of turn-of-the-century vienna.t was a stagnant society, opposed to change, hidebound by class distinction and strict moral codes. in these circumstances, the erotic power of klimt's work caused an outcry. klimt's essentially harmonious, idealistic view of beauty has a 19th-century flavor. a more distinctly 20th-century modernism arose in vienna wi a younger generation, especially egon schiele. schiele, like klimt, believed there was a spiritual dimension to sexual ecstasy, but his was a brutally direct approach to sex. his depictions of the female nude are projections of male sexual feeling. given they were painted in the first decade of this century, they're unprecedented in their license and intensity. schiele was also deeply obsessed with the self... again, a very modern preoccupation. he saw man as a sexual being tormented by a sense of spiritual despair. he thought human existence without meaning, a continual striving doomed to frustration. schiele's willingness to confront himself and his world directly, howe

simply a matter of exercise of a principle of justice.e know that it is inextricably linked to security and stability. according to the united states commission on international religious freedom, those nations that work to respect human dignity tend to perform more strongly on a broad scale of metrics that command and control societies, where freedom are restricted and economic prosperity can seem unattainable, especially for those individuals who are marginalized and subjected to wrongful religious discrimination. the metrics in countries where religious freedom abound are so much stronger in multiple areas of well-being versus in controlled societies where religious freedom is oppressed. religious liberty is a principle tied to both security and stability in civil society itself. areas of the middle east, for example, where religious minorities have traditionally served as an influence for all peoples, they are now under severe distress. can civil society really have a chance under such conditions as minority faith groups flee from per

some of them from the south end of some of them got pretty nasty. he certainly gave it as well as he got. >> i was struck by what a high level for the dates were in how precise. it was something to read those. he had an interesting playing ship with general custer, is that right clicks. >> that is true. i understand by the way that after lincoln he's the second most popular of biographies in the united states which i didn't know until recently. he was from a town near bingham blank town and he was the person that got them into west point and also the person that was his patron and constantly kept promoting hindering the civil war, telling the secretary you want to look at him he would make a great general. we know after little big horn he did write a letter to his father saying i'm sorry to have heard about this but that's about all we know about what he thought about the end of his career which didn't work out so well. >> that was despite the fact that custer had a fair with one of his daughters. it was a juicy story. [laughter] so, custer kept goi

on behalf of all of us, mr.ou for the wonderful tribute you all paid to churchill's memory. he is -- he has a very vivid memory. as you know, my grandfather visited washington often during his long career but perhaps most notably as a test of president franklin roosevelt during the second world war. on december 20 6, 1941, just days after the appalling atrocity at pearl harbor, he came across the atlantic and was invited to address a joint session of congress just yards away from where this moving ceremony is being held today. on that occasion, as we have been reminded, he famously joked that if his father had been an american and his mother british, instead of the other way around, he might indeed have got here on his own. mr. speaker, he lives here in his own right. not as a guest but as a member of an illustrious amphion here -- pantheon here in this magnificent hall. it is a wonderful and resonant and adding tribute in one which would have forced him -- caused him great ride and pleasure. born to an american

, is full of scars, is full of pain, is full of blood.t carries on the memory of death. the painting it's how you feel by the french artist fautrier suggests the look of broken flesh, its blemishes and craters. the italian artist fontana literally attacked the clay, ripping its surface open. he used scissors to stab these holes into the canvas. european abstract expressionism was more controlled, more finished. the american art had a different look. i'd say that we had looser surfaces. let's call it that. you felt a freshness and a kind of emphasis. i don't want to say violence. that point's been misused in this connection. franz kline drew inspiration from cubism. willem de kooning did portraits that became highly charged responses to the women who were his models. the abstract expressionists wanted to paint on the same level of quality as the old masters or as, let's say, the best of the school of paris-- picasso, matisse, mondrian. they were striving for excellence. they found they did better work when they went abstract. mark rothko c

a lot of tree mortality, a lot of deaths. narror: the oceans, t, small changes in a fragile coral reef ecosystem can have lasting effects. ecologist jeremy jackson is finding human impact on the world's oceans could be setting them on a path of drastic change that he calls the rise of slime. dr. jackson: if the world becomes a world of slime, then there's not much room for people. narrator: these studies -- one on land, the other in water -- are showing just how delicate ecosystems are and what an important role biodiversity plays in their ability to endure. just over 15 miles from the heart of panama city, and steps away from the panama canal, lies soberania national park, a 55,000-acre rainforest that is just one of the many rainforests around the world being studied by tropical biologist bill laurance. dr. bill laurance: the focus of our research is, essentially, how do humans affect tropical rainforests? about 40 million acres of tropical forest are being destroyed every year. that's about 80 football fields a minute, and

