all of the agencies of government at the federal level, the state level, the local level - how does it affect my programme? how does it affect my agency, my responsibility, and so it's not something that you can compartmentalize. it's something that needs to pervade people's thinking. i think they are starting to move in the right direction on that by tying federal, state and local, looking across the agencies, getting them to work together. what can the agencies do. this is the way to go, i think. >> mayor parker, the white house is talking about a billion dollars in resource allocations. put a billion in pertective. how far would that go? >> i have more than a billion in infrastructure. it's a drop in the bucket spread across the united states. it's a point of focus to allow communities to come forward with projects and potentially receive grant money to put them into action. i'm proud that the city of houston is a pilot area, along with state of colorado, in terms of preparedness. coming together with our local and state and federal partners to see what we can do by better coordinat

your letters and phonecalls will be dismissed and pushed to the side but at the local level your local county governments and city councils control the pursestrings on your police departments. if you don't want your police department to have drones then you should go to your local board meetings and petition your local politicians to not pay for this type of technology. you can use that and very simply go to the board meetings that are held every couple of weeks. at the local level your voice will be heard. i have seen stories where that was done and police gave up the notions of buying drones and some of us more militarized equipment. >> host: what advice would you have for corporations? we talked early on in your book that opens up around sort of the revelations of nsa but the poll data source is the nsa didn't put the mannequins in the stores and they didn't create microsoft. so they were basically partnering with the private sector. we know that the private sector, they need to make money. that's why they produce products and at the same time we want them to know is so they can ser

the increased in hours. we focus on local sales. if you thing about am/fm radio the vast majority is at the local level. >> car dealerships. >> host: yes, we are on the station with many of them. that is really where we see the biggest opportunity for us to increase that monetization. >> host: could congress destroy your business if it changes the laws in a certain way? >> guest: i don't know about that. i think the music licensing is a complicated set of rules and we are excited to participate in chairman goodlatte's review. and we are confidant whatever comes out of congress and our voice is heard. >> do you foresee copyright reform in this congress? or will it bring it ever? >> guest: it is hard for me giving the hearing themselves, i don't believe they have finished are of the hearing they want, so i find it hard to believe it would get finished this year. >> host: how much time influence does the fcc have on pandora? >> guest: other than our acquisition of kx, or fm station in south dakota, we are not fcc regulated. >> host: why did you buy that radio station? >> guest: as i said before, we view ourselves as radio. we conscious

your letters and phone calls are getting dismissed and pushed to the side at the local level, your local county governments and local city councils controlled the purse strings on your police department. if you don't want the police department could have drones can't then you should go to the local board meetings and petition your local politicians to not pay for this type of technology. you can use that very simply just go to the board meetings. they are held every couple of weeks and at the local level your voice will be heard and i have seen stories where if that was done and the police gave up the notions of buying drones or some of his more militarized equipment. >> host: what advice would you have for the corporation's? we talked in the book that opens up early on with this sort of revelation of the nsa addenda hold data source didn't put the mannequins in the stores and they didn't create microsoft. so they were basically partnering with the private sector and we know that the private sector they need to make money and pay the produced products. they want them to know us so that t

local ad sales. if you think about am/fm broadcast radio, the vast majority of revenue get generated at the local level. >> car dealerships. >> guest: exactly. we're in 37, i believe, local markets today with sales reps on the street knocking on dealership doors selling ads in direct competition with their local am/fm broadcasters. so, you know, that's really where we see the biggest opportunity for us to increase that monetization. >> host: mr. harrison, could congress destroy your business if it changes the laws in a surgeon way? >> guest: -- in a certain way? >> guest: well, i don't know about that. i think, again, the music licensing is a very complicated set of rules, and we're excited to participate in chairman goodlatte's review of those. and, you know, we're confident that whatever comes out of this next congress will, our voice will be heard, and congress will do the right thing. >> host: do you foresee copyright reform in this congress? or will it carry over? >> guest: i am not a congressional expert. i know they've got recess coming up and then the fall elections, so it's hard for me given t

