i called dr. maybe it would be the worst disaster ever carry if they probably behind the wheel of. not doing it ever again the best person for this report fantastic piece of all the reporting from mostly thanks for that. now that's ahead in a system must have gadgets high streets and outdated devices soon found themselves on the scrap heap and upon a computer junk soon become someone else's problem this week where journalist a long way home from this is the residence it's the streets of new york to find out how people think their feel about other countries paying the price for america's infatuation with technology. americans produce about three million tons of electronic waste every year and countries like india end up as the dumping ground so how many gadgets have you bought this year this week let's talk about that is there a gadget that you're lusting after a noun as a g.p.s. after you are desperately yes you have no way to track where you're going without it basically no maps. just not as great but an i phone and she already have a phone course what was wrong with it that she n

dr. glenn melnick. maybe if you could come up to the table, and then, the need to speak, you can come up, but thank you very much. >> thank you. good morning. i am the senior adviser at the pacific business group on health, and i'm here to talk about the effects of market consolidation on hospital costs and quality in the city and region and around us. first, a quick word about who we are. we are located in san francisco. we have been around for 20-plus years. we are a coalition of large employers that is trying to improve the quality of health care and women help care cost increases. we are in the same quandary that you are, and i certainly do not then be your task. our members spend $12 billion a year providing health coverage for about 3 million individuals. they are purchasers of health care just like you are. mr. chairman, use of me on this slide, but here it is in pictorial form. we have all paid close attention to the article that came out in open " l.a. times" last month, so there is. 70% differential

dr. king in 2003. they talked about steroids maybe 50 times. dr. king testified the two never discussed specific steroids. they had one very general conversation about him as he recalled. that is the prosecution's case. saturday, he found the conversation on the "b" side of a cassette tape. >> i guess we'll have to find out the mystery of how this evidence that has been missing for eight years suddenly pops up at just the crucial, most dramatic moment in the prosecution's case. >> reporter: susan ilston says she has heard the tape and most of it is irrelevant. a ruling doesn't look good for the prosecution there. lab workers testified about positive testing in 2003. they'll see if they are going to bring in an alternate jurors. one of the jurors is ill. if he can go on today they'll leave him seated but if not they'll bring in an alternate. but front and center is what is on that tape and will it be admitted into evidence. >> kristen: defense attorneys are expected to continue their cross-examination of a star witness in the chauncey bailey murder

. >> rose: your dedication i thought would be yrb dr-- your mother maybe but it's not. >> she had too many books already. >> to all who speak the truth. >> i mean that as heartfelt it takes alot of courage to tell the truth, and to find the truth, and their characters in that book who are very positive role models as well who risk a great deal at no gain, who just put their hand up and wore to tell the truth and that is what they did. >> are you surprised that there have been no prosecutions as critch enmorgenson wrote in the "new york times" the other day coming out of the economic crisis and the recession. >> yes. >> and ukt. >> i am surprised. >> why do you think. >> you want to talk about perjury and lying. how much was there in all of that. massive amounts. and i would have to look at some individual cases. and i think, i know a few people who frankly i thought were very likely to get indicted and they haven't about. and so i would really like to probe more. one of the problems with grand jury secrecy and i suppose it serves many purposes but it's very rare that you actually get

dr. oz. maybe a talk show contender, like anderson cooper.ah can be replaced. >> oprah is the only one oprah. >> no one. i guess the second-best would be ellen. >> reporter: and now, with the latest speculation that katie couric is seriously planning a syndicated show of her own, experts say the competition is narrowing down. >> katie has proven, like oprah, she can do the serious fare. and she can do some lighter fare. a big wild card is anderson cooper. >> reporter: which is it? team anderson? or team katie? viewers are taking side. >> team anderson. >> team katie. >> team anderson, because he's cute. >> reporter: but do they know the secret to oprah's success? can katie be personal enough after doing the news? will anderson be loose enough for daytime tv? could it really all be in a name? >> ellen probably has the best shot. she has the name recognition. she is a one-namer. oprah/ellen. and ellen's fans really feel a connection to her. >> reporter: ellen can dance, too. some were wondering if katie would be able to bring a large audience w

