at some of the heights. nolan reimold is going to hit the ball deep to shortstop. orlando cabrera comes up with it. long throw to first. gets past first base, and two runs score izturis and scott. >> well, you could see this throw right here. just not quite on the money, and justin morneau has a tough time handling it right there. the shortstop also gets an airer, and the orioles get two runs on the pay. >> felix pie, hits a solo home run. >> well, i think every time pie makes a mistake, he comes back with something that really amazing you. tonight he hit his 5th home run, puts the orioles up 3-0. very good job offensive. >> twins get one back, joe mauer will score from first base. this guy can really run. >> league-leading 96 rbi for gisten morneau drives in mauer all the way from first base, a double in the game gap, score 3-

1. >> chad moeller had a big night, doubles to left field, and felix pie will come around to score. in the orioles have a 4-1 lead in the 6th inning. >> easy to return the bases win the they hit it into the corner. moeller finally got a chance to play, and the orioles win this one 5-1. >> the orioles with the factory 52-75 for the season. they finish the road trip 4-5. they finish the season against minnesota. when you talk about plays and defensive plays, this casilla for second base for the twins, just sparkled tonight. >> i have seen a lot of great defensive plays in my days. i have never seen nick like casilla. watch this back hand. stunt touch it with his bare hand. flips it back with his glove. unbelievable timing,ing rhythm, anything. puts it right on the money, just like he slapped that ball off a back board or something.

it was amazing. i've never seen a second baseman do that. this guy makes a play. this is a second-grade play that he made robbing two orioles of two base hits and coming up with those outs at second base. i take my hat off to him tonight. he was amazing. it was fun watching him play. >> all over the filed. >> he was. >> no doubt about that. now, pie had an interest night the night before, and derye bounds tonight with a home run. an up and down time. >> the one thing he said in that pregame interview tonight, he has to put it behind him. he certainly did that. a little more take charge and he wouldn't have gotten stepped on right there, but then at second base, trying to tag up, morneau has the ball on the outside of the orioles dugout, and the gets flown out, takes the orioles out of of a big possible runs scoring ining, and then on tonight, look at this, his 5th home run, straight away center feed. so, you know, aside of all of the things he does that really

show his immaturity, the maturity that he is showing with a bat in his hand right now is amazing. terry crowley has been working first this young man, and since may now, he is hitting well ear .300. really starting to show what kind of tools this guy really has. he's got some power. he's got some bat speed. and like i say, he's been a minor league .300 hit we are sob he really does know how to hit. now he's sparing to put it all to it, if we can just get him to run the bases a little better, we have a player. >> let's go back to jim and buck. jim? >> jim: thanks very much. and the orioles do get the finale here in a strange series in the sense that the orioles just as easily could have swept all three games, a play here, play there the other night. last night they let a lead gets away. to their credit, they bounce back tonight, got the sweep and won the game. >> buck: i think jeers guthrie

did what you would hope a more veteran pitcher would do. just to finish up on a positive note, but the series was the the balance just about every game, a 7-6 loss last night. if you look at the series totals overall, outscore the skins by two runs. they have more extra bases than minnesota, and michael aubrey had a nice series. young was terrific. he had four hits in last night's game, and then five for six in the series, but i think overall, this is a real-good way to win this road trip, tough losses throughout the series in three tough cities, and now they have the opportunity to go home on a high note when they're going to have an extended home stand. >> it's all about building up the starting pumping staff. in the opener, chris till man pitched very well, didn't get the win, but guthrie really needed to put together back to back starts. only the third time this year he has won consecutive starts, but he was outstanding. >> and we're back here in our

studio in the masn studio. time to take a look that's at&t player of the game. turns out to be jeremy guthrie, getting a total o.63% of the vote tonight, and deserve evidently so. and chad moeller with 16%. so that's a look at the at&t player of the game. guthrie seven strong innings of six-hit baseball. the orioles go on 0 to beat the twins 5-, as pie gets his 5th home run.

>> ground ball towards the middle. out at second base! he flips foyt the shortstop, cabrera, and they force moeller. not only does roberts get robbed of of a face hit, the twins get out of it. >> casilla with just a great play, but the birds get out of it. guthrie did not walk a batter,

and is standing by now with mark viviano. >> mark: 5-1 final. six hits allowed, one run. identical stats to your win in chicago. >> it's nice. nice to be able to go out there. we have a phenomenal game. brian made a couple of great plays, and when we do that, i think the hits and runs stay down. i haven't maybe unappreciated by those who are just looking for home run highlights, what cesar does for you day-in and day-out with the wrist of the staff. >> absolutely. that's the reason we got him was to help us pitchers out, the young pitchers. we can look a lot more successful than when we're not able to make those plays. >> the twins get two runners on with one out in that 7th inning. how important was it for you to finish out that inning? >> very important. there has been a lot of rallies that have gone on and eventually knocked me out this year, so to be in at near the

end of that game, being tired, and still get those outs is a huge confidence booster. it's great for the team. >> two runs in the first inning, nolan beats out the infield hit, they get the error, so two runs score, so you take the mound with it was two-run lead. helpful? >> yeah, my problem has never been the lied. my problem has been pitching well enough to hold those leads, or give us a chance to come back and score runs, so whether we get two runs or zero, i'm hope to be get us off on the right foot, and today we get the two runs, and we're on our way. >> mark: looking forward to going home? >> absolutely. it's been a long trip. >> turn on thes to mark. 7 innings, six hits, one earned run, no walks, five strikeouts, and he was the winning pitch per. two walks in 14 innings, and a 1.29 era the last two games. that sounds more like jerusalem guthrie. >> well, it does. one thing is he's consistent

with his location. tonight one pitch that stuck out to me is is that breaking ball that you saw there, and the lobes of the breaking ball. seemed like all night long he was able to get his curveball over, and throws all of the minnesota hitters with that pitch with two strikes. good good defensive play later on. he gives one to hits back to back. you saw cuddyer get that hit right here, and he goes right back to work again. now he makes a good spot pitching with his fastball up and away in the strike zone. gets the fly ball to the right side. brian roberts hauls it in, and to get out of the inning, at fly ball into left field, too. so jeremy guthrie now building a little confidence, hitting the spots that he wants to hit, and getting the out that he really needs to get, and he really showed that savvy that we've seen for the last couple of years, starting to put it back together again, nice to see. >> a significant number, a 1.29 era in the last 14 innings, and two victories for guthrie, who

now has 9 for the season. >> nolan reimold, everybody knows this guy hustles as much as anybody in the major leagues, but watch this at bat, how close some of these pitches are that he takes. he's got a 1-1 count, now, goes to 2-1 right here, and the ball is in the dirt. he is just struggling to keep from swinging. pitches are -- nothing is down the middle of the plate, and right there, he could have let it go right here, but he did do not that. blackburn made some great pitches, but just wasn't good enough, because he catches this hanging slider, deep to short. he beats this ball but at least puts enough pressure on the short stop to not make a very good throw, and it was the big difference. the orioles score two runs just because this kid makes the infield work that much harder when he hurstles down that first base line. >> nolan reimold 1 for 4. his rookie rankings in hits right now 3rd in the american league with 82. home runs first with 12, and rbis with second at 39.

when you look back at reimold here, here is a guy i don't think anybody was talking that much about. gets sent to the miners, and yet he comes up here and basically takes over left field. >> well, he's getting the i opportunity to play on a regular basis. i think we know from watching him in the minor leagues, this kid has talent. he has tremendous power. i like his line drive power. not line drive power per se, because he stays on top of the ball so well, but for this season right here, he just hits a lot of ball strong to the gaps, and that's where he is picking up this home run. that must ail loan is what keeps he anymore favor with the coaches and the manager and everything, just the way this kid watches and what goes on out on the field, and he runs the bases, runs them perfectly. he's rounding first base, on his way to second, picks up the third base. he does so many little things well that you just almost have to overlook. anything that he ever does bad because he's got a great attitude and he's a tremendous example to everybody on the ball club what this kid does and how much effort he really

puts into it. great tell permentth, just like nick markakis, nothing bothers him either way. >> reimold drives in one, we're going to go back few to the metrodome. dave trembley's press conference being brought to you by verizon wireless. >> jim: joined now by dave trembley. your time went out and got that finale in the these. let's start with guthrie. he was outstanding. wins two games on this read trip, and tonight win of his better efforts of the year. >> right from the first inning, he had everything going for him. he pitch down. he really, really attacked the strike zone. i haven't seen that curveball from him a whole lot this season, and he had a real good one. and obviously, you know, the way the guys played in the infeed tonight was -- was a big lift for everybody. izturis, you know, he told me, i just got done talking to him, he said he had to make one play better than roberts to end the game. i'll take that.

