consulate helped find jacob boone quickly. a 2-year-old was shot in a parked car this afternoon. the car was parked along 60th avenue and mcarthur boulevard. the shooting happened a little after 3:00 this afternoon. crews rushed the toddler to the hospital for treatment. and we're awaiting an update of the condition of the 2-year-old at this point. another toddler was shot and killed in oakland just 10 days ago in a drive by shooting. carlos navo was shopping with his family on august 10th when he was hit by a stray bulletnoc toddler was injured in a hit and run today. a 5-year-old boy was crossing the street this morning at silver avenue near el mira street right by the silver terrace playground. when a car hit him and sped away. the boy was rushed to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. the driver is described as an hispanic male. the car is described as light green and late '80s hatchback. anyone with information call the san francisco police department. >>> tens of thousands of striking workers from verizon plan to return to work tuesday despite an ongoing contract

jacob boone finally called his mom from a phone in the park. he said he was okay, his disappearance was a long story and he would call the family again when he gets out of the park in a couple days. the family and stanford students launched a massive facebook campaign to help locate him. through facebook they found a malaysian student at stanford whose father works in the prime minister's office. this connection helped find jacob boone so quickly. >>> it is back to school at many public and private schools throughout california. at san jose state, it's a frustrating time for many students who thought they had a spot in the dorms and now have to stay at a hotel instead. 90 students were notified in mid july they would be moved into a hotel three miles from campus to make room for the influx of incoming freshman. a new rule implemented by the school requires freshman who graduated from high schools more than 30 miles away, must live in campus dorms. so it's returning students, sophomores and above who are staying at the hotel and many say it's ve

that's what daniel boone wore. he was on the frontier with this fringe the outfit and had a fife made for him at tiffanies and ivory handles on his guns. imagine daniel boone going to tiffanies to order a knife, you know, but this is roosevelt. one cowboy said roosevelt was a slim fellow dressed in the exaggerated story in which newcomers effected. needless to say when you roam with guys with guns and knives, you don't want to be a tenderfoot. he established himself as a man among men. these were lawless armed men. chances to priewfs himself popped up again and again, and he did it well. arguably the most important incident, i talk about several interactions with people, but the most famous is the one is in montana. he road around looking for lost horses, and checked into a hotel, went into the saloon, and he was confronted by a man with a gun in each hand who was drunk shooting holes into the saloon clock and intimidating people in the bar and forcing them to buy drinking. he called him four eyes and told him to b

i was of course for him a major symbol because that is what daniel boone were. he had this fringed outfit and had a nice meet for him at tiffany's and guns he had ivory handles on with this initial cards and one. you can imagine tina boone going to tiffany's to order knife, but this is roosevelt. someone cowboy when they met at this time said roosevelt was a slam, and any make young fellow and the exaggerated style which newcomers affected in ways the rank tenderfoot. when you're running around with a bunch of guys, you probably don't want to be ranked tenderfoot. so roosevelt had to establish himself as a man among men and these were lawless unarmed men. chances to prove himself popped up again and again as you might imagine and proved themselves very well. arguably the most important incident, i talk about several attractions of people, but the most famous one took place in minnesota, montana, where roosevelt stopped in the night after he spent the day riding around looking for love sources. he checked in a hotel in my name is immediately confronted by a man w

that's t boone. i'm going to wrap it up here, but i want to say something about the title, the ripple effect. aside to the reference to water, i chose the title because it's my observation every time we use water, it sets off a series of ripple effects. the consequences that we don't understand and we really don't even think about, and this is true for even the simplest things like washing your hands, watering the lawn, or even using electric power which requires water. if you wash your hands with antibacterial soap, it gets into the water system and guess what? it's antibacterial, killing bacteria, the ending of the food web, and lowers resistance to disease. the herbicides on the lawn lead to cancers in fish and why should we care about that? well, the endocrin system of fish is similar to humans. if we hurt fishes, what are we doing to ourselves? we don't have an answer to that, and scientists are concerned and are doing a big study right now. power require as lot of water whether it's hydropower

