douglas. -- secretary of napolitano. issuing a national standard for security has been a contentious one. however, we believe that pass id adequately addresses the cost, policy, and privacy concerns so as to protect the citizens we serve. nothing will ever be perfect, however. from a law enforcement perspective it gives us that much more confidence that identification we're looking at is authentic. that really is the core reality of the 9/11 commission request. if someone is saying that this is who they are and they provide an identification card or driver's license, that in fact that is who they are. it provides one more tool to ensure public safety and is designed to make it much more difficult for terrorists, criminals, and illegal aliens to tabor with official identification. i would like to close with two or three more points here. as you have stated well, the 9/11 commission was concerned that varying state standards created gaps that were exploited by the terrorists and in obtaining state identification documents.

is on the side of buster douglas.and you have the mexican military seemingly on the side of the tropical guzmÁn cartel what can the united states ever do about that? i really don't know. >> and another disturbing trend for those of us who are from the border and it's a very long time is something that marks, i think, quite a difference in what's going on today is the growing role and spectacle in this very public use of violence and terror to ask. >> believe it or not, there are extensive numbers of narco blogs. there are hundreds of youtube videos they buy drug cartel that you can access. go over to the austin public library and look up cartel take one lares and to see pictures of members in the cartels. ill see -- oftentimes these youtube's and narco blogs and are commoditized. after people are killed in the streets, the group that did the killing will put up a banner explaining why they were killed. and threatening the opposite hertel. it's a very scary situation. what you have then is the propaganda arm of the dru

. >> joining us on "newsmakers" is douglas shulman, but the irs. steve, you have the first question. >> how are you today? >> doing well. >> last week there was a report that came out from the national taxpayer advocate talking about the services offered by the irs and talking about your goals with people calling up and looking for help, people talking to real people. i understand that it is the goal of the irs to have only 71% speak to real people. why such a small number? >> let me talk about the service in general. first of all, with every irs program, my belief is that we can always do better. the report you are referencing talks about declining service levels over the last few years. to put it in broad context, i tried to make sure that we run good service channels. what i say channels, i mean web service, service over the internet, walk-in service and paper that goes back and forth. levels of service have decrease over the past couple of years. to give you a sense why, the demand has relief loaded. on average we get about 65 million calls eve

he doesn't have to be a tony douglas, but he can sure pick up some of the other things, and he's oneers that will get better as the year even progresses, particularly in conference play. >> bob: solomon alabi spotted for a hold. and that's his third. one-and-one coming for virginia tech. hokies down seven. so crucial one-and-one here for jt thompson. hokies have given away a lot of points at the foul line tonight. particularly in the second half. he'll get the bonus. >> larry: thompson, not a very good free throw shooter, only 50% coming in and he got that percentage that time at the free-throw line. >> bob: and we've got a bumping foul on atkins. his second. seventh on the hokies, one-and-one coming for dulkys. >> larry: bob, this is the time in the game, you're under six minutes to play right now. you've got to look to the guys that made plays for you all season long. if you look at virginia tech, it's got to be the guards. you've got to look to delaney and hudson. but the guy who has not performed tonight, because he's been on the bench with fouls has been allen. they've got to fi

talk about douglas, and you just sense the seminoles, they've relied so much on him, and why wouldn'ta first-round pick in the nba. they're still trying to find themselves offensively as the season unfolds. >> larry: bob, i think a lot of times you've got to play like tony douglas, who is now playing in the nba. everybody was so deferential to hip. turning everything over to him. you've got to forget about him. allen fouls it with one on the shot clock! >> larry: oh, no! >> bob: jeff allen went for it, hook, line and three free throws. we'll have to freeze that baby, i think with his foot on the line. let's see here. hard to tell from that angle. >> larry: i don't think there's anything conclusive in what we saw there. >> bob: i believe the call on the floor was a three-point attempt. so the crew in the truck trying to piece this together for the officials. take a look. right side of your screen, allen takes the ball-fake and jumps right into him. foot on the line, it appears. they're going to say two. >> larry: i got to tell you, i detested the delay of the game, but i want the call

his name is douglas lair and he joins us from reno, nevada.lot of flying this holiday season. the question i ask, can the tsa stay ahead? there were a lot of folks there i noticed during the holidays, but can they stay ahead of these possible groups or even maybe being on lace or not being on a list? >> it's a very tough challenge, and part of the problem is the technology hasn't kept up like it should. remember, this is not a new scenario that we saw on christmas day. >> can you stop right there. when you said the technology hasn't kept up like it should, whose fault is that? what should we be doing? how should we be more advanced in our technology? >> in the final analysis n. my opinion, the way to keep the scenario from happening again is you have to do a body scan. this is very controversial, but, again, if you want to keep the bombs off airplanes, that's the major gap that has to be filled. >> and, you know, we had the puffer things, i remember they were taken away. they started them and took them away because people were complaining abou

