ad. and it's referred to as metadata. the idea is when we serve an ad with an icon, we can convey through that ad some information who the tideser was, who the ad network is and where you can go specifically with your information. we're going to be doing a lot more of this in the next year. if you click one more time. this is actually where it takes you today. so this is where you would go to express your choices with yahoo!. we launched the ad interest manager in december of last year. and our goal here was -- and this is a long time in the works was to be able to actually convey to a consumer some of the information that we're using as part of this customization process and to let them exercise their choice here. it's very simple. you can still opt out of all by exercising just that one big yellow button. but we're giving a lot more information to consumers about what information we hold and how we're using it. and, you know, a few years ago there was a great deal of concern about showing this much information to consumers. but what we find is that

as an added -- items, etc. as an added benefit, they are provided vocational benefits should they have service dog training as a career path. as chairman filner said, there are programs that are successful at palaalityo and at walter reed. the veterans who are participating have seen great improvements, not only in their sleep but social interaction, emotional regulation, patience, trust, sense of trust. all of these are important for a veteran to reintegrate into society. some of them may be able to reduce their medication when they reduce their age sdemrite levels, which i think is -- anxiety levels, which i think this is important. i think this bill goes a long way in assuring the necessary assurances to these veterans. madam speaker, i know there are things we take as serious as our commitment to serving those who served us in combat, especially when they return home with physical and mental scars. so if there's anything we can do to be helpful to them we'd like to do that. you know, sometimes the obvious ca

but there are much bigger questions as to how an individual could just come to pakistan and access militant training, as which seems to be of the case, and why an ad from a well-to-do background want to carry out an attack like this in the first place -- why a man from a well-to-do background want to carry out an attack like this. >> engineers working for bp oil company has succeeded in blocking one of the leaks, which has caused that massive oil slick. there are still two weeks and still oil is spilling into the sea at a rate of almost 800,000 liters a day. later on when engineers plan to move a huge specially constructed metal dome over the site, adam brooks reports. >> the weather in the gulf of mexico has improved, and that means more can be done to disperse the slick, more controlled burning and skimming of the oil on the sea surface. but the slick is still growing. its outer edges are lapping at the louisiana shore line, but the worst is still out to sea. >> that has the potential to absolutely jeopardize louisiana's way of life. is not just about stopping the league and cleaning up the oil. it is also about restoring our fisheries, these ba

i think the ad that was run against specter by joe sestak may end up in 2010 as the ad of the year. this was an ad that tied him to george w. bush, who is obviously still highly unpopular among democratic base voters, but also quoted specter himself as saying when he switched parties this will enable me to be re-elected. and the tag line on the ad was he changed parties to save one job, his own, and that was a killer ad. >> lehrer: that's a killer ad, and that's all the anti-specter, is it not? that raised things beyond anti-establishment. >> well, and because i think dan is exactly right. these democratic voters had been voting against arlen specter for 30-some years. so to say, okay, you have to trust that this guy's going to be a real democrat, was going to be a stretch. but i think it's important to remember, too, that democrats didn't dislike arlen specter. if you look at the polls coming into this election, he had a pretty good favorable rating among democratic primary voters. his problem, i think, goes back to dan's point about political expeed espny. it was less about ideology. it was m

an antidepressant alone isn't enough, one option your doctor may consider is adding abilify. abilify treats depression in adults when added to an antidepressant. some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks after adding abilify. abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it. in some cases, extreme high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. other risks include decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness upon standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. adding abilify has made a difference for me.

as you know, faisal shahzad was able to get on an airplane even though he'd been recently added to thereason, emirates airline had not updated the list electronically. so he got a boarding pass and got on the plane and authorities got him in the nick of time. now the department of home loond security is saying that airlines are going to be required to check the list within two hours of being notified of a special circumstance such as an addition to the no-fly list. as we saw with him, an airline is responsible for manually checking list against the no-fly list within 24 hours, but they didn't check this one. the suspect was allowed to purchase a ticket that he got on. under the new measure, the airline would be required to recheck the list within two hours of being notified of a special circumstance. kyra? >> jeanne meserve working that story for us. >> if you think about giving your kids certain name-brand cold and allergy medicines, don't do it. we'll tell you why and what you can do instead. ♪ [ female announcer ] you choose the cutest outfits. are you choosing a detergent designed

