and as massey in west virginia several reports about what happened in the big branch, upper big branch coal mine explosion, explicitly links it to massey's political contributions and activity in west virginia. they had 65,000 violations of law, of the mining safety act. nothing has been change. they ran to set the book. bobby kennedy calls them a criminal enterprise. they were like a rogue, out of control corporation who kills people as result. on a larger national scale, that's really what citizens united is about. it's sort of the endgame of what's happened in west virginia and other places but senator whitehouse took to the fore after the bp disaster, and it came out that bp and other oil, oil executives were literally in bed with government officials who were supposed to be regulating them. and this is what he said. so it's a reading from the book but it is actually his work because i couldn't find any myself that were better than this. this is what he said on the floor. have we now learn what price must be paid when the wealthy -- i'm sorry come when the stealthy as corporate inf

. >> and meet david al massey, who on this day s trying to call attention to the massive federal debt by asking people to pay more to the federal government. and his organization, the national center for public policy research, has also secureed a permit to demonstrate on freedom plaza. sometimes the lefties and righties cross paths. >> while they were telling customers to invest in ceos, they were betting against them. >> uh. >> and that is the most disgusting. >> and don't you support our president? >> reporter: the conservatives think the regular occupiers are too find of big government. >> and we don't need an energy problem. >> reporter: the discussion between occupy and occupy occupy has actually yielded points of agreement. >> we agreed that we didn't like the bailout and agreed on the fact that we don't like capitalism. >> his group plans to come back every week day at lunch. what do the occupiers think of the free market folks who are occupying their occupation? >> and they're counter to what we believe in but they have their right to free speech, too. >> reporter: they plan

four decades: 29 men were killed on april 5th, 2010 after an explosion at the mine then owned by massey energy. today, state mining officials issued 253 violations against the company and released their final report. in it, they singled out two foremen saying they repeatedly failed to clean conveyor belts. or apply rock dust used to neutralize explosive coal dust all leading to unsafe conditions. just yesterday, federal prosecutors brought criminal fraud charges against the mine's former superintendent, gary may. we walk through the latest with npr's howard berkes. he's been covering this story since the accident. howard, welcome to you. so now we have this new state report. is the picture fairly clear on what happened that day? walk us through what we know. >> sure, the state report didn't really add much to what we already knew which was that this was a mine that was operated in a way that there was... ignoring of fundamental safety operations that safety procedures were flawed at that mine. that equipment didn't work properly and that the management of the mine was more oriented to p

redefined certainly the scholarship in the field of women's history has gone a far piece from mary massey's bonnet brigade which was commissioned during the centenary and thavolia's fine call to walk the battle fields. there are many battle fields we need to continue to struggle with. one is to be inclusive of all of those. there's still, i promise you, great topics on this. i went to northern ireland the year the queen withdrew the troops. so it's a kind of reconstruction in northern ireland. one of the things i was struck by was the way in which the students i teach american history to have a different question about reconstruction and battles. they come up with wonderful topics and are pursuing things like the role of the french in the american civil war, french speaking troops. i think we're in a time of great diversity, great expansion. it's wonderful and exciting. i think jim mcpherson has been so receptive and inclusive to this that my second book was the other civil war, which came out of a lecture he allowed me to give in his undergraduate course. we really have, in many ways, he p

young people get the education of their choice. [ applause ] >> and i want to thank delegates jimmy massey and others for their leadership this session on that issue. because here's the bottom line. a child's education should not be determined by their geography or their zip code, but by their god given abilities. that should be the formula for success in virginia. we will also propose innovations for dual enrollment in high school and community college so those students who want to gate head start on their college educations can do so. the goal is pretty simple. that is when you walk across the stage for the high school graduation and you receive that diploma, you should be able to be career ready or college ready. when our students are ready for college, college should be ready for them. the american dream becomes more attainable when there is more access at lower cost to a college degree. our sweeping top jobs education legislation that you all passed unanimously last year, i believe set a visionary blueprint for reform and reinvestment in our colleges and universities. now, we have to

not just about politics ordy low massey or war. s of about sport, it was about high culture, low culture, it was about art. "time" and "life" were all about these things. so there was a vividness there which i perhaps unconsciously death wanted to bring into the history that i laid around and warranted to write. so for me, they were a tremendous goed, if you will, to writing better history. >> jackson, on the same area. >> sure. well, i'll begin in the confessional mode also in that i also grew up with "time" and "life" like a lot of people of our generation. and i also found them i think in a subtle kind of way inspirational to the writing of a kind of encompassing version of history, not merely a narrow political or public policy oriented version. the time essay which appeared at some point in the 1960s, i believe, was also it turned out a somewhat superficial model, but also the kind of cultural criticism hey wathat i wanted t combine with cultural history. so luce was ploeting a lot of ideas that he may not have had on his agen