>> >> pretty good competition anytime you have your infielders playing like that, but izturis has certainly been a stabilizing factor for this team. isn't it important for young pitchers to have a shortstop behind them? >> just goes to i show if you throw it over the plate, we don't walk people, the tempo is quick, the guys behind you are going to make the plays, and tonight was an example of let's get deep in the game, let's score some runs, you know, throw strikes, and, you know, you've got to go more than five inning, you know, you have to have your starter go more than five, it certainly makes the game a whole lot more easy. >> how about baez coming out of the inning, really kind of set the game up for jim johnson to come out and close it out? >> i thought there was one more ploy that maybe gardi was pulling on me, seeingette our last game, when the guy rap out of the stands to kind of upset his timing. that was a kind of need thing to do.

i yelled over at gardy, made the sign of a p, like i was going to protest the game right there. you've got to have a little fun, the way it's been for us, what the heck, let's have a little fun. baez i there threw the help out of pit johnson threw 95 mile an hour two-seemer. >> with two outs, reimold got that infield hit, and may is force toed thatly to by cabrera that the threw away. reimold hustled and ended up getting two runs nonthat one swing. >> he's the right guy to have up there. he's not gonna get himself out. he's going to put the ball in play more times than that knot, and i think everybody knows that varitek going to give you what he's got all the time, as far as effort is concerned, and, you know, that was a big hit for us, and, you know, roll the line-up over, and, you know, pie had a nice night himself. >>le, be dave, we appreciate the visit. enjoy the trip home. the thing about this game tonight, buck, you look at your score card. contributions up and down the line-up.

it all added up to a nice team win. >> it sure did. when you put your backup catch entire a ball game, you wants him to do a good job with your pitcher, but it's a real special game for him, too. made a contribution, doesn't get to play an awful lot, but tonight, a big game for him behind the plate. >> so the orioles go 4-5 on the trip, and now head home for a nice, long home stand. back tow to studio. >> thanks jim and buck. the upcoming schedule on masn include a ear series that begins tomorrow at camden yards, three straight night games through saturday evening against the indians. sunday the strike say ifs in baltimore for a game at 1:30, our pregame coverage starts at 1:00, and then monday the yankees. 6:30 pregame. if you can't watch it on masn. sports radio, the fan, complete play-by-play coverage there. the orioles beat the twins 5-1, knock ache round 11 pace hits, and winning the season series against the twins 3-2. ÷x÷:l:lz

this cleveland indians have come up with. very good season. 7-3 on the year, and just kind of creeping up. started the season off 2-0, and then had six decision of his first 8 starts where no decisions. so he's been pitching pretty good, although the record doesn't indicate it. >> the orioles will be play thick indians for the first time this season. pregame coverage at baltimore's camden yards. orioles bit of a the twins 5-1. now at chili's -- start your three-course meals with a shared appetizer. choose two entrees from over 15 chili's favorites, then share a decadent dessert. chili's --

hasselbeck in the 12th. even carlton has scored five touchdowns after week six last year. i think he's going to have to block a lot more this year. maybe i'm wrong, and walter jones comes back earlier than i expect in the great northwest. i'm not going to draft picks, to stay away from every single seahawk in your fantasy draft. it's time to get your season going. and the best fantasy analysis around. >> thank you, chris cover. it's all -- christopher. it's all tied up at 3. a solo jack to get the scoring started in cincinnati. prince fielder went deep. doing yard work. a two-run shot. scott rolen scores on a vargas error. >> the padres scored more runs than they had in their first six games combined. they'd go for their first sweep

>> what's up? helping you stay current with all the latest news, scores and highlights. up next, the coach. the dodgers once led the rockies by 15 and a half games, but are contributing to what could become the greatest comeback in baseball history. >> that is correct. the colorado rockies began this game with l.a. with a chance to even things. when you you think about it dodgers entering play on wednesday, that is josh fog. top first, andre ethier wasting no time. into the mile high sky. that is 4-6. dodgers up 2-0 on, top four. ethier again and again. and he has fogg's number. >> number 27, l.a. up 3-1, later in the fourth. this time with two men on, that

would be enough. >> dodgers win 6-1. randy wolf, a four-game winning streak now. he goes 7 and a third. allows only one earned. strikes out five. the dodgers are 11-3. 6-2 at coors field. andre ethier, six multi home -- run games here with albert pujols.

after sanchez's opening day performance. he changed his stance. he faces a tough road with the early schedule with new england and tennessee at home in games two and three. but sanchez knows with great power comes great responsibility. >> this comes with a lot of responsibility. so as happy as i am, i know this is just the beginning, and, you know, i'm just excited. you know, really excited to get to play. it's something i've always wanted to do. and dreams are coming true now. it's a special opportunity. but with that opportunity, like i said, comes a tofn responsibility to this team, to this organization, to the community here. and, you know, it's an all around job, on the field and off the field. right now the task at hand is getting ready for the giants. and that means staying after and studying just like i have. preparing to be the starter. knowing i'm the starter. now i need to act like it. >> i'm thrilled of the confidence the coach has in me. >> this 19 -- since 1998 there have been 15 different starting

on ortiz is hitting .227 on the season, with 22hr's.le however, when hitting fifth. he's batting .250. and half of his home run total has come prosecute that spot. >> all right, the red sox very interested in what's going on in the bronx. rangers-yanks, texas looking to make it two straight over new york. jorge posada though. bottom of the second. gets the yankees the three-run home run. his 17th. posada had to leave the game later with a bruised ring finger. but the yankees win 9-2. they bounce back after a tuesday loss. every yankee starter except cabrera had one hit. posada now has ten rbis in his last five games. >> the rays looking if are their first three game sweep in toronto in more than six years. bottom first. aaron hill at bat.

>> here's aaron hill. watch crawford, the home plate umpire. >> crawford would have to leave with back issues. the second base umpire came in to replace him behind the plate. scary moment, bottom of the sixth. scott kazmir's pitch hits tom square in the chest. goes down, immediately he would walk off under his own power. >> brian on onora would take over behind the plate. so bottom ninth. banana raw has takes jp howell deep. then later, marco scutaro comes in on the wild pitch. a wild game in toronto. won 3-2, howell, the seventh blown save. it hurts as they are chasing boston three and a half games back in the wildcard race.

take care of everything >> pitino had been told not to speak anymore about this case until it goes to trial. but his allegation after allegation continues to come out, wednesday afternoon, pitino said enough is enough. >> i told you last time that i wasn't going to say anything until the trial. but i think it's really necessary that i do now. because i'm a little up upset. this is a day i went home to comfort my wife who, obviously, as you would imagine in the last seven months would be having a very difficult time as her husband was blackmailed during the tournament, and extorted for millions ofs.

and from that point all she's read is false allegations. >> everything has been reported, everything just showing and you're breaking in the news on the day that ted kennedy died is 100% a lie. a lie. all of this has been a lie. okay. a total fabrication of the truth. except what i told you. the mistake that i have made. everything else is a lie. >> pitino went on to say they're recruiting has not been hurt one bit. we'll still bring in top 10 players. and as for syphers, she is expected to go to trial next month. >> still to come, colt mccoy has something that tim tebow and sam bradford don't have. happy about it, too. we'll tell you what it is. all is apparently not well with brett favre and the vikings ? a. why brad childress is having a. why brad childress is having to address the divided locker during the autobahn for all event, you can get great deals.

after the greatest disaster in the country, katrina. what an outstanding job you did, admiral, in serving the country and he has received great recognitn for his work and leadership for fema. but on may 26, 2006, may 25th, not 2006, i know it was may 26 because that is my birthday. our keynote speaker assumed command as a confidant of u.s. ast guard. i think we are all familiar with the outstanding job the coast guard does in responding to our national disasters as wel its law enforcement role and other rivals now with the department of homeland security and previously with the department of transportation. our keynote speaker is a leader among leaders. he is recognized for his

leadership in the west coast guard but also -- >> [inaudible] >> he's also recognized for his leadership in using social media tools and techniques and we see him here on video and we are going to see him here in person in a moment. but as the commandant, as a senior exetive for the coast guard reporting to the president, reporting directly to the president, directly reporting to theecretary of homeland security and directly reporting to the sretary of defense. why would a leader at that lel use soci media tools? why would he go to the trouble, the effort of engaging folks using social media tools? it's an example of his outstanding leadership and you will learn why during his keynote presentation.

so whout a further ado let me introduce the commandant of the united states coast guard, ladies and gentlemen, admiral thad an. >> callow i am thadlen. we are going to see very shortly the coastuard a revolution how we deal with information management and the new social media or as some people call it led to a point of. i think it's important for you to understand my personal thoughts on this as i've been living. first i think we need to understand we are not in this environment weaker wn. the changes in technology, access to the internet, personal computing d evin telecommications and cell phones have dramatically changed

the world. we need to understand this is a permanent feare of ou environment and we need to understand how to operate in it, communicate with people and put out policies that let them understand what the organization in the coast guard is and what we expect of them. we also need to undstanthat people are aggregating and dng ings a socially and a much different manner than they ha in the past. fraternal meetings, social clubs are being replaced by on-line chat rooms, groups that aggrate and facebook or other applications, and they meet and discuss, have plans, aspirations and wrecked socially it differently than they have before our people dollars as ll. for that reason, it is critically important senior leaders in the united states coast guard understand what technology is doing today, how it is changing, how we must change wh it. for that reason over the last several months i have been involved in facebook many

conversations with my staff about where we need to position the organization. in the next few weeks you are ing to see a series of messages from different people on my staff talking about different elements of social media went to .0. the chief informational officer will hawken it infrastructure and the technologies that are ongoing and changing rapidly. we need to be prepared to understand that and address it. publicffairs staff will of the policies associated with content not only the coast guard is putting out, but how you interact with us. iould like you to remember one thing to social media thad 2.0. the last coastguard day i will putut an ethos message that talks about how w treat our customers, how we defend and protect the people of the united states. all around the coast guard had also said we need to take the same concept regarding, watch

our backs and our people. we've had a series of accidents over a couple of years that have taken a toll on the organizations and devastating to milies and we can't afford that. i am asking people to get involved in social media 2.0 to understand the guardn evo supplies to them when ey are communicating other words personally, via telephone or on the web. thank you. >> any questions? [laughter] that video was made about a year ago. sohere is a little bit of date information. we are obviously using new technology and applications. twitter and so fort i have got eight lapel microphone. can everybody hear me in the back. i tend to pace sometimes when i'm talking. you are probably wondering a couple of things number one, i am not an i.t.

