they are not included in our statistical results. the results are the final results which are shown on slide nine. we have the 2014 results and as well as the 2012 to compare to see the differences. on page 10, key audit findings. we have summed up the sample. the errors. the first column on the claim sample. the bottom is on the targeted two in sample errors and two out of sample errors and key note agree to 7 of the 11 errors identified in the 2012 claim audit in the four audit > i would like you to requote the rates. >> that would be a dollar point. >> there were lower scores on overall accuracy and payment accuracy? >> yes. >> renÉ marcus united health care. >> can you identify your position? >> i'm the senior external audit team. so i wanted to highlight the errors identified and agreed to during the audits conducts by ann hut. hewitt. from the statistical audit there were 11 errors identified by ann hewitt. united care agreed to seven. overpayment were 1700, those have all been corrected and reimbursed correctly. the total targ

the statistics are astonishing. we're not talking bat mine -- about a minority of the population. >> guest: you brought up, we can deny it, because we have a bad control group in science. if you have done it's hundred times and not gotten in a wreck you say, 100% of the time if haven't gotten in a wreck, therefore i won't get in a wreck. but it's a terrible control group because 101, or in in reggie's case, 31, two guys are dead. >> host: we're dealing with a one-ton slot machine on a rainy highway. and we'll pause right there and be back in a minute for more talk on attention and driving and distraction with matt richtel. >> host: we have been talking about the deadly wandering, fantastic new book, and i'd like to return to the science of attention, because as many scientists have told me, attention is really the human faculty. it decides -- where we pay attention determines our life. and this miniseries of decision wes make and don't make about our attention, weaves the fabric of our lives. so, tell me more about

>> in official statistics, there does not seem to be much of a general trend. if anything, the proportions in the official statistics may have decreased slightly. as i talk about in my presentation, i believe that is a vast underestimate. i would not look to the data published in those sources for evidence of a trend or lack thereof. in the study that i conducted that looks at eta from 1990 99 - data from 1999-2008, in that data, there was not evidence of an increasing or decreasing trend in the proportion of the crashes that involved drowsiness. i would note that, in recent years, the raw number of crashes and deaths nationwide has decreased and that is a good thing. i do not believe there is any evidence based on the best available data that the problem is increasing or decreasing as a share of all crashes. if we look or use conservative estimates that we have across any of the more solid studies of the proportion of crashes that nvolved drowsy drivers and apply that to 2012 data, we estimate over 5000 were killed in crashes that involved a drowsy driver. >>

if these statistics are likely to be underreported. studies have shown that a person has to be asleep on average 2-4 realize theye they were just asleep. underestimatesy of the frequencies which people fall asleep at the wheel. in addition, the aaa foundation in a survey we do a driving ,ehaviors and drivers attitudes in the past 30 days, how often have even when you retired had a hard time keeping your eyes open? of americanquarter drivers consistently reported having done that at least once in the past month. 2% report having done that very often regularly. next slide. in terms of the pole of ofwsiness -- toll drowsiness, 2.4% of fatal 2% injury crashes. . statistics that these are based on were brought with a number of limitations that result in their likely being substantial underestimates of the scope of the problem. fatigulizer. a driver who is alert and awake and unharmed and able to talk about what happened to me be willing to admit to that police that they were drowsy. again, they may not realize or remember that they were asl

i mean again after the break maybe we we both returned to some of the statistics on the scope of the problem but the research that i've seen shows particularly in the younger ages 40% i think in your book of people say that they have read text. 30% say that they've spent the text. the specifics are astonishing. we are not talking about a minority of the population. >> guest: you brought up something of why we can't deny it. because we have a bad group that says if you've done it 100 times and haven't gotten in a rack and say to your cell phone hundred% of the time i haven't gotten into a wreck therefore i won't but it's a terrible control group that has 101 or in a bridge -- reggie's case. >> host: and we are dealing with a rainy highway. we will pause there and be back for more talk on attention and driving into distraction. >> host: we have been talking about the fantastic new book that you've written and i would like to return to the science of attention because as many scientists have told me, attention is the human faculty. it decides where we pay attention to determines our liv

