| SDSU vs. Nevada: Key Plays & DeGourvilles Impact |
| Posted on Thursday, January 08 @ 00:01:07 PST (3 reads) | |
|
|
Reno, nev. – Three thoughts on san diego state’s 73-68 win at nevada on tuesday night:
1. The timeouts you get four timeouts in college basketball. Sdsu coach brian dutcher used three tuesday, and all three tilted the outcome of a tight affair.
the first came just 3:52 in the game and the aztecs down 12-2. The under-16 media timeout was seconds away, and his usual preference is to save them, letting his team sort through problems on its own early in games.
“we weren’t playing very well,” dutcher said. “I wanted to get a timeout and not panic but let them know, ‘come on, we’ve got to move better, we’ve got to spread them, we’ve got to be more active.’”
the aztecs listened, and outscored the wolf pack 19-11 over the next seven minutes and climbing back in the game.
his second timeout came with 3:34 left and the aztecs trailing by one, despite the next stoppage bringing a media timeout. But dutcher’s team had scored on only one of its previous three possessions, and he had a set play in mind that required getting magoon gwath on the floor.
the timeout allowed him to sub in the 7-foot gwath for 6-1 sean newman jr., Switching from a four-guard, one-big lineup to three guards and two bigs. Nevada either didn’t recognize it or did and opted not to counter by subbing in a forward of its own, keeping its small lineup on the floor.
the play had gwath inbounding on the far sideline to bj davis, who passes to miles byrd at the top of the key. Gwath then heads to the block to set a screen for a curling reese dixon-waters.
so it’s designed to get dixon-waters a jumper?
nope. Gwath slips the screen and positions himself for a lob from byrd.
it’s a play sdsu has run before and nevada no doubt scouted. But the wolf pack likely repped it in practice with a forward covering gwath, not 6-3 guard amire robinson.
robinson got confused, tried to switch onto the curling dixon-waters while his defender, chuck bailey iii, also trailed him to the wing, leaving gwath alone under the basket for an easy dunk.
“we scored on it twice the year before against them,” dutcher said. “It’s a play, to be honest, i run away from the opposition’s bench. Their whole bench was up, yelling: ‘lob!’ But when the play is going on, these guys at this end can’t hear it. The coaches knew it was coming, but unfortunately – fortunately for us – their players didn’t recognize the play and we got goon a dunk out of a timeout, which was really important.”
his third timeout, with 2:07 left in a one-point game, was expended for a coach’s video challenge on a possible flagrant foul against the wolf pack. In reality, it had little chance of being granted and dutcher was merely buying a longer break than a 30-second timeout. The real purpose was to tweak their ball screen defense.
the aztecs had been switching the point guard-center ball screens, which put guards on 6-9 bouncy nevada forward elijah price under the basket. That led to numerous offensive rebounds and fouls on price (he shot 12 free throws in the second half alone). Dutcher and his staff took off the switch, keeping 6-9 miles heide on price.
what happens?
nevada turns it over on its next two possessions and doesn’t make a basket in its final five.
2. Taj when dutcher put freshman guard elzie harrington into the starting lineup in the sixth game and demoted sophomore taj degourville , he used davis as an example for what degourville faced, noting the junior guard had worked through his disappointment about not starting and “came out the other side.”
now degourville appears to be coming out of the other side.
he had arguably his best game of the season: 10 points, six rebounds and two assists and a team-best plus-11 points in his 20 minutes on the floor.
“you just have to fight your way to the other side,” dutcher said. “He played well against boise (on saturday). We just didn’t get him in down the stretch, coach’s decision. But he’s played a couple good games in a row.
“he’s just a sophomore who is getting better. He’s in his second year. All the stuff he’s worked on for two years is starting to show in games. Not as many mistakes defensively. He had to major in the minor to be good. He’s doing all the little things better, and that’s all it takes.”
degourville credited a newfound aggression and “looking at the rim more” with flipping the switch. He took nine shots, his most since the season opener against long beach state, back when he was starting after winning the job during the slog of summer and fall practice.
“this is just one game,” degourville said. “Now i’ve got to do it again and again and again. Just staying strong mentally, to be honest. Anything can happen in any game, so it’s just being ready when my number’s called.
“sometimes i feel like i’m a little passive, and today i played more aggressive and it opened up the game for me and my teammates.”
3. A new home viejas arena is 28 years old. That’s one of the newest basketball venues in the mountain west.
four date to 1970 or earlier. Four others opened in the 1980s.
but just as sdsu is leaving, the conference is scheduled to get a sparkling new one. On sept. 30, reno’s grand sierra resort broke ground on a $435 million arena that will replace 42-year-old lawlor events center as the home of nevada basketball.
the initial plan was to be ready for next season. That has been revised to 2027-28.
the project will receive nearly $70 million in tax-increment financing that created a stir among rival casino properties in reno and was ultimately approved in a 5-2 vote last may by the city’s redevelopment agency.
mountain west commissioner gloria nevarez spoke at the public board meeting, saying: “i think reno deserves a venue like this and deserves this national attention.”
it is projected to seat 10,000 — about 1,000 fewer than lawlor, which is beginning to show its age and had become a seasonal home for bats (that occasionally dive-bombed spectators and players during games) before a recent deterrent campaign seemed to work.
lawlor, however, is across the street from thousands of student residences. Grand sierra resort is four miles away on the opposite side of downtown, about a 10-minute drive that could reduce already struggling student support.
and the wolf pack are stuck in the mountain west as sdsu and four others join a relaunched pac-12 next season that, with the addition of gonzaga, should be a far superior basketball league.
