As much of daily life migrates online, broadband—high-speed internet connectivity—has become a necessity. The widespread lack of broadband in rural America has created a stark urban–rural digital divide. In Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity (MIT Press, 2021), Dr. Christopher Ali analyzes the promise and the failure of national rural broadband policy in the United States and proposes a new national broadband plan. He examines how broadband policies are enacted and implemented, explores business models for broadband providers, surveys the technologies of rural broadband, and offers case studies of broadband use in the rural Midwest. Ali argues that rural broadband policy is both broken and incomplete: broken because it lacks coordinated federal leadership and incomplete because it fails to recognize the important roles of communities, cooperatives, and local providers in broadband access. For example, existing policies favor large telecommunication companies, crowding out smaller, nimbler providers. Lack of competition drives prices up—rural broadband can cost 37 percent more than urban broadband. The federal government subsidizes rural broadband by approximately $6 billion. Where does the money go? Ali proposes democratizing policy architecture for rural broadband, modeling it after the wiring of rural America for electricity and telephony. Subsidies should be equalized, not just going to big companies. The result would be a multi-stakeholder system, guided by thoughtful public policy and funded by public and private support. Dr. Christopher Ali is Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia and is also the author of Media Localism: The Policies of Place. He is a Knight News Innovation Fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University and former Fellow with the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. His most recent research, “The Queen and Her Royal Court: A Content Analysis of Doing Gender at a Tulip Queen Pageant,” was published in Gender Issues Journal. He researches culture, social identity, placemaking, and media representations of social life at festivals and celebrations. He is currently working on a book titled Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River.

To keep American agriculture strong, commodities are moved across the country via road, rail or river. Jimmy “JRock” Cheatham is a Pilot Captain at Hines Furlong Line Inc. The barges he navigates down the Mississippi River play a crucial role in transporting products. He walks us through how the size and scope of these barges keep agriculture moving along the Mississippi River. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Decades ago, non-native carp were brought onto fish farms on the Mississippi River to control algae and parasites. They escaped, thrived, and eventually flooded the Illinois River, outcompeting native species and wreaking havoc. If the carp find their way into the Great Lakes, they could do major damage to those vital ecosystems.There's a proposed project to stop the fish—but it's expensive, and not everyone agrees it's the best solution. Host Flora Lichtman speaks with WBEZ and Grist reporter Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco and carp expert Cory Suski.Guests: Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco is an environmental reporter at WBEZ and Grist. Dr. Cory Suski is a professor of aquatic resources at the University of Illinois.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Head Start is a federal program that provides child care and early learning for low-income families. But the ongoing government shutdown has caused some programs to close, while others are taking out loans. WWNO's education reporter Aubri Juhasz tells us what this looks like in Louisiana.Three property taxes will be on the ballot in Baton Rouge next week. They're all renewals, but they've been made a bit more complicated by a series of budget shortfalls, one of the largest reasons being the incorporation of breakaway city of St. George, a city that now collects its own property taxes. The tax renewal for the local library system has been getting the most attention, as it fights to keep its funding, while the city-parish aims to skim a little off the top.Report for America corps member Alex Cox helps break down the ballot. Every year for the past four decades, a ship has gone out into the Gulf with a crew of scientists on an expedition to measure how much oxygen is in the water. It's called the hypoxia cruise and it's put on by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It's an integral component in measuring the “dead zone” to find out how much the lack of oxygen in the water caused by Mississippi River runoff is affecting marine life.Associate professor in LSU's department of oceanography and coastal sciences and chief scientist for NOAA's annual hypoxia cruise, Cassandra Glaspie, tells us more about the 40th voyage. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Send us a textMary Ann Sternberg has spent twenty years challenging the idea that the River Road between Baton Rouge and New Orleans is nothing more than rows of noxious chemical plants interspersed with 19th century plantation houses, so in this episode, we dig into its past and present. Mary Ann begins by orienting us to the geography of the River Road and the region's indigenous inhabitants. She describes the arrival of European settlers, which included an influx of Germans in the early 1700s. We talk about the role of the Mississippi River in the daily lives of people along the River Road and the development of early agriculture. She talks about the Slave Revolt of 1811 (also called the German Coast Uprising) and where visitors can learn more about that tragic event, as well as which plantations best incorporate the history of enslaved people into the stories they tell. We touch on the history of Canary Islanders and Cajuns who settled in the region, as well as the Jewish community in Donaldsonville. She describes the transition from agriculture to heavy industry, then we finish with a few tips about visiting the River Road.

