holistic that word is likely sprinkled holy water over our preference is by making them holistically here's where it works at the university of texas to have an academic index for people playing outside of the top 10% and the of a personal achievement index and the personal achievement index has many components and one of them as race. it's a personal achievement texas to be born black or hispanic and it's not such a good achievement to be born hispanic, i'm sorry, asia or white literally. that's what they call it, a personal achievement index. they also emphasize we of many that we consider. race is only one little thing and we often don't take into account it's only a little finger on a scale. that's the pitch the university of texas makes. the numbers tell the different story. the best way to tell whether there is a racial preference in operational or whatever they call it is to compare the entering academic credentials of different racial groups after they arrive on campus. when you do that comparison the most recent numbers we have seen in 2009 looking at the university of texas

the time it was conducted, it was before the holistic issue was adopted. in 2003-2004, the determination would not have been as important in just finding out african- americans or hispanics are under-represented minorities present at the university. >> what is the number? what is the critical mass of african-americans and hispanics to the university did you are working to? >> your honor, we do not have one. >> how will we supposed to tell if the plan is nearly tailored to that road? >> looking at the criteria in grutter, which rejected that you could come up with a fixed percentage. >> this is very from group-to- group, from state-to-state tax is contextual. it could very -- state-to-state? >> is contexture will. it could very. -- is contexture will. it could very. >> is the critical mass dependent on the breakdown of the population of texas? >> no. not at all. it is looking to the educational benefits of diversity on campus. i think we agree on what that means. >> mr. garre, could you explain the critical question, why did the 10% solution not suffice? wh

race has to be part of a holistic review of the package. therefore i don't believe it is something that will give someone a huge advantage. i think it is something that should be considered. i think these gaps are disturbing. hopefully we can address those through better quality education for students entering college. host: let's here from vero beach, florida. independent line. you are always going to have this underclass of people that can't achieve historically. guest: as it stands today, it is making equality in america worse. host: some analysts say diversity can be considered without race. "some analysts say diversity can be achieved without considering race in admissions. richard kahlenberg of the left-leaning century foundation said universities in some states have had success with hols policies. what do you say about that? >> i don't think it should be considered at the expense of also considering race. inequality manifests itself in many different ways in this country. it manifests in terms of gender, in terms of race, in terms of

open spaces within the downtown core that are utilized to look at it more holistically makes sense. the hearing that -- you mentioned the mexican museum, any other sort of projects that might be in the immediate future to look at the total impact we are talking about, not just impact related to the plan area but any other zoning in the area we can anticipate. i think that is one of the things that people are concerned about and how they can't look at this overall. i would agree that, you know, moving shadow budgets is not something we take lightly. i'm a person that always goes to whereever the sun is in an open space. i know we have to balance, you know, our needs. for example, the plan area and the fact that we don't have other ways to fund the improvements that we need to the transportation system or create new open spaces. i realize it is a pull. for a great dialogue it is useful to look at the full picture. i think you have done a great job to get us to that place. if we can look a little further, taking into consideration other projects in that general area so we can look at i

in other words, we did try to find whether they were holistic in the percentage. this was before the plan of his she was adopted. what we concluded is that we simply -- if you look at african-americans, 90% of the classes -- >> i don't understand that answer. you know the total number of african-americans in class. >> yes, your honor. >> and you know the total number who were admitted under the top 10%? >> we do, your honor. >> your honor, at the time,. [talking over each other] >> let me try to explain why the university did not look specifically to that. it was before the whole process was adopted in 2003 in 2004. that determination had been as important and just finding out if african-americans and hispanics are underrepresented. >> what is that number? what is the critical number of african-americans you are working toward? >> your honor, we don't have one. >> are we supposed to tell if this plan is narrowly tailored to that whole? >> to look to the same notion as that you came up with a fixed percentage two asking from group to group, does it vary from state

secondly come when you look at the operation of preferences, the holistic idea really is completely bug. we're not talking about looking at individual essay and see what the students race really shaped like six periods in a profound way. we are looking at systems were eubank students by academic criteria and there's a whole contrary to students in a particular race who are not eligible and then you admit everyone of those students. it's not a discretionary. that is that justice o'connor was trying to unsuccessfully put forward. what a lot of people are sympathetic to you is a mechanical hundred% application. the other problem with allen's analogy is you're not looking at people who grew up in ghettos, people have been arrested by the police, the vast majority of african-americans receiving preferences at selective institutions come from upper middle-class or wealthy backgrounds. that's simply a fact. so the preference systems are not getting the diversity we want. they get a diversity that feels good come of it seems to give an aura of legitimacy to the university, but not one that has

