, the equivalent of four-star generals. the law specified their rank order would be equivalent to their relative grade in the united states army in the same branch of the service before they resigned to go south. thus davis gave the top ranking to samuel cooper, who i expect not many of you have heard as, at secretary general, the same position he nailed the old army and now a desk job in risk. davis named his long-time friend elbert sidney johnston, on his way from california but had not yet commanded confederate 'troops. and followed by robert e. lee, who was commanding a small army trying unsuccessfully to push union troops out of the western part of virginia that subsequently became west virginia. davis rounded out the list of five full generals with joseph johnston as number four, and beau regular guard as number 5. when joe nonstop learned of his number four ranking he exploded in earning. all along he assumed he was number one based on position as quarter master general, while the three that davis ranked above him ha

indonesian generals and u.s. generals, u.s.idents have made an art form of evading accountability for murders that they commit. the reason u.s. did not continue his large troop presence in iraq was they were unable to negotiate an agreement under which u.s. forces would be prosecution for atrocities. it was the same issue in afghanistan. a few years ago, the obama administration sent herald pau to an icc conference in africa to try to rewrite the definition of oppression so u.s. could not be touched. israel has been threatening the palestinian authority's not to go to the international criminal court. nobody wants account ability. and of these powers want to be held at the same status in -- standard that the ordinary person would be held. and now general a.m. hendropriyono, one of the biggest figures, is a dominant figure in intelligence in the army, the cia's man in indonesia, he has made these emissions -- emissions and concessions. so now the question becomes, if general a.m. hendropriyono is willing to be put on trial, why

cohen and general perkins. i have had a discussion with the chief. is -- two-and-a-half years ago i'm having a discussion with the general and he asks me, jeff, why did multi- units fail? i said one is the culture of our army. towas just too hard integrate. we have addressed a lot of those on integrated processes. think about executive education. the best way to learn and change the culture of a large organization like the army is education. you need to have a one-school system with a faculty or active guard reserve. that is the only way. my opinion to the chief is we mondays and winds tuesdays in operational commands, but the better place to put the energy is on -- and have the same active guard and reserve, whatever it is. you go to the one school, there's only one school called the army and everyone gets cross pollinated. tradoc is looking at that really hard. >> i will talk to you outside afterwards. >> we have a question on the right side. just kidding. i like the yankees. they're my second favorite team.

so when you become surgeon general, you before a vice add miller, just like the other surgeon generals who are lieutenant generals or vice add millers. so you have to earn the right to be surgeon general and to be an add miller. if you come in without the training, education, and not meritoriously accepting the position, then you have to sit at a table with other real add millers and general did in washington, your credibility is gone, you undermine the very essence of the office of the surgeon general which the public relies on for good information. so, i think we shouldn't make this an nra argument. it really is about core competence says. in fact, i communicated with this young doctor before i went public because it wasn't personal. it's about me and my obligation to protect the integrity of the office of the surgeon general. there are many senior qualified officers that merit, that have served for decades in uniform and merit consideration but because of politidepolitidesati because of the sense this is looking more like a patronage position now, this hurts public health, and at a

president of the general assembly and the deputy secretary general, and thank you people.resident for organizing this meeting to address ebola. i have listened very carefully to the statements by dr. nabarro and then by anthony. and i have here visiting with me the person who has been appointed by the united nations to help us fight this in the countries. i also have with me my incident management for the ebola incident. let me go back again to say i have listened very carefully to david nabarro and to anthony and what they have said have clearly described the situation in our country and the need that we have. so i don't need to go over those things again. i do want to say, however, that ebola has taken over liberia and we are trying to build the health system. the ebola is a bump in the road of our health care delivery program. when it is over we don't want to have a big beach at the end of it or behind it. the information seems to say we are coming to get rid of ebola. i want to remind you people, all of us, that ebola is in the health system that should be less stronge

