you indicate in april of 09 you were part of a team of officials who provided a briefing about the initial stages of the process of reviewing the detainees and authorized during the briefing to discuss the review process. you are not authorized to discuss the deliberations or decisions on specific detainee's and so in accordance with those rules used eight on page five we've provided a full and candid briefing about the detainee review process. so i would like you to address this issue. you have raised the congressman will's letter and address it head on if you will for this committee. >> yes. thank you very much, madame share and vice chairman chambliss for providing me with the opportunity to address this question raised. let me just say at the outset essentially has ali understand from congressman blair or two questions. one is that we offered information or that that information was offered in the course of the task force review and that there was intentional misleading during the briefing and i would say at the outset neither of those occurred and i appreciate the opportunity to provi

april 15th, 1959. that evening fidel castro's -- [inaudible] dwight eisenhower was still president, richard nixon was vice president, john kennedy was still the junior senator from massachusetts. castro came to deliver a speech to newspaper editor, but it was a charm offensive. he and his bearded entourage arrived in washington loaded with cuban cigars and cases of cuban rum, and castro spent most of his visit hugging and smiling and saying all the right things. there were some americans, including some in the eisenhower administration -- including dwight eisenhower himself -- who had pretty serious concerns about eisenhower, mainly that he was a communist in the making. but many found him quite charming and certainly charismatic. after a few days in washington, castro took a train to new york city. from the moment he arrived at penn station where he was greeted by 20,000 people, he had a grand old time. he went to the top of the empire state building, he shook hands with jackie robinson, he went down

of april 17th. these strikes meant to complete the job of destroying castro's air force. why kennedy cancelled them is a mystery. he had become the most common explanation is that he became very concerned about the public and international reaction that had been stirred up by the first round of air strikes, among other things it had become clear to the whole world that the whole world realized that the united states was behind the air attacks almost the moment those first bombs fell on the 15th. and kennedy was very concerned about provoking something big, about lighting a match on the conflagration. so with the advice of his secretary of state, dean rusk he called off these air strikes. now, among the cia planners when they discovered this on the i think of april 16th, they were horrified. it's always been understood for the invasion to have a chance, castro's air force had to be taken out. in the moment kennedy cancelled those follow-up strikes everybody involved in the operation instantly underst

so then we have sound check done at the end of april. then another one done at the beginning of may. greg is not compliant. so then he gets the notice of enforcement. greg ignores that notice. i even called bev inn, a friend of mr. braunstein's. nothing happened. greg did not respond to the notice of noncompliance until august 8. i believe it was august 8 or august 10, 2010. that's an awful long time to be just ignoring a notice. the whole issue here is greg has made promises. i know this is a huge setback. but if we're not going to adhere to the rules and if people aren't going to have to pay the fines, why have them? it basically neuters or whole process. if i run a stop sign, i get a fine. i don't get out of it. greg should not get out of this. and that's really our whole position. it's been a lot of work and taken an enormous amount of city resources and an enormous amount of the community members' time, to actually be a neighborhood-serving business and have respect for the neighborhood. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good e

they did not file the request until april of this year. then they missed their first hearing on this. it seemed like it was an error on when they put the item in their calendar. we think that the violation had gone on for far too long. they were forced by the planning commission to come into compliance and they finally did so but in the past few months we have uncovered more issues. sound was continuing to be an issue and we sent an inspector out in july. they observed this smoking area which was supposed to be closed. this would violate the city's second hand smoking ordinance and a violation of state law. they might be able to answer some questions what triggers with the compliance. they have been smoking they're in violation of the law. they are operating in violation of the city law, and they have not made good consistent efforts to come into compliance. with that, we've pressed the board to not grant jurisdiction. >> the roll door that encloses the patio, has any of your staff or other inspectors noticed whether this is up or down? >>

