for a balcony, what you would expect to see is half inch tempered glass. and that's really not very expensive. and but the thing there is, you're going to have to probably do it in pieces so that, in case one of those pieces broke, you'd still have that handrail that goes across the top of that, keeping you back so that you aren't falling over with the broken glass. >> right. and the code talks about other types of protection. you can't just have a single piece of glass, without some other type of protection, and it's in this handout that you have here. >> that code may change with the advent of special materials. eventually, we will come and say -- and it's been supplied in different cities, where we take a century -- it's called century guard, whereas there is this piece of plastic in between a couple of pieces of one eneeled, and one heat treated and the other tempered, so that even if it broke it stays together and stays rigid. so there really isn't reason then for that top handrail. >> the building code in san francisco says that we can approve produc

just like on the balcony i could not tell if his mom was serious.in any discussion about the conflict, sarcasm and sincerity were close friends. as the meal wound down i could take shallow breaths, a full stomach encroaching on my lungs room for air. i dreamed of a couch to lie on but along came dessert, watermelon and cantaloupe and strange fruit i did not recognize. what is that? jeff asked. prickly pear. we call it sabra. it is the informal name for is really because they were prickly and tough on the outside from years of toil in the desert but remains weak on the inside. i tried one. a fruit's flush with sugary. the seeds were difficult to get rid of. you could chew and swallow them but they went down rough. you could spend them out with everyone watching it was awkward. sort of like the israelis themselves. after the meal everyone reclined lethargically in the living room which was the same space as the kitchen and dining area. the cardinals game was running on the tv providing ambient background stimulation. a modern-day fireplace. when it wa

yesterday i was just leaning over the balcony, an internal balcony looking over the atrium of the hotel and one of the gunman looked up and shouted up at me. i suppose you're happy now, you journalists, now that libyans are killing libyans. >> just listening there to matthew chance speaking with colleen mcedwards a little more than an hour ago. we go now go to matt on the line from the hotel. matt, has there been any changes in your circumstances in the last hour or two? >> reporter: no. it's still very quiet. we're still kind of upstairs in the hotel. the hotel still seems pretty abandoned of the gunman we heard earlier. the perimeter of the hotel still has gunmen armed people on the outside of it. we're still not able to go out. in fact, one television crew from london tried to go out and they were told to go back in sort of at gunpoint. it became quite hostile at one point. but it ended amicably. nevertheless, those are the kinds of restrictions we're under still. we still can't leave the hotel even though there is no government officials, no government in the lobby as such. but the

. >> some guy was on the balcony of his frat house. he was yelling saying come on over here, it will be very fun. one of my friends said, oh, yeah let's go. problems could also lead to crimes. >> classes will run through mid- may. >>> they say amos key the in -- a mosquito was collected and tested positive for west nile virus. they are asked to get rid of standing water where mott -- mosquitoes can breed. >> they are stepping up to help struggling parks. due to state budget cuts this is one of 70 parks scheduled to be shut down. now a local oyster company has cooked up a plan and they want to put more picnic tables and assume responsibility for maintaining the area. >> we would put some picnic tables and chairs back there. we would clean the toilets, put a bigger trash can in. >> the park foundation said they are getting renewed interest and some are worried it will make it too commercialized. they are worried it will actually damage the parks. >>> a bit chilly right around the bay and also here in san francisco with quite a bit of ove

looking over the balcony now, the debris, the siding, the insulation now lingering in the dunes and the grounds here at this hotel. that's just giving you an idea of how abruptly things can change in a hurricane, you can stand in a spot, you can get used to the hard winds that are coming through, but then all of a sudden it ramps up so quickly and then something starts to break and fall apart, flying through the air than's when things really get dangerous out here, so needless to say, we moved upstairs to this balcony where we do have shelter from the wind that's going on. but at this point, we have the toughest wind, we're seeing the most pounding surf that we have seen from this hurricane so far and it's all heading that way to the northeast, where we now find gary tuchman up on long island because it is coming your way. >> that's right, david, we have seen it, we know it's coming, this is the beautiful city of new port, rhode island, the smallest state in the country. a small state that's going have some problems, as you see where david is, in this state, in this city, people know th

