Before West Virginia could be rent from Virginia, all allegiances to the Old Dominion or support for the Confederate States had to be eradicated. General George B. McClellan was put in charge of the Ohio Valley states, which included the western portion of Virginia. He launched a campaign on the region that was successful in every possible way and made a name for himself that would put him onto the national stage and at the top of Lincoln's list for the Union's military leadership.

Can a publication first released in 1818 really predict the weather months or even years in advance?In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we explore the history and surprising popularity of the Farmers' Almanac, its claimed 80–85% forecasting accuracy, and the methods behind its long-range predictions. We also break down its fall 2026 forecast for Oklahoma, Texas, the Ohio Valley, Alaska, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, the Atlantic Corridor, and other parts of the United States.How does an old-fashioned annual publication compete with satellites, computer models, and modern meteorologists? Why do so many farmers and ranchers still swear by it? And should you trust its predictions when planning crops, vacations, festivals, or outdoor events?Tell us in the comments: Do you trust the Farmers' Almanac more than your local weather forecast?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives: From the Archives, we revisit our conversation with author, researcher, and hidden history investigator Rick Osmon.Could Roman explorers have reached North America centuries before Christopher Columbus? Rick joins us to examine the evidence, challenge conventional history, and share the research that has led him to believe there may be far more to America's ancient past than most people realize.Before becoming a full-time researcher and author, Rick built an impressive career in engineering, working with defense contractors and later as a civilian engineering specialist for the U.S. Navy. His work focused on advanced radar, night vision, laser systems, and surveillance technologies supporting Special Operations equipment acquisitions.Driven by a lifelong fascination with archaeology, ancient history, geography, cartography, and the unexplained, Rick left government service in 2005 to dedicate himself to researching hidden history. He went on to host popular internet radio shows, including The Oopa Loopa Cafe and Unraveling the Secrets, which became part of the Paranormal Soup Network before evolving into the Soup Media Network.Rick is also the author of several books exploring ancient mysteries, beginning with The Graves of the Golden Bear: Ancient Monuments and Fortresses of the Ohio Valley, published in 2011.Join us as we explore the possibility of Roman voyages to the Americas, the artifacts and historical clues Rick believes point to a forgotten chapter of history, and what it all could mean if the accepted timeline is incomplete.Show Notes:Glimmer Man Book: Cloaked Beings That Move Among UsWant to Share Your Story?