“for us, it is about our opportunity as an athletics program to move forward,” athletic director stephanie rempe said at the may meeting. “And this is something that allows us to do things that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to do. You’ve heard me say this forever: it’s about creating a college town and getting this community behind it, behind us.
“there’s nothing that brings a community together like sports, and it helps us move the needle.” |

| Beshear unveils Kentucky budget with new spending on pre-K, housing, health care |
| Posted on Thursday, January 08 @ 00:01:07 PST (4 reads) | |

By sylvia goodman joe sonka ,
3 hours ago
kentucky gov. Andy beshear gives his seventh state of the commonwealth on jan. 7, 2025. (Sylvia goodman / kpr ) gov. Andy beshear said in his annual state of the commonwealth address wednesday evening that kentucky’s economy is still booming, but faces new headwinds due to federal shifts.
the democratic governor called for several major investments in the next two-year state budget that would fund new affordable housing, aid struggling rural hospitals, fund a new universal pre-k program and support kentucky food banks.
while beshear said the state of the commonwealth is strong, and touted economic growth, he also decried federal policy under the trump administration.
“but often on sunny days, there are storm clouds on the horizon,” beshear said. “Bad tariff and trade policy are impacting our national economy, slowing or pausing many projects, and other states are shedding both investments and jobs.”
governors normally give their annual address to a joint session of lawmakers in the house chamber of the capitol building, which is now closed for major renovations. Beshear instead spoke at the thomas d. Clark center for kentucky history to lawmakers and invited guests — though the top republican leaders of the house and senate chose not to attend.
this was the last budget address from beshear, who is term limited, though he did make one offhand reference to his aspirations to run for president in 2028.
beshear’s budget ask, with roughly $16 billion in annual spending, will face hurdles as the general assembly’s republican supermajority crafts its own budget plan in the 2026 session, which kicked off tuesday . Gop house speaker david osborne of prospect told reporters wednesday they have not yet finalized their bill and it is unlikely to be filed this week.
beshear said the national affordability crisis requires responding with $500 million in various funds to encourage more affordable housing, assist struggling rural hospitals, alleviate increased health insurance costs from expired federal tax credits on affordable care act plans and pay for utility costs for low-income kentuckians.
“while most dreams at night are short, the american dream is about a long, healthy life where you raise your kids and eventually spoil your grandkids,” beshear said. “That’s why we’ve continued efforts to expand health care to keep our people healthy and happy.”
beshear’s proposal would draw $900 million over two years from the state’s budget reserve trust fund. This “rainy day fund” has ballooned in recent years and closed out the last fiscal year at $3.76 billion in june 2025.
the fund is forecast to sit at 24% of annual spending by the end june 2026, but beshear’s plan would reduce it to 17%. The government finance officers association recommends states set aside at minimum 16% of general fund spending.
kentucky gov. Andy beshear gives his seventh state of the commonwealth on jan. 7, 2025. (Sylvia goodman / kpr) osborne and gop senate president robert stivers from manchester issued a joint statement after beshear’s address. Neither attended the speech in person, although they wrote they “appreciate the governor’s comments.”
“kentucky is well positioned because of the sound, fiscally responsible policies enacted by republican supermajorities — often overriding gubernatorial vetoes to do so,” osborne and stivers wrote. “These policies have produced a record budget reserve trust fund and allowed us to responsibly lower the state income tax. Our legislative focus will remain on protecting core investments, ensuring responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, and avoiding commitments the commonwealth cannot sustain.”
a few members of the republican supermajority were in attendance at the wednesday night address, including sen. Phillip wheeler from pikeville. Wheeler said the governor’s job is ultimately to execute the policies and budget passed by the general assembly, not the other way around. He also blasted beshear for criticizing president donald trump’s tariff policies.
“make no mistake that the policymakers of kentucky are, in fact, the members of the kentucky general assembly, and were driving the train,” wheeler said.
beshear’s proposal also begins to brace for impending federal cuts and cost shifting. He requested more than $100 million over two years to pay for shifted administrative costs for the federal supplemental nutrition assistance program, formerly known as food stamps. It’s a lower cost than previously estimated. Beshear’s budget assumes the state’s snap error rate will fall below the threshold established in the giant federal tax and spending bill passed earlier this year that would’ve cost the state even more federal funds.
because beshear said he expects food insecurity to increase thanks to increased work requirements for snap recipients, he also called for $50 million to aid feeding kentucky, a network of food banks that serve every kentucky county.
“actions by the trump administration to the snap program are going to result in soaring costs and 114,000 kentuckians are going to go hungry from losing their food assistance,” beshear said. “We can’t let that happen.”
beshear pushes hard for universal pre-k beshear is again renewing his push for a universal pre-k program , although at a significantly lower cost than he had asked for in previous budgets. The governor’s budget called for $40.5 million in the fiscal year beginning july 2027 for the “initial phase” of his pre-k for all program, which would be implemented over several years.
“for those that say pre-k for all is political, let me remind you: 4-year-olds can’t vote. They aren’t registered,” beshear said. “So if you’re against this because you think it gives me a win, what you’re really doing is handing these kids a loss.”
there will be several different versions of the universal pre-k program proposed in the legislature over the course of the session; for example, one version would allow districts to opt-in as their capabilities allow and another would start with lower income students and slowly allow high income families to join the program over time.
beshear said his program could be paid for out of sports wagering tax revenue alone, although those are currently allocated to pay down the pension debt. Despite beshear’s campaigning over the last year, republican leadership has so far appeared unmoved. Osborne said wednesday afternoon that they have yet to see a detailed proposal.
