this is why it dims were under way to revive michael jackson. and the paramedics said he was surprised to see this because dr. murray, he said, had told him that he had not given michael jackson any drugs at all. he also said he had been told by the doctor that michael jackson collapsed about 1 minutes before the emergency services were called, which seems to be in the face of previous testimony that said that when the paramedics got there, michael jackson was already turning blue, and the indication was that he could have been dead for 20 minutes. >> obviously, the timing will be crucial. dr. murray's defenses that he did not do anything that could have killed michael jackson. >> yes, ever since the death, there his spokespeople, he has said that he did not give michael jackson anything that should have killed him. clearly, so far in this hearing, his side is not had an opportunity to go into detail. this is a form for the prosecution to prove that they have a case. >> thank you very much. germany has started the process of ending conscription,

from havana, michael reports. >> cruising the caribbean. every winter, tens of thousands of tourists island-hop on these luxury floating hotels. for several years now, cuba has been virtually out of bounds. this is the first british liner to visit here in least five years. under the u.s. trade embargo, and the vessel who traveled to cuba cannot enter american ports for six months. this ship is not allowed to pick up passengers in miami. european ships sailing out of barbados or the bahamas used to come here regularly. these visits all but dried out after cuba's former leader fidel castro decided he did not approve of the business. he said cruise liners like these left rubbish and empty cans, but generated little income. now it seems there will come again. -- they are welcome again. over the past few months, norwegian and spanish miners have returned, but with 1500 passengers, this is by far the largest cruise ship ever to have been in havana. they may not be spending money on hotel rooms and restaurants. they are still providing a major boo

those words could not be more true, michael, and john would like to say a few words about michael.i could invite you to the podium please. [applause] >> it is a pleasure for me to represent the indian health center of santa clara valley. we are so thankful to kqed, the mayor's office, and the other organizations that have put this event together. i know it takes a lot of work, a lot of planning. there are a lot of last-minute items that have to be taken care of, so all those who were instrumental in getting this organized so we could be here tonight to recognize our heroes. when i think of michael, i think of the work he does in the community. not just his job, but the counseling office, which is so very important to the people, but to provide those extra things. michael has been instrumental in spearheading many

michael, did you want to jump in on that? >> well, i just want to say, it's remarkable that given the magnitude of the, of the disaster, of the earthquake, and given the poverty in the country, that there hasn't been more violence and insecurity and looting, ah, after that. i mean, i think that demonstrates, ah, i think, reflects very well on the haitian people that there is a kind of a determination, a spirit to improve the situation in their country, and it hasn't, ah, it hasn't turned into chaos. and so i think one has, has to bear that in mind. >> a lot of what has happened in the post-quake period in haiti has been attributable to non-governmental organizations coming in, not just from the united states, but really from all over the world. um, is this a problem? is haiti a problem that really is not one that the u.s. government should respond to, but that somehow others should begin to step in in a bigger way? michael. >> well, i think everybody has to step in. ah, i think it's kind of a false debate to say, were there t

you'll hear from michael leavitt, of former rnc chairman michael steele, and others. was elected president of the republican national committee. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate it, and thank you, members of the committee, for giving me a few moments to speak with you. i wanted to just briefly touch on some of these sucsses we had in 2010. clearly, witall of the various different politicking that takes place within the committees, sometimes it is difficult to remember how successful we were in november 2010. as you can remember, we had a osi,ular goal of fire pel and thankfully, we did that. one of the programs we are able to offer is targeting for every congressional district around the entire country, which is a first for the rnc. we are also able to implement over 360 victory offices throughout the country, along with over 360 victory staffers, staff in those offices -- staffing those offices. we had over wrote 40 million contacts. -- over 43 million contacts. since the election, we have done an extensive review for every department at the rnc to be able to

because of michael steele because gaffs- michael steele -- michael steele's flubs and gaffs, that is not something that is happening. the front runner is reince priebus. he has around 33 or 34 public endorsements. that is approximately half of the 85 boats -- 85 votes he needs to win. there are multiple ballot rounds. there are multiple opportunities for anybody to cast ballots. people will vote and exchange votes and voted for one person on the first ballot and another person on the next ballot. nobody actually have to drop out. this really is like the 1892 presidential election. nobody had to drop out at all. we are going to see multiple rounds of ballots. who knows when even michael steele, who does not have a lot of support after the first ballot, is going to leave the election? >> national journal has reported that john boehner has endorsed maria cino. how does that come into play? >> this is absolutely fascinating. endorsements mean absolutely nothing. the 168 members are an insular group. they talk to themselves -- to each other rather, it and talking to washington at large. w

