the detention services division falls under sheriff gillespie also. one of the first things he did was sat down with the executive staff and came up with a vision statement and las vegas. sheriff gillespie and executive staff decided we wanted to make las vegas the safest community in america. with that vision statement we started our strategic planning. in april 2007, the program came up that was part of our strategic planning and how we would be able to use the program to help reach the vision of making las vegas the safest community in america. it was not an easy decision. we research. made a lot of phone calls. we did site visits for for five months before we signed the initial application. we made a lot of phone calls to ice in salt lake city. we called out there to washington to insure all of our questions before we committed to the 287g program. our formal application was done in august 2007. our program began operations in november 2008. i will not discuss a lot of the members here today, but everyone asked me to talk about our successes. numb

dizzy gillespie said, when i met him, "you are one heck of a jazz musician." i said, "i don't play jazz." he says, "oh, yes, you do. anybody that can fly jets, and grow orchids, and is a ceramic artist, and understands something about technology and architecture is a jazz musician. u think like a jazz musician-- you're the first one that's put art and business practices together in the same mind." which is exactly what quincy jones said on the cover of the book i have out, making the impossible possible. quincy said, "this guy is an entrepreneur and a jazz musician in the same body-- fascinating." >> hinojosa: all right. ten seconds-- someone watching, feeling helpless. bill stickland says to them... >> come to pittsburgh, visit the center, email us so we can begin the conversation about building a center in your community, because we want to bld 2 in the world yesterday, and there's no reason to think that your city can't be one of them. >> hinojosa: so you actually want... you're saying to somebody, "dream and you make this real, and i'll help you make it re

. >> jim gillespie. >> commission director, i am the general manager at yellow cab. my comments are going to parallel the issues that are on there. with newer cars and hybrid cars, there is a lot of demand being put on the industry that costs a lot of money. the companies, the medallion holders, continued for the last two decades. the staff of the texas division -- their salaries are funded by medallion renewal fees. burkhart dispatch renewal fees. the reason i bring this up is we now have the sale of medallions that is raising up several million dollars going to the mta. my understanding is that 20% of it is going into the texas division. it seems to be some percentage that should be designated to that. our fees have basically tripled in the last few years. our renewal fees are up to $1,200 because we are the only funding source for the texas division staff -- for the taxi division staff. you're passing things that could be good for the industry. it does create a financial burden on us. we appreciate these several million dollars coming to the agency. some percentag

the total runs scored by giants game b was conner gillespie as team b beats team a.nts on giants. 3-0, that's the final. they will come together to face the diamondbacks at scottsdale stadium. many things can develop in spring that can impact playing time come the regular season. >> a lot of veteran guys here looking to play. it's going to be kind of tough to get everybody in. again, that's why you play spring, see where you're at and how guys are doing. i think we were the only two guys that broke in. by the end of the season we were still playing. >> one of the big story lines at spring training as it relates to veteran players, reemergence of mark de la rosa. let's show you in action in scottsdale. he'd been fighting through a wrist injury for the past 20 months. two surgeries later he's healed and hoping to secure an every day spot. perhaps hybrid, infield and outfield as the manager previously mentioned. he played just 26 games for the giants last season. and he kept on working and working to return. but now the return is here and he's looking for his place on t

where i work falls under cherub gillespie. the first thing that he did was sat down with his executive staff. i was part of that back in 2007. wycombe up with a vision statement in las vegas. sheriff gillespie and staff decided we want to make las vegas the safest community in america. with that vision statement, we started our strategic planning. in april of 2007, 287-g program came up. we wanted to use that to help reach our lofty aspirations. it was not an easy decision. we did a lot of research and made many phone calls. we did site visits for four or five months before we signed the initial application. when a lot of phone call toi9.c.e. i.c.e. our formal application was done in august, 2007 ^ we signed our first moa in 2008 and we began later that year. i will not discuss our numbers today. everybody here and mpi passed to speak about why we are successful. we did our homework. in april of 2007 into 2008, we talked to the current agencies and people got tired of those calling bam and going to visit them. we visited agenc

. >> david, the poem that the president quoted by john gill p gillespie mcghee, jr., called "high flightif the president uses it it will be because he knows the poem and loves it. he called me and said, how did you know i knew that poem? it turned out to have been very important to him. i just had a feeling that it was. >> and this is a poignant end to this museum. 1994. the sunset of my life. this is the letter he wrote to the american people about having alzheimer's. >> here we have for the first time the audio tape the president made. >> at the moment i feel just fine. let me thank you, the american people, for giving me the great honor of allowing me to serve as your president. when the lord calls me home, whenever that may be, i will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future. >> you can watch my full tour with peggy noonan of the newly renovated reagan library including early essays written by a young ronald reagan and great stories from inside the oval office on our website. that's mtp.msnbc.com. peggy, it was special. thank you. stay

. >> ed gillespie, look at the politics out of this, this was polling out of new hampshire, the firstses and here's how it looks on the gop side. it's romney leading their commandingly and he even looks gao good at this early juncture head to head against president obama. my question though, ed, is whether or not republicans are looking at this and saying, we've got to own the deficit message, yes, and are they worried that the republicans overreach here ha is what the democrats in the white house are counting on. >> i don't think so. but generally as well, where there is a greater political risk to be seen as unwilling to cut spending, than there is to be cutting spending. i've never seen a dynamic like this, like what's here right now and again, i think president obama is out of touch. amtrak loses $1 billion a year, he's proposing $53 billion for high-speed rail in our budget. we're not losing money fast enough? we've got to lose it at a faster rate. there's a disconnect that's going to cost him in 2012. >> i've got to leave it there, thank you all very much. we do want to remember
