no waiting, no insurance, as well. we've been getting a lot of questions about something on the news lately. about the safety of the new airport scanners. a lot of the scanners are already in airports and more are on the way as we heard from president obama recently. and annette in washington, d.c. writes this, i would like to know if it presents any health hazards. more specifically, harmful radiation that could lead to long-term problems. annette, let me start off by saying this. i travel all the time, i have a wife and three kids who also travel a lot. i want to break this down for you. first of all we're talking about this thing called back scatter x-ray screening. the important thing to sort of notice as you look at images like this is you're actually bouncing some radiation off the scan and it's coming back to the machine. that's how authorities can scan and get images like the ones you're looking at right here. they're trying to look for some dangerous items that might be underneath someone's clothes. but we've

as well as the markets we serve. in fact, our products touch people's lives as well as the planet on the whole in so many ways that sustainable development is critical or four business success. in the development of sustainable building design and construction solutions that i'd like to talk about today. i think what you'll see is that baer offers many material solutions to this area, but also i want to be able to address how we feel that only by working openly and seamlessly with organizations such as academia as well as the government and other industry partners will we be able to meet challenges of this particular market, and that's what i'd like to go into a little more right off the bat. baer favors a holistic approach whereby the walls, if you will, of the construction process are broken down replaced by an open plant whereby the state-of-the-art building solutions are able to be achieved. we think this holistic approach can be achieved by combining the expertise of architects, engineering firms financing organ

one of the pieces we have been there, because it's important for medicaid as well as this as well as frankly, any of the cash benefit models that are out there in the private industry, who are the people that are going to do the care? who are you going to pay? where is the cash going for the care? what was asked in the bill is that states, when they submit their state plan for medicaid, have to do a survey in the state to try to get a sense of what is the work force look like, based on what they are offering. you can't keep doing these things will be expensive if you don't have the people to deliver the care. there's a little bit of a back going up from that from those who would have to do the survey. and i think will probably push them back real hard on that. because that's an obligation that you can't be offering people a benefit and say here it is, but there's nobody you can get to do it. so we really want people -- we want a medicaid system to take a good hard look. this is even with community choice. you need to know who is out there, and we need to know that because that tells

. -- resilience as well. i still focus on the rest of the world. yes, these wars of focus us in iraq and afghanistan and pakistan and in that part of the world. there are challenges that we face globally, economically, as well as security-wise. whether it is the entire episode based and which i think is -- the entire pacific basin which i think will be important, it is the emergence of challenges in africa. africa is a continent with great riches and the enormous challenges whether it is spam and or disease -- whether it is a famine or disease. those are not problems for the united states to solve. these are problems for the world community to focus on. i am from southern california. i was raised at a time when i was trained to look east and west for a being from southern california, i have not been heavily engaged with mexico or with latin america. that is another part of the world in our own hemisphere that we will have to focus more and more on as partners. particularly with brazil, that is another economi

interviewing world war ii veterans and i've done about 3,000 interviews with world war ii veterans as well as veterans from world war i, all the way through korea, afghanistan and iraq, and you mentioned i was actually embedded in a marine platoon in iraq with come in the battle of fallujah. but it was always about the veterans' stories in the brenner assignment is one of the most amazing stories i ever came across. i was working on my third book called spy saboteurs which is a history of the oss and when i was doing that i but go to the national archives to find research on the buck, and the national archives is about 3 cubic miles of records. inside the archives it is like drilling for oil. you don't know if you are going to find if you are going to find oil or you are going to find a dry hole and i was going through box after box after box of one day at dawn something called the tacoma shan and it was this this dealed file that had arrested stables on it and i turned to the tacoma mission and it was a page 69 think and i flipped through it. talk about how an oss agent was suddenly surro

