And so we arrive at a critical juncturePremiers buckling like a cyclist with a punctureFIFA takes over, Ben Stokes goes on a benderAs Aussie crickets crisis reaches a crescend..aStudio transition pains have forced our heroes into a hibernation at an inopportune time of year. Only a marginal amount of time is wasted getting asses back into gears and the Grapplers are back into it, despite dealing with a few ongoing auditory and technical pieces of evil that they can only express widespread listener apologies for. Origin is well and truly afoot and the teams are dissected with the gentle touch of a year 8 biology student tearing into an unsuspecting mouse corpse. A reverant Mt Rushmore of all time great Origin finishes takes us all down a nostalgic hallway to piece together just why this concept is so bloody enduring. The NRL is broken down into 3 convenient QLD based teams for analysis, while the FIFA world cup is analysed with the analytical depth of a petri dish by by the same year 8 kid who ripped the mouse apart a few sentences ago. Our Grapplers may have lost a bit of touch with the world game since the 2006 world cup but they will join millions of others in firing up for a foreign winner of personal choice, while riding the Socceroos as far as they can manage. And hopefully having more luck in covering it all than Somalian ref Omar Artan had getting into the host country.Elsewhere, cricket is still happening and Australia's proud history of the odd colored clothing calamity marches on in Dhaka. Amid it all, a pause, a nod, and a sincere hat tip to the Rabbitohs and NRL world for its outpouring and recognition of Jai Arrow's awful plight. In a season where the fans have been dealing with more emotionally confronting headlines than most.But there is always hope. Because there is always Grapple.

I want you to imagine you are sitting on a hard wooden bench in a packed federal courtroom, because that is exactly where the story of Donald Trump's court battles has been unfolding over the past few days. We start in New York, where the hush‑money case that once made Donald Trump the first former president ever convicted of a crime is now in a tense holding pattern. After a Manhattan jury previously found him guilty on dozens of counts related to falsifying business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign, Trump's legal team has spent the past several days pressing appellate courts to step in, arguing that his actions were political, not criminal, and that key testimony should never have been admitted. According to detailed reporting from the New York Times and CNN, lawyers have been trading briefs and appearing in hearings focused on whether the conviction should stand and what it means for a presidential candidate facing sentencing while also running for the White House again. Judges have been openly wrestling with the unprecedented mix of election politics and criminal procedure. Down in Florida, the classified documents case out of the Southern District has lurched forward in fits and starts. Over the past few days, as described by outlets like the Washington Post and Politico, special counsel Jack Smith's team has been arguing over what evidence can be shown to a jury and how to handle the mountain of secret material recovered from Mar‑a‑Lago. They have been pushing Judge Aileen Cannon to keep the trial on track, while Trump's lawyers have leaned hard on claims of presidential authority and selective prosecution, filing fresh motions to dismiss and asking for more delays. Court hearings have featured long arguments over the Presidential Records Act and how far executive power really reaches once a president leaves office. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., the federal election interference case connected to January 6 has remained entangled with questions of presidential immunity. Over the last several days, commentators from NBC News to the Associated Press have been tracking new filings where Trump's attorneys insist that almost everything he did around the 2020 election was an official act and therefore shielded from prosecution. Prosecutors have fired back, telling the judge that no president can use the Oval Office as a license to overturn an election. The Supreme Court's earlier rulings on executive power hover over every argument, and the precise wording of those opinions has been quoted and dissected in court day after day. In Georgia, the Fulton County racketeering case alleging a multi‑state conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 win continues to simmer. According to coverage by the Atlanta Journal‑Constitution, the past few days have seen more behind‑the‑scenes maneuvering than dramatic courtroom fireworks. Trump's lawyers are still pushing to sever his trial from co‑defendants, to move the case out of Fulton County, and to knock out the sweeping racketeering charge that ties the plot together. The judge has been working through a crowded motions calendar, and every decision there could change the timeline of when Trump might actually face a Georgia jury. Taken together, the last few days have not produced a single, explosive moment, but instead a drumbeat of hearings, orders, and filings in four different jurisdictions, all aimed at answering one enormous question: how do American courts hold a former president accountable while he is actively seeking to become president again? Every ruling in New York, Florida, Washington, and Georgia nudges that answer in one direction or another. Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