the now four-star general needed a new job. his term as chief of staff was over. >> mcarthur was highest in overseeing the creation. >> is he still on active duty as an army general? >> he goes onto the retired list, but he's being paid by the government of the philippines and roosevelt knew what mcarthur was getting. >> on a long voyage, mcarthur met a petite woman from tennessee. >> jean, as a young girl, was very independent. she made several round-the-world trips. >> i found a lovely basket of flowers from general mcarthur to me. >> pinky fell i'll. and happiness had to wait. >> the general's mother died. >> with jean's help, he slowly began to return to his old self. >> she was the one he could sound things out on. >> mcarthur spent his days working with his chief of staff, dwight eisenhower. jean grew especially closeeis r eisenhower's wife, mami. >> i drew down to mami's apartmentmented and we talked for hours. >> one day, mcarthur had an aide escort jean to his office. nearly everyone was surprised when they married in

it means second generation carefirst of u.s. citizens american-born children. >> is there a third generation as well? >> yes, there is. >> so your printers came to the united states? >> yes, my mother and father came over 100 years ago. and there are family stories as to why they came. but certainly seeking economic opportunity and he went back when he was a teenager at the time and he went back later when he had earned enough money to bring back a wife. my grandmother was much younger. they were both teenagers from a small fishing area, my father and awful. when they were about 15 and 17. >> about a hundred years ago imax. >> they came in the late 19 hundreds. >> nearly 100 years ago. okay, did they become citizens and were they allowed to become citizens? >> the japanese immigrants were able to become citizens in 1952 with the acting past and one set of grandparents chose to do that. >> what about your parents? they live here in southern california to . >> my parents were both born in 1926 and my father's family lived in orang

a community policing general order. and so, it is binding, on the officers, and i am happy to come and personally, and come to talk to the young people, about how the general orders go in. and but the officers are trained to it, and they are bound by it, and actually it is a matter that if somebody believes that somebody was acting outside the general order, and any general order, that is a matter that can be complained to the occ if you believe that the officers are not being consistent with any policy of the police department. >> thank you, chief. >> if i could just chime in, there is a lot of talk about maybe the chief coming out to talk to the students here at balboa, and that is not something new, i can tell you that the chief was at lincoln high school and meeting with students as part of a regular program that he does have keeping the students in school. and explaining the benefit of a high school education and that is just one of the starting points of community policing. that he is visible and he is in the scho

i think it hurts him today. -- and that in general i'm generalizing here. i think many academics don't really like religious people. that's a terrible thing to say, but i think it's true, at least military religious people. i think it kind of hurts him am a but i don't want to get sidetracked on that. i do think the fact that rosecrans was a very religious person, i don't think it helps them today in academia. i think the general population will say it is interesting. mention the first chief of staff, he was decapitated at stones river. i was recently at stones river. pre-vatican ii catholicism. they told me at stones river that some people come there and pray at the site. it's very interesting. mrs. rosecrans is buried at the same cemetery. mary sirotka was executed for being a conspirator in the assassination of lincoln. i stumbled upon a book and started raising -- reading all these superlatives and got deeper into the political asset. garrett shea is buried there. the direct show storm that came from the midwest and knocked out a lot of power -- derecho

and the secretary-general. at present ebola epidemic is ravaging several west african countries and in europe and in the u.s. there are also also patients appearing. therefore we have entered a new stage to combat the ebola epidemic. the international community should have more urgency and enhance their solidarity and coordination and increase their assistance particularly in terms of medical personnel, logistics and cash, financial assistance to help the african countries combat ebola. china stands firmly with the government and peoples of west african countries. china already has nearly 200 medical personnel inon the ground in those countries working hand in hand with the local people to combat ebola. as soon as we learned about the ebola outbreak we sent shipments of medicine, personal protection kits and medical equipment to guinea, liberia, sierra leone and for the protection and prevention and treatment of the disease. in august china again sent by chartered aircraft medical supplies worth 30 million renm

to generation as a program? >> generation to generation formed in the late '70s and was incorp traited as a nonprofit in 1981 its mission was to offer psychological support to the issues surrounding being a child of holocaust survivors. >> wonderful. morgan, you're director of education of the holocaust center. you serve the entirety of the bay area and beyond? >> we do. we serve schools and communities throughout northern california. we work in partnership with the museum of tolerance and we meet the needs of southern california as well. >> it is a big question, but as director of education, this particular experience of history, what does that mean? what does the work that you do? >> it is a good question. it changes everyday. so the work that we do supports students, both within the four walls of the classroom. we have an active speaker's bureau of 40 holocaust survivors that speak at the schools and we have schools come to us at our center and the survivors will share their story. we work one on one with tea