professional and i did stay at holiday inn express last night and i am 60-years-old saw why in the world what i carry anything about social media? or get involved at this advanced age and life in this position on hold through the introduction? the awer quite simply is there is no choice. as i stated in the videond as i tell my folks as i travel around the coast guard what we are witnessing is a fundamental change in our social a mosphere. just like there will be a change in the atmosphere based on the chemical makeup and the gases, greenhouse gases, climate change what ever, this is the information sociological network equivalent of climate change. it is irreversible d it is quite be a permanent feature of the life of an forwrd. if that is the case, we need to adapt to it, learn hog to use it, learning what it is and what it is sent and understand how it

fits in with our ability to execute the mission. for that reason i thought i should proactively explain to the coast guard where i was at personally, where we were at organizationally and how we intended to move forward. the last year we have done that but i thought it might be beneficialo you to tell you how i g here personally. again, not an i.t. professional. i don't do this for a living, don't come out in the world but i think it is interesting how we allave our personal journeys in life. where i am now regarding social media networks and social networks specifically really begins back in the early 1980's. i wa a commander of the time stationed at governors island rk and was actually a budget officer. i h been selected to go to mit and be a slow and fellow for a year a was doing background reading and stumbled across book by a professor at the

harvard business sool, and the book readas almost consequeial books i read in my entire life and the book is the age in the smart machine. this is about the time the personal computing was beginning to take off. in the age of the smart machine, she focused on the interaction of computational capability, smart machines as it related to work environments. our work focses mostly on the industrial portion of the countr which has now been highly automated as you know. things like aumobile manufacturing and we're macne tools and robotics were coming in and displacing some work and making work more digital than it had been before. but it started me thinking that the intersection of computation and the work we do every day. the cond book that was consequential leading me where i am at today and i am not sure it is still in print it wacaught

fire in the valley and it was published in the mid-1980s and negative a paperback version. it is the history of the personal computer. if you go back and read the book and look at how the personal computer was created you will find those people involved in that considered themselves somewhat of a social revolutionary. there was actually a fault in their this would enable people through computational power to gain power a lower levels of government and in our people out there, and in fact they got it partly right. as we all know through rsal computational pability has been growi rapidly in this country. what they didn't understand at that time that was loomingver their eyes was the internet. and we are seeing now is intersection of compational capability and the communications and data capability the internet brings and advance itechnology since

then. as i started looking at my work inside the coast guard, one other ctor played io that, and that waa gentleman in the navy named art, the father of eckert warfare and the concept of that in the navy and theod. he passed away from cancer a few years ago but he came up with a term called selfynchronization and his thought if you put information out and make it transparent and ma a ubiquitous and available to everybody there would be less task direction to be given. people understand the goal of the organizatn and would react instinctively and there would be less friction and inertia to have to be overcome to make the organization movednd that is the basis of networ centric warfar at that point, i develope@ a term that doggett me am and entire professional life. i was in a meeting -- this was made 15 years ago and i said

something related to his work and i said transparency of informationreed's self correcting behavior. and what it does is provide immediate feedback loop bas on what you're doing and information and firemen yotr operating in and information is available to the organization. if it is out there and transparent you will in fact have to get less direction. you will hav more cohesive more efficient operation moving forward. as we move forward into the ternet age it became clear to me tt the next thing that was impacting first of all computations and communications was network theory. and i would offer to books if you haven't already read them. one is linked and the other is nexus and this is the emerging science of network theory as a successor to the chaos theory to explain the phenomena how we interact with each other and i am talking about small networks, random links as a way to plain

things like epideology and other phenomena that we see in the world around us. and it became clearo me reading onhe network theory we were slowly replacing the way we aggregate human behavior as i said where people used to meet in social clubs for the interaction there might be some other benefit supporting charities and things like that people do not meet and aggregate and produce behavior's together the same way they used to and they're used to be soci networks but they are based on physical face-to-face contact and meeting and they were based on physical locations of geography. now they are based on interest, affinity of groups to operate in and they can meet and interact virtually and have the social interactions and produce effects, benefs to siety through those networks without having tbe physically, cated. when i started thinking about

thefcts on organizational structure th computational capability, communications intern andetworkee recombining it was clear to me there was something there. and i wasn't sure quite how to move forward in the coast guard and deal th it, so i decided to stick my toe in the water so a year ago last april, i started a facebook page, personal facebook page and that kind of begins experimentation that produced interting results for me personally and the coast ard. i would like you to go through because the issues are pretty instructive about what everybody going to deal with as you try and changerganizations and adapt to that new atmosphere as i told you about. the first thing is some of the immedie staffround and especially my staff were aghast i would put personal information to the public especially post-9/11 environment. so there's always going to be th notion of risk and i had somebody that worked very close to me that wasn't crazy about

what i was doing to clear herself ternet intvert. [laughter] which meant it's okay for you but don't a me. [laughter] than a couple of things started popping up. my profile picture had me uniform. i arted accumating friends and they srted accumulating rapidly. got to several hundred then somebody posted the question why are you dustin beat an official information to a selectd group of people? and i thought about that so i called the lawyers in and then they started dealing with estions about the ever asked before a was a good qudstion. if i agoing to be speaking to my official capacity as the coandant of the coast guard, and i'm only speaking to a selected group of people there are issues about sunshine walls and equal access to information that i hadn't even thought about. i was standing the value i had of interacting on facebook with a lot of people. so at that point we basically

split facebook. i went to a persol sght, took a picture of me in a uniform and with a persona picture on and deleted everybody that was not a friend d established a, of of the coast guard page where fans could sign up and we kind of did away with that problem. the next ises we started dealing with were content that would show up that might create cause for action or duty on our part to respond. if you think about it, these are indications we he had people on the facebook report tngs like sexual assault, potential wrongdoing by government employees so the next question was what do you do with that information when it posted publicly and how do you deal witht. fees one all of situations that we had never dealt with before in the coast guard that led us to issue a series of directive to our pple on what you can and can't do, and again it was

indicated in the videos on how to do it infrastructure and curity which will talk about in a mine and the rest had to do with when you talk about, what should you talk about and areou operating in personal capacity or official capity as somebody that's in the coast guard. these were discussions that have a lot of ambiguity in faultn dead. they raised some legal issues, raised some ethical issues and we found out these are the things you have to talk about if you are going to introduce this type of technology in an organization you have to e prepared to have these conversations and be prepared to say what the organization is and what they will do in these situations and you have to dene yourself organizationally and personally invite you how you are going to interact and deal with these types of situations. d so we move forward. in the coast guard we have long tradition in public affairs of letting people deal with the

media if they have a basis t deal with the media, andur basic bumper sticker is if qou know about you can tk about it. and because of that we will have a second class walk off the boat in a rescue the press wl be there. we waft him to talk to the press. we want him to expln what the operation was about. it is a way for us to be transparent and to achieve credibility with the people falling on us and the media because they arealking to the pele with their hand on the wheel that pulled those people out of t water. on the other hand, if they are asked second-class what did he think about the $30 million to the bill and the house didn't how that should be conferenced, shouldn't talk about that. all i can talk about it, so this notion of if you know about you can talk aboutt had to be transferred to help peopl interact on the internet because it is still means of communication. you're dealing with mea and people in the public seeing what

you are doing and we worked through that and basicallyut out guidae for interacting on the internet and with social media that mirrors the same set standards we ha for dealing with media at large. the next issue we dealt with was security. the most common question i get at meetings on the coast guard is why can't i accs facebook and twitter from my workstation on my desk and the fact the matter is the united states coast guard has a military service operates in the milram domain and my answer is you can't, you won't, you never will. that doesn't mean i'm against social media but the isss related to security, the potential for intrusion and now we're on some of these applicatio the risk is too high to involve our global information grid and how the military operates and this is standard in the coast guard

acss the entire military. and that includ things like use of some tribes, media that create a greater risk to the infoation grid. with that said,e cannot not engage. so the challenge i have laid out is you pretty much have to have an addition to whatever mill press sincyou have for work in the coast guard you have to have a presence in the other domains where youan interact if you are going to be successful. so we are in the process of stand-alone capability to do that. now, in my case it takes a little of an investment but it is not that harto do. we just finished a trip last week to the arctic to aska and on that trip i took with me the chairman of the council on environmental quality, david has from department of interior, dr. jane undersecretary of commerce and administtor of noah.

we also held the first field hearing for the president's ingency task force on the ocean policy. because the plane was full i took myself and my public affairs officer, and iphone and a digital camera capable of doing video. en point barrow and pas of alask we were able to come off and successfullblog and tweet and provide updates nearly continuously for the entire week and as a resulof that the coverage we g out represented out 44,000 use of my block. we would not have gotten that any oth way through tradionaledia making release is talking about it when we got back plus people are interested in issues on climate change got to see office real-time visiting

native village where erosion was basilly washing away the town. we were right there. we took pictures and talk to the mayor and interacted with natives clear up to dealing with the hunters thatpoint -- point barrow. priceless. the case made in my view. d e issue for us ming forward is how to make this happen and stay whin security boundaries as i said. so we a gng to the coast guard said it 24-hour presence and a dot com domain where we can interact with stakeholders and we have to do that also because you don't know wh will show that may require you to make responses. we have had a search and rescue cases made starting on facebk. now there is an issue moving forward that is what is the standard care.

