The Packers head into a pivotal Week 16 matchup against Chicago with an injury report that reads like a horror novel. Josh Jacobs, Evan Williams, and Zach Tom haven't practiced all week, while Jaden Reed missed Wednesday for a personal matter that has everyone holding their breath. The good news? Christian Watson and Devonte Wicks upgraded to limited participation, and Jordan Love is full go. On the Bears side, the situation is equally brutal. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden haven't practiced, DeAndre Swift was added with a groin injury, and Tremaine Edmunds is racing the clock to return from IR. This game may come down to whoever has more bodies standing Saturday. The episode dives deep into Alex Kemp's officiating crew, which ranks second in offensive holding calls and has favorites going an absurd 27-3 straight up since 2024. Special teams penalties are also a concern with this crew ranking fourth in that category. The highlight of the show is an extended breakdown of the Chicago Bears' stadium catastrophe. After years of failed negotiations, Governor Pritzker told the Bears their project won't be a priority in 2026. Chicago doesn't want them. Arlington Heights is bleeding them dry on taxes. Now they're eyeing Northwest Indiana, where a newly created sports commission is rolling out the red carpet. The contrast is staggering: Illinois demands $500 million in old debts while Indiana offers $500 million in building funds. Welcome to Gary, Caleb Williams.

Laurence & Big Ant Herron were joined by WGN & former NFL running back Jarrett Payton who talked Bears vs. Packers and the news that the team is considering Northwest Indiana as a stadium sight.

Four days before Christmas in 1992, two sisters, nine-year-old Nicole Schoo and four-year-old Diana, knocked on a neighbor's door in Chicago. They were freezing, frightened, and completely alone. Their parents had boarded a plane to Acapulco for a nine-day vacation, leaving the girls behind with frozen meals, written instructions, and no adult supervision.As days passed, the situation inside the house spiraled. A blaring fire alarm and an overflowing bathtub finally forced the children to call 911. What police found shocked the nation. There was no babysitter, no emergency contact, and no way for the girls to reach their parents. Investigators soon learned this was not a mistake. The children had been intentionally left alone.When David and Sharon Schoo returned from their tropical trip, police arrested them at the airport. As the case unfolded, allegations of prior neglect and abuse emerged, raising serious questions about how the family had gone unnoticed for so long.The fallout changed the law. Public outrage led Illinois to pass the Home Alone Bill, clearly defining when children can legally be left unsupervised. Nicole and Diana were removed from their parents' custody, later adopted, and have remained out of the public eye ever since.This is the real life Home Alone case that ended with a law meant to protect children nationwide.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Colleen Joyce discuss:Failing fast while managing riskBuilding a competitive legal practice intentionallyTreating sales as listening and diagnosisLeading and adapting for the future of law Key Takeaways:Test ideas quickly and learn from small, recoverable failures.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! In these final festive weeks of the year, Leslie Segrete and Jim Kenzie delve into essential winter home projects, share crucial safety tips, and continue to answer your calls. Join us for these home improvement topics and expert DIY answers! - Tips for Hanging Holiday Lights: We discuss the simplest and safest ways to hang holiday lights, both indoors and out, without damaging your home. You should use damage-free hardware like gutter clips for the exterior or removable adhesive hooks and suction cups indoors, specifically avoiding damaging staples, nails, or drilling. - Winter Safety Checks: We share important early winter safety checks to keep your home and family protected through the cold weather months. This includes testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, checking the charge and expiration dates on fire extinguishers, and cleaning lint buildup from dryer vents. - Décor Tricks to Warm Up Your Space: To instantly warm up your space for the holidays without a full redesign, we suggest simple décor tricks. Focus on adding texture through chunky throws and faux fur, switch out harsh overhead lighting, and create small, inviting winter vignettes. - Insulation in Older Homes: When improving efficiency in older homes, we recommend focusing on the attic insulation and floor insulation before focusing on the walls.   Q & A: - Pete in Arizona called about his 18-year-old tar patio roof, which was cracking and missing pieces, and asked if he should repair it using Flex Seal. We explain that patching would only postpone the inevitable, as the roof was likely past its expected lifespan, and recommend installing a new roof. - Diane in Minnesota asked for help with her apartment bathroom exhaust fan, which was failing to effectively remove steam. She should contact her building super to determine where the fan exhausts, as the vent may be obstructed or blocked, preventing it from functioning correctly. - Brad in Illinois was renovating his 1948 bungalow and wanted advice on whether to repair and restore his original single-pane, double-hung windows or replace them. We offer the choice of restoring them by adding weather stripping and installing storm windows or opting for replacement windows that fit inside the existing frame. - Kenny in Ohio asked for advice regarding the visible outlines of his ceiling joists on his downstairs ceiling. We confirm that it's “ghosting” and recommend sealing the area by priming and painting with a good-quality, washable ceiling paint.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

