>> i don't think at this particular point they do. that's why you've created this sort of interim haitian recovery commission, ah, reconstruction commission. you've, you've created, again, going back to what i call this hybrid, ah, entity which is sort of part haitian, part international community, part n.g.o.'s, part u.s. government. ah, i think that it's, yes, the, the standard sort of talking point in washington for the administration is, yes, we're going to build haitian democracy. the bottom line is, are they capable to do it? do they have the institutional capacity? the institutional was, was heavily hit by the earthquake, ministries were destroyed and everything like that. democracy has to have institutions, it has to have security, otherwise, it's just a word that we use, ah, that makes us feel better. >> let's talk about the earthquake for just a couple of minutes here. the natural disaster revealed construction problems, regulation problems in haiti, ah, that obviously have been going on for a long time. the question is, has

>> i think, your honor, the -- mr. chief justice, the only way i can answer that is to say this court has -- has never made determinant of whether there are dissents. i mean, take the brogue in this court, two justices of this court dissented on merits and yet you still found that the law was clearly established. >> what we said in wilson, i'm quoting, judges -- when judges disagree on a constitutional question, it is unfair to subject public employees to money damages for picking the losing side of the controversy. >> i mean, but i think brogue goes the other way. ultimately, all i can say, mr. chief justice, is i think that the -- the fact that there were dissenters can't be dispositive, and ultimately this-- >> well, i agree with -- i agree with that, of course, but at the same time, it does seem that you're imposing a very heavy burden on the officers in this area when do you have a situation where eight judges, when they conduct their research, come out the other way. and that type of burden is particularly heavy w

yeah, i think you can recover. i mean, like a lot of it depends on environment, like you got to get away from what you're doing and, and you know if you want to, if you want to do it, you can. so daphne, how do we change the paradigm? how do we begin to use positive language, person-centered, people- first type of language? we begin by being conscious of the words that we're using and there are a number of words and papers and reports and so forth out there that promote words like health and recovery and person-centered and mutual support and so forth. and so there's a, there's a model that talks about going from unconscious incompetence at something, where you, where you do something and it's not what you want to do but you're not even aware of it, to conscious incompetence where you begin to be aware that these aren't the terms i want to use, to conscious competence and we're starting to be more aware of the terminology we're using to unconscious competence. and i think that's what we want to do as a field, is mov

i would think that ms. liu would have to recuse herself at a time there was an ethical issue regarding the city of san francisco. finally, let me say this. i would like to see this committee start appointing more seniors ouon commissions and boards. seniors. a lot of wisdom, and most importantly, they're not looking for the next step on the latter, so that can speak more frankly without fearing the consequences of their proposals. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is mike. thank you for the opportunity to address you. as ms,. liu indicated, we serve for the san jose ethics commission since 2002. i have worked with 25-30 commissioners, all of whom have been appointed or served on the commission since 2002, and i really have to say that i think ms. liu as all of the qualities past of a commissioner with not only in forcing the ethics laws but also interpreting to the public with those ethics laws require and what impact they may have. over the course of time i have been dealing with an open go

i think. and so those might be all part of nuances that help bring up that definition of community policing. and i honestly don't believe it's you or the department that has to be the one saddled that answers this question. i think what happened personally, was an absence of leadership in the chief executive's office years back that did not commit to a certain strategy and that you've had floating definitions and you've had very, very vague kind of insistence on the department on what to carry out. and you and various predecessors of you have been really, you know, i think the unenviable ones who have been in the position of trying to answer these questions that many neighborhood want to see answers to. and i think that's an impossibility. i really do. but i do think what's possible is that if you had your counterparts from the other stake holders of the criminal justice system, then i think that we've got something real and meaningful. and if it's committed in the department general order, thi