Jon Harris dives into Angel Studios latest movie "Young Washington." From Washington's daring expeditions in the Ohio Valley and the spark of the French & Indian War to his character, duty, and bravery, Jon shows why the real George Washington is even greater than the inspiring film portrays. He also addresses artistic license in historical movies and spends time debunking popular Masonic conspiracy theories about the Founding Fathers. A must-watch for patriots, history lovers, and families looking for wholesome, heroic stories. Heritage Album: Jonharristunes.comYoung Washington Review: https://substack.com/home/post/p-206383238Freemasonry and the Founding Fathers: https://jonharris.substack.com/p/freemasonry-and-the-founding-fathers00:00 - Intro & Celebrating America02:30 - My New Album Heritage07:40 - Why We Need More Founding Era Films09:45 - Young Washington Movie Review18:20 - Washington's Early Life & Ohio Valley Expeditions28:50 - Jumonville Glen & Battle of Monongahela40:15 - Movie Strengths & Artistic License50:30 - Freemasonry & Founding Fathers Debunked01:00:00 - Final Thoughts & Calls to ActionSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Washington was the perfect man for an impossible moment — aristocratic enough to command the respect of erudite founders like Hamilton and Jefferson, yet only a mid-level Virginia planter who understood ordinary life and could relate to common soldiers because his ancestors had fled the English Civil War with nothing and spent generations clawing their way back into respectability. That family history gave him something neither Hamilton's brilliance nor Jefferson's philosophy could manufacture: a bone-deep understanding of what it felt like to have status, lose it, and rebuild it through sheer force of will. This goes alone with his earliest military experiences in the French-Indian War: he suffered a string of frontier humiliations in the Ohio Valley that taught him the one lesson that would win the Revolution: how to survive losing. Today’s guest is H.W. Brands, author of American Patriarch: The Life of George Washington. We see how Washington's most important acts were preserving through impossible hardships like he did at Valley Forge but also in the moments he chose not to act: not to seize power, not to crown himself, not to serve a third term. He managed Hamilton and Jefferson's explosive feud the way a patriarch manages feuding sons — with exhausted patience and the quiet authority of a man who had already outlasted everything. He ended his presidency with the most radical thing a powerful man could do in 1797, which was to simply go home. All of this made him a patriarch -- a father of an extended family that encompassed the United States -- and crafted the norms that would steady America as a nation for generations to follow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Friday, July 3rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ethiopian Christian convert from Islam attacked and forced to flee As a child in Gawo Kebe, Ethiopia, Taha Dinka faithfully attended the mosque and adhered to his community's Islamic beliefs. He never imagined his life would ever take a different direction, reports International Christian Concern. In 2019, Dinka heard the Gospel and decided to follow Jesus. He said, “When I accepted Christ, I felt peace in my life. I believed God had rescued me from darkness.”   However, the decision that brought him hope also opened the door for rejection, threats, and persecution. Soon after his conversion, Dinka began facing strong opposition from those closest to him because of his faith in Christ.    Dinka said, “People I loved turned against me, and some even told me I had betrayed my family and my religion. Others warned me that I would suffer or die if I continued following Christ.”   Christian converts from Islam in Muslim-majority areas often face violence and even death threats. In August 2025, Dinka said, “I was violently attacked and forcefully removed from my home because I had refused to renounce Christianity. The attacks left me injured and traumatized. I was beaten because I would not deny Jesus. At that moment, I realized my life was truly in danger.”  He was forced to flee in search of safety. In Matthew 10:22, Jesus said, "You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” House Speaker Johnson puts SAVE Act in budget reconciliation bill Here in the United States, On Wednesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is aiming to push the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, through a third budget reconciliation bill, reports NewsNation. Johnson's remarks came shortly after President Trump canceled a signing ceremony for a sweeping bipartisan housing package, saying he will not sign the legislation until the Senate passes the voter ID bill. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and the presentation of an ID to cast a ballot. The bill passed the House, but has stalled in the Senate, where Democrats have vowed to oppose it, leaving it short of the votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Senate Republican Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota has repeatedly dismissed Trump's calls to eliminate or reform the filibuster in order to pass the bill. Johnson talked to the president about adding the SAVE America Act to the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA so that the entire bill including the funding of the troops and the SAVE America Act would only need a simple majority vote.  