. >> did american generals blunder? >> the upper command really did not understand. >> it's hell in the huertgen forest. that's next on "war stories." >>> this cold, dark and forbidding place is a scene of one of the fiercest, bloodiest and least known battles of world war ii. welcome to "war stories." i'm oliver north, coming to you from the huertgen forest in germany. these densely wooded hills are quiet now, but from september of 1944 until february of 1945, they thundered with artillery, mortar, machine gun, and tank fire. american generals that hoped for a quick push into germany's industrial heartland, but battle hardened troops were determined to hold their ground. for five months, tens of thousands of american and german soldiers battled each other and harsh terrain and bitter cold that claimed combatants on both sides. with shells bursting in these trees above, well prepared and tenacious german defenders turned the american offensive into a nightmare. for every yard gained, this was the deadliest campaign in t

>> yes and that's why less are generally interested in the work. we generally see smaller contractors with smaller work and not what we do. the limit on our job programs is up to $400,000 and so that's -- >> per task. >> per task order so that's a pretty big contractor to take that on at one time and the capacity of doing multiple ones and we have different different areas so there doesn't seem to be the pool of that size contractor in that part of the state. >> i would also say in reaction to this bid we had meetings on planning outreach efforts, and really working within that region to expand our bidders' pool. >> and also perhaps looking at if a three year job requires tie up of capacity of $5 million which is a lot for a small firm maybe that's not the mechanism to produce interested bidders up country. >> let me make it clear that's one of the cash concerns and something we have been addressing. >> >> on the micro set asides we're setting up it's administratively streamlined and so we have the micro joks and it's a $3 million contract. the tas

there is no surgeon general.s would be the point person and you say there is one very specific group to blame for that. >> that's right. it's the national rifle association. we know that president obama nominated a surgeon general back in november that was to succeed the previous surgeon general who had resigned in mid-year. he was dr. vivek murthy of harvard, he was nominated in november and the nra dug up a number of statements he'd made basically expressing the viewpoint that gun control was a public health issue. they found that unacceptable and wrote letters to senator harry reid and senator mitch mcconnell and they said dr. murthy is not acceptable for them and that quashed has nomination up to today so we don't have a surgeon general. >> so because a.b. stoddard, we do not have a surgeon general, if if one existed what would one be doing about all of this ebola right now? would there be a big difference? >> well, that's a very interesting question. you heard josh earnest say lisa monaco, the momentland sec

in the generation. the 50th anniversary report is the result of over five years of hard work by 85 contributing authors and 120 expert reviewers. what an undertaking. in particular, i would like to ask the reports editors to stand to be acknowledged. that's dr. jonathan sammand. [ applause ] dr. terry buhoknic. [ applause ] >> and leslie norman. [ applause ] >> also, at this time, i would like to recognize my surgeon general colleagues, dr. david satcher, the 18th surgeon general, dr. regina benjamin, my colleague from the navy. surgeon general matthew nathan. two former acting surgeon generals of the commission corps to the u.s. public health service. steven galson. in addition, i would like to acknowledge the flag and general officers of the sister services and the u.s. public health services and greetings to all those who serve our nation in uniform. when the first surgeon general's report on smoking and health came out in 1964, few people understood or anticipated the normty or effect it would have

general shelter.ining me now, pepco holding, she is the vice president for corporate citizenship and social responsibility. it's a mouthful. but we know that you do good things in the community. and so i guess the question is, why did pepco decide that this mission to help children play was so important that you put this much money behind it? >> first of all, safety is a number one core value for pepco. safe and reliable electric service. but also about the community and wanting to help keep safe everyone who lives within the community. so, when we went to visit kevin fitzgerald and myself went to d.c. general to visit homeless children's play time project and what they were doing there. the conversation was around the need for safe play outside. and when we saw, we decided we needed to support. and that's what we did. and so we have been side by side with homeless children's play time project for the past year and a half or so. working to help get this playground built. >> it's one thing to make a co

