Between 1760 and 1761, Great Britain witnessed one of the largest slave insurrections in the history of its empire. Although the revolt took place on the island of Jamaica, the reverberations of this revolt stretched across the Atlantic Ocean and into the British North American colonies. Vincent Brown, the Charles Warren Professor of American History and a Professor of African American Studies at Harvard University, joins us to investigate Tacky’s Revolt and how that revolt served as an eddy within the larger current of Atlantic warfare, with details from his book, Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War.

Welcome to Episode 26 How to Incorporate Humor in Your Video Content Strategy and What Humor is Making People Feel and Do in 2020 Open with a played joke from TikTok @careysperry That is a wildly viral and trending audio on TikTok’s social Media right now of people who put dogs around their dining room tables. Laughter is a universal language and although there are cultural Emotional connection with humor. Humor is everywhere today because there is fear everywhere too and laughter binds us together. During the pandemic, we see jokes about the frustration with quarantine, family dynamics, exercise, food and drink indulgences, political animations or voice overs….it goes on right?! In your business it can be aligned to this cultural relevancy either directly or indirectly and this episode I hope will help you piece it together as you think through or include more humor into your video social and advertising strategy. Humor thought of as entertainment, but it can leverage your message. Audiences need to be considered. And it’s worth noting that Not every video benefits from a laugh It makes sense to consider brand advertisements as a backdrop to your video content strategy. We know that some of the best brand advertisements, such as during the Superbowl, are funny! Now in a global pandemic, young generations and sometimes all are turning to TikToks of political impersonations, rhythmic dances and adorable child and animal funny instances! The Boston Globe writes, “…young people are using social media platforms to channel their energy into something a little less serious: creating content that finds the humor — silly or grim as it may be — in the midst of the pandemic.” The piece points out Catherine Caldwell-Harris, an assistant professor of psychology and a faculty member at Boston University since 1991, she says, “Humor is always going to be pushing the envelope, and we’ve got to kind of give it some leeway for that,” Caldwell-Harris said. “I actually think it’s a neat phenomenon where people are pulling together and having a national conversation about something that’s actually important. Maybe there can be more conversations, you know, income inequality or other things,….” So What is it that Makes Something funny? Well, usually it’s universal in that it goes against what we expect to happen or what we expect someone to say. I love Bloopers! I laugh and laugh – why? Because they aren’t how I expect it to go for whatever they are doing! There is sometimes a gender difference in “taste” shall I say in humor. Some women may appreciate what is referred to as a "guy joke", but some find them annoying. They usually have a shock factor – or a more sexual nature, which isn’t going to fare well in the business world anyway. But when you are of a certain gender you probably have a tolerance for things that the other gender does not. Culture is another area that will make humor resonate in differing ways. I have to acknowledge there is sometimes Fear in using humor in your content or advertising If used wrong it can offend. When it is either hostile, degrading, overly aggressive, righteous, of course any of these can be a turn off. Or like a joke that goes too far – it can do more damage than good. You’ll hopefully either know where to draw the line because you are vetting out the delivery or you will share it with people on your team or people you trust to share their professional opinion. Remember K-Mart’s ad, “I Shipped My Pants?” They took a lot of criticism for it sounding like a certain expletive. Many people thought it was funny and repeated it to their friends and family….others – too much. There are academic Studies out there to help us inform this subject: Recent Studies show that a good laugh can instantly improve mindset and put us in a better mood. According to Psychology.org, “human emotions such as anxiety, depression, fear, joy, and laughter, profoundly affect psychological and physiological processes. It goes on to say, “Ronald A. Berk, a pioneer of humor research, from Johns Hopkins University (1976–2006), has published more than 150 articles regarding humor, laughter, and learning.” He proved that “humor can bring dead, boring content to life.” To overcome the challenge of teaching “dead, boring content,” Might you think if you’re honest with yourself that any of your content, products or services may be perceived as a bit dull at times? Consider taking a funny twist! If you are selling something that may have some anxiety associated with it – and there are many – think of financial services, mental health help, relationship related companies like dating or