an xml be a women dancing with her position as a have a grand time in the army. [laughter] >> there are these two contrasts. people have often asked did it progress from this romanticized recruitment ad to this more specialized. but it doesn't. they are all mixed up. at the same time. i think part of it is the army knows that a lot of the women, primarily women they're trying to recruit, 99% of the nurses in the country at the time were women, but 25 to 30% of the nurse corps was male which is a whole other issue. they really try to recruit women, and they knew that women lives were different. women wanted different things. they're going to college in greater numbers than their mothers had. a lot of the nurses i interviewed said i had three options. i could be a teacher, secretary or nurse. and i picked nursing. a lot of women say i want to go to med school, i couldn't afford it so i went to nursing. so they came at this traditionally feminine occupation, but a lot of women say, i don't want to get married and start having babies like my friends are. or i don't want to live in my hometown anymore. i want to go see the world. so they joined the army for these kind of different reasons

as the case may be. mr. president, i believe we must put an end to the ad hoc responses of the federal government which only lead to fear and to panic. i believe these changes will help us do that. i want to thank at this time the committee's chairman, senator chris dodd, for working with me to tighten the language in this part of the bill. and i also want to thank our respective staffs who worked day and night, weekend after weekend to get us where we are this afternoon. all of these changes are important and necessary to make bailouts a thing of the past. with these changes, i believe that we have done what congress can do to prevent any future bailouts. but, mr. president, it will now be up to the regulators to follow the law and do what we expect them to do: to do their jobs. mr. president, i strongly support these changes and i urge my colleagues to support them as well. however, i want to point out to leave the impression that i support the entire bill, like anybody at this time, because we're making these necessary changes is not -- we're not there yet. beyond resolution and government powers in a cr

in some small degree and once again, as the gentleman from texas recognized, there's only one national park along the texas side. everything else which is an added benefit because texas now cooperates a whole lot easier than unfortunately some of the federal agencies do from new mexico through to the pacific coast. but you're right, there are within these drug cartel, they do have lookout spot, night vision, they have all the equipment necessary as they now are engaged in a war amongst themselves. the deputy who was recently shot was the 12th shooting that took place in this area. the bulk of those shootings are not necessarily against americans but cartel versus car sell. the difference was, this is the first one that got hit with one of these shootings and what's more illustrative of this situation, as this deputy was brought into an ambush and the rancher down there who was doing nothing more than traveling on his land in a cart because he didn't have the ability to move freely. in the past, drug cartels when approached would disappear. what we're finding out now is there's a change in attitude. all of a sudden they're not running away they s

added an average of 187,000 jobs. people still are not able to find jobs in sufficient numbers. people are still losing their health care as they lose their job. people are losing their homes because of the extended time they are spending -- as unemployed americans. and we have got to help these people of the the idea somehow that we can now wind this down, and people really are now looking for work. in all of our communities when jobs are advertised, 10 times, 20 times the number of people of the number of jobs show up seeking jobs, seeking that opportunity to help their families. and we have got to be able to respond to that. and that's what this legislation does. and as the economists have told us, it's one of the best things we can do for main street because unfortunately these people need to spend this money needly whether it's on groceries or clothing or rent or utilities to try to deep their -- keep their families together. we've got to pass this legislation. mr. camp: i yield two minutes to a distinguished member of the ways and means committee, the gentleman from illinois. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is

an aggressive attack against whitman. as you can imagine, with the much money, pretty much what californians here on tv these days is either a poizner adacking whitman, or vice versa. host: you were talking about the numbers and we have two sets of polling data to show the audience. the first comes from mclaughline and associates -- any relation? guest: none at all. host: this one shows whitman with 55%, poinzner with 24%. the second set of figures, done about one month ago back on march 23, it has kind of flip flopped -- i'm sorry. the numbers are still similar. so, what has changed over the last month or so? guest: steve is now spending about $2 million per week. most of it for tv. most of it attacks whitman. the biggest issue has been the goldman sachs issue in the past week. whitman had ties years ago with goldman sachs, on the board for 15 months, was involved in the controversy called "spinning" which allows you to get hot public offering shares before the public does, and turn a quick profit. much controversy had been whether she got the shares of of the private banking client of goldman, or whether it was done to encourage e-ba

as a nation need to pull together and stop adding to the deficit. or we truly will face a bleak future. but i am always, i have always been an optimist.m confident the country will respond this november and elect common sense, fiscal conservatives to the majority in congress to be a check and balance on this administration. the best way for the long term is to follow the constitution. host: here is a message by twitter. guest: well, if general motors had simply been allowed to be reorganized under the bankruptcy laws, you would not have had the u.s. taxpayers and the government intrude themselves into the middle of management decisions. today the federal government has inserted itself in areas of the economy we have never seen before. it is absolutely unprecedented. they jammed through a health care build the nation did not want. even massachusetts rejected obamacare. we as a nation simply need, if we would just follow the constitution, that is why the state sovereignty task force was created. not only will we be able to balance the budget, protect our children from an affordable tax rates, but also have a more accountable government

