we traveled by dog team, and mammals and the ducks and the geese and the muscrats, and the mice, the seals, the caribou, and that is what our life consisted of. and we never in our wildest imagination ever thought that this land would ever belong to anybody else. every virtually every nook and cranny of that indiana-sized lan was familiar to everybody. everything was named. we never thought that we would ever lose control of it. in our part of the world, life was tenuous, and in fact, we lost a good part of our male population in the 1800s, in a lake, as a consequence of a crack in the ice when the young men were playing a football game, where the ice came up like so and they couldn't escape. and by the time that i came along, in the '40s, most of our people were being converted to christianity. and including my own adoptive parents. they were like one of the first generations who converted, and what i didn't know until a few years ago, was that there had been generations, literally, of an effort to eliminate our identity through the use of the classroom and we were being deprived of

time went forward and i thought revolution muslims traveled to syria and track and monitor them and make talked about [inaudible] obama have released the chief strategic implementation plans and i was giving input on that. without my interactions with the fbi they were not waging war against islam they were primarily concerned with stopping acts of terrorism in identifying those that may go on with violence. ultimately i was originally sentenced to 11 and a half years and served almost four years of that before the judge reduced my sentence due to my cooperation. i continue to operate as an informant and in some capacity with the fbi and the public is america's first former jihadist but recognized that as time went on i have not actually done the work of the radicalization because i refuted the ideology and they never address the issues that ultimately facilitated my entrance into radicalism in the first place. i've been sober for over year and i'm doing work on myself but also trying to understand and taking a different perspective with regard to areas such as intervention et cetera and

and so off george and christopher go through swamps on and on. they get to larger fort into the main head french -- and he's a very distinguished elderly gentleman a real formal professional soldier with great experience. of course he's only in his george calls him elderly in early 50s and standard of age in those days and french receives george for formally and very graciously with -- formal dinner and with french wine and imported from france and finest meats and you know candle light and it was very gracious time and he reads the letter -- and over the course of the next couple of days he writes a response. so george takes that letter and immediately sets out as quickly to get it back to ho is told him to travel with all possible haste. and so he gifts servants set out and they just get slammed by winter with the again. really cold really snowy. it gets so cold and ?oap by horses not find forge. and they can't streams are frozen so they can't find water to drink and so george and christopher finally leave the horses behind. leave the -- servan

and how complex and how really lovable he was, warts and all. so i will stop here and maybe cleve will say a few words and will have some -- >> i'd like you to speak a little bit about series of this book is a part of. i don't know, i don't ever remember harvey speaking about religion but his jewish identity was very much at his core. when i think about them coming of age on the east coast during such a dark time, the tragedy that were unfolding in europe. so when i first heard about this project of yours i was particularly excited about that part of it. could you say that more about that? >> yes. the book as i mentioned was published through the yale university press jewish lives series, and harvey, like i would say more than half of the subjects in the jewish lives series, was a secular jew. he was not at all religious. he had a bar mitzvah and that was kind of the end of religion for him. interestingly enough, walter kaplan, who is here, tells me that harvey attended passover satyrs at walters house, and his very last year of the high holiday

red lights and speeding and stop sign and yield while turning. and so as you can see, i mean, if you have any questions at any point stop me because there will be other slides and there's a lot of numbers as you can imagine. so then we go into comparison to 2014 to 2018. and the top numbers are total violations issued and you can see the difference between the traffic company and city-wide which is the 10 district stations. >> what is the difference with the upper column? >> the upper column is total citations and the lower one is the focus on the five. those are the totals. so that's all 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. i know that it's hard to take in that -- all of that data, but the comparison is really from one year to the next and we went down this year for various reasons in the totals of focus on the five, but we expect that to jump back up in the coming years. >> supervisor mandelman: and i'm sorry, sorry for jumping in, but the last is a half year, is that correct? >> yes. they're all january to june to do a comparison. >> supervisor mande

and families and communities. it is an honor to be here with all of you here. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. a very patient senator jones. >> you have to be patient when your number 99. thank you madame chairman and ranking member casey. thank you for all the panelists and all of the sea of purple that i'm seeing, thank you for what you're doing. i'm always appreciative of a south carolina and who can come give witness without an accent which is really nice. this is important too so many of us credit all his thoughts on a very personal level. my best friend's dad who is my second dad died number of years ago and i watched him go down in a few years ago it hit my dad and he was a navy man as well and is in assisted living. dad was the strongest man i've ever known. short in stature but like iraq in both his physical stature as well as his integrity and character. it is a very sad father's day, he is still alive, but to see him in the state he didn't because it affected not just his cognitive, but he has other

