there were over 100 people who were treated inside the civic center, and there were a lot of people there. most of them were very minor. there were a number of people transported to the hospital. there was nothing particularly serious. we took them from the field, to there. and if they needed more than to be provided on site, they would be transported. the other part of this was using the partner agencies. we had the partnership with the red cross and this was -- we were very happy to have them engaged. the police department was very helpful in getting their vehicles through the crowd. this is very much what you are going to see in an emergency, with many people changing situations. there was a lot of planning taking place because the crowds shifted, using this with resources that were not what they should have been. we had to make a lot of adjustments. and we were -- is needed to be outstanding to make this happen. the fire department and a great job of coordinating their own paramedics, and working with the private sector during the games and during the celebration. as always, i think t

there were some basic things we were not attending to.nd as a presentation is going to show, this reconvenes the committee, and mayer brown always used to say, there will never be an earthquake on his watch. and he was right and i cannot criticize them. he was very confident about this. he was thinking that everything would go well. and we will have tibets a little bit. i am now watching in i am not on just yet. in the next few weeks. the first meeting that had, we were walking to reconvene the disaster council. this was six or eight years. people have forgotten about this. we had put in -- we had put together the emergency planning. the president was looking through his policy papers, and this was well above the first document. and you can see a lot of what he was doing, no other region has done as much as we have. and so, we have put this out of place with the definition and the direction and we will have to keep working on this. and personalities become very dominant. and this is a measure of the performance. you have the emergency, an

one of the things they were checking with stocks. some were poppies. you had this strange moment where the show -- showed -- soldiers were riding with puppies. just one of those weird moments. anyway, i don't know that much, but the dogs were ubiquitous. so always dogs. in fact, that was the way before the horse. they carry all the belongings. so, anyway. are we done? >> squeeze one moran. >> one more. one more. >> i've found that a failing in the book being that the maps. >> of the people have noted that. duly noted. i think it could have used more maps. >> by your publisher. >> second edition. granted. >> i would like to thank you all for being here. i would like to thank sam gwynne.

of who they were and where they had gone and even what their names were. was quite difficult to find people, and i had researchers scouring the slums. i started looking for a taxi driver who had lost six members of his family. his name was mohammed israel. eventually i found out he had moved to a village in a distant province, a three days train ride from mumbai. there was a series of negotiations with the younger members of the family, because i wanted someone to come to mumbai to be interviewed. the fact that here was a muslim family who had come to the railway station and they were going home for the feast of eid, a big day on the muslim calendar. they had been gunned down by these fanatics of an ideology that had nothing to do with the religion of the victims. i felt this was a very core thing for me to get. i said to mohammed, could we bring some more of your family to speak to us? he said yes, there is a 19- year-old boy who will come. one thing or another happened, and it was not a 19-year-old boy who came, it was a 12-year- old boy who came, accomp

the wacs were an auxiliary, they were not in the army. marshall paid out of his pocket for the year that he promised he would replace as well as to ship it back to africa. now the wacs had no protection of the geneva convention, the military life insurance, no benefits, no g.i. bill and no dependents benefits. edith rogers crafted the women army corps bill as wac and interested to congress in general ray 1943. it passed into law in june the rate of 1943. waac had to rejoin the women's army corps through a three month window. so the women's army corps lost 25% of those women who had been in the auxiliary because the army had changed the examination standards. there had been a knee-jerk campaign you can read that in the book a few good women, and there were families and boyfriends and husbands that did not want these women to go into the women's army corps. after world war ii ended, legislation to continue the women's branches was introduced into congress. during congressional debate about this legislation and some of the legislators were n

thought they were going to die and there were getting some kind of treatment which they were not. the scientists never stop to explain. it started decades of scientists coming to the family wanting things and various problems for the family. her medical records were released and published in the press. there are a lot of these ethical issues that happened to the family. when researchers and institutions talk about doing anything for the family, it always goes back to money and the other stuff is put to the side. >> she was an african-american woman. what do we take from that? what does that mean? >> her story is part of a long history of research on african americans without their consent and in this case, they were doing this to black, white, anyone. it carries a lot of weight in the african-american community. there is this long and painful history. there's a lot of mistrust. this story has long set into that. tavis: what is the timeframe of this as compared to the tuskegee experiment? >> same time. it was toward the end of that. the study started earlier. one of the things that

