not so good words to use. for example, we want to talk about recovery, we don't want to talk about addiction. addiction is where people are stuck in the problem. recovery is where people get into the solution and that's what it's all about, giving people hope and healing and a new way of life. some of the main questions that we receive is, what kind of training is this, you know? and when you say, media message training, that means that if the media... put a microphone and camera to my face and say, joe, i heard that you used drugs and alcohol before. and who are you? and how do i respond to the media and how do i respond to where the community and the public can know that the benefits of long-term recovery? i think the main message there is that people in long-term recovery can move onto advocate for people with addictions and people to also get long-term recovery like they did. the message is real clear that the benefits of recovery, it works, and that's a reality for many people that's in recovery today. lu

because for months nobody has talked to us from tripoli, nobody has wanted us to use their real name. has fear gone for you? >> definitely. definitely gone. and i will explain you why people were not giving their names or even talking. it's because for example two streets away from my house there was a van with a satellite dish on top of it that was just there to spy on conversations. so whenever they detect something that is against them they just come and pick you up. >> so you say you have never been prouder than your right now, than you are today. >> yes. >> why is that? >> well, when you see that -- first of all let's not forget that if my figures are right, 70 or 75% of the libyan population is a young population. this is the first point. the second point is, when i see that all this youth which is my generation -- i'm 26 years old -- has put in place a movement such as this movement you've been witnessing for six months, and at the end being victorious against a man who has been ruling a country for 42 years, 43 years with this iron fist, i mean, how can you not be proud? they

us what is this most. made experiment and frankly speaking for every single research. might be their own type of experiments because this this material or has a number of very different but very even the same properties the mechanical properties the optical properties the. properties for me is the combination between mechanical and electronic properties which are the most interesting constantin you just said a minute ago that you were in this in this paper of yours for which you got the nobel prize you said that you said i quote we can produce griffin but as far as i know you are not producing anything or you are interested in production or you just interested in research. well we do research on this material bugs in order to start our experiments we need to produce those samples first so of course the sample production reproduction of all this material is quite a port and. very often the most important parts or for our research you said that you have to produce enough material for your research but one of

us has raised a. that ninety times it's become standard procedure but now the situation has progressed to the point of shaking the world's markets and the world was the right hand with a known economic territory how did that happen. to a large extent in the one nine hundred sixty s. or seventy's ninety percent of international settlements were in dollars you know that was between countries that weren't even connected with the u.s. there the eurozone was established to start giving up national currencies even of those some european countries like denmark didn't join nonetheless the dollar remains the key settlement currency and everyone needed dollars and often required dollars rather than any other currency and therefore the dollar became the worldwide currency of the world wide spread also calls for worldwide responsibility and the u.s. authorities didn't show enough of that response ability economic and number of economists called the actions of the u.s. financially irresponsible do you agree or is

people and that's what we should be focusing on not just the use by itself because not use is basically innocuous you know i'll see if i can go to you is there a middle ground here it could be an prohibition but still some kind of decriminalization legalization regulation can you is there a middle ground that we can find here because this report that just came out that i mentioned beginning of the program says that this so-called what we call the war on drugs is that utter failure what do we need to rethink because we can if we continue down the same path it's just very expensive it clogs up the digital system people are put in prison for using drugs maybe they should not be put in prison i mean there has to be a fundamental rethinking because it seems you just get more and more expensive more and more violent. i don't disagree with terms of a middle ground we need to criticize of san diego first go ahead. yes we need to rethink some things that's why i support the right on crime and they should be which wants to reduce our incarceration rate for those that got an addiction problem util

they're not used to quakes and not used to the after shocks. a 4.2 after shock has struck the washington, d.c. area not far from the epicenter near richmond, virginia. it's an earthquake to us, but in new york city and washington, this rare occurrence triggers a range of fear. let's bring in george kiriyama who spent part of the day at the usgs and joins was the latest. >> i was talking to a friend of mine from d.c. about an hour after the quake and she told me her neighbor ran outside and sat on the front lawn, refusing to go back inside because she was afraid another quake would hit. one of many stories of panic and shock from a section of the u.s. not used to shaking. video shows a man walking calmly, shopping at a mineral, virginia grocery store. then the quake hits, knocking items off the shelves. in new york, the shaking sent panicked people into the streets. >> i thought the building was about to come down. so i didn't wait for nobody to tell me to evacuate. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., the white house shook. a few cracked were spot