to reduce rather than in april -- earlier rather than in april and really wanting to have a valuable and fair conversation about what is in our parking lot and how it relates to our priorities, so is there are no further discussions -- do you have something else? >> i just want to add that we have a plan for a safety net or how to have students succeed, so you are right. we should be aligning our resources and also looking like thingare things like night schoo i think it is a plan, and it is not just a band-aid on the problem, but it is about how do we make people feel success so they get increasingly more rigorous. it is going to have to be much more innovative and more interesting. i think it is hard for students, but schools but do it well through the generosity of the city, thank you to mayor li, and in lincoln high school, there are 30 students attending, and they are keeping track of it. we should be doing a smaller classroom. i think we learned a lot, and i think you're right that summer's " is a band-aid. -- summer school is a band-aid. i think it is a work in progress. thank

this april he was contacted by a young mother. smiwa watanabe had fled with her baby son. she was worried of the fact of radiation on her child. she was worried about the radiation of the effect on her child. >> translator: the situation must have been similar back then. mothers are trying to protect their children today. i imagine my mother did the same. >> translator: talking with you has been very encouraging. people in fukushima are worn out from worrying about the radiation, so i want them to have some encouragement too. >> reporter: sakuma wants to encourage worn out parents in heir she ma so he and two other people from heir she ma traveled up to speak to them. >> translator: we can't believe anything the government says about safety. >> reporter: sakuma gave advice in light of his experience. >> translator: you should keep records of where you go and what you do each day. if special allowances are given here, as they were in hiroshima, you'll need your records. [ applause ] >> translator: it's good to have someone who knows what it's like to be exposed to radiation

r correctly, president obama made it 12 years in the middle of april.i don't think that makes any difference. >> rose: $4 trillion or$5 trill. >> over years, whatever it might be. >> rose: right.both of thos post to the pot where the deficit came down to the point with the debt-to-gdp ratio, the ratio of public debt to our economy, gdp, began to decline. that is the holy grail, the objective, objective, wha wheret to, even we defer the implementation of that program for a couple of years. one more piece, we've got to get control of the rate ofncrease of our healthcare, the cost of our healthcare more generally. >> rose: that's not a newproble. that's been an old problem. >> it's not a new problem, but it's a second stage at some point. >> rose: how would you suggestt? >> that drives the federal healthcare plans, including medicare. >> rose: how would you do that?. i don't have a ready suggestion to it. one of the problems, as your guest said last night, there's so much disagreement around periods of time, i don't think we're ready to try to do -- take t

peter, i know you were on the campus in 2007, in april after the shooting that happened there.ems this morning that they have, with the alerts, anyway, been very proactive in making sure that they were able to get the information out to students and employees about the lockdown. >> yeah, thomas, that's exactly right. a lot has changed in the four years since april 14 of 2007, when 32 people and the shooter in that situation took his own life and theirs. the alert system in particular, has changed, and i just printed this off the virginia tech website. in the past, the challenge had been communication on that awful day. now they have multiple means of communicating with the students and staff. a question, i guess, today would be can they communicate the same way to those who are there only for the summer, these summer campers? that could offer some confusion in a situation like this. but now it's through the home page, through e-mails, through electronic message boards that now sdmiexist in some of the classrooms on campus. there is even also sirens and loud speakers there as we

all right so the cost of government how is this different from tax freedom if that happened in april. i thought we paid all the polls absolutely you have access here unfortunately you haven't paid for the massive regulatory regime that's out there extra deficit spending that's going on above and beyond tax freedom day so those are the direct individual taxes april eleventh when you add in everything else you get the burris you get all twelve two thousand and eleven and that's counting all the extra days the past tax freedom day i believe on april twelfth that has to be paid at some point just right now on the backs of the children why is it so important to point this out it's i mean it's not like it's an officially recognized government holiday not like anything happens today but it's a chance to do what why do you when you print this out and i missed her why why bring this to the times when the american people like this. and the american people can normally look at their taxes and they see how much the government say community weigh in any one year but they're not seeing if they stil

