Have grown through mergers and acquisitions and that have acquired companies and later find out after they have connected all their networks and systems, that that company that they acquired did not have good cyber hygiene and was riddled with problems that have now infected the entire network. Lawyers need to help with that. Auditors need to help with that. Venture capitalists. Were out talking to venture capitalists to say if youre investing in a company, youre investing in large part in that intellectual property, and if you havent done the Due Diligence to assure yourself that they have good cyber hygiene and have taken appropriate care to protect that information, you are throwing your money down a rat hole because that intellectual property is going out the back door. Attorneys in this room and your colleagues work with these folks on a daily basis. I need your help in spreading the word. The more secure any one of us becomes, the more secure all of us are. This is a this is a jo

Around Orange County and the inland empire, but in l. A. Itself, do you have a goal of what you think is reasonable to sign up over the next year or so . Im striving for 220,000. You are. If that takes us a series of years, so be it, but were putting rhettthe resources behind this. It pays us back many times over. It makes business sense first and foremost but it also makes ethical sense. You alluded to this before but cities may intervene on the other side . Were looking to have a lot of other cities who stepped up saying they want to be a part of it, too. We dont have, quote unquote, local government or the federal part of the government saying were against this because if just a few voices decided to challenge, we think we can get a coalition of cities much larger and that is an important counterbalance for any court. They may win this first round judging by what ive heard from the court its in but it will be appealed, of course. As its being appealed, its very important for america
Is that agricultural employers dont like it very much. Because it includes theyre required to pay temporary workers more than they would have to pay u. S. Workers because its designed to protect u. S. Workers. And so agricultural employers have found it cumbersome and inconvenient to use. And because we dont really enforce employer sanction laws theyve gone around it and hired a lot of unauthorized workers instead. The h2b visa is for lowskilled nonagriculture workers in temporary jobs. The reason i dont consider it a fix and employers are willing to use that because it offers less protections than h2a to workers. The reason its a limited fix is that its only limited to seasonal jobs. So if you want to hire a worker to work in your restaurant or your factory or, you know your Service Sector job as a janitor, none of those jobs are covered. It has to be a job that is timelimited and its limited to 65,000 visas a year. So it only covers it basically covers people in truly Seasonal Work l
President sarcoys of france. Chancellor merkel of germany and president calderone of mexico. It was initiated by congress but agreed to by all four leaders. So it is out of the ordinary that the speaker would decide that he would be inviting people to a joint session without any bipartisan consultation. And of course, we always our friendship with israel is a very strong one. Prime minister netanyahu has spoken to the joint session two times already. There are concerns about the fact that as i understand it from this morning, this presentation will take place within two weeks of the election in israel. I dont think that is appropriate for any country that the head of state would come here within two weeks of his own election in his own country. The more serious part of your question is about the sanctions. Yes, the president was correct in his presentation on the strength in which he presented his appeal to congress that we not have sanctions at this time. Putting it in perspective, th