i think those are the answers. i would hope that we can see how this thing works, because i think it has a lot of potential. the protection for the neighbors -- in six months, we look and see how things are working out. vice president miguel: i do not think he thoroughly understood me. i have been in the retail business. you do not sign a lease which is, believe me, going to be more than six months on the belief you will lose a major portion of your income, possibly, at that point. you just do not do it. it would be absolutely ridiculous to put yourself under the control of the decision by this commission at a six month. -- at a six month point. president olague: i don't think the motion is really like motions we have made in the castro and other vibrant residential corridors. i think a six month review. is something we have asked of other -- i think a six month review is something we have asked of other sponsors in the past. 90% of the time, we found most project sponsors have worked cooperatively with the neighbor

there's probably, i think that my kids know that i love them. >> charlie: how do you think they know. clearly they must know. >> i tell them i love them all the time, snuggle around, hug around a lot. the same way anybody else conveys it. >> charlie: if they disappointed you in school, you would tell them what? >> well again, i think of the message i don't love you if you are not good enough. that's terrible. >> charlie: because you do love them. that's a given. >> you have disappointed me so therefore i love you less. i think that's bad parenting. i don't think that's what i'm conveying. i think what i would like to think i'm conveying is i believe in you so much that i know that you can be excellent with hard work and i'm going to be in the trenches working with you. and i'm not going to let you give up, you know. that's how i think i'm conveying it. >> one of the conventional wisdoms which i suspect is less and less true, it is the notion that if in fact there's so much emphasis on rote learning, that you do not give space for the development of the power to be creative and innovat

i think. one well. we haven't got the live shows here very safe getting ready because their freedom. hi guys welcome michel ancel on the alone a show we've heard about our guests have to say on the topic now we want to hear from our audience says go on to you tube to video response or to twitter for part of the question that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday in the show your responses playboy. but wisconsin union battle has taken a very personal and a very scary turn in recent weeks or scott walker and several other state republicans have gone after the e-mails of people who have been outspoken against the anti-union legislation one professor in particular was put in the spotlight university of wisconsin is william cronin wrote an op ed piece in the new york times he learned that a public records request had been filed by the state republican party for all of his personal e-mails to be released to the public under the freedom of information act as grown it is technically a public worker n

and i certainly think we should go. we put a lot of money into community policing survey a couple of years ago. and i wanted -- one of the things that survey said is you aren't going to have community policing unless you define it. when i read the ordinance, i was actually surprised that all this time we've never defined it. i thought we had. everyone has an idea of community policing. that's the problem we have in this precinct is everyone's idea is different. and this is something that i believe the study says it has to be from the command staff down and has to be embraced and has to be defined. without defining it, there is no community policing. so i was a little shocked that after all this time, we haven't defined it. and i read the ordinance, it talks about what community policing is. it's a philosophy. and what it includes is things that we talked about before. foot patrols, formal process, which community members can interact with personnel, community building activities. it actually just defines it. and i think

[laughter] i do think it's partly the maturation of the generation i have to say. ere thinking about, you know, that the regime's were getting sort of long in the tooth and we were suggesting they had gotten very long in the tooth by now we were speculating about the next generation and who would be the people who would come out and so forth and that was the era of khaddafi and mubarak and all of the people we used to talk about that seemed to be the kind of inevitable transfer of power. there didn't seem to be any other way of how you would get to the next generation was only through the squall site marked cool way which nobody thought was satisfying, nobody thought that would work but they didn't seem to be the way to get to what turns out to be the next generation. some of the things interesting is across all of these three countries -- and i would argue this is true in the region as a whole there is the lost generation of the parents and they have to concede and this gets to this is it my turn because i'm old enough to do it or am simply going to say the kids ca

when i think about afghanistan i always have a difficult time thinking my way through the entire situationthe first thing that really worries me is the pakistan situation. we've been over that many, many times. but i guess the way i'd say it is pakistan is ambivalent about how to deal with militancy across the pakistan-afghanistan border and even their own country. that's issue number one. i do think we're make something progress on the military front, particularly, first of all, some success, military successes, with nato and other forces. and most important, it seems to me, improving the capacity of the afghan security forces, the army, and the police force and that's ultimately our exit ticket out of there. it remains to be seen where we can get enough of that accomplished by the 2014 date talked about and also there's the issue of cost. a force like this, we estimate, is going to cost five, six, seven, maybe $8 billion a year to support, and the afghan government, the national budget at the moment is slightly less than $1 billion. so they're going to be on some kind of international li

