are driving you have to get out. water. how much water do you need for 72 hours? if you use the hot water heater you have to turn off the gas. if you don't stop the gas it will light up and cause a little explosion or fire. vegetables. the back of the tank you go up and treat water with bleach. but remember, it should be a fresh pot of bleach. once you open bleach it looses the effectiveness of the bleach. one capful for a gallon of water. wait 20 minutes. wash your hands. wait a half-hour, to drink it, tastes like pool water but it kills germs. >> what kind of food do you want to keep? open the fridge don't open it too much. eat all perishable food first. you want to save emergency supplies. what emergency supply food do you want to /kaoepl. keep? energy bars. dry food. canned vegetables. can corn, can peas, you can drain that and drink the water and eat the vegetables. buy can food that you eat normally. and a can opener. first aid kit, have 3. have you a small one in the car, have a nice sized one for home and make sure y

if you have children or something, you might want to have an overflow. if you are comfortable having one without, then you would have that choice. >> i was particularly intrigued by this sink. i know the manufacturers were up this year. this is made out of some extremely heavy duty class. here is bob, who is the rep from oceana who manufactures this thing. this is not the type of sync that would set on top. it recesses. what is this made of? >> it is actually made of glass. it is a company in pittsburgh, and it is an extremely durable class. they actually do the globe in chicago for a recovery like standards. >> and outdoor material in chicago has to withstand the heat of chicago and the cold -- the heat of summer and cold >> of winter > exactly. this piece comes in about 12 different colors. it has a backing to it, to. you cannot see through it, but it gets a lot of light back through it, so you could actually back like it if you want. >> we really like all these different styles. some of these that sit on top have advantages as well as disadvantages --

to see what you are permitted to have. before you get further involvement in a restaurant the first thing you have to do is see if it's allowed in this location. in many cases you will need to get a conditional use or other authorization which takes months and expensive and can be a deal killer right there. all these other agencies are involved the fire department are involved they are involved in assembly occupancies with an occupant load of 50 or more. the building department looks at construction reasonable doubted things the fire department looks at fire and life safety regarding exiting and sprinklers. health department is involved and permitting and inspection. the entertainment commission, this is a new change within the last 5 years or so where any restaurant wants to have live entertainment or a dj or anything defined as entertainment by the city -- is it in the -- i don't remember the add min code, i believe for the entertainment commission. have you to get a special permit. and this is sometimes difficult to do b

you have to maintain it. you have to have a program first to evaluate it. is this what we wanted? pick up the stuff that's not quite right, you thought it was ok but not. so we have to do post construction evaluation and then we have to have a maintenance program. you've got to maintain them. these houses do not maintain themselves. and much of the work that we see coming in for small permit work in the department of building inspection are things that are related to maintenance. people want to rebuild a deck or they need to fix the bathroom and put new materials and tile and so on and a lot of that work is work that could be -- extend the life of what you have if it had been properly maintained. not to say we don't like you to do bork in your homes, we -- to do work in your homes, but maintenance will help home repair. i have some slides here. let's take a quick peak here -- peek here. we'll look at the outside buildings first and inside buildings next. outside buildings are typical maintenance issues. a whole plethora of maintenance issues. the siding, the windows, the doors, the

others have said different amounts. can you come with fox and figures to make the population know -- the facts and figures to make the population know what we're going to spend and why? >> we have been clear about the budget numbers for these. the important point to remember is these are 5 to 10 years down the road. why is the opposition making an issue of this now? they need money today to pay for promises the country cannot afford. you cannot pay for promises today by canceling an aircraft purchase five or 10 years from now. >> if we have the corporate tax rate 18%, which can invest in learning. we can give every single person who wants to attend university in learning pass for it. that is a billion dollar investment in post-secondary investment. the viewer cannot understand poor economic management. >> you are not able to invest in health care, services, and education by raising taxes. you do that are growing the economy. that is the way you create tax revenue. that is what canada is doing. the tax rates we have today were s

