https://teachhoops.com/ If you look at the landscape of modern coaching development, you will see a massive sea of isolation. Head coaches spend late nights sitting in empty gym offices, staring at raw tape, trying to solve complex spatial spacing leaks, assistant staff alignment issues, and parent boundary friction entirely on their own. They download random drills off social media, try to force-feed them into a 120-minute practice script on Tuesday afternoon, and then wonder why their team's execution feels clunky, robotic, and disconnected when Friday night arrives. In a level 4 transformational program, you do not coach in a vacuum. True program builders don't rely on guesswork—they rely on a structured laboratory, direct mentorship, and a collaborative ecosystem designed to audit every square inch of their operational blueprint. In this episode of Coach Unplugged, recorded live at 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, Coach Collins pulls back the curtain on two of the highest-leverage assets available inside TeachHoops.com: our weekly live Office Hours and the interactive TeachHoops Discussion Forums. Discover how jumping into a direct socratic round-table with masterclass coaches will help you clean up your practice Activity Density, optimize your team's game-night Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$), and transition your culture out of coach-fed compliance and into an unshakeable, player-led powerhouse. When you plug your program into a live collaborative network, you replace trial-and-error with high-signal, diagnostic clarity: The Blueprint: Office Hours isn't a passive webinar where you sit back and listen to a two-hour lecture. It is a live, high-signal consulting session. You bring your actual tape, your specific practice scripts, and your exact roster bottlenecks directly to the table. The Diagnostic: Whether you are wrestling with how to corrupt a static shooting drill into a live closeout reader, or trying to deploy your staff lenses—balancing The Organizer, The Yoda, and The Antagonist—we break down the problem on the spot. We deliver rapid, 60-second "drive-by" solutions that you can implement in your gym tomorrow afternoon. The Blueprint: The TeachHoops community forum serves as your program's 24/7 research and development wing. When you encounter a toxic parent boundary breach, a shifting upperclassman who has lost their Next Play Speed, or a complex defensive trapping shell like a 1-3-1 or Match-Up Zone that isn't rotating cleanly, you post the scenario. The Return: Within hours, veteran program builders step up to share tested frameworks, socratic constraint layouts, and exact communication scripts. You leave with an immediate blueprint designed to protect your program's Standard of Tolerance. We don't audit practice scripts during Office Hours just to make your dry-erase board look pretty. We put every single offensive entry, small-sided game ($SSG$), and spatial spacing track through a strict mathematical filter to maximize your team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): When you bring your game data into the TeachHoops discussion, we analyze your shot selection geometry, identify high-volume Multi-Ball rep density fixes, and ensure your daily practice architecture is directly driving high-efficiency scoring through the exhaust. Coach's Note: "The loneliest place in sports is trying to figure out every single piece of the coaching puzzle by yourself. If you are serious about winning more, stressing less, and building a program you are genuinely proud of, you need to get out of your own head and step into the room with coaches who have walked the path. Join us for Office Hours, jump into the TeachHoops discussions, bring your actual problems, and let's build a masterclass standard together. Stop guessing—start building."

A 7-11 on Liberty Heights Avenue in Northwest Baltimore, Maryland, has become a flashpoint of community rage and resistance after Ade Oba Tokunbo (Stephen King), a 74-year-old resident, was attacked and brutally beaten there by six teenagers on July 7, 2026. The same location is also the site of multiple robberies and the murder of Victorious Swift in March of 2017. In response, “A Clarion Call,” a new coalition of local community organizations and residents, organized a rally at the 7-11 on Sunday, July 26, and led a community march into the store to demand the company implement policies that will keep customers safe and aid in the apprehension of the youth responsible for the July 7 attack. In this on-the-ground report, TRNN takes you inside the community rally held at the 7-11, near Mondawmin Mall, on July 26. Watch the video version of this report here. Additional links/info:Organizers of A Clarion Call have set up a GoFundMe for Ade Oba Tokunbo and are asking community members to contact ClarionCallBaltimore[at]gmail[dot]com if they have any information about the perpetrators of the July 7.Renee Anderson, Mike Hellgren, CBS Baltimore, “New video shows 74-year-old attacked outside Baltimore 7-Eleven by group wielding sword, assault rifle”Credits:Production: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Cameron Granadino, David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Organizers are keeping up the fight against a proposed coal export terminal in West Oakland, where residents already face a high burden from environmental pollutants. Photo of Port of Oakland by Ronan Furuta. More than a decade ago, residents of Oakland, California, first got wind of a plan to export coal from their city through a proposed bulk commodity export terminal. Initially, developers reassured residents that the facility wouldn't export coal. But it soon became clear that wasn't the case. Community members and environmental groups have been organizing against the plan ever since. Then, in June, the project got a major boost: President Trump announced that he would provide $75 million to support its construction, part of a larger influx of cash for the United States' dying coal industry. The announcement injected new life into the terminal, and also into the opposition. Margaret Rossoff, coordinating committee member of No Coal in Oakland, and Veronica Eady, executive director of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, talk with Terra Verde Co-host and Earth Island Journal Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren about where things stand. The post Keeping Coal Out of Oakland appeared first on KPFA.

