(Jan. 19, 2011)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History will present an exhibit of the work of the late Steve Reynolds from Jan. 19 to Feb. 23 in the UTSA Art Gallery on the Main Campus. The exhibit, "Steve Reynolds: Serial Investigations in Sculpture," is an examination of the remarkable career of Steve Reynolds (1940-2007), an internationally admired artist especially well known for his tour-de-force explorations in sculpture and ceramics. The exhibit in the Arts Building gallery is free and open to the public.
An opening reception will be 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 19 in the UTSA Art Gallery on the Main Campus. During the reception, free parking will be available in lot 13.
The exhibition presents examples from works produced in studios around the world and includes examples of the many private works, never before exhibited, that Reynolds made for his beloved wife, Daphne, when traveling to lecture and attend residencies, inspiring others in their creative endeavors.
In his 40-year career, Reynolds worked intuitively but also serially, methodically and systematically. He kept the strong belief that clay is a powerful artistic tool, but by no means the only one to be employed in the service of art. The many series range from large-scale wall pieces composed of figurative and abstract elements and sculptural totems to smaller sculptures that extend traditional vessel forms into fascinating explorations of ceramic materials, pigments, shapes, and textures. Sensitive clay gestures become delicate birds, energetic figures and wonderfully odd objects that are simply creative forms in their own right.
Curated over two years by the artist Catherine Lee during breaks from her own international schedule, the exhibition offers viewers a rare opportunity to examine how artists create individual works of art while thinking in broader terms of design elements within a series.
Reynolds was a UTSA professor of art for 28 years. He served on the board of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts for 8 years and was president in 2001-2002. His commitment to national and international art communities was profound. A full-color catalogue accompanies the exhibition.
UTSA Art Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Friday, 1-4 p.m., Saturday-Sunday, and by appointment.
For more information, contact Laura Crist at 210-458-4391.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

Yuck! Awful food and service
AMAZING comfort food, love the view as well
Yummmmmy toast can't wait to try the waffles
One of my favorite stores in ballard local art rocks
Nachos are Delish. Butternut quesadilla is a must try
Food is decent, service is HEINOUS, I don't know if it's just the female server that I have had multiple times, but she's beyond miserable and shouldn't be in this industry. Sadly not going to be back
Not too fond of the service here... It's just eggs
Holy Shitballs. BBQ chicken pizza taste like Baby angel kisses.
Off the chain amazing! Had pulled pork, with markers mark BBQ sauce, does it get better than that??
Dear this Walgreens, I hate you. You are incapable of checking out customers at a pace that anyone would want. I don't want to wait for you to finish your conversations and chit chat at the counters.
Amazing cupcakes, amazing cause, amazing people
Love this place, perfect for how picky I am.
Love the bagels but it seems like the people the work the drive thru are either headless or they care more about the people inside

