i've read of missouri and seen of it.his beats anything i could everybody have imagined, actually, i have seen things and looked a second time in order to convince myself that it was really so. this, i know. the stuff i'm turning out that is his writing will have will never seen magazine poublicatio. you'll read some of my efforts to depict it some day. well, he wrote in rather short order a nonfiction study of poverty called the people of the abis. years later after he written most of his 50 books in just 40 years of life. he commented that that was the book that meant the most to him and took the most out of him as a young man. one can see why, to read it is to experience the life that the people experienced on a daily level. >> one of the aspects of the poor that london particularly felt was the sad and tragic is the plight of the children. you'll see it recurring theme of childhood and child likeness throughout all of the pictures that we show you today. london loved children and he loved promise the innocence of chil

of the corruption at the time of the rebuilding of the city. but you will also see that it reflects a very different san francisco. and it is almost entirely, if not entirely, caucasian and it is almost entirely or several the board, all male, but even in the public gallery, there may be two or three ladies with their hats on. but otherwise, all male. and if you look very carefully in the front right row, you will see two dandy gentleman looking straight into the camera, i am convinced they came together. so we now refresh that photograph and that moment in time and we see a very different san francisco and i know that we are all very proud of it. and the recognition of the city tla i love and i know that we all love, it is a real privilege to be able to present a resolution from the state senate, recognizing this extraordinary occasion. and wishing our dear city greater and greater days up ahead. thank you. >> thank you, senator. >> and so before i turn it over to assembly man, david chui and thank you, senator for recognizing the occasion, an

next of them is the brigade of hampton, and in this part of the l is the brigade of lee. that is an odd configuration. isn't it? let's think about what stewart had in mind. his plan, and it is obvious from the way he deploys his troops, is to draw the yankee cavalry in by opening fire with the artillery. he's going to draw them in with dismounted fighting around the buildings, and once he has them fully engage, he's going to launch a mounted attack around their flank and encircle them. in other words, he's going to use the mounted portion as the hammer to drive them against the anvil of the mounted portions of the command. that is what stewart's plan is. it seems very obvious if you know anything about the way these troops are deployed. the barn here will become a critical landmark in the course of the day because witcher's men will end up occupying the barn and use it as a snipers nest. there will be a protracted firefight. his wife and daughters will be sent away. they don't want them to tell the confederates position. he is briefly a prisoner. ultimately, troops will b

it is one of the great mysteries of the battle of gettysburg. but we know they were not picketing the rose, and because of that two brigades of infantry had to do that. one was smith's brigade, picketing the road from carlisle to harrisburg, and then the stonewall brigade, the legendary brigade commanded by james walker, is getting to the west. it is elements of the stonewall for gate that were going to engage on breakoff -- brinckerhoff's ridge. the second of virginia industry -- infantry will engage in protected -- protracted skirmishing, ending when it got dark. minimal casualties but an important fight for the simple reason that kept the stonewall brigade out of the attacks on colts hill. they were not able to participate, and having that extra 1200 soldiers might have tipped the balance. the stonewall dividing the two sides, it will end up being the bone of contention, gregg's men will win the fight. after having a meeting with robert e. lee, the commander of the calvary division assigned to the army of northern virginia will make a ride ov

history of the world and one of the bloodiest in the history of the world. the atomic bombs of hiroshima and nagasaki resulted in the invasion not needing to be done. they needed a supreme commander of the allied powers to rule japan on behalf of the allies and that job goes to general macarthur. this is an example of him understanding japan, he studied japan and the far east and had lived in asia for a while but it also shows his ability to understand the value of symbolism and stage management. this brings me to this display behind me. another one of the murals which shows the japanese signing the surrender of japan on the deck of the uss missouri, september 2, 1945. you can see some of the principles -- general macarthur presiding. dr. -- general richard sutherland. the man wearing the cap is william holley. behind macarthur are some of the international delegates representing some of the other countries at war with japan. notable people here -- representative from the soviet ,nion, australia, the french the liberator of paris in 1944, and you can see som

