Item number three. I know we understand the importance of the work here, but certainly the recent incident in can kansas city is glaring, the foot ball player is a tragedy. I talked on the radio about it and talked about it at the club with the young men and women. That is certainly on my mind and not that we need more focus but certainly thats why were here. Thank you. I just want to reiterate the women that came forward there has been substantial changes in the way Domestic Violence cases are prosecuted and vghtded. You will hear more about that but when i started out there was Domestic Violence department and it was in the general Works Department and now there are victim advocates.
