the terms were handed to general lee. the terms, as written, where written in ink that was provided by colonel marshall. the federals haven't brought any ink with them. mr. maclean's ego was unusable. so, we will have terms of surrender drafted by a gentleman who is not a citizen of the country, using ink from the opposing side. general lee asked general marshall to complete a letter of acceptance. he completed one, but it was unacceptable, so he required a second effort. he does not have enough paper so he must borrow taper from the federal offices. if you're are looking for symbolism in this meeting, it's all over. if this country is going to have to come together and proceed into the 20th, 21st, 20 second century, it must use the resources of all of its citizens . as well as the physical resources available to them. general grant would then rise and there would be an introduction made with some of the federal offices in the room. general lee would note that seth williams is there. he had been in west point from 1852-185

the youngest general in the confederate army. 23 years old. they are under general lee's son rooney lee. roberts is under him. and they do that wheel and drive the federals off that ridge. the federals they met up on that ridge, including this fellow here. a young sergeant rose, who takes a pistol ball in the groin. he was with the second new york mounted rifles. they leave behind sergeant mcintyre of the first maine cavalry, who was killed, as is captain edward cooper of the circuit or how calvary. and there are many others left up on the ridge. these other men i was able to find photos of your under one that came to us this year is this fellow. during the advance on the ridge he is 24 years old john -- of the fourth virginia infantry. he is struck down during this advance. when i look at it and think about it i say, my god, what this man went through. looking at his service record. he enlisted in the rockbridge artillery in 1861. he gets transferred to the fourth virginia infantry. he is captured at the battle of second mednax. he is exchange

which was approved by the then general manager. then the project went on hold again and in 2014 reuben rose approached the city to bring up the rest of the document and seek their final execution. we involved counselor freelander, who pick a very convenient time to review the documents from 15 years ago. identify what the requirements were on both parties? we have been working for several months with the developers to finalize those documents for eventual execution. during that time over 15 years a lot has changed in park policy and we as department have raised with the developers and working collaboratively with them to meet ways to meet our interests around three specific issues. those issues include park hours. currently the agreements that were approved, but not executed by the commission and planning commission and board of supervisors set forth hours of sunrise to sunset. st. mary's square hours are governed by the park ordinance adopted by the board last year to set hours for the park. and then also the park design itself, wh

but the office of legal counsel works directly for the attorney general, and the attorney general is really the one responsible for forwarding to the president a memorandum that says the president can do what he said he wanted to do. so he said for 20 different times over a period of years, i am not an emperor i do not have the power to do this, this would be unconstitutional, and like statements 20 times. then he changed his mind as we got close to an election, for reasons that i don't fully intend to speculate about at this time and he asked that he be given the power to do this. this put great pressure on the office of legal counsel but that's one of the historic roles they fulfill, is to analyze these things. and they take an oath to the constitution and they're required to say no if the president is asking for something he's not entitled to do. they're supposed to say no, and the attorney general is supposed to say "no." but the attorney general could review the office of legal counsel, could take it upon himself or herself to write an opinion and submit it as the position of the

-- were the joshua generation. yesterday, as some of us were marching across the bridge, i reminded him now. i reminded him of the joshua generation. the problem with the joshua generation is that it does not go by age. it goes by commitment. there were many people that were in the moses generation that were not in the movement. just because your old doesn't mean we only you -- owe you no gratitude. there are many in the joshua generation who are not engaged now. the real way you separate them is by those that are committed to the journey, and committed why? because there is a distortion of why we have taken this journey. i've been wrestling with it, bishop, and it came together for me on that bridge yesterday. i happened to be standing between her and the president as we got across to the halfway point. john lewis stopped and said he wanted to speak. he started explaining what had happened at that point where jose williams and he were beat. miss boykins said, let me speak. from her wheelchair, she talked about how

the first expedition went badly. gender -- general benjamin f butler launch that x with rear admiral david d porter. but without even attempting an attack on the fort, butler decided to abandon the campaign and return to virginia. grant probably stacked at and replaced him with brigadier general alfred h 28. and in effect, he gets a better general, and he gets a much easier man to live with. both butler and porter are prima donnas. they don't get along well at all. in fact, that bad blood goes back to 1862, but with terry at the helm of the army components, that will be a problem. the two men soon find that work well together. terry will also have a large force at his disposal, close to 10,000 infantry, including a division of black troops. well porter will lead in our model of 58 warships. -- an armada of 58 warships. now, commanding the coastal defenses below wilmington, none other than general braxton bragg. by this late stage in the war there is probably only one person in the south who still believes in bragg. but he happens to b

