Senate Bill 6's so-called “kill switch” provision, which would give the Electric Reliability Council of Texas the power to shut off power to large consumers during power grid emergencies, has faced the most attention in a substantial legislative proposal designed to address issues facing the ERCOT power grid. The bill passed 117-24. In other news, Texas public schools are on the verge of garnering a record-breaking increase in state funding after the Senate approved a wide-ranging finance bill on Friday; the city of Dallas is hosting an Expedited Passport Day for residents who need to obtain or renew their passports. The event will take place on Thursday, May 29, in the Flag Room on the sixth floor of Dallas City Hall from 9 a.m. to noon. Residents must register in advance and choose a 15-minute time slot. It takes two to three weeks to get the passport through the expedited process. The cost for adults seeking their passports for the first time is $225. It's $190 to renew and $195 for minors. These prices already include the $60 fee for expedited processing. Payments will only be accepted via credit or debit card or money order. Cash is not accepted. All passport applicants, including minors, must be present; and an effort that would force some of Texas' most iconic foods and drinks — including Dr Pepper, Blue Bell Ice Cream and Buc-ee's Famous Beaver Nuggets — to change recipes or label their products as “not recommended for human consumption” was decisively rejected by the Texas House on Sunday.

In this episode the Pride of Louisville, Kentucky, JP Davis, offers to support Kristi's non-profits K9s4COPS and K9s4KIDS, which deploy canines and their handlers to protect schoolchildren, hunt down narcotics and dealers, and combat crime across the US.   We discuss how law enforcement dogs could help in the horrific school shootings across the country. They already provide protection for thousands of school children every day, and enhance the school communities in which they serve by safeguarding both the mental and physical welfare of the children. As presidential candidate Nikki Haley asked: "Why don't we have this in every school?" Then there are the millions of dollars in drugs Kristi's dogs have helped remove from the streets with their law enforcement handlers throughout the United States.JP is a social entrepreneur, serial mega-fundraiser for important causes, and a gay man who bucks the perception that Louisville is only for straights. He's enjoyed a stellar career which has taken him from White House Intern under George Bush Jr., to assistant to a Conservative member of the UK Parliament, to returning to Louisville to launch his consulting firm, JP Davis Partners, and to his support for both infrastructure organizations and nonprofits. We discuss the challenges of sustaining non-profit organizations in a world of scarcity, from convincing federal and state lawmakers of the merits of the programs, to the challenge of soliciting the smallest of donations to protect our citizens and communities at large. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyjpdavis/ https://www.jpdavispartners.com/abouthttps://www.whitneystrong.org/storyhttps://www.K9s4cops.orgSTORIES00:00 Start00:13 In Person JP Davis "The Groupie"00:44 "You are Miss Texas" 01:01 "If you don't know what's going on around you, how can you conduct your day?" 01:24 Survival groups: Dr. Pepper, Beckys, Blue Bell Ice Cream, 'Whataburger' power outage map02:25 K9s4COPS 02:48 "It was a robust itinerary"03:25 College football; and name, image, and likeness04:30 Dude Perfect at Texas A&M05:39 JP is a fundraising guru06:09 "Fundraising is not asking for money" 06:29 The Whitney Austin Story (Whitneystrong.org) - mass shooting survivor07:35 The Pulse Nightclub Shooting - a dog could have sniffed the shooter's weapon08:33 "Projects like this give me hope"08:27 "$25-thousand for a dog?

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows. In 2021, Everything Compliance was honored by W3 as a top talk show in podcasting.

We conclude with more recent news stories for a contemporary Shout Outs and Rants section. 1. Jay Rosen has a series of shout outs and rants.

Matt Kelly rants about Harmony Montgomery who died after 2 years of abuse by her father because no one believed her mother that she was in danger. His lesson is that we must listen to whistleblowers.  Kelly has a dual shout out and rant. He shouts out to the campaign being run by John Fetterman for Senate in Pennsylvania and rants about the GOP for seeking the unredacted affidavit which support the warrant to search Mar-a-Lago.   3.

