when you think about it, the america's cup is 163 years old. e have been two fatalities in the history of the america's cup. last year in san francisco alone, there were 17 pedestrian fatalities. you have to have a bit of perspective here. it is dangerous. it is a high-risk sport. when you compete at this level, it really is all about who gets to the finish line the fastest. there is risk inherit in sailing and at this level. >> given the recent death, are any teams backing out? >> it is possible that the artemis team could, but i don't think that will happen. i think they are all proceeding. they spent years planning, designing and preparing and training. all of these dreams on the line for the sailors and engineers and builders. they are five weeks away. the last i heard is everyone is proceeding. the big missing component that people are waiting for with great anxiety is the police report and what that will show. >> how long will the actual race last for? there is so much build up and conversation about this. how much racing? >> a summer of r

but a strong economy and government oversight of corporate america aren't the only things america has lost since reagan stepped foot inside the white house america has lost perhaps most importantly our trust in government and we continue to struggle to get it back. after all the reagan administration was one of the most corrupt in american history it included by one estimate thirty one reagan era convictions including fourteen convictions in the iran contra affair sixteen in the department of housing and urban development scandal david simon and stanley i write in a lead deviance one hundred thirty eight a point appointees of the reagan administration by the resigned under an ethical cloud or were indicted criminally reagan's government isn't the solution it's the problem entre which is essentially saying america is bad continues to cause record levels of distrust and dislike among americans in our government. as a result civic participation has collapsed and americans are skeptical of best about participating in public service. meanwhile how can we trust a government that through tho

the presence of revolutionary guards in latin america, the presence of latin america representing the presence of terrorists. they back them in latin america, and they could also serve to cause some harm to the united states of some american interest. what happened in october 20 # 11 when iran tried to kill the saudi ambassador using the center of drug cartel in mexico. there's a strong presence in latin america with connections to drug cartels, and they also have connections, of course, to the government. what's the interest in the government in having relations to iran? here egoback to the same logic with the farc. iranians are experts in creating or consolidating a totalitarian state, and therefore this is where it's not surprising why we have revolutionary guards in latin america. secondly, the iranians, of course, are experts, and that's another thing that they would like to adopt, which is what is called guerrilla war, protection of the own regime, and these are things that the iranians are experts on. particularly, i think what the government is taking intoing the is the possib

crew was practicing on the bay today with just a week before the start of preliminary rounds in the america's cup. but a spokesman for the italian team says it will file a protest for the cup's international jury. the protest centers on a rules change requiring a rudder modification. rules negotiators battled for weeks over a list of safety recommendations prompted by the may capsizing of the artemis boat that killed olympic sailor andrew simpson. force most part the 37 recommendations are not controversial. >> it's like having a defibrillator in the chase boat having a guy rigged up with a scuba suit ready to go, having automated crew locators, but the one sticking point as far as we can tell is the new zealanders are hung up about the issue of rudder elevators. >> reporter: as well as the italian. they say it violates class rules and requires unanimous approval. neither team approves. >> whether it be a boat or airplane, they steer through the rudders and big rudders steering well. >> reporter: the required modification adds fins on the rudder under water to hold the stern down when the boa

we are going to have to hit the ground running when we get back from america's cup. phase 2 is projected to cost approximately -- million dollars clean installation of insight apparatus for passenger processing including customs and border protection in all their facilities, the port' s first-ever mechanized gangway, moving into the 21st century. we have a lot to do with a short period of time. on top of that 2014 will be the busiest cruise season with 76 calls- first time we have reached the passenger count of that magnitude. it is critical to get it up and operating, and critical to have a management team in place so when the america's cup event ends they can be involved and the management company can be involved in the implementation of phase 2 construction and they can begin marketing. the port has received numerous inquiries for the space, is a high-profile space. when the americas cup is completed it will have an even higher profile. today, staff is asking for authorization to start negotiations with metro cruise; we still have a great deal of work to do before

the light. same with america. the idea that time has come to retreat from the world and it are the issues around us is a call for us to hide our late and again we can't do that because of america's life is extinguished there is no other light, there is no other nation. there is another example. there's nothing it replace us. we are called not to hide our light shine at approved of the world by action in example of the principles we believe in and stand for, freedom and liberty of all mankind to go as far as you can go from the dignity of life, importance of marriage, that these issues are time tested will be an example of how these things should be put in practice and build a better world and a better life. i conclude that jesus' last admonition. he says, just so your light must shine, shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly father. what that says as we want people to know it's not just by her words, but our actions. the amazing about the early christians is heavily persecute
