i went from one end of the mall to the other from the capitol all the way down to the lincoln memorial looking for the african-american history of washington, d.c.. and i could barely find anything. i said to myself that can't be true. i know there's african-american history in the city. it has to be african-american history of the national mall. maybe no one has bothered to sit and find out what it is and that's how this book came about. starting in the u.s. capitol, i needed my goal to find out what the african-american history of the national mall and this book is the result. i'm going to take a few minutes here today to talk about some of the things i discovered not only about the national mall, but about washington, d.c. as a city. some things i open interest you and media insider you to go out and find some of this history for yourself. so, i'm going to be at the mercy of technology here and see if i can get this to work. one of the first things i did when researching this book was to look at washington, d.c. as a whole. for years and years and years, washington, d.c. was a major

the dichotomy is the road at the union or is the work of slavery? he shows both issues were in the minds of the republicans from the very beginning. the balance shifts, but it's not as if the two years in the union have been suddenly become interested in slavery. the very beginning of the work on that people were trying to save the union in which slavery would be on the way out in some way. so i commend him for trying to get us away from that either or situation, which is so common in discussions of the civil war. >> to expect opposition? did you expect opposition? [inaudible] [laughter] >> i've been telling my friends for two years. i call it on the e-mail and come in the line, the book nobody will believe. >> this is a book for the general public as well. you're speaking to everyone. >> i really don't know. i can imagine pushback on that but i can also imagine at this moment in time when i think some of the citizens and politics have diminished a little bit. i just don't know. i just can't tell. >> okay, we'll find out.

the wall, it says merchandise on the one side facing the street. is that actually a closed in room so the atms wouldn't be visible from the street? >>> i'm sorry, is this at the top of the page? i want to make sure i'm talking about the same room you're talking about. >> there is a room here that says atm room. maybe you mean the service room. it's next to the vestibule? >>> yeah, the atm room is a secure room that holds the body of the box of the wall mounted atm so it's completely enclosed from the street. >> but the atms that people access for people is inside or outside the room? >>> outside. the use of the atm is done in the vestibule itself. >> but it faces kind of sideways, not toward the street? >>> exactly. >> okay. it sounds like it helps at least with the signage not facing the street. and i think you're hearing that people don't want the signage necessarily of the atm [speaker not understood]. >> yes, i understand there is concern about the number of signs we put on the buildings. the amount of blue illumination. i will certainly take t

was the basis for the initial estimates that went into the design competition as well as the initial phase one budget. >> the initial phase one budget, carried escalation rates of 3 and a half percent per annum and construction costs and we had done an fta process to establish the levels of contingentcy in the budget at that time and looking at commencing demolition in august of 2009 with the phase one construction to be completed in just under 5 years in january of 2014. as we brought the architect on board and we moved into the design one of our first activities was to go through what we called a concept validation phase where we would contrast the hok scheme with the work being developed by the architect pelly clark pelly to identify any discreptcies in scope and cost and to reconcile those before we moved into the scheme matic design. >> and so as we moved into the budget and to revise it there were a number of miles stones that we went through. may of 2008, we awarded the contract pelly clark pelly to be the architect and set forth the design schedule at that point which include

the threat in the mitigation of the threats, the day before, and the committee, it's my understanding, is made up of the secretary of defense. secretary of state, director of national intelligence. were the two of you at these meeting the day before, on september 10th? >> i believe i recall being at a meeting that kind of looked at what the potential threats were as the result of going into -- >> at that meeting -- i have chart here, no one questions the chain of event that happened on the left side, the things that happened prior to all this what consider to be warning signals that win should be able to recognizing the resource problem we have. what was the assessment of the threat in libya at the time of this principal's committee meeting? either one of you. >> if i could, senator, the meeting is a routine monthly review of counter terror operations -- >> happened to be teen 10th. >> right. it wasn't uniquely focused on north and western africa, although clearly north and western africa is an area of emerging threat. >> i'm sure that subject was there i can't imagine it wouldn't be

