at the moment it hit me. this little girl who never picked up a book had finished it and anne frank doesn't make it and a marias' mind she was devastated because in her mind she had done bad things and therefore she was a bad person and she wasn't going to make it. and this good little girl didn't make it work maria's chances and i looked at her and fumbled and i wanted her to realize that in this book, in spite of everything that there was hope and maybe maria could find if we learn from our history we won't be doomed to repeat it and so maria had this idea rather than writing that boring book report, the five s.a., can i write a letter to the woman who saved anne frank, this simple secretary, a woman who for two years did everything she could to sacrifice her life for the lives of the others and i remember when maria sat down and picked up the journal she used to write i hate erin gruwell and if i wasn't on probation i would probably shake her and perfectly crafted the letter about promise, letter abou

gregoria petit at third base. third start of the season at third. cabrera, kevin -- kennedy, crosby and suzuki has caught all three games in this weekend series. >> well jones on it first. he does have four steals. here is reimold. and that's a fastball there for a strike and it's 0-1. reimold did not start in the game last night but after felix pie left after one at bat when he fouled the ball off his adam's apple and he eventually came in and hit a three run home run. a bouncer toward short. kennedy back to first. and beyond the first baseman and that goes into the orioles dugout and reimold will head down to second base. good job by adam jones at the bag at second base to upset the throw of adam kennedy. >> what a great slide by adam jones. you can see he is all over adam kennedy. good, clean slide. it is no problem whatsoever, sliding on top of the bag. the umpire at second base has a good look, gary darling and that's how you turn things around and that's how you snap four game losing streaks. >> now you have a runner in scoring position and ma

>> not at all. i have gone by the philosophy my whole baseball career, this is my 10th draft you have overseen. you never can make hay if you are drafting people that you can sign. you have to -- you can't have your draft picks solely on the fact you can sign the player. you have to give them what they are worth. you have to take the best player available, negotiate with them. if they want to play and get to the big leagues because the money is out there. it is not for the signing bonus. the sooner you sign a professional contract and play, the sooner you will be in the big leagues. >> ray: and that is what drew storen's daddy said. we are going to make that money up in a hurry. if he does what he is expected to do, he will make that money up in a hurry. i don't want to put you on the spot, but i have to. your evaluation of our ball club. we all know they have been playing poorly. you are sitting back there dying more than anybody every day. just your feelings. >> well, you know, my glass is half fu

court in theley had a good look at the end of regulation in game two at the bucket. is he dealing with that miss? >> you know, it's interesting. he says he actually went home and he watched tv as much as possible to see as many replays as possible. a lot of guys would just turn the tv off. he said he wanted it to sink in and wanted to get past it. when he got to practice, a lot of players were saying, look, dude, it's okay, it's not your fault. if we played well we would have won the game. so they're trying to take the pressure off him and see how hi does tonight. >> we heard stan van gundy, they didn't lose on that specific play. rachel, magic need a whip. what are the things the coaches are telling the players? >> the biggest thing is turnovers. they turned the ball over a playoff high 20 times in the last game. 20 chances to score. so they're looking to cut that number in half. if you don't have the ball you can't score and that's something the magic coaches have to emphasize. they want dwight howard to pass out more. he is getting double-teamed and he says, there

and so i worked under his tutlage at the ward. one of the patients that really struck me -- one of the first patients that i saw there and i think those of us in medicine can say that sometimes the first time you see something it really touches you the most. it was a young child who was called little cia and he was just a couple of years old and he had lassa fever and had been in the ward and just gotten in the ward when i arrived so i kind of felt a bond for him from being there. so this next chapter or piece is a little bit about me being there with little cia. so the ward was quiet for a while after that with dr. conte away at a hospital meetings and bryan off to work in the pediatric work. i was trying to use my research paper. what? i said. >> little cia be seizing he reported. >> now, i said? zuri not his head. i jumped to me feet and ran a few feet to see his bedside. amy was there. watching the 2-year-old boy shake from his head to toe. with only the whites of his eyes showing as if possessed. cia's mom stood next to him c

