In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Giordano sits down with Steve McGuire of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni to expose the catastrophic collapse in academic preparedness across America's education system. Using UC San Diego's alarming new data showing freshmen unable to add single digit numbers, round to the nearest hundred, or subtract fractions, this episode examines how decades of lowered standards, ideological distractions, and exploding education spending have produced a generation unprepared for college or citizenship. Nick and Steve break down why taxpayers spend more than $1.5 trillion a year on education with worse results than ever, why there is no public outrage, and what reforms are urgently needed to restore competence, knowledge, and real accountability.   Episode Highlights UC San Diego's data reveal a nationwide academic collapse and the dangers of lowering standards How more than $1.5 trillion in annual education spending produces catastrophic results with no accountability What ACTA sees behind the scenes and the reforms needed to rescue American education  

In today's episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Jay Paterno, former Penn State assistant coach, current member of the Penn State Board of Trustees, and son of the all-time winningest coach in NCAA football history, Joe Paterno. Jay has spent his entire life inside college football and just released his new book, Blitz, which pulls back the curtain on the pressures, politics, and realities shaping the sport today.Jimmy and Jay start with the one thing everyone in Utah has been talking about this week — Penn State's pursuit of BYU head coach Kalani Sitake. Jay shares what he was hearing behind the scenes, how seriously Penn State considered Kalani, and why it now looks like he is staying at BYU. From there, they dive into the changing landscape of college football: NIL, the transfer portal, player mental health, the explosion of sports gambling, and the lack of leadership at the top of the NCAA.Jay also opens up about growing up as Joe Paterno's son, what leadership looked like in his home, and how he has navigated criticism and controversy while trying to honor his father's legacy.

Editor: Twenty-nine years after retiring as a teacher from Floresville High School, I returned to serve as a trustee. In the intervening interval, I had a real estate career, medical interventions, and became a member of John Q. Public. I know how things were in 1996 and now I was being “brought up to speed.” I was delighted to see all of the infrastructure progress in the “skilled trades” — nursing, welding, cybersecurity, and auto mechanics. All were probably up to the edge of the possible in offering in a society with an overabundance of attorneys. I also noticed that...Article Link

Send us fan responses! Tired of feeling like the public owns your time, your data, and your money? We lay out a direct path from dependency to private control by reframing wealth as a family function instead of a solo hustle. The conversation gets blunt because the stakes are high: if you stay a beneficiary, you wait for handouts; if you become a trustee, you write the rules, document the purpose, and build something that outlives you.We start with the mindset shift—private life is common sense, enforced through boundaries and contracts. From there, we break down why family law is private law and how that changes daily choices around education, housing, vehicles, and even the names you use on the record. You'll learn the trustee's job description in plain language: control everything and own nothing, keep dealings at arm's length, and align activities with a written mission. We also unpack substance over form, showing how thoughtful documentation and clear purpose keep your structure credible while avoiding the traps of public debt and public liabilities.Then we get practical. We talk family business trusts, ministry structures, and LLC interfaces. We outline how to pair insurance with your trust so capital arrives exactly when your family needs it, and how endowments, archives, and charitable giving strengthen status and legacy. Throughout, we highlight nationality, jurisdiction, and how to stop defaulting into public terms you never wrote. If you've wondered how established families preserve power for generations, this is the blueprint—plain, actionable, and tested.Ready to step into the private and act like a trustee? Subscribe, share this with someone building a family enterprise, and leave a review with the first move you'll take today.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

The Good Forest: The Salzburgers, Success, and the Plan for Georgia (U Georgia Press, 2024) explores some of Georgia's earliest settlers, the Salzburgers.  Georgia, the last of Britain's American mainland colonies, began with high aspirations to create a morally sound society based on small family farms with no enslaved workers. But those goals were not realized, and Georgia became a slave plantation society, following the Carolina model. This trajectory of failure is well known. But looking at the Salzburgers, who emigrated from Europe as part of the original plan, provides a very different story.  The Good Forest reveals the experiences of the Salzburger migrants who came to Georgia with the support of British and German philanthropy, where they achieved self-sufficiency in the Ebenezer settlement while following the Trustees' plans. Because their settlement comprised a significant portion of Georgia's early population, their experiences provide a corrective to our understanding of early Georgia and help reveal the possibilities in Atlantic colonization as they built a cohesive community.  The relative success of the Ebenezer settlement, furthermore, challenges the inherent environmental, cultural, and economic determinism that has dominated Georgia history. That well-worn narrative often implies (or even explicitly states) that only a slave-based plantation economy—as implemented after the Trustee era—could succeed. With this history, Auman illuminates the interwoven themes of Atlantic migrations, colonization, charity, and transatlantic religious networks. Guest: Dr. Karen Auman is an assistant professor of history at Brigham Young University and a certified genealogist. She studies Germans during the colonial period in the Atlantic World, religion on the frontiers of America, migrations, and families. Host: Lucy Smith Biemiller is an intended M.A. History student at the University of Georgia. She studies 18th and 19th material culture in the American South primarily as it relates to classical culture. Learn more about your ad choices.

Because their settlement comprised a significant portion of Georgia's early population, their experiences provide a corrective to our understanding of early Georgia and help reveal the possibilities in Atlantic colonization as they built a cohesive community.  The relative success of the Ebenezer settlement, furthermore, challenges the inherent environmental, cultural, and economic determinism that has dominated Georgia history. That well-worn narrative often implies (or even explicitly states) that only a slave-based plantation economy—as implemented after the Trustee era—could succeed.

