hi guys it's time for tonight's tools on a war and today goes the most popular social media site in the world chances are that you're amongst the five hundred to seven hundred million users log on to facebook daily using the web site to share personal details pictures of yourself and using the opportunity to connect to others or facebook doesn't just serve its users it also serves as law enforcement agencies like the f.b.i. ice and the da police can create fake profiles to spy on a suspicious person using facebook information and communications and in fact this tool is so popular amongst police of the social network it's created a set of guidelines for cops to follow if they want to collect that information on facebook users or those guidelines become more and more lenient over the years and we only know this because hackers tied to anonymous is anti sec movement gained access to two versions of those law enforcement guidelines one from two thousand and six and the other from two thousand and ten let's just say that a lot has changed over the course of four years back in zero six facebook required a warrant or valid subpoena from cops and for that release any sort of user data to

authorities just four years later the requirements are a warrant subpoena or legal document with the equivalent already issued through a local court system and what about deleted data in the two thousand and six guidelines facebook said that it couldn't provide any data that's been deleted before request was made by police in the two thousand and ten guidelines there's a notice that says the site will immediately disable all user accounts accused of illegal activity but law enforcement can stop that process by temporarily requesting that the info not be disabled until a specific date otherwise the guidelines don't state any information regarding deleted data so ultimately the police have the last say as long as they get their requests to the company in time when it comes to retaining information facebook has also become a lot more generous to the police in two thousand and six documents simply stated that the site generally retains logs for up to thirty days but now is. talking points memo points out they can give cops a user's ip logs their ip address facebook username and even how often that user has logged on to the site and they no longer offer

a deadline for when that information is available so there definitely been some changes to the social networks guidelines all of which are conveniently kept from the users that is unless you go searching through facebook's help center and this is scary because a lot of force ms come to rely on information the public has shares on social media sites and facebook is one of the easiest ways for them to get that and reuters report that since two thousand and eight at least twenty four warrants we know of have been obtained by the feds specifically to search your facebook profile using a neo print or photo print with details like wild posts links to videos or pics and even decline friend requests so it's right the police along it all and now the pace because a lot of quietly modify their guidelines cops to have all the information that you've offered up through your own profile and frankly the social network should have its focus on its users best interest and protect their privacy not just play psychics and lazy law enforcement come to rely on social media rather than do their own investigating so facebook who are essentially selling out quietly agreeing to

work with the cops here tonight still time where. the sky and. the light will come down. some last few choirs will be singing. well tonight we have a true glimmer of hope coming out of oregon earlier this week governor john kitzhaber announced that he would impose a moratorium on all executions in the state for the remainder of his term is time for just a. circular approach. i refuse to be part of the moisture whole system or no love for you to see what is going good. now most immediately he granted a temporary reprieve to gary hagan who is said to be executed in oregon by lethal injection on december sixth the move comes as a surprise to a lot of anti death penalty advocates because his father has personally against the use of the death penalty had previously allowed two executions to go forward in his

first term as governor respecting the wishes of the voters of oregon who reinstated the death penalty in one thousand nine hundred four but during a statement explaining that decision he said that allowing those two executions to move forward are decisions that he's regretted ever since he also made clear that his decision was not about compassion or sympathy for those on death row but rather because of the failures of the oregonian justice system to carry out the death penalty fairly. forty seven years ago if you told me that you knew that this is going. to those who will say it like to see a lawyer you'll vote. simply because you know this practice is resistant so. now oregon is just the most recent state in a growing list which includes new mexico new jersey and illinois to abolish the death penalty since two thousand and seven before that not one state had overturned the death penalty since the one nine hundred sixty s.

but times they are changing because an october gallup found approval for the death penalty nationally had reached a thirty nine year low in the wake of the execution of troy davis with sixty one percent of americans supporting it so this is important of a time as any to take heart to governor kitzhaber his parting words cruz all says he will go all over the world. and i think the people of america need to do the same so if the governor of oregon putting a moratorium on the death penalty for the remainder of his term we declare that the truth and more of hope. i spake speaks everywhere are getting a really excited about tomorrow's launch of the new mars rover it took eight years of planning and despite six hundred million in cost overruns and a two year delay nasa is mars science laboratory also known as curiosity will be taking off tomorrow from cape canaveral florida are calling it the most ambitious mission yet to the red planet with the goal of assessing whether mars has or ever had or still has environmental conditions favorable to microbial life would be the

