In this episode, Niall speaks with Dr. Marjorie Woollacott, Professor Emerita of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon and former President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences. After more than 30 years of NIH-funded research on motor control, balance, and rehabilitation, a profound meditation experience led her to question her understanding of consciousness and reality. In this conversation, they explore: — Why Dr. Woollacott's research with nonverbal autistic children is raising questions about telepathic abilities — How the brain may act as a filter that limits our perception of a much larger reality — The scientific evidence for reincarnation from researchers including Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker — What synchronicities may reveal about the interconnected nature of consciousness — Why pursuing a parallel line of research allowed Dr. Woollacott to study consciousness while building her academic career You can learn more about Dr. Woollacott's work at https://marjoriewoollacott.com. --- Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D., is an Emeritus Professor of Human Physiology at the University of Oregon and a renowned neuroscientist specializing in human movement, attention, meditation, and consciousness. She has received more than $7.2 million in research funding and has conducted research in child development, aging, rehabilitation, meditation, tai chi, balance, and attentional abilities. Woollacott has published over 200 scientific articles and authored or co-edited eight books, including the widely used textbook Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice. She is Research Director of the International Association of Near-Death Studies and President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences. Her book Infinite Awareness explores the relationship between neuroscience, consciousness, and spiritual experiences, reflecting her work at the intersection of scientific research and questions about the nature of the mind. --- Interview Links: — Dr. Woollacott's website: marjoriewoollacott.com — Dr. Woollacott's books: https://marjoriewoollacott.com/books/ — Dr. Woollacott's events: https://marjoriewoollacott.com/events/

Can't lift heavy loads but still want the benefits of heavy lifting? Blood flow restriction (BFR) training—using cuffs to partially restrict venous blood flow so you can get heavy‑lifting‑like gains with much lighter loads—could be just what you need, says this week's guest, veteran strength coach Ashley Selman, CSCS. In this episode, we dig into what BFR training is, how it's done in real‑world workouts, who it's for, and why it can be a powerful option for midlife athletes who can't tolerate traditional heavy lifting but still want to build and maintain muscle, strength, bone health, and even VO₂ max.Ashley Selman, MA, CSCS, is a veteran strength coach with 30+ years' experience working with elite athletes, collegiate programs at Stanford and the University of Oregon, and clients at every level. She was named one of the Top 100 Trainers in the U.S. by Men's Journal and founded Evolution Trainers in Mountain View, California, voted the number one health club in Silicon Valley. After a difficult hip replacement and early menopause at 43 left her losing muscle despite “doing everything right,” discovering blood flow restriction (BFR) training allowed her to rapidly regain strength she hadn't felt in over 15 years, which inspired her to create Seli Strength, a virtual BFR program now serving hundreds of midlife women. She recently developed "Coaching Blood Flow Restriction Training: The Future of Fitness" with the American Council on Exercise (ACE), for fitness professionals who want to bring BFR training to their clients.

Oregon’s wildfire season has been severe, resulting in smoky air in communities all over the state. Central Oregon now ranks among the worst air quality in the nation, with wildfire smoke significantly affecting the region. We’ll hear from Crook County Public Health Director Katie Plumb about how people can help keep themselves safe from the smoke.  

Languages have evolved over time, but it is rare when one is just created. Nearly 140 years ago, a Polish linguist did just that. Esperanto was made with the intent to be a universal second language for international communication. It is difficult to measure just how many people speak the language, but it does have speakers across the globe.   In the Pacific Northwest, speakers will gather next month for the 45th anniversary of the Northwest Regional Esperanto Conference in Seattle. We're joined by three members of the Esperanto Society of Portland: Izaak Zawyrucha-Moore, Alaine Warfield and Bruce Sherwood. They share why they've chosen to learn this language and what it has meant for them.

Oregon became the thirty-third state on February 14, 1859, but its history reaches far beyond statehood. Indigenous peoples had lived throughout the region long before Europeans arrived, with communities and traditions tied to the coast, forests, mountains, and rivers. One of the earliest documented European explorations of what is now Oregon came in 1543, when Bartolomé Ferrelo continued north along the Pacific Coast on an expedition begun by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo. Over the centuries that followed, Spain, Britain, and the United States all claimed interests in the Pacific Northwest. The United States and Great Britain agreed to jointly occupy the Oregon Country in 1818, and the Oregon Treaty of 1846 established the boundary between American and British territory. Oregon Territory was organized in 1848, followed by statehood eleven years later. With forests that seem to go on forever, a rugged coastline, isolated lakes, old hotels, and communities with stories passed down for generations, Oregon has produced some wonderfully strange folklore. There are mysterious creatures, sea serpents, ghosts, and at least one monster who apparently decided that simply being a monster wasn't interesting enough. He needed a name...