all you have to do is be able to get to the work station. it doesn't say, like lawrence was saying, that you actually have to use it. what a person's needs, what dultz he require in order for him to use that space. >> my work station in my office next door, i had to have the computer screen lowered because of some vision issues and we all adjust our work stations based on our private needs. some people have to request that their employer help meet those needs and the employer is required to take reasonable measures to help them and in this andout it has the ada standards for that. >> so the code makes distinctions between an individual work station that can be modified to meet an individual's need and a general employee area that needs to be accessible to all. >> here is a guy's work station at a sign company here in san francisco. what's interesting is he is inserting little braille symbols on signs. so here is a sign, it's a sign that says women's room and it shows the international symbol of accessibility as well and then it has these litt

you don't have to give us things that are not required. if you give us extra information we will look at it. don't give us extra information give us what's necessary. what is necessary includes; this is out of the building code, space layout. the use of all the areas have to be shown on plans. you can't have undesignated rooms or areas. all the disabled access features must be shown. a state law in the state building code. how to gain entrance from the parking to the restaurant. through the restaurant, bathrooms serving the area of remodel or the restaurant. any phones and drinking fountains all have to be shown. structural plans details energy codeup grade r50ir789 have to be detailed the energy codes are strict like disabled access codes. they are turning to the green building codes. we will see new green building requirements for san francisco. now the california energy code fills the space of green building requirements. fire department where you have an occupant load of 50 or more and the occupant load is not the patrons it's based on

how about your situation, do you have all your people? do you have all the resources that you need? have you collected all the material that you need if you are going to start doing a lifting exercise because someone is trapped? because you never start a rescue, you never start a lifting exercise, never start anything, unless you know you are going to be able to finish it, have enough of the resources to do it. and do you have the right equipment? you need specialized equipment? do you have access to that? maybe, maybe not. so size up, you want to establish your priorities, make your decisions. you want to come up with a plan and after you have a plan, you want to take action. remember, it's continuous fact gathering process. you want to evaluate your progress. there are 50 percent of the people can be rescued by who? this is where you come in for the next 30 percent to make it 80 percent of the people. the next 30 percent of the people can be rescued by you people. then there's another 15 percent, that's where the fire department comes in, or the sheriff's department, people who are

for me, you inspire me. i have done this for a fraction of the time that you have. i want to be like you when you grow up. [applause] >> thank you all for the kind and wonderful words. at this time, we're going to have -- yes, ma'am? >> a good evening. we have fought such a fight to get here. and when i got here, the first speaker was speaking. i know that she sits there, and if i was in this house, i would have to say something. i knew her from the beginning to the ending. i knew her as a christian woman. not only as an educator, but a christian woman educator. she demonstrated that in the church like she did in the school. god is a blessing us. he is a blessing you throughout this whole community, the whole city of san francisco. the that you have brought this through the community and the educational part of the city, i can tell you, it stands for something. your father, your mother, they are looking down on you, what a blessing. and the knees, we all just come up together. they have not been there for 67 years. [laughter] and i think they know me. i will tell yo

you have to love your team. to a man on this team, to a man back in august, you fuel and energized this group all the way through september, and through the epic month of october, and what is one glorious day in november. you have but one responsibility, and you owe it to the person that taught you the good book of the san francisco giants. you need to pass this story on. keep this love alive. when you tell the story, simply tell them, we are the giants. we are san francisco. we of the world champions -- we are the world champions! [applause] >> please welcome tim lincecum, brian wilson, and matt cain! [applause] before they come up, i want to say one thing. before the last game, we were having in texas, and he said, this story has been written. please welcome brian wilson. >> i am not a man of many words. i did not really know what to say. i am having a mini-heart attack. maybe it is the smell of prop 19. i am not sure. thank you all. you are etched in history. you had our backs from day one. i would also like t