counseling, medical….I could go on…anxiety is at a high level right now with the Pandemic anyway…. Even mild Humor may lower defenses and establish rapport which can increase your persuasive effects. According to a recent Nielsen study on social behavior as it pertains to the TV, as consumers keep close to home and to their TV sets, they’re using social media to stay connected now more than ever. It further found that, “As more consumers shelter in their homes, they’re turning to social media to pass the time.” The study was focused on TV, but this closely parallels social media video content and Social Media Lives or Live TV. Neilson also reports that Humorous Advertising themes resonate highest of 16 categories! They go as follows (and I put the graphic in the show notes) 1 – Humorous 50%, 2- Value Oriented 38%, 3- Real Life Situations 35%, Family Oriented – 33%, 5- Pets/Animals Centered 27%. The rest of the categories are Health themed, High-Energy/Action, Aspirational, Sentimental, Sports Themed, Celebrity endorsements (which is only 8% in the US), Sexual, and Athlete endorsed. I found A new study by researchers at the University of Michigan and Stony Brook University found that 20 minutes of improv experience causes people to feel comfortable and more tolerant of uncertainty. In one experiment, improvisation activity was to a control group with social interactions where people picked a friend to talk about, a movie to discuss and physical actions to demonstrate. The improv group improved more in divergent thinking, but both groups increased in feeling good and comfort with uncertainty. This goes along with the point I highlighted earlier that funny things are what disrupt what our minds and emotions expect. And it in a very short period of time makes us feel better. I put a link to this study in the show notes as well. Strategies for incorporating humor into your video content – word play, timing, visual, self-effacing humor or humbling yourself so people feel you are real or authentic/ Also, humor aids in the attraction first of all (just getting their attn in the first place) then sustainment of attention when you are trying to teach someone something. So many brands ARE trying to teach people things and the consumer will execute on learning more or buying the service or product just because you got their attention and kept it – while they were laughing at your message. Let’s highlight some Brand Examples In Insurance: State Farm – “Who are you talking to?” “it’s Jake from State Farm” "What are you wearing Jake from State Farm?" "Uhhhh Khakis?" (laughter) Geico – with the lizard Progressive with Flo and also the half man half motorcycle dude – being a Motaur Product: Old Spice with Isaiah Mustafa Dollar Shave Club did this ad on a dime….it’s on YouTube and I put it in the Shownotes. The CEO is riding around their ware house…it’s hilarious. This same also talks on CNBD at iConic Conference in 2017 about how he came about with the co., the ad and how it led him to a $1 Billion dollar acquisition by Unilever. Video: So we all know hopefully by now that a video strategy will serve your content and marketing strategy well – your viewers/followers and customers want it in short form and long form at times, but so do the platform algorithms. Now How can you Incorporate Humor Into your Video Strategy Here are 6 Steps You can take Today: What will be relatable to your target customer? For instance, I did a video series broken down by ea “episode” targeting authors. Before Covid, I had a program to help authors with their social media strategy to market their book that included capturing video content for them, editing it and delivering it either straight to their social walls and stories, OR storing it all in a Drop box for them to post. Step 2 – Make a list of challenges or situations that your target customer has. So, using the author persona again – my list included writers block, play with words and I did a meaning of slang word video, sleep apnea…..laying in bed thinking about the book and finishing the book. Do you follow me? Step 3 – Don’t need to spend a lot of time on this step, but definitely helps to spend a few minutes searching for videos that are targeting the same target as you are. Is anything trending? Did you find a video funny and now you can make it your own? Out line a script. Depending on who will be in your video(s) besides yourself, you may or may not need to get ultra specific. The new style of video first revealed in YouTube and now TikTok – I’m referring to the “style” of video, not the purpose of the videos….is multiple quick cuts – back and forth with little delay time if any inbetween. Edit it together – use an app like Slack to merge the clips together and write text over the Add music and even captions…depending on where you are going to post it. On LinkedIn, you really need to have captions on your videos. A bit less important now that people are working from home, but if they are bored in a meeting they often will scroll away on LinkedIn and read the text while watching your video with sound down or off all together. I’d love to hear what’s made you laugh lately? What brand caught your attention? What questions do you have about how to formulate a video series?