tied at 1-1.to extra innings now, bottom 10, tied at 4-4, david wright with one man on, jayson werth coming in to make the grab. wright has been red hot. hitting over .600 in his last 10 games. would have loved to get that hit. utley again getting it done -- his second home run of the game, second multi-home-run game of the season. phillies on top 5-4. ryan madson on to close it out replacing brad lidge on the d.l. with the sprained knee. he picks up his third save of the year. cole hamels started the game, 11 hits allowed ties a career high for him, but chan ho park gets it done. his first win since being moved to the bullpen. he's thrown out five straight scoreless innings. mets shot themselves in the foot. 16 left on base. >> jerry manuel not a fan of the loss, especially to a division rival. >> any game at this point for us -- like i said, we're trying to take games off the board because we're somewhat depleted, but any game that we have a lead, and i felt we got pretty good pitching for the m

fourth inning, jermaine dye swinging at a curve, jim thome, looking at a curve. fifth inning. paul konerko, what do you have? fastball, strike three. tigers up 2-1, verlander going for the complete game, thome strikes out, wow, verlander nine ks, one earned run in the complete game, his fifth career complete game, verlander 7-0 in his last nine starts with an e.r.a. of -- pause for dramatic effect -- 1.10, this is his first career win at u.s. cellular field, tigers take it 2-1. posada flies out to left field, the last out of the game, papelbon gets his 15th save of the season, the red sox hang on to win it 6-5. here's rick sutcliffe. >> red sox continue to have the new york yankees' number, it's odd, sut, a team the caliber of the yankees, they have not been able to beat them once. >> it's the second straight night that the yankees have struggled with their starting rotation, the pitching not what they had hoped it would be. we talked about chien-ming wong, and for him to regain the form of a 19-game winner, he's not a finesse type guy. he needs 93 or more miles per hour. 94,

there are the runners, baker at third, gload at second, coghlan at first, bonifacio at the plate facing baez. and silt low, 1-0. failtioning uehara in the fifth with the bases loaded, one down, bonifacio hit the ball back to uehara for a 1-2-3 double play. that ended the inning. and with his speed, that's pretty much the only way you're going to double him up unless it is a smash at one of the fielders. chris ray is about to start getting loose in the orioles' bullpen. chris is back with the team today. he was called up from triple-a norfolk. 1 ---the 1-0 is fouled off. >> buck: the marlins after being shut down effectively in the four innings have 10 ways runners now in the -- 10 base runners now in the last two and a third now with the force out at second base. >> jim: 1-1 on bonifacio. bouncer towards the middle. andino steps ton the base, throws to first and not in time and safe at second base. the second base umpire said that andino's foot never came down on the base. so no outs recorded arun in and florida has the lead. >> buck: the second base umpire standing right on top of the

i don't think testing at child at the end of the year and then saying, they are reading at the sixth grade level, shame on you. the problem there is you don't know where they came in. you don't know how much growth they have had that year. maybe they came in at the second grade level. if they moved up to the fifth grade reading level they have grown. that is amazing. but you will know that if you only test them at the end of the year. it's really needs to be very specific, measurable testing. beginning of the year. coming in. and that is what should matter, the growth. very transient state. high turnover in our school. we started with the same group of kids. that has never happened. so when we have all these children that move into our school districts we pick them up. public-school. picking up where you come in and try and move you forward as best we can. every child deserves to have the strength is not too, have their myself talk to. >> how you picked up on their weaknesses. >> wow, suddenly you know what their witnesses are. you don't focus on those so much to where they are not r

