>> what a pleasure it is to be aboard this symbol of america's millery power, the uss macon island. what a pleasure it is to be among the men and women of our armed forces and the men and women of the first responders of the san francisco bay area. fleet week for many years in san francisco was a somewhat [inaudible] affair and it has been transformed into this great coming together by the military and the first responders, the great coming together of our uniformed personnel and a great [speaker not understood] of san francisco. this amazing transformation in the last few years was due primarily to the vision and the dedication of three people, george and charlotte schultz and mike myers. i'd like to pause to thank all three of them for this work. (applause) >> and in april of 1996, my last year as secretary of defense, i met one morning intelligence briefing at 7 o'clock along with general charlie. the previous day general hughes had briefed us that the chinese military were to begin extensive military maneuvers in the taiwan strait. this morning we were stunned to learn that they

. * macon. the smaller cities are taking advantage of easily reusable solution thextion, right, so open source technologies that make it easy for them to make a data catalog, and they're bag borrowing and stealing whatever they can from the bigger cities. whenever we get the chief data job description up, we should put that online and the city can take that. you can see cities sharing resources so that way even if they don't have the resources themselves, they can work together and pool those resources. >> maybe just to add one more thing to that, when we passed our legislation in 2009, we actually documented and shared our best practices for how we laid forth this program for other cities to use as well. >> great. so, i think we've actually already gone significantly over what i was hoping. i was hoping to [speaker not understood] also. we're going to wrap it up. thanks to all our panelists and the hatchery for hosting us. anything else you need to say before we wrap up? okay, wrap up.

you are sitting on this amazing lhd, the uss macon island, it can bring the heat or it can bring the light. do you want to get a little twitchy around the world and you want to sort of rattle the cage a little bit and test our will and show bravado? you don't want an amphibious group showing up off your shore. that can be a bad day for you. on the other hand, we'd like to bring the light. we'd like to bring the medical prowess, its ability to generate electricity for you, we'd like to bring its cadre of people to rebuild your churches, your clinics, your homes, we'd like to be able to bring its operating rooms and 40,000 tons of icu's and hospital beds and transports and medical evac, whether we fly you in or float you in. that's what we'd like to bring. and like everybody else in the medical business, i wake up every morning and hope the next day i'm out of a job. i hope the next day that world peace has been declared and disease has been stamped out and nobody will be ill, nobody will be harmed or injured. until that day comes, it's my responsibility to be able to speak to the comm

san francisco and it's an honor to be participating in this important panel discussion on the uss macon island. over the course of the next 50 minutes, we will be going to focus one of our -- we're going to be focused on one of the most important elements of our city and that's the resill yepbs of our life line. i am joined by a prestigious panel of experts who i believe have a keen insight sbat resill yepbs of the capacities we will be relying on heavily in moving forward post a disaster. here with me today is kirk johnson, to my left, vice president of gas transmissions from pacific gas and electric. next to him is don boland, executive director of california utilities emergency association. next to him is david brig, regional and local water system manager for the san francisco public utilities commission and finally but not least, romel an jell lus, manager for san francisco wireless. i have drafted several questions for our panel to answer and will hopefully have time at the end to take questions from the audience. before we start our panel discussion, i wanted it share with you wh

in 2010 we were aboard the macon island, one of the things i was fascinated with as were the attendees was the hospital space. there were a bunch of tours that took place there. last year the idea, it wasn't my idea and i wish i could claim it but i can't, the idea to do a medical peer to peer exchange between the military and the hospital providers here in town. so it was arranged where practitioners and executives, so practitioners and their bosses, to could come out and see the shock trauma platoon and see the capabilities of the shark and see what the military brings to the table in terms of medical. it was a huge hit, to be perfectly honest. it was well received. the medical community here in town was very impressed, really wanted to see more of it, and this year we grew that a little bit. it took flight, literally. it started with looking at rather than be a show and tell, like most things with fleet week, it started with, let's make it more than an air show. then it led to let's get on the ground and do hands on with our middle managers. the same thing is happening in the medica

joining us from washington tim graham from the media research center and macon, georgia, red state.com blowing. both are cerves. i think it's a desperate attempt by matthews to get attention. it's working because we are talking about it it's interesting because i don't think most viewers know how desperate the ratings are both on radio and television for liberals. what you have seen? >> bill, you know, it's very much like people remember in the iraq war, baghdad bob as the americans were closing in, got more and more shill and desperate. this is what is happening to liberal talk radio and msnbc. as the ratings go down, as people are becoming more a and more disenchanted with liberalism it doesn't relate to people who live within 100 miles of a river valley. people are tuning out and becoming shill trying to keep the core audience. >> bill: when you analyze which is what your agency does, mr. graham. there isn't a liberal talk radio presence now on a national basis. there is nobody in new york. nobody in los angeles on a national basis that's done, right in liberal talk radio, air ameri

macon, georgia. he signed for the largest bonus for any athlete in any sport at that time. $75,000.i have done a nice job portraying him he has one of the greatest names ever. i spent a lot of time with him. when i saw him in birmingham, he said that this was part of the book. there's some there is some stuff that is not necessarily positive about him. and he said, well, i have it ready yet. and i thought, okay. then he proceeded to quote the book. not only that there was a part in the book and part of this he got, he got it in 1964 in a candy apple red ford and others talked about how he squealed out of the parking lot and left a rooster tail of gravel. but with this he had installed a stereo. and as i described it, i said that it was part of this specially installed stereo. he claimed that he didn't have the book and he said that it was under the compartment again. again, he noted this. but you haven't read the book. he was okay with the book. he was the man that i was afraid most afraid of even though i was not afraid of the other players. this guy here is one of the main guys. h

. >> gregory macon is serving 40 years for murder. he's been at stateville since 1985.members when the prison had regular programs including theatrical and musical performances that used to take place here in the now long abandoned prison auditorium. >> the musical program was a great thing because of the fact we would have competition against other penitentiaries. and stateville was always number one. in here it's like a cage of awaiting execution because there's nothing for a man to do and no programs or nothing. you're just sitting here like a commodity. you know, a price tag on your forehead with nothing to do. >> rehabilitation, what's that? they erased that out of the dictionary here. there's no such thing as rehabilitation. it's about money. it's all about money. if they can keep a number on you and keep you in here, they get their check and that's it. this is a new cattle drive. >> this is not the place where we want to do services to inmates to get them reintegrated back into society. stateville's not that place. we don't have all those things to offer here. st
