so on this panel, probably unlike many of the other panels at this year's book fair be, the writers hereill be talking not about themselves as writers, but about themselves as readers. as judge cook described, this book panel came out of a book that i wrote or edited called buy the book, writers on literature and the literary life, which itself came out of a weekly feature in the book review called buy the book. and in that feature is an interview with a writer or an artist, musician, public figure about their life story as told through what they read. unlike other profiles, which we'll go into, you know, childhood trauma and all that other fun memoir stuff. this is the way i think of my life which is through the book sites i've read when i think back to moments in my life, i often think about what i was reading at the time. and buy the book, the idea is -- by the book, the idea is you learn about a person and who they are not only what they read, but through what they read. so there's no preparation for this panel. everyone here is a little bit off the cuff. none of the people on this p

the panels do not use those. with those most commonly occurring minerals on earth.with the silicon man that metal framing very flexible the terror in - - material and is now meeting recycling of electronic waste 20 percent of all panels must be recycled. in terms of when and but what are the services? is said ground for the roof for a wall? but what we have to do is look at the choices california today as of 2013 california is still growing cotton one can identify to be more appropriately used so we have to be a collective and sensitive of some of those older forms. with major portions of wyoming are devoted to coal. a huge amount of appellation has spent destroyed through mountaintop mining. the president up to 40 million acres of the gulf of mexico is open for oil and gas drilling. >> [inaudible] >> we focus more of the manufacturing. you need something that is slightly less common and not what is it in short supply. but it is also valuable enough but but with solar is a matter of making the decision. when the factory is the size of a large semiconductor is a foot

so where is the panel? is it up there? >> yeah, the panel is up there. >> reporter: can you show it to me? >> yeah, i can. let me show you. here it is. >> reporter: oh, my goodness, it's little. >> reporter: the unit costs about $180, less than kerosene, but still out of steven's price range for a single purchase. but he paid only $35 up front, and then 40 cents a day in m-pesa for a year. and he never has to leave the farm. all he does is click the phone, which activates a chip attached to the panel to turn it on. when you're finished paying it off -- >> it should be mine. no more cost. >> reporter: the solar panel has changed his life. he can tend to his pigs at night and his children can study indoors without breathing toxic kerosene fumes. past efforts to introduce solar panels to the slums failed. in part because they were stolen. this has been solved because the same chip that turns the panel on can also disable it. so if you don't pay up, they turn your lights off, they have the ability to turn it off? >> once i don

keep the advisory panel going for sure. i encourage the mayors council on disb ability to holdstuse task and make sure we progress and work with the ace recruiter. the last thing i want to say, something that can be tricky is addressing the isability employment needs of people with all disabilities. it can be-you looking at the ace recruiter of the god of disability employment. that person-the city of seattle has 1 person that works full time for people with intellectual disabilities. you need that teep team approach and a lot of people working on this and not focus on certain types of possibility and disabilitiesism for a employer as large as san francisco i hope you will consider at some point should you have the time and money a special effort for people with intellectual disabilities as well as the physical and psychiatric and hidden disabilities. that is mostly what i wanted to say. it is a huge pleasure to be part of this process and looking forward to continuing. >> thank you. i'm open for questions or comments from

the independent panel appointed by wada released a report. it accuses a number of russian athletes and coaches of being involved in an organized doping program, and it says authorities in charge of testing were also involved in covering up violations. the commission was chaired by dick pound. he says the panel's findings were worse than they expected. >> one of our hopes is that they will volunteer that so they can undertake the remedial work in time to make sure that russian athletes can compete under a new framework, if you like. if they don't, then it has to play itself out, and the outcome may be that there are no russian track and field athletes in rio. >> the commission said russia should submit a list of athletes and coaches who are involved in doping, and they named nine they say should be banned for life. the athletes include mariya savinova, who won gold medal for the women's 800 meters at the 2012 london games. ekaterina poistogova also is named and won the bronze in the same event. russian sports leader said wada has no authority

they have done several iterations of this panel.ding into the 2014 gubernatorial2014 gubernatorial elections, but this year we have a presidential coming up. on the republican side, you asked me year ago, with my 1st question be about donald trump, i would not have believed you. we have a very crowdeda very crowded republican field in which the front runners at the front of the field this by some of the rhetoric we have heard. mexico is not sending their best to the us. joe republican struggle? an election in which you can gain more hispanic support after a dismal turnout in the last election? >> you looking at me. >> pass it on. not only of national interest but international interest. i hope you're not supporting because it is insulting what he has said about hispanics and women in my family members, friends. and then it is also phenomenon, an international one. from out of nowhere, different the very similar. when's the governorship. somewhat argue the most powerful state in the nation mexico, the most educated state, the state w

