i think it should be done as little as possible. but the stakes are so high that i am not willing to rule it out all together. the last point i would make is that there are problems with trying to legislate in this area in general. and i think that the end racial profiling act in particular is very problematic. i don't think that this is an easy area for congress to legislate a one-size-fits-all policy that's going to apply to all law enforcement agencies at all levels of government at all times in all kinds of investigations. and i think it's also a bad idea to encourage heavy judicial involvement in this area. and these are things that the end racial profiling act does. let me also say that i think that chief gale does a very good job of identifying some additional costs in the end racial profiling act, the fact that it is insulting, the data collection is time consuming, and that inevitably, we're going to either have to guess on -- inaccurately, on people's racial and ethnic background or else train the police on how to identify

as incredible as it might seem they wanted to enlist slaves as soldiers. and even then with national survival at stake, very few were prepared to entertain emancipation as the terms of that service as claiborne had insisted they must. in a tightly controlled, this is a union cartoon of what would happen if the confederacy did it. they said they would make it to union lines within two minutes of being mustered into the confederate army. in a tightly controlled, top down way, that included the public solicitation of general robert e. lee's support, president davis, secretary of state benjamin, and virginia governor william smith struggled but mostly failed to gain the support of the public and congress for a policy of enlisting slaves in the confederate army. the confederate congress did eventually pass a law allowing the use of slave men in the army in march of 1865, but that law explicitly stated that it, quote, did nothing to authorize a change in the relation, which the said slaves bear toward their owners. keep in mind that they were prohibited from doi

far as our as-needed employees. we need to do something about this asap. the hiring problems are problems because they use favoritism, cronyism, and stuff like that. like hiring security that was a former supervisor as one of the employees who was replaced. we need to look at things like this throughout the city. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am a member of local 1021 and a city employee. thank you for letting me speak to one of the jobs that do as a volunteer is sometimes working as a stop stewart. i was talking to an employee on a disciplinary issue. it was an as-needed employee who commutes every week from sacramento. she works the same schedule friday through saturday every week. the grievances based on the fact that they inadvertently changed one of her days after she had been working the same schedule for like four months. they put one day in there and she did not know about it and was marked awol. i found out she was as-needed because she explain

it housed members of congress in absolute comfort, as well as served as the home of several foreign ligations. its proximity to la fayette square made it the residence of choice for the elegant and wealthy members of society and government. during this same time, james' sons were actively combatting the long established discriminatory practices in commerce around the district. one of them was ejected from the dress circle of the national theater. james t. wormley felt as long as he could pay the price of admission, he should be able to sit where he wished. this conflict was reported in the major newspapers of the day. in another instance in their fight for civil rights, their effort to eat in a downtown restaurant was challenged. when he attempted to join his white city colleagues to dine. as part of their struggle to enhance education for blacks, william h.a. wormley had been named to the first board of education for d.c. schools for colored children. and there after, the consolidated board. during his tenure, he attempted to enroll a black child in what was a white school building near her

as i have said at the outset, we have to do a lot of balancing, but i am here to be as sensitive as i can about all the issues that are raised. clearly, each and every one of them seemed to touch a very strong feeling about why i have been mayor, both on an interim basis and as an elected mayor of the city. it does not get easier, but i have great minds here who are joining me in this attempt to balance it. i would like to say there will be some responsibility on your side as well. balancing the budget is one thing. there will be some choices that you will have in november, and i would like you to consider your approach towards our parks. you will have the opportunity to vote on the bond with that. you will also be given other choices as well to help in making some decisions that will move our city forward. at the same time, let me warn you about some things people are doing that might hurt us. there will be in our neighborhoods people passing around something called sustainable water environment. read through it very carefully. some people want to say take down hetch hetchy. do not h

now as well as are over in the u.s. we had the home prices dropping sharply in february to hit the worst level in nearly a decade now that sounds a disaster but is actually not as much as what investors were anticipating take what you can see on the screen is relief now there's talk about europe because it's all going on we've got the french situation the neverland situation in civil concern all this whatever to close about francois hollande that he wants to renegotiate follows euro membership with painful spending and how the members have to make but burdens foreign minister. just says those terms aren't negotiable about set up a bill raising route between the two linked spins of the single currency so it's handbags at dawn is how to look at the european markets they're coming to the end of the day and as we can see the footsie and then they also dread the name value so investors showing their optimism ferry much in days now until america's she's come out with some comments recently saying that it's all about balancing

