. ~ zachary >> thank you. any other public commentses on this matter? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel] >> colleague? supervisor tang? >> sure. i would actually -- i had a chance to meet with mr. henry and was actually really impressed with his background. i think as we talk about pedestrian safety, we also need to keep in mind the engineering aspect of things and infrastructure and how they've got, you know, aside from enforcement and making sure that people are very cautious about what they're doing, whether you're a pedestrian, a cyclist or a driver, that you also have really good infrastructure improvements in place to ensure that everyone is safe no matt what her mode of transportation. and, so, i really liked mr. henry's background and what he brings to the table. so, but i'm open to hearing from colleagues. >> supervisor -- i agree with you, supervisor tang. when i met with mr. henry, i thought that his answers were really thoughtful. he's really sincere. his background [speaker not understood] well in term of the committee, the

george zachary invested in twitter.hem aboutby asking the types of sacrifices that companies like twitter have to make. >> companies tend to keep the based on a smaller demographic. there are a lot more tech workers on the peninsula. you are kind of self-selecting for a certain group of people. that is what i see recurring over and over. i feel like there is this adoption of technology in a much broader way. [indiscernible] it's about consumer facing tech and a broader adoption tech. >> if you look from san jose to san francisco, you will see the stack of what is the internet. systems, enterprise software, consumer applications. ibm is sort of further south and -- >> enterprise software. oracle. haved moving up, we consumer business things like twitter. of theexperience internet now is a consumer phenomenon in addition to an infrastructure phenomenon. it is natural it will take place in cities where there are more consumers and people attuned to daily life. >> you think that companies >> id be doing more gekko don't hav

some think the acquisition was not really worth it third i spoke about the deal with george zachary. what he has to say. rift is the rift between $2 billion and something of value. we coined the term virtual reality in 1989. about this?he said >> his perspective is that it will not really change anything. all of us that worked together at bpl, we knew there were certain problems that were unsolved by commercial companies as well as the military. one of them had to do with the fact that the human brain has evolved for your eyes and ears to be correlated in motion. for example, motion sickness is when your ears are moving but your -- or your ears are picking up motion, but your eyes are not. it is simulator sickness we are issa tech motion but your ears are not. your brain cannot make sense of what is going on. no one can figure out how to fix this. >> you're saying our brain is not ready for virtual reality. >> it is ready for augmented reality. they're not really ready for this form of entertainment. did mark zuckerberg byatt? >> i think he did note is buying, number one. then he cut

. >> zachary and antoine. >> we responded to a fight. when i arrived mr.arvey had blood all over his face. he was punched numerous times with a cut inside his lip. >> they are going to clean him up and evaluate his injuries. if he requires internal stitching, they can't do it here. he will have to be taken to the hospital. the other was taken to the desegregation unit. >> they'll investigate to see if it was a fight or assault. >> the deputy up there talked to other inmates, reviewed the camera to see what all happened. >> one of the witnesses was a trustee, an inmate maintenance worker. >> the dude was grabbing water. he walked up behind him, don't touch my food. don't touch my food. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] dude never hit him back, though. he just stood there. kept turning. blood there. blood there. i have to get bleach and clean this up and scrub. definitely another day of being a trustee. every day you get something like this. it's entertaining. i have to deal with the aftermath. >> after their initial treatment, jail medical staff decide to send harvey to

zachary, what do you think of the market at this point?y is we've had a market that is now up, what, 1.4% on the s&p, down about a necessary on the nasdaq year to date. and if we had had this conversation december 31st, it's not that surprising that you have a market that in spite of short-term gyrations up and down volatility, the fact we need to make stories out of daily movements, we are flat for the year with incredibly low volume, other than some trading activity. and i don't see there should be any disturbance in that or any strong reason why we should have any different market given the economic realities and given the performance of the markets last year. >> anthony, the mood over the last few days? >> it's a fed-induced market. what's happening is people think the fed will relax or go more slowly on the tapering as a result of the economic data. and so, when you're looking at this stuff, i do think the fed is more tied into this thing now than we would have thought two months ago. >> you think the climb over the last five days is

i want to bring in msnbc reporter zachary roth.eporting on this, something like 200 articles over the last several years. let's start with the negotiations on this voting rights bill. democrats have been talking with eric cantor, but is it going to go anywhere? >> it remains to be seen. two points to make on this, i think, are important. one, just the distance the republican party has traveled towards the extreme, just in the last eight years. in 2006 you had a republican house, a republican senate, both overwhelmingly approve the reauthorization of the voting rights act. president bush signed it, then eight years later, jim sensenbrenner, the republican leader on this, even though he said he doesn't support voter i.d., so him and a handful of republican cosponsors. cantor is still being kind of cagey, so it really sort of shows how republicans have given up even pretending to appeal to african-american voters. >> and we mention those nine states that have new voter laws, and i know you were on the conference call with the dnc yest

