boat and risk the ones finally when they got on the life boat. once we are in there, in the life boat, that was the most scary part of all the tragedy for us. when the life boat was still stuck and followed by the banging noise of the hammer equipment that they were trying to use to break off the ropes and once the ropes broke off, ripping noise came like something had ripped from the boat and now we landed right into the water from the fourth floor. we thought that now that he we are on the water, at the point, we will be able to at least get out if we have to because now we can see rock nearby. once we were on the water, it was not immediate, the boat started to move because of the over weight of the boat, we started seeing the blue smoke coming out of the boat and it was not moving at all. it was making a, almost like a circle as there was a current nearby that was caused by the ship,boat is not moving at all. now we see a building leaning on top of the boat. that the point i ask my wife who does not know how to swim. we have a life jacket i'm

because there is life after treatment, and a good life.o it's time for those that have a problem really to get into recovery. and ladies and gentlemen, i would like all of you to join with all of us. we are one in recovery. faces, voices, all of recovery. let's get a great big picture, and i want you to go back. i want you to talk to two people in recovery, and i want you to bring them with you next year. one more time, say it loud, say it proud, "i am in recovery! i am in recovery!" come on up, everybody. let's get a great big picture taken. (crowd: recovery rocks!) (music) the stories of recovery are the stories of individuals who have improved their own health and well-being, live self-directed lives, and are achieving their full potential. we see these stories at recovery month events but, more importantly, we see them day-in and day-out in people all around us who are leading a life in long-term recovery. the recovery movement is a wonderful example of the greatness of america, where diverse people come together and walk a pathway to

therefore it would be an improved life, really. imperfections in this life would be healed in the afterlife. (narrator) the excavation of the tombs in the valley of the kings by archaeologists beginning in the early 19th nt provided the cleart idea of the new kingdom's addion to the funerarliterature-- a text called the amduat detailing the pharaoh's long nighttime journey into oneness with the sun god re. the amduat-- literally translated it means "that which is in the netherworld"-- is a guidebook to the afterlife. and a secret text primarily reserved for the use of pharaohs. it was reproduced in full on the walls of the tomb of thutmose the third, who died in 1425 bc. the black script written against a lighter background suggests a giant papyrus wrapped around the burial chamber walls. it tells the story of a journey through uncertainty where time and space merge. (dr. betsy bryan) for the egyptians, the notion of trying to turn time, that is, twelve hours of night into space is very complicated, both for them and for us, withou

should not be asked to change between life -- choose between life and death. we are the voters to have to take responsibility and take this power away from them. >> are you aware of any other city other than san francisco, where an elected district attorney has announced that they will have a policy of not using the death penalty in a state where this is the law? >> i am not aware of any district attorney who has this explicit policy but we have had conversations with many different attorneys with problems with the death penalty, and we have seen in changing what they do, scaling back dramatically the number of death penalty prosecutions in california county and in other states. and they have quietly abandoned the death penalty even though they have not explicitly said that this is what they are doing. >> do you feel that -- the district attorney that we have, gason, -- gaston, fits into this category? >> i will have to see what happens. >> i will go to john thompson. we were talking about how often, you have public opinion polls on the death penalty but the l

i think to get so many new things- because there is life after treatment, and a good life. so it's time for those that have a problem really to get into recovery. (music) and ladies and gentlemen, i would like all of youu the stories of recovery are the stories of individuals improving their own health and well-being, living self-directed lives, and achieving their full potential. these stories are seen at recovery month events, but, more importantly, they're seen day-in and day-out in people leading a life in long-term recovery. the recovery movement is a wonderful example of the greatness of america, where diverse people come together and walk a pathway to healing. lives are saved and forever changed. among the estimated 20 million people in long-term recovery, we see health and prosperity, people working, raising families, paying taxes, voting, and volunteering in their communities. people in recovery have reclaimed their lives and are now giving back. while we can all take pride in the successes of the 2011 recovery month events, we must now turn our attention to making

the business of night life is hard and everyone knows it. my part in that, the entertainment commission's part in that, makes it easier at times, but we feel important about that. i want to say that besides thinking supervisor wiener and, of course, the controller, i want to thank the industry itself. they have worked really hard, as they know, to professionalize themselves, to minimize the incidents that have occurred, making my job easier. i hope that they continue to do that in specialized every part of their business, to keep up that good work. we wanted to definitely highlight the mayor's commitment to a position, essentially, in the office of economic development, to work with the industry and our commission to figure out how we can best support it. government in the past has been an impediment. again, i am part of government. i want to move us all into the position of being a partner with this industry, and i think that the government will definitely benefit from that. we are aware that the mayor's office, and the board as

