possibly imagine i mean i could quote you a number but the fact is that there is hardly anything that could explain the origin of life that is less likely than a random chemical reaction so who created the creator. i have no idea how life originated i'm not promoting any specific solution to the problem but what i want the scientists to understand is that this notion that we've held onto for fifty years or so simply is mathematically impossible and what i'd like other people to understand is that science is claims or the claims of some scientists that they have understood life and there's no need for a god or there is no need for any other solution those claims simply aren't viable either so i think that there is this issue this conflict between science and faith that has in part been supported by this notion of science that is no longer viable the universe is on its own doing and with what we know about life today that simple random chemical process just doesn't make any sense the universe is fifteen billion years old the earth is five billion years old that's a massive theory of time if you were to if you were to say that you know mil

the team is trying to block the county's plan of intercepting cash. the dispute is over $30 million in redevelopment funds originally earmarked for the project. a board voted to funnel the money into oer needs likeducation. the team responded with a restraining order. pacific gas and electric wants to raise your rates. they say they need money to replace gas lines and to hire more people. >> automobile sales figures are out an american car companies are doing better than last year. sales at chrysler up 20%, a company says their entire fleet of vehicles performed well. general motors sales are a 16% higher and sales at four are up 7% thanks to strong demand for the sec. japanese automakers saw strong demand in june and nissan says that their sales jumped 20%. some of the high-tech safety features that are in more and more new cars appear to be working. the highway data institute found features such as adaptive headlights an automatic braking systems are reducing crashes but the study also shows pat down lane departure warning systems are not helping drivers. fed up with your cellphone,,,,,, >> it is time for this week's best buys. the fresh and stay healthy and save money. every week i pick out t

the original evidence, correct? >> that's what the problem is. like i said, it's old. evidence often gets thrown away after the trial is over with. it's misplaced. so, yes, you need that physical evidence. but think of all the cases that don't have physical evidence. only a very small percentage of cases rely on forensic evidence that can later be retested. >> reporter: why did the f.b.i. give up on using hair analysis? >> well, basically d.n.a. was much better. they were starting to use d.n.a. on the hair and then they realized that hey, the examiners were getting it wrong an awful lot of times. and maybe the science wasn't all that. >> reporter: thanks, jim. the department of justice is asking for assistance from the innocence project and the national association of criminal defense attorneys so they can have third party assessment of what they find. brian? >>> the news edge on virginia now. the massive storm that pummeled our region two weeks ago didn't just knock out power to hundreds of thousands of people. it also disrupted 911 service in northern virginia for se

like me. it reminds me of when you had to own property in order to vote. luckily, we have the chiu amendment, which is more likely to preserve turnout. having the original ranked- choice of voting in november makes sense. more people vote in november, which means more democracy. if there is no majority, you could have a runoff in december. when a candidate gets a majority in the november election, the cost of the second election is saved. do i have to stop? on a personal note, my father was involved in the civil rights struggle of the 50's and 60's. i grew up believing all americans are entitled to equal rights, including the right to vote. sometimes, you had to fight really hard to get those rights. this seems really similar. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am the president of californians for electoral reform, a statewide non- partisan commission that works on ranked choice item. if you must, president chiu's proposal is least offensive. it provides a consistent experience to the voter, and is less likely to hurt turnout. items 33 m 35 have a september primary and a november runoff seven or eight weeks later. having sat at the rules committee hearing,

the interior. i believe in 210. they have all of our records, and -- and there is speculation that we don't belong to the original group. i'd like to make it clear that there is only one wappo group. >> who determines that? i'm assuming that the department has that information that they are able to run the traps to figure out if folks are who they say they are, if there's a -- a continuity of tribal organization and tribal governance, is that correct? >> yes. what was your question? >> who determines that? >> the department of the interior, yes. >> so they have everything they need in order to do that. >> we gave it to them in 2010. like i said, if they need a fresher copy, we'll give it to them. >> and the department advised you that you should go through the court to settle this. >> when we asked for administration restoration we did ask to do that, and we were advised to go through the courts or through congress, and -- and we understand that there are political challenges in congress, and so we wanted a fair shot through the courts as recommended. >> so he recommended that even though he has all the documentation that you be

the j.p. morgan london whale bet for example is one hundred billion dollars big. one of the original one is two billion now it's likely a loss who knows they don't know what they've lost it may be two by friday morning when they report it could be five or nine billion dollars and that's because these tiny little movements measured on a live bore when you extract relate that to one hundred billion dollars bet it doesn't take much. like that. much of the deregulation that allowed all this to happen came out of phil gramm commodity futures modernization of i twenty gram the head. the and graeme leach bliley you're right she had formerly been the head of the regulatory agency but then she went to the board of directors of enron and and my understanding is that particularly the commodity futures modernization act the ability to bet on things that didn't used to be considered actual physical commodities and to create bets in unregulated markets that's what that came about because ken lay wanted to do this with energy and enron is it to what extent has this financialization that started with enron and phil graham's wife and