and they're 280, and 290 a share and they traded at 20 times, and i like the stock here. >> this has got to be a dead fish or a dead catch over a catch that's dead, so if they rely and consider pointing out -- >> hold on a second. >> victoria's secret brand, they were live, 60% of the revenue, if that sufficienters, the dow will tp to suffer and you reach near cultural change where i can't speak from experience, but i think you're reaching a cultural change as to what women would rather wear and maybe we should ask two of them and it would be more of an athleisure. >> steve grasso, what women want to wear. >> it's 46% in stock shareholders and it's not going anywhere >> who knew? >> earlier today, i thought this was my and i thought, no way and i looked at it much more closely and i completely agree with ti o on valuation >> we're wrong >> completely wrong. this say company that i mean, it has a grand history of being a retailer they know they are in a seriously different environment here i think they'll get it together, and i think at this valuation there's not a ton of risk. >> let

everyone got together and we sang and we prayed and i think that it was a really powerful and a moment that we could come together and rejoice. so not to put any pressure on you but i'm looking forward to a fantastic speech tomorrow. to fire everyone up and get us excited and to get us motivated to stay connected. i am incredibly optimistic and will certainly be helpful in bridging whatever gaps that need to be bridged. i offered my hand in service and thank you for your continued service and leadership in san francisco. i want to recognize the supervisors and then we will recognize mayor elect breed. >> thank you for your kind words and supervisor came and all of my colleagues. i deeply appreciate everything you said. it's been an honor to serve with you. i do think you have to be slightly mentally ill to want to do this job. you know, wiki we do not know what the workload -- people do not appreciate what the workload is and what the sacrifice is. it has been an honor to serve with you. i want to commend mayor breed. her leadership, as long as i've been on the board, has been phenomen

, and we had lots and gloves. and we would always try to get in the front seat, cheer, and when we had pictures with us, we could carry an ironing board for all the people who wanted to register. and we were putting them on but they weren't being disruptive so they couldn't throw us out. so i thought we needed to have fun with this. they were quite into having fun, but it just -- i've never under a timeline on the constitution except for when it is women. you only get so many days. but you know, we were all frustrated. liz holtzman had won because she defeated the man in the nra. and she was the leader in all of it. and we were very exasperated. i hear they still introduce it every year and it still sits there. to me, the most interesting thing was that after it was over, there was a survey done of all the newspapers and all the tv shows and everything, trying to understand what image people got off the equal rights movement. and none of them ever printed what it was. and it was basically a few words. and it was b

and competitively priced with pg and e.or those who want to fight climate change more, 100% renewable at $0.02 per kilawatt. >> i decided to go with the super greens, after finding it only to cost about $5 more a month to have super green, that's a no-brainer, i can do that. >> we were pleased that clean power sf offers the super green 100% for commercial entities like ours and residents for the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services for linkedin and now encouraging our employees who have a residence in san francisco to sign on as well. >> clean power sf buys its power from renewable plants that feed the energy directly into the grid. >> there's a commitment to sustainability throughout the entire organization and this clean power opportunity reflects that. >> one of the wind farms we use is the shilo wind farm and that is large enough to be able to provide energy for up to 200,000 homes. >> our mission is sustainability, even though our bikes are minimal energy use, it still matters where the e

thank you, mayor breed, and supervisor cohen and supervisor mandelman and supervisor brown, and director of health garcia, barbara garcia. thank you for being here and for your support for our seniors. here at victorian manor we serve over 90 elderly clients with various needs, including dementia, medical and mental health needs. our home provides a place where seniors can live in the community and be as independent as possible. we welcome with open hearts and open arms a diverse group of residents, including a frail and vulnerable elderly population and we see every day what a big difference it makes for them to have the right place to live with the full activity program that enriches their lives. thank you mayor breed for recognizing the work of residential care facilities for the elderly like victorian manor. the new funding will help us to make ends meet. and to continue to serve the seniors that we care so much about. we are happy that the city is also looking into long-term solutions to keep the facilities like ours, residential care facilities for the elderly, to have them remain

