the famous anecdote where the protagonist has to go to the newspapers and edit out any past references that contradict the current narrative. we were always at war with eurasia and i found the same thing in north korean propaganda. i got books published in the 60s, 70's, 80s and 90s and today. you will find an early story it will say kim il-sung went to india to meet with the prime minister and the same story will be told in a later look and it will say kim il-sung went to a foreign country to meet with the head of state. the facts just fall away and you can see them consciously trying to put north korea into a fog. i spoke to refugees about what it's like there and they don't teach them geography. it's ubiquitous in american western schools is the world that was in learning about europe and africa and south america. they are taught about china, japan, the u.s. and south korea and russia and that's pretty much it. it's absolute pervasive, their attempts to control the minds of the populace. >> you mentioned earlier something along the lines of this is a secularized divine right of king

usually the way we are handling this cases is anecdotal wisdom. i'm a licensed social worker and i have many staff that are trained, seasoned and it's not to say that we need research to be able to know to guide us on a daily basis. it's important for the field to have that research to be supporting us and to be establishing evidence based casework practice. it's an interesting question, but what i spoke about earlier is more anecdotal wisdom than anything else. >> how long has adult protective services been in existence? >> in its current form it has been around since 1999. it's a baby program. we are still in our maturation stage. prior to 1999, one of my supervisors was here and there were 5 workers and they were answering the phone and working with the police. they were primarily working with physical abuse cases. 1999 actually i feel like i need to acknowledge it was the program director mary counihan that was in my position for about 14 years who was responsible for the state legislation. it was senate bill 2199 and it was so significant for

. >> apart from the policy wonk discussion, bill snyder, is there power of anecdote? this has been a very unpopular law in a lot of circles. but does that start to get chipped away at now that we've sort of ended the battle? you've got the 8 million enrollments, and people are where they are. is this a time where people didn't have health insurance before might start to soften themselves even in the face of the mandate which has been so unpopular. >> the anecdote is very important. cee cee was a journalist. i'm a journalist. we'll say, put a face on this story. get the human interest. the government has done a good job of telling the story of people who lost their health insurance or those who have to pay more for their insurance, they're getting more for their insurance but they don't say that. the democrats have to come out with those who say for years i didn't have coverage. i was depressed because i had a condition, i didn't have insurance policy, but now i have it and now i feel better. those people have to be pro rated out, featured, and democrats have not done

because there are a lot of anecdotes out there like that, and that's not data. but what you found mind? >> the scientists are working around the clock to continue to collect data so that they can finally, publish and say this is consistent, reliable and people information. >> is there any breed of dog specific? >> it's a good question. i always thought the best dogs to train were golden retrievers? >> germap shepherds? >> but apparently any dog can be trained to detect >> in the case of actually finding the cancer, are they just more obsessed about getting their reward at the end of it? >> that's exactly right. a dog doesn't care if it's so deeply trained into them that every time they find cancer, they get to play, they know that's a game. they want to play. every time they see non-cancer, they don't that reward. they want to find the cancer >> how are they applying this knowledge? hospitals? >> it's funny. you would think that that would be the next step, but the trainers and the scientists all agreed, they don't want to bring dogs into hospitals. they want to

men will put their hands up when they have 60%. >> is this going to be anecdot anecdotal, how do theyrove that there is a confidence issue. many negotiate salaries, and when women do negotiate, they ask for 30% less pay than men do. and when college students are asked how much will they make, they state something less than women. >> a study a researcher named zach estes was studying the difference between men and women in spatial ability. this is something that men were thought to have the edge. and sure enough, women were not doing as well, but women were skipping a lot of the questions. when he told everybody to answer all of the questions, the scores were almost identical, and then when he told everybody to rate how confident they were after each answer, another group of people, women's scores plummeted. we skipped the question. we think we're not going to get it right. then when we do answer, how confident are you go what you have just done, suddenly we're performing worse. >> the data you put out there is fascinating. one of the points you make, which i thought was interesting, i

