YCBK 226: Maryland makes change and hires workers without college degrees
In this episode you will hear:
Before beginning the podcast Mark announces a blockbuster change that will change the nature of the YCBK podcast in a major way and the announcement is effective on June 1st.
Dave answers a question from a listener, why is okay for you (Dave) to go to elite schools like Harvard and Princeton and for your daughter to go to Yale, but you tell me that it doesn’t matter where my kid goes to college.
(27:12) In this segment of “In the News” Mark and Dave discuss an March 17th, 2022 article by Juliana Kaplan and Madison Hoff of Business Insider entitled,
“Maryland is hiring workers without four-year college degrees to curtail its labor shortage”
Mark and Dave discuss what are the implications of this change and policy and they debate, is this a good or bad thing.
https://www.businessinsider.com/maryland-hiring-workers-without-four-year-degrees-end-labor-shortage-2022-3
(48:15)Question from a listener
I heard Rick Clark and Christoph Gutenberg talk allude to it on some podcasts but we are not getting real cut-off info. The schools want thousands of applications but also want to sort some out. I want to understand how many are 'real" applications. How many are actually making it through the AI. I think that is very important data for candidates that jumped through all the hoops for highly selective colleges
Jillion from California
Question 2
Another question, what defines rigor for AI? Is it if they take calculus and physics? If so, does it have to be AP Calc and AP Physics or are any level of those courses considered rigorous?
Jillion from California
(01:21:45) Interview-Rod Skinner, the Dean of College Counseling at Milton Academy-Topic "Why is it so much harder to get into a selective college these days"- (Part 2 of 3)
Preview-Part 2
Rod continues with his answer is to the person who says, colleges are accepting, “black and brown kids” with weaker credentials than my kid, and it isn’t fair
An exercise he has families to do show how hard it is for a college to select students
The role athletics plays in admissions
The public vs private school debate, which is better for college admissions?
Rod talks about what going to college will not do for you
The difference between a transactional vs development mindset
What can be done to make the admissions process more accessible?
The difference between the access paradigm to the selectivity paradigm
The role bond ratings plays in creating the frenzy
The importance of starting with “why”
How a rising tide lift all boats applies to college admissions
Rod talks about how to push back on a family that is focused on prestige
Rod tells a powerful story from his 45th college reunion that you don’t want to miss
(01:34:30) Our recommended resource for episode 226 are the four episodes the “Hold Me Back” podcast. Episodes 16-19 are all interviews with admissions leaders that I thought were excellent. The interviews are with Christof Guttentag of Duke, Rick Clark of Georgia Tech, Johnathan Burdick of Cornell and Heath Einstein of TCU.
(01:49:04) Our College Spotlight is the University of San Diego with college counselor, Sylvia Borgo Part 2 of 2

MILTON BERLE
July 12, 1908
Milton Berle was born Milton (Mendel) Berlinger in New York City on July 12, 1908. He started performing at the age of five. He perfected his comedy in vaudeville, early silent films, and then on radio, before taking his act to the small screen, where he would be proclaimed “Mr. Television” and later “Uncle Miltie.” He hosted “Texaco Star Theater” on NBC from 1948 to 1956. The variety show was re-titled "The Milton Berle Show” in 1954 when Texaco dropped their sponsorship. The program was briefly revived in 1958, but lasted only one season. One of his classic bits was to dress in drag.
Berle won two Emmy Awards in 1950 for Most Kinescoped Personality and Best Kinescope show - a category that only existed in 1950. Here they are used as set dressing for his office on “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in 1959. Desilu also reproduced his TV Guide cover from earlier in the year. The caricature is by Al Hirschfeld. Berle received an honorary Emmy in 1979 engraved “Mr. Television”.
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz appeared on “The Milton Berle Show” on February 22, 1949, although Berle was out sick, replaced by Walter O’Keefe, delaying a Berle and Ball collaboration until 1950, when Berle hosted “Show of The Year: Cerebral Palsy Telethon” on June 10 and Lucy and Desi were guests. In the decade that followed, Berle (on NBC) and Ball (on CBS) both became the biggest stars of television.
Like Lucille Ball, Uncle Miltie had his own comic book! This is the first issue dated December 1950.
Ball and Berle returned for a second season of their respective TV shows in 1952, sharing the cover of this regional TV Guide.
