President Donald Trump visited the southeastern Oklahoma City of Durant on Thursday, spurring Republican voters to turn out and vote in the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Hundreds spent the drizzly, dreary day in the rain, clad in red ball caps, American flag shirts, and cowboy hats, waiting to hear from the president.“Thirty-three days from now the people of Oklahoma are going to defeat the radical left again,” Trump told the cheering crowd.Hiring momentum slowed in September following the previous month's blockbuster jobs report, U.S. government data show. The economy added 29,000 new jobs last month, from the downwardly revised 133,000 in August, according to a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.

Writer-director Lee Kirk joins No Film School's GG Hawkins to break down the making of Nimrods, his Green Day-inspired coming-of-age road movie. Kirk traces his path from studying acting at DePaul University to learning screenwriting and eventually directing, and explains how his acting background continues to shape the way he works with performers. He also discusses developing Nimrods with Billie Joe Armstrong, weaving real stories from Green Day into the screenplay, casting and rehearsing a young ensemble, building a collaborative crew, creating a timeless visual texture, embracing improvisation, and shooting a live Green Day concert with thousands of actual fans. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Lee Kirk discuss... How Kirk's acting training at DePaul University led him toward screenwriting and directing Learning story structure through John Truby's 22-step approach and The Anatomy of Story How Chris Messina encouraged Kirk to direct his first feature, The Giant Mechanical Man Why an acting background can help directors understand how to communicate with performers How Billie Joe Armstrong approached Kirk with the initial premise for Nimrods Reverse engineering a feature screenplay from a predetermined Green Day concert ending Using real stories from Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool as inspiration for the screenplay Drawing from movies like The Goonies, Vacation, Footloose, and Risky Business to establish the film's tone Making a contemporary movie feel nostalgic through vinyl, cassettes, camcorders, old cars, and other analog textures What Kirk looks for when hiring department heads and why collaborative problem-solving matters Turning an Oklahoma City junkyard into a convincing punk venue Casting Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, and the rest of the young ensemble Using actors' existing talents to add specificity and production value to a movie Conducting chemistry reads over Zoom when the budget made in-person auditions impractical Why rehearsal is less about locking down performances and more about making actors comfortable enough to play on set Helping actors get out of their heads by giving them time, space, and permission to experiment Using long pauses as a directing tool to help actors access emotion Why Kirk deliberately maintains a calm demeanor on set, even when production is stressful Finding unexpected moments through ad-libs and improvisation, including a spontaneous Fred Armisen scene Shooting 28 days in Oklahoma City before moving to Los Angeles for four additional days Capturing the Green Day concert with four cameras and roughly 2,000 real Green Day fans Why Kirk specifically budgeted for large numbers of extras after lessons learned on previous productions Kirk's advice for emerging filmmakers on studying story structure, watching films analytically, writing frequently, and taking advantage of accessible filmmaking tools Memorable Quotes: “I listen to these tapes and everything changed for me then.” “I feel like that's kinda like when the best stuff happens because now everyone's out of their comfort zone, but everyone's prepared so everyone can do, make that pivot.” “Even if I'm not calm, even if I'm feeling so stressed out on the inside, I just put forward this feeling like I'm good. I know what I'm doing. Everything's fine.” “Story is everything.” Guests: Lee Kirk Resources: Nimrods on IMDb Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

The Oklahoma City Comets won the Pacific Coast League championship series and then won the Triple-A national championship game, capping off a productive season for Dodgers minor league affiliates. All four full-season affiliates made the postseason, and three levels saw Dodgers minor leaguers win league MVP – top prospect Josue De Paula in the Double-A Texas League, outfielder Charles Davalan in the High-A Midwest League, and first baseman Easton Shelton in the Class-A California League. In addition, Scott Hennessey in Triple-A, Eric Wedge in Double-A, and Jair Fernandez in Great Lakes all won manager of the year.  With De Paula making his major league debut in September and fellow top-100 prospect Mike Sirota reaching Triple-A in the final week-plus of the season, coupled with major-league-ready outfielders James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard already with Oklahoma City, the Dodgers have a lot of functional minor league depth they can tap into as needed in 2027.

