organizing the 21st century is organizing a 20th century, organizing the 15th century, it's century permits are getting people together to go deal with it. >> and what is the hardest is cross class organizing which up until relatively recently we have not seen a lot of that. i actually think that it is essential. at one time one in every 20 americans was the president of the local voluntary association the 50s. some were voluntary but you have basically 5 percent of all people have some power with the local club and we also have a lot higher membership. and i membership. and i think that we are feeling the absence of that union membership. some of the core fights we are having our them i think what you see is hedge funders and a few people with a lot of money and a lot of power taking on public education because they actually want to get rid of the last batches of union power. >> i wonder what you think about the current union structure. twenty years worth of distraction. and i wonder what you think of the union organizing we see now where you have these three or four huge groups in dc. the

so last you to talk about what is going on with the organizing lately. over the last few years i could name those that have gone nation -- national media attention like the national vote rights in north carolina, of ferguson in the organizing across the country, student-led efforts about campus sexual assaults evened students organizing here locally for:so why do we need that? what does it needed to confront and why is it a strategy? >> i will get back to your. [laughter] but breasts like to wal-mart's rears the labor protest in a way we have not seen 40 or 50 years. as far as organizing that is great but it is all internet based. with all started with twitter. now in over 170 cities in the country from taking action imbibe random people that our super responsive whenever anything goes on. is you can mobilize this in a half an hour which we could on say that a few years ago. so give 3-d internet to end a day. that is the and the reason i have a career so half of my vernacular is with memes. get used to be of those who knew what it was with debris would n

the other piece is we work with the 150 organizations that we work with we identified the nascent organizations and people in the neighborhoods that are doing great work the candy lady the grand mom, the folks who have been doing programs out of their own pockets, the goodness of their hearts we bring them together so they're supporting even other versus competing against each other. we're really building a spirit of partnership and a spirit of community. that's the communities on the rise. >> that makes perfect sense because in our day -- you mentioned about growing up and all the obstacles that people growing up. it used to be one person can make a difference or one organization. you're really talking about maybe several organizations helping a family. >> yes. absolutely. that speaks to another theme that we use. this theme resonates in the boys and girls of color. the theme is together we thrive. it takes all of us working together to support everyone in a community, even if we're targeting a specific population like young men of color, whether they're black males or latino males or immigran

and rights organization which is an organization for the preservations of western european civilization. >> today, duke blames zionism for america's ills. >> i don't believe european americans control the country any more. >> the most well known racist, he calls himself a reformed klansman. but he longs for a past closer to his 1950s childhood? >> this is not the america i grew up in. i love america. i will fight, you know, to my last breath to save america and i think we can do. >> we spoke to the former kkk leader in washington, d.c.? >> well, i think it's not unfair to say that when the steve scalise story broke, a lot of people thought, well, david duke, there is a name i haven't heard in a while. let's talk a little bit about what happened. i think if it wasn't the big of a new congress with an enlargedvan majority, if representative scalise wasn't the third-rank can iran in the leadership, this might have sort of passed everyone's notice. did you think the congressman was telling the truth when he said he had no idea what the organization was or your connection with it? >> well, i

organizations. when they fail, their actions have consequences. their actions were soundly rejected. their fellow members of the greek community, by the broader student body, by the broader campus, it is obviously brought up an important discussion. it is important to realize that fraternities and sororities have a great deal of diversity on most campuses and in most chapters. it is an outstanding opportunity for students to grow as leaders and to learn about folks from other walks of life to live together and work together in a way that will benefit them in a number of facets going on in life. host: do you have numbers on that diversity? guest: i don't have individual diversity numbers, because the groups themselves don't typically keep that sort of information. what i was going to tell you there was a pullout last fall by gallup, the first real, meaningful poll data, 30,000 college students surveyed, what it demonstrated was that at five different facets of life joining a fraternity or sorority ha

with jobs for justice we're a coalition of 28 organizations our organizations represent nurses and teachers and seniors, the disabled youth, immigrant retail workers many, many kind ofs of people at our recently planning retreat we get together and we talk about economic justice but which we explicit talk about the wal-mart second street strike or the worker bill of rights but housing over and over again, we talked about housing for each of the organizations that is a tape issue on a person level i've lived in the city over 10 years and recently moved to the east bay i can't return to the city i'm not alone and in oakland i faced rents going up my rent went up a couple of hundreds dollars over the past year so what's happening what we did or do do it effects the whole region it is a housing crisis for all across the region and that's why i urge you to support this ordinance we need the data have a factual accurate conversation about what was happening in the city and i'll add that people are getting evicted now homeless now a crisis now we can't afford any delay thank you. >> hello commissi

