. >> okay deborah you're on. >> hi, i'm henry the parks manager for the permit tracking system for the department of building inspection giving you an update on the status of project the slide i've prepared is focused on the u a t that is the process that we're trying to get through to a system that works for the department instead to review the things on the left and right side of the screen ross are configuration through the at&t i wanted to show the presentation of the results in terms of the project team and the preparedness of the system november 2014 we start another round of u a t the prior rounds proven with the number of items that come out of them over 6 hundred u a t we needed to show the system as fit for dbi so as you can see when that when we bled out that round of u a t in november we started fixing items additional had at the peak over 70 thousand items in scombran that needed to be fixed they've by and large been fixed through january to today to have this permit retested and today, we're down to 23 items to be rectified and retested we're near the end of the f

the banking system: why must it be protected? ic analyst richard gill and i will investigate that question on economics usa. i'm david schoumacher. captioning made possible by the annenberg/cpb project america's businessmen and women know how dependent they are on a friendly bank for their success and the growth of their communities. america's banking system has provided that success and growth for more than a century. although most banks are healthy and long-lived historically we have faced bank failures. while we can accept other businesses failing with a shrug a bank closing is another matter, as we learn in our story. new york early in the century, financial capital of america. it was money that kept new york moving and growing, money that built its elevated trains and skyscrapers. most of the money that built new york came from the banks, from the powerful national firms on wall street to the more modest like the knickerbocker trust which served the city's neighborhoods. working-class families kept their savings in the knicke

to the financial system so that's the work effort going on today. basically the decision was made because with the rebuild and the effort it took to do the rebuild and the reorganization of the it it wasn't possible to engage in a new emr and confident we could be successful, so it was really opted we would do it more in stage fashion because the reality is commissioners even if we opted to do the new emr and had the manpower to do it our infrastructure across dph was not ready. the things that would help us doesn't exist today so if a doctor has a reset issue he has to call the help desk and open a ticket and wait. if you have a clinical health desk they deal directly with clinicians to expedite the requests to answer questions that are related to the work flow. it is not only about the technical infrastructure but the support infrastructure that doesn't exist today. without that we cannot possibly hope to be successful with the go live. it's our effort and hope today that by 2017 when we go live we will not only be ready but better than anybody el

we do have some new systems going in that we do not have. for example mdm is one of the new systems. we don't have that today but in large part

the money they need. nobody likes this system. it's just about creating the incentives where they can see they can win in a different way. so this is not as hard a problem in some very important sense. i think if we can get justice recognition beyond the simple injustice, something beyond the simple injustice, i hope, i think that's the only way we can make the progress happen. you have been fighting for the mic again. >> i don't have any additional questions. thank you, i'm convinced on like the tithe of the 10%. i have been convinced for some time, it was just hard to, not do both, but that there is an emotional piece there and i think there is something great about everybody working together on that underlying piece, so thank you. >> thank you. >> next question on this side. >> hi, i can't think historically of any government that isn't built to protect the interests of the elite and even in the grass where there was better income distribution, that is where civil rights were certainly not in place for many, many people who live

i believe the system was broken my thirty years in law enforcement i've learned the it can be indemnify difficult to reform a system for example, when i looked to reform a 3 strikes allow lieu to make sure we were not sending people to prison for the rest of their lives for a low office many a disagree with me he of those criticized and often perp attacked any critics suggested the result would be a massive crime epidemic that'll the board saw there the rhetoric and since proposition of 36 only 1.3 percent of those who were released because of the 3 strike reform were returned to prison that the law of recidivism in the entire system thank you. (clapping.) >> now i'm proud this office is an innovation incubator and throughout the criminal justice 1278 one the principle areas that needs reforms in the way we utilize technology to get the job done 21st century criminal with 20th century or 19th century system is not successful awhile i upgrade our office technology we do more to harness the power of item to help you often remind people in the office research is 10 percent of the

support the health care system. yesterday i was at a blood bank trying to talk to our colleagues there are the resources to raise our healthcare system the additional resources to support the health centers. the human resources for health is a critical challenge. we lost a lot of our health records. the confidence in healthcare system has to be built so that the people have the confidence to utilize the health care services, and by doing that you have to train more positions, positions, trademark physician assistants, trained nurses midwives, even we still have not gotten to the level yet where somebody can walk less than one hour to get to a healthcare facility. with those kind of systems you need your military health weapons to regional the last path from preventable diseases and improved human resource for health capacity strengthening infrastructure supply chain and all of these. but how do you leverage now these resources to get the health care system? and the united nations has also been very, very much. i what

