Pool Pros text questions hereIn this episode of the Talking Pools podcast, host Kelly welcomes Matt Reither, the chairman of the PHTA Service Council, to discuss the vital role of the council in educating pool service professionals. They delve into common pool problems, emphasizing that many issues stem from design flaws rather than chemistry or service errors. Matt highlights the importance of understanding how components such as pumps, filters, and sanitizers interact to effectively diagnose and resolve these issues. As the discussion progresses, they explore the evolving landscape of pool technology, including variable speed pumps and the need for updated training materials. Matt shares insights on route management strategies to enhance operational efficiency and employee morale, emphasizing the importance of structured routes to reduce burnout among service technicians. The episode concludes with a call to action for industry professionals to engage with educational resources and stay informed about best practices, ultimately aiming to improve the perception and professionalism of the pool service industry.takeawaysMost pool problems are design issues, not chemistry.Education boosts efficiency and reduces job time.Proper pump sizing is crucial for system performance.Route management can reduce employee burnout.Continuous education is key to professionalizing the industry.Sound Bites"No myths, no guesswork, just knowledge.""A focused approach to swimming pool route management.""It's pump sizing and hydraulics that decides whether water behaves or rebels."

Send us a textTwo beers, two moods, and one very honest split. We crack a Masthead Midwest Red IPA expecting a hint of caramel, only to be met with a grapefruit surge and a stubborn bitter finish that divides our panel. One of us gets a sharp, almost chemical edge and heavy carbonation; the other appreciates the hop punch and rides with it. If you've ever argued over an IPA at the table, you'll feel seen here, especially when we unpack how “red” sets malt expectations that “IPA” promptly bulldozes.Then we reset with a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Toasted Stout that eases in hot and settles into something rich and balanced. Oak, vanilla, a touch of marshmallow, and that warm bourbon finish deliver the kind of slow-sipper that makes sense on a cold night. We both land at 8 and talk through why “toasted” reads smoother than some barrel-aged bruisers. It's bold at 10% ABV without turning into syrup, and it pairs perfectly with stories about winter commutes, snow berms at the end of the driveway, and the simple victory of getting home for a well-earned pour.Between tastes, we veer into real life: salt shortages near a giant lake salt mine, whiteout clippers that follow you on Route 6, and a Queen tribute in a velvet-seat theater where you can actually sit, snack, and sing. That's the bigger theme—context flavors everything. Stress can make a bitter IPA feel harsher; a warm stout can feel like a blanket. Come for the tasting notes, stay for the banter, and leave with a short list of what to buy for your next storm night.If you enjoy candid beer reviews, subscribe on YouTube, follow along on your favorite podcast app, and drop your own scores.

My guest today is someone who is no stranger to the front of the field. A perennial podium finisher as a professional mountain biker, and over the past decade-plus one of the most accomplished ultra-endurance cyclists on the planet, he has first-place finishes at the Tour Divide, AZT, CTR, and many many more. The truth is, I'd need to create an entirely new podcast series to fully unpack the range, depth, and longevity of his career as a lifelong cyclist. For that reason, he's a man who truly needs no introduction: Kurt Refsnider. Most recently, Kurt became the first person to ride the 5,000-plus-mile Orogenesis Route -- a project more than a decade in the making, shaped by many contributors over the years. Like the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, the Orogenesis Route traverses North America from the Canadian border to the Mexican border, but it instead features as much singletrack as they can pack in - 50% of the route is singletrack. And when it reaches the border, the route doesn't stop. It intercepts and continues down the Baja Divide, one of the most iconic bikepacking routes in the world. This was no small undertaking. Not only was this Kurt's biggest bikepacking trip to date, but he was also the first person to put bike tires on large portions of the route—sections that had only been scouted digitally and pieced together through community knowledge. Inevitably, that meant running into real roadblocks. This wasn't just a bikepacking trip; it was a true bike adventure. I can think of no one more qualified to take on a project of this scale, both physically and mentally, than Kurt. It was an absolute pleasure to have him back on the podcast. He's a true OG and a legend in the sport for very good reason. And beyond all the accolades, he's simply a genuinely kind and thoughtful human being.

