yeah, you can do market research, can ask them for surveys, can ask them what they think. at the end of the day, it is better to see than do something. that's the whole thing behind mvp. i might tell you i want something, might tell you i'll use your product. force me to try to use it and see if i actually do. >> you launch your minimum viable product, how do you get enough feedback so you know how to move from there? >> there is nothing special about that. you need to enlist early adopters. those are the people really motivated to use your product, use it, give it to them, start using it, follow up with them. hey, how often do you use it. one thing about internet kind of products, you can instrument the products, can watch how often they use it. that's a good sign. >> the key to all of this then is having an open mind because you have, again, this idea of a product, and once you get feedback, the end result that you should be getting may be entirely different. >> that's so true. we tell entrepreneurs, get locked in on the product, not the solution. because the solution sh

i asked the chairman whether he would fund it. he did indicate that he does support legislating through appropriations bills. he seemed to be saying that he would fund the law. that is a big no-no for a lot of his members. it remains to be seen whether the 169 members who voted for this will still vote for a bill that funds obamacare. there's a very fine line to cross against the finish line. >> 169 republicans voted for this. what are the odds all 169 turn around and vote for the appropriations bills? >> you vote for the topline number. then you had to vote for the stuff under there. if you sit there and have an october shut down, you fund it, you own it on the health care law. marco rubio was out there saying it. ted cruz was fighting implementation. this has been a very high- profile argument friends and people who are very likely to want to represent the republican party in 2016. january 15 comes and goes there has to be a vote in the republican house the somewhat repudiates that. that is going to be a big vote for a lot of me

they never asked him first. this time asked hill and he gave a truthful answer. >> come on. >> one of them that he unequivocally lied about is the video about benghazi. that was a complete fabrication. they arrested a man, used the power and resoces of the government to railroad a guy. >> if you want to go to benghazi do you think it's just possible that the government couldn't tell us the whole truth because things were happening in benghazi that were -- >> purposely lied to the us. >> though there are things we shouldn't know and you would support us not knowing p it is a cia action. >> the that never justifies affirmatively lying about a video. >> we didn't lie about a video. what did he lie about? >> said this was a spontaneous -- >> he knew better. they did know better. >> how did we get to benghazi? the. >> you have a duty. you don't care about lying. you said he doesn't lie. >> under the conditions he lied about. >> you do agree the president is a liar? >> i agree all presidents occasionally lie. >> moral

you can ask anything you want to ask at&t any point. we'll not further a recommendation to you that has a cloud over it. i believe that the generation of this particular acquire was around the fact that the da's vegsdz are still open and sometimes, it takes years and it's not fair to the officer because the investigation itself is complete and in the hands of the da to merely issue the declaration. i'm going is a they're a slam dunk but the vegetates we do is good. yet still for this commission if you'd like to separate something out as expressed in the order ask for further investigation it isn't broken we don't need to fix it. if someone want to ask for a disclosure but please we're laboring over the most honorable thought-out practice and policy in one of the most historic police departments in the country and we're making it sound like we do is on a wing and prayer it's not fair >> may i respond. thank you cohesive. i know this is a subject of a great grateful passion it's a beautiful beautiful component of the department. i certain

the idea of asking for 15 hard copies or pdf copy at all. probably you have no idea how many people don't have computers. i echo sue in this way, do you know what it's like on the outside. easy for the professionals. but we struggle to get information out to people. even at 1170, not a poor building, some people don't have e-mail. and don't have a computer and many neighborhood leaders. there are many things of concern. and i in reading this and saw something to the effect when organized opposition that we had, there is to be a chance for rebuttal at the end. that would have been helpful if that occurred. nothing that was said by the methodist -- i believe that i read that in there, perhaps i am wrong. not in the appendix but the other part. since practically nothing said by the methodist -- the lawyer that says that he represents methodist and charges them. it does no good for natasha, the person that knows that he's lying about everything, and sitting in the back of the room and shaking her head. and for us not to be able to address ceqa.

almost more of a hormone than a vitamin. >> eric would want people to ask, you have to ask for a vitamin d test. it's not part of the standard blood panel. this is kind of scary. is there anyone who shouldn't take vitamin d? >> as a nation, almost a 30 of the country are vitamin d deficie deficient. you get your vitamin d from exposure to the sun. there's been so much sunscreen and great for skin cancer, but now we're not getting enough vitamin d. you neat 10 to 15 minutes of sun and then you get 10,000 units. vitamin d, as marc mentioned, it should be looked upon as a hormone. we don't think of it as a vitamin for bone health. we see a lot of studies that it affects your cognitive, your tired, your autoimmune disease, so you need to know your 25 hydroxy vitamin d. if it's over 50, we like it to be around 50 to 80. when you get your blood test, ask the doctor, what is my level? between 50 to 80 is a good one. you're okay. if it's between 30 to 50, you need to supplement. certainly, if it's below 30, you're in trouble. normally, people go for about 1,000 to 2,000 units. i personally somet