but it demonstrated the power of nonviolence, the power of love, the power of the way of peace to bereconciled. >> host: did he come to your office out of the blue? >> guest: he did not come to my office out of the blue. he had been for a time going around to different places in south carolina trying to find students that attended a local college. black college students doing a sit in in 1960. aegon around apologizing to them. a local press person there, he made contact with in rock hill. he told him he had beaten some of the freedom riders. so the first person started working with them and discovered that i was on the bus and i was one of the people that was beaten. he said, that man is john lewis. he's in washington. he's in congress, and so he made his way to washington. >> host: another significant date that you write about in "walking with the wind," figure 27, 1960, nashville, your first arrest. how did that come about? >> guest: i will never forget that day. i would never forget that day as long as i live. 20 years old, we had been involved in nonviolent workshops studying the

her sense of duty prevailed over a kind of sense of morality. in this regard, men were no different from women. so here you can see the scale -- i talked about scale in term of the number of women. now you can see geographically what we're talking about in term of the eastern territories. the stretch all the way through poland. the baltic to the north. ukraine, and this is where these women are stationed. and this is, of course, where the most of the most of the violence and mass killing of the host cost occur -- holocaust occurred. today i want to, in a time remaining focus just on a couple more case studies i have mentioned. that's one of the worst. but i want to stress today that my intention to write this book is not, you know, to shock to -- it is shocking information. t very disturbing information when you get to the cases of the killers in particular. and just the every day experiences of women as they intersected with the holocaust. but i want readers to gain a better sense to try to understand why the women went there to begin with. wha

of the u.n. here in particular and that of course creates a lot of problems and you had to adjust in a number of countries so that that is absolutely obvious and when you are the epicenter of the crisis you have a lot of things to do that's your responsibility not only for you but also for the rest of the world because we are all interdependent interdependent now you can look at it for a different angle which would be more positive if i may you could say first it was the worst crisis of the advanced economy since world war two. so two thirds of a century we had the worst crisis and the you as a currency proved his illions which was totally totally impossible to foresee the external observers whether in asia or perhaps in most schools perhaps a new low would have said it's impossible this currency is the new currency you are by construction in the best in the worst crazy ever that currency cannot behave properly and you knew that it behaved property so that that is something which is a fact the cu

we did a long analysis of what happened in terms of sources of insurance coverage in the cost of the federal government as employees and employers behavior -- we have not done the not done the analysis you requested what would happen if all employers were to drop employer-sponsored insurance. we don't think that is a plausible outcome in the analysis we did and a wide range of plausible possibilities. >> our amendment is for 30, 50 and 100 i would ask the cbo to conduct that. speeding also be did refute is a wide range of possible possible outcomes. on the third issue affordable care act, has a cost over the current 10 year period from the coverage provisions that we estimate to be about 1.3 or $1.4 trillion that money is offset in our estimate by a combination of cuts in other sorts of spending primarily medicare spending and increases in tax revenue relative to prior love. >> what am i looking at when i get $3.2 trillion over the next 10 years? >> i'm afraid i don't know senator. i have the table in front of me that is our estimate of the budgetary effects of the provisions contain

there were many signs of birth -- of rebirth. houses that stood like skeletons on the roadside, the sots intact but insides gutted. many of the residence i spoke to felt left behind and forgotten by washington. they were still in pain. any of them had challenges not just with d.c. but with trent. i know no one in this room has forgotten those families. have soind us that we much more work to do. in new jersey we have an estimated gap of 28.3 billion dollars between what is needed for a full recovery and what we are receiving in federal support. this number considers residential and commercial sector support reimbursement of municipalities and activities. though congress passed a release package in the aftermath of the storm, billions of dollars in federal assistance have yet to make their way to families in need. once they run federally run packages, the reason that the reconstruction mitigation grant program provides up to $150,000 to individual families, critical dollars to help them rebuild their homes. this 600t week, million

