Hosts: Maura Carabello and Adam Gardiner  The Legislative Session is underway and by all accounts, it looks like it will be the year of energy as the primary focus. While many conversations over the last few months seem to focus on sources and rates of energy, there are a few other things that need to be examined when thinking about expanding capacity to meet Utah’s needs. Carter Harms, Energy Modernization Officer at the Pew Charitable Trusts joins our conversation on energy legislation in Utah.   

Hosts: Maura Carabello and Adam Gardiner  On the Hill 2025: Legislation that could change mail-in voting Several pieces of legislation on Utah’s Capitol Hill deal with elections and voting processes. One new bill, HB300, would make changes to the way mailed ballots – or “remote ballots” -- are collected. The bill’s sponsor, State Representative Jefferson Burton joins Inside Sources to explain the problem this bill would be the solution to and gives insights into how it would work.  Salt Lake County Council’s priorities for the new year The Salt Lake County Council has several new members and a new Chair. Those changes could lead to a shift in direction for the council, which is now under the leadership of Council Chair Dea Theodore. She joins hosts Maura Carabello and Adam Gardiner to explain how the council works with the county mayor and describes some of the council’s priorities in 2025.  Biotechnology industry growing in Utah It seems like not a day goes by without hearing about something big or new in the tech industry. While it’s certainly a big industry, there’s another distinct – but somewhat similar – industry growing in Utah: the biotech industry. Kelvyn Cullimore is the President and CEO of BioUtah, a nonprofit group here in the state. He joins the program to break down this part of the tech sector.  On the Hill 2025: Energy legislation The Legislative Session is underway and by all accounts, it looks like it will be the year of energy as the primary focus. While many conversations over the last few months seem to focus on sources and rates of energy, there are a few other things that need to be examined when thinking about expanding capacity to meet Utah’s needs. Carter Harms, Energy Modernization Officer at the Pew Charitable Trusts joins our conversation on energy legislation in Utah.  Pres. Trump: Hegseth confirmation, court blocks birthright citizenship changes, other executive orders President Trump has gotten right to work this term with quite a few newsworthy policies, pardons, and other changes. It makes it hard to narrow in on just a few topics, but the Inside Sources hosts spend some time going over some of the biggest things, including Pete Hegseth’s confirmation moving forward, the challenge to the President’s interpretation of birthright citizen, and the declassification of documents relating to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK.

Seventeen regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) regulate commercially valuable fish species across the world's oceans. The members of these organizations do not publicize their meetings and bar journalists from attending, presenting a barrier for public awareness. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast, Africa staff writer Malavika Vyawahare is joined by a fisheries expert, Grantly Galland, and an RFMO secretary, Darius Campbell, to explain how decisions are made in regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs), the consequences their decisions have on global fish populations, human rights and labor rights on the high seas, and how journalists can better cover these secretive organizations. “Decisions are being made by RFMOs that impact billion-dollar fisheries and take effect next year [so] these stories deserve to be told,” says Grantly Galland, a project director at the Pew Charitable Trusts. Also joining the conversation is Darius Campbell, secretary of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission, an RFMO. “The sea is [vast and it's] very difficult to understand what's going on. Most of the [fish] stocks are very difficult to analyze and predict. And it's difficult to enforce [rules],” Campbell says.