the red flags of the communist party as well as they played cards and did ben as have been flying high here in michigan sway in moscow with slogans saying a decent life in their parliamentary election as well as russia heated up this gathering here was an old apology to party members talking to them members say that if you want to be a false reckon with in government we also want to be a very strong opposition party to the communist party didn't do so well in the recent parliamentary and presidential elections with the lead as you've gone up only taking in seventeen percent of the country's vote and even declaring that these elections were not a they were not rich men and that they were not transparent ponting now wants to revive things a little bit to be looking at the lefties movement to try to shake up the communist party as all its leaders have done the only time will tell when his leadership and the communist party will which way it will head to the will have to wait and see which of the up coming days what they decide. this is r t live from moscow still ahead for you watch what y

and it's something that, as policy makers, as mayors, as school board members, as state representativesas members of congress and so forth, that we have a role to play in making better policy, but it's also an individual issue. you know, at some level, the individual has to try and rise above it as well. >> hinojosa: and one of the things that you're doing in san antonio which i think is really interesting is that you're actually trying to put the political and the, you know, personal together. you have decided that as a mayor, you want to take on the issue of latina teen pregnancy. san antonio has the highest rate? >> one of the highest rates, yes. >> hinojosa: one of the highest rates of latina teen pregnancy and one of the higher rates... highest rates of multiple pregnancies for latina teenagers, if i'm not mistaken. >> that's true. >> hinojosa: now, a mayor inserting himself into that issue-- why? >> because it's important for the future well being of the city. >> hinojosa: and how do you figure that you can tackle this thing that has been, you know, a problem? how can a mayor... a

still very light traffic, as well as 101 through marin.ula ride looks great, also on interstate 280 you'll find no delays between 92 and 85. daria. >> thanks a lot, george. >>> 5:31. now to our developing story, the search for missing teenager sierra lamar who was last seen march 16th in morgan hill, search crews found her cell phone and her purse a while back. but they didn't tell us what that evidence yielded and it turns out they do have some clues in the case now. kron4's will tran is live in morgan hill with the very latest on what they know, or what they might know. they're not really saying much. reporter: they're not saying much, darria. they say it's part of their ongoing investigation, but they said all of those items, the cell phone, the computer as well as the bag, the purse that had her clothes neatly folded inside among other things. those things were sent to the crime lab. they got the results back. they're not going into detail because perhaps that evidence, dna evidence will lead them to sierra or whoever abducted her. the

experience of people is as good as can be and as rich of and experience as it can be. the plan has a number of recommended policy guidelines as well as recommended code changes to insure that we have active ground floors on all the new major developments, for instance, by eliminating the expense of this of lobbies and ensuring we have active retail uses and other public open spaces, the on these major new tall buildings, that we shape the buildings to define the pedestrian experience and the experience of being out on the streets a

so we really want to be as prepared as we can be. we are committed and dedicated to being as prepared as any city in the country. and i think someone once defined preparedness as the amount of time it takes to get the necessary personnel and resources in place to recover from any calamity. and here in san francisco we are absolutely committed to having that period of time as short as possible. his time before becoming mayor, mayor lee was actually the chair of the recovery body to engage public-private partnerships, get infrastructure to be more quickly restored, and i know the p.u.c. is absolutely light years in front of where they were years ago with regard to layers of re dunden as i to make sure we have water and we just had fleet week last year where the military assured us the dal is a nation process via reverse osmosis is capable of making sure we have water to drink here. with that said, we'll get on with the program and keep working hard to keep san francisco prepared.

and of defining objectivity not as balance, but as honesty to the evidence. and it seems this is something that historians have tried to hang on to. and i think the knows of notion of objectivity as impartiality or neutrality or balance has become a kind of scourge particularly with respect to broadcast journalism. i know there's a scandalous remark available on the internet still from jim lehrer who win asked about this, what he considered his job to be, responded that it was simply to prevent -- to present the two different views on an issue, of which it was assumed there were always merely two. so here's one side that believes in global warming and here's another that doesn't. this sort of thing. so i find this to be a troubling tendency in contemporary journalism. i also think we have as historians longer memories. and that will be useful, too, particularly with respect to the recent history of the national security state. for example, the united states has not declared war on anyone since 1941, and yet we've fought many wars in that time. most historians

