Welcome everybody to todays hybrid hearing. Pursuant to house rules, some members will appear in person and others will appear remotely via webx. Some members are appearing in person. Let me first remind everyone that pursuant to the latest guidance from the attending physician, all individuals attending the hearing in person must wear a face mask unless you are speaking. Members not wearing a face mask will not be recognized. Let me also make a few reminders for these members appearing in person. You will only see members and witnesses appearing remotely on the monitor in front of you when they are speaking in what is known as webx as active speaker view. The timer is visible in the room directly in front of you. For members appearing remotely, i know you are all familiar with webx by now, but let me remind you of a few points. First, you will be able to see each person speaking during the hearing, whether they are in person or remote, as long as you have your webx set to active speak
It takes up more room than the actual article itself. Want to introduce the subject of this next session which is this booklet here. Its called transform which is very beautiful and its about an initiative that we were privileged to fund called exploring innovation frontier. I want to give a shout out to promote the head of our engineering director at the time a few years ago when we made the decision to fund this. He has gone on to uc irvine where he is a vice chancellor for research. During this time there have been several workshops around the country and ill say a few words about that and then you will hear from two of the people that were greatly involved in those workshops more about this. Let me make now that ive kind of introduced the subject of basic research, leading to innovation and leading to engineering applications, let me make some formal remarks. I will just begin with the quote from our inspiration of the National Science foundation who believed that there must be a s
More now from the National Competitiveness forum with the focus on Public Private partnerships and manufacturing. This is an hour and a half. Good morning, everyone. Its great to be back with the council again. So i only have half a voice, im afraid. I left the other half in stockholm a couple days ago. I was very privileged to get to attend the nobel prize ceremonies because the National Science association supported the 3 physicists that won the prize for Gravitational Waves for 40 years. I think thats a good place to start. [ applause ] its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk high reward investment is all about. So that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome. A lot of people, as you might guess, came and went. It involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity using Super Computers so we actually knew when the first gravitational wave was detected, what the source was, that it was two

Salvatore immigrants in the u. S. All given a deadline to leave or face the deportation. Deadly protests grip sudan over rising bread prices. In the birthplace of tango a small city dances to a different tune. Welcome to the news our north and south korea have begun their first high level talks since twenty fifteen the meeting is expected to focus on the north participation in next months Winter Olympics. Chang souls been projecting enthusiasm about the talks but some are questioning whether theyll lead to any Real Progress joining me now is kathy novak our correspondent in solomon what do we know about the exact whereabouts of the delegations cathy. Well the meeting is happening in the border area known as puntland its also known as the truce this is where the armistice was signed that ended the korean war its an area heavily patrolled on each side by the North Koreans and by the un command on the south side so there are buildings on either side where these sort of where meetings can
