we only use that as a last resort. >> today, california state prison corcoran no longer has to resort to such drastic measures to control violence in the shu yard. they close the yards down, and now inmates exercise in walk-alone areas called the cages. but even when officers are able to quell violence, sorting out its cause can be just as difficult. as our crews found out at the spring creek correctional center in seward, alaska. >> slow down. slow down. slow down. >> on the floor over there we need cleanup. >> you really need to respond to me so i know you're all right. let's go a little bit more. okay. okay. >> joel brooks is doing 12 years for assault. his adversary, john slaku is serving a six-year sentence for sexual assault. our cameras were there when officers interrogated them about the fight. >> what was this all about? >> well, he's a rapist, and i was talking to the inmate, in the meal line about it with him. >> you're talking about his crime with another person. >> yeah, yeah. >> okay. >> and i was talking with another prisoner about him being a rapist and he came up to m

when we met brian at ♪ as we sing holy holy holy >>> when we met brian at california state prison corcoranad a pretty good hunch that the origin of his nickname would play a major part in his story. >> my nickname is lefty. never been called lefty, it's because i have one arm. at 18 i was the victim of a drunk driving accident when i was in the air force. >> the other thing that was significant about brian to me was he was the height of irony on a lot of levels. he was a good example as to why you don't want to take justice into your own hands. his crime was that of a vigilante. >> you know being a christian means you don't have to be scared of your past because your sins, no matter how ugly they are, and we have some ugly ones in this room -- >> he is an inmate preacher at the prison's chapel and can trace the ugliest of his sins to a bizarre series of events that began with the loss of his arm. >> after the air force medically retired me, i retired to little rock, arkansas, started selling clothes in the mall. all i thought about all day long was having one arm, being in the big city whe

and the corcoran gallery of art -- we will not go into that story right now. by ernest flagg. the old carnegie library -- this shows, this reorientation that is very, very much taking place in american architecture. one of the things that is important is that many of the architects who did this attended school in paris. they went to paris and studied at the echole de art, at the school of fine arts. american painters and sculptors went there as well. there is a shift that went on in this country. we are still english in many many ways, but artistically paris is the world center of art. so if you are really going to do this, you are going to have to have a little bit of that parisian type of background. study at the echole le bozart, it was free to anybody, as long as you could pass the test and get in. it becomes a big thing for americans to go over. another example, and of course this could go on for hours with examples to put in, is the mcmillan commission for michigan. the senate commission of washington, d.c. park, charles mckinnon was a member of this along with frederick

[laughter] alix: great message. john: i just came from california, dude. [laughter] it is a forecast based on trade data. if you are trying to trade stocks based on forecasting gdp, you need a better model. trade to deficits are often a sign of strength. it means borders want to invest here in the u.s. is a stronger economy than other places. lisa: what it shows me is how interrelated the global economy is and how difficult it will be for the u.s. to move away from its to me was program without some kind of similar cycle overseas. we see this in the bond markets right now. they responded somewhat to this data but yields are continuing their up at march. bond prices are going down largely in response to its going on in eu