and park programming and activation. to clarify today you are not acting on these specific category but amending within the code so the subsequent special tax district formation documents will be able to site to these spending catagories. this is technical amendment. so that was the whirlwind plan overview. i'm going to highlight the key areas where the plan has changed since it was last heard at land use and transportation committee. they fall into three catagories. jobs housing balance. public benefits package and development requirements. under jobs housing balance, we've heard a lot under this area. we've heard a desire to maximize housing production. especially affordable units. we heard we should streamline the production process and the review process as much as possible. and that we should protect and produce affordable housing early on in the plan through aggressive site acquisition. in response, we've made changes to the plan. we have modified the zoning to add 20% more units up to the maximum allowed in the e.

assassinating people abroad and dealing with tissue of crimea and ukraine can and he should go in andddress the issues and then drop the mic. that would be a win, a, and there is no other reason to engage with russia at this point. >> earlier today, the president's counsel sajohn bolt said that the case of the vapors. >> they are very, very differently kim jong-un and putin putin, and he understands the strategic differences of what they are and what he is trying to pursue. >> he says that tohe allies should not be worried and he has left the door open to the u.s. and even recognizing russia's crimea grab, and you think that it is concessions? >> well, you have to ask it, what is in it for the united states. and he is talking about the geopolitical gains, and i have not heard them arctic ticulated the president would say, i don't think that it would be a bad thing to have a relationship, but the allies have agreed with us, and said, look, what we need to do with russia is containment and not engagement, and that is why the sanction s are in place and not the g7 because of the horrific

between refugees and asylum seekers and also the csu politician and the deputy leader and the ally of. this is what he told me about this. >> if someone is an illegal migrant, he has to be rejected. he has to go back home. if he is a refugee from syria, then he can be accepted and i am sure that the people in europe, when they can guarantee a state that those who are arriving here are real refugees and asylum seekers and they're fleeing from syria, then a lot of people in the european, and the majority of people are willing to help those people. here is what is at stake in the european union. it's fs it's not about the numbers. it's about the criteria. >> he's reinforcing what you're saying and the question is what next? you talked about how european countries are not stepping up to take their share in an equitable way and this is something merkel has tried to do for years and years, trying to get the eu it deal with it, but it hasn't. so what is the answer? how does one get them to do it? >> we've seen last week in brussels, europe and the european union trying to come up with a prac

and i think that singt caknows a lot and hillary knows some and shanti just came on and so i think that there's a need for us to all get on the same page. i'd like for you -- i mean to propose in your plan that you maybe have a study session with us just to get us all onboard so we're all on equal footing. because anything that sfuc or cleanpower wants to bring forward it has to come before a board of supervisor approval also. so having said that i'm looking to probably for you to have a little bit more oversight over the c.c.a. process. so we have downloaded information but i feel that we should also be -- having sort of a critique. i think that it is our body as an oversight body also to work with the same goal, but through the lens of the city and county of san francisco and the board of supervisors too so that we can have a voice in sort of how it's being rolled out or if we have a critique or a suggestion or a recommendation that i think that -- so we normally, i mean, cynthia has been been the most knowledgeable and very vocal so she has recommendations. i think that as a committe

are and and hate and discrimination and white supremacy and racism. thank you so much for this and for your support. [cheers and applause] >> mayor farrell: thank you kate. up next, i have the pleasure of introducing someone who is really a part of living history for lgbtq community in san francisco. someone who has been the forefront of this fight for civil rights, for decades in our city. someone who has had the opportunity to be a leader outside of city hall and inside of city hall. and at this point, it is the only person on the board of supervisors that is part of the lgbtq community. please join me in welcoming up the great lady -- leader for our city of san francisco supervisor jeff sheehy. >> thank you kate i have a certificate from the board of supervisors for you as well. [applause] just a note, under her leadership, nclr has led on these national court battles, but one of the most moving things i experienced was i was with my husband in a small town in florida, a lesbian couple, the woman who had been previously married to a man was having