we have pulled out kind of a handful of artifacts that are somewhat representative of the kinds of objects that we've been uncovering out there at the site. everything from things like different kinds of coins. this is a u.s. large cent. these are spanish. those are silver spanish coins. a lot of buttons. this is really finally made shell button. probably the most common kind of button we find are these one piece flat buttons with a wire shank. very common in the 18th and early part of the 19th century. more two-piece buttons. that one has a silver visible on it. other personal items. this is a clay marble. that was probably a toy. also a lot of architectural debris. this is a complete hand-made brick, also nails, hand rot nails mostly. we find a lot of nails. other kinds of architectural hardware. mortar. brick fragments. architectural type debris. glassware and ceramics. this is a nice olive win bottleneck. this is the finished part and the lip. different kinds of ceramics. everything from the more utilitarian, more produced red wares or stonewares to more refined english made porcelains

sort of evaluation of that language. so i probably have been guilty of writing something that i had -- we all had to live with a lot later when i didn't have the full context in mind. >> what are your thoughts on that, steph? >> y -- steve? >> they start at the beginning of an investigation. throughout any investigation, you're identifying priorities, subpoena involved, you don't take documents off the table, narrow the subpoena, but you do flag priorities. and if you know, as your interests hone in on certain patterns, if you identify those priorities, usually the overwhelming majority of the time, you get the documents that you need to do the oversight work. >> what do you think the court of appeals is going to decide in the holder/lynch case? anybody have a conjecture on that? >> that's above my pay grade. >> i think the brief that's been filed by the house is quite good and interesting. it is worth people -- it is worth reading. >> i agree. >> i haven't seen the other side. and so court will look at both. for good ba

member of eu, member of nato. there's thousands examples of this. how we don't enforce our own laws that allow this type of thing to happen. so things we can do for ourselves to help moldova we don't even need to go there but we don't do it so i think there's a lot of stuff we have to realize that we're going to be facing this instable east for some time to come. the european commission has said no enlargement under this current commission. i would bet there's no enlargement under the next commission. we're facing a decade at least of uncertainty and instability and we have to create new tools by which we engage in nand nato one but not only one. we have to be realistic this is the europe we're facing. it's not fixed, it's not a stable place, the potential for violence continuing is very high, particularly in this part of europe. if there's one lesson of history we've learned, wherever we turn away from the gray zones of europe, we end up paying a higher price later. so we need to engage up front and think about these things now. >> if i could just

one of the endless numbers of copies of this portrait hanging in all of the colonial capitals. in way you would see, what was intended for independence hall is the picture you see on the coronation is the portrait of king george iii what was intended for independence hall. left is whaton the actually was there. you see the similarities between the two, right? the kind of pose. offhed heavily on one leg of the other. the light weight is doing different things, but the body is to one side. buffered by the left arm which is resting on the canon or the table. the right arm is up on the hip, caulking the elbow outward in a pose that would be called akimbo." they are remarkably similar. why is that? because peale's studied art before the war in london. butthis one specifically, the artist alan ramsey made were -- he and his studio making these all the time. that is the point of similarity. yet i would say that deal has transformed it into a revolutionary portrait because washington -- i would say that peale has transformed the. george the third, you don't ever look george the third i

because of the tone of the letter? >> no, i did not. but i would like to explain what in my view happened. you called me in september 2015 as the chief operating officer of the department of defense. i oversee developing a defense program for the secretary in accordance with his strategic guidance. as a result, i am responsible for every single aspect of that program. and as you can imagine, certain items do not rise to my level of attention, and certain do. in september 2015, you called me and asked me to personally get involved in reviewing the information that was being provided. and i committed to you that i would. we briefed you and chair -- the two other chairmen in march. at that point, you brought up new information that was new to me. you said i don't believe that you're being served right and the information on the communications, and i don't think you're being served right by the information on housing. i committed to do a deep dive. which we did. that was finished in may. since may we've been trying to get

that is the basic insight of madison, only because of the jealousy of each. jefferson never sees that. he sees people have become more reasonable like me. i say this as a parenthetical remark, i was on a conference with, sponsored by monticello to discuss the separation of church and state with scholars from all over the world, including two muslims, one from indonesia, one from iran, and europeans and americans. we were all discussing jefferson's argument, separation from church and state. the europeans understood that they agree with the argument, but the muslims found it in -- incomprehensible. they set up religion is important, the state must be involved with it. so that is the whole problem with the middle east. anyway, madison sees this as an example of a new species, federalist groups neutralizing one another. this is how people like himself enlightened the puritans to operate and promote the public good. so the lesson that came out of this american spirit that i told the egyptians, democracy is more than majority rule. it is a prerequisite. it also ne