fourth rover in fifteen years to set its wheels down on the planet but only after an eight and a half month journey so it's expected to touch down in august of two thousand and twelve now unlike other rovers which use solar power to run curiosity will be carrying a generator powered by a nuclear battery made of plutonium two thirty eight with a lifespan of fourteen years and also has a much improved set of instruments including a drill that can pick up rock samples of brush to remove dust from rocks or equipment and spectrometer observations for a high definition camera and a laser capable of vaporizing rocks from up to seven meters away all of which to study the planet's surface and environment and also be much larger hence the new landing plane plan using a sky crane system so just tell special is this trip might be one of the last as plutonium two thirty eight become scarce joining me to discuss it is andrew chaikin science journalist and space historian anderson i said oh he's also seizing the author of a man on the moon and a passion for mars almost left your books out there is our andrew thanks for coming

back on the show tonight you know some people are saying that this is the most ambitious rover ambitious mission to mars yet what do you say about it yes i mean it pretty much sums it up i mean the previous two rovers that were spectacular in their own right we're about the size of a golf cart and this one is about as big as an s.u.v. and it's just as you as your graphic showed it's full of an mazing instruments in fact he has so many instruments that it's carrying two. ours are things that when i was a geology student at grand university you had to go into a special laboratory to use for example the ability to fire a very concentrated beam of x. rays and a sample of rock powder and from the energy given off you can actually tell what minerals are in that rock curiosity actually has one of those rigs on board

it's also got a laser. they can fire at a rock that is some distance away and by monitoring the vapor that's given off from that laser flash tell what it's made out so it is going to be incredibly sophisticated and in many ways this is something we should have done many many years ago before we even tried to search for life on mars with the viking landers that i was it actually an undergraduate in turn on that mission and the results of that search were very imperious and now all these years years later we're finally getting back to mars with the instruments that we need to tell us for example are there carbon bearing molecules what scientists call organics on mars and many many other questions that we need to know in order to know whether it's worth even trying to find life on mars so you think about other ever thought of and sent out

there that would really give us any of those answers and one of them called opportunity that one is still thriving on it's been there for eight years yeah no this isn't about this isn't that bad either or this is a process of building on capabilities what those previous rovers spirit and opportunity did was they showed us that portions of mars had once been very hospitable to life that's about the environment of mars in past times with those rovers we were able to confirm that there's theories of mars were once covered by. salty sea and that's a super place to go back and look for evidence of past life and maybe even present day life but we can't take those results alone and know whether life is likely to be there we only know that the conditions were right now we have to go back and start really answering detailed questions at the chemical makeup of the

surface and whether there are signatures consistent with biology so that we can then take the ultimate step of actually going to mars and looking for a life and i want to get into something that you know is causing a lot of trouble for a lot of scientists and for nasa here which is the fact that as i mentioned the other rovers were solar powered this one has this nuclear powered battery and this plutonium to thirty eight reports and out saying is becoming very rare there is a massive shortage of it the obama administration approved more development but that has so far gotten stuck in congress and so i'm just curious why why couldn't they send this rover as solar powered like the others. well the big thing that having a nuclear power source does for you is it frees you up from having to wait for the sun to rise before you can have electrical power but the other thing about solar panels is that if they become covered with dust and we know there's a lot of dust floating around in the martian atmosphere all the time you know those

solar panels lose their output they lose their efficiency and a nuclear power plant on curiosity will make it much more productive which is a good thing considering how much it cost and how much we hope it'll accomplish but i think once that mission is through you know in the future they'll be able to accomplish follow on missions probably with solar power it's not that you can't use solar power it's just think you're limited compared to what you can do with a nuclear power plant but see i don't think that future missions are necessarily. threatened at the moment because to thank you thirty eight has a lot of people are saying and this is now threatening us space dominance we are you don't have a shuttle program for now we only have the ones that are sending rovers to mars and what happens next no i you know that's a long conversation about spacetime and it's got to do with a lot of other things besides the availability of key ternium it's got to do with

whether or not we can create a space program that is sustainable in this economy we've got to start doing things smarter and one of the unfortunate negative impacts of curiosity's development has been that it was so much more expensive then nasa predicted and you know these are wonderful missions but we've got to get real about what we can afford to do in these times so my hope is that when we go back to mars after curiosity we do it in a way that is very smart and sustainable. so that we can continue to get the most science possible out of a very limited by. compared to what we've had in the past now would you call this sell the american mission or would you say that it's international time i know that russia spain canada also have scientists to help contribute. right so that makes it in international mission i mean all of these missions bring in investigators from

