okay, gang. let's look at this, thinking small, why is it that one molecule moving faster than any other and, by the way, a helium atom will do that. if you te a helium atom and let it go in this room, it'll continually go faster than a other molecule. does anyone know why? why would helium molecules move faster? you guys know any helium in atmosphe find its way at the top? 's going faster. helium is the fastest moving molecule of any group of molecules around. in fact, helium stays in the atom form, just one atom. doesn't gang up into molecules, and a helium atom is very fast. and let's see if we can see why. let's suppose we have some helium gas in the room here. would that have the same temperature as the air in the room? let's have a helium balloohere and it's in contact with the air in the room. won't it come to the same temperature? yes, it will. the air in this room all has the same tperature. that doesn't mean every molecule is going exactly as fast as the other. it means on the average t

we're a street gang. they consider us a street gang. it's not structured, we're not considered, you know, like mafiawise -- we don't control the outside, money laundering and things like that, you know what i mean? they can't validate us. >> what do you want to do with the bulldogs? >> whatever it takes. this is my life now, there's no chance for me to get out. i'm going to have to die sometime. i might as well go out with a bang, you know? >>> coming up, even in the shu, robert's always ready for battle. >> this is my shoe, i don't mess with my hands. i count, it's as close as we're going to get to pullups. >> and later a gang dropout struggles with life on the sensitive needs yard. avoid bad.fats. don't go over 2000... 1500... 1200 calories a day. carbs are bad. carbs are good. the story keeps changing. so i'm not listening... to anyone but myself.

[laughter] a little tattoo there. what's going on here, gang? ah-ah. the heated air cooled and when the heated air cooled what happened to the-- the pressure inside? it went down. how about the pressure outside. same. but why does it hold to my head? why? how many people say, "well, it has something to do with air, but there is probably no reason for that, huh." it's sort of like this. one of these devices here. you know what this is, this is a physics experiment, right? how come it's sticking, gang? it looks like we all at times gonna have-- gonna have one of these, gang. are you looking what's going on the, huh? why? how many say, "oh, there is probab no reason for that." isn't the air pressure pushing against the side there? isn't the air pressure inside pushing back out? but not as much. because i squashed some of the air out, and when i squashed the air out, it starts come back, it reduces th

okay, gang. ideas day. i got a couple of objects. i got a styrofoam ball and i got a lead ball. which one is heavier? the lead ball. the lead ball. well, you don't really have enough information to say. but let me ask you another question. which is more dense? the lead ball. what does it mean to say dense? more packed together. more packed together. more compact, right? more scrunched up. and isn't this lead ball, even without weighing it, you can tell this is more dense than this. so we're gonna talk about a definition, gang, and the definition is density. density, here we go. two kinds of density: mass density and weight density. we can say mass density is simply the amount of mass per volume, or weight density is simply weight per volume, okay? if i told you, for example, my lanai had a 200-pound rock, would that be a big deal? not a big deal. a lot of people got 200-pound rock out in the rock garden, yeah. let's suppose a 200-pound rock, gang, is that big. ooh, that is a big deal. you don't b

joining gangs. and i do my work in the city of los angeles, and as you know, most people think of it as ground zero for gangs. one out of every gang member in the united states of america resides in los angeles. so i have a lot of people to observe. and i have a lot of people that i spend my time with, who i talk with, who i live with, who are my sisters and brothers, my godchildren, and they are my guides. i've introduced and done life histories on over 300 gang members. and i think it's very important, we've heard a lot of stories today but i want to mention a group that hasn't been mentioned which are women and young girls. and i'm looking out at some of your faces knowing that your sisters are part of gangs or at risk for joining gangs in our country as well as transnationally right now. now, as i've listened to these voices that we rarely hear, and we're so lucky to hear them today, as i listen to these voices that i rarely hear, there's a young man who is 18 years old, one month past his 18th

but you know what, gang? these ideas apply to sound, because in the case of an aircraft going faster than the speed of sound, it's gonna leave a conical-shaped wave behind. and that's called a shock wave. so anything that moves faster than the speed of sound is gonna have the sound all ganged up and form that high-pressure cone. this is really high-pressure air, just like with water that would be high wave, yeah? and now high-pressure air, when you encounter that down below-- let's suppose this is an aircraft now, not a bug. the person up here says, "hey, wow, look at the aircraft, man, silence." "no sound at all. "hey, they finally made it. they finally made it. no, boom." okay? and this thing here, finally-- wash right over and when that hits the listener, the listener can't tell the difference between that and like dynamite going off. i used to prospect in colorado. we'll be way out in the mountains and sometimes we'd hear-- --hey, is that someone prospecting, someone nearby, someone making some dynamite h

how about this, gang? someone says, "oh, the reason wood floats "and iron sinks is because wood-- because iron is heavier." i mean, you take a paper clip-- [makes sound] --then you take a great, big log and it floats. so what's that person mean when he says, "oh, it's because the iron is heavier?" - denser. - more dense. denser. denser. see? heavy compared to volume, then that's denser. any other questions about anything? okay, we're right on schedule, gang. next time, we're gonna be talking about gases, gases and atmospheric pressure. see you then. physics. yehey. [music]

