Hello, hi! This episode delivers part two of my conversation about women's health and empowerment with Sarah Rich. Drawing from her background in Sexuality, Marriage, and Family studies, coupled with a minor in psychology, Sarah brings a distinctive perspective that shapes our conversation. Her versatile career journey—from construction to taxes and beauty—has honed her adaptability and nurtured an insatiable curiosity. Venturing abroad during her dynamic 20s ignited her love for exploration, a passion she now fuels through running, rowing, boxing, and weight lifting. Sarah embraces the roles of a devoted spouse and a mother of three, excelling in both her professional pursuits and her familial bonds. With over a decade dedicated to fostering student development at a university, Sarah empowers young minds to flourish, though her true calling lies in championing diversity and inclusivity.

Host Erin Vandeven and her best friend Sarah explore these matters with openness and a touch of humour – all while engaging in some makeup playtime! Breaking the Silence: We address the importance of more open conversations surrounding menstrual health. By doing so, we aim to foster inclusivity, alleviate feelings of isolation, and diminish societal marginalization. Banishing Guilt and Shame: We explore the necessity of dispelling guilt associated with hormonal cycle-related symptoms. This includes breaking free from self-judgment and embracing a healthier understanding of the body's natural fluctuations. Beyond Menstrual Products: An intriguing question arises – why are there no products tailored to support women throughout their entire hormonal cycle, beyond just menstruation? Cycling and Sexuality: Expecting variations in sexual desire and experiences as hormones shift throughout the monthly cycle. We discuss the ebbs and flows of sexuality and how to navigate these changes. Talking to Kids About Periods: Sharing age-appropriate and accessible information with children about periods is vital. We explore how this conversation differs from the way we learned about menstruation and the benefits it offers. The Menstrual Myth Dilemma: We delve into the harms of menstrual myths, especially when women seek medical help for symptoms or pain. Often, they face gaslighting within the healthcare system, hindering accurate diagnoses. Advice for Our Younger Selves: Reflecting on our own experiences, we share the advice we wish we could offer our younger selves about understanding and embracing our periods. Sarah's Top Tip: Sarah provides an insightful tip for all listeners who experience a menstrual cycle, offering guidance to put this episode's inspiration into action.

Hello, hi! Today's podcast is all about the Skin Care Olympics awarded by me and my dear friend Sarah Rich from @getnormal on Instagram. Sarah and I are very old and dear friends who love nerding out on all things beauty together, and we figured the recent Tokyo Olympics provided us with a great theme to chat about some of our most (and least) loved products. Before the conversation with Sarah, I also experiment with some less refined, more spontaneous chat about my thoughts regarding the conversation, my friendship with Sarah and the idea of not taking yourself too seriously. I hope you love this episode as much as I do! If you'd prefer the video version, it can be found on my Instagram IGTV page @medium.lady.

Rich TableBy Sarah and Evan Richwith Carolyn Alburger Intro: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book podcast with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking the cookbook authors.Sarah Rich: My name is Sarah Rich and my husband Evan and I have just come out with our new cookbook called Rich Table.Suzy Chase: It was so nice to meet you at High Street on Hudson, Wednesday night, and taste dishes out of this cookbook. I want to kick things off by talking about some of the incredible dishes I had. First, let's start with one of the snacks. The cranberry bean dip on page 66. Describe this dish and what are cranberry beans?Sarah Rich: Cranberry beans are a fresh shelling bean, and they're really, really delicious, and we love to use them at Rich Table. One of the things that we're really lucky to have at Rich Table is, being in San Francisco, we have these great farmers markets and we got so much great produce and we can change the menu constantly. With the cranberry bean dip, we wanted to make something that was sort of like ... similar to kind of a hummus because that's one of our favorite things to eat, but a little bit different, and we use cranberry beans instead, because they have kind of that same rich creaminess, but just something a little bit different.Suzy Chase: And then talk a little bit about the plancha bread. Is that how you pronounce it?Sarah Rich: Okay. Yeah. Yes, plancha bread. We call it that. We have something in our kitchen called a plancha, which is basically just like a flat top or a griddle. We make this bread. It's really, really easy bread to make, and we roll it out into little balls and then roll that out into a nice, long, sort of oval shape and grill it right on the plancha, so it gets ... it has a nice sort of yeasty flavor. It's got some whole wheat in it, so it's got a little nice texture to it, nice chewiness, but then cooking it right on the flattop or the griddle gives it a really wonderful flavor and a little crispness to the outside. It's kind of like a pizza dough but instead of puffing it up in the oven, we just grill it flat on the griddle. We serve the cranberry bean dip with that, and then we have some fresh wax beans or you can use runner beans or green beans or broad beans. Whatever sort of pole beans like that. Slice it up nice and thinly, dress it with a little bit of our [inaudible 00:02:35] vinaigrette and some padron peppers that we've charred, which gives it a little spiciness.Suzy Chase: Yeah. It was kind of a fresh take on the pita and Hummus.Sarah