i am here to speak in favor of jason elliott. i do not know him that well, but i don't think it can hurt to have him on the commission. let us look at some of the current environmental ordinances. ordinance 246-00 is the california quail. has anyone seen a quail in the city? you have not. there are not in the coils in the city. also, i'd do not know if the commission is aware of this, but the quail is already the state bird. our city board should probably -- city bird should probably be the california pigeon. which brings me to another ordinance, one i am sure you are familiar with. the feeding of wild birds ordinance is completely draconian. there is nothing in this ordinance about enforcement. i would like to show you a picture of an elderly man eating about 100 pigeons -- feeding about 100 pigeons. those are pigeons on his arms. i had to run away because i was pretty sure he was going to command them to attack me or something. if the city does not do something about this, there is a point to be draconian consequences. the real

josh elliott has got more on the story. good morning. >> reporter: dan, good morning to you., yes, of course, the nfl is ready to, once again, take its place as the undisputed king of the american sports landscape. the game, tomorrow between the packers and the steelers, figures to produce some $200 million in revenue. it will be, by far, the most-watched sporting event of the year. and certainly, the most-watched television program of any kind, by far. and yet, with every potentially deadly hit suffered by those players on the field, and new research linking those injuries they suffer to chronic and life-threatening maladies. some, now, are wonder if football can survive its very essence. every autumn sunday, football's bone-shattering hits unhinge nfl players, across the country. violently scrambling their senses, to often devastating effect. >> he was drilled. >> reporter: and statistics today show those hits and the concussions that follow, can last a lifetime. with nfl players, up to 19-times more likely than the average person to receive a dementia-related diagnosis. me

i'm thrilled to see jason elliott remaining on the second floor. amy brown attended a number of our meetings. she is on board. most of you have attended some of our meetings and are supportive on this. i think there is an incredible joint cooperative effort and feeling that we need to move things forward, and we are going to continue to do that, but thank you to each of you here. them a second that. >> thank you. one more item i wanted to add is on my concern, especially on the disclosure side is that we do not get into a category much like the toxic assets that has evolved from the refinancing, structuring, and all that, that on the seismic side, that the passing of the buck does not ultimately become problematic on not doing what is required or recommended to be done for the buildings. >> on that matrix clinch that commissioner clinch reyes and showed you, we started with several stages of the valuation. we can take a look at what happened, and there are 40 buildings -- is that about right? that have not been retrofitted yet. that ordinance came

. >> reporter: and travel expert christopher elliott says it's hard to catch up with the cuprites because they often -- culprits because they often operate in stations with little or no regulation. after doing some research the family called consumerwatch and we called the company named booking and reservations. they told our producer the case would be looked into. but when she called back, they repeatedly hung up. >> the guys are used to dealing with media scrutiny and they know exactly what to do and what to say. >> reporter: and when we called back to book a trip for the same week the nguyens wanted? >> march 20 to the 25th? are you sure it's available in. >> reporter: like the nguyens, we were told no problem negotiation blackout dates, no provisions, no problem, no blackout dates, 100% guaranteed. >> this is big lesson for us. >> julie says the nguyens have filed a fraud dispute with their credit card company. delta says it is not affiliated with that company in any way. bottom line: you might just want to trash the fax. give us a call if you need help, 1-888-5-helps-u. >> i get one

the overall government role will also be smaller says brookings scholar douglas elliott. >> we know directionally, after the next couple of years, the real estate business will look a lot better than it does now, but it won't look as much better as it would have, if the government continued to provide the massive support. >> reporter: banks may be the big winners in all this. as the government gets out of the mortgage market, they are expected to pick up business. though, if reform works as advertised, banks will also pick up the housing market risk now carried by taxpayers. darren gersh, "nightly business report," washington. >> tom: here are the stories in tonight's n.b.r. newswheel: mubarak's ouster helped u.s. stocks move modestly higher. the dow rose almost 44 points, the nasdaq added 19 and the s&p 500 tacked on seven. trading volume pulled back ahead of the weekend, falling to just below a billion shares on the big board, two billion on the nasdaq. the u.s. trade gap widened as we wrapped up 2010, rising almost 6% in december to $41 billion. for the year, the trade deficit jumped nearly 33

elliott kaimi served time in arizona. now he's learning job skills. >> yes, this program teaches you how to fill out applications, make resumes. they also teach you how to do what they call a mock trial interview, one on one with a staff, so that way when you do get interviewed you don't feel nervous. >> you can go in there in the morning, get on the internet, you check your e-mail, you go to craigslist, hirenet, put in applications. it's really wonderful. >> reporter: angela got a job working at a homeless shelter. >> i've been going out from november every day looking for a job. >> reporter: any luck? >> no, but i still -- everyday i put in at least one application a day. >> james rodriguez is now in a low-security hawaiian prison that allows him to leave the institution each day to look for work. after the long saration from his parents, they're quite hpy to provide transportation. gene williams says faith-based groups are so overburdened with prisoner re-entry they need help, too. >> faith-based organizations believe

they could go out and hire a disgraced public official like elliott spitzer to do a primetime show on their network. and yet cannot find a person of color? that may not be disgraced and is excellent at what they do? i just think nobody is talking about it. nobody cares. and that's why we've seen things erode. i think the progress has eroded. >> do you agree with her? >> i agree with her to a certain extent. on the one hand you do see more women have much more visibility in the media and more minorities. but she is correct. there is no major cable network backing a minority news anchor. and you don't see a lot of minorities after 2:00 p.m. and a lot of the women are very, very young on the air when you get to women who are seasoned veterans 40s and 50s in journalism, it's far few inbetween. you have katie couric and diane sawyer but it comes to the women core spendents and beat reporters, they disappear after a certain age on air. >> do you agree with her that it's worse for women than it is for persons of color in the media. >> it was interesting because i have a hard time separate to

