davis' family moved south soon after davis' birth. they moved to louisiana and then over to mississippi. davis grew up mostly in mississippi. although, he returned to kentucky a couple times both for educational reasons. he went to boarding school in kentucky and then later to transylvania university in kentucky before going off to the u.s. military academy at west point. lincoln, by contrast, spent about the first seven years of his life in kentucky until his parents moved to indiana, which is where lincoln grew up. he didn't move to illinois until he was 21. below davis, on the mantle, are various things that were made by confederate prisoners of war in union prison camps, out of anything they could find, shells, wood, bones, glass, whatever they could pick up in those northern prison camps. throughout roughly the middle two years of the war, there was a regular prisoner exchange system in place between the union and the confederacy. many confederate prisoners who had been exchanged for union prisoners would come through richmond an

johnston was a year or two ahead of jefferson davis at west pointe and johnson allowed davis to join his set. this was the term they used, we were all in high school, those of us who weren't in high school before the civil war. [ laughter ] it was a click. and this was a heady feeling for young davis, boy from out in mississippi to be allowed into this elite set, it was polk and a few others and davis i think really idolized sidney johnston ever after and thus when he became president of the confederacy his first concern for his military establishment was to make albert sidney johnston his premier, his senior field general, yet this man davis said was his closest friend, he and johnston as i could tell hadn't seen each other more than three times in 20 years so this really is a case of idolizing, i think, rather than anything else. than anything else. it's -- i don't think we know enough. johnston got killed so early in his first battle that we really don't have much of a basis knowing how he was likely to perform later, how good would he be at learning the art of war in this kind of

jefferson davis. >>> any measure by bearing and background and any remotely reliable crystal ball, any american, northern or southern, asked let's say in the spring of 1861 who was more likely to be a superior commander in chief in a full scale war, would have given the same answer. jefferson davis. he graduated from west point, lincoln had emerged from let's say the school of hard knocks. led forces in the american mexican war and lincoln's only military experience came in a rag tag militia company raised to battle an indian invasion in illinois where the only blood shed lincoln later admitted was lost to mosquitos. davis served as a secretary of war. and the united states senator, lincoln is a one term congressman who opposed the war with mexico and opponents whispered at the time and even voted against supplying the soldiers with food and blan kets. by the time watt armies met for the first time, that summer at bull run, early reports -- personally led one flange and helped turn a confederate defea

john davis and calvin coolidge. thank you. >> i hope i haven't talked up our question time, but if we have time for a few i would be happy to stay here as long as anybody wants to stay. you didn't mention your connection to davis and the connection. i think the audience would be interested in that. >> the way i personally got interested in davis is he was a graduate of washington, and i had a great friend who was a retired dean there who had known davis for years, and i remember his talking about it and taught a lawyer's lawyer. and i read it, and i probably would have never known who davis was and i would have never known who he was. >> the 1924 democratic convention is fascinating. i was wondering if you could talk a little bit about the personalities involved and whether if the other two gentlemen were spent and if they'd been nominated and probably not him as well and you would be able to call this book by the same title. so it's just a real fluke accident that this is the high tide of american conservatism beca

lee's usefulness to davis covered so breadth it's no wonder davis once wrote him i need your counsel. you are required in the field and i deprive myself of the support you give me here. in short, lee passes his first obligation, his first test. he far exceeded contemporary expectations for a general, as laid out by the greatest authorities of his age. those same military authorities offered very few useful suggestions concerning the discharge of the second obligation. to adopt practices designed to help set oneself succeed. indeed most of their comments seemed entirely unsuited to robert e. lee. military theorists tend to view generalship as a young man's endeavor. one french general who was very popular among civil war era readers commented that a general required great bodily strength as proof against the greatest fatigue. indeed, the general should be called to the chief command at an early age while still enjoying wonderful energy. as a man in his 50s, lee's cardiac episodes and increasing personal health problems certainly put him at odds with the best thinkers of the era. i feel

