AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on TSA officers who haven't received a full paycheck for weeks.

In this special guest‑hosted episode of Reboot IT, KiKi L'Italien takes the reins and chats with Trevor Mitchell (President and CEO, IAVM) and Dave Coriale (President, DelCor Technology Solutions) to explore why associations struggle with tech decisions and how decision discipline can change everything. They dig into readiness, risk, AI pressure, and the myths leaders tell themselves when urgency takes over. Whether you're facing shiny objects, data distrust, or board confusion, this candid conversation shows how to make clearer, more confident choices that actually move your mission forward. Themes and Topics: The Tension Behind Tech Spend Leaders face simultaneous pressure: money, risk, staffing capacity, and board expectations. Urgency leads to chasing trends instead of linking choices to business objectives. “Tech spend” triggers spiraling questions, often without shared understanding. Readiness as a Cultural Indicator Readiness isn't about money; it's about the capacity to adopt change and adjust processes.  Associations overestimate their ability to implement and manage change.  Leaders who frame technology as strategic (not operational) increase alignment and reduce risk. Maturity Models and Shared Language The 501(c) IT Maturity Model™ gives leaders a common vocabulary to make decisions. Assessment creates clarity: “What's real?” instead of “What we assume.” The alignment portfolio becomes a roadmap, not a report card. AI Pressure and the Myth of “We Need This Now” Boards and members introduce AI ideas before assessing readiness. Smart leaders pause to ask whether AI aligns with strategic direction. Buying prematurely creates more problems than it solves. The Most Common Decision Mistakes Believing a new system will “solve everything.” Relying on vocal minority feedback when making tech decisions. Letting minutiae, or fear of user reaction, delay well‑planned initiatives. What Improves Decision Quality in the Next 90 Days Create a repeatable decision-making framework for all major tech choices. Move from data-driven to data-informed decisions. Operationalize assessment findings inside everyday project management tools. 

In this episode we discuss the current affordability challenges faced by many, with a focus on rising costs of living.

According to the Peterson Foundation, this year's CBO outlook lays out a budget weighed down by structural forces; from health‑care costs to an aging population that outpace the revenue coming in. It's a forecast shaped by competing political pressures and economic realities that don't move in the same direction. We'll explore whether there's any realistic path to addressing those imbalances with Brett Loper, Executive Vice President of Policy at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The conversation begins with a deeper look at selling in the hobby and whether there is still a negative stigma around trying to maximize returns, flipping cards, or moving inventory strategically. Jeremy, Joe, Greg, and Jason talk through the difference between ethical selling and short-term opportunism, the role of dealers and flippers in the ecosystem, and why so many collectors still have conflicted feelings about money, pricing, and reputation in the hobby. From there, the show shifts as Jason exits and Josh Adams and Chris McGill join the conversation. Chris returns from the injured reserve list and immediately gets into the aftermath of the Michael Jordan 1 of 1 auction that had captured so much attention. Rather than just revisiting the final price, the group explores the bigger question: why didn't Chris buy the card, and what did he learn from going through that process so deeply? That leads into one of the most insightful parts of the segment, as Chris reflects on the value proposition, the research, the emotional pull of a grail, and the reality of deciding what cards would have to go in order to make room for one massive acquisition. Jeremy, Joe, and Josh all weigh in on consolidation, regret, collecting discipline, and the psychological cost of moving deliberate, carefully chosen cards out of a collection for one apex piece. The result is a thoughtful discussion on what it means to go all in, when it makes sense to tap out, and how collectors should think about major decisions when a once-in-a-lifetime card comes to market. The segment also touches on the difference between rooting for a grail pursuit and believing it is truly the right move.

It's the most expensive time of the year, and it's hitting just as many people are falling behind.Many Canadians have changed their spending habits and have even given up buying gifts for family members.Our question: How is personal debt affecting your holiday season? What's your workaround? What are you giving up?