Here's Speaker Johnson at the Wednesday press conference. JOHNSON: “The SAVE America Act, as passed in February unanimously by all Republicans -- and that's components of the proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID when you show up to vote, that will be merged onto the [National Defense Authorization Act] and transmitted to the Senate as one bill. That's the most efficient, effective way to do it.” Call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them, whether they are Democrat or Republican, to support the National Defense Authorization Act which has the SAVE America Act added to it. Clarence Thomas: Birthright citizenship devalues what it means to be American citizen In a lengthy dissent, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took the majority to task for interpreting the Constitution to mean that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States, regardless of the legal status of the parents, Thomas argued that the ruling “devalues” what it means to be an American citizen. In the 6-3 decision on June 30th, the majority held that an executive order President Donald Trump issued on the first day of his second term violated the Constitution. The order directed that only children born on American soil to legal residents are automatically citizens of the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment states, in part, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” In his dissent, Thomas, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, noted as Trump previously argued, that the Fourteenth Amendment was passed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. It was in direct response to the Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court decision of 1857, which held that blacks were not citizens. Thomas wrote, “Both the Civil Rights Act [of 1866] and the Citizenship Clause [of the Fourteenth Amendment] guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United States.” He added, “Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority,” Under Trump's proposal, birthright citizenship would be limited to those with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Babies born to temporary visitors or people who entered the country illegally would not be citizens at birth, reports NBC News. Young Washington movie in theaters tonight On the cusp of America's 250th birthday tomorrow, Angel Studios* and Wonder Project release the movie “Young Washington” nationwide tonight. Watch the trailer. It follows the early life of George Washington as he transforms from an ambitious, awkward youth into a military commander. Facing class barriers, he secures a job surveying the Ohio Valley, only to stumble into the bloody triggers of the French and Indian War. Directed by Jon Erwin, who also produced the House of David TV series, the historical drama explores Washington's steep climb into Virginia's upper crust. William Franklyn-Miller, the 22-year-old British actor, portrays George Washington, Ben Kingsley portrays Robert Dinwiddie, and Kelsey Grammer portrays Thomas Fairfax. When setbacks shake George's faith in a kind, loving God, he gets angry. He tells his mother, “Providence placed me here. Why? For me to fail?” Focus on the Family says that Mary Washington, George's mother, serves up one of the movie's best lines. She says, “Failure is the tutor sent by God. If you don't learn from it, you fail twice. If you do learn from it, you've earned wisdom.” After George improbably survives a disastrous battle, a Native American chief—one who fought alongside the French—demands to meet George. His own warriors had George in their sights repeatedly. He claims they “never miss.” And yet, somehow, George stands before him, uninjured. The Indian chief tells him, “The Creator chose you. You have been shielded by the Spirit.” (Get the booklet entitled The Bulletproof George Washington by David Barton) Shortly thereafter, George shows up in Virginia Lt. Gov. Robert Dinwiddie's office with a bullet hole in his hat and a well-earned reputation for surviving impossible situations. Listen to the scene from the “Young Washington” movie. DINWIDDIE: “What happened, Washington? All those bullet holes in your jacket? How are you alive?” WASHINGTON: “I don't know.” Proverbs 16:9 says, "A man's heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps". The movie, Young Washington, dramatizes the events leading up to the French and Indian War, including the war's initial bloody triggers. PluggedIn.com warns that the film is not suitable for young children because there's plenty of fighting, shooting and chopping. And while none of it is particularly bloody or gory, it may come as a shock for those expecting a gentler “Christian” film. *Note: Angel Studios is owned by the Mormons also known as the “Church” of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Worldview cautions our listeners to remember that Mormons teach a false gospel and an unbiblical worldview. So, please be discerning in the viewing of any Angel Studios productions. 15-year-old listener from Eswatini, Africa sounds off Yesterday, 21 Worldview listeners took the time to send me an email about what they enjoy about this newscast.

