leading up to the debate, when residents of columbia voted 60-30. doctor, from the drug policy alliance, working for the passage of 71. and will jones, a movement against marijuana legalization. if d.c. had been able to go the way of colorado and washington, would it have been better for your cause if part argument, is that we as a society can safely introduce these laws? >> absolutely. i think largely they are arguments we articulated in the campaign, that it's a responsible public policy to establish regulations and control the supply of marijuana, this is how you prevent access to youth, how you ensure that the marijuana is safe for consumption, and ultimately it's a way to diminish the public outcry and the negative impact that some who may not necessarily be in favour of marijuana may experience. >> here we are with a less point? >> absolutely, the major point is putting an end to the overwhelmingly bias enforcement of marijuana in the district. as you are aware. the district of columbia has the dubious description of having the highest arrest

the yoga power company has given columbia since last year. the third party research firms missed every bit of that move. now it's a tough gig. i thought deckers was doing better than it was because they came on the show twice with a level of confidence misplaced in light of their numbers. but the trajectories are clear. sales and earnings are going higher and these two latest quarters are pretty much the real deal unlike what the third party research services would have told you about howell they were doing. here's the bottom line wall street is on the wrong side of the trade with these two but if you believe in them like i'm urging you to do you could be on the right side of the investment. sandra in oklahoma sandra. >> hey, jim, a big hello from the state of oklahoma. >> what's going on down there? >> well we're shoveling out some snow but not as bad as the bostonians. >> i know. big snowball fights up there. >> i have a question. i wanted to tweak my portfolio. i'm wanting to add a retail stock. i've been looking at michael kors is that a

the failure of race and planning in the district of columbia. the point i want to make is that there has been particularly once the process of development changed, speeded up so dramatically during and after the civil war in washington, there's always been a struggle between -- social justice would have meant dealing with race relations in the city, the physical city -- we've all seen too many photographs showing a picture of the capital building. in the foreground are a number of these alley houses, mean small, dirty, unsanitary places where poor blacks lived in the alleys all around the capital. this whole idea of a struggle for washington soul -- i'm not sure it has one -- to try to get the balance right. i would say that overall i think that the beauty side, building the magnificent, elegant marble and granite -- mostly just marble -- city that we have today. i think beauty one hands down. -- won hands down. a lot of the changes that it tipped the scales in favor of beauty were put in place in the last half of the 19th century particularly l

the history of ame church in the district of columbia. and the history of the civil war ame churches,. . and the freely of those churches -- theprelate of those churches. the parent church grew out of an anti-segregation protest at the predominantly white st. george's methodist episcopal church in philadelphia in the late 1780's. one sunday, the black members of st. george were told they could no longer occupy pews on the main floor of the sanctuary. henceforth they would have to sit in the balcony. upon hearing this directive, a group of the blacks from st. george's under the leadership overturned allen walked out and formed their own church which they called bethel methodist episcopal church. reverend allen and his group of followers purchased property and constructed a church in philadelphia. it was the first black methodist church in the city. in 1816, reverend allen called a conference of black methodists who were interested in forming an autonomous denomination. delegates came from delaware, new jersey, pennsylvania, and maryland to

it was the same way at columbia when i transferred from harvard to columbia for my third year. columbia had a wonderful placement office but she put up those lists and, again, no one thought about -- that we could complain. >> why did you transfer to columbia? >> marty's third year of law school he had a veerirulent cancer. those were the days when there was no chemotherapy. it was only a huge operation then daily rayy liily radiation. and our daughter, jane, was born 14 months before i started law school. so marty tried to get a job in the boston area and he had a great opportunity in new york. so i did not want to be a single mom. we also didn't know how long marty would live. so, of course we were not going to be separated that last year. so i went to the then dean of the harvard law school. his name is irwin griswald. and said if i successfully complete my third year at columbia, will you give me a harvard degree. and the answer was absolutely not. and i thought i had the perfect rebuttal answer. there was a woman who had been my classmate at cornell. she took her first yea