“i cant tell you how it would be received, or what it would look like. The governor has yet to give us one ounce of detail on any request that he may make,” osborne said. “The few times that he communicated with us, we do listen. Doesnt mean we always do it, but we do listen.”
stivers said earlier this week he remains uninterested in such a program and is skeptical of the purported benefits.
“we are looking at various things to deal with the childcare issue, but i do not think itll be universal pre-k, because we believe it is a flawed concept,” stivers said.
just as beshear has requested a smaller sum to start his pre-k program, he has also requested lawmakers fund a raise for all teachers — a 3% salary increase starting july 1 compared to the 11% salary increase he called for, but did not obtain, in the last budget cycle. Beshear also called on lawmakers to reverse a 2025 change to how educators pay into the retirement system that he says would give teachers back 3.75% of their paychecks.
more funds for economic development, as ev battery plant closes beshear touted economic development gains over the last several years, saying kentucky has become an “economic powerhouse.”
but it’s also been a difficult few weeks after ford announced it was closing its massive electric-vehicle battery manufacturing plants in glendale , which beshear touted for years as the crown jewel of his economic development achievements.
that’s after the state provided an upfront $250 million loan that would be forgiven should the company, which was initially a joint venture between ford and south korea’s sk on, hit certain employment targets it will almost certainly fail to meet. Ford now plans to convert the plants to building battery storage products and hopes to hire back some of the 1,600 laid off workers when they reopen in two years.
even with this major setback to beshear’s biggest economic achievements, the governor said he needs more money to draw companies to the state. He proposed $70 million for site development and $100 million to attract “mega projects” to the state.
“we know a simple truth: there ain’t nothing democrat or republican about a good job,” beshear said.
before beshear’s address, stivers took a shot at the governor, saying his only successful economic proposal has been landing the glendale plants, “and thats now become the biggest boondoggle of economic recruitment in the states history.”
“we gave him what he wanted, worked with him to do that,” stivers said. “So we kind of want to see from the governors office how they as the executive branch are going to claw back this money that we fronted.”
stivers and osborne both harkened back to former gov. Matt bevin’s touting braidy industries’ proposed $1.7 billion aluminum rolling mill in ashland, which was abandoned before construction even started.
“i dont put it on the governor any more than he put the failure of braidy on gov. Bevin,” osborne said.
osborne said everyone hopes for the best on ford’s glendale plant, noting they invested billions of dollars in building the plants and will spend billions more retooling them to produce different battery storage products.
“thats all great for our sales tax numbers, but it doesnt do anything to put jobs in there,” osborne said. “And i think the big metric will be if those jobs come back — and i believe they will, but as of right now, we dont know.”
beshear hints at presidential run in final budget address the governor’s address repeatedly touted the success of kentucky as an example for the nation, and at least once hinted at his flirtation with running for president in 2028 .
“this is my seventh state of commonwealth and my last budget address — in this job,” beshear said, drawing laughs and applause from the audience, made up mostly of supporters.
beshear criticized president donald trump’s tariffs, cuts to federal programs and “bullying” as part of the challenges kentucky is dealing with, contrasting that with success kentucky has had through “finding common ground.”
“folks around our country are no longer looking down on kentucky, they’re looking up to us,” beshear said. “They are looking to find hope beyond the chaos. And they’re finding that hope right here.”
republican secretary of state michael adams — the only gop constitutional officer to attend the speech — told reporters afterward that it seemed like the speech of a 2028 presidential candidate.
“it’s not all criticism, i think its good to have people running for president talking about opportunity. We need people running for governor in a year talking about opportunity, as well,” said adams, who himself is considering a run for governor next year.
beshear wants investments in reentry programs, juvenile justice and more beshear also laid out plans in his address and an earlier budget briefing to fund specific projects related to juvenile justice, education and foster care. Here are some of those proposals:
two new female-only juvenile justice facilities to aid in the separation of violent and non-violent youth offenders as well as a “high-acuity” youth facility for detained kids with the most severe mental health and medical issues. A new facility, in partnership with the kentucky community & technical college system, to provide intensive reentry services and education at the northpoint trainer center. New drivers testing locations. Funding for relative and fictive kin foster care reimbursements to implement senate bill 151, which passed with bipartisan support in 2024. Lawmakers have expressed much frustration over beshear’s refusal to implement the legislation without a specific appropriation. A 2% increase for all state employees, starting on july 1 each year. |

| Power Couples and Social Capital: How Relationships Multiply Wealth |
| Posted on Thursday, January 08 @ 00:01:07 PST (3 reads) | |
|
|
She married for love. The $500 million was a side effect of structure. He built his network at charity galas. The deal flow was worth fifty times the ticket price. They divorced after eleven years. The unwinding revealed architecture no one knew existed.
wealth doesn’t compound in isolation. The mythology of self-made success obscures a more interesting reality: relationships multiply wealth in ways individual achievement cannot replicate. Strategic marriages combine networks and assets. Elite social circles provide deal flow invisible to outsiders. Divorce proceedings reveal financial architecture that prosperity kept hidden. Women architect generational transfers that male-focused narratives ignore.
understanding how power couples and social capital actually function requires abandoning romantic notions about both love and success. The economics of relationships operate on principles most people never examine. Those who understand these principles build differently than those who don’t.
