but even more important as allen said a moment ago the and the data were the models because the data ne will not tell about risk. it will not tell about liquidity. it won't tell about bubbles and other features necessary in order to understand the risks that face our financial system and so the analysis phase extremely important as well. so, that concludes my brief summary of the meeting, the national research council, the full summary i would ask be attached to the record. >> without objection. let me say a few other things in my remaining time. beta a gathered by supervisory agencies is already being used in attempts to try to calculate and evaluate systemic risk. the data however is often available as asked basis in other words it does not flow regularly to the agency's. they need to request it from the agencies they supervise and this gives them on the partial picture in any case. there is additional data up with in the clearinghouses that is available to the regulators but again, regulators cannot get this on a regular basis and this difficulty with sharing it across regulators r

the problem is this is macro data. atabase they have. we have not brought it together with our unemployment findings and bankruptcy findings. this prevents us from being able to do with -- . this date it together in a way so we can build real models. w3the systemic issues that we ae talking about between the major corporations, j.p. morgan, aig, are extensive. we understand that they are very complex and they are difficult to track. we have large amounts of information regarding derivative data but it is only segments of the market. we cannot have all of that because it is all about available. part of the issue is the investment that needs to be done to build the database. >> ça i do not sense there is a mutually exclusive agenda. i think we are talking about the same thing which is building in the short term and information- gathering tool that will help us but for the longer term, get to the point where if this a housing bubble gives us insight into the need for the nif. basically, five years ago, i started predictin

collecting data is not enough. we need the systemic risk. it would take more than data collection and more than just building models themselves. in my view, this is a fundamental scientific problem. we applaud for fundamental research efforts in order to understand the framework to be able to frame the methods, get the models in place, and what we need. i echo the sentiment that we do not know all of the data and we will not know until weçó have a process. it is fundamental.

in their apps for america contest, it harnessed the community to create tools using government data. one of the winners was datamasher. here, they help you find the meaning in the numbers. one of the most popular is overpopulation, which tracks population relative to land area. roll over any of the states to find out where they rank like the state of hawaii ranking 14, or you can create your own mash-up using data like obesity and cancer. these sites are trying to help us be government watchdogs and users of the information that we pay for. frank. >> sonya, thanks. back to aneesh chopra and ellen miller then. as far as this information is concerned, you know, journalists are trained to always be skeptical. anything you tell me, hmm, i'm gonna look at 3 different ways, and that's appropriate because we found in the past we can't always trust government information, but now we're talking about more government information going directly to people without journalists perhaps in the middle to contextualize it. so where does information leave off and spin or even propaganda take up? ellen?

look at all of these social problems and show you the data up. of the picture is very substantially the same in both of those different settings. we're also worry people might think we have chosen problems to suit our argument so we also look to unicef the importance of that is that other people made up the index with 40 different components of child well-being go into the unicef index whether they can talk to their parents, books at home, bullying at school, immunization rates, everything goes into it. if you look at it in relation to inequality, you find the clear relationships again. a very strong tendency, you do exactly what we would withdraw level of any quality. once more, that same index with her person the child well-being their, absolutely no relationship. all that data shows it says no longer the whole society is getting richer. what matters is how far behind us children are or the poor are but the gaps between us and the distance up and down the social hierarchy that matters. now i will handed over to kate that will talk about the indi

the problem is this is macro data. e can build real models. w3the systemic issues that we ae talking about between the major corporations, j.p. morgan, aig, are extensive. we understand that they are very complex and they are difficult to track. we have large amounts of information regarding derivative data but it is only segments of the market. we cannot have all of that because it is all about available. part of the issue is the investment that needs to be done to build the database. >> ça i do not sense there is a mutually exclusive agenda. i think we are talking about the same thing which is building in the short term and information- gathering tool that will help us but for the longer term, get to the point where if this a housing bubble gives us insight into the need for the nif. basically, five years ago, i started predicting a major credit dip in the housing sector that was going to push the economy and the worst recession -- in the worst recession since the second world war. what was happening to housing price

the data that the sec is collecting, the data of the census -- we can take all that data, piece it together, and try to figure out the best way to attack the and served -- the unserved areas. if you live in rural tennessee and broadband is unavailable, all of these great applications are not usable. this allows us to know where those gaps are, where those areas are, and make the best decision we can about addressing those areas. >> what is yahoo! demonstrating today? >> today we are demonstrating our ad interested manager. congress has been looking at online privacy. last year, a testament -- i testified on this issue. we're trying to do better notice about what kind of information is used for behavior all advertising and to give people a choice over which categories are used and whether they can opt out entirely. that is what we are demonstrating here today. >> you are making two different technologies. what does each of them do? >> 1 gives an icon and label that comes with the ads. with an ad will come a label the user can click on and find who is serving that add to them. they will find