party panel is back. this is party panel.cuss are you offended that boehner got all smoke the bear in his office when everyone else in the capitol had to smoke in a shaming fish bowl. >> let me tell you, back when, i smoked, there of a fish bowl you would have to sit in, people would look at you, and say youers losers that are addicted, that is what actually made me quit, and so john boehner lets to light it up, that is not right. kennedy: the smell could be worse. >> the guy i feel bad for is the guy that got office after dennis hastert. a real messy office to clean up. >> what are you talking about? kennedy: does speaker ryan or does he not love iran. >> he has distanced himself. i reject this because. 92 he said -- >> it you imagine being a staffer, are you kidding me? >> anthem or something. >> i got through it. kennedy: i have floater. >> "new york post" reports that tattoo popularity has surged with 20% of americans now with an arm stretch or a tramp stamp, regrets about tattoos have also skyrocketed, more people and ce

>> it makes the point of solar panels. when the cost of manufacturing solar panels, it's right to reduce subsidy. something i seem the labour party making. i think you can see the right balance between affordable energy and making sure we meet our green target. that's what we are committed to. in addition to that, building the first nuclear station for decades in our country, something that the labour party talked a lot about in government but weren't putting into action when government. [shouting] >> in the past few weeks a thousand jobs have been lost in solar companies in britain as they've gone, i've got a question from some solar benefiters, cutting fees and tariffs means you are stopping solar projects that will help in giving jobs. why do you want to throw all this away? >> we are doubling investment in renewable energy in this parliament, as for solar panels, i think i'm right in saying over a million homes were fitted with solar panels. it's right that we go on supporting that industry but we should do it recogniz

cory: i have solar panels on my house, but i own those panels.rs and i go to sell my house, that is a liability? do i have to pay you back? it is not a liability. you have a house that generates electricity at a lower rate. it is an asset. besides we are right now, we have about 20 people move every day. 100% success rate in transferring it. the obligation to transfer owner.prior what happens as energy prices are falling? lyndon: this is one of the things people don't understand. wholesale energy rates are declining. retail energy rates are increasing. we will be increasing our pricing because retail rates are crude -- increasing. in a most every state, most of the retail rates have increased. california is having a large increase. cory: california is going to go through a change, what they charge a homeowner for connecting their solar panels to the grid. how much will it hurt your installation? lyndon: the whole policy change right now is something they call net metering. you are allowed to install a solar panel and back feed onto the grid. we a

bose. [ applause ] >> i was in a wonderful panel. every panel has been wonderful.with ed rollins, who is in the audience. he said you have about 20 or 25 minutes before you lose everybody. tv shows, presidential speeches, whatever. so i'm going to be far less than that, so i hope to completely capture your attention in the 10 or 12 minutes that i have since i'm far less than ed rollins '25 minutes. mina asked our panel to talk about the political ideology of george bush in a way to reframe or rethink everything we've heard over the last three days. graham dobbs is going to talk to you about some thoughts he has where he compares was george w. bush a conservative, was george w. bush a neo-conservative. i want to offer a new frame work of that because what i think is, in fact, he does have a very clear ideology. his political ideology is framed within his own personal moral code. the political ideology of george w. bush is extremely conservative when you think of it in terms of pro-business, pro-government political ideology, but that isn't who president george w. bu

kcci is a proud co-sponsor, i will have the honor of being on the panel of questioners. "face the nation" host john dickerson of cbs news is the moderator. the panel also includes congressional correspondent nancy cordes and the des moines register's kathie obradovich. new poll numbers out for the democrats today. steve karlin in now, with the . steve: the new cbs news/new york with a big lead. clinton now has 52% support nationally to bernie sanders's 33%. martin o'malley is trailing far as part of our democratic debate coverage on saturday, we will have a live voter panel of 10 uncommitted adults and 10 uncommitted college students. kcci's shaina humphries will speak with the voters before and after the debate to find out how the candidates can sway them. today, she asked one panel member how he feels going into saturday's event. >> as a democrat, you love everything that bernie says. i just feel he is relying on a political revolution that i'm pretty skeptical is going to happen in this country. steve: lubinus says he's keeping season. our voter panel will also be wat