this guide maps the complete architecture of relationship-driven wealth creation—from marriage mechanics to network economics, from divorce strategy to dynastic succession. The patterns apply whether your net worth is $5 million or $500 million. The principles scale. The leverage compounds.
the relationship wealth thesis
individual success has a ceiling. You can only work so many hours, know so many people, access so many opportunities through personal effort alone. Relationships remove that ceiling by multiplying rather than adding.
two networks combined don’t simply double in size—they cross-pollinate, creating connection possibilities that neither contained independently. Two asset bases merged don’t just add together—they enable larger plays requiring combined capital. Two reputations aligned don’t merely coexist—they create social proof that opens doors neither could access alone.
the math of relationship wealth differs from individual wealth math. Addition becomes multiplication. Linear growth becomes exponential. Time horizons extend from careers to generations.
| individual wealth building | relationship wealth building |
|---|---|
| personal network of ~500 meaningful contacts | combined network of 1,000+ with cross-pollination multiplier |
| single income stream, single risk profile | diversified streams, distributed risk |
| one reputation, one industry positioning | complementary positioning across sectors |
| career-length time horizon | multigenerational time horizon |
| limited deal flow through personal access | expanded deal flow through combined access |
family offices formalize this relationship advantage. The structure exists precisely because coordinated wealth management across family relationships compounds faster than fragmented individual approaches. The office doesn’t just manage money—it manages the relationship infrastructure that generates opportunity flow.
how marriage multiplies net worth
the romantic narrative treats marriage as a personal choice with financial consequences. The economic narrative inverts this: marriage is a financial architecture with personal dimensions. Both perspectives contain truth. Neither alone captures how strategic partnerships actually compound wealth.
george and amal clooney combined hollywood access with international law credibility. Their networks span studio executives, foreign ministers, human rights institutions, and european aristocracy. A dinner at villa oleandra might include deal-making potential that neither partner could generate independently.
beyoncé and jay-z represent cultural capital multiplication—their combined $2.5 billion fortune reflects not just entertainment earnings but the compounding effect of joint appearances, coordinated business ventures, and social proof that exceeds what either commands alone.
the complete analysis of marriage wealth multiplication examines six specific mechanisms: asset consolidation enabling larger plays, tax efficiency through coordinated estate planning, network fusion creating exponential connection possibilities, risk distribution across diversified income streams, social capital stacking that opens doors neither partner could access alone, and deal flow through combined family office networks.
the hilton architecture
rick and kathy hilton’s $350 million fortune demonstrates marriage multiplication despite inheritance denial. When barron hilton directed 97% of his fortune to charity, the family received approximately $5.6 million split among twenty-four heirs—essentially nothing at dynastic scale.
rather than inheriting, rick and kathy built together. His real estate expertise combined with her social positioning created opportunities neither could access independently. Her southampton presence generated relationship capital that converted to his transaction flow. Their children—paris building a $300 million independent fortune, nicky navigating strategic marriage positioning, barron ii now co-leading the family brokerage—extended partnership multiplication across generations.
the pattern repeats across hollywood power couples and finance dynasties alike: complementary positioning multiplies faster than overlapping positioning. Two partners in the same industry create redundancy. Two partners in different industries create multiplication.
power couples who quietly control entire industries
the most influential couples never appear on the same magazine cover. Their power operates through architecture most observers never see: parallel board positions, complementary philanthropic networks, and geographic positioning that concentrates decision-making within specific social ecosystems.
meadow lane in southampton stretches five miles along the oceanfront. This single street may contain more collective net worth than most countries. More significantly, the couples residing there exercise coordinated influence across american finance through weekend interactions that shape monday decisions.
the complete mapping of industry-controlling couples examines how complementary positioning—one public-facing partner, one behind-the-scenes operator—creates influence invisible to casual observation. When one spouse runs a $50 billion fund while the other chairs a major museum board, information flows across their dinner table that neither industry generates independently.
geographic strategy as influence infrastructure
the hamptons wealth geography isn’t accidental. Finance concentrates in southampton’s oceanfront. Entertainment clusters around east hampton’s georgica pond. Creative industries gravitate toward sag harbor’s village character. Strategic couples position themselves within these clusters to access specific networks.
understanding who lives where reveals how real estate functions as relationship infrastructure. The property isn’t consumption—it’s a production facility for influence. Steven spielberg and kate capshaw’s georgica pond compound represents decades of entertainment industry relationship development. Jerry and jessica seinfeld’s further lane estate combines his entertainment network with her philanthropic access through good+ foundation.
the couples who understand this don’t simply buy expensive properties. They position within geographies that provide access to target networks. The hamptons summer presence many dismiss as leisure actually represents strategic relationship infrastructure investment.
why social circles matter more than résumés
his harvard mba opened doors. His southampton membership opened vaults.
the meritocracy myth suggests that credentials create opportunity. The network reality demonstrates that access creates opportunity, and credentials merely establish permission to access. The distinction matters enormously for how sophisticated wealth builders allocate time and resources.
sociologists call this “weak tie theory.” Strong ties—close friends and family—provide emotional support but redundant information. Everyone in your close circle knows what you know. Weak ties—acquaintances, professional contacts, social connections—bridge different networks, providing novel information and opportunities that close relationships cannot.
the complete analysis of social circle economics examines how the best opportunities never reach public markets. The best deals close before announcement. The highest-returning investments flow through relationships, not job boards. Understanding this reality reshapes how strategic wealth builders invest in relationship development.
the charity gala return on investment
she spent $50,000 on charity tables last summer. She closed $15 million in deals.
