to put that in layman's term, romney got the vote of every black republican in iowa. santorum's near victory proves that money hasn't taken over our political process no matter how hard i try. one man with a vision, a willingness to work hard and a laser-like homophobia can still make a mark. but santorum scored an even bigger victory last night because this morning for the first time in eight years, when i googled the word "santorum," the first result was for rick santorum. yes. [cheering and applause] the cruel definition of a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter was fittingly at number two, so senator santorum, i hope you're feeling a frothy mixture of pride and hope. sadly, it was a rough night for newt gingrich, coming in fourth place thanks to a blistering barrage of negative ads. in december nearly half of all political commercials in iowa were attacks on newt gingrich. it got so bad even non-political ads went after him. ♪ i'm loving it unlike newt gingrich ♪ who left his wife >> stephen: now, most of these ads were produced by the pro-romney super pac. but

as he has directed the jury, he was very careful to lay everything out in layman's terms. he has said to the jury, though the nation may be swayed by the lawrence family, this is not about sympathy. this is about the evidence. he was very cool and calm to the jury. he said today the sentences may be lower than some would expect. he said the gravity of this case -- given that it is murder, it's a different order from one that would be a quarrel a stabbing after a quarrel -- that would be a corquarrel, a stabbing after a quarrel. ," he says.rime <' h they have expressed no remorse. they have said nothing too the loris family to alleviate suffering of the lawrence -- they have said nothing to the lawrence family. they have said nothing to alleviate the suffering of the family. the judge says the starting point is 12 years. he says that because it is a racist crime, the sentence should be increased to take this into account. we are starting at 12 years for men who were juveniles at the racist stabbing and murder of stephen lawrence. the judge says it should be increased. the j

. >> the layman term for high efficacy are fluorescent. >> they're developing other types. >> you have to count the lights and count the wattage and actually submit that sometimes with your permit. that's why undercabinet lights are good, you can put a lot of fluorescent lights there and meet that requirement. you can do also overcabinet lights and have ambient light as well. >> if you put a new window in, you have to meet energy standards for windows. what else can we do to make it a green kitchsnn >> you have to remember the lighting on the hood, many of these, like your hood sounds to be fairly large a lot of them are hall general lighting. you have to count the wattage in that hood along with all the rest of the lighting in your house. >> what else is green? we could use flooring materials. >> every option you can pick something green. so bamboo cabinets are very popular. you can do, you know, the resingled glass countertops. you can do, there's a product called marmoleum, like linoleum floor, that's green material. mu yao pick energy star appliances. so every -- you pick energy st

you can understand it in layman's terms. the general public can understand it. we teach that mental illness is just like physical illness, it's just like diabetes, it's just like heart disease in that it's disabling, it's real, but it's also treatable. the more people who know where referral sources are, the more that they will refer. and quite often people hesitate because they don't know what to do even if they identify a problem. when i heard that there was a concrete way that i could learn how to react, that was very appealing to me. let the person know that you're available to talk when they are ready. mental health first aid does not teach people how to diagnose mental illness, it does not teach people how to treat mental illness. it's a first aid course. remember we talked about substance use disorders co-occurring with other mental, forms of mental illness. someone may self-medicate if they are depressed or self-medicate if they are anxious. substance use disorders are, in fact, disorders. they aren't just bad behavior or weak will. it is a mental health

. >> tell me in layman -- >> discharge the battery. >> what does that mean? >> think of connecting a giant light bulb to that battery and just run it down. >> okay. got it. >> sorry for the inarticulation. >> thank you very much. and welcome to the committee. >> thank you. >> i would find it very difficult to imagine an america that did not make its own cars. so i am pleased that the president was able to report in his state of the union the progress that the car industry has done achieved in america. i'd like to quote one line. he said today general motors is back on top as the world's number one automaker. and a report i read last week said that there are over 700,000 jobs created by the auto industry now in america. i'd like to put that report in the record. i think that it's clear that this car that gm has made has been caught up in the middle of politics. and some members appear more interested in making wild allegations for political purposes than in recognizing a promising technological breakthrough. i'd like to ask you, and give me a yes or no answer,

saying as many nasty things about roosevelt as he did his -- the opposing democratic candidate herbert layman. the reason i mention all of this is that it's amazing, fast forwarding to 1940-41 that roosevelt brought donovan into his cabinet. roosevelt formed a coalition cabinet at that time and not only had donovan a rising republican star, he had frank knox who became the secretary of the navy who had run for the gop nomination to be president and henry stimp son an old line republican party. i can't imagine a modern-day president giving that many people the opposite party to head up the senior civilian national security team and in fact, people in the white house back then were very, very worried about this and they were asking questions among themeses about what are they doing running a farm team here for the republican party one day. >> july 1941, roosevelt signs an executive order setting up what was then called a coordinator of information and later be called the oss. >> there was a one-page document, very vaguely written and it said colonel donovan and they collect information of natio