do you believe that the national organization has done enough? >> as far as doing enough, like i said, no. there definitely needs to be a teaching aspect of this. punishment, okay. it will go so far. but if we don't teach and hone in on the issue of why it was wrong, it's not okay. it's not enough. >> naomi, appreciate you being on and mikel. thank you. >>> watch "360" on dvr whenever you want. coming up next kicking out the students by whatever they say. was it justified this time? can the university do that? what about the first amendment, freedom of speech. also, hillary clinton ending suspense about why she used a private e-mail account the entire time she was secretary of state. will it end the controversy? financial noise financial noise financial noise i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. some questions can't wait until morning. so i'm one of many nurses at cigna with answers anytime, day or night. i

after your organization. so, you've employ mentded best practices. you've raised the bar pretty high. now you do information sharing. the theory of information sharing is this. it's nothing particularly complicated but right now, the bad guys can try the same attack against 1,000 companies. and if they're not picky you know, they'll hit ten of those companies successfully. and that's enough for them. actually, right now, they can probably hit you know, 200 out of 1,000 they try to be successful. the cost for them is extraordinarily low and they have a really high return on investment. the idea of information sharing is they try 1,000 companies. the first one they succeed in breaking into, learn something. in fact, maybe even the first one that just successfully defends against them learns something, says be on the lookout for this activity shares that. the other 999 companies receive the information and are able to protect themselves. suddenly, the cost of the bad guy is reversed. what used to be a really sca

the personality of the organization.m building a championship team, and we are going to be seen as one of the best in the nation. that is our task at this point. brian lamb: we have some video of you addressing the baltimore police officer beating of a suspect. this happened in june of 2014? anthony batts: it came to light in the summer but it happened two or three months prior. >> on june 14, on the 500 block, there was an incident that took place. much like the public, i was shocked, outraged, and disgusted from what i saw by an employee of the baltimore police department. nothing that i saw on that video is defensible. more importantly, it is unacceptable and will not be tolerated within this organization. for two years, we have been reforming this organization. this will not be tolerated and will be addressed in the strongest manner possible. this conduct has no place in policing or in the baltimore police department. brian lamb: for the record, who was white and who was black in that? what happens to the policeman?

but some of the organic carbon falls from the upper ocean making a slow rain of dead organisms and organically accumulate in the cold depths. here, because of the slow circulation of the deep ocean, the carbon remains out of contact with the atmosphere for a thousand or more years. chisholm: if there were no phytoplankton and if the pump didn't exist and the oceans all mixed top to bottom, and all of that co2 in the deep ocean equilibrated with the atmosphere, the concentration of co2 in the atmosphere would more than double. so that just gives you an idea of how much the deep ocean plays a role in the global-carbon inventory and how important the phytoplankton are in keeping that pumped -- pumping downward to keep that co2 in the deep part of the ocean. narrator: by regulating carbon dioxide and producing oxygen phytoplankton play an essential role in maintaining a habitable planet. although the role of phytoplankton in the world's oceans have been studied intensively, surprisingly, the most abundant variety of phytoplankton was only recently discovered. prochlorococcus. chisholm: it's in

it's how music is organized in time. it divides time into an organized series of moments periods, durations. without rhythm, we wouldn't know how to perform the series of tones. rhythm you can consider fluctuations or pulsations in time. but forgetting the whole technical thing, rhythm is feeling and it's motion, and rhythm hits you at your core-- at your physical core. rhythm is probably the most physical element of music. (narrator) for much of the world's music, the foundation of rhythm is a steady reoccurring pattern or pulse. pulse in music often evokes a physical response, moving us to dance, march, sway, or tap our feet. pulse is the regular occurrence of rhythm in time, unemphasized one after another-- [clapping] undivided. in many instances, we want to organize that pulse. in western music, we'll use an accent on every two. for example, one, two, one, two, one, two. if you watch a marching band you'll probably see a lot of duple time or time divided by twos or fours. if you watch the way they move the way they s

kennedy and the organization that he had in philadelphia in that election. so for bill green to go from democrat to independent is a big step for him, and i think it signals that he wants to keep his options open either for mayor or perhaps city council. >> i think it's a good point. i think that sam katz is definitely in. i wish he'd run as a republican. he was an excellent candidate in the past, knows how to raise money, knows what's going on in the city. so i think he's definitely gonna be in. >> i think it all depends on who wins the democratic primary, and, frankly, it may come down to something -- well, not something. it'd be down to race. if anthony williams wins i expect, you know, could you see a bill green or a sam katz in? and if kenney wins, you probably don't see necessarily a katz race. >> i don't know. there could be another independent that comes in. if kenney wins, there could be people who say, "wow, we need someone who's not kenney to come in. maybe he's too close to one group or another." >> well, with sam katz, you have to wonder. sam ha