In this power-packed episode, we go behind the scenes of Tony Robbins' renowned "Date with Destiny" event to explore how our internal values and rules dictate our reality.  From categorising "Toward" and "Away" values to auditing the rigid rules we set for our own success, this discussion challenges you to design a life by choice rather than by default. We also dive into the "Relationship Pyramid" and the psychological nuances between masculine and feminine energies, providing a roadmap for creating deeper intimacy and more fulfilling connections in every area of life. You'll Learn Why: Your "Toward" and "Away" values are the invisible drivers of your behaviour, and how ranking them can reveal why you feel fulfilled or frustrated. Setting rigid rules for success can lead to constant unhappiness, and why your values should be easy to achieve every single day while your goals remain a stretch. The "Relationship Pyramid" is the secret to moving from a roommate dynamic to being fans of your partner through anticipation and fulfilment of needs. Understanding the psychological "Nothing Box" and "Connected Wire" brains can bridge the communication gap between masculine and feminine energies. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Wake up! It's the year 2000 - you remember the year 2000, right? In those days, almost no one had a cell phone and the millennials that were in middle and high school at the time spent their days watching old CRT monitors, hanging out in arcades, wandering the mall after school, or murdering vampires with a pocket knife! Yeah, those were wild times back then... Kids just roamed freely, getting trapped in hotels full of zombified beasts and hanging around True Ancestors while their families wondered where they were at. In hindsight, perhaps it wasn't all so idyllic as we remember, given the grievous injuries and traumatic memory loss, but just thinking back on it fills you with nostalgia. Let's return, for just a little while, to that time...This month, Sara and Runa make good on their previous threats and read the Arcueid Route in the original version of Tsukihime (2000)! As one of the earliest  VNs covered on the podcast, it's not only an excellent period piece in its own right but also shows just how much the VN development space, and Type-Moon as a studio, has changed in the last quarter century. From different minor antagonists to tonal shifts and drastic changes in scene and character dynamics, the original Tsukihime gives players a much different experience than the remake. Is that for better? For worse? Through playing the original Arcueid route, we compare the romance between Shiki and Arcueid, the plot beats and character arcs, and the overall feel of both versions of Tsukihime and discuss the challenges and benefits of remaking such a seminal classic of the genre. As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

In this episode of the On Track Podcast, Marketing & Communications Lead Sebastian Bennage is joined by Superintendents Adam Tenan and Jake Stevens in the Flywheel Studio to talk through two Maine projects that highlight pre-planning, steady production, and a focus on safety. The conversation dives into Jake's Lewiston Redundant Water Line, a 13,000-foot transfer line from Lake Auburn built to strengthen Lewiston's water supply, including tight work zones along the river, stream crossing windows, ledge removal without blasting, and the teamwork it took to deliver the job with zero injuries. Adam then breaks down the Route 1 Millbridge-to-Cherryfield reconstruction, sharing how careful sequencing, breaking the job into sections, and staying ahead of in-water work windows helped keep the project moving and set the crew up for success, while also developing younger leaders along the way.If you liked this week's episode and are interested in becoming an Employee-Owner at Sargent, please visit our careers page on the Sargent website. https://sargent.us/apply/If you have an episode suggestion, please send your idea to:sbennage@sargent.us

Summary  A "raise" isn't just more income  it's more control. This episode breaks down how to build an income engine so your lifestyle isn't dependent on one stream of earned income. The focus is practical: stabilize cash flow, redirect leaks, and convert surplus into a repeatable system that produces results. What You'll Learn -The difference between more income and more usable income. -Why most people don't need a raise  they need an engine. -How to design a simple system that turns surplus cash into momentum. -What to measure weekly so the engine actually grows. Core Framework (simple + memorable) Find it: Identify leaks and wasted transfers (interest, taxes, fees, inefficiency). Free it: Restructure cash flow so you create surplus on purpose. Fund it: Route surplus into a controllable "engine" (liquidity + strategy). Flip it: Use that engine to create more income (assets, business growth, opportunity funding). Practical Action Steps 1.Pick one "pay raise lever" you can pull in the next 7 days: -Cut one recurring leak -Raise pricing / renegotiate a contract -Reduce debt drag (interest payments) -Build a controlled reserve you can deploy 2.Set a weekly target for: -Cash captured -Cash kept (after leaks) -Cash deployed into the engine 3.Repeat weekly until the engine becomes predictable. - Who This Is For -High earners who still feel behind -Business owners with inconsistent cash flow -Anyone trying to escape "one-income dependency"   Episode Highlights 00:00:11 - Building wealth the smart way. 00:00:28 - Money For Life process overview. 01:14:18 - Earn it: Turning income into a cash engine. 02:01:57 - Four steps: Control your finances. 03:13:41 - Product-based income paradigm. 04:26:36 - Financial planning requires finances. 06:13:41 - Earn more money through efficiency. 07:33:46 - Find and create opportunities for income. 09:17:59 - Passive and asset-based income insights. 10:56:10 - Unique ability: What comes easy to you? 12:22:32 - Finding margin for debt freedom. 13:00:37 - Shift your mindset to maximize wealth. 14:31:01 - Focus on cashflow rather than rates of return. 16:10:53 - The significance of starting lean. 18:47:21 - Challenge traditional financial paradigms. 19:28:06 - Create your own raise through side business. 20:15:05 - Importance of financial literacy and action.   Episode Resources Take your scorecard/assessment and we'll map out the fastest path to build your income engine. https://curtis-wbwb4naf.scoreapp.com   Keywords The Practical Wealth Show   Curtis May   building wealth   cash flow control   infinite banking   principles based planning   Money For Life   Jeffrey Reed   dividend-paying whole life insurance   Nelson Nash   financial chaos to control   cash flow engines   income engine   increase your income   cashflow mapping   profit first   private reserve strategy   debt paradigm   passive income   asset-based income   Government   personal economy   accurate thinking   multiple income streams   asset-based investments   tax strategies   side business ideas   freelance writing   tutoring   online business   AI integration   entrepreneurship   consulting or coaching   real estate investment   debt snowball   financial education   tax reduction tools   financial freedom   business development   financial planning   wealth legacy  

