Resort Wars: Showdown rolls on, and this time two very different Deluxe Villa resorts are stepping into the ring as Disney's Riviera Resort takes on Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa! We're putting these two resorts head-to-head across seven rounds, comparing them in theming and atmosphere, rooms and comfort, dining and drinks, transportation and location, recreation and amenities, value for money, and of course, listener intel. Riviera brings an upscale European-inspired atmosphere, a compact and easy-to-navigate layout, one of the strongest resort dining lineups at Walt Disney World, and the huge transportation advantage of the Disney Skyliner. But is all of that enough to justify the premium price? Saratoga Springs counters with a completely different experience. It's sprawling, peaceful, packed with recreation, offers everything from Deluxe Studios to the unique Treehouse Villas, and puts Disney Springs within walking or boating distance. It may not have the same polished feel as Riviera, but does its space, versatility, location, and value make it the better overall resort? We'll debate each category, award a point round by round, bring in your listener votes and comments, and make our final arguments before crowning a winner. Only one can advance in Resort Wars: Showdown. Will it be Riviera or Saratoga Springs?

We're breaking down a wild weekend across the West. Crazy storms hit Utah over the weekend — and 55 new fires have ignited across the state since Friday morning. Plus, Walmart is rolling out contactless tap-to-pay at its stores nationwide. Then Utah County just launched a $2.50 rideshare service called UTA On Demand in fast-growing communities like Eagle Mountain, Lehi and Saratoga Springs. We're also talking back-to-school: how to help your kids make new friends and why one psychologist says you should stop telling kids they can do anything (and what to say instead). Later, we compare your paycheck to top CEO salaries. Steve joins us for a GLP-1 chat, including a surprising rise in needle-stick injuries linked to weight-loss drugs.