sylvia burgess and laura windsor and mike tario and eileen tillman and vance uashia.you would like to speak please line up on the right side of the chamber. and we will acknowledge you. >> okay, thank you so much. my name is laura windslor and i'm a floral designer and a small business owner here in san francisco. been in business for more than 25 years. i've had the opportunity to speak to some members of this committee previously about our concerns for relocating the flower market. i'm here today to speak in support of the property swap that is being considered here. the 2000 marin site is really the only site that is feasible for relocating the flower market during the construction at our present location. and we are very excited that this property swap is going to take place and we'll have a temporary location to go to. in light of some of the comments regarding the environmental impact and possible contamination, i think that our entire community would urge the stakeholders to move forward as quickly as possible to determine what the site holds in terms of contam

and c.c.a. governance is accountable, transparent and inclusive. and that c.c.a.'s value and prioritized social equity. and the cpuc concluded the hearing saying they intended to take action on the report by some time in october. we're paying very close attention to the legislative arena where it's very possible that something in response to the report may emerge. so we'll keep you informed as things come up. but that is -- that concludes my report. >> supervisor fewer: who funded this report? >> pardon me? >> supervisor fewer: who funded the report that you're referencing? >> it was prepared by the cpuc staff. so it would be cpuc funds which are ratepayer funds. principally ratepayer funds. >> supervisor fewer: commissioner pollock. >> vice chair pollock: thank you, this is so important and i know that it's a full time to keep an eye on cpuc proceedings and it's important for cleanpowersf customers. as usual we're concerned about what happens at the cpuc and i am just i guess baffled sometimes by what's going on there. >> supervisor fewer: me too. >> vice chair po

in and for this creative and confident city. demonstrates the deep friendship that exists between germans and americans. mr. president, please take back with you warmest greetings from the berliners to your fellow countrymen and take back with you this assurance. berlin will continue to stand for the fascination of freedom. mr. president, please take to the people of the united states of america warm fwreetings from the berliners, and tell them, please tell them, we, berlin will continue to stand for the fascination of freedom. [ applause ] >> translator: mr. president, mrs. reagan, governing mayor, my dear american friends, berliners, first of all, i would like to thank you, too, mr. president, for your visit today in berlin. i express this thanks and a cordial welcome on behalf of all my german fellow countrymen this side of the wall and on the other side of the wall. your visit, mr. president, is dedicated to the 750th anniversary of our old german capitol. it is a gesture of friendship and solidarity that can be seen from af

and social and city-wide planning. those are challenges that we face every thursday and i reflect on them every week. i believe we need to add a new ingredient into the process, which is a comprehensive, broader view of the city of the future, where we can -- where we need to balance the important qualities of our city with a step-by-step thoughtfulness. it's not about good plans and long visions but how we achieve formulating that. in closing, i'm honored to serve again on the planning commission and today i ask for your support. i'm firmly committed to bring what i can to preserve and enhance a strong, traditional planning in the city that for me includes a voice for all neighborhoods. i would like to thank the many supporters that have written and spoken on my behalf and especially those who have come today to voice their support. i do also want to mention that i strongly support my three fellow commissioners in front of you today. as a team, think we're unbeatable. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. we'll r

better coordination with city and county to increase awareness and marketing and -- of and participation within nert, so we really need the help from you all and city hall, etcetera, to make sure that people are becoming aware and getting trained and coming to us. a big problem that we have in the nert office is that we are still operating with pen and paper, essentially. so we need to bring the technology within that department up to modern standards. we spend a lot of time processing paperwork and getting people into the system, etcetera, and that time could be better spent by our nert office by strategizing, major outreach, etcetera. so technology is a major hurdle which we need to address and overcome in the nert office. and of course, as we said before, there's still a need for more staff to support this process. you've seen the numbers of how many people are trained. you know that there are -- what did we say? 55 neighborhood coordinators, so if you take all of those people, and even if you funnel them through 55 neighborhood coordinators, you can imagine the amount of requests tha

you have a porch, of course, and three rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs and a stairwell, and that is it. nonetheless, there it is inserved since it was built 1815. that is there to see. then there was a swordthat is t. given to and are pickens by the continental congress along with as aothers words, given recognition of conspicuous valor . in the revolutionary war, dickens commanded part of the south carolina militia. in that role, he had the foresight to think, the militia always retreated when faced with the british. if the militia in this instance actually retreated and then came back on the battlefield, they might actually produce winning results. he was absolutely right. the militia came back on the battlefield, and the british were absolutely astounded. really, from that point on, the british retreated. -- retreated to yorktown. that is why we are here today because i'm really privileged to introduce the professor of history at clemson university. that is where my daughter just graduated from. he is the author of several important books on military history, one of which, the

