therefore, the resolution more accurately should have said nato should act, etc., etc. militarization is occurring inside societies, yes, because as inequalities rise in brazil, etc., use the heightened militarization internally just as in the united states. but there is a global militarization which is in a different register. so that's how i would see that. the question of transnational politics, i mean, give me a list of the 15 -- i mean, i'm not the validater of, okay, that's not the thing. you know the example you gave of tear gas is actually related in some way, to me, to the palestine bds issue, and it's related to an earlier campaign 20 years ago that i remember being involved in against -- [inaudible] mines. i don't know if you remember, an olympic mine is a mine that explodes hour horizontally, therefore, decapitating legs of hundreds of people. now you have a hundred people without legs, but they are alive, whereas a mine will just kill ten people. that mine was made in louisiana, exported around the world, used in afghanistan, used all other the place, sold

etc but when you look at our judiciary at the foreign office at the army you don't find black faces you don't find muslims there is nothing in the middle which says they shouldn't be satisfied but they are not there and it's that it's their religion it's. is that the identity of this state is that a religion not nationality and if you do go ahead jump in. so i mean i mean i don't want to bring up i'm speaking as a british citizen it's not true that muslims are not included in the british political system at all i don't know why why so ever saying this when you know it's self-evident it's obviously not true i think we can have a discussion about the nature of secular governments i mean keep in mind also the head of the states in the u.k. is also the head of the church so just look it's just strictly secular in the sense united states says so but please go ahead. just just look at the faces of the members of parliament just look at the list of the ambassadors of britain just look at the senior officials forget about my opinion i didn't express an opinion have a look at their faces and

knowledge necessary to fill mission critical jobs which means that in this time of high unemployment etc the people who actually have the jobs can't find people to fill those jobs which means there's a disconnect between how we are training the next generation of americans and what the skills and needs are so those old concept it's a concept that i think people don't take seriously enough the world the united states we have that we have a graphic up just a big is the achievement gap in this country you know part of the problem that exists in this country is that where our white students were are performing and where our students of color are performing there's a huge gap between them and so that's what we call the achievement gap and the bad news is that the achievement gap hasn't closed significantly in the last thirty years and so part of what we've got to focus on is how do we ensure the kids who need great education the most the kids were growing up in the inner city today you know whose life chances in life outcomes otherwise wouldn't look so hot how can we make sure they get a grea

knowledge necessary to fill mission critical jobs which means that in this time of high unemployment etc the people who actually have the jobs can't find people to fill those jobs which means there's a disconnect between how we are training the next generation of americans and what the skills and needs are those old concept it's a concept that i think people don't take seriously enough the world the united states we have but we have a graphic up just how big is the achievement gap in this country you know part of the problem that exists in this country is that where our white students were are performing and where our students of color are performing there's a huge gap between them and so that's what we call the achievement gap and the bad news is that the achievement gap hasn't closed significantly in the last thirty years and so part of what we've got to focus on is how do we ensure the kids who need great education the most the kids were growing up in the inner city today you know whose life chances in life outcomes otherwise wouldn't look so hot how can we make sure they get a great

nato should act, etc.. militarization is occurring inside societies because the mccaul please rise in brazil, etc.. the heightened militarization just in the united states the there's a global militarization and that is telling would see that. the question of transmission of politics, give me a list of the 15 -- i don't validate -- keys symbol of teargassed is related in some ways to me to the palestinian issue and its related to an earlier campaign i remember being involved income. i don't know if you remember 89 that explore horizontally with hundreds of people. now you have a hundred people without legs they are alive. the most terrible mine it was made in louisiana, exporter of the world, used all over the place, different countries. in a sense of these struggles will always return to where you are if you are interested in them. so what is the point of saying somebody joining the antitear gas movement? tear gas is extensively used. they would join the movement to end the revolution to ban teargassed. th

to have to say i had a tough childhood, i'm gay, etc.st bothers me. >> the idea of mitigating circumstances is in the law clear back if the ancient world which is what i teach at law school. i'm not surprised they put the mitigating factors of having alcoholic parents, and his sister would have to give him a bottle when he was little. i agree with colonel morris davis that it needed to be presented to the judge. but bradley manning is not an adult. he is a child. i think it's important for what manning did. we're better off for knowing the things that we knew, of course many were not secrets except to american citizens, but it was child like in the way he presented this. i'm sure that was probably part of the strategy of how to posture him before the colonel who is going to decide the length of his term. but this is not the occasion for him to say, i'm a hero. it was the occasion for him to say, i wasn't aware all of this would come out of it, which an adult would. >> i have a question for you, jayar. on the one hand this kid is facing 9

one was in their district etc.ut foxcom was in tel aviv-based company and american connections that it was originally from tel aviv in israel. thomas did not want to get in between the two members of congress and he let the contracts that. when i got an error in there are certain of farms did such a wonderful job and i had jurisdiction over the capitol police. those that i don't like this is a bad security aspect. will you hold off on this and i said sure we will do that. jack abramoff represented foxcom. he later became governor of mississippi and represented to the lobbyist. so of course those companies contacted us and as jack abramoff did end haley barbour did and they wanted to see if their clients could get the foxcom contract or the lg see contact but i put up by the wayside. i was serious about the security of the capital. later when they kept getting complaints from members of congress not from haley barbour jack abramoff but members of congress to set i want to use myself. i called the nsa for national se