The stated mission had all the ambition—and word count—you would expect from a nineteenth-century professional organization: “the advancement of the science of jurisprudence, the promotion of the administration of justice, and a uniformity of legislation throughout the country.”James Overton Broadhead, a Missouri lawyer, became the ABA's first president. And the idea apparently had some appeal. Within a year, the organization had grown from its original 75 members to nearly 300.It is worth remembering just how different the legal profession looked at the time. There were few meaningful licensing standards, legal education varied enormously from one place to another, and there was nothing resembling a national voice for lawyers. “The bar,” such as it was, was largely a collection of state and local institutions operating under their own rules and traditions.The ABA helped change that.Over the next century, it became one of the principal forces behind the professionalization of American law. It developed model ethics standards, eventually producing what became the Model Rules of Professional Conduct that form the basis for lawyer regulation in most states. It became enormously influential in law-school accreditation. And for decades, its assessments of federal judicial nominees carried substantial weight in Washington.In other words, the ABA became something close to an institutional center of gravity for a profession that, by design, does not really have one. Whether that has always been a good thing is a separate question—and there is certainly no shortage of lawyers willing to debate it.But the date is particularly interesting this year because the ABA is once again squarely in the headlines.Just this week, we covered the organization's lawsuit challenging the administration's executive orders targeting major law firms. The ABA's argument, at bottom, is that the government is attempting to use its power to punish lawyers and firms for representing clients or causes the administration dislikes—and, in doing so, pressure the broader legal profession into falling in line.There is a rather striking symmetry to it.An organization founded nearly 150 years ago in part to promote “the administration of justice” now finds itself in court arguing that the independence of the lawyers responsible for administering that system is itself under threat.One can agree or disagree with the ABA's politics—and plenty of people do. But the principle underlying its founding is harder to dismiss. A legal profession capable of governing itself, enforcing its own standards, and, when necessary, telling political power “no” is not merely a professional convenience. It is part of the architecture of the rule of law.Of course, independence is only valuable if lawyers actually use it. Which brings us neatly back to today's opening quote from Charles Hamilton Houston: what lawyers choose to do with the power and independence their profession gives them matters enormously.Nearly 150 years after those 75 lawyers met in Saratoga Springs, that question has hardly become less relevant.Another key test case in the massive social-media litigation has evaporated: a New Jersey teenager has voluntarily dropped her lawsuit against Meta, Google, and Snap, just weeks before it was set for trial in October. The 15-year-old, identified in court records only by her initials, had alleged that the companies' platforms fueled addiction, depression, and self-harm. Notably, her lawyer said she received no payment to walk away—she simply wanted, in the attorney's words, to “resume her life.” TikTok had earlier settled her claims separately. If you've been following along, this should sound familiar: back in July, we covered a different teen plaintiff, in a bellwether case against Meta, dropping his claims days before trial. Now it's happened again. Here's why it matters strategically. These are “bellwether” cases—representative individual lawsuits, plucked from a pool of thousands, tried first so both sides can gauge how juries will react and calibrate settlement value. When a marquee bellwether disappears right before trial, it removes a data point everyone was watching. And the reason this one vanished is worth sitting with: not a secret settlement, but a teenager deciding she didn't want to spend her life as the face of a landmark lawsuit, subjected to discovery into her mental health and cross-examination about her worst moments. The significance is a quiet illustration of a real tension in mass litigation—the individual plaintiffs who anchor these cases are often young and vulnerable, and the litigation itself exacts a toll that can lead them to walk away. Meanwhile, the states' cases, like the 29-state trial underway in California, march on without that problem, because a state attorney general doesn't have a childhood to protect. US teen drops lawsuit against Meta, Google, Snap ahead of trial | ReutersBenzinga · WJLAThe Justice Department is seeking to question the FBI officials who carried out the 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago—a striking move that turns the machinery of investigation around to point at the investigators. According to sources, the requests are coming from a team working under Joe diGenova, a Trump ally now overseeing a Florida-based probe, and the investigation is reportedly built on the theory that Trump was the victim of a criminal conspiracy against his rights. Let's recall the facts, because they matter. The 2022 search was authorized by a federal judge and turned up more than 100 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, including highly sensitive national-security records. That led to charges against Trump and two associates for retaining classified material and obstruction. The case never reached a jury on the merits—it was dismissed after a judge concluded the special counsel, Jack Smith, had been unlawfully appointed, and the DOJ dropped its appeal after Trump won the 2024 election. So here's the inversion: agents who executed a lawful, court-approved search warrant, and found exactly the classified documents the warrant anticipated, are now themselves the subjects of scrutiny, under a theory that pursuing Trump was itself a crime against him. The significance is about the independence of law enforcement and the chilling effect of retribution. When agents who followed a valid warrant can be investigated years later for having done so—by a team led by a political ally of the person they investigated—it sends a message to every FBI agent and prosecutor about the personal risk of investigating the powerful. It's the same thread we pulled on yesterday with the Comey prosecution: the concern that federal law-enforcement power is being turned to punish the president's perceived enemies rather than to pursue crime. DOJ seeks to question FBI officials tied to search of Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, sources say | ReutersWashington Post · Yahoo NewsAnd finally, a fight is heating up that will help define who owns the raw material of the AI era: your voice. In federal court in Illinois, a group of journalists, podcasters, voice actors, and audiobook narrators are suing a who's-who of tech—Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung, Alphabet, Adobe, and the AI voice company ElevenLabs—alleging the companies harvested their “voiceprints” from publicly available audio recordings and used them to train commercial AI voice models without consent. This week, the two sides squared off over the companies' motions to dismiss. The legal engine here is a powerful Illinois statute called BIPA, the Biometric Information Privacy Act—the same law that produced a $650 million settlement from Facebook over face-tagging. BIPA treats biometric identifiers, including voiceprints, as something a company can't collect or use without informed consent, and it comes with statutory damages and a private right of action, which makes it a serious threat. The core dispute is about harm. The tech companies argue the plaintiffs can't point to any concrete injury—no cloned voice showed up in a product they can identify—so there's nothing to sue over. The plaintiffs counter that the harvesting itself is the harm: BIPA was designed to stop the nonconsensual capture of your biometric identity in the first place, whether or not it later surfaces in a product. The significance is that this is a preview of the defining legal question of AI training: the models are built on enormous quantities of human-created data—our voices, our writing, our faces—often scraped without asking, and the law is scrambling to decide whether that scraping is a harm in itself. Old privacy statutes like BIPA are becoming the sharpest tools plaintiffs have, and how these motions come out will shape whether the people whose voices train the machines have any say at all.

After nearly a year and a half, police have finally made an arrest in the deaths of a Saratoga Springs woman and her son. Jessica Orton Lyman and her son, Eli Painter, were found shot in their home back in March 2025. Police say they've arrested a 16-year-old, but haven't given any other information. Why did this arrest take so long, and why won't police say who they've arrested, even though they've spoken about this supposed teen several times before? Inside Sources breaks it down.

