issue part of it is a technical question, but overall i and confident that we can balance these imperatives and we should not feel because we just have seen a horrific attack in paris that suddenly everything should be going by the wayside. we have, unfortunately, this has been a constant backdrop, and i think we will continue to be for any prime minister or president for some time to come and we have to make sure that we do not overreact but that we remain vigilant and we are serious

we believe this is indicative of not only the policy imperative but moral imperative in front of us asn industry and as a country. we are especially pleased to see such important bipartisan support expressed here today. we are appreciative secretary vilsack and senator klobuchar senator moran, and the rest of our guests for your presence here today and governor nixon we appreciate you flying in from your home state of missouri just for the launch. participation from respected leaders such as yourself is representative of what our coalition believes is the general sentiment of the u.s. congress. in addition, we understand that the majority of americans support lifting the embargo on cuba. that support has only been growing since the president's announcement on december 17. the usacc is not the first group to support change in the relationship with cuba. we are joining a chorus of voices from across america. there are many groups and some of them are here today that have been at this for a long time. of note is the voice of the u.s. business community, the u.s. chamber of commerce who ad

is it the imperative to do it?hat you have to convince yourself to do it, because you know it is going to be easy? >> there was the imperative, because there were mysteries in my family i wanted to explore. on the other hand, doing something so personal is always very difficult. my editor, john siegel at knopf, if he had not pushed me, i might have shied away from it. i was going to write a book about iran. he said, that is a little depressing. why not write about suicide, loss, displacement? >> which is the story of your family. >> it is a story of love. i don't want to give too negative an impression. >> it moves from lithuania to britain to israel then the united states. >> the family has been on the move for four generations. in the u.s., we think of immigration in positive terms, but immigration is also loss. you are leaving something behind. my mother is the girl from human street. she was born on human street, a little mining town in south africa. she was plucked out in the 1950's from this tightknit jewish

so there is an imperative. i would take issue with the fact that cuba sees venezuela as its most important relationship. quite frankly, cuba sees cuba linking with the globe as its most important relationship. and last, i don't think we should be focusing on what people wore on december 17th but on what people said. the fact that the cuban government engaged with the united states in 18 months of dialogue is the action. when the u.s. business community met with the president in havana in may, he wore a business suit. >> thank you, devry. questions? right in the front here. >> good morning. doug from omni capital group. john, the war mentality that you described which i agree with, i just spent ten days in cuba last week, i agree with that sense, does that live on beyond raul castro and fidel castro, or does that die when they go? >> i think we would like it to pass on as quickly as possible but there are a lot of generations that have been born under it and know only it. so i think that the process will not be

also, be driven by certain humanitarian imperatives.mperatives that i believe him very strongly, with regard to the exercise of american power. when we can do some good. it often requires a good deal of follow-up, though. one of the things we see in a lot of these cases is that trying to put a state back together, to build basic institutions of a state, put aside democracy. just basic institutions of a state. it is often a long-term project. >> a lot of those institutions were not there. >> kernel gaddafi by deliberately trying to ensure institutions that could operate without him and not exist. you remove him and the state is going to collapse. >> i was in cairo during the revolution and visited yemen shortly after the president step down. the one thing that struck me was there was this brief moment of hope in which people's expectations were almost artificially inflated to the point where, if we get rid of gaddafi or mubarak, our countries will go back to the places that our grandparents used to tell us about. where things worked, we

it's almost imperative that we do taht. $8 billion is sitting in the department of energy. want that money invested. we're moving this direction, but we don't have the fuel of the >> you are striking number four? >> it is imperative that the united states invest in research and development for clean fossil technology. >> and that is not accepted by the sponsor of the amendment. >> may the parliamentarian or the clerk can give me some advice here. i do not want to replace the fourth point. that is terribly important. i would amend senator manchin's amendment to point number five. >> i do not believe, senator sanders, you can amend his amendment to your amendment. >> i tried. >> i understand that. but if i understand senator manchin's amendment it would be to strike the language in section four and replaced with -- i am not good with having it on the fly. i want to make sure that members understand what we are dealing with. it is my recommendation that we not advance any of the amendments, whether it is senator sanders or your proposed -- >> i am just asking for an amendment

