The Federal Reserve is hitting pause. The Fed held interest rates steady this week after cutting rates three times since September, as policymakers weigh signs of a stabilizing job market against inflation that remains above target. Despite pressure from President Trump for more aggressive rate cuts, most Fed officials said now is the time to wait and watch the data. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what the Fed's decision means, why two governors dissented, how political pressure is colliding with central bank independence, and what investors should watch next as inflation, employment, and future rate cuts hang in the balance.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The world’s largest tech firms show no signs of easing up on AI spending, a record wave that’s propelling hardware providers like Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. That’s even as doubts persist about the staying power of artificial intelligence demand to justify all that capital. Meta Platforms Inc. alone revealed ambitions to spend as much as $135 billion this year — one of the biggest planned outlays of the business sphere. Meta, Microsoft and fellow hyperscalers such as Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc., are driving a wave of global spending on chips, servers and computers that’s firing up hardware suppliers around the world, particularly in Asia. A procession of industry linchpins’s results this week further underscored how voracious the appetite for AI hardware has grown — and how that’s likely to extend well into 2026.2) Tesla Inc. has planned $20 billion of spending this year to streamline its electric-vehicle lineup and shift resources toward robotics and AI, part of a sweeping set of changes pushing the company further from its roots as an automobile manufacturer. The capital expenditure plans laid out Wednesday – roughly twice as much as Wall Street was expecting – will support production expansion at multiple factories, scaling up the nascent robotaxi business and building out AI infrastructure. Tesla also revealed plans to discontinue the Model S and X vehicles and devote that plant capacity to building Optimus humanoid robots.3) Jerome Powell has two more opportunities to adjust interest rates before his term as Federal Reserve chair ends — and he may not need them. After the Fed kept borrowing costs on hold Wednesday, Powell talked up a “clear improvement” in the US outlook and said the job market shows signs of steadying. It signals a cautious optimism: Fed officials delivered three cuts last fall, and see nothing in the latest data to suggest more are needed to prop up the economy. Futures markets expect no shift in rates before June. By then, Powell’s term as chair will have ended and a new one should be in place — likely opening another phase of President Trump’s campaign for lower rates, which has upended the Fed over the past year. In a potential sign of what’s coming, the only two officials who voted for another cut this week were Governor Stephen Miran — on leave at the Fed from his post as a top Trump aide — and Governor Christopher Waller, one of four names on Trump’s shortlist of potential Powell successors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kevin Hincks reports from the floor of the Cboe Global Markets to talk about the Fed's 10-2 vote which kept interest rates unchanged for January. While the decision was widely expected, Kevin says the press conference with Jerome Powell "is one you'll want to watch" as it could offer a clearer economic picture and outlook for rate cuts. He later turns to the Fed's leadership with a Chair candidate yet to be named by President Trump. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

 Clark County resident Wayne Sutton was only 7 or 8 years old, he says, when his father, who worked in the logging industry, helped him buy his first chainsaw. That was 60 years ago. Today, Sutton is the founder and curator of Wayne’s Chainsaw Museum, a private museum located a few miles outside of Amboy in Clark County that is free and open to visitors by appointment.    The Columbian recently profiled Sutton and his museum which is big enough to display only about half of the 4,000 or 5,000 chainsaws he has amassed over the years and continues to collect, or have donated to him. Sutton opened the museum in 2000 when he started working for Stihl, the world’s leading maker of gas-powered chainsaws.    Sutton retired from Stihl in 2024. Although his museum boasts hundreds of models made by his former employer, it also showcases other brands and rare, decades-old examples that serve as a time capsule of the evolution of this power tool that is inextricably tied to the logging history of the Pacific Northwest. Sutton joins us to share his love of chainsaws and future plans for sharing his massive collection with more enthusiasts.

