Social Security is heading toward a critical deadline: without action, the Trust Funds are projected to run dry by 2032, triggering an automatic 22% benefit cut that could cost a typical retired couple roughly $18,500 a year. In this conversation, Brett Loper, Executive Vice President for Policy at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, breaks down what's driving the shortfall—an aging population and a worker-to-retiree ratio falling from 4-to-1 to just over 2-to-1—and why the program's original design is under strain. Drawing on the successful 1983 Greenspan Commission fix, Loper explains how the challenge can be solved with practical, bipartisan solutions.

De redactie van DS Vandaag heeft twee weken vakantie. Maar geen nood. In periode kunnen jullie luisteren naar twee sterke reeksen. Deze week is het 'Loopje met de Wetenschap'. Daarin zoeken wetenschapsjournalisten Maxie Eckert en Dries De Smet uit of lopen echt gezond is, of fancy schoenen beter zijn, en waarom je sneller wordt door trager te lopen. Aflevering 1: In deze eerste aflevering zoeken ze uit of extra krachttraining nodig is als je toch al gaat lopen. De laatste jaren heeft iedereen de mond vol van krachttraining als dé manier om je lichaam fit en sterk te houden. Maar doe je als loper niet al genoeg voor je gezondheid? Of loont het om naast het lopen extra krachtoefeningen te doen? En zo ja, welke? Lopen was nog nooit zo populair. Maar doen we dat eigenlijk wel goed? In een nieuw seizoen van de podcast “Loopje met de wetenschap” zoeken wetenschapsjournalisten Maxie Eckert en Dries De Smet uit wat er waar is van de vele adviezen die over hardlopen de ronde doen. Wil je weten waar Maxie en Dries het in de andere afleveringen over hebben? Als abonnee kun je de volledige reeks nu al beluisteren in de luisteromgeving van de app van De Standaard.

Het is nog maar 1 dag tot het 70e Eurovisie Songfestival in Wenen écht begint en wij hebben geen tijd om bij te komen. De turquoise loper was intens, de interviews staan (zometeen) op YouTube en ondertussen stapelt het Songfestivalnieuws zich alweer op. In deze aflevering bespreken GJ Kooijman en Marco Dreijer wie schitterde op de loper, wie de plank missloeg en waarom Noorwegen zijn act wat moet aanpassen. Ook Malta kreeg een tik op de vingers en door een groot artikel van de NY Times staat de EBU staat opnieuw in een wat ongelukkig daglicht en krijgen we weer een inkijkje van de activiteiten van Israël afgelopen jaar. Verder kijken we vooruit naar een belangrijke dag: de eerste repetitie vanuit de zaal én de eerste juryshow, waar de eerste punten van Eurovision 2026 dus al worden uitgedeeld.

At The Seattle Times, an AI tool identified a new prospect and helped close additional ad revenue in a single day. The Seattle Times is one of 11 news organizations participating in the Lenfest AI Collaborative and Fellowship Program, funded by OpenAI and Microsoft. Through this initiative, AI engineering fellow Rajesh Barade worked with the advertising team to address their challenges and developed a prospecting agent. This tool enables sales representatives to enter a category or focus area, identify businesses spending in that market, find decision-makers, access advertising spend data, and generate personalized outreach.The Seattle Times deliberately began its AI efforts in advertising rather than the newsroom. Early successes helped build momentum across the organization. This led to listening tours across finance, HR, and eventually the newsroom, where a municipal meeting listening tool is now in development.This week on Newsroom Robots, host Nikita Roy speaks with Kati Erwert, Senior VP of Product Marketing and Public Service at The Seattle Times, and Tristan Loper, Head of National Programs at the Lenfest Institute, to explore how the prospecting agent works, why starting in advertising was key to unlocking organization-wide adoption, and what it takes to turn early AI successes into lasting capability.In this episode:02:07 — How The Seattle Times built internal momentum for AI adoption05:51 — What the Lenfest AI Collaborative is and how it works09:29 — Inside the prospecting agent: how a sales rep closed business in one day14:11 — Why starting with advertising drove cultural change across the organization17:07 — The buy vs. build decision in a fast-moving AI landscape19:03 — How open-source code sharing works across the 11-newsroom cohort24:44 — Building the municipal meeting listening tool and beyond37:07 — Navigating the tension of blocking AI bots45:47 — How smaller newsrooms can get started with AI todayThis episode of Newsroom Robots is supported by The Lenfest Institute for Journalism.

