and this is crocker amazon as basketball and open play and le grande half-court. the reason i bring this up, i don't think $250,000 for a one-time expenditure will be enough. this is just one district and there are several districts throughout the city, and i think this is probably a need for annual expenditures which is what i am suggesting for my supervisor and i hope that is also amended when this goes forward as well. also, on the second item, which is the lower crocker area converting the dirt lot: this has been a problematic areas since the soccer fields have gone in. there are cars parking on the right. we would like to see landscaping rather than extended parking, which has been suggested, paving. because there -- mclarens is right on the edge, but if you add more parking there will just be more problems, damaging the sprinklers and the grounds and that is a drain that has been destroyed. so i would prefer whatever the details are, that they include landscaping. thank you. >> thank you. >> catherine. >> now it's afternoon, commissioners. the five-year plan

buyers who are pushed out of the city by high prices can still find a deal in crocker where the median sale price is $590,000. but the weather is going to be the same for all of us. >> absolutely. good morning, everyone, from the top of the news broadcast center where we went in seven of sprinkles which is all we could find from the system coming from the south. a few sprinkles on a wind shield. no measurable rain anywhere at least in our official buckets around the bay area you had to go as far south as king city to find anything significant. san jose shows we are seeing a few breaks in the clouds as the temperatures running in the mid-to-upper 60's well above average. here is a look at live doppler hd you can see it hand raining a lot of it has been evaporated pus of the dry layer at 5,000 feet and you look at this there is a ring around the radar and that means the radar beam is shooting into the clouds and this is not making it out of the clouds. it over evaporates the winds are from the south for better part of the the difficult at 12 miles per hour in san jose. we woke up to a lo

steve crocker, you were involved in something that included payment systems. and whatever. what do you see the future of the internet being, and how would that relate to things like bitcoin that might change the business models? >> in the mid-90s i was involved in a startup. which tried to make it possible to make payments over the internet. the big success of that venture was credit card payments moved over the internet but then into the existing, classic banking system, please and mastercard and so forth, things that we tried to build but did not go so successful were micro payments and checks and other things. and those involved a lot of buzz about bitcoin. i have some concern. i want to say something cautionary about the idea of the exotic new payment systems. we depend entirely upon the stability of the monetary system . if there was something that disrupted that, if a dollar bill taken out of your pocket suddenly became worthless or there was a big inflation, the level of havoc that we would have would be -- would dwarf anything we've seen. the meltdown in 2008 would

i did not know the importance of steve crocker. it starts with steve crocker who is a graduate student at the university of california santa barbara. ucsyou are the first to get these routers, or message processors that were going to be part of the internet. and they thought that the u.s. government and the pentagon and all these people were creating it with todd and how to do it. the research universities just updated it to the graduate students and you became the lead graduate student. tell me the story. >> i didn't know it was going to be important either. [laughter] so as you said, the project which was the seedlings for what became the internet started out as a project to connect to the research site that the defense advanced research agency was already supporting the research at so it was sort of imposed on this existing set of sites. the first four sites were chosen as you said and each of the sites already had a research agenda and a principal investigator who was leading the research and this side project was imposed and b

this is 20 minutes. >> steve crocker, steve case. when i was writing about the birth of the internet we did have al gore here last year so we can get rid of that joke real fast. so really two people who made it happen. i've worked for steve case but i didn't quite realize the importance of that september when aol opens to the internet and lets real people in. and certainly did not know the importance of steve crocker. i am going to start with steve because the open net which is woven into the internet starts with steve crocker who is a graduate student at the university of california santa barbara -- >> ucla. >> and they were the first to get those sort of routers or message processors. were going to be part of the internet and they thought that the u.s. government and the pentagon and all these people who were creating it would tell them how to do it. but they expected the research universities to do it themselves. being research universities, they just delegated to the graduate students, and you became the lead graduate student. te