whats my standard of care when we become knowledgeable o something via the social media at we have a mission responsibility for and i think we are still sorting that out. just like somebody comes up on the radio and they make a distress call and sometimes they are hoaxes. we have to figure that out and how to dispatch a rescue unit and what to do with that particular queueing for the sets. we need to figure out how that is going to work with social media because that isn't going away either and it could be just about the time something happens in boat person on facebook the time, they collide with an objt and start taking on water and the only thing they can before they getutf the boat is a type of application up there to mabey facebook. you may think that is a slim possibility, but after 38 years in the coast guard i will tell do these things do happen. more often than not. as a result of all of that, i

tried to position our service to move forward on this to the extent we can introduce this and to the workstations or take these technologies and moved into the internet and u.s blog chat rooms and wikis in the coast guard. that's where we need to be going. i want to hit a couple of points and would be glad to go to some q&ao have a conversation with you. there is an area of government that i think couldenefit greatly from this technology. and that is the issue of licensing, permitting, and rulemaking. i am talking about the actions we take as agencies in the federal government under title v of the procedures act. it's how we make regulations, how we do permitting. al of these are subject to the sunshine while subject to open disclosure and records ofhat goes on for. but the process by which we

issue regulations in this country right now is long and laborious and sometimes can tak years even with a substantial mandate to issue these regulations. i to issue a regulation on invasive species in this country. these are organisms that come and water in ships that can be pumped out. there's a substantial problem in the great lakes right now with zebra mussels clocking in takes that were introduced rebalanced water and ships. the original mandate for the coast guard to address this was issued in 1996. e country shouldn't have to wait 13 years for regulations to become effective and i will not bore you with the detls how many starts and stops and what happened. i will tell you since you talked about the gov loop dealing wh the administration there has to be way to taken advantage of wikis technologies to get a

solutionased on public input before you ever going to the rulemaking process and cut that time out of the officials process that takes us so long to issue relations right now and i think there is a theory we ought to be exploiting and i challenge my people tcome up with wayshere we can figure it out the key public issues, find out whereeople anand have all gf the discovery de befe we go into the process where thatoesn't havto be done under all of the constraints put on bye statute moving forward. that's one area where i think social media web 2.0 can advance the effectiveness of government. i guess finally we are never going to get away from the security issue in the coast guard. and it's something like my people will have to learn to deal with what i hae to tell you there is an expectation of people coming to the military and governmenservice and they will have access to these type of technology and tools as we

know they are called digital data this. they are in th atmospherend expect when they walk in the door and we don't change i think sooner or later they will adapt and provide these technologies and access to younger people we issue regarding attention and attritioin the work force, and they are perceived quality-of-life organizations. so, i congratulate you all for being here on these two days. it is a fascinating subject. if i wasn't booked i might be in the crowd with you taking notes to extend my personal journey. i guess i would end with the following comment. one of the reasons i got involved in this 20 years ago d i didn't know it was going to end here, i got involved because was interested in the intersection of computation robotics and work spaces as. but you get to a place like i am now through a process of lifelonf learning and one of the people i am a devopeef is a

professor of at mit talks about corporate knowledge lifelong learning. i think social media offers the ability to have better access to knowledge and to become a lifelong learners and state lifelong learners and i would commend that to you because it is easier to do now than it ever haseen before and i find it in power in to be able to get information, grow and learn especially some of the policies i not an expert on that happen to be converse it as a senior leader in government. so once again, thanks for having me this morning and i would be glad to take any queions and good luck on the conference. [applause] >> there's a microphone. microphone there and please go ahead. >> i am with the u.s. aid. right now we are trying to set up governance practices and notices for exactly what you are talking about. it seems to be a waste of time

since all these other agencies have already done this but nobody is sharing it. is there a way we can share the information that -- the work you've already done so we don't have to duplicate the effort? >> it is all online and we will giveou the web site so you can get to it. it's all there. >> also have you been looking at second life at all as a possible -- [laughter] -- social network? >> actually, i gotn account on second life and signed in and i haven't played with it personally that much. i understand that this is a significant opportunity for that. i will tell you this, the notion of expanding t technology beyond what i talked about and moving to spatial representation, three-dimensional representation i think has significant potential befits. i dgn't think we have extend

the urney in the coast guard that far. i put my nose and as an individual. i can tell you where i see potentiaoperationally and that is visualizing the space o there we have operations on. right now we simulate search and rescue cases and over the yes built sophisticated computer models that give women the information and current information so if we knew that somebody made a distress call at pgint x we could do problem is the draft and come up with an area to search where we have the best probably finding them. there are applications we need to thinkbout in a three-dimensional spac especially with the water column and air column. and in fact in the defense department some of these tools are starting to be used right now. we just haven't percted in the coast guard but i think it is queued up a coming. >> thank you very much.

>> michael with careerbuilder solutions and my business is recruiting and i've been following twitter, youtube, facebook and everything y guys from a public affairs perspective. what are the plans for coast guard to replicate go coast guard on facebook or something you use a social media more as a recruitment tool? >> tre are plans to do that in fact, about five or six years ago we came up with a brand for recruiting. all the military services have them, the few the crowd and the marines and army of one be all you can be. we came up after 9/11 with something called thehield of freedom and that is pretty much run its course. we are under our fifth or sixth year. this weekend will be rolling out our new bumper sticker if you will, and after we have done a lot of testing and talking to the affinity groups and everything, we are going to try different ways to use this and recruiting including social media and the other thing we are going to look at is plus circuit

channels on universities where you go to the student union and have the videos playing by you can put other content and. we are going to try to do that for the new recruiting slogan. by the way we did a lot ofork about people who have propensity to serve in the military and príncipe to be on the water in the coast guard like work and our new slogan is bourn ready. people that want to do something else with their lives and sitting at a desk acted and their and all the sudden ar in the coast guard uniform. >> to watch and see how we do. >> linus tammie and i work with a defense, the agency and we are going to work this issue now and

a social dia and learn more about it and one of the things we are finding is finding the personnel to do that specifically to keep track of facebook, twitter, a of these things that need immediate response and going through excuse the expression but there is a lot of the only way i can ink about it is cracked in the internet that is it relevant or smart, you don't know who put it on there or whether it has anything to do with real life and you wonder how many people it takes to keep track of all this stuff and keep updating it like if we are going to have our updated have a blog we need to have said answers and answers coming up we need these answers we can put in acid i his name that kind of thing so it's like how many people we are going to have to deal with on limited budgets. >> those are all good questions.

all you have to do is have access to a computer fe and you are in this wld to work. so, as i have told my folks early on, regarding what else is out there and how you may characterize whatever else is on the internet and to correctly characterized some of it as not being that savory theact of the matter is we can't control that. and early on and we had serious discussions and so the coast ard how to deal with that. we've actually had congressional oversight hearings based on what was posted on the internet. regardless whether it was right or wrong and might response to my people is stop worrying about it, we can't do anything about it. don't let thatent space in your head and i ce up.

you've got the big pictu of where's waldo in there and iou have to find him. you either philip this case with information that is put out there on your terms or leave a vacuum somebody else will fill. that is the reason we have no choice but to get involved in tests otherwise information we put out whether it is correct or not that will drive opinion makers and drive affects materially impact your orgazation. and whe you cannot change what goes on, and as i have told everybody the responbility for the veracity of anything on the internet rests with the reader. w@at you can do is put out information on your own. the second part is capacity to do that. the wrk we did on the north slope which was bloing and reading and posting of pictures to flicker was done by myself and litenant commander russell

in the back of the room. raise your hand, tony. we did it with two macs, iphone and a video camera with high-definition capability. that was it. people think this is a lot of work. i don't think it is. if i of sittg watching a football game i am not doing anything durinthe commercials so i have a laptop on my lap and am ta the day t time and i fill up to that sort of thing and hasn't been an impressive load. that said, by next month or so we will have three permanent and this has to do more with 24-hour surveillance and understanding when something is put on that it will havto do something or react to wait and i am more concerned about a post that comes on at thr in the morning that creates responsibility to do something we don't know about. is is not personnel intensive. it requires understanding of wh to do and use of the technology. all of our pictures get dumped

on to flicker. i can block street from the photograph without having to go to my blogger negative board. we are talking minutes. and again, the majority of what goes on that you see in the coast guard is on why myself and onether person. >> i am coming to capacity, one from epa from the web speed 2.0 and also as a proud parent of the coast guard officers serving in the coastuard and i applaud you getting into the social media world. i have e question and to suggestions. my first question is w would you as the commandant on ed fisa and agencies as an a vice how to

get social media's entrenched in the social culture of deployed be read we are governed as very hierarchal. how can we flat in that given the social culture we have right now why don't you answer that question? >> i don't think it is a matter of choice. the way that young people are at work rig now they've flatted their organization. they are talking and if they are not talking on their computers they are talking on their text pages so the organization is flat. the responsibilities are how we got flat, how you can interact and cause of facts in yo organization and achieve what i talked about earlier, self synchronization where ubiity of information and transparency

with and security measures breed self correcting behavior and direction. i think that is ere you want to go. you dohat by first taking the stuff that isn't controveral and blocking it down. one is infrastructure, security anduite frankly did with. one of the other reasons not having these things on miers' bandwidth and the isss it causes with presence. ofce youet that set the second thing is on the organization and legal implications in setting out rules and again there are templates on how to do that and it isn't just the coast guard. there are other agencies doing it and i think when you do that you are going to find that you areust tapping into a network that pre-existed but you are doing it to the best interest of the orgization rather than self directed and genered. >> i think you are on theight track for the rule making because the epa as you know --