absolutely i think that's that's very true a very accurate way of putting out i don't really think that this dispute that is going on at the moment is really about the american people coming to some definite or new position in the abstract about collective bargaining what we're talking about here is the fact that as thomas friedman a very prominent newspaper columnist here has said government in the united states over about the past half century has been primarily about giving things to people and now simply because the united states is essentially living beyond its means government is going to be about taking things away from people to an extent and the question is what will people accept in the uk way what will they give up even if you look at last year's congressional elections obviously a lot of republicans got elected with tea party support tea party supporters paint themselves as pretty fiscally conservative and that's fine but what about the actual concrete measures or manifestations of that people support raising the social security age pensions as it would be no one in other co

don't know of a single authenticated case i think we've all probably had experience. i don't myself the media correspondents are telephoto you want a confined in libya and the story you get from everybody is we're right here where i am the same shooting and it sounds nasty but i'm not going outside to look and yes i have heard stories of bombs but none of them in my area that seems to be the general picture so i don't believe it really i think is disproportionate for that when i want to talk about them fly zone and that's why both the british and americans have been talking about being ready and there's nothing wrong with telling your military to be ready for a contingency that's a different matter i'm also the chances do you think that if nato and other countries don't say ok the u.s. and u.k. go ahead is there any way i think most of like most of the likely it will be a big job and we are already pretty heavily involved both and we we've got a lot on our plate with afghanistan the americans are probably not on their plate with iraq and afghanistan i think it's most

well there is a parallel but i think there are some important differences in the one i think i would focus on is that the although there's been some. rather bellicose talk from both london and washington and paris. the more they've actually done is go to school to council straight away and they got full agreement in the security council unanimous support for a resolution which didn't refer to war to military action or anything of that kind so it's not. a close part of i don't think so many persons at least partially responsible for what's going on in libya and what we saw in egypt previously after all london did support these regimes for as long as it seemed to fix well i think that's a bit much actually i mean the british press take that view of the british press of which going on about you know the meeting in the desert between when tony blair and i think it's true they did meet and that doesn't lead to the deal and it was a very useful deal for us but after all sarkozy and berlusconi and condi rice and mr putin and everybody else have all done deals with libya so there's nothing s

because i think -- i think the solution -- i think -- i guess i think it depends, but i think the real key in new orleans actually wasn't the hurricane. the real key was leslie jacobs, paul pastarak and a whole generation of other people in new orleans, most of whom -- many of whom were teach for america alums who were deeply determined to address what they viewed as the single most unconscionable crisis in our country. and who understood what you understand especially after you taught successfully in this context, which is there isn't a silver bullet. you change a governance and that's going to fix the problem for our kids. >> so you had a nucleus poised to take an opportunity and the opportunity was katrina and that allowed an all of lot of change to happen in a short period of time. >> yes. >> i don't have an argue with that version of events. do you have an argue with that version of events? [laughter] >> we have these nucleus in place and we could put them in place in lots of different cities but it doesn't change the fact that you have an awful good by blowing it up. >> you know,

>> i think floyd land is, don't believe a word he says. have i very good reason not to believe he a word he says. i don't find his accusation credible. i think he had a real ax to grind. the interesting thing about the accusations so far in every instance against lance have come from people who had arguments with him. legal arguments with him. until one of these accusations is ratified by someone who doesn't have an ax to grind f. that happens i will say, hey, you know, what he was guilty, he lied to me, he lied to everybody else. that said, you know, i real like lances a human being. i really do. i think he's a good person. nothing can alter my money on that, nothing. >> how long did you work with him/ >> couple years. we did two books together. we work aid two good years on and off and remained good friends. i respect him a lot. nothing can change that either. he's done more in the fight against cancer. he's done more fund-raising. he's done more raising of morale, raising of hope than everybody in the fight against cancer. i will always

