. >> i hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to the city wide resiliency. >> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question. what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so t

and resilience means options, right? and resilience means capacity to respond as churchill said, to do your planning and to be able to response what comes next. your -- plan a will be the first victim. and that's understandable in the operation. but astal albany said we need to do plan b, what we switched to. that can only happen if there's a structure in place prepared to execute b, c, d, and e or whatever that plan may evolve into. that requires uniform contracting, personnel procedures, funding. oversight. doctrine, training. and that all occurs before the operation begins. if you try to do all of that, after it begins, they wrote their own personnel regs and they didn't succeed as much as we all would have liked because of the improvisational nature of it. improvisation in the area of national security is a bad planning system. and yusoco couldn't resolve it. >> steven? >> after the best part of a decade watching iraq go closely -- 33 trip s? >> 34. >> 34 triples. how do you use the future of iraq. how do you see it

i mean when you have all this biodiversity, it generally indicates resiliency and that, that's the key to good conservation planning. the question is how do we foster resiliency, how do you keep all this biodiversity around, how do you generate it? well, we may find the answer right here. join me on today's expedition as we explore a land that has been the last refuge for so many, a land that in many respects really is an island - california. >> ♪music. >>roar of airplane. >>california! where better to talk diversity! >>♪music. >>there's more than just a diversity of faces in california. this is our most bio-diverse state - ridiculously so! there are over 5,860 different types of plants here, 2,153 of them are endemic - they are found nowhere else. add to this over 540 birds, 214 mammals, 77 reptiles, 47 amphibians, 83 fish...and, well, you get the picture! why? the state is big - it's huge! but there are small places here where diversity is really high. it's more than size. to begin to answer the question we travel to one of these diverse corners, torrey pines state reserve, just outs

with the city, and to really pitch in to help our hometown, the bay area, become stronger and more resilient. bay share is a collection of companies and stakeholders in the sharing economy who see the value of coming together, to pitch in, to start initiatives, to be a resource, and to collaborate with our city officials and our communities to help build a stronger community. a more connected community is a more resilient community, and communities that are connected are communities that share. and, so, it's a natural partnership and a natural collaboration for us to work with our cities and the bay area to help build a stronger community. we are incredibly excited for our users to engage in department of emergency management initiatives. we are powered by the citizens of the bay area. whether they share cars, the city car share, or get around, share space through liquid space or para soma, or air b & b, or share stuff through yerdal, those are the people that come together and help each other in good times. those are the same people that are going to come together and help each other in dis

you are going to see this in light of the quite sobering statement made last week on the resiliency of mr. assad that it will factor in prominently. >> as you know, the dempsey letter did not bring up the option of aiding the syrian rebels with arms. support giving arms to the rebellion? >> i could see a role for assistance to the rebels. there are a host of questions. who exactly are they? how does it plan? when you do that, the logical next question is what will be the future step? context ofin the those kind of consideration. i guess this prompted some tough decisions. the senate finance committee told them if they had ideas on inorm they could submit them the ideas would be locked away until 2064. did you submit any? what do you make of this idea of keeping them secret? no one will be, much surprise by my submissions with respect to tax reform. haveell over five years i been involved in bipartisan approaches for this. it really goes back to the date when rahm emanuel was still in the house and we could not even find a republican sponsored. i have consistently said the from 1986 wet

so some of these big tech stocks are just incredibly, incredibly resilient. this week, we have about 20% left of the s&p 500 companies. i think we're going to see a very similar pattern. probably decent earnings, light on revenues, but the market's holding in there. - thank you for coming on, scott. - thanks angie. it's setting up to be a cautious trading week. traders are in a waiting game with the federal reserve. the two-day fed meeting kicks off tomorrow and curiousity continues as to when the fed might pull the plug on its bond-buying program. meanwhile, reports say president obama will announce a replacement for outgoing fed chair ben bernanke in september. rumors are circulating democrats are pushing for current fed vice chairman janet yellen to take over the post. jp morgan may be moving toward a break-up. friday, reports surfaced that jp morgan chase is pursuing strategic alternatives for its physical commodities business. it follows a recent new york times report the bank has warehouses filled with commodities such as gold and aluminum and may be in