>> that can't happen fast enough in m view. >> just wanted to let you know that with blocks and wiki, don't forget the back end of this system as repositories. they do very well and providing the chronological order of the comments and feedback back and forth. i'm talking about getting all thatn publ before we go to the rule making progress there for going through affirmati of what you already know shortens the time line already existing out there to enter into the record >> that will be coming up probably we have the first example leader on maybe early fall time frame. will just watch and wait. we would love to invite you to

talk with las -- >> i am scheduled to meet with lisa jackson and will have a conversation. >> weigel interest is a parent, as coast guard's they are being stationed especially in the winter with icebreaking but when you don't get information bk and forth an e-mail because they allow you to use the computer within even all of time this is what i was told that we don't get as a parent we are kind of worried and this is natural. we would like to extend a capability that you just mentioned and to at least have some comfort, maybe some kind of communication between the parent and child. >> our policy allows e-mail. there are restrictions due to bandwidth and the location of the vessel that may preclude how

often are frequently they can do it but there isn't a ban on e-mail. there are physical and infrastructure constraints. >> as a suggestion do you have remote access from secure parent -- >> i will tell you this i was at the graduation of boot camp in new jersey week before last when they gng to boot camp for eight years they have no self phones come on pods, computers because they are going through training and indoctrination and the first thing they do is have the recruits sit down and write a tter explaining that is what is going to happen to their parents. do you know ho many people in the firm had written a letter for the first time? [laughter] i tell my people we want to honor the past but not orate in it but there is a limit how much you can do this as a substitute for face-to-face

communication and writing skills and i would hate to see us erode our ability to speak and write because we do everything fo computers. thank you. >> one last question. >> that is a good segue. you talked about digital natives which would be your incoming training group that you just mentioned. when i first walked in he talked out dot mills and social media th will never have it and can't. >> they will never see access fr the domain. >> i want your thoughts how you reconcile that with proble as you said problems of retention and how the oast guard and u.s. military can reconcile meeting of the technologies to keep the newer generations. than -- i also appreciate all of your efforts and forward

thking with coast guard. >> i think we have to transform -- that me give you a military center cancer. in the coa guard we have something called loral welfare and recreatio how weandle the activities and every one has a welfare type organization. in the past that means social events, holiday parti, athletic equipment, that kind of thing. think we need to understand in the future it requires us to rethink that. and i think ultimately what we have to do is figure out how to create stand-alone capability in things like kiosks where cafes have access to this outside of the dot mills domain and they are doing and where they are suppose to be secure but in othe activits they engage is no different and recreational activity would have been 20 years ago thewere planning a softball league. i think that is the appach we have to take and tho areas where it's partf their

personal life and quality-of-life we nee to deal with it through that aspect and i think we can do that. i will give you a good example in april and i was in the persian gulf forces over there, the coast guard prodes control votes hostilities to protect oil platforms off of iraq because the platforms should 85% of their gdp. they had containers on the oil platforms people sit out there and demanded weapons to make sure there are no tax on the platforms set up by the department of defense this waa container, shipping ctainer, there were six stations with computers and satellite linkage to the dot com, not the dot mills, and that is the number one activities of that is e way we will have to do it. there's a middle cost associated but it is like physical fitness equipment and everything else, something we have think about providing especially if we are

going to say tre is a limit what you can do especially in the dot com related security. thankou. >> thank you very much, admiral. it is clearly your comment f inspirational, and when folks always say you can't do this and you can't do this you prove them wrong through your forward thinking leadership you have done it and you've done it yourself so we think you for your outstanding service to the country and your leadership as a, of and coastuard and your leadership for the country. please join me again thinking the admiral. [applause] we have a small token of appreciation, a memento for appreciation today which is under the government ethics guidelines. thank you again. >> just to mention you had asked

there should be more work on regulations and rulemaking and in response to your request this afternoon we have a session, after all, on regulations.gov to talk just about that. thank you. with that we will turn the program over to ken fischer, the prram director for point barrow. >> thank you. that was great i think hearing people speak candidly on the admiral's position on these things and where things are going rather than the current policy is helpful for everyone. want to mention pf gov i had up on the border earlier i don't think i mentioned it, so please tweet, tweet what re questions you have or what u would like to learn more about or what you thk is iortant about what we said so we can collect those and

t them on the wiki. lt. cmdr russell will be sending need links to the coast guard published policies and other gov2.0 documents and i will make sure that all of the speakers get that as well as being publishad in the gov loop communidy. just want to read a quick- [inaudible] >> pound pf .gov. this isn't just technical geeky stuff but nation stuff on the security ramifications. this was sent by dr. wells. we can't ignore social media if other nations are using it. both friends and adversari. if government keeps not making use of technologs we willot be aware of things that could affect ldership.

the ting assista secretary and the dod for two years on the other civilian posts as well last 26 years in the navy. today he talks about where technology and leadership intersect and what imeans for all of us. dr. wells? [applause] ..

this is the narcoterror is scroop. within a week he had 20,000 supporters on facebook and a month to the day after his post re than 1 million people marched in over 165 cities in 40 countries against the farc in a campaign largely organized on facebook. as many of you know the first indications of the attacks of mumbai came by twitter twitter was used extensively by all sides of the gaza fighti late last year. and as the admiral said if you happen to beble to sort the wheat from the chap, there was disinformation, there were oops, there were red herrings thathis was out there in an issue of global importance.

then of course we also what happened in the aftermath of the iranian elections so government cannot ignore this. nick delling w is sid irrespective banker person fo bbc basically says that the velocity o information in this space is so compressed the timeline for government decision-makers to respo that they are going to have to invent new ways to address these problems. his estimate i think is on the order of threeo five hours. the were going to run the risk of becoming irrelevant and whereas the folks in the blogosphere and tweeters don't need to be accurate, the government has to be accurate and that puts an enormous burden on the present processes so this is where leadershipomes in. you've got to find a way to change your organization to address this. so, what can they do? let me talk about four areas

first of a make informed risk-management decisions, not just risk avoidance. second is to responsibly empower the workforce. third to recognize there's more strength in responsibly sharing and formation then and hoarding it in the fourth is to avoid micromanaging. you've got to train yourself not to do it. so as admiral allen said the elephant in the room and all of this is security and it is not just national security. it is privacy, it is accountability and sorting out the week from the chaff. the balance between security and sharing has been one that certainly the national security and the intelligence defense community has been wrestling with. lee since the early part of this decade, the appendant network enabled network center capabilities, the concepts that ed to know versus need to share have been increasingly part of the discussion and vocabulary.

w we are talking about moving beyond this environment, to deal outside the boundaries of the government space. mark crapo, who is he, and i co-authored a paper on social software in nional security anone of the constructs and the paper is for broad functions of sharing. broadly divided into sharing with no entities and sharing with the non-entities so it the consider inward and outward sharing to be sharing among no entities and inbound and outbound sharing to be among unknownnd deasy can begin to parse the probl a bit. so and nordby sharing within your organization among people you know. out wert mike sharing with the defense department state department but between people who are known to each other. and beand would be receiving feedback from the public, the pot admiral allen made about regulatory issues and then

outbound would be the kind of blogging and posting of pictures he talked about in his trip to the north slope, security needs of each of those are somewhat different and i think one needs to take a look at how the social software fits into that. for example we have asked a-10 oad categoryf social software from blogging t mioblogging to photos to videos and things like that. and if you then take three instante agent of these, so this might be flicker versus picasa, you get 30 ffent entities so questionably, the question we have that security people, could you put these into four broad categories? okay for use in fran protected enclaves, suitable for use outside the firewall? suitab for use in the following restrictions across the boundarie and ner acceptable. so examples of using within

protected enclaves of the excellent work of the intelligence community hasone with things i intellipedia, working outside of the fire earl would be the kinds of things the abreau was talking about with regard to 24/7 coverage. tso began to approach it from perhaps the problem becomes a little bit more manageable, so it is onthing to say that you are never going to have fac%book on thought mill. that is probably true if you are dealing th facebook out to restricted access to the outside world but it may be can use facebook effectively or sothing like facebook within a protected enclave in get results trying to work tough these rules. this is more than just the fence. it deals with virtually any agency that has to interact with the public which is to sale of the government and a networking environment domansky do it, said the second pieces we need, the leaders need to empower the workforce to beat responsivy and i suggest that youould do

this by showing yourself to your workers, encouraging the responsible use of cial software. so, if you know about it, you can talk about it, i think it is very good way of posing a problem but we shoulnot discourage our people from ever touching this stuff becausehey met their going tdo to begin wi thee we will probably learn from them and how they find ways to make use of it. what needs to create a culture of social software experimentation. this isfter all experimental. two weeks ago or three weeks ago i can't roberts in california, i am part of a proje providing sort of sustainable support to stress populations. we we out in a naval postgraduate school eld periment in california, where weaver able to take people from

industry such as google, a number of non-governmental organization have a number of government people, and the imagery provided by the government compared with agery produced by an unmanned air vehicles, m.a.s.h. in this together in geospatial lee informed products like mensah and pictures that coulde rapidly updated through things like short message system texted beads or twitter beads so you could get real time situation awareness of what was happening in the region based on much better access to imagery then you had before. this was allnvented on the fly in the span of about five or six days out in california. within 1 days from the time people first got together it w on the ground in jalalabad and afghanistan being used to monitor things about the election and even got into the usa press release. this was ithree weeks ofhe time it started.

to encourage people to experiment responsiblyith this. all of this was outside of the boundaries. all of this was a totally open source again. we are tryingo encourage people to find new ways to do business. in this vein, empower your people to be authentic. authentic in this model is don't be perceived as being stooges for the organization. you want people who can go out there and engage in social software space, speaking as themselv to may be employees of general motors or they may be employees of the dartment or whatever but they are seen as representing a reasonad view of what is going on in the organizaon and not being a mouthpiece for the organization. its one of the key to establishing trust in this kind of discussion. in terms of the generational gap, there is a very-- lady who has written a book called plumbers to bloggers and she is interesting inshts about how

you bridge the gap across the digital divide between t digital natives than those o us in the workplace a few decades longer. the third point is t recognize there is me strength and response to sharing information. this was a major discussion thughout the intelligence communities and the early part of 2001, too, three, four and five. one of the point here is that a lot of the innovation that is going on in this space is what markets turned the new de jure roddick. a lot of innovation is occurring in the sma companies. it is not incurred in the big defense contracto and not happening inhe large scale integrators. how do you get your people out to talk with folks like open street mapand small companies that are redoing creative things andncourage those actions. at the same time we will have to discourage comfortable legacy systems.