https://teachhoops.com/ You can devour every single podcast episode on this channel, fill up a dozen legal pads with advanced multi-ball drills, and spend hours analyzing spatial cutting geometry. But at the end of the day, passive consumption will only get your program so far. Every single gym ecosystem faces its own highly specific, highly isolated operational leaks. Maybe you are staring at a roster trapped in a robotic rut of coach-fed compliance and you can't figure out the exact socratic constraints needed to jumpstart their Decision IQ. Maybe your assistant coaches have grown passive, and you need an exact blueprint to realign their organizational lenses. Or maybe you are heading into an intense winter stretch and you are wrestling with how to protect your team's Next Play Speed under heavy community pressure. In this episode, we step directly into the "Truth Room" to talk about the power of direct, personalized mentorship. We break down why the absolute best program builders never coach in a vacuum. Discover what happens when you stop guessing through the off-season and instead lock in a private, 1-on-1 Coaching Call with Coach Collins to audit your practice scripts, maximize your gym's Activity Density, and map out a definitive, level 4 championship workflow. When you jump on a private consulting call, we bypass empty generalities and immediately put your entire program through a sharp, analytical filter: The Filter: We pull apart your current 120-minute practice timeline down to the exact second. We find the hidden time leaks where players are standing in lines or listening to long lectures, and we inject high-transfer Multi-Ball architectures and Small-Sided Games ($SSGs$) that force players to read defensive hips through the exhaust. The Filter: We map out your staff's unique DNA. I will show you exactly how to weaponize your assistant coaches by deploying them through distinct lenses—empowering your Organizer to command the transitions and utilizing your Antagonist to fiercely police your closeouts and vocal habits. The Filter: We evaluate your offensive entries and defensive coverages to ensure they are engineered to maximize your Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): Coach's Note: "The loneliest place in sports is sitting in an empty gym office late at night trying to solve all your program's cultural and tactical puzzles by yourself. The best coaches I've ever been around aren't lone wolves—they seek out direct, high-signal mentorship to sharpen their edge. Don't waste another season running into the exact same operational bottlenecks. Let's get on a call, unpack your tape, audit your standard of tolerance, and build an unshakeable blueprint to take your program to the next level."

https://teachhoops.com/ If you audit a standard, average basketball practice, you will witness a massive amount of invisible time leaking out of the gym. You will see a coach blow the whistle, call the players over, and lean against a wall for seven minutes lecturing about a new entry action while twelve athletes stand completely still, watching their physical core temperatures drop. Then, they split into a single-file line where one player executes a repetition while eleven others watch passively from the sideline. Time is the ultimate currency for a program builder. If your practice design is slow, loose, and lecture-heavy, you aren't just wasting gym time—you are actively coding sluggish habits, mental passivity, and zero-signal noise into your roster. In this episode, we step directly into the "Truth Room" to break down how to use your practice time with absolute precision. We move past basic time-blocking and dive into the analytics of Activity Density and structural design. Discover how to leverage your staff lenses to eliminate dead time, maximize repetitions, and build a high-transfer learning environment that slides your team out of coach-fed compliance and into a player-led championship standard. To squeeze every ounce of development out of your clock, your script must be treated as a rigid, chronological engine. The Organizer on your staff polices the clock down to the exact second, completely eliminating long huddle transitions or slow water breaks. The Setup: Banish quiet stretching lines from your vocabulary. Players immediately execute high-tempo dynamic activation sequences across the full layout of the hardwood. The Velocity: This block is used to set the environmental tone. Players must continuously shout out defensive alerts through their physical movements, forcing high vocal energy into the rafters before a basketball even bounces. The Setup: High-speed handling, spatial passing, and finishing tracks. The Constraint: Traditional lines are an operational failure. Every drill track must feature a Multi-Ball design. If you have twelve players on the floor, at least 70% of them must be moving, catching, or passing concurrently across multiple baskets. The Return: High rep density completely eliminates boredom leaks and forces your players to communicate through the exhaust to keep the gears turning. The Setup: Instead of running 5-on-0 scripted walkthroughs where players act like robotic pieces on a chessboard, you break the floor into contextual 2-on-2, 3-on-3, or 4-on-4 structural shells. The Constraint: Put tight, socratic constraints on the game play (e.g., maximum 2 dribbles per touch, or the ball must touch the high-low paint seam within 4 seconds). The Goal: This forces your players to read the defender's hips independently. It spikes their independent Decision IQ and Next Play Speed under pressure without a coach using a joystick from the baseline. The Setup: 5-on-5 half-court and full-court system alignment. This is where you implement your primary cutting geometry or your defensive coverages (such as an aggressive match-up zone or a trapping shell). The Rule: You must hold an unyielding Standard of Tolerance. If a defender fails to close out with High Hands or a player displays bad body language after an error, The Antagonist on your staff stops the clock instantly. You address it in the "Truth Room," execute a quick "drive-by" technical correction on the move, and demand an immediate reset. The Setup: Full-court situational scrimmage puzzles (e.g., down 4 with 45 seconds remaining and zero timeouts). The Filter: Never run your critical shooting blocks or execution scripts at the beginning of practice when everyone is perfectly fresh. We intentionally place them at the absolute end when legs are heavy and lungs are burning. This builds authentic Resilience Equity, forcing players to lock into their mechanics and maximize their Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) under extreme fatigue: Coach's Note: "You don't build an elite basketball program by the length of time you spend in the gym; you build it by the focus and intensity you jam into the minutes you have. If your practice script allows for conversational laziness, silent shells, or long blocks of standing around, you are actively training your kids to fade under pressure on Friday night. Clean up your clock management, unleash your staff lenses, maximize your rep density, and demand that your players own the room."