Lucille Ball was atop the TV totem pole on the cover of this April 1953 TV Guide while Milton Berle stands on the shoulders of Imogene Coca and Sid Caesar, flanked by the Texaco gas pump and holding a jester’s staff. This was only the third National issue and the second to feature Lucille Ball.
‘Mr. Television’ and ‘The Queen of Comedy’ finally came together in 1959 on “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” episode “Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos” (LDCH E11). Berle plays himself, promoting his new novel “Earthquake”. As the above photo shows, Berle does his drag act while hiding out to finish his next book. That same year, Lucy and Milton both participated in a tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt on her Diamond Jubilee. It was broadcast on NBC.
Also in 1959, Lucy and Desi returned the favor by appearing on “Sunday Showcase: The Lucy-Desi Milton Berle Special” on NBC. The special was set in Las Vegas and the Arnaz’s played the Ricardos.
In December 1965, shortly after Lucy Carmichael moved to Los Angeles on “The Lucy Show,” “Lucy Saves Milton Berle” when she thinks he has taken to drink. Berle (playing himself) is doing research for a movie, and tells Lucy that the drunk she saw was actually his brother Arthur!
In payback, Lucille Ball appears on the first episode of Berle’s new variety show, “The Milton Berle Show” on September 9, 1966. The show only lasts one season.
A few weeks later, once again trading appearances, Milton Berle does a brief wordless cameo in “Lucy and John Wayne” on “The Lucy Show.”
Two seasons later, Lucy Carmichael will again meet Milton Berle for the first time in "Lucy Meets the Berles”. This time, however, she meets both Milton and his wife, Ruth Cosgrove Berle, who also plays herself.
On “Here’s Lucy,” Berle finally gets to play a character different than himself as used car dealer Cheerful Charlie in a November 1969 installment that also features his real-life brother Jack (right).
For the opening of season 24 of “The Ed Sullivan Show” Ed hosts the ‘Georgie Awards’ for Entertainer of the Year, from Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. Lucille Ball and Milton Berle are on hand to present awards.
“The 23rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards” were broadcast on NBC on . May 9, 1971. Lucy attended the Awards with her husband Gary, her daughter Lucie, and her son-in-law Phil Vandervoort. Milton Berle was also in attendance.
“Zenith Presents: A Salute to Television’s 25th Anniversary” on September 10, 1972, brought together many of the most popular names of early broadcasting and included classic film clips, kine-scopes, video tape segments, and the personal memories of those who were a vital part of entertainment history. Naturally this included Ball, Berle, and Hope.
In late 1973, the Friars Club celebrated presented “A Show Business Salute To Milton Berle”. Sammy Davis Jr. hosted with guests Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope, Kirk Douglas, Red Foxx, and Carol O’Connor.
A few months later, Berle made his only appearance on “Here’s Lucy” (once again playing himself) in “Milton Berle is the Life of the Party”. Lucy Carter bids on Berle’s appearance on a telethon in order to enliven one of her dreary parties.
When “The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast” feted Lucille Ball in 1975, Milton Berle was one of the many colleagues on hand to roast and toast the Queen of Comedy.
While America was celebrating its bicentennial in 1976, the National Broadcast Corporation was celebrating 50 years in show business with “NBC: The First 50 Years.” Naturally, “Mr. Television” (an NBC star) and Lucille Ball (then very associated with CBS) were there to mark the occasion. A few days later, CBS honored Lucille Ball for a quarter century of television with “CBS Salutes Lucy: The First 25 Years”. Berle hopped over to the Tiffany Network to help pay tribute.
Less than a month later, Lucy and Milton were back on “The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast” to rib their mutual friend Danny Thomas, who spent time on both NBC and CBS during his career.
On March 26, 1978, Lucille Ball, Joey Bishop, George Carlin, Johnny Carson, Angie Dickinson, Kirk Douglas, Jim Henson, Bob Hope, Gabe Kaplan, Gene Kelly, Donny and Marie Osmond, Gregory Peck, and Carl Reiner were all on hand for “A Tribute to Mr. Television, Milton Berle”.
Lucy and Milton were back in Vegas for yet another “Dean Martin Celebrity Roast” to honor actor Jimmy Stewart in 1979.
In 1980, Lucy and Miltie were present for “Sinatra: The First 40 Years” at Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas.
“Bob Hope’s 30th Anniversary Television Special” on January 18, 1981, was a retrospect of Bob Hope’s first 30 years on TV. Celebrating with Bob are guests Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, George Burns, Sammy Davis Jr., and many others.
