prices are going up it is not a bad thing. markets are going down and that is linked to a world financial crisis from 2008 and who ever is in charge it could be a decade long work out. we are lucky there is not a demand. modest demands, sounds strange. >> having praised quenton for being a journalist. i knew milton freeman and he didn't like inflation at all. >> i have a feeling he didn't like stagflation either. it is an awful combination of high unemployment levels and quentin is right in the names that the numbers are not frighteningly high but there is an acceleration of prices and that is troubling. we are soing it. >> there was a report that came out in restaurants that are seeing increased salaries on their employee bases and pushing it on to consumer. >> that is demand. >> david, inflation it distorts the economy and that's how we got the housing bubble and it created employment and it came crashing sound. it is false employment and in the end of the day leaves us with a lower standard of living. >> this being my good f

exxon mobil got off to a bumpy start today-- shares were halted mid-morning after a bad trade tripped its circuit breaker. trading resumed shortly after with exxon shares rising over 5% to close at $71.58 a share. after the closing bell today, a lot of interest in nvidia. the reason-- strong second quarter profits for the graphics chip maker and an improved sales outlook for the current quarter. the stock ending the regular session up 9% at $13.41; in after-hours, it jumped 18%, trading near $16 a share. today's stock rally sent highflying treasury prices in reverse. the price on the ten-year treasury note was down sharply, with its yield rising to 2.34% that yield got as low as 2.14% yesterday. analysts at goldman sachs predict the yield on the ten year will get to 3% by the end of this year. another reason for the selloff in treasuries-- a disappointing government auction for 30-year bonds. and that's tonight's "market focus." >> susie: foreclosures filings dropped again last month, falling 4% to their lowest level since the end of 2007. arizona has struggled with a glut of foreclos

people give us a bad rap. we did a bad rap because they say we do not care.ot have any compassion, we do not care about our fellow man. the truth is, if you are truly the truth is, if you are truly

it's a bad deal but it's a done deal and it's time for us to move on. it's the basis on which we are going to proceed and we have to get on with it. we've got to go to thetable, do the best we can in a balanced, bipartisan way to kprcreate job reduce the deficit and take us into the future. just talking about how we got here and our points about this bill, don't get me started. >> let me get you started a little bit. was the president a bad negotiator? did he give away too much? >> i don't think so. >> why not? >> i think the president was great. but again, what is the point of talking about what is finished. on every -- anything that happens around here, any one of us could have done it better, right? we could have written it better, whatever its. but the fact is the president wanted a balanced bipartisan agreement -- >> but he didn't get a balance. there's no taxes in it. >> that's right. nobody knows that better than i, or perhaps some do, but i fully appreciate that. but again, this is about how we go to the next step. jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. we get

but it's a bad bill. i voted "no" after 250 something votes had already been registered so i knew that the bill was going to pass and, in fact, i said earlier if the bill needed my vote i would vote yes because i wasn't willing to try to make a point and at the same time drive the economy off into the abyss. but make no mistake, i don't know of a single democrat who voted for this bill who thought it was a good bill. not one single democrat. >> i know you said that the consequences of default would be catastrophic but it's interesting you say you would have voted for it if your vote was needed to make it pass. a critic could say well, then, that your vote is sort of about politics because you knew your vote didn't really matter so it was a safe vote to vote "no" on? >> no. it really wasn't about politics because i made that statement before the vote and i thought it was a bad bill. i talked about the fact that it was a bad bill. so the safest and easiest political vote was to vote yes. i mean, i stand in

the project would be a bad precedent for the neighborhood. this is not the case. many of the homes are those above the floor and storage and they did not accommodate the modern family. we need to keep the families in the city. we understand that the planning staff tells owners it is good public policy for them to judge any new addition. this sends a message to the whole neighborhood. i would like to transition from the letters and this covers what had to say. i was fortunate when i moved. ivory model that property from two flats to a single-family dwelling. fortunately, i did not change the footprint. it stayed the same. i have two children, our respective teenage sons have played together on soccer teams. it would not be possible for us to be in that house without the additional rooms and we certainly support this family doing the same with their property. we really appreciate the extra space. we don't believe that the extension here in any way impacts the neighborhood. >> thank you. next speaker. >> my wife and i live across the street and a little bit up the hi