His latest book, Baseball Memories, is a collection of 101 poems celebrating America’s national pastime - - baseball. It recalls a number of outstanding players and their achievements. For example, Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, Ted Williams .406 batting title in 1941 and the magical pitching of Orel Hershiser just to mention a few. It also highlights some of the wild and zany events Major League Baseball would love to forget. The night in Cleveland when the club ran a promotion selling 12 ounces of beer at the ridiculously low price of 10 cents or at Dodger Stadium when someone had the bright but eventual disastrous idea to hold Ball Night. And then there are the classic games that are simply fun to recall and relive. In 1993 when the Toronto Blue Jays won their second consecutive World Series in dramatic fashion or the more recent 2016 World Series when every baseball fan was watching two teams, the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, both having failed to win a Fall Classic in many, many years.

People often sabotage or hinder their creativity, and it has a lot to do with how they define creativity and approach it. The good news is, creativity doesn’t have to be a long and laborious process, and if we define it right, exercise the creative side of our brains more, and give ourselves time to mull over ideas instead of jumping to judgment so quickly, all of us can be creative and come up with innovative ideas. Roger Firestien has just the tools to help us all get creative. Roger L. Firestien, Ph.D., has trained more people to lead the creative process than anyone else in the world. He is a senior faculty member at the Center for Creativity and Change Leadership at SUNY Buffalo, and the president of Innovation Resources, Inc. Roger is also the author of a new book, Create in a Flash: A Leader's Recipe for Breakthrough Innovation, in which he busts the myth that creativity, innovation, or coming up with new ideas is something laborious and that takes a lot of time and shares strategies for us to become more creative in our lives. Creativity comes into play not just in the generation of ideas but also in the selection of ideas as well. Roger explains the importance of quantity in the idea generation stage, and how to select the best ideas to move forward and develop. He shares a useful tool to use when developing ideas: Pluses, Potentials, and Concerns, and really digs in with me to demonstrate how some of his tools can be implemented. We also discuss how to get to the root and find the REAL problem to solve, instead of getting distracted by the superficial one, and how to approach skeptics and conflict in a way that is healthy for innovation. If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com Mentioned in This Episode: Corporate IQE Certification Program Roger Firestien rogerfirestien.com Create in a Flash: A Leader's Recipe for Breakthrough Innovation, by Roger Firestien Pet Rock Chia Pet “Beyond Big and Little: The Four C Model of Creativity,” by James C.

Nondelegation after Gundy — Are we Waiting for Godot?

On November 14, 2019, the Federalist Society's Administrative Law & Regulation Practice Group hosted a panel for the 2019 National Lawyers Convention at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The title of the panel was "Nondelegation after Gundy: Are We Waiting for Godot?".Contrary to the expectations of some, the U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision in Gundy v. United States did not reinvigorate the nondelegation doctrine. Instead, the Court upheld a delegation contained in the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), a 2006 law which appeared to leave it up to the Attorney General of the U.S. to decide how to apply that statute to prior offenders already in custody. However, because Justice Alito’s concurrence in the judgment expressed willingness to reconsider the Court’s approach to the doctrine and Justice Kavanaugh did not sit on this case, the Gundy decision whetted appetites for what may come in the next nondelegation case to reach the Court.This panel will examine the Court’s decision in Gundy, dissect the various viewpoints that the justices presented, and—especially—explore what those perspectives (and Justice Kavanaugh’s subsequent participation) could mean for the future of the nondelegation doctrine. The panel will address questions such as: Will the Court alter the doctrine? What would a strengthened nondelegation doctrine look like? Is there a judicially administrable way to redefine what counts as an “intelligible principle”? What would an ideal case for the Court’s consideration look like? What will happen to delegations approved under the current version of the doctrine?

