we want a couple engineers, i'm an old medic, diana is really the logistics master and i figure if we're going to go someplace where thins might go awry, i wanted someone like that. so we put this together in 30 days, including a holiday. we were wheels up for van, we spent 10 days in country. and the story there is interesting, to say the least. a little bit of a cultural difference. you kind of have to wade through, and i'm sure i'm preaching to the choir in the military here, you have to separate out how things are versus what you're used to and what it really means because otherwise you can really get into apples and oranges. so the take away for me, and what should be rolling behind me, are just a series of photographs of van when we were there. and what i hope the story that they are telling is this example of what we saw. i mean, there's some classic examples if you look at the buildings, these were all new buildings, by the way, that were condemned. but as you look you'll see some buildings with big cracks in them to where they are x-like cracks. that's classic soft story constru

has lot to do with rivalry, policy, priorities, logistical difficulties. but overall it's national policy, very important. the time he of course doesn't work the chinese way because americans don't decide to go back to asia. >> how many chinese died during world war ii? >> the numbers vary. the most accepted number during the seven years, eight years of war, remember world war ii lasted a lot longer in china, was 15 million. >> 15 million? >> 50 million. >> that's on par or close to what the soviet union lost? >> soviet union lost more. anymore concentrated way because stalin -- german policy and eastern front, the other area. >> japan lost -- >> most of these 50 million casualties were civilians in china. so that's the accepted number. >> maochun yu, professor, what do you teach your at the naval academy speak with i teach mostly military history, world war ii, and modern china, east asia overall. we have every strict -- it's fascinating. i've been here 18 years. it's been a blast spent and here's the book, "oss in china: prelude to cold war." this is boo

it's called logistics expertise. and we recognized that and with the help of our fleet week association, with the help of our honorary chair, former secretary of state george scholtz, along with senator feinstein who started fleet week, we began to appreciate in addition to appreciating the men and women in uniform and the wonderful attributes of having fleet week and the blue angels and the parade of ships, we could also be working on something very important to this city. all across the world there are examples after example and i know the men and women and leadership of the uss macon know this after their tour of duty these past months, all over the world there are disasters and emergencies that we are responding to and that you have become the humanitarian assistance and the disaster relief that is absolutely needed. why not practice that here? and so two years ago we gathered with our own departments from the port of san francisco to our sheriff to our police and fire, led by our emergency management division, g

members have been transporting supplies and providing logistic support. >>> a truck rammed into a bus in pakistan on sunday. police suspect it was an act of sec say sectarian violence. the bus burst into flames, killing at least 19 people. 25 people were hurt and are being treated in the hospital. police say the truck was loaded with explosives. witnesses say its driver appeared to have targeted the bus. shiite muslims were headed to a pilgrimage. new york human base watch says attacks on minority shias are on the rise in pakistan. more than 300 shias have been killed in 2012. >>> venezuelan president chavez has suffered more complications from cancer surgery. the country's vice president suggested the situation does not allow for optimism. the announcement came ahead of a presidential inauguration ceremony for chavez's fourth term on january 10th. the vice president said the new complications follow a respiratory infection that surfaced after the surgery he had in december in cuba. mudora appeared on state-run tv with chavez's daughter and says his health continues to be delicate. th

can you just tell us logistically how it would work to do this? >> yes, madam chair. it's my advice that the committee directs me to competitively bid these services. i am happy to at the end of awarding that contract, be able to take some further time and investigate the actual details around the independence issue, the chain of command and who the budget analyst would report to, how our office would interact, how they would interact with the members of the board, where exactly they would be housed here at the board of supervisors. you could also direct me to investigate other jurisdictional cities. los angeles, san diego, new york to look at how they are provided budget analyst services. so, i think it's from the comfort of actually having a contract that you could then further direct me to provide that information to the committee. >> okay. and if we were to go forward with an rfp and eventually that rfp would have to come back for approval, could we have it be flexible such that if there was a decision by this body at a later time to actually do a contract, any ty

their flexibility and their capacity to remain in the affected areas for a long time without any logistical support so we can do a lot. that plan put the surface units in less than 24 hours. naval doctrine was highly effective. most of our ships -- the earthquake was at 3.34 and most of our ships get underway at about 4:00 or 4.10. one of them without a captain, he is not a captain any more, but all people get into the ship and ships get underway without any order. as you mention also here, joint medical command control center is absolutely essential. and hydrographic survey prior to entering ports in affected areas is something that is mandatory. and the joint government (inaudible) of this exercise will be highly valued. so that conclude my presentation and we always face the glass plenty of water, so we think these are challenges, someone put it in our face and we have to look at an opportunity to grow up and be a better country. thank you very much. (applause). >> thank you, admiral, that was fascinating. next to come up and speak will be rob dudgeon, the director of the emergency servi