>> from 2008 through april 2011. vice president garcia: so he has already met 11 even though we are only -- >> yes. he has made it in spades. he is still out there driving. he had made it by april. vice president garcia: thank you. >> mr. marie? -- murray? >> jarvis murray, taxi services. what mr. alexander has said is basically correct. the mta position is that when he came up for his medallion in 2008, he did not qualify. there has been no evidence he qualified during that time. at that time, he needed to drive three out of four bang years to show he qualified. -- three of four years to show the qualified. he did not. if the question is whether he qualifies if he were to come up today, as mr. alexander stated, he would qualify. there is no debate he has given since 2008. in to the five and 2006, he did not drive enough hours. in 2007, he was not in the country and did not drive. 2008 was the only year he presented at that time where it could be shown he had badly driven. for the mta, the issue for us -- if you woul

next april could be a crucial time for noda. he may be forced to resign or call a general election if he cannot win cooperation from the opposition by then. but, you know, in that case, the japanese public probably won't accept another new prime minister without a general election. >> this ongoing political uncertainty is no doubt taking a toll on japan's foreign relations. one example, the scheduled summit talks with u.s. president obama that had to be canceled because naoto kan seemed likely to resign. what can we expect from mr. noda when it comes to diplomatic relations? >> expected to hold summit talks with the u.s., china, and south korea by the end of this year. but any work noda wants to do will be held up by further political change, you know, all of these countries as well as russia will have presidential elections. or a transfer of power in 2012. north korea may also experience a transfer of power. on top of this, noda will need to deal with the rise of nationalism in china, russia, and south korea. you know, japan's

the farmers' demands were paid out since april up to about $750 million. tokyo electric says it would make pay damages every three months but farmers who are strapped for cash want the compensation to come more regularly. >> translator: farmers have been pushed nearly to the edge and cannot wait such a long time. we want the utility to make monthly payments. >> tepco's managing director naomi hirose points out that monthly payouts are almost impossible because the company has so many groups and individuals to compensate. but he says the utility will consider the request. >>> tokyo electric discovered five active faults near the krpt ld fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant. tepco made the discovery after they were asked to reexamine faults around nuclear plants. the directive followed the strong earthquake on april 11th from a fault that was thought to be inactive some 50 kilometers away from fukushima daiichi. tepco said on tuesday geological deformations were observed for the first time at five faults suggesting they are active. the utility says it will

you first mentioned it in april. since then share prices have fallen off considerably, because of out earnings and concern about patent expiration with lipitor and what not. what do you think of pfizer at 18? >> well, pfizer is still going to execute a strategy of breaking up the company and spinning off starting with air animal health business. this is going to create a lot of value and opportunity for shareholders, and from the beginning i said keep those little pieces as they spin off. don't take extra pfizer shares or cash, you know, go into these new businesses, it's very similar to what bristol meyers did with the baby nutrition baby formula company, that one more than tripled. so that's the opportunity with pfizer. but across the board let's not forget the market has just come off of eight days down in a. >> tom: yes. how about disclosures, do you own everything we mentioned tonight? >> i own all these stocks, yes. >> tom: you can e-mail us your questions at street critique.com, we try to get as many as we can

jay from the n.t.a., april from supervisor kim's office. john is here from the department of real estate. the p.u.c., mayor's office of housing. they're all here if you have any questions about the project. so i think that the funding story on this park is excellent. we have funds for the acquisition. all the various life cycles of a park. we have funds for the acquisition through the eastern neighborhood impact fees, for the development through the prop 84 state grant that you allowed us to apply for several months ago on this project. we also have funds for maintenance from the eastern neighborhood impact fees. there's not too many times i think a project comes before us that has this kind of funding behind it. so all of those funding sources are from non-r.p.d. sources. i also like to highlight because we have these funding sources and the park is in such a high needs neighborhood it would score at the top of the list with our new draft acquisition policy that the parks and open space advisory committee and the department staff has been

