[ applause ] i told my children when father floyd told me. a long time ago, i said father floyd, what makes you be able to do this over and over -- year in and year out? that you never burn out? that you have a constant source of enthusiasm for administering to the needs of people in need? he said when i was growing up, my parents told me that god loved poor people in a very special way. and so that we all must love them in a very special way. and that was his motivation and i believe the motivation of many of us gathered here today. i know it is of where you are father? father from u.s. f? thank you for being here. i see so many of you in the audience who have been so magnificent in this and here we are. coming together in a partnership, in a partnership between mercy housing; now it's mercy hou

cosmologist who focuses on the early universe, the associate scientific director of the foundational questions institute, fqxi anthony aguirre. i am attending an fxqi conference on time, at sea in more ways then one, on a ship cruising between norway and denmark. anthony, what i thought was an easy question was did the universe begin? now i hear it's not such an easy question. help me. so it used to be just speculation. well the universe is finite in time. oh i know it went on forever. and kant actually went so far as to make this philosophical argument that you could both prove that it was infinite in time and finite so just throw up your hands. ...but then you had this steady state which theoretically was infinite in time and the big bang which theoretically had a beginning. precisely, so then it took this form these two competing cosmologies and it was nice because we could have observational evidence that would tell us which of those was right and it turned out that the big bang cosmology was right and the steady state was incorrect. but now the steady state is kind of made a come back through, through the back d

what sets bob filner's sex scandal apart from anthony weiner's is the foundational moral concept of consently all of what weiner did was consensual, creepy as people find it. not so with filner, accused of chronic, ongoing, systemic sexual harassment of staffers and constituents alike. a press conference last week, a lawyer described what are allegedly commonly used terms around the mayor's office. "the filner head lock" meaning the mayor wrapping his arm around a woman and directing her to a place where they can be alone. and the filner dance where the mayor attempts to kiss the woman and she pulls away. the same press conference, a former san diego city councilwoman and former filner staffer read accounts from two unidentified women who reported run-ins with filner. >> over the past many weeks, the mayor's pattern of behavior has become clear to me. it begins with him checking a woman's availability through asking her about a spouse or a boyfriend. then isolating the women somewhere off where they can talk i would like to read to you the stories from two women who met with the mayor, and

we heard about the koret's foundation amazing con tributionss and i know there have been so many amazing contributions on the st. anthony side. for an affordable housing project for this it takes incredible people and we start with hud, who supplied over $20 million to make this project possible. larry ferguson is here, the director of the hud 202 programs that gets the senior housing funds and an important thing to know about the hud 202 programs not only do they provide capital, but a rental subsidy. so seniors on social security, or even less income don't have to worry about whether they can make a $1,000 rent payment. they pay 30% of whatever they can pay and the federal government helps us make up the difference, so we can keep people housed. there are folks out there who understand why this is not such a great investment. so i want to take one second to tell you about this. we know there that we can save money to medicare and medicaid by housing seniors in this setting. so it's an unbelievable investment and one that i hope we'll keep on doing. [ applause ] i don't have time to thank you everybody at hud, but with
