>> cooper: so, the... i call you joe," which people at the time thought was some sort of strategy, was really just a way for her to be able to say his name without messing it up. >> schmidt: correct. absolutely. >> cooper: but, one "o'biden" did slip out. >> palin: barak obama and senator o'biden, you've said no to everything. >> cooper: still, mccain staffers were delighted. >> schmidt: she did a good job in the debate against senator biden. i think she more than held her own. >> cooper: but schmidt now believes, if palin is the republican presidential candidate in 2012, it will be catastrophic for the party, even though he is one of those most responsible for making her a national figure. for you, picking sarah palin was about winning an election, not necessarily about who's going to be best as vice president? >> schmidt: my job was to give political advice. we needed to do something bold to try to win the race. >> cooper: if you had it to do over again, would you have her on the ticket? >> schmidt: you

-korea cooperation. every issue can and arguably should be examined through the lens of the question, how can we address this shared challenge together? so the joint vision statement could be interpreted to mean that alliance cooperation is relevant to almost anything anywhere. but do both countries really have the capacity to live up to that standard? and is it in their interest to do so? and so i want to highlight some of the aspects related to that. i think it's clear that there's a gap still between the scope of u.s. interest and capabilities and the scope of south korean interest and capabilities. but at the same time, the reason why we are able to do this project is that a korean capabilities have increased. and that there is considerably greater potential for u.s.-korean cooperation than there used to be. so there's new capability in many new areas. so i think that the real importance of the joint vision statement is that it identifies and pledges both sides to work more diligently to realize the

cooperation. we also had papers on naval cooperation between u.s. and south korea and also the topic of peacekeeping. and the career representitive has written a paper on overseas development assistance. and then on non-proliferation corporation. today we will examine three topix together cities pros separate the unique challenges to expand a vision of climate change, a human-rights come and conflict stabilization. to have cooperation on climate change issues should have a basis upon which to judge the extent the alliance is equipped to engage in political and technical cooperation on human security issue the discussion on human-rights as a lens through which to examine front and center whether the joint vision statement means what it says when it talks about common values and but question of post conflict stabilization in afghanistan with the understanding what is really possible to extend the alliance space cooperation in ways that suit our mutual interest. i am grateful to each of our authors t

not cooperation there. and what particularly struck me about the 14th of february, blix report, and this, then had a huge significance in what i tried then to construct as a final way of avoiding the war is on page 26 of his briefing, he deals with the issue of interviews. and he says the -- because he's starting to move on interviews because he's beginning to press on it, they have made a commitment that they'll allow it, but then when he actually comes to the interviews themselves people are very reluctant to do it. >> that is an inherent problem with the regime for the reasons that you have given and we knew that before. >> yes. but it is precisely the reason, therefore, why even if blix had continued the fact is he would never have got the truth out of saddam and the leading people in the regime and the people who did get the truth out of them were the iraq survey group and what they found was that saddam retained -- it is in -- >> well, i think we have the idea, the intent was there, and -- >> and the

-chinese cooperation and are they willing and working with the united states in cooperation vis-a-visealing with these pirates? >> i would -- from the pay-com perspective, we view it as a very positive development. it is a demonstration of the prcs willingness to utilize their military capability in a way that is contributing to other nations, to the international betterment of security in that particular region of the world. they began those operations operating outside of the -- the international regime that was put in place to coordinate the efforts by the many nations that are contributing to the anti-piracy effort. over the years now that this has been occurring, i would offer that the prc has grown closer to those regimes and to the extent that there is a line of communication that has been developed and a level of information sharing that is both contributing to their operations and also contributing to the operations of the combined task force that is engaged in counterpiracy. so to both of your questions, yes, it is positive. and, yes, they have grown closer to cooperating, n

it builds trust, promotes understanding, prevents conflicts and fosters cooperation. and given my own visits to china in recent years, i know how important these relationships are. looking back at u.s.-china security cooperation under the previous administration, there's some positive steps but there is still much progress to be achieved. in the new administrator will continue to face play of challenges, and i remain concerned by trends and ambiguities regarding china's military modernization, including china's missile buildup across from taiwan and a steady increase of china's power projection capabilities. moreover, china's military budget continues a trend of double-digit increases at a time when china provides more and more of the loans that support the american economy. china's transparency on defense issues is still limited, and questions remain regarding china's strategic intentions. this is highlighted just days ago following china's concerning missile intercept event. at the same time, the reduction of tensions across china is a positive element and i hope to