The US Supreme Court announced on Wednesday it would consider TikTok's challenge to legislation that could force the popular social media platform to be sold to a US company by Jan 19 or face a nationwide ban.12月18日，美国联邦最高法院宣布将考虑TikTok对“不卖就禁”法案的抗议。该法案要求TikTok这款热门社交媒体平台于1月19日前出售给一家美国公司，否则这款应用程序将在美国被禁用。The announcement came two days after TikTok filed a petition with the nation's highest court. At the center of the challenge is the legislation called the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.这一宣布是在TikTok向美国联邦最高法院提交诉讼请求两天后作出的决定。此次抗议聚焦于国会今年3月通过的《保护美国人免受外国对手控制的应用程序侵害法》。Passed by Congress and signed into law by US President Joe Biden in April, the act requires that TikTok's Chinese parent company, Byte-Dance, divest its ownership within 270 days or face a ban in the US market, where the platform has 170 million users.该法案于今年4月由美国国会通过并经美国总统乔·拜登签署成为法律，要求TikTok中国母公司字节跳动在270天内放弃所有权，否则禁止其在美运行，而TikTok在美国拥有1.7亿用户。The law would prohibit the TikTok app from being used on both Google's and Apple's app stores and require web-hosting services to stop supporting the platform or face substantial financial consequences.该法律将禁止谷歌和苹果的应用商店提供TikTok下载使用，并要求互联网托管服务停止支持该平台，否则将面临巨额罚款。TikTok has insisted that the Justice Department's allegations are unfounded. The company has denied accusations that it was sharing user data with Chinese authorities or serving as a conduit for "Chinese propaganda".TikTok坚称美国司法部的指控毫无根据。该公司否认了有关其与中国政府共享用户数据或充当“中国宣传”渠道的指控。"The bigger issue here is that social media platforms are manipulating users and abusing personal information", and all of them are doing it no matter where they are from, said Ker Gibbs, an executive in residence with the China Business Studies Initiative at the University of San Francisco. "All the focus is on China, but Congress really should be looking at all the platforms that Americans are using," he told China Daily.旧金山大学中国企业管理研究所驻校高管克尔·吉布斯向《中国日报》表示：“更大的问题是社交媒体平台操纵用户并滥用个人信息。所有社交平台都在这么做，无论它们来自哪里。现在的焦点都在中国身上，但国会真正应该审视的是所有美国人正在使用的平台。”"There's a political case to make because so many small businesses are making money on TikTok, and they will be sorry to see it banned from the US," Gibbs said.吉布斯说：“从政治角度来看是有道理的，因为有很多小商户都在TikTok上赚钱，一旦它在美国被禁，这些小商户会非常遗憾。”In May, TikTok sued the US government to block the controversial law. The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the law earlier this month, finding the government's national security arguments legitimate.TikTok于5月起诉美国政府，要求阻止这项备受争议的法案。但在本月早些时候，哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院维持了这一法律，认为美国政府关于国家安全的论点是合理的。In response to the ruling, TikTok said that the law "was conceived and pushed through based upon inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people".针对这一裁决，TikTok回应称，该法律“是基于不准确、有缺陷和假设的信息而构思并推动实施的，导致了对美国人民的彻底审查”。"The TikTok ban, unless stopped, will silence the voices of over 170 million Americans here in the US and around the world on Jan 19,2025," the company said.该公司表示：“除非TikTok禁令被暂停，否则超过1.7亿美国人将于2025年1月19日被迫沉默。”The platform's legal challenge has garnered significant support from several civil rights organizations, who have voiced strong concerns over the constitutional implications of the potential ban.TikTok对该法律的抗议得到了一些美国民权组织的大力支持，他们对这项可能生效的禁令带来的宪法影响表示强烈担忧。A coalition, including the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF, and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University filed an amicus brief on Tuesday, urging the Supreme Court to block the enforcement of the law.包括美国公民自由联盟（简称ACLU）、电子前沿基金会（简称EFF）和哥伦比亚大学骑士第一修正案研究所在内的联盟于12月17日提交了一份法庭之友书状，敦促美国联邦最高法院阻止该法律的执行。Patrick Toomey of the ACLU's National Security Project called the law "mass censorship" and stressed that the US Constitution "imposes an extraordinarily high bar" on such censorship.ACLU国家安全项目的帕特里克·图米称该法律为“大规模审查”，并强调美国宪法对这类审查“设置了极高的门槛”。"The government should not be able to restrict speech, especially to the extent here, based on guessing about the mere possibility of uncertain future harm," said David Greene, civil liberties director at EFF, in a statement.EFF公民自由事务主管大卫·格林在一份声明中说：“政府不应基于对未来不确定危害的猜测而限制言论，尤其是达到这种程度的限制。”Negative consequences负面后果John Wihbey, an associate professor of media innovation and technology at Northeastern University, warned about negative consequences for US companies operating abroad, expressing concern over establishing a problematic global precedent.美国东北大学媒体创新与技术副教授约翰·维贝警告称这将对在海外运营的美国公司产生负面影响，并担忧这可能会树立一个有问题的全球先例。"My overall take is that there are going to be second- and third-order consequences from this we can't fully anticipate," he told the university's news outlet Northeastern Global News on Dec 6. "I think that's going to be really unfortunate," he added. "I'm worried about the precedent of it as a cascading norm around the world."12月6日，他告诉该校新闻机构《东北全球新闻》：“我的总体看法是，这将带来我们无法完全预见的二级和三级后果。我认为这将非常不幸。我担心这会成为世界各地普遍效仿的先例。”The law is set to take effect the day before the presidential inauguration on Jan 20. President-elect Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok but failed in 2020 during his first term. He changed his stance by pledging to "save TikTok" during his campaign. Trump expressed having "a warm spot" for TikTok at a news conference on Monday. Then he met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.该法律定于1月20日总统就职典礼前一天生效。当选总统唐纳德·特朗普在2020年第一任期内曾试图内禁止TikTok，但未能成功。他在竞选期间改变了立场，承诺要“拯救TikTok”。特朗普在12月16日的新闻发布会上表示，他对TikTok“颇有好感”。随后，他在佛罗里达州的马阿拉歌庄园会见了TikTok首席执行官周受资。The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Jan 10 from TikTok and government attorneys and representatives of app users challenging the ban.美国联邦最高法院将于1月10日听取TikTok、政府律师以及抗议禁令的应用用户代表的口头辩论。The court's swift acceptance of the case signals its recognition of the case's importance. As the final stop for a court case, the Supreme Court typically selects cases involving crucial constitutional questions or those that affect the entire nation.最高法院对此案的迅速受理表明其认为此案关系重大。作为法庭案件的最终裁决机构，最高法院通常只处理涉及关键宪法问题或影响全国的案件。The high court agrees to hear only about 80 cases each year from 7,000 to 8,000 petitions it receives, and it rules on only 1 percent of requests, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts.据皮尤慈善信托基金会称，在每年收到的7000至8000份份请愿中，最高法院只选择审理60至70起案件，并且只对其中1%的案件作出裁决。divestv.卖掉，出售（企业或其中一部分）

