Agents. With reduction of overall numbers. Do you anticipate a need to reexamine and restructure how the Border Patrolmans bases and Forward Operating bases . I share very much the concern we discussed on this hiring issue. For the Border Patrol to be in a downward spiral, which means were not able to hire as fast as attrition is very concerning. I have talked with your staff also about the number of programs that we put in place, particularly to speed up the process. So in these new hiring hubs we can get people through in 160 days until at times, well over a year. That is important. The close cooperation with the department of defense as people leave the department of defense and the active duty military to be able to hire them into the Border Patrol or into customs and Border Protection is particularly important. Working with congress for additional pay for very difficult locations where they work, hardship reimbursement would be particularly helpful. Along with things that weve dis
The female celebrity accounts that were hacked. From the cloud, from icloud and c nbc had a report that china likely attacked icloud accounts and then in 2015, last year, apple had to release a patch in response to concerns that there had been brute force attacks on icloud accounts. So im anticipating, well see, that apple will take further steps to encrypt and protect not only its operating system that it has today, but also, the protection as well as the icloud accounts. And ill just close with this. I have on my iphone all kinds of messaging apps. That are fully encrypted. Some better than others. Some were designed in the United States. A bunch of them were designed in other countries. And im not i wouldnt do anything wrong on my iphone but if i were a terrorist, i could use any one of those apps and communicate securely and there wouldnt be anything that the u. S. Government, not the fbi, not the congress or the president , could do to prevent that from occurring so i see this as,

Countries like honduras or others that have two times the murder rate of mexico but mexico does have a high murder rate. I think its about four time, over four times the american rate. Five times four times the american rate. I wonder if some of you could the differences in some cities compared to other cities and whether you think it is right now particularly dangerous in these cities with the higher the differences in rates themselves. Sir, i think the embassy in mexico city and the different types of agencies that are represented there mr. Starr and the different mr. Starr and the different agencies represented there have different types of violence. That fuels a lot of murder rates. As we said earlier, 25 million americans visit mexico every single year. Very few of those people have any type of problem there. You know, tourism is a very big dizz. Is a very big business. Were acutely aware of certain places where the drug cartels, one is trying to take over another, or theres a spl
Theres no barrier. A physician can do this but theres increasing work to make it happen. The natural path of least resistance is to prescribe the preferred drug. These are levers.

As a physician, however, and as a patient one needs needs to remember thethat can be at times and opposition between reason and rationality. One thinks of the movie dr. Strangelove, for example, where dr. Strangelove who at the end of the movie as you know led by peter sellers, as eloquently rational madman who is leading the world of destruction, arrived by set of incredibly rational steps through economic game theory. So this idea that one can create a rational system which at times can produce unreasonable results i think is a dilemma that exist at the heart of modern med