i want to start with this milestone here, zachary, all of the jobs lost during the great recession have now been recovered. what does that mean for our economy, as well as those who are still seeking who are underemployed and may be making minimum wage? >> look, the reality is, this is a good talking point, it's probably a good thing for those who want to say, look, things are not as terrible as many will claim going into the midterm elections. we're going to hear a lot of noise about the republicans saying how bad things are and the democrats saying, wait a minute, not so bad. throughout this time, there are millions and millions of people, either underemployed as you mentioned, 1.2 million people who lost their jobless benefits because congress didn't renew the unemployment benefits, so their response to that statement, all the jobs have been recovered, a lot of people are feeling like, wait a minute, my job didn't get recovered, i'm still unemployed, and there are a the lot of people not touched by the trends, men a lot harder than women, manufacturing employees, construction employe

this week zachary karabell in his book, 73 -- 73 b. economic impact varies. he argues are not so in today's and they were created. the program is about an hour. >> zachary karabell, you have written a fascinating book all about how we live in a world defined by economic indicators and how just a handful of them coming gdp, inflation have come to define us as the nation, even make a very good case they are very flawed and have been to a certain degree. how do we get to this point. 1066 and there's a fascination with trying to measure where we stand in the road. >> guest: at least a reply wrote a book about numbers. i'm not even a trained academic economist. so i was interested in this question how to live in a world with his numbers are so woven into a conversation about howard doing as a nation. any nation. not just we as americans. so the question of what is this always the case? now, wasn't always the case. only recently given how central they were. the question was when these countries -- many people want to figure out what was going on economic really wit

with me is zachary, the architect we've hired to oversee our project. we appeal the decision to suspend its bitting permit after it was approved by the building department. it is a organization that specializes in provoiding cutting edge medicine and advocacy for people living with hiv. we have provided care for over 25 years throughout the country and recently we sought a permit to relocate one of our healthcare centers and two of our pharmacies into a new space. we were issued a building permit on 01-13 of this year for the rela relocation of our space after we were notified by the planning department that they had issued the department in error and were requiring us to go through the conditional use permit. we're objecting on both ground for the following reasons. first hf made all dis/kwhroerb disclosures engaged contractors and began construction. the department is stopped from halting construction and required a cua when a previously authorized permit and halting construction would damage hf financially.

then, in 1976, carter became the first president since zachary taylor elected from the deep south. naturally, he was sworn in on a chicken-fried bible. in 1977, carter gave away "our" canal to some place called panama, enraging a man i like to call ronald reagan. ronald wilson reagan was born in 19 -- what's that? wrong library? okay. i'm sorry. let's get him on. okay. in 1979, president carter negotiated the camp david accords, which brought peace between egypt and israel, marking a period of tranquility in the middle east that lasted almost 20 minutes. during the oil crisis, carter set an energy conservation example at the white house, where he turned down the thermostats wore sweaters to keep warm, installed solar panels on the roof and attached a windmill to walter mondale. 1979 also marked the beginning of the iran hostage crisis, when our tehran embassy was stormed, and 52 americans were held hostage, resulting in a low approval rating for carter, and an even lower trip advisor rating for the iranian embassy. rescue attempts failed, because, sadly, add the time, ben affleck w

host: hi, zachary. caller: hi. so the question -- how far have we we come in terms of racism, right? host: yep. caller: well, i would think that it's a bigger issue than people are thinking about. people generally talk about matters of the behavior that people who are raceist exhibit, scrim nation but they don't often think about what causes this. it's the mental processes behind these. we need to deal with that. host: zachary saying it's a mental health issue as much as a societal issue? caller: well, i wouldn't say mental health issue in terms of -- but more like it's a matter f thought process. like how we think based on how and we get earned these prejudices, that affects how we act around other people. and the only way to deal with these things is by -- and that will take generations of work. host: all right. that's zachary calling in from alifornia. senator bob casies says the nba made the right decision in banning donald sterling for life. racism has no place in our society. several other members writing in

in addition the nfl used as, used as inspiration, a young child name zachary who was a 30-year-old youth football player in washington state several years ago who suffered catastrophic injuries from his sport. he was returned to play too soon after suffering a concussion and zachary struggles still with the challenges that come after that. his advocates were able to pass a youth concussion law in washington state which our commissioner said we will replicate in all 50 states around this country to make sure all youth sports, not just football are played for safely. that kid and their coaches are aware of risks of concussion. that they're removed from play, should appear they suffer concussion and not return until a medical professional cleared them. just this past month, we're proud to say that the 50th state passed that law. now the nfl is not solely responsible for that work but we're happy to lead and be in many states to get this done. as my time expires little me mention two other quick components. we are proud to work with the cdc promoting concussion materials gone out to millions