the adp data is coming out. we'll have to see how we go. we've got uk services pmi coming out fairly shortly, as well. christine, how are we doing on the currency markets? >> as far as the dollar is concerned, it's looking pretty mixed once again. the dollar is weaker against the yen. but it is stronger against the euro. the euro is being impacted by the uk data coming out. sterling, is 76060. euro/sterling, 0.8727. nicole, over to you. >> and we could see u.s. investors today get the first of three reports this week on the labor market. the adp employment report is out at 8:15 new york time. the forecast is calling for a loss of 30,000 loss of jobs last month. at 10:00 a.m., the ism services index will be released. analysts are looking for 51. any number bofs 50 denotes growth in that sector. treasury secretary timothy geithner is calling the house ways and means committee about 10:00 this morning. the u.s. weekly inventory data is out at 10:30 in the morning. a dow jones survey calls for oil to remain unchanged, gasoline to build by 1 mill

as the data moves across borders whose law is cui to apply? these are important questions that governments need to sort out if all of this technology is printed before work and realize this potential. >> if the quality computing is double what servers not located with a person's own personal computer, the current law that govern the information that stays on a server or within the personal-computer but do they not match up to what is needed as far as the cloud computing is concerned? >> guest: in some cases there are differences. let's say you're keeping documents on your hard disk, door pc in your bedroom. if the government wants to take a look at that, it needs to get a search warrant. the reason is because the fourth amendment and the lights come before the net into the constitution says that is what the government has to do. but when you take the same information and give it to a third party, the courts really have not been clear whether the fourth amendment applies. in that kind of situation in the past, congress has acted to make clear ev

according to the report the data received from the department was unreliable, unverifiable, and, contained little assurance that components properly tracked or accounted for all conferences and related costs. when i made the request, i informed the ig neither waste nor extravagance by the department in performance of the critical role should be accepted or condoned, and i meant it when i said it and i continue to stand by the statement now, at the conclusion of its investigation the ig made 12 separate recommendations, including, increased department-wide oversight and the development of internal controls, to increase accountability, and transparency, of department conference activities. i fully intend to monitor the department's interesting, on these important recommendations. i look forward to receiving the witnesses' testimony, on this important matter. >> under the committee rules, opening statement will be submitted for the record, i welcome our witnesses, our first witness is under secretary for management, elaine duch. she currently serves as the department of homeland security's un

, we are going across borders, in which case the rights and restrictions on what can happen with the data in those centers takes on a more global nature. how do you see that an -- evolving over the future, and will it be an impediment to the future of global computing centers? >> it is going to become an impediment if government does not start to act. if you are in the cloud computing business, it is a catch-22 waiting to happen. you may have one country that says you must keep all of your data records about people's searches for 12 months, because we want our police to be able to get access to it. another country may say, you had better destroy all that after six months, because we care about privacy. let's say we have a data center that is running in ireland, and the irish tell us to destroy the records after six months, but we have the records of italians in harlem, and the italians tell us to keep it for 12 this is where we have a pressing need for governments to come together. there will come a day when we will seek an effective free trade agreement for data. unfortunately, that is a

. >> they've got all the data. they've got the entire membership that still has their cards. >> reporter: after closing, clear told its customers not to worry, the computers had been tripled wifed clean, wipe agoway the data. but clear kept the data base and months later, some of the customers had to go to court to stop the company from selling their information. >> if the service is no longer being offered by the company that collected the data, they really have no reason to continue to keep the data. >> reporter: he believes the stop clear collected should be destroyed. he believes keeping it around puts privacy at risk. >> it's really a problem they did not want to risk. >> reporter: some customers were already fed up. one group of members filed a class action lawsuit. the attorney says they continue to sell memberships and collect skies shut down and didn't offer a refund. >> reporter: he doesn't care if he gets his money back. in fact, he's hoping another company working to take over clear takes off. >> i love