Many school leaders ask for consistency.What they're really asking is:What holds when I'm tired?In this episode of the Schools of Excellence podcast, Chanie explores why leadership often breaks down on ordinary days — not in moments of crisis — and why motivation, systems, and training alone can't carry culture, standards, or accountability.This conversation introduces one of the most important leadership distinctions:Systems create structure.Standards create clarity.Only rhythms create safety.You'll hear:Why leadership that depends on energy and motivation is unsustainableWhat rhythms are — and what they are notHow predictable patterns shape behavior more than policies or explanationsWhy teams follow what happens consistently, not what's writtenHow rhythms reduce over-functioning and restore shared ownershipWhy leaders often resist rhythms — and where real relief actually livesIf things only work when you're watching, reminding, or rescuing, this episode will help you understand why and what's missing.

Welcome back to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today we're talking about Plane of Elysium—the one afterlife that sounds so good the Dungeon Master has to invent mechanics to stop you from moving there permanently. It's paradise. Your needs are met. You're at peace. You're happy. Too happy. In fact, if you stay too long, you might fail a Wisdom save and decide adventuring, heroism, and saving the multiverse are overrated compared to eternal riverfront property and a Mai Tai. And if that sounds suspiciously like quitting D&D to live in a gated community called "Ecstasy," don't worry—we'll explain why enforced happiness, dragon shift-work, and a giant bone spine gate mean Elysium is still absolutely unhinged. Show Notes What Is Elysium? Elysium is the Neutral Good Outer Plane, positioned between the Beastlands and Arborea. It represents true contentment, rest, and fulfillment, rather than law, chaos, or moral absolutism. Souls here aren't punished, tested, or judged—they're finally allowed to relax. The Core Vibe No labor, no scarcity, no stress. Everything you need is provided. Happiness is genuine—unless you're in the gate town, where it absolutely is not. The Four Layers of Elysium Amoria Gentle meadows, forests, and idyllic towns along the River Oceanus. Every settlement somehow has riverfront property. Biomes get weirder the farther you travel from the river (plains, badlands, deserts… for reasons). Eronia Craggy mountains, harsh winters, rugged terrain. Heaven for dwarves, mountain folk, and anyone who thinks Colorado weather is "nice actually." Belierin (Bellerin) The prison layer of heaven, which is a sentence that should worry you. Holds legendary threats that couldn't be killed: hydras, ancient evils, fallen dukes of Hell. Access is restricted—mostly via the River Oceanus. Perfect setup for a level 20 "heaven jailbreak" campaign. Thalassia Endless ocean dotted with heroic islands. Where the best souls go—or where deities personally abduct you before you die because you're just that good. Eternal tropical vacation, sailing, fishing, and zero capitalism. The River Oceanus A holy river that flows through Elysium and beyond. Functions as a major planar highway connecting multiple Upper Planes. Also conveniently Hydra-proof. Who Lives Here? Guardinals (celestial animal-folk with extreme "Narnia energy") Moon Dogs (the best boys; CR 12; hunt evil; deserve all the treats) Phoenixes, because nobody here is trying to harvest them for profit Numerous deities, including Pelor, Lathander, and Shantaea Pathfinder vs. D&D Pathfinder does have an Elysium—but it's functionally closer to D&D's Arborea. Same name, wildly different vibes. The Gate Town: Ecstasy Located in the Outlands, connected to Elysium. Appears joyful, welcoming, and celebratory… because happiness is magically enforced. Suppressed emotions inevitably explode into violence. Ruled by twin dragons: The Lightcaller (gold dragon, daytime ruler) The Night Whisperer (silver dragon, nighttime ruler) Never seen together. Definitely suspicious. Key Locations in Ecstasy Philosopher's Court – a "safe" place to vent grievances that now regularly turns into Fight Club. Revelhome Inn – run by a Lawful Neutral medusa who turns problem guests into garden statues. The Bone Plinth – a giant spine you climb to reach the gate to Elysium, because nothing says "upper plane" like skeletal horror décor. Planar Mechanics Overwhelming Joy (Optional Rule): Fail repeated Wisdom saves and you refuse to leave Elysium. If forcibly removed, you'll do everything possible to return. Fear effects are weakened. Violence is rare—unless you're in Ecstasy, where it's scheduled. Key Takeaways Elysium is D&D's most tempting afterlife—and the one most likely to derail your campaign. It offers true happiness, not moral judgment or endless labor. The layered structure lets every character imagine their perfect heaven. Belierin quietly turns heaven into an endgame boss rush. Ecstasy proves that enforced happiness is way scarier than honest suffering. Overwhelming Joy is a brilliant narrative mechanic for testing player priorities. If your party reaches Elysium and leaves voluntarily, they are either heroes… or liars. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