there are also other parts in those covenants that speak to thou shall not build a fence, a wall, etc., etc., that obstruct sunlight and views, they use that nasty word views, so obviously a building has walls. that's my point there, a building has walls. >> okay, thank you. >> it seems like we're between a rock and a hard place. the issue is whether there's new information for our decision, correct? >> i was the one 4-1, so i think everybody else can speak their mind. >> i guess i have a question in my mind about new being something that could have been discovered prior or really is sort of new to light. >> the standard is they could not have been presented. could we have the -- >> yeah, i would like that. >> sure, i'll read it, except in extraordinary weiss, the board may grant a hearing question if different or material facts of different circumstances have arisen where such facts and circumstances if known at the time could have affected the outcome of the original hearing, the written request shall state, one, the nature and character of the new fact and circumstance, the names a

a use but what i would be interested in is that the people that use, ie, the cutting of the cheese, etc., be within the view, from the window by which the other side of the store would look a little bit more like a real store rather than just more like a merchandise store which is the nature of the lighter stores, could you perhaps put the plan on the screen one more time that we could follow what you have in mind? >> there we go. >> so, commissioner moore, exactly, your point is what we had in mind. right now, in the front of the store, we have glassware that is stacked about 7 foot high in the front window space of van ness and one of the goals is to get that out of the windows and make them so that you can see through into the store again, it works for everybody. and it makes it more pleasing street scape but it gives us a better way to display a product. the food component will go right in this front corner. this is what, this is what you will be looking into to see from van ness, and we will have the food and the deli and the cheese cutting right there in the front and we have lowe

there has been a height of awareness by the therapist in the schools and etc.there is criteria for adult a.d.d that adults want to perform at their jobs, so they may take medicine. the risk of it can raise the blood pressure and the pulse enough that the higher number getting on is more likely to get in a blood pressure problem and several other side effects. now there is no doubt that some people who take these drugs absolutley need them. there is no doubt about that but, what do you see is as far an alternative of what they can do if they fall into taht category? > > i think, when you look at a problem you look at a problem, you look at all the psychiatric problem such as a.d.d.. you look at what modifications you can do such as a diet . more complex no sugars, more exercise. even to children you get them hooked on medicine they can't see the euphoria to exercise. there are other thing other activities, maybe someone can think of of entrepreneurial thing for activies after school for this big rising thing with the kid problems. maybe an idea has just been bor

etc it's attractive to a lot of other countries. yes yes peter yes i think the left is some of the some some people enough romanticizing china bit too much. extolling china's soft power charm offensive in contrast to america's military ism but. down the line china may just prove itself to be a smug of a bully america right now it's just not in position yet to be belligerent but look at what's happened in the south china sea and i want to disagree with you slightly to peter about the cultural factor this won't be a kind of a pain asian. formation against the west because china is. is pushing the philippines and vietnam and japan around so it's not. you know it's not going to war against the west it's going to is fighting for his own survival for his own interests so china is establishing a strong alliance with russia for example which is not a cultural langston's alliance but because together they form a very a formidable bloc because china can use russian oil and russian natural gas as a kind of leverage and russia can use chinese m

legal question that commissioner fung just addressed as to the jurisdiction and the appeal rights, etc., i think i find that the provisions the mou are not satisfactory to me for -- principally based on the standard of review, and the up or down non-ability to modify a decision creates challenges to me and challenges that i can't overcome in the language as written, don't offer that for this board, so for those reasons, i would not be inclined to adopt the current draft. >> i don't have much more to add to that. i think i'm in agreement with what my fellow commissioners have said so far and i also have a problem with the standard of review. i don't think that it's appropriate under these circumstances and i think the value of this board is to have the ability to provide a citizen's review of certain determinations and fact finding, and i think any kind of inference or implication that we are biased one way or the other i think is totally inappropriate and misplaced, so i would not be in support of this mou either. >> i agree with my fellow commissioners, i think there's a reason that t

so under the pretext of this because varies huge military group including the us the great britain etc and out some other countries which is being accumulated supposedly missed a place on the borders of syria that is the navy groups and other military units as a human and in this condition of course the opposition does not want to agree to go to the conference because why do they need it where all the militant for structure will be bombed soon and then they could become the leaders of damascus that this is not just an illusion this is a huge mistake which will not lead to any peace and. calm situation this will lead only to more bloodshed in the civil war in syria. now the fact that proves that someone is willing to floored all the efforts. on normalizing the station like has just told me while we were preparing for the press conference next year the next birds chemical experts of united nations have. started their first mission you. went to a specific district and they were shot by snipers on the territory controlled by the militants so on my say that snipers are shot from some other

doors the employees have to come out and sweep and hose down urine and fecal matter and needles and etc. from the folks who have see sen shally encamped themselves within the buildings, and scaffolding which is almost impossible to secure and we had over the years, four break ins as the people review the scaffolding allowed to come down to the roof and argue and burglar our tenants and so it is a real problem, it is a real problem and they just blieted the block and began to bliet the neighborhood and all of a sudden we have a developer who has come in and purchased the property and taking a risk in terms of trying to enhance the property, and he wants to put the 12 residential units in there which are full of the people who are going to work in the neighborhood and shop in the neighborhood and enhance the neighborhood and revitalize, the neighborhood. and so, belief me as neighbors who are next door and many of us in this group, we know that the decisions in this building are going to effect us the most and we are right there and it is going to effect us in the short run and the medium
