Alternatives that are there. Senator crapo. The private sector markets are contracting. Im concerned that this reduces student bar options. Could you describe the current state of the private student loan market and how that compares to the market and made a claim why we are seeing this dynamic . Thank you very much for the question.

And what you can see, construction, the general economy, they look pretty much the same on this story. The idea that you have to focus on retraining, retraining is important, dont get me
We want to introduce to you Robert Oharrow who is an investigator reporter at the Washington Post and has been writing an occasional series on cybersecurity threats for that newspaper.

Guest a zero day is the name that hackers give to a gap or vulnerability in the software that lets a bad guy into computer system. These gaps take a lot of forms.
