and release of tumbler of 1774.thomas gage, the british general, has been put in an impossible situation. he might have had a chance at convincing the people of boston to pay for their tea and to begin to respect the authority of the parliament if they had stuck with the boston port act that when they came up with of the massachusetts government act that meant he appointees replacing people that from their perspective should have been elected, they went crazy. and many of these appointees were forced to flee into boston. and he decided with of these growing tensions it was time to round up as much of the gunpowder as he could because each town had a certain amount of gun powder and they were in the powerhouses all around the province. he was determined to get the powder out the powerhouse that is now modern somerville so in the early morning hours, he said some soldiers in boats at the mystic river and the operation went on without a hitch. they were able to get the powder, to get on to counsel william which is wher

on the first part of your question there is an end of the double-fault of america of the federal government we live in a country where not all things are permitted. there is a constitution of the united states and articles 1, sections eight and ten. it is made clear in the first place that congress has the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof. in a word, congress under the constitution is giving the authority to establish and define the dollar whether it be a weight of gold, silver, not the federal reserve system. the federal reserve system is a mere agency like the federal communications commission or the old interstate commerce commission. it is a mere agency of the federal government. so there is an indispensable minimum, if not more on a provincial basis, involvement of the united states government initially by congress having the power, the sole power to define the gold weight of the dollar for the gold standard to be reestablished. .. >> you have done an excellent job with, as have many others, that the currency standard need to be replaced. could you elaborate what appe

the teeth of opposition of russia and china or either one of them?e discussion of what the assumptions are regarding russia and china. >> that is an excellent question. thank you for opposing it. i hope conventional wisdom is true and those are constraints that will be meaningful if ever the moment comes when the new leader seriously contemplate military action. i am wary of conventional wisdom, particularly in this area. it is plausible to me -- we have a young man in power in pyongyang who might be in power longer than castro. maybe his ambition is to play the status quo game, brinksmanship, keep the regime going, at enrich himself and his family, led the state and society fester as they do. maybe that is the limit of his ambition. and maybe he believes that he needs to be deferential to the preferences of beijing and moscow and maybe not. to me, it is sort of impossible that his vision for a castro like tenure would be to preserve this very ugly status quo. i am equally concerned with the possibility that he might have the ambition to fulfilled th

a lot of it came out of pocket.cines were not the first presidential couple to leave much poorer than when they came in. there was quite a hefty amount given to her to redo the mansion, which she did very well and spend the money very well. >> a furnishing budget. the previous occupants had brought their own furniture in many instances. when they left the presidency, they took it home from them. jefferson is one of those who did that. when washington was in new york and philadelphia. this was the thing dolley wanted to do because she thought it needed a stately, elegant look. they took the decorating very seriously and wanted to make it look as if it could be on somewhat equal terms with the power of europe so they could conduct diplomatic negotiations in a proper setting. >> it sounds to me, there is a constant push and pull between wanting to be seen as equal. >> a real dichotomy. >> it is one of the reasons we look at women, as well. you have the revolution and the fight against everything it stands for, but now

problem in terms of the efficacy of this kind of strike. also, considering how we fashioned the strike, if we are to go down this path, that we not respond in an asymmetric way to serial provocations because it enables the regime to calculate risk and this is something we consistently sell into the trap with the iraqis in the 1990's. they would challenge us in the --fly zones and we would really, they had an almost inexhaustible supply of air defense systems and personnel. they were not high on the priority list. they were not so important for the regime and they could afford to lose them if they wanted to challenge us and likewise with their wmd facilities. not to respond in asymmetric matter but to hit other sites that are critically important for the regime. toin, units that are key prosecuting the fight against the opposition. i think it would also be desirable if we could do it to intimate that whatever we do is not a parting shot but an opening salvo. there is more yet to come. again, the problem is the administration has, for good re

robert higgs author of dilutions of power and anthony gregory author of the power of habeas corpus in america talked about the protection of civil liberties in the u.s. since 9/11. it's about an hour and 40 minutes. good morning everybody. welcome. it is a tremendous honor to share the stage with bob and anthony who are two of my favorite people and i admire their work enormously. this is a huge topic we have to cover tonight. there are a lot of aspect and it's going to be a challenge to be able to cover some of those. i have warned both bob and anthony that i will be holding them to tight schedules so we can get through it and we will have plenty of time for your questions and we want to have a good discussion following. in your association goes back many years and it's been fruitful starting with the production of this book crisis and the episodes in the growth of american government pity it was first published by oxford university press in 1987 and remained in print ever since. we were very honored to be able to issue the 21st anniversary edition last year and your work has certain