De week vloog voorbij – en de royals ook, want in Lech wordt nog volop geskied. Rick en Odilia nemen ondertussen plaats op het bankje in de Champagne Lounge van Hotel Des Indes bespreken het koninklijke nieuws van de week. Van prinses Margriet in Katwijk tot tradities in België, van de eeuwige kwestie rond prins Andrew tot een mogelijk bezoek van Willem-Alexander en Máxima aan Amerika. En waarom draagt Kate ineens alleen nog oude kleding? Ook duiken we in koninklijke tradities: een verloren bruidsboeket van koningin Elizabeth, de doopjurk die al generaties meegaat – en een verrassende prinses die binnenkort in Den Haag opduikt. Siri-wie? Nee, niet die van je telefoon…
Join us as Eric Hovind sits down with Nate Loper for one of the most important conversations yet on dinosaurs and human history. Did dinosaurs live at the same time as people? That question has been buried under decades of confusion, sensational claims, and weak evidence that critics love to attack. In this episode, we do something different. We sort the good evidence from the bad. Nate will walk through what actually holds up under scrutiny, what should be discarded, and why having a biblical worldview does not mean clinging to poor arguments. Truth does not need padding. We will examine historical accounts, fossil data, ancient artwork, and biblical history to show why the idea of humans and dinosaurs living together is not fantasy, but a serious and defensible position when the evidence is handled honestly. This episode is about building a faith that is confident, credible, and rooted in both Scripture and reality, not in exaggerated claims that weaken the message. Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/did-dinosaurs-live-with-man-creation-today-show-464/ Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.

Canyon Ministries exists to help people encounter God in the outdoors, using places like the Grand Canyon as living classrooms. Through guided hikes, rim walks, backpacking trips, river adventures, and outdoor teaching experiences, they invite people to slow down, look closely, and reconnect with their Creator. While Canyon Ministries is known for thoughtful creation apologetics, their deeper aim is relational—helping guests experience awe, ask honest questions, and recognize that nature is not just something to admire, but a place where God speaks. Whether someone comes curious, skeptical, or already grounded in faith, the goal is the same: to foster meaningful moments in wild places where hearts are stirred, faith is strengthened, and people walk away more aware of God's presence than when they arrived. Nate Loper is an outdoor educator, speaker, and veteran Grand Canyon guide with decades of experience helping people connect faith, science, and the natural world. He has spent years teaching in some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth, with the Grand Canyon serving as his primary classroom. Known for his clear communication and grounded approach, Nate blends geology, history, and Scripture in a way that is accessible, thoughtful, and rooted in real-world observation. Nate has played a central role in the growth and mission of Canyon Ministries, serving in leadership and guiding roles while helping shape its vision, teaching philosophy, and outdoor programs. Through leading and developing daily rim tours, inner-canyon hikes, multi-day backpacking trips, and Colorado River expeditions, he has helped thousands experience the canyon not just as a scenic wonder, but as a place that points clearly to the Creator. Beyond apologetics and geology, Nate's heart is for people. His work with Canyon Ministries has always emphasized relationship—creating space in the outdoors for honest questions, quiet reflection, and moments where God's presence feels unmistakably close. Whether standing on the rim at sunrise or sitting in a chair circle along the river, Nate sees the outdoors as one of the most powerful settings for spiritual clarity, renewal, and growth. www.canyonministries.org www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

I recently spoke with Sam Bernstein, co-founder of Loper, a free mobile app designed to help students explore and discover their best educational opportunities after high school. The inspiration for Loper came out of the pandemic, where “life on pause” led to two college friends (Sam and his co-founder Eric) spending long nights discussing their shared passion: education. Fast forward two years and they quit their jobs to launch Loper, which has now helped nearly 200,000 students find best-fit opportunities after high school. Since founding Loper Sam has spoken at nearly a dozen industry conferences, and he always loves the opportunity to present to both students and parents on college and career readiness. Sam lives in Chicago, loves to bike, and (so far) has kept up with his 2025 resolution to read more fiction. In our conversation, Sam and I discussed: How students can use the Loper app to discover their best fit college How parents can use the app to help their student better manage the college planning process How counselors can use Loper to help their students with the college process And much more… To learn more about Loper, go to getloper.com or download the app for free. ---------- Start your scholarship journey this summer with the Scholarship Summer Camp.

