i actually started working with dialysis patients in the bronx new york. most of the patients seemed to struggle with similar psycho social issues, stress, poverty, under achieving education, under employment and at that time i thought perhaps the issues can be explained because of the environment of north bronx, new york. then i continued with my work with dialysis patients and started to see the same thing from all economic backgrounds. there were family and brothers and sisters on dialysis. i think and dr. wiel started to say about this that is what is unique is the average person with this disease doesn't necessarily look sick. some of their catheters are covered with clothing. it's wonderful to have these technologies with dialysis. but those modality will be replaced at 10-15 percent of kidney function. you are not getting 100 percent. even though they are getting these wonderful technology with great treatment, at best their bodies are functioning at 15 percent with the general population. as the doctor mentioned, the biggest is fatigue and -- and d

in new york city alone there is 20,000-dollar to $30,000 gap in teachers in salaries between the bronx and staten island because the bronx hires more new teachers and there is a higher turnover. what we should be doing is provide incentives for experienced teachers with a track record of effectiveness to work in high need areas and pay them for to do so. those policies have impact on academic outcome. >> let's would we see outcomes that are very different if we go into high poverty light areas in east tennessee or the northern counties of maine or counties in west virginia that have very low per pupil spending? >> what i can say is that at ldf we litigate a fair number of cases in the south. i can tell you when we're in these school districts oftentimes we see the same disparities even when the entire district is a title one district or poor district. when we look at predominantly african-american school and predominantly white school we can see disparities on the surface even the facilities look wholly different. when we talk about resources such as text books they are also different.

new york city parents are in right now because of an outbreak of measles. as of tuesday, 20 cases have been reported in manhattan, brooklyn, and the bronx. 's not just new york. california's department of public health confirmed 32 cases of measles so far this year. saying, "we can expect to see more imported cases of this vaccine-preventable disease." let me say that again. vaccine-preventable disease. in other words, we vaccinate for a reason. as the cdc points out, measles was declared eliminated from the u.s. 14 years ago. so why have we seen an uptick in measles outbreaks? because more people are choosing not to vaccinate their kids which might have something to do with the other purveyors of anti-scientifics, jenny mccarthy and others like her jumping on their soapboxes to pedal nonsense and scaring parents away from vaccinations. >> i do not believe that vaccines are the sole cause for autism. i do believe they are a trigger. i vaccinated my baby and he stopped speaking. why won't anyone believe us? >> isn't the problem here, jenny, that people who listen with one ear are going to panic and not vaccine at all? >> probably, but gues