that runs parallel to the civil immigration system. in fact since the initiation of the operation's streamline along the border. they have become majority of offenses in the system. in the last 30 years it has been noted the number of people held in the civil immigration system has exploded from a few 00 in the 1980s than more than 30000 people detained on average each day last year including asylum seekers, women with children parents of u.s. citizen children, long time legal permanent residents and recently arriving migrants. >> for the past five years it has been discussed today that a detention bed quota require that ice maintain a baseline number of beds today 34,000 on any given day. >> in texas we have seen ice setting bonds for individuals in order to keep the facilities full essentially to meet the quota. the detention system is also increasingly operated by just a handful of for profit private prison corporations that exert tremendous influence in the development and operation of the detention system. just two companies the ge

the price system would make the necessary adjustments.things were going well, people would make profits, and if they weren't, they wouldn't make profits and that would help in the adjusting process. this was the state of mind. this was what economists were saying, and the government had behaved that way for a long, long, long time. as the 1920s faded and with them, the memories of prosperity the 1930s brought an awareness that there was a serious split between traditional economic theories and present economic realities. john maynard keynes was building a theory that dealt with total purchasing power-- aggregate demand-- and asking whether this was in balance with aggregate supply. his answers pointed to a path out of the depression. essentially what keynes is saying is that the way to get rid of a depression is to create a demand. and that's the heart of his theory, and the difficulty is that the demand for some reason, has shrunk more than the supply of goods. while keynes groped for an explanation that fit the depression, treasury secr

i believe the systems that we put in place are the right systems for a public education system and they're bearing results. so i want to say to the students how much i appreciate getting to know many of you. i find you to be just some of the most thoughtful funny, intelligent, just great kids all around. i say all the time our kids are awesomeyou will continue to be awesome regardless of whether or not i'm superintendent of schools. i appreciate the support that kids have given me and i'm really loved getting to know many of you in different ways. you guys are great. and i know that you will welcome the next superintendent and engage with the next superintendent in the same way you have with me. and i just appreciate the leadership and the thoughtfulness and just the great character of our kids. [inaudible] >> i will fulfill my responsibilities as superintendent through february 16th. and those responsibilities are clearly laid out not only in comar but in my contract that i will be everything that i'm supposed to be doing for the time that i'm here. maybe one more? or we're all done? than

these are the realignment dollars for our mental health system and this is a different formula and a different category from our indigent realignment dollars which are declining, so and then on the uses. again we have a 6.2 million dollar reduction target and the second item i think which is the most substantive action that we're proposing today in the budget. the context on that item is that as you know beginning two years ago when we were in darker budget times we made plans to make a reduction to our community based services. the focus was to look at services for which we are not drawing down federal reimbursement and purely general fund and go through an rfp process to remark our system, and at the same time reduce the total pool of funds available by 8.8 million dollars growing to 17 in the second year, and that was done to meet our general fund reduction targets in prior years. that's gotten carried forward and pushed, delayed in time for about two years, and we are facing that reduction in the coming budget for fiscal year 15-16. in our conversations internally and with the may

i'm talking about the system as a whole. the irony is america is trying though meet the challenges it faces through a system that - it's kind of - it's based on a culture of standardisation of testing, and you can see it. you can see the light going out of children's eyes and the blood training, it's because it's being confused with an industrial process, not a human one. you have to stop from the idea that you have all this talent to begin with. >> an idea of teaching to the task, that it's more important that a kid pass an exam than think creatistly, what does it do to a generation that goes through that model? >> there was a report published by ibm. it was called "capitalizing on complexity" and based on interviews with 1500 heads of organizations around the world. they were asked what keeps them awake at night, what are the challenges. there were two - one is how to run an organization that can adapt to change quickly. but the top is creativity. how do you run organizations that comes up with a flow of fresh ideas, new id

if wore going build the system from scratch, i think the single payer system is the best system. >> enjoyed your books and i think your second book is a wonderful book because it describes the realities of the practice of medicine today. i think a lot of people don't understand the reality of practice of medicine today. i'm also a physician and i can relate to your book, particularly because i also met my wife as an intern at the new york hospital. she is here. the question i have is not a medical question. it's more of a literary question. how does a writer doctor find an agent and deal with an agent which is something you don't learn in medical school. >> i was fortunate because i was writing for "the new york times" so the agent actually found me and reached out to me. but let's talk arwar .. writer? [inaudible] >> well, find me

