Corrosion rarely announces itself as a "big water problem." It shows up as leaching at the tap, residual loss in the field, premature equipment replacement, and the slow, expensive erosion of decision-quality.  Pat Rosenstiel (CEO) and Wolf Merker (chemist/Chief Science Officer) of Great Water Tech lay out a system-wide view of corrosion control—starting with what changed in Flint from a technical standpoint and moving into why many utilities still struggle to meet expectations when standards and risk assumptions shift.  System-wide corrosion control starts with chemistry and consequences  A source-water change can shift corrosivity fast. If corrosion control does not adjust proactively, the downstream effects show in metal release and public exposure. Wolf stresses the distinction between the technical problem and the political challenges, then points to corrosion control as a solvable technical matter when it is treated as a system condition—not a single asset issue.  Why "phosphate-only" isn't the end of the story  Trace frames what most operators recognize: many municipalities use phosphate inhibitors to form a tenacious film and reduce corrosion. Wolf argues phosphates are "a little bit of old news" in practice and explains the approach Great Water Tech discusses with their German partners—using phosphates and silicates together in the right amounts to create a tighter separation between water and metal.  Barriers, biology, and the disinfection tradeoff  Wolf breaks corrosion drivers into three sources: chemical, biological, and electrochemical (dissimilar metal corrosion). He also ties corrosion to cascading operational decisions—especially disinfectant strategy. If residual loss pushes a system from chlorine to chloramine, Wolf warns that corrosivity can increase dramatically, and that corrosion can amplify the formation of disinfection byproducts as chlorine reacts with what is in the water.  What industrial water treaters should listen for  Pat connects the same barrier logic to industrial priorities—CapEx, OpEx, and lifecycle extension in closed systems (cooling towers, closed chilled loops, boilers). Wolf clarifies that closed systems require different product "flavors," while keeping the core concept consistent: the combined silicate/phosphate approach remains the best path he is aware of.  Listen to the full conversation above.

Send us a textPlaywright, pianist, and composer along with her collaborator Raymond O. Caldwell who is a director, producer, and artistic director of The Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, stopped by the studio to discuss their latest project - Poetry for the People: The June Jordan Experience. While our conversation did have a few technical setbacks, we were able to get back on track about their budding relationship, Adrienne's personal and collaborative relationship with June, building the team that would encapsulate the life and poetry of June as well as her importance to society and her concept of the "rings of connection." We unpack the process of combining conflicting visions in collaboration, the importance of trust and sharing a vision, and centering on the work. We also discuss introducing new elements durning the last few weeks of rehearsal, the evolution of different iterations, surprise revelations, unconventional storytelling, creating a through line from unconnected sources, and the secret to smooth transitions. It's wonderful back-and-forth that becomes a little silly at the end, but the whole conversation is insightful and entertaining. Enjoy!For tickets to Poetry for the People at the Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles from January 27th through March 29th, visit - https://www.fountaintheatre.com/events/poetry-for-the-peopleAdrienne Torf, is a playwright, pianist, and composer.

On this episode of Words of Grace, we consider The Divine Perspective of Repentance from Luke chapter 15. Using the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son, this message looks beyond repentance as merely a human act and focuses instead on God's response when His children return to Him. Jesus' parables of the lost sheep, the … Continue reading "The Divine Perspective of Repentance"

 When water systems fail, the damage is not the same for everyone. In Flint, the deepest harm lives in children's brains. In other cities, the damage is buried in pipes, mains, and hydrants. In this episode, Arthur Busch examines what really gets damaged when public water systems fail—and why the law treats those harms very differently.The episode opens in Flint, Michigan, with the story of Lee Anne Walters and her twin sons, who lost developmental skills after drinking lead-contaminated tap water. Their experience illustrates what lead exposure looks like up close: not statistics or charts, but children who had to relearn colors, numbers, and basic coordination, and who continue to struggle years later. This is the most enduring harm of bad water—damage carried inside a child's body and brain for life.From there, the episode draws a critical distinction between human damage and infrastructure damage. In Flint, the deepest injury is neurological and developmental, raising issues of justice, lifetime support, and accountability. In other cities, such as Miramar, Florida, and Greenville, South Carolina, the primary damage has been mechanical—corroded copper plumbing, failing ductile iron pipe, clogged mains, and compromised fire flow. Those cases focus on replacing pipe, repairing systems, and preventing the next failure.The episode explores how these different kinds of harm move through the legal system. In Flint, class actions and civil rights claims seek compensation for children's injuries, medical monitoring, special education needs, and property loss. In Miramar and Greenville, lawsuits target cities, engineers, and manufacturers over defective design, testing failures, and pipe performance, aiming to shift future repair costs away from ratepayers.Along the way, the episode examines how water crises have become a litigation business model, with large contingency-fee cases driving accountability only after harm has already occurred. It also looks at how new Lead and Copper Rule requirements are reshaping evidence, documentation, and liability—often after cities have already gambled with aging infrastructure.Ultimately, this episode asks a hard policy question: Is our system designed to protect the public, or mainly to manage liability after failure? Pipes can be replaced. Children cannot. The choices judges, regulators, and lawmakers make about prevention, accountability, and funding will determine whether future crises are stopped early—or simply paid for later.This episode is part of The Mitten Channel, a Michigan-based podcast network examining law, public policy, and life in America's industrial communities.

