is. >> ring worm is actually just a fun gallon infection. there's no worm involved. it's a common summer eruption people get also known as jock itch, also known as athlete's foot. and these are red patches that occur. they're highly contagious. you want to be careful about sharing your towels. wear flip-flops in the shower. you want to avoid sharing your sporting equipment. these things will travel from person to person throughout an entire family in a short amount of time. >> really wash everything and there is really nothing we can put on top of them to make them go away?

>> there are two huge issues there that will be a part of the debate. they have double booked these debates over the course of one weekend. it will be two straight nights of barbs being traded and fantastic political theater. yes, to answer your question, we will see a lot of these same things. they will be talking about who is the better conservative and they will be talking about immigration. it is a very controversial issue in the state of arizona. >> these debates are back-to- back. hayworth has said that john mccain is reluctant to debate him. >> they put two debates in the course of one weekend, a shortened schedule, you might say, possibly to get them over with. frankly, you know, this is what they have agreed to. a short, compressed weekend, it works to john mccain cost advantage. if their primary was held today, john mccain would win. if we look at current polling in the race, he has a very solid lead. the race was of -- was more competitive about one month ago. these infomercials have been rather devastating for the j.d. hayworth campaign, now he has a lead in these polls. >> the latest shows john mccain at 64%. also tonight in the debate, james deegan with 5% in the poll. what impact as he had in the race? >> pretty minimal. the rocky mountain poll that you just cited is an out liar. many more have showed it to be more like 12 points or 15 points. i have seen a couple that are north of that, definitely and out liar. it will probably be 10 points to 15 points. the third-party candidate should not have a huge effect. let's remember that independent candidates in a lot of polling tends to be over counted. >> is the tea party having an impact in this race? >> i think they are impacting almost every race right now, especially republican primaries. arizona, you already have a very interesting and fraction republican party. you have a very conservative wing and a centrist wing. that is how both of these candidates are working, angling for the more conservative wing. >> there is another debate saturday night. we will cover tonight's debate. you can watch a live on c- span.org at 10:00 p.m., but we will errant live data -- but we will air at on the west coast at 8:30 p.m. live. shira toeplitz, thank you very much. host: joining us now is erika loveley, a reporter at "politico." she has been writing a series of articles about congress, workplace regulations, and congress as an employer. that is what we want to talk to her about. let's start with what the office of compliance is in congress. guest: essentially its job is to oversee the congressional workplace. it is a unique office. not many people know that it exists. tucked away in a side building, what it has been mandated to do is make sure that congressional employees have not only a safe workplace, but also that the employers are actually following workplace regulations. that there is a safe working environment. the office also does a series of safety inspections every congress, looking for things like firetraps and safety issues in different congressional offices. they flagged those to the congressional committee so that lawmakers are aware of what the potential hazards may be. is there overall mission to keep the building and employees saved. >> how long have they been in existence? guest: they formed in 1986. the law was passed in that year and what it mandated was that the office of compliance be created and added oversee the congressional workplace. until 1995, the state of the congressional workplace was not a good one. there were several, major pieces of legislation that did not apply to congress. the family medical leave act, the americans with disabilities act, osha, basic laws that apply to your average workplace were not applied in congress because lawmakers have literally not apply them to themselves. when republicans took over they really made a push to say that we will uphold congress to the same laws that we expect the rest of the american workplace to abide by. along with that, the office of otc was created to implement that mission. guesthost: is congress abiding e laws of the rest of the american workplaces? guest: that is a loaded question. most of all laws that they abide by, yes, they absolutely are and have made efforts to apply them themselves. but there are still some aspects of laws that congress did not apply to itself. there are a number of statutes that currently do not apply to the congressional workplace. for instance, there are statutes that say in your average workplace, records will be kept of employees that are injured, killed, exposed to some sort of toxic fume. basically a record where other people go back, when it happens and what the problem is, giving people the ability to fix those in the future. congress is not required to do that at this point. if someone is being injured in the capital, if a worker falls from a dangerous ledge and we have a machine that is not working correctly and someone is hurt, there is no paper trail. that is kind of a major issue. another part that does not apply to congress right now, basic training and notification for employees of workplace rights and safety issues. in america you might see a poster in a break from telling employees clearly what their rights are and where they can go to get more information. in congress every office is like its own employer and it is up to the members of congress on whether they want to train their employees on this issue. if they want to tell them that the office of compliance exists. serious stuff. host: we are putting up the numbers. congress as an employer is the topic. we have a couple of more issues to discuss with erika loveley before we get your calls. do they have different rules for a member's office or the sergeant harms office? employed directly by a member, directly or by one of its committees? guest: everyone is under the same number of protections. congress said that they get into the individual congressional offices, where there might be small rules that are not on the books. host: obvious that politics is one of them. what did you find from the office of compliance? how did you get it? what did you find in the report guest: you have got to remember that this is an office of about two dozen employees. rarely is there any media. it is a very close and a quiet office. they put out a large report earlier in the week, publicly available on the website. what it essentially says is that there are 6300 safety violations projected to be in the current congress. a striking number, a number of them could be absolutely deadly. catastrophic. the way that the stairwells are designed in the russell office building, but forbid if there was ever a fire or terror attack, the smoke would cause a deadly form of and most of the people in that building work upstairs. the only way to get out is by these stairwells. because of the smoke and fumes, people very likely might not get out. we do not know how many, but it could be a good number, a fatal issue. something that the office of compliance talked about year after year. still, nothing has been done about it. host: does the ooc put out a report every year? >> every two years they put out a report that is a list of the safety violations that congress has, the second is a state of the workplace, overseeing the calls that they are getting from employees. they do put out regular information. however, these reports usually only go to the committee's that oversee them. they are usually, far as i can tell, ignored. that might be read by aides on the committee but they are usually not publicly reported. usually it does not get much attention from the general public. keeping up the capital is not a priority. host: did they speak with you when you got a hold of this report and started writing your story? guest: yes, they did. they explain what was in their report. they definitely expressed concerns. they also expressed a willingness to work with congress. host: we are going to put up the numbers. we are talking about congress as an employer. for democrats, 202-737-0002. for republicans, 202-737-0001. for independents, 202-628-0205. before we get to the calls, i want to go through the articles that you have written based on this report. i want to start here. "the hill exempts itself from veterans lot." what is this? guest: this was contained in the office of compliance