it is one of the most underutilized assets out there.enabling people who have cars who are not using them to rent them out. cory: why invest in a steel? -- in this deal? guest: i think it's a good idea. everybody thought ebay was a crazy idea. nobody would fund that in 1996 because people worsening money around in paper envelopes. there was no electronic payments. i have seen crazy that did really well. two reasons i funded it, one was the ceo who is a dear friend of mine and was a rockstar for us in ebay for years. we got him to move from europe over to the bay area to work and driving product. we knew he was a rockstar, but we totally believe in the space. it's amazing to me, people are looking for ways to make money and yet there are all these idle assets that are underutilized that could make you money. cory: something like 90% of all cars that are owned are not being used at any given moment. it makes sense, right? guest: you pay a lot of money for them. i'm going to africa with my wife in august. i'm going to have to park my car fo

people are looking for ways to make money, and yet, there are all of these idle assets that are underutilized. guest:cory: statistically, 90% of all cars that are owned are not being used at any given moment. guest: you pay a lot of money for them -- here is a great example. i am going out of town with my wife in august. i am going to have to park my car for three weeks and pay a lot of money at the airport for that, even if i do long-term parking. it sits there doing nothing. if i did the relay rides route i drop it off, they drive me to the gate, and i make money the whole time i am gone. it's better for everybody. guest:cory: there are a bunch of sharing companies now, and some of them are doing really well like airbnb and it uber, but they probably had some screw ups along the way. what are some things you have learned from the perils of the sharing business? guest: they are all about connecting people in a trustworthy way and protecting people as they use the marketplace. we have, from the very beginning, put in place really important safeguards. we put in place a $1 million insurance po

indicators show an underutilization of resources was little changed, and they also refer to witness a fixed investment softening, as well so they acknowledge the weakness, but they go on to say that employment slowed, and the committee continues to expect that appropriate action will continue to move forward. as is consistent with the dual mandate. inflation is anticipated to remain near the level in the near term, but the committee expects inflation to rise gradually towards 2% as the labor market improves further and the transitory effects decline, and energy and import prices dissipate. they continue to monitor inflation closely. the language in here, again, can distance to what we saw in the march statement. they said the committee anticipates it would be appropriate to raise the target rate for the federal funds rate when they see further improvement in the labor market and they are reasonably confident the rate will move back towards the objective in the median term, so, mark no reference to june. they are taking that off the table, but there is that condition, being data depend

it's lovely, it'vast, but it is somewhat underutilized.ially this is because there's so much infrastructure and location around hongqiao the old airport. it takes a while to shift the center of gravity from one end of a city to another. an analogy might be between ronald reagan airport and dulles international. when dulles was first constructed way in the suburbs of reston, virginia, people thought, "that's crazy, who's going to go there?" i think it's really just a matter of time. narrator: as shanghai expands and attracts international visitors, it retraces its past again becoming the gateway between east and west. it's from here that foreign business will access the great chinese market clustered around their main artery. ( man speaking mandarin ) translator: i believe the chang jiang's waterways can be opened up to even more shipping in the future. shanghai is the "head of the dragon." it will serve to promote reform in the inland parts of china and those areas along the chang jiang river valley opening them up to the outside world. sh

participants also judged the underutilization of labor resources continuing to diminish. part of the mandate was being met but the thing everyone wants to know is what is going to convince them that inflation is going to be rising toward their target? participants expressed a range of views about how they would assess the outlook for inflation and when they might deem it appropriate to begin removing policy accommodation. there were no simple criteria for such a judgment. further improvement to the labor market was one possibility. and a leveling out of the foreign-exchange value of the dollar. you should note that several noted they expected economic developments would call for a gradual pace of normalization or a data dependent approach would not necessarily dictate increases in the target rate at every meeting. that is what bill dudley told us earlier this week. that's kind of the operating assumption of the fed at this moment. one other thing they augmented -- some of the guidance they have given us on how they are going to raise rates, they say they will target a ran

a range of labor market indicators suggest underutilization of labor resources was little changed, growth in household spending declined. household real incomes rose strongly partly deflecting earlier declines in energy prices an consumer sentiment remains high. business fixed investment softened and the recovery in the housing sector remains slow. exports declined. inflation continues to run below the committee's longer run objective with decreasing energy prices and decreasing prices of non-energy imports. survey based measures of longer term inflation expectations have remained stable. skipping ahead. although growth in output employment and slowed during the first quarter the committees continues to expect that with appropriate policy accommodation, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace with labor market indicators continuing to move toward levels the committee judges consistent with its dual mandate. the fed did keep the target federal funds short-term interest rate at zero to 1/4% obviously. the statement goes on to say the committee will assess progress realized and expe

who are we underutilizing based on your experience. who should be part of the integrated system of response and recovery that we have failed to utilize as effectively and frequently as we should. >> i believe since we haven't had a lot of mass casualty event notice united states, and we haven't had a lot of problems we have to look overseas a little more but i do think that we -- domestically we should be using the national guard a bit more i do think the private sector, folks were talking about using the private sector for logistics, i agree -- i do believe that you can have teams of people who have already been used to working together and there's been reference to postal workers and teachers unions or even construction workers who work together who can be trained to do particular things like decontamination or possibly even do things related to burial if need be. the military has a role to play. i was a strong proponent of having the military involved early on in ebola. something else on a previous panel had discussed that. >> dr. a

this is a tool of foreign policy and of european policy that was underutilized until the ukraine crisis. without the eyes and ears of the osce, i would not have been able to give the rundown of where i gave about where things are going well and poorly in ukraine. that said, as you know, they're an unarmed force. they can only operate in a permissive environment. that's been one of the challenges that they've had, whether it was to get in to secure the crash site of malaysian airlines 317 or whether it's been now working in separatist held areas to get the access that they need. that's what we have to continue to work on. we're trying to work now with european partners to make sure that every osc nation carries its weight in terms of paying the budget increases that this requires but also in terms of the specialized skills. we need monitors who know the difference between the military pieces. we're working on all of that. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator isakson. >> thank you, chairman corker. we were in a private meeting this morning, so i can't name the individual, but a well res

to put that on the sidelines is just underutilizing a resource you have.ring bill clinton on the trail in 2014. his home state of arkansas was the center of this. he was very disciplined when it came to discussing his wife. he would talk about arkansas politics. but if he got asked about his wife. he said i will get myself in trouble if i say something and he never did. >> i like the idea you can contain bill clinton. that's a fantasy land. he's not going to be contained. he will be out there all the time. i think it's a question of how disciplined he's able to be. he will need to avoid comments that cause nevadanesis cycles for her. that will be a test. he has been treated very well by the media in recent years. he's bounced back from the point he was at. in the context of the campaign there will be different challenge and questions. >> his comeback from -- we show the poll numbers in 2008. bill clinton had his worst ever numbered since he became a national political figure. there was a poll they polled. barack obama bill clinton, hillary clinton. the mos
