another important concept is that low dose exposures matter, so we often talk about -- you'll hear like the dose makes the poison, we're finding out over time that that's not necessarily true in the sense that more dose means more bad health outcomes, it's looking like in some cases very minute doses have really major effects, and i want to talk about why that might be, so you see here a picture of some different periods of development that are of concern and these share something really important in common, and that is that these are times when the body's own hormones are orchestrating some complex and amazing things, during the prenatal period where with regard to the breast, you know, the basic structures are being laid down and that is guided by the body's own hormones or during puberty when breasts start to develop, we know that teenagers are like hormonally out of control, the hormones are doing some things there, pregnancy and lactation, and our body's own hormones work at these amazingly small amounts to make these big dramatic changes happen at these important periods of time,

ankle to illustrate a important aspect of how the u.s. intelligence bureaucracy and how the u.s.-china relationship was formulated, some very complicated land rents a bureaucracy and enter service rivalry. >> professor, the oss role is and during world war ii. >> that oss role in china was, again, very complicated story because oss went to china initially with one single most important mission, to establish an independent intelligence operation free of control by no only the chinese, but also by?? other major players of the u.s.? government, namely the big four? the state d?epartment, the arm, navy cmdr fbi. so it was to prove that he can actually coordinate all the intelligence services above the different departments. so they go to china to do a lot of things. and essentially it did not work that way because of a complex command structure in china. the army and navy did not get along.?? the american military command, chinese nationalist leader did not get along, and there was communist forces, nationalist forces. so a total mess. a

it is important. i have to say, there are a lot of people here talking about the pain of this transition. the pain is real. the hard work is real. the professional skills a real. the importance to the city is very real. i don't want anybody to think that it is not. these people are very important to us and we should respect that. with respect to -- and side car, that is an enforcement issue. we are working closely with the city attorney's office to identify our alternatives there, again with the addition hires we will have an effective field presence. if anybody heard the forum on kqed, those services are illegal, unsafe, unacceptable, and we must do something about it.

the swing states so important. once the polls close on the west coast including california we expect a lot of this to turn blue and this is what we are watching. 270 votes needed. look at the latest tally, romey with -- in about an hour once the polls close here we are expecting a lot more blue to show up which means these battleground states become more important. ohio, virginia and florida. want to let you know with in the last few minutes new hampshire as you look here went to the president. take a look at the results can see 55% for him compared to romney's 45%. there are other key battleground state that are really important at this stage. >> we are still watching ohio. that's really the most support state. we are at about 45% of the precincts in ohio have been counted so not quite half. right now the president does have a lead in ohio, 51% to 49%. we are hearing reports from ohio that the president is doing very well in the places he was expected to do well but is doing well in south central ohio and he is --

i think it is important to look at goals carefully. i think that is important to help round out your vision process. >> i am going to keep the green thing in mind. >> thank you for coming. see you next month for "building >> thank you all for coming, i would like to really briefly introduce bonnie angle with the breast cancer fund, she is going to do a presentation for you on prevention, ways to preventolin ks of chemicals in breast cancer and i'll let her talk about the rest, bonnie, thank you for coming. >> alright. thank you all so much for being here today. i'm very excited to be able to give this presentation to you, unfortunately, i was expecting to have a co-presenter who had a minor accident and visited the emergency room this morning instead of visiting us, so we have plenty of folks from the breast cancer fund and other groups on hand to answer questions, but we are missing our policy geru unfortunately, i don't know how much this audience is familiar with it but we've also been meeting and talking about doing a study of expo

that is important. i want to share with you a couple of perspectives on why i think that lens is important on the cac. we are in an area where there has been rapid gentrification particularly in the upper market portion of the plan area. it cannot be understated that there is a low income population that is really vulnerable the displacement. i think that fundamentally that has to be a focus for the cac and someone has to bring that knowledge to the table, whether the person in the low income seat or not. over the last two years or so, in terms of the geography of cac members, they were very overbalanced towards the upper market. all of us a point is were from the castro area; we were not able to find from the district 6 or the -- area. about half of all the plan development commercial and residential is from octavia to the east. at some point that geography knowledge is going to be important to the cac, whether this seat or another seat. those are things that are important in the changeover of the set

