you might meet her and marry her again. i mean, jeez. ( laughter ) or you might not propose the next time. - scary. - no, i think the most science-fictiony but conceivable possibility is i don't think that we're that far removed now, as the science progresses, from looking at compounds that are genuine cognitive enhancers-- not drugs that keep you up longer, not drugs that let you study longer, not drugs that simply remember all. but compounds that will literally make it possible for you to do things that human beings cannot normally cognitively do. we can define the limits of a thought that you can hold right now. i can say you can have this complex a thought and that's the limit. that's as much as you're gonna do. suppose we thought of drugs that would let you have a larger thought, a more complex thought, a richer thought. but there's a bigger problem with cognitive manipulation, and that is that remembering and forgetting are not just cognitive faculties. they're moral faculties. remembering is bound up with justice. forg

christian garcia: i guess we have some formal or informal way to move them behind, and i might be the only one who feels that way. vice president goh: i think i am with president peterson, the volunteer interpreter, the family with kids, you know -- commissioner garcia: we have the right to do that. i am not saying we do not do that. i am just talking about why we are hearing jurisdictional items when we have people sitting here. it does not make any sense. i am just saying, as a board, that we reconsider that addenda items always be first. president fung: if you put it at the board's decision, then we have to take it to a vote. i think at the president's discretion. commissioner garcia: so we are not changing in then? >> and then say "at the president's discretion." but i would want some guidance, i think, on a week to week basis, unless the president wants to consult with me every time about which items should go first. i think it is more efficient for the president's time if there is more guidance. commissioner garcia: i am just saying, for instance, tonight, we had carl short. tha

i might make the team if i were fast enough in the ring. the other person hit me very hard and i went down and the pain went in one ear down my back, down the back of my legs, over to the other side of my body, and i'm still feeling that pain today, so no, i never became a boxer, but i had a lot of admiration for somebody who had a life as fascinating outside of the ring as they did inside the ring, and while this book is a book about a fighter, sugar ray robinson, it is much more. it's what i like to think, it's about the sweet fly paper of life. sugar ray robinson had three dear friends in harlem, lank stone hughs and miles davis, and a lot of the book is about the wonderful cultural swirl that sugar ray robinson made happen. a lot of the nightclubs in new york city in the 30s and 40s as you know were segregated, and so sugar ray robinson took it upon himself with the earnings from the ring to build a nightclub that was called sugar ray's. it was very elegant and folks could come, all races, all youths, and they could come and sit down an

i might leave parkmerced and travel. i come right back because i left my heart in parkmerced and needed to be back.

i might leave parkmerced and travel. i come right back because i left my heart in parkmerced and needed to be back. [applause] i have heard a lot of good points to tonight. i can reiterate a lot of those. i probably will right now. some of those are the fact that there is already a lot of crime in parkmerced. you pick up the phone and call security. what do you get? you get an answering machine. you definitely do not get a person. you do not get the help they need. you are paying higher rent, whether it is rent-controlled or not. this is hard earned money that we have paid month after month, year after year. that is a lot of money. what we getting out of that? what am i getting out of that now? now you want to displease me. now you want me to have to experience a level of high discomfort because developers want to make money? this is about green. but this is not about the green where we're talking about the earth. we're talking about grain as far as money in the pockets -- green as far as money in the pockets. this affect

i named them. they are in prison without a proper trial. they might be ill and need to be released. i know this is contrary to your nation's constitution and commitments. and i would like to have a report from you on a personal basis about what can be done to ease alleviate their suffering. and i just hope that this particular event doesn't have to go further to the public news from, and it is surprising how much the dictators will send me a letter back and say i've looked at this and people have been living in prison and stuff like that. so we still do that. and we have an annual meeting at the carter center. we called a meeting of the human rights defenders. people and about 40 nations to come to the carter center for human rights abuses take place in their country and they are heroes in their own country fighting against human rights abuses, and sometimes the dictators or the end users won't let them out of the country, won't give them a visa, but we meet with them and discuss their problems and then about seven or eight of them who are the most eloquent sit and around a table wit

if i had known completely what was happening and what had been in the future i might have done something different but i don't think so under the circumstances because that was the last holdout on my top management team in letting the sharnak come to new york infrequent of his terminal cancer. and henry kissinger and dr. brzezinski and all of my advisers let him come. it's a humanitarian thing to do, and so i contacted the president and the prime minister of iran, and i told them i was contemplating in having the shawl, free treatment, and i wanted an assurance from them that they would protect the americans over there and at that time there were about 8,000 americans in iran working in different forces including 66 members as the embassy staff and they sent me the word they would guarantee that nothing would happen to americans of the shah came to me were provided they would pledge not to make any sort of a political statement while he was in america and the shah did give me that assurance. and then, to the surprise of me and i think to the surprise of the president and prime minister o