Carmelo Anthony pasó de ser uno de los grandes anotadores de su generación y 10 veces All-Star a quedarse más de un año fuera de la NBA. Su caída empezó en Oklahoma City, se aceleró de forma brutal en Houston y terminó con una situación que pocos habrían imaginado unos años antes: ningún equipo parecía dispuesto a darle un sitio.En este vídeo repasamos qué ocurrió realmente en aquel tramo de su carrera. Su ataque ya no encajaba igual en la NBA moderna, su defensa se había convertido en un problema y Carmelo todavía tenía dificultades para aceptar que ya no podía exigir el mismo rol que había tenido durante toda su vida. Houston fue el punto de ruptura: solo 10 partidos, malos resultados con él en pista y una salida que acabó dejándole completamente fuera de la liga.Pero la historia no termina ahí. Portland le dio una última oportunidad y Carmelo tuvo que demostrar que todavía podía ayudar aceptando algo que antes parecía impensable: dejar de ser la estrella y convertirse en un jugador de rol. Esa adaptación terminó alargando su carrera y deja una de las lecciones más interesantes de sus últimos años: cuando eres una estrella, el equipo se adapta a ti; cuando eres un jugador de rol, eres tú quien tiene que adaptarse al equipo.

Do you love supporting Oklahoma artists? Well, it doesn't get much bigger than the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition's annual 12x12 show. This annual fundraising event returns October 3, bringing works from 175 artists into one space at the Dunlap Codding building on Oklahoma City's Film Row. Attending the event not only helps support local artists, but it helps prop up the organization that spends 365 days a year supporting local visual artists. We stopped by the OVAC offices at Dunlap Codding to learn more about their event from their administrative and artist relations manager Ariana Weir-Temoshok and also heard from two of this year's featured artists, Katie Graham and Todd E. Clark.

Coach Tory and Coach Don outline episode 439's segments. In “Did You Know,” they discuss the U.S. Women's National Team playing in the World Cup in Oklahoma City and a longer-term evaluation plan toward the 2028 Olympics, citing the deep talent pool and benefits of ongoing team-building. City of the Week is Charleston, South Carolina. A listener asks whether college softball will adopt automated balls and strikes after the NCAA approved ABS for college baseball in 2027; they expect it eventually but note cost/logistics and debate how it could affect strike-zone manipulation. They then critique a social media post contrasting school ball and travel ball, arguing both settings include winning and development, quality varies, and collaboration best serves players. The coaching tip addresses players using cell phones in the dugout, recommending clear rules such as collecting and locking phones during games and coaches modeling the same behavior.Support the show

As the country reflects on 25 years since 9/11, we're revisiting this conversation about the lasting trauma first responders can carry long after an emergency is over. Chris Fields spent 31 years with the Oklahoma City Fire Department. In 1995, he responded to the Oklahoma City bombing and became part of one of the tragedy's most iconic images, carrying three-month-old Baylee Almon from the wreckage. Years later, after cumulative trauma and PTSD began to take a toll, Fields had to confront what it meant to ask for help. Chris joins host Julie Rose to talk about the pressure first responders feel to stay strong, the cost of burying painful experiences, and how vulnerability and treatment helped him begin to heal.

"But every time they had different stories to tell... about how they reflect on this, how they've grown, how they've become more forgiving, things like that." Early in his career, Terry Rubin worked for The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour in New York City and was sent to Oklahoma City within 24 hours of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. His job was to find the stories, connect with the right people to interview, and manage the details of coordinating crew and journalists to interview people onsite. He found a bombed-out church near the site, its beautiful stained glass windows completely shattered, and the stories just started to flow. The relationships Terry developed deepened over time, and the crew returned to that community weeks and months later, hearing how their experience continued to shape their lives.  The stories evolved over time, incorporating more memories, hearing the experiences of others nearby, and with more perspective on how those events changed their lives forever. That's the thing about these big events we experience and hear about: There are millions of stories that come out of them. Each individual has their own perception of events, each person's life changes in small and significant ways that we can't recognize until years later. Those pivotal moments don't necessarily happen at that moment in time. They happen when we look back from a different perspective, when we notice our own courage and resilience, when we realize how our relationships with ourselves and others shifted. As Terry and I talked about his experience then, I was transported to where I was on that day and the way that event changed our communities after. I wasn't there in Oklahoma City, I don't have a direct connection to the tragedy. But I do have stories related to it, and they're relevant and meaningful. The "where were you when...?" questions can bring deep connection, as long we are open to the ripple effects of events and not comparing our experiences in a way that judges them for proximity. Listeners, now it's your turn: Did our stories remind you of your answers to the "where were you when..." question? Can you see now how those experiences shaped your current worldview?  Can you find a meaningful moment that was a direct result of each of those experiences? What do those moments offer in terms of lessons for you? Key Takeaways Pivotal Story: A last-minute assignment to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing coverage launched Terry Rubin's career, accelerating his promotion to field producer at age 29. Core Insight: The experience taught Rubin that meaningful stories are found in small, human moments (e.g., a pastor's resolve, a child's song), not just the epic events themselves. Business Application: This insight now drives Rubin's work at The Professional Communicators, where he helps clients use strategic storytelling to make abstract business concepts tangible and build stronger connections with their intended audience.