As oil prices surge due to the war in Iran, election candidates in New Mexico are talking about how best to use the state's boost in oil tax income. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

Members of Congress continue to intensify their investigation into the handling and release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, with lawmakers from both parties increasingly framing the issue around justice for survivors and whether the Department of Justice deliberately narrowed the scope of accountability. The ongoing congressional inquiry has focused heavily on redactions, withheld materials, and the broader question of whether powerful individuals connected to Epstein received institutional protection. Lawmakers including Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have publicly accused the DOJ of concealing names and information that they argue should have been disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Members of the House Oversight Committee have repeatedly argued that survivors were failed not only by Epstein himself, but by the system that allegedly protected associates, minimized allegations, and controlled the release of information.The congressional push has also reignited public anger over the original non-prosecution agreement and the government's handling of Epstein's broader network. Lawmakers and survivor advocates have argued that releasing documents means very little without actual accountability for those who allegedly enabled or participated in Epstein's operation. Several members of Congress have criticized what they describe as a piecemeal and overly managed disclosure process, pointing to continued redactions, missing context, and claims that investigators may have intentionally limited the blast radius surrounding the case. The broader debate unfolding in Washington is no longer just about Jeffrey Epstein as an individual predator, but about whether federal authorities protected a wider ecosystem tied to wealth, influence, and political power while survivors spent years fighting to have their voices taken seriously.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Victim or co-conspirator?

The dragon lords did gather.. authoritarian their intent Shitting out excuses.. as out Flanno went  While the kings of men and women bask upon their thronesGazing afar to a land of mist, shadow, and royal bonesFor it is in England the claim of supremacy shall be stakedA super duper investment.. as the turf underfoot doth quake..*********************Tis the winter of sporting discontent, and late is the hour of our grappling this week.A new power is rising.. and it sure as shit isn't coming from head office of St George Illawarra. The dragons bosses have given a blueprint in masterful mismanagement and have got the whole thing all sides of arse up. Flanna-gone smells a bit like a festering Ennis, and the belatedly announced Young replacement has stopped short of an AI generated image of himself as the lord and saviour in his mission to have the fire breathers soaring once more. Where was the NRL on the North Korea style press conference anyway? No one knows.England is in the crosshairs and reasonable efforts to restrict training contact to less than 100 minutes for men and 85 for women are rightly discussed as thresholds unlikely to already be widely met (and news that broke months ago for clubs) - another hat tip on actioning without action on that front.Rugby league and rugby union are enemies according to many ex players and media voices, it's a rhetoric with the same amount of damage potential as the News Corp journos mission to unseat as many coaches as possible as quickly as they can. Lomax is forcing his way into wallaby conversations, but sure guys, let's talk about the insult to both codes that he and fellow code hoppers supposedly represent. And for the love of mercy, wont someone cough up and save Moana?One of our heroes errantly fancies himself as a master tipper, the other confuses Super rugby franchises, but both speak with passion and insight that you're unlikely to have served up at the cheap buffets of mainstream press.So sizzle away grapplers, your fearless weekly smackdown shows no signs of faltering, and the crosshairs will always find their mark.Love. Live. Announce your coach. Grapple.