https://teachhoops.com/ If you walk into a basketball facility in the dead of winter on a freezing Tuesday afternoon in January, you can instantly feel the energy deficit. Lungs are heavy, legs are burning from a multi-game weekend stretch, and the gym is completely quiet. In a typical basketball program, the head coach reacts to this quiet atmosphere by pacing the baseline and screaming at the top of their lungs, desperately trying to inject excitement into a flat group of athletes. But if you are a masterclass program builder, you know that trying to force empty excitement from the sideline is a losing battle. Fake enthusiasm introduces an operational leak into your culture. It keeps your roster trapped in a model of robotic, coach-fed compliance. In this episode, we step directly into the "Truth Room" to flip this dynamic entirely on its head by analyzing a critical diagnostic question. We break down how to transition from an exhausting model where you are the sole source of motivation into an elite, high-transfer ecosystem where Activity Density, structural constraints, and player-led accountability naturally generate a high-velocity workspace every single afternoon. To accurately audit whether your practice energy is sustainable or merely a superficial, coach-driven illusion, you must evaluate your environment through this specific lens: "If you completely locked your vocal cords, put your whistle in your pocket, and stood silently on the baseline for an entire two-hour practice, what level of intensity, vocal communication, and competitive friction would your players actively sustain on their own?" If the energy in your gym immediately drops to zero the moment you close your mouth, your program is stuck in Level 2 compliance. Your players are Coach-Fed actors waiting for a joystick instruction. If the gym stays at a roaring, high-hands championship standard, you have successfully built a Level 4 player-led powerhouse that brings its own "gym juice" to the hardwood. You cannot simply demand energy; you must build a high-transfer practice environment that naturally extracts it through the following structural pillars: When players stand in a single-file line of eight people waiting to take a casual finishing shot, their core temperature drops, their focus drifts, and their energy plummets. The Blueprint: Your practice script must feature a mandatory Multi-Ball architecture. Ensure that at least 70% of your roster is actively catching, moving, or passing concurrently across all available baskets. High rep density leaves zero room for conversational laziness. You should never carry the burden of being the only high-energy signal in the gym. Allocate specific structural roles to your assistant coaches based on their unique DNA to keep the floor moving at a rapid clip. The Blueprint: Empower The Organizer to completely command the practice clock, managing sprinted drill transitions to eliminate dead time. Unleash The Antagonist to act as your bad-cop culture enforcer—the voice that stops the clock instantly the second a player soft-recovers on a closeout or drops their hands through fatigue. When your players face extreme physical exhaust or a tough, high-friction scrimmage deficit, they will naturally want to retreat into quiet isolation. The Blueprint: Mandate a streamlined, high-signal language. Replace passive, empty apologies ("My fault, coach") with an immediate physical reset command: "Next Play Speed." When the focus starts to fracture, banish sideline coaching lectures and demand that your athletes step up to "Own The Room." This simple linguistic boundary forces your players to become the ultimate enforcers of the energy standard. Coach's Note: "Stop trying to be a cheerleader for your basketball team. If you have to bring all the juice to the gym every single afternoon, you are going to be completely burnt out by February, and your players will crumble the second they play a tough road game in a hostile environment. Stop over-coaching effort. Clean up your practice clock, maximize your rep density, implement small-sided socratic constraints, and force your players to own the room. Build a self-policing powerhouse." Title Ideas: Does Your Basketball Team Pass This Critical Energy Test? Stop Screaming at Your Players!