i think if d.r. is taken at some point, i would like that to be a condition. >> this is a hard one for all of us, obviously. for me, the reason it is difficult this because i respect -- this will sound off, i think but this is the reality. we have four russian hill association to oppose the project and will work closely with a lot of these organizations and we are sensitive to what the neighbors input because they lived there and they understand the conditions in ways that sometimes many of us don't. it is hard for me to dismiss frequently what the neighbors have to say. i am not entirely opposed to this project. i think a project of this type could work at this site. this was in 2008 which was the date when they started to use this as a commercial parking space at a higher level. this has been about three or four years. >> it seems that there is a possibility that this will be coming back as it continued item unless we take the are -- unless we take dr. we don't know how many parking spaces have been

this city well, but i think it is unfortunate that we find ourselves in this position. but i will be supporting the motion. thank you. supervisor avalos: just a couple things i want to respond to. i am not sure. i'm not sure if charlie talked about his ethnic background, but he is egyptian american. he has ties to turkey. i think he adds a level of diversity to the committee. i think it is also important to note the work someone does in the community and the process about work. if you are someone who is part of bringing new views into the way that the cccd does its deliberations, that is adding new input and dialogue from community members whose voice would not be part of that. that is part of the mission. charlie was part of the change in how the community has done its work. the thing that is really important to consider. i think a good community organizer, a good community worker -- that person's views change as community members are involved in the process. it is about dialogue and communication. i do not think a good community organizer is someone who shuns the ideas

i think the stars are getting aligned. american businesses, particularly large and mid-sized companies, are very profitable. their balance sheets are very healthy. credit is starting to flow. i sense that business people are growing more confident. so all the things are coming together for much better job growth which i would anticipate as we make our way through the year into next. >> susie: mark other we do have these higher oil prices. do you think it will make employers a little reluctant to hire at a time their costs are going up? >> well, at the very top of the list of things that make me nervous are indeed the higher oil price. i think we request digest the little over $100 a-a barrel of oil. anything above that for a time, than we have a problem. there's nothing that is a greater hardship on the economy. >> susie: bob, will private businesses make up for the slack in government jobs? >> pretty much the same thing. i think the oil prices are not insurmountable at this level. i think as they begin to move up they beco

i do think a large part of our problems in the city are financial, economic. with my background, i did think i would be able to add a lot of value, and that is why i decided to get into politics. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? >> i have to say, i'm one that has been trying to get away from the political spectrum dialogue in san francisco. i would just say, generically, i think i am in the middle. i'm a moderate person. nationally, i think we are a little bit left in san francisco, but i think i am a socially liberal person. that is what i tend to practice what i preach. >> what did you learn campaigning for supervisor, and was there anything that surprised you? >> that is a great question. i have never run for office before. i am new to the political world. for me, the learning curve was the best he could be. there were a lot of lessons to be learned in running a race in san francisco. a few that stick in my mind -- money does matter. raising money. that is the simple, somewhat unfortunate fact of life. i think really having a message

but i think that is natural. i accept that and i -- deal with that in that way and i must say that i think we're doing quite a good job. >> now your kids, what do they do for a living? >> well, my older children, two of them are in my -- my firm. and the third one has a foundation. she is committed to tibet. we have made deal, you know, at the time between the -- the spaniards and the portuguese, we divided the world. my daughter gotti bet and i got the rest. -- got tibet and i got the rest. >> do you have younger kids? >> yes. >> and how old are they? >> 14 and 16. they have suffered from being rich kids and having a famous father. it has made things -- it created problems. but i think that we are coming through them. >> what kind of problems? >> well, problems of embattlement and not enough material constraints. everything done for you so you don't have -- don't develop a sense of accomplishment from doing things for yourself. >> should people be allowed to make the kind of money you've made? >> not necessarily.