During an all-hands meeting earlier this year at data labeling startup Mercor, its then 22-year-old billionaire CEO Brendan Foody pulled up a slide with a single word: fraud.  An employee had embezzled company funds, he told his staff of more than 200. The person had since been fired. There would be no tolerance for this behavior, Foody said, according to four people familiar with the meeting.  Foody didn't identify the employee or disclose the amount stolen at the meeting. But Forbes has learned that the culprit was an early hire and lead manager on the Anthropic account, one of the company's most important, where Mercor's contractors create training data to help build Claude. Multiple former Mercor employees said the manager had recruited his brother and father as “experts” and sent them hundreds of thousands of dollars in so-called bonus payments. He was reported in late December after it was discovered that contractors were paid more than the amount billed to Anthropic for multiple data generation projects, two sources said. Anthropic was not aware of the incident, they added.  Mercor eventually recovered the fraudulent bonus payments and it did not end up costing customers any money, Mercor spokesperson Heidi Hagberg told Forbes. The former Anthropic account lead, whom Forbes is not identifying, declined to comment for this story. Anthropic declined to comment. By Rashi Shrivastava, Writer Anna Tong, Forbes Staff.

In this episode of War & Peace, Olga is joined by Crisis Group's head of EU affairs, Lisa Musiol, to take stock of how the EU and European capitals have responded to the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. They discuss how coordinated this response has been, the balancing act of trying to preserve the transatlantic relationship while avoiding being drawn directly into the conflict, and what lessons can be drawn for further dealings with a U.S. administration that continues to flout international law. They also examine the fallout of the war for Europe, including energy shocks and pressure on support for Ukraine, and the structural constraints that make it hard for the EU to shape major crises rather than simply react to them. Finally, they explore what role the EU and European capitals might play in post-ceasefire diplomacy with Iran, whether closer cooperation with Gulf Arab states is likely, and why, despite its limitations, the EU still matters in many crises around the world.

For the past 11 years, the state of Minnesota has officially celebrated Cesar Chavez, the iconic farm labor leader on his birthday, March 31. Until this year. Governor Walz signed a bill to repeal the holiday, weeks after The New York Times reported allegations that Chavez sexually assaulted multiple women and girls, including a co-leader of the farmworker movement, Dolores Huerta.The news has shocked and hurt many who revered Chavez, especially Latinos who are sexual assault survivors. Esperanza United is a national organization, founded in Minnesota, that is focused on ending gender-based violence in Latino communities. The organization's president and CEO, Vivian Huelgo joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about how she is approaching the day.

First, we spoke with leaders in the Chicano community about how their community is processing the rape allegations against César Chávez. As well as, how one city in Imperial County is confronting those same allegations. Then, an audit on fire-rescue response times and whether the department is meeting its goals. And, a new exhibit at the USS Midway Museum looks to highlight prisoners of war.

