that goes from a military perspective as well as an economic perspective across the board. i think we are intertwined together and that's a clear message from my perspective. the president has pushed for a 500 -- 1000 megahertz or more if possible. we are definitely pushing hard towards 501,000 that we understand. what does that drive? one of them is it's driving technology, driving technology to be more efficient. how do we do this better, make it so we're not a spectral on? the pcast message was clear, it spoke to both the federal aspects of it and the commercial aspects of it. so those are intertwined. how do we get better across the board so we use the limited spectrum that we have more efficiently. that's good for all of us. slide. i love this life because we talked about what we have to do. try to we've all of the spectrum through, everything we do as a spectral impact whether it's electronic warfare, whether it's talking to a weapons in an aircraft, whether it's moving stuff from fedex across the country, all of this touches the spectrum and its, we we this through a

so that's the perspective. and at the same time, how do we get the technology to move faster to allow us to do these things because that is very difficult. there is no doubt about it no matter where you are in the globe from that perspective and so that is an important part of it. going back through to a comment for the 2025 where the dod is jumping in, one of the reasons why we like that is because of the fact that oversees it is not a broadband. so from that perspective it marries up very well with other systems that if we went into other countries we would be able to use that frequency without interference from host country systems. so that is why it was useful from our perspective and actually that is in the 1755 to 1850 band which goes back. we have to be aligned as a world if you will buy the virtue of the interference that you're talking about because of some of those things so that the part of the discussion that we are having and i can guarantee on that. would be premature for me to comment even though

that is the perspectives.at the same time, how do we get technology to move faster to allow us to do these things easier? that is a very difficult and no matter where you are on the globe from that perspective. that's an important part of it. going back to a comment, 20 25-2110 in the reasons we like it is overseas-wise it is not broadband. from that perspective, it marries a very well with other systems if we went into other countries that we would be able to use that frequency without interference from host country systems. that's why it was useful from our perspective and better than 1755-1850 which goes back to the five gigahertz. we need to be aligned on that by virtue of the interferences. that's a clear part of the discussion we're having. i can guarantee and it would be premature for me to comment even though i work on it for about two days. there that is. guys are chuckling because they were here with me on that. >> i'm with fujitsu. cyberspace is basically flashes of light and spectrum. how does your

that explains the reason why the byzantines developed not the linear perspective but the inverse perspective and that there was a very specific theological need or reason for its development. so this distinct relationship, which is developed between viewer or beholder and the image is very important to the artist, to the patron and whoever-- a theologian, in fact, because theologians were a very significant part of the decision-making process as to how you decorate a church and the very specific practices that were established in terms of the selection of the imagery, what was appropriate and where they would be placed and how they would be placed. so the relationship with the beholder is one of the most important elements. therefore, you can understand why a centralized architecture would be an ideal place for the display of these images. now, the second point then, the relationship of the image to the architecture. the architecture-- for example, because the images need to be placed frontally or possibly, at most, turned slightly in profile, there are scenes, for example, on the life cycle

i know one company that was doing it from a hardware perspective.n they did the prototype, they had an all-male team. when the woman that was testing it was poking at the phone with her fingernails, they had to redesign. >> what will be your focus with all those trends out there? what are you going to be looking closely at? >> our focus that unifies all the way from enterprise to the consumer application layer is this mobility everywhere theme. whether it is a security software company to i t health -- where i spend a bunch of time, but really 70% of internet traffic is to mobile devices. it is an application but they have been very acquisitive in the mobile space because that is where the action is. >> those were the founders of aspect ventures. is tech really responsible for rising rents and housing prices in san francisco? we come back with some surprising results. ♪ >> welcome back to the best of bloomberg west, i'm emily chang. is technology responsible for rising rents and housing prices in the city of san francisco? the answer may surprise yo