have a kind of judgment that is a decent predictor of outcomes. but as often as not, that is a hard thing because you sometimes can't predict nothing less that happen in court and the random mess. the random testimony of judges or juries. so there's a kind of on the fairness in that and i don't know if i am making that clear. .. >> every day in a criminal court room somebody will tap me on this note -- shoulder do you know, who my lawyer is? they have no idea they have not met them. kid you imagine god forbid it did not even knowing who your lawyer was? that is the language of lawyers say and people just have no idea how to navigate and don't even know who their lawyer is. >> said general and fairness is the manufacturer of crime of lot of police departments to undercover stings of buy or bust operation for drugs or for prostitution to use illicit a and other undercover things like robberies' or a police officer with the iphone and i think that adds a level of randomness to cases to devote resources we don't need. >> host: to close out on a positi

of vietnam, in the deserts of iraq, or the mountains of afghanistan. in the pledge drench us the blood drenched feels of gettysburg or the frozen mud of valley forge, each was asked a question. for family or neighbors, for generations you will never meet, for one nation under god, how big is your love. our duty this morning is not to lift their service hire, no personal tribute or feeling of hours, no filibuster or shut down can touch the gift already sending far beyond our earthly reach. our duty has -- is not to lift higher but to dig deeper, to search through the shadows of our own current outs, to rediscover our own true selves. to find within us the power greater than the individuals we are. to seek or touch a stronger truth, a truth to heal the heart of our democracy. a truth that still abides, a truth that calls us to their unfinished work. our parents and grandparents the essence we share as americans. it is the truth that lies at the heart of the american dream. the more she gives to us, the more she gives to our children the more she gives to

of motive, a lot of energy in the direction of getting a deal cut. the service chiefs are very concerned about it, absolutely. they worry about this notion of a hollow force, where you have troops, you cannot train them, you cannot equip them, you cannot buy the necessary clement. we have seen this in the past several years, and it was pretty devastating. >> the apology that was not quite an apology with regard to afghanistan, nor take away from events this week? >> there was a lot of interesting moments there. it looks like there is an agreement rated everyone as talked about their, -- everyone has talked about this, there was an agreement, there was a legal framework sets down for trooper tools -- removal. there is a ground cancel -- grand council that is going to meet, if they approve it, we will withdraw. we are now leaving a very small number of forces, not a robust number, and you can accomplish very little. >> general alexander stepper down -- stepping down, what changes can we expect in the year ahead? >> that was the big difference. it has a

tonight, i am facing dozens of you to the presidential medal of freedom, recipients of this year andears past. it is a great honor to be with you for this anniversary celebration. to wayne, thank you for hosting us. and for all of the smithsonian, with our rich and cultural heritage. and to jack, i am sure the new ambassador of japan will be pleased with how you perform this evening. i will give her a full report. to all the family members of the kennedy family, we are grateful for your presence and your adoring contributions to the uccess of our country. for centuries, awards have existed for military valor. 0 years ago, president john f. kennedy established a way to award extraordinary civilian virtue, contributions to our country, service to our democracy. dedication to our humanity that has advanced the common interests of freedom loving people both here at home and around the world. since its creation, the presidential medal of freedom has paid tribute to the creativity of writers and artists and entertainers. we have recognized the leadership of elected officials and civil righ

so in each of these stories, with all of them.they all make mistakes and they screw up in big ways and they go bankrupt and they make stupid investments. their marriages breakup and they have too many children without a father to support them. they get involved in dirty businesses, but they never let go of the idea that there is something more important than simply surviving and that america stands for something, the question is whether their investment in the american dream is reciprocated and is it still invested in people like them. so the book takes us through their stories and the stories of others while moving between power centers and backwaters and celebrities and obscure people as this time moves from the past, the late 70s until the moment that we are living in now, and that is what i tried to do in writing this book. thank you. [applause] >> staff writer for the new yorker, author of this wonderful book, we have a lot of questions that people are going to ask you. a few things, you just summed up all the problems of ame

and saved the lives of hundreds of thousand of americans. much of this progress has been the direct result of the successful enforcement of the law by the agency and citizens. making progress on reducing carbon pollution from existing power plants will be dependent on both the vigor and enforceability of the role and the state or the federal implementation plans that implement it. therefore, it is vital that the implementation, the -- therefore it's vital that the emissions reductions adopted in the rule be measurable, verifiable, and enforceable in the subsequent implementation plans. thank you. >> thank you. our next two will be james and joelle. my name is jane and i'm here representing myself. thank you for hosting this session on standard for carbon emissions. your generosity is not lost on me. we like to add things out and evaluate the consequences and by my reckoning you're going to be sitting through one or two thousand of these three-minute testimonial. i hope you have a deep bench. thank you for accepting mine. i'm a middle-aged mo