. >> i could under why they would not want to cover it and if you look at all the data, it is hard for us to under why in this case -- understand why in this case coventry wouldn't cover it. >> they are proving it works and their appeal was denied twice. >> the point is, many other people have had the operation. and other insurance companies cover it. lots of them do. >> it is not experimental if you speak to the doctors. i spoke to the people at the dinner that night who have had the surgery two years out. five years out. multiple years out and i asked everybody, did your insurance cover it. yes. what insurance company was that and they told me. >> we made repeated attempts to debt a response from coventry,

the data suggests another negative number. >> bob, 4% for this year? nk -- >> i'm at 4% as well. i think the point that where i think larry and mark agree on is that the unemployment rate is capped at not just the rate of growth but what happens to peace rate. i don't have a model for the participation rate. it fell phenomenally i don't know what it will do, but i think we'll get 4% and good job growth. i don't know what it means for the unemployment rate, as i said last time, if we get good job growth i think the administration will switch tactics and be talking about job growth and not the unemployment rate, because you had that extra risk of what happens to the people who left the workforce. >> someone will be talking about the unemployment rate. >> obviously. >> yeah. >> if you're running against them, you're talking about the unemployment rate. but for my clients worried about the stock market, if you get good growth and you have good profit growth, then this is a correction, not the onset of a bear market. and a correction always calls into questi

i have had a hard time understanding, therefore, given the fact that your competitors make this data downloadable easily, i have had difficulty understanding toyota invoking proprietary technology that allows only you, toyota, on the spot to download. why should we respect your proprietary technology any more than we with respect the proprietary technology of other automakers, particularly given the safety aspects of this matter and the fact that an accident has already occurred. why do you not want to clear the air as quickly as possible? on what basis do you invoke some proprietary technology interest when your competitors do not in the downloading area? >> let me respond to that question first that yes, we know detroit's three manufacturers have this information and then the reader is commercially available. toyota is also -- >> wait a minute. what's commercially available and when? >> the detroit three -- general motors, ford, chrysler -- have this commercially available reader that this -- what you -- >> why don't you have such a reader? >> we are in the process of making it avai

. >> reporter: they have been wiped clean, they say, wiping away the sensitive data. but some of the customers had to go to court to stop the company from selling their information. >> if the service is no longer being offered by the company that collected the data, they really have no reason to continue to keep the data. >> reporter: mark rotenberg with the privacy information center believe the stuff clear collected should be destroyed. he believes keeping it around puts customers' privacy at risk. >> this is a problem they didn't want to have. >> reporter: one group of members filed a class action lawsuit. in it attorneys say weeks before closing clear continued to sell memberships and collect dues and then shut down and didn't give any refunds. derek's hoping another company that takes over clear he can carry on. >> if it saves 10 minutes, on some days it's worth it. >> reporter: worth it to skip the lines and surrender the secrets. derek hopes the next company flies right. joce sterman, abc2 news. >> clear filed bankruptcy late last year. another company is trying

my point is watch the data. make your judgment based on information as it comes in, whether it's six months, three months a year, it will depend on new information. you can't -- you cannot predict the future with certainty. >> susie: what data are you watching? what's the most important data? >> i'm watching very carefully the industrial production numbers as they come out. i think today's employment numbers were important information. and we will watch that each month as we proceed. and a broad base of economic data. >> susie: as you suggest that the circumstances have changed in the economy and it's beginning -- that it's important for the feed make note of that, you know, a lot of people are so concerned about talking about any kind increase in interest rate, at a time with today's news that 8.5 million people lost jobs in this recession. what is it that you're seeing that others are not? >> well, i don't know that i'm seeing anything different, but i think i'm trying to maximize the ability to assure that the

combine with the the ease with which such centrally stored data may be shares with otherseate a risk. what does that say to you as someone who is in the cloud computing business? >> guest: i think it says we need clarity and complicity so that consumers and businesses know what's going on. one of the things we've been talking about is the analogy to the truth in lending act, something that congress passed in 1968 so that when we go to banks and we engage in a credit transaction, there are some standards that apply, and the banks have to tell us what the terms of the deal really are. in the same way, i do think we need to get to the point where it's clear for consumers if that they're putting their information online. i think people are entitled, we're all entitled to though, what's the service provider going to do with this information? how are they going to use my documents? if i want to move my documents to another service provider in the future, am i going to be able to do so? and perhaps especially important, what is the service provider going to do to maintain securit

