In a major and unprecedented shakeup to the U.S. military's leadership, U.S. President Donald Trump removed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Brown in late February, while announcing his intention to replace Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the head of the U.S. Navy. The personnel changes have been framed as part of an effort to eradicate "woke ideology" from the U.S. military. It is not a coincidence, then, that Brown is Black and Franchetti is the first woman ever to command a U.S. military service branch. But the Trump administration's attack on efforts to address historical injustices for minorities and women - known as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, initiatives - goes beyond purging people of color and high-ranking women officers from the chain of command. As part of this agenda, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has also proposed a radical departure from the U.S. military's approach over the past decade. Though a slow-moving institution that is far from progressive, the Defense Department has undertaken a series of reforms to be more representative of the country it serves. That has included things like adopting a plan to implement the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, updating its harassment policies and protecting its employees from discrimination. Since taking over as defense secretary in late January, Hegseth has articulated his commitment to "restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence." Along those lines, he announced the creation of a Restoring America's Fighting Force Task Force charged with "overseeing the Department's efforts to abolish DEI offices and any vestiges of such offices that subvert meritocracy, perpetuate unconstitutional discrimination, and promote radical ideologies related to systemic racism and gender fluidity." This task force and other envisaged reforms are all aimed at eradicating "wokeness" from the U.S. military and Defense Department. This agenda reflects Hegseth's retrograde and patriarchal vision of the U.S. military. But his justifications for all of these measures are often invented or based on false premises. These misrepresentations are aimed at portraying the U.S. military as hamstrung by politically correct overreach. In both his public comments and his highly critical book about the U.S. military, Hegseth has castigated "woke" generals and policies that, he argues, undermine the military's effectiveness. For example, during his Senate confirmation hearings in January, Hegseth cited personal interviews conducted while writing his book to assert that commanders are expected to "meet quotas" in order to increase the number of women in the ranks. That practice, he added, was one of many "direct, indirect, overt and subtle" ways that the U.S. military has changed its standards to accommodate women recruits. Hegseth had previously asserted that women should not be present in ground combat operations, stating in November, "It hasn't made us more effective. Hasn't made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated." Hegseth's statements make it seem as if women have been coddled by the military in order to goose their numbers, to the detriment of readiness. Hegseth's remarks play well to Trump's base, but they aren't just for public consumption. They have real implications for the well-being of U.S. servicewomen, as well as for women in countries where the U.S. military is active. On both counts, however, he is demonstrably wrong. As Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand pointed out during his confirmation hearing, there are no quotas for women in the infantry. That is a politically expedient lie for Hegseth and his allies. With regard to standards, for instance, retired Army Lt. Col. Ellen Haring told NPR, "Not only have standards not been lowered, but when they first decided that … they were going to open combat jobs to women, the services were given three years to actually set standards because up until that point in time, standards had...

EPISODE SUMMARYDo you know the difference between engineering science and engineering technology? Are you aware of the variety of majors and careers available in these fields? What kind of GPA is required to qualify for these often competitive programs? Dr. Matt Franchetti joins the podcast to answer these questions for us and more, as he shares his insight and experience as Associate Dean of the Engineering College at the University of Toledo.EPISODE NOTESIf you have a teen who loves math and has an aptitude for it, chances are they may be considering engineering as a possible major. And while students may be familiar with this field, I've found most parents often don't know much about a similar field, engineering TECHNOLOGY which is different than engineering (science). That's why I invited Dr. Franchetti to help us understand some of the ins and outs of engineering education and careers so that your teen can be better equipped to make good decisions about their future.Dr. Franchetti serves as the Associate Dean of the Engineering College at the University of Toledo, where they take a more open, collaborative approach to admission into the program. We spend quite a bit of time discussing the differences between this model as well as the more competitive approach taken by many colleges. The traditional selective model can work well for students with a high school GPA and ACT or SAT score that fits stringent criteria, who know exactly what they want and how to get there. But this model isn't ideal for students who may be undecided as to which field of engineering or engineering technology they want to pursue, or whose GPA and test scores don't meet the higher standards standards.Often, colleges will not tell you which model they follow if you ask them outright, so it's important to ask the right questions when looking into admissions to engineering or engineering technology programs. Matt has some great tips on what to look for and which questions to ask. I believe that there is a place for every student, it's just a matter of finding that program that will be the right fit for yours, if engineering is aligned with their wiring.I always encourage students with an interest in STEM to consider engineering & engineering technology as a possible fields, so I've included some resources below to dive into with more information on available programs and careers, as well as some great engineering colleges to visit, either online or in person. Highlights The differences between studying engineering and engineering technologyQuestions to ask of engineering college programs to find your fitHow selective, non-selective, and pre-engineering programs workCareers in both engineering and engineering technologyTips for students to be successful in an engineering programMeet Our GuestDr. Franchetti is a Professor and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies for the College ofIn September, I'm hosting my complimentary parent masterclass, four common mistakes to avoid when choosing a college major.