were you afraid. i was scared at one point only. scared but it felt as if something was missing you know russians. the moment the fuel low lights went on the countdown began. after that moment we were we couldn't carry on the flight as we had intended earlier. on that moment we had to make an urgent decision so you were going to fly somewhere well let's go back to feeling afraid i felt fear a couple of times but it got suppressed immediately. when an individual is busy doing things he's fear and yet suppressed i had of the kind of fear that constrains one's motions and limbs but that's not what we felt you just have to overcome it as we were busy piloting this fear was receding but i felt really scared only once when we landed and ran into the forest but we'll get to that that's when i felt somewhat scared but not while still in the air. right here not accustomed to flying through a forest. of events were unfolding as follows. it was taking place as usual at the altitude of ten thousand six hundred me

nor were they aware of it at this moment that their lives were in danger. officer suguitan, fearing for his life and that of his partner, and for ms. johnson, discharged at least two rounds of his firearms that mr. smith and his willful attempt to stop the threat posed by mr. smith. noticing that mr. smith was still advancing, officer suguitan discharged more rounds, mortally wounding him. mr. smith collapsed in the doorway of his residence. officer suguitan and his partner quickly responded to a residence in response to a citizen needing assistance in meeting with your roommate. officer suguitan was in the of the confronted with a life- threatening soup -- a circumstance and his attempt to offer the suspect assistance in dealing with his mental issues. with practically no time to react to the threat to his life, that does his partner, and a citizen requesting assistance, officer suguitan reacted under tremendous circumstances by discharging his department's firearms and ending on stopping the threat posed by the suspect. officer suguitan, in a split- secon

there were 10 official speakers. they were all men.ere were a number of women who complained that they weren't represented in that watcher on. and they had spent in tcp and casey hayden and a bunch of other people. then they were told by byard preston, who above all else were human by anybody. they were told that, you are represented. where wilkins is here from the naacp. james farmer from the core, he represents he appeared at john lewis from the slt c. walter reuther from the uaw, he represents the rent that one. there is eventually a compromise for daisy bates would like to speak for the women. she was given a short little speech to read and a group of eight women were asked to stand up and bow and accept a pause. i believe that played a role in a major women's rights movement because there was this really strong pop a blood notion, hold on a second. how is it different for blacks to be claiming their rights, which they deserve? how is that different from women claiming their right? it became pretty clear pretty quickly to the smart

we left the gun that morning we were to cross the moselle we were on one side of the river and you were being destroyed by artillery shells coming the other way. i was digging a hole. in the dirt because we knew we were going to be attacked by artillery and i was had michele in my hand and then suddenly i was flying through the air like you sledgehammer to get me thrown me way into the air and i didn't know it has come back to the ground and went up and up and up and then suddenly i fell back. put my hand up and i felt the peace of. some in my head and then i looked at my hands and my would just scarlet with blood and i looked at my back at my butt and my butt was. if you could see the white fat in this huge hole in my but i remember i was lying there and. so many came over and he tried to fix me up and he was leaning over me and i watched the tip of his nose disappear a piece of shrapnel cut off the tip of his nose and then the blood from his nose merged with my nose and the next thing i knew i was in a stretcher i still don't honk yet because i was still paralyzed on my right side and

we were not allowed to even address the matter, as it were. commissioner garcia: but if the landlord is not willing to have you continue and you need the landlord, how do you ever prevail? what happens? how do we help people like you? i am not opposed to giving jurisdiction. i am just not clear on what we achieved by doing so. >> i believe that if we were able to appeal, i think the issues regarding who is fined would be able to get fleshed out correctly. i do not believe that has been isolated. commissioner garcia: that would be one reason. all right. were you also, at that time were sometime in the future -- are you going to try to get this board to produce the fines that have already been assessed against ike's? or is that not part of the some action? here is my understanding. $250 per day has been accumulating against this operation. it is within the power of this board to reduce that to $100. are you aware of that? >> yes. we would be seeking any and all sorts of reductions at that time as well. commissioner garcia: thank you. president p

our story started when we were 20 years old and it began, the two of us were unknown. we evolved as artists and human peculiars together. >> ifill: you could see it coming through, the aspiration to art but trying to channel it somehow. >> both of us had a mission. robert really believed in himself. robert was a very interesting boy, because he was quite shy yet absolutely confident in his abilities and that he would someday achieve acclaim. he saw -- >> reporter: he knew that? he felt that? >> absolutely. i had a lot of bravado in that i could make a living, i had no fear, but i didn't have as much confidence in myself as an artist and i think alchemically we traded off. he instilled his confidence in me and i helped take care of us so we helped each other find our paths. >> reporter: there are a lost famous people that move in and out of the story, sometimes in the background, rock stars janis joplin, ji mi hendrix, and you write "i was there for these moments but so young and preoccupied with my own thoughts that i hardly recognized them as moments." it's interestin