https://teachhoops.com/ If you build a coaching staff based entirely on comfort, friendship, or a collection of yes-men who look at the floor the exact same way you do, you are introducing a massive structural leak into your organization. Most head coaches hire assistants to act as glorified drill-monitors—quiet observers who stand along the sideline, wave a hand during transition breaks, and hold a clipboard while the head coach exhausts their vocal cords micro-managing fifty different details. In a level 4 championship program, your staff is an integrated, high-signal engine. You do not need assistant coaches who mimic your personality; you need a diverse group of distinct alchemical lenses designed to divide and conquer every square inch of the gym ecosystem. This episode steps directly into the "Truth Room" to pull back the curtain on staff architecture. We break down the three non-negotiable coaching archetypes—The Organizer, The Yoda, and The Antagonist—and detail exactly how to delegate absolute autonomy to your staff so your program transitions from a coach-fed dictatorship into a self-policing powerhouse. An elite coaching staff must operate like a singular, high-functioning Voltron. Instead of every coach watching the ball, each assistant is assigned a specific, uncompromised structural lens to police the gym's Activity Density and cultural standard. The DNA: Methodical, unyielding, hyper-disciplined, and hyper-organized. The Practice Lens: This coach is the absolute master of the practice clock. They do not watch the mechanics of a drill; they watch the timeline. They enforce sprinted water breaks, police smooth drill transitions, and ensure that your 120-minute practice script never stalls out for a long coaching lecture. They are the engine behind your high Rep Density and Activity Density. The DNA: Stoic, observant, deeply tactical, and data-driven. The Practice Lens: While the rest of the gym is moving at a hundred miles an hour, The Yoda sits quietly in the macro-view. They are tracking spatial cutting geometry, screening angles, and entry schemas. The Analytical Return: During a game or scrimmage, they aren't riding the emotional wave of a tough whistle. They are tracking the math behind your Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$), spotting structural gaps in the opponent's defensive shell, and formulating the zero-second counter to tip the tactical scale. The DNA: Intense, vocal, uncompromising, and deeply gritty. The Practice Lens: This coach is your ultimate line enforcer. They do not allow a single loose standard to seep into the gym. If a perimeter defender soft-recovers on a closeout, fails to play with High Hands, or displays poor body language after a turnover, The Antagonist blows the whistle and stops the clock instantly. They take the burden of daily confrontation off the head coach's plate, protecting your program's unyielding Standard of Tolerance through the exhaust. Coach's Note: "If you are the only person screaming, correcting, and driving the energy in your gym every afternoon, you haven't built a staff—you've just hired a group of spectators with front-row seats. Elite program building demands that you check your ego at the door. Trust your people. Give your Organizer the clock, give your Yoda the clipboard, give your Antagonist the license to protect the culture line, and step back so you can actually lead. Build a shield, not a one-man show."

https://teachhoops.com/ If you study the vast majority of athletic programs, you will see coaches who are entirely consumed by the physical mechanics of the game. They spend hours pacing the sideline, drawing up intricate tactical screens, and micro-managing their athletes' every step with a joystick mentality. They believe that winning is a direct product of holding the loudest whistle or hoarding the largest playbook. But if you look at the absolute best coaches—the masterclass program builders who consistently cut down nets year after year, regardless of roster turnover—you will see a completely different operational standard. The best coaches aren't just tactical experts; they are elite organizational architects. They don't look at a team as a collection of athletes to be micromanaged; they look at a program as an integrated ecosystem designed around high Activity Density, clear operational roles, and a shared linguistic standard. This episode steps into the "Truth Room" to analyze the definitive habits, frameworks, and structural philosophies that separate the legendary program builders from the average play-callers. The best coaches build an unshakeable ecosystem by shifting their focus away from trailing indicators like the scoreboard and focusing entirely on four high-leverage internal pillars: Average coaches rely heavily on block practice—running static, scripted drills where players stand in long single lines waiting to take a shot or finish a move. The best coaches treat time as a premium currency. The Blueprint: They structure their 120-minute practice scripts around maximum Rep Density. They mandate a Multi-Ball architecture so that at least $70%$ of the roster is actively catching, moving, or scanning concurrently. The Decision Load: They replace empty-gym cone drills with Small-Sided Games ($SSGs$) built around precise spatial constraints. This forces players to read the defender's hips independently, elevating their Decision IQ and Next Play Speed under heavy physical exhaust. The best coaches possess zero ego. They don't try to be the only voice echoing off the rafters. Instead, they assemble a diverse coaching staff and give them absolute autonomy within clearly defined structural roles. The Blueprint: They utilize their staff's unique DNA by deploying precise lenses. They empower The Organizer to completely command the practice clock and logistical flow. They task The Yoda with breaking down technical entry schemas, spatial geometry, and analytical counters. They unleash The Antagonist to act as the ultimate bad-cop enforcer of physical grit and defensive edge through the exhaust. Legendary coaches never make developmental or tactical decisions based on emotional guesswork or post-game frustration. Every single adjustment they introduce is mathematically engineered to protect the program's efficiency metrics. The Blueprint: Their ultimate offensive filter is optimizing the team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): The Fatigue Filter: Because they understand that mechanics break down under pressure, they intentionally schedule high-stress precision shooting and situational blocks at the absolute end of practice when legs are heavy and lungs are burning. This builds authentic Resilience Equity that translates directly to Friday night success. As a leader, your culture is not defined by the rules you write on the locker room wall; it is defined entirely by the lowest level of behavior you are willing to accept on a daily basis. The best coaches hold an uncompromised line. The Blueprint: If a star player soft-recovers on a closeout, fails to play with High Hands, or displays poor body language after a turnover, the coaching staff stops the clock instantly. They address the execution in the "Truth Room," correct the alignment, and demand an immediate reset. They refuse to sacrifice their long-term brand to salvage a short-term, transactional win. Coach's Note: "The best coaches don't build championship programs by micro-managing their players' every single breath; they do it by engineering an environment where excellence is the only available option. They clean up the practice clock, align their assistant staff, mandate an unyielding language like 'Next Play Speed,' and step back to let their players take total ownership. When you transition your gym from coach-fed compliance to a self-policing powerhouse, the scoreboard will take care of itself."

