so my protagonist is someone who is an ex-jazz musician, who spent his adult years playing with black groups, he comes back to san francisco at a time when japan town is still sort of unraveling from this sort of who lives here, who doesn't live here, and he wants to find japan town again, find his own sort of home while at the same time around him his own community is looking at him as if he is a traitor. so as he says and used to say in the play, i'm on the outside of the outside. my country thinks i'm a criminal, my own community thinks i'm a traitor. how does he sort of find home for himself in america given that kind of a set up? so that's where the stories all kind of converged and my central character, where he came from and his journey and his -- his journey, what he has to go through during the course of the play. >> this central character, chet, is a very interesting one. i gather during the process there were some events that happened in contemporary news concerning a certain japanese american left tenant or aaron wataga >> yeah, lieutenant aaron wataga >> could you talk ab

so a lot of people who are advocates, who are family members, who are people in recovery, who are parents, who are providers really get together and work on this. this is september every year, and this year it's going to be "join the voices of recovery: now more than ever." i think we have an opportunity frankly, because at the federal level we have people like tom and myself and others in clear places in the federal government that believe in recovery and want to support it and an opportunity to meet with those advocates and volunteers lately, and they're-they're jazzed and ready to go. the point of it is to try and help america understand recovery, try to help people who are in recovery feel proud of that, try to help people who know somebody in recovery know how to be supportive, and, frankly, try to get people to understand how they can advocate for the services and programs that recovery needs. why is that important, tom? oh, i'll tell you one of the major reasons it's important is that people don't know what recovery is. in polls you ask normal people what is-what's recovery-they th

there is no challenge to who won. you know, the letter completely ignores the fact that unfortunately it finished last. it was as if it was second place, third place. they finished last. we have gone with the appropriate bidder. i think sending it back is actually a violation of our process. maybe not legally, but it distorts the process. this has gone through the proper process. i think we should allow that process to work. i agree with supervisor daly that we need to find a way to mend the fences, and there are ways to do that without sending this back to committee, without stopping this process. that can be done. i don't think we need to stir this up any further than it has already been stirred. this has been vetted appropriately. there is no challenge to that process. we should let this stand. supervisor chiu: colleagues, any further discussion? supervisor daly? supervisor daly: just that it is through the president, supervisor elsbernd, if there was a concrete proposal to move forward while dealing with some of t

there's, on the one hand, people who are transitionally homeless, people who spend very short periods of time in one of the emergency systems and then who basically make it out on their own, as well as people who are chronically homeless, who spend many, many years or months in homeless shelters or on the streets. and even among the chronically homeless, there are a number of people who spend primarily most of their time on the streets, as opposed to other people who spend a lot of time in homeless shelters. and then another category of people who cycle in and out of many different kinds of homeless services, as well as emergency services and institutions. and, robert, there are so many aspects to doing outreach to the homeless population. what are some of the approaches that one uses to really go out and identify these individuals? well, one of the approaches which we use is visit. we visit a lot of shelters. we visit a lot of shelters, we go to a lot of the rooms of recovery individuals, because you find a lot of individuals that are homeless that are seeking help. they tend to go t

[applause] >> i want to think on this pride weekend and assemblyman who is here who spent many years of visiting a friend of his who was a resident at laguna honda. before i bring up the next speaker, i will tell you this story are probably should not, but i am going to tell you anyway because it's so exemplifies the next speaker. i am going to ask that you imagine the scene. it is 1998. i am in the office with mayor willie brown, who i still could not find enough mr. mayors to say his name. louise comes in to discuss the future of laguna honda hospital. she had just won this huge settlement with the tobacco company. she was the first of any local city attorney to join in that lawsuit. at the time, a lot of people were arguing tobacco companies would overwhelm us. there will be all of these freedom of information act. you should not do it. she stood bravely and did it. she said to the mayor, and i will never forget -- she said "we have this opportunity. we can either use this money to rebuild laguna honda or we can pass it away -- piss it away." that was the exact quote.

