col colin mckenzie gude faces up to ten years in prison. police searched his home in 2008 and found several weapons, including an ak-47, two shotguns, and two smoke grena s grenades. she was supposed to be sentenced last thursday, but the judge postponed it a week, because he ruled that a key government witness must testify as the defense wants. >>> the chris matthews show is coming up next. let's check in with chris right now to find out what's going on on his show. chris? >> good morning, washington. coming up at 10:00 on the chris matthews show, the president says we're still very much in danger of an al qaeda attack. today we have four reporters who cover national security and we'll get the details. just how great is the threat today and what form might it take? and that attack on our cia officers in afghanistan, what does that tell us about how threatening al qaeda is over there? >>> plus, is barack obama enough of a commander in chief and leading our military and intel services? that's all coming up here at 10:00. for a look at what's

mckenzie did some work with the i.f.c. that looked at water scarcity across the river basins. on a business as usual basis, you have a 40% gap. also maps the marginal costs of those interventions to close that gap. but of course once you start getting down on the ground, it's a very political thing, it's not just about the technicalities or the evidence. how do you square that circle, as a matter of principle in our development work? >> water is a great example. water is going to be the source of increasing conflict and i think it's a perfect example of combining diplomacy and development. i would hope that sometime in the near future, we're able to have an international effort focused on water that takes some of the politics not out of it, but diminishes it, because it's not just about what this country is doing to that country but about what all countries are doing to themselves and that we try by using technical expertise and political efforts to begin to make the case that if we don't have a 21st century international water compact, for example, millions and millions of co

mckenzie suggested milwaukee used cheaper food.t it was great, i thought, to have fresh eyes on the situation. other districts have enlisted parents, taxpayers, unions, teachers, school staffers, so on and so forth. we heard this on the previous panel and asked them to help. there's a three-page list of possibilities. the group rejected some ideases, like eliminated the paper-based school directory, but it save for ununpopular cuts including eliminating school-performance bonuses. jefferson county increased the technology last year while cutting school jobs after getting the all clear from the citizen budget group. citizen participation doesn't necessary yield a lot of dynamite ideas. cfo told me that most people propose the same thing. they do give them the political cover to make them choices to pay teachers. they force, let taxpayers own the problem. the up side might be that they get people more involved not only in how schools are funded but also how widely schools are funded. >> thank you, june. stacey? >> i mentioned i'm on

last year mckenzie and company produced a massive study of milwaukee's non-academic operations and identified million in potential savings. some of them weren't good ideas. mckinsey suggested milwaukee use cheaper food. but it was great i thought to have fresh eyes on the situation. other districts have enlisted parents, taxpayers, union, teachers, school staffer, someone and so forth. we heard this on the previous panel, and asked them to help. colorado springs asked a budget committee to include, that includes parents and community members to help identify $4 million in cuts from a three-page possibilities compiled by the cfo. the group rejected some ideas, like eliminating a paper-based school directory that the district cut anyway, but it gave the administration its support for other unpopular cuts including eliminating $1 million in school performance bonuses. jefferson county, colorado, increased its technology purchases last year while cutting school jobs after getting the all-clear from the citizens budget group. i found item of these@@@ rbrb rb between harvard's ed school, business s

it's mckenzie plus time warner and where the military aspects organization comes in is with the affiliatedroups with al-qaeda and yemen orkgñ al-qae and wishing and less so in algeria, i think. but also in particular with the universe of pakistani-based -- what we call taliban groups. and these are the organizations that i think are particularly worrisome today. we see that with what seems like this very sophisticated intelligence operation with others. we see it with the musab groups on the barcelona subway.gs we see it with a lot of the other organizations. even here in the united states where these guys were connected not at least what we know thus far directly to al-qaeda and osama bin laden but to these other groups that sit around al-qaeda but have their own bases. that's where the -- that's where the muscle is coming from. as we move forward. and so the qualities that we're going to see, i think, in the next sort of supreme figure in al-qaeda, if there is going to be a single supreme figure, it's going to be someone that has a couple of -- a couple of qualities. one, they need to b

of granular analyses that we're seeing presented here today, by mike, by marguerite, and because mckenzie that are in working with districts, because they have not made this information public because it's proprietary data which they put a lot of sweat equity into collecting which they then share on a client basis, is we actually, in a large-scale, don't have the kinds of analyses which let us say in any thoughtful fashion, which is the behaviors or cost savings actually seem to drive achievement. so in some sense the answer to your portion is, it's a great question, but one of the reasons we need the kind of thinking analysis we are seeing today is because we are not ready in any meaningful way, shocking as it may be in 2010, to answer the question you asked. mike? >> yeah, i agree with that, rick. a lot of these so far are fairly proprietary in nature, and you have to kind of hard the company in order to get access to the data or the methodology. i think one of the things we feel so good about and what we've been able to develop is it's not proprietary at all. it's completely free. ther