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the fight you're facing isn't evidence that you've lost God's favor—but part of the journey into it?In **Favor After the Fight**, Apostle Ren Schuffman looks at the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and challenges the way we often think about God's favor.Gideon wasn't standing confidently on a battlefield when God called him a mighty man of valor. He was hiding. Israel was oppressed. Resources were scarce. Gideon's circumstances looked nothing like the identity God spoke over him.But something began to change when Gideon chose to trust what God said and put his faith into action.Sometimes we're waiting for God to give us another sign while God is waiting for us to respond to what He's already spoken.This message explores:• Why resistance doesn't necessarily mean you've missed God• What Gideon's sacrifice teaches us about active faith• Why God can speak identity over you before you see it yourself• What happens when circumstances shrink instead of grow• How obedience prepares you to walk into what God has spoken• Why the fight doesn't get the final wordYou may be looking at the battle and wondering where God's favor went.Don't quit there.The fight does end—and favor does come.Watch **Favor After the Fight**, share it with someone who's fighting through a difficult season, and subscribe for more messages from Freedom Fellowship Church in Oklahoma City.Freedom Fellowship ChurchTRAIN | EQUIP | DEPLOY━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.

We discussed the poor performance in the 14-6 win over New Mexico. Our deep frustration with the offense, particularly John Mateer and Ben Arbuckle, ranges from the play-calling to the lack of production and rests with an inability to make necessary changes—benching Mateer for Whitt Neubauer. The defense deserves high praise for its strong performance despite being on the field for a long time. To say we have a bleak outlook for the rest of the season is an understatement.

[Special bonus episode in reaction to the FDA addressing testosterone use in women.] For eighty years, clinicians have been using testosterone to treat women. There is still no FDA-approved testosterone product for women in the United States. In September, the FDA convened a public workshop to examine that gap. In this conversation, recorded in the days beforehand, Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith, MD, a dual board-certified endocrinologist and the founder of Modern Endocrine in Oklahoma City. Dr. Cassie trained at the Harold Hamm Diabetes Center and spent years running pharmaceutical clinical trials before building a telehealth practice that now serves patients across 45 states. She has seen the approval process from the inside, and she has opinions about it. Together they take on what the hearing might actually accomplish, why the approval gap has persisted this long, and what it costs the women sitting in their exam rooms. They get into the money: why a hormone that pulls patients off statins, blood pressure medication, and antidepressants is not an attractive product to develop. They get into the paperwork: why testosterone sits on the controlled-substance schedule alongside opioids, what that does to access, and why a patient who forgets her prescription on vacation simply goes without.

