i have tenure so let me be blunt. we are speaking about building a system which we call mass incarceration. we have many of people who don't need to be locked up and that is to provide public safety. that's one of the reasons i see bail as so critical. it's not a sexy topic. it's one of the reasons it's languaged for decades. it's really the beginning that leads to incarceration and i would suggest to you that what happens beginning with the failure of the bail reform effort of 60s to achieve a constitutional right to bail. i would like to come back to that because if the constitutional rights can find to incarcerate, they can talk about bail. i think what is so dangerous about that moment and it came to a surface in the bail reform act of 1984, the federal law, the birth of preventative detention which one thought was clearly unconstitutional and then became a public good that changed the whole view of a system. now we live in a justice preemptive justice, but they will commit other crimes in the future. i would say

. >> let me ask mr. looeng, perhaps you can tell the audience about the organization you lead and your experience with risk in needs assessment tools or the kind of evidence based factors that mr. gas skon is referencing. sn >> thank you, jeff, the project has in existence since 1976 and it's a non-profit organization. when we first came across this was a heavily needs base. we provide treatment and with the idea that you are going to impact the failure to appear or appearing in court and obviously recidivism. that's now jumping forward 30 or 20 years. in the last five years particularly you have heard these words in fact chief still spoke about it, evidence base. in the last decade the single biggest change in our social services has been the use now of technology and i see it sort of akin to and i read an article recently. what you are trying to do now is obviously face risk decisions now on much more empirically based situation. now the pretrial diversion project and pretrial release is really the hum

professor simon, let me ask a follow-up. i want to get an idea of what a system you are advocating would look like. let's say you have arraignment for somebody in a case alleging violence. maybe an armed robbery or sexual assault of some kind. are you comfortable with someone having a right to be released on their own recognizant under the theory that the police should do their work and make sure that person doesn't commit other offenses? and that it's not legitimate to make that consideration at the time of a bail assessment? >> i think that is my view, i think through slow steps we accumulated a system that has a ton of minor offenders and not able to accused in that way. and the right of the constitution and the rights we have made up for the mistakes made. we have to toss out the low-level crimes not just in the city but many parts of the state. and with that bandwidth of focus, we focus on the areas and a activity and crime and less on locking people up. in either case we are punishing the people ahead of their trial. af

>> let me explain it to you. excuse me, baby. >> curtis. >> how soon we forget. , room and board is at least 25 grand, okay? and let's not forget about the little motorcycle incident, huh? thought i forgot? no, i didn't, and -- and -- and what about the money i loaned you? you don't remember that, do you? that retirement money that we never addressed it again. i got that -- >> curtis. >> then there's the clothes that you're wearing. and then there's just 'cause she -- her -- so, actually, my god... you owe me more money. >> what are -- what are -- what are you gonna do? do you have it? >> curtis, this money does not belong to us. obviously, somebody has lost it. >> well, c.j. found it, and finders keepers. that's what the bible says in "deuturomony." >> oh, please. >> good afternoon, family. whose money is that? >> dad found it in his truck. >> whoo! we rich! >> calvin! >> we rich, we rich, whoo! >> calvin, calvin! >> we rich -- >> sit down. >> c.j., c.j., my favorite cousin, let me talk to you. man, i know a guy that can launder this for you. >> calvin, i didn't

i have tenure so let me be blunt. we are speaking about building a system which we call mass incarceration. we have many of people who don't need to be locked up and that is to provide public safety. that's one of the reasons i see bail as so critical. it's not a sexy topic. it's one of the reasons it's languaged for decades. it's really the beginning that leads to incarceration and i would suggest to you that what pp

