one team has two organizations.re 17 organizations and 16 teams. >> what do the teams actually do? >> well, people like elliott go to each of the teams. they have a coach and they get trained and they learn how to go out and have a conversation with somebody and try to elicit from them what it is that makes the organization so special to them and get to the point of saying, well, would you consider leaving a legacy to your organization. >> it's interesting. a matter of truth, this was one of the teams and elliott was our coach and he's been successful with us on lots of different levels. one of the things that surprised us and is common, we didn't realize how many people were already on their own thinking about leaving a gift and and or already had and had not told us. they actually valued the value of being anonymous and were assuming it would be a surprise to us once we found out. given the opportunity, saying, oh, you know what? we've actually done this. >> people think of fund raising and sales. in a legacy prog

it's an opportunity for people that have been making donations to organizations and supporting organizations with their time and financial resources for years. it's an opportunity for us to think beyond their life to help the organization maintain its viability and to the years to come. so we have -- trying to make it easy to make sure that the organizations live and survive in the years to come. >> most of the time i think most organizations think of giving as something that you do in your own lifetime because you're grateful that you were helped by an organization. if you belonged to a synagogue and nourished by that synagogue, then you give a donation to that synagogue each year in an annual campaign. why is it important to think about giving beyond one's own lifetime? >> gifts like these are as much and exchange of value as they are an exchange of money. a planned gift is one that one may look at what they may given to an organization. an annual gift is one that someone makes available at any given time or new initiative or emergency program or capital program. a legacy gift is an opport

its roots as a private intelligence organization strong. and i'm not being dispense we've been in any manner whatsoever. now though julian songe would not disclose how we got a hold the e-mails stratfor admitted that in december they had a security breach and anonymous took credit at the time they publish names emails and credit card numbers of stratfor subscribers so what can we gather so far from the e-mails that have been released and what we think of this new perhaps a partnership between wiki leaks and anonymous joining me to discuss this kevin gusto list civil liberties blogger at firedoglake kevin thanks so much for joining us tonight and i guess first of all i just want to get your opinion on the way in which we queue leaks is rolling this out again they're working with media organizations twenty five media organizations and quite noticeably absent are the guardian the new york times the washington post those organizations who they worked with in the past and who i guess you could say they had a falling out with yes the bigger organ

and the way the organization conducts itself. in all honesty is what brings me back here today. i do want to say thank you for having me and let's get to it. >> no softballs with this gentlemen. who has the first question? >> wow. >> okay. well, i'm with you until 4:00. or until you ask plea to leave. >> thank you for being with us, while i've been involved in mpl. >> thank you for being with us, while i've been involved ilea t. >> thank you for being with us, while i've been involved iea to. >> thank you for being with us, while i've been involved i to l. >> thank you for being with us, while i've been involved in elections for a long time one way or the other i'm new to the business of running an election though. i have to say i had not paid much attention to the provisions in the constitution that kind of share power on elections between the congress and the states. but i do feels as this proposed resolution has, that it's the state's responsibility and that many states delegate it to local governments as well or work with loc

you want to think organic. >> organic flowers aren't they all organic? >> no, no. flowers are like have 50% more pesticides on them than is allowed on food. no, they are not organic. especially the kinds that are grown down in south america. colombia and ecuador produce 80% of the flowers that are sold here in the u.s. >> you're kidding? >> no, not kidding. >> even if california. >> where everything grow. >> california is -- there are more options here in california. but yeah, a lot of it. and these are actually shipped over on refrigerated airplanes. >> i did read. that that stunned me. it's not really shocking. it's just -- i hadn't thought about it. >> you don't think about it. once you know, 80% of flowers and many of those are roses. roses are not in season right now in california. they are in season in southern hemisphere so they will truck them in. >> -- >> tulips. this is why i brought these. that's one thing that's good about these. another is they were grown in california. so that's another good thing these particular ones i went on- line and checked. the

funded organization are going to hopefully tomorrow we should understand the. the opposition that some of the opposition to these groups is legit in some. the suspicion is legit and people really question whether in a police like you tip for example where there is so much suspicion of the united states just advice because in the last thirty years or so what do you make of that's what i was that's what i was going to say robert this suspicion has been going on for decades what do you think is different about this incident now do you think that some of these people that are kind of seeking refuge as we speak in the u.s. embassy in cairo do you think they did something that really made people mad this time or is there just sort of a shift in how egyptian authorities are dealing with them you know i think of course i don't know exactly what the organization needs to do judging from press reports to me what the military. musicians for cynical purpose namely the egyptian military regime is trying to tar the. you know democracy and human rights and you community as an