of colorado board of regents.is about 45 minutes. >> we have seen two different ways to do the panel and i will leave it to you this morning, guy benson spoke from the high a stool and we saw the young voices panel make an opening statement here at the podium. what do you prefer? would you rather speak from up here? >> i would. >> okay. >> hello, everybody. my compliments on this conference. great speakers, great subject matter, and a wonderful coast to coast audience. i'm honored to be part of this and i am aware of the fact that there is a crisis in higher education. textbooks cost that much. that's not a crisis it is a problem. tuition is too high and that is a problem. it's not a crisis in my opinion. it is a serious problem though not a crisis yet that students graduate from college with way too much student debt. problem, not a crisis. parking is on tv to inadequate on every campus in america. that is a detail. that isn't even a big problem. students gained 15 pounds the first few months the attend college,

things, of land and, alas, of person. and in instances there was a passion, sometimes self-righteous, sometimes self-abdicating, for doing good even if that good included for its sake and in its name acts of murder. thank you. [applause] i will take questions, and michael has the -- so he gets to choose. choose nice ones. >> i'm interested in clarence king, a man with a very big secret. could you say more about him? >> i could say much more about him and, in fact, he was, became very interesting to me. the secret to it eluded to here is the fact that clarence king was a very young man. he didn't go to the war but, rather, went west and surveyed the west and became the first chief of the united states surveying expedition, was very well known, a bon vivant, brilliant man, evidently. a club man, a good man, a man who wanted to be a writer and wrote a very popular and still, i think, very good book called "mountaineering in the sierra nevadas," a man who loved the west and who kept a secret, and the secret was that he was th

of the correctional officers, of the chaplain, of the prisoners is essentially that of colleagues. you know, the correctional office -- everyone knows there are particles to observe and everyone is scrupulous to try not to screw up in a way that will make their life more complicated. but i don't think that coming you know, day in and day out the correctional officers are seeing the prisoners as this people that need their rehabilitative efforts. the chaplain also, you know, they'd rely a lot on the chapel workers. and in general, you know, there are moments where has it happened in the book on tuesday there is a kind of you know, resurgence of something like criminality and suspicion and it throws everything off because everyone suddenly remembers we are in a prison and you are free and i am a prisoner. but in the day in and day out, they are all kind of working age of eight hours at a time. >> host: it could be the opposite -- i think that is one of the powerful ways and which you tell the story. the reader can forget as a moment as the folks are talking about the detail and about

of the dangers of commanders who had nuclear codes of accidents, miss readings on radar, of nearly pulling the trigger, of pilots going off course, of all of the shockingly mundane things that could have ended all of civilization. this speech has to be understood as a remarkable leadership that helped pull the world back from that press of this and that by itself means it is one of the hinge moments, decisive moment stands teachable moments of modern history. i didn't know much about it i have to admit ten years ago. in fact i barely knew about the speech itself but i did stumble upon it in listening to a tape, compilation of kennedy's speeches and fell in love with the basic idea in this speech and the idea in this speech is that it was possible even at the height of the cold war and just months after the cuban missile crisis to find a path to peace with the other side and this was not a popular view at the time. indeed among kennedy's advisers it was far and away a small minority who felt that this was possible. this was a time in which the knowing on both sides of the iron curtain fell

of the life of muhammad. merryl wyn davies: the prophet's final sermon sets the agenda for modern contemporary muslim society. it shows where we failed and it shows were we have to try to get to, it sums up the transformative mission that was the life of the prophet. rageh omaar: after his farewell pilgrimage, muhammad returned to his small house in medina - exhausted. he had begun to have headaches and fainting fits. he tried to attend public prayers in the mosque but he was more and more confined to his bed where aisha nursed him. one day he appeared to get better and the news spread like wildfire around the oasis. but it was only a brief reprieve. on the 8th june 632, muhammad died in the house of his wife aisha. the news stunned his followers. some refused to accept the truth. panic began to take hold. how could the messenger of god be dead? his closest companion abu bakr calmed their fears reminding them that muhammad had never claimed to be anything other than a mere mortal and that only god is to be wo

