Dr. David Kohl, Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech is keeping an eye on the global economy and input costs of today's farm. Kohl speaks with Bob Bosold about how outside forces can make some big ripples in Wisconsin's farming operations today, that will likely last into 2027. He starts by discussing the energy complex and its impact on operating costs. Kohls says he would expect that farms might be forced to make some difficult decisons about overall direction before the end of the year. Rain is finally on the way for a majority of Wisconsin. Stu Muck breaks down the path of precipitation and volume we can expect. To date there's more than 18,000 cases of cyclospora that the Centers for Disease Control is tracking in 45 different states. The argument over whether it was food borne in lettuce continues. Do stories like this change the way consumers approach buying produce? Teri Barr finds out from Kathy Bures of Bures Berry Patch in Barneveld. Despite the fact that their name has "berry" the farm is involved in fresh market sales year round. Bures says her customers know their protocol and are comfortable that their food source is safe. It's probably one of the most under appreciated crops we have. Alfalfa. Now, alfalfa and forage producers have a new risk management tool available after a lot of education. Beth Nelson, president of the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance has a great "elevator pitch" to quickly educate staff members that might keep her from getting policy makers moving on program needs. Pam Jahnke makes some notes on the high value of alfalfa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark your calendar for the 2026 Blacksburg Field Day on August 24 – 25, 2026 at Virginia Tech and the Turfgrass Research Center in Blacksburg. This year's event begins with an elevated kickoff at Blacksburg Country Club, where we are partnering to bring together the fun of Goatley Rules mixed with tradition golf fun for 9 holes of pure entertainment and camaraderie. The Monday program features a 3:00 PM shotgun start followed by a welcome happy hour and dinner at 6:00 PM. On Tuesday, attendees will gather at the Turfgrass Research Center for breakfast and registration at 7:30 AM, field day tours at 8:30 AM, and a networking lunch at 12:30 PM. This annual event offers a chance to learn, network, and support turfgrass research, education, and extension in Virginia — while enjoying one of the most memorable traditions in the turfgrass community. Your participation in Field Day helps the Virginia Turfgrass Foundation (VTF) continue supporting the Turfgrass Research Center (TRC) in meaningful ways. In 2025, that support helped fund a part-time TRC staff position, and in recent years VTF has also provided equipment matching funds for multiple pieces of critical equipment. As research needs continue to evolve, attendance at these events helps fuel the funding needed to keep the TRC moving forward and meeting those needs. The Blacksburg Field Day is more than a showcase of research — it is an opportunity to build relationships, strengthen the turfgrass community, and support continued investment in the Turfgrass Research Center. With Goatley Rules returning in a bigger way this year, it's also a chance to enjoy an unforgettable round of golf while celebrating Dr. Mike Goatley's lasting impact on the turfgrass profession.

“You just have to believe that at some point it's going to translate into the actual result you want. These close calls aren't only going to be my defining story.”My guest for today's episode is Vince Ciattei — U.S. 5000m champion. At 31 years old, roughly 24 hours after losing the 1500m final by five hundredths of a second, Vince went back out at Icahn Stadium and won the 5K national title in 13:46.75 — an event he had raced once in the previous five years. It was the first national title of his career, and it came after a run of fourths, thirds, and seconds that have stretched across nearly a decade as a professional.Vince trains with Under Armour Dark Sky Distance in Flagstaff under Stephen Haas. He went to Virginia Tech, where he only became good enough to go pro in his fifth year. He came back from an injury straight away as a pro. He finished fourth at the 2024 Olympic Trials by a quarter of a second and has been on the edge of breaking through internationally for years, and this year it finally started to crack open — a 3:30 personal best in Rabat behind Yared Nuguse, Isaac Nader, and Azeddine Habz, a Diamond League schedule that treated him as a competitor rather than a time-trialer, a 13:13 at Payton Jordan in May, and then a weekend in New York where he went from reading a LetsRun writeup at 4 a.m. declaring he had missed his best shot to standing on top of the podium less than twelve hours later.In this conversation we get into all of it: The sports psychologist who helped him reframe a decade of near-misses as a trajectory rather than a verdict; The 24-hour turnaround between the two finals and what it took to flip the switch — including the middle-of-the-night LetsRun read, the drug testing chat with his mom afterward, and the moment when Kasey Knevelbaard came by with 250 to go and the race turned into a Dark Sky one-two.We also get into what Rabat and Ostrava showed him about where he actually stands internationally, the Diamond League final, the World Ultimate Championships, and the target that's been quietly driving his entire season: the World Road Running Championships mile in September, where he'll wear the Team USA uniform for the first time.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSCORE: The CORE 2 Thermal Sensor takes the guessing out of heat training.

