trajectory about north america natural gas directive activity in the second half that leads us to think that investments outside that region are generally speaking a better value. as it relates to the gulf mexico crisis right now, certainly cast a paul over pretty much the entire industry but to be a bit of a contrarian, i think that it's just at times like these and one that you take stock of the intrinsic value of some of these names. might be unpopular to think about transocean or cameron. it just seems that the reaction over the longer term could be a bit overdone. >> iy. >> your notes you've also got weatherford, schlumberger, and baker hughes. would you recommend people buy those? >> that's correct. i mean i think if i were to select one single oil field services stock, it would be schlumberger. i like the franchise value. i like the international exposure and their exposure to north america in my mind is the right percentage about 25. it's very difficult to impeach on a competitive basis and where everyone needs to be over the longer term. weatherford can be an appealing play. i

there are four strategies to dealing with the black market in drugs, in north america. and worldwide, really. one is, complicity, or what mexico might call the idea of simply working, hand in glove with traffickers, accepting their existence and taking the occasional bribe. that is the way drug trafficking in the u.s.-mexico context worked for many years with very high ranking officials on the mexican side and no small number, recently, of low-level u.s. officials, border patrol agents and others getting snared up in this kind of thing. the second approach is to do a head-on fight against the cartels and that has been the strategy we have taken on almost the last decade. with the idea of dismantling organized crime syndicates. some people call that the hydra strategy because like the mythological beast of ancient times, cut the head off of one organization and a new one grows back and so there are serious questions about how effective that can be and thirdly, you can try to reduce consumption. and as i said, unless you are willing to put very serious resources into that

but in order to do that, mexico and really north america would have to be part of the equation. talk to many private sector companies, big ones that are in mexico and other places, companies like intel or caterpillar, and the way that they are able to produce competitively in the united states has much to do with the ties that have in canada and the ties that have to the united states. if they did not a part of their plants in mexico or canada, then they put a mine in china or brazil or other places. when they are in mexico, they are able to bring imports of the united states, or in cuts, and taken to mexico and bring them back here to send to other markets. when they are in brazil, they do not have inputs to the united states. some might have jobs out of the u.s., but also saves thousands of jobs because some and puts are coming from the united states to mexico. it is an integration that happens which does not happen in other parts of the world. for the benefit of mexico and also for the benefit of the u.s. and its export growth, this issue north american competitiveness should

and from a long-term perspective, it is of concern also to see the deepening of the gap between north america and europe. as far as defense investments are concerned. having said that, i also think government could take advantage of the crisis, if i may use that term, and use the constraints as leverage for necessary reforms and transformation to make sure that we really get value for money and make efficient use of our resources. >> i want to come back to the reform issue that i have ask you about before, your call for increasing nato's efficiency, this is me reducing the size of political and military committees? this is something that nato has not managed to do any significant way since the fall of the berlin wall, and a related question, what does this mean for the actor threats in ways nato has done in the past? >> we certainly understood the problems of bureaucratic expansion and various committee growth. specifically, we give authority or asked to that authority be given to the secretary general to work further on his reform project to streamlined. we felt that we were not in a positio

you are in bp north america. i was on c-span this morning, and they talked about, what about china drilling off of cuba? i believe that they had been exploring down there. are you aware of this? >> i think that they have been talking. >> let's say that they do this. 45 miles is halfway between cuba and the united states. they have not requested any permits off of the shores of cuba. we have to be ready, and we have to have these in reserve. that is not the responsibility of the coast guard. and we have to be ready in case something happens. and if you look at the history of these things, in 1979 we had the worst situation in the history of the gulf. this was not caused by people asleep at the job, on this particular incident. but this continued for nine months. and i think that we have to be prepared, not only for another incident in the deep water, and we have a list -- this is a list of the obama approvals. you see that you are doing this in deeper water, and we have to make certain that if this is done, and we

if it were to worsen and as we moved closer to the fall harvest season here in north america, that could concern. at this moment we do not feel it's a factor in the markets. >> what are you doing in sales now? cargill, are you the biggest private company in the country? >> well, it's a difficult thing. >> yeah, you don't even have to tell -- >> our sales -- >> you don't even have to tell me that. >> our sales -- our sales are modestly over $100 billion a year. >> wow. >> when you look at what's happening in the public market mace, marketplace, i guess you're not feeling a real urge to sell stock at any time to the public. >> we have been well supported for 145 years by family owners, and i think we have a strategy that suits the nature of our ownership, so we're happy with where we are. >> we're thinking about taking "squawk box" private as well as things head south. anyway, we appreciate your time today, mr. page. thank you. >> you're very welcome. thank you. >> cargill a run for their money. >> you want to be nonexecutive chairman? >> that works. yeah. >> do you? >> chief compliance of