intellipedia has done exceptional work within the intelligence committee in using analysts to come together and look at things differently but it has dramatically impeded if you still have stopiped bross c-span proceed in parallel that says you can go to take a lot of tra time to p something intellipedia but you've still got to feed all the things to the normal channels that go to stovepiped users so you need as a leader to try to tie your processes of their organization into these new waysf doing business. the final pce that is to avoid micromanaging. the navy has a great story about this. in tha late 1980's or so we got joint operational tactical system that went across the whole theater so you could walk across the entire it led seaware ships were, seaware planes for. within weeks the commander of the fleet sitting up there in his headquarters on an island soplace was calling commanders, the opating force

that seas saying i think you ought to move the ship 25 hours northeast. they would say how di turn this thing off? what happened was the navy then went to a system called controlled navigation which basically says that mall or commodores or deborah the pace of modern warfare is moving too fast f you to control everything. you've got to delegate in your model is controlled by navigations. if you don't like the deacons that then, that is fine but by and large we supported so there was an interaction. i think most peoplhave inrnalizedhis now, and something like that, the intersection between leadership and technology is really important part of our training program that w need to focus on. recognize the can't control the message. the admiral said, organization is already flat. maybe did not but the organization is already flat. you can control what is out there. the best you can do is p your story out there in as many

formats as many people are going to use and compete in that space, not try to ignore it. so a good example of that by the way as comcast. which was apparently getting really bad press for its custer service and one of their customer service represtative said, watching thewitter feeds, saying what was happening and set up a system where when somebody tweeted negligibly about comcast he would respond and say, how can we help you, how can satisfier problem? danish jorde pig a ton the company went from ving one of the lows customers in service satisfactions to getting a good one. so, lifelong learning, the admission this. not only the need to commit to it yourself, you haveto reward it in your employees. was listening to-- wittstock about singular is and has done intesting work on the villosity technology. the point he makes is as han beings we tend to think

collerally. you take 30 steps and you move 30 paces and if you e going to shaded tiered you figure out where it is said you calculate the verret in villosity and you pull the trigger. the problem with technology is, is movin exponentially, and so we all know about moore locka emmy 18 months, total number of transistors per chip. infinite that the amount of computing power per unit cost is doubling about every 11 to 12 months. so let's say it is 12. so, if you have ten years, that is to to the tenth hour, ten doublings, which is 1024, 1,000 times change in ten years. in 20 yearst is 1 million times change. and 30 years it is a billion times change so in t course of our careers that we tend to think 30, 30 years, step-by-step, the technology in which you are working will have changed a billion times and if you are not committed to

lifelong learning to incorporate an understanding of whats happening then you are feeling your organization and feeling your employees. we must take the time to do this. we must take the time-- others are doingt whether we like it or not and it is the first responsibility for leaders to do that. there's a great quote from reza reagan this says there's no limits to growth and human progress when women and men are free to follow their genes. social stephanie greenhut is one of the great levelers of allowing people to express themselves then follow their initiatives. we i government, we in business need to take advantage o it. thank you very muchn love me en it to questions. [applause] come on, there has to be least some question somewhere. okay, i will give give back some

of your calendar time then. i have a question here. yes sir, there is a microphone over here. mic. >> i was at a conference last week with the military services, and on advance distributives learning, and there was a lot of discussion about social media of within dod, and i wld just like your take on what the process is going to be before there is some adjustment within dod in the ulization of the social media? >> the deputy secretaries find out the memo on the 30th of july caing for a very intensive review and that think due by the 30th of september of addressing how social media is to be used within dod. for exampl the marine corps has just been social works sites.

i had an interesting case the other day, it is the public affairs web site, and they got an e-maisayinge have redesigned as to really be more, just send people and so on and so forth so you open it up and here you have a nice big video screen in the middle, and in storage from the side and over here it says dod blogger and it is scntt facebook in youtube and, but thhs is not in the doc mill in.gov space, so i went fro ndu dad.edu space, the defense organization, went to click on the picturen the movie and i got this lull note that says this works best with flesh blair ten. download flesh blair ten, but this is up and says you are not authorized to download. so the point is just, we love the new web site.

yo going to do something that will affect departmentwide how about the what a month ahead of time and go to the approval of stoies from the different subnet and say we have decided that this is something important for the department toave. what he please enable your people to use our official web site, so hopefully some of that is going to come out of the debate. i don't want to minimize t really serious security problems. it is great tim to spend with some really serious talented people but with very different light views, and-- [laughter] the level of attention being paid to attacking social software sites is absolutely nontrivial. i heard something yesterday that says a tax on social software is up 90% in the past year alone so you can't ignore this but at the same time the rest of the world is using it. so we just cut ourlves off the anti-farc demonstration with the non-trivial national security

band what happening ga and the way twitter was used therwithin nontrivialational security fence so we have to find a way to engage. i'm glad that the secretary is tee'd up this debate. as you can imagine their passionate issues on both sides and i would hope that, by the 30th of ptember there will be a task to come out with a unified approach. [inaudible] >> because it is being recorded you need to use the mic. thank you. >> you have been in that job before. he them write the policy. what would you recommend that they be thinking about as they write this? >> as i said i think we are trying to get people to bd some of these into th is ok for use within protected enclaves and what the until committee has done with intellipia and some ofhese tools is a great model for what a lot of government can do i think what admiral ellen is talking about is establishing a

permanent prerence outside the firell to edy to understand what is going on and be prepared to respond to tt sce is a good way to do business. what i'm asking the securi services for is a recent assessment of the risks involved in dealing across the boundaries. are there any ways in wch you could, just for example some parts of dod allowed gma. some parts of it doan the mail that-- allowed jumale. some departments allow facebook, some do not in some cases you have organizations like public afirs you are required by their jobs to go and look it youtube they were prohibited from using youtube by the organization policies, so the first that wouldsk for is to get a reasons security assessment by professionals that that's the policymakers make decisions on the basis of informati rather than just it doesn't seem right to me,o i think those three things.

first of all you get an aggressive psence within protected enclaves, establish a presence outside and listened to a serious analysis of what the bonder condition would be is the way i perceive it. >> would you say the number one thing we need to keep in mind in the of 2.0? >> roof the question is what is the number-one thing leaders need toeep i mind igov 2.0 world? iould say they need to empower their orgizations to act responsibly in this space. the normal inclination of most of us who were arby on a certain age is going to be, this is either scary, it ia waste of time, it is something that kids do so there ford can't really be important but in point fact it is. think back, my of us came int our organizations, the telephone was a black in that sat on the desk for official use only and you had to walk dowl the hall to get to the taifa in ordero

make a call, and he could possibly help em to the internet or to any network. it is goin to be that way with social software. we just needo figure out how to get their responsively. >> i wondered if you could elaborate. u said some of the smallest companies are being the most innovative. i wondered if you could elaborate on that a little bit. which companies and what innovations? >> yes, so let me be genal enough specific, but just a few lucky people who work out at this mash-up and camp roberts in california, i looked at any of them with the exception of the google people the came from an organization that had more than 50 people in that and lots of them are leveraging, being social software. for example open street maps has

done a terrific maps of parts of the worl where there are no decent mevs but giving somebody a gps receiver and having them walk around t streets as i am coming around the corne of fifth and the bailout and turning right and thenhey generate a street map out of that, so it is the mix typically of the small fksn the backroom who are working on the idea and leveraging a whole batch of volers and a whole batch of folks interested in working in the space that is the a lot of creativity coming out of. so, that is the main point. i don't know, when i look it things like tim o'reilly's gude cam, the friends of all riley orice of something the other day called crisis camp which is looking at how you would put together tools for disaster relief. most of them were the smaller

companies to where they are playing in the space. i am actually not in any way maligning with the larger companies ar doing except that there is a lot of energy and useful stuff coming out of the small companies in my point was just we ought to encourage our people to get beyond the normal interlocutors to go to other people as well. [inaudible] there we are. you have a lot of folks coming together to share information and really innovative ways. one of the challenges they are facing now is athat point, right now there posting in both the old system and using intellipedia. at what point does the intel communities okay we are going to go one direction or the other or

do you ctinued using both systems at once? >> this is a little bit about the question of when you take the sales of the samship. the last u.s. navy steamships had sales inhe 1890's, and so i think the answer igoing to be when you feel comfortable enough for the new process and the cost of the old ones just get to be too expensive, so there's going to be a large amount of inertia to keep tse old systems running and left to their own devices they are gog tm go on a on and on and on so i would recommend a couple, so you don't have one datapoint, a couple of tests and say if we want to solvehi problem using the collaboratives software and we want to solve that problem using the additional ways of doing business and once you start getting, once you start getting consistent better result using t social

software, then ask yourself especially in the intel committee and i somehow exposing sources and methods it but put in the kaleb of space protected by these other means and the answer comesack a tossup, i would new-- move to the new space. rather than saying i think it is this way, try to do some tests and try to do some experiments. again, thank you all very much. i really appreciate the chance to talk to you. [applause] >> thank you. i hope someone tweets the comment about the sales of the steamships. i think that is a great quote and we have a small token of appreciation for you dr. wells. thank you for coming. take your time. we are going to sieve-- ship the hedule little bit. where did paul go? paul was here. can someoneet paul? it looks likwe are going to move paul long up to be in the next speaker of.

artis let too. okay, so i will let people shift some spaces here. i just need tourn on that projector, one second. let's secede.

