mr. matthews for his honesty about saying that it's bipartisan. i think both parties engage and i have two questions. first, the penalties they pay a fine, but once they're entrenched in the countries, do they keep on doing what they're doing and progressing the business and the second question is, are you familiar, is there any way we can find out, and i don't know if this has anything to do with anything but we're discussing this morning about the federal reserve. i always wondered who these people, they fine the companies and they pay a penalty but the federal reserve does criminal things all the time and you being with the dow jones, i thought you might -- who are these people and can you put a fingertip on them? and thank you for taking my question. >> sure, happy to. first part of your question, yes, they do pay fines. lot of times, well, almost always, when a corporation settles, the justice department also requires a lot of remedial steps they have to go through and check their internal controls. they have to fire people who are involved w

mr. matthews. despite his qualifications, mr mr. matthews waited 485 days for a hearing that was never held. his nomination was returned on january 2, 2009. rod rosen stein was nominated to the first sic circuit seat on november 15, 2008. the american bar association standing committee on the federal judiciary unanimously rated mr. rosenstein "well-qualified." previously in 2005, he had been confirmed in a noncontroversial voice vote as united states attorney of maryland. prior to his service as u.s. attorney generals he held several positions in the department of justice under both republican and democratic administrations. on june 24, 2508, senator specter, ranking republican of the committee, sent a letter to mr. rosenstein's home state senators pointing out that the seat to which mr. rosenstein had been nominated had been vacant since august of the year 2000. at that point, that was eight years. he requested -- senator specter requested they return their blue slips to his nomination. that request was declined. reportedly because

mr. edwards, matthew edwards, joining us an eyewitness to the scene. barbara starr is standing by. what's the latest at the pentagon on what happened and how this happened? >> well, an incredible scene that we watched unfold during the day happened when the training flight took off from the oceana naval air station. by all accounts it ran into trouble very quickly because it crashed into the apartment building about two miles from the runway. so the working assumption is it did not achieve significant altitude before the pilots realized they were in trouble. leading them -- forces them into an ejection potentially at very low altitude. pilots as we have talked about, very well trained to try and steer their plane away from populated areas. but these two may not have had any choice. we have the witnesses reporting flames under the plane. we have reports that fuel was coming out of the plane and the initial indications from the navy are that was not fuel dumping, but rather part of what this catastrophic malfunction may have been in the plane that led -- that led to the fuel basicall

matthew was interested in working on this character in the hitchcock film "39 steps." mr. memory!aren was interested in working on amelia earhart. and the old, reliable tomato juice. but what really happens is that we follow a lot of different tangents in the belief of everything being interconnected. i think that's a philosophical belief that underlies our work. man: i think one of the most important things about working with this group is the way ideas feed off each others' energy and create a way more complex piece. saner: goat island's work, i think, is much like painting in that there are many layers and many patinas of ideas that are layered one over the other, as colors are on a canvas. it is very visual. every day, he commits to memory 50 new facts. facts from history, from geography... from the newspapers, from scientific books -- millions and millions of them, and remembers every one of them. hixson: with our work, there's not a linear form where you follow a strict kind of story line and character development. this is much more like poetry. there is the use of metaphor,