i was sad to learn after the fact about bp's shockingly bad safety record in north america. also i never would have expected from my company transocean to treat me like a criminal after i had survived such a disaster by making me submit to a drug test and then try to tempt to trick me into giving up legal rights by signing forms without a lawyer present. if i had known any of these things, i might have thought twice before setting foot on the deepwater horizon. members of the comttee you cannot allow bp and transocean to continue to conduct business this way. i hope that my testimony here today leads to changeshat may drilling rigs safer so this never happens again. thank you. >> byron encalade is the president of louisiana oysters association. he has a business at east point and has fished for his entire life in the gulf of mexico. >> mr. chairman and other representatives of the committee, i want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell our story. my name is byron encalade. i'm a third generation oyster fishermen. from east point, louisiana, i currently serve as

up in the pacific northwest we have a small plate that's forcing its way under north america that's responsible for the cascade volcanos, it was responsible for a huge earthquake in the year 1700 that some day will repeat again. that's really our chile earth quake. estimates of what that could be range from 8.5 to 9. as both an earthquake and tsunami of course. and again, there's another large boundry off of alaska that was responsible for the huge 1964 earth quake that caused a lot of damage to anchorage. host: the big question that all of us will ask is how do you get better e at predicting earth quakes? and given the large earthquakes that have happened, does it give us any insight into what we could expect for parts of the country and the united states? guest: we do study earth quakes abroad to learn not only lessons about structural engineering but lessons about how the faults work. and we monitor earthquake faults to see what indications that those faults may give that they are preparing themselves to produce earthquakes. we've been disappointed in our attempts to predict earthquakes in t

oh, yes, that was british petroleum of north america in los angeles. but 95 -- 1995 to 2001 when the bush administration came in and let her go, she served as the assistant secretary for land and minerals management at the department of interior, where she was the principal policy advise irto the secretary of interior for environmental stewardship, isn't that special. . talking about chief executives of big oil company being too cozy with his administration, it bears looking into and you don't have to go very far to see there was a serious problem here. and the person that works with british petroleum, that may have worked with m.m.s. officials from the british petroleum side is now with -- is now the assistant secretary with m.m.s., working with these same people of which she used to be one. interesting. now, we know that the jobs have not come as was promised. we were told a year and a half ago if we would move in a socialist direction, give $787 billion more on top of the ridiculous wall street bailout months before that, we add another $787 billion

florida keys, becomes the gulf stream, which hugs the keys and those delicate coral reefs. 85% of north america's coral reefs are in the keys. and then hugs the shore of florida along the southeast coast all the way up to central florida to fort pierce, florida, where it then leaves the coast of florida, goes across the atlantic ocean and ends up over close to scotland. that's the gulf stream. it was the stream that 500 years ago used to carry the spanish galleons along with the wind back from their discoveries of the new world as they went back to europe. now, you can imagine if the spill gets so big in the gulf of mexico, that then it encounters the loop current and that spill then starts carrying that oil down the southwest coast of florida, around the florida keys, hugging the florida keys and the coral reefs and up the east coast of florida. we are looking at potential major economic and environmental loss. so the question is what do we do? well, first of all, i have not only requested but in my kind of mild way, madam president, have strongly suggested that we stop all exploratory drilling,

and yet they came from europe to north america in the hope of achieving freedom and they did. but i'd like to try to do something, in some respect a little more difficult, if i may. which is try to explain in some general way what jews have meant for our intellectual and moral life as a country. i think it begins with the fact that we all lived as slaves. we not only remember that time and remember what it meant for us to achieve freedom ourselves as a people but we also make sure that each year, we come together during a time that's important to all of us to come together as families and remember the importance of that part of the jewish experience. that helps us relate to other people who are oppressed in all sorts of ways. we're also moved, i think by the concept -- by t concept of healing the world. this is a concept that dates in jewish law back to the mishna. it originally was basically an injunction that you should not take advantage of other people. one of the original examples of this, was that, for instance, when captives were taken, when people were held hostage in

she was formerly vice president for e strategy and integration at pharmaceuticals north america commercialoperations. so, let's turn things over to lew starting on the discussion of teams. lew? >> thank you command good morning everyone. i appreciate the opportunity to participate in this symposium and on behalf of the united health foundation which is an independent foundation supported by contributions on the united health group, we are really pleased to have been able to provide support to this issue and to the symposium which i really think it's incredibly important incredibly timely in the post reform era. in thinking about how to frame the up my comments for the purposes of our discussion about teams, rather than talking kind from a policy perspective i guess i thought it would be better to share a kind of expert initial view of teams. susan says kenneth like the mayor matters narrative for health affairs because i've been -- i practiced primary-care internal medicine for over 20 years and i practiced in a variety of settings with a variety of different structures. and i thought i wo

