two eyes, to pick a trivial example, for instance.we don't vary in the number of eyes we have-- that's a cartoon example, but just to pick one-- but we vary in how many friends we have, and we vary in our height, for instance. some people are shorter, some people are taller. and this variation, how many friends we have, we also believe has significance. we've quantified this a little bit. so, for instance, if you look at a random sample of americans and you ask them two very basic questions, "who do you spend free time with?" and "who do you discuss important matters with?"-- which are standard, old questions that are asked in this field to identify who their social contacts are-- on average, people identify four- and-a-half such people. >> hinojosa: is that good? is that normal? >> that's typical. >> hinojosa: it's kind of stayed the same in terms of the united states? >> it has stayed the same across time. it tends not to vary cross-culturally. people, on average, have about four-and-a-half person connections, people that they ident

and so often been humbled by the faithfulness of indigenous people for instance. will such reverence for the earth and if only we western culture had picked up on some of that a few centuries ago we might not be measuring the melting polar ice caps has to gather here the u.n. environmental gathering is gearing up down in rio de janeiro with people from all different parts of the world to are participating in that green a uniquely religious or spiritual perspective into the conversations about climate. >>> how did you get interested in this? >>> there are two pieces to that i would say i was born amidst in the episcopal church and yet i've always felt that as much as i cherished my christian identity that that was not the only path to the ultimate truth to god and known and unknown and the part of life as the most compelling to me. and learning from others not just people that practice my own faith as always been compelling for me. the other is a group with a brother who had down syndrome and he talked me in his life that there really are no other people in this wo

well i think that the main takeaway here like you said is the one hundred thirty instances of excessive or unprovoked use of force i mean the report comes in at just under two hundred pages it's a massive mess of study and it really when you when you read through it you are left with a very clear impression of a police force. incapable of policing itself and that is not bound by any sort of traditional understanding of the laws in america or international laws i know some of the images that first brought attention to occupy wall street were pictures like this we have seen pictures of women being pepper sprayed and i think we have that video and now the officer behind this who actually pepper sprayed some of these women here they are. you know they're getting knocked to the ground really and they're just standing there and one of the officers behind is actually did face some disciplinary action you might remember his name is anthony alone but there have been more as we said than one hundred incidents of this unwarranted force by police and no disciplinary action i guess i just want to ge

for instance, in -- rehouston tiff. for instance in amsterdam, they build 30,000 cycle places. i believe they will be filled from day one on because there is an enormous lot of people who cycle in the netherlands. and yesterday people asked me, tell me a little bit more, what are the benefits? and the benefits are in two directions. one of them that you can't tell in money, but it's about life. it's all the things we care about. it's about when i was in oakland, i asked some kids, do you like cycling? oh, yes, we like cycling. when you ask people around do you like cycling, people like cycling. so it's about quality of life. it's about freedom, it's about convenience, and it's about health. it's about feeling good, living real, being there. but there are also benefits that you can put down, some pitches of -- pictures of, about amsterdam cycling. this is one of my favorite. someone picking up a bunch of flowers with a child on the back seat and this is what we call normal bikes in the netherlands which people use in everyday biking. but also people in formal suits just because

for instance you can use public transportation and pension years for free. and everyone who's attending school secondary schools for free and so on we pay social benefits anyone who. can cough occasions get the support part of people we decreased number employees for the first year to souls and then comparing to two souls and mind we are safe twenty me one lance which is a lot by budget standards just cruising the employment in and then see the whole twenty million layouts it's comparable to follow investment program on the basis so just the way you are restructure your expenditures. in one of the recent interview you said that you read as a brand has a better image the latter in general is it really true and what do you mean. translators better but stronger that's for sure because unfortunately the name of our country with many respects. is known by people in the west in russia and connected to a crisis economical probe problems monologue about russia and also so the issue is concerning our bilateral relations so you have certainly shares concerning human r

for instance, the structural maintenance. and smaller, non-programmatic projects. this is another habit where we do that rather than go through a formal bid process. >> i would be more comfortable with this if there were some way of bringing this to the commission and letting us know about these things before they go. >> there are a number of different ways to address that. i think we could probably provide you with an annual report, and maybe we could go through and do it when we come back to you for the next round of deferred maintenance projects. every year, we come to you and ask you for your suggestions. you asked for an update on those. when we come to you for 2012 profits, we will give you an update on the 2011 project. we could provide you a report on the job order contract that has happened. we could give you a report on it. it is all in there. that way, annually, you are getting to see which products are job order contracts and which are not. otherwise, we are bringing something to you multiple times. the whole point of this is trying to expedite things.

