This week marked the one-year anniversary of Connecticut launching its legal adult-use cannabis marketplace, so we'll connect with a spokesperson from the agency overseeing that program to look back on year one, and give us some insight on how this marketplace will be expanding in 2024. This year's CT Voices for Children State of Early Childhood report is responding to the Governor's Blue Ribbon Panel on Child Care and a Continuation of Spotlighting Disenfranchised Populations, so we're bringing in the report's two authors to unpack why its details and recommendations are so important. And we're circling back with Sustainable CT to talk about how that agency is committed to equity, and to creating communities where all are welcome and have the opportunity to thrive. We'll put out the recruiting call for summer fellows - and help celebrate Connecticut's first Gold Level certified SustainableCT community.

Local advocates and experts in early childcare education say funding and staffing shortfalls were only deepened during the pandemic. With federal relief funding set to expire at the end of the month, posing another short-term hurdle, or "cliff," what are the long-term solutions? Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal is pushing Congress for $16 billion in federal funding through the Child Care Stabilization Act. "Childcare was in crisis even before the pandemic," said Senator Blumenthal on Monday. "But the pandemic has brought it to the brink of collapse." He also highlighted the Child Care for Every Community Act, and the Child Care for Working Families Act. At the same press conference on Monday, Merrill Gay, Executive Director at Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance, called the upcoming funding cutoff a “predictable calamity." This hour, we hear from Connecticut Office of Early Childhood Commissioner Beth Bye, and members of the recently-formed Blue Ribbon Panel on Child Care. A new draft of a five-year plan, expected to be finalized by December, outlined possible solutions, including a pay raise. GUESTS: Beth Bye: Commissioner, Connecticut Office of Early Childhood Monette Ferguson: Executive Director, Alliance for Community Empowerment in Bridgeport Karen Lott: Executive Director, Women's League Child Development Center in Hartford Allyx Schiavone: Executive Director, Friends Center for Children in New Haven Jessica Sager: Executive Director, All Our Kin Where We Live is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Podcast: The PrOTect OT Cybersecurity Podcast (LS 28 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: Joy Ditto: The Evolution of Utility Cybersecurity with NERC CIPPub date: 2023-06-01About Joy Ditto: Joy Ditto is a dynamic leader and influential figure in the energy sector. As the President and CEO of Joy Ditto Consulting, she advises companies on vital areas such as cyber and physical security, resilience, broadband, and clean energy development. With her strategic prowess, Joy helps organizations shape their engagement with the federal government and improve overall performance. Her exceptional track record includes being selected as part of a prestigious Blue-Ribbon Panel to assess the Tennessee Valley Authority's response to a major winter storm. Previously, as President and CEO of the American Public Power Association, Joy achieved remarkable milestones, including a substantial increase in revenue, tripled net worth, and securing a historic tax credit for clean energy development. Joy's expertise and media presence have garnered attention on crucial topics, and she has appeared in renowned outlets such as Bloomberg Radio and NPR. With a background encompassing Capitol Hill experience and influential roles in various organizations, Joy brings a wealth of knowledge and strategic insight to the energy sector.In this episode, Aaron and Joy Ditto discuss:The evolution of NERC CIP and the inclusion of cybersecurity.Transformative progress of cybersecurity in the power utility industry.Educating policy makers on OT and IT distinctions.The impact of AI on policy and operations in the OT space.Key Takeaways:The formation of NERC CIP and the development of reliability standards in the power industry were driven by the need to address integration challenges, ensure economic benefits, and mitigate the risks of cascading effects on the transmission grid, with cybersecurity considerations being added later during the implementation phase.The power utility industry has made significant progress in cybersecurity due to the implementation of NERC regulations, which have fostered an iterative and collaborative approach, enabling baseline maturity while allowing utilities to go above and beyond to protect critical assets.Recognizing the significance of clear communication and education in intricate domains such as cybersecurity, IT, and OT, it becomes vital to present policymakers and decision-makers with simplified yet precise information, empowering them to make well-informed choices while sidestepping unintended outcomes.Policy discussions surrounding AI in operational technology (OT) must carefully navigate its potential benefits in areas like cybersecurity and efficiency while addressing concerns about control, manipulation, and potential risks, emphasizing the importance of a balanced approach to its responsible implementation. "Even though we see danger in deploying AI and maybe cutting jobs out from people, maybe there's gonna be a positive there too, like professionals who come into play, right? We need a diversity of people in our industry to be able to manage these challenges." — Joy Ditto Connect with Joy Ditto: Email: joy@joydittoconsulting.comPhone: (703) 861-6361LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-ditto-utc/Twitter: https://twitter.com/joyditto?lang=enConnect with Aaron:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronccrowLearn more about Industrial Defender:Website: https://www.industrialdefender.com/podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/industrial-defender-inc/Twitter: https://twitter.com/iDefend_ICSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@industrialdefender7120Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Many readers may not be aware that, at one point in time, the National Enquirer was associated with serious UFO research in spite of its reputation as a sensationalistic supermarket tabloid. In 1972, the Enquirer put together what they called “The National Enquirer Blue Ribbon UFO Panel,” which was made up of five UFO researchers, all of whom held PhDs. The Enquirer was offering a $50,000 reward for proof, by the end of the year, that UFOs came from space and were not a natural phenomenon. The panel was tasked with evaluating UFO cases to determine if any of them provided such proof. The panel members included four consultants for the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, and Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a scientific consultant for the Air Force's UFO investigation for most of its existence. All of them had good reputations within the UFO community, and the reader may wonder why they would put those at risk by being associated with the Enquirer in such an endeavor. It's likely that the prospect of getting some of their research funded by the Enquirer may have helped them to put aside any aversions, and the assignment in 1975 of Bob Pratt to the Enquirer UFO desk, who became respected as an investigator in his own right, may have encouraged them to continue their association.

The September 3, 2019 release of the Report and Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Alberta's Finances (the MacKinnon report) argues that both the size and compensation of Alberta's public sector are higher than comparator provinces, and suggests that the government could reduce the size of the public sector (through employee attrition), consider alternative delivery of government programs and services (through the private and non-for-profit sectors), and recommends that the government establishes a legislative mandate that sets the salary levels for all public sector employees. Those recommendations were largely followed in the provincial budget tabled on Oct 24, but the speaker had argued that in contrast to the MacKinnon report, his research concluded that Alberta does not really stand out in any way relative to the other three large provinces, Ontario, Quebec and BC, both in terms of the size of its public sector and its compensation. If anything, Alberta has tended to have a smaller public sector compared to other jurisdictions using certain measures. Similarly, the compensation to public employees in Alberta does not stand out in any way, except for the fact that Alberta was and still is a high wage province and public sector wages, at least in part, reflect this. Where Alberta does stand out is that relative to overall earnings within the province, Alberta public sector employees tend to earn relatively less than their counterparts in other jurisdictions, especially when the overall high relative real earnings in the province are considered. Speaker: Dr. Richard Mueller Richard Mueller is professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Lethbridge, academic director of the Lethbridge Branch of the Prairie Regional Research Data Centre, and associate director of the Educational Policy Research Initiative at the University of Ottawa. Dr. Mueller holds a BA (Honors) and an MA from the University of Calgary, and a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin. He taught at the University of Maine before joining the University of Lethbridge in 2000, and was seconded to Statistics Canada from 2009 through 2011.

Federal and state health officials have been investigating a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora infections linked to salad mixes distributed to McDonald's by the Fresh Express since mid July. The latest numbers from the CDC put the parasite outbreak total to over 500 cases from 16 states. Fresh Express pulled the salad mix during the last week of July from McDonald's. Last month, John P.