Am 8. November 1999 wird Bruce Miller auf seinem Schrottplatz in Mt. Morris bei Flint, Michigan, erschossen aufgefunden. Am Tatort fehlen verwertbare Spuren, ein Motiv ist nicht erkennbar. Die Ermittlungen richten sich auf das unmittelbare Umfeld des Opfers. Bruce Millers Ehefrau Sharee Miller verweist früh auf einen früheren Mitarbeiter namens John Hutchinson, der daraufhin überprüft wird. Trotz intensiver Befragungen und Durchsuchungen gelingt es den Ermittlern nicht, einen belastbaren Tatverdacht zu begründen. Der Mordfall gerät ins Stocken. Im Februar 2000 wird in Missouri Jerry Cassaday tot in seiner Wohnung aufgefunden. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt besteht kein erkennbarer Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Todesfällen. Erst im weiteren Verlauf der Ermittlungen stellt sich die Frage, ob zwischen beiden Fällen ein Zusammenhang besteht und welche Rolle Sharee Miller dabei spielt…

How should we respond to repentance, whether it's our own, or something we see in someone else? When confronted with our sin, shame and fear often rise quickly. And when another person repents, our fallen instincts can lean toward skepticism, cynicism, or judgment rather than grace. Today on Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a … Continue reading "The Beauty in Repentance, Part 1"

We learn how dragonriding and dragonlances work. Laurana, or the Golden General as she is being called, leads the forces of good to victories over the draconian armies. The first pitched air battle between dragons is fought. Tas and Flint get to ride a dragon into battle! It almost ends in disaster for everyone involved. Almost. But, Tas does capture an enemy dragon rider while Flint swears off dragon riding forever.  While the liberated city of Kalamn celebrates Laurana, the Knights of Solamnia and their victories Tas manages to find the lone Draconian in the city. The creature tasks the kender with delivering a message to Laurana. The message is from Kit, and states that Tanis is dying and wishes to see Laurana. Kit has agreed to a prisoner swap. Laurana agrees to this plan for no coherent reason. Everyone else thinks this is a TERRIBLE idea!

In 1952, a saloon killing in a small Upper Peninsula town became one of the most important—and controversial—criminal trials in Michigan history.The lawyer who defended the accused was John D. Voelker: former county prosecutor, defense attorney, future Michigan Supreme Court justice, and a gifted writer who would later publish the landmark legal novel Anatomy of a Murder under the pen name Robert Traver.In this episode of Flint Justice, Arthur Busch examines:the real Big Bay homicide that inspired the book,how Voelker transformed a trial transcript into one of the most realistic courtroom novels ever written, andwhat Anatomy of a Murder still teaches us about prosecutors, defense lawyers, juries, and reasonable doubt.This is not a story about tidy verdicts or cinematic courtroom speeches. It's about ambiguity, discretion, community judgment, and the uncomfortable truth that justice is often shaped by what can be proven—not what actually happened.For lawyers, judges, and communities like Flint and Genesee County, Anatomy of a Murder remains a mirror held up to the justice system itself.Photography by Jim Hansen, LOOK Magazine Photograph Collection, Library of CongressWe would like to hear from you!