is real, and the curious thing now is how did he learn how to do this? who taught him? where did he gain this expertise? again, it goes back to the original problem in the case like this is whether the person is acting alone or part of a greater conspiracy or just other sympathetic colleagues that may want to do the same thing. so that's what the authorities are hoping to preserve the evidence not just for evidence purposes, but for intelligence purposes in that apartment. his computers, his printed material that may lead to solving the issue of whether these are real, sophisticated device sdpes if so, how did he learn how to do it? >> and talk to me about the levels of this sort of investigation and a very methodical approach to making a discovery that this apartment was indeed booby trapped, as we saw bomb authorities do and then try to defeat what they call the first threat which was a trip wire in that unit before even going about this sort of controlled detonation of sorts or this use of this device to try to target a particular mechanism inside. what would be next? >> well, probably repeat the same procedure. i'm assuming they have a direct video feed out o

is truthful. the most genuine laughs -- tavis: or the biggest controversy. >> but like i say, into a certain degree, controversy in its proper context, if it is built on the origin of truth, then i can handle the controversy, like that situation. i was kind of able to give them my treat. there were people mad at me, saying, "we are going to boycott you." tavis: we were talking before you got here, niecy, it is a rare thing to see african- americans in this business do that. we do not have enough time in this show for me to start naming the names of people who we saw on one show, and it might have been a huge success, but that is the only thing that we recall that they ever did, and you have had said, after said, , movie after movie. it is a rare thing, but it is a beautiful thing to see people reinventing themselves and keep getting opportunities to do that. what do you say? >> i say i am grateful. i say god is kind. there are so many people out there that want to do what we do for a living. i do not take all of the credit, but i do know that i love what i do, and i see it as a gift, so in that respect, color me crazy, but i expect the door to be open. i expect

: the second part is that the -- i guess the idea is that there is supposed to be a commissioned officer and a noncommissioned officer. we put the original amendment to gather and it made it sound like everybody had to have a pe requirements. you do not have to have that, as long as the commissioned officer would have the credentials. this allows for the hiring of the noncommissioned officer. that is sort of what that was. commissioner mendoza: so, to omit the requirement for all new hires that do not -- it is missing something. there is something that is missing. it sounds like you can be an instructor, and you are omitting the requirement for being the instructor. i would like to see something that clarifies commission versus noncommissioned. >> just to clarify, omiting the requirement that new hires have the necessary certification -- it means that not every person you hire us to have the credential, which was the original wording of the last amendment. now it says that we are allowed to hire a instructors that do not yet have the necessary certification, so long as there is an appropriate number of credentialed instructors to oversee the site. as long as there are appropriate nu

and change, then the debate for growth and the inevitable change in cities is an intractable problem. but if we return to the original question, i would liketo strike at two words. i find that tradition and heritage, in the urban structure. i see the architectural history as a continuum, with every building an expression of its culture. history is being made. this is part of a continuum, and so this is part of a change to advantage. i will be not answering a question, but

scenario you describe that the borrower is about to default, to declare bankruptcy or whatever and the person who made the original loan that is in the first position is going to likely of those all their money because of the bankruptcy that is likely to occur in a deal could be structured, maybe the original lender has no more money or is unwilling to put up any more money, throw good money after bad as the expression goes than somebody else that was willing to do that. maybe because they get a higher rate adventurist to comment and pony up some more money. you might be able to restructure an idea like that, but i would think you got a legal team behind your job, bright looking people and you've been in business yourself a lot of time and maybe done some of these deals. you would have to go to the first position in get their approval before you could restructure and subordinate them to a secondary position, would you not? >> you do. you're in consultation with them, as we were. >> you are not in consultation with me. i am a taxpayer. you are not in consultation with we the taxpayer. that is the problem here and that is the thing that just amazes me that you don't se

there is not a further technical requirement like the original 45-day period. commissioner antonini: ok, that answers my question. there had been some questions asked by the public and i wanted to make sure there was no requirement because we know there is a minimum of 45 days, a maximum of 61 days, if i am not mistaken, on the comment period on draft eirs. in general terms. >> there was an impact to historic resources. the original comment period it was the 45 days. commissioner antonini: ok, it thank you. i have a few comments on the eir. first of all, other speakers talked about there not being alternatives. there has been all along. there have been preservation alternatives, partial present take -- preservation. what was added, which is not part of the environmental document, there was a feasibility study that we had as -- during the informational presentation we had a few weeks ago which showed the relative costs to these alternatives. that is not an environmental issue. it substantiates. the other thing that is not an environmental issue, i will comment m

direction we have received directly from the mayor is that we now would like to see an operating commitment, which is stronger and more absolute than the one that we originally negotiated. we have communicated that to cpmc. we're continuing to talk to them. we hope that even though we have not gotten there yet, we're optimistic and convinced that over the next few weeks, we will get to a place where the mayor can be satisfied. president chiu: i know what the last hearing, you stated that there would be ongoing conversations around the newer productions that have been proposed and new ideas that would go back and forth. if scientists and what you just said, it does not seem as if their art -- if i understood what you decide, it does not seem there is agreement. >> there is not agreement on this issue. i am here to make clear what the mayor has directed us to ask for. i am here to make clear that we are here to talk on here to find a way to get there. as of today, there is not an agreement. president chiu: we appreciate the mayor's perspective on this issue. >> thank you. one more thing on this, and this has not been so much in debate, but to finish the piece.
