Twitter and The Weather Channel are teaming up to bring you a new kind of commercial. They’ve created weather informed ads, which deliver ad content to the user based on the environment about him or her. What does this new kind of advertising mean for consumers? And are there privacy issues involved? Plus, the Professional Golfers’ Association, seeing golfers leaving the game by the hundreds of thousands, tells golfers there’s a way to enjoy the game without spending all day on it. Just play half a round. The campaign launches with start of the U.S. Open on Thursday. After, we talk to art critic Blake Gopnik about a “new,” $50-million Rembrandt painting, previously assumed to be a worthless copy. Blake discusses the insanity of a panel of experts deciding what is and isn’t an original work. Also, we talk to Univision’s Leon Krauze, who is at the World Cup in Sao Paolo this week, about how labor and street protests are impacting the tournament. Krauze shares that he’s found that Brazilians are not happy with the World Cup being hosted in their country and feel the financial resources are better spent on education and other public services.

State GDP statistics come out tomorrow. While states have had a tough time during the recession, things seem to be turning around for them now. We report on what we can expect. Plus, NASA is launching a flying saucer. We look at why they’re launching it and what it does?  We also take a look at what it costs and where it will fly? Also, the BBC’s Evan Davis reports from a farming community a couple of hours away from San Paolo ahead of the World Cup launch this week. Agriculture has been a shining star for Brazil’s economy thanks to advances in technology that have allowed farmers to produce more goods than they used to two decades ago. Then later, if you were to make a list of the top 5 products that will play a prominent role in our future, the battery would definitely be at the top. Batteries power our devices, our cars will soon rely on them and they will be crucial in the construction of renewable energy grids. We visit a Berkley, CA laboratory where scientists are experimenting with new materials to make safer more efficient batteries, and where CalCEF, the California Clean Energy Angel Fund, is experimenting with new ways of getting those batteries to market faster. 

Radio Shack today is rolling out a nationwide expansion of its “Fix It” program. Customers can bring in phones with cracked screens, water damage, broken buttons etc. and have them fixed on site for as little as $39.99. Currently, these fixes can be so expensive that people just don’t bother to make them. Has Radio Shack found the hole-in-the-market that could save consumers money and save a company that some had already written off? Plus, Obama will participate in a special Q&A event on Tumblr where he will answer students’ questions about student loan debt. Also, college grads are on the hunt for jobs, and firms are finally showing more readiness to hire them. A company called Collegefeed wants to step in as matchmaker, acting in a way that’s similar to dating websites. Then, California has some of the most ambitious energy conservation goals in the nation. State building codes will require all new residential and commercial buildings be Zero Net energy by 2030. That means buildings will have to produce as much energy as they use. To accomplish that, lots of construction workers will be needed which will translate into new jobs.

“The Fault in Our Stars” is the latest movie adaptation of a young adult book. With the box-office success of Twilight, Hunger Games, and others, is it time to shelve the notion that males aged 18-34 are what drive big blockbusters? Then, we take a closer look at the NCAA student athlete trial that begins next week. And after, as the job market continues to wade, it indicates that people are still very hesitant to take job risks, including quitting the job they’ve got, to pursue a new job, or borrow for more education to improve their credentials. But, voluntary quitting is starting to pick up again-and for younger workers especially, that’s a hopeful sign. Also, did you know that a town in Pakistan creates 80 percent of the world’s soccer balls? A group of notable economists got together to use it as a laboratory to test how best to introduce innovation. We investigate.  

The Labor Department issues the May jobs figures today, but has normality returned? What do the latest figures say about jobseekers returning to the economy and better job openings? Can we now expect healthy job creation every month going forward? We also look at wage growth and the fact that things are still far behind where they would have been if the Great Recession had not cost so many jobs. Plus, California chrome goes for horseracing’s Triple Crown this weekend at the Belmont Stakes, and even if he wins, the horse won’t likely sell for the top rates (up to $60M) we’ve seen in the past. Then, the planning on the release of Hillary Clinton’s fifth (yes, fifth) book has been downright military grade. There’s not just the steady drip, drip, drip of excerpts and leaks, there’s the Twitter account, and all the appearances in the works. We look at the way books like Clinton’s, Geithner’s and Bernanke’s (forthcoming) are marketed. And after, Professor Sebastian Saiegh joins us to talk about what soccer can teach us about the benefits of organizational diversity.

Tech billionaire Steve Ballmer is paying an eye-watering $2 billion for the LA Clippers. Whether or not the Clippers are actually worth this amount, how is this going to affect the price-tag of the Lakers and other NBA teams? Plus, the final vote to confirm Sylvia Mathews Burwell as the HHS secretary is expected tomorrow. We look at the importance of the Affordable Care Act’s outreach to Latinos, who are not only a big proportion of the uninsured, but also part of the healthy young segment the ACA needs. Then, we talk to Olga Kazhan about her article in the Atlantic about how vocal fry impacts women in the workplace. And later, we talk to Fortune’s Allan Sloan about the issue of tax inversion and the tax revenue that’s lost when companies go off-shore. Allan will also discuss the S&P 500’s openness to off-shore companies, as well as the Fortune 500’s aversion to them.

The Health Privacy Summit kicks off Wednesday morning in DC. Just this week, the federal government released more health data as the drum beat for access to more information gets louder. But there’s a real tension here. Many patients want their personal information kept confidential unless it can be used to help others. We take a look at the new projects run by UC San Diego and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation where personal health data could help the public good. Plus, the EPA plan to curb carbon-dioxide emissions let’s states devise their own plans. There’s already big differences among states in one area: the cost of electricity for their residents. We examine the difference in rates and the reasons. 

Harley Davidson will start selling two new motorcycles aimed at women, who account for a small but growing segment of the motorcycle market. We look at Harley’s strategy and the potential payoff. Plus, reducing carbon emissions will cost utilities billions of dollars a year. But the effort will also create jobs – building new power plants, drilling new natural-gas wells, making efficiency improvements at all levels of the power and consumption grid. Also, American Express, maker of the famous Black Card, is now focusing its business model on low income Americans. AmEx recently launched an interesting partnership with Wal-Mart, creating an alternative checking/debit product called Bluebird, which is primarily free and focuses on the underbanked. We investigate. Then, we look at a new program that works to find jobs for those who are autistic.

On Monday, the Seattle city council votes on a $15 minimum wage. The deal was hammered out by business, labor and community leaders. The resolution creates the Minimum Wage Commission to oversee the law’s implementation. We look at this unique test case for low-wage workers. Plus, now that housing prices have recovered in most regions, homeowners are once again pulling equity out of their houses with re-financings, and banks are revving up the second-mortgage biz, also known as home equity lines of credit. Also, we talk to Erin McElroy, an anti-gentrification activist in San Francisco who co-founded the Anti-Eviction mapping project that uses data visualization to track how wealth has displaced tenants in the Bay area. Then, why do Southern states in particular seem so eager to subsidize private development with public dollars? Despite overwhelming public opposition, Cobb County, Ga. commissioners voted to sink $300+ million taxpayer dollars into a new Atlanta Braves stadium. Meanwhile, Gov. Nathan Deal touts Georgia’s designation from “Site Selection Magazine” as the top state in which to do business, in part because of generous public incentives. Experts say the South gives away the store more eagerly than other regions because of history. Southern states invented modern economic development incentives during Reconstruction, when they were desperately courting financiers to rebuild the region’s devastated industrial capacity. It became a habit, and then a vicious cycle.