less than a week later, he would be assassinated while standing on the balcony of a hotel in memphis. >> i'm still wrestling with my own difficulties. one day i was on the phone with jim about something or another and i said to him, how do you feel about that. how have you felt about that? he probably picked up what irish try to struggle with. -- what i was trying to struggle with. he said, what is clear to me was that martin wanted to come to memphis. i said, when i first called to invite him, he was in a staff meeting. i could hear the voices just booming on to the telephone, tell me you cannot come. martin, we have too much to do. he said, martin paid no attention. he said, let's are rented. that told me that i was not coercing him, i was not forcing him, it was not me primarily. he needed to stand with them. i do not take that on my own shoulders, vincent. that was a kind of burden off of my shoulders but i know that is what martin wanted and needed to say. if he was willing to go up against them, then it was a privilege for me to go with him. tavis: despite the negative reaction,

right in the front row of the balcony. tell me why it is we don't lift our voices these days and cry over what is happening? have you noticed the plans are made for iraq and the icecap is melting? i say to myself go on, cry. what's the sense in being an adult and having no voice. cry out. see who will answer. this is call and answer. you know what that is. we will have to call especially loud to reach our angels who are hard of hearing, they are hiding in the jugs of silence filled during our wars. he was think of grenada. everybody had forgetten in 1983. why did we do that? no body remembers. have we agreed to so many wars we can't escape from silence. if we can't lift, we allowed others who are ourselves to rob the house. we'd listen to the great criers, poe and douglass, and now we are silent as spar rows in the little bushing. then robert pauses to say it's a bad pun, but i left it in. we're sold as the sparrows. some masters say our life only lasts seven days. where are we in the week? is it thursday yesterday? hurry.

it was from this balcony that gadhafi used to come to address large, cheering crowds. what a different perspective he would have today. it's ransacked, but hints survive of how he lived and how his glory faded. >> this is one of gadhafi's in suite bathrooms, a jacuzzi tub, obviously all the lights are out. but here is his bedroom, and under all this debris was gadhafi's bed. and 20 feet below, an extensive network of bunkers. people here say gadhafi used these tunnels to move across the city and he may have even used them to escape during the assault. there's a full command and control center here. these are lists of media organizations, cnn, abu dhabi. there is an exit here, a small little porthole that leads outside. the network of tunnels extends for miles. our colleague stephanie gosk saw more. >> there's electricity, there are telephones, it's even wide enough for golf carts that gadhafi used to rides around all the time. it's not clear if he used this one, but he will not be using one any time soon. these stairs lead up from the tums, it must lead up somewhere in

i have moved furniture off my balcony.er than that, that is about it. >> thousands have been evacuated. a state of emergency has been declared. is there a sense of panic? >> not at all. everybody is very calm. we have extreme weather on the island, from tropical storms to nor'easters. we are prepared for this kind of thing. everyone is quite calm,. but we have not had a hurricane on the island since the 1930's. what happens on saturday and sunday, everything could change. >> that's right. as you said, the hurricane is not expected to arrive until saturday or sunday. if what are the conditions like now? >> at the moment is very quiet. we have a bit of rain coming in from the west. but it is very warm and humid as usual. it is business as usual at the moment. not expecting anything catastrophic just yet. >> we will leave it there. in other news, reports from india say the government is prepared to hold a parliamentary debate on a strong anti- corruption law. the debate is expected to take place in india pose the lower half o

francisco bay as a natural ampitheater for america's cup they are covering the orchestra but not the balconies. things that happen on the shoreline is affecting the city. i live about as far away from the waterfront as you can get and four of the five bus lines serving my neighborhood serve the waterfront. if we do not take care of the transportation problem it is going to have a ripple effect. the other issue is, and it is a short timeline for this document. i understand that we are trying a new way of doing things. a lot of the mitigation is contained in other documents. difficulty is after months of wondering and questioning and ising we do not understand what the approval process is for those plans. who says the plan is done? it seems clear that there is a mitigation for this document is going to be contained in the other plans that you are the one to have final approval on them. i think that you should clarify that and assure that takes place. thank you very much. >> thank you. public comment is closed. commissioner miguel. >> yes. particularly concerning the federal land i just want to m