kennedy: the panel is back.ou just took off your glasses that made the panel 33% more intelligent. >> that is what happens when they get old. but that legacy extends to his kids. he is known as a neocon. kennedy: that george -- drives him crazy he takes it out of the bush legacy to say in my boy was just trying to get along. kennedy: it is obvious he is being defensive them protective of his son you cannot blame a father for that. but then to the bush 43 legacy? >> but it's but it is a low partitioned. kennedy: is that an insult? >> no. not really putting dick cheney down. >> that could have been anyone's handle. >> so he said he is right about his legacy i think george h. w. bush does not care any more. he is 91 years old. >> he should go harder. they think my eighties will be my golden years to say what everyone to and be a grieg and hideous to say all the things i have wanted to say. now they will say she is old and queued. >>. >> he has always been like that. it was called fly-fishing with the door to greate

with respect to the recommendations of the panel, tremendous panel has been made in all areas. i am proud to say we have significantly altered the way the secret service is structured and manage. we have made strides in hiring new members of our workforce and expanding training opportunities for current members. i'm also realistic and knowing that many of the changes we're making will take time and we must continue to community these changes to our workforce. in the interest of time, i will point you to my written testimony submitted in advance of this hearing for a more thorough description of this process and i look for for to discussing our progress on these recommendations with each of you today. i would like to close by remembering a remarkable leader and true friends, former assistant director jerry parr. jerry is widely known for his decisive actions he took during the march 30, 1981 assassination at tempt on president ronald reagan. the decision he made that day including evacuating the president directly to the hospital, likely save the life of the president. as i refl

we want to continue with our panel which includes peggy than noon. david ignatious. "washington post." jeffrey goldberg with "the atlantic" and michael gerson is here. i want to start with you since the attacks in paris, how if at all do you see republican race changing? a lot of people think it's changed what do you think happened? >> i think some of them are pressing important case. after paris we now have isis which showing strategic ability to strike. solidify holds on territory, it has affiliates or followers in 20 different countries. so i identify with senator graham's sense of urgency here. we seem to have a strategy in place a five-year defeat of isis. maybe we need strategy for one to two-year defeat of isis. republicans -- many of the things are the same but the difference is urgency in leadership. >> dickerson: did you get that sense of urgency from the men you heard today or in general? >> no, i don't think anybody on the republican side or the democratic side communicates a sense that they know exactly what needs to be done, how to do it and how it coul

to discuss these, we have a good panel. we have michael herring, who is cfo at pandora, laura martin, jean pruitt, mark silverstein at spotify, and we'll start with mike because he is just about to release a new book on many of these issues. so i would like to hear your take to start us off. >> thanks. so i wanted to start by saying -- i asked scott if i could go first because i have an awkward and somewhat embarrassing confession to make. i figured this is the perfect place to do it because we're all friends here. it is not like this is being recorded or anything, but the awkward confession is -- can be summed up in three words and that is i don't know. and the reason that's awkward as an academic is i'm trained to know. i'm trained to ask questions, go out and get data, and come back and say the answer is 17.3 plus or minus 2.5. and we've been doing that with some great partners in the publishing industry and the motion picture industry on things like how much consumer value is created when consumers can access all 3 mill

our panel will discuss these issues. on the panel, i will introduce them in alphabetical order. the executive vice president of the national cable and telecommunications association. fcc commissioner who has a long history with regulation. and prior to her swearing-in, she served as the representative of south carolina's district. a nonresident senior fellow at the brookings institution. he also serves as executive director of another organization. executive director and senior fellow at the stanford institute for policy research. the professor of economics at the university of las vegas where he focuses on the regulation and deregulation effects on telecommunications. before we start, i what you do know we will take questions at the end. i will also be following twitter. moderated, someone pointed out a mistake that i made which was very helpful. i will be watching there. i will start with commissioner clyburn to sort of expand on what she was talking about in her discussion with commissioner o'rielly. the servicebout program and thinking about it more holistic way. holisticall

