and while larger events can often absorb these costs and delays, for smaller events, the process can mean the difference between surviving and folding. so today i'm calling for a hearing to review this economic impact study. the hearing that controllers office will study. and we will also hear from the entertainment commission and members of the community on various policy ideas to try to better support our outdoor events. we also sadly have in memoriam today for peter who was member of mta board of directors. he passed away yesterday at the age of 84. peter grew up in brook hin in the bronx. after graduating* from williams college, he enlisted in the u.s. navy naval reserve and finished at harvard law school. 1958 peter and his wife carol moved to san francisco. and for most of his legal career, he served as general counsel at u.s. leasing. as an active member of the community peter served at the san francisco board of education from 1976 to 1980 including as president 1979. he was a 20 year member of presidio heights association members acting president from 1990 to 92. he was on s

sorry and then you basically, you cut the house in half or a quarter you do that to consultant the events the problem is taking the music performance you - it creates a sense your performing in a smaller venue it is not comfortable they have that with the wake field theatre with the curtains they've had success bus little answer to do something that looks at and feels for permanent we're using some walls for example, as as opposed to instead of curtains we're working with an consultant that has done it successfully internationally but in this country all the pieces you're looking at with exception to the stage we've done pocketing work to make sure it is required to support those kinds of events your essentially dropping those pieces down whether the side walls, the piece or the had a a lot port part of the scoreboard and urging a hydraulic system to float over so you press a bottom it moves an whales and you have your lighting a lot of your sound cluster and prornlz it brings the ceiling down at one point we're putting a lid on this this halo piece down to the acidity the lights are situ

i wanted to understand an event on the human scale. i decided to write mourning lincoln because books have drawn on public sources. i also found they gathered personal responses by reading memoirs crafted after the immediate events had passed eded edpassed. all of these are fine sources. the tweet that came in during jonathan's white talk asked what's been the most overlooked part of the assassination? well read my book. in particular, personal responses to the illuminated irreconcilable differences after in the future, after the civil war. yet cure i don't sayly i found many of those portrayed a monolific nation in mourning. 9/11 again. in the days that followed attack it felt like the whole world was mourning and in gruf. in those photos of i saw evidence of something else. i saw evidence of tension and contention. one sign called for peace. another for peace after payback. some signs spewed fury at the peacemakers. others warned mourners to distrust the media. they asked who compromised the in dozens of archives over five years i re

. >> the halo plays two functions when you have a warriors event as part of scoreboard it has statistics or marketing for the arena treat that same is led is used for the fillmore how they decide to use it as apple environmental enhancement to the show and the halo is used to support as i mention lighting and sound a means for rigging the equipment. >> looks at awesome thank you. >> commissioner perez and commissioner lee. >> thanks so much for your preshgs presentation i heard you guys started our community outreach i was wondering can you telling us that's about your process and what's coming in way of the response from the community. >> there are a variety of issues that are relevant to the community stakeholder. >> that would be arena sound mitigation and countryside control and traffic and community as far as bringing people 8 house people to the community. >> i object to address that as you can imagine a matter matter of interest from the community of what we're doctoring we've had extensive discussions with the city with the cracking with the you felt with track pickup after event

a lot of help in the beginning, but the correlation, between the event itself, and the cost of the event, and the impacts, perhaps they are not as clear in this intermediate stage as they once were. >> right. >> and that i would say, going, and you know, going forward, that correlation, is going to have to be demonstrated, i think more effectively, and the event is definitely evolving and i guess that there is some question as to how it is evolving and what the, participation, the financial participation should be going forward. >> okay. >> jonathan with the mta, and thank you, commissioners. and just to reflect in this allocation request, this one happens to be particularly high, but within the five y pp over five years we are actually tapering it down the over all sales tax report and based on the feedback that you just gave and so there will be the session expecttation that private fund raise tion happens for this event and the cost is $165,000 and it has gone up year over year and the mta recognizes that and we are working on the bike coalition on a longer term plan on how to make th

[applause] you've pulled off an amazing event. i have been calling home and saying -- you have to see this to believe it. watch c-span, i keep saying, and maybe you will believe it. last night i don't know how many of you were here, on this stage quires from all the black churches, huge quires performing old spirituals in the old way. reverend jones conducted a march symbolic of the living history funeral for hannah reynolds, the former slave woman killed on the morning of april 9 right near here. but no one ever knew where she was buried, so she was given her do here last night. it is the most remarkable thing i have ever seen at the national parks service. frankly. it shows us a great deal of how the parks service itself has come so far in trying to broaden and strengthen the way that they interpret this pivotal event in our history. now, everyone who came in here today, and anyone from the southside virginia knows -- the red lugs are blooming. now, i'm from connecticut, where they are not blooming yet, so it has been special fo

and an anomalous event and reduce the spread of that event. and many are nonmedical counter measures that don't require a structure for vaccines and drugs and don't require logistics to distribute them or training to make them available and usable. the example i gave earlier, an aed used to be purely the area of a trained medical professional and because of technology improvements, rather than trying to make the effort to train the public how to use it, we accepted the fact that the public, from a pragmatic point of view, isn't going to learn. regardless of the reason they simply won't, so taking that as a boundary, new technologies were developed to deal with that as a real-world condition. does that answer your question? >> yes. thank you. >> advisory panel? i'll refer to my colleagues up here. gentlemen? >> i would like to follow up. your thoughts about empowering the people. in the biotech context, what would be the actions that you want the people to be prepared to do. when you think about the '50s and the fallout shelters and the duct ta