with general haig and mr. saint claire before the resignation about the pardon power in general. did they have any reason to carry a message to then-president nixon that this pardon power could possibly be used on his behalf if he resigns? >> none whatsoever. categorically no. >> then why, mr. president, why were the general discussions about pardons? >> as i indicated in my prepared statement, general haig came to me first to apprise me of the dramatic change in the situation. and as i indicated in the prepared statement, told me that i should be prepared to assume the presidency very quickly and wanted to know whether i was ready to do that. secondly, he did indicate that in the white house, among the president's advisors, there were many options being discussed as to what course of action the president should take. and in the course of my discussion on august 1 with -- with general haig, he outlined as i did in the prepared text the many options that were being discussed. he asked for any recommendations i

and generations.lly will affect -- it's a landowners' rights problem as well as anything else. and that's something that i wasn't really expecting. i flew into nebraska thinking, oh, gosh. what am i going to expect here, walking on dusty roads through cornfields and cornfields and cornfields? we've been staying in all these <ñ amazing for me because i'm Ñ< realizing how important it is community support us and how supportive they are of us. >> what about young people your age? are they coming out in these towns? >> i have to say that most of the people that come to support us are not of my generation. and i get asked that a lot, you know, where are the youth in i wish i had a really concrete answer. >> what do you think?8zy >> what i would say is, you know, i guess the thing that i know is my own story. so i guess i can start there. march instead of going to school as a freshman, instead of pursuing my other interests? and the thing is, it would be really easy and really gratifying, for me to go and i

he was a remarkable general, a remarkable man. vietnam whentudy he did his own doctorate work at princeton university. counterinsurgency very deeply. i was privileged to work with him on rewriting the marine corps counterinsurgency, which we published in 2006 just a few months before he took command of the effort in iraq. a fairly extraordinary event in military history. lucky.s was he was fortunate that most of the american units he had to served inin iraq had iraq during the early years when we were not very good at counterinsurgency and were denying there was an insurgency in iraq. how toly did not know defeat the enemy we were facing. the invisible enemy. general betrays his predecessor said the counterinsurgency todemy on the ground in iraq train american units coming in -- the traceraq had a better it will with which to work. an army that understood -- the trays had a better -- bu petraeus had a better unit with which to work. host: pam is in louisville. caller: i would like to say the last few callers you have had, i agree.

so what we're doing is the army reserve, and general -- first army general milley mentioned that cstc and war axis, and in those, these are not large enabling exercises, where we have combat support hospitals. and they are often connected to the ctc rotations. just work with me. you've got live virtual constructives. first army is supporting that. and you may be in the dirt in california, but plugged and played and participating with a live virtual constructive program where you're part of the ctc, even though you're not in the physical location of the ctc box. that's what we're doing now to give you that better experience. but we're trying to eventually get you into the box itself at the ctc. that won't happen likely for most of our enablers, regardless of the regiment, until we see some relief from sequestration. not the answer you want, but that's -- >> let me also, jeff, turn to warren in the audience. if you could address that. warren phipps. go ahead, warren. can you talk into the microphone? they're recording this. >> okay. it doesn't matter if you're active or reserve. we have

president of the general assembly, mr. deputy secretary general, champ de cabina.gentlemen. false, i would like to acknowledge the really important role of this global body in focusing attention on and leading support for the response to the current outbreak of ebola. in my remarks, i would like to cover six points. i would like to talk a bit about history of the outbreak. i would like to focus on its significance. i would like to reflect on some of the actions being undertaken now to scale up the response. i would liable to concentrate on the different partnerships that are being built, the leadership of different bodies and particularly the presidents of the countries. and then the coalition that has been referred to in the deckty secretary general's remarks the i will be formed by anthony banbury, who will give a more specific presentation on the work of the united nation's mission for ebola emergency response. . >> let me start a bit with some history. i have worked as a public health doctor for 35 years. and i have been involved in many disease outbreaks and i