of the correctional officers, of the chaplain's, of the prisoners is essentially that of colleagues.the correctional officer everyone knows the protocol and everyone is scrupulous to try not to screw up in a way that will make their lives more complicated. but i don't think day in and day out the correctional offices are seeing the prisoners as people that need their rehabilitative efforts. the chaplains also, they rely a lot on the chapel workers and in general there are moments where as happens in the book on tuesday where there is this kind of you know, resurgence of something like criminality and suspicion and it throws everything off because everyone remembers oh we are in a prison and you are free and i'm a prisoner. but day in and day out they are all working at job eight hours at a time. >> host: i think that is one of the powerful ways in which you tell the story. the reader can forget for a moment as oaks are talking about detail or talking about movie deals. anything could be at stake and we could be anywhere and at the same time we are in graterford. >> guest: it's one of

and again, it's a sort of blame -- it's the sort of blurring of the larger class of fame of, really,the ruling class of the public perception game, that's as much a part of this decadence as anything else. >> it's a fun book to read, as i said in the beginning, but there's something troubling to you about this story. >> i'm troubled by seeing how people react to it. in two ways. one, seeming very legitimate and very gratifying outrage it has brought outside of town. because it gives me a level of -- it gives me a degree of faith that people can still be outraged. even when they're being amused or entertained, or, you know, being hit with nuggets or whatever it is that people look for. in washington, i've been outraged, again, like i said, by the complete lack of discussion it seems to have begot. the complete lame pushback. the complete, how dare he, of this sort of trying to make me an outcast, that someone who has spoken out of school. and someone who has tried to expose -- actually, i don't want to say try to expose the racket, because it makes me seem more muckraky than i really

i of the philosophers of hard to resist doing a little of that. with the realization, a lot of books written on these subjects and on the financial crisis and i wanted one that was readable. there is narrative nonfiction like a big short by michael lewis but it focuses on five guys you never heard of and doesn't give a lot of argument. then you have a lot of analysis including by many good ones here in washington so what i decided to do to split the difference is try to combine these things and put a section on additional resources at the end of the books of if you are just starting on this and wants to dig deeper, go to peter walston's book for the truly, those who are not faint of heart is about 550 pages long but you will get the story in detail. another thing mark said that is right, i do primarily emphasize affordable housing policy as the causal link in the crisis but i don't think it is the only thing. i also think policy and too big to fail mentality had something to do with it. what i was interested in was i don't know the fed policy too

nearly 65% of those between 15 to 24 years of age are out of work. the latest unemployment data in greece was released as president obama was meeting with their prime minister in washington. >> greece is going through incredible challenges. and so far, the prime minister has taken some very bold and difficult actions to initiate the structural reforms that can help reduce the debt burden that greece experiences, but even more importantly, can unleash incredible talent of great people so they are effectively competing in this new world economy. praised president obama greece posse economic initiatives, residents of greece say years of tax rises, wages, and pension cuts continue to take their toll. -- tax rises from the ages and pension cuts, continue to take their toll. >> i am 66 years old, unemployed and will not get a pension three at i am looking in the garbage for something to be. >> a miami beach police officer has been placed on paid administrative leave after he fatally shot an 18 euro graffiti artist with a taster. the teenager, israel hernan

degree of control of command.s the impression people might get is that they're talking a certain way but they are running michele. it is a decisive moment in american policy realizing that it is not able to do a lot of things. not to talk to many factors. people talking to many audiences . i could be wrong. my impression, and a scene analysis that may support that, i don't know that the united states is in control. if you're suggesting based on the assumption that it is in control and can actually bring -- it can exercise sufficient pressure for whoever is powerful and that law, major -- letter may be multiple factors combined on see that. watching to an extent. the hope is that the division, the confusing of the exacerbation that exists in the population will end. maybe they agree to kill a few dozen people so that they can move on. there has to be a sense of agreement. people have to decide something. >> i am a businessman. i have a question. the two events in egypt could be related to a we know have their sprin

of school. you are here in this room because you know who those kids are. i know you know what those kids are doing when they are not in school. whether it is in brick factories or other forms of labor, been trafficked,- being they are missing out on the chance to build a future for themselves, their communities, their families. we will get think he million of those kids into schools and it will have a profound impact on the future of those societies. even when we get kids into educational environment, it is not going to translate in its own right. i had a chance to read some of the comments prepared for this conference. i want to applaud eric for asking tough questions. are we using the best evidence? are we deploy our resources, which still place us in the number one spot in funding educational efforts globally? are we using those resources to improve learning outcomes with the weather and science and evidence you have collected in your research papers for this conference and in this room? tho

