Another fine day in the Coulee Region! In the news this morning, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he is resigning, Federal agencies have now joined in the search for Virgil Thew in the New Lisbon area, a Wisconsin man died after his UTV fell through the ice on Lawrence Lake, and another Wisconsin man died in a snowmobile crash in the UP. In sports, the Bucks & Badgers both got wins yesterday, and the news on Christian Watson's injury is NOT good. Plus, a recap of "Black Monday" in the NFL. Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show also joined us just after 8am, and we also delved into the Skip Bayless/Fox Sports sexual battery lawsuit. We let you know what's on TV tonight and what's new for New Release Tuesday, and talked about the Hershey Bears setting a new record for their annual "Teddy Bear Toss". Funny story about a guy who was doing some remodeling in his parents' house & found one of his childhood Christmas presents hidden in the walls! And the Salvation Army once again had some rather generous, anonymous donations this year during their bell-ringing campaign.

Recently, thousands of professors in colleges around the country, including here in Utah, were asked whether they feel like they need to self-censor what they say. Nearly half of faculty who identify as conservative said yes. Only 19% of liberal professors feel this way. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests about this topic on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Dr. Susan Madsen, founder/director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project and the Karen Haight Huntsman endowed professor of leadership in the Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and Kimberly Gardner, a teacher with 34 years experience in both elementary and middle schools and chairperson of the Colonial Heritage Festival. 

Most Americans carry some form of credit card debt. A recent Clever Real Estate survey found that 3 in 5 Americans (61%) are in credit card debt, with an average debt of $5,875. Additionally, 23% of respondents reported that they incur more credit card debt each month, and 14% indicated that they have missed a payment in 2023.   Here are some more staggering statistics about the state of credit card debt in America:   - **28% of Americans Believe It Will Take 5 Years to Pay Off Their Credit Card Debt**  Although 49% of Americans believe they can pay off all their credit card debt within the next year, a significant portion thinks it will take five years or longer. According to the Clever Real Estate survey, 28% believe they will be debt-free within five years, 11% expect to pay it off within ten years, and 6% think they will never be able to pay it off.   - **Nearly Half of Americans Need Credit Cards to Cover Essential Living Expenses**  The survey revealed that 48% of Americans rely on credit cards to manage essential living expenses. This trend is particularly prevalent among younger generations, with 59% of millennials using credit cards for their living expenses. In contrast, only 29% of baby boomers depend on credit cards for essential costs.   Jason Saltzman is the founder of Relief, a transformative platform that revolutionizes debt management for everyday people.

Older adults age 55 and up accounted for 44% of the homeless population in the Greater Richmond region, according to a recent annual count. Homelessness in the region increased 20% from 2023, while older adult homelessness rose two percentage points, based on recent data collected by the Homeward VA point-in-time count. Older adults have vulnerabilities that don't exist for other renters or homeowners, according to Benjamin Teresa, the director of RVA Eviction Lab. Limited income, medical costs, rising housing costs, evictions and more can all factor into the displacement of older adults. Like others in the region, older adults face...Article LinkSupport the show

Expleo has announced research findings which show that 43% of business leaders in Ireland feel under pressure to identify a business case for integrating generative AI into their organisation's operations. This pressure to implement AI solutions could explain why 29% of business decision-makers said that their business is already using AI but does not understand the full implications of the technology. Expleo's report, 'Integrating AI: Navigating the next wave of business transformation', comprises insights from 100 key decision-makers at large- and mid-sized businesses in Ireland and a further 703 from France, Germany and the UK, to provide a strategic overview of AI attitudes. These continental comparisons produced a number of noteworthy discrepancies. While nearly two in five (39%) IT leaders in Ireland are concerned that increased government regulations on AI may stifle innovation within their industry, this rises to 50% for their European counterparts. Companies in Ireland are also more positive regarding the business risks associated with AI. Nearly one in five (19%) reported that they see no adoption risk for their organisation, compared to just 9% on average. Overall, Ireland's business leaders are in strong agreement (93%) that the benefits of AI implementation outweigh the potential risks associated with cybercrime. In fact, many believe it will help to ward off cybercriminals. Expleo's research found that the vast majority (94%) of business leaders in Ireland believe that AI will enhance cybersecurity. Meanwhile, 87% said that they have put specific measures in place to ensure their organisation is prepared to handle AI-related cyberthreats. The survey also examined how businesses which have already invested in AI are evaluating their ROI in the technology. The top two metrics were found to be profitability through reduced costs and additional revenue generated (97%), and improved operational efficiency such as better time to market, planning, and better supply chain management (94%). Phil Codd, Managing Director of Expleo Ireland, said: "Artificial intelligence represents a new frontier for organisations globally and it's encouraging to know business leaders in Ireland recognise the enormous opportunity that it represents, with the benefits far outweighing the risks in their minds. We see a tremendous drive to implement AI solutions. Businesses need to consider their approach to AI to ensure they invest time and budgets in areas that give them the return on investment. If AI isn't giving you significant cost and time benefits or value to your customers, then you should re-evaluate and adjust".

The short week continues with the Pat McCurdy version of the "Thursday Song" as he'll be playing at the Alpine Inn tonight starting at 7pm. The news this morning dominated by the tragedy in Georgia with updates from Shaw throughout the show. We talked about yesterday's Brewers loss, and the start of week 1 in the NFL tonight. Also, Caitlin Clark messed around & got a triple-double last night, and the viral Olympic break-dancer has once again apologized for her performance. Nice story about a kitten that went for quite the ride in a vehicle's wheel well before being found & adopted...and pit bull that was finally adopted after spending almost four years at a shelter in DC. And a GoFundMe for Matthew Gaudreau's wife & their unborn child has far surpassed it's original goal. A woman in Ohio is getting complaints from her neighbors after putting her elaborate Halloween decorations up early this year, and an electronics store in the UK is going viral for their Gen-Z commercial. Talked about some Alexa devices answering questions about the upcoming Presidential election, and also talked about a recent study that found that nearly 50% of Americans are hoarders! During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy with a homemade flamethrower in Vegas, a drone that interrupted a med-link flight, a crash involving two drunk drivers, a surgeon that mistakenly removed a man's liver instead of his spleen, a driver who was punched for complimenting another driver's car, a stroke victim that was found dead in a closet at the rehab facility, a toddler on a plane that was locked in a bathroom after crying non-stop, and a flight from Boston to Rome that had to be turned around after someone got really bad diarrhea.