continue to indorse finding as well as supplying arms to the rebel fighters this is nearly going to inflame the situation and the violence on the ground. bahrain security forces feinstein gas and water carried out thousands of protesters across the country it happened on friday about only became known a day later the vents in the country are currently hard to monitor times traitors marched in support of a jailed human rights activist who is serving a life sentence for taking part in last year's anti-government uprising has been on hunger strike but eman sound is being treated in a military hospital journalist and antiwar activist don de bar. last policy highlights contradictions in the western attitudes to human rights which washington claims to defense of syria. look at the role the united states is playing in bahrain when they've been claiming that they're in syria over human rights and they were in libya over human rights and yet they are suppressing human rights and really it shows that president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton are hypocrites their wives you have a

far as the u.s. washington says it supports the plan but at the same time they kind of expect it's failure here is what secretary of state hillary clinton said the u.s. is preparing for the potential failure of kofi annan plan to end the violence in syria and will take additional steps against the syrian government if it does russia on the other hand sees kofi annan plan as the only way to bring about peace in syria and the you want observer mission as crucial to verify whether everyone is committed to it just this tuesday the rebels blew up an army truck in damascus there have been several attacks around the mass because in the same day all targeted at the security forces several people were killed so you still have well armed militia there who are of course no match to the syrian army but according to the plan they too have to abide by it they too have to stop killing. bolstering peacekeeper numbers may fail to make a difference in syria u.s. based political analyst to smile hossein says washington

countries continue to endorse funding as well as supplying arms to the rebel fighters this is merely going to inflame the situation and the violence on the ground took a poll worker from the future of freedom folk ation spoke to us and says the syrian rebels and washington will not give up their pursuit of regime change if you have a cease fire where the rebels are under their cease fire and say ok we're we're in we're no longer going to engage in violence against this regime then what was the point of starting the rebellion in the first place and so it's very likely that the rebels are going to use any kind of a cease fire to consolidate their position and continue with their goal the u.s. for example is pressuring the assad regime to relinquish power they're doing it under this hour of democracy in freedom or this is this your piracy we know that the u.s. loves a dictatorship they just sent one point three billion dollars to the egyptian dictatorship they support the dictatorship in bahrain because of the u.s. military base near what's involved here in syria it is a dictatorship th

we are overweight in utility as well as telecom services as defendive areas, with the offensive includingials. on the other hand, i will tell you, we did a survey about ten, 11 days ago, most hated grup out there was utilities. investors just don't like the group. too defensive, all this. but it's got yield, other attractive features. >> how can we forget. the mantra is, i don't need to grow my portfolio, i just need to protect what i have and they buy defensive issue like a utility that pays a dividend, by the way. >> also lower grass prices, with gold price answers lower stock. and unfortunately, or fortunately for them, we have to pay for electricity to light our homes to watch our television shows, including cnbc. >> right. >> do you like enveloergy at th point? >> we are neutral. er with worried about natural gas. for those producers. but there is also concern about premium in energy and specifically is that faulter we could see it impacting the broad spectrum so it's an area i want to chase. >> natural gas, this may get out of your area. natural gas at $2. don't i think longer term,

this image, even as it said our constitution is not traveling as well as the it used to be doing. some of these stories are traveling very well. we have sold the translation rights to washington's crossing in serbia-croatia. i was invited to lecture in china and discovered a handsome twole twole -- two volume edition of my book in mandarin chinese that my publishers didn't know about. new meaning to freedom spreading through the world. what i want to do is invite you to look closely at this painting. and to think about what is going on there. this was the work of a german immigrant to america, went become to study painting, in germany. and then after the failure of the revolution of 1848, he did this painting to inspire liberals in europe primarily with the revolution that succeeded against long odds. and then he -- he came to america. and the painting begin to travel here. as well. and -- the, americans, love to celebrate this painting. they also -- love to debunk it. americans invented that word, debunking in 1922. this inspires some really world class debunking. people have gon

