Episode 630: Another moment of the Red Sox season that feels like rock bottom comes at the hands of the Colorado Rockies. The Red Sox dropped two of three in Colorado in a series that felt like Boston could have swept. The guys try to digest the disappointing series and discuss just how bad this season has been. They also break down Jarren Duran's ongoing struggles and react to Craig Breslow's latest ridiculous comments about potentially not selling at the trade deadline. One of the most frustrating parts of this season has been wasting a really strong Red Sox pitching staff. Jake Bennett's potential emergence adds even more speculation around possible trades, so the 10 talks about which players they're attached to and who they could realistically see moved. We also get an update on the POTY race, hear about Tyler's first job, and mentally prepare  for a tough four-game series against the Yankees — where history tells us there's usually some news. 00:00:00 - This Team Sucks.  00:07:29 - Chapman Pitching Hurt.   00:11:19 - The Jarren Duran Situation. 00:22:10 - Rock Bottom?   00:24:55 - Sell, Sell, Sell.   00:34:21 - Wasting This Pitching Staff is a Crime. 00:39:43 - The Craig Breslow Quotes 00:42:22 - Just a Baseball?  00:52:24 - Jared's Nomar Auto & Brian Wilson, Starting 9 Alumni.   00:58:21 - Laugh or Cry?  01:02:14 - Who are We Attached To on This Team? 01:06:22 - Wilyer Abreu's Extremely Confusing Splits   01:11:05 - Is Jared's House Burning Down? 01:12:23 - POTY Race Update 01:14:21  - Taikus 01:15:02 - Shoutout To Our Pals at Baseball Lifestyle 101  01:20:55 - Tyler's First Job.  01:25:55 - Unreal, Thank You Delta. 01:27:56 - What Makes Seasons Like This Even Worse 01:50:31 - Prepare For News This Weekend    01:59:02 - Will Sonny Gray be Traded?  02:00:56 - Would You Trade Wilyer Abreu? + 62-100  02:06:41 - 1/10 Odds?   02:14:00 - MLB Draft Coming Soon  02:26:39 - Stop and Shop   02:33:21 - Weather Lookahead  02:35:50 - Prediction Time   02:39:43 - Final Thoughts  SECTION 10 MERCH IS HERE: https://section10merch.com/ Trade $20 Get $20 on Kalshi - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/Section10 Sign Up For Our Patreon for more Section 10 Content! https://www.patreon.com/cw/section10podcast Get Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White Belgian-Style Wheat Brew delivered by visiting http://get.bluemoonbeer.com/JARED for delivery options Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement brand.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at some of the big projects that the college has going on on the Booneville campus. Ford highlights the ongoing renovations to the men's residence hall -- White Hall - and the significant improvements taking place to enhance student living spaces. He also discusses the Career Technical Education (CTE) build-out at the former Corinthian building on MS-4, noting the multi-phase approach with the first stage set to begin in late summer or early fall of 2026 to develop new classroom spaces. By relocating a majority of the college's CTE programs to the new facility, additional space will become available on the Booneville campus to expand healthcare programs and increase the number of graduates in high-demand medical fields. Ford also provides an update on the Seth Pounds Auditorium renovation, sharing that contractors are on schedule -- and in some cases ahead -- with completion now anticipated in spring 2027. Ford also discusses the Public Safety Training Center that will make Northeast one of the premier locations for training of public safety officials in the state. In addition, Ford touches on several other campus improvement projects, emphasizing that each carries its own timeline but will ultimately enhance the overall student experience in meaningful ways. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

In this episode, we explore the transformative experience of law school clinics and their pivotal role in shaping the careers of aspiring lawyers. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from three exceptional graduates of Loyola Law School of Los Angeles' Ninth Circuit Clinic: Tina Kuang, Sydney Wong, and Molly Okamura. Under the guidance of our host, M.C. Sungaila, these talented alumni share their remarkable journeys, where they, along with their law school teammates, took on the challenge of briefing, arguing, and ultimately prevailing in immigration appeals before the esteemed Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Their stories exemplify how participation in law school clinics can sharpen legal skills, nurture professional growth, and accelerate careers in the legal arena.

