and inventions and business and music and you name it. we should have a national memorial building to negro achievement and contributions to america. and so they introduced legislation beginning around 1920 for that purpose. they hired an african-american architect named e.r. williams to design a building and this is his design. he actually built, i think, a four-foot by six-foot scale model of that and took photographs of it and that's what you see there. it took a lot of fighting, but they actually got the bill passed by the u.s. congress in march of 1929. but because of the opposition of the southern democrats, all of the seed funding was stripped from the legislation. now, march of 1929 was not a good time for that to happen, because what happens in october? the stock market crashes, and the country enters the great depression. so, this was approved by congress but given no federal support and no federal funding. the depression hits, and the basically the project is doomed from the beginning. it doesn't get off the ground. so, the peo

congressmen and senators have their opinion about it and the president and the nafta administrator and no, you really cannot do that. this one came up earlier, and what is the perspective on nasa on the paperclip program? >> that is really interesting question. we all know now that one of the keys to the saturn five rocket program, and he was not the only guy who built rockets in the united states. that was actually five u.s. companies building rockets in the 1950s. he was not the only game in town, but they was really good at what they did and he was very driven by space exploration. he came to the united states courtesy of the u.s. government, and his record was wiped, and he was a's synod director, and it came up that he had been a member of the ss and he clearly cannot have failed to notice prisoners and that people was dying by the droves of people with the rocket to latch -- launch and land. should think cannot happen or happen? there is a very good historical research about this character, and what a conflicted character he was. with incident things about him is that he was head

it's complicated and more expensive and the shoring and whatever. and then the last thing is, -- so that might be some legislation that, you know, is after we see whether this is being taken up or not by a project sponsor and it's something that we would consider if they keep saying that it's too costly. and the other one is that we saw miss schoutis group c, and it keeps san francisco, a sense of neighborhood that it has, and because we're a city of neighborhoods i would hope when we do the revised r.d.g.s we can have a residential version too. they seem compatible and the u.d.g. land, but i think that more sensitive residential ones as well would be a good one. >> thank you, commissioner wolfram. >> thank you. i think this is a great document but i do want to sort of second commissioner hillis' concernor question about the potential projects that there was a historic resource and because of overriding consideration that it's being demolished but potentially retained. there seems to be a gap there. for example, the 450 o'farrell project had been ap

that are made to suffer by the shutdown by inflicting stress and hardship and anxiety and anger into their personal lives and the lives of our family. the breaking point may come tomorrow when they miss a paycheck for the second time this year. absentee rates have been as high as 10 percent the starting salary of a tso is in the range of $28000 they like a number of others really do live paycheck to paycheck. our customs personnel who secure our ports and airports from dangerous incoming contraband and drugs that are made to suffer to pass a budget as chairman thompson knows we fought high attrition rates in the united states secret service to turn that around. i fear the shutdown in the missing paychecks are a huge setback. border patrol agents have not been paid for two pay periods. and they also live pay period to pay. my owns sons shipmates are going broke. at basic training, recruits are deciding to go to another military service. in florida regarded as essential personnel was a memo with options for relief that churches. from a security standpoint we are letting our guard down.

talking to ourselves and our head and stand up and it is a different way and this is exactly how you get into the new yorker in 40 days or less. this is my favorite cartoon, best budget cuts ever. >> we have a question here. bring the microphone over. >> sounds like what you have, at one time you did have to meet a quota of a cartoon for five days but is that a contract where you have to output? >> contractors -- how do you get into being a new yorker cartoonist is what you are asking? >> we are independent contractors. when i did daily cartoons i had an independent contractor. there was a day before we were born that you would have an office which was pretty snazzy but you have different levels of contracts but we are all independent contractors. >> there are plenty more books inside. >> we are so honored to have you. one of the iconic cartoonists of the new yorker. let everybody see you. there is not a person in this room that hasn't seen this man's work. how much time do we have? 7 minutes. a couple more questions. somebody -- i saw someone around you. over here? hang on. hold for