the road is the internet as well as the road that the truck arrives on. the biggest group of our members works on the network itself. it is their job. we are looking at an economy now with a minimum of 10% unofficial employment. the job creation employs people who work on the network. catching up in terms of the economic development that goes along with it. it is about folks in the u.s. turning into consumers. you cannot really be a consumer without working. it is a combination of the two. several hundred thousand of our members actually work on the network and are concerned about their futures. we promote among our own members, constant upgrading of skills. look to the future and not to the technologies of the past. we started the campaign in iowa two years ago. it was our members in iowa who met with candidates in both parties to talk about libraries, schools, hospitals, and clinics in i would not have high-speed connections and what that means. our organization is not just about the standard of living, but also about employment, where the skills come f

as when i am in pakistan. will you leave us again? they remember very well that we have in the past, and so, there is a trust issue there. there is uncertainty. through afghanistan -- and afghanistan's eyes as to whether or not we will stay. and so there is a trust problem there. and a relationship building requirement there as well. and when i come back it iran, we will not have had a relationship with iran since 1979. so, building that kind of a relationship, and what is that mean? and i speak to the difficulty of the other relationships and look at what 30 years potentially can do. so there is a awful lot of both concern and potential. and i think focus that will need to be sustained with respect to iran and that part of the world. we have great friends in that part of the world. allies that have supported us. who are anxious to continue to support us and to see stability there particularly in the gulf area and not see it -- not see it break out into any kind of conflict. um, briefly, i talk about the -- what i call the best military i have served with si

but really last vigilance by the yemeny as well as the u.s.overnment allowed al qaeda following the prison break that you talked about in your report to really rebuild and essentially resurrect itself up from the ashes. >> mr. barrett, we talked about lapsed vigilance. also we have heard about people who not only have broken out of prison but detainees from guantanamo who were released back to yemen. six of the 97 who were being held there. has that also served to make al qaeda flourish? >> well, indeed. one of the senior sort of theologians if you can grace him with that title is somebody who he was in guantanamo. two of the saudi arabians who joined with the yemeny branch in january of last year were ex-guantanamo. one of them now has gone back to saudi arabia and given himself up. so clearly there are these people who are prepared to continue the fight. but i think when you look at all the people who have been through the saudi program and indeed all the people who have come out of guantanamo still fairly low number that have gone back to s

murphy does a lot of the dirty work and is a very skilled player as well. >> she presents herself asring option for the team. obviously you the two and inside outside presence but you need somebody else to step up and carry some of that load as well. >> swords nicely done off the thoman miss. >> i love the way carolyn swords finds the gap to get to the boards. she's not going through people she's doing around them and she's able to coral rebounds and right at the bacteria. >> swords and murphy combined for 12 of boston colleges 17 points a quick start for the eagles. this is interesting. they are 10 and 7 but played the first three games without their point guard. jaclyn thoman was suspended for those games and they lost all three harvard rutgers and vermont. so a 10 and 7 record is a little bit deceiving. picco fires up a three and it stays with boston college. >> picco has the green light off the transition. she's open she's going to take it. georgia tech dodging a bullet not finding the transition enough to locate to her. going back to that situation i think it was a wakeup call e

speed matters as well as downstream. but, you know, there's lots of examples of why it matters. i mean, for a high-def video connection you need about 6 or 7 megs just for that. things like c-span itself are not just entertainment. you know, as we look forward to where we're headed, you know, that's going to be the global standard. but more importantly than in the residence, it's also many the community. so if we look at a state like west virginia where we're very concerned about speed and broadband deployment, high-speed internet the connection cans, it affects the entire economy of the state when there's no high-speed connections in most of the town, for example, in west virginia in term thes of economic development. so just as companies in the past would have looked at, you know, what are the roads through this town, now the road is the internet as well as, you know, the road the truck arrives on. >> host: and why is the cwa endorsing or, you know, supporting high-speed? >> guest: well, again, the biggest group of our

