lands. new energy production is one of the best ways to grow the economy and create new jobs to put people back to work. one needs to look no further for proof to that than go to the states like north dakota economies ushished and low unemployment rates and due to energy production. because of the energy boom, the united states will be the world leader in energy production, surpassing saudi arabia. the production is happening on private and state lands, which is good, madam chairman. places that aren't as restricted as federal onerous regulations and policies. however, federal lands are being left behind. however, this lack of production on federal lands is not for a lack of resources. we have tremendous potential for new onshore oil and natural gas production on federal lands. but unfortunately the obama administration is actively and purposely keeping these resources off-limits. leasing and permitting delays, regulatory hurdles and ever-changing rules are few of the reasons energy producti

just on landing but no that could have just been confused with an explosion as it landed so badly ross aviation the ross aviation servicing weather was not a critical factor here for plane landings the saving in khazan so maybe ruling that we heard earlier on for years the aviation expert the russian aviation experts saying that. the airport they should be able to cope with a category three landing my understanding of that may be wrong but my understanding of that is that it's. a very safe airport to land i e it's got the latest equipment that can talk to a boeing three three seven three seven like this a western plane and it can basically land itself automatically of course the pilots are in control they can override this but it's a very good aid in case there is bad weather so planes managed to land at heathrow other airports around the world of course in for albeit at a slower pace the tatarstan air company itself is the national air carrier going to court to talk to chris this the minute he's an aviation expert he's going to come on the line in a second it's been going for quite a

now the question of the- "which land? how much land?" is a question that's been going on for a century, and it should be put in perspective, because what we're seeing now is the latest chapter following the six day war of an ongoing discussion of the century. the discussion began a century ago when theodore herzl proposed his uganda plan, which was to say if the idea of zionism is basically to alleviate the situation of jews in europe, which already people felt a century ago to be untenable, then any land would do- uganda as well as palestine- of the time. and this provoked the first great debate within the zionist movement between those who are for seeking sovereignty in the land of israel, and those who said, well, sovereignty can be achieved elsewhere too. this was the first big territorial debate. then the next phase was in the thirties when the british proposed their first division of what was then palestine, which included both banks of the jordan river, the east bank and the west bank of the jordan river, and to divide it into two

while we were landing. there was a very strong vibration. and i thought that it probably was due to the weather conditions but when we were already outside i saw that the weather is actually fine in moscow. plane was shake you too much so there was a feeling. that it was actually kind of shifting from one side to the and it was not comfortable at all it was it feeling. that we might actually live still and in strip. i guess there was. a gasoline or of this is the same plane you're talking about we don't know if it was the same plane but i guess if it was the one that left earlier on. to moscow got there about four o'clock i guess it would have been the same plane still to be confirmed taking off a couple of hours later going back to. that must if it is the case it must be a very weird feeling for you. yes. or even more. gas it is exactly the same flight i how are the number markings on the boarding passes. it was huge to departure in two hours after the arrival. what condition was this plane and you mentioned you had a very rough landing the

moscow tried to land reports say that plane started losing height rapidly as it came into land and the jets nose apparently hit the ground during touched early indicators suggest that cockpit errors were the main cause of the crash possibly technical problems with the jet as well we're also hearing that could have been a crew problem there we also heard tonight that the crew potentially this is all not completely confirmed that the pilot could have been new to the plane maybe what they meant by that was he just wasn't expected be flying it's night or maybe he didn't have many hours in the cockpit of that particular type of plane a boeing seven three seven five hundred series we can tell you because an international airport is going to stay close for at least the next two hours because the mess though to deal with there obviously as you'd expect the jet itself as a said was a boeing seven three seven five hundred have been in use for the past twenty three years it had quite a history as well i've just been trying to research that plane it's been owned since its manufacture back in one t

they show that the lands, anywhere from 40 to 90 percent more productive than the lands held in trustd as he said, these indians to have their land under their trusteeship of the federal government to my can't borrow against them. they are really locked into a poverty cycle as a result. john: pretty amazing that no group has been more taking care of by big government and the indians, and no group in america has done worse. >> fundamentally the group -- root of the problem is the fact that we don't have the same property rights as others take for granted, and that has to fundamentally change. we have to be able to recognize the collective ownership and free the imagination of the individual entrepreneur. we had economies that went back many, many millennia and were successful until 1492. john: indians had a form of property rights before white settlers came here and mess that up. some indians actually owned the salmon streams. they manage those streams so that they let the larger salmon go up to spawn. the result is that even today those streams have larger salmon and the streams that

craft is about to land the crew have to monitor very carefully. indications of them both on. for some reason they see indication locally or they should immediately exercise go around procedure otherwise they will crash land well as you can. as you've been talking here in. the news has been coming in about this over the last forty minutes or so first of all we heard there were two attempted landings now russian aviation officials are saying there were three attempts to land that we don't know why this would have surely passed or it should raise some alarm bells surely if there's been one attempted touchdown to attempt to touch them when we're talking about three is that no. you know when i was if i did not for some reason if i did a sex life i would certainly go to another airport and the aircraft should have enough fuel water. to the airport ok so i don't really make sense why the aircraft was making three attempts to rent and moreover i just heard on the news. in fact try to help only once and there was only one landing at them so the information is very confusing at this po