Oregon came dangerously close to outlawing hunting, fishing, trapping, rodeo, and livestock operations statewide. Initiative Petition 28 failed to gather enough signatures — but the fact it got as far as it did exposed how far left the state's political class has drifted from the rural communities that built it.Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazen is done playing defense. She's proposing a constitutional amendment to permanently enshrine the right to hunt, fish, trap, and raise livestock in Oregon law. Governor Tina Kotek's response? "Political theater" — no acknowledgment of the near-miss that made the fight necessary in the first place.Sean also covers Daimler/Freightliner moving its truck plant out of Portland, Seattle's LGBTQ funding debate, and why Amazon's Jumpstart payroll tax is quietly making the city uncompetitive for the businesses it needs most.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories the mainstream press buries.#NFRP #Oregon #TinaKotekGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Portland's relationship with the Trailblazers has hit a breaking point. New owner Tom Dundon asked the city for nearly $600 million to renovate Moda Center and got a cold shoulder from a city council that would rather fund protest causes than keep an NBA franchise. Sean breaks down why this isn't just a sports story — it's the clearest preview yet of Portland's terminal business climate.Mayor Keith Wilson and the Portland City Council face an August 12 vote on the arena lease, but the real issue is structural. Oregon's highest-in-nation tax burden, a decade of riots, open-air drug markets, and a reflexively anti-business culture have already driven companies out by the hundreds. When an NBA team can't get a serious infrastructure conversation, you know the city has lost the plot entirely.Sean puts the odds at 75-25 that the Blazers land in Austin — a city that actually wants them. The franchise that gave Portland Bill Walton and Clyde Drexler deserves a home that can compete for talent and investment. Portland chose the ideology; now it may lose the last major pro sports team to prove what that choice costs.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the national stories that actually matter.#NFRP #Portland #KeithWilsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Daimler — maker of the Freightliner truck — is pulling its manufacturing plant out of Portland, Oregon and relocating to North and South Carolina, taking 375 union jobs with it. It's the kind of headline that barely registers surprise anymore: another major employer quietly exits a city that keeps making itself uncompetitive.Portland Mayor Keith Wilson now presides over a business climate that is steadily hollowing out the city's industrial base. High taxes, an openly hostile regulatory posture, and years of political instability have produced an exodus that no amount of press releases can paper over. Daimler isn't alone — the Carolinas didn't recruit these jobs because they're better at manufacturing. They won them because Oregon kept losing them.For the 375 workers at that plant, this isn't an abstraction. These are skilled manufacturing jobs — the kind that anchor families, neighborhoods, and local economies. When a Freightliner plant closes, the ripple hits suppliers, small businesses, and the tax base that funds the schools. Portland's governing class will move on to the next agenda item. The workers won't.Actions have consequences.

CW: This episode is about a domestic violence situation that includes discussion of multiple instances of physical and emotional abuse. Some of this discussion is graphic.Our thoughts are with Heidi, her family, and the Rodrigues children as well as anybody who has suffered intimate partner violence or child abuse under fundamentalism.Please do not mistake the tone of this video for us minimizing that in any way. What Timothy admitted to is a serious crime against his wife.In today's episode, we discuss the confession Tim Rodrigues made in a Facebook post, in which he admitted to violently abusing his wife, , Heidi, accused his father, David, of child abuse during his upbringing, and asked for forgiveness as he seeks to regain the trust of his wife and his family.This post received attention from friends and family members, most notably Heidi's family members who were understandably very angry at him for his abuse of their loved one, for his violation of her privacy in posting details publicly, and for his perceived motivations in publishing his confession, which they saw as highly manipulative.Following this public fallout, Jill Rodrigues announced her departure from social media.Sadie is a Certified Domestic Violence advocate in the State of Oregon.