In this month's podcast, recently graduated seniors sat down with Valo alumni to discuss the transition from high school to college and life beyond. They explored it all… from finding community and building new friendships to managing greater independence and navigating challenges. At the heart of the conversation, the alumni share wisely about how to find balance and stay connected to what matters most.

Alvin and German conduct a great conversation with Chaplain (Lt Col), retired FDNY firefighter, ordained chaplain, and nationally recognized leader in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), , Van Don Williams '77. Van Don has dedicated his life to serving others through emergency response, spiritual care, crisis intervention, and leadership. He began his career with the New York City Fire Department, where he served for more than 20 years as an Emergency First Responder and Battalion Firefighter. After Colgate he earned a Master of Science degree in Fire Protection Management from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, becoming the first active-duty African American firefighter in FDNY history to attain that degree. His experience responding to disasters fueled a passion for Critical Incident Stress Management, a commitment that deepened after surviving the collapse of World Trade Center Tower One during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In the aftermath of that tragedy, Van Don used his chaplain training to help fellow firefighters and first responders navigate grief, trauma, and healing. Following his retirement, Van Don continued his work in crisis response and mental health support. He currently serves as Deputy Chief of Chaplains for the United States Air Force Civil Air Patrol, holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During his more than 30 years of service with Civil Air Patrol, he has served at the squadron, group, wing, region, and national levels, while also developing and implementing Critical Incident Stress Management programs throughout the organization. At Colgate, Van Don earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Anthropology. He later earned a Master of Divinity and continued a lifelong commitment to leadership, service, and helping others heal in times of crisis.

35 Grad Sommerhitze in Bamberg, kühler Blick auf die Märkte: Peter Heinrich spricht im Heiko Thieme Club mit Heiko Thieme und zwei ehemaligen Thieme-Trainees, die längst selbst Geld bewegen: Joachen Waag und Christoph Groß. Waag zeigt, warum Handwerk für ihn eine robuste Anlageklasse ist: Assets von rund 160 Mio. Euro, ein konzentriertes Aktienportfolio und mit Fabri inzwischen 22 Haustechnikbetriebe. Seine Devise: keine Marktmeinung für die nächsten Wochen, sondern gute Firmen, starke Unternehmer und Denken in Dekaden. Christoph Groß von der LBBW erklärt Fixed Income ohne Fachnebel: Institutionelle Anleger suchen planbare Erträge, Investment-Grade-Portfolios liefern wieder rund 3,5 %, doch Anleihen sind kein Sofakissen. Steigende Renditen bedeuten fallende Kurse, und in Krisen kann Liquidität dünn werden. Heiko Thieme bleibt trotz Ölrisiko, Zinsdruck und geopolitischer Hitze rational optimistisch: Rückschlagsgefahr ja, aber sein Jahresziel bleibt bei 27.500 Punkten im DAX und 7.700 Punkten im S&P 500. Dazu: KI als Langfristmotor, Deutschland im Infrastruktur-Mittelalter und zwei konkrete Ideen: VW über ein Hebelprodukt und Nvidia gestaffelt kaufen. hre Fragen senden Sie gerne als Sprachnachricht an redaktion@heiko-thieme.club oder über das Dashboard. https://www.heiko-thieme.club/dashboard/ Geben Sie dabei bitte Ihre Telefonnummer an, unter der Heiko Thieme Sie ggf. erreichen kann.