but that's not the reason, gang, is it? because let's suppose i take something like this eraser and i put the eraser here, boom, let's draw it in here. so many acres of land. now, let's consider the same acreage up north. see the reason already? can you see the reason already? even if you don't have the words, can you say, "hey, yeah. "over here, you'd catch more energy "than you would here, more energy per area here than here." this is one of those things that really makes sense, doesn't it? right? in fact, you can count them up. what do we got? 1, 2, 3, 4, yeah? and now here we got what? one, maybe two? so your energy is more concentrated here. over here, it's more spread out, the same energy over more area. so over here, it's gonna be cold and cooler climate, over here, what--hotter climate. it gotta make sense, doesn't it? that also tells us about the seasons too. you know, it turns out, around here in hawaii, you don't know too much about seasons. but let's talk about it anyway. sun. earth. earth six months later. it t

he wasn't even a gang banger. that haunts me. >> though miramontes maintains his innocence in this case, he admits to past violence with his gang. >> well, the things that i did, it was not little things, you know. shoot-outs with different gang bangers, but never actually killed no one. injure them? yeah. killed them? no. i'm not a murderer. i'm not hard-core gangster. no homey, no. usually drugs, weapons, money. easy. i had good grades in elementary, junior high, high school. i graduated with a 3.17. i'm a certified electrician. people used to say he works, he has a good job. i started hooking up with different people, older friends, older guys. serious business. so, i was, easy money. i will do that favor for you, you know, let's go. >> what was easy money? >> delivering, here, there. nice. they used me to do all these runs. was i getting paid good money? yeah. was it worth it? not really. but that's one thing that i think got for being locked up, is because being on the street, when i was on the street, oh, ma

that's how the prison gang system works. so me and two friends of mine, fellow gang members, went into his cell to play cards with him. the plan was for his partner in pinochle lose on purpose and to get him down to do push-ups. and when he got down to do push-ups, i got down on his back and applied a little pressure. that was my excuse to get up next to him. at which time, i put my arm around his throat, kind of choked him out a little bit to make him weak. but he wasn't dead yet because i wanted him to feel exactly what was going to happen to him. i didn't want him to make a lot of noise, because the co is 15 tiers away. he could have heard me at any time. and another inmate passed me a razor shank, and i slashed his throat repeatedly. blood was everywhere. and then another inmate passed me a shank about that long, with a handle on it. and i just started stabbing him. stabbed him over 100 times, in the back, sides, neck, he was crying, telling me to stop, begging for me to stop. and he was still alive through all of it. th

how do they, in private, do they use the rhetoric of armed terrorist gangs? do they seem to believe that? >> all of the ministers that i met made it clear that the syrian government was fighting terrorism. they were fighting people who wanted to see regime change in the country and also made the point that they did not think there was significant humanitarian needs in the country. >> how can they say that there's not, you know, significant humanitarian needs in the country? we have seen with our own eyes the shelling of it. we have seen what independent reportered call the slaughter of people there. >> i'm really worried about what is happening to the people. there was no one around. it was pretty much desserted. thousands of people have been displaced. we don't know how many people have been wounded or where they have gone or indeed what their needs are. so, my view is that there are humanitarian needs in syria and i would like us to be able to find out more about exactly what those needs are and how we can help. >> as you know, the syrians, there are a lot

i know through some of the other states there is a pervasive gang problem. what we often find is that some of the best students that we work with are still overwhelmed by this gang issue, whether it be generational or neighborhood wise. so i was wondering for you, did you find your success was more specifically linked to the fact you may not have had those family ties or didn't feel that overwhelming burden to join a gang, be part of a gang or represented by that community or was that something you also struggled with? >> it wasn't necessarily a struggle because i know pressure is a lot, but if i don't want to do something, i am not going to do it mainly. where i came from, gangs were a big part of the streets, so me being me, i just stuck to the books, listened to my parents had to tell me, the teachers, a couple of my friends that had done it before me and graduated and gone onto college, so i just follow my own route. >> and the teacher, i am sorry, i forget your name. do you find you have students highly motivated that have the potential to succeed and o

all of this nonsense about armed terrorist gangs. we know the problem. we all sat and listened to this regime. its lies, its attempts to cover up what's happened. i must say, the harder i feel when i see kofi annan and crew going in and paying lip service to the regime that has annihilated a large part of its own citizens, it's almost too much to bear. almost. thankfully, there are people aware of this and good god. are we going to play that game? it's a horrible game. to see being played at these people. >> it is. >> i'm sorry i'm so angry. >> no, i understand the anger. >> i wish i was a bit more subtle. but no, i'm angry. i hope somebody wakes up and says get them people out of there and stop this nonsense. >> i appreciate you being on. i know it's -- you saw it with your own eyes, so i understand the anger. paul, appreciate it. fwad as well. i should point out, a funeral was held today at new york's long island, family and friends paying respects to marie colvin. her mother feared her body would never come back from syria. it nearly never happened. i