>> i will tell you logistically speaking, logistically speaking, yes.ally speaking, very much unclear, there's a growing amount of pessimism about whether or not that can be done. we've been talking for days about how eyes are on the senate to see what harry reid cobbles together to try to get republican support in the senate and house. he's saying it's hard to see how this can get done by january 1st. so we're seeing a lot of managing of expectations and certainly a lot of posturing on both sides as it appears they're getting ready to play the blame game should we go over the cliff. listen to both sides. >> republicans are not about to write a blank check for anything senate democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff. >> we are here in washington working while the members of house of representatives are out watching movies, watching their kids play soccer and basketball and doing all kinds of things. they should be here. >> senate majority leader reid there also said that house speaker john boehner is just trying to s

i love logistics. five days later, i had a massive heart attack. the first thing the emts gave me. now, i'm on a bayer aspirin regimen. [ male announcer ] be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. [ woman ] learn from my story. >>> let's check on stories trending. pacu has lost to mar qwest. before the match, mitt romney, who was there, wished him luck. >>> johnny manziel has made history. he was named the 2012 heisman trophy winner yesterday. manziel is the first prefreshmao win the award. >>> the los angeles police department is apologizing for releasing the notorious b.i.g.'s autopsy without telling the late rapper's family first. the report revealed fresh details of his 1997 death. i'll be back in one hour. the game of political chicken over the fiscal cliff is still being played in washington. why congress emptied out this weekend with no deal in hand. plus, what are the most intriguing images of 2012? from the disturbing to the hilarious, we' look at the

what i defined yesterday was that logistics problems may get in the way and interfere with medical surge planning as is outlined. putting resources where they are needed in a huge disaster may outstrip the ability of local authorities to do that because roads are out. the niche we have as the marine corps assets we have the ability to locate some of our resources like shock trauma platoons, that's what we do in combat and we have experience with that and that may be something that may be of benefit to this process. >> during the last panel, mr. cahen mentioned it's so important to understand the resources that his agency has versus the ones that the military has and he said at one point they started looking down in terms of typing, i have this, you have this, how are we going to respond and get the resources we need to deal with the incident. i'd like to hear from all of you what did you learn about what the other agencies' capabilities are and how did that open your eyes? >> yesterday we had a great opportunity to look at a variety of resources. in the midst of all the demonstrations th

vehicle and car to go suits that need for them as well what about on the backend i mean just the logistics of getting the cars where they're in demand that maybe they aren't or are managing the insurance and the fueling and keeping them clean and all of that while we do have a service third party service team that we use in the different cities that we have in north america you would be surprised as far as having to actually touch the cars we don't have to relocate a lot of cars simply because there's a natural gravity of these vehicles we see vehicles going from the outlying residential areas in the city in the morning moving downtown to the financial or shopping and restaurant districts and then in the night they go back to where our members live again back in the residential areas so there's really a nice gravity of how the vehicles flow through the city during the course of the day now if we do run into a case where a vehicle may be sitting for twenty four hours our service team it gives them an opportunity number one to make sure it's clean like you mentioned fueled and then put into

it's interesting it is international i can see where the opportunity would arise let's talk about logistics because one of the first things that we were you know wondering was about how that kind of is managed how do you manage these cars and the fuel and how to get the cars where they're in demand kind of some of these unique aspects of it and then is there any proprietary or special software that you use in order to manage some of these things you know absolutely our technology we consider it is car sharing two point zero because our technology allows a truly on demand experience for our members they can simply locate a vehicle on their smartphone walk up to it and use their membership card to unlock the doors and as you mentioned in the previous piece put in your pin code answer a couple questions and you're free to drive and you're not you're not locked into a period of time that you need to return the car nor do you have to lock into it tell us where you're going to return it to so our technology really gives our members that flexibility. that they would otherwise only have with their

i love logistics. >>> mitt romney and paul ryan just aren't up to the task. they're beholden to the "my way or the highway" bullies, indebted to billionaires who bankroll their ads, and allergic to the very idea of compromise. >> former governor charlie crist with tough talk at the dnc about mitt romney and paul ryan. he was a republican leader. over the weekend, he switched party becoming a democrat. charlie crist joins me now. welcome to you. >> good to be with you. thank you for having me. >> you were a republican. you morphed into an independent. now you're officially a democrat. tell me about your journey and why you have ended up in president obama's camp? >> as i said at the convention, i didn't leave the republican party. the republican party left me. what i mean by that is issue after issue, they seem to get more strident and more difficult, if you will, less tolerant, less welcoming, whether it was immigration or education or voter suppression that we saw recently. each and every one of these issues really was counter to my values, that my mother an