They speak of free trade and exchange, comparative advantage, and market efficiency, but do these critics fundamentally mistake the pre-Trump trade policy status quo for “free trade?” Have unjust trade imbalances and foreign manipulation of trade relationships chipped away at America's economic and security well-being, meaning bold action has been needed to address it?President Trump argues that though foreign commercial discrimination, regional protectionism, and illegal commercial exploitation have chipped away at our economic and national security, our economy’s sheer size and and strength have largely insulated it from dramatic, sudden effects.

The President made a commitment to revivify sectors that have slowly atrophied over the decades, negatively impacting our culture as well as our economy.

The Game of Teams

Introduction: Sue McDonnell is an Irishwoman working in Sydney Australia. She is an Executive Coach, Team Coach, Facilitator and Energy alignment practitioner. Sue holds a degree in Sociology from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, a Postgraduate diploma in Business from University College Dublin, Ireland and she is also a qualified psychotherapist. Podcast episode summary: This episode is a fascinating listen into the life of a Practitioner who is able to be vulnerable and open and as a consequence raise the consciousness of her clients. Sue McDonnell shares her approach to team work, speaks to real issue of trauma on teams and how she helps teams heal. She discusses dialogue and how she helps teams connect their being with their doing. Sue is honest about subjects like feedback, real conversations and our capacity to be truly honest with each other. This episode is packed with stories, anecdotes and practices that are practicable. A very real conversation I hope you enjoy Show highlights: Sue shares how she was a naturally sensitive child and was almost born into facilitation She has an amazing manager in Eircom in the guise of Yvonne McWey who helped Sue really hone her passion for OD and Leadership Development Sue decided to pursue a course in psychotherapy in a guest to really understand why for her she could not work with just anyone. Journey from Head to Heart is often the longest one Sue suffered from Chronic fatigue and in her healing discovered that she was living in indecision which was tearing her. Teams often live the same way In Australia there is a cultural need to be mates. Teams often chose harmony over conflict with the shadow being that often team members are not able to have the robust and necessary conversations for change. In Australia she finds that there exists a hierarchical and deferential with respect to power in culture s Sue employs the Adaptive Leadership Approach to her team work and approach she learnt from Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linksy in the US. Their approach is to give the work back to the team and this message is essential as often teams project onto facilitators their need to be led. Sue often starts a team engagement by simply asking “where do we begin?” Upfront part of contracting is vital, and Sue conducts it with every member of the team. She is looking for the members appetite for the work, their measure of accountability and also a relationship so the work can start on a sound footing Often our work as Coaches is to raise the heat on teams so that the team can see their stuck patterns and or have the conversations that are necessary Sue is very conscious that as facilitators and as coaches we need to do the work on ourselves first. Team often have a vague idea of why they need support but often that comes by doing the work as is often the case with individual coaching Sue used to work with teams where it was not prudent or wise to call what she was doing as mindfulness or meditation, now both of those terms are ubiquitous. Today she is seeing trauma in evidence on teams and in the work place and she imagines that in 5 years' time that word will be commonplace too. Stress/Redundancies/ Fear/ are creating the conditions for the ego to be live. Competition between members is often acute. Sue works on an individual basis with team members when she is doing team coaching and as part of that work, she helps members understand their biases/beliefs/behaviours in terms of their story of origin. This then helps more mature conversations on the team. Biggest