critics who say he hasn't helped himself in some ways and perhaps that that's true but on the way a layman let's get into some of that has regrets for certain things that he wished that he would have done differently over the past year i've asked him that question and he said that of course i would have there are things i would have done differently my life otherwise i wouldn't be i hate those people who would never do anything differently specifically about what happened in sweden when he was alleged in these two cases of sexual misconduct he said he should have taken it more seriously i don't at the time he had just become a worldwide celebrity and i and i and i truly believe that when he was told about these things he just didn't he thought it was some sort of. it was a big deal and i think that was a severe miscalculation that he's paid a very serious price for i mean because of that he's been under house arrest for the past year something and it's been politicized to trial clearly and from his perspective i understand why he's worried about being extradited let's move on to like i sai

. >> the students demonstrate in layman's terms how to do easy things around the house like installinglaying ceramic tile. the students get to exercise their carpentry skills. the host has caught the other important skills progress being on camera and talking in front of people. i have become more relaxed. >> it is a great experience. it is fun. getting better in front of the camera, talking to people. my communication skills of gotten a lot better. >> the program has been so successful there plans to expand to other areas to involve students and other areas. >> heating and air-conditioning, plumbing, automotive. it is all going on in baltimore county public schools. we can create small projects from all those programs. >> you can find a link to the schedule and episodes at wbaltv.com. >> that is all for us at 5:00. >> it is surprise announcement by gov. o'malley today could impact your driving habits. details are still ahead. >> a rally against same-sex marriage. i will have that story next. >> mayor stephanie rawlings- blake announces her choice for the new director of finance. it do

>>neil: you are much more attuned to your neck of the woods but how i read this if my layman's assessment would be when you are going to a closing, and your lawyers telling you, you are not going to have any problems everything is approved and we have the forms but you do not have your check for the realtor or your check for: occupancy clearance from the town officials, in other words, you might be on parent ready to go but you don't have the papers to say you are ready, so you can't go, and the closing is delayed. that is essentially what the montana governor was saying, you guys in nebraska, not trying to cause any fights between you, but you guys were not ready, and, they could not close and now you goes blaming president obama. >>guest: well, that's not entirely accurate. the fact is we had a route through the environmentally sensitive part of nebraska that was okay with the state department. so, this is when time where i think, i understand what you are saying, transcanada is perfectly willing to go ahead with what i would describe as a conditional "yes," with the understanding that

in layman's terms, what is a caucus and how does it differ from a primary such as the one that will happeneek? >> the easiest way to think about it is it's a less formal contest. a primary there voting levers and something run by the state. this is run by the party. this happens and it's kind of like neighborhood meetings and people getting to and there will be party business that is att d attended to in 1700 precinct locations and turn in pieces of paper with the candidate and add them up and hand them in. it's a lot different than the democrats and a lot more complicate and thresholds and gymnasiums. there is none of that and it is a secret ballot, but less formal than a primary. >> i get the process, but given iowa is largely rural and white and small demographic, does having iowa first on the calendar force the candidates to take more ideal originically radical positions? for that particular electorate in iowa, that's what voters want to hear. >> that's the risk in any primary. i do think that is why you see more conservative candidates do well. about one of six registered caucus goers

higgins' prison job is as an inmate adviser, a sort of layman defense lawyer. >> therefore, inmate hull is being charged with dsa, drug screen alter. >> i did this for a reason, was because i'm coming up for parole here in less than three months, and i needed a way to delay that, to delay getting out. i'm not ready to get out. >> lieutenant vance, the d-board chairman, has a tendency to have an attitude of don't know, don't care, when it comes to your personal problems. all he really wants to address is what's in the write-up. >> ziggy faces several potential penalties for attempting to alter his drug screen, including time in the hole, a loss of his prison job, and even a judgment that can make his whole plan backfire, a transfer to another prison. >> that's one punishment i really don't look forward to is being transferred somewhere else. >> ziggy's reluctance to leave prison became all the more puzzling when we learned some of what he'd endured during his 30 plus years of incarceration. >> i was not born gay and every relationship i've had has been a forced type, a, well, this is wha