Milton Berle (in drag) joined Lucille Ball for “Bob Hope’s Women I Love - Beautiful But Funny” on February 28, 1982. Other than Bob, Milton was the only other biological male in the show!
Appropriately, Milton Berle and Lucille Ball were among the first inductees into “The First Annual Television Academy Hall of Fame Awards” on March 4, 1984. Steve Allen introduces Berle while Carol Burnett does the honors for Ball.
That same year “Bob Hope’s Unrehearsed Antics of the Stars”. Ball tells Hope about her disastrous audition for Gone With the Wind.
Berle and Ball (now an NBC employee) are there for the special “Bob Hope Buys NBC?” in 1985. Former President Gerald Ford also makes an appearance!
As President of the Friars Club, Milton Berle was present for most all of their events, including their tribute to Gene Kelly in late 1985. Lucille Ball and Gary Morton also attending the honoring.
Lucille Ball was a presenter at “The 38th Primetime Emmy Awards” on September 21, 1986. Milton Berle was also in attendance.
The final performance of Lucille Ball on television was in “Happy Birthday, Bob: 50 Stars Salute Your 50 Years at NBC” on May 16, 1988. She sang “Comedy is No Joke”. Milton Berle was also in attendance.
For the “AFI Life Achievement Award: A Salute to Jack Lemmon” on March 10, 1988 The audience is full of celebrity friends, including including Lucille Ball and Milton Berle.
“The Princess Grace Foundation Special Gala Tribute to Cary Grant” on October 19, 1988. Lucille Ball attends with her husband, Gary Morton. Milton Berle is also there.
This would be the last time Ball and Berle shared the same television marquee. Lucille Ball died six months later. A week before her passing, Ruth Cosgrove Berle died. In 1991, he married again to Lorna Adams. They remained married until Milton Berle died of colon cancer in 2002 at age 93.
“I live to laugh, and I laugh to live.” ~ Milton Berle

The Blacklist: Season 1
Alright, just finished up my re-watch and it seems clear to me that Season 1 is ALL ABOUT Reddington being Lizzie’s real dad. Nearly every case is either explicitly about fathers and children, (The Pilot, Frederick Barnes, The Good Samaritan, The Alchemist, The Cyprus Agency) or father/child relationships are brought up in moments of stress (The Stewmaker, The Courier) or we get familial relationships as important and how those relationships impact our decision making, think the brother in Mako Tanida, all the weird family things with Ivan, How Milton Bobbit exploits family relationships to get people to commit murder, this happens again in the first Berlin episode, also the way the politician uses his family in The Kingmaker. Clearly, we are meant to understand that FAMILY and especially FATHERS are important.
Incredibly, there is not one single mention of Elizabeth Keen’s mother, it’s as if she does not have one. She has only father’s, all of whom would appear to be dead. (The treatment of mother’s in this first season is very strange. In The Good Samaritan the first victim we meet is a mother who beats her son, she is not a good mom and therefore dies. The second episode, while not explicitly about mothers, is about a woman who saves women from sex trafficking, I believe she refers to these girls as her children at one point, but then we learn that she’s actually the boss of the worst sex trafficking ring ever! Father’s make complicated and bad decisions out of a blind need to protect their children, but they all come off better than the 2 moms that we get. Very odd.)
I get the feeling that in this first season they had not yet planned on the Reddington isn’t Reddington plot line, and they also seem to strongly suggest that he is in fact Lizzie’s father. In later seasons we are told he is not in fact Reddington, that the real Reddington is dead (but then where did our Reddington get the burn scars on his back?) In later seasons we are also told that he is not Lizzie’s father, but it seems pretty clear from this first season that he is her parent, so did they change their minds or will I find there is continuity as I continue my rewatch?
The big question here is that Red tells Lizzie at the end of this season that SAM’S male friend dropped off his daughter, but we know from Mr. Kaplan’s memories (I want to say but we’ll see when we get there) that KATARINA is the one who dropped off Lizzie with Sam. Reddington is not to be trusted, he’s the most unreliable “narrator” ever, but Mr. Kaplan I find to be pretty trustworthy, so what is the truth? Is Reddington changing the story here to protect Katarina or to protect Lizzie from Katarina b/c Katarina is actually a horrible person?
