they had that laster. this year they sailed through. they were approved without any conditions. morgan stanley, same thing. they announced the dividend increase and a buyback in the last hour or so. we are starting to see more banks trickle out with announcements. here's what our capital plan is. >> bank of america is going to be boosting the orderly to the den. these stress tests are going to go on and on. but every year they says they are going to raise the bar. getting into the details, having the processes in place to make this a strong system. >> we are talking with michael moore, finance reporter here at bloomberg news. we want to bring in another individual. what is your take on the news that we got from the financials here? >> i think it is not too surprising. we expect there would be these mix of results. there would be some objections on qualitative grounds by the fed. maybe a few surprises in a list. i don't want to talk about specific firms. but we were pretty sure we would see some of the firms that were new word to the process, qualitative objections. >> i'm joined

i wa in asia last summer and the president earlier laster said that he was going thave a to aia and they want the u.s. involved in asia as they worry about china's the jansenism and bullying. we don't have enough of resident said that he was right to do this. nothing. >> let's look at his options you want i' sorry, i have to interrupt you. we just received word that the pentagon had suspended all thoughts with russia. >> we're now seeing what the range of options on it. and i think it is a moment in the president is doing everything that he can do. to do what fred said. >> i find it utterly stupefied. and when we hear this, they are going to do this or do that. and when the world was it not the resnsibility of the president of th united states, not to call them names, not to sit there and order thehem aroud to the things to get out. this is not the language of an american president. >> tt's right, we have surprised him was something they don't want to do. >> so why didn't he listen to mitt romney? this is not complicated. a map two i happen to agree with the president on that one. our en

we brought a lot of momentum out of laster. later, we show the next part of our family.unaway success. i think we can continue to move ahead strongly. >> is 2014 day european car market gains traction? the first signs of recovery. not in every country. it is continuing this year. spain, 1/3 precrisis level. 1% off.een we see challenges in france and italy. germany, i think we'll move -- will move a few percentages off. whimsy a turn in your what a by no means will it be over -- we will see a turn in europe but abide nobody's willing to be over. >> you talk about spain. good contracts driving. that sustaining organic story. chris the interesting parallel if you look at both sides of the atlantic, the difficult times as in the same time. the u.s. and this year is probably on the precrisis growth the level. europe, same timeframe is on the bottom. i think that tells the story right. it will probably take a couple of years. but how much exposure to russia? >> quite a bit. we have strong sales and we see potential in the market. the dynamics of the market is under somewhat of

the president laster put out an all french to republicans and said he was willing to make changes toial security, medicare and other entitlement programs. those are all gone this year. for republicans to look at these budgets in the lines of what the established last year in terms of topline numbers under the agreement, this budget is something that will not move in the house of republicans. are viewed asts more of political documents as opposed to policy proposals. >> that really is right. especially this year. yep midterms coming up in november. the white house wanted to lay out policy priorities going forward to follow through on over the next eight months. the president laid a bunch of these out in his state of the union. inequality issue. what you are seeing here and now is those policies put into writing. senate democrats have already said they're not going to do their own budget. this probably the most detailed proposal you will see from democrats that lawmakers can pull bits and pieces of on the campaign trail in the year ahead. >> bloomberg is on the markets. alix steel is h

one of the core dimensions here is the fact that laster the economy grew 1.9% with this culture from government spending from 1.3 points. without that fiscal tightening, the u.s. economy would have been growing over 3%. as you head into this year, the fiscal drag am assuming policy the fiscal rat -- drag those 2.5 this year and down 2.3 beer after. that reduction is terribly important in setting the stage for growth to actually pick up. we also have to keep your expectations realistic your it is not that long ago we got 3% growth was moderate. it is not going to create an inflation problem. very depressed. the economy will can need to be heavily dependent on low interest rates for a long time. i do not think the fed will until least 2015. to change for guidance. the unemployment rate will drop under 6.5% over the next couple of months. the reality is the employment rate is like giving you a fair depiction of what is happening in the labor market because of the drop in participation. ultimately i think the fed will wind down tapering. rates are not going to move up for a very long tim

this witness, lugene laster, knew him and said he saw him and left in a station wagon that looked liket in wayne's car. in court lester would identify wayne williams as the driver. >> lugene laster pretty much an eye witness said you gave a ride to jo-jo bell in your station wagon. >> okay. >> did you? >> no, i did not. >> williams did not deny he was the driver. he instead insisted his passenger had to be someone else. jo-jo bell was never to be seen again. >> it would be horrendous if another child dies, period. >> a week later, sammy davis jr. and frank sinatra came to atlanta for a concert to benefit the children. the photographer up on stage, that's wayne's father, homer williams, with the black newspaper "atlanta world." >> how come you got no tuxedo on there on the stage looking like that there? >> backstage with sammy davis jr. in a photo which made the front page, that's future mayor kasim reed. >> i remember that. that's so cool meeting frank sinatra. >> as a young child, reed would help the volunteers searching atlanta's woods every saturday. >> we literally would walk throu

laster we have a total of about 132 reports that were for incidents that occurred prior to service. this year the number is 621. >> that is a huge increase. they are eligible. a related question. we have heard from survivors that after they report the assault and the attempt to seek mental help treatment they were diagnosed with a personality disorder and are discharge. this is labeled as a pre-existing condition and cut off services for the survivor. many survivors have said after the assault they still wanted to stay in the military. because of the diagnoses of personality disorder, they work it out. what has your experience been with that issue? what is the best way to adjust this? what we have done is that no one can meet the military or be separated for a personality disorder without a complete medical review. we make sure that there is no underlying tbi that is causing the action or behavior or psychological health issue that needs to be addressed. we have put a mechanism in place to make sure we have safeguarded it and people are not leaving without a second look by medical p

