it was also a first in goal for jamie donaldson he's won the arash open for his first title on the european tour that welshman finally getting a victory on his two hundred fifty fifth attempt and he did it in style too good on the fairways and he was also pretty good on the greens to hitting five birdies on the last seven holes including one at the last to win by four shots from a chasing pack of four the thirty six year old obviously delighted with his maiden win and of course the winners check just over four hundred thousand dollars. it's not really so it could be i don't think it was played very well where you know i didn't really look at many leaderboards today so that you're down except to try to get good shots in every every hole in. the leaderboard which is just incredible now russia have claimed another birth at the upcoming london olympics this time the men's beach volleyball team qualified with a two know when i have a poland the two russian tandem teams convincingly coming through the group stages of the world limping qualifying tournament before dispatching the poles in the fina

debt until the entire financial impact is able to be quantified and we're not there yet says john donaldson director of fixed income at haverford trust so here you go until they all come clean at penn state until we know the full extent of the complicity of the mind set at penn state how much involvement was there until that is known the bondholders will not return and we see that across europe by the way because people understand that it is a mindset where we see from the library or to the hiding of the greek debt that their mindset is to hide all the bad stories all the bad information that the gruesomeness of the financial system from most of the investing class supporting the penn state football program is the bond market the bond market is rated by rating agencies and the bond market is tied to live war and they discovered over penn state that based on sexual predators and the the skullduggery of jerry sandusky that they're going to downgrade and remove their support from the bond market so again i ask you why doesn't moody's downgrade j.p. morgan's debt to junk status based on jamie d

donaldson, giving him precedence over don carlos buehl, also henrik howlick, the superior of both of them, wanted to rank grant but lincoln recognized grant, and then he stuck with grant through thick and thin, over the next two years, when he came under a great deal of pressure, both political and military, on more than one occasion, to get rid of grant, but he saw something in grant, he stuck with him, he promoted him, and of course, i think that in the end turns out to be one of the most decisive factors in the ultimate outcome of the war. >> and saw something in grant without meeting him, which is extra ordinary. >> yes, didn't meet him until -- >> -- promoted him to lieutenant general. >> that's right. >> the other thing about lincoln, i think the one thing worth adding is that lincoln's responsibilities were further complicated by the fact that he was living within a political culture, not just a military culture. he had to appoint democrats, let them raise regiments, and had the issue of creating ethnic units as well, and commissioning german officers like the great alexander

henry and donaldson. that comes after the fall of new orleans, which isn't actually talked about in any of your readings but is also important. you probably remember that from hh1 before. lee turns the tide. and he wins those very large and important victories, all right. now, why is lee also criticized for his aggressiveness though? mr. rau? >> he lost very early. >> yes. mr. mcdaniels. >> wasn't really the type of war that the confederacy could afford to fight. >> exactly. mr. connors, you want to get in there? >> no, sir. >> all right. explain. >> a lot of the historians -- was it shelby foote was saying he theorizes that the confederacy should have fought a guerrilla war campaign similar to what they did in the american revolution. >> not necessarily foote, but there are a lot of arguments that lee should have engaged in something like partisan operations. it's not just guerrilla operations. everyone acknowledges that a confederacy really needed a conventional army. but what relative of robert e. lee

what happens after things like donaldson, henry, vicksburg? you lose an entire army so that's one of gallagher's arguments against this, the stuff doesn't actually work because -- mr. conners? >> i'm going to say i think there's definitely something to do with the opposing generals. he -- >> explain. >> he has a really good read on people like mcclelland or even burnside. burnside has this problem where he'll freeze up when he's given too much. it's shown -- kind of burnside -- it takes him a long time to get across that bridge. burnside can be taken advantage of and exploited as can mcclelland obviously. mcclelland will break if pushed right, but he doesn't get that good a read when it comes to grant. >> yes, i think and while -- also what should be added good read on the army of the potomac. there's something deeply wrong about the army of the potomac. i don't know if historians have done a great job -- even bruce cannon talks about this. they fight really hard, its rank and file are pretty effective but its generals -- kind of an organizati