through the breakdown of the system. no sooner was the war over than the business community and the rich went to work to undo what had happened in the 1930s. to undo the high taxes on corporations and bring them down to where i just told you they were, to undo the tax on wealthy people to bring them down to where they are today. and therein lies a lesson that it was the upsurge of a militant organized working class that overcame for a while the tendency of capitalism to polarize. but the lesson here was better learned by the business and the rich than by the working people because the business and the rich went to work. no sooner was the war over, they went to work to undo what had been done in the 1930s. the economic history of the united states in the last 30, 40, 50 years has been the undoing of the new deal. that was the name roosevelt gave to what he did in the 1930s. from which the following lesson can be further distilled. the problem for corporations and the rich, who keep running a system that plunges us into cri

for example you know that we're laying fiber to connect many of the locations so we can have a faster system in the future. the challenge is we have over $30 million in it infrastructure in dph. if they had a life of five years which they typically do that translates to $6 million a year that we have to continuously invest in in order to keep the infrastructure up-to-date so we have to make a commitment as an organization that we will do invest in keeping our systems up to speed. strategy really is not to invest $30 million immediately because that would actually exacerbate the situation because it creates peaks and valleys of investments, so what is proposed is going forward to stabilize the spend cycle to move to a five year refresh so it's indeed $6 million every year instead of $30 million every five years. the risk of that is obviously this effort will lag behind the current lead but eventually caught up and everything will be refreshd and stabilized. it is my hope before the emr is rolled out that we will actually have done enough refresh to have a stable environment that we could put

the new york city public school system that educated me. columbia university that nurtured and tolerated me. [ laughter ] the women who has loved me so long. the kids who have between joy and i hope they really understand the true pride the true pride of my life. a brother who has been more than a sibling he's been a dear friend. beautiful, sisters-in-law a brilliant brother-in-law. the guys at the cologne. you know who you are. and my crew from 24th avenue and 101st street. and more recently a president and colleagues in this administration who stuck by me when i didn't always make at any time easiest thing to do. i'm grateful to this great nation who gave a black kid from east elmhurst queens new york city more support and opportunities than any individual could have hoped for. thank you, america. to the wonderful dedicated accomplished men and women of this great department, i really realized i asked a lot from each of you in the last six years but let me make one final request. keep going. keep fighting. keep believing in your ability to

he talks about what the system did to improve the education system and suggests other ways for cities to do the same. >> good afternoon. thank you for coming out this afternoon. we appreciate it. i am going to introduce our guest: ... about equal to the number of schools that exist in boston, washington, philadelphia and baltimore. [applause] >> it says a lot about the bloomberg the years. they were on our role. a lot they have done. and unscreened high school quadrupled the graduation rate and replaced in love bronx and held on to work with joel klein as chancellor and the portfolio of new school development and a senior adviser to the chancellor and mayor's office on strategy. last year the family foundation as director of k-12 education where he endeavors to collect high quality school options. please join me in welcoming joel klein. [applause] >> thank you. i want to thank you and larry. the deputy chancellor and now in my capacity as academic foundation and one thing i learned early from joel klein, you know who your friends are when they stick with you through thick and thin and

there's a live look at the poconos. this systemo bring different types of precipitation, depending on where you live. the poconos is probably going to see mainly snowfall. for today, your high will be closer to 43 degrees. the late snow/mix moving in. and then another cold blast moves in on tuesday, dropping our daytime highs back down to about 26 degrees. >> maybe that will encourage people to come -- you know head home a little bit earlier. >> maybe. >> employers won't have too many sick callouts for tomorrow morning. we know how that borks.works. >> we want you to have a good time, just be careful on the roads. >> i'm rosemary connors. for brittney shipp and everybody here at nbc 10 have a good one. we'll see you back here at 9:00. # nn state is right here in greater philidelphia. ♪ we are top ranked by corporate recruiters. ♪ there's new scholarship money available. ♪ we have four year degrees so you can finish here. or at another penn state campus. ♪ and there's no application fee when you visit here. penn state in greater phi