tired of. being playing politics with the lives of people of afghanistan on one hand the president wants to portray himself as a patriot on the other hand he's not able to even take care of corruption rule breaking the rule of law and good governance that's what the people are suffering from he's trying to distract the people of afghanistan from what he hasn't been able to do to for this country the issue of legal immunity for american troops has long been sensitive for afghans in the face of some serious allegations against u.s. forces but when it comes to admitting mistakes in the decade long war washington says it won't even discuss an apology auntie's this account from the interviewed matthieu aikins the journalist who broke a story about claims of massive billion murder which have been denied by and the hurrican officials. the special forces team the green beret eighteen as they're called was deployed to an isolated valley west of kabul where the taliban and other insurgent groups have a v

but rather in the idea of the emergency of a cloud inside of a space. and, first cloudy made in the small skills space put over, which is an exhibition space. yeah, it is a small, mobile space, the walls are not higher than, think about was it three feet. to control the space i thought that it would be kind of the idea to exhibit the rain cloud. and also yes, you start making, and you start making the ideal situation actually. and therefore, i think that a model can only not stand for an idea. so the exhibition space into my ideal perception of a museum space which was the natural gallery in dublin. and i presented that to exhibit the rain cloud. and i really liked that, well the fleeting ideas of the work that it builds up and falls apart at the same time. so after that, i started working in the professional sized spaces. and so, yeah, your locations are important for the work and also well making the work in a exhibition space is also putting it in legalsing to art and history of that spacing and also, like the one before in the museum space you could

that read a lot of resistance from the protests to the sort of other people know more of as well possibly even all the not only the laws. but basically very very ugly rights as they cried my favorite let me know please. call me and look i know that it would be a. book rather unexpectedly the million mom march here in london has paid. the fees that me from the houses of parliament where they were protesting and they won't write down all of them out here in london if you look behind him they're all walking down the hall with buckingham palace. thank. you well then ma'am are protesting here in london have ended up outside buckingham palace moved. out of them even making it across the gate we seeing classes breakouts and i between police and protesters and some of the groups then saying often as we said coming over way down here of course this may be has been taking place in cities around the world tonight but here in london protesters ending the day outside buckingham palace serafin oxy longer than now across the atlantic protesters in the united states also took their chance to deliver a fi

one of our richest people in this country to the tune of tens of millions of euros while at the same time refusing to write down the debts of people who can't afford to pay their mortgage on their house we choose this i don't agree with that and i believe there's another way you just said that you don't want to penalize people but do you really think that something like this would really how to deal with that a lot well there if you got a criminal record for possession of cannabis and it was legalized it would obviously help you and if you use cannabis at the moment and you're in danger of getting a criminal record for it how. to stash help your mental health in fact all that cannabis prohibition is persecute those who have norton negative impacts from its use and it does nothing to help the people who need help is actually just pushes them further into the management of society now you mentioned earlier international trance and the united states and i think the united states is very influential in terms of setting or influencing social trends all around the world and if you take the

more of the public ride of way two transit. a lot of activity in terms of bike plan, implementation, i just talked about oak earlier. we got the jfk drive and bicycle inn and the first bicycle bay which is the turn from out bound market street onto valencia. taxi medallion, i gave you an update on the full-time medallion and peak hours of medallion and we've made pay phones accessible. i see the data each month and the transaction that's done by pay by phone has been increasing so very well received. a couple of highlights on project goal two. in terms of the goals. our customer satisfaction picking up. nowhere near where we want to be, but moving in the right direction. in terms of bunches and gaps and we're measuring to on time performance, we haven't been able to make much head way there. with improvements such as the red carpet treatment and the new vehicles, more pacted supervision of this service, we expect to see that start to move up. in terms of what i consider to be the core goals of the entire strategic plan and this

take advantage of the--take advantage of the paranoia of the times. c-span: the next picture is montgomery, alabama, and it kind of represents the number of the--picked out of here--that--the whole civil rights movement. what--what did television do with this story, do you think? >> guest: well, of course, this is where--this is where television begins to--to play an enormous role in the civil rights movement, and not to mention where a lot of young television journalists' names were--were made. this is when television, probably as much at any time in its modern history, plays a role in--in--in enabling the entire country to participate in a tragedy. from--from montgomery, memphis, all through the south in the mid-1960s, television was everywhere. it was on the news every night. there was no--there was no escaping in the south in 1964, no matter where you lived in the country, what was happening. c-span: what kind of marks would you give americans on race today? >> guest: as we said before the program, 'isn't it great?' i--that's why i like to sit the

