Terry, would you please stand up . [applause] tonights speaker, claire l. Evans, has achieved notable success in two disparate fields, both as a musician and as a writer. In the former career, she is the lead singer and cofounder of the conceptual pop group yacht, and has recently returned from a tour in europe with that group. But it is her second career as an expert in the area of technology that brings her to us tonight.

To comment on the valley of 215. But if confirmed i certainly intend to be able to do so. I believe one of the most important functions of the director of the National Security agency is to be able to articulate just that. What is the value of our effort so that we could make well informed and smart decisions. Do you have an opinion as to whether, yeah, and opinion, as to whether or not there has been an instance involving a threat to the United States in which the 215 program made a concrete difference . Do you have an opinion going in on that subject . Nothing specific. Ive not had a chance to sit down and red review the events. If my memory is correct, general alexander outlined a number of instances in which he thought 215 generated value. All right. And this is also for you, admiral or do you think the department of defense is doing enough to provide capabilities for our defense of cyber units by exploiting commercial technology .

And a lot of lot of hollering and things like that going on. The incident so jarring, passengers say one woman hit the ceiling so hard it cracked the panel over her head. Severe turbulence rattled everyone on board the flight from denver to billings, montana. Five passengers were rushed to local hospitals. One remains in intensive care, the others were treated and release. One passenger says the turbulence appeared to have even taken the flight crew by surprise. I think they were trying to assess things themselves. They didnt offer any explanation because of what happened so quickly. If youve been through turbulence, you know what that is like. One passenger says that a woman called out for her baby which he took to indicate she had lost control of her infant. No warning at all. Thank you very much. So the big story of course is the weather. The winter that feels like it may never end is bringing another round of weather. This is look at the live snow coming down in new jersey. It has

Phil black is joining us from kiev right now. Phil is on the phone. What is the latest . Because these pictures have been so dramatic all day. It reminds me of Tahrir Square in cairo. Reporter it certainly has a revolutionary feel to it. Im standing across from the fires and that live feed and im surrounded by thousands of people. The forces tried to force their way through here earlier this evening. They broke through some of their lines and barricades. And now they are rebuilding those barricades. They have lit those bonfires to create really burning embers across roads. Its part of an attempt to keep back the Security Forces. Certainly the language coming from the Ukrainian Government clearly blames them for the violence that are taking place on the streets of kiev. The people surrounding me refute tha
