james patterson. [applause] >> hi, i'm stephen king. [laughter] i was walking in here and this lady said new book much taller in your book jacket photos. [laughter] my boy jack came home from prep school yesterday, that thrill for me. it was devastating when he went away. where have you been my blue-eyed son? what i want to talk about today something close to my heart, which is the power of stories in the way stories can affect the world, the way stories can change things for the better. in just the power of what can happen. a writer friend of mine was walking on burke avenue in new york city and he passed a blind man who was assigned the good please help me i'm blind. my friend is kind of walked by them and, but then he stopped and he saw this guy only had a couple coins in his hat was so he dropped in a couple of quarters and then he asked the man permission to just change the story a little bit for this guy, which he did and later in the afternoon he came back and pass the guy again and the hut was full of coins of those and he stopp

so james this is. this is my thanks because as we're having money big problem in the debutante at the moment i would like to feel like maybe there are never enough men out that always so many beautiful women and never enough men yes my pleasure if you would if you will have a. great. buy had planned to hang back and take part in some of the big group don'ts is this time and i was suddenly. very nervous if this risks a new year's debutant it was more important than ever that i didn't mess up still at least i didn't have long to think about it. with dozens of couples performing the figure waltz we did have a few problems with traffic but with a few well timed wolds we made it to the end and then we could really enjoy ourselves. you're loving life you know it might seem like you have a really busy life and my case to be made so made you. think i. could keep it thank. you but it certainly leaves you out of breath and it gave me a chance to chat with samia about why she had decided to become a debutante met

co-chair james, councilmember supanich. now we are open for discussion and public comment. have a question about the intent of the proposed amendment. i am suspecting the intent by the author is to encourage and engage more councilmember leadership opportunities. what would happen if that were not the result? let's hope that would not be the case if that comes into approval. maybe that option, discussion? councilmember wilson? >> i do not understand what you just said. i do not understand it. if no one wants if n o one wa ntsto step up? >> chair: let me make an attempt to clarify. from my experience in the past, attempting to promote more leadership opportunities for colleagues, i've noticed that a lot of times it is tough to initiate that the person who proposes a leadership role. that is my concern. if they were persons not able or willing to fulfill the leadership role, do you put the council at risk by making a maximum of two consecutive terms. does that make sense? that is a question i have. councilmember supanich. >> i like to see a system by which people are prepared

james this is the costume for the middle of the nineteenth century. that's the sort of thing open with for. by this time they are wearing black coats and black trousers in comparison with very elaborate gowns for the ladies men look like exclamation points bringing attention to female beauty. and want to remind you that you could make a costume like that for me the core question of course bridget. excuse me for a moment in this list. that's how the first is to. the clintons both on the one hand the boardroom is the most democratic place. almost on the ball you can invite anyone you like your board so just but if you want to invite a lady who is standing next to a gentleman you should ask his permission first. yet the ballroom is also a very patriarchal place in the past in russia were forbidden but there is one exception if someone stood on your partner's dress like that you were obliged to challenge him to do it only in that instance did the emperor permitted just do it. at the cooperation women were able to communicate with fans man you what was bei

now, this james is not the james who's in the list of the apostles. this james is the brother of the lord. >> it's somewhat surprising that we should hear of jesus' own family members among this earliest group in jerusalem precisely because, in the gospels, the family is... is usually portrayed as being antagonistic toward his public ministry. at one point, in mark's gospel, they think he's gone crazy, and they try to take him away before he can do himself some harm. and they go down to ask the question of how do we deal with these gentile converts? and they manage to get some sort of rough agreement with the jerusalem leadership. they agree that it's okay for paul to convert these gentiles and yet not to force them to be circumcised. >> narrator: as part of the compromise, paul agreed to collect money from his gentile congregations to support the church in jerusalem. >> so when paul goes back to antioch, he seems to think that he's won a major victory in the understanding of what the christian message will be. shortly after his return to antioch, how