the qaeda institute is a credo organizations -- cato institute is a credo organization. they belong to the libertarian creed. everything they do fits into that. it emphasizes the virtues of libertarianism, and all of its work fits into that template. when you move that close to having a doctorand doctrine, you're going to sacrifice something in it the research that you do. intellectual work cannot have too much of a hierarchy where work has to be filtered and filtered before it can come out. i think that cato, heritage those that have much more of a sense of philosophical purpose i think they have achieved some very important things. i think preaching to the choir is important. i think showing a research fits into a particular set of views that are organized in the political world is extremely valuable. i think -- i know that they have enormous -- the competition was very useful for us. it increased our marketing were substantially. i do not think we will ever marketings as well as heritage does but i also do not think heritage will ever create as original arresting rese

>> i think it's clear the organization is in turmoil.d people quitting in principal, so i think there's been lots of confusion, and we're really hoping if they can get a better governing board in place, and the great men and women can get involved and if they stand up and say we're not going to let you do this with all of us watching i think they have a real chance to get back on track. >> how does the attacks on planned parenthood come out at the engineer of this week? >> i think it's very good to see a fight where planned parenthood is attacked all the time and this time the people attacking planned parenthood they were the political idiologs. planned parenthood need millions of us to help fund their healthcare and also to stand by them. >> becky bond. thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> and now as promised a brief special comment on the resignation of karen handel. from susan g. koman foundation for the cure. in the time until ms. handle's exist this morning, komen's only actions has been a mealy mouthed partial reversal. a

an all-volunteer run organization. thank you to the panel of judges for this incredible honor. really, really just surprised and humbled by it. and with that said, i share this award with my fellow nominees, andrew and nikki. you guys are amazing. please continue to do everything that you're doing right now. because you guys are an inspiration to us all at hyphen. somebody very important that i would like to thank as well, melissa hung who was sitting right over there, melissa, can you wave? [applause] she's actually the founder of hyphen magazine eight years ago, if melissa did not have the vision to create our very own asian-american publication, hyphen would not be here today. so thank you so much for that and for the opportunity to serve. and of course vincent pan from chinese affirmative action for giving us a space to do all of our work. there was a time when we were floating around. and carrying out boxes of magazines from garages to garages. our readers, donors and volunteers. just one thing that i would like t

i will also ask ramon and those who work with this organization and are proud of this organization to stand up here in front with brother myers as he addresses the commission. will you do that for me, please? >> ladies and gentlemen, i consider this an honor, a pleasure. one of the things i would like to bring out that nobody has brought out so far is there is a gentleman by the name of gavin newsom. you guys, ladies and gentlemen, had enough foresight, even though there was almost a depression, but not quite -- you guys moved forward and created jobs for young men and young women in the city of san francisco and the county of san francisco, in alameda and san mateo. to me, that is the most important thing we have here, is jobs, especially for the young men and young women. it does not make any difference what union it is. one of the things i would like to say it is i was doing a job over in calaveras county, a tunnel job. we went down the bottom of the tunnel, the shaft of a tunnel. this young man comes up to me and says, "do you remember me?" it is hard to miss a white man with a re

people who live in the community and our members of our organization, but also other labor organizations. because public utility stretches far and wide. we go all the way up. there are a lot of other local labor organizations that are impacted by this work. i want to commend not just my colleagues, but also the general manager, the assistant general managers, and all the general managers for working seamlessly with our organization, and taking time out of their day to recognize that people like ron myers are people we should promote. if we do not promote those folks, nobody will recognize those efforts. those are the people that fail every single time to promote themselves, because they are promoting the interest of the community and workers we represent. i would like to take a personal privilege. i would like them -- and am honored to introduce my brother, roscoe david, and to ask our vice-president and regional manager to step up to the front and say a few things about ron. [applause] >> mr. chairman, commissioners -- a privilege and honor to be here today with you, as you recognize a

i will also ask ramon and those who work with this organization and are proud of this organization top here in front with brother myers

things obviously change and people switch within organizations so if we see that an organization is not checking in we double back with them to find out what's going on and make sure we can have them as part of it. the emergency preparedness group also works on a drill every year, and we just had our drill this last friday in partnership with the san francisco fire department, the department of emergency management, first 72 hours. we had a drill so the community members that live near the wharf as well as the businesses and employees could come by and learn more about what they can do both personally and professional to prepare. i have to say the nert, and i see shelly sitting up here and aircrafta, the actual -- aircrafta the actual nert is part of it. if you think of a hotel as a small city in and of itself, if you have have an emergency response team and find people to be prepared has helped us. as has been mentioned, we have trained in partnership with the fire department, our hotels have hosted the trainings that have resulted in over 400 people being trained. we do feel like ther

