Preventing cyberattacks can no longer be a laissez-faire mission

In early May the nation felt a most feared crisis. A part of America was being held hostage by enemies of the United States and mercenaries who were seeking over $5 million in order for the United States to be made whole again from an all too critical energy perspective. It has been followed recently by cyberattacks against a large food processing company, a subway system and other smaller public services and businesses. Over the years hundreds of millions of dollars have been paid in cyber ransom incidents.

This hour, we talk about two Connecticut dance halls, each springing from the vision of two very different men who took their respective dance halls down very different paths. One s dream soared, bringing thousands of concert-goers to over 3,000 acts over an 11-year history. The other s dream stalled, his elaborate dance hall sitting idle for decades.
Thrall Hall in East Windsor is a lot of things. By most accounts, it s a fascinating example of vernacular or folk architecture. Ed Thrall built the dance hall from materials he recovered from demolition projects, sometimes salvaging pieces of historical interest. He built it his own way following his own idiosyncratic ideas about architecture. Thrall Hall contains some engineering marvels including the use of recycled tractor trailer tires under the dance floor to give it adjustable bounce.