we have contemplated, unprecedented cooperation. it never happened in the history of mankind that all the countries at the same time facing the same problem used the same tools and succeeded. it never happened. good. is it enough for politicians to go ahead? depends on the opinion you have about politicians. i think it's enough, but of course am not sure. and, the way this nation of the world put together to respond to this profound economic and potentially human calamity thus redeeming the promise of international cooperation, all of this in my view is one of the main outcomes of the crisis. the g-20 has emerged and the main body, where this kind of discussion can take place. even there's a lot of discussion about the... who could be in, who could be out, nevertheless, it has worked and what i said before the so-called math, where all the dot will be collected and a simulation made and policy advice given by the imf is, i think, the major tool which has been created to try to make steps forward. it relies a lot on the imf and that'

our cooperation today is focused on denuclearization, but we are also paving the way for cooperationopportunities in northeast asia and the entire pacific region in the years to come. thank you for your time. i look forward to your questions. [applause] >> thank you. the secretary has agreed to take your questions. the floor is open, but please wait for the microphone and please state your name. microphone. >> recently north korea demanded a peace treaty with the united states. before the six-party talks, what is the u.s. position on that? north korea -- i'm sorry. >> let me try to answer your question. i do not want to characterize the north koreans position, i will let them characterized their own position. as i said in my remarks, we believe that there is an appropriate time and place to discuss the issue of how we replace the arms going forward. the first step is to return to the six-party talks. within that framework, we have a clear path forward to discuss the full range of issues, including the potential for peace. as we do so, we will do this in close consultation with our so

what we have in yemen is a friendly government that wants to cooperate. and the reason that general petraeus was there, to try and increase this cooperation. so you'll see more intelligence sharing, maybe some more equipment, potentially even some firepower lent to the fight. but you're not going to see american forces invading yemen, but just trying to beef up their cooperation and support. >> chuck todd, let me turn to you. when the president left on this vacation, it was health care, health care, health care. now terrorism, national security. we've seen a fundamental shift now in the priorities of this administration. >> reporter: well, i think the white house is going to argue a little bit this week that they've always had a priority when it comes to national security. i think you're going to hear them try to tell their story a little bit more when it comes to what they've done, for instance, in yemen. they think it's a pretty good story to tell overall. and you heard john brennan this morning on the sunday shows, in particular "meet the press," begin

they're gonna explore the issue of cooperation. there's no chance of it but let me tell you something, the federal system is based, shep, on cooperation. it is the only way you can move down in terms of what kind of sentence you can get and there's no doubt the government wants to know this individual's connection potentially to al-queda or another terrorism group. so they'll be working on that and his defense attorney no matter what he says in the public will work on his client to see whether he wants to cooperate with the government to somehow potentially reduce his sentence down the road. i think that's the starting point. >> arthur, you cooperate if you're on the other side of that equation? >> as a prosecutor, obviously the value here is getting information. this guy isn't osama bin laden. he's not at the top of the totem pole. they're going to squeeze him as much as they can to get whatever they can out of him and obama's top people have already acknowledged that's their strategy. they've been working with the justice departm

do you think that this issue can add to the cooperation? you talk of the stability, and i would like to -- everybody can answer these two question. first is this. what's the factor in stability of north korea? and then how to deal from people outside north korea. >> i think that's enough questions. >> ok, this is real important. alivense cooperation on north korea and south korea is very important. and how the u.s. and china can help for this alliance cooperation into a reality. and i have another question too later on. >> several issues here. the first is the ozone hole. the ozone is also a greenhouse gas. they're talking about when the ozone or the stress of ozone suspect completed, you cruise down the upper atmosphere, so it's an operative butt the problem is we are talking about the warming of the lower atmosphere as a result of long-wave radiation from the earth. so there's nothing to do with the ozone hole, with the climate change. and yes, industrial production is the major source of carbon emissions, and the people have actually tri

economic cooperation, cooperation in transit trade, fighting terrorism, drugs and weapons smuggling, housing modern security -- these are the elements. afghanistan has participated in many regional cooperation programs and has reiterated its commitment. to cooperate on all these fronts, we are eager to see more tangible results as far as progress in these areas. i believe we have a strong and adequate to regional platform that promotes cooperation among our neighbors. it can be used to establish direct links between key regional forums. this will provide a new window of opportunity for wider cooperation to combat the spread of terrorism and narcotics and promote peace and economic cooperation in the region. we need to see specific measures for its implementation. i am thankful for our brother countries, the republic of turkey, to serve as a location for regional talks. eight years ago, afghanistan and the international committee began their journey to help afghanistan re-establishing itself as a peaceful and contributing member of the community of nations. given the enormous challeng