What happens when emotional stress shows up not just in our hearts, but in our bodies? Adrienne explores the powerful connection between emotional climate, physical tension, and spiritual resilience through a Jewish lens. Drawing from personal experience, Jewish wisdom, and contemporary insights, Adrienne reflects on how stress, grief, and inner “cold” can cause us to hunch, brace, and armor ourselves, physically and emotionally. Set against the backdrop of winter and the light of Hanukkah, this episode invites you to consider how we guard our own inner light while tending to our families and communities. A quiet call to unclench, to breathe, and to remember that preserving your own light is not selfish, it is sacred work.   The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois.

Mary Beth Berkoff, age 82, founded her own PR company in her late 50s—and she still knows how to spotlight what's good. Long before that, she was a teacher, an injury-prevention pioneer, and a public-affairs leader who helped pass Illinois's seatbelt and child-restraint laws. Those roles taught her resilience, resourcefulness, and, as she likes to say, that “if you can teach junior high students, you can do anything.”Today, that same spirit infuses her life at The Admiral at the Lake, a continuous care retirement community in Chicago, where her gift for connecting people enriches both her days and those around her.Widowed in recent years, Mary Beth says that loss has both challenged and affirmed the words she lives by: “There is always something good around the next corner… I don't stay defeated… I believe my life will continue to be great; I just need to do the work.”“There is no lonely where I live in community with other interesting and welcoming people.” - Mary Beth BerkoffConnect with Mary Beth:  Email: mbberkoff@mac.com  www.theadmiral.orgRecognizing the Age-Wise CollectiveWomen Over 70 is a proud member of the Age-Wise Collective, comprised of women-led podcasts that feature stories from women 50+ and topics that promote the pro-aging movement.Meet Suzy Rosenstein, podcast host of Women in the Middle: Loving Life After 50.

As the author of the Confined Space newsletter and an expert with decades of experience, Barab offered a detailed perspective on the underfunding of OSHA, the enforcement process of safety laws and the real stories behind workplace fatalities. Illinois Economic Policy Institute economist Frank Manzo appeared on this edition of the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss a study on the state's pre-apprenticeship programs. Highlighting years of research, Manzo broke down how these initiatives, supported by both federal and state investments, are creating skilled labor pipelines, transforming lives and boosting economic returns in Illinois. His insights shed light on the success of these programs in attracting women and minorities to construction careers, as well as why they're garnering attention from policymakers and other states.

Hour 4 opens with traffic and local updates, including a procession for a fallen St. Charles County paramedic and the ongoing manhunt near Brown University, Rhode Island, where the hosts criticize local authorities' handling of the situation. The discussion moves to media coverage of the Trump administration, with Caroline Leavitt and Candace Owens commenting on Vanity Fair and insider reporting. Jimmy Failla from Fox Across America joins to provide insight on White House dynamics, political strategy, and upcoming events, including his appearance at the Factory in Chesterfield. The hour then shifts to economic news with Taylor Riggs analyzing jobs reports, wage growth, and the impact of federal and state tax policies, highlighting gains for native-born workers and challenges for EV manufacturers like Ford. The hour closes with a discussion on the anti-Semitic attack in Australia, emphasizing national security, ISIS-inspired terrorism, and the importance of rigorous immigration and vetting policies, contrasting these with local policies in Illinois under JB Pritzker.

Taylor breaks down the latest labor market trends, highlighting gains for native-born workers under the current administration and rising wages that are finally outpacing inflation. She examines real-time employment data, CEO confidence, and potential impacts on consumers, including upcoming tax returns. Taylor also discusses how some states, like New York, California, and Illinois, are blocking federal tax benefits on tips and Social Security, effectively reducing take-home pay. She closes with a look at the Ford EV truck cancellation, criticizing both government mandates and corporate miscalculations in the EV market.

