so, again, it's a hard question to answer in ways that are other than anecdote. there have been survey data and things of that nature, but i feel uncomfortable saying unequivocally this is what we know, these are the trends. i like to be evidence based and i'm not sure the evidence allows that. >> roslyn, challenges to you and secretary duncan. >> for the first time you can see data for the first time about the -- discipline and students referred to law enforcement, suspensions more than once. on the bullying and harassment we are also collecting for the first time ever data on the number of incidents of students disciplined for bullying and harassment. they are not exactly reliable. lots of folks aren't collecting this. our collection is at the school level so you could go and see all this data that pop out in nice graphs for the first time ever and look at schools in your community. there were in the sample, it covers about 85 percent of the nation's schools this year we're in store for a universal sample, you're looking at over 60,000 students that were report

and what this anecdotally -- not anecdotally. from the study what we see is that very few children -- elementary school children are taking the transit. but in middle and high they start to see large numbers of children taking that. and especially in high school, it's almost up to 80%. >> yeah, yeah. and most kids, just from what i remember, it wasn't too long ago -- [laughter] >> most kids caught the bus to high schools because they weren't really high schools really close. but most kids mostly walked to junior high and elementary school, and in larger groups which is, i think it would be interesting to see what that data looks like in terms of -- i'm not certain that that data was gathered, but clearly when you see a group of kids walking across the street, they're most likely to be any kind of accident. >> safety in numbers. >> yes, definitely. and i would be definitely interested in looking at more data around this issue in general, but this is really helpful. >> sure. >> thank you. >> and just to point out, the other recent

and what this anecdotally -- not anecdotally. from the study what we see is that very few children -- elementary school children are taking the transit. but in middle and high they start

i just have to share one anecdote from that movie. we had a question and answer session at the end of the movie and lee hirsch was there, unsolicited, he was not a plant, a student stood up, he was probably an athlete, strong, good-looking young man, he stood up and said what can i do when i get back to my school to make a difference? can we start a club, can we have an event, will you support that? it was a superintendent's dream to have a student say, what can i do? we want every student to go back and say we're going to do something and make it part of what we're going to do against bullying. the one thing i will share with you, ladies and gentlemen, this is not an issue that is just a school district issue. this is an issue that is a community issue. ironically yesterday as we were preparing to have 3,000 students come to 4 or 5 different venues across san francisco to watch this film, the evening before and the morning of the film yesterday we were in very close communication with the superintendent in marin county schools becaus

i wanted you to perhaps give us some of the better anecdotes that you remember from that time together how he viewed her as a person as their relationship developed. >> right, ashleigh. well, there are so many things that i could say, but i might just point out two general areas for you. the first is that reagan always saw thatcher's election in britain in 1979 as the model for his election in 1980. the same economic forces of decline that were at work in britain in the 1970s also according to reagan existed in america. so when thatcher came to power, reagan saw that as a very, very good idealogical sign that he would be elected in 1980, and he talked about this many times during the campaign. the second thing would be -- >> go ahead. >> i was going to say the second thing would be when they both were in office reagan saw margaret thatcher as his essential partner for his plans to try to end the cold war on terms favorable to america. time after time, ashleigh, she ran important interference for him to keep the alliance together, to keep the west united, so the cold war ended on terms

so i just -- more anecdotes. >> that's really helpful. ros, one of the things we talked about before we came up here, kids think this is all a joke until they get more information and a lot of parents think this is a joke too and maybe some parents are coddling their children. >> as i do the work around the country that i do, i am concerned about how bullying is being politicized and that it's therefore losing its power, that we really are in this incredible place of opportunity where a lot of people are galvanized, here we are in this room. but we're right at this place where i think you get coopted into nothingness very easily. and the way in which that comes across is in, where people say to me, well, people are going to get into fights, people are going to get into conflict, teachers are now saying to me, not every conflict is bullying and the policy is every single concept is bullying and it's not so i don't know what to do. this is making me cez. . the policies of it that i hear when i do radio shows, come on, this is the way we do

i think the there is a lot of that that's already happened with people just anecdotally who are reluctant to go to occupy wall street at the same time i think that in the future there is going to be massive social unrest and so what we're seeing right now is at the federal and state level agencies attempting to create templates for how to police that unrest that i think they are fearful of in the future we see will john thank you so much for joining me to talk about that was john journalist and co-host at radio dispatch thank you john absolutely thanks for having me keep your eye on the prize the nobel peace prize that is do you remember when president obama won that in two thousand and nine it was a total surprise now activists are saying that maybe he doesn't deserve groups like roots action which are launching an online petition calling for the revocation of obama's two thousand and nine nobel peace prize now that campaign one quarter of a million strong i might tell you claims that obama became an aggressive military leader after taking office too aggressive in fact to maintain that p

it does come to a bit of anecdotal finding. what we are being told from the development community, what we are hearing from the preservation communities and those that have td r are less able to control in the marketplace. some of our older buildings downtown and our experiences and findings what we have been told is getting consensus to the families is an impediment for the tdr market. >> if the challenge has been more the ownership as maybe their inability for the trust to come into agreement or the property owner may not have the capacity in order to engage in this type of transaction, then this change in legislation which would allow tdr's to transfer freely wouldn't necessarily help those owners that are having these challenges. it's not going help family trust come to a unanimous decision. this doesn't address that issue. >> know. it wouldn't address that issue but we think what would come into the equation is help ungum, the properties that do mr. president to be tdr and couldn't participate and for the south of market.