Robert Larsen is back with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country today. He has brought the Grenache and Grenache Rosé from his personal label, The Larsen Projekt. Robert Larsen is also a publicist with many years experience in the wine business. The 2018 Rosés are coming out now and Robert has brought his entry. Dan Berger starts with a big compliment to Robert's wines. "The most important thing is, it's dry!" says Dan. It sells for only $20. Dan says that with the Rosé boom, some are pricing above $20 which Dan says you can get if it is dry. Robert Larsen was at Rodney Strong Vineyards for many years and now he does marketing and public relations representation for many other wineries. The Larsen Projekt is his personal production. He likes Grenache in all its blends and forms. They are tasting his 2018 Grenache Rosé from Dry Creek Valley. Dan says that Grenache gives you a red wine floral as opposed to a white wine floral. It is dry, with more than 7g of acid, it goes great with seafood. The fruit comes from Mike Saini Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, for the Grenache Rosé and red. He has a team of winemakers who are former colleagues. He uses the Healdsburg custom crush facility. Dan says the Saini family knows something about Grenache. They grow aggressively and the vines must be pruned well. "It is luxurious and beautiful," says Steve. Robert Larsen Projekt wines are available at the Larsen Projekt website. Previous vintages are mostly at restaurants. Wilabee's and Oliver's carry them retail, and the restaurants Franchetti's, Jackson's, The Pullman Kitchen and Bistro 29 also do. Robert Larsen started at Sonoma State University but before their wine business program was developed. He took an internship at Glen Ellen Winery. He still works with some people he met there. He was at Buena Vista, and also in Monterey County and Mendocino, but always came back to Sonoma County. Dan says Grenache has lower tanins and therefore more approachable wines. Demand for it is increasing and more growers are planting it. It was originally called Bonarda and was made as a blender to cut the tannins in the Malbecs in Argentina. The Bonarda is related to an Italian grape, originally. The Grenache is an offshoot variety grown in the Rhone Valley. It is the dominant grape variety in the Southern Rhone Valley and an important component in Chateauneuf du Pape. Most of the Grenache around now was planted from 1994 to 1998 or younger. They grow very tall fronds early in the growth season and you have to cut it way back. Too much fruit makes flavorless wine. The 2018 Grenache Rosé will be released in the next two weeks, on the website. The 2017 Grenache is blended with a little bit of Syrah, about 13%. Dan says this is Grenache as it wants to be, when it is a varietal. This one, from California, has lower tannins than a European variety. There are 13 legal varieties used in southern Rhone wines, which make up Chateauneuf du Pape. There are people who can not abide Cabernet Sauvignon because the tannins are too strong, so they drink Merlot instead. If you don't like bitterness in your wine, this is the wine to buy. Robert Larsen's production is small, only 250 cases of the Grenache Rosé. But he only made 75 cases of the Red Grenache.