for instance, central richmond, as somebody lives in that area, i suggested those. i do think there is a slight difference as opposed to the richmond. just want to clarify that. >> one last note on what i submitted. if there is no parentheses with a note at the end, it is just the neighborhood boundaries, unless otherwise noted. mr. mcdonnell: is everybody clear on what we're looking at? mr. schreiber: i just had a suggestion that to the extent we use the consultants list rather than ms. tidwell's, that we remove the parent pedicles -- parentheticals for consistency. there will not be some in some districts but not others. mr. mcdonnell: a of the purpose of the parenthetical thoughts was for definition purposes. >> there are findings as to neighborhoods. mr. mcdonnell: jamie? the inclusion of the parentheticals were for what purpose? >> for task force member reference. mr. mcdonnell: the proposal is to remove them and move forward in utilizing the consultants submission of the neighborhood descriptions. that is the question on the table. i am broadening the question

there are enzymes, for instance, that can go through your body and hit those prosperous. the trouble is that the little molecular scissors can necessarily tell the bad cross-links from the good stuff that makes arm and molecular machinery run. they are not specifically used enough to help. >> host: professor, one more example in the technical side before we get into the how and should we side. >> guest: one more example, well, if you look at where energy comes from. are molecular factor takes place with the mitochondria. in effect, that is our power plant. the mitochondria are scattered through every cell. and they have some dna of their own. most of our dna is passed into the nucleus, the dark all at the center of every cell. there is some dna in the mitochondria. they developed mutations. those strands of dna. faster than the dna that are relatively safe and protected inside the nuclear us. aubrey de grey says what if we can take some of that dna and make copies of it and put it into the nuclear where will be safe from mutations, so that than the work of energy producti

s and the second instance. nervous about the fact that they are treating a soup to rather than the problem ah ha i don't know mr role i have to say i know someone that might have a slightly different view than you so i want to get directly into the back on that because i know you think euro europe and the euro is going to they're going to keep it together i do think that the european monetary system or a man tag that the euro will stick together as a currency that no members are going to leave nobody's going to be kicked out i think some members will be at the question i have for rick rick i agree with you this is a solvent see issue but i think what a lot of analysts are missing you know you have the bonds you have the banks and you have the currency the bonds deserve a haircut i wouldn't touch a great bond with a bargepole and some of the other bonds may take care of that i think a lot of the banks are insolvent so i think you're absolutely right about that but that doesn't mean the currency that doesn't mean

chapters of who knows what sneaky back door one percenter agenda some chapters have leaked so for instance there is a foreign investors chapter that requires the u.s. to submit itself to the jurisdiction of foreign tribunals that would be able to award foreign investors unlimited amounts of taxpayer money in lawsuits where these foreign investors attack the u.s. government saying they don't want to meet the same how their safety or environmental or zoning laws as u.s. residents and firms that's one thing we know is in there there's a ban on buy america procurement we know that in there there are limits on regulation of big banks we know that's in there so that's what we know from the leaks it's extremely worrisome what is in the secret tax and those going to be my next question i mean today is the thirteenth round of negotiations started and you know it is very secret very close doors so we don't know too much about what's going on there but what do we know about what has transpired so far. well there been two sets of texts and bleat one of them that's about big pharmaceutical companies be

i think that's a wonderful question i think it's a wonderful question of two points in the first instance given the veracity of the information they put forward in the past who would really care what they said in the second instance what is it that we that we did they can do. this in circumstances that surrounds the euro are not a set of circumstances i think that gives people a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be saved they're dealing in europe and i think we're dealing in the united states with an odd sort of circumstances we are trained to deal with the solvency issue i.e. the old too much by having liquidity they're confusing solvency with liquidity i think perhaps what they're trying to do at the moment is restore confidence in capital markets in the very short time in hopes that a creator or something else can solve their solvency issue in the first instance i'm not particularly interested in what they have to say any more in terms that the excesses and the second instance i'm. nervous about the fact that they are treating a symptom rather than the problem ah ha i don't kno

>> i'd say most are, but i don't think, for instance, dwight eisenhower was. i think he understood how to be a manager, executive, how to get things done. i don't think lyndon johnson was an amateur when he inherited the presidency after the assassination. i think of lyndon johnson who could not give a good speech really who did not speak well for the tell -- teleprompter, but understood how to manipulate the levers in washington. he understood human nature. he understood the strength and weaknesses of the people in congress and how to play on those weaknesses and streps. obama doesn't seem to have the skill set to use human nature as a way of getting done what he wants to get done in washington. >> how many books have you written? >> well, i think this is my 11th book. there's three novels and eight notary public-fiction -- non-fiction books. >> what do you say to critics of your books? you refer this as a journalist book. >> yes. what do the critics say? >> about the accuracy of the stories you tell, ect.. >> right. well, the fact of the matter is that as fa