of oil come out of the tail pipes of vehicles. ..... ceased being delivered to the united states. the impact on health, well this, they covey economy of the u.s., people may noty, very like to hear it but this economy right now is very, i ry dependent on oil and gas. i cannot imagine a world they are not available tot the consumer.time >> host: we have capital hill hearings end a bit it but what have you heard from finazed?a administration wed the state department report we will be finalized? tha >> we don't hear much morestat than anyone else to be on this. our ceo was meeting with the state department last week a and we expect expect to see a final environmental impact statement issued by the state department sometime towards the end of the year. if you just look through the process, we are probably looking at something around three months or four months, give or take, is issued.inal eis sometime in the first quarter, early in the second quarter next year, i would expect a decision on this. >> we want to thank our guest -- host: we wa

but also the running of the walls of rice. electricity they have nothing this place was devastated but pleasantly and over a week ago and at the moment they still see no rest might even though that is twenty km away with the ministry of the moms up with stockpiles coming in everyday do you feel that you have been left him at you for help getting enough assistance from the government not alone. add the yolks in a half at me since that's how different it is as close as i read that to hear the lazy . yes this is our people indicted on your help. as you can see six faces that i've been here and still people awaiting for assistance as the days go on the situation gets more and more desperate. a smile will from outside that the band was the official death toll from typhoon is over twenty five hundred a with another twenty thousand still reported missing the final tally is certain to be much worse. the majority of the victims are thought to be adults as many children were sent away for the most devastated areas before the storm hits.

dictatorship and forty years of resistance we are here and survivors of of that exile of the chilean you know dictatorship and we're here to you know he's led people know what i'm going to continue fighting in that we're still here. you know rod represents millions of people that have the very similar message people in chile argentina peru honduras bolivia all across latin america that have some sort of connection with the school of the americas and that was certainly the case at this protest there were people from across the political spectrum people from all walks of life well over a thousand people at the event and so many had such a personal story to tell and so many of them were such heartbreaking stories so really it was a very moving experience and it was it was actually kind of encouraging to see so many people of so many different different backgrounds coming together contrast to what goes on on the other side of those gates which is the training of soldiers that go back to their home countries to commit these horrible atrocities how many as i mentioned a little bit earlier

we have hundreds of deaths of north africans in syria.we have blowback effects already starting, like the young fighters coming back from afghanistan, that had a direct impact on the 1990's happening in algeria. we do ourselves a great disservice by not understanding that by putting the syria conflict on hold, it doesn't contain itself. it rocks the north accrington -- north african region and very percent ways. we were mostly concerned in 2011 about the flow of the west and the south. now that is not the concern. it is the flow back into libya. and increasing flows north and east of libya that you mentioned. it is also not correct to see the change that happened in north africa as nonviolent. it is also incorrect to see stability as needing to be our number one goal in the region. stability for stability's sake as destabilizing effects in the region. democratic transitions are unstable. 300 tunisians died in the revolution. 20,000 libyans died in the revolution. the vast majority of the deaths were pro-revolution libyans fighting. they w

thousands of demonstrators have flooded the streets of athens to commemorate the victims of a bloody student uprising four decades ago that event was instrumental in toppling the right wing military junk to rule greece for seven years until nine hundred seventy four but as lindsey france now reports for many this is about more than just history. this demonstration isn't a commemorative the for in that averse are in the public sector uprising which changed so much it makes the side he's physically in the government is not only drawing on who were former students and current students of people who want government change but it's also drawing people who are the aussie affected by the economic reforms the austerity measures that greece must undertake to get these bailout packages the latest word from many people laid up the journalists and possibly university administrators they're here getting their voices heard it's also have even police presence to make sure that everything goes peacefully and i guess infiltrated many of the demonstrations and cause a lot of violence but everyone here