all over the world and you know nasa does share the data and as a say is bringing in you know investigators from other countries to help you know solve the riddles that mars presents to us through this incredible what we hope will be an incredible wave of data beginning next summer when curiosity actually gets to mars now i must say that for me the most nerve wracking time is going to be the landing because that will be just a very short window of time in which curiosity has to get down to the surface of mars with a brand new landing system called the sky crane and i know the guys that are developing that landing system and they are confident about it but i also know that there are a lot of people that are going to be sitting there with very clenched fists and crossed fingers until the curiosity is safely on the surface yeah i can imagine and that's already after the eight months of waiting for it to even get there andrew thanks so much for joining us tonight and hopefully this will bring us

a lot of new information about mars and its surface and maybe only one sense of thinkers of that that laser at work that's a favorite here at the office thanks so much you bet. i still have my fireside friday and happy hour don't film industry cashes in on the occupy movement and your far phone tracking your every move after thought all explain that. thank. you to the police repine. thanks. but what a protest nobody seems to know. that never pepper sprayed the face but already argument that they're being overly dramatic.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so poorly you think you understand it and then something else and here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you don't know i'm sorry there was a big issue. because

i'm learning mr. to tonight's fireside fridays but your host jimmy comes. as we round out this thanksgiving i have a lot to be thankful for the great crew that i work with every day and you the viewers and the fans that we do all this for us was also important in times like these and for member those that are less fortunate to realize how many people out there are struggling and need our help not to mention needing the government to stop ignoring their plight says you wonder why people are protesting off applying

all across. country why disapproval for washington and congress are all time highs let me just throw a few statistics or way to put it on the perspective to remind you that we're all in this together which is why the ninety nine percent need to unite to help this country more fair and just society and to remind you that people out there are really truly struggling and not because of laziness is the right we need to have personalities and politicians like to argue i also like to think progress for compiling some of these staggering statistics that show how deep anger runs in america last year seventeen point two million households in the united states are food insecure that is the highest level on record and it's a thirty percent rise just during this great recession and also makes up fourteen point five percent of all households which equals about one in seven of those seventeen point two million households three point nine million included children only fifty five percent of those households were able to participate in one or more

of the three largest federal food nutrition assistance programs and nearly half of those who did seek out emergency food assistance or their report of having to choose between paying for utilities or heating fuel and food nearly forty percent i didn't choose between paying rent or a mortgage and that's a sad state of affairs and it's not something that we should wish on anyone least of all children that are growing up not knowing what it's like to feel secure that every night welcome home and have a dinner eat every morning before they go to school they'll get breakfast to help them start their day and for good food prices increased by three point six percent last year alone meanwhile measured by the use six about sixteen percent of americans are unemployed millions more can't pay for their homes and forty nine million according to the latest of his six released by the census bureau are living in poverty so for those that want to claim that the recession is over and the economy is recovering well don't forget that might apply to those at the top to corporations to banks that are raking in record profits but not to millions more

don't forget as you watch the news today and the mainstream media goes wild over. black friday crowds and sales of those are luxuries the millions can afford to guess today while so many are lining up to get a good deal on a flat screen t.v. others are lining up to get a hot meal thanks to the generosity of those who donate and volunteer and these are tough times and we have to treat them as such congress needs to treat them as such rather they continue to work for lobbyists and corporate bosses to fund their campaigns instead of the constituents there's supposed to be representing the media to report on the realities of daily life daily life for millions of americans instead of focusing on celebrity gossip and all the partisan tit for tat and the ninety nine percent remember that things can change that will take hard work despite the mockery the ridicule by those who don't want them to succeed those that thrive off of the status quo despite the oppressive and violent actions of law enforcement they shouldn't be deterred you have to keep at it and i'm thankful that people in cities across the country are doing just that.