and websites and the whole range. we look at everything. >> congressman i apologize for interrupting you but one of the things i talk about earlier was the importance of congress re- authorizing and eliminating the sunset act you mentioned access to data abroad without speaking to a specific case that is a very important to also we really do urge you to consider that. >> we appreciate the insight. google told the public would stop sending personal e-mails but now we hear that google allowed third parties to scan e-mails so what about their violations? >> we review everything. that is one of the ways we start investigations we see public announcements or statements and we get complaints so we consider everything. >> okay. thank you for being here we appreciate your testimony and i yield back. >> we will have a five minute recess at this time it will come back. thank you speefive spee5 event we will reconvene at this time with a gentleman from new jersey for five minutes. >> thank you very much and good morning to the d

and the american people and our allies are counting on us and most importantly our brothers and sisters in uniform. politicians too often make the seemingly insignificant -- there's nothing more important for the american people and the future of this republic than what we're talking about here today. let's be leaders. let's do the right thing and support our troops. and i want to thank representative cheney, along with my fellow texans, chairman thornberry and granger for their efforts. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas yields back. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. garamendi: thank you, mr. speaker. i will yield myself so much time as i might consume as long as it doesn't exceed 20 minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. garamendi: the gentleman from texas spoke boldly and creggetly and if i could get a copy of his speech, as i will, i think i'll use it myself. he covered all the issues i would want to cover in talking about the united states air force as a representative of two very important air force bases,

and he tried to straddle the worlds of mccarthyism and knowing how awful and corrosive it was, and he never took a stand against mccarthy, and he never took a stand against mccarthyism. i guess he thought he could just wait it out. and, you know, you don't get to write your own legacy. in 1953 he droppedded dead, and now he's known for not standing up to mccarthy. >> right. >> and so that's what i think about when i think about how are future generations going to judge today's politicians, today's members of the media. how did you respond to the indecency. not did you join the resistance, not did you vote this way, vote that way, but did you take a stand when this was said or when this was done? and i think that there are going to be a lot of politicians who are going to be disappointed when and if there's a heaven and they're looking down to see how their legacy looks and it doesn't look so good. >> you talked about murrow who had a hand in mccarthy's demise marley at the end. >> but he was late. >> yeah, he was late. and on his program, the iconic see it now on cbs he did a famous m

eastern and sunday at 9 p.m. eastern and pacific time. all previous "after words" programs are available on our website booktv.org. next on booktv's "after words," maryland congressman john delaney the first democrat to declare a run for president in 2020 offers his vision for america picks interviewed by donna brazile for much of the democratic national committee. this this is a weekly program wh with relevant guest hosts interviewing top nonfiction authors about their latest work. >> host: congressman john delaney, the author of the new book "the right answer." congressman, you wrote this book at a time when our country is very divided. what motivated you to spell out not just the challenges but also some of the solutions? >> guest: personal it's great to be here with you donna. i think the central question facing this country more than any particular piece of policy and i'm sure we'll get into different policy ideas and solutions but more than policy is how to take this terribly fractured nation and bring it back together. that's impor

and freedom and future matter. tois matter to a i want you give a warm greeting to kirk cameron. kirk: good afternoon. you look great. what an exciting event to be part of. i am so excited to be here and i am honored to be here with you who have traveled from all over and already, we have in listening to so many great inspiring ideas and we have jeff sessions coming up soon and i am going to be like so that we can make time to pause before he gets here. i am excited to be here. this is refreshing to come to the western conservative summit. i live in california. the land of loose nuts and bolts. most of you came last to come to the western conservative summit to i do not think if you keep going west it becomes more conservative. i had to travel east us morning to tighten up. -- this morning to tighten up. i learned some interesting things about california that will be fun to share with you. there have been some [inaudible] gone deeps that have into the soil of california. sera who father established the first nine m

