the senior hurst also built a house that is still used by the hurst corporation. the home is not as much of a statement as the one built by his son at the top of the hill. a village for the workers was built. it is a marvel that morgan could deal with the relentless demands of the man who was paying for it all. it seems that hurst and morgan both shy and enormously gifted respected each other. unfinished as it is this is the fruit of their communal effort. the suite was at first intended to be hurst lair. but he built the third floor for himself and this became the vip suite where guests such as wiston churchill would stay. marion slept in the third floor but as hurst mistress she reigned supreme over the rest of the castle. as a hostess she was rationallable making the famous and unknown -- she was remarkablable making the famous and unknown equally comfortable. he would call in his wife to oversee the castle and his guest. mariam would leave and not take kindly to the situation. but hurst time at the castle was simply showcased. his vast time would be spent with

you remember william hurst? was the guy, sue can cane, and his model of journalism is first get yourself a gold mine; right? be born into a really, really, really wealthy family, and then, you know, buy up all these quality writers and sort of pursue your ideosin karattic vision, and he started on the left. he got a war going all on his own, you know? amazing man, and then moved way to the right in the 1930s, launched these bizarre red hunting sprees and witch hunts and this stuff. fascinating man, but that model is going to survive and thrive. that model, that's the fox news sort of model. in fact, there's all kinds of ways in which they take pages from the biography of william hurst, and you see them doing this all the time. i had another model that i thought would work. no. [laughter] so -- sorry. [laughter] >> thank you, tom. the -- we had commissioner copps here last week talking about the role of the fcc and in prior decades, the fcc played a role of the public's obligations, and these are in a way lapsed,

there is a tree down so avoid eastbound hein hurst, a surface street. no issues for 680 or 580, 680 through dublin and out of the altamont pass, 40 minutes. a lighter volume. we saw good slowing through livermore. not good if you're in it but a fair amount of slowing for the tri-valley commute. back to you. >> power out in the willow area. no stoplights you can tell. >> not that i know of but i'll follow up and get the update before they head out the door. >> if they head out the door, the alarm is going off. rob joins with us a nice forecast. >> a pleasant forecast as we jump to the morning hours temperatures hanging on through the 50s through breakfast time, lunchtime temperatures in the 70s inland. still have the low clouds sticking around places west of the golden gate today, 60s on the coast, 80s in san jose, some low 90s around pleasanton and livermore, not too hot for august. temperatures this time tomorrow will be trending cooler as the sea breeze turns stronger. that looks like a mild start to the weekend ahead. scott. >> all right. thank you,

hurst, thank you. >> i want to address some of what you have said, supervisor mirkarimi. you are correct. the ultimate goal, altman benefit of the justice system is to have every case management system connected sooner rather than later. as good as the work has been within the d.a.'s office, public defender's office, public defender's office, police department, to upgrade their systems, and as great as it is that their age realize efficiencies within their departments, the ultimate benefit of justice is when everyone is exchanging information through the hub. right now, the sheriff's department is the only department connected with the hub. the advent of the jms system, we have automated our five core functions. booking, classification, housing, movement, and release. that has been a sea change of monumental proportions for us. some of the information that we could now share with other departments, particularly, the police department -- i point out another benefit of justice is certain economies of scale -- a bit of a diversion here. the police department and sheriff's de

it could vary from a couple of hur hurst. someone young with many years ahead of them could go for a high price. then there were issues of taking the whole family. part of the family. >> who was peter? >> peter was one of the car pen she shers. there were five black carpenters that worked on the white house and also started built the capitals. there was a fierce negotiation right after the constitution was ratified. the debate over where to have the seat of government. the south wanted to have this seat in the south. compromise was worked out that during the 10-year period it was estimated it would take to build this brand-new city that new government would not be in an old city, it would be a brand-new city. that the government could be in pennsylvania. at the end of that 10-year period, at 1800, it would come back to this new city, which was washington, d.c. this land was seed the by marinovicing and virginia at the time. it was jungle. trees and rocks. that was it. that whole area. this area had to be cleaned. threes had t

is robust efforts to get the right information to our producers throughout the country so if people hurst who are in vacation on martha's vineyard while so many americans are suffering aren't enough to make the two thousand and twelve election the g.o.p. has to lose perhaps being tone deaf will take obama out of the running but i suspect the real powers that be will be will really be behind obama in two thousand and twelve because. primarily he's been an ineffective manager of the exploitation machine that is the u.s. federal government and he can't even keep starbucks c.e.o. howard schultz from launching a moratorium on corporate campaign contributions well. we know who the government really works for and the boss isn't happy either. and for our first police state up it's night we go to england where they are still dealing with the aftermath of last week's rights and the government is dealing with them very poorly the prosecutions in the wake of the rights that filled every jail cell in london have been unprecedented now the world is up in arms over the sentencing of two young obs as the

hurst civic service, that we treat it fairly. you have to listen for a long amount of time, and you could still abstain at the end for boating. all of those same chords that occur in the same area where we do have civic duty are not abandoned. the other civic duty we did the side of society to abandon decades ago was the draft. we did that because we did not think coercion was compatible with our principal government. i think the argument to move in a society where you will be forced to be free even if you do not are find your $20, $50 and can test your right. restricting your ability not only to not speak, but not speaking if you wish to do so. we should be able to do that in the voting booth because we do not want to vote for people when they put twiddled the and twiddled gum up there. to go it 80% turnout, 50% usually in presidential election, one-third of midterm elections, 25% of local elections, what would define something that is not a democracy. what it 2% to 4 percent voted? would you call that a democracy? >> it to rest
