the focus is making sure we have an ironclad agreement. they say money was transferred out of one hospital into the sutter system. are you confident the agreement right now is iron-clad to prevent money transferred into sutter? >> we have a provision in the agreement, item seven. they are not prohibited to move funds around. they count any funds to the sutter parent. let me try -- greg can help. we did not address the ability to move funds around. but they can take the funds and move them up. this is not permitted in the development. >> cna thcan the attorney point to that? >> it will take a moment to find the paragraph. yes. you want me to read parts of it? exhibit f, page 14. the operating expesne inse is te definition for the calculation. means, total expenses of operation and all afiliates, operating with the city to find the generally accepted principles -- so this includes reasonable payments to the system, i.e. sutter health, applied through the system for overhead and services required. this would not include equity or cash transfe

so yes indeed, the confederacy essentially invents the ironclad "virginia." they more or less invent the torpedo which we call today a land mine, they were experimenting with a movable torpedo that could go out and strike a very willing, the first submarine to sink an enemy vessel as a confederate submarine. the confederates if you want to make the argument had the first aircraft carrier because they used balloons tethered to a raft on the james river. davis is not involved in much of that except some of the logistical work behind the ironclad program but he did create and maintain an organizational staff culture in the people in the war department that was ready, willing and anxious to pursue opportunities to take advantage of anything of this sort. >> jim alluded to something i couldn't agree with more, and that is lincoln's interest in seeing everything, and his amusement at some of the contraptions that were sent, like sweat proof body armor, and correspondence is filled with these extraordinary suggestions. my favorite is a double barrelled gun with dive

davis is not involved in much of that except some of the logistical work behind the ironclad program but he did create and maintain an organizational staff culture in the people in the war department that was ready, willing and anxious to pursue opportunities to take advantage of anything of this sort. >> jim alluded to something i couldn't agree with more, and that is lincoln's interest in seeing everything, and his amusement at some of the contraptions that were sent, like sweat proof body armor, and correspondence is filled with these extraordinary suggestions. my favorite is a double barrelled gun with diverging barrels that lincoln got a letter from the inventor saying that this would be an ideal weapon for a cross-eyed soldier to use. [ laughter ] it's true. to clear out both sides of the potomac at once, and he was amused to keep that letter in his desk. strategy, davis -- lincoln had to be on the offensive. davis could have stayed on the defensive, and maybe endured a longer war and maybe successfully sued for peace if it went on into the late 1860s without any outcome that c

what we do as we go into this, and from what we have heard today, with sonoma, the base line of the ironclad commitments seems to be an invitation to go ahead and litigate. thank you very much. supervisor mar: that looks like the last speaker. >> thank you. thank you for your tenacity. my name is -- i am a chief of pathology at pacific, and i also directs liver-related research at the institution. i also run the committee hepatitis screening program. the local issues around the rebuilding of the establishment, which i hope you will indoors, have been dealt with by other speakers. i would just like to make a point about the research that we do. we have a liver transplant program. we did 71 liver transplants last year with outcomes that are among the best in the nation. in fact, of the 111 programs, no one has better outcomes than we do in this nation. we do that with a research and the dedication of our staff. we have a research program which we have put together essentially in a rather old fashioned way. we have one of the country's very few liver depositories, where we keep material from pe

feel like a ghost of christmas past year, and i hope you are listening because you need such an ironclad contract with them, and i do not even know such a thing exists. but the 1% for st. luke's, it will be gone. they will find a way to get around it. just really be careful, because i understand that some of them are medically indigent. they are medicare. they are medical. we did 26,000 emergency room visits last year, and those people cannot be absorbed in the valley, which is much smaller than the current hospital there. the bets are going to be evaporates in the east bay, so i asked you to please think about that, and remember the people and came up and spoke on behalf of the rebuild, who later, because they trusted what sutter said, where regretting that they stood up and did so. thank you for your time. supervisor mar: thank you. mr. lyon? >> i live in berroa heights, and i worked as in the biomedical engineering area. i want to explain to you why rebuilding st. luke's at only 18 beds is not only a disaster for southeast san francisco, which is underserved, medically underserved, po

in order for this to be approved, there has to be some sort of ironclad agreement by calpacific that this happens. it may be in the form of if we are having operational difficulties. that would not just the st. luke's. it would be the whole operation going south. the would continue to operate st. luke's until the selected time, 20, 25 years. i forget the exception amount of time. or they would sell it to a buyer that would continue the operation at the same level they were performing. i am optimistic, because it is sort of counter intuitive, that they would spend $250 million to build a new hospital and just close the thing. i am optimistic something can be worked out. i think the ball is in their court. i think they have to come up with something that makes it clear that under no circumstances this hospital is going to close before the agreed upon time. the rest has many benefits for san francisco, for jobs, for affordable housing, for benefits to adjacent communities. also, we draw 33% of the patients at cal pacific from outside san francisco. that is important, because this brings

