additionally, we are responsible for treatment and management of our treatment plants on washington island. in total, our system can treat 575 million gallons when we have a wet weather event. transport boxes provide additional storage for 200 million gallons worth of combined sewer and storm water so we can hold flows and convey them so they can be treated then at our waste water treatment plants. when we do treat waste water, it is treated at our treatment plants and discharged from no. 1 plant and southeast, it goes 800 feet out to the bay. on the west side, we discharge four miles offshore to the pacific ocean. the transport box is designed so that it also provides a basic level of treatment, so if the system is overwhelmed, we have permitted discharge. top of a lot about our struggles and challenges, and we wanted to make sure that we stay on course today to really express the priority issues for the sewer system improvement program, and they are numerous. seismic reliability, eating infrastructure, maintaining permit compliance is a big one -- eating infrastructure. we have to make s

they are working with us on our washington project within treasure island. there's probably no area in the city they have not touched. one of the leading environmental truants in the city. i promise i will not go through them all because i am going to keep five minutes at the end to talk about ideas, but i apologize to them for not being able to introduce them. 10 minutes is really tough. our smallest and most recent project in terms of relevant experience is pier 24. this on the left was a before shot, something they put out, and nobody did, and for 10 years, nobody knew what to do with it. the foundation is the largest photo exhibition gallery in north america. 27,000 feet. fabulous space, fabulous asset for the port, and we got it done in two years. just to the north of us here, i'm sure you are all sick of hearing about this. the significance of this was the complexity of 15 different agencies. we got their banks to -- we got their backs to -- we got there thanks to gibson. will develop a great relationship with all the development authorities and won a

and hi doesn't pursue washington across new jersey into pennsylvania after the debacle in long island. part of it is it's the custom in the armies of that day to retire for the winter. but if he had pursued washington, whose army was down to 3,000 or less, the war would have been over. one of the reasons he doesn't do it is because he has this woman in new york. [laughter] who is a married woman and there's a question as to whether she's a loyalist or patriot spy. i'm not sure what the right answer is. but somewhere in new york, we need to build a monument to this woman. [laughter] who gave her body to the cause in a way that is -- should live in history. yes, sir? >> i was much instructed by the diplomacy and the military history and the politics of your book. but given where you teach, i'm very interested in martha. and i would like to know if their relationship was as chaste as your account of it? >> chaste? the problem with martha is that unlike abigail adams, we don't know much about her, because she's destroyed those letters. my interpretation, as you know, is that washington wa

island. this is time for washington to make reappraisal of their relationship to the muslim and arab world not just with respect to your branch that are happening in egypt but to look across the board and to see that we're at a transformational moment in history it's not up to the united states to pick the leaders of any country and while i believe that in many respects we're still an indispensable nation for the purposes of helping people we have to be very careful of when i reach would try to tilt the balance in favor of one candidate or one group as opposed to another we really cannot control the events in egypt even though every year the united states gives the country of egypt about two. billion dollars and about one point three billion. goes to the military but you know that doesn't necessarily buy a city ability to influence the outcome of this event. now what's behind this uprising and why the law is a have or egypt is the topic in the latest edition of crossfire coming up later today on r.t. . the muslim brotherhood yes it's the best organized opposition but it's not the majority no m

way, in case i didn't mention it, is the man who then took over after clay left washington to go bathing up in rhode island. that relationship was perfectly -- it wasn't close. douglas disagreed with the omnibus solution, and said so, and walked away from it. but as soon as the omnibus went down to defeat, he jumps up and takes control and gets all of those bills passed. so he deserves a great deal of credit for the compromise of 1850. and as such, he became a leading presidential candidate. and in 1860, he ran against abraham lincoln and lost. thank god. sir. >> a couple of quick questions. given the clays -- given the clays perspective on slavery, what was his relationship of the abolitionists in congress? and the second question i just quickly, i didn't quite understand how slavery in the district of columbia became part of one of those resolutions. i was under the impression that issue is not settled until just prior to the emancipation proclamation. the issue came up again. i was surprised to hear that issues included slavery and the district of coney was part of the compromise of the legislation. so