her pajamas and a coat and come in and sit and write with us. >> we never sit around here and say, gee, i wonder what the kids are laughing at today. we make each other laugh. we put it on the show. >> i can't. >> one more. one more. >> but it strikes me funny now. >> think of your dog dying. think of your dog dying. >> my dog did die. >> okay. >> think of your dog dying, huh? >> okay. on sunday when you leave him at my house. >> okay. >> oh, god. >> to be a woman on that show was extremely different than it was when i was there. there was so much in the world that had yet to be carved out for women in not just comedy. >> i love being a fireman. >> those years went on and the woman's movement changed so many things. that made me be able to reflect that in my comedy. >> now, here are a few choice facial expressions for when you're not on the construction site. >> when lily was there, ann and i wrote a sketch called the hard hats and belushi didn't want to touch it. and danny didn't want -- it was a switch. >> strut your stuff in front of gilda. >> finally, lorne twisted danny's arm to d

you find your buttocks are itching and so on, and so i wa nted are itching and so on, and so i wanted to know what is the natural history of these insect bites. at the time i had never been to south america. and i therefore got an insect that is quite common in north or south america, some of the southern states of the usa, and i had never met before. i got it from the school of tropical medicine in london. and every monday morning, i kept it in a test tube, i let it have a feed from me, it is a very slow feeder. and so i could follow the whole process of this insect in me, what happens, and the first time it had its mill from me all these insects, just before they take their blood from you, they put in a tiny bit of their own saliva, this is what causes a struggle —— meal. anyway, the first bite that it had from me, no response at all. and thatis from me, no response at all. and that is what one would expect, because i had never met it at all. second bite, yes, a delayed response. and that got more and more, larger and larger every week, until my arm was, on the fifth bite, swoll

and a young virginian, george washington, headed out to the ohio river and confronted the french, and a series of clashes occurred and this brawl in the back woods of north america soon mushroomed into a world war. really what may be the first world war. what was at stake here was the balance of power in europe and a question of who was going to be the dominant global super power. for nine years they fought the seven years war and in february, 1763, that war drew to a close and it was clear that great britain was victorious. they were now the sole global superpower. they extended and strengthened their hold in india, they extended their control over areas of africa, and in north america, the french renounced all the claims east of the mississippi river so there was this incredible amount of euphoria overtaking great britain and the colonies. the famous phrase, the sun never sets on the british empire. it was this time they started talking in those terms so the future seems wide open for many. but soon after the war comes to a close, those trying to manage the empire, those in parliame

doj and fcc and break them up. we seem to have lost the script and don't want to do that anymore. so my answer is simple. break them up. >> the issues around facebook this past year, and to some extent google and others, have increased some understanding of the amount of data that these companies are transacting. most consumers don't get it. how do we reframe this relationship where clearly all the information about me is worth something to these advertisers, to these other third parties that facebook and google are selling me out to. how do i change that dynamic and say, hey, this is my information, you should start paying me for it, not just giving me free e-mail? >> people talk a big game about privacy, and i think we're coming to grips with just how much data they have on us an becoming increasingly uncomfortable with it. but i think if you look at consumer behavior, people are comfortable with their privacy being violated as long as there's a coupon or utility at the ending of it. in my generation and you're a

station and struck by a car and trapped underneath and dragged for several blocks and the driver and passenger left the scene but police tracked down one person of interest. >> we have a person of interest in custody. we know there is one other person out there so i will need with y -- i will plead with you now, turn yourself in, call us or come down. >> reporter: she won't identify either subject or tell us their gender. >> i'll still distraught. >> reporter: charles green owns the auto repair shop whose surveillance caught the aftermath of the incident and pictures of the victim's injuries and was pleased to learn about the arrest. >> that is a beautiful thing. and i always say, if you hit someone, stay there. as soon as you take off, all bets are off. >> reporter: the young victim was moved over the weekend from highland to children's hospital where he is reported in critical condition in the intensive care unit. in oakland, eric thomas, abc 7 news. >> announcer: now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. >> we still have pockets of showers. let's look at live doppler 7