i'm time for happy hour and joining me this evening is lauren with her host of capital account here on our key and your life involved deputy editor of business insider thanks for joining you guys thank you are having it so it's black friday you and i have already spoken about the psycho lengths that people will go through to get bad feel like pepper spraying people in the face but you might also be getting tracked only at this one wall in short pump town center in richmond virginia take a look attention shoppers we now know where you're going in short pump town center in fact will be tracking your movement from store to store through your cell phone . so it was kind of creepy they're going to track. your phone while you're in the mall every store that you go to so they can you know obviously pick up on whatever trends are it is creepy but i have

a feeling sherpa counselor is not going to get that much traffic that representative or how that many people targeted by these big brother tactics although i don't know the more reason to stay home from one of only two shopping centers in the entire country using this technology for now it is pretty remarkable of what they do to try and get retail sales like satellite pictures parking lots black friday and then they compare them to the year before so this sounds great just another way to put the pieces together and figure out exactly the story that you want to be tracked least that you would be a very is to admit to people that you were in. good question right. yeah right. so right. so obviously the n.b.a. lockout is still going on i'm really depressed about it i talk about it but businesses are also heard. it's time for you to come back to stop squabbling over the millions of dollars that you squabbling about and think about the every

business person is not only in the city but of course this country. and think about the fans makers but apparently one of the businesses you may not have expected to be hurting right now is escort business is a guy in new york residence court business says that his business is down about thirty percent right now because he hires them they hire somebody to sit courtside and. why would people be surprised this business is hurting i would think it will be probably the least surprised that this business is hurting i'm just a private attorney and now he came out and talked about it because we tried to ask for stories before it's hard to get them to car but do you assume that if you're a professional athlete you don't necessarily need to pay for an escort they are maybe i'm probably not here i sue many instances just because your part of how i was. doesn't seem to be raised i do not preclude you looking to the services of escort ok it's also just pretty remarkable like hearing about all the financial struggles that the athletes are going and god sees them i mean it's like no savings

whatsoever of the number who are going to grow if they're awful is really horrible happens about. you know what like thirty percent of them are bankrupt within three years after retirement it's not what everyone thinks because you just know of a couple of big sports stars that are making these massive contracts but it's not like that for all of them i think we're going to ask for thank you for the players sorry guys i just i'm not convinced if they're broke if. i feel worse for the bar owners the bar owners yeah right i don't know i have to pick on you know if we do things like write a story so you know you have to listen to this story this hour pinned in a prairie village candice and basically it makes the governor of kansas look like a total tool that. just made me promise to. console him he said in person and keep close a lot she says that tweet landed the principal's office. so this girl was out of

that then she tweeted that and then the governor's people reported it to her school and so then she had to go to the school the principal's office and she had to like right now apology letter do all this other stuff that is ridiculous really you know if you're governor you don't have anything better to worry about than like some high school student in tweeted something about uses you suck and you care that he's worried about i can't believe they're actually using these totalitarian tactics and the principal is actually rather high end user that's going to take their lives i have a clue i just it is bizarre that you would want to draw attention to it i mean people it's people all the time on twitter i get errors as you sometimes see as you earlier you know how to navigate these twitter worth area right and he was violating the rule when you get into a twitter fight don't fight with the people below you he's punching down. the violation of free speech like it is a violation of the sheets i could get whatever was say whatever she wants a chance to go to the principal because of something she said about the governor and apologizes and have to do it as a policy letter come on i would not write that letter if i were her this is absurd

and she's eighteen she's not even under age i mean i would exercise my adult you know right to tell their friends what is really what are you know even if she was just me and i think about it they are here because obviously he really does suck if you report. ok so this is something interesting about occupy wall street you've seen a lot of people who are trying to co-opt the movement people are trying to say occupy t. shirts yada yada now looks like the adult entertainment industry might be trying to capitalize on it as well in the middle of occupy oakland bay basically that's the scene for a new gay porn movie and it's called occupy my. tagline the tagline is police can ban the erection of tents that occupy wall street but they can't keep us from pitching a tent and are paying. a lot whereas the. video clip i thought we were always have video clips well apparently you have pretty nice. two x.

rated for television i love the look of subtlety there they just went all the way you know not even really a pawn or anything like that just like yeah well i'm pretty straightforward i think this is the most creative occupy. whatever you have added to it that we've seen yet so do you want to see more occupy porn so you're saying no i think this is i think a kind of just i don't know i don't i don't like this of occupy movement if you many people opportunities to say that it was good old thing really is let's get a dog a dog ours that someone's base make a gun out of it totally agree but i'll keep my money. interesting our guys want to wrap it up thanks so much for joining me tonight it's as if the nights out thanks for tuning in make sure they come back on monday it's the anniversary of wiki leaks dumping the state department cables going to take a look back at what we've learned and what has and hasn't changed since then and i mean time to give people a fan of the launch on facebook and follow us on twitter as any of tonight's or any other nice guys passionately you tube dot com slash the order show you'll find interviews as well as the show in its entirety and coming up next as.