Heights High 100 Years 100 years ago, back when gas cost 23 cents and the president was Calvin Coolidge, Cleveland Heights High School at Cedar and Lee Roads was constructed. Thousands of alumni and guests from around the country and beyond will be returning to the Heights to celebrate this milestone, and participate in a three-day festival this weekend hosted by the Heights School Foundation. Part of the goal of the festival is to help raise money for the district, which announced last month that it is needs to make at least $5 million in budget cuts over the next two years due to expected revenue losses. We'll spend time on Wednesday's "Sound of Ideas" talking about the role the school has played in the lives of so many over the last century, preview the weekend of festivities, and look towards the future of the district, which has churned out a host of prominent alumni like NFL brothers Travis & Jason Kelce and the Mitchells Ice Cream brothers, Pete & Mike Mitchell. Guests: - Laura Loebl, Executive Director, Heights Schools Foundation, Class of 1987 - Jayla Scruggs, Class of 2026 - Kathy Blackman, Owner, Grog Shop/B Side Lounge, Class of 1986 - Liz Kirby, Superintendent, Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District Juneteenth Celebrations Juneteenth is coming up this Friday, marking five years since then-President Joe Biden made the day a federal holiday. The holiday signifies the day in 1865 where slaves in Texas were informed of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Many communities in Northeast Ohio are commemorating the holiday Friday. We'll highlight some of those events for the rest of the show and learn more about the origins of Juneteenth. Guests: - Talise Campbell, Artistic Director of Djapo Cultural Arts Institute - Greg Palumbo, Executive Director, Cuyahoga County's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument - Tameka Ellington, Ph.D., Curator for Black History, McKinley Presidential Museum and Library

If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that your future was secure, would it feel easier to say yes to Jesus wherever he led you in your calling? We've all wished at one time or another that we could sit down with our future self and say, “How does this part of my life end up?” We want to know that we can step boldly and confidently into opportunities (or avoid certain failures…). But it doesn't work like that. Saying yes opens us up to a unique set of mysteries that we uncover as we go. And sometimes that mysterious future can make it really hard to say yes to Jesus.Today, we're wrapping up our series on common barriers to calling with a conversation about the future. Joanne and Lucas have returned one more time to help us wrestle with this particular barrier. And they're going to encourage us to say yes to the one who firmly holds our future in his hands and has invited us to trust him with it.RELATED EPISODE(S)Post-Graduation Disorientation and the Power of Perseverance (E173) - Apple, YouTube, Spotify, STAY IN TOUCHSocials: @afterivpodVisit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Community Relations Specialist Liz Calvery talk about the impact Northeast has on students.  Ford reflects on the lasting impact of the college experience and what truly matters when students look back on their time at Northeast. Beyond assignments, exams, and late nights of studying, he emphasizes the personal growth that defines a student's journey—finding their voice, building confidence, and discovering strengths they may not have known they possessed. Ford shares how meaningful moments both inside and outside the classroom—from speaking up for the first time to forming friendships and connecting with faculty—shape not only academic success but personal development. He underscores that college is not just about earning a degree, but about learning how to think, adapt, persevere, and grow through challenges, even when that growth is uncomfortable. At its core, Ford explains, the value of a Northeast education lies in preparing students not just for a career, but for life—equipping them with resilience, curiosity, and the ability to keep moving forward when faced with adversity. It is about what students carry with them long after they leave campus: not only knowledge, but character. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