april 12, 2011 marked the 120th anniversary of the mark of the civil war. this is just over an hour. [applause] >> thank you. much, steve. i am a great love for this wonderful institution at the national constitution center. i also want to remind you we have an exhibit upstairs and prosperity hall between diners hall and the main exhibit area on link and then i hope you're okay to take a look at some time in the coming weeks. it is obligatory for persons again in this chair to praise the author and to praise his book. unethically, i think anyone who agrees to perform my role as intraocular hefty genuinely believe that on the other occasions in which i done that, i've done this. but this really is an occasion in which i want to go a little bit over the top because they do think adam is a very special is your hand and this is a very, very national book. as he described adam's career, he really has been at a remarkably early age, a very important public intellectual, speaking to a wide audience about a wide variety of subjects, i think since he graduated from

next april could be a crucial time for noda. he may be forced to resign if he cannot win cooperation from the opposition by then. but in that case the japanese public probably won't accept another new prime minister without a general election. >> and there ongoing plit colit uncertainty is no doubt taking a toll on japan's foreign rel relations. the scheduled summit talks with u.s. president barack obama had to be canceled because naoto kan seemed likely to resign. >> the new prime minister is expected to hold summit talks with the u.s., china, and south korea by the end of this year. but any work noda wants to do will be held up by further political change in all of these countries as well as russia will have presidential elections or a transfer of power i 2012. he may al north korea may also experience a transfer of power. also there may be a rise of nationalism in china, south korea. japan is involved in nuclear disputes with all three of these countries so his abilities will definitely be put on a test. >> before we let you

you know that this is some place that could be looked at and we did hear from him back in april during a speech on fiscal policy let's listen to a little bit of what he had to say so just as we must find more savings in domestic programs we must do the same in defense and we can do that while still keeping ourselves safe over the last two years bob gates says courageously taken on wasteful spending. saving four hundred billion dollars in current and future spending. i believe we can do that again i believe we can do that again this is back in april how do you see anything that shows that we are going in that direction at the force of law and secretary gates didn't say four hundred billion dollars he pretended to save it by you know announcing that weapons were already going to be cancelled he was going to cancel they weren't even in the program he found one hundred seventy billion dollars in addition seized by the crowd one hundred thirty in back in two other other other new new programs. what president obama said back in april is very similar to what they agreed is the first thought o

it is a long way from the high that it hit back in april. since then, the dow is off 1,365 more than 10.5%. we're covering this story in chicago, london, and washington. first, here's anthony mason. >> reporter: scott, finally, some relatively good economic news. it wasn't a blow-out number, but it was the strongest job growth we've seen since april. the news helped battered stocks stage a turnaround. >> it's really kind of a collective sigh of relief in global markets that the u.s. economy continues to add jobs. >> reporter: while governments continued to cut jobs-- 37,000 of them in july-- the private sector added more than 150,000 workers. >> we've got a pulse. we're still fighting. but, you know, we're not out of the hospital yet. >> reporter: economist diane swonk was happily surprised by the stronger-than-expected jobs number. >> 117,000 jobs is nothing to pop champagne corks over. >> reporter: because of the nearly 14 million unemployed americans, more than six million have been out of work for more than half a year. >> the job market

after the massacre in april of 2007. and schools across the country, and how they could get ready and prepare, the early alert system to allow as many staff and students as possible, about a threat on campus. and, that model has been taken and used, in countless universities and schools across america today. alisyn: sending out everything to a blackberry, a cell phone, and as quickly as possible and, again, they are just being as direct and using an economy of words, here, person with gun reported near dittrich, as bill said, the dining hall, stay inside and secure doors and emergency personnel responding, call 911 for help and we haven't heard from the police yet about how they are responding or how widespread it is. bill: here's the timeline, it is now, 10:18, east coast time in blacksburg. at 9:47, virginia tech alert went out claiming a person was spotted with this gun, outside the dining hall and people on campus were asked to stay inside and secure your doors and police now are going through the area near dittrich

