decision again for the ukrainian government and the ukrainian people it has nothing to do with the vital interests of the united states and i would be opposed to my own government my own country imposing sanctions on the ukrainian government in people for decision which is their sovereign right so and i don't think the congress of the united states would would go along with sanctions i find that hard to believe you know like you said this is a choice that ukrainian people should make themselves and there is no one opinion on what path the crane should choose in your opinion what do you think can help them figure things out at this point. well i think the ukrainian joy to decide what really is in their own best interest i know a bit about the ukraine i was there and back in nineteen way back in the nixon administration before richard nixon in one nine hundred seventy one and i know that the eastern ukraine for example is very much oriented toward russia and the western ukraine is somewhat oriented toward the old hapsburg empire so it's a country that is really it is really a mixture but a

some believe it all began when pain was designated the fifth vital sign. >> when you talk about vital, typically someone gets their body temperature measured, their heart rate, their respiratory rate and their blood pressure. but there was always this push to say the fifth vital sign is pain. never forget about asking someone about their pain. you think that fueled this or helped drive this? >> i do. i think physicians around the year 2000 started to get pushed to better manage pain. and the physicians in our culture, that means give out more medication. >> so pain becomes a vital sign. laws are passed liberalizing the use of opioids for more than just cancer. doctors prescribe the drugs for legitimate reasons but also for conditions that could be treated with much milder medications or therapy. the result? we proscribe enough pain pills to give every man, woman and child a dose every four hours for three weeks. remember, 80% of the world's opioids are used by americans. 80%. does that surprise you? >> i didn't know that. no. >> is that a cultural problem? >> yes, it is cultural. peop

they don't see vitality like this on stage. we are capable of conveying joy when we play.sk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want t

the existence and the intimacy and the vitality of small businesses in san francisco is a part of what makes san francisco a great place to live and shop. i try very hard to only patronize small, local, independent businesses and i don't shop on-line and i don't go to the big box and i don't go to chains because i love what small businesses do for and mean for the city. so, i think that i am very comfortable also, in speaking for my board in seeing saying that the work that we do to make the transportation work in san francisco is work that we want to do in ways that are supportive of small businesses and individual, small businesses and the small business community in general. and so i, i hope that you will kind of see that throughout here but we want to make that really clear from the front that we absolutely want to be doing work that is going to strengthen the businesses that you represent. so, probably our aseminal guiding policy is the transit first policy that was adopted by the san francisco board of supervisors 40 years ago. it was put into the charter. and we are the agency c

man: infrastructure is vital to the american economy. water, after all, is an essential ingredient in hundreds of thousands of everyday products. narrator: agriculture and industry use roughly 80% of the water consumed in the united states. water is the basis for manufacturing many goods and provides the ability to clean and sterilize everything from computer chips to the surgical instruments used in hospitals. kelly: the minute that there's not enough water for businesses, industry, and individuals, they have to go elsewhere. and when they go elsewhere, jobs go elsewhere. your entire economy begins to suffer with the lack of clean water. narrator: while the water infrastructure provides for our health, safety, and economy, a growing concern is that the value society derives from water has not traditionally been reflected in the price we pay for water. man: when you take a look at how much people pay for water, as a percentage of median household income, it's usually less than 1%. and when you compare that to how much we pay for electric

play is the serious business of young children, and the opportunity to play freely is vital to their healthy development, yet many of us misunderstand and underestimate the value of play in the lives of our children, forgetting that... play helps the child's physical development; play fosters mental development; play enhances social development; play helps children express, relieve, and cope with their feelings; play helps develop each child's unique perspective and individual style of creative expression. play especially provides an excellent opportunity for integrating and including children with disabilities in your program. woman: you're not going to go? play is so important in sustaining the creative spirit that i want to explore each one of these points a little further. even as early as infancy, play fosters physical development. on a very simple level, it promotes the development of sensory exploration and motor skills. through play and the repetition of basic physical skills, children perfect their abilities and become competent at increasingly difficult physical tasks. play