when you mention those statistics, to me it makes perfect sense. perfect stone a society that systematically has placed a people beneath, a different people based on race. i mean, that's systemic. that is infrastructure that we have to deal with. i think that to deal with that we have to recognize that there's a systemic change that's happened to us. if not, we're inferior. if not, those statistics make sense. >> i want to get to four others since you mentioned racism and people not knowing what the definition is. having a functional defining. dr. king -- a book tour i had written called "death of a king," about the last year of his life. king defined racism as this way. maybe people can hear king when they can't hear us. he defined it as prejudice plus power, king's definition of racism. prejudice plus power. if you have any prejudice and you have the power to enact the prejudice, whether it be hiring or -- you know, we can run the list. take the point -- >> medical decision. go prejudice plus power is what kieng -- how king defined racism. i digr

these are real statistics. if you are going to through away studies and demms. >>. what study are you talking about. >> department of justice reports saying every day three women are killed in america. >> there's 365, 385 million people in america right now. >> i'm saying if you are going to throw out the numbers and facts and accuse fem jipists and women's groups of falsifying them, we need to know how you back it up. >> i would like to get back to the issue of feminists exploiting the issue of rape for money and gain. i have a friend of mine who is quite involved in rape advocacy, she does it for free as a volunteer, as a rape crisis counsellor. what she does is helps when someone is coming forward to report a rape, she goes to the hospital, she sits with them for hours, often in the middle of the night, trying to help them get through the complicated bureaucracy, trying to help them as they report the rape to the police, and trying to give them support. she gains nothing monetarily from this. and the organization that she is a part of is essentially a feminist or

if these statistics are likely to be underreported. studies have shown that a person has to be asleep on average 2-4 minutes before they realize they were just asleep. these are likely underestimates of the frequencies which people fall asleep at the wheel. in addition, the aaa foundation in a survey we do a driving behaviors and drivers attitudes, in the past 30 days, how often have even when you retired had a hard time keeping your eyes open? more than a quarter of american drivers consistently reported having done that at least once in the past month. 2% report having done that very often regularly. next slide. in terms of the pole of drowsiness -- toll of drowsiness, 2.4% of fatal crashes, 2% injury crashes. the statistics that these are based on were brought with a number of limitations that result in their likely being substantial underestimates of the scope of the problem. we don't have a fatigulizer. a driver who is alert and awake and unharmed and able to talk about what happened to me be willing to admit to that police that t

report, and at prior meetings, each month, i provided you with the statistical reports, and for july, august, and september, so, this evening, i will be brief. during the third quarter, of this year, the on occ received 195 complaints of police misconduct or failure to take action, and closed 186 complaints. between january first and september 30, 2014, we opened with an adjusted 536 complaints and closed 525 of them. and we also sustained allegations of misconduct or failure to take action and 15 complaints and we had an 8 percent sustained rate. we mediated nine cases and that is five percent of the cases we closed. and in the areas of organizational and budget matters, the staffing for the occ, during the third quarter we continued to work on creating a list for 8124 complaint investigators that is the journey level complaint investigator, during the second quarter, we posted the job announcement and conducted the written portion of the test, and then during the third quarter, the occ and the dhr conducted the oral portion of the test, and we had anticipated receiving a list from