I am referencing the Chronicles, the Tales of the Lance boxed set, and War of the lance sourcebook for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below! Discussion For more than three centuries, Solostaran ruled the Qualinesti during what mankind would later call the Age of Despair. It was a time without gods, without certainty, and without mercy. Though remembered as wise and fair, Solostaran was, above all else, a ruler shaped by loss—forced to choose survival over compassion, isolation over alliance, and duty over love. Solostaran was born into the royal family of Qualinesti, one of three brothers. Long before he ever wore the Medallion of the Sun, he was trained in governance, diplomacy, and restraint. He learned power slowly—deliberately—so that when it finally fell to him, he would not wield it rashly. His ascent to Speaker was not without challenge. In the unstable years following the Cataclysm, there were whispers—perhaps even open conflicts—that might have denied him the throne. Yet through the intervention of allies within the noble houses, Solostaran was confirmed as Speaker of the Sun, inheriting not just authority… but responsibility for a people traumatized by a broken world. And he ruled as a man who understood that burden all too well. Solostaran's earliest years as Speaker were marked by harsh but effective decrees. He withdrew elven forces from Pax Tharkas, abandoning joint defenses with dwarves. He refused involvement in the Dwarfgate War, even when envoys from the archmage Fistandantilus approached his borders. And most famously—most controversially—he banished all non-elves from Qualinesti, declaring the forest an inviolate homeland. To outsiders, these acts seemed cold… even cruel. But Solostaran believed something deeply and painfully simple: The elves could not save the world. He wept silently for Ansalon's refugees, but he believed humans—and the other races—had to solve their own problems. If Qualinesti bled for every failing of the world, there would soon be no elves left at all. On feast days and holy celebrations, Solostaran would climb alone to the top of the Tower of the Sun, ascending its endless stairs for reasons never recorded. Some say it was prayer. Others say penance. Perhaps it was simply a ruler reminding himself how high he stood—and how far he could fall. That belief—that distance was mercy—began to crack with the arrival of a child. In 248 AC, Solostaran's brother Kethrenan Kanan died. His widow arrived in Qualinost bearing terrible news: she had been assaulted by a human brigand… and she carried a child. Solostaran hoped—desperately—that the child was his brother's. It was not. The infant Tanthalas, later known as Tanis Half-Elven, was everything Solostaran feared: living proof of elven vulnerability, and a reminder of the outside world he had tried to shut away. By his own beliefs, Tanis should never have been allowed within Qualinesti. Yet Solostaran took him in. He raised the half-elf in his own household, watching as Tanis aged faster than elven children—outpacing Gilthanas and Laurana not in years, but in mortality. Through Tanis, Solostaran began to understand human fragility… and human courage. His compassion grew. But it never fully conquered his prejudice. Even as he loved Tanis, Solostaran struggled to see him as whole—once calling him “half of two things and all of nothing.” Decades later, another outsider would challenge Solostaran's certainties. In 288 AC, the Speaker took notice of finely wrought jewelry from a metalsmith in the human town of Solace. When he summoned the craftsman, Solostaran was surprised to find not a human—but a hill dwarf named Flint Fireforge. Flint became the first dwarf in over a century welcomed into Qualinesti. More than a smith, Flint became a friend—to Solostaran, and especially to Tanis. Through Flint, the Speaker was forced to confront a truth he had long avoided: wisdom, loyalty, and honor were not elven virtues alone. Yet even this growth came with limits. When Tanis was accused—falsely—of murdering Eld Ailea, Solostaran confined him and threatened exile as a dark elf. Only Flint's investigation uncovered the true traitor: Solostaran's own brother, Arelas Kanan. Tanis was freed. And soon after… he left. Secretly, Solostaran was relieved. With the rise of the Dragonarmies, Solostaran's long-feared reckoning arrived. The forest would not be spared. Recognizing that isolation had reached its end, Solostaran ordered preparations for exile. Scouts were sent across Abanasinia. A refuge was founded in Southern Ergoth—Qualimori—and a fleet was constructed in secret. In 351 AC, the elves fled Qualinesti just as the Red Dragonarmy closed in. For the first time in centuries, Solostaran ruled a people without a homeland. Exile broke what centuries of rule had hardened. His wife fell gravely ill and vanished from record. His daughter Laurana defied him—twice—first by leaving Qualinesti for Tanis, and later by stealing a Dragon Orb from his court to use against the Dragonarmies. When Laurana fled, Solostaran declared her dead to him—even at the Whitestone Council. Yet despite his bitterness, Solostaran committed elven forces to the war. He trusted increasingly in Porthios, his eldest son, granting him greater authority—perhaps knowing his own strength was fading. After the War of the Lance, Solostaran led his people home. But the forest he returned to was not the one he had left. Within three years, the Speaker of the Sun passed away, ending one of the longest reigns in elven history. He left behind a kingdom forever changed—and a son shaped by his example, and his failures. Solostaran Kanan was not a hero of battle. He was a guardian. A ruler who believed restraint was strength. A father who loved deeply—but imperfectly. A king who closed the gates to save his people… and lived long enough to see that walls cannot stop the world forever. Under his rule, Qualinesti survived the Age of Despair. And sometimes, survival is the hardest victory of all. Outro And that is all I have to say about Solostaran Kanan. What would you have done differently if you were in his shoes? Was his initial racial decisions what cemented their ultimate retreat and fall as a nation? And finally, since Tanis was the half-brother by marriage to Laurana, should they have gotten married? Leave a comment below.