of 9/11. and i had no idea -- i knew i had a job when i graduated but i had no idea when it was going to start, i had no idea when i was going to need to move to new york and i sort of had to be ready and my first job was just up in the air for a really long time so for me and everyone i knew, the whole economy was really uncertain at that time, and we spent our 20s sort of catching up from that. this was especially true when we compared ourselves to the generation a little bit older than us when it seemed the internet was creating new industries and people were walking off after getting their diplomas with really great jobs lined up, and obviously,

the laws springs from the nature of one kind of creature. from what part of that nature? give reasons to over matters of right and wrong. there is only one kind of creature who understands what it means to bear a commitment or in obligation even when it may run counter to their own inclinations or interests. the connection to the groundwork of moral judgment means we must understand what we mean by "moral.". meanll move from what we by moral to the level of moral judgment, we are moving radically away from the statements of personal feelings, private taste, and we speak about things in a general universal, right or wrong, just or unjust, which is to say good or bad, just or unjust for others as well as ourselves. and so, if we think it is wrong, sometimes this team seems like bloomingdale's on a saturday. if you think it is wrong for parents to torture a child, or one man to hold another as a slave, we say whom does it wrong -- for whom is it wrong? the answer is, it could be wrong for anyone, forever. if we come to the judgment it is wrong for parents to torture their ch

most of all, the principles of enduring. each part of our society government and private has accepted its responsibility to work within the framework of the common welfare. in this way, we have increased the abundance of all. over the years, we have built on these principles. no president of either party has ever renounced them. or called for their destruction. they are the basis of our present prosperity. they are our hope for future abundance. i ask each of you to pause for a moment tonight in your homes. with your families by your side and ask yourselves if these principles have not enlarged your freedom, enriched your life and strengthened your confidence and your children's future, it's thoord believe that we should now be asked to throw them all away. yet today they're all under attack. we are now told that every responsible leader of both parties is wrong and that the american people have been wrong to support them. we're asked to dissolve the partnership between government and people. we are asked to cut await protec

of sort of touted.th the issue, starting with general michael flynn, i followed his career for a very long time. flynn is a fascinating character. his social media presence i think it's the impression he is just a hateful buffoon. flynn actually is a very important figure in the evolution of dirty wars post 9/11. flynn was the intelligence chief for general stanley mcchrystal when mcchrystal was the commander of the joint special operations command -- which effectively operated as a kind of guard for the most sensitive operations being ordered by the white house under bush and cheney. they killed their way through iraq. they had set up a notorious .rison in baghdad later when flynn and mcchrystal were rolling your sleeves up, they moved it. flynn and mcchrystal were credited with taking the strategy that in order to fight a force like al qaeda, you have to think like them. so they started doing a lot more house raids. this intelligence leads to that intelligence. primitive strikes. flynn would personall

less than an ounce of pity of it. as to the legalization movement colorado is the leader in the united states. in the late 1970s and early 1980s colorado past several measures to legalize medical marijuana but those efforts never got off the ground due to a federal law classifying marijuana as a schedule one controlled substance in 1970. that brings us to the current state of the law in colorado. in 2000 colorado passed an amendment 20 which amended the state constitution to allow for the medical use of marijuana. then in november 2012 colorado approved an amendment 60 for making colorado along with washington one of the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. now for a few quick statistics. in 2015 marijuana sales in colorado came in at nearly $1 billion, which is up from nearly $700 million in 2014. i'm sure our panelists will confirm it but i think we're on track for $2 billion in sales this year. that's produced over $135 million in tax revenues so far. currently there are 698 marijuana dispens

course, a result of a practice of the city attorney's office of which i had no prior knowledge of including recitals in the settlement agreement. the settlement agreement can be on one page. there is a dispute between you and me. and i am paying you $25,000 of so you will dismiss your suit against me and release me from any claims and i will releasing you from any claims against me. these recitals are intended with the unfortunate custom and practice of the city attorney's office for mr. farrell to escape public opprobrium first cheating conduct. in any event, i am pleased mr. chairman, that the commission adopt that on motion a policy of permitting each commissioner to express his or her views on the reason for his or her vote. that is important as citizens have pointed out today and i suspect that almost everything said in the closed session is being said in public and in this particular session itself. it is sad and, it saddens me, to see a teacher get away with recitals that will be used with a public and with them media that doesn't pay as close attention to the nuances of this litigat