They came to fish in the Mississippi River. They stayed to raise millions for St. Jude.

November 3-9As the Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel continued to unfold in the early 1840's, one revealed doctrine thrilled the Latter-day Saints beyond imagination. Yes, there were some references to this doctrine in the Holy Bible, but no Christian denomination at that time understood it, and none practiced it. When the Prophet Joseph first made public this amazing truth on Saturday, August 15, 1840, many of the Saints present were so excited, they immediately ran to the Mississippi River to begin the practice. And what is this doctrine? Baptism for the Dead. Today we'll talk about this glorious truth in detail.

In this on-location episode of Big Blend Radio's “Travel with Terri” Show, hosts Terri and Ron Guthrie explore the River Road region of Louisiana, uncovering the fascinating history, plantations, and cultural significance that line the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. They visit and discuss some of the area's most iconic sites including Destrehan Plantation — the oldest documented plantation in the Mississippi River Valley — and Oak Alley Plantation, world-famous for its stunning canopy of oak trees and rich history. The conversation also highlights Houmas House and the Great River Road Museum, which presents an unfiltered look at Louisiana's complex and layered past. Throughout the episode, Terri and Ron reflect on the beauty of the Mississippi River, its impact on commerce and culture, and how its story is interwoven with the development of Louisiana's plantations and small towns. The region's culinary traditions, from rice and sugar production to modern-day Southern cuisine, also take center stage. ✨ As the conversation unfolds, it was discovered that their River Road journey followed part of the historic Jefferson Highway, a transcontinental route connecting Winnipeg, Canada to New Orleans. The highway was officially established in November 1915 during a meeting in New Orleans, led by Edwin T. Meredith of Iowa with representatives from across the Louisiana Purchase states. Their vision created what became known as “The Palms to Pines Highway.” This month marks the 115th anniversary of that historic meeting — making it the perfect time to celebrate the Jefferson Highway's ongoing connection to the people, heritage, and landscapes of Louisiana's River Road region.

“The Mississippi River will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise,” said Mark Twain. In this, our final episode marking the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we consider how efforts to control the Mighty Mississippi – a river engineered from its Minnesota headwaters to its Gulf Coast outlet – have responded to the devastating storm, and how New Orleans' relationship to the river has changed. Can the city keep up with the pressure that climate change is putting on this engineered system, or is retreat the only viable response? Plus, a wetland recovery project that aims to bolster protection from hurricanes and flooding in the Lower Ninth Ward.

North wind, hot tent, and a last-minute call — we chased the Mississippi migration and found the X. In this Duck Gun Podcast, Jordan and Young Padawan break down a whirlwind river trip: the on-the-fly decision, brutal marsh walks, reading wind and water, how we located wild-rice pockets, and the hunt where birds finally locked, hovered, and paid the price. We also talk public-land etiquette (jump-shooters mid-hunt…), coots vs. greenheads, and what actually worked to turn scouting into limits.

An Unchanging God, Individualized Grace by Autumn Dickson In August of 1840, Joseph Smith delivered a sermon that introduced the concept of baptisms for the dead. People rejoiced and began being baptized for their kindred dead shortly thereafter. The Mississippi River was often the choice of setting for these sacred ordinances. In January of 1841, […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 124 – Part 1 – Autumn Dickson appeared first on FAIR.

