there was complete denial of the problem. 15 years later, water quality is on the agenda of every city council person in that local city, and that's completely a result of activists forcing the issue, surfrider and other local groups, saying, "hey, these water quality issues are real and you need to address them."

cities across the country i have had the opportunity to travel through. the streets are very clean and get reminded that we all have to contribute in every part of our city. that same attitude in every city is the last point i want to make today. june 6, almost 10 days ago, there was a very bad incident that occurred. a shooting occurred of someone firing into one of our buses. as horrible as that is, and we can talk all day long, everything from gun violence to violence in itself to youth violence, we are doing everything we can to prevent that. while we are doing that in the community, there are individuals that want to cease the moment and make our community safe. on that particular day, rather that run away from the incident, there was concern for a passenger on one of our munis buses and the driver acted very responsely that they got out of harms way and drove to the hospital to get attention to one of the passengers that was strayed by a bullet. this driver is a san francisco resident, 14 years experience in the city, has demonstrated year in and out with her fantastic driving record. button this moment, she acted way beyond the call of her daily du

of thinking that i was alone in this, and i wasn't alone, it's quite prevalent and happening in every city and state in the nation. more and more fathers come daily. we had 300 members in may and now we're up to 5,000. we're a very active page and we support one another. it's very emotional for us, and very painful to have your children taken from you, to be reduced from the a father to a visitor four days a month. >> michelle? >> yes, a couple of things that i wanted to comment on, first, with tomas, the allegations of violence, i wouldn't laugh at any of that or taking any of that lightly on the impact on your children, and the claim that there were holes punched in walls, that would be really easy to prove, and todd, both in the chicago area, you're a professor at de paul and i'm a professor at northwestern, and i feel a certain comradery, but i have to shudder, confessions of a deadbeat dad. and i have to say, i'm a single parent, my former husband, who was a litigating attorney, did not pay child support for the last nine years, and i put two sons through college, one through graduate

there was complete denial of the problem. 15 years later, water quality is on the agenda of every city council person in that local city, and that's completely a result of activists forcing the issue, surfrider and other local groups, saying, "hey, these water quality issues are real and you need to address them." and only until the public sort of creates that will will the politicians respond. narrator: while some cities deal with infrastructure issues, others have concerns about the sustainability of water supplies. allbee: it's not just about the sustainability of the assets, it's about the sustainability of our water resources. parts of this country that thought of themselves as water rich 20, 30 years ago, now are discovering that they really are not water rich,

i think almost every city agency has signed on. city college, the universities is here. we have an amazing set of partners doing great work that we look to collaborating with going forward. these are the results that we are trying to achieve. and so there is a set of 15 indicators from department of education that we have provided a baseline for and that we will be, we set target for over the course of the 5 years and that's part of our reporting to the department will be on progress in moving the needle towards our goals on those indicators with the ultimate goal that making sure kids are ready for school, graduate from high school and enter into college and their families have what they need to succeed.

to fill the potholes because he actually knows how and he's the only mayor in city history that can say he actually knows every single city street because his crews probably paved them. i have had the privilege of working alongside ed for many years in city government. he has always been a cherished colleague and friend to everyone in city hall. he's done the job, he gets the job done, never wanting credit, just the satisfaction of doing the right thing for the people he serves in the city and county of san francisco. i was thinking about the introduction of mayor ed lee lastity and we'll taking the time to think about ed as mayor and ed as leader. i've been lucky to know every single mayor in san francisco since my birth and mayor lee is quickly taking his place among the very best. i've seen ed grow into the mayor's role with great ease and aplomb and there's no surprise there. mayor lee is focusing on young people and guiding a rebust economic rebirth in san francisco. his interest in young people is quite genuine and he meets regularly with middle school principals, focusing on critical years for kids to s

i think every city is going to have their ears open very widely and even send reps to gain this kind of connection and learn how to attract this technology to their cities. we've always been very open to assist other cities and create that relationship. >> it gets your interest and you around the world because they tell their families and it brings knowledge in our cities and knowledge of the world that has built products in the marketplace in your country. all of that works. kids in particular, want to come to places that are environmentally responsible that challenge you and give you lots of opportunities to live side by side with other people that have new ideas, different ideas, and that sort of thing. that's what i have always loved about san francisco. it is a dense city, not as much as city of new york. that gives you a chance to have a life experience 24/7, not just during your business day. >> other questions? >> a specific problem -- i'm wondering [inaudible] are there specific problems that you are looking -- is it a problem? [inaudible] >> we have so many problems to solve