the reporting period was 83 percent complete over all that is 81 percent at the regional level and 96.5 percent at the local level. and this pie chart shows that the main activities in the program continue to be in the construction phase with over 2.8 billion dollars in construction, representing 17 projects and we have completed 63 of 83 projects, in the program. and there is only two projects remaining in the preconstruction. and we do have a number of accomplishments to report, and that can show, and that show the continued outstanding progress in the program. and in particular, we have completed the permitting on one of the last projects for the pipeline upgrade and we should proceed on two projects including that project as well as one of the security integration project and we completed and this is a major milestone, and we completed the project and we expect to have final completing of that project this fall and we also completed the division, pipeline, 3 and 4 cross overs and our safety record does continue to be outstanding, and we are not going to relax for a moment to make sure that that trend co

the local court as was the challenging of removal. so both of these charges were initially filed at the local level and he spent about five months in jail by the way at one of the things i think is kind of interesting when he landed in king county jail, apparently he looked around and he was thinking where is everyone else? i guess we actually expect that somehow there would be a broader outcry amongst the generations because after all they had been brought up at inculcated in american schools at abraham lincoln george washington, principles of democracy and so he very much expected there'd be a crowd of other people who felt the same way that he did. that wasn't the case. he was pretty much by himself. i think he spent about five months in the kenya county jail. by the way, this is really what we are trying to do with the book, "a principled stand." there had been any number of law review articles about jordan's case. but chapters and so forth. around 2005 my father was cleaning out according study along with my antique and came across spiral notebooks that renascence diaries from the jail. also fairly massive collections of gordon's c

know about it and i think you made a lot of great points with technology and how -- because the state and local level, all the definitions used by both, the state law and the local law, they're very similar. i think it's just a question of kind of the biggest issue i see is the smaller, the really small stores that list priceses on all of their items ~ and they just don't see why they should be paying the $75 fee for something that they're not really going to swindle a customer out of, out of an accurate price. >> just for an example, we were contacted by a hair salon who had 10 products and they were required to pay the pos registration fee. so, i think, again, you know, the objective of this is to sort of take a look -- the definition has a pretty broad definition. what was an electronic transaction today versus three years ago versus, you know, 10 years ago when this law was initially enacted is very different. and, so, you know, what does that mean now? commissioner dwight, as you're saying, in terms of amazon and those folks online, if we think of the accurate pricing can happen there and there

was in a political system that was still dominated by whites at least on the national level and on the state level. on the local level, little different. there are many localities which were dominated by blacks in the first radical reconstruction and there are many localities in the united states now especially in the deep south where you have black majority, black office holding and so forth. the bad news is these places tend to be impoverished places, place where's you may have the political power but the monetary resources to make a difference are not abundant. in both instances, the first and second reconstruction, blacks ended up tied almost exclusively to a single political party. first time around it was the republican party, the second time around it was the democratic party. and there are those who argue that this is disadvantageous. i had a colleague, a black colleague at yale who once said as many have that black america would be better off today if there were more black republicans because then the two parties would compete for the black vote by speaking to black interests. he said we would be bette

at the state level, the conversation is starting to happen. but what we're doing at the local level and school superintendents know where the teachers are coming from. we had conversations with towson university. let's have a conversation about what you are not getting from your graduates. so we can have a true partnership in terms of how we redesigned both systems to make sure we are beneficial of others. what we're doing with towson university, starting next school year, we are totally designing our school of ed. their practitioners will be retrained on what common core is and what it is not. so, we know we have a responsibility to train the 9000 teachers we have currently. what we cannot do is that two or three years down the road we have to retrain people because we are not getting what we need for institutions. so i get really excited about that. what concerns me is that is happening in the silo. that conversation is not happening statewide or on the national scale to make sure that folks are truly trained. because if you look at the practitioners at the university -- i s