if i could come in maybe a couple questions for dr. groves. and then maybe one for mr. goldenkoff.aybe even one for mr. zinser and then we'll turn it over to her next panel. dr. groves, what is senses during to ensure that plans for internet response option will succeed in 2020 given our experience from 2010? >> well, we're doing a variety of things. it may be the watchword on this is integration. so i believe that the internet operations were using another sample surveys are relevant to internet usage in the 2020 decennial senses. we want to learn lessons from those. secondly, the tricky thing for us this decade will be to do enough testing of the internet that will stay nimble on devices. so the devices that will access the internet in 2020 will be more twofold. some of them haven't been conceived of yet. we want a modern set of alternative tools, devices to access the internet because we think that the way to achieve this higher convenience. so we need a lot of tests of internet. little, smoltz test to learn incrementally and stay fresh. we can't walk into specific solutions. we

dr. marshall. >> i don't have any problem with -- maybe 3 $4. if we have a -- 3/4. if we have a study guide. to all the lawyers that didn't want to be on the commission. really. this is a horrible document and i will have to -- i'm going to tell you why. a lot of times it is assumed that -- i know these things. it is assumed. i think a document -- it is important that we should provide something. it may be second nature to you. it is not second nature to me. what i think is important to do, let me just say one other thing. help me with this. this might summarize just a little bit of the confusion that i have around all of these procedures. legal terms. procedural trial of disciplinary cases. i thought these were administrative hearings and not trials. >> they are. but perhaps we should change that name. it has been there a long time. >> we're not supposed to be doing trials. we're supposed to be doing administrative hearings. back me up on that. >> legally, these are administrative hearings. administrative abjudicative hearings. it dates back to 1932. it is called a trial. that's the old-fas

dr. arthur must be having a horrible day today. an uncomfortable night wondering what's on that tape. now he's open to what? maybearges, maybe not. i don't know that will be up to how this all plays out. i doubt it will ever be able to prove perjury against him. if you are dr. you're wondering about that saying oh my god what time did he take me? what did i say? that's going to be interesting and i haven't heard the tape yet. wait till that is played in court, if it is played in court. it will add credibility to steve hoskins because it proved what it's he said. >>catherine: i found it is here. thank you michael. stay with kron 4 for continuing coverage of the bonds perjury trial. we will stay with that story throughout the trial. to get the latest any time on www.kron4.com. >>catherine: man remains a medically induced coma after to dodger

dr. harry klein is an expert in speech development. most people seemed to think the babies were talking about socks. or maybehey were talking about current events, certain snake escape. others seemed disturbed by the babbling. there have been cases of twins who really did seem to develop their own private lingo. there was a documentary made about twins that spoke their own language until about # 8 or so. the two didn't have much adult interaction and picked up a combo of english and german t. parents of the youtube twins have shied away from too much publicity. actually it's more like millions if you count tv and web views. >> i think they were talking about libya. >> someone else had the same idea in this match up with dutch sub titles. these two don't just imitate each other's babbling, they do simultaneous head stands and one could only imagine what they would do if they found a cobra. as one person posted, nominee for best foreign language film. >>> well, they are talkers. >>> a west virginia high school student is showing off something exceptional. laid a whopper. it could be the biggest egg found in we

it seems like i don't know what to do tonight, maybe i will see a movie or a sesame dr. king. he's capable of great and methodical coming plotting as breaking out of a maximum-security prison. the local news and what's going on dnieper succeeding when he got to atlanta he bought some maps of atlanta they were later found it entered into evidence that he circled ken's house, king's church, office, he was plotting king's bald but was frustrating because king was never at home. he was always traveling especially now drumming up support for his poor people campaign. to begin first reading if i'm going to do this going to intersect in some way, the obvious, the local papers, the atlanta constitution reported that king was going back to memphis after the violent march that happened he had to go back and redeem himself and do this second march and they announced in march was likely going to be and when he was going back to memphis and who would be there. so it gave him some time to think and plan and, you know, begin to think how do i intersect with this guy? once he got to memphis t