if we're goingr, to talk anecdotes, we can talk anecdotes. is that badty --ctices often behind the hide behind the skirts of good people. the reality that we're facing are beingat j.s.a.'s used to circumvent the rules.ion's and let's talk about the anecdote where one broadcaster a station, realizes that it is in a conflict situation because they can't have it, mother, and then agrees to operate it and take from it.e cash and then buys another station, to his former financial manager, and takes all the that.e from we have a situation where public broadcasters are saying control.e.c., we have of these stations and saying to f.c.c., oh, no, that's a different company. accomplishtrying to openness,ansparency, a common set of rules, and waiver process that will make sure that the examples get taken care of, while at the same time we're to our rules and our process. come backave time to to this, each of y'all got one anecdote. more. i got >> mr. wheeler's was more complicated. call on mr. holiday. >> so i expect to follow up off the record with you

wire taking anecdotes we can talk anecdotes. the difficulty is that bad practices often hide behind the skirts of good people, and the reality that we're facing here is that jsas are being used to circumvent the commission's rules and if we're going to name anecdotes, let's talk about the anecdote where one broadcaster buys a station, realizes that it is in a conflict situation because they can't have it, gives it to his mother, and then agrees to operate it and take all of the cash from it. and then buys another station, gives it to his former financial manager and takes all of the revenue from that. we have a situation where public company broadcasters are saying to the fec, we have control of these stations, and saying to the fcc, oh, no, that's a different company. what we're trying to accomplish here is transparency, openness, common set of rules, and, indeed, a waiver process that will make sure that the examples that ajit gave, get taken care of while at the same time we're being faithful to our rules and our process. >>

. >> this anecdotal evidence reveals the stark disparity between american schools and is indicative ofhe persistent income achievement gap, a term which refers to the lapse in learning between wealthier and poorer students. research and data not only support the existence of such a gap, but show us the extent to which many of our schools are failing. >> your income level plays a larger role in your academic achievement than your race. so what the stanford center for education did is they looked at standardized tests, and they saw that the test scores between affluent and low-income students has grown by 40% since the 1960's. >> the gap in test scores between poor kids and wealthy kids is now nearly twice what it is between white kids and black kids. >> fully 96% of kids from the highest income group complete high school -- it's just almost a given, 96% -- while less than 2/3, only 63% of those who come from the lowest economic quartile, do. >> according to the education department, many poor public schools do not pay teachers and educators as much as wealthier schools just a few miles

. >> here's the old saw at economic, anecdote is not evidence, but lots of anecdote can start to amount to evidence. that's why the fed does the beige book. it gets the anecdotes from the 12 different federal reserve district, and we look at things that the companies say on the ground to aggregate them. you don't want to take a report from facebook and make a call on the economy. but you could put facebook together with apple together with i.p. together with ge and the other big conglomerates, and say there's a sense out there. and the sense we're getting is the march and april data was better than january -- >> look at chicago pmi today. i didn't go through -- i saw the headlines, that was a blowaway number. >> yeah, some of the things we're seeing, it was hard to shop for cars, harder to make cars. there are two questions you cannot ignore. housing and cap ex. those are two things we'll knee to accelerate if we get to 3. >> doc, i want to hear from you, the theme we've developed is energy. >> yeah. >> if you look at s&p leaders, the stocks that have led, four of the five are energy co

anna, i will give a real anecdotal side of what is happening in the greece. behind me, we have the square. this has been the scene of protest and even molotov cocktails. right now, there are people out there replacing all of the marble in that square. they stop to doing that for a long time. they are cleaning up the square. the statues are being cleaned as well. that seems to me to be a sign that someone thinks there is going to be -- and assigns of the nature of the economic recovery we are seeing in agrees. and there are others i will bring to you later. looks interesting developments. caroline is watching m&a news. bethe british company getting a company. climbing on the news. it has been reported in the british press. based in scotland, and engineering company is eyeing a merger. 6.5 billion pounds merger. it provides services to the mining and oil and gas communities and trading higher on the back. .p 18% >> caroline, thank you. we are watching for japan. the index showing a corporate sentiment. gains could be short-lived as the higher sales tax kicks in