we get a letter from steven crocker, someone i had never heard of. this was back in the '90s. he sai >> >> so he wrote a letter to explain why but "time" magazine back then be the better and i was arrogant and said we will not print your letter because we have a better source is the and you and the sources tell us they could survive a nuclear attack. i've found it amusing. i went back to the files of "time" magazine. and then it says even the people who were building it did not know we we're doing better and getting funding so you could tell crocker i was on top he was on the bottom he did not know what was happening. but he said you could tell steve bell was a the bottom it says he didn't know what was happening they're both right it is the duty it is distributed a collaborative. cassell connect the network to the computer. they have become big bold things but they became smaller but then eventually you have the personal computer. born in the early 1870's there is a lot of tribes that come together in of bay area people en communes but they believe the tools should be covered

i had coffee with steve crocker one day and i mentioned it to him. he said you can tell steve i was on the bottom, and he was on the top, so he didn't know what was happening. and in some ways they're both right. that the beauty of the internet. it is distributed and collaborative. now in order to make a two revolution happen you had to connect the network to the computer. the computers had become these big old things but the kept getting smaller and smaller, and eventually you have the personal computer. gets boring. it gets born in the early 1970s in a really cool way. a lot of tribed that come together especially in california and the bay area. people are hippies, people with the electric cool laid acid test people in communes and reading the whole earth catalogue too often and believe that at the tools should be controlled by people, not by the government or the pentagon or corporations. the free speech movement at berkeley. a lot of electronic hackers and people from the electronic industry and people trying to hack into the phone company and ri

that's what happened to cecelia crocker. at 4 years old, the sole survivor in a 1987 northwest airlines crash that killed her mother, father, brother and 151 others. she spoke about the long road back in a cnn documentary. >> i remember feeling angry and survivor's guilt, why didn't my brother survive? why didn't anybody? you know, why me? >> reporter: but in the years since cecelia says she has healed and is happy. as for little sailor, released from the hospital today, miraculously with just minor cuts and scrapes. the family saying tonight "we are devastated by this loss, but confident they rest in god's loving arms." federal investigators are now on the ground in kentucky. they say it will take at least two days to comb through the crash site, but, cecilia, today was especially difficult because of bad weather. >> a remarkable story, gloria, thank you. abc news aviation consultant colonel steve ganyard joins us now from washington. steve, this plane was less than ten miles from the nearest airport. so what could have pos

joining us former ambassador to iraq and iran and almost every other country ryan crocker. good to see you, sir. >> good to see you greta. >> ambassador what do you make -- are we fussing about nothing over whether we call taliban terrorist or not or is this significant in your mind? >> i think it's significant to americans. it's significant to me. we have designated one part of the taliban network the haqqanis as terrorists. the department of the treasury has since 2002 labeled the entire taliban terrorists sternly cold blooded act of the murder. whether we label them terrorists or not is not going to change what they do. that's what we need to be focused on. stopping them before it gets worse if they are not called terrorists. if the obama administration wants to call them something else and if they are going to convince the rest of america people trying to kill us in airports are not terrorists does not give them cover to deal with them. we don't deal with terrorists. if we don't call them terrorists even they though they are trying to kill us suddenly do things not able

we asked steve crocker -- he and steve crocker were interviewed at this year's washington ideas for. -- forum. you became the lead graduate student, tell me the story. >> i didn't know it would be important either. as you said, the arpanet project which was the seedling for what became the internet was connected to the research site. it was something they could not turn down because that's where the money was coming from and so the first sites were chosen as you said and each of those site already had a research agenda head of civil investigator who was leading the research and this side project was imposed and that delegated down to the grad student. the hard-core part of the router and the wires going online was done through formal contracting process. it was left quite open and undefined, what to do with this thing. how to connect computers to the routers and what they should say to each other. a handful of graduate students got together and started having freewheeling discussions and we knew that we did not know basically. we what it to be look to move a file from one waste to an