the number given by general alexander was 57. e'll go with that number rather than the adjustments later. 57. what i wonder is why in the world the oversight committees, intelligence oversight committees of the house and the senate, why they didn't know that number themselves, and, two, why that number has not been in some way incorporated into analysis of the strategy of what we're doing. it's caught and arguably intrusions into american society. >> yeah. that's a great question. and it gets to the reasonableness argument in the front half of the fourth amendment. the judge is emphasizing the back half that no warrants shall be issued except upon probable cause. but you realize, certainly any of you who came here by airplane, realize that not all searches are prompted or legitimated by a warrant. but it's the overall standard has to do with reasonableness. and lou, you're right. the judgment on reasonableness has to include the factor whether or not it's worth doing. do you get anything out of the other end? i mean, i understand

the civil rights movement -- different about our generation. the civil rights movement has not happen in our day and age. mlkj whereof never wanted us to continue to have to fight. but we still see it today. jake: i get asked by friends all the time living in overseas, they cannot understand after the arab spring why young people here don't stand up more and protest and aren't in the streets. if the situation is that, why don't we speak up? is there something to this point? young people engaged differently when they want to make their voices heard and not maybe in the 60's sensibility of what it meant to be an activist? joelle: i think there are a lot of people still engaging and direct action. you see them in ferguson, staten island. people doing those direct action tactics. what is different about this generation is our ability to amplify those beyond those who they would normally affect especially using forms of technology. yet seen the emergence of black twitter. -- we have seen the emergence of black twitter. i think that ability to amplify

i do find a lot of the generational insularity. we are involved in a pretty steep crisis of legitimacy on the part of the leadership. you would have the lgb t. writes and economic disparity in income inequality we have some trendlines going that are not good and part of that is the dysfunctional leadership. >> how are we going to do it differently? >> i think that the class ratification and the lack of mobility we are not going to become a social democracy like -- we have to figure this out. so that is the challenge. what do you see your generation doing that other generations after the baby boomers are not. >> i don't know if that is the number one challenge and i had friends that is going to be the issue. i think online activism gets a really bad rap particularly for a lazy type of activism i don't think that is true and it's overblown. it's shown that this generation is not engaged and does activism very differently but it's still doing activism so that's one thing. secondly just to the point earlier it was insane and for the peo

the union officer of the day was general joshua chamberlain and the confederate officer was general gordon. chamberlain orders his men to salute the confederates as they come in by having them shoulder arms which is a command where they hold the rifle at their side. gordon will have the confederates returned the salute , shoulder arms -- return the salute, shoulder arms. this was done with dignity and respect, there were occasions when the soldiers talk to each other even though it was supposed to be silence. we know that some regiments recognized each other. a south carolina unit recognized troops from maine and recalled how they had captured the flag of that regiment in 1862. for the most part, though, this was done with respect. at the end of the date of the day the union soldiers will have stacks of rifles laid down in the road to collect. the confederates were to surrender battle flags as a part of the agreement, battle flags being military property. itsome units back in their camps for the flags, tucked them -- didn't the flags -- hide tghehe flags. some units burned their flags. one

this was three days before the surrender under general robert e lee. events were happening so rapidly that no note was made of the battle. in the next few minutes, you will be part of that part of our nation. just some point before we talk about the battle, there are three separate engagements referred to as the battles of sailor's creek. as you enter the museum, it refers to it as battles. i mentioned the spelling difference. there were two branches, most of the fighting was on little sailor's creek. you will read in books that if they mention sailor's creek, i have seen lee living half of his army or one third of his army. it was actually less than a quarter of his army. somewhere between a fifth at a quarter of his army. they were taken as prisoners. there were eight confederate generals who would surrender at sailor's creek. one is a ready in general brevard, he was promoted in the last days of the war. it never got ratified in the confederate congress. he was a would be general, but not. when people refer to us, you have to use the adjective last m

the generation after us. idea what my niece is talking about half of the time. i think we are such a diverse group that it is hard to box us into one group and i think that in terms of civic engagement and government, people are banging their heads against the wall on how to reach us because there is no one set way to do it. we are that diverse group. look at the people up here, in this room. there is no way all of us relate to one singular thing. jake: how have you approached the misunderstanding or is there misunderstanding? joelle: i agree there is a misunderstanding of our generation. the power to influence business and government and policy are being -- we are being disruptive. we're looking at new ways to do things and not necessarily trusting or in favor of establishment or institutions. a recent poll shows that our generation trusts institutions far less than any generation before us. i think that is disconcerting to people. there has to be a change to the status quo in order to engage people. think ab