When Pablo Coello began his medical training, he noticed a persistent gap in healthcare: clinicians and administrators often weren't speaking the same language, and the result was inefficiency that directly affected patient care. That realization ultimately led him to pursue a dual MD/MBA through Baylor College of Medicine and Rice Business.Now an orthopedic surgery resident at UC Health, Pablo brings a dual perspective to medicine — one grounded in clinical practice and another shaped by business training. That combination allows him to think not only about individual patient outcomes, but also about system-wide decisions that affect hospitals and communities.In this episode of Owl Have You Know, hosted by Maya Pomroy '22, Pablo shares why more physicians need business fluency, how teamwork at Rice reshaped the way he practices medicine and what it means to look beyond the exam room to the health of an entire community.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Pablo Coello01:14 Why Pursue an MBA Alongside an MD03:26 Early Path to Medicine04:13 Harvard Research Summers06:33 OR Inefficiencies Spark Change11:00 Inside the Rice MD MBA13:28 Biggest MBA Takeaways17:01 Advice for Med Students22:16 Defining Success Long Term25:33 Closing ThoughtsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why a hospital is an entity in a community17:51: Medicine is so much more than just what you do in a clinic, in the OR, in the hospital in general. A hospital is an entity in a community. It's not just a place you go. I've noticed this even…especially now that I'm actively practicing and training. There are people that actively need your help. And if you broaden your skills, eventually your level of impact is not just going to be on a patient-to-patient basis. It's on a community as a whole. And that's why I got my MBA, and that's why I would argue as any med student in the Houston area, any med student in general that has access to a business school, especially one as good as Rice, in their backyard or anywhere close, should ideally, if it's financially possible and the timeline works out, get an MBA so that they can have that impact in their community eventually.Medicine is a team sport14:02: Medicine is a team sport. You hear that all the time because we interact with other teams all day, every day. As an orthopedic surgery resident, our field is very specialized. So as a result, we get called by a lot of people, and we have to also call a lot of other people to help us manage things that we simply do not know how to manage. And I think having learned what I learned in the MBA helped a lot in terms of managing a lot of different things at once, different voices, if you will, in the clinical setting, which I did not really expect, to tell you the truth. But it helped because I learned also to not rely on myself as much.On fixing the structures that fail patients08:53: The supportive structures around the OR and other clinical aspects are simply not where they should be; we are failing the patient, and we are doing that over and over and over and over again. And it's affecting the overall health of the community. It's affecting the overall opinion of the community on the healthcare system, and it's costing the hospital—whatever hospital—thousands of dollars a day, every day for eternity. So I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I got this MBA because I wanted to be like this knight in shining armor, and I was going to solve all the problems, because I'm not. That's unrealistic, and I get it. But I want to be part of the solution, if you will.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Pablo Coello | LinkedIn

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at common misconceptions surrounding community colleges and set the record straight on what today's two-year institutions truly offer. Ford addresses the long-standing myth that community colleges are a “second option” for students who cannot attend a four-year university, emphasizing instead the intentional choice many students make for affordability, accessibility, and quality. He also challenges the perception that community college faculty are less qualified, noting that many instructors hold advanced degrees and bring extensive real-world and academic experience -- often comparable to, or exceeding, their counterparts at four-year institutions. The conversation highlights how Northeast delivers the same foundational courses found at universities at a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing academic rigor. Ford explains that while community colleges are often associated with career and technical education, they also play a critical role in preparing students for seamless transfer to four-year institutions, all while helping students enter the workforce with significantly less debt. Student life is another area where misconceptions persist. Ford discusses the wide array of opportunities available at Northeast, from campus events and intramural sports to clubs and student organizations -- sometimes rivaling or even surpassing offerings at larger schools. He also underscores one of the biggest advantages of the community college experience: smaller class sizes and a more personalized learning environment, which continue to attract students seeking stronger faculty engagement and support. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Alumni Jon Maldonado shares how his time at the Kanakuk Institute 16 years ago still impacts his life today - in work, family, and the community.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how the challenges facing today's students have evolved dramatically over the past 40 years. With decades of experience in education, Ford reflects on how institutions like Northeast must now prepare students for a world that is constantly changing -- one that looks far different from the stable, predictable career paths of the past. From navigating rapid technological advancement to addressing digital misinformation and emerging social and ethical issues, today's educational landscape requires a broader, more adaptive approach.