Rich: Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. A very California, Rich Table take on that.Suzy Chase: By the way, my husband said if we lived in California, we'd go here once a week. Sarah Rich: Oh, good. Well that's what we want. We do say that about Rich Table. We wanted to be the kind place where you could go for a special occasion where you could go every Tuesday night for a grilled steak and pasta.Suzy Chase: I wish you'd come back to New York City, but anyway, that's beside the point. And I digress. Next I had the sprouted quinoa cakes with summer squash and chevre on page 178. Described this dish.Sarah Rich: We really try to have a lot of vegetarian options. The way our menu is broken down, we've got our bite section, which are really tiny little things to eat, snacks to have when you start your meal, appetizers. We have pastas and then we have our main courses, of course. We always have a steak, we always have some sort of fish or something like that, but we like to also have a nice vegetarian option and we want to do something beyond just like sauteed vegetables on a plate, and so this is an example of that. You've got the sprouted quinoa. Sprouting it kind of gives it ... softens it a little bit and helps it, actually, your body digest it a little bit easier, and then we make the cakes out of that and grill them, again, on the plancha. The chev goes really nicely with that.Suzy Chase: For my main course, I ordered the buttermilk poached chicken that's on page 205. I don't think I've ever had poached chicken at a restaurant. I cannot tell you how buttery and moist it was. Describe this dish.Sarah Rich: Exactly. My husband and I met at a restaurant called Bouley, which is downtown in Tribeca, and this was actually something ... a technique that we learned there. Chicken on the menu ... even Evan's mom, she ordered the same dish. She came to the dinner as well and she said, "I never order chicken when I go out to eat.", and I think a lot of people feel that way because they're like, "Chicken. I make chicken all the time at home.", but this is a way to make chicken. It makes it, just like you said, very buttery. It's a beautiful texture. We take the breast and put it in a bag and add buttermilk, season it really nicely, and then you just poach it in a water bath really slowly and gently so that, that buttermilk, it's its own little warm bath for the chicken. It kind of permeates the meat, it gets that ... buttermilk has kind of a tangy saltiness to it, a richness to it that gets into the meat, makes it super tender. Then cooking it slowly like that just keeps it really, really nice and makes it buttery, like you said.Suzy Chase: The salted caramel panna cotta on page 240 was interesting and I thought the coffee was all the way through, but it was just the crumble that was the coffee.Sarah Rich: Yes. Yeah. I like ... with my desserts, texture is very important to me, and also I actually have a savory background. I make the desserts at Rich Table, but the majority of my training is on the savory side of things. I come to desserts from that perspective. For me, I think a lot of people make desserts that are overly sweet, really heavy and I like a little saltiness to what I do. Obviously, a little salt in the caramel panna cotta, and then the crunch from the coffee crumble, which gives ... a lot of people are afraid of bitter as a flavor, but I think bitter is a very useful tool, so I add a little bit of bitterness to kind of counter the sweetness of the caramel and then the whip cream kind of balances everything out and adds a little nice smooth texture as well.Suzy Chase: Last but not least. I don't drink coffee, I don't even like coffee, but your Rich Table coffee, knocked my socks off. The recipe's on page 278. Talk about this cup of deliciousness.Sarah Rich: When you come to San Francisco, one of the things that you do as a tourist, is you go to The Buena Vista Cafe, which is down near fisherman's wharf, and they make a classic Irish coffee and they do a fantastic job of it. We wanted to sort of put our own spin on that classic San Francisco cocktail. We use Fernet Branca, which is an Amaro, which is very, very popular out in San Francisco. In fact, when you are a line cook working in the city, that is what you drink at the end of a shift. Which, coming from New York, we had ... we didn't really know that, and so that was something that we learned being out in San Francisco. We included that in our Irish coffee and then we also add a little pistachio cream to it, which you can't .... pistachio and coffee go really wonderfully together and it's just such a sort of rich, luxurious ingredient to add that makes it really delicious. Nobody doesn't like the Rich coffee.Suzy Chase: I could literally drink this every day. It would make me a coffee drinker.Sarah Rich: Yeah, yeah. We had ... that is a common opinion. My mom is not a coffee drinker. She loves the Rich coffee. Evan's parents don't drink coffee too much. They love it. Anybody who has it loves the Rich coffee.Suzy Chase: You're traveling to a few different cities cooking out of this cookbook. How is it cooking in a different kitchen? Does it throw off your flow?Sarah Rich: For sure. That is always a difficult part of it because you're in your own kitchen, you're used to where things are you, you're used to how things are done. You don't have to run around searching for things because you know exactly what you're looking for, where to go. You've got the team that you're used to working with that ... working in a kitchen, it's kind of like being in a ballet. There's a little dance that you do in your movements and where you go and who you're dancing with, and so you don't have that sort of flow in a different kitchen. It's always challenging. We've done dinners in some of the nicest kitchens in the country and it's difficult to even in those. Yeah, it's a challenge, but it's also really fun. It's really fun to see how other people