secondly, smalls life is an american story. a story of triumph over adversity success against the odds and what better place to talk about american life in charleston smalls second home and a place unique in contribution and the mid wife to those things that would come. this evening i would like to talk about the background to smalls later life. i would like to talk about his experiences in buford. in buford but mainly in charleston as a way of understanding how these environments prepared him for his later achievements in life. mckey used 60 different people ma mainly in the countryside. they comprise d the labor force at his buford home. domestic service had it's disadvantages for example. domestics were on call around the clock to attend to their owners various needs. that was a downside and a negative. and unlike field hands they had no place to hide. indeed typically they were fed better than the field hands also. domestics were privy to important information that might prove essential and valuable because of their proximi

secondly, her whole connection is with george w.hose foreign policy and war in iraq are considered a disaster. they cost the republican party both houses in 2006, and the presidency in 2008. why would you do it? what exactly does she bring some what state does she bring? >> because of the cabinet post that she held, the fact that she worked for sandy berger, colin powell, bob zoellick. >> she didn't work for sandy berger, did she? >> she was part of sandy berger's generation. >> i don't think she's that old. >> i'm not an authority on herbicide okay grief. she worked at the hoover institution. the woman is a brilliant woman. >> when we were with nixon in '68, there was a point where he was way down. he was tied with humphrey, and you take the safe pick. >> is it safe to say that everybody on this panel is poo- pooing, except me, a possible candidacy? >> yes. >> as a running mate? >> not as a rung mate. she's phot got many great qualifications but not for this ticket. >> not for this particular. >> poo-pooing. >> okay who will be rom

secondly, it is not serious about deficit reduction. but the spending levels we can double everywhere these taxes. so i really think we ought to agree on extending these cuts or at least stopping the tax increases and making a serious commitment, a guaranteed upper down vote on a fundamental task of reform next year so we can discuss not only how we have a or corporate tax code, how do we sustain our entitlements. how do we get health care costs under control? >> how does it reduce uncertainty? >> they will be punished. it is those that are most likely to contribute to growth. we may be able to find one that thinks it is good for the economy. >> how do you go home and talk to people in how does the economy were? -- how does the economy work? they are sitting down and the table. they say we have to give a tax break to those in houston because of potentially they may hire a secretarial assistance. the democrats want to give them pell grants. how do you convince those people there? i'm only talking about the top to%. >> we have a regulator

secondly, i received an e-mail about receiving the brief by e- mail. i reluctantly said yes because i did not realize it was going to be 500 pages, but the day it was due to the court of appeals last thursday, i did get a copy at my home, hand delivered on thursday of about 5:30. this was a brief are received. over the weekend i started preparing my oral arguments, and let me back up a little bit. our reasons for appealing this are in my brees. -- my brief. if upheld your issuance, and thirdly, what supervisor avalos is talking about, the clustering in our neighborhood. going through the documents over the weekend, i felt like i had the documents. it was a well-written brief, but the exhibitors were not stabbed, -- tabbed, and i could not follow, so i said then e- mail monday morning -- i sent an e-mail monday morning stating i wanted to have a clearer and brief. they responded, saying if you need to mirror the brief filed by the court of appeals. monday night the increase was delivered to me. richard -- monday night the brief was delivered to me. it w

secondly, we point out that regarding the hotel tax allocation, the steinhardt aquarium does not get an application, but that is not shown in the administrative code. the recommendation on page 5 of the report, except for the exceptions to the interim budget, which include the hiring of 162 new positions as of july 1, 2012, positions that i stated we will analyze and make recommendations on in the next two weeks, we recommend that you do approve the ordinance, the 12-13-14 annual salary ordinance and 12-13-14 honoraria authority budget, and that you amend the business of the tax regulations code to include the annual tax allocation to the annual aquarium, which would be consistent with previous border supervisors policy. supervisor chu: thank you very much to the budget office. is there any item that you would like to speak to? >> good morning, supervisors. in the mayor's budget director. i will be presenting to you in a few moments and more thorough overview of what is in the mayor's proposed budget and how we appreciate the work of mr. rose's office. his approach at this time is ap

secondly, the russians claim to be concerned about a vacuum. i do the same concern expressed by the obama white house. there is a desire to have a transition that does not knock down the syrian state structure and open the way for chaos. the american argument is, look, the longer assad stays, the more chaotic that transition is. you need to get on board now, but the russians are resisting. >> we have talked about the possibility of chemical weapons. how would that change the conflict? >> the worry is not that he would use chemical weapons externally, but that he would use them in syria. it is hard to use chemical weapons. syrian chemical weapons are bindery. you have to take two things and mix them together -- are binary. you have to take two things and mix them together in the process is complicated. this is not going to be easy for assad to do. it certainly will not be easy to steal these weapons if you are the opposition. a lot of attention in the last three or four days has been focused on the question, how would the u.s. and its allies sec