of popped today is a bit of a head scratcher if you remember some of the conflicts of the primary season, that's ted cruz, his name is being floated. we don't know how serious it is for a potential position for attorney general. he's of course, known as someone with a strong legal background and he was a clerk for the late chief justice and -- a legal history is something he certainly has on his resume. during the campaign, of course, he had a lot of tossle with donald trump. and he was booed by those republicans who were there for the trump convention. what a rocky road they have traveled. today ted cruz said he wants to be helpful. he did not directly addressed whether he's contacted or willing to accept any kind of position in the trump's administration. it is a delicious parlor game and it is in full sort of flower at this point because people are anxious to know who'll these names be. cruz is a new iteration. i can also tell you that lyndsey graham joked that ted cruz would be voted. that's and sort of a we would vote for him to move onto another position. that was all in humor but

the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, the right of grievances. rights, this big web of speech, religion, the right to protest the government when the government is wrong. they listed all of these things as coequal first. then the second amendment says, government does not give you the right to defend yourself, government exists for you to secure yourselves. where did the ninth and 10th amendment get you? ,t is another way of screening there is no end to this list. they say, if there is any right you -- we did not list, you still have that right. if there are any powers that were not explicitly given to the government, the only government that can ever possibly exercise them are states and local governments. the ninth and 10th amendment is a way of referring back to the say --t document to document to say there is an ocean that is limitless. those are the rights of the people. we live and a time when we have not passed on that meeting at all. people fundamentally do not get this. i cannot hear to speak in any partisan way today, but before this y

that's part of the impact of technology. and one of our other working groups really put his finger on this in his paper which is that part of what's happened in the arab world and around the world among this younger generation is what he calls a participation revolution. that because of technology, but just because his generation, we are highly educated, more engaged than any generation before. parts of the region, two or three generations ago, didn't even have secondary schools. this was tremendous and this rising generation has a different set, globalized set of expectations. it's not just about making sure they had a job. they expect to be able to participate, they expect to be able to set their own path in life and not have it directed for them by their monarch or their father or their uncle or anybody else. and absence, what they expect is the thing that liberal societies arbest structured to provide, it's the opportunityfor every individual to find their own path . to put this in philosophical terms. so governance can'

one of the issues is the notion of risk adjustment of status. i can't even say with a straight face. whatever you call it, people say there's a deleterious effect. penalizing hospitals and actually taking money out of their pockets. is that happening to you and how do we fix that? >> that is a long answer. the socioeconomic adjustment is really critical and there's a lot of work done on that. we try not to worry so much and those types of metrics. we are focused on the social determinants. this concept if you look at our communities, it's amazing and how under the surface communities in need but issues have been, they make their voices known. but we've tried to do is look at the socioeconomic factors using things that caught fighting. we know when charlotte their six different zip codes that have three times the ed use of the rest of the population. we are trying not to focus on the methodology and metrics for trying to figure out how we bring better services to those in need. >> are you guys affected by this? >> yes, we are. our institution has

some of them are good. a lot of them are not so good. just for full disclosure, i have been a farmer my whole life, i lost money on an investment in an energy company that had a nuclear power plant, with that aside i certainly don't have issues with the power. there are positive things about the environment from a co2 standpoint and senator feinstein brought up some points on reactor design, the waste is the problem. we have got to figure out how you can repurpose it. we may be changing co2 for nuclear waste and i don't think we want to do that. we want to make sure if we have something our kids and grandkids and generations and generations from now can deal with, it has got to work so i appreciate the hearing. it is a good discussion and i don't think anybody in this committee, i have the utmost respect for you, one to do something our kids will deal with forever. thank you very much. >> senator udall. >> doctor john deutch, usually we ask witnesses to take 5 minutes because that gives more time for questions but you are the only witnes

the we have here is one of earlier maps of the battlefield, consolidated version of it. , you are can see here about two miles southeast of gettysburg, the baltimore needs only supply line at gettysburg. road andhard surfaced wound its way down to maryland where most of needs supplies were. much will be made about it. if there was an opportunity for lee, that lifeline. we will see that he is very close to it at gettysburg. , they were lines used by 12 core to fortify the woods on culp's hill. , and thethe upper hill .ower hill that wall divides henry culpgler's property from ci property to the north. , east side of gettysburg, that will be a major determinant in what happens on july 2 and july 3. that georgearrier meade was hoping his line would be protected from the southerners. which are looking at is the mill race. they had a two speed up the water to the mill. here 12 the water feet deep. lee can't get across, so his battle line as it developed will spread from the farm over here, but the major part of the assaults were made against the upper part, the middle part, and the lower p