reading about your dad and the traveling and the way he would go through the deals and come back and missile merchandising idea was whatever i thought you people were going to sell. that's a classic peddler. the sky was incredible. where do you think the persevering, i get this your grandpa came out of the situation at 11 years old having to take care of every name. your dad had he never stopped motor. i mean, his perseverance was incredible. where do you think he got? was it just a luther? more education. he was a part of the family business unit. he was a working young man. in fact, as teenagers, and when popper went for a lunch break, my dad stopped off and went to the movie. he knew what to do. he knew rachal had gone them that they're just stood in the back of the church and theater and yelled, hollister. daddy came out and went back to work. it was saturday and there was work to be done. but yes, my dad always said that the luckiest person of all is the person whose work also is played. my god loved his work. he loved the connection with people that you have in retailing. if yo

engagement going back and forth and back and forth. this commission it should be noted for more than 18 months we sent the sailing center and mr. wallace to go back. we care about what we do here, our responsibility is to uphold public/private partnerships. treasure island has to be developed. sometimes th all of us have to come to the middle to make things work. in fact, almost about nine months ago the village center agree with the negotiation and they came back here and said we can liver with it live with it and it was appeared by the sierra club. at some point pau all of us will have to get together wit in the interest of the city. we have heard from the other stakeholders that are looking at this marina from people with big boats and people who wul subsidies this and small boat owners. i am comfortable with the sequa that we have here. we went from 450 and we are now back to 220, that is a drastic reduction. no project is the alternative here and that is not good because we have a dela delap delapidated marina. i am comfortable af

and hillary clinton and other computers and systems and servers and stole information and shared it. so, here is rudy giuliani saying the indictments are good news for all americans. the russians are nailed. no americans are involved. time for mule tore -- mueller to end the pursuit of the president. juan. >> if i were the president's counsel i might issue a statement like that. for the rest of us we know rod rosenstein was careful in saying in this indictment. what he was indicating is right now what we have on the table is no indication any americans were aware they were being used or abused, if you will, shannon, by the russians who were interfering in the campaign. there was a congressman or top aide in florida who may have gotten information. roger stone close to the president believes he was unnamed in the indictment. so we have lots of those but i think the memphis -- emphasis is so to say so far no evidence of collusion so let's wrap it up and the american people want to know what happened. >> shannon: we heard from a number of folks on the hill including democrats and senato

noises and he does smell and your spelling the burning fuel and the bombs are going up and shaking the floor. it's an intense experience and it's designed to bring it back so we can help you get better. both of those amazing scientist, many clinical studies, rent controlled trials. this helps soldiers come help first responders. it's a tool that should be used more. >> host: had you extremity yet with 5g and vr? >> guest: -- experimented. we have done a little bit of work with 5g. one of my life dreams for vr is i don't want to replace face-to-face communication. i want you to go to the party, go outside with nature. i want you to be with your family and friends. however, there is a subclass of work, a subclass of travel that is unnecessary and we consider it work. i want to go back, when you watch the movie from the 1970s and you're watching this movie, you see a doctor, there's a pregnant woman and the doctor's office and you both smoking cigarettes. can you believe doctors used to smoke cigarettes on the patient's? we laugh at that. i want us to look back on this error and say, can

and the office between 189 and 188. also what they said, their perspective on not only the reagan administration nuclear policy but the implications for today as we faced serious and challenging problems. would you first welcome my dear friend frank miller. [ applause ] . >> thanks for having me. let me start by saying that i'm really thrilled to see all the other people in the audience because over the past several months as i've made act 20 public appearances defending the nuclear posture it turns out a lack of understanding and knowledge about the past about what you can take part in the session and learn from it. i spent 1981 as an action officer in the office of peter nuclear policy. i was working on the reagan administration. they anticipated. it's the most basic terms the soviet icbm's could destroy the silos. it was change to that administration. at first, it was national security decision document 13 which was u.s. nuclear targeting policy. that document is the presidential document that tells us in part how to

i think we can come back and be specific where the touch points should go deeper and for review and lay it out in a timeline going forward, four years on this agreement. >> commissioner vietor: i concur with what's been said and i appreciate your efforts, because i think it's a very exciting project with a lot of potential. let me add on to whatever it looks like, but i know we've had some conversations around the watershed center and at some point, i would like to have a better understanding of the opportunity that this might present to really develop and update that curriculum, that water center, in alignment with the basic building blocks. and understanding that they might, again, have different add-on criteria or requests because of the unique nature of that facility. as we're talking curriculum and salmon integration, and may be able to pull that out and look at what is going on with sunol as well. >> absolutely. one of our main goals with the big ideas was it have a framework that applied beyond city and county and applied regionally and we would love to partner on the waterside w