marquette college, it was a small, liberal arts school for men, named for a french explorer in north america. it was founded by the society of jesus a catholic religious order established in 1540. only 350 years later, marquette becama more inclusive resolution when it made the decision to be the first catholic university in the world to have co-education as part of its regular undergraduate program. this was made under president mccabe. he saw the need to further the education of teachers who were primarily females in catholic elementary and high schools. while his significant action was met within with opposition in the jesuit community, marquette prepared to open the summer session to women. since 1909, the role of women at marquette university has changed dramatically. marquette now has a student body where women make up more than half of the student pop ligs. -- population. in addition, seven of the 33 members of the board of trustees, and 39% of the full-time faculty are female as well. mr. speaker, once again, i express my support for house resolution 1161, and congratulate marquette

she was formerly vice president for e-strategy and integration at the north america commercial operations. so let's turn things over to lew sandy to get us off started on the discussion of teams. lew? >> well, thank you, susan. good morning, everyone. i appreciate the opportunity to participate in this symposium, and on behalf of unitedhealth foundation which is an independent foundation supported by contributions from unitedhealth group, we're really pleased to have been able to provide support to this issue and to this symposium which we really think is incredibly important and incredibly timely in this post-reform era. in thinking about how to frame up my comments for the purposes of our discussion around teams, rather than talking kind of from a policy perspective, i guess i thought it would be better to share a kind of experience cial view of teams. this is kind of like the narrative matters equivalent of this similar podium for health affairs because i've practiced primary care internal medicine for over 20 years in a variety of settings and a variety of different team structures. a

migratory birds come on their way to north central and south central america. islands used to be 20 miles long north and south, but because of hurricanes over the years, katrina, george, it's about 16 miles. and ultimately, the fear is in years to come, the islands will be gone. they're uninhabited. a couple hundred years ago, there were a coupled hundred years ago who lived on the islands. now it's a wildlife refuge. and there's concern it will go over the boom and then on the islands and the coastline. >> gary, have you seen any oil other than the oil you just showed us? now, it seems like it's gotten smaller, some people say maybe it's gone deeper but what have you actually seen? >> reporter: we expected this island to be under oil because on the boat ride over, we saw huge clumps of oil for many minutes at a time while we were traveling at 12 knots. when we got here, it was a surprise it wasn't covered with oil. this boom, hard to see in the light. there's oil surrounding this island. while we were on the boat, amazing, we saw these dolphins an man that rays

obama put forth he wanted to double exports in 5 years, quite ambitious, but mexico and north americald have to be part of the equation. private-sector companies like intel or caterpillar or ford or others, the way they produce in the u.s. has much to do with ties in canada and the u.s. if they don't put plants in mexico or canada, they put them in china or brazil or other places. here they are able to import to mexico and take them to other markets. in china, they don't use u.s. import. putting a plant in mexico might take 200,000 jobs out of the u.s., but it saves jobs. integration happens that does not happen in other parts of the world. so for the benefit of the u.s. and mexico, this issue should be on the agenda. we hear about some border issues, but not a big, ambitious agenda speaking about the medium-toolong-term agenda. what we will see most likely is immigration on the agenda. this is a very difficult issue in the u.s., quite polarizing, and also in mexico, particularly because of the new law passed in arizona. president calderon must mention it to play to his home audience.

seventeen the ninth to mike 1804 i want to see american were speaking north and south america. all you putting up a map in a moment. management of 1804 he finished off his american travels with visits in philadelphia, washington d.c. and lancaster, pennsylvania. return to europe to live in berlin until 1827, where many americans came to visit and come excuse me, lived in paris until 1827 and then moved to berlin. the first thing he did when he got to berlin was try to shake up a german science by delivering a series of lectures under the title cosmos. he was urged to publish them, which he additionally eventually did from 1845 to 62 and a greatly expanded version of his never completed. so cosmos was the culmination of a long career and you will be hearing more about cosmos at the end. so what i'll be doing is moving through reading some of my favorite passages and making sure to say a few things about jefferson, given the context here. and it is one, again, one of the surprises and one of the fascinating aspects of humboldt was his friendship with thomas jefferson. so, here is

own communal interest and say this is a community that is more physical danger, not so much in north america, but very much many europe than it has been at any time since the war. jews are entitled to be concerned about that problem. they don't have to wrap it into a bigger problem. they can address directly their safety, our safety, our security and where it is in the challenges and threats to the safety and security come from. >> i agree very much, let me say that working on the hate crimes bill in this country, this was a recognition that speaking out and denouncing violence, that's what we're talking about. we're not telling you speech and symbolism, we're talking about action that leads to violence. when we talk about that, we can't divorce it from the political context in which it occurs. there was an apparent fighting in hate crime activity directed towards african-american in the wake of president obama election . there has been a spike in the hate crime violence in the wake of heated rhetorical deindicate about immigration. there is -- debate about immigration. there is that kind of
