we have to keep in mind, this is a small city.ates are the population of the small city, and correctional officers are the police force for that small city. >> a specialized group of officers is responsible for monitoring gang activity. this is the investigative services unit or isu. >> i've been spending a lot of time challenging isu to get out and take the lead. be the spear tip out there to challenge gangsters and tell them, you can't do that on our yard. >> we're tasked to anything that affects gang activity. institutional security. in-prison drug trafficking. responding to disturbances. crime scene investigations. that prison gangs tend to cause the most problems here in the institution, so they're mainly our focus. >> we will be putting cuffs on? so we're going to put cuffs on him and then get him out. >> if you're working in prison, it's the best job to have. these guys are self-motivated. they are out the door handling something before i even get the chance to tell them to go do it. >> i'm the runt. i'm the baby. i'm the r

attendants struggle for control, what you'll never see, what you ever see is an airport the size of a small city spring from defense to offense in a blink. bolds move as word spreads. >> all right, guys, go ahead. it's on you. >> reporter: from pilot to tower, where intense eyes flick past the 1,500 camera feeds to find that corner of the runway known as the penalty box. there, while engines wind, guns approach, held by miami-dade cops. >> rear guard, go around. >> reporter: and since this is an international flight, customs and border patrol. >> put your hands up! put your hands on top of your head. >> reporter: all of us on the plane knew this was practice, but still. heards pound in moments like this, embarrassing mistakes can be made. and the fact that mia officials invited "nightline" to watch further proves they are pulling back the curtain down here in unprecedented ways. airport 24/7 is the first reality show given access to the sort of high and low drama that plays out here every day. as 100,000 personalities collide. cameras are romming when item persons flare. when drugs are found wel

san francisco is a small city geographically, so dense that it is logical that we aim for transit below ground or above ground to move quickly from one part of the city to another. we spent a lot of money trying to keep people from driving to treasure island, it make sense but you're not creating an alternative. we may not be able to get the funding, but we won't get it if we don't ask for it. the richmond district is undeserved. i ride the streetcar, absolutely packed. we can get enough people on the -- to bring them in and plugging up the street. we should be looking at another n judith, the sunset tunnel and market street to provide initial transit to the people these are some of my ideas; my question is where is the end goal here? we have to have an end goal, and then we can ask after that. >> that is a great question, also appropriate in the context of the next item that we will discuss. a useful way to try to explain the difference between having both a regional long-range test rotation plan as well as the county level san francisco transportation plan. we had to identify the prio

many are temporary migrants from rural areas and small cities.y contrast, the work force in and around shenyang tend to be well-organized permanent workers used to low productivity. and a large factor is the continuing managerial structure of the state-owned enterprises themselves. pannell: china is a leninist state still. people don't think of it that way, but it indeed is. virtually all of these people that are running... people that are making the decisions are done by communist party officials. narrator: companies like the shenyang number one machine tool works are run by communist party members. many factories have been plagued with corruption among top management. and all too often, entrenched local interests see foreign firms as unwanted competition that will upset the status quo. among state-owned enterprises, the shenyang machine tool works is doing better than most. today it is 60% state-owned and 40% privately owned. it recently provided equipment for the maglev railroad extension for e w shanai airport and it has begun repaying its wo

that's about, i'd say, 300 rooms running along the back side of this canyon, a little village, small city, something. artifacts everywhere. one of the walls had fallen out, revealing the floor that had been packed in there, hundreds of years of people using the same floor just pushing down the dirt so that there are pieces of woven -- of braided string sticking out of the floor everywhere and arrowheads and broken pottery and i realized when i came up against the stack of this trash pile i put my head against it and looked along it. i could see it was covered with hair. people in that room had been combing their hair for hundreds of years and it had been landing on the floor. and then new floors are built on top of that and new floors and i ran my hand across, just barely across, the front of this and i could feel the hair of people who had been there and i was there with a navajo guy that i know who just was creeped out by this. because there's a certain heavy taboo in navaho culture about death and he said after we left this cliff dwelling, he said, i need a ceremony. too much death. yo

