i went to undergrad at duke university. i went to law school at harvard. after clerking for a judge, i came out here in 1997. i have been here for the last 14 years. i have always lived in the castro. i am an attorney. i started out in private practice. i settle private law firm during complex commercial litigation. in 2002, and moved over to the sentences the city attorney's office where i worked on the trial team doing trials for the city, handling my own cases, and supervising a team of attorneys as well. >> why did you choose to live in san francisco? >> i always assumed i would go back to the philadelphia area since that is where my family is. i was always interested in san francisco in terms of what it is as a city, its culture, it's amazing lgbt community. i came out here for a summer, fell in love with it. i have been interested in politics since i was a kid. i worked on campaigns as a teenager. i was involved campaign against senator jesse helms when i was in college. when i cannot hear, and was not initially involved politically. -- when i came o

i am an undergrad premed student.ill be here representing a doctor because he was not able to make it here tonight. my name is dr. michael -- i am here to represent the committee. i have served as a director of pediatrics and am still working at a pediatric clinic. there is a reduction in pediatrics, neonatal care, and other services. yes, they kept statements open to have wonderful things. this has harmed my young patients. and their working-class parents. we urge the board of supervisors to exercise the power to help the low-income population. it also makes no sense to transfer this in the heart of a densely populated area to near downtown. these plans do not reflect this with those losing their jobs and health insurance. st. luke's is by two freeways and some bus lines. not only does this ill serve people in san francisco who have a difficult time getting to it, it does not even serve the rest of the city. my colleague, there are no issues. cpmc will increase the shortfall with a five-year period. cpmc has diverted

so i pursued public policy both at occidental college, where i went to school as an undergrad, and also you see-berkeley where i pursued public policy -- also you see -- also uc-berkeley. that was really what shape my interest in public policy. >> where you place yourself on the local political spectrum? the left or right? supervisor chu: i know a lot of folks want to put a person in the position where they call you left, progressive, moderate, whatever category that might be, and i think it really depends on the issue. generally, i am a very practical legislator. i like to look at what the impacts of legislation would be before voting on it, so i think, depending on the issue, you could move around, and i think that should be the way that most people think, which is, "let's consider the facts of legislation before you actually consider it, irrespective of what spectrum it comes from." >> what did you learn from campaigning for supervisor? supervisor chu: it is hard. i learned that my shoes were out pretty quickly -- wore out pretty quickly. i learned to be more practical about the type

. >> while most of the 7,500 undergrads here come from catholic or other christian backgrounds, all faiths are welcome. >> actually, right in there, if you go into healy hall, there's the jewish rabbi, the muslim imam, and the head priest, all in the same building -- offices right next to each other. >> georgetown is actually one of the first universities in the united states to have a muslim chaplain -- a full-time muslim chaplain. >> and the school motto is "utraque unum," both into one. can you explain that? >> yes. "utraque unum." it's a latin phrase. "from the many into one," or "from the one into the many." so, for instance, we strive to be one community here at georgetown, but yet we're a very diverse community, and we welcome a diverse student body. one in many. >> students are encouraged to uphold the jesuit ideals of being active on behalf of others. so, it's no surprise that georgetown grads fill the ranks of service organizations, like habitat for humanity, teach for america, and the peace corps. >> it's a great school academically, but also the commitment to serving others and

that's how i put myself through undergrad, and i had an accommodated hitler acumen for it, and i looked at those things, and in the early to mid-90s, institutions, really the wild, wild west was a good descriptions of what the networks are like, typically fragmented administration, public university, couldn't block anything at the edge. i hear that's still the case, so, we saw some amazing traffic patterns, and it was really kind of an open -- an open, you know, honey pot, the entire network was, so really understanding how machines were getting compromised, that's when it peaked my interests. >> do you have trouble keeping spirits up? it's like rolling a ball uphill. >> i love it. i love it. i love it every day. my wife is like, are you coming to bed? i'm like, hold on. five minutes turn into five hour, and the sun's coming up. no, we discussed this earlier on in the green room, i couldn't wake up every day and do the same thing, and this type of thing allows us to do -- >> people ask me, if not getting paid to do this, some of these folks doing it out of the goodness of their heart, w

changed recently the government will now directly lend you up to thirty one thousand dollars for undergrad that goes up each year to a little bit more so thirty one thousand dollars though is not even a year of tuition at a lot of schools now so let alone books room and board anything else that you might need in that time if you're expected to be a full time student so a lot of private banks step in and fill up the gaps and that is basically you know you're signing up for these loans when you're eighteen years old. and the government still guarantees these loans student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy even the private loans. and the government can go after you to the point of garnishing your social security so if you make it to sixty five and still haven't paid off your student debt they can still can get it from you. so i'm wondering a little more scary about you you know that that makes student loans fundamentally different from those though the types of doubt there are very few things you can discharge in a bankruptcy and one of their code and why. well our good friend my favori

