What's in a logo? A lot. Especially for a league and its brand. Good thing the NBA didn't try to make "Showdown '82" a permanent "thing." Nick Saban and others testify on Capitol Hill to "save" college sports. Which sports, tho? And would an NCAA football and basketball "super league" really be so bad? How come ESPN is selling off big chunks of its CFB inventory? Chicago Mayor, ALE theory fan. Sports teams are throwing away perfectly good stadiums after 20 years. Blame the Braves.

Sixty years ago today, NASA was making its first attempt to land on the Moon. Surveyor 1 had been launched three days earlier. The robotic lander touched down in a crater in the Ocean of Storms – a giant volcanic plain. It was a precursor to the Apollo missions, which would land astronauts on the Moon. Surveyor wasn’t the first probe to land on the Moon – a Soviet mission beat it by a few months. But Surveyor was more sophisticated. It carried a television camera to beam back images of its surroundings. Surveyor transmitted its first pictures just minutes after landing. And during its first lunar “day” – almost 14 Earth days – it snapped more than 10 thousand images. They showed a surface coated with small rocks, and pockmarked by small craters. The rim of the crater Surveyor landed in was visible in the distance. Pictures of its landing pads revealed important details about the texture of the lunar surface, as this NASA documentary pointed out: ANNOUNCER: The lunar surface texture not thick layers of loose dust into which spacecraft or men could sink. In the area of the Ocean of Storms, man can land and walk on the lunar surface. Surveyor 1 survived the frigid lunar night, taking hundreds more pictures the next day. Scientists even raised it the following January – seven months after its historic landing on the Moon. Script by Damond Benningfield

Today, we're focusing on navigating the pressure of running a business while staying connected to your bigger vision for your life and business. Stay tuned as Eric shares a simple five-step exercise to help you gain clarity, direction, and long-term alignment. The Sandwich Generation Many business owners are part of the "sandwich generation," taking care of parents while also raising children. That pressure adds to the demands of running a business, whether you're leading a large team or working as a solopreneur. A Long-Term Vision When pressure is high, it helps to reconnect with why you started the business in the first place. Most people fail to clearly define what they want their life or business to look like in the next 10 years. Identify the Different Areas of Your Life The first step is identifying up to seven areas of your life, including health, family and friends, fun, finances, work, personal development, and volunteering or charities. Rate Each Area Rate each area from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 your ideal, to create a clear picture of where your life currently feels aligned and where you need to improve it. Define your Actions Define two or three actions for each area that will move the needle in the right direction for you. Small actions and little wins create momentum. Questions and Answers Make a list of questions about your life 10 years from now, including where you live, your health, your accomplishments, what clients are saying, and your personal wealth. Eric's advice is to take your time answering those questions and sleep on them instead of rushing through the process. Write the Script of Your Future Life Describe a specific day in your life 10 years from now. The goal is to create a two- or three-page story that feels exciting and aligned. Revisit the Vision During Difficult Moments Review the document once or twice a year, especially during moments of pressure, doubt, difficult client situations, or imposter syndrome.

The twins of Gemini have a front-row seat for a planetary waltz this month. Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury are close to the twins now, and will bunch up even closer as the month progresses. The “twins” are the stars Pollux and Castor. They’re about a quarter of the way up the western sky as evening twilight fades. Pollux is the brighter of the two, with Castor to its right. Jupiter looks like a brilliant star to the lower left of the twins. It’s the largest planet in the solar system. But it’s on the far side of the Sun as seen from Earth, so it’s more than 550 million miles away – about six times the distance between Earth and the Sun. Venus is even brighter – the “evening star.” It’s below the twins. Although it’s a little smaller than Earth, it shines much brighter than Jupiter mainly because it’s much closer to both Earth and the Sun. Venus and Jupiter remain in view for a good while after darkness falls. That’s not the case for Mercury. It’s well to the lower right of the others, and much lower in the sky. It’s bright, though, so with a clear horizon, there’s a good chance to spot it. Mercury will move a little higher into the sky over the next few nights, improving the view. But the real action involves Jupiter and Venus. Venus is climbing away from the Sun quickly. It will nestle especially close to Jupiter on the 8th and 9th. It’ll pull away after that – all in close view of the twins. Script by Damond Benningfield