rare for members of congress to make sheez allegations against individuals without having, i mean, ironclad proof or any real proof other than, you know, her dead father 30 years ago knew a guy who helped his organization who was in league with another organization? is. >> sure, it's very rare. and i just think that alex is saying, i think he's dead on, this was not intended far mainstream audience. this was intended for her base and as i mentioned before, many republicans on capitol hill have said to me as a fundraising tool. she's very, very good at raising money of what we call ring elements of the party. and she wants to keep that going. she makes clear that she wants to raise money and she has a democratic opponent that's going to beat her and she needs the conservative base to come to her. so yes, the answer to your question is, it is very rare. >> i'm sure you' gotten these e-mails as well. i've been inundated by people saying i'm now supporting the muslim brotherhood because i'm now raising questions about her allegations. where does this go? do we if the state department has respon

they claim they had an ironclad case. they were leaking stories to the media because i would look at police reports and look at the way phrases were done in the police reports. i'd see the exact same phrase in "the national enquirer." clearly, they were building up for a high-profile case. i don't blame robert blake for being mad as hell at these people for what they did to him. >> he was particularly exercised by the way phil spector had been treated. got bail immediately. whereas in robert blake's case, he was put inside, as you say, in the worst jail in america for a year of his life, in a cement box, as he put it. why was he treated differently? >> first of all, the cases were filed differently. phil spector was charged with straight murder. you can get bail for $1 million right away. robert blake was charged with murder with special circumstances. which made him eligible for the death penalty. nobody had ever gotten bail in a case like that over prosecution objection in california till we got bail for him after a thr

until finally just before christmas of 2009, david and his lawyers got good news, an ironclad ruling must go home immediately. the handover took place on christmas eve. by then, tensions had reached an almost hysterical state. sean's visibly upset grandparents approached the consulate on foot. his mom's brazilian husband came next, with his arm wrapped around sean. in his yellow shirt, there was no missing sean goldman. in the frenzied crush of cameras, with people screaming, horns honking, helicopters circling, and police on guard, it was overwhelming. >> do you remember much about that last day? it was a tough thing to watch. you're a little boy. >> 9 years old. >> what do you remember about that day? >> getting dragged through streets full of cameramen and a lot of people pushing. and hearing a lot of yelling and people calling my name. i just wanted to shoot through everybody. >> he was also confused and conflicted. >> did you want to leave? >> i had mixed feelings. >> yeah. what were the feelings on either side? >> i don't really remember. but i remember going into the plane and

they claim they had an ironclad case. they were leaking stories to the media because i would look at police reports and look at the way phrases were done in the police reports. i'd see the exact same phrase in "the national enquirer." clearly, they were building up for a high-profile case. i don't blame robert blake for being mad as hell at these people for what they did to him. >> he was particularly exercised >> well, i'll tell you. i think i was born -- the truth is, i think i'm sort of a mutation or sub species. i think if i was born 10,000 years a i would have taken two three people, gone off, start another tribe. >> amazing reaction to this interview. i couldn't think of a better person to talk to about it. a lot of people said to me he's obviously crazy. others saying maybe he was acting. others saying, if he didn't do it, you can understand why he's like he is. lots of different opinions here about this. when you dealt with him, did you question his sanity at all? >> no, i didn't. i mean, he was troubled. he was h

you know, the problem that mitt romney has is that he doesn't seem to understand sort of ironclad rule of re-elect politics. a re-elect is a referendum on the immediate past performance of the president, the last three years. but it's also a referendum on the character, history, and profile of the opponent. his history matters, because the voters have to decide, do we want to replace this guy we know, who we've already grandfathered in the information we knew about him. like you said, he already wrote about drug use. he grandfathered that in, we made a decision, he was elected. but the voters want to know, should they replace him with mitt romney? it's mitt romney's past and mitt romney's character that voters need to analyze and scrutinize, but he's refusing to explain what it is that he's done in his life that makes him qualified to be president of the united states, other than just being mitt romney. >> jonathan, is it only a candidate who doesn't drink and doesn't take caffeine, who could possibly think that the american voter will be outraged that a candidate smoked some weed in h