thank you so much for joining us tonight. higher thursday edition a show and tell is just ahead and there's been an ongoing protest an arrest over a planned pipeline from campus in the us into that topic with jane hamsher founder of firedoglake. there's nothing here that we can afford. i think. the one. we have to go on the says they're going to say get ready.

a chance to thank you thank you very much for being with us and just to remind us that the fans in the us all it was our guest today and will be back with more friends and comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on r.t. and take a. wealthy british science. sometimes. markets why not.

us what is this that made experiment. speaking for every single a seriously might be the type of experiments because this this material or has a number of were very different very in the central properties the mechanical properties the optical properties the. problem for me is the combination between mechanical. properties which are the most interesting constantin you use your set in a minute ago that you were in this in this paper of yours for which you like the nobel prize you said that you said i quote we can produce a good thing but as far as i know you're out not producing anything or you are interested in production or you just interested in research. while we do research on this material boards in order to start our experiments we need to produce those samples first so of course the sample production we production of this material is quite poor thousands and. very often the north important parts for our research are you said that you have to produce enough material for your research but one of your colleagues in th

other people and that's what we should be focusing on not just the use by itself because much use is basically innocuous you know i see if i can go to you is there a middle ground here it could be an prohibition but still some kind of decriminalization legalization regulation can you is there a middle ground that we can find you because this report that just came out that i mentioned beginning of the program says that this is what we call the war on drugs is an utter failure what do we need to rethink because we can if we continue down the same path that just very expensive it clogs up the digicel system people are put in prison for using drugs maybe they should not be put in prison i mean it has to be a fundamental rethink your because it seems you just get more and more expensive more and more violent. i don't disagree with terms of a middle ground you need to say it's going to size of san diego first go ahead. yes we need to rethink some things that's why i support the right on crime initiative which wants to reduce our incarceration rate for those that got an addiction problem ut

we have to look at things on a case by case, use by use basis, and we would consider this sort of thing. protective glazing, wired glass, we see traditionally all over. >> so we've got wired glass here. you know, it's a product that we used to sell a lot of. but almost a product whose time has come. i mean this is an obscure wire glass, with -- it's rated 45 minutes for fire. but the problem is there's no impact. so this is not -- at one time, you could put this in a fire door, only in a -- there was a time when they put this in shower doors. and so clearly that's not legal anymore, with good reason, besides the fact that all of the wires rusted. there's some pretty nasty-loo nasty-looking shower doors that we replaced. the other thing is it's not terribly strong, cracks easily, and -- >> if you put your hand through it, or to it, you can get seriously injured. it looks like it's supposed to be safe. it is actuall actually not terre for human impact. >> so at this point, there are some -- because it's got wires in it, you really couldn't temper it before. now i believe there is somebody

can you tell us about your experience? >> there were a lot of anticipation about how people would respond. at first, we had to get in front of people to direct them from their habits. early morning, they are more into carrying their coffee and going inside of the elevator and then spilling their coffee to hit the keys. we got right in front of them, stopped them and told them exactly what they had to do. that helped out a lot. the other thing that helped were the lights in the lobby would tell them where the elevator was. a lot of these systems have not done that. we were the first to do that. the nice thing is we've got less spills in the lobby, too. you get into the elevator in the morning, and somebody is standing in front of the buttons and you cannot get to it. people are fighting each other, spilling coffee and stuff, so this works out well. once you get inside, you are going to the floor that you have already decided on the outside. it really helped traffic flow and security as well. >> would you say your experience

