JOHNSON CONTROLS ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY DIVIDENDPresident-elect Donald Trump has selected Jared Isaacman, entrepreneur, pilot, and all-around space enthusiast, as the next NASA administrator, marking a major shift in the space agency’s leadership. Trump made the announcement through a post on Truth Social, writing that Isaacman would “drive NASA’s mission of discovery and inspiration, paving the way for groundbreaking achievements in Space science, technology, and exploration.” NASA’s last two appointed administrators have been former politicians, so putting the billionaire astronaut at the helm is rather unconventional for the space agency and a possible indication of the private industry playing a much larger role in the national space program. Fresh off of his first spacewalk, Isaacman stated that he was honored to receive the nomination. “Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history,” Isaacman wrote on X. Aside from being the founder and chief executive of payment services company Shift4, the billionaire was able to translate his personal passion for space into reality by commanding two private astronaut missions. Isaacman’s first stint in space, Inspiration4, launched in September 2021 with the first all-civilian crew to reach orbit. Earlier in September, Isaacman led a four-person crew on board a Dragon spacecraft for the Polaris Dawn mission, which reached higher altitudes than any other SpaceX crew capsule. The private spaceflight also saw two crew members hop out of the capsule, performing the first-ever commercial spacewalk and testing SpaceX-designed spacesuits in the vacuum of space. As far as commercial trips to space go, Polaris Dawn set the bar high and took on much more challenging tasks than the regular suborbital flights. “On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century,” Isaacman wrote on X. “I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun.” If we’re to read anything into this, it’s that this “second space” age is likely to see NASA outsourcing heavily to private companies, continuing what it already an ongoing trend. With a second Trump term looming, there has been speculation that the president-elect may seek to cancel NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which is poised to launch astronauts to the Moon as part of the space agency’s Artemis program. NASA’s massive Moon rocket is marred by delays and cost overruns , and may end up costing six times more than its original value. As a result, the space agency has been struggling with its planned return to the Moon, trying to manage a tight budget while sustaining its ambitious timeline to land humans on Mars. NASA’s 2024 budget was $24.875 billion, about half a billion less than what the space agency received in 2023 and some $2.31 billion short of what it was hoping to spend on its various programs this year. The agency needs more funding for its science endeavors, while the private industry is looking to make money from space. With Isaacman leading NASA, there might be more focus on profiting from the cosmos. “Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy,” Isaacman wrote. “There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space.” Isaacman’s close association with SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is also worrying (Isaacman’s missions rely on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and Crew Dragon capsule). Musk is already a close ally to Trump, and with Isaacman at NASA, the SpaceX billionaire may have an unfair advantage to securing more contracts from the space agency, leading to a full-on monopoly of the industry. Of course, the U.S. Senate still needs to approve Trump’s nomination of Isaacman as the space agency’s administrator. That’s not to say that Isaacman wouldn’t bring a much-needed fresh approach to NASA, with the space agency being weighed down by bureaucracy at times and not taking as many risks as the private industry. For better or worse, Isaaman’s appointment will mark a new era for NASA and spaceflight as a whole.
