i met troy davis' sister, martina kraya, and i spoke on a panel with her about wars at broad and warsst spending an hour with her and her breaking down the case about her brother, i as a journalist, but also as an american, couldn't believe what i was hearing, and started looking at it myself, and i've come to the conclusion that troy davis is guilty of no crime and he was innocent of the charges against him. that he did not kill officer macphail. >> what brought you to that conclusion? jeremy, what -- >> yes. well, when you have -- >> what brought you to that conclusion, i need to know that. >> when you have the fact that there is a viable suspect, sylvester red coles, who said he is the man who shot officer macphail that night. when you have the fact that troy davis was treated in a different way when the eyewitnesss were being presented with photographs of the suspects. when you look at the vast majority of the evidence against troy davis, and you realize that there was no physical evidence presented against him, and that seven of the nine nonpolice eyewitnesss recant their testimo

different people working on the whole range of issues, and i guess refer to special agent --tina's -- martina's martinez. >> a lot of these types of attacks have been reported in the media, and a lot that have not, so i do not think anyone is immune to this type of cyber attack. >> thank you very much. >> senator friggin -- franken. >> thank you. in recent cases, it is argued that the violation of a website term of service or the employer computer use policy can constitute a federal crime under the computer fraud and abuse act. in other words, under this interpretation of the statute, people could conceivably be guilty for a federal crime for checking their gmail if their employer's computer policy prevents them from using that. people do not read those policies, and as you know, they can be long and perplexing and full of fine print. do you not think it would be good to address this in updating the statute? >> as i said earlier, senator -- thank you for the question. we are happy to work with people to address these kinds of concerns. i'd think the challenge is to address these kinds of concer

martina navratilova was considered a hulk.men's game now. serena who is 5'10" and sharpova is 62. if she wears heels, sharpova looks like she is in the nba. >> they play a more finesse game? >> i don't think that is necessarily the case. one the things we are trying to do in our country is get them at a younger age to play more on clay courts. when you talk about the finesse game and a little bit more strategy, clay is a real great tutor for a younger player and something we haven't probably done enough of and i grew up on clay. i'm from florida originally and we have a lot of clay courts down there. if you grew up in california like a pete sampras, you never saw a clay court. look around the business world. it's competitive out there. the world is a tough place and tennis is a great living. it's a bigger sport internationally than it is in the u.s. so a lot of the better athletes overseas gravitate to it. we divide ours up amongst the other sports that are popular here in the states. >> thank you for coming in. we appreciate