this is a topic of particular interest to our faculty in the elliott school of international affairs. we can all agree that the role of the internet in recent events in the middle east make this topic especially relevant this afternoon. ladies and gentlemen, please join me anin welcoming the 67 secretary of state, hillary rodham clinton. [applause] >> thank you all very much and good afternoon. it is a pleasure once again to be back on the campus of the george washington university, a place i have spent quite a bit of time in different settings over the last nearly 20 years. i would like especially to thank president knapp and provost lerman because this is a great opportunity for me to address such a significant issue and one which deserves the attention of citizens, governments, and i know is trying that attention and perhaps today in my remarks, we can begin a much more vigorous debate that will respond to the needs we have been watching in real time on our television sets. hundreds of thousands egyptians had marched to demand a new government and the world, on televisions, laptops

i think it -- all of a sudden, elliott, who was the president, met her and was totally mesmerized by her and wanted to get her on the purdue campus. and she thought it was a wonderful idea and i think she would have probably spent the rest of her life doing that, being at purdue, because she was a strong feminist. although she didn't come across as one, she had very strong beliefs. and what she always wanted to do was to get women to be the best that they could be. she wanted them to lose their sense of inferiority. she was always trying to enhance women's self-esteem. and there she was -- offered a job to be on the faculty of purdue, to be a consultant for careers for women. well, of course, she was a huge hit and she was there and the -- girls just adored her. and i think it was probably very satisfying for her and i think it would have taken more and more of her time. c-span: you say that purdue got involved with a research foundation and was there a time where they were even going to buy her a plane? guest: well, they kind of did. they kind of did buy her a plane. two of the weal

elliott did not think was good news. >> i don't have to go. >> atlanta, at one point, they didn't haveeek. what are parents doing? we're going to see how they're coping with not being home alone. >>> first, a houston lawyer has posted a $1 million bond after being charged with trying to have his wife murdered. jeffrey stearns says he's innocent, that his former mistress orchestrated the plot on her own. and his wife is taking his side in court. first, ashleigh banfield has the latest on the case. >> reporter: it's a mystery with a marital twist. a houston woman who has survived three attempts on her life, is standing by the husband who has been indicted in the crime. in fact, she accompanied him to the police station where he turned himself in. >> let me be perfectly clear. jeff stern is clear of the charges. >> reporter: it began after jeffrey stern's mistress was charged with plotting to kill his wife. and yvonne stern filed for divorce. months later, she changed her mind and reconciled with her cheating husband. >> the only thing jeff is guilty of is having had a marital transgressi

and finally, myself, elliott cola, i teach arabic at georgetown university. i will be the last speaker. please, professor. the protests, historically and comprehend them in theoretical. our exchanges were somewhat complicated by the pace and the magnitude of the events and it is beyond question the recent developments in tunisia implications for the political landscape of the region as a whole and by extension foreign relations with the world at large. from the perspective of historians of africa, the repeated consensus that the region is now fundamentally transformed is more a thesis than it is a verdict. and the thesis in question is whether the theoretical frameworks with which historians analyzed social movement in the region are able to interpret and explain the recent developments in meaningful ways. there is nothing academic in the academic training of historians that would give them the superior tools or the confidence to interpret events on the quick n. fact, historians are notably reluctant to leap into the fray without caveat. they are also inept a

i'm elliott cola from the department of arabic here at georgetown university. i need to raise the microphone just a little bit. i want to begin my comments thinking about matthew arnold, a 19th century english poet and literary critic who -- who watched as new social classes began to exert themselves in the english polity and began to reflect on this. this is precisely the same process that e.p. thompson was reflecting on in his work. for arnold, this process was alarming. it was a potential threat to what it meant to be english. and for him, culture could be used as a weapon. he used the word "culture" as a weapon to fight this new class war. the title of this book "culture and anarchy" was exactly that, posing a very stark choice on one hand, culture and on the other hand anarchy. the order that people had known as what england was and the new anarchy posed by new classes of english men to be there. and the same bifurcation in things like civilization and barbarism. in egypt it has reared its head in very interesting ways and i want to talk about those today.

former deputy national secretary, elliott abrams for you to read it created the very situation that israelhe u.s. now fear and that mubarak's statement that he will not run in egypt scheduled election is too late to enable a smooth transition. america's role should be to facilitate a post-mubarak transition in order to avert future violence and restore calm and guard against the use of the transition process by nefarious elements such as the muslim brotherhood to direct way for indirectly undermine egypt's evolution to a democratic republic. there is no evidence that a well thought out contingency plan existed in the event that mubarak's governance -- governments became unstable or collapsed. "the wall street journal" reported that middle east experts at a january 31st meeting at the national security council officials quote, please tell me you have contingencies in case of mubarak's regime collapses, end quote. the national security council reportedly admitted there were no such plans. a february 2nd report by foreign-policy.com cites the senior defenestration officials telling the admini

in 1827, editors john brown rossworm and samuel elliott cornish published "freedom's journal," the firstblack newspaper in america. the newspaper provided african-americans with a public square of their own where they could participate in their own discussions and advocate for african-americans. as these two distinguished leaders wrote in their first editorial -- quote -- "too long have others spoken for us. too long has the public been deceived by misrepresentations." unquote. while "the freedom's journal" was short-lived, it began what was no less than a revolution. other black newspapers arose and began to explore subjects that were previously off-limits in the press of the day. new black newspapers delved into previously unmentionable hardships in crafting a new identity for freed and enslaved african-americans. topics such as slavery and menial labor were examined by african-americans for african-americans. for the first time in the history of our country, african-americans were able to speak freely through a press of their own. in addition, african-americans could start announcing
