AgendaMark Zuckerberg faces jury in landmark trial over alleged youth harm linked to social mediaThe lawsuit, K.G.M. v. Meta Platforms, Inc., et al., was filed by a 20-year-old California woman identified by her initials. She alleges that Meta and other tech companies deliberately engineered their platforms to hook young users, contributing to her depression and suicidal thoughts, and seeks to hold them accountable.Regarding Instagram's enforcement efforts, plaintiffs asked whether Meta removed all 4 million under-13 users the company had identified on the platform in 2018. Zuckerberg responded that while the company did not remove all of them, it had implemented tools to detect and address underage accounts and was working to improve those systems.According to reports, Zuckerberg has not directly answered the central question of the case: whether Instagram is addictive. The plaintiff's attorney, Mark Lanier, asked if people tend to use something more if it's addictive. “I'm not sure what to say to that,” Zuckerberg said. “I don't think that applies here.”He said he believes in the “basic assumption” that “if something is valuable, people will use it more because it's useful to them.”When he was asked about his compensation, Zuckerberg said he has pledged to give “almost all” of his money to charity, focusing on scientific research. Lanier asked him how much money he has pledged to victims impacted by social media, to which Zuckerberg replied, “I disagree with the characterization of your question.”Zuckerberg's courthouse entourage showed up in Meta Ray-BansMeta Adding Facial Recognition to Its Smart Glasses That Identifies People in Real Time, Hoping the Public Is Too Distracted by Political Turmoil to Care MMApple sued by West Virginia for alleged failure to stop child sexual abuse material on iCloud, iOS devicesSpaceX said to weigh dual-class IPO shares to empower MuskMacron Blasts Social Media's Free Speech Defense as ‘Bullshit'The stupid (ESG edition)Goldman Sachs to Drop D.E.I. Criteria for Board Members MMThe move would be the Wall Street firm's latest retreat from diversity mandates that its chief executive, David Solomon, had once made a priority.The decision is a result of a deal that Goldman struck with the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit group that has been pressuring numerous companies to drop diversity, equity and inclusion mandates, the people said.As part of its agreement with Goldman, the National Legal and Policy Center, which has a small investment in the bank, withdrew a shareholder proposal demanding that diversity criteria for the board be dropped.In March 2019, Mr. Solomon, his top deputy John Waldron and the firm's chief financial officer at the time, Stephen M. Scherr, declared diversity and inclusion “a top priority.”“When we unite around a common goal, we make progress together,” the men wrote in an email to the staff. They said they would “improve each year” toward goals that included a new recruiting class comprising “50 percent women, 11 percent Black professionals and 14 percent Hispanic/Latino professionals in the Americas, and 9 percent Black professionals in the U.K.”The next year, Mr. Solomon said Goldman would no longer take a company public in the United States or Europe unless it had at least one “diverse” board member. By 2021, a company would need at least two diverse board members in order for Goldman to agree to work on its initial public offering.Inspire Investing CEO: Nike's DEI Is A Legal Liability, Shareholders Coming For AnswersNike's DEI fight is no longer just a social media "culture war" argument.