the realms of the maya. the power of the great city of teotihuacan. the zapotec kingdom of monte alban. for many scholars the differences between new and old-world civilizations suggested an independent course of history -- that each evolved on its own. this led to another and deeper insight -- beneath these differences may lie a grand and universal similarity, a parallel course of human evolution throughout the world. we now know that all humans once lived nomadic lives. we gathered wild plants and followed the migrations of animals. our lives were lived in small bands. everything was shared. no one had more power or wealth then anyone else. 10,000 years ago, people began to farm and live in permanent settlements. soon, villages, towns and cities evolved and life changed. thousands lived within city walls. we specialized in a single task, and depended on others for everything else we needed. in time, we became divided into rich and poor, as our human relationships became ever more complex. archaeologist william sanders. i think all human societies ar

tonight the national security advisor to the president of the united states tom donilon. >> at the beginning of 2012, the president after a multimonth review, close consultation with the uniform military, the joint chiefs, service secretaries and combatants around the world, put together a new defense strategy, that defense strategy had to take into account that the budge control act requires the defense budget over the next ten years to be reduced by 500 million or so, a little less than that. and which would require a 5% decrease over what were the plans. and in doing that the president asked the military to think about what the new challenges were going to be, what were the real challenges we were going to face. and that defense strategy was comprehensive, and it had various pieces to it that we would look to agile for itses, that we would look to having a global footprint. but with emphasis, reemphasis on asia, continuance on the middle east but innovative partnerships around the world that could involve a lighter footprint in cases. >> rose: tom donilon for the hour next. funding for ch

the race to the top program. we were designing the recovery act, one priority was spending all the money come on let's do things to help the economy. let's also do things are good for the long-run health. a bunch of money to state and local governments to say, you are in trouble, you don't cut services or education, here is the money. a chump was held back for the race to the top program. a competitive grant program. one of the key parts is, rather than viewing the teachers union as an adversary, can a community getting union -- get the union and get something, if they could come up with something they got the money. that is a good model for not just demonizing the teachers union. one of the places where the economic evidence is probably strongest is on the value of spending at very young ages. some research coming out of the university of chicago, not usually a hotbed of liberal ideas, especially on the economic side, investments and really young children. they do seem to have real value, and test scores and gra

the fact is, the loopholes we have identified are similar to some of the ones that the speaker of the house have identified, as worthy of closing, not good for the our tax code, not good for our economic fairness. those are the ones we believe should be closed. additionally, in our proposal we put forward a provision that could cap deductions at 28% for millionaires and billionaires that would produce a certain amount of revenue. a combination would achieve the level necessary of revenue as part of an overall deficit reduction package that, includes savings from entitlements. it would complete the job in getting $4 trillion deficit reduction over 10 years. that proposal, as the president made speaker boehner, most people recognize as an effort by the president to compromise, make tough choices for democrats. it is still on the table. we hope that the speaker would consider taking up that proposal. it was yesterday or the day before, the speaker talked about how we could and should reform the tax code. the fundamental difference here is not that we shouldn't close loopholes and cap ded

and the three ways that slavery figured in the origin and the progress of the civil war. first of all, as the worst central cause. secondly, as a crucial source of military power deployed during that war. and third, slavery's erosion during the war and its destruction, both of those things, as an eventual union goal. the destruction of slavery as an eventual conscious, deliberate union goal. so let's start with cause. as you may know any recent national survey, hal have all te people, have all those americans who were polled denied that slavery was the main cause of the u.s. civil war. and that view is apparently gaining ground, not losing ground because among younger people polled, those below 30 years of age, fully three out of five tonight slavery centrality to the wars origin. but in 1860-61, leaders of both the union and confederacy knew and said that slavery and escalating national dispute over slavery's future was precisely what was leading most of the southern states to break from and breakup the united states. thereby initiating the costliest war in the country's

