there is a circus company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. i useof dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project. we were charged with beginning work. marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the death penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. pulling our information. beyond that, we did our own research. to create a picture that resonated with humanity. it is the shape of a house. in this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. i thought that was an in

this is something that works for us. what we find is that fix you are changes -- fix you if if if i can you changes. direct install of toilets. our water wise evaluation. our folks will go out and help you in your home to figure out how to useless water and we have devices constantly giving out to people, shower heads, faucets and other things. you will hear about the classroom presentations that we have from the department of environment and we have outdoor stances and we have lots of grants we provide and on how to reduce water use and we have irrigation meters for folks, lots of workshops, landscape program. we'll be looking at rain water barrels and new electric and toilet programs. a lot to get out to the community. in particular, a couple things we are doing new, may 20th we launch the my account web portal. right on the right hand side is a screen shot of the web portal where individual can ustomers can look at their water use on a daily basis. there is a green bar across the middle, that green bar what is relativ

use microsoft xbox kinect. the future is happening right now. these giant leaps of already changed the way that we work communicate. the next step is going to be how we take care of our bodies. we soon may be able to diagnose andelves using tiny sensors the computing power already in our hands. using a handheld sensor you would hold to your four head to get temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and other data points. the sensor would then send all of that via bluetooth to your smart phone which could share the data with you or e-mail it to your doctor. another company has developed a mobile accessory that turns your phone's camera into a sort of ear scope. put it in your kids gear and send the video to your kids doctor and you may be able to get that ear infection diagnosis and that antibiotic prescription without ever leaving home. ae third outfit has developed smart phone based ultrasound machine that costs less than $8,000. a senate -- a standard rig would run you into six figures and is being used in developing nations to provide more accurate diagnosis. there are some skeptics out there. ak

owners of every other type of copyrighted work are able to license all the copyrights necessary for all uses. movie streaming service doesn't have to go to one entity to license the performance and a different enat any point to license the making of a server copy so it should be for musical works. it goes without saying every one deserves fair value market rate for their work. finally, consider a one stop shop for musical work license. we filed with the copyright office one possible way for it network. ate potential path towards simply figure the complicated way music must be licensed. but we understand as we stated repeatedly no vision to the music licensing regime can move forward unless all the relevant stakeholders in the music community come to a solution on which they agree. the goals of any solution should be to align the economic interests and incentives of music creators. ensure songwriters and publishers receive a fair portion of licensing of the sound recording. avoid competition between record labels and music publishers. speed the licensing process making it quicker and easier f

one, that auo is unlawful because it's being used routinely instead of for unpredictable work. two, a lot of whistle-blowers were concerned auo is being used in an office setting or an administrative setting and by managers in those types of settings. and, three, which we have discussed in some detail, that auo is being claimed for hours that aren't worked at all or while people are doing various things. so the legislation would clearly address the first issue on whether or not the hours that are being worked that can be scheduled in advance, it would provide a legal framework for compensating the individuals who are working those hours. >> all right. mr. hamrick, same question, please. >> i would echo mr. miles. the legislation will allow cbp to properly compensate employees for their overtime work which they are entitled to while alleviating the issues that we are currently experiencing with the limitations on auo and what type of overtime hours can be worked under auo and how those can be paid. >> okay. mr. judd? >> simply, this would make what we do legal. i don't know how b

the folks standing besides me here have worked really hard to ensure we are doing things in a way that protects our environment and protects the people that use our parks and our roadways or golf courses. we have been working hard in the last three or four 4 years since i have been here to make an even bigger difference. i see the graph that chris shows and the opportunities to further improve it to have the use of a golf course. you have someone like matt pruitt whose an educated expert on pesticide use and pest control as it applies to golf courses. he'll be able to make that difference for us. we work in all sorts of environments, golf course, aquatic environments and we control basically all sorts of pests in every binding -- biological kingdom whether it's fungus or birds. it required knowledge and the ecology and how these organism interact and how we can use wasp and control and the limited use of pesticides. we've done that very well. since i have been there, i have seen constant improvement in that regard both in technology and application of it. i have personally endeavored to improve on our use of these methods and the conscious --
