mark and lynn, thank you very much. mark and lynn will be back in just a minute. but first, it was the most dramatic evidence yet that yemen is emerging as a new and increasingly serious terror concern for the united states and the west. the u.s. government today close its embassy in yemen's capital citing the possibility of terrorist violence. britain has shut down its embassy as well. president obama's assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism explained the decision on cnn's "state of the union." >> i spoke with our ambassador in yemen, ambassador sesh, both this morning as well as last night, and there are indications that al qaeda is planning to carry out an attack against a target inside of sanaa, possibly our embassy, and what we do is to take every measure possible to ensure the safety of our diplomats and citizens abroad. so the decision was made to close the embassy. we're working very closely with the yemeni government on taking the proper security precautions. >> as we've been reporting, u.s. centcom commander general david petraeus was in ye

also here to join in the questioning, lynn stanton, senior editor with telecommunications reports. mr. cohen, if you could very briefly, give us a snapshot of the communication workers of america. >> guest: cwia, as we call it, is 700,000 women and men most of whom work in the communications field, could be broadcasting, could be journalism, could be the largest group works on networks. and we also have several hundred thousand retired members who remain active in many ways. so we're in every state, we're 10,000 in canada including the canadian broadcasting company. active members. interested in their world. >> host: what sort of organizations or what companies do they work for, do your members work for? >> about a thousand different companies, largest are companies like at&t and general electric and verizon and comcast and "the new york times" and, you know, many of the newspapers, all the news agencies. >> host: so when it comes to policy matters, mr. cohen, what are some of the major areas of concern that you concentrate on with cwa? >> guest: obviously, communications policy is

lynn stanton is a senior editor with telecommunications reports. could you tell us what it is really? >> we have been publishing since 1934, everything that affects carriers. >> mr. cohen, you mentioned that you are concerned about the concentration of power and you have already raised red flags, from your perspective, on the comcast-nbc potential conflict. >> we are concerned about that language of putting contact -- content and that work together. -- content and network together. the ideal world would distinguish between content and the pipe. right now, there are huge differences in price points in terms of delivering content. right now, in terms of the cable companies, particularly comcast, who we have a lot of respect for, we would be very worried about what happens to content they do not own versus content they do on. our concern is what happens to the content with this merger, not so much just what happens to the jobs. if a higher and higher percentage of content is owned by a company that accesses homes, what happens to the democracy issue a

what will you be looking at and how will you be doing what you see on the floor through a policy lynns? >> i like to go to the consumer electronics show because it is me one-stop shopping for what is coming over the horizon. i will be looking at whatever they presented me. there is always a surprise there. probably a week from now we should be talking about what i was most surprised about. it will be interesting to see what technology is there to bring more online video content from the internet to your tv set, not just your computer screen. what can we do to make that easier for consumers? a lot of companies are out there trying to make that happen. also, what are some of the new wireless devices out there, what is the latest technology and how is the spectrum being used in ways that we cannot foresee at last year's consumer electronics show? >> as always, we appreciate you coming over to "the communicators." >> coming up,

. >> lynne jones. >> this week has seen the resignation of a member of this house, with mental illness being a factor. i make no comment about individual cases, but as the law stands any member of this house who suffers a bout of serious mental illness can be automatically disqualified from office, no matter what the prospects of recovery. that is wrong, and it would never be tolerated for a physical illness, no matter how debilitating. will the prime minister take the opportunity presented by the constitutional reform bill to implement the speaker's conference recommendation that this wrong should be righted? >> my honorable friend has raised a very important issue. the justice secretary and the health secretary are giving careful consideration to the appropriate way forward, and i understand that we will also respond in due course to the recommendation to the

tom mcglock lynn, the kpts, police captain at westvale police department in utah describes him as demonstrating a frustrating look of cooperation. i think you've heard this story before, nancy. >> we're going to be back with more on susan powell. as we go to break, happy 80th birthday to massachusetts friend benny good luck, a world war ii veteran. he invented the elastic waistband for women's slacks. thank you, benny. he's the proud uncle of 14 nieces and nephews. happy birthday, benny. %%%%%

peter lynn heart jujuy thank and acknowledged he was one of the, we were lucky to get his excellent advice and he was one of the reviewers. he sent me a copy of an advertisement for standard statistics that said we don't have to invest in doubles anymore we are not the unsophisticated masses of the south sea bubble in the early 1800's in britain. we have statistical analysis that can allow us to discern valuation. this was an advertisement for standard statistics which was based in new york. and this advertisement appeared in the saturday evening post in september of 1929. weeks before the crash. so you see where i'm going i hope with the "this time is different" syndrome. a very important example of the "this time is different" syndrome was the year was 1995. how many of you remember mexico's peso crisis in 1994, 1995? mexico almost approach to default and what was then a large bailout package was put together from the imf and the u.s. and other of the g-7 economies, and mexico after all was in latin america. so latin america historically has had a history of financial volatility. lots of

