benefits and my goal would be to take the minutes through a similar process so they can have a good layperson's understanding of the health care system. at the same time we're going to be asking people to do more because the world of health care is getting more complicated with the federal health care and other things offered by the state. we need our members to have a higher involvement and awareness in the ongoing flow of information that's going to be delivered from a lot of other sources. so in order to do that i think we need to a develop some more tools and get more strategic about our communications calendar so we're targeting messages to different populations. we're having videos and online course war and coordinate with our vendors so work on common campaigns that are hitting with the same frequency throughout the year and you need to have a feedback group. we need to start protein to at this point, the opportunities we can billed into our online tools and this way we can move past simple words and pictures to flunking behavior. the second i think it's called adopt activity. we're in t

>> you know i'm a layperson it is not in my area of the expertise so it make sense that a shorter building but my concern is the taller building. in the article that come out this morning some firefighters we've lost in buildings that were on the 30th floor >> yeah. this is la i believe. >> philadelphia 3 firefighters. >> i know this was 20 years ago but i want to feel comfortable. >>right. >> with the decision we're making. i'm curious at what feet do we want to have thirty floors or 50 floors. today, we're building buildings taller than >> let me state for the record neither los angeles nor philadelphia have a fire system so even after losing firefighters in high-rise buildings they don't have a fire system. so again, the fire department's position is that we feel the elevator are multiple use tool that can help us with not only shelving our air bottles but helping with the equipment that's also an issue for the fire department >> you know i get it. i would want to take the elevator there was some talk about the way we constrict stairwells how do we construct elevators. do they have the

to be honest, i feel uncomfortable being a layperson to vote on a policy change such as this one. we have to trust the fire commission and fire department as well in terms of what they deem is safe. for me it seems important to go above and beyond so i was initialing to keep what it was to keep the air that you are system for our high-rise building. i think that 75 feet is two low but 1 hundred and above is important to not have to carry our air pressure system up. new york may not have those systems but it's helpful to understand what's happening internationally. i hope we talk about the case of an earthquake. i'm concerned when we have an earthquake in a building but when we are talking about a high-rise building i have concerned or concerns about carving up equipment. and just because some of the buildings and it was helpful to hear all the sides. we have the final goal is protect the highest level of safety for our firefighters and resident as well. but it seems like with this remedies i feel comfortable moving forward. one thing i want to get clarification is one of the argum

why were people just tell the layperson out there why people were against him being the next head of the fed. >> well, first of all, it's actually interesting and almost ironic, democrats were against larry summers being the next head of the fed and he has been blamed in part for the financial crisis, for the deregulation that took place when he was treasury secretary under clinton, for so many other things. this was about personality. this was about people who discuss decided they didn't like him for what he said when he was the president of harvard about women. he was and in some cases is the smartest guy in the room but he's also somebody who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and perhaps because of that he lost this position and the president i don't think was ready to accept -- to undergo this nomination knowing how difficult the process was going to be and, in fact, and the party was he would have needed republicans to get him over the line, not democrats. >> we have a bunch of things to get through. if he constitution couldn't get the votes for syria would have been tou

. >> maybe for the layperson, they were asked a question that cultural activities or local festivals are very much local in nature. how can they if foreign visitors of people outside of taiwan don't know much about your traditions or history, how can they identify what the local activities or festivals simply because it's been a big promotional effort behind these festivals? >> that's right. local festival in theory is a local thing. the war -- the world economy is shifting from the industry parts -- we are changing from technology industry to a creative industry. if you talk about the creative industry, local festivals i usually say it is a means to show our local identity. behind that, the story telling tells a very important issue. how can you package the local history into an interesting story which you can tell not only our friends in taiwan but more like international friends. from this part, -- in taiwan, i teach a lot of international students and they are very impressed. right now, they are very excited about the festival because they've heard about the activity we used to d