i think -- i take the same philosophy in meeting with gen york. yes, i have brought him into the office. we have had a good discussion, and we are talking about my 49ers, our 49ers. he lives in the city. so i. we began by asking what we're trying to do here. there are economic realities coming to their, and what i want to do is make sure that the york family feels very welcome in san francisco. they are part of our history, part of our callers, if you will, when we are talking about sports. i think he felt that there was no politics involved. it is something back has a history of being and we want to talk to him about the opportunities we can do together, so look for --

it was probably a little bit too strong a term i think i think what you just said i mean there is a large and very vocal and active irish american community in this country and they were often at odds over this but there was a sizable portion of that community that supported because of the r.a. that supported the irish cause of getting the british out of ireland and we're seeing something very different in the muslim american community right now is that these are people who have them they don't have the kind of political voice in the political muscle right now not yet but the irish americans did and the debate in many ways looks very different than the paid over over irish terrorism did in the eighty's and do you think that considering peter king's history and his past he should be in the position that he's in now chairing the summer and security committee well i think he probably shouldn't be in this position just because he's made such a circus of this whole thing he said very very offensive and i think it unfair things about american muslims he said there's too many mosques in th

i think of that as the next wave of this transition. i wrote a book in this 1998 called "unleashing the killer app." at that time we were talking about web sites. web sites were in very early stages. well, now, of course, what's causing the disruption are these much, much smaller pieces of software, mostly running on mobile devices, and the app economy, i think, is going to be the next big wave of how the internet disrupts tradition always of doing his. >> host: what are you doing here at the state of the net conference? >> guest: many years ago i started to realize the way in which governments interact with how disruptive technologies work could have a big impact on how quickly things got adapted or how well they got adapted, and i started advising my clients to not pay so much attention to their lawyers, but to actually engage themselves in understanding how policy was being debated about core technologies that their business relied on and making sure that they understood not just the technologies, but how government may or may not int

i think you will see different buyers buy different cars with different body styles. at's a good thing. >> minivans, that's the hole i see in north america. what are your thoughts? >> i would love to see a minivan in north america for general motors right now. i used to work on minivans. i know how useful they are. i have three kids. people want utility. utility is second to none. how you do that, you can go through the market in a reconfiguring basing. my seat folds to the floor, my roof comes off -- whatever that is, you can do all of that, or do it in a way that hasn't been done before in a size not done before in the united states. >> that's a compelling idea. >> i would like to watch to see what you do with that, but we are out of time right now. >> great to have you. >> scott burgess, peter de lorenzo, great having you guys. i'll be back in a minute with closing thoughts. >> general motors has momentum in the marketplace these days, as long as the american car market continues to improve, g.m. should do well. join us next week as we look at mo power. it's an ital

i think that is where we need to listen and learn. i hope that you will find a lot more time to come to a conclusion. we are required to do form-based zoning, which would also look at the context of the board law, which any other infill project would occur. i do like the idea of taming the infrastructure of san jose. i hope that we can draw on defining what type of space configuration for that street is correct this overpass, i hope it is something that can happen soon. whenever i drive under the thing, i wonder what is out there. i would feel insecure walking over it because it is pretty threatening. it is the worst example of what a pedestrian bridge should be. it is scary. i thought commissioner antonini's comment about more comprehensive looking at transportation connections in the big picture in the future we are good. i did not hear him say it needs to be resolved in glen park, but creating discussion would be very fruitful and healthy to avoid short-term thinking, which many of the previous decisions in this area were. you have

i think it's a very thin market. as i said i think driven by speculators, so it's crazy -- it's pretty easy to overcome it. i would argue it's the right thing to do economically. so i don't think that's of much consequence either. i would think outside japan there will be some of these very isolated little supply shortages. >> will we be able to get our ipad2? >> what was when i heard about, and china there's a concern about baby for not which comes from japan, and babies get attached to a certain kind of on the. i think that's a solvable problem. [laughter] so i think the message still is, that this is not a big economic crisis. this is manageable. and what people ought to focus on is just the tremendous loss of human life that has occurred in japan. >> what about debt levels? is that a problem? >> japanese debt differs from american debt. the japanese only to themselves. they can handle this either by issuing some more debt to the citizens or raising taxes on their citizens. and their citizens can easily afford to p