problem people have is believing their thoughts. She helps team members reframe, get curious, be conscious and she does that through skilful questioning. Sue shared some of her work on energy alignment and the practices she employs to help teams operate from a more open space. She spoke to the continuum between selfless to selfish and how she encourages members to become self-full Our work as coaches is to help team's step back, reflect and pause which can often be counterintuitive in a fast -paced world. Sue questions the veracity of feedback when she opines, we are not very self -aware or emotionally intelligent. She is keen to read a recent HBR article called feedback is flawed. Much of our work is about disruption today. She was working with a team whose purpose it was to help other organisations disrupt themselves but curiously that same team had a very high score in “pleasing” the message is clear we need to be conscious of our own drivers/biases and patterns before we can help others. Sue does use tools and she respects that many tools serve a useful purpose and for her are gateways to more powerful conversations. She uses Lominger, the Leadership Circle and Kantors dialogue model. She explained how she helps teams get confortable in the use of her models and tools What she particularly loves about Kantor's model is that for her it is practical, easy to teach and an approach that is non-judgemental but enormously helpful for teams to see their communication patterns and preferences. Often by its use Teams get comfortable in their increased appreciation for difference and the consequence is not only behavioural change but a growth in psychological safety. Quotable Quotes: “Journey from the head to the heart is often the longest” “Our role as facilitators is to first wake up” “working with teams from success to significance” “95% of people come to work to do a good job” “often our biggest problem is believing our thoughts” “there is nothing more protecting that an open heart” Resources: the following include the resources we alluded to over the course of our conversation The practice of Adaptive Leadership, Tools and tactics for changing your organisation and the world by Ronald A, Heifetz, Marty Linksky and Alexander Grahsow The Leadership Circle, a profiling tool for Leadership Development www.leadershipcircle.com Lominger Assessment Instruments and the Lominger Competency Model Kantor Institute www.kantorinstiute.com

This week’s topics include: OUR PROGRAM THIS WEEK INCLUDES . . . . . . Foundation's Set-Aside Request Approved The IRS approved a private foundation's request to set aside funds to restore a historic theater, concluding a set-aside is appropriate because the foundation's grant is part of a grant-matching program with the public charity that owns the theater. [LTR 201823010; 3/14/2018, rel. 6/8/2018 Mitigation May Apply to Allow Taxpayers to Carryback NOLs In emailed advice, the IRS concluded that mitigation could apply to allow taxpayers to carry back net operating losses to closed years when examination of an open year led to the disallowance of a carry forward of a different NOL and revealed the taxpayers’ errors in carrying forward the NOLs without making the election to waive the carryback period. [ECC 201823004; 1/19/2018, rel. 6/8/2018 S Corp Shareholder Can’t Claim FICA Tax Tip Credits The Tax Court held that a shareholder in an S corporation that operated restaurants isn't entitled to claim FICA tax tip credits under section 45B because the S corporation didn’t claim the credits for the years at issue, finding that the individual shareholder can’t unilaterally change the S corporation’s election to not claim the credits.

Memo. 2018-81; 6/12/2018] Pot Shop’s Expenses Are Not Deductible, Tax Court Says A medical marijuana dispensary can’t deduct expenses for what it claimed was a separate business unconnected to sales of the federally prohibited drug. [Alterman v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2018-83, 6/14/2018] Couple Can’t Deduct Expenses for Medical Marijuana Business The Tax Court, sustaining accuracy-related penalties, held that a couple wasn’t entitled to business expense deductions for costs they incurred in a medical marijuana business related to sale of non-marijuana merchandise and that they weren’t entitled to additional allowances for cost of goods sold beyond amounts conceded by the IRS.