people who are with us and people who are against us.g a war with islam. they don't understand, people like sarah palin want a war with islam. that's what it says in the bible. bring it on. let's get it over with. that's who could be running our country in two years. >> larry: what do you make of the rumor that hillary clinton and joe biden will switch jobs? >> oh, i thought you were going to say something else. i haven't heard that rumor. >> larry: that's a bona fide rumor in washington. think of it. do you think it would increase the chance of the president to win? puts up hillary clinton and joe biden as secretary of state. >> they're two democratic war horses i'm sure they could do any job. hillary seems to have really fallen into her groove there in the state department. >> larry: it's just one of those things that is political talk in an off year. you know. >> but this isn't an off year. this is a really fascinating time because, again, we live in these two different realities. i don't think it's ever been like this. i know there's

were not japanese american, who were african american, who were a variety of folks who were aware of the experience and in some way were making it part of their own life, exactly what we're talking about. how do you make something that happened 65 years ago relevant to young people today so that there is something to be learned from it, that there is something that can be taken from it. that's what's so interesting about the exhibition. it's called if they came for us today -- am i saying it correctly? if they came for me today? which is a great, great title. that accomplishes that. because that's the key to me, how do you take an event that happened 65 years ago that was so important in terms of american history -- that's the thing, it's such a critical moment where the constitution was really tested. how do you keep it relevant in terms of its history to today and make sure that in some way it's related to cases like the aaron watata case or what happens after post-911? that to me is the tricky thing is how do you keep it alive and my hope is with the play that in some way it takes

if the people who ousted her were in the primary and people who vote in primaries are not people whould be a different electorate. she has a good feel for that. >> greta: she used the same of senator ted stephens. everyone seizes upon that name. >> right the think about ted stevens, if you are from alaska, republican or democrat, he was alaska, essentially. i think people identify with stevens, regardless of their political party because he delivered so much for the state. >> greta: now to your article. don't mock the tea party, why? >> this is not me saying i love the tea party. it is more saying they are not a joke. and they've been treated like a joke. the fact of the matter is, they are a serious movement. they have the potential to be -- they are very serious now and they have the potential to be more serious. i compare them to the goldwater movement. these are people who are very dissatisfied and very organized. i just read a book, a great job describing the tea party and helps you understand how much the press misrepresents them. i think you know that from being out talking to

and lastly, someone -- someone who hasn't been acknowledged who deserves to be acknowledged or who has been acknowledged in passing but hasn't been acknowledged for her vea valuable contribution to the artwork of the community is fran martin and her husband jim grouden. -- who have -- have -- who have volunteered their time without compensation from the city. volunteered their time and effort and materials to beautyify the neighborhood in various ways through -- through beautiful tile work you see and gate ways and railings and through butterfly and dragonflies. so thank you for your beautiful work, what a gift to the city and a gift to the neighborhood, and glad i have this opportunity to thank you publicly. so in concluding, i'll say i hope visitors and residents do to downtown visitation valley with enjoy our exubebrapt bright bouquet for generations to come. thank you so much. >> thank you. for this whole project is obviously a great benefit for all of san francisco. the primary beneficiaries are the folks here in viz valley, along this corridor. as primary beneficiaries, they were

who can go home on the days to come. and who has to start life all over again, is really just beginning. so we'll try to find more video to tell the story from that aspect. until then, we will send it back to frank. >> as we take a look at these live pictures. we're going to kind of set the scene for you here and recap what happened. all of this started around 6:00 tonight with this massive explosion. we've seen learned that it was a gas line that ruptured. the flames were shooting 200 or 300 feet into the air. the numbers that we have. we have new numbers tonight giving us a sense of just how devastating this fire was. calfire reports tonight that 53 homes in this neighborhood were lost more than 120 others were damaged and some of the hardest hit areas clairmont drive,fairmont drive. places in that area. the bottom line here is, this is just a disaster area. >> and we've learned that 10 acres has burned, 50% of the fire is contained, according to calfire at this hour. again, this is all coming starting a little after 6