secondly, of course sutter is going to close st. luke's. if they do it from the plants that have been leaked, they will save about $450 million. smart business. just not good for our city. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is linda harris, a nurse and an adjunct at sf. i urge you. i feel strongly that moving forward with the current plan is a public health disaster which will haunt our city for generations to come. i would be first in line to support this project if it were to be built in the southern half of our city, where we have a population with already underserved health care needs, emergency rooms on diversion and shockingly high number of times, and a reduction of beds. instead, they want to build the hospital with plentiful beds and no real commitment to keeping st. luke's open. to be honest with our city. they want to build in an extremely busy north-south transportation artery and are requesting variances to a very well thought out van ness corridor plan based on a seriously flawed environmental impac

secondly, i would like to introduce several of the entrance. -- of the intern's. we have 16 internes and the department this summer. there are five of them here today. we have had over 450 applicants for this program from all over the world. we're very excited about being here this summer. let me just briefly talk about some of the projects they're working on. there is a project to assist the preservation data collection and identification of the historic districts. and revised the web site content to focus primarily on getting information to the public about existing local landmarks. there is a land use survey going on in various labor commercial districts to help us do some of the work. the invest in neighborhoods program, which has been an issue -- and interest to the department for several years. work going on with ring connections, a program your heard about him the past, which is conducting research and compiling information on best practices. we're going on to enhance the transportation demand management programs. if there is information on urban food syste

secondly it was unclear for voters who was in second place. even those who say that pena was in first place, they were split between lopes salvador or mota in second place. so i think that it is, the impact that it can have on public opinion on voting behavior or the results of voting behavior is rather limited. this being said, obviously the results of the polls affect the strategic behavior of mexican elites, especially from racing. one of the criticisms is that many candidates or josephina vazquez mota or lopes salvador were unable to raise more money because of the results of polls. that might be true, and that's something, although the funny thing is that it is illegal for a party to get more than 10% of its fund-raising outside of public financing, so 10%, if this happens, i mean, in the first place, they were not allowed to do so, but this really, really can be the main impact of the results of polls, especially on the behavior of elites. i don't think that on the way people perceive or decide their vote. going back to the technical rea

secondly, the statements by the member of the board that repeated abuse of eir's approving projects by repetition makes it feasible. i refer to your counsel as to whether this is possible or an abuse of power. secondly, there is a possible gas pipeline which has a urgent exposure and the department of public works and this board has refused to dig the hole to find out whether we are all in danger. third, there are thousands of health workers whose access to the union membership is being violated by a small minority of so-called representatives who have spent union dues to influence your vote. i think that is impossible, exercising culpability and abuse of power. i have more if you would like. i will take questions. president chiu: next speaker. thank you very much. >> my name is mary and i am a 40-year r.n. at saint luke's. if you look at the current plan, st. luke's look like it -- looks like a clinic. it does not look like a hospital. it is designed to be a clinic. we have talked about many things for four years now. unions, jobs, contracts, jobs, jobs. all are important. i want to r

of the people must pay the price for the crimes and the mistakes of the rich and powerful people secondly all of them support britain's role in going around the world invading other people's countries occupying them and big spending billions in some cases hundreds of billions of hard earned money that the people have sweated for. on weapons and war. and so if you can come along and say we don't believe the ordinary people should pay the price for this crisis and we don't believe britain should be occupying other people's countries first in the ranks of those pushing for a new invasion a new occupation as mr hague is doing over syria for example at the moment we just reject that we we are paradigm is completely different and it's like in the wonderful film dead poets society when the teacher invites the children to stand on the desk and see how different everything looks once you get people standing up on those desks they can see that actually the world looks very different from do you think that there's a why did disconnect between politics and the electorate the people the people hold th

and secondly, you mentioned that you'd raised issues about minority areas. specifically, was there any discussions about the uighur and what's happening in xinjiang province? >> yeah. on monday afternoon, we had a quite lengthy discussion, both of the issues relating to the uighurs in xinjiang as well as the tibetan population in the various places where they reside. and we discussed a range of concerns about both the self- immolations, which i mentioned with the tibetans, but broader issues that apply both to the uighur and tibetan community relating to discrimination in terms of language rights, ability to practice their religion freely, discrimination employment a range of issues involving their cultural rights, their religious freedom, et cetera. >> and sorry. just could i what was their response to raising these concerns? >> again, i'm not going to characterize every aspect. we had a quite long discussion. our position is that these are these minority communities and representatives of religious minorities are entitled to live freely, to express their r