and it took me a while and my father died in january and the whole. i was working on this he had had this terminal diagnosis, he had lung cancer and he didn't want to talk about his mortality. he didn't want to talk with cancer. he was one of these people, and it was generational perhaps, he was in his late '80s but he processed it to the extent he did internally and generally share with us, but i needed to process it and here i was, i have this wonderful but sad opportunity to talk to people struggling with their mortality and they had had an experience that allowed them to talk about it very openly and very frankly and so part of it was that i needed to have that conversation and was going on with these drug trials. those that only part of it. in my own life, as i talk to these people and i started off doing a very straight piece of science journalism, was published in the new yorker i was looking at these trials for people who were dying. my conversation made me so curious i had really had a psychedelic experience and the fact that they were able t

the role of sports and athletes and the social change and civil rights issues of 1968. we'll hear about how collegiate athletes used their platforms to advocate for call treatment for all. especially latino and african-americans. the historical society of pennsylvania co-hosts this discussion. >>> my name is sarah leu. i am the educator of historical collections at the historical site of pennsylvania. prior to that i worked at sports collections here in the archives and i'm just an overall giant sports fan. let me introduce you today to our panelists. here to my right is lindsay sara krasnoff. she's a historian a communications consultant, and a writer. she has written on french and global sports for a range of news and sports media outlets. next to her we have tom mogan. tom was born and raised in brigantine, new jersey and currently serves as the associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students at boston college in chestnut hill. before that he worked at villanova where he also taught in the history department developing courses in u.s. sports history

and mexico share a 2,000-mile border and must continue to work together to enhance both security and trade that benefits both our countries. nafta should be updated for the 21st century, not scrapped. with that let me go to our ranking member, mr. engel, of new york for his opening statement. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. thank you for calling today's hearing. this region is particularly important to me as a former western hemisphere subcommittee chair. ambassador merten, assistant ambassador lynch, thank you for your service. you're both doing great work. but again, i must say the white house is failing to fill key positions in a timely manner and means we cannot hear from those setting the course for foreign policy. that's too bad, because in my view, the administration has put us on a very dangerous course when it comes to the western hemisphere. the way the president talks about this region says it all, falsely insisting mexico will pay for a border wall we don't need, filthy language, calling mexicans drug dealers and rapists, the dehumanizing language about immigrants a

we don't run and the -- any of our programs that help provide food and shelter and clothing and basic needs with any city money. but we are part of a family in the city that is helping to make sure that our safety net cannot lift people up and help prevent poverty and that is why we are supporting and ask for homeless emergency service provider association and food from the food security task force. we have thousands of people waiting for both food and shelter. two basic things you cannot survive without. we have an opportunity to do better than what was proposed from the mayor and we should take that opportunity. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am from the homeless prenatal program. i'm a case manager there. we assist homeless families with chair which is a three year subsidy. i personally manage undocumented cases. i have seen these family is a work with these subsidies and become self-sufficient. i've seen these families become stable enough to focus on adjusting their immigration status with limited housing options because of their und

and climate change and social and employment and consumer protection. third, we would need to joint inconstitutional framework to provide for the application of eu/uk agreements by both parties. this will be done in the uk by uk courts and eu by eu courts with with regard to case law in areas where the uk continued to apply a common rule book. this framework would also provide a robust and appropriate means for the resolution of disputes including through the establishment of a joint committee of representatives from the eu and the eu. it would respect the ought tonmy of the uk and eu's legal orders and based on the principle, cannot resoldisputes between th two. and put forward a new business friendly cost oms model and arrangement. this would remove the need for customs checks and controls between the uk and eu because we would operate as if a combined customs territory. crucially it would allow the uk to pursue an independent trade policy. uk would apply uk tariffs intended for the uk and eu's tariffs and trade policy for goods intended for the eu. 9

