Michael and Mircea record live from the Pickle Brawl — a charity Pro-Am event at Dink & Dine Pickle Park in Mesa, raising awareness and funds for fentanyl addiction treatment. This is Part 2 of their tournament prep series. Event Highlights Played alongside NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry (age 82!) — still incredibly competitive Met outstanding junior players aged 12–17 — the future of pickleball is very bright Honored veterans in attendance — thank you for your service Playing with a Ref Refs focus on two things: calling the score and calling foot faults. You'd be amazed how often rec players are in the kitchen. Pro tip: film yourself at the kitchen line and watch it back — you probably foot fault more than you think. Tournament Prep Checklist Know the ball (Franklin vs. Lifetime plays very differently — practice with it first) Know the scoring format: standard 2-to-11, rally scoring, or win-by-1 (NPL/CSP style) Know timeout rules: traditional = 2, NPL = 1 Verify paddle approval: USAP vs. UPA — this caught Mircea off guard at this very event! Side selection: pick the better end at the start so you have it for a potential Game 3 Mental Game Everyone gets nervous — embrace it. Michael's reset: tap the paddle on the fence between points to physically "wipe" the last point away. When things get tight, focus on your footwork. Moving your feet loosens you up mentally and physically. Anna Leigh Waters is the gold standard here. Common Mistakes Changing equipment last minute Arriving late and skipping warmup Going too aggressive too early Letting nerves take you out of your wheelhouse Poor hydration and nutrition (dehydration = injury risk) Abandoning what worked in Game 1 Strategy Reminders Start simple: returns down the middle, thirds toward the moving player. Consistency beats spectacular every time. If you're down big, just get 2–3 points on the board — momentum is real.

Registered sex offender Rene Campos officially attempted to file paperwork to run for the Fresno City Council District 7 seat, prompting immediate backlash from local and state leaders. Though he submitted his candidacy documents, Campos ultimately failed to gather the required 20 nomination signatures, ending his bid and fueling legislative efforts to bar registered sex offenders from holding public office.

Today is International Women's Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women around the world. In this week's episode of “Registered,” we speak with one of Iola's most esteemed women leaders, Mary Kay Heard. Heard has served Iola in a variety of roles. A former business owner, she currently is chairwoman of Iola Industries and on the hospital's community board. In the past, she has also served on Allen Community College's board of trustees, the Iola Public Library board, and was a key member of the fundraising group for Allen County Regional Hospital. In a wide-ranking conversation, Tim Stauffer talks with Heard about her own experiences, the progress women have made and what work remains to be done, and how we all benefit from a variety of voices at the table. Here's our conversation.