you cannot fix each and every crack in the city. it's like each city, you're talking about 3,000, 5,000 miles of pipe. so you have to prioritize where they can go and fix the system. narrator: each city faces unique situations, so they must determine the asset management approach that best addresses these challenges. inspections can be done with various technologies, often by a robot... or personally by a technician on a bicycle. sensors detect breaks, cracks, and weaknesses in the pipe. man: we have roots at this cap lateral at 79. narrator: tree roots can grow into the pipe, splitting it apart. man: more light roots at 69. narrator: sometimes they may even find fully collapsed sections. after gathering the data, utilities can assess the need for rehabilitation. sinha: you have to choose the rehabilitation technique so that the life of the pipe can be extended 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. allbee: any asset has an optimal investment strategy. if you're making investments in that asset too early, or too late, you're wasting money. i

for seven days leading up to easter, nearly every city in andalucia gets taken over by ancient processionser, it's an impenetrable montage of confusing, yet deeply evocative images. figures in dark hoods loom up from every direction. spoke pots of insects, candles, religious imagery, and the crowds. flashes of goya, dimly remembered impressions of the inquisition. okay, watch this. these guys got to get their painstakingly crafted massively sized and incredibly heavy and cumbersome float through the door, down the steps, and out into the street. pedro is another of fuen's brothers, the youngest, and when not working for an i.t. company in ireland, he does this. he carries crushingly heavy religious floats. they're called casteleros. the virgin float, about 3,500 pounds total, and precise dimensions that have to make it through door just so. the bearers have to kneel. crawl along with it on their backs to get it through the door. and the main event. ready, set, up. let's face it. i like a procession and all, but who likes a bunch of guys in hoods coming in your general direction? i don't. f

every city there is a loon outside the apple store.e again, apple has revolutionized the way white people line up for things. they did do something clever though. a good idea. they have it set up in such a way. right after you get the 5s, you take two steps forward you will be in line for iphone 6. as soon as the the new iphone was announced. a weird thing. my old iphone started begging for its life. kardashians are nominated for six emmys. not really. the kardashians no emmys. snubbed again. this is funny. you know how the kardashians insist their show is real not scripted. a real look at their lives. kim, khloe and kris posted pictures on instgram shooting the kardashian christmas episode. in september. that's why it is so hard to keep up with them. they're three months ahead of us. i tell you, i cannot wait to see it. i heard it is hilarious. all three sisters get their butts stuck in a chimney. and he comes home and he is pissed. while the kardashians may be figments of our imagination, i can assure you this is not. this is real vi

. >> london has changed, as every city has. you certainly will not have any of those bankers wearing bowler hats and numberless. more to the point, london out is tremendously diverse. paris is becoming in admitting that it is more a diversity, and there's a little line for me quite hidden away the says i'm very much a parisian or i'm interested in parisian women, but not quite sure that i ever met a parisian woman. what do you mean by that? >> what i mean is that my education, i have been looking at old movies that i love. we speak about the reputation of the parisian, which was supposed to dress very well. i think that, you know, in france, the eccentricity -- for me, eccentricity is very chic and it is what i love. it is so much about the good taste, which paralyzed. it is still a city where everybody meets profession, sure, but it is sad that you did not seek only may be in the young people, but you do not see when people are in the rain, let's say, in society, like having the joy to address. like you have to be like the col

every city will connect with a bullet train. san francisco future is we have to put subway on van ness street. this is our future because we already finished a central freeway by 2019. i hope i can quit my job by that date and take munis at a low price. our future put the subway because look at the san francisco, look at the big picture. it's a square pox. we have the subway like a z car because they don't look at the whole map. my time is up. >> berry toronto. >> good afternoon, i think i might need a translator. just kidding. anyway, because a cab driver is here and not silenced about the concern and impacts. the phrase unintended consequences is something that should be looked at. when i came here, they put new meters on mccallser and franklin and goth. when you do something, people are going to change their behavior because it doesn't fit their needs. in terms of taxi service, it has looked at how it impacts taxi services that you limit terms that serve regular customers and regular businesses that call for cabs all the time

it happens in every city. i think it is pretty pronounced here.tavis: how did you get anybody to cooperate with you for this book? and before you answer that, let me put the complete question out, because in my mind, i see two sides of this coin. on the one side, if you are in washington, and you know mark is writing this book, you do not want to be anywhere near him. stay away from this guy. he is going to expose everything about washington, and you do not want to be anywhere near that. the other side of the coin is i want to talk to mark because he is writing a book, and it is going to be a bestseller. how does that work? >> i do not know. one of the things about washington, and i happen to live here, you have to choose your friends really, really carefully. i do not think people have talked jimmy over the years because i am such a good, charming, good-looking guy, whether that is true or not. they do it because i work for a major news organization, and they think it can probably be to their business interests or whatever. what you laid out is a
