we can do this with groups that have met -- have not met for four months, but some have not met since 2006. i wonder if there is a way to speed up the process. i am sure there have not and other groups that have been working in the past year. i am sure some of it is and administrative issue in terms of the capacity of your office. but are there ways we can make this more up-to-date? >> there is. recently, the board of supervisors passed legislation that would require the board to place all its appointments and vacancies on the city's main website in addition to our own website. what we are doing in our office, instead of doing the act on an annual basis -- to do not a full maddy act review, but to do it on a quarterly basis, where as these things come to our attention we will collect them, try to maintain what a reason is they are not meeting. if we find they are not meeting, certainly we could submit that to the city attorney earlier than annually. that could come to you on a quarterly -- it is certainly something we could talk about the time frame. chairperson kim: thank you. it was

we have met with business owners. we have met with workers. we have met with taxpayers. we have met with consumers and small business owners. what you have before you is an amendment that i would like to make, and i make a motion to amend the legislation along the signs of the draft before you. let me tell you a little about this amendment. what this amendment does is that it recognizes a concern that has been outline by it business community. there is a problem with the legislation as currently written where you have a requirement that the accounts, the health reimbursement accounts, be managed indefinitely. so this menment takes into consideration that concern. as amended it would place a time limit. the time after conclusion of employment, 18 months, and if there is no acktiffer during that 18-month period, then the employer or business would no longer be required to maintain that account. and the account, assumings all other things are followed, the account would revert back to the business. we have heard the kesh and are addressing it through that change. i also thi

they how they met somewhere somebody they met through a mutual friend my father knew from the first and how i see the connection was the bolshoi theater and. there was a brother to march so my mother loved the ballet and this mutual friend of the ballet and he said and introduce each other but in fact even when they were introduced. their mutual friend called for you to go it's an didn't didn't introduce him as as an englishman you said he said he and the stone you know why because it was sort of so as not to frighten her so no more home but if you do speak russian my father speak on her and say he's broken russian we could which could sound like a lot like it but he said to his credit better than broken it's he said the rights of russian much better than me if it was an accent anyway so this is why your mother could have taken him from someone from the baltic before so and they and they met and and they fell in love and if i had even though it seems to us that they believe that they could get married and they and the they registered to get married to that point. the k.g.b. intervened.

take foreign minister met him a week ago and said that the violence has intensified.f it does not stop immediately, turkey will take steps, although he did not support. what syria has done to try to ease the pressure is to stake highly publicized troop patrols. these are cosmetic moves. on the ground, demonstrations are breaking out and being repressed in dozens of places every day. >> forces loyal to colonel gaddafi continued to battle libyan rebels for the west side of tripoli. the rebels said they have cut major supply lines. they say that gaddafi's days are numbered. they have held several days of talks. but neither side appears willing to compromise. our middle east editor says that there is no sign of compromise on both sides. >> there appears to be quite a bit of diplomatic activity, but not a great deal of diplomatic achievement. local media reports and other sources have been saying that, on the holiday island near the libyan border, venezuelan on envoys has sent a delegation. there are not talking directly to each other. also, the un secretary general's envo

she's a woman and a woman needs to be a woman. >> when i met him, i met him -- i had met him on the streetlready on parole, and i was on parole. and it took like a whole month for him to tell me that he was on parole. you know what i mean? but he finally told me that he was on parole and he had also told me that he was married. he was married. you know what i mean, to a female out there. so he had a wife when i met him, you know, but and we both ended up in here together, you know what i mean? when i seen him, i was like, wow, you know what i mean? so we decided to go ahead and become cellmates. he told his wife on the streets about me. he wrote a letter and told her about me and about a month later, she served him divorce papers. he got divorce papers served here. >> that's my number one hero. i'm always going to love her. that's going to be my number one pride and joy. ain't nobody else step in front of that. nobody. >> i got sunblock on my hands. >> while some inmates get along together in sny, others have a more difficult time. >> i got into an incident out there where they said if i'm

and i live in california and almost no one i met have met lumbis. >> now, when we talk about tribes, there's a word that -- sort of the operative word for legal and other purposes, which is enrollment in tribes. >> uh-huh. >> that becomes sort of a choice. i don't enroll as a norwegian american who lives in chicago who also is this and also is that. i think st. patrick's day, the whole city enrolls as irish, but there's nothing formal about it, but here's this operative word that i think has some sort of legal significance. >> it does. and it varies tribe to tribe to tribe. i think it's almost impossible to say anything in general about native americans 'cause there's so many differences and so many tribal nations. there are 565 tribal nations, federally recognized tribal nations in this country now. and this excludes, of course, the lumbis. and every tribe basically gets to say whether or not -- how they want to manage their own affairs and who can be enrolled in the tribe and who not. and the advantages of being enrolled often have to do with just basic rights like being able to co

[applause] several of us met with dr. francis collins about the desire and need and imperative to elevate the center to an institute. dr. collins is responsible as well. the center has all of the prerogatives and abilities that an institute has. if it has all of those authorities and responsibilities, it is an institute so why not call it an institute? [laughter] congress agreed with us and indeed passed legislation to establish this instant -- this national institute for minority health and health disparities research. we are very pleased with that. it was not too long ago we had our first minority surgeon general who had previously been deputy director of the national institute of child health and human development at nih. the first woman and first hispanic to serve as surgeon general and dr. healy was the first woman to serve as director of nih and established the women's health initiatives at that time and really helped to show that women suffer from heart attacks, strokes and other diseases where they were thought to

>> i remember when we met aaron, the man was tattooed, incredibly inked. if one word describes him, it's intense, just full of energy. and i remember when my producer asked him, what's the daily routine? he just started right in on telling us what it was all about. >> one person has to get down, put the bunk down. you come over here, do your business. you wipe the sink out after you're done. there are rules people live with. you have to be pristine. see how i'm playing in the toilet? this is clean. i could wash my face in here. we don't live like pigs. we're not animals. everything is spotless. that's why everything is so shiny. there's etiquette. say i have to pass gas, right, i'm not going to fart in the cell. i'll sit on the [ bleep ] and hit the button. that way it goes down. it's hell. it's constant pressure. every day. it's like an animal in a cage, you know. you get poked. you get poked. you get prodded, not just by staff but by everybody. everything's a challenge. this is a place where evil lives, you know? >> though he seemed eager to express hims