Season 5, Episode 37 - We're taking a meaningful detour from our usual focus on tourism, outdoor adventures, and the incredible people who make the Poconos what it is. Because in Pike County — a place where the vistas are stunning and the communities are tight‑knit — one thing has been missing for far too long: accessible healthcare.Northwell Health has opened its very first physician partners facility right in Dingmans Ferry, with another location set to open soon in Hawley along Route 6 near the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center. The Poconos is a year-round destination for millions and with 24-hundred square miles of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers with historic downtowns and iconic family resorts, it's the perfect getaway for a weekend or an entire week.

Today we have 4 different individuals join us from North Dakota with yet another display of taking land away from individuals without any degree of transparency.

Ryan Debenham, CEO of Grin, shares his unconventional journey from software engineer to leading a nearly billion-dollar creator management platform. In this candid conversation, Ryan reveals how he "accidentally" became a CEO by following challenges rather than titles, and why that mindset shift transformed how he builds products and companies.He discusses the critical disconnect between engineering and go-to-market teams, the revolutionary potential of AI agents in influencer marketing, and why democratizing influence could unlock a massive untapped market. Ryan also shares insights from his time at Qualtrics (acquired by SAP for $8B) and Route, offering practical wisdom on connecting product teams to revenue outcomes and building AI that feels "alive."Key Takeaways[4:30] - The Accidental CEO Path: Ryan explains how becoming a CEO was never his plan—he loved building products but never built companies around them. His career evolved by chasing challenges rather than titles or money.[10:30] - The Product-to-Company Graveyard: Ryan candidly shares how his early product ideas (including a ride-sharing concept 20 years ago and a photo categorization tool) died because he focused only on building, not on solving the hard business problems.[12:15] - The Mindset Shift: The biggest change from engineering to CEO? When revenue numbers became Ryan's responsibility, he finally understood what customers truly needed—not just what they said they wanted.[14:30] - Breaking Down Silos: Ryan discusses why the tension between product, engineering, marketing, and sales "will kill the business" and how he's connecting these departments at the hip.[19:30] - The Qualtrics Lesson: A powerful story about spending six months building the wrong text analytics product at Qualtrics, despite sitting next to customers repeatedly. The lesson: understanding business needs requires deeper connection than just listening to feature requests.[26:00] - AI as Electricity: Ryan's compelling analogy comparing LLMs to the development of electricity and CPUs—powerful building blocks that are worthless alone but transformational when paired with the right infrastructure.[28:30] - Mandatory AI Adoption: Ryan required all engineers at Grin to use AI coding tools. One engineer quit over the pressure but came back, realizing it was a mistake. His prediction: in a few years, you won't get hired as an engineer if you don't know AI tools.[32:00] - Building Software That's "Alive": Ryan describes Gia, Grin's AI agent that journals daily, runs standups with other agents, creates action items, and can discuss what she's learning and what features should be built next.[35:00] - The Influencer Marketing Problem: Why Grin's growth stalled—aspirational customers bought the software but failed at influencer marketing because the operational complexity was too high, leading to churn.[38:30] - The Two-Sided Platform Gap: Most influencer platforms built for merchants and forgot creators. Ryan explains why supporting creators is the most important part of the solution.[44:30] - Democratizing Influence: Ryan's vision that "everybody is an influencer"—the real opportunity is capturing and rewarding the micro-influence that happens in everyday conversations between millions of people.[49:00] - The Collision Course: Why affiliate marketing and influencer marketing are merging into something new—it's all about capturing word-of-mouth at different scales.Tweetable...