In a process with as many steps as choosing, applying to, and being accepted at a target higher education institution, small improvements in efficiency at any point can compound dramatically for both applicants and admissions offices. Amy and Mike invited ed tech entrepreneur Sam Bernstein to explore the current state of AI and the college admissions process. What are five things you will learn in this episode? How is AI changing the way students search for colleges and navigate the application process? How should students and parents be using AI in the college process—and where should they draw the line? What AI-powered tools should parents, counselors, and IECs be aware of? How can counselors use AI to manage caseloads more efficiently while maintaining a personal touch?

Fast forward two years, and they quit their jobs to launch Loper, which has now helped nearly 200,000 students find best-fit opportunities after high school. Since founding Loper, Sam has spoken at nearly a dozen industry conferences, and he always loves the opportunity to present to both students and parents on college and career readiness. Sam lives in Chicago, loves to bike, and (so far) has kept up with his 2025 resolution to read more fiction. His favorite podcast is “Revolutions” by Mike Duncan. Sam has previously appeared on the podcast in episode 360 to discuss FINDING YOUR COLLEGE FIT. The best place to connect with Sam is on LinkedIn.

Think college searches have to be boring and overwhelming? Think again! In this episode, I sit down with Sam Bernstein, co-founder of the Loper app, to talk about how gamification is shaking up the college search process. We all know that researching colleges can feel like an endless, stressful task for students and for you as counselors trying to guide them. But what if there was a way to make it engaging, intuitive, and even FUN? That's exactly what Sam and his team set out to do with Loper, and he's here to share how it's helping students take charge of their college exploration in a whole new way.Sam breaks down how Loper's game-inspired design hooks students from the start with a swipe-based interface and chat-style onboarding…no intimidating college lists or endless research required. Instead of feeling pressured to have everything figured out, students can explore schools in a way that feels natural and exciting. Whether they're hyper-focused on college, just starting to think about it, or completely unsure of their next step, Loper meets them where they are. And here's what else caught my attention—Loper isn't just about four-year colleges. Sam shares how they're expanding the app to include two-year programs, trade schools, and other postsecondary paths, giving students a bigger picture of what's possible. This episode is packed with guidance on how you, as counselors, can use technology to make the college search process more accessible and less overwhelming. After listening, download the app (it's free!) and take a look around. I know you'll enjoy the conversations it sparks with your students!Resources Mentioned: College Readiness PlaylistLoper AppLead for AmericaLeave your review for High School Counseling Conversations on Apple PodcastsConnect with Lauren:Sign up for the free, 3-day prep for High School Counseling Job Interviews https://counselorclique.com/interviewsVisit my TpT store https://counselorclique.com/shopSend me a DM on Instagram @counselorclique https://instagram.com/counselorcliqueFollow me on Facebook https://facebook.com/counselorcliqueSend me an email mailto:lauren@counselorclique.comJoin the Clique Collaborative http://cliquecollab.comFull show notes on website: https://counselorclique.com/episode157
This litigation update will discuss the United Natural Foods case, where a new National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Acting General Counsel ordered the withdrawal of a Complaint issued against two unions, which occurred shortly after President Biden removed former General Counsel Peter Robb in January 2021. After the Supreme Court eliminated Chevron deference in Loper […]
The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Chevron deference has significant implications for many industries. The change in an agency's authority to interpret ambiguous statutes might affect many businesses, especially those in highly regulated sectors. In this episode, members of Brownstein's legal and policy teams explore the possible consequences of this decision and discuss potential remedies for clients who believe they have been adversely affected by regulatory overreach.
Federal regulations shape the workplace environment daily. With the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine, the Court's ruling in the Jarkesy decision, and the anticipated return of the Trump administration in January 2025, businesses face a dynamic regulatory landscape. These developments and ongoing challenges to federal agency authority could significantly impact employers.