>> i think it depends on who you are. the biggest divide i see in who gets served with what news is actually a class divide. i feel like if you are middle or upper middle class wealthy, the way that news, particularly--take something like economic news that we all care about--is tailored and targeted for you, depending on demographic. >> mm-hmm. >> if you don't have a certain income level, you might as well be invisible, and that's the biggest divide i see. so there's not a lot of news in the public interest that's really from a more grass-roots perspective. >> dan, you've been very critical in the past of some aspects of the news, to include your alma mater, cbs news, where there have been a lot of job cuts, where a lot of the correspondents who used to work overseas, report for your broadcast, no longer exist. is cbs or these other organizations that have cut all these jobs really still capable of serving the public interest? >> they are capable of doing so, and you've touched on what i think is the important point not

how do you go forward with all these people who are fired up, who are going to the polls, who are spending money and raising money. what does the gop do in the big picture with these folks? >> that's the one line that republicans have in november, chris. you look at the people who got out to vote in alaska and the people who got out to vote in new hampshire. you have a lot of conservatives that are fired up. i think the message that the republican leadership behind me should receive is that people are angry and they had enough and that the republicans can win not only in the house, but in the senate, as well, if they recognize they have to listen to these people and have a smaller government and more responsive. >> it doesn't sound like they're listening to them and it doesn't sound like the gop leadership is listening. >> kind of distance themselves, ron. >> carl is a good friend of mine, i'm not going to insult him. my opinion differs from his. >> and -- >> one thing i will say is that i do think the sort of gray h r haired men of the republican party should be very careful to attack som

but who is behind the wave and who is likely to get flopped?hristine o'donnell this week's big winner in the delaware senate primary thinks she knows. she was in washington to address the value voters summit. >> the elite don't get us, they call us wacky, they call us wing nuts, we call us "we the people." gwen: defeated republicans like delaware's mike castronevesle, bob bennett and murkowski are trying to figure out what happened. and also arlen specter and struggling incumbents like ohio governor ted strickland and president obama himself who knows he must convince voters the economy can improve. >> we stop the bleeding, stabilize the economy but the fact of the matter is the pace of improvement is not where it needs to be. and the hole we had dug ourselfs in was enormous. gwen: the scary truth appears to be rattled voters appear to lash out at lots of people for lots of reasons. let's go through some of the reasons here, panel. starting with you, john. >> the economy. i'll take the easiest, biggest target, the economy is bad and affecting p

as a result of that, her attorneys in the civil suit were able to depose terry hobbs, who's -- who hasth mr. hobbs. he was deposed. he swore he never saw the three boys on that day. and as a result of the publicity around that, independent and very credible witnesses have come forward who have offered testimony and evidence that the last person who was with these three boys in the minutes before they disappeared was terry hobbs. and that's a piece of evidence that had never been discovered by the investigating authorities, who really didn't look at any other suspects other than these three defendants. so natalie made an enormous contribution by being sued by -- for defamation. >> larry: do the police -- is there any concept where the police could now do a full investigation of mr. hobbs? >> the investigating authorities have said that as far as they're concerned the case is settled and done. >> back when, you know, the initial investigation was going on no -- hardly anybody was interviewed. it took 15 years for, you know, me to get sued and for that element to play into it before the s

who's missing? and the one that was obvious to us is where do kids hang out if they're not in school? some of them stay at home, but we also know that a lot of the kids roam the streets and they go around commercial areas. so this now goes to the next level of saying, ok, now what are we going to do? this is something that needs to happen. if we want to turn this around, and i think we can, the results are in from last year, where it's a 30% increase on improving our attendance in our school district. i think we can get it to the point where it will be a model for the entire country. this doesn't happen by itself. it's been great to partner. this is the start of my fourth year, and we've had such a great partnership with the mayor. i'm stealing the show, but it really is my honor to scombruse i think a world class mayor here in san francisco gavin newsom.

apparently, it was people who knew him and who absorbed who he was who taught obama community organizing or something like that. obama at one point actually wrote a paper in which he discusses alinsky. alinsky seems to have had an important influence on his life. it is clear just listening to the man that community organizing had an enormous influence on his life. whether or not he did it well, that is another story. that does not really matter, it still will teach you something. >> when did you meet him, and how old were you? >> i was a brash young man of about 22 years of age, something like that. i met him because i had tried to start, or had started, an organization in chicago of puerto ricans and some other spanish-speaking people who were being kicked around in a rundown neighborhood in chicago. so i started this organization, which very shortly went way over my head and i really did not know what i was doing. i was just feeling my way, and of course it was costing a lot of money, which i did not have. so luckily, i had run into a catholic priest who started running around trying t