He said, “We listen to The Worldview in 5 Minutes every day, mid-morning, when we take a break from our homeschool over a cup of tea.  I love that I can trust the facts you give, unlike CNN. But my favorite part is right at the end, when you urge us to ‘Seize the day for Jesus Christ!' “Quinn, age 13, said, ‘I love how Mr. Adam McManus addresses the transgender issue.  He says a man, who is ‘pretending to be woman.'  And the regular updates on the persecution of Christians throughout the world is eye opening.' “And Bianca, my mom, said, ‘Thank you for your team's faithfulness in bringing us truth. We find that you help us make sense of the news, and we feel hopeful instead of distraught. And thank you for the Bible verses that shed light on how to interpret what is going on.'” 7 Worldview listeners gave $800 yesterday Yesterday, 7 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to ensure that The Worldview stays on the air for another 365 days.

Morning Briefing — Tuesday, June 30, 2026 | Heat Dome Deep-Dive, NWS Lincoln IL, Zmanim & MoreWest Rogers Park, Chicago (ZIP 60645)=== ZMANIM — Tuesday, June 30, 2026 (15 Tamuz 5786) ===Hebrew Date: 15 Tamuz 5786 | Parsha: Chukat-BalakAlos HaShachar: 3:25 AMEarliest Talis & Tefillin: 4:04 AMNetz HaChama (Sunrise): 5:18 AMLatest Krias Shma: 9:06 AMLatest Tefila: 10:22 AMChatzos: 12:54 PMEarliest Mincha: 1:32 PMShkiah (Sunset): 8:30 PM=== TOMORROW'S ZMANIM — Wednesday, July 1, 2026 ===Sunrise: 5:19 AM | Sof Zman Shma: 9:06 AM | Sof Zman Tefila: 10:22 AMChatzos: 12:54 PM | Mincha Gedola: 1:32 PM | Shkiah: 8:30 PM=== WEATHER SUMMARY ===An extreme and historic heat dome grips the Midwest today. A 596 decameter (dam) closed upper-level ridge — one of the strongest ever recorded over this region — is centered over the Ohio Valley, pumping oppressive heat and moisture into Chicago and surrounding areas. Highs in the lower 90s°F with dew points near 80°F are expected, producing heat indices of 105-110°F. An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect through Thursday.=== NWS LINCOLN IL DISCUSSION (Barnes, 5:22 AM CDT) ===596 dam closed contour heat dome over Ohio Valley — historically rare signature. NBM model running 2-4°F too warm; actual highs likely lower 90s rather than mid/upper 90s. Heat index exceeds 105°F through Thursday. SW winds gusting 25 kt.=== NWS CHICAGO LOT DISCUSSION (Ratzer, 2:02 AM CDT) ===H5 ~5960m (~596 dam). Extreme Heat Warning through Thursday. 80°F dew points observed Monday afternoon in southern CWA. Heat index 105-110°F. Lake Michigan water temps: Chicago Shore 66°F, Wilmette 62°F, Chicago Crib 61°F.=== 1995 HEATWAVE COMPARISON ===The 1995 Midwest heat wave remains the benchmark. St. Louis hit a dew point of 83°F on July 14, 1995. Appleton, WI recorded a 90°F dew point — the probable Western Hemisphere record — with a heat index of 153°F. The 1995 wet bulb temperature reached approximately 85°F (29°C). The 500mb ridge in 1995 peaked around 594-596 dam over the Great Plains; today's ridge matches or exceeds that at 596 dam over the Ohio Valley.=== CLOSED CONTOUR HEAT DOME SCIENCE ===A "closed contour" means the 500mb height lines form complete loops — no open pathways for cooler air to enter. Most heat domes do NOT produce closed contours; a closed 596 dam contour is extremely rare and represents an exceptionally locked, stagnant ridge. Not all heat domes are closed contour events.=== CORN BELT MOISTURE SCIENCE ===Corn fields act as natural evapotranspiration engines. A single mature corn plant transpires 50+ gallons of water per growing season. With millions of acres of corn in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa all in active growth phase, the atmosphere is loaded with moisture from below — supplementing Gulf of Mexico moisture streaming northward. This is why Midwest dew points can spike to 80°F+ even without direct Gulf influence.=== WET BULB / WBGT SCIENCE ===Wet bulb temperature (WB) measures what your body actually feels when sweating. At 92°F air temp with 80°F dew point, the wet bulb approaches 84-85°F — near the physiological survivability limit for even healthy adults with shade and hydration. Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) adds solar radiation load; WBGT >32°C (89.6°F) is considered the military/OSHA "extreme danger" threshold.=== ORTHODOX COMMUNITY FORECASTS ===• St. Louis, MO: Mid-upper 90s, heat index 100-110°F. Extreme Heat Warning through Friday. NWS LSX.• Lakewood, NJ: Low-mid 90s, heat index 98-105°F. NWS PHI.• Borough Park, Brooklyn NY: Upper 80s-low 90s, humid. Heat Advisory. NWS OKX.• Baltimore, MD: Lower 90s, heat index 100-107°F. NWS LWX.• Philadelphia, PA: Lower-mid 90s, heat index 100-108°F. Heat Warning.• Atlantic City, NJ: Upper 80s-low 90s, sea breeze influence moderate.=== ISRAEL & DEAD SEA ===Jerusalem: 40-43°C (104-109°F), typical summer ridge. Low humidity (15-25%). Dead Sea: air temps 40-47°C; water temp ~31°C (88°F). Record at Sedom: 51°C. Mediterranean sea breeze provides relief to coastal Tel Aviv but Jerusalem's inland elevation (~750-800m) retains heat without sea-breeze relief.=== INDIA EXTREME HEAT / WORLD RECORD DEW POINTS ===India's Gangetic Plain and Rajasthan experience dew points of 85-90°F during peak monsoon onset with heat indices routinely above 130°F. The probable world record dew point: 95°F (35°C) at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia on July 8, 2003, with an air temp of 108°F (42°C) — producing a heat index of approximately 172°F.=== NAM vs GFS MODEL ACCURACY ===NAM (North American Mesoscale): Higher resolution (3-km), better at capturing local dew point pooling and mesoscale details. GFS: Global model, coarser, tends to underestimate extreme dew point events in the corn belt. For this event, NAM dew point forecasts of 78-82°F appear more accurate than GFS's 74-76°F projections.=== EPISODE FOOTER ===Morning forecasts air at 7 AM every day on Spreaker.