[speaking at the same time] >> gather ma money and political power. >> they get these statistics from government. >> no, they get them from other feminists? >> no. >> yes, they do. >> three women are killed every day by domestic partner or former domestic partner. that's not the creation of a feminist group these are real statistics that we should talk about. >> who said that? which study are you talking about? >> the department of justice reports that every day three women are killed in america by a domestic partner or former domestic partner. that's a fact. >> okay, that's three women in america. there is 365, 385 million people in america right now. >> i am just saying if you are going to throw out these kind of numbers and facts and then accuse feminists or women's groups of falsifying them, we need to know how you back that up. >> i would like to get back to this issue of feminists exploiting the issue you of rape for money and gain. i have a friend of mine who is quite involved in rape advocacy, she does it for free as a volunteer, as a rape rice us crisis counselor. what she do

now, back to this 78% statistic. we have to first realize that with the material this presented, the composition of the army changes a bit from 1863 to 1864. there are fewer democrats in the army by the time of the election of 1864. now, let me transition to the candidates and what goes on during the election, and i hope what i've said so far can serve as a backdrop to the election of 1864. we've already heard about the candidates, so i'm going to recap a couple of things about the democrats. the democrats had been planning to have their convention in 1864. what better day to have it than the fourth of july. but the war was going badly for another union in the summer of 1864. so they thought, maybe we should wait and see if things get much worse, then we'll have our nominating convention. so they delayed and postponed until the end of august 1864. as we already heard, they nominated george mcclellan for president and george h. pendleton for vice president. mcclellan had been very popular among the soldiers at the beg

here is a disturbing statistic, and unfortunately all the statistics are heartbreaking. 78% of those who expressed transgender identical in grades k through 12 reported being harassed. talk to us how this begins at a school level. >> i want to touch on the bathroom thing. >> please do. >> people talk about fears of transgender, people in bathrooms with them, and not only are there not any statistics to show that transgender people harassed gender people. but it's the opposite, it's the transgendered people who are harassed and questioned in bathroom. i wanted to put that out there because the bathroom issue comes up in schools especially. >> tyler? >> i was going to say that i've been required to strip so many times it's not even funny for police and harassed, just trying to go to the bathroom. >> there are a lot of disparities. there is discrimination. what area would you say is most acute. health, education, workplace? >> i think it's workplace discrimination because it ties in the other. transgender people have the same access to the american dream or should as everybody else, but

there was a significant, statistically significant difference between young african-american men and women and whites and asians and latinos. so what that enabled me to do was to then work within the office to understand what levers are being pulled that result in statistical differences in how we can address them and we have brought in a consulting firm. we are just starting work within our office to address implicit bias in our decision-making as prosecutors recognizing that none of us feel like we are biased and yet the statistics may at the end show that the institution has in fact got a statistical difference that leaves must be examined and corrected and that's what we are trying to do so bringing in an outside agency or outside firm to help us deal with this issue of implicit bias in her office. we would not have done it without the study. it is not often that prosecutors and by consultants and to pour through their thousands of records to look at the issue of race but i'm glad we did it and we are learning from it and i think it will make our work better as we go forward. >>

i could get into some really woeful statistics. really no state has ever had a decade as bad relative to the other states in the country as what michigan had in the 2000s. at the height of this economic depression in michigan, the detroit regional chamber of commerce foundations in other community leaders began to ask a number of questions about what does the future look like? one of those questions was what role do immigrants play in the economy? what are the opportunities and what are the challenges? and so out of that we found a number of really powerful statistics that are shared all across the rust belt and the industrial heartland of this country where immigration and immigrants really make jobs and power the economy in largely untold ways here in either national media or federal congressional debates. so just briefly i'll just try to throw two of, boy, 30-some factoids or statistics that we commonly use at global detroit. from 1995 through 2005, according to research at duke university and uk berkley, 32.8%, about a third, o

these are statistics. these are facts.ur prisons are bloated with people as a result of non-violent drug charges. and so that is why the war on drugs is viewed so intricately connected to incarceration and the venom mon on massive incarceration. that being said, legalization will not end discrimination. it will not end racial profiling. it is a very important first step. and furthermore, from an aclu perspective, legalization is not racial justice, not intrinsically. look at colorado and washington. incredible what they've been able to do. the reality is the proceeds from legalization have not naturally flowed into communities that were disparately impacted. we have an opportunity here in the district that the initiative is going to pass, unlike colorado and washington. in d.c. the council has to act because we don't have a ballot initiative structure which allows for the writing in of regulatory systems. >> there's going to be serious fine-tune that the council needs to do. >> completely. that's why i said this is symboli