-- could you step up, please? >> i have a humble gift for pg&e from the physical education department of san francisco unified school district. we want to present you with this black for -- plaque for everything you're doing for the students of the san francisco unified school district. [applause] and we have one last plaque we would like to give to first tee of san francisco. this would not be possible if it were not for the folks who are doing a great deal of work to coordinate with our departments so all of you young adults here, please remember that today is your day, and a great deal of effort went into with to make it happen. from our department and san francisco unified school district, we would like to present this. thank you, sandy, very much. greg thank you. [applause] >> i have a voice problem. you have got to be grateful. [unintelligible] [laughter] [applause] >> thank you very much. i do want to acknowledge the president of the san francisco unified school district board of education. thank you for being here,

commissioners, do you have any questions? do you have anything? >> i just want to address the permit officer's comments. things are taken care of. they have been taken care of or will be taken care of. president newlin: ok. vice chair joseph: the one that deals with minors, you are not letting them in anyway, are you? ok. commissioner meko: they take less than 25% of the space, and they are not the point of your business, just an added feature to improve your business. you are not opening a pool parlor or a pinball house where anything like that? ok. so it is really a minor consideration, so long as you do not have it lined up with this. president newlin: any public comment? >> hello, again. i am -- henry mandel. these gentlemen are also my neighbors, and i have also been to chaps many times, and i look forward to visiting again and using these machines. personally, i think it is a big bureaucratic to allow bar owners who want to do something like this to come and vote for a hearing, with all due respect. president newlin: 80. ok, any other public

if you have concerns about it, please come and see me. i would like to convey those to the landlord here so that it does not happen again. thank you. >> good afternoon, everyone. i have had the very fortunate opportunity to meet mayor bloomberg from new york, of course, and, of course, reminded them that both of my daughters, he needs to take care of them because they are studying graduate school in new york, and to welcome him here to san francisco. obviously, we have a lot in common because we are both makers of big cities with very complicated populations and a lot of things happening, but wanted to take the opportunity to welcome mayor bloomberg here to san francisco. immediately, we talked about a passion we both have, and that is golf, so i wanted to present him with a ++in exchange, he mie something for me relative to golf, but, mayor bloomberg, welcome to san francisco. running a very big, complicated city like new york, and at present to you, mayor bloomberg. >> thank you, mr. mayor, and thank you for the hospitality that the peop

how many of you have seen someone faint? they get bad news or cut their foot and did you need a doctor to tell you there is something wrong with the person? and you don't need to be a pro- and when someone is facing that shock and facin face fainting i way of telling you to lie down and signs and symptoms of shock confusion. disoriented, unconscious and skin pale and moist and pulse rapid and you have a problem here and you are nausea and thirsty or you can be thirsty and then nausea and here is a bottle of water and then they get nausea and they throw up an they're having trouble and they go unconscious and throw up. not so good. people die that way. the rule is nothing by mouth in the prehospital field and nothing by mouth and the treatment for shock is remarkably simple. lay them down and raise the fee about a foot and keep them warm and they're chilly and the brai doesn't feel it and they will feel cold and you want to keep them warm. your patient is never shiver an first thing is always seeing safety and don't go rushing

you have another example. you have the revolution of 1989. we had fears and we had hope and hope prevailed in eastern europe and in central europe thank god because of america, because of pope john paul ii. >> rose: i have to go back to ben. ben, you've been listening to this, will you settle it for he? >> there's no settling. this is something that the arab revolutionings that we've seen beginning in tunisia in january as we're looking into unknown territory. it's very hard to predict. but certainly what we've seen is this outpouring of emotion, of ideals that we haven't seen in the middle east and the arab world i don't think ever and it's hard to predict where it's going. we should hope for the best. what i saw in tunisia, what i saw in tahrir square in egypt was something that gives me great hope. yes, there's the possibility for instance in egypt that the muslim brotherhood could hijack the revolution but what i saw was thousands of young people who are not members of the muslim brotherhood, who are not even supporters of the muslim broth