, whether operating perspectives or investment or -- perspectives or gender perspectives, it adds toottom line, and studies show that. >> do you think the fact that you are women gives you an advantage because of your different perspective? >> the data shows that having different perspectives in the boardroom, particularly around gender, that has been studied in both public companies and private companies, it improves the bottom line. it also increases the chances of success. >> can either of you name a single investment where you thought, i think i get this in a way they don't? >> i have done a lot of investment in the social commerce space. one would be a company like birch box, discovery of subscription e-commerce. the subscription is for beauty samples. people were like, will women pay $10 per month for stuff that they can get for free if they walked down to the department store? well, over 300,000 people pay $10 per month two years later. >> are there less obvious examples in terms of a technological perspective? i wonder if there are things there as well? >> you want to talk wi

government broadly, both from an intelligence perspective as well as military perspective that's greatly mitigate the threat to u.s. persons, both overseas as well as in the homeland. >> and the believe the signature strike model, if adopted by other countries, that are developing an armed drone program can be a threat to the united states? >> well, there could be, but i would have to comment on, to the extent we can talk about this here, the great care that is exercised by the united states. and so i would hope in being very precise about which targets to strike. so i would hope as other countries acquire similar capabilities that they follow the model that we have for the care and precision that we exercise. >> one other question. as marked up by this committee, the fy 2014 intelligence authorization bill includes an amendment that i sponsored requiring a written plan for each covert action program to prepare ahead of time for the potential leak of that program. it increases the threat to u.s. sources and methods if the intelligence community is caught flat-footed by a leak and the rea

that turns out to be the most precious perspective. apt in is particularly that there is a whole discussion about incentives. we could easily spend all of our time focused on that and whether congress is going to enable it or whether it can, with forward. action come ideas are continuing to grow and improve. that this document -- cyber security is not a state, it is a process. this really helps to lay out a process to get there. it is a continuous one. >> the question of incentives is one that has been spent -- that we will spend some time on. demonstration put out some work on incentives that might have reflected some internal discussion about how that ought to work. what i'm hearing from you is that you would rather take the discretion away from incentives and focus on other aspects. >> i wouldn't say ignore it. , this is a process. it is a process that we will continually improve. where we have improvement mechanisms, they will get integrated into this like everything else. in the intervening time, let's do the baseline work that we

we want to see more of a micro level program for student perspectives. like what supervisor kim was saying about if the classes are interesting or not and we want to know why the students are not gaining more credits or also there is negative change. we want to know why and an example would be to have surveys or have visiting programs of classes or sites to get a youth perspective and as always our committee is always willing to help with some sort of evaluation like this and engaging the youth in determining what services are very beneficial inclosing the achievement gap. i hope to hear from you. >> thank you. i do of a question for you. when i was on the board of education we worked to pass a resolution on a student evaluation form for teachers in high school. i was curious as to how that program was going and if we continue to do that work? >> yeah. this year i think they launched like a pilot teacher survey at low well high school and you were able to rank a survey about teachers and i think they are analyzing that data too. >> great. thank you. >> y

. >> what's your perspective about whether we should be adding this at this time. >> i mean, my perspective is certainly -- and i appreciate soup upervisor wiener's comments and the needs to address the streetlights. my concern, i think goes to the process that we've had and that we do have a capital planning process. we've had, i think somewhere close to five meetings on the emergency response bond just since november. we've had the capital plan update that happened last april and we've actually had meetings in between then so my concern would be how do we make sure that we're living up to that process and making sure we're not introducing things late in the game that haven't been fully understood or considered by the capital planning committee. >> thank you. i also have a question for our controller. i think one thing we appreciate about our bond measures is we made a commitment in 2006 that we would really try to ensure that new bonds as they cycle on wouldn't go over the 2006 tax rates and i'm wondering if you could make a statement about the impact of the additional expenditure on the

they are from perspectives that make for great content other than just your own personal perspective.ll me about the business. you are profitable. you brought in more than $500 million last year. what are the numbers looking like? >> very good. we are going to make at least 2.5% more. >> will you make more than a billion dollars this year? >> business is good. we're keeping in line with the trend of growth. >> obviously you are profitable and you are making more money. people always ask you about going public. the market is looking good. twitter filed for an ipo. when we you guys go public? >> i have said before, we are getting the company prepared. it gives us an opportunity to take the company in the direction we want to take. we have been profitable since the beginning. going public is a luxury, not a necessity. we have to see how things shape up. >> i did not know that foxconn, they are known for making iphones, but they are a big investor in you guys. >> 8% were 9%. >> how is that partnership working? >> it is fantastic. i met him through her lead investor. his funds riverwood in