and the last sort of breadth of that was the end of the civil war. americans know nothing about the story. we owe so much to those haitians, exslaves who defeated four of the most powerful army of the government in well twelve and a half year war. one of the great story in history. >> host: this month on booktv's in-depth program, author and activist randall robinson. he is the author of five non-fiction books. here they are. beginning in 1998. mr. robinson wrote "defending the spirit." finally an unbrokenning a any haiti from revolution to the kidnapping of a president. 202 is the area code if you like to dial in and participate in the conversation. you can contact us via e-mail booktv@c-span.org. or social media. you can make a comment on facebook.com/booktv. or send us a tweet@booktv is the twitter han dahl. what is transafrica? >> guest: transafrica was the -- or is the organization that i began in -- 1976 to galvanize african-american opinion on foreign policy issues. particularly issues that concern the black world. u.s. policy toward africa, t

question of what is l the role of the law, of the academy, of the media, of social movements, of churches in intervening in this conversation to reshape it. kendall, it's time for you to go first. >> the short answer, there's no single role i think to be played by any of those institutions. speaking of someone who professionally is part of the legal community, i want to be real clear that one thing i would not urge is an expectations that the law can do this work. if there's anything i have learned in the over thirty years i have been thinking and working on questions of law it's that the law's limits are sometimes greater than what it can accomplish as a political tool. but i want to go back to this question of the image that the president offered of the generation to which his children belong as a generation which is experiencing and therefore feeling and thinking differently about these questions of race and racial justice than someone say would say of my generation or yours. part of me finds -- cannot help but find that really power of the and beautiful insofar as it hold out the hope

they do it tells the story of the era of the cold war of the point of view of the third world so it is a really unusual paradigm shifting of history. then "the poorer nations" i will not talk about a much but it covers the period of the rise of what we now call the global south rather rise and fall of the global south from the play to view of the global south the erev of neo liberalism. so they really are books that turn the intellectual political history of the 20th century in the present upside-down. if you have not read them, they are mind blowers i highly recommend them. of all the books that i have been lucky to work on as an editor and i worked on both of these, these two are by far, by far i am most blessed to have worked on the ones that i learned the most from and i am proudest of and i am proud to say -- to see vijay ideas out there to make impact he just the back to give the keynote address to the un conference on trade and development which she writes about quite a bit in "the poorer nations" and to see him standing in front of this international body of experts and develop

of course, of course, said the senator. yes, we have some people, some of these people called communists back in the days of the greek theatre. hand she said quite true. i believe, continued the senator, i believe your these --euripides was guilty of teaching class consciousness. that was almost all of the greek dramatists and the congressman on the side, so we cannot&o cf1. december 5th half they are the work of some disciple of today's school of modern art, he insisted, confirming the suspicions of nearly all experts. 20 years later those experts admitted they were wrong. it was proven that the longing for beauty, like under and desire has always accompanied the human adventure in the world. many years before that thing we call civilization, we were turning bird bones into food and pc shells into necklaces. we were making colors by mixing rocks and plants to beautify and turn our bodies into walking things. when the spanish conquistadores arrived in veracruz they found indians walking around naked. with their bodies paint

of chairman of the, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff wrote to the u.s. senate armed services committee last month, referred to by my right honorable friend, the member of parliament, paul blackburn, that in examining five options to control chemical weapons. and i think we're all grateful to the extra briefing the library, this would involve billions of dollars each month, and risks that not all chemical weapons would be controlled, extremists could gain better access to remaining weapons, but with the added risk to troops on the ground. so the situation -- >> mr. campbell. >> here, here. >> mr. speaker, it's a secret that not withstanding the whole of the damascus, i have reservations about the use of military action, the circumstances with which we are engaged. in particular, those reservations to the absence of a proper role for the united nations. if the government motion now sets out, there is a role for the inspectors with a duty imposed upon the secretary-general, and that an endorsement to use every effort to secure united nations security counci

of the people of his state. first and foremost with everyone in that state. and then dealing about afterwards. my wife had her appendix out in the middle of the night and john called me read right at the time the tragedy happened and did the same check-in, one of the benefits was having him be there for me. he was asking how we redoing and how we were holding up. that is really powerful. after the case we looked at it and we saw the similar situations. this includes domestic violence problems. we saw the outcome for that in our case and in our situation. it went beyond this. terrific individual could use explosives or whatever and we raised some serious questions about this and the response, recognizing there's a bigger issue dealing with the health concerns that go beyond us. it was, untreated mental health, and in one case or another, similar cases, as well as domestic violence issues. that is the path that we saw fit on. that is the path that we chose. every study is unique. >> governor walker is right. it do

