etc.. how was taiwan going to work out, the chinese wanted us to remove our forces in taiwan, and if the president was willing to do that if he had a vietnam agreement. >> giving incentive for the chinese to lean on the vietnamese. >> it finally came with the formulation that everybody seemed to like, including people in taiwan and china. chinese on both sides. >> one china, two china exactly -- china. >> exactly. they recognize there was one china. we had a defense treaty -- >> with taiwan. taiwan is the biggest trading partner with china. there's a lot going on, intercommunication. >> during that week there were three sets of talks going on. one was nixon and joe discussing the world. one was kissinger discussing the actual wording of the shanghai communique. one was rogers and his counterpart, the chinese foreign minister. that was all about what we call the nuts and bolts of the relationship. trade, travel, immigration legal issues, immigration etc. >> >> we had none of those agreements

etc. and the problem is that the economics of cybersecurity are not wholeell understood. we believe that means using voice over and the protocol is cost effective along international supply chains and mobile devices and bringing your device to work. one of the things i heard you say was you were going to take a step back and look at the bigger issues that were supposed to -- like information sharing, is there any prosspect the committee may hold a hearing specifically looking at the economics of cyber security in the broad sense that i just described and we are interested in? >> possibly. i want to talk about regulatory reform in terms of the economic impact. there is estimates of $100 billion annual. keith alexander said this was the greatest transfer of wealth in history. people have a sense this is a costly problem. it is true from being a ceo. you want to invest capital in new products. and i think for far too long ceo's ignored it. that is the it department. i don't understand it. but

we have all the changes proposed no time no time to discuss it, etc. etc. i can give you many examples december 19th no to accommodate changes proposed unless we accept to cancel the receive meeting i felt this was not right to treat us that way i felt we should communicate better and we should stick together and talk about it because it is really impacting our lives numerously the privacy from their deck they look into our bedroom upstairs and downstairs now i have to close my curtains it didn't have to have a square block that's where everyone don't one scare box its cost effective but it is disturbing to me for san francisco look for me obviously with the light and the other neighbor both of us we have difficulty reading the plans perspective is too small we have to have magnifying glasses and we're not cell phone people it would have been nice to have been more compassionate we have certain things that don't work properly anymore it is overwhelming for us absolutely and not the fund to have proper representation and lawyers and engineers and architects

etc. >> yeah surveillance and civil liberty and we should agendize. >> okay. >> that's that's what i that's what i suggest. >> colleagues anything further? please call the next line item. >> public comment. >> okay. public comment. >> hi i'm awake now and i've heard a lot of great things tonight and first of all there's a book at the library and in january and of course it got stolen friday night and i'm looking forward to getting my books back and also i've engaged in a, men's progress program over at glide and it's it's it's 52 weeks. that's a year. so i'm going to be learning a lot about violence and men not to violate themselves their children and family and their neighborhoods and also my teachers left who teached me computers and i'll be twittering you and facebooking you because i can i can do that now. >> awesome. >> i thought i should say that now because i'm here and i'm also interested in the president and national crime and justice and civil oversight task force i think that's very important because a lot of people want to be involved in making this a better community and

., etc. to give us the tools to help you and us 09 thing i want to ask the supervisor is this draft reds as it stand in front of us today talks about the policies that you mentioned and i should ask you, you are the original for we can indeed recommend approval of it today or are we basically do we have 0 recruit everybody. >> we're going to have to make changes for example, the amnesty program has not been 106rd out we want you to support it but the memo outlines it in terms of the practitioner was wasn't in the resolution if you want to support a exemption of one person it would be good to include. >> okay one thing to ask the supervisor i'd like that to be a discussion between you and some of the siren practitioners i go to practitioners who own the business they use more than one table that's partially i was the methodology or one comes in and another one leaves there's an ability to have two tables. >> awning u you mean the sharing of a room. >> a single practitioner using u using two ta

her performance evaluation suffered, etc. etc. that led to them pulling the trigger later. it is not unusual -- pimm: hang on because we want to bring in the attorney janeen yancey who joins us by the telephone. she's an expert in such cases. what can you tell a space on the headlines you know about the case. >> given that the jury returned a defense verdict, it is clear, as i said just the other day, you have the same facts and the defendants are giving you one version and the other, they clearly felt like the defendants story was the more credible story. alix: what kind of appeals can we expect in a case like this? >> you will get an appeal from the plaintiff. alix: what is the process for that? what might an appeal be when we are looking at kleiner perkins fighting off a gender discrimination bias? >> the process is a lengthy one. they will start to look at the whole record, the trial record and identify issues that are appealable issues. you're looking at a couple of years at least to see the appeal through. pimm: cory johnson, i know that you are standing outside of sa

coal oil cotton, etc.. alyssa found her niche in carrying any kind of cargo that did not require getting to market at a fast pace. >> watch all of our events from galveston, saturday, march 7 at 12:00 noon eastern, and march 8 at 2:00 p.m. eastern on c-span3.