let me first ask you when did you hear what happened and where? >> shortly after i got off work -- i can't say shortly. i took me a nap, went home, went out with friends, got a phone call from my sister-in-law telling me that immediately needed to check my facebook. she said that brandon, i'll call him michael, was responsible for the school shooting. >> were you surprised? >> i was a little bit, but over the years of growing up with him it almost seemed like eventually he would do something like this, but not to this magnitude. >> you called him brandon, not michael, right? >> yes, sir. >> so let's call him brandon. you grew up together, you're two years older than him. both your parents sadly died. what was he like as a kid, and when did things go wrong for him? >> he was like any other kid. we went out, played outside, played in woods, just did kidly things like everybody, and once he started hitting his teenage years, it -- something happened with him. it -- everything just started changing after doctors started messing with his medicines here

let me ask you quae. if there are peace loving muslims, why are we waiting until the anniversary of 9/11 to march to protect the muslims? why weren't they out there when major -- let me finish. let me finish. >> that -- no. that was the very first day that muslims been villainized and victimized. do you understand that we have nothing to do with those 19 people? >> what do you want to say? >> thank you very much. i truly apologize for interrupting but this has been since the conception of the idea of the march on 9/11 in washington, d.c. it has been a progress. it did start out and still is a part of the fact that there is an agenda to make the word terrorists synonymous with only muslim. >> are you kidding? >> i'm going to stop you right there. i'll tell you why. i'll tell you why. no, no, no. >> we're not going to do this. >> he's committed a terrorist activity. >> let me ask you this question. >> all right. >> the president has basically taken certain words out of our lexicon. terrorism, it is now work

jump in let me just busy let me just say and read go ahead. amir i mean look conceptually is doing your search down the road this might work you're in a financial crisis right now over and over and around every place in the world japan in europe and so on and right now people are looking at bringing on a new currency or a new way of transacting you know trade now are looking to make sure that there is security so the complete you know because you don't have the complete isn't going to help it but isn't this the whole point of the currency of this new currency security. well you know but but then again i mean you tell me anything that secure you talk about you know earlier me or talk about wikipedia i mean there are hackers there are things you know we had a situation i guess about a year or two ago about you know someone hack even knowing this was just not secure . it's a good concept but it's just not going to happen right now ok dan you look at its hand now and it's working well even if you are you know you well know about danielle go ahead

i'm from los angeles county and let me tell you bail schedules are very high out there. but we work with the families, co-workers, and employers that want that person out of jail where they can continue to flourish in their society. the issue of -- well the pretrial is there is a misconception about which is fair and which isn't fair. i have to say for the sake of public safety, we offer a little bit of the bjs study that our statistics is true because we incorporate other people with a part of the skim in the game, if you will, the family and members and we do a better job of seeing people return to court. we don't judge, we just return them to court and make their appearances. >> there are a lot of organizations throughout the state that, you know, kind of pull their resources together to be able to engaged in some lobbying, i think it true for some associations and there is some lobbying for the california's association. do you know how much your organization spends on lobbying? >> we don't even have a paid lobbyist. but the sure ityty company there is a guess. i have

ethan, let me ask you this. you know, in california, there are a number of offenses, drug possession offenses, that are punished already as misdemeanors. i think met amphetamine, p.c.p., i think valium, certain steroids, and yet we treat as felonies, the possession of cocaine and heroin as felonies. did you see this kind of discrepancy in the other states that your organization has worked to -- >> matt, if i could, i think the perspective i could offer would be more useful in that is really putting what the u.s. is doing, california is doing in a more global perspective. because what one sees around the world is a growing number of countries that are choosing to decriminalize the possession of all drugs, when the proposals now are merging -- new jersey did this a few years ago in a small way, colombia, argentina, ecuador, guatemala, some with right wing governments, very tough on crime, and in europe, similarly. it's not generally the standards to be putting people behind bars for a possession of any drug in sma