our increasingly interconnected world require cooperation and integrated solutions. since the committee's last hearing on this topic, we have seen several significant develops. some positive, other troubling. many are documented on military power of the people's republican of china. on one hand we have several positive examples of china's constitution to international peace and stability. we are encouraged for the year-in security council in 1974 to support the nuclearization of the korean peninsula. also they are cooperating in delivering goods to humanity assistance to caster relief. we appreciate the positive experience of our two navies working in concert to combat piracy in the gulf of aden and we're looking forward to building on these experiences. but we have concerns at the pace, scope,s and lack of transparency. the people's liberation army is changes from a man's army on it's own it territory to one developed for winning short duration, high intensity conflicts on it's periphery. they are being prepared to foreign source us and increasingly cable trail base

our cooperation today is focused on denuclearization, but we are also paving the way for cooperation on a broader challenge of the opportunities in northeast asia and the entire pacific region in the years to come. thank you for your time. i look forward to your questions.

let's check in with anderson cooper on duty in port-au-prince. you tweeted today anderson that the camera lens is too small to capture what's going on. can you elaborate? >> it is, larry. let me tell you what the noise is behind me. there's a group of about 100 men chanting and sort of running through the streets. it's the kind of thing you see a lot here in the last 24 hours. people trying to rally their own spirits singing songs, sings psalms, and praying out loud in large groups in the park. that's the noise behind me. it's like a parade-like atmosphere. it's in stark contrast to what we've seen throughout the day. this isn't just some story you go to and package. this is something happening around the clock. this is an event, a historic event that is occurring in realtime 24 hours a day just around the clock. it's a complete -- it's an extraordinary experience just to be here, and i think the camera lens is too small to capture all that's going on. that's why we have correspondence all throughout port-au-prince trying to have as many cameras

. >> stand by, anderson cooper is on the phone. anderson, where are you right now and what are you seeing? unfortunately, i think we lost our connection with anderson cooper. we will reconnect with him. technology is very, very serious problem dealing with haiti right now. it is amazing we are getting through as clearly as we are. karl penhaul is still with us. karl, it is clear that the haitian government is in charge? we know the u.s. military has officially taken charge of the airport. but there is a semblance of the haitian government on top of this? >> reporter: it certainly is not. yes. we have heard comments from the haitian president rene preval. we see in some of the lines principally for gasoline, haitian police standing by, in the streets i have seen one or two haitian police as well. you can't say there is haitian leadership here. you cannot say that haitians are in control. that said, again, going back to past experience, past disasters in haiti, you wouldn't have expected to see haitian leadership there either. they a

anderson cooper. the latest is what i'm told is an incredible survival story. what is this store are? >> yeah, larry a 5-year-old boy found alive today. his name is manly. he is was brought in by his ankle. his uncle was digging through the rubble of the home looking

we'll check in with anderson cooper on the ground in haiti when we come back. i have been congested for the last 10 days and it is so frustrating. (announcer) do you want to give afrin a try? ok. i can breathe through my nose immediately. afrin has made me happy. is that a silly statement? (announcer) afrin. why suffer? and now i know without enough, our bodies can steal it from our bones. only caltrate delivers 1200 mg of calcium and 800 iu of vitamin d, in just two tablets. share some tlc. tender loving caltrate, >> larry: the state department is trying to confirm the number of americans who were killed in the earthquake. they tell us tonight one of their own has died, victoria j. delong, the state department cultural affairs officer in port-au-prince and credit her with advancing the partnership between the united states and haiti and promoting peace. we extend our condolences to her family. let's check in with the yoman like anderson cooper on duty in port-au-prince. you tweeted today, anderson, the camera lens is too small to capture what's really going on

anderson cooper, 10:00 eastern and 7:00 pacific. let's go to new york.on column iist of the daily beast and in boston david gergen, cnn's senior political analyst and former presidential adviser to nixon, ford, reagan and clinton. david has been around many of these states of union. how important are they? how lasting are they? >> what effect do they have? >> first of all, larry, it's hard to bounce off that report from anderson cooper and those pictures from haiti, isn't it? larry, not many have been m memori memorial. occasionally a president can find his footing in trouble. ronald reagan after two years in the white house lost seats in the second year and came back in the next state of the union and gave a strong rallying cry. it really helped his presidency he. bill clinton did the same thing after his first two years in office. there are times. i think this is for this president this has to be a moment when he relaunches his presidency. clearly the cnn polls that are out today show we're a very divided country right now. a lot of that glow is gone.