with both of these systems, the thing that matters more than the current system is, god for bid votes. voters will stop that is what is mattering to the democracy. equal votes from equal citizens. to describe the solution to this problem is not hard. why don't we have the solution? why do we have political movement to push for this solution? political experts tell us is most people don't care about it. most people look at the corruption and they are ok with it or they are ok with it relative to other issues they want to fight about. i don't think that's actually true and evidence comes from a series of studies. the most recently did was in december of 2013. we asked the public how important is it to you we reduce the influence of money in politics. the answer was 96% of americans said it's important. the very next question we asked was how likely do you think it is we will reduce the influence of money and politics. 91% said it's not likely. just like most of us wish we could fly like superman, but because 91% of us are convinced we can't, we don't throw ourselves off of tall building

i have had the american system like the natural system here in washington. it's terminal. d on a serious note i spent half of my adult life receiving health care from three different european countries and in the case of the uk also was employed in the child wasn't until health system due to family aging. >> what's the question? >> i want to thank the author for bringing this back to the society. >> this is the best question i've got. >> i do hear what you're saying but i want to share with you. >> we have serious problems and until they overcome their denial can overcome that his association with reality that we have probably one of the most broken systems in the industrialized world and even coaster rica acknowledged but i think the premise is and i would like your comment on this. in this society if you talk about anything and everything founded on private material, monetary of attainment the only society in human history that thinks it's all about the private and not the collective. >> we are going to ask steve to talk about that. >> we spent two weeks trying to get hea

the rail systems are maintained. there are many reasons politically and substantively to pass a bill. secretary foxx said he discussed this with chairman ryan. >> the current bill expires may 31. if the congress does not find a way to work, that's also the start of summer construction season. >> if they don't have enough monday -- money by the end of may, the balance of highway trust fund drops below an acceptable level where they can constantly cover their obligations, the amount of money they promised to send to state. when that happens, they start slowing down payments to states. they may not get paid the same day or the same week. it just depends on how bad it gets or how low it gets. but already states are putting off projects because of the uncertainty. they can't just suddenly make a decision at the end of may to fund a road reconstruction or a new lane on a highway. they have to make those decisions way in advance. and if they don't have the federal piece to that, which is not 100% usually of the project but a

the money they need. nobody likes this system. it's just about creating the incentives where they can see they can win in a different way. so this is not as hard a problem in some very important sense. i think if we can get justice recognition beyond the simple injustice, something beyond the simple injustice, i hope, i think that's the only way we can make the progress happen. >> you have been fighting for the mic again. >> i don't have any additional questions. thank you, i'm convinced on like the tithe of the 10%. i've been convinced for some time. it was just hard to -- not just do both, but that there's an emotional piece there and i think there is something great about everybody working together on that underlying piece, so thank you. >> thank you. >> next question on this side. >> hi, i can't think historically of any government that isn't built to protect the interests of the elite and even then the grass where there was better income distribution -- that was where silverlight's -- civil rights were certainly not in place f

the system is moving quick. h how the future cast brings in clouds starting tomorrow and then later into thursday but by friday look at the sierra, that's where the action is going to be up there. not a lot here. but i think you will notice a big change in the temperatures starting friday into the weekend. low clouds, high clouds. mostly sunny. warm inland but cooler coast and bay because the little influence on some of the fog. a lot of 60s. low 70s, including vacaville, antioch. down for alameda, berkeley and also for oakland. 67, san jose. 67 santa cruz. a little bit mort fog, san mateo santa cruz coast. 60s, low, mid for the peninsula and the coast. it gets interesting. friday/saturday. >> sunday, march 1st. is that our last good -- >> if it's a rain year, it can go into april or may. >> not a rain year, usually around the april 15th time frame it cuts off. >> we have another six weeks to get more -- >> yes. >>> there is a new lawsuit. this one is blaming a popular dog food for poisoning, maybe killing hundre

the health care system by doing that. you have to train more physicians, you have to train more physician assistance. you have to train nurses, midwife wives. we still have not got to the level yet where somebody can walk less than one hour to get to a health care facility. with that kind of system you need your community health workers to provide services for preventable diseases, improve your organization system, improve your human resource for health capacity. strengthen strengthen infrastructure, supply chain and these services. but how do you leverage now these resources for ebola to get the health care system? and the united nations has also been very very much helpful in the system with the organization, and for the first time the united nations established the united nations mission on ebola response for the first time for the u.n. security council to approve establishing a separate mission for ebola. we think that was very very much useful. this multinational partnership was critical in the response. >> can you sa

