point and fourteen point four million shares traded camping on the theme of pink let me add a little anecdotal flavor to this story when i was working as a stockbroker these types of stocks that were illiquid and traded very infrequently were listed on what were called the pink sheets which were available in brokerage

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

they say plural of anecdote is data. i'll go with that.you go with the share of part-time workers. i want to work full time but i'm only getting a part-time job. that is declining just as you would expect given the underlying issues in economy. i said, how that that share be trending? it's right on the line. ben is right about the anecdotes and he's right about the incentives in the program. the data isn't there yet and we have to be data-driven. >> when you talk about user fees, what are you talking about, john? is that going to generate the revenue democrats want and republicans don't? >> no, it won't. that's part of the lowered expectations. smaller amount of money. you can define user fees however you want. like how much does it cost to go into a national park. some define gas tax as a user fee because you only use it if you buy gas. there are various ueuphamisms people use. rob portman, who will be on this committee, will concede revenue, that's a positive sign, that there's a spirit of getting a deal, even -- >> quick point. the cong

when we hear anecdotes, we respond to that. but when you look at the agate data, it rather overwhelmingly demonstrates that again, this is a nice talking point, but it's just not accurate. it's part of the confusion campaign that folks are waging. >> joining me now is the democrat from california and congresswoman, now that we have the bls data, do you expect that we won't hear this anymore because the data shows it just isn't true. >> i do think that my republicans colleagues have consistency shown that data doesn't really change their talking points. they're even marketing books that contribute to the confusion around health care reform. >> one of the things i think that's happened with the health care law is something that also happens with the debt and deficit is that people attach it to their economic anxiety about a labor market that's not functioning very well in the broadest sense. so people feel like the labor market isn't functioning and they are right to feel that way, then they tag obama care has the culprit. >> can

you hear anecdotal evidence. those are the reports that we've heard. but no, there has not been an overall trend charted. we have to remember the employer mandate has been delayed for a year. the requirement that don't have coverage will pay a fine. employers will be looking now when making decisions for future years but these anecdotal reports i don't want to discount what everyone has experienced but they're anecdotal at this point. >> people around the country, david shuster was just talking about this a moment ago, why are people around the country receiving cancellation notice from their insures. >> these are people in the small group market. their plans don't comply with the affordabl affordable care a. if the plans don't comply with that, to bring them into compliance the current plan, they can no longer be purchased. they can buy a newer plan. it can be less expensive or more expensive depending on the coverage they pick. >> i didn't even have to have that last answer. mary agnes kerry from health news. thank you for joining us. >> thank you fo

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

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

>> we are seeing it, there is anecdotal evidence and empirical evidence. you look at the numbers.o many people right now moving from part time, full time work to part-time work. we're seeing the, the rate increases not only in one state, but in many states, that have now, are now implementing this law. so, we, we do have, we have a tremendous amount of evidence right now. it is, got to be very frustrating for people there, particularly reporters trying to hold the administration accountable that they can come up with numbers they should know and should be sharing with the american public, crucial to making the law work. >> anderson, factually, here for one thing. the idea that the cost of health care coverage, the cost of health care has been rising, it has not, it is not true. we all know that. quite frankly something has to happen. >> cornell -- >> cornell -- >> the cost of health care stabilizing. which is the first time it has done that in generations. the ideal this is rolled out and failing now. you are pulling that out of thin air. we have no idea what we know. what we do k

mandy the federal reserve's gauge of all the anecdotes on the districts finding that the economy expands at a modest to moderate pace. there are affects of the debate over the debt ceiling and shutdown. growth slowed in four of the 12 di districts and the debt debate along with the affordable care act. consumer and business spending and payrolls did grow in many districts. res kengsal real estate did improve. auto sales were strong and manufacturing expanded modestly led by aerospace and autos. retailers remained optimistic about the holiday shopping season and employment growth was modest. employers were cautious however because of the affordable care act and the fiscal uncertainty. some of the specific comments. in boston the boston fed saying it was concerned the shutdown could dampen consumer spending. new york an employment agency reporting they couldn't hire people because they couldn't do background checks. and chicago manufacturers were worried their consumers and customers confidence could take a hit. we have impacts already on the economy from this debate and because we don't h

but it -- i think it's true that more executives are thinking about it, and there are certainly anecdotesith may tag, ge, ford, apple, google, lots of other folks either shifting or planning to shift jobs back, but in the macro data it has not shown up yet. >> the fact is americans buy stuff that is the most cost effective for them. so what is the best way to pick up manufacturing in the united states? >> there are a couple of ways. it is true there is much more a consumer preference for made in america. eyond that, wages in asia are rising. they have leveled off in the united states. you have the energy cost, and the awareness among executives that it's easier to customize, and better to be closer to your customer, you can increase control over your inventory, over your quality, your are less likely to lose intellectual property to left or piracy, so there are lots of tangible and intangible benefits from locating in the u.s. >> scott we'll spend a lot more time talking about this. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >>> that is our show for today. friday we take a look at twitter's