those who serve as mentors for the young people who work meaning to found in new organization. but what is fascinating in a commentary on the consvative movement at the time is that five of the senior conservatives, quote on quote, were all in their thirties. frank was 34, bill buckley at his home of course the meetings were being held, had reached the ripe age of 35. vic mali own, head of the intercollegiate society of individualists, as it was then called, was 36. and both bill rusher and more than a policeman or the old men in the organization of referred to as oafs, old americans for freedom. i must confess that this point is hard to remember when i was in my thirties and yet these were the ol men of the conservative movement of 1960. the only one who was an exception was to charles edison the former new jersey governor who served as secretary of the navy under franklin delauro roosevelt, and was true of the senior citizen and a mentor to the organization. but even though these so-called senior conservatives were present, indeed give some remarks and some encouragement, the

there will be 7,000 folks who would not be working who are now working.of those people may have gone to your restaurant and will have a meal. we're making some progress but have a long way to go. yes? >> there we go. republican john mitchell was quoted recently about what should be done about climate change. his response was, it should be ignored, flat-out ignored. how do we convince -- how do we convince these people that climate change is real and it's our greatest challenge of the human race? >> thank you. with regard to the issue of climate change -- and i'm on both the environmental and energy committee so i get involved in these things a little bit. on one hand, you have virtually every major scientific organization in america and in the world that believes that, a, global warming is real, and, b, in almost all likelihood it is created by human beings through carbon emissions. so on one side -- and then on top of that you have the cia and the defense department recognizing the reality of global warming and the cia will tell you that is perhaps the n

so, who is coming? well, let me show you because there's a lot of the usual suspects here, but you really need to know who everybody is. first of all, green for all, who is that? that of course is our communist revolutionary friend 9/11 truther van jones and then there is jim wallace the marxist preacher for the president and then you have sciu who is the former member of sds. who is also now under investigation by the fbi for-- i'm sorry, andy stern is under investigation with the fbi for corruption. then you have of course, the national council of la razza, la razza, what is la razza, translation, the race. then color of change, this is just another one of the communist van jones organizations. in fact, this is the first organization that boycotted this show. we have four, this guy's organization has also been boycotting the show. we have four organizations boycotting this program right now and van jones before he started this one, he got involved in this one. and i've asked you to read about storm. d

who is far too conservative.ost: charlie cook wrote that it seemed a mathematical possible -- in possibility that republicans could score at 10 seats. but he is saying that it is not out of the realm of possibility now. guest: it is not out of the realm of possibility, but it is still unlikely. republicans would have to win in states they have not typically one. states like washington, a state by california or wisconsin, where russ feingold is running for reelection. democrats have a fire wall that republicans will need to barge through to take control of the senate. host: why is russ feingold in trouble? the president is going there tomorrow. will the senator be with him? guest: they have a better opportunity because they have a self-funded candidates, who is spending a lot of money. he is going on the airwaves heavily. he will be difficult to defeat. polls show the race very close. host: los angeles. our independent line. good morning. what is your question or comment? caller: i am listening to this about econo

land use is a very important decision on who gets to live here and who does not.a much affordable housing we're building here. -- how much affordable housing are rebuilding here? are we working on access to health care and child care? that is a big determinant of who gets to live and work here. i want someone who gets beyond the buzz words and get deeper into what it will take to do community building. there are candidates not here at the table that i also like as well. it is really about housing, health care, child care, creating safe and sustainable neighborhoods. those are the types of candidates that i will be looking to support. >> mr. kelly? >> some of you might know my next-door neighbor, dick miller. he is voting for me, marlene tran, and ms. jackson. i want to give a shout out to others. there are a bunch of neighborhood candidates not here at the table tonight. there are candidates at the supper table. we know there are folks who've moved into the district to run. that is fine. that is democracy at work. i have no problem with that. we do need to ask one

across the country, the debate continues between those who welcome the new law, and those who warn of what's to come. seven-year-old thomas wilkes will no longer have caps put on his coverage. he's one of 20,000 americans the white house says will be helped by the new ban. while he looks perfectly healthy, thomas need invaconvenience medications every day to treat severe hemophilia. a deadly blood-clotting disorder. >> most of the cost of our care is in the medication and it's medication he needs to survive and live a happy life, a productive life. without it he'd risk complications of bleeding in his joint, severe arthritis. he basically would become disabled before he's a teenager. >> reporter: dad nathan wilkes says the injections are over $1,000 a day. without them, he could develop a bleed in some part of his body that could be fatal. >> his cost, depending on the year could be anywhere from half a million to a million dollars a year. >> reporter: thomas has reached the maximum lifetime caps on two different insurance policies, so at one point, nathan and his wife, sanjay were de