It’s early in the long winter night at the south pole. But a few dozen scientists and others have settled in at a research base there. They monitor the weather and climate, listen to rumbles in the ice below, and watch auroras dancing in the dark skies above. And they operate observatories that study the universe beyond. One of those observatories is buried in the ice. Known as IceCube, it’s a set of thousands of light detectors. They look for evidence of neutrinos – particles that are produced in the Sun, exploding stars, and other powerful objects and events. They almost never interact with other matter. But when one does interact, by smashing into an ice molecule, it produces a quick flash of light. Studying that flicker reveals details about the neutrino, including its origin. And that tells scientists more about the body that created it. Another observatory, the South Pole Telescope, studies the “afterglow” of the Big Bang. Known as the cosmic microwave background, it’s a sort of “haze” that fills the entire universe. Tiny fluctuations in the haze reveal details about the birth of the first stars and galaxies. Water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs microwaves. But the south pole is almost two miles high, and it’s so cold that there’s almost no water vapor in the skies above it. That allows the 10-meter dish to study the background glow in great detail – under the clear, dark skies at the bottom of the world. Script by Damond Benningfield

The Moon can be like a painter’s canvas, dabbed with many colors: the silver of a frosty night, the gold of honey, the orange of a ripe cantaloupe, even the deep red of blood. But it’s almost never blue – at least not in appearance. It sometimes is blue in name, though – including tonight. That’s because it’s the second full Moon of May – a repeat appearance known as a Blue Moon. The color of the Moon – full or not – depends on several factors. When the Moon is low in the sky, as it rises or sets, its light passes through a thicker layer of air. Molecules in the atmosphere scatter blue wavelengths of light, allowing the red to shine through. As the Moon climbs higher, we see more of its true color – gray. But the Moon is so bright that it looks white or silver. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes through Earth’s dark shadow. But sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere makes the Moon look dark orange or red. In rare cases, the Moon can actually look blue. That happens after volcanic eruptions or big forest fires. These events pump out particles that scatter red light, allowing the blue to shine through. After the eruption of Krakatoa, in 1883, the Moon appeared blue for months around the entire globe. Whatever its color, enjoy tonight’s Blue Moon. And look quite close to it throughout the night for the star Antares, the heart of the scorpion. They’ll be closest as they set.

For most American skywatchers, the star Capella is just peeking into view in the morning twilight. It’s bright, but it’s quite low as the sky brightens. You need precise timing and a clear north-northeastern horizon to spot it. A star’s first appearance is called the heliacal rising – a term that means “with the Sun.” It takes place at the same time every year, as the Sun completes a full circuit through the background of stars. In many ancient cultures, the heliacal rising of certain stars was crucial. The best example is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. In Egypt, it first appeared just before the annual flooding of the Nile – the most important event of the year. So the star’s return marked the start of a new year. Several cultures looked for the Pleiades star cluster. Its appearance marked a time to plant crops, or to gather them, depending on a culture’s location. Capella might have been important to the Zapotec, who lived in present-day Mexico. A half-century ago, researchers proposed that a building in the city of Monte Albá‡n was intentionally aligned at a right angle to Capella’s rising point. The star first appeared there at the time the Sun passed directly overhead at noon – a key date in the calendar. But later work disputed that finding. Capella isn’t nearly as important in modern times. But it reminds us that the stars once held great power over much of everyday life. Script by Damond Benningfield

Thousands of New Yorkers and visitors will crowd the major east-west streets of Manhattan the next couple of afternoons – all to watch the setting Sun. Weather permitting, the Sun will be perfectly framed by the island’s urban canyons as it descends over the Hudson River. The event is known as Manhattanhenge. It’s named for Stonehenge, the ancient monument in England. Its stones appear to have been aligned with key sunrise and sunset points, and other events. Manhattan produces its own alignments. The island is laid out in a perfect grid, and there are no obstructions along the horizon to block the Sun. The special sunset alignment occurs twice per year, about three weeks before and after the summer solstice, in June. Today, the Sun will be half above and half below the horizon at the peak viewing time. Tomorrow, the full solar disk will stand directly atop the horizon. That sequence is reversed on the nights of July 12th and 13th. Manhattanhenge has become a popular tourist attraction. The streets are clogged by a half hour before sunset. And some venues hold special events to celebrate the view. New York isn’t the only city where you can see the Sun setting between the buildings. But few offer the same alignment of streets and the open horizon provided by Manhattan. Script by Damond Benningfield

This week's episode starts with Ian's birthday, a conversation about fitness age that quickly goes off the rails, and the very real realization that getting older is, honestly, kind of rude. From there, Kat and Ian dive into something they've both been curious about lately: Claude. Kat recently switched from ChatGPT and shares what's actually been useful so far — from using Claude to organize her week and sort through newsletters to helping her think through work and spot gaps in her ideas. Along the way, they get into the bigger question underneath all of it: how do you use AI in a way that's genuinely helpful, not just flashy? And when does knowing how to prompt well start to feel like a real skill in its own right?