I am so excited to be here with you today. I always am. I literally love doing this with you guys. and I more than that, I love doing this with our consulting team. And I have very, very special women on as our consultant guest today. I have Miss Pam with us today, and you guys have actually not heard from her yet, even though she's been here with us behind the scenes for a little while.   Getting these podcasts like scheduled and in the system and all of those pieces takes a little bit of time sometimes. And Pam is a prized, prized possession in our consulting department. And I am so excited for you guys to meet her. If you work with her already, you are very excited to hear her on the podcast today. I know there's a few of you who are avid listeners who work directly one-on-one with Pam. so I'm excited for you guys to hear from her today.   Pam, I've got you here. We've got the listeners and I'm just so excited to be here with you this morning. You did some prep. I appreciate that. I love the questions and making sure we're ready to go. you prep way more than I do and I value that and you push me to do the same thing. So Pam, thank you for being here. How are you today?   Pamela (01:12) Hi, Tiff. I am doing fantastic. I'm super excited to be here.   Tiffanie (01:17) Good. And you're here in Phoenix as well. We always say we are just so hot and I think we had some rain the other night and I thought by by rain I mean I got some light sprinkles in the backyard and I thought, gosh, this might cool us down and I mean it did, but it was still like a hundred and five at eight PM last night. So how is it you're like forty five minutes ish from me, how is it on your side of Phoenix?   Pamela (01:45) Yeah, we did not get much rain like you. We got like the little pitter patter, but it no, it hasn't rained. I think the storms just go around us. I don't know what's going   Tiffanie (01:55) I think so.   Pamela (01:56) on, but it just makes it humid, so we know what the   Tiffanie (01:59) Yeah.   Pamela (01:59) east coast feels like when there's a little bit of rainstorm coming, but yeah, nothing nothing like the east coast, the humidity, but we do get a little bit.   Tiffanie (02:10) I agree. I always when I travel and and I tell people where I'm from and Pam, I'm sure you have and will continue to experience this as well. When I say I'm from Arizona, everybody goes, my gosh, how do you do that summer? And I always say, Listen, there's a season for everything and everyone, and I don't have to shovel snow, and I love that. And I would take this hundred and twenty degree summer for two months over shoveling snow any day of the week. And Pam, you've done both.   Pamela (02:40) I I have originally I'm from California, so when I moved to Utah to go to college, yes, I experienced shoveling snow and then I raised my kids there. And to be really honest, that's the reason why I moved to Arizona. I couldn't   Tiffanie (02:53) Yeah.   Pamela (02:54) get out of my driveway a couple of times and I'm like, nope, not doing this.   Tiffanie (02:58) No, thank you.   Pamela (02:59) So yes, I agree. I would take the two months of the heat and jump in the pool.   Tiffanie (03:04) Yes, my fiance says the same thing. He had he says that there were multiple times he lived up in Lake Zend, Oregon area. He said there were so many times that he had to shovel out and shovel back in in the same day and he was done and moved to Arizona. So we like to say we don't have a lot of natural disasters or issues here. We just have the heat during the summer. So here we are. I   Pamela (03:26) That's right. Yeah.   Tiffanie (03:27) love it. Well, speaking of seasonalities, I think   Something that's really fun about dentistry is that there's seasonalities in that as well. Everything runs on a cycle, and we like to talk about those cycles within our consulting and Dental A Team runs off of a few different cycles ourselves. And one of those systems, systematic cycles, I shall say, is scheduling and walking into the fall slash winter. The fall slash winter in dentistry is like a mixed bag. I feel like a few years ago.   Everybody was, you know, prepping for September is what we like to call it. And then prepping for October to December to be chaotic and crazy. And then I I really saw a shift within that after COVID. I think the COVID shutdowns were about six months from September, October. And so it shifted and changed quite a bit within that. But we do still see that scheduling really needs to be a high priority in this time period.   And I truly believe with everything I have, whatever we can prep and plan for and take the guesswork out, kind of control what we can and let the rest happen around us and then you know, control what we can within that is the best avenue to take. So making sure that we're looking ahead at things and really taking in those killer systems that can really depict how your fall and winter are gonna go are are gonna be massive. So I wanted to take the listeners here, Pam through a couple of systems and   And again, this is kind of that seasonality. So we chunk it down and we we see every month or every quarter kind of seeing what does that focus need to be within Dental A Team. This is something that we believe is a heavy focus at this time period in this season. So with that, Pam, I really want you to chat through with me Dental A Team systems for sure, but Pam, you've been a consultant and you've been in dentistry for a while, and you've got tips and tricks and tools.   that you brought to our company as well as to the clients that you've served over the years. So I want to pick your brain and speak to obviously Dental A Team systems, but really pick your brain and and kind of see what are some things that you've done in practice, what are things that you're doing with your practices as you're consulting them to prep and plan for this. And one of those spaces and something that's been coming up with a lot of my clients is that recare and reactivation. I know in dentistry and you probably remember this, Pam, I remember this from   years and years and years ago, everything was about new patients. And it was like, how many new patients can we get? How can we get them? Spend on marketing, get the new patients, get the new patients. And there wasn't a lot of focus, I don't think, on the other side of it. So keeping the new patients for sure was never a thought, right? It was just get more. And then the recare piece was kind of an afterthought. It was like, well if the schedule's falling apart and we don't have new patients, then we call on recare. And that mindset   really did a disservice because if we're not taking care of the people that are coming, like what are we really doing? And I think it gave a little bit of a foothold for things like DSOs to step in and really take over, but we're trying to shift that and practices are shifting that model. And hygienists especially are always really concerned now about what's happening with my patient I've already spent so much time with.   So when it comes to recare and reactivation, we'll focus recare first. Pam, what are some things that you hammer in with practices to make sure that that recare is happening, whether it's a new patient or a patient they've had for 15 years?   Pamela (07:05) Yeah, great question, Tiff. And I I do feel like I've seen that same shift as well.   Tiffanie (07:10) Yeah.   Pamela (07:11) So I I think that recare percentage is such a big deal because it does tell us are we bleeding out the back? Are we losing patients that were right in front of us and we could have scheduled them right then? That is the most effective and efficient way to do that. I I tell hygienists give the patient   A reason to return. Like notice an area that tells that says, hey, I'm well, I'm looking at this area. Your upper right is having a little inflammation and some, you know, I got just a little bleeding, not anything to worry about, but I'm gonna note that and write it down in your notes so they see you noting it, right? And   Tiffanie (07:56) Yeah.   