Northeast Ohio Iranian community members react to ongoing war, talks of a ceasefire The war in Iran began just over a month ago, when airstrikes launched by the U.S. and Israel killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had led the country for more than three decades. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was named successor soon after. At least 1,900 Iranians have been killed since the war began, according to Iran's Health Ministry. On the U.S. side, 13 service members were killed, and more than 300 have been injured. Efforts to end the conflict remain uncertain. The U.S. has proposed a 15-point ceasefire plan, but Iranian officials have rejected it, calling the terms unrealistic. Last weekend, Pakistan's foreign minister announced that his country is willing to facilitate peace talks between the two nations. But beyond the headlines, the war is being felt deeply in Northeast Ohio. The region is home to a vibrant and longstanding Iranian American community that shares its culture through traditions such as local Ramadan festivities and One World Day. This year, Cleveland also hosted its first Nowruz, or Persian New Year, celebration at City Hall. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll turn to members of that community to hear how they are processing this moment — balancing ties to their heritage, concern for loved ones abroad and life here in the U.S. Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, one of our guests will be referenced by their first name only. Guests:- Mohammad Sohrabi, Northeast Ohio Resident- Hengameh Arjomandi, MBA Candidate, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University- Manouchehr, Northeast Ohio Resident Tax deadline nears Tomorrow is April, which in addition to the anticipated "April showers," means that Tax Day is approaching on April 15 — and there are some changes to take note of. For instance, a growing number of filers are facing tax refund delays amid the Internal Revenue Service's decision to phase out paper checks. And we'll talk about the change to "no tax on tips" in which some filers will be able to deduct up to $25,000 of tips from federal income taxes.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following overnight Iranian cluster warhead fire that killed four, Horovitz discusses the complex challenge of intercepting the warheads that can fall in multiple locations. He also details the specific aspects of safeguarding Ben Gurion International Airport, which is now reducing the number of people allowed on each outgoing flight due to the fraught realities. As the war nears the end of its third week, Horovitz examines the attritional aspects of the missile attacks, as Iran and Hezbollah keep up multiple strikes. He also talks about what he regards as the existential threat posed by the Islamic Republic, as well as whether the Iranian people will rise against the regime if and when the US and Israel signal that the time is ripe to do so. Horovitz looks at the divergence in messaging from US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even as they and their militaries maintain close alignment, and whether this war will end with Iran retaining its enriched uranium stockpile and able to advance its rogue nuclear program. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Last episode we discovered the Pugilist can punch above its weight class. This episode we discovered the Pugilist can punch above the entire encounter budget. Today on RPGBOT: One character becomes a professional wrestler air-dropping enemies from low orbit One character summons eldritch tentacles to commit mathematically irresponsible violence One character crits often enough to make the Rogue question their life choices Welcome back to our D&D 5e Pugilist build guide, where "balanced combat encounter" is more of a philosophical suggestion. Show Notes In Part 2 of the RPGBOT.Podcast deep dive into the Pugilist class in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, the hosts shift from theory into practice by building actual characters and analyzing low-level combat performance (levels 1–10 gameplay). After previously discussing the core mechanics like Moxie points, exhaustion gameplay, and Haymaker damage, the episode explores how subclasses dramatically amplify the class's effectiveness, especially during tier 1 and 2 where balance matters most. Each host builds a different Pugilist archetype: A grappling-focused wrestler leveraging shove-prone and movement manipulation A spell-augmented "Hand of Dread" pugilist combining melee and warlock magic A critical-hit boxer maximizing burst damage and counterattacks The discussion highlights a major mechanical theme: the Pugilist excels at advantage generation in D&D 5e combat. By knocking enemies prone, grappling, or using subclass features, the class reliably attacks with advantage, dramatically increasing DPR (damage per round). Once Haymaker is added to the equation, damage spikes sharply. The hosts compare expected damage output to standard design math ("dude-stop damage"), demonstrating that even basic tactics can nearly reach or exceed a full party's intended damage output — especially when combining Hex, advantage stacking, and bonus attacks. The episode also examines character optimization choices such as species, feats, and ability scores. Strength and Constitution dominate builds, while backgrounds and feats further push survivability and burst damage. The result is a martial class that plays less like a traditional striker and more like a hybrid of barbarian durability, monk mobility, and rogue-style burst damage. Ultimately, Part 2 reinforces the earlier conclusion: the Pugilist's real power isn't just numbers — it's how its mechanics interact. The combination of resource refresh, exhaustion mitigation, grappling control, and burst damage allows players to reshape encounters in ways most classes simply cannot at early levels. Key Takeaways D&D Pugilist subclasses drastically increase power at levels 1–5 Grapple + shove prone creates reliable advantage in D&D combat Haymaker turns consistent hits into extreme burst damage Spellcasting options (like Hex) push DPR beyond normal martial scaling The class frequently approaches or exceeds expected 5e damage per round math Tier 1 encounters struggle against optimized Pugilist builds Strength + Constitution are the optimal Pugilist ability scores Moxie point recovery enables aggressive play every fight Exhaustion mechanics become a benefit instead of a drawback The class blends control, durability, and burst damage into one role Basic tactics alone can approach "dude-stop damage" Subclasses determine whether the Pugilist breaks balance… or demolishes it Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

In December, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule that would ban hospitals from receiving any Medicare and Medicaid funding if they offer gender-affirming care for minors. Today, Kimberly checks in with Marketplace's Samantha Fields to hear about her reporting on how this is affecting health care providers across the country. Plus, we'll get into how the proposed rule fits into a larger wave of restrictions on transgender health care, years in the making.