If you've been punting your estate planning all year, this is your wake-up call. In this episode, I bring in Griffin Bridgers—a recovering attorney who lives in this space—to tear down the myths and get you moving before the holidays eat your calendar. We get real about why estate planning slips to the bottom of the list: nobody wants to think about death, and everybody swears they'll “get to it later.” Later rarely comes. We start with basics that most people still miss: your will's validity, witness requirements, and why “perfect is the enemy of good.” Get the core documents done, then build the habit of revisiting them as your life changes—because it will. Your family changes. Your relationships change. Your appointees change. Set-and-forget is a fantasy. Review is the job. Then we crack open the myths: “The bank has my beneficiary, so I'm covered” (no, that's not a plan), and “my attorney has the originals, so I don't need to track anything” (do your people even know how to reach that attorney—or if they're still practicing?). This is where good intentions die and heirs get stuck. Business owners—this one's for you. Your buy-sell is not a checkbox. It's a minefield of human behavior, valuation drift, liquidity shortfalls, “I'm done working but still own 50%” scenarios, and spouses who don't agree with your sweetheart deal. If you don't define the rules, a judge will. Griffin's core punchline is simple: death is never easy, but you can make it easier. Start with the “who” and the “how.” Review your will, trusts, POAs, and—crucially—the people you've named. Educate them on their roles. Create an instruction manual so someone can actually run the playbook when you're gone. Then get your corporate docs in one place, with minutes and filings current. Organize first. Then review. Then fix. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/7ZRs0r_XCVsAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

Columbia Township - Trustees Meeting - November 18, 2025

Sycamore Township - Records, Public Hearing & Trustees Meeting - November 18, 2025

When Marymount Manhattan College's board of trustees decided last year to merge with Northeastern University, becoming a part of that Boston-based university's global system, the vote was unanimous. As Jeff and Michael continue their ongoing exploration (some might say obsession) with mergers and acquisitions in higher ed, they talk to one of Marymount Manhattan's trustees, Abby Fiorella, on this episode to get a board member's perspective on how mergers can be strategic wins for smaller institutions, as well as key to protecting their core missions.

We often talk about living on a blue planet, but when we think we're talking about the ocean we're generally only discussing what's in it: fish, whales, pollution and ships. But that is to miss the biggest story on Earth, because it's the water itself that sets the scene for everything else. This lecture will outline how the ocean engine works – its internal anatomy, how the components move, and how this engine has directly influenced our history and culture.This lecture was recorded by Professor Helen Czerski on the 30th of October 2025 at Bernards Inn Hall, LondonDr Helen Czerski is a physicist and oceanographer with a passion for science, sport, books, creativity, hot chocolate and investigating the interesting things in life. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London and her research focus is the physics of breaking waves and bubbles at the ocean surface. These bubbles change underwater sound and light, help transfer gases from ocean to atmosphere (helping the ocean breathe) and also eject ocean material into the air. She has spent months working on research ships in the Antarctic, the Pacific, the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and is an experienced field scientist. Helen has been a regular science presenter on the BBC for 15 years, covering the physics of the natural world in BBC2 landmark documentaries (including ‘Orbit', ‘Operation iceberg' and ‘Supersenses'), and the physics of everyday life in a range of BBC4 documentaries (including ‘From ice to fire: The incredible science of temperature', ‘Sound waves: The symphony of physics', and ‘Colour: The spectrum of science', along  with many others). She currently co-hosts BBC Radio 4's flagship climate and environment programme Rare Earth. Helen's first book Storm in a Teacup won the Italian Asimov Prize and the Louis J. Battan Author prize from the American Meteorological Society. Blue Machine won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing. She was awarded the Institute of Physics Gold Medal in 2018 for her work on physics communication, and an Honorary Fellowship of the British Science Association in 2020. She has been a Trustee of Royal Museums Greenwich since 2018, and was one of the 2020 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturers, giving her Lecture on the topic of the ocean. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/liquid-engineGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. There are currently over 2,500 lectures free to access. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds.

"Roots and Wings of Hope: Emergent Wisdom from the Interdependent Web" Sunday, November 16, 2025 adrienne maree brown teaches, “We are part of a natural world that is constantly changing, and we need to learn to adapt together and stay in relationship if we hope to survive as a species.” Emergent strategy is “the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions.” How can UUs find hope from nature—birds in synchronized flight, entangled oak tree roots, and the structure of dandelions and fungi—and apply these lessons in biomimicry to our collective organizing against fascism, racism, and all forms of oppression?

Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today, my guest is podcaster and Western New York music historian Greg Hennessey.  Through his weekly podcast, In the Flamingo Lounge with Rockabilly Greg, Hennessey shines a necessary light on Buffalo music, celebrating our region's rich musical history, and honoring the best of the current generation of bands and artists living and working in Western New York.  Greg served on the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame's Board of Trustees for 11 years, and is currently the Vice President of the Sportsmens Americana Music Foundation board. That's where I got to know Greg, in my role as executive director of the SAM Foundation. Greg's passion for Buffalo music has been a great asset to the Foundation's music education and community outreach mission.  Spend any time in the Flamingo Lounge with Greg, and the dude's love for rockabilly in general - and the seminal early work of Elvis Presley in particular - becomes immediately apparent. He also counts artists like Buddy Holly, Wanda Jackson and the Stray Cats among his favorites, and we talked about all of them during this episode.  Welcome to Why Music Matters, Rockabilly Greg!  --- Produced by 678Main Studio and Creative Services https://678main.com --- Follow Why Music Matters on social media https://instagram.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://www.facebook.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://twitter.com/wmmpod