One in four men over the age of 65 has urinary incontinence, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In this interview, men's health expert Ronald Morton, MD, FACS, describes how urinary incontinence is diagnosed and treated. He also provides detailed information about the key medical devices that are available to treat this condition. Approximate listening time: 14 minutes About the Interview Although urinary incontinence is not as common in men as it is in women, it is more prevalent than many people think. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four men over the age of 65 suffers from it. The underlying causes are often similar in both genders: aging and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. However, pelvic trauma or prostate disease or surgery can also contribute to the problem in men. Urinary incontinence creates significant quality-of-life issues, so finding effective treatments is very important. In this interview with urologist Ronald A. Morton, Jr., MD, FACS, Natural Medicine Journal’s publisher Karolyn A. Gazella discusses the prevailing treatment options for male urinary incontinence. For some men, pelvic floor exercises alone can provide relief. For others, diet and weight modification are necessary. Others may opt for more advanced interventions, including surgery. Surgical options range minimally invasive to extensive. On the simpler end of the spectrum is the basic urinary sling. In this quick procedure, a sling is inserted to replicate the support lost in previous interventions or trauma. On the other end of the spectrum is an artificial urinary sphincter, which regulates urine flow through a pump. Of course, surgical interventions are not without risks and side effects. Morton addresses those and discusses how to determine whether a patient is a good candidate for surgery. Listen to this interview to learn more about the current treatment options for male urinary incontinence, as well as Morton’s predictions for the future of incontinence treatment. Scroll down for the full transcript. About the Expert Ronald A. Morton, JR, MD, FACS, is the vice president of clinical sciences for the Urology and Pelvic Health division of Boston Scientific, a position that he has held since August 2015. Before joining Boston Scientific, via acquisition, Morton worked for Endo International plc as chief surgical officer, American Medical Systems. Previously, he worked for GTx, a biotech company in Memphis, TN, as chief medical officer. Prior to joining GTx, Morton was chief of urology at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and director of urologic oncology for the Cancer Institute of New Jersey. He also held an endowed chair position as director of the General Clinical Research Center. Morton holds a BA in natural sciences from The Johns Hopkins University and received his medical doctorate from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He has board certification as a diplomat, American Board of Urology. Transcript Karolyn: Hello, I'm Karolyn Gazella, the publisher of the Natural Medicine Journal. Today our topic is male urinary incontinence and my expert guest is Dr. Ronald Morton. Dr. Morton, thank you for joining me. Dr. Morton: Hi, Karolyn, and thank you for having me today. Karolyn: Well great. Well, let's just start with the basics. How is urinary incontinence diagnosed in men? Dr. Morton: Karolyn, urinary incontinence is not as common in men as it is in women, although it does happen more commonly than people think. The main causes are as it is with women, aging and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. But more importantly, and the reason for many of the interventions that we have for urinary incontinence in men is it can be due to trauma to the male pelvis and/or surgery for diseases of the prostate. When I say disease of the prostate I mean both benign conditions like BPH, which many men suffer from and are aware of, and then also prostate cancer, which is a very common cause for surgery on the male pelvis. Karolyn: And then what's considered the gold standard of treatment for this particular men's health condition? Dr. Morton: There are many ways to treat male incontinence, as there are many ways to treat female incontinence. The usual approach that will be taken by a urologist is to go from the least invasive to more invasive solutions until the patient is happy. I think that one thing that always has to be kept in mind is that this is really a quality of life issue for most men, especially since urinary incontinence in males is generally a disease of men who are older. The median age of diagnosis of prostate cancer is about 63 years of age or so. Since operations on the prostate are the common cause for this, they're generally older men and it's a quality of life issue. What one male will find satisfactory control of the urinary incontinence might be totally unsatisfactory to another. So the general approach would be to start with exercises, commonly called Kegel exercises. The same exercises that we suggest that women do who have a mild degree of urinary incontinence and see if that won't help. If Kegel exercises won't help and it's not something that can be helped with diet and weight modification, then we go into more invasive treatments for male urinary incontinence. The first level of invasion is a procedure that only takes a few minutes, really, less than a half an hour called a male urinary sling. It's much like the slings that are used in women. It supports the male urethra and holds it up, providing support that has been lost due to the