a very quick word about davis. if coolidge was given very little reward and i wering it's safe to say that he was shamefully ignored as president. most people would have a very blank exsxregz they don't know who he was and i'm sorry, i don't have time to today to fill in those gaps and davis of very much a product from this region and he was from the south and entered politics and he was very much put forward by his peers and didn't view himself as a real politician. he was elected to congress in 1910, 1912, and woodrow wilson picked him as solicitor general and this was a very important milestone in davis' career. he argued 60-some cases as solicitor general which was more than any other solicitor general argued personally, and it was during this time that he really secured his reputation as what was to become the foremost judicial advocate really in the united states before with the '30s and '40s rolled around and it's interesting to have the comments and virtually every supreme court justice who was on the court

jefferson davis jr., who was 4, and joe who was 2, and mrs. davis was pregnant when they moved in. she gave birth in december of 1861 upstairs. unfortunately, their first child samuel had died in 1854 right before his second birthday, so he obviously never saw this house. these were young wild kids, by all accounts. the wildest was certainly jefferson davis jr., and we have a couple of his things in this room. this is one of them. it's a fully functioning cannon, so it was a real cannon. he also had several confederate army uniforms, and that's one of them over there. so what he would do would be to put one of those uniforms on. he'd take the cannon out in the back. he'd set up targets that he would call yankees, and he would shoot them with the cannon. now, jefferson davis jr. and his brother joseph were in a street gang called the shocko hill cats. we are standing on shocko hill. this house is on top of shocko hill, and this is a wealthy urban residential neighborhood at that time, so these were the ri

luke's, and davies campuses. we will be decommissioned in our beds at the california and st. luke's campuses. after an extensive dialogue with the help commission and the committee, we have made a commitment to keep 100 beds in san francisco so that 80 or so, the patients coming out of our hospitals will have automatic placement. we also offer long-term care services to our patience today. we have a program at st. luke's. sub-acute patients are long-term care patients. they are usually with us for two or three years. many of them are in a persistent vegetative state. the blue ribbon panel recommendation is to transfer those patients to community based settings because these patients do not need to be in an acute care hospital. these are long-term care patients better served in the committee. now i will focus on the hospital services. today we serve about 1/3 of san francisco's health care needs in the hospital and emergency rooms. going forward after the rebuild, we will remain and maintain a proportion of services in san francisco. this is not a program to dominate health ca

he also wants to argue against a common southern perspective as reflected by jefferson davis. he makes a logical point that one of you pointed out. if we as a nation had the right to leave britain why isn't it the right of a sovereign state to secede from the government. it's very logical assumption. it's no coincidence that davis gives his inaugural address on washington's birthday referring to the birthday of the man most identified with the establishment of independence and establishment that results out of an act of disunion. it self-reflects the constitutional crisis. dred scott creates the constitutional crisis. secession itself reflects the constitutional crisis. lincoln said at the end of the cooper union address in which remember last week it's the best way to understand that it's a legal brief against the supreme court's decision in dred scott. he said that chief justice taney's opinion is wrong. he said right makes light. in essence, secession became unconstitutional because might made right. after the civil war it became clear that secession or disunion was wrong.

you have breast cancer. >> davis had the most aggressive form of the disease. she was 44. >> my sister came over to my mom's and i told her and we all just cried. >> like davis, she had no history of the disease. which is largely associated with risk factors like aging and obesity. now a new study provides risk factors like working overnight shifts which davis did for two years. in some cases those sleep patterns may increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer up to 30%. >> women who worked four and a half years of night shift with an average of three days in their workweek where they were working the night shift, they were at higher risk. >> the risk was higher in women who started working the shifts before they had children. because their breasts hadn't gone through the normal hormonal cycles of reproduction. >> one reason for the association between irregular sleep and risk for breast answer could be the lack of a hormone called melatonin which is produced during sleep. >> it's kind of like a little pacman that courses through your body. with less of