we depend on the noaa satellites for a variety of data and information. the continuous flow of environmental observations supports whether and corrine forecasting, climate assessment and change predictions, and even space weather forecasts. did it and imagery from satellites are used by emergency managers for use in times of severe weather, they offer you need monitoring capabilities to support air, land and marine transportation and provide support when performing research and rescue functions. i've highlighted to of these programs or new. jason and three, sea level rise in directly friends close of infrastructure three increased erosion were a frequent storms surge flooding and loss of habitats do for example of to drown wetlands. it will provide continuity of sea surface heights and measurements for scientists to assess impacts and develop mitigation strategy to cope with this threat. in 2011 noaa requests increase of 30 million for a total of 50 million to continue with the procurement of u.s. sensors and award a contract for the missions launch vehicl

it's really the next five days, a key point of u.s. economic data because we get chicago manufacturing tomorrow, the ism on monday and then employment next week. if those were to trend like we've seen the consumer confidence and home sales yesterday, you'll suddenly be talking about double dip in another week. >> thanks, jason. again, you said 1080 and 1114? >> 1114. >> thank you. we appreciate it. back down to carl. >>> when we come back, inside and outside the beltway. headlines catching our attention when "squawk box" continues. >>> plus, senator johns barrasoo, eric cantor, steny hoyer and kathleen sebelius talking health care when we come back. hi, ellen! hi, ellen! hi, ellen! hi, ellen! we're going on a field trip to china! wow.

a final question that i would like to get to, the christmas issue really was more about the data bases it not, and the compatibility of the interaction of databases. the question arises as to computer science and the ability for computer science to deal with the multiple databases and integrating them. >> thank you. >> thank you. before i get on to my next set of questions, i want to finish up with further information on the last question. after my discussion with the committee staff two days ago, they went to the archives and found two surveys, both done after the christmas incident. both were released january 11. one survey by cnn finds that full body scanners should be used, 75% should not be used. there are no back up numbers on that so we don't know what the opinion of the traveling public is as opposed to a non-traveling sample. the gallup-usa today organization found, let's see -- there are a variety of findings here. the majority, 67% say they would not be personally uncomfortable undergoing such a scan, the full body skin. 48% said they would not be uncomfortable at all. 10% s

and this affects the data. it also affects maybe what's going to happen with the recovery in coming months. what's your gauge of it? >> it is going to affect the data. it's going to affect next week's payroll performance jum bers. and it's going to affect the housing data and may already be one reason why the housing data has been as weak as it's been. >> how will it affect the payroll? have you been bringing down your numbers because of the weather we've had? >> so we don't have an estimate out yet, but we do think, you know, something like a triple-digit number. just from the weather affect. of course, lots of other things going on is certainly very plausible. >> jan, you've been introducing a paper here. you and a bunch of academics and wall street analysts came together to do a forecast on economic conditions. one thing you find is that things are getting worse when it comes to financial conditions. why is that and what's the impact on the economy in coming months from that? >> essentially what we find is th

small insurers can't get the data for their consolidation is likely. ce will either merge to gain a competitive edge or get swallowed up by the big insurance gines. again the majority is putting together an insurance company consolidation bill. less competition rather than more. and worse, a repeal could result in the small insurers going out of business altogether. meanwhile, for the big insurance companies, the big bad insurance companies with the means to collect and analyze this data in house, it would simply be business as usual. this legislation attempts to solve a problem that doesn't exist. first, there's no evidence that the exemption has increased health insurer's prices or profits -- two more minutes. mr. smith: i yield two more minutes. mr. sensenbrenner: or contributed to higher market concentration. second, the effort to repeal mccarran-ferguson is based on the belief that it allows individual insurers to collude on prices and policy coverage. state laws prohibit insurers from bid rigging, price fixing, and market allocation to restrain co

as one company, the data along to you, we will use it in very limited ways. l tell you what we are going to do with it. absolutely, you should be able to take your data with you. if you do not like our e-mail and you want to move it to someone else's e-mail and you do not want to use microsoft word, have committed to take a number of steps. i do not think it is the government's role to tell everybody, you must do this particular thing. it is appropriate to say, make clear what you are doing so that everybody knows and everybody can compare and everybody can evaluate. >> one of the shorter term thoughts to moving forward is the thought of private facilities. how do feel about the notion of private clouds and is that sort of a contradiction to the terms that we have talked about with larger public clouds where you do see the economy of that kind of computing? >> private clouds are absolutely important and part of the future. it reflects an attribute of the information technology industry. we take a word that everybody understands and use it in a way that people