Pamela (07:56) that you will come back to say to them, I'm I'm really excited to see you in six months. And when you come back, we're gonna check.   check on this and and just you do a great job with your home care. Just do a little extra on that upper right side and we'll see what you can do at home.   Tiffanie (08:15) I love that because you're really   focusing in on them being seen, you know, and the value of the cleaning. I think we oftentimes say, you know, let's get you scheduled for your next cleaning. And it's like, well, I schedule my next carpet cleaning when it's needed. And I know you're really heavy on the verbiage and the way that we speak about it as well. And and us as a company, we use things like you guys have heard of NDTR.   the handoff and the reason that the recare is in there is because we want to put the value on the appointment and not just that routine cleaning. So setting that up where it's like, hey, we saw this, we're gonna check on this when you're when you come back in and then you look at your dose and you do it really sets the value for the personalization, the relationship, and it changes the script on the value of the quote unquote cleaning. What is it I'm trying to remember as I'm speaking palm and I'm not it's not coming to me.   What is it that you there's something that you change and I can't remember what it is or you you coach practices through how to speak to scheduling that recare appointment and I can't I can't think of what it is. What is it?   Pamela (09:24) Yeah, yeah,   no, I know exactly what you're talking about. So I I teach teams to say something like, you know, we consider this a confirmed appointment as a courtesy. We will always send you text reminders by email, you know, let's make sure, let's go up front. You said you didn't get one last time, let's make sure we have the right phone number on on file and   If you happen to have a change in your schedule, please let us know 48 hours in advance. And that way we can get you back in. But I really want to check on that one area so that you go back to that reason to return as you're doing that handoff. But I like saying that it is, we already consider this confirmed.   As a courtesy, we are just going to send you those reminders. So it's an easy   Tiffanie (10:14) Yeah.   Pamela (10:15) way to kind of also inform and remind your patients about your cancellation, or we don't say cancellation, right? About your about your   Tiffanie (10:24) Yeah. Confirmation process. Yeah.   Pamela (10:27) exactly. Yeah.   Tiffanie (10:28) Yeah. Yeah. I love that. And what you did there too is they're scheduling in the back office then. So it sounds   Pamela (10:33) Yes.   Tiffanie (10:34) like you've got hygiene scheduling their next recare, which I think allows for that personalization again and that like importance that's being placed on it. Not to say that other appointments aren't important, but they're coming up quicker. And so when the when you're tied to the hygienist and that is the person you're coming to see, I mean, we've all experienced where   a patient, you know, gets switched to a different hygienist or the hygienist maybe moves out of state and they're no longer seeing that hygienist. They're like, wait, where's Joanna? Like I've been seeing Joanna forever and they're a patient of the practice, but they get attached. My fiance's very attached to Amy at his place. Like I've never even met her and I know I know about her because he's very attached to her. The kids are attached to her. And that places value on the appointment and makes it more difficult for us to cancel it.   Now recare is phenomenal, tracking that, making sure that there's like in the background, there's constantly recare efforts going on. So we're making phone calls, we're sending out the emails, coming up due, do now, past due reminders, all of those pieces are always happening. Pam, something that I struggle with. practices. If you're busy, what tends to happen is we're like, well, we can't if I can't fit   appointments in my hygiene schedule. So I'm not going to call on them because then I'm just disappointing patients. The likelihood of them answering is very slim. And so when you reduce your outgoing efforts, now you need the schedule full and you're just igniting those efforts. You're not going to see a result for probably 30 to 45 days realistically, because it takes like four to seven times your effort to get that return back in. So I beg of you   Please make sure no matter how busy your schedule is, you're always doing recare efforts to help you keep that schedule busy. Something that I love to do with my practices, Pam, I think we all do, is really, really, really capitalize on the patient base that they have, not just active patient base. But there's some some practices have been around. I've got one that's been around for like 30 years. It was his grandfather's, it was his dad's, now it's his.   And they've got like 19,000 patients in their database and like six thousand active patients for three doctors, right? So I'm like, you guys have thirteen thousand patients that haven't been touched. And I'm not saying everybody's got thirteen thousand, but everybody has inactive patients. Every month patients go inactive. That's your attrition rate. Every month patients are sliding out the back door, like Pam talked about, and we're focused on new patients. You got 24 new patients, but you lost five.   You only have nineteen patients added to your patient base. So those five patients, when are they being touched on? So that reactivation program or campaign, I really have them focus, Pam, on those patients who are not active in the practice and just getting touch points onto them like emails. You can do phone calls too, but really making sure we're hitting those people who have an established relationship, just maybe haven't come in, they forgot. What do you what do you do?   Pamela (13:43) Yeah, no, I I love that and I think that's really true. I think sometimes in dentistry we think we haven't seen them in 18 months, they've forgotten about us,   Tiffanie (13:52) Yeah.   Pamela (13:53) but I don't think so. I think that they still think, that's my dentist. And   Tiffanie (13:58) I agree.   Pamela (13:59) right when they even if it's been two years and they haven't been in, you know, people may not be as conscientious about coming every six months. That's okay, but we still want to reach out to them and whether that's by email, whether   It's you're making you know a big email campaign to reactivate those patients, or it's a texting program, right? That you have. I think you know, look for those patients that haven't had an exam and reach   Tiffanie (14:27) Mm.   Pamela (14:27) out for those patients just to get them back in. And like you said, it takes some time to do, but when they are prompted, I think, and they know that you care, they're more likely to just give you a call. And in this day and age, I've   believe a hundred percent what you said people are not picking up their phone right yeah so it's yeah I might pick it up either I don't pick it up either unless I recognize the number so   Tiffanie (14:47) Yeah. Yeah. I'm not. I no ain't nobody got time for that. No. Yes.   And I'm ready to talk to them. I still have to be ready to talk to them. I have to be in a space. I have to be in a mindset. I have to be ready to engage in whatever this conversation is that's about to come. So even if I recognize the number, I'm like, I don't really have the space for it right now. So I will call you back. And then six months goes by and I'm like, wow, I never did that.   