the judge says in her final summation, you are nothing, mr. baker, but a pebble in the pond.ou are nothing but poor white trash. all my life, i was a bad boy. i look back and i see all the stupid mistakes that i made. and i see the young people that's here at this prison and i hear all the stories because i listen and i think to myself, you do not know how fortunate you are. you're going out there with another chance, whether it's five years, ten years or what. you're getting another chance. i'll never get that chance. i would give my leg, my arm, for that chance. i'm never going to get it. i'm going to die right here. >> it's fun to break the law and dance with the devil. but see, when you got to pay the fiddler, it ain't nothing nice. trust me, i'm living it. i'm living it. >> when it comes to serving hard time, white trash baker is hardly alone. >> me, myself, i got 35 to life. i'm here on a three strikes case. in the mid-'80s i had a burglary and attempted burglary. i did four years for it. those are strike one and strike two. in 1996, i caught a drug charge, a methamphet

i don't know why mr. baker feel he needs to support her. >> montgomery county supervisor isaiah leggitt has supported van holland. if elected edwards would be the first african-american senator from mare march. >>> a new call for help to catch the vandals who sprayed hate messages on a synagogue. >>> safety changes coming to metro a . >>> people who live in a montgomery county community are being asked to check their security cameras. detectives are hoping that someone else in gaithersburg's kentland neighborhood captured video of the people who vandalized a synagogue there. the shaare torah synagogue surveillance video shows the suspects, but police want more video. the anti-defamation league released a statement saying this wasn't just an attack on the synagogue but rather on religious freedom in the county. >>> the federal government is creating a new commission to oversee safety issues at metro. the move comes on the heels of several high-profile incidents, including the death of a passenger after smoke fil

mr. herman baker, whose beach office on the first floor on the adjacent building, also owned by mr. herskovich, was returned carefully to his aeplt after his water heater blew up and he had to move out temporarily. i hope the new building owner and we tenants can get along. pauline craig. i also have a letter from another person on the first floor of this building that says marc, thank you for your thoughtfulness and concern for all of us tenants by making the transition easier most of os for being the rock and support during these terrifying times of uncertainty. that's what it's like to be a tenant in san francisco today. we can read the newspapers. i can't force people here. they are older than i am and i'm 55. i mean it's the nature of life that as you get older you are very vulnerable and some of the people who are older are the ones who have great rents. that's just a coincidence of life. the people writing these letters are great people. the person who wrote the third letter is living directly below the work being done. without your kindness and inclusiveness we would be real

what mr. baker greets as he returns to tokyo. -- mr. abe. your twitter answers.tate right now? this is a lot of fun. a wonderful bloomberg commodities panel. it was winner take all. now, the commodity world -- iron or down 50% since early 2014. she knows -- she holds one of the toughest undergraduate degrees known to mankind come a degree in chemistry. >> totally unrelated. i have no idea. it's been a long-winded journey. absolutely interested in what's going on in the commodity markets. massive dislocation. tom: the idea of the commodity boom oil -- is brazil done? is australia done? >> there is lots of skepticism about what happened. the demand story has been eroded. brazil, south africa, a lot of importers, russia -- exporters. is that demand story going to extend to developed markets? what we've seen in the u.s. with gdp yesterday and also around the story of the u.k. and other european countries showing lackluster growth. olivia: how closely is the commodity story tied to the dollar? there has been a pause in the dollar rally and you are seeing iron ore -- c

mr. mark baker president and ceo of the aircraft owners and pilots' association. thank you for being here, i look forward to your testimony. and with that i would like to turn it over to my ranking member senator cantwell. >> thank you, chairman ayotte and the witnesses for being here today. i look forward to hearing your testimony. i would especially like to acknowledge the families and the victims of the colgan air flight 3407 who are with us here today. thank you for your consistent advocacy and tireless work on behalf of a safer aviation system. the faa has implemented a number of safety improvements in the last five years including pilot training, safety management systems, flight and duty time requirements and pilot professionalism initiatives. we have moved the ball forward on aviation safety but we can not be complaisant with the progress we've made. we've built on efforts from the past, leveraged science and data and technology to make aviation safer but we have more work to do. one area of work remains is in the development of a comprehensive pilot recor