again another telling statistic we have in california is in a state of california 6.5% of the population is african-american but 29% of the state's prison population is african-american. there are statistics like that now and that is just one example but it tells us again what more we have to do. we know from the 1970s leading up to 2006 by way of example a perspective on the problem in california are state prison population skyrocketed about 750% from 20,000 prisoners in the 1970s from 1975 to over 172,000 by 2006 and that is what led us to much of the prison litigation some of which is still ongoing today. that by court order requires a state of california to reduce its prison population and that is what leads us to what the economist has described as probably one of the most significant experiments in criminal justice which is something in california recall public safety realignment. many of you here being experts in the field are familiar with it but public safety realignment is as john peter celia has described as a titanic shift in the criminal justice system. a law called a.d. 109

i'm not sure that -- i don't know the statistic, 185,000 person statistic so i can't corroborate that. but you would know better than i would. but at the same -- in terms of what v.a. does, gun possession is -- can get tricky. v.a., we are not interested in removing weapons. however, state to state, if you have -- if you have a mental illness and you have had your rights revoked to own a weapon, then that's the state issue. and so of course v.a. needs to lawfully recognize that, which we do. at the same time, the fear that if i show up somewhere and i don't have any of these restrictions, if i show up in a v.a. and i am really not -- i'm not feeling well and feeling suicidal, the fear that since i say i am feeling suicidal and people will then follow up and ask about means, means restrictions, safety, and so whether it's going to be talking about the plan, well, you know, the clinician will say i'm really concerned to hear this. let's talk about, have you had any thoughts of how you would do it. and if somebody says, well yeah, i think i would use a firearm, there is certainly follow-

billion.oking at $3.8 just to give you a statistic here, if we use up the daily quota for the next 23 days, nearly into christmas, we will basically be using the entire quota for this program. we will see how much the appetite is based on our survey. 81% of brokers think that we will hit $3.8 billion. rish?

that's problematic because in order to have a good statistical result, you want to have a lot of cases. it's like an opinion poll where if you only ask 10 people you can be very confident of who's going to win the presidents' day saw a poll of only 10 people. but if you asked 1000 people you can be more confident. the child -- the problem of childhood cancer, we have an unusual amount of but it's still not that many cases so there's always going to be significant uncertainty. and to this day there will be people who tell you i don't think that, i just don't buy it. good scientist will tell you i just don't buy it, that environmental exposure was responsible. although the majority view does. >> host: where did you find this story? >> guest: well, i was a reporter for newsday for many, many years and the people of long island where i got a lot of my work were very concerned about cancer patterns but the women of long island were concerned about is cancer patterns. i had written a lot about breast cancer epidemiology, about breast cancer clusters, trying to figure out what do we know abou

none, item 6, the discussion of the department of building inspections and enforcement division statistics on complaint and inspections continued from the october 15, 2014 meeting. >> good morning commissioners my name is patrick (inaudible) and i am the chief building inspector at dbi. i have done this back in october and i have added a couple of slides because this was based on data to the end of august and i did add some numbers from september and october. >> this includes the snapshot of the building inspection division or the bid complaints and it is covers the months from january, through august of 2014. and by numbers, and percentages. and it also includes informational and performance evaluation data. and there is historically a reference, to data from january, 2009, through december of 2013. building inspection division or rid, is one of six at dbi that received and investigates complaints. nearly 7,000 complaints have been filed from january through august 2014. of those 7,000, 2,000 were routed to bid. a complaint investigation team within the bid has recently closed 1500 of 2,0

