Voted most likely to never leave her hometown, Jordan Bonham Rasmussen was in love with the small town feel of the town that she grew up in in southwest Ohio. It caught everyone, including herself, by surprise, when she got the bug to challenge herself, step outside of her comfort zone, and for an internship, travel to a new place: Albion, Nebraska.  Receiving a bachelor's degree in agriculture communications from Ohio State University, it was a grain marketing class in her agricultural business minor that first sparked her interest in the excitingly competitive and ever-changing world of grain marketing. Getting what she calls a “wild-hair” in college, she told a recruiter for a chemical company that she wanted to go to Oklahoma or Kansas.  However, his only open opportunity was in a small town in northeast Nebraska, called Albion. She loved it so much that she accepted another internship there with Cargill, then accepted a training position after college, and now lives and works there full time.  The Perks of Internships Wanting something different, Jordan took the internship in Nebraska and packed up her Pontiac G6 and drove to live somewhere she had never been before, where she knew no one and worked for people she hadn’t even met. Even to this day, she realizes how crazy that sounds, but she also can’t imagine where her life today, as a Grain Marketer for Cargill, would be.  “When you are in college, it’s the perfect time to try those things and push yourself beyond those limits,” says Jordan. “It was something that I was questioning, and I wondered what life would be like out of Ohio - you never know, unless you try!”  Capitalizing on Collegiate OpportunitiesOriginally terrified to go anywhere other than where she currently was, Jordan told herself that “if you want to know anything else than what you currently know, learn new perspectives, see how other people think or what you do but do differently... you have to go elsewhere.”  Jordan laid the groundwork to be comfortable accepting such an exciting and slightly terrifying change in relocating for a few months for her internship was by immediately getting herself involved in organizations in college. Starting off, she was involved in two or three for a semester and then, as she got a handle on those, she found other groups to join that had some interest to her. Whether it’s a club, an organization or a study abroad program, you can figure out how to make it work.  “There were plenty of times that I hit a breaking point,” Jordan admits. “I knew that I had reached my max capacity and that I needed to reel it back in and focus on what truly mattered.”  Grain MarketersJordan finds it can be hard to explain to friends and family what exactly she does as a grain marketer, as she is sometimes selling a product to buy. For example, she is selling a contract and through that contract, she is buying that farmer's corn, which can be hard to wrap your head around if you’re just starting out.  “You have the futures aspect and the basis aspect,” explains Jordan. You have to sit down with your grower and figure out if the grower is the type to really understand technical aspects and their correlation or lack thereof, or if they’re simply thinking of the cash-price at the end of the day. Then you have to determine the best way to serve them.  COVID-19 ImpactsIn normal years, Jordan buys corn for Cargill that then sends through a conveyor to nearby Valero. Valero then processes the corn into the final commodity of ethanol. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the ethanol market in such a way that they actually turned into a shipper of corn utilizing the nearby Union Pacific Railroad to send the corn to California for chicken arms.  “I was very much in the flow of buying for an ethanol market and had to go back to buying for a rail market,” says Jordan, whose first role with Cargill was a farm marketing role

Cruising down the street in my Pontiac G6, lend me your ears.

It's one of the most famous moments in daytime TV history, but what really happened when Oprah Winfrey gave a brand new Pontiac G6 to every member of her studio audience? Leave it to The War on Cars to take that memorable (and very meme-able) moment and connect it to larger questions about mobility, access to economic opportunity and even the perverse way in which Americans pay for healthcare. In a country where everyone needs a car just to be a contributing member of society, what happens when that vital lifeline is severed? Are stories of 12-mile walks to work and individuals who help their fellow employees by buying them a car really “heartwarming,” as local news stories like to say? Or are they instead signs of a society that has failed at the basics? Is anything actually solved when solving people's transportation woes is turned into a televised spectacle?

Its Car Day! Melinda bought a 2007 Pontiac G6 and it has a gas smell, Mark's son had his car's transmission rebuilt by AAMCO and has had the same issue and now the warranty has ran out, Jackie has mice problems in her rented house and wants to know if she can do a "self eviction", Danny's daughter went to dentist and was told her three cavities would cost $394 and then three weeks later got another bill for $374, John paid $600 for a company to "fix" his computer over the internet and then "refunded" his $600 and mistakenly gave him $4000 more and wanted him to send the $4000 back in cash (SCAM SCAM SCAM), this and much more.Monday is HVAC Day!