if it actually landed on the top of the actual landing. internationally. this seemed to be some conflicting information that was coming through the area on saying that it could have been a technical error and now we're hearing that it could have been a crew arrow we know that people were on board that flight forty six of them were the passengers and we know the six of them was the crew on board the. scene from. looking at is that we know that emergency services is at right now they're trying to. take this all was a while. the actual plane crash and we don't know if that plane the fire was the cause of the crash landing that happened or it was another extension of what happened we know is there the airport has been shot at the moment. and it's all right now trying to piece together the pieces of what really happened and it was indeed why they only people on that flight and when did they leave and the details of really what happened hopefully we'll get details from the black box within the pilot if they can recover that but it will keep up v

and park land and they will be operating that on itself. now the shipyard park parcels and the shipyard community parcels. this map generally shows where things are in the shipyard. phase one which is kind of the two gold areas in the white horseshoe there in the middle of the parkland, that's hill top and hillside about 75 acres in phase one and phase two is the rest of the shipyard and candlestick point there on the other side. the ship yard parcels is there, and it's about 21 acres and we have accepted 200 acres in parkland in phase two. one of the buildings in phase one has a module plan on it. additionally it was from your memo from the community facilities parcel. the disposition plan for that in what i'm going present today an appears in your memo. it's one of the park parcels in phase one. the shipyard community parcels there are green and those are comprised of vacant land and studios of building 813 which is slaetd for king tech incubator. then i'm going skip the enforceable obligation and go to the disposition. for the park parce

where the land surface is flat, the water table beneath it is also flat. but where the land is hilly, the water table will also have an irregular surface with high and low parts roughly corresponding to the overlying topography. in valleys, the zone of saturation may rise to meet the earth's surface at river and lake beds. when the rivers and lakes are full, a continuous supply of new groundwater recharges the zone of saturation, and water flows from the surface into the ground. however, during the dry summer months when surface water levels are low, groundwater may flow in the opposite direction, providing the rivers and lakes with their only supply of water in the absence of rain. this phenomenon is called effluence. where groundwater flows out through an opening to the surface-- as, for example, along a joint or a fault-- springs form. most springs flow year-round, even through the long hot months of summer when they might be expected to dry up. this is because the water that comes out of the ground in the summer may well have started its journey the pr

he we don't own any improvements, but we lease the land. we lease all the land in which all the improvements sit. the children's garden, the child center and the ice skating center. so here, again, we've had conversations with the city about this and with these stake holders out there and yes, -- yerba buena gardens and the plans are to transfer the assets of the city and continue to manage in some unified fashion. and the city has stated publically they are committed to keeping them together and managing them together but the exact management structure has yet to be determined whether it be some city department or separate non-profit or possibly some separate authority. but the estimated transfer date here is sometimes 2015, probably. and the city could then continue to use the funds from these leases, all the leases would transfer. they can use the funds to operate the gardens, but the money for the capital improvement is another thing that has yet to be determined but we are looking into several options about the city about how capital i

a land renowned for floods, mudslides and famine. but with the fanfare comes the hope of change for the better. my name is john d. liu. i've been documenting the changes on the plateau for 15 years. i first came here in 1995 to film an ambitious project where local people were constructing a new landscape on a vast scale. transforming a barren land into a green and fertile one. the project certainly changed my life, convincing me to become a soil scientist. the lessons i've learned in the last few years have made me realize that many of the human tragedies that we regularly witness around the world, the floods, mudslides, droughts and famines, are not inevitable. here on the loess plateau i've witnessed that people can lift themselves out of poverty. they can radically improve their environment. and by doing so, reduce the threat of climate change. >> [singing] >> when i first came to the loess plateau, i was astounded by the degree of poverty and degradation. and i wondered, "how could the chinese people, the largest ethnic group on

we're having landing gear problems. we're going to crash land. emergency landing, crash land at l.a.x., but thought i'd leave you a message just in case, what is i love you and everything is going to be groovy. love to my mom and family, let them know that i love them. that's it. >> meanwhile, the flight attendants are busy preparing the passengers. >> at this time, remove all heil-heeled shoes and sharp objects. >> i think the scariest moments for me, it was when they're explaining to us, you need to decide how you want to brace yourself for this emergency landing. >> if you want to assume the alternate brace position -- >> you have a choice. you can either go, put your arms up there and lean against the thing, or you can put -- lean down and put your head between your knees. but just the fact that i'm considering what position do i want to crash in, was very scary for me. >> luckily, barbara is spared the horror of watching the ordeal on live television, but the news manages to reach her. >> i made a phone call to a friend of mine, and he abrup