i'm happy to say that to date we have not had instance to refer something for direct investigation to the civil rights division, but we have had the first set of results that suggest there are some counties we need to do a little deeper digging to determine what's dpi going on. >> if at some point when you've moved along with the program some of us would be interested in seeing some of those reports for our review. >> i think we'd be happy to give the committee or you in particular a briefing on our results and share exactly what we found with you. >> on a local matter, a county south of me, adams county, mississippi, where some i.c.e. detainees sometime housed -- there had been a rash of gang-related violence that led to the death of one guard and several injured. explain to me as well as committee members what kind of oversight do you give private contractors who have contracts with i.c.e.? just kind of describe what you expect of those companies like cca in this particular instance. >> several things. we have detention standards that are worked into our contract with them that they

this is the instance walter zolts jr. realizes he's being followed, stalked by a healthy are 12 to 15-foot shark which may or may not have been a great white. you've seen the picture everybody is talking about. the alone kayaker, the shark behind. >> we're not 100% it's a great white shark, based on the fin shape itself which is remarkably similar. >> reporter: but there is real concern among some experts who are seeing evidence of an uptick in great whites off the east coast. >> i've been telling people for 27 years not to worry about sharks. not to worry about shark attacks. now, i'm advising towns when or when not to close beaches. >> reporter: but skomo questions movies like "jaws" with a mechanical white shark have given great whites a bad rap. >> we often think of sharks as killing machines. that's not what they are. we're actually killing them at a far greater pace than they're biting us. >> reporter: they don't actually hunt humans but what makes them potentially dangerous are these little guys. the seals that hav

for instance, with the road blocks because of the working, they choose the alternative way. why? because it is cheap and because we have an arrangement for a cheaper ticket, and it was faster. and in the end, they stayed with public transport because they realize that and they saw that it was faster and the cost was not higher. that was the reason, because we had an affiliation with that, and those were the reasons they stayed with public transport. >> thank you, peter. sarah? [inaudible] >> i just wanted to ask you to share some of your challenges with having so many cyclists and public transit. i[inaudible] >> we have a system in copenhagen which could be an example. 30 years ago, those running the system, the trains and suburban trains, they said we do not have room for bicycles on the trains. the passengers, they are more important. then gradually, they were pressed, and you were allowed to bring a bicycle on sundays. it worked. that was gradually opened more and more op. in the end, the only restrictions was on a rush-hour , and only in the most busy direction. then when the

in most instances, that translation is available. we also have a translation, as you have translation here, when needed at our meetings. on our website, where most of our information is placed -- since we are on television, that is at sfha.org. there is a google button where you can translate into any language you choose. >> this is more a comment than anything else. this is the police commission. i was hoping there was a mechanism for that kind of thing to move along outside of the community meeting, and i was hoping that is possible. >> you can reach me. i have a regular e-mail address. you can find it on our web site as well, or you can call me directly. please leave a message. i am not always sitting at my desk, and i am sometimes out and about, but if you engage us, we will get back to you. i answer my own phone. >> any further public comment? if not, we will move on to comments and questions. public comment is now close. commissioners, the you have any questions for the acting captain? >> yes. goocommissioner kingsley: >> god e

if you come to brussels, you will see bicycles, for instance, indicated like this is the group. this is the bank. they really take it as an advertisement and part of their policy to show they are progressive because they have their employees on the bike and i think that will help us very much in the choices we make. so i would like to just thank you for your attention. [applause] . >> thank you very much. unless you have some clarifying questions, we will go on to the next speaker, and i believe is mr. nils jensen. he is a senior traffic planner working with strategies and planning in the traffic department of copenhagen. he is educated as a landscape architect starting his career in the danish cyclist federation in the late 1970's, has worked with cycling research projects at the danish technical university, has conflicted to national danish cycle planning and has been involved in european union projects on zero and low-emission vehicles as well as cycling benchmarking. he has been the coordinating of a car-free cities conference and another conference in copenhagen. nils. >> i

. >> this goes to a specific instance of essentially harassing a witness who reported a crime that the sheriff knew what happened and this is just one instance of that harassment is that miss lopez's attorney sent her these threatening letters. >> i think you just said miss lopez -- >> that's correct, i did. >> i'm sorry if i missed it but how does that relate to the mayor's official misconduct? >> as if the sheriff did nothing to stop it and the sheriff funded miss lopez's attorney. >> please, we cannot have comments from the audience. >> to me, that is not relevant. i will sustain the objections and welcome the views of my fellow commissioners. ok, hearing no objection. mr. murton. first objection is to paragraph 6 through 9. i had a hard time seeing the relevance here. i would sustain the objection. i welcome the views of my fellow commissioners. if there are any where you would like to be heard, we will certainly give you that opportunity. >> thank you. commissioners, i want to say this, i recognize things discussed in these paragraphs. they are not flattering but we take to the fa