Sure enough, the first full day with the new car, and I have to take my wife’s Pontiac G6 down to Maturi Pavilion. Why? I don’t quite yet know how to park our new monstrosity and her car fits in better places. Yup, it’s a Sunday in college wrestling and we’ve got some real fun stuff to discuss. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s happenings in college wrestling from around the world. I don’t have any funny anecdotes to share today, other than man, my fantasy football teams SUCK. Like bad. Horrible. Hashtag #NoOneCaresAboutYourFantasyTeam. I’ll start off at the dual I was at today as No. 4 Oklahoma State pulled away from No. 13 Minnesota 23-9 in front of over 3,000 fans at Maturi Pavilion. We saw two highly anticipated bouts and five overall that featured both competitors in the national rankings. After a rather uneventful Cowboy win at 125 pounds, Daton Fix of Oklahoma State knocked off Minnesota’s two-time All-American Ethan Lizak 6-1 at 133 pounds. Lizak is every bit of 133 and this new weight class should serve him well. Fix and Lizak got involved in some fun scrambles, but a pair of takedowns AND a reversal helped give the Cowboy redshirt freshman the W. I talk with Fix and a bunch of Gophers on The Guillotine Grapevine, which you can also find on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. Bonus wins by Chandler Rogers, Jacobe Smith and Dakota Geer allowed the Cowboys to pull ahead, even after a lost team point during the 133-pound bout. Minnesota did give their fans something to cheer about as Gable Steveson’s first home dual was a big W as he used a first period takedown and set of four nearfall points to top All-American Derek White 8-2 at 285 pounds. Again, hear from Gable, Eggum, Fix and Mitch McKee, who FINALLY beat Kaid Brock in a folkstyle match on the latest edition of The Guillotine Grapevine. No. 2 Ohio State had no Myles Martin and no Kollin Moore, but the Buckeyes had enough to beat Arizona State 22-17 in Tempe. Zahid Valencia of ASU beat TeShan Campbell at 174 pounds, while Micah Jordan registered a solid 18-8 major decision over Josh Maruca at 149 pounds. Lineups weren’t exactly at 100 percent for either team, but No. 5 Michigan topped No. 6 Lehigh 21-13 at Crisler. At 174, Myles Amine topped Jordan Kutler 6-4 at 174 … and really, that’s the only matchup that really had ranked wrestlers. We had an injury default with Malik Amine dropping a match to Jimmy Hoffman and Lehigh’s Jordan Wood majoring Luke Ready at heavyweight. Other than that, nothing really riveting, other than this match was supposed to be wrestled on Friday, but snow moved it to Sunday. Virginia Tech will limp home to Blacksburg after taking two losses on the road this weekend. No. 25 Northwestern used a major decision at heavyweight by Conan Jennings to knock off the 10th-ranked Hokies 20-16 in Evanston. The key match there came at 149 pounds where Shayne Oster upended Ryan Blees 8-7 in the tiebreaker. No. 12 Nebraska topped No. 18 Wyoming 22-12 in Laramie. A couple of interesting results from this dual on both sides. First, Zeke Moisey was upended by Wyoming’s Cole Verner at 125, then Tucker Sjomeling, who was just beaten the other night by Jens Lantz of Wisconsin, well Sjomeling beats All-American Montorie Bridges 13-11. Eye-Yeye-EYE. Branson Ashworth beat Nebraska’s Isaiah White 2-0. Nebraska picked up seven wins. No. 17 Wisconsin had redshirt freshman heavyweight Trent Hillger play hero on two occasions on Sunday. First against Princeton, Hillger earned a first period technical fall to push the Badgers past the Tigers 22-18. A few hours later, an overtime win over Tate Orndorff lifted Wisconsin past No. 21 Utah Valley 22-17. We’ll get to the tournaments in a sec, but we had some D3 action to get around to. John Carroll went 5-0 as it hosted the JCU Duals along with D2, D3 and NAIA teams. The Blue Streaks, and we don’t mean Martin Lawrence, beat Urbana, Waynesburg, Lourdes, Pitt-Bradford and Penn State … Behrend. Speaking of Urbana, the first-year Division II program earned its first win in school history by defeating another first-year program, Pitt-Bradford. Trevor Hankins’ technical fall at 184 pounds clinched the dual for the Blue Knights, who are coached by Seton Hill alum Brett Smith. Ok, tournament time and that’s where top-ranked Penn State rolled. One media professional, who shall remain nameless, told me earlier on Sunday that he appreciates how Penn State helps move a tournament along. Yeah, if Brock Lesnar welcomes people to suplex city, then Penn State wrestling .. wait, Pittsburgh is already calling itself Pinzburgh this year .. hey Penn State faithful, let’s come up with some type of name for Penn State that has some type of geographical marker like “city” or “town” or I dunno, maybe my friend Nate Schy, the Mayor of Bringtown, can come up with something. So Penn State won the tournament for a third straight year, scored 192 points and had EIGHT champions. The only weights they didn’t win were 125 and 149. Drexel was second with 109.5 points and five runners-up. Roman Bravo-Young, Nick Lee, Jason Nolf, Vincenzo Joseph, Mark Hall, Shakur Rasheed, Bo Nickal and Anthony Cassar. Two things MIGHT have gotten sorted out with the Penn State lineup. Brady Berge beat Jared Verkleeren at 149 pounds in a tight one before Berge would medically forfeit the finals. Cassar beat Nick Nevills convincingly in the semis at 285. I remember my first episode of Short Time, “depth is never a bad thing.” There wasn’t much in the way of ranked roadblocks in the finals, but Cassar had a solid major decision win over Drexel’s Joey Goodhart - Lancaster kid! - in the finals. Lock Haven won the Black Knight Invitational. THE BLACK KNIGHT ALWAYS TRIUMPHS! NC State didn’t see much in the way of super crazy battles at the Wolfpack open, but Tariq Wilson did beat Zach Sherman of North Carolina in the finals at 133. Best final of the New York State Intercollegiate championships was at heavyweight, where a pair of Division III All-Americans mixed it up. It was Oneonta State’s James Bethel who came away with the title, beating Ithaca’s Jake O’Brien 5-1. Bethel was a D3 runner-up a year ago. North Dakota State won five titles at the Roadrunner Open. Stanford freshman Shane Griffith, who’s still redshirting, was impressive in winning a title at 165 pounds. Menlo’s Terrill Sidner won at 149 pounds, beating high school phenom Jaden Abas and Junior World teamer Peyton Omania of Michigan State on the way to the title. The Missouri Valley Open took place in Marshall, Missouri for the women on Sunday. Marshall, as we know, is a nice community. There were plenty of notables. Sarah Allen of the University of the Cumberlands topped Wayland Baptist’s Junior world medalist Asia Ray with a second-period fall at 101. McKendree’s Felicity Taylor registered a solid title and a fall over Makayla Welch of King to win the gold at 116 pounds. Brenda Reyna of McKendree topped returning WCWA champion Andribeth Rivera of Campbellsville by fall to claim top honors at 130. Rivera had beaten Ali Howk in the semis, while Reyna topped Arian Carpio of Sunkist in her semi. Junior world champion Maya Nelson mixed it up with the college kids as she topped fellow Colorado native Ashlynn Ortega of King 11-1 in the finals. Ortega topped NYCRTC’s Bri Csontos in the semifinals there. Anna Naylor of the University of the Cumberlands won a 7-7 criteria final over McKendree’s Jasmine Bailey at 155, while veteran Brandy Lowe, who seems to have been around forever, gave McKendree another title with an 8-2 win over Alex Castillo of Campbellsville in the finals at 191.

