one of my favorite signs is this motorcycle shop sign. i think it's an old honda dream something like that up there flying. this is a sign out in mission for something called "light". i don't know what it is. there are lots of people hanging around. looks like a cultural center. i was going to ask you about the supplementary pieces on the building and the cigarette ads and what of that is allowed? >> generally the clutter is not allowed. we had cases in north beach and had to remove them and could be advertising cell phone companies and had the banners and that could be considered a general advertising sign depending how much they have and we have to look at that and the zoning and whether it's allowed. >> but that seems to add to the character of the neighborhood? what do you think? is it part of the character? >> yeah, i think about that a little bit, and it is like art to the degree that it asks you to think what the city values and there was a time when the city really valued entrepreneurial energy and with these type of stores and im

>> illuminated sign is same as neon sign? >> yeah and neon sign and illuminated and you could have something like this and light prosjected on the sign and that is indirectly illuminated. >> are there certain areas neon signs are prohibited? >> yeah and controls and residential sign and not allowed to have them. >> and (inaudible) and no signs. >> i can check the controls and it has its own for the north beach. there are certain a lawnessas in north beach whether you can relocate signs and if you can't reloathe a existing illuminated sign. >> we have an interesting array of signs here and signs that are both letters and become the whole store front facade and again i guess it's a challenge for the planning department and here is the sign and here is not sign. >> yeah and definitely when you have the graphics here that go along with the sign where do you draw the line? you have to look and see what is representative of the sign name and you would do that. >> the wasteland. a wonderful sign if you like that sort of thing. not e

tactile signing is when the person puts their hand on you and sign and you feel the sign instead of seeing it. for myself, i don't know if i'm 100% comfortable with that yet because i'm not sure if i'm ready to give up my visual language. narrator: up until now, we have seen young adults struggling with adaptations required by their decreasing vision. jelica is an adult who has reached a high level of adaptation. born in oaoatia, she immigrated to the united states with her parents when she was 4 years old. jelica was diagnosed with ushers when she was 19. she graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology and later received a master's degree in public health. she moved to seattle and is now the executive director of the deaf-blind service center.

want to become a part of it but you know at the same time when president obama signed actor last year we didn't see thousands of americans take to the streets the way that we're seeing in warsaw now so what do you think of that is it because we just didn't know enough about it and we see some more of the. type of momentum that's transferring over to europe or is it just kind of a different ballgame in europe where people actually go out and protest against you know a copyright agreement. i think what we're seeing now is sort of a watershed moment for american people realizing that. copyright law that was written a hundred years ago doesn't necessarily apply to the internet age you know there are organizations that have been working hard to sort of. make sure that the laws keeping up with technology organizations like the electronic frontier foundation which is based out of san francisco that has been. writing about and criticizing act you know almost since the beginning back since i think about two thousand and eight and the fact of the matter is no one really understood that these is

anyone votes on it so it's still in the early stages but i have to admit i think it's kind of a good sign and we see somebody in the world working to protect the rights of us users rather than just the companies to prove that somebody in the. you take the right to privacy seriously and frankly i wish that we would see some of those same measures put in place right here in the u.s. just think of all the bills that run through congress we've spoken about the protecting children from internet pornographers act which actually just lets local law enforcement access their data for a longer period of time by forcing i s p's to keep it for longer we've also seen some moves to make privacy rights on social media more restrictive if anything the right to online privacy here in america seems to be going in the opposite direction to take your rights away yesterday we distilled you about google's latest plan to migrate all of your personal data. the new policy reflects our efforts to create one beautifully simple experience it means that if you're signed in will treat you as a single user across all o

gas station signs. i understand new gas stations, of which i have not seen for many years -- is the opposite. we still need to know where there are, because they are hard to find. as much as i do not like freestanding signs, as much as i totally disagree with them being as tall as they are, it is the only way to find them. otherwise, you will miss them and as a greenhouse gases by circling the block because you missed the driveway, when they were wedged in between residential. whether this is anecdotal stuff, the intent is good, but the reality of the city is different, particularly coming in the area where this code changes are supposed to apply. regarding van ness corridor, night lighting, i am all for using reasonable energy code. but general street lighting on van ness is designed at the level, which if you would turn out current illumination of commercial, it would be below standard. the street is so dark that even the new residential buildings, because the way the lobbies are designed, do not give

