my girlfriend, kathy, is someone who's very supportive of everything i want to do.and she's been someone who's really pushing for. she was a big part -- i was a part of the cell polishing process, having someone to support you in terms of emotionally, keep you going, that's a very important thing. so between my writing screenplays and now doing a book and hopefully doing a lot of talking on talk shows about my book. i'm very passionate about this book. that's my life. and i love it. >> if so is interested in purchasing your book, work and if i? >> amazon.com. actually it's really well. the local bookstore here in l.a. that i love, diesel it's called a bookstore. is probably going to be in books to. does our local bookstores. nationally, i haven't been able to get in but i think that's going to change. i'm hoping. >> michael jason overstreet, "71 days: the media assault on obama," a self published book. . . to talk about andre schiffrin's new book

i also want to recognize my wife, kathy, througwho -- [applause] i am happy to stand here today.it has been a movement than a program. this is truly a milestone. for 40 years, this organization has successfully provided people of color with the education and the experience needed to manage and make change in the name of social justice and equity. in addition, it has been instrumental in addressing critical challenges faced by america. that is particularly as they relate to people of color and women, serving in positions of leadership in the public sector and in the non-profit sector. i would like to congratulate the members of that first class 40 years ago. we have any of those members here? stand. with your hands. [applause] i want to congratulate them for paving the way for people like me. i would also like to give special recognition to luis alvarelouiseuis alvarez. he has been invaluable. an abstention, i would like to give special recognition to frank lowe witlobe.

for example, kathy osborne with whom you have worked. >> tell me what i should know about this court that would make it a better experience. what would you tell them? >> you'd be surprised about the high level of collegiality here. i believe we divided 5-4 and almost 1/3 of all the cases. one might get a false impression of that degree of this agreement -- disagreement. justice scalia once commented in his early years on this score, there was no justice with whom he disagreed more often than justice rennan -- brennan. yet justice scalia consider justice brennan his best friend on the court at that time, and he thought the feeling was reciprocated. the public would not know that from reading an opinion of dissent by scalia or the other way around. these were two men that genuinely liked each other and enjoy each other's co. >> when your on the bench looking out at the court, what do you see that we do not see. >> i see the magnificent proportions of the court room. and sometimes, i say to myself -- it is one of the most beautiful court rooms i have ever been in. >> you talk about the

have you ever heard of this kathleen or kathy parker?obody ever heard of her before. >> host: she certainly became a media favorite. we all know how that works. you turn on your own and suddenly-- >> guest: yes or be a complete embarrassment like another example is that i brought up in the context of the total media of blackout on the john edwards having an affair on his cancer stricken wife. for months there i had to get my news from the national enquirer. >> host: at the same time the "new york times" was running a front-page story about a supposed if there mccain which apparently was totally bogus. >> guest: which they finally apologize for. i had to get my nose and that-- news from inquirer. fine soud it is true and all this time i have a memo from one of the editors at the "l.a. times" destructing his blogger apparently the blogger should not mention the john edwards story and "the washington post" and added to their said well he dropped out a month or two earlier. will be a star running for public office so i don't think we need wa

kathy on the democrats' line.ller: i'm disabled and i worked enough to draw the $20 more than someone who did not work at all during their life. my biggest thing is, i think tennessee was a jump off the state with reagan -- with bush, trying to start their own medicaid program. what ended up happening is everybody that did not have children or was not disabled got kicked off -- is what was called. i heard the other day that he got $7 million grant for housing but nobody knows where it went and a couple of days later i heard $17 million was allotted to help rebuild housing in -- i don't know if it was where a tsunami hit war in iran. our section 8 has 4000 people waiting on the waiting list of there is no money. the people on the waiting list has no money to get section 8 vouchers to find safe housing. host: kathy, thanks. i will pick up from there. for me, that question really is on priorities on government spending. people at home waiting for affordable housing as money is going overseas. guest: i am concerned ab

it was a very difficult day, but jesse alcozer, his wife judy, and kathy alcozer, the mother of christopher alcozer chip, who was killed defending our country is a real history. he was only 19. he played the viola and he was a wrestler. he combined a lot of skills in life. god did not give him a long life but he gave him a purposeful life. it is important that all this in the land of lincoln remember abraham lincoln's words at gettysburg, 272 words. it is important for all of us, the living, to honor those to give their last full measure of devotion to our democracy, to our government of the people, to our opportunity to be here to have a democracy and make laws and make people's lives better. so i'm very grateful to the alcozer family. all like to have them stand up and be recognized for all that they have done for our country. i want to point out that jesse alcozer is a vietnam veteran. we all know our country did not do vietnam veterans right when they came home, and jesse was listed once in missing action, wounded seven times during the vietnam war. thought to be dead. well he is defini

abuse, but for me, the most important study that disproves this actually was a study by john becky and kathy principalle at the usc school of social work that looked at actual police contact over a five-year period in los angeles, and what they actually found was that if you're diagnosed with schizophrenia in the united states, your chance of actually getting the crap beaten out of you by somebody else is about 65% to 135% greater than the general population. in other words, the stereotype is directly at odds with what's happening, and this probably makes sense, that if we think that people with schizophrenia are somehow withdrawn or deluded or talking to themselves in a way, so it wasn't that these people were running down the street with a sawed of off shotgun or a beg hammer ready to swing it. it was actually the opposite was the case, so the question is, first of all, what is going on here, and second of all, why is it that we can't just fix this problem? now, being, the things that i've just told you are things that are very well known in the psychiatric community and we've tried a seri

my colleagues, kirk emerson, patricia air, and kathy mcknight, some of whom are affiliated with conflict resolution out of tucson arizona just published a very interesting article in conflict resolution quarterly that you might want to take a look at. look at the two cases are both u.s. federal agencies and some state. to look at what makes ecr work. what are the factors that are important to get people over the finish line to an agreement? and patricia actually share this graphic with me so i can share with you here today. essentially, this was their framework. and what it boils down to is that to get to an agreement reached, having agreements that are high-quality and have been working relationships improve comedy intermediate variable is that engage. now the things that seem to be important in getting to that point, as well as having an indirect effect on the agreement by making sure that the appropriate parties are involved. so the speaks to make sure you have ever wondered to have a conversation even if it's not obvious who should be there. the skills and practices of meteors and fa

"i do not think the federal mortgage aid is getting to the people that needed." republican caller, texas. go ahead. caller: you should not be giving mortgages to people that did not afford them. my parents never got a house until they retired. if you do not have the money to buy a house, you cannot buy a house. host: it is not clear, this is according to the president of the information of innova