Fresno Councilmember Annalisa Perea says she’ll introduce legislation to block registered sex offenders from running for city office, after Fresno resident Rene Campos, who is on the sex offender registry, announced plans to run for the District 7 council seat. State law currently allows registered offenders to run, but Perea and several colleagues say the rules must change. Two crashes in one week at Fresno’s infamous Friant & Shepherd intersection, where red‑light running is a chronic problem, have renewed calls for safety improvements. Neighbors say they’ve long avoided the intersection, and the city now plans $2.5 million in upgrades, including moving back a visibility‑blocking wall and redesigning the right‑turn lane to reduce confusion.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsome's California is attempting to make history by electing the first registered sex offender into office in the Fresno city council.This isn't clickbait, Rene Campos says he has ‘been given the chance to rehabilitate through the courts and back into the system.'Campos also says it's time to ‘choose somebody outside the box, somebody who knows the system from inside out, because me, I have experienced the laws that we are trying to reform right now.'If Rene wins he still will be prohibited from entering a school site or being around children.California state law does not prevent a registered sex offender to run for office. This is what Democrats have created, it's not a joke anymore.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Democrat Party is waging a war on children on a variety of fronts, ranging from criminal illegal aliens to the trans terror movement and beyond. While Hillary Clinton claims to be a warrior for women and girls with no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein, Andrea has the receipts to prove otherwise. Meanwhile, a registered sex offender has been cleared to run for City Council in Fresno, and California has pardoned a "monster" who kidnapped, raped, and tortured three-year-olds. Additionally, Senate Leader Thune and four RINOs blocked the SAVE Act after President Trump called for its passage during the SOTU. Finally, California GOP gubernatorial candidate Sheriff Chad Bianco is being pushed hard by the Republican Party—but who is the real Chad Bianco? Special guest Vem Miller joins us to share his personal story and answer that vital question.Support Our Mission: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZMGRBFGDJKRS8See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsome's California is attempting to make history by electing the first registered sex offender into office in the Fresno city council. This isn't clickbait, Rene Campos says he has ‘been given the chance to rehabilitate through the courts and back into the system.'Campos also says it's time to ‘choose somebody outside the box, somebody who knows the system from inside out, because me, I have experienced the laws that we are trying to reform right now.'If Rene wins he still will be prohibited from entering a school site or being around children. California state law does not prevent a registered sex offender to run for office. This is what Democrats have created, it's not a joke anymore.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Even by the most extreme “Romeo and Juliet” standards, Sari Bashi’s romance and marriage to her partner, Osama, has overcome impossible odds. When the two met in 2006, she related on the Haaretz Podcast, “It was very confusing for both of us, both because of the overwhelming social taboos, and the fact that it was also literally illegal for us to meet up together.” The two met after he had been “trapped” for six years in the city of Ramallah, where he was pursuing a career in academia. Registered as a resident of Gaza, where he was born, travelling elsewhere in the West Bank – or abroad – meant that the authorities would send him back to Gaza. Bashi had recently founded the human rights organization Gisha, and was assisting him gain permission from the Israeli authorities to study for his doctorate abroad. Bashi’s new book “Upside-Down Love” – written diary-style from both Bashi’s and Osama’s perspective – chronicles the story of the logistics of their courtship, like a date in which they took a hike in a West Bank countryside and “as we encountered more and more settlers with guns, it became apparent that I had an identity and a language that was common with the people who terrified him.” But despite the ongoing identity and security challenges, their love persevered. Bashi, who is also the newly appointed executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, talks about their life as a family in the West Bank – and the evolving complicated identities of their two Palestinian Jewish children, as she watches them “engage more in a process of trying to assert who they are. I think it'll change probably a million times before they become adults.” Read more: A Jewish Mom and a Palestinian Dad Raise a Family Full of Endless Contradictions Browse the Umm Forat column (2019-2022) in Haaretz Israeli Human Rights Groups Tell UN That Israel Increased Use of Torture During Gaza WarSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether it's the district's Humboldt Promise program, the new Cubs Community Care Center, limiting cell phone use in schools, or improvements from a $17.5 million bond issue voters passed in 2022, Humboldt schools are rapidly retooling to meet students' needs and prepare them for a changing world. At the heart of it is Superintendent Dr. Amber Wheeler, now in her fifth year at the district. The changes, insists Wheeler, are because of an unrelenting focus on “doing what's right for kids.” In this week's episode of “Registered,” we speak with Wheeler about how the district is transforming to meet the moment.