George Washington wasn't born a legend – he was forged in fire, frost, and the brutal chaos of a world war he accidentally helped ignite.  In this gripping episode, we follow Young Washington from a fatherless Virginia boyhood to the frozen wilderness of the Ohio Valley, where a single musket shot sets empires on a collision course.  Experience Washington's disastrous stand at Fort Necessity, his near-mythic survival at Braddock's massacre, and the eerie prophecy that foreshadows his destiny.  This episode reveals how hardship, ambition, illness, and sheer providence shaped the stoic young surveyor into the indispensable figure America would one day need.

Severe thunderstorm activity is forecasted to traverse a broad corridor from the mid-Mississippi Valley through the Ohio Valley and into the southern Great Lakes, prompting notable concerns regarding potential hazards such as damaging wind gusts, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. As this atmospheric threat persists, Governor Greg Abbott has taken proactive measures by directing the Texas Division of Emergency Management to pre-position state emergency response resources in anticipation of the severe storms targeting northwest and central Texas. Furthermore, the National Interagency Fire Center has reported an alarming number of uncontained wildfires across the nation, emphasizing the need for vigilance in fire-prone areas, particularly in Western North Carolina, where active wildfires have been exacerbated by drought conditions. The episode will also delve into critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities, specifically the urgent need for federal agencies to patch a significant flaw in Citrix Netscaler by April 2. Finally, we will provide updates on the status of volcanic activity at Kilauea, maintaining a watchful eye on this dynamic geological phenomenon.Takeaways:* A significant weather event involving severe thunderstorms is occurring across multiple states.* The National Interagency Fire Center reported numerous large uncontained fires are burning nationwide.* Texas has pre-positioned emergency response resources due to expected severe storm activity.* Active wildfires in North Carolina are exacerbated by prolonged drought conditions and debris.* Cybersecurity vulnerabilities have been identified in critical systems requiring immediate action by federal agencies.* Illinois and Kansas are under severe thunderstorm warnings with damaging winds and hail reported.SourcesNOAA / NWS / SPC• Storm Prediction Center — Day 1 Convective Outlook, March 31, 2026 (1300 UTC)• Storm Prediction Center — Day 4–8 Severe Weather Outlook, March 31, 2026NIFC / InciWeb• NIFC Incident Management Situation Report — March 31, 2026 (0730 MDT)• NIFC National Fire NewsUSGS / Volcanoes• USGS HVO Volcano Notice DOI-USGS-HVO-2026-03-31T17:42:59+00:00 — Kīlauea alert WATCH/ORANGE• Kīlauea Volcano Updates — USGS• Exciting Kīlauea Lava Update: Episode 44 expected in April — Hawaiʻi Volcano ExpeditionsCISA• CISA Flags Actively Exploited Citrix Bug CVE-2026-3055 — April 2 Federal Deadline• Citrix NetScaler CVE-2026-3055 KEV Entry — CISA• CISA Cybersecurity Advisories• ICSA-26-090-01: Anritsu Remote Spectrum Monitor (authentication bypass) — ASSURANT• ICSA-26-090-02: PX4 Autopilot (MAVLink unauthenticated command execution) — ASSURANT• CISA ICS Advisories PageTexas• Gov.

America's enigmatic Adena culture, which flourished in the Ohio Valley between roughly 1000 BCE and 200 BCE, is best known for its sophisticated burial practices and monumental earthworks. While much about the Adena is known to modern archaeologists, a number of questions linger about this mysterious ancient culture, the remarkable monuments they left to time, and the curious tablets that have been recovered from famous Adena sites. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we are joined by researcher Jason Pentrail to discuss his new two-volume book series Adena: Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley. From Ohio's mysterious Serpent Mound to the controversies associated with finds like the famous tablet retrieved from West Virginia's Grave Creek Mound, we explore many of the great mysteries about one of America's true great "lost" ancient cultures.

