money away especially since many forms of financial aid for college are for students who can demonstrate financial need I have found that most of my peers (including high earners) with teenage kids aren't in a hurry to worry about college costs so earning a lot and having more assets will not help my kids qualify for considerable (or any) financial aid for school If our household income and assets are going to hold my kids back from receiving many types of financial aid for college then it seems crazy to act like I am off the hook for all college costs I'm not saying all high-earning parents should agree to pay for college in its entirety but I am saying that most of us could save something for school during the 18-year period before our kids leave the nest The average student loan debt most borrowers carry scares me especially since many repayment plans for federal and private student loans last for up to 20 or 25 years Setting them up to make student loan payments until they're well into their 40s but I absolutely hate the idea of my kids beginning their adult lives with a considerable debt burden this is a time when they might want to start a family or begin saving up to purchase a home of their own I've heard the argument that some parents worked and paid for college as they went in-state school was $11,610 for the 2024-2025 academic year and it doesn't include the average annual cost for room and board ($13,310) This means the average cost for a four-year degree from a public college is currently around six figures While it's possible for students to work during school most can't juggle earning that much and excelling in their studies compared to $1,543 for those with a bachelor's degree and $1,840 for graduates with a master's degree I plan to urge my kids to attend one of our excellent state schools for more affordable tuition and to help them find a degree program that applies to the actual workforce and provides a solid foundation for their financial future This means no "feel-good" degree programs that don't apply to real-world jobs or industries We have already started that conversation in our household I cannot think of a better

Huntsman Center. The ceremony honored 8,908 graduates the largest class in the U’s history While Rowe was excited to return to her alma mater she noted she was a little nervous because she had been on a payment plan for many years post-college “Now I’m really freaking out because now they know where I am,” Rowe said A self-described “mediocre” student Rowe always knew she wanted to be a sportscaster she carefully chose college courses to prepare her for her goal she discovered that though there were many opportunities in her field she interned everywhere and earned the opportunities she wanted by volunteering to do the work others did not want to do “You’ll have to earn your opportunities,” Rowe said Rowe also created opportunities for herself she realized women’s sports were not broadcast in Utah Rowe bought radio air time and sold the ads needed to broadcast a Utah vs “Some of that was selfish because I wanted to be the announcer,” Rowe said “But I created that opportunity for myself I helped to lift women’s sports to new heights.” Holly Rowe was honored with a custom U jersey featuring her last name and year of graduation following her commencement address on May 1 Rowe was working at BYU TV when she saw that there was no sideline reporter for ABC’s broadcast of the BYU vs Rowe called the producer and volunteered for the role It was this dedication and skill that led to ESPN hiring her “I want you to have that same courage and that same attitude Believe in yourself and be reckless with your confidence.” She encouraged graduates to not only take the time to imagine their version of that life but also ensure that continual learning is part of their plan “Find people with diverse processes and ideas who can broaden your life view,” Rowe said “Diversity is our greatest teacher and I want you all to embrace it.” U President Taylor Randall presented her with a custom University of Utah jersey featuring her last name and year of graduation we loved hearing about your tenacity,” he said “Your story reminds us that when we have a dream in mind and the willingness to act not even parking tickets can get in the way.” Watch Rowe’s speech and the entirety of commencement here In addition to speaking at the General Commencement ceremony Rowe also attended and spoke at the College of Humanities Distinguished Alumni luncheon where she received the college’s Distinguished Alumni Award and spoke at the College of Humanities convocation ceremony a proud Diné Bit’ah’nÍÍ woman and health education and promotion graduate was the 2025 University of Utah student commencement speaker Author Holly Wainwright reflects on her decade-long friendships with the women she met in a strip-lit shopping mall when