at that time i offered an amendment to the bill to allow the sharing of historical data and the performance of services by insurance companies, not future trending data, but rather looking backward, historical data. at that time it was adopted unanimously by the committee, therefore in a bipartisan basis, our distinguished chairman of the committee supported my amendment which he described at the time as, quote, a helpful clarification. there's one thing that we ought to understand when we have this downturn in the economy, if you want to make sure things don't happen in the private economy, insert uncertainty. if you want to make sure that things cost more than they otherwise would, insert uncertainty. and that's what we are doing by not allowing that in the bill before us. in fact, i should point out to my friends on the other side, section 262 of your health care bill, your health care bill, adopted on this floor allowed for the sharing of such information. it contained the language of my amendment. unfortunately for whatever reason it has been held out of the bill before us. unless anyt

i've just received the data for 2010. at unlike the retention payments not on my watch and i'm trying -- >> neil: understood. >> all right? when it comes to pprospective compensation in 2010 for the top 25 individuals at aig including some in the financial products division, that is on my watch. >> neil: excuse my ignorance. is it still under your purview when they return all the tarp dough -- >> no. >> neil: so, so -- that's my point. that incideentivizes to return the money fast so you don't breathe down their you know what. >> it sure does. that's fine with me. if aig or any company is able to repay every dime it borrowed from the taxpayers, exiting my supervision, it's the primary objective. i said it before and say it again that's what we are trying to accomplish. >> neil: i know you are not revealing the figures that you use in your head but is it fair to say that any ten times the base salary level have to be justified. if it's ten times that, $5 million, you really have to joustfy it? >> look, you have to justfy an

we will do this and examine the data. e no mandatory jurisdiction to set compensation at goldman sachs. >> yes, do you think any of the past through monday whewent to paying out record bonuses -- duke -- do you think any of the past for money went to paying a record bonuses? half of america is trying to pay their mortgage. >> i share the concern. my role is somewhat limited, congressman, but i do have this one opportunity to inquire shortly, and we will do so. >> thank you for that response. as a follow-up -- what did you finally decide was fair compensation for a.i.g. employees and did you take any action towards their financial products division, the sector of the company at a.i.g. that traded derivative swaps? >> we certainly did. there is a company that falls within my jurisdiction. the retention contracts that were entered into are legally binding contracts that i could not invalidate. i asked aig financial products to roll those contracts over, like other companies did instead of asking for the cash, put it into long

much of the requested data is several years old. is the department better able to track and produce data for more recent fiscal years? if not, what plans do you have to enhance your tracking process where you leverage the capabilities of task to approve better visibility? >> accountability is better now because we have one central person but it is still a manual system. we are looking at tasks to be part of the solution for automated financial control. additionally, we are moving to a standard classification system. what mr. mann says will not happen where things are accounted for in different ways within different compounds. >> the next question for you, madam secretary. spending related to travel and conferences, you touched on some of the outcomes in your testimony. could you elaborate on the findings of the initiative and does the conference data provide to the inspector general's office include spending for congressional requested trips? >> know, this was just on conferences and did not include congressional requested trips. whe

the map. and what most researchers would conclude from that kind of distribution of data was ha -- in fact, theres no correlation. but instead, what these researchers invoked was something called internalized oppression, the idea being that -- that the folks who claimed to have no experiences of discrimination really did, but that either they didn't register it consciously as discrimination because they had so -- they had such a low self-regard that -- that they felt this was just acceptable behavior. this is the way we should be treated in society, hence internalized oppression. you know, w -- it didn't even register a -- as an aberrant event. or perhaps, they found it too painful to report. the -- these were the explanations. but that's not a falsifiable explanation. in other words, it could be -- it could be invoked to explain anything. so it's not really scientifically rigorous. c-span: define some of the terms you write about. what's an indoctrinologist? >> guest: well, that is a term that -- that i made up. actually, a patient of mine made it up. he said he was going to the endocrinologist,

more than that, i think the data sharing, the verification we started doing new pre-screening spoor providers we need to -- make sure that people are not just hanging out a shingle and making themselves out to be a medicare provider. there is tha service being provided. making sure these activities are legitimate but it is something we're taking very seriously. no question in this country that we are behind a lot of the rest of the world in our use of technology in the health system. it is still fairly stunning to me that in the vast majority of hospital systems and doctors' offices, we are using paper records. i cannot imagine any small operation in the manufacturing sector that would be using a written list and hand mailing it to someone in hopes the delivery would take place. that is the kind of technology that is in most providers' offices today. congress and the president made a significant investment in developing a national electronic health records platform in the recovery act. what we're hoping is that we can provide enough incentives to have the tipping point that the market will to