Mike has helped scale businesses doing billions in sales, but what sets him apart is how intentionally he applies leadership, discipline, and values inside his own home.At the heart of this conversation is a powerful idea: give kids the flint, not the fire. Instead of simply handing down money or opportunity, Mike explains why parents must focus on preparing the heir — teaching responsibility, stewardship, and self-mastery — long before wealth ever changes hands.We also explore one of the most important parenting principles you'll hear: connection before correction.  Especially with adolescents, Mike shares why maintaining trust, presence, and relationship is the foundation that makes guidance, discipline, and financial lessons actually stick.This episode is filled with practical frameworks parents can implement immediately, including:How to teach financial responsibility through skin in the game, not handoutsWhy you need to prioritize connection before correctionWhy preparing heirs matters more than preparing estatesA weekly family meeting that becomes the operating system for your homeA simple daily routine — CHARMS — to help kids build discipline, confidence, and self-masteryHow to raise money-smart kids without entitlement, control, or burnoutThis is a conversation for parents, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want their success to strengthen their family — not come at its expense.If you're focused on raising grounded, capable kids and building a legacy that goes far beyond money, this episode with Mike McCarthy is a must-listen.Show notes and more at:https://moneydadpodcast.com/session076Support the show

Annunciation ~Marie Howe Even if I don't see it again - nor ever feel it I know it is and that if once it hailed me it ever does - And so it is myself I want to turn in that direction not as towards a place, but it was a tilting within myself, as one turns a mirror to flash the light where it isn't - I was blinded like that - and swam in what shone at me only able to endure it by being no one and so specifically myself I thought I'd die from being loved like that. Gabriel's Annunciation ~ Jan Richardson For a moment I hesitated on the threshold. For the space of a breath I paused, unwilling to disturb her last ordinary moment, knowing that the next step would cleave her life: that this day would slice her story in two, dividing all the days before from all the ones to come. The artists would later depict the scene: Mary dazzled by the archangel, her head bowed in humble assent, awed by the messenger who condescended to leave paradise to bestow such an honor upon a woman, and mortal. Yet I tell you it was I who was dazzled, I who found myself agape when I came upon her— reading, at the loom, in the kitchen, I cannot now recall; only that the woman before me— blessed and full of grace long before I called her so— shimmered with how completely she inhabited herself, inhabited the space around her, inhabited the moment that hung between us. I wanted to save her from what I had been sent to say. Yet when the time came, when I had stammered the invitation (history would not record the sweat on my brow, the pounding of my heart; would not note that I said Do not be afraid to myself as much as to her) it was she who saved me— her first deliverance— her Let it be not just declaration to the Divine but a word of solace, of soothing, of benediction for the angel in the doorway who would hesitate one last time— just for the space of a breath torn from his chest— before wrenching himself away from her radiant consent, her beautiful and awful yes.

The Age of Anxiety: Political Media, Dementia, and the Boomer FearIn Michigan living rooms—from Flint to Saginaw to small towns up north—older Americans watch political news that feels less like reporting and more like a public trial of aging itself. Every stumble, verbal slip, or moment of confusion by national leaders is clipped, replayed, and mocked. For older viewers, this coverage is not abstract or partisan. It is personal.This investigative audio essay examines how constant media focus on age and cognition quietly harms older adults, especially in aging, post-industrial communities. Drawing on research in psychology, aging, and media studies, it explores fear of dementia, stigma, loneliness, and how political spectacle fuels anxiety, withdrawal, and disengagement from democracy.As Michigan approaches critical elections, this episode asks a deeper question: What happens to a democracy when aging itself is treated as entertainment—and dignity is the cost? #TheAgeOfAnxiety #InvestigativeAudio #AgingInAmerica #MediaAndDemocracy #MichiganPolitics #BoomerGeneration #CognitiveHealth #PublicWellBeing We would like to hear from you!

