and the neighbors expressed concerns about heavy traffic blocked driveways, etc. and you know they were told we are really careful, with work site and we are very conscious of the neighbors, and we will give you 24-hour notice or could even work with your schedules. none of that has happened. the neighbors were concerned about you know when work would start, that sort of thing they were told that work would not start for at least six months. and in fact, work started immediately. and there was an exterior wall completely demolished without a permit. since january, 2013, there have been 16 permit applications not counting electrical and plumbing, and for the project and the projects continue to grow and expand over the past year and a half and as commissioner walker alluded to, this is real serial permitting and the first big permit was not only the counter, and that permit applied for march 6, 2013, new space of a creation of an office, media room and half bath and laundry and wine room. second floor expansion and half bath interior remodel and second third and fo

begin internet video streaming services, thus bypassing the traditional media -- broadcast, cable, etc. that is our topic this week on "the communicators," how people are getting their tv, what's the future of tv. joining us from the new york studio are two leading analysts of the telecom industry, craig moffett and michael nathanson, and they are partners in the moffettnathanson research firm. mr. moffett, let's begin with you. what is the impact, what is your initial reaction to what cbs, hbo have announced, and then add onto that netflix and apple, etc., all these other different services -- what is the impact on the overall television industry? >> well, those are two separate categories, really. the new ones, hbo and cbs, my guess is the impact will be somewhat limited. on the other hand, the impact of some of the ones that are already here, like netflix, has already been very profound. i think what we are seeing here is a real change in the viewing habits of millennials. they are simply watching tv in a very different way than my generation watched tv, and you are starting to see

you solve some of the was niques that the cia considering -- waterboarding, extreme privation, cold, etc. signatory to the commission against torture. as a lawyer, homicide did you think about this before he signed on? >> ffirst i have to say, half jokingly, you've asked me more questions than that senate committee asked me about it. was a scholar in national security law before the 9/11 attacks -- let me say, before 9/11 attacks, it was a small, small area of law. i had read about what great ira ain had done with the terrorist problem. a e israelis also had terrorist problem -- there were even judicial opinions in israel about this issue. i knew that democracies with legal traditions like our own had to use tactics like this -- maybe not the exact but similar ones because of the same difficulty that we had. we had a need for information in a timely way. i think the hardest way, we are all familiar -- all this on the we w for sure, as americans, all know the law enforcement system. these ing about interrogations -- we needed information right away. with law enforcement, you have the abil

., etc. and, of course, the combat medic which is so important to saving lives on the battlefield. we have 217 graduate medical education programs in which we produce physicians with advanced capabilities. we have advanced nursing programs which produce nurses with advanced capability. and one of the important issues, getting back to our connection with american society, is if anyone thought that we could outsource this and produce, generate the medical force we needed, you need to just understand a couple of things that are changing in the american medical education scene. is today as we speak -- so today as we speak there are a bunch of senior medical students who are scurrying around the country looking for residency programs to do advanced training. it turns out today because of a lot of factors, there probably are are going to be about a thousand fewer positions available to train in than there are going to be american medical graduates. what i'm suggesting to you is that the ability of

with fleeing violence, fleeing lack of economic opportunities, seeking to be reunited with parents, etc. and almost none of these kids have ever even heard of doca. in addition to that, if they had heard of it, doca would not have helped them because it effected people who were already in the united states for several years. the relationship between doca and the spur of children coming is non-showing. >> will there have to be full comprehend of five-year date certain to be eligible to be covered by this policy. >> i disagree on the fact and the law on the prior statements. so look, whether the individual doca arrivals knew they were coming here because of doca or rather the folks that had hut in place the mechanisms to bring them here, and the advertising that was going on in mexico and central america saying that the united states is open for illegal immigration. if you get there just tell them you're surrendering, and they'll let you stay. but it begs the question as well. the harms here are texas is alleged and includes the harms to their employment base. we're talking about adding 4

they would not say anything for fear of reprizes, concern and etc.act they are talking is a significant change. we do know they are eager to get in there. >> is and a a lot of airlines down on what airlines are doing. and john? >> we haven't heard from jebb bush yesterday although i think he me a have made comments to local reporters there. but you can expect to hear. i think the signs are first of all when president obama twice carried florida that we reached the a typical point in that state. not only a are --. they are now not a barrier either to a president making a change of this kind. remember those first generation immigrants are getting older and older. they are being replaced with cubans who don't understand just like younger generations of the united states don't understand past political struggles that those of our generation or older than ours felt very deeply. that shift has made it possible for this to happen. and i think that is likely to be the case going forward more broadly. i heard from -- as i mentioned before, sergio benedic dixo

like rocco rubio says he will stand in front of nominations, etc.iticians in places like alabama that really want business, agricultural trade with cuba. and the chamber of commerce, the corporations that have felt they are prevented from going to cuba by corporations from other countries around the world have a leg up on this. >> that is a good point. i think we should be clear that the pro-embargo elements in congress has become much more bipartisan than it was say 10 or 15 years ago. half the black congressional caucus, which is uniformly democrat, now votes in favor of the obama -- sorry, the embargo. that has been a product of very carefully targeted pac contributions over time. so -- i say we can expect this nowuse the congress is republican-controlled, that doesn't mean a lot of democrats don't support the embargo. it just means senior democrats like pat leahy, dick durbin, who traditionally took out these objectionable amendments and conference, legislative conference, won't be empowered to do that anymore. it is a misapprehension of think d