her first child was a newborn We knew it was coming. The camping trip when the kids would be up later than the parents, adult ears tuned in not for tears and temperatures but for tent zips flicking up and down at midnight, our alcohol audited and phone trackers at hand. This past Easter weekend, it arrived. The count was the same: 11 adults, 14 kids. The destination was new, but not unusual. A classic Australian campground – powered sites, a well-worn kitchen and a toilet block with a code it takes days to remember. A tepid, kidney-shaped pool and a sandy track to a beach stretching away in all directions. The babies that brought us all together are now 15 year olds spread out at different high schools across two states These gangly teenagers were once babies in arms at a mothers’ group meeting in a strip-lit shopping mall in eastern Sydney anxious new mothers sitting in a circle on hard Formica chairs working up the nerve to go first about sleep schedules and shredded nipples and poo All the questions were really the same question: Is this normal Six women from my mothers’ group have been camping together every Easter for 10 years New humans have been born during that time and now trail around after the “big kids” on scooters Kids play in the river on one of the group’s camping tripsAnd a lot more has changed too we’d been thrown together because we lived in the same two postcodes Now one family flies in from Tasmania and my lot drive from the small regional town we moved to four years ago There has been illness and loss and diagnoses There have been years where someone was pregnant Years when someone was on the edge of a nervous breakdown (my hand is up) years when marital relations at the camp have been strained on one of the very best weekends of the year Not everyone from the original mothers’ group stayed entirely bonded Although there were no major explosions or fractures the bubble of early motherhood pops and splits in many directions Families moved out of the tiny units they’d squeezed themselves into to maintain their city addresses at different times and with various levels of intensity Our ability to all get together for coffee on a Wednesday morning – holding each other’s babies while we peed and with someone almost always in tears – was short There’s a cliche that mothers’ groups are rife with toxicity it was never thatOur long-weekend group is just one subset Even within it there are bonded pairs and groups of threes people who are in each other’s lives and group chats daily Others who only turn up at major events – birthdays ending with 0 In He Would Never, the novel I wrote inspired by our tradition, the annual camping trip was first decided over group text, but for us I think it was actually the men – introduced to each other at kids’ birthday parties over the years – who made the first trip happen, just when the group could have faded away. And in the book, one of the men, rather than adding to the connective glue of this little community, is actively trying to pull it apart, so threatened is he by the strength of female friendship. Despite all that has changed, we still do. Last week we talked about the things all parents of teenagers do when they sense they’re in a “safe space”. About technology, of course. Whether any rules of ours can help guide them through an online world that feels opaque to us. We talked about sex, booze, drugs, respect, consent, shame, sport and school. We shared imaginings of where our children could be in another few years. Read moreWe don’t only talk about the kids Into those three days we cram conversations about work and relationships and ageing parents About health and mental health and ambition and money and stress About our imaginings of where we see ourselves in another few years about the things we learned the kids got up to while we were sleeping with 16-year-olds and memories of that first meeting – how lucky we were to make it into that particular room on that particular day with these particular women We discuss when their partners will be allowed to join happy in our shared delusion that this trip will always be as precious to them as it is to us Holly Wainwright’s novel, He Would Never about a mothers’ group that camps together every year We're here for you 24 hours a day: 1-800-275-2332 Relieve your family the burden of making difficult decisions during a time of great stress and grief you will save money and give peace of mind to your family and loved ones at a time when they will need it most call (319) 393-8000 or toll free at 1-800-275-2332 and ask to speak with a Certified Preplanning Counselor There is nothing more important to us than serving families and being there for them when they need us most Please review our services and let us know how we can help Stop in or call us at (319) 393-8000 or toll free at 1-800-275-2332 "Everything for your family."

