New sources of revenue. I think theyre attacking both of those things, but to focus on the revenue side. I think, one, looking for new ways to delight and hold consumers. So if you look at comcast and its investment in the x1 platform, if you can make video on demand more attractive, easier to use, the interfaces more weblike and more delightful, number one, dont lose what you have, right . Innovate, keep what you have. You also see them taking advantage of broadband, right . That is a blessed source of new Business Opportunity for our industry. It is growing much faster.

Great necessity for global Food Security given out more than 3 billion people, 50 of the people on this planet at every corner of the world depend on fish as a significant source of protein. The connection between a healthy ocean and life itself for every Single Person on earth cannot be overstated. And we will hear from scientists and we will talk about that relationship in the course of the next hours and days. Share nothing so completely as the ocean that covers nearly three quarters of our planet. And i remember the first time i really grasped that notion. It was in the early 1970s when the first color pictures of earth from space were released, the famous blue marble photographs. And when you look at those images, you dont see borders or markers separating one nation from another. You just see big masses of green and sometimes brown surrounded by blue. For me, that image shaped the realization that what has become cliched and perhaps even taken for granted not perhaps, is taken fo
Satellite provider. And michael pollen, welcome back to the the communicators. Before we start with the issues, lets start with the Washington Post article from this weekend.

I think the issue that will come out is rand paul has a base that he picked up from his father and it was heavily subscribed to by younger people at universities and colleges and it was reminiscent of how Barry Goldwater was so well received received when the Young Americans for freedom was created in the 1960s and help propel him through 1964. Younger people are far more idealistic. They do not have the patience for the current Republican Party. When you finally hit social security, you can be chairman of the party. Ron paul did this as a congressman and his son is doing it. This is what helped to propel goldwater, who was a minority view in the Republican Party, so the minority view captured the party and became the majority. That is the plan that has to be looked at.
