welcome back our guest michael wood for the exposed fraud at the japanese firm a limp this live to tell about it he's here on our set giving us the lessons that he feels not pulling any punches when it comes to japanese corporate governance and now i want to speak more broadly to you about the economy because you you work there you are an employee of olympus for thirty years i know that entire time was not in japan but you spent years there in terms of corporate governance you called it an alice in wonderland experience but i'm i'm wondering what your assessment is macro economically because we hear about japan it's government debt but but demographically it's an aging population its birth rate is declining it's a country that has entitlements that are that are given i'm curious what you see macroeconomic going forward for the pan i mean i think. i mean i'm in new york at the moment yeah everyone's worried here about the fiscal deficit the dog is barking in europe because of the euro crisis but japan when the dog starts barking there he won't be barking he'll be howling the japan has go

next up is corine woods and michael ginter. >> good afternoon commissioners my name is corine woods. i'm an alternate to the new arena cac and also serve on several other advisory groups around waterfront issues. i wanted to echo katie ladel's comment which is that we had a lot of information, a lot of documents to read. i'm sure you have read them all, especially the fiscal feasibility study and all four appendices. it took me a couple of days even to download it. this is going too fast. the cac was supposed to believe able to advise city about how we felt about this project. we haven't had that opportunity. the cac meetings have been essentially information dumps without the ability to discuss and ask questions. we have had the opportunity directly with jennifer mattes and other staff people to ask questions but we haven't necessarily gotten answers, and we think it would be better if you're going to postpone, and thank you for postponing the term sheet. if we could have that opportunity before any of these documents get approved. the fiscal feasibility study leads into the term sh

. >> i grew up watching michael jordan, tiger woods, if he can win 14 championships why can't i?years old my mother got me in sailing. she tricked me as a kid i didn't like boats, water. i was afraid to go out there. so summer camp she sent me out there, i walked on the boat, and first if thing i thought the boat didn't sink, hey, good, this is fun, i will be safe. >> got his first taste of danger crewing a trip for bruce schwab. >> when we left a hail storm, waves smashing through them, and i steered the boat for four hours and he told me that night he said awesome job out there, and that boosted my confidence, skills and abilities. >> from there, lawson launched his racing career. >> fearless. kind of willing to push the boat, push himself a little bit. he's not afraid to take a couple chances, and try to push his boundaries a little bit. >> also out to break old stereotypes. >> i have been confused a number of times as the help at events, ask me to get them a drink, they don't expect to see you there. once they find out who i am and what i've done, they race against me, the re

michael russum, jonathan goldberg. i'm really sorry, can't read this one. c-h-o-d-e-n. susan vaughan. george wooding. and tony getener. if your name has been called -- there you go, thanks. >>> i'm going to again submit this, if you would. my name is bernard showed en. i'm with san francisco tomorrow. the issues that i raised are obligatory. [speaker not understood]. it is an obligation for your consideration. the problem is that c-e-q-a does not exist in an enforceable manner in the city of san francisco. it does not meet the mandates of professional and state mandates. there is no means of enforcing findings of the vacation needs as required by c-e-q-a. it is not simply and with good intention that we address c-e-q-a, but we address it in the extent it needs mitigation. we do not have the institution, resources, or planning expertise in evidence that regard affordability or habitability for the city's costs and the people who live here. it's not about beautification cumulatively. it is community, social equity. it's not just the cost to the developer, but the cost to the public that is entertained.

woods it is looking good now. if they are late you cannot blame o'hare airport. >>neil: thank you, michael.there relief ahead? rick has been the right guy on this stuff. rick: that storm is almost over. we have another one but if you look if a white christmas, look at this map, that is where snow is now. because of this storm the bull's eye was across iowa and wisconsin and michigan where some spots saw up to 20" of snow so a big one, and that is good news because they need it. the crops need it, but if you trying to get home this is what is left. a little bit of rain across northern new england. behind it is a lot of colder air and the cold air moves over the great lakes and that turns into snow so we have lake effect snow all weekend. you hit one of the bands it could be deep and you drive another three miles or four miles and you do not have anything. we have storm advisory in appalachians and lake erie. and then to the west, looking good for everyone but northern california and southern oregan, major rain and major snow for the next five days, another maybe 8" to 10" of rain and 4' to 8

michael." today from the new movie "the hobbit":the unexpected journey, alikea wood. >> and katherine jenkins,

she wood to take him shooting to local target ranges, but that's about as close to anything that could explain what happened on friday. >> michael isikoff, thank you. >>> news4's richard jordan arrived in newtown, connecticut as the story was still unfolding. he got back recently. they were talking about adam lanza. what were the people in town telling you that struck them about this kid. >> what's strange is this is a really small town. everyone knows everyone, white picket fences, a main street corner store, but a lot of people didn't remember him or knew who he was. even kids who were in high school with him still didn't remember him. and then they had some recollection, that he was a loner, he didn't talked to many people. even peeled said he just wouldn't respond. he carried around with him a laptop. some people even said a briefcase, which was out of place there. so that's how he's remembered. nothing ever that triggered anything that people ever thought he might snap like this, but certainly an introvert. >> but in a town this small, it's like mayberry, everyone knows everybody, so it's interesting they don't know him. ho

woods. i don't see anything odd that she was a target shooter. and she never made a big deal out of it. >> you know, michael've heard so much about the personality of this 20-year-old, how quiet, how shy, yet what do we know about his experience, expertise with guns? >> reporter: very little, but federal agents all weekend long have been going to multiple shooting ranges and gun stores in this area, trying to find evidence that adam lanza may have been there, was he planning this attack, was he practicing for it. this has been a major focus of the investigation as they try to piece together how he came to do this and why he came to do this. look. for all the reporting we've done this weekend and all the briefings we've gotten, we still have no clue as to what his motive might have been, what drove him to that school and caused him to do this. nobody has shed any light on that, and right now it's certainly the biggest mystery we have here. >> yes. and as lieutenant vance indicated it may be a long time before we have even the beginning of that answer. michael is cougikoff, thank you much. >>> meantime the he

. >> michael steele, i want to read from daniel heninger in "the wall street journal," a question i've been asking since 2009. "only a newborn babe in washington woodsmore than zero. it would be nice to think this is all a grim fairy tale and that come new year's eve, prince john of cincinnati will turn dross into gold. no, virginia. republicans lost the election, but does that mean republicans have to help obama dismantle their party by letting its most basic conservative principles disappear into the beltway's smoke and mirrors? that's what's happening now. where is the big picture? why is it not possible for boehner or anybody else in this party to articulate for the dumbstruck public watching these dreadful cliff negotiations what the republican party stands for? who speaks for the gop?" michael steele? you will now answer this question. >> speaking for the gop, no, i think that that is the profound understatement here that is so relevant to why you see boehner struggling with his right flank and with his middle, quite frankly, to come to some common ground. there is no scoping out of the bigger argument. putting into context why we so fervently