let me start tonight with this. i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this. colin powell, perhaps the most respected republicans in country, says his party is sending a message to african-americans by pushing measures making it harder to vote, it's saying that it -- the it wants to punish -- this puts colin powell, the hero of the gulf war in a battle with rnc chair reince priebus, who has presided over the multistate effort to close down voting days and set higher requirements for voting in this country. who are you going to call? the general who wants americans -- all americans to vote and participate in this country's government? or the party chair who supports bills for making it harder for minorities to young people to vole? who are you going to call? colin powell or reince priebus, the field marshal of the rnc. who vastly reduced the number of black voters. james peterson is a director at lehigh, an engineer, and clarence page, a columnist for "the chicago tribune." let's start with colin powell, and what he said in his own words. he was speaking in ral

let me make it even tougher. very often, even in the event of the low probability-high impact attack, the cost to the industry is infinitely less than the cost of the surrounding society. i live in northern virginia. two summers ago, the violent storm derecho came through and cost dominion power a lot. what it cost a dominion power nowhere came close to what it cause northern virginia. in addition to the low probability, you've also got the fact that your cost may be more confined than the cost to the overall society. all true. therefore, what you need to do number one, it is really hard to build a business case for this. it really is. and so, it is more of a broader responsibility case that has to be made in terms of good corporate citizenship in addition to the narrow business case. one experimental idea, tom -- and it is not quite tied to what you're suggesting -- is the whole concept of cyber insurance. which then spreads of both the costs of defense and the cost of catastrophe over a wider audience. i don't

let me give you some spaghetti. doug, please, would you just leave me alone? you know what? if you're going on a diet, then i'm going on a diet. hey! stop with the diet talk! it's crazy! actually, you could lose a few pounds. you know what? i intend to, ok? i'll tell you that right now. i'm gonna fix myself a nice plate right here. a good hunk of haddock... some veggies... and i am golden. honey, was that enough for you? oh, yeah, plenty. i couldn't eat another drop. ah, sweet broccoli. honey, i gotta tell you, i am loving this celery. and unlike a chili dog, no mess in the bed. flannels? what happened to that little cute number you were wearing last night? what are those on your p.j.s? ducks. you know, i've always been a little attracted to ducks. webbed feet... feathers... flying in a "v." what-what's the matter? oh, i guess i'm a little tired from being so fat. come on, carrie, i should have never brought this up. that stupid picture. what picture? when your dad was showing me the albums, there was this picture of your mother, and i-- oh, i get it. so because my mom gaine

let me just say that the j.i.c.ument that you refer to, which has been published just in the last hour or saw actually falls far short of providing that conclusive evidence. it's very much a white haul civil servant document, heavily edited. british politics lives under the shot dough of the faulty dose yea, the sexed up dose yea as it was called at the time of intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in iraq, so there's a sort of allergy amongst british officials about producing convincing intelligence in a way that sort of pushes the drive towards. that's why i think the u.n. inspectors material they gather remains the right way to go on this. >> do you think that david cameron is just hungry for war right now? >> i this i that would be a very unfair characterization of it, but i do think that he's gotten ahead of himself. he's sort of in a sort of sporting analogy we like to use, falling over his ski tips a bit. he's rushed back from holiday, demanded quick action and frankly to try to, there's a suggestion

>> let me reframe it. what do you do about, if i asked you if you were mentally ill and you say no and that actually becomes a way of diagnosing you as mentally ill, doesn't that present a lot of problems? people, and that actually is one of the things that i think is most concerning. now, obviously there are people who are very ill and there is a lot of debate about the terms that we use for psychiatric illness. now, if you tell me, edward, you have this diagnosis and if you don't believe you have that diagnose, it's reinforcing my belief that you have this diagnosis. that's problematic. but and you can see that really the issue, i think there is a reason this is interesting because it treks back to the real issue of mental health which is what was the responsibility of society to provide services and supports for psychiatric illness. we want to ask that question, with should ask what was the rate at which we fund services and supports for mental illness, what was the range of services we provide. the que

