we didn't see any signature collection. the group who was circulating it had a press statement right after they submitted their title saying we're not associated with personhood usa. personhood in florida, a couple of people in the room have been wondering why i'm bringing up personhood in florida. the ballot initiative title for 2012 in florida on personhood has expired. in florida you need to i think you need to pay 10 cent as signature to have it submitted to the secretary of state, and they were having fund-raising challenges and i think signature challenges. they withdrew the 2012 before it expired and submitted it 2014. so they are actively fund-raising and doing earned media but won't be on 2012. last but not least, stop baby skull crushing and detap indication in north dakota. decapitation. this was supposed to be a ban on tools used for abortion, and i don't think i need to tell anyone that the title of this really hurt them. i don't think people were comfortable with it. so, that is my quick and dirty on what the

have until about july 4th to collect over 385,000 signatures. so we're not sure we'll see it this year. but it could be a possibility for an off-year like 2013 or 2015. personhood in oklahoma. oklahoma is a little bit eye of the personhood storm right now. i'm sure you've all seen the revamping of the personhood bill in their legislature. this did pass the senate overwhelmingly. i think only four people voted against it. and this was during the time of the virginia ultrasound. so it quietly went away, because there was a lot of outrage. and i don't think people in oklahoma wanted that outrage on them too. it's kind of come back. but not only is legislation on march 1st, personhood oklahoma filed a ballot initiative. again, it's personhood classic language, life begins at conception. and they said they will file three. so we're unsure what that looks like yet. we're unsure if this is another nevada situation where they wait until there is a challenge, withdraw, use that challenge to strengthen their language and try again. but they do have a kind

enough signatures. it was rejected today because the font on the petition was too small. a group calling themselves the citizens for fiscal responsibility challenged the petitions because they said the font size was too small. the two democrats on the board voted to let the petitions go forward. the two republicans voted no. board members jeffrey timer and norman shrinkle said the law was clear and they must follow it to the letter. as we reported it in the past, jeffrey timmer is one of three partners in a republican consulting firm that was involved in bringing the font size challenge to the petition today. these challengers, citizens for fiscal responsibility live inside this guy's republican consulting firm. their address and phone number are the same as the address and phone number for the consulting firm run by jeffrey timer, republican strategist and republican member of the board of canvassers. think about this. he is ruling yes or no on a font size challenge brought by a group that is operating

industry partners see signatures that government doesn't see and government sees signatures or militia software, exploitations and attack into the country that industry doesn't see. information sharing and the ability to do that is key to stopping that. what i see from the d.i.b. pilot was increased discussion between government and industry, and this was a good thing. and it has grown. it continues to grow and we're getting better. so in legislation, what i think is we need to make the first step. we need to start. start on that journey. we won't get it perfect but we need that ability for industry to share with us the fact that these attacks and exploits are going on. or we cannot stop them. we cannot help. there is five areas that i focused on with our folks, with the folks at u.s. khyber are command. at u.s. cyber command. first, we have to build and train cyberforces and these are things that bob kehler and i are arm and arm on. second a defensible architecture. you mentioned 15,000 enclaves and the reality is, our antiquated architecture, if we went to the way google, yahoo! and

the administration's also seeking to extend the signature-based defense that the nsa and the u.s. cyber command have developed for d.o.d. critical infrastructure. since the administration is seeking to implement both approaches, the implication is that neither one alone is seen as sufficient to meet the threat. others, however, take the position that information sharing in conjunction with the national security agencies defensive solution would be enough, that it's not necessary to require critical infrastructure companies to build up their own defenses. do you believe that nsa's signature-based defense deployed recently in the defense industrial base pilot program can defend our nation's critical infrastructure against nation state cyber threats, or do you believe that the critical infrastructure companies also need to close their vulnerabilities? >> senator, first, i think it's the latter. we need both. but i'd like to take it one step further because i don't think what we're talking about is having nsa deploy capabilities out there. rather, what we're talking about is nsa provi

and they have been fully collecting signatures across the state.the interesting thing about ohio though is that if i'm a registered ohio voter and i signed the petition, and it's not submitted in 2012, my signature could be used to be submitted at a later date. so they could use 2012 and them being a swing state, to build up their petition signatures. because they have and to about july 4 to collect over 385,000 signatures. so we are not sure we will see it this year, but it could be a possibility for an off year like 2013 or 2015. personhood in oklahoma. oklahoma is although eye of the storm right now. i'm sure you've all seen the revamping of the personhood bill in their legislator. this did pass the senate overwhelmed. i think only four people voted against it. it was during the time of the virginia ultrasounds. so it quietly went away because there was a lot of outrage, and i don't think the people of oklahoma wanted that outrage on them, too. it kind of came back but not only is it legislation on marc march 1 personhood in oklahoma filed a bal