that was a tremendously important experience. actually we treated that input from the outreach seriously and we rowntded up the input we got from america's cup and through the progress reports and at the cac meetings of this project and at the hearing we got input as well and on the website you will see pages of community input we managed and structured and categorized it and it's shaping this assessment for us. but i don't want to down play how important it was to play with the america's cup. we piloted and tried our hand at new things and erks lie and a project and carried hundreds of people and that is a pilot project that could have a legacy. we have the bike sharing program this spring and we work with the companies to do a proxy bike sharing program and get it place for the america's cup and valet parking and giving pedestrians real time estimates how long it goes from point a, say the ballpark to the ferry building and helping visitors orient themselves around the waterfront and this is a advantage that we have piloted and

so this is an important policy for the city.fortunately with our first two classes the level of cuts that they've been experienced has not allowed our school district to fully support the program that is needed to do that. i think, also, with our city passing really the highest budget that we have seen in our city's history i think it's more important than ever that we really step our support for your families and our kids. that being said i think that there are a lot of conversations in kind of moving targets as we're finding different moneys coming in from the last fiscal year so i wanted to allow greater time for a conversation to happen about both sources of funding and also specifically how this investment that the city is making, in our class of 2014-15 are going to be met over the next two weeks. so i would like to make a motion to continue this item as well to december 4. and i do want to thank my cosponsors, supervisors campos,ñ mar, avalos and olague. >> president chiu: seconded by supervisor mar. further discussion, s

this is an important policy discussion we need to continue. and i -- where i am uncomfortable lies more with the school district. i just would like to get a better understanding about their expansion plans and how they plan to support these expansion plans. i do particularly have a positive experience for the last two summers, working with providing supplemental summer school instruction particularly for our high school students inside district 10, ycd -- did an excellent job in providing summer enrichment as well as helping kids make that diploma. so in the future i'm sure we have representatives from the school district here. i'd love to talk more about the understanding that you have a 1.6 federal dollars missed out of your budget and if i can get a better understanding of how you get to 2.7 million in your total request for money. thank you. >> president chiu: supervisor avalos. >> supervisor avalos: thank you, president chiu. i wasn't planning to speak on this. i was going to wait until it came back to us in a couple of weeks. but i could

today we have a mazing and important event and we are unveiling a critical center in this community. we will start off with mayors from our city and county mayor lee. please give him a round of applause. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. welcome to sunny dale, our hope sf site, our public housing site, a place we know that people not only want to survive but be part of the great city of san francisco so we are investing in people here. some months ago the police chief and me and others announced our effort to make public safety more important in the city and interrupt the violence, interrupt the patterns that we see with horrible months this year and what they're doing in terms of retaliation and violence among themselves. allow the police department to use the technology that they have and do police predictable policing and getting them the tools and the support from the rest of the city that they can do better predictive policing when it comes to crime patterns in the city and what is going on, but the most important part and you will hear this from the chief, from deanna and mys

while these are important benefits, it's also important to recognize that such youngsters require special services as well. states are obligated by law, in most cases, to provide that help. provision of these services varies from community to community. sometimes the physical therapist, the speech therapist, or the hearing therapist visits and works in the classroom, or sometimes, the child works separately with them. however help is provided, teacher and specialist need to draw on one another's strengths and information to do their very best. woman: very good! take it out! put it on the circle! yeah! when including a child with a disability in a group, we may feel uncomfortable about hw little we know concerning the child's special condition. that's why we need access to specialists, but we also have a valuable contribution to make: that is, to treat the child like the other children as much as possible while at the same time using common sense about what's reasonable to expect. all children have a lot in common, no matter what their disability. they need affection, reasonable expectatio