there's a lot of freshwater and a lot of people and a lot of land-use changes going on. well, the largest user of water in this region of florida is agriculture. and, in fact, in florida, in general, the largest user of freshwater is agriculture. but public water supply is a close second, and, in the not too distant future, i'm sure will catch up and overtake agriculture as the major user. i grew up in the bahamas. we lived on a little island, and we had our well here, and then we had our septic tank here. and that proximity i always found kind of fascinating. and i'd spent most of my time out of doors. there weren't a lot of indoor distractions -- very few movie theaters, no shopping malls. so we spent our fridays and saturdays on sailboats in the ocean. and then we'd get home to shower, and the water would be off 'cause we only had water from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 in the afternoon. so, we had very limited freshwater and very abundant salt water. and i just got interested in water resources, thinking about that dichotomy. right now, most of the field work i'm involved in is

some of the wind speeds oui seen 270 kph out of portion of the philippines. rainfall totals a quarter of one meter or 10 inches of rainfall have already come down with the storm system. now this area gets a tremendous amount of storms that happen every single year. somewhere around the order of seven to eight. over 20 impact areas around the western pacific. but this particular one of course one of the largest we have ever seen in recorded history. and some of the initial video coming out of this region showing you some of the damage left in place as a very impoverished region. local officials saying they lost contact with some towns and some villages. some 41,000 people in samar, the country's poorest region have been evacuated from the province, and the samar governor says fallen trees, toppled electric posts blocking roads across this region. you can see the damage heft left behind with a storm system that is literally off the charts when it comes to the amount of winds and strength it packs across this region. 25 million people do live in the path of the

do we appreciate some of these environment of factors and what's the role of the environment? >> guest: i think the role of the environment is very controversial. it's extremely high particularly directly related to environmental toxins. i think one of the issues here is that there are very few safety nets so one of the reasons i was interested in cancer in my first work was some of the ways we have to understand and be compensated or our injuries in terms of faulty designs for somebody doing something that is injured us through law are not able to see cancer in a way. you have to be able to bring a law and be able to proof eight proximate cause but if you are injured 30 years down the line and there is no research that really shows in the way that this chemical has given you this cancer it's virtually impossible to bring a lawsuit. so there is very little way to make any of these companies responsible for the injuries that they made be causing and of course their huge financial disincentives to doing that kind of research. so it's very difficult to do that very expensive kind

in order just for the sake of the observance of law and the making of law. it is very important and people have the right to moral and religious values. i hope that many will feel that is an important thing. even though they can't directly legislate morality or law or religion, they can nevertheless support it in various ways. by the own example and the tone of their lives. >> what was cardinal dulles's relationship with his father? >> actually i found out , something about that that i don't think has ever been published, buried in oral history in the princeton dulles archives. in that oral history, it is an interview with one of the law partners at sullivan cromwell. he says one day, foster dulles called me frantically and said, this is the worst day of my life. you have got to come in right now to my office. i went to his office. i saw him very upset. he handed me a letter and asked me to read it. the letter was to his son, avery, who had decided to become a catholic. for someone like john foster dulles, it would have been better if his son had become a hi

of thousands of jobs in the high-tech world. there's legislation that we are working through. we pass some appropriation bills. >> with all disrespect, there is -- with all due respect, there is a dissension within your own caucus. then carrier bill never even made it to the -- i just the effectiveness of the house -- address and effectiveness of the house. >> when the leader of the senate says he will not take up any bills that house sends overcome, is there not some responsibility there? it takes two to dance. for four years, i know you do not like this, but for four years, the senate -- are three or four years, did not even vote on a budget. we did each year. they may not have liked our budget, but -- >> again, it is your caucus. go down the list. plan b. couldn't get support within your own caucus. you guys are ineffective. >> we look at this and say we passed a budget and e.g. we have been in the majority. we are going caucus that passed a budget that balances. -- we are the only caucus that passed a budget that balances. i

of course, all of this was untreated.the 1960s, we were still pumping all of our sewage out to moon island, untreated. we would get swimmers here, never knowing, in the middle of summer, why you would have a cold. well, we were swimming in diluted sewage. melosi: the major way to deal with pollution, at least until early into the 20th century, was through the process of dilution. the assumption was that the capacity of rivers and streams, and even the seas, allowed for certain levels of pollution that eventually would purify themself. as we get later into the 20th century, it becomes clear that the volumes of waste made dilution unworkable as a single solution. and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants across the united states. today, with evolving technologies, the waste travels through multiple stages of treatment, removing tons of solids... settling out microscopic particles