The star Vega is a bit of a puzzler. Over the years, astronomers reported evidence of several planets orbiting the bright star. But none of the planets has been confirmed. And observations by two space telescopes revealed nothing. But they left open the possibility of planets. Vega is low in the east-northeast at nightfall, and soars high overhead later on. It’s about 25 light-years away. It’s a bit bigger, brighter, and heavier than the Sun. And it’s younger – just 10 percent the Sun’s age. A disk of dust encircles Vega. It’s tens of billions of miles wide. Hubble Space Telescope recently found a “halo” of tiny dust grains that extends tens of billions of miles beyond the disk. Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope took a good look at the system. They showed that the disk is quite smooth. It’s probably renewed by comets and asteroids. They shed material as they orbit the star, and even more when they slam together. The smoothness of the disk means there are no giant planets orbiting within it. If there were, they would clear out wide gaps. There is one gap. But it’s not completely open. So a planet several times the mass of Earth could orbit in that zone, partially clearing it out. And there could be smaller planets elsewhere in the system – especially close to Vega. But so far, there are no confirmed planets – leaving Vega to travel through space alone.

Joan Lunden joins Vanessa to talk about her new memoir, JOAN: Life Beyond the Script, and the moments that forced her off-script: bringing her baby to work at Good Morning America, living through divorce in public, surviving breast cancer, caring for her mother, and deciding what she wants for her own later years. If you want to hear more about preserving brain health, listen to our episode with Dr. Majid Fotuhi.

On September 1st of 1859, Richard Carrington was studying the Sun, as he did every day. The British astronomer used a small telescope to project an image of the Sun on a screen. That allowed him to map the dark features known as sunspots. But on this day, Carrington saw something he’d never seen before. Bright features mingled with the sunspots. They were the first solar flares ever recorded – and still the most powerful. So the outburst is called the Carrington Event in his honor. Carrington also linked the flares to brilliant auroras seen across the globe the following day – the first observations of space weather. Carrington was born 200 years ago today, in London. He originally studied theology, but became hooked on astronomy. He joined an observatory, but left after a couple of years. He built his own observatory, in Surrey. Carrington watched the skies both day and night. He compiled star catalogs. And he made the most impressive studies of the Sun to that time, revealing some crucial details about the Sun. For one thing, it rotates faster near its poles than at the equator. For another, during the 11-year sunspot cycle, the spots move from middle latitudes to near the equator. Carrington eventually had to give up his research. When his father died, he had to take over the family brewery. His health failed as well. He died in 1875 – a pioneer at studying the Sun.

In this episode, we're diving into one what can be one of the biggest friction points of the onboarding process: helping clients gracefully leave their previous financial advisor. While most advisors focus on paperwork and transfers, this conversation is all about the psychology behind the transition and how small process tweaks can dramatically reduce friction, hesitation, and transfer delays. You'll learn how to create a more concierge-level onboarding experience by equipping clients with the language, confidence, and support they need during a vulnerable stage of the relationship.In this episode you will learn:• Why the “breaking up with your advisor” conversation creates emotional friction for clients• How to proactively reduce transfer delays and prevent previous advisors from creating doubt• The exact type of email scripts and language that help clients navigate the transition with confidence• How thoughtful onboarding touches like this build trust, improve client experience, and generate more referralsThis episode is a powerful reminder that the little things inside your onboarding process matter more than you think. By anticipating emotional roadblocks and giving clients the tools to navigate them, you create a smoother transition, reduce unnecessary friction, and reinforce that they made the right decision in choosing to work with you. Sometimes the most impactful client experience upgrades are also the simplest to implement.AND DON'T FORGET TO GRAB YOUR FREE BREAK UP SCRIPT HERE! Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