In this episode, Pete was joined by Isaac Parks to discuss his controversial video, “The Worst Firing in Football History.” Isaac explains why he believes Penn State made a massive mistake firing Franklin, breaks down his reasoning, and makes the case for why the decision could come back to haunt the Nittany Lions. From there, the guys dive into some of the worst coaching firings in college football history and debate which programs made the biggest mistakes moving on from their head coaches. Finally, the conversation turns toward Virginia Tech. How will James Franklin do in Blacksburg? Can he prove Penn State wrong? And what should Hokies fans expect from Franklin in his first season at Virginia Tech? Was James Franklin's firing one of the worst decisions in college football history?

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Dina AZ. Salem!About Dina AZ. Salem: Washington, DC–based abstract artist born in Alexandria, Egypt, working across painting and sculpture to create materially driven works that explore healing, transformation, memory, and resilience. Through layered surfaces, texture, and unconventional materials, her practice investigates how personal experiences can be translated into visual language. She signs her work with the initials of her late father, honoring the person who first encouraged her artistic journey.In our conversation, Salem talks through growing up as a hyperactive child in Alexandria, Egypt, and how her mother discovered that painting calmed her down—leading to a lifelong artistic practice that began at four or five years old. She shares how her father, Ahmed Zaki, a CFO who never used a calculator in his life, would sit next to her and watch her paint, eventually buying her early works for small amounts to encourage her. Salem recalls visiting her father's office at nine years old and finding all her blue paintings hanging on his walls, and how his passing when she was twelve stopped her artistic journey for years.She connects her path from applying to shoe design school in Italy to eventually attending Virginia Tech and landing in DC about four years ago, reflecting on how the journey "chose her." We get into her philosophy that materials carry memory—sourcing everything from sand to plaster to abandoned items found walking around DC and at Home Depot, her "happy place." As she puts it, she's interested in "how we become someone new without losing who we were." Salem discusses how living in two places has made her understand that "identity is never fixed, it's always evolving," and how she wouldn't create the same style of work if she had stayed in Egypt.Be sure to follow Dina AZ.