Like I never I never finished that. So then two years goes by, right? I have a friend that was we were messaging on Instagram just last night about her wedding and our wedding coming up and all of these pieces. And she's like, I can't believe how big Brody is. And we realized my son is 18. We have not seen each other in person since he was a baby. She lives three hours from me. Like we put that together and I was like, gosh, but the reality is it didn't feel that long. It felt like   It was just the other day because we have this this social media connection, right? She's in front of me. And so it felt different. And so when we're in front of the people, even our email correspondences, things like that, if we're in front of them, that time passes differently. It doesn't feel as long into your point, Pam. With all of those correspondence continuing to go, you still feel like that's my dentist, right? That's my practice, like that's who I'm going to go to.   when I'm ready and how many patients have we answered the phone for and they're like, my gosh, I can't believe it's been two years since I've been there. I'm like, time really does fly. so the reactivation campaigns are huge. And to me, I think of those patients almost like new patients, right? Because they haven't been seen. And so they they need a full workup. They need all of the pieces. You didn't spend any money to get them.   And their appointments are easier because they already have a relationship with the practice. So it's way less work, time, and money to reactivate people than it is to continue to search for new patients. Let the new patients come in, let the new patient flow be there, and reactivate patients simultaneously.   Pamela (16:59) Yeah, a absolutely. And I I love your point that it's just it's should be part of our processes. It should be part   Tiffanie (17:05) Okay.   Pamela (17:06) of our systems. And you know, if we tend to let that go, we're letting a huge opportunity just pass us by. And just if we focus only on those eighteen months patients, you know, we're doing a huge disservice truly to our   Tiffanie (17:20) Absolutely.   Pamela (17:21) patients. And I I think it's really wise to keep that going. you know, whether that like   you like we said an email campaign or a texting campaign and just put it on a system so you know whatever that is tackle it by you know x amount of patients per day per week however you're gonna do it just systemize systematize it so that you are continuing to hit those patients reach out   Tiffanie (17:49) Yep, I   have a practice I talked to about this last week and she was like, Well, do we do this every month? And I'm like, actually, you're gonna do it twice a month. And you're gonna have one that's 18 to 24, and then you're gonna have one that's 24 plus, and they're gonna go twice a month because every day someone new falls into one of those categories. And so no matter what, you're hitting them multiple times in the foreseeable future, and eventually they're either gonna call back and say, Hey, we moved out of state.   Or they're gonna call back and say, Thank you so much for sending fifteen emails. You finally got my attention and I'm scheduling this appointment.   Pamela (18:23) Yeah, and and that's a really good point, Tiff. Like being conscientious and really aware of when you are deciding to delete a patient, right?   Tiffanie (18:36) Yeah.   Pamela (18:36) I think there needs to be some actual communication and that you've talked to that patient and they say, Yes, I have moved, and you don't know what happened. They could have said they were gonna move and they didn't, you know. So and then we just delete them out of our system, and I I don't think that's   right thing. I think we need to be really aware and have have a system built in. If you have talked to the patient and they told you that they have moved, then okay, I get that. But we don't just go deleting patients willy-nilly.   Tiffanie (19:10) I totally agree. I totally agree. And even I have doctors that are like, well, I just purchased this practice, right? So like I need new patients. And I'm like, my gosh, phenomenal. Everyone who's ever been in that practice is a new patient to you. You've already paid for them. So let's get as much as we can out of that before paying for more new patients.   Pamela (19:30) Absolutely. And I have several practices like that right now that have just purchased in the last two years. And I remind them of that constantly because they, you   Tiffanie (19:39) Yep.   Pamela (19:39) know, and and right we hear this all the time in dentistry. I need more new patients. I need you have a gold mine sitting there. And so   Tiffanie (19:48) Yeah.   Pamela (19:48) go go mining. Go get them. They're   Tiffanie (19:50) Yes.   Pamela (19:51) yours.   Tiffanie (19:52) Yes. I agree. I agree. And when they say the team says, I don't have time, great, let's strategize and let's find the time. And like you said, Pam, like so many things can be automated right now. And I think everyone prefers the automation at this point. It's not I think in twenty eighteen to like twenty twenty two we were really still fighting that automation piece. But now it's twenty twenty six at the time of recording this and we are we are ready for it. Just allow to use it. Yeah.   Pamela (20:19) I I agree a hundred percent. Like we can do more in the dental let's not stay back in those ages. Let's move forward to, you know, with   Tiffanie (20:27) Yes.   Pamela (20:28) the times. And I it just makes life easier anyway because people are oriented that way now. So   Tiffanie (20:31) Yeah. I agree.   Pamela (20:34) yeah, so I think great point. Love it.   Tiffanie (20:36) Always impressed me how dentistry can be so forward thinking and have so much tech in the back office, right? We've got C B C T scans that were never there when I was physically in office. We've got all these scanners, we we're making crowns in office, they're making dentures, they're painting dentures and doing this in office and blowing my mind. But we still have paper charts in some offices. Like I can't   I can't understand, my brain can't understand the difference, the stark difference in the back office versus front office, like forward thinking and and movement there, the advances.   Pamela (21:13) Yeah.   I I could not agree more and you know   Sometimes we have people that are just sort of stuck in doing that   Tiffanie (21:20) Okay.   Pamela (21:21) and that that's okay. But embrace it because I I'm gonna tell you it will make your job so much easier to embrace that   Tiffanie (21:28) I do.   Pamela (21:29) technology. And I think the front office is more difficult to move to that direction. You know, when I go in an office and I see them handing the patient a paper chart, I'm like, okay, well, and and that is applicable in a lot of areas. Okay, in some places, I get that, but   And you know, digital is the way of the future. We need to catch up. And once you make that switch, you will go, my gosh, this is amazing. It's so awesome.   Tiffanie (21:59) I agree.   I totally agree with you. Yeah, I love it. Well, I think those are two incredible systems that really truly help build a profitable schedule and help prep for if you're gonna have a September, have a September, but also it helps prep you for even the busy period. It just keeps it consistent. And when you can build that consistency into anything in life, it becomes less chaotic, especially when you can build the consistency back into your schedule, whether it's hygiene.   or doctor side, these patients have to come in somewhere and they will all be caught within a recare system andor a reactivation system. So Pam, this was incredible. I I knew it was going to be amazing. I knew it was going to be very easy.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Utah coach Kyle Whittingham's comments downplaying the significance of rivalry hate, arguing that emotion and hatred have historically decided big games like Ohio State-Michigan and that Whittingham's measured tone concerns them. The conversation shifts into a broader college football preview, with the two debating Ryan Day's hot-seat status entering the season given his 2-4 record against Michigan and Ohio State's brutal fall schedule against USC, Indiana, and Oregon. They also share old stories from their sports-media pasts, including run-ins with Charlie Weis and John Harbaugh, and close by hyping the September 12th Ohio State-Texas primetime showdown as a potential "Browns Bowl" distraction.