what the people want to see, they want to see the fight. >> reporter: now some are saying this is a bad time for the president to be taking a little r & r, the republican national committee created this website where voters can send snarky online postcards mocking the president's vacation plans. >> while bashing any person that makes over $50,000 a year, he's going to head off to martha's vineyard, a place that i have never been to and i think most americans have never been to. >> reporter: administration officials are pushing back. >> there's no such thing as a presidential vacation. the presidency travels with you. >> reporter: it's not the first time the president has taken heat for taking a vacation. george w. bush just criticized at staying at his crawford ranch days after hurricane katrina hit. in 1995, president clinton took a poll about where he should vacation, and decided to go to jackson hole, wyoming instead of his usual spot, martha's vineyard. proof appearances are important, especially right now. >> there's going to be some images of him on the golf course and him at the

china is a bad player and china is our enemy. well, you don't like chin a.t respect they are able to take the shirt off our leaders back. but we should be doing the same thing. we should use our best and brightest and we don't do that. and i am telling you mike, right out on that street, right where we are sitting. i can give you 20 business people that are so tough and so smart, and they are not nice people but who cares. they are miserable and horrible human beings. >> mike: they will fit in government. po>> guest: they wouldn't fit in government unfortunately. you take china and you take china which everyone feels sorry for japan and they are not doing so bad with their cars over here. how many japanese people buy american cars? you think three of them. >> mike: not that many. >> guest: we could take our best and brightest business people and put them against anybody in the world. we have the best in the world and we don't use them. >> mike: you are not taking the treasury secretary job and i am pretty sure he will not ask you to be the ambassador to chin

greater frankfurt fell like this was a bad part of town. 1913 they did a major study with a documented the sons and a lot of the pictures in my book are from this photographic documentation, it just amazing. but a lot of people were likening slums to disease and so there was a lot of calls for cleaning of the neighborhood. to the 1950's when urban renewal is release of the nation, that's when frankfurt decided that crawfished bottom at that point referred to as the crop or the bottom was wiped out the of urban renewal and replaced with civic centers, hotels, the ymca, state government buildings, the state to our. applause of shops. you know, the vision was that this would be kind of a pedestrian mall that you could walk in shop and what not. we've are standing on the corner of the grounds of the old state capitol in frankfurt. right across the street from the old state capital is really where "crawfish bottom" began, which is interesting that you have the state legislature right across the streets from what was considered the bad part of town. it was considered the neglected part of to

to that is why i believe that i have no foes i have friends my dream is to make everybody who has a bad opinion of me learned that kind of person i really have it and it was not well look i don't understand are you really. here. very good person it all goes back a bit i try to be impartial if i do something wrong i apologize and i don't feel shy about it if a person lies but i can tell him he's lying i lived this life with the awareness that it may ended any moment but what matters most is reputation and dignity to save human famous skit on my skin so let's. thank you for. this. takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event for the planet as time we don't. spring going on for months twenty twenty five years and since there's been an eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country when the nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who are accused of property sabotage and label of th

i figure you can't take a bad picture of jimi hendrix, you cannot take a bad picket of mick jagger. i was there to record them recording the rock opera. the end of the day of the reorganized pete townsend was saying let's go have something to eat. afterwards, he said my friend mick is over there making a film at this house in kensington. he said let's go and stir it up a little bit and see what is going on. i walked in with my camera and there they are shooting the film "performance." he had these great, big lips! that was very fun. >> let's talk about jerry garcia for a second. >> okay. >> you got a picket of him and he didn't really know what was going on there. >> this is true. what happened, they came over to the studio. we finally were going to do a cover story about the grateful dead. i was going to shooed like richard and one by one by one. he comes in the studio, puts his hand up like he is waving at me. i didn't think anything of it. i put the picture in the soup. i look at it and up comes his pigments and his hand, how did he do? this how did he do? this long story short,

a bad reaction is hives.bad reaction. >> you had a bad reaction to prozac since i've known you. >> eric: this was in california, right? >> kimberly: yes, the homicide was. oregon is where they live now. >> eric: you know where this wouldn't happen? texas. governor perry wouldn't let it happen. >> bob: only you could have gotten that in. that was the worst segue of the entire show. >> eric: accurate, though. >> monica: let me ask you here, isn't it true in most cases that when a parent kills their children it's usually out of anger or reaction to the spouse or former spouse? i'll punish the ex-husband killing the kids. why didn't the judge take that in consideration? >> kimberly: she didn't kill these kids yet. i guess it's fine. she was relieved serving four years with no condition. not on probation. >> bob: she did get off and done by reason of insanity, right? she did serve her time and they found her competent. >> greg: who is going to play the main characters in the lifetime movie? valley berteneli. >> mo