brazilian senators have already asked for snowden's help during hearings about the n.s.a. is targeting of brazil and snowden is now asking for help in return right now the former government contractor is living in russia on a temporary one year visa of course onan still faces charges in the u.s. here's how white house spokesman jay carney responded to questions about granting snowden whistleblower status at a press briefing this morning it is remains our view that mr snowden is accused of leaking classified information and that he faces felony charges here in the united states and he should be returned to the u.s. as soon as possible. where he will be accorded full due process and protections to learn a little bit more about this i spoke earlier with kevin got stolen a blogger at firedoglake about why snowden is focusing on brazil right now. well he hasn't formally asked to be granted asylum what he put into his letter was this statement that in order for him to help brazil investigate potential crimes against their country committed by the u.s. when doing surveillance aga

cowan asked for a train and he asked us what we wanted and big tv came to my head. >> absolutely! well. andrea, you're pregnant. what came into your head? >> honestly, like nothing did. i kind -- they don't show it, but i blanked for a long time, i was just laughing because there were so many things that i could ask for. but none seemed appropriate for santa. >> i understand you were thinking, i wish there was something to eat in there because i'm a little hungry right now. >> for sure, yeah. some subway or whatever. >> so you tell the video santa what you want. you think nothing of it. you get on your plane. go for a big airline ride and then at the other end when you're waiting for your bags, what happens, matt? >> i was standing by the baggage carousel and presents started to come down. bubbles and snowflakes coming from the ceiling and next thing i know, there is a box on the carousel and it's just a small box and has my name on it. i grab it. andrea comes over to me and goes, you got a present. i was like yeah, i guess so. and santa came out and he had a box in his hand and i

finally, whether you are citizens of america or the world, ask us -- ask of us the same standards of strength and sacrifice that we should ask of you with the good conscious our only sure award and history are final judge of our deeds, i may have been a naive kid but i wasn't the only one who believed it. in those days, there were ideas that our freedom was dependent upon the freedom of others, they were working for a better world for our children, everyone was entitled to justice, that we owed something to our communities that had given us so much. that there was an enlightened self-interest that was better than simple greed. now we have a city hall family smart enough to lie for each other. now we have david chiu having us arrested. now the lies don't matter because only money matters. in fact, it's been a rough 50 years and the lies cost more than the money. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. >> if you want to pull the mic. a little closer to you. >> sure. >> perfect, thank you. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the board, my name is [ina

i would like to ask you to answer a letter that. there are actually three design basis for earthquake and the double design basis you mentioned and also the hot screen earthquake. when it was described in 1980s the plant was reevaluated to see fit. handle that. and it can. the shoreline fatwas and now -- was evaluated and it was bounded by the design basis earthquakes. the plant is considered within compliance. let me say that we have asked all power plants in the country sites.aluate their d.l. glucan is in the process of reevaluating their seismic hazards and their reevaluation is due in to the commission in march of 2015. evaluation ofew diablo canyon that they're doing themselves, be required to prove -- to approve that it can withstand stronger earthquakes using the same industry-standard methodology required in the operating license of the shutdown earthquake? >> we're using the most up-to- date methodologies to do the site evaluation. >> do feel that fully incorporate the techniques? i could takecord them into a more detailed

you're asking sara to choose between her family and you. all i'm asking her to do is see my side.she had to have seen how her mother and father treated me. did they come right out and say they do not approve of you ? not in so many words but they hinted pretty strongly. - and you think it's because you're chinese ? - what else could it be ? it could be for any number of reasons. maybe it's because you are a goofball or your hair is too long or maybe they think you're an ill-mannered adolescent. you think i'm a goofball ? i do. how do your parents feel about it ? they'd be a lot happier if sara were chinese. - sounds like you're getting it from both sides. - i remember when i asked... jihan's parents for permission for us to marry, and they gave us all sorts of reasons to wait. what they were really trying to say was... they didn't want me to steal their daughter away from them. -but i don't want to steal sara. -then why don't you tell her parents that ? - you make it sound so simple. - it is ! just go over and knock on their door. - no, wait ! i have a better idea ! - uh-oh. you g

so really don't ask -- we can't ask the wrong question. this is a human rights issue, and human rights must never be politicized and under the mask of human rights we must not mobilize millions for the sake of confronting human rights and creating a political imbalance, okay? all right. i'm going to take a question now from detroit. this is from martin. and martin wants to know, martin wants to know if just as hamas and hezbollah have massive charitable operations but do not get american taxpayer money, should the new israel fund be put in the same box? well, i'm sorry to say that's a totally wrong question to ask. you should never mention the new israel fund and hamas and hezbollah in the same breath. the reason -- i understand the reasoning behind this wrong question. hezbollah and hamas all have charitable wings where they have soup kitchens and summer camps and things of that nature, but they also have this militant wing. now, the new israel fund does have its massive charitable wing, and it has a massive political wing, but there's no