HEALTH NEWS   Curcumin shows the best balance against cancer, study shows First trial confirms swimming reduces disability from chronic back pain Nanoplastics in Drinking Water May Be Making Dangerous Bacteria Stronger, New Study Warns Kids remember veggie scents from womb, study finds Watermelon Contains Compounds Linked to Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, Studies Show   Curcumin shows the best balance against cancer, study shows Wroclaw Medical University (Poland), July 22 2026 (News-Medical) Curcumin, berberine, and other plant-derived compounds have long attracted scientific interest because of their anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. A new study by researchers from Wroclaw Medical University, however, shows that not all natural compounds act in the same way, and strong anticancer activity does not always go hand in hand with a good safety profile. The researchers compared five compounds: curcumin, berberine, biochanin A, cucurbitacin E, and CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester), a component of propolis. They investigated how these substances affected fibrosarcoma cells and healthy muscle cells. The study focused on the NF-κB signaling pathway, which regulates inflammation, metabolism, cell survival, and cellular aging. The tested compounds disrupted mitochondrial function, reducing the cancer cells' ability to produce energy. In fibrosarcoma cells, ATP levels decreased by approximately 83–92%, compared with reductions of around 23–73% in healthy muscle cells. This suggests that cancer cells are more vulnerable to disturbances in energy metabolism. The compounds also affected mitophagy, the process responsible for removing damaged mitochondria. All five compounds induced features of cellular senescence in fibrosarcoma cells. In this state, cells remain alive but permanently lose their ability to divide. The strongest effect was observed with curcumin. The proportion of senescent cancer cells increased from approximately 16.5% to more than 75%. For the other compounds, the percentage exceeded 66% as well. Healthy muscle cells generally showed a weaker response, suggesting a degree of selectivity towards cancer cells.   First trial confirms swimming reduces disability from chronic back pain Macquarie University, July 21 2026 (Eurekalert)   Australian research has shown for the first time that a program of swimming can be clinically effective in reducing disability from chronic low back pain.  Publishedin the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the clinical trial found an eight-week individualised program of swimming and education, guided by a physiotherapist, improved function and pain significantly more than education alone in people with back pain.  The researchers recruited 76 adults aged 26 to 74 (average 41 years) who were experiencing some disability due to low back pain lasting for at least 12 weeks and allocated them at random to one of two groups. One group received an eight-week individualised program of swimming and education, supported by four telehealth coaching sessions with a physiotherapist. They weren't regular swimmers, but they were able to swim 25 metres and feel confident in the water.  The swimming programme was based on a goal of achieving three sessions of 30-45 minutes by the end of the eight weeks.  After eight weeks, disability was significantly lower in the swimming group.  They improved by about 50 per cent from where they were before starting the program. Compared to the control group who received education only, swimmers scored on average 2.5 points or 30 per cent lower on a widely used disability scale.     Nanoplastics in Drinking Water May Be Making Dangerous Bacteria Stronger, New Study Warns Virginia Tech University, July 21 2026 (Natural News) A study published in the journal Water Research found that nanoplastics, tiny plastic particles invisible to the naked eye, can increase the mechanical strength of bacterial biofilms and make them more resistant to disinfectants. The research, conducted by Virginia Tech and an international team, examined how these particles affect microbial communities inside drinking water systems.  The findings indicate indirect public health risks through water systems. The nanoplastics can make the antimicrobial-resistant pathogens better survive, which could be harmful to the environment and would have public health implications.   The study focused on biofilms containing E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two bacteria commonly associated with waterborne infections. When exposed to nanoplastics, the bacteria activated multiple defense mechanisms, resulting in thicker, heavier biofilms. These strengthened biofilms pose a greater challenge for water treatment facilities, according to the researchers. Biofilms are communities of bacteria that attach to surfaces, such as the interior walls of water pipes. These bacterial colonies produce a protective matrix that shields them from environmental threats, including disinfectants. While some biofilms are beneficial, those formed by pathogenic bacteria can pose risks inside drinking water distribution systems.   Waterborne nanoplastics are already widespread. A French government study found that glass bottles can contain five to 50 times more microplastics than plastic bottles, with contamination often originating from painted caps.   Kids remember veggie scents from womb, study finds Durham University, May 13 2026 (Medical Xpress) Experiencing bitter or non-bitter flavors before birth can shape taste likes or dislikes after being born, according to new research led by the Durham University Department of Psychology. Researchers found that young children are less likely to react negatively to the smell of vegetables they were repeatedly exposed to in the womb. They say their findings could have implications for establishing healthy eating habits in children. The researchers examined the facial reactions of 12 three-year-olds to the non-bitter smell of carrot or the bitter smell of kale. They found that the three-year-olds whose mothers had taken carrot powder capsules as part of a controlled experiment when pregnant were less likely to show negative facial reactions toward the smell of carrot. Similarly, those whose mothers had taken kale powder capsules while pregnant reacted less negatively to the smell of kale. The researchers say their latest finding supports the argument that exposure to flavors in late pregnancy can result in long-lasting odor or flavor memory in children.   Watermelon Contains Compounds Linked to Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, Studies Show UCLA, July 22 2026 (Natural News)   Watermelon contains bioactive compounds that have been linked to improvements in cardiovascular function and metabolic healths. The fruit is a source of the amino acid citrulline, which the body converts to arginine, and the antioxidant lycopene, both of which have been associated with positive health outcomes. According to a review in the journal Nutrition clinique et métabolisme, watermelon consumption increases plasma arginine concentrations in adults. The body converts citrulline into arginine, which then supports nitric oxide production, a molecule that helps relax blood vessels. Lycopene, the carotenoid responsible for watermelon's red color, is also present in notable amounts and acts as an antioxidant. Watermelon's L-citrulline and L-arginine content improves arterial function and blood pressure Another report states that citrulline is useful for blood pressure regulation and metabolic health.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder what could possible make the Steelers have Mason Rudolph as their number two QB going into this upcoming season. Also, why will Penn State fans be rooting for Pitt Football against Virginia Tech this season? And Chris Carter from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on The Fan Hotline. July 24, 2026, 8:00 Hour