chairman joe lieberman and susan kol lynnes. and from california, the chair of the house homeland security subcommittee. and from grand rapids, michigan, the ranking republican on the house committee, pete hoekstra. what did you learn about specifically the plot against flight 253? about al qaeda? and about the yemeni government's capacity to fight this fight? >> i think we learned a number of things. this is a real threat, this is an imminent threat coming from the al qaeda arabian peninsula area. this is kind of a unique threat coming from this group. it's unique because the core group of al qaeda on the peninsula is formed by former gitmo detain knees. there's the influence of an american radical iman. these people have move an attack on the u.s. homeland to the top of their priority list. that is the root cause of what we saw the attack at ft. hood. why we saw the attack on flight 253. the final thing is that, you know, the yemeni government has limited capacity to deal with returning members from gitmo and the indigenous al

the pros by which he chose did not serve sal lynn well either. >> yeah. the book is terrific.ou guys. >> larry thank you. the book is "game change." trust me on this one. this is a summary of it. we'll step away from politics and the heart felt bank on behalf of the fooel people of haiti. tonight go away. "what do you mean homeowners insurance doesn't cover floods?" "a few inches of water caused all this?" "but i don't even live near the water." what you don't know about flood insurance may shock you. including the fact that a preferred risk policy starts as low as $119 a year. for an agent, call the number on your screen. >> larry: we want to thank everyone for their contributions on monday night. we raised $8,944,956 for the people of haiti. the american red cross and unicef will administer the funds. we were wowed by your response and hope you continue to support those that need it the most in the months of years to come. we leave you tonight with the best of "haiti how you can help." thanks, good night. mick jagger, jennifer lopez, ceal, ben stiller and many others are her

check on the thermometer, from lynn in virginia, george sent this in.p in the blue ridge. 9 or 8 degrees. i guess if you're an optimist, that's 9, if a pessimist, that's 8 outside. winds are still gusting to between 25 and 40 miles per hour, all across the area. these are wind gusts, 28 miles per hour in annapolis, 38 in frerick, maryland. windchills, single digits above and below zero. it will be a cold day outside today. hot chocolate is the drink of chike for your sunday afternoon. no snow around here, but you can see a few snow flurries now backing down into northeastern pennsylvania. that's part of big piece of energy going around the major low pressure area in the gulf of maine that's drawing all that cold air down. the windchills are 15 below zero in chicago right now. and the combination of low pressure east of maine and high pressure out here to the west of chicago is going to keep those day long today. so windchills will stay very, very chilly indeed. cold air will be the rule. and as that big storm pulls away, a lite piece of energy is going

and for this homeless woman named lynn, the shelter has been a lifesaver. >> and these people took me in, and you know, that means a whole lot to me. i'm not sleeping outside or anything like that. i'm just grateful for them. >> reporter: darcy spencer, news 4. >> you can hear in her voice how grateful she is. that shelter in arlington will remain open 24 hours a day, as long as the day's high stays below 32 degrees, which it will today. >>> new today, yemen's president is suggesting that he'd be willing to communicate with al qaeda if the group agrees to renounce violence. ali abdullah sulla says he's ready to reach an understanding with anyone who fights against terrorism, including al qaeda. he is still vowing to hunt down al qaeda fighters whorefuse to stop violence. the u.s. is pressuring yemen to crack down on al qaeda. an offshoot of the group in yemen is claiming responsibility for christmas day's failed bombing attempt of a flight bound for detroit. >>> this morning, we're learning more details about the suicide bomber that killed seven cia workers at a base. according to the

former cia director mcglauk lynn has been appointed to lead a small team of national security experts. they'll examine information leading up to the incidents and may address any potential weaknesses reviews and hearings on the detroit bound airliner is well and good, it's time to act like we're a nation at war. pete king urged passage of a keep terrorists out of america act. the bill backed by republicans tried to prevent terrorists held at gitmo from being transferred to u.s. soil. >> it's a good reason why the government has such a hard time transferring these terrorist detainees to other countries. they are the worst of the worst. no one should want them. that's why we put in place a process by which the terrorists should be held and tried as enemy combatants. >> former democratic co-chair of the 9/11 commission thinks that all of washington needs to make counterterrorism a top priority. >> will that sense of urgency that governor cane and i have called fo for since the 9/11 commission happen not just at the presidential level where it has to happen, but the political leadership o