, 18% of the patients, 27% of the visits and 37% of the cost. it's just theroom room and hospital care. all over america they are living collected in buildings. many of which you are funding through state funds and federal funds. these are the two most expensive in the city. these are beautiful buildings with great management. 600 parents who are mostly dual eligible. these are disabled seniorsed at $12 million in payment for the care to go bark over and over to the hospital. the building at the bottom. 300 patients a nursing home 300 patients had 15 million in payment to got hospital. we have mapped out data all over the cub now and found the same pattern in newark, specific buildings collecting high cost patients. in the state of maine with the help of the governorrer and his commissioner. we mapped out three counties and a rural state. it's hard live in the middle of no wrp nay didn't let us show use, but these are town hot spot of high cost complex patients that get down to the building level that, you know, we in even in a rural state are c

you know, if i were -- >> of the silence? of -- >> yes. of the lack of debate. we're living in an economic system that isn't working. so, i guess i'm a little bit like one of those folks in the 12-step programs. before you can solve a problem, you've got to admit you've got one. and before we're going to fix an economic system that's working this way, and producing such tensions and inequalities and strains on our community, we have to face the real scope of the problem we have. and that's with the system as a whole and at the very least, we have to open up a national debate about it. and at the most, i think we have to think long and hard about alternative systems that might work better for us. >> i was intrigued to hear you say elsewhere that this is not just about evil and greed. and yet you went on to say capitalists and the rich are determined not to bear the costs of the recent bailouts or the crisis itself. you even go so far as to suggest, as to question their patriotism, and that they may not have the country's interest at heart. if that's not greed, wh

what also the symbol of terms of inflows agreed. influence in terms of military power not very much but if i was offered the choice to be in the country with great influence or great military then i would choose being a country with great influence what do you make of the b.b.c. coverage of your complaint having both in both places the b.b.c. scotland and then the london paste operation i think. the chairman of the b.b.c. trust recently said he thought covering the referendum was the biggest challenge that the b.b.c. had ever faced. i think it has a difficult challenge and i'm not sure that it's getting it right at the present moment. broadcasters by nature usually an out and find more balanced than newspapers and newspapers don't have to be balanced nor should but broadcasters have to be very careful to be balanced but the b.b.c. finds scotland a challenge because so much of what they report for example in the network news or goes right across the u.k. and do this broadcast internationally they report for example scandals in the he

have you a miniature of homer, the writer of the great epics of greece.n you have a painting of pan and youths. this was 200 years old when they purchased it. in the way of blending the classical and american they were trying to place the events in world history. this is a room where all the guests would assemble before dinner and have a chance to meet one another and converse socially and casually and then they might be invited to dine in the dining room. after supper, the ladies would adjourn back into the drawing room and maybe play a game and be served coffee and tea. this was a social center of the house. if you were a part of the intimate circle of friend you would be invited into the dining room from the drawing room. here dolley madison in an unusual setting for the period would sit at the head of the table and her husband would is it at the middle of the table. dolley would direct the conversation and james could engage in conversation with the people to his right or left. this table today is set for eight people but there could be as many people

all of them are guilty of war crimes. condoleezza rice rice, rumsfeld, all of them. these are criminals that are running our country right now. the media is turning the other way and pretending it didn't happen. you can go to what it all means.com and read the report of all these war criminals and leadership positions in our country. host: we have about 13, maybe 15 minutes left for this segment. we're asking you your thoughts about syria this morning and what the u.s. response should be. as you can see on the screen, secretary kerry yesterday said the use of chemical weapons in syria was a moral obscenity. you can talk about that quote, or the international role, lines are on the screen there. and parta, new jersey is on the line now. richard, a democrat. caller: hey there. host: hey there. caller: hi, hi, yes. it seems to me this is all about the use of chemical weapons. i would think the best thing to do would be issue an ultimatum to syria to turn over all chemical weapons to the united nations in 48 hours or face elimination of the regime. i mean this could work

boehner, speaker of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the order of the house of january 3, 2013, the chair will now recognize members from lists submitted by the majority and minority leaders for morning hour ebate. the chair will alternate recognition between the parties with each party limited to one hour and each member other than the majority and minority leaders and the minority whip each, to five minutes but in no event shall debate continue beyond 11:50 a.m. the chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon, mr. lumenauer, for five minutes. mr. blumenauer: thank you, mr. speaker. five years ago if someone asked what a bow tie-wearing progressive democrat from oregon and my colleague, ted poe, a cowboy boot-wearing conservative republican from texas could agree on, you would have said, not much. today we are partners in an issue, however, that makes sense regardless of your politics. ensuring sustainable equitable access of clean water for nearly 800 million women, men and children who don't have i