previous surgical intervention or pelvic trauma in hopes that that will correct the incontinence. Fore more severe degrees of incontinence we often times need to move towards what is really considered, as you say in your question, the gold standard for severe incontinence, which is the artificial urinary sphincter [AUS]. In that procedure, a cuff is placed around the urethra and this cuff is connected to a pressure-regulating balloon, which controls pressure in the cuff, keeping the urethra closed and preventing leakage of urine and also a pump, which is placed in the scrotum. When it's time to urinate, the male can just activate the device. The fluid leaves the cuff and goes into the pressure-regulating balloon, opening the urethra. The male can then urinate and then after a period of lock-out time, the cuff will refill, returning him to a state of continence. Karolyn: So let's talk about these two, the sling and the sphincter. What determines whether or not a patient is severe enough for the sphincter versus the sling? What's the difference between those two patients, the one that gets the sling and the one that gets the sphincter? Dr. Morton: Good question because again, it has a lot to do with personal preference. But there are some general guidelines that one can go by. When we measure incontinence and it can be a difficult thing to put a number on, but most men who have incontinence will use urinary pads in their shorts in order to trap urine leaking. A good gauge of to what degree a male leaks is how many times they have to change that pad. Now, some men will as soon as there's a small amount of urine because of the discomfort it will cause will change that pad right away. Some men tend to allow the pad to get very, very soaked before they'll change it. Everyone behaves a little bit differently. A way to get a handle on exactly how much leakage a man has it to do what we call the pad weight test. So we'll give them all the pads that they might need for a day and a bag that can prevent evaporation and they just collect the pads that they use for the day, put it in this bag, and everything is pre weighed, and then we weigh it to see what the volume of urine leakage is. A rule of thumb, if they're leaking around five pads or 300cc of urine a day, that's severe and is more likely to be treated with the artificial urinary sphincter. Degrees of urinary leakage that are less than that can be and generally might be recommended that they be treated with the sling procedure. Karolyn: Now are there are any contraindications associated with each of these options, the sling or the sphincter? So in other words, are there men who would not be a good candidate for either of these options? Dr. Morton: Well, they have to be able to undergo a surgical procedure, and while the sling procedure is relatively short, it does require at least a regional anesthetic. The artificial urinary sphincter procedure is a little bit longer and requires a general anesthetic so they have to be fit for the surgery. The sling is generally not recommended for men if they have been treated for prostate cancer with radiation. The outcomes there haven't been as good as they have been with the artificial urinary sphincter so in that setting we generally would recommend a sphincter as opposed to a sling, even if they were otherwise a good candidate for a sling. Karolyn: What about side effects? Are there any side effects associated with either of these devices? Dr. Morton: I'll take that question separately for each of the two devices. The side effects associated with the sling are that if you don't choose the patient in the best way, two things can happen. One, the patient can not have their incontinence adequately treated. A second issue is if you put a sling in a patient whose major problem is not one of the urethra but is a bladder issue, and that can be sorted out ahead of time with uro dynamics, but if you did you may render that patient obstructed or in urinary retention. The problem doesn't have to do with external sphincter deficiency for that patient. For the artificial urinary sphincter what we're doing is we're placing this cuff around the urethra. It does over time potentially compromise some of the blood supply to the urethra in that area and you can get what's known as atrophy of the urethra in the area of the cuff. When you get atrophy in the area of the cuff there can be a return to urinary incontinence. Of course for both of these procedures, since you're putting a foreign body in, there's a risk of infection, although infectious problems with these devices have been relatively low. Karolyn: Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Now, I'm just curious because you have a certain expertise in this area as chief surgical officer of American Medical Systems. What general advice do you give to physicians who are treating men with urinary incontinence? Dr. Morton: One, most of the advice that I have is for physicians who have men with incontinence but aren't necessarily the experts in treating them. There's a couple of things. One of the things that our research has shown us is that many men who are subjected to surgery for prostate cancer, for example, and who then suffer from incontinence don't recognize, or aren't made aware that there are treatments for it and they suffer in silence we like to say. So, if we can get anything out to the many physicians listening to this podcast it would be don't let this happen to any of your patients. Make sure they understand that if they do get incontinence after, for example, radical prostatectomy, there are