Send us a textWhat happens when students haven't been taught the math yet—but the task is right there waiting? In this episode, I unpack the fear many teachers feel before launching a rich task and explains why that hesitation, while understandable, often blocks the very learning we want. If you've ever wondered whether your students are “ready,” this conversation will gently shift how you think about readiness and learning.When we trust students to begin with what they know, incredible learning unfolds. Thanks for showing up for kids—and for yourself—as a math teacher willing to grow.

Locals are protesting last week's fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis, while officials wrestle with how to keep residents safe as the Trump administration continues its immigration crackdown. In Montgomery County, elected leaders are proposing a law limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. County Executive Marc Elrich joined the show to discuss the Trust Act, and how the county is working to protect its most vulnerable residents.The Trust Act extends county services to all residents regardless of immigration status and prevents local police from working with federal immigration authorities in certain circumstances, including participating in federal immigration raids. County Executive Marc Elrich said that's the extent of the county's power.“If ICE was just generally saying they're gonna go into a workplace and they get into the workplace and they're going to pull out workers, we can't intervene," Elrich said.The county council expects to vote on the Trust Act within the next few months. Plus, we discuss Elrich's plans for funding county schools and federal cuts.A D.C. Council committee released a report saying District police have lost the public's trust by not being transparent about their continued cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Judiciary and Public Safety Committee Chair Brooke Pinto is leading an effort to get clarity from interim police chief Jeff Carroll about MPD's relationship with ICE. Councilmember Pinto got behind the mic to discuss how the council is pressing District police. She said Chief Carroll's answers this week were “wholly inadequate." "The public has a right to know which federal agents are here," Pinto said. "How many arrests have been made? How many immigration-related arrests have be made? What does that level of deployment response look like?"The MPD head will need to answer these questions at a public oversight hearing set for February 25th.We also ask her about the council's process for picking its next member and the 2026 election season.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

A severe cold snap has gripped Europe, causing deadly accidents and travel chaos.  In the German capital Berlin, freezing temperatures have made the situation even worse for tens of thousands of households that have been affected by a widespread power outage since Saturday.  A suspected arson attack claimed by a left-wing group is thought to have knocked electricity offline, sparking questions over the vulnerability of Germany's wider infrastructure. 

Send us a textWhat should students actually be doing, saying, and thinking in math class? In this episode, I break down this essential question and shifts the focus away from pacing guides, tests, and compliance—and back to student thinking. If you want math class to feel alive, engaging, and meaningful, this conversation sets the stage.So how do we make this happen consistently? The answer isn't more strategies or better worksheets—it's a routine. This segment breaks down how Word Problem Workshop provides a predictable structure (Launch, Grapple, Share, Discuss, Reflect) that reliably gets students doing, talking, and thinking about math without relying on scripted lessons or high-level curriculum materials.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss three violent incidents from the weekend: the antisemitic massacre at Bondi Beach in Australia that left 15 dead and 40 wounded, the shooting at Brown University where the assailant is still at large, and the attack on U.S. troops in Syria that left two US soldiers and an interpreter dead. Then, they discuss CBS News Editor Bari Weiss' town hall event with Erika Kirk and the announcement that Kirk plans to meet privately with Candace Owens. Next, they talk about the fight over control of Warner Bros/Disney between Netflix and Paramount, and what it may mean for the future of CNN. Then finally, they discuss the release by House Democrats of new photos and images from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, including pictures of Donald Trump. And tragically, director and political activist Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered this weekend, Reiner's son is in custody, and President Donald Trump reacted with a social media post.