of the government oversight committee of the house of representatives. the subject of today's hearing is examining the skyrocketing problem of identity theft related to tax fraud at the internal revenue service. the order of business today will be, we will begin with opening statements from members, and then we'll hear from our witnesses. we have four witnesses today, and i will introduce them later. i would remind members, it looks like we're going to have votes commencing about 9:15 which gives us, about 9:30 we will again try to get through this maybe most of our witnesses. we will then recess and return probably for questions at that point. so with that, chairman issa and myself, we usually start these hearings by saying that just generally that we have a responsibility to investigate problems with our federal government, for lack of a better term of some of those problems we call them scandals or wasteful spending, or conduct by federal agencies or employees. and this is not an opportunity to say to take on irs, but an opportunity to follow up actua

of -- 20 years of jeopardy. our decree was lovely, we are going to do a lot of things, but the one flaw in my opinion is our esteemed mayor and county commission left in zero sea level rise. even though they say we will plan for it, even though they signed the agreement with the seaied projected two-foot level rise by 2060, it is extremely frustrating that we are doing our for part, where talking to you, and the epa approves the consent decree because the clean water act does not have climate change and forced. however, the clean water act requires operational resilience. i need help. >> well, i hear your plea for help. i think this highlights some of the challenges that we all have to work together to face, and that is there are a lot of federal programs, and we have started federal agencies -- and epa has been doing interesting and innovative things to think about how to incorporate impacts of climate change into their program. it also illustrates that as with the stafford act, with the disaster response that

of history conspiracy's just three days ago this yea expanded such a place known as area 51 does actually exist. even though they disavowal of any knowledge of any aliens conspiracy theorist to not agree. [laughter] the best way to sum up is from page eight where he says the pundits tried to write off political paranoia and they are wrong. the fear of conspiracy has been a potent force across the political spectrum it in the establishment as well of 3308 of those pages layoffs often funny and did detail one present-day but old conspiracy that we talked about that i personally relate -- remember it made its rounds the folded $20 bill trick that made its way after 9/11. it is on page 300 tear. -- 302 if you don't know if you fold the 20 just the right way it shows how the world trade towers are ablaze that allegedly for shattering the 9/11 attacks. i don't think that can easily be dispelled as quackery but other examples of so-called conspiracies may take 50 years for the real information to c

of chemical weapons use. on the outskirts of damascus. it is midday in moscow and we are coming to live with me. thank you for joining us for the program today it seems is not only whistleblowers now being steamrolled by the u.s. government but also those who somehow. just days ago london police detained the partner of the guardian reporter who's been publishing edward snowden's revelations . his computer disks in the process the email provider of a bit permanently. shut down the service after it was demanded to hand over information about its customers following revelations. he doesn't want to perpetrate what he called a crime against the american people by cooperating with the government. if i had continued to operate i felt like it would have put me in a ethically compromising position. in other words the service no longer would have been what i intended it to be which was a secure and private method of communication for americans so you posted a message on line saying that you were in an impossible situation that either you would quot

operate in the sort of shadows of this new world and of course the effect of these wars is kind of facilitating this anti-american sentiment this hostility toward american interests and and this country causing blowback i mean it seems like such an obvious concept yet when you go on the corporate media it's ridiculed i mean they literally do ridicule and scoffed the idea just like when you're on m s n b c n. do you really believe this i mean why is it that this obvious reality is either framed as friends or completely omitted from the discussion and i mean part of it is because we you know we don't have a lot of journalists that are going to these countries and talking to the people who have been declared as enemies by the united states government i mean what i found when i went to be on province in yemen and met with tribal people who are tribal leaders who are rather receiving end of the drone strikes these are people that level these are people that want osama bin laden to with you know in the terms of lindsey graham and all these other people they have every reason to be against al qaeda bu

however none of this would be possible were it not for the work of the team nikolski of the simeone of the institute of chemical physics in moscow the team discovered even to his own surprise it is certain temperatures proper and plastics substances can be ground down to a very fine powder which led to the development of this machine we are the only ones in the world to use the dry method if we take the mix of making mixed asphalt concrete with. put the required amount of tire powder in it you like you move this method. amounts of time. before the invention of the share in juice grinding machine builders had to use the so-called wet method of adding the rubber to the pitchman this involved heating the mixture for a day which is what is required excessive amounts of energy in time to cause the pitchmen itself to deteriorate it's no wonder then that other countries are trying to follow suit with around fifty payton somebody machine it might take them a while. forty despite our best efforts when machine a parts but into the studio show you exactly how it works. and here it is. now the onl