anderson cooper, have you seen any evidence of that the all in your reporting? >> we've looked into it. we were given a heads up on two allegations, two stories that were floating around. unicef kind of turned us onto them. we investigated both of them. we did not get any evidence of any kind of trafficking in those two incidents. we've certainly talked to unicef and save the children who say they are certainly on the lookout. a lot of these organizations want to start tracking, get their hands around how many orphans there really are, who really is an orphan, who has family members they're separated from and want to take care of them. in have in sri lanka, there was certainly a concern about that. but kids are often sold off or given to poor families or other families living in the city, and those kids will grow up as domestic servants working for a family. so that's something that's a form of trafficking which happens right here in haiti and happened long before the earthquake. >> larry: lisa, how does trafficking work? give us the mode us op -- mo. what happe

anderson cooper have you seen evidence of this in your report

anderson cooper top of the hour. dan lothian is our cnn correspondent, andita mcbride is in washington, and laura schwartz in chicago served assist the director of events in the white house social office in the clinton administration. you want to get us up to date on the new crash story? >> we got the statement from the secret service this morning. a third individual managed to make his way into the white house here to that state dinner in november. this person, according to the secret service, went to a local hotel where the indian delegation was meeting, and then hopped in a vehicle there and came into the white house. now, the secret service says that they did go through that -- that individual went through a security screening and they don't believe at any time ha individual he got into the receiving line or had a chance to meet the president or the first lady. it's under investigation, and clearly another embarrassing situation here for this white house, which we're talking about security issues, national securi

in southeast asia, close cooperation with partners in their region, especially indonesia, has resulted in the arrest and deaths of hundreds of operatives. and what's capabilities have been badly damaged, this

where did you have the cooperation supporting you are helping umar and it always came back to the with the south vietnamese district chief or what have you come so i think it is critical there. in terms of the larger strategic intelligence, are you talking about in terms of understanding culture or in a country? >> , charrie really putting our efforts into doing the intelligence? >> i think, i think we are doing what needs to be done and i think as i mentioned battlefield circulation with commanders is a big part of this because if you have someone like general mcchrystal who is going out and talking to people in the field, he tends to learn more that way then if he sits back in his headquarters like general sanchez did for example in iraq. i mean, certainly there's a lot of other intelligence stuff out there that we don't know about but i think if he were looking at the intelligence that is going to be used to make a decision on whether to commit more troops, i think we have probably got a pretty good handle at the higher levels because of the fact we have got commanders there who are

because the benefits of a water -- cooperated testimony our benefit -- are many.cases can be made quickly and efficiently. call operators are most often insiders who had been -- cooperators are most often insiders to have seen this. their testimony is irrefutable. more wrongdoers can be brought to justice to the increased efficiency of cases and investigations that include coal operator testimony. and finally, cooperating witness can be the master key that unlocks the intricacies involving complex transitions that unwise -- that otherwise go undetected. . >> here, too, it would only be if they did it truthfully in connection with an investigation and to comply. with these new tools, a real reality for wrongdoers. that reality is that when you engage in misconduct, you now have to think even harder about the possibility of others coming forward to report to the s e c your secret conversations, your hushed plants, and your schemes and deceptions, and for those thinking about cooperating, they should consider seriously about coming to the s.c.c. correctly -- quickly

attorney general put out a statement about stanley cooper killed today. i should note in 2009 four las vegas police officers were killed in all kinds of separate incidents. this is a community that has experienced the loss of life among a locality of law enforcement officers just in the last year, larry. >> larry: this shoot-out erupted at the start of the workday and lasted several minutes. here's more of the video you saw ft opening shot today posting on youtube. listen. >> shooting inside the las vegas courthouse. holy [ bleep ]. unbelievable. hell of a morning for jury duty. [ gunshots ] >> larry: the man that recorded the sound of that gunfire is with us on the phone. nick, when did you know something was wrong? what were you doing? >> it was actually just leaving the court house, larry. >> larry: you had business in the court house and you were leaving. what was the first thing you spotted? >> first thing i had spotted was the eruption of gunfire. that's when i initially realized something was not right. >> larry: were you scared? >> you know, i can