The defining shift was who got the job. Among incoming CEOs, 84% were serving in their first enterprise CEO role, reversing a multi-year tilt toward leaders with prior public-company experience.As recently as 2024, more than one in five new CEOs had already led a public company. That share fell sharply in 2025. Of the 140 first-time CEOs appointed, 116 had no prior enterprise CEO experience. Two-thirds had never served on a public company board, meaning many are stepping into the role without prior exposure to shareholder oversight or public company governance.CEO hopefuls have a new rival for the top job: their own board directorsAppointing board directors as CEOs was once a “break glass in case of emergency” strategy reserved for scandal, illness, or sudden resignation. While it remains a minority path compared with traditional internal promotions, it is no longer an anomaly.New data from Spencer Stuart highlights the shift. Of the 168 new S&P 1500 chief executives appointed in 2025, the highest annual total since 2010, 19 were drawn from their own company boards, the most since 2020. Spencer Stuart classifies directors as outsiders because they lack day-to-day operating responsibility. Even so, more boards are turning to them.Wall Street banks are paying their CEOs like it's 2006 againMorgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick's pay rises 32% to $45mlnBank of America Lifts Moynihan's Pay 17% to $41 Million for 2025Barclays Ceo Pay Hike: Barclays lifts CEO Venkatakrishnan's pay to over £15 million as bonus pool risesCitigroup bumps CEO Jane Fraser's pay to record $59mBro Culture (The Epstein Edition)Thomas Pritzker, Named in Epstein Files, Retires as Hyatt Executive ChairmanTom Pritzker Retires as Executive Chairman of Hyatt After 22 Years of Service and Will Not Stand for Reelection to Board of DirectorsThe Board has appointed Mark S. Hoplamazian, Hyatt's President and Chief Executive Officer, to succeed Mr. Pritzker as Chairman of the Board“Tom's leadership has been instrumental in shaping Hyatt's strategy and long-term growth, and we thank him for his service and dedication to Hyatt,” said Richard Tuttle, Chair of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. “The Board has engaged in thoughtful succession planning, and we are confident that Mark's deep knowledge of Hyatt's business, strong relationships with owners and colleagues, and proven track record as CEO of nearly two decades positions him well to serve as Chairman and continue driving Hyatt's long-term success.”In a letter to the Hyatt Hotels' Board of Directors, Tom Pritzker wrote, “My job and responsibility is to provide good stewardship. That is important to me. Good stewardship includes ensuring a proper transition at Hyatt. Following discussions with my fellow Board members, I have decided, after serving as Executive Chairman since 2004, and with the company in a strong position, that now is the right time for me to retire from Hyatt. Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret. I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner. I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell, and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims.”Dubai's DP World replaces CEO after Epstein links emergeDubai's DP World announced Essa Kazim was the new chairman of its board of directors and Yuvraj Narayan was its new group chief executive officer, replacing Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.Sulayem had been the CEO of Dubai's largest port operator since 2016 and chairman since 2007.DOJ records showed years of exchanges with Epstein, but Sulayem has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.Casey Wasserman to sell talent agency following Jefferey Epstein controversyCasey Wasserman has confirmed that he has started the process of selling his talent agency after it was uncovered that he had ties with Jefferey Epstein. The announcement comes as artists began to leave the agency after it was uncovered that the Wasserman CEO had extensive ties with Jeffrey Epstein and had sent flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. Despite denying that he had any personal or business ties with either, Wasserman sent an apology to the 4,000 employees who work at his sports marketing and talent agency, confirming that he would be stepping down from the company. He said: “I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort […] It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about.”Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner testifies in House Epstein investigationThe billionaire behind the retail empire that once blanketed shopping malls with names such as Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch told members of Congress on Wednesday that he was “duped by a world-class con man” — close financial adviser Jeffrey Epstein. Les Wexner also denied knowing about the late sex offender's crimes or participating in Epstein's abuse of girls and young women.“I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man. And while I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”Wexner described himself to the lawmakers as a philanthropist, community builder and grandfather who always strove “to live my life in an ethical manner in line with my moral compass,” according to the statement.Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign over Epstein linksThe latest Justice Department release revealed a trove of communication between the two, including about potential jobs, her romantic life and gifts Epstein had given her.

Today, we're diving into a critical issue in education: how teacher expectations, particularly for students of color, profoundly influence academic outcomes and life trajectories. Research consistently shows that lower teacher expectations can create significant, negative impacts, contributing to persistent achievement gaps.Studies reveal a stark reality: teachers often hold significantly lower expectations for Black and Hispanic/Latino students compared to their White and Asian American peers. This isn't just a slight difference; one study found that math and English teachers were more than twice as likely to perceive their class as too difficult for Black students.