people, 40% by new year. >> brenda: tobin, what do you think. >> the easy money is already made and secondlyhink that todd has pawned his brain. >> brenda: oh, my gosh! [laughter] >> you know, you really want the profit. keep watching, cavuto on business, neil in 4, 3, 2... >> on a week when the job market took another hit, hitting back with plan to get jobs back, oh, hi, everyone, welcome, i'm neil cavuto on top, vice-president joe biden with an over the top pick on the economy and jobs and nothing to do with the private sector, which happens to be adding jobs right now. >> that those so-called job creators will make everything okay for the rest of us. we believe that the way to build this country is the way we always have, from the middle out. that's how it's always been done. and the way to do that is invest in the things that have always made our economy grow. innovation, research, development, infrastructure, and education. >> are you looking at the folks behind the vice-president, did it not look like a hostage tape. you've got a government spending more than a trillion bucks on jobs a

attention and the media is the medium through which most people get their political ideas news and secondly because you usually like a critical credibility factor people are doubtful that they would be doing other than throwing their vote away by voting for a candidate who may be closer to their cup of tea but are unlikely to win it and therefore the voters in a way taking a self-denying ordinance and the choosing of the m.p. but if you have this critical mass of. derision i mean i don't think that's too strong a word the derision felt in the country against the three mainstream parties often see if backside could have three cheeks these three parties are those three. the three mainstream parties are such that you couldn't slip a cigarette paper between them they all accept that austerity is the medicine some quibble about the dosage and the the timetable of the taking of the medicine but they all accept that the mass of the people must pay the price for the crimes and the mistakes of rich and powerful people secondly all of them support britain's role in going around the world invading oth

secondly, smalls' life is a consummately american story. a story of triumph over adversity, success against the odds, and of course what better place to talk about such an american life than in charleston, smalls' second home and indeed a city unique in its contributions to americana and those things that would become afro americana. i want to talk about smalls' later life. i want to talk about his experiences in beaufort, but mainly in charleston as a way of understanding how these environments prepared him for his later achievements in life. now robert smalls is born in 1839 in beaufort, he's the son of lydia polite, who was the son of -- mckee was a planter and he owned approximately 60 different people who he used mainly in the country side. but lydia and robert comprised the main part of his domestic labor force at his beaufort home. know domestic service had its positive aspects and it's disadvantages for example. domestics were on call around the clock to attend to their owners' various needs. that obviously was a down side, and a ne

and secondly, alternative models must cut across medicare silos. when physician care achieves overall medicare program savings, physicians and medicare should share those savings. currently additional physician services that prevent costly medical care drives steeper cuts under the sgr. this incentive structure has to change. physicians have begun transition into alternative payment and delivery models. this includes for example, 154 medicare accountable care organizations and the center for medicare and medicaid innovation is testing many new models. many innovations are being conducted in the private sector as the committee heard at its june round table. the am, a strongly supports these initiatives and is helping physicians with the transition. for example, our ama convened physician consortium for physician improvement has related methods for outcomes and overuse of care and is expanding its work in this area. congress can take immediate steps to help many the transition. first, congress should require cms in the innovation center to offer oppo

secondly, on the health care side, when i became governor most new jersey republican employees paid nothingfor health insurance. zero. for full family medical and dental coverage. those programs ran anywhere from $s 15,000 to $19,000 and got them from the day they were hired until the day they died. so we needed to do something there kbhap we put forward was a simple test. said everybody should pay one-third. pay one-third a cost of your premiums. that seems to be fair. government can pick up two-thirds. you pick up one-third and somewhat in line with what's going on in the private sector as well, although many people in the private sector would jump at a program like that at the moment. and where did i announce this plan? i went to the firefighter's convention in wildwood, new jersey, on a friday afternoon. it was quite something. about 2:00 in the afternoon. lunch, i suspect, had been liquid, and those firefighters were ready for their governor, and when i got introduced they were booing like crazy. like, i got up to the stage. a podium like this. come on. you can do better than that. and

secondly it was very liberating. once the ambition to do anything more within the party structure was eliminated it was pretty much free to do whatever i wanted. so ambition can be a highly motivating factor and it can consume one. it doesn't consume me for the reason i knew that there was really no opportunity within the party structure. i was pretty much a free agent the rest of my career. >> you did all right. you did all right. bill weld, would your life have been different without watergate? >> it sure would have. it was the beginning of everything for me. i think of it as one of two events that electrified my generation, the other being the assassination of president kennedy and teddy white's book. but some people in my generation were disillusioned by watergate when gordon strong said -- one of the people who was convicted, what advice would he give to young people regarding public service, he said stay away, stay away. but for every one of those, there were ten who were very highly motivated. i shared an offi