is it the imperative to do it? is it you have to convince yourself to do it because you know it's not going to be easy? what is it? >> well on the one side, there was the imperative because there were mysteries in my family that i wanted to explore. on the other hand, doing something so personal charlie, is always very difficult. i think if my editor john siegel at knopf hadn't pushed me i might have shied away from it. i was going to write a book about iran. and he said that's a little depressing. why don't you write a book about suicide loss, displacementes rose: the story of your family? >> and of love. rose: it moves from lithuania to britain to israel? >> yeah rose: and the united states? >> i became an american citizen. the family has been on the move for four generations. here in the u.s., we think of immigration in positive terms an opportunity. but, of course, immigration is also loss. you are leaving something behind. and my mother is the girl from human street. she was born on human street in a little mi

it's almost imper they've we do that. we -- the fact are, the eia or department of energy says we're going to be using fossil for quite some time. i want to use it in a much cleaner fashion. there's been very little money spent, $8 billion is sitting in the department of energy. i want that money invested. we're moving this direction, but we don't have the fuel of the >> i do not want to replace the fourth part nap's terribly important. >>> i understand that. >> but if -- i understand senator manchin's amendment, it would be to strike the language in section four and replace with -- >> i can give him -- >> yeah. i'm not good with just having it on the fly. i want to make sure that members understand what we're dealing with. it would certainly be -- it's my recommendation that we not advance any of the amendments, whether it's senator sanders or your proposed substitute -- >> i'm just asking for a vote on the amendment to the amendment strictly as a vote since we're going to be voting on senator sanders' amendment. that's

there is not the imperative of events. justice jackson is a hero of mine but but i wonder if he got that out of a fortune cookie. what i would say in this situation is that congress has the -- the president's discretion is limited by what congress has already ne. if he did see politically unthinkable and unilaterally raise taxes and cannot do it beyond what was minimally necessary to pay the tab. the constitution creates priorities. judicial salaries cannot be cut. payments required to be made good on takings cannot be cut. beyond that congress has issued contradictory instructions. the only inference you could draw is, is, you have to figure this out. and the last thing -- and i am probably going over my time. when you are dealing with this it simultaneously resides in all three at the same time. when congress gives the president a command, a command, by definition carries with it all authority necessary. well, in an appropriation statute how can that not include lawful access of the funds necessary to appropriate ad paid

it's a national security imperative deemed essential services no matter what happens, we'll keep thisation as safe as possible. >> how good is intelligence right now? are you confident that the u.s. knows what's going on? >> well the problem -- i heard another intelligence expert say that we've always been trying to find the needle in the haystack. the problem is there are more needles and the haystack is growing. it's a huge problem. we have to be accurate 100% of the time. they only have to succeed one time. >> you have confidence in the homeland security and the secretary, jeh johnson. what about the intelligence community? >> we have a number of different agencies. we have a number of different data centers and what we need to make sure is we haven't created those stovepipes that that information is flowing between the different agencies and trying to keep this nation safe. i'm dedicated to making sure that's happening. >> the whole notion in paris, for example, the accomplice, the woman, hayat boumeddiene, early in january, she apparently leaves france, goes to turkey a nato ally

that we have in front of us but the moral imperative that we have in front of us as not only from ourricans in general. for those of you that don't know last week the u.s. agriculture community broadly launched publicly at the national press club the u.s. acc which is the u.s. agriculture coalition fh+ tk cuba. that group is growing. we're continuing to add members since our launch. but that group basically makes up the broad cross-section of the u.s. agricultural and food community with the express purpose of coming together to end the embargo. i'm currently serving as the chair of that organization and before i go any further, i'd like toé)c #poundcubaalttrade. i was speaking with jake a few mince before and he said wow, you pulled that together in two days. actually, we've been working for about eight months to get ourselves organized around a charter. i'll go through exactly what it is that we've committed to as a group. but why eight months ago? as an outgrowth of one of the trips that i took to cuba last march basically on a sales call, we've been able to sell food into cuba thr

there was no imperative to take this case.appellate court looked at the question has decided it the same way, that yes, disparate impact can justify a claim under the fair housing act. the agency that is charged with enforcing the fair housing act, hud, also agrees with that. congress in 1988 when they amended the act suggested that they understood that disparate impact was a standard. and yet for the third time in four years, the supreme court has taken a case asking this question. the two previous cases were settled before the supreme court could hear oral argument. this one was not. and so there were real worries. and i wouldn't say that all those worries are ameliorated, that at least four members of the court are pretty aggressively pursuing this issue and are interested in this issue. so we were all quite interested to see how the court would grapple with it today. >> it's hard to extrapolate from the oral arguments to how the court will eventually rule. we've all fallen down that -- sort of gone down that path and regre