and it's actually organized by another product stewardship organization for -- that has focused in the past on rechargeable batteries and it's call to recycle. you might have seen them. both of those organizations have done plans and submitted them to king county. speaker: king county? speaker: king county, washington. speaker: so these groups have a presence in the bay area already? speaker: yes. speaker: so then the city having collected the contact information and notified the pharmaceutical companies all over the world, is the city in a position then to suggest to the pharmaceutical companies who are located miles away, how they might take a step toward implementing this or do these potential coalition organizations reach out to those companies? speaker: it could be either. i know both king county and alameda county posted the names and contact information on their websites and they receive many calls as a result of the letters. speaker: so legally it's okay for the city -- if you send a notice to zip a flap drug company in ziric and we say we have an ordinance and you're responsib

i would be expecting the entire organization to come up. and i just want to also note with a little sadness that janelle white was going to be here today but she called our office this morning and she received annie conviction notice she's been a leader but this is an epidemic in our city and region as we move our nonprofit workers to eviction and we're just not meeting the cost of living here and i want to thank you for continuing to do this work and recognizing how important it is for men and women throughout the region thank you for being here thank you. >> [applause]. >> thank you supervisor kim. on behalf of of the community and staff i wanted to express appreciation to the commission and members of the board of supervisors. we have provided crisis services to survivors of the to survivors. we can envision a future without violence and i want to take this time to invite you to all attend the walk against rape that celebrates survival and invites the community to take a stand towards sexual violence. i hope to see you all once again. th

organizers are expecting a million people here. this is very clearly the kirchner supporter's response to a march on the 18 of february by those who were calling for justice for the dead prosecutor, 400,000 people gathered at that time. this is a much larger event seen as kind of the opening shot for the upcoming october presidential elections in which miskirchner cannot run but clearly her political party can. >> that's lucia newman doing a great job there in among the crowds. thank you. >> during a rally in caracas president maduro said anyone planning to oh visit the country will need visas. >> the reform party is widely expect to retain party and form another pronate toe coalition. around quarter of estonia's population is russian speaking. political analysts warned moscow could use the ukraine example and foment in stability in the country. volunteers have delivered much-needed humanitarian aid to a town in eastern ukraine, not far from the front line. 90% of the residents fled the fighting. those who remain are too old or too

to organize. it simply has a fair set of rules in place, fair to businesses, fair to employees, fair to labor fair to everybody that allows a decision to be made regarding organizing in the workplace. but what's even more important about the effort mr. heck talked about is it allows workers and business owners to participate in the bigger pie. that's what we all want. by re-authorizing the export-import bank, we're creating jobs in our country and the export sector and that means that owners of the companies will do well. it means that employees of the companies will do well. it means the management will do well. it means the line workers will do well so let's participate in a growing pie by passing a clean re-authorization of the export-import bank rather than trying to divide the pie, to make more away from working families in the mill class and give more to -- middle class and give more to big businesses. mr. speaker, i ask my colleagues to vote no and defeat the previous question, i urge a no

why it's 75 25 and less entering the organization is getting more if you can show me something that states that i'll be happy - >> i mean, i think that my suggestion is that maybe continue the item a little bit give the chance for the staff and the organizations to put their heads together and in terms of of the conservation core they've been around longer and the programs developed in some of the features their costs are higher i don't know the answer we're all wondering why the different delineation but more in depth discussions we're not going to solve it here we're dedicated and have a passion around if it self-timeline wise to continue it and get more in depth answers and sexuality evaluating it you, you know talk about having a high school diploma to have people go through a through b or m those are the differences we don't know the answer we don't want to debate that so said what the costs are and the what this differential we'll need to think about obviously we want most of the money to say go to the youth how many youth do you want to serve those are balances. >> i hope my

one is organizations were coming to us saying they want to be part of a information sharing organization but we don't fit in the sectors where we have the information sharing analysis centers. that is the traditional sector model. they said look, we are a law firm and there is no real critical structure for law firm but we face cyber threats. what do we join? who isn't there an organization for us? why on the 16 critical infrastructures? that is one of the first realization. trust comes in all shapes and sizes and our job as the government is to encourage the trust groups, help them share information with each other and help them share information so we can connect them so an intrusion over here shares the information that helps everybody in in inoculate themselves. we need to work beyond this model and accept other organizations. geographically based, folks coming together in different cities are being asked why wouldn't we recognize them and we said you are right, we should recognize you. this says we will work with you. you decide what shape you want to take we will work with you. the

