how did you handle the organization that a corrective action plan? >> corrective action is a plan if an organization has more than one finding in the fiscal year where they have asked them to provide a corrective action plan to describe by whatever time they are going to correct that. there is a series of deadlines. if an organization fails to meet those standards then we have a couple of steps including meetings with the board of directors to go above the e d and staff level and speak directly to the board of directors. to my knowledge, the ones i have been involved with the couple organizations has disallowed from receiving grants because they were not meeting the standards. this is to enforce the standards and cities in that way to helping them come into compliance. >> thank you very much. >> okay. thank you miss stevens. civil grand jury, you can take 5 minutes or 1 minute to highlight everything and tie it together. >> we applaud the work of miss stevenson and their organization and the mayor's office in so far as the things that were discussed.

asian law caucus and it was a wonderful organization. we have some members from the asian caucus here. where are you? we have some of our youth leaders from asian caucus that have done work to support immigration reform. we have so many young people that came to the i see at a young age from a convolute process don't have the same access because of their jobs in the country. they've been courageus about how they can access higher education. and i want to recognize hospitality house jamming i didn't changing is our executive director. when people ask me how we're addressing homelessness in the center it's by hospitality house. one that people go to and they have an arts center. by supporting those organizations it's going to be a wonderful partnership. and seeing people how to golf is a wonderful wonderful thing thank you. again and i want to present this accomodation on the part of the board of supervisors to the d g in our start up incubator where you're beginning our start up we what to thank you for this opportunity for the ribbon cut

this is going to keep artist and the artist organization here. it was great to work with the california community loan funds and the office of economic development to make this a reality. over the past couple of year with hard work and procuring money and property owners we were able to procure these sites to ensure the arts remain here permanently. this is a huge effort. it's not just the elected officials that get to stay here. it's the main market community that holds this together. whether it's the collaborative that continues to advocates for public safety and all of you that make this a viable and dynamic and exciting community and diverse. that's the challenge here. we are trying to revitalize this area and still remain diversity. it's not going to happen easy. there is going to be a lot of challenges. but what's exciting is that everyone here from the mayor's office is committed to making that the reality here on market street. thank you very much.

always buy organic and the clean 15, which are foods that you can kind of skip the organic because they have a stronger protective, like a ban ban na which has such a big peel, keeps those pesticides out, so if you're working on an economy of scale, you know, go with organic with the ones that have the highest levels of pesticides. our website has a link to those tips so i can show you where that would be. and now we're going to pop into the living room and talk about flame retardants which are an important issue for any firefighters who are working in the field because it's those burns that are going to create exposures, so as folks in the home are thinking about that, once they found that frequent hand washing can reduce the actual levels of these flame retardants because we touch them, they get on our hands, they're in household dusts and make their way into our bodies, so washing them off our hands can reduce exposures, using a vak coupe with a hepa filter and a big move that could come down the pike is going down to legacy fabrics like wool and fabric that don't require the use of

so, with general customer service the organization scored very high. with communications they scored a little bit lower and so there are a lot of neutral responses. one of the questions was are you satisfied with sbc's communications and a number of people indicated they do not regularly receive information from the sbc, office of small business and the small business assistance center. so, that's very easily fixable. and the chart figure 5, basically we asked about whether they received the newsletters. and a number of people said they know other people in my organization receives the newsletters, but i don't receive it. i haven't received it for awhile. we're going to recommend refreshing the e-mail list and make sure people receive the e-mail newsletters. that's a quick summary of the nedo responses. if you go to page 12, this is where the city department feedback begins. and, again, looking at figure 8 at the bottom of the page on page 12, you see that the understanding -- here the department felt that osb had higher understanding than the nedos of

they are looking for organizations, where do they go to find options that organizations they trust? >> you can go to our website at maryland nonprofits.org. we have a list of all the organization that are certified. that's a third party review that you can trust. there are also other programs that you can look for such as the bbb, you can look on guide star.org to view an organization's tax returns. >> reporter: and you think this is really important because if you are going to give your money away you shouldn't just think with your heart but with your head. you have to make a sensible decision to make sure its being well used. >> that's right. >> if you are making a small donation that's probably a low risk transaction. if you are getting a call at your home about a significant donation, i would suggest learning more about the organization and not just give over the phone. ask them to send you some information in the mail and make sure they have the probably disclosures. >> all right. you can go to website to learn more and the bbb to get all the information you need. thank you for

it's a very difficult issue and fortunately for us terrorist organizations and organized crime organization throughout the world have not formed the leeches that we thought they might. thankfully. and in terms of cybercrime, some of the groups perpetrating cybercrime, they haven't come to leaders, the gangsters are old-fashioned to their autocratic. some cases just plain stupid when it comes to the potential use of the global financial network, stock markets, other means other than violence. so that's the interesting thing about them. as long as they're stuck in the world of trying to resort to the knuckle dragging, racketeering methods that are tried and true for the last 75 years in organized crime, that's a benefit for us. as we used to say, as i used to say in the late '90s, when john gotti and kevin mitnick get together, look out. so in other words, a leading gangster or organized crime group, if they team up with level aa hackers and then use their ability to penetrate computer networks, database systems as spike mentioned, when they are able to do that and then commit extortion again

called the organized crime operation. s group. case officers from the cia, i had about 15, at any given time 15 to 20 fbi agents and analysts assigned there full-time. it was very successful. with regard to human trafficking internationally, we did two renditions in that program for major international human smugglers working together. 9/11 happens. two months after 9/11 ocog no longer exists. it's gone because we have to address counterterrorism. so everybody go over here and do this because this is the top priority of the government. then something happens, wait a minute, what about this? we need to keep at the policymaker level and this requires advocacy at the law enforcement and intel level to maintain a balanced approach to this. and that's exactly true, the focus on organized crime has to be everything from the bank robberies and cigarette smuggling to the public corruption that requires it to a variety of other criminal activity, but we need to maintain a balance. and this idea that policymakers that we can take a