davis bakeren -- davis-bacon has not led to extravagant wages for affected workers. i would point out at this date, 2012, from 2000 and 2008, the real hourly wage rate for construction workers, carpenters, electricians, iron workers, plumbers, steel workers, they climbed -- declined, declined. despite a small increase in the hourly wage rate. i would point out when my mentor, congressman adam benjamin junior walked into this room in 1977, the real hourly wage for one hour's worth of a human being's work in the united states of america , it could have been laying brick, it could be pushing papers in congress, it could be waiting on tables at a diner in the middle of the night, was more for one hour's worth of a human being's labor in the united states of america than it was in 2010 and we're here tonight trying to slam down that wage. you want to save money on contract, why don't we look at executive compensation for these construction firms? why don't we look there for some savings as opposed to going to the lowest common denominators? opponents claim that davis-baco

you know i would get the davis love going to thing was the worst thing that happens and incidentally turn about it quite possibly could be the worst thing to happen to the n.b.a. it's just it's awful it's absolutely the reason why my mother when i was younger you know forced me to make sure that this didn't go together and it's because she wanted me to be presentable for people to look up to me i don't think there are people that are going to go in your browser try to make money off it i don't think you necessarily need to trademark this is probably sort of a you know an overreach a little bit i don't know i mean i really like the idea of players branding themselves i know as a baseball player we have a player on the padres where i'm from while the joiner he was bald and people started getting i don't have the trademark to be involved but people wore balls mascara balls caps to the games it was a sign of solidarity you know stick with their players and let's have some team unity so maybe i mean it will be very interesting to hear what people in the stands for the people of new orlean

we are very near and well served by cpmc's davies campus. we urge you to support and pass without further delay the cpmc issues before you today. it is time all the elements of the cpmc bill be implemented as soon as possible. it has been negotiated fairly over an extended period of time. it is time for the final approvals and for construction to begin. those who oppose that goal still mostly represent special interests and agendas that seek further up the way for their selfish benefits. disregarding the huge city-wide and badly needed benefit the south -- the rebuild represents, let's keep the big picture. cpmc has for over 10 years been open, responsive, patient, and always consistent in listening to and working with our neighborhood. amazing what dialogue between honest people sitting at the table can do. [tone!] supervisor mar: we are trying to keep a respectful tone. please respect that. most people are doing that. if there are people speaking out, i will be asking folks to be taken out. we're trying to keep a respectful conversation. g

i am a volunteer on the front desk of cpmc's davies campus and have just come from there.en a neighbor of cpmc for 37 years, having lived within two blocks of first the pacific campus and now the california pam -- campus. in the early 1980's, the california campus was torn down and rebuilt. yes, there have been reconveniences. but a city needs its hospitals, schools, and churches. and it's always near a neighborhood. that is part of living in the city. i have found cpmc to be a good neighbor. our family became hospital volunteers when our doctor called to ask if our husband would join the board of st. luke's, which was in desire financial straits. i asked him to do whatever he could. there's no doubt that st. luke's would be just a memory if cpmc had not embraced it as a campus and there would not be an adequate hospital in the mission. my husband and i are also patients. having been shepherded through a bifert, emergencyies by its staff and physicians. my husband was ones again in the emergency room at davies at a bad fall a few weeks ago. he's fine. i doubt that i would

let's forget anthony davis is the top nba draft pick.s made headlines about the unibrow and trademarking phrases fear the brow and raise the brow. >> fear the brow. i've heard that before. sounds like a homeland security profiling slogan so the agents can figure out how to randomly frisk at the airport. you know, i mean, go for it. i think it sounds ridiculous. he should be careful. a lot of people are not unibrow tolerant. i'm pretty sure the younger romney would have tackled him a long time ago and begin him a nonconsensual threading. he's not the first one to be identified with a unibrow. frida rocked it early on. she was so associated with the look, her motto was be the brow. it was even better -- more positive than fear the brow. good luck to him. shrewd and ludicrous, brow savvy. >> might work on the court. >> wish him well. >> let's talk about something very bizarre happening in the big apple. one of america's favorite furry friends elmo, one of the elmos has been apparently terrorizing tourists in central park. is this true? look