report. they often have the responsibility, legally, to tell congress what labor laws or workplace five laws that currently are not applying to themselves. this is called the veterans employee opportunity act. basically, when a veteran applies for the job, it gives them an affirmative action type a boost in the process. creaky, because a number of veterans do look to the government for work when they get out of the surface. -- out of the service. the problem with this is that it does not currently apply to congress and the legislative branch. if i am a veteran and i want to get a job with u.s. capitol police or even as a groundskeeper, i am not getting that boost that i would otherwise be getting if i had applied for a different government job, which is pretty striking. many veterans often apply for jobs as u.s. capitol police. certainly not something that members were aware of, we could find no record of veterans complaining that they had received and fair consideration, but often because they were not even aware that they were missing this affirmative action type of boost. host: another article -- another issue in your article, "abused staffers net nearly $1 million each year." guest: on average taxpayers pay out about $1 million in settlements to congressional employees who have been potentially sexually harassed, abuse, other was unfairly treated by their employment offices. this -- otherwise unfairly treated by their employment offices. what really bothers people about this find is that a member, for instance, can have an inappropriate relationship and inappropriate conduct with a member of their staff, the staff then turns to the office of compliance to press charges. ultimately they will go through a mediation process and sometimes it involves a monetary settlement. that comes out of the taxpayer's pocket. it does not even come out of the office budget. the problem is that the funds to do that are basically limitless. there is a treasury fund that is bottomless and give that money out every year. some found that the settlements told as much as $4 million. other years it was slightly less. host: can you trace it back to an actual member that it happened to? or could it be anyone in the committee or employed in services? guest: here is a problem, it could beat anyone. this passage is for the anonymous and there is a reason for that. the office of compliance is very strict. they do not release the names or the members of those involved. it is not a problem in terms of transparency when the average public wants to know, what was the case about? there is a good reason for that. many of these members, if i am a house member and i have a workplace disputes with one of my staff and it goes to the office of compliance, even if the name of the employee was not released, in a health office there might only be seven employees in my office. if i am a congressman and people know that in mediating with the office of compliance, in a workplace dispute is not hard to narrow down who those seven people are. in the long run it would cause employees not to come forward with their cases, which is not a situation that the office of compliance or congress wants to foster. host: the recent case of erik mess asa and his alleged abuse r harassment, with his former employees go to the office of compliance? my understanding in the news articles at the time, they would go to the speaker's office or the majority leader's office. >> -- guest: interestingly enough, they would go to the office of compliance. you can go the leadership to address these problems, but when you are an employee you want to go to the office of compliance. those are the people that will help you. they have an anonymous system where you can go through dispute resolution and if that does not work, they will hire a third- party independent mediator that will sit down with you and the person you are having a dispute with to say how we can settle this. if the employee is still not satisfied at the end of that process, you have the option of either appealing to the board of directors and they will hand down a final decision, or you can file a case in court. the danger of that is that when you filed a court case, the cases public. in the long run most people tend to do mediation because it is anonymous. most members of congress, if they are having a workplace dispute with employees, whether or not they are guilty or innocent, they will do just about anything to prevent their name from getting into the press and this is a good way to settle it. host: maintenance in the capital, besides the fire issue, are their maintenance issues when it comes to the capitol complex? guest: absolutely. we have done a series of articles about how the capital is literally crumbling at this point. there are millions and millions of dollars worth of repairs the need to be done. this summer the capital started a project refurbishing the rotunda. an ongoing project. again, hundreds of millions of dollars. more minor problems that we are seeing, falling ceiling tiles. one year ago i capitol police officer was injured when a ceiling tile fell down and crashed into his arm. skylights that no longer keep the sun out of the building. we are seeing issues with ledges that are not up to safety codes. if you are a worker on a ledge and you fall, the building is not up to code. house speaker nancy pelosi has absolutely been pushing to get these fixed, but it really boils down to money when you are talking about fixing these problems. congress has had an epic year with spending and have been told by the white house and other leaders to basically try to keep the budget flat this year. the american people do not want to see a big spending bill. the problem with the capital is that it will take a big spending bill to keep it -- get it done. host: how much is spent each year? guest: that is a floating figure, they usually last multiple years. we know that the catalog architect asked for a $750,000 budget -- 17% of that figure, that is only the bare necessities of what he needs to get done, the most pressing projects. release some big numbers we are talking about. host: erika loveley of "politico" is our guest. we are talking about congress as an employer. let's try some phone calls. edward, massachusets, please go ahead. are you with us? caller: can you hear me? host: go ahead. caller: good morning. my question is, is there a set number of staffers for each congressman, congresswoman, that they are allowed to hire? does the government pay for that? or did they pay out of their own salaries? you were talking about the veteran advantage, saying that members of congress were not aware that they were not participating in that, is there a plan to begin to participate in that? are they going to bring that up? guest: thank you for your question. to address your first point, as far as the number of employees, that is up to each individual congressional office. they do receive a certain budget every year and that figure varies from office to office depending on the size of your office. your budget might be smaller than a senator's office if you are in the house. it is about the individual member, how many employees that what hired. obviously there must be aware of the budget. if they spend too much money hiring employees, they may not have money for constituent services and reaching out to voters, etc. addressing the second question of the veterans issue, we have heard from the speaker's office, as well as from other community offices that deal with these kinds of issues. they are potentially considering looking at ways to apply this to congress and the legislative branch so that veterans get the affirmative- action boost. however, there are technical issues in the language that need to be worked out. there are certainly been a number of congress members that represent veterans, have a major base in their backyard that is based on this issue. they were basically not aware, as far as i can tell, of the issue, but it did concern them. i do not think you will see this issue before the august recess bill, but maybe when congress gets back this might be something that they might address. host: it people are interested in reading about the office of compliance the legislative report, where would you recommend that they go? guest: it is right there, a great report. very colorful. you cannot miss it. host: politico.com, if you want to read the series of articles from erika loveley. just type in her name and you will get all of the articles that she has written. florida, democratic line. good morning. caller: friends in jackson said that we should have a civilian legislature that only comes in at a limited amount of time. certainly they envisioned a $4 billion budget for congress. staffers, such as were participating in the financial services reform discussion that left government, they came back making millions from the banks and financial