“The Hand That Holds The Glory”Matthew 17:1-91 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

I explore how hip pain, shoulder tension, back issues, and other physical discomforts are often connected to childhood beliefs, family lineage, and unprocessed emotions rather than something we physically did wrong. I talk about what I am learning through somatic healing, sound frequency work, and subconscious exploration, and how the hips in particular can store fear, shame, lack of trust, and suppressed feminine expression.I also dive into how inherited beliefs from parents and grandparents can shape our lives, our relationships, and even the pain we experience in our bodies. I reflect on releasing shame, guilt, and outdated stories that no longer serve us, and why love, freedom, and self expression are essential for true healing. This episode is an invitation to look at your body as a messenger, identify the emotional root of pain, and begin letting go so you can move forward with more freedom, alignment, and self love on your healing journey.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Why I am sharing this episode and its deeper purpose(0:21) How emotional roots of physical pain show up in the body(3:23) My personal healing journey while in Costa Rica(8:33) How ancestral and family beliefs impact the body(11:52) Releasing emotional pain through awareness and healing(16:16) Final thoughts encouragement and your healing invitation

Loneliness keeps rising even as our screens glow brighter, and we wanted to understand why—and what to do about it. We start by reordering the foundations of daily life: God first, then spouse, then family and neighbor. That simple hierarchy changes how we spend time, handle stress, and make sacrifices. Proverbs 5 calls husbands and wives to mutual faithfulness that is lived, not just promised. Matthew 17 reminds us that a mustard seed of faith can move the mountains in our homes and hearts, while a coin in a fish's mouth shows how God provides in the most practical moments. Psalm 22 gives voice to anguish without giving up on trust.From the personal we zoom out to the civic. We honor James Brady's Medal of Honor courage, then look to John Adams' stark warning about unrestrained democracy: passion without guardrails can turn into a mob. We examine how erasing uncomfortable history—whether French terrors, totalitarian purges, or our own national failures—only blinds us to the lessons that keep a republic healthy. Facing the record honestly strengthens love of country because it anchors hope in truth rather than myth.This conversation aims to equip you with grounded steps: choose people over pixels, set a clear order in your home, practice small daily acts of love, read hard history with open eyes, and cultivate a faith that acts. If this resonates, share it with someone you care about, subscribe for more faith-and-history episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Wisconsin Maritime Archeologist Tamara Thomsen made the initial discovery and has been on the forefront of the work to preserve the canoes. She chats with host Bianca Martin and about the significance of the findings, the process of uncovering and preserving these artifacts, the historical context with local tribes, and other maritime archeological work in Wisconsin's waterways.

In Virtue Holds the Shape, we continue our exploration of attachment, turning our attention to the subtle, often unseen forces that shape us in relation to others.Our conversation is anchored in Arthur Schopenhauer's quote: “What warmth is to wax, politeness is to human nature.” We stay with this metaphor as a lens on influence and responsiveness. How do the small gestures of social interaction mold our connections? When does this shaping support and sustain, and when does it begin to constrain or confine?Drawing on personal reflection, we look into attachment through familiar relational roles and invite a partner-based, art-focused exploration. In this practice, you alternate between leading and following, sensing how it feels to guide and to be guided.We reflect on whether our politeness is merely a surface layer—performative, shaped by social expectation—or whether it expresses something deeper, rooted in our values and virtue. Ideally, politeness conveys genuine care and shapes our connections meaningfully. How do you recognize in yourself when politeness is authentic or how does this resonate with you?We invite you to listen and engage with the creative exercise with curiosity and mindful presence.With care,Valentine & RebeccaPhoto credit Ivana Dostálová, Traces of The Unseen, 2025Music credit Andy Gallery@safespaces.art @bellavalentinaart @studio.rb_mindful.artswww.safespaces.artArt Connect Society z.s.Support the show