lynn a little more about what he had to say about senator reid's remarks.sten. >> he's apologized, but there was nothing mean-spirited in what he had to say and he's always been on the right side of the issues. the fact we spend days on this instead of talking about the unemployment rate or talking about how we deal with energy or health care is an indication of why i think people don't understand what's happening in washington. i guarantee you the average person white or black right now is less concerned about what harry reid said in a quote in a book a couple of years ago than they are about how are we going to move the country forward. that's where we need to direct your attention. >> what was the president's tenor like? was he frustrated and feel like he wants this to be done probably as much as harry reid wants it to be done. >> he clearly he wanted to address the issue. i was talking to him for a tv one primetime special. i prefaced the question about senator harry reid with the whole issue of being post-racial. let me address harry reid first. even i

each offers us a perspective on the narrative that has been told to us in hamas cue lynn voice and from a masculine point of view. no matter how internately their lives were intertwined with those of their husbands, these women narrate the events in a different tempo and in a different cadence from those men. and their stories, taken together, i believe, and i hope you will agree, help us reconstruct their era with greater depth and greater complexity. thank you.

lynn rogers from the north american bear center has had a relationship with her since she was a cub.o the bear knows her, but i think there was maybe the camera people that were also there and the fact that she got a little bit startled, she did a little bluff and then just kind of wandered off, stood there about ten feet away from the den and we all kind of evacuated the area and hoped she would come back. >> and she did. >> she did, yeah. >> the coolest thing is this is live streaming video from this webcam. can people check in and watch this live? how do they do that? >> yeah. they can go to wildearth .tv or bear.org and just click the player and it's on 24 hours a day and it's infrared so it's lit at night. the bear can't see the light, but the people can. and they can go there any time. there's full sound, which is really amazing. if the cubs are born, the first thing that will happen is people will hear their motoring signs and their whines and what not and the mother bear will really be attentive in taking care of those cubs. >> well, it's very, very exciting stuff. we thank y

all governments of the most free as well this the most despotic geppart of the obligation of bill lynn party wulsin nord to prevent the communication is a violation of natural liberty exactly the same kind in relation to the banking trade which are here proposed but equally justified so there was smith basically making an argument in 17764 quite strict financial regulation. what happened i think after he also made arguments for the government promoting public works and defending the country but that was pretty well-known. the financial regulation argument i don't think is very well-known. what they do is then try to explain how his ideas which i think basically were quite sensible were sort of over the course of a couple of centuries. i want to into details but taking you through the growth of what economists call a general equilibrium. which is very boring in dense and the chicago school which has been less boring in dense, i will spend a bit of time on that. milton friedman, the reed friedman he will see he actually says most of these ideas are adam smith. i am just regurgitating the

the upper left-hand corner of the page, select the watch lynn, now you can view the entire program. hatlore the featured video box to find a recent and future programs. >> in their book, "carjacked", author catherine lutz at end anne lutz fernandez argue that global warming and the price of gasoline are not the only problems presented by america's love of cars. anne lutz fernandez "carjacked" 50 minutes of the new canaan library in new canaan, connecticut. .. >> and spent a beautiful weekend celebration together. but invariably, as it happened over the past prior few years, the conversation turned to the loss of our cousin, christie, in a car crash. and shortly after we lost christie, i lost a good friend in a highway crash. and these two losses had a profound effect on our lives. and we started chewing on the contradictions that the car presents, particularly that contradiction between the intense pleasure that the car brings to us, and the profound losses and tragedies that it also can bring. and on a daily basis, the contradictions between the convenience that the car brings and

jam lynn campbell has done is that there are other things that happen in a combination with unemployment that causes abusors to threaten to kill or to harm. these are additional factors that we always need to look for and that unemployment alone really is not the cause. i think i should also state that we know that shelters help women avoid that kind of abuse during situations where their partner, their husband may be unemployed but also what is helpful is when judges know that they should issue a protection order and when guns should be removed from the home. >> we put extra money in the recovery act. has that money started going out yet? is it having any effect? >> i'm glad you asked that question. >> i thought you might be. >> we have announced 46 formula awards to the states totaling more than $120 million. those awards have been made and this week 29 state coalition awards totaling more than $2.5 million have been made. we are also -- before sometime around the middle of july, we will have made awards through our transitional housing program. we received 567 applications for a recov

berry: lynn wall, there was no mention of president reagan or margaret thatcher except communist gorbachev. so do you see a problem in rewriting the history and why there hasn't been any resistance on our part to sort of counterattack the efforts to rewrite what took place in the 1980's? >> i think that's a very telling comment you made and it was a very telling incident. the president of the united states who removes himself to bring home the chicago olympics, he removes himself for climate change and removes himself to oslo to receive a prize but doesn't show up in berlin on the 20th anniversary of an event of biblical proportions one i'm sure most of us in the room never imagined we would ever see. that tells you how he sees the world, reinforces that quotation. i could have used one of dozens. the one i used was from the general assembly where you can see his priorities and to speak of the cold war divisions as sort of arbitrary and not to see how rooted they were in the fundamental values of the united states as cleavages is simply staggering but it tells you a lot of his world view.