the car use went down, the bicycle use went up. higher parking fees are very effective in decrease in car use and increasing other modes of use -- in decrease in car use iqi 5u9 it was quite effective. another thing, peter talked about the parking permit. in amsterdam, you have to wait two and half years before it because you -- you have to wait two and a half years for the parking permit. >> people except they can just not have a car. in amsterdam, the other modes of transport are so well-organized, it is just like in the hague, a car is more of a new sense that a create a car is more of a nuisance and liability. it is expensive. the other modes of transport are much more convenient. >> ok, mike, you have a question? use the microphone, please. >> separated bike paths in the united states are controversial, and they're slowly catching on. how important is it to have those facilities in place? is it maybe a quarter of importance, 50% of the attraction for people to take their bikes? i'm wondering how important it is. >> i think tha

this is where the rubber really hits the road for us. we have been engaged in this project for a long time, but now we need to make sure that you will get a library that you want and deserve. in doing so, it takes -- to use a corny cliches -- it takes a village to build a library. it takes a lot of people to come together to make a project like this happen. our commitment to you is to build a library that you want, that is safe and secure, that is inviting, functional, modern. a place that you want to be. a place where you want your kids to be. and that will be done on every hand library that we work on in this city. additionally, what we want to do -- and this is that the direction of the mayor and supervisors, former supervisors, and the community, we want to leave a legacy of not only a beautiful library, but of opportunity. that opportunity is in the form of business, for small businesses in this neighborhood, jobs for people in this neighborhood. so not only do we get out of this at the end of the day a great library but we did peop

live there joining us from tripoli. and as the mainstream media talks of people waving revolutionary flags all over tripoli some independent reports suggest the may be regaining control during the sleezy felons feels it could be the libyan leader's international strategy to intentional strategy should say to let the rebels in. i have heard reports that people have come out in green square and other parts of the city waving the green flag and that the libyan army is in control now what we've heard is that the strategy up in libyan government and army was to permit the rebels inside the city because previously they had been operating in sleeper cells and it was very difficult for the libyan army to know where they were hiding so strategy was part of bringing them out that would could lead to a direct confrontation so that they could be dealt with quite swiftly and also we have heard that the tribes the large tribes that wash a car know what. and the traps came in from came from the areas to tripoli to join the battle we a

it was not us that asked for. i would like to introduce adam mileler to speak and we will show a the architectural proposal. >>>> president olague: if anyone is here for the petco item, that was continued to october. >> is there a way of having -- go ahead. the project area is the shopping center located at geary and masonic. this is a slide. here are photos of existing conditions, looking off of the corner, looking back to a couple of locations on farrell. as you may know, the property was constructed in the 1950's as a sears department store. it was purposely built for sears. in the 1990's, it was converted into multi-tenant retail and at that point, it was mervyn's and office depot. toys r us was replaced by best buys and the others are closed. the aerial views going north and south of the property, it points out an interesting condition of the property. when it was built in the 1950's, a single use prop., there is a number of these tiered parking lots that exist. they're not willing to. they act independently

nadia bilchik joins us. we talked about first responders and crews in japan cleaning up after the earthquake. they found about $48 million in untraceable cash? this is obviously a place that is cleaning up, to say the very least, and it is an awful situation. they could have kept this cash. what did they do? i'm guessing they didn't keep it. >> they handed it back to the people. it is not totally untraceable. there are about 57,000 saves that were found. in it were the bank books and land registries and title deeds. that was returned. what is extraordinary is the bags, purses and wallets that were found. of those, people found cash and literally 85% of the cash that was found has been returned. >> to whom? >> to people that they found identity in the wallets and purses. doesn't it take so much about japanese culture? going back to the japanese culture and people who know the japanese say this extraordinary kindness toward each other. >> and honesty. >> yes. from cities that are rebuilding to a city in china

