you can't have tubas. you can't have trombones. you can't have drums that are not amplified. they're not ampliifiyers on these. these are instruments that create this noise organically because much the kind of instruments they are but the frequency levelings levels of the instruments piece the building and the kind of sound proofing you have done thus far is not good enough to contain this level of sound, so you may walk out your front door and not hear any sound but if you go up the hill there is sound, and the sound is escaping your building, and that is a problem, so i'm not even sure -- you have a noise -- you have a meter inside the club? there is one and the police arrived and checked the meter twice in the last six months. >> is it digital? >> i'm not sure. is it digital? >> [inaudible] >> make sure you speak into the microphone see we can have this recorded please. >> it's the one -- he's the one that showed us how to use it and every night we check it at least 30 minutes on how it's doing. >> and where in the club do you check it? where do you stand in the meter and

you don't have to respond. i would like to move to staff. >> this is jonah from the mayor's office on disability. you talked about the success of your model for people with certain disabilities. do you have any statistics or numbers of percentage of deaf drivers versus folks with some other disabilities, do you keep track of those numbers? >> that is information i would love to have. under the new changes to our app we will be able to start collecting data on people who check that profile option. well submit data to that to the c puc finally which will happen this week and subsequently all the data regarding any elements of our product that are specifically inviting action from the user. we send a text message. >> i'm sorry, i think you misunderstood my question. let me try again. you talked about having a large number of deaf drivers who work with the lyft platform where you have lyft options. do you have those statistics. how many drivers are you employing using your app and how many of them are people with di

you can't rely on anything. we have worked on a picture about bone man for a solid year and the film came out in three theaters for two days or something. it's like what are you going to do? >> how do you process that when you have done all that you just laid out, done your best and it just doesn't. >> you're upset with the guys who put the money up because they don't want to spend more money on advertising, but you give it up. >> why have done knit in the fit place. >> the producers. why would they spend the money to do it and then not -- >> maybe they're having an argument with the director about the cut and the director says look, i insist that it be this way and they go, okay fine. it's just like a, you know, a personal vendetta sometimes. you know? and other times, you know, it's a company of investors that have put money into a project, right? and somebody's responsible for investing their money in a film. maybe the screening, the test screenings aren't any good, or whatever. and they realize let's cut our losses.

you want to have it yourself? k the companies that give you the most explanation in the long-term are going to win. the customer frustration is that. >> can the gaming companies in las vegas, can they tell who is going to be a winner? they can tell what you want 2-d and what show you want to see, but can they use that -- what you want to eat and what show you want to see, but can they determine whether you will when? >> a note who will spend more money. should haveat you lost $403 by statistical laws. and then they may come over and offer you a consolation steak dinner. >> and that happens on a regular basis? >> it is good business from their perspective. if you have tickets to your favorite show, you will think this is the greatest place. i am having a great time. >> are all the companies doing this? you mentioned caesars. are all teaming companies doing this? >> increasingly they are trying to do this as much as they can. the more information they can gain about us, the more they can improve their business. >> i

you have to have a system. that means you have to have a culture. ited states has a democracy, these are things we believe in. does that make it a cult? i think you attract people who have similar values. if you don't have people who have similar values or you don't talk about your values, then you have no values and you're going to be at odds because people work for different reasons. some people are working just to make the most amount of money. some people are working just to have an impact. some people are working for community. if you are not clear when those things, thoughts, you're going to have important disagreements. being clear about your culture is important. >> i don't know anything about the automobile business but i would bet anything that chrysler, ford, and jim have different cultures if you worked there and get they fundamentally do the same thing. sometimes one is up on the other is down. works forthe culture an environment and sometimes the culture does not work when these he diced -- when the zeitgeist is different. answer to it

a kid doesn't reach 2.5 and you say "we have to talk", "you are mother and i have been using sounds these are words." kids absorb this stuff. at an early age they'll learn to play instruments, they are curious. we then put them in school and shut down a lot of that curiosity and we start to teach them. it's interesting to me that a lot of people by the time they get to seven, eight, nine or 10 are bored and get listless at the idea of going to school, it's not because they don't want to learn, but the way we teach them doesn't speak to them. i'm talking about the system as a whole. the irony is america is trying though meet the challenges it faces through a system that - it's kind of - it's based on a culture of standardisation of testing, and you can see it. you can see the light going out of children's eyes and the blood training, it's because it's being confused with an industrial process, not a human one. you have to stop from the idea that you have all this talent to begin with. >> an idea of teaching to the task, that it's more important that a kid pass an exam than think creatistly

on one hand, you have someone who's hurting you, but on the other hand, you have someone you love andg. so you want to take care of them, you want to hold them, you want to fix it. so it's very complex. i love that meredith said it was complicated because it is. there was so many elements and we have to start addressing all of these elements before making a judgment. >> thanks for joining us. and thank you very much for starting the why i stayed stories that we've all been reading. >> thank you. >>> coming up, one of the members of congress who voted against arming the syrian rebels today. and in "the rewrite" who judges the people who judge police? this is a very important rewrite tonight. ♪ i thought it'd be bigger. ♪ ♪ (dad) there's nothing i can't reach in my subaru.

so you wouldn't have that kind of automation. if there's a problem, i see you would get a yellow amber warning on the computer panel warning the pilot of a problem. that's probably what larry saw when he asked for a descent. however, in these particular circumstances, pressurization problems are an extreme emergency. it would not be inappropriate for a pilot to declare an emergency right then, begin an emergency descent without permission using the pilot in command authority. get down to a breathable altitude. it's then the responsibility of the air traffic controllers to clear the airspace in front of him and underneath him. that pilot will receive complete priority. >> all right. let's go back to tom costello. do you have new information for us again? >> i did want to let you know that the u.s. coast guard is now responding to the scene along with jamaican search and rescue. again, this is 14 miles off the north coast of jamaica. you would imagine the jamaicans would get there hopefully in short order to the crash scene. the u.s

and yet, the victims that you have have you discussed are real. e that we can tolerate the lack of cooperation. ultimately, the information that these agencies have belong to the american taxpayers. they're not proprietary to an agency. they're not proprietary to congress, not even proprietary to you. they belong to the american taxpayers. what we must do is have full and complete disclosure. to give the best example if the irs comes in and does an audit, i don't know the universe of which they may be asking for when they say they want all the documents, generally they mean all the documents. and i would suggest that that simple test be one that the agencies hear loud and clear today that when you request it, they are to provide it and then we're going to hold you accountable to make sure that dhoes disclosures and integrity and professionalism that each one of you have assured me that you have that that gets abided by because a fracture there really does irreparable harm. we've got a lot of great federal workers. for many of the american taxpayers

you have got to have some effort to have ties to the community. if you -- now things will still happen and they have to be dealt with according to what the facts are and what the law requires. but things were badly out of whack before this happened. >> so do you think that racism has gotten worse in this country over the past few years? i mean, there has been these highly publicized events in ferguson and a bit back there, there was the george zimmerman case. it surprised a lot of people that there was so much anger in this country. >> no, i don't think it has gotten worse. but i think we are playing with it, with its darker possibilities with things like these "stand your ground" laws, telling people that we would be safer if everybody carried a gun around. and "stand your ground" states which opens the prospect -- like an unarmed woman was killed do you remember standing on somebody else's porch not very long ago. i think we have enhanced the risks by changing the environment. because basically -- basically because it seems we bought the nra's th