and we have politics and donaldson will get to god and partisanship and polarization in real issues that will determine the future of this kind tree, but you must never forget that there is that goodness out there, that we are generous people, debbie gave with no expectation of return often. and while they do that, we are at our best. weather was raising the bar in with your neighbors in the early years, or writing letters to kids with cancer today. i know guys after i got about 20 shows he said what you going to do when you run out of people like this? i said you don't get it. it's america. i'm never going to run out of people like this. so that is really why -- that was the impetus to write about. now what the expiration? the inspiration comes from the title, comes from abraham lincoln's second state of the union message. it's 1861. the war's been going on about here. it's not going well for the north. months away from the emancipation proclamation family can sense his address to congress. i mean, one of the great address as in american history, full of so much create status. the two o

doug donaldson the contributor to the saturday evening post and writes about the new american super familyition. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. great to be here. >> in the author you quote john graham as saying we had a 50 year skpirmt of thinking of families as two parents and two kids. what's happening right now is that the 50-year nuclear family experiment is ending. so doug, is the end of that experiment ultimately a good thing or a bad thing? >> i think it's a good thing. families have been able to reconnect. you've got grandparents moving in and making connections with children. you've got 20 somethings able to save up and move out on their own and be financially responsible. >> doug, another sort of aspect of this trend you mentioned here, in a few years from now you'll have the reverse. it's not going to be kids moving back with their parents. it's the parents, boomers who reach for retirement age moving in with their kids. i guess what i wonder, there's such an economic aspect to kids moving in with parents now, what if those kids don't have houses for parents to

. >> blood and honor was an organization that was created by the late ian steward donaldson, the lead singer of screwdriver. it was a skinhead organization in the late '70s, early '80s. in the '90s, it split into two different factions. the blood and honor i belonged to was combat 18. or c-18. the 18 stands for 1 and 8 for the letter a and h for adolf hitler. >> is that good? >> when i saw pierson born, i saw god that day. that was one of the strangest, greatest feelings that i'll probably never feel again. you know the first time you ever hold a baby with that kind of love is amazing, it's truly amazing. and it's really hard to put it into words. he's -- every breath i take is for him. i just want to do everything for him. give him everything i never had. >> i used to carry a straight razor. and i would use it to -- in bar fights and whatnot. i kind of put it on my face as more of a trademark and also a warning to people. just basically leave me alone or i'll cut you. >> how is carrying a straight razor different from some of your other crew members? >> a lot of them carry brass knuc

and you'll remember, carol, sam donaldson shouting questions at ronald reagan right in front of the white house and ronald reagan would hold his hand up to his ear and act as if he couldn't hear what he was asking. so there areifferent ways to handle questions like this from the press. they're going to happen. to have an event and expect the media not to ask you questions is sort of unrealistic. and to take a traveling press corps overseas for seven days and visit three countries and only put the candidate out for three questions, i think it's really just, you know, really no surprise that the press tried their best to get a question to him today. they tried. it didn't work out. and at the same time, i think it should also be noted that this press de in what he said to us was really inexcusable. and he knows that. and that's why he called a couple of the reporters who were there today and apologized. so we're hoping to move on. these things happen. they happened out on the campaign trail. people get tired. they get testy. but you have to keep your cool at the same time. >> jim acosta repo

conversation earlier maybe remember ronald reagan and the way he use today pretend he couldn't hear sam donaldson's questions. but to show you the contrast with how candidates can handle things on the campaign trail but to your point over the ad, this is going to be long forgotten perhaps as soon as next week. this campaign is going to be about the economy. both campaigns know about that. it's no surprise that the very first ad that goes out on the air as romney comes back to the states is about the economy, joe. >> about the economy, joe, but also a pivot in terms of how he's dealing with his own experience. his experience, the obama campaign has been able to in some ways successfully turn into a negative. he's trying to turn it back into a positive saying, look, i did all these things and this is why you should elect me. >> and also taking a knock at president obama by saying the america you built because -- >> subtle, but it's there. >> a little bit subtle but talked about his business experience, didn't mention bain capital by name, but did talk about business. >> dana, there's some other news