⁠https://teachhoops.com/⁠ If you walk into a gym and see a coach spending twenty minutes leaning against a wall explaining a drill, followed by players standing in a single line waiting to take a shot, you are witnessing an operational failure. Time is the most valuable resource a coach has. If your practice design is slow, loose, and lecture-heavy, you are actively coding sluggish habits into your roster. In a level 4 championship program, practice is an intentional, high-speed ecosystem designed around Activity Density and Sensory Load. You don't build a cohesive, resilient team by accident; you build it by engineering an environment that forces continuous decision-making under physical exhaust. This masterclass blueprint breaks down how to structure your practice timeline to maximize repetition density, protect your players' mechanics, and move your team from basic compliance to absolute player-led ownership. Every block of your practice script must have a precise time limit enforced by The Organizer (your Chief of Staff) to eliminate dead time and keep the energy soaring. The Setup: No static stretching on the baseline. Players move through high-tempo physical activation patterns (lunges, skips, defensive slides) across the full court. The Standard: This isn't a quiet warm-up. Players must continuously shout out defensive commands, echoing coverages through the gym to establish high vocal energy before a single basketball is rolled out. The Setup: High-speed ball handling, passing, and finishing tracks. The Constraint: Every single drill must feature a Multi-Ball architecture. If you have twelve players on your roster, at least $70%$ of them must be moving, catching, or passing simultaneously. Lines are banned. The Analytical Return: Maximizing your Rep Density eliminates boredom leaks and builds rapid motor-skill development under a elevated heart rate. The Setup: Transition from isolated skill work into contextual 2-on-2, 3-on-3, or 4-on-4 games. The Execution: Implement tight rules or constraints (e.g., maximum 2 dribbles per touch, or the offense must touch the paint within 4 seconds). The Goal: This forces players to read the defender's hips and build independent, zero-second Decision IQ rather than playing like robotic actors waiting for a joystick instruction from the sideline. The Setup: 5-on-5 half-court and full-court system alignment. This is where you install your primary offensive cutting geometry and your defensive shell (such as an aggressive match-up zone or a trapping 1-3-1 alignment). The Standard: Hold an unyielding Standard of Tolerance. If a defender fails to close out with High Hands or a player shows poor body language after a turnover, The Antagonist stops the clock instantly. You address it in the "Truth Room," correct the alignment, and demand elite Next Play Speed. The Setup: Full-court transition shooting or live situational scrimmaging (e.g., down 4 with 45 seconds left and no timeouts). The Critical Filter: Many coaches put their shooting blocks at the beginning of practice when everyone is fresh. We intentionally place precision execution at the absolute end when legs are heavy and lungs are burning. This is where you build Resilience Equity, forcing players to lock into their mechanics and maximize their Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) under extreme physical exhaust. Coach's Note: "Championship habits aren't forged under the bright lights of a Friday night gym; they are built during those quiet, exhausting Tuesday practices in the middle of January when nobody is watching. If your practice script allows for laziness, silences, or long gaps of standing around, you are teaching your kids how to lose. Clean up your clock management, maximize your rep density, challenge their decision IQ, and let your collective culture carry the standard."

