that is an important part of the story. i think that is right that we recognize that, for some time, the degree of integration across drc south has been something that we have tried to explain to people. it is not that the britain owns part of the afghanistan. we are part of a coalition effort across the south, supporting the afghan government. we have also got troops in kabul, and relatively small number. i testified in front of the senate committee on foreign relations, your sister organization in washington. senator kerry, the chairman of the committee, and a number of other senators went out of their way to see that on the basis of the visits that they had paid to afghanistan, including to the south, they wanted to send a very clear message about the admiration and respect the americans and american politicians felt not just for the british military effort, although particularly for that, but for the british diplomatic a and a work that was coming on. it is important to emphasize that from everything i hear, americans a

let me try to address part of it. as john said earlier in almost every case as we were doing the many interviews for the book we were dealing not with strangers but with people we had a very positive and strong working relationships with over decades so in the process we explain to them in great detail what we were doing. we explain the kind of book it was and the terms on which we were speaking and history is important. one of the things we've learned at what times to our panic is as time passes people's memory gets worse. there are not a lot of memos, so there is an oral history here that if we hadn't stepped in and done these interviews when we did i think a lot of it would have been lost. people have said the notion we rely on people with axes to grind. i have to tell you, john might feel differently i can't remember more than five interviews at most in which the people we were interviewing clearly were trying to spin the story, trying to reflect a point of view. they were in almost every instance very purely coop

that is one of the bizarre parts here. it is why in my unexpected leave for me i end up writing a book about checklists and health care because solving these problems is really about saying we are going to be much more disciplined and organized about how we provide care. i designed with my teammates surgical checklist with the world health organization that is a two minute check to make sure there are 19 things to get right in every operation and i was stunned to see into out of three cases before we brought it in patients had one of those key life saving steps missing. we then implemented it in eight hospitals. we saw in a thousand patients the reduce the complication rates by more than 35% in the savings from this kind of program which we depletive need cities, is massively more than anything we have invested in it, but we don't work on these kinds of organizational problems and medicine probably because the incentives have not been there and partly because we as experts don't think of these as problems to work on. >> ho

with one part of the government cutting, another part of the government adding, you almost have a draw. the senate is proposing an even smaller bill on the order of $80 billion and everybody's getting obsessed with deficit reduction. it's much too soon in this cycle to focus on deficit reduction. we probably need another year or two of heroic public investment and democrats and republicans can argue about whether the increased deficit ought to take the form of tax cuts or increased spending. but one way or the other, we need more stimulus before we start obsessing about deficit reduction. >> brown: mr. malpass are you obsessed with deficit reduction. >> i would like to see the deficit reced. but what i don't think works is having the government spend so much and wastefully because then the public conserves and offsets it. there really isn't any net stillless i don't think. we saw $187 billion package last year that they said was going to be shovel ready projects. but in new york state, for example, we don't see that. there's no acceleration of the moynihan train station. that's an impo

let me try to address part of it.e were dealing with people with whom we had strong working relationships with over decades. in that process, we explained to them in great detail what we were doing to be explained what kind of book it was. the terms on which we were speaking. history is important. one of the things we learned, at times to our panic, is that as time passes, people's memories don't work. there is oral history here that if we had not stepped in and done at these interviews when we did them, in what it would have been lost. people have said -- howard kurtz,'s piece and others -- that we rely on people with axes to grind. i have to tell you -- john mayfield of a -- i could john -- upjohn may feel differently -- i can think of five that most or people were trying to spin the story but they cooperated with us to realize that this was an important moment in american history. that process revealed a lot of stories that we were able, over time, to merge together. there is not a single " controversial" story lin

it will be a big part of the storm and will not be a big part of the storm for us. between 3:00 at 7:00 in the morning is when we see snow showers every morning. temperatures in a few spots will be close to 30, and will have everybody above freezing. the wind really picks up in the afternoon and evening hours kind of an unusual storm. the strongest storm of the winter pressure was, but it has this track that the models say is going to do. it will do a little loop inland and back. through tomorrow morning, and tomorrow night, thismakes -- these are the totals. only a trace, maybe 2 inches. if we go further east, it maybe three or four. 2 feet of snow in some areas in new england. 40-50 mile an hour winds. that will take down trees and power lines. there is the outline for the next seven days. big wind. it still may be wendy over the weekend, but many of it through sunday, monday, tuesday. >> when was the last time we had four straight days of th weather? >> i can't remember. >> there you go. >> while we brace for another storm, another family thinks it is a bit much.