My guest for Episode #538 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Nelson Repenning, Faculty Director of the MIT Leadership Center and co-creator of Dynamic Work Design. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Nelson describes himself as an "organizational engineer," helping leaders redesign the routines and decisions that determine how work really gets done. He joins host Mark Graban to discuss his new book, There's Got to Be a Better Way: How to Deliver Results and Eliminate the Chaos of Modern Work, co-authored with Donald Kieffer. In this conversation, Nelson shares insights drawn from his decades of experience studying system dynamics, Lean thinking, and organizational learning. He explains how leaders often fall into the "capability trap" -- spending their days firefighting immediate issues instead of improving the underlying system. From the arms race of hospital alarms to the collapse of fast-growing companies, he connects examples from healthcare, manufacturing, and technology to show why even good intentions can create destructive feedback loops if we don't understand the system. Mark and Nelson also explore how Dynamic Work Design translates Lean principles like flow, visualization, and problem-solving into knowledge work. They discuss the five core principles -- including "Structure for Discovery" and "Connect the Human Chain" -- that help organizations make work visible, surface problems early, and evolve systems continuously. Listeners will learn how to move from firefighting to focus, and from chaos to sustainable improvement. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How did you first get involved in the field of system dynamics at MIT? For those unfamiliar, what exactly is system dynamics -- and how does it apply to management and organizations? Why hasn't system dynamics had the impact on practice that it deserves? What lessons can we learn from the classic examples you've taught, like the Mississippi River levee arms race or the "People Express" airline simulation? How do those feedback loops and unintended consequences show up in today's industries, like healthcare or tech? What led you and Donald Kieffer to write There's Got to Be a Better Way? What core problems were you trying to address? Can you explain the "capability trap" and how firefighting keeps organizations from improving? Why is it so hard for people to commit to prevention and long-term improvement when firefighting feels more rewarding? How does Dynamic Work Design help leaders "structure for discovery" and surface problems earlier? What role does psychological safety play in making it safe to raise problems? How do you define "Dynamic Work Design," and what makes it different from traditional management systems? Why is it important for leaders to "go see the work" firsthand? Can you walk us through the five principles of Dynamic Work Design -- and how they connect to Lean? What does "Connect the Human Chain" mean, and why do so many organizations get communication wrong? Can you share an example where these principles led to measurable improvement -- such as the hospital case you mentioned? What can leaders learn from Toyota and other high-reliability organizations about making improvement continuous rather than episodic? How do leaders shift from reactive, one-off change programs to daily, ongoing learning? What message do you hope managers take away from There's Got to Be a Better Way? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

Revelation Dates: March 1841 – September, 1842 Revelation Places: Nauvoo, Illinois Section 125 - Historical Background: As the saints from around the world gathered to Nauvoo, many of them settled on the west side of the Mississippi River (Iowa) where the land was more affordable. Two stakes were organized there. With the increasing emphasis on the gathering place in Nauvoo, the question was raised whether the saints in the Iowa Territory should relocate to Nauvoo. Joseph inquired of the Lord. Recap: The saints are to settle in the areas according to where Joseph Smith will be inspired to designate, including those areas west of the Mississippi. Section 126 - Historical Background: Brigham Young was baptized a member of the church in 1832 and has been one of the chief supports of Joseph. For 9 years he served many missions including the eastern states, Canada and England. Joseph predicted in 1832, “A time will come when Brother Brigham will preside over this Church.” Upon Brigham's return from his successful mission to England in 1841, he reported, “Through the mercy of God we have gained many friends, established churches in almost every noted town and city in Great Britain, baptized between seven and eight thousand souls, printed 5,000 Books of Mormon, 3,000 hymn books, 2,500 volumes of the Millennial Star, and 50,000 tracts.” Joesph received this revelation for Brigham in his own home.   Recap: Brigham's offering is accepted by the Lord and he is told to stay in Nauvoo with his family, to “send” rather than “take” the Lord's word to the world. Section 127 - Historical Background: After Joseph's escape from Missouri into Illinois, Missouri Governor Boggs petitioned the Illinois Governor to arrest Joseph and extradite him back to Missouri for trial. To Joseph's surprise, and alarm, the Illinois Governor granted this request of extradition. Joseph's only protection was to stay out of sight until the sheriff, sent from Missouri, became discouraged and returned home. This section is an epistle to the saints by Joseph Smith while in hiding, explaining why he would be out of sight for a while.  Recap: Joseph has left Nauvoo temporarily for the safety of the saints and himself. These “perils” Joseph is called to pass through are a small thing to him. Like Paul, Joseph glories in tribulation. The saints should be glad, even in persecution, for God will prevail. Meanwhile, when baptized for the dead, keep good records to show the legitimacy of the ordinances, for what is bound on earth is also bound in heaven. He promises more information will be sent by him shortly. Section 128 - Historical Background: Five days following section 127, Joseph sends this new epistle to the saints, expounding further instructions on the ordinance to baptize their dead. These baptisms were occurring in the Mississippi River until the baptismal font within the unfinished temple could be completed and dedicated. Joseph was anxious to share all the sacred ordinances to be performed inside the temple, but began with baptisms for the dead. Only 6 others, all of whom were apostles, had received their temple endowment earlier in May, in the upper room of the improvised temple of Joseph's store. This was necessary because the temple was only about half completed.  Recap: Joseph reiterates the importance of a recorder to provide a witness and a very precise record of each ordinance. Whatever is recorded on earth is recorded in heaven, and likewise whatever is not recorded on earth is not recognized in heaven. The baptismal font in the temple is in similitude of the grave, being immersed in the water and then coming forth, as in the resurrection. All priesthood keys of past dispensations have been restored. Take courage and be glad, rejoice for the redemption of both the living and the dead.