there were additional properties that were required, specifically 460 townsend, 950 van ness, and 2225 gerald. these were acquired after the submission of the imp and eir. since these properties were in use without proper authorization, the department has taken action. we have issued notice of violation and penalties, specifically for 930-950 van ness and 960 farrell. the academy of art has regrouped its administrative staff in industrial design from 9:00 -- 930 to 950 van ness. the academy of art appeal before the board of appeals. they also requested a request for reconsideration. this was turned down at the board of appeals last wednesday. we will essentially be assessing the academy of art $250 a day as soon as we receive a written cessation. is there any question -- if there are any questions, i would be happy to answer them. thank you. supervisor maxwell: supervisor chiu? supervisor mar. supervisor mar: thank you for the very thorough report. it is my understanding we are getting quarterly reports on the progress of the notices of violation. i think you went over the life safety

we were like can a pig where we were to be hit and the cop unaids were converging and wiping the enemy out. there was a bright night you could. see long distances by them all we had been out for quite a while on this patrol and hadn't seen anything. we relaxed. all i want some bad kong stepped out of the bushes. and it's dog over him to see australia and it startled me and. he was firing and i didn't how my weapon was but on the die i brought my way up here off. so i managed to get. hagrid age off my belt. cost a couple grenades. dealt with it but i got. then we could see as far as we could see there would be a call that was coming up to our parameter. we called in for and direct fire and couldn't get it we called and for permission to return we couldn't get in because my comment was getting over wrong. so welcome on the told to just try to find a place and spend the night there. we told the marshy and he was on the one that was kill and one on a bomb crater and we sat there on night. eventually the mechanizing only came in and we loaded the marshy on. his brains actually fell out as w

factually, we were accurate. >> we were not saying they were bad people. >> thank y9ou for attending.vite my boss to make some concluding remarks and wear down. >> i would like to start with one observation. we're talking in terms of dollars. a dollar does not by the same amount of access or impact. media con-- micro targeting makes a difference. $1 buys more impact. it lets you find the purse wettable boater. -- persuadable voter. we saw in 2008 that internet use the presence of controls predicted an obama vote. it was about as strong as talk radio producing a vote for mccain. there was a disproportionate amount spent. as we talk about money matter ring, money may be more effective than it once was as a capacity for micro targeting increases. what is the relationship between campaigning not any someone elected, but in creating a climate in which that person can lead or the collectivity can govern? high level of attack -- does it increase the amount or chance that they will vote for the other side? is the winner at the cost of having weathered attacks that increase the persons on trus

all of those responses were lacking some of the key information we were looking for in the rfp. we did was, along with staff, puc staff, we met with each one of the four respondents. we have that meeting on a monday. we'd describe what we really need it. we gave them a tailoredes

we were on the different side of the aisle. we were setting the agenda.athe cameron and -- who does things that are very different but we're fighting to get back. i must say looking at the clip of mow in 1994, it did bring commands in the early 1990's. i had a brilliant intern called terry sule. >> now all these years later, she has just been elected as a congresswoman from alabama. i believe she's the first black congresswoman in alabama since reconstruction. and she was a brilliant young woman, and i'm really pleased to see that she's going to be serving her country at that level of congress. >> how did she become elected? >> she wrote to me. she was studying at oxford at the time and wrote the me she wanted to be my intern. she was a great person who except contact all these years, and i know she's going to be a bill i can't congresswoman. >> in the house of representatives, they have 18-30 members on her staff. when she was an intern how many people did you on your staff? >> about half a dozen now i would call her a friend. >> did you teach her anythi

>> we were in the ring but we were... there was... we would have micky and dicky in there but mostly i had the mitts on, you know? i was doing the training stuff because they was a point... (laughter) >> if we don't talk about it, he's going to beat me up. he never had a chance. >> he can't, he's the brother of the competition. >> there was a point at with which we were thinking of actually filming... (laughter) >> we were at one point thinking of doing the whole sugar ray leonard and dicky fight, you know? it just didn't work out. dicky was 21 in that fight and, you know, we're not 21 any longer. so it just seemed like... you know that really... we were talking about let's do it, let's make it on the t.v., let's do it real grainy and eventually it was like why don't we just use the real footage. >> we used the actual footage of sugar ray fighting dicky and it looks enough like christian because it's blurry, bad quality. that's the biggest thing that happened in lowell was when dicky fought sugar ray leonard. >> but when you see him m