james also adored spending time with his dad. in his obituary, his family writes, if dad was outside, james liked to be right there with him. their love was one of a kind. james was his dad's mini look-alike. jessica rekos loved everything about horses. she'd spend her free time reading books about them. drawing pictures, even watching movies about them. her parents, both raised in newtown, called her a beautiful, creative little girl who spent time writing in journals and making up stories. they spoke to abc news. >> i found a little journal, i don't even know when it's from. i just opened the book and it was exactly what i needed. it says i love you so much, mama. it's like she knew we were going to need something to help us get through this. it's just what an amazing girl she was. >> jessica also became passionate about orca whales after watching the movie "free willy." she was able to see one in person at seaworld. jessica was known as the rock who kept everyone together. in a statement, her parents write, we cannot imagine o

i am a huge james bond fan. i figured james bond can be blond. i guess he can also be a red head with mr. lewis, and i keep reading if there is going to be another change in the bond series, you are on the short list, so if ever offered to play james bond, would you accept? >> that is the $60 million question. if you knew how many times i have played james bond in my mirror at home, if only you knew. tavis: i think you can call it off. >> it is an honor to meet you. -- i think you can pull it off. >> it is an honor to meet you. tavis: john slattery is living an actor's dream playing a character on one of the most critically praised shows on television, "mad men." the drama has just wrapped up its fifth season. here is a scene from "mad men." >> where are you coming from? >> hemisphere club. >> we got good news. >> what did he say? >> we will see you monday morning. >> are you kidding me? >> you said to get you a meeting. i got you a meeting. >> you think this is a serious meeting, giving me 48 hours to prepare. >> that is up to you. do not lose y

the book is not about james meredith. so often with book titles the subtitle carries the story, and it is a soldier's story. an army out of place, yes. again, they did their job. i saw pieces of violence after that first morning, but then we moved into somewhat boredom. boredom to the point that even he himself, james meredith -- an eccentric character but brave character -- sort of chafed at being guarded as we would guard him. not moving him around from point to point as we were advised by john door, my iconic civil rights hero and nicholas katzenbach. he was to have as much freedom as any other student. well, yes. but at the same time, there are deer hunters, and it was the season, and we had cop instant, we were constantly aware who might come up on to the campus, didn't look like a student, had a bent mind and a deer rifle, and we had to be constantly aware of that kind of threat to his life. he was a brave person. i was sitting in his dormitory room the first couple days reading the hate mail, the death threats. ver

the white house, james madison's study. it's the story of paul jennings' complicated relationship with the father of the constitution, james madison. jennings was the constant servant in james madison's study, and as madison would discuss political subjects of the day, and during his retirement review his life's work designing and defending natural rights and self-government, paul was there to hear it all, and in the book, i developed the thesis that he was able to absorb the theoretical underpinnings that would allow him to identify his innate yearning for freedom as a natural right of man. jennings and madison developed a close bond of mutual respect, but they never were able to all together bridge that very deep divide between white ellite and black slaves. nevertheless, jennings had reason to expect that he would be freed by the terms of james mandyson's will. when it didn't happen, he was given to understand that madison and his wife, dolly, had come to an understanding before he died that she would free all the 100 mo

first, time for traffic and weather jamee whitten. >> good morning. it is a quiet morning on 270, no troubles between frederick and the beltway. between prince george's, anne arundel, montgomery county is, no troubles. fog could be a little bit of a factor. this is germantown. 355 through gaithersburg and heading south towards the beltway towards n.i.h, all your travel lanes are open. the beltway is open to landover, passing 202. no troubles in silver spring or tysons. back to you. >> thank you. now you can drive a little faster along more major d.c. commuter routes. .increased the speed limit to 45 on eastbound on york avenue between bladensburg and the maryland line. and it's 45 miles an hour. the speed limit on canal road from the chain bridge to foxhall road is also now 40 miles an hour. it's 50 degrees on this tuesday morning. >> good news keeps coming from >> welcome back. we're getting news from iraq about their president. >> he has been hospitalized. jummy olabanji is in the newsroom with more on what is happening. >> we are getting this infor

it's another master hoax by michael and james of think moto.ce to promote the sci-fi film in time starring justin timberlake. >> the general concept is that money is replaced by time as a currency. once your time expires you die. >> and we came up with an analogy to the movie by somebody who rebelled against a parking meter that was controlling his time. >> the guys need the altercation to seem as real as possible. that starts with the cast. >> it's key in a viral video to use people who are realistic. >> we use real people. we don't use actors. >> with that in mind, james and michael are ecstatic when dedre tries out for the officers part. >> i was a parole officer and a detective with the district attorney's office and never served as a traffic enforcement agent, but i've had numerous experience with people that have been noncompliant and difficult. >> and in the role of the saw wielding carpenter, they hire an actual carpenter, eric weis. >> eric was a carpenter o who put an addition onto my own home. >> basically he asked me if i would be i

