Pregnancy and infancy are critical periods in children's development and are also the most economically vulnerable times for families. Rx Kids is a public health initiative addressing this dilemma for families in Michigan with a bold approach: It gives moms $1,500 during pregnancy and $500/month for their baby's first six months-no strings attached. Announced in early July, Cleveland has been selected as the first expansion site outside of Michigan.rnrnFounded by Dr. Mona Hanna and Luke Shaefer, Ph.D., Rx Kids is the nation's first-ever community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription program. Launched in 2024 and serving more than 15,000 families, the public health intervention is built upon the principle of trusting mothers. It focuses on improving birth outcomes, increasing food and housing stability, and providing every child a healthy start in life. Now, a new study has found that neonatal mortality-the death of an infant within the first 28 days of life-fell by nearly 50% in Flint following the launch of Rx Kids.rnrnDr. Mona Hanna is the Director of Rx Kids and Associate Dean for Public Health at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. In 2026, Dr. Hanna was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in Health for her work leading Rx Kids. She was also named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World and recognized as one of USA Today's Women of the Century for her role in uncovering the Flint water crisis and leading recovery efforts.

Learn whether the "7% rule" for prioritizing debt payoff over investing applies to your mortgage. Plus: why your grocery bill keeps climbing. Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola talk with Max, a product designer in Portland who was laid off from his tech job earlier this year, about whether the so-called "7% rule" applies to something as big as a mortgage. They dig into when refinancing a 7.2% mortgage actually makes sense, why Max shouldn't wait to pay off his home before investing, whether to grow his emergency fund from six months to nine given the volatility in tech hiring, and how much cash is too much to hold outside the market. Then, NerdWallet's Anna Helhoski talks with David Ortega, a professor of food economics and policy at Michigan State University, about why grocery prices haven't come down even as inflation cools. Ortega explains that food prices are still more than 30% higher than before the pandemic, why eggs, beef and tomatoes have moved so differently in price, and how grocery chains' growing use of dynamic, airline-style pricing could shape what shoppers pay next.

There are so many ways to grade students. You can avoid zeros, use a standards-based approach, allow iteration, tweak your late policy, experiment with different categories and percentages. What works best? That's hard to say. But today's guest, Dr. Brittany Dillman, wanted to try something different. She's an expert in educational psychology and educational technology, and directs several online masters programs at Michigan State University. She decided, with her colleagues, to step away from traditional grading and its many remixes altogether, and pursue an alternative known as "ungrading."  As a student myself in several educational technology courses there, I noticed the ways this approach felt different, and I liked it. So today I'm delighted to welcome Brittany to talk about ungrading - what it is, how it can help students, and how you can try it out in small ways to reap its benefits and learn from your experiments even if you're not prepared to chuck your digital gradebook.

Soft freight demand would normally suggest plenty of available trucking capacity. Q2 2026 told a different story.   In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton is joined by Karin Bursa, Bobby Holland, Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, and Dr. Jason Miller, Eli Broad Endowed Professor of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University, to unpack the latest U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index.

Detroit's next wave of health care may be built as much with partnerships as with concrete. We sit down with Dr. Adnan Munkarah, President for Care Delivery and Chief Clinical Officer at Henry Ford Health, to unpack what it takes to modernize an academic medical center while keeping a century-long commitment to the city that surrounds it.We talk about replacing aging hospital space with a new tower and why that matters for patient care, safety, and the future of care delivery in Michigan. Dr. Munkarah walks us through the vision for a Midtown Detroit medical campus that blends clinical excellence with research scale, including a major research building and a coordinated approach with Michigan State University to accelerate discovery. We also explore specialized growth, like bringing Shirley Ryan AbilityLab's elite inpatient rehabilitation model into a “hospital within a hospital,” plus the push toward precision medicine and theranostics for cancer.Then we get candid about the health care workforce and what's changing. New physicians are incredibly capable and often more protective of work-life balance, and we discuss why that can be a strength when systems support team-based care. We also zero in on one of the biggest sources of frustration in American health care: prior authorization, insurance denials, and the administrative time sink that delays patients and fuels physician burnout. Dr. Munkarah closes with a clear challenge: invest upstream in prevention, public health, early cancer screening, and early management of diabetes and hypertension so we spend less in crisis and get better outcomes.If you care about Detroit, health policy, hospital strategy, and reducing health care costs the smart way, hit subscribe, share this conversation, and leave us a review.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