experience your food and their reaction to it and especially working with cooks, how they react to your food or the questions they have. It's fun. It's challenging, but it's fun.Suzy Chase: You learned your techniques and flavors working at some of the best restaurants in the United States. Where did you and your husband, Evan, hone your skills?Sarah Rich: We definitely, like you said, we worked in some really great restaurants here in New York and then also out in California, and that's where you really, for sure, learn those basic techniques that you need to master how to be a good cook. Then when you ... we opened our restaurant. You sort of draw from those experiences and you draw from things that you've learned in terms of flavor and texture and how to put a dish together, and then you just sort of have to break free from just doing what you're comfortable with and start to kind of develop your own perspective. I guess what I mean is, when we first opened Rich Table and we were definitely drawing from all the places we've worked. Even, for example, the buttermilk poached chicken. That was a technique that we learned at Bouley, we brought it over to Rich Table. And then, years later, you sort of evolve and start really putting your own solid perspective into things.Suzy Chase: One thing I hate about fine dining is that you have to dress up. When my husband and I want to eat out in New York City, we don't want to dress up like it's prom. I'm so happy to see that you embrace a casual atmosphere with sort of fine dining level food.Sarah Rich: Right. Yeah. That is also very important to us. I mean we have the same experience and the same feeling. In fact, being back in the city, we've been eating around town and we notice that. We leave our hotel room and we're wearing jeans and a tank top and some sandals, and let's go in anywhere in San Francisco wouldn't be a problem, but here you walk in and you're like, "Oh my gosh, I'm clearly the least properly dressed person in this restaurant.". It is kind of, on one level, just sort of a California mentality. But it's also true that we don't like dressing up. Evan hates it more than anything. He just wants to be able to go as is, a button down or whatever, but feel ... he doesn't like that feeling of feeling uncomfortable when you walk into a space, and so we don't want our guests to feel that way either. We worked in so many restaurants where our friends want to come visit us, but they feel awkward, so they don't. We want ... It was really important to us to create a space where everybody felt welcome and Rich Table is like that. It can be an event kind of dinner. You can get dressed up. You can go to the opera, wear your nice dress, wear your nice suit, stop at Rich Table, have a meal, but you can also just go into the movies that night or maybe you just want to hang out at dinner and there is no dress code.Suzy Chase: I love that. In the cookbook you wrote, "We choose ingredients and put them together based on our understanding of what makes your pallets sing.". A couple of ingredients you love, are gelatin sheets, Douglas fir powder, isomalt, and pop sorghum. Describe a few of these.Sarah Rich: Yeah. That is an interesting grouping. Yes, we do use all of those things. Douglas fir is something that we really started using when we were doing ... Before we had opened Rich Table, we started doing popups, and we were trying to figure out menus and we would take these hikes through Marin and specifically, actually one of the first hikes we ever took was when Evan was ... he was interviewing for the chef de cuisine position at a restaurant called Quince, which is one of the best restaurants in San Francisco. At this point it has three Michelin stars, four star restaurant in the chronicle, it's a fantastic restaurant. He was trying to think of dishes to put together and we're wandering through hiking Mount Tamalpais and there are all these Douglas fir trees around and they've got their fresh springs shoots with these little tiny soft feathery green shoots.And we're picking those off and smelling them. Evan was like, "I think I'll use this in something.", and put together a dish and ended up getting the job, and was there for about a year. That's how we sort of discovered this flavor of Douglas fir, and so we started incorporating it into our dishes in our popups, and then later when we opened Rich Table. It's just something that ... it's just so California. It's just, to us, the flavor, the smell, all of those things just are very so much a part of our experience in California and so we love it. We use it in our bread, we use it in cocktails, I've used it in a desert, and it's ... a little bit goes a long way. You don't want the food to taste like a Christmas tree, but just that little essence of like tiny, citrusy quality is really nice. Then isomalt. We make lot of little tuiles, kind of like a cookie, crackery sort of thing. Very crunchy. Isomalt is a ... it's kind of like a type of sugar where it has the qualities of sugar when you cook it, so you can get that brittleness, but it doesn't have all of the sweetness. It's really useful in ... if you're making a savory tuile. You want it to sort of shatter like glass, like you could do if you made caramel, but it doesn't have that sweetness. The gelatin, we use to give body to things or to set things like panna cotta. And then, what was the other one?Suzy Chase: Popped sorghum.Sarah Rich: Oh, popped sorghum. Oh, that's a great one. Popped sorghum .... sorghum is a grain and it gets used ... a grass seed, sorry. It gets used a lot of times as a syrup in the south, but it also ... it's like a little tiny seed. You can actually buy the seeds online really easily at this point, and we pop it just like you pop popcorn. We get oil really hot, throw the seeds in and they pop just like tiny ... they really ... they look exactly like tiny, tiny popcorn. And so it's a fun little way to add a little texture. I keep