liberals who hated ronald reagan. conservatives who hated bill clinton. liberals who hated george walker bush. a lot of it is animated by simply wanting to not just send a message to barack obama but stop him from doing things they don't like. most of which fall under that umbrella of spending. >> rose: because they think what about obama, vin? >> a lot of republicans, a lot of conservatives-- both in government and down at the grass-roots level-- genuinely think that the president when he uses the word "transform" or "transformation" which he does often is trying to turn the country into something very fundamentally different than they want to see it. i guess the short hand phrase, charlie, people often use is a european socialist state. i don't like that phrase. it implies other things. but something very different than most conservatives and republicans view as their vision of america. and the health care bill is sort of the epitome of that and there's a widespread feeling among republicans and conservatives that if that is fully implemented we will be

>> we have a lady who is in our bank right now who says that her husband and children are being helday. her husband and family -- >> yes. they're tied up, she said. they told her they wouldn't hurt anybody if she got back there with the money. she believes them. >> reporter: the suspects, stephen hayes and his accomplice, took jennifer hawke-petit back home and sexually assaulted her before killing her. they set fire to the house, killing 17-year-old hayley and 11-year-old michaela. the two suspects crashed into a police cruiser, trying to flee in petit's minivan, and were taken into custody. stephen hayes and joshua komisarjevsky, who's awaiting trial, could get the death penalty. richard cantu, abc news. >>> tropical storm carl is back into t of his carl blew across mexico's yucatan peninsula yesterday, dumping heavy rains on the region's tourist reso the storm is expected to gain strength and slam back into kenength and slam back into meanwhile, hurricanes igor and julia continue to churn out there in the atlantic. igor is now a cat 4 storm and could hit bermuda directly this week

who is mentally ill and a mental facility. -- who is mentally ill in a mental facility. >> i am sorry to interrupt. if you could bring it to a close in the next few minutes. thank you. >> the second issue is that there is a lot on the books called "laura's law"that allows us to provide intensive outpatient treatment. this is not in place in san francisco county. this is something we're trying to expand throughout the state. my take-home message is that there are a lot of problems with the system. people might be pointing fingers at each other. is it the fault of law enforcement, the psychiatrist? whose fault is it? why are we having all of these problems? i want to conclude that the system is broken. the mental health system is not modernized or structured properly to provide the best care for patients. it will take frontline people what clinicians, law enforcement, and judges working with policymakers to improve the system and provide high-quality care for our mentally ill citizens. >> thank you, dr. quanbeck. to have any questions from the board? >> dr. mary ann jones. >> based on y

this is coming from republicans who are dubbed sandhogs, to start being completely cavalier boat -- who are being dead hogs -- debt hogs, to start being completely cavalier. the british prime minister said you cannot jump across a country. that is what we tried to do with the stimulus bill. we try to actually solve the foreclosure problem with measures that were inadequate. tavis: i know that the huffington post had pieces of regularly, talking about why elizabeth warren should have got in the position. she got an appointment from the president to just a few days ago. your assessment on the position that she now has, which is not the head of that bureau, so to speak? >> well, i am actually very optimistic about this appointment. she is not a permanent head. she is the interim head, which has some benefits, which is to recognize the urgency of the problem, so instead of sidelining her and going through a lengthy process, she can start working right now because of the clause in the bill that allows that to happen. she is also going to be a direct adviser to the president, and this happens

crime, people who are out of work. part of the message has to become it seems to me, going back to the sources of crime, not from an economic point of view, if you want to save money, you should do things that effectively will fight crime, as opposed to making you feel tougher and stronger. also, if you can get part of the message out that it is a tragedy when anyone is wrongfully convicted, for that person, for their family and friends, but the other part is, if there are wrongfully convicted, there is somebody out there who is actually the criminal. part of the message has to be financial. we have been told for years people vote with their pocketbooks, so you have to make a financial analysis. i am certain it would save an enormous amount of money. it also have to get people to understand by making the criminal justice system work, you make yourself safer. not just by feeding your ego or feeding your prejudice, let's get them, let's get them. you never know when you are going to be one of them.
