America hosted the event late last month. Its just over twoandahalf hours. All right, so, before we have dr. Baligh yehia come up and give what will be great keynote remarks, i want to start the morning off with having a conversation with you about something thats near and dear to me as one of those who represent a Success Story of a great specialized care system, spinal cord injury and disease system of care. Before i get into exactly what the topic is, though, i want to ask a couple questions. What are some of the reasons why one becomes a clinician . Why did you choose to become a healer . Money . Raise your hand if its money. Bunch of millionaires in here, right . Social status. Everybody respects a doctor. Job security. Youre always going to have people focused on getting better, so you need people in those industries. And if youre a healer, youve got some job security if you do it well enough, and its probably a combination of all of those. But again, from the perspective of the
To me as one of those who represent a Success Story of a great specialized care system, spinal cord injury and disease system of care. Before i get into exactly what the topic is, though, i want to ask a couple questions. What are some of the reasons why one becomes a clinician . Why did you choose to become a healer . Money . Raise your hand if its money. Bunch of millionaires in here, right . Social status. Everybody respects a doctor. Job security. Youre always going to have people focused on getting better, so you need people in those industries. And if youre a healer, youve got some job security if you do it well enough, and its probably a combination of all of those. But again, from the perspective of the patient, im willing to bet that somewhere on that list of what brought you into your respective discipline was a sense of compassion. What is compassion . Its a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune. Who are we talking about . People who h
This hearing on the Judiciary Committee subcommittee on privacy, technology, and the law will come to order. We are here to address Cyber Security concerns in the data broker industry. This is not the first time our subcommittee has gathered to do so, after several Security Breach last august we held a hearing to ask the question of how secure is consumers data in the hands of data brokers . The answer, not very secure. Industrybroker immediately responded by committing to take seriously Security Issues and pledging to dedicate resources to Data Protection measures. Yet here we are two years later in the wake of what we now know is the largest breach ever of private consumer data. We are trying to figure out how it happened once again. It happened because data brokers have created an industrywide culture that appears not to prioritize the security of consumers information. Traditional data brokers, those who make a profit from buying and selling data to other companies, have very littl

Thinking like a terrorist, insights into a former fbi under cover agent. Because of his undercover work, mr. Elnourys identity is hidden behind a screen and his voice has been altered. Hi, my name is a mike german, a fellow for the former fbi agent and today my great pleasure to talk to tamer elnoury about his new book, american radical, inside the world of a undercover muslim fbi agent. Tamer, i want to start by having you explain why it is that you have to speak from behind a screen. Well, thanks for having me, mike. The reason obviously is because of the fact that i am still an active covert operative for the Fbi Joint Terrorism Task force. My identity, even if i wasnt still active, is sensitive and should never be revealed obviously. Okay, great. And i think that is what makes your book so unusual.