we want them to get into the mainstream as far as banking is concerned. so and while hayes valley has done a beautiful job with no formula retail, there are many other streets like chestnut and fillmore and 24th street and union that have a blend of banks, formula retail and neighborhood services and they seem to be doing just well so i'm not sure that the entire success in hayes valley is -- can be attributed to the fact that there isn't any formula retail and it's also a very small area, too. i think each neighborhood has to decide for themselves. and the other thing that's a little disturbing is if we have a medical marijuana dispensary, the level of approval is a d.r., which is a lower level of approval than would be the case for a bank or financial institution, which somehow the priorities are wrong there as far as i'm concerned. i mean, i would suggest that we make this a d.r. you still get process. it's -- neighborhood is noticed that there is a financial institution going in and it's brought to the planning commission and what happens is, you know

i want to be as clear as i can about that. my responsibilities as trustee is to maintain the people that i need right now to -- to help administer a cost efficient and -- well administered estate. so there are -- 15 employees. these are noninsider employees who worry about tax, who worry about -- financing, unwinding transactions, they're all working at this point on salaries. the three senior executives, who have been, i believe, before the senate -- are working also on salaries. if i have to negotiate with any of the -- employees, the noninsiders, 15 employees to stay on board because there is a $22 million tax refund that i need to get for the estate, they have the expertise and experience, i will -- i will set fair and competitive salaries with them if they -- if they don't agree with that. that's not going to work out. i want to remain -- transparent as i must in this bankruptcy process. everything i do is subject to -- to review not just by the trustee, but bankruptcy court. all the fees and expenses have to be reviewed

i would suggest this emerged earlier as soon as the moment as objectivity became a moment of reporting. there is a large literature on joe mccarthy in the press. he would put out an outrageous story and people would deny it and would you get both accounts without really time or the capacity to investigate the truth of his claims, but he would continue to maintain the media spotlight. this is not something that is just a failing of individual journalists today, but an inherent occupational hazard of the aspiration of objectivity. on a similar point, i wanted to ask about the notion of consensual narrative of existing today. particularly rick's example of wmds in iraq which turned out not to be true. i would challenge the notion that those were consensual narratives in the way that anti-communism was. i read lots of people who take that perspective. reporters put this in their reporting for the good papers. maybe not so much in the broadcast sphere, but i would say the difference is those arguments, which i think we tend to support. that is a more economic perspective and the skeptic on

so as long as there is this kind of ak big ut, they play up that ambiguity and try to get as much as possible from the powers, foreign powers, et cetera, et cetera. in this scenario where there are all these uncertainties, the approach to afghanistan is cautious. is much more insulation if there are guarantees to get some gains, we will. otherwise we will insulate ourselves. there's quite a lot of skepticism in terms of what would be the future of all of these things that i talked about. let let me just end -- and i'm sorry. there is really no time to go through the policies of each of these five republics. it is in the paper. each of these countries have given some indication of their interest in the political settlement, playing a role in that and in economic. so it's all in the paper and you will see that they are quite divergent because in each role they play their own interests. so finally what would be the final solution that would be good for the region? if you have a scenario that there's u.s./russia corporation, that increases, that's the solution they would absolutely love.

we'll get a read on that as well as how the fed may work around that, simon. on the issue of which camp bernanke is in, i would say he would want to do more. all other things being equal. and would be in the even if camp. but i think he sees the politics and i also think he's afraid, simon, of sort of using that bullet in case there's something worse coming from europe or another shock to the economy. >> yes, in public he's as we saw recently, he's -- at the moment he is stressing the downside risk. that's the public face that we get from him. which is a little contrasted from the fomc overall. >> yeah. he is definitely ramping up or emphasizing the downside to the economy. taking a bit of criticism for that as well, simon. i think what we'll be watching for not in these minutes but in the months to come, april is the big meeting where they're going to have to decide what to do with twist. i'm thinking it's probably 50/50 that they don't continue it now. >> what time are the minutes outs? >> 2 p.m. >> excellent, sir. >>> a market update with bob pisani down at

it is not as scary as you think. you don't have to do all the new technology or social media that come out. you have to do one. i recommend facebook or twitter. if you had to choose one. or you can link the two. free advice for those who might be trying to figure out how to i promote myself? do it responsibly. you want to know what is going on in the world around you. >> she is absolutely right. social media is not a club and not a panacea. it is the relationship. it is a way to talk to people and let people talk to you as well. another question. >> that was a really great panel discussion. i google literary agents three weeks ago and visited some and the culture you are talking about i completely picked up on. it through me a little bit because i used to work with artists. i wasn't expecting that as much. my main question really is from what i understand, book readings are the main way to promote books and get the word out but with more bookstores closing down is that something that is a common trend for more online

