and i think we have treatments that can be used effectively, but they need to be applied for the longterm. there are no quick fixes for obesity. penny weismuller: i called and i spoke to linda on the phone and made an appointment, came in to talk to her. i was really interested in how well people could maintain a weight loss, because i didn't want to... i didn't want to lose weight and not keep it off. linda gigliotti: when a patient comes in, we will ask them, "well, what do you see your goal weight being? what goal do you have in mind?" because we need to know where that person is coming from. ralph cygan: many patients come to a weight loss program with extremely unrealistic ideas about what their goal weight should be. i think they're either motivated by what they see on fashion magazines, or perhaps think about the old height/weight tables they're used to seeing from insurance companies, and have really unrealistic goals. i was having pain in my heel, and i was feeling pretty desperate. i was thinking about having the weight loss surgery, but i was afraid of complications. so i thoug

as an agency, we have a responsibility to make a longterm investment in the viability of this system. that is why free transit, free public transit for all children is so critical. it is not only critical because of that new generation of writers, but because we need to make sure that we maintain environmental detectives. we have certain goals that we have to meet as a city and we will not meet those goals if a large segment of the youth of sentences go do not have access or are able to ride public transit to the level that we anticipate. we need to make sure that every child in san francisco rides public transit to meet those objectives. beyond that, we're making investment in the education system. when kids go to school, public school, the public school system does not ask how much their parents make. they go because we value the importance of public education. the same emphasis should be placed on public transportation. that is why we are here and it is why we are still import -- and it is why it is so important that we create public transit policy that respects low-income youth an

. >> reporter: if the pain is getting the best of you he said allergy shots can offer longterm relieftting a skin test to pinpoint it also helps. if it's not going to be painful the worst thing that you can expect is that it'll be itchy. >> reporter: you should also be mindful of what it bad. >> when it's really dry and windy if you want to jog outside for example try to avoid that in the middle of the day and at the end of the day -- after you spent time outside take a good shower and wash off the pollen. >> reporter: steps to cope when from is a lot of pollen in the air. >> did you have trouble talking on the cell phone? you may be able to blame it on the solar storm. it hit today and flares interact with the magnetic field. while there have not been reports of major problems experts say the storm isn't over and in the meantime the storm could produce very powerful, the northern lights, just showing them a couple months ago. >> yeah. we see -- interesting solar activity over the last year. interesting -- my wifi late last night i was having problems with it. i normally never do and

i saw -- i salute what the uk is orchestrating to try to get a more longterm solution, certainly the military could have a role supporting that. but i think the lead role has got to come up with some kind of political way ahead and the military would be in a supporting role and obviously, when it comes down to what's out at sea, by nato and other ships including ones from russia, china, korea, you know, there's a number of nations out there working together on this problem, so the military has a role in the policing of the waters, i think you need to set a political condition first and the local regional mill tars are the best to provide that solution in the near term. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> thank you for being with us. it's a real pleasure to see you again. a question on afghanistan. you haven't talked much about afghanistan. you talked about experience in 2001. can we fast forward, 11 years, and get from you your analysis of where we are now and where we're going and what do you expect when most of our troops will be out of the country in 2014 as planned. an

there is that risk and i think it increases this increasing effort still quite remarkable also more longterm yourself. in the mountains you know when you see the man on the east peace creating respect and that's a great notion i see yours and if they should include months or years. let me just ask you about iceland their former prime minister azhar trial now for his role in a financial crisis and you seeing anything like that happening in ireland where they get let's say sharpish patrick for man of irish if they get him on trial for financial terrorism do they see anything going down this path hopefully we will i mean i can guess that we need a man who need to learn a lesson from to some other people who have been involved basically i think bankrupting the country should face trial you know. you have the icelandic resting heart is a moment he's on trial you mentioned shot spotter i think there at the ace of spades so to speak it's working her who was there hope the minister of finance and he was. on c.n.n. he was the man who i would think those are people who accept this american soccer for

that's what the santorum campaign needs to prove, it is a longterm contender.omney want? to turn these two states. watch the spending. he wants to turn ohio and tennessee in his favor. if he does that, you see, the couple doesnzen more delegates. the tarts to get him on the way, not all the way on the way, but well ahead of the others. that's what he wants on super tuesday, to prove he's the front runner. santorum needs to keep them from going romney red. >> let's bring in our cnn contributors, james carvel, mary matalin, and eric erickson. james, to john king's question, can romney turn it around in ohio, in tennessee? >> you know, probably. this is not a race anymore, anderson, in my opinion, between romney and santorum and gingrich. this is romney versus 1,144. he's the only candidate in the race that has a chance to get to 1,144. every time these guys gets delegates, that means he's going to have to go to tampa and deal with a situation when he gets there. he's not running against anything other than a number right now. romney versus a number. thets how i f