Episode Summary: Forget everything you thought you knew about pension plans being just for government workers. In this episode, pension lawyer Jean-Pierre (JP) Laporte, Pension Lawyer and Founder, Integris Pension Management, joins host Colleen O'Connell-Campbell to share a series of powerful, real-life case studies showing how registered pension plans - including Individual Pension Plans (IPPs) and Personal Pension Plans - are quietly and dramatically transforming the wealth trajectories of incorporated business owners across Canada. From a 73-year-old founder who saved his family $4 million in a single phone call, to a lawyer who discovered his pension was exempt from departure tax when relocating abroad, these are stories of what happens when the right strategy meets the right advisor. JP also breaks down the seven tax deductions available through a registered pension plan, the 2020 Ontario regulatory changes that removed the biggest barriers to entry, and why the only thing standing between most business owners and better retirement outcomes is awareness.   Key Takeaways   Since December 8, 2020, Ontario eliminated provincial registration requirements for connected persons, removing mandatory contributions, locking-in rules, and provincial fees - a major change for business owners.   Registered pension plans offer up to seven corporate tax deductions, compared to the single annual RRSP contribution - including past service recognition, higher annual contributions (up to ~30% by age 64), special catch-up payments, investment management fee deductions, loan interest deductions, and terminal funding contributions for early retirement.   Family business owners can add children to the pension plan once they are employed, creating a multigenerational wealth transfer vehicle with no 21-year deemed disposition rule (unlike family trusts).   Business owners holding passive investments inside their corporation can sell capital properties to fund the pension plan, offset the capital gain with the pension deduction, and generate tax-free capital dividends - creating a "corporate TFSA" effect.   Pension assets are exempt from departure tax when a business owner becomes a non-resident of Canada, and cross-border pension income is taxed at just 15% under most tax treaties (versus 25% for RRSP withdrawals).   Upon death without a spouse, pension plan assets can be split among multiple beneficiaries (including charities), with each taxed only on what they receive - a significant income-splitting advantage over RRSPs.   Pension plan assets enjoy creditor protection in Ontario, unlike RRSPs held outside of insurance companies.   Ideal Candidates: Family business owners with multiple generations, C-suite executives earning high T4 income, and incorporated professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants, pharmacists).   If you are an incorporated business owner  An IPP can be a tax smart retirement engine for the right incorporated owner, but it comes with rules, admin, and costs that need to be understood up front. You can fund with more flexibility as you age, but access is not as instant as an RRSP unless you plan for wind-up timing and implications. The structure can support creditor protection and estate or succession planning in ways many founders do not consider early enough. Book a one on one Wealth Gap Analysis with Colleen O'Connell-Campbell to pressure test whether your personal plan is aligned with your exit and retirement strategy.

She explains how gut bacteria can convert sorbitol into fructose, leading to detrimental effects on the liver. Leyla underscores the prevalence of MASLD in the adult population and its association with obesity and cardiometabolic conditions, emphasizing the need for caution in the consumption of alternative sweeteners.