coming back to that because the texture is just so important to us in our food. So it's a little crunch. It's actually a little bit nuttier than popcorn. It's really fun. Everybody who sees it is like, "Oh my God, tiny popcorn.", and I make it for my kids sometimes. I'll take it back home and just pop it. They love to see tiny popcorn. We've used it all over the place.Suzy Chase: Did you know there's a region in China, and they eat things just for the texture?Sarah Rich: I believe it.Suzy Chase: They prioritize the texture over the flavor.Sarah Rich: Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's a really important part of the enjoyment of the food, I think.Suzy Chase: You also wrote in the cookbook, "You have to understand, to a girl from a small southern town, there's this fascination with New York City. It's where life happens.". And I thought the very same thing growing up in Kansas, and now I live in New York City. What was it like for you coming to the big city to go to the French Culinary Institute?Sarah Rich: Oh, it was amazing. It was like a ... I don't want to say a dream come true because that sounds so cheesy, but it was a ... I never would have thought that I would have done that. I'm a pretty ... I was saying this to somebody the other day. I'm a pretty shy kind of quiet person and not super brave about things like that, and I don't think it was something that anybody would have expected of me. There were plenty of people, when I told them I was moving to New York, they laughed at me and they said, "You'll never make it. That city's gonna eat you up.", and it was really fulfilling a dream. It really was. We used to watch these movies. Like I say in the book, Working Girl, and Melanie Griffith is on the Staten Island ferry looking into Manhattan, and it just seemed like such a vibrant, exciting place where you could make anything happen. And it was that. That's exactly what it was for me. I remember moving to the city, I lived in Hoboken at the time and was going to the French Culinary Institute in Soho and it was so exciting to take the path train and walk from the World Trade Center up to Soho. I tried to walk as much as I wanted to or could so I could see everything. Working down in Tribeca, later at Bouley. It was amazing. It was everything that I wanted it to be.Suzy Chase: I just posted something on Instagram telling about how I grew up in Prairie Village, Kansas and I would stay up late watching Saturday Night Live every weekend, and just the intro, I was like, everyone's asleep in Prairie Village, but everyone's out in New York City and was like, I'm missing something.Sarah Rich: Yes, exactly. People will sometimes have a young cook in their twenties or even early thirties, and they say, "Hey, I'm thinking about maybe moving to New York City for a while, what do you think?.", and I always say, "Do it. Do it now. Do it. Absolutely.". Because there's a point where you won't. There's a point where your life will have moved past the point where you're willing to take that leap. I 100% always encourage people to do it if it's something they want to do.Suzy Chase: Since your food is so unique, I can only imagine Rich Table, your restaurant in San Francisco, is too. Describe the space.Sarah Rich: It's actually a really lovely space. It's a corner restaurant and we have these huge windows that go floor to ceiling almost. It lets in the most wonderful lights. When ever we do photo shoots, the photographer is always just beside themselves with how great the lighting is. They almost never have to do any sort of tweaking. It's really warm and really just light and really nice. It's funny, when we first found the space, there were a number of people that were like, I don't know why you chose that space, because it's a little bit off from the main area of Hayes Valley and a little bit closer to the mission. But now people who are ... they want to know how did we find it? It's such an amazing space. They're a little jealous. But it's a corner space with big windows. You walk in and there's the host stand right there. A nice long bar over to your right, and then we've got an open kitchen. On the other side of the bar is where the pass is, where the chef stands and all the line cooks and the sous chefs are there on the hotline, cooking the food, passing it over to the chef. The service are coming up, picking up the food, taking it to tables. It's very vibrant and you feel that sort of energy throughout the entire space. We've got a banquette along one wall with long boards that go up to the ceiling that were from an old barn up in Petaluma. They were salvaged, and so those line the walls. Yeah. That's Rich Table.Suzy Chase: Now to my new segment called my last meal. If you had to place an order for your last supper on earth, what would it be?Sarah Rich: Oh, it's so easy. It would be a grilled steak with a fully loaded baked potato.Suzy Chase: Wow, that was fast. People are usually like, "Hmm.".Sarah Rich: No. You know what? Normally I would be. Normally, I'm terrible at answering questions like that because it's like, I don't know. I like this. I like that. What would it really be? But the last couple of times I have made myself a steak and a baked potato, I have thought this is just it. This is my last meal. Now I just know, that's it. There are many things to love. There are many meals to be had. There are many things that would satisfy me, but I really just think that's it.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web, Social Media, and in San Francisco?Sarah Rich: We are found on Instagram @RichTable. It's just that simple. I am Sally Hurricane and Rich Table is located at 199 Gough Street, in San Francisco.Suzy Chase: And what's your website?Sarah Rich: RichTableSF.comSuzy Chase: It was so nice to meet you in person and taste food out of this glorious cookbook, and thanks for coming on cookery by the book podcast.Sarah Rich: Well, thank you so much for having me.