On Dec. 12, the U.S. Census Bureau released new data that provide information about the wellbeing of Granite Staters during 2019 to 2023. These insights build on less detailed one-year data released earlier and collected only during 2023, and offer a deeper look into New Hampshire’s economy, poverty levels and housing challenges. Here are seven quick takeaways from the one-year and five-year American Community Survey datasets that provide greater understanding about the lives of Granite Staters: 1. Median household income growth outpaced inflation in 2023 after slipping behind in 2022. In 2023, New Hampshire’s median household income grew to about $97,000, which was an increase from approximately $90,000 in 2022. Even after adjusting for inflation and accounting for statistical uncertainty, the median Granite State household experienced a boost in the real purchasing power of the median household in 2023. Incomes had previously slipped behind inflation in 2022, and 2023’s increase brought inflation-adjusted income to about the 2021 level, the prior peak, rather than growing to a new high. 2. Coos County median household income was about half of Rockingham County’s level. During the 2019-2023 period, median household income in Coos County, the northernmost and least populous county in the state, was about $58,000 in inflation-adjusted 2023 dollars, which was the lowest among the counties in the state. Rockingham County, the second-most populated New Hampshire county and the closest to metropolitan Boston, had a median household income of about $114,000, which was the highest in the state and nearly double that of Coos County. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Living Wage Calculator estimated that the cost of living in Rockingham County for two working adults and one child was $105,005 in 2024, while in Coos County the same household would face living costs of $79,714. 3. Poverty rates were higher in northern and western counties. In the 2019-2023 period, poverty rates were highest in Coos County (12.9 percent) and Sullivan County (10.8 percent) in west-central New Hampshire. Uncertainty in these survey-based data renders these two poverty rates statistically indistinguishable from each other, but both reflect that rural areas in northern and western New Hampshire faced higher concentrations of poverty. 4. While it had the lowest poverty rate, Rockingham County had the second-highest number of people in poverty among the state’s counties. About 15,000 people lived in poverty in Rockingham County, behind only Hillsborough County’s 27,000 people, in the 2019-2023 period. While Coos County had a much higher poverty rate than either Rockingham or Hillsborough County, the total population in poverty was likely just under 4,000 people, based on available data. 5. About 98,000 people in the state lived in poverty in New Hampshire during 2023. The Official Poverty Measure is based on income and household composition. Poverty thresholds for 2023 varied by household size and composition: in 2023, poverty level incomes were $15,852 for a single person under 65 years old, $21,002 for a household with one adult under 65 and one child, $24,526 for two adults and one child, and $30,900 for two adults with two children. Poverty thresholds varied based on other adjustments for different household compositions. In 2023, an estimated 98,000 people (7.2 percent) lived with incomes below Official Poverty Measure poverty thresholds, including about 20,000 children under 18 years old and 21,000 adults over age 64 years. 6. More than half of renters were cost-burdened by housing, and renters with lower incomes faced even more significant hurdles paying for a place to live. The term “cost-burdened,” used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development describes households that pay more than 30 percent of their income toward housing. In 2023, approximately 51 percent of New Hampshire’s 157,000 renter households met the criteria of being housing cost-burdened, compared to about 28 percent of the 258,000 owner households paying a mortgage and about 20 percent of 155,000 owner households without a mortgage. More granular data for the 2019-2023 period shows that about 31 percent of New Hampshire’s renter households had annual incomes below $35,000 per year. Among these households, about three quarters were cost-burdened, and more than half were billed at least half of their income in rent and utilities. 7. Poverty rates varied substantially among Granite Staters by race, ethnicity, disability status, and family structure. Reflecting long-standing structural barriers to opportunity and success that are more profound for some Granite Staters than others, poverty rates varied substantially by population group in New Hampshire in the 2019 to 2023 period. Female Granite Staters were more likely to be in poverty than male residents. Compared to the statewide rate of 7.2 percent, about one in five residents without a high school degree were in poverty, as were nearly one in 10 residents who had a high school degree or the equivalent with no further formal education. The estimated poverty rate for Hispanic or Latino Granite Staters was about twice as high as for non-Latino white residents. About one in 10 Granite Staters who identified as Black or African American, as well as those identifying as two or more races, were in poverty. Approximately one in six New Hampshire residents with a disability lived in poverty. Nearly one quarter of households with children headed by a single woman without a partner present had incomes below poverty levels as well. These U.S. Census Bureau data can reveal key trends related to income and poverty, health coverage, housing and other aspects of life in New Hampshire. Further analysis, particularly from the new five-year data covering 2019-2023, will provide additional insights into the wellbeing of different communities throughout the Granite State.