In the same way a doctor uses data to diagnose and treat a patient, states' public health agencies use data to measure and address health in their communities. In the United States, states have the autonomy to decide their own data policies, which influences the amount, quality, and timeliness of public health data they produce. On the heels of the worst global pandemic in a century—and at a time when technology is significantly changing the way that information flows to public health agencies—a new report from the Pew Charitable Trusts offers a first-of-its-kind glimpse into the patchwork of state data policies and practices that together form our modern system for the nation's public health data. The latest episode of Mathematica's On the Evidence podcast features a discussion about the report's implications with Lilly Kan of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Annie Fine of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, Mary Beth Kurilo of the American Immunization Registry Association, and Monica Huang of Mathematica.

Rich lodes of valuable metals lie on the seafloor. Will a global rush to mine them be allowed – and will doing so damage the world’s oceans? Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Scattered across the sea bed are trillions of potato-sized lumps brimming with lucrative metals vital to making electric vehicle batteries, wind turbines, smartphones and much more. This is sparking a “blue rush”, as some countries and companies are eager to cash-in on them. Yet the mining of polymetallic nodules remains banned and there are growing concerns that scooping them off the sea floor risks disrupting one of the most important, but still poorly understood, parts of the planet. In this episode, hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty speak with The Pew Charitable Trusts’ project director of ocean governance Julian Jackson on the risks. Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 2:12 Three different types of deep sea mining 6:42 Environmental impacts of deep sea mining 12:21 Why countries are pushing for deep sea mining 14:58 Implication of Micronesian country Nauru announcing intention to start sea bed mining. 17:02 Is deep sea mining necessary?

Visit us at Network2020.org.The technological world is built by critical minerals like nickel, cobalt, and lithium. As the demand for clean energy expands, so does the demand for these metals and rare earth elements. While these materials have historically been mined on land, a trove of critical minerals is lying on the seabed and being captured by the competitive, booming, and opaque deep-sea-mining industry. The U.S. is missing out in this race while its geopolitical competitors, China and Russia are getting ahead in this industry. On the other hand, scientists and environmentalists are raising concerns regarding the environmental impacts of the industry's activities. What is the scope and growth potential of this industry? How is it governed? How can countries balance environmental goals with economic and geopolitical ones?Join us for a conversation with Julian Jackson, Project Director of Ocean Governance at the Pew Charitable Trusts; Vasser Seydel, President of The Oxygen Project ;and Victor Vescovo, Founder and CEO of Caladan Capital LLC and Renowned Undersea Explorer where they discuss the deep-sea mining industry, its governance, geopolitics, potential environmental impacts and more.Music by Yurii Semchyshyn from PixabayMusic by Sergii Pavkin from Pixabay