i think it's. a low in the well from the crosstalk i'm peter lavelle the battle for libya is the so-called humanitarian intervention there so noble and straightforward must intervention lead to military occupation and human suffering and is the libyan scenario a new template for disaster. they can. discuss what's happening in libya i'm joined by david gibbs in tucson he's a professor of government at the university of arizona in london we have i bet she is a senior lecturer in international relations at the university of kent and in beirut we cross the caution he is a professor of political science at the american university of beirut and another member of our crossfire team illinois hunger all right folks this is crosstalk that means you can jump in anytime you want if i could go to london first to know if how would you describe events being played out now in libya because i've been covering this watching this very closely obviously it's my job in and that's what i do for this program and it seems

pretty soon i think maybe in the next ten twenty years. but i don't believe this will change lives so drastically as you said i think i've official intelligence and a good sort of enhanced ground of what we have. and. i don't believe the changes but i'm just so dressed up i think i prefer the intelligence can be useful in many other ways you know it's counsel just you and your relationships for example you. know that you actually mean you know well that you should divorce the wife because there's it's going to get a little like my facebook is that what you just made the right there i'm sure fifteen years ago. for some people yes. but the majority i hope you're. ok. why didn't you oh what you doing in the silicon valley what why aren't you doing the same thing in russia i am doing the same thing you are yes in fact it was the other way around i started investing in russia ten years ago and then you moved away and made millions in a van for eight years ago since losing to russia and then on the last two years it was a little bit of both and w

i think it's actually a story. it's a i think it's a complicated set of questions but we're certainly not helped by media who go out looking for minorities to blame and to encourage this kind of feeling i think that most people who actually live in areas where there are muslims and who see them every day know that it's only a small minority of them that would advocate terrorism or. extreme versions traditions which would be of the oppression of women and although it's i think it's it the trouble is that most people are learning about it from the media and from people like tommy and they get very worried what's happening to the country and i think it's enormously exaggerated and it's not a healthy way to deal with it do you think about that i mean you're part of the problem not part of the solution. here are here that we are a symptom we are a symptom of the problem if you get down to the root cause of the problem and deal the with it there would be no english defense league is small talk about small numbers and a h

so, i think you know, i think from my perspective, when people say to me well, you know, eight b. and c. all things the drug companies did, i don't argue that at all and it is usually true, and i'm thankful that here we don't need to rely on the drug companies. i do think, to get into your sort of point about how do you deal with gray, i think that is also a problem not just around medicine but science generally and an example that really helps clarify what i am thinking of around this is climate change. you know, this number is one i am pulling out of not thin air but not exactly what the number is. so, there is like 89 or 93 or whatever percent research that has strong indications that human beings have a very large role in climate change going on. and then there is 11 or seven or whatever percent of studies that either have results that contraindicated at or are much more vigorous. so there has been in the climate community for a long time this incredible anxiety that if there was acknowledgment that it was 93% of the evidence as opposed to 100%, you know global warming denied,

i think they would be very, very large. so, with that, i hope that triggers some discussion, get everyone thinking about some of the problems we're going to face. there are many more problems than this but i just wanted to highlight one as an example for everyone. so thank you for letting me discuss this with you today and we'll proceed with a discussion period. . >> okay, i'm going to come back up so just so i can spot people in the audience. i understand there are staff with cordless mikes around available to come to your seat if you want to speak. i'd just like to start the discussion off with a couple of points. first of all, you know, we went pretty quickly from optimism and high level of discussion about measures that could be taken to change things and i work for a mayor who is an optimist and i just love it. i love it when he announces stuff like this because it gives us the permission to go out and do dramatic things. but then you have to listen to the people who actually make these systems work and talk to them abo

i don't think there's another civil war. i see a dictator and some of his army and a lot of his paid mercenaries brutall brutally sug a popular democratic up rising and no one is introducing ground forces on the ground and it inhibits the conversation to even say that and they should recognition the provisional government in bengasi and i think we should arm the rebels and deny qaddafi the free use of the skies over libya. if we do those three things both for moral reasons, which i think are obvious. we're talking about helping autonomous people liberate itself from one of the most deranged dictators of modern times and talking about placing the united states in the forefront of helping peoples, arab peoples, indigenous people, authentic people, use any adjective you want achieve democracy on their own and if we do this i think we'll have done the right thing. >> charlie: jessica, is this the right time for the united states to be on the right side of history? >> i think the right side of history is a different set of activit

