hans nichols joining us from near the crash site. let's stick with this subject.joined on the phone by aviation specialist chris yates. thank you very much for joining us. can you add any insight into what was happening in the cockpit at the time that this aircraft went into this rapid descent? any clues as to what really happened here? chris: i'm afraid the answer to that is a categorical no. we could always surmise what may or may not have been happening aboard the aircraft, but at this moment, without the assistance of the black boxes, the cockpit voice recorder most certainly and the data recorder secondly without knowledge of the content of those, we can't possibly say what was going on on board the aircraft at that time. anna: it seems they have found one part of the black box, the voice recorder. they are still looking for the data recorder. give us an idea of what they've been looking for and the details contained in those boxes, and what the timescales are. how long does it take to get through that material? chris: some doubts as to whether it is the voic

i heard chairman nichols say california wants to buy more. but the epa has said, no. renewable energy is only going to be credited to the state where it is consumed. not where the energy is created. which means wyoming gets no credit for the wind energy and develops. i present the senator saying this needs to be addressed. how is this going to impact wyoming's plan to meet the target? >> this makes it difficult for wyoming to achieve its target. the estimate of renewables would be somewhere around 9 million megawatts of wind energy that would have to be developed. right now, wyoming consumes 600,000 megawatts. that equates to a 14-15 hundred percent increase. >> you mentioned a lack of flexibility from the epa in giving wyoming what we would need to continue to produce renewable sources. more than half the land is federally owned. this has a significant impact on meeting mandates coming out of the epa. you referenced permits requirements. of which wyoming has no control. it does not seem the epa is proposing any sort of relief in plans to address these. only 1/6 of th

guy: hans nichols in berlin. thank you very much indeed.rancine: we will continue to talk about the developments in greece. we will be talking to the former italian prime minister mario monti coming up on "the pulse." guy: as the greek drama plays out, we're not sure if it is zero pities or aristophanes -- euripides or aristophanes at this point, euro-dollar continues to play out. what will it mean for asset allocation in europe? we have plenty of time to get into the issues. will we get parity? >> there is that expression, don't fight the fed. that is the guidepost i would use for this. for the next year, dollar could appreciate 5% to 10%. when you think about the divergence of monetary policy this is as clear a set of guideposts as we've got for how to navigate this year. francine: for such a long time everybody was saying that the dollar should be so much higher than it was. lester, we saw dollar weakness and that was completely crazy. >> it is easy in retrospect to think that. at some level, we were all while -- we were altering to figu

nichols uber referring to a 2020 goal of wonder but that didn't include hydropower.what is it with hydropower included? >> if we included the hydro that we received we would be above are 30%, 33% goals. so we chose not to add it or the legislature chose not to edit or nuclear because they were trying to push forward solar wind geothermal biomass. >> if that percentage was included with other non-fossil? if you include the other non-fossil? >> we would be about 40%. >> you have got to aim for oregon. we are at 70%. we often respect greatly the examples you are setting particularly you have set up a marketplace. if we turn back in time there was a proposal that came really from a right-wing think tank about using markets to regulate sulfur dioxide to take on acid rain. the concept was not to regulate every smokestack but to proceed to set up a marketplace and verify the most cost-effective solutions would be adopted. how did that work out or do you have memory of that? >> senator that was the assistant administrator at epa when we implemented the program and i'm very p

nichols: i believe so. mr. myers: i would concur that you can reduce emissions and keep prices down. sen. sessions: ms. nowak, you indicated, you have spent a lot of money to make coal cleaner than it has ever been. if those plans are closed, are you saying those are, stranded costs? lost investments that are damaging to ratepayers? ms. nowak: the costs for new generation only do not take into account paying for units that have been recently built. power plants are paid for over many years. ratepayers will be paying for plants run much less while at the same time paying for new electricity. sen. sessions: mr. easterly, i would ask you to see if you can say yes or no on that. let me ask a simple question. it seems to me mandates, regulations, drive up costs. in an economic sense, they are the same as raising taxes and having the government do it. the government could raise taxes on everybody and then pay for cleaning up power plants or whatever they want to do. i just want to translate this into reality for the

major george nichols told a similar tale in the story of the great march, one of the first historieswhat nichols is saying is that the citizens of columbia purposefully gave soldiers liquor as they knew what would happen. “as for sherman,” nichols stated, “whatever may have been the cause of the disaster, the result deprecated general sherman. “for however heinous the crimes of our people, we do not wage war against women and children and helpless persons.” what we see here, from sherman and hitchcock and nichols, is the shifting of sherman's blame to the confederates -- not just the general, but even ordinary people. this doesn't seem that surprising. who would admit to starting a fire like this? the complicating factor is that sherman never disavowed ordering the city be burned. why would sherman take ownership? and disavow the other? it is an interesting question. one thing is true. for about one decade, sherman consistently blamed the fire on wade hampton's ordering that the cotton be burned. he does this in a variety of forums. in response to a petition to congress. a citizen pe

[inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] .. the heads of several justice department divisions including the fbi, dea, us marshals, and the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives. >> good evening, everybody. so great to see every one of you. the jam and i am about to talk to and introduce also needs no introduction. he is is as someone at our table said, the men of the our. i think he is a man of courage and i and i think we all applaud his service and his creativity and the inspiration he has brought with his current service at the federal communications commission. we are all excited to hear what you have to say command we are

. >> rose: how often did you work with mike nichols?>> i worked with him twice in my career but our paths would cross and one time he was -- a really fun thing he had me do he directed the film primary colors, but he actually had me for whatever reason read with the young men who were auditioning. i des he wanted a girl to read with them so he thought of me. >> rose: but wasn't there something about you working in the theater and going back and forth and m3ke got involved in that. >> he cast me in both of those. he cast me in tom's play when i was 17. we took it to boston big hit, brought it into new york, on broadway, big hit. then pulled me out of that to be in hurley burly p we took it to chicago, big mitt off broadway big hit. moved it to broadway, big hit. the woman who had taken over for me in the first play the real thing, she had to leave. her replacement they weren't happy with. by happenstance mike also produced whoopi goldberg's show and no one heard of her and he brought her to their attention and he said come out with the h

. >> paranormal investigator joe nichol has a different theory. >> the least likely possibility is it's a ghost. the idea of a ghost is a lovely one, very romantic, but not credible. but illusions with films of things that could look like ghosts are usually hoaxes or anomalies that just happen. >> over the next ten years, psychics, camera crews, and professional debunkers analyze the video. none has been able to definitively explain the image. >> i believe that it's not a hoax, doesn't have the warning signs and earmarks of a hoax. not easy to reproduce as a hoax. but it looks just like what happens when various kinds of insects get attracted to a security camera. and i think it's the simplest explanation. >> one set of researchers came in. they brought a little martian doll and put in on a string or stick and waved it in front of the camera. one came in and thought it could be a electronic bleedover from some sort of an electronic outside source. if it was the system at fault, why not one of the other seven cameras? i had a hard time believing that, especially that night. there was no