you have it in front of you. immediately report vandalism to my landlord when it appears in my building. if you are a renter, certainly. check it off. remove graffiti vandalism from my property within 48 hours. if you own your property, it works. they tend not to come back. check that one off if you are a homeowner. teach the children in my life that is wrong to write for make marks on other people's property. if you have children in your family, or any children you know, check that one. join the graffiti what or adopt a street and help remove graffiti vandalism in my neighborhood. you might consider that. support and a graffiti legislation by writing or making phone calls to elected officials. please check that one off. that is how this democratic republic of ours works. everyone is involved in the process. i will serve on a jury for a graffiti vandalism case. i hope you check that one because it will help prosecute vandals. i want to to complete that pledge. maybe you did not do it all right now, but make sure

you. we have interesting weather you have to confront in the north bay. we have foggy conditions, down to a quarter mile visibility in santa rosa. now, it's drifting south. the visibility readings are coming down. it's clear inland. the fog will come in from the pacific. close to the coast this morning, add a little extra trip time to get to your destination safely. 49 in oakland. 50 in hayward. it's on the cool side. down right cold in gilroy, 39 and 38 in napa now. as we head toward noon, mild conditions developing across the bay area. 60s in the south bay. upper 50s for the north bay. 70s later on. 67 degrees in livermore. for you up in santa rosa, after we lose the fog and cloud cover, you'll be able to hit 71 degrees. comfortable conditions today. rain creeps in for the holiday weekend. we will break it down for you and time it out perfectly to plan the holiday outdoor activities. let's get you to work now. mike inouye, how is it looking? >> it was looking great. now, not so much. plan for this. we see slowing on 58 over there, highway 4. it's not a b

you do not have to buy the whole program. you do not have to hire them to do the whole building. you can say, "i would like to consult with you for an hour or two hours. that makes it very reasonable. you get a lot out of it when someone really knows what they're looking at. >> as long as you say up front -- some people will say that they might sell it. we are happy to go to people so we might be known. an hour of our time would be well spent in getting to know you and your house. we will give you advice for who to call. we have a good database of people. we are always asked to give it out. >> they have tremendous experience in doing what you're talking about. i do think that is an important resource to call. >> let us talk about what the assessor reporter does when you do improvements to your building. if you look at page 36 on the handout, we have some information from the assessor reporter's office, things that are a sensible and things that are not accessible -- things that are assessable and that are not asssessable. there will be addressed for tax purposes. for every edition

a device that's not harmful to the network, if you have got information that you want to have access to that's lawful, there is to be transparency in terms of your engagement, you should no exactly what you're signing up for, all of these things are important to me. so i felt comfortable with the vote i took. i felt comfortable with the reason why i took that vote. i see the power of an open internet. i see how it's enhanced communities. i see the millions and millions of persons who now do business online who the economic basis has been lifted because of this experience, because it doesn't matter if they have a big shop. they don't have to spend money for rent in order to deal in commerce. it is the great equalizer. so i am very comfortable with the decision. again, it goes back to what howard mentions. sometimes we see things differently in terms of the particulars of a decision, but i think all in all, we want a robust engagement. we want consumer comfort, because if you have consumer comfort and you have a healthy economic exchange, then everybody wins. i think clear signals do t

you have to have -- you know, at the bottom of the scaffolding they have those little things you twist that raise and lower the scaffolding stanchion and they have arms that stick out. those arms have to be along the path of travel so you don't trip on them. there are height requirements which in this case you can see somebody has hung a cone down from the top which is now impeding the height requirement. very odd. but we look very closely at this. there are many cases, however, where construction work -- here is a pg&e job -- where it's not fixed construction, they just put their cones and their signs wherever they want, more or less. >> the risk with that, too, is when the sidewalk is blocked it's going to be driving people out into the street where they are likely to get hit by cars. even a temporary construction site like this is supposed to be maintaining an accessible path of travel, even if it means taking a curb lane, taking a parking lane, out of operation so you can safely walk down the street. >> that path of travel is a minimum 4 foot wide path of travel. it's in the buildi