Photo: Angie Fitch, executive irector of Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, with two Koyuk residents and their pets during a recent visit. (Courtesy Angie Fitch) A group of Alaska Native organizations is launching a new rural veterinary public health program this month to provide care for animals in dozens of tribes across the state. As the Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, that includes rabies vaccinations, testing for infectious diseases, as well as spaying and neutering. Mike Williams is a musher and the chief of the village of Akiak. He says he and other Alaska Native leaders for years have been advocating for more veterinary care in villages like his. “In Akiak, there were two rabid foxes shot this past winter, and there are many loose dogs. I think the main need is vaccinations with rabies and parvo … that kills a lot of our animals.” The Alaska Federation of Natives' new program is in partnership with a nonprofit, Alaska Native Rural Veterinary. The two-year initiative will bring veterinary services to 80 villages. Arleigh Reynolds is a former musher and the medical director for Alaska Native Rural Veterinary. He says rabies is endemic in northern and western Alaska, and up to 25 people are exposed to the virus each year. The exposure usually happens when rabid wildlife, like foxes, bite village dogs. “Dogs have been part of life in rural Alaska since people have been in rural Alaska. When something that has always been a huge benefit to a society becomes a potential threat, it’s really a problem, right? It disrupts the whole foundations of that society or culture.” Reynolds says it is difficult to access veterinary care in villages off-the road system, and traveling to get care is costly. Additionally, some parts of Alaska experience seven times the national average of reported cases of children bitten by dogs. He says he hopes the new initiative can help address both of these issues. “Most importantly, it’ll save trauma on people and dogs, but it’ll also save communities and health-providing organizations an incredible amount of money.” Taking care of pets in villages can also help protect subsistence resources, Reynolds says. One example is vaccinating against distemper that is contagious and fatal to wildlife, like seals that many Alaska Native communities hunt. The authors of the new program say they hope it will act as a bridge on the path towards permanent and sustainable veterinary care for tribes. As communities across the country mark America’s 250th anniversary, a new augmented reality experience in Boston is highlighting Indigenous history that is often missing from the nation’s founding story. White Snake Projects, in partnership with the North American Indian Center of Boston, has launched Indigenous Stories, a free, self-guided walking tour along Boston’s historic Freedom Trail. Available through December 31, the smartphone experience guides visitors to six locations where they can view virtual performances by Native artists and learn about significant events in the city’s Indigenous past. The tour explores the forced removal and imprisonment of Indigenous people on Deer Island during King Philip’s War, Native enslavement in colonial Boston, the life of African and Indigenous patriot Crispus Attucks, the 1755 scalp bounty proclamation targeting the Penobscot Nation, and the execution of Nipmuc leader Tantamous on Boston Common. Organizers say the project is meant to ensure Indigenous voices are part of the conversation surrounding the nation’s semiquincentennial and to give visitors a more complete understanding of Native peoples’ role in Boston’s history.

https://teachhoops.com/ When you step into a head coaching seat—whether it's your first year or your second time around—the most critical decisions you make happen before you ever draw up a baseline out-of-bounds play. You have to build your defensive and offensive shield, which means assembling a staff that features diverse tactical lenses and behavioral strengths. In this masterclass finale, we bring all four archetypes together: The Yoda, The Antagonist, The Organizer, and The Mediator. We discuss how to audit your current staff's DNA, how to assign roles that maximize your program's efficiency, and how to blend these distinct coaching voices into a single, unified signal that drives your team toward a championship standard.

Twin Cities Pride returns this weekend with the annual festival in Loring Park and parade in downtown Minneapolis on Sunday. Over the past 53 years, the festival has grown to attract thousands of people to come see performers, check out vendors, and celebrate with friends and family. This year's celebration comes during a challenging moment for many LGBTQ+ people, with ongoing political battles over transgender rights nationwide. Andi Otto is the executive director of Twin Cities Pride. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about this year's festivities and what holding a pride celebration means in 2026.