etc. etc. and so the idea is that you, you basically have to have a diagnosis, of diabetes and not prediabetes and that is how specific this and we hope that we are doing it first on a small basis, sthaoe so that we can control the different factors including all of this clinical stuff that the physicians and the hospitals get nervous about how we are going to be sharing that and so we are developing all of the components and all of that review process. and so, if a person is on a special diet and they have diabetes and they are welcome to participate in this. but it is a commitment of 6 weeks, and we hope that the people who do it, not only see it as a benefit for them but possibly for a benefit for the community to begin to offer this kind of service. >> commissioner? >> well, i know that 30th street has a pace site there on the same campus, is there any inner face given the hipa complaints? >> there is no interaction, because pace has a strict compliance and licensing and what we will d

as far as getting along with the americans, they did not feel we were territorial, ambitious, etc., etc., and the russians would be. this was a motivating factor. >> we think about the triangular diplomacy. we think we were running again. but what you are implying is the chinese were looking at this triangle to see if they could find in your lines. -- a new alliance. >> and the u.s. was someone they could depend on more than the russian part of the triangle. said why don't we gang up on kissinger and said why don't we gang up on the chinese? that was summer of 1969. >> when they were having tensions along the border. >> there were study memos being circulated and talked about. they were hotly debated. there was also a big argument within the community in which i was involved which discussed the question whether or not nuclear castration of china was possible by russia. >> this was back in the soviet union. several of the top criminologists told nixon you should not move toward china. it will hurt our relations with russia. so he was being told not to move to china because it could hurt

., etc. does that exclude insisted that whole iran dill street and the way it configured isn't that an extraordinary circumstances or is that finding will talking about something else. >> so if that's the case wouldn't it be met? >> in my opinion it is the extremely the fact their smaller not rectangle linear lots if you, we had another case fairly recently it was very similar in the sense that the lot was smaller than the standard san francisco lot but not you know i mean, i live on a key lot that is smaller you know and the issue foosz there should - was that xoerl being a fact it was smaller i said no i was, of course nobody agreed with me (laughter) i'm sorry but you know, i - have i voted for vapors before, yes i have you know but perhaps a question of how one applies the definition to only a couple of words within that i know that's what is in that. >> and we don't have to say yay or nay but compromise for negotiations. >> okay. >> on that basis i don't need any further discussion. >> o

we found a press organizations national press club's, etc., and the industry itself did not open up to women and minorities until the 1960's. the gridiron club owners institutions opened up to african-americans before it opened up to women. as i understand the story, it was kay graham, the publisher of the washington post, who decided at the urging of other women to boycott the gridiron club until they opened their membership to women. that sent a shockwave through the organization. the old-timers tell me that there was no event and gridiron history that caused more eternal -- internal division and discussion. they relented, and women have not only done well in the gridiron, but also been president. they are wonderful members like everyone else. even us old stodgy male conservative throwbacks to earlier times come up to the 21st century every now and then. >> wear to the name gridiron come from? clarence page: the name comes from the motto of the club. gridiron singes but does not burn. that is satirical humor to the political figures that we harpoon. the gridiron is an important symbo

l'enfant lost his federal city lots, etc. he is eventually taken in by dudley digges in what we know as fort washington, where he resides for many years. when digges dies, the land is inherited by his niece, the daughter of one of the original federal city commissioners. she hated l'enfant and drove him off the land. he went to live with digges' nephew in bladensburg. he welcomed l'enfant. i don't how his wife felt. she was the daughter of the man whose house l'enfant took down brick by brick because it was built into one of the circles of his plan of the city. george washington fully supported l'enfant in his decision, though not in his action. you can see the letter washington wrote to daniel carroll in an exhibit opening at george washington university in march at the new albert small museum at the new university museum. two exhibits from albert small's collection, including this letter. l'enfant dies in 1825. he is buried on this plantation in the slave cemetery in an unmarked grave. they were able to find the exact skele

., etc. one other point i want to highlight is that and this is the first photograph on page 3 jessie points out we're impacting new contributes to the bans those limits or bans need a legislative record stating the corruption concerns exists in the city and that this measure will act appropriately to attack that concern this needs to take place certainly before anything is placed on the ballot just to hostile a fire amount of work i'm happy to work with the starch we'll put that together before we reach that and commissioner keane maybe correct what may happen at the board we need to take a look at the evidence and facts arrest i suppose the first step graft something like that proposed language you want the public to adopt for the purpose of limiting the contribution to the committees correct. >> that's correct i mean we'll start off with proposed language that maybe tweaked or amended as we go through the legislation record process you know the one other time i'm aware of the noiths put it

ordinance that is on caption tricks for people that receive public benefits such as a tax boimentsz, etc. prop j required the city officials to monitor to make sure the donors hadn't received as staff indicated prop j was repealed and proposition e waltz put into law the right side digest satdz it desolates prop j and that proposition e about accomplish goals by eliminating gifts and contributions but those provisions will be gnarling tailored to accomplish and in addition the ballot argument in favor

