i think dodd-frank will actually do them a good service by enforcing a clearinghouse, central clearinghouseg to benefit from that. >> the i.c.e. who our viewers know pretty well probably don't know they could benefit from dodd-frank. >> definitely. i think the company is very profitable because it is not a brick and mortar bank. it is very similar to a technology company. their operating costs have held in check. >> okay. quickly home depot, u.p.s., coca-cola, you invest in all three of the biggies here in atlanta. >> of course. i can't say anything bad about home depot right now. they've been on a roll. i think they have very good management ript nght now. previous management made some big mistakes but i think blake has done a great job and getting merchandising in order. they closed their big box stores in klein which i think was a good idea. i like management more now and the stock has done really well. they've beat their numbers the past six to eight quarters. >> ted parish, thanks for coming on our recovery road trip. let's get a "market flash." >>> brian, we're catching shares of timk

none of these are national clearinghouses, none of these are comprehensive. so you have to search multiple ones, and you have to vary your criteria multiple times. for instance, if you're interested in physics, you might turn up a scholarship for physicists. but that doesn't mean you going to also be matched with a general scholarship for scientists. > > when should parents start this process? > > seventh and eighth grade. because there's actually learning programs that have scholarship money attached. for instance, toshiba has a scholarship for grades k-12. that being said, it's never too late. certainly junior and senior year is prime time to do this in high school. but also college, graduate school, and even adults going back to school. for instance, talbot's, the women's clothing store, has scholarships for women who have been out of school for at least 10 years who want to go back. so the key is, start now, start right away, wherever you are. > > are you looking for full- ride scholarships, or are you just sort of cobbling together a collection of schola

. >>> calvin welch, san francisco information clearinghouse. i'm of the old school of affordable housing advocacy. i'm not nice. going from 17 million to 9.8 million is simply silly policy. if you can't trust the city, when is a deal a deal? this came before this board because of parcel f. parcel f is being sold at less than market rate with no objection to a market rate developer with no objection from advocates when it involves market rate housing development. but when it involves repaying affordable housing development, we're told there's major problems with proposition i. proposition i wasn't cited when the city didn't have enough money to make the improvements, came to the redevelopment agency, took $17 million of affordable housing money to principally benefit the existing residents of that part of the world. all power to them. when is a deal a deal? you are currently contemplating a new transportation sustainability fee which contemplates charging a fee for affordable housing development. folks, this is not good policy, to pit affordable

as a kind of clearinghouse.

publishers clearinghouse sold you down the river a long time ago. so they've built profiles on us. now they're just actually targeting us even more. >> it seems like everybody talks a lot about social media and how does that influence voter behavior, but this really seems like this is where the money's at for campaigns. my facebook page is probably made up of people sort of like me. and you're kind of preaching to the choir in a way. this lets them come in and really target individual people in this household. >> in fact, you can have two people in the same house see different kinds of advertising. that was never possible with tv. you'd have to buy 50 tv ads and you never knew -- >> do they see it on the computers? >> if you're online and you've created a digital profile of yourself, they're going to target that profile, like we split those two things out and say, i just want to reach this person. there is a massive facebook effect. in the last election, facebook was able to turn out an extra 340,000 people to the polls. this time facebook figured out one in five people responded a

the niche market in the united states and made it one of the most important global markets. 10 clearinghouses around the world. that is the facts. those are very straightforward and he is a track record to be proud of. the market he is built, however, is the reason why we've asked them to be here today. the nasdaq stock market list 3200 companies around the world. its great strength is to list the world's most important technology companies and almost all the important technology companies in modern america as we started on the nasdaq stock market. all of them. during a business career, nasdaq has been a venue for successful comedian growing company to get the cap will to continue its growth. this is the point i want to emphasize. we know that -- we say that anyone contends you said that small come any create other jobs in america. that's only half true. it is small, growing companies decretal for jobs in america. they start a small become google. they stuck a small become federal express. they start out small become places like the nasdaq. those companies go disproportionately to the nasdaq

its 12 regional banks are clearinghouses for commercial banks.his is one of the vaults associated with the reserve bank in new york. robots carry cash in the vault that is as big as a football field and four stories high. each pallet loaded with $100 bills is worth $64 million. the fed has 22,000 employees. it clears your checks and your atm withdrawals and provides economic forecasts. but one of its most important responsibilities is regulating the nation's biggest banks, to be the watchdog. you're supposed to keep them out of trouble, so how did all this happen? >> well, a lot of mistakes got made, no question about it, but, you know, this was a much bigger thing than any single firm or any single individual. over the last dozen years or so, enormous amounts of savings has flowed into the united states and some other industrial countries. that savings has come from china and east asia. it's come from oil producers. and it has--hundreds of billions of dollars has come into our financial system. and, you know, that would be great if we took that