this mathematics confuses those who view charitable giving as pure philanthropy. Sophisticated participants understand charity galas as relationship infrastructure with charitable benefits attached.
the complete hamptons events calendar structures these interactions across the summer season. Ross school gala kicks off with a forbes-directory guest list. Southampton hospital’s annual summer party unites real estate developers, hedge fund managers, fashion designers, and technology entrepreneurs under elegant tents. The elite social calendar provides the roadmap; strategic navigation requires understanding which events provide access to which networks.
wealthy people network differently than popular imagination suggests. They prioritize quality over quantity, seeking authentic connection rather than transactional exchange. They invest in relationships long before seeking returns. The best hamptons events for high-net-worth networking reward this approach—patience and genuine relationship development outperform aggressive business card distribution.
divorce, prenups, and the economics of elite breakups
the prenup was 47 pages. The marriage lasted 11 years. The unwinding took 7.
elite divorce economics reveals wealth architecture in ways no other life event can match. Court filings expose hidden structures. Settlement terms demonstrate what sophisticated planning anticipated. Legal battles reveal what inadequate preparation left vulnerable.
brad pitt’s divorce from angelina jolie initiated one of entertainment history’s most complex dissolutions. Legal fees reportedly exceeded $15 million. Château miraval—their jointly-owned french estate producing award-winning rosé—became a battleground demonstrating how operating businesses complicate personal dissolution.
jeff and mackenzie bezos demonstrated alternative architecture. Their $38 billion transfer—then history’s largest divorce settlement—completed in approximately four months. The speed reflected preparation, not simplicity. Both parties benefited from minimizing amazon stock disruption, creating aligned incentives for rapid resolution.
the complete analysis of elite divorce economics examines how sophisticated planning converts potential warfare into managed transaction. Prenup updates after major liquidity events. Separate family office structures maintained during marriage. Children’s trusts funded early to protect assets regardless of marriage outcome. The patterns distinguish those who protect what they’re building from those who leave architecture to chance.
business continuity through personal dissolution
operating businesses present unique divorce challenges. The company requires ongoing management regardless of personal circumstances. Employees, customers, and partners need stability. Value depends on continued operation that emotional conflict threatens.
sophisticated wealth structures separate investment management from operating businesses precisely to address these complications. The operating business requires the founder’s continued involvement. The preservation vehicle can be managed—and if necessary, divided—independently.
divorce protection isn’t pessimism. It’s risk management. The same thinking that diversifies investment portfolios should structure marriage architecture. The document signed when net worth was $5 million may not serve when net worth reaches $50 million. Regular review ensures protection remains appropriate to actual circumstances.
the hidden role of women in wealth dynasties
his name is on the building. Her name is on the trust documents.
the narrative of wealth dynasties centers male founders—the railroad baron, the steel magnate, the tech visionary. History records their achievements while largely ignoring the architecture that preserved what they built. That architecture was frequently designed and maintained by women whose contributions remain invisible in official accounts.
laurene powell jobs inherited a fortune worth approximately $11 billion when steve jobs died. Popular narrative classified her as a widow managing inherited wealth. Her subsequent actions—acquiring substantial media properties through emerson collective, building political influence through strategic investments, shaping educational and immigration reform—revealed different architecture entirely. The inheritance provided resources. The independent influence base she built afterward represents achievement that passive management could never produce.
the complete examination of women in wealth dynasties maps contributions that escape traditional measurement: strategic marriage guidance across generations, board positions providing governance influence, philanthropic infrastructure creating relationship access, and educational decisions positioning children within productive networks.
the invisible infrastructure
old money families understand that financial capital alone doesn’t ensure dynasty survival. Cultural capital, social capital, and relationship capital matter equally. Women have historically controlled these non-financial forms of capital—their contributions remain hidden precisely because accounting systems measure only money.
the returns from correct school selection, advantageous marriage facilitation, and charitable board positioning don’t appear on balance sheets. But they compound across generations in ways that financial returns alone cannot replicate.
mary-kate and ashley olsen transitioned from child stardom to quiet luxury fashion empire through strategic positioning that rejected rather than embraced celebrity. The row generates estimated revenues exceeding $100 million annually. Their approach demonstrates how women in dynasties often build independently rather than inheriting—creating security that dependence on inherited wealth or spousal wealth cannot provide.
the social capital compound effect
social capital compounds differently than financial capital. Money generates returns through investment. Relationships generate returns through reciprocity, reputation, and access accumulation.
every relationship maintained creates obligation potential. Every favor extended creates reciprocity expectation. Every introduction made generates reputation for generosity. These dynamics accumulate over time, creating social capital that converts to opportunity when needed.
the wealthy understand this intuitively. Their charitable giving serves multiple purposes simultaneously: tax efficiency, social positioning, relationship development, and values transmission. Their event attendance represents strategic investment rather than entertainment consumption. Their geographic positioning optimizes for network access rather than property appreciation alone.
network effects across generations
the most sophisticated relationship wealth building extends across generations. Children positioned within productive social networks inherit relationship capital alongside financial capital. Educational institutions selected for network value as much as academic quality create connection infrastructure lasting lifetimes.
the prep school pathway—exeter, andover, choate, deerfield—provides education, certainly. More importantly, it provides networks. Children who attend together often maintain relationships for decades, partnerships that become business collaborations, investment syndicates, and marriage alliances across generations.
understanding power couples and social capital at this level means recognizing that relationship investment today generates returns across timeframes most people don’t consider. The introduction made to a college roommate’s family may create deal flow twenty years later. The charitable board position accepted without immediate benefit may provide crisis management access when needed unexpectedly.