dr. weinstein, why is the natural protocol so important? why natural? well, the only other alternative is to then go into maybeproach, which only tends to want to deal with treating more of the symptoms. and there are many healthcare conditions that really do require medication. no doubt about that. but from the basis of my program, we want to use the simplest, easiest and actually least expensive natural supplements, that just supplement your body, ease it back into balance, ease it back into health, and then for most people, they oftentimes don't even have to continue to take the supplements once they resolve their food cravings and they're back to hormonal balance again. so, dr. weinstein, can you go into a little bit more detail for us about what is the difference between supplements and medication? well, medications are, of course, designed to specifically treat a symptom without really addressing causes for the most part. and again, they can be vitally important to those who crucially need them. but there is almost always the downside

dr. bruce hensel from our nbc station in los angeles. >>> hundreds of people celebrating easter in san francisco this morning with the sunrise. okay. so mayberise is a little bit of an overstatement since you can actually see the sun through fog. but hey, it's san francisco. that didn't stop people from bundling up and attending the annual easter sunrise service at mt. davidson cross. as early as 4:45 this morning, buses were shuttling people to the city's highest peak. sunrise was around 6:30. several state and bay area leaders were there including fiona mah and dennis herrera. and yes, it was a little foggy there. a little rainy other in other parts of the bay area. hello, rob. >> the easter egg hunts had been for the afternoon or evening, we would have been fine. the rain flying through 10:00 and 11 thank morning along the east bay hills and along the coast. now we have the winds that cranked up, dried out the air, and you can see clearing skies in san jose. it is windy around the bay area right now. west wind. 59 degrees. into oakland, it is a cool 60 with a west wind at 17. nothing but clear skies right now. but that is not going to be

seeing though you know you could say dollar dr it's often publicized but the point is it's working do you think we're seeing a huge change within the g.o.p. maybe revolution is to going too far maybe revolution isn't going far enough but we're all the old rules are being thrown out it's no longer pay your dues wait your turn everyone goes at it now you have to do and many people are going to rock obama went very quickly he didn't wait his turn so to speak but the thing is i think the change we're seeing in the republican party is not represented by donald trump i think you now he can say whatever he wants because he's not going to win the same way that dentist who sent it off and says whatever he wants or ron paul does but the reality is that the republican party through over three hundred fifty antiabortion bills proposed so far and when you leaven at the state and federal local charting contraception i mean the pill book bill alone so i think we are seeing a change in the republican party but it's not donald trump who's representative of it so perhaps you're saying going a little more to the right a little more to the extreme then is that the

as reported by "the chronicle, " maybe you ought to think about whether you are in the right line of work for district 7. secondly, i want to bring up the instance of dr. john ulrich. the department of public health punished and won a million dollar judgment against the county of san francisco for the way he was treated. i think the laguna honda situation is another instance of where the department of public health spends hundreds of thousands of dollars going after with tour -- whistle-blowers like rivera, kerr, ulrich, and myself. this hearing is proof that there is -- there are other ideas that everyone should listen to before they walk out of the room. especially those that run the city. number one, obstruction of justice. number two, dereliction of duty. number three, abuse of power under the color of authority. my last comment, i would like to mention. bernie madoff, enron, and ponzi schemes all had one common theme. most of them, if all of them, had auditors who failed miserably to protect the common people, and that is why the country is the way it is. also, i would like to bring up the point that last week, president obama held a conference o