By RONALD BLUM NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball will test robot umpires as part of a challenge system during spring training at 13 ballparks hosting 19 teams, which could lead to regular-season use in 2026. MLB has been experimenting with the automated ball-strike system in the minor leagues since 2019 but is still working on the shape of the strike zone. An agreement for big league use would have to be reached with the Major League Baseball Umpires Association, whose collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1. “I would be interested in having it in ‘26,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesday after an owners’ meeting. “We do have a collective bargaining obligation there. That’s obviously a term and condition of employment. We’re going to have to work through that issue, as well.” Manfred said the spring training experiment will have to be evaluated before MLB determines how to move forward. “There’s two sides to that test,” he said. “It’s what the clubs think about it and also what do the players think about it? And we’re going to have to sort through both of those.” Triple-A ballparks used ABS this year for the second straight season, but there is little desire to call the strike zone as the cube defined in the rule book and MLB has experimented with modifications during minor league testing.

The top of the strike zone was increased to 53.5% of batter height this year from 51%, and the bottom remained at 27%. After splitting having the robot alone for the first three games of each series and a human with a challenge system in the final three during the first 2 1/2 months of the Triple-A season, MLB on June 25 switched to an all-challenge system in which a human umpire makes nearly all decisions. During the second half of the season, each team had three challenges in the Pacific Coast League and two in the International League. A team retains its challenge if successful, similar to the regulations for big league teams with video reviews. “I think we will have a spring training ABS test that will provide a meaningful opportunity for all major league players to see what the challenge system will look like,” Manfred said. “It won’t be in every single ballpark but we actually have a plan where every team will get meaningful exposure.”PGA drops Vegas from next year's autumn scheduleBridgingApps® and Sentara Health Plans Creating Transition Tool for Children and Youth with Special Health Needs

NASA's 2 stuck astronauts face more time in space with return delayed until at least late MarchThe PGA Tour announced its schedule of seven post-season tournaments for the fall of 2025 on Tuesday with no Las Vegas event on the calendar for the first time since 1983. The lineup is one fewer than this year and tees off with the Procore Championship in Napa, California, on September 11-14, two weeks after the 2025 Tour Championship. Absent from the schedule is the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas. After the Ryder Cup next September at Bethpage Black, the PGA Tour events resume with the Sanderson Farms Championship on October 2-5. The PGA Tour's Japan stop, the Baycurrent Classic, will be October 9-12 at Yokohama Country Club followed by the Black Desert Championship on October 23-26 in Utah. The World Wide Technology Championship at Los Cabos, Mexico, will be November 6-9 followed the next week by the Bermuda Championship and the RSM Classic on November 20-23 at Sea Island, Georgia. "With events in four US states, Japan, Mexico and Bermuda, the conclusion to the 2025 golf calendar promises to be exciting for our fans worldwide," said Tyler Dennis, PGA Tour chief competitions officer. Under tighter qualifying rules for the 2026 PGA Tour approved by the Player Advisory Council last month, only the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings will secure exempt status with the 50 who reach next year's BMW Championship being exempt into signature events for 2026. Those ranked 51st and beyond will take FedEx Cup points into the fall to try and accumulate eligibility points for the 2026 campaign. Three PGA Tour Challenge season events will be played next December -- the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas hosted by Tiger Woods, the LPGA-PGA mixed-team Grant Thornton Invitational and the PNC Championship parent-child event. Tour commissioner Jay Monahan also announced Tuesday that the PGA is searching for a new chief executive officer whose job would be to grow the business side of the operation in light of the $1.5 billion investment in PGA Tour Enterprises by Strategic Sports Group, a set of team sports owners. js/bbHIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Anderson set for return, trying to help CBA win first State titleI approached AI journaling with a clenched jaw and a healthy dose of skepticism. In many ways, journaling feels profoundly human. It's about putting pen to paper, right? Leather-bound notebooks are supposed to be filled with words only you will ever read. AI creates a bit of a loophole. Now, instead of closing your journal shut in an emotional frenzy, AI