i'm going to skip over that now and go next to the 34 17 gardner position.his is the backbone of our landscape maintenance mission in the department. our gardeners perform a wide variety of horticulture tax, [speaker not understood], field turf [speaker not understood] nursery plant cultivation, urban forestry tree planting and reforestation, just mention some of the things we call upon our gardeners to do in our 220 parks throughout the city. within the 34 17 classification, we have a ~ -- an appointment or an assignment. it's called the park services captain. these are 34 17 gardeners who then receive an additional assignment or appointment from the general manager and they serve in an assistant supervisory capacity. and we select our park service captains from their merit-based performance record, from their demonstrated potential for supervisory duties and we check with 261 to ensure they are a member in good standing. we assign these assistant supervisory duties to build supervisory capacity in the department and also to establish supervisory experience

the civil service for gardner position is considered entry level or journey level gardner as are many [inaudible]. joe public cannot apply for that job and access that job. however, we [inaudible]. the advantages that you get from the apprenticeship program and have agreed through our recruitment services director's assistance to make sure that we value every moment of the apprentice time in rec and park so that they will receive full credit and be able to be placed while -- placed while on the list without excluding the opportunity for an external candidate who is meritorious [inaudible]. it will result [inaudible]. being able to fulfill the commitment made which i think is also groundbreaking that every apprenticeship -- that every apprentice who is reachable and is successful, that they will be able to provide employment to those individuals. that they will have enough positions available, their planning and their budget have enough positions available for these individuals. so, it's very exciting. i think that while we cannot, again, preclude external people from applying in the s

we are joined by senior analyst brian gardner. thanks for being with us.t in the next few days and weeks. how he responds to this could dictate whether it goes away quietly and quickly or we end up going into a for a month? which way is it leading? >> so far they have been fairly aggressive on the irs side of the irs story. the first inclination is they're taking the first step to get this out of the way but it will not go away that quickly. they have done what they can. ultimately washington has very limited bandwidth. they can only digest certain things at a time and to the extent scandals dominate washington's attention policy debate the going to become more complicated. when we get through the summer and the debt ceiling debate there is a chance what was going to be a heavy lift with the administration and congress to raise the debt ceiling becomes heavier. a growing lack of trust and the administration will be distracted and more complicated. dennis: even more difficult and stocks hitting all-time highs and the dow up 5 points. right now is almost as

brian gardner, senior vice president. maria and i will talk this out later.going to be fine. paul, let's talk about this. and whether you think the regulatory risk to banks today, particularly the large banks, makes them a good buy or a not-good buy. >> well, right now we have to see where all of this comes out, but i think right now these things are fairly valued. and the too big to fail issue, i don't think, passed, but the regulators, i think, are going to make these banks hold more capital. i think that's the damage. i think a lot of people are concerned out there that the capital play for these institutions, that big portfolios laportfolio s like, like buybacks and dividends, could be hampered. which it looks like that's what they're leaning towards. >> and capital, as well as liquidity, right? they want to tie the health of these companies not just to capital, but now also to liquidity, which probably is the right way to go on liquidity, but not capital. what i don't agree, ty, and what i was alluding to is the idea that all of this is actually helpful.

or barry gardner he gave his thoughts on why it's taken this are to such a long time to transfer the prisoners to the local authorities. people who have been found do have been detained by the british authorities and are believed to have been active in gage ment's or conspiracy against british personnel they would normally be handed over now because they couldn't be because they might be tortured in that situation what's been happening is that the ministry of defense has been working closely to put in place in afghanistan appropriate procedures and oversight of some of the court the solidities there so that these men can be released into a grander tension apparently yes it's taken quite a long time to put this in place and clearly that's a very disturbing position to be in nobody wants these men to be being held in this way they should be tried and processed if they if they're found innocent they should be released and if they're found guilty obviously they should be detained or given whatever the appropriate sentence would be so as to for international first commentator jonathan ste

dennis: joining us now with his take is brian gardner.e with warren buffett? >> i think in an era of constricted fiscal policy where states and the federal government have been pulling back on fiscal policy, i think it is up to the fed to get the economy going. yes, i think they have been doing good. dennis: let's talk about the language change in the statement. in march they said they would continue their purchases. and they they said prepared to increase. i could not help but think the fed was paving the way to increase even more. >> the previous statement said they could change the pace of asset purchases. this statement said they could increase or did decrease. this battle among central banks which is similar to the united states are looking at contractionary fiscal policy and have to keep their economies going with monetary policy. it leads, ultimately, to a currency war. i do not think they are looking to amp up, but as the fed said, it could change the purchases going forward. dennis: it sounds to me that they would either increase
