it should not happen. we do not want it to happen. yes, i was. the 49ers will talk about thiat this afternoon, about plans to increase cell phone use of the park. i was concerned for the fans. public safety is our number one concern. the police department, fire department, recreation and parks, alongside the 49ers security, they all acted well. everyone was safe. then the communications with pg&e engineers were occurring all night long into the early hours. we started this morning to make sure everyone was working together. my apologies to the nfl and 49ers. i know they joked about it and took in good spirits and were prepared to go forward. that is what professional athletes do. that is what the business of football is. we will make sure this does not happen again. i assure you we will be on top of this to make sure it does not happen. i am sorry. >> [inaudible] >> this has to do with cell phones. some fans the return to communicate inside and al felt challenges. i had challenges of my own when i was at the stadium trying to get out. that is wha

if things happen within your district. so i'd just like to say that for us we think it's something that is obviously changing. i think we can always do more, but i think we have a good, strong groundwork to continue to work forward. at least we are talking to each other all year long so it's not like we are meeting for the first time after a disaster. thank you. [applause] >> thanks, kevin. our last speaker is charles eddy who has more than 25 years of public agencies and consulting experience in planning and redevelopment at u.c. santa cruz and the cities of santa cruz and watsonville. i very much admire charlie's extensive experience in land use planning and development. after the loma prieta earthquake, charlie was a project manager of the santa cruz downtown recovery plan and he also played a key role in helping watsonville in addressing recovery issues. he's lectured and consulted internationally. most recently in new zealand after the earthquake and written extensively about planning and disaster management. charlie

silent lunch happens, we get no notification. we have no way of finding out why is our son or why did our son spend the lunch in silent lunch. >> [speaking in spanish] >> so as it has been mentioned, kids are not allowed to go to the bathroom. my daughter got her period and she got herself stained and she had to remain like that because she was not allowed to go. >> [speaking in spanish] >> i have no problem with anybody in particular. the issue that they do not notify the parents of what is going on at the school and i am working and there is no way for me to find out what is going on with my children. >> [speaking in spanish] >> in previous years, we had people calling us at home and telling us what was going on, but this year that is not happening. president mendoza: thank you. so as we transition, so i'm closing out anyone else speaking on behalf of paul revere because you're not, you didn't respond, i'm going to excuse our two student delegates so that they can go home and study for their finals and i have a couple of other

-where is that small "j" journalism happening? >> i think what's starting to happen, and it's very robust right now, is that we see both professionals and amateur journalists, so-called citizen journalists, starting to fill in the gaps of that coverage and starting to create community news sites, hyper local news sites, investigative news sites, niche newsites that have a lot of journalistic dna. it might not do journalism the way i was taught in journalism school, but it's also not irresponsible either. >> well, there's a lot of things happening online that are fun and fast and new, and i want to go over to our touch screen really fast to show you one of those sites is newser.com. they're an aggregator with brains, and they want you to read less but know more. how do they accomplish that? well, through their grid, they can highlight the stories that are happening online and in newspapers right now. they take those stories and compress them into two-paragraph summaries. their founder, michael wolff, also writes a column on line in

a lot of trauma happens in the churches. or it goes to the silence within families about traumatic experiences as a family. correct, dr. harris? you know, i think a lot of families keep trauma a secret. this may be true in the african american community but, honestly, i see this across the board. this is the dirty little secret that nobody wants to talk about in public. i think that's the key issue. in fact, we do have a faith-based program at samhsa. the objective is to educate members of the faith community about a wide range of issues-mental health issues, substance abuse issues, and trauma- because we find that the ministers, the rabbis, the imams, the religious leaders do want to know because they're unable to have a positive impact if they're not aware of some of these issues. we don't ask people to change their philosophical or theological beliefs. we do want them to be familiar with some of the negative consequences that do result from physical abuse, sexual abuse, a violation of trust that happens in households, as