center where we can put that inn jens together for the safety of the sake of the nation and it's imperative that we start using it for that purpose. releasing detainees when the resit vichl rate is going on is a continuing problem for the administration an endangers american lives in the field. additionally at a time when we need to be using that facility and these detainees are being released into countries that are unstable, if they no longer represent a threat to the united states then, mr. president, why don't won't you tell the american people why they no longer represent a threat, how much money it's costing us to resetel them and why you feel that is there's no follow up with any of the any of the other intelligence agencies around the world to track these guys. if they're not a threat we don't need to be wasting our resources to do that and yet for every one of these detainees that's what we're doing. >> thank you so much for joining us with your insights today. >> thank you uma. great to be on the show. >>> and news of an arrest of an ohio man that we told you about a few minutes a

for me it's imperative we get tuesday. we have to be hungry to me it's almost like a must game. >> two points you want to have going into the break. and if you get those pretty solid six, seven weeks we've had, it's what you want momentum going into the final stretch. >> two teams, the caps are battles in the metro division. rangers visiting the sydney crosby and the pittsburgh penguins first per, but the pens on the power play. crosby cleaning up the met there. the puck sitting right in front of the net. let's move to the second period rangers answer off the face-off. rick nash's shot somehow finds the back of the net. it goes off the puck or the stick. right over goalkeeper marc fleury. that's derek stefan, fires past to beat the penguins by a final score of 5-2. let's move on to college basketball. a lot of great local teams in this area. georgetown maryland america, not just -- >> starts with maryland. >> but the men's team playing well but brenda freeshie has the terps rolling. maryland hosting illinois in the big ten

so turning the heat down on our stressed institutions by reducing future immigration is imperative. but if people are already here they're here. they're us and we have to deal with it. yes, sir. >> hey. my name is eric. i'm from the university of arizona. i found a lot of the topics you brought up -- they rang really true. a lot of the fence you can either walk through or trip over and a lot of the border patrol are ineffective or just corrupt. my questions are, do you know how much the budget is for the southern border defense, how much do you think we need to get where you want to go, and with conservative control in the legislative branch and their battle cry of lower taxes do you think we can raise the funds and how do you think we will? >> let me start by saying my comment about bad apples on the border patrol was bad apples. i yield to no one in my respect for border patrol overall. i just think politically they ramped up size too fast for political reasons and you ended up with problems like they're facing. another problem -- i'm not even sure why they do this. i think this w

it is imperative we take the lessons we have learned on how to protect our children from known sexual predator, child sex predators within our borders and expand those protections globally. mr. speaker, a deeply disturbing 2010 report by the g.a.o. entitled current situation results in thousands of passports issued to registered sex offenders, found that at least 4500 u.s. passports were issued to registered sex offenders in fiscal year 2008 alone. meanwhile, the law enforcement and media reports continue to document americans on the u.s. sex registry who were caught -- who are caught sexually abusing children in east asia central america and elsewhere in the world. it is the same horror movie replayed over and over. homeland security's angel watch program has been doing an outstanding job in alerting countries about potential danger from american sex offenders. h.r. 515 would codify and streamline this program, providing sex offender travels, get to the destination country in time for those countries to assess the potential dangers and respond appropriately wheth it's to allow entry,

it is imperative that the united states senate goes on record in saying we agree with science. madam president, climate change is one of the great threats facing our country and the entire planet. it has the capability of causing severe harm to our economy to our food supply, to access to water, and to national security. and, according to nasa and noaa, 2014 was the warmest year ever recorded. the most recent decade was the nation's warmest on record. across the globe the 10-warmest years on record have all occurred since 1997. we know that the earth's climate is warming and doing so quickly. according to noaa, october august june, and may were the hottest october august, june, and may months ever recorded. the consequence of this rapid and dramatic rise in global temperatures will have a profound impact on billions of people throughout the world. what we can expect are more severe weather disturbances, more flooding, more heat waves more droughts, more forest fires, and salt water inundation of water supplies and agricultural land. as "the new york times" reported in august, d