but we have ratcheted up our cooperative arrangement with a very weak yemeni government. i tried to go to yemen also in november. but because my itinerary changed at the last minute, they did not welcome the visit of me and several other members of congress. i'm glad that peter got to see it. peter and i have traveled to all the garden spots like the tribal areas of pakistan and syria and i think he was on the north korea trip and libya over the year years. it is impressive to see what our intelligence community and the cia does abroad. i want to extend my condolences to the families of the seven cia agents who were blown up by a suicide bomber in east afghanistan. but let me say about yemen, i agree that -- as i put it, yemen is the new fatah, the new -- another new dangerous ungoverned area for al qaeda and other terror groups. that does not mean all our attention has to be focused there, because al qaeda is a global threat. it is a different threat from 9/11. it is not a top-down organization anymore. we have decapitated a lot of its top leadership. but it is equally d

the international cooperation aspect is the most important.rove the situation? >> doubtless there are, and i recognize my right honorable friends expertise in this matter. i said in relation to the watch list, we think this integrated watch list so that there's not a separate -- in some countries there is a separate one for security and for policing in crime, and for those who lost their passports and immigration issues, and integrate the watch list and with e-borders continually coming onstream, we can deal with this that has taken off. given that addulmutallab was not tried to enter the country but blow himself up before it landed, and that does not matter if this -- and it does not matter what country was his destination. i would be the last person to appear complacent about this. at the prime minister said, this is a wake-up call. every attempt must be picked to pieces of that we can find anything we can to strengthen our defenses and that is what we intend to do. >> mr. taylor. >> does the home secretary realize that scanners cover all wh

they were very cooperative.ost: the first volume dates back to the beginning of the federal reserve and you wrote in one of the books that the federal reserve has not been marked by controversy in its 90- year history. there have not been any significant of leaks or ethical stance -- scandals. why is that? guest: it has a high this breed accord -- espirit de corps. there were michael -- minor scandals, people leaking information, but even that has been relatively small thing. it has just been a very good organization. it is considered to have the best professional economic step in the country, if not in the world. host: that is part of what "the new york times" writes about today. it talks about, who serves within the federal reserve. it is an echo chamber within the federal reserve. that is why it was difficult for federal reserve chairman ben bernanke when he served under the former federal reserve alan greenspan, for them to see the housing bubble happen. what is your take on that? guest: i don't agree with t

that's a cooperative

opti-- nap [olitano for her cooperation. the review had three primary goals -- to get the facts, to find out what happened, to identify the failures and shortcomings of what went wrong. to make recommendations on corrective actions we could fix the problem and i want to address each of these areas. first the fact -- various components of the intelligence community had fragments of information about the strategic threats posed by al qaeda. it was known thatagap sought -- aqap sought to strike targets. there was a threat stream of intelligence on this threat. it was known, thanks to the awarding of his father in november, that had joined extremists. we have fragments of intelligence that were available in the intelligence committee on christmas eve before umar ever boarded an airplane. given the fragments of intelligence, why weren't they increase -- integrated in peace together in a way that would have uncovered and disrupted the plot. what went wrong? as the president described, this was not the failure of a single individua

there are credit unions in the united states that is a cooperative structure.the application of law and regulatory oversight. if you look at low-income communities, the credit unions say they did not vary too much malfeasance lending. they didn't do much lending to begin with. they were created on the basis of serving people with modest means. they are on capitol hill right now pushing to create a line of credit available to the credit union industry. forget the corporate membership model. they are trying to put themselves in the position of having access to the fed window. they want a line of credit that they can use to compete for the with the banks without having an obligation to serve low-income community. they don't even want to pay corporate taxes. that is an extra benefit that credit unions get. i went off on a tender but i think it is more relevant to the point you're making. >> we have time for about one more question any more questions or comments from the audience? charlie,zÑ do we have closing comments from ralph nader? i want to thank my last and a

with a new cooperation statement. and i think it's taking shape, and evermore so. and this is demonstrated by a meeting today with our american friended. we will only be able to combat terrorism if we act together. >> i'd just like to tell you a little bit about the work that the european commission is doing. we're going to speed up the protection of our report on good use -- proper use of technologies in particular, body scanners. however, the fight has to kick in at various levels. i heard some urgent appeals at various levels. several ministers said we should be thinking in terms after fresh proposals on european pnr system. we did come up with some stumbling blocks earlier on the part of some members states which was originally submitted in 2007. now we have a new frame work upon which to work. we have a treaty, we have qualified majority voting, we have co-decision procedure with the european policy. with the new backdrop, we're going to take up a new proposal on the prn data. we believe that many ministers are very keen to support this new european prn system