he make some of a lot of people. most of the time is not the time is generally good-natured. after he died, it is one of the most vicious things he ever wrote. i can understand in his own ways. overall it's much more charitable. they might resonate with it was a curmudgeonly figure. he said he read huck said but i think you just have a lot of fun in life. he was incredibly prolific. they do not have that kind of work ethic and he was clever and funny. i've been reading off and on since i was a graduate of a lot of baltimore stayed with me and that's part of my personal experience. >> active in the 1920s 1930s. >> he started as a newspaper reporter in the teens. has baltimore morning herald i believe. he started editing, co-editing a magazine with george mason and eventually founded the american mercury and by that point he was a notable american figure or a celebrity. he declined in the 30s because it was quite critical of the new deal and fdr. at a time when they didn't want to be made fun of. you have this remarkable resurgence at the end of his life for at least the end of

places that are important for all of us that's been the experience of us we've served as a place of healing and a place of gavrt a place of honoring our history our culture, and learning about other people's approaches to healing and not only a community based organization but connections with people in the city and worked for 38 years to become the premium provider of health and mental health services and we have addressed you know a number of the population issues in our community from trauma that people face and from issues of family unification and we've been devoted to the idea that we'll remain and support of social and emotional health of the community and made commitments to making sure that we are welcoming place that people can come to us they can seek support and help we see their strength we don't just so the problems before us but the resiliency so therefore we've created many communities relationships with them and families come to us for not only for the pain they feeling but really because they're seeking to find a way to remain health and safety and strong so instit

of the city of london. >> i'm the great admirer of the greatest lawyer of all time but would he said i think is not really what magna carta says but he was such a great lawyer that even his mistakes are of common law. >> digest fund but you wrote a new book what is the outcome that you found in your research? it is uh uh good theory but i am not clear how to implement that but getting permission is all about from your perspective summit that these this is we should not be required to ask permission in the first place. i found so many positive outcomes as i was putting together the examples level hard time finding negative big simples plan -- examples because the psychologist won his case because in his case the institute for justice those that will represent for free were willing to take on that case but we can never really know how many people would have been scared away by a threatening letter by the kentucky department of licensing we don't know with empirical research. but i give positive examples out in the end people take on the system and one. that is my business so let's take

be ane do this it can evolved few of all of our families. decades thet few definition of family has evolved. it spans all sorts of families. the laws and practices for these families has not kept up. families are families regardless of how they are formed. regardless of how your family is , family is the foundation of our humanity. under the best circumstances, maintaining family connections requires understanding, thoughtfulness, and patience. this is even more so for the extended family of adoption. with members of the adoption community representing less than 4% of the population, this is often seen as a niche issue. many fail to recognize the bigger and more complex societal issues and the very real issue that the definition of family is evolving. this has often centered on the competing interests of adults and not what is best for children. the issuesress related to adoption, this can be part of a broader mandate to strengthen all families and regain family values with a modern sensibility. adoption is not a niche issue at all. american

again, part of the richness of our culture and the brilliance of the vision of our founders was to make sure that we didn't get so single-visioned and maintained that broad sense of vision that the country can offer. so i'm thinking we're fine. >> ok. tell me -- my six-year-old said to me. i told him i was interviewing somebody very important. he said you always should start by saying, how is your day? so i want to ask how is your day? >> i'm good. i'll really good. >> but how surprised were you really? >> i started the day by thinking, listen, i am no stranger to elections that can give you a surprise. i talk to my kids -- i have three kids, two in this town one in palo alto. i said, look, because as you know, there's been a lot of chatter, there's been a lot of activity in the streets of the big cities especially, san francisco, washington, new york, where there were heavy concentrations of hillary clinton supporters and that have now taken to the streets in demonstration. but i think my kids, having been through two years ago what my family went through in a real shocker, they too sa

out of the total number of incidents down by 100. in 2014, 127 of 881 and 2015, 156 of 783. so a very significant percentage increase were coming from marijuana that was purchased in colorado. also we've seen the largest increase in some parts of wyoming the amount of marijuana incidents have gone down in the last five years. in northwestern wyoming. but in southern wyoming on the colorado border, we've seen a large increase. so it's pretty clear, the evidence is pretty clear that being a neighboring state that we have more marijuana coming into our state from colorado. much of it purchased from legal dispensaries in colorado than we've had in the past. it does have an impact on the neighboring state. i don't think it's all that debatable actually. but let me just close. i think i've been around long enough, turns out my father was a school principle in pennsylvania back in the 1960s and '70s. in those days marijuana was debated, of course, and also there was big issues in those days about smoking. cigarette smoking. we had in those days it's hard to believe now, there was a