Brianna Maitland was 17-years-old when she disappeared from Montgomery, Vermont on the night of March 19, 2004. After spending part of the day shopping with her mother, during which Brianna briefly became visibly shaken for unexplained reasons, she went to work her evening shift as a dishwasher at the Black Lantern Inn. She finished work around 11:20 p.m. and left alone in her car, telling coworkers she planned to go home and rest before working the next day. The following afternoon, Brianna's green 1985 Oldsmobile was found abandoned along Route 118 near Richford, Vermont, backed into an old, vacant building. Brianna was not at the scene, and her personal belongings—including money, her ATM card, glasses, and medication—were left inside the vehicle, indicating she likely did not leave voluntarily. Brianna's disappearance remains unsolved. Her family, particularly her father, Bruce Maitland, has continued to advocate for answers through private investigators, public awareness efforts, and the nonprofit Private Investigations for the Missing. Despite renewed attention, FBI involvement, and a standing reward for information, no definitive explanation for what happened to Brianna Maitland has ever been confirmed. If you have any information concerning Brianna's case, please contact the FBI's Toll-Free Tipline at 1-800-225-5324 or the Vermont State Police Tipline at 1-844-848-8477. You may also contact your local FBI office, or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $40,000 for information leading to the recovery of Brianna.

Leila Philip explains how John Jacob Astor founded America's first multi-millionaire fortune by overhearing traders discuss the massive profit margins on beaver fur. Astor leveraged the Lewis and Clark expedition to establish global trade routes, utilizing beaver pelts—which functioned as a literal currency—to jumpstart American capitalism before the species was nearly wiped out.

College today can easily cost six figures — even at public universities — and yet so many families still feel completely in the dark about how to prepare for it without sacrificing their own financial future.My guest today knows this stress intimately.Patricia Roberts grew up in a low-income household and nearly didn't attend college at all. A guidance counselor once suggested she stick with her waitressing job instead. But she pushed forward, working multiple jobs, sending money home, earning not just one degree, but eventually a law degree. That education changed her family's life… but it also came with over $100,000 in student loan debt that took two decades to repay.That lived experience is what fuels Patricia's passion today. She's spent more than 25 years working with 529 college savings plans — from helping launch some of the earliest plans at Citigroup to advising families and employers on how to use them smarter, earlier, and with far less fear.In this episode, we break down what 529 plans really are — and what they're not. We tackle the biggest myths, from “What if my kid doesn't go to college?” to “Will this hurt financial aid?” to “Is college even worth it anymore?” We also dig into major new changes that make 529s far more flexible than most people realize — including using them for trade schools, certifications, student loan repayment, K-12 expenses, and even rolling unused funds into a Roth IRA.More about Patricia: She is Chief Operating Officer of Gift of College, Inc., where she helps employers improve employees' financial well-being by offering student loan repayment assistance and matching contributions to 529 college savings and ABLE (disability savings) accounts.Patricia is also the author of Route 529: A Parent's Guide to Saving for College and Career Training with 529 Plans, a book she wrote with some extra time on her hands during the pandemic to help educate and inspire even more parents.

The brutal crackdown on protesters killing tens of thousands has been a "sledgehammer" to Iranians everywhere, said Dr. Meir Javedanfar, an Israeli-Iranian expert on the government led by Ayatollah Ali Khameini. "The people of Iran have just gone through their own Babi Yar massacre," Javedanfar said on the Haaretz Podcast, referring to the largest single mass-killing during the Holocaust. "The Nazis killed 30,000 people in the space of two days. The Iranian regime – if we accept the 30,000 number – has done the same in less than a month. … The level of cruelty is unlike anything Iranians have seen before. The people of Iran are being massacred in unprecedented and historic numbers." The killings in the decade-long Syrian civil war was a laboratory for Iranian techniques of repression, he said, noting that Iranian leaders were often "disappointed when Bashar al-Assad was not violent enough against the people of Syria when they rose up." In Syria, he said, the Iranians "honed their skills" of deadly repression and are now using them "against their own people on the streets of Iran." On the question of whether a U.S. attack on Iran could be averted by a change of heart by the regime, bringing them to the negotiating table, Javedanfar said he sees no chance of concessions unless Khamenei believes that "the Americans could kill him and his family." If the U.S. attacks and Iran retaliates against Israel, he noted, the Israeli military will quickly join in the attack. "If the Iranian regime makes a mistake of attacking us, we have very genuine targets in Iran to attack, especially Iran's missile program," Javedanfar said, adding "I also hope Israel targets regime officials who are taking part in the oppression and suppression of the people of Iran in such a violent manner, I think that would hold Israel in very good stead in future history books of Iran."

