want a requirement that industry scrub any
data of personal information before giving it to the government -- a
stipulation that Rogers and business groups say would be too onerous and
deter industry participation.Rogers, who co-sponsored the bill with Rep.
Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the panel's top Democrat, said they altered
the bill to address other concerns by privacy groups raised last year.
But a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, Michelle Richardson,
said the bill is still objectionable because it could allow the military
to review data on private commercial networks."A couple of cosmetic changes
is not enough to address the concerns of members" in the Senate,
Richardson said.Rogers says the political calculus has changed and that
China's hacking campaign was too brazen for the White House to justify
the status quo."There's a line around the Capitol building of companies
willing to come in and tell us in a classified setting (that)
`my whole intellectual property portfolio is gone,"' Rogers said. "I've
never seen anything like this, where we aren't jazzed and our blood
pressure isn't up."In February, Obama signed an executive order that would
help develop voluntary industry standards for protecting networks. But the
White House and Congress agreed that legislation was still needed to address
the legal liability companies face if they share threat information. Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., promised at the
aid. If one goes offline,
others fail. Employees don't even have fuses, said Lara. "They have to
cobble together their own to keep things running.""There's no money to buy
parts for something that breaks," said Giovanni Rinaldi, a 15-year employee
at a hydroelectric plant in the eastern city of Ciudad Guayana, which
he said is plagued by four or five power outages a week
despite being in the region that generates more than 70 percent of
Venezuela's electricity.He was fired this week after posting photos on Twitter
of a state utility company vehicle plastered with Maduro campaign material."We
had put our own money into keeping those vehicles running because the
company didn't," Rinaldi, a 40-year-old father of two, said by phone. "It's
not right."The government hasn't adequately spent to expand and strengthen
the power grid, critics say.They also blame problems on Cuban, Iranian and
Uruguayan technicians brought in to run by Chavez to run the system.
Accidents are up tenfold, and there are places in remote states that
suffer outages for as long as three to five days, says Lara.Maduro,
who was sworn in as interim president the day of Chavez's funeral,
promises better performance but blames the recent surge in outages on sabotage
by sympathizers of his challenger Sunday, opposition leader Henrique Capriles.The
government has "militarized" the electric grid and said Tuesday that at
least 17 alleged saboteurs have been detained but offered n

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> RIO DE JANEIRO Public transit vans like the one in which
an American student was gang raped last month were banned Thursday from
Rio de Janeiro's touristy South Zone neighborhoods.The measure was floated
late last year as a way to help ease the city's chronic
traffic jams but gained urgency as a safety measure in the wake
of the March 30 attack on the American woman and her French
companion, who were attacked by a van driver and two other young
men who brutalized them for about six hours inside the vehicle.Under a
decree published Thursday in the local government's Official Journal, the
vans will be prohibited from operating in high-rent neighborhoods including
Ipanema and Leblon beaches, as well as Copacabana, where the two foreigners
boarded the van to travel to a nightlife hotspot in downtown. Exceptions
will be made for vans serving two "favela" hillside slums sandwiched between
high-rent South Zone neighborhoods, according to the decree, which takes
effect on Monday.Without the vans and with a key metro station closed
pending the extension of the subway, residents and workers in the South
Zone will need to rely on buses, taxis and private vehicles to
get around.The 12-seat vans are seen as a quicker alternative to buses
and largely travel the same routes. They will continue to ply the
poor, sprawling suburbs that ring this city of 6 million.Thursday's decree
was the second safety regulation for public vans put in place since

11, 2013. Maduro, Chavez's hand-picked successor, assured last week during
a campaign rally that Venezuela's late President Hugo Chavez's spirit appeared
to him in the form of a little bird that flew around
his head inside a wooden chapel to give him his blessing. He

Associated PressVALENCIA, Venezuela It's just after nightfall and the power
is out again in untold hundreds of thousands probably millions
of Venezuelan homes. If the government knows how many,
it's not saying. It hasn't issued reports on problems in the public
power grid since 2010.In Venezuela's third-largest city, Pedro Martinez
dons a shirt for visitors drawn by the flicker of candles inside
his one-story, cement-block house in a middle-class district. The Caribbean
heat is sticky thick inside. A mesh hammock hangs by the front
door."This happens nearly every day," Martinez says of the blackout, holding
a candle close so a reporter can take notes. It's the day's
second outage. The first struck just after noon.It's been like this for
five years, pretty mu