with the dna data bases, the convicted offender data bases, the way they are now, you have a high likelihood of identifying an offender. in quite a few cases where we have identified suspects of these families, they've been appreciative that we didn't forget about it. >> reporter: bob phillips never forgets. >> i guess we have open homicides of elderly women. one in the bethesda area, one in the silver spring area. those constantly stick in my mind. >> reporter: two women were killed 24 years ago. >> we can't overlook the lyon sisters from 1975, two young girls, 10 and 12 years old, who turned up missing walking home from wheaton plaza. >> reporter: clearly the work for bob phillips is not finished. he may be retired, but he's not quitting. >> i still enjoy it. i still have the desire, the energy. i have no thoughts at this point about not doing it. >> reporter: joe krebs, news4, washington. >>> it's hard to think about a snow shortage with all the snow we are seeing, but that's exactly the case they've got in vancouver right now where there isn't enough snow on whistler mountain, home to th

when you from the data. the world is getting warmer. continually getting warmer. e data are so compelling that they overwhelm any effect it has -- that might have come from this winter. >> bill: all right, joe. you reply. >> sort of nothing to do with it. >> that's not true, bill. when you blast so 2 over top of the atmosphere over top the artic, it absorbs sunlight warms the atmosphere and cools prop sphere. that can be documented from what happened back in 1912 if you bent back and looked at the following winters. look at this. >> bill: wait, wait, wait, bill. let joe go. >> you want to bring up the co 2 argument. look at the sun spots back here, back in 1750 and notice that they have been coming up and along with it the temperatures. basically it comes down to this. if you you look at the strength of correlation to warming, and this is a cure tetion is i of meetion joe daleo. you can see .43, the sun .57, the ocean .85. but since 1998, co 2 is going next to nothing because the earth's temperature is flat lining and co 2 is coming up. so what you have to believe,

>> when you going to the data base, you can find it but going forward, one of the things i lis that we are making nowÑi a prodt safety executive. it's part of the global committee headed by one american, anyuiÑiñr look to othr regions like europe and china. and in that, all the information is shared their said that we can evaluate and no one is going on in a more transparent way. these to the changes that we're making now. >> just a side question from me. does japan have a system similar to the united states where you can sue for damages? >> i believe that we do. >> we have a contest going on sometimes in the united states that we called tort reform. it's an argument that my friends on the other side very often use in the medical field. if you had tort reform, if you'll allow some people to die without recovery, and i think you are making the best argument for why we have the present tort system, and i hope you recognize what kind of payment for the injuries and damages suffered by innocent american citizens who live grown up in an atmosphere where we had a great deal of faith in somet

much of the requested data is several years old. is the department better able to track data through the recent fiscal years and if not what plans do have to enhance tracking process to leverage tasks to better visibility? mckown stability is better now because we have wide sentral person but it is still a manual system and we're looking at to be part of the solution for automated controls and also yet moving to a standard classification system so things don't happen that things are accounted for in different ways for different components. >> thank you. next question to the portion of the secretary vicious a review initiative focusing on spending related to travel and conferences but touched on some of the outcomes in your testimony could you elaborate on the findings of the initiative and does the conference data provide to the inspector general's office account for side visits or congressional trips? >> no. it was just on conferences. what we're doing in addition to the accounting is looking at the in addition of the number of peop

centers then the grid, the internet, and now you see this larger data centers. so are we exposing the critical i.t. plants to additional cyber security risk by putting them all in one place? in our facility in miami we have 170 carriers and the farms are served by the same networks as before coming into the facility. if you want to breach one of their systems, you still have to come in through the network and defeat all of their security features, et cetera, to get in there, you have to come across the logical network. we have a team of i.t. security experts headed up by chris day who is sitting in the back and he'll speak on the next panel and who take care of that and design and build detection and protection systems and fire walls, et cetera, and also design the methods and procedures we take when it's breached and how we handle that and that is a very important point you'll hear me repeat in a second. then you ask why am i here? my team designs and builds the organs of these mission critical facilities. we design the power, cooling, the security, layer zero,