Send us a textFour chairs, one feast, and a lot of opinions. We sat down for our annual Thanksgiving roundtable to tackle the choices that make or break the day: where to spend it, when to eat, which sides survive, and whether the Macy's Parade is better in person or from the couch. What starts as a friendly debate about gummy bears and toothpaste quickly shifts into a real conversation about how couples and families merge holiday traditions without losing what feels like home.We dig into the logistics that quietly run the day—timing meals around football, planning for naps and travel windows, and the art of double dinners. The table talk gets lively as we eliminate one side between cranberry sauce, applesauce, and salad, then crown the essentials: stuffing with gravy, old-school mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes built for leftovers. We break down turkey tactics, from brining to frying, and why white meat often wins the sandwich wars while dark meat delivers flavor on the bone.The debate widens to big-picture choices: Is a holiday about the big-city spectacle or cozy traditions? Would you actually spend Thanksgiving in New York to catch the balloons up close? We also rank the big four holidays—Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and New Year's—and the results might surprise you. Mixed in are practical tips like the overlooked value of New Year's Day sales and the no-waste approach to post-feast turkey stew.If you're juggling multiple households, optimizing the menu, or simply deciding when to carve, this conversation will feel like your own living room—warm, honest, and a little competitive.

Rex and Duff are back, and this week we're digging our nails further into the coffin of Metal Horror Films, continuing our discussion on the perfect and imperfect blending of loud riffs and cinematic gore.

The prevailing theme of our discussion centers on the persistent and multifaceted impact of tariffs within the furniture industry, a subject that has dominated conversations at the recent High Point Market. As we delve into the intricacies of this evolving landscape, we observe that suppliers are exhibiting remarkable creativity in response to the challenges posed by the tariff environment, thereby ensuring the continuity of business operations. Notably, consumer preferences are shifting, with an increasing demand for functionality, value, and sustainable practices influencing purchasing decisions. Domestic manufacturers are finding unexpected advantages, as tariffs have prompted a resurgence of interest in American-made goods, thereby narrowing the cost disparity between imported and locally produced items. Furthermore, we explore transformative real estate developments, such as the innovative conversion of the former Red Lion Hotel into a mixed-use space, which epitomizes the broader evolution of our industry, extending beyond mere furniture to encompass strategic real estate initiatives that aim to rejuvenate the market's very core.The dialogue presented in this episode of Furniture Industry News intricately navigates the complexities of the furniture market, particularly through the lens of the current tariff environment. The discussion commences with an examination of the pervasive influence tariffs exert on the industry, compelling suppliers to recalibrate their strategies in response to evolving consumer expectations. It is noted that while the tariff situation introduces formidable challenges, it simultaneously catalyzes a renaissance for domestic producers, thereby leveling the competitive playing field. This duality of challenge and opportunity is underscored by insights from industry leaders who recognize a burgeoning consumer preference for domestically manufactured goods, spurred by an increased awareness of sustainability and a desire to support local economies.Takeaways: The current tariff situation continues to foster a dynamic and challenging business environment for furniture suppliers. There is a notable shift in consumer preferences towards furniture that offers both functionality and genuine value. Domestic producers are experiencing a resurgence in consumer interest due to the competitive advantages presented by tariffs. The transformation of the former Red Lion Hotel into a mixed-use space exemplifies real estate's growing importance in the furniture industry.

We'll be talking about his classic tracks like "Shock Me," "New York Groove," and the enduring anthem, "Cold Gin." Following the tribute, we dive into a round of KISS-themed "King of the Mountain" Tough Choices! It's the ultimate battle of impossible decisions, where we pit iconic albums, singles, and eras against each other. Is it the raw energy of Alive! vs. the perfection of Destroyer? Dipping into the deep well of the KISS discography, Rex and Duff will crown the champion. Tune in to argue, debate, and party all nite!

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, the Fertility Docs dive into the complexities of decreased ovarian reserve and the tough decisions that come with it. What happens when only a few eggs are retrieved? When is it best to fertilize, and when might it be time to stop treatment? Our docs unpack the emotional and financial weight of multiple cycles with low yields and explain why sometimes looking at sperm health—including DNA fragmentation testing may be important. They discuss the role of growth hormone in supporting egg quality, the difficult but potentially life-changing choice of donor eggs, and strategies for dealing with dominant follicles, from luteal starts to estrogen priming. You'll also hear insights on high AMH at age 41, unexplained infertility that turned out to be diminished reserve, chemotherapy's impact on fertility, and alternative paths when IVF isn't financially possible—from IUI and intratubal insemination to fertility grants. This is a must-listen episode for anyone navigating the challenging reality of decreased ovarian reserve. This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility.
