we're the last bastion of the jury system. however, japan just recently decided to inaugurate the jury system. we're working with the japanese, who culturally, historically, are not comfortable with the jury system, because they don't usually have discussions about a different point of view. we actually show the movie "truck -- 12 angry men" to demonstrate how one person can make a huge difference. we show them "to kill a mockingbird." there are lots of things that we do that we try to get them interested in the jury system. it is growing, that interest. i am worried about the jury system after some of these recent cases. without opining on those cases, to tell you the truth, i don't want those cases because they will frustrate me. i see things happen there that just should not happen, either lawyers acting certain ways, the judges act in certain ways. i really don't follow it. plus, i don't know what is being kept out from the jury, withheld by judges and so forth. what i do see is jurors being attacked. you see what has happ

so it spread throughout the system. biedrzycki: we saw an expenditure of $90 million to upgrade both water treatment plants. kaminski: cryptosporidium was a wake-up call. it was a wake-up call for us. it's a wake-up call for the nation. take care of your infrastructure before you have the kind of problem we had. biedrzycki: by no stretch of the imagination do i think we're out of the woods. recent cdc statistics indicate that up to 32 million cases of waterborne disease occur each year in this country. roy: but the vast majority of waterborne outbreaks go undetected. when people first get ill, they think, "oh, it's something i ate last night." they don't think, "oh, it's something i drank last night." narrator: the milwaukee incident pointed out the potential vulnerability of our drinking water infrastructure in controlling the spread of illness. biedrzycki: it's incumbent upon us to try to stay ahead of the curve, but it's very, very difficult. there's always another bug on the horizon. narrator: in 2008, the associate

base electrical system for the building, the base glazing system for the building and the structural system for the building. what is the protection for glazing system? what is that? >> so, the glazing systems, the glass, throughout the building. >> oh,. >> as mr. ducebella mentioned, there is... >> actually we have a slide on that or i could go through that in detail if you like. >> if you just give it to me. >> it is about making sure that the glass does not participate in becoming a hazard to people inside or around the transit center in the event of something occurs. >> and so, >> when you build many things with kind of resistant glass to start with, >> yeah. you start off with a basic tempered glass system. but this is layers lamination in the glass to make it safer and more secure. >> as you go through each piece could you give us a dollar amount? it would be helpful? >> i will have that when i speak to the distribution. >> all right, thank you. >> what i will try to do is be as explainable because there is this technology mystery because i can appreciate the concern about usin

in the downtown area of atlanta, the sewer system and the stormwater system are combined and there are overflows during storm events, and so the purpose of this system is to relieve that flow, take it into the tunnel, transport it to a brand-new treatment plant, clean up the chattahoochee river. narrator: instead of the combined sewage overflowing into the river, it will flow into this tunnel that acts as a storage tank. the water will then slowly empty into the new plant for treatment before it's released back into the river. man: the system in total is about 8 1/2 miles, 27 feet in diameter. most of the time it will be dry. the only time it will fill is when the sewer system is overwhelmed by the storm. it is a massive project. our budget was $210 million. we've worked about a million and a half man-hours. hunter: it is an incredible amount of work. our capital program right now is $3.9 billion. over a period of less than 10 years. franklin: so it's very expensive. the bottom line is, we, as atlantans, as georgians, don't have a choice to protect the river. we need to leave it better

down the system? because what you're saying, those kind of like, this has helped, this is added to because people are getting paid off of this and money is getting put into this. so how can we hit them in their pockets kind of thing? >> yes. it's a good question, you know? i think it's important, first, though to emphasize that jim crow didn't collapse because it was too expensive to provide equal educational opportunities for black folks as compared to whites. there was no effort to try to provide equal educational opportunities for black folks in a separate system as compared to whites. what led to the collapse of jim crow had a lot to do, um, with how the united states was being viewed in the aftermath of, you know, world war ii, um, when black, you know, servicemen were returning home from fighting for freedom abroad and returning home to suffer second class status and being hung from trees in the south, and these events were being broadcast around the world, you know, tarnishing america's image a

of the tenets system i had diagnosed with the cancer system way back in the public health journal beginning in one thousand new and then one led to. two thousand and one so for loving modes he's there help came if it is a constructive event and then metastasize the system so that it can override all the future rights we've just seen a continual under obama it could override especially all international law had will make it to admit the supreme under law of both cold war belligerent war. will. and absolutely it has metastasized out of control dominating everything else and just to wrap this up i mean to give some hope how can we get back i mean how do we cure the cancer how do we go back to value when life sequence instead of valuing money sequence here i mean is it too late. no it isn't too late we did it we mean i think the key issue probably is a public banking system which no economy that works in the world they can work with the banking system that isn't even floated in the us so that's a problem and you can institute that people will all but you can look at a google and they will point

