[applause] >> thank you, joe. i am happy to introduce bob. bob pollin is one of the leading economists in the united states. heterodox economists are the best kind. they are the ones that think outside the narrow box of orthodox economics. bob is a professor of economics at the university of massachusetts and codirector and co-founder of the political economy research institute at umass, a very important research institute backed does excellent academic scholarship with a public purpose. bob's books include a number of looks, contours of descent on the u.s. economy and in 2003, two books on the living wage, 1998 book of the living wage, building a fair economy and a reasonably measure of fairness, the economics of the living wage and his most recent book is

are no longer apprehensive of pulling a stalk of broccoli and00 muching on it or watching a bee pollinating, but rather are inspired by what they're learning in their outside classroom. the san francisco community challenge grant program has made it possible for us to exceed our expectations in just a few short years, and this april my son noah and his sister leila will be joined by argon's 4 36 other students to create a community mural that celebrates not only the history ~, but also the very richness of our rich mopped community, our neighborhood that we call home. we're deeply indebted to our many, many allies and partners, including supervisor mar who believes the public school program deserves not only quality education in the classroom, but an enriching learning and play environment that inspires them every day. thank you very much. and i'd now like to introduce an inspiring leader and a partner from our school principal, tammy [speaker not understood]. >> supervisor mar and the san francisco board of supervisors, [speaker not understood] argon elementary, it is a tremendous honor to

having to pollinate all of those trees in a short amount of time brings up the question who'really busierthis timof year, the farmers or the bee >> uh, you know, i'd say they're busier than me 'cause they work 7 days a week. and i do, too, but--but, uhthey never--that's why i have to work 7 days a week, 'cause they never take a day off, so--ha ha. >> and while it's a busy time of the year for both bees and farmers,ll will agree it's worth it in the end. more than 3 1/2 million dollars in income and thousands of jobs are geneted from these orchards, orchards that end up feeding the nation and world and will no doubt end up on a dinner table near you sometime soon. for "california country", i'm tracy sellers. and in case you're curious, almond, plum, citrus, and apple plants tend to have the white petals, while nectarine, peach, and apricot plants tend to have the pink petals. there you go. ha ha. coming up next, we're going to a one-of-a-kind spa. day of walking arod, it's nice to just relax a little bit. and, if i could speak for them, our four-legged friends would probably agree with me,

but the pollination was great this year, so we have olives pretty uniformly in the--throughout the canopy. so we sell--the majority of our olives go to bell-carter. um, they've been great for the industry, and they produce a great, great product. >> california's weather is perfect for olives, and some of these trees can grow for several hundred years. but you may be surprised to know that harvesting in california is largely done by hand. flash back more than 100 years to 1912. back then, olives were harvested the very same way, by hand. that's when two brothers, arthur and henry bell, decided to buy a small olive grove near fresno. they even carried on harvesting and selling olives through the great depression. no one realized it back then, but the brothers were planting the seeds for a multi-million-dollar business lasting at least 4 generations. >> just to give you an example, bell-carter's first canning operation was in berkeley, california in 1930. the company had 12 employees, and i think their annual--annually they canned about 7,000 cases of olives. come up to today's standards. we

it makes a thing which is when a plant is overly pollinated, it releases a kind of glue so that the honeyto heal wounds. it's actually an antiseptic. these animals are amazing. the worker honey bee secretes -- yes -- a type of grease from its brain and that creates the queen. so when they want a queen, the worker bees create a liquid from their mind, jimmy -- >> jimmy: it is amazing. >> and they feed it to the baby bees and that becomes a queen. you talk about a sophisticated community. and we kill them. meanwhile, we as humans, we can't organize the fact that we're having sex too much. the fact that we don't have -- >> jimmy: are you having sex too much? >> i am, actually. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: let's show a clip here. i want to ask you about this. >> hopefully we can get close enough to this rattlesnake to show you just how fast they can strike. yeah! that was a strike. yeah! look at that. a little bit of venom. that's quite a lot of venom, actually. not a dry bite. and venom, it's kind of sticky. ends up feeling a little bit like super glue. not only that, but u

bob pollin is one of the leading economists in the united states. economists are the best kind, the ones that think outside of the narrow box of orthodox economics. bob is a professor of economics at the university of massachusetts and co-director. a very important research institute and excellent academic partnership with a purpose. bob's books include a number of books and tours of dissent, best descent of the u.s. economy. the living wage, the building a fare economy. and then more recently, a measure of fairness, the economics of the living wage and minimum wages. and the most recent book is the topic for tonight, back to full employment. i just want to add that the work of a living wage has been very, very important. he's been probably the leading researcher on this important issue. he's published numerous papers and reports in addition to these books. he struggled to cities across the country to speak about the living wage and has testified before many city councils who were considering living wage proposals and i think this is an important co