every since i was in grad school really starting -- my undergrad is criminology and i have a master in science and when you go through college you do a lot of stuff really looking at network administration that's how i put myself through undergrad and i had an acumen for it so i began to really start looking at those things, you know, in the early to mid-'90s at academic institutions really the wild wild west was a good description of what those networks were like. typically fragmented administration. public university couldn't block anything at the edge. i hear that's still the case. so we would see some amazing, you know, traffic patterns and it was really kind of an open -- open honey pot the entire network was so really understanding how machines were getting compromised that's when it really started to pique my interest. >> do you have trouble keeping your spirits up. this is kind of like rolling a big ball uphill, i feel. >> i love it. i love it. my wife are you going to come to bed, come on. you experience that the five minutes turns into the five hours and the sun is coming up.

engineering undergrads generally don't get their degree in four years. it takes five to six years.l. city college got a grant from the department of education to try to promote engineering. one of the people i talked to in the story said what we don't have is a sputnik moment like in the '60s. a real calling. a real honor and calling to major in the hard sciences. we don't have that now. he said we need that now. interesting. i look back at my education. i barely had to take math and science in college. it wasn't really required. >> so interesting, too. all of those kids switching to be english majors, the highest paid english major is writing technical material for s.t.e.m. couriers, where the action will be. but it is very difficult. >> one outside i found out about reporting the story, computer sciences. we'll dig into in for next month's jobs report. computer science major, getting hired in droves and more and more kids want to go into computer science. applying to that major. they look at a company like google or facebook and say, that is really, really cool. >> it's hard work

was identified as a 23-year-old south korean citizen with permanent residence status who was an undergradere. he was on campus student there in a dormitory. we don't know anything about this alleged suspect, except the description that came to us drektdly directly from officials at virginia tech. let me tell you what that description is. he is described as a white male, in gray sweat pants and gray hat with green neon brim and maroon hoody and back pack and he is on foot. what apparently started as a shooting at a parking lot there, now it does appear that the suspect has left that area. the school sent out a notice and is essentially on lockdown telling people to stay in their rooms, to lock their doors. and i'm sure that there is a huge police presence now dexrendi on that campus at virginia tech. again, they went through a very thorough review after that massacre that happened in april of 2007. they put a lot of new practices in place, a lot of new safeguards in place, including this system that let's students know exactly what happens when they run into a situation like this. you can

it was there as an undergrad at a very important event ways to cast some of his destiny. he asked a woman out for a date and she declined his invitation. and she quickly forgot about this, but bruce ivins never did. he attributed the rejection to her membership in a sorority called kappa kappa gamma. from that point on, for the next decade he was on event data to harass, to torment, not only the institution of kappa kappa gamma, but members of pkg. but this was in full evidence after he received his phd in microbiology from the university of cincinnati and moved over to chapel hill, north carolina where he was employed as a postdoctoral researcher. and there he met a woman who he really took a shine to come a doctoral student named nancy haywood. nancy haywood was an attractive blonde, terrific student and someone who clearly had was two with goods going to take to have a dynamic career. nancy hage would quickly determined that bruce ivins was peculiar, abnormally strange and rebuffed his overtures for a closer friendship. this enraged him. and so he started a campaign ag

you know, one beef that i've always had with the economics profession, and i was an undergrad major,go so dangerous enough to know a little economics, but the idea is economics is a science is something that many economists that i respect talk about, when they talk about the profession. my view is always that there's so much that fits more in the way it used to be called political economy because you just can't think about economics as a hard science in the same way. where are you on that? >> you sound like my father. i -- i mean, there's -- there's truth on both sides. there's certainly mod that's we can create where we say, look, here's a rational actor trying to maximize profit or whatever, and then we can see how they work in the model, but then the difficult challenges whenç youo out into the real world and see how people actually behafrks people are driven by a lot more than what we can put into our models so that's where the art of it comes in. i think that both of those perspectives have value. it's just a matter of how do you remember connect them up with each other. >> and

guess who is published by harvard university undergrad specifically and it's a self-sustaining companyderived its funding solely from advertising sales, prescription sales. so it doesn't rely on the university and the point is you don't want to be beholden to the diversity for sending a status which are primary purpose is to cover the university in its affairs. you don't want to be biased and that is sort of the thinking behind. so it was such a great lesson in journalism and being unbiased and making sure that you have the complete sort of view of things so you can assess them for what they are. there's no conflict of interest. >> about to the beginning, talking about your grandparents and father. how did you get enough interest in the learning issue able to get into harvard? >> possess the tiger mom questions? >> guest: where did you get that and they taste to learn? >> guest: i felt all the time that there was no choice in the matter, that this was put in a job was as a kid. there is outdated and are best when it comes to studying and practicing violin or anything like that. growing