how to distill complex information into understandable terms The former public school teacher successfully defended her doctoral dissertation in human genetics last May and is completing an M.S. in genetic counseling in the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine she is excited for a career that combines genetic counseling with research Earning both degrees will allow her to split her time between counseling patients on genetic conditions and conducting research to develop novel treatments for rare diseases “I’ve always been interested in the genetic components to human conditions and how we can leverage that information to help patients,” Byers said “What I love about this program is that I can be an independent researcher and have that clinical component.” the terminal degree offered in genetic counseling The genetic counseling master’s curriculum trains students to interpret data and test results while the doctoral program allows them to conduct independent research Byers has been investigating triple-negative breast cancer a rare and deadly form of breast cancer also known as TNBC TNBC is diagnosed when a biopsy shows negative results for three of the most common markers of breast cancer While those three forms can be treated with specialized hormonal therapies TNBC is more aggressive and harder to treat as it is not responsive to specialized therapies Hispanic and young patients and more likely to recur than other forms of breast cancer showed that when the DDI2 protein coding gene found in cancer cells is disabled is to find a novel therapy that specifically targets DDI2 to better treat this type of cancer “We don’t have good enough options for these patients and that really lit a fire under me to research how we can get better therapies for folks,” Byers said “My findings are a step in the right direction for discovering that treatment.” compared to 13% of the general population of women who develop breast cancer “When someone is diagnosed with TNBC we recommend that the patient be screened for hereditary gene mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2,” Byers said “Counseling these patients is really close to my heart because I’m also trying to find a new solution for them.” “That’s really hard news to hear for someone that otherwise may have no known health issues,” Byers said “Genetic counselors are trained to explain the risks and options to patients in an empathetic and comprehensive way and often just sit with them in their grief.” Byers said her counseling training wasn’t limited to the classroom or clinic an experience she said has made her a better counselor “There’s no ‘right time’ to have a baby when you’re a woman in science but becoming a mom has actually helped my work,” Byers said “I relate to parents a lot more now when I’m working in the pediatric or prenatal settings I truly know now what it’s like to worry about your child’s health.” Byers hasn’t strayed completely from her teaching roots and still gives lectures to students enrolled in the certificate in clinical genetics program an introductory program for those interested in the field As the first in her family to attend college Byers deeply values being able to pass on her knowledge to peers earlier in their career and said she would like to pursue teaching following graduation that there are similarities between teaching and counseling “I’m really passionate about trying to figure out how to meet students where they are which I guess extends to patients now,” Byers said “I like figuring out how to create a welcoming environment and personalize the lesson program and associate professor in the Department of Cellular said Byers has put her teaching experience to good use and excels as a leader in her cohort “Something that struck me about Holly is that she has a mature way of being able to navigate the challenges of being in a dual program,” Quillin said “She really put herself out there to the cohort She’s really the friend glue that held people together during the challenging time that is graduate school.” As she looks to her future as a genetic counselor scientist and educator following graduation Byers said she is excited to continue providing an empathetic and educational space for both her students and patients “I want to be someone that meets people without any judgment

Literature she honed her editorial skills as the Lifestyle Editor of The Mancunian Rhiannon brings fresh perspectives to her writing blending critical insight with an engaging style Her work captures the intersection of entertainment and real-world experiences Ex-Playboy model Holly Madison has opened up about the 'disgusting' sex act with Hugh Hefner that she absolutely 'hated' doing Before passing away at the grand age of 91 back in 2017, Hefner made a name for himself as the founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine before expanding his empire into a multi-million dollar industry He became the subject of a number of sexual assault allegations and, throughout the course of his many scandals, Hefner also mapped out a seriously grim, yet extremely strict, set of rules for any of the women living in the notorious Playboy mansion - one of which involved mandatory sex parties Speaking on Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast on Friday (2 May), Madison opened up about her thoughts on such group activities, which took place in the bedroom during her years spent as one of Hefner's girlfriends it’s a very different story between when we were just by ourselves than with everybody else in the room," she explained "I made it very known I hated it." Madison noted that her one-on-one time with Hefner was far more 'normal' continuing: "If it was just me and him it was a lot more normal than you would think." She also shared that she wasn't too fussed with the 53-year age-gap between herself and Hef explaining on the podcast that she was aware of some of the comments from people regarding it "I feel like