what was the reaction that article came out? generalolger: he is the unknown man of the match in war. those americans are not aware of this, eating our special operation forces, he was the guy that made sure we went after and did the damage on the rate on bin laden. he used to say that to fight a number, you need a network. he organized better integration with the cia .. we learned things from his people -- in the old days, they did not know what they were doing. they were the experts at chasing down enemy leadership, and that was stanley mcchrystal. he spent so much time in the secret world, when he dealt with the media, he was caught flat-footed. michael hastings was at that time writing for "rolling stone," and he looked to be a good guy to write the article. his brother was an infantry the tenant. hastings loved writing by the military. he had a little bit of a rebel streak. i think he thought it would be cool to be covered by rolling stone -- share the cover with lady gaga something. they never set the ground rules. you asked me ea

sally quillian yates: i think the attorney general or the deputy attorney general have the obligation to follow the law and constitution to give their independent legal advice to the president. sen. sessions: does the office of legal counsel, which makes many of these opinions that impact policy, visit report through the deputies office or directly to the attorney general? sally quillian yates: when you look at the charts the legal counsel reports to the deputies office. it is important that the office of legal counsel also be independent because federal agencies across our government where gilly come to the office of legal counsel, seeking advice and guidance about what is not. it is critically important that the office of legal counsel advice be just that -- advice and not advocacy. sen. sessions: well, that is true. like any ceo with a law firm sometimes, the lawyers have to tell the ceo that you cannot do that. do not do that. you will get a suit. it is going to be violation of the law. you will regret it. please. the matter how headstrong they might be. do you feel like that is t

brian: what were the highlights of your career? generalolger: the most important thing, i served mostly during the cold war. we were preparing for combat, so we did not fight. i was a company commander. my division commander at one point was norman schwarzkopf. during the gulf war, i was a major. no action occurred there, but we were ready. we had loaded weapons and all that. fortunately, nothing happened. during the mid-1990's, i was with the 101st airborne as an infantry battalion commander. i got to go to haiti for a few days, that was a peacekeeping operation. i wore a blue hat, as did my troops. united nations, yes. my first -- i was a brigade commander in korea. a unit of about 3500 soldiers. as a colonel. when i made general, a war had broken out in my first combat experience was in 2005 when i deployed to iraq. i was a one star, a brigadier general. my duties, i was the deputy commander for the senior field command. after a few months, i spent a year training the iraqi army air force, navy, and their small marine corps. working bri

i said "you mean the general's?" he said "yeah." oa. >> and of course at that moment the room got very silent. he said "well, it could be worth a lot of money, $200,000, $250,000" just for the keppie alone. i said "that's more than i got for everything. >> but ed doesn't want to believe he's been swindled. he considers russ pritchard a friend. >> you trusted him so much you let him babysit your infant. >> that's correct. >> earl suggests that find out more. through his connections he discovered how much the museum paid pritchard for the items. how much did they pay? >> they paid over $800,000. >> your reaction? >> i was astounded. i realized something was really wrong. >> then another shocker. he learns pritchard flat out stole some items, including family photos he kindly offered to restore for ed. >> russ pritchard told me he'd be glad to frame them for me and send them back no charge. >> no charge. >> he was just going to do it because he was a nice guy. >> wondering what they could be worth, ed takes them the highly regarded gett

the record. think you, general austin. given the situation in yemen, if their actions by militants there to block the mendez straight, i assume that american forces would immediately act to reopen that straight? general austin: we would work in conjunction with our gcc partners to make sure that those straits remain open. it is one of our core interests to make sure that we have flea flow of con -- general rodriguez: we would work with the host nations of africa and europe to support those efforts. >> make you, gentlemen. -- thank you, gentlemen. senator mccain: for the record, i would like a response to the question. do you consider yemen a success story? yes or no? general rodriguez: it is not a success story. >> thank you. >> when the president made the statement, he was talking about antiterrorism statements. general votel: i believe the described. >> he was not talking about yemen itself, he was talking but the success of counterterrorism against a q ap. naturally, the deterioration of the situation in yemen has come i

the majority of them, 68% are first generation to college. ique to this population, but nevertheless a challenge to them as they have limited guides to navigate in and through college. their major of choice by far were the s.t.e.m. fields science, technology engineering and mathematics, which accounts for 28.5% of the reported majors. and, clearly are relevant fields for the 21st century knowledge-intensive economy. they yet live in limbo. many feel invisible overwhelmed and psychosocially stressed. the data in the report paint a an alarming picture of what undocumented college students are facing in our country today. there is a tremendous amount of juggling in the lives of these young folk. our data suggests that 61.3% of undocumented students are coming from families living on an annual household income of less than $30,000 a year. 72% of them were working while attending college taxing heavily their ability to succeed academically. ..