at another place stewart likes to compete, at the local level at one of the small oval tracks that dot the american landscape. the places with devoted local fans who this weekend in upstate new york saw something terrible unfold in the heat of battle during a race. as a result a young driver is dead, and tony stewart could be in a lot of trouble. our report tonight from nbc's kristen dahlgren. >> reporter: he was a big name on a small dirt track. three-time nascar champ tony stewart racing in a sprint car, far from the spotlight until tragedy saturday night. >> tony stewart just hit that guy! >> reporter: video shows the fatal crash and what happens moments before. stewart's car, 14, and another car seem to tangle. number 13 spins out and kevin ward jr., the 20-year-old driver dressed in black, gets out, points at stewart and walks toward the speeding cars. at least five cars drive by before stewart hits ward. racer paul kinney drove right past ward standing on the track. >> i personally saw him, and, you know, i kind of had an idea what he was going to do. and, you know, confront some

business you're about to restep in to help me restore and make sure that the trusting government at the local level is there for everyone in the city no matter what their backgrounds or ethnic heritage or orientation what their status or where they've been they trust the government it's hard work. it couldn't surprise you when i get a moment i'll sponsor the government channel and since the tone in the commission i may fall asleep halfway through the planning commission but give it a try (laughter) i want you to appreciate the roll that you have because you're helping me to make sure there is trust in government. that's so for those days and it's important to all of us. those are times when people want to be included from the southeast to the northeast to the west side to the central side in the tenderloin bay area and mission. they all have very important issues to present to all of us. so with that, in mind today, i will get ready to swear you in so if i may ask all of the postponement tests to stand and repeat after me when i say ii want you to each go down through the right now and state our na

so i want to train the spotlight on something else, which is state and local level politics with regards to immigration. because we are stuck in d.c. nothing is happening in d.c. but at the end of the day, people carry out their lives on a day-to-day basis in their neighborhoods, in their cities, in their counties and we see a lot of the most effect happening to folks who are getting picked up and deported. noncriminals. ok. the criminals we understand. you know, they're breaking the law and they need to leave because they have a criminal record or what not. but for other folks on a day-to-day basis, we need to figure out how our state legislatures and how our county boards, how our school boards can affect the lives of immigrants and also latinos more generally. so we can go back and forth and point fingers. president obama, boehner, mitch mcconnell, harry reid, democrats, republicans, that's not going to get us anywhere. what can you do? because you here today are the ones that are going to go back to your communities and get stuff done. i believe our politics are local. that's the vie

at the local level, your local county government and city council control the purse strings on your police department. if you don't want your police department to have drones on and you should go to your local board meetings and petition your local politicians to not pay for this type of technology. you can use that. they simply go to the board meetings every couple weeks am not the local level your voice will be heard. i had a few stories for that was done in police gave up the notions of buying drones or more militarist equipment. >> host: what advice would you have for corporations? we talked early on with this around sort of the revelation of nsa. but the whole data source -- the nsa didn't put manikins in stores they didn't create microsoft. so they are basically partnering with the private sector and we know the private sector, they need to make money. that is why they produced product and at the same time we want them to know us so they can serve us better. we want her privacy protect it. you talk about in your book your privacy is important to us. you protect your privacy is of a b

the volatility, even at the national level, the numbers bounce around even more. we look at the permits data at the local level. that is a much larger sample and you can really see what is going on down to the local level. this includes places that were very hit hard in the housing bust. there is a building boom in texas. when you look at the regional level, it does not give you the whole story of what is going on locally in construction. >> it is really a renters market. that is what we are seeing being built area when does that supplies start to weigh on the home price appreciation or are people not making enough money as we thought they were? that has slowed down demand. >> there is huge demand for rental because people are starting to move out of their parents homes. they are renting. >> it is expensive. more are also seeing rental supply come into the market. rental construction takes about a year or a little more than a year. he saw a big boom in apartment construction last year. it is at a 15 euro -- year high. that is a big increase in the conceded building. double-click some edge off. -- that wi