I’m curious to see if I can tell where they decided to change the story as I rewatch or if I am suppose to continue believing the information we were given in the first season is accurate.....
#the blacklist#rewatch#I am very committed to my hypothesis about Reddington actually being Katarina#but#There's so many layers! I think this rewatch will be very productive#or incredibly frustrating

Gas Rations? Use Naphtha!
During WWII, the U.S. Office of Price Administration (OPA) rationed gas to assist in the war effort. Massive gasoline shortages, combined with a desire to conserve rubber, led to a system in which gas cards and stickers were distributed to those who could justify a need. A-level card holders, the lowest priority, and the bulk of motorists, were entitled to 3 to 4 gallons of gasoline per week. Military industry workers, doctors, mail carriers, and other VIPs were granted larger rations.
Use of naphtha, a synthetic fuel, was also limited by the OPA, nevertheless, unrationed naphtha, an expensive and troublesome fuel source, was common. In 1945, Minneapolis filling stations were selling more stove naphtha than regular rationed gasoline--the naphtha going to motorists who resisted gas rationing. Though not intended for use in cars, the fuel could be used in cars “under the most advantageous conditions,” according to the OPA.
One Minneapolis naphtha-burning motorist relayed his routine to the Morning Tribune: “When he leaves his car for any lengthy period, he removes the spark plugs, cleans them and puts them on a radiator. When he wants to start the car again he rushes the warm plugs back into their places. It’s a little messy, he admits, but better than walking to the corner grocery store or riding a streetcar downtown.” (Minneapolis Morning Tribune, February 4, 1945)
Gas rationing ended in states beginning in August, 1945.
Photos of Minneapolis Sunday Tribune reporter Milton Kaplan purchasing motor ether and naphtha from Leonard Skeleny, service station operator, February 4, 1945. Photos from the Newspaper Photograph Collection in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.

Here’s where I stand with the whole Travel Agency storyline.
Tom would’ve had serious medical bills from being in the ER. Higher than some can imagine. Bills don’t die when people do. Liz was in a coma. This left Red or Scottie to take care of them. Either way, one would have to expect Scottie went to the hospital to take care of those charges because she wouldn’t be checking Liz’s mail on the regular. Red wouldn’t have that, and Scottie runs Halcyon.
Red in charge of Liz’s mail. The bills start to come. After all, Liz was in a coma for ten months. Tom with his numerous aliases. Aliases that he unpacked when they moved into that apartment and he spoke of their new beginning. Those aliases get paid as they work. If he’s working against Red, he’s not using his Tom Keen identity to do it. He wouldn’t have Red or Liz trace that back to him. Ressler’s deleted scene from S2, talking about Tom being in trouble and he’s gonna bring that trouble to her. Next thing you know, Red got shot. Yeah ... Ressler putting a flag on all of Tom’s aliases, stated in-episode.
The Travel Agency wife learned of her husband through his private account. So yes, I consider it heavily. Peter hiring Tom to help put that bullet in Red’s chest. A transaction that would show on his bank statement for that alias. He needs his passports. You want me gone, give me my passports and you’ll never see me again. After all, I’m gonna buy a boat. Clearly not able to get to any other cash. He’s picking pockets. He apparently doesn’t have a go-box at this point because he doesn’t think. Red is always ready. Gone in less than 60 seconds. So yeah ... Peter’s transaction that assisted Tom in buying his boat. Doesn’t matter if Liz goes with him or not, he can’t stay. Why? Because Peter conned him, then told him he had to leave. He wouldn’t want Tom around for what he was about to do to Liz. Peter couldn’t take the risk of him trying to save her like he did during the Harbormaster trial. That makes sense.
Then you have Dr. Krilov’s memory manipulation. He’s gonna want some kind of down payment if he’s taking a trip to the US. No way would he waste his time. Even Kaplan knew well enough to buy him lunch and strike a deal in Vienna. Insert the photo of Krilov and Kate having lunch. After all, Liz did warn him that she was headed to Vienna. Tom doesn’t have that option. He doesn’t have the time. Red survived, and Liz learned of his involvement. Understanding that Red getting shot was part of the plan to frame Liz. You take out her #1 protector, then you take her out. You leave Red alive, you’re risking the same as you would in allowing Tom to stay - only worse. Red is quite powerful, and he doesn’t give a damn who you are. Liz learning Tom was involved in part of their plan to frame her, she’d want to kill him as much as Red would in learning Tom helped put the bullet in his chest. Tom couldn’t have that. Dr. Krilov in your bank statement.