Roseburg Schools and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians have announced a partnership to help preserve the tribe's ancestral language, as KLCC's Brian Bull reports. Starting this fall, both Native and non-Native high school students can take the Takelma language for official language credit. The last known speaker died more than a century ago, but linguists and audio recordings from the Smithsonian Institution have helped revive it. Lindsay Campman, a spokesperson with the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua, says the tribe has deemed language as important to its citizens. “And that continues to make our people strong. It’s a link to have something in common with your ancestors who lived a very, very different life centuries ago. But being able to speak that same language that they did, that’s a powerful connection.” The Cow Creek Band is also partnering with Roseburg Schools on a statewide program to improve Native students' attendance and is gifting the district half a million dollars towards renovating Roseburg High School's sports complex. Myles Lewallen, left, his client Indigenous Design Studio + Architecture founder Tamarah Begay, and his co-counsel Jake Curtis testify before the Budget and Finance Committee on June 17, 2026. (Courtesy Navajo Nation Council) The Navajo Nation Council has paused its public hearing into the ZenniHome scandal until next month, but in testimony last week, a key witness made a bombshell allegation against her ex-business partner. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. Tamarah Begay is the founder of Indigenous Design Studio and Architecture, which hired the now-bankrupt ZenniHome as a subcontractor to make 160 modular homes for the Navajo Nation. Zenni built only 18 after getting $24 million. “I am not a thief, and I am not a criminal.” But under oath, Begay leveled an accusation against ZenniHome CEO Bob Worsley. “He went ahead and actually forged my name under HozhoniHomes and submitted that to the state of Arizona.” That 2023 filing created an LLC, naming Begay's firm as a member. Her legal counsel clarifies they have not “seen any documents with her signature forged,” but insists this entity was formed “without her consent and against her express direction.” Neither Worsley nor his attorney, who signed off on the LLC, immediately responded to KJZZ's request for comment. (Courtesy Lomakatsi Restoration Project) Nine tribal members have graduated from a forestry and wildland firefighting training program in southern Oregon that blends modern fire management with traditional Indigenous knowledge. The graduates completed 18 weeks of paid training through the Tribal Ecological Forestry Training Program, operated by the Lomakatsi Restoration Project. Participants learned wildland firefighting, forest restoration, fuels reduction, chainsaw operation and cultural burning practices. For thousands of years, Indigenous communities across the West used carefully managed burns to improve forest health, encourage the growth of important plants and reduce vegetation that can fuel large wildfires. Many of those practices were restricted after federal fire suppression policies took hold. Today, tribes and land managers are increasingly looking to traditional fire knowledge as a tool for reducing wildfire risk. Program leaders say the training not only prepares Native youth for careers in forestry and firefighting, but also helps reconnect participants with cultural traditions tied to caring for the land. The program serves tribal communities in Oregon and northern California, where increasingly severe wildfire seasons have threatened forests, wildlife habitat and rural communities. Organizers say graduates leave with industry certifications and hands-on experience that can lead directly to employment in wildland firefighting and natural resource management. As fire seasons grow longer and more intense across the West, supporters say Indigenous knowledge and the next generation of Native fire practitioners will play an important role in protecting forests and communities.

Friday was a make-it-or-break-it day for proposed statewide ballot initiatives. Petition signatures had to be submitted to county elections officials June 19.

WBBM's Geoff Buchholz reports on plans for this weekend's PrideFest street festival on Halsted St.

