doctor fetter argues that a public benefit is the answer. dr. mark -- why don't you give us an opinion by setting aside the financial and political difficulties. why wouldn't the public benefit help? >> i feel like people need to be given choices. i feel like they need to design things as best fit their situation, and to be given the support they need in a prudent way. so certainly there is a role for government. i think they need to be provided as much in the way of the choices and opportunities -- i think many can to finance these costs, and to ensure these costs they do so. and that is not burden it's not an unfair burden on others for that to happen. and further more, i think they need -- i think it is a strong possibility, a strong likelihood that the private sector with the right structure would design different options and different policy designs that would appeal to, you know, different needs which i think is impossible far public program to do. public programs in order to be efficient and able to be administrated. we're seeing this rig

francisco, and lastly, i would like to welcome the people sitting in the back queues, being a crime fetter, i would like to tell them the god honest truth, this building is very impressive but realistically, public corruption exists in every city, so since you are young and you have your career ahead of you, i would encourage you the fiekt public corruption and let's put it this way, many people in the fbi are getting old and we could sure use some new blood because let's put it this way, the only time we're going to end public corruption is to stamp it out one person at a time. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. president chiu, fellow board members, madam clerk, my name is lawrence flores, the americas cup came and went, obviously we had a lot of labor issues, a lot of challenges but with that, what we need to do is move forward. we need to move forward and make the next event a positive one. and i'm speaking to the one of the super bowl, of sponsoring the super bowl here in the bay area. that's what's important, moving forward on a positive note, learning from our mistakes of

. >> during the course of the war fetters he was seeking weapons from abroad in the use by those vessels how did lincoln and in his administration react to not paid the confederacy? >> this is another topic that i don't get into in great detail is an important topic with the diplomacy it is really important in the first year of the civil war but i don't get into it a great detail because i didn't think lincoln was deeply involved than or seward and he did this in my goal was to look at those things that lincoln was involved but there are definitely books to be written maybe it is your next book about the spy wars because there was a lot. spawning and counterspy and confederate ship building and trying to prevent the ships to escape and being outfitted elsewhere on the union's part to prevent this from happening '70s were not resolved until well after the civil war saw it was lasting and important but in my view i am not sure how much that tells us about character of diplomacy but i am not sure about lincoln. >> you have mentioned seward and several occasions what made him unique for this

university rises with race and race creates the prestige of the university so that raise ultimately and fetters universities. we said these are church schools, denominational schools. we break free of the church in the nineteenth century. and largely because they now have the capacity through science to make secular arguments. >> host: they start with non secular funding and support and as they progress and become more influential they break free of that and align themselves with pseudoscience. >> guest: one of the key elements is the rise of racial science that creates a new public prestige in university but the modern university found exactly that moment. one thing i would argue about the question of preparation and social justice is we have to remember that the troubled history of the american university doesn't end when the book ends. it continues into the 20th century because the same racial concept actually come to justify all sorts of new brutality in the modern world and we shouldn't for ted-forget that a lot of those ideas didn't have their origin on campus but got their legitimacy on

so where i wanted to start is to ask you, doctor fetter, can you tell us a little bit about the financialinstability that selling off assets causes our seniors? >> thank you, senator warren. i think when people talk about seniors relying on savings, i think they are finance long-term care i think they are insensitive to the variety of risks that come with getting older. there's a risk of a concern about having adequate resources to cover your needs. you don't know how long you are going to live. you have to plan for that. there are ups and downs in what happens to your assets, as we have seen painfully with our recent economy. what happened to resources in that period. there's the ability to deal and assist your children in taking on their new lives and enabling them to do what parents did for -- grandpas did for the now parents. i'm a grandmother and look forward to supporting my grandchildren and encouraging them in the education and building independent lives. what your saying that is a one lump. when you use them, they're gone. so you have so many risks including i didn't even mention