after the massacre at wounded knee, the frontier had closed, the car at the turn of the 19th century, the car had been invented, the train was crisscrossing the continent, and the horse came to be viewed as a cash crop. many people started to see it as an animal that was obsolete. there were two million horses on the range at that time. i mean, imagine that, two million wild horses running the west. for the next 30 years or so, there, a period known as the era of the great removal ensued, and hundreds of thousands of horses were taken from the range in very cruel roundups, led by men who were known as mustangers, and a lot of these men became famous and they are pictured on the cover of "life" magazine and other periodicals, and they presented themselves as brave hunters who were tracking down outlaws and demons, and, you know, the horse was really out of control and had to go, that was the language that fills all the chronicles of that era, and it's interesting to me that as the west closed, the horse -- the animal without which we have no west and certainly no country, came to be de

one of the things we talked about at monday's call to action was to look at all of these type of trainingissues that have been laid on the table. certainly today and over the last several weeks and to look at whether it is environmental, additional training and environmental, additional training on whenever, and that in all my years in the airline industry and i have been in it since 1971, i have never seen ever seen a decision by any airline regarding safety that would jeopardize safety because of cost. i just want to lay that out. >> mr. cohen, the senator was making the point and a perfect -- prickly reasonable point if we are flying through difficult economic conditions and regional carriers are smaller companies have substantial difficulty, isn't it likely that you have substantially less experience in that airplane? paying lower salaries and so on. does that have an impact on the capability of that airplane to fly through difficult circumstances? >> look, the airline industry has created for the most part in this country to difference systems. one is a hub and spoke system and the o

sex and gender at northridge and there is also the one inc. which was formed to trade one magazine in 1953. a part of my book, my research question was what inc. after many years of success splits in 1965 and it was an awful split. i wanted to know what happened, that was my primary research question, what happened in 1965 to cause this schism right down the middle. and the book is the result of that research. so i found that over the course of this history many of these people had some pretty significant falling out and didn't like each other a lot. if the had a some reason not to talk to each other or so they thought and as i was working with them i found that over the internet and the telephone it would start talking more and they had been ready for a long time to put these differences aside

but as we look at the various -- as we look at t.a.r.p. or as you look at it, i would like to get an understanding -- i know that these things evolve. and there's fine print in bills and people are able to be very entrepreneurial by taking advantage of a few words in a bill and starting to do a lot of other things with it. which i think we've all learned a lesson from in many, many ways. but is it your perfective that with these t.a.r.p. funds your primary goal is -- is in stabilizing the financial system, investing in things that will have value and that will return -- taxpayers their money? >> sir, as the law states, the financial stability program is intended to improve the stability of the financial system while protecting the interest of taxpayers. i think it's very important that i, if i'm confirmed for this responsibility, are mindful of both of those conditions. and i think it's early to say what the eventual returns will be to the american public. i can assure you that if i'm confirmed, i'm going to work very hard to make sure tha

they don't want to be at risk for this change. the payment reform has to be packaged with their changing the system. so those are the kinds of things i hope reform protects. and i think there will be reform. i obviously hope it doesn't come with a public option because i think we're showing in minnesota already that these can be done by the private sector. we have examples of it. and we're already heading down the path of reforming the system ourselves. and i don't think i have anything to add to the odds from what you all have already heard. i do think it's unclear at this point if there is going to be a major reform bill that would cover everyone or almost everyone, whether that's going to be primarily a democratic bill or one that will have some significant bipartisan elements and bipartisan support. the difficulty with doing something that's more democratic-only is not only trying to get the democrats unified behind the bill and there's a diversity of opinions there, but also that it creates real opportunity for political crit

they're working at restaurants, working at bars. >> i will be honest. i think part of what we need to do is when we retool, we're retooling for good jobs that are going to pay well. so i would think that for example we certainly need more people in math and science, we need more people in engineering. we need people to get into these new renewable energy industry that is i think are really going to pay off. so many other countries are so far advanced than we are in this area that i would hope that we could continue on that path. but also keep opportunities open for those dislocated workers, many who don't have a high school education who won't be able to get into community college but may be able to get into a short-term program, an apprenticeship program. we have the electrical workers unions that has partnerships and they help train people, turn them around from typically electricians to those now installing solar panels and a new grid system. so i think that there are opportunities for those that don't want to go on to college and maybe don't have th