he said ironclad. and i was, too. but there you have a way. people can go to their houses and save the water god gives us and use what he gives us and that gave a good practical use. take that one home. thank you all very much. and witnesses for your very valuable testimony and members of this committee have additional questions and respond to its get it in writing and helped to give the response for that. the record will remain open for two weeks for additional comments. we thank you once again very much. we are adjourned. >> congress is considering several measures to help those affected. we talked to a "new york times" reporter for details. >> nixon right in "the new york times" about possible congressional measures on the drought situation in the u.s. to get how much of the nation's farmland is being affected by the current heat and drought? >> the usda added about 76 additional counties last week bringing a total of 1300 plus counties declaring them a natural disaster areas because of the drought. that's over 31 states. it's particularly

but he was not about to bend what he considered to be an ironclad rule in bringing these people backo positions that they had, in fact, abandoned. you know, very much like a soldier going off from the front lines. >> host: this tweet from robert craig: the greedy koch brothers call calvin coolidge and warren harding heros because of their tax cut and anti-labor stances. >> guest: well, i can't comment on whether that's the -- if that's an accurate quote from the koch brothers. i suspect that's probably not the case. and, in fact, warren harding is the fellow who when the republicans take over, right soon after he becomes president, they take help bring together an end of steel strike. and the republican, the steel industry they had, like, 12-hour days seven days a week, some crazy shift work. and it was under harding that they go to, like, an eight-hour day or six-day week, things like that which tend to be forgotten. and you also see -- i was looking at in the -- looking at in the other day. mother jones, one of the founders of the iww, goes to the white house in october 1924 and en

if not, a promise, ironclad for every country.ever, the good news is they are principles that are applicable to any country. .. country. paul, the apostle paul told timothy that all scripture is inspired by god. it is god's reasoning and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training and writing to the man of god. we will be thoroughly equipped to every good work that god is equipped for us. the point is an old testament promise to israel is not a promise to the united states but it is useful as a principle of the way god works. therefore, when you think about the first great awakening, the second great awakening, men like jonathan edwards, a pastor from new england, from massachusetts, he would use a verse like this and he would pray and encourages people to pray second chronicles 7:14.ñ not only is god obligated to answer that for america but hopefully he bled because that is the kind of god that he is. we need to be careful about prayer. we can just put our quarters into the god vending machine and hit the button an

state department, victoria, the spokesperson said they will have -- the opposition will have an ironclad they will have a veto on whether or not assad is part of the transitional government. and obviously, they don't want him. but this transitional governing body doesn't exist right now. so there's a big question. can it even come into being? >> one other unrelated question as far as this is concerned. i know you spoke with the secretary of state about the so-called blind sheikh convicted of terrorism charges in the connection of the 1993 bombing of the world trade center. the new president of egypt says he wants the united states to release him, let him go back to egypt. i take it the secretary of state is saying no way. >> yeah, no way. she's saying that he was convicted. that the charges were correct. that he is now in prison, and she's saying nothing is going to change. and that is the position of the united states right now. >> jill dougherty, off traveling with the secretary of state and doing the interview for us. thank you very much. so how are americans thinking of the health ca

see the comments from german officials whether it be merkel, we need this thing to be locked down, ironcladd in a marathon, sure. but it's a marathon and this thing is not going to be finished any time soon. >> some of the people who like to track your performance over the past few quarters point out you were pretty bearish in the spring. as the markets got better, you went more bullish. now you're turning tail, with a dramatic cut. how do you respond to the accusation your forecasts are a bit flailing? >> i think what we're seeing is last year you had a market that was flailing in the summer. it got bailed out by ltro around october when it was announced. that basically carried the market until around february. it's really hard to know when you get this burst of liquidity in the system. who knows, we can get some of that in the short run now. but the half-life of these liquidity measures or these monetary policy initiatives is becoming shorter and shorter. so we've been somewhat cautious to believe that central banks can forever bail the system out. >> yeah. finally, jon, biggest risk to y

so as you look at those seven criteria that kind of the, ironclad, we don't get into it. and that's what i say one size doesn't fit all. that situation is essential like the one described by ann tucker. i think we're fighting that same kind that the federal government just does not want to move because of those situations that we find ourselves in. >> appreciate that. and you certainly are owed an apology, as ms. tucker is, when we talk about laws were people were arrested for simply saying they were native americans. what a travesty and a shame. we need to find a way to correct. >> my parents had come in washington, d.c. in 1935. they face jail time had he done it in virginia. >> i appreciate you sharing that as well. is a travis tygart and it they be allowed to pursue administrative relief? >> yes. i believe that is what the law already states spent i appreciate that. and mr. gabaldon, is it your assertion that you feel that your tribe was never terminated? >> no. we believe we were terminated in 1959 but it was but a non-wappo indian spent i appreciate that very much.