applying relationship wealth principles
sophisticated readers recognize that these patterns apply beyond billionaire dynasties. The principles of relationship wealth building scale across net worth levels. The architecture matters more than the scale.
evaluate your current positioning
map your household’s relationship architecture honestly. Do both partners operate in the same industry, creating network redundancy? Or do you access different networks that could cross-pollinate? Complementary positioning multiplies faster than overlapping positioning.
assess your geographic strategy. Where you maintain presence determines which relationship networks you access. Strategic seasonal presence—whether hamptons, aspen, palm beach, or other wealth concentration points—provides access to relationship infrastructure that pure urban presence cannot replicate.
examine your social calendar as investment allocation. Which events provide access to productive networks? Which represent consumption without return? Strategic attendance means sometimes choosing valuable events over pleasant ones.
build reciprocity capital
networks reward those who provide value before extracting it. The most productive relationship builders lead with generosity—making introductions, sharing information, providing assistance—long before seeking returns.
reciprocity obligation accumulates over time, creating relationship capital that converts to opportunity when needed. Transactional approaches fail because they invert this sequence. Those who demonstrate value over time before seeking returns earn reputation that compounds.
structure for multiple scenarios
the best wealth architecture serves multiple outcomes. Structures protecting assets in divorce may also protect assets from creditors, facilitate estate planning, and optimize tax efficiency. Good planning accomplishes multiple objectives simultaneously.
treating marriage as permanently stable and divorce as unthinkable inverts actual risk. Treating both as possible outcomes and planning for either demonstrates the strategic thinking that successful wealth preservation requires.
the relationship wealth advantage
power couples and social capital operate on principles invisible to those focused solely on individual achievement and financial returns. The advantages compound in ways that individual effort cannot replicate:
network multiplication creates connection possibilities exceeding what either partner accesses alone. Information arbitrage flows intelligence from multiple industries to single households. Social proof cascades convert individual endorsement into collective acceptance. Geographic positioning provides access to relationship infrastructure concentrated in specific locations. Generational extension transmits relationship capital alongside financial capital across time horizons individuals cannot address.
the couples who understand these dynamics don’t simply marry well or network effectively. They architect relationship infrastructure with the same rigor they apply to financial infrastructure. The results compound across decades and generations.
the wedding makes headlines. The trust documents multiply wealth. The charity gala seems social. The deal flow transforms portfolios. The geographic choice appears lifestyle. The network access generates returns.
understanding how relationships multiply wealth means seeing architecture where others see only events. The visible moment—the marriage, the party, the property purchase—represents surface. The relationship infrastructure beneath determines outcomes.
the men made the money. The women made sure it lasted. The networks provided access. The architecture enabled compounding. The relationships multiplied what individual effort built.
that’s how power couples and social capital actually work.

grew up in south jersey, now living in maryland for the past ?...6 years.
discovered thathomesite after seeing it mentioned on the hgtv decorating board a few
times. I started out with the marriage forum, them moved on the pregnancy and then to
parents and parents of infants. Ive been visiting those (parenting) boards religiously for a
long time now, and only recently branched out - and i am sooo glad i did. I lost my mother to
cancer 8 months ago (day after ds was born) and the only 2 friends i have with kids live
far away and all the rest work (im a sahm)...Therefore this site is my only gaurunteed
adult conversation each day (other than dh - who often works late) but even if i was still
working id be here, i love to talk (and listen) so this is just great. My only gripe about this
site(kt) - there is soo much activity here that i cant keep up (i think i am like the 50th

hobbies are counted cross stitch although my eyes are having difficulties lately seeing those
small holes. Guess thats what happens when you turn 50! Yep, its hard for me to believe. I
never had any children so its hard to believe that i could have children who could be in their
30s. I do have 3 nieces 21, 13, and 11. A nephew who is 19. We all live in the same vicinity.
brother and sis are about 20 minutes from me. My parents live 5 minutes from me when not in
az. Residing at my house is my dh of 13 years. Two furbabys kelly and maxie 10 and 8. Im
out of a job right now but work really hard at home keeping up the house and doing the jobs
hubby doesnt have time for. He works 3rd shift as a printer. When you take your pictures

care for 9 rescued special-needs cats and my wonderful mentee lindsay, whom ive been
working with for going on 4 1/2 years. Lindsay is a gifted child in a very sad social and
emotional situation who gets bored easily and is at risk for dropping out of school and/or
getting involved with kids (read:gangs) who are more her intellectual peers but much older
and more mature than she is ready to handle. (Her brother went down this path and is
currently a guest of the state for a gang related armed robbery after several bouts in
juvenille detention - father died when she was 7) her mom and i work together to help keep
her on track and stimulated in her school environment and encourage after school activities.
im just now beginning to deal with the boys issue and its anyones guess whats shes going
to ask or say these days. I also get permission ocasionally to bring her to work so she can see
what i do for a living and get involved in the work environment and people interactions.
im a vp of finance for a motion picture studio in hollywood, undergrad degrees in music
and nursing, masters degree in business administration and am a member of mensa. I had 2
other careers before this one - a nurse and med student dropout and then several years as a
retail fashion & accessory buyer.