Tonight's first guest, Mark Peak, had his first Sasquatch sighting in North Idaho, at the base of HooDoo Mountain. It happened one summer while he was out walking his dog. When Mark first spotted the Sasquatch, he thought he was looking at a man wearing a white sweatshirt, but it didn't take long for him to realize just how wrong he was.That sighting was only the first of many experiences Mark has had with Sasquatch over the years. We hope you'll tune in and listen as he shares those experiences with us.If you'd like to purchase a copy of Mark's book, HooDoo, please visit… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1Z1VQRY?lv=shuf&bestFormat=true&fbclid=IwY2xjawUZd1BwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMXFXak9JbW1yazNncGpOMjBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeqQkMnrtcdJTQAgKbOFiPUtOlGXIG1xKLRJi4kXDDcOqhUjaJSrUNbMZQFYA_aem_C-TyOci3apkzBtVHk-wjkA&rsd=5s4bYZppOPzjJoenaUUU72V4iozVDihTYm19r9SCXP4M0Yvv8YjRA4PdwSpnmP%2B0HE7BStCbQFN4jQceGczP6lL%2BtCeH2oJC%2F1kBbkj9e7lztyw%3D&edk=AQIDAHi1lw%2FM8UbbSMD9ScOOFEmBMHMthHeEhqDaQYPJUAX3jQEaCAibxxRafIY1COvd9xFbAAAAfjB8BgkqhkiG9w0BBwagbzBtAgEAMGgGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMUwHygVwKNBAt%2FIthAgEQgDuGQtF2fPa%2FdMQ5eqdffFld%2F7jRRRFf8zWtFfJ3qtBIO2GBhiEv%2BWmR7yPBpOAMTFYEnjiq6koCbOfYJw%3D%3D&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fm_mwn_dp_JT2XJ3Q6Y8KSJAGPGKEK&channelId=702&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fm_mwn_dp_JT2XJ3Q6Y8KSJAGPGKEK&plpRedirect=mhFallbackIf you'd like to purchase a copy of Mark's book, Winter Kills: Death Lurks in Paradise, please visit…https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLWYC1RM?lv=shuf&bestFormat=true&fbclid=IwY2xjawUZd5pwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMXFXak9JbW1yazNncGpOMjBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEec9VU-_hCWU06rdRiYAS0iS-A6fwtpdMjNO4sszS7xi2SWx7qkieyCvU9E8M_aem_SjLQUbTLO3XtVXL8iacVvQ&rsd=6iSMaKdr0DAX05CdM1IjFTD6F%2FpE82%2FsppWHQ3uE0pLmfN2n9acnJT0aXq64XOKyToKhoxVsSYMKlCfv3z%2BDwL%2BGMLTSRAxhEq6yGjsc3c0i&edk=AQIDAHi1lw%2FM8UbbSMD9ScOOFEmBMHMthHeEhqDaQYPJUAX3jQFCyZHBjC%2FlW82ii61QZqpkAAAAfjB8BgkqhkiG9w0BBwagbzBtAgEAMGgGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQM75X7B2iipWDGXYIRAgEQgDvAIKjKXelKzG704zQS3zcrWPASNCOHeB5Ftc1L3WBV%2F3%2Fnk2sgo%2FofntnDx7rrm1No2DoIeuMmoiDhAw%3D%3D&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fm_mwn_dp_GFBARF7NCW2QQMYM1QKA&channelId=702&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fm_mwn_dp_GFBARF7NCW2QQMYM1QKA&plpRedirect=mhFallbackTonight's second guests, Angel and Jeremy Allen, live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Over the years, the two of them have had numerous Sasquatch encounters. Neither of them was convinced that Sasquatch were out there until they had their first encounter.Angel and Jeremy had their first sighting in 1999, at Chickasaw National Recreation Area, in Sulphur, Oklahoma. At the time, they were with a group of 10 friends. They had all decided to go night swimming at Little Niagara Falls, and their group was the only one there.After spending some time swimming, a storm started to blow in, so they packed up and headed to the main parking lot, near the restrooms. After making it to the parking lot, they suddenly noticed a figure standing near the restrooms, under one of the lights. They yelled at the figure, and when they did, it ran off. As they watched it run away into the deep woods. When it did that, they noticed several unusual things about it that told them what they had just seen.Little did Angel and Jeremy know, that would be just the first of many Sasquatch sightings and encounters they would have in the years to come.We hope you'll tune in and listen to them share those experiences with you. If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Bethany Children's Health Center is a private, nonprofit pediatric hospital and rehabilitation center in Bethany, Oklahoma, west of Oklahoma City. It specializes in caring for children with serious medical conditions, disabilities, injuries, and complex rehabilitation needs.What makes it unusual is that it is the only inpatient pediatric rehabilitation facility in Oklahoma.It began in 1898 as an orphanage, founded by Mattie Mallory. It evolved over more than a century into a specialized children's hospital and was known for many years as The Children's Center Rehabilitation Hospital. In 2022, it adopted the name Bethany Children's Health Center.Albert Gray is Executive Director, Chairman of the Board of The Bethany Health Center. Hired originally to close the Center due to its poor financial performance, Gray instead turned the organization around, leading it to become one of Oklahoma's foremost healthcare providers for children with disabilities.Its mission emphasizes that every child has equal worth and should be helped to reach his or her greatest potential.Listen to Albert Gray talk about the children who benefit from the health center and a major donation on the podcast and website VoicesOfOklahoma.com.