What does real, living faith look like when life gets hard, uncertain, or dangerous? In this verse-by-verse study of Hebrews 11.17–31, Dave Bigler walks through the lives of the Old Testament saints to uncover how genuine faith moves beyond passive belief into bold, obedient action. From Abraham willingly placing Isaac on the altar to the Patriarchs blessing the next generation on their deathbeds, this teaching explores how God's people trusted His promises even when they could not see the ultimate outcome.Continuing through the life of Moses, the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, the fall of Jericho, and the redemption of Rahab, this message highlights how everyday people with real struggles were used by God in extraordinary ways because of their faith. Wrapping up with the sobering warning from James 2.14–26, this study challenges us to stop waiting for full understanding before obeying, and instead step out in active faith today.

Tour Diaries continues with a full recap of one of the most anticipated weekends of the summer—SPAC! We break down both nights in Saratoga Springs, share our favorite performances, gush about guest violinist Jake Simpson, and talk about everything that made this year's SPAC run so special. 

In this verse-by-verse teaching through Hebrews 11:1–16, Dave Bigler from Iron Sheep Ministries examines the true biblical definition of faith—not as wishful thinking or subjective optimism, but as a rock-solid contract (hypostasis) and Spirit-given conviction (elegchos) rooted entirely in the character of God. Moving through the opening hall of faith, this study explores how believers understand Creation by faith and how Abel, Enoch, and Noah demonstrated genuine trust through a faithful daily walk with God, and a holy reverence that cared far more for God's voice than the crowd's applause. We also trace the steps of Abraham and Sarah, who stepped out into the unknown, waited 25 years for the promised heir, and discovered that God's supernatural power begins right where human capacity drops to zero. As followers of Christ, we are challenged to stop measuring God's unlimited power by our own physical limits and self-imposed rulers. Like the patriarchs who openly confessed they were foreigners and strangers on this earth, true biblical faith refuses to look back at the comforts of our past lives (Ur of the Chaldeans), choosing instead to fix its eyes on the heavenly city prepared by God. Join us for this deep dive into God's Word as we examine our own hearts, hand over our zero-capacity areas to the Promise-Maker, and learn what it means to walk by faith every single day.

In this verse-by-verse study of the second half of Hebrews 10, we walk through three distinct segments:A Gracious Invitation (Hebrews 10.19-25): Drawing near to God through the finished work of Jesus—whose ultimate sacrifice tore the temple curtain and cleansed our hearts.A Solemn Exhortation (Hebrews 10.26-31): Understanding the severe warning against willful, unrepentant rejection of Christ's sacrifice.An Encouraging Confirmation (Hebrews 10.32-39): Standing firm in hope and community as we await the Lord's return.By contrasting the Old Covenant levitical sacrifices with Christ's once-for-all atonement, this study challenges believers to engage in practical fellowship, spur one another on toward love and good deeds, and remain steadfast in the face of trial. Whether you are looking to deepen your personal Bible study or preparing to lead a group, this message offers clear historical context and practical application for daily Christian living.TEACHING NOTES:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e-wLYKgcGnC7Vv0sPhpmoZakR2IO-8uI3biHPuOVq60/edit?usp=sharingABOUT IRON SHEEP MINISTRIESIron Sheep Ministries is dedicated to helping you dig deeper into God's Word.

In this Bible study, we unpack the opening section of Hebrews chapter 10, focusing on the profound truth of Tetelestai—that Jesus Christ has paid our sin debt in full. By examining Hebrews 10.01-18, we contrast the repetitive, temporary nature of the old Levitical covenant with the ultimate, one-time sacrifice of Christ. We dive deep into the prophetic layers of Psalm 40.06-08, exploring why the writer of Hebrews quotes from the Septuagint to highlight that a body was prepared for the Messiah, signaling a ready heart to do the will of God. We also confront human nature's constant urge to try and earn salvation through legalism, reminding ourselves that because Christ sat down at the right hand of God, the work of our redemption is completely finished.Building on this foundational truth, we look closely at how the old covenant sacrifices served only as a yearly reminder of sin rather than a permanent cure. Since the dawn of the Fall in Genesis, humanity has attempted to cover its own shame with inadequate "fig leaves" of self-righteousness, yet God demonstrates that only a blood sacrifice He provides can truly clothe us. As we close this first part of our study of Hebrews 10, we are challenged to stop striving to earn God's love and instead humble ourselves under His mighty hand.TEACHING NOTES:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y3E7Oq-DUgmChhLJx34tEbLqrGrZVtzY6BZPhonPZtQ/edit?usp=sharingABOUT IRON SHEEP MINISTRIESIron Sheep Ministries is dedicated to helping you dig deeper into God's Word.