., etc. now since the sentence has happened this prevents him from running in the next presidential election. you have to remember that this sunday the members of the opposition had voted in karim wade as their presidential candidate for the upcoming candidate. but given the six-year sentence he will unlikely be able to run. >> still to come, a year on after the first reported case of ebola. >>> some success for former french president stay with us if you can. only on al jazeera america >> the stream, >> your digital community >> you pick the hot topics and express your thoughts the stream it's your chance to join the conversation only on al jazeera america >> stay with us here on al jazeera. i'm david foster. these are the global headlines. yemen's government asking for military help to bring the country under control. president abd rabbuh mansur hadi has been trying to governor from the city of aden after houthies take control of the capital sana sanaa. >>> and a potential presidential cand

etc.. in the theoretical sense of what conservatism is is drawing the line at today's extension and once that becomes taken for granted which collectively saying we were for that all along so increasing martin luther king, even embracing the right of women to vote although in coulter said maybe they should have taken away because that would be better for conservatism. [laughter] >> but this is what all conservatism bar across the country so they have to pay lipservice to the things that are taken for granted as a part of the american patrimony. so when this is a tribute to the markers for justice that we all celebrate and conservatism has these sorts of liberal rhetoric going on. in a book in the 1990s was called shadow liberalism so they were fighting to preserve social security, fighting for a great greater civil rights, etc.. which in the 1960s it was a communist plot for all time so that's kind of why you need to develop whistle politics and i think a couple -- the >> people forget and

they don't hold turf wars etc. but there are also concerns. obviously profit motive to killing is a serious concern. moral hazard lowers the barriers of entry too complex for policymakers could i do want to dwell on the slide. we can can discuss this in q&a but there is great benefit and any risks in the question is should we use contractors moving forward and how to maximize the benefits and mitigate the risk? what i want to really focus on today briefly are looking for it. i have identified four trends beyond afghanistan and iraq. the first trend is industry is not going to go away when the u.s. leads afghanistan. a multibillion dollar industry its chief consumer leaves finds new clients but we don't know who they are going to be. this is going on right now. also the fact that the u.s. has used its industry for 10 plus years has legitimized it in national relations de facto. it has created market to force around the world. the second trend is this industry as it searches for new clients is becoming more globalized and is proliferating. we ar

., etc.. this is an era of herculean effort. there is the gw in the first bridge to go through washington's crossing. and a guy i had hardly known about when you pulled away what captures you is the deck but the swiss immigrant knows if you can handle the load but it held one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. he was interviewed at the end of his life but he built every major bridges in new york after that. and his wife said gw was always his baby if he would always bowed his head every time he would pass. so it reminded me of building a medieval cathedral which was a spectacle the when you throw up the frame of the skyscraper where the birds don't like these little manner of there working on the steel frames. it is urban theater people would come with binoculars to watch them. they would call them the sky boys of lots of them were mohawk indians coming from the reservation from the st. lawrence river and the but commute and they threw up those things and people were claiming that the

of vendor that have tactical ways to get into google whether the food we're buying or the fortune, etc. so again in order to continue to grow innovative we need small businesses to thrive wire only focused on the buildings of the capacity what we do was build a hybrid of diversity programs a non-traditional programs we have two polarized one getting inside of google and the second one building their capacity that is specifically through the accelerate with google academy we're going to go into detail the entire mission to insure that women veterans and lgbtq businesses have an opportunity to gain contract with google and you know the last thing we help them good online not as doing the right thing as joe mentioned. >> i want to highlight so i want to highlight the founder of great great oil that makes business similar to google we started in a garage about a year ago she thought that was a hobby and at faerments selling her grain oil one of the employees found her but product and wanted to feature the micro kitchen all the google's employees try the product she moved into a large facil

