so we're stretching it a bit when we say our expedition is a circle navigation strictly speaking it's a circular polar expedition. they expect crew has two canadian members yourself you're an ethnic russian but a canadian citizen and then there is another canadian also with a russian name so all you guys russian or canadian and held it is joining this expedition. well we're both russians and i just live in canada and to how we joined the expedition i can only speak for myself. i found out about the expedition in two thousand and four i saw it on the internet. i had been dreaming about traveling to the north pole since nine hundred ninety four . told me about his trips in the arctic. so when i found out about the project i first tried to join this position in two thousand. but by that time the roster was fool so i didn't make it but. told me that i was welcome to take part in future projects. scientific expedition. tourism. well. i certainly can't say it's a fool fledged scientific expedition. because none of us are scientists with them of course we're all well educated people but we'r

can you tell us what equipment are you going to use for navigation please. yell bloody mary what kind of equipment i would going to use let me answer this question as surrogate is a newcomer to our team and that's why he's referring this question to me but we've always used the global positioning system for navigation purposes. it has always worked fine this is tracks are route automatically on our on board computer and the information is transmitted via the same system to any user to our websites and so on but this year we have an opportunity to carry out the first task on ast system in highland. previously the russian system did not have enough satellites to cover the entire globe but know that this group or whatever it's called satellites has grown business leader of such lights i think there's still the satellites by now yes as the satellite fleet has occurred we will try using going os there but it doesn't mean that we have given up g.p.s. so you still use it but then yes of course you know some people who are very anxious one will have. and if somethin

kids how to navigate through the massive information that's coming at them. people's fantasy is their reality. and if you don't have your realities down, which is your education, your economics, your enforcement, your environment, which is often the case in the black community, you could fall into a situation where fantasy and reality has a very thin line between the two. and when you have that very thin line between the two, not only does art imitate life, but life can imitate art, you know, be reciprocated. and that's what we're facing with information today. you have situations that control images. images create perceptions. and young people, without being able to navigate through information and images, will follow their peers based on the perception. and that's where it gets dangerous. and you have some communities that can't hold their own water, thus the community i come from. our realities are not controlled by us. so therefore, we can be dictated to on how to act. so that goes with television, music, film, you know. i mean, i come from a community wh

level, federal, state, and local, are always difficult for small businesses to understand how to navigate the process of getting certified to do business, finding the right sources to be able to talk to and understand how to navigate getting into the contract thing rolls with public sectors, so we try to help small businesses understand that, and we partner with a lot of organizations -- the city, the state of california, and now federal agencies, to be able to take advantage of a huge buying opportunity for small businesses, but one that they find very intimidating. sometimes it takes too long. it is too complicated. for real red tape of process is something less certainly exists with small businesses try to get into public contracts the work. those are two roles we play, separate from the access to credit roll. on the financing side, sba plays a role across a wide spectrum in terms of who we partner with and what kinds of loans sba is able to guarantee. we are not a direct lender or guarantee lender. we have a couple of program he says, just to give you a sense, and i will let eric talk

the system to get glasses or can't figure out how to navigate the system to get health care. those are the kind of things we have been changing on the ground in the city of syracuse such that now not only do we have children the letcher rating from city high schools who are guaranteed tuition free education at any state college or the city of new york and our vernacular the city in new york state but also a list of private colleges who've joined the so-called say yes to education compact, so it is a promise that is being realized, and here are some of the stats. we have now actually more than 1,000 high school graduates who are currently going to college tuition free because of this program. we have more than 41,000 elementary and middle school students in the say yes after-school programs. this means they go right from the school to the after-school program to give them more intensive instructions which the studies have proven children particularly in poverty absolutely need. we are doing to thousand families a year are signing up for our summer programs where we have the sc

this is based on a onboard unit, which is a satellite navigator and that satellite navigator provides all the information necessary to toll the truck and this will apply to more than 12.000 kilometres of national roads in france. >>friedman: that really makes you a europe wide company. i know you have been expanding outside italy, what are your activities in emerging market countries, in asia, or elsewhere? >>castellucci: of course our main target for next year is to continue to invest into the italian network to developto the bottleneck the network, but we are also proceeding very fast on the internationalization >>we are building or managing toll roads in india and brazil, we are participating to new tenders and we are talking to potential partners to consolidate the business in those countries. >>friedman: and are there other markets that you are interested in: china, south east asia, the middle east thatyou are interested in? any of those places? >>castellucci: yes, but for the short and medium term our main priority is to go deeper in those countries where we are present, india a