near to them deliberately aimed at the police who were obviously. trying to do their job of being thrown at them as well and a lot of use of firecrackers strained directly from inside the barricade that the police made with the protesters inside it directly aimed at police while i say that the majority of action was centered at the houses of parliament that protesters did break out also gets to regent street the main shopping streets and they themselves inside and completely vandalized shops like ship store which is on the street that this is not a new thing they've already done that's a group of protesters weekends they break into top shop that's a protest against philip green who who is the magnate. top shop he's accused by the protesters seems rightly of registering some of his companies off shore so that he doesn't have to pay tax in this country and that's seen by process as something that symbolizes what they're fighting against which is essentially the rich taking advantage of that position in order to not pay taxes which then in turn the lit

so somehow they were not in the church, they were taking this seriously. bonhoeffer was stunned by the experience and he vows to go back every single sunday he's in new york city. which he does. and he goes back not only to worship, but to teach sunday school and get involved in the lives of the african-americans. he was captivated by the race question which he had not experienced yet in germany. so bonhoeffer gets involved in the lives of the african-american there and is so fascinated by it. but one thing that happens to him in the year he's in new york, which i can't mention, especially in an audience like this, in 1981, he wants to go to the the -- to go see how they do easter. you might not know this. i will tell you. easter is when the gentiles go to church. serious christians go every sunday, but it's when the gentiles go on easter. he experienced this. he cannot go because he says it's so crowded you have to get tickets to go to easter service. being an exchange student from germany, he has no ticket. he does not -- he can't get into one of the big

you know, were important. and this issue of -- as the intelligence manipulated, was it all as good as we would hope it would be? and despite the fact that bush does admit that intelligence is never 100%, i think that bush again sort of reveals his -- for lack of a better word of naivete in the sense that he seems to decide very early on if i trust you, i trust everything that you say. if i don't trust you, i don't trust anything that you say. and i think this is where again saddam hussein may have been saying things that maybe push could have actually listened to a little differently if he were a bit more savvy. >> tevi you were nodding your head >> there were some people president bush stuck too long or promoted to positions they might not have been worthy of getting or shouldn't have gotten. and there is a sense that he was very loyal to his people and i personally felt he was very loyal to his people but on the other hand some people didn't serve him as well as they could have. >> we have this tweet here fr

i mean, if i were the chairman and my advice were being ignored or i did not think the joint chiefs were being gainfully used in this process, then i might as well resign, because i'm not helping the secretary of defense the president or the nation. >> host: did you ever offer to resign from your position? >> guest: to be frank i never had to because i was never put in that position. there were occasions toward the end of my tenure when i did in fact go up and say for example, when the secretary, your successor secretary rumsfeld wanted to fire the director of the joint staff. that i barged in and said if you fire him you get two for the price of one because if you are not happy with him you are obviously not happy with me. i haven't heard a word about that but if that is the case in both of us will leave. i feel like i didn't walk around looking for reasons to leave. i enjoyed the job and really liked the job but i also wanted to be a part of the team, not excluded from the process. >> host: but that was a case of you speaking truth to your superiors as the civilian head of the military

. >> some people were, we were. (laughter) >> look, there were loads of people who had nothing but complaints. we laughed at them. >> absolutely. >> because they didn't understand what we understood: that this guy wanted to be a great man because he knew great men mick history. and dick holbrooke wanted to make history. that really mattered to him. >> absolutely. and the people that complained, the personality traits that they complained about were usually the same personality traits that they had. they just figure out a way to be more settle about it. >> rose: that's right, there was no subtlety. >> there was no subtlety with richard. you knew where he was. >> although he thought he was subtle. >> rose: (laughs) i know, that's a great thing. he would come on this program and say "as i said on this great program, as you and i talked about" knowing that i understood he was just sort of flattering me. >> he predicted the stock market crash.

and that's just who it is. >> larry: were you addicted when you were boxing?i've always been addicted. i've always been addicted. i wasn't using drugs when i was boxing, when i started. but it was so interesting, and i said i didn't do drugs for 14 years, but i never considered alcohol would be a drug, too, but i would get drunk after every fight. i was off drugs for 14 years, but that really wasn't true. i was just lying to myself. i was drunk after every fight. >> larry: do you sti consider yourself an addict? >> yeah. yeah, i guess. >> larry: how long sober? >> probably 18 months. >> larry: so if you were born an addict, your mother an addict, that can happen in birth. >> i don't know. but i don't use that for no excuse. no way i could ever have accomplished that i accomplished. you can't help who you are or what you are. but you can sure help your conduct. >> larry: how do you avoid temptation? >> i have responsibilities in my life. i don't want to let my children down anymore. i don't want to let myself down. i don't want to let my wife down anymore. i ha

