it is a view, of course, that i have long shared.eneral slim, commander of the 14th army, who led the allied burma campaign, wrote about his first encounter with my father in his memoir defeat into victory. the meeting came towards the end of the war, shortly after my father had decided that the burmese independence army should join forces with the allies. general slim said to my father, 'you've only come to us because we are winning'. to which my father replied 'it wouldn't be much good coming to you if you weren't, would it'. slim saw in my father a practical man with whom he could do business. six decades later, i strive to be as practical as my father was. and so i am here, in part, to ask for practical help, help as a friend and an equal, in support of the reforms which can bring better lives, greater opportunities, to the people of burma who have been for so long deprived of their rights and their place in the world. as i said yesterday in oxford, my country today stands at the start of journey towards, i hope, a better future.

that we have to find a long-term solution, but that the president's action makes reaching a long-term solution more difficult. if i'm president, we'll do our very best to have that kind of long-term solution. >> howard fineman, i think i know how it plays with the respected bases of the parties, both the "rs" and the "ds," but the critical question is how does it play with the "is," the independents? >> that's one reason why mitt romney was being as careful here as i thought. he was saying long-term, not short-term. he wasn't denouncing it. i think that's important. that's because it is a close question. if you're talking about swing voters as independents, then a lot of those swing voters are latinos. and i think this is very important for them, and a plus for the president. if you're talking about white working class americans, in states such as ohio and north carolina, in nevada, and elsewhere in florida that are swing states, also, then i think it's a closer question. it's obviously a very political thing. obviously, it's not about the number one topic in the country and in the el

a long way to go to repair that damage. growth not as strong as we would like. what we try to do is to put out as clearly as we can as powerful and creative set of proposals for helping resolve that as possible and to legislate as many as we can. and we've tried to choose ones that have had a tradition of broad bipartisan support in the hopes that would ease the prospect of legislation. and that's what we're going to keep doing. of course, we can't just focus on growth now. we've got to worry about growth longer term. we believe as many people believe that those things would be best combined with a balanced long-term plan to restore fiscal sustainability. that's why you have to think about these two things together. we're having -- we're having a debate and it's an important debate about how to solve the long-term fiscal problem, but what's the right way to help growth now, broad based growth right now. you're trying to meet the tests you meet when you govern which is to lay out what we're for. >> you just disproved your point, you are right on the message. >> t

very long. very long. so you're right. in the 20th century we build the panama canal that cuts all of that off. >> did magellan's crew settle in australia or -- >> no, they come into the philippines. they don't set foot in australia. they never touch australia. they come across the islands, borneos and around the cape of good hope and back home. australia is one of the late discoveries, one of the later discoveries. yeah. other questions? yeah. >> so it seems it was the french right after that? >> yes, it's john cabot. i'm story jacques cartier in the 1530s will be sailing here in the north. what cattier and what cabot are looking for is what once the europeans understand that there's something here called north america, what they really want then is what do you think? what do they want then? they want a way through it. they're still fixated on getting to the east. so jacques cartier and john cabot are looking for a water route. a water route that can get them through this obstacle. they view this an obstacle. they're look

a great place to be long.talk about it because the correlation with crude oil, long-term prospects for crude oil. but the glut you talk about is driven for propane. we are producing ethane now but we have had a lot of the crackers in the gulf coast that have been down. >> the refinery process. >> $250,000 barrels a day, a significant part of the complex have been down. they are coming up through the last half of the year. and the long-term prospects for ethane are bright because there are more and more of the petrochemical industry beginning to convert to ethane-based fee stocks. so i would like to talk about the fact that long-term, even with all the production of ethane coming online with the shale plays the fact is ethane has a very bright future. so many conversions are taking place. in the worldwide economy even if weak they will need the demand -- continue to drive the demand for ethane. >> let's step back. i think your story gives you a yield, but you have tremendous amounts of money in utica which is i

others have signed long-term leases as well. they are in it for the long haul. i think they are measuring their success, building it up on that. not only innovating and starting up, we want them to stay and grow. we have been creating those conditions for that conversation to happen. >> michael connolly said, anything to add to that? is this the right time in the valley? is there a bubble? >> i would like to speak about the clean technology sector. there was a little bit of a bubble that emerged in 2005, 2006, 2007 time frame. what has happened since then is you see the landscape changed. there have been a lot of companies and vc's, founders, that are focused on very few investments in companies but are in it for the long run. the time and invested it takes to build a clean tech company. the difference with clean tech, there might be large facilities required, investment to build your first plant, for instance. we are seeing a change in the landscape. one thing i want to add, too, for clean tech, there are organizations like the clean tech opened that foster inn