let me conclude where i began. this question before us is how to respond to one of the worst uses of chemical weapons in 100 years. we must do the right thing in the right way. it must be sure to learn the lessons of previous conflicts. we must pursue every avenue at the united nations, every diplomatic channel. we must recognize the skepticism and concern that many in the country will have after iraq, explaining carefully all of the ways this situation and the actions we take are so different. we must ensure that any action, if it is to be taken, is proportional and specifically designed to deter the use of chemical weapons. we must ensure that any action is accompanied by a renewed effort to forge a political solution and relief humanitarian suffering in syria. at the same time, we must not let the specter of previous mistakes paralyzed our ability to stand up for what is right. there will be no action without a further vote in this house of commons. on this issue, britain should not stand aside. we must play our

let me simplify them. one is instead of building your own data center which companies would do 10 years ago and build your own computer room at generators and air conditioning, you use an outsourced professional data center. that is one move to the court, which is one move to the crowd. the second model, which you have actually used to set up a mass of private club, where you can now provision servers on demand for your constituents within the city. in the context of a government with the compliance issues and security issues and mission critical services which you overlay, that is quite an achievement. so that is the second model which you have embarked on. the third model is clearly the public crown. he made a decision to move some of your data to a public cloud -- e-mail. if you talk about the decision process which led to selecting each of them, your concerns, your challenges, and the economics behind each of those models, i think it would be very beneficial. >> a cake, well, our decision to lege

let me walk you through. i have mayonnaise sandwiches, tomato sandwiches, onion sandwiches, butter sandwiches, pickle sandwiches. the number one meal at home, i recall, was chicken gumbo. now, i was born and raised with jesse duplant, his father was my sunday school teacher and his mother's brother and his father used to spend nights at our house. we all grew up together. we're still in a state of shock that jesse is born again. but he valley. he's actually -- jesse's saved. he's saved. but the number one meal, and you may not know what gumbo is, but gumbo's like a stew, you know, and you have okra, shrimp f you're wealthy you have some shrimp. and if not, you have one shrimp. chicken gumbo. that's the one meal i remember, chicken gumbo, chicken gumbo with chicken necks. not legs. not breasts. necks. my mother heard me say this one night and she said, baby, baby, we had wings sometimes. i don't remember the wings. i remember the chicken necks because i remember sucking a chicken neck thinking, we should have

let me jump in.'t that also, true, though of so many other thing sns isn't it true of alcohol, tobacco, vicodin, everything else is that you will have a percentage of people -- >> question -- >> but here is the point sanjay -- >> it's not to legalize it -- >> right -- >> we're doing the same thing. we're giving more people an opportunity to get loaded. why do we want to support that? >> okay. last word to you, sanjay. >> i'm not sure i follow the doctor's arguments here. it's a medicine not given a fair shake for 70 years in this country. it can treat things that other medicines that exist far more dangerous and lead to for more deaths cannot treat. it's bizarre and inhumane to the patients who can't get this treatment. i met patients in colorado who can get treatment but never leave their state. it's ridiculous. the doctor, i think, maybe he would agree with me, maybe he won't, i'm not sure his position but it's irresponsible for the medical community not to have this as an option. i have children.

let me show you. a baseball pitcher at the top of the tower throws a rock, throws a rock straight out. and it turns out the tower is five meters tall. and it turns out the rock thrown as fast as the baseball pitcher can throw it goes 25 meters downrange. your question is this, and ually i would gi you a weekend to think about it. what is the speed of the ball to do such a thing? think. hint, we're throwing it sideways now. hint, the speed of anything is the distance it goes divided by the time it takes. without yelling out the answer, is there anyone that has an answer? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, let's get two more, 9, 10. 10 people have an answer, 40 people have no answer, not yet. let's let the equation guide our thinking, gang. how fast is distance over time? the pitcher is throwing the ball horizontally. are we given the horizontal distance that the ball goes? yes, we are. and that distance is what? twenty five meters. are we given the time that the ball is in the air? no. therefore, the problem can'