Professor Jonathan Miles' path to teaching organizational behavior at Rice Business is anything but conventional. Before entering academia, he earned a degree in computer science, worked in IT and even launched a comic book store — experiences that shaped his perspective on leadership, influence and human behavior.Today, Miles is known for challenging students to think differently about power, workplace dynamics and ethical decision-making. A co-adviser at the Virani Undergraduate School of Business and voted “Teacher of the Year” by our undergraduate business students, he has built courses that push both MBAs and undergraduates to confront uncomfortable truths about what it really takes to lead and succeed.In this episode, Miles joins host Maya Pomroy ‘22 to discuss why so many talented people struggle to advocate for themselves, what his comic book store taught him about entrepreneurship, and why influence is often misunderstood. He also shares his perspective on AI's growing impact on the workplace, the future of Rice Business and his hope for bringing undergrads and graduate students together in ways no business school has done before.Episode Guide:0:00  Introduction & Teacher of the Year Award2:29  Growing Up: Family, Influences, and Early Life4:40  The Winding Path: Journalism to Engineering to Computer Science7:40  The Value of Exploring Outside Your Major9:57  From IT to Teaching: Discovering a Calling15:56  Teaching Power & Influence at Rice17:55  The Biggest Misconception About Influence at Work22:15  Professionalism & Ethics: Why People Break Their Own Moral Frameworks25:04  AI in the Workplace: Hype, Risk, and the Road Ahead30:19  What Jon Hopes Students Take Away32:27  The Comic Book Store: Lessons in Entrepreneurship37:46  The Future of Rice Business & the New Building40:50  Closing and ConclusionThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why hard work alone won't get you promoted20:24: I find it interesting that, in the eight years I've been teaching it here at Rice, I don't think I've ever had a class where the majority of people in the class, when I talk about the things that hold them back from power, won't raise their hands and say, "Yeah, at least one of those affects me." And, you know, things like—we call it the just world hypothesis—the idea of like, oh, well, you know, merit exists, and if I do a really good job, I will rise in the organization because people will notice. And we talk about the fact that our research is pretty clear that that's not true. We have years of research on this that says your boss doesn't have any idea what you do, and your boss's boss certainly doesn't. And so this idea of you have to advocate for yourself, even though it doesn't feel great to you. Leaders vs. bad managers36:09: What I told my students is, "I'm not here to make you into great leaders. Some of you will be great leaders because you have that natural piece, and I'm going to teach you this, and if you follow and do this information, you'll become a great leader. But I guarantee you, if you just follow what I say, you won't be a bad manager. You won't be a bad leader." And I've had enough bad leaders over the years that my crusade is to get rid of them, to try and, try and teach people so that we don't have them. And I'm hoping that the people who come out of here with Rice MBAs, and even our Rice undergrad degrees, have the understanding of how to be a manager that does the right things.What Jonathan hopes for the future of Rice Business45:19: I hope that we can maintain doing that because we could provide our undergrads with a tremendous ability to get a great education, and one that they're not going to get in an undergrad program elsewhere, from people who really know what they're talking about and are good at teaching it.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Jonathan Miles | Rice BusinessJonathan Miles | LinkedIn

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how Northeast continues to maintain its close-knit, personal feel as higher education evolves. Ford discusses how students at Northeast are more than just a number, highlighting the importance of faculty who know their students by name, advisors who take a vested interest in individual success, and a Student Success Center that supports students through challenges. He explains how the college actively listens to the needs of the community and the workforce, adapting programs and training to meet those demands while still preserving a personalized student experience. The conversation also explores how Northeast tailors workforce training for both new and established employees, ensuring alignment with industry expectations. Inside the classroom, Ford emphasizes the value of traditional instruction, where faculty-led lectures and meaningful engagement help students fully understand their field of study -- so much so that they can confidently explain it to others. Balancing innovation and tradition remains a key focus, as Northeast works to meet workforce needs while maintaining small class sizes, accessible faculty, and a vibrant campus life. Ford underscores that the Northeast experience is built on personal connections -- not a one-size-fits-all approach, but one rooted in individual attention and community.

