. >> i have a question as well, mr. su. so, given the building is three separate buildings attached with the same foundation, the initial plan was to actually replace all the foundation. so, would that be better or worse? >>> no, it's not three separate buildings. they act as one building. they are legally three separate properties. but if you replace one unit -- if you make one unit stronger, then you still have weakness. in this case the foundation is unbalanced as don had mentioned because it's a retaining wall. it's only favoring the center building. it is not favoring -- it is not balancing the other loads. >> okay. and then from the initial plan and the revised plan, what do you feel is the more solid of a -- >>> it is a matter of standard of practice. it is not one factor safety more than the other. what you look for is consistency. if you're designing a structure, if you're designing the same retaining wall and the same soil conditions, you need consistencies. you need the same level of factor safety. and you're out

mrs. jackson is reportedly suing for billions of dollars.tor paul cow an and rachel self. this is a negligence case, a civil case. how will the jackson family try to prove this? >> well, i think they're going to have a tough time. it is kind after ridiculous case. picture this. michael jackson says to the concert promoters i want you to hire my personal physician. a guy who's licensed in four states and has never had a disciplinary problem brought against him, conrad murray. the promoters hire conrad murray. then at jackson's request he administers parole follow killing michael jackson and now the jackson family's trying to blame the concert promoter. they got to convince the jury of that and they got $40 billion. i say it is an uphill battle to sell that theory. >> so rachel, are you saying this is laughable? >> yeah. i agree with paul. what we're dealing with here, it doesn't make somebody professional incompetent to have personal debt. there's only one remaining claim here. aeg has actually taken this one remaining claim up to the appeals

mr. buell and miss ballard. three minutes rebuttal. >> i failed to mention which i think is important to not sound so presum sus that i had influence over the common wealth club but i searched all of the meetings and records for two full years and could not find any title that had a degree of bias or a subject matter that had only one side presentation. so i made that the case for when i went back to them and asked them for their consideration to change the title and add a person that could contribute to the other, or some other information about the issues and not have it so one-sided. i just wanted to say that. >> while you are here, i have a quick question. >> i was going to take questions after public comment. >> go ahead. >> okay. >> miss ballard. >> commissioners, i hope to offer up a clarifying comment although it may confuse things. but we actually, to miss gong's responsibility in terms of the back up tapes. we actually switched e-mails system and so now, the back up tapes do reside in the department, but at the time of the request in the e-mails on the request they did not they resided with the department of technology just to

suing for more than $5 million claiming he pitched the idea months earlier. no comment yet from mr.n the suit. gretch, to you. >>gretchen: this is going to be an interesting discussion. first it was yahoo. now best buy becoming the latest company to put restrictions on employees who want to work from home. the electronics retailer informed its work erstwhile they're not banning telecommuting outright, workers must now get managerial permission before they can continue to work at home instead of at the office. is this policy a good one? here is the chief business officer of completely bare high-tech spas and the c.e.o. for small tech business authority. good morning to both of you. marissa mayer from yahoo set this off last we can when she announced she was going to do the same thing for yao. is this a good or bad idea? people need to sit around in the office together and that increases the bottom line? >> i'm sure this clearly worked for yahoo. at new tech we have business clients across the united states and many of our business clients use working from home as a tool. it is extrem

sued disney. he was awarded $8,000 this week. he and his lawyer join me from los angeles. first of all, mr. explain exactly what disreflexia is. in addition to being qu quadraplegic during this event you experienced that. what is it and why did it make the ride so traumatic? very good question. it is a condition that people like myself with chronic spinal cord injuries suffer when your bladder extends to incredible amounts. i normally have a bladder capacity of about 500 ccs. in this case i was way over 1600 ccs and that really triggered the condition which skyrocketed my blood pressure to over 210 to 190. talk us through the experience. do you think disney land was responsive to your needs? >> i believe that the eventual course of action was very lengthy and, you know, to answer your direct question, i would say, no. not initially. >> and what did you think when you heard about this case? >> i thought about whether or not disney was prepared for emergencies for people with disabilities like mr. martinez, and i thought perhaps there were warnings they should have given him in anticipation o

mr. speaker, durable medical equipment supplier recently sued the u.s. department of health and human services over medicare's competitive bidding program. in february, the judge dismissed the case stating the supplier had no jurisdiction because congress prohibited judicial review of the program in 2003. the court was, and i quote, stated deeply concerned about the unjust consequences of its order. so concerned the court was compelled to issue a memorandum from the full opinion. all citizens are entitled to equal justice under law by the right to receive medically necessary treatment. the extent that a civilized society is measured which it protects its most vulnerable members, it has failed today. congress has the benefit to ensure c.m.s. is transparent and the comparative bidding program doesn't prevent access to these critical services. i will not be complacent, mr. speaker, and this body should not be content with the culture of insecurity by providers and the vulnerable population they serve. the american people deserve better and i yield back. the

sued. prosecutors have all sorts of things that protect them from being held accountable for very deep corruption and that's how they get away with it. >> john: you tracked down the jurors from mr. mckinney's second trial. one of the jurors total you after the trial, this quote was amazing said if i had been in the jury room, i would have been felt like mr. mckinney was guilty. if this isn't a legal it has to be highly unethical. this is based on what the judge said? after the mistrial last april apparently met with the jurors afterwards. that's something judges are allowed to do as long as they don't make comments the one the juror claims that he made. when i looked at the rules surrounding judicial conduct in tennessee, it was very clear that that could rise to misconduct and is grounds -- as a law professor told me, it is grounds for recusal. that doesn't appear to be happening so mckinney will go to trial with this judge who seems to have obvious biases against him. >> john: what would need to happen for this conviction to be overturned? >> well, since he is facing a new trial so shelby county jail, as if they're starting over now for the third time. he would have to be acq