>> that is michael's project for school. we talked to michael earlier. he is writing a project on gun- control. the mayor and i talked about the importance of gun safety. sadly, in ashante's life, his mother had lost her husband in that regard. any time we make policy, we have to know how it translates into people's lives. san francisco has long been a place where gun safety is important to us. ashante has something to say as well. >> i need to talk about what has been going on with the schools. jerry brown is opposed to making cuts, but i do not understand. when you are gone, we are going to be here and we are not going to know what we're doing. it does not make sense. >> did you two ever think about going into politics? maybe? ashante is absolutely right. nothing brings more money to the treasury than investing in education. any economist will tell you. that is an investment that pays off, not only in terms of the lives of the people that receive the education, but also dollars to the treasury. as a personal issue, what it means to people, we must educ

there's an anita baker/michael bolton combination. >> that's a combination. >> michael mcdonald.ey both have la, la, la. there's a combination of that. like i said we've been freestyling through this project so i never really know what voice is going to come out next. ♪ somebody is checking for us this time ♪ ♪ and i'm sorry you're about to get left ♪ >> i think one of the amazing things about you is the privilege that you have you don't just keep isolated to your family or friends. you're also building things for people. you have a non-profit and charities. talk about some of that work you're doing. >> i'm from north philadelphia and i focus my energy into north philadelphia. camden gets a bad rap too. you're from camden. that's where the thugs are, that's where the killers be. if i came from there, you know, and i think i'm pretty well rounded, i think i'm, you know, modestly intelligent, and i'm -- i love my work ethic. i'm a hard worker. if i come from there, i know that others like -- like me are there too. if i can create something that will expand their mind, you know, get

ok gentlemen michael and daniel before the break. we got into a little brouhaha about ideology but i think going to martin here you live in hong kong part of china i live in russia here and one of the most refreshing things about living and watching the economy develop in russia is that it is not ideological at all it is an intensely pragmatic they make mistakes they still have big problems but there's no there's no model to do saying oh but according to this theory in this book and you know they really don't i mean in any it is trial and error at times but they get it right more times than not in expression how they went through this this global recession they're only open up here really reflect upon what's going on in the united states in the in the in the debate we're just before the break i mean is this one of the successes of china here is that it doesn't have to have a certain. playbook that it down downloads from the internet yes i would say absolutely yes what you just said about russia being problematic and moving on this bu

economy is in shambles and china is looking like stronger when you think about michael i mean even if the chinese appreciate their currency is this not going to necessarily create jobs in the united states is it. there's a false assumption underlying this debate and the assumption is that the balance of payments between china and the united states is a balance of trade but that's not the case at all when i'm in beijing and and when i'm in brazil they're talking about two things that have nothing to do with the trade balance or u.s. prices number one military spending for twenty years military spending accounted for the entire u.s. balance of payments deficit secondly capital flight american money managers are moving their money out of america they're jumping ship and they're moving it into the bric countries brazil russia india and china so this movement on capital account and on military account has nothing to do with with the trade account when it comes to the capital account the united states has told china we want to buy out your resources we want to buy your companies but we will

we sat in the nomination of michael steele. -- we second nomination of michael steele. join us, make sweet music. [applause] michael steele is the prudent leader with the energy and enthusiasm to lead us to victory again in 2012. is my honor to request your support and your vote for michael steele. thank you. >> the chair recognizes the state chairman for ohio for the purpose of nominating a candidate for rnc chairman. >> ladies and gentlemen, fellow members, i know we have heard all of the speeches and i know no one wants to hear anymore, so let's get right to the point. the challenges that face this committee are incredible and they are daunting. in less than 22 months, we have to dig out of a $20 million hole, put $27 million in to the president of trust, fund a get- out-the-vote effort for our presidential candidate, we have to pay for national convention, identify that presidential candidate, and do so while facing a glut will likely be a billion doll ground game in an effort to reelect obama. i respect every one of the candidates that has put forth their candidacy