as mr. gates if libya fired missiles in the united states, would that be an act of war. my friend virginia is a very articulate and intelligent gentleman. he never got a straight answer. i hope that you will prevail upon the administration not to take those kind of actions as they did in libya, whether it is justified or not. i will not get into that debate, but in my opinion, that was really kind of a snub of congress and the responsibility of congress based on the constitution. >> i can assure you that as long as i am secretary, we will not take any action without proper legal authority. >> thank you very much, and i will yield back my 39 seconds. >> your service is both an inspiration to us and a blessing to our country. we thank you very much for it. i want to congratulate the administration on your success with russia and china, moving into a very different place on this issue compared to where they were just a few weeks ago. mr. secretary, i think the data you gave us about the exchang

those leads now extending as far as mexico.e isabel cellis vanishing from her parents' home in the middle of the night, how police hope a surveillance video showing people near the girl's home may lead to some answers. trace gallagher live in los angeles with more. >> reporter: just like we did in the baby lisa case, you have to focus on the timeline, the parents put isabel to bed at 11:00 at night, at 8:00 the next morning when the dad woke her up -- went to wake her up she was gone. the neighbor next door said she heard commotion at 6:30 in the morning, male voices outside of isabel's bedroom. now look at this map. they are focusing on about 1:30 in the morning, that's when a group of six people left a local club and they walked through the church parking lot. see the church? it is only less than a block from the cellis home. as a matter of fact, as you walk through that church parking lot, you can see the cellis home. look now, if you will, at the surveillance video taken from the church. now, at 1:30 in the morning, the the

ford or easy legislation, as important as it is. i would like to thank my co- sponsors, supervisor carmen chu and supervisor olague, who have been starlet -- to have been a stalwart supporters. andre in my office has done enormous work as we go to the process making sure various concerns have been reflected through amendments. and i would like to thank the planning staff and my constituent who is here today who played a huge role in getting the ball rolling on this important part of our planning code as well as anne- marie rogers and scott sanchez to have done a lot of work on this. it has truly been a team effort. we have distributed amendments which are primarily cleanup and typographical errors and ensuring consistency within the legislation. in addition, one amendment i would like to point out that will not require continuance, but i want to knonote it, in the the upper market and castro neighborhood commercial district, a conditional use authorization would be required for alcohol and intensification, going from a beer and wine

tight as we would like. at the very least, let's deal with benefit corporation that are regionally impact all. that is just my thought on it. supervisor chiu: i am happy to suggest, if we could, if the committee wants to move forward with this, to put in those amendments to limit this to a three-year program that would require another affirmative vote by the board of supervisors to continue at the end of three years. i think i would suggest that the three-year time period, three years after the effective date of this, which cannot be 90 days until after passage, and then the additional language around the bay area non-san francisco businesses, as i described. i am happy to work with you and your office on specific language to address that. by the time this gets to the next hearing, we have language before us. supervisor chu: i think that makes sense. i do not know what the other committee members think about those suggestions? supervisor avalos: i think those makes sense. supervisor chu: if we can, i will ma

as we know, the evidence was not there as far as an ironclad case. a lot of it was circumstantial. just know that president obama, when the time came for him to make a momentous decision like that, he took the action that did bring the man to justice. >> but should it have been in the political realm, do you think? >> i'm just going to be advising the president on a daily basis about what i think is in the best interest of the united states' safety and security. >> and, finally, one of the promises the president made before he came into office, that he would close down guantanamo bay prison. that has not happened. will it happen any time in the near future? >> we are determined to make sure that we're able to bring justice to those individuals in guantanamo through either transfers to other countries, other areas -- >> when? >> you know, we've had some dealings with congress, and congress has not made this easy. and so what we're trying to do is to make sure that we do this responsibly. the president said he is going to close it down. he has continued to be determined to do that. b

it's tragic as the civil war proves and it takes a long time but i do believe that as long as we are awarded to that ideal expressed in the declaration of independence that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights as long as we adhere to that that is what makes us exceptional not that we are great but we strive to be good. >> my wife is from ligon chaim france tomalin was ty at texas university and she was probably the most a political person in the world. i did have her read my book and got a shield of approval but you won't see her out there any time soon. she's one of these people that i think likes to sit back and take in information and act on a more quiet manner. >> you talk about one of your first dates friends invited you over to see. >> a friend of mine was a big friend guess who's coming to dinner was one of his movies and she was relatively new to the country. she just arrived in texas for her semester abroad so we watched the film and afterwards she approached me and wanted to know what the fuss was all about because the movie