since you went there, how do you navigate forward?it feel when you push yourself and try something different and it is not met with that sort of critical acclaim. your fans to not embrace of the way they did the first three. that makes you feel how? how do you navigate forward? >> to be an artist is to be an emotional wreck to a degree. as an artist, you thrive off the acceptance of other people. you put your heart and soul into this music and you give it to the world and you beg them to love it and they either do or they do not. when they do not, you feel it. it hurts. especially the kind of music i do. i do not every song that you hear i put blood, sweat, and tears into. i do not do fillers. if a person does not accept it or look at it the way i would like them to, you feel it but at the same time, you have to understand, you cannot please all the people all the time. that is the reality. i am in the process of putting together a new album as we speak. i feel like i might have gotten too cool for the room with the concept on this as

i know for his part he cannot navigate things like short steps to get into stores. although he is no longer actively out in the community, he does occasionally get out there. the other thing i want to say is that i found out -- i was giving a presentation last week and later when to have lunch at a small cafe which will remain unnamed. it has one of those proverbial four-inch steps in front of it. it is an old building near my office. i will not get more specific than that. i mentioned it to the owner of the place, who i have known for many years, that he had this impediment to accessibility of his front door. he said, "i know, and i do have a couple of customers to come here in wheelchairs' under not able to navigate in to the building." i said, "you might get sued anyway." under the ada, that might be acceptable to have some means the owner can bring out and put on the sidewalk to allow people to get into the building. but it's still not satisfied ada the way it has written. i do not know if i should say more than that because i am not really an ada expert, nor do

that was our navigation. your safety record oobly is to be applauded. thank you very much for that. as you know this year the reauthorization bill could authorize the spending of billion of american taxpayer dollars to operate the faa and related programs. after reviewing several department of transportation inspector general reports, i am troubled by the faa's failure to provide basic contract oversight and management. today i would specifically like to focus on the 2008 contract, the faa awarded to raken for air traffic controller training in the 2007 contract awarded to itt to deploy the adsb infrastructure system. in regards to raytheon, in the first year this contract exceeded baseline cost estimates by 35% or 28 million. in the second year the contract exceeded a plan expense business 20% or $18 million. during the first year of the contract, separate invoices raytheon billed the faa for $45 million but the faa did not have the controls or metrics in place to verify the government received the services it was being billed for. most troubling is the faa allowed raytheon to dete

her navigator was supposed to have been a very good navigator. he was a good navigator. later, speculation has always centered on the fact that he might have been drinking because he had -- did -- he had an alcoholic past. however, amelia was much too smart to have taken off with a pilot that wasn't in shape. she was just too intelligent to do something like that. c-span: did you ask her sister muriel about--what her reaction was when she lost her sister? guest: i didn't have to because she'd already put it down. c-span: had she written a book herself? guest: yes. she's also written a book. c-span: what was the toughest thing for you in doing this book? guest: the toughest thing. cutting it down. i had so many more facts than i had room for. c-span: gonna do another book? guest: sure. c-span: what on? guest: i haven't decided. i'm still decompressing from amelia. c-span: here's the cover of the book. it's called "east to the dawn: the life of amelia earhart," and the author is susan butler. and we're out of time and we thank you. guest: thank you. to redesign booknotes w

. >> susie: it's very hard for american investors to navigate through oul of this an there may be the sense maybe i should just bail on the emerging markets all together in my portfolio. >> well, i don't think that's the right strategy. on a long-term basis emerging markets have demographics, they will have strong economic growth there are going to be places to invest. the trick now for investors is that they have to do their homework. they went through a period where i don't want to say you could throw a dartboard, throw a dart in a dartboard and do well but in general are you able to play in emerging markets, do relatively well. now you've got to sit back, recognize there are political risk. the food factor is to the going to go away any time soon. they have to be more savvy with it they still want to play emerge markets and do not necessarily want to be directly involved in emerging markets then they can play with large multinationals which are still probably going to navigate through these markets much better than a lot of individual investors. >> you know, scott, the u.s. markets