services, lobbying their own staff friends and past legislators. that is not right. host: erika loveley, any response from that -- for that caller? guest: certainly your response is similar to that of many americans. staffers have this connection to other staffers that leave the hill, turning around to come back and lobby. certainly that is an issue. it affects many people. certainly steps have been in place to curb that. for instance, barney frank recently had a very prominent stafford leave his banking committee right after a major piece of legislation had been written, essentially by that employee. he left and went to case to read and decided that he would turn around and -- k street and decided that he would turn around and lobby his old buddies office. barney frank said no and band that employee. we are beginning to see reaction on the other end. . [captions performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2010] guest: each congressional office gets a different amount of money to run their offices. as far as how many members of staff neaps pelosi has, she is the speaker of the house. she has a bigger staff than most members do. it takes a lot of work to be the speaker of the house. but on the other point you're getting at, you know, it's really up to her and her office to regulate how they spend the money and the rules are once your budget is spent, it's spent. so there is that cap there. i mean other than that, you know, i tonight think there's much the voters can do but call and express your opinion. host: just to make it clear, 30,000 staff on capitol hill, not just for the members' offices. guest: no, that's including the capitol police, architect of the capitol, maintenance staff, kitchen staff, owl congressional employees. that's a wide span of people. host: a typical member of congress, you used the figure seven earlier, as the number of employees in that member's office, is that pretty much an average? guest: that's on the smaller side i would say. that would be for a younger house member probably would have about seven. i mean but there are some senators who have as many as 25, 30 staff. and these are usually people who also say chair a committee. they'll have kind of staff members that work for both the personal office and the committee as well. but they're still considered you know, paid by both the committee's budget and the member's budget and the personal office. so you can get quite large staffs that way. host: dave in newton, mass. go ahead. caller: good morning. i have a question for your terrific and talented guest. and i was just wondering, now, are the staffers fall under the feca, federal employee compensation act, are they entitled to if they're injured doing some -- performing their functions, are they afforded all the department of labor protections? guest: there certainly are some protections, that they are covered under. what my article looked at is mostly what they're not given. certainly if you're injured on capitol hill, as i understand it, there is certainly a way that you address the injury, get workman's comp, etc. but i mean as far as you know, letting other people know about your injury, getting a record kept of that, being informed that the office of compliance exists, where you can go and potentially address an issue like this, that's what employees are not getting, and that's a pretty good big knowledge base they're missing out on. host: erika lovely with the "politico." thank you for being our guest on the wurem. about an hour left on the "washington journal." up next we talk with the assistant seven health and husme services, dr. howard koh, we'll talk about the national hiv/aids strategy. >> they're the towering figures and they're all different. they have their different talents, they have their different dangers. >> this weekend robert service on his trilogy of books on arena leaders, lenin, stalin and most recently, leon trotsky. learn about their roles in developing their form of communism. on c-span's "q & a." host: dr. howard koh is on your screen, he is the assistant secretary of health and human services and he's here to talk about the national hiv/aids strategy announced by the president and the white house. dr. koh, how many people in america have aids? >> we have over one million people in this country infected and some 56,000 people infected every year. that's one person infected every 923456 had 23456 1/2 minutes. that's too much. host: about 1.1 million people have aids. >> h.i.v. guest: h.i.v. host: in the states. guest: right. host: how do you define h.i.v. and aids? guest: h.i.v. means you're infected and you have the virus. aids means you have various accompanying illnesses or aids-defining illness of the 1.1 million h.i.v. up effected people about 400,000 have aids. host: how -- is h.i.v. a death sentence still? guest: absolutely not. the good news, peter, is we've made so much progress recipe treatment and so many people are living healthy, productive lives who are h.i.v. above or who have aids. that's the good news. the challenge is we've lost the sense of urgensy about h.i.v. and aids and that's why the president unveiled the strategy after consulting with people in the community and experts across the country about the current status of the epidemic. host: so have we lost the urgency? why? guest: we can think about many possible reasons. we've made a lot of progress in treatment, that's good news. we have many other health threats on the horizon, that's always a challenge. we have the next generation coming up who didn't feel that sense of urgency when the virus was first described some 30 years ago. so this strategy revitalizes national commitment to combating h.i.v. and aids, we want a national vision where h.i.v. is rare and everybody is getting care. host: when it comes to getting h.i.v., is it on the rise? guest: the number of people being infected every year is staying about the same. host: about 56,000. guest: that's right, about for the last decade or so. that means prevention works and in fact there are estimates some 350,000 case investigate been prevented because of the prevention education efforts so far. but we need to do much more, peter. that's why this strategy was unveiled. host: we'll get to the strategy in just a minute. i want to get through the facts here. we're going to put the numbers on the screen. we only have a short time with dr. howard koh. we'll go ahead and put the numbers up if you want to dial in we're talking about the national hiv/aids strategy. what about the drugs to combat aids and h.i.v.? have they been developed to a point where people think well, if i get it, then i'll just take a pill? guest: the gooze good news again is over the last years some 20 new drugs have been discovered and implemented and used by people for caring for this disease and treating this disease. that's the good news. it's still a devastating condition for many people, and there are many, many dimensions to this illness beyond the disease itself. so we've made a lot of progress but we have to do much more. host: how much is the federal government currently spending on h.i.v. prevention and medication, etc.? guest: well, we for this report put an assessment on all the resources that have been applied to this epidemic and some $19 billion have been put forward every year across the country for prevention, for education, for research, for treatments. that's not enough, but it's still a considerable commitment to date. and part of the strategy is to make sure that we're aligning those resources the best we possibly can so key can reduce suffering for the future. host: when it comes to the federal strategy how are those resources being aligned? guest: we have parts of it dedicated to research, parts dedicated to appropriation, there are geographic distribution formulas for the country, and so what the strategy does is gives us an opportunity to assess where we are, see if we can do this better, dedicate the resources to where people are really in need and make sure that we can make a very strong impact for the future. host: and you talked about geographic distribution of funds and resources. where? guest: well, the -- host: the epidemic areas. guest: the epidemic is hitting us in the northeast, in the south, in the virgin islands, and there are many resources that are going to those areas, but there's an opportunity to assess if we are doing it in the best possible way. host: what else is in the national aids strategy? guest: well, there are several goals. one is to decrease new infections by 5% over the next five years. host: by what means? guest: through more emphasis on awareness like this program, on testing, unfortunately some 20% of people who are infected don't know their h.i.v. status. host: is that 20% of the 56,000 who get infected every year? guest: that's right. we need to have a situation where everybody knows what their h.i.v. status is. that's