. >> kevin, what is the expectation, and it may be anecdotal, but in america you'll do better than your parents did. it's a land of opportunity, and anecdotally, maybe those with two incomes and kids are feeling like they're falling behind. it is easier to fall out of the middle class than it is to get ahead. at the same time we're seeing what appears to be greater concentration of capital accumulation amongst the rich. despite--put aside consumption and income, what we're find something that people can't seem to build wealth in this environment. the people in broad middle and lower income segments. is that a concern? does that mean that society might be failing us? >> i'm 52 years old and i've been watching this stuff for a long time. you maybe not quite as long, but every single year since i can remember there have been times where i've been on some show, and everybody saying is that anxiety is higher than it's ever been. that people are worried that they can't get ahead any more, and that concern is a steady drum beat in american society. it's been there forever. the question is is i

i think mark's point about the border anecdotally, a lot more of these are people who live here before and may have and andrted and have families are trying to get back to these people. we would look at these differently. wouldn't necessarily see this as priorities. at the senate bill a lot of them would potentially be eligible for legalization. there are challenges. you have got a fundamental dilemma. you have got to show serious credible enforcement to address republican concerns, but on the number are a fair people the democrats they got to be eligible for legalization. is it appropriate to be targeting this? are still real issues out there. >> i don't work with the data. i would agree with your assessment. is withould expect these people crossing the border, it's true people in the past went back and forth repeatedly. it was a way of life to cross repeatedly when the borders didn't mean much, when we treated the border as maybe a string of barb wire and everyone knew it was a joke. crossing reputedly had one moral significance. once you start to say, we are going to apprehend you a

that's having a mid term election, you'll see plenty of tv ads on the healthcare law and plenty of anecdotes. the best day the administrn has had since the law was passed and certainly since the enrollment started october 1st. the numbers, 7 million, the administration i have 7 million enrolled on the exchanges. good news for the administration, there isn another badews headline that we know about that's ge coming up until the fall, when those premiums for 2014 are supposedo be in formula. and sowhile, it does seem on the near-term horizon, the white house can breathe a sigh of relief. >> let's talk about election day, primary day here in washington. we've got two front-runners. what doe the current mayor -- is there anything he can do to move himself ahead at this point? >> get his people to tn out to vote. the most fascinating thing about our nbc 4 mayor's pollats th vincent gray has the enthusim on his side, the more committed voters. that's his sect to success. muriel bowser, her secret to success is keeping on the momentumhe's been having and convince the people w are supporting some of

is this just anecdotal? how do they prove there's a confidence gap? you found studies finding that men initiate salary negotiations four times as often as women, and when women negotiate they ask for 30% less pay than men do. when college students were asked what they expected to make men estimated 25% more than women. >> i know. it's striking. you know what? our favorite study, if we can call it a favorite study, but we thought it was just really seminal, is a researcher named zach estes that works in italy was studying testing the difference between men and women in spatial ability. this is where they thought men had an edge, but he studied confidence. did the test, and sure enough, women didn't do as well. he looked at the answers. women were skipping a lot of the questions. when he told everybody to answer all of the questions, the scores were almost identical, and then when he told everybody to rate how confident they were after each answer, another group of people, women's scores plummeted. a, we skip the questions we think we won't get right, b

this is anecdotal.learned that in the chicago area, steel production returned to normal levels but that food manufacturers are out of boston, richmond and dallas struggled with a drop in demand because of the weather. the report suggests most of the country saw a modest to moderate pick-up in economic activity between mid march and early april and that, of course, is particularly in regions hit hard by winter weather: increases in most areas of the country but the outlook for housing remained a little bit cloudy. that's all in this month's beige book. >> what about other economic news? there was more news that came in today. right? >> a lot of stuff. this is one of those weird periods where we are getting mostly good news. industrial production which measures the output of industry, mines, factories and utilities, grew 7/10th of a percent in a positive surprise. february output was revised to 1.2%. these gains mean industrial production grew and impressive 4.4% in the first quarter compared to a year ag

, she's promoting this book, and there's an amazing anecdote, and she talks about having a meal with larry summers. larry summers took warren out to dinner in washington, and she recalls, she has a choice to make, she could be an insider or an outsider, but if she was going to be an insider, she needed to understand one unbreakable rule about insiders. they don't criticize other insiders. i -- my jaw was sort of agape at that exchange. and i felt like, if it's true, and this is a first person account, it kind of told you everything you needed to know about why people love elizabeth warren and maybe why they don't feel so warmly towards larry surps. >> oh, to be a fly on the wall at that table. i'm amazed that the rolls didn't start flying. because, as we know in washington, the only way that one insider talks bad about another insider is anonymously to one of us. >> exactly. but i don't -- i mean, i think -- obviously, she's one of a hundred senators. that puts her in an exclusive club. but i do not believe that -- there are some people who, i guess some artists who we love because t