Alternative Investments - Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are investment companies that are technically classified as open-end companies (although they are not considered to be or allowed to call themselves mutual funds). These are index funds that mirror the composition of standard indexes such as the NASDAQ 100 or the Russell 2000; it may also include broad market, sectors, single countries or regions as well as fixed income. They allow investors to buy or sell exposure to an index through a single financial instrument. They are like traditional funds in that they are a pool of money to be invested, however, unlike traditional funds, ETFs can be sold short or margined in the investor's account. ETFs also differ from traditional open-end companies because ETF shares trade on a secondary market (as do closed-end funds) and are only redeemable in very large blocks (50,000 shares for example).
Relatively new and somewhat less intuitive than other investment companies, ETFs are actually certificates that grant ownership over part of a basket of individual stocks. ETFs trade at prices that closely match their underlying assets and unwind when investors no longer want them. Fund Managers are vital to the process: they must develop a plan for operating the ETF and have the plan approved by the SEC. The ETF plan must explain the ETF's composition, identify other firms involved in the fund and describe how the fund will operate and how redemption will occur.
ETF Managers
The fund manager instructs pension funds, which control huge securities portfolios, to loan the stocks necessary for creating the ETF index of stocks. (The pension funds get a small amount of interest in return.) Today, the role of ETF manager is usually left to the very largest institutional money management firms with experience in indexing. The fund manager takes a small portion of the fund's annual assets as their fee. An authorized participant, also referred to as a market maker or specialist, assembles the appropriate basket of stocks and sends them to a custodial bank. The custodial bank is responsible for ensuring that the basket does, in fact, mirror the requested ETF. It forwards the ETF shares on to the authorized participant. The custodial bank holds the basket of stocks in the fund's account for the fund manager to monitor.
The Depository Trust Clearing Corp., the same
Once the authorized participant obtains the ETF from the custodial bank, it is free to sell it in the open market. From then on, ETF shares are sold and resold freely among investors on the open market. The authorized participant derives a profit from the difference in price between the basket of stocks and the ETF and on part of the bid-ask spread of the ETF itself.
Redeeming ETFs
To effect a redemption, an authorized participant buys a large block of ETFs on the open market and sends it to the custodial bank. In return, the participant gets back an equivalent basket of individual stocks, which are then sold on the open market or returned to the pension funds that originally owned them. Competition tends to keep ETF prices very close to their underlying net asset value (the value of component stocks).
For further reading on exchange traded funds, refer to our Introduction to Exchange-Traded Funds article.
Advantages and Risks of ETFs
ETFs differ from traditional mutual funds in a number of ways.
- Trading: Buy and sell orders for traditional mutual funds are taken throughout the trading day but the transactions actually occur at the close of the market. It's at that point that the NAV is calculated (The sum of the closing day prices of all the stocks contained in the fund is divided by the number of shares in the fund.) ETFs trade continuously and allow an investor to lock in a price for the underlying stocks immediately.
- Fees: ETFs are economical to buy compared to most mutual funds. Annual fees are as low as .09% of assets compared to the average mutual fund fees of 1.4%. Discount brokerage options mitigate the transaction costs associated with trading ETFs. They can be margined and options based on them allow for various defensive (or speculative) investing strategies.
- Safety: The risk and safety associated with ETFs is considered to be equivalent to the risk and safety of the stock certificates themselves.
- Allows investors to diversify very easily by buying or selling the shares. As mentioned earlier, an ETF can cover an index no matter how big or small that index is.
- They trade on an exchange and can be sold short or margined.
- ETFs trade throughout whole day, so prices are always updated, while mutual funds only have a price at the close of the day.
- Trading futures and options on ETFs helps manage the risk involved in trading ETFs.
- ETF holdings are transparent. The sponsor posts the fund's holdings daily, which should mimic the index, while a mutual fund may disclose the fund's portfolio composition only on a yearly basis.
- They are cost effective, don't charge load fees and are passively managed, while mutual funds may have substantial fees and are often actively measured, which increases the expense ratio compared to ETFs.
- Their structure prevents any type of premium or discount forming because of the arbitrage effect of the futures and options on these securities. A closed-end fund, on the other hand, has a limited amount of shares, which can cause it to become overpriced as a result of its supply and demand attributes.
- ETFs mitigate capital gains exposure.
- Dividends are reinvested immediately for open-end ETFs.
- In many countries, the basket of securities that the ETF tracks may be limited.
- Many investors do not need the intraday trading activity of the security.
- Bid/ask spreads may be large because of the light trading that may occur in specific ETFs.
- Due to their size, large institutions may want to invest directly in the index or actively invest in the index, which could lead to lower cost and a better tax situation.
The following article provides further details about the advantages to ETFs: Advantages of Exchange-Traded Funds.