i think as susan rice said, i think this morning, obviously that should be an option that we should consider and by the way the british and the french are doing things to help out as well. i am told secondhand. >> well, let me pick up on that, because some of your colleagues, not you but some of your colleagues have suggested the mere fact that we are relying on a coalition to push u.n. 1973, push the envelope on that, is going to cause problems, that there will be sustained effort that is required over weeks or months will be much more difficult. >> fair point? >> i think wherever we can find coalitions and build them, we should take advantage of that. there is no doubt that the british and french are especially way out front on us on this, the french recognized the government, the french were the first to fly the sorties and so there is no doubt about that. but to have the arab league endorse a no-fly zone i think was an important step. i think it was probably the catalyst in the decision-making process by the president and, of course, being able to get the security council resolution, but

their funding i think they might be better off without me i personally think they should have to compete with everyone else i don't think it should be government funding but i disagree with your point that you think that if they were government funded they would be this fantastic organization that is journalistically looking into everything i've lived in london for a year as a grad student i watched the b.b.c. this is no unbiased pinnacle of journalism. you seem to think that government funding will be a news organization since most of us in the different lives in your four year olds . will seem different newscasts that any might take you'll never ever hear the corporate media talk about the problems of corporate control in america. and discussion that's why and that's why you know us uncut is not being covered frankly republican chairman of the homeland security committee peter king kicked off his hearings into american muslim communities this week also this week a neo nazi christian white supremacist not a muslim was arrested for attempting to blow up a martin luther king day parade la

i think it's very important, i do think it's an opportunity. one of the things that we're doing in new york is that, we've taken the language that samhsa has promoted and we have sort of tweaked it. we have a one-pager, two-sided, that we are going to be taking to every meeting, every meeting with a provider, every convention, everywhere. because we do think that language is important and there is an opportunity. we are working with the treatment system on this whole move towards the recovery framework and language is very, very important. the whole idea that, that recovery is self-directed, we need to be able for people to self-talk. one of the things when john was talking about the disease, one of the things that i remember very clearly is, how the addict feels about themselves and how the language really impacts you, being called a junkie, being called an addict. you begin to believe that. you begin to, to enact that behavior. so it's, very, very important that while people are in treatment and not only treatment, the other pathways, the fai

>> i think the japanese were well prepared. i would say that we are well prepared in the areas where vulnerable to tsunamis. the tsunami warning system seems to have worked well. there are similar plans are made in the u.s. to arrange for evacuation routes in the event of earthquakes, of tsunamies and earthquakes. so i think our degree of preparedness and the japanese degree of preparedness are quite similar. we learned a lot from each other. after a big earthquake like this there will be effortses to look at what worked and what didn't work and fix the things that didn't work. >> rose: what surprises you about what you have seen so far? >> this was much bigger than we expected to see on that part of the what's called the japan trench, subduction zone. and one of the things we've been learning ever since 2004 was, before 2004 we thought we knew which piece of subduction zones could have these really big earthquakes. the sue nationalia earthquake and now this on one-- the sumatra earthquake and now this one what the earth often d

i think there are a number of recommendations in the report -- >> i do think, if i may, -- if i may comment on your thoughts, i think there are a number of recommendations in the report that have a strong benefit to us. some of the steps, for example, under the heading of behind the meter, you know, customer decision making, could be modifications to building code that would require residences and businesses to take certain steps, like the retrofit on re- sale for water. maybe this is -- there is a re- sale for electricity. energy efficient programs that are already available to them through the state. payer program that pg&e administers -- the state rate payer program that pg&e administers. we could do a relatively low- cost source of public-policy change that would give us a good bang for the effort for achieving those goals. to the extent we would come to you and make a recommendation for providing specific incentives or partnering on the combined heat and power program, something like that, and we would be happy to delineate within our timeline a next steps section that appears early in