see. is it here? okay. okay. i think we will just go aad with pl and ryan will be next. call is the grand sheik in the department homeland security, the federal emergency management agency's mitigation director and his role claborates closely with the mop costin regional offices, a mtiple of this step and contractors in closely with

local state and federal officials. he also clever is with local and state-- he also collaborates and coordinas data collection and risk communications insuring optimization of local a federal resources. so, if someone knows about management a collaboration i think it is paul, a that is why they invited him here today. paul. [applause] >> thanks. thanks ken and thanks for having me today. last night i was thinking about going over my presentation once, and not until 10:00 send the note that said c-span is going to be there so i thought, maybe i should practice. so my wife is sitting there and i go, the my the gillison? she is got your laptop on in she is on facebook. i did not confirm this but i

should have. she is probably writing, oh god, not again, i am the audience. then she goes oh no, he is obably telling bad jokes and you probably hear some of those but she was a terrific audienc inhe was using social media as she listened to me practice last night. so my name is paul wong. in wk the feral emergency management agency in the department of homeland security. admiral allen was a terrific help about five years ago now in hurricane katrina and his leadership surely was, should be commended so i was excited when i ard he was the keynote speaker. what i do with the mev branch even what we call the mitigation director our job iso help reduce losses of life androperty through mitigative actions, so that means stronger building codes of buyouts, building stronger's disaster, working with communities t make sure they ardoing the right thing so when a disaster does happen they are prepared and those risks are mitigate

one of those things also is it you didn't know, the micelles what insurance to transfer some of that risk to the federal government and that is one of e programs i work on. so a little bit of overkill on what i will cover today. i will talk about leadership and collaboration. the program we launched this year, the performance based measures is an example of a challenge collaboration that we allace. the old way of doing things and perhaps the new way in which we talk about technology and some risks and best practices that i will share with you through our experiences at fema. but before i do that, yesterday morning my friend and colleague, fred shorrock, and i think i have one or to represent this out in the audience of a no fred. he has worked inhe government for 35 years and he comes then and not some of doran says paul, at are you doing tomorrow? i have got this web.0 going on.

he does, what is web 2.0? not very technically sound he recently had is that expired and he said, and it wld not give him a new one because his backound check need is to b renewed. he has to go on line, of the luttig form to submit for his new batch and he said i think i'm going to retire because i don't think i can do that so that tells you a bit about this technical abilities. he is a terrific guy. he said tell the audience, and most ofou probably know, what is web 2.0? i said the sponsors are going to hate the fact that i said this but i said it is like a hallmarked holiday. it kind of made up the term. is like laracy to work day or happy wednesdayay. web 2.0 really is not something different. it is an evolution of the web so webb one point go and it was never called.0 before was the one way interaction so you went to "the washington post."com

which fred probably does every morning and you read the news. it is very one direction or you send e-mails and it is very directionally oriented. yours and the response back to me. it is very narrow in its scope. web 2.0 is the evolution where new tools are being introduced which allow for a much more dynamic and dgeway to collaborate in work with each other so things like wiki's then things like twitter and things like that where your audiences bigger. when you go to "the wasngton post."v you may contribute to the news article inot just read it. you may comment on it in bill lawn others comnts. those are the types of capabilities of web 2.0 zero. i said fred ultimately the technology is just new technology in something else as the last speakers said the technology will change but what it helps us do, helseth solved, and management problems, common problems we all face wn you

start in the govnment in 1974. the same issues, diffent ingalls but it different way to think about solving these prlems. that will be the theme for my prentation today, the same problems, how can we apply the technology to helping solve those? so, a little bit about leadership and collaboration since this is the leadership segment of the two days. i pulled some quotes to talk about leadership and as they speak about tse, i would encourage you to think about what some of the technologies you will hear about in the next two days and you already know about can do to address se of these issues and what it can't, because you can't, you can't fill the void of leadership throug technologies sometimes, so but some of these things can be solvable. they are important in terms of the topic i am speaking to, the

challenges in collaboration. e first thing you need is good teams, so th is an acronym i brought up. together everyone achieves more and i don't ow if you have seen this exercise. it is a great team building exercise. i think it i called the cascade survival game, so you go, oka here is a scenario and the scenario is that you are in the mountains in colorado and having a great time skiing that you get an alert that says that big snowstorm is coming and everybody needs to be evacuated so you pile into a hicopter in the helicopter crashes. the helicopter crashes and the pilot dies b you are all alike and there's a listed ten items to find in the helopter anywhere from snowshoes and skis to flares and flashlights and you are supposed to list in rank order these ten are 15 items in the order of importance to you survival. so, everybody does this individually and scores 1210 the importance o these items to

survival and then you say to this as a team coming to this collaboratively, and then they work together and go okay, w is said rank der look le? at the end park rangers or professionals of some sort provide you the real answers and you compa your individual scores against the real answers and bompare the teams' scores against the real answers in terms of water these items in this helicopter you crash and are key to your survival? over 75% of the time the team score beats the individual score. collaboration is really important and teamwork is important. maybe this technology creates opportunities to expand the way we do collaboration. since it is fooall season i just threw a quoting here about leadership and i just really did throw in because it is fall and i was watching some football, but people who work together will win whether it is a complex football defense like e baltimore ravens or problems in

modern society, and we face these all the time in the federalpace in the private sector. there are complex proems. i.t. collaboration is the way to find better answers to solving those problems for the one of my favorite books is by patrick, i am going to boucher his last name-- and i pass this book out to all of my staff and they have all read it and i shared it wit the staff because i think when you think about the challenges of collaboration n.t. market is a really good book. it is almost t hierarchy in the needs at the bottom is absence a trust. this is a very negative spun books so i will spin it a positive way which is you need to have trust and a team collaborate well. what does that mean? you need to b honest. you have to be unafraid to share ideas and thoughts. you have to trust your peers so

that a comme is not seen as insulting but rather a constructive comment. you can't-- why have collaboration hovel if everybody agrees s flake, if done correctly and you are not afraid of it will genera typically better answers. commitment, you have got to be there. ether it is on line or on the team or a group setting, there has to be commitment that we are here to solve the same problems to work together. accountabity, u leave that collaborative session, you leave that web site and yo go, okay i said i would do this. you have to keep each other accountable to what you assign them to do. then the rests, this one is a hard-won. i am sorry. think i missed one. the last one of shared goals. this is always the challenge in collaboration whether you are usingechnology to e the problem or doing this in person and that is you have to throw

away the ego. whatever you collaborate on and agreed to your ias on always going to make it to the final answer. there might be disagreement but at the end you have to leave that collaborative session and say hey i buy in and i'm going to suprt the result. sessom thoughts on ldership. i will close in terms of leadership fees of this before really talk about sourcing in some of the technologies we have used. wi the quote from the leader in my family, and it think it is good buys when you think about the challengeto collaboration. and that is no question is a bad one, listen and the yelling and that is from my 3-year-old hill always gives mgood advice. so let me tell you a little bit about our program. we recently launched what we call in fema the res program, mapping assessment and planning with a terrific vision. the word collaboration is in the vision statement. through collaboration misdate local and tribal entities it

will deliveruality daa tha increases public awareness and leads to action the reduces risk and loss of life and property. so, risk matheson exciting time. were coming off the previous five-year billion dollar program of all talkbout in a minute called map modernization. one of the mud's missions and one of the things we work on and i work on isdentify with flood hazarded our nation. flood is the nber one cost of the nation in terms of natural disasters and i d't know if you know that. flood sap and everywhere all the time. and by identifying that hazard fema can do a couple of things. they can rate insurance and sell insurance prorly and mitigate against the flood b affecting local ordinances and building codes to say you have to build this high this low or in this area or not in this area. where weebuild, where we provide federal funding for structures a such, so flood hazard identification orapping of this flood hazard is a very

important thing. but can't just identify the hazard. we have to cmunicate that zard to folks of they can take action and that is a very exciting thing about our program. it is taking not just the quality data, hazded minification but we are goin to make a big push in terms of public awareness and you will see national bank teens to raise the nation's flood hazard awareness that hopefully will result in local elections so they go, okathis is serious. we have natural hazards here that we have to mitigate against. sohat is the goal of sk math. this year we got 220 million in 2009, $2million for appropriations from congress as the traition. we also got on top of that 80 to $90 million worth of federal insurance fees to help support the program so we are talking about a 300 million-dollar program. in the present budget for fy10 we have put in for two and 20 million so the funding level will likely be the same.

we are hoppings it by your programs that we are looking at the over a blion dollar program again so when you have a billion dollar program, people say what are you going to deliver and that is the key driver to everything we do and we report comes to performce based measures have reallbeen embraced by dhs and fema. daren mperfore plans, they are in my bosses rformance plans, they are in the contracts we issue. they drive the stuff and it is a classic challenge back to common problems that we have all fates from fred's generation to mine. we have something to deliver. the key to that is how you get to by? how do you divers something smart this deliverable, that is a stretch. spific measurable results driven measures of the you can drive the program. so, i'm going to use this

example for the last couple minutes of my presentation to talk about how we did it the old y and how technology with web 2.0 has affected it in a new way. so come back to five years ago. the map modernization program i funded at $1 blion in 2003 by congress. we just finished that program this past fiscal year and it has been a very successful one. dhs and that rented as one of the top threevel 1, level 1 being anything over $100 billion annually, programs run in all the departments so we are really proud of this. i am very proud of this and the goal is to take these old paper based mats as you see in the presentation here d move them into a g.i.'s world. it is a lot mor powerful when you are lookng at this to dimensional flat map that shows what hazards. compared to that, some think you

can put in and zoom in onnd really see that hazard, so it has got a lot of feudalization, said the billion dollars was to move from there, to the paper to the digital. the nice thing about the digital is it as a lot easier to update in flood hazards change all the times of keeping this up-to-date was crucial. from paper to digita and the key measure back to performance measures, the key measure was that 92% of the nation's population would be covered by the digital gsia flood data so by doing that hugo okay, we came up with the measure, 92% the population and ifact we are going to deliver on that and that has been a success for the program. how to begin to that measure? five years ago there were a couple of ways to do that before web 2.0 to cold and lots of lots of meetings. weech workewith ten regional offices. my job is to coordinate with many of these.