waiting for us. and they made us go to the chicken kira barracks to prove we were a family. nobody is they gave us a document there which we needed in chief or to collect the bodies. we gave the documents to the mayor and then we went to on earth the body it's. not a real was dug out at about four. xander at four thirty. am in the spot i was walking in the park we heard people saying relatives that scum. as if they didn't know us they obviously repeated what they had heard. i am. regarding alexander's case we have always asked the state for transparency and justice. my mother says it all the time she doesn't want her son to be remembered as a criminal who died fighting. because that's not the truth it wasn't a criminal. i don't understand why the government picks people and passes them off as positive knowing that these people have a family what is safe to go out there and look for the real gorilla man and if you want a medal earned it by this went off your brow not just by killing the first guy you come across to be can bold before the colombian people come against that and

it would take us centuries to devise a means of transportation if that would allow us to travel this distance we know for a fact now that the star closest to us is devoid of life the next star the d.s.a. is twenty light years away it would take us. to think of a way to get that physical star travel is impossible that's my belief we would have to revise the whole science of physics miracles do not help in science they do happen but there are different sources to what we used to is clear everyone is talking about the risk of the earth colliding with another asteroid their profits do you think this is a real threat. just. first of all i want to tell you that asteroids and comets played a very important role in the birth of life remember the solar system is essentially a child chemistry lab with comets and asteroids transport matter across this land including some suspect organic matter they have often collided with earth the earth is dotted with asteroid craters we call them in space will. some scientists believe that the disappearance of entire species of plants and animals has to do w

dollar they've abandoned the us dollar years ago it only now is becoming an issue in the us but it's been an issue around the world ever since china became part of the world trade organization and you have this massive transfer of labor from the us to china taking advantage of the so-called wage arbitrage thanks to bill clinton which gutted manufacturing in america and when they talk about this debt ceiling and the need to stimulate and the need to print more money as reviving the u.s. economy that would imply that there are some manufacturing base that is there to be revived but there is a manufacturing base there's only weapons of mass financial destruction created by the banks on wall street and they keep going to matter what the economic conditions are because it's an economy found not by the discipline of gold or the rule of law but by the willing the only means of a bunch of corrupt hedge fund managers who live not far from here in the hamptons i don't long island person by the their ocean front property concocting new ways to destroy countries whether it's greece or dublin or

i know that the pavilion gets a lot of use. i just wanted to get more information on that. >> we are working closely with staff to identify the right time to do this. kezar has a bit of a seasonality to it as well. we will pick a time when there is the least impact. not having the schedule in front of me, i do not want to say there is 0 impact, but we are going to keep it minimal. we did not want to disrupt any of the major athletic events we have going on, but there are times when it is just open to events or things that are not program elated to our athletic programs. certainly, if you approve this, we will come back to you a schedule on when it will be undertaken. as i said in the report, once we have got the floor up, and we can see what the scope of the work may be, that will inform the project scope and cost. >> so it will essentially be done with minimal impact? >> yes, that is our commitment. >> thank you. >> i have public comment from a richardfong and andrea o'leary. >> good afternoon. i just had some eye work done, s

call us. say, i can't get down there i have, they might come out with 50 gallon drums if you have waste or oil they will come and pick it up. if you have gasoline you haven't used in a while they will come and pick it up. the main thing is safety. we don't want to end up like this guy. he didn't heed the warnings. for each one of these to carry out this guy, how many guys are backing them up? i figure 4 a piece. we don't send in a team unless we have the same amount of people and then some to back them up. to get you to gage what an incident is the guy with the big thumb. the rule of thumb is this. if you cover the incident with your thumb you are far enough away. does it look like he's got it covered with his thumb? you see the smoke going to the side. he's still too close. he's got to back up further even with the rule of thumb. we want you to view the rule of time, distance and shielding. what's time, don't stick around. distance. get far away. shielding means put something solid in between

using one or more of these. when we debate the question of will corporations use the cloud, i would say they already have. we clearly are still in the early adoption days. i rattle off some very interesting stories right now of companies you know right now who are using lots of interesting computing and storage cloud services as well. i just wanted to get people to start to think. companies are moving this way. there is a bay area company -- i will not name names, but the cfo walk into the cio's office and said, "no more capital expenditure." the reason why i talk about this as a business model is -- and, by the way, i would be happy to send any of you guys a copy of this book. or if you want epub versions, we can do that. i will not to the lecture on all seven business models, but i have tried to break down what happened in the entire software business into seven for the metal business models that are very different economically. the reason why i talk about cloud computing being in business model -- i'm going s