chose to rethink and maybe even reduce or here's where photography fails they get our guest bryan alexander has brought some real the artistic troubling stills from his favorite dr. reiner alexander's real love to the arctic started during his first visit to the region nine hundred seventy one with difficulties and extremely low temperatures only to experience the hospitality and generosity of the locals they revealed to him the riches of their land and brian says if it hadn't been for them it would be impossible to take such astounding shots of the arctic but the mostly untouched region is in danger the civilized world trampling on the primal landscape and the centuries old way of life of the peoples of the progress is rushing headlong into it and there seems to be a north force that can slow down no force called. into the show thank you thank thank you very much for being with us well first of all we just saw this wonderful picture of you somewhere in the arctic or antarctic if you look just as this guy i mean i mean just as indigenous as the people of all infer well first of all i want to ask you what's your attitude to. to this green movement people that say

maybe i can do something about it. >> speaking with dr. decided on surgery. that was the last, you know, decision. >> and the surgery was pretty quick. >> it was very quick. i was -- i went in on a thursday and i was back to work on monday. >> what happened after the surgery? how long did it take for your smell to come back? >> it was instant. when i got home, i had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. it's the most amazing one i ever had. >> who knew peanut butter and jelly taste sod good, right? >> exactly. >> you went through a bunch before you got to that point. a noninvasive surgery, are there other things people can try? >> the most important thing is to try to find a reason. this is one of the causes, one of the more common conditions i treat which is patients can't smell because their nose is congested, they have allergies, they have polyps in their nose. the odors of the molecules can't get to the organ of smell. so i think the most important thing is figuring out what are the problems first. >> those are the main problems, congest

maybe you can run for the center. then we will turn it over to the next panel. dr. groves, what is the census doing to ensure its plans for internet response options will succeed in 2020, given our experience from 2010? >> we're doing a variety of things. it is the watchword on this is integration. i believe that the internet operations we are using another sample surveys are relevant to internet usage in the 2020 decennial census. we want to learn lessons from those. secondly, the tricky thing for us this decade will be to do in the testing of the internet that will stay nimble on devices. the devices that will access the internet in 2020 will be multi fold. some of them have not been conceived of yet. we want to go have a modern set of alternative tools and devices to access the internet because we think that is the way to achieve this higher convenience. we need a lot of tests of the internet, small tests in order to learn incrementally and to stay fresh. we cannot walk into a device- specific solutions. the way the we do that, we spend time getting the base arch

so maybe it's a scientific interest. >> thank you, dr. ekman. mr. lure, he's chomping to the bit here. >> i want to respond to dr. ekman's point. that was the conclusion of the may, 2010, report was to have a study of this a.i.r. validation effort. we think it's very important for a panel to be established that has no ties to the current program, that's not an advocate of the current program, to help weigh in on this very issue. i think that's very issue that the panel today shows a lack of consensus which was the basic point i made to my earlier statement. there is no scientific -- >> well, a subject like this you expect to be a broad range of disagreements. has the panel like what you're recommending been suggested in one of the budgets or lined out somewhere or is this something -- >> agreed to review the methodology of this so-called a.i.r. report but it's mr. willis that indicated the final results of this final validation effort has only recently been submitted, i believe he said, as of last night. >> i think i ran out of time so i'm going to

dr. kuchar, and looking at your background, i think he went to graduate school, maybe get your ph.d. at the university of texas. they have great athletic teams. good academics. i am trying to remember was it last night, the women's ncaa? and them, but a&m and netted them. texas a&m won. i know from some of my friends that they don't always see eye to eye. a friendly rivalry, kind of like ohio state and michigan. is there still that rivalry? >> big time. >> when texas a&m, the aggie women take it all and when the n.c.a.a., how did they feel at the university of texas about this? >> i have no idea. i was in graduate school there and had no time for athletics. >> i understand. all right. the last thing i want to mention here is sort of putting all this in context. at go back to where i started off. the budget deficits. we also have a growing population and a need to account us well, accurately, and the next time that we try to figure out how many u.s. representatives will get a particular state large and small, we want to be able to insure that when city councils or county councils are

