Communities as many different types both cultures and ethnicities to actually guide us so one of the things were working on through the longterm coordinating council is really thinking what it means to do a Needs Assessment in the community and the particular concerns in the community that are culturally relevant so were thoughtful and sensitive communicator on what Palliative Care can offer and [inaudible] is put forward as one of the poster children for having the conversation out there for people becoming comfortable talking about their wishes for the future if they become seriously ill. Laacross is a very homogeneous community and we want to look at what it looks like and reduction of the illness burden and suffering in our community which is more diverse. Were taking this on with a lot of fervor i should say in the work group because its so important to be attentive to the issues here in san francisco. Bravo. Any other questions . Yes. Im a senior.

That is something i have been working on and committed to for decades. We saw similar problems back in the 1980s, when i served on a workforce Training Commission organized by the Wt Grant Foundation and the National Center for the economy. The problems have grown more complex as the economy has changed. Nearly 6 million young people are out of school and out of work. That is almost one in every six. For young people of color, things are even harder. If you do not have a College Degree or did not graduate from high school, most stores are not open, no matter how hard you not. Think about what that means. It is not just about missing a paycheck or going without benefits, like health care, when young people cannot find work, they miss out on a crucial period of personal and professional growth that reverberates for decades in lower wages and lost opportunities. Those first jobs i certainly remember my first job that is where you learn skills, even if it is just showing up on time. That i
Many know that Howard Law School was the incubator of much of the thinking that went into the early civil rights litigation work and so i would like to thank the interim dean and the howard faculty for oining us today as well. Many know that it really does take a village of amazing activists lawyers advocates brilliant people who have committed their lives to making america better for everyone. And i would ask that any of you who are here who are leading organizations stand. But i want to especially acknowledge the person who leads the Umbrella Organization in which we all sit and that is ade henderson. It is my pleasure and honor to introduce to you attorney general eric holder who was sworn in as the 82nd attorney general of the United States in 2009.

I did want to make a few important notes that you should know about him. T
Subsidies needed to fill in the gaps between the medical care and other social services needed in the community, maybe there ought to be models and programs has a state level that function for the people who were not lucky enough to be in the safety net that the Community Health centers represent. I think it is a very interesting question. We are scratching the surface, especially when it comes to socialng the determinants of health. We know they are there. We are starting to collect more information on them. I think there is a lot of evidence out there in terms of Health Center programs and looking at specific under in terms of insurance andlow income and education how those interventions have led to improved care. Moreld love to see research about how we actually include more of those health and define those and test those innovations to work in one Health Center and move it to. Nother Health Center how do we customize those interventions to work across maybeent communities and have
Will not affect that all stop their proposing to make context specific casebycase judgments about the appropriateness of certain behaviors. That makes sense. The scope is missing. If were worried about consumers having access to the content they are choosing, the threat to that openness does not come only from broadband. Hearingerested in groups arguing for open internet. Protection seldom talked about what is going on outside of this. We have realworld examples all the time. Last year and this year, and retransmission disputes. Content owners have withheld content from customers to essentially punish a cable provider. Often consumers are damaged in that. They cannot get access in a retransmission dispute within cbs and Time Warner Cable. Withheld it from Internet Access address is longing to Time Warner Cable will stop some of those customers were not time warner customers. They might have been directv subscribers. The weird thing from my perspective is that those who support a role f