After working intensely and successfully with star chefs like David Bouley and Michael Mina, Sarah Rich and her equally accomplished husband Evan decided to open their own place Rich Table in San Francisco. It was a dream come true, but a dream with an emotional as well as economic price tag when the two had to figure out how to run the restaurant and take care of a child. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, Sarah tells the story of struggling to open the business, then the difficulty of coming to terms with handing over daily cooking duties and taking on pastry in order to be home with their infant son. As the restaurant world confronts work-life balance and tries to figure out how to embrace and accommodate working mothers, Sarah’s strong, poignant voice is important to hear.

In 2012, Congress created a new government agency called FirstNet and tasked it with building a high-speed wireless network that would allow all first responders in the United States to communicate with each other daily and in times of emergencies. In July, FirstNet awarded AT&T with a 25 year contract to do the actual work. In this episode, hear highlights from a recent hearing about this new network as we examine the wisdom of contracting such an important part of our public safety infrastructure to the private sector.

Witnesses: Curtis Brown: Virginia Deputy Secretary of Public Safety & Homeland Security Dr. Damon Darsey: University of Mississippi Medical Center Professor Mark Goldstein: GAO Physical Infrastructure Issues Director Chris Sambar: AT&T FirstNet, Senior Vice President Michael Poth: FirstNet CEO Timestamps & Transcripts 1:10 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): In 2012 Congress created the First Responder Network Authority to lead the development of a nationwide interoperable public-safety broadband network in the United States. Following the communication’s failures that plagued recovery efforts during 9/11 and other national emergencies, including Hurricane Katrina, there was and still is a clear need for a reliable communications network to support the essential work of our public-safety officials. Such a network would improve coordination among first responders across multiple jurisdictions and enhance the ability of first responders to provide lifesaving emergency services quickly. 6:37 Sen. Brian Schatz (HI): With FirstNet, firefighters will be able to download the blueprint of a burning building before they enter; a police officer arriving at a scene can run a background check or get pictures of a suspect by accessing a federal law enforcement database; most importantly, emergency personnel will not be competing with commercial users for bandwidth. They will have priority on this network, which will be built and hardened to public-safety specifications. It will have rugged eyes and competitive devices and specify public-safety applications. 9:40 Curtis Brown: Last week the governor was proud to announce that Virginia was the first state in the nation to opt in to FirstNet. Virginia opted in to provide current AT&T public-safety subscribers with the benefit of priority services now at no cost to the Commonwealth, as well as the green light to build out of Virginia’s portion of the national public-safety broadband network. We believe that decision to opt in will promote competition within the public-safety communications marketplace, that will reduce costs and drive innovation across all carriers. Opting out was _____(00:31-verily) considered, but the unknown cost and risk associated with deploying and operating a network was not feasible. 19:45 Mark Goldstein: In March 2017 FirstNet awarded a 25-year contract to AT&T to build, operate, and maintain the network. FirstNet’s oversight of AT&T’s performance is very important, given the scope of the network and the duration of the contract. Among GAO’s findings in the report are the following: first, FirstNet has conducted key efforts to establish the network, namely releasing the requests for proposal for the network and awarding the network contract to AT&T. As the contractor, AT&T will be responsible for the overall design, development, production, operation, and evolution of the network. 24:35 Chris Sambar: The AT&T team that I lead is dedicated exclusively to FirstNet. I expect this group to grow to several-hundred employees by this year’s end as we hire people across the country with a broad range of skill sets to help us ramp up our network build out. Overall, AT&T expects to spend $40 billion over the lifetime of this contract and to build an operating unique, nationwide, interoperable, IP-based, high-speed mobile network, encrypted at its core, that will provide first responders priority, primary users with preemption and all other users during times of emergency and network congestion. The First Responder Network will be connected to and leverage off AT&T’s world-class telecommunications platform, valued at nearly $180 billion, including a wireless network that reaches 99.6% of the U.S. population. In addition, AT&T will support first responders 24 by 7 by 365 with a dedicated security-operation center and help desk. We will provide first responders with a highly secure application ecosystem as well as a highly competitive flexible pricing on equipment and services that they select for their unique needs. One of the most important resources that AT&T brings to bear on the new First Responder Network is our best-in-class national disaster-recovery team. We have spent more than a 130,000 working hours on field exercises and disaster-recovery deployments over the last two decades. This team combines network infrastructure, support trailers, recovery engineering-software applications, and boots on the ground filled by full-time and volunteer AT&T disaster-response team members. In order to support the First Responder Network, AT&T will increase its disaster-recovery fleet by adding 72 new custom-designed vehicles, just for the FirstNet mission. 