In today's episode because we are getting into another hot topic amongst families and the play and education industries in general and that is the concept of Microschools. Now by definition, a Micro-shcool is a small, independent learning community that typically serves a limited number of students. These schools are characterized by personalized, student-centered education that is often tailored to the needs, interests, and pace of the individual students.Sydney Loper, owner of Cultivate Studio is one of my OG Play Cafe Academy– i helped her open her doors was back in 2019- so this interview is even nearer and dearer to my heart than normal. During and after the pandemic, though, Sydney felt like she was being called to a different business model. In this conversation Sydney is going to share why she made this pivot, how she got started, what needed to change about her space in order to make this shift possible, what her day to day and family life looks like now compared to when she was an indoor playground owner, what this pivot has meant for her financially, how her school and team have grown over the last 3 years of running her programs, what skills were able to really translate from play cafe ownership to Microschool ownership, and what she loves most about operating a Microschool. She is also going to share some of the mistakes she made along the way and tons of advice for anyone feeling Microschool curious or similarly called to this model .EDITORS NOTE: I incorrectly referred to Sydney's business as Cultivate Academy in the introduction and outro of this episode- my apologies!

The recent SCOTUS Loper Bright decision, the FTC's final rule banning non-competes, and ongoing litigation may present significant challenges for employers enforcing non-compete agreements.
The NLRB stands out from other administrative agencies due to its quasi-judicial nature. It doesn't just issue decisions; it also has rule-making powers. The agency's decisions are often given great deference. Will the Loper Bright decision make it easier for employers to challenge Board regulations?
Many entrenched U.S. federal agency regulations have existed for decades. However, the United States Supreme Court's decision to end the Chevron doctrine exposed a governmental fault line, which may have far-reaching implications for employers.
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down what is known as the "Chevron deference" rule. This rule help the administrative state or the "deep" state explode in both size and interference in our lives, personal and business. Many liberal scholars are scared of the Court's ruling. But this ruling will start, over time, to make the administrative state more accountable to Congress and less influential in our lives. It does not, as some radicals claim, destroy rules like the Clean Water Act rules, or Clean Air rules, but will simply make them subject to judicial review.
Our friend, the head Loper returns to our show to discuss their spring, heading into week two.
Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court term. Then, they're joined by litigator Mark Bankston who has a special announcement! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on our 45-day reprieve from a government shutdown, the ongoing chaos among the House GOP despite that, Gov. Newsome's disappointing unilateral action, Donald Trump's fraud case, and labor action nationwide, before parsing through commentary on the House GOP's absurd power struggle. Ian Millhiser then joins, diving right into this Supreme Court term's primary challenges to the administrative state – namely Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo – exploring the lasting governance of the Chevron Doctrine's deference to government agencies, and the sudden emergence of the anti-democratic “Major Questions Doctrine” that the Court has been using to undermine any “major” decisions by government agencies (including student debt reform). After parsing through the evolution of these two doctrines (and the jurisprudence backing them up) and how Loper might see SCOTUS move onto the “Micromanaging Questions Doctrine,” Millhiser walks Sam and Emma through the radicalization of the US' 5th Circuit over the Donald Trump administration, exploring how the GOP was able to blockade Obama's appointments and confirm Trump's en-masse. Wrapping up, Ian, Sam, and Emma tackle the far-right decisions coming out of the 5th Circuit, and what (if anything) the Supreme Court will do to keep their underlings in line. After Sam and Emma quickly parse through Jamaal Bowman's ongoing Congressional debacle, they're joined by Mark Bankston to discuss his representation of Ben Brody in a defamation case against Elon Musk, parsing through the issue at hand, what libel cases entail, and the vast damages that can come from the abuse of one's public station. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle the madness surrounding the still-impending government shutdown, dive a little deeper into the unsurprisingly racist coverage of Jamaal Bowman… pulling a fire alarm, and assess Biden's recent statement on the Civil Rights Act. Next, they dive deep into Gavin Newsom's astounding decision to name Laphonza Butler – a fundraiser who's never held public office – to Dianne Feinstein's Senate Seat over the over-deserving Barbara Lee, before Owen from LA helps parse through Butler's past, Dan from CA provides some good ol' unproductive libertarian debate, and Hannah from San Diego dives into the absurdity of the rental market as a military-civilian.