message number one. everyone should know their status. and secondly we need to make sure that people are getting appropriate care and get into care quickly and efficiently and effectively. so this is where the health reform affordable care act actually has a big impact because the new pre-existing condition insurance plan will help people with aids. host: has that taken effect yet or is it off in the future? guest: starting right now i had risk pools and expansion will happen in 2014. we have new programs starting now and this is a bridge to 20 14. host: if somebody is infected today, can't afford drug therapy or can't afford hospitalization or a doctor, and gets infected with h.i.v., what happens? what is the federal government saying -- offering to that person? guest: we have resources in all parts of the country so that's the good news and we have tremendously dedicated officials and community leaders who help people who are newly infected get into care. and we also have a very vibrant ryan white care act that really helps people who are uninsured and underinsured and are of low income. the question now is can we do this even better, align those resources even better in the future. that's part of the strategy. host: dr. koh, what else do you want to tell us about the strategy you think we should know? guest: this is a challenge not for people who are infected but indeed for the whole country. i like to say you don't have to be infected to be affected by this epidemic. we lost too many people to this virus, and this is not opportunity now to rally the country and realign our resources and reaffirm our commitment to confronting this challenge head on. host: dr. howard koh is the assistant secretary of health of human services. what is your area of responsibility as assistant secretary? guest: i have a broad array of responsibilities, advising the secretary, overseeing a dozen offices that have to do with disease prevention and health promotion and in general helping mobilize and intergreat many of the efforts across the country to make the country healthier. host: he is a graduate of yale, the yale university school of medicine and trained at the boston city hospital and at mass gen. his brother just -- his brother is harold koh, the dean of the yale law school. just a little bit of information. let's take some calls. we're talking about the national hiv/aids strategy. our first call comes from nicklaus in milwaukee. go ahead, nicklaus. caller: thank you and thank you for c-span and the informative guest. i was taught by the pope and the good nuns and priests that chastity can prevent the various diseases. this seems to be a lack in the obama administration of stressing chastity and abstinence and they talk about safe sex. in other words, they want to give condoms, birth control pills and so on which i think is a very, very evil, and i hope they change on this. also, the media we have so much sex-oriented programs and we're telling these young people to have sex and we should stop that. host: condoms, abstention. are those parts of your strategy? guest: absolutely. in general, people need education so they can make informed choices to help themselves and protect themselves and stay as healthy as possible. and those are choices people have to make for themselves. so whether it's abstinence and chastity or condoms or other protective services, these are choices people need to make for themselves after they hear about the threat that this epidemic still is in this country. host: so abstinence is not part of the obama administration's strategy. is that correct? guest: abstinence is a foundation obviously especially for young kids. host: less 23iss than the bush administration put on it? guest: in the current situation we have an array of approaches for kids whether it's abstinence or education or protection as people get more sexually active. there's an array of options and people have to choose those options based on their own values. host: next call for dr. koh comes from orlando. norm, you're on the air. please go ahead, democrats line. caller: hello. host: norm, go ahead. caller: yes. the question i have for dr. koh is how can you talk about the -- controlling the spread of hiv/aids when many of the local municipalities, state governments are cutting the -- cutting health programs at the local health departments area. and also, has there been -- why has there not been -- this -- a public health mobilization over the past 10 years or 15 or 20 years in this particular disease? can you show any area where there has been a reduction of the spread of this disease based on the policies they have in place today? host: thank you. dr. koh? guest: thank you for your commitment to local public health. public health is local and we need everybody in not every community to be involved in public health whether it's h.i.v. or any other threat. if you want to stress the positive, we have fewer aids deaths now than 15 years ago, mostly because of these great successes in terms of new medications. the numbers of deaths now have dropped to about 15,000 a year and as we already talked about, peter, we have about 56,000 new infections a year, that number has stayed stable over the last decade or so. but no one is satisfied with that. we want to get those numbers down so that h.i.v. is rare. that's what our goal is. host: there has been talk about a vaccine for aids or for h.i.v. is that promising or is this way off in the future? guest: there was a trial that was based in thailand announced relatively recently that represents an advance but it's still not for public use yet. so we have outstanding researchers at n.i.h. who continue to work on this very important topic and we look forward to more promising news in the future. host: are the infection rates in the u.s. less than other areas of the world? guest: it's interesting, this weekend starts the international aids meeting in vienna. we're going to be meeting colleagues from around the world. this is a global pandemic. there are places around the world that are very severely hit. so we join many colleagues around the world who are facing this as one global planet. host: dr. koh, when you say the $19 billion a year is spent on h.i.v. prevention and treatment, etc., is that just in the states or worldwide? guest: that's in the state states host: next call, robbie, republican, you're on did with dr. howard koh. i'm sorry. where the heck am i? there i am. robbie, please go ahead. los angeles. caller: dr. koh, thank you for being on c-span. i'm a general manager at a manufacturing plant. what may we do as employers to educate our employees about h.i.v. and aids? guest: thank you so much for asking that question. i think the more employers talk about wellness and prevention and health for their employees, the better off we're going to be as a country. there are many aspects of that in the health reform law in fact. so for this particular area, if we talk about testing and knowing your h.i.v. status and the importance of prevention and importance of wellness for the workplace, those are really very, very important themes. host: johnston city, illinois. ashley. good morning to you. caller: good morning. good morning. i feel like i'm the only 21-year-old calling your panel today, but my point is i -- my first point is, i think we need to give america the care. they need to understand the fact that h.i.v. and aids is a viral infection, it is permanent. they need to see that. abstinence is forming your parents more of what they're contracting as this disease progresses. they need to be informed of it i think. i don't think a vaccine -- i think a vaccine would be a wonderful help but it's like an easy button for americans to push and the easiest way is just to know, to be knowledgeable of what this is. guest: i can sense the urgency in your voice and i thank you for your passion. we need to list the -- lift the stigma ma around this area. we're in a time people don't often mention h.i.v. or aids, we don't talk about protection or education and for us to really make an impact you have to have the passion you displayed in your question and talk about education and lift the stigma so people infected can get treatment as early as possible. those are all very, very important themes and all part of the strategy. host: next call is cedar falls, iowa. joan, a democrat. caller: i've been trying for months to get on. this is a topic that really i have to understand is very, very -- it's hurting young people and older people and for the next generation to think that we have a vaccine, sure we might have a vaccine that will cure somebody or help somebody, but the thing that is people rely on that, oh, well we've always got that vaccine. just like the same thing of tobacco. have we always got the thing to cure people from tobacco? no. people have to decide that they desire not to do this. host: joan, do you ever -- is there