(laughter) you know, that could be managed with one, two, three doses of paxil! ha ha ha haa. (cheers and applause) beautiful paxil! this muppet fiscal conserve stichl based on a social science experiment called the marshmallow test. for more, we turn to grover and an unnamed muppet named leather. >> sometimes people do this stuff with kids your age, they say "i'll give you a marshmallow now or if you wait aa little while i'll give you two marshmallows, but only if you wait." >> the marshmallows! >> would it be hard to wait? >> it would be very hard to wait yes. >> stephen: very hard to wait for marshmallows. i feel the same way about grover meat. (laughter) it's good. it's good. now, this experiment was first performed in 12970s to determine a child's self-control and the results were startling. according to the study kids kids who at the age of three displayed the most self-control were far more likely to be healthy and wealthy in their 30s. evidently, your ability to resist eating a marshmallow determines your future success. (laughter) i say it's time to test this theory

are involved with, central subway has 11 public art projects, general hospital has 14, recreation and parks has 13, public utilities commission has five, trans day has 5, the public library has three, the public safety building has three, the airport currently has two but we just completed five projects. other public our programs are five. you get a sense of the workload currently underway. with the other capital investments the city is expected to make its infrastructure in the next few years, there will be new public arts projects that will be coming forward. that is why we say the workload is between 60 and 70 projects per year that are ongoing. going forward and looking at what the collection activities do, there are two slides said detail work associated with that. jumping ahead a little bit, you raised some questions about how some of these public art projects might want to have impact in their surrounding neighborhoods. we decided to highlight a few things done in the last year- and-a-half that talk about how these public art projects in packed the streetscape. a longstanding project of the embarcadero was one of them. the installation of the

has done, we will see that it really has not done enough. it has been very vague. it has not been clear enough. there has been no coordination or leadership. thirdly, those being affected by this have the right to rapid economic conference saying. >> the message there, there is no coordination or leadership. so far no compensation. will that change today, do you think? >> it does look as if the commissioners are going to agree in principle to the setting up of a compensation fund and my understanding is that that is going to be something in the area of about 100 million euros available for producers, growers of cucumbers, tomatoes and will you tell us the. it will guarantee, the theory is, that they would get at least 30% of the normal market price for that produce which clearly is going to help. i was being told by one producer here in belgium yesterday the normal price for a kilo of cucumbers is around 70 euros. now it is 1/10 of that. clearly they need all the financial help they can get. also there is going to be discussion about relaxing the rules on direct state aid for farmers in this a particular country. at the moment the rules exi

ron paul ryan jumps in the race you change the completely he has a play and he has a medicare plan he has a budget he has he is he has all the tools you'd love it i love it and i think that i would love it too and you know he's not afraid to speak the truth the hard truth that's going to be difficult to swallow and that's what it that's what these was congressman bachmann you know her truth when she said the forty three forty seven percent of americans don't pay income federal income tax because they live at or below the poverty level and she wants them to start paying taxes that everybody should have to pay taxes she wants to raise taxes on working people improve people and cut taxes on millionaires and billionaires to zero if they get their income like paris hilton to get their income from inheritance or from capital gains i'm not here defending any particular person right now i but i am saying that paul ryan has been speaking the hard truth about our financial situation he hasn't said something like that but he would. he has said is that i have plans and that they're not going to be you know drastic but they are g

has stood out has been the word "unity."we have seen denominations of leaders that have said nothing over the years has brought them together the way the global day of prayer has. that has been special. to know people are praying a common prayer for the key issues on pentecost sunday each year has been really special. >> to that very point, when you talk about races, cultures, time zones, countries coming together, how important is unity in this whole thing? >> the 2 scriptures that standout is 2 chronicles 17 and e ephesians 4. today unity is a key, key part in what is happening in the global part. 2 chronicals 14, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, this is a promise from god, he will heal from heaven. i believe that is the key thing we are seeing roll out across the globe. >> those 2 values, humility and repenitence are at the core of the gdop. why are those 2 elements, humility and repenitence so important? >> without humility, prayer can be quite hallow. i think if a person has a chip on their shoulder, it is all about self rather than us, that is key. when we consider the whole issue of repenitence, it is about the individual sins, corporate sins, things

has said that. president clinton has said that. vice president biden has said that. nancy pelosi has said it has to be on the table. mocrats and republicans say that -- the domenici-rivlin proposal, which was bipartisan, said that. the fiscal commission said that, so there is no responsible way to do with it unless you make medicare strong for the future. >> but you supported and voted to advance paul ryan's budget in the senate. >> i did. >> that is getting a lot of blowback from democrats. how do you discuss that with your constituents? >> it is not hard for me at all. i do not think a democrat has a very good standing to criticize paul ryan unless the democrat has a better plan. if you have all the democratic leaders as well as republican leaders saying that medicare is the part of the problem and spending is the biggest part of the problem, and if paul ryan has a plan, then someone needs to come up with a better one. i liked the proposal by former republican senator pete domenici and alice rivlin, a democratic former budget official. they have the idea of premium support for seniors. but they allow you to go int