and so we can identify the kinds of organisms that were present in the system, and those organisms tell us something about the environmental history of the surface of the planet. narrator: some of the compounds pearson looks for are indicators of the existence of eukaryotes or organisms with a nucleus, the ancient relatives of today's animals and plants. to gain access to these compounds pearson extracts fats, or lipids, from the rock sample. once the lipids are extracted, they are run through a mass spectrometer, which indicates what kinds of compounds are in the sample. pearson: so, when we look at a mixed sample and identify what kinds of compounds we have in the sample, sometimes we see a compound with a mass spectrum like this and this is the mass spectrum of a sterol. the sterol is related to the compound cholesterol, which is something we're familiar with. and any time we see a sterol we interpret that as meaning there was a eukaryote in the sample. and this is significant because we're able to then look for molecular fossils or biomarkers that record eukaryotes before eukaryotes

. >> thank you for the organizers is humbling to be here. i hope to continue my relationship with "the nation" that is where my real investigative journalism is paired with commentary and is known as of liberal institution for many reasons but that does not prevent it without corruption on bad system issues in a structurally it fits into the society. viewing as left wing that has not prevented to take on the left the there are a number of stories that are rejected from "the nation" and a number of stories took a leading role of investigating the left i did some blogging last summer on the neutrality -- net neutrality and some of the largest civil-rights establishments to a lot of money from comcast and verizon then they went to the fcc and said we cannot have neutrality this is something "the nation" published even my employers fantastic investigation are looking over their corporate financing. >> i need to pause for a second to say the nation's magazine publishes this then sends them out to mess with very powerful people who actually like "

supervisors made the commitment according to the resolution because many of the 45ird working organization provide in some of the critical serviced and that they've been chronically under contemplated over the year from 2008 to 9 the nonprofit organization received the funding from the san francisco budget & finance committee despite absorbing the high costs and in many cases not on there since 2007 or 8 for the city's nonprofits organizations because the funding amazed to a reduction for those nonprofits negatively impacting our city's safety net and the finance that don't think them and the workers that serve those organizations for the nonprofit for profit contractors in the city they receive annually increases i could to the cip or increases of 3 percent of more this is about parity for the nonprofits compared to the for profit contractors with the city that receive those annual increases until 2013, the nonprofit contractors had not received a cost of doing business since 2007 or 8 it's about parity and entity for our nonprofit organizations in the fiscal year 2014-2015 our budget inc

industry and of organizations around the world. i heard that the best analogy i heard was it being said cybersecurity frame work is the rosetta stone for cyber security. that is what it intended to do. mirroring the other sets of standards that have been done and making it so we can read them across the sector have coverage, and are moving forward in different areas. that is what we wanted and that is where we ended up. it is due to groups like u.s. telecom so i thank you. we are having real progress in understanding where we need to get to and growth that needs to happen. another space the administration spent a lot of time and effort is on incident response. we heard the government needs to participate better and give the tools for industry to be able to respond to threats. we have continued to work with many sectors in this space. the financial sector worked to respond to threats and we continue to move them forward. one other area that was just announced last month is the cyber threat intelligence integration center. a lot of d

there's a lot of diversity in the organization that is not just about that. background in terms of that. >> but some diversity in terms of color of skin might not be a bad idea? >> absolutely. if you look at chapters across the country or look now, they would look at not be able to -- how can you say we're not diverse? >> we're going to do that now. thank you, bran don. joining me now is mig gel sooix, president of the delta. and naomi, codirector of ou unheard. let's start with you michaela. when you first saw this video, i'm sure you were horrified who as someone who belongs to the fraternity. >> it was upsetting, extremely disturbing to see members of the organization to have that belief and chant as a part of their traditions or whatever. it was extremely disturbing and really sad to see. >> and how many african-american members are at your fraternity right now? >> we have about a 42 man chapter. there's about four of us that are african-american. we just graduated a couple of years ago. we've had a few african-american members at our chapter. our school

including organizations like u.s. telecom and others that are here today and a lot of that awareness will not only be focused nationally but thinking about the international audience. one of the top priorities will be to develop and share information that can advance use of the framework and other risk-management such as how illustrations on how organizations of different sizes, tides and capabilities are using and employing the framework the ability of these organizations to look over each other's shoulder and understand a practices they are putting into place is extremely beneficial. and development material, how all the framework can be aligned with business processes including the key issue of making sure we can integrate cybersecurity and risk-management with a broader way in which organizations think about race, something our stakeholders that was important and there will be a lot more. in addition to that if you think about what the framework effort was all about identifying best practices that can be used to c