but that's the definition it gives at the state level and the local level. so, that's what we have to work with. >> it doesn't include restaurants, too, right? >> yeah. >> because now when you go to restaurant, they key in whatever you order and [speaker not understood], and at the end when you check out and they punch the total, so, that would include all the small restaurants as well. >> even square, i guess the square technology of -- you have to have look-up the price on your ipad and they have a connector and they swipe your credit card. so, i don't know if they can go around -- i'm sure they wouldn't want to go around inspecting each individual person that has an ipad using square technology. so, it makes it a little bit broad, a little bit tough to figure out everything that they are trying to include in the definition. >> and maybe that's one thing we should look at for the future. >> commissioner dwight? >> well, i mean, i suppose you could just say, well, i'm not using it as a point of sale device. i'm using it it as an inventory control device bec

these may have been govern party at the local level that tried to take it in their own hands. police were there but did nothing to prevent the clash. >> he's going to continue to the capital. what's the security arrangement when he and the opposition party arrive? >> security in islamabad last few days. they've put huge shipping containers to block roads. thousands of police and troops have been deployed. people have been arriving from all over pakistan in the capital. he is determined to get here later today. >> thanks very much. >>> now the white house has praised maliki's decision to stand down. now his successor can begin to form the unity government. many have fled to iraqi kurdistan having made the long journey from mount sinjar. many others are trying to reach safety. we have the challenge facing iraq's new prime minister. >> there's a political set piece from iraq's politicians which was a hugely political development. as iraqi prime minister maliki was blamed for alienating sunnis and create deep divisions in iraq. he's stand ago side for the new one to enable iraq to

so we're very much in favor of, you know, ground water man -- it is best managed at the local level. have to provide the local authorities to do it, and the state has to provide the right incentives for the local agencies to take that responsibility. >> somewhat kind of measures have you been holding back on? things that you might need to use if things get worse? are there things that you might have to put in place next year that you have been reluctant to do so far? >> you know, one measure that we are looking at more seriously if the drought continues in 2015 is implementing more tiered rate drought pricing mechanisms for ground water users, and one of the things that we're somewhat hampered by is state legislation. it's the cost of service models that we're not allowed to collect or charge more than what it costs us, of course, to manage the ground water basin. in years like this, where you need a response there the community, you need a response from water users, you know, it -- there's -- it becomes more complicated to implement the -- those cost of service provisions, and at th

if anything, the role of social media is more powerful at the local level. budget, staffing, how you leverage technology, and the belief that democrats or republicans are ahead and it flips every seven or eight years, i don't think it's like that anymore. is the ability to leverage technology. that will always be the challenge for campaigners as they look forward. >> who is empowered by these changes? is it the candidate, the campaign, the consultant, or is it, god forbid, the public? >> hopefully in some ways it's all of the above. smaller campaigns to reach audiences they may never have been unable to reach without tools like this. some the things we're able to do with a community organizing oriented model, it is too personal, too much about one to one communication. it should not be able to work at the scale we're able to do, except for the capacity to engage in drive a lot of engagement via the internet. the only way you end up with 2.2 million volunteers doing the same thing volunteer has always been doing, i think more opportunities to engage and get mo

>> you always want to make sure that these problems have to be solved at the local level. ng after our highway patrolmen are back doing their jobs you're going to have other police in those areas. we wanted to -- when i saw the military vehicles rolling up, i saw guns pointed at kids, when i saw the reaction that was getting, i knew there needed to be a change. that's why i took the unprecedented action at that time to call ip our highway patrol. especially captain johnson from that neighborhood to lead that. i thought that first night as he joined in, even last night he and colonel of the highway patrol marched with folks and talked, we're making progress, but people have right to grieve and speak but we need to get justice here. i i did take unprecedented action here, i think it will pay off here and we're focused on we can to keep the peace while these dual investigations get to justice. >> back to work. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you bob. >> schieffer: joi is cornell william brooks the new president of tational association for the advancement of colored

