i was--not raised on the weavers, but when i came into music, i was musically raised by the weavers. they were the first person who struck me as a force. they eventually became the form from which i wanted to be-- the kind of band i wanted to be in. and when we started our band, this was the template that, unconsciously, anyway, i said, "well"--marty asked me the first night he met me-- he said, "you want to start a band?" i said, "yeah, we could do that. but there has to be a woman in it." 'cause i had always been swept away by the work of ronnie gilbert, the woman singer in the weavers. and we just went uphill from there. the weavers had a great combination of both hedonism on the lee hays side all the way through the social responsibility and the powerful singing and into the total aesthetic, almost amish approach of pete seeger to life. so i was talking to ronnie about it once before, and i said, "it looks to me that your band, like our band, "all combined together to make "one sort of complete human being, you know, with all their faults and all their vices and virtues." they co

i work with--in this work that i'm doing now, preaching to the perverted, i worked with lois weaver as a director and a collaborator. and so some of the money would go to pay her a fee. and then i often produce myself, so, you know, at performance base 122, you know, you hire the lighting designer, you rent the rehearsal space, the various props. so it doesn't completely pay for the project, but it helps pay for some of the costs of making a piece of art. even if it seems very simple and low-tech, like my work is, because i want it to be accessible, there's still other people involved. and i feel like artist aren't air-breathing plants, that we should get paid for working. but, as you point out, even if it's $6,000 to $8,000, which is not a great amount of money, it might be a make or break for you in some cases or for some artists, wouldn't it? absolutely. i mean, i think that a lot of the artists, particularly in the field that i work in--performance art, which is kind of the garage band arena of theater-- a lot of the people are coming from communities that are already disadvantaged

weaver fortunate that our her grandparents were able to get to our parents the possibility of education. in fact, my grandfather who would have been your grand uncle is a particularly interesting case. his name was john wesley rice, senior, and he was a sharecropper's son but they worked other land in utah, that is -- he decided he wanted to get book learning in college so he asked people coming for what colored man could get educated and they told him about a college in tuscaloosa. so he saved us and went to college. his first year went great and after the first year they said how are you going to pay for your second year and he's about as cotton and he said well you were out of luck. hauer those boys coming to college? he said you see they want to be presbyterian ministers, so they have work called a scholarship and my grandfather said you know, that's exactly what i wanted to become a too. that's exactly what i had in mind. [laughter] and my family had been presbyterian and college-educated ever since. [laughter] they were very industrious people but also ingenious to finding ways to

. >> this is a golden or weaver. just tuck your hand and get behind her. >> reporter: why is she making web right now? >> because she wants to make sure if she falls she's catching herself. >> reporter: so she's constantly sending out that drag line? >> wherever they move they leave that drag line behind. that's where it got its name. >> reporter: randy has been fascinated by the amazing properties of drag line silk for two two years. he knows all too well the difficulty of extracting silk from spieders so he thought of a way of mass producing the stuff in hopes of revolutionizing the world of strong materials. wyoming is ranch country, so when randy began to consider how to solve the problem, his thoughts turned to livestock. he figured maybe he could combine a little old-fashioned animal husbandry with the emerging science of genetic engineering. now, thanks to randy, these goats have just a little bit of spider in them. ... these goats have just a little bit of spider in them. the transjenic, that's the word for w

economic implications of things and this is something i don't think it is controversial because from max weaver and the protestant capitalist or get sick this is something every social studies has been taught to believe there is something about protestants that is what to capitalism in europe compared to the catholic church and the was brought to the u.s. and these sorts of values lead to more economic growth or the believe in -- there's a connection between capitalism. but of course now capitalism has really become on bottled and uncorked. countries like brazil and countries like india, countries with no official relations at china seemed to be embracing that. but what do we -- what do we know about the price of faith, the price that sort of extracts or adds to economic growth? >> guest: my basic argument here again is that choosing to belong to a faith has the call the qualities of an economic transaction as well so we believe that we think that we believe in a superior broad because he preexists, but in fact many of the reasons we join a religion is because the benefits we derive from joinin

they didn't get that weaver. they were up against ross perot's former company, the whole issue of well, they are not really a texas company. they just shut down a factory outside of boston, so they tried to use the same methodology that they would use to get say a fighter plane contract, but in this kind of local politics they were a little bit lost, they couldn't get it done. but they were doing job training in florida, checking out deadbeat dads in connecticut, earning similar projects in california, all of which ran into some significant problems crunching data that wasn't coming out right. connecticut they were sending checks that were not supposed to be going. so, the question now is going to be if they are running aspects of processing taxes, if the design at the census come if they are involved in the transportation security, where aren't they? is inappropriate for the same company to be doing these functions? >> host: and there is the question of the confidence is this the same company the brought a fight

weavers on to 70,000 disasters every single year.. this has to be worked out with major disasters in the u.s. as well let the floods in tennessee or the tornadoes that hit the south and the midwest for the wildfires in colorado. we are also there to respond to tens of thousands of single-family house buyers that have been each and every year and probably don't even make the evening news. these seemingly quote unquote small disasters seem small, but if your family has impacted, there at the apportions and we are always there to provide shelter, food. were there to provide comfort and hope. in addition to disaster response, we provide nearly half of the nation's blood supply. in every single one of those 10 million units were donated by a generous and selfless person who really wanted to save lives. we also work with members of the military, veterans and their families by providing support in $500 in emergency communications every single year and that could range from delivering the news of the tragedy at home or to the video connectio

as a result of that, the chamber of commerce, the weaver organization said in the what's wrong with that? are they out of their mind? we had stopped the construction company down today. this is irresponsible to violate a law that created a trust fund for the american people to say we're just going to ignore that. the same is ignoring cbo scores.

and so if weaver living our lives in part on facebook, that's where the stalkers go.ters, did cell phones cause dating violence? and i try not to laugh. because, no the, we had dating violence when i was in high school with no cell phones, and facebook did not start stalking, you know? i know that's a news flash for all of you, but stalking has occurred for millennium, and what we're finding is stalkers go wherever we are. they follow the victim, and that's where they perpetrate harassment, threats, anything to cause fear, cause us to be afraid. what we're seeing this terms of prevalence is it's difficult to document. the first national stats that we had looking at the intersection of stalking and technology was from data that was collected in 2006 and came out, and the stalking study just a couple of years ago. and so it's four years old. and we know that technology has changed drastically. the other piece about that data is you can only report to a surveyor that stalking was misused if you know it was misused. so for spyware, which many stalkers put on a victim's co