We can't keep turning a blind eye to e-commerce skimming. It's a real threat that demands real attention—regardless of how compliance checklists evolve. Eighteen months ago, our panel met to break down the rollout of PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. Now, one year after PCI v4.0, we're looking at the data-backed reality of how these requirements are actually playing out in the field.With the recent industry transitions to PCI DSS v4.0.1, clarifications surrounding the boundaries between parent web pages and third-party iframes have created a dangerous side effect: "Checkbox Blindness." Many organizations are misinterpreting these adjustments to mean that script monitoring is effectively optional if a payment iframe is in place. But treating client-side security as a text-only compliance loophole ignores a harsh forensic reality—attackers don't care about scoping boundaries.In this follow-up episode, host Jen Stone sits down with a full house of SecurityMetrics experts—Gary Glover (VP of Assessment), Chad Horton (VP of Technology), and Aaron Willis (VP of Forensic Investigation)—to cut through the regulatory noise. Backed by data from over six years of payment page monitoring, they translate the latest auditor fine print into practical guidance on why your parent page remains a prime target, and how to protect it without drowning your team in alert fatigue.Key Takeaways From This Episode:The v4.0.1 Scoping Misconception: Why thinking an embedded iframe completely offloads your client-side security obligations is a critical business risk.Bypassing the Safe: How attackers manipulate the parent page environment to intercept credit card data before it ever reaches a secure iframe or redirect link.The Reality of "Checkbox Compliance": Why tracking down fourth- and fifth-party scripts matters to your baseline security, even if your SAQ criteria makes it look elective.Inside a "Zero-Malware" Exploit: A forensic breakdown of how threat actors turn legitimate, approved analytics scripts against online checkout flows.Managing the Responsibility Matrix: How to handle iframe providers who are quietly altering their security liability terms in their public documentation.Resources & Links Mentioned:Stop Checkbox Blindness: Automate your script inventory with SecurityMetrics Shopping Cart Monitor Get a Forensic MRI of Your Checkout: Schedule a deep-dive review with SecurityMetrics Shopping Cart Inspect Read the Research: Download the QSA White Paper on E-Commerce Skimmer Attacks Connect With Our Team:SecurityMetrics Website: securitymetrics.comFollow Us on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/securitymetricsA note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

In this "Greatest Hits" episode we revisit one of our most impactful conversations with child development expert Claire Lerner. As parents who have personally navigated the challenges of raising children who don't respond to traditional gentle parenting approaches, we share how isolating and exhausting that experience can be and how Claire's expertise changed everything. Claire breaks down why some kids are simply wired differently, explains that challenging behaviors aren't manipulation but rather a need for boundaries and support, and offers practical strategies for helping children self-regulate. From rethinking timeouts to surviving big family gatherings, this episode is a must-listen for parents of strong-willed or highly reactive kids.Key Topics CoveredWhy some children are "wired differently" and don't respond to gentle parenting.Understanding child behavior — why kids act out and what they actually need.Claire's concept of the "safe space break" as a modern alternative to timeouts.How to help children self-regulate during moments of aggression toward others.Managing big family gatherings and holiday triggers for highly reactive kids.How to talk to family members and teachers about your child's unique needs.The importance of community and reducing parental isolation and burnout.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Meet Claire.Visit Claire's website. LMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF HERSELF AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9u Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Lightning may flash through the skies of Mars. But don’t expect to see big, jagged streaks like those produced by storms on Earth. Instead, they may be tiny sparks – like fireflies twinkling through a summer evening. On Earth, lightning is generated by the motions of bits of ice inside clouds. As the particles move past each other, they build up an electric charge. They dis-charge as lightning. The clouds on Mars are high and thin, so there’s no way for them to make big lightning bolts. But the dust grains that swirl through the Martian atmosphere might generate their own discharges. And two recent studies found evidence of them. In the first, researchers combed through recordings made by a microphone on the Perseverance rover. They found 55 instances of small “crackling” sounds near the rover. Almost all of them happened during dust storms, or when small dust devils passed the rover. The scientists decided the most likely explanation for the crackles was tiny discharges – “lightning” bolts about a centimeter long. In the second study, a team looked at observations made by the MAVEN orbiter. The scientists looked for radio waves produced by lightning, which are different from other types of radio from the planet. They found a single example – a possible flicker in Martian skies. Even if lightning is small and rare, it could interfere with future Mars landers – perhaps endangering instruments and people on the Red Planet. Script by Damond Benningfield