And you can keep going. If these aliases were the ones Red spoke about from back in Milton Bobbit’s episode, they may very well go as far back as Fokin’s murder. Bank records can go back as far as 7 years. Some, maybe even longer, depending on the branch and their service. If S2 took place in 2015, which I believe it did, then his bank statements could go as far back as 2008. Goodie. Now, imagine Constantin Rostov having hired Tom to locate and return the woman he believed to be his daughter. More financial transactions. After all, Tom and Liz didn’t meet until July of 2010. If the aliases Red spoke about in Milton Bobbit, would likely only cover as far back as the Fokin murder. Either way, until his death, these aliases could be on file within the banking system, having recorded every transaction for that alias. This could very well cover the reason Red reentered Liz’s life, since he turned himself into the FBI in 2013. Krilov, Peter, Fokin, Gina, even Jolene’s bar tab. Perhaps Constantin, perhaps Tom’s bachelor party, perhaps when he claimed he was heading to a job interview. Name whatever you like, it’d be in their system.
Tom was a man of many truths. One of the first things Red said to Liz after she woke from her coma and returned home from the woods. Will you be able to forgive yourself? Forgive yourself after you’ve sought vengeance for Tom’s death?
I take this back to 5x6, head to 1x7, shoot to S6, then end up back at the pilot.
Eleanor: You can’t imagine how angry and afraid I was to find out that the man that I loved, the father of my children, was a monster.
As I’m thinking, that private account the Travel Agency wife found could very well have been for one of her husband’s aliases.
Liz: It's just that someone invaded our lives, our house. They put that stupid box in the floor. They made me believe you were a monster. I doubted you. I doubted us.
Liz and Tom still considering adoption, only now - she has Agnes. The box that contained Tom’s passports. Aliases that I believe got paid. And, btw, back to the Takoma Park house. As I suspect, Agnes’ hit will parallel that tragedy. Will she be able to forgive herself now?
Red: That they’d put me on trial, sentence me to death? That surprised you?
Red close to death, hoping someone will answer the phone.
Red: But if I die you’ll never know the truth about your husband.
Liz: You know nothing about my husband.
I’d have to disagree.
Red: Tom was a man of [many] truths.
Red’s suitcase truth was [one].
Although technically, three: Raymond, Ilya, and Katarina.
Still nothing compared to many.
I can guarantee Liz didn’t learn everything. Tom’s statement before the Red Wedding confirms that. Liz doesn’t know the story behind Gina Zanetakos.
Disappointment. Impaled by a unicorn. And if you think Red can’t track Tom’s bank records because he’s neither Tom or Liz, don’t be silly. Red is .... Red.

Should You Invest in An Inground Swimming Pool for Your House?
Do you have an inground swimming pool for your home, or are you still wondering whether you need one? If we think about investing in an inground pool, many questions come to mind, such as how much an inground pool costs, whether it is worth the money, and so much more.
An inground pool can be a fabulous addition to your home, where you can relax and gather with your friends, family and loved ones and unwind after the stress of a work day. Sounds delightful. Well, if you want an inground swimming pool in Lafayette LA, here are some factors that you should know to make an educated choice.
Does An Inground Swimming Pool in Lafayette LA Affect Real Estate Value?
A common question that is asked regarding inground pools is whether it impacts the value of your property. Over the years, it has been reflected that building a well-built, and well-maintained inground pool can increase property value considerably.
But to guarantee you get the right valuation, you must assure that the pool you have is well kept. In competitive markets, poorly maintained pool can be the cause why you are not getting you are not getting offers that you desire.
How Much Does an Inground Pool Cost?
Building an inground pool is a costly project to undertake. So before investing in an inground pool, you should consider the cost of an inground pool. The cost of an inground pool, including installation, filling, and equipping, starts at around $ 30,000. The cost can also increase depending on the details you choose to add, such as safety fences, lighting, water features, landscaping and more. Adding details is in your control, and you can increase or decrease the elements you wish, depending on your budget.
The primary cost comes from the material you want to build your pool. The standard material for an inground pool is gunite. They are the most used because of their low price and ability to be poured into any shape.
Another alternative is a fibreglass shell. They are cheaper, but the downside is that they need to be changed every ten years.
Why Pick Costa Pools for Your Inground Swimming Pool?