diane swonk joins us. diane, let's talk about what has to happen to spur meaningful economic growth in the united states. can you create economic growth with policies, for instance? >> well, if there was any silver bullet to shoot on that front, it would have been shot already. there is no silver bullet in the wake of a financial crisis. we've stemmed the hemorrhaging the economy went through during the recession but we've been unable to get momentum going. that's very characteristic of a post crisis kind of recovery. it's one thing to know it's coming but another thing to living it. living it has been miserable. >> no kidding. this last week, we started to feel things we had felt three years ago. i don't think any of us needed to relive this. steven moore is the editorial writer for "the wall street journal." we saw the bush tax cuts extended in december of 2010. generally speaking, taxes remain low. but this recovery is not taking hold. why do some argue that lowering taxes, thereby reducing government r

we used the instrument of version, change the words of. the turn that into what they used as a study mechanisms. i am proud to say that with the program i have used, and he was an academy for young scientists. to give you a quick demonstration of what that might sound like, it goes like this. parts of speech you are all easy, and just sing with me. parts of speech are all easy, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions. conjunctions. a noun is a person, place, fang, or idea. like barack obama is a person. academy is in place. a little puppy is a thing. then you have a pronoun replaces a noun. like i, you, he, she, it, you, hey, you all, they. hopefully -- [applause] thank you. today, as i leave, i will leave with beautiful ideas and action plans. i started them with the support of my wonderful mother. it is something that is essential to making a program flourished. you need to support. all of that combined, i hope i get the chance to meet each of you today. and be able to go back knowing that i am going to take back support. i can tell yo

there was some thought by many of us that we could use this moment of raising the debt ceiling to make some significant changes in the way that we do business in washington, d.c. and in fact, on march 22 of this year, i wrote president obama a letter indicating that i could not vote to raise the debt ceiling unless i saw substantial reductions in spending and structural changes in the way that we do business in the united states congress and in washington, d.c. and while i say there is no joy for me to be here today, in my view we have failed to do either one. there are no substantial reductions in spending, and there's no significant changes in the way that washington, d.c. does business. mr. president, this country needs certainty. and i've said all along that we need to raise the debt ceiling. there needs to be that certainty. and i've said it would be irresponsible for us not to raise the debt ceiling, but i've said all along it would be equally as irresponsible if we raise the debt ceiling without meeting the criteria that i've outlined. and while we'll have a discussion among all

i just don't think that the term the west as popular as it is is a very useful it's a very useful intellectual or analytic category certainly yes people do talk about it and insofar as they talk about it it's a real thing because of the west as a real thing we have to talk about. it refers to anything real and it's interesting i mean if i go to you because in the in this part of the world i got because i like i said living in russia i mean either you people we look at it either you want something from the west or you don't want something from the ones you want their wealth but you don't want their head gemini. right and that's why i said it represents a very fundamental axis of ambivalence in our present moment and it has done i think for a long time in india during the period of empire people wanted the medical knowledge from the west they wanted the technique taken logical knowledge from the west they wanted the financial knowledge from the west they didn't want western more is they didn't want western customs and they didn't want western ethical and religious principles so i think we've oft

money wasn't even used for what they said it would be used for. the debt ceiling was raised as part of a bad and insufficient budget deal because of overblown threats of immediate economic collapse if debt ceiling wasn't raised by august 2nd. we need senators and mens of congress -- members of congress who are not afraid to vote against bad deals. we need men and women of courage. i stand in awe of the courage of the signers of the declaration of independence. the declaration of independence was, in effect, a declaration of war against the military superpower of that day. a military expert of that time would have told you that the ragtag revolutionary army would be quickly defeated by overwhelming british force. signing the declaration of independence was an act of treason against the british crown. the penalty for treason was death. despite the enormous risks, their love of freedom was greater than any fear they must have felt, and so they courageously signed their names below these words. and for the support of this declaration with a firm relia

