarity between a city's expectation that its citizens all own their own cars and an expectation that they all own their own power generators; how much the conversation about rail in Los Angeles has to do with, simply, density in Los Angeles; why Metro pretends not to know about its own problems and resorts to "corporate PR-speak"; whether those who lament the limitations of Los Angeles rail can blame individuals (such as Henry Waxman); whether anyone can change the minds of Angelenos who want the city to return to 1962; the demoralizing effects of such far-flung completion dates as 2036 for the Purple Line subway to UCLA; and how every voter can come to consider the Los Angeles Metro rail system "a precious thing."