swelling anger in poland over the country signing up without. to a global and piracy pact with thousands marching in hackers taking down key websites critics say the deal is as bad if not worse than america's planned laws which were shelved when the web johns like wikipedia and google went on a protest blackout. to shift key is in warsaw where the fear is that big corporations now have the power to take individual internet users offline as a whip. since tuesday more than ten thousand people all in all have hit the streets a long. pole in cities across the country in warsaw and other cities in towns protesting against this you don't. know the answer counterfeit trade agreement which was signed today by the people who are protesting they were holding banners down with the censorship and the internet believing that this agreement could in fact serious censorship on the internet and that many polish websites would be banned blocked they also had to say glued to their mouths symbolizing this way that their mouths will be shot by this new agreement an

treaty that is expected to be signed today what is essentially about them. well basically it is destined to protect the intellectual property in the countries which signed it now we know that several countries have already signed it including the united states canada today as far as we're understanding the. document has also been signed by poland and twenty six other european countries there are several more european states which are waiting to sign this document some experts in fact. expected that the european union would avert signing this document given all the criticism but now if there's no going back it has been signed the only stamp which is left this is the return. of this document by the country's parliaments and we are expecting a certainly it will be ratified in poland given that the ruling party the party of the current prime minister is also ruling in the parliament has a majority and we there's a very slim chance that this document would not be ratified in the post parliament it would take effect and we could be expecting more protests and it d

sign assessment. tell, everybody's signs are some shade of blue, mostly blue blazer, navy blue. jon huntsman has chosen wine. why, jon huntsman, why have you done this? wine? really? not even power red? come on. wine? couple things i want to point out here. the one thing that is in italics on the entire sign out of its many, many fonts, join, join, join. it's italicized. the capital "f" fight. why is it capitalized? at ricksantorum.com. santorum bold. fight. it's a little weird. the fight being a capitalized thing makes it seem like it's some sort of a, a proper noun fight. okay. while we're talking campaign signs, can you see me? there we go. while we're talking campaign signs, here -- [ honking ] there's a horn. i don't think that was for me. here's a very rare sight. it's a fred karger sign. the fred karger for president sign, the only sign in which a candidate has put his own face. go, fred. so jon huntsman, i question the color. rick santorum, i questioned the inexplicable italics and capitalizat

guy who will go out there with a sign and let people know. slow down, 25 mile per hour zone the speed camera, one hunter $50 fine. >> the d.c. police say that is fine. at the whole point is to get people to slow down, they say and tracey says he has done that. if you want to know where all nine of the new d.c. speed cameras are, log onto wjla.com. in northwest, horace holmes, abc 7 news. >> for a complete list of the new cameras, log onto wjla.com. >> 7 on your side with a warning about i hadpads. >> they say using the template on your lap means that you look down more, putting pressure on your joints, leading to 80 soldiers -- a key shoulders out and that injuries. there is chatter about the anticipated iphone 5. the reports that apple may release a new version this summer. apple had unveiled its newest iphone in previous summers, but that trend was broken when the apple iphone 4s debuted in october. it could include a bigger screen. still to come, nearly all of us have fallen for those airline ticket prices that end up being too good to be

there are many, many signs and many, many candidates. the best sign. sign right here. america needs buddy. inarguable and artfully presented. really in "the rachel maddow show" colors. that's the best sign. >> america needs a buddy. even if it's not in "the rachel maddow show" colors. as "the rachel maddow show's" executive producer bill wolf points out astutely standing in the median at sunset, you can't argue with the buddy message. buddy roemer now 0 for 18 when it comes to being asked to participate in nationally televised debates. a lot of americans have so far preferred buddies up to the likes of ron paul, rick santorum or michele bachmann over the four term u.s. congressman and former governor. on our way to the campaign stop in new hampshire today, i asked "the concord's" editor why it's been so tough for mr. roemer to get traction as a protest candidate. >> i will say, there's this woman who's one of my most regular letters to the editor writers. i hear from her all the time, all week long. she can't not write a letter to the editor. she's a d

actually, when signing the bill, the president issued a signing statement. the presidential expression of objection or interpretation which said in part "although this bill authorizes the government to detain americans indefinitely..." i'll let him finish. >> my administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of american citizens. >> jon: whoo! see, presidents can-- but he won't-- which is great since he'll always be president. (laughter) >> hi, jon, how are you? >> jon: i know that voice. >> it's me! gitmo! >> jon: oh, my god, gitmo! what are you doing here? (cheers and applause) >> hello! jon, let me ask you a question. who is your favorite boy band? >> jon: um, i guess i'm a new kids on the block kind of guy. but since they started a supergroup with the back street boys i'm not sure... wait, why do you care? >> gitmo wants to know what poster to hang in your cell! your. (laughter). >> jon: i get it. you think because of the new law anyone can be arrested for being a terrorist. i don't think that's going to happen, gitmo.