as we proceed to the questions along. mr. mayer, your experience with asking the voters to raise the saes tax is fairly unique and certainly courageous ad the reminder there is anelement of american public life that is faithful to every grod breaking for been cutting and faithful to opposing every expenditure tell us how you did. >> we went out linked to go to every part of the county as you know i represent a city of 4 million. i county 10.5 mlion. we got a bipartisan support for the measure. we made sure that the projects were identified the people would vote on that represented the need of the entire region. i think the fact frankly that we have as much people were bought into this for those reasons as well and then finally we said to them there would be some oversight about how we spend the money because the concern is we are going to tax and how do they get killed and how we make sure they get built so there is an oversight committee that looks at that will oversee how we spend this money. >> thank you. but i recognize mr. tiberi. >> thank you. just a question forhe governor and the mayor. over the last year we have heard from -- let me back up. we have he

as well. host: anthony in arizona, your honor with mr. sheehan. go ahead. mr. sheehan is reconnecting his microphone. i will listen in natu that we year. caller: thank you for the opportunity to pass on an ad pass on a suggestion that i have. based on my experience, the most significant way to defend against domestic terrorism is a is to infiltrate. guest: i absolutely agree. i think it is the key way. these are the intellence instruments their use. infiltrate by putting informants, undercover agents, and then you get the authority to listen to their phones and wiretaps. that is the bread and butter, the blocking and tackling of infiltrating a terrorist organization, organized crime, or narcotics whatever. host: it is it -- is a different situation en it is combating domestic terrorism? guest: it is, and the reason it is more politically sensitive than organized crime or narcotics trafficking is that often, you might be looking at people that may just be a political dissidents. they may be angry at the government and they are allowed to be angry at the government. you are allowed to express their frustration and you are allowed to meet with people to express that. what you're not allowed t

system would provided an added layer of redundancy that could operate in physical connection between the blowout preventer and the rig, would bp be willing to accept that technology as best available technology? >> we would accept anything that improve upon what we have in terms of redundancy. i would ask experts that. we'd be willing to do that if looked like it would help anything. >> was it considered by british petroleum to require that in its operations at any time? >> i don't know. >> could you find that out and let us know? do any of the other witnesses have information about that as to whether or not the akustically-triggered device was ever considered by british petroleum? do you have any information or any other witnesses? >> i would not. >> no information, no. >> i don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment on what bp may or not may have considered. >> well, we'll look forward to your letting us know, mr. mckay. there's been some press reports that the cost dissuaded british petroleum from installing this additional safety mechanism. so we'll be interested to see what you find out in your review. i want to ask about the capability of this shang

as the last budget was, but a at least acted. and in that proficiency i brought an amendment to require that fannie mae and freddie mac debt be added our national debt calculations. now, why would i do that? according to the congressional budget office director douglas elmendorf, "after the u.s. government assumed control in 2008 of fannie mae and freddie mac, two federally chartered institutions that provide credit guarantees for almost half -- and by the way, as indicated, it's almost two-thirds of all the outstanding residential mortgages in the united states -- the congressional -- the congressional budget office concluded that the institutions had effective become government entities whose operations should be included in the federal budget. so here we have the chairman -- or, he is us could me, the director of the congressional budget office says, we run these companies. we're financially backing these companies. we should at least include them in our budget. the purpose of my amendment then and the same language that is in this amendment on the floor today was to include in the debt calculation of the budget resolution the d

as a result, the assessment was lowered to 5% of assets, a move which ensured that large banks with heavy assets paid an assessment which fairly accounted for the addedrisk that they posed to the banking system. so i really applaud sheila baird for making that decision. but the broader base was only used one time and the fdic has now reverted to the tradition of annual premium based on domestic deposits assets base. the dodd bill continues to give the fdic the authority to continue using this narrow base of domestic deposits. the hutchison-tester amendment will put in place in statute that we will have the fair assessment that will be the mandate. there will not be options to create this unlevel playing field between the big banks and the community banks. it just makes sure that the community banks will never have to pay a higher portion of the deposit insurance when they have a lower amount of the assets. our amendment levels the playing field. since the beginning of 2008, 229 banks from across the united states have failed. and the cost of these failures have left the deposit insurance fund below the statutory limit requirement despite last spring'