Escape with us to the eucalyptus and redwood grove of Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove in San Francisco — home of the iconic Stern Grove Festival — as we sit down with the festival's Marketing Director, Molly Fremgen. We learn about the magic behind this beloved concert series, now entering its 89th season in 2026, and the legacy of Stern Grove Festival as the nation's longest-running nonprofit music festival — bringing free live music to the Bay Area since 1938. We dive into the nuts and bolts of producing a large-scale nonprofit concert series, from the challenges of live events to the creative solutions that keep the festival thriving. Molly talks about the pride the team takes in stewarding Stern Grove's legacy, and how the organization uses its platform to support the broader live music and local business community in San Francisco. Molly also traces her path into live events — from producing a music festival while studying at the University of Illinois, to roles at MTV, AEG, Goldenvoice, and on the PR team at Coachella. We learn about Molly's 500 mile hike of the infamous Camino de Santiago in Spain which happened at a crossroads in her career and helped guide her to her current dream role, and how her goalkeeping and manifesting has steered her to achieve career and personal goals.

People in Illinois aren't able to save a lot of money, and part of the reason is the state's refusal of Federal Reforms which are affecting many red states now.

Greg Bishop discusses the enactment of a bill Gov. J.B. Pritzker says ushers in a world class mass transit system. Opponents say the measure allows for increased taxes and tolls, while also diverting road fund money away from downstate. Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_6e028b31-4a06-402e-9da3-0ceac33bdf41.html Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Two Onc Docs, hosted by Samantha A. Armstrong, MD, and Karine Tawagi, MD, is a podcast dedicated to providing current and future oncologists and hematologists with the knowledge they need to ace their boards and deliver quality patient care. Dr Armstrong is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis. Dr Tawagi is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois in Chicago. In this episode, OncLive On Air® partnered with Two Onc Docs to highlight chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) updates from the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting. Drs Armstrong and Tawagi noted that CLL is typically diagnosed in asymptomatic, elderly individuals presenting with lymphocytosis. A definitive diagnosis is established by confirming the clonality of circulating B lymphocytes via immunoglobulin light chain restriction on flow cytometry, they explained. Treatment initiation is reserved for active disease, which is indicated by B symptoms, progressive cytopenias, threatened organ function, or bulky disease such as splenomegaly, they said. They continued by reporting several prognostic features that denote poor outcomes. Current standard frontline regimens use covalent BTK inhibitors or time-limited targeted regimens that include venetoclax (Venclexta), often combined with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, according to the experts. They added that TKI-based therapy is preferred for patients with high-risk features. The phase 3 BRUIN CLL-313 trial (NCT05023980) investigated pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca), a highly selective noncovalent BTK inhibitor, compared with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) in patients with treatment-naive CLL. The trial showed a significant improvement in progression-free survival with pirtobrutinib vs BR. Pirtobrutinib was also associated with a favorable safety profile, with modest rates of class-associated toxicities, including all-grade bleeding, arthralgia, and atrial fibrillation. Although pirtobrutinib showed superior efficacy in BRUIN CLL-313, the clinical interpretation of these data is complicated because BR is an outdated control arm compared with contemporary frontline standards, Armstrong and Tawagi emphasized. Furthermore, the requirement for indefinite therapy with BTK inhibitors is a sequencing challenge, particularly as pirtobrutinib is currently approved in the post-covalent BTK inhibitor setting, they continued. However, its favorable toxicity profile suggests potential utility in elderly patients with pre-existing cardiovascular comorbidities, they noted. Future studies are focused on comparing pirtobrutinib vs time-limited venetoclax and evaluating various triplet regimens, they concluded.

Joe Pags draws a stark, jaw-dropping contrast between legacy media spin and real journalism, highlighting the wildly different treatment of former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre versus current press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The difference is so blatant it prompts Pags to issue a clear warning: be very careful where you get your news.

Then Tricia McLaughlin, DHS spokesperson, joins the show for a powerful interview. After facing credible threats against her and her family for enforcing the law, she explains what's really happening inside DHS.