que fue el propio michael el que se inyectÓ la dosis. >> sus opciones son muy limitadas.ble, allÍ se podrÁ ver que las evidencias son mucho mÁs que lo que vamos a ver en esta audiencia. >> los expertos dieron a conocer una teorÍas sobre la muerte de miles de pÁjaros. dicen que los fuegos pirotÉcnicos los asustaron y que como no vende noche chocaron contra edificios y Árboles. el problema es, la historia de las muertes se repite en al menos otras dos regiones del paÍs. >> fue una extraÑa manera de comenzar el aÑo para los residentes de arkansas, con una misteriosa lluvia de pÁjaros. >> sÍ, es perturbador. nunca estarÁs tantas aves muertas en todas partes. -esperas. >> cayeron al -5000 aves negras. todavÍa quedan vestigios del fenÓmeno que ha levantado preocupaciÓn. los resultados de autopsia descartan que las aves haya muerto por enfermedad o en velamiento pero entonces quÉ las matÓ. -envenenamiento. esto parece formar parte de un rompecabezas, en y luisiana tambiÉn se encontraron y otras mÁs en kentucky. >> es muy comÚn que mueran rÁpido. pueden sufrir del sistema nervios

michael is right. he did make reference to but didn't pause and emphasize government's role in the transcontinental railroad and using the sputnik analogy. he acknowledged and asserted government's importance but he celebrated american entrepreneurial stories and success and said we can outcompete anybody and sort of recast it in a way... i thought it was more reaganesque in terms not of delivery but of evoking our current confidence or what should be our confidence from our past achievements. using that. i thought in that sense it was surprising to me but in many respects it's a speech that one would not have expected from barack obama election night of 2008. i think it's an acknowledgment of the realities not only of this election but the economic realities of the country. >> lehrer: did you see that? did you hear.... >> i think there was a switch i mean from a stimulus-oriented public job creation, which would have been a year ago to a very business-oriented speech. i'm not sure that's reagan. i thi

we go to daniel mitchell he is a senior fellow at the cattle institute and in new york across the michael hudson he is president of the institute for the study of long term economic trends and another member of our cross-talk team on the hunger all right gentlemen cross talk rules are a fact that means you can jump in anytime you want martin you've been on the program before so i'm going to go to you first arrived before they were right on the eve of the visit of the chinese president to the united states and tim geitner joe a few days before through the chinese a bone as it were saying you know well maybe we'll consider our ban on selling high technology. products to china as kind of a you know a sweetener to kind of nudge the chinese along to appreciate their currency a little bit faster do you think this is the chinese will bite i mean is this just a snow job because the u.s. doesn't have a lot of leverage here. first of all clearly more and more the chinese are in the driver's seat so there can be no doubt about that actually even independent research association based in the us in ne

if we disagree with michael what he does. i want to disagree a bit with what he said in the sense of the cato institute we were completely against the wall street bailout we are completely against what was described as corporatism because there is a lot of that corrupt and to relationship between washington and wall street we want genuine free markets where there is not any sort of central planning there spontaneous order based on the interaction of millions of consumers and millions of businesses if i have to choose what's going on i want america to follow more of the hong kong model han kang is rated by the economic freedom of the world and x. and the end of economic freedom as the freest economy with the least amount of government intervention and government spending and taxes that's the model we should be following unfortunately bush and obama and geithner and the fed are following this model of crony capitalism of corporatism of having the special interests in washington sort of this corrupt if we've all heard of the iro

michael flannery the new addition is really the extension of george eastman's original vision. so it actually brings you around main street and finishes actually to the parking spaces that will bring you through to the new addition. that alone will be a beautiful new space that doesn't take away from the theatre but will only add to the theatre. craig jensen a theatrical performance is more than just sitting in a seat and watching somebody sing or play the violin. it's really an event from the time you arrive to the time you leave. intermission it would be nice if you walked out, and you had a vista of people in their finery, you know, or whatever they're wearing or whatever, or they're sipping their wine or whatever they're doing. and the degree to which you can create these kind of vistas and experiences and, you know, you can see your friend, you know, two levels down and wave to them. these are all important things that kind of add to the visit. so these spaces with multiple levels really afford people, i think, those opportunities to get the big picture and enjoy the big p