it's down from the high of almost $114 a barrel at the end of april. it lost more than a quarter of its value since then, already trading down $1.60 at 85.06. quite a market of this fall has come off the back of the stock market slump with investors betting on slower growth. and the jobs numbers today will also effect commodities like this, particularly oil. >>> it's all about the jobs numbers, isn't it? we've seen the selloff in the world markets. investors are looking for any good news. we have jobs numbers coming up. will it lift spirits or continue to dampen spirits? well have predictions just ahead. stay with us. >>> a sea of red. markets around the world follow wall street's lead. you're watching "world business today." >>> investors may have something to look forward to this friday, that's the u.s. employment figures. nonfarm figures are due out in new york, and they may help to ease the panic so far, but jobs data has been up and down so far. let's have a look at the numbers in more detail. for the month of march, the united states economy gain

unemployment rate in april and from there it started ticking up again.certainly didn't help that we ended up having a three-week state shutdown, state government shutdown that displaced 22,000 state workers, plus another 3,000 state chiropractor employees. and so you have a big hit that's about to come out tomorrow. we're expected to get the unemployment rate for july for the state and it's expected to go up as far as... possibly as much as a percentage point. so we're hurting quite a bit. >> brown: and dee depass, what kind of industries are most affected here? >> well, our housing industry was dramatically impacted. it sort of started, obviously, the recession in this state. we've got large window manufacturing here in minnesota. anderson windows is based here, marvin windows is based here. we have something called o.s.b. strand board manufacturers here. they're the ones that do the... it's like a... created plywood and there are a number of factories here. so we had layoffs basically in a lot of manufacturing companies that cater to the housing sector

sentenced april 2. shipped out to the penitentiary april 3. tavis: you know that number pretty well. obviously. how did you get out? >> the law firm that i worked for now -- tavis: you are a paralegal? >> yes. when i was in prison, everybody knew me as a jailhouse lawyer. that is all i did. the laws -- the law is what put me there, and that is what set me free. i work for that from now. tavis: what do you do every day? >> i am a member of the pro bono committee. i get a chance to help minorities get access to justice. >> i want to give out -- a shout out to northwestern. one of the reason you have so many chicago cases, you haven't the structure of lawyers that pursue it. the difference is not the situation, the difference is a competent legal team of students and professors. tavis: that could be replicated across the country. >> absolutely. tavis: that can be replicated. northwestern is not unique in that regard. others can clearly do that. what benevolent work would that be for law schools across the country. i want to come back to something

we terminated the leases on or around april of 2009. prior to that, we entered into a lease with a company called a national promotional advertising. basically, their market was the 20 or thirtysomething. we entered into a eradicated piece of the building owners. the lease was going to be 1500's. that bill border was set on that building in november of 1951, never been changed over. it was in the name of west coast advertising, the company that was a predecessor to the outdoor systems. currently, we were promptly sued by the outdoor systems, a duopoly in san francisco. today, we have incurred $110,000 of legal fees trying to get the sign and our name, and we're just small landlords. we are not some big operation in san francisco. we have had to defend ourselves and we have felt that what we are attempting is to allow us to have that sign back, it was our property. in 1951, back to the property owners. thank you. >> what i have on the overhead is a picture of the billboard at issue. you concede that it is a fairly small billboard. you ar

and for six months from november to april, who had those incidents. we recognized it was not a permanent fix, and our colleagues set about designing a modification. we implemented the modification and we began to have some issues again. what we have done is return to the condition, and back to the pre-april stake. we believe that while we continue to work with fleet engineering, " we have is six months of real-time service results to show that the modification works. we will continue to monitor it closely. we do not expect to have the hoses become an issue again. it has been a problem that has plagued the fleet since 1997. we are committed to solving the problem. we believe we have an excellent fit. the service will be reliable and any modification will be tested on a car by car basis over a long time. we have confidence in the fix that we will continue to make progress in modifying and replacing these signal cables and the subway. that project has already started and will continue with that. the issues on thursday are a series of six trains that lost