Nick Temple returns to discuss how Social Investment Business has evolved from a specialist social lender into a major player in grant delivery, programme management, and impact-driven finance across the UK. At the heart of the conversation is what it takes to turn strategy into action. Nick reflects on the realities of running large-scale, complex programmes, the importance of pace in a turbulent landscape, and how data can be used not just to improve delivery but to shape wider sector thinking. What you'll hear in this episode A refresher on Social Investment Business today: a charity and social investor providing loans to charities and social enterprises, alongside managing large grants and business support programmes. The Youth Investment Fund at scale: delivery of a £300m capital grants programme to build and renovate more than 270 youth centres in some of the UK's most deprived communities, supporting tens of thousands of young people. Why community buildings are a hidden energy challenge: how poor energy efficiency in community assets drives up costs and squeezes frontline budgets, especially in disadvantaged areas. Energy resilience in practice: support for measures such as solar, insulation, lighting upgrades and other practical interventions that reduce bills while delivering carbon benefits. How AI is already changing delivery: early use cases such as processing grant monitoring receipts, strengthening risk assessments and due diligence, and exploring what “relationship management” could look like in an AI-enabled future. What “strategic opportunism” really means: balancing clear strategic priorities with the ability to respond quickly to tenders, partnerships and emerging needs in a fast-changing environment. What the organisation wants next: a forward-looking focus on the green transition, community assets, and public service transformation, alongside an ambition to reach £1bn in grants and loans deployed by 2030. Who they want to hear from: ambitious, capable charities and social enterprises with a track record and appetite to deliver, plus more action-oriented impact investors, including endowments and family offices. Nick's career path: from an English degree and early charity work to social enterprise leadership, and why diligence, kindness, and delivering quality work matter more than a perfect plan. Key themes Community assets as a lever for impact Buildings are not just infrastructure, they are platforms for services, connection and opportunity. Improving the resilience and running costs of those assets can unlock more mission delivery. Efficiency and scale From AI-enabled back-office processes to large capital programmes, Nick argues that execution quality and speed are becoming non-negotiable for organisations trying to meet urgent social and environmental needs. Action over noise A recurring message is to focus on what can be changed through practical delivery, strong teams, and clear decision-making, even when the wider landscape feels uncertain.

