Good evening. I am the director of Public Programs here at the new york public library. Last week we have the great pleasure of welcoming to discuss the fate and fate of programs. A conversation we have now made. That was so regretful that he could not stayed to hear more a man he deeply admires who thought he believed is changing the world. They happen to know each other. Im thrilled to welcome the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner. The new economics of zero policy zero unemployment and zero carbon admissions a book that he will sign after his conversation i am also thrilled to welcome jeffrey back to the stage i believe it is his third time. Last time he spoke to the conversation. By charlie rose. And in 2007 he spoke for the first time here with Newt Gingrich. Its always a pleasure to welcome him back. I just cannot believe that in fact happened. Indeed here we are. Tonight i would like to think andrea young. They both helped so very much to make this evening happened. As usual my grati
Representatives that is well known. I may representative of a wellknown radio but it seems to me when our editorinchief is asked why putin needs you to broadcast, there are several reasons. First, they should get some use from the source. It is a good source. The second reason is that we need a showcase if some person from the west comes to moscow and asks where is the freedom of the broadcasting they can answer the. And the third reason it seems to me thats very important is radio has no meaning as a source of propaganda when there are elections in russia you can see the people who will be our politics on any channel but if you listen there are also people from opposition, and they do not have enough audience to get their voices for voting. It would have enough true if i say there is no freedom of media in russia. There is freedom of media that sometimes they have a very narrow audience because there are some internet media as the Daily Journal now that are now forbidden and there was
Henry thats barbershop talk. Michael when you were arrested at cambridge, did you know immediately when he answered that question this was going to be a big deal . Because it sounded to me like it was a very obvious point he made but did you see it immediately . Henry well, you know, my phones started ringing off the hook. I dont think you could use that metaphor anymore. Did your phone ring off the hook . [laughter] ken vibrated out of your pocket. Henry barack obama said it was stupid you got arrested. Yeah. But immediately he was attacked for doing it. So i knew he was going to have to pull back so i didnt know what he was going to do. Michael i got you. Henry so the idea of the you know, having a beer came up. And he asked my opinion about that and he talked to the policeman before he talked to me and i said, i think its a great idea. At that point, all i wanted was for heres what happened. We were making finding your roots, and my girlfriend and i flew out to l. A. On a friday. An
Evaluating indications of Global Restructuring and the extent of taxation. In 2010 and 2011, we saw the report on task risks regarding tax losses, and you saw reports in 2011 about the need for transparency disclosure and a 2012 report on hybrid mismatches dubbed theon 2 was us. This never resulted in the political call to action we are seeing now being played out in a number of jurisdictions. Nor did the prior initiatives received a fraction of the attention that has been the hallmark of the bep initiative. Whoy most Tax Professionals might be able to cite letter and verse of the action plan never noticed or worried about the prior reports or initiatives and thought they were of immediate concern. Why now . What is new . It is not the oecd that power and influence are, what is the power behind the movement . Environmentolitical and the public and political environment, largely outside the United States, that really launched the oecd initiative into what it is today. We know a number o
Its the only pace of spectrum where everybody on this planet has been able to agree on it. So that otherwise we have 55 or more different bands for lte. But this is the only one that works globally that will allow america to travel overseas, enjoy lte service there. Because otherwise that are like thousands of permutations were you may or may not be lucky when you go overseas so that you can actually access the lte network that people have in that country. Let me add one thing. Way you should think of this as an improvement in Global Consumer welfare. Because whats happening is this unused spectrum for underused, is being transferred to use by consumers both in u. S. And around because of roaming around the world.

When i asked how are going to get agencies to give it up, a very famous becomes in hell said that we should patent the its funny all the congress think the same. This is why we dont get invited back to cocktail parties