the so-called signature strike policy went into effect earlier this month, and at least one attack haseady been launched. it is widely expected the number of u.s. drone strikes will see a radical jump with a new policy in place. at least 40 civilians have been killed in 27 u.s. strikes inside yemen since 2009. the sweeping leeway for the strikes have already been in effect in pakistan. >> a pakistani lawyer who represents victims of u.s. drone strikes was granted a visa to the u.s. earlier this week. scheduled to address the drawn summit this weekend, shahzad akbar had previously been forced to cancel a trip to the u.s. after he was denied a visa. he will be joining us on the program. he filed the first case in pakistan on behalf of family members of civilian victims of drone strikes. >> i think people are scared. i have seen some people, interviewed some neighbors whose next-door house was hit. i could feel what they are feeling, because they are feeling this imminent threat. they are feeling helpless at the same time because they have no place to relocate. a lot of them have no skill

the companies then use these signatures to detect and block intrusion attempts. carnegie mellon conducted an independent assessment of the dib pilot for dod and concluded that nsa provided few signatures that were not already known to the companies themselves and in many cases the dib companies by themselves detected advanced threats with their own nonsignature-based detection methods that probably is not known to the nsa. and so we need to hear from general alexander on his view of those issues as well. we thank you both again for your service, for your being here this morning and we call on senator mccain. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me thank our distinguished witnesses for joining us this morning and their many years of service to our nation. u.s. strategic command is in the midst of pivotal change has we proceed with the modernization of the nuclear weapons complex and nuclear triad and further imbred cyber defense and cyber attack and the core mission competencies of 21st century warfare. nuclear modernization i'm encouraged even with the unprecedented l

charles sumner, one of its supporters, had obtained on his copy over 150 signatures, including of that president lincoln. sumner, as evidence of his friendship, he gave his copy to james. that copy containing the most original signatures in existence today, is now part of the collection at the indiana university library and is called the wormley sumner copy. from before the warriors until his death, charles sumner had a very close relationship with james and his family. not only did james assist him with his needs while in the district, they also met regularly to discuss current political trends. james was at his bedside in his final hours and accompanied the body for funeral services at kings chapel in boston. their friendship was finally memorialized when james donated sumner's portrait. which had been commissioned by james to the commonwealth of mismis. massachusetts. as the senator's personal effects were being auctioned out of his estate, james purchased the largest number of artifacts which were used to furnish the sumner parlor at the hotel. during the war, james not only conduc

future strikes without knowing who their targets might even be but want to know if you thought the signature of france writes can be considered a terror tactic it's got a producer patrice in ascending to find out what she had to say. i'm of the streets of d.c. to tell people in the nation's capital what our viewers had to say on twitter facebook and you tube and see which comments we should keep or delete. from. the cia wants to launch drone strikes in yemen based on suspicious behavior without really knowing the identity of the target so could this be considered a terror tactic on a reader response from oars and on you tube he said drone attacks are a terrorist act they demolish buildings kill people indiscriminately and are operated in secret pretty much the same thing as a terrorist attack if you want to keep that comment or delete or keep it so they all think yeah i can keep it. because the thing that you need to have a hundred percent evidence of times do you want to keep that or delete it. delete that we're trying to keep the terrorists out so it's not it's not the same as a terrorist

we have somebody forging somebody's signature. the interesting part about being in rackets is that, since you're doing a case proactively before the arrest takes place, you almost kind of see the headline that's going to be coming out. you may not know whether it's ghoul or body snatcher or what's going to happen, you know this is a story or it's going to be once a reporter finds out, it's going to be on the front page. >> it was october 7th, 2005, and the headline read, "body snatchers of new york," exclusive. that packed a tremendous wallop. >> that was the first of many front page articles on this case. >> it was a monster story. >> this sounds like something from a horror film. bodies that were supposed to be prepared for burial or cremation were cut open. bones were illegally removed from bodies and often replaced with pvc pipe so families wouldn't notice. >> i can go up there and describe exactly what i did and the media can go up there and describe what i did and there would be two different stories with ghouls, and choppin

supporters and some eight hundred thousand signatures to elections department wrong i hope. you measure for the november ballot they say solution to prison for life with no room will save the state millions of dollars. so that's when they were still gathering the signatures now it's on the ballot member six people are going to vote for it but i mean the kind of sad thing is that you have to sell this it's going to save you a lot of money hey we should abolish the death penalty because. people especially when we can always prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty but what i thought was amazing that it was it's what one hundred thirty eight million dollars keep then to keep the seven hundred people that are on death row on death row but the ones that have been executed which is not that many i forget the number that you like in the tens. it was four billion dollars i mean i think for a state like california to make the economic argument broke right is actually really important i think more users like that will probably have more chance of working unfortunately beca