so maybe it's just of scientific interest to find out. >> thank you, dr. ekman. mr. lord is chomping at the bit here. >> i'd like to respond to dr. ekman's point. in fact, that was the key recommendation of our may 2010 report was to have an independent panel review the results of this current air validation effort. we think it's very important for a panel to be established that has no ties to the current program, that's not an advocate of the current program to help weigh in on this very issue. i think it's very interesting that the panel shows a lack of consensus which was the basic point i made in my earlier statement. there's to scientific -- >> well, a subject like this you'd expect to be a broad range of disagreements. has the panel, like what you're recommending, been suggested in one of the budgets or lined out somewhere, or is something -- >> yeah. dhs agreed to establish an independent panel to review the methodology as well as to review the final results, but as mr. willis indicated, the the final results of this latest validation effort have only recently

dr. drew, we pulled out a little bit of trivia, not a lot of people maybe know about you, that you're a dadi guess are all 18 and all of them are heading to college this fall. >> that's right. >> yikes, good luck with the tuitions there. >> they are going to schools all over the country. >> really. >> new york and tennessee and massachusetts, so it's going to be something. >> wow. >> so with the fact that you're a father of multiples there's a little piece of video that i'm sure you've seen that's made the rounds this week. watch this and i'm curious, dr. drew, your thoughts. >> so what do you think? you see the video. did your little ones do this? >> oh, absolutely. it looks very familiar to us. triplets and twins have a long heritage of developing their own languages, and in fact one of my sons had that da-da -- da type language in spades, real dethat a lot. the other two were more silent, but can you see the source of language, the beginnings of elements in language developing, and twins are well known to develop their own language as well before they develop the language in the ambient

dr. king talking about steroids. at the time he said he could not find the tape, maybe didn't record, now we're hearing that over therosecution says he has located the tape deck of the conversation, as a result that may or may not be put into evidence a could be very devastating, and used to appease the testimony of dr. king. >> mark: also during a juror was sealed today? >> caller: call will not be in session today in front of the jury because the jury is to remember is sec there have not decided whether or not to replace that juror there will set out to small rain other excusing them for the day. but the bombshell about having this tape that suddenly disappeared and now has reappeared that will be much the discussion today between the attorneys and the judge. this could be a big turnaround today. we will not now until we find get exactly what is said on the tape and whether not it is legitimate. >> mark: how important you feel dr. king's testimony is to boggs case? all it looks like we just lost him. >> darya: we're talking to a legal analyst and you have to take this all as a whole, he felt but the case was very

dr. bonds should testify. >> the judge says give me a list of potential witnesses. if that person is on the list and the judge says 0 he was on the list, maybeould carry on the list just to decide. the defense will not put him on i would be the most prized guy if it but barry bonds on terry and they're sitting in a fairly good position right now so why take a chance of putting very on the stand of the juror doesn't like him, doesn't trust him whatever they've danger in the trial of goes away with that. >>pam: don't members of a jury like to hear from the actual person at the centerpiece of the case? >> to do but it judge is very strong in instructing the jury. they will argue that in fact the defendant doesn't testify you can't consider that. there's too much at risk putting him up there. keep in mind, barry sometimes doesn't do well with people we all know he has some attitude we see what the press. it he put very on the stand and he blows up in front of that jury, there goes your case. they're not putting him on a >>pam:. we will see if you're right, the defense begins tomorrow with its witnesses. to with kron 4 for the coverage of the bos

maybe they don't need his testimony. prosecution rested yesterday. a judge is ruling that a recording made by bonds armed eve hoskins is not going to be admitted into evidence. it was his physician drthur ting they were talking about steroids. he was thinking about doing them back in 2003 but the judge said you can't use it because you can barely it. but the defense is considering bringing bonds to the witness stand. >> everyone knows that barry bonds is history is not mr. personality. the idea of putting barry bonds on the stand of would be an enormous risk. >> who needs the testimony at this point in the trial? the judge said yesterday she is leaning towards striking potentially all of ex-girlfriend's kimberly bell's testimony because there was no legal foundation laid for her relationship with bonds. interesting the 2003 grand jury testimony was read to the jury. he is heard saying he didn't use steroids, in fact he was against steroids. the defense has got three to six witnesses that its going to bring for this entire case. one of them may be barry bonds and if he testifies defense attorneys say it's going to be today. >>> president obama is coming to the bay area in two weeks.