special interests include feline health & behavior, playing the celtic harp and gardening -
especially hybrid teas and container gardening. Im also on e-mail lists for lupus support (my

chronic feline herpes owners) and parents and mentors of gifted children who share ideas

| Bob Pawloski, 91, of East Tawas |
| Posted on Thursday, January 08 @ 00:01:07 PST (4 reads) | |
|
|
Robert w. (Bob) pawloski, age 91, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on friday, january 2, 2026. He was born in huron county on june 21, 1934, to walter and helen pawloski. He was married to ann marie abraham on september 28, 1957, and they celebrated 68 years together in september 2025.
he is survived by his loving wife, ann; three sons: stephen (kim) of holland, david (karen) of remus, james (melinda) of gaylord; two daughters: lynn craven (kevin) of st. Clair and julie wilkinson (ty) of centerville, ohio; one brother: leonard (kathy) of california; two sisters: helen salas (louis) of essexville and cynthia mccormick (mark) of byron; also nineteen grandchildren: jake (marylou), amanda (lionel), catherine (cory), sara (andrew), jeff (alma), malina (brock), benjamin, christian, elyse, amanda (thomas), kevin and ian; nine great grandchildren: maya, jordan, rory, jesse, maren, leah, karli, piper and quinn; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers alger, richard and gerald.
after graduating from saints peter & paul high school in ruth and port huron business college, he went to work in the accounting office for united engineers, who were building a power plant for detroit edison in st. Clair. That was the start of a migratory life of jobs in river rouge, monroe, kentucky, west virginia, new hampshire and new york, interrupted briefly by a two-year stint in the u.S. Army. Stephen was born in georgia, while bob was stationed in fort mcpherson. David followed, born in monroe mi, then james and lynn were born in kentucky. The constant moving was difficult for ann and the kids, so bob resigned from united engineers in december 1969 and the family moved to tawas city, where he and his uncle opened tawas city sports center and marina. Julie was born there.
in addition to running a business as the only mechanic and accountant, bob was extremely active in the tawas community, which he called home for the last 55 years. He was a member of the local snowmobile club, the tawas city council, immaculate heart of mary church finance council and cemetery board, and held various offices, including grand knight, for council 2709 knights of columbus. If bob was asked to volunteer, the answer was always yes. Some of the places he could be found volunteering during his nights after work or days of retirement include: meals on wheels, special olympics, government surplus food distribution, and holy family catholic church.
the business climate in the 1980s was unfavorable, so bob closed the doors of tawas city sports center in 1985. The family moved to east tawas and he went to work for starboard industries to utilize his accounting skills. He retired from starboard in 1996 and continued to volunteer around the community, travel to see his family, go on fishing trips with his kids, and spend winter in florida with friends. Bob will be fondly remembered as loving his large family, listening and dancing to polka music, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, motorcycle riding, and up until december 2025, playing cards, solving puzzles and wood working.
we invite you to join bob’s family and friends in his celebration of life on saturday, january 10, 2026, at holy family catholic church in east tawas. Visitation will begin at 10:00 am, followed by a service at 11:00 am and a luncheon immediately afterward. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to holy family catholic school or the ann m. And robert w. Pawloski scholarship fund at cfnem.Org, which the family has established to honor their parents’ lifelong dedication to community service in the tawas area. |

It’s going to be nice, really busy for us. We’ve got 3,700 showing up just for friday. We’ve got a public indiana event tomorrow night as well. The surge in tourism is expected to provide a significant economic boost to the region. Debby cannon, an associate professor at georgia state university’s cecil b. Day school of hospitality, expects the crowds to extend well beyond the ticket-holders. We’re going to have a huge crowd, cannon said. We could certainly go over 150,000 and go over 200,000, depending on the party size. Cannon noted that most fans will likely arrive thursday or early friday and stay for two to three nights, spending money on hotels, ride-shares, and shopping. Because of the celebratory atmosphere, she estimates the total economic impact could reach the $150-million plus range. People are happy, they like to spend money, cannon said. However, other experts offer a more conservative outlook. Tom smith, an economist and finance professor at emory university’s goizueta business school, estimates the local impact will be closer to $30 million or $40 million. Even with a more muted estimate, smith said the game provides a vital shot in the arm for the local economy. For local eateries, uber drivers, people who are renting out their house for airbnbs, this could definitely change the trajection of their january, smith said.

| Women General Managers in Minor League Baseball |
| Posted on Thursday, January 08 @ 00:01:07 PST (3 reads) | |
|
|
From california to massachusetts, from arkansas to iowa, from florida to washington, leadership in professional baseball is evolving.
at present, there are 15 women in general manager positions across minor league baseball. When most fans think of the gms in baseball, they likely assume the job is all about building a roster. Minor league gms have nothing to do with rosters, but everything to do with a teams financial stability and community impact, and the gameday experience of everybody -- from fans to players and coaches to employees -- who comes out to the ballpark.
as minor league baseball celebrates womens history month, take a moment to get to know the women who are demonstrating integrity, intelligence, creativity and genuine care for their communities while managing minor league front offices across the country.
chrissy baines, albuquerque isotopes (triple-a col)
baines has been working in professional baseball since 2002 and has worked for the isotopes since 2004. A product of the university of west georgia with a bachelors degree in sports management, shes developed experience in numerous arenas of operating a franchise, from merchandise to ticketing and beyond. Baines was albuquerques assistant gm of business operations from 2015 until 2026, when she took on the gm role.
abie lawson, rancho cucamonga quakes (single-a laa)
named the quakes gm in december 2025, lawson worked for another california league team (the fresno grizzlies) in leadership roles from early 2022 until joining rancho cucamonga. She holds a masters in sports management from baylor, where she was also the assistant director for intramural sports for six-plus years.