these anecdotes that are put out by some organizations simply don't hold up when we look at the statisticsact, there is not a net flow of those crossing the border. the united states. in fact, americans want to get there drugs from the canada side because they're so much less-expensive. john: that is because they freeloads off of our relatively free market system. >> you're correct in one thing. drug companies, for example, the same multinational drug companies, the same product from the same factories that are so low over the world are less expensive in every other of the deloped capitalist democracies in the world. half the price in canada, a quarter the price in new zealand. and this whole business, you know, if you actually go to canada, canadian support for system. they know what the amecan system. john: support socialized medicine. >> well, i can really speak to the polls, but i can tell you that it is not just anecdotes. when you have, you know, people that are in charge of the cats fans, people that our physicians in canada saying, look, we cannot get our patience the studies -- jo

but honestly that's very preliminary, and it's just a guess based on anecdote tall evidence. >> michael the feel you got from being out there. you mentioned south boston. there is a special election for the senate. could heavy turnout there be enough to push them over the top and how likely would that be? >> here's what i found really interesting. you see a lot of signs for the candidate, the south boston candidate for the special state senate seat, a lot of houses were signed. a lot of signs on decks. a lot of signs in window. you don't see anywhere near many lynch signs. if you're going with the south boston team and you're willing to put a sign out it would seem that you have the sign out. but i really didn't find that. i was surprised by how many more signs there were for the state senate candidate than the candidate running for the united states canadian. i think he'll get a reasonable vote, but i think the lynch campaign really thought they would be able to use labor particularly the trade unions, to drive a large turn out and small turn out election. they did not get the consolid

. >> reporter: gerragos shares anecdote in his book "mistrial."ere's something deeply wrong with the fact that the u.s. prison population has quadrupled since 1980. no other country in the world has imprisoned so many of its citizens. your book is the case for legal reform from, if you'll forgive me, the scum bag lawyer's point of view. >> we get a lot of hate mail. >> reporter: it was ever thus for defense lawyers. what's your favorite legal movie? >> probably "to kill a mockingbird." >> you never understand a person until you understand things from his point of view. >> "my cousin vinny" is probably my second. >> is your attorney here? >> i am the attorney. >> reporter: the notion that criminal defense was a noble calling, disappeared somewhere around johnny cochran. >> if it doesn't fit, you must acqu acquit. >> reporter: today at the federal courtroom that o.j. simpson beat a murder rap. a lot of people point back to the o.j. case as an example. but as a defense lawyer, would you say that justice was done there? >> yes, i think the first case,

things i'd like to talk about one is the back seat credit card terminals and i'd like to share an anecdote so i'm cruising you are coming up the hill at baker and some guy makes a left right in front of me bank bam head on collision bam the cab is destroyed ambulance is called whole 9 yards. passenger behind me hits his face bam on the credit card terminal doesn't hit the soft head rest breaks his nose blood spurting every where. is this the price we're paying so that their firm can get a little more percentage on these credit card fees? applause. the passenger has a broken nose blood spurting every where i'm covering the terminal now with something soft god forbid something happens again so that's that. the other thing i want to talk about is lift drivers man give me a break you know give me a break. this is crazy. i ended up going on a cupid date a couple weeks ago i like hot girls what am i to say so i go to, alameda beach turns out the girl is a lift driver need less to say nobody gets laid on this date [laughter] the point being she's 24, 25 it's not her car it's her step dad's car an

>> that may be just anecdotes.do know that in guam because we are in typhoon alley, we have the population and we have a fairly experienced homeland security and civil defense agencies that deals with emergencies such as typhoons. so with that, there are folks that may be taking precautions that you would take as a result of a typhoon scare. but aside from that, i do not believe and i have not heard of any evidence of some sort of panic from the community in which they would be storing items for impending attack. >> all right. guam governor, thank you so much for speaking with us. >> the question some have asked, should the u.s. strike north korea first? republican congressman peter king made national headlines earlier this week when he told erin that the u.s. should not necessarily wait. >> if we have good reason to believe there is going to be an attack, i believe we have the right to take preemptive action to protect ourselves. i don't think we have to wait until americans are killing the wounded or injured in a

there were also trivial anecdotal pictures of everyday life. courbet called his art "realist."ch bell ringing] rejecting the idealized vision and false rhetoric of academic art, he painted the mourners attending a funeral in his own small town. courbet said, "it was not my intention "to attain the trivial goal of art for art's sake. "no. my aim is to translate the customs, the ideas, "and the appearance of my own epoch as i see them." we're not told who's being buried, but it's clearly no one of national significance, but courbet called his vast picture a history of a burial at ornans. by its size and title, he was claiming that his society's everyday customs were just as worthy subjects of serious historical art as any other. modern landscape and modern people were now the raw material for a serious form of painting. courbet intended his picture to be seen at the paris salon. it was clearly meant to shock, particularly in the political circumstances of 1850 when it was exhibited. in the elections of may 1849, about 1/3 of the votes in the countryside had been polled for radica