26:55 Chris Sambar: Possibilities include near real-time information on traffic conditions, which can help determine the best route to an emergency for a first responder; wearable sensors and cameras for police and firefighters to help give them better situational awareness and camera-equipped drones and robots that will be able to deliver real-time imagery. Our FirstNet efforts are expected to create 10,000 U.S. jobs over the next two years as well as significant public-private infrastructure investment. 30:25 Michael Poth: We’ve created and delivered state plans on June 19 to 50 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia three months ahead of schedule, and as mentioned, the five governors from five great states have already opted in. None of this could be possible, though, without the public-private framework that Congress established for the FirstNet network, by leveraging private-sector resources, infrastructure, cost savings, public-private partner synergies to deploy, operate, and maintain the system. FirstNet can be now deployed quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively. 36:10 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): Dr. Darsey mentioned that the Mississsippi wireless communications commission has expressed concerns about FirstNet’s commitment to hardening the network. You mentioned this in your testimony, the need for FirstNet infrastructure to be hardened. Can you discuss why that’s important, and is it more important in the rural areas, and also, in your experience, how do broadband needs differ between urban and rural communities with respect to providing emergency medical services? Dr. Damon Darsey: Sure. Thanks for the question. I’ll give you an example. Couple years ago we had a tornado, as you well remember, that took out a hospital in the northeast part of our state. And the medical center has got a pretty robust program to respond to that, and we did. The challenge in that was it took out a couple of commercial towers, but it did not, after a fairly close hit, take out one of our hardened public-safety communication towers. What that did for us is we lost all ability to communicate data out of that area, which was vital in moving and evacuating the hospital, nursing home, and recovering the people that were there. That’s the piece that is the concern that I think we share, all of us here, of how do we make that as hardened as possible. In terms of rural and urban, from a medical perspective we can do a lot more, as our team is showing in Mississippi and other states, if we know about the patient well before they get close to a hospital. If we can reach out and touch the stroke patient in the middle of the Mississippi Delta, we can dramatically increase their chances of survival and meaningful use after arrival to the hospital. Currently, we’re doing that over radio, and it’s working really well, but now imagine that in the rural areas. In urban areas, it’s vital in the medical world, but here we’re five minutes from multiple hospitals. Now take that as a 45 or 50 minutes away, and what we can do with broadband data in that time is truly life saving and saving of healthcare dollars. There’s a nexus here that FirstNet can combine both of those. 41:00 Michael Poth: Numerous bids were in, and they were analyzed with a great level of detail, and through that process that the Department of Interior assisted us with as the acquisition experts, AT&T came out as the prevailing solution and prevailing company provider. Sen. Bill Nelson (FL): The question is why. Poth: Well, the value that they’re bringing with their existing infrastructure, their ability and size, their financial sustainability to be able to take on something of this nature, and their lowest-risk approach to implementing this in the shortest time was truly some of the value propositions that made them more competitive than some of the other bids that were analyzed. 42:13 Chris Sambar: The initial RFP that FirstNet released contemplated building out a public-safety broadband network using just band class 14, and we responded accordingly. But through discussions, we decided we would extend it beyond just the band class 14, which is the spectrum that was allocated for first responders in 2012. We said we would open up all of the spectrum bands within AT&T. So, essentially, what that means is the day that a state opts in, they have immediate access to AT&T’s entire network, all spectrum bands, and they will see the benefits of FirstNet on all spectrum bands, all wireless towers, from AT&T that are LTE enabled. So I think that’s a tremendous benefit that FirstNet was not expecting when they contemplated the original RFP. But when we brought that, I think they were very pleased with that, and that helped us. Sen. Bill Nelson (FL): So, you’re going to have a level playing field for all device manufacturers. Sambar: Absolutely, sir. 43:15 Sen. Bill Nelson (FL): There must have been some folks in Virginia that suggested that you opt out of the network and chart your own path. Tell me the benefits to Virginia’s first responders of the governor’s decision to opt in. Curtis Brown: Thank you, Senator. The decision to opt in was really based on looking at the benefits that comes with opt in, the immediate priority and preemption services that would come for those who are subscribers to the network. And a major thing, Senator, is to the fact that it comes at no cost to the Commonwealth. We have been disproportionately impacted by sequestration and other aspects—the governor had to close a 300-million-dollar budget deficit—and so looking at the cost it would take to build a network and sustain it, it just was not feasible. 