let me bring you n keith.bborn gates that were pushed open and those who have to take the lap and gave their lives. you've investigated a lot of these civil rights cases, people who worked for this moment. >> yeah, i have to say that is very important to understand those who sacrifice their lives to give us free liberties today. i'm very happy to hear that our former presidents as well as congressman lewis has tapped in on that. it's an important element that we must not forget. >> were it not for those people who gave up their lives, took the bus, walked to get there 50 years ago, we may not have had the courage to do so. >> exactly. one thing about the significance of this day, august 28th is also the 58th anniversary to the murder of emmett lewis till, who sparked the black resistance in the south. the date itself, a historical fact for you, was chosen by a. phillip randolph to commemorate the murder of emmett till and usher in the new movement they would hope to come. that's what we're seeing today. >> we'

let me take a wider view. >> people can use social media. tell us what you are seeing. >> i am on facebook. if you have something you want to tell me, posted on my facebook page. that is a great idea. we wait for these reports to come in. we have the social media network that we can use. just let me know. here is the wider view. the storm is pulling into cecil county. i am seeing some positive signs. let me send it over to the news desk. >> you are very busy. maybe they can send it into the newsroom. >> take a smart phone with you down in the basement. >we have a live picture from the conowingo dam. and murky.soupy not good. do not go outside. >> is that rain? >> here's the advice. head for the lowest level of your building. the interior rooms are also a good option. stay away from the windows. cover your head and wait for the storm to pass. just keepin your car, going or try to go in the opposite direction of the storm. do not get out of your car. >> just stay in your car. do not get out of your car. there is some debate. we have heard to g

let me just tell you. mind, same thing, but you can get stuck in that and not allow yourself to move forward and see how big you've come. >> the film so big lee daniels even courted president obama for a cam yo. >> no, he couldn't get obama and that's why obama is our president because he knows not to go and get himself in a movie and be on fox news every day afterward, yes. obama's very smart. >> here with reaction from the teaparty.net. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having un, sean. >> let's first remind everybody. we're going to start with you. trayvon martin's parents, attorney, daryl parks, the family attorney, says this is not racial and many of the jurors said that. they didn't think it was racial. all the evidence presented. the 14-year-old em its he saying something to the white woman. the husband, the brother make him carry a 75 pound gin fan to the tall ha chi river, they force him to take off his clothes, gouched out his eye, shot off his head, threw his body tied to this gin fan with

well let me hit back a little bit at that i think we have to draw a distinction between real environmental problems such as deforestation pollution etc and the bogus but profitable ones like imagining that adding carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere it came from originally is somehow going to do harm because actually it isn't going to do harm and even if it were going to do as much harm as the let's call them the climate extremists say that it will then it would still be between ten and one hundred times cheaper to let the warming happen and pay the cost of adapting to it even if the cost of adapting to it is as great as they say and even if the warming is going to be as great as they say it's an open question of whether adding c o two emissions will a fact of the planet in the long run but what is clear is that it is affecting people who are living. you know in those cities now and if you take china for example where the incidence of respiratory illnesses is pretty high where many people in china say value air pollution is the number one concern of their is so it doesn't matter of whethe

let me turn to the conditions in our motion. rst, and this is where the prime minister and i now agree. we must let the u.n. inspectors do the work and let them report to the security council. the u.s. secretary general said yesterday, and i quote, let them conclude the work in four days and analyze scientifically with expes and have to report the security counsel for action. so the weapons inspectors are in the midst of the work and will be reporting in the coming days. today will not be the day when the house is asked to decide the military a. for this house, for this house, for this house it is surely a basic point. evidence should proceed decision, not decision proceed evidenc u i'm glad the reflection the prime minister accepted it yesterday. now it is true, because some people raised the isue, the weapons inspectors cannot reach a judgment on the a at -- they cob collude the chemical weapons are used in the eye of this country and the world it con fevers legitimacy on the finding beyond the view o my country or itelligence