significant and descriptive content of socially and economically and politically and what happens to a society where the foundations are truth and are continuing to be averted by our own lying eyes. this is what we will talk about today. the looming challenge of so- called deep take media that portrays things that never happened. work don't correspond with reality. joining us for this conversation is an amazing group of people. please allow me to briefly introduce all of the participants. we can quickly move through the formalities and into the heart of the discussion.>> first we have senator marco rubio who i trust most of you know. he is first elected to the senate in 2010. he represents the great state of florida. among other committees senator rubio serves on the committee on intelligence and foreign relations. thank you for being here. >> after the comments we will hold a discussion with the other guests. we will be joined by the professor. she is a law professor at the university of maryland where she teaches and writes about privacy, speech and civil rights. her book, hate cri

and dr. stevens has been supportive of us, very patient with our questions/pestering and was kind enough to meet with us and explain how the program will move forward in the 2018-19 year? we're excited that the program will be rolled out beyond the ten pilot schools but one of the things that we wanted to point out is rolling this out, this is a -- this is a pilot program that will provide reading interventions to all students, whether or not they've been identified for special education but make sure that all of our readers are -- are getting intervention services to come to grade level, which there's no more critical thing that we can do for our students to prepare them for success in the 21st century than to teach them to read. and if you look at studies of prison literacy rates, for example, there's a study done in huntsville, texas, of inmates. 80% of inmates at the state pen that were studied, 80% were functionally illiterate, and of those, 40% had the rapid naming haulmark signs of dys

and marines and harry truman. and when i first agreed to come down and talk, i said are you sure you know what you're in for, inviting every marine story down to the macarthur memorial and they said yes, come down and say your piece. so i would like to begin with this slide. which is how many people are familiar with this cartoon, of barnaby series? how many people are familiar with crockett johnson? the moon, the -- yeah. well this was, a world war ii era cartoon. it has everything to do with what i'm about to say. what i love to be able to get a reference like this in because it's kind of cool. but part of the barnaby series, barnaby baxter, he had an emergency friend like we all do, and his name was mr. o'malley, who always got him in trouble. and part of this cartoon was the young man's chowder and marching society. it doesn't make sense but it will. just remember the chowder society. i'm going to take you on a journey. i'm going to take you to guantanamo bay. i'm going to take you to china. to veracruz, mess

and leaders come and go. on a whole, those bureaucracies, or if you look at the militaries, the navy, the british and the americans work together. they know each other. they know their kids. they know there's a common history. and sometimes one wonders when you look at disparity of power. i mean american impeer will go in due course. itish empire did. empires don't stay. but for quite a time yet the united states is going to be supremely powerful, but they need someone to talk to. so the english language is important. the certain shared ideas are important. the fact the supreme court decisions still sometimes quote magna carta, for example. these things are important. the political cultures of both sides are incredibly different. i think people make a mistake in thinking the two countries are very much alike. but there are certain shared values, shared language, shared history. not necessarily shared jokes, but a certain -- britain likes irony. america likes sort of slapstick. there is a different approach to

and. the untried lot in honor was the crucial structure for the n.s.u. after its members went underground. in the group leaders from various german states were directly and specifically involved in supporting the fugitives like. the organized right wing music concerts to raise money for them. and they also tried to find weapons for them. ludden or was an instrumental support structure allison signed on to talk a reason. to have fully been also organized concerts to raise money for the n.s.u. trio. the. german law enforcement agencies were actually watching all this activity. the leader of blood and on and cheering and at the time was actually a police informant he provided detailed reports on the group's operations. and our research for this report revealed that the leader of germany's national blood and on the organization also worked as a police informant for years. half oliva knew that government informants we're everywhere he himself had been under surveillance since the end as you mem

's on labor and community and on our elected's to take bold steps and move this even more forward and progress and make a living wage a reality for san francisco and then we will see, under the leadership, it will happen across the country and elsewhere. thank you. with that, i will turn it over to pat mulligan. thanks, brother. [applause] >> thank you rudy. next we will hear from a san francisco worker and a victim of minimum wage violations. she suffered under -- under minimum wage violations in a case i was investigated by the office of labor standards enforcement. we negotiated a settlement in the neighborhood of $400,000. in the back wages and penalties. just to appreciate it to, this was for seven workers. you can get the extent of the violation on an ongoing basis. whether that, i would introduce this woman and her interpreter for today with the office of labor standards enforcement. >> voice of translator: good afternoon everyone. i will be the interpreter for this group of people. i also work for the office labor standard enforcement for -- as a compliance officer. i would li