november so to come up with a deal will they will it pass congress or will the trigger people ninety seconds. they were competent deal i don't know if it's going to be good or bad you know as daniel said before tax increases are definitely still a possibility we hope not you know painter is trying to assure his constituents that's not going to happen but you know me they only control one half of one third of the government you know so there's only so much that republicans can do to see obviously the come up with something i'm actually inclined to think that they'll pass something just because the triggers or are bad for medicare which republicans care about are bad for friends which republicans care about and democrats care about medicare too so i am inclined to think that they would. that they would pass something it's not no one's going to like it the whole thing was. it's nothing like a silly. and in a year's time will make make a prediction this bill will burn two years time this bill will be nobody will care about it at all because we have done so little and absolutely nothing for either side except the democrats go consensually agree with that you are my

that was a bad habit. it's not a good example either. >> reporter: while bochy struggled, giants bull pen catcher bill hayes went for a change-up. >> it could be the best $300 i ever paid and it did that. >> reporter: hayes paid a hypnotist in arizona $300 for a treatment that knocked his habit out of the park. he hasn't dipped since january. bochy asked about the weapon. >> right before we went to arizona, he had asked me if i still had her card. >> reporter: bochy took a break from swinging bats. >> pretty amazing, really. i had never been in the chair for about three hours. but i didn't realize how long i was in there. because she asked me. how long do you think you've been sitting there? a half hour. she said you've been 234 there almost three hours. >> reporter: four months later, bochy says hypnotism is a home run. >> i'm surprised i don't have any craving for it, yeah. i quit numerous times. and still have that urge. and i haven't had it. and even though i see it. >> reporter: pitcher jeremy affeldt

you can get a bad review that was unappreciative of the work you've done and you can get a bad review that mischaracterizes that your reviews and say you do things that you don't do and do things that you do and it was both. it was written by a guy named russ smith. he's a person actually -- i've admired a lot of his work. he was a founder of a couple -- i guess, three alternative newspapers and so i make a distinction in the between the underground book in the '60s and the free alternative weeklies in vending boxes and he said i celebrate these decentralized structures and i don't criticize these and they were not interested on "rolling stone" magazine and they were coming down hard on underground newspapers and it wasn't sufficiently explored. and he said i gave short shrift to the village voice and he went on to say "the village voice" was very pioneering and very influential to the alternative press and he mentioned a guy named dan wolf who's one of the early editors who had a light editorial hand and gave his readers a lot of things and it was important. he didn't say anything in

a bad week for the country. a bad week for everyone. e week, you know, by a compromise debt ceiling deal that, you know, we never should have had -- it's fundamentally, you know, really is smaller than he would have liked. did not represent the kind of bipartisan work that the problems of this economy suggests we should be having. in the end, can the president run saying you know what, i'm the adult, i'm not, you know, taking cheap shots, and if p i could just have a more democratic congress we could get some stuff done? >> because they tried that and the voters rejected it. look, you got 20% of your homes are under water at this point. you have 9% unemployment. you've got this downgrade, a bad narrative. it's hit on the whole political establishment, both parties. and the question is who's going to take the blame at the end of the day. and we tried one-rule party, and the voters came back. i think they will both take hits. >> i totally agree. my theory is if you're an incumbent this was a bad week for you to be sitting in washington cla

. >> wall street had a bad week last week. there's a lot of panic. i would expect a lot of volatility. it is all about uncertainy that's the big issue. >> chris: i want to get to the central question, which is at a time when growth for the first time quarter of this year was less than 1% in the first half of the year, what can and should washington do to boost the economy? mr. miller, the debt deal signed this week, let's put it up on the screen, will cut 25 billion dollars in 2012, 47 billion in 2013 and 59 billion in 2014. will that put a drag on an already weak recovery? >> those numbers are not very large. that won't put a drag on the economy. there's very little on the fiscal side on the spending side at that time government can do to stimulate the economy in the short run. on the monetary side interest rates already zero little the fed can do absent new scale of purchases that got the market worry the normal policy levers are not in place to stimulate the economy in the run. >> chris: spending cuts don't worry you? >> not those levels there. ar

a bad day off for service on servicemen were deprived of office. as well as known commissioned officers. including generals you see. it was that they were located in those very areas and belong to those brigades which we had reported to you as having the highest number of crimes against human beings. my you are handed out major general the people who are members roberto the manager of the seventh division. began their general cortez franco who was a whack when he was commander of the second division. during the media show on october twenty ninth you're going to have to be. a target of us as i am treated as i was ever spoke schoolma'am with just tolerated those deaths here on these days so what is it from what we gather this is an administrative decision. despite the criminal investigation we are pursuing with the prosecutor's office. this led to the opening of several court cases. i'm sure arrest warrants against members of the army. it's a political decision why the suv public opinion luckily it stopped the bats. because if they had carried on the