i wanted to bring to this form of a small farms perspective. our farm is like a lot of other farms. it started about 30 years ago. i grew up on a dairy farm in san jose, california. we have a farm about 350 acres now. our farm has been focused on growing about 70 different crops on those acres and we're focused on the health of us will come on stewardship, of natural resources, fostering more life and health in this welcome growing farm pollinators in a diverse system where we are trying to create a form that is ecologically sound and impact. we are looking to create market access as passionate as a beginning farmer. we started with borrowing $10,000 trying to figure out we buy a tractor. that some of the skill you're looking at. we -- where to go in able to get into the farming business? a lot of young, small farmers are asking the same questions. we were interested in country at we deal with pesticides and food. fair return for our workers. the health and vitality of a form that can be generated several communities once again thrive but the issue of food safety needs to be put int

so we are addressing implied lines suggest perspective, the system of linear perspective and the way in which all the parallel lines appear to be converging towards a centric point in this work. when we look and continue with implied line, let's look at vermeer's painting of a girl seated behind a desk. there are no actual, clearly defined lines. you can identify shape. you can identify form through the distribution of light and use of color. however, line is implied in the compositional arrangement. the figure suggests a pymid, a triangular composition and if you look at the painting that has been introduced in the painting, it suggests a very rectilinear direction. so lines are implied rather than really drawn. let's go bacto the caravaggio and look at color. color is another exceptionally important feature. now, color and light in nature really work together. but in painting, we can actually separate them. and we can discuss them separately or in very close relationship to one another. color, in caravaggio's work, is very important. and color is achieved--you have a very natural r

but from the public perspective and what we are paying for. i pay verizon because i want to watch netflix or amazon prime. from a consumer perspective you don't want to see i have to pay for a cable subscription to get this. there is no real advantage from a consumer point. give me what i want and i am happy to pay for. what comcast and time warner have done is limit those choices. allowing a merger like this makes it that much worse. >> host: does the department of justice have a role in this potential merger? >> guest: certainly. they will have to review it and see show they will draw the markets. they might say these guys are not competing head to head so let's move it around. we need to look at how dominant it is in the broadbrand offering where i think this might be the only giant in town. they need to look at the triple play market with voice, internet together they would be 52 percent of the market. those are the issues that justice needs to scrutinize and look closely out. the obama administration stopped the at&t/t-mobile merger. we n

but affirmative action race conscious decision making back from the perspective if you did not prefer based on race and making decisions on objective basis that is fair to everyone. when i say integration is apologetic mirroring the critique of society, of what i've read is practices like the admission criteria went unchallenged because it was assumed the fact that american applicants with these kinds of standardized tests that is because they become less prepared. that is the unfortunate consequences of our past. as opposed to the critical examination whether the ls 80 should be used as admission criteria if it has a disproportionate impact. the justification has been neutrally tested it does correlate with performance of the first year. but this is the manner that i am arguing the integration has not worked to defend to keep from kentucky -- critique because the practice of the first year of law school were developed in the era of apartheid that they would justify a separate but equal as legal and consistent with the province of equal protection of the law. to use the first year of

keep in mind also from an antitrust perspective, comcast is not taking out a rival, right? so time warner cable doesn't compete in the same territory as comcast. they're going to divest maybe three million subs, i understand, to try to stay under that philosophical -- it's not legal, but a philosophical -- cap of 30% cable customers. but i think what's really interesting, what's threatening cable companies in general right now is over-the-top video. and craig is right, you have to get that through a broadband pipe. but from a programming perspective, you know, we see "house of cards" as being the hot topic of the past few days through netflix, but youtube and amazon and other stuff that's user generated is quickly being looked at not just through a cable screen, but through a mobile screen. and actually, that's quickly becoming the number one screen. some of that's through licensed wireless, some of it's through unlicensed wireless. but there are a lot of interesting dynamics in this marketplace right now. so it will be very interesting to see what kind of antitrust scrutin

it makes good sense in long-term perspective. it's nice to see this happening and from a pr perspective today, and longer term this helps a great deal in growing their business. now they can sell their products easier. they can go ahead and tell planned sponsors and employers, the government for that matter, the services they sell in controlling drug-benefit costs is there, and it's not going to harm their members when they come into the stores. >> not just controlling costs, but actually having as part of the profit picture bringing down medical costs. a company like cvs with the various businesses it's in has incentive to help people get better. >> absolutely. that's a trend we're seeing in the public healthcare community. part of keeping people healthy is embracing the culture of health and give the opportunity to make the community of making those healthy choices as a default. decreasing the density of communities to buy a hammer unfortunately product and increasing the opportunity to make healthy choices. so in the long run