so, there was plenty of evidence of cooperation between the two institutions, by the beginning of the 1970s, the harvard and radcliffe presidents stood side-by-side in delivering welcome speakers to entering women and baccalaureate speeches, and women began to live in harvard houses and freshman dorms and parents of hard regard and radcliffe frenchman joint in the same freshman parent's weekend. women students became eligible to compete for prizes and traveling in post graduate fellowships reserved previously for men. women and men had equal claim for tickets on big football games. the athletic departments were merged. women gap very, very, very slowly to be appointed to the harvard faculty, and radcliffe alumni gained the right to vote in elects for the harvard board of overseer and the first two women took their seats on the governing body. nathan piercy retired in 1971 from the presidency of harvard. having accomplished close integration of harvard and radcliffe. he had succeeded in admitting to the harvard grad wad school of arts and sciences women who would eave otherwise matricu

course, a result of a practice of the city attorney's office of which i had no prior knowledge of including recitals in the settlement agreement. the settlement agreement can be on one page. there is a dispute between you and me. and i am paying you $25,000 of so you will dismiss your suit against me and release me from any claims and i will releasing you from any claims against me. these recitals are intended with the unfortunate custom and practice of the city attorney's office for mr. farrell to escape public opprobrium first cheating conduct. in any event, i am pleased mr. chairman, that the commission adopt that on motion a policy of permitting each commissioner to express his or her views on the reason for his or her vote. that is important as citizens have pointed out today and i suspect that almost everything said in the closed session is being said in public and in this particular session itself. it is sad and, it saddens me, to see a teacher get away with recitals that will be used with a public and with them media that doesn't pay as close attention to the nuances of this litigat

to affect the values of of such assets. the idea that president-elect trump's children -- is not credible. this is not a blind trust and is not an arrangement that will ensure compliance with the emolument clause of the united states constitution. beaver mr. trump has -- mr. trump has said that there is no one like him who has ever obama president of the united states. on that point he may well be connect. h. -- he may well be correct. mr. trump may well violate the office the day he takes office. the purpose of my resolution today is to convey to the president-elect that there is still time for him had to avoid this constitutional conflict. some might ask why -- why should anyone care? it is not hard to imagine circumstances in which a foreign governmental actor will want to give president trump gifts so they can curry favor with him and hope to influence his decisions in a way that benefit them when the president's decisions should benefit the american people. precisely the danger our founding fathers sought to protect ag

you kind of go, wow, you kind of wince. quite frankly, i'm not sure that print journalism had a lot to make up for. to me it was more on the where some ofe the transgressions early on had been. all political analysts and pollsters and operatives, -- of us lot of that going to be looking back at how we did things. same thatrt of the trump was going -- when we sort that trump was going to lose, i wondered if he would get the genie back in the bottle , if any kind of journalism, if trump, this to donald would you be able to get your , down theback up road, for somebody else? maybe you should have just left all the standards where they were. a lot ofre are us that have a lot to be thinking about. naval gazing, not that i have seen my navel in a long time. [laughter] charlie: any questions? >> i'm going to have you permit cost to kate -- have you prognosticate more about 2018. a whip position might have been part of the conversation with ted cruz last week. but you get to 2018, the senate autopsy, maybe they get to how they mapp

of information. >> and of a public place. >> yes. --there is a survey by pew 69% of respondents say their local libraries contribute a lot to providing a safe place for people to spend time. that 50%surprise me is think they contribute a lot toward creating educational opportunities of all ages. the notion of same space actually had more respondents saying yes then the notion of creating educational opportunities. does that surprise you? >> it actually doesn't. your face well. you look slightly surprised. >> well now, it doesn't surprise me. i say space especially and our contemporary society is more valuable. neutral space. people are seeking that. as much as seeking educational opportunity. >> wended libraries start to play that role -- winded library start to play that role? the role ofas play say space in our community. a consistentis goal and value to our communities on our behalf. just in terms of the educational statistic, there are many people who may not use libraries or not be as aware of libraries. they certainly don't und