i'd like to ask mr. mayor ed lee give him a round of applause >> thank you, my japanese is not as good as yourself. i'm glad to be here as the mayor of san francisco and joining jane kim in welcoming the first international incubator right here on market street the innovation capital of the year. i want to thank the general for being here per he's here because he knews we're an international city. we host some 72 foreign consulate offices here. we're host to 18 sister centralize and one is in japan. i'm delighted that today on this wonderful announcement of digital garage 707 is in the heart that combination of the digital garage incubator headquarters in the innovation corridor. i was talking to some of the media they know this is part of our commitment to market street. that we want this to be the incubator innovation for the whole year. i have sincerely announcements one is the recognition that innovation isn't done locally we're part of on integral market the talent is here and technology interest is

ask for unanimous consent to cut off amendments. they got unanimous consent because nobody could think of any other amendments. and then senator byrd would say, and senator baker did as well, all right, let's start voting. and vote, vote, vote, vote. we get to about wednesday or thursday, senators would think maybe my amendment's not so important. by friday when it was clear that the majority leader was going to finish the bill this week, they dropped the amendment and we got it done. so the senate was a place, not perfect, things were still bumpy. there was senator metzenbaum sitting on the front row objecting. there was senator williams before him, senator allen before him, exercising their rights. but the majority leader was able to do that. the senate worked on mondays. it worked on fridays. worked at night. and the threat of that usually caused people who were trying to not show a proper amount of restraint and use their privileges to back down. instead what the current majority leader does, and you heard him tonight, he compla

but he hasn't formally asked to be granted asylum what he put into his letter was this statement that in order for him to help brazil investigate potential crimes against their country committed by the u.s. when doing surveillance against brazil he would have to be given asylum so that he can really participate in this inquiry his terms for a temporary asylum in russia he wants to respect what russia has given him basically doesn't want to look like he's not grateful for what russia has been able to do for him so that's why that was that way and so there is this concern and this interest in going to brazil because yes tried to go to germany and that hasn't worked out that was rejected by uncle of merkel and there are these other countries like every door that was initially a possibility and that didn't work out. as we know the journalist who broke a story glenn greenwald is actually based in brazil along with his partner david miranda do you think that could carry any weight in convincing brazil that they should open their doors to snowden or are they doing anything are they speaking

ask them to take some specific measures and. this is the most important thing a our system should provide provide for open communication to. system that we we have now it is really quite cumbersome. in a city that has one it hard for me land people ordinary citizens can hardly reach them in a civil government this is the first thing that i wanted to mention and then another thing is that. according to a recent decision health care and education is no longer the jurisdiction of the municipal government because actually the local governments lack the necessary funds to tackle this objectives so this is what we have to decide where their wishes should pour more funds to. the local governments so that they can be in charge of this or we should decide that this question cannot be tackled him on this apollo so there is a whole range of question questions this is why i called on. you're solving these issues but i didn't put forward any ideas myself i asked them in a superlative. you want to discuss this with a regional governments toge

i was asking you about the readiness. were movingthat we ahead and we had the federal health on track and on time. do you recall that exchange between the two of us? >> i am sure it took place there. >> two weeks before you were told by the mackenzie group that number one, they found extensive problems and were not allowed to make the launch date. no one was in charge and the completed project with a moving target. you were aware of all of that when you visited the subcommittee in april. >> i ask for the mckinsey group to come in six months ahead of launch date and give us an analysis of their method -- advice.s -- best we acted on their recommendation. >> you are the one who commissioned the mckinsey group? >> yes sir. >> i have to ask you, what did you do with that information? you are not being honest with last two weeks later when we were talking in committee. >> i would disagree. we wanted the report six month out. we wanted to make sure that we had independent eyes and ears to look at the readiness and the challenge

they asked me about theology. i said, look, if you call people here theologians, we need another name for those people. they are totally different. so publishing the writings of ratzinger and all of these great theologians, that is how we started. >> and here you are today continuing in this. >> we are. and then back in 1995, i had a suspicion -- eye wrote a letter and said, can you give us the rights to all of your works in english in the future? >> and you continue to have a relationship with him? >> i think he is pretty hard to get to. >> to. >> we're running out of time. exhort us toward this new era of the church, the era of the resigned papacy. >> i think we should give thanks to god that we have had great men who have been chosen. and have been wonderful figures. and benedict and john paul two, have set a legacy, which the next pope will carry through. it will be a great time of growth for the church. >> about pope benedict the 16th, he is the pope, he is a cardinal, what from him, stays with you, from you

