Georgia. This is the radar signature spiral bands of rain and rain i got to tell you 19 inches of rain at baskin florida. Serious flooding going on down there. Maximum sustained winds were 70 Miles Per Hour. I am sure they dropped down since this statement was issued at 5. And anyway the storm is moving to the north northeast at 14 miles an hour. So its going to take a track about like this along coast and then out here over the necessarily as a Tropical Storm. Its going to be subTropical Storm characteristics may turn it into a perhaps a Tropical Storm again whatever its going to be a lot of wind spinning around and around and rotating for days and days. What does that mean for us . Some of that wind and rain will pivot up into new england and most likely on labor day. Some of the winds will start increasing on sunday. So we are going to have some periods of rain in southern new england. Hardly anything up north. Rough as well. These are the temperatures now which are mostly in the up
Today. Sparking worries in the broader markets. Some questions whether this is an Early Warning sign of a broader sell off. The nasdaq is coming off its biggest one day losses in nearly a year. The index is on pace for the worst week since october. In the meantime the dow and s p are down 2 in the last three days. As we talk about a sell off lets talk about the hideous elixir. A witchs brew. Or a famous miles davis album. What was that 300 point advance we saw last week after yelen took out patience . How much fundamentals were underneath that move higher . How real was that move higher and what inspired it . What about the recent economic numbers. People are still talking about 3 year in gdp but they seem committed to increased rates so were in an environment where the fed is for all intents and purposes tightening and then i have been making the point you put apple in the dow and youre asking for it. Youre trying to top the market out. Lets look at a six month chart of apple now. Num
In the technology area, we already witnessed a different kind of thinking. Right now we still enjoy leadership and we still enjoy standard leadership. So were able to apply some of our influence. Over time come as you know, especially in the area of Technology Evolves very quickly. By not being there, we will very quickly lose our ability to impact. Once it is harmonized based on the United States standards, for example, all the businesses will suffer because that means we potentially have to create different that the products, different sets of services. That will ever stamp act our ability to expand commerce. Thank you are a match. Too many of the other panelists want to comment on that . Yes. I know john lancaster, we are colleagues together on the United States institute of peace. I dont mean to put words into his mouth, but it is their laments to it the United States can expect to do in terms of influence in other countries. You dont have to be exactly what we would like you to be
Contributions to the Intelligence Community analysis over the years, but i do have concns about whether i do have concerns if it is doing enough independent analysis, especially with terrorist attacks on u. S. Facilities overseas. I hope that he will be at the forefront of intelligence issues that concern the policymakers on matters involved in the state department. We have many embassies and missions and consulates that frankly, as we have found, they are no doubt unsecured. And i know that that is not directly under you in this position, but its an issue that we are looking at with your experience. And ca has worked with covert action that is vital to National Security and it carries risks, especially with the leaks of classified information.

Freedom and no structure has been put in place to comply. Or is it that there is simplicity by looking the other way rather than just on structural things . I would be interested to hear the panels view on as. Thank you very much. Lets start with that. Okay. I do think the kuwaiti government is aware that this is going on. They may not know the extent of it and i dont know how deeply. But they certainly know that its going on. And i can say that with near certainty. So i will give you an example of one of the ways that it has been difficult for kuwait to do anything about it. One complication is that a lot of the people involved are part of this in one particular individual that you actually mentioned is a former parliamentarian.