h.i.v. and aids talked about in cedar falls, iowa? caller: there is. there is somewhat. but of course we can't control it because i don't think that anyone -- any group of people decided that they was going to take it. it's a parental thing. it's a thing that children have to be taught from their parents . host: thanks, joan. guest: again i really appreciate joan's passion and dedication. she's is absolutely right. we can't wait for the vaccine here. we know what to do with respect to prevention right now, and the real message from joan's question is that our good health is a gift, it's something that's very, very precious so we need to protect it every day. and with respect to h.i.v. that protection means education and lifting the stigma and talking about these issues with your neighbors and with your community and really joining in this national strategy that was unveiled by the president several days ago. host: i want to go back to the complacency issue. a couple callers have hypotheticaled around that, okay, well, so what, i'll take a pill. all right. are there studies about the long-term effects of h.i.v. medication? has it been around enough so we can study the long-term effects? guest: we know more about the long-term effects than ever before. people are growing older with h.i.v. that's the good news but they're getting now other health problems as we all do as we get older. host: that are related to the h.i.v. or not? guest: sometimes related to the h.i.v., sometimes related to the medications for the h.i.v. so this is adding to the complexity of aids care in this country. and this is why we really need the broadest approach for aids moving forward. it involves housing and education and good insurance coverage as well as medications especially attention to prevention. host: we got this tweet from parasite simm. dr. koh, annual drug cost to u.s. patients of h.i.v. cocktails are greater than $15,000. gates foundation subsidies are around the world. why not here? guest: we would love to partner with foundations and nonprofit organizations and businesses and in fact when the announcement was made on tuesday, there were a number of business leaders who stood up and said we want to help contribute to this issue and we want to make a difference. that was fantastic. we want public-private partnerships and everybody getting involved. we'd love to explore that. host: wynell in harlem. how are you? caller: good morning. how are you? dr. koh, how are you? i served on the acp up here in harlem -- host: you serve on the what? caller: the acpg, aids chronicle trial group. host: okay. caller: i'm concerned about -- you're not really talking about the policy, what you call, prevents what i'm actually waiting to hear about, but i'm concerned about something that may be coming out which is use ing cervada before you have sex. now, do you have any insight on that? i heard that might be coming out by the end of the year. host: just is send. use what one more time? caller: it's an h.i.v. medication. host: what's it called host: caller: travada. host: are you infected with hiv/aids right now? caller: yes. host: how long have you had it? caller: since 1993. host: how is your health? caller: great. unfortunately my friends up here are not. host: but your health is great. you're part of a clinical trial, a federally sponsored clinical treatment trial? caller: right. what we do is review every medication before it comes out. and also we also review medications for our clinical trial. host: and are you currently taking meld education? caller: yeah, of course. host: do you switch medications as you review them? caller: sometimes if i like the idea, the concept. when i review it, i look at like side effects, i look at you know, how fast does it drop the viral load, i look at all these issues with the medication and if i see something that i like, if i see something like -- we just got a drug approved which is one of the -- it's an inhibitor, an enzyme outside the nucleus -- host: we're going to run out of time. if you would address his specific terms but also for viewers just tuning in review the president's new national hiv/aids strategy for hem. guest: first i want to thank wynell. we are so appreciative when people who are infected get involved in research and become community leaders on this issue. we want to thank him. the specific question he was asking about is what is called preexposure prophylaxis, it's an area of intense research. to wrap up, we're excited about the relationship that the president has shown after consulting with the community because we have a chance now to really make a difference in this epidemic that's been in this country for too long. we've lost too many people and have some major initiatives we can achieve by working together. host: are you familiar with the project that he was talking about up in harlem, this particular trial? guest: there are many trials on this topic of so called pre-exposure prophylaxis. that's an area of interest, yes. host: time for one more call. joyce in killingworth, connecticut. go ahead, joyce. caller: good morning, dr. koh. i'd like to ask you, with freedom of travel, the various cultural differences especially in countries like uganda, i've worked with people there, how can we ever get a handle on aids and h.i.v.? guest: well, we view actually a global partnerships and freedom of travel as an opportunity, and again this international aids meeting is convening in austria in vienna this weekend and we're very excited about this because it brings some 25,000 people together who are scientists and advocates and patients and leaders in every community around the world to say we have a global challenge and we can do something together here. i think the world will be thrilled to see the united states being explicit about this new strategy and in fact in 201, two years from now we're hosting the international meeting in washington, d.c. we're very excited about that. host: do travel restrictions have to be changed by law? doesn't the u.s. restrict people with h.i.v. or aids? guest: that restriction was lifted in january of this year. host: across the board permanently? guest: permanently for this country. that's helped enable the international conference to be held in d.c. in two years. we're excited about that. host: would you say that president obama's aids strategy is -- how different from the bush administration's aids strategy? guest: the bush administration did an outstanding job starting this overseas effort, the president's emergency plan for aids research, pepfar. we thank the bush administration for launching that. we still have a domestic challenge here with 1.1 million people infected. that's where president obama's vatty is focusing with this announcement of this strategy earlier this week. we hope the two together will make a difference for our country and around the world. host: your boss is going to be speaking about the capping of the gulf oil well. guest: good news. host: he's still not out there but we'll take a couple more calls. alicia, columbia, maryland. caller: good morning, gentlemen. let me say our love and blessings to the troops. doctor, i don't know your last name host: host: dr. koh. please go ahead, alicia. caller: could you kindly comment on how much osha has a hand on regulating and educating people who work with us like the dentists and the gynecologists? some of them will just come at you with the dirty hands with no gloves and you have to say please, wear gloves. host: all right. thank you so much for your comments. doctor? guest: education of providers whether it's doctors or dentists, nurses or others, is a very critical part of the strategy. it's also very important with respect to prevention for providers. so we have a lot of emphasis on preventing needle sticks, some make sure that health professionals don't get h.i.v. through their practice of caring for others. so their -- there are roles for community members and providers, and we want us all working together on these issues. host: wanda in new hope, pennsylvania, republican line, you're on with dr. howard koh, assistant secretary of health and human services. caller: this is not directly related but i'm wondering why do we have to advertise sex, i'm talking about the viagra and watermelon ads that do not keep sex at the proper level. host: any response? guest: i'm hoping in light of the strategy we can talk as much about prevention and h.i.v. being a rare illness as about having ads like that because we want a society where h.i.v. infections are rare and the public health messages have to go forward and that's what the strategy is all about. host: for somebody just tuning in how does the health care legislation passed in march affect the national hiv/aids strategy? guest: well, for people who have aids and who have not had insurance coverage over the last six months, they're now eligible to get coverage