Do you have a case of the ‘September Scaries?’
Many of us currently find ourselves in the grips of the “September Scaries.” Those familiar with the concept of the Sunday Scaries will recognize this feeling. You could try “microdosing” a few September tasks this week, said psychology professor Christian Waugh, who studies positive coping mechanisms. Slow transitions are always easier than rapid ones. He also recommended ditching the “good-bad dichotomy” of summer fun versus September obligation. If, for example, you have to shop for back-to-school supplies, don’t frame that trip as the official (and sad) end of summer. Instead, plan to buy notebooks in the morning and go to the pool in the afternoon.

id Trump’s campaign break the law at Arlington National Cemetery?
There are strict federal laws about what can and can’t be done at Arlington National Cemetery, according to law professor Tanya Marsh, who specializes in cemetery law. “One of the very specific prohibitions in the code of federal regulations is that memorial services and ceremonies at cemeteries like Arlington will not include partisan political activities,” said Marsh. “That’s not a prohibition that a family has the right to just give permission to for a political figure to ignore.”

In election race, prediction markets are challenging traditional polling
Before scientific polling was well established in the late 1930s and early 1940s, economics professor Koleman Strumpf told Fortune that betting markets were where newspapers got their election predictions. “Newspapers would report on this on the front page, pretty much for at least the last month before the election, but usually much longer than that,” Strumpf said. “Almost every major city in the U.S. had their own market, but the biggest one was in New York, and it literally existed right outside Wall Street.”

‘Demand like never before.’ Why millions are flowing to NC charter schools from investors
Millions of dollars are flowing from private equity firms into charter schools across North Carolina to help buy new classroom materials, renovate and expand. “One of the benefits of issuing a tax-exempt bond is to reduce the cost of borrowing money,” said finance professor Ajay Patel, an expert in corporate and financial management. “If you’re borrowing the money to invest in facilities, then it reduces the cost of creating new infrastructure for the institution. Bonds are more affordable to pay back.”
