after that, jacobs and parsons formed two teams. we had to decide -- a locked t f them had to decide which side to be on 3 at the end of that marriage, they competed against each other. aecom won the second five years. every time we went through this process, you had to retrain, rework, get acclimated with the team. that was one of the big lessons. we wanted someone who would work with us for the long term. the other thing we wanted to do was look at a contract in strategy. one of the things we have learned here is that we want to be more inclusive free we want to look for opportunities to bring contracts down to making sure people with small businesses can participate. that's one of the first things we are going to do on this contract and we are going to work with aecom and parsons to help us identify the opportunities to do that. it's a whole bunch of other lessons learned. those are some of the things we have learned. there are a lot of things we deployed for the end of that we want to pull in early, like risks. we want to assess

parsons was doing a lot of risk management. since most of the projects are in construction, we did constructionaecom -- we did ask aecom to continue those services. those are the types of grouping, and if you want to go into more detail, they are in your package, or if you have any questions, you can let me know. either myself or julie can answer your questions. commissioner vietor: i have a question. i am still trying to understand, as these water projects moved out of the wsip to the water enterprise, i see in package -- 3, i think it is? item 12. for example, there is a contract for recycled water. we sit recycled water project. >> i just want to make it clear -- i think i am making it clear that infrastructure will deliver the projects. we will have the contracts and issue the contract. it is just, for example, the siting. that is a political thing, but we will work on it, but whatever choice you plan to actually site the facility, we have the project manager. we have the designer. we will work with dpw. we will implement a

parsons was a bit of a dandy. he died his hair black, always wore nice clothes. and he kind of became the leader of the anarchist community in chicago and created a whole subculture of anarchists and social revolutionaries there. they had their own picnics, their own concerts, their own sporting events. >> what did they believe? >> all sorts of things. i mean, it was kind of various stripes of anarchism. and, you know, there were, even among people who called themselves anarchist, there was various views about the best way to proceed, about whether anarchists should vote or not, to what extent they should participate in the system, reform it from within or just push back against it all. so, it was a fairly eclectic group of people that he had gathered around him. and it was at one of his speeches in 1896 -- or 1886, rather -- in the haymarket square in chicago, that he had finished speaking. it was kind of a rainy and stormy night, and he had finished his speech, gathered up his wife and children. they had left to go to a bar to get out of the rain, when a cordon

the one nine hundred fifty five or allowed to travel all the water which will not my colleague tom parsons has been down to the state and we look more into the loopholes that could have been shifted to the thinking about the charge to be on the fold on sunday. and tragedy. means a bit there are three of them in the cabin my son my daughter in law and my grandson my son said he tried to open the cabin door holding his child when the waves crashed into them and he lost grip of my grandson he so he swim towards the light and made it out alive but i can't find my grandson or daughter in law. now amidst the grief comes the anger and the questions are genuine if you do your job you don't understand anything. area pleasure boat sank in just three minutes on sunday now some people are saying it should never have been on the volga at all that they will stay in the morgue area past those two hours before it looked an awful condition of their donor pretty boy it's going to show before it sort of i would never have been allowed to say that growing evidence seems to point to gross mismanagement on the

in a putin says he wants the country to have its own ratings agency to get fair ratings but nick parsons from national australia bank says it will only be trusted if it's even tougher. the only way in which an ratings agency can build independent global credibility is if it seemed to be free of all pressure now the only way in which it can really be seen to be free of all pressure is to produce a lower ratings on the bonds all the assets that it's asked to consider rather than produce higher ratings because after all if a new ratings agency whether it was in europe or whether it was in russia or whether it was anywhere else in the world if a new ratings agency miraculously decided that in its opinion the rating was substantially higher than anyone else had previously thought i think that would raise grave doubts about its credibility so ironically enough the only way that a new agency can build credibility is to produce a lower rating which of course would defeat the whole purpose of the object. let's move to the markets now oil is trading in near four day high signs of rising crude dema

the essential mission creep of going outside intervention into the libyan situation now he parsons' between what's happening in libya the bombing of the former yugoslavia and fight saying that the bombing campaign by nato against colonel gadhafi has actually gone on far longer than the bombing campaign that was conducted against parts of the former yugoslavia. it's obvious that. the bombing should go on until gadhafi backs off but the human cost of these political statements very high. well it wasn't just libya that was on the agenda. to speak about he also brought up syria he did say this he was concerned that the focus seems to be wholly on the assad government and how to get rid of. this isn't acceptable that the opposition should resort to violence provoking peaceful protesters to join acts of violence and therefore making them a target for police or security forces a message has been wanting to put across has been that they want to hear voices not violence to try and come to peace in the middle east and in north africa libya. nato claims its targets only military facilities dr franklin

is the most hated company in the war although usually at the top of the last is monsanto monsanto parsons figured out a way to completely co-opt seeds and by having the scenes blow around and doing the work for them and then. there see the currency as i like to think of it is in full training the scene stocks everywhere so harry on the mexico you're trying community to be self-sufficient you will at some point be relying on scenes so how do you fight against that are you actively trying to fight against that it would you agree that monsanto is one of the most pernicious corporate players out there i absolutely agree that monsanto is one one tentacle of the evil monster that the industrial global. society has become. big controls are seeds and therefore food begin to gie poisons our water they ed controls the messages we receive every day through all we think we're free of course but we don't have the control over so many of these factors what we're trying to do in this and also many of our neighbors is rely on heirloom seeds so we purchased a bunch of heirloom seeds and we're going seed t

attacks from politicians across europe they are being accused of bias and being alarmist however nick parsons from national bank the national australia bank believes the claims are not justified what they are doing is taking into account a broader range of factors than simply debts and the immediate ability of a country to repay it for example japan has got a debt to g.d.p. ratio of more than two hundred percent but the ratings agencies are rather happy to live with that because there's a number is significantly higher than greece for example but the ratings agencies say two things first of all japan is a developed economy and it will over time create tax revenues and also it's got a very high level of savings so therefore it's able to finance its debt through internal sources so it is necessarily bias but i can understand that sometimes it can seem a little unfair but actually i think that unfairness itself and that charge that somehow the ratings agencies are not doing well actually i think it rather shows that they're doing their job. all right let's take a look at the markets now with thi

when we have the form of the parson in from islamists on liberals over the last few months and i don't think this is very healthy i mean it's not it's not really has to do so you put spit on who's not what i'm shooting twenty eight so for john kerry the muslim brotherhood were there on the perspective very strong. to be honest they are very well revised they've been working on the ground on the ground but on the ground for a long long time period not the most on the kids or at least when i will start to know what's muslim brotherhoods about. and we have to give them some credit for them but i think that inflated does not ask we want the power for their vote is that inflated that we hadn't thought would think. they are not as ready as we think to the election and stuff like that. but they're organized and i think some of the people of the blaming them for a lot of things what i mean if you don't really. i mean if you don't have to just decide to come to much good if you want on the other hand because he works for a long time underground sometimes they say a lot of silly stuff and you ca