Dave came to Adam's house to record and brought a host, a co-host, a topic, and a bottle of whiskey. No laptop. No microphones. No headphones. No headphone amp. Second time he has pulled that off. In his defense, he already hauled a computer over there for a permanent setup so he would not have to schlep gear across town every week, and in Adam's defense, that computer is still sitting there unplugged. So they went home, came back the next night, and recorded anyway. Second night in a row. For such a time as this.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, every person they asked gave them the same name. Having used Select now, they can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, whether you are leading a pilgrimage or joining one, go to selectinternationaltours.com and look at what they have ready for you.First, the Wiffle Ball tournament. There is a tradition in the Catholic Tulsa community on Labor Day, admittedly a niche corner of it, where the Hanisch family turns their entire backyard into a real Wiffle Ball field. Scoreboard. Foul poles. Pitching mound. Dirt. Bases. Bleachers. Concession stand. Instant replay. A bubble machine that fires when somebody goes deep. Eight teams, double elimination. Adam and Dave play with Adam's brother-in-law Holden, Mark Gabriel, and Brandon Bargus under the name Wiffle While You Work. Roughly ten years of this, and they had never won it. This year they made the championship game and lost by a run, 6 to 5. Ten years ago the wives played and it was a hang. Now teams recruit former ballplayers, one of whom had a family thing come up, which Adam called lucky out loud. Shout out to Chris and Carrie Hanisch, who carry the whole ordeal, and to Mark Gabriel, who sponsored it this year. This is what it looks like when a family says we have something to offer and then offers it, every year, on purpose.Which got Dave onto something he has been chewing on since they were all at Brandon Sheard's place for a rock put. Heaviest rock, longest throw, get the men in a line. Everybody looked at the guy who was obviously going to win, and he won, and it did not matter. The women and kids watched the men compete, and Dave watched what it did to the community. So here is the idea: whenever your friends gather, have a men's competition. Every time. Croquet, a heavy rock, flipping a quarter closest to a line, it does not matter what it is. What matters is that it is only for men, because the boys need to see it. A boy needs to look at that line and understand that he is a boy and those are men, and then he needs to be summoned across. Not by his own father. By another man in the community who calls him up and gives him the right to stand and compete. That is a rite of passage, and American culture has almost none left. It is also cheap, easy, and a lot more fun than standing around. There were zero women in the Wiffle Ball tournament this year, and there were young boys playing next to the men, faster than the men, and considerably less sore the next day.The campout is in a couple of weeks, last weekend of September like always, and it is more than full. Brandon Sheard will be there. Tomas from Ultimo Cigar will be there. Get away, pray with the monks, see all the men. If you missed it, put next year on the calendar now.The pour is Octomore 16.2 from Bruichladdich, a super peated Islay scotch aged five years in wine and sherry casks at 58.1 percent. A 2025 limited release. If you like peat, start with Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg, then understand that Octomore was the first distillery to put out something genuinely insane on the peat scale. Others have since gone higher in parts per million, and most of those were gimmicks that came and went. Dave's honest rule on expensive bottles is that a $200 bottle is almost never $100 better than a $100 bottle. Octomore was the first time he thought it actually was. A whiskey after his own heart.Then the topic: the universal destination of goods, Catechism 2402, which sits under the Seventh Commandment. Thou shalt not steal. That placement tells you something. God entrusted the earth and its resources to the common stewardship of mankind, to care for it, master it by labor, and enjoy its fruits, and the goods of creation are destined for the whole human race. Not for you specifically. All of it, the oceans on planets nobody has found yet down to the bacteria underfoot, aimed at the good of mankind.Adam gave the line the whole episode hangs on. The five acres you own are truly yours. But not merely yours.So why private property at all? Aquinas gives three reasons, and they hold up. Industriousness, because a man tends his own garden harder than he tends the community garden, not from selfishness but because shared duty spreads thin and nobody owns the outcome. Order, because affairs run more smoothly when each man is responsible for a specific thing. And peace, because quarrels multiply when property is held in common without distinction. Buy a boat with four families and find out. Somebody leaves trash in it, somebody scrapes the hull, somebody drives it hard and it breaks down, and now you are all negotiating who pays. Adam gave the other side its due: shared ownership lowers the cost of entry, and if every man is limited to a suburban backyard there is simply no beef, because a cow needs more land than that. Four families together can afford ground that feeds all four. There is a place for each. Every community has to find the order.The two ditches are individualism and collectivism, and this is the road between them. Private property is not a concession to greed. It flows out of what a family is. Sacred means set apart, and a family is set apart from the community by its nature, so it makes sense that a piece of creation gets set apart to match. A man needs somewhere he can say what is inside here is exclusive to my family, because the family itself is exclusive by nature. Raising your children on your own ground is not a detour from the good of mankind. It is how you serve it. Dave put it plainly: he is raising four daughters and three boys, and he needs the Minihan family raising strong holy young men, and Adam needs the same from him. Families are not sufficient to themselves. That is the debt.All of which is stewardship. This is God's house and you are managing it, and the King is coming back to see how it was kept, and eventually He wants all of it back. Your children most of all. Their souls were handed to you to tend so that they flourish into who they were made to be, and the fruit of that gets shared with everybody.St. John Chrysostom says surplus has to be counted as stolen goods when the wealthy ignore the destitute in front of them. Dave admitted the part that is actually hard. When he has extra eggs, he knows it instantly and gives them away gladly, no friction. Natural goods are easy to read. Man made goods are not. He cannot tell when he has a surplus of the things he bought, and he is worse at parting with them, even though they are of a lower order than food. He has too many T-shirts. He knows he has too many T-shirts. He pulls one out that has not been worn in fifteen years and hears himself say but what if. He is also fair about the old quotes on the unworn shoes in your closet belonging to the barefoot, which come from a world where a man owned one pair of shoes, not work boots and dress shoes and tennis shoes. Owning a few pairs is not theft. But if you can afford the next pair and cannot afford to give in proportion to your station, that is worth an honest look, because self love is pernicious and easy to feed.Adam brought it back to the ground. Haylee was in Oklahoma City, he finally got the kids down, he was not feeling well, and he was in bed when he remembered the chickens were not up and the pigs had no water. He laid there a long time talking himself out of it. What he learned about himself is how easily he can do that, and how good the excuses sound. Six months ago these were the responsibilities he was praying for. Everybody does this. You want the promotion, you get the promotion, and then you resent the people and problems that came with it, when the problems were the thing you asked for. That is where virtue lives: doing the thing when nobody is watching and your appetites are voting against it. Protect what you were given. Provide for it. Establish your children so they can stand without you, because you do not want to be a helicopter dad when they are 28. And the man who buries his talent in the yard was not evil. He was just tired.Francis de Sales, in Introduction to the Devout Life, lands it. A man may possess wealth. He must not let wealth possess his heart. Detachment is what keeps money a servant to the family first and then to the poor, in that order, because subsidiarity is real and you do not take food off your children's plates to be generous elsewhere. God does call men to wealth. The virtue of magnificence needs them. St. Peter's does not get built without them, and neither does your parish church. The question to keep asking is whether a thing gives you comfort or gives you happiness, because those are not the same and one of them will quietly own you.Truly yours. Not merely yours. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDShowing up to record a podcast with a topic, a bottle of whiskey, and none of the recording equipmentThe permanently installed computer that nobody has plugged inThe Labor Day Wiffle Ball tournament in the Catholic Tulsa community, and the Hanisch backyard field with foul poles, instant replay, and a bubble machineTen years of Wiffle While You Work, a...