>> there's going to be a battle over anecdotes. you'll see a lot of democrats.n argument about how much to change the subject to the coke brothers. you'll see everyone who's running look at their district or state and say, are there stories here we can explain how the laws work? there will be plenty of stories on the other side. there's going to be an advantage on the republican side with more money for tv ads. >> those ads have already started in terms of health care. in wisconsin, it's pretty much a swing state, you see these ads already. on the other point, though, there's no doubt democrats are trying to switch the narrative to talk about anything aside from health care. they still don't want to own the issue. what i was saying earlier, they're trying to sort of build up the defense. what is the sort of fortress we can point to. mark is right. you don't want to have to talk about longer wait times. the fact that you are going to see some premium increases. if you get into this war of anecdotes, usually the side with more money and passion wins, which in 2014

>> you said that they had determined that this would be fact based, not just anecdotal. still what extent is there writing used at that time and still used today for research? six. >> extensively. he was a beautiful rider, but mostly a kind of short story writer and essayist. i would not say that their prose style was particularly gripping. in large sections they basically just "letters. if you look at the ten volumes, i would estimate offhand that three or four volumes is just direct quotation. they had notes on the side of the book the sort of side of the stores instead of foot notes. there was listed. that was basically until 1947 how most people were able to access. they had to do it through them. in the 1890's it published a collective work of lincoln. they basically put out what they claim more of his personal writings which did not include the vast collection of incoming mail and memoranda that went to lincoln went to work enormously valuable. no one got to see those until 1947. because they carry the collected works and because they decided which pieces of his ri

there's a lot more combairs of the mount cameras this is anecdotally what i hear it's notable to say that >> again happy to have the conversation. >> supervisor mar. i know the former chief talked about the tazers and will anything b be coming forward for the use of training on tasers >> mr. prolong lost his license after the assault in the chocolate factory so i took place the argument but when we went to have the conversation about the policy it became so cumbersome when the community that came to the meetings i don't know if it was the majority of san franciscans it became so cumbersome on the officers that large people and thin people and people with a drug problem and wet people and people in bicycles people in high places the california includes what so much we were only asking for one hundred cameras someone was going to get hurt one way or the other so i abandoned my ask. if someone wants to bring it up perhaps it could happen but at the time it wasn't something that san francisco was wanting to have so we only have a stick and the next thing is the gun so - >> i'm really ple

an israeli university spin off he was using anecdotes which are made from organic materials and messages to nominate as the crowds. i don't store energy from sin and compact form the workers did not waste a visit to the arrow own destiny the surgeon wanted to create the business by opening it. a twenty one percent. to show you that wants to connect it to the charges. they go the second was supposed to be fully charged. and it lasted for about two three hours. right now so we stood and better ways to go and visit with it. while until you see that it started to fuss in the future. oh but that is to be just like this just don't use of arms was made in back to basics by the states which have put into building both vital to life such as amino acids to make molecules that can store an electric charge. bright colors going into test tubes and the shoalhaven catchment from chemically synthesized by a molecule. that is to stop production of the thirty second charge of finding two thousand and sixteen. likely to cost roughly twice the price of a standard small print on terror but that doesn't seem

seems like, you know, well, we can't haven't written into law the consumption model it's not an anecdotalay of measuring our consumption in the city and relative to climate change is good to do. >> this is one of the reasons the climate action strategy update in this iteration of the report we need to take ownership of the emissions we're producing and try to elevate what kinds of recommendations we can created in order to truly he'd that if you look at transportation in san francisco the model they account for models into san francisco and we take that responsibility and claim that in or numbers but f sf o traffic many of obvious travel and where do we calculate that impact is that assigned to our county when every san franciscan comes and goes when you take the snapshot you - the ad age if you can measure it you can address it and the challenge and the debate between a model of emissions and do on the consumption side it becomes personal we can measure that emission and control and making sure that, you know, one of the recommendations in the report is for mta and muni to go to one hund