general douglas fraser, head of the u.s. southern command, said its push is to get assessment teams on the ground, and bolster haiti's battered infrastructure. >> so we're focused on getting command and control and communications there so that we can really get a better understanding of what's going on. the bottom line to it is we don't have a clear assessment of what the situation on the ground is, what the needs within port- au-prince are, how extensive the situatiois. we also finally have a team that's headed to the airport. from my understanding, because my deputy commander just happened to be in haiti when this situation happened on a previously scheduled visit, he has been to the airport. he says the runway is functional but the tower doesn't have communications capability, the passenger terminal has structural damage, too, so we don't we don't know what the status is. >> warner: also headed haiti's way are u.s. coast guard vessels and an aircraft carrier. and being readied to deploy-- 2,000 marines to provide security

the decisions of this precourt it is unique in that regard and lincoln in his debates with steven douglasthe senate seat in illinois before he runs for president is confronted by what we like today to call judicial supremacy, senator douglas and he says the supreme court has decided this question about slavery and we are bound to obey no matter what. lincoln developed a theory that polls on jackson and jefferson as we've talked about before and he says look i will obey the decision of the supreme court as it applies to the two parties. other than that the president has authority to interpret the constitution himself. i may follow the president's but if i think they are wrong i may not to rely will only -- in other words he was saying i will respect the dred scott decision and if i have to return dred scott to his owner i will do that but i am not going to return every fleet to the country to sleep or is it to there's too. you have to assume each time to make me do it. >> host: and he said in the overview of the supreme court on the one hand necessity could justify unconstitutional acts an

see what it is is the referee's on the side of buster douglas. except no one knows that, and here you have the mexican military seemingly on the side of the guzman cartel. so what does the united states ever do about that? i really done know. >> and another disturbing trend for those of us who are from the border and have lived there a long time, something that marks, i think, quite a difference in what's going on today is the growing role of spectacle and the very public use of violence and of terror tactics. >> believe it or not, there are extensive numbers of narco blogs. there are hundreds of youtube videos made by drug cartel people that you can access, go over to the austin public library and you'll see the pictures of members of the cartel. you'll get to hear a nice narco credo in the background. and a lot of times after people are killed in the streets of juarez, let's say, the group that did the killing will put up a banner explaining why they were killed, okay? and threatening the opposite cartel. it's a very scary situation. what you h

. >> steven douglas. at the university level where we're teaching our college students about starting companies and assessing risks and calculating risks, should entrepreneurship education be, well, education or more experience? >> frank? >> if i may. i think the experience is the education. i will answer it very simply. you have to experience what it is to be an entrepreneur. in many places, stanford, m.i.t., for example, wisconsin, the institute in akron, we're doing the same. we take teams of students and we expose them to problems. in our case we have teams including an m.b.a. student, shadowing orthopedic surgeons, looking at the things they are doing. to determine, where are there opportunities to innovate new products? now, once they do that, they learn things like how do you develop a need statement? what's the need? what's the problem here? how do we develop a need statement? how do you do the analysis in terms of the stakeholders, the surgeons, the nurses, the patients who got to interact with t

alice rivlin, bob reischauer and douglas aiken in different ways have mentioned their support for thatapproach. i think it is fair to say grudging support. douglas walz said he had come to that process of elimination because other things seemed to not be getting the job done. but analysis that have been done of the effects of various commissions and budget rules and other process, changes in budget process showed that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and that depends partly on whether the change in process is trying to enforce its position that is widely held or whether it was trying to impose something against the views of most people involved in the process so the sense of most people in the number of previous co detectors testified to this effect is that the paygo rules and the discretionary spending caps in the 1990's did help to restrain the policies the would have made the deficit worse. during the period most policy makers were very concerned about budget deficits when that concern waned lead in the 90's than those process constraints were generally ignored. moreover

i am pleased to be sitting next to jim douglas, my good friend, the republican governor of vermont.los angeles of why law enforcement supports pass id. we get to the fundamental reason for why we have these laws in the first place. we go back to the 9/11 commission report. we need secure identification to thwart potential terrorists. law enforcement needs to have confidence that an idea older is who he or she claims to be -- and id holder is who he or she claims to be. states vary widely in the standards they employ. national standards are necessary, but national standards -- secure identification will not thwart every plant terrorist attack, but it can present an obstacle and give another tool to law enforcement that we need. as we mentioned, there are lots of similarities between real idea and pass id. the main similarities between the two are the requirements for physical security and driver's license production. a back down check -- background check on employees must be conducted. training must be given to all employees involved in the process. requirement to show pass ids at th