charitable foundation is putting $45 million into innovation grants, helping cities solve problems on the local level. >>> for about 2 bucks, yeah, $2, you can buy a fixer upper on the italian island of sicily. the reason? so many people moved away that the place needs a major renovation. and buyers now, if you get one of those, you have to guarantee a major renovation within five years. but historic stuff. >>> the nfl is asking potential halftime acts to pay for the privilege of performing at the world's most-watched television event. among the acts being considered, cold play, rihanna and katy perry. >>> and the middle east, matching missile for missile. israel launching fresh air strikes into gaza this morning. three dead, including the wife and child of the hamas military chief. tuesday, 29 rockets in 20 minutes fired into israel. resumption of a ten day truce looks difficult at the moment. >>> ten people dead and 22 missing after heavy rain led to several landslides in here row she ma, japan. and more landslides could happen today. >>> behave, the fbi is keeping tabs on 77 million people. that i

when he got combat dead, you know, the local court level in seattle, he kind of expected the court case then went also 42 to the ninth circuit court in san francisco for a po. they essentially refuse to consider the case and passed to the supreme court. i think it was gordon's hope that the supreme court justices of the united states would understand the constitutional issues he was concerned about. he and barnett developed a fifth amendment argument that the possession of which was the application of curfew, mass. for mobile and subsequently incarceration directed only as people of japanese ancestry and beaten by racial myself, i might add applied to people that were half of japanese ancestry from a quarter down to an eight i believe ancestor was enough to get you into one of these camps. they felt that was profoundly unconstitutional and gordon sincerely believed the supreme court justices are going to agree with him about that. they absolutely did not, but because of the relationship between the conviction in the time he was going to have to serve, he asked at one juncture, i think o

so i want to do train the spotlight on something else which is state and local level politics with regard to immigration. because we are stuck. nothing is happening in d.c. that at the d.c. that at the end of the day people are carrying out their lives on a day-to-day basis in their neighborhoods, in their cities and in their counties and we see a lot of the effects happening to folks that are getting deported. noncriminals. criminals we understand. they have a criminal record or whatnot but on a day-to-day basis we need to figure out how our state legislators and our county boards and how are school boards can affect the lives of immigrants and latinos more generally. so we can go back and forth to point fingers. president obama, boehner, and mitch mcconnell, harry reid, democrats, republicans. that's not going to get us anywhere. if you hear today are the ones that are going to go back to your communities and get stuff done. i opposed him a big believer that all politics are local so that's a viewpoint i want to leave with you also. >> yes it is and that is what it's all about. these ar

if anything, the role of social media is more powerful at the local level. staffing, how you , and thetechnology belief that democrats or republicans are ahead and it flips every seven or eight years , i don't think it's like that anymore. is the ability to leverage technology. that will always be the challenge for campaigners as they look forward. >> who is empowered by these changes? is it the candidate, the campaign, the consultant, or is it, god forbid, the public? >> hopefully in some ways it's all of the above. smaller campaigns to reach audiences they may never have been unable to reach without tools like this. some the things we're able to do with a community organizing is tood model, it personal, too much about one to one communication. it should not be able to work at the scale we're able to do, except for the capacity to engage in drive a lot of engagement via the internet. the only way you end up with 2.2 million volunteers doing the same thing volunteer has always been doing, i think more opportunities to engage and get more information and more

of trust and whether or not witnesses feel confident in an investigation that springs up from the local level, have you heard this sort of word of intimidation or witnesses feeling uncomfortable with the investigation and with talking to local authorities? >> there have been many claims that many people are fearful of communicating with local authorities, especially under the circumstances. as reverend al sharpton just mentioned when he spoke with one of the witnesses and he begged the question, what happens when you go home, that is really point that we've been trying to drive home with everyone and with the public. what happened when all of this national immediate leaves here? that applies to everything that has happened here over weekend. those witnesses have to live here. those witnesses have to deal with the local authorities and the local municipal police departments that know where they live and know who they are. so i think certainly having national and federal intervention on this matter is what is best. >> and lisa, this is all taking place in the context of a community where africa