Help inspire the future of With & For! Click here to take our short survey! Four respondents will get a special box of goodies from the Thrive Center!"The life review is a way of going back in a systematic way into your past and looking for things that you never understood—mysteries. And I had a big mystery in mine, which was: Who is my father?"We hang on to so much from our past. Regret, remorse, guilt, shame, rumination, unforgiveness… How should we think about our past? Can we reframe and redeem it for the present?Developmental Psychologist William Damon has spent his career studying the human lifespan and for almost 30 years at Stanford University's Center on Adolescence. Since the 1970s, he's been conducting research that has shaped our understanding of human growth and thriving.He's the author of numerous research articles and several books, including The Path to Purpose: How Young People Find Their Calling in Life, having written widely on character virtues, the moral dimensions of work and vocation, and moral formation for children and adolescents, and more.In the last 20 years, William has systematically studied purpose and how to operationalized it for human thriving. He defines purpose as “an enduring life goal that is both meaningful to oneself, but also makes a difference beyond the self.”But more recently, he's building a new area of study around life review. His latest book is A Round of Golf with My Father: The New Psychology of Exploring Your Past to Make Peace with Your Present. in it, he articulates a process that he's developed for investigating and kind of interrogating your life and your past for clues about your direction and purpose.William shares vulnerably about his own discoveries regarding mystery and his own upbringing that has shed new light on the latest chapter in his life.In this conversation with William Damon, we discuss:Positive youth development and the opportunities of childhood and adolescence.The practice of a life review, and how to look at our past in ways that lead to a healthy and fruitful future.The definition of purpose and how it plays a central role in human thriving.And he explains how charting a path to purpose took a very personal turn for him when he came to learn about the father he never knew, and how that impacted his life and his perspective on thriving at 60 years old.In that context, we discuss the emotional connections between courage and curiosity, particularly when it comes to pursuing self-understanding and exploring our sense of purpose and a life of thriving.Show NotesGet your copy of William Damon's book, A Round of Golf with My Father: The New Psychology of Exploring Your Past to Make Peace with Your PresentRead about Bill Damon's approach to Life Review at the Greater Good Science Center at UC BerkeleyStanford - Center on Adolescence “How does where you've been contribute to where you're going?

Minneapolis housing policy has drawn national attention, even as it sits in limbo. A recent study by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that zoning changes over the last 15 years helped the city keep up with demand for housing and keep rent down, at least compared to other cities. Those zoning changes include what's known as the 2040 plan, which made the city the first in the nation to end single family zoning – that is, until a judge put the plan on hold last fall. The next step in the court battle over the 2040 plan will happen February 21. The Minnesota Court of Appeals is hearing oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by a set of environmental groups. Multiple courts have found that the city should have first conducted an environmental study to explore the potential harm of increased density to natural resources and wildlife. Journalist Jerusalem Demsas writes about this in a recent article in The Atlantic. Alex Horowitz is a project director with Pew's housing policy initiative who worked on the study on zoning changes. Both joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer.

Have you ever been 5 days into a cold, and you're just SICK OF FEELING SICK? Did you think "hmmm, maybe I should call my doctor, or hit up the local urgent care and see if they'll prescribe me a Z-Pak"? What IS a Z-Pak? What does it do? Does it actually do anything? Is it something my healthcare provider gives me just to "do something"? What does the evidence show? Friends, we know that it may feel like if the patient doesn't “get something” after coming in for an appointment, that we have cheated them out of “real treatment”, or if we don't order something that they can't just get at home or at the drug store, that our role as physician doesn't have value? Or that we have blown them off, or don't care about their symptoms? We want our patients to feel heard, and to feel better! Sometimes setting boundaries, and explaining that the treatment plan is JUST reassurance and expectant management is HARD. So let's talk all about the most-prescribed outpatient antibiotic, AZITHROMYCIN! What is it good for (and what is it NOT)? ... and BONUS dessert topic at the end answers the question "does choosing reduced-fat dairy as opposed to full-fat have any value?" Resources for this episode include: An NBC News story about the recent mycoplasma pneumonia (walking pneumonia) outbreak. An article by the American Academy of Pediatrics titled "CDC highlights concerns over inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for COVID patients".