or the [ inaudible ] perspective. because the u.s. been [ inaudible ] when it comes to standards on labor and the environment, there is no other country that wants to do it except the united states, which makes sure that the environmental protections are not undermined, and in fact are often strengthed through these agreements, and it's often developing countries who push back. we're at a different stage of develop. and [ inaudible ] labor is something which makes our exports more competitive in your market. so if you think there should be stronger environmental and labor standards, then you would support the trade agreement from a development perspective you may not think they are appropriate for all countries, so it's a mixed bag here. >> i would just jump in on that that was a leak of the environment chapter that was fairly recent, and it is true the united states was pushing for stronger standards. every other country was lining up against the u.s., and the actual text of the agreement was going more towards the other countries' p

or an overseas perspective. the u.s.as been a leader when it comes to trying to include in the agreements standards on labor and environment. there's no other country that wants to do it except the united states, when it wants to make sure that environmental protections are not undermined. it's developing countries pushing back and saying we don't want the environment standards, the labour standard, they are not appropriate. we are at different stages of development. cheaper labour is something which makes exports more competitive. if you are in a developed country and you think there should be stronger environmental standard overseas, and you support the trade agreement, you may not thing it is appropriate. it's a mixed bag. the u.s. is trying to make sure that a lot of standards are raised globally. >> i would jump in on that. there was a leak of the environment chapter that was fairly recent and it is true that the united states was pushing for stronger standards. every other country line upped against the u.s., and t

is the sf mta from my perspective be the agency in charge? are you driving this? from my perspective it's different from being at the table and driving and being accountable for the results. what is your thoughts about the governance here? >> absolutely and walk first came out with many plans with public safety and this is an implementation plan looking at the 70 scmiels a collaboration with controller's office, public health department and planning and the sf mta so it's absolutely a collaborative environment to look at what is happening on our streets and what can we do to move forward in terms of plent so i think we have made strides? this effort. >> who is in charge? >> the mta is in charge for the most part. we are tasked with the individual projects and collaboration with them. some require collaboration but for the most part we will do the planning work and the implementation and finding the funding securing the funding through our budget or of the grants to actually make the improvements. >> i appreciate that and when i asked this question several years ag

>> i think you might want to get a couple of perspective here. the overall reaction we've gotten him the very beginning was a combination of intense interest, wanting to wait to see what it looked like when it was done, and most promising of all i think, and understand that this could be used as a foundation for a variety of approaches around the world, even including those areas that were considering more national response, even including a radio toward response. because one of the things we point out is again, if you want, this is a global infrastructure. it's really important that information and data campus be able to operate on that scale. that's what make those technologies so powerful. than aligning to just like with as our own intro regulate and the critical infrastructure space to align to this, is something that can be done on the international scale. we've had a lot of positive reaction to that. the most interesting one was coming from europe and it had to do with the fact that in the same week the president releases the executive orde

it's nice to see it happening, and nice to see them from a pr perspective today. but in the longer term, this helps a great deal for growing their business, because they can go ahead and tell plant sponsors and employers, and the government for that matter that the services they sell in terms of costs, and controlling drug benefit costs is there. and it's not going to harm their members when they come into the stores. >> not just controlling costs, doctor, but having as part of the profit picture, bringing downstream medical costs. with cvs. >> absolutely, and that's the trend that we're seeing, not only in the healthcare community. but in the healthcare community. that part of keeping people healthy is embracing the culture of health. and giving people the opportunity to make those healthy choices as a default. and what cvs is doing, as dr. schroeder said, decreasing the sensety of opportunities to buy a harm of product, and increasing their opportunity to make healthy choices, so in the long run, they're increasing their opportunity to keep people healthy, which

chris is going to provide some background on the act as well as consumer perspectives. chris? >> thanks, charlie, thanks for the farmed foundation for the invitation. again my name is chris waldrop codirector of food policy. cfa is a nonprofit consumer advocacy or decision founded in 1968 to advance the consumer interest of research, education and advocacy and we are made up of about 300 member organizations national as a small state and local organizations all across the country. since fd is not here today i will do a little background on fsma and talk about the context of how fsma came into being because i think that's important as we're thinking about implementation. cpcs at 49 americans are second every year from foodborne illness, 3000 won a 20,000 are hospitalized. the economic costs society of foodborne els elves have been estimated to be $77 billion per year in terms of lost wages, medical costs, time off of work and that sort of thing. in the years leading up to fsma consumer saw just a sort of steady stream of large nationwide foodborne illness outbreaks linked to co