things that but that i've been working on are are our pain are finally to my just poor way yardy massey a lot of overcame plenty of adversity on his way to winning the rally of sweden the things about having a tie upon just to take top spot at the second rally of the a. in into second place that paula came into the final day makes twenty three secondly over eventual runner up and then twenty six year old able to deal with a stage twenty two. i still maintain a second advantage meanwhile russian you have going over the gulf coast time defending champion sebastian lobe out of the top five running champion still maintains a ten point overrule eight spyglass in spanish incredibly. close to months off but after damaging his ties on the same ball as his books he might not qualify. for that's all the sports news for now dimitri will be here in a couple of hours time joining the. claims that some of them are but you love her because. slaves are no shortage of austerity in the slashing of budgets of the stripping of the welfare state generate jobs and returns to. on. the. instant. this is to pol

bp, the gulf still is much like the massey energy killing of the 29 coal miners in west virginia. and many other things we call maximus and disasters. the consequences of and the unchecked corporate power, on balance between people and corporations, the biggest in the world, and a cutting of the connection between our government and the people and in west virginia several of investigation reports about what happened in the big branch, upper big branch explosion explicitly linked it to the political contributions and activity in west virginia. the 65,000 violations of the law under the mining safety act nothing has been changed. they ran the two sets of books. kennedy calls the mccann the enterprise but they were like a out of control corporation that killed people as a result and on a larger national scale that is what citizens united is about the endgame of what's happened in west virginia and other places but senator whitehouse took to the floor after the bp disaster and it came out that bp and other executives were literally in bed with government officials who were supposed to

some are purdy blow massey.president's plan for aids relief, six years ago, humanitarian issue, a moral question. the united states had the ability to help save a generation of people from dying, from aids because we had the drugs to do so, but we couldn't get them to them. there is a lot of different reasons you give aid. it's a hot topic now, as usually is every election season. but it's also important you have the leverage to be able to say knock it off. >> bob: i agree. greg, let me ask you this. if a muslim mosque were to burn in this country, i would imagine that there would be an international uproar. >> greg: of course. egyptians could drive every christian out of alex zan dryia, but if you asked a woman to remove her scarf at the dmv we'd be a police station. you can't begin to discuss what would happen if mosque was torched. as long as traditional western culture is the victim it's okay, because the world feels like we ask for it. especially our own academics in the united states believe that we can ne

more importantly, more near term if you will, they made an acquisition of massey energy. i think they'll be able to extract more cost energies in the near term to buy them some time. if you believe that china will continue to ease throughout the year, certainly the soft landing will -- and eventual recovery in that country will actually help the stock. >> i also see, stephanie, that you're not a buyer of bank of america, which did actually make or list. but we have to leave it there. thank you for joining us. >> heading to the close, about 40 minutes to go here. i still think we're going to make a run at 13,000 here. for bob's birthday, if nothing else. >> anything could happen in the last 40 minutes. oil prices, very clear movement there. they're currently up, rallying to another nine-month high. can it keep on climbing. and what's the best way to trade it, to ride it? we'll break it down next in "talking numbers." also, gas prices, having an impact on the housing market. >> i'm diana olick in poolsville, maryland. you get a whole lot more house for your money out here i

. >> for officer ed massey who came to spring creek from the military, diligence is rule one. >> i'm watching the inmates, i'm looking for what you'd call body language, posturing. if there's a problem, they will posture. if you're watching you can head off stuff before it starts. >> that's the one i was looking at. i think he's all right. he's just messing around, probably. >> you're always making sure that you have an escape route if you need one. if that's locking myself in a cell or whatever. >> spring creek enforces a zero tolerance policy for inmate infractions. >> our department use of force policy is called p-a-i-d, p.a.i.d. it's passive aggressive, intermediate and deadly. we always try to start with passive. you talk to a prisoner, show a presence of staff. hopefully that will talk him down. >> on this day, an argument in the lunch line has led to a full-blown fight between two inmates. officers place them under arrest. >> you need to respond to me so i know you're all right. >> let's go a little bit more. >> we have had trouble with him before. he just came out of our unit

massey ferguson, distributed by cat.nd of course our high-tech world market leaders are in a very strong position. we have invested a lot in engineering during the last years. and that helps us to sell. >> what part of the globe do you see the best demand? where is the most strength? >> well, actually the biggest market, of course, still is north america, the u.s. then brazil, south america, they're very strong as well. they are the market leader in some produce like oranges and soybeans and corn. and then, of course, the markets are moving towards east on europe and long term, i think odds are africa is an area which should be considered because only 20% of africa's farmland is used today. and we have already 1 billion people living in africa. and this population will double through 50z. so there is a need for food security and for modern farming. >> how do you beat the conundrum or the box that africa is in? they need the food. they have the land. they have the population. but they don't have the money to buy expensive