wealthy british sign on. time. on. the. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report on our. hi guys aside for tonight's tool time award and it goes once again to bank of america is he the state of arizona is accusing the of a pitting a fraud probe against the bank investigation was launched by the state in two thousand and ten to look at allegations that the bank had repeatedly deceived homeowners who are looking for mortgage modifications and bank of america is making as difficult as humanly possible for them to actually conduct this investigation is he back in june bloomberg reported that the they did not have the arizona attorney general's request to interview former bank employees and it looks like that railroading was just the tip of the iceberg it turns out they've decided to go with straight up payoffs let me explain how it was states are calling up the people that actually made complaints against the of a they were really getting ca

citizens and his justification when he signed this was quote ultimately i decided to sign this bill not only because of the critically important services it provides for our forces and their families and the national security programs it authorizes but also because the congress revised provisions i would otherwise have jeopardize the safety security and liberty of the american people so he is justified but he has said this a moment that he is very weary about some of the controversial things in the bells so. if there is such a controversial aspects of the bill why would he sign it and what are the greater implications of this. absolutely it's crazy he was force this law the apac law in congress you have a bunch of people in congress which are these spies by the overwhelming majority of the american population like congress' approval rate nowadays is what twelve ten twelve percent maximum they force this law to obama he signed it reluctantly with the kids here look we need the if something happens it's up to my discretion to apply this or not but the problem is the law is already signed

and treat stop signs like yield signs. it was wondering about any changes in law? >> it has been suggested recently that cyclist conditions should be improved. one was that cyclists should be able to ride on a red light. that was a discussion. i do not think that we will get that in denmark, because you have to change the legislation opinion that cyclists, they already have the rights they need. they have the same rights as cars, and that is enough. we don't have this for cars. >> we also have european regulation on that. i should do the picture of the 1-way roads. the cost that it brought with it. underneath the existing sign, you had to make another sign on the other part of the road. the also had to indicate you are a car driver on a one-way road but you may have cyclists on the other side. we said, let's pass the message that it is like that, with or without the extra sign, but we could not because it was prohibited by european regulations. we do have some constraints there. >> in the netherlands, you have a separate b

the signs are kind of a sign. up until very recently jon huntsman has not been a bad candidate in theory, but he has been a candidate with a bad campaign. and that may turn out to be a blessing for him. jon huntsman bad campaign has meant he has been so off the radar nobody has bothered to attack him. and now at the exact right moment, if not a little too late, new hampshire voters are taking notice of him and they are taking notice of him at a time that nobody has bothered to trash him. should also be noted that in the last few days, jon huntsman has started running a much better campaign, certainly a much more aggressive campaign. last week on this show we reported on the existence of this crazy racist ad attacking jon huntsman not from a candidates campaign but looked like supporters from ron paul. they called him the manchurian candidate. casts gross aspersians for adopting children from out of the country, it was gross, it almost seemed funny before it's not funny and gross again. also important to note that

you will have to sign out.f the precinct leader brings this up to him, make sure they sign the outside of the envelope. yes? >> [inaudible] >> what do you mean inside the bag? take all of your forms to your site manager. you are the only precinct person, keep all your stuff. the managers will have instructions about where to come to our headquarters. who's are these? thank you. take all of your forms to the site manager. the site manager collects everything. we'll ask the site managers to collect the signs so we can hopefully use them again in 2014. bring everything to our headquarters the next day. then we get to start working some more on all of that process and submitting it to the state party. any questions? >> there are often questions about the process. there is a process that goes through and i circulated a brief explanation. hopefully [inaudible] there might be a succinct explanation of the process of people understand how it works. it doesn't seem to be worked out, but perhaps it can be done and there

well this document called the courtesy trade agreement which has been signed by poland and many other countries other countries in fact including the united states. new zealand and others is the reason why tens of thousands of people are taking to the streets in poland is the reason why most of the governmental web sites in this country have been hijacked by the hacker groups including the anonymous hacker group which is well known across the world basically this agreement is all about protecting the intellectual property including movies books pharmaceuticals designer clothes and things like that but ordinary people fear that the big corporations will use it to police the web to take regular users offline so we've seen lots of protests in poland as i mentioned in the last several days we are also seeing protests being held today in the cities of new berlin and poison in bozeman in central poland we are expecting of course more protests to morrow on friday in warsaw so the people here are very unhappy with this decision with the decision of the polish government to sign this document