through the so-called pre-existing condition insurance plan. that's starting up right now across the country. that's good news for lots of people. and that's a plan that's a bridge to 2014 when medicaid gets expanded so that will give also more coverage to people who are uninsured or underinsured. host: in castleburg, florida. independent line. you're on with dr. howard koh. please go ahead. caller: good morning, doctor. i'm calling in regards, i wanted to ask a question, make a comment first and ask a quick question. i have a few relatives that are infected -- two have aids and passed away in the past four years, and then one of them who is very close relative, i don't want to say, has h.i.v. right now. and another -- with the two of my relatives they didn't have insurance and they didn't get the quality, i guess the care, i guess the medicine that they need and when they did, it made them very sick. and the one that has insurance, he's getting pretty good care. and they're african-americans. i'm wondering because i worked as a nurse in the health care field, i notice that the statistics always says african-americans has the highest, african-americans women have the highest rate with the aids and h.i.v. and then other races is low. but in the health care, i noticed from my -- from what i've seen that it's just about even and i'm thinking because the other race, maybe they have the quality health care that maybe it wasn't you know, in the told,, you know. host: is that your question? caller: yes. my question and my comment. thank you. host: we'll have him break it down. an interesting question. guest: you touched on critical themes. first of all you're absolutely right. there are some populations that have a disproportionate burden. african-americans have higher rates of infection than the rest of the population and so we need to make sure that people are supported and get the resources they need. with respect to care, i should stress the community health centers often deliver outstanding care for people in need. many clients are not insured right now. so we have a lot of resources we can bring to bear but now the strategy gives us an opportunity to do it even better in the future. host: how does the national eight aids strategy developed by the president and the h.h.s. utilize those public health services that are local and you know, -- guest: we now have 150 days to bring all the leaders throughout government, all the agencies that are running the separate programs rand bring them together as one and say how can we do this better, more efficiently realign our resources and meet the needs? so that's exactly a question we'll be tackling through the rest of this calendar year. and we're hoping that with the energy the president has given us and the secretary that we're going to have a more efficient strategy moving forward. host: break down men, women, infection rates. how many men of this 1.1, the figure we'll use, 1.1 million, men and women. guest: men make up about 3/4 of those infected. more men than women. host: of those, of the 1.1 million again, gay/straight. guest: men who have sex with men have a much higher rate of infection, much higher risks. that's a high-risk population. host: of that 1.1 million is that 3/4 gay? guest: we say about half of new infections come from men who have sex with men. host: half. what about race? guest: people of color have a higher risk than others, so african-american communities are harder hit, latino communities are harder hit. and these are part of the health disparities we need to narrow with the health strategy. host: okay. all right. long island, marierepublican. caller: yes. good morning, dr. koh. i have worked in the h.i.v. industry in the prevention side of things overseas and also in the state of new york. and so my views are from sort of an insider. my question and i'm not sure if you can answer it at this point but i want to put it out there, is that when i first started working overseas as an international development and health professional, i noticed that there were lots of funding and lots of jobs overseas for the h.i.v. industry. coming back to the u.s. and back to my state of new york i've noticed that there's less prevention work, prevention type jobs specifically in education. i have been an educator, i've educated in rural areas and the mountaintops of haiti. coming back to the u.s., there's less emphasis on education that i've noticed since 2005 and i understand the c.d.c. policies as far as focusing whatever limited moneys there are towards the curative end of things but being that this national strategy hopefully i

mary on the same day. there was always a tenderness toward mary which he never abandoned even as he abandoned her. >> rose: so sum up for me this fascinating man whose 300 works are represented here. what you hope people who come here will walk away with. >> i think there's so many different strains that one could pick up in this exhibition. first it's his career, his achievements, this stylistic diversity. then there's his work in different media which can be different and discreet. he transformed a lowly poster making medium into something very creative and exciting. it's interesting to me that i was a graduate student in the '70s this work was derided as being sort of commercial, souvenirs for tourists and yet the public response to this room, the color, the size of these prints is extraordinary. i think time has moved on and just as we look at the interest in mid-century modern furniture, for example, i think we can see similar interest in mid-century picasso. >> rose: let me talk about specific paintings. "seated harlequin, 1901." >> it's an extraordinary work that shows how quickly picasso was able to assimilate his visual environment. so he comes to paris in summer 1901, he stays in montmartre which is plastered with works of toulous-lautrec. he seize works of gaugin and cezanne in the back of a gallery and he makes an amalgam of all those artist styles in this singular iconic image that can only be by picasso and yet we can point to absolute almost plagiarized elements from gaugin, van gogh "the wallpaper" toulous-lautrec "the pose" and yet it's a picasso. most importantly, it's probably the first appearance of the harlequin in picasso's art. which soon would become one of his alter egos. self-identified. >> rose: do you believe that this painting is... as some have suggested is a kind of brooding about the suicide of his friend? >> i think there's some of that there. you know "harlequin" is the lusty nimble acrobat that is constantly stealing the pretty maid, columbine, from pierreo. that's why he's the sad clown. he's always losing his girlfriend to the lusty nimble harlequin. and yet he shows harlequin in his outfit but with the white face of pierro. so he makes a new type for european painting which is the pensive, reflective, melancholy harlequin that didn't exist before. >> rose: there's this interesting work, "the erotic scene" in 1903. >> picasso himself has denied that painting. when pierre dex, his cataloger and very good friend, showed him a photograph of in the the '60s, pee picasso shook his head and said "it's not by me and by the way i've done worse." in other words, i've made dirtier pictures. so it's not the subject that's the problem. he said it's a bad joke by my spanish friends done when we were all together in paris. so when we were looking at this painting with the conservatories, first we wanted to test it to see if picasso was right. is there anything about this picture that is not like the rest of the picasso and we have a lot of picassos, the paintings of 1902-1903. and there was nothing wrong with it. the canvas, the medium, the oil paints were typical. some of the brush strokes seemed quite characteristic, others not. it's a slap dash painting. it seems to be unfinished. a trifle. but through the work of one of our researchers here we were able to track backwards how the paintings came to be with scofield theyer in the '20s and from that we learned it belonged to picasso's tailor named soler in bars low that who was a good friend of his from 1899/1900 and it's known picasso would trade pictures and watercolors for a new suit of clothes and it makes perfect sense that he would make this dirty little pick tkhaur would be amusing to his tailor friend and give it to him. and the tailor sold in the 1912 to a bars low that dealer who sold it to a paris dealer. so it has to be right. there's still people, however, who say that it's not, it's a joke, he shows... picasso shows himself in the pose of goya's famous maja at the prado except as a woman performing a sexual act on him. >> rose: why do you think he denied it? >> some kind of discomfort i think or perhaps he even forgot. whatever, 60 years after the fact. and he could have confused his painting with another work that wasn't by him. >> rose: all right. the "the blind man's meal" 