From what i understand and russia, they havent had a chance to really understand quality service. Going to an olympic experience or world cup they get a lot of training on service. Also on media, commercialism i think these or other intangibl intangibles. Thank you, lisa. I want to know, and over the discussion about the political issues involved with the world cup. I want to go on more the local contacts in russia and the two kind of central point. The first one is between the moment russia hosting the world cup and now its very different, russia politically, both International Position and domestic situation. Not only the ukrainian crisis but globally the revival of tension between russia and the west. Between the laws of the judo, between the loss of lgbt issues, so its really a very different way for russia to position itself. Domestically also things have been changing a lot. The bid was made before the antiput in per test of 201112. Now the political situation domestically is ver
Have now and there wasnt this consensus around doing those things. Those are two things that have come together that i hope will get carried forward in the next few years to really reach those goals. Anyone want to add on optimism or post 2015 . Let me just say that in my incoming address at the close of the Conference Also tried to share in that optimism but also back away a little bit from putting ourselves in a position where our concerns are 2030 and saying really what do we want to do by durban, which is two years from now. If we just keep the pace were going at, we should add at least, you know, 4 million or so more people on to treatment between now and then. That would be actually where we are plus a little better. And it seems to me that what we need to do with this every twoyear global convening is to start to use it more as an accountability tool and really to use it more as a formal way to measure where we are and what weve achieved. I feel just for myself the new goals, th
The importance of really targeting resources to where the virus is, to where people need treatment. Where transmission is ongoing. Given what the Global Funding climate looks like and given the fact that we are beginning to bear down on this. I have to thank you, because i was at many of the sessions and have read so much that has come out of the conference. That was the best summary of everything that happened. You got the best summary right here. Thanks jan, and Baxter Kaiser incurred for hosting us. And congratulations, chris. Youre a sent to being president for the next two years and and moving towards durban, which is very exciting. I was really struck by the emergence of opinion. Justin sitting and listening to , to Michelle Sidi bay. Degree to which is a very mature in advance consensus around what needs to happen is remarkable. This is not a community the set in deep controversy and division. I was at times a little irritated. This is really a sign of success. It, awas embedded
The media. Very inflammatory headlines. W. H. O. Says all gay men should be on prep. Nobody said that. Read the guidelines there. I think a real advance. In addition to the recommendation, theres an important recommendation for Community Distribution to reduce overdose deaths, which have actually in countries where theres good coverage of arbs, overdose death has been begun to replace hiv as the leading cause of death win people who inject opia opiates. There was good news on prep, which was the results released the Clinical Trial came out in 2011. Bob grant was the lead investigator. This is the open label extension. So this is really the question of the effectiveness of the prep when its not a placebo trial, when people know what they are taking. The good news is the effectiveness was higher than in the trial. About 50 overall. But looking at blood levels and at people who actually took the drug, it turns out, first of all, that the efficacy was 100 as measured in people who took it
Doctorate in Political Science from the university of california at berkeley. Welcome back to cato, ray. Thank you for having me. What can i say about the impact of Citizens United . Likable academic, i will say its too soon to tell and we need more research. Bob said as much. When this is done, i will speculate. Im worried about what is happening to Party Organizations. Its not entirely the fault of Citizens United but that in combination with speech now has made it far much worse for parties. I the more money should flow through Political Parties and civic groups because at least in theory parties are more accountable and tend to use their money to help challenges and are less inclined to support extremist, which is no small matter in todays polarized environment. Here we go. Thank you. Here are some trends i see and how citizen as united plays into them. It did not cause them but it greases the wheels, especially since 2000 to when Congress Passed the Bipartisan Campaign reform act.