and all of that is going to be piled onto the data. know, we have the interagency debt, public debt. you add all those together. our debt total is now, you know, right over $13 trillion. we put another $1.4 trillion in this year's annual deficit on to that debt. and people are saying look, i don't have any more money i can send to washington. they at first right of refusal on my paychecks. i rdf two months left at the end of my money. government can't take any more out of this. if i have to pay more in taxes and increase, that i'm going to have fewer people that i can higher. if they go implement this cap-and-trade bill, i'm going to see my fees go up. if they implement health care, i'm going to include the cost of that health care go out. what is happening in washington d.c. because this seems like, and rightfully so, to a lot of our constituents, do what we are seeing right now is more emphasis on growing government and stimulating big government. and we're not seeing the emphasis on creating jobs and making certain that the environme

the availability and consistency of data also remains a concern for us. improvement in that area but additional improvements as we have discussed are clearly needed. in the realm of prevention and training, prevention if we accept it as a top priority, in addition to providing support for victim advocates and being key to combatting sexual assault, we would say that the group needs to establish a strategy. that is not clear. it was not clear during our review. we understand they have since developed a prevention strategy. the implementation will be cue to the sexual assault prevention program. in addition, that overarching tr strategy will allow greater consistency in the services and drive them into having uniform terms and conditions, positions and approaches for addressing this particular issue. this is a very clear area where the services have made tremendous strides. he would argue that the overarching strategy entails much more. it encompass as sesment of a community's environment in terms of safety, facility, location, issues that we saw in the aor

. >> ball mark the data, freelance journalist. ambassador, two of the main of five coalitions of prime minister maliki's have expressed interest in transitioning from consensus-based national unity type of government to a majority the type of election after election. you think the composition of these two coalitions, but that more than one sects represented within them would make that a feasible option? do you think that iraq is ready for this kind of transition? thank you. >> you know, this issue comes up a lot. it is in the public debate in iraq, that should you have a system where everybody gets something or should you have a system where winners get something and losers don't. i know that the frustrations are that when you have a system where everybody gets something, there's a concern that somehow some of these ministries don't work or they are not loyal enough to the head of the government, and therefore, it's not a good system. you know, i just think this is an example of something where, you know, the iraqi's are going to h

several slices of the data already have turned positive. f moving from job destruction to net job creation. >> you know, i thought that was an interesting aspect of this report was, you know, month after month, this has been uniformly bad every breakdown. but this time around, for example, when we look at job growth by business size, what we find is that they lost jobs again in the small businesses. but it was media that actually gained jobs. 9,000 and large minus 19,000. what's that trend telling you, joel? >> well, when you get close to an inflection point in the total number, you're going to have some crossroads in the details. and that's what you're starting to see. as you mentioned, medium-sized payroll starting to expand. service sector jobs expanding for the second month in a row. the loss of manufacturing, yes, a loss, but the smallest one in a year and a half. things, i think, are clearly now moving over the borderline towards positive territory. >> you know, i was fascinated by that part of the survey as well which showed manufactu

earliest stones were like these you see your, which have the name of the company, the state and the data burial, and inside the shield. later the design does have a fight just to include the name of the person, the date of birth and the data burial. that's the modern tombstone you see in other sections of the cemetery today. the first military burial here, william christman, was typical in that like many soldiers who died in the civil war on both sides, he wasn't killed by a bullet or a cannonball. he was killed by a disease. most of the people who died in the civil war died from infections, dysentery, yellow fever, measles, mumps. than died from battle once. and most of the people you see in this section of the cemetery are in that category. william christman was buried in may 1864. arlington cemetery was not established until the month year, june 1864. and was officially designated and national cemetery, and it began to fill up very, very quickly. this part of the cemetery we're in, section 27, was called the lower cemetery. as you can see, it is at the edge of arlington. there is a ro

i mean, you know, the chair, i think, is really committed to having the fcc as much as possible be a data-driven, long-range-focused agency. there's really big issues out there, and let's make sure we're thinking about all the important issues that are going to be confronting us not only in the next six months, but in the next six years and, you know, the next 15 years. so, yeah, part of my job is, honestly, trying to think about are there things on the agenda that shouldn't be on the agenda? one of the dangers, as i know you both know, in d.c. is it's really easy to have sort of a group think that emerges, and everybody starts thinking in the same patterns. part of my job is to disrupt that, right? to make sure we don't all get so focused on one narrow issue that we lose sight of a lot of other important considerations of ideas. >> host: have you talked about how long term a job this is? coming from the act dame ya positions in washington, d.c., it tends to be a year maybe and pack out to the university. >> guest: right. there's no specific time horizon on this. >> host: and, well, stuar