For many Arizona students, the path into science begins with a single summer that reshapes their confidence and their future. Since 2007, the Helios Scholars Program at TGen has been that turning point. Each year, Helios Scholars spend eight weeks working directly with TGen researchers exploring cancer biology, neurological and infectious disease, diabetes, and the fast‑growing world of computational genomics. Some even step into administrative roles that keep scientific projects moving. The program began with a Helios Education Foundation grant in 2006. The pilot's success led to a $6.5 million endowment and the official launch of Helios Scholars at TGen, a program built to educate, inspire, and strengthen Arizona's STEM workforce. Now entering its 20th year, the impact is undeniable. Alumni have published research, earned national recognition, and joined top graduate and medical programs across the country. Helios alumna Saahithi Mallapragada joins TGen Talks to discuss how her Helios experience became a launchpad for her career in science. You'll hear about her internship experience, her work in the lab, and why she would encourage anyone to apply to the Helios Scholar program to see if science might be a true passion.

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast, Alumni relationships are shifting from tradition-bound loyalty to something more dynamic, personal, and value-driven. In this conversation, the focus turns toward what institutions are getting wrong and how listening more carefully could reshape the future of fundraising and engagement. Howard Heevner brings deep experience from a 30-year career in higher education fundraising, beginning at the University of Iowa and later serving as executive director of annual programs at UC Berkeley. He is also a co-founder of the National Alumni Survey. This large-scale initiative has grown significantly over time, expanding from tens of thousands of responses across dozens of institutions to well over 150,000 surveys. His work centers on understanding donor behavior patterns and challenging long-held assumptions about alumni generosity and awareness. The discussion highlights key shifts: declining donor participation, the emergence of distinct giving cultures across age groups, and the misconception that non-donors are simply uninformed. Instead, many already give elsewhere, signaling a need for institutions to move from assumed loyalty to earned trust. The conversation also emphasizes personalization, better use of technology for listening rather than broadcasting, and the importance of making alumni feel seen, relevant, and considered. Ultimately, it calls for a more responsive, value-aligned approach to engagement and fundraising systems. In this episode, you will be able to:  - Understand shifting trends in alumni engagement and fundraising behavior. - Recognize the importance of moving from assumed trust to earned trust. - Identify how alumni giving patterns vary across age and value systems. - Learn why personalization improves relevance and alumni connection. - Understand the need to make alumni feel seen and considered. - Identify gaps between investment in student vs alumni experiences.

Caleb Kapusinski graduated with the class of 2021 and now works in sales as an account manager for a general contractor. His episode is organized around two convictions he has carried into the workforce and has not stopped thinking about since. The first is that a smaller school creates space for a fuller person. At Cambridge, Caleb played basketball, ran cross country, performed in theater, and served in house leadership, not because he was exceptional in all of those fields, but because the school was small enough to say yes to all of it. He believes that habit of saying yes is increasingly rare, and increasingly valuable. The second is that Cambridge taught him to ask why. In his work, that translates to getting past a client's first answer to find the real problem underneath. In the classroom, it meant Socratic discussions oriented not toward the right answer but toward genuine understanding. The two convictions are, he argues, more related than they appear: a well-rounded person who knows how to ask good questions is, in his experience, exactly what the labor market is not producing and very much needs.

Send us Fan MailToday's podcast is from a Live Coaching session inside our Alumni program, Beyond MACROS101, where I sit down with Leah to unpack what seemed like a simple macro-tracking problem, but turned into a much deeper conversation about choice, ownership, and intentionality. We talk about the difference between actively making your own decisions and just reacting to life as it happens, and how that mindset shift can completely change your relationship with food, goals, and even yourself. If you've ever felt like you're “getting away with something” in your fitness journey, this episode will challenge the way you think about progress, flexibility, and personal responsibility.Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/408Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:bicepsafterbabies.com/M101