Hunter education is finding a new path into classrooms, opening doors for the next generation of hunters and conservationists. The latest Sportsmen's Voice Roundup arrives with hunting seasons opening across the country and a major hunter education development in New Hampshire. The state Board of Education has approved New Hampshire Fish and Game's hunter education program through the Learn Everywhere initiative, allowing students in grades 9–12 to voluntarily enroll, earn school credit, and complete training that can prepare them for hunting licenses. The move follows a multiyear effort to bring hunter education into schools through legislation. While the original bill did not pass, sportsmen's groups and legislative partners found another route to reach students without requiring schools to offer the program. The approach preserves local flexibility while making an established, vetted curriculum more accessible to young people. The conversation also covers a California update involving concealed carry and archery hunters, President Trump's executive order directing a review of federal gray wolf protections, and recent activities from legislative sportsmen's caucuses in Wisconsin and Tennessee. There's also a closer look at how free and discounted hunting licenses can affect state wildlife agency funding and federal matching dollars, plus reminders about the upcoming Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation Summit and field opportunities in Oklahoma City.

Neste episódio do Café Belgrado, analisamos o Minnesota Timberwolves para a temporada 2026–27 depois da chegada de LaMelo Ball, uma troca que pode alterar profundamente a maneira como a equipe joga.Chris Finch reconheceu que o Wolves exigiu demais de Anthony Edwards como armador na última temporada. Com LaMelo, a ideia é devolver Ant a mais situações sem a bola, gerar mais oportunidades de catch-and-shoot e diminuir o peso da criação contra defesas preparadas para dobrá-lo.Também discutimos como LaMelo pode melhorar o jogo de Rudy Gobert como alvo de lobs, o espaço para uma evolução ofensiva de Jaden McDaniels e as mudanças na formação depois das saídas de Naz Reid e Julius Randle.Entramos também na filosofia de construção do Minnesota: uma franquia que continua fazendo grandes movimentos enquanto busca o primeiro título de sua história. Falamos da aposta em LaMelo, dos riscos relacionados à saúde e da mudança de contexto para um jogador que agora chega a uma equipe em que uma eliminação precoce nos playoffs será considerada decepção.Ainda no episódio: Jonathan Kuminga, Ayo Dosunmu, Rudy Gobert, a rotação de jovens do Wolves e o tamanho real das ambições de Minnesota numa Conferência Oeste com Oklahoma City e San Antonio entre os principais rivais.