In this episode, the team talks with Jason Pentrail about his new two-volume set, Adena: Moundbuilders of the Ohio Valley. The books are available in hardcover and eBook formats through Amazon.com.  Adena: Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley is a richly detailed, accessible exploration of one of North America's earliest mound-building societies. Drawing on archaeology, early surveys, and modern research, these books trace the rise of the Adena people from scattered Woodland communities into a tradition defined by monumental earthworks, long-distance exchange networks, and complex ceremonial life. Readers are guided through the construction and meaning of conical burial mounds, sacred circles, and ritual landscapes that still mark the hills and river valleys of Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and eastern Indiana. The book examines Adena lifeways—craftsmanship, mortuary practices, belief systems, and social organization—while carefully separating evidence from long-standing myths and outdated interpretations. Special attention is given to the transition from Adena to Hopewell traditions, showing how ideas evolved rather than vanished. Case studies of well-known and lesser-known sites bring the past into sharp focus, revealing what these ancient earthworks tell us about memory, power, and community. Written for both general readers and serious enthusiasts, Adena Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley offers a grounded, respectful portrait of a culture whose legacy still shapes the American cultural landscape.

We commence with an examination of a light wintry mix forecasted to traverse from the upper Ohio Valley into the mid-Atlantic, projected to persist through midweek. Concurrently, we address the implications of an elevated space weather condition following an X 8.1 solar flare, with anticipatory warnings issued regarding potential minor solar radiation storms. In the realm of seismic activity, we report on a magnitude 4.2 earthquake centered near San Ramon, California, which prompted numerous felt reports yet resulted in no substantial damage. Furthermore, we provide insights into winter weather advisories and potential hazardous travel conditions across multiple states, underscoring the necessity for vigilance in navigating these atmospheric challenges.Takeaways:* The Weather Prediction Center has issued warnings for a light wintry mix affecting the mid-Atlantic region.* California experienced a significant earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2, reported by USGS, causing widespread shaking.* In Alaska, severe blizzard conditions with gusts up to 60 mph are impacting the western Arctic coast.* Potential for heavy rain and flash flooding exists over the central islands of Hawaii this weekend.* Maryland is under a winter weather advisory for light snow and freezing rain, particularly affecting untreated surfaces.* New Jersey may experience minor accumulations of snow and slick bridges due to a light wintry event.Sources[NWS Fairbanks — Blizzard Warning | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=blizzard+warning][NWS Fairbanks — Winter Weather Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS Anchorage — Coastal Waters Advisories | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=small+craft+advisory][USGS Event — M4.2 San Ramon | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ew1770044470/executive][AP — Bay Area quake swarm | https://apnews.com/article/earthquakes-san-ramon-california-san-francisco-bay-area-eb7191538457dd8136cac2603f6ff4b4][USGS HVO daily notice | https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hans-public/notice/DOI-USGS-HVO-2026-02-02T18%3A40%3A21%2B00%3A00][WPC Hawaii Extended Discussion | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.php][NWS Indianapolis — Watches/Warnings/Advisories | https://www.weather.gov/ind/][NWS ILX HWO for NW Indiana counties | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=ilx&wwa=hazardous+weather+outlook][NWS Jackson (JKL) — Winter Weather Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS JKL — Hazardous Weather Outlook | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=hazardous+weather+outlook][NWS Baltimore/Washington — WWA page | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwa/phenomena.php?wfo=lwx][NWS LWX — Winter Weather Headlines | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwa/phenomena.php?wfo=lwx&phenomena=WW&sig=Y&et=0][NWS Marquette — Heavy Freezing Spray Warning | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=Heavy+Freezing+Spray+Warning][NWS Marquette — HWO | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=hazardous+weather+outlook][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][WPC Short Range Discussion | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.php][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][WPC Short Range Discussion | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.php][NWS LWX — WV winter headlines | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwa/phenomena.php?wfo=lwx&phenomena=WW&sig=Y&et=0][NWS Charleston WV — WWA/HWO | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwa/phenomena.php?wfo=rlx&phenomena=WW&sig=Y&et=0] This is a public episode.

