there will be small businesses in california that feel it is their moral responsibility to leave california. the new york times, a new report indicates that detroit's pension fund spent well more than normal benefits to retirees and active workers for decades, costing the city billions. an actuary said excess pension payment cost detroit nearly $2 billion over 23 years. during some years, excess payments cost more than $100 million. in some cases payments were more than twice the necessary amount. you wonder why detroit is in the mess that it's in. >> usa today, new data reveal s 15% of american adults don't go online. >> they're smart. >> they tend to include the elderly, poor and less educated. some cited lack of access, cost is a bigger concern. more than half of the adults -- offline i adults said they would need assistance to go online in the future. >> the u.s. postal service is propose ing a hike for first class stamps. they could raise the price to 49 cents. in addition postcard and package rates would also increase. the postal service said this would raise $2 billion in rev new. >>

there's no national data on assisted living, so we focused on california, the state with the most assisted living facilities. during the last three years, emeritus had more substantiated consumer complaints per bed than any of its major competitors. "facility has insufficient staff to monitor residents." >> thompson: we found authorities in other states have cited emeritus for numerous legal violations, from a shortage of staff to taking in seniors too sick to legally live in their buildings. go to that one. you just have somebody apparently falling out of a second-story window. >> thompson: and we identified more than two dozen questionable deaths, many of which have never been reported on. >> so she froze to death. >> thompson: she froze to death. >> on christmas day. >> thompson: on christmas day. her name was mabel austin, and she suffered from dementia. one night, she wandered out of an emeritus facility in texas and froze to death. in colorado, herbert packard was beaten to death by a resident with brain damage. in massachusetts, angenette stewart was repeatedly sexually assaulted. a

now, as you pointed out, the state of california takes a different view. the attorney general there has told the state supreme court that who gets a professional license is absolutely a strictly state decision, that it's not up to the federal government to determine if the state wants to give him a license, it can. secondly, she says that the whole point here is to make people to be productive members of society and allowing him to get his law license and practice law would help. as for employing him illegally, he said he could always work pro bono. he could work out of the country advising people on u.s. laws. there are lots of options for him. so she says it's entirely legal. it will be up to the state supreme court. other states are still -- are just beginning to grapple with this. there's a similar case in florida. so depending on what happens here, the parties here, whoever loses, might ask the supreme court to take the case. if it's percolating enough among the states, the supreme court might get involved or it might decide to let the states decide t

el camino hospital in california's silicon valley has a fleet of robots called "tugs" that ferry meals to patients, medicines to doctors and nurses, blood samples to the lab, and dirty linen to the laundry. >> crossing hallway. >> kroft: a hospital spokesman told us the tugs are supposed to supplement nurses and hospital staff, not replace them. but he also believes that robots and humans working together is the beginning of a new era. robots are now wielding scalpels for surgeons, assisting in the most delicate operations, allowing them to see and snip their way through prostate surgeries with minimal damage. and they have begun filling prescriptions in hospital dispensaries and local pharmacies. economic evolution has been going on for centuries, and society has always successfully adapted to technological change, creating more jobs in the process. but erik brynjolfsson and andrew mcafee of m.i.t. think this time may be different. >> brynjolfsson: technology is always creating jobs, always destroying jobs. but right now, the pace is accelerating. it's faster, we think, than ever befo

abby, you mentioned california as a model in some ways as an incubator in the country. while the whole country has lost 400,000 union members in the last year, california has seen an increase of 100,000, driven by their large latino population and the changing demographics that they really are sort of ahead of the country as a whole on. >> you think about it, today racial and ethnic minorities make up more than half of americans under the age of 5. this is going to be a huge change for the republican party. if they want to figure out how to move forward, how to be competitive again, they really need to be listening to the millennials. i cannot tell you -- >> well, you said some of those people are under 5. >> they are. >> they can't listen to you because they don't know ho talk. >> they still would be well served. >> some of them don't know how to talk. >> you're on fire today. that's absolutely right. no, i mean, deblasio putting together -- don't do that to me. >> sorry. >> de blasio putting together a multiracial coalition, which progressives have been doing for deca