specifically to measure the economic impact of my life in san francisco. a frequent topic of discussion frequently, we focus on the negatives and we give very focused on that. we are focusing on these sporadic,-events. we have not put together the positive economic solutions. the cultural importance of lite light in terms of defining the community and attracting the people of all ages to this city, having diversity in the city, in the lgbt community, the importance of my life to building community when people come out of the closet and thereafter. i requested that the city economist conducted this study and they will be presenting this study shortly. this study required a lot of thinking outside the box and a lot of hard work. i want to thank mr. eagan for his very strong work around this study. in the future, it is my view that this study will provide us and others with a quick, actual data with which to make policy decisions. sometimes with nightlife entertainment, we make decisions based on assumptions and stereotypes without always looking at the actua

and the life that i live now, for the rest of my life, is quite out of the ordinary. how many guys do you know that have anatomy that looks and functions like a female? >> but joseph is not alone. there are other transgender men and women who have had this serious change of heart. that said, that doesn't mean joseph regrets the decision he made more than 20 years ago to become a woman. >> regret? regret's a big word to me. that i try to work around and sidestep. i would like to think this, as a person who's gone through a revolution. you know, they've evolved. inside as a person, i've grown, and i just -- i simply grew out of the feelings i had that made me want to live as a female. >> in joseph's case, the murkiness of his gender identity may be understandable. that's because, when he was born, it wasn't exactly clear to the doctor who delivered him. >> when i exited the womb, they didn't know whether to say congratulations, it's a boy or congratulations, it's a girl because of my genitalia appeared ambiguous. >> roughly 1 in every 2,000 babies are born with noticeab

part of my life. members of my family are still part of my life. i was concerned at how it would reflect upon them and how they would it take it. just trying to navigate those waters while being respectful and honorable and to honor their journey. >> you are born in virginia? >> in georgia. >> your father is african- american and mother is korean. what has that impacted on your life? adding those two background? >> growing up at times it was difficult. i grew up in an all black neighborhoods. just in general with kids, you do not want to stick out in the difference. particularly the growing up in the south in a newly desegregated south, busing had just started when i was in elementary school. virginia was one of the last states on that track. on that track. there was a challenge there of always having to prove that i was as black, whatever that means, as the rest of my peers. later on i began to see my definition of blackness was quite skewed. if you were tough and could kick butt, then you were respected. that was a part of the running definition

i was sentenced to 30 years to life plus life and spent the next 20 years in pris. not until a woman, an attorney named ellen eggers got involved were they able to prove my innocence. the witnesses who 20 years prior testified against me all recanted, so here i am today. i've been home for one single l year. to the month. i've been home for a year. my story is not basically my story. it's the story of many people. many young men who i left behind in prison. many adults who have the inner child still damaged and hurting and maybe can never take that back. can never relive that. but there are grown adults now who suffer from a terrible upbringing. since my release, i have jumped right in. i made myself a promise that if and when i ever get out, i would lend my voice and time and dedicate myself to ibs that were close to my heart as is the youth promise act. to my true blessing was i came across professor scott wood and seth winer from the law school center for justice and these men embrace embraced me and i em based them and our mission to restore a number of issues,

i mean, how does -- what relationship do you think her sex life had on her professional life? >> i think a lot. in a sense it validates it. and remember, sanger is the -- kinsey, who is it that writes about sex? and johnson. >> she is that for her generation. >> and she must have had a good former birth control because with all these escapades' what was her form of birth control which she never endorsed any one of format the time. >> her -- we think that she used the diaphragm, and there's some students of margaret sanger who argue that she stuck to that too long, that she should have moved away. the problem with the diaphragm is all of the women and the men as well in 2011 is that someone has to measure you and you can't go off to india or china and say here is the diaphragm, use this. it's something that needs a physician. the criticism sanger has always been that she medicalize birth control. and so i would now like to turn the table and ask you, cristina, if you think that the fact that the birth control movement as it emerged from margaret sanger's work and as it included

it's not the life i was living in hollywood. having a debate about financing and iraq and all the stuff happened, and there was a pause for one second, and i said julia roberts got married today, you know, and half the people at the table didn't know who julia roberts was. but that was really my -- i had just come from l.a., and this was a hot topic. shock. >> yeah. >> now, of course, you live in new york. george stephanopoulos, the cohost of "good morning america." and you relocated him. has being around him increased your interest in politics, or do you still kind of shy away from politics in >> well, i would say what's happening in our country interests me in politics. you know, he doesn't -- we don't talk a lot about politics. that's not our pillow talk politics. and certainly he's been talking about it all day. he doesn't want to talk about it with me. we talk about all the marriage transactions like did you pay the plumber? are you going to pick her up at the sleepover? you know, that's sort of what we talk about. >> two h