dr. irva hertz- picciotto who heads the division of environmental and occupational health at uc-davis sees many possible environmental factors. >> there is a group that did look at the diagnostic substitution explanation. they thought that maybe explained a quarter to a third but in addition to that, there has probably been an environmental contribution for a long time. we in fact know that some of the potential environmental causes do include, for example, infectious agents. >> reporter: do you have candidate factors for those factors that may be fresh in the environment? >> i have a lot of candidate factors actually. and they include nutritional factors, infectious agents, chemicals in our environment including chemicals in the household products that we use every day. there are a variety of factors that could be influencing development. they may play a role at different points in development. but i think multiple factors contribute not just across the population but within any one individual. so when i say that i think autism is multi-factorial in its causation, i think that applies to even at the individual level so that it might take two or three susceptibility genes combined with two or three environmental factors at cr

cases but if it grows too much in a contracted area, one could argue maybe the government has given away too much. >> all right. dr. gansler, you raise on page 12 on your testimony a couple of examples. you cite a congressional budget office report from october, 2005, in footnote 11 and a gao report from march of 2010 for the assertion for the claim that contractors -- there's at least certain functions that contractors can perform more cheaply than government and those are two examples. are you suggesting that that's always the case, dr. gansler? >> well, first of all -- >> and one is 6 years old. >> those were independent studies of noninherently governmental functions. that's really the important point here. >> uh-huh. >> because we have even found when we have government people doing noninherently governmental functions today, and we run a76 competitions, that even when the government wins, and sometimes they often do, there's huge cost-savings as a result of the presence of competition. i mean, you believe that's the american way and when we find on the a76 competitions over 30% cost-savings and improved perf

dr. dukan talked to us because today, it's coming to america. the diet is so promising, it's fit for a queen. or maybeight, she had to have her ring sized. tabloids speculate kate's been shrinking on a diet, not from prewedding jitters. her mother, carole, told reports that she had lost weight on the dukan diet, something the palace now denies. anne agoren says she discovered the french diet before it officially came to the states. >> five sizes. i've lost five sizes. i feel great. i can walk into a room now. and go, this is me. look at me. before i would have hit in the corner. >> reporter: hollywood royalty is raving, too. dr. dukan says penelope cruz lost her baby weight with the diet. but the creator of the hottest diet is a mild-mannered french doctor, who says this is not a fad diet. this is not the quick-fix diet. >> oh, no. it's quick to lose weight. but it's very long to conserve it. >> reporter: consolidate. that's the key. phase one, the attack phase starts with speedy weight loss with nothing but lean protein and his special ingredient oat bran. not rolled oats or oatmeal. oat bran, culled

dr. ling, the ceo, could you make the... your first responsibility to the public, then to the all the shareholders," it's okay. but i'm afraid maybeall the shareholders, they cannot accept that concepts. >> smith: asia's other booming giant, india, will surpass china as the world's most populous country by 2030. here, i found factories pumping out suvs for india's growing middle class. and soon, a $2,500 gas-powered car for millions more emerging from poverty. today, everywhere you look, there's new construction. for india, it's a great success story, a triumph of free markets. >> everywhere you go, you're seeing construction going on. and everywhere you go, you see these kinds of things happening. you see all these store buildings that are coming up. they almost seem to be sprouting up over night. you wake up one morning, it's, "oops, there's another tall building out there." >> smith: but, as in china, growth is also the problem. even the most basic building material, cement, is an issue. the process of making cement is one of the biggest industrial sources of co2 emissions in the world. >> smith: it surprised me when i learned