-- rape happens. that was the first day. there was the thought of, this is either want to break everybody or if it is going to do the opposite. it is going to drop lesson to be remedied. -- the reality. some people it was their first, the woman who is raped had never met before. but what happened was as soon as i called pat after he had to do this violent act to her, all of the man had to grit their clothing, he picked her up and he dusted her off and all of the soldiers picked up the clothes for the women and said they were sorry. by lunchtime, people were holding onto each other and taking care of each other. i saw two girls holding hands. it remained that way through the chute. there was some much brutality that it brought out so much kindness and love between the people who suffered it to themselves. one of our actress lost 28 family members. everybody was affected. everybody became a family. there were some hard days. this scene where she is going through sniper alley, how do i director? i had to

people tell me you know what would have happened if hitler was not stopped. well what would have happened if there would have been enough conscience objectors in the nazi army that would have been a war that would have been a hitler. there would have been no holocaust were if you believe that there never can be enough people were conscious objectors of step a monster like hitler then it's never going to happen first you have to dream it and then you have to live your dream and make it happen for you to tell me that you know i suppose that there are going to be that many consciences objectors you know that just tells me that you know that just gives you more energy to say it is possible you weak we can have that many conscience objects we have to believe that if we don't believe that and for we don't have that dream and if we don't live up to the dream and how are we how are we going to survive as a human race if we continue to embrace war as a solution in some cases and we continue to think that there can never be enough conscience objectors to stop an army.

their position throughout this entire time is that will never happen. part of a happen with a financial crisis, 2008 and beyond, the federal government actually had to take over fannie mae and freddie mac at the cost of two or $300 billion to the federal budget. and this was clearly a case where i think cbo had it right, not that this would inevitably happen, but that there were particular things that the congress should do in legislation in order to protect the federal government against the potential for something like this could happen. >> philip joyce, the last couple of years, much of the process is broken in congress. a lot of continuing resolution. what's been cbo's role, if any, in that whole process? >> i think cbo's role is really just to support the process in a one thing, i always, i was a little uncomfortable talking about the success of the cbo because i'm talking about the success of enormous fish in the middle of a process which no one would say is successful. and i think part of that is just the limit of what any organization whose job

that is what happened to dodd-frank. all these great ideas that came out in the beginning and by the time the lobbyists got done there was literally nothing left at all. it gotten eaten away in last-minute discussions and that is a classic example of how the public doesn't really see how real work gets done. all those things you saw on c-span and arguments on the floor of the house and it disappeared in the middle of the night in those committee discussions which is really sad. >> we had a point in time where they did pass. it is again very fast for now but when they did pass in 1933 they did create a somewhat more stable banking system/economic environment. so again the solutions exist. problem is getting them to happen. [inaudible] >> before that we had one other thing to talk about. thank you to the 10 that museum. we are grateful for going oprah winfrey but one person under their seats has two person membership for that. [applause] >> thank you so much. for such a spirited -- and great questions. spirited discussion.

when it is happening. when it really counts. when it comes to all of that it has been a very busy year for us. a busy year for the world. a year that mattered to millions. people who felt the earth torn apart and saw their world washed away, their faith in science rocked by a nuclear catastrophe. millions rose up against dictators. they watched friends and neighbors die in streets and tasted freedom. you'll experience all of that in the hour ahead through the eyes and minds of my colleagues and friends, where it happened right from the start. january 2011, the rumblings of an uprising in cairo. crowds begin to gather in tahrir square. a revolution has begun. what is your message to president mubarak? >> he should leave tonight. >> mubarak has been egypt's dictator for years. and the growing crowd of protesters want him out. mubarak digs in and the once peaceful protest turns violent. >> this is an unmistakable show of military force. fighter jets flying low over cairo's tahrir square, liberation square, a

nothing that happens in the city, nothing that happens in the country happens because somebody wakes up one day and makes it happen. it happens because every day people organize and push for it to happen. this commission exists because of organizing of people. and like they have said, it is important for us as commissions, and i myself commit to going out in the community and really talking about it. a symposium doesn't happen in a room like this. real change happens when we go out and talk to people. a lot of people can speak with their own voice around their own issue. i am committed to them, and as a commission i hope we can work to make that happen. this is a beginning, and i have gotten a lot of good information. to have representatives from congressional offices here is important. i want to say thank you to every one of you, and i want to recognize the san francisco immigrant rights movement for their work. thank you very much. >> thank you, commissioners. i want to rhyme my commissioners -- want ll, who has scared me to death. after we hear all this, and he sounds like the pro