you couldn't operate the way the system said you should operate. it was impossible. so you had to have networks you had to use your contacts. even if you were an official waiting in an an estate organization, the only way you got things done was informally and that's why there were, you know, so many of these guys who were managers were drinking all the time because you have to drink with people in order to make deals. so it's an institutional systemic problem. and we're seeing that sort of thing, we're seeing the ip formalization -- informallization of influence right here in the united states. it's not just with uber and air b&b and these, you know solutions people are turning to under financial stress, it's a much more kind of endemic problem. and we would think that, um, you know traditionally the media -- one would think -- would be there to help us sort the out. and this is clearly investigative journalists really should be helping us connect the dots of the networks and helping us to look into people's roles and so on. but the problem is that we know that the i

that means we have to find a way to stand outside the system to force the change within the system. the challenge here is to be authentically outside in the effort to force the change on the inside. that sounds like a heart problem and in some ways it is. there is something so appealing about the idea of demonstrating that throwing the message around the corruption of congress would be enough to rally the voters and then raising the hundreds of millions of dollars necessary for the something clean and simple about it even if there was something somewhat corrupt about it. so this forces us to think what is the way to go forward that could force the change on the outside? from the outside? and i'm going to describe three elements of that strategy. one element is to make the change plausible. one element is to make the congress panic and one element is to make the issue presidential. first they originally had this idea of electing a congress. the bad was that we could demonstrate the power of the message to elect the candidates. this was a bad year to make that bet and now we have a hor

the u.s. justice system, is probably the best justice system in the world. we have a lot of dedicated public servants, defense lawyers, public defenders, you name it, they do a good job. but our system still needs a lot of work, obviously, as we're here today. we think it needs to be improved. it fulfills the bill of rights. that's what this is all about at the end of the day as americans. it needs to better protect americans. all and especially the most disadvantaged and help improve society. and as we've heard here and as you all know, who gets hurt the most in the criminal justice system are those who can least afford to endure it. and that's wrong. and we need to fix that. over the past six months, we've had a lot of people come up to us and say why is coke involved on this? why are you involved in criminal justice? i thought i would answer that question here today for those of you who might have the same questions. and let me just start by saying, as i say, it goes back over ten years. and, first, we're drawn to these issues because of our belief and the

the backbone of this system in the making. a mission control based here in leesburg virginia that has the potential to change the way we fly worldwide. they close the separation and make the operations a lot more efficient. >> the chief technology officer spent 18 years with the faa and said this realtime data means you can maximize airspace that would improve routes and cut cost on fuel. as for flight tracking in the case of 370, no one knows if the system would have prevented the plain from getting lost. they believe they would advance the efforts to find it. once the alert is operational, it would be freed to rescue crews. >> we will test to make sure the pay loads and satellites work properly and launch time out of california using the falcon nine rocket. >> i new frontier of flying in the works, working to make the case of missing planes a thing of the past. they have been working with the faa and not said whether it will sign up for the global service just idea. >> kids may see new teachers. the school system is am categ

as far as the system, the system in america was never built for black people. it's never - this is my personal opinion. i speak for myself. i don't believe it was never built for black people. that system has never been changed. those documents have never been altered. these things were made back in the um teen hundreds, and these are the same literature that is down today. at the time it was made, black people was never in a position where they were looked at as equal. if this is the same documents they are applying today in 2014, it wasn't meant for them. >> what was it like growing up as a black man in america? >> in america it was a little different. i was a foreigner, african and dark skinned. at the time that was not in still. i was getting picked on. >> you were in trouble a lot. trouble. >> what got you in trouble. >> the way i felt - i was mistreated and unfairly judged because i was african. i was always in a fight. >> you spent time in gaol. >> collectively about months. >> what for. yes. >> so again, what was it like then. i mean, when you see, you k

the tummy tuck system has been independently tested. d the best part of the tummy tuck is you choose how to use it. keep your lifestyle with no added diet and no added exercise and still trim size from your waistline. or for best results, combine the tummy tuck to your exercise and diet program to burn belly fat almost two times faster than exercise alone. and because the tummy tuck jumpstarts the fat burning chain reaction, there's no need to wear the belt during your exercise. so in the morning, you can do the 10-minute tummy tuck method and then any time during the day, you can exercise whenever you choose and the tummy tuck method still accelerates your results. plus, if you want to look instantly slimmer, then why pay up to $100 for other products that simply hide what's underneath? instead get the tummy tuck because you'll look slender instantly and you're gradually slimming away the fat each time you use it. and if all you want is the easy way to trim your waistline then the tummy tuck works even by wearing the belt twice a day fo