we see the data support a higher index than other families where they are absolutely taken and then the and you have bad actors and there is no real regulation, no real accountability when we see the bad actors at play in these communities and so as a result there is legislation moving through the congress now that i think is going to try to target many of those bad actors and provide again more opportunity for education for vulnerable families so that they can use the education as a tool to arm themselves and be educated when they engage lenders were too small loans. that's very important because we find many of our families get into trouble when they are not fully educated informed and not looking into the background of these lenders. we still find when you don't read the fine print and the convoluted and complicated and people are easily taken advantage of. there's no reason for that. we should have homeownership counseling programs in every community so that we are harming our folks in the best possible way to make the best possible loans and savings and investments for their famili

the spoof is michael mann of penn state university who is accused of tampering with climate data to uce his famous hockey stick graph, which shows that the rise in manmade greenhouse gases corresponds to a rise in worldwide temperatures. an academic board cleared mann saying his science holtz up but the damage may be already done. ♪ hide the decline ♪. >> reporter: the biggest splash these days in the global warming argument may not be caused by the world's melting glackiers. it may be caused by a series of gaffes by climate change scientists. the latest one involves temperature data from weather stations in china used in global warming calculations. the problem is that where weather stations are matters. one located in the city will give a consistently higher temperature reading than one out in the country. the allegation is that the researchers used chinese data when they didn't really know where their weather stations were. it's just a small part, they say, of a worldwide database, but it's the little mistakes that matter. mistakes like the line in the last report by the u.n. pane

much of the request for data is several years old. ta for more recent fiscal years. if not, what plans do you have to enhance your tracking process? would you leverage the capability of task to achieve better visibility into conference spending? >> the accountability is better now because we have one central person. it is still a manual system. we're looking at task to be part of the solution for automated financial controls. additionally, we're moving to a standard classification system to financial. what mr. mann said doesn't happen where things are accounted for in different ways and different components. >> thank you. next question. again for you madame secretary, portions of the secretaries efficiency review initiative focused on spending related to travel and conferences. you touched on some of the outcomes in your testimony. could you elaborate on the findings of outcomes of the initiative and does the conference data provided to the inspector general's office for requested trips and side visits. >> no, the i.g. report was just

president, about the accuracy of the data used in the united nations reports. the actions by scientists and others to suppress data that contradicts their conclusions is misleading, unethical, and unacceptable. their conduct needs to be investigated. senator inhofe and i have written to the u.n. secretary moon to have the u.n. conduct an investigation into the original climategate revelations. that request has not been acted upon. revelations of ongoing scientific relations is disturbing, concrete action by world leaders is needed. the integrity of the data and the integrity of the science has been compromised. today i call for government delegations of the u.n.'s general assembly and the u.n. secretary moon to pressure r.k. pechari to step down on the united nations intergovernmental panel on climate change. it is time to conduct an independent investigation into the conduct of this climate panel. mr. president, dr. pechari should be removed from any involvement with the investigation. recent reports over the weekend raise questions about whether or not dr. pe

while you're on your way, the system transmits the data to a service center, which calculates your energy requirements. afteyou pull in to park, you then plug in to charge up. one end of the car, the other end into one of these charge spots. within two years, the people at better place say they're going to have several hundred thousand of these installed in israel through a test basis. it's here where they say the real revolution begins. depending how long you remain parked and how many other cars are charging, they plan to keep your car sufficiently charged. it will update you on the charge status via text messages. most chargingwill occur at night when people are parked at home and the electricity is plentiful. if that's the case, a writer on energy at forbes magazine, who needs better places for costly infrastructure. >> ipeople can recharge at home, you might not need a better place. most people don't go more than 20 miles in a given day. they don't need a vast network of charging stations. >> reporter: but what happens when you want to take a trip beyond battery range and don't have

topper continues to get all the data for us. he is out on the weather terrace. >> i'm shoveling right now, but i shoveled and covered up again. we are looking at blizzard conditions until 10:00 in the district. we'll take you out with live doppler and this is incredible. we are seeing bands move from north to south. they move across the river. it's now snowing again in parts of loudoun county and fairfax county. when will it stop? when it stops. we'll be right back. >>> we are back now and topper, you said the snow will stop when it stops. >> pretty much. and i knocked a big icicle off the light up there. please be careful. >> for your troubles. >> yes, there you go. let's start with live doppler. you wear it well. brett and i were talking. it is against nature and counterintuitive and cats are dogs are sleeping together. the storm is exploding off the coast. it is essentially a winter hurricane. yes, we've been talking about this all day. the bands of snow would indeed move back from northeast to southwest and they are. but the