and work of dr king's and this year even u.s. president donald trump got in on honoring as he paid a visit to the stone memorial for dr king here in washington d.c. for a majestic two minutes of reverence and veneration. you have two minutes walk up lay the wreath and bounce was our president's burgeon of praise for one of the biggest and greatest figures in all of us history not that the puff pieces mind you my you know don't get me wrong that the puff pieces you'll see on mainstream cable news are any more you know reverential than what we witnessed from the president on monday you know rare will you hear on cable news and today's news media will they discuss or even allow to be observed dr king's stances against the vietnam war in the u.s. military industrial complex no not probably not going to see that. very much today but this year one group of citizens did more to honor dr martin luther king jr than just another cute video package and a two minute wreath presentation they banded together and called for a new investigation

and injury at, and india and brussels and london for he came to america whereby they asked him if you can tolerate brexit, you can go to washington dc. so please join me in welcoming his excellency ambassador daniel. >> thank you. you're very kind. thank you. it is good to be here. i always think that the longer you go on, the more memory and history kind of merge. i am this situation right now where my first really serious reflective memories are about 50 years old because i am in my early 60s and therefore i remember things that happened in the 60s. the early 60s not so much but by the mid-60s, certainly i was conscious of what was going on in the world. the reason for that was because in those days, watching the evening news was kind of a quasireligious experience for people. certainly in my family. my father was very interested in current affairs and the whole family had to sit down in the evening and watch the evening news and you cannot say a word between whenever it was six and 615 and then again in the evening later on. and also the one o'clock news on the radio was a big sort

and big and coming at us. thank you for the chairman letting me go over my time. senator: senator sullivan. senator sullivan: welcome, thank you for your service. i was looking at your bio but are you the nirs potential administrator of the federal highway administration who has a black belt in karate. ms. nason: i might be. senator: she is the first one o has a line and showing her blackbelt abilities. senator sullivan: if you have senator ems with whitehouse. ot to be careful with her. senator sullivan: the trump administration approved that. that took about 30 years, 12 miles. 12-mile road, dirt road. took almost 20 years to permit a gold mine in alaska because of litigation. the way, the ken sing ton mine that employs people at an average wage of $100,000 but 20 years of fighting and ridiculous delays on that took seven years to permit an exploration well in alaska and $7 bill. shell tried to do that in the last administration to make sure it almost took a decade. it takes seven years to permit a bridge. t

and frankly here is what happen and drop off was very sick and the 269 people who died in the korean airliner shot down by the soviet september 1983 reagan even wrote in his diary so he would be dead within a year so maybe that happened maybe he got sick but they did not follow up that somebody just having a general interest in the media would at least call kennedy by 1992 to follow up. >> chuck schumer was elected to congress 1981. nancy pelosi is elected i believe 1987. they were alive and they are still alive. you have the house intelligence committee. the senate intelligence committee the foreign affairs committee's. they don't want to investigate one of their own. they didn't want to know. >> and one liberal said to me kennedy does this in the interest of pcs worried about the cold war and nuclear armageddon. he's trying to do what he can he is worried. this is justified. i said i don't know if that's a motivation or not but nobody asked him about it. are there any political motivations? at least ask maybe at some point they would have. >> that even if there were no other aspect

are still in development and are in beta testing and we're working to get there and we can only go so fast as the software is developed. i would say that whole exercise that you described of the whole growth capacity assessment that i worked with scott for a year and a half on. it took us a year and a half to compile it all to compile al static 2-d map for you and the questions come out, what is the capacity of this subarea and then it takes another two months to get through this. >> one last one. ms. hester raised a good point about topography. a 15-minute walk from church to castro via 21st street is probably a lot different and more difficult than a plat area. even though the measurement is the same in terms of feet. how do you take into consideration these kinds of things? >> some of this new -- these new software platforms also enable production and performance, you know, performance information and indicators. whether it's walking distances or solar radiation or, you know, a lot of these things that can be programmed into it and what we're limited on now is sort of a 2d map of a