this is anecdotal evidence but it is interesting. there is a strain of people who struggle with my books because they are not comfortable playing with ideas, i am. you've got to be on board for that and if you don't like your ideas, if you don't like to take chances with ideas you should read textbooks, i think, that's more appropriate. >> perfect time to take a quick break. when we come back i'm going to ask malcolm gladwell how he became that guy who enjoys >> audiences are intelligent and they know that their needs are not being met by american tv news today. >> entire media culture is driven by something that's very very fast... >> there has been a lack of fact based, in depth, serious journalism, and we fill that void... >> there is a huge opportunity for al jazeera america to change the way people look at news. >> we just don't parachute in on a story...quickly talk to a couple of experts and leave... >> one producer may spend 3 or 4 months, digging into a single story... >> at al jazeera, there are resources to alow us as jour

and if you look at cgi, it is the perfect anecdote to that.or corporates whether they are in the us or all around the world need to do more in their communities. goldman sacs has done wonderful initiatives. but we need to move away from this to doing something impactful. i think in africa, and in all the emerging markets, companies that invest have to do something meaningful to change that country. and i think what you know this is all about is really doing that. people standing up and saying, making a promise to do something and more and more those kind of things will i think be the anecdote to the occupied wall street movement. >> did you learn anything from it? >> there were a lot of lessons being given at the same time. it is hard to separate them out. but of course i did. i would like to say something and respond. the biggest contribution that we make is not going to be in the philanthropic thing. but it is in our core businesses. one thing that i would like to say that the wall street interests and others is that business has helped lift

some huge part of this is anecdotal. some part of anecdotes will kick in until people can sign up for stuff on the website. >> this may sound 30,000 feet. for a long time we've been seeing our economy tilt towards a certain highly privileged class that gets everything while the broad middle class and lower middle class is further and further left behind. this is the first major reversal of that trend. it's not just about kids with pre-existing conditions, it's about reestablishing a different social contract with american families and workers across a broad spectrum that begins to connect different ends of american society. that's why it's so important defining legacy building step for the administration. too bad it's been such a horrible rollout. it really is not just about kids and the poor. it's about the american middle class that's going to continue to see their jobs under stress, continue to see the kinds of things shored up, quality of life they had come undone. i think it's very, very important to remember this i

i've heard enough stories, enough anecdotes from people in the industry working with the states to know that a lot of this process is going to end up falling away from an actual online easy user friendly experience to people filling out paper forms, and when they do that, you're going to get mistakes. >> there is no doubt that in implementing the affordable care act, a program of this significance, there are going to be some glitches, no doubt about it. that's true, by the way, of a car company rolling out a new car. it's true of apple rolling out the new ipad. >> the website, as i say, healthcare.gov is up and running making the process pretty easy and will drive information to folks. >> we still continue to believe that the individual mandate being delayed is in the best interest of the american people. >> obama care is open for business, while much of the federal government is not. this is "special report." >> just visit healthcare.gov and there you can compare insurance plans side by side the same way you would shop for a plane ticket on kayak or tv on amazon. go on the website, hea

>> again, at least the economists, not anecdotal folks, but economists say there's absolutely no evidencehat part-time work is going up. in fact it's going down. the height was in the recession. it's going down. and for the first time ever in this country, part-time workers and there's a lot of part-time workers there always have been and will be in the future, will have affordable health care. >> jon: you are saying -- >> you bet. they'll have an option. not the employer offering help but -- >> jon: there are people that will end up in difficult times having to spend money they would not have spent, yes? to buy health care if they did not have it or want it? >> there are people who will yes, pay money and many of them will pay less than than they pay for cable or cell phone a month. >> jon: but for someone who loves cable -- >> and god knows we all do. i -- you know, we all do. >> jon: but the basic idea is what you are saying to the american people is some of you may face a penalty for the greater good is what the vution vution -- the suggestion is? >> it also is we don't get to pick an

. >> share with us an anecdote or something that stands out as cool. >> kyle was born as an con gel tall amputee. his whole life, people told him no. if you want to climb mount kill man jaro, we will help you get the right equipment. we took him to africa. he climbed mount kill ama juror roe. he came back to the united states and went on to win for disabled athlete. >> if i go on a trip, am i going to be working? >> about 20% is community service and 80% is enjoyment but people can do 100% of community service. it kind of depends on what trip you pick. >>> a few animal videos for you guys. let's face it, you could watch them all day long. >>> first, we're going to head to one of our favorite places, kruger national park in south africa. this is a pretty short video but it is mesmerizing. watch this. >> what is that? >> that's a kudu, in the antelope family. that kudu being chased by the lion ness jumped over and clears an suv, from a high-jumping kudu, to a not-afraid-of-heightsskinot-af - not-afraid-of-squirrel. the squirrel has been up there and it finally moves. >> whoa! >> sounds lik