since we are in the restaurant week, i'm introducing this as an imperative item and purely commendatory. the other thing i wanted to talk about today which i'm really excited about, yesterday mare -- mayor lee and i announced the launch cleanpowersf this year. this is a huge victory. after more than a decade of work and effort it seems we have won an unwinnable fight. clean power is what san francisco can do to combat climate change and one of my highest priorities as a supervisor. over the last few years i was told time and time that clean power was dead an it was a pipe dream and we should give up on it and we didn't give up and protecting our climate and protecting our city from rising tides around us is important. now long last we have permission from the mayor's office a provide with pg & e with cleaner power, competitive prices, removal technology and structure with 100 pers renewable options and jobs. marin and other counties have proven this model can succeed. yesterday's announcement was a culmination of decades of work by countless leaders like supervisor john avalos and super

search for bodies here one of the things that i keep reading over and over again is that it is imperative that this happened quickly to recover all of those 162 souls because after a few days we are told that the gases within the body can start to -- that they won't float anymore. >> right, right. of course and for the loved ones too, of course you want to recover all of the remains so that that sense of closure, at least, is possible. and also forensically you want to get the bodies in as good a condition as possible to try to tell drowning fractures. you know can you tell a lot about the crash just by looking at pieces of the fuselage the human body as well. >> dan, let me ask you, as a commercial pilot, having watched this coverage over the last week since this plane disappeared, what is your biggest takeaway thus far? >> i think the -- my impression is that we're trying to leap ahead of our actual knowledge to determine the cause of the crash. i mean, it's obvious that weather played a significant role. we'll find out once we find the flight data recorders what was going on in the air

we believe it is indicative not only of the policy imperative that the moral imperative in front of uss an industry and country. we are pleased to see important bipartisan support we are pleased to see secretary tom vilsack and others here today. governor next and we appreciate we opening channels so that we could have free flow. we are reenergized to establish cuba as a market for products and are energized to advance the end of the embargo. we would like to offer high-quality affordable, safe food to cuban citizens. the experiment has gone on too long a failed policy in time we offer our two countries a better option. commercial engagement can and will promote positive change beyond the isolationism that currently plays a relationship. advancing constructive dialogue in the united states we are actively engaged, will work with key stakeholders take public platforms and liberalize trade. a tried and true policy creating opportunity for citizens on both sides. "it's worked to engage in the economy and power business raise income and lead to stability. we recognize we recognize past dif

moral imperative we wouldn't leave him on the streets either and we thought this was well within ourhe models we created down here was partnership, vertical and horizontal from the nonprofit side and the cooperation of everybody's help and the veterans. really pleased about it. a lot of work we still have to do. we have to sustain it over time because you get to a function of zero, can't end it totally because every day another veteran will become homeless. it's about setting up a system so that when you find a veteran on the streets you have a system set up to get him out and into permanent housing. >> with that system set up, does it also include help with mental health issues? >> of course. >> and also help getting a job. >> you have a bunch of problems. not only do you need permanent housing but you need a way to keep it and real problems is mental health substance abuse and, of course job training. we have those components built into the system as well. it's not fail proof yet. we continue to work on it and when we started we had about 197 veterans that we found, and by the way,

as of the last census 38% of san francisco childrens' 0-5 and imperative with the increase in this fund and the city's commitment to supporting a more family friendly city that the allocation is really carefully examined in order to serve our city's families. again i thank you for your work and supporting the legislation as it goes through the process and supporting the work of the oversight and advisory committee. thank you so much. >> hello good afternoon prefer supervisors. i am a member of the community coalition and i wanted to start off by thanking all for your work. >> in building up to prop c and all the way through with the trailing legislation. similar to how the community and young people are engaged in the process leading up to the legislation we want to make sure that that continues all the way through and is something that carries over and is sustainable in something which this oversight committee is aimed to accomplish. in particular i am pleaded with the involvement of the youth commission and the advisory board played a role in this and others played a role in this and

