so you have sand, ash, pieces of wood, brick. well, the ash is a hazardous material. you come along and used to buy a site at sixth and mission, with the understanding you will demolish the building and build a 50 story building. and you thought you were just going to dig out the sand, the film, and haul it to another site. now you come to find out the material you were going to move at $8 per ton is now going to cost anywhere from $40 to $78 per ton. the has a significant impact -- and has a significant impact on the cost of your project. if you are out on the sunset and vine a single-family home, just have the geotechnical engineer come out and say it is on earth quicksand, the building will probably settle three-quarters of an inch. have the structural engineer look at the frame and say, you have a serious soft story here. lawrence, expected that. you might want to put in some clips and fasteners and sheer walls to stiffen it out. as you move east, you have not only the soft issues, the structural issues, but you have the hazardous-waste. if you recall as a kid, ev

they've been on this arthur ashe stadium for four hours. the aerial coverage of this men's final provided by directv. in 1988, lendl with a rematch just like this one, went four hours and 52 minutes to decide the men's title, the longest ever in u.s. open era, the ever in u.s. open era, the tie-break era. john: i just don't think when you hit a 99-mile-per-hour serve you can be pushed that far back. he's off the court there, and djokovic took advantage. still standing awfully far behind that baseline. john: nadal even feeling something physically. how rare would that be. he's had that issue with the he's had that issue with the foot at wimbledon. mary: like when nadal cramped in the press conference earlier. for both these two, this is a remarkable combination of power and staying power. dick: the velocity on the serve still take -- serve still take -- dictating this game. john: he's got a winner, second serve. three games in a row on this serve. dick: it's 4-1 in the dick: it's 4-1 in the fourth. can we start with realistic goals please? a

ashe's point, anger certainly has its place, but as serena williams learned the hard way at the 2009is year, it's very rarely well received on the court, particularly if you are black. president obama clearly knows that, so on the court, or rather, arena of politics, he appears to be following arthur ashe's example. it remains to be seen if it will pay off in the long run, but let's at least give him the space to let his racket, or rather, his policy and his pen do the talking in the meantime. >> now, i totally agree with what you're saying, and i think that the debate about whether obama should be angry or should not be angry misses the point. quite honestly, for me, the debate is to whether obama is a black man or not a black man misses the point. the job is to be the president of the united states of america. the united states of america has no capital requirements in its banking system. it has rigged trading agreements with the entire world. it has a tax code that is for sale through special interests in the congress. and i think the expectation is, whoever is the president, we w

i would like to acknowledge captain masha ash. captain ash has done a tremendous amount of work. she worked on protocols that would work with children taken to the youth facility. during the parent's arrest and from trauma. thank you very much officer pri lo and captain nash. i am going to go over the panel discussion. we are try find solutions which includes violence to and from school and on the site. our goal is to move forward solutions. we ask that all questions be reserved today end. please feel free to jot down questions you have. those questions we are not able to get to, we are interested in collecting them. we are going to collect information with respect to solutions as well as action items that they are going to take back and work on. so our first topic is violence to and from school. jeff will moderate this piece. >> we wanted to start talking about safety and getting to and from school, because that's really where it starts. again, as i mentioned earlier, many people do not feel safe in their homes, walk to go school and on the bus. one of the things that was listed

look at all the smoke and ash. all of that debris down at the lower levels of the atmosphere. a lot of bad air quality as well. here's the forecast for the next five days. temperatures will be in the 90s. but it will cool off some at night. so that's good. temps in some spots will actually get down into the 50s. as far as what we have right now for winds, we've got winds that are not too bad. one, two-mile-an-hour. we'll take that for sure. nonetheless, we're looking at a decent amount of smoke heading to the south and the east. will we get any rainfall from tropical system that's down here in the gulf of mexico which may develop in the next day or two. they are probably going to fly an aircraft into that thing and check it out today. nonetheless, our models have no idea what to do with this thing. none of them at this point bring it toward texas. as far as what's going on elsewhere, now a new tropical storm. its name is maria. it's a good 1,000 or so miles out there east of the caribbean. nonetheless, heading that

everything but the heart reduced to ash. thank you. . >> i just want to thank george for bringing to bear some of the numbers, some of the horrific things that are happening in iraq right now. this poem was drawn from my experiences in iraq from the culture, from the music and from its traditions. so i have dedicated this poem to iraq. i think it will be helpful for you to know el kubenchi, along with el watanabi. el kubenchi is famous for music, a great history and tradition of music, and he has taught all the gray modern singers of the 20th century who came out of iraq. his music has touched me and you will hear it in this poem, 32 beads on a string. i woke from the nightmare of a gutted macom, not because i have not yet bled my life in yellow, but because minarettes looking sky ward. one burly buffalo looking for hooves and hot breath because the skin is not yet numb and the lights are not yet flickering, i will continue to sip at my hot tea and stare at the dust-colored noon. one white dasha screams with the brilliance o

ashes to ashes, dust to dust. but you can see, it's really not meant for safety glazing. i remember as a kid, you know, running -- my brother chasing me, running with my hat, putting my hat -- when the door used to be open, and it's now closed. i still have a scar there. but at this point, of course, anything in a door is going to be tempered. >> or some other type of sait glazing. -- safety glazing. it could be laminated. >> or plaque. >> there's an interesting new product, and i don't know if you're been dealing with it, you probably have, which is two layers some kind of glass, with a film of plastic, but it's actually an intoo mess ens material and as it heats up, it foams up and forms a fire protective barrier within the glass. you can use these glazing units as a wall. they're actually not windows, they're walls. and we've seen this being used around san francisco, so that you have a fully rated, tested wall, that might be a one-hour wall, which is your typical property line wall, which is transparent, until there's a fire, when it changes, foams comes up. >> is tha

i was one of those people with just the wild ash-covered body. and i walked up, i saw a line -- cell phones didn't work. there were a line of people waiting for the pay phone. and there was a woman talking on the pay phone. i walked over to her and i took the phone from her and i hung up the phone and she looked at me and she looked as if i was a ghost. and i called my wife to tell her i was alive. and the sound that she made was, you know, was one could never forget. she knew i was in the building when she saw that tower collapse. she probably assumed i was gone. she hasn't heard from me for an hour. so i just thought i was finished, simply. >> and your wife suddenly realizes that you're still alive. i think -- didn't she take a call before the tower came down from your brother in the tower, is that right? >> my sister, she was with me at school. so her phone wasn't working. but my sister had heard from my brother. and, you know, gary called my sister instead and said, you know, she picked up the phone and heard his voice, oh, my god, gary, than
