Service. Some of it is benign. We call things, put a metadata label on things like the amount of storage you are using in your online storage or the average file size. But even that has implications and we embraced the idea of transparency and consent, and all of that data. As you go up the scale with may be content being the end, the most private, the stuff that people have the highest expectation of privacy around. But other things about new york communicating with our right up against content. In terms of what that can reveal about peoples relationships, associations, thoughts, beliefs, et cetera. Theres very important privacy locations around the. You mentioned transborder issues and the fact that people around the world recognize privacy as an interest, in many cases a human rights. Whered we stand, what are you aware of or what do you know about, is there any progress being made multilaterally or bilaterally or in terms of developing standards for transporter surveillance, transb
Ebola is scary because of its case phi at that time rate which is generally in the 50 to 70 range. We think with meticulous Clinical Care we should be able to get that down substantially addressing hydration and fluid management. Its still a very deadly disease. Compare that with sars which is 10 or mrsa, or the pen democrat democratic. That doesnt mean it has anything like the epidemic potential of influenza because one of the fundamental facts about ebola is that from everything we have seen, it only spreads from someone who is ill and only spreads from direct contact with body fluids of someone who is ill or someone who has died. So the spread has been primarily by these two routes, unsafe care giving, whether in the home or in health care facilities. In africa, unsafe burials, where burial practices may promote the widespread transmission of disease. The bottom line with ebola is despite recent progress, the epidemic remains severe, Poor Public Health interventions can stop it and
Of the individual from where they are to a hospital ready and waiting for them. They were cared for safely in that system. Yesterday, we notified people that starting today, we will be doing that same kind of active monitoring for everyone who arrives in mali. Not because we believe there is widespread transmission but because there are so many contacts there and we are not yet confident that they are all being identified and monitored daily. If one comes here, we dont want to take the risk that they may become ill and the Health Care System would not be aware of it. We dont know that we have the perfect response but like everything in Public Health, everything for clinical medicine, everything in science, we use data to continuously improve practices. That is the approach we will take. We work with the Health Care System to strengthen control. They have visited three dozen hospitals all over the country and a dozen states to assess the ready. They provided the tests for ebola. Usually
Every one of those cases needs that kind of response that i described. Going to be incredibly difficult. A reminder that cases are still growing. Despite some progress, there was more cases in west africa in october than there were in september and though the numbers decreased in liberia, we believe, there are so many cases that we are not able to do the kind of outbreak control as needed and so many communities that have not yet had cases that need intensive control measures. In october, west africa had more all of the than in recorded ebola outbreaks over the last 40 years. We have a long way to go but we do have proof of principle and we do have tremendous commitment from societies. My team was describing how many communities themselves were taking action among they identified buildings or schools to isolate and care for people with ebola. They tracked the contacts so they would be rapidly isolated and would not further spread disease. This is outdated because it is from yesterday.
Private quarters for the president and first lady. This is not part of the tour that is offered to the public. This is never been open to the public. Because of the cspan special access, you are getting to see this. Its not open to our visitors on a daily basis.

It nothing in this room it can change. We are here on the 100th block of congress avenue here in austin. It this is an important historic site. This is where waterloo was. It was a cluster of cabins. Im standing at the spot where the cabin was. This is where the mayor was staying when he and the rest of the men got wind of this buffalo herd. The men jumped on their horses. In those days this was just a muddy ravine that led north. The men galloped on their horses and they had stuffed their belts for pistols and road into the midst of t