she was reportedly a long time friend of zachary adams arrested last month on the same kidnapping charges. her body has never been found. the appeals court says they convicted and former boyfriend of murdering partly because there was evidence showing more than one person killed the student. she was convicted 5 years ago but it was turned over on appeal before the appeals court reaffirmed the conviction in january. >> an al qaeda terrorist says he went out of an attack because he was scared. he says the reason didn't go through with the shoe bombing plot on board the flight since 2001 is since he was afraid. he previously testified his parents persuaded him to quit. >> this assault rifle may be on the top of redskins fans wish list but the nfl says no way. the national football league is investigating this thophoto tak with an assault rifle at the capital gun show. it does not have a stance it does take issue with team logos on firearms. >> charlie wrangle in hot water over reelection campaign issues. they accepted $6,700 over legal limits. it will ship to other funds to comply with the l

that was george zachary. do you think we are in a tech bubble? >> there are some valuations that are impossible to defend and there are some great deals out there. leslie makes a great point. there have been some enormous valuations applied when large public tech companies use their expensive stocks to make acquisitions. what we see happening is when the expensive bid up stocks like facebook are used to make somewhat outlandishly valued acquisitions, it has a ripple effect that pushes up the ua shins. -- pushes up valuations. valuations are consistent with strong growth stories that are attached to better names but maybe not stratospheric on all the names and not quite as stretched in the first few months of 2014. big companies using their stock to make ridiculous acquisitions -- facebook does not come to mind at all. >> certainly not. >> if you are a private company with a startup ceo and you see the public markets reacting like this, should you ignore it? what lessons might we have from the past? should you change your capital allocation plan?

police say they still have unanswered questions, including where her body is. 29-year-old zachary adamshe case. he is friends -- longtime friends with jason wayne autrey who's recently been arrested. weighing in now, dan shore and heather hansen and dr. michael. dan, to you first. they have filed murder charges. they don't have a body. how do you make that work? >> you see that in some cases. it's rare. but if you can prove ultimately a trial beyond a reasonable doubt that there was a murder either through evidence at the scene or witnesses who see a killing you can prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt even though we don't have a body. it's not an unsurmountable burden. >> reportedly one of the brothers of one of these suspects is ready to testify that he saw holly bobo in the custody of jason wayne autrey, the guy who was most recently arrested. >> i think that kind of goes to the answer to the question, i think there's a lot of people who will testify about what happened here and perhaps that she was murdered in order to get some immunity from prosecution. >> yeah. you have two -- i

it hit home for zachary hammer, whose grandmother was diagnosed with alzheimer's several years ago. >> this program sounded like a perfect opportunity to get to know what alzheimer's is from a medical constant point, but develop a relationship with someone who is going through the same thing that my grandmother is going through. >> reporter: both ben and zach say it's connecting through friendship. a symbiotic relationship that goes beyond the clinical. >> him talking to me about what is going on with him forces me to pay attention and keep my brain going so that i can come up with reasonable kinds of response to what he's talking about. >> so, what's been going on with you? >> not much, i have another examine coming up. >> reporter: zach said it's a chance to slow down and empathize with the person on the other side of the chart. >> medicine is not just science. you need to understand the patient's perspective, where they're coming from, who they are as a person in how to best treat them. >> reporter: it takes real world experience that can't be taught in the classroom and puts it in

from plainfield, indiana died over the weekend in florida, after a fall from a balcony. 13-year old zachary dickman fell to his death from the 15th floor of a condominium in panama city. dickman and his grandmother were checking out of the condo. there's no explanation of how he fell... but police are treating it an accident. an autopsy has been scheduled. fights at hockey games are nothing new. but a big brawl broke out at a *charity game in new york. the police and fire departments faced off in a fundraiser. but in the middle of the game, with the score tied at 3, something started a fight... and in no time, both benches emptied. fans cheered as the players swung wildly at one another. once it settled down, the police department team went on to win the game. what happened to serve and protect? at least 100 people were arrested at an unauthorized street party in southern california. about 15 thousand people "deltopia" gathering-- many of them students from the santa barbara. stop signs were torn down, small fires ignited and police cars damaged authorities say at least five being hit by bo

zachary carabell and author of the leading indicator, a short history of numbers that rule the world and had experience managing hedge funds and other financial institutions. i want your insiders take, why is it worth it to companies to pay out this month? i understand attracting the best and brightest but hundreds and millions of dollars. >> this has been going on for decades. there was a period of time in the 1950s where the ratio between what the average worker earned and the ceo was far smaller. ever since then it's been doing this. it's true it's important we're noticing it but not true this is a 2013 phenomenon. a lot of what you pointed to in terms of ceo compensation is stock based. there's a direct relationship between the numbers you flashed and how well equities have been doing, extraordinarily well the past five years, stocks are up 150%. >> sometimes this is a sign of a bull market. >> right, but it's not -- it's not like their wages are going up, the stock grants are going up because stock prices are going up. ceos are increasingly compensated not based on is this a goo

zachary what happened that day i don't know but a woman killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results you get people to consent to the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were they could do what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. no c.n.n. the m s n b c news slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might take. a good. because one whole attention in the mainstream media works side by side. is actually on you. look. at our teen years we have a different group. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm no
