thank you, miss matsui. i recognize myself for five minutes. i will spend most of my time with you, mr. powell. first, i want to just give a little anecdotal story. when i walked into my 17-year-old's room and, by the way, we got him a tv for his room for christmas thinking when he graduates it will be a good thing for him to take to college. hopefully he is going to college. i walk into his room and he is on his iphone and i just said, hey, what's going on. just watching netflix. on his iphone and there is a tv sitting right there. that's the world we're living in. that's the people that are going to dominate the consumer products and video markets for the years to come. i think of turning on the tv. they don't. >> was the tv internet connected. >> good point. yeah. he has the xbox 360. yeah, he can do it that way as well. he just chose to do it on his phone. so, mr. powell, it is interesting. you mentioned the 57%. in 1992 congress was concerned about the cable monopoly. that does not exist today. if you're at 57%, and the folks sitting at th

hideki matsui gets a home run to deep right. schenn gets five runs in the first inning and didn't allow more. but that was more than enough for the rays because o's hitters had a hard time against rays starter david price. seven shutout innings had jones in one of the five strikeouts. o's failed to score in a game. they're shut out 5-0. the slumping o's lost nine of the last eleven games and fall to 2nd place behind the rays. game two of the series tomorrow. this is a reminder on masn tomorrow first pitch at 4:00. brian mattis is the o's scheduled starter. something never done. he throws a no-hitter. david freese. strikes out and 8-0 history making victory. quite an accomplishment when you consider santana sat out all of last season after shoulder surgery. it's the third no hitter pitch in the majors this season. the regional play in the baseball regionals at the university of virginia but when it rains at a college game, major difference. in college, the players are also the grounds crew, so the virginia players got wet and dir

representative doris matsui and senator john kerry sponsored the bill requiring cruise liners report all crimes to the fbi. in turn, the agency makes those statistics public on the u.s. coast guard website. last-minute language altered the bill so that only crimes no longer under investigation by the fbi would be reported in the public database. in a memo we obtained kerry's own office acknowledges for the first time publicly that the bill was changed at the request of the fbi and the u.s. coast guard. in part it reads, the agencies feared reporting on pending cases could impact ongoing investigations. and endanger lives and efforts to bring criminals to justice. ken carver from the international cruise victims association spent months trying to figure out how the bill was altered. his daughter disappeared on a cruise ship in 2004. he's disappointed to find out the very agencies he's been working with to make crime statistics more transparent may be to blame for the alteration. >> you do feel betrayed. there's been a close relationship built up over the years between the coast guard,

matsui. >> thank you for yielding me time.o want to welcome the panelists for joining us today. as we know, in today's global economy, with well over 2 billion users, the internet has become a necessity and not a luxury. that is why i believe that a free transparent and open internet must continue. the current multi-state colder approach has allowed the internet to flourish here in the u.s. and around the world. an international authority over the internet is troublesome, particularly if those efforts are led by countries where censorship is the norm. i agree with many of our witnesses that -- and interfere with many fundamental principles that allow the internet to be an ecosystem for innovation and growth. i am also pleased that the administration understands these concerns and believes that such an international mandated framework would simply not work. we need to continue to promote innovation and openness of internet around the globe. i believe that the multi-state colder approach must continue to -- multi-state colder --

my partner was matsui and company. and they had an office in moscow. and my wife and i went -- my work works in population field, but she went along on this trip. and we went -- she said, i'd like to see a train station. and we went into the train station. a lot of the people were carrying loaves of bread this big. >> ask your question. >> okay, we need a question, i'm sorry. >> the question is, she asked, why are they taking a loaf of bread to some community, not a suburban community, but hundreds of kilometers away? and they said, well, there's no bread there. and my question is, what about the efficiency of, let's say, the manufacturing or the farming or what about the economics which hasn't been mentioned at all tonight? >> you mean back then. back then. >> that's my question. >> steve, can you answer? how much of a factor was the state of the soviet economy? >> in the end of the soviet union. there is a widespread view that the soviet economy collapsed, and therefore the soviet union collapsed. it isn't so. you can't find a professional economist

still in the first, hideki matsui, gone.t out for the first time since last august. 5-0 the final last night against the rays. no-hitter for the mets last night. first time, not just this season but in franchise history. johan santana strikes out david friese to end it against the cardinals. first mets no-hitter in the 51-year franchise history. no hits, five walks, eight strikeouts for johan santana, an amazing accomplishment considering santana missed all of last season due to shoulder surgery and at the turn, look who has managed to hang in there despite the soggy weather at the pga memorial. tiger woods. round two, woods had everything going his way. here on the par 3 fourth, tiger puts it about four feet from the pin. set himself up for a birdie. and then on sixth, woods got the putter working from long range. 25 footer. drains it for the birdie. tiger sits one stroke off the lead. one stroke behind rory sabotini at the pga memorial. i'm gerry sandusky, hope your weekend is off to a fantastic start. >> here's a look ahe