maybe a couple of times. good thing we are not paid on a per appearance basis. let me welcome dr. groves, nominated by president obama to be director of the census and confirmed by the senate last july. he is an expert in survey methodology and researched ways of improving the system through staffing and programs and keep it committed to the highest scientific principles of accuracy. he knows how the agency operates, what its employees need to successfully implement the census. thank to see you. the honorable todd sensor. every now and again we get phone calls at home from people, and we have one of these do not call lists, and still we get calls. if they are calling from like the university of michigan or ohio state. one day i got this call from a fellow, and they said is han there? i said pardon me? he said is han there? i was trying to think. who could he be calling for? then i was thinking, hon, period, short for honorable. so i said this is hon. [laughter] >> oh, hon, how are you doing? i forget where he was calling from. you have been great to support or charity before. i ju

maybe we should think anew. at least i think it should be a fresh debate. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. now we will hear from drjeffrey patterson. >> thank you. it is a pleasure to be aired. it will be a trip for me to -- it is a pleasure to be here. it will be a trick for me to run this and my computer. i think nuclear energy is hampered by the three poisonous p's of nuclear power. those are pollution, price, and proliferation. we are seeing the price of the pollution today in fukushima. we know about price. the ambassador spoke about the cost to the ukraine, which continues in belarus as well. pollution is the thing we have to keep in mind in the connection between pollution and nuclear weapons. there is no safe dose of radiation. you hear this all the time. harmless to human health. safe dose. it is pretty arrogant to think it is just us. what about the plants, insects? we know that low doses of radiation cause cancer. it is a direct linear relationship from low to hire. the more radiation you get, the higher your chances of getting cancer. every x-ray you get, every cat scan you get, effect accumulates. eve

dr. spenderhughes showed. >> we're seeing a lot of intrafaith marriages between shi'ia-sunni. i remember i had husband conducted a shi'ia-sunni wedding with, maybe a black and white marriage, you know, in the early days, it was that traumatic, so much so the families of the two sides did not come to the wedding because they couldn't imagine the shi'ia were marrying a sunni and both were muslim and both were doctors. but that was 10 years ago and now we see a lot of shi'ia-sunni marriages, we see, you know, black-white marriages, jewish-muslim marriages, catholic-muslim apparentlies, and of course we're also seeing interracial apparentlies because islam sort of is colorblind and we do come from more than 50 countries and what unites us, we're very diverse ethnically, nationally, but what unites us is our faith. we have -- that is the glue that keeps the community together. so if you can walk into any mosque, you can see the united nations there, and invariably when you have that type of deep diversity and people are in this community together, you know, which is representative of all faiths and all ethnicities, people do fall in love and they com

such and maybe even wants to discuss some ways that we can change and improve certainly -- improve, certainly improvement is called for and it doesn't have to be within a 2,400-page bill, as dr. broun was mentioning obamacare entails. so at this time i'm proud to yield to representative ann marie buerkle. ms. buerkle: thank you. and thank you, mr. speaker. mr. chairman, it's good to be here. i thank the distinguished gentleman, my colleague from georgia. i am very honored to be here to speak about health care in the united states of america. as was said, i am a registered nurse, i've basketball been a registered nurse for -- i've been a registered nurse since 1972. a time in our nation's health history where the physicians and the patient had a relationship and the government had not injected itself into that relationship. and then after a while i went into law and for the last 13 years, mr. speaker, i have been a health care attorney for a large teaching hospital in upstate new york, for the last 13 years. and what we did in that hospital and in my role as an assistant attorney general was we looked at money, money that was owed to the state of new york and so i had a very

dr. lyons, if you want to respond. >> my respond is very length yi. there's many, many questions and maybe i can come back to it in other rounds, but just a few questions. you started with will the incidents in japan impact both here on nuclear power. personally, i think that's a review the nrc will conduct. the iaea stated there will be reviewed comparing lessons learned. i think all the factors will come together to help understand and certainly for the nrc to decide whether regulatory changes are required that may impact the progression of nuclear power in the country. you alluded to, and i certainly agree, that the very low price of natural gas, the absence of any value placed on carbon certainly tends to favor approaches to new power like natural gas and that impacts any of the clean energy solutions. i can launch into a discussion on reprocessing, and i'd like to do that, but we are way over the time so i'll leave it up to you folks whether i should proceed. >> this is any first hearing, and i don't want to abuse the privilege. [laughter] >> thank you very much, senator. this has bee