thank you, general millie. honor to be included in the panel of distinguished leaders and especially to be able to share with you all the army guard's experiences thus far in implementing policy. so i'd have a few points. first, i'd like to emphasize that developing the total force policy has been an open and collaborative process for the army guard. we have been engaged in the meetings, council of colonels, general officers steering committees and other working groups in the pentagon and out in the major command. first army and other commands have made a real effort to engage with the agitants generals and get state input. in particular, general allen, when he was the forcecom commander, spent a lot of time socializing the interim guidance that general millie talked about for implementation with thage taxes generals in getting their feedback. second, one of the most tangible early wins in total force policy implementation has been the unit partnering that general millie mentioned between the components. our di

ruby is a retired general. >> retired general. okay.early this is a deal that is yet to be completely worked out. thank you very much indeed for now, for giving us the very latest from the capitol, and telling us that people are still outside on the streets, inside the national square, outside of the military barracks because they don't seem to be completely happy with the self appointment of the general, saying that he was the head of the military under the former president, blaise compaore, and they want somebody else to take charge of the country. we'll keep you up to date on the latest here at al jazeera. >>> turkey's president has rejected any indication that his country is supporting isil fighters. this is what he had to say while addressing a press conference in paris. >> it has been reported in the international media that turkey is supporting isil. this is absolutely false and untrue. turkey is being falsely accused here as we never provided any support to isil, nor do we plan on providing any in the future. >> well, the french

army of four-star generals. the law specified it would be equivalent to their relative grade in the united states army and the same branch of the service before they had resigned to go south. thus davis gave the top-ranking to samuel cooper whom i expect not many of you have heard of. his adjutant inspector general the same staff position he held in the old army and now of course at this job in richmond. davis named his longtime friend albert sidney johnston who was on his way from california but had not yet commanded confederate troops to the second position followed by robert e. lee who at this time was commanding a small army trying unsuccessfully to push union troops out of the western part of virginia that subsequently became west virginia. davis rounded out the list of five full generals with joseph johnson is number four in blower guard is number five. when joe johnson learned in september of this number four ranking he exploded in anger. all along he assumed he was number one based on his position as qua

they were generous terms.hey paroled the confederate soldiers and said a few go home and observe the laws in places you live, very generous creed >> when he left that long train of union soldiers, what did they do? >> they tipped their hats in recognition of a worthy foe and a gentleman. >> lee went on to be president of washington lee university. >> that's right. it was renamed washington and lee university. >> jefferson davis? >> he fled richmond, went to danville, the north carolina, was one step ahead of union calvary. as long as he remained at large the confederacy might still be able to carry on the war. davis was urging southerners continue fighting as guerrillas. he wouldn't give up. he was finally captured by calgary in georgia on may 10. this is after lee has surrendered. once he is captured the war is truly over. he was imprisoned for two years while the government tried to decide whether to try him for treason. they finally decided not to because of the constitution, treason must be a jury trial fo

for many of the performers the circus is a family trade that's been passed down from generation to generationbut she worried her children will be the last to uphold this tradition. i'm not sure they will be around when they become adults. >> the children don't do to town. when child performers become adults they find they have few options when it comes to jobs outside the circus. technology has transported real life. televisions are everywhere, leaving the best of the entertainment into everyone's homes. just we looking at their home screens. >> this wasn't a problem, who has been in business for 40 years. when he joined the circus was thriving. >> when we started there was no satellite t.v., and there were not many on radio, there was no internet. the circus still manages to draw aal crowd, etch if sometimes it does so by giving away tickets for free. not everyone in bangladesh is hooked to their screens. >> it's nice to have an activity that lets you get out of the house. people don't get to leigh the house for entertainment in these areas very off. >> it cost the organizes about 500-dollar