BUFFALO, NY — November 5, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on September 10, 2025, titled “Longitudinal associations of epigenetic aging with cognitive aging in Hispanic/Latino adults from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.” In this study led by Myriam Fornage, from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, researchers found that faster biological aging, measured by DNA-based epigenetic clocks, is associated with greater cognitive decline and higher risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Hispanic/Latino adults. The results highlight the potential of epigenetic clocks to track changes in brain health over time, helping improve early detection and monitoring of age-related cognitive problems. Cognitive decline and dementia are major public health concerns, especially among aging populations. In this study, researchers followed 2671 Hispanic/Latino adults (average age 57; 66% women) over a seven-year period. They measured each participant's biological age using epigenetic clocks and assessed their cognitive performance at two time points. “We evaluated the associations of 5 epigenetic clocks and their between-visit change with multiple measures of cognitive aging that included a global and domain-specific cognitive function score at each visit, between-visit change in global and domain-specific cognitive function score, and MCI diagnosis at visit 2 (V2).” Epigenetic clocks estimate biological age based on DNA chemical modifications, called methylation, that accumulate with age. The study evaluated five different clocks, including newer models like GrimAge and DunedinPACE, which are designed to more accurately reflect health-related aging. The researchers found that individuals with faster biological aging showed lower cognitive function and higher probability of developing MCI over time. Among the five clocks studied, newer models such as GrimAge and DunedinPACE showed the strongest associations with memory, processing speed, and overall brain health. These findings suggest that tracking changes in biological age over time may be more effective than relying on a single measurement to identify those at risk for cognitive impairment. Importantly, the associations between biological aging and cognitive decline remained significant even after accounting for other known risk factors such as education, language preference, and cardiovascular health. This supports the idea that epigenetic clocks capture unique biological processes that influence brain aging. The study also found that the impact of changes in biological age over time was comparable to that of APOE4, a well-established genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Overall, this is the first large-scale study to examine these associations in a Hispanic/Latino population, a group that is underrepresented in aging research. By identifying early biological signs of brain aging, this work highlights the potential of epigenetic clocks as tools for routine health assessments. Monitoring changes in these biological markers could help detect individuals at risk for cognitive decline and guide timely interventions to preserve brain health.

Today on the SwimSwam Podcast we're joined by Lucas Sallas-Cunha, head coach of Quicksilver Swimming in Santa Cruz. Lucas has spent his career building champions in the pool, but his latest chapter is about something bigger: access. He recently expanded his program into Watsonville, California, a largely Hispanic/Latino community where swimming participation and water safety skills have historically been limited. To truly understand the cultural and structural barriers, Lucas earned his Doctorate in Education and centered his dissertation on the topic: “Understanding Water: Values, Viewpoints, and Behaviors That Influence Swimming Participation in Watsonville, CA.”
Welcome back to the Palm Wine Central Podcast with hosts AK, Tutu and Hannah, and special guest Kirby Lozano! This episode dives deep into the complex world of Hispanic/Latino identity and the cultural conflicts that surge around Hispanic Heritage Month.Key Discussion Points:• The "No Sabo Kid" Phenomenon: We discuss the derogatory term "no sabos" used to describe those in the diaspora, especially second and third generations, who struggle with Spanish.• Generational Language Loss: Kirby shares her personal experience as a "Chicana" (Texan of Mexican roots), addressing why many parents (including her mother's generation) chose not to teach Spanish to protect their kids from accent-based discrimination.• The Problem with Heritage Month: Is the celebration just a "US-centric" event, largely used for corporate pandering and "consumerism agenda"?• Cultural Stereotypes: We challenge myths like the origins of Cinco de Mayo (it's not Mexican Independence Day that's September 16th) and discuss the stereotype of loud parties and music ("wacky music so loud"), noting that sometimes this behavior is defended as culture. Kirby emphasizes that ultimately, the individual decides their identity, whether they claim Latino, Hispanic, or ChicanaFind our guest online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eskirbylozano/Info:

Hillsboro School District graduated more students on-time than ever in 2024, with 87.55% of seniors districtwide achieving graduation within four years of their first entry into high school. Graduation rates at two high schools, Century and Glencoe, crested the 90% threshold - a first for Glencoe and just the second time for Century since Oregon began using the cohort calculation method in 2008-09. The District's graduation rate is 5.8 percentage points higher than the state average, and 1.37 percentage points higher than last year's rate of 86.18%. Sizable gains were made in the focal group categories of Migrant and Students Experiencing Poverty, with overall increases of 7.38 and 7.03 percentage points, respectively. Meanwhile, the gap between all students and Hispanic/Latino students has shrunk to just 1.31 percentage points, which aligns with the District's strategic priority to help students achieve success that is not predictable or predetermined by their race, ethnicity, or any other identities.

