he's someone who reached out to us because he couldn't get anyone else.last year, budapest, the czech republic had gone from a leading country in central europe, leading the region in laws and in the constitution of equality 16 years ago to a complete reversal today. it's got one of the worst records today of the deprivation of rights of women, roma people, jews, and lgbt people. sound familiar, that grouping? i was not prepared for what i was going to find in budapest. i was not prepared for the thousands ofneo nazis and state sanctioned militia that would meet a couple hundred marchers, thousands of them. * there was one young man, 21 years old, young hungarian, who would be the only person to go on tv with me, only hungarian, malan would take a blow horn and walk through the streets against families that hated us, and he walked and he shouted and he kept the morale up as we were walking against this sea of people who didn't like us because we were representing the inclusion and diversity that we so much cherish here. he was inspired by the story of my

senate republicans refuse to confirm anyone. they've been filibustering every nominee from the president which then forces the president to make recess appointments so that the board had enough members to actually function and issue decisions. ah-ha. but then three republican-appointed judges on the u.s. court of appeals for the district of columbia said those resource appointments are unconstitutional. and the supreme court has now agreed to take the case on appeal this fall. but until they do or until mitch mcconnell actually allows the president's full package of five nominees including two republicans, two republicans, the president is nominating the republicans won't let it for a vote. until mitch mcconnell gives them a vote, the nlrb is in limbo. now, why would anyone want the nlrb to be in limbo? big business wants nothing more than for the nlrb to not issue decisions, and conservatives want nothing more than to just quietly destroy and render permanently inoperable the government body that oversees labor law. they want t

would that affect anyone else or impair anyone else's mobility? sense that was a question regarding what previous events i've been to regarding pedestrian and bicycle safety and people are disabilities, not being aware that bicyclist are coming through. would this device assist people crossing the street from a public island over to the curb or not. that's my one question, thank you. >> thank you. up next we have herbert winer. >> herbert community stakeholder. one of my concerns about the transit effecting this project is that it's really endangers those and the handicap and those who are ill because they'll have to walk longer distances to get public transportation. this is in effect with the bus line which runs -- which no longer runs near park boulevard. people either have to walk a block to catch the one california or the [inaudible] line. and this is not the only bus line that's effected. it affects other bus lines. it was knocked down which ran directly to saint luke's homes. and this is brought to mta constantly and brought to the attentio

anyone on the panel like to address that? >> there's a term i like to use, it's called identity safety. identify safety means not having your identify taken from you. we think of identify safety on the computers and our credit cards and stuff, but actually if you have to walk in and leave your identity at the door, it's being stolen from you. so identity safety is what we naed to make a priority in our schools. it means getting to know each other's backgrounds, it means valuing each other's backgrounds and getting the parents involved. i think the schools are doing that to different degrees and we have to keep working to build that relationship. ironically i was an english language developer and they are calling you to make sure that your children have access to the supports you need, but ironically it comes across backward. anyone who has a second language listed gets checked with to be sure they have the services they need. >> right here. >> so i've been taking notes and one of the things that i run a community center in th

[laughter] she is terrific. >> she's a very good shot. she has been hunting in wyoming. took down a white-tailed doe with a single shot. >> i like that justice scalia said she could've done that in his driveway. >> she is an amazing speaker. she likes the dramatic form. i saw her and chief justice roberts recently in indianapolis. the chief was going to be the keynote speaker and she was there to introduce him. he is a superb speaker. he went up after her and said, i have to follow that? she isas really revealing. something. >> one example with justin kagan's terrific writing, there was a case that did not get much attention on the 24th of june. it was the day camp versus the united states and how to categorize prior convictions for sentencing. she was talking about the subcategories of crime. she resorted to the include -- think of colonel mustard with the candlestick in the conservatory. this is not what you usually get in the supreme court decision.

and his own imagination became very important because there wasn't anyone else to play with. he grew up in san francisco and it was a relatively simple life. his father worked for the hotel supply company as a designer - he started out as a sweeper at 16 and ended up . he also loved poetry that he he read a lot and as an only child that's what happens you tend to side things on your own time. of course, no television. he went to the movies every saturday and watched those action pictures. those were very important to him. i remember cartoons and action pictures were you a part's of his childhood. anybody else >> he was a physicist. we knew they had drawing nights with my parents and another friend of theirs who was a psychiatrist. my parents adored them and when they diet it was a great loss yeah. >> why did he decide to join the marines. he wanted to be a pilot i'm glad he wasn't. he had terrible allergies and they wouldn't accept him but in the mid of the war he was drafted so he joined the marines. he was in officer candidate school and dropped his didn't think the day he

. >> anyone else have anything? >> i would support a continuance. >> okay. >> are you suggesting to revoke the permit? is that a viable option? >> it is. >> there is no permit holder so there is no hearing without a permit holder. >> here is what was suggested by the captain is we can have a hearing based on what they have and we can make a ruling today. i have deep respect for his view here and we could do it the way that we would have a hearing without the permit holder and revoke. but we have a problem with the process. we have a police department that had a flawed process and it's probably not going to be in dispute. this permit is going to be withdrawn. we expect that. it's not withdrawn, there is a problem with the process. we have to go through that process to make that process right. but in any event. we are not going to have, to the extend we have a motion on continuance or we discuss a continuance, we will allow everyone that really needs to speak on this subject to have an opportunity to speak on the subj

we weren't aware of anyone under 12. it was listed out on the contract. we hired alp security for any minor whether it's sweet 16 we want to be careful so the procedures we had 6 security guards. 2010. i hope this complete lack of judgment and incomputable actions doesn't completely destroy >> okay lieutenant what do you suggest. what's your recommendations to us going forward? >> i think they need to do they're due diligence in everything. they did they're out reach. they did everything they were supposed to do up to this meeting up to that event. we don't discourage bad business we cash register good business and i think if they continue to be a good business but this is disturbing. the officers who drove by spoke with jason and the officers called me and says he has to cancel it? so they have to make those decisions for themselves. i think as we going forward they need to disclose the event. i think it was, you know, and self-admittedly it was poorly managed and in effect prior to the incident it went i guess according to plan they miss managed the coa

crackdown on anyone. for different reasons and we've seen this happen in the past even in the eighteen month interim rule of the military so many of us actually feel that there is many of us are expecting a lot of human rights violations in the context of the army basically saying that it's trying to defend state institutions and it's a very dangerous. deadlock that egypt will be leaving will lead to the muslim brotherhood calling for outside intervention. doesn't go down the path of syria as they put it is that likely to happen and it is not a danger. it is hard to believe that. anyone is interested in escalating the situation in egypt by the means of international intervention i do not think anyone any party any outside party would like to meddle between the army and the muslim brotherhood right now no one in the region that ended not been seen can afford. further instability in this country instability in egypt is going to trickle down to the rest of the region and i do not think anyone can afford to s