A Conversation About Infrastructure, Innovation, and Community Input The Shenandoah Valley's roadways are undergoing a massive transformation. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Ken Slack, Communications Specialist for VDOT's Staunton District, to discuss the ambitious construction projects reshaping how residents travel through the region. What emerged was a fascinating look at the complex planning, engineering challenges, and community collaboration required to modernize aging infrastructure. Tackling the 81 Corridor's Toughest Stretch The conversation began with one of the most challenging sections of Interstate 81: the Strasburg corridor between exits 296 and 300. This area stands out as one of the few places along the entire interstate—from the West Virginia line to Tennessee—that features a left-hand exit for southbound traffic. Ken explains that this unusual configuration, combined with the junction of two major interstates, creates significant safety and congestion issues. Currently, the project sits at approximately 25-30% completion, with about a year of construction already completed and two and a half years remaining. The scope involves widening four miles of interstate from two lanes to three in each direction, while simultaneously addressing critical infrastructure needs. Workers are replacing the southbound bridge over Cedar Creek at the Warren-Shenandoah County line and widening the southbound bridge over the CSX railway. However, bridge work presents unique challenges. As Ken points out, VDOT could build bridges much faster if they could simply close them to traffic. Instead, contractors must maintain two lanes in each direction during peak hours, relegating most construction work to nighttime and overnight hours. This careful choreography ensures traffic keeps flowing while progress continues beneath the surface. The Science Behind the Projects VDOT doesn't randomly select improvement projects based on complaint volume or accident counts. Instead, the agency relies on comprehensive data analysis and community engagement. The 2018 Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Program study exemplifies this approach. Throughout that year, VDOT collected extensive traffic data, examining crash rates, crash severity, backup frequency, and person-hours of delay—what Ken jokingly calls "VDOT nerdism." Moreover, the agency conducted multiple public input sessions during spring, summer, and fall. These meetings served a dual purpose: presenting data-driven hotspot maps while gathering firsthand experiences from daily commuters and long-haul truckers. This collaborative approach identified 65 initial projects ranging from small-scale improvements like extending acceleration ramps to major widening initiatives now underway in Strasburg, Harrisonburg, and Winchester. Importantly, VDOT's planning doesn't stop with current projects. A 2025 study has already identified the next round of priorities, ensuring continuous improvement rather than simply completing the current list and moving on. Front Royal's South Street Gets Attention Meanwhile, in Front Royal, VDOT is addressing traffic flow issues along South Street near the Royal Plaza Shopping Center. The problem area centers on the intersection where Commerce Avenue meets South Street, particularly affecting drivers who turn right from Route 340 onto South Street and immediately need to turn left into the shopping center. The limited space creates backups that extend toward the main intersection, prompting VDOT to explore solutions. Should the entrance move to the next intersection? Can the current configuration be modified to improve safety and reduce congestion? These questions drove VDOT to hold a public hearing on January 14th at the Front Royal library. Ken emphasizes that VDOT brings plans that look good on paper but remain open to revision based on community feedback. Several dozen residents attended the meeting, expressing support for some elements while raising concerns about others. This input proves invaluable, as local residents often identify issues that traffic studies conducted on specific days might miss—like Janet's example of the radio station's Camping for Hunger event, which creates unique traffic patterns. Furthermore, VDOT must coordinate with property owners whose businesses depend on customer access. Changes to South Street directly impact how patrons reach the Royal Plaza Shopping Center, making collaboration with property owners essential to the project's success. A Bridge Too Big to Ignore Perhaps the most ambitious project on the horizon involves replacing the bridge over Interstate 81 near Winchester, where Millwood Avenue curves toward its intersection with Route 522. This aging structure, which has stood for at least 50 years, currently spans seven lanes. The replacement will accommodate nine lanes, creating what Ken describes as an "enormous" structure. The project actually combines two separate initiatives: improvements within Winchester city limits and the bridge replacement itself. VDOT assumed responsibility for both projects to ensure coordination and prevent conflicting work zones. By building the new bridge slightly to the north, contractors can maintain traffic flow during construction rather than narrowing the roadway to one lane in each direction—a scenario Ken jokes would have residents "running away from the pitchforks." This bridge exemplifies a broader challenge facing Interstate 81. Since most of the corridor was constructed between the late 1950s and 1960s, numerous bridges now range from 50 to 70 years old. While VDOT's vigorous maintenance program extends their lifespan, every bridge eventually requires replacement or significant rehabilitation. The agency evaluates each structure individually, determining whether full replacement or widening with superstructure rehabilitation makes more sense. Weather, Incentives, and Reality Construction timelines must account for weather impacts, particularly during multi-year projects spanning several winters. Ken acknowledges that major snowstorms or tropical systems can shut down work for a week or more. Nevertheless, VDOT has refined its contract documents over decades to accurately predict workable days throughout the year. Additionally, the agency builds incentives into contracts, particularly for projects with significant traffic impacts. The recently completed Rockland Road bridge project demonstrates this approach's success. The contractor finished ahead of schedule, earning maximum incentive payments. Ken notes that VDOT happily writes these checks because early completion benefits the entire community. Conversely, contracts also include penalties for late completion, creating a balanced system that motivates timely project delivery while accounting for legitimate weather delays. Keeping the Public Informed Throughout the conversation, Janet praised VDOT's website, which maintains detailed project pages for dozens of active initiatives. These pages track projects from early design stages through construction completion, providing timelines, cost projections, public hearing information, and opportunities for feedback. Ken explains that his team dedicates considerable effort to keeping these pages current. Residents can easily find relevant projects by searching "VDOT projects" and selecting the Staunton District, which covers Warren, Frederick, and surrounding counties. The site even includes construction photos showing progress over time. Janet shared her own experience using the website to research the Winchester bridge project after noticing construction activity. Within minutes, she found comprehensive information about plans and timelines, allowing her to plan alternative routes during future construction phases. Your Voice Matters Beyond the website, VDOT operates a 24/7 customer service center staffed by real people who typically answer within seconds. Ken dispels common misconceptions about endless hold times or automated systems. When residents report potholes, sight distance issues, or other concerns, the center generates work orders requiring action from appropriate teams. While not every reported issue results in immediate fixes—some investigations reveal no problem or explain why certain actions aren't feasible—every request receives attention and follow-up. VDOT even contacts property owners when vegetation or structures impede sight distance or extend into the right-of-way, working collaboratively to find solutions that ensure everyone's safety. Looking Ahead As the conversation concluded, both Janet and Ken acknowledged the uncertainty of winter weather—they were recording on a Tuesday afternoon with potential snow in the forecast for the following days. Yet this uncertainty mirrors the broader challenge of infrastructure improvement: balancing immediate needs with long-term planning, maintaining traffic flow during construction, and incorporating community input into data-driven decisions. The projects discussed represent just a fraction of VDOT's ongoing work across the Shenandoah Valley. From the complex Interstate 81 widening near Strasburg to the South Street improvements in Front Royal and the massive bridge replacement near Winchester, these initiatives share common threads: careful planning, public engagement, and commitment to improving safety and reducing congestion. For Valley residents, these projects mean temporary inconvenience in exchange for long-term benefits. The key lies in staying informed through VDOT's project pages, participating in public hearings, and understanding that today's construction zones become tomorrow's safer, more efficient roadways. As Ken reminds listeners, VDOT isn't just completing a checklist—they're continuously identifying and addressing the next generation of infrastructure needs, ensuring the Valley's roads serve the community for decades to come.