they were not elected. they were selected by the chief operating officer, whose main bottom line is economics, not justice, and they said, this is the budget you are going to be given. you either do the job with that budget, or we get someone else. are you willing to take the job? that was the condition and made bluntly. i happened to be on the panel. everybody was talking about stakeholders and how we wanted a team player. i think the culture makes the player. now you hire somebody that is going to be a team player. we need independents. i am not sure i would go with the reelection everywhere. in san francisco, you have got an intelligent electorate, but i think independence is very important. also, you have to be independent of the judges. we found they were intimately involved in selecting the people who would appear before them. we found 90% of public defenders reported judicial pressure to expedite cases. that means when you are under one staff -- understaffed and overworked, the judge says, you have e

there were two pieces that he wrote that were complimentary of the president. he believes that the tax deal that the president cut was one in which the president got more out of it than the republicans. he wrote that column a couple of weeks ago. as the signing is about to take place, he is essentially saying that if he wins reelection in 2012, we will look back to the day the announcement was made at the beginning of his comeback. i think we have a ways to go before we know the degree to which the "comeback" is taking root. host: we are with a dan balz of "the washington post." . caller: mr. obama, i am not a follower of the republicans or the independent. the next thing you hear is about is not an american. he is a socialist. he is just like teddy roosevelt, a socialist. i am having a hard time understanding what you guys are saying up there. he is an american president. he is the commander in chief of the united states. host: thank you for the call. let me take his comic and bring it back to your column. what was the --let me take this, and bring it back to

there were stadiums that were, you know, full of people, 100,000 people. they were fought at night. it was stunning to see two figures in a ring. radio was big. the rival rightss were big. these figures were sort of larger than life, and i think because of the simple fact that we have more sports now that are seen by more people and the fight game has suffered so much as far as integrity, honor, -- it's just really suffered something that hasn't been able to come back from, and thus we really don't follow fighters the way we used to follow fighters in the 50s and 60s, and i mean, that was one reason why i wanted to spend years unraveling sugar ray robinson's life. he was a big, big deal in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and yet he sort of vanished. i just think that we found other sports to watch and, you know, so many comically and tragic things have happened with fighters, heavy-weight fighters, especially over the last 15 years that it's hard to sometimes take it seriously. okay. i'll go over here. >> hi, mr. haygood. >> hi. >> first congratulations for being nominated to the 2010 award

they were getting the information that they were going to be going anywhere now they're going to trying to rectify the situation is. one of the. running we had the planes. taking off. and it's not to be affected by the. number of people in the most. affected by the. story. but the bad weather how did each of. these one. credit be dangerous to get around we've had a number of incidents people have been injured in another. three three thing and nothing. really everyone. coming up shortly on carving up the government's. other warning. for the u.s. congress to slam the pentagon over shady jet fuel deals for american military air base in the central asian republic of. fuel worth around two billion dollars was purchased for civilian use and to avoid higher tariffs it was actually from a. key supplier for the u.s. campaign in afghanistan. democracy initiative says the deal helped spark unrest that ousted the president in april. what the congressional subcommittee on national security and foreign affairs. dealt with in the report was allegations of corrupt dealings between subsidiaries of the p

health was offered and they were detained a number of other people were detained in the underground as well on this station up with a doubt metro station they were detained by riot police after they attempted to propagate them so it was a very tense day. it still seems that tensions are not completely over but at the moment everything looks calm here in moscow where st petersburg was also this was a scene for violence where you get another commemorative rally was underway there the protesters also started throwing ice and bottles at riot police a lot more policemen were immediately deployed to the area over sixty people there detained as while bringing the total number of those detained in the riots today to over a hundred and twenty that's how many people have at least on the floor behind the the instigators of the violence but not many that morning to police sources not all of them were aggressors many just came to pay their respects but it quickly got out of hand when some people decided to play out on those are the clashes between protesters and riot police let's just take a second

these were the years when the committees were becoming very active.o son of liberty wanted to see a repeat of the failure, distrust, and recrimination that followed the failure of the nonimportation agreement in 1770. the right-hander had warned that the nonimportation agreement is obligatory and all the parties to it. whoever shall or eight in the violating of it is an enemy -- enemy to commerce and liberty. william paltry who was a merchant and an inner circle some of liberty, he was traveling to new york and philadelphia to try to cement these intercolonial alliances. he writes back probably to john hancock saying you guys have to be firm on this question of the east india company. he says if by any means he should relax or fall back in any degree from europe played resolution you will be reproached among your neighbors and never more be able to retrieve the public confidence. now is the time to convince the world that the people of boston can act with virtue and revolution. you can see that somebody doubts that the bostonian were not necessarily f
