de la vega joins us from our studio in new york. thank you for being with us, mr. de la vega. in a recent speech, you called for a fact-based dialogue with the fcc when it comes to potential regulation of the wireless industry. why did you emphasize fact-based, and what issues were you referring to specifically? >> guest: well, actually i think chairman genachowski said when he was going to conduct his study it was going to be fact had had based, and i think that's absolutely the way to approach it. so when the chairman and his staff visited with us at ctia in san diego, we kind of put forth what i think are very compelling facts about the state of the wireless industry in this country, and importantly how it compares to the rest of the world. for example, when you look at the wireless industry today in the u.s., the points that i made it's the most vibrant and most competitive marketplace in the entire country. not only the country, i should say, but the world. we made our point using facts that the u.s. by any measure that you look at whether it's the a concentration index l

well, the billboards in this particular location were of the mule las, the taliban few las were all over this particular stadium. and i think that's about the only thing that you might need to know going into this. he knelt on the hard ground of the playing field inside the stadium. he tried to get to his feet but could not find the strength or will to rise. he was a statue frozen in descriptive position, his right arm raised, his hand in the shape of a gunpointing to the back of his head. this is where it happened, he said. a hollow tenderness in his voice, this is how they killed her. he gently tapped the back of his head with his index finger. before the american invasion, the taliban bring men here for games, they say, for the soccer. but no games, only death. his voice trailed off. he looked into the camera and those around him wondered if he was finished describing what he had witnessed, and if ben had gotten enough footage of the scenery for his documentary. he had led ben and the others through the tunnel into the stadium. a bright blue sky lay overhead, the stadium was deserted,

we will wait until we get it back and go next to dennis in las vegas., the general may not be able to hear you, but if you want to weigh in with your thoughts, go ahead. caller: i completely respect of our military and i think our leadership in our country should be based off that and i would like to as the general what he thinks about someone like general patraeus running for our next president. i would like to get his thoughts on that because that has been thrown out there. and go back to the days when we had eisenhower and stuff like that as president. host: general patton, it appears we have you back. did you hear that call? guest: i heard part of the call. it sounded like he wanted my opinion on general patraeus running for president. that may answer it this way, i was sitting with general patraeus just a few days ago. i was serving with him over in iraq and now we are together again in our chain of command here in afghanistan. i will just say this, the leadership in the military, we have to stay apolitical. we have got to focus on the machine -- o

they pass them off to the guys in las vegas.they fly around and return the drowns -- drones to the guys in control. they will look for roadside bombs, any activity. >> they took a pilot out of the cockpit and put in a satellite dish. they are always looking for the control. the missions can be so long, over one day sometimes, that a regular person could not do it. it also allows us to do the majority of the work back in the united states and there is no need to deploy. you can also ship of the crew for four era -- four hours. having that kind of flexibility allows you to do that. >> they have video cameras and high fidelity radar that takes these really impressive snapshots of terrain. in the morning you take one snapshot. you come back in the evening and take another and compare. if you see differences like this corner has been disturbed, then you might have spotted a roadside bomb. they will bury it when you are not looking, but if you have the pictures to compare it is called change detection. they revisit areas and take rada

bartlett, the your study looked at the impact of school policies regarding a la carte or vending sales questions and has a opening statement. >> thank you. i have spoken on this from my perspective, being the mother of a 13-year-old and releasing a tale of two schools, one of a student -- one of a school that she attended that was 90% free of school lunch, and now a different demographic makeup. just seeing the differences of school with less free and reduced lunch kids in terms of the fitness and their mothers packing them carrots and things like that, and then seeing in the inner-city school, the vending machines being used a lot. i think a lot of kids going for may be the less healthy alternative when there were choices. and then some healthy food given as well. minnesota, as you noted, and put a lot of emphasis on this. but even despite that, to see the difference between schools and the nutrition these kids are getting is very stark, and to also see the future obesity problem with some of these kids. i'm worried it is going to get worse as the economy gets worse because oftentimes

a man by the name of mike tracy lives in north las vegas, nevada. his 26-year-old son has been an insulin-dependent diabetic since he was a baby. the insurance mike's son gets through work won't cover his treatments and the tracys can't afford to buy insurance on their own. but their problems are about more than money. since they couldn't afford to treat his diabetes, it developed into a disease called addison's disease, which of course they can't afford to treat either. this disease can be fatal. this is what mike wrote me two weeks ago. again i quote. "i don't know what to pray for first. that i will die before my son will so i don't have to bear the burden, or that i can outlive him so i can provide support to his family when he is gone." end of quote. quite a set of prayers, mr. president. this shouldn't be a choice any american should have to make. it shouldn't be a choice any father or mother should have to make. and when given the chance to help people just like mike, our choice should be very easy. that's what this legislation is all about.

often a la king think about are the exceptions. tim meeted shares scalage big subjects like genocide and epidemic disease makes them in comprehensible through any single approach. i don't think one could claim to understand, begin to understand an event like the great depression only by reading about a fictional families experience in "the grapes of wrath," but i also don't think you can begin to have a sense of what the holocaust was without reading it least one account of an individual life that was enmeshed in the holocaust in a great novel like the periodic table for instance. story escambia wendell on the in normandy and enormousness, a means for william blake to see a world in the grain of sand. we are born responding to the stories they think. there one way we organize the world's chaos and when we pass that information on from generation to generation. the best stories are living monuments, the memories that have to be preserved and they don't need any other justification. by training all the dickens my mother used to read