. >> we do not have to be anecdotal. the southern poverty law center published a story examining how the civil rights movement is taught. you would think with mlk day, how many times do you hear "i have a dream" in january and february ? only three states get an eight. only three states get a b. 35 states get an f including the great state of california. that is reprehensible. the first thing we have to do is provide the tools so we have a dvd with six hours of impeccably researched history. we have a great companion book. and now we have to lobby the school district, state legislatures, to put african- american history where it alongside in the classroom. and not only is a separate course because most legislatures will not do that. i am talking about integrating the stories so that, let's say not only do we learn about george washington, we learn about the slave kerry washington. he ran away from mount vernon and fought for the british and then when the british lost, went to nova scotia with the free black community, th

this is anecdotal evidence but it is interesting. there is a strain of people who struggle with my books because they are not comfortable playing with ideas, i am. you've got to be on board for that and if you don't like your ideas, if you don't like to take chances with ideas you should read textbooks, i think, that's more appropriate. >> perfect time to take a quick break. when we come back i'm going to ask malcolm gladwell how he became that guy who enjoys playing with ideas. >> we find the fault lines that run through communities. >> the shooting happened about 30 minutes ago. >> companies... >> the remains of the fire are still everywhere here. >> the powers that be at home and around the world... >> not only do they not get compensation but you don't even have to explain why? >> well thats exactly what i said. >> we question authority. >> so you said we could get access... >> that's enough! >> ... and those affected. >> investigative journalism at it's toughest. >> welcome back to talk to al jazeera. i'm talking to malcolm glad

we can't let the voices of the losers swamp the winners. >> people are used to anecdotes.st tuesday after the first monday of november next year which is election day, will this thing be settled by then? >> it depends what you define as settled. oh, i'm sorry. >> go ahead, congresswoman. you first. >> i think democrats and republicans are both at risk november of 2014. but right now the public is more angry at republicans for shutting the government down and to the extent that they have done it to prevent people from getting health care is not enduring to their benefit. as a democrat, i'm hoping to really exploit the foolishness of republicans, to demonstrate to the american people that they don't deserve -- they need to be deselected for their lack of leadership and for their unwillingness to bring a common commodity such as good health care to people. >> it's great having you on, congresswoman. gwen moore of wisconsin and jonathan groouber. >>> up next, what's more frightening than a government shutdown? how about the scary political costumes that are hot this halloween?

at the federal level the government has not said how many people have signed up, but to anecdote tallounts, it seems to be a very low number. >> dr. donald, you were the first person in charge of this. what in your view has gone wrong and so seemingly terribly wrong. >> i don't think it's so terribly wrong. we're seeing th that it's implementing critical changes, and it's a big task that involves interfacing with a number of systems. if this wasn't politically charged this is a set of problems you would expect in a set amount of roll out. >> if i could turn to you, do you think there were decisions made that perhaps could have exacerbated the situation or other decisions that would have made the results in the early days different? >> the technology here is really the flash point of the issue. one of the things that we see looking back on how this project has run, i agree with don, what he's saying, it is a complex undertaking, it's a complex implementation. these types of complex projects are often prone to problems. when you look back i think that there was an attempt and partly due

i mean, a lot of it has been anecdotal because facebook does fought break out it's user demographicsy age. in order to see if younger people are shying away from facebook we have to listen to stories. but they did say on their earnings call today while younger teens were stable between q 2 and q 3 with overall monthly actives, it did decline. we don't know what age group that is, but it scared some investors that the stock went down after that. >> you saw the stock go up and then it went down. kurt, one has to imagine, i'm not in this world. i'm certainly not a guy who invented this, but you got to imagine when facebook comes out. it's so new, so groundbreaking, at some point the fascination factor of spending hours and hours on facebook which i admit i have done in the past, it gets old and you move on to other things. >> yes, when facebook is competing with so many other social networks that are giving people away to share things that are easier to digest. pictures or videos, the visual aspect is a little bit nicer and while people still share pictures to facebook when you can go t

