out a number of very important steps, vug a framework for the private sector that's been formed by nist right now. we need to go beyond the e.o. regarding liability and what are the prohibitions that keep the private sector from being involved. you have the fisma revision. you got the e.o. on cyber, which is going to take legislation to completely solve that. i think both other panelists have said that. finally, what are the authorities and the jurisdictions that d.h.s. would need to do? if you put all three of those together i think you have the complete package and i think legislation is needed but it should not be separate from legislation that addresses the issues with the private sector as well. >> thank you for those comments. lastly, mr. baker, better define statutory mission of the current cyberactivities that d.h.s. helped strengthen that department's cybercapabilities? >> yes, i think in a couple of ways. first, the technology is always evolving and yet the law that we're operating under is 10 years old, at least, in many cases. authority was simply transferred. and fisma is a

it's less clear that the writers have an antic nist or part of the cultured war.t is obvious that neuro scientists are trying to explain phenomena until a few decades ago thought to be in the domain of philosophy, the art, and humanitarians. the surprising thing is how much interest and enthusiasm neuroscientists and thed advocates center generated in the media and among readers. until his fall they imagined how creativity works was the best seller. and the lecture on the connect tone had over a half million views. there have been a few critique from the work from thomas and alfred. but there has been nothing remotely like payson -- popular response to neuroscience encroachment on the humanitarian. shouldn't there be voices as prominent asking different questions? are we really just -- as policy for of science believes? are we matter obeying laws that in our emotional lives have we been for all the time nothing better than the humiliated of the sandman? who falls in love. a seductive piece of clock work? for the centuries have our soul mates as notre dame called e

. >> lacy, in the novel, the pro tag nist is a woman named ann, these were ann's clients, the parents flay with a deck that wasn't stacked. did you have any sort -- most of the kids that you worked with were the sort of super privileged and elite. did you have any ethical or moral dilemmas about stacking the deck for kids had the decks stacked in their favor. >> absolutely, almost constantly. throughout the book it is expressed. it is one of the reasons i no longer do this work although i think there's a place for it. i never wanted to hold a young person's privilege against her. by and large the students i worked for were wonderful. they were wonderful kids. i wanted them to ends up in great colleges and have great lives. what was challenging was thinking why are they so passive. why are they waiting for me to do this for them? why don't they go out and grab this opportunity they've been given? the reason so often was because they were tutored since they were 4 and taught to sit back and take direction because what they had to offer wasn't good enough. what i tried to do was shake th

and from nist, and he said, every now and then shows this great wisdom, and his testimony before us, i'll paraphrase, he said, we will know we are on the right track when good cybersecurity policy and good business policy are one. that's what he said. that's pretty good, pretty good advice. we've gotten a lot of pretty good advice here today as well. we also -- let me preface my next statement by saying, here we are at the anniversary of 9/11. here we are, maybe days before the u.s. could launch limited cruise missile in syria. here we are, knowing that cyber front attack 24/7. and we have an in secretary pomata could and we have an acting deputy secretary of homeland security. and that just cries out for administration and for us to do our jobs to make sure we have in place the kind of confirmed leadership that we need capable, confirmed leadership. okay, that having been said, let me turn to a topic i just mention come it's on our minds come and that is the potential for military action, limited military action in syria, and less the country really pushes and dismantles of their ca

the difficult part about writing a book like this is that my probe tag nist is a building -- protagonist is a building, is a school, is a thing. and how do you bring that to life? but as i talked to graduates and as i read and started researching, i really realized dunbar had a spirit and a soul even though it was a building and a school and an entity. and i really wanted to see what the school was like now. i figured, okay, let me go to the school. it's about 2005, 2006. i want to go see, there must be history at the school, there must be yearbooks. so i was working in d.c., and i said to minute, hey, i'm going over to dunbar high school, and hay said, dunbar, they have an awesome football team. i said, yeah, they do, and sports are really important be, but what about all the great academics that have come out of the school, and the person had no knowledge of it. and this was a very smart d.c. perp. and i thought, well, that's a little alarming, that he doesn't know. and be then when i got to the school, i understood why he didn't know. i went to the school that was one that was built i

what has become of the pro tag gee nists. >> dick fold was a star on wall street. longest running ceo of any firm. in 2007 he launched a vicious campaign against short sellers that was trying to put lehman out of business. >> what i want to do is reach in, rip out their heart and eat it before they die. >> five years after lehman's collapse fold is chaisenned. he has a small firm in manhattan. of the clients he does have, one warned his tarnished reputation could potentially be damaging. fuld has spent much of the last five years trying to avoid criminal and civil charges. he ran up legal bills into the millions of dollars. much of it paid for by the lehman estate. the d.o.j. and s.e.c. dropped their investigations after they concluded they don't have enough evidence against him. fuld has kept a low profile. he's been spotted on the weekends flying coach to one of his homes in florida. while he rode his lehman stocks from $1 billion down to $56 billion, he's not exactly poor. he has a mansion worth over $8 million and he sold a park avenue apartment for over $46 mi

is setting the standards along with nist. one of the things that we have to fix, especially in the defense department. i'm not sure, debbie, if you're going to talk about this but hopefully i won't steal your thunder, we need a defensible architecture. the legacy architecture that we have today has a number of problems with it. we have 15,000 enclaves. it is almost impossible to see what's going on in every one of those enclaves. think of this as all these tables in this room and you want to know what somebody's writing in their notes and they're 10 tables over, there's no way for you to do that. i mean, that's a good thing probably. but there's no way to see attacks coming in. if they get to one table, everybody else is open. our architecture needs to be redefined, and i think that cloud architecture that's been pushed forward for the joint information environment and the intel communities, i.t. environment, is where our nation needs to be. a thin, virtual cloud environment. and it offers some great capabilities for the futu

republicans have had trouble running against women without overplaying their hand and coming off as shove nistre's polling that shows that voters think that women may be more likely to work together in washington, get things done. the democratic pollster tells us that women are viewed as more likely to reach across the aisle, rather than grandstand. i don't know where she would get that. >> mike, i heard that arens were thinking the same thing -- republicans were thinking the same thing too. such a premium on compromise, the issues will be trying to run a candidate who voters think will behave like a grownup and get washington working rather than shutting down. >> that's right. and so republicans also are going on a diversity push of the 40 open seats, seats where someone's not running to be re-elected that are competitive, a quarter of those have a candidate who's a woman, who's a minority or who's gay or less beyond, among republicans. so both sides see this polling, both sides are agreeing with katty that voters want washington to work together, want to break this fever a little bit. >> the

pursue a robust engagement in the hopes of helping the syrian people replace al-assad with a secular nist and modern government. however, while life long argued forcefully for in powering this syrian people i never supported the military force for the u.s. that 34 said the conflict. and i still don't. i remain unconvinced the force here will work. the leading the would prevent us ought from using chemical weapons in the future is for the people to remove him from power. to strike the administration wants us to approve i do not believe it furthers that goal and in fact the u.s. military action of the contemplated here may prove to be counterproductive. after a few days of missile strikes, al-assad would claim he took on the united states and survived. and by the way i also think this action could unleash a series of defense that could further destabilize the region. but this idea that a military response is the leeway to respond to what's happening in syria is not true. instead, our response should have always been and should be a multifaceted plan to help the syrian people get rid of assa
