Think that we would be a lot more successful by now and for us they are doing it at the local level using the county stakeholders and we are very fortunate that we have the counties support to allow us to tap into these different resources but we have to replicate that acceptability in every county and in every city if it doesnt come topdown. Typically at the end of the four runs people leave more depressed than when they came. At times we have been accused of designing before in the floor in the program to make people more worried.

Attack shortly before the fbi acknowledged the countrys involvement. Just a short announcement. Secretary hagel authorized 1300 more troops to deploy to iraq. Approximately a thousand of them are soldiers from the Thur Burr Gade combat team 8nd air division based in fort brag in north carolina. This is part of the additional 1500 troops the president authorized in november. With that i will take questions. You said 1300 but only a thousand listed. Do you know where they are coming from . The others . They are coming from multiple Services Like Counter Intelligence it is multi service. We talked about this before where a good chunk of the troops including would be to close included in the enabling capabilities. I dont have all of the units but i can get that if you need it.

They are partners in the Moffett Nathanson research firm. Mr. Moffett, lets begin with you.

Whats the impact on the Overall Television industry . Guest well, those are two separate categories really. The new ones, hbo and cbs, my guess is the impact will be actually somewhat limited. On the other hand, the impact of some of the ones that are already here like netflix has already been very profound. And i think what were seeing here is a real change in the viewing habits of millennials, that theyre simply watching tv in a very different way than my generation watched tv, and youre starting to see all the Media Companies embrace that and recognize that they cant sort of circle the wagons and just try to protect the existing ecosystem anymore, they have to actually reach out to that set of consumers.

Explain to me how somehow these costs, particularly medical costs, because so many of the inversions thus far are medical, explain to me how or even if because youve done some scholarship on this, dr.