. >> i might have a tangential issue. sometimes the way that we wind up? it is that certain people get much more time than others and that is not necessarily fair. maybe those are necessary. they did a lot of questions and therefore a lot more time. >> if i was an advocate, i would want that cut down. >> can we move on from that? i was wandering what they heard on the site visit. i remember going on the visit for them. we did was to take measurements. then the appellant and he had to hear those too late. he was not able to be prepared with his own expert. it seems like there is a trust issue. can you talk about that. >> some of those had bad results. >> they had a lovely funeral the next day. they have always respected the wishes of the property owners. [inaudible] as compared to the old days when it was hard to get a photo. >> i still think that they are useful and important. i remember another situation where i did a site visit for the building. i wanted to see this from the appellate property because i had the sense that this was about a few and not abo

out of it, i might consider it. the house republicans are going to have to --going to want to have a massive expulsion policy. host: we have someone on the republican line. caller: you make these kids sound like they are wonderful. i live in mesa, arizona. i have a couple of questions for you. host: we only have time for one question. caller: what are we going to do about this. everyone of these kids get to bring in 100 people. you keep saying we have a broken system. we have let more people in our country than the whole entire world does. guest: this aunt and uncle spain -- uncles thing -- there is not going to be massive immigration as a result of this bill. i wish it was part of a comprehensive solution to end immigration. your senators have blocked comprehensive immigration reform even though they were champions of it two years ago. do not talk to me. talk to them. where is their political leadership? if you think the policies in arizona are going to end illegal immigration, they will not. the idea that young pe

so i became, you might say, a good stenographer on my own. i'm not bragging about it. ere's nothing wrong with dictating letters. but i have to say when i was in the white house, a lot of people wrote messages, like my secretary of state would write a letter say to a foreign leader, and it would come to me and i would edit and approve it and assigned its final version. so i didn't can't write everything from the very beginning. for instance, when i wanted reagan and sought to come to camp david for negotiation, i can't wrote a letter to each and had them delivered to them so they would know it can from me, and maybe that is one of the reasons they both accepted the invitation. >> host: and you have had written letters to people around the world for people that are political prisoners, asking world leaders to release people. do you still keyed in on on that like amnesty international? >> guest: absolutely. the president has a strong human rights program, and i have a staff full time executors of the human rights called charon ryan, and she and the staff of the carter cen

let me just say i think some of you might remember the mayor's race of 2003. i know gavin does. it was quite a race. at the end, gavin and i agreed that our goal was to do everything we could for the homeless and four of our great city. as a consequence, the new mayor in january 2004, appointed an incredible committee of about 30 people to create the 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness. gavin said that i would not be able to do it by june. for six months, 30 incredible people -- and i mean in credible people -- from every walk of life -- the funding was to have the hotel industry, the chamber of commerce along with the activists from the tenderloin all get along from six months and actually come through with one of the most incredible plans to end chronic homelessness and poverty in the city and county of san francisco. on june 29, 2004, mayor gavin newsom announced the plan, and we are standing here today still with that plan. one of the things that came out of the new administration that i considered to be the most important program in the united states of america is proj

i might go ahead and do it especially for a time-limited period if the drug were well-tested and if she understood the risks, and i would monitor her frequently. sandel: i don't understand. there is no disease, - is that right? - that's right. she has no disease. well, the thing that worries me in this case, there's no medical need. the need arises, or the apparent need arises because of some pressure, apparently, to work a second job or pressures to fit into a certain kind of set of competitive pressures, whether it's kids in school, or taking a test, or working longer at the law firm. and those-- i think the danger is that if we start to use drugs to fit people more neatly and comfortably into the pressures created by competitive society, we're less likely to critically reflect on whether that's the way we want to organize our society in the first place. that's my worry. art caplan, is there a fundamental difference between granting a prescription for narcolepsy and granting a prescription for someone who, for good responsible reasons, wants to stay awake to help her family? i think t