Jackson Audubon Society
5120 Reddoch Drive, Jackson, MS 39211
Ever wondered how many birds are passing overhead
on a spring night--or which nights are the best? Head
over to our brand-new blog, where we'll be keeping
tabs on bird migration all season with the
eye-opening tool of radar imagery.
NEW!! Stay up to date on chapter meetings,
field trips and more.
Occupation: Adult-Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, retired
Started birding: started "raptoring" in the 1970s
What sparked interest in birding: Our son's mascot was the bald eagle,
and I began collecting information about their endangered status and looking for them here in Mississippi
First joined JAS: around 2000
Offices held in JAS: member
Favorite MS birding place: Any body of water large enough to attract American bald eagles.
Favorite birding place outside MS: Upriver on the Mississippi, especially Reelfoot, Tennessee in the winter
when the eagles are present.
Backyard birding endeavors: Several seed and hummingbird feeders, and providing water and shelter for birds.
Spiro was great at identifying backyard birds; I'm learning.
Most memorable birding moment: Seeing my first eagle dive into the water and come up with a large wiggling fish.
Birding achievements: With the help of Chris King, I incorporated birding into "Camp Cora" for a week for my
five grandchildren-they loved it.
Advice to birders: Get off the couch, go outdoors, and look for and listen to the birds, preferably
with a pair of binoculars, a field guide, and an Audubon birder that can help you understand what you see and here.
Just do it!
Our next bird walk will be
at LeFleur's Bluff State Park October 3, 8:00am. There is a $4.04 park

TOTD #48: Converting a JSF 1.2 application to JSF 2.0 - Facelets and Ajax
#47 showed how to deploy a JSF 1.2 application (using
Facelets and Ajax/JSF Extensions) on href="http://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net">Mojarra
2.0-enabled GlassFish.
In this blog we'll use new features added in JSF 2.0 to
simplify our
- Use
Facelets and href="http://blogs.sun.com/rlubke/entry/jsf_2_0_new_feature4">resource
re-location to simplify our facelets
- Replace JSF Extensions Ajax API with new in-built
JavaScript APIs to expose Ajax functionality.
Let's get started!
- Re-create the app as defined in
#47. This app is built using JSF 1.2 core components and
Facelets. It uses JSF Extensions for adding Ajax capabilities. Lets
change this app to use newer features of JSF 2.0.
- Edit "faces-config.xml" and change the value of
faces-config/@version from "1.2" to "2.0".
- Remove the following fragment from "faces-config.xml":
style="text-align: left; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 255); width: 100%;"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
This fragment is no longer required because Facelets is the default
view technology in JSF 2.0. But it's important to remember that JSF 2.0
Facelets is disabled by default if "WEB-INF/faces-config.xml" is
versioned at 1.2 or older.
- Remove the following code fragment from "web.xml":
style="text-align: left; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 255); width: 100%;"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
This is only required if JSF Extensions APIs are used.
- Edit "welcome.xhtml" and replace code with:
style="text-align: left; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 255); width: 100%;"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

<h:outputText value="What city do you like ?"
style="font-weight: bold;"></h:head>

showDetail="false" style="color: red"/>
style="font-weight: bold;"></h:body>
style="font-weight: bold;"><h:outputScript
name="ajax.js" library="javax.faces" target="header"/>
The differences are highlighted in bold and
explained below:
- "template.xhtml" is no longer required because standard
tags are used to identify "head" and "body".
- <h:head> and <h:body> are new
tags defined in JSF 2.0. These tags define where the nested
resources need to be rendered.
- <h:outputScript> is a new tag defined in
JSF 2.0 and allows an external JavaScript file to be referenced. In
case, it is referencing "ajax.js" script and is rendered in "head". The
script file itself is bundled in "jsf-api.jar" in
"META-INF/resources/javax.faces" directory. It adds Ajax
functionality to the application.
- "javax.faces.Ajax.ajaxRequest" function is defined in the
JavaScript file "ajax.js". This particular function invocation ensures
that "city_choices" is
rendered when execute
portion of the request lifecycle is executed for "cityName" field. The
complete documentation is available in "ajax.js". Read more
details about what happens in the background href="http://www.jroller.com/HazemBlog/entry/ajax_integration_with_jsf_2">here.
- Refactor "result.xhtml" such that the code looks like as
shown below:
The changes are explained in the previous step, basically a clean
Facelet using standard <h:head> and
<h:body> tags and everything else remains as is.
Notice how the Facelet is so simplified.
And that's it, just hit "Undeploy and Deploy" in NetBeans IDE and your
application should now get deployed on Mojarra 2.0-enabled GlassFish.
To reiterate, the main things highlighted in this blog are:
- Facelets are integrated in Mojarra 2.0.
- New tags for resource re-location allow a simpler and
cleaner facelet embedded in a JSF application.
- JavaScript APIs provide a clean way to expose Ajax
functionality in JSF app.
And all of these features are defined in the JSF 2.0 specification. So
if you are using Mojarra then be assured that you are developing a
standards compliant user interface.