. >>> people like richard branson who buck the system in search of breakthrough solutions to big challenges like space travel, artificial intelligence and climate change. necessity is supposed to be the mother of invention and technology gives us things we don't need. innovation changes the world. tonight i ask at what cost. i'm ali velshi, this is "real money". we are living through a technology revolution that has enriched our lives and disrupted them at the same time. once upon a time knowledge was accessible to the elite. then innovation brought us libraries and the printing press, making it accessible to more people. now almost anyone can download the contents of an encyclopedia on to a hand-held. democratizing access to knowledge. the dizzying pace of technology through computers, the internet, has created opportunities for governments, businesses, entrepreneurs to boost growth and benefit society. the technology revolution left many behind. digital innovation in the workplace eliminated the need for back-office jobs that were the back-bone of america's middle class. globalisation fue

the u.s. justice system is the best in the world. icers, defense lawyers public dependers, they work hard and do a good job and they work hard but our system still needs a lot of work as we sit here today. and we think it needs to be improved and so it fulfilled the promise of the declaration of independence and the bill of rights and that is what this is all about at the end of the day as americans and it needs to protect all americans ab especially the most dis -- and especially the most disadvantaged for society. and we've heard here today who gets hurt the most in the criminal justice system are those that can least afford those who can endure it and that is wrong and we need to fix that. since we had a public announcement about our partnership with the national association of criminal defense lawyer nacdl a project we are excited about we've had people saying why are you involved on this and involved in indigent defense and in criminal justice and i would ask that question for you today for those that might have the same question

the bay ridge will be right back. what's that thing? i moved our old security systeme to see if it could monitor the front yard. why don't you switch to xfinity home? i get live video monitoring and 24/7 professional monitoring that i can arm and disarm from anywhere. hear ye! the awkward teenage one has arrived!!!! don't be old fashioned. xfinity customers add xfinity home for $29.95 a month for 12 months. plus for a limited time, get a free security camera call 1800 xfinity or visit comcast.com/xfinityhome. >>james: bacchanal the centimeter of this erika looking at storm track four and as you expected earlier some of showers and advance amendment is probably all over. >>erica: this say is a light mist to their notice a come all the way down to the ground we do have some wet roads and san francisco already you can see here much of the city is affected. you're getting an early starter returning where talking about heavy rain later this afternoon not a lot of people will be out on the role hopefully will be inside the ticket over to storm track and zoom and we're ride

i'll focus on the smaller scale shelter system with a lot more case management i am thinking of the unit i'm sorry the in take unit at the department the aging and adult services we have a lot of case managers that are specifically trained to take care of the aging issues and think of a congratulated shelter or environment that is smaller and assessable and provides more serviced and connecting people with disables and perhaps some modifications to the in home support services and working with the departments to be able to access the support along with the transit services that people need to survive in the community. >> thank you supervisor campos. >> thank you very much and i also want to thank the department of public health for its work just a question i don't know if it's a dumb question but something i'm trying to fourth how this works if you have someone who has chronic serious illness who happens to be homelessness and staying in a shelter but certain treatment that is needed where you know their presents in that shelter and lack of access to the facilities o

the american system is like the metro system here in washington. it is terminal. on a serious note i have spent half of my adult life receiving health care from three different european countries and in the case of the uk also was employed in their child and adolescent mental health system. due to family aging, i am back -- >> what is the question? >> i want to thank the author for speaking sanity to a mad and brainwashed society. >> that is one of the best questions i have ever gut gotten. >> we have serious, serious problems. and until the society overcomes its denial and disassociation with reality that we have the most broken system in the industrial world and i would like your comment on this. is this society, talking about anything and everything that was founded on private material monetary obtainment. it is the only society in human history that thinks it is all about the private and not the collective. and i am working with mentally -- >> all right. we are going to ask steve to talk about this. >> juvenile delinquiants and i am trying to get help for a chi