more european states which are waiting to sign this document some experts in fact. expected that the european union would avert signing this document giving all the criticism the only stamp which is left this is the return. of this document by the country's parliaments and we are expecting that certainly it will be ratified in poland given that the ruling party the party of the current prime minister is also ruling in the parliament has a majority there's a very slim chance that this document would not be ratified in the post parliament this whole situation here in poland comes just several days after this similar situations in the united states with hacker attacks of the anonymous group on got. mental web sites with. major websites like wikipedia and google partially obscured and blocking their websites in protest to the. document we could be seeing the same situation here in the in europe the same which is happening in the united states. but who selects yourself the reporting right there let's turn our attention to syria now where government forces are reportedly

which has been signed by the united states we saw thousands of people come out to the streets in poland to protest against it we want to hear from you do you think there's enough anti active momentum building to get president obama to allow congress to weigh in here on facebook twitter and you tube and you know his response just like me. or earlier this month we shared some disappointing news with you the congress passed and the president signed off on the national defense authorization act of two thousand and twelve a bill that raised concerns of civil libertarians across the country even the president himself originally and for expressed concern about the provisions of the legislation but it was mostly because it would have taken away some powers from the executive branch in law enforcement and handed over to the military so in the end he gave his john hancock approving the measure with the promise not to use it against u.s. citizens but i think that ron paul stated on the house floor last week sums up the fears of most people who oppose the n.d.a. . this is precisely the kind of degr

on new year's eve in the 1800-word signing statement, the president seemed to emphasize the point. administration will not authorize indefinitely military detention without trial of american citizens." while forcing reservations, mr. obama signed the act because it guarantees continued military funding and promised provisions would comply with the constitution, laws of war and other applicable law. >> human rights group among the president on the left say future president may apply the law differently adding the activists expansion of the executive power beyond what has been seen under the bush administration. bret? >> bret: thank you. >>> still ahead -- now that several states have new photo i.d.s voting laws, what happens next? but first, newt gingrich addresses the competition here in iowa. hout a helmet. i took some steep risks in my teens. i'd never ride without one now. and since my doctor prescribed lipitor, i won't go without it for my high cholesterol and my risk of heart attack. why kid myself? diet and exercise weren't lowering my cholesterol enough. now i'm eating healt

. >> by students in alabama hotel their stories in sign. now meet the teacher behind the video taking off. >> it's like reaching a gigantic span of audience. >> you'd think working at a front desk clerk at hotel wouldn't necessarily be a dangerous job. this video shows otherwise. i want to warn you guys it's pretty graphic. it's security footage from a hotel in sao paulo brazil. they get into a confrontation. the man in the hoodie is holding a revolver in his right hand. >> rather camly, weirdly calm. >> goes through the register taking out money. shortly of a you see the robber come back up the stairs. he's followed by a government police officer will the robber goes behind the counter and takes the clerk hostage. the officer has his gun drawn, the clerk steps out of the way and the officer takes a chance. fires once, twice, a third round of the clerk runs away. the robber is still barely moving but that man was killed. >> that was brave of that cop to take the shot with the receptionist right next to the robber. >> got to say that cop wai

any signs that the two sides are approaching a deal? >> no signs at all really. i'm told they are still locked in talks some three or four hours after that began. that possibly give some indication of the seriousness of the issue. up until the stocks, every sign has been going in the opposite direction. first, sudan deciding it would confiscate some of south sudan's oil. saddam responded by announcing a shutdown of production, which has already started to happen, -- sudan responded by announcing a shutdown of production, which are restarted to happen. this summit is being held with the canyon and ethiopian -- the kenyan and ethiopian presidents, >> how real is the possibility of conflict over this, james. the south has said they're putting troops on maximum alert. wheezing skirmishes near the border area. how real is this threat? >> by some reckonings, they are almost at work already. both side has accused the other of supporting rebel groups on their territory. there have been clashes along the border, as you say. what possible is an escalation of that. another

threat and he went forward and decided to insert into the signing a signing statement a promise a promise that isn't ministration won't allow this to apply to american citizens without trial first so what happened out there in the media world well people just started rejoicing obama defender started blogging tweeting saying see obama does said that it doesn't apply to american citizens so it's all ok now i don't even know where to start in terms of what a foolish response that is all around but let's just make a few things very clear here no matter what obama does or doesn't do the a definite military military detention including of american citizens well that part is already enshrined into law he signed the damn bill so even if his administration chooses not to interpret it in that way well then guess what that doesn't stop any future presidents from using it in the exact language that was written it so thanks a lot obama you might promise to be the good guy in this scenario but you're still signed it which means it is now law which means that however someone chooses to use it in the fut