The battle over funding for immigration enforcement continues in Congress. A House panel has voted to bring a funding bill to the floor, setting up a key vote on Tuesday. With a very slim majority in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson can afford to lose only one Republican on the vote. Top Republican leaders say the bill must advance despite internal disagreements over the bill passed by the Senate.The search continues for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie. Homicide detectives were sent to Nancy Guthrie's home, after she went missing over the weekend. She has not been located and investigators are expressing grace concern. Police say they also found evidence that suggests a crime had been committed and did not leave her home on her own.A dangerous blast of Arctic air is gripping much of the eastern U.S. after a powerful weekend storm. A bomb cyclone buried parts of the Carolinas in record snow, while millions are still dealing with brutal cold and dangerous travel conditions. At least 119 storm-related deaths have been reported nationwide since late January. The worst of the cold will ease this week, though highs will stay 5-15 degrees below normal, with light snow possible midweek from the Ohio Valley into the mid-Atlantic.

The lingering cold across the East will set the stage for another wave of snow for many this week. Also, dense fog led to a nearly 60-vehicle pileup that injured at least 10 people and forced the closure of one of the region's busiest highways for hours.

@1QLeadership Question: How can university presidents creatively lead conference realignment while protecting academic priorities and strengthening institutional and league stability for the long term? Dr. John R. Porter of Lindenwood University, and Dr. Yancy Freeman of University of Tennessee Martin, explore how university presidents balance athletics and academics. The two CEO's discuss leading through conference realignment challenges in the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). They also cover using creative, business-minded strategy to stabilize and grow their respective institutions. Presidents' role in athletics The guests explain that athletics is often the most visible and attention grabbing part of a university, driving applications, enrollment, school pride, donations, and media exposure, which forces presidents to devote significant time and strategic focus to sports. They emphasize that athletics must enhance the academic mission, not overshadow it, so they deliberately balance funding and messaging between academic priorities and athletic success. Stabilizing the Ohio Valley Conference When member schools left or considered leaving, the Board of Presidents responded with unusually candid, frequent conversations to reaffirm commitment, increase exit fees, and engage consultants to craft a long term strategy and structure for the conference. They describe this moment of "friction" as ultimately positive, creating tighter relationships among presidents, clearer shared vision, and a more intentional search for a new commissioner who can elevate the OVC. Creativity, strategy, and leadership style Dr. Porter applies business discipline and growth thinking—like building a multi-entity education system and treating Lindenwood as an enterprise—to drive execution, revenue growth, and investment capacity that can support both academics and athletics. Dr. Freeman focuses on strategic planning rooted in enrollment management and student experience, contributing an outcome-driven approach to conference strategy and to aligning athletics with campus-wide priorities. -Tai M.

BEWILDERMENT, THE OHIO COMPANY, AND COLONIAL EXPANSION Colleague Robert G. Parkinson. Parkinson explains that "bewilderment" is the central theme of his book, drawing a thematic parallel to Joseph Conrad'sHeart of Darkness to describe the confusion and violence of the early American frontier. The conversation shifts to the Ohio Company, a massive land speculation venture involving George Washington and the Lee family, with the Cresapfamily serving as their essential partners and scouts. Washington frequently visited the Cresaps in Oldtown, Maryland, utilizing them as the "spear point" for English colonial expansion into the Ohio Valley, a move that agitated the Frenchand Indigenous tribes.

It's cold and grey and the wind is a blowin' here in the Ohio Valley, so both the Stapletons and Chapmans are doing what families have always done in such times: gathering around the fire. For us, making space for fire in our homes has been, quite literally, life-changing, making winter warmer and life more human. Today, we're reflecting on why this is, examining what fire teaches us about God and ourselves, man and woman, and who we are as a people. This is a public episode.

The Sipping & Switching Society is a modular-railroading group associated with HO-scale railroading and our next guest has a lot of knowledge about the society and we decided he was the one to talk with. The Society is originally based in North Carolina but there also versions in the Ohio Valley and Cincinnati areas. With a well-defined "module standard," distinguishing it from other modular approaches the are modules typically 30″ wide and often built in 2-foot length increments but this can vary. Construction uses a "waffle-style" framework to make modules lightweight but stiff enough for transport and repeated assembly.  There's alignment pins/holes to ensure that the track ends match up exactly, typical track arrangement is two mainline tracks close to the "public" side plus an inside track for switching/yard operations. The result: very fast setup and teardown compared to less standardized modular systems. It's a very informative podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!