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson think there might be a strong reason why Penn State fans will actually hope that Pitt Football beats Virginia Tech this season. Do Penn State fans hate their former head football coach James Franklin more than the blue and gold?

Are you hurting right now? Could you use some Super Self Care? Listen in as Renee shares insights aplenty into how we can make life just that little - or a BIG - bit easier.  Renee received her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin and her master's degree in Clinical Child Psychology from Virginia Tech. She started her career as a case manager for the intellectual and developmental disabilities population at the local Community Services Board (CSB). While working, she obtained her Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) certifications and was promoted to her first supervisory position in 2000. While in this position, Renee discovered her passion for program development and leadership. She continued to work at the CSB managing programs that supported individuals with mental health needs and/or developmental disabilities until she came to DePaul in January of 2017. Renee was already familiar with DePaul's mission of hope and belonging as she was previously a foster parent for the organization. For almost six years, Renee has been the Vice President of Child and Family Services overseeing the Foster Care, Independent Living, Adoption, and Community-Based programs.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:Element 29 Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECU) (OTCQB: EMTRF) (BVL: ECU)Drill hole ELID035 at the Elida copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry in Peru returned 1,534.6 metres grading 0.58% copper-equivalent, the company's longest continuous intercept to date and extending mineralization more than 1,000 metres beyond the current resource. With two rigs active and about 4,885 metres drilled of a planned 10,000-metre program, the results reinforce the scale and depth of the system. For investors, the hit signals meaningful room for future resource expansion at one of Peru's larger undeveloped copper deposits.Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSX-V: CNC) (OTCQB: CNIKF)Canada Nickel delivered an initial mineral resource at its Nesbitt project and a 46% increase in indicated resources at Deloro, completing its ninth deposit across the Timmins Nickel District. The district now hosts 4.36 billion tonnes of measured and indicated resources at 0.24% nickel, containing over 10 million tonnes of contained nickel. The milestone underscores the district-scale potential of the Ontario nickel portfolio as the company works toward a preliminary economic assessment.Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA)Aclara was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for federal funding under its Genesis Mission initiative to apply artificial intelligence to heavy rare earth separation. The Phase I project, run with Argonne National Laboratory and Virginia Tech, aims to optimize domestic rare earth processing, with successful projects eligible to advance to Phase II for additional funding. The award validates Aclara's strategy of building a secure rare earth supply chain across the Americas and ties it to a national critical-minerals priority.Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (TSXV: FTZ) (OTCQX: FTZFF) (FSE: C3Y)Fitzroy intersected 111.9 metres at 0.97% copper from 21.1 metres, including 18.0 metres at 1.59% copper, at its Buen Retiro project in Chile. The company has four rigs turning and aims to complete the drill-out of the newly named Tenorita area in August to support a planned pre-feasibility study and targeted production in early 2028. The wide, shallow copper hits strengthen the case for a low-strip, near-surface open-pit operation.Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (TSXV: KLDC) (OTCQB: KLKLF)Kirkland Lake Discoveries expanded its Mirado gold system with 18.99 g/t gold over 6.7 metres and a broad 0.50 g/t gold over 91.0 metres, while extending the North Zone by about 85 metres. A first regional hole 500 metres west at the MZ Zone hit intense alteration and sulphides, suggesting the mineralized corridor may reach beyond the historical deposit. With a regional drill permit secured and 16 holes awaiting assays, the company has multiple near-term catalysts across its KL South property.Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5)Troilus drilled 1.10 g/t gold-equivalent over 103 metres, including 2.10 g/t over 34 metres, from inferred material within the Z87 reserve pit at its Quebec project. The optimization program is converting previously unsampled or waste-classified rock into potential ore, which management expects to improve early-year mill feed and lower strip ratios. The results support ongoing efforts to strengthen the mine plan for the feasibility-stage former Troilus mine.Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV: SGN) (OTCQB: SRCRF) (FSE: RY9)Scorpio Gold closed an upsized public offering for gross proceeds of $10.8 million, issuing 43.2 million shares at $0.25 each. Atlas Salt Inc. (TSXV: SALT) (OTCQX: SALQF) (FSE: 9D00)Atlas Salt received a non-binding letter of interest from Export Development Canada for up to C$150 million in long-term debt for its Great Atlantic Salt Project in Newfoundland.