He shouts out to USC student Jake Freeman for making $110MM on Bed Bath and Beyond stock and rants about the continued failure to make the departure of a CAE or CCO an 8K event.  4. Tom Fox has a cautionary tale (with a tip of the hat to fellow podcaster Tim Harford) about the importance of good corporate governance in the saga of Blue Bell Ice Cream.  5.

The ALL ME® Podcast Overcoming Life's Challenges – Jon Peters After setting the national high school record for consecutive wins by a baseball pitcher young Jon Peters lands himself on the cover of the March 8th, 1989 Sports Illustrated magazine.  Growing up in Brenham, TX which is not only the Baseball Capital of Texas but it's also the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream, Peters was on top of the world on the outside but struggling personally on the inside. Though out life many of us will struggle with what Jon is going to refer to as “self-limiting beliefs” and it's how we handle these struggles that can determine our futures.  Jon is going to share his story of how he tried to take his life the night before he would set a national record for most consecutive high school wins by a pitcher.     Following Peters' legendary high school career, he struggled with arm problems which took him away from the game of baseball which identified him. It was while he was in college that he began to consume alcohol.  In his early 30's he was a heavy drinker that had a problem but he was afraid to reach out for help.   Shortly before his 40th Birthday he wanted to get help and finally asked for it.  He was able to check himself into a rehab clinic to get himself sober. As a believer in Christ he asked the lord to put something on his heart that could help people and that is when we got the idea to write a book about his life.  The title of his book is “When Life Grabs you by the Baseballs” which has helped not only his recovery but to share his story with others.  Within a few weeks of the books release he was called by a gentleman who had checked himself into rehab and got himself help because of the courage he received after reading Jon's book. Today Jon is working on starting his own non-profit so that he can continue to help others who are struggling.  He is a life coach for young kids trying to keep them on the path to success while staying drug and alcohol free.  This has led to many speaking engagements in schools, churches and other venues.  We're thankful to have someone like Jon on our podcast, it's an interview you won't want to miss.