it has to happen. [inaudible question] >> basically you have to measure the bridge at night because the sun strikes the cable and heats up only part of it, and you dope get an accurate reading. >> you mentioned the cable is holding the sections together somehow? >> the cable is anchored down into the eastern side. it comes up and laps around the western side, and the entire cable system, the suspenders that come off of it, they are in tension. there are 28 different deck segments. they are in what is called compression. those two forces are balancing each other out on this bridge, and the weight is transmitting down the towers. >> holding itself up. >> a traditional suspension bridge, the cable anchors into the ground. this connects into the deck and holds itself up. >> so that time you would describe as a normal person? >> that is a basic description. self-anchored, what does that mean? >> it is a new type of design. there are 30-40 of them around the world. this is going to be the largest one. basica

most of them never to happen. the chief thing we did in the fall of 2001 during the leadership of george w. bush, was that the government got congress to give them -- we better get the president a great deal of power because what if there is a terrorist that we could find this way and we could not find a different way? we have to do more surveillance, more opportunities for criminal law enforcement and prosecution. we better have more security screenings. but president bush said u.s., we do not intend to use these dragnets against people who are not terrorists. we have material support laws. it allows the prosecution of red cross to giving humanitarian aid to terrorists. is president obama going to prosecute the red cross? i do not think so. from his position now, it seems like the problem is not as bad because he says he can be adjusted. the attorney general can be trusted to do the right thing. the very existence of these large dragnets is a problem. tavis: let me take it a step further. the book talks about the

again. >> the same thing happened on 65th. the same thing happened. >> he is talking about three-year-oldcarlito nava who was shot and killed in august. >> kids, innocent kids who didn't doingthing. they don't even know what is happening in life. >> an oakland officer is here with us to tell us who they are searching for and the vehicle description. >> sure, you are welcome. about 8:30 we received multiple phone calls about a shooting that happened. we did have a five-year-old male hispanic little boy who was the victim of gunshot. he has been pronounced deceased, and we are looking for an african-american male in his 30s. we do have reports that he has a goatee. i know that isn't a real full description, but he is in company with a female. and right now the investigators have responded to the scene and are actively putting the information together and following up on leads. >> i know a lot of people in this neighborhood are disturbed, especially since nava in august -- i mean, how can we turn this community around? anything?

what's happening? >> can you imagine you go in for surgery and afterwards you're feeling a little bit of pain, you get a fever? what's going on? the doctor left something this size of you, a piece of gauze this size in you. well, this does happen. you don't always hear about it but it happens. in california, the state looked at records and actually hospitals reported things that had gone wrong. so at 14 hospitals things had happened and they had fines ranging from, like, $25,000 to $100,000. let's take a look at some of the types of things they were fine for. objects left inside patients. there were seven examples of this at these hospitals. medication mistakes, for example, someone was supposed to get 20 milligrams of morphine. wrong surgery, patient was operated on the left eye instead of right. baby snatched. a baby was taken by somebody posing as a nurse. these are errors occurring between 2008 and relatively the present. >> i had acl reconstruction surgery and i remember waking up and seeing a "no

year i can remember a year or so many things happen at such a major scale and all of the events that were just mentioned i report we could put a whole program but mark if i can ask you what is the defining moment of two thousand and eleven for you i know you're an expert on. politics in the in the arab world in general so what would be your defining moment. well for me and i think this is a very personal moment for me was being in tahrir square on february eleventh when mubarak left when he when he was forced from power that probably was the most powerful moment i've experienced in my life other than the birth of my children. it was there was a release of hope and you know possibility in that moment unlike anything i've ever experienced and i think it capped off what started a month earlier a month and a half earlier in december in tunisia and really heralded because of the size of egypt heralded this wave of revolutions that then moved across the arab world and eventually landed on wall street with the birth of occupy wall street and is continuing continuing to reverberate around th