ambassador crocker and general petraeus came back from the surge and basically said two things.irst of all, the surge has been incredibly successful militarily. but it has not made as much political progress as we need. so they called for a diplomatic surge. we built the largest u.s. embassy in the world in baghdad. but then we left it half full. >> yeah. and with a new prime minister there, hopefully things are going in the right track. i guess time will tell. >> you know, he's saying the right things but we need to see results. >> i would agree. now, there's a growing debate about the white house's refusal to discuss radical islam and terrorism. they won't even use the phrase. now we're seeing criticism from the left too. your colleague, another iraq war veteran, called it disturbing and frustrating. is there a problem with white house being too sensitive to address the real issue here? >> i think the issue is that we've -- look we've got to have a strategy. congresswoman gabbert, who serves with me on the house armed services committee and is really becoming a good friend and

need and it's also obvious when the president did not leave a resid residual force behind as ryan crockerbob xwaets and leon pa net ta said we could have that was the sem mole moment that led to the situation we're in today, the largest terrorist organization in history, so i appreciate eric holder keeping an eye on people that come and go but the fact is as long as the incubeiator is there we're going to have people who are going to try to do what they did in paris a few days ago. >> senator, before i ask you another question, i want to point out to our viewers what they're seeing on the screen which is a picture now of all the world leaders, more than 50, who are linking arms and are marching in unity against terror down the streets of paris. it's quite an astonishing view you see, angela merkel there with hollande. let me get back to you, senator, on this. if you put boots, if you put intelligence on the ground how does that stop what attorney general holder called the lone wolves the folks who are being radicalized over the internet as senator feinstein was talking about, those people

. >> steve crocker. i have been listening, and i understand the passion. let's imagine all the constraints come off. the legislation passes, economic restraints, and so forth. all this information sharing. i think allen's question toward the end, i would ask more poignantly. what is all this legislation, all the capabilities going to do to prevent __ i do not quite see how the pieces connect. suppose the company has given all the authority to do whatever it wants to do, what in fact is to be done? sure all the information you want, sony still gets wiped off the map. >> again, this was the biggest myth that we cannot get over when we were debating the legislation the last couple years. the nsa does not monitor private networks in the united states. i know that comes as a shock to most. they are not monitoring private sector networks. it is against the law. they do not do it. that is 85% of the networks. so, they come back with some pretty interesting stuff. by the way, the private sector can share with you. that is really important. when they see anomalies,

>> steve crocker. i have been listening and i understand the passion. but let's imagine that all those constraints come off. the legislation passes, economic constraints and so forth, and we do this information sharing. i think ellen's question toward the end i want to ask again more pointedly. sony was vulnerable, north korea had the tools to attack, what is all this legislation going to do to prevent that? i don't quite see how the pieces connect. suppose the government is given all the authority to do whatever it wants to do. what in fact is there to be done? you are sharing all the information you want, sony still gets wiped off the map. >> again, this was the biggest myth we couldn't get over when we were debating our legislation the last couple years. the nsa does not monitor private networks in the united states. i know that comes to a shock to most. they are not monitoring private sector networks. it is against the law. they don't do it. that is 85% of the networks. so with all of this capability that we have invested in to protect ourselves, th

and the problems we're having, i was at a session with ambassador crocker two weeks ago and he was talking about the problems for instance, in pakistan and going back to the pressler amendment. and the damage that did with us. my friend former ambassador watch fowler to saudi arabia, very close friend of the saudi royal family says their concerns about the way we treated the shah of iran after he left, the way we treated mubarak even though he had problems. and again, we find for instance in so com the issue of the leahy amendment. the political correctness on trying to vet people. your comments on those kinds of problems. >> well trust really comes down to credibility. and one of the criticisms i have of this administration is that i don't think when they came into office they understood that credibility is the currency of national security policy. it's not the aircraft carriers, the f-22s, the marines. they're all an important part. but at the heart of it all the other countries have to believe you mean what you say. especially this is true if you are the world's hegemon. if you're guate
