    April 22, 2025 - By 

    On Tuesday, the expected was confirmed, as the WNBA transactions page updated to show that Paige Bueckers has officially signed her rookie-scale contract with the Dallas Wings. As with every rookie contract under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, Bueckers is now on an unguaranteed contract for three years, with a fourth-year team option. Even when the new CBA is signed for the 2026 season, Bueckers will stay on this contract until it expires. Unless the Dallas Wings waive her before then… which would be a Luka-Doncic-trade-level outrage in Dallas, and thankfully is an ignominous fate Bueckers and Dallas fans are…

    Why do people pay for expensive financial advisors?

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    Derek Sivers famously once said “If [more] information was the answer, then we’d all be billionaires with perfect abs.” But that’s not human beings work. It’s usually not about information but human behavior. And our lizard brains, as much as we don’t like to admit it, are in control. And that’s the big reason why financial advisors are able to charge a percentage of assets under management.

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    Image by Alexander Mils Money may not be the most romantic topic, but it has a powerful impact on the health of any relationship. Even couples who are deeply committed can find themselves at odds when financial stress enters the picture. What starts as a minor disagreement over spending can quietly snowball into deep resentment, miscommunication, or even a complete breakdown of trust. Financial incompatibility doesn’t always show up in the beginning. Early on, many couples sweep it under the rug, assuming love will override any monetary tension. But over time, persistent financial sore spots tend to reveal themselves, and…

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    The Institutes’ Pete Miller and Francis Bouchard of Marsh McLennan discuss how AI is transforming property/casualty insurance as the industry attacks the climate crisis. “Climate” is not a popular word in Washington, D.C., today, so it would take a certain audacity to hold an event whose title prominently includes it in the heart of the U.S. Capitol. And that’s exactly what ClimateTech Connect did last week. For two days, expert panels at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center discussed climate-related risks – from flood, wind, and wildfire to extreme heat and cold – and the role of technology…

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    Most people don’t think much about their appendix until something goes wrong with it. Appendicitis, or inflammation of the appendix, might make a doctor order emergency abdominal surgery. But that doesn’t mean everyone needs to have their appendix removed. There’s an ongoing debate in the medical community about whether surgery is always necessary. What Does The Appendix Do?
