really a perfect world for boston college.re not scoring inside and they're not -- they're in that mid-range game, i think with them you can live with. i think with miami, they established themselves in the paint, on the offensive glass, making drives to the basket, raji inside, more the game that they played. >> ron: jackson nice free-throw strokes. 60% on the year. the lead moves back to 14. >> ron: grant has been quiet. scoop shot off the mark, tipped around and here comes harris, jackson on the left. to the right side and we have a whistle and foul. i don't think they can believe that. jones thought he had a basketball. >> ron: there's the look up the floor and talked about paris, has such a great feel. chances are, he will try to get the ball to raji to make

last touched by boston college.time our jenn hildreth had a chance to talk with jim baron. >> jenn: what mike said about rebounding, certainly that's going to be a key for rhode island. they know that's where boston college wants to bring it. that's what jim baron said, we have to do a better job of that. we have to be physical and aggressive. very clear he did not want his team to let their foot off the pedal at all. >> mike: i made the point about cothran and his scoring. a lot of times great scorers will let other guys work into the game and then look for their own offense a little more aggressively in the second half. that's what cothran has done in the first 2:30. >> tim: concern for cothran, a reach-in that time by james. out of bounds to boston college. but cothran was somewhat reluctant about be becoming the team leader for this rhode island team as jimmy baron dominated the ball so much. he was a tremendous player, his son now playing over in turkey. cothran looks every bit the leader that jimmy baron want

♪ >>> miami has not taken of boston college going over four minutes without a point because boston collegell leads. we were talking about paris and grant scott. updating their numbers. >> mike: a tough night offensively for them. corey raji doing what he does, 17 points, biko paris leading the way, not a big time scorer, but seven assists and really controlling the offense. >> ron: at the line will be trapani, four points in the ballgame, struggled with his outside shot, 1 of 11. just 0 for 4 from the line. his first miss at the line in three attempts. normally solid free-throw shooter at 75.3%. >> ron: most of his shots have been contested, hasn't had many great looks at the basket even from the perimeter. >> mike: second leading scorer r averaging 15 but less than that today. >> ron: drops it down and cuts the lead to 10. >> mike: i'm sure that last time out a lot of it was spent, frank, 10 points in eight minutes is nothing for us. >> ron: absolutely. >> mike: sometimes you have to grab hold of your team and make them remember who they are. >> ron: they trailed by 14 earlier this year a

boston college cut it to four. rhode island said, we're going to play our game. >> mike: there's that high screen roll, a nice shot right there. and then out in the open floor, you can just see that bc isn't getting to people at this point. that is just an easy look on the second pass of the possession for jamal wilson. >> tim: let's go over to jenn hildreth. >> jenn: you were talking about the body language by the boston college players. there's a fine line between maintaining your composure and not having enough effort. i'm not sure where these eagles fall along that line right to you. if you look at loose balls and who's winning that battle, it's almost always gone to rhode island, especially in this half so far. >> mike: you talk to the coaching staff and the think they talked about were lapses defensively and stretches. it happened in harvard. they needed 40 minutes of execution and concentration. to this point there have been lapses that have allowed rhode island to capitalize. >> tim: another inbounds turn j

there were lots of women in boston who were merchants. if we get time in q&a, i'll tell you about a women's merchants coffee riot. maybe because it wasn't respectable, or maybe -- and this is the theory i went with in the book -- when a ship was captured by the enemy, it was traditional to let the crew and the passengers keep their personal items. so maybe the reason john referred to these as for family use is maybe if they were captured, they wouldn't be seized. i'm not sure. but the reality is one of the early shipments that john sent abigail was captured, and he wrote his wife saying, burn my fingers, don't want to meddle in this anymore. but abigail wrote john back saying, look, it's true this is a dangerous business, but the very profit that makes it dangerous -- you know, this is rule britain ya. british warships pretty much controlled the atlantic, but the few ships that can run the blockade and get to boston, the people with goods on those ships can name their own price. to quote her, she said, if one in three arrives, i should be

ann marie blute was born on may 30, 1925, in boston, massachusetts. as the oldest of eight, she raised her siblings, which would only help prepare her for raising 11 children of her own one day. in 1947, she married dr. robert blute sr., an army doctor and sailed to germany where they lived for two years. after returning to the states, her husband began practicing medicine in rochester, massachusetts, while she raised her family and volunteered tirelessly within the catholic church. as the parishioner at st. mary's church in shrewsbury, mrs. blute served on many committees. she taught catechism, worked with the women's guild and was a eucharist minister. in 1994, she received the ultimate honor for all of her service to the shrewsbury community through the catholic church with the title of one of the catholic religious orders related to charitable service. sher generosity extended outside her family and her neighbors. after her children had left for college, mrs. blute offered her home and her hospitality to young vietnamese im-- immigrants. one, who

