that's not uncomfortable enough, inside each one of those people is also a tooth pick, tweezers and a corkcause-- they're swiss and are multifunctional. you are probably asking, what happens if he needs his money right away. it's in swiss people's colons and they are notoriously constipated people. (laughter) -- mucili you say, no t will take too long. mitt romney plays a game he calls swiss pinata and he doesn't even wear a blindfold where is the fun if that, i'm saying when mitt romney needs money quickly he beats a swiss person until they break open. at least according to the tax papers we have. i'm sure if there is anything else we need understand about the financial situation, they'll let us know. well's be right back.

they said court in san -- said cork and sand. how reasonable the is project alternatives? >> would we went to the task force process in 2008, one of the objectives was to continue researching alternatives for synthetic turf infield products. -- infill products. there were seven or eight projects out there, some natural, some manufactured. the lot had not been tried and tested in the marketplace, especially the united states. there is a lot of technology in europe that is evolving. the track record here and there had not proven itself to us yet. we have been maintaining the synthetic turf with robert because it is a tried and true process. it is a safe product. we want to be ahead of the curve, where possible. people have talked about other municipalities and agencies, for instance, new york. new york has a substantially larger program and we have, with hundreds of fields in their system. i spoke to one of the commissioners. they are not using rubber any longer. it is not because they do not feel it is safe. they are putting material down and throwing it away when it is don

for romney and inadvertently the author made his own point for himself by demonstrating how it would cork. not once in the article did the author do what you did, chris, and call this what it is, a lie. he did not explain the context of barack obama's remarks. he said only that critics would allege that mitt romney was twisting barack obama's -- he's not an allie. critics will allege that because it's true. we'll have to see whether mitt romney will be in the getaway as you put it, very aptly lying about what barack obama says. >> i think in normal conversation you wouldn't along with the president much longer. every time you said something about him, they took out two sentences and dumped them or make a point you never made. >> i go back to this, they are going for the fresh meat out there. the voter who has not paid attention and the owner worried about the other guy because he is a politician. >> losing the comedy is bad. both sides will be disappointed that barack obama has not done something better. some argue he saved us from the depression but it's not where we want to be. the ads

whether that is cork or sand or carpet pad. there are four others that are not toxic. supervisor olague: you mentioned the 15,000 watts of additional light would have severe impact and the eir does not adequately address that issue. kennedy more specific on how you felt -- can you be more specific on how you felt the eir was not adequate enough in that respect? >> this project would put 60 foot tall white standards, 10 of them with 150,000 watts of lighting. that is 60 feet, is six stories high so it would dwarf the mid -- windmills and trees. the irs concludes the lighting is insignificant which is an absurd in an area that is a dark sky area. it is pitch black out there except for the beach alley itself. we hired lighting expert lumino consulting. they concluded the eir failed to consider fog scatter impact spread when light hits fog, it scatters in all directions. the city has proposed to reduce the light impact by putting blinders around the lights to direct the light downward. kind of like a laser beam but not quite as focused. when the light hits the fog, it scat

. >> mar corks couple of questions for you. 90% of people should have their power back by 11:00 friday night. a lot of people not impressed with that, marcus, given that the neighbor, virginia power, is saying that 85% of its customers will have power back by tuesday. why are they able to get people back on line by tuesday and it is going to take until 11:00 friday night? >> i can't speak for our neighboring utilities, but i can tell what you we're doing. we've pulled in external crews to assist with the restoration effort. again, that 90% target, that's an estimated restoration point. the farther that we get into? restoration process, the more accurate that our data is going to be. so wednesday we should have an updated estimated restoration time for our customers. and we'll wait until then. >> right. this is going to be ironed out politically and all other kinds of ways later on but let me ask you this. a lot of people are looking for transparency, trying to understand what makes pepco tick and what's your strategy. is it not the strategy of pepco to not have a lot of crews sitting a

even piedmont and san carlos have installed cork to underline their astroturf. san francisco which calls itself the greatest city in america should not be falling behind new york to los angeles, san carlos, and piedmont. the eir is inadequate because it refused to consider those alternatives. the eir could look at the alternatives, priced about my determine what is feasible and with the costs and benefits are but to ignore the alternatives renders the document legally inadequate. i would also like to raise the coastal zone appeal. there is another appeal issue here and that is the coastal permit. this is within the local coastal zone. that means the matter has to be appealed to the board of permit appeals. that is scheduled for august 1. the board of permit appeals may accept or reject the project in which case the action you take today may be much -- the project may be different than what is proposed today. also the coastal commission has written to the city staff claiming the city has "misled the public" about the beach l.a. project. that is strong language. i

center model is made up of of six elementary particles that you mentioned called for each of those corks to have a property of mass they have a certain weight and what we don't understand is why those six quarts have the masses that they have once we take into account that we measure them and we take them at face value we can then run our programs and create a universe so to speak but we don't know the simplest question of why those particles have mass so where does the higgs bosso and fit into that the photon is one of the many theories out there that would ascribe. the proper mass to these particles it's not the only theory but it is perhaps one of the longest lived ones and and one of the most popular because it's relatively simple and and scientists like things that you can fit on the back of teacher so so on and we're getting close now we have to have the tools to know whether it's real so when are saying that is. in its natural state things are just flying around the universe without mass lightspeed but it's when they interact with the higgs most owner what's called the higgs field

some of you went on to learn about corks, that have the best name of all the particles. there are lots more of the teeny, tiny, itty-bitty thing out there and they can only be predicted by mass. this is how physicists work now. physicists come up with equations that seem to describe the way we know the world works, and inside those equations, we learn about the parts of the world that we didn't know were there and how they work and then we hope that some day, some future group of humans with machinery more impressive than what we have will be able to check whether we were right. in 1964, a physicist by the name of peter higgs came up with the idea that there was a kind of cosmic molasses in the universe that we, of course, cannot see, but helps matter stick together to form things like atoms. how it does that, theoretically, mas for terrible television, so i'm not going to tell you. but the particle they're interested in is called the higgs bozon, which has a fancy nickname, the god particle. but some physicists call it the goddamn particle, because as they say, it is so
