what is your advice to military couples out there?well, first of all, they have every reason to be bothered in some ways with the reintegration and what's going on with the parent because the spouses themselves are having a hard time with reintegration. my advice to them in this particular case, make sure that the programs are there for families where there is deployment, the further into the deployment, the more we need these programs involved. if nothing else, the kid should be part of the team and help the parent with the reintegration and your mom and dad are going to come back and they will be different but you have to be patient and it all will come together. >> kelly, you lived through this. what is your advice? >> take one day at a time. communicate. xwh communicate with the service member that moved home. communicate with your children and there are organizations that have created programs to help the reintegration process and seek those out. >> kelly, jeff, great advice. hope you have a wonderful weekend. >>> soldiers leave

to you should be the only advice that you see. you should seek your own professional consultant's advice on the matter. what i see is that when you said "lack of oversight," no, i do not think our department failed you in that sense. we do not tell you how you should solve the problem. we cannot tell you that. we do not study your building. we do not know the extent of your problem and say, "you need to install a backflow preventer." there could be a number of ways to do it. but you chose to install it. that is why it is now under our jurisdiction. because you installed it, and it was incorrect. we cannot look at your plans and say that you are missing something here, unless it is obvious to us. it is not something we tell you that you need to install or something you and your engineers probably have to decide. but we as a department will look at your plan and say, "this is what you want to build." we would not know by looking at your plans that there is going to be a sewer problem. that is what i'm thinking has happened here. nev

"you can't do it. "there are going to be some people "who are just never going to accept it, and there are going to be some who will understand it." and orrin hatch said a similar thing to me. orrin hatch was always extremely supportive of the n.e.a. and he said to me, "don't waste your time "coming to visit people like me, "who are going to be supportive all the time, "and don't waste your time "going to see people like dick armey, "who are always going to be "against federal funding for the arts. "go for the fence-sitters. "go for the ones who really don't know "what you're doing with the n.e.a. and what art--in-- for our society is all about." and yet you

they give me great advice. i asked them a lot for the vice, especially when we have such a very serious fight with jerry brown over redevelopment. i have never intended for them at all to be a negative, because he is doing what he needs to do. >> eliminated from the state budget? >> it also hurts us in long term ways. we have used redevelopment of the correct way. the governor knows that. he knows there are other things to gain by this elimination. in that dialogue and, i have asked for a lot of device. with all of the changing term limits, and who do we talk with? he says to be bold, talk to people you ordinarily won't talk to. and to build allegiances as mayor. for this great city, i can pick up the phone and call people and loss angeles, all of the mayor's. that was his first device. yet the 10 biggest mares together and start forming allegiance. when you put that together, you have a powerful voice of there. they listened across aisles. we have most of the populations of the states. that was one good advice