there was a time when I couldn’t post anything without some dumbass in the comments like old balls,' or something like that," she told Thiele "Maybe some people’s balls do get old and nasty clarify that she and Hefner kept the lights off when they did the deed so she couldn't speak with total authority on the subject there's a saying: 'All cats are grey in the dark.'" Speaking to BuzzFeed News a decade back in 2015, Madison shared that the prolific sex parties always took place on the same two days of the week "It was always Wednesdays and Fridays after the club It was always exactly the same because that's just how he likes to live his life," she said all of Hugh's girlfriends were required to take part as she explained: "They knew it was kind of a quote-unquote requirement for living there ‘I made it very known I hated it’ Holly Madison, a former Playboy model and resident of the infamous Playboy Mansion has been exposing Hugh Hefner’s dirty laundry and the one sex act she “hated doing” with him will live on forever as the Playboy models he collected continue to speak out which is why she moved into the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends she had been promoted to his number one girl had never “had much luck with marriages.” Just recently, during an appearance on Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast, Holly gave us a peek behind those notorious walls. A post shared by Holly Madison (@hollymadison) It’s well documented that if you were one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends you would be expected to take part in group sex activities at a moment’s notice “They knew it was kind of a quote-unquote requirement for living there and expected,” Holly said earlier in 2015 Numerous former Playboy Bunnies have spoken about it and now Holly has revealed it was the part of the relationship she “hated” most it’s a very different story between when we were just by ourselves than with everybody else in the room,” she explained “I made it very known I hated it.” then it was “a lot more normal than you would think.” Such statements might lead you to question why Holly and the many other beautiful women were with Hugh in the first place Though Holly herself earlier detailed how the connection was almost like Stockholm Syndrome she noted how there was an allure to the old man “I think just the fact that he was so interesting and iconic – I mean that didn’t hurt – but also I would never go for a guy just because he’s rich you get approached by all kinds of gross rich guys,” she said “It was just more that he was so iconic and accomplished and interesting and when you meet him when you’re first coming up to the parties and stuff For more like this and for the latest memes, quizzes, updates – like The Tab on Facebook Featured image credit: Chris Alan/BEI/Shutterstock Win £20 to spend at some of the UK's biggest retailers Raegan and Iain call Montana’s daughter their niece She set up the page for people to send her money Students have just over two weeks to make their nominations ‘He didn’t check in when I had top surgery’ Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue - the email address may already exist it provides narrative coverage of local trends going beyond the headlines to keep you informed Stay informed with the latest top headlines from your trusted local source the Albuquerque Journal—delivered to your inbox every day Stay in the loop with the top stories of the week delivered straight to your inbox every Saturday Sign up to see what’s trending and get the latest on the stories that matter most to our readers Get breaking news and important alerts sent straight to your inbox as they happen Stay up-to-date with the latest sports headlines and highlights from the Albuquerque Journal Get the latest on local happenings delivered straight to your inbox Invalid password or account does not exist Submitting this form below will send a message to your email with a link to change your password An email message containing instructions on how to reset your password has been sent to the email address listed on your account We are saddened and shocked to announce the death of our beloved Holly Jean Thompson Kraxner on April 26 Holly Madison isn’t holding anything back when it comes to her wild years at the Playboy Mansion The former reality TV star opened up about one thing she couldn’t stand during her relationship with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner "Well, it’s a very different story between when we were just by ourselves than with everybody else in the room," she explained on the “In Your Dreams” podcast "Everybody else in the room, no," she said bluntly, referring to the infamous group s-- sessions.

That’s not the behavior of someone who felt trapped,” suggested a friend of Hefner after she talked negatively about his behavior Despite Madison calling Hef a “master manipulator,” a second close friend of the Playboy founder noted “He loved her deeply and never lied to her To paint him now as some kind of monster is just unfair.” Hugh Hefner's friend slammed Holly Madison for profiting 'off the man who gave her the life she built her brand on.' didn’t vocalize her repulsion until long after they broke up “It wasn’t until she needed to stay relevant that the stories became darker and more dramatic It’s hard to watch someone profit off the man who gave her the life she built her brand on,” they said A third insider expressed how Madison using the Playboy name for profitable gain felt like “betrayal,” adding “It’s not that she didn’t have complicated feelings The former Playboy bunny hosts Season 3 of 'The Playboy Murders.'

Just kind of in a fog, almost. I think the fog was more just having such a warped mindset, cognitive dissonance, thinking I’m in love with somebody and realizing I got in way over my head… but always trying to justify that.” Sources close to Hefner spoke with journalist Rob Shuter about their opinion of Holly Madison.