you need to be able to upstream speed matters as well as downstream. there's lots of examples of why it matters. for a high death video connection, you need about six or seven mags just for that. and we think of it in terms of entertainment is a major driver of the things like c-span itself are not just entertainment. another look forward to where we're headed, you know, that's going to be the goal. more importantly than in the resident comments also in the community peers overlook in a state like west virginia, where we're very concerned about speed and broadband deployment, high-speed internet connections, it affects the entire economy of the state when there is no high-speed connections and most of the towns, for example, in west virginia in terms of economic development. the justice companies in the past would've looked at what are the roots of this town, now the road is the internet as well as the road is that the truck arrives on. >> host: and why is the cwa endorsing and supporting high-speed? >> guest: the biggest groups of our members to work

that is ritual as the medicare and medicaid services as well as health affairs to bring out these spendingumbers every year, and we're delighted to be able to do that once more. this year we have historic numbers to help act twares and others unveil. and as you will hear and perhaps already read we had an historic slowdown in the rate of health care spending as well as rate of growth in 50 years.ç] of course the other side of the story is health care spending still grew faster than the overall economy so we're not out of our long-term projectry with the health differing to pay for the health 06 our folks.Ñi and i will turn it over to our folks from cms to present the data. you'll be hearing from micah hartman. with the office of the act tware at the centers for medicare medicaid services or cms. he works primarily on historical and age-basedçó national health care spending benefits and fromtousened university. and we'll hear from anne maten who is an economist with the office of the act twares from the offices of medicare medicaid services. she earned her b.a. from the university of baltim

ivan watson is there as well. what did you see today that jumped out at you as part of your coverage? >> so much jumped out at us. specifically dealing with relief and trying to get the relief to the people who need it the most. we were at a place earlier today called delmar -- we went to one place that used to be a golf course where haitian's elite used to play. now it's a massive tent city where we came across thousands of people there. many of them in need of water and food. at one point, we saw military helicopters come in, drop in relief supplies, and most relief organizers will tell you that's not the best way to distribute goods, simply because when you do that, the strong can get to it because they run up the hill sooids or wherever the supplies are being dropped. but the weak, the elderly, the sick, those are the people who then cannot get to the supplies. so that's one of the moments that was tough to watch. but on the flip side of that, we made it out to the area called canape bear. that's in the wes pe

they represent this country as well as serving. i've said that we too broadly unsure but i think it gives an overlay that says yes they don't ever stop being citizens to you don't lose their constitutional protections, but there are some limits that can be imposed on them under lawful military authority. >> secretary west said all that like a true veteran ideas. it was absolutely perfect. and i would just add that so let's say we are having, it's the political season and people are running for office. a member of the armed forces is not allowed to show up there in uniform. now if they choose to do so and values my words very carefully, they will be counseled to be sure, i would say, they would probably be part of a short but exciting conversation is the way i might put it. and there are other areas when we are overseas, the first thing we tell our sailors as they do are ambassadors of the united states of america. and we put limits on the kind of things that we expected them to do when things that we clearly expect them not to do.

as well as larger scale development support for haiti. our commitment in the hemisphere to haiti is a very long established one and we anticipate that being to continuing. so i don't think there's something new about our efforts in this regard. in terms of the construct about how we would do this. we been doing this in partnership with the haitian government. i forthrightly with president preval. i've had the pleasure of working with his ministers as well. we been able to do that any effective partnership. it has been in haiti for the last 9012 months, it's been a great window to be able to try and accomplish any number of different things and his government has been committed to be providing the leadership in that regard. and enable a flash of there was a donor conference for all of the different countries came together and said we want to do this in partnership with haiti, and haiti has a plain. i think that spirit is the spirit in which people are arriving today. they are not looking in any way to be anything other than a partner to ha