so i could either try to delay or deter or defuse or walk away knowing that i might have been able too something and i didn't. so i wacked him with my purse and that's what you saw. >> and then you see in the video she was -- the gunman allowed her to leave. rebecca duke, the suspect's wife referred to mr. duke as a gentle giant, he was 56 and a father, mrs. duke says the economy and the world just got the better of him. police said the attack was not some spur of the moment idea. at his mobile home in the woods they have found december 14th circled on a calendar and police said he had at least 25 more rounds of ammunition in his pocket. shawn. >> thank you, laura. >>> a five star luxury resort is in one of the works for one of dc's fastest growing neighborhood but not everyone is happy. find out how much taxpayers will have to pitch into seal the deal. >>> i am specialist dire serving in germany, this is a happy holidays greetings to mary ann beck dire in buoy maryland. >> it is me, it is me, the ewliot and i want to let you know i miss and love you and i hope have you a happy holida

so now i might as well say what's really on my mind, and i want more of that, if possible.and i have one more question for you, one final question that may be the most unfair or challenging question i can ask you-- you've been in the right place at the right time. you have seen things coming when others around you didn't see it. you saw hip-hop early on. clearly, you saw the potential of rock and roll and hip-hop married together. you saw a new kind of comedy, and now you're on the cutting edge of poetry as well. what do you see in the next five to ten years? who will be the cultural leaders? and what's what's coming for art, rock and roll, and music? well, let me say this to you. if someone picks up a sitar tomorrow and plays the [...]-- i mean, really does his thing with that sitar, then everybody's gonna run off and play a sitar, and they're gonna say, "what a great phenomena that is. sitar is the hottest new instrument." but that someone-- you know, i'm not in touch with all of the millions of creative people there are, and the trends begin not-- you know, things that a

could write a prayer, appeared watch someone go deep within themselves and their own spiritual core, i might right i could write i am writing, to look at someone's face when the book came out and someone who haidinger been published before and turn to the back of the book where we have written every con agree gant who has written something see their name and hear sitting in the sanctuary, 100 people or more reading something they wrote is an extraordinary experience if you grow up in the jewish world and have a jewish education we are so used to hearing the voices of ancient profits but when you are sitting shoulder to shoulder in prayer next to someone who wrote something or parents or teachers wrote something your spiritual life isn't out of the sanctuary isn't in the past it is in the moment that is one of the gifts of this siddur. >> can you give us a sense in real life, the congregation, how now has this siddur, actually used in how is it handed out, opened in the pews, prayed from. >> it is my favorite one book to take with me any where these days. i have a trunk full of them because i

supervisor mirkarimi: i want to again thank iewd and port for the rest of the -- oewd and port. what are the highlights of this deal that is before us, and how might it contrasted the earlier deal? >> i will do my best to do this on the fly. the host city agreement provides that over the course of the next year, the city will take the lead on performing compliance with the california environmental quality act for purposes of studying the event and any environmental impact that might arise. there will be a lot of consultation of state and federal permitting agencies. at the end of that year, that document is appealable for the board of supervisors. the options will include hosting the event in san and cisco, hosting the event at some alternative location, those have been described as a no project alternative that would allow the city to not proceed. the second section provides a number of plans will be developed. subject to review by the authority. at the end of that period, both the authority and sfacoc would have right to terminate the agreement without harm. i will defer to jennifer to discuss sections 3 and 4 of the agreement related to securin

i might never do another one because i'm not a media artist per se but i have used the medium because it seemed to be the one that could allow me to convey the sounds and images here. memorials to me are different from artworks. they are artistic, but memorials have a function. >> it is a beautiful scupltural objective made with bronze and lined with red wood from water tanks in clear lake. that is the scupltural form that gives expression to maya's project. if you think about a cone or a bull horn, they are used to get the attention of the crowd, often to communicate an important message. this project has a very important message and it is about our earth and what we are losing and what we are missing and what we don't even know is gone. >> so, what is missing is starting with an idea of loss, but in a funny way the shape of this cone is, whether you want to call it like the r.c.a. victor dog, it is listen to the earth and what if we could create a portal that could look at the past, the present and the future? >> you can change what is then missing by changing the software, by chang