strike 1 that may have led to the ejection of kevin long. >> that had kevin long looking from the dugout. now he's talking about davidson and sure enough, davidson was close enough to the yankee dugout where he could hear long and joe girardi going out to protect the hitting coach. >> rodriguez, where are-1, a big chance for rodriguez. you could read the lips of kevin long to start that. but the first things he said, what are you looking at? that got the attention of bob davidson and whatever followed got kevin long ejected. the count 1-1, rodriguez, trying to deliver for the yankees and tie this all.

he's been out here all morning long. if we have anything else we'll bring that to you live. >> thank you cara. at 9:31 we're staying on for another half hour here on mornings on 2. we've seen lines at the ferry. some people waited in line for over two hours to try and get a bus to get across the bay. ktvu claudine wong is live at 19 bart station. many people waiting but last time we checked in with you there were finally some buses there. so what was the delay? why can it take so long to get buses there there. >> >> now we have another supervisor on scene and they're trying to get the buses ready and hear and everyone has been asking that same question, what took so long, what can we expect, and all we have gotten from ac transit is they are in crisis mode and they are trying to deal with this the best they can. certainly some people are asking how come they didn't get school buses and do this and this and certainly that's going to be something they do after the fact when they talk about a crisis plan in case something l

>>will: how long will the tests to take and how long will the project take?st thing for us to do right now is to not speculate that this simply say that the morning rush hour is out of the question in terms of transit service. 43 of our stations are open but the was oakland station is closed. people could check on the our web site or all of our twitter feed that we will keep them up-to-date in an official way. tough >>will: fortunately we got an update from one of the engineers that tells me, the conference platform, that was not damaged at they do not have to knock it down. they only need to make short 56 in the insulators and a the third real but as far as the heavy lifting it will not be the platform itself. scoff >>james: has jim heard from oakland fire as to when his guys will get full access? >>will: in detail when the oakland fire department might turn over this scene to you? six >> i do not know. i have not had much chance to talk to the oakland police or fire department. i am not sure, but we have all hands on that right now. we are ready to move in

like the buses, lines were extremely long. ktvu's carra liu is live at jack london square. >> reporter: that's right. a lot of traffic here at jack london throughout the morning. this is about the first time all morning that we have not seen a long linebacked up here at the ferry. that's because the ferry service added additional ferries. in the past hour, most of the folks we have seen headed out are giants fans going to the game. folks headed to the u.s. open or others visiting the city. an estimated four to five times the normal number of passengers took the lines today. it did move rapidly for folks once they got moving. they waited maybe a half hour, maybe less. san francisco ferry said that they scrambled to get more in. a lot of folks in line told us this has been an hours long commute for them to get to work. one man took b.a.r.t. for a stretch and then used the bus and took the shuttle to get down here to london square. he estimated it took him four hours to get to work. >> what can you do? there is nothing else you c

janet, your long-term outlook coming cbo's long-term outlook, which were discussing today also confirms that continuing to do business as usual, extending all current tax and spending policies will produce unsustainable deficits and debt, which will also hurt the economy in the long run. taken togetherare committed to cbo reports reinforce the fact congress must adopt a two track strategy of one, enough to boost our fragile economy and help more americans back to work and number two, acting now to put in place a balanced approach to long-term deficit reduction that doesn't take resources out of the economy in the near term. this is the opposite approach of those who advocate for immediate steep austerity measures come in the type that have been pushed by some of our european partners like the u.k. and put them back into a recession. on the first step, putting americans back to work, we need to enact the president's jobs plan that the white right has sent to congress nine months ago. that proposal includes significant new investment in building roads, bridges and other at a time of 14% u

my favorite, on the other hand, is a book with a very long title, no the as long as general mcclellan's title for his book, "the smooth boar volley that doomed the confederacy," a collection of essays published by lsu in 2002. bob was born and grew up in california. he earned his bachelor's degree at pacific union college in 1965, and his master's degree at san jose state university in 1967. i should probably stop here, but i can't pass up the temptation to mention one of bob's great hates and one of his great loves. the hate, of course, being general james longstreet. and his great love, his son, robert e. lee crick. obviously impressed by his father, because he followed in his footsteps. dr. carol reardon is george winfreed professor of american history at penn state and scholar and residence at the george and ann richards center for the study of the civil war, also at penn state university. she earned her bachelor's degree at allegheny college in 1974 and completed her ph.d. at the university of kentucky in 1987. she is, this year, the general howard k. johnson visiting professor of

