himself as a slave. and then lincoln completed his story. and now i am so free that they let me practice law. lincoln's humor drove home his point about the getaway but masked the scar. calling himself a slave was not a slip of the tongue. it was not just another of his funny stories. though he made it into a joke. he truly considered himself to have been held in bondage and escaped. lincoln rarely if ever talked about his feelings, even to his closest friends who tried to discern the sides. he hid his depths beneath his simplicity. his authenticity was not deceptive but a veneer nonetheless. he was simple in his dress, manners, in his approach and his presence recalled william herndon, his law partner. he was a man of quite infin it silences and was deeply secretive, uncommunicative and close minded as to his plans, wishes, hopes and fears. i venture to say that he never opened himself to mortal creature. well, it was no wonder. his captivity as a boy he felt was humiliating and degrading. imprisonment

writing is as old as recorded history. thousands of years old, but how people talk, what talk sounded like, how people related to each other through speech, we do not know until radio and television came along. i wonder the extent to which the radio and television has contributed to helping us all to learn to talk to each other in new kinds of ways. it used to be said of television that it killed talk. i cannot think of a more idiotic thing to say about television. radio and television gave everybody things to talk about, above and beyond their own experience, in ways that hitherto had been simply impossible. >> we have a question in the back. our last one. >> this may be more of a comment. maybe we should follow up and have a chat, but what you said got me thinking when answering the gentleman's question about, what is radio. it resonates very much what you are saying about the real-time and the rhythm and experience of daily life, on the other hand what you described about the immediacy and sincerity of the voice over th

much as 45%. these funds are vital to helping our communities better prepare for disasters and terrorist attacks. in boston for example, we already talked about critical grants in preparing the community to respond like they did for the boston bombing. i know raising these fees is not always popular with some of the congress but i also felt that if something is worth having, it is worth paying for. that is why i support a reasonable fee increase that will update us and help us carry out the mission. there will be roughly $900 million hold in the budget for tsa. $900 million. that is deeply concerning. i hope we all come together and find a sensible solution to this challenge. despite these areas of concern, there are a number of positive items included in this budget. i mention a few of them. for example, there is a sizable investment, over $1 billion dollars in cyber security. there's a 30% increase over last year for the budget. this will help the department carry out several that they have help

as well as the rest of the state.t is based on knowledge imported mainly from grape written, which has undergone an agricultural revolution and known industrial revolution. i think of washington as an early advocate of the internet. having of such a thing he would have been a huge advocate because he had a gentleman named arthur young agriculturalists innovator from great britain are advocates of gathering all the information he possibly can from farmers all over europe and america, classifying information, publishing and disseminating it for everybody. there's another element here which is the problem of slavery. slavery should not be relegated as a side issue and there were slaves, too. slavery was certainly integral to the development of washington state, the work in the labor of the enslaved men and women who were on the estate helped to create a more fundamental to creating washington's wealth. washington's relationship with slavery was problematic and that he grew up accepting slavery. it was what he knew. he be

to me, biodiversity means having as many species as much like in an area as possible.herbicides are the very definition of them . herbicides bean plant killer. when you kill species you lose biodiversity. something i think is important to point out and if you talk to the scientists, they'll agree with you, the herbicides that are being used do not selectively only target non-native species. they are broad herbicides. they kill everything they come in contact with. they kill not only plans but they have toxic affect on animals as well. mammals,, insects and each herbicide is different and you can read all the details on each one and understand how they affect different flora and fauna but they affect pollinators. they affect if you spake garland on native california poppy or-it will kill those plans as well. so, herbicides do not relate to advocate for the fact that herbicides do not support biodiversity. they distort biodiversity. that's the main thing i want to say. i also like our speaker earlier, i also moved to glen canyon area for the candidate i love that. i love

soon as possible. a recommendation that my staff had been making since late april when they first found out that corrosion control was not being implemented. that should have solved the problem. it did not. during the weeks and months that followed, mdeq was slow to deliver on our agreement from july 21st. and the city of flint was hampered by a lack of institutional capacity and resources. epa responded the only way we could. by working within the cooperative federalism framework of the safe drinking water act. that framework assigned legal to states to implement drinking water regulations and gives epa the job of setting standards and providing technical assistance. so in keeping with that framework, we provided technical support to the state and the city to implement corrosion control and to provide the assistance that flint residents needed to limit their exposure to lead. most of the time this cooperative federalism water works well, even in a crisis. in fact, it worked exactly the way it's suppos

>> so as you know as well as anybody in this room, this is a lot of conversation about the states' lack of capacity to be able to take on what will be just by definition more work, right? i mean, the balance, the pendulum is swinging, you know, to some great degree from the federal government to the state government and on down. what will the department do to attend to the capacity issue? >> so, you know, i think counselor of -- [inaudible] school officers has jumped into this work eagerly. tony eagers, who's the chair, made equity the theme of the year, and i think they're very focused on it. we're trying to work with them to think about technical assistance that we'll provide, that they'll provide to states. i think one of the keys here is that the state level conversation needs to be robust and needs to engage educators thoroughly. this is not about making tweaks to current systems just to satisfy the new law -- >> to get a check. >> -- to get a check, exactly. folks see this as a compliance exercise will miss a very important opportunity. it's good that there were hands that went up

higher as well. this view is implicitly reflected in participants' projections of appropriate monetary policy. the median projection for the federal funds rate rises only gradually to 0.9 percent late this year and 1.9 percent next year. as the factors restraining economic growth are projected to fade further over time, the median rate rises to 3 percent by the end of 2018, close to its longer-run normal level. compared with the projections made in december, the median path is about 1/2 percentage point lower this year and next. the median longer-run normal federal funds rate has been revised down as well. in other words, most committee participants now expect that achieving economic outcomes similar to those anticipated in december will likely require a somewhat lower path for policy interest rates than foreseen at that time. i would like to underscore, however, that the participants' projections for the federal funds rate, including the median path, are not a plan for future policy. policy is not o

as is customary they contacted leadership offices as well as the senate judiciary committee.and in those staff-level conversations, senator grassley's staff indicated to the white house that would be prepared to schedule a meeting after the two-week recess that the not? will be getting at the end of this week, that obviously is something we believe is entirely appropriate. it certainly is i think the most basic expectation that people would have for a senate judiciary committee chairman when a consensus supreme court nominee has been put forward and so we're hopeful that that that's something that will be scheduled. i think the one thing -- you know, senator grassley previously today indicated he mused outloud about whether or not somebody was listening in on his phone call with chief judge garland. i can assure you that, of course, is not true. it was a one-on-one phone call. but, you know, i would hope that despite political differences that chairman grassley will fulfill his responsibility and be able to work with the prowse to at least begin the process of scheduling a me
