mr. clark thanks for being with us as you have out there this controversy.hat we are almost 24 hours into the wait that began last night at this time. your thoughts of what happened. >> well, i -- i don't think that anything about this decision does -- does anything to bridge the gap between the community and law enforcement. between the community and the prosecutor's office. the community certainly doesn't trust law enforcement. but i would also be willing to bet that law enforcement doesn't trust the community very much either. and it is going to take quite a bit of work to bridge the gap between those two. if the gap can be bridged at all any time in the near future. >> as this story going forward, it will take two paths, the first to be trying to understand what got us here, and then where do we go from here. michael brown is dead. officer darren wilson now has been i guess in a sense vindicated by the grand jury, but the violence we saw last night, did that achieve anything? and if so, where did they come from? >> you know, i think in the long run the v

mr. clark has brushed aside that restriction and represented vet rants free of charge to make sure they get the benefits they deserve. maurice collin, a marine corps veteran, vietnam, served as an officer in the office of advocacy and assistance in the connecticut department of veterans affairs. he was selected to serve as acting commissioner and since his retirement from state government, he's continued to contribute his time to veterans. he provides volunteer driving assistance to disabled veterans in eastern connecticut to their medical appointments. and supervises the clothing donation program at the newington v.a. hospital. robert of old lyme will be inducted posthumously today after his retirement in 1984 he went on to serve as the director of the veterans home in rocky hill. for 10 years he worked vigorously to rehabilitate, educate, and place veterans into clears. finally, verry wright of bolten, connecticut, served two tours in vietnam in the army and later as a member of the army nati

mr. snyder, clark and they always gave us the best in a quality team and gave us every opportunity to wind to play for philadelphia flyers and we thank you for that opportunity. >> good stuff there. >>> today's eagle injury vort relatively clean. let's see what can be said about the play on the field when they toast tennessee. mark sanchez making third start for birds. on the other side, titans qb mark sdeken burger making third career start. just because he's young doesn't mean they'll take him lightly. >> he came in and those guys they're up here for a reason. they're professional athletes. pro quarterbacks and he can have a day like that and you know just completely blow up and have a great day. so, we gotta nroch like we planned aaron rodgers and tom brady. >> college basketball villanova jay wright knows athings or three about buck net nel. he graduated from 983. darren hiliard stucky fingers. 'nova wins 72-65. >>> bruiser flint and drexel facing miami. final ten plus minutes without a field goal. kahnes on half 14-2 run. drexel falls 56-46. >> table tennis not considered a contact s

mr. clark told me the same thing. we do have mostly cloudy skies. temperatures, well, 40s, 50s to 60s. it's really cold in the rockies. 25 below in casper, wyoming this morning. 25 below. laramie 22 below. cooler weather settled in. a lot of low clouds, clouds in advance of a system that will be here tomorrow morning. rain develops. not a lot. but a client. 58, 63. forecasted low and high. 51, 64 is average. way above on the low. there's our system we still have a day before it gets here. it's running away from the energy source. the parent low but the tail end of this will drag across us. i think we'll get .10 to .25. the amounts could be more to the north. but in advance of that is pushing in a lot of cloud cover. there is a lot of cold air. there's not much snow or rain as you head a little bit to the northeast but it's mainly the temperatures. 28 in chicago, they were down to 25. billings 4 below. denver 1 below. their record cold maximum for today is 9. they will probably shatter that. laramie at 22 below. rolens, 14 below. not to get lost in a

clark. and i am in full support of mr. pappas and the tree as a low income and i depend on the places like the tree for compassion and medicine. and as it helps my arthritis and my so thank you very much. >> okay. >> next speaker please? >> good evening, madam president and fellow commissioner mies name is ed and i am the committee chair of the apprentice program for the uscw cannabis worker's program and soon to be released in the state of california and i am also the executive director of the union cannabis which is the joint group for any collective that is under a collective bargaining agreement and we at the osc w, wholeheartedly, support charlie pappas in the divinty tree and i asked that the rest of the group please stand up for mr. pappas. and i would like to add that you have three members of the legal cannabis task force, and two i must say who were my dear friends have always been in most cases opposed to anything. when it came to legal cannabis and they are here to support charlie and. and i also want to say if

clark: thank you, mr. chairman. the bill before us today is a wolf in sheep's clothing. it's a dangerous attack on the power of knowledge. supposedly this bill prevents the environmental protection agency from using secret science to issue regulations. supposedly, by requiring the e.p.a. to only consider publicly available data when drafting regulations, this bill will make the e.p.a. more transparent. mr. chairman, nothing could be further from the truth. science has shown over and over that air pollution causes health sprobs -- problems such as asthma. this is not a disputable fact. scientists have spent years comparing data on air pollution with data on health problems. the results are clear. they've been replicated. they've been peer reviewed. and the e.p.a. has issued regulations accordingly. but the data in these studies cannot be made public without risking the violation of the privacy of americans who voluntarily participated in them by releasing their personal health information. rather than argue with the indisputable facts on air pollution a losing bet, this b

mr. larsen wants to be recognized. >> thank you. i want to enter into the record a letter from clark wrote regarding issues she has around la guardia. >> so ordered. with that, we recognize first general skoboll for an opening statement. >> members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to testify on efforts to modernize the national aerospace system. faa has undergone considerable change after congress granted several important reform of stories. faa is also in the midst of a multibillion-dollar effort to improve the efficiency of its aircraft system. my testimony today will highlight several challenges we have identified through ongoing and recently completed audits as it tries to meet its modernization and reform goals. first faa has instituted a number of important reforms such as establishing the air traffic organization it has yet to fully adopt sound management practices such as easing metrics and goals to assess productivity. without such practices the reforms will have little effect on lowering costs growth for improving operational efficiencies. we determined between fiscal years 1996, and 2012, if a a's total budget,

mr. speaker, i could not have made a better choice for chief of staff. i know i speak for generations of close friends and colleagues when i say thank you, jordan clark, for decades of committed public service and pursuit of a stronger nation. we wish you and your family the very best in the road ahead. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon, mr. blumenauer, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. there were many close elections across america last week, but there was one clear winner. ending our failed prohibition of marijuana and instead legalizing, regulating and taxing adult use. alaska and the district of columbia voters joined colorado and washington from two years earlier with strong votes to legalize. nowhere was that more emphatic than my home state of oregon. marijuana legislation passed in oregon by a greater margin than it did in washington, colorado. it got more votes than our united states senator jeff hurricanely who was overwhelmingly re-elected, and this was a low turnout nonpresidential year which experts predict

mr. kennedy: while upholding the necessary protections for kchdention information. i'd also like to thank my colleagues from massachusetts, congressman jim mcgovern and katherine clark for supporting this amendment. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from arizona, for what purpose does do you seek recognition? mr. shikert -- mr. schweikert: i claim time in opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. schweikert: as i approach the mike here i want to make it clear that my friend on the other side who is speaking for his amendment has been very ind to me and my office, but the amount -- amendment ultimately doesn't do what we just heard. let's walkthrough the sentence. any peer reviewed. it doesn't say highest and best. ok. let's walkthrough the next portion of this. peer review if you actually look at the methodology and mechanics is the study plausible, credible. they don't get the underlying data set. do we all remember our statistics 101 class? multiple parts of an equation so the sample sets over many of the difficulties are, yet we are going to rely on peer review