Steve and Aaron dig into Athlon's anonymous Big Ten assistant coach quotes on all 18 programs, from Illinois' recruiting discipline to Nebraska's quarterback "denial" to the loaded, everybody's-back rosters at Ohio State and Oregon. They also debate whether Matt Rhule's fortunate timing is masking real problems at Nebraska, break down Penn State's soft schedule versus its roster, and react to listener feedback on Curt Cignetti's quarterback whisperer reputation.

A frequent location of summer wildfires, eastern Washington State, is suffering one of the most destructive fires seasons in memory. Fires on the Confederate Tribes of Colville Reservation have prompted evacuations and destroyed more than 50 homes and other structures. They are among the some 700 buildings destroyed in the current fire season in the state. On Oregon's Warm Springs Reservation, fires started early and were fueled by persistent winds. In addition to coping with the fires, the community is now facing worries about having adequate clean drinking water. Fires in Washington and Oregon have charred more than three million acres so far. We'll talk with tribal officials working to save people, buildings, and land during an unusually destructive wildfire season.

The Salem City Council has voted unanimously to begin the process of adopting a data center moratorium. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has formed a task force to develop statewide regulations for these facilities, and she recently canceled the sale of a piece of state-owned land that the Verrus company was slated to purchase as part of the process of building a data center on the property.   Kotek released a statement about the cancellation. “This decision is about my responsibility to make sure state actions reflect Oregon’s values and serve the public interest,” she said. “I believe in growing Oregon’s economy and welcoming new investment, including in the technology sector. But growth has to make sense for the community, for our infrastructure, and for our natural resources.”   Verrus CEO Nelson Abramson argues his company's data centers are different than most — he makes the case that projects should benefit the community, support current infrastructure, and protect natural resources. He says the company’s facility would fulfill all those goals, unlike other similar facilities around the country. Abramson joins us to tell us more about the project.  