on into parts of north texas. the radar is showing not only an area of rain in texas, b it's raining in wichita falls, raining right now into north texas and then it's snow out into new mexico. tonight, what we'll be seeing as we go through the next 24 hours, high pressure in on us. a lot of sunshine tomorrow. more melting. here comes that storm. first in the form of rain in the southeast. then as it runs into the cold air, the snow spreads up and over us. by friday, the snow is around us and it will continue to point up as we go through friday night on into saturday. so for the remainder of the evening, partly cloudy skies tomorrow when you get up and head out. the clouds will be out of here. this was the moisture going up into the atmosphere from that me melting of the snow. lot of sunshine tomorrow. watch out for the wet spots. it will be icy with temperatures tomorrow afternoon getting above freezing. so good day to begin, think about preparations. certainly this is -- as any of the big storms are, this is a d

the other thing is parts suppliers.at's amazing is that the american parts supplier was actually delivering the safer model and that your subsidiary -- and i don't know whether you're aware that a little after 3:00 the fbi raided three toyota suppliers. and one is this one that made the pedal that's causing it. there is clearly going to be an investigation as to that. i also want to thank you if you are going to be an american company for working with our parts suppliers. i understand you need multiple suppliers, that having -- and it's good to have the competition. that's how we get better things. i understand why as a corporation you need legal protection. although you need to be honest about what's happening here. when you have hearings like this more people file lawsuits. you have to protect yourselves and stockholders. i understand that. but in looking for safety i urge you to look at the american suppliers. i don't know if it was whether you were trying to do cost controls internally on your historic system, but w

and that's all part of a three-pronged approach. as you know the president has his initiative for the freeze or cuts in the budget for next year and i'm very pleased with that. i believe we have to subject every federal dollar spent to very close scrutiny to make sure the taxpayer is getting his or her money's worth and then the president will niche -- initiate his commission addressing largely the entitlements. this is serious action on every front. whether it's how you pay for it, the review knew side as -- as you make proposals, how you cut in terms of the budget and preparation side and again, how we address the entitlements in general. so this is a happy day. you've heard me say this has a provenance on both the right and the left. the left and progressive side of the party. george miller, 1982, the democratic convention in philadelphia introduced this as a resolution and it became part of the democratic platform that year. it wasn't until much later that it was implemented and part of the success of president clinton's budget.

but that's part of the debate.omy through the fall of 2008 and through last year, in an effort to help banks and credit markets and to prevent the financial system from imploding. they did that by lower the interest rates, and now they have to pull that back. they have to pull the federal reserves investments in the economy back. and they have to do that carefully because they don't want to cause problems in doing so, which is something that could happen. it will be delicate. markets are watching when this will happen. if he doesn't do it right, you will see plunges in stock values. host: what is the update? guest: last week senate dodd announced he was at an impasse with senator shelby, and it's not a good sign. there are some republicans who said they were committed to get a bill. one thing to watch is bob corker, a new senator from tennessee, he's working with mark warren, the former virginia governor, and they are working on some aspects of the bill. if they can get an agreement that could roll into a larger pa

but it's only a part of the story. in economics, people think about the stock market, interest rates. it is about those things but as a student told me once after she went from her teacher, economics is a study about how to get the most out of life. it's better choices, the fact that we don't have an infinite amount of time in an amount of money and we accuse our time which is so precious. and not merely accumulating material goods. in that sense, economics is to come back to smith and not be as focused on the material. and i think it's useful people understand that's an important role in economics. >> host: here's a quote from "the wealth of nations," book three, chapter three, part 3. >> guest: well, that's a bit misleading. i think it might tend to encourage you to think that making stuff is the road to prosperity. that certainly didn't say that. what he believed was that our skills should be used as widely and successfully and productively as possible. and the way we do that is through our free choices of buying an

the denso part is different than the part made in indiana by a company called cts. cts uses some plastic pieces involved in this pedal assembly. the denso part uses a bolt. and so you could say why do the american cars get the plastic pieces and why did the japanese cars get this bolt. and i really don't know the answer. but the fact is that the denso parts are not having this problem and the parts that are prescribed for the american cars are. >> woodruff: but toyota is saying they are confident that this is it? >> they are saying that they are confident that this is it. and they say that they-- for their understanding, what they call the embedding of these floor mats in the pedals, the taking out the floor mats and replacing those pedals will fix that problem. and putting this little shim, i guess you could call it, into these pedals will fix that problem. >> woodruff: an how long do they say this is going to take to get to all the cars? >> it takes about a half an hour per car. and here's the situation. they have millions of people who have these cars that have b