however, these organizations now have direct connections to mexican drug trafficking organizations to distribute heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and other drugs throughout the country. this is the new face of organized crime. the violence perpetrated by these groups harms communities across the united states and dea is uniquely positioned to target and dismantle the distribution cells and traffic organizations with whom they conspire. of notable concern is the alarming level of heroin use and abuse in this country and increases in heroin-related deaths. after years of declining use, the availability and abuse of heroin is now increasing, especially among younger americans. this is due in part to the increased production of heroin in mexico, even as colombian production has declined. and in 2013, 8,257 people died of a heroin overdose, nearly tripling since 2010. a contributing factor to increasing demand for heroin is prescription opioid abuse. prescription drug abuse is a nationwide epidemic. overall, 43,982 people have died of a drug overdose in the united states in 2003

this cost of doing business whether it goes to the workers or the organizations to be here they play an important role in supporting the very people who have nothing they are their advocates and organization ers and they provide them information so they know how to file their complaints to the police department and if you call the hotline to say you have been sexually assaulted they come and these folks do all of the things that we're talking about and we're trying to juggle and balance versus all of these other needs we have in the city budget and we have 22 $22 million that that that we weren't expecting that came into our budget this year. we made cuts on top of cuts and it really really hurt and supplementals were always a tough conversation they were all needed but couldn't fulfill them and we finally have this opportunity to do this and it should have happened in june we just never have a complete picture of our fiscal revenue at that time that's a structural issue we deal with every year and i hope we don't have another hearing. i don't think we need to talk about that anymore

any number of zionist organizations, the jewish agency elected jewish representative organization and how stein, the world zionist organization all these entities were more active and played seminole roles in the creation of israel. i want to really very clinically assess the commissions were political violence played a role. in that sense where it played a role is in hastening the process making it less tenable for britain to remain in control it is interesting. the 1st six chapters cover from 1917 to 1939. the next 1939 to 1945. the final ten chapters 1945 to 1947 because i wanted to zero in on what british officials were saying in palestine and, of course, senior british policy decision-makers debating and discussing in london. there you find again, it cuts against the conventional wisdom that many people bridle or bristle with but looking at the documents amazingly even though britain had granted india its independence in the beginning of 1947 still wanted to retain palestine because of its strategic value. they were they were in the process of completing negotiations with egypt f

that is one organization doing that. we are aware of them and we have referrals back and forth to many organizations helping warriors, we actually are not connected to their command as an organization and none of the money comes back to us. any money donated would be a separate entity and goes to support the work they do. host: how many local chapters out there? guest: we don't have local chapters. we are one single national operation and we thought it was important not to have chapters so the quality of our service did not differ and we could really provide the types of services we needed with a very professional and national oversight of the type of service that is being provided on the ground. we have over 20 offices around the country and overseas, in fact. we have staff at log still regional medical center, the first stopping point the wounded take when they come back from recovery host:. you are based where? guest: in jacksonville, for the. host: good morning. you are with steve nardizzi of the wounded warrior proj

other underground organizations. so it was an effective i think and era before 20 for some satellite news coverage in harnessing the power of the media to communicate his message beyond palestine and use that pressure for the british. winston churchill, he is a lifelong zionist, always styled himself as one of the jews closest friends. where he figures prominently in the book is that in 1943 he embarked on a very daring plan to reverse the white paper and to partition palestine into separate jewish and arab states. uncountable as it is for some people, and the british archives it's in the papers. literally on the eve of the u.s. presidential election in november 1944, churchill had proposed the next big three meeting be in jerusalem, not in tehran where it is plain to partition palestine would've been discussed and then two days after the u.s. presidential election is when the stern gang shot to death lord moyne churchill's oldest friend and member of the british cabinet. and churchill never really, his support for z

it is organic soil. what it has inside of it poop, and warm castings. >> usually when you say fertilizer. >> yes. >> it is all organic. >> if you are growing herbs and vegetables in your garden you don't want ten californias. i say all organic is only way to go. it is healthier. healthier for you. putting up a system like this takes very little time a few minutes. >> okay. i can take this one. >> organic soil. toss tonight there. toss it in there. >> you pull on a herb. this happens to be a onion type of a plan pop tonight there and put more soil around it. and that is it. it will take you a few minutes to plant this up. let's say you have a giant wall that is 12 feet long. imagine if you are getting one square foot filled with just 50 plants each. most gardens only have 50 plants or less. you are planting as much as a traditional flat garden on a wall. many farms right here the same thing. >> i'm watching, i have a small space that i would like to have a growing wall, how much would this cost. >> someth