Clay's conversation with Nat and Mikey, schoolteachers from Britain, who are floating down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers from Three Forks, Montana, all the way to St. Louis and beyond, with hopes of ending in New Orleans around the time of Mardi Gras. They recount their adventures so far. At the time of the interview, they were just north of Pierre, South Dakota, staying for one night in a resort motel on Lake Oahe. What have they learned about America, about Lewis and Clark, about Native Americans, about their relationship, and about themselves? They capsized on day two just north of Three Forks, but have managed to stay upright ever since, and they are confident they will be able to float all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi. This episode was recorded on September 30, 2025.

Join host Lynne Hilton Wilson and special guest Susan Easton Black, one of the foremost experts on Nauvoo, Illinois, for a captivating episode exploring the creation of one of the most remarkable cities in early Latter-day Saint history. In this groundbreaking podcast, they uncover new insights and fascinating details about how the Saints transformed a swampy stretch of Mississippi River shoreline into the thriving “City Beautiful.” Together, Lynne and Susan dive into Nauvoo's spiritual, social, and architectural legacy—from the vision behind its city planning and the building of the majestic Nauvoo Temple to the stories of the faith-filled people who made it all possible. Viewers will discover how Nauvoo became a center of innovation, faith, and community—and why its legacy still inspires members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today.

fWotD Episode 3089: U.S. Route 34 in Iowa Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 19 October 2025, is U.S. Route 34 in Iowa.U. S. Highway 34 (US 34) is a United States Highway that runs across the southern third of Iowa. It begins on a bridge over the Missouri River west of Glenwood and travels east where it meets Interstate 29 (I-29) and US 275. Through southwestern Iowa, the highway is, for the most part, a two-lane rural road with at-grade intersections; there are interchanges with US 59 near Emerson and US 71 near Stanton and Villisca. At Osceola, the highway intersects I-35 and US 69. Just east of Ottumwa, where the road meets US 63, the road joins the four-lane Iowa 163 for the remainder of its trek through the state. At Mount Pleasant, it overlaps US 218 and Iowa 27, the Avenue of the Saints Highway. From there, the road heads to the southeast where it crosses the Mississippi River on the Great River Bridge at Burlington.US 34 was one of the original U. S. Highways when the system was created in 1926, though it was preceded by the Blue Grass Route, a 310-mile-long (500 km) auto trail that connected Council Bluffs and Burlington. In 1920, the Iowa State Highway Commission (ISHC) assigned route numbers to roads in order to improve wayfinding for travelers. The Blue Grass Route was assigned Primary Road No. 8 in its entirety. Six years later, No. 8 was renamed U. S. Highway 34. In 1930, the highway became the first road to be fully paved across the state. By the 1950s, increased traffic and larger automobiles proved the original pavement inadequate. The highway was straightened and widened to accommodate modern vehicles.Starting in the 1960s, parts of the route were expanded to four lanes; a section of controlled-access highway was built in Burlington and limited-access highway in Glenwood. During construction of the four-lane road in Glenwood, Native American remains were discovered. Their subsequent lab analysis and delayed reburial created a controversy that eventually led to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. In the 1990s and 2000s, the highway between Ottumwa and West Burlington was widened to four lanes as part of a project to improve the corridor between Des Moines and Burlington. Since the early 1990s, narrow toll bridges at both the eastern and western state lines were replaced by modern, toll-free bridges that can handle high volumes of high-speed traffic.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Sunday, 19 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see U.S. Route 34 in Iowa on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

In this special episode, we bring you not one, but *two fascinating interviews* recorded live from one of the most haunted and intriguing venues in the Midwest. First, we sit down with **Kay**, an experiencer who has spent much of her life encountering the unexplained.

Her stories blur the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, and her honesty and calm reflection will make you question what truly lies beyond the veil.