. >> director of the office of small business with the city and county of san francisco. again, i also want to thank congresswoman pelosi for hosting this event, and with her staff, and her leadership around all the work she has done supporting small businesses. because she comes from san francisco, and, by our definition, is small business is a business with under 100 employees. that is almost 85% of all businesses in the city. because she is from here, she really understands what small businesses are about, and she articulates your needs in washington, d.c. in may 2008, san francisco opened the office of small business, under the leadership of gavin newsom, under the urging of our small business leaders. the mayor heard there was a need for the community to have a small office to help the needs of our small businesses in san francisco, help them understand and navigate the complex structure in getting a business opened within the city and county of san francisco. initially, primarily, we were going to be about helping you understand licensing and permitting requirements,

small business here in san francisco. two i have started and successful for 30 years. i wouldn't open another business in san francisco and i'm a city kid. it's the tax regulations and the regulations that break the backs of the small businesses. when they talk about tax receipt versus employee receipts and they say it's going to generate $40 million but cost them another $8 million, i can guarantee it's going to cost three times that much but what it does is drive businesses out of the city. i am against all tax increases period. >> thank you sir. mr. yee. >> >> so this answer to me is several folds. number one, we got make sure that the government is efficient, so first thing i will do is ask for an audit of the departments and programs and see what works and what doesn't work. if it doesn't work we will get rid of it. we need to support small businesses and i could go through several things why we should do that. they create 50% of the jobs in san francisco and we also need -- i would support giving business incentives like twitter and create the company here and create more jobs for san francisco. by increasing the jobs opportun

business person, had my own small business for the last ten years. believe me, i know what this city does and doesn't do for small business and it can definitely do more. finally i believe i'm the only president of a neighborhood and merchant organization up here and i have worked hard to turn around the lower haight from one where people said they wouldn't walk on my side of the street to one that is safe, thriving and inclusive and i want to do this for this entire district. i want a safe and thriving district and a voice at city hall for all. >> we have come to the time where members have been so generous with sharing their time cards, i don't know, does anybody else have a minute's worth of a final appeal to get off their chest? miss johnson? >> yes, i have two years' worth of history of voting on really difficult issues. these are people who were members of public, who found they needed help and found there was limited access to people in city hall. and you can look this up online. i'm not just pretending that i'm going to do this or just saying that i'm going to do. a lot of po

but you see just to give you a perspective of this city, it is, as i mentioned, a very small city, about one mile square, to be exact, but it is so densely populated. when you think about half of those people or so are stuck in their homes not able to go anywhere, it's a pretty scary situation there. now, of course, most people also don't have power. there are some who do, and for the lucky few, i know from neighbors and friends, that they are taking in anybody that they can to help out and a lot of people volunteering as well, but the good news is for the first time we're seeing the national guard arrive here and hopefully getting some much-needed assistance to this city of hoboken. matt? >> natalie, should also mention that people without power, often that means they are without heat as well, and the weather has taken a turn to the cold side. it's brisk. it's going to be brisk over the weekend, and that's going to make life even more miserable for the people trying to bundle up without heat. >> you speak of the weather, want to check in with al roker in atlantic city. parts of the boar

when we get the calls and trying to go in where we can to help people, but the payloader, we have small city payloaders can't fit down the city streets and that's the only vehicles we have. so we're begging and pleading and trying to get the national guard to get the national guard to get in those vehicles that we can get down and either deliver more food to people if they need it or evacuate them if they need to be evacuated. it's going to be another couple days. >> what response have you had from the national guard and have you been told to expect equipment that hasn't yet arrived? >> yeah. we've been -- we're hearing that some equipment is coming. e we just received word tonight. so extremely hopeful it comes tonight or first thing tomorrow morning so we can get moving with making sure that people are okay. extremely concerned about our residents who are stranded in their buildings right now and can't get to them. i'm just worried that we have live wires in the waters and the waters are completely contaminated. it's rain water mixed with sewage water. it's becoming more sewage water. >> j