in fact i'veeen doing to our calls with most ofhese over the last two weeks and they are the ones that are on the ground deliveri their program so adquarters we develop standards for these measures. we ph out theseuys to deliver the program. they hav constituents in stakeholders with a baby association groups that are big into this stuff for local officials or cipizens on a day--day basis so when we come up with a measure like this at drives the billion dollar program, to get it right we had to do lots and lots of meengs which means flying these guys then, flying stakeholder zen, having lots of costs associated to that and it is inefficient. you are always telling a story, saying we are we are in this collaborive group. someone elseas not in the meeting so you ought to retell the story and the reason we ce up with that was because this person said that and these decisions were made and what do uhink? it ithis endless loop, a lot

of effort. there's no transparencies though at the end of the day they go, how did you come up with that measure? who madehat decision? what resulted out of that collaborative session? there's something called leadership pius, werey boss would come in and say i liked this idea. through no fuld visohn he disputes the discussion. in a collaborative envonments by his title, perhaps he's do that decision. it sounds le theig boss likes that idea so let's go with that. the collaboration dies at that point. at the same time he is conscious of that so he is hesitant to share ideas so there's leadership bias in t old way of doing things. or, they go with all those risks it is easier to decide on our own, make it very inclusive, develop a preference measure that has not been collaborated on a lot and go down that pa, which is what-- i was not that fema five years ago but as my

boss tells of seven people got in a permit geopge jenin said we will map the measure, 100% of adnation with a digital map. notice that says 92% of the pulation. it sounded good, it sounded great, seven peoe, we did not have the costs, we did not have the koza secede witling does the plan. just had a couple of people on the set for a bilon dollars congress will give you 100% of the nation wh this new great product. what hapned? the stakeholder sieve not like it. they said, why 100%? white star-- chores the quality on the product? why are you investing inhe quality versus quantity. the regions to help this deliver this, thesaid we are delivering this. why did we me this decision? there wasn't that inclusion, there was not that buy and, so to years into the program, we have a midcourse adjustment. congress said we don't think we

should do 100%. we think you should focus on qualy over quantity. population was a 92% of the area. not allow the population t doing a map for that landaria still cost the same as a dense area, so by reducing our goals to 92%, we could afford our quality. that is what happened. the program has been very successful. the mitt course adjustment has been successful but a billion dollar program turning it around after two years of launching it was not an easy task. d, mayba collaboration could have bee a little bit different when we developed the nature. passrt two risk map which i spoke about recentl we took lessons learned and said let's not do this. if we are going to get by and lots is no program and it is going to be looking like billimn dollar program what can we do different,o we looked at technologand web 2.0

technologies. we brought in a group. we did lose the human interaction. we brought in a group of leadership and we talked about ideas come and be treated some potential measures for our new program. but then we use something calle grapevine which was a crowd source tool. our contractor provided this tool and let me tell you a little bit about it to essentially these ideas, you genete seeds of ideas and then you can vote on these ideas. i like this one, i don't like this one and then you can addn build on those ideas and rank ur idea, so to the 100% nation covered by a digital map. say that was a seed initially coming out of this gro from georgetown. someone might come in and say i don't likehat idea. than the author is repealed so you chelsea the publisher of that idea until the author come until you vote on it. that gets rid of the leadership pius.

it was nice voting on things and saying i d't like that only to find out my boss reaudit, so reve some of the learship bias. someone might put in an idea that sais t and bsin of the nation, what about quality? what we do less of this forest land area and the best setti quality? great come i le that idea and then someone on top of that may say the way to track that is to use census data, census from 2000, the nuisances coming have into years. pretend we are five years back. so what happens is this bridge dialogue starts generating and through this tool you can start bubbling uphe best ideas, what is good, what is bad and it is coaborative. you can open it very widely, so a cole of things. create a transparey. weisel vista omb instead here are the measures and if they

ever say why, here is tool. let's read to the comments. so it is aays documented. there was buy in, why did we make this decision? is not time gone. some of my best ideas ce when i am taking a shower or taking the kids for a walk. and i say i'm not in a collaboratives session. you go home a get on line a you throw an id on grapevine, so it allows that flexibility. we talked about the leadehip pius, by not voting in not revealing the author so what results of cleo five key measures, the lockdown, we have a great buy in from our stakeholders, and we can explain why. so the last thing i wil talk about is what are some of the allenges? i think you heard this through the previous two speakers but the first one, if you are in this room probably know or have the huge interest in web 2.0 in

social media so you might know wh a tweeter is indeed my know what a blog is but a lot of folks don't. it is back to fred when he walked into my office and said what is live 2.0 the change iifficult. gettinfolkto break old meetings or exclusive colorative group that makes all the decisions, that is a difficult thing. change generally, whether it's a generational and n, whether it is bred or someone just, change is difficult, so what is mitigation strategy? i think you have to have a balance. you haveo use web 2.0 technologies and social media. they are a terrific way to solve common proems in a new way so i think that is something to think about but he can't lose some of the old stuff, so you need meetings. you lose the one on one touch, walking the halls. the basof that is just. the only way you can have trust,

that is hard to build on lines of building, joaquin brandon talking in the halls. the last thing is some of the seeds that i showed in the measures, someone might put in! does that mean they are have become angry, upset. thereeeds to be a way to mitigate against that. "the wall street journal" said you can't read a yon on line so if someone is bored with what you are wpitingan't read that online. the way to mitige that i to put a standard protocol against it. these are great ways to solve mmon problems and a great y to think about how to apply these tools, but we are constrained in the file space, cybersecurity and laws are there for reasons of you have to work around them or you have to be flexible andespect those rules but try to make progress. and i think that is it for me. i hope i didn't go over on time. >> did we have any questns for

paul? thank you paul. [applause] any questions? i think the reason i invited paul here is because he has thought a lot about managing and collaborative environment and i think that is a dialogue which might be usefuto get started so i hope we can in the future have more talks about how leadership in management change in a more collaborative world. yes. [inaudible] >> marie is bringing it to you. >> my name is robin fargo i'm a contractor for the government and i was wondering, i was fascinated by what you are presenting and rlly encouraged by the way that you are descring a collaborative dierence in the web 2.0 org of 2.0 world. are there any quick examples he could give us not cered in

your presentatn and uerstand canete the change the need to protect thennocent but some examples of the way that you have solve problems that he couldn't have sold before that you have achieved something that you really think might not have been achievable before? thanks. >>eah. off the top of my head i would say i can think of a goo example but i ca tell you how it got more efficient. less to one of my staff members said we publish lot of standard so of these maps the required standards that i'm not aware of inspects. th said hey, we always do this kind of in house and then we put out to the public. you have to publish it to some stakeholders to say here the new stdard he said what we used a wiki, so put out the best thinking we ha and then open it up to get more by and, so we did that. we actually used dhs interactive tool and then we got, i think two or 300 comments, and input

into that standards developnt, and then it was easy to sell, s in the past we developedhe standards and then he would fight them all the time. some would say i don't like the standard you are changing the way my ntract is woing and those pes of things but we did not have that problem. we are in the processf finalizing standards and i think it is done in record time so i think you can do those things to make it more efficient or to tackle the problems dferently. at i mcquiston hog. i am wondering if you can talk, you gave one example. i am wondering if ese collaboration tools are standard practice now in fema and i am wondering if you would abdicate or describe specific technologies that you recommend or like? >> sure. thmud is really starting to take hold of this and i know in the ternal affairs office they have a web 2.0 leed and fema as gone out to facebook in the

think mitigation has a myspace account and i think we are starting to move in that direction. peonally my brand, the things i use, i like blogs for information distion. wetarted that a yr ago too. staff complaints to me work, we never get the thing all it is is operational stuff. it is the same old, same old. we went wh the gooe model and said that the time-aside some time every week. it cane work-related, something you rd, something interestg ithat is really taken off as a way for folks to focus and generate ideas so i really like that. the wiki's, for standards development. i think we are going to continue doing that type of thing and as we look to risk map and including risk awareness, the only way we can afford it, because it thinkers stakeholders want our invtments to beat in the quality of those hazard maps, and they want to see a lot

of risk awareness but not for a lot ofoney. the only way we are going to penetrate that i think is true social media so i think that is something our new contractor is pushing in terms of risj communications. i look forward to seeg ho successful o not that is, but i think what you defitely get is more bang for your bk. >> my name is tammy, and before i moved up here was actually with a little rock district army corps of enginrs, and last year, 2008, 2007, we we basically all under water, and i wa wonderingf you had used that kind ofollaborative meth did with the corps of engineers and back-and-forth because unfortunately wetted theoment theorps of engineers at wees little rock was a little bit, they won't even dipped their toe into tweeter or anying like th. they are deathly afraid oit and maybe getting more ahead of

the imes now. >> i think it goes back to come we have a great relationship withhe u.s. corps of enginrs and maybe that wasn't the case a couple of years ago. i think that this happened. i think we created the foundation which is we still have a lot of meetings with them. we intact with them regularly. we sit down and have meetings hn strategy sessions with the cor as partners. i think the evolution of that i now that we have the trust expand the technology d make it more efficient so we a not there with theps right now. we do a lot of e-mails and we do lot of meetings but i think we can change that. >>hank you paul and i will have to cutp the questions there. it sounds like your foundation-- the foundation for clap version needs to be developed along with taing new grade tools. ani ju wanted to give you a small token of appreciation for coming to speak in taking your time. ank you very much.