It has maintained its basic competitive premise in which sixteen to twenty contestants, the castaways, are split into tribes and assigned separate camps at the filming's location, typically a tropical setting. As a tribe, the castaways must survive the elements, construct shelter, build fire, look for water, and scrounge for food and other necessities for the entire filming period, around 39 days. In the first half of the game, the tribes face off in challenges, some for rewards of food, shelter, or luxury items, while others are for immunity, preventing the winning tribe from having to go to the next Tribal Council. Tribes that do go to Tribal Council discuss the events of the last few days with the host asking questions, and then must vote out one of their own players, eliminating them from the game.In the second half of the game, the tribes are merged into a single tribe. Challenges are played at an individual level for individual rewards and immunity. At subsequent Tribal Councils, those eliminated start to form the jury, who sit in on all subsequent Tribal Councils but otherwise do not participate. When only two or three castaways remain, those castaways attend a final Tribal Council, where the jury is given the opportunity to ask them questions. After this, the jury members then vote to decide which of the remaining castaways should be declared Sole Survivor.by the local region, and directions to their camps.At their camps, tribes are given minimal resources, such as a machete, water canteens, cooking pots, and staples of rice and grains, and are expected to build shelter against the elements from the local trees and other resources. including fruits, wild animals, and fish.During both pre- and post-merge segments of filming, the castaways compete in a series of challenges. Tribes are alerted to these upcoming challenges by a message, often in rhyme, delivered to camp by the production team at a basket or box on a nearby tree; this message has come to be called "treemail", playing off the word "e-mail". The message typically hints at what the challenge might be. The message may also provide props to demonstrate this, practice equipment for the players, or a sampling of the reward. There are Tribal challenges and individual challenges, played for rewards, immunity or both.Top past prizes have been:• In Survivor: The Australian Outback, Colby Donaldson won a Pontiac Aztek.• In Survivor: Africa, Lex van den Berghe won a Chevrolet Avalanche.• In Survivor: Marquesas, Sean Rector won a Saturn VUE.• In Survivor: Thailand, Ted Rogers won a Chevrolet TrailBlazer.• In Survivor: The Amazon, Matthew von Ertfelda won a Saturn Ion.• In Survivor: Pearl Islands, Burton Roberts won a GMC Envoy XUV.• In Survivor: All-Stars, Rob Mariano won a Chevrolet Colorado.• In addition to the car, Rob was allowed to bring another contestant with him on a trip; he chose Amber Brkich, who received a Chevrolet Malibu as a result.• In Survivor: Vanuatu, Eliza Orlins won a Pontiac G6.• In Survivor: Palau, Ian Rosenberger won a Chevrolet Corvette.• In Survivor: Guatemala, Cindy Hall won a 2006 Pontiac Torrent; she was given the option to relinquish her reward to give the other remaining players, but declined.• In Survivor: Panama, Terry Deitz won a GMC Yukon.• In Survivor: Fiji, Yau-Man Chan won a 2008 Ford Super Duty but gave it to fellow contestant Andria "Dreamz" Herd as part of a strategic deal.