Stephen Priest graduated with the class of 2020 after attending Cambridge since second grade. He went on to Baylor University, where he majored in mathematics, philosophy, and linguistics, and is now completing a master's in philosophy at Georgia State, where his research touches on AI ethics and moral cognition. The throughline connecting all of it runs directly back to Cambridge. Stephen's episode is a sustained meditation on how ideas connect. Latin and Ancient Greek taken simultaneously led him to linguistics. Logic opened the door to set theory and philosophy of mathematics. A senior thesis topic became an undergraduate thesis topic and remains an area of active inquiry. The Cicero he studied in rhetoric class became the subject of a first-semester college research paper, written in Latin, drawing on three distinct strands of his Cambridge education at once. What he finds most striking is that it was not only his training in mathematics that prepared him for advanced mathematics. It was his training in the humanities. Upper-level math is about proofs, and proofs are arguments, and knowing how to find, develop, and communicate an argument clearly is the same skill Cambridge builds through essays and debate. The disciplines were never as separate as they appeared. For Stephen, philosophy is where all of it converges. It is the discipline that asks what the other disciplines are actually doing, and Cambridge, without ever teaching a philosophy course per se, spent years preparing him to love exactly that question.

https://teachhoops.com/ More Than a Whistle: The Multi-Dimensional Impact of a Coach The true impact of a basketball coach is rarely found in the trophy case or on a digital stat sheet. While the "X's and O's" occupy the public's attention, the actual work of a coach is the invisible architecture of human development. A coach serves as a bridge between a player's current reality and their untapped potential. In many ways, a coach is the "Chief Culture Officer" of a community, setting a standard of behavior that resonates long after the final buzzer of a senior season. On the court, a coach uses the game as a laboratory for life. Every practice is a lesson in delayed gratification, resilience, and emotional regulation. Character Forging: When a coach holds a player accountable for a missed rotation or a lack of communication, they aren't just correcting a basketball error; they are teaching that actions have consequences and that the "Standard" exists regardless of how one feels in the moment. The "Belief" Factor: Often, a coach is the first adult to believe in a young person's capacity for greatness. That "Transferred Confidence" is frequently the catalyst that allows a player to pursue higher education, difficult careers, or leadership roles later in life. A coach's greatest tactical impact is the ability to transform a group of individuals into a unified organism. This is where "Culture" becomes a competitive advantage. Psychological Safety: By creating a "Truth Room" where players can fail and learn without fear of shame, a coach builds a high-trust environment. Role Alignment: One of the most difficult coaching tasks is helping a player find dignity and pride in a "supporting" role. When a coach successfully communicates that the "screen-setter" is as vital as the "shot-maker," they are teaching the fundamental mechanics of a healthy society. In many towns, the basketball program is the "front porch" of the school or community. A coach has the power to dictate the Civic Tone of an area. Legacy of Standards: A long-tenured coach becomes a "Steward of Tradition." They connect generations of families through shared values. The "Coaching Tree": The impact is also measured by the assistants and players who go on to coach others. A single principled head coach can influence thousands of athletes through the "coaching lineage" they leave behind. "A transactional coach focuses on what they can get from the player; a transformational coach focuses on what they can give to the player."

#711: A computer science degree used to feel like a sure thing. Job placement rates topped 90 percent. Starting salaries cleared $80,000. You could do the math on your student loans before you enrolled. That math doesn't work the same way anymore. New York Times "Your Money" columnist Ron Lieber joins us to walk through what families actually need to know before borrowing for college. He covers how to use the federal College Scorecard to look up earnings by school and by major. He explains why the scariest student loan headlines are almost always about graduate school rather than undergraduate debt. And he makes the case that liberal arts majors tend to catch up to their STEM peers by mid-career - even if the early numbers don't show it. Lieber also makes a case that the financial return on college extends beyond salary data. Alumni networks, mentorship, and lifelong friendships all factor into the equation. He suggests asking schools pointed questions about reunion attendance and alumni giving rates as a way to gauge how connected - and how useful - a community actually stays after graduation. On the debt question, Lieber draws a clear line between federal undergraduate loans, which cap around $31,000, and the more dangerous combinations of Parent PLUS loans and private debt that drive the horror stories you see in the news. He also addresses the community college path in detail - including what it actually takes to pull it off without losing time or credits along the way. The conversation closes with a framework for parents: keep sparking conversations with your kids, stay curious about what they're drawn to, and treat yourself less as an advice-giver and more as someone planting seeds.