because they will add for information that is probably organic. let me just say this, i want to stop here, what should we be supporting? i feel it's important to stop asking these questions as americans or those representing the american state, what we should be doing is a question that is very difficult and a problem and sometimes you know, sometimes depending on who is asking and where they are standing is hypocritical to ask, not out of academics but when our state officials are saying what should we be doing in the region? are you serious? i skipped a word, what should we be doing? we should westbound stopping dictat dictatorships in the region. it's not a puzzle. we talk about pushing for a path of democracy while we are supporting the most extreme regimes in the region, we are supporting the state of israel with our own tax dollars what is this talk of what we should be doing, we should not support dictatorships and not crush a uprising against them. is this something that exists in the strat -- we are interested in compliance. if the compla

this is a coalition of 20 member organizations. organizations including development, housing services, and advocacy. a lot of people had to peel out, it was a long afternoon. there was a tremendous amount of data presented. i want to thank the comptroller's office for trying to package it all. this is the kind of stuff that we deal with on a regular basis. to digest it in a presentation is tough. it was inclusive. there are a few things i want to emphasize. we are not trying to get into an us and them. when you use the term middle class, it is a very evocative term. we are not concerned about looking at other housing categories above the low and moderate. it is important to think of housing as a continuum. it is hard to argue that at the lower and that folks have fewer options. they have less room for failure. we tend to focus their. you move up the spectrum and there are needs. we would like you to approach this as not a menu, but they continue on. there was also an important thing about funding. we lost $50 million this year. we

>>reporter: so the formation of friends of the exposition organ. vick among others collected the sight sounds and memory of the instrument in the hope of hearing it live some day. though that will take some doing. the exposition organ does still exist beneath the grass of the civic center plaza. it's downstairs behind locked doors in the old brook hall room filled with the unused, unread, unresearched and tucked away in the deepest corner. opportunity heard. >> tallest pipe is 37 feat long and weighs 700 pounds. it is one large pipe among 10,000 of them. 40 tons of organ strewn around the floor. piece of local music history unclaimed by any city department cloaked in dust and darkness. last time this organ played in public in san francisco it was 1989. just before the earthquake here. the instrument life in limbo would began as san francisco burned. inside the civic auditorium that was the organ home after the exposition a wall collapse collapsed. >> pretty much covering all the the exposed pipe with a foot of plaster and debris. >>reporter: restor

you were not a lowly clerk in that organization. you know darn good and well what's going on within that organization. you know darn good and well can you tell me who you think should have been at that meeting. and i'm just asking you to be honest with us and do it. >> again, to the -- i just have to keep coming back to i could only imagine -- >> mr. roseman, can you give me any ideas? obviously you needed to be replaced by this guy. but maybe you have a little bit better knowledge how that organization works. >> i think clearly i wasn't there, but in mr. stockman's defense, it sounds like he wasn't at the meeting. but after the fact i'm sure there were some direction that was given to individuals. want the wasn't there. i can't respond whether he knows what action he would have been given. >> who do you think would have been in attendance? >> certainly, if it were a very concerning meeting like you're suggesting, i would expect mr. corzine to be there. i would have expected mr. avalo to be there and maybe a few other members of the

komen organization organization, does her resume keep her in politics?l ask the president of the national organization of women what this all means, next. >>> you know, ed, look five years from now my prediction the susan g. komen foundation won't exist or will be reduced to say between 10 and 25% of the current size. >> that was terry o'neill, president of the national organization of women on this program just last week, speaking about the susan g. komen foundation initial decision to cut off funding to planned parenthood. in a moment, terry will join us again. now the woman at the center of the controversy, komen's vice president public policy, karen handle, has resigned. handle was thought to be a key player in the komen's decision to stop funding breast exams for low income women. the public's outrage led komen to reverse the decision. today after submitting a letter of resignation, handle went straight to fox news. >> i clearly acknowledge that i was involved in the process but to suggest that i had the sole authority is just absurd. >> handle's st

i am an organizer, and i am a lifelong resident of the excelsior district and a longtime organizer in mission district. you know, i am wholeheartedly support on the planning commission. i think a lot of folks that came before me expressed her talent, her spectrum of abilities and experience. me, as an organizer, focus on the eastern side of the city. along with our allies, we forward you a letter on behalf of a dozen organizations representing the east side, from a filipino committees to latin base to mean it published amenities, african-american, the working class of the city. we really wanted to make sure that there is a place there that on the planning commission, many times our issues have fallen on deaf ears. port christina olague, having to hold up that way in hold the line on that. it has always been successful, and these are huge, huge shoes to fill. i thing cindy wu is going to do an excellent, excellent job. and i had the personal experience last year of working alongside her and changing some of the practices of the planning department in how they engage communities of colo