. >> and dan, miracle of miracles, even california, governor jerry brown is saying, you know what, maybe we ought to investigate our own natural gas reserves, using this technology. >> well, california's legislature voted this week in a way that might allow fracking. >> that is a miracle. >> meanwhile, at the other end of the country, new york state, they have a moratorium on fracking, chesapeake announced it is throwing in the towel on 13,000 acres of leases that they have. they're leaving the state and no other energy companies are interested in coming into new york state, which may be the ka boos on the fracking train. >> so who behind this moratorium 134. >> well, andrew cuomo will not lift the moratorium. he is opposed by bobby kennedy, jr., yoko ohno and matt damon. those four people are listed as the primary opponents of new york. >> governor cuomo, andrew cuomo will not stand up to them. even despite the economic benefits to a new york upstate in particular. this is a way for new york city that has been on hard economic times for a long, for many years. >> i'll tell you, palm, so

japan came in as defending champions, but teams from california came in dominating the competition. they both came in 4-0, so something had to give. the big fella at 6'4" getting the party started at first, and shoots it the other way to give california an early 2-0 lead. he helped his own cause because he was pitching today. japan would rally back inned they presented the president with an autographed jersey, and obama shared a few praise. >> coach shula retired with more wins than any coach in history. each time that record has been challenged, team after team has fallin short. >> michael eaves joins us to talk more about that. the president was having a lot "consider this" will be right back. >> a project at new york university caught my attention because it is geared at making movies about mutual funds which sounds like absolutely the most boring thing ever, ever, ever. but here is the thing: the financial industry hasn't done itself any favors and younger folks who should be investing aren't. so a couple of film maze makers decided instead of hearing about bonds, maybe folks wo

the blaze that charred 370 square miles of california's sier sierra, nevada. the agency said there's no indication the hunter was involved with illegal marijuana cultivation, which a local fire chief had speculated as possible cause. the blaze now 80% contained and has cost $81 million to fight. in some cases people who have started wildfires in california have been sued to pay for costs and for damages. >>> now to business, stocks able to post modest gains across all three major indexes. keeping a close eye on this huge government jobs report this morning. for more on that, we go to karen cho live for us in london. what do we expect in terms of the number of jobs created and the unemployment rate? >> good morning, brian. the numbers today expected in the vicinity of 180,000 jobs to be created. the unemployment rate should remain steady at 7.4%. coming up to this significant number is the fact we had two strong jobs reports already this week from the private sector. 176,000 jobs added in august. also the weekly claims saw jobless benefits fell last week. this

you are scent california of intervening in syria. talk about the reactions and rebulges you have posted including a case for military officer and his wife. >> this is the kind of journalism that was not possible when we started a generation ago which is to have in real time a range of opinion not just the kind of views or gut expression you get in the old newspaper but people who in real time are with the military in the middle east saying here is the effect on our army, here is why they think we should or should not describe so it has been informative. >> you opening this up to readers, but, you know, you are the journalist, the expert, you worked in the carter white house and have been a corporate in china. why should i care what your readers think? >> there is a useful test of the market. i deliberately do not on my part of the site i do not have unmoderated comments, because that is a race to the bottom. i am saying i am able to get, probably, a couple of minute hundred messages a day for people around the world and enough of the

my father has been a leader in the feminist movement in california 40 years. when i was 2 and my sister was 7, he took off two years to really spend with me and my sister and help raise us. even though he and i often had a cat's cradle relationship with him being very driven and me, as well, we've shared a strong bond because we had that time together when i was so young. so this just seems like the opportune time. i told my daughter 4 1/2 years ago when she said when are you coming back, daddy? give me five years. i explained how important this organization was. our family belonged for five generations. i had an important role to take it to the next level. having done that, there was no excuse to not keep that promise to my daughter. >> we talked about that when i interviewed you. it was about four, five years ago. when you first became leader during that time. you mentioned jack and morgan. i met morgan. jack wasn't around then. you better mention your wife or you'll be in trouble. >> i'm the only civil rights leader when the supreme court decisions came dow

california has cover california and kentucky has ky nekt and when you go to the states they are not trying to advertise obama care but coverage california and take the politics out of it. i went to this bourbon festival in kentucky. >> oh. >> which i recommend for viewers for a good time. the important thing is there was a booth set up by the kentucky folks, they call it the kynect booth and they have tote bags. the key thing is there, they don't ask you do you like obama care. they ask, do you know someone who is insured or preexisting condition? they take the politics out of it on some level. the conversation -- i walked 200 people come up to the booth and each conversation was about health care and almost no discussion about do you like obama or obama care? that's what states are doing, taking obama care out and focusing on the health care. >> you posted an article, why the obama care resistance matters and knock that a bloc of 2 dozen republican governors are meaningfully disrupting obama care in a way that republicans in washington simply can't. most notely by refusing to expand the m
