and lo and behold tony serra walks into my court representing the defendant. i couldn't imagine why he was there for a simple misdemeanor assault case, but he was. and i thought, boy, this is just my luck. here i've got this famous tony serra, he's renown, he's in the press all the time, he has had a movie made about him, and i bet he's an arrogant jerk, and i get him. first trial he's going to make me look really bad. and this poor d.a., we're just going to look terrible. well, lo and behold tony serra comes in. he's a wonderful gentleman. he's gracious. he knows i've never tried a case to a jury. he knows that the d.a. has tried two cases to a jury. he guided us through this trial. he put on a fabulous show, as is his want, which was instructional and very, very interesting. he never took advantage of my inexperience or the d.a.'s experience. and by the end of the day when that trial was over -- of course, he won. but nobody on that jury would have ever suspected that i had never tried a case to a jury or that the d.a. had not had any experience, virtually,

behold the bearded beauty.e went to the reality show's premiere party to learn more and shave less. >> greg at the whisker awards premiere at the blind barber. in the spirit of the event, vinot shaved in over two weeks. not too shabby. hey, tom o'connor, what are you doing here? >> thanks, bill. actually, greg said that your approach, like your beard is [bleep] so he sent me to make sure we didn't get laughed out of the joint. as a matter of fact, i tracked our progress over the last two weeks just to show everyone how much i beat you. >> bill, i don't know if we did so well. >> they asked me if i had mange. i'm 35 years old and five of those years i had gone through pubertie. >> we vey similar problem. we can't grow facial hair on our cheek. >> you and me? >> sweet ass kicker and this guy have been named in the same sentence. >> are you sure? >> tell me about the freestyle category. >> that has a lot to do with hair spray and spending time and practicing. i use beer cans as rollers. >> big red -- where did tha

and lo and behold, we discovered, had a certain point in a community, when everyone is giving, -- people began to have experiences that were revelatory. they began to feel like they were in touch with that unconditional reality, which perhaps in their youth they identified as their life's goal. it creates a world in which -- just saturated with meaningful encounter. and it seems to have been contagious because people have now left our event and they have left our world and they continued to do activities. they did not go to a festival and say their appetite. they came back and tried to change their world. that is why we are starting this burning man project. we think there is a law that we can do together. try it sometime. try living for eight days without buying, selling, listening to an ad, and tell yourself, disco to give things to people. see what that is like. it is quite remarkable, the effect it has. i could go on forever about this. it is quite a novelty. we do not say that you can live like that all the time, but going back to my original criticism of society. we are going to mo

and, behold, all things have become new. and the new you comes out. so unless a change has taken place on the inside, then this won't matter. the only thing will happen, if you haven't changed on the inside, the only thing that will happen today is you'll just get wet. you need to take off your shoes and your socks. >> amen? not to just smile. >> get in. face that wall. sit down. exactly. there you go. come back here. bring your body over here. cross your arms. praise god. sherman, in obedience and the commands of jesus christ and all your professional faith, my brother, we do now baptize you in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirigspirit.. amen. amen, praise god. you need to get up. amen. >> amen. >> praise god. >> there you go. amen. amen. >> all right. >> amen. >> it felt good. i can't remember the last time i was in water like that. >> you have to always hold out hope and especially in a place like this. giving up -- giving up is the worst thing you would want to do. there are different ways of dying. you don't have to die physicall

great sand dunes a national park, and they thought they had everything safe and secure when low and behold, a oil and gas exploration company called lexam, based in canada, and their partners conoco phillips revealed that they had senior water rights meaning they had the oldest water rights for a very ceo ecologicallycepstive area in the -- sensitive area in the new wildlife preserve down there, and that they had the right to go in and drill, and this caused a huge uproar, but they were right. they legally had the right, but there's ban lot of wheeling and dealing, and the last i heard about this they -- the water rights have been purchased by the state or the feds, and they are now officially off the table and lexam i think, has gone away for now, but your family has a long history of dealing in the west. .. >> what does this main? is there a future for the sauntered printers to one to privatize water? zero our our way now environmentally aware enough paying careful enough that those guys 95 we in business for long? >> one change that has happened over the last 40 years that we tend to pr