BYU basketball picked up a commitment from former Michigan State big man Jaxon Kohler. Kohler picked BYU over Kentucky, Kansas, and Louisville. He gives BYU a big man who competed in the NBA Summer League over the past summer. Kohler, an American Fork, Utah native is eligible due to a court injunction that gives him the ability to take advantage of a fifth year in the new 5-in-5 rule. During his senior season at Michigan State, Kohler was an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten performer. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper shared his reaction to the commitment and what it could mean for BYU's potential lineup in the 2026-27 season.

KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper starts today's show from the practice fields after another eventful day at BYU football fall camp. Day 11 took place Tuesday at the Student-Athlete Building, where media were allowed to watch the final 20 minutes.  Mitch shares his observations from the media window — who flashed, which position battles are tightening up, and how the Cougars are shaping up entering the final stretch before the September 5 opener against Utah Tech. With BYU checking in at No. 14 in the preseason AP Top 25, the expectations are real, and the on-field product at practice is reflecting that. Then Mitch pivots to the hardwood, where the 5-in-5 eligibility injunctions have turned BYU basketball's roster construction into one of the most fascinating storylines in college hoops. A temporary restraining order in California allows for Michigan State big man Jaxon Kohler to be able to enter the portal and have another year of college eligibility. Could BYU get him? The American Fork, Utah, native who started for Tom Izzo and played in the Utah Jazz Summer League is considering Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, and BYU for his fifth year. Mitch breaks down how the injunction works, why the transfer portal rules add another layer of complexity, and what landing Kohler would mean for a BYU basketball team building around Rob Wright, Bruce Branch III, and Collin Chandler.

(00:00) The guys talk about how the Raiders give their season tickets out in this Raiders poker chip box and how they have real printed tickets, if having real things like that can help people buy tickets, how Gillette doesn't print tickets out at all, how much would it cost to print out tickets, Fred had Bruins season tickets, other Raiders season ticket boxes, getting season tickets, and Michigan State football. (00:18:20.12)(00:33:25.50) WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT: The Red Sox went to Toronto to face the Blue Jays where Toronto won 2-1 even with a weird rule that gave the Red Sox one run, and they have now lost 3 straight games. They talk about the confusing play where the Red Sox scored, where a 15 minute delay happened where the umpires had to figure out what was going on. Adley Rutschman is starting tonight. Also, they talk about a man named Reggie Bannister, who passed away and Adam 12 put out a memorial post for him. Also, a caller calls Jon old. Then, LeSean McCoy says who he believes is the best WR of all time. Please note: Timecodes may shift by a few minutes due to inserted ads.