before the french revolution, 1771, long before the french revolution, 2006, long before what was happening in france and is happening in greece, is happening in egypt, it is get 'em. what are we hearing from so many people? get 'em. it's the rich. it's those guys. whoever those guys are. it does not matter. it doesn't matter. we can make those guys and to anybody. that is not the answer. this is from 1836. this is after ander jackson, six years and manifest destiny and there was a big market crash. the whole country is starting to start and the talks about it was not possible although six months ago the despondency among the minds was nearly hopeless, how business should die entirely unless the nation had died also, a nation as large as our on consuming continually. we have become consumers. this is 1836. all we are doing now is consuming. have we forgotten everything? have we forgotten about god? god is just going to correct this because he needs us to be corrected because we are a special place no matter what anybody says. we are a special place. we have problems and god needs to correct

the fact people are loving long sere not something we should be upset about.ant to disagree with something pretty fundamentally. we either have a spending problem because we're not willing to pay for taxes and commitments, or we have a revenue problem spending more than we're willing to tax. there's two sides of the coin. >> you can say it's a spending issue if we are repeating the exact same mistakes they made in europe. in europe for the last 30 years they keep raising taxes but the politicians spend the money and then they raise taxes again. the tax trog never catches the spending frog, and the taxes kill the private economy and that's exactly what we're seeing in europe because austerity in most of europe means raise taxes to try to protect the so called public sector. >> go ahead, stan. >> i can't believe you would want to cut in the midst of this slow economic recovery. i agree there is a long-term issue, but we would be allowing all of these spending cuts and tax increases to go into effect in january when the economy can't handle it and austerity would

this was a long time ago, correct? >> that's right. and probably even more importantly, his mother, as far back as 1996, has been asking the courts to take a deeper look into the relationship between matt and jerry sandusky. when he was in foster care at the sandusky home she had seen behavior that she would describe to the grand jury as strange, stalking-like behavior. she described one time where matt fled from the sandusky's home in the middle of a rain storm in the middle of the night and didn't want to go back, even after jerry shoeld up at a relative's house where matt was hiding out. so she described all of these things, but matt sandusky himself got before the grand jury and we don't know exactly what he testified to. but joe amendola told me at the time it was nothing that they were worried about. they expected him to be a positive witness for jerry sandusky and they felt his biological mom was just angry at sandusky and was making these allegations. >> and his biological mom had also testified in front of that same grand jury

he doesn't have a long term fix. mitt romney wants a long term fix. looks carefully to marco rubio in florida and some of the running mates that are possible with this. but he actually wants a fix to this. and obama doesn't. i think that's why he's being careful. he is not going to go out and be glib and say i will do this by presidential fiat, he will talk about what congress can do to solve this in the long term. i don't think you're going to get ort, stand by answs out of mitt romney on this, nor should we want that if we want him to be president. we want a deliberative thinking president that's not going to make decisions or deals for political reasons. >> and congressman, you think this is the wrong way for the president to do it, makes a long term solution harder. let me ask you this. in terms of raw politics in florida, a battle ground state, does it help him? >> short term probably helps him, long term hurts him. also reminds people in the latino community that this is a president said that in the first 12 months he was going to pass, present

that we have to find a long-term solution, but that the president's action makes reaching a long-term solution more difficult. if i'm president, we'll do our very best to have that kind of long-term solution. >> howard, i think i know how it plays with the respected basis of the parties both the rs and the ds. but how does it play with the is? the independents? >> that's one reason why mitt romney was being as careful here as i thought. he was saying long-term, not short-term. he wasn't denouncing it. i think that's important. if you're talking about swing voters, a lot of those are latinos and i think this is very important for them and a plus for the president. if you're talking about white working class americans, in states such as ohio and north carolina, in nevada, and elsewhere in florida that are swing states, also, then i think it's a closer question. it's obviously a very political thing obviously, it's not about the number one topic in the country and election, which is the economy. and some of those independent voters don't like moves that look too political. for them it co