what happened? they will never see me the same again. >> reporter: it's a killing that would pit brother against brother, the final blow to a family ravaged by rage. >> i think it's sad. i think it's really sad. >> reporter: a bizarre trial that had jurors and lawyers shaking their heads. >> the whole situation was so wild. >> reporter: what will you believe? who will you believe? in this hour, "unlocking the past." >> 911. police or fire? >> murder. >> okay. what happened? >> i think my mom shot my dad. >> this is unlike any other case that's ever been tried in the universe. it's bizarre. >> reporter: bizarre? oh, yes, it certainly is. in ways this prosecutor is going to tell you. soon enough. but first, the strange story as told by a defendant quite unlike any other. >> i don't think anything in a person's life prepares them for a jail experience. it's awful. >> reporter: her name is susan polk. she is within the curious celebrity world of the famously accused among the most articulate, elegant, a

i knew abilene and minnie and rarely does that happen. i always say there are certain adjectives they say for black women, dignified, soulful, sassy, wise. >> charlie: why do they choose those adjectives? >> i don't know, that's probably a better question for them but i just felt a -- i feel a general sense that people -- that there's a fear and not necessarily from a caucasian people but this is a three-hour conversation but that there is only certain things that we can be that there is not complexity to us and i think that's probably why even kathleen stockett wrote the book finding out of what her goal was 9-11 her made dimitri. she hadn't been in contact with her for years and this book was a way of discovering her and a find that's a great metaphor for when i see people of color on screen. there's a sense that you never get to know them beyond the surface and for me, once again, this was a what's to do that when i saw the book and wanted to option it and wanted to be the producer a executive producer. >> charlie: is there anybody at

what happened. the obama administration they promised to look into it but really nothing substantial has come from kind of come to fruition why is it that there that any attempt to investigate this seems to come to a dead ends. well i've been asking about this i mean for instance i know that there were congressional investigators were following physicians for human rights and a great job following up on that i've been told that there was a u.s. government investigation but i just see no evidence of the investigation or of any outcome from it and the big question is the one you you raise with with president obama and so about a different instruction for an investigation why is there no report. and do you think that there is sufficient evidence to prove that a crime was in fact committed i think there's absolutely no question about the fact the the evidence tree stand is when you talk about people who are prisoners were being held in the custody of a military force there are certain presumptions that

their position through this is that will never happen, and a part of what happened with the financial crisis in 2008 and beyond the federal government actually had to take over fi in the may and freddie mac the cost of 200 or $300 billion the this was a case where cbo had a right not that this would inevitably happen but that there were particular things that congress should do in legislation in the order to protect the federal government against the potential that something like this would happen. >> the federal budget process is broken down in congress and you haven't pressed the appropriations to read a lot of continuing resolutions. what has been the role if any in that process? >> i think that the rule is to support the process. one thing i was uncomfortable talking about the success of the cbo because it is in the middle of a process no one would say is successful and i think part of that is just the limit of what any organization who is to provide information can do so with the cbo has been doing in this process is what the cbo always does after they consider legislation and pr

what happens in cairo and damascus will decide what happens to jerusalem too. that's part of one of the great themes of my book. >> rose: explain. >> jerusalem always reflects the world around it. jerusalem is not just like a lens which you can look through but it's like a distorted mirror and throughout its history, 80, crusaders left europe to conquer jerusalem to find a jerusalem they could believe in. and jerusalem ways reflects the greater world, europe, america, russia and that's one of the great themes of the book and, of course, more and more believers now are look fog jerusalem. more fundamentalist chris lams, choo jews and muslims. >> rose: for? >> the second coming. the apocalypse. and all of this will happen? jerusalem. so whatever happens in the arab spring, whatever happens with the palestinian bid for statehood at the u.n. the one thing you can say for certain is it will end in jerusalem. up? and you first started going there when you were a kid? >> i started going there when i waa kid because of the montefiore background. i started going there b