James Lam is a globally recognized risk expert, an early advocate of Enterprise Risk Management and the first-ever Chief Risk Officer.  He has served as a director and chair of the risk oversight and audit committees of both publicly and private companies. James was a commissioner for the NACD Blue Ribbon Commission on board oversight of disruptive risk.  In this episode he shares his most current thinking on the evolving state of risk management and the challenges and opportunities ahead..  Thanks for listening! We love our listeners! Drop us a line or give us guest suggestions here. Links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lam https://jameslam.com  Quotes I think taking a proactive approach to risk management is one of the key responsibilities for the CRO. So, think about yourself in the first line of defense. You're running a business. You're running the IT function. You're really focused on the day-to-day, and you might be responding to risk incidents or minor crises, but a Chief Risk Officer is much more forward-looking, much more proactive, looking at things outside in, looking at things much more long term….the Chief Risk Officer really provides the expertise, the time, the attention and focus on the most critical things that are going to drive performance in the future. So being proactive, being forward looking at key trends outside in, are really important things. I think it is important that the board provides input in terms of the kind of risk management reporting that they want to see, the kind of metrics, and also guidance on the risk appetite statement and the integration between risk and strategy.   The Risk Committee and the Audit Committee wear different hats. They have very different scopes and mandates. The Audit Committee is paid to think inside the box: SEC requirements, financial disclosure, Sarbanes Oxley, FASB, etc. You don't want to be creative in your accounting. You really want to make sure you're in compliance of all the laws, regulations and standards. Whereas the risk committee is paid to think outside the box. What are the uncertainties, what are the external drivers that could impact our earnings, our cash flows, our value? How do we expect the unexpected? How do we think around corners? So, you're really paid to think outside the box, and I think that is a very compelling way of contrasting the scope and mandate of the Audit versus the Risk Committee.   Big Ideas/Thoughts Even companies with risk committees might say appropriately that strategic risk, and reputational risk ought to be a full board agenda item. There are different ways of doing it, but I think the most important thing is to make sure that the risk agenda is well represented in terms of board and committee time. What are the things that we should look at in determining whether, and to what extent, a board bears the responsibility for the catastrophic problem that might derail a company? I think your listeners could benefit from looking at the Blue Bell Ice Cream case (link) and the Clovis Oncology (link) case, both of which I think have really elevated the standards for duties of care and duties of loyalty in terms of risk management and compliance, and that it is important for the Board of Directors in exercising those two standards to make sure that there is a risk management and compliance system in place, and that system is working effectively and that the board is getting the right metrics, the right reporting and red flags in terms of risks, and that they hold management accountable.   https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=11357134939420858969&q=Marchand+v.+Barnhill.&hl=en&as_sdt=6,30&as_vis=1 (Blue Bell case) Delaware Supreme Court Ruling in Fatal Blue Bell Listeria Shareholder Suit (natlawreview.com) (Blue Bell case commentary) 2019-ca-2017-0222-jrs.pdf (justia.com) (Clovis Oncology case) Another Reminder From Delaware About the Duty of Oversight | WilmerHale (Clovis Oncology case commentary)   Chief Risk Officer The Chief Risk Officer is really tasked with making sure that there's a robust and effective ERM program, that risk management policies, risk assessment and analytics, risk management strategies, and executive and board reporting are appropriate. I would say the CRO is responsible to help the board and senior management to imagine the unimaginable. To expect the unexpected and be able to prepare for any scenario.  I worked with one Board of Directors and the company had a very strong ERM program.  In 2018, the board approved a pandemic management plan. Last year they stress test that plan and then when the pandemic hit early this year, they had a playbook.  The playbook didn't anticipate everything, but it had a curve with different stages of a pandemic, it had social distancing, PPE, you know, working remotely and so forth. We probably had 70 to 80% of the eventualities and that really helped the company be prepared for this scenario. I would say that company probably wouldn't have this plan in place if they hadn’t already addressed some of their core risks in their ERM program. A lot of companies get stuck in risk identification, So the way many companies do risk assessments and heat maps, they generally get people in the room, they say, what are the risks facing the company?  They might come up with 20, 30 different risks and they would assess the probability one to five and then severity one to five and they'll multiply the two scores to get an overall risk rating. I believe this approach is fundamentally flawed.  Let me give you a very specific example. What's the probability and severity of a Cyber Security attack that's happening to the company right now? Your firewall and your controls are able to protect against it. Probability is high. One to five, it has to be at five it's happening. Hundreds and thousands of times. What's the severity? It's low. The lowest you can be. It's a one. So, five times one is a five. What's the probability and severity of a major data breach. The probability is low. It's a one. Severity is high. It's a five, one times five, it's five. So, you end up with the same score for two very different situations.  The math behind probability times severity gives you expected loss, but your risk is not driven by expected loss, it's driven by stress loss or unexpected loss. In determining how to assess risk, I like to start with the key strategic, business, and operational objectives of the company. What's your strategy? What are the KPIs - Key Performance Indicators - that would indicate whether you're achieving that strategy? Then you say, what are the risks that could drive variability in those KPIs. What are the key risk indicators and risk tolerances for those risks?  So, start with the business objectives of the company and let that drive your risk assessment and quantification.