as continuing a conversation when you had earlier today about the possibility of collecting the statistics and we will talk about that moving forward as well. >> thank you very much. >> moving on to our next agenda item, information item i am sorry, 8, information item, comments and xhun based organizations that train and place workers with a broad spectrum of disabilities. we will be having three speakers and just notified that there is a variety of speakers and there is a time limit and so we appreciate the people staying in that. we have terry goodwin, director of partnership and business development and arc, of san francisco. >> thank you for letting me speak today. and i first would like to say that i have been in the field for many, many years and i am not going to say how many. and my job is always been in my career, to place people with disabilities with the developmental disabilities for the arc of san francisco. and we have made a big difference. and i have seen a lot of success. but, regardless we are very lucky in the city right now, because we have had the people calling us an

but one way to think about it is that when the state finally did a pretty good statistical analysis -- not over what the cause was, but over whether there really were an unusual number of childhood cancers in toms river, the analysts found in 1995 that every single type of cancer he looked at, every single family of cancer had significantly more cancers than would have been predicted by the demographics of the town. in some cases five or six times more cancer, childhood cancer cases than expected. so it was a significantly high number. on the other hand, childhood cancer is rare. i mean, that's one of the reasons why we get so concerned about it. so when we see it, we're like, gee, we're not supposed to see that. so even though there were an unusually high number of cancers in toms river, it was still not a whole lot of cancer. i mean, ultimately, the legal settlement that was reached involved only about 70, families of 70 children, some of whom had died and some weren't. so that's problematic because in order to have a good statistical result, you want to have a lot of cases. it's so

we go through this with statistics powering these things. >> let us say we work for boeing. because of the military issues going on around the world today, we want to see if there is going to be an increase in military spending. i know this is a macro, kind of a macro look at this. how would somebody use your yes, i see the congress increasing military spending and the president signing it? analytics get a lot more granular than just seeing whether or not the thing passes. we can break down on a legislator by legislator basis how likely they are to vote for a certain bill. perspective,al there is a lot of opportunities for attorneys, lobbyists, whatever, to be able to say, let me look at this bill. a sans the cosponsors, here are the people most likely to vote for it and the people least likely to vote for it. you can start looking at developing a strategy in terms of trying to get at the information you need. our i will say is that analytics do not provide all the answers. it is not a crystal ball where you can ask any question. but that being said, there is a lot of power

that's statistically significant. that's when i mean when i say extended.hen you get that far away from statistical averages, the market tends to pull back a little bit. that's what i'm probably looking for in the next week or so. energy is a market leader. finally we're getting stability in energy. that's because oil is stabilizing around $74. i don't know if that's going to last. but it's certainly been a real major reason why we've been able to creep up a little bit in the last few days. energy sector stabilizing. guys, back to you. >> bob as a philly guy, did you appreciate that open? >> reporter: i did. you know, it's hard to say that it's statistically significant, the philly fed is really great every day. the markets necessarily are up, but those kinds of small numbers, local manufacturing numbers, are what a lot of traders pay a lot of attention to. >> i meant the "rocky" theme, but i'll take your excellent -- >> i know. i got that at the top. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >>> let's get more now. jim paulson is chief investment strategist w

i'm not sure that -- i don't know the statistic, 185,000 person statistic so i can't corroborate that. but you would know better than i would. but at the same -- in terms of what v.a. does, gun possession is -- can get tricky. v.a., we are not interested in removing weapons. however, state to state, if you have -- if you have a mental illness and you have had your rights revoked to own a weapon, then that's the state issue. and so of course v.a. needs to lawfully recognize that, which we do. at the same time, the fear that if i show up somewhere and i don't have any of these restrictions, if i show up in a v.a. and i am really not -- i'm not feeling well and feeling suicidal, the fear that since i say i am feeling suicidal and people will then follow up and ask about means, means restrictions, safety, and so whether it's going to be talking about the plan, well, you know, the clinician will say i'm really concerned to hear this. let's talk about, have you had any thoughts of how you would do it. and if somebody says, well yeah, i think i would use a firearm, there is certainly follow-