Stargazers on Mars might face one of the same challenges that often hampers a night under the stars here on Earth: clouds. A recent study found that clouds on the Red Planet tend to be thicker at night than during the day. They’re thickest in early morning and evening, especially when Mars is coldest. A fleet of orbiters and landers has been scanning the planet for decades. The probes have told us quite a bit about the Martian climate. The cloud study came from a craft that’s been in orbit since 2021. It watched the clouds both day and night. It amassed the most complete view of the nighttime sky to date. Another study looked at Martian winds. Researchers used AI to sift through more than two decades of images collected by two orbiters. The program identified more than a thousand dust devils – twisting columns of air that sweep dust high into the sky, such as this one recorded by the Perseverance rover. [dust devil sounds] Tracking the motions of the little devils allowed scientists to plot the speed and direction of the winds across the whole planet. The study revealed peak wind speeds of almost a hundred miles per hour – far faster than anything ever recorded by instruments on the surface. These studies and others are helping scientists better understand how the Martian climate works – day and night, in every season. More about Martian climate tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Time is tricky. There’s no “universal” clock ticking along at a constant rate. Instead, every clock in the universe ticks at its own rate, influenced by its motion and by the gravity of the matter around it. Those influences are built into the clocks of GPS satellites; without them, the system would fail within days. Scientists recently calculated how clocks would tick on Mars – an average of 477 millionths of a second faster per day than clocks on Earth. But as Mars orbits the Sun, that rate varies by up to 226 millionths of a second. The scientists used Albert Einstein’s theories of gravity and motion. Stronger gravity and faster motion both make a clock move more slowly as seen by an outside observer. The surface gravity of Mars is only about a third as strong as Earth’s. And because the planet is farther from the Sun, it orbits the Sun more slowly. But Mars’s orbit is more lopsided than Earth’s, so its orbital speed varies more dramatically. The changing distance also alters the gravitational influence of the Sun, as well as that of Earth and the Moon. The researchers incorporated all of these variables – and many others – to figure out the ticking of Martian clocks. Mars is working its way into the morning sky. It’s quite low in the east during dawn twilight. But the planet will climb a little higher day by day, and will be in good view this summer. More about Mars tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

The Moon creeps up on the heart of Leo tonight, the star Regulus. Regulus is close to the upper left of the Moon at nightfall. The Moon will move closer before they set, around 2 a.m. They’ll be closest together as seen from the West Coast. The star we see as Regulus is called Regulus A. It’s several times bigger and heavier than the Sun, and much brighter. A tiny companion star is so close that it’s impossible to see through the glare. That duo appears to have two more companions, Regulus B and C. They form their own pair, orbiting each other once every 600 years or so. Regulus B is about 80 percent the size and mass of the Sun, and one-third as bright. Regulus C is a third of the Sun’s mass and size, and just two percent as bright. Regulus B and C are 79 light-years from Earth – the same distance as Regulus A. And they’re moving through space in the same speed and direction as the brighter star. That suggests that they’re bound to Regulus A. But they’re a long way from it – several thousand times the distance between Earth and the Sun. So astronomers haven’t watched the system nearly long enough to calculate a mutual orbit for the two pairs of stars. Estimates say it would take more than a hundred-thousand years for them to complete one circuit. So it’s possible that they’re not really bound at all – just a chance alignment at the bright heart of the lion. Script by Damond Benningfield

Episode 257: A Simple Script for Missionary Moms is for every missionary mom, dad, mission leader, or loved one who has ever wondered, "What do I say when my missionary is struggling?" In this episode, I share one simple but powerful script that can completely change the way you support missionaries, returned missionaries, and young adults through hard days, discouragement, anxiety, homesickness, self doubt, or even thoughts of coming home from the mission. We talk about why our brains naturally want to fix problems, why missionaries often think there is something wrong with them for struggling, and how your response can either add pressure or create safety and connection. I walk through the simple practice of normalize, validate, repeat and explain how learning to "hold space" instead of trying to fix things can strengthen trust, confidence, emotional resilience, and relationships with your missionary or returned missionary. Whether your missionary is struggling with mission anxiety, discouragement, confidence, self worth, social anxiety after the mission, or simply feeling overwhelmed, this episode will give you practical tools and a simple script to help you respond in a way that feels calm, loving, and supportive. You do not have to fix your missionary, solve every problem, or say the perfect thing. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply remind them that it makes sense, it is okay, and you are there to help them move through it. Episode 257: A Simple Script for Missionary Moms will show you exactly how. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

A space telescope is scheduled for a rescue. If the plan works, a small spacecraft will boost it to a higher orbit. That would allow the telescope to keep watching the skies for years. Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was launched in late 2004. It watches the universe at a wide range of wavelengths, from visible light to gamma rays – the most powerful form of energy. Its original mission was to study gamma-ray bursts – the explosive deaths of massive stars. They’re among the most violent events in the universe, and among the “swiftest” – they fade in as little as a few seconds. So the telescope has to pivot swiftly when a new burst occurs – hence its name. Swift’s original altitude was 375 miles. But the Sun has been especially active in recent years. It’s heated Earth’s atmosphere, causing it to expand. That’s dragged the telescope to less than 250 miles. There’s a good chance it could fall from orbit by the end of the year. The rescue mission is scheduled for launch within a few weeks. Swift wasn’t designed to be serviced in orbit, so it’ll take some delicate maneuvering to not harm its delicate equipment. The rescue ship will spend a couple of weeks flying around the observatory, giving controllers time to plot the capture. Once latched on, the craft will boost the telescope back to its original altitude – allowing it to keep watching some of the most powerful events in the universe. Script by Damond Benningfield