amanda seimer, palm beach cardinals (single-a stl)
promoted from director of ticketing to gm after the 2025 season, seimer had 12 seasons at roger dean stadium under her belt and had previously worked for four other minor league, independent or summer collegiate baseball teams as well as working in tickets for major league soccers columbus crew. Seimer is a graduate of ohio university.
ann shively, tri-city dust devils (high-a laa)
shivelys worked for the dust devils since 2013, serving as assistant gm, sponsorships, for over 11 years. She was named northwest league woman executive of the year in 2018 and is now tri-citys gm and vice president. Shively is a graduate of gonzaga university.
kristin call, myrtle beach pelicans (single-a chc)
call started her path to the gm role while she was still in college, interning in the south atlantic league. After eight years, she joined the pelicans in the marketing department in 2013 and was named gm in december of 2021.
a spot opened up at the end of the [college internship], was able to land that job and then, quite honestly, i feel like i woke up five or six years later and had a career, she said.
brooke cooper, worcester red sox (triple-a bos)
a native of rhode island, cooper began her career as an intern with the woosox when they were the pawsox -- based in pawtucket. She gradually worked her way up to becoming the clubs director of marketing and ultimately ascended to executive vice president and gm before the 2024 season.
for girls and women interested in a career in baseball, id say be consistent, she said. Anyone can be great once. Anyone can have a positive attitude, work hard and treat people right when they feel up for it. It takes real character to display those traits every day, especially when challenged by the grueling nature of the baseball season.
shelly haenggi, midland rockhounds (double-a ath)
haenggi already had an impressive resume in the world of marketing and advertising -- running agencies in california and texas and also having worked for the hearst corporation and princess cruises in advertising and marketing roles. She joined the rockhounds in 2013.
hollee haines, inland empire 66ers (single-a laa)
new to the gm role this year, haines has worked for the 66ers since 2018 -- most recently as assistant gm -- and has a background in the legal field. In announcing her promotion, the team praised her innovations in improving the gameday experience.
i picked a career in baseball because its been a big passion in my life, haines said. I played softball in college, and i just love baseball and what it can do for a community.
christine kavic, lake elsinore storm (single-a sd)
the cfo and co-general manager of the storm, kavic came to the san diego affiliate with an extensive background in human resources, accounting and finance. She loves working in the close-knit and collaborative environment shes found with lake elsinore, and shes been active in mentoring and developing staff members with the team.
the advice i have for girls and women who are interested in a career in baseball is to be proactive and take initiative, embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, advocate for yourself and be resilient! Kavic said.
julia mcneil, quad cities river bandits (high-a kc)
mcneil was promoted from assistant gm in february, having begun her career as an intern for the collegiate wood-bat nashua [new hampshire] silver knights of the futures league in 2014. She moved into the minor leagues with a role in ticketing for the lowell spinners (then the short-season single-a affiliate of the red sox) before joining the river bandits, where shes worked a number of positions.
i wanted a career in baseball because i was an athlete my entire childhood and into adulthood, playing college softball, she said. And while i was growing up, there was a minor league baseball team in my hometown. I always enjoyed going there over the summer, and the entertainment aspect really drew me into what minor league baseball really is.
sophie ozier, arkansas travelers (double-a sea)
ozier grew up an avid st. Louis cardinals fan and at a young age had her sights on working for the team. In college, she sought out opportunities that would put her on that path, taking internships with fox sports midwest, the st. Louis blues hockey team and independent baseball teams. She arrived to the travelers as a corporate event planner and social media coordinator in 2017 and by 2021 had worked her way up to gm.
chrystal rowe, durham bulls (triple-a tb)
rowe came to the bulls in 2023, having already amassed extensive experience in ticketing, sales and marketing, including with the nfls carolina panthers. Durham named rowe interim gm at the end of january.
my very first job was working for the hickory crawdads during the summer, she said. So, twenty-something years ago, baseball chose me.
michelle skinner, fayetteville woodpeckers (single-a hou)
skinner began her career in baseball in 2010 with the tri-city valleycats in troy, n.Y. Then a member of the affiliated short-season new york-penn league and an affiliate of the astros, the valleycats moved over to the mlb partner league frontier league in 2021. By that time, skinner had worked her way up to assistant gm, and in 2023 she was to work for a club under the houston umbrella again as she stepped into the woodpeckers gm position.
i actually wasnt a big baseball fan growing up, skinner admitted, but i did my internship with the vermont lake monsters and fell in love with the community aspect of the game. I knew from that point on that i wanted to work in baseball.
liz welch, wilmington blue rocks (high-a wsh)
welch worked for her hometown independent team -- the lancaster barnstormers in pennsylvania -- for 10 seasons, beginning as a gameday employee and tackling various positions before joining the blue rocks in 2017, when she began gaining more experience in all aspects of the clubs operations.
wilmington named her gm in 2023, with team owner dave heller saying of welch over the past six years, she’s done just about every job there is to do in minor league baseball, and accomplished each with alacrity and aplomb.
jen yorko, lake county captains (high-a cle)
yorko came to the captains right out of college in 2007, and over the years shes worked on overseeing everything from theme nights to the teams charity initiatives to merchandising and ticketing. That collection of experience earned her an assistant gm position in 2016, and she took over the gm role in 2019.
the advice that i have for girls and women who are interested in a career in baseball would be to take the opportunity, she said. Find a team that aligns with your passion and know that theres an opportunity in baseball for everybody. Enjoy the ride. |