this narrative that everyone wanted freebies and the implication -- >> like in the publishers clearinghouse>> right. i'm waiting for my gift. a big part is perhaps your african-americans and latinos want something for free. we don't want something for free. we want to contribute to this country. we want to engage with government. it's so very disrespectful and insulting to the la tonos, for example, in florida who waited for hours to vote. for the people in arizona who waited in the hot sun to vote. and especially considering mitt romney's own father was on welfare for over a year. >> mark, you have to look at the facts of the case. you and the first read team pointed out and we saw it in the exit polling. iowa and wisconsin, to name two, white, older states. so what gifts were those people given, if mitt romney's theory is correct? you also got your hands on information from the rnc on at least how they process the loss. >> right, tamron. look at iowa and new hampshire, and that proves these are states that are older states, much whiter states. president obama still won them. the biggest f

i used to do advertising for publisher's clearinghouse.that got the $25 million prize, which is still a lot of money, destroyed their lives. they quit their jobs. >> donny, there are a lot of people out there that would like to experience that. >> just give me the moment. >> donny is right. the whole thing of being removed from the people who you've lived with, who are your friends, neighborhood, your community, that amount of money takes you out of that. >> people i don't know who call themselves relatives calling me up saying, hey, can you help a brother out. >> notice how rattner and doich sort of poo-poo the lottery. for them, $500 million. >>> let's get to the fiscal cliff. politico has an exclusive report that president obama and house speaker boehner had a television conversation. politico characterizes it as, quote, kurt. he wants the white house to move his position on tax rates, but the president won't budge. the president responded to the house speaker according to politico telling him, if he has an alternative plan he ought to

would it be better to get one central clearinghouse and get it all out there. >> if i was a member of congress i'd want to talk to them separately. did we get the truth from the beginning, have we got even the truth up to this point. tomorrow, general petraeus will testify. he's no longer a member of the administration. is he cooperating, is he coordinating his talk with the administration? that will also be very interesting. jon: that testimony to be kept secret, obviously. i want to turn your attention to what is going on in israel. israel is on the brink of war really in gaza, as hamas as launched another round of rocket attacks, three israelis were killed this morning. prime minister benjamin netanyahu out with a warning for those militants, listen. >> in the past 24 hours, israel has made it clear that it will not tolerate rocket and missile attacks on its civilians. i hope that hamas and the other terror organizations in gaza got the message. if not israel is prepared to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people. jon: how tense is it? >> very tense. it's escalated s

eac that i think is relevant to the discussion that we're having today and that is as a national clearinghousehings we've been talking about are the long lines in new york because of the voting machines breaking down. those voting machines broke down in california, the same optical scanners, and had there been some way of a federal agency allowing for people to disseminate information to show what other vendors and what other election officials are experiencing, we could have election workers that are better trained to be able to fix the problems. >> the election commission is for commissioners. it has zero commissioners working. >> exactly. it can't defined anything. >> how are we going to fix this? that's going to happen right after this break? a winter wonderland doesn't just happen. it takes some doing. some coordinating. and a trip to the one place with the new ideas that help us pull it all together. from the things that hang and shine... ...to the things that sparkle and jingle. all while saving the things that go in our wallet. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depo

it is something that has -- united both fox news and information clearinghouses far to the right andavid petraeus' paramour, miss broadwell saying in a speech that's been heavily televised -- this is -- i think what helped bring the general down as c.i.a. director is that she seems to have intel that there was a prison the premises in benghazi or nearby and that that was one of the factors explaining the 9-11 attack, that they were trying to get the release of these prisoners and break out of prison. when i first heard this, i was pretty shocked because if there was a prison that the c.i.a. had in libya we're talking about a bush and cheney era black sight that the obama administration would be protecting. this, to me, seems like it is potentially a huge story but i notice the mainstream media seems loath to cover it. do you have any thoughts on this? it is still in the rumor phase. the fact is it is the biographer that wound up being petraeus' paramour saying it makes it crazy on 25 different levels. >> this entire story. you need like eight different flowcharts or web charts to exp

future industry that a customer suffered a loss due to the mishandling of customer funds paid clearinghousefor a futures exchange. these customers deserve to know how and why they are money went missing. of the two letters i had covered these are people saying what happened? all americans deserve to know that regulators and policymakers must be held accountable to prevent similar losses from ever occurring again. when financial reform was debated two years ago, republicans suggested consolidating a number of regulators said that one regulator would be responsible when we had a failure like this. not several regulators all pointing their fingers at each other. instead, doc frank inseminated one regulator, kept all the others and added three more. despite the promise of doc frank that regulators would work together, what the subcommittee investigation found is there is no meaningful coordination among federal regulators all responsible for a piece of the pie. and who were responsible for the supervision. they were responsible for seeing customer money with segregated and was not lost or mispl
