it was developed with philanthropic support from robert johnson, and the commonwealth fund, and is within the public domain. it is fully transparent and was developed from the court did efforts of a very highly skilled team of clinicians and researchers around the country. what it does is take claims and sort them out in a way that you can see, for every individual patient, for groups of patients, you can see what services they got that conformed to the protocol of care. that is the evidence-based standard of care for their condition. and what things took place that should not have taken place or that were dangerous or wasteful. in a state that we had done, my organization has been mounting these evaluations. the first large-scale reports will be coming out in california this year. calpers has commissioned an analysis of about 300,000 -- their fee-for-service beneficiaries. they are representing pg&e workers. they have also agreed to an analysis, about 100,000 of their beneficiaries. most of home if not all are in the bay area. the things i want to say to you is that this has to be done.

how well clinton johnson deal with the traumatized nation or robert kennedy? how wade johnson with the assumptions and a mind-set so different deal with civil rights? or the cuban missile crisis? that is one of the questions i tried to answer in the book "then everything changed" it is a trio of alternative histories that center on contemporary american politics. contemporary for some of us. they're all rooted in the common notion that the smallest west and turn of fate can produce radical consequences. it is written as a fictional narrative, not as nsa but dialogue and scenes but histories i have tried to ground and plausibility on the thought and believes it imposes and instincts of a player's has drawn from history and oral histories and several interviews with those who knew the players. and the common thread is it does not turn on a time but a nickel. there are theories that focus on geography, climate, natural resources, theology, ideolog y, a great leaders, but the smallest random access is one that we who like to see patterns are sometimes ignored. ther

robert longer, samantha wolf, toshira johnson, neal bardeck, brian webster. anyone who wishes to speak on behalf of the appellants, please step up. >> lawrence rosenfeld, 15-year resident of the inner sunset. on monday, april 18, at the at&t team came out to survey three sites in the inner sunset. the process consisted of asking us where we would like the boxes and telling us the reasons they were not satisfactory locations. for example, the challenges of trenching where there are many tracks. but nothing was said about how the fiber cable gets down the street. i am concerned that the city mandated 18 inch setbacks from the curb will be a problem for people trying to get children out of car seats or disabled persons into wheelchairs' or onto crutches. in a neighborhood that is short on parking, if there is a box that is blocking egress to your vehicle, you are in a world of hurt. there are enough issues like the parking set back that i think need to be handled from a central point of view, rather than leaving it to concerned residents and business owners in e

how would lyndon johnson have dealt with the traumatized nation? where would robert kennedy have gone? how would johnson with the assumption that the mind-set so different from that of john kennedy deal with civil rights? or the cuban missile crisis? that is one of the questions i tried to answer in this book called "then everything changed". this is a trio of alternative histories that center on contemporary american politics or contemporary for some of us. they are all rooted in a common notion that the smallest twist and turn of fate can produce radical consequences. they are not as a is. dialogue and imagined scenes. they are all histories i tried to ground in plausibility and based on the thoughts and beliefs and impulses and instinct of the players as drawn from history, biographies and several interviews with people. and the common thread is history doesn't turn on a dime. it turned on a nickel. there are theories about history that focus on geography, natural resources, theology, ideology but the smallest random acts of faith, human beings like to see pattern

of course, we had mccarthy challenge to johnson and then later robert carey.robert kennedy was on tet immediately. he used it as to denounce the war, the famous photograph general milan killing the guy, a terrorist who was an assassin in the streets of saigon. kennedy made a speech about that days later saying this is the moral indictment of the war, and who are these people we are supporting, and stuff like the. and actually in my book i go in depth into that, who are the people involved, why was that guy getting shot, and the aftermath of all that. the photo is black and white, but reality is not black and white. so, you know, that very famous pulitzer prize-winning photo, if you just look at on its face it tells one story but if you find that the real story, it's a lot more interesting. congress turned against the war at that time, or started to. after 74, and you had a very left wing democratic congress coming after nixon's resignation in august, and then the election in the fall, this big democratic majority, and it was that congress really cut the aid, a

johnson's dictionary had 43,000 and he also uses robert a. is worth who wrote the latin english dictionary and i can show you and example of a page of that dictionary. he is using those as his base and adding based on its own reading. and doing his own definition. he is 3 doing a lot of words in johnson. another side is a major achievement. he founds amherst college. he would make a good policy person on a cable tv news show talking about the evils of the administration. in 1820, he wants to establish yale, massachusetts because he is a congregational list and there is a religious war between the congregation and boston. so he says a college is needed to check the progress of errors so there can be progress in areas which are propagated in a cambridge. he doesn't like harvard. he writes a fund-raising letter and becomes president of the board of trustees and the original plan is to steal williams college. williams college is having a lot of financial problems. $3,000 from the endowment, they are in trouble and williams protects himself. it fo

johnson's dictionary had 43,000, the 1755 dictionary. he also uses robert ainsworth, who wrote a latin dictionary. so he is using those as his base, and then adding, based on his own reading, lots of new words. and then he is also doing his own definitions, and by the third he is doing closely on johnson, but then he is redoing a lot of the words in johnson. >> here's another side achievement, which would be for anyone else a major achievement. he helps to found amherst college. webster is always fulminating, and today he might make a good policy person on a cable tv news show, talking about the evils of the administration in 1820, he basically wants to establish a yale in massachusetts. because he is a congregationalist, and there's a religious that are new england between the congregationalists and unitarians in boston, and he says a college is needed, i love this phrase -- to check the progress of errors, as there can be progress in errors, which are propagated in cambridge. he doesn't like harvard. he becomes the profit theboard of trustees, and the ori

please stand by for a follow-up question from the johnson space center. >> hi, this is robert pearlman with a question for ron garan. the shuttle crew brought up with them lego sets as part of an educational outreach approach and i know katie coleman was "trained by her son unplugged with the expectation she would be building them. how are your lego building skills and what do hope kids watching and perhaps even building a long will take away from the experience? >> well, education outreach is a big part of what we do at nasa. just that we are in space and the amazing things very doing in space are very inspiring. one as a kid i was inspired by the space graham and as far as the legos go, think my lego skills are pretty good. but we have a lot different methods of education outreach. that is one of them and you know i think that is one of the reasons why we have the space station is to inspire the next generation. >> fill one more time with a question for one of the russian guys if i can, for commander borisenko. you have been up there for a while and i wonder what your impression of l

robert kennedy. he was assassinated and mccarthy didn't get the nomination, and he and johnson were responsible for thear, and i just could not get behind humphre yerks. richard said he had a plan to end the war, and that sounded good to me. i left home at 14 and my parents let me go to the seminary to be a priest, and i remember the bishop one day asked me to come over to do some yard work, and i think he had heard that i was out campaigning for nixon, and he wanted to ask me about why, you know, why are you doing that? he wanted to educate me about nixon's past and all this, and his name was bishop hicki, was the arch bishop in washington, d.c., and in the 1980s, a very outspoken advocate for war in central america and all of that, but it was like, it was one of those early encounters where somebody is trying to set me straight and, you know, of course then nixon was elected and did all these horrible things and continued the war and all of that, but, you know, obviously i never looked back, but i never wanted to admit that either, so i just have. >> what happened to the priesthood? >> what happened