It's Tuesday, June 16th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Two pastors killed in Manipur State, India Two pastors -- Pastor Kenpibou and the Rev. Manu Thiumai -- and at least two others were found dead in India's Manipur State last week, reports The Christian Post. The victims of ethnic and religious violence were found with their hands tied and their bodies mutilated in this northeastern state.  The Economic Times quotes a Manipur home minister who described the killings as “a heinous crime against humanity.”  74% of Israelis support sexual perversion today The Jerusalem Post reports that more than 100,000 persons participated in this year's so-called “gay pride” parade in Tel Aviv, Israel. A new study conducted by the Israel Institute for Gender and LGBT Studies found that 74% of Israel supports “full and legally enforced equal rights for the LGBT community.”  That's up from 61% just three years ago. Additionally, 89% of secular Israelis support equal rights for homosexuals and transgenders compared to 75% of traditional Israelis, 53% of religious Israelis, and 25% of ultra-Orthodox Israelis. Judges 3:12 says, “Once again, Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.” Brazil's attendance at sexually perverted “pride” event cut by 50% In related news, one of the world's largest sexual perverted so-called “pride” events has been held in São Paulo, Brazil. However, a university drone count found that the peak attendance fell off from 73,600 in 2024, to 36,800 in 2026. Organizers say the total attendees topped one million, but that's down from three to five million in recent years. Isaiah 2:10-11 promises this: “Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.” Trump scored elusive peace deal with Iran The United States and Iran have reached a deal aimed at ending the war that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the American naval blockade, reports NBC News. A signing ceremony is set for Friday in Switzerland. Global markets soared after the tentative deal was announced, while oil prices fell more than $4 a barrel on the news that shipping may soon be restored through the key trade route, according to Just The News. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” However, the memorandum of understanding leaves some key issues unresolved, setting up potential future tensions. The deal gives the two sides 60 days to resolve what to do about Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and its nuclear program. Supreme Court sides with pro-abortion public school This just in.  The U.S. Supreme Court came down on the side of the pro-abortion lobby, to disallow a pro-life club from posting signs in a public school which would have denounced the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. Justice Alito pointed out that the “Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment constrains censorship.” Many U.S. Christian denominations have lost members American denominations have lost church attendance since 2007. Pew Research breaks it down by denomination. Only the Reformed Churches and non-denominational groups have recovered or gained members since 2007. By percentage,  Holiness churches have lost the most members, followed by Methodists, Adventists, Restorationists, and Baptists. In raw numbers, Baptists have lost 11 million members, Methodists have lost seven million members, Lutherans have lost four million members, and Holiness groups have lost 1.6 million members since 2007. Meanwhile, the non-denominational churches gained 10.5 million members, and reformed churches gained about 150,000 over this 14-year period. Overall, the decline of faith in America has leveled off since 2019, largely due to an increased interest in church attendance on the part of Gen Z men between the ages of 14 and 29. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was not reauthorized On June 11th, Congress did not reauthorize  the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. The vote was 198-218. FISA 702 has been used to spy on American citizens, and it actively circumvents the Fourth Amendment which prohibits the government from spying on Americans without a warrant. Almost all Democrats voted against reauthorization of FISA 702, but it took 19 Republicans to officially defeat the spying measure. Establishment Republicans signaled their disappointment that the measure was defeated, but Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee explained, “The Fourth Amendment is there for a reason.” Trump saved 146,000 migrant children trafficked under Biden The Trump administration has rescued 146,000 migrant children who were trafficked into the country during the Biden administration. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin explained the situation and the conditions under President Biden. Listen. MULLIN: “We're going to right the wrongs that the Biden administration turned a blind eye to. It's because of President Trump's leadership. It's horrific what's happening right in our own country because of four years of a blind eye that allowed unvetted sponsors to come pick up 450,000 kids on our borders, knowing their reports. While the Biden administration was in office, their own reports reporting that over a third of the females, regardless of age, were sexually assaulted before they made it to the border.” Cleveland Clinic to invest $2 million to help de-transitioners In another domestic victory, the Trump administration reached a massive deal with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation which agreed to stop transitioning minors. The clinic also agreed to commit $2 million to help de-transitioners, following in the footsteps of Texas Children's Hospital, which set up a $10 million fund for that purpose.  Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward stated, “The Department of Justice is steadfastly committed to protecting America's children. Just as the resolution with Texas Children's, today's resolution with Cleveland Clinic furthers that commitment and puts these providers on notice that this Department will vigorously enforce federal law where children are put at risk.” In Mark 9:42, Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones, who believe in Me, to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.” Artificial Intelligence can now clone your voice in a scam Please be aware!  Artificial Intelligence can now clone your voice with only three seconds of audio taken off of your voicemail greeting.  Artificial Intelligence scams increased twelve-fold in 2025.  Recent surveys have found one in four adults have encountered an Artificial Intelligence voice scam.  New York Knicks are world champions after a 53-year drought And finally, on June 13th, the New York Knicks became basketball world champions once again. ANNOUNCER: “It's over.  Knick fans: This is not a dream. Your long, long wait has ended. Go ahead and cry. After 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA champions once again.” During Game 5 of the NBA Finals in the Alamo City, the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 94-90, capping off a stunning playoff run.  Knicks star Jalen Brunson scored 45 points in the victory, which earned him the nomination of Finals Most Valuable Player. But even more special for Jalen was the fact that his Dad, Rick Brunson, was his coach.  Amazingly, Rick, himself a former NBA player, made the finals for the New York Knicks back in 1999, also playing against the San Antonio Spurs in that series.  Rick and Jalen continue to maintain a close relationship, which Jalen elaborated on in a Good Morning America interview on ABC. BRUNSON: “Our relationship is unique. People may think just because he pushes me a certain way that we don't say things to each other, but I wouldn't trade anything for the world. We have the best relationship, even when it looks like we're fighting.

(2) Timothy Ryback introduces the key power brokers of the 1932–1933 drama. On Hitler's side is Gregor Strasser, the gregarious "socialist" organizer who built the party's national infrastructure while Hitler provided the nationalist fanaticism. Opposing them is Kurt von Schleicher, a master political strategist and "puppet master" who views politics as "war by other means." He uses Franz von Papen, a handsome but less capable aristocrat, as his political tool. Additionally, Ernst Röhm leads the SA, a private army of 400,000 brown-shirted ruffians who militarized Germanstreets alongside rival political factions.1945 BERLIN

Fyre Festival was sold as the most exclusive party on earth — a luxury music festival in the Bahamas for influencers, celebrities, and the ultra-wealthy.

And if the organizer was right, could be persuaded to do so again. And again. And again.  Read Gabrielle Bluestone's book Hype: Inside the Fyre Festival and the Golden Age of Grift Watch the Netflix Doc she executive produced Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened.