the night of the incident, the day of the incident, the homicide interview would be completed. the officer has to complete several post-discharge debriefings. we'll talk about those. and the return to duty panel is required to meet five business days after the ois. so, talked about the post discharge, post discharge debriefings. and there's three that an officer would routinely put an officer routinely through three debriefings afterward. one is the critical incident debriefing and that's a meeting with our behavioral science unit. that's required to be done within 72 hours of the incident. and the officer meets with the -- the involved officer meets with the folks from the behavioral science unit and he is provided information about posttraumatic stress and about resources he that would be available to the officer. two other things that happened are a range debrief and a modified force options debrief. that's the simulator. the officer goes back out to the range, makes sure they retain the ability to effectively manipulate, physically manipulate the weapon. they were put throu

the plan in the center directly below the campus. and that green area is the ucsf medical center which is 550-bed hospital at full build out. they're currently under construction of their first phase of building a half million dollars project. so, block 40 is directly to the west of that medical center. southwest from the university campus itself and then directly south of other biotech space. and i'll go ahead and zoom in. we've got an aerial shot which gives you a sense of the status of development. a lot of the university campuses built out at this time, offices beginning to fill in around it and the residential is heavily under construction to the north. and in the area further north next to the ballpark is essentially already built out. if we zoom in further, block 40 is there pinned up against the 2 80 freeway directly to its west. we're looking from the southwest looking northeast back up at mission bay. and, so, the red outlined area is block 40. to its right to the east is the medical center parking garage. to the north biot

the. >> it's the theme of the evening. it's interesting, you asked is it this or is it this, and i, actually, my instincts are that it's both. it's a false dichotomy, if you will. and the ideals versus practice that huntington pointed out as this huge gap, arguably, and this get toss the comparative question that was alluded to which is that's the very nature of the state. i mean, the gap between law and its enforcement. and some of those gaps are most glaringly apparent in the kind of smuggling activities that i point to. arguably, the united states has set the most ambitious laws in some respects. zero tolerance drugs, right? secure borders, right? just the very language -- the war on druggings. no one else -- drugs. no one else calls it a war suggesting it's a super serious effort, right? so that suggests the gap is a pit larger because the evasions are so glare, and the ambitions are equally glaring. so i guess in a sense i'm agreeing with huntington, but sure, there's a hypocrisy here. again, people talking about hypo

the republicans will control the first half, the majority the final half. following that, the senate resume consideration of the american family economic protection act. at a time to be derld today, there will be two cloture votes on motions to proceed to s. 388 and s. 16, which is the democratic and the republican sequestration bills. senators will be notified when the votes are scheduled. i have worked that out with senator mcconnell. mr. president, today the senate says goodbye to a valued and accomplished staff member, rick dubobies, who is retiring after 10 years of staff director for senator levin on the armed services committee of the rick came to the senator more than two decades ago after a distinguished 26-year career as a judge advocate in the navy. he spent his entire capitol hill career with the same committee, that committee being the armed services committee. a rare occurrence in the senate, he worked first for chairman sam nunn and then chairman carl levin. for the last decade rick as led the committee's oversight of two of our longest-runni

and if he concurses with the finding, the chief will work the recommendation of the fdrb to the police commission. if the chief does not concur, he would forward his own findings to the police commission. the way that is presented to the police commission is in writing. you've seen the fdrb letters. it's letter format, but it's in writing. it summarizes all the different components of the administrative -- administrative investigation, the criminal investigation, the facts as developed in the case. there's some of the forensic evidence that was developed and then how the conclusions were to arrive at that and whatever recommendation would be as a result of the fdrb. there is a presentation of the fbrb findings and there's also a quarterly report for the fdrb and the ois investigation. so, from start to finish, you've got the two processes concurrent. one dependent on the other. the administrative dependent to some degree on the criminal, the criminal dependent on the various things we've looked at. those are wrapped up and sent to the fdrb which begins a review process basically. it's