hold on. >> sara, are you still with us? can you hear us? >> you heard there still in the background, though, there was clearly some sounds of heavy weapon impact in the distance when she was holding the phone up, and also just at the end there you could you can never tell whether that's celebratory or not. you can hear ak-47s, you can hear anti-aircraft guns being fired in a sustained burst there, too. difficult to tell what's celebratory and what's offensive. >> she was describing a scene where you had rebels who had just entered gadhafi's compound, very happy about the con quest that they had actually been able to at least it looked like they were able to get into some sort of office and had medical files of some of the gadhafi family members, and that they were going through the streets showing others what they had found, what they had seen. clearly, they are in a sense optimistic, they think they have gotten ahold of this compound. it's going to be very interesting to see whether or not that makes a difference. >> exactly. loyalists who

especially nothing that the criteria before us today. supervisor chu: what about the two properties provided, over the number of square feet that she might need? 191 portola, can you talk about why you rejected that? for the sake of me understanding the process? and the diligence of that went into this? when we have to look into purchasing more property, especially. >> these larger sites always get our attention in a site search. those the two particularly mentioned are really under the radar of the park department for potential jurisdictional transfer. so, we are having active discussions with public works about that. driven by neighborhood concerns, they are primarily residential in nature and provide an open space feel as undeveloped, vacant land. some of them are ideal for community gardens. others simply maintain open space. the rec and park department is being responsible to neighborhood concerns. these are not development opportunities. these are life was i-industrial opportunity in a laboratory facility. hoppsupervisor chu: these

all lot of us have that happening all the time. generally, the small business community is not afraid of competition. if it was on a level playing field. we in society, we would not put a 140 pound boxer in the ring with a 280 pound boxer. it's just not fair and we're the 140 pound boxer. petco is someone who out ways as in so many different ways. the store on 18th street is an excellent location to put another store that is the verse from pet foods that the community -- diverse from pet foods that the community can use and enjoy in a different way. there are plenty of pet stores in the area to service the existing community. we have been there for years and years and -- as other communities have, and we don't feel it's correct for a big bucks to come in and approached the hard work we have had to service our customers. [tone] supervisor mar: i just wanted to add that there is a pet supply store within a couple blocks from this site and there is also pets' corner and drew's canine corner and those are the ones they're just the clos

we haven't used it at all f we're not going to use it, to me, let's get rid of it. that's my point. so either your suggestion -- which is a good one or my thought is to at least have it on the agenda so we can refer to it. what do you think? >> i would go with the schedule ahead of time, like the brady issue, it takes a lot of time to do it. what we would schedule is when it comes before the commission but 99% of the work happens before it gets to the commission. calendar ahead of time, having one or two people do that, would be helpful. with the caveat that emergencies do come up, unexpected things come up. just because they're not on this list doesn't mean we can't talk about them and potentially calendar them. president mazzucco: what i here is a suggestion for a couple commissions to work with lieutenant on calendaring -- >> yes. president mazzucco: over whatever period of time? >> the next year to half year. because we go from times to meetings at midnight from other time where's we don't need to have a meeting and we can balance it. and maybe if we balance our workload better,

it made us a minute's lean more powerful than we'd ever been before gave us the ability to it we did essence each have thousands of slaves there were certain parts of that that were obviously very useful and there were other parts that there weren't and i don't mean just the environmental impacts though this is climate change is par for the biggest thing that humans have ever done and also mean that it allowed us in a certain sense to become. deeply deeply deeply kind of hyper individual wise in a way that humans hadn't before and i think that that to wonder why it's much of the problem that we've kind of wandered into so well we were once looking at it sort of the tip of starting a book called keep. economy i was looking at a set of data and you asked americans how happy they were with their lives one of the big polling firms has done this every year since the underworld works. and it turns out that the percentage of americans who say i'm very happy with my life peaks in one thousand fifty six and goes downhill since a moment earlier quarter of americans will make the claim i'm very