Nico Iamaleava is the most misunderstood QB in the nation. I've known of Nico since he was 16, and I've always felt like people were quicker to react to the headlines than understand the person. And since we launched Y-Option three years ago the vision was to share insightful and thoughtful stories in college football. That's today's podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.This conversation will give you a different look at who he is. The way he talks about his parents. The way he processes praise and blame. The way his mom's cancer battle changed his perspective. The way he gives back to today's youth via his Wilson football camps.There is a lot more to Nico than the noise around him. And if you're a fan who has resented the new-age in college football, this episode may refresh your passion for the game.As Nico steps into the 2026 season and the deepest group of quarterbacks in the history of the Big Ten conference, we will see the starter at UCLA as a man who is grounded, grateful and ready to be where his feet are.I spend my life talking to quarterbacks and today's podcast was one of the most enjoyable podcasts of this decade-long endeavor. We went back and forth on the craft, how he trains his mind, and the impact of new UCLA head coach Bob Chesney. I walked in excited about our conversation and left the Bruins facility inspired by the face of the program on so many levels. I hope by the time you complete this episode, you feel the same way.It's been a hectic week as I've gone from USC to Michigan to the Hall of Fame game to Michigan State to the Hall of Fame induction to Minnesota to home. And I'm heading back on the road tomorrow to prepare for the Apple Cup on NBC, Cy-Hawk, Indiana, and Penn State. Full recaps with Todd Blackledge coming soon and a detailed essay about what it was like watching Larry Fitzgerald get inducted into the Hall as number 385.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-06-2026: >ul> An emailer with persistent nine-month nerve damage in her right leg after a hysterectomy asks whether peptides could help. Dr. Dawn attributes the injury to lithotomy positioning during surgery, then reviews the main nerve-regeneration candidates in the FDA peptide review pipeline: BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound, strong rat data on sciatic nerve recovery with thicker myelin sheaths), intracellular sigma peptide (targets glial scar CSPGs blocking CNS regrowth), C3 peptide 156-181, GHK-Cu (copper peptide, upregulates nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3), self-assembling hydrogel scaffolds for bridging nerve gaps, ARA-290/cibinetide (an erythropoietin fragment with early small fiber neuropathy trial data), and Semax (used internationally for stroke rehab). She adds standard functional-medicine adjuncts: alpha-lipoic acid, methylated B12, and methylfolate at high doses for six months. An emailer asks about safe features when buying an infrared sauna. Dr. Dawn covers three concerns: EMF exposure (look for shielded/grounded heaters testing under 1 milligauss at seat level, avoid unshielded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth panels); VOC off-gassing (avoid plywood, particle board, and MDF because of formaldehyde and benzene release, and avoid Western red cedar and pine because of high terpene emissions and instead choose poplar, basswood, or eucalyptus); and avoid built-in oxygen ionizers, which produce ozone as a coronal-discharge byproduct that irritates airways and generates secondary oxygenated VOCs. Dr. Dawn covers the surprisingly long list of medications that raise estrogen in middle-aged men—including nearly all antidepressants and antiepileptics, statins, NSAIDs (specifically naproxen and indomethacin but not ibuprofen), most blood pressure medications, PPIs, H2 blockers, Parkinson's drugs, antihistamines, and muscle relaxants. She recommends annual monitoring of the estrogen-to-testosterone ratio and offers rebalancing options: topical chrysin (blocks aromatization), indole-3-carbinol, calcium D-glucarate (blocks enterohepatic estrogen recirculation), soy (competitive receptor inhibition), and grape skin extract. The first mRNA-based flu vaccine was approved this week for adults 50 and over. Beyond the 27% improvement in seasonal efficacy over conventional shots, the strategic advantage is manufacturing speed. This will be critical when or if bird flu mutates to respiratory human transmission. Since mRNA vaccine can be reprogrammed from a new viral sequence in weeks versus the three-to-four-month growth cycle for conventional flu vaccines, rapid response can save lives. But mRNA vaccine side effects include more injection-site pain and fatigue - more like a tetanus shot than a traditional flu shot.. A Spanish prospective study of chemicals affected puberty in the young studied 500 girls followed from ages 7-10 and again at 14-16 used urine chemical measurements as objective exposure markers rather than food diaries. Ethylenethiourea, a metabolite of dithiocarbamate fungicides used heavily on strawberriess,was associated with earlier menarche, while a chlorpyrifos metabolite was associated with delayed menarche. this latter effect was more pronounced in overweight girls whose fat tissue concentrated the compound. Dr. Dawn recommends organic strawberries and keeping children away from fumigated fields. University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine researchers developed a chewing gum from lablab beans containing the natural antiviral protein FRIL, which reduced oral HPV by up to 93% in samples from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. The gum also suppressed Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, oral bacteria that promote cancer recurrence. Michigan State University's Hamburger lab studying delphinium (larkspur) alkaloids joined forces with Tomáš Pluskal's Czech Academy of Sciences lab studying wolfsbane (monkshood) after meeting at a Barcelona conference. Together they mapped the biosynthetic assembly line for aconite—an alkaloid with valuable applications against malaria, pain, cancer, and agricultural pests but impossibly slow to extract from source plants—and cloned the pathway into tobacco, which grows aggressively and produces large quantities of the compound. An emailer named in the message asks about an incidentally-discovered enlarged aorta on CT. Dr. Dawn notes it officially becomes an aneurysm at 4 cm (annual monitoring) or 5 cm (six-month monitoring), with smoking cessation critical since tobacco directly weakens the aortic wall. She describes the "zipper of fire" back pain of dissection versus catastrophic rupture, and notes Medicare covers a one-time screening ultrasound for ever-smokers over 65.

