Working on is having staged all the power and everything is the restoration of services. Right now statewide, 85 of customers have power. And main outages are, of course, in lee and charlotte counties had the most as well as hardy but then you also have about half out in collier. You have about half out in sarasota. And then it really gets better in many other parts of the state until you get seminole is about a third out or 40 out. Volusia is about 50 out. Flagler is about 40 to 50 out. Then it gets much better as you get to st. Johns and jacksonville and nassau county. Theres over 42,000 folks staged. They went in immediately. They went in immediately to try to minimize those disruptions and, really, theyre adding more customers back online every hour. I think its probably what would you say, about 100,000 every hour or two . So we feel we feel good about most of that. I would say the biggest challenge of power restoration will be in those areas that bore the brunt of the category 4p
Case of the ffm, or the Actual Exchange itself, each component was tested by us independently come a verified, security tested, and it was not signed off in a complete package, so we signed a shortterm authorization to operate, which would be customary if you were continuing to do work on the project. You also mention this information that goes in there is just pinged in there and not stored. How do you identify the person later if there is not any of that information kept . The Social Security number is not stored in the data hub. When you have completed an application, it has this information, and an individual can store that online. That is part of the proofing that an individual can do to store their application. We also have some storage in what i will call the enrollment eligibility in case there is an appeal. What i was trying to say theres no data stored in the hub. We have information on record. I do not think people are cared where it is stored. They care about their privacy.
More than one faith. This case is about christians aggressively imposing themselves on their fellow citizens with the power of government. That is not right. It is not part of the american tradition. Can we get the plaintiffs . Susan galloway. I am susan galloway. I am one of the plaintiffs. I just want to thank americans united for being our attorneys and representing us. I appreciate the justices hearing this case. I think it is important. I feel the town has aligned itself with christianity by just having christian prayer givers. They have had a couple other people but primarily it is christian. That is very sectarian. As a citizen i felt i was different. And because of my own faith and my own religious beliefs. Im glad that the Supreme Court is hearing this. Is there anything what are your religious beliefs . I am a jew. Why did it make you feel uncomfortable . I think that when you have people that, first of all, the town, the pastors face the people, not to the government. It is

Sandy was a devastating storm. Many lives were lost as a result of the storm bond seven in my state of maryland. Eight billion people on the east coast of the United States at some time were without power at the results of sandy. Maryland fare much better than our surrounding states. We sent a lot of our resources to help our friends in new york and new jersey and other s
Pointing the finger in a different direction, this questioner asks how protection can be advanced while investors themselves continually ask for high risk high return investments . I am not speaking as i dont think it is our job to tell people what risks they take and what risks they dont take. The financial industry as a whole must participate in the efforts of the government and regulators to make sure that systemic risks are muted to the fullest extent possible. Individuals in our society invest. When they invest, they take risk. If somebody wants to invest in a more risky way to get a higher return, that is their right. If they want to invest in a more conservative way to protect their resources and not have any downside, that is their right to o. That is an individual choice. Back to regulations, can you give us some specifics of regulations that you think have gone too far and what are you looking to change precisely .
