We're going to be talking about the current incoherent world of US ENERGY POLICY. ANNA KRAMER joins the podcast to help us get our arms around the future of energy in the United States. Anna is a reporter for NOTUS, a non-partisan longform journalism outlet. She has written a series of stories on the the disconnect and frustration around US Energy Policy and paths forward. We talk about: The chaotic policy at the federal level (and beyond) The huge cost overruns and administrative complexity The role of nuclear The increased energy demand in this country Finally, we muse about what can be done about it going forward. https://youtu.be/3k-N-AGTNfU Outline Section 1: The US Energy Policy Transition: The Goals and the Problem. Discussing Brandon Shores Coal Plant and electricity prices in the Mid-Atlantic Region. https://www.notus.org/policy/biden-clean-energy-coal-maryland-brandon-shores https://www.notus.org/policy/electricity-prices-spiking-biden-clean-energy-transition https://www.notus.org/policy/nuclear-power-energy-crisis-cost Evidence that the transition is happening. Electrifying = efficiency. Cheap wind and solar, look at the free markets in Texas — ballooning wind and solar there The reliability, capacity, and resource problem: Needing certain amounts of energy and voltages at all times of day. Leads to keeping coal plants online past scheduled retirement dates, plus spiking prices How much do emissions and climate change goals matter to the industry? What role does nuclear energy play?

Idea is not aligning with reality. DOGE cutting into the basic functions of energy governance. https://www.notus.org/policy/doge-cuts-trump-drill-baby-drill https://www.notus.org/policy/donald-trump-tariffs-trump-energy-agenda Transcript Frazer Rice (00:01)Welcome aboard, Anna. Anna Kramer (00:03)Thanks for having me, really psyched. Frazer Rice (00:04)I went through a bunch of your articles covering the power industry and energy generation and a lot of things that are happening federally, state level, and it's going to be a lot to get our arms around, but you were the person to do it. So just generally speaking, we're at a point in time with energy and transition ⁓ that policy is moving. Maybe take us through a little bit about the goals and the problem we face. Anna Kramer (00:31)So there are sort of two, I would say, competing problems right now. ⁓ The first one is load growth, which means basically more demand on the electricity grid. And that is something that we haven't seen in this country in decades. for really around 2000 up until maybe a couple of years ago, energy demand on the grid has been fairly constant or even declining slightly. And the reason for that is that everything has become more efficient. Like every appliance you use, every light bulb, your car, everything that could possibly have a demand on the grid is more efficient than it used to be, which is awesome. There's a lot of wonderful benefits that we get from that, including the fact that for a long time utilities and transmission planners and states and the federal government have not really ever had to think about the grid or about like where you get your power aside from these sort of technical conversations that the average person doesn't really pay any attention to. That has really started to change as of the last few years. There's a large number of reasons for that. Basically for the first time in decades we have significant demand expecte...