it seems like without a boon to be gained, it is just humanitarian, countries are not incentivized to get involved or risk their soldiers. not that i think that the solution is us innovating a muslim country or somehow trying to overthrow government or insert our politics in a sovereign nation, i think our involvement hasted be at a level that is more robust and consistent to make sure the agreement said these countries have made are honored. we have done it before. there is a handbook for. we need to be a part of another coalition. it is hard to raise that when people and not taking oil or minerals or gold. what is there to be gained other than saving lives? tavis: you are an actor-vist. --i've heard and read black i am a black-tivist. tavis: i had not heard that before. when you get a product that talks about humanity, it connects with people. i get how actors connect with issues around the globe. the question is, why is it, or are you hopeful about the world, that you do all of that inde? >> i tried to be hopeful because i have children. we have these discussions that we're having

imagine a scenario where seven years from now we have gone through another business cycle and have had a boon. we have had a new set of policy makers. they have made an adjustment for entirely different reasons. we have seen changes in tax rates and financing strategies even as part of the democrats budget proposal that was vetoed by the governor. there's a proposal to end the triple flip which is a swath of sales tax and property tax revenues which is complicated. the effect of that to have a 2.5% increase to the local sales tax rate would would have been validated. you can see a lot of different scenarios for the reasons that the state is swapping these rates. the thought was from a policy perspective that we don't want to be connected over the long term to this state once we have gone beyond the foreseeable time horizon where we know with the incentives are and a set of decisions behind them. we will have 8 different administration. we're concerned about creating a measure that would tie their hands together in the future. those are some of the reasons. this is a good question. there is no

most economists have said if we could simplify the tax code we could have a boon, some believe as much as five trillion in terms of getting investment back for job creation. to me that would be one thing we could put on the table that democrats and republicans can agree with that will create revenue. at the same time it spreads the tax code out in a more equitable fashion. we spend 170 billions a year for tax compliance trying to figure out what we owe uncle sam. >> neil: it is a mess congressman, thank you. >> this development out of s&p has actually spurred political charges back and forth. this is unusual. we are going to hear from one presidential candidate, herman kwaepb who says a lot of people have to -- herman cain, who says a lot of people have to go. beginning with the treasury secretary. m halle berry, and as a new mom, i can tell you that childhood is a magical time. but for children with diabetes, life is not quite so carefree. the barbara davis center for childhood diabetes is fighting hard to find a cure. know the signs: irritability, excessive urination, weight loss. if

four i knew probably these children are commendable but others are only so much of an orphanage and boon to solve the problem of adoption for tearing across them and not only adopted four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee yes the bill can you be i think the problem is the social attitudes towards the children it's not a case of money where an average family all of the state support is really there you just have to love the children themselves. i learned of his fourteen says she was betrayed by her parents and they said. they did then she finally found a secure group in the home we were always just a part of the group but here in the family you needed by someone there is not tenderness i'm happy. to just make an effort to connect with the world outside and adoption becomes more widespread in society they'll be more happy endings like this one. hands on me here with you know make up at all over who's a citizen of the hopefully should provide us with the normal person's perspective on adoption all these officials are telling us that the situat

head the yet a bio fuel subsidy is very destructive it's a boon not just for the big big conglomerates but also the. regular corn farmers the united states we have got a huge lobby they benefit from it but i think the more important subsidy is not so much the biofuels but the subsidy the u.s. dollar i mean again the fact that there's so many countries around the world that have to maintain their dollar peg in order to maintain their role in the global monetary system that allows this place and that we're creating here the united states to take root around the world and by by ending that dollar subsidy by allowing american america to create its own inflation have that inflation be to remain at home that will lessen the burden that we're seeing in a lot of these places and that what i mean is taking this hour of the past as a reserve currency if i understand you correctly you're saying that we're all or no longer be made to reserve currency that ends the american hegemony in the world and of ok i think i'd like to go down that path a little bit later here michael fine go to you you know