i will do my best to get out of you all little explanation as doris matsui was saying.tinfoil had on my head and creating an issue that wasn't very real but if you could talk about a little bit about -- we clearly understand the arabs spring and what this means and the internet is the biggest fool for freedom mankind has ever seen. taking that aside can you talk a little about the proposal and how it would impact u.s. business and what it means for the bottom line for business should this occur. >> to both of you. >> thank you for your leadership. there were a lot of folks who questioned whether this was real, at a minimum it creates uncertainty and drives up costs and that alone could be damaging. let's take an example. harvard and mit announced they will offer courses online for free. the concept of the applications on the net could be put at risk if costs are raised. ultimately consumers pay for those costs one way or the other. they pay for increased costs due to regulation. at a maximum you would have a bifurcated internet, cross border technologies such as cloud c

matsui: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman from florida for yielding me time. mr. speaker, this conference report includes a transportation bill that will help put americans back to work, and rebuild our infrastructure, and it will also ensure that students won't see a hike on their interest rates. this comes after 17 short-term extensions for the national flood insurance program. mr. speaker, i represent sacramento which is the most at-risk metropolitan risk for flooding as it lies bewith between two rivers. since hurricane katrina, more than 2,500 homeowners have been remapped and flood insurance is now mandatory for them. the average homeowner in sacramento that has been remapped currently pays about $350 for a p.r.p. policy, that's a preferred rate policy. beginning in 013, they were set to pay $1,350 once the p.r.p. rate expired. however, that is no longer the case. this bill contains a number of important provisions, including a flood insurance phase-in amendment offered during debate in the house nfip bill last july. instead of an overnight sticker shop for

matsui's questions of retransmission, what other underbrush is there from 1992 that was so focused on the cable industry? what do we need to do to clear out the brush? what specific things should congress look at it one to review the 1992 act? >> the first thing i would say is that the competitive dynamics, you have to increase value for consumers. you can do that through innovation and evolution of your service. and the competition we face, most formidably from the satellite companies, increases the quality of content we provide and the amount of content we provide. it forced us to look at new businesses for revenue development. it continues to be competitive, which is part of the dynamic. that helps drive investment in broadband. when we brought that into the bottle of services we offer, as well as telephony -- if you look at the wonderful things the over-the-top folks are doing, you see customers knowing that they too are going to have to add the do you to your son to allow him to watch what they are selling over ipads and other things as well. that dynamic is driving a lot of inno

matsui: if you want proof of congress' partisanship look -- ms. chu: look no further than today's cop temperature vote. he fought gang violence, protected intellectual property rights and worked to make sure every american has the right to vote. we should let the attorney general enforce our nation's laws, not make his job harder. the contempt vote against holder is unprecedented, unjustified and unfounded. never in the 223-year history of the house have we held an attorney general in contempt. yet today, we will do just that in this ridiculous partisan stunt. congress should be creating job, not wasting taxpayer money putting on a political sideshow during an election year. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from kansas seek recognition? i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> today marks the 101st birthday of my grandmother, edna yoder. mr. yoder: she was raised on a kansas frm farm with her brothers and sister

representatives betty mccollum, betty lee, emanuel cleaver, laura richardson, bobby richardson and doris matsui joined me in offering this amendment. the republicans objected to this amendment to their appropriations bill because it was not in order under their rule. so this bill has no funding for this critical program to create jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. why did we have so much support on this legislation? why do we have so many people who are signing on to basically beg for tiger funding? it is because tiger funding will create millions of jobs. it's because jobs are needed so desperately in this economy. it is because not only will we create millions of jobs, our infrastructure is in great disrepair. we have bridge -- bridges that have been designated as unsafe, we have roads, we have water projects, we have all kinds of infrastructure needs that are unmet. this is the least the american public could expect. this transportation bill has been waited on in many communities across this country. people thought when we passed this bill that we truly were going to expand job

richardson: i rise today in support of the waters-mccullen-bass-richardson -matsui amendment which was not found in order and i would hope that the members here of the leadership would reconsider that decision. i'm strongly in support of seeking to restore the $500 million for an additional year of the widely popular and highly successful tiger grant program. as a member of the committee of transportation and infrastructure and as a representative of one of the most transportation intensive infrastructure dribblingts in the country, i know how important it is to maintain efficient transportation infrastructure that will help our country remain competitive globally throughout this country and in the world. the tiger program enables d.o.t. to use a rigorous process to select projects with exceptional benefits to explore ways to deliver projects faster and save on construction costs. it also enables to make investments in the nation's infrastructure and make communities more livable and sustainable. the 2012 tiger program received 703 grant applications, requesting a total of $10.2 billio