about why we believe that people become addicted to these drugs after one hit, it's mainly based on anecdotal hysteria. but when we critically think of it we think about the last three guys who occupied the white house, for example, president clinton, president bush, president obama, they used illegal drugs but didn't become addicted. >> didn't immediately become addicted. >> i'm saying 10% of these folks will become addicted, who use drugs, that's a fact. but we have overblown the extent to which these drugs are addicted. >> you did experiments, why don't you explain those for us. >> we did a number of experiments but those -- >> where you offered a little bit of money. >> one of the things i believed when i started doing this research was that one hit of cocaine perhaps for a crack cocaine addict, had them going off on a bing e, you can't avoid that behavior. when you have a sexually receptive mate, sweet treats and whatever, you can provide alternative behavior. if you provide something like $5 versus a hit of crack cocaine, you can get people to choose $5 about half of the time. but when

the idea that cms, a pretty anecdotal story, cms has adjusted the long-term costs for medicare and medicaid down by $1.2 trillion from 2010 estimates to 2013. you've got to believe obama care has something to do with the huge savings. the republican party decided that obama care was going to be a failure early on before obama care was even decided. it was a political choice to pull all support for anything this president wanted to do. now they have to live with it, so they have to maintain the story line, but senator cruz, i don't see it at home, i don't believe it. i think if you know anybody who had a child, say, with a preexisting condition who was trapped in their job for the rest of their lives, because they could never move, because no other insurer would ever cover for them, or the child that wentb yond the cap and the parents had to sell their house in order to pay for the continued cancer treatment, because they had blown through the cap. those are situations that needed attention s obama care has fixed them. >> let me respond to that with two things. number one, it's interesting p

at the book is good anecdotal in these courses they learn for example which vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin a that they. sit but they get better and i'm i said no you ought to have the the main goal the big man. by the way and become so that we take advantage of the opportunity to ask whether there are currently cases of vitamin a deficiency on the island. and by that age this is. to somebody who would be nice is not one. grape or feet off the case i had seen before the let's say a cell was illegal e.t.c. that was it back in the healing of the child. this is an amazing claim according to national statistics the island is considered a region deficient in vitamin a but the local health workers have not documented any cases they don't know where and how the national statistics are compiled. our visit to the island raised a lot of new questions we saw a population that while poor enjoys a well balanced diet and contrast to the official national statistics there's no sun in a vitamin a deficiency here. what does the inventor of golden rice have to say about what we have observed.

but measuring just how much business online activity attracts has been, for the most part, anecdotal. but few deny that it can't hurt. "as a small business grows, they need to get in front of large numbers of people they need to attract." so as twitter prepares for it's i-p-o roadshow beginning october 28th and for trading on the new york stock exchange to begin november 15th, a big question remains--how much of it's "access to eyeballs" will translate directly into sales for advertisers. twitter's user growth has slowed and is coming mostly from countries overseas not considered big markets for advertisers. but the lure of having access to twitter's 232-million users is a powerful magnet. it may help potential investors to overlook twitter's third quarter loss of 65-million dollars-- three times what it lost a year ago. it also added 300-employees during that time but the losses are draining twitter's bank account. it hopes to raise a billion dollars by going public. the ipo market is showing no signs of slowing down. yesterday veeva systems opened at the new york stock exchange. the

there are anecdotes going through the information and in the last page says you can't enroll. according to the census bureau, in 2012, 48 million americans did not have health insurance. >>> the fbi has shut down the drug world's version of e-bay. it's an online drug bazaar where anonymous users can buy illegal drugs and even hire a hit man. this man was behind what's called silk road. his online name allegedly dread pirate roberts, a reference to the prin did he say bride, albrecht is facing charges of narcotics trafficking, money laundering, conspiracy. he's also suspected of using the website to try and hire hitmen to silence two other users of about the website. this message is where people visiting the site will now find. it's believed the site had $1.2 billion in sales the last three years with 80 million going to albrecht. the fbi also seized $3.6 million in the bit coin digital currency. one of the suspects in the brutal case of road rage caught on camera in new york city has been officially charged. christopher cruz faced a judge faced with unlawful imprisonment. cruz

a very interesting entrepreneurial story with pioneering technology, but i want to go back to an anecdotehich some people... it will ring a bell with a lot of people, because it may have happened to them: fire in the kitchen. something we all fear, and sometimes we face, and it starts pretty stupidly, except this particular fire took place in the home of a nasa engineer named dr. shah - reza shah - born in india. and it led to a lot of things, so i'll let you take the story from there. - well, dr. shah was quite an interesting man, very interesting life, unfortunately since passed away. but in the early days, he spent probably about 20 years working with high-tech companies all over the world, including nasa, doing some very interesting things. in fact, when i first met him, i said, "can't you keep a job?" but he was a man who liked to move on after he'd completed a project to do other things. he was never necessarily happy in one place. but he was at home one day. he and his wife owned 2 large great bern... st. bernards, and his wife, fasia, left something on the stovetop and went down t