they were members of the disciple of christ.er father was one of the founders of the eclectic institute. they believed in education of women. this is a fascinating phenomenon in ohio. you see this with all of the presidents' wives born and raised in ohio, equal education for women. lucretia garfield went through grade school, went to the eclectic institute. she studied the classics, she learned how to speak greek and latin and french and german. she studied science, biology, mathematics, history, philosophy. right away, if you can think of passion coming to the world of ideas, there was a passion struck between the two of them. james garfield came from a very poor family. he never knew his father. he had been a canal boy, one of those young guys who would walk with the mules and pull the canal boats. everything they got, they greatly appreciated. he felt that education was the answer. he was her teacher at the eclectic institute. he went to williams college and they began a correspondence. that is where you begin -- it is the wo

all of these kind of failures in san francisco? >> unfortunately, we have them all. the rock from here is used from the sea wall. it came from this hill. it was a itgnoll that was present. because of this blasting that occurred, the rock is weak. while most of the time, there are times of heavy rain. sometimes, this has nothing to do with the rainfall. iraq is 50 to an old and then it just falls. in this particular area where we're standing, we have seen the wall at the base. >> the big steel beams with the fence. this is an effective way of preventing the rock that does fall from causing damage. that might protect the bottom of the hill but it doesn't do anything over the hill. >> it has long been my understanding that the city of san francisco says and the building department takes this position that there is no one buildable lot -- unbuildable lot. i wonder if this is realistic. >> if money is an issue, we can develop solutions that will mitigate the impact. that a solution can be eliminating the hill, that can eliminate the pro

of a war zone. shooting erupted this morning as police moved in force to clear away the main sit-in site occupied by supporters of morsi. >> ( translated ): this blood-- a man was standing next to me-- in a second he was hit in the chest and died. he died in a second, he was hit in the chest. what have we done? we had made a barricade and were standing in front of it, we didn't do anything. we weren't doing anything at all, we had our hands up in the air, like this. why are they killing us? >> brown: an egyptian internet t.v. service showed police apparently firing live rounds directly into the crowds. but state t.v. broadcast this infrared footage and said it showed the pro-morsi crowds firing at police. some residents said the protesters shot first. >> ( translated ): they are firing on people, with guns and automatic weapons. the army and police are over there. do you hear that? people can't even stand or see what's happening and they're firing heavy weapons on us. >> brown: at least two journali

of -- how would a possible legalization of millions of unauthorized immigrants and the creation of a guestworker program affect wages and jobs? what does the evidence say about the extent to which immigrants are assimilating into american culture in recent decades? are immigrants and net drain or contributors to the welfare state and did they mainly come here to work or to get state and if it's? for that matter the political impact of immigration is something that has been debated. what should we expect from increased legal immigration in that regard first is the status quo? these are legitimate questions that go to the heart of one's worldviews on such issues as in equality and fairness the proper role of the state in regulating business and labor, cultural and national identity issues, and fiscal policy just to name a few issues so it's no wonder the sudden interest on the part of republicans and democrats to address this issue has caused heated exchanges exaggerated claims come to and some amount of nastiness. that is why i am pleased today to be able to host a forum for a book th

the presence of our city is successful because of the vitality of our immigrant community. and we know the future of san francisco rests with the future of our immigration and i am grab community. so, i want to thank you for being part of this. ~ immigrant as adrian mentioned in the late 1990s, the first time i set foot in city hall was when i was working as an immigrant rights attorney. working on the fact as you know our immigrants, our noncitizens have incredible challenges in becoming citizens. not only do they have to wade through immigration codes that are many inches thick. they orphan have to spend a ton of money to pay attorneys as well as immigration fees. not only does our federal government have enormous backlogs when it comes to immigration applications, but it's a very daunting process and this is why as the mayor said, it is so important that we get immigration reform done. in the mid 1990sst i actually worked for the u.s. senate. the last time they passed a so-called immigration reform bill. ~ that immigration bill was a punitive bill. it essentially sent th

we have to remember that being progressive stance for values of inclusiveness, of tolerance, of acceptance, and we need to think hard about how we characterize various votes of either being within that definition or outside of that. >> before i ran for office, i worked in san francisco as a criminal prosecutor and a civil- rights attorney and really got to understand how much of a beacon to the rest of the world san francisco is for social justice. i also been spent a number of years helping to grow a small business, got to understand the innovative spirit here in san francisco. at night, i volunteered as a neighborhood association leader and also as the chair of an affordable housing organization and learned so much about the challenges facing our neighborhoods and facing a really special tools that are the urban villages that we live in. sen for assistance -- facing really the special jules -- jewels that are the urban villages that we live in. san franciscans during campaigns read everything they are sent in the mail. love to meet candidates. a gauge with them in conversations. i also l