In this healthcare podcast, I am talking with Dan Serrano; and we're talking about payer/provider collaboration—blocking and tackling, I'm gonna say—from primarily a financial and revenue point of view. I'd classify this as, say, a 201-level discussion (ie, not entry level, but it's also not super deep in the weeds). We mainly cover the ins and outs of why a provider organization should probably be looking to get paid to better take care of patients with chronic disease and drive better patient outcomes at lower downstream costs and, to some degree, also why payers should be helping provider organizations in their local communities to do so by providing some help and shelter on the journey from here to a capitated payment. The focus today is really, I'd have to say, on the messy middle, where a provider organization does not have capitated contracts nor access to any premium dollars, which, by all accounts, is the holy grail here. The premium is where it's at, and provider organizations might want to be aiming to get a piece of that action. The why for this “get the premium dollar” prime directive is pretty self-evident when you look at the big bucks rolling around in the coffers of those who are collecting said premium dollars. So, this “get the premium” endgame is, for sure, a big piece of the why—why, if I am a provider organization, I might want to take the time and energy and spend the money to embark on a path that might lead me to be able to get compensated for the stuff that patients really want and need to do better, which includes all of the things that I spoke about with Eric Gallagher in episode 405. Also, Vivek Garg, MD, MBA, in episode 407 and Amy Scanlan, MD, in episode 402. Spoiler alert: It's not easy. Now, I asked Dan Serrano, as aforementioned my guest today, to offer up his advice here in the context of CKD (chronic kidney disease) patients. Why did I ask Dan to use the CKD case study, as a touchstone? Well, first of all, talking about this topic in totally theoretical terms is not ideal. We need an actual example for a lot of this to kind of make sense, combined with the first step for most outcomes improvement programs, which is to study your data and pick a patient population to focus on where the data suggests that you can have a big impact. And speaking of impact, did you know that an underlying reason why heart failure patients get hospitalized and rehospitalized is because of underlying CKD? So, impact in the short term and longer term, which I'll get to in a sec. Another reason is—and I'm quoting John Rodis, MD, MBA, here, who is the independent medical director of QC-Health®—Dr. Rodis said the other day, “I sure as heck hope I don't get CKD, because if I do, chances are I'm not going to be diagnosed. And even if I am diagnosed, I won't be treated properly.” So, there's that. And I can see why he's saying that. Two out of five patients with ESRD (end-stage renal disease) don't even know they have kidney disease at all. And the number of patients with progressing CKD on any kind of evidence-based treatment plan is stunningly low. But also, here's another reason I asked Dan Serrano to talk about CKD patient populations specifically as his example: I and Dr. Rodis and the team at QC-Health are not the only ones who have figured out that CKD patients are notoriously expensive and way underdiagnosed. You know who else has figured this out? Payers. Also, private equity. In fact, I was in a meeting with a payer recently, and they stated they had to get CKD patients into point solutions. This payer—and I've heard of others, too—none of these entities are waiting around. And I guess, fair enough, if you look at some of the population health data, that I'm sure these payers and others are looking at. But if you work for a payer and you're listening right now, what I would say, “Okay, with the point solutions, one that you have carefully vetted, of course, because we have patients suffering right now and dollars being frittered away right now.” But I also would submit that those point solutions will perform a whole lot better if we are all gunning for synergies. PCPs (primary care physicians) and traditional FFS (fee-for-service) models in this country need your help. The payment models and admin burden are decimating. Payers certainly are a group with some culpability here. (Sorry to be saying the quiet part out loud.) Instead of forgoing them, please help PCPs. Am I saying be altruistic? Actually, no. Listen to episode 409 with Larry Bauer or episode 391 with Scott Conard, MD, or an upcoming show with Jodilyn Owen and what you will hear is the amazing ability for clinicians rooted in the community to actually drive change in their local markets. In fact, I'd hypothesize that these community-rooted organizations probably have a better track record for actually moving the needle on patient outcomes than any snazzy tech that I have seen, although I am sure that there are one or two very effective snazzy techs out there—the exception proves the rule and all that. Bottom line: As I do so often, I am advocating for payers and provider organizations within communities to collaborate, regardless of whether there's a third party also in the mix. I am reporting all of this in the spirit of being helpful but also with some degree of urgency for any care delivery organization because, I mean, really, forget about the holy grail of trying to capture a percentage of the premium if the money is already going elsewhere to too many point solutions who are already capturing a portion of the premium. IRL, this is what's already going on out there. But where there's a challenge, there is also opportunity. As I have said pretty repeatedly for the past four minutes, because the bar is so low and because CKD patient outcomes are bad news, in general, from a lot of angles, CKD is actually a great place for providers to work hard to improve care and quality. From a financial standpoint, I think there's also a great business case for payers to help provider organizations do so. Doing better than the local standard of care is not hard, sadly. And what that means is that there's so much money that's possible to save due to the expense of this condition. And if you're a payer, even a payer with a third-party CKD solution, if you can help local PCPs and others level up their care, then either you don't have to pay for the third-party point solution for patients who can be managed successfully locally and/or there's a more frictionless path for those patients to be identified and get into the point solutions that are available to them. Let's all keep in mind that patients at rising risk are falling through a lot of cracks. You can have the best point solution in the world, but if patients aren't making it there, then, yeah, no outcomes will improve. No costs will be reduced. Everything I just went through are also all of the reasons why we picked CKD as our focus for a national Groundswell Movement™ that the benefit corp I am co-president of is kicking off to improve CKD patient outcomes. If you are also thinking about improving CKD patient outcomes, for sure, hit me up. On to a few thank yous. Thank you so much to Carl Hansen, MD, a direct primary care physician, for a really generous tip in our tip jar. Also, thanks so much to Keith Passwater, who is CEO of Havarti Risk Services and Pasco Advisers, for a really nice donation to the cause over here.

Did you know there is a group of native plants which can be highly adaptable, can serve multiple functions in our gardens, and perhaps even be a backbone component to our home landscapes, but which has historically been overlooked for those purposes? This group of native plants is the sedges, or more specifically, members of the genus Carex. In this episode of the Backyard Ecology podcast, we talk with Sam Hoadley about sedges and their use in the home garden and landscape. Sam is the Manager of Horticultural Research at Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware. Recently, Mt. Cuba Center released their Carex trial report. This report evaluated 70 species and cultivars of Carex over 4 years for garden and landscape use in the Mid-Atlantic Region. During our conversation, Sam and I talk about how Mt. Cuba Center's trials are conducted, the importance of sedges / Carex species, how they can be used in the garden or home landscape, and many other topics. Sedges may not produce the colorful, flashy flowers that we often think about and are drawn to when we are picking native plants to use in our home landscapes or pollinator and wildlife gardens, but they are definitely worth considering. Not only do they have their own innate beauty, but they can also serve so many different functions in the garden and landscape – including filling in so called “problem areas” or serving as a potential lawn alternative. We have lots of exciting opportunities planned with Backyard Ecology over the next several months.