journals can challenge you to go deeper; identifying recurring patterns, and even offering up suggestions you might not have thought of on your own. They can teach you about yourself, help you see situations more clearly, and even make important decisions . . . all from the comfort of your own device. I've spent the past three years dealing with chronic illness and, more recently, the loss of my right eye. There's a lot of grief I've yet to work through (does it ever really go away?), and oftentimes I find myself talking into an abyss. My anger isn't fully understood by friends and family, although I appreciate their support, and I have a bad habit of masking my true feelings to mental health professionals. Traditional journaling has been a major tool for me, especially in times of crisis — but I tend to look back on my graveyard of wayward ramblings and cringe. While my long-winded rants felt like a catharsis in the moment I'm not entirely sure I learned much about myself in the process. AI journaling offers a potential solution, identifying patterns in your entries, and giving you the chance to actually learn from what you write. "People often just don't have access to emotionally intelligent support," says Chrys Bader , co-founder of an AI journal called Rosebud. "AI is actually really good at helping you explore your inner world and find what's true for you, giving you the validation and the confidence to go out and make the changes you need." With that possibility in mind, I decided to put two different AI journals to the test: Rosebud and Mindsera . Over the course of a few weeks, here's what I learned, liked, and have yet to figure out on my journaling journey. How Does Mindsera Work? When you open up the program on your computer (it's only available on desktop at the moment), you can choose to respond to a prompt, or write on a blank document. You can also take a photo of a physical journal entry (i.e. one you wrote on paper) for Mindsera to analyze. From here, you have the option to "go deeper" with an AI-generated prompt based on what you've already provided. For instance, in one entry about illness and grief, I was asked "What does hope look like for you now, after all you've been through?" Once you've completed your full entry, you receive an emotion analysis based on the emotions expressed in your writing, modeled after Plutchik's wheel of emotion (although Mindsera's version is displayed in a quick list, rather than a wheel). This includes the percentage of each emotion in your entry, and an explanation as to why the AI detected each one. "A lot of users have said that they wrote their journal entry, and they didn't think that it had any element of frustration, for example," says Mindsera founder Chris Reinberg . After the analysis, however, they're able to see things differently. "This helps them to build emotional intelligence and understand themselves better," Reinberg says. Along with the analysis, you'll also receive a colorful piece of AI-generated artwork based on your journal entry (see mine below!). All entries will be organized by this art with bulleted summaries and the corresponding emotions from each entry. Mindsera also has an insights tab (next to tabs for the home page, previous entries, and different AI "frameworks"), where you'll find a graph documenting all of your recorded emotions in different sized circles — their size indicative of their presence in your writing. You can go explore these emotions with a simple click, Reinberg says. "I click on excitement, and it basically gives me an overview based on all of my journal entries: what are the different things that have caused me excitement or anxiety or stress?" he explains. Mindsera will also give you a personality type based on the "Big Five" personality traits. It'll break down the recurring topics in your entries and offer concrete suggestions with extensive descriptions as well. Some of my suggestions included "reconnect with friends," "explore creative outlets," and "practice mindfulness and rest." You can even ask your Mindsera journal to assess your current mental health status based on your journal entries. Reinberg gave a few examples like: "How close am I to burnout?" "What is obvious around me but doesn't appear obvious to me?" "What are my unmet needs?" In this way, you can truly "have a conversation with your journal," he says. The frameworks tab offers a more guided approach to journaling. Here, you'll select from six overall goals: basic journaling, productivity, wellness, decision making, problem solving, or business. Within each broader goal, you can then narrow down your intentions and work through more specific questions. If you select decision making, for example, you can choose the "regret minimization" framework to prioritize projects you won't regret (and respond to the three corresponding questions). If you select wellness, however, you may choose the "emotion audit" framework to better understand why you feel a certain way (this one has 11 questions). My Experience With Mindsera My first time using Mindsera was also my first-ever time using AI for journaling. Eager