they are breaking under ho rendous set of circumstances and yes we can discuss resiliency and all these other things, but we have to have room in the conversation for our very sensitive kids as well. >> thank you so much. [applause] >> all right. one final thought from each of you and we have to wrap it up and i want to talk about your project and with the schools. >> i want us to think about -- as the day we have been challenging ourselves what we can do to make a contribution, one of the things to think about is the way in which i'm trying to address the problem of sensitivity and there are some kids of different thresholds and definitions and everyone has the right to their emotional truth and we need kids to learn more social skills and resiliency and all of these things that i am doing and never would have done it and hit me in the last year or two. i was going to do a chapter -- i am and kids on the spectrum of autism andace perers and targeted or initiated into perpetrating, which i dealt with last week, are perpetrators and aggressors, so i wanted to work on that so i'm working

join me on today's expedition as we explore stories of hope, survival and resilience here in california>>♪music. >>a state with seemingly boundless diversity! a land of plenty that was california. a place for dreamers, a refuge for relics - there always seems to be room for all types here. man's hand has greatly changed california. concrete rivers, monster cities, and endless valleys of grass that are today, only crops. persecution and changes nearly stripped the state of the greatest biological treasures and some disappeared completely. the state flag itself holds the image of the extinct california grizzly. there are miracles of survival too. many of the most compelling stories can be found along the picturesque coastline. one of the best places to observe the unique life here is one of my favorite places on the planet, point lobos state reserve. >>that's a cute little guy isn't it? that's a harbor seal. it's really one of the most common and widespread seals in north america. matter of fact, that is the seal that most people have seen, if you've seen a seal on the east coast of the u

all right, zach, tell me, is this a story of kind of american resilience and bounce-back? >> first of all, it's a story of an economy that is essentially muddling through. in a world that four years ago thought that it was going to implode, muddling through and having the space to think about future problems is not a bad thing. it's not the economy that americans dreamed should be their economy. it's not this world of endless prosperity opening up like a funnel going forward and that sense of limitations i think is a cultural issue. we need to separate the cultural issue which is we don't have the economy we had 30 years ago with the structural issue. we have a very stable system that has lots of flaws and problems but is certainly not going to implode, is likely to modestly expand and should at least give us the space to deal with all these issues of health care and immigration reform and wealth inequalities. >> and the american private sector is extraordinarily resilient. it manages to adjust its balance sheet, it sheds jobs when it needs to, it adjusts. >> it does. you

what are the protective factors which are the strengths and the resilience? then you continue to build that out because every member of the family has a strength. it doesn't always kind of coordinate well sometimes when the family is disruptive. that's when you bring in the other sources. so there is several, you know, parenting skills, young people skills of knowing when to say "i need help." knowing when to say i can't do this anymore and go to that protective adult, a trusting adult. there is the schools are a protective factor, the community is a huge, faith based, there is many of them. endless. endless sources. kim, i want to go back. we had a conversation off camera about military families. as we look at the returning members of the military, the veterans that are coming back, what special challenges should service delivery systems be on the lookout for? well, i'd say first of all when military service people come back they've had -especially if they have been in combat-they've had experiences that may be extremely horrific and they are very invested i

that stability doing well relative to others that's not good enough well look we do have a very resilient consumer in russia backed by a tight labor market that's going to keep growth ticking along above two percent now you know i think it's also some upside there because we've had tight monetary policy up till now and we have very tight fiscal policy if you look at if you look at the budget spending was running thirty percent growth rates in the first quarter of twenty twelve we had the election in the first half of this year it was flat that means down six percent in real terms with through that tightening of fiscal policy so i think actually growth will surprise a little bit on the upside in the second half as a result of the easing of policy together with that resilient russian consumer and so considered considering the external environment again relative is is good but not good enough. if what we're doing in russia compared to the rest of europe definitely see the difference much more dynamic consumer spending more debt in the west to europe but of course every day expectation in thi