>> well, a lot of it has to do with the system the intermodal system today. we can handle over three million containers at our yard. 1.5 coming in and out. places this down state illinois or minnesota or indiana don't have that kind of inbound capacity therefore, they don't have the available containers to ship out. it's a market balance to some degree. i'm not sure that's fixable in the short term. building more containers is not necessarily the answer and i would defer to my rail colleague to maybe respond to that. >> senator, what i would say is i don't believe there's a net shortage of containers but how do we efficiently get them into the interior of the country? so with that what the western roads have done is we have found ways to find the ability to load those containers consolidate grain loading around our intermodal hubs around the interior the country. so where there's a surplus of goods naturally made, the majority of dwran thatgrain that gets loaded out or a very large percentage that gets loaded out comes from the state of kansas. so as we draw

on 5 b the state of the regional water system report that lays out a very rational and comprehensive approach not just replacing things as they break but actually managing the things that you have. the focus was on the water system and my question is -- a couple of questions -- one is the degree to to which that represents current practice as opposed to being an aspirational kind of a document and the other is whether that same kind of thinking and systematic approach is being incorporated in the clean water program and the power side of hetchy as well. >> so i can actually get back to you on as far as any other programs, but -- steve? >> this is steve ritchie general manager for water. for the water system we look at it in two chunks. one is the systems here within the bay area and this particularly focuses on the the peninsula and alameda water facilities and yes it very much does represent current practice and there are shift and priorities due to drought and others and that's certainly true on the hetchy side certainly with facility assessment for example right now we're completin

but america still has the costliest legal system in the world. even before disturbing americans enforcement system which has turned in to a shakedown process enforcement officials find a company that may or may not have done something wrong. threaten its managers with commercial ruin. and the basic way they do that, if they indict you, you can't do any business with the federal government, just think about that, and then force them to pay an enormous fine to drop or just not to file the charges. now, our agenda includes curbing these excesses. plus reforming the legal system in key states and jurisdiction. preserving the availability of arbitration. passing the fraudulent asbestos claims and challenging foreign governments so they don't get as foolish as we do considering the american style of class action lawsuit ss. finally, education reform it's fundamentally unfair that some of america's children get high quality education, while others are left far behind. far, far behind. this is where the real inequity comes in america. the harsh reality is

that's part of an overall fiscal approach that includes reforming the tax system and reforming the immigration system so it follows in the same path but president has in the previous budget of balance to deficit reduction coming from the spending side, coming from the revenue side and the death on the declining share of the economy which is what economists would think is important. >> two quick points i would make. there's been a lot of focus rightly so on the short run deficit and how much they have come down. this has been the fastest. a deficit reduction since after world war ii. we have also seen a single biggest driver has been the slowest growth in healthcare cost just to take one example if you look at the numbers our spending on medicare and medicaid in the year 2020 is now expected to be almost $200 billion lower just in that one year than it was when the president came into office. so, what jason is talking about on the entitlement reform is important that the building on that as well we have a new proposal in the budget which would adopt bipartisan legislation on what's called the d

which operates the black economy and in this system the policymakers have to be a part of it, the executive with the police and the judiciary have to be part of it, and the businessmen too. so there is a triad that runs the black economy. it must be broken and and if you do not break this triad the black economy will not come under control. >> aakash aggarwal can see the building boom from his balcony in delhi. the real estate agent is bang in the middle of the money laundering scandal. a house purchase always involves cash in hand to evade taxes, so called black money as opposed to so-called white money. >> when someone buys a property part of the purchase price is always in cash. >> whatever the total price is there, out of the total construction price you need to pay some portion of the premium in cash and some of the portion to conclude the deal. >> aakash aggarwal cannot avoid being dragged into the system. he says the problem involves the whole sector. >> i think the people who have lots of cash are the black money from different

it is the reason the uw system exists. defines us and we must not abandon this core principal and value. so governor walker told a reporter yesterday that the university officials had in fact seen the changes and they failed to raise concerns. >> that was language they went through, looked at, and somehow overlooked. so for us we have no problem in putting that in. our focus is is on creating authority and giving them full flexibility. >> are you surprised. >> by the end of the day, however, walker fully backed off the provisions saying they were a drafting error. today, they honored documents saying staff in walker's budget office were the ones requesting the line by line changes to the mission statement. this was not an accident from drafting error, and walker was forced to change his story again, chalking it up to miscommunication. he said late on wednesday, my chief of staff spoke again and found they had raised a concern with the state budget office about the specific language. my office told the budget staff to keep