to see what would happen, I decided to abandon the prompts and really put the algorithm to the test, opening up about illness, peace, and the importance of rest. "Back when I was in and out of the hospital, I had my tarot cards read at one of my favorite places in Tucson. The woman pulled an image of a ship sailing to shore. She told me it signified peace on the horizon. Sometimes I wonder if I've reached it yet. Is this it? Am I at peace?" I wrote. After my initial entry, I hit Mindsera's "go deeper" function and was met with the prompt "What does true peace feel like for you?" As promised, the prompt helped me reflect on a much deeper level — something I never would've done on my own. It was a simple prompt, but it made me feel heard in a profound way, which I felt made the journaling experience more impactful (and more emotional) as a whole. Toward the end of my Mindsera testing, I finally decided to ask it a question. "What makes me happiest?" I typed, interested to see if this could clue me in on how to be happier overall. Mindsera quickly gave me a concrete response informed by my former entries. It included moments of creativity (I had previously mentioned my love for dancing, writing, and makeup); adventure and connection with others (citing specific trips I had taken with friends); and small pockets of peace (I wrote a surprising amount about iced coffee). "Ultimately, happiness for you is intertwined with hope," it told me. "Despite the uncertainties and changes in life, you hold onto hope for a beautiful future." Mindsera is currently only available via desktop, which I felt made it easier to go into detail, or elaborate on specific situations. For some, it may feel a bit intimidating to start writing on a blank canvas, but I liked the creative and emotional freedom this provided. Plus, if you're feeling overwhelmed, Mindsera does provide optional prompts to get you started ("what are you planning for today" or "what small joys currently bring you a sense of connection and hope"). Not to mention the frameworks, if you have a more specific goal in mind. Since I'm already dealing with unresolved emotions, topics bubbled up naturally, and I didn't feel any pressure to hold back, or force my true thoughts to fit within specific parameters. I was also a big fan of Mindsera's emotion analysis (mentioned earlier), which pops up after every entry like a mini Spotify Wrapped. It gives you a ranking of each emotion detected in your writing (quantified by percentages), giving you an opportunity to see how you're really feeling, and learn more about yourself in the process. These emotions are tracked over time so you can identify patterns and triggers (sources of sadness, happiness, etc.), based on your journal entries. For instance, I learned that many of my entries included an underlying amount of fear. Gratitude and hope, however, were the overarching themes according to my journal insights. Because of its structure, this was the journal I got the deepest with, and I learned a lot about myself, the way I grieve, and the things that make me happiest in the process. As much as I enjoyed Mindsera, I wasn't always as consistent as I would've liked, seeing as I didn't always have the time or emotional bandwidth required. While I liked carving out time to get deeper in a journal that I actually enjoyed looking back on, I wasn't always eager to whip out my laptop to record an entry after work. As of now, I could see Mindsera working best as the first part of your nighttime routine, or — if you're not trying to dig as deep — as a morning ritual before digging into your inbox. How Does Rosebud Work? Despite also being an AI journal, Rosebud operates quite differently than Mindsera. For starters, Rosebud is an app-based tool. Upon opening the app, you're met with the opportunity to record a morning intention, an evening reflection, or start fresh using the pink plus sign at the bottom of the screen. After writing, you'll receive a brief takeaway, a quote, and a summary of your mood and the topics discussed. You can also favorite more specific journals (for gratitude, healing, positivity, relationships, etc.) in the explore tab, and respond to prompts based on former entries. "We've been partnering with experts to develop more unique experiences. We just launched one with a trauma and anxiety therapist," Bader says. There are also different therapeutic modalities that "help expose people to different ways of processing." "While everyone else was worried about whether AI would become self-aware and take over the world and kill us, we thought it was more interesting whether AI could actually help us become more self-aware," Bader says. The app started on the web over a year ago, and the native iOS and Android app launched this August, taking "the best of everything we learned from the web," Bader says. Rosebud's insight tab includes writing stats, an emotional landscape with a graph of emojis documenting your written emotions, and key themes mentioned in your journal. There's also a "cast of characters" featuring people you frequently mention. Once you've recorded three entries, you will