Stoney and Rico question the absence of Michigan State's mascot in the Mascot Hall Of Fame.

We answered your questions — on Michigan State football and early thoughts on Pat Fitzgerald and his team as fall camp begins, on MSU basketball and the roster coming out of the summer, on the Tigers and whether we gave up on them too soon, on the Lions, now that Jahmyr Gibbs has signed, and more.

In this college football podcast episode, we close out our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview with nine more teams and some of the conference's most difficult projections. USC has the offense, talent and expectations of a College Football Playoff contender, but can Lincoln Riley's team survive a relentless schedule while Gary Patterson rebuilds the defense? The conversation gets especially spirited when we turn to the new eras at Penn State and Michigan. How quickly can Matt Campbell blend his Iowa State imports with the roster he inherited? Does Kyle Whittingham give Michigan an immediate coaching upgrade, and what will his staff unlock in Bryce Underwood? Along the way, we debate the talent level at Penn State, the offensive identities taking shape in Ann Arbor and State College, and whether either team can navigate a season filled with major swing games and playoff-level pressure. We also dig into Bob Chesney's ambitious UCLA rebuild, the possibility of Illinois being overlooked, Minnesota's search for offensive pop, Maryland's attempt to give Malik Washington more help, and the upside and limitations of the new coaching staffs at Michigan State and Northwestern. Plus: Dan's Penn State slander, a save-the-date for the Minnesota Support Zoom, the return of Charles Chip Kelly, and a troubling sign from College Football 27.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg McElroy breaks down his Big Ten tiers, discussing which teams COULD win it all, which teams can make the playoff, who can play spoiler, who will make a bowl game and who needs work. How many teams can truly claim the title? Why Indiana can certainly do it again, Ohio State will be in the conversation, and is it Oregon's year? Plus, USC is set up well for possibly its best season of the Lincoln Riley era, and can we see lots of success for Penn State in year one under Matt Campbell? Additionally, why Greg is high on Washington, what to watch for with Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, and more. | Always College Football Approximate timecodes: (0:00) Intro (3:14) Tier 1: Oregon (7:00) Tier 1: Ohio State (10:20) Tier 1: Indiana (13:54) Tier 2: USC (16:30) Tier 2: Washington (18:17) Tier 2: Penn State (20:42) Tier 2: Michigan (23:46) Tier 3: Iowa (25:51) Tier 3: Illinois (27:39) Tier 3: Nebraska (29:36) Tier 4: Wisconsin (31:17) Tier 4: Minnesota (32:50) Tier 4: UCLA (34:38) Tier 4: Maryland (36:02) Tier 5: Northwestern (37:37) Tier 5: Michigan State (39:04) Tier 5: Rutgers (40:25) Tier 5: Purdue (41:51) Thanks for watching Learn more about your ad choices.

In this college football podcast episode, we open our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview by zooming out before diving into the individual team breakdowns. The conference has produced the last three national champions, enters the season with another wave of major coaching and coordinator changes, and features a surprising number of familiar quarterbacks. We sort all 18 Big Ten teams into contender tiers and ask whether Ohio State, Oregon and defending national champion Indiana have separated from the field. Is USC talented enough to overcome its schedule and lingering defensive questions? Could Penn State, Michigan, Washington or Iowa emerge as the conference’s fourth College Football Playoff team? And how much faith should we place in new systems, new play callers and transfer quarterbacks across the league? We also work through the crowded middle of the conference, where favorable schedules, volatile quarterbacks and major rebuilds make almost every projection feel negotiable. Plus: Sweet Lady Schedule, the Big Ten’s overarching theme of faith, Bob Chesney’s elite hairline, a renewed commitment to the Minnesota Support Zoom, and a fun announcement about the show's place in the college football media sphere.