Outdoor camps across Oregon have been severely impacted by poor air quality from wildfire smoke. Camps are being forced to move indoors and cancel camps altogether, resulting in significant financial losses. We’ll hear from Mt. Hood Camp Kiwanis Director Dave McDonald and the camp manager at Central Oregon Community College, Sarah Wolcott, about how their camps are responding to the smoky air.

Guest Nick Parish is a writer, angler, and educator in Portland, Oregon. He's the editorial voice behind Current Flow State, a publication and member community aimed at helping people make fly fishing a bigger part of their life. Summary Fly fishing instructor, writer, and educator Nick Parrish joins me for a conversation that quickly moves beyond techniques and equipment into the philosophy of fly fishing and what it can teach about living well. Drawing inspiration from the writings of John Gierach, Nick argues that fly fishing is less about catching fish than cultivating attentiveness, curiosity, creativity, and meaningful relationships—with rivers, wildlife, fellow anglers, and oneself. Nick explains how his own teaching emphasizes observation before action, encouraging students to slow down, study the water, and immerse themselves in the environment rather than rushing to make the first cast. He advocates a minimalist approach to gear, believing that skill, versatility, and creative problem-solving matter far more than accumulating expensive equipment. Throughout the conversation, Nick and I reflect on several memorable John Gierach quotations, using them as springboards to discuss mindfulness, companionship, conservation, and the restorative power of time spent outdoors. The discussion also explores the ethical tension inherent in catch-and-release fishing. Nick acknowledges the paradox of loving fish while pursuing them, arguing that responsible anglers must balance that tension through conservation, habitat restoration, and sound fisheries management. He describes experiments such as fishing without hooks and emphasizes that the future of fly fishing depends on protecting the ecosystems that sustain it. Ultimately, Nick and I conclude that fly fishing is best understood as a creative, deeply attentive way of engaging with the natural world—one in which the journey, the place, and the experience matter far more than the number of fish caught. A key takeaway Fly fishing is a practice of attention. When we slow down, observe deeply, and engage creatively with the natural world, the fish become only one part of a much richer experience of connection, learning, and stewardship.

Think your firm is not using AI yet? Take a closer look at your cite-checking tool, your transcription app, and your review platform. AI is already in there. In this episode of Paralegal Real Talk, guest host Linda Odermott sits down with Kelley Chaney, RP, CEDS, a senior e-discovery paralegal at Ballard Spahr LLP. Kelley walks through the tools she uses on real matters, the two concerns clients keep raising, and the discovery obligation almost nobody is tracking yet. About the Guest(s):   Kelly Chaney is a senior e-discovery paralegal at Ballard Spahr in Portland, Oregon, with over 30 years of experience in the legal field. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Administration of Justice and a CEDS e-discovery certification, specializing in complex litigation management. Since 2007, Kelly has been an active member and leader within the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) and the Oregon Paralegal Association (OPA), serving in numerous leadership roles. She is a nationwide CLE presenter on e-discovery, artificial intelligence, and legal tech. Kelly is dedicated to equipping paralegals with practical roadmaps to effectively guide litigation and technology strategies alongside their legal teams.     Takeaways:  AI Competence is Required: Under current ABA guidance, legal professionals are expected to maintain technological competence and understand the AI tools and processes used in their practice.  Practical Legal Workflows: Specialized legal AI tools (such as Harvey, ClearBrief, Kira, and Westlaw QuickCheck) can dramatically streamline complex document matching, discovery requests, and contract reviews when driven by effective prompt engineering and human oversight. Privilege and Security Risks: Using unapproved third-party AI platforms can destroy attorney-client privilege or breach client confidentiality protocols, making firm AI policies and client-by-client consent essential.  Verification Over Reliance: While modern tools feature built-in hallucination detectors, human verification remains critical—attorneys face real court sanctions, lost cases, and public embarrassment for submitting unverified, AI-generated citations. Preservation Duties Include AI Data: Preservation obligations extend to AI-driven data systems (such as automated fleet metrics or smart diagnostics); failing to preserve a client's AI data can lead to severe spoliation sanctions, including struck pleadings.   Get more free paralegal resources: https://paralegal-bootcamp.com/paralegal-resources  For all of our paralegal podcast episodes: https://paralegal-bootcamp.com/paralegals-on-fire-podcast   

Apparently, Laura hasn't learned enough life lessons yet…because she found herself in ANOTHER sticky, fight-or-flight situation—this time in Oregon. How does this keep happening to her?! Then comes the heartbreak.