which is a nice theatre and they were doing roamioand juliette and there was me in the middle of a balcony. it was a nice audience when i walked in my brain was exat that timic, look at the people here. it's almost as good as last years. i said who did you choose last year. and the year before. and told me. i said do you realize they are dead already? >> i'm alive and shouldn't i pull in a little more? [laughter] to go off, thank you for coming. >> my pleasure. i just this month read your book dreaming water. and i was -- i'm very glad to have read it. i'm wondering 2 things. there seems to be more of an advocacy voice in terms of the discrimination of being you know an asian american. and secondly, warner's disease. i'm wondering how you got into writing about that? and the characters were wonderful. >> okay. your first question, first. you know to be totally honest, when i sat down to write dreaming water i thought this is the book that -- i had finished language of threads and written 4 books that took place in asia. because language of threads was a hate this word, the seekial to women

king was assassinated on that balcony in mississippi, died with 75% of the american people turned against him according to the last harris poll, almost 57% of his own people, black folk, had turned against him because of his vietnam position. dr. king famously said, "or is the enemy of the port -- war is the enemy of the poor." we're still engaged in war. is it were still the enemy of the poor? >> it is the poor society that fought the war in iraq, fighting the war in afghanistan. it is the experts that the clear the war. that is like a civil war. the great robber barons of the 19th century, carnegie, rockefeller, they bought their way out of war. they hired, paid about the any way, for pure people -- for poor people, working people to fight in their place. i was not in the white house when martin luther king made that speech. it was in april of 1968 when he made that speech at riverside church in which he came out strongly. i am told by the people who remained at the white house that lyndon johnson was vitriolic and bitter about that, because he thought it would undermine his cause, unde

this is theiss on the balcony of his hotel in the bahamas. a safe bet he's one of the few people on the continent right now trying to get closer to irene. >> this wind and rain combined is absolutely ferocious to stand outside in front of. >> reporter: but this is how he makes his living. when mother nature acts up -- he's there to take her picture. what are your observations of irene so far? >> i'm really, really concerned with the outer banks. that, to me, is where the worst part is going to happen. i've seen this before, but i think thth one might be the real deal. >> reporter: you don't have to take his word for it. just look at his pictures and you know theiss knows the real deal when he sees it. during hurricane charley in 2004, mike parked himself outside this gas station in charlotte harbor, florida, and documented some of the strongest winds ever caught on video. winds up to 155 miles per hour. how do you stay safe? >> i don't just go to an area and just wing it. i have to kind of understand the area and what's going on. >> reporter:

having said that, about two hours ago i was leaning on the balcony overlooking the interior courtyardf the hotel. and one of them sidled up to me, he said i suppose you're happy now, aren't you, you journalists. i asked him what he meant. he was referring to the fact that rebels have made all these gains and have obviously taken control of gadhafi's compound. and so there is still a sort of little bit of hostility towards us, a little bit in which -- sense in which gadhafi loyalists have basically regarded the international media as being on the rebels' side in this conflict, even though that's obviously not the case. we're just strictly here trying to report the government's -- gadhafi's side of things in this conflict. but obviously we're doing that in a very restricted circumstances. we've asked, of course, to get out of the hotel. we're not happy being here anymore for our own security. but that's not something that the authorities in control of this hotel are prepared at this point to let us do. we hope that will change soon. >> i heard earlier on the air you saying that you felt

"she got out of bed this morning," said her mother, "and the bullet hit her." it took six hours to free up an operating room for a desperate try at saving a child who had no part in this war, only the misfortune to get in its deadly, random path. barry petersen, cbs news, tripoli, libya. the winningest basketball coach ever faces her toughest opponent. the photographer who captured some of the most enduring images in american history. and a sneak peek at the new 9/11 memorial, when account the cbs evening news" continues. >> pelley: researchers may have found a new way to detect early warning signs of alzheimer's disease. in a new stud