dr. rob epstein is president of advanced clinical science and research and chief clinical research and development officer at medco health solutions. jerry, you've studied trends in innovation for a long time, maybes for having me. i guess i could begin in the spirit of passover in asking why should the health care sector be different from all the other sectors of the economy? [laughter] that we don't really hear the electronics industry which is another interesting science-driven, innovation-laden part of the economy which has brought us enormous improvements over the last 20, 30 years with quality for all of close with an iphone, and we don't hear steve jobs going public and whining that the market is impairing his ability to innovate. so why are our two fields which have so much in common behaving so differently? is it possible to take the question that has been put before us for the reimbursement system in health care to stifle innovation? and i would answer, yes, it is. look around at what we have today before any reforms have really kicked in. we have a reimbursement system that already is stifling innovation but maybe not in a way that some might think i mean. we currently have an untamed

dr. raj is from health magazine and professor at nyu medical center. good morning. >> good morning. >> this could affect your quality of sleep and maybe your mood and everythingconducive to health. >> you have a list of things we should look into. the first is serious. mold can create serious health problems. >> sure. mold can trigger allergy symptoms and asthma in some people. it's not something you can easily see. if there is potential mold you want to look for leaks in the bedroom. you definitely need to plug them up, clean the area with bleach. make sure it's not a humid area. mold loves humidity. using a dehumidifier or air conditioner would do the same thing to prevent mold and symptoms associated with it like watery eyes, itchy nose and wheezing. >> if you have the symptoms should you go to the doctor? >> you should. you want to be diagnosed with asthma if that's what you have or allergies. just taking care of mold may not be the whole answer. you may need medication as well. >> all right. dust mites, not bed bugs which we have talked so much about. you say be on the lookout for dust mites. what are they? >> tiny little creatures you can't see. >> you

maybe texting. here we have a bouncing ball set. this is chemistry. it's a hands-on chemistry experiment. this is a glow rocks kit from dr. cool science.>> mm-hmm. >> this is make your own kaleidoscope from creativity for kids. this is physics as they learn about the light refractive properties on different materials. i love it because it comes with things to put in once you make it. >> teaching kids cooking in the kitchen is like science. >> it is. math, making compounds. >> geography? >> this is weather. >> weather. >> this is for if the kids are reluctant readers. meet them at their interest. lots of school age kids love weather. this is great book about how weather works. it's full of information for them to read. you can combine it with this climate cube from discovery kids. you could try this one. it's clean. this is a bird watching kid. [ duck call ] >> this is fun. >> fun from summit toys. the kids can make a life list. do it together. i love this new pop-up book from robert zabuda. it's about mythology. this is me due is a and folklore from around the world. >> we have only a few seconds left. what is this? >> geography. put a

maybe like none other in the united states of america. and he was a person who brought people together in the way that dr. king dreamed they would. a city of memphis that was split and hurt and racially divided in 1968. and because of that racial divide, it caused dr. king to have to come to memphis to stand up for the sanitation workers and the right of employees to have bargaining units and dignity in life. and memphis was even racially hurt more because of that assassination. but larry finch stayed home in memphis, a local basketball player who was the first great basketball star of african-american descent to play at memphis state. he took our team in the national finals in 1973 and united the city like never before. whites and blacks came to cheer for them. he spent his entire life in memphis, winning more games at men 23iss state. he was a beloved individual who brought people together and didn't know race. he died saturday. he will be -- have his home going on saturday, this coming saturday. i show you the memphis commercial from the day after he died. the greatest. the entire first section is nothing but larry finch and h

maybe we ought to think new. at least i think it ought to be a fresh debate. thank you.