options and there are potential solutions for this. The second message is I spend a lot of time working with the engineers and we're constantly looking at ways to come up with a better mouse trap if you will. What can we do to avoid the complications we spoke of earlier? What can we do to help physicians identify the proper patients so we don't use a sling in a patient who should've had an AUS, or an AUS in a patient who should've had a sling? And what can we do to make the functioning of the AUS a little bit easier so that in this elderly population of men they are always candidates for the device? Karolyn: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense and I'm glad that you brought that up about suffering in silence and information. Obviously, a well-informed patient is the best patient to have. So letting that patient know his options is absolutely critical. So one final question for you Dr. Morton. What is on the horizon when it comes to devices for this particular issue with men? Do you see existing devices just being improved? Do you see new devices? Are we kind of where we should be? Look into your crystal ball and tell me what the future holds for this. Dr. Morton: I don't know if I'm the best person to predict the future, but I think that our efforts are to make sure that A, these are the right solutions. We are constantly looking at, are there other options? Are there other ways to manage urinary incontinence? Could we come up with a less invasive way to place the sling or a less invasive device would replicate the great performance of a sling? On the urinary sphincter side of things it's a mechanical device, so can we simplify that mechanism so that it's easier for the patient to implement? Remember there's a patient interface with the AUS. Most devices that we implant, like when a cardiologist implants a pacemaker, there's no patient interface. The patient doesn't have to decide whether or not their pacemakers work. It's in and it just works. For our device, at least for the artificial urinary sphincter, there's that patient interface. So if we can improve that patient interface with the device and make it as reliable as possible, that's what we're looking to do in order to improve the overall performance of the device and have men have a greater satisfaction with their quality of life. Karolyn: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Well, this has been very informative. Once again, thank you, Dr. Morton, for joining me today. Dr. Morton: Karolyn, thank you for having me. Karolyn: Have a great day.

The United States has a complicated history when it comes to ideas of empire and imperialism. Since it’s earliest days, the United States has wanted the power that came with being an empire even while declaring its distaste for them. Therefore, it should not be surprising that the man who drafted the Declaration of Independence, which severed the 13 American colonies’ ties to the most powerful empire in the mid-to-late 18th-century world, also had strong views about empire: Thomas Jefferson wanted the United States to become a great and vast “Empire of Liberty.” Frank Cogliano, a Professor of American History at the University of Edinburgh and author of Emperor of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson’s Foreign Policy, joins us to explore how Thomas Jefferson came to be a supporter and promoter of empires.

Overlapping jurisdiction of federal regulatory agencies can lead to confusion and sometimes even contradictory requirements for private actors, and turf battles among agencies. Further, questions arise about the legitimacy of regulations promulgated by an agency that does not appear to have primary responsibility for an area, when the agency that has that primary responsibility has failed or declined to act. Among the myriad items in the 2016 omnibus appropriations bill were two curious provisions: a prohibition on the Internal Revenue Service from spending funds to write new regulations governing 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, and a prohibition on the Securities and Exchange Commission from spending funds to write regulations that would require companies to report political contributions and donations to tax exempt organizations. Both edicts are responses to intense advocacy for these agencies to undertake the respective rulemakings, following refusal by the Federal Election Commission to expand disclosure. Moreover, advocates of campaign finance regulation continue to seek new political regulations at the Federal Communications Commission and for the Department of Justice to undertake broader inquiries. As a whole, one might call these efforts “administrative hopscotch”—seeking regulation or enforcement from an agency when another with unequivocal jurisdiction refuses to act. Is expanding the jurisdictions of federal agencies to such extent that they may regulate the same activity a constitutional problem? Practically speaking, what does this mean for innovators when they must comply with repetitive or diverse red tape? Furthermore, what happens when the regulations conflict, as already seen between certain IRS and FEC provisions? -- Ideally, this panel would feature former commissioners from executive agencies who have faced these efforts. They could briefly discuss what they considered the appropriate regulatory purview of their agency, their thoughts on administrative overlap, and whether or not administrative hopscotch is a real problem. The FEC circumvention is ongoing and intense, with media scrutiny and support of hopscotch by its more active commissioners.