debt he stopped cooperating once he had his miranda rights read to him. and once he had advisers to get him to seize answering questions. i have a different view from my friend from missouri, but i wanted to establish this on this man being a precedent. this is to clarify the record. he talked about a significant number of individuals and able to travel to our country because they are on the no fly lists as i understand it very few of those 400,000 would have been valid, kermit, visas. is that correct? >> that is correct but approximately 2% are in u.s. positions. there are a significant number that can come into the united states without a visa. >> that is an excellent point and it is of great concern to us for some time particularly when we are looking at individuals in great britain who may have dual citizenship in pakistan and england and maybe using one passport to travel to pakistan and their british passport to travel to our country. i realize it is an issue for another day but if it's of great concern. we have to -- >> we have to learn the lessons

cooperation in standing up postal ban government in afghanistan.ush administration ultimately walked way from that cooperation but iran was prepareed the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks to cooperate and help the united states in fighting al qaeda and i think that's just one example of an issue where the united states will not be able to achieve it's goals unless we develop a more constructive relationship with iran. host: our guest is flynt leverett. you can log on-line for more information at new america dot  net. a link available to c-span dot o'n org. texas call. caller: good morning. i got four sons. and three different universities and one in junior college. if i had a professional i would pull them out. they walk around like a sack over their head like nothing going to happen to this country. that's like having a bandit outside your house and opening the door. i don't know why everyone is so against israel. the only way is to get independent on oil in our own country that will hurt those countries. that's all i got to say. guest: um... you kno

there is a desire on the part of the department to cooperate.this is an important inquiry, that you all are about. it is important for our nation going forward, it is important for historical purposes, for us to understand why we are in the present situation that we have to confront. the only concern i have, are the rules and regulations that govern the dissemination of information that the department of justice accumulates, and to the extent that we can work our way through those, we will get the information to you. it is our strong desire to cooperate with you in the effort that you are about. it is an important one. it is a vitally important one. the information that you develop, the reports that i issue will help us in our ongoing enforcement activities, so we want to cooperate with you. >> elevated to most probably. >> thank you very much. >> that's before i get to yes. >> all right. let's now -- >> thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> now, i have a couple of minutes, i'm going to take right now, and then the vice chairman probably

that diversity demands a true commitment to cooperation. i think of marriage, and i remember the passage about the husbands and wives in marriage when he called on the mutual respect to put away focus on themselves and submit to one another for the common good, and those truths of application far beyond marriage. the people who send us here expect us to work together for the good of the great state of georgia. georgians did not elect us to watch a rugby match. when we do not work together, when it gets so much the people cannot even distinguish which team we are on, and it means we all come out with mud on our faces. the folks at home have entrusted us to put principle and progress over partisanship, and they have asked us to do the hard thing now. that means drilling down every area of government to redefine our commitments going forward. we have to take this mindset and apply it to every corner of state governments. for too long, the answer has been to preserve the status quo, but prevailing winds have often next -- forced us to except wa

we also increased partnerships and cooperative efforts. the challenge grants are good examples of these efforts. local people make local decisions on how to use the grants to promote tourism in their own communities. in aberdeen, marketing promotions work done for the brown county fair, the great aberdeen payout, and the northeast celtic fair and games. rapid city promoted summer nights, the black hills' stock show and rodeo, and the pumpkin festival. sioux falls promoted the 2010 summit league tournament. mitchell marketed their gateway to the west fest. watertown promoted city monopoly and geo-caching. mccaskill used their grant to attract more anglers to the south dakota walleye classic festival. this might promote their destination moreh campaign, and vermilion used their grant to promote their ribs, rods and rock and roll festival. in the outdoors, the department of game, fish and parks have substantially increased opportunities for hunting, fishing and family vacations. we have 1.2 million acres of what in areas for hunting -- 40% mo

he cooperated with us. for both video and for sound and identified over the course of several months 50 true owners, but the individuals who came in and set they need purchase orders for a company. here is $3,000, give me receipts for $30,000 worth of equipment. that led to over 50 indictments. what was unique about that is we were able to identify the true owners. you'll hear more about that, i am sure. the last one i will talk to about, which is unfortunately more common than we would like, is individuals working in some of the banks in south florida. the money goes into these bank accounts and what happens this, if accounts are frozen by the banks because of suspicious activity or because bank officials know is fraud, we have had a number of instances where these bank account owners would come into the bank an attempt to private bank officials to have those accounts unfrozen or the money is released. working with one of the banks in south florida, we saw a real pattern and got a lot of information that t