car a new way to work but yes that's one of the key things that can be affected is the is how we navigate how we get around of course there are. there are contingency plans put in place for situations like this one word of mention definitely for three people that are in slightly more risk than most of us are the three people on the international space station at the moment to be taken that are katherine coleman and paolo nespoli they however have. extra radiation treatment just in case to make sure that they don't suffer any any seen any dramatic side effects from being in space outside as they say all of our atmosphere that the eye on a sphere that protects us so greatly from these kind of solar flares what it could result though is if you're in the right part of the world this evening if you wherever you are could be the right place to see some dramatic lights in the sky so hopefully you're somewhere where you can see that hopefully not too greatly affected by this solar outburst are i will be looking out for that artie's peter our live for us thank you for that report. now to more cele

this is not very navigable in that area if you have a disability. if you have site issues, if you are in a wheelchair. what we are doing is getting these ready for a ramp that very few people will appreciate. this is very difficult to accept. i'm michael long, this is part of my experience. i do think that the effort that the city has put so far into the park is significant and much more must to get done. what i want to say was about this room, i had the experience sitting in this chair and sean elsbernd when he was sitting in that chair, i questioned whether this is actually an accessible room. often, i had to move my chair and i did that know if she was going by me. i witnessed this happening over and over again. are we looking at a political argument about whether or not this area is acceptable and we have not resolved the accessibility issues right here in this room have reconsidered it how we will put these in an arrangement that would produce the kind of flexibility that we need? i don't think that we consider this as wholeheartedly as we coul

idea of zero waste so this is a tall order to put on the shoulders of one company to try to help us navigate around what our ceqa standards would be and then holding to the standard that will be completely ceqa compliant. i think this is worth pursuing on this end but it doubles the responsibility on the back. president chiu: thank you, colleagues. any additional discussion? could we take a roll call vote on this item? madam clerk: on item four [roll call vote taken] there are 11 aye's. president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. madam clerk: item five is an ordinance authorizing the office of economic and workforce development to accept a grant of approximately $238,000 from the department of labor employment and training administration to fund the green jobs workforce development training project. president chiu: can we do the same call? this ordinance is passed on the same reading. item 6? angela merkel resolution approving and authorizing the agreement for the sale and conveyance of property rights and fee interest for two nonexclusive easements and two temporary easem

but the tax code is tough to navigate and grows more complex every time congress meets. in fact, look at this recent quote in usa today. you'll like this. but you have to know it to create your plan so you don't get the government plan. well, that doesn't sound fair. life isn't fair. as johnny carson once said, "if life were fair, elvis would be alive, and all the impersonators would be dead." i'm not antitax or antigovernment. i'm a consumer advocate. and there's no reason to pay too much or too soon because you didn't know what to do. i'm proud to be an american paying taxes, but i could be just as proud for half the money. how about you? taxes can only increase at this point. the government is going broke, and it's only going to get worse. even the fed chairman says so. look at this recent quote about higher taxes. he says: so the government's financial problems have become our problems. so who pays? we do. because our tax system is a penalty on savers, a penalty on everyone who did everything right and played by the rules. so the big message is that you and your love

it's one of many doors to offer streaming video, live gaming and gps navigation. smart phones can do just about anything but, the popularity could mean slower service and a bigger bill. catherine explains. >> smart phone users are racking up a ton of data and the nation's largest wireless carriers are struggling to keep up. average monthly data usage is to double over the past three years. a recent study says it will increase another tenfold by 2015. the biggest did not halt mobile video traffic. apps from services like skype us and facebook are also heating up in increasing number of megabytes. facebook service for a whopping 267 percent in just the last six months of 2010. the jump in usage is forcing some wireless companies to limit speed and put caps on how much users can download. at&t scrapped its of limited data plan last summer. fries and said recently will slow service for the 5 per cent of users hogging the most band with. what does this mean for your smart phone plan? to look at your bill, research says american waste reentrant three $6 every year by mi

what kind of advise do you have for them to navigate to reach the future? >> that's a challenge.all have personal situations and challenges. the number one thing that helped me was talking to older people that i respected, and i listened to these folks. my brother was 11 years older than i and in college. he gave me a lot of guidance. if you don't have resources available to you, ask your teacher, ask your counselor what the community resources are for you. there are people out there. the person, if you're listening to me, students, ask for help. don't be afraid to ask for help from those that know the system and understand. it's a matter of working through things, and having the desire to improve your life. >> it's important to have that. another thing we are seeing is expectations have changed because of the recession. people who thought that they would always have homes have lost homes, jobs have been lost. when there are times like these, and resilience is required, how do you as a leader help those among you, around you, keep focused on goals that have become a challenge in