viewers out this who when they think of lincoln they think of the, depending on their ages, raymond massey or henry fonda or hall holbrook or gregory peck or others who have played lincoln in the movies. >> furthermore, it's well known that the more a man speaks, the less he's understood. >> lincoln has in fact been used almost from days of his assassination to sell products. we have lincoln logs. for a younger generation, the excellent adventure includes lincoln. he is just one of those figures if you're selling a product that's synonymous with integrity whether it's an automobile or insurance or a remedy for sleep deprivation. >> honest abe. >> absolutely. honest abe. everyone wants lincoln on their side. almost everyone can devise a rationale to justify that. we go on debating who he is, what he really believed, and how it influences our politics and our culture to this day. >> sreenivasan: and that story is not over. >> that story is far from over. we deliberately wanted an unfinished quality about this museum, about the story that we're telling here. because the one thing we know is t

this week we have a great jazz tribute to cal massey twice. wednesday and sunday in the restaurant.g all day. >> it's a date. >> we've got the shrimp over there. >> okay. >> we have a wonderful rice. >> so the leaves, you can eat? it's not like a bay leaf. >> no, no. you can eat them and they add lots of great flavor. just smell this. doesn't it smell great? >> amazing. we'll put the shrimp on top? >> yes, absolutely. >> we have knives and forks, right? that's what we forgot. we can use our hands. >> eat with our hands. come over here. i have another dish for you here. put a little bit of lime on top of that and you can just add it in. >> yogurt? >> a little bit of yogurt. if you think it's too spicy, dip in the yogurt. >> which i won't. >> and my home country, we have hash with lamb. a little bit of egg on top of that. this is a perfect brunch dish typical of the food we'll cook at red rooster harlem. >> you have okra fried but not the way people in the south may think. >> this is a lighter fry without batter. we put in flour, fry it quickly and add smoked paprika. this is a great

is this really something that i did low massey can solve?diplomacy has to be exerted initially hopefully pressure can be brought that will bring russia and china into that coalition, as well, to say to the syrians you must stop this. is this a crime against humanity, you are shelling innocent civilians. i know we've been warned or taunted by the russian president saying you shouldn't act like bulls in a china shop, but you shouldn't act lie butchers either. and that's what's taking place. so this is the reason why the international community has to be involved, the united states can play a role. but once again, before we try to send the marines in, we have to know exactly what our mission would be, who is in charge of this mission, how many are going to be involved. so the united states doesn't find itself exacerbating the situation, raising to a cold war level between united states and russia and actually making it more difficult to get a cessation of hostility. so we're looking at all the options and i think the administration is proceedin

and the next thing you know, because politics includes somedy low mass somedydy low massey. side of the republican, you page horse and he did. donald trump is unpredictable. and has been known to change his mind. but i think he's right that in the course of politics, this kind of stuff happens. >> i was surprised because of the statements he's made to you, me and others but also this whole issue of royalty in loyalty in which newt dwigingri accepted his invitation for the debate and mitt romney declined. i said it's clearly going to be newt because newt gingrich was loyal to him. mitt romney not so much. >> it's funny when somebody said who do you think it is and i said romney. i just thought that their backgrounds were at least similar, everybody hoe donald trump doesn't think that much of how many money mitt romney raised. i think also when people start to endorse at this stage of the game, they tend to try to pick the winner because if you're -- if you help -- >> not the $20 billion, but if he decides to write some million dollar checks to the pro romney super pac, that c

megyn: joining me now rob massey and mercedes colwin.kids decide to put rat poison in their teacher's coffee. how toss it wind up that she doesn't drink it? >> from what i understand, i'm going to call them co-conspirators. they floated by knocking down on the floor the coffee. i don't know what happened to the cupcake because i don't think we have those facts. one of the three foiled this plan to cause injury or death to this school teacher. that's what's been reported. megyn: one has second thoughts and throws the coffee away. but all three -- do we know if they have been suspend or expelled? >> there are varying reports. but either way the students have been removed from the school, and that's why there has been such an uproar. it's been months ago and apparently one of the parents of the child who foiled this plan was out there saying my child saved this teacher. megyn: after he tried to kill her. that is worth the bragging what. bob, the head of the teachers' union is ticked off. this is out in fresno. saying this isn't the old, thu

you can asked massey. host: what is it? caller: it is the valve that was used on the condo wel -- the to shutting down. i had a mutual agreement with a man named richard hahn in texas and the as a company called ed &m and that's where i lost control of the valve and we are soon to regain control. how these people are moving that valve as well. there's another houston company called wild well. host: let's see if this is part of the agreement that was signed this week. guest: what the agreement does is that it does require wells on both sides of the boundary to have a spill response plan in place. in this case they have used the helix system. i don't know if the helix uses your device or something else, but it is the helix system that will be used under this agreement if there were to be some sort oil spill,. for, host: you wrote a book "drowning in oil, bp and the reckless pursuit of profits." did you study the capping stack that charles was talking about? guest: unfortunately, my book came out before lot of the analysis had