blog if you have.

by varan - 2008-10-15 13:22Et tu, ED? Anyway, I think there is much to be said for frameworks where the developer does not have to go back and forth between various languages for programming. It makes both maintenance and development easier for everybody. Perhaps for large mythical teams where you have UI being developed in Botswana and the controller in Belige and the datamodel in Ghaziabad, it's more productive to have some people to specialize in XML and others in Java etc. but for entities with less than a zillion Rupees in capitalization it is quite cumbersome to use different languages for different parts of the applications.
by edburns - 2008-10-15 11:58I'm saying render to XML what is XML's and render to Java what is Java's. Less cryptically, I think the record shows that describing a UI in markup is a great way to build a UI quickly for a large number of kinds of applications.
by rogerk - 2008-10-15 11:56Nahh... You can use annotations instead of xml if you like... ;-)
by varan - 2008-10-15 11:31Ed Are you saying that we should use XML for Swing?
by edburns - 2008-10-15 11:22V> Like a broken record, I will put in my two cents that it is V> astounding at best that Sun, which used to be a leader in this area, V> is still pushing all this tagged based development framework V> comprising of heterogeneous technologies (XML, scripting etc.) when V> so may other environments wherein you can program almost all of a web V> application in pure Java are already available. I expect better from V> Sun. Hello Varan, and thanks for your interest. Like the ancient Roman Empire, Java's strength is its diversity. Are you asserting that programming a web application in pure Java is the "best" way to do so? You're certainly welcome to make that assertion, but I know for a fact that many users would not agree. The best thing is you can have your Wicket and eat it too! Ed
by varan - 2008-10-15 10:44Like a broken record, I will put in my two cents that it is astounding at best that Sun, which used to be a leader in this area, is still pushing all this tagged based development framework comprising of heterogeneous technologies (XML, scripting etc.) when so may other environments wherein you can program almost all of a web application in pure Java are already available. I expect better from Sun.
by agoncal - 2008-10-15 07:38That's really good, thanks for this TOTD. As for another suggestion, what about having this same TOTD but calling a ManagedBean. I would like to see how declaring ManagedBeans and navigation have been simplified in JSF 2.0 (any @ManagedBean annotation ?)