On this episode of Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their Pixar 2000s miniseries by finally pulling into Radiator Springs to talk Cars with critic and scholar Myles McNutt.Often dismissed as “the lesser Pixar,” Cars is also one of the studio's most commercially dominant films and one of its strangest cultural phenomena. The trio digs into why this movie connected so deeply with kids, how Disney merchandising helped shape its legacy, and why Cars feels philosophically out of step with Pixar's more emotionally precise storytelling. They also explore the film's obsession with nostalgia, small-town Americana, Route 66 iconography, and the uneasy politics lurking under its warm glow.Along the way, they discuss Pixar's evolving reputation, the film's place in the studio's broader lineage, Cars Land as a theme-park response to Harry Potter, and why even if it's flawed Cars might still be essential viewing to understand Pixar's 2000s run.Ka-chow!Follow us:Guest: Myles McNutt @Memles on instagram and X and SubtackPatreon: http://patreon.com/PodcastlikeitsTwitter: http://twitter.com/podcastlikeitsInstagram: http://instagram.com/podcastlikeits Hosted on Acast.

In der Nacht auf den 19. Januar 2025 starb Kerstin G. auf Österreichs höchstem Berg – sie erfror rund 50 Meter unter dem Gipfel. Mit ihrem Partner wollte sie hinauf. Er schaffte es zurück ins Tal. Thomas P. muss sich nun wegen grob fahrlässiger Tötung vor dem Landesgericht Innsbruck verantworten. Die Anklage wirft ihm vor, mehrere Fehler bei der Tour gemacht zu haben. Im Fall einer Verurteilung drohen bis zu drei Jahre Haft. Thomas P. bekennt sich nicht schuldig. Es gilt die Unschuldsvermutung. Der Fall beschäftigt nicht nur das Gericht, sondern wirft grundsätzliche Fragen auf: Wie sieht Verantwortung am Berg aus? Und wie wird eine Tour ins schöne Gebirge zu einer lebensgefährlichen Situation – aus der es kein Zurück mehr gibt? Unsere Kollegen Gerhard Pfeil und Jonas Kraus vom SPIEGEL haben monatelang recherchiert und sind dafür Teile der Route am Großglockner nachgegangen. In dieser Mini-Serie von »Inside Austria« rekonstruieren wir den Fall gemeinsam mit unseren Kollegen. Dabei stehen nicht Schuld oder Unschuld im Zentrum, sondern die Frage, wie Entscheidungen, Erfahrung und Risiko am Berg zusammenwirken.

