took before, we were explained -- we went through the security drill, they told us that in case of emergency, do not go back to your room. they showed us where the life jackets were on the station. they also made us go through the entire drill how we are supposed to get on to the lifeboat, what is the protocol? so we felt very safe in our first cruise. >> did that happen in this cruise? >> no, at no given point were we told what to do, who we are supposed to contact. i mean, luckily we don't have any kids. i'm grateful we don't because a lot of times the kids are separate from the parents. we had no information what to do. >> is it fair to say that you feel that you weren't properly communicated to regarding safety requirements and standards on the ship while you were on the ship? >> correct. and then can you just talk a little bit about once -- i'm trying to understand what was communicated to you while you were on the ship versus what was communicated to you after you vacated and once you were on safe ground. were there two different -- in terms of what was occurring. >> so at any point while we were on that

to do. the time by now is around 10:30 p.m., and one of the crew members came and practically gave us the same instructions this time, urging all of us to go back to our rooms and wait for further instructions, and everything is under control. a few people did what was being asked for, but we decided to stand near the exit door near the lifeboat. by now it was really difficult to stand straight, as the ship was listing towards the port violently. at this point, we decided amongst ourselves and located a rock where we could swim to in case they kept us waiting for any longer to get into the lifeboats. we tried asking a couple of crew members to tell us what had happened and they simply shrugged their shoulders and went on. the lifeboat crew was equally clueless and kept waiting for further instructions from the captain that never came. people started to panic and getting frustrated as the ship is tilting more by the minute. we were getting frustrated, aggravated, and the crowd was pushing and shoving against each other. still no sign of any emergency alarms or any evacuation instructions from the captain. finally the lifeboat crew let us on

i am going to get off the stage and and things off over to jay hsu. he is going to tell us a little bit more about what we're doing today. >> someone needs to hand me the remote. terrific. brand implementation is a journey. the asian art museum embarks on a new journey. to reinvent ourselves, to engage a broad audience. the broad audience is very much at the core of what we do here and who we are. why now, you ask? as the aging world influence grows, so is understanding its culture. more than half of the global population lives in the asia. to look at our own san francisco bay area, one third of the population are of asian descent. also, a challenging economy offers us the opportunity to take advantage by being bold and taking risks. we need to increase our impact and by doing so, increasing revenue. also, a successful restructuring of our long-term debt. that took place earlier this year and has put the museum on sound financial footing. on that note, i would like to thank the city leaders for leading the effort and working with our newseum team in finding solutions. today

to take a step backwards. the law that is being considered today is going to allow us to go back to the kind of tests we were doing eight or nine years ago where we could actually measure growth without a floor or i an ceiling so that we could actually see ar a student is performing. i think what you're talking about, senators, right now we have assessments of learning. we give them at the end of the school year. those are great for accountability systems and they help inform instruction somewhat for the next year. what we need are assessments for learning where there are assessments less intrusive and they happen during the regular classroom period. i've gone into classrooms before where the -- it's a very high level of enen engagement where children are engaged and there's a lot of learning going on and all of a sudden, the teacher says okay, it's time for the quiz. everybody close your books. it's like somebody sucks the oxygen out of the room. the technology is availableable to capture assessment data during a regular lesson plan while it's being delivered. it means a heavy dose of technology in every classroo

to export the crude oil. if you're going to export -- if you're not going to use the oil in canada, you're going to use -- you're going to export it the most efficient way and that would not be to send it 1,500 miles through the united states to the gulf coast. as a matter of fact, the united states is importing about 9 million barrels of oil per day and we export very little crude oil. less than 50,000 barrels a day with the most recent numbers i have seen. you don't have to have a prohibition against exporting crude oil when you have a company importing 9 million barrels a day. and number two, the host country if they want to export it and not use it in the united states -- if in their own country, they will export it to another country. on the refined products, as mr. green has pointed out, and mr. shimkus and others, it is a good thing, not a bad thing that we actually have a refinery and petrochemical industry that's competitive enough that we can actually export some of our products. they're creating and maintaining jobs in the united states. 74% of all the crude that comes into this country is used in thi