and he would ask you, mr. president, i see this deal as a historic mistake -- which he has already stated -- and i think it's the worst deal the west could have gotten. and you would have told him, bibi, that's where you go wrong. what would you have told him? that's one thing. and then, perhaps to understand the essence of your conversation, he would ask you, mr. president, is there one set of circumstances under which you will order your b-52's to strike in iran? what would you tell him? [laughter] is there any set of circumstances in which you will order your fighter pilots to strike in iran? what would you tell the prime minister? >> let me make a couple of points. number one, obviously, the conversations between me and the prime minister are for me and the prime minister, not for an audience like this. and i will say that bibi and i have very candid conversations, and there are occasionally significant tactical disagreements, but there is a constancy in trying to reach the same goal. and in this case, tha

i knew you were going to ask, barbara. it is obviously a difficult thing for a family to deal with, but lynn and i put out a statement a few days ago, a week or two ago, and we -- were surprised when there was an attack launched against liz on facebook, and wished it hadn't happened, and do believe we have lived through the situation and dealt with it for many years, and it's always been dealt with within the context of the family, and frankly, that's our preference to properly deal with it. >> you have publicly said your supportive of -- >> i've gone as far as i'm going to go on the subject, barbara. >> okay. >> don't waste your time. >> i see you haven't lost your ability -- >> you taught me a lot. jon sitting over here. >> one last question and then we'll take questions from the audience. you mentioned the affordable care act in the opening here. do you think if the affordable care act had been in place would your healthcare have been any different? you were covered by insurance the whole time. what -- >> well, the insu

we continuously ask the questions. i asked her plainly, you know, the president said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, period. are you going to reassure the american people they can keep their doctor, she couldn't do that. this is not good for america. this is very bad for health care and not good for the economy. and we've got to come up with a answer here, we have passed that legislation to cope your health care plan if you like it and to delay. >> congresswoman, thank you for your take on today's hearings. >> thank you, alisyn. >> we found out secretary sebelius will ask for a inspector general to look into the delay of roll out of healthcare.gov. chris wallace is here on. that chris, good day to you. i guess better late than ever. what do you think of the ig move? >> it is a classic washington move is what i think, bill. we have seen it in the white house before and other presidents as well. and seeing with kathleen sebelius, when you get in trouble you announce an investigation and hide behind that

all the questions prior to a full board meeting or asking for a continuance in advance. i just think, you know, in most cases i would support continuance. but in this one, we are hearing from so many residents there is a housing crisis that's going on currently. and instead of facing threatened evictions throughout our city -- and i know that this type of eviction is something that is impacting supervisor avalos's district. and i didn't fully comprehend the legislation until i got e-mails from his residents explaining actually this type of eviction that they have faced previously and if this legislation had been in effect, this would not impact them. so, tenants that had been threatened eviction so that their units could be merged with another unit to be filled out to sell off a larger unit, et cetera, et cetera, i think there are not a whole lot of things that we locally can do to support our tenants you unfortunately because so much of legislation ~ around tenant right happen at sacramento and it forces our local body to be incredibly creative around thinking about how

i ask a couple of questions. when you look at the constitution, does the president have the power to fundamentally transform america? of course not. why would you want to fundamentally transform america? it means you don't like america very much, do you? you don't like capitalism, private property rights. you don't like our constitutional system very much. when you keep hearing this fundamental transformation, change is hard, we need more time for change, you need to understand this is a direct attack on our constitutional system. that is what he is talking about. >> sunday, january 5, best- anding offer -- author radio personality mark levin will take your calls and questions in depth, live for three hours starting at noon eastern. tv's tv in death -- book in-depth. >> we want to know what your favorite books were in 2013. join other readers to discuss notable books published this year. go to book tv.org and click on book club to enter. >> senator tom coburn released his annual report on what he calls wasteful f

of always wanted to ask. microphone gives you the license to talk about things you don't always get to talk about and ask questions you don't always get to ask. people, it is kind of a sacred experience. a tributeody, it is to the facilitators 50,000 interviews, it is a positive experience. i think if storycorps has changed me in the last 10 years, i think it is many much more hopeful. the facilitators always say when they come off the road, if you ask them what they've learned, one is they will tell you if you think you can judge someone by how they look or dressed, if you think you can judge their interior life, you're always going to be wrong. the other thing they say is people basically are good. i think there's truth to that. you would not know it from watching 24-hour news and reading the tabloids, but there's something to it. >> let's go to this couple. >> this is a very recent story. is a recentman who immigrant. she is a housekeeper in charlotte, north carolina. she cooks dinner every other saturday