also receive a weekly report with additional insights that unlock every Saturday. "It'll analyze all of your entries, point out themes, highlight your insights and your wins," Bader explains. In terms of the response, Bader says it's been overwhelmingly positive so far. "I've been building apps since I was 13 and my whole life, I've never seen this level of feedback before," he says, pointing to someone who used Rosebud to help with their addiction. "They started to use Rosebud and it really helped them get a lot of clarity on things, and they've been two weeks sober." He says another person found Rosebud after struggling with an abusive relationship for more than 16 years. "Four months later, and now they're out of that relationship in the best place they've been in a long time." Rosebud felt like a very realistic tool, alerting me throughout the day so I remembered to complete an entry in the morning and evening. I liked the idea of having a resource for mental health right at my finger tips, and the accessibility of Rosebud is definitely a big plus. The prompts for both the morning intention and the evening reflection were structured, but quick to complete ("what was the highlight of your day?" or "is there anything worrying you about the day ahead?") and you also have the opportunity to start with a blank page, or go deeper with your entries — which I almost always took. It didn't take long for Rosebud to identify certain elements of my life that could use some work (like burnout and an unwillingness to rest). But the insights were always delivered in an uplifting way. I liked getting a short, concise takeaway from each of my entries to help start my day on the right foot, and I often contemplated writing them on a sticky note so I wouldn't forget what I had learned. Luckily, you can just bookmark them on the app for easy reflection. It was interesting to record my thoughts in the morning and night, and Rosebud quickly helped me identify some major imbalances in my life. For instance, while I often set a morning intention to read, rest, or unwind, by my evening reflection, I realized I had devoted all of my energy to work. Although my entries weren't always as deep on this particular app, I still had the opportunity to learn more about myself, with extensions like a gratitude journal, dream journal, and expert-informed journals for everything from nervous system rebalancing to knowing your needs. You also get prompts based on what you've written, quick insights after every entry, and a weekly analysis of your past entries. As a whole, I found Rosebud easy to navigate but less emotional, and I think this would be ideal for someone looking to make journaling a habit. It's straightforward, doesn't require a ton of time, and provides quick feedback for those looking to make concrete changes in their life. Rosebud was definitely a practical pick for learning more about myself and identifying areas for improvement. The reminders were helpful, but I didn't always feel as motivated to go deeper with my emotions (the way I did with Mindsera). Because I'm dealing with so much grief, my journals are typically where I channel some of these emotions. That said, Rosebud can definitely still teach you a lot about yourself, and I'd say both journals were surprisingly thoughtful in their responses — it really just comes down to which format and insights you prefer. Can You Trust AI Journals? Every AI journal is different, but the creators acknowledge that some might be skeptical about using AI in their journaling. Bader says Rosebud is currently in the process of becoming HIPAA compliant, but in a special agreement with Open AI and Anthropic, they (and their AI partners) don't retain any of the data that's sent. "It's just processed and discarded," Bader explains. "Putting your data into technology — there's always some risk that carries with that, it's never going to be zero, but we're doing everything that we can, following best practices, storing data encrypted, using trusted technologies, and just putting into practice all the best practices to protect people's data." Mindsera seconds this ethos around privacy. "We're very privacy oriented and we believe in the privacy of thoughts," Reinberg says, noting that Mindsera is independently funded and hand-raises their money. "It's your head, it should be a secure place," he says. Final Takeaways AI journaling should never serve as a replacement for professional mental health care — in fact, both founders say the journals should be viewed as supplemental. That said, AI journaling did shatter some of my preconceived notions about what journaling "should" be, giving me the chance to reflect, process my grief, and learn about myself in the process. It could also be a great tool for anyone needing additional daily support, or looking for more accessible mental health resources. As for which AI journal works best, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. If you're new to AI journaling, definitely take advantage of the free trials to see which works best for you and your lifestyle, including your overall goals and preferred format.