fund as well generally speaking and the airport is mostly all general funding. >> what you are talking about expenditures being eighty and 90 percent from the general fund -- is is that -- >> it's the prop 172 the 49 $49 million is also included and that's that's the subsidy for us and there's a combination so we just call out specifically the city general fund so it's the 413 plus the 49 plus the 53. >> oh i see that makes sense otherwise it wouldn't balance. >> okay. commissioner dejes u.s. >> do we have anymore classes scheduled. >> we will have two academy classes before july 1st and then we will have a minimum of 4 minimum of -- well the scheduling -- we believe a minimum of 4 but the mayor's office is even discussing a more ambitious hiring plan than that but we believe the the 3 and 3 for this fiscal year and next fiscal year will be at least 4 and 4. >> vice president turman? >> thank you director gannon something i want to follow up with the the commissioner. >> i don't know specifically but i consider that general fund. about 53 million so they reimbur

as i'm sure you've come to appreciate, the attorney general the deputy attorney general is in many ways, the functional head of the u.s. department of justice. the attorney general ultimately sets department policy about the most important matters but the day-to-day responsibility of carrying out those policies and overseeing the department of justice's work falls to the deputy. you and i have met a couple of times now and i've vuch enjoyed our conversations. i've appreciated and been impressed with your credentials, your experience, approachable manner for what seems to be a very good judgment on a whole host of issues. i'm sure chose qualityies serve you well and will continue to do so if you're confirmed. want to ask you about two areas of concern that we've discussed before. first, the broader responsibility of the department of justice to give competent, credible and independent advice and second, what you would do or have done as deputy to restore the trust and confidence of the congress and of the american people generally in the work that's carried out by the department. on the

i would like to move to item number 6 which is the report of the general manager and i would like to take 6-b, the clean power sf timeline. . >> president caen and fellow commissioners and supervisor avalos thank you for the chance to speak before your commission and i'd actually like to speak to item number 7, the urban agriculture program that's being proposed under the public utilities commission jurisdiction but let's first talk about clean power sf and i want to thank the general manager and staff for working closely with jason freed of lafco and that was a request that came from the general manager kelly and i thought it was great to show that we're building a strong relationship to move clean power san francisco forward and i've been briefed on the timeline and i see that some that some of the things that we expected to be happening at the very end of the timeline are actually earlier so it looks like the more difficult work is going to be around procurement and other things and i believe there's ways to shorten the timeline proposed and it wouldn't actually be very hard to do.

dangerous for jeb bush if democrats like him more than the republicans, but powerful as a general electionrgument. campbell: unless given how unknown he is to republicans he makes a big push in introducing him. mark: the very reasons republicans don't like jeb bush he supports common core supports a path to legalization or citizenship that's the very thing the democrats in the democratic group said, we like him because he's talking about our issues in an inclusive way. there's an awareness on both parts about parts of -- on both sides about parts of his agenda but incredibly different reactions. i was surprised at the openness on the democrat's part to jeb bush as i was to the republican hostility. campbell: another key difference democrats appeared to care more about nominating someone who is most electable, meaning who has the best chance of winning the general election, whereas republicans gave the impression they wanted to find their political soul mate. >> when you think about who you would want to support in the democratic primary do you think in terms of their ability to win the nom

because hoosiers are the kindest, most generous, most decent people in the world. let me say i believe this is a clarification but it's also a fix. it's a fix of a bill that through mischaracterization and confusion has come to be greatly misunderstood. i'm determined to address this this week. and to move forward as a state. and i know we will. indiana has come under the harsh glare of criticism from around the country. and some of us get paid to be under that harsh glare and criticism so we don't complain about it. but the things that have been said about our state have been at times deeply offensive to me. i will continue to use every effort to defend the good and decent people of indiana. i think it's important that we take this action this week. i've spoken to legislative leaders all the way through the last hour and we're going to be working to make that happen. with w that i'm happy to take questions. got ahead. this law does not give anyone a license to deny services to gay and lesbian couples. and, look i could have handled that better this weekend. but go