those systems where there is an investment was in the fire suppression system, the building was quite large and we opted to have an additional fire pump included, the building is five stories essentially, the city water pressure is adequate to operate the water on the upper floors and it depends on a fire pump and we did not want to lose a critical pump and the sprinkler systems in the upper portion of the building and also the original design which was a concept. it was to provide additional redundancy from the pump and the piping perspective. part of the evacuation rescue and recovery systems are emergency power, if you don't have the emergency power and you lose the normal power things don't work. smoke purged fans don't work, stair pressure don't work and emergency lights don't work and radio communications may not work, etc.. what we did was look at the design as it matured and we found that it had three sets of switch gear for power and three sets of emergency generator and it would make sense to link them together so that if we lost one transformer or one switch gear or one eng

how the system works. in health care we have decided we don't want to be a customer we want to have sarah gets be a customers of the private insurers in medicare, medicaid for cms they are the customer. and interestingly if you step back from the intricate debate about health care and ask yourself how well the profit incentive works in health care it works perfectly. the health care providers perfectly meet the demand of the service gets that are different from ours and i want to talk about health. the biggest is reflected in the language. nobody or almost nobody, for deutsch become almost nobody talks about the health care prices. we talk of the cost. it's interesting in the political debate you always hear the word cost as if there is some independent thing going on or independent kryptonite that provides the health care and we only have so much of it that it is priced on unemployment. every cost as we all know is somebody's capital in yet in health care and think it is incredibly the binding. there is a

that they believe that the dollar reserve system if you have money system is bogus about the collapse us whether buying gold do you agree well i mean the system is basically an imperial system i've gotten a lot of flak for saying this but i agree with michael hudson's analysis that you know after bretton woods they set up this u.s. treasury bond system which essentially functions as a way of funneling tribute money into the u.s. basically to support the american military and largely it's been the countries that are under u.s. military protection or have military bases all over them that are buying this stuff so russia is one of the countries that's calling it like it is some they've said like this is this is there is no real difference to the american military power in american financial power if we want to resist one we have to resist the other you mentioned foreign policy in a lesser ship between this money printing and the rise of the petro dollar and of course that has really been the basis for so many wars recently in the last ten or fifteen years the iraq war and afghanistan and

the system. if indeed it isn't this one or that one, it isn't this company's strategy or that product's maneuver, but it is the market, the totality of the system that is producing unconscionable results, multi-million-dollar apartments next door to abject poverty, then you're saying that the system is at fault for these results. i agree with that. but i'm not sure that those who push this notion of "the market makes it happen," have thought through where the logic of that defense makes them very vulnerable to a much more profound critique than they will be comfortable with. >> you graduated from harvard. >> right. >> then stanford. >> right. >> then yale. >> that's it. >> was this the economy you were taught at those three elite institutions to celebrate? >> no. no, this is the economy that i came to understand is the reality. for me, and i learn things at all those institutions, it's not that. i came to understand that in america economics is a split, almost a schizophrenic kind of pursuit. and

it's called el sistema, the system. and as we reported in april 2008, it's all about children, about saving them, hundreds of thousands of children, through music. [dramatic orchestral music] ♪ >> in the world of classical music, the simon bolivar national youth orchestra is unique. [jazzy music] the musicians, kids mainly, are not graduates of some conservatory or music school. they're alumni of the school of hard knocks in the slums of venezuela. the orchestra performs around the world with gustavo dudamel, its celebrated young conductor. performing in the grand and opulent concert halls of europe is a long way from the orchestra's home in venezuela. many of the kids come from neighborhoods which are so poor, desperate, and crime-ridden, that hope is often extinguished in children at an early age. instead, these kids travel the world playing to sellout audiences. the national youth orchestra and hundreds of others are the brainchild of dr. jose antonio abreu, who started the first one back in 1975. do you remember t

of the system i had diagnosed with the cancer system way back in the public health journal beginning in one thousand new life and then one led to. two thousand and one and so forth loving words for help change if it is a constructive event and then metastasize the system so that it could override all the future rights who does seem to continue under obama it could override especially all international law had we'll look at them in the supreme under way. all of the battle cold war belligerent war will and it has over and over and threaten the absolutely has metastasized out of control dominating everything else and just to wrap this up i mean to get some hope wow how can we get back i mean how do we cure the cancer how do we go back to valuing own life sequence instead of valuing money sequencer i mean is it too late. no it isn't too late we i mean i think the key issue probably is a public banking system which no economy as it works in the world they can work with a banking system that isn't even floated in the u.s. with the public thinking institute the people who are going to bull