Anakeesta is one of the newest attractions in the Smokies. Located in downtown Gatlinburg, Tennessee, this 70+ acre, mountain village is not going to disappoint. The Chondola takes you to the top of Anakeesta Mountain where you will experience Firefly Village with its gifts shops, the Cliff Top Grill & Bar, Aunt Pearl's Pie in the Sky (ice cream and fried pies), and several other shops.For those of you with an aversion to heights, like Marc, you can take the Ridge Rambler to Firefly Village. The Ridge Rambler is a 42 passenger monster truck that takes you through the forest on the ground, rather than high above on a cable!But the real draw to Anakeesta is that it is an outdoor adventure park with zip-lines, a mountain coaster ride (the Rail Runner), and the world's longest tree canopy walk, with more than 16 bridges hanging 40 to 60 feet above the ground below.Recently, Anakeesta opened AnaVista Tower, a 60 feet tall tower with amazing views of Gatlinburg and the surrounding mountains. Vista Gardens, where the tower is located, is a beautifully landscaped area with manicured gardens and pathway. The views are perfect for selfies overlooking the mountains.Seth Mulder & Midnight Run entertained the crowds on the Saturday we were there and they did a great job of playing bluegrass music on the Plaza stage. FYI, they are misidentified as The Tennessee Travelers in the podcast.Coming in the Fall of 2020 is a new restaurant, more fire pits, a family water play area, and updates to many of the adventure features. Mentioned in this EpisodeMy Smoky Mountain GuideAnakeestaSeth Mulder & Midnight Run (misidentified as The Tennessee Travelers)Ripley Entertainment

Friday May 8, 2020 Blue Bell Ice Cream to Plead Guilty and Pay $19.35 Million

The Justice Department recently resolved two food safety criminal cases involving Blue Bell Ice Cream and Chipotle Mexican Grills.  In its largest food safety recovery to date, Chipotle agreed to a three-year deferred prosecution agreement and paid $25 million.  In the Blue Bell Ice Cream case, Blue Bell agreed to plead guilty and pay $19.5 million in fines and penalties.  Blue Bell's former CEO, Paul Krause, was indicted for conspiracy and wire fraud in an unsealed indictment.

Corporate board members have an obligation to oversee and monitor a company's compliance program.  In two recent cases, Delaware courts have tightened the standard governing board liability under the Caremark decision.  Several months ago, in a case involving the Blue Bell Ice Cream listeria outbreak, the Delaware Supreme Court applied a heightened standard when relating to "mission-critical" issues involving food safety to a food company.  In another decision, on October 1, 2019, in Clovis Pharmaceuticals, a Delaware Court denied a motion to dismiss a complaint finding that a board's failure to react to red flags concerning a clinical trial protocol satisfied the Caremark standard. In this Episode, Mike Volkov discusses these two important cases and board member liability under Caremark.

What comes to mind when you think about Heaven? Is it an eternal sing-along? Will you have to learn to play the harp? Will we have wings? As it turns out, most people’s view of eternity is shaped more by television, movies and conversations with friends than it is shaped by the Bible. For others, heaven isn’t really worth thinking about.Yet, if Heaven is where those in Christ will spend their eternity, doesn’t it seem odd that we don’t have a better understanding of it? If you were moving to another state and knew nothing about it, wouldn’t you want to learn about the place in which you would live? At the very least, you’d research what the landscape looks like, what the locals do for fun, and where they like to eat. The same should be true about Heaven! And if you feel guilty about looking forward to the treasures of Heaven, please don’t, because the essence of Heaven is the presence of God.For that reason, we’re kicking off a new 9-week series beginning this week entitled, The Hope of Heaven. Though our wildest imaginations will still fall far short of the grandeur of Heaven. We’ll discuss topics like: What does the present Heaven look like? What will the Resurrected Earth be like? What will we do in Heaven? What will it look like? And will there be Blue Bell Ice Cream and Whataburger?

If you've paid any attention to the news in the last year you've heard about the trials of businesses such as Blue Bell Ice Cream and Chipotle. The outbreaks of food borne illnesses from these and other establishments have cause disease, death, and no small amount of economic hardship.  Why is it that these issues feel like they are happening more frequently? And more importantly, what can we do to keep ourselves healthy, if anything? On this episode of 2 Docs Talk, we dig into the facts about food borne illness. Resources: A great list of facts about raw vs. pasteurized milk, with an excellent list of references at the end.