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Larsen, founder of Next-Level Income and someone with over 20 years and nearly three decades in real estate. What I love about Chris's story is where it started: he bought his first rental property at age 21, while he was still a college student at Virginia Tech studying biomechanical engineering. From there he has been involved in around $2 billion in acquisitions across development, private lending, distressed debt, commercial offices, and multifamily syndication. Before real estate, Chris was chasing a very different dream. He was a competitive cyclist with hopes of going pro, until the sudden loss of his best friend at a bike race forced him to ask what he was really doing it all for. That moment set him on a search for financial freedom, and after five years of reading everything he could get his hands on, he landed on real estate as his path. He walks us through the mindset shift from day trading and stress to building something with control, leverage, income, and long term certainty. We get practical about why now is a great time for W-2 earners to move off the sidelines. Chris shares the story of his very first deal, $3,000 down on a townhouse that he house hacked with two roommates, and how a 1031 exchange years later turned that tiny investment into a seven figure return. He is a big believer that real estate is a get rich slow game, and he makes the case for doing even one creative deal a year and letting time, rents, and inflation do the heavy lifting. We also dig into where we are in the real estate cycle. Chris breaks down the roughly 18.5 year cycle, why he thinks we are in the second half where it pays to be the bank, and why keeping some dry powder on the sidelines makes sense right now. Toward the end he shares the two free tools his team built, an interactive book and a Chris Larsen AI coaching assistant, for anyone who wants to go deeper. If you have been waiting for a sign to start building passive income, this conversation is it.   Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00  Introduction and the three paydays philosophy 00:23  Meet Chris Larsen: 20+ years and roughly $2 billion in acquisitions 00:52  Buying his first rental at 21 as a college student 02:32  Why he wrote his latest book to help people engineer freedom 03:04  Starting a nonprofit after Hurricane Helene hit Asheville 03:52  The cyclist dream and why pro cycling rarely pays 04:51  Losing his best friend at a bike race and the emptiness that followed 06:35  The discipline and structure cycling taught him 06:51  Deciding he wanted to live life on his own terms 07:48  From day trading stress to realizing that is not investing 08:46  Why real estate: control, leverage, income, and depreciation 09:37  The 15 year plan to reach ten grand a month in income 09:52  Why creative deals beat the old way of getting paid once 12:05  What Chris is working on now and his latest book 12:48  Moving from residential to commercial and multifamily 14:13  Why now is a great time for W-2 earners to get in 15:20  Real estate as a get rich slow game and the one deal a year approach 16:02  The $3,000 first deal that became a seven figure return through a 1031 17:55  The 18.5 year real estate cycle explained 20:09  Why it is a good time to be the bank 20:31  Keeping cash on the sidelines and staying selective 21:43  The two free tools: the interactive book and Chris Larsen AI 22:42  How high income earners can start investing passively 23:20  Why finding someone who made the mistake first shortens your curve   Quotables "Real estate is a get rich slow game."