one of the dangers right now is teens and there's been sort of limited information, but an neck an anecdotal information. that's an issue. the other thing which i find very interesting is that the marketers of e cigarettes are able to advertise on television, unlike the tobacco industry so i think we'll see quite a bit of that as we move forward. there's been a lot of advocacy. san francisco once again is leading the nation and pushing for a ban to e cigarettes and basically it's a ban that would disallow the smoking of e cigarettes for a tobacco products are also banned. that's an issue. anyway, it was a very interesting update and i think there's a great deal more to come. >> would you explain to us, or perhaps the director can, that now the ordinance has been signed, what the obligations of the department are. >> i'd like to turn that over to tomas. >> one of the nice things about the ordinance is that it'll treat e cigarettes like all other cigarettes, so where cigarettes can't be smoked they can't use e cigarettes. from our perspective, it won't really change what we do, just expand fro

. >> they have given us mild anecdotal stories, and that may be part of the investigation and i don't want to say anything compromising to that. >> reporter: [ unintelligible ]. >> do you want to address that to some degree? >> we have collaborated with the chaplains. we came in last night and provided support to the family. they have family resources at fort hood for those individuals that provide support. some of them are like the family readiness group, family life center, and the communities, so this will be ongoing support for those individuals. >> reporter: the families involved or anyone in the community? community [ unintelligible ]. >> i think, we're here for the patients and the staff, right now, the patients are the primary focus. but we're also collaborating with others, trying to reach out. >> okay, you're watching a live press conference from scott and white memorial hospital in texas, near fort hood. there were nine patients that were either shot or injured in this shooting. the latest, three of those patients are critical, with neck, potential spine and abdominal injur

any one of them stand out, sort of a fun or disgusting anecdote?s. >> russia, you know under this stretch -- horrifying, all-power leader -- >> i wonder to whom you are referring. >> has become a very interesting place. >> you know, i'm curious, in discussion a few years ago i went to buy, i was on a shoot, right? i am not a food aficionado, i was starving, we said we were going to get food at one of the stands on the street. instead of a soda, they like their alcohol. did you have fun with their -- could you keep up with them? you know, i have seen women at night out drinking a whole bottle of vodka straight. >> any russian grandmother in russia can drink me over the shoulder and drive me home. i consider myself a professional drinker but i cannot take it. i cannot keep up with these guys. and i need a few years in between russia shows. >> thank you, anthony. >> and it -- by the way, this is one of my favorite pictures, this picture of anthony on the train. be sure to catch the season premiere of "parts unknown" sunday night, 9:00 p.m. eastern, i

the plural of anecdote is really not data. it is a few examples.here are a couple hundred democrats in the house who are proceeding in a very positive way. >> let me ask you about the supreme court ruling this week on campaign finance. basically it said that people can donate as much as they want in the aggregate. you still can only send certain amount to a congress person but you could send it to every congress person so there is no aggregate limit anymore. have you said bad idea, you don't like it. on the other hand, aren't you prepared to use it? you'll go back to some of these donors -- >> no. >> for your members, part of what you do as a minority leader is to go out and help others get elected. won't you go back to these who have maxed out under the old limit and say you can give more now? >> no. i'm a big believer in donor's choice. we're respectful that the people have not only federal limits but budgets. people i spoke to are concerned about the environment and children being educated and the rest of that. this is not is pragmatic agenda. >

right now all we have is anecdotal evidence.an tell you from my interaction with colleagues, people through my reporting, it seems that life is pretty much back to normal. but anecdotally mothers especially mothers of young children, pregnant women they are still cautious about using the water especially ingesting it. >> woodruff: is there a law that people are better protected because there's now new regulation? >> i think we're starting to get there. as the law made it's way through the state house it became more and more comprehensive. the environmentalist groupsa lot of community action groups were glad to see that. but i think it's going to be one of those that takes the test of time. most of the most strict regulations coming from that law will be put through the rule-making procedure. basically our state department of environmental protection will decide the specifics of that law. i think it's going to take looking in to those rules, seeing how they play out over the next couple of years, before we can really say whether