sounds like housing is out there a lot, the baker family called inspector yee with regard to a complaint marc bruno had filed on their behalf, inspector yee called mr. bruno to inform him the meeting would be canceled due to the baker family withdrawing the complaint. that's the only thing i can find with regard to open complaints to do with suspended work. there have been multiple xlaipblts -- complaints filed on the property over the years but they have all been abated. maybe a total of 3 possibly. that's the one having to do with the water heater, that's actually still open for some reason, but last mor was the last action on it. the other thing as well, the permit that was taken out originally was for 478 union street. i wish i had been involved in the fixing of that and not the third floor counter at dbi, when someone pulls a permit under a wrong address, and contractors sometimes do that, it's always better to cancel and refund that permit and then get a new permit. if it's only an over the counter permit for kitchen and bathroom, we now have a permit on 478 union street that doesn't apply to the work being done there. we have another permit

mr. gray is acting irate in the back. at about 8:46:12 at mount and baker, one block to the south and east a unit asks the wagon to stop so that the paperwork can be completed, and at that point, gray is placed in leg irons and put back in the wagon. we have several witnesses from the community that we have interviewed with regards to this particular stop. at approximately 8:54:02, the wagon clears mount street heading towards central booking going southbound. approximately fibve minutes elapse and at 8:59:52 there's a request at druitt hill and dolphin, which is east of mount and baker. the person driving the van asks for an additional unit to check on his prisoner nap is mr. gray. part of what our investigation will do, there is no video of these stops sshs sstops, is to identify exactly what was going on relayed by the officers said by mr. gray and what actions we should or what actions we should have taken. at 1600 north avenue at pennsylvania, which is east of dauphin and druitt hill there is a, another arrest and there's a request for a wagon. the wag

mr. lindstrom: there have been other courts that have recognized being bound by baker.ith respect to the loving analogy, the supreme court, if the supreme court wanted to say that the freedom to choose who to marry wasn't limited to someone of the opposite sex and they had the opportunity to do that, they didn't do that, that question was directly presented to that. so that shows there was a different between race which does not go to the heart of what marriage is. judge daughtrey: but you would have to concede that there were in terms of what the electorate wanted, the loving decision went against what the electorate wanted in much of the south when it was announced? mr. lindstrom: i think it did not. when you talk about the electorate wanted, the electorate passed the 14th amendment to end racial discrimination. the electorate that wanted to end -- judge daughtrey: you might be understood in knowing that as recently as 1978 the tennessee constitution provided, "the intermarriage of white persons with negros, mulattos or persons of mixed blood descended by a negro to t

then he will talk about how he got from baker versus nelson to the defense of marriage act during the clinton administration. mr. smith: it is a long road. a lot of people ask how we get to marriage equality and the reality is we have been working hard for a long time. you want to have a starting point. that is bigger versus nelson in 1972, in which the court was asked to recognize the right of a same-sex couple to marry. they dismissed the appeal. it was a one line rejection of the claim. this was at a time when we were not in the stone age, at least the middle ages of constitutional law. but there was still no extra protection against gender discrimination. there was recognition of a fundamental right to marry but no one in 1970 two would have thought that was relevant to a same-sex couple. most states still criminalized same-sex relationships. this was not a surprising outcome. but it was a long struggle to get from there to here. which for much of that time focused not on recognition of relationships or marriage. simply getting rid of criminal laws that were a barrier to progress and a barrier to people lea

baker falls flat. >> what is your assessment of the phrase doctrinal development? mr. murphy: my interpretation is if you have a case that was overruled, they do not [inaudible] because the supreme court [inaudible] that is the type of doctrinal development that is necessary in order to implicate that provision and that is what this court has already held. the court essentially said that the summary dismissal and regular opinions should have the same value. i think that means that summary dismissals as every bit as regular opinions trigger the agostini and rodriguez role. -- rule. to suggest that is for regular decisions. judge daughtrey: i there some opinions that suggest they do not hold that one of those dismissals like this 11 word long and we are talking about -- might have some kind of binding effect on the court from which it came but not against the world. mr. murphy: i think the distinction that is drawn is the binding effect that it has on the lower courts just as the binding effect it has on the supreme court. the supreme court said it has less binding effec

mr. gray along the 1700 block. we stated earlier and confirming again today that the first stop of the wagon after the apprehension site was mount and baker. the second stop has been revealed to us during the course of the investigation and was previously unknown to us. we discovered this new stop based on our thorough and comprehensive and ongoing review of all cctv cameras and privately owned cameras. in fact, this new stop was discovered from a privately owned camera. so the new stop by our wagon was at freed mont and mosier. from there the wagon stopped at dolphin and then at north avenue and pennsylvania avenue to pick up an additional prisoner. and then the wagon arrived at the western district. from the western district mr. gray was transported to shock trauma where he died a week later. our investigation continues. we continue to work partnership with the state's attorney's office. major stan bramford is leading this investigation, a very talented folks working very hard not only for the police department but for the city of baltimore. we look forward to additional progress in this case as time goes by. thank you. >> we are going