Welcome back to our ongoing study through the Book of Hebrews, the book of "Better Things". In this Bible Study, Dave Bigler from Iron Sheep Ministries guides us through Hebrews chapter nine, diving deep into the structural blueprint and profound theological purpose of the earthly sanctuary—contrasting the old tabernacle and temples with the ultimate, heavenly sanctuary. Focusing on our key verse, Hebrews 9.24, we explore how the ancient sacrificial system established under the Mosaic Covenant was never meant to be permanent, but was a beautiful, meticulous copy built to point us directly to the finished work of Jesus Christ. To help visualize this powerful connection, this study provides an overview of the tabernacle's layout, from the bronze altar of sacrifice in the outer courtyard to the golden implements within the Holy Place. We examine how every physical element—including the single entrance, the golden lampstand, the showbread, and the altar of incense—finds its absolute fulfillment and spiritual reality in the Savior. We also address the intriguing wording in Hebrews 9.4 regarding the altar of incense, tracing the architectural progression from Moses's tabernacle to the grand temples of Solomon and Herod. Follow along with our detailed study notes at Iron Sheep Ministries to deepen your reverence for the perfect bridge Christ built to bring us into the very presence of God.TEACHING NOTES:https://docs.google.com/document/d/19WCysbtqo9T4-cViUtgPz4XP7bvyegqTFc8D9IpZnMA/edit?usp=sharingABOUT IRON SHEEP MINISTRIESIron Sheep Ministries is dedicated to helping you dig deeper into God's Word.

Skip straight to the case: (13:45)On a quiet 2025 March morning in Saratoga Springs, Utah, a teenage girl walked into a horrific scene.  Her mother, Jessica Lyman (44)  and her brother Eli Painter (8) had been shot and were found in Jessica's bedroom.As investigators peeled back the layers of the case, unsettling clues emerged—surveillance footage of a masked figure, cryptic handwritten notes, and a trail of unanswered questions that have kept the double murder shrouded in mystery. More than a year later, with no arrests and new evidence still surfacing, the Saratoga Springs double murder remains one of Utah's most haunting and perplexing unsolved cases.Is the murderer someone known to the family or could this have been a random attack? A note was found in the bedroom of one of Jessica's surviving children that read ‘This is a murder story.'In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the Saratoga Springs murders of Jessica Lyman and her son Eli Painter.Read our blog for this caseJoin us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by:Quince - Elevate your summer wardrobe.

In this episode of the Better Learning Podcast, host Jessica Westerduin talks with Amanda Vottis, an architectural designer at Mosaic Architects with over 12 years of experience in K-12 educational design. Amanda shares her winding path into school architecture, her philosophy of "radically student-centered" design, and a deep dive into the multi-year Saratoga Springs School District project — a "legacy" renovation initiative built on an educational plan shaped by community input, teacher feedback, and student voice. The conversation explores how thoughtful design (learning stairs, breakout spaces, informal student areas) can transform how kids feel about school, and why understanding student behavior and needs matters more than just filling classroom walls. Takeaways: Design starts with people, not walls. Instead of asking "what does this classroom need," Amanda asks "what do your students need to be successful" — shifting conversations from storage and outlets to real student experience. Community alignment sustains long-term projects. Saratoga Springs' educational plan, built through summits, surveys, and teacher/student input, has guided nearly a decade of phased renovations back to a shared vision. Dream big before scaling back. Exposing districts to ambitious ideas (like learning stairs and dedicated informal spaces) helps them aim higher instead of defaulting to "practical" but uninspired designs. Every student learns differently — design should reflect that. Just as teachers and coaches adapt to different learning styles, school spaces need variety to support how each student thrives. Ownership and pride change student behavior. When students feel a space belongs to them, they take care of it and use it — evidenced by the pride shown in Saratoga's new fitness center and cafeteria.