i think the common core is critically important. elevating standards is important. for me i think there are three things that have potential. they're not easy to achieve. first of all, effectively if they want tomorrow, or it may k-12 teachers america's heroes. they beat the profession that we all aspire to. there would be seen in places like japan, would they call teachers sensei, reflecting what they call lawyers, doctors and university professors. think of the difference between the way the two university professors in america and the way we view k-12 teachers. places like finland have a pretty good at 100% wrong. we trade unionists rather than professionalize. we've decided seigneur geismar port important than excellence. when you do that, which even if it's a race to the bottom and that's what we've created a k-12. second of all, given where we are. i think choice is critical and it's a fundamental but fun of the report. bob was not unanimous, there is enormous support. no one in this room voluntarily agree to send your kid randomly to a school in d.c. understa

i think dug -- drug importation is important. i think it's critical to keep the costs down. i also think that we need tort reform. i don't want to go back and kill it. what i want to do is go back and amend it and make it better and work with republicans in order to find those common grounds where we can make this a health care bill that is representative of you and me and our families, each and every day. you know, orrin started out again, those evil democrats. i'm telling you, there's got to be some good ones somewhere. hatch: there are some good ones, i have to tell you. not many. [laughter] howell: but, orrin, i don't say that about republicans. there's great republicans, and we've got to work together. when we divide our country like you're continuing to do, orrin, it is disruptive, it's bob instructionism, and it doesn't -- obstructionism. >> moderator: let's go to our last question from val hale. >> gentlemen, we're clamoring for more graduates in science, technology, engineering and math. what would you suggest be done to produce more graduates in those areas? >> mod

important analysis and exactly right.ch way the republican party leans after next tuesday does it determine it needs to cut back to the middle and negotiate? or does it feel that the tea party is exactly the most important question of how congress acts and whether or not the president gets things done over the next couple of years. correspondent for "newsweek" and the daily beast am michael tomasky thank you for your time. >> my pleasure. >> eliot: one endorsement we knew was coming. c. montgomery burns of the natural energy of peanuts and delicious, soft caramel. to fill you up and keep you moving, whatever your moves. payday. fill up and go! >> eliot: still to come, if it's the most basic tenant of democracy, why is voting so complicated. we'll talk about our flawed system next. but first jon stewart on ohio. mr. burns on romney and fox and friends on edge. when it doesn't fit anywhere else, we put it in the viewfinder.

equally important to all of that is the question of respect. and i believe that was lacking at your last meeting. people have waited for over three hours to speak.

>> i think my honorable friend makes a very important point. this is a growing area of crime and criminology that is taking place and taking advantage of people using the internet. but often people are very vulnerable. that's why as part of the national crime agency we are setting up a new unit dedicated to tackling this problem that will work across agencies to catch criminals and to take steps that she rightly speaks about. >> thank you, mr. speaker. leader of opposition a moment ago asked prime minister -- [inaudible] by 96%. he did not receive an answer. could ask the prime minister again, youth unemployment has risen by 96%? >> i've given the figures for the work program, 800,000 people taking part, 200,000 people getting worked, and this is again the background were the last quarter unemployment is coming down. the rate of youth unemployment is coming down and that more people in work. that is a record we can build on. >> mr. speaker, a free press is a necessary counterbalance to a strong state. the british people also have an appearance

it became a very important??? ground because all that exist in military generals or admirals' did not like having the overarching intelligence service working under them because they are the local boss. and only in china the command structure was a mess. there was no unity of command, and the creator, the director of the oss opportunity so they invested very heavily and tried to thrive on chaos which oss di cceed to some degree but i write this book because i thought this was a very important ingalls to illustrate and then pardoned aspect of how the u.s. intelligence bureaucracy and home u.s.-china relationship was formulated in this very complicated wallgren def bureaucracy. >> welcome a professor, you had the oss role in china in world war ii. >> the roll was, again, a very complicated story because oss went to china initially with one single most important mission that is to establish an independent intelligence operation free of control buy not only the chinese but also? other major p