47:45 Chris Sambar: We initially envisioned, when we launched the State Plan portal on June 19, that we would have roughly 50 user IDs and passwords per state. That would be 50 individuals who would access the portal. We immediately got feedback that states wanted more, and we are offering more. So, we have a state right now, as a matter of fact, 227 login and user IDs have been issued. So, it shouldn’t be an issue for a state if they have additional people. The only requirements we have, Senator, is that, as Mr. Poth said, that it’s an official email address, somebody in the state who works for the state— Unknown Senator: Right. Sambar: —or an authorized consultant. Either of those is fine. We just don’t want, like, a @gmail, @hotmail, someone that we don’t know who they are. Unknown Senator: Right, okay. 53:14 Michael Poth: How do the states hold us accountable? As FirstNet shifts gears from developing a proposal and making an award, for the next 25 years we are going to be in a position to work with the states, continuous and public safety in all of those states, to make sure that all of their expectations, both from the State Plans and in the future, are being met and translated. If appropriate, we back into contractual actionable items. Or if AT&T, for example, is not meeting the requirements or the expectations, FirstNet will, on behalf of public safety and those states, enforce the terms of the contract. 54:55 Michael Poth: Canada is using the same exact spectrum that we’ll be utilizing with AT&T, so there’s a lot of synergies. We’ve spent a great deal of time coordinating and comparing notes with Canada and the public-safety entities in that country as to what we’re doing so that there is the inoperability between the countries will also be realized. 1:08:50 Chris Sambar: So we have had a number of states as well as federal agencies we’ve been in communication with, and some of the states have been very direct that they’re interested us putting our LTE equipment on state-, city-, municipal-owned assets. That would give them the benefit of revenue from AT&T through a lease agreement. It would also give us a benefit of being able to build out the network faster. 1:24:20 Michael Poth: AT&T’s already been doing this, as mentioned, for years with their fleet of 700 deployables. Now with the 72 dedicated, which are much smaller units which is going to give us the ability to maybe get those into areas that are a little tougher to get to, we’re very excited about that. That is an absolute addition to the solution that we’re going to be able to bring to public safety quickly. 1:25:50 Chris Sambar: So, we will be building out band class 14 over the coming five years across a significant portion of our network. In the meantime, before band class 14 is built out, we will be using our commercial network. There are requirements in the contract with FirstNet over how quickly we need to build out band class 14, and we have to hit those milestones in order to receive the payments due to us from FirstNet. If we don’t hit those milestones, we don’t receive the payments, so we will be aggressively building out band class 14 for first responders. Again, in the meantime, they will have access to all of AT&T’s bands. So to say it simply, if you are a first responder, Senator, you will not know whether you’re on band class 14 or any other AT&T band, but you will have the exact same experience regardless of what band you are on on AT&T network. Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): Your position isn’t the service that’s provided, and the consumer and the public-safety user, to them it will be immaterial where it’s coming from. Sambar: The way I like to say— Exactly. The way I say it is this: public safety has been told for many years that the magic of FirstNet happens on band class 14, and we’ve changed that. That’s not correct anymore. The magic happens on the AT&T network period, and it doesn’t matter where you are, you’re going to have the exact same experience. So we’ve extended it far beyond the band class 14 to our entire network. Wicker: Will you build out the class 14 spectrum only where it is economically viable, or will you build it out where there is written requirement in the arrangement between you and FirstNet? Sambar: We are building band class 14 where we need the capacity in our network. So in order to provide priority and preemptive services to first responders and have enough capacity for everyone that’s on the network, including the first responders, there are places where we will need additional capacity; that’s where we’re building— Wicker: And you will determine that need. Sambar: AT&T, based on capacity triggers—obviously, we’ve been doing this for a long time—based on capacity triggers that we see in the network, we build out band class 14 as additional capacity on individual—and this is done on a tower-by-tower basis. 1:28:00 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): Are you able to say what approximate percentage of the lower 48 landmass will be covered by band class 14 build out? Chris Sambar: Unfortunately, I am not, Senator. That’s proprietary between FirstNet and AT&T. I would say, again, it’s a significant portion, though. Wicker: Can you be more specific than “significant”? Sambar: That would be proprietary, Senator. I apologize. Wicker: And what makes it proprietary? Sambar: The specific details of the contract between FirstNet and AT&T. There’s a number of specific details that are proprietary, Senator. Wicker: That is proprietary and not available to the public— Sambar: That’s correct, Senator. Wicker: —or to the Congress. Sambar: That’s correct, Senator. 