agenda but i have the right to tell you once you set it, you have to stick to it. and after making statements about the fact that you appreciate public comment doesn't hold very well when you take actions that actually preclude the public from making those comments. when you did this back in september and i came back and i stayed around for four hours to call it to your attention, that was when you tried to tell me i wasn't allowed to talk about it. six out of the seven of you are attorneys and you must have some education in constitutional law and you know that you can't make up silly rules to tell a member of the public that they are not allowed to talk about certain things that they feel affect this board, its operations, its policies or procedures. we have been through this over and over again. what you have learned to do, you have learned to manipulate the agenda, force the people who are members of the public out. the first reason is six out of the seven of you are attorneys and since the charters say it is to make up the community, i have a hard time to under

you have to have years, right, to look back? you couldn't have written this at age 30. tavis: no doubt about it. i have come to accept failure as a friend. i didn't think it was a freand. when i ran for city council here in l.a., i came out here to work for tom bradley, i thought i was going to be an elected official, i thought i would be barack obama back in the day. a senator from indiana, my home state, i wanted to go back to indiana and run for the u.s. senate. politics was my first love. when i ran for that city council seat in l.a. and lost, i thought, at 26, my life was over. i did not see the failure as a friend÷ then. now, imagine if i won that city council seat, i might still be filling potholes on sunset opposed to sitting here talking to larry king. >> can you therefore accept failure today or are you beyond it? tavis: lord no. you have to accept failure. the whole point of the book is that i believe you can fail up. i don't know anyone who hasn't failed their way to the top. i mentioned barack obama, our president, a moment ago. when barack obama ran for t

have to make. some of the bigger changes, and you do not have this problem because you are both a city and county -- the city and county and school districts are going to have to merge some facilities and colocate some of our efforts and try not to duplicate efforts. and something we have been pioneering -- i have been holding joint cabinets with the school district. we are actually going to share some facilities. we're going to share some staff, and we are going to relocate some current staff to make the city safer. in a few weeks, we are going to make a pledge to open up rex centers, libraries, and high school gyms in some of the toughest neighborhoods until 10:00 or midnight in parts of east oakland where we have the highest rates of crime and violence. >> you have been involved in the conversations with business leaders, civic leaders, labor leaders of by how san francisco is going to wrestle its own pension problem down. looking at those talks, how likely is it that, particularly on the labor side, that enough changes are going to be agreed to make a real difference in the problem? >> i am ext

a uniform you've got quite the military fetish glenn beck i'm disappointed to see you go because you have brought a lot of good knowledge to the attention of the american people about freedom and the constitution however to real libertarians there's some of barry offensive about you. the fact that you call yourself a libertarian river your truth or attack on debra medina in the texas governor's race debra medina was the real libertarian the race against rick perry perry and paid bailout hutchison and glenn beck sabotaged her campaign for the record glenn i'm not a truth and neither is the ever but i'm a skeptic and if you believe the government conspiracy theory on nine eleven without question that you're not just some patriotic yourself glenn you're going to paris and it's real libertarians we don't need our own and we can live up to the american dream without your knee on the car theist muslim fear mongering comedy and demagoguery both love one liners jon stewart or should i say jonathan stewart for you it's made you just want didn't want people to know that your brother is the see all

. >> you have lived in san francisco for awhile. why did you decide to live here? supervisor campos: i have always felt that san francisco is unique. i have always loved this city. i think that san francisco is -- it represents the best of what this country has to offer. it is a place that welcomes people from all over the world, from all over the country, and is a place that not only tolerates, but actually increases diversity. it is a place that is forward thinking in terms of how it looks at issues, and it has always felt like home. as a gay latino man, i felt this was a place where i could be happy. >> why did you get involved? supervisor campos: i think a lot of the past to do with my being an immigrant. i am very grateful for all the opportunities this country has given me. only in this country could someone like me have an opportunity to go from having nothing to go to stanford, harvard law school, and to be an attorney. it really is a way of giving back. i really believe that when you are blessed with the opportunities that this country gives you, that you h