who is important?ere's the scoop, right now, there is nobody who can raise their hand and say i can identify who was the leader of the egyptian revolution. there wasn't one. there was a coalition ever-changing coalition of interest. moving as you look at the social media map. you can see that that was there was no one leader. we have got to, we as the government, frankly governments everywhere have to figure out how do they do that? how do they get in to the marketplace of idea. and one of the things we did, not surprising given my background, i was focused on consumer research understanding what was going on. one of the things i found out in government, we spend a lot of time hundreds of millions of dollars looking at economically elites and other elites locking through different lenses. if you look at that way and a classic consumer lens, then if you are a young 20-year-old person in pakistan who never had a job and doesn't belong to a political party. we missed you somehow in understanding what you'

they're both important. one is the concern of barry sudden drops in government expenditure and taxes on january 1 i could have a significant negative shock to the american and global economy. the other is the need for the united states to have a credible fiscal plan over the midterm to deal with what i think is a pretty serious long run fiscal situation. those issues often get mixed together. i would repeat what our finance minister said recently. i do think there solutions to the january 1 situation and a lot of common ground. i would think people would come to those solutions and not wait for a crisis. i hear some people talking about a budget accord. that kind of talk as lister you cannot, you go over a cliff, you cannot be sure what will happen next. with the collapse of lehman brothers, how icing major event can trigger a series of the event. i have every reason to believe these people will come to some kind of agreement on what to do. i also remain, notwithstanding all the difficulties the unit the --

and now we're going to pop into the living room and talk about flame retardants which are an important issue for any firefighters who are working in the field because it's those burns that are going to create exposures, so as folks in the home are thinking about that, once they found that frequent hand washing can reduce the actual levels of these flame retardants because we touch them, they get on our hands, they're in household dusts and make their way into our bodies, so washing them off our hands can reduce exposures, using a vak coupe with a hepa filter and a big move that could come down the pike is going down to legacy fabrics like wool and fabric that don't require the use of these mraim retardants at all and burn much more slowly, this's been some amazing videos that you can look at that you may have seen that show the legacy fabrics burning so much more slowly than the flame retardant treated ones, so that's some important information to have and makeshifts toward slower burning fabrics. moving into the bathroom, we're going to dive into the cleaning cabinet first, so a big s

are very important. they are very important. i think there is maybe a value to jumping ahead and then coming back, because i do think what we begin to do with this bilateral security agreement, whether as well a presence in afghanistan after 2014 or what it will be will affect what happens before then. so let me ask you how important is it in your view, for the u.s. to conclude an agreement with the afghan government to, keep some military presence, troops, etc., in afghanistan, after 2014 and why? >> senator, thank you. i think first and foremost, a bilateral security agreement will be a clear message of commitment for our long-term strategic partnership. we signed it this past may. technical details associated with implementing that agreement. what has been raised on a couple of occasions this morning is the lack of understanding of that commitment, in some cases the lack of confidence that we are committed to the long term. i believe that the bilateral security agreement will have some -- will create momentum on a strategic s

clearly, it's not the only issue that's important for latinos, but it's important that it has enormousolic meanings as well. i'm not sure why this was a great surprise to some. it seemed like it was pretty clear this was a trend that was long evident, and so people seem to be surprised and shocked that all the sudden the latino population, hispanic population is really playing a significantr role emphasizing enormous influence. that turnout in this election coupled with president obama's move on a sort of a dream act light and several months ago also makes one more hopeful that something may happen this time besides avoiding a miss call cliff, immigration reform is frequently mentioned as a high priority for the second term of the obama administration. it will not be easy. we all know that. this is not a slam dunk. it depends on dynamics within the republican party. there's a lot of opposition and resistance to that. we have to watch it closely. clearly, there seems to be more space and more of an opportunity to do something serious on this issue which we eluded to in the report then b