and what is happening with the developer's perspective and also the city's perspective as well and i think it's good to have a 101 in how affordable housing gets built and there are complications at the federal and state level around the ami and commissioner fewer brought up and we get 60% subsidies for that and our first year teachers and families are under that it excludes a number of sfusd professionals and how do we build at that rate and leverage the dollars and i think in santa clara they issued certificates and they controlled who lives there and we can't do with federal or state dollars for affordable housing but it's an interesting and important conversation so if there are no further comments i will -- >> [inaudible] >> we have a motion to continue to the call of the chair and i will take that motion without opposition. [gavel] . thank you. are there any other items or announcements madam clerk? >> there are none. >> then our meeting is adjourned and the next meeting is february 4. thank you very much. >> we've never been in so much focus worldwide and will not be this this

>> you might want to get a couple of perspectives here. the overall reaction we have gotten from the very beginning was a combination of intense interest, wanting to wait to see what it look like when it was promising of all, i think, and understanding that this can be used as a foundation for a variety of approaches around the world. even those areas that we are considering a more national response, including a regulatory response. because one of the things we point out, again, this is a global infrastructure. that really important information and data companies be able to operate on that scale. that is what makes these technology so powerful. aligning too, just like we've asked our own internal regulators in the critical infrastructure space to align to this, it is something that can be done on the international scale. a lot of positive reaction to that. the most interesting reactions have come from europe and have to do with the fact that the same really -- the same week that the president released the executive order, there were some d

which was chairman bernanke he's perspective is that when you when you prevent deflation even when the driving force behind it is productivity improvements what you are doing is risking a so-called profit inflation where you're making your holding up prices you keeping them high despite falling costs of production what that means is that in the short run you're pumping up profits artificially when those profits normally would tend to be kept norm at their normal levels by falling product prices and those artificially high profits tend to get magnified in the stock movements based on the anticipation that the profits are going to persist for a long time so you get the stock market. bull markets and stocks you get bull markets and real estate's basically it all boils down to this that interest rates are lower than they really ought to be when you try to offset productivity gains driven deflation and that's unfortunate in contrast if all you're doing is preventing at the place and do the collapsing demand what you're doing is keeping interest rates from being artificially high and that's

but the black nationalist perspective when it's not understood simply as another form of racism because it sees race to make a difference between people, the black nationalist perspective is a deep philosophical confiscation of those assumptions of integrationist in the first confiscation of the most important one from my dearth is contesting the idea that there's a national on, natural way to perceive each other. neutrality is a real possibility. the very idea of racism consisting the mistake of consciousness is contested in the black nationalist to buy different historical view of racism. racism consists in the maldistribution of power, prestige and wealth. between races in america. and in social form rather than a match in a to simply treat everyone equally regardless of race, social form of racism has been understood as a massive ordination of one group to another in the solution to that subordination is not equal treatment. the solution is reparation. and then on the institutional form, just as integrationist and saw the institutional form at this individually consciousness view of

what would that hegemonic role look like from the israeli perspective and the perspective of the gulf countries? today there's a greater confluence between israel and these gulf countries. agreeing on egypt or the fundamentals of the peace process. hope most of all that they agree on the iranian threat. that maintaining the ability to have a nuclear weapon is a unsustainable threat. it is a threat that is multifaceted. it is not just a threat of being of to put a nuclear warhead atop of the capital or any region and the city. i just watched a video clip of the iranians that they put out. they show striking american allies in the region. the bigger threats come in the form of providing nuclear umbrellas to terrorist organizations that could attack israel or other countries in the region with relative impunity. they will have to think, if we strike back, with that precipitate an iranian breakout. that is an immense break on latitude. beyond terrorists getting access to nuclear capabilities, you do not have to worry about rockets. you have don't worry about it not being traced or going t

. -- in a new perspective. 1948 when richard nixon was a member of the house, un-american activities committee, and he was investigating alger hiss for communism, he never dreamed that 24 years later he would be in china opening china to the west. it's extraordinary when you take a life journey, and you have a sense of adventure this your heart and curiosity and openness and follow what's emerging rather than keep to a rigid path what changes you can make. and i have a confession to make to you all today along that line. in 1969 i was a graduate student at the university of texas at austin, and what do you think i was doing? i was protesting the vietnam war and richard nixon. and on that day i had no idea that i would be here today celebrating richard nixon and his marriage. so things do change.
