[ laughter ] >> reporter: the engineers were right. for 50 years the bay bridge has been the workhorse of bay area traffic. when i talked tot men who built the bridge, i noticed a common trait amon them all of the not one of them gave a thought to their working conditions. hundreds of feet above the bay and gusty wines slippery wet fog, a bridge-builders agility and concentration were the only safety lines he had. not everyone is caught out for this kind of work and those who weren't, found out almost immediately. a. >> aa lot of th

and i think that that's effectively zero boyd of attardi you know ballistic missile in some senses is more difficult than targeting a satellite and therefore targeting a satellite is almost always ok filippi that's associated with missile defense system. in february two thousand and eight the united states destroyed a disabled satellite of its own using missile defense interceptors. in the us demonstrated that these interceptors also called kill vehicles can obliterate any satellite in low earth orbit but missile defense is a trojan horse that has nothing to do with defense whatsoever it's all about projecting power it's about office i've been to the bases in colorado springs and i've personally seen over the door where it says master of space. and i read the documents vision for twenty twenty and a whole array of other military space command documents that have said for years that us will control space that we will dominate space that we will deny other countries access the space we five percent of the world's population in the united states are going to deny other countries access t

seven series and save victory and who far today would hand them the trophy although atlanta will be boyd by their forney a win in the latest match constantine picked up off looks back at about one. i do admit i met for three down in the best of seven serious disparately needing a win on home ice to keep alive in the finals the game was very much in the balance and there was scoring opportunities for both sides made some spectacular saves but a first goal seemed inevitable with such a flood of chances. and it was the host who were forced to break the deadlock five minutes into the second period. stick was broken. and posted to the who sent it to the top corner of perfectly ten minutes later. the region home increasing their lead. to the hard choice which again is midnight. and then they can help it find the next to nothing at the end of the second frame faced a group. that in waterman who played a phenomenal game between the pipes even when the visitor had to man up they had failed to capitalize and seem to almost believe in goal isn't in civility on the night and never got right without

boyd by their first trophy in three years last weekend real madrid remains a kicker faint spanish league title hopes alive away to valencia on time whistle just a body to blow up the missed style ryall well they are home and dry pretty much four goals to get through it all on the home side if they keep going which is if it will do some rain used to betray a leader barcelona by five points with half a dozen games to build by the time but not just on and just to barcelona will just be taking off their weekend clash with relegation threatened us assume the unreality remember meet next week in the first of their two legged champions league semifinal else worth today let it build themselves up tonight and european cup qualification take on the table reality see that. also a lot because fans can breathe a temporary sigh of relief after their very special knowledge or quell the rumor mill earlier today stating he will not quit his real madrid job to return to enter milan next year but did not. doing so at a later date with forty eight year old would be a welcome figure at the sun ciro having wo

producer jenny churchill and sadly i think possibly for the last time here in our studio is michael boyd has senior editor of reason magazine or reason dot com michael is moving on from washington because it's. really you're just not a patriot anymore you know you know or you have that in common with superman s.f. and also the current record or all because it doesn't arms right now because superman is apparently giving up his american citizenship in an upcoming edition and naturally i mean republicans can't realize that it's just a comic book so they're up in arms and they think that this is just treasonous and . i'm a little confused on why it took this for them to be up in arms because i've been thinking about it and how does superman have citizenship anyways i'm pretty sure he's an alien you started out that he's an are you here are the things that you know you're right there i don't know i'm just using you but he is from a different from mine and right kryptonite is not the substance or the obvious but you know i don't know i don't know much about superman i've seen a few of his movi

boyd about the coming books coming out. >> a number of exciting new books with two new books being agree released with beyond politics and we will be releasing backed early april and doing some heavy promotion, it is a classic book something that all students should read 30 and more about free-market principles and the foundations of our democracy with the political atmosphere beyond politics is essential. we just released to the new holy wear out today show the wars of bob nelson who did any event featuring the dichotomy between economic religion and environmental religion. we also have habeas corpus coming out with anthony gregory so we're very excited about that. and we will be investigating new works in the fall so we have exciting projects on the horizon. looking up next year is a book that we terms of dirty dozen for now but looking at the dirtiest does send government bill years over the past 100 years and that should be keep in mind. >> dizzy as a to have its own press or publish through someone else? >> the institute does publish our own books and we work with outside publishers

. >>> aviation expert michael boyd joins us from bloomin gblooming illinois. good morning. what do you think led to this collision at jfk? >> a pilot that didn't know what he was doing. forget everything else, this pilot ran into another airplane. he should know how big his airplane is, but that doesn't change the fact we have radar systems and other backup that should have told the pilot he was moving along into another airplane. so we have a systemic breakdown here. >> what is the problem? you've got this brand-new plane. my car if i parallel park tells me if i'm too close to the curb. thereof was nothing that gave this pilot an alert that a plane was that close? >> apparently not. but the reality is, i don't care if his nose wheel was in the middle of the taxiway, he knows he has a big airplane and he ran into another airplane. so the bottom line of it is we have a pilot at the bottom line who screwed up. and i think that's going to be the bottom of it. but we have other systems there that should have avoided this, and that's what we have to look into. >> i want to discu

i'm jim boyd, energy commissioner and happen to be the stay's liaison to the u.s. regulatory commission which may indicate why i'm here. i appreciate you having this hearing. >> quick question, are you appointed by the governor? >> yes. >> how long have you served? >> i'm in my tenth year. >> thanks very much. please proceed. >> this tragic 9 magnitude earthquake and its impacts upon the japanese people certainly underscore importance relating to seismic understandings in a state like california. you've heard all about our two plants. you've heard from senator blakeslee and detailed the difficulties we have had of the operator for seismic studies and we have another plant which the recommendations apply equally. the 2008 study found there are seismic concerns there that effect tsunami potential as well. subsequently, you heard from actually senator boxer who referenced that my agency and the puc directed the two agencies, the operators of these plants to undertake the studies. but that resulted in a race by pg and e to file for re-licensing well in advance of what

"beyond politics" is absolutely essential. we just released "the new holy wars" with bob nelson, and he did an event featuring the dichotomy between economic religion and environmental religion. so we've got, also, "habeas corpus" coming out with anthony gregory who's a new author, so we're very excited about that. and we'll be, we'll be kind of -- we'll be investigating some new works early in the fall, but we've got some exciting, exciting projects on the horizon. o

but i was talking to a media guide today and they said boyd the sharks did not distinguish themselveswhich is very dubai? >> they didn't have the distinguishing season because sorbent and he'd leave been put up big numbers. those other to their numbers change because of the game changing. if they took said defensive posture. they became a deep team, three lines d, seven players with 20 goals. they don't jump out at you, they chip away at you from different angles and that's the way they won the series. >>gary: incredible game three, the sharks fall behind 4-0, it's all los angeles and then back, the sharks and randy gets off again. >> across the lines, they scored! the san jose sharks win in overtime in one of the most remarkable comebacks in stanley cup playoff history. >>gary: is it going to beat detroit or chicago? >> i hope the chicago, that's a better match up for the sharks because chicago in theory they will be tired. chicago >>gary: has to be vancouver? >> that's tonight. >>gary: you know the great jacqueline bennett, the second-best because randy's wife or burgeroberta is on.