A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. This might well be the most difficult episode I have ever done. Because I have no chill when it comes to these types of offenses and crimes. Conversations about sexual offenses are often framed in headlines, court records, and statistics, but rarely through long-form, accountable dialogue that explores what happens after conviction. Check out Her Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. In a recent episode titled “A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation,” listeners are introduced to Holly Bot, a convicted and registered sex offender who served eight years incarcerated in a Minnesota prison, followed by supervised release. Her story, shared through interview and reflection, focuses not on justification, but on responsibility, consequence, and personal transformation. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The conversation is available Free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, and across major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most major Podcast networks, and is being discussed across Facebook, Instagram, and News outlets for its difficult but uncommon perspective. The Crime and the Sentence Holly Bot, formerly known as Holly Kathleen Aho, was a Prior Lake, Minnesota woman who pleaded guilty in 2010 to felony criminal sexual conduct while in a position of authority. The charge stemmed from an ongoing sexual relationship with her son's 15-year-old friend, who had been staying in her home during a period of financial hardship in the boy's family. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . According to court records, the relationship occurred between February and March 2010. She admitted to police that the sexual contact happened multiple times, both in the family home and once during a stop in her vehicle while driving to a movie theater. She was sentenced to eight years in prison and four years of supervised release, and she is now a registered sex offender. “I don't tell my story to erase harm,” Holly states during the interview. “I tell it because accountability doesn't end at sentencing, it begins there.” Before, During, and After Incarceration The interview traces Holly's life before the crime, including her marriage, family structure, and emotional state leading up to the offense. She discusses the immediate aftermath, arrest, trial, and incarceration, without deflection. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Her marriage did not survive the process. “Prison didn't just take my freedom,” she reflects. “It stripped away every identity I thought defined me, wife, mother, normalcy.” Inside prison, Holly describes navigating shame, isolation, and survival, particularly as someone incarcerated for a sex offense, a status that often leads to heightened stigma and vulnerability within correctional settings. “You either confront who you are,” she says, “or you disappear inside yourself.” Spiritual Survival and Transformation A central theme of the conversation is spiritual transformation. Holly speaks openly about turning to faith, not as a shield, but as a framework for responsibility and change. “I had to surrender the idea that I was the victim,” she explains. “Spiritual survival meant telling the truth about myself, even when it was unbearable.” A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. That journey ultimately led to the writing of her memoir, From Surviving to Living, a deeply personal Book that documents incarceration, mental health struggles, broken relationships, and the long process of rebuilding a life after prison. From Surviving to Living From Surviving to Living is more than a memoir. It functions as a reflective resource for: Incarcerated individuals and reentry participants Correctional facilities and treatment programs Chaplaincy services and faith-based groups Mental health and recovery communities The book addresses intake, isolation, depression, anger, shame, accountability, and healing, offering readers emotional validation without minimizing harm. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “Change doesn't erase consequences,” Holly writes. “But it determines whether suffering is wasted.” A Difficult but Necessary Conversation This Podcast episode does not seek to soften the reality of the crime or the damage caused. Instead, it asks a harder question: What does responsibility look like over a lifetime, not just in a courtroom? The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. By allowing space for honest reflection, the conversation challenges audiences to hold two truths at once: the gravity of harm, and the possibility of transformation through structure, accountability, and sustained effort. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. The full interview is available Free on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and excerpts are being shared on Facebook and Instagram as part of a broader dialogue about incarceration, reentry, and personal responsibility.

1. Portrayal of ICE Operations ICE arrests in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul) are presented as targeting violent criminal offenders, including: Registered sex offenders Individuals accused of rape Individuals with histories of domestic violence, DUI, and sexual assault These individuals were previously free due to local non‑cooperation with ICE. ICE is described as fulfilling its intended mission of removing dangerous criminals from communities. 2. Criticism of Democratic Leadership Minnesota Democratic officials (mayors, city council members, state leaders) National Democratic figures (Chuck Schumer, Chris Van Hollen, Tina Smith, Stacey Abrams, Jon Ossoff) Key accusations include: Shielding criminal undocumented immigrants Encouraging or excusing obstruction of ICE operations Falsely portraying ICE as abusive or authoritarian Refusing to condemn protests that allegedly crossed legal or ethical lines (e.g., disrupting church services) 3. Depiction of Internal Democratic Conflict There is a “civil war” within the Democratic Party: One faction allegedly wants to abolish ICE outright Another faction purportedly wants to soften rhetoric while effectively achieving the same outcome Democrats are accused of strategically “humanizing criminals” and “dehumanizing ICE agents” to influence public perception. 4. Framing of Protests and Activism Protesters opposing ICE are described as: “Far‑left,” “radical,” or “deranged” Protecting criminals rather than communities Protests at or inside churches are portrayed as violations of social and religious norms. Democratic officials are criticized for characterizing these protests as mostly peaceful and justified. 5. Media and Narrative Control Mainstream and local media underreport crimes committed by arrested undocumented immigrants Media figures fail to challenge false or extreme claims made about ICE ICE agents are framed as unfairly maligned while operating under hostile political conditions. 6. Broader Ideological Framing The Democratic Party is portrayed as influenced by: Marxism, socialism, and communism Anti‑police and anti‑law‑enforcement ideology References to Hitler, Hugo Chávez, and authoritarianism are used to argue that left‑wing populism is dangerous and historically problematic. 7. Pro‑Trump and Law‑and‑Order Message Donald Trump is: A defender of law enforcement A counterweight to radical left activism Voter support for Trump is driven by a desire for public safety, border enforcement, and accountability.