that bill a holistic system. i think because it has so much to do with the development of the individual stem the stuff they had a chart of all the different aspects of his system and at the bottom of the chart they were numbered the different features of the bottom the chargers number one work on yourself that's the number one thing in his system and you know on camera if you don't if you're not telling the truth on camera. the camera doesn't lie and on stage you can get away with some things that you can't get away with on camera you have to project out on stage you have to let the camera go in. steps lasky system because it addresses the body the imagination the mind the memory the emotions dresses everything if you work are all those things you can do it all so so so you know when you're on camera that's very interesting you have to either tell the truth or you have to believe in your lines exactly. you know i guess that's true and staged you know but i think the interesting thing about the camera the best de

how imagination mixes with memory it's a holistic system so those things that have to do with the inner life if an actor does not have a very well developed inner life he's not going to be very interesting on camera or on you know even the who's really dumb person i mean someone actually you know have to be an intelligence and in our life at the same thing you could be maybe not very smart but have an inner life a feeling like rather than thoughts that can be very interesting i'm camera i'm sure you know something about will slow learner good more about the status landscape and its famous acting method in the report now by spotlights you learn that the media for. these four do show a young man intoxicated by theatre putting on different constitutions take an impressive poses this is. constantin stanislavski in his twenty's the offspring are one of the richest families in russia he had more interest in acting than in his family business he described acting as the greatest pleasure and the greatest torture and throughout his life try to understand how to achieve authenticity on stage the

we need to think of at holistic play as a public-health problem. not as a rush also the people who are selling and people are selling a rock to a police officer pretending to be an addict. all those people need help. >> i think that have given my all for the cause. i will leave it to george to put the capper on it. >> what is the sanction for opposing -- he is one of your members. >> he is and he is a valued member of the association. as an elected official, he is entitled to his own opinion. >> thank you. i have to say that, i want to think marty for coming here. he knew he was coming into this. i want to repeat. i am in the minority in the association. i think concerning this item, it is important for me and all of us to recognize there are ballot points of view. if we're serious about developing solutions that work for all of us, we have to entertain those points of view and tried to reach consensus. that is the only one that we will create a workable, sustainable solutions. all we're doing is spinning our wheels. my reason for being here is bec

for those below the top 10%, like abigail fisher, in the 11%, they use what it calls a holistic review where race is one of many factors considered, one that university president bill power says doesn't get much weight and didn't play a role in fish fisher's rejection. >> we take ethnicity as one of many, many factors in a holistic review to make sure that the three quarters coming in under automatic admission, though we add to that with a quarter coming in where we can look for these other characteristics, including diversity. >> i think she's fighting the wrong fight. >> minority student leaders on campus like bradley pool agree with powers that the process is fair, despite fisher's claims. >> probably one of the least parts of the holistic review process. i think it's harping on the easiest thing that she could have went against. >> others take offense, saying the lawsuit implies that some minority students are less deserving of admission thn their white counterparts. >> to hear of us saying some of us latinos got in here easily and the only reason we got in here is because of our r

then everybody else is subjected to something called holistic review.was in the top 11% of her class. the question is really whether it's okay to use race in the calculation when you use this narrowly tailored program to achieve diversity. >> i know earlier when we ired your package we talked about race being part of the review process. do we know how important race -- not important, but how they factor race? is it one of many things that they factor in, is it more significant than other aspects? >> right. the way it's been described to me by a lot of people -- and we even talked to the university president, sort of one small part. a factor of a factor of a factor. >> okay. >> none the less, it's still in there and, you know, it could really affect the way people get in for years and years. the question, of course, is whether the court rules very broadly on this or rules very narrowly. and, zoraida, it's another interesting fact here, is that justice alaelena kagan has recud herself with this case because she dealt with it just a bit byte when she was s

. >> you sort of have a kind of holistic relationship where you might do merchandise in the store that promotes their work and practice, and also, prince for them. maybe we should go back and look at the print operation now. >> let's go. >> before we go into the print shop, i noticed some incredible items you have talked back here. what are we standing in front of? >> this is william wiley, only one earth. this is a print edition. there are only eight total, and what we wanted to do was expand the idea of printmaking. this is really an art object. there we go. >> besides the punball machine, what do you produce in limited edition? >> there is the slot machine. if you win the super jackpot, you have saved the world. >> what about work? >> the right design, it was three volumes with lithographs in each volume. the cab of count dracula with 20 lithographs inside and lined with beaver fur. really special. >> let's move on to the print shop. >> ok. the core of what we do is making things. this is an example. this is a print project that will be a fund-raiser for the contemporary music playe

a holistic approach that addresses the diverse needs of merchants and neighborhoods is one that is going to be more likely to be successful and i know you will agree with me when i saw that we want our commercial corridors to be successful. access to healthy food is something that is important to all san franciscans and i want to express to you my commitment to addressing this need as part of the invest in neighborhoods initiative. thank you. >> i will ask the next question. and this is a question that is often posed to many of us frequently which is the fact that our city is facing a $4 billion retiree health care liability, mr. mayor, what is your administration doing to address this challenge? >> thank you, supervisor chiu and thank you for raising this important question today. in our retiree health care obligation is something that i care deeply about and a challenge we must all tame take on together. this year the city will pay for the health care of our current retirees and while that number seems large and it is we have a more significant issue on the horizon, the unfunded cost o

