To go about this repair technique what i mean by that is after you take all of the paint and primer off the dome, the cast iron of this generation flash rusts in eight hours. The timeliness of the application is important. We have to have those processes down very well so that we dont have to double do work. What about the scaffolding gives you mild concerns . The fact that it is a massive scaffolding project, i think getting that scaffolding here, lifting it up to the roof of the dome, and then getting it installed and taken back down is just a massive logistical effort. That is probably one of the biggest risks on the job. When they did the reflecting pool in the mall, they used fairly exotic technology to keep the algae out and later we saw algae forming. Is there any exotic techniques that you will try here that are not tested . Know, there are no exotic techniques were using. We tested many, many repair techniques over the course of nearly 10 years to help advise us and test a wid
Today, we celebrate the lives and contributions to our country, with their families and friends who are with us today. Congratulations to all of you. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, United States senator from the state of oklahoma, the honorable james inhofe. [applause] we heard first from congressman tom cole who is our native american art of congressional delegation. I recall hearing from him before he was in congress and at that time i was in the house, and introduced us to this bestkept secret of world war ii and world war i, the code talkers. I look around and i see a lot of people who were very active other than those on the program today, but on the program today we have made mention of dan boren. He is here. I believe wes watkins is one of the initial individuals who reminded us of this bestkept secret. So, for decades after world war ii, people did not know anything about the contributions we started introducing resolutions and it was not until 2008 that we were successful. I
That were again setting the really, onn twitter, the web, every day, and they thought that to be a major problem. Absolutely. You also go a little bit about how obama and romney had a different strategy with the press and a different strategy about twitter itself. Compare and contrast those. Well, i think look. I laid out early on in the paper, using the Romney Campaign as a case study of how this is changing and the internet is tough, because romney is sort of a cautious.

I am humbled to be here. I so appreciate the work that you have done. I look forward to your leadership because you are organizing a world that i want to live in. Thank you. [applause] we will pick up there. I have 493 questions or something. We will get to do four or five of them probably. I want to leave some room for the audience. I want to start where beth ended. The notion of violinist against black women violence against black women. I cant think about much of anything without thinking of it through the lens of 12 years a slave. If you have not yet seen it, you must. Theres a lot of discourse publicly about it at this moment, but for me, perhaps one of the most useful aspects