As a new academic year kicks off, how do advisors support students without setting themselves on fire in the process?

Episode DescriptionSeptember 11: The Recovery That Never Really EndedTwenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the skyline of Lower Manhattan has been rebuilt—but recovery is about far more than buildings.In this episode of Emergency Management Network, Todd DeVoe examines the long aftermath of 9/11: rebuilding Ground Zero, caring for responders and survivors, confronting World Trade Center-related illnesses, preserving memory, and understanding why the emotional wounds of that morning remain so powerful a quarter-century later.Recent confrontations near Ground Zero during the 25th anniversary observances remind us that disaster memory does not follow an emergency manager's recovery timeline. Places become symbols. Grief becomes generational. Anger can survive long after debris has been removed.The episode also explores a sobering reality of long-term recovery: more FDNY members have now died from World Trade Center-related illnesses than were killed in the attacks themselves. Thousands of responders and survivors continue to receive monitoring and treatment, while researchers are still examining health consequences that may span generations.September 11 challenges the way emergency managers think about recovery. Infrastructure can be restored. Businesses can reopen. Memorials can be built. But how do we measure the recovery of people?Perhaps the lesson 25 years later is that we need to add something to “Never Forget.”Never stop recovering.Show NotesEmergency Management NetworkEpisode: September 11: The Recovery That Never Really EndedSubtitle: 25 Years of Rebuilding, Recovery, Memory, and HealingHost: Todd DeVoeTwenty-five years after September 11, 2001, this episode looks beyond the attacks themselves and examines what happened afterward.The World Trade Center site has been rebuilt. Lower Manhattan has transformed. Transportation, businesses, residences, and public spaces returned. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum now preserve the physical memory of what happened there.But rebuilding a place and recovering from a disaster are not necessarily the same thing.In This EpisodeTodd examines September 11 through the lens of long-term disaster recovery, including the physical reconstruction of Lower Manhattan and the much longer process of human recovery.The episode explores the continuing health consequences facing firefighters, police officers, construction workers, volunteers, survivors, residents, and others exposed to the World Trade Center disaster environment.It also considers the idea of the long disaster—that deaths and consequences associated with a catastrophic event may continue years or even decades after the response phase has ended.The 25th anniversary also demonstrated how powerful disaster memory remains. Confrontations near Ground Zero during anniversary demonstrations showed that the site is more than a geographic location. For many Americans, responders, survivors, and families, it remains sacred ground connected to grief, sacrifice, anger, and national memory.That raises an important question for emergency managers:When does recovery actually end?Key ThemesRecovery is not reconstruction.Rebuilding roads, buildings, transportation systems, businesses, and infrastructure is essential, but physical reconstruction represents only one dimension of recovery.Disaster mortality can continue for decades.World Trade Center-related illnesses demonstrate that the human consequences of a disaster may emerge long after debris removal and official recovery operations have ended.Responder health is a recovery responsibility.The obligation to responders cannot end when an incident is demobilized. Occupational exposure monitoring, healthcare, mental health support, and long-term research must be considered part of catastrophic-disaster planning.Memory has geography.Places such as Ground Zero, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg, Oklahoma City, Shanksville, and the Pentagon become connected to collective memory. Emergency managers should recognize that communities may attach meaning, grief, identity, and trauma to physical locations for generations.Social recovery matters.Disasters can create fear, anger, mistrust, discrimination, and division. Restoring social cohesion can be every bit as important—and considerably more difficult—than restoring infrastructure.Recovery belongs to survivors, not our planning calendar.Emergency managers work with recovery frameworks, timelines, objectives, and milestones. Human beings do not necessarily recover according to those schedules.The Question for Emergency ManagersSeptember 11 forces us to reconsider what we mean when we say a community has “recovered.”Is recovery complete when the debris is removed?When businesses reopen?When infrastructure is restored?When a replacement building opens?Or does recovery continue as long as responders are becoming sick, families are grieving, survivors are seeking treatment, and another generation is learning what happened?Twenty-five years after September 11, perhaps the answer is clear:The response ended. The recovery did not.Final ThoughtEvery September we say:Never Forget.Perhaps the emergency management profession should add another promise:Never stop recovering.Never stop studying what happened. Never stop caring for responders. Never stop supporting survivors and families. Never stop examining the long-term consequences. Never stop learning.Because rebuilding a skyline is difficult.Rebuilding people is harder. This is a public episode.