But if visitors knew the cruelty behind the nostalgia, they'd never get taken for a ride: These horses are forced to pound the pavement in all weather extremes, dragging heavy loads, dodging cars, and inhaling exhaust fumes. Many horses forced to pull carriages end up with painful and debilitating ailments affecting their hooves and legs, which were made for soft, grassy areas, not city streets. Luckily, animal-free options for touring a city are abound, from pedicabs and rickshaws to segways and scooters and even vintage-style electric carriages, and kind people in cities across the country are rallying together to demand an end to the horse-drawn carriage industry. PETA 's Director of Outreach Ashley Byrne discusses with Michelle how this industry fights all welfare reforms and how listeners can support efforts to ban horse-drawn carriages in their own communities.

Ping-pong tables, free-lunch Friday, or another amenity are just things. Things are not culture. Culture is how you show up. Shaara Roman joins Kevin to discuss building a conscious workplace. Often, there is a disconnect between what we say our culture is and what we see, feel, and hear in the hallways (virtual or physical). When you are conscious of your culture, you know and live your values. You know what differentiates you from the competitors. You know how to hold people accountable. When we know our purpose, we can drive profits. Key Points Shaara Roman defines a conscious workplace.  She explains why culture matters.  She shares four types of culture: 1. Good Ole' Boy 2. Get on Board 3. Nice 4. Belonging.

For many years, Ted taught Judaic studies at Dickinson College (Carlisle, Pa), where he was the founding director of the Milton B. Asbell Center for Jewish Life. Summary Look between the slices of rye bread of a traditional Jewish deli sandwich, and a time capsule of Jewish life in America emerges. The Jewish deli – a uniquely American institution – is the story of migration from Eastern and Central Europe and the struggle between wanting to retain Jewish culture and assimilate into American life. The story of Jewish life begins in the crowded tenements of New York City, migrates to the other boroughs, the nearby suburbs, and eventually throughout the U.S. Key Discussions How the Jewish deli in America √ emerged as an institution unlike what immigrants had experienced in the shtetls of Eastern Europe. √ evolved as a focal point of Jewish identity and remembrance, as a unifier of different immigrant Jewish cultures, and as a communal gathering place, especially for men. √ had its roots in the culinary habits of German Jewish immigrants √ rose in importance during the great depression and the rise of the American Nazi Party, especially in New York City. √ migrated outside of New York City – to the suburbs, Miami and Los Angeles – in the aftermath of World War II. √ as an institution declined due to various factors.

Welcome to Episode 115 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball.

Franklin & Marshall has the most talent back of last year's contenders and will obviously be motivated  Johns Hopkins will have a lot of new faces but we know they can be really good Swarthmore is still very talented despite losing half their team to Villanova (slight exaggeration) We could see a lot of moving and shaking up and down the rest of this conference with some coaching changes and intriguing talent on every other team CSAC (at 27:45) Well, well, well, look at Wilson winning 31 games, we love to see it Keystone is always something of a mystery but it's cool that now they have real competition in this conference Landmark (at 34:20) What does the encore look like for Catholic after the best year in program history? Scranton, Moravian and Elizabethtown all have some legit top-end talent but will need a lot more depth to step up to challenge the Cardinals MACC (at 43:15) Lebanon Valley has climbed to the top of this conference in a hurry and has a ton of exciting talent back, even with their top two arms from the '22 team gone York (PA) is always good but have a ton of offense to replace We conclude (at 53:50) with our player and pitcher of the year picks, and our teams to beat.

How did a grandmother's passion for gardening inspire her grandson's career in taking care of the soil? In this episode, Cory Guilliams, district conservationist with Virginia USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), recalls the influence and lessons learned from his grandmother about soil health and winter cover crops as he helped her as a youth in picking and weeding beans and potatoes. Cory shares the history and definition of no-till farming in Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic Region and how important the practice is for aggregating soil particles and reducing erosion. Tillage can be extremely destructive so minimizing soil disturbance is critical. We can all be 4 The Soil and do our part to build health from the soil up.To learn more about soil health and possible careers in natural resources conservation and environmental sciences, please visit the Virginia USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service website at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/va/home/.