On this svelte-yet-festive episode, hosts Ashleigh and Flint give some details about some surprisingly positive news stories, some that you may have missed and some that you absolutely definitely have heard about, including: An update on the NDAA bill in the USA. New protections for intersex people in Victoria, Australia. The Girlguides and the Women's Institute both saying they'd bar trans women, only for a lot of their members to rebel against it. A quick update from the EHRC now that Falkner has finally, finally left.  A triple-threat Loser's Corner, including a particular Scottish nurse... And a visit from Father Transmasc, for a decidedly festive section about the nice list, and the naughty list! References: https://whatthetrans.com/ep146 Thumbail photo credit: Chatham House

In this week's podcast, we sit down with Drs. Sarguni Singh, Christian Furman, and Lynn Flint, three authors of the recent Journal of the American Geriatrics Society article, "Rehab and Death: Improving End-of-Life Care for Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility Beneficiaries."  The authors dive into the challenges facing seriously ill older adults discharged to Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), where fragmented care transitions, misaligned Medicare policies, and inadequate access to palliative care often result in burdensome hospitalizations and goal-discordant care.  The discussion highlights key barriers in Medicare's SNF and hospice benefits, including the inability to access concurrent hospice and SNF care, and explores solutions to improve care. Among the recommendations is leveraging Medicare's Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) to reimburse SNFs for providing palliative care, commissioning a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on SNF utilization at the end of life, and piloting a model that allows time-limited concurrent hospice and rehabilitation care.  Also, check out these two resources if you want a deeper dive: Our past podcast we did, now nearly 6 years ago, on the original NEJM paper, Rehabbed to Death.

In Part 2 of his annual Holiday Gift Guide, Dennis talks to creative entrepreneurs Scott Willams and Cam Clarke. Scott discovered a passion for ceramics during the pandemic and has since launched a side business called SEW Ceramics, based in Cambria, California. His Strata line of clay lamps are his most popular items to date. Each is one-of-a-kind because, as Scott quips, "I couldn't duplicate them if I tried." Scott talks about how getting his hands dirty has served as an escape from the stresses of modern life, the crafty grandmother who inspired his artistic side and how he comes up with cool names for his lamps, like Astra, Flint and Lumen. https://www.sewceramics.com/ Next up is Cam Clarke, the man behind the gorgeous new coffee table book Now They're All Here about The King Family of entertainers, which Cam is a member of. Cam reveals the slightly petty reason he took on the project, the discoveries he made along the way and what having the family's life and career documented in this way has meant to his relatives. He also talks about his career as a performer and voice-over artist (he was the OG voice of Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!) and recalls the moment when he was 6 years-old and demonstrated a flair for the fabulous on live TV. https://camclarke.com/

Sheriff Chris Swanson strives to live in the moment: On May 30th 2020, when he found himself in the center of a volatile situation, he chose to listen to the people he has sworn to protect, put down his baton, and walk with them by their side. And in doing so, more than a billion people across the world tuned in to see one everyday person change the tide from negative to positive, from what could have been bad to something good. While the world around us seems to be on a constant, unstoppable path of division, Sheriff Chris continues to embrace unity, through his community in Flint, Michigan and beyond. We talk a lot on this show about shining the light into - and finding the light in - the darkness. Sheriff Chris is doing that on the daily. This episode is one of the most profoundly inspiring and uplifting ones we've ever offered and serves as the perfect way to close out the year with you, our good listeners, reminding you that there IS still good out there, lots of it, and you - YES YOU - can find and be that good yourself. _________________________________ GOOD HOLIDAY GIFT ALERT: Steve's third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON'S SLAYINGS lights up the holidays!

Election Day 2025 will go down in history as D-Day for democracy. Terrell Starr joins Andrea to break down what these nationwide victories mean for the future, from the midterms and beyond. It's clear who Americans blame for the government shutdown. The blue tsunami showed up and reshaped the map, literally. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made history as the state's first woman governor as Democrats swept the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and attorney general, with nearly every county shifting blue. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill became the first Democratic woman to lead the state, with Democrats gaining seats across the legislature. Our people-powered victories weren't a "blue bubble" story as Donald Trump wants you to believe. Democrats flipped two seats in Mississippi, two statewide offices in Georgia, won the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and wiped GOP control off the Bucks County school board. Colorado voted to feed kids, Charlotte funded transit, Maine rejected voter suppression, progressive D.A.s Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Alvin Bragg in Manhattan won re-election, and California overwhelmingly voted for redistricting self-defense against GOP autocracy. More on the redistricting battle in future episodes. And in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, just 34, the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest since 1982, the first candidate to get over 1 million votes since 1969, delivered a victory speech so electric it could light up Times Square, reminding us that unity and humanity are the real antidotes to greed and fear. The fascists forced a fight, and democracy punched back. This is only the beginning. Thank you to every Gaslit Nation listener who voted, who showed up for your community, for our shared livable future that we will build together, and who kept hope alive on our darkest days.