A strong convention outcome starts before the first session and continues long after the exhibit hall closes. Association of Water Technologies Executive Director Matt Coffindaffer explains how deliberate preparation, wider professional relationships, and volunteer service can turn AWT 2026 into practical value for an industrial water treatment career or business.   Find the Right Place to Volunteer AWT offers yearlong committee service, shorter task-force assignments, and opportunities across technical research, marketing, membership, regulatory affairs, business resources, young professionals, Women of Water, legislative work, and charity. Matt emphasizes that there is no single ideal volunteer: owners, technical directors, sales and service professionals, field technicians, suppliers, and newcomers can contribute according to their time, experience, and interests.   For business owners, committee work can strengthen peer relationships and provide access to practical operating resources. Newer professionals can also use the Young Professionals Committee to understand the organization, explore career paths, and learn about different specialties within industrial water treatment.   Turn Convention Attendance into Business Value AWT 2026 in Oklahoma City brings together more than 1,000 industry peers and about 130 exhibitors. The program prioritizes technical content, while the September 15 Business Owners Meeting gives owners and management-team members a focused setting for business education, networking, and market insights from AWT's benchmarking survey. Matt frames the convention's value in operational terms: practitioners share lessons shaped by field experience, suppliers can support the full water treatment service chain, and one useful insight or connection may help a company solve problems more efficiently. The strongest return comes from engaging beyond familiar contacts.   Prepare, Connect, and Divide the Learning Before arriving, review the schedule, select sessions, read available papers, and prepare questions. Because several technical tracks run simultaneously, coordinate with peers, attend different presentations, and compare notes afterward. First-time attendees can use the first-timer ribbon—and the Scaling UP! H2O "magic button"—to begin conversations more naturally. Trace adds a practical exhibit-hall strategy: review the exhibitor list and map, note vendors connected to specific questions, walk the full floor once for orientation, then return for focused conversations. If attending alone, approach the event as a "faithful translator" responsible for bringing useful information back to the team.

Steph Curry has earned virtually unlimited goodwill in Golden State. But is that goodwill about to face its toughest test?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher challenges the annual fantasy that Curry and the Warriors have one more championship run left in them. Golden State is coming off a 37-win season, made no transformative offseason addition and is relying on a 38-year-old superstar whose workload already has to be carefully managed. Yet Curry could remain among the NBA's highest-paid players for years to come.Ric explains why Curry deserves every dollar after transforming the Warriors and the NBA—but also why his salary, age and diminished supporting cast create a late-career situation unlike the ones faced by Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan. Can Warriors fans simply enjoy Curry's remaining magic without expecting another championship? And if the losses pile up, will they?Ric also looks beyond the NBA storylines the national networks are likely to push, explaining why Oklahoma City and San Antonio are more compelling than LeBron James' first week in Philadelphia, why the Western Conference may be more top-heavy than wide open, and why the Eastern Conference could become the NBA's real battleground after a massive migration and consolidation of star talent.Plus: why last season's panic over tanking was overblown, and Ric closes with a personal remembrance of his former ESPN colleague Barry Melrose and the lesson he took from not reaching out before it was too late.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:16 – The NBA storylines Ric believes actually matter01:40 – Why the LeBron-in-Philadelphia hype misses the point02:55 – OKC and San Antonio: the matchup Ric really wants to see03:40 – The annual Steph Curry “one more ring” fantasy04:25 – Why the Warriors no longer look like contenders05:03 – Curry's next contract and the coming test of Warriors fans05:21 – Ric addresses his history with Golden State06:15 – How team relationships influence sports media coverage07:38 – Why access has become king in sports television07:43 – Ric's real feelings about Steph Curry and the Warriors09:02 – Why the end of the Warriors dynasty fascinates Ric09:30 – What makes Curry different from past NBA icons10:25 – Bird, Magic and Jordan: how legends exited the NBA12:11 – Why Curry's late-career situation is different13:05 – The reality of Golden State's chances in the West14:09 – Does Curry deserve to remain one of the NBA's highest paid?15:16 – Why Curry's salary could eventually create backlash16:07 – The limits of Steph's late-career magic17:03 – The dilemma: Golden State needs more Curry but must play him less17:28 – Enjoy the Steph Curry show—without expecting another trophy18:06 – Why the Eastern Conference could deliver the NBA's best drama18:59 – How deep could the East really be?19:24 – Why the NBA's tanking panic was overblown20:15 – Remembering Barry Melrose21:34 – Ric's regret—and the lesson Barry's death left behind22:41 – Final thoughts and sign-off#NBA #StephenCurry #StephCurry #Warriors #GoldenStateWarriors #LeBronJames #76ers #Thunder #Spurs #EasternConference #BarryMelrose #OnTheBall #RicBucherSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.