by the late 1980s, the fbi look through your bank account, your bills,etc. you even say, there was a hertz rental truck following you around day and night. why do think they did this? >> economics. problem with the fbi, bbut when i came to washington, i do not have a problem with fbi. started the minority program, of shifting millions to the minority community, 3% to 47%. it seems strange, the fbi, should have welcomed me building a black middle class. i got 47% of votes from white people in 78. i got into office, i knew it, but had not understood it, in the black ems community. in the white community, they do not need job training. they do not need job placement, they've got jobs. they do not need excellent education system, because they kids to elect someone and pay for it. of my barry haters, i'm to do a favor ou -- no, i'm going to tell you, i'm not offering. >> you do a minute, the were clean in the 80's -- alcohol, drug use, and a couple of affairs. you do admit that. not hard to admit. it is the truth. what happened to me,that one night, i should not

do and i really was trying hard to look at layers of stevensons and different views of family life, etc., and not only do just a political biography of some of the best known stevensons. c-span: did you ever meet any of them? >> guest: yes, i did. the most prominent stevensons that i met were adlai stevenson ii's sister, that's buffie stevenson ives who was really an indomitable figure and she's the one i think who was partially responsible for the fact that the stevenson archive now numbers about 700 boxes of material. i guess every family has someone that cares about the past and she kept her brother's image alive. and one way she did it is to keep all of the records. she died at 97 in 1994. and the other stevenson that i'm grateful for his time and his insights was adlai stevenson iii. illinoians know him as their senator during the 1970s. and he returned to illinois in 1980 and ran two losing campaigns against jim thompson in '82 and '86. and now he's retired from politics. c-span: there's a chart in the front of the book, if i can find and show the audience, of the family tree. >>

we have had great support from peter thiel, kkr, etc..ofin revolutionizing the whole consumer banking industry is what has really worked. we have assembled a great team, great organization, and we have executed. >> explain to me how the business works. what fundamentally do you do for consumers? >> today it's pretty simple. we have a core product, personal loan product that is unsecured. we allow consumers to spend a couple minutes on our website, via their computer or mobile phone, to submit a simple application. in real time we will give them a response that says if they are approved or declined. they can get funds the next business day. over the long term, we hope to continue to build our business in new markets and new products to continue to serve more needs for the customers. >> how big are the loans, typically? >> on average, $5,000. we will lend up to $20,000. >> rates? >> they start at 19%. our goal is to use advanced analytics -- >> 19%? >> that is lower than what most credit card rates are. >> interesting. i talked to peter thi

we are cultivating and machinery construction, etc., besides the oil and gas sector, but the contract you mentioned, we wanted to implement it. you are incorrect when you say no one is responsible, the minister for energy has had multiple visits to iran and invited partners here. it was a difficult process to look for a compromise and mutually accepted solution and a solution has been found. the calculation is very difficult there. there is a whole range of problems but on the whole we have solved it. it needs will from both sides. the contracts need to be beneficial for everyone because not the government will be selling the iran oil. the companies will do that. we have to make the contracts beneficial for them. we are interested in it even do though it is difficult and will continue to do that in order to find the ways to expand our turnover. of course we will work together with our irani partners to solve the nuclear program of iran issue. i believe we are close to finding the solution to this problem because the leaders of iran are demonstrating great flexibility, i believe. i do

claim and is going to be examined extensively about everything about personality and mental health and etc. and this includes someone being cross examined as well about their sexual practices with their spouse or partner. in a criminal case, a confidential informant is going to be rigorously cross-examined to identify who that person is. even if they are fakes. we have legitimate and can serious concerns about impediment to a fair trial and this is why we have the pilot and these are the many questions that we are looking at in that we hope will be answered for us in terms of guidance and best practices whether it is possible for a judge to use this and yet not impede or impaired someone's right to a fair trial. >> the gentleman's time has expired, but please would you briefly like to respond? >> i would hope that we would not shoot the messenger. there are no less than four cameras in the courtroom right now. that is what happens in the courtroom. that is what my experience has been. so in new york doing this experiment, there is a telling statistic. on the fact that someone did not recei

there were ships that had supplies and cannons and more people, etc., etc.. there was a safe haven. these are all rough approximations. obviously the native americans do not keep census records. by 1644, when they do it again, the populations are roughly equal, right, and they only kill 500 colonists. only 3.6 percent of the population. not really impressive. what do the numbers alone tell you about 1644 in virginia? >> disease has wiped them all out. >> disease has wiped them all out. in combination with wars and native american slave trade. you are even. the chance of pushing them out are pretty darn slim, especially because four years later you will have 14,000 englishmen and african slaves. and the powhatan numbers will continue to dwindle. let's take a look at another example. king philip's war. proportionally, one of the most deadly wars in american history, right? they're going to lose roughly 5% of the total population. this is the population -- roughly within all of new england. this is another way of saying the people -- it like a term for native americans. roughly 10,000.

target ,ndicators in the social area covering the broad range of social issues such as pensions, wages, etc. there is no doubt, if the situation goes on developing unfavorably, we would have to make some adjustments into our plans. we will have to review something, to curb something. there is also no doubt, as experts say, if you go into the , and thed the growth outcome, the bounceback is inevitable. because the growth of global economy is going to maintain, the rate might be slower, but the economy will continue to grow. our economy is also going to bounceback from the crisis. how long will it take? with the most unfavorable scenario, it would take two years. i would repeat, the growth is inevitable. the market situation is going to change. with the growth in the world newomy one would need energy resources. over this period of time, we would actually achieve a lot from the point of view of diversifying our economy. life would make us diverse of five. there is no other option. we could not function otherwise. i would repeat, there is no dischargere going to all our undertakings based on t