so it is a bureaucratic problem as well as one of the technical aspects to it. the lost time over the last three years, i think, got yemen to what it is now. the economic situation that we are facing. so i hope that london conference will address these issues in order to avoid repeating this mistake that happened in the past. we feel the donors realize the importance of the stability of yemen and it's unity. and that is what we bank on in london conference this time is that there will be a serious look at the needs of yemen for development and it will be addressed. and then we can look at the processes after that. regarding the terrorists who are in yemen, i can assure you that those who are in the hands of the government are apprehended, and some of them have been prosecuted. of course there are some that are at large, and these are being pursued by the security forces. [inaudible] >> thank you. >> yes, sir. >> you called it a common threat. what are the exact step that you require the yemen government to take to make sure that the threat is not really threaten

and there are others as well. you may ask how his va doing and my answer to you would be, we've only just begun. there is no clear-cut answers here. and even as the issue of self-destruction becomes more complex and changes, we have to adjust. our initiatives are new. we don't have enough hard evidence yet, but we think we're headed in the right direction. we can take heart at some of the early emerging trends and encouraging indicators. we know, for example, that since the start of oes suicide rates caused decreased and veterans who come to west or health care. despite the fact that i say five veterans a month we lose who are under our program. there are many, many more veterans were coming to to us for treatment and our suicide rate for veterans over yet oif veterans who are under care, those rates have come down. and despite public perceptions to the contrary, we don't have any evidence for increased suicide rate amongst oes and oif veterans relative to the veteran population as well. now, where do we go from he

dan will join us now and i guess the subsequent question is, who's next, as well? >> it seems like forever. redskins in the air as we speak and there's a chance that jim zorn is being relean kwished of his duties somewhere over nebraska. but his monday regular press conference scheduled for 12:25 at redskins parked. i would be shocked in the redskins make zorn answer all of the end-of-the year questions before they fire him. that would be cruel and unusual punishment. he'll be out in the next 24 hours and mike shannihan appears to be his replacement. the skins finished like they started, with another loss. there's jim zorn and defensive coordinator, greg blache. blache could be on his way out as well. the skins led and then billy bollock hits mike toll vert. and afterwards zorn was asks if he expects to be fired. >> i have no indication of that and i would not even comment on that until, you know, it's -- there's a lot of things imsure, out there as far as stories and there already has been. i get that. but i'm working on our team meeting. i'm working on our off-sea

the deep freezing is heading all the way to the deep south as well. we were some 4 to 5 degrees below where we should be today which is actually the low 40s. didn't make that today. but just above the freezing mark as far as baltimore is concerned. look at where we stand right now with our temperatures. 32 degrees at national airport. 32 annapolis. 27 at gaithersburg. 31 degrees at dulles. but there's wind chills so here's what it actually feels like outside. only 24 degrees in the nation's capital. 22 at dulles. 17 at martinsburg. well, to the far west there is a wind chill advisory where tonight about sunday morning it's going to feel like it's at least minus 5 degrees. winds there gusting up to 25 miles an hour. now, i do have a bit of a warm- up in my five-day forecast. i'm going to give you those details when i come upstairs but here's a hint. don't think you're going to need any sun stan lotion. it's not -- suntan lotion. it's not going to be that warm atall. >> thanks for that. >>> as you know, this arctic blast is hitting the entire region. thi

they had recently bombed the norwegian delegation and a hotel and kabul, as well as is well known, the egyptian embassy has also been bombed and islamabad has also been bombed by al qaeda. so there's a violence, censorship, and self-censorship. those are some of the legacies of the cartoon conflict. a new framework for the international unification of islamic phobia. certainly a new legal definition of what the meaning of blasphemy, and speech restrictions. but i think also it is important to note that in some regard the cartoons have also become a western soap opera. muslims need not even participate in it for westerners to start getting concerned about what we can say and not say about islam, or in september 2006, a berlin opera performance was canceled on -- not based on any active thread, but simply anticipation of a development along the lines of the cartoons. we have had various acting out performances, almost i would describe him as happenings in the manner of the cartoons. in july 2007, a swedish cartoonist set up some cutoffs portraying muhammed as a dog, he called him. anothe