that's an example of the cross-pollination i think we'll see more of going forward sphwhrar lisa, this is an odd question, are you seeing an aspirational shift? the goal used to be to get yourself on tv. are you seeing contrent creativitiors coming specifically to stay online? >> yeah, when we found maker, we wanted beworng th content creators who really didn't see it as a stepping stone but saw it more as a place to really find a home and really build an engaged, long-term audience. essentially they're building their own distribution, and that's a very powerful thing that we want the content creators to take very seriously. we work with a lot of people who do value what they're creating online. not that they won't be doing traditional thiks or can, but it's something where you don't want to give up on your audience, and you want to make sure you keep building that. and i think we're starting to see a lot of mainseam slility or taenlt want to come online and start building their online presence. we signed ?oop dog last year, and that's been an exciting partnership glr are there snuff s

d'marco, who's trying to tell us that we're not supposed to be cross pollinating in these various marketso that soft spoken mortgage broker sitting there next to you. fred, why do you guys need these low down payment loans again? this is a market where the growth is still with the first-time buyer, with the people in need of a loan right now. this is not a mature market by any means, where you have to start reaching for the less qualified buyers. >> the underwriters today are still the mortgage gnat zinazis? i'm sorry. we get ridiculous, ridiculous conditions on loans, no matter if they're 40% down or 5% down. a couple of things. number one, the low down payments are necessary for the first-time buyers so we can have the second-time buyers moving up, moving up, moving up, so the billionaires can have their houses, okay? dodd frank has been imposed. so we have a 43% back-end ratio limit. we have a 640 minimum credit score on fha. and to get a 95% conventional on fannie and freddie deals, you have to have 680. you can get lpmi that's built in, and wow, it's great, so people can have a lower

to be the most highly evolved among plants because of their special relationship they have with pollinatorsth this orchid he actually theorized there was a moth with a tongue long enough to reach that nectar. 40 years later moth was discovered. it's only got a wing span of four or five inches. this is a fun reference. it has the longest tongue to body ratio than any organism on thissest. >> reporter: their beauty is spectacular. >> orchids have a longstands history of being a very miss yearous and exotic bloom and i think it's the legend and lore that's built its reputation. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," i'm elaine quijano the bronx, new york. >> anthony, what does the orchid look like that cost $290,000? >> i was going to say, this is not the $290,000 orchid. as a killer of plants this would terrorize me. >> you should take this home to your wife and say, thank you for helping out. >> thanks. >>> we're looking at beauty all over the world. the pantheon was built more than 1,800 years ago. it remain a glorjous symbol of the roman empire today. charlie takes us there today on "cbs thi

we are seeing the deaths of 40 to 50% of bee hives needed to pollinate many of the country's fruits and fewer bees equals smaller harvests which equals higher food prices that hits all of us. the environmental protection agency sena team of experts to a key bee growing area, san joaquin, california. we'll see waving comes from their discussions about the pesticides. there are other theories, viruses and drought conditions in dryer states, more studies, more scientific looking at this. in the meanwhile this will affect all of us if they don't solve it. jon: colony collapse disorder they call it, right? let the bees live don't step on them. >> reporter: we need as much honey as possible in the world. jenna: we certainly do. it's a fact. some new concerns after a massive land lied in washington state. dozens turn out to hear what local officials are tkaog to stabilize this area. more than 30 homes evacuated, at least one destroyed. now homeowners are really worried about looting because no one is left in the neighborhood. dan springer has the latest in washington. are they any closer to fi

reason number one--because lemon trees are self-pollinating. they actually don't need male trees to reproduce. and reason number 2--because karen decided early on to name each tree after a lady that had affected her life for the better. and now it's karen that is affecting other ladies and gentlemen for the better by informing them about her beloved lemons, and that includes local chefs who pop by for a visit. >> i adore meyers, but i also thought since they're dwarfs, they were especially appropriate for me. hs] >> they don't get too big. i try to pick no lemon before its time, so when it gets to be-- >> yeah, how do you know when it's ready? >> the color. >> ok. >> you're looking for the-- the deepest orange color. it's a cross between a mandarin orange and a lemon. >> karen is just a--a wonderful, wonderful person. she has such a kind soul, and, uh, she treats these lemons like they're each individual, like they're one of her children. and it's so wonderful to have somebody that appreciates that so much, what comes fro-from the earth. and we