secondly go step by step to replace it with model reform. there will not be a 2700 page republican alternative and take a meat axe. we'll pull out a scalpel and go step by step and make changes that deal with the principle issue costs innerstate sales of health insurance. right now you don't have competition around the country in the selling of health insurance. that is a mistake. things like lawsuit reform. billions of dollars lost by hospitals and doctors. >> chris: respectfully sir, we are going to run out of time. what specifically are you doing to provide universal coverage to the 30 million people who are uninsured? >> that is not the issue. the question is how to go step by step to improve the american health care system. it is the finest >> chris: but you don't think that 30 million. unare is an issue? >> we'll not turn it into a western pene pone system. that's exactly is at the heart of obama care. they want to take and have the federal government take over all of american health care. the federal government can't handle medicare o

secondly, he said let's produce more energy at home. let's approve that keystone pipeline. let's produce more oil and gas, and elsewhere in this country, especially from shale. already created over 6,000 jobs. help secure manufacturing jobs in the steel industry. in the plastics, fertilizers industry. third, he's also said that we can't afford all of this spending. president obama created a new entitlement program. hi can't afford the entitlement programs that we already got. mitt romney said let's repeal and replace obama care, get rid of those over 20 tax increases. $500 billion in medical care cuts. a program that president promised to keep. so, mitt romney has said on the first day, that he would not only cut taxes, but he would also rein in spending and stop all of these regulations that are killing jobs while at the same time, moderating wall street. >> governor o'malley, this is a forward-looking program the romney program. the whole economic recipe? >> the economic recipe, economic recipe for disaster. and it's been proven. you want to talk about insanity doing the

secondly it is not, yes the parents job to help the kids but also as an american it's also the parentsto not do their job. i tried earlier when i didn't buy them food they went the other way. that is there jam. >> you a terrible parent! >> olympics start later this month, a little late to call for a ban on sponsors, right? >> how long does it take? >> this is a bunch of politicians saying we're going to get free publicity and make everyone think we're good human beings. >> they have to campaign for the olympics. it's not like they just hand it over. >> is it going to be a london, or atlanta, there is a huge money campaign to get it. >> the real winners in this story it's the writers who are writing the articles that get to use phrases mcdonald's may be left in the starting block. all of a sudden all the metaphors make you want to vomit. i don't like the olympics. i don't like athletes. [ laughter ] >> you don't like this them as athletes. >> yes, that, too. i don't hire them. >> how about mcdonald's and coke fine, we're not going to sponsor the olympics around this will be the last oly

well the first of all they would claim it is a victory secondly there are clearly. some law office job herb's that are sympathetic to al qaeda. in iraq and claim this as a victory against iran the victory for jihad maybe depending on how the fall happens and what happens afterwards maybe they would have some bases in syria so clearly this is. a bring down something doesn't mean that there are you know it's not a whole lot of people clearly it is a goal but it is a. sunni job just to bring down the saw robert thanks for your thoughts for we got to leave it there for tonight the robert naiman the policy director just foreign policy thanks have so much. next millions of us turn to social networks like facebook and twitter each and every day to share our lives with friends and family but what you may not know is that you could be giving away your personal data to the government's desire to use one important explains no privacy settings can the authorities prying eyes. in the land of social media users tweet tag friends upload and share information at any given moment in

secondly we've had a pretty stable culture, stable political system for a long time. the thirdly we've had resources about fourth we've put the resources into higher education in a big way. that's threatened now, by the way. that's threatened because of the recession. support in public universities that are an endangered spe snee this country. the support per student has come down about 25% in the last decade. so i think if we don't continue the resources and allow that long-term conversation to occur we will slip in the international rankings. but it's not the rankings that are important. i think what's important is we have the long view and take the view that learning how to learn, as you said, is learning how to solve problems that don't have to be solved overnight is how we make progress. >> rose: sebastian thrun was on this program,google x is one of the things he has run. he's talking about online universities and i'm interested in how you see the future of online. here it is. >> i haven't imagined how much hunger there is in the world-- including america-- for

secondly, how realistic is it to take something away that people have already started to benefit from? >> three things. he said repeal and replace. mitt romney says pre-existing conditions absolutely a genuine concern, wants to make sure people continue coverage, don't face discrimination in the marketplace, wants to make sure people going into the market for the first time have r not high risk. it makes no sense when people need help the most it's hardest to buy insurance. you can't just get rid of it and replace it. unfortunately, the president, if he engaged in serious bipartisan dialogue, could have gotten some reforms done. secondly, the democrats used reconciliation to get this done on a strictly pure majority vote in the senate without needing 60 votes. the reality is when smorm elected he'll have a mandate. you'll see not only a republican senate but democratic senators like senator prior and others in swing states all of a sudden i think support mitt romney. >> here's the issue. as a matter of politics, you have to go out and make the case when back in 2006 then governor romn
