the seat 3 requirements states it could be any north american city. i guess i think i'm inclined to vote to allow the waiver or to vote for the waiver because i also recognize if you don't - if we don't grant a waiver in this situation you're saying a small business owner can't participate in something like this and it's clear mr. paper man wouldn't be able to have his business and while categorically eliminating an entire group of hoping people i have concerns. >> agree with that in terms of larger firms the fact that someone else in the firm can appear other commissions to speak on behalf of their project. i don't see the difference in terms of conflict and i'm in favor of small business owners saga say in participating. i agree with that >> i'll renew my motion of approval. >> all in favor? the motion passes. thank you, mr. pearlman. you've been granted your waiver mr. pearlman >> thank you for our service mr. pearlman. i was going to say i've had a vacation plan for the last year that happened to be in the last three weeks >> next item on the agen

it began in the south in helmand and spread north and very soon the british were surrounded in the same cities in which the americanin kandahar, jalalabad and in kabul. they had stupidly kept their ammunition and food in outlining forts and it was captured by the insurgents very early on. they were given safe passage back. the retreat from kabul that followed began on the 6th of january, 1842 and one of the great imperial disasters. 18,500 men and women and children. only 5,000 were british. the rest from north india and they marched out into the snow. they had no idea how to cope in winter war fare. they weren't equipped or trained for it and six days later, one man made it through to jalalabad. everyone else was either killed, enslaved or taken hostage. >> now, the hostile forces that you describe are in the south of afghanistan, kandahar, this is precisely the same problem that the united states faces. which is the area of afghanistan that is hostile to america and to karzai and the government we put in place is the pashtun area the heartland and why is it that they don't seem to be the same guys who oppose the

south korean-born american naturalized citizen, 44 years old, the head of a tourist group organization that's been to north korea number of times before. he traveled to northeastern city, the special economic zone of rason on november 3 with a number of other tourists in his group and was picked up shortly afterwards. the north koreans accused him of hostile acts against the government, of plotting to overthrow the government. when they announced they had in custody at the end of december, they said he admitted to such crimes in questioning. the announcement on saturday that came from pyeongchang suggested this case would be heard in the supreme court and that he faced the death penalty. we now hear the case was heard on tuesday april 30. this sentence is 15 years hard labor. we have no further information as to the specific nature of the alleged crime. there has been some reporting in south korea and elsewhere that he is a man of devout christian faith and also some reporting that there was perhaps a hard drive with information sensitive to the north korean authorities in the possession of this group. nothing to support that yet from the state media. it comes at a ti

americans with every step that he took. so in 1890 he decided to go north to seek employment inties. this was -- in cities. this was decades before the great migration began which really began only in earnest after the first world war when, first, hundreds of thousands and then millions of black americans sought opportunity and freedom, greater freedom at any rate in the north. he went first to chicago and then to brooklyn which at that time was a separate city and not part of new york. now, although the north was freer for young black people in those days than the south was, there were still limits as to what they could do for a living. and frederick choz as his profession -- chose as his profession the sort of service industry, as one might call it. he became a wait exercise a valet. but with he didn't become a waiter anywhere, he became a waiter in what was at the time in the early 1890s the most technologically sophisticated hotel built in the united states. it was the auditorium. it stands on what is now south michigan avenue. it is now the home of roosevelt university. but you can go into the buildin

american cities if the u.s. should dare to defend taiwan against the chinese attack. a sea of fire imagery, north korea regularly conjures is also proud of china's strategical vocabulary. another repressive regime favoring the colorful regime is iran which happens to benefit from chinese and north korean missile and nuclear technology. wherever there is a state of pressing its people, proliferating dangerous missile and nuclear technology, are threatening its neighbors, china tends to take its side against the standards and values of the international community. given beijing's philosophical kinship, it's enduring support for north korea, should not surprise western observers. shared attitudes toward the west also help to explain the china-north korea alliance. in their official strategic doctrine, both see the united states as their past and future enemy. washington's decade-long preoccupation with pyongyang has served beijing's interest by distracting u.s. attention from the growing potential china threat, while enabling it to foster as responsible asian power. beijing is quite transparent in d