Then, we shift from personal experiences to a chilling location that has captured the attention of investigators everywhere. **Derek from Eternal Paranormal** joins us to discuss his team's research into a deeply haunted location known as the **Sanctum of Souls**, an abandoned church that holds a reputation for intense supernatural activity. From unexplained chanting and shadow masses to the unnerving feeling of being watched, this church has become a magnet for investigators seeking answers to the mysteries of the afterlife. Derek shares not only his team's findings but also the history and theories behind the haunting — from restless spirits to possible darker energies that may linger within its walls. Throughout the episode, Jennifer and Joe reflect on how locations like Rock Island Roadhouse and Sanctum of Souls seem to serve as crossroads between worlds — where emotion, energy, and spirit collide. We also talk about what makes these haunted gatherings so special: the community of believers, skeptics, and seekers who come together to share stories, evidence, and experiences that defy explanation. Whether you're a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone who has experienced the unexplainable yourself, this episode is sure to keep you captivated.

After nearly six decades, authorities in central Minnesota have confirmed the identity of human remains found in the Mississippi River as Roy George Benn, who went missing in 1967. Benn, then 59, was last seen at a café in Sartell early one September morning. He was reportedly carrying a large amount of cash, and his disappearance sparked a long-running investigation with no resolution—until now. On August 10, a fisherman using sonar near Sartell detected what appeared to be a submerged vehicle. Dive teams recovered a heavily deteriorated 1963 Buick Electra, registered to Benn, with human remains and personal items inside. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has confirmed the remains are Benn's. The investigation into how Benn and his vehicle ended up in the river continues.

But really it was a bison and what he hung his shot pouch on was the horn. It got up and ran off bellowing, carrying the shot pouch. After it got a long distance away it threw it off.

Historian and author David Nicandri joins Clay in the LTA Airstream in Olympia, Washington, for a conversation about lingering mysteries of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The first question was why Meriwether Lewis' journal remained silent when he finally reached the Pacific Coast, which was the primary purpose of his transcontinental expedition. It was a dereliction of duty for the leader of the expedition to fail to write about reaching the Pacific after 18 months of gruelling travel. Clay and David attempt to make sense of Lewis' silence. The second mystery they tackled concerns the enduring appeal of the Lewis and Clark story after 230 years. There are several dozen interpretive centers for Lewis and Clark, none for Zebulon Pike, who was exploring the Mississippi River drainage at the same time, and none for John C. Fremont, a generation later. Why? This episode was recorded September 9, 2025.

Laura channels the timeless wit and wisdom of Mark Twain—not only as the legendary author and humorist, but as a soul continuing his purpose on the other side. His message reminds us to lighten up, discover the gold within our own stories, and allow our voices to shine with creativity and truth.Mark Twain (born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835–1910) grew up along the Mississippi River in the small town of Hannibal, Missouri. His childhood surrounded by riverboats, storytelling, and the colorful characters of a frontier town would later inspire his most famous works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.He showed us that humor is more than entertainment—it's a powerful tool for truth and transformation, capable of opening minds, dissolving prejudice, and inspiring change.For more information about Laura and her work you can go to her website www.healingpowers.net or find her on X @thatlaurapowers, on Facebook at @realhealingpowers and @mllelaura, and on Instagram, TikTok and Insight Timer @laurapowers44.

Along the banks of the Mississippi River in Wabasha, Minnesota, stands the Anderson House Hotel—a place where the past never seems to rest. Opened in 1856, it is Minnesota's oldest hotel, and for almost 170 years, guests have walked its halls, often leaving with stories they cannot explain. One of the most enduring mysteries is the spirit known only as Sarah. Her story is unclear, her history uncertain—but her presence is undeniable. Guests and staff alike have reported the sensation of being watched, the sound of footsteps when no one is there, and the fleeting glimpse of a woman who vanishes before she can be approached. And she may not be the only one who lingers. For years, the Anderson House was famous for its cats, beloved companions that once padded through its guest rooms. Though the living cats are long gone, many visitors still claim to hear phantom purrs in the dark, feel the weight of something curling at the foot of the bed, or see shadows shaped like cats darting through the halls. Tonight, we step inside the Anderson House Hotel with partner Becky Shaw to uncover its history, its hauntings, and the mysteries that still prowl its corridors. This is Part Two of our conversation.