little better, it will drag us more slower for a long time, but the big question, will they have a layman type event. when greece defaults, as i think it will this year, will it be a lehman -- lay man type event. i think it will not be as immediately catastrophic to be decisive in the november 2012 election, although it is certainly a key wild card. >> that's a very good point to end on, that europe has been in what feels like a recession for some time. that going on may not be the end of the world. but if there's a run on a bank, if there's a credit crisis, we know that we are all attached by that string, and that will affect somebody trying to get a loan for a car right here in the united states. thanks to all of you. what a great, smart discussion. will cain, alexis glick, the ceo of gen youth foundation, it's a very interesting organization. of course ken rogoff, one of the smartest men on the planet. he is professor at harvard university and the chief economist of the international monetary fund. >>> last week we focused on capitalism being on trial and we found out just what needs t

for the layman, what is the volcker rule and why do you support it? >> the rule simply says, "if you have a customer who wants to issue a bond, you could help him. but you can't trade in the bond market for your own account." and so what the rule does is it basically puts the banks back into the customer business and allows the wall street community to be in the pure trading and the business of speculation and hedge funds and so forth. and it separates those. >> sounds to me like you're calling the glass-steagall act back from the grave. >> i think i am. >> because? >> i just think it's better that we have that barrier than not. it makes sure that the fdic guarantee doesn't provide a funding base for proprietary trading activities. remember, the government guarantees your savings account and mine in the local bank. and, correctly, we don't want the government's guarantee for those accounts to act as a funding base for somebody who's speculating in the market. and so it's that kind of separation. it's a prudent barrier. and i'm astounded that anybody w

explain that in layman's terms.lk about your problems to a doctor, he will answer everything, but we don't do that. we go in and just get a test, don't ask the questions that we need to ask. >> dr. melancon, what are the important tests to get, to ask for? >> yeah, so, it's very important to ask the doctor, you know, is my blood pressure normal? and if it's abnormal, what does that mean? do i need medication? what kind of follow-up should i get? should i get blood tests? what is my kidney function like? do i have diabetes? a common misconception is that you could have a little bit of the diabetes or a little bit of hypertension. that's not true. once you're diagnosed, you have a problem, you have an illness that needs to be treated and followed up upon. so many patients that i've seen over the years were diagnosed but never got treated or did not get appropriately treated, and then wind up having kidney disease many years later. so, it's very important that once you're diagnosed, you get treated. >> all right, we've

. >> brian: dave, i got to ask you, putting it in layman's terms, why is it beneficial to the economy else's? why is it better to have that number smaller? >> the bottom line is this: the question is, where is the money best left? is it best left in the hands of people or in the hands of government? we have a tired and desperate p. he started out with a lot of hope and a lot of vigor and he really wanted to apply his philosophies of life and economics to our economy. we have three years of doing that now and keynesian economics is a failure. the fruit is out there. this idea that the government takes from people and invests in the economy to move the needle is a proven failure. it might have worked years ago. but the ratio of the size of government to the size of our economy is so small, that you can't move the needle. you could take all the money from the rich and build bridges with it and it won't move the needle. it's not big enough. >> gretchen: right. $15 trillion debt and growing. dave ramsey g to see you on a wednesday. we'll see you again next week. have a great day. >> thanks

can you explain in layman's terms why they should not worry too much when inflation -- if the cpi is different than the pce? the second question is related to the targeted one. the fed has been vague in terms of what sort of inflation it would accept. criticism of the federal reserve and the institution itself has been so intense. there are people out there if you are going to say the federal reserve just admitted it. how are you going to respond to those people? the answer the question about the pce. >> we chose the pc index for is some valid technical reasons. it better accounts for changes in people's purchasing patterns. people will tend to move to other types of goods and services when things get too expensive. that is not accounted for by the cpi. the pce includes all health- care costs, and not just out of pocket costs. that has two benefits. one iss it reduces the s-- it reduces the share as it is tied to housing. the cpi is devoted to housing. a large part of that index is made up numbers. that is one benefit. not to put too much weight on the housing nuers. ht the other is

can you explain in layman's terms, something that regular folks might understand, why they should notoo much when inflation, if the c.p.i. is different than the p.c.e.? and the second question is related to, also to inflation and to the targeting, the fed has always been vague in terms of what sort of inflation it would accept. this is a market cheage. because criticism of the federal reserve, criticism of you, but the institution itself, has been so intense this year, because it's a political year, there are people out there who are going to say, the federal reserve has finally just admitted it, their policy is to destroy 2% of the value of my dollars every year. how are you going to respond to those people? and also could you answer the question about the c.p.i. and p.c.e.? thank you. >> sure. we chose the p.c.e. index for some, i think, very valid technical reasons. it better allows, better accounts for changes in people's purchases -- purchasing patterns. when some things become more expensive, people tend to move to other types of goods and services. that's not accounted for by t