a thing of the past, well, as far as organ transport. >> ia human organ has never been kept alive outsidef the human body until this machine became a clinical reality. >> reporter: the head of u la's heart and lung transplant program. >> to say that instead of having my heart on ice, i want it to be warm and beating. >> for some of his patients like 44-year-old sandra aguilar, this is a second chance at life. ♪ >> she suffers from a debilita debilitating position, and has been waiting for a heart since last december. [ speaking spanish ] >> sandra decided to participate in a study, which is designed to compare the outcome of patients who receive hearts through the organ care system against patients who get their hearts transported on ice. >> the patients you were talking to, to participate in this trial, how have they responded to that? >> once they fully understand the concept, why don't you guys come up with this sooner? >> to date, eight out of ten available donor hearts never make it to a patient in need for a variety of factors, including distance between hospitals. this would preser

it organized by general subject area, the budget and the capitol budget and you also have it organized by the month and the year and i find it extremely good to have it in one place and the question that i had was similar to commissioner loftus was there any reports or anything was eliminated if they were not, that is fine, that is just organizing what we already have and does not change anything and it just makes it more clear for all of us, and that makes a lot of sense to me. and it is a reminder of the responsibilities that we have as a commission to over see all of this and there is a lot of aspects in the department to look over, you know, even on the consent calendar and i appreciate everything that goes on before us and to discuss them and it is good to have it on the perspective here and then the last question was that i just had about the appendix b. and excuse me, exhibit b, and i was just trying to follow what this was for? >> and it does, that is a little, that is an oddty and those two requirements really only come up one every ten years and even though they don't come on

it's called the organ care system, or... heart in a box. it works by hooking up the heart to this machine. it pumps it full of warm blood, and a formula containing a proprietary mix of nutrients. >> it's warm, >> it's warm, it's beating... it's functioning, it's just functioning as if it's in your body. >> doctors are also seeing promising results, using the organ care system on other organs, such as lungs. >> for more information on this, and other techknow stories. visit our website at aljazeera.com/techknow don't miss techknow, sundays 7:30et / 4:30pt on al jazeera america >> fishkill correctional facility - 70 miles north of new york city. to address the needs of its growing elderly prison population, new york built the nation's first unit for the cognitively impaired. all these inmates have dementia. their average age is 63 and many have alzheimers. we've joined the founder and director of the unit, dr. edward sottile, as he does his rounds. fault lines is the first television crew to be allowed here.

how one of america's favorite fruits is green gold for organized crime. our digital producer, raj is here, and nobody wants to support a criminal exercise, but most of the avocados we buy from mexico do just that. >> people love their guacamole. here's an example: >> let's talk about what consumers can do, and we see it all over twitter today. i love avocados, and i don't want to support criminals of what do i do? >> i love my guacamole in the super bowl. >> cocaine, heroin and now avocados, criminals are looking for new ways to make money. in the past, they turned to limes, but in the western state they are finding that money does grow on trees. avocados are more lucrative than marijuana and that has the cartel tightening its grip. they're skimming profits in avocado growers, a move criticized by a rival cartel. pash [ speaking spanish ] >> the citizens are starting to take matters into their own hands, forming militia groups to protect local growers, and the military has also stepped in, but it has little affect on farming communities being affected by

organized crime is making a lot of money out of it. i think that legalization, per se, is not the solution to organized crime. i think corruption, we need to tackle corruption. >> and one more comment, i think that, you know, the problem is already created that organized crime, particularly in latin american countries has been able to make billions of dollars trafficking marijuana and other other drugs and other contraband materials. i don't know how successful we'd be, and i agree with liz about the success that might or might not happen from legal idahoing marijuana. the example used is when alcohol was legal in the united states, you did not have involvement in any great way, did gaming, prostitution, normal knuckle dragging racketeering things, but not large scale threats they became. when prohibition goes into effect, it's a bonanza. they make billions. it creates the al capones and luckies and the rest of the united states getting involved in the importation or production of the illegal alcohol and the speak easies and the networ

we connect them with peer-run organizations, hopefully in their state. and another thing we do is we help consumer, state-sorry-statewide, consumer-run programs to develop their advocacy and to develop their non-profit skills and to just become stronger advocates within their states. so that's- so, public educators. that, too, yeah. i mean, the functions run the gamut, yeah. but it's just basically, you know, providing the technical assistance to these groups to be the most effective advocates that they can in their states. very good. and that's a big piece of what we do. and when we come back, i want to touch more on the peer-to-peer coaching opportunities where people can get trained and become peer-to-peer support folks. we'll be right back.

organizing was really a way of engagement that i found wonderful so there was a. in flagstaff in the same skopec sort of frame the town like steph arizona and picks were subject to an opportunity to create a new scary it which would really have changed the very nature of that now and the culture around it and there were tons of community voices involved except for the two native american tribes for whom those mountains were sacred and i was living on the reservation when i was like wait a minute no no one is engaging them no one is even inviting them to this conversation and so i did and that began. that began my life really in my career vietnam was about learning about activism and on the reservation i actually became an activist and true since the word by tracking down riding around in a jeep with a navajo interpreter and a hopi interpreter. gauging people through a sound system like you use in a parade inviting them to join us for a public hearing i showed up after school at three thirty in the afternoon at the post office into the city mayor's own and there we