this is what you have to deal with. once you dealt with people, then you would respond to other incidents. what is the mission of the fire department? save lives, protect property. life is much more important than property. all right, let's move on. so we've dealt with the people. once we dealt with the people incidents, they will now do property. so no particular order now. there's no particular order, we're just going to discuss this. a building is fully involved in fire. people have been reported missing. what can you do as nerts, as a nert team? rope it off, cordon it off. what else? good, runner to the fire department. do you have the tools and skills to extinguish a major fire? no, you don't. notify the erd, evacuate -- assist the fire department if we get there, but don't become a victim. smell of gas. what can you do as nerts? turn off the gas. and what are the 3 situations when you want to shut the gas off? smell the gas, something -- oh, yeah, wheels are spinning and major building collapse. muni -- overhead mu

have a playbook? >> guest: no. what you need to do is have some memory of these events. >> host: that leaves out a lot of 30-year-old 10 under. >> guest: can i shut you about something? i will tell you this analogy. once when robert kennedy was campaigning, he was being heckled mercilessly. this was in omaha. the minute he got up, robert kennedy turned to his wife and said ethel, the feeling the vote in nebraska is not going to be unanimous. have no illusion, although when my stephen caldera parents emerges, who knows? but i think it is true, a book like this, you have to have some knowledge of american politics. if you are not at all interested in politics, you have no sense of this, probably not. fortunately for me, or potential audiences, tens of millions of people who have enough knowledge knowledge and just in talking about the book this first week, for people who care about american contemporary and american politics the reaction has been gratifying. they get this. >> host: it is in delightful book. i will say that. i

he didn't have answers so what do you want from me. m going to lose my house because we don't do everything. >> we have nothing. >> so dream big and count your blessings. >> dream big and bigger. i think the coming in ten years and that is also when i look about the debate, about the economy in the united states. the united states actually was all the time the greatest dreamer in the world. for a short while you have more money that i-- and that you went wrong. look at the future not as a balance of today. you have to be up to more, not up to date in the economy. the coming ten yearses is sensational in the research and the development. a totally different world. so don't be so pessimistic and short tempered. and america still have the best institutions for innovations, for penetrating the secrets of nature. go ahead. so there are some difficulties. difficulties, i believe-- of shortages. >> rose: but are you also an expert on optimism too, aren't you. >> why shouldn't i regret. i don't regret my opportunities. what is called optimism--

do those so you know you are going to go and you should have been dealing with me finish ok let me finish i don't interrupt you ok let me put it like ok well let me finish here let me finish eric you know i'll let me make my point ok let me finish i don't interrupt through when you're speaking ok i'm just saying that the united states does know there's no way in which the west can interfere in syria without making the situation worse on the ground rhetorical you they are saying they have condemned what assad is doing but in terms of the ability to do something it's not like libya where you had the rebels had taken control we're able to jump in right here we have to go to a break after that break but we'll continue our discussion on the arab spring stay with archy. to kick. start. the moment when the world has changed forever. thousands just to nothing. the sons. to suffer to. lose the first but probably not the last to the jury to decide whether. children come and get on in the interim. sky. made him look forward to be held down say. the pain and suffering will

you have to make a personal, you have to make it one on one. they have to learn how to talk about themselves in order to get a job. >> that is a person by person case. i hope that we are moving in the direction of whether or not people have their criminal record public. >> i want to thank all of the panelists for taking time out of their busy schedule. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. we hope that the summit raise issues that you normally don't see on your broadcast television. i think that we sent out to accomplish three things. the first question as it is presented to and for trade both on the news as well as in hollywood movies. secondly, we should be honest about where the system is failing. at one time, our office was a public defender's office. we have made huge steps to make it just this mean for and create outcomes that are just. we are spending more money in california on prisons than we are on education. we have too many people in prisons to our liking people out of city college. what is happening is more than an outrage. t