and they did not believe in ownership of land they believe that what land you were on belong to the great spirit so to speak and you were there today whatever buffalo you kill do you think the great spirit and you move so the idea of ownership of land monetary exchanges even the old the old man met jim bridger and carson and sam they knew that when they were trading iron pots or the accoutrements of civilization blankets for buffalo beaver pelts first and by. fellow rubes they know that the indians wouldn't get what trade meant so we're going to bestow these gifts of iron pots and blankets on you and you'd be stowed these gifts of buffalo robes on us that's what i meant once again i'm not sure if they would evolve perhaps they would i can't answer the question yeah you know we have a lot to learn from the way that they treated this land and each other you guys and anyone who's been to a reservation knows that can see no industrial complex that has taken over these lands have that manifest i don't really understand how this manifested in and completely infiltrated and how does it aff

land use and ownership are sensitive issues. some feel allowing whites on to the farm the rest of the world could get the impression that black farmers can't cope and land reform has famed. >> let's talk to the zimbabwean analyst george shera. the issue of land reform in zimbabwe is divisive. are black farmers right to question the motive of white farmers who want to come back into the sector? >> well, let me put it this way. what we have in zimbabwe now is an irresistable position in which the land subdivision is complete. almost anyone can get into commercial farming and anyone who needs access to land to conduct a farm can do so. the atmosphere existed where black and white farmers can work together to stablilize the agriculture sector for the good of the economy. that's the first. the problem for the white community is that - is an historical one. they have been part or seem to be part and parcel of the network of people interested in regime change. resisting land reform. they come on to the table without that package. peopl

but a new procedure for landing planes hopes to improve that. it's nicknamed casper. >> it stands for closely spaced parallel runways. it's a new faa procedure that applies to sfo and a few other airports around the country. >> reporter: airports like boston and seattle. here's how cspr works. on bright sunny days planes can land at sfo side by side touching down on two different runways no problem. but when bad weather would strike, this kind of landing wasn't allowed. planes could only land in a single file line leading to long delays for passengers. cspr changes that allowing planes in bad weather to land staggered like this. a small plane paired up with a bigger plane a shorter 1 1/2 miles apart. the hope is cspr will allow the airport to land about five to ten more planes a day in bad weather. >> anything we can do to shorten the amount of delays we experience would be beneficial. >> reporter: no hard and fast numbers yet on how cspr is doing but passengers we found aren't delayed possibly a sign it's off to a good start. >> but so far, we

one grenade landed between my legs and one grenade landed behind trimble. and he took the full blast of the grenade. and they were japanese grenades. thank god they weren't ours. besides the bayonet wound, his back was peppered. i looked down at my crotch and i couldn't believe what i saw. both my legs were broken, and i was bleeding profusely. at the same time, a japanese jumped into the pit. he had on a mine, a mine looked like a first base man's bag, you know, baseball bag. if you go to the museum, you'll see it. they call it grenade 90, the japanese called them grenade 90, and there's one on exhibit there. and it had four magnets in each corner. and that was to put on the tank and try to blow a hole into the tank. well, this soldier had it wrapped to his body and he wrapped himself around trimble, pulled the cord, and the japanese -- it blew out. the japanese just evacuated and trimble was cut in half. blanchard and white came and got me. they dragged me into their hole. and it was about quarter to 4:00 in the morning. and they put turnakits on me, and

sometimes they're developing the land, sometimes they're selling the land. now, historically when they've developed the land, they've lost money developing the land, so a few years ago, they basically stopped developing the land and just concentrated on selling it. a few weeks ago, they announced that they sold two-thirds of their land, which is the main asset of the company, and they got about $5 or $6 a share for it. so i was discussing this at home, at the dinner table -- my 7th grade son, he's using pre-algebra, and he was -- he was just discussing his math that day, and st. joe kind of occurred to me, so i told him what was going on at work. i said, look, you have this company, st. joe, they just sold two-thirds of their land for $5 or $6 a share, i think i said five at the dinner table. how much is all of st. joe worth? and he thought for a minute, and he said, $7.50 a share. and i said, that's absolutely right. but its stock is at 18. sand he said, well, why is that? i said, well, you don't learn that in math. you learn that in philosophy, and maybe y

so this would have no impact on gas produced on state lands, indian lands, private lands. it just simply says that that approximately 15% of the natural gas being produced on federal land could not be exported, must be used domestically to keep prices down here at home, to advantage manufacturers here at home. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from oregon reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from washington rise? mr. hastings: mr. chairman, i rise to claim time in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. hastings: i yield myself two minutes and 30 seconds. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. hastings: thank you, mr. chairman. a similar amendment like this has been offered multiple times in our committee markups and they have always failed by a bipartisan vote and similar amendments like this have also failed on the floor. this is nothing more than an effort to make production on federal lands more challenging and less valuable. the vast majority of the natural gas that's produced in the uni