in the beginning there'll be people in the system, some will be out of the system, that's okay. but we think we can create a kind of a norm in which people, it becomes a benefit to be part of a fair elections, a clean elections system. >> i think what we're seeing, what we see consistently in polling is that voters are so disgusted with what they see in their politics that they're willing to consider an alternative and they're willing to pay the costs of funding their elections a different way. >> is the new york model, the new york city model working? do you think it's working effectively? >> well, it's completely changing the way that candidates run for election. it's opened up the opportunity for different sorts of folks to run for election. and it means that those who are running and succeeding in the system are getting their -- are getting funded in their campaigns from small -- principally from small contributors rather than big contributors. i think that means that you have the opportunity to have a degree of trust in your government in new york city that you don't have e

so, that includes both the electrical systems in the building, fire sprinklers in the building, and the network system in the building, that support the communications and the video surveillance and the other systems. roughly 17 and a half million dollars worth of modifications and changes recommended there, he highlighted a few. allowing generators to back feed from one zone of a building to another. but also a number of other recommendations relating to the power systems separating the routing of primary and emergency power systems so that a physical interruption in a primary power distribution will not effect the emergency power distribution in the building so a great deal of redundantcy. we have a high level of reliability for those systems that support people exiting and emergency responsers entering the building. >> then, the situational awareness and intrusion detection, roughly 18 and a half million in that category. this includes as you are aware, video cameras, but also door electronic looking on doors and enhancement of electronic looks that were previously being provided. so

and the response is to say the health care system is just fine, it's the best health care system in the world, don't mess with it, don't change it. i think the second blind spot as conservatives in general but certainly in health care is that we tend to talk about policy, public policy philosophically, or with charts and data. charts and data are important. but a lot of times the we liberals have one argument is by talking about a single mother in oregon who doesn't have health insurance and what we need to do to help her, or the child who was born with cystic fibrosis, and how that child can't get health insurance. these are real challenges in our system, and there are other challenges that people who are insured, who have coverage, who are set up in the way we all think they should be, who struggle with a convoluted mess, the extent and the mistakes that arise in our health care system. with reflection of those two things, and reflection of those two things it's not that surprising it took a lifelong democrat, david gold hill, to write cover story in the atlantic about how the america

the judicial system. california and florida tend to lead the pack. in this case, unfortunately. florida, 0.7% of the entire budget goes to funding judiciary. the superior court in san francisco recently said that it will have to reduce its staff by 42% compared to where it was two years ago, and that it will have to close 25 court firms -- courtrooms. we have established a commission for the preservation of the justice system that is chaired by ted olson and david boyce, speakers at this great forum in the past, and 24 of the most prominent lawyers in the country, both women and men, all ethnicities, both sides of the aisle, to look at this issue. let me tell you what we found. in hearings around the country, we found the supreme court of georgia telling us that there court is so under-funded that she has to ask nexus' lexus for pencils for her law clerks. in ohio, you cannot finally pleading unless you bring your own paper. in new hampshire, the court closed the courts to all civil jury trials for a year

use of the system. .. or even ice if we see miss use or improper use. i would like to comment on the fact that employers are told specifically in all the guidelines, memorandum of understanding and all the material that they are not to prescreen employees and if we become aware of any such behavior we immediately refer those cases. last but not least i want to comment on the review process. guana t n c comes through and the employer sits down with the employees, the employee can contest the cnc and they have eight days to contact the federal government and provide whatever information. i want to point out what generates a cnc is a mismatch between the data entered and the data we are checking against other databases. employee does have eight days to come to the agency, or social security, correct that data. it could take longer for us to make that correction we hold that case as pending and notified the employer. the other thing i would like to add is while we don't have a formal process for for the final

and forget the health of the system forget the health of the participants or that the customers of these products the same here is we keep on being told it's safe to go back in the markets it's safe to stay in the markets even though in the financial markets they don't know what is actually in these derivatives i mean only a few weeks ago the financial stability board remember they said we found six trillion dollars more in the shadow banking system that we didn't know even existed the week before so these food vendors will be too big to sell they'll say we can't regulate food we don't care what's horsemeat donkey meat rat mate we don't care it's all meat meat is mate you've got it if you stop eating it the whole system will collapse meat you stupid british idiots reacher see deo's or collateralized debt obligations spreading this remarkably corrupt town we don't care just keep doing it now when you had the robo signing and mortgage fraud problems remember what it was what was it about it because nobody knew who owned the mortgages nobody own to the paper for this mortgages these package

how the system works. in health care we decide we don't want to be the customer. we want a circus be the customer. private insurers are the real customer, medicare, medicaid dcms and state agencies, they are the customer. and interestingly, if you step back from the intricate debates about health care and ask yourself, how well does the profit center work in health care. it works perfectly. the health care providers perfectly need the demands of these surrogates, which are very different from ours. i want to talk about how. let me talk about some of the biggest assumptions we have in health care. the biggest is actually reflected in our language. nobody, or almost nobody, almost nobody talked about health care practice. we all talk about health care costs. it's interesting in the political debate about health care. he always hear the word cost as if there's some independent thing going on, a certain amount of kryptonite that provides all the health care, we only have so much of it, it's priced on another p