of course, all of this was untreated. in the 1960s, we were still pumping all of our sewage out to moon island, untreated. we would get swimmers here, never knowing, in the middle of summer, why you would have a cold. well, we were swimming in diluted sewage. melosi: the major way to deal with pollution, at least until early into the 20th century, was through the process of dilution. the assumption was that the capacity of rivers and streams, and even the seas, allowed for certain levels of pollution that eventually would purify themself. as we get later into the 20th century, it becomes clear that the volumes of waste made dilution unworkable as a single solution. and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants across the united states. today, with evolving technologies, the waste travels through multiple stages of treatment, removing tons of solids... settling out microscopic parti

one of them. and he sang my favorite version of the sam cook song, a change is going to come. beautiful, beautiful rendition. and it is amazing to have you here to bless this site where he based his last song before he died too young. as a district supervisor for this area, i am genuinely excited to welcome a new park into our district. many of our residents know this. we have the fewest parks and we have the smallest parks in the city. and compared to residents of other parts that may have 25 acres per residence, we have less than one, about .7. so, this park is a very important addition to completing the neighborhood that we live in. an active waterfront helps address this deficit and i'm excited to see 57,000 square feet of a park and 400 foot expansive green go up in this neighborhood. and monique said it, that this neighborhood really lives through that. and, so, i want to thank our residents. we fielded many calls as people lived through the building of the neighborhood around them. but i wa

i'm a graduate of city college of san francisco. i was one of the flower in your hair college drop outs who came to san francisco during the summer of love. i dropped back into college late in my career -- my work career. i am retired now. it took me six years to graduate from city college since i was working full time during that time. so, i stand before you as one of the nontraditional students who were targets of accjc's effort to change city college's long-standing mission to serve multiple learning communities. in my six years at city college, i consistently found the teachers to be both engaged and engaging. after i transferred to san francisco state, i had several teachers tell me that their best students were the transfer students from city college of san francisco. two things i would like to ask the board of supervisors of san francisco to do. first, if you haven't already done so, please read the california federation of teachers complaint against accjc. it's a lengthy document, well researched and well written. what's cle

generation of parachute the fewer of them you know with. the institute uses the latest in computer design and modeling technologies in addition to the least the institute has made over five thousand different partially types one thousand of which are ventured into mass production they range from anti spinning cargo chutes to low altitude invest you power shoots some of them have an area of up to three hundred seventy five meters squared and can carry up to twenty tons. i am doubt the computer design is then sent to this factory to be turned into reality. in addition to this production facility the institute also has researched engineering and technology schools over generations the institute has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise which allows it to create such a diverse range of parachutes advances in materials mean how ships can be more compact enjoyable than ever in addition we use new materials in parachute construction but i suppose but in the past it's parachutes were made for nylon fabric no we use more modern materials s

there have been reports of the killings of hundreds of civilians. this has raised alarms in the kurdish community throughout the region, but also in the krg. to do something to defend or protect the kurds. but these decisions really need to be courted native.-- coordinated. we have discussed it in baghdad. the iraqi government, prime minister maliki and the government are fully aware of the tension in syria and the danger of al qaeda and the nexis taking place across the border and in syria. and declaring the islamic state. but i believe that really he will ask the newly formed kurdish national group to investigate us before making a decision. so it is not going across the tigris are fighting another war there at the borders. there have been discussions between the syrian opposition recently to resolve this conflict. but any decisions i think will be courted native with the-- will be coordinated with thegovernment of iraq. this will not be unilateral by the krg. -- will be coordinated with the government of iraq, any decisions. >> a few threat from

part of. the boat gives you an idea of the evolution of the parachute design over the decades they have been used in the army. here's the six model developed in the soviet union in the mid seventy's. basically featured a circular canopy with steering vents and the top of it to me and apex. because the shape of a hemisphere in profile thanks to the course. with the new developments in the aviation industry and the increased need for massive air drops we had to invent a new design and we could deal with midair collisions better between parachutes and that's how the detainee chute emerged to the group with one of the industry continue to push for even heavier capacity better maneuverability and improved safety when landing in very strong winds used to be. the only requirement was to keep the same. size and weight shoot a few minute will be here but is occurring in you almost your body. it is a. d. twelve has proven to be the perfect solution thanks to its unique design of the canopy shape and the