1903. >> there's the painting that at once is a reflection of his material circumstances, his own desperate poverty, the... his own fear of blindness through venn tphaoerl disease because of his own promiscuity and yet this is a painting that could hang in a church over an altar, it's the christian eucharist. it's the body and the blood of christ. so quite extraordinary for toth century painting of religious scene to be so effect i effective both as a scene of everyday life and a work of great spiritual value. his politics were always on the left, always. even know the 20s he was... his friends teased him, that was... that he was living the high life in this glamorous resorts, his wife was a beautiful russian dancer, gal gal rena, cocteau, living on the tone kpwr *es street in paris, but his sympathies always was with the disenfranchised. >> rose: as reflected in this painting. >> absolutely. >> rose: and his own circumstances when he was a hungry artist. >> yes. >> rose: "the frugal repast." >> one of his great 20th century etchings done with a needle and almost a la prix ma. just was very... just a hint of outlining and this expression... etching is quite an art. it takes a lot of practice in order to realize a successful etching. you're literally scratch ago copper bleat a needle. you're never really sure what you're doing until it's too late and i think it's a reflection of his masterful technique already at this time and also following on the blind man's meal that particular moment of poverty in his life. >> rose: someone once said i guess that it's remarkable in light of the fact that picasso was mostly taught... >> and self-taught in sculpture as well. he had friends like manolo and gonzalez who taught him rudimentary tricks but i think it's because he wasn't bound by convention in print making and sculpture that, in fact, he was so innovative. that was liberating for him. >> rose: next one is "act t actor" in 1905. >> that's a pivotal picture, i think, and one of the great strengths of our collection. it shows him leaving the blue period for the rose period. leaving the tattered beggars to this new race of acrobats. typical of his political ideology, he's not interested in the greatest and best paid circus performers and clowns, he looks to these itinerant travelers, these acrobats who may have have a tent or wagon and move from village to village, dusty costumes and perform for donations. you see him leaving the blue period with the attenuation of al greco, these hands. el greco was the touchstone for the blue period, yank was the touchstone for picasso in the rose period. ankh. ang. although it's painted with a picasso like expressive thety, it's like ang. >> rose: how long did rose period last? >> e seine hr-rbl ayear. ... essentially a year. >> rose: that's what i thought. >> it begins when he moves from bars low that to paris in the spring, things look up, he meets a beautiful woman and there's a calm and peace that rains over his art and we see that in the paintings. >> rose: did this painting? something happened to it (. >> there was an accident where a visitor... >> rose: a viz snore. >> a visitor lost her balance and fell and then hit the painting with her elbow. >> rose: how did they inform you this had happened? >> i was in the building right down stairs. i raced up. another curator arrived first on the scene. the guards quickly emptied the room of visitors. >> rose: (laughs). >> we had technicians with a cart and we raced the patient up to the conservation lab collecting any little flecks of paint that might have fall on the the floor so that they could be reattached to the canvas. it was a severe blow to the picture and the most important thing is to keep the canvass... you want it to be flat so that you can look at the paint and not be disturbed by irregularity of the surface. they did an amazing job but it took quite some time with weights and moisture to in a sense heal the wound. to allow it to relax so the paintings could be stitched together and it's very much like a wound in skin. there's a scar on the back and it has to be knitted together just like the skin does. >> rose: have you seen steve winn's painting since he repaired it? >> yes, i have. it was shown at aqua vessel have gallery. it's almost visible. >>. >> rose: stunning what you can do. the next one is... pronounce this for me. >> willapin agile. the lively rabbit. it showed a rabbit jumping out of a skill let. this was the cafe where picasso and his friends would relax in the afternoon and i suspect he painted his paintings in order to settle his bill or in anticipation of running an account there every month. as asher miller wrote, it was the only one on public view in paris from 1905 to 1912. we have a photograph of it deformed on the wall because it wasn't stretched. >> rose: steve martin wrote a play about it. >> he did. and it's actually the first instance of picasso showing a painting in which he clearly identifies with haar quinn. it's something john richardson has dealt with masterfully because it was... we know it was painted in winter/spring 1905. he was deeply in love with fernando livier and engaged in something that looked... they were a couple. it looked like a marriage and yet for this painting he placed this woman at his side and jermaine, of course, had been the lover of picasso's best friend carlos casagemas who when the love was not reciprocated tried to kill her. committed suicide. she was not harmed and what does picasso do? he moves back to paris, stays in casagemas' apartment and starts sleeping with jermaine. >> every moment there was something happening. the next painting is gertrude stein 1905, 1906. i think the important lesson there is what an unreliable biographer gertrude stein is. i think leaving her painting to the met was a bid for fame and posser the tae. she wanted her image by a picasso which was her tangible link to the person she considered to be the greatest artist in france, in europe, in the world of the 20th century. she wanted it to be in an important museum. she wrote in her biography later in the 30s that there was more than 90 sittings for this painting and having... we realized that was impossible. picasso worked very quickly. he didn't like having anyone it ising there because his memory was so exact because his capturing a likeness, he was a great caricature was so strong. but the painting was reworked and there are four different faces that we can see, different poses from full profile and up and down and finally three quarters in view in the final picture. he finished that painting after his summer vacation in spain when a new primitivism was entering his art so he gave her this mask like and stony regard which wasn't there earlier. >> rose: is it true the famous thing she said when she said "it doesn't look like me." and picasso said "oh, yes, it will." >> rose: it will. i'm quite something close to that was said. picasso was right it's an old trope of any portrait painter. in order to get an enduring like ness you have the focus on the skull. painters used to measure the head in order toxd understand where your cheekbones were, where your chin is, what your relationship between these principle features and if you can capture the skull because the face ages, skin sags. then you have an enduring ikeness. >> rose: self-portrait in 1906 where picasso looks younger than his actual age. >> he had just shaved his head. perhaps for lice or the hraoet, he was in the pyrenees north of bars low that and goes that's where he was touched by a primitive local stone carving tradition and he bought these almond shapes eyes and large noses, mask-like features to himself and the portrait of gertrude stein. our picture which is quite fine immediately proceeds stein at the philadelphia museum that was in their picasso show. i think those two were meant to be together and perhaps he hoped the steins would buy a larger self-portrait. in tend he gave this little one to gertrude and she kept it all of her life. >> rose: she never sold bit? >> it wasn't sold until, i think, 1967 when the works in her care were finally... so gertrude left... the portrait of gertrude stein to the met and the rest of the collection as it was at that moment because gertrude sold and lived off of her collections, they acquires things from 1904 to 1914 and almost nothing thereafter. they said during the second world war "we're eating the cezanne" because they sold the cezanne and that's what they were living off of. what was left when she died, alice toke las had life interest and her nephew and his heirs inherited the rest of the collection. >> rose: standing nude 1908." >> we have two of these exceptional watercolors from the winder of o 1907/1908 just after the moment he completed the watershed painting for him at the museum of modern art. a great painting. and here he's working out one of the ideas of this that painting which are these rhythmic arks in flesh color and blue, alternating, trying to make the human figure conform to the imposed formalist decision about these arc-like shapes. so you have the figure emerging as if from clay but what's great as we have two works possibly made on the same day or one day after the next and you see his first idea with pencil shading and a little correction and then you see his second idea in which he's following through and it's marvelous to juxtapose those two on the wall. >> rose: "head of a woman" which sculpture. 