parts of reston saw five inches but parts only awe three inches.irginia, 4.8 inches with this system. let's talk about the weekend storm. i'll tell you what we know and there are some things we don't know. it's complicated storm system but it does look lake we're on track for another storm friday into saturday. starts as rain-snow friday afternoon or evening. temperatures for this one are crucial. there are some indications that some warm air will work its way in, perhaps change that snow to sleet for a period which would keep down snow totals. models seem to be lining up. it could be a significant storm. by that, i mean with moderate to high snowfall amounts, snowfall totals across the viewing area. we'll keep our eyes on that. i don't want to alarm anybody but it does look like this could be a significant storm. fredericksburg is at 34 degrees at this hour. the winter storm warning has been taken down. no longer in effect. a few early snow showers he and there. some afternoon sunshine, high about 41 degrees. that is enough to get some melting und

to part of the t.i.g.e.r.oncern come up with the administration out t.i.g.e.r. grants and some other accusation as it relates to that. do you think it for predict ability is better to run to the spending formula for predictability? >> i think the t.i.g.e.r. grant process has in particular, has shown that there's a value for both, where merit-based projects, that don't fit within one of our existing formulas and typically can be funded any other way. and one illustration in the t.i.g.e.r. award that you saw last week would be our freight rail capacity projects thomas or it's incredibly important an economic development standpoint, but it can't get funded any other way. it's a program like t.i.g.e.r. is the only way they were going to be able to make those investments. so the combination of formula funds, which the state and our other recipients now and are good at getting projects out the door in the merit-based projects like t.i.g.e.r. for one of the ones that don't but in that category is actually good combin

also in a related vein, part-time, people are part-time for economic reasons declined. so what that means is our broadest measure of labor under utilization, it is those that are unemployed plus those that are discouraged plus those that are part-time, who want to be full-time, that declined from 17.3, a 16.5%. that is a drop of .8 percentage points. that was a nice sign. temporary help has added as you know, temporary help has added now almost a quarter million jobs over the past four months. that's quite often a leading indicator of strengthening in the labor market. manufacturing workweek now increased 23, .3 hours this month and 1.2 hours since june. that also is a leading indicator, it is an indicator of strengthening in the labor market. and then, of course, there are a number of other -- there some other data, non-labor market data that indicate there may be some signs of strengthening in the labor market. >> could you comment on any are there indicators that overall job losses will continue to slow? and turn positive in the coming months? >> well, without specul

. >> to interject briefly, howard, part of that is how we tend to see history as a narrative of great men, and most of the great men and i say men because most of the men as defined by american historians and european historians as well are white men and so that necessarily excludes a lot of ordinary people who have had a tremendous impact on this country. >> ebony, let me bring you in. what's interesting about your blog, hello negro, is the idea of what you try to do and that is have real conversation and debate around subjects, i'm curious, and how long has your blog been up? >> since 2004. >> so in those years, in those six years, how often does the question of history come about in conversation, because as ellis suggests, not just in the african-american community but in america, history to a great degree has fallen by the wayside. >> not as much as i would like to see, i think. the thing that pops into my mind in discussion of how history is giving us context, i think the lack of history has had african-americans, young african-americans strive for things that are more acquainted

this could be across parts of the eastern shore. they have a potential for a mix of some sleet and rain mixed in. hear, a good chance for heavy snow, until at least the early afternoon -- here. sunshine and breezy on sunday and monday and another weaker storm coming next week with a chance for more snow. the slightly warmer temperatures have prevented it from being too bad, but they will be getting colder. >> u.l. little league be here -- you will literally be here all night? >> yes. >> yes. >>

looking at a drier scan for the central part of the state and the western part of the state, but thetern shore still seeing icy conditions to the south and east. otherwise, we're looking at improvement not seeing anything as you can he see on hd radar as we get a closer view of the city. there was snow. you see the evidence as you step out of it this morning. as we have been hearing, the main roads looking pretty good, and the back roads still a problem. we will get it from candace and things are shaping up better now than they were overnight. to the east we're seeing more activity still. that is where we picked up the highest. take a look at this, 6.25 inches. and 3 inches and 3 inches toward cambridge and toward pock mow city an 1.33. and in the city we picked up about four inches of snow in the general. up to 4.5 inches. there's been areas, up to 5-inch in spots. and it's 5 1/2 inches in d.c. down toward the western part of the state, 3.75 inches there. and 3.75 to the east and bel air, too. and almost 3 inches of snow in bel air and jarrettsville, 2.5 as you head northeast and ch