1:29:35 Sen. Roger Wicker: Then in terms of this coverage, which you said really shouldn’t matter what band it’s coming over— Chris Sambar: Mm-hmm. Wicker: —are you able to say what percentage of the lower 48 landmass will be covered in one way or the other? Sambar: One way or the other? Wicker: Yes. Apart, of course, from the deployables. Sambar: So, 99.6% of the U.S. population will be covered by AT&T’s network. 1:39:05 Chris Sambar: The vast major—as we understand it, based on our research and FirstNet’s research—the vast majority of firefighters, for example, are not issued devices for their daily use at work, especially volunteer firefighters. Greater than 70% of police officers are in the same situation: they are not provided a device. They’re using their personal devices. We are going to make available the FirstNet network to all of those first responders, regardless of whether you’re a volunteer, whether your agency provides you a device, or whether you bring your own personal device. They will have access to the FirstNet network. Once we can verify their credentials and ensure that we have the right people on the network, they will have access to all of those features and benefits, and it will come at a significantly lower price than they’re paying today for their personal or commercial service. So it’s a tremendous benefit to all first responders. 1:39:55 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): On user fees, will they cost the same for all network users, or will they vary by regions, public-safety agencies, or states? Chris Sambar: It’s difficult to answer because there are different use cases, so it depends. If you’re a large department and you want unlimited data and you have a number of applications that you want preinstalled on the device and you have mobile-device management software, that would be one use case. There may be a rural department that wants to connect body cameras and dashboard video camera from a police department. It will depend on the use case. Wicker: So it’s use case and not regions and states. Sambar: That’s correct, sir. Wicker: That would be the variable. Sambar: That’s correct. Hearing: Public Safety Communications; House Committee Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, September 29, 2005. Witnesses: David Boyd: Homeland Security Dept SAFECOM Program Director Timothy Roemer: Member of the 9/11 Commission, Director of the Center for National Policy Art Botterell: Emergency Information Consultant Timestamps & Transcripts 30:44 David Boyd: Interoperability’s not a new issue. It was a problem in Washington, D.C. when the Air Florida flight crashed into the Potomac in 1982, in New York City when the Twin Towers were first attacked in 1993, in 1995 when the Murrah Building was destroyed in Oklahoma City, and in 1999 at Columbine. Too many public-safety personnel cannot communicate by radio, because their equipment is still incompatible, or the frequencies they are assigned to are different and they haven’t got bridging technologies available. They operate on 10 different frequency bands, and they run communication systems that are often proprietary and too often 30 or more years old. Over 90% of the nation’s public-safety wireless infrastructure is financed, owned, operated, and maintained by the more than 60,000 individual local jurisdictions—police, fire, and emergency services—that serve the public. 1:43:00 Timothy Roemer: Let me give you a couple examples of what the 9/11 Commission found as to some of these problems. We found all kinds of compelling instances of bravery and courage, people going into burning buildings and rescuing people. They might have rescued more. We might have saved more of the fire department chiefs, officers, police officers, emergency personnel, if they would have had public-radio spectrum to better communicate. At 9:59 in the morning on 9/11 four years ago, a general evacuation order was given to firefighters in the North Tower. The South Tower had collapsed. A place that held up to 25,000 people had been diminished to cement, steel, and ash. The people, then, in the North Tower, many of the chiefs in the lobby, didn’t even know that the other tower had collapsed, or else they might have been able to get more people out more quickly. We had comments from people saying such things as, we didn’t know it had collapsed. Somebody actually said, Mr. Chairman, that people watching TV had more information than we did in the lobby on 9/11 in the North Tower. People on TV in Florida or California knew more than our first responders on site in New York City. 1:45:10 Timothy Roemer: Mr. Chairman, then we had a disaster happen in the southern part of our country in New Orleans where we had other communication problems. In New Orleans, there’re three neighboring parishes were using different equipment on different frequencies. They couldn’t communicate. We had National Guard in Mississippi communicating by human courier, not by radio frequencies; and we had helicopters up in the air looking at our own citizens on the roofs of their homes in New Orleans, screaming and yelling for help, but they couldn’t talk in the helicopters with the boats in the water to try to find out who was rescued, who wasn’t, and who needed help. 1:55:45 Art Botterell: Third, we can no longer afford to rely on vendor-driven design of our emergency-communications infrastructure. Businesses are responsible for maximizing shareholder value, not for protecting the public welfare. We need independent sources of information and planning for our future emergency infrastructure lest we continue to get updated versions of the same old thing.