and i do it in conjunction with a woman by the name of lynn anderson who does all of the work, and i take all of the credit, but we have some honor students in that class, and they're way brighter than me, and they challenge me every day, and i hope that i can give them some worldly knowledge about what real life is about, yeah, you know can learn some things in the books, but on the street is another way of learning. >> coach, really appreciate it. thanks so much. >> my pleasure, steve. >> back to you, matt. >> matt: all right, thank you, steve. fran dunphy, 72-46 at temple. he has taken them to two ncaa tournaments, 2008 and 2009. temple on top 32-28. highlights andoyed; families searching for loved ones; parents trying to feed their children. but we can all do something. we can help the american red cross as it delivers the food, water, and medicine that can save lives. donate $10 by texting "haiti" to 9-0-9-9-9. visit redcross.org or call 1-800-red-cross. thanks for your help. . >> matt: welll >>> the big key here is the three-point field goals. 7 of 19 temple shot in the first h

host: minnesota, lynne, democrat. caller: my name is duane. host: are you from minnesota? caller: yes. how comes the government don't want people in poverty to get out of poverty? host: what does that mean, dwayne? caller: i'm a disabled veteran and live with my mother or my mother lives with me. if i make any money over -- basically if i make any money, they're going to cut my veteran pension completely. ok. i'm also on social security. ok. if i make over $800 a month they're going to cut my social security. so you can't make any money at all if you're sitting in a place like i am and me and my mother can't make it right now the way it is. guest: well, first of all, i want to thank you for your service if you're a vish. we appreciate what you did for the country. on the issue of government benefits, i think that's what needs to play out this year. there are big decisions to be made on deficit spending. on the one hand government doesn't want to spend too much because they have we have this deficit problem. on the other hand we are frying to take care of vicious, take care

oregon, lynn on our republican line.s today this minute that it would be dead and we could never do it again for 10 years? i don't understand why if we don't start from the beginning and make it a proper, wonderful bill for all of us that it would work out ferfectly good? it would be better if we started from the beginning and take out 6 -- take out the insurance people, the pharma people, all those people, the unions. start over and i'm sure that the people in congress would want to do it and work on it right away and make it effective for all of us. even the uninsured, they would make it effecty. can you explain that to me, sir. guest: the basic thought on the democratic side, nancy pelosi and others, is that once people see this, it will be much more popular. that would be 2012313. that is a tough case to make because it is several years off. i think democrats realize they are in political jeopardy now. they are likely to lose seats. they need to get this passed wlile they have a strong majority in the senate, whether

next week alf-cio executive vice president or lynn baker, who is right over here, will lead the labor movement commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the lunch counter sit-in's in greens were a north carolina. continuing the great work that she has done over so many years on behalf of the most vulnerable in our society. and not far from greensboro we have been working with unemployed african-american day laborers and workers centers desperately trying to keep, if the dream launched in those cities. in san diego last week i visited a pre-apprenticeship program what formed by the labor movement to create a pass for at risk youth. in los angeles i saw a remarkable come into the sleeper management program created by the workers that is focused on green jobs. see, these programs demonstrate tremendous benefits that are possible when labor and business come together to solve problems jointly. when i was there i met with a man once homeless and he was 19 days away from becoming a journeyman electrician. don the young man said to me the union gave me a chance to go from no life to the hope

the other is lynne mcmahon and a former executive of the world wrestling federation, soared above byhe bootstraps executive who said she's willing to spend $30 million of her own money on the race. there's also an open governor's race in connecticut however so one of those two might decide that they'd rather run for governor. the connecticut politics are as mixed up as they've ever been. >> to north dakota byron dorgan said he will step down at the end of his terms. what were his reasons? >> as was much more surprised than chris dodd. are starting to see the handwriting on the wall for the life of a month. byron dorgan was giving every indication that he wanted to run again for a fourth term. with a profile of him in our magazine just a few weeks ago in which he expressed however some frustration with the way things were going in washington and not only the nature of partisanship but the set of whole combative nature of how things have become the core that if he is somewhat a critic of the obama administration so they're focused on health and climate change was misplaced weird they s

we face a dilemma, which is we want banks to lend and we're encouraging them to lynn. but we certainly don't want them to make bad loans. because of course that's what got us in trouble in the first place. so as i described earlier, we are pushing banks to make loans to credit worthy borrowers. where mceachern examiners examiners are appropriate rebalancing the needs of the borrowers against avoiding excessive risk aversion. we are pushing banks to raise capital, as the bank of america example shows. and we are done quite a bit to restore the church's asian market, which is very important and the united states. that's about one-third of our criticism. it was mostly shut down during the crisis, except for the government guaranteed mortgage markets. and our activities, both in small business lending and also in commercial real estate, have gotten those markets, look like they're in better shape and start to funky. that is very important because it provides a source of funding for the banks that they can then pass on into loans. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> just 30 seco
