we need to thank the library as well as the southwest school of art for opening their doors to host nearly 100 authors across the country in the world representing a richmond right of genres and topics all in one day. so i hope you will be staying here for the entire day. while the festival continues to attract more and more people as you can see by your surroundings, i need a request from you.we need your help to make the city and the world aware of this festival and as such, if you will be using social media, please use #sabookfest. that way everyone will know what's going on. i also want to inform you that both of our authors said make sure it's not just a conversation among the three of us let's open it up for questions. let's and allow 10-15 minutes at the end so we can interact hawith you. while we will have that, we have also the great benefits of having c-span in the house. they record special conversations which are then recorded and as such, we vote for those questions to be heard. so bear with me. we will be taking questions from you, the audience. we will point toward the perso

arts can be transformative. anytime we can keep but kid in school because of the arts, that is a good thing. i am in arts fan not just because of its economic productivity and the jobs it creates but what it does in people's lives in general. let me turn to the topic which is how we see arts is our economic growth program as governors and help big it is. it is such a large part of our economic veltman, it is so understatement them a if you think of our economies you have to say that arts is the most underestimated part of our economies. we think we will build a stadium we will inc. about sports and companytry to create a we think about the jobs it will create. there are 5 million jobs associated with the arts and that does not pop into our heads in the first instance but it should. a.is $35 billion of economic and growing rapidly. it is growing at 8% a year. i would suggest that first thing to note about arts is it is a big deal when it comes to economic growth. the second thing i would like to discussion, it is increasingly important in the transformative heart of our economies. i have a hi

with me now head of the division of medical ethics at nyu school of medicine, art kaplan. it sounds like there are several versions of the explanation as to why this cancer study has been withheld thus far. how do you see this? >> they need to know and they need to know now both what the dangers are and, you know, you can control for some of it with more ventilation and wearing masks and this sort of thing. kwun last thing why it's inexcusable is the american people paid for the study, and you commissioned research, you get to know the results. many. >> if you respect the sngs, if you respect public health, you try to warn people as soon as you can. you might still debate is later, but you don't wait. scientific journaled will move this thing up as quickly as they can because they want to err on the side much safety. the administration in general and the e.p.a. in particular seem to want to err on the side of covering up. >> art kaplan, thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> these situations are getting increasingly dire and urgent as a diver trying to rescue these trapped boys in

arts really can be transform tiv in people's lives. and any time we can keep a kid in school associated because of the art, that's a really good thing. so i'm an art fan. not just because of its economic productivity and the jobs it creates. but what it does in people's lives in general. but let me turn to the immediate topic, which is how we see arts as part of our economic growth programs as governors. and how big it is. and the first thing i want to say is it is such a large part of our economic development and it is so understated. i think if you think of our economies, you have to say that arts is the most underestimated part of our economies. we think when we're going to build a stadium, we think about the economic growth of professional sports. when we try to recruit a manufacturing company, we think about the jobs it's going to create. but we're sitting on $760 billion of economic productivity in the united states. 5 million jobs associated with the arts. and that doesn't pop into our heads in the first instance. but it really should. in my state it's $35 billion of economic activity. and growing very rapidly,i it's one of th

arts can. be transformative in people's lives. . aytime we can keep kid in school because of arts, that is a good thing. so i am a big fan of the arts, not only because of the jobs it creates, but what it means to people's lives in general. how we see arts as part of economic growth as governors. first of all, it is such a large part of our economic development, so understated. if you look at our economies, the artist is the most underestimated part of our economies. we think, when we build a stadium, we think about the economic growth, professional sports. when we think about recruiting a company, we think about the jobs it will create, but we are sitting on billions of dollars of economic productivity in the united states, 5 million jobs associated with the arts, and we into our't pop heads, but it really should. in my state, it is $35 billion. of theart fastest-growing sectors of my economy, next to energy, about 8% per year. one of the most fascinating things to know about the arts is that it is a big deal when it comes to economic growth. second thing is that, it is incr

opportunities where, for example, the landscape budget is used toward preparing exhibits of art, local artists, school projects. i would like to see a lot of that. this is a tech city in the tech part of the world. we need to make the best of that in my opinion. i like the simplicity. i think you've done a wonderful job on creating the maintenance and the kit parts or whatever it's called. i have the same concerns about the landscaping. i had not thought about looking at it from above. so i respect that concept. i think the landscaping is the least important part of these. the kiosks and the toilets themselves are the most important. what will matter tremendously here, the materials. and i'm very worried about the scratch-resistance because i think that's the form of graffiti that will be the hardest to maintain. without seeing a materials board, it's hard to comment on that, but it will be critical. one final comment. i'm sure there's an historic district reason for this, but on the kiosks, i prefer the rounded corners. i think they're superior, if you can make that work. >> commissioner wolfram: tha

of which they would know very little? i actually wrote more for other native people. i was in a native writing community, the school that i teach at is the institute of american indian arts, new mexico. and even though some of the information, some of the native audience knows, i wanted to write in a compelling way that would be interesting even to people who already knew the information, so i really tried to hone specifically the prologue and the interlude, so even if that audience already knew the information, i wanted to be compelling and to feel new. well, you mentioned the prologue and i think those who are not familiar with the story of the native americans experience or at least familiar with it only in the broadest terms, outside the united states, for example, will find it very raw and fierce. i mean, it is a terribly sad story. yeah, i mean, it was surprising to me because i did research myself. you don'tjust come into being native with knowledge and the schools definitely don't teach, if anything they teach a candy coated version managed to make it seem more like a hero to adventure across an empty frontier. so, in the research i was doing, i wasn't surprised

broad—based curricula, to offer the arts and drama, but those areas get cut first when schools are in difficulty. especially in a working—class area where there is areas ofthose things from school. we heard the shadow education secretary saying that warm words are all very well, but action is needed. what are the key actions you would like to see from the education secretary that would make the biggest difference both to teachers and pupils? i'd like him to continue to reassure school leaders that some of the bureaucracy around data entry and measuring, you know, measuring the pig regularly, it doesn't fatten the pig, itjust measures it. making sure that we reduce and remove some bureaucracy from teaching staff, that would do an awful lot to improve our detention figures. he needs to do work to improve the status of teachers. we have spent decades having ourjob reduced to entertainers and ab setters, you know, that isn't what we do. we are trained to do this —— baby—sitters. it should be appropriate. he needs to find us some money, also. absolute, i'm sure most teachers would undoubtedly agree with you there. he also said in the interview that education