can secretary hagel, basically siding with his generals, general martin dempsey and general ray or hear now, if they don't step up, they wouldn't beg a quarantine in africa. >> so many mixed messages coming out of so many governmental agencies, whether the military or the cdc, the governors of new york and new jersey, no one is on the same page. and they've had time to get their act together. i understand we don't know everything there is to know about ebola and how it could be evolving, but we do know a few things about how it is transmitted. and it seems that this quarantine from areas of africa that are particularly part of this seems reasonable. but when you have the military disagreeing with the cdc, you can't get anyone on this -- and the white house can't even -- they can't seem to pull people together into the same room and tell them simply lets all get on the same page for the confidence of the american people. i think that this is the real danger. lou: joe, is this a big deal that is going to last? this is a long-lasting rupture between the civilian leadership and the military

we need a qualified surgeon general. we need somebody who earns the right to be called it and merits the rank of admiral or second admiral. and it just can't be anybody. any doctor cannot be the surgeon general. >> tom frieden has become the de facto spokesperson for this. he was on fox news last night. he said he doesn't think there will be a large outbreak of ebola. do you agree with that? what does it mean, what does large outbreak mean to you? >> first and foremost, he's correct if the hospitals, health providers, and the public is aware that they follow the guidelines, protocols, policies and procedures we put out there over the last decade. that it should be curtailed. when we have infractions as has been alleged in texas, then that breaks this sense of preparedness that we all thought we had when people are not adhering on the guidelines. so i'm concerned. >> what would large look like? >> well, large would be something like we're seeing in west africa right now where it just keeps escalating. to me in the united

he proved it in 2004 when he was deputy attorney general.ey was asked to reauthorize a package of top secret warrantless surveillance targeting foreign terrorists. but comey told us "significant aspects" of the massive program were not lawful. he wouldn't be specific because it's still top secret. this was not something you were willing to stand for? >> comey: no, i was the deputy attorney general of the united states. we were not going to authorize, reauthorize, or participate in activities that did not have a lawful basis. >> pelley: at the time, comey was in charge at the justice department because attorney general john ashcroft was in intensive care with near-fatal pancreatitis. when comey refused to sign off, the president's chief of staff, andy card, headed to the hospital to get ashcroft's okay. you got in a car with lights and sirens and raced to the hospital to beat the president's chief of staff there? >> comey: yep, raced over there, ran up the stairs, got there first. >> pelley: what did you tell the attorney general, lying in hi

all right then let's move on to the report of the general manager. >> okay. so the first thing they want to just go back to your question commissioner. on the recent annual report in page one basically the table talks about -- it talks about planning environmental design, and construction efforts and it gives a percentage of each one of the phases and so it talks about the planning is 99% complete so all the projects that are in planning 99% of all the work that's in planning and then environmental is 97.one. design 97.one and construction effort is 80% complete so when you look at all those phases and take them into consideration it's 81.4 percent complete. now there are two columns that says planned and actual. planned is off the schedule. actual is what you're actually achieving in the field and there's the difference in the numbers are coming from. >> still how does it relate to the 80%? >> the 80% is just construction. when you look at the work that is in construction because there are projects what have not yet reached construction that you got to take

director general greg giles. he referenced your august trip to tehran and i'm wondering if in your discussions with iranian officials, you mentioned president rouhani, did you get the sense that the civilian leadership in iran would perhaps like to be more forthcoming in clarifying the pmd issues but the military and the islamic revolutionary guard corps that stands in the way? >> i cannot generalize what i heard from a rainy and later. they aren't willing to clarify the doubts if there are any and they would like to accelerate the process and are willing to cooperate with the iaea. so i think they are is some political will to clarify the issue. in reality the clarification is not making progress as we expect but we continue to work with iranian counterparts to clarify the issues. >> what do you think is the biggest challenge in achieving a nuclear weapon free zone in the middle east? >> dialogue is very important. i joined the iaea in 2005 and there is a resolution of the general conference in 2001 requesting m

and ambiguous language and i think that the intent of this new general order is to give the clarity to the officers. and some very clear steps out in the field, as to under what circumstances the situations that they should contact cps and in fact, it is limiting the number of circumstances, and not in every case and i think back to my days as a public defend and her i look at the number of police reports in which the officers are called upon to exercise their individual discretion because there has not been that kind of guidance and so you will read the cases and i will banging my head against the wall and why didn't they call cps why did they call cps this did not involve the kids in any way and this was not a case where cps should have been brought in and i think that in general, this is a good, order, in that it tempts to give, again, the officers more clarity and a little bit more objective factor business which they can consider each situation, and when they should contact cps and i think that i hope that the messaging out to the community in particular, to the women and who m