>> chris, i think what you're getting at is michele bachmann has the benefit, some would say it is a bader, but has the benefit as relates to a republican primary of being absolutely pure. in her ads she ran in iowa said i am not voting for debt ceiling under any circumstances. the establishment of republican party, the establishment, not tea party wing, the establishment privately sees it as an irresponsible position. they don't want a nominee who takes that position. so romney is caught in between. if you look at his public statements, it will take you about 15 seconds, he didn't make a lot of public statements. he largely avoided it, did events about obama and jobs and the economy, but really didn't talk about this because he doesn't want to talk about it, because he knows he is caught between the establishment of the party and tea party wing. what we know from the 2010 election, that tea party wing of the party has lots and lots of power, particularly in a small turnout affair. we expect places like iowa, south carolina to be next year. >> let me ask, rick perry seems to me is gettin

and clearly today, it was a bad day. whether it was a selling climax, i think it's a little too early to tell. i would sense that the market clearly is probably getting a little oversold, if not very oversold. but the other problem is they don't ring a bell and they don't give us a crystal ball, so you never know where the bottoms are and unfortunately they don't tell us where the tops are either. >> i'm guessing this is something that's very different from the beginning of your career to now. when you talk about a global economy, we hear so much talk about that here, very often, these days when you look at what's happening in our market, you are looking around the world, and the world is looking at us. more so than they would have been 40 years ago. >> there's no question about it. everything is interconnected. and nobody -- there's literally no place to hide anymore. >> i owe one of the things that people have to worry about is you get a wave going where one side reacts badly, the other side reacts badly and they feed o

out with several companies entire computer set up just because some guy in one of those was doing a bad thing. that is scary. >> unfortunately, we have time for only one last question. weber has the microphone, please. then maybe it is a mistake, but i have the microphone. i came to this lecture trying to find a definition of what cloud computing is. maybe i understand a little better, but i still do not have its in the simple terminology that i understand. my other question is from my point of view as a user of computing services, i have recently had the experience with a couple of banks going through a total change of their website, which caused me no end of aggravation to try to continue my accessing of my data, and i had the feeling, and i think you kind of touched on this, that for maybe financial reasons or because you technology people are so influential in the world you convinced these banks they had to do this, it just really made my life miserable for a couple of weeks trying to figure out how to use their new system. i mean, it seems to me that -- you know, i had the impressi

the stimulus package has a bad rap, okay? it seemed like it was hasty, it was unfocused, some of the criticism is ahn fair, but it's baked in the cake. american people think that was a waste of money, that was watering the desert. >> well said. >> we can't afford to water the desert anymore. >> i've got to tell you, i agree with howard, i think the word "stimulus" is a bad work. pick up "new york times," "usa today" your local paper after the president speaks in september. will there be a big char that says 500,000 jobs, 200,000 jobs on highways? will there be something we can see it and the republicans will have to say we have to take a look at it, they can't dismiss it. >> i completely agree with howard. >> no, wait, do you think that will be the case -- >> yes, i do, you might see three, and three is exactly what we need. >> 300 schools? >> no we're going to do schools, a hiring tax credit, and we're going to do a payroll tax cut. i think that's a flies, tight three-part package. if you talk about infrastructure, you're tot

will people say it's a good thing or a bad thing? dealcc1: of me a good the momentum the other candidates have? >> run, ed, run! >> reporter: the run, ed, run campaign credits ed with improving the tone at city hall. but others think lee should keep his promise and return to his old position as city administrator. >> we have a lot of good candidates. i don't see why he would break his promise and think he is the who1: can run san francisco. >> reporter: at least five mayoral candidates agree and have asked the ethics commission to investigate whether a group all, which ess forcc1: bankrolled the run ed run drive has already broken election laws. >> he also has a lot of heavy hitters behind him. so we're inserting into the mix a different type of candidate in a very rich race already.cc1: >> reporter: and ed lee is a ected to take part incc1: candidate forum tomorrow night theater.strocc1: lee told the chronicle he changed his mind, but said that he had not changed, said that he still considers that he is not a onitician, but he is foc

don't know if it's sexism not as fortunate i would agree with that either but there definitely was a bad choice now let's move on to some michele bachmann obviously is running for president michael moore has his own i. of someone who thinks director present take a look. michael have you actually had conversations with the math amy about this no but i think. he's been very courageous and not caring about who is offended by coming out and saying things that need to be said the republicans certainly are shown the way that when you run someone who is popular. you win. so basically he thinks that matt damon should be president instead. i don't agree with that you know i've heard some people thought i got maybe george clooney would make a good politician and he's just so much more of a likable character that day when i was just going to say there's no way i can support matt damon other than the fact that i disagree with his stances but i'm george clooney all the way for going with a rather then get out your good looking just because good looking guy i'm a better i don't know i was with you unt