it is all in the eye of the beholder, particularly if you live there it is just not safe. that says a lot about what we need to do in terms of enforcement. we have great loss on the book. but if they're not getting in forced, -- we have great laws on the book, but if they're not getting in forced. we need to improve that area. >> let's talk about crime. how do you think the police department is doing? how do you think the city is addressing the issue of crime? >> the way we have been handling it is a marked improvement from where we were 10 years ago. the notion of community policing is instilled within the department. talking to the merchants associations and neighborhood groups, i felt that the connections between those organizations and the police is vastly improved. that provides a sense of safety. it is almost the same as a foot patrol officer walking the beat. knowing that you can contact your captain or surgeon and they will be responsive is a critical piece of the notion of well being and being safe. our department has done a very good job on that over the last few

. >> reporter: it was too horrible to behold. inconceivable that someone would blow up a federal building filled with hundreds of people going on with their routine lives. 19 of them children at a day care center. >> it was real terrible. i started pulling baby, babies were under this, under that. it was awful. >> reporter: a surveillance tape showed a ryder truck like this one parked in front of the center. a truck filled with an explosive mixture of fertilizer and gas. two days after the bombing, a break. authorities identified this man decorated gulf war veteran timothy mcvay as a suspect. a state trooper stopped mcvay because he didn't have a tag on his car. the trooper saw mcvay was armed and arrested him. authorities made the link. investigators describe mcvay as a member of a right wing militia. a man angry at the federal government for the death of the waco stand off. mcvay was at the scene a few weeks before it's fierily culmination. and quotes him about the federal government conspiritorial take. that led to an armed ra

the results are fearsome to behold. here's abc's dan harris. >> reporter: hurricane irene may have finally disintegrated and left the scene, b b she has still left her mark. >> here it comes. >> reporter: in vermont of all places she was unexpectedly devastating. they haven't seen floods like this in over half a century. the waters tearing through homes and bringing down those old historical bridges. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: the floodwaters even got into local fire departments here. >> the water level got right here. >> reporter: in some areas here in the catskills mountains of new york, flooding was truly out of control. >>>>t's starting to come up high on the porch. >> things are r rlly bad. >> reporter: then there's the philadelphia/new jersey area where i spent the last 24 hours. a creek that runs through the middle of town jumped its bank, overran these railroad tracks and created this water fall right into these two cars. this, by the way, is an auto repair shop that has taken some serious damage. then the wate

and lo and behold, sarah palin shows up, kicking off the midwestern leg of this bus tour that grabbedmuch attention this spring. she talked to reporters for over an hour. there were all kinds of well-wishers, too. don lemon caught up with palin and asked, are you trying to steal the spotlight from some of these other candidates. >> i don't think i'm stealing the spotlight. very thankful to have been invited to the state fair. >> reporter: palin says she's not stealing the spotlight. but she's a very canny politician. she knows she can command such attention and that every reporter in the political universe was out here in iowa and all the television cameras were as well. but she wasn't just grabbing headlines. she was doing quiet meetings with a few activists around the site in case she does decide to run. she says if she does jump in the race, it will be at some point in december. but she still has to chew it over with her husband and her family. >> that's interesting because we've seen this scene before. she just happened to be kind of in the neighborhood when mitt romney was announ

if you ever had a chance to see him in court, it's just a sight to behold. it really is. we're so grateful that he could be here today.

and lo and behold, every word of what our clients were telling us were true. two four two. the videos are just a small sample of what some would say is clearly a culture or pattern. and i do want to say that even in my short tenure as defense attorney, i agree with stuart. there are so many good officers, but there are cultures that develop within certain units. i will put it right out there. many of the complaints we hear it involve plainclothes units, and perhaps there is a culture that develops and allows misconduct to happen and continue to happen. so, the public defender's role is unique and natural and i am confident that had we not been doing our jobs with respect to those brought residents of the henry hotel, those would never have surfaced and perhaps the officers would never have had to answer for that conduct. [applause] >> i would like to ask a question and anybody can answer this. you brought up this culture that sends to -- seems to bring it misconduct on. what is it about this culture that makes some cops go bad or road? are the temptations so great because y