we have seen instances of smuggling of highly enriched uranium. unfortunately, quantities too small to make a weapon with. -- fortunately, quantities too small to make a weapon with. but we worry are how much is in there in the black market that may have been stolen or gone missing decades ago. and keeping that stock of material away from terrorists. we also see in the manifestoes and in the ideology of terrorists, that desire to do harm on a scale of and millions of people. nuclear material is one of the few ways were you can have an impact of that character. >> when you say on the black market, where do we know material which could be made into a nuclear weapon or some kind of a weapon of mass destruction, where is that coming from? >> we do not know in every case where it has come from. it can be difficult to trace back to its origin when we have seized it, particularly without the cooperation of the nation of origin that it might have come from. we have had a couple of instances which russia, but the russians do not always conform their forens

did it and eliminate every instance of homicide? it did not, but it created better interaction in a written making sure we developed the leadership potential to have a greater response. i would like to be able to get to that new focus in our city as we look toward making our city safer. i admire the work of what we have done in this year's budget supporting the commercial corridors. if we look at supporting our neighborhoods with the same attention, i think we can make headway in making our streets safer and preventing the loss of lives of young people. the focus needs to be in neighborhoods like lake view where we don't have the capacity that it needs to be at. i want to make sure we can continue this dialogue. i'm going to be following up with the mayor's office to make sure we can do it and also on the ground in my district. this hearing was co-sponsored by supervisor cohen who has done a lot of work in her neighborhood to make them safer. i would like to continue this hearing to make sure we can have the focus in sunnyvale, bayv

in most of these instances most clients as do not want to take that on. they do not want to bring it to a judge and have a ruling on that. they are afraid or some clients are afraid to put off the plaintiff as a lawyer. they do not want to take that step and necessarily jeopardize their case or resolve the case. >> what cyrus business? >> -- what size business? >> it is small. a mom and pop business that has been open for 20 years on the sunset. there were on their way to doing the right thing and it were not quite done with their remediation work and they get handed a lawsuit. supervisor cohen: did you turn over the plan? >> i did not. i turned it over. the position i am taking is it is not relevant for the plaintiff's purpose because were identified the barriers. in federal court, there is an order that tells you what you must do, we have a joint inspection and we had one with the experts going out there. we both jointly looked at the work that was planned, the work that had been done, and the work to be completed and we agreed that this business was we

it's still a long way it's still a long way let's take for instance i mean pretty much all of them but let's take for instance libya let's take for a little when you talk about better like our human rights ensured at all when we were better off before the need to live in nation or now i don't know what will the new government in libya do you know the elections and. when i see the new government there is a. government and you are thought to use they expressed their willingness to build the democratic libya to build libya which will live here to the basic human rights and democratic freedoms which is positive it's a long way and the picture once again is pretty much mixed because what we see now is unfortunately the violations of human rights to be to continue. in the way it is a result of the military conflict which raised in the country but still future is ahead of this country and we hope that this future will be democratic we hope that human rights. in their you know in their entirety will be ensured for both the libyans and for the citizens of other countries what's going on with th

in watching people come through a penal system, for instance, is there anything that happens in which you can see their thought changing, so that they actually begin to support the idea of building society rather than taking up a gun and doing the glamorous or the romantic thing in their minds? >> i think it begins and ends in education. that's the point. if we have failed to that point and brought it to that situation, when they are in facilities or in community treatment, there is need to try and find alternatives. even you know, in prison, in the juvenile prisons -- prison, only one in israel, you give them alternatives like even playing soccer or doing a lot of activities that will enable them first to be able to take all their aggression and frustration and then to give them some new skills and abilities. how to deal with tension. how to work, to channelize your anger to different way of, like art, like reading, like theater, everything that will be a replacement for that need to come -- sometimes you, they just want to be shown, to be influential. you can you can try to channeli

are paid a royalty and in some instances we are now.so again it has to be addressed

resources and for many years many instances of the twentieth century twenty first century people have been saying that one day there will be a crisis of production that the world will run out of resources when do you think this is been a very familiar question in fact in the eight hundred eighty s. both in the united states and in the russian empire people said in the eighty's that the era of oil is just about to come to an end and of course we're still here technology keeps opening doors and now natural gas resources are so much larger than they looked to be five or seven years ago and they're been mazie new natural gas discoveries off of east africa. so for all oil the questions are not only the resource center ground but what happens above ground what kind of decisions that governments make and obviously the big challenge is the emerging markets what you spoke about before is trying and meeting their demands so it's a challenge but it seems that the resources physical resources are there but at the same time we have to become more much more efficient in how we use our energy a much