now, lastly, according to an economic survey done at boston university, the extensively analyzed medicare advantage payments, and they found that just 14% of the additional funds that these private plans have received have gone to benefit medicare enrollees. the vast majority of the payments, 86% go to profits, c.e.o. salaries, corporate jets, all these other things, or they might even, some of them, may go to things like gym memberships or spa memberships. i raised a point the other day, why should my medicare beneficiaries in iowa have to pay more in medicare so that a medicare beneficiary, say, in arizona, in arizona can go to a spa and have it paid for by medicare advantage? paid for by the subsidies of of $12 billion that we give them. that come both from taxpayers and from medicare recipients right now. so i don't think it's fair for my seniors and i to have to pay for that. now, a lot has been said about all the people that are in the medicare advantage plans. i looked up the figures. right now, nationally, only 18.6% of all enrollees are in medicare advantage. a little less than o

2000, late 1999 i got in touch with him, and he invited me to come and see him at the hospital in bostonand then he invited me to spend, to follow him around for a month and i did an article about him. i later learned, and then after that i asked for access to go on and write a book, which he granted although it took him awhile to agree to do that. i don't think he really wanted this, but what i have heard since then is that some of his closest colleagues, ophelia adel in jim young can, when i propose the profile said something to the effect, we are broke his usual and not enough people know about this work. wadah he take a chance? so that is pretty much the long-winded answer but thank you. >> there are nights where me and my executive board, there's six people doing this whole college wide defense and sometimes it got so systematic over a span of eight months trying to convince people, trying to raise awareness and we just always referred to your book, so i'm really glad you wrote it and gave me the opportunity so thank you. >> thank you.

around the country and we see enormous variation so for example if you have a heart attack in say boston, you would cost medicare $30,000 over the course of a year. that same heart attack in portland oregon would cost medicare about $23,000 a year and the difference, that's 7,000-dollar difference is lots more stuff happening to you in boston. but no better outcomes and in fact there is evidence to suggest that you have worked out comes in places where you get more care so that is one of the primary cares that-- aways that those numbers are calculated. if you just go talk to docks and not all hospital administrators but some, they will tell you there's a tremendous amount of waste in the system and they are all sorts of reasons for it and everyone has their own reason for why it happens, but the waste is there and it endangers patients. >> the questions are all on this side. yes. >> why is our capital society got into so much worse than the european cabalistic societies? is there any way we can trace it back? i know about other types in our system but i can understand this, how bad it ha

she works at a cancer hospital in boston. the announcer said that i was throwing the ball with joanna, but she was doing it for the children. she got a lot of applause for that. >> sit over there, we can continue chatting a little bit. what do people not know about this court that you want them to know? the average person that does not understand. >> two things. one is the job of the court -- much more a straight legal job than people think. people think that we decide what we like. that isn't true. i feel like i never decide what i like. very often, these questions are hard, and the law is not clear. the fourteenth amendment says that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. what does that mean? you cannot be deprived the right of asking a doctor if you're at the end of life to commit suicide? do you have the constitutional right or not? there are ways of finding out. it is not surprising that people divide on such questions. that does not mean you're deciding according to your pr

sniper of chilly, the boston red sox when the world series. -- perhaps parochial thly, the boston redsox win the world series. host: featured very prominently are president barack obama and former vice presidential candidate sarah palin. tell me why these folks were so high up on the list of winners and losers, and why they helped to define the event of the decade. guest: this is not a scientific order, but obviously, they dominated the political scene. president obama is an extraordinary thing. the left, and that you had on, the managing editor of "board policy magazine" talking about how obama is perceived abroad -- we have never had someone is popular around the world. they gave him the nobel prize. everybody wants him to succeed, all over the world. here at home, although our politics is polarized, he is not a particularly polarizing figure. that is what we need to remember. bush and clinton were party people. he has a persona that people like, and the world wants barack obama to succeed. that is an amazing thing. sarah palin, she is polarizing, but she is laughing all the way to

adams was like all the intellectuals live in boston. and jefferson was like monticello, the climate is wonderful and they go back and forth and eventually he decides to live in rural pennsylvania which is an odd choice. and there was a utopian societies was going to build in pennsylvania did did not pan out. but he did spend a lifetime in philadelphia and initially was very close to adams, but he and adams had a little falling out and then he got close to jefferson, had a wonderful correspondence with jefferson and when adams got elected president while jefferson was vice president when the rift develops between adams and jefferson over a number of things but largely over france, priestley decides to pretty much through his lot in with jefferson and he starts writing having come to america to come stay out of trouble he wasn't quite able to do that so he starts writing some pamphlets kind of fan support of jefferson and more explicitly very critical lot adams and he had a colleague named thomas cooper who grew even more vitriolic attack