Cultural incongruence and its consequences is a theme which has shaped Bernardo Cubria's work in several different ways. As an actor, in television shows like Group, his work explores what it means to be misunderstood, and delves into the epiphany which often arises when one realizes his peers' criticisms and insights, which they initially may have dismissed, may, in fact, lead to realizations about self that may significantly affect their perspective. As a playwright, it has laid the backdrop that surrounds his stories about typecasting, politics, cultural appropriation, and the trivialization of minorities in America that can be seen in works like Crabs in a Bucket, which won the 2024 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Writing; The Giant Void In My Soul, a satirical journey into fulfillment (and the lack thereof); Neighbors: A Fair Trade Agreement; and the timely portrait of electoral pregnancy in The Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/Latine Vote. His work has been awarded the Smith Prize for Political Theater and has been nominated for Stage Raw and Ovation awards. As a screenwriter, he wrote Like It Used to Be and Guerrero which Gina Rodriguez is attached to direct and star in, and he was a 2023 Sundance Screenwriters Lab fellow for the screenplay Kill Yr Idols which he cowrote. In our conversation, we discussed the interplay of the notable themes in Bernardo's projects, including Loop Group: Or Shia Lebeouf's Version, as well as being part of the writer's staff on Seasons 3 and 4 on the Apple + series, Acapulco.Opening Credits: AvapXia - Do You Still Think About Me?

In this episode of On Mission, Sarah Harrigan Scalfaro, Chris Pierno, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. are joined by Fatima Monterrubio Cruess, Resource Coordinator at the Catholic Apostolate Center, discuss Hispanic and Latino Spirituality in the Catholic Church.Fatima demonstrates how the culture and spirituality of Hispanic/Latino populations contributes to the welfare of the Universal Church. She also discusses some best practices for ministering to this community that has many different cultural practices. Fatima shows how within these communities, there are special moments of encounters with one another where individuals share common values and get to know each other more personally. On June 16, 2023, the US bishops approved a National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministry. The Plan refers to Hispanics/Latinos as a blessing from God, as a missionary and prophetic presence that revitalizes the church in the United States. A few of these graces include an abiding love for family and community, a rich practice of Catholic traditions, an authentic Marian devotion, and vibrant ecclesial movements. For the past four decades, Hispanic/Latino ministry has flourished in thousands of parishes across the country. Such ministries have produced many fruits as millions of Hispanic/Latino families have been able to live and celebrate their Catholic faith. Building on that growth, the Plan calls for a synodal church that is more welcoming, evangelizing, and missionary at all levels; a church that can build vibrant parish communities with our Hispanic/Latino brothers and sisters, in the context of a culturally diverse society.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon In Utah, Hispanics – which obviously is a very broad term – make up more than 15% of the state’s population; that makes it the second largest racial or ethnic group in the state. We’re in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month, so we take some time to discuss the growth of this community in Utah. We also share thoughts on how this group contains many diverse political views too.
Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon Democrats outspending Republicans in political advertising in Salt Lake CityNew political advertising data shows that in Salt Lake City, the Democratic Party has outspent the Republican Party by roughly $130,000. Salt Lake City is generally seen as a Democratic stronghold in Utah, so why spend more money advertising to people who will probably already vote for your candidate? We discuss this question and compare political advertising here to spending in a swing state like Arizona. Senators Lee, Romney share their thoughts on the presidential candidatesUtah’s Senators are sharing their opinions and concerns about each of the presidential candidates. Senator Lee says he’s worried about Kamala Harris’ positions on religious freedom. Senator Romney says he’s worried about Donald Trump’s potential vendetta against people who supported the investigations into January 6th. KSL at Night hosts Rusty Cannon and Leah Murry go in-depth with their thoughts. Should former President Trump agree to another presidential debate?Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has accepted an invitation from CNN to do another presidential debate on October 23rd. Republican nominee Donald Trump previously said he wouldn’t participate in another debate against Harris, but should he reconsider? A growing number of Republicans believe he should debate again. We talk about the whys behind this growing pressure. President Biden holds first cabinet meeting in nearly a yearAfter nearly a year of not holding a cabinet meeting, President Joe Biden finally held one last week. And shortly after beginning the meeting, he turned a majority of the time over to First Lady Jill Biden. This whole thing got our team wondering, “what happened that resulted in a regular meeting not happening for almost a year?” The KSL at Night hosts share some history on the cabinet and share their thoughts on the earlier question. The latest developments in the fight over access to AG Sean Reyes’ calendarAs the end of his term approaches and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes wraps up his time as the state’s top law enforcer, his office is pushing ahead with legal battles to keep the press and public from seeing his work schedule. Annie Knox and Daniella Rivera, members of the KSL Investigators have been involved in this fight for quite some time, and join us to share updates on a recent public records panel hearing. UTA working on long-term plans in preparation for the OlympicsWe’re 10 years out from the 2034 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, and there are several projects in the works between now and then. One of the projects – which is unrelated to the Olympics but will directly support it – is the double-tracking of FrontRunner. Jay Fox, Executive Director of UTA joins the program to share some updates on that project as well as several other long-range projects in the works. Examining the growth and effect of the Hispanic/Latino community in UtahIn Utah, Hispanics – which obviously is a very broad term – make up more than 15% of the state’s population; that makes it the second largest racial or ethnic group in the state. We’re in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month, so we take some time to discuss the growth of this community in Utah. We also share thoughts on how this group contains many diverse political views too. Supporting parents and children through tax policyThe Trump administration’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire in 2025 and with it, major changes will come to the child tax credit. That got us thinking about different ways the government supports parents and families. Obviously it’s not all about the government doing it, so what other kinds of resources are available? KSL at Night hosts Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray discuss.