which is the national democratic institute this is these are organizations that were formed at the same time as the national now for democracy in one thousand nine hundred eighty four with that goal precisely in promoting us for us agenda particularly political agenda in countries abroad so i mean if you look at who they are who sits on their boards who's managing their operations you'll see that i mean these are the high level players of the political and economic elite of the united states government there's no question about it and i do think it's important you mentioned some of the historical underpins of this going back to the eighty's i do want to get more perspective on all of this so let's go to a place where this all began yugoslavia and eva we will bring you right back into the conversation in just a minute but ten years ago an uprising in serbia overthrew president slobodan milosevic with the careful guidance and financial support of the united states today some of the very same activist train opposition groups around the around the world exporting sort of how to lessons and

but should organizations like the a.c.l.u. take it one step further writing the new york times this monday mark canis is one of the authors of an op ed the push for human rights organizations to start using drones for surveillance specifically using the example of syria they argue that if human rights organizations can spy on evil they show it to now we have to ask should they join me to discuss it is mark canis founder of the genocide intervention network and scott horton contributing editor on legal and national security matters for harper's magazine and i want to thank you both for joining us tonight and mark i'm to start with you just start by telling us why it is that you think that human rights organizations should use throughout. human rights organizations to use people to monitor human rights violations we either give visas and do it with the permission of governments were sometimes they sneak in and go in there without governments knowing in burma for example lots of people are being killed there we've got human right

a women's health organization, it is a political anti-women organization.rap their brains around that. >> who is going to ask them to reverse that? how would that take place? >> i don't think it is going to be reversed. if you look at what miss brinker has said, it is clear she has dug her heels in and she's going to keep this going. 26 senators led by frank lautenberg and patty murray have signed a letter protesting this decision by the common foundation with 22 members of the house had signed a letter as of this afternoon. so there is a building backlash. i mean, one of the things you have to wonder is why would corporations like yoplait and dell computers and new balance shoes, all these corporations that are listed on komen's annual report as in the million dollar club, they're going to have to move away from komen. they're not interested in funding a -- an organization that strictly has a political anti-women's health agenda like komen does now. so, you know, you have to think that what -- what miss brinker has actually done has been really to lead thi

would be best at that an organization whose primary focus is the rights advocacy of the rights organizations do something that doesn't involve the right or not. simply posing them. >> host: i think that they are >> host: there is a readily available set of terms or language in which one to let these debates play out. one thing that occurred to me in reading your book, you assert the idea i hope i characterize it quickly that there are times when human rights advocacy sort of beryls forward without taking into account the full range of policy considerations and equities, and you give an example on the work of the women's rights in the city of san francisco and the decision to invest in the improved street lighting to help safeguard women who are vulnerable to violence, walking home at night, and you see this sort of obvious policy good for the affected women, but can we be sure that the discussion took into account the trade-off here. it meant fewer resources upload playgrounds and how can we be sure the proper way those equities took place and i think what you're suggesting is if the human r

organizations like the world health organization or the international atomic energy agency were to be so wrong headed to extend membership. those are organizations that we really have a big stake in. so the policy is one we agree with. we obviously followed legislation. but as we have done in many situations over the years, providing some national security waiver would allow us to make case by case decisions. >> don't you -- aren't you afraid that this is going to send a signal to the united nations, to the whole world, that our threats don't mean anything? i mean, we warned unesco not to take this action. you warned them personally. and for us, less than a year later to come back and say, well, never mind, we're going to fund you again, it just seems like we're just telling the world that our words don't mean anything. >> you know, i think senator that, you know, all of these issues that we're confronted with have different, you know, different factors. certainly we made it abundantly clear that we would stand in the way at the security council -- a solution with israel. we do worry

organizations like yours. sure to come. >>ry don't know if i can -- i don't know if i can address the corridor issue. >> hi. my name is lynn. i am proud to say i have been a member of the nert program since 1994 when i graduated with my husband. at the time it cost us $25 each and it was the best investment we have ever made. and i'm so proud that it is free to all of our city residents as well as the people that work here. i am proud to say that our nert program as part of the certificate programs in the bay area has been an open dialogue with each other. we know core, we know panda. we know the people at berkeley. we continue to learn. i think we have already had this whole community approach since 1989 and we just continue to grow it. which brings me to my biggest question which is that we have reached 20,000 people in san francisco through word of mouth. 20,000 people is an excellent force multiplier but when you look at a population that grows to more than a million during the day, when you have tourists