part of the spirit of having so many zsters tough tropical storms.normous i'm going to have to move on and provide for my family. i'm going to have to keep going in this trooper spirit. >> we'll bring in our viewers and listeners. this is from the twitter comment getting to the earlier point. how did they come up with the number after so many bodies had been dumped into mass graves? that was really striking for me. it was hard to see the mass graves. it just looks like something, you couldn't imagine of hell. just these piles of bodies. in other countries like, say, china. they would try to photograph and fingerprint each body. this wasn't happening in haiti. the scope of the disaster made it impossible. with the tsunami, you had this wash of wave come in. there wasn't a huge amount of dead bodies. here, they were everywhere. you needed to get them out of the populations so they weren't spreading disease. that was a really important priority. almost every building over four floors were gone. thank you, her reporting available on line attime.com. we'l

part of what made the problem -- part of what contributes to haiti's isolation today.d independence from france, and in many ways, he became an orphan child of the caribbean, where it lost the patron country, where it lost its colonizers. it gained independence, but it lost help from the country's third of the u.s. was not interested in helping of the time. the u.s. was still expanding and becoming its own country, expanding west, and they did not pay that much attention, and they were not a superpower as they are today. france eventually demanded to compensate them for the land lot of. haiti had to boor row money in order to pay france back. they were indebited to us and france in paying for their independence for the decade of generations. that led in many ways to haiti becoming much less developed it is striking when you go. i drove across and you drive through this amazingly lush land. all the way west through the dominican republic. it's green and beautiful and you get to the hatian border, it's like a dust goal. the difference is so striking. it's been completely

north eastern parts of maryland, howard county and northern parts of prince george's county could be some areas of 20 inches by the time it winds down late tomorrow. i'll give you details and the timeline when i join you in a few more minutes. >> thank you, bob. >>> getting around on the slick city streets is vital for emergency vehicles. some fire trucks have snow chains and others are relying on backup with firefighters with shovels. darcy spencer with more on the effort to navigate the d.c. roads. >> reporter: hi, jim. it has been difficult for these emergency vehicles to get around. take a look at the roads and conditions they are in. now they are getting help from firefighters driving around in four-wheel drives. the district fire department's community service unit is backing up ambulances and helping on emergency calls. the workers are making sure residents get the help they need as this new round of snow makes it tougher for emergency vehicles to get around. >> the ambulances are getting stuck on some of the streets. we are taking these four-wheel drive trucks out and helping

and have had good reason not to be but that's part of the past and that's part of i think also the process of healing and recovering and so i took on the idea of the 12 steps because i think it was an important part to get to recovery so that's kind of the background and we will get into more of it but before i do i do want to thank wendi mccaul for her sponsorship of the speakers series of 2010. but a gift to the community in america to have the way says that come through here and have shared with you in a broken bread with you get out there so people can see and hear what conservatism is in the 21st century and some of the things we face, the challenges and opportunities, so i know she's not here but i did want to thank her publicly for her support of the series and her work with the foundation and certainly to the members of the president's club and the rawhide circle -- i won't even go there, as rawhide, had to think about that because i'm from the east coast soap rawhide means something completely different. [laughter] usually it is what you have after your mother is tonnes thinking y

helping out in various party parts -- parts of maryland. and he talked about that serious wreck up in harford county. >> we have had one very unfortunate accident in harford county. on 462 and 95, where a van, with two adults and three children appears, from preliminary reports to have run into the back of one of our private trucks out there. so we hope and pray everybody will be okay out of that. but it was a serious accident. which is why we emphasize again how treacherous it is out there. and how many pieces of equipment there are. >> the governor predicted that there could be as many as 100,000 power outages because of the seriousness of this storm. he says it is probably the worst storm maryland has experienced since 2003. and the winds have been picking up out here. you can see the flags over my shoulder here. they're blowing quite a bit, as is the snow right here in my face. really, miserable evening out here. we'll send it back to television hill in baltimore. >> well, i'd help myself in all afternoon. but mike, i hope you have a ha