Do you love to watch birds? Are you occasionally surprised on a morning walk by the flutter and fury of birds emerging from a nearby tree or grassland? Justin Proctor, coordinator of the Virginia Grassland Bird Initiative of the Smithsonian Institute's Virginia Working Landscapes' program, shares his insights, expertise, and passion for his work with Jeff, Mary, and Eric. Justin also emphasized that more than 60 bird species depend on Virginia grassland for their habitat and survival.  Virginia is unique as a migratory fly zone where many migrating birds will briefly stop in fields to rest and refuel before continuing a northward migration in the spring and southward migration in the fall. Therefore, knowing nesting times, habitat protection strategies, and migration patterns are critical to help these species to flourish.If this episode encouraged you to enhance the habitat for grassland birds on your farmland, the Virginia Grassland Bird Initiative has plenty of practical factsheets, educational workshops, incentive programs, and partners to assist you.

Gene Zannetti talks with World Team member and Virginia Tech assistant coach James Green about preparing for the World Championships after a season of injuries that made wrestling feel like the easy part, why he stopped visualizing domination and started visualizing the hard moments so nothing on the mat catches him off guard, the mindset shift from grinding himself down with weight cuts to managing sleep, recovery, and nutrition as the real competitive edge, and how coaching unlocked a fourth dimension of the sport by forcing him to watch every weight class and accept styles outside his own.Timestamps:1:56 - Being present at Final X after a rough freestyle season3:59 - Battling injuries made the wrestling feel like the easy part5:22 - Stop visualizing domination, visualize the hard moments8:05 - Film study: looking for how opponents score, not what to avoid11:47 - Coaching unlocked a new dimension of the sport15:40 - Sleep and recovery replacing the old weight-cut grind18:50 - Lengthening the match and keeping constant pressure on opponents20:00 - Confident in his ability to adjust whistle to whistle

In this college football podcast episode, we finish our three-part preview of the ACC by turning our attention to the defending conference champions and several of the league’s most difficult teams to project. Can Duke keep finding ways to win after another major quarterback change? Does Clemson have a real plan for getting back into the College Football Playoff conversation? And can Louisville once again rebuild its offense around a new transfer quarterback without losing ground near the top of the conference? We also dig into James Franklin’s full-scale reboot at Virginia Tech, Ty’s increasingly dangerous belief in NC State, and a pivotal season for Brent Key at Georgia Tech. With new quarterbacks, rebuilt offensive lines, coordinator changes and transfer portal additions everywhere, how much confidence should we place in recognizable coaches and favorable schedules? Plus, we examine why Cal could become one of the most entertaining teams in college football, whether Syracuse can recover with Steve Angeli back under center, and what Bill O’Brien can realistically build at Boston College. Elsewhere, Dan experiments with performance-enhancing inhalers, Ty launches Bros for Brohm, the Calgorithm gains strength, and we issue another annual warning about hiring Ted Roof.

In this college football podcast episode, we begin our three-part 2026 ACC preview by zooming out and attempting to make sense of the conference as a whole. Miami enters the season as the clear favorite, with Darian Mensah taking over at quarterback and another roster built to reach the College Football Playoff. But can the Hurricanes finally win their first ACC championship? From there, we sort the rest of the ACC into contender tiers and confront the question that defines the league this season: Who comes after Miami? We debate how much to trust Kevin Jennings and SMU, Jeff Brohm’s latest rebuild at Louisville, Clemson’s return to Chad Morris and the long list of possible challengers lurking in the conference’s crowded middle. We also examine the unusually unsettled quarterback landscape, widespread offensive line turnover, the arrival of James Franklin at Virginia Tech and the pressure facing Mike Norvell at Florida State. Plus, we identify our ACC pet teams, search for surprise storylines and hold an entirely unnecessary conference nickname draft.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