he's in the press all the time, he has had a movie made about him, and i bet he's an arrogant jerk, and i get him. first trial he's going to make me look really bad. and this poor d.a., we're just going to look terrible. well, lo and behold tony serra comes in. he's a wonderful gentleman. he's gracious. he knows i've never tried a case to a jury. he knows that the d.a. has tried two cases to a jury. he guided us through this trial. he put on a fabulous show, as is his want, which was instructional and very, very interesting. he never took advantage of my inexperience or the d.a.'s experience. and by the end of the day when that trial was over -- of course, he won. but nobody on that jury would have ever suspected that i had never tried a case to a jury or that the d.a. had not had any experience, virtually, either. so i have always wanted to thank tony serra for making me look really good my first jury trial. i had thanked him all my life. and i will never forget that trial. [applause] but let's get back to the issues at hand. well, it happened again this morning. when i read "the chronicle." it seems like it's an epidemic, but maybe it just appe

in 10th grade, when i was 16, that's when i had a very bad argument with my parents that led me to go see a therapist, which at that time, i didn't want to do. being a 16-year-old male student, i just felt as though i could keep all of my emotions on the inside. anything that i was going through i could drink it off. i could play sports and not worry about it. so i definitely wasn't in favor of going to see a therapist. but during that time when i went to go seek therapy, one thing that i wasn't completely honest about was my drinking, which was something that hindered me along the way that led up to my suicide attempt. it seems that you were already engaged in a system that was going to provide you assistance when you attempted that suicide attempt. so, if you could talk a little bit about that progression? right. when i was diagnosed, being 16, i didn't know how to handle it, because depressed and depression are two words that are used over and over again in society. i didn't know what the difference was between being depressed and being diagnosed with depression. it was explained t

this is not a list of good promoters or bad promoters. this is simply a list. i will make it in red. there will be a disclaimer to that of fact. it does not take the place for venues and venue owners, managers, to choose their promoters likely -- to choose their performers -- promoters cautiously. you are still running around bar and security team. those are required. so, the answer is no. ok? >> [inaudible] >> it is not capable of editorial. i do none know that that would be a good thing, necessarily. it speaks to the need for you guys to speak to one another as well. because this is a person business, out of people business, we would be in an awkward position. and as always, as you might remember, this commission was a big experiment. this is also an experiment of sorts. we have never done this before, a way to know who is out there and somehow we will give you feedback in the process. >> [inaudible] >> white. let's -- >> right. >> [inaudible] >> maybe we should put this up here, somewhere link. we should probably do that. it is a fairly specific nightclub pr

>> it was a bad day for the president. more than that, it was a bad day for america. think this is just a terrible day. i have got to say that if you are pointing to president obama, i would point to leadership failure overall. leadership failure on wall street, leadership failure by your own christian standard and poor's was wrong to lower the rating. >> bill: all of that doesn't matter though. it's like being the coach, okay, of a football team that wins 0 games. yeah, it's players and players may get cut it's the coach who takes it because is he in charge. the whole world is looking at barack obama, the whole world, juan, is he not up to it? >> that's not true. >> bill: oh, come on. >> you know how you tell this, bill? you look at what the opposition is offering in terms of their leadership? >> bill: doesn't matter. we don't know who the opposition is going to be. >> you have to vote for one guy or the other. >> bill: don't know who the guy or gal is going to be. you are going to tell me -- wait a minute, juan. you are going to sit there and tell me the world has n

to be fair, president obama did inherit a bad economy. to this fault, he made it worse. delivered a trickle down bureaucracy, spending close to $800 million of stimulus that trickled down for the bureaucracy to handpicked industries to create temporary jobs. instead of eliminating our economic crisis, he worse in debt. instead of addressing the debt, he exploited it. he promised lower employment at this particular point in his presidency. one in six work-eligible americans cannot find a full- time job. that is not an economic recovery, mr. president. that is an economic disaster. it is time for change. i am not talking about the rhetoric of change, i am talking about the record of change. i have that record. if you look at the state of texas, we are where we are by keeping taxes low, cutting spending, making sure that regulations are fair and stopping frivolous lawsuits. we just passed a loser pays program in the state of texas to add to our substantial tort reform. our economy is responsible for 40% of all the jobs created in america since june of 2009. think about that
