there was a challenge involved you have to make up the names for characters and charles dickens was pretty good. [laughter] but chinese names are complex. who can recite the full name of the blind activist seeking refuge? but even end over there using the initials it looks like kfc and looks like they are promoting pride chicken. i thought i had pressed me -- keep the names memorable. so it occurred to me that all of the names are variations of the musical scale. [laughter] i once had a character named tofu pro this was a talented. i came across but it is less risky. [laughter] your henry kissinger you can just call your book on china. they will buy it. [laughter] but this term as but term called that means roughly the art of understanding the masters in flocks. shi happens. and there is a lot y / we've been there? there would tell you more but then what incentive would you have? also to mention the new study that just came out to mr. delaware, very scientific that shows people who pay full retail price. [laughter] he was very sad to evict and conducted by the authors guild. i believe to e

moment i expect-- okay, and the book is just in, the book, it's a tale of two cities, classic charles dickens the story, folks. i've got it right here. here we go. it was the best of times-- there you have it, folks, breaking news from page 1. it was the best of times. now while we don't have all the information, there is clearly joy in one of these two cities. we don't know which two cities, could be minneapolis, st. paul, we're checking on that. once again our top story tonight, times are best, but could they get better under a romney presidency? we'll have more with our panel later. once again, the details are still emerging but all we know for sure right now is that it was the best of times. it was the worst-- oh. i have not been that embarrassed since i endorsed leo tolstoy's epic novel "war" of course, folks, the most shocking aspect of all of this is who stabbed us in the back. then provided coverage for our stab hole. jim. >> the president's health care law t lives on thanks in large part to the chief justice of the supreme court john roberts. >> it was really the chief justice john r

it includes copies of presidential inaugural addresses, letters written by isaac newton and charles dickens. >> we want to bring a breaking news from harvard county. deputies are investigating a shooting in edgewood. just after 10:00 tonight, deputies found a man in the 1700 block of downtown rock way with at least one gunshot. he was brought to shock trauma and we are awaiting an update on his condition. there is no word on a suspect or possible motive. in anne arundel county, firefighters battled a blaze in hanover. it happened just before 5:00. the crew for met with heavy claims on the scene. it took about 20 minutes to get the fire under control. one person was transported from the scene of that blaze for a medical problem unrelated to this fire. tonight, an update on the deadly accident in harford county involving a motorcycle and a county owned dump truck. the victim has been identified as 24-year-old samuel agostini. according to witnesses, the motorcycle had been traveling at a high rate of speed and was seen crossing the double yellow lines. baltimore county police said the man on

if you read charles dickens pick wick papers, i'm not certain where it started but i thoughts it was a great picture. we're going to start with two quotes, the first is like nathan smith davis. who is nathan smith davis? he was a very important man. sometimes the passage of time is like a big eraser, it just erases things, and in this particular case, he probably had been erased because of the passage of time and the in fact that he was prominent but did not write all that much. but nathan smith was a two-term president of the american medical association and founded the journal of the american medical association. he was a very astute individual of the american medical seecene. he wrote the great -- subsequently without harming of actions and true digging into professional character. key words professional character. what do we mean by profession? what are we talk about as medicine exists today? well, how do we define a confession? a confession back then is mostly ministry and law and medicine, those were professions, a profession is a group of people who have specialized education

want to quote, since i see my time is expiring, against my will, i would just like to quote from charles dickens. i think that's appropriate, given our first panel. the theme of david copperfield focuses on orphans, women and the mentally disabled to show that exploitation, not pity or compassion, is the rule of an industrial society. so when we look at the tax benefits, just because our benefits are not high enough to make more pay, i would submit that people don't work just for their self-esteem or dignity. they need to make enough money to be able to pay the rent, put a barbie doll under the christmas tree at christmas. in my case, and i'm happy to share details of that, my daughter had her first asthma attack at 4 days old. i could not afford to have a job that would have separated me from the medicaid benefits. i once had a job and begged my supervisor not to give me a 50 cent raise less i lose my daycare. i worked 80 miles away and as a person who survived childhood rape, i knew how important it was to have reliable daycare. so if we want to encourage work, things like providing child care

when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water come

charles dickens during his tour of america in 1842 described the yard or area demarcated for enslaved people at a hotel many historians believe is the national. the hotel in which we live is a long row of houses fronting on the street, opening at the back upon a common yard in which hangs a gray triangle. whenever a servant is wanted, someone beats on this triangle from one stroke up to seven according to the number of the house in which his presence in required. as all the servants are always being wanted and none of them ever come, this enlivening engine is in full performance the whole day through. clothes are drying in the same yard. female slaves with cotton handkerchiefs twisted around their heads are running to and fro in hotel business. black waiters cross and recross with dishes in their hands. this hotel seems to function as a large-scale version of an urban plantation. for instance, it seems that john gadsby had his own personal household and the rest of the staff at his hotel could be bought and sold at will. the plantation enterprise, coupled with the boom in slave tradin

if you write novels, you have to make up the names for characters, and charles dickens was pretty good at it. but chinese names are complex. i mean, who here can recite the full name of the blind activist who was seeking refuge in the u.s. embassy in china? chen guangcheng. but even over there now when they're pulling up the posters, they've shortened it to cgc which looks like kfc. it looks like they're promoting fried chicken. [laughter] so anyway, i thought as, i thought i had best keep the names of the characters, you know, memorable to a western ear, and so i named the president of china president fa, and then the evil head of the secret police was minister lo. and as i added characters, it occurred to me that all of their names were variations on do re mi, fa. i think at one point i actually had a character named tofu. [laughter] so this was a bit of a challenge. a couple of riffs about sun xiu. there are a lot of sun xiu quotes, and they are included at no extra charge. [laughter] i came across a fascinating term, actually, in a book by henry kissinger who for his book on china

to quote, since to see my time is expiring against my will here, i'd like to just quote from charles dickens i think that is appropriate given our first panel, spark notes quote on dickens. the team of david copperfield focuses on orphans, women and the mentally disabled to show that exploitation, not pity or compassion is the relevant name astro society. so when we look at the tax benefit, the marginal tax rates that people experience, just because their benefits are not high enough to make her pay, i would submit to know it forged period. i submit people were not just for their self-esteem or dignity. they need to make enough money to go to pay the rent in at a barbie doll under the christmas to you at christmas. in my case and i'm happy to share details of you is that my daughter had her first asthma attack at age four days old. i could not afford to have a job that would've separated me from the medicaid benefit that we had. i once had a job and make my supervisor not to give me a 50 cents hour raced with a loose title 20 daycare. i worked 80 miles away from my children and is a person w

republicans to transport our country's environmental and public health standards back to the era of charles dickens, we should be holding them to higher expectations for the 21st century for the public health and well-being of our people. i urge a no vote on this preposterous republican initiative. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from west virginia is recognized. mr. mckinley: mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to my colleague, mr. renacci, from the great state of ohio. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. renacci: to classify coal ash as a hazardous material is another example of this administration's continual attack on coal and the affordable domestic energy it generates. the production and use of coal ash has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry, supporting thousands of jobs in my home state of ohio. coal ash is used in more than 75% of the concrete primarily because of its cost-effectiveness. eliminating it would force concrete producers to use expensive alternatives, driving up the cost of building roads and bridges in america