laster during the shutdown, he was thought to be on his last leg. he decided to go through with a shutdown because conservatives were pushing him in that direction. to my surprise and the surprise of others, john boehner has emerged in a stronger position because he went through with the shutdown. conservatives have applauded him. they said this is a speaker that speaks for us. there are a lot of retirement rumors out there that after maybe the midterms he would retire and go back to ohio one maybe his new condo in florida, but i actually ran into him, and i said i had one question, and room,s hustling room-to- and i said a lot of people think your purchase of a condo signals looming retirement, and he looked at me and laughed and i said you do not have a comment, and he said that is absolutely not true. so in this interview with "the cincinnati inquirer," and his brief exchange with the "washington post," he is pushing back and retirement rumors. it does not necessarily mean he is a leader in divided government, but in terms of political survival,

sko it fe so it feels to you like a longer laster trend rather than a niche fad?t's definitely not a fad. people ask me, is juice press a fad? is being healthy a fad? is wellness a fad? i would say we're at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wellness category. we have so many products out there trying to get to the consumer to make them feel better, to make them healthier, have healthier lifestyles, more active lifestyles and juice press has taken off. and really the consumer is going to tell you if the product is good. they're going to tell you if you have a business plan that's going to work. like i said, 2 to 15 in 2 1/2 just shows that business model is to scale. >> let's talk baseball. opening day is just around the corner. how is the wrist? i know yankee fans want to know that? for that matter, so do your opponents? >> it's a process. it's getting better, and stronger every day. i have a lot of rust to knock off and strength to build up in the wrist. i feel good. i've been putting in a lot of work, making sure the wrist is healthy trying to get my s

of the breach, was there more than multiple data in what happened in target and the last part of laster? >> two types of data was removed early in december. mid december, december 19, 40 million credit card account numbers have been removed from our systems. we also, on january 10, provided notice that certain personal information included names, address, e-mail and phone number, and various combinations, had also been removed. >> i find her stand this, you had all the information for all 40 million people? >> that is correct. it would be relatively simple process. there was at least 12 million of the records, and likely more than that. >> you didn't know who that related to, is there a new -- who could you have notified if he wanted to notify an individual customer that the card had been shared in ways you wouldn't have wanted? >> given the nature, we have the best way to notify customers was broad disclosure. we did so on december 19. we did so again related to the personal data. we augmented that public disclosure. we e-mailed 17 million guests. in the second case, 47 million guests.

business have just renewed their policies from laster said they are still -- they still have their oldlicy so it will be later this year when they have to make decisions. the larger number is those who have to sign up at march 31. what is the administration have to do to meet that number? then to meet the number? guest: i believe they were aiming for six or 7 million. the individual deadline is by the end of the month. as far as i know, small businesses have more flexibility and can go into this mall business exchange at any time or go to the insurance broker and renew a policy. host: just in from tennessee. small business owner. caller: i have a small business with one employee currently and a lot of independent contractors. the market here in chattanooga, and it is very important for the individual policies. having been on the other side of that, independent contractor in the industry and not accessing insurance over the past 10-15 years, i think it is a great idea what is going on. think eventually we could eliminate the companies from the industry. because it that way -- cut out th

laster it was in the middle of february. .year you had people trying to export as much as possible in january. when they come out of the holiday, the import quickly. there are these distortions. last year we had all of the fake invoicing that inflated numbers last year. it made it even harder to assess the true picture. always difficult at this time of year. this was a sharp drop off. exports falling 80.1% from a year ago. 7.5%.dian was if you combine january and february, exports, it fell 1.6%. that is the most for that period since 2009. the most in five years. 2009, iny and february the beginning stages of the global financial crisis, is when growth really slim down to the 6% range. but as with the exports fell off. we are seeing a similar pattern right now. we are not in the global financial crisis. it adds to the concerns about to slowing economy mystically. china's crackdown on excessive credit. now investors have to worry about waning demand from overseas. there could be seasonal factors as well because of weather patte

laster, i suggested the irs need to revisit these rules to provide greater clarity. as to what is considered a political activity for purposes of making a 501 designation, the rules proposed by the irs have attested to do just that in my opinion. i cannot say whether the irs struck the right balance, but i do know that they will take any and all concerns seriously though for finalizing them. however, this committee cannot help the irs and these reforms did we do not adequately fund agency. fiscal year 2014 appropriations gave the irs more than the sequester level, but the irs is still being funded at its lowest level since fiscal year 2008. if we care about the fair implementation of our tax laws, this is simply unacceptable. y'all know at this level of funding, every additional dollar even to the irs allows them to bring in at least six dollars from taxes. we cannot ask more from the irs and provide them with less. that is not a good recipe for tax compliance or the nation. i hope the hearing will be of use as we discussed funding levels. i am concerned we might be

laster, the boston marathon bombings brought the unpredictable nature of terrorism into focus once again. americans have come to understand that the might of our military will not stop terrorists from trying to attack our streets. fragments of intelligence only tell a full story if the information is shared with the right people. . represent north new jersey i have seen firsthand the death and destruction caused by terrorist attacks and natural disasters. both the 9/11 attacks and hurricane sandy were deadly, heartbreaking and cost significant economic damage. the nature of terrorism demands a very different preparedness, response and medication approach than approaching a storm or other natural disaster. new jersey's first responders were some of the first to attend the aftermath of 9/11. they again were called to respond following hurricane sandy. depending on the type of disaster, what is asked of our first responders is vastly different. asking any firefighter, what is the demand of him in response to a traditional fire is vastly different from what is required to respond to a blaze
