if the corps decides it needs to spend all that money in the northeast, then, by golly, they can. if they say, we spent all we can spend and now we're spending to spend, allows me to spend someplace else that, frankly, fulfill the old proverb, a haveee in -- a levee in time saves millions of dollars down the line. so if congress is going to pass legislation to provide protection to hurricane devastation, the dollars should be spent on the basis of need and value to taxpayer, not on the basis of geography. i hope you will consider this amendment and give the corps that choice and flexibility. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate the opportunity to be here this anything, and appreciate the opportunity. my amendment number 61 -- i have a few talk to about thissening but 61, ensure maximum transparency in this process in which we'll see billions of taxpayer dollars distributed through fema grant. my amendment would eliminate the $1 million threshold for disclosure in the underlying bill and require disclosure of all grants distributed under people half. let me

awesome advice so women should hide in their homes and if they happen to get themselves raped then by golly they're just trying to make some money that thought is sickening and reflects a culture of social discrimination towards gender and sexuality which in turn creates a lot of us miss and humiliation at the peak of the system is a force of supposed to be bringing justice but instead it's creating an injustice against the women it's supposed to protect and that is why the entire police force of india are today's villains. i want to turn your attention south of the border country with a little more than seven million people over the last couple years has seen the deaths of twenty two journalists a wave of organized crime extortion drug trafficking and political instability since a military coup ousted the country's president two thousand nine hundred was adopted a painful new claim to fame quote murder capital of the world. now while the beaters regard it as a country on the brink of becoming a failed state where those who oppose the country's wealthy oligarchs corrupt politicians and narc

"he's just won the d.f.c.-- the distinguished flying cross." so he kept looking and our eyes kept meeting, and he accompanied me home and he took me to the cinema the next night. well, from then on we were inseparable. is this 1944? yes, it would be about 1944. and he'd had a career before you. he got his d.f.c. he got his d.f.c. what was he? he was the captain of a lancaster bomber. so you may have checked the engine that went into his plane. exactly. what a wonderful thing. he did all his operations in 1943. yeah, so here he is in later life, wearing his medals. so he got his d.f.c. what, as a... he was a pilot o

>> reporter: at one point the live and divide another day you have to dig in your heels and say by golly going to die over this today because it's important to the people of my district and this country. >> are there enough votes in the house to pass this? it will take a combination of democratic and republican votes. if the senate measure does get through the house here is what the plan means. bush era tax cuts would stay in place for individuals earning less than $400,000 and couples earning $45,000. unemployment benefits for 2 million americans would be extended for a year and the alternative minute tax would be permanently adjusted for inflation, but when it comes to spending cuts, lawmakers deferred for two more months, kicking the can down the road as they say, so we can expect more finger pointing, more fighting in 2013. happy new year, everyone. white house correspondent bre a breanianna keilar joins us live from washington. she'll be watching over the next few months and more importantly watching today what is happening. this is not over yet. >> no, and happy new year to you, jo

by golly, i'm not sure what perfect is any more because perfect may not get passed in this house. but the fair and proper way to handle things where the american people have confidence in what we are doing, the markets have confidence in what we are doing, the budget is handled. all these things are placed in a systematic order of an understanding so that our members, the members of this body, can go home and communicate with people. here's what we think is going to happen next. avoiding problems is what speaker boehner and our great majority leader, eric cantor, are trying to do. they are bringing legislation to this floor that adequately begins the process before we get in trouble. five-page bill. ordered up exactly as the doctor would have wanted. in english where you can understand it, where it doesn't take a legal degree or for you to have to be in the house for 30 years to figure out what we are trying to say. what we are trying to say is right here. and that is, if the house and senate work together, we do a budget, we lay out to the american people what we are trying to do

and i suspect this that might well be the group who if they can't get a gun from a dealer, by golly, they are going to go out and get somebody because they are involved in a career. and they're not going to be deterred. i'm going to very briefly mention our findings. current denial criteria don't cover the population. purchasers become prohibited persons frequently enough to matter. background checks work. here's what i think we ought to do, it's mostly been mentioned. we should expand denial criteria to include convictions for violent misdemeanors. we'll make mixed checks better. i'm not going to talk about delayed denials. this i want to take one minute and mention. we need to avoid a problem of false eligibility that is embedded in the current legislation, the fixed gun checks act, that is promoted as a solution for this problem. the fixed gun checks act is described as requiring a background check for every gun purchase. in my judgment, it does not do that. it allows a person to waive the background check and purchase a firearm if they are in one of about 17 states and have a nom

by the capitals this season. the habs have a 2-0 lead. rene bourque racing up the ice, scepters to brian gionta. three guys on one canadian, wide open is gionta. oh, man. golly. the capitalings off to their first 0-3 start after losing 4-1, since the '93-'94 season. listen carefully to the new verbiage used by the new head coach adam oates after this one. >> things aren't going our way. we're a little fragile and gave them a five on three goal. >> pathetic is probably a better term. you know, i feel bad for the fans. i would like to finish a game with at least 50% of the fans still in the stands. we've got to turn something around and got to do it fast. >> troy brower, not a happy camper. not good when your new coach calls you fragile three games into the season. >> you're a hockey player. >> they play again tomorrow night in new jersey. they will have a chance to turn things around hopefully quickly. college hoops now, the 136th meeting between virginia and virginia tech tonight. the hokies have is the nation's leading scorer in eric green. but they may need to great green some help. he went for 345. the rest of the team, 21 points combi combined. the resul