A new OC with familiar roots The Detroit Lions hired Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator. The hire ties Detroit to the Kevin Stefanski tree and a system built on timing and detail. Petzing coached tight ends in Cleveland in 2020 and 2021. Those Browns made the playoffs and won a playoff game for the first time in more than thirty years. His Cleveland work stands out. Petzing helped turn David Njoku from a talented but inconsistent former first rounder into a much better pro. The improvement started with focus. Route depths got precise. A nine-yard out was nine yards, not seven or ten. The blocking jumped too. Njoku became a Pro Bowl caliber tight end. Harrison Bryant arrived as a glorified big wideout and improved as a blocker and in the finer points of spacing. The common thread was attention to detail. Scheme overlap that fits Detroit Petzing comes from the Stefanski offense that traces back through Minnesota and the Norv Turner and Shanahan Kubiak family of ideas. It is a timing and precision attack. It aims for yards after the catch and hits weak points. It mixes in deep shots from base looks. That is also the foundation Ben Johnson used in Detroit. The language changes, but the structure aligns. In Cleveland, the core pieces were Nick Chubb at running back, Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry at wide receiver, and Njoku with Bryant at tight end. Baker Mayfield ran the show. The line was strong aside from a sore spot at left tackle. The results were a middle-of-the-pack offense, about fourteenth, that strung together long drives. It was not an all-or-nothing unit. It generated explosives out of its core formations. Landry was a draft comp for Amon-Ra St. Brown. St. Brown is the better athlete now, but the play style echoes. If you frame J-Mo as the OBJ role from that one good Cleveland year before injuries, the parallels are easy to see. Tight ends and 12 personnel on deck The Lions need more help at tight end. The head coach played tight end in the NFL and is a former tight ends coach. He likes 12 personnel, with one back and two tight ends. Petzing's track record with Njoku and Bryant pairs with that preference. Coincidentally, Njoku is a free agent this offseason. Petzing also served as quarterbacks coach in Cleveland in 2022. That matters for Detroit. Jared Goff is different from Baker Mayfield. Goff is more careful, less mobile, and a better decision maker. That profile fits the Stefanski-style approach. Within a familiar NFL framework, the Detroit Lions can carry over what already works and sharpen the edges under their new offensive coordinator. This is a continuity bet with clear intent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTkpjtwbT84 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #drewpetzing #detroitlionsoffensivecoordinator #kevinstefanskioffense #tightendscoach #davidnjoku #harrisonbryant #12personnel #benjohnson #shanahankubiakstyle #jarvislandry #odellbeckham #nickchubb #bakermayfield #amon-rast.brown #jaredgoff Learn more about your ad choices.

Access is still one of healthcare's most talked-about problems. But a year after our last access-focused episode, the conversation has shifted in quieter and more consequential ways. In this episode, Chris Boyer and Reed Smith revisit access not as a single front door problem, but as a routing challenge shaped by workforce constraints, digital behavior, reimbursement realities, and patient expectations that continue to evolve. Rather than rehashing familiar headlines about staffing shortages or online scheduling, they introduce a route-first access strategy. One that prioritizes guiding patients to the right care, at the right time, through the right channel. Sometimes that means digital. Sometimes it does not. The conversation covers what has actually changed over the past year, where health systems are making progress, and where access friction has simply moved instead of disappearing. Chris and Reed also explore how consumer expectations are colliding with clinical capacity, why access success increasingly depends on orchestration rather than availability, and what leaders should stop measuring if they want real improvement. This is a practical, forward-looking discussion for healthcare leaders who want to move beyond access theater and design experiences that work in the real world.

Jayda Hazelett didn't follow the traditional pre-professional boarding school path to a ballet company. The Ballet Hartford corps member grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, trained locally at Project Ballet, attended summer intensives, and chose to pursue college at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music before entering the professional world. In this Dancer Story, Jayda shares why she chose to stay home for training, how summer intensives supplemented her education, and what the college ballet experience gave her. We also discuss the challenges of pursuing a professional career, the importance of mentorship, pivotal moments that shaped her path, mental health in ballet, and her future aspirations including dreams of Broadway. After graduating in 2024, Jayda joined Ballet Hartford as an apprentice and was recently promoted to the corps for the 2025-2026 season. If you're wondering whether staying local or choosing the college route means giving up on a professional career, Jayda's story proves there's more than one path forward.

Patrick and Benji kick off the first episode of the weekly show as the new season gets underway!*Exclusive deals from our trusted partners*

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined yet again by our pal Andrew Skurka and wayyyyy back former guest and now co-director of Skurka Adventures, Katie Gerber aka "Salty". Today's episode covers a lot of ground.  Today's conversation is part backpacking advice, part gear nerd chat, part a glimpse inside the operation at Skurka Adventures.  We first dive into Katie's list of the five biggest mistakes she made as a beginner backpacker and her take on why she loves her alcohol stove- after a decade of use. Andrew gives us an overview of vapor barrier layers and moisture management for cold-weather backpacking, the Ursack versus bear canister debate, he gives a framework for deciding exactly when it's time to hit the SOS button on your satellite communicator, the ethics of publicizing GPS tracks in these high consequence and fragile regions, and he shares his two cents on one of the most detailed bear-safety questions we've ever received. The duo also give us some standout stories from their years of working together, including a nightmarish and somehow hilarious story of surviving a Mojave Desert traffic jam in triple-digit heat.