Mt. Everest: Happy Nepali New Year!
Posted by: Dave Hahn, Seth Waterfall, Mark Tucker | April 14, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575'
Dress Rehearsal Day. We were up at 4 AM, breakfasting by 4:15 and throwing on our packs about an hour later. By the time we were getting our crampons on, it was just lit enough that we no longer needed the headlights. The goal today was a "practice run" up to the midway point of the Khumbu Icefall route. We were lucky in that there was very little traffic on the route this morning. Blame that on the New Year's observances, I suppose, but it all worked well for us. We moved up through the "first ladders" area and then up the steep and airy "popcorn" section. The word last week was that the route had initially been established with only one ladder… but without a doubt we went up and over at least fifteen ladders to the halfway mark. The glacier is on the move, with the route consequently changing a little every day. We had a quick snack in the morning shadows at the "Dum" short for the "gear dump" which used to be a halfway camp and or gear staging area in the mid point of the Icefall. Then it was down… carefully, since every cramponed boot needed to be placed exactly to avoid drop offs and crevasses. We did quick arm rappels down one little ice wall after another until we were able to get down below the first ladders and out of the zone where we were endangered by ice over our heads and voids under our feet. Life got better then. We were back to Basecamp for lunch and afternoon naps.
In the afternoon, the sky clouded up and it appeared to be snowing on the upper halves of all the big peaks. At three I went to the first meeting of team leaders. It was something of a reunion since everybody there was an Everest repeat offender. We tried to hammer out a few details about radio frequencies and placements for rescue gear, among other things.
It turned into a good afternoon for hiding in tents, but that was fine. We did good outside work in the morning.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Remember those Lehman bonds that caused the Reserve money market fund to break the buck? How about all of those states that have struggled to balance their budgets? And let's not forget those mortgages (millions of them) that have fallen into foreclosure, dragging down the special investment vehicles that were created through securitization and marketed as safe, conservative investments. The commonality between all of these disappointments is that bond rating services, including industry giants Moody's Investors Service, Standard and Poor's and Fitch Ratings, certified them as solid, creditworthy investments. Now, the ratings services are being called on the carpet for their misdeeds by legislators and customers alike. This could be bad news for the big bond raters. (Despite investor distrust, rating agencies can be helpful. Just be sure you use these ratings as a starting point. Find out more in Bond Rating Agencies: Can You Trust Them?)
Rating the Raters
At the one end of the spectrum, Congress is looking into allegations that Moody's intentionally issued misleading ratings. The investigation is being spurred on by an ex-credit analyst and the ex head of Moody's compliance team. The analyst, Eric Kolchinsky has come forward with specific and damaging allegations that accuse Moody's of issuing high ratings from complicated debt securities when the firm was in the process of downgrading the underlying investments. The ex compliance chief claims that Moody's provides ratings on tens of thousands of municipal bonds that it doesn't monitor.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also taking a look at the situation. The SEC has proposed greater disclosure of the firm's ratings practices and hope to encourage additional ratings agencies to enter the business.
Crash Backlash
Scrutiny from legislators isn't the only trouble brewing for the rating agencies. Backlash from the credit market crash has insurance regulators looking to find a better way to vet bonds. The insurance industry relies heavily on the bond raters and holds some $3 trillion worth of bonds the agencies have rated. These bonds generate the revenue that will be used to fund payouts for a variety of insurance policies. Unfortunately, some of the ratings on those bonds have been less than accurate, resulting in billions of dollars worth of losses for investors and forcing insurance companies to ante up $2 billion in 2008 to prove to industry regulators that they could still fund the policies they have issued in the aftermath of the losses they took on their bonds.
Fighting Back
The companies aren't happy about the situation. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is now considering the use of other sources of research to vet bonds in its members' portfolios. When their biggest customers are unhappy, the ratings agencies should be worried. (Don't want to be a passive investor? Discover how investment clubs allow you to take control of your portfolio, in Get Active, Join a Club!)
In an ideal world, the downstream impact of all of all this attention should be better ratings and greater safety for investors. In reality, the situation is likely to just get more confusing and more expensive as a ratings system that has been in place for decades undergoes a shakeup and yet another scandal takes its place in the record book.

Popular Baby Names ~ 2014 ~ Signal Flags
Usually every January I do a post on the most popular baby names for the year. This year I noticed that a lot of old fashioned names are popular. I put together a picture of some of the names to show how they look spelled out in our signal flags. They are shown with our Horizontal which is the rope. Also as a Valance with a curtain rod and lastly Vertical with our ladder that we make. They add a personal touch to any nursery with your child's name. Hope you enjoy it.
If you click on the monkey knot on the sidebar it will take you directly to our translator where you can type in your name to see what it looks like.
All flags are made out of a high quality cotton and made by us.decorating, fabric, gifts, nautical, Nautical Decor, sewing, signal flags

WSTA Board Retreat
Professional Development Planning
During the annual WSTA Board retreat on August 6-8, 2015; WSTA Board members and elected Regional Representatives met to finalize professional development plans to deliver training to teachers and administrators for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year. One of the primary strategic directions of the Washington State Science Teachers Association is to provide science education training throughout Washington State; and this year WSTA plans to conduct a 6-7 hour training in each region of the state to train teachers how to fully utilize the science practices, science content, and cross-cutting concepts related to the new Washington State Science Learning Standards. Each of our ten regional representatives will lead the training in their own region after spending 35-50 hours preparing to deliver this professional development. All interested in participating in the training can register in September on our website. We hope you will join us!