has been a bright spot in a dismal economy. has been extremely successful in creating jobs and economic development. for example, in just weeks that mission cheese has been open, sarah has already created five new jobs and the loan fund overall has created 50 new jobs. working solutions, through this loan fund, has made 27 loans to businesses. the interest rate is low and fixed at 4% to 6%. we have lent out close to the entire $680,000 of the original lending capital, and 100% of those businesses are repaying their loans. as the funds revolve, they become available for additional businesses. the funds are used for different things like marketing, hiring new employees, purchasing equipment, tenant improvements, and more. the types of businesses that have benefited from the city loan fund range from salons, cafes, retail shops -- all different types of businesses throughout the city of san francisco. these are exactly the kind of very unique businesses that make san francisco the diverse city that it is. i also wanted to point out that a few of our loan recipients in the city have also graduated and able to later on success -- access traditional bank financing. two of those have been able to move on to get traditional loans. i wou

bailout that has been given to them that has been attached to austerity measures which has weakened their population has weakened their future has weakened their economy and really get out and say you know what we're actually we don't want more of a bailout in fact we're not even going to repay a portion of the belt that we receive because we just can't hack it from an economic standpoint for a population that governments don't like to do that it's not clear the greek government will get to that position despite what they've been seeing has been continuous. evoked in their population in the streets and it's not clear that will happen but that is certainly what the population is pushing for because they shouldn't have to bear the economic brunt of bad financial decisions and extracting from their own personal economies and futures to pay back banks and bondholders throughout the world and do you see this this movement spreading to neighboring countries even perhaps the united states of course the conditions are so different here sort of this realization it's a very different obviously there's a lot of. protesting in spain a lot o

has another bitter pill to swallow it as a gaullist that u.s. growth has slowed and the u.s. -- bitter pill to swallow. it has acknowledged that the youth growth has slowed. >> some recent labor market indicators have also been weaker than expected. >for example the unemployment rate hasisen by 0.3% points since march and unemployment insurance has moved somewhat higher. the reduced pace of the recovery partly reflects factors are likely to be temporary. in particular, consumers' purchasing power have been dampened by higher food and energy prices and its aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in japan has been associated with global supply chains, especially in the auto sector. >> we will have a lot more on that dennis van. >> yes. we have been hearing now president obama has announced that 33,000 u.s. troops will be withdrawn from afghan by the end of the summer of next year. listening to president obama's speech was richard white. he is from the hudson institute in washington. what did you make of the announcement in the sense that president obama has been criticized for withdrawing too quickly and for using this for political gain? he cannot win, can he? >> in a way, there are a range of options being proposed. mine impression was -- my impression was that the fl

because the uprising has proved that he has stamina but he has managed to galvanize support huge rallies if you like in either in damascus or aleppo but it certainly has the legitimacy and has the stamina on the other hand it's very clear that the regime has lost its authority and it's not being able to put down rising so i don't think it's will be similar in any way to nugent or egyptians scenarios about what will happen that over time the opposition i think it will have to galvanize itself if it would have any chances for success and come up with a clear plan for a political handover for power and for a kind of a better political future for syria and if it's managed this way i think it's true can only be a very promising thing for syria and for the region because syria plays a very important role regionally but isn't syria made up with a very complicated fabric of communities and people is there really a coherent opposition. well that's precisely what i mean at the moment because i think it's by the fire to represented by the fact that the opposition hasn't managed to organize itself into a clear. organized force on the ground that can mount a more serious or stage if you

has at its core their economic security and best interests. and the president has a balanced plan, a plan that has the middle class at its core and has broad growth hasey feel that way now? what i am saying he has been in office now, do the math, more than two years, and people feel that the country is on the wrong track. >> because we have been through -- we have been through a horrific recession that followed a lost decade -- >> can you run blaming george bush for the economy? >> i don't think anybody cares about pointing fingers of blame. >> you were talking about these are problems in the making? >> that's a fact of what has happened a fact of what's happened in the life of our economy. i don't think this is about the past. it's about the future. it is only relevant to talk about the past in evaluating the approach that people would take moving forward. >> i know as part of your job we talked about this, is to watch debates. we had a big debate in new hampshire this week. size up the competition for me. >> i think it's early to size up the competition. there seemed to be a unanimity of antipahy towards the president. i didn't hear a lot of ideas.

has has a short circuit in our nation's energy policy. the fcc has nationalized the internet, and most dangerously of all, the federal debt has ballooned, putting our country on a course to financial and economic ruin. meanwhile, the chair of the democratic national committee has said that obama has turned the economy around. well, here is a news flash. obama has not turned the economy around. he is turned this country and -- he has turned this country and the economy upside down. and according to the latest polls, one -- less than one- third of the american people think we are on the right track. but i am hopeful. i am an optimist. because to me, that says to me two-thirds of the american people are ready for a new direction.