credit, have the you go about securing a line of credit? i have a lot of contracts for the next two years, but as my company grows, i cannot keep up with payroll. >> we have made loans in those situations. if you have contracts and can show us how they are going to be paid, if your credit is good, we would certainly like to take a look at that. we do not currently offer -- i should be careful. it is on and off whether we have a true line of credit. sometimes it can be structured in such a way to meet your cash flow needs, we can disperse it over time, allow you to pay it down. we have brochures back there. i encourage you to talk to us. >> let me add on that. over the last several years, a lot of small businesses have relied on their personal credit as a means to support the business. also, they relied on home equity lines of credit, which in many cases do not exist anymore, also as a source for financing their business. as far as doing public contracting, one thing about public contract in that you can count on is the city of san francisco

>> i never thought about having -- have you ever thought about having sex with someone other than yourusband? >> i've thought about it. >> the waves are crashing over your little boat, you're about to snap. you do what you've got to do to get out. maybe you become a psychologist. >> bin go, that's it. >> hello. >> hello, sydney. remember me? >> there's no one there. >> we're in the killing business and cousin, business is up. boom. >> listen to me. i have a right -- >> i have a voice. >> yes, you do. tavis: starting this weekend you can catch the latest project from the weinstein company, "hoodwinked too," and they just purchased the rights to "the bully project." harvey, you are the man. >> you say that to everybody. tavis: i watched you watching the monitor. when you see -- and that's just a small sampling of your work, but when you see that what do you think? >> what's next? i guess you don't get tired of it until you're sitting in the old film person's home. >> how do you know, how do you figure out what's next? >> to me, it's all about reading and it's all about, you know, underst

i mean you have. these elites call them. i mean only the state. you can hardly hardly see see them leaving the scene you know and leaving behind something very optimistic about the future is it really potentially has more violence imagine what do you think about that i mean we have assad and people like this. from the. mistakes that say of their fellow dictators in the region. well i agree with what you said of course but the other side of this coin is that what's happening in all these countries is one single phenomenon caused by the fall of an idea the idea that a family a big date or a. sort of a dynasty can rule a country using security services and the army and basically. raising any political life in the country. that's redundant and that's what's causing all of the to collapse one after one after the other so so what's different is the circumstances but but the phenomena is more or less the same and in fact before we lied which they ruled was the same because they have shown the west. they are irreplaceable indispensable they provide stabili

>> how many people, you know, will be happy to take you and have you killed, or have you disappear? but, you kno i want to stress that what we go through as foreign correspondents, american foreign correspondents, is nothing compared to what our mexican colleagues go through. i mean, they're stuck there. they have to live that, you know, day by day. we have the luxury of coming in, parachuting in, and leaving. i'm not saying it's not difficult, but, i mean, it is, i think, a big, big difference in terms of security, personal security. >> hinojosa: so why do you keep doing it, alfredo? i mean, you're athe level in your career where you could say to your editors, "you know what? base me in who knows where, but not mexico city." >> i've asked that question myself, you know, i think for the past 300-something, 60 days. i don't really have a clear answer. i mean, i do have... feel a huge responsibility. and i think as a foreign correspondent there's no way that you can overlook this story. can you do things differently? i mean, because, i mean, i go back a lot now, and i think, "okay, di

[laughter] there really is a fascinating, you know, having somebody spy on you and try to have you kidnappeds fairly up civil, and yet, there's this ability to have the overlay of politeness that -- >> david i don't know of another figure in american history that better illustrates civility than washington. just extraordinary restraint on his part. during his presidency, as you would know, the factional problem developed and really became very acute, and it caused him enormous ang qish seeing jefferson at his throat, and jefferson was -- with regard to washington, and washington knew that, but he never lashed out at him, never, and just remarkable restraint on his part, so we're talking about civility. you got to have some heros in anything you do, and with regard to this role, washington was an extraordinary model. >> i echo the most recent speaker's comments. i agree with the sentiment that it's hard to say we are less civil than we were at any other point. it's hard to provement i think there tends to be in american history the notion of and if you say they're less religious and one gener