the conversation still did not start and this individual here in dekalb, he clearly and any common layperson can see that and what has been reported through the media, here's another individual that had some mental health issues but yet the topic just seemed to have just faded away. now here we are again as late as yesterday and we have another violent situation in this country where people lost their lives and people have been injured and scarred for the rest of their lives. so here again for me as a law enforcement official, an administrator here, we're going to have to begin in this country to readdress and revisit and think more about mental health and just begin to have the conversation. it's a very complex issue. there's no simple solutions to it but we got to begin to have the conversation around mental health, those who suffer severely with mental health illnesses and those in possession of deadly weapons. >> chief, i appreciate your call for the conversation and of course we're not on neutral ground here. there's about over $400 million allotted annually in the federal budget to the

this is the question that i think in the only me as a scientist, i think even a layperson ought to begin to ask that question. >> no increase in violent weather. no increase in hurricanes. all of this. and somehow we're still supposed to believe the models. models that they picked because they supported their political interests, not because they represented good science. >> reporter: many recent storms, fires droughts have been blamed on climate change, but today's report finds a historical record of similar disasters long before manmade global warming was in anybody's lexicon. brett? >> thank you. >>> officials in colorado are trying to find hundreds of people still unaccounted for following the massive flooding there. the latest count has dropped to a little more than 300. the death toll stands at six with two women missing and presumed dead. >>> when we come back, an exclusive interview with syrian president bashar al assad from damascus. ese days, a small busis can save by sharing. like carpools... polly wants to know if we can pick her up. yeah, we can make room. yeah.

january for the infectious disease conference my son funded the added delta surveillance network but as a layperson to take away that i got after listening for one week is that that jersey's surveillance network has been instrumental tuesday about early the development of viruses that can help. can you comment on that that there are five or six around the world and is it correct they will play a vital wall in early catching viruses before they develop the nutation? >> it is tremendously important. also most of the influence the strains come out of asia and now china is doing vastly better. there were four centers around the world but to rapid diagnostics. tokyo and amanda and now beijing as well. but what is a great events it is technological training but that influence a network going for a long time where this interaction is not concealing anything is tremendously important. >> thank you very much. [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> warren would stage and in the middle hiller one dash year. this is a perfect backdrop for the campaign. not only did it show the human side cover the fact that t

as a layperson, the take away d'agata from this is that that disease surveillance network has been instrumental in stepping up early the development of viruses that can jump. want to ask you to comment on that because i guess there are five or six of them around the world. as i said to come is it correct that these are going to play a very vital world in early kedging of viruses before they develop the mutation to jump? >> i think it is instrumental important. really influence, that china is doing vastly better. there were four who is around the world. very rapid diagnostics. london, millburn, tokyo, atlanta. another is one in beijing as well. china has done one of the well. and they are very, very open about what is happening which is really a great advance. so it is technological training, bringing people up to speak to my having proper the network. it has been going a long time. and so when cooperation, interaction, not concealing anything, tremendously important with infectious disease. >> thank you very much. >> thank you.

my wife as a layperson not so much, couldn't be convinced. ultimately i found i'm a hard-headed dude, pathetic like every other men and we into towed listen to our wifds and doctors and ask for directions when we get lost, all those things but it's prostate awareness montana. if you live long enough you're going to get this although it's different in different stages of life. if i were 80 there would have been no treatment. 60 treatment might have been different. in my 50s clearly definitive procedures, i had the robotic da vinci to stateectomy. i was home in a day, back at work in a week and felt myself in a couple of months. my purpose is to help other men understand you're not alone, and take care of these things. commercial about colon cancer, you should be screened for that, so we pick the things up early. these are inevitable. we're biological, things are going to happen but there's so much that can be done to prevent these from being devastating. i felt alone, i felt -- it's an awful feeling when you get this diagnosis no matter what y

laypersons were also permitted to give prayers. but as with all of these establishment clause causes, the particular facts are really -- david's phrase, rubber meets the road. let me just throw out a few. the majority and in some years the overwhelming majority of prayers contained clear sectarian christian references to jesus cris, for example. the prayers were made on the behalf of the town, the the court of appeals found using we and us. there was an invitation to audience members to participate, stand, or otherwise participate in the prayer, and no guidance was given to the people giving prayers which has been sometimes true. in term of can you make your prayer to the consistent to the original religion. broad and inclusive rather than more focused. the court of appeals found that the prayer practice associated the town with the christian religion and violated the establishment clause. the relevance supreme court is mar are issue against chamber. which involved prayer in the state legislature. the court upheld the practice of h