it has to be part of a package.umber two -- we have to deal with insurance abuses that affect millions of americans who have health insurance. number three, we have to make health insurance more available to people in the individual market. those in the california who are suddenly seen their premiums go up 39%. it applies to the majority of small businesses as well as a sole proprietors. they are struggling. i have these goals. we had a package as we work through the differences between house and senate. we will put it up on the website for all to see over a long period of time. one that meets those goals. when i was in baltimore talking to house republicans they indicated that we can accomplish some of these at no cost. i said great. let me see it. i have no interest in doing something that is more expensive and harder to accomplish when someone else has an easier way. i will be starting from scratch in the sense that i will be open to any ideas that help promote these goals. what i will not do, what i do not think

basically, the bill has two parts. first, it would require the president to compile a public list of individuals who are complicity in human rights violations, no matter where they occur. i want to stress this will be of public list posted for the world to see. this will impose the full battery of sanctions under the international emergency economic powers act. that means blocking any property they hold under u.s. jurisdiction, ending their transactions with other entities and this would be the first time the u.s. government has ever imposed punitive measures against persons in iran because of their human rights violations. under this bill, iranian human rights abusers would be completely cut off from the goal will reach of the u.s. financial system, and they will send a powerful signal to every bank in the world but they should think twice before doing business with the oppressors of the iranian people. it should now be clear that the ruler of iran have no desire to meet their international response abilities and ever

what i mean is that in large part of the muslim world are not a part of the globalization supply chain by which i mean when we think about other areas of the world like east asia or latin america or eastern europe there are those economies produce things that are components to things built elsewhere and then are built elsewhere and ultimately are things you and i by. but if he went to wal-mart today you don't find too many things that say made in the arab world. there are not many components or things that have components that are built in the arab world. yes we trade with many parts of the muslim world. we buy oil for agricultural products and they by finished goods but that does not mean those economies are actually participating in the global economy in the manner that is a brazillian argentinian, caribbean and these other economies to. that is a very important fact. when we talk about a globalized world in which the large parts of the world is integrated economically and to one another. that production, trade, etc creates relationships and networks between people sitting outside of

i think there is a commitment on the part of both countries to do that. and i -- something i talked about, a lot, with all a -- up to the vice presidential level, and when i was in washington in january as well as when i was in pakistan in the first week of january, and, there are few more important relationships, to the security of the world than the u.s.-pakistan relationship. it has a long way to go from -- to become its own productive relationship, that it needs to be. >> what about the u.k.-pakistan relationship, and, particularly, with regard to cross-border security corporation, with our forces and u.s. forces. >> our forces are a long way away from the pakistan border. if you look at -- think about the helmand, it is a very, very long distance from the further south we are in afghanistan, and it is... 150, 200 kilometers, 150 kilometres down to the pakistani border and in terms of border cooperation it is about afghan-pakistani cooperation and to go to the kind of... in the control room, i have not seen them next to each other, that is is a remark

but that's part of the past and that's part of i think also the process and recovery. and so i took on the idea of the 12 steps because they think it was an important part to get to recovery. so that's kind of the background and look into little bit more about the beef for me do i want to thank wendy mccaw for sponsorship of this series for 2010. what a wonderful gift to the community and to america to have the voices that have come through here and to have shared ratio and a broken bread with you. get out there so people can really see and hear what conservatism is in the 21st century and some of the things that we face the challenges and the opportunities. so wendy, i know she's not here, but it did want to thank you publicly for her support of the series in her work with the foundation. certainly two members of the presidents club and the rawhide circle, i won't even go there. i had to think about that because i'm from the east coast. so rawhide means something completely different. [laughter] usually it's what you have after your mother is done spanking new. [laugh

part of the question is, are they quick impact or is it, are there long-term focus? and then frankly in the areas i would say that are most vulnerable to the insurgency and that are most insecure, there are also in my view have to a counterinsurgency part of that. in other words, they have to help encourage the population to oppose insurgent as well. because otherwise as we've seen, insurgents will intimidate. they will destroy in some cases, a developer and project. so i think they have been effective in some cases. where they been able to be stable over the long run, and also where they have been involved in really helpful, long-term counterinsurgency partner as well. >> mark moyar, are we nationbuilding? >> depends on what you mean by nationbuilding. i think we are to some extent changing their institutions. i think perhaps more important we are trying to build a national culture there. which has been weak in the past that one of the things i got the opportunity to see, spent time looking at the national military academy. and they are actually with 18-year-olds, t