One summer evening in 1977, three teenagers walked toward the edge of Florida's Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge and came face-to-face with an eight-foot-tall Skunk Ape. Standing motionless just yards away, the creature's glowing red eyes, powerful build, and unmistakable odor created a moment none of them would ever forget.Carol Stanhope joins Bigfoot Society to share her unforgettable encounter, along with the remarkable history of Skunk Ape reports throughout Palm Beach County during the 1970s—including accounts involving sheriff's deputies, farmers, and security guards.Later in the episode, the conversation expands across North America with firsthand experiences from Ontario, Northern Quebec, Oklahoma, Virginia, Iowa, and Oregon. You'll hear reports of tree knocks, mysterious rock throwing, tracks deep in remote forests, powwow encounters, possible gifting behavior, and a child's startling visual sighting during a family prayer.Every story comes directly from the people who experienced it. Listen all the way through and decide for yourself what may be living just beyond the tree line.Resources: https://fdc.com/blog/florida-skunk-ape-cryptids/https://www.westpalmbeach.com/the-skunk-ape/https://www.facebook.com/carol.stanhope.52/https://nonstatetorture.org

In this podcast episode, Trent and Matt interview Cody Rich, founder of Bridger Watch, about why he built a hunting-focused smartwatch and how it evolved from wanting usable offline maps and hunting features on a watch. Rich shares his background from Perrydale, Oregon, moving to Montana, early work in Marine Corps training using Hollywood-style special effects, then entrepreneurship through Powder River Cartridge and learning marketing/SEO before starting The Rich Outdoors podcast and building Backcountry Fuel Box. Seeking a larger legacy business, he pursued a Garmin-adjacent niche, raised money, and assembled teams including former Fossil talent and connections to Google leadership and a CTO with Garmin dog-collar experience, ultimately building custom hardware and a new operating system. He describes key features: offline topo maps with panning/zooming, onX waypoint/track/markup syncing, integrated ballistics via Sierra True Data, redshift mode, frequent over-the-air updates, and ongoing battery-life improvements, with purchasing available at bridgerwatch.com, GuideFitter, GovX, and via HSA through TrueMed.

A large botulism outbreak in Klamath Basin wetlands could kill more than 100,000 waterbirds if more water is not sent to the wetlands.

We Believe: Membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: A Christian Conversation by Phillip M Graehl Phillipmgraehlbooks.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPGL17P3 If Jesus Christ is to all people our Good Shepherd and his gospel is the good news, why is there so much contentious debate in the world over all this goodness? Why is there such derision cast between religious bodies and their adherents toward others of differing beliefs? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its members have been persecuted since the founding of the Church, and its members often called non-Christian. Is this really true? There are many truths about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that invite discussion. There are also many fallacies and misunderstandings regarding the Church that deserve exposure and explanation. Herein is described to the traditional Christian world and all others who will inquire some history as well as doctrines and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, given in an attempt to help bridge a divide that need not exist between disciples of Jesus Christ. “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” About the author I am a “mid-boomer” having been born in 1955, in Provo, Utah. The first few years of my life were spent in Fort Collins, Colorado where my father attended veterinary school, alternating with summers in Provo which was my father's home town. Over a two year period I lived in Bend, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; and then Glendale, California. Grades K – 3 were in Glendale, and then we moved to Huntington Beach, California. While in Huntington Beach I enjoyed bodysurfing and surfing as well as outdoor sports in general including backpacking and skiing. I also played high school football, basketball, and baseball. I attended college at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and graduated with a bachelor's of science degree in Geology. One summer in college I worked on the North Slope of Alaska for a geophysical company. The summer after college graduation I worked in Uranium exploration in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington. I attended medical school for two years at the University of Utah and completed medical school at the University of California, Irvine. My post graduate training was in orthopedic surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Prior to completing my training in San Antonio I met and married my wife of the last forty years. My wife is also a physician. Fellowship training in lower extremity total joint replacement and sports medicine occurred in San Antonio, Texas and then Sydney, Australia. My first orthopedic practice was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Then after two years I immigrated to Texas where I practiced for another thirty years in the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. I continue to enjoy outdoor sports, fishing, and I am an admirer of Western art of the United States. After two total hip replacements I have abandoned skiing, but I continue to enjoy hiking in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. I have also found that I enjoy writing. Following my retirement I enrolled at the University of Texas at Dallas and began with a creative writing class. Thereafter, the Covid pandemic caused an acute cessation of my post-post-graduate education.