the club-like hotel had a reading room as well as baths for customers. it was unusual for the large number of enslaved people. however, given the sumptuous dinners and lavish setting he offered his clientele, he needed a large domestic force. the census records list him as having 45 enslaved people in 1810. the advertisements tell the story again of any involvement of the slave trade. during the years 1810 to 1818 he asked for 32 to 36 people to work in his hotel. he notes he prefers to purchase rather than hire enslaved people. some of the advertisements specifically request people from the country as opposed to urban slaves which he considered spoiled and prone to running away. however, it could have been due to the fact that an enslaved person from the country may have had fewer connections and would have been easier to sell. the runaway ads also demonstrate gadsby bought and sold people. for instance, we know from a jail ad, basically an ad that would say come get this person, they've runaway, he sold a 20 or 21-year-old man named william to a slave

well as in nursing homes as the population ages. >> all right. dr. chernof, how can we do better without spending more? >> chairman, so a couple of observations. first i'd suggest that you're asking a specific question about what can we do better now. and i observed that there is also this other question of how do we plan better for the long-term. so i want to address my comments specifically to your question that what is it we can do with current systems to really improve them given what we know. i would observe if you were to look at our long-term services and support scorecard looking all across the country, and then the road map work that we completed with the center for health care strategies, looking at the steps to improving systems, whether it begins with rebalancing, moving to managed long-term services and supports, or creative models around

far as we can -- as far as we can tell? it is my opinion that at the time this story broke in the last, you know, year, with this intensity that even though james murdoch was where he was, that rupert murdoch had clearly not decided on the question of succession. what do you think? >> well, it is interesting to see that this week lock land murdoch was in london and has no duties over any of the london properties, within news corp, he does no business case for him to be there, he is supposed to be running operations in australia, but he was there first of all by his a brother james side and by his father's side. and so there is a sense that the family has come together, but going back to john shake experience's analogy we have this king lear scenario of feuding between the siblings and, you know, great personal distress, heaped on of this extraordinary business story and how that is going to play out. it is almost impossible for anybody outside the family to really predict but blood is thicker than water in this company and

first, let me say, do you agree that our critical infrastructure today is not as secure as it should be? >> senator, i do. >> and second, and related to that, several studies and experts have told us on the homeland security committee that critical infrastructure operators are not taking in some cases even the most basic measures such as regularly installing patches or software updates or changing passwords from default settings, and those are pretty basic and known vulnerabilities. would you agree with that assessment? >> i think those are basic vulnerabilities. i would say -- i would add to that we see that in a number of cases in other areas as well. >> in addition to just critical infrastructure. the reason i'm focused on critical infrastructure is obviously if there's an attack on critical infrastructure, the consequences are so much greater than if there's an attack on one particular business, even though that, too, can have significant economic consequences and cause many problems. so third, my third question is to try to better define the roles. would you agree that the depar

transparent as makes sense as we can f. to be as consistent and fair and to let all the members of our team know what we're doing, why, the direction we're going and to solisit their engage in the process. >> thank you. >> chair will now recognize mrs. richardson for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. according to the notes that i have here, dhs began inspections of tier one facilities in february of 2010. by september of 2011, you had performed only nine authorized inspections and as of january 23rd, dhs had only completed 53. are those correct numbers? >> 55 now ma'am. >> out of how many that needed to be done? >> the overall number -- >> your mike is not on. >> excuse me. the overall number that would need to be done is about 4500. the tier ones are about 110, 111. >> so, of the 55, do those all come out of tier one? >> yes. >> o a. in light of that, how do you, how are you planning on being able to complete all of these if we've only done 55 and 4,500 need to be done? >> the current plan is that we will finish th