or the politics of james madison?hat has this to do with our topic today, the role of something ancient, religion, in something very modern, american politics? the crux of the difference between the approaches to politics is the concept of natural rights. as i draw for you my picture of the rivalry, i recall the story of a teacher who asked her class to draw a picture of whatever here she chose. she circulated among their desks. pausing at the desk of little sally, she asked, of what are you drawing a picture? i am drawing a picture of god. the teacher said, no one knows what god looks like. sally replied, they will in a minute. [laughter] in 30 minutes or so, you will have the picture or so of my theory of the role of religion in american politics. i will note three peculiarities. i write about politics to support my baseball habit. jack had the bad taste to mention the chicago cubs. i grew up midway between chicago and st. louis. i had to choose between being a cubs fan and the cardinals fan. all of my friends becam

cochair james, and program administrator -- >> i have a two-part question. one part is about the desk clerks and having someone who listen to you if you have a complaint. the complaint goes to management? they know they are trained to de escalate situation? i don't know about the training that desk clerks would have at sros. >> i think that the short answer is, that depends. a lot of nonprofit housing providers have their own training and standards to what desk clerks are trained in. yes, there are nonprofit-run sros, who have well-trained desk clerks. the vast majority are private buildings. they're not huge buildings that are very apparent. that could be 3-4 floors abouve a restaurant. that's just the person hired by the property manager, or have some sort of agreement for trade for work. and the function of that person is often to buzz people in or call 911. we are looking at raising the bar to where some of the training levels are at some of the nonprofit buildings. we have technical problems with that. in chinatown for example the norm is not to have a

aspercreme. >>> we are back with james baker, former secretary of st e state.ormer chief of staff, talking about, well, everything. >>> i thought the election would be closer than it was. just looking at it from the outside, i thought that the republicans had a zooenlt decent chance of winning. i think the two things that defeated that was the very divisive primary we had to endure before with 22 debates and a period between the end of the prime minister season aary of the general election where the democrats were able to paint romney as something he wasn't in my view and the republican side of the screen was silent because they had to wait until they got their general election money. and then the ground game, i think the democratic campaign had probably a very far superior ground game to the republican campaign, but there's some things that i think this election tells us need to be done for my party, for us as a party. i think it's really important that we be seen to be the party of hope, optimism instead of the party of doom and gloom. we need to be positive

james? >> it is a big topic because everyone knows that -- we used to say 60,000 illegal or unauthorized units in thant of those that exist. people live in them. what does that mean? probably, they were built without a permit, or the use of them is a not-permitted use. it does not necessarily mean that work done to add a room down in a basement behind de garage was done without a permit, but the actual use of the finished space might be a non-authorized users, non- permitted use. >> you might have -- >> you could have a room downstairs. you could have a sink in the room as a family room with a wet bar, maybe. the city starts getting funny about that kind of thing. it sounds like an illegal unit already. it is not always a bad thing. i would not say that in many instances, legalizing -- "legal" is a strong term. in our business and sales business, we try to avoid that term. it has many implications. to say something illegal is -- to say something is legal or illegal has a lot of implications.

bond fan and i'm not necessarily but i'm sure we all know from james bond the aston martin. there is a safe place where we are free to challenge conventions push the rules of physics and draw of all powerful useful machines. so i think they're usually getting blown up in james bond movies from what i hear but now maybe they're going to get blown up by what moody's is saying ok the ratings agency has reportedly put aston martin on review for a debt downgrade and what i think is interesting about this dimitri is that we always talk about downgrades with austerity in europe in sovereign debt crises when we see these countries facing downgrades but look luxuries impacted to extravagances feeling the pinch as well so what's the reason for the. i forget there's that i don't know it's a credit yeah there's a great is yes they might see their debt downgrade i mean i don't know are given the services i mean you like the story you're a big fan and i figure maybe you're in the market for an awesome are you you know you're you make a lot more than i do here that i work on your ridiculou
