t wee tag aba irly substantial amount of water that's being transpired by the trees. one of the things that had been suggested at one time was perhaps one way to save water in the river is to cut down all the trees along it. the problem is is when you do that, regular evaporation takes over and you can end up actually losing more water with regular evaporation than you would from transpiration from the trees. there were several studies done by the bureau of reclamation and one by the u.s. geological survey that established this. narrator: to better understand the effects of water depletion in riparian zones, maddock's colleague, dr. kate baird is measuring the amount of water used by vegetation near the san pedro river a river that has been in decline over the past decade. for each tree, baird determines the volume of water traveling through that tree. to do this she measures both the velocity of the water moving up the tree and the area of its xylem tissue. dr. baird: so, if i wanted to understand how much water is flowing through the tree or how much water this tree

allow me for just a second to let you peek behind the aba's bureaucratic curtain. i say that with all fondness. every year the standing committee is reviewed by a group of folks at the aba they look at topics such as programs publications outreach, things the committee has done in the legal community. holly of course puts our reports together and every year we receive top reviews. in preparation for this year's review, we were looking at our previous year and what we had done, what our speakers have spoken on and we noted something interesting and that is this. all of our programs, all of our publications and all of you are -- all of our legal community outreach mirrored the current issues of the day. and that's what set us apart from all the other aba committees. i know that's shocking. we are both timely and relevant to the national security discussion. in keeping were with that tradition of timelyness and relevance, today we have a unique format. first of all for this breakfast summit we have a tag team. they both work for suzanne spalding, an alumni of her comm

tom: when you are done at the aba, you can go in the head of the european bankers association.eating: i wonder how much an apartment would cost over that. the doctor is absolutely right. in the united states, the result of the resilience of the american economy, our banks are highly capitalized. the issue is -- can they lend? are all these regulations and restrictions retarded? carl: what they need in europe is a king to tell all of the government to do that the politicians cannot. maybe you would consider that job. brendan: oh, they do, and her name is angela merkel. carl: they need someone who is not a politically elected person to tell them -- this is what you need to do for europe, and they can go back and say we did not once do this, but thinking told us we had to -- or a queen. it could be a queen. olivia: isn't the eu president supposed to be the ceremonial head of state? carl: but he is not come he is a politician. like mark carney, for example, he would be a good king or summary from outside of europe to come in and tell them all with a need to do. brendan: it should b

aba shares the concerns of congress of not protecting consumers in this world of electronic commerce and recordkeeping. it is clear that consumers enjoy the convenience of conducting transactions electronically. notwithstanding these recent breaches our payment system remains strong and functional. it is mandatory that we maintain that trust in the system so it remains a system that our customers can continue to trust. while the majority of the transactions are conducted safely, occasional breaches will continue to occur. consumers have a right to swift, accurate, effective notification of these breaches. they have a right to trust that, whenever they conduct business electronically, the business is doing everything they can to prevent the breaches from occurring in the first place. mr. duncan mentioned an international sample of private companies and police stations around the world. other organizations such as the identity theft resource center note that the united states, businesses reported over 30% of breaches for 2014 while financial institutions represented 6%. while our numbe

attorneys as well, we heard in the last panel from the representative of the immigration project of the aba that detainees, i think specific to the family context, or it may have been detainees in general -- and you can correct me as to which one it was -- were six or seven times more likely to have their asylum petitions granted if they were represented by counsel. does than sound familiar? >> i'm wondering -- i recognize, and it has been pointed out a number of times, that because this is a civil proceeding and not a criminal proceeding albeit a distinction without some significant difference, in my own view -- but we'll put that aside for a moment -- there is no constitutional right, shall we say, to representation by counsel. however, it seems to me that a number of sins could be avoided are if somehow we were in a position to see to it that at least of families, mothers and children, were somehow provided consistently with legal representation. and i'm wondering what kinds of legal theories have been propounded by your organizations, either in a court of law or cases that have been mad

we know from analysis of the aba that there are interesting questions about how the implementation of the aca may have affected the number of people who choose dmob in the labor force over time. so if there is a proposal that comes on to make changes to healthcare they are going to want to take those into account. >> i agree with don's comments and i think the aca labor supply example is a good one of the kinds of biases that i worry about. in this case one i've labelled a marginal utility bias or social welfare function bias, which i think is non trivial. and one that was spoke of. so the cbo comes out with the aca score and it does have this labor supply effect. part of which is by dint of allowing people to move from full-time to part-time work if that is what they want to do because they can now afford to get healthcare, sometimes subsidized in the exchanges, you are releasing job lock. and i'm not making this up. this is something cbo said was part of the mix. . in the hurl burl of the date where gdp is elevated above everything and labor supply, that's a big negative. this is no