it's a marvelous insider's look at american politics as it is played at the center. c-span: how did you get involved in this? you have a foreword and an afterword. >> guest: i had done a lot of interviewing of haldeman in my work on nixon, and we had gotten along quite well together, actually. he had consulted me a bit about this, and then when he died, before this book was published, putnam's asked me if i would write an intro and a conclusion to it. i said, "i will if you'll guarantee me that the whole diary is available to my fellow historians." they said, "absolutely, it is. it's going to be on cd-rom so that historians are free" -- this is about 20 percent of the whole of the diary, but the whole thing is now available to historians. and i said, "the other condition is that i can't have a censor on this. i know that jo is not going to like some of the things that i am going to say about her husband, but she is not going to have a censorship on it or i'm not going to do it." i was perfectly delighted they gave her a chance to do some writing in there and to say t

john hirschbeck at first base. at second base is walley bell and at third is marty foster. o's look to bounce back. the first pitch by brian roberts ripped to center field. there's a base hit. brian roberts on the first pitch of the game thinks about two and puts on the brakes. brian now has a six-game hitting streak as he singles leading off here in the first -- on the first pitch. >> buck: brian roberts doubled last night. came around to score. he he jumps on that first pitch fastball from ricky nolasco. just trying to get ahead nolasco went out over plate and brian roberts jumped all over it. >> tony: we'll see now if brian will -- >> jim: we'll see now if brian will test ricky nolasco as felix pie comes up. adam jones getting a rest against the right-hander. adam is just 8-51 over his last 12 games. that is a .157 clip for adam jones. you see the weather. 84 degrees, very muggy. partly cloudy and the sun now peering through. oh, did it rain here at 4:00. we were told every day at 4:00, it rains. i thought they were just damage raight. sure enough, -- exaggerating. sure

those were at the heart of the problem. we have very common standards relating to how to apply fair value we are working jointly to try to revamp, overhaul, improve our standards for accounting for the financial instance. we are working on a time frame to try to get the expose your out in the next few months. how can assets be directly market to market if there is no market. a situation of total market analysis. >> there is at the core of some of the issues that has arisen over the past year.(sÑ there are transactions going on for most things. there may be very inactive. it is not clear what the parties are and what their motivations are and the stress sellers and the like. the standards put out a few years ago which did not increase the fair value. the idea of marking as ets down in bad times has been around for centuries. but, the problems are that we have now got all these structured securities until people understand what is backing them up level 3 was meant for exotic derriff tiffs and things not liquid markets. there

they looked at the level of those benefits and decided to tax it at a certain level. or tax people at a certain income level. that could bring a lot of money to help finance reform. it is a very attractive pot of money, but fraught with political risk. in policy there is quite a bit of support for it. some of these high-cost benefits if they encourage over use of health care, democrats and republicans like this idea, but union groups have said that for their members, they say that would hurt their members. there will be political struggles. host: didn't barack obama campaign against this proposal? guest: john mccain 1 a to give you a tax credit. the president disagreed with that. he understands for congress is on the table. that give and take between the white house, congress, they have to find a way to pay for this. it may stay on the table. host: our last caller from massachusetts on the democratic line. caller: i have been listening to this argument for quite some time. they always bring up europe and socialized system in europe. i lived there for 26 years. i am st