For most people in Saratoga Springs, Patrick Pipino is known as the guy who always shows up. Whether he's organizing community events, teaching someone how to snowmobile, baking sourdough for friends, or helping a neighbor in need, Pat has built a reputation around generosity and connection. But behind that outward kindness is a loss he has carried for nearly four decades. When Pat was 19 years old, his younger sister Meredith was killed in a tragic house fire set by an arsonist. She was just 13 years old. In an instant, his family was forever changed, leaving behind questions, heartbreak, and a grief that would follow them for the rest of their lives.In this conversation, Pat and Heather talk about sibling loss, survivor's guilt, and the complicated ways grief evolves over time. Pat shares the lasting impact Meredith's death had on his mother, his brother, and his own understanding of family, as well as the guilt he still wrestles with decades later. They explore what it means to keep someone's memory alive, the challenge of living with unanswered questions, and why small acts of kindness have become such an important part of Pat's life. Along the way, they discuss social media, community, parenting, and the quiet ways the people we love continue shaping who we become long after they're gone. It's an honest conversation about loss, guilt, legacy, and learning to carry grief without letting it define you.Resources & Ways to ConnectJake's Help from Heaven Website: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelpJake's Help from Heaven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcastFor more of Heather's writing and thoughts: https://ohheather.substack.com/Everything's Jakey (Substack): https://everythingsjakey.substack.com/

In this Bible study, we dive into Hebrews 5.11 - 6.20 to explore a profound warning against falling away and falling into spiritual apathy. The author pauses the deep conversation regarding Jesus as our high priest in the order of Melchizedek to deliver a necessary rebuke to Christians who have become nōthros (sluggish, lazy, or complacent in their faith). Rather than remaining on spiritual "milk," we are challenged to mature, move on to "solid food," and actively grow in our daily walk so we can discern good from evil and build up the body of Christ. We look at the historical-cultural context of these Jewish believers facing intense persecution in Rome and examine the foundational elements of faith that we are called to build upon. We also tackle the heavily debated passage in Hebrews 6.4-8 concerning apostasy, exploring both sides of the theological conversation regarding eternal security versus the potential of losing one's salvation. Ultimately, this study transitions from a sobering warning to a powerful message of encouragement centered on God's unchangeable word and oath. Discover how the Abrahamic Covenant reminds us of God's absolute faithfulness, providing a hope that acts as a secure anchor for our souls. If you feel like the fire has gone out in your spiritual life, join us for practical encouragement on how to get back to the basics and refocus your faith.

On this special episode of Higher Ed Pulse, Mallory Willsea sits down with former co-host and higher ed marketing leader Seth Odell at the inaugural Let's Go Upstate Retreat in Saratoga Springs, New York. Together, they reflect on friendship, leadership, wellness, and what the higher education community needs most right now. Seth shares updates on life and business, including the growth of Kanahoma, the launch of new AI-powered products, and the joys (and sleep deprivation) of raising a young family. But the heart of the conversation centers on the retreat experience itself—why creating space for wellness, vulnerability, and meaningful connection may be exactly what higher ed professionals need in an increasingly demanding environment.  The discussion explores the power of practices like breathwork and mindfulness, the importance of investing in people beyond their professional roles, and how community can help leaders navigate uncertainty. As the conversation wraps, Seth offers his latest higher ed prediction: in an era of shrinking demographics, changing search behavior, and growing disruption, institutions that invest in brand-building—not just performance marketing—will be best positioned for long-term success. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

And the situation around the disappearance seemed odd too. Rhonda Dequier, founder and executive director of the Missing in America Network joins the show to share insights into how the Amber Alert system may have helped in this case.

Police in Saratoga Springs, Utah, are searching for Dane Richman, 46, and his sons: 10-month-old Wesley and 22-month-old Will. Police issued an Amber Alert after Richman failed to meet the mother of the boys for a planned custody exchange on Saturday May 23. Prior to that, police say Richman sold his house, was depressed and took other measures to buy time so he could flee to Mexico.

Police now suspect that the man who kidnapped his two boys has fled to Mexico.  Law enforcement issued an Amber Alert late Saturday and early Sunday for 10-month-old Will and 22-month-old Wesley Richman. The alert said the boys had been taken by their father, 46-year-old Stephen Richman of Saratoga Springs, who did not have custody at the time. Holly and Greg share the latest updates on this ongoing situation.