., etc. and the believable didn't legalize unless they find it is illegal. >> no, we do if they've got rooms built without a permit and now come in you could technically legalize the habitual rooms but not considered another dwelling unit but a bedroom connected to one of the unit if there's no plans that's only i'm speaking on what i've seen in the past it is no different from a single-family home with rooms on the ground floor someone want to convert to a local bedroom but has to meet the codes. >> the fact there's no permit code history. >> they're saying they have having an existing bedroom that quo would have been misrepresented in that case you'll order all the micro film and this old ground floor came from i don't know if we have enough here in the package to tell us that so. >> that leads to my question we know there are additional rooms down does that permit encompass those rooms down or just the room that the tenants are ininhabit now. >> i saw something in the brief about another p

into our documents that we share with you so our budget variance report and 10-year financial plan etc. and this is showing the policy that we set is set to meet or exceed 15 percent of our annual revenues and 15 percent of our annual expense and the 1.25 debt service cover ratio and generally means 2 months worth of operating reserves and what that means is we have a cash kush a a cash cushion of 2 months reserves and we'll be able to repay the bonds. >> in terms of of the objectives that we had at at the time and they remain just as relevant today to maintain operating reserves from and protecting the rate payer and making sure you have money set side in your savings account and it's good for long-term planning and so no need and in terms of of progress we've had lots of success in implementing this and since 2011 we've rolled this into 10-year financial plans. all of these show that we've been incorporating this policy into our fiscal planning and it also provides clear guidance to our credit markets when we go to issue bonds and the rating agencies and credit markets like to see th

and also a lack of clarity about safe driving and the impact of speed etc. and also common behaviors of people walking and biking which i think gets to the idea that there are rules and expectations of how people should behave but sometimes pedestrians pop out of nowhere they might step off the curb between two cars so if there's some interaction that happens it is not fatal but you know focusing all of this on how these help professional drivers drive more safely. so the first step was to develop a set of standards for this curriculum and i'll come back to these near the end but they are available on the website at sfmta.com slash large vehicles and we had a very well attended press event with private industry the mayor supervisor kim and many of the departments and agencies to announce that we're now requiring at sfmta as i mentioned before all contractors at sfmta must offer a training program that is consistent with these standards. where are we now? we're in the midst of finalizing our script. we have finished our major filming and over the next 6 weeks

we want to be leading by example and working with the california trucking association etc. to find volunteer companies and organizations that will provide this as well. quite honestly i think our hope is that other cities will follow our lead and will start setting a de facto requirement and for the private training companies that train overwhelmingly the largest amount of truck drivers in the country will add this into their curriculums and at that point in time we will have normalized the training and i know the mayor's office are looking at some issues as well on how we can socialize this throughout the whole city frankly. we're going to complete the training program in the next couple of months doing outreach and getting commitments and fed ex and ups and ucsf and said we want to make sure our employees are doing that as well the same with the san francisco pride parade e-mailed us how can we make sure all of those drivers get this training so we're confident that there's going to be a large number of people that are going to opt into this even though not requiring them

etc. etc. and it may show us some areas where we can have improvement or areas for fertile discussion and the ferguson report is showing a certain amount of data showing 63 percent of of the population is african-american but 99 percent of the citations are african-americans so good to have that data and analyze it and looking at it to see if we have room for improvement whether we're having a disproportionate impact in the community and i'm putting it out there and perhaps you might want to think about putting a a committee together to look at what is the data we have and how do we start capturing and analyzing it. >> i agree and i appreciate that commissioner. can you by the next meeting give us the data we have and maybe start that conversation. >> yes in fact we spoke to how we collect data today at at the conference and i'm happy to make a presentation and if you think there's other things we should we should be collecting as well i'm happy to do that in fact the woman that's the depu

coal, oil, cotton, etc. alyssa found her niche in carrying any kind of cargo that did not require getting to market it at a very fast pace. >> watch all of the events from galveston, saturday, march 2 and sunday, march 8 at 2:00 p.m. eastern on american history tv on c-span 3. each week, american history tv's "american artifacts, visits museums and historic places. founded in 1923, the museum of the city of new york's collection contains nearly 750,000 objects. we visited to learn about the exhibit, guildled new york. >> my name is janine falino. i'm one of the co-curators of guilded new york fashion, society, and culture that's being shown here at the museum of the city of new york. a show that happened in november of 2013 and closes in october of 2014. in this beautiful little jewel box of a gallery we've assembled a variety of objects that help the pub luck to appreciate what life was like for the 1% in the original guilded age i, that period that followed the civil war from about the 1880s to about 1910.

we have an auction list which is major newsmakers public or private, celebrities etc. who a lot of people want to invite so that we don't have a dozen members all inviting the same person. we do have an option ceremony where you literally pick numbers out of a hat, which gives you the right to choose a head of other people who you want to invite. it takes a little while but it does work well for us. then there are others who are not on the list that if you want to invite them. each member of the club gets to invite a certain number of people. each member basically starts with 4. as president, i have an unlimited amount of people i can invite if i can afford to pay for their tickets. that is the one benefit of being president he sides being the center of attention for an evening. not quite the center of the president of the united states comes. this is inevitable. how to beget the president there? through formal invitation, prodding and controlling if necessary. find people who know the president and can put in a good word for you. the presidents since glover -- grover