batting at .343. and he will take the fastball for a strike. >> buck: doesn't make any difference who you're playing. if you're not making quality pitches to a big league club, you're going to get hit. when the orioles came to town the a's were at .239 as a club and don't look like that type of ball club now. >> gary: they are last in average in the american league. and 11th in runs scored. orioles pitching staff continues to struggle with the second highest e.r.a. talking hitting, the manager. 1-2 on kennedy. runner at 2nd. and the slider's going to miss inside. and count goes 2-2. two walks in the ball game have scored. nope, sorry. all three. berken has walked all three and they've all crossed the plate. 2-2 delivery to kennedy. breaking ball in the air. left center. oh, my. that wasn't a bad pitch but a great piece of hitting. kennedy's going to go to 2nd base. that will score cabrera and 8- 0a's lead. talk about waiting on a pitch. >> buck: watch how kennedy stays back on this ball. breaking ball

you at this point. i just think there's a tremendous amount of brain power that put to work can really help our great neigh. final thing, having sat in your seat at one point in my career, i just want to say congratulations. your family and i would say the same thing to commissioner mcdowell. your family can be so proud of this day. this is really great and i wish you the very, very best, very anxious to work with you in the weeks and months ahead. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator lautenberg. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and welcome. i enjoyed our chance to chat. and when we saw what recently happened, the federal governm t government, we moved from analog to digital. it promises better al qaeda till and it will flree of space for broad dand and public safety needs. i am pleased with how successful the transition was and i look forward to the benefits that it will brick to those residents of new jersey who had been in previous years out of good quality of transmission. they showed the kind

that was not the supposition at the time. >> we are up to $700 million at least. what is your opinion on that? >> i am not going to second- guess anybody decision, either at the outset or along the way. i will say that it has had profound consequences. it is the single biggest reason why the last election was lost, just the fatigue of at all. it was turning around, but not in time to make it obvious. $700 billion is a lot of money. there are some things that people so easily forget. i was in many, many meetings after september 11, national security council homeland security council. the only question was, where and when will the next attack be? there was no doubt in anyone's mind. no one there would have ever forecast for dare to forecast we go another eight years without an american life lost to terrorism. we all know tha the history that all over the world, intelligence believe there were weapons of mass destruction inside iraq. people should be a little more charitable. try to put yourself in the decision of the chair -- put yourself in the place of the decisio

and on north end, from new york to boston, it was at about 20% and is now, or 22%, it's now at about 49% in the same way system of we are demonstrating success. but the piece that we can't miss, and i think administrator szabo pointed it out, is that we need to do both. we need to talk about having very high speed and it needs to connect. t-bone needs, i listened carefully, i didn't hear it connecting to amtrak, it might. but amtrak is the only connected intercity service coast to coast, border to border in the united states. and we need the incremental improvements knot 90 to 110, so that people build a culture of riding the train. so they fill up the high speed trains that are connected in some fashion, and it might even be at an airport, but it could be somewhere else, where you connect our system. people want to be seamless. they don't want to go to the border of pennsylvania and new york at route 15, when we had to build the connection, if you remember, governor, to make sure that new york kept up with the leadership that was coming out of pennsylvania. to make that interstate c

that's a look at the at&t player of the game. now when we come back we'll have a little bit about chat about jason berken effort tonight. gave up a lot of doubles and the orioles lose to oakland 9- 4. reminder to meet adam jones the star doctor fielder from noon to 1:00 at the wendy's in front of hit cinema. visit masn sports.com. just a delightful person to talk to. when we go back he had a rough go. no doubt about that. look at statistics for tonight. he gave up so many doubles it tied a record set by mike. he gave up seven doubles in the game. and he gave up seven doubles back in '96. tonight the numbers three and a third innings, seven hits, allowed nine runs, three walks. and as you said, rick, earlier the walks all scored. it's tough. >> you look at the chart the way that we do this and you see that after every walk is a base hit. jason giambi has always been a dangerous hitter. we just talked about it without seeing the clip about how many good pitches they had to hit. the oakland a's are the worst hitting team in the amer