the need to bring this into a holistic approach. what we have been doing under our solutions for the i brand, we have m brand, which is the most powerful actor in the alphabet. those products are well known. but the i brand is just coming. those vehicles are well into development now. the i 3 and i8 will be launched next year. they are carbon fiber and that will be made, not in this state, but just up the way in washington state. using fully environmentally sustainable energy. carbon fiber prevention will be shipped to our factories in europe or will be make carbon fiber cars. it is about 50% like you're than steel, 20% lighter than allen minium. you need the batteries ms. -- which makes the efficiency much more credible and also a strong business case. this part of the united states will play a strong part in the development of these vehicles. as well as we also started a venture firm. the venture fund operates out of new york. it started 15 months ago, we made our first investment in a company called my city way, which is working

they do not monster -- monitor price the only one of your holistic factors that appears. >> well, allof the factors are taken into account. >> i'm sorry. the question was whether race is one of the only holistic factors that appears on the cover. >> that is true of the cover. can i make one point on jurisdiction. >> we will give you more time because it will give him more time this. >> first of all, i cannot show that she was injured by any consideration of race. 415-416 of the joint appendix. not in the fall 2008 class, no matter what their race. >> are you arguing this she does not have standing in the article? >> yes, tell your honor. >> you address that in your briefing. one footnote. we have an obligation. would you give us was one footnote in which he said it is hard to see. >> and there is another part of that which goes to the relief she has requested. this case began. that has fallen and is undisputed. the only thing from this case is the request for monetary damages. it is focused exclusively on the request for the return of the missions. the reason why that is not is that s

lead. -- holistically. i know the ftc has done a lot of great work. no member companies are doing a lot of great work. i think it is is important for consumers to understand that while there may not be perfect tools out there, there are things they can do to limit the impact of the calls. as an example, use caller id. if you do not recognize the phone number, do not pick up the phone. do not press one or two. i think that is important. the last two things i mentioned to address the issue, i think targeted enforcement against some of the bad actors. that is always a great thing to go after these guys. things like this, things our members are involved in, working corrected -- collectively with stakeholders to try to find solutions. i think brad is right. it will not go away. we have to work collectively to at least address the issue as best we can. >> i was excited to hear authenticating the users on the initiation of calls. that is the kind of thing -- i would be the first person standing in line. authentica

are women mother holistic when it comes to financial advice? >> i do. i also think we are very good listeners, taking into account the entire family's needs and goals, and i think that we are not being so specific that we are only looking just a stocks and bonds. >> sorry, i wasn't listening to what -- no, that was a joke! that was a joke! listen, i'm outnumbered on set. >> you were browsing a site with hot vintage cars. >> susan, is this proof that women are smarter than men? >> no. what it is -- >> thank you. >> -- as was said before, financial planning is the answer. all the clients come in to the process because they truly want financial planning. usually the words are used, lip service is paid, but the investment management is the only thing they receive. women tend to be much more tilted towards doing the comprehensive financial planning. that's a lot of detail, not just lip service, in terms of retirement planning, estate planning, taxes, children, education, all of it. i think that's the reason. >> make men aren't dumber. i think they might be t

so i think again it would help to have just, you know, more holistic approach to this whole thing. i don't think we have the appropriate analyses sometimes or least i didn't feel that way when we were approving project-by-project things. and i think there is always room to include more information. and so i don't think the conversation ends today. >> thank you, supervisor campos? >> thank you, you know, i have been on this board for four years now. and one of the things that i am very proud of is that when it comes to land use decision-making that we have actually moved into the direction of giving the decision makers more information. i will give you an example. we passed the health care services master plan because we understood that individual decisions were being made by the planning commission about projects that had health care implications. and yet there was no consideration for what the health needs of the city were. and so the goal of that legislation was to say before you make land use depictions with health implications you want to know if the individual project advances

. >> we really need to care about the entire person, holistically. if we're just caring about a person's soul, their spiritual part, then we're not really caring about people. >> reporter: kevin brown grew up in holly grove, another neighborhood devastated by hurricane katrina. his father was the pastor of a church in the neighborhood. >> in our community, there was a high incidence of heart disease, diabetes and food-related illnesses. and so we envisioned using space that had been ruined by katrina in a new way, repurposing this old nursery to become a farm and market so that we can feed the people of the community and take care of some of those food-related illnesses. >> reporter: brown's project receives funds from trinity christian church and tulane university. >> we have a discount for community residents. one of the benefits of eating locally is you don't have to ship in it from california, so we can keep the cost down a little bit. the other thing is if somebody volunteers here. we have a lot of community volunteers. we give them the vegetabl