we are really focused on extreme weather events. wind, water , fire, and hail. >> and it's all powered by the colossal fans. >> i'm standing in a tropical storm at 45 mph. and that's a breeze compared to category 1 1 hurricane where winds reach speeds of 70 mph. here a wall of fans can generate winds of 131 mph an hour. that's enough to blow down a house. >> what we do here is building by building combat. >> ceo of the insurance institute for business and home safety. and an industry-funded non-profit that recreates extreme weather conditions. but their goal is to change the way that the industry builds and how codes are written and enforced. >> our research is geared towards workable, practical solutions, public policymakers. we want to show people how to build, repair property better stronger against the worst that mother nature has to offer. >> what causes it and what is linked to extreme weather and insurance often foot the bill. >> we've seen $356 billion of insured losses from natural disasters between 2002 and 2013. we do kno

we did not cover that event last night. it is perhaps something you will be able to look for on the appomattox website. they may have some photos if not video of last night's program. live coverage on american history tv, as we see soldiers beginning to walk by on the richmond-lynchburg road. what was the long-term physical and mental and societal a fact of the injuries, mental and physical, by soldiers? what was the impact will be on the civil war? david: the impact on soldiers was absolutely profound and on a scale of almost no other war we experienced. there were hundreds of thousands of civil war veterans on both sides. thousands came out of this war with what today we would call posttraumatic stress, combat fatigue. there are recent books out on that. what a my former students brian jordan has a book called "marching home," which is a withering story of union veterans and what they experienced in terms of sickness and disease and alcoholism and the inability to get jobs. the estimate is, in the union army alone, among

they are -- there is going to be press at you know one event -- at least an event today and an event tomorrow. i would assume there will also be a

we also had a community brokers event right away and brokers event for all of san francisco and that led into our grand opening of the first 2 blocks on june 7th. one of the things we wanted to point out is we keep emphasizing because it's very important to us as it is to you that this is a part of an existing community and we wanted to integrate into it so we did a lot of work with the community to fart ner with the community and we worked with local restaurants and local wine company and all of that. that is what is tied into our marketing and our events that are happening. and talking about events, it's the marketing and advertising that we've been doing is relatively untraditional in that we have not done a lot. we have some campaigns online which are google outwards that drive people to our website and we do a lot of events and education because we think that's important for people to understand what's taking place out there and what we are building and overcome some of the questions that they have wechlt not done any print advertising and we are going into more detail on the ou

he was sued by her government because he wrote a book about the events that took place. i don't believe that he was sued because he he misrepresented. he was sued because he wasn't supposed to share them in the capacity that they did but the reality is that he had very good first-hand knowledge and i think helps us explain the story for folks and to understand exactly what happened. c-span: where is he today? >> guest: he's in los angeles. rekha doing what? what kind of work? >> guest: i know he's writing scripts or pitching ideas to make into film buds i don't know if he is a job beyond that. c-span: and scott herrington. who is he? disco stu herrington was the captain and he plays a significant role because he was at the forefront of these events as we document them. he also helped on the number of levels giving vietnamese out of the country. he was one of the people as this clip shows started black ops in mid-april when it was very clear to him that the country was going to fall and he wasn't getting approval from the ambassador and he started getting high-risk vietna

i havesú to say on staging the events having worked on these events in another lifetime, there are alwaysle who usually tend to come to these in the early days are people -- >> that's not what the story is. they told the press it was spontaneous. they told the press it was unscripted. and we found out that bused them in. they drove them to the event. >> let's focus -- well, bused them in is a little bit of an exaggeration. we're talking about a couple people that rode in a car. >> the clinton operatives spontaneous people. >> we're talking about a couple people. that's standard for people these events. >> they lie about it. said it was unscripted and spontaneous. >> the fact there was a couple people at the event -- there were other people at the event -- >> the ones sitting there three were all democratic operatives. >> that's normal, sean. guaranteed any -- >> don't tell us that. >> no one would ever say there's not a single democratic operative in the room or single republican operative. in the early states, those are the people who often come out. that's typical. that's normal. i don'

i would offer that no historic event has a more complicated place.ory we argue about more than the civil war. from its cause to its purpose to the details. we can't even agree on its name. the war of the rebellion once led by the u.s. official government name. the war for southern independence, the second american revolution. the war for emancipation. probably two or three dozen more. in no other period of american history do we have a historical memory so carefully considered. so consciously shaped. control the universe. ensuring, trying to ensure that particular perspective. my hope is. bear with me some of these questions may seem scattered at first. try to bring them. i want to start with something that i've been thinking about the last year. america preserves battles. suggests that americans that preserve more civil war battles than the rest of the world combined has preserved for all wars in all of history. talking about formal preservation. more preserved battlefield land related to the war p

has this been a pirated event?e would've been pretty much antibiotic distribution and the specific do you think we could've done it within 24 hours? then we look at the information that we had at the moment that we heard about the event and the first 24 hours, 48 hours and you watched how the information changed and you saw that most of the time the initial information was not 100% correct. and evolves over time. so you are dealing with this evolving situation uncertainty, ambiguity, yet you still need act. and i think the importance of leadership is in that type of an environment where the information is never going to be complete but it's going to be inexact. is going to be a lot of ambiguity. you will be looking through the fog. you are going to need to be able to give advice, or someone is going to need to be able to give advice to leadership in terms of options of actions. that needs to be as informed as it can be. so i think having someone like a bobcat like who's been in biodefense for a long time uzbek bob

you can't really talk about things at these events, first of all, the music is blaring. everybody is shouting to hear each other and they're drinking, so i think can i come see you, i would really like five minutes and later on you do that. >> alfre woodard, thank you. and that was alfre woodard, the actress.