i wanted to make a point in looking at the court, how we look at the justices. obviously an interesting lineup. kennedy writes the accident, and briar joining roberts and alito in the accident. talking about how new justices can change the court, obviously we will see society mayor have her own impact on the court. >> if you look back to his first term on the supreme court, there was a case called white versus illinois. a man was convicted in a sex abuse case and he was trying to argue that the girl who accused him should have to go in and testify so he could confront her. he said no. whether or not the evidence was reliable as hear say. thomas wrote a powerful concurrence in which he urged the court to rethink the way it has looked at this entire issue. he looked back historically at how the framers surely must have been concerned about what they had season in english. he talked about the trial of sir walter raleigh, and the framers were concerned we not have these kinds of trials by after the. justice scalia quotes in length from that

michael had by now stopped looking at the baby. instead, he was staring at me, his mouth gaping. are you kidding me, he said finally. i know it's really time consuming, i said. yeah, you could say that. but it's really just a question of how committed we are. you know what, michael said, turns out we're not that committed. [laughter] he threw the syringe and the pack of needles into the trash. that night when the lactation consultant called to check up on our progress, michael took the phone away from me. we're finished, he told her, enough is enough. i pumped for a month or two after that until i'd stockpiled enough milk in the freezer, then i returned the pump and called it quits. for the next year, however, whenever i mixed up a bottle of formula for abraham, i felt shame that i still feel to this day. the good mothers would cast a glance at abe's bottle and loose their pendulous breasts from their cow-spotted nursing bras as they cuddled their expert nursing babies i would blush. i was a bad mother. the reaction i had to having failed to nurse a baby whose malformed pal at ma

for one thing he has taught oral history for a long time at brown university, and he has for long timeeen a studs terkel admire and fan. i think that you know, i think the art work was a real nice too. >> it is not all yours either. it is not all yours. >> i didn't mess around with his words. i did not change anything. so, you know. i just broke the text down into panels. some of the artists apparently didn't want to, i don't know what. but anyway, that's-- paul, i have been working with paul on a few projects now and he suggests-- >> when he suggested this did you all of a sudden go, were you excited immediately about it? >> i am always excited when i get a chance to make more money. [laughter] nothing frills me more. i, studs terkel, i have a connection with him and we both are real interested in quotidian life. >> mostly because you let it. this behe interviewed people about their jobs and i just used to just like, and i wrote about my job like an autobiographical thing, but i immediately saw like felt an affinity for him when i became aware of him in the '70s. >> did you ever meet

at this hearing and also to have the opportunity to have a texas presence at the hearing because you and i, mr. chairman, have worked far long time on amtrak, keeping amtrak viable and i will say that possibilities for high-speed rail, it becomes even more important to have the national system have the opportunity for high speed rail to connect into amtrak and provide better synergism and ridership and service to amtrak and the high speed rail that i do think will help ease the traffic congestion in many parts of our country. i was pleased that you mentioned the amtrak reauthorization bill last year. the first amtrak authorization bill, before this last one, was 1997, and i sponsored that as chairman of the service transportation subcommittee. i think we did some great reforms to begin the process of having a federal partnership for capital grant programs for state, be able to invest in rail and that is an important step forward to making it more viable. any successful rail project is going to have multiple partners, private sector, federal, state, it is so expensive. the early inves

america and the courts, tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> july 4 weekend on book tv, discover an unfamiliar sight of our nation's first president, as we are all live from george washington's mount vernon estate with john ferling. join our conversation sunday, july 5, live on "in depth." >> staff members from the white house and various federal agencies discuss how legal change can be achieved in today's policy environment. >> good evening. i am the president and the center for american progress. on behalf of the american constitution society, i would like to welcome all of you to tonight's plenary panel which is entitled the levers of change, help progress is made in today's policy environment. i would also like to extend a special thanks to all of our panelists who have been generous enough to donate their vital time to participate in this discussion. we have several members of the administration up here, and given the pace of the new administration, i think spending a friday evening doing anything but being in a catat
