again, a very modern preoccupation.e saw man as a sexual being tormented by a sense of spiritual despair. he thought human existence without meaning, a continual striving doomed to frustration. schiele's willingness to confront himself and his world directly, however disturbing, is at the core of modern art, found d not only in vienna, but especially in germany in expressionism. at this time, germany was engaged in rapid industrialization and imperial expansion. many artists rejected this new germany. but, ironically, they were influenced by the exotic world discovered in the kaiser's colonies in africa and the pacific. the myth of the innocent savage held special attractions for artists across europe. i think especially of a small group of german artists, hardly more than students, who called themselves die brucke, the bridge. they were based in dresden. these artists, like schiele, thoroughly disliked the idea of art as like some sort of beautiful curtain. inspired by what they thought of as the directness, the sponta

and i need that modernized equipment back here. it's a morale factor. if you're a young soldier trained and equipped with the best standards and come home and go to the weekend drill in your army reserve unit, and there's a piece of old equipment that you know we don't use anymore in a wartime environment. it has an impact on the soldier saying, why aren't we training with what we just had in afghanistan? and so to me, the modernization of that equipment is critical for our retention. it's critical for our readiness. because to be ready, i've got to train on the right equipment. o right equipment. >> are you satisfied with the pace of modernization is sufficient? >> say again? >> are you satisfied that the modernization program as we have now is adequate? >> i have some concerns, sir. my concern, i guess, would be that as the army is going through restructure and as the army has announced they're drawing down over a period of years, i think that's going to lead us to make some equipping decisions for the future that might say we can delay some moderniza

however, we're 66% modernized. the equipment we have as was discussed earlier with the national guard in a lot of cases is old equipment that is substitute items for the modern equipment. now, as far as our soldiers being able to do their job in the afghanistan, iraq and other places, not an issue, because we make sure they're using modernized equipment in those theaters. we give them the best training, the best equipping before we put them in harm's way. where it impacts me is back home. impacts me back home, because now, and especially now we've drawn out of iraq and are going to start drawing down out of afghanistan i'm focusing on home station training. how do i keep these soldiers trained at home so they're ready to go? and how do i keep these soldiers trained at home so they're ready to go when i need them and i need that modernized equipment back here. it's a morale factor. if you're a young soldier and you're been trained and equipped with the best standards and come home and go to your weekend army reserve

we are just now in the middle of modernizing this equipment. >> why modernize? doesn't the equipment works fine? >> it does, it is of analog and intensive, and there are some additional controls. let me introduce the foreman to you. this is vince. he can do a better job explaining the project details. >> what is happening here, what are you doing? >> we are doing a major modernization. we are tearing out the old system, logic controls, and generator controls, and we will be going over to solid state. this is not your standard selector. it does not have a tape that runs it. because these are outside elevators -- these are unique to the city. >> and this is going away with the upgrade. >> that is right. none of these will be here. we have retrofitted three elevators so far and now we're doing the outside cars. >> so this is what will be replacing -- >> this will be replacing the generator controller and control system. we are down to about 15 or 20 relays, down from about 100, which means much less maintenance. this thing had been running for about six months now,

for centuries, most modern societies, and i have to adhere that not all islamic societies, modern majority countries, are necessarily hom ogenius, but i think that's patterns that continue in these societies. for instance, sex segregation. what is sex segregation? it's the division of the social space into the world of men, that's the world of politics, the outside world, the streets, the world of money, and whatnot. the inside is the world of women. what is considered the private. now, progressively over the course of the last 14 centuries, women were segregated further and further. it is only in the middle of the 19th century that some men and some women thought that the societies being deprived of the contribution of half its population in the public arena so you might be surprised to know that as early as 1848, there was a congregation in iran of which before the cop venges in up-- convention in upstate new york in which men and women discussed and, in fact, enacted the desegregation of women. >> host: where did you come up with the title "words not swords"? >> guest: it was a long pro

so that i think modern world, not only america but modern world here in china and russia.w my sort of talk, you know, also money. >> who are the most impressive world leaders that you've ever met in your life, who have that heart element to them, who understand this? >> well, i think leaders have to act according to the orders of the -- >> but who has impressed you? i mean, somebody like nelson mandela? which people that you've ever met are you really impressed with? >> i think nelson mandela are one of the sort of quite impressive. and then, then of course as individual, individual person i love president bush. >> which one? >> the younger one. >> really? >> yes. that's a human being. >> really. >> not as a president of america. sometimes his policy may not be very, very purposeful. but as a person, human being, very nice person. i love him. >> but how did you feel that president bush went to war so much and was responsible for so many deaths if you're a man of peace? >> after he sort of start the iraq sort of crisis, then my occasion meeting with him, i express for him i

in new york, he studied the works of modern european masters, especially miro and picasso. think he had his best run in '47, '48, '49, '50, what i call the "all over," when he spattered or dripped or whatever. about his art, pollock knew what he was about. he trusted his spontaneity in what they call automatic painting. but he was in control. he'd stop from time to time to see what he'd done. and then when a picture was finished, he'd go back and edit now and then. when it comes to abstract art, there's no subject matter, but there is content, and the two have to be distinguished. in other words, the presence or absence of a recognizable image has nothing to do with value in art. it doesn't have to be about anything. i gave it the title lavender mist. i saw it, and i flipped for it, and then i knew all this predominant color was lavender, that kind of violet, and it was sort of a little misty, and so i suggested that to jackson. he said, "sure." he wasn't this wild, heedless genius. no, he wasn't that. he looked. he looked hard, and he was very sophisticated about painting.

we all celebrated the passage of the food safety and modernization act in late 2010.t's landmark legislation that completely reorients fda's approach to food safety and provides important new tools to reduce the 48 million illnesses and 3,000 deaths attributable to food-born illness in the united states each year. consumer advocates and industry believed then and now that passage and implementation of the new law would spare thousands from the pain and suffering of food-born illness. we worked along victim who set aside their sorrow and came to plead for new legislation. and we worked alongside leaders in the food industry, some of whom are here today, who shared our believes that new law was necessary. we were successful in our effort in large part because in march of 2009, the newly inaugurated president of the united states endorsed the need for new law to modernize fda's archaic food safety provisions. the president endorsed the legislation at each step along the way and signed it into law on january 4th 2011. even before the bill was signed, mike taylor had organ