1909. >> that's commonly thought to be the first cubist sculpture. we know it differently because it's a bronze and dark. but for picasso it was a first clay and then a plaster. for him it was light colored and meant to be reflective. for him he was trying to understand how sculpture it could, be it could be almost translucent or transparent. he wanted to penetrate the skin of sculpture which rodin had worked so magnificently in order to get some kind of internal strug which you are which can be viz to believe the viewer. so you see those same ark like forms that we see in the figures of 1907 and 1908. but these deep gouges in which he's trying to penetrate the exterior and set up reflections of light to suggest transparency it was a watershed work for sculptors throughout europe, russia,Ñi chex slovakia, spain, england when they saw this work. it was one of the first works to be diffused in america. whenever anyone would see that, they'd take one home. it was the way picasso's cubism was understood by most of the world. >> rose: how does it compare to his paintings? >> i think his impact was much greater. he was more prolific as a painter but he was much more innovative. using unexpected materials, hanging things on the corner. the russian constructivism comes out of picasso, futurism comes out of picasso. so many important developments of 20th century art which can be pinpointed to picasso's first endeavor. >> rose: in 1910 "the standing female nude." this is. >> this is a great drawing brought by alfred stieglitz from paris to new york. shown in his gal reurbgs all the artists here look at it puzzled, amazed, begin to work in a similar vein because they're going to patience, seeing what the new developments are. and in 113 it's already... has works by american and europeans that are reflections of this kind of cubism by picasso, this drawing was reshown. so a key work in the history even in the arc of our country america. >> rose: would it say something like a fire escape and not a good one? >> it was derided and if you think of the most sensational paintings and nude descend ago scare case which was called an explosion in a single factory. that nude descending staircases is almost a plagiarism of this drawing by picasso. >> rose: in 1915. >> this is one of the most beautiful of the naturalistic drawings by picasso. done after a photograph as so many works by picasso were. this is only beginning to understand the impact of photography on picasso. not only was he an avid photographer and that he used that as an aid for picture making but he collected postcards and photographs and so a lot of the so-called negro style of 1907 is coming not just from african art which he was exposed to by matisse but also he collected ethnographic photographs of africans. he used this photographs as the basis. >> rose: a few more. guitar and clarinet on the mantlepiece. >> here's the fascinating work of 1915, a turning point in picasso's career. a woman whom he was living with and very much in love was dying of tuberculosis or cancer throughout the entire year and picasso wrote his friend gertrude stein "my life is hell, i spend the whole time in the metro going back and forth to the nursing home see my poor ava disintegrate." through that year his pallet changed from a light bright sandy beige and pale blue, the color of your tie to a deep rich maroon and black pallet as his ava's condition worsened throughout the year. and it's interesting that as we examined our painting and did pigment samples we can see how times he changed the pallet of this picture, rechanging the same still life elements in darker and darker colors. >> it was about mood most of all. >> yes. and the great... the final expression of it is the harlequin. they have so many signal masterpieces. there they have a collecting strategy. and the harlequin of 1915 shows harlequin as a sort of haar binger of death. >> rose: since we've used the word collecting strategy a number of times, does the metropolitan museum of art have a collecting strategy now about picasso? i. >> i know what we need and i think rest of the word does, too. we see the holes in our collection. we need great sculpt tkphrur the late 20s and '30s. we have extraordinary print bus we're missing a few of the most important... >> rose: and you know whose hands they here in and how old they are? >> rose: we're working on eight cylinders. >> rose: (laughs) someone once said to me... you know where this comes from i'm sure. why did you give your work... why are you going to give your work to the metropolitan museum? and he said strength goes to strength. >> rose: that was walter annenberg, of course. and the collection might have had more transformative impact than other institutions but i... you know, he believed in institutions. he believed in them and he also saw just so particular to his own biography walter anenburg saw an institution that was about to fail which was the barns foundation and he saw what happened to an institution that didn't have the financial strength to last in perpetuity. so in giving his collection to the met he understood not only ... >> rose: it will be here for a long time. >> we had the financial capacity to keep our doors open for eternity. >> rose: a woman in white, 1923. >> a beautiful painting probably based on the features of his new wife, still very much in love with her. although there may be a melding as well with this young americanary esz murphy from easthampton, new york. who was married to gerald murphy and they were fitzgerald like great gatsby... >> rose: spent summers in italy? >> in the south of france. and glamorous jazz age couple and picasso and olga enjoyed their company. there's also a bit of self-portraiture in these neoclassical heads of women as well with that strong bulbous nose. >> rose: to nocera murphy, did she look like the other women? >> when you look at olga and her thin nose and lips and then you look at these big heroic pompeiien women it's an amalgam. because picasso met olga in italy the first time he had gone, saw the sistine chapel, the great frescoes of michaelangelo, rafael, goes to o pompeii, sees the antique fresco there is and makes an amalgam. >> speaking of that and women in his life, the dreamer, 1932. >> here is one of the most tender and evocative images of mary it's the mistress he never turned on. he turned to other women for sexual satisfaction but i don't think he ever lost his love for mary... i think pee kas was so was in his 40s when he met her and she was quite young, 14 when they ran into each other in front of the sidewalk i think he was amaze add young woman of that age and beauty would fall in love with him. he looked back at her with a tenderness and affection that to me is apparent in all his deexpects of her. whether she's sleep organize reading. she's always being looked at. she's always an object of his gaze. whereas dora maar is always looking at us. so dora maar had this keen, inquisitive, sharp intellect and was stimulating to picasso and that comes across in this pictures of her like dora maar seated in an armchair where she looks like a nervous spider queen drawing webs around the world with marieerer the race we see always this beautiful languid sensuality. >> you see the intelligence in dora maar. >> we do, but not tha

what i would like to talk about is how export mary's life and live mary's sport. -- house fourth marries life and live marries sport. even if your not going to the professional level, it teaches you so many lessons. you have to be focused and you have to be disciplined. you have to be willing to show up every day if you want to be good, if you want to perform well when you get into competition. if you have to be focused during the whole practice. you cannot let your mind wander. that translates into life. when you are in school and at work and trying to achieve something, whatever it takes, you have to stay focused. discipline is huge. you have to be disciplined. often we would say that we had no discipline. we did not make ourself to what we needed to do. it is the same thing in life. you have to have discipline in order to put the work in and it is not always easy. it is something that comes with time. as a young person, sports teaches you to be disciplined and to apply yourself and it makes a difference. it is just a lesson, especially when you have good coaches around you, like when