he loved boston and the amazing writers and philosophers and politicians from massachusetts.ns to the old north church and to walden pond and to the homes of herman melville and nathaniel hawthorne. he thought that massachusetts was the greatest place on earth, and he had letters from many of its former senators like daniel webster and john quincy adams hanging on his walls, inspired by things heroic. he was a civil war broke. when we were growing up, he would have us all intoismy fathd things. he loved his classic wooden schooner. he loved his 1973 pontiac convertible. my father taught me to treat everyone i meet, no matter what station in life, with the same dignity and respect. he could be discussing arms control with the psident at 3:00 p.m. and meeting with a union carpenter on "teddy, let me tell you something -- making beds all day is backbreaking work. the woman who passed a clean up after us today has a family to feed -- the woman who has to clean up after us today has a family to feed." that is just the kind of guy he was. he adds with uncle joe's call to patriotism

the lowell institute and the boston foundation.our focus this evening is senator kennedy was the legendary life, extraordinary career, and enduring legacy, especially as told through his best selling memoir, ago true, was." mrs. kennedy has -- his memoir, "true compass." with such an outstanding and array of speakers to hear from, i will be brief in my introduction. additional by graphic liberation is listed in your program. doris kearns goodwin has endeared herself to this library and are wider audience would prefer groundbreaking history, her many appearances on this stage, discussing her most recent book, honoring arthur schlesinger, or moderating a conversation with her husband, richard goodwin, who served in the kennedy administration. as a lover of personal memoirs, it is the image of her childhood to which i am drawn in those bleak october days when the red sox fall short, recalling the heartbreaking season ending losses she endured as a young fan of the brooklyn dodgers. as her title suggests, are riding in historical comme

american airlines flight that he was targeting that was flying between paris and miami was diverted to boston board. i believe it was something like 180 passengers on board that flight in 2001 in the december christmas season of dwun. now, you know, if these bombs go off successfully, we've seen in the past, in 1994, for instance. the nephew of the operational commander of 9/11 set off a bomb on a flight in asia which killed a japanese businessman. it was the first example of a bomb assemble d on the plane and then blew up. this is the model al qaeda has tried to use since. we've seen this model also in the summer of 2006. you may remember, ali, that a group of british citizens, some of whom train with al qaeda try to bring down seven american and canadian airplanes with liquid explosi explosives which is why you can't bring a significant quantity of liquids on flight. if those guys succeeded they would have killed 1,500 people. the planes would have blown up in the middle of the atlantic. it would have been hard to do the forensics to analyze it. in the past, these kinds of cases, prosecutor

>> if any of you have been to boston, you know about the big dig, one of our biggest urban infrastructure projects ever. it was supposed to cost a couple of million dollars and the federal government put in a lot of the money. it ended up having huge cost overruns and took decades to actually finish. that actually had a collapsing tunnel that ended up killing a woman. it was a pretty horrendous process overall. one of the problems was that they were actually standing mostly federal money. when your spending other people's money, those cost overruns and other things in that occurring. it was called the case of the red herring bold. a bold kept slipping, and they kept on misdiagnosing why they were slipping. they did not look at obvious. they could only see it in a certain way. basically, over time, it ended up in the collapsing of the tunnel. what occurred with the big dig was simply the notion of, they wanted to see it in a certain way and refuse to look at alternative viewpoints and see it differently. a lot of infrastructure projects we looked at had massive cost overruns and massive pr

i sometimes attend a synagogue in boston, and i've noticed that the rabbi there has introduced into the worship there at the synagogue what are quite evidently buddhist elements. so for example, when they say they shalom greeting, he tells them he doesn't want to say, that would be a little too much perhaps. he says now join and we are going to say shalom. he holds that out. [laughter] >> you don't have to be a phd in religion do know that that's something of a borrowing. this is going on across the board. and i think it's a good sign. also, another major change that i see in the nature of religiousness is that the focus moving from a preparation for some of the world, although that's not completely forgotten, how one lives one's life in this world, how one makes it better. how one moves it in jesus turns toward something like a kingdom of healing and justice of reconciliation, a kingdom of god. that is a whole focus and i could document its analogy in the other traditions as well. now finally, the third point of the book, and i want to make this very briefly, is i think because of the

host: our next call comes from boston, mass., you oppose the bill, why is that?ler: actually, i have been a democrat all my life but i cannot wait to go to city hall the first of the year and change to a republican or independent. this is the bill that nobody -- 75% of the american people do not even want. the way it has been passed, people in the senate did in to their constituents all these bribes. i don't know if they are brothers but anything to get the vote. i want change but this is not the change a wanted. i am so sick. i am devastated by this whole thing host: what kind of change would like? caller: i thought there be a change for the war was concerned or it is doing different things that were not done in the past administration. that is what i was hoping but none of these things have come true. we are going bankrupt. i cannot believe in my life that we owe money to china and everybody else and all this man wants to do is spend, spend, spend. these things that he has done, putting money into the states, the unemployment is still at a drastic high. host: t