. >> it's also containing the situation and protecting is imperative imperative. there are a number of competing authorities. the first is the safety of the hostages. but very close to that would be the want of the security forces to prevent this spread of tactical con teenageon to make sure that no one else gets any idea in their head they might be able to perpetrate or carry out something like this and get away with it. >> let me go to chatman bell is standing by. nbc producer near the grocery store where at least two people were killed. what can you tell me? moments ago we heard a series of explosions follow theed by gunfire. the police here where we're standing then pushed everyone back around the corners. told people who were looking out of the windows to close the windows. get back in. it's a very tense situation. police officers with their guns drawn in the your. it's unclear what happened inside earlier there were reports of gunman said if the police stormed this grocery store that he would kill the hostages. however, it's unclear what exactly has unfolded

through personal experience, community college really is an important -- it's an imperative steppingne, because mentors are aplenty here. whereas at a larger university (accucapnt trial version) you have lecture halls of hundreds of students and smaller classes with 30 students at montgomery college where i am i can connect and build mentors and networking as well. >> are you convinced that higher rates of admission are going to equate to higher rates of graduation? we know that we have a lot of kids going to college. certainly not all of those are graduated. >> no. and that's one of the u.s.' fundamental problems now is the disconnect between going and completing. let me actually raise some of (accucapnt trial version) the unintendedded consequences of this program. one of those unintendedded consequences is that it may lead to a shift how big i don't know a shift from students moving from four-year schools to 2-year schools. there is a growing body of evidence that it tells us students have what it takes to succeed at a four-year program but start at a two-year program. have lower

the amount of water consumption, imperative for the governor. he's going to have to deal with protecting his flank when it comes to high speed rail and making sure it's moving along and making sure that cap and trade is going along despite the fact that people will be upset as gasoline prices go up. >> as we move to the east coast the long awaited trial of suspected boston bomber tsarnaev is set to start in boston. it could mean a death sentence for the alleged bomber. sarah has more. >> for more than a year and a half federal prosecutors have been building their case against tar tsarnaev. he faces two death penalties. it was an attack that left three people dead and injured more than 260 others. tsarnaev is also charged with the killing of an m.i.t. police officer in the days following the attack. his brother was killed in a shoot out with police during the pair's attempted escape from the area. many hope the upcoming trail will bring closure to the dark painful memory of the terror attacks and the days that followed. >> people want to move on.

in the case of human remains and funerary objects, the basis was your moral imperative. the correction of a wrong that occurred as native human remains often were swept from the battlefields by the united states cavalry and carried away for cranial research, completely contrary to the practices of native peoples regarding their dead. the rationale for returning sacred objects and cultural patrimony rested in a different area that aligned with the legal threads of the icon code of ethics. the congressional axiom was that objects related to the sacred and ceremonial life of living native peoples and cultures should be available for their use and ownership, and thus upon the request and after due process, should be repatriated to them for those purposes. let's turn to my third and final point this morning. having walked through the experience of institution holding one of the great native collections in the united states, the national museum of the american indian, here is my question -- what does a quarter century's experience with repatriation teach us about museums and t

. >> people need to understand that this hatred is a religious imperative. >> the american freedom initiative paid for the ads in the wake of recent terrorism in paris. we feel this message in critical in light of what happens in paris, the slaughter of four jewish people at a kosher supermarket. >> it's not the first time the controversial ads have shown up on muni vehicles. this is the 8th time over the last few years that this organization posted ads like these. it is something we hear from our riders, from people in san francisco that this is offensive. >> in a statement, the bay area office of the council on arabic islamic -- they are protected by the first amendment as is our ability to speak out against them. muni says the ads are protected under free speech. >> we have to run these ads. it could result in a lawsuit. and then at the same time, yes using taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawsuit. >> the agency is continuing an on board ad campaign that aims to counter the controversial message outside the vehicles. >> we have our peace campaign, that continues to run throughout the year. >>

leaders and others transit riders and others to express to the legislature why these changes are imperative and while we feel in san francisco they're in line with our values. also today i am introducing a in memoryiam and would like to end the meeting in honor of the life of a great teacher from the ruth [inaudible] school of the arts and academy of arts and sciences in the unified school district of san francisco tom dalman was a eco hero and a science teacher at sotta and the academy for over a decade. tom was a positive spirit and fought all his battles including the one against his illness with a cheerful and hopeful attitude. on the facebook page from school of the arts a number of students, rochelle said "rest in peace to the happiest teacher i had ever" "rest in peace" kudos and love and aloha forever." he was loved by the students and the community. tom was a plain spoken man but never afraid to speak his peace and ethical and respected for his opinions by staff and students alike and a leader that touches the hearts and minds of all we came into contact with and special presence m