one of the statistics you will see individuals have gone to jail we have ongoing investigations that may perhaps produce individual prosecutions. every time we had a settlement with the bank but we have caught out of those settlements is our ability to go after individuals. >> one of the things you are the proudest of this criminal justice reform. you've done things on minimum sentencing and just announced recently the population has dropped. why did you pursue this type of criminal justice reform and why is it important to you? >> it comes from my experience having been a lawyer and a judge here in washington, d.c. look at these statistics one third of the budget in the justice department goes to the bureau of prisons. it is a growing part of our budget. too many people go to jail for too long for no good law enforcement reason. so i thought it's time for us to ask fundamental questions about the war on drugs. can we do things more efficiently and in a more fair way? you've talked about a drop in crime and above federal prison population and that is the first time that we have seen

i am going to go through some of the statistics, in the homicide we had 3 so far this year. so the one in june, one in july and, one in august. and the one in august, was very important that commissioner wong brought up was a domestic violence, and that i did ten years of investigation of domestic violence and i have worked heavily with a lot of our domestic violence community so that was my first homicide as a captain here. and then it was investigated and it is still going on, however, that is something that hopefully we can stop in the future. >> one in march? >> not a homicide. >> so. >> our next thing is robberies, we are going to go to robberies and to our robberies are down, so far as of date this year. so, and a lot of that depends, and it has been because of our investigation heavy unit and so the investigation's unit heavy, members of the community are going out and they are stopping some of these robberies right as they happen, especially heinous ones and the ones that we have and the series and they look at all of the robbery report and we try to find the people

statistically he was right getting better. and not enough americans felt it and bill clinton waltz into the white house. the same sort of ainge is still there right now. it could hurt democrats. a lot of polls are very, very tight. it would take six net gains for republicans to capture the senate. we're not quite there. gerri: we're not quite there. i wanted to ask you which of the races you're really interested in watching? which will be most telling tonight? >> i will look right off early on because we get them early on in north carolina and new hampshire. in both those states the @emocrat is ever so lightly favored. if it turns out the republican wins or scores very big gains in areas that typically republicans do not, it could telegraph what will be a bad evening for democrats and a very good evening for republicans that might even be able to withstand losing a republican seat in kansas. i was talking to a, you know a political historian who was telling me that he is thinking now that the republicans could pick up to eight

and actually i referred to some of mark's statistics. the growing number of percentage of hispanics growing are nativeborn, and if you look at the demographic of us-born hispanics, 18, the median age of us-born hispanics is 18 years old. this is a very young demographic. and so we are seeing impact in the elections but that's only going to grow. there's much more potential to turn out the vote, to speak on issues the community cares about, and the growing numbers in the future. as was mentioned in this particular election, there is going to be just a handful of races where the population will have a significant impact, as was mentioned, on the senate. colorado with 15.4% eligible, voters being hispanic. on the governor's races, arizona has 22% hispanic eligible electorates. florida is important, and colorado. thank you for having me and welcome any questions. >> i will call on members of the press. thank you. >> so again, i think it's important to distinguish between the population and the electorate. for this election, the electorate in

to give you some perspective on what is happening in the country and in california one statistic for us is particularly telling. one in 10 people who are incarcerated, he resides in the state of california. that should tell you something about the scope of the problem on a national level but also as it exists in the countries largest state which is california. we have the second highest prison population and i was listening to cy talk about the state of new york's prison population which i'm gratified to hear is continuing to get lowered and in the state of california we are doing the same that arched number still hover around 116,000. that i will tell you it's just the state prison population as i will talk to you all about in a minute. many of the state prisoners are now shifting to our county jail population. the problem is in one sense good and better shows us what the solutions are but also tells us how much more work we have to do. one other dimension to this and the commissioner or cy mentioned this there also are other issues more than just as it relates to who, how many peop

and is a pretty staggering statistic in