as quickly as possible.naudible conversations] >> again, if we could is have our second panel come forward and be seated, i really appreciate all of you taking time from busy lives, and if we could have order in the room because i'm introducing the second panel. pete dougherty is the acting executive director of va's homeless office. a former committee staffer, good to see you here. he's accompanied by lisa pape and maura squire, a homeless veterans' outreach coordinator and chanel curry who is a u.s. army veteran from ohio. chanel, i want to thank you for your service to our country and your willingness to come and share your story. so, mr. dougherty, we're going to start with your testimony, and then we'll have ms. chanel curry give her remarks. >> thank you, chairman murray, we appreciate the opportunity to be here with you and senator burr and senator begich. this committee has been a great aid to the effort the department of veterans afears have made -- affairs have made. in the opportunity to speed thi

of detecting voice, motion-sensing, as well as a video camera. what this program, what we've done is commissioned 50% more programming to be shot, integrating it with the produced production of the sesame street program that's produced each year. they produce about 40 hours of linear programming. taking the additional content and combining it with the linear, children are able to interact and as i describe can throw a ball toward the television set and actually the ball magically appears on the television set as though this nonexistent ball, for example, just suddenly fell into their television set. something that was previously impossible to do. and what we're doing is we look at this as a seed for showing others, this is what we can do. this is what we've done in other areas. which is when we know the technology, what better way than to demonstrate it? so i think it's the beginning stage of being able to have producers produce the content that is available for children to be used in this fashion. as you said, the same with health care. there ar

low as 300. now, it was in '08, i always remember, and i carry this with me, secretary gates stated as long as others have nuclear weapons we must maintain some level of these weapons ourselves to deter potential adversaries and to reassure over two dozen -- that's about 30, as i understand it -- allies and partners who rely on our nuclear umbrella for their security making it unnecessary for them to develop their own. now i would like to ask if you what kind of implications this would come up with in terms of our outlies, those 30 other countries that are defending our umbrella if we were to voluntarily bring it down 80%? >> sir, i make a couple of points. first thing i would say is, as i said earlier, we don't start with numbers. we have been starting with strategy, objectives, national security objectives, et cetera. the study that you referred to is still ongoing. there are no conclusions have been reached yet, and so it isn't appropriate for me to comment on the study. stratcom has been a fu

and i wrote notes as quickly as i could. we need to look at organizations with geopolitical and political ties i think is something that you said in the course of that. you've heard testimony here from congressman elison and others about what is happening to muslim americans across the board and many of them are not affiliated with any specific organization. they are affiliated with a faith. and it appears that that has become a premise for surveillance and investigation. i worry, as an amateur student of history how you could television what you just said from what happened to japanese american in world war ii where 120,000 were rounded up with no suspicion of any danger to the united states and their property taken from them, detained and confined because they happen to be part of an ethic group which just attacked the united states, the japanese, i should say, attacked the united states and, therefore, they were branded as possibly being a danger in the second world war because of some connection they have with a politica

as much as an advocate as you are and a passionate advocate for access, you also understood all of the different things we as a government have to contend with. i always appreciated your thoughtful approach and i know a lot of us will miss you. but our loss is the aclu's gain. supervisor olague: i just want to thank you for all of your work on behalf of persons living with disabilities and seniors and your office, which you lead and everyone else there who i have learned a lot from. i just wanted to acknowledge your staff and your leadership. thank you. president chiu: before you speak, why we finish the formalities in adopting this resolution. we have a first. is there a second? let me ask if there is any public comment on this matter. seeing none, public comment is closed. walter, did you want to speak on this item? >> ♪ thanks for all the mayors disability work you do, a suit. we really do appreciate it. ♪ thanks for all you do it. the mayor thinks you, too. ♪ we thank you for all you do, sue. [applause] president chiu: unless there is any more public comment on this item, public co

a court is only as sound as its jury and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up . i'm confident that you will review without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision and restore this defendant to his family. in the name of god, do your duty. in the name of god, believe him. [applause] >> what you heard was a literal translation of the book word for word, and we have to remember that this book was written just at the onset of the civil rights movement. so we're going to talk about this book. we're also going to talk about the written word and how powerful it is in terms of our perceptions of the justice system. so i'd like to now ask our first panel to come to the stage. >> how's that? [laughter] >> well -- >> hi, mary. how you doing? >> good. thanks. how are you? >> great. so we have here via skype, she's live from new york city. i always wanted to say that. [laughter] >> and mary is the author of a book about "to kill a mockingbird" that a she wrote last year, "scout, atticus and boo," and she's directed and produced a film about "to kill a mockingb