if the next generation is doomed or not. in the meantime waiting for that housing boom, don't hold your breath.@? neil: so uncle sam to save the day? maybe not at least when it comes to your home. new home sales barely budging. the government is trying to change that by making it easier for more people to buy a home, but therein might lie some problems. >> ben couldn't refinance his mortgage. the housing continues its tepid recovery. new home sales were up 2 percent -- new home sales make up less than 10 percent of housing buys to support the recovery amid concerns lending standards are too tight the obama administration recently scrapped a proposal that would require a 20 percent down payment -- fannie mae and freddie mac those government companies say they'll take loans with smaller down payments as little as 3 percent. regulators are offering banks more clarity on when they'll have to buy back loans from the government. still banks could get their standards as high as they see fit. there remain a host of new government re

and mayor lee needs to fire rec and park general manager phil ginsburg. this battle over privatization of the parks has been going on for years and instead of trying to work with his critics he tries to marginalize and dismiss us. he one is of the most divisive figures in the city and with new leadership that works with everyone. [ applause ] >> good morning. my name is [speaker not understood] and i'm a parent. a life-long citizen of san francisco, i was born and raised here. so i have seen several different phases of what is going on with the city and unfortunately this period right now is the saddest and breaks my heart. this issue touches me because i have two young sons, actually in their 20s now and i have a 10-year-old. i have been part of the process of the new park coming up on 17th and folsom. unfortunately you say you have bilingual meetings and i don't think there was any and unfortunately the spanish-speaking parents, the people busy working and raising kids can't come to these meetings. what i witness in the meetings is that the majority of

another generation of embryos. but that would achieve an effect is to collapse the human generation spam from 20 to 30 years maybe a couple of months and instead of a eugenicist trying to persuade millions of people to change their breeding patterns for many hundreds of years, you could now have all of this over the course of one or two years without having to change. the effects to be vastly greater. so this kind of ticked knowledge he has been used in my gamez derived stem cells. it's not just used in human population. so some analysis together with my colleague carl schulman on what the effects might be in different levels of selection. if you stick to random embryos since to the most promising ones come you look at for her i.q. point. just like one in 10, maybe 11 or 12, maybe 19, one and 1000. see there's this deeply diminishing return increase in the population from which you select gives you less and less. instead of doing a one-shot celestion, there's an iterated selection, then you have -- you don't get it

you never become a former general. [laughter] most people remembered me has from my military career and at the department of department of state summit he came in late in the afternoon and i said as long as i'm here, it is mr. secretary and that is how we will operate for the next four years however long it is. >> there were a lot that came in and my legislative affairs guy was a marine and it looked like the pentagon had finally succeeded in its ultimate wish to take over the state department. but i think that we demonstrated to the department that we were here to do the best we could for the department and we were here to be partners. >> thank you very much. one of the things that always struck me in our conversations and in our writings and other things you have said is the importance that you gave to diplomacy and it's just sort of walk and walking around without force. and so i've always felt strongly that you should try to prove negotiations due to this and anytime we can solve the problem that way and not use vo

there's a meeting between general abized and president karzai and karzai complains to the general that you shouldn't -- why are you helping the warlords causing me trouble? and the response of the general is pretty interesting. he says, well, they're one of us. just like you're one of us. we're not going to be green on green. and it was a term that karzai heard for the first time, a term after the insider attacks would become very common but at the same time it was a term karzai heard for the first time and the general confirms the anecdote. he remembered saying something like that to karzai. if you're karzai then, 2007, 2008, you are not putting the anger publicly yet you're expressing it to partners in private. but you're not seeing any actions on it. as they said. the allies are deaf or not doing enough. and if part of it is natural, also, that this perception of hypocrisy of karzai. if somebody's in power for 12 years or so, on the other side of partnership there's a change of administration. and obviously, that comes with change of policy. one partner is the same guy and he percei