to stick to that you have to obey that and like planes that it's the fear of the states i mean you have to be ready to make mistakes in order to learn in order to be creative and we teach in our schools our kids that making a mistake is the worst thing they can you could ever possibly do and then we force them to go anyway and say not only is it bad to make mistakes but we're going to force you to live up to our standards every day of your life and you know go to periods and take certain subjects and i think that's definitely a major cause of this sort of mentality of you know you just want to break out you just want to free your mind and attack because you your creativity has been stifled and you have all that resentment built from the force of this horse of system your whole life going that people are so upset at students dropping out of high school but their students have no real choice as to what they're going to learn in a government school so i mean they're taking social studies and history classes or is made their loves in english or in literature or something like that and so i

>> jimmy: you have no -- >> and all i thought about was, like -- oh, my god. ? like, i'm going -- >> jimmy: you come out missing a tooth. >> i thought i was going to have to come on, and you -- and i was going to act really coy. like an actress who doesn't care. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and i was going to be like, hey, how is it going? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you weren't going to tell me? >> try to talk without opening -- without showing your teeth, and be like, ask me a question. >> jimmy: oh, my gosh. so, how was the flight over here? >> it was pretty good. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you really -- you really have, like, a nicole ritchie thing. you can do her. you can imitate her. yeah. [ light laughter ] >> anyway, but i fixed it in time. >> jimmy: yeah, you did. i'm glad. and speaking of your family, your parents did an interview. i love your parents. they did an interview with "the wall street journal." >> yes. >> jimmy: why would you let them do that? >> well, i -- i called my dad to give him test questions before. and he failed every test que

you have to discuss this. the general public at large, decision makers have to understand if the project is in compliance with the general plan. if there is a special overlay. whenever you have to talk about with that particular plan. we do not talk about that here. we talked about this in the staff report we released a few days before the planning commission. this is not what they require. if this is my client or any member of the public, they have to see if the project composed is in compliance with the law. the planning department shrugged and said, this is our policy and this is a significant area where this is deficient. i want to make it clear. i am not before you and my client is not trying to stop this project. they do not do this to office buildings. they are perfectly fine with the project right next door to them, down the block. it does not matter where this is, as long as this complies with all law, and this explains what the project is, and the potential impact -- and the environmental impact of th

were you do not have access to the law library. you do not have access to your attorneys. i spent most of my time in federal prison in solitary confinement because i had an appellate case. if you do not know this. when i came out of federal prison, i went to graduate school, directly into graduate school. my first semester in grad school as a master student, i remember the chair of the department asked me if i could teach criminology. i said, "sure." [laughter] the first day i taught class at the university of wisconsin, i had 500 students and an entire front row were milwaukee police officers. i told them that i just got a federal prison. they looked at me, and i said, "we are going to have a good time." [laughter] hey, it is real. that is what i want to do for you today, make it real. what you see is only a piece of the story, what happens in that courtroom. what happens later is when they go to prison. >> could you tell us some of the barriers you faced from the transition from prison into the community? >> when you get a prison, now, there is no date money. they all wal

you know? a lot of us do not even want to read, do not have time to read. we would much rather passively sit back and receive information either via video or audio. >> you had something to ask? let me get behind you a little bit. >> i just wanted to bring in the aspect of social media in terms of this consumption. we are seeing with facebook and twitter, these are great drivers of traffic to news sites. the role that citizens have in terms of informing your network of friends and family about what is important, and we are seeing that people are relying more on individuals for recommendations or taking their cues from them about what is important, you know, with those links that you in bed in your twitter and facebook posts. this is a way to get people to focus on stories that are important to them as a community or individual or causes they are passionate about. >> just to piggyback on what she was saying, we have to rearrange the way we think about news. we might not read 5000-word stories anymore, but i know in all my other friends will read 5000 suites th
