With the same name and come from the same place and follow them from slavery, civil war, reconstruction, jim crowe and up until today and compare and contrast. Chris tomlinson on his family slaveowning history and how the legacy of slavery still affects american society. He talked to the brother of former nfl running back about the familys former lineage from the hill. Now a conversation on the ongoing violence in iraq and the threat and influence of the group known as isis. We will hear from the state department advisor. The Atlantic Council hosted his 90minute event. Welcome to the Atlantic Council i am the direct of the center here. I am happy to welcome you to a converation on the state of play in syria, iraq and the broader region and whether the threat of isis or whatever i should call it today could forge a coalition among states in ways that rarely see eyetoeye and we want to push this dimension of the overall question. I am particularly pleased to welcome ambassador lukman fai
Philosophically, but i trend back toward the chairman here, there are a lot of practical issues that could turn this into a free fire zone which is not beneficial to anyone. When you are shooting, they may not shoot back to you. That is the problem. And i am not necessarily opposed to offense the government has a very good offensive capability. We have not decided as a country how to use it or has a government policy body, no one has decided to use it, so we do not. The problem you are asking a corporation where you will get these mixed capabilities, and i cannot tell you how many cios i have met who say this is not a problem. You are going to have somebody come in and say i can figure this out. I have never seen such confidence as i have people in cyberspace. Somebody is going to misfire and it will not be that particular company that pays the price. It will be a swath of people who pay the price.

You forgot to add that i decided to take four days off and i spent three of it on a beach dealing with this issue, so no one is angrier about it than me and my wife. This marks a significant change. We have seen Cyber Attacks before, clearly. We have seen denial of service attacks before. We have never seen a nationstate use its capability albeit somewhat limited in a way that actually destroy data. So, they went in to a company, and not only did they play the fun and games part, cause embarrassing pr problems, all of which was significant. It also destroyed data. They destroyed intellectual p
In part, the food and medical products that American Consumers and patients use in their daily lives. Nearly 40 of finish drugs americans consume today are made elsewhere, and 80 of the active pharmaceuticals in those drugs are manufactured outside our borders. For the food supply, the numbers are equally startling. More than 85 of seafood that is eaten here comes from other countries. About 50 of our fresh food and 20 of our fresh vegetables, and these changing dynamics obviously introduce new complexities, new risks for American Consumers, as these products follow increasingly complex Global Supply chains to get to your table. And your kitchen cupboard. We can no longer rely on simple inspections at the border to track the products that are coming through. The volume has quadrupled over the last decade. We have introduced new hightech riskbased screening systems of the borders to allow us to target on the most vulnerable commodities, the ones with the highest risk. We really have to
Earnings before the bell. Happy st. Patricks day. Some welsh. Green beer later on this hour. I am a quarter irish. Here is a headline. Inflation and little but lower than expected. Sir. 7 0. 7 .