>> well, it's a great long-term situation to be in, because being long natural gas liquids, whether that'se or the butanes, the natural gasolines, it's a great place to be long term. we can talk about that, because of the correlation with crude oil and the long term prospects for crude oil. the glut you talk about, jim, is driven for propane for lack of winter and for ethane, we've had a lot of the crackers in the gulf coast that have been down. >> the refinery process. >> 250,000 barrels a day, which is a significant part of the complex have been down. they're coming back up through the last half of the year. the long-term prospects for ethane are bright because more of the petro chemical industry is continue to convert for their crackers. so i like to talk about the fact that long term, even with all the production of ethane coming online with the shell plays, the fact is ethane has a bright future because so many conversions are taking place. we're at an economy where we need the demand, continue to drive the demand for ethane. >> let's step back for a second, because your story gives y

morning long.here 20th and broadway. a bus stopped in 10-12 people were able to get on that bus career. people have been standing in line for up to two hours. you say the line goes around the block and beyond. gusts up to broadway to 21st and down broadway. you have a lot of frustrated people. ac transit people are trying to do the best. that bus is it coming every 20-30 minutes. many of the buses are already fall by the time they reach this point. >>james: they the talk to someone from ac transit earlier they said. want to try to mobilize more buses. >>george: you have to at imagine the frustration in the crowd. >>james: where they try to get to be an orderly process get on the buses. as the >> there are no police officers here. there's several buses driving by passing this stop that are virtually empty. you have writers standing here waiting. many of the bus is the drive by are empty. i do not know if fence putting buses and for it decision are what you're >>james: that has to add salt to the loa

jim, you're long the dollar. you're long many currencies right now.not a safe haven investment. what do you mean? >> the united states is the l k largest debtor nation in the history of the world. how can you consider that a safe haven? debt is going up a trillion dollars a year. i own the dollar. don't get me wrong. i own the dollar because there's so many problems elsewhere that people are fleeing to the u.s. dollar thinking it's a safe haven p p it's not a safe haven. but they come here so i've come here, too. >> it's a flight to perceived quality, not exactly quality, what you're saying. if you do have a lot of assets exiting other parts of the world, whether it's europe or perhaps china by some of the bears there, you would think that maybe that would add to some of the strength in the dollar going forward. particularly if you continue to see concerns about what's taking place in europe, right? >> absolutely. that's why i own the u.s. dollar. i bought the u.s. dollar a while ago. i haven't sold it. i may even buy more if the opportunity comes. i

take me home. >> i'm concerned how long it's taken to address the long-term storage and nuclear waste. the process began three decades ago, we're no closer to a solution. with regard to interim storage, you talk about wanting to see the timely implementation of the blue river commissions. blue river where people go skiing, it's a great place to do a number of things, but the recommendations, what's your opinion? would it be a timely? what would be timely timely? you talk about how to timely implementation to see these recommendations implemented. >> well, we recognize that nothing proceeds very quickly when we're talking about nuclear waste. i think the brc, the blue ribbon commission recognized there were long lead times for developing any of the consolidated storage options including looking at transportation and other issues. the blue ribbon commission, i believe, said this might be able to be done in a decade or so. i think that would be a wonderful thing. i think it may be optimistic. we're prepared to, you know, work with other stake holders to get this done as rapidly as possib

>> their focus in on the long term rates. they have brought down long-term rates. if one looks at financial markets out beyond the next few years, later in the decade, they're expecting a noticeable increase in interest rates, short-term and long-term interest rates, and they have included in those delinquencies. we're looking for short-term rates close to 4% and a 10-year close to about 5%. >> on page 43, under the bullet point for the need to higher taxes, am i correct? from the data you gave earlier, you talked about rate verses base. there's a lot of rhetoric that republicans are against revenue increases when, in our own budget, we address their tax policy in suggest two tax rates. it might clear that you're discussing one scenario vs. the other where there is a tax rate increase where you are encouraging the expiration of the tax breaks? in your alternative scenario, broadening the base. do you discuss either in the report? >> we do not. we are not trying to explore the details of alternative tax policy. we try to capture things in the extended baseline scena

that is the long-term goal. we need to continue to grow it but if you successfully complete the apprenticeship program and when there is a vacancy, there is a spot for you. >> if you have more vacancies are are able to add gardner positions, would you be able to fill them with the apprenticeship program or which you have to hire outside of the program? >> we are in a bit of an awkward spot because we're waiting for the first class to complete the apprenticeship program. those that are in the program would have to have met the minimum qualifications that have been established for the position. if they do and they test because we don't have the civil service rules change that will allow us to just pick from the program in place -- so if they test well enough, we would want to select them. we just took to because we know who they are and we know the work ethic and training. one of the goals of the apprenticeship program is to create a consistent set of professional standards for our partners. they may test well but