make a lot of money out of the health care system. that means that you solved some problems and create others. >> joe joining us from cedar rapids, iowa, republican line. good morning, welcome to the program. >> hello. i recently retired from a large corporation i worked for for 40 years. anyway, my main point was on the bronze plans, the 60-40, the 70-30, the 80-20, and a 90-10. but they had all of the mandatory requirements of anybody who buys a bronze or silver plan could easily be bankrupt i under those plans just because the coverage is so bad on major medical and stuff like that. wouldn't it be better to have the bottom three 80-20s, the bottom one a major medical co-pay on emergency room? drug card, second one would be a little better. and then the last two could be whatever you got now. >> okay, joe. thank you for the call. who'd like to take that? >> i can answer -- the short answer is it would be more expensive. the more cost sharing you have, the cheaper your plan can be. they designed it -- the goal would be that nobody co

saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of americans. much of this progress has been the direct result of successful enforcement of the law by both agency and citizens. making progress on reducing carbon pollution from existing power plants will be dependent on the vigor and enforceability of the rules and the state or federal limitation lands that will implement them. therefore it is vital that the implementation, the rule be measurable, verifiable, and enforceable in the subsequent plan. thank you. >> thank you. our next two will be jane and joel. >> my name is jane. i am here representing myself. thank you for hosting this session. your generosity is not lost on me. we like to add things up and evaluate the consequences. by my reckoning, you're going to be sitting through one or 2000 of these 3-minute testimonials. i'm a mother of two with a busy job. i work on tuberculosis and a search for a market that will help us better diagnose this disease. it kills people, mostly outside the u.s., but it is a great threat given the advances of

needs are the lands of the people of the united states of america. i think a little more due diligence is in order. we don't want to mimic a state that says, oh, you want to drill there? here. here you go. no one gets to say anything about it, it's your land, go right ahead. threns one, this is amazing, kind of a fun math issue. they say that the industry can nominate land which is the current law, but they're saying they must -- the government must lease 25% of whatever the industry chooses to nominate in a given year. so there are 130 million acres available on -- for oil and gas leasing in the quites, predominantly in the west system of first year, the industry nominates 130 million acres, that means the interior department has to offer 32 million acres to lease. now next year, only 100 million left so they'd get 25% of that, 25 million acres. as you can figure it out, we're infinitely headed to zero here. can figure tist, he it out better, we might never get to zero but it would be a smaller and smaller increme. yet there are 25 million ache ther

out of a love of deep concern for our country. our national debt is approximately the size of our national gdp. there is no serious plan for us to address that. food stamps has more than doubled over the last decade. secretary bill sac called the food stamp program called it an economic stimulus. food stamps are not the solution to economic problems. they are a symptom of the problem. people can't find work. today, we are watching this national healthcare law literally unravel before our eyes. wouldesident said no one lose their health plan. except the millions of americans who will. , next herush limbaugh will be saying if you like your guns, you will be able to keep them. instead of solving problems, the leaders shut down government. amazing the obama administration is capable of barricading a war memorial despite government being shut down but they can't operate a website when it gets up and running. not just that the political parties disagree. but they are so disagreeable. there is discord and distrust. believe me. i know a f

of. what's up freedom fighters i'm out in martin and this is breaking the set so yesterday was voting day and many americans took to the voting booths to cast their decision for what corporate profit they want representing them in their respective cities i know i know i know i'm sorry i'm so cynical about this so-called representative democracy but let's be honest the big corporate donors behind these candidates are really the ones calling the shots before you bury a head in the sand quite yet hold on there's some great news to report as well as the fact that through these local elections there is potential for great change see largely through ballot initiatives huge shifts are made that are extremely significant and several states voters are presented with opportunities to directly change policy from marijuana to gay marriage citizens in portland maine voted to legalize possession of marijuana for recreational use that's huge michigan residents put the state on the right side of history

in terms of the absence of investigative techniques to probe these kinds of things. thatnk we have learned there is broad-based interest in searching for and finding reasonable solutions that work. wasave learned -- as pointed out earlier -- that the digital economy is far broader than bitcoin, so the issues we're focusing on are not just bitcoin, but for example 22 million users today of russia's web money. we talked about liberty reserve in the case that was made there moneybillion in illegal laundering. we are discovering it is a complex issue, but i think it is one that is addressable. i think the most encouraging itng to me is i now believe is addressable using many of the tools and laws that we already have in place. one of the biggest challenges for policymakers is simply to increase the level of awareness so that countries around the world will begin to use the tools they already have. >> that is part of the reason we're having this hearing. so good. i was talking to a fellow who goes to the same church we do who is in the auto business and sells a lot of car