Stat: 57%: The percentage of Americans who believe that partisan conflicts receive too much attention these days. Story: A majority of Americans say partisan fighting gets too much attention while important issues facing the country get too little. In the final episode of our season on polarization, Utah Governor Spencer Cox says elected officials can do better at bridging our political divides. He is chair of the National Governors Association and leads an initiative called Disagree Better* that is aimed not at ending disagreements, but in improving dialogue, building understanding, and respectfully listening to others. We also hear from Columbia University's Peter T. Coleman about how we arrived at this level of polarization. *The Pew Charitable Trusts is a funder of the Disagree Better initiative.

A notable percentage of people return to work within the first five years of retirement. But what's the pathway back? Here's one that may not be on your radar. Savvy organizations who need experienced talent have created returnship programs targeting people who are returning to work following a career break. While these programs primarily have focused on mothers re-entering the workforce, some include people returning from caregiving, medical issues and retirees.  Shay Baker of Return Utah joins us to discuss how to return to work from a career break - for any reason.   Shay Baker joins us from Utah. _________________________ Bio Shay Baker is the proud overseer of Return Utah, the first public career reentry program in the country.

And we know that that's because so many jobs were lost at the height of the pandemic, especially among women and particularly marginalized women. And so while Returnships and career reentry return to work programs did exist prior to the pandemic, and they were growing slowly and steadily prior to the pandemic, the pandemic brought about this need for employers to basically acquire talent and particularly diverse talent. So a lot of organizations looked to these career re-entry, return to work models to try to appeal to people, particularly women."   On Returning to Work "We have individuals who've returned to the workforce after taking breaks to enhance their education, to start businesses, to volunteer, to run for political office. So re-entry for them is going to look different. Maybe you're not running your own company, but you're doing something that someone else is asking you to do, which comes with some adjustments. And we also have illness related career breaks, either caring for an elderly loved one or a child who may have been sick battling your own illness. And those come with an extensive amount of adjustments regardless of your reason."   On Taking the Leap "First and foremost, just do it. Don't think too much. Just do it. If you think too much, you're going to back out.

The newest survey from the Pew Charitable Trusts concludes suicide is an urgent public health issue. Their data shows that while the suicide rate increased an alarming 30% across the board over a 20-year span, the rate for Native American and Alaska Native females rose a staggering 135% over the same time. The number for Native males is close behind. At least half of those people had contact with the health care system within a month of taking their own lives, indicating an opportunity for trained professionals to intervene. It's Suicide Awareness Month, and we'll look at the promising work to turn around a dire trend.

Attend the conference virtually to learn about ocean justice and the different aspects of what it means. Watch the conference live on YouTube to hear from speakers and participate in the forum where marginalized voices can be highlighted. Check out the Ocean Justice Forum to learn more about the movement and join the conversation. Support organizations that are working towards ocean justice, such as NRDC and the Pew Charitable Trust. Advocate for diversity and inclusion in the ocean conservation movement, especially at the leadership level. Take action to protect the ocean in your local community, such as supporting marine protected areas and sustainable fishing practices. Ocean Joy Justice in Action Ocean recreation is an often-overlooked component of ocean conservation. Activities such as surfing, diving, and exploring marine life offer more than just enjoyment; they create meaningful connections between people and the ocean environment, shaping the public's perception of the marine landscape and inspiring efforts to preserve and protect these waters. During the podcast, Anupa Asokan discusses her involvement in a panel about experiencing joy and fun in ocean activities and how these experiences can enhance one's everyday life. However, she also brings attention to the lack of representation of diverse ethnic backgrounds in these joyous encounters and the need to make these activities more inclusive. By expanding these opportunities to connect with the ocean for all, conservation efforts can encourage a truly diverse community that values and protects shared ocean environments. Every Coastline Needs a Hero Local heroes can play a crucial role in conservation efforts, contributing unique knowledge to the cause and mobilizing communities to work together. These individuals, deeply rooted in the areas they call home, can spearhead efforts to protect and preserve their coastal environments. They demonstrate a profound understanding of the challenges they face and are essential participants in developing sustainable solutions tailored to their community's needs. In the podcast, Angelo Villagomez and Anupa Asokan stress the importance of supporting local heroes, who can make substantial positive changes to their environment and influence meaningful progress in conservation. They encourage everyone to help uplift these local voices and recognize their talents and expertise in finding innovative ways to address conservation at the grassroots level. By emphasizing the importance of empowering local heroes the discussion highlights a vital aspect of making conservation initiatives more diverse and equitable.