When you look at the ethnic group that is the largest in the U.S., by far, it is the Hispanic population. As of the 2020 Census, 18% of the population was of Hispanic/Latino descent. And this number is growing. Another analysis from the U.S. Census showed that 1 in 4 children in the U.S. are Latino. As a brand, particularly if you are marketing to consumers in the U.S., know that having a sound understanding of how to market to the Latino population is increasingly becoming more important. To help you navigate how to market to this growing customer base, I sat down with Federico Gagliardone, COO at MECENAS, a minority-owned publishing and full-stack media company that connects brands with U.S. Hispanic and multicultural communities. And if you're not in the U.S. or not marketing to consumers in the U.S., this episode is still totally worth the listen, because many of the principles are applicable to underrepresented and underserved communities.

In addition to a breakthrough therapy designation for a lung cancer drug, this week we'll be talking a lot about additional side effects and health conditions that may come with a cancer diagnosis, and how to manage them. We heard from an expert about using cannabis during cancer care, took a look at a patient population that may be more prone to cardiometabolic conditions after cancer treatment and we'll highlight a study that's looking at preventing infection and GVHD in patients with blood cancer who underwent a stem cell transplant. Patients Should ‘Have the Conversation' About Cannabis With Care Teams The use of cannabis seems to be growing when it comes to mitigating side effects from cancer treatment, though it is important that patients talk to their providers if they are using these products or have questions about them, explained Dr. Brooke Worster from Thomas Jefferson University. I recently spoke to Woster about the conversations patients with cancer should be having if they're using or considering using cannabis. Namely, she discussed seeking guidance and having open discussions with the care team, but also remembering that cannabis is not a proven cure for any kinds of cancer. Drug Gets Breakthrough Therapy Designation for HER2-Mutant Lung Cancer A novel drug, BAY 2927088 received a breakthrough therapy designation for treating HER2-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. This designation, granted by the FDA, signifies a potential advancement in treatment options for patients with this specific type of lung cancer, which happens in approximately 2% to 4% of advanced NSCLC cases. Now that the drug has a breakthrough therapy designation, its review will be fast tracked. BAY 2927088, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown promising results in a phase 1 trial, with a focus on safety, efficacy and patient outcomes. The drug works by blocking HER2, which can contribute to lung cancer proliferation. Hispanic/Latino Survivors May Be Higher Risk for Cardiometabolic Comorbidities A recent study found that Hispanic/Latino cancer survivors have higher rates of cardiometabolic comorbidities — meaning health conditions that affect the heart and/or metabolic system — such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, which can complicate cancer treatment and post-treatment health management. The study showed that survivors with cardiometabolic conditions experienced lower health-related quality of life and had unmet supportive care needs, particularly in terms of emotional and physical well-being. The research also found that socioeconomic factors, such as income levels, were also linked to the prevalence of cardiometabolic conditions among Hispanic/Latino survivors, highlighting the importance of access to health care and healthy lifestyle behaviors in managing these health challenges. The study emphasized the need for holistic approaches to health that consider environmental influences and support policies promoting heart-healthy behaviors within communities. Trial Evaluates Reduced Chemo Post-Stem Cell Transplant in Blood Cancers Patients with blood cancers can talk to their cancer care team about possible enrollment in the OPTIMIZE trial, which is investigating a lower dose of post-transplant cyclophosphamide — also referred to as “PTCy” — to reduce infection risk post-stem cell transplant while preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients who underwent a stem cell transplant from a partially matched unrelated donor. This phase 2 trial aims to enroll 190 patients across cancer centers across the United States, and is expected to conclude in June 2026. By exploring reduced PTCy dosages, researchers hope to enhance patient survival and quality of life by minimizing toxicities associated with standard dosing.