Wonkette Interviews Protester At Virginia Obama Rally
Wonkette videographer and local hero Liz Glover covered an Obama rally Wednesday in Leesburg, a rich person's town in Northern Virginia. Who cares what Obama said — probably HOPE HOPE HOPE BLAH PFFT — Liz was more interested in the McCain-Palin fans who showed up just to stare at all of the liberals. Here's one fella she met, a professional in the very reckless industry that is currently destroying the global economy, thanks.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Copeland has performed more than 100 implants of the Total Artificial Heart. His countless contributions to this life-saving technology include advancing surgical techniques, patient care protocols and anticoagulation (blood) management, as well as serving as the Principal Investigator for the 10-year pivotal clinical study. This study produced the highest bridge to transplant rate, 79%, of all approved mechanical circulatory support devices, and resulted in FDA approval of the Total Artificial Heart as a bridge to transplant on Oct. 15, 2004.
"In 2001, Jack, along with two colleagues, formed SynCardia Systems, Inc. to take over ownership of this technology from the University of Arizona, and in 2008, the company achieved reimbursement approval from Medicare for the Total Artificial Heart," said Dr. Hess. "These successes have led to international acceptance and utilization of this technology - all due to the brilliance and work ethic of a single pioneer."
After heading the cardiothoracic surgery program at the University of Arizona for 33 years, Dr. Copeland joined the faculty of UC San Diego in July 2010. Besides his pioneering work with the Total Artificial Heart, Dr. Copeland also performed Arizona's first heart-lung transplant in 1985 and the first U.S. implant of a pediatric ventricular assist device designed for newborns and small children in 20

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says he is "extremely optimistic" that Congress can pass an information-sharing bill for cybersecurity this year.
Michigan Republican Mike Rogers said June 12 that his meeting the day before with Intel ranking Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland and their Senate Intelligence Committee counterparts, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), was the "most productive" of the year related to the information-sharing legislation.
Though some members of Congress have raised privacy concerns over information sharing between the private and public sector, the legislation now enjoys bipartisan support in part because intelligence officials have briefed lawmakers on the full scope of cyber issues, Rogers said at an American Enterprise Institute conference.
Chambliss expressed similar optimism last week about the compatibility of the House and Senate bills.
The House passed its version in April 2013 with two-thirds support; the Senate has yet to bring a bill to the floor in this Congress.
The House bill would establish response centers for threat information in the departments of Homeland Security and Justice, with DOJ focusing on cybercrime.
Rogers said that public misconceptions of intelligence agencies after the leaks of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden have made passing information-sharing legislation significantly harder.
"Every day there's a new article that isn't exactly right in the newspaper about leaks that are coming out from the NSA," he said at the AEI event in Washington, D.C.
A January poll from the Associated Press and GfK found that more than 60 percent of Americans surveyed said it was more important for the government to safeguard their civil rights than protect them against terrorism.
Rogers called that a false choice.
"We're caught in these series of debates that you have to have either privacy or security. I believe you have to have both, and you can have both," he said.
In the debate over the virtues of information sharing, cybersecurity experts have said it might take a high-profile cyberattack for the public to grasp the seriousness of the threat. But that public realization has yet to come, Rogers said.
"I really did hope that the Target example would kind of shock Americans to understanding as great as an opportunity as the Internet is, it also presents a whole new level of danger that we need to try to deal with," he said, referring to the hacking of 40 million payment accounts at the retail giant. "I don't think our psyche has gotten there yet."
Former NSA Director Gen. Michael Hayden also vigorously defended the agency's bulk collection of data at the AEI event, and agreed with Rogers that cyberspace is largely new policy territory for the government and public. Americans "have not yet determined what it is we want the government to do to keep us safe in this new domain, and we certainly haven't decided what it is we are going to let the government do to keep us safe in this domain," he said.