i think the city's real fiscal risk is in the first. -- the first area i alluded to. an area of high vacancy. whether or not there is a tax cut. and we recommended excluding all of those except for one, which appears to be necessary to lee and twitter. -- timbaland twitter -- to land twitter. supervisor mirkarimi: -- >> i was particularly interested in the larger ones. very high it -- rates. >> -- supervisor mirkarimi: you said low asking rent? >> yes. supervisor mirkarimi: one of the sort of spillers is making the area attractive, correct? -- one of the sort of pillars? i think that it adds to the aura of a more inviting area, is that not correct? >> that is part of it. some of it is just different composition, the increased economic activity in the area when twitter and other businesses come to the area. >> but -- supervisor mirkarimi: but let's be specific. this was an area where we were debating on the community justice center, the cjc, that is not also in antidote? -- an antidote? i just want to understand that as in accessory to this strategy, -- as an accessory

we don't have those in the uk >> great, that's great. >> i think that's a fantastic question. really, how do we manage the uncertainty of it. i wish i had a fantastic answer, but i'll try. we can't know with any degree of precision what is going to happen in the future. so the way i think we try and approach this is first of all, you have the types of solutions you look at differently, which i think is the point you are just making, is that you have solutions which are more adaptable, the nature of the solution is more adaptable to future change so you can adjust it as you go forward. the second thing is you move forward in increments. you don't try and plan a solution now for what is going to happen in 2080 or 2100. you start to go down the road within the bounds of current certainty and in a direction which takes you -- in the direction of the ultimate goal so you don't have to, as will said, unpick in 20 years time and re-engineer what we've done over the first 20 years. we have to just be certain enough now to say the next 20 years to make a start now. there's a danger that

>> i don't think so. i think when we look at what's happened over the last several weeks and months, we see that the president has for most purposes until last weekend tried to manage this situation, i believe. i think he's tried to manage the process. ultimately i think this will be a negotiated settlement where you have yemen's power working to come to a settlement. it's obvious that the president cannot stay in power until 2013. this cannot go on for two more years. that's been moved up an awful lot in light of today's events and what happened over the weekend. >> suarez: is this more like tunisia, more like egypt? or still has the potential to be more like libya? >> i think we don't know. honestly, no one knows what will happen in the yemen. it seems clear that the president will not last much longer the way things are going. it is very clear that while there is a potential for violence to get out of hand-- and i don't think anybody wantst to get tat r-- i think the fear is that it may escalate uninte

>> i do not agree with that, and i do not think that is what the controller said. agree with the controllers analysis that enterprise zones have provided very mixed results -- i do agree with the controller's analysis. jobs in blighted areas. i absolutely understand that criticism, but i think the controller wrote -- comptroller 's report is that it would not be justified and would not like reproductive unless there are other elements and other commitments made by the city to make this tax break something that is likely to be effective in producing the type of results that we want, including the commitment to the area, and other programmatic commitments that the city is making, so the tax does not just sit alone, because when it sits alone, it cannot provide the type of catalytic activity that you want it to provide. because this is a net new proposal that requires the establishment of a base year of payroll tax continuing to be paid throughout the life of the exemption, it is very different from an enterprise zone. you have to grow in order to take advantage of th

>> i think tace value. -- i think it is a value. it's something you feel and suspect. if you cover a lot of college football, you read isolated account of crimes being committed on campus. think the story concludes 7% of athletes at the top 25 football programs have some sort of criminal record. sexual assault is a concern. it's been a nagging question for -- do -- years dorks college athletes -- and through college athletes -- do college athletes commit crimes against women at a proportionally higher rate? you would be tempted to think so from reading the newspaper sometimes. that's a good question. and we're certainly more concerned if a normal student has a criminal record and is on campus. that's something everybody wants to know, right? if there's somebody in a freshman dorm that has a criminal record and you're a parent or freshman living in the dorm, you would like to know that. >> are you surprised about -- >> i'm not surprised. i'm surprised -- the thing that's most surprising is those teams don't win more f you're going to be that bald facedly -- when more. --