this panel known as a protected mission panel had several glaring findings and recommendations. one of these findings is what i realize and articulated through many years of oversight of the secret service, the law-enforcement agency needs to undergo a cultural change that includes leadership that is capable of fostering greater accountability. the panel stated the agency is starved for leadership. unfortunately, it still seems as if the secret service has yet to be fed. the sense that panel completed its review the office of inspector general has led investigations into misconduct involving secret service supervisors on more than one occasion. inspector general found that in march, at least four supervisors turned a blind eye went to veteran agents, including the head of the presidents protected detail disrupted a bomb investigation by allegedly driving impaired through a barricade at the white house. last month, the inspector general found at least 45 agents improperly assessed a 1980s mainframe to personal database to retrieve information in an attempt to embarrass a member o

the manufacturer paid for the replacement panels. the t tells "the globe" more than half of the dallas needed to be reinstalled. >>> prosecutors say a former dorchester man sold an elderly woman's house from under her street inn, which is a homeless shelter in boston. the suffolk county d.a. says he approached the victim and offered to sell the house on her behalf after she got into debt. he sold the house at a discounted rate, the woman he knew, who then sold to another at a higher profit. >>> the newest movie out shining a spotlight on real life events in boston opens today. spotlight profiles the "boston globe" investigation of the priest sex abuse scandal. cardinal sean o'malley, the head of the boston archdiocese says it reveals a shameful part of the church's past. >> reporter: a local liquor store wants your help. >> the contest is under way and who could come up with the next big thing? next. quely you. brew because it's not just any coffee. it's your coffee, your dunkin'. there are over 15,000 ways to take your coffee at dun

welcome to the panel entitled ferguson, baltimore, and criminal justice reform. as you heard, my name is david stress. i'm currently a member of the minnesota supreme or and was formerly a law professor at the university of minnesota law school where i taught, among other classes, criminal law to first there -- first to my students. i have been asked to moderate .an't -- the panel as you heard yesterday the current administration is actively engaged in pushing a criminal justice reform agenda that includes among letter -- many other things greater cooperation among law enforcement agencies, reforms related to drug and substance abuse, and changes in community policing as a result of the incident in baltimore in ferguson. as you heard last night at the dinner from a panel of governors, criminal justice reform is also an important issue at the state level. there seems to be a timely debate going on about whether criminal justice reforms are better implemented at the state level and local level, or whether a top-down approach is needed. our five panelists which we a

superb question to take the call from the panel to act individually.we brought the george w. bush presidential library to smu he said he didn't want a think tank but the action take. to come up with ideas to put them into action what are the europeans going to do? it hasn't worked for decades so what will the policy looks like? if your house to design that consensus what would it be? >> like he would have a decent living in these circumstances. but to have a general policy but that could cope with a crisis. >> my answer is or has well-to-do immediately and though longer run to work out procedures with cooperative with the standards and spirits that they don't exist but those that do could not be applied because if he penalize austria 15 years ago then every other country in the union believes if they vote for this as it is a member of the zero pp group insurer to expel the country with these measures. this way with the european union to face more and more difficulties it will not be very easy. >> as far as actionable idea is i think the coast guard wil

. >> we discussed some of that on the earlier panel. we need some leeway from the fda on that to make those decisions possible? >> that is one of the many restrictions we face. >> okay. let's also broaden the question a bit and talk about incorporating value based pamt and some of the new alterinate payment delivery models that are coming online now courtesy of cms. bundles, i think one of you mentioned bundles. can we think about incorporating medication -- new contractual arrangement of prescription drug use into bundles or these alternative payment models, dan? >> yes, that's critical. health plans have been doing this for quite some time. we're working collaboratively with cms to bring innovative systems at the health plans have been doing in the private space into government programs. and it's critical. >> what's a good example of one of those? >> you could see what they're doing on hips and knees bundle payments. >> the conference of -- >> exactly. something health plans have been doing in the private sector. just like with the ri

i agree with the panel.t what is somewhat concerning is the fact is there is a falling out there that his message is resonating. a look at who is in the background and who is there. and what i can see is anglo-saxon protestant type. every once in awhile and african-american but i'd be the concern is here from texas. everybody talks about the hispanic population and how it is growing with the constituency as well without speaking to the first-time voters or whatever it is. the growth of the hispanic population is somewhat meaningless if we cannot generate and excite and engage people. doesn't matter hon the particular segment is growing if we don't exercise the right to vote but the message that came across the college campuses was trust they don't trust elected officials. there is a reason for that and it is ironic if you pull congress as the body the numbers are very, very low the unfavorable are high but if you go to any particular district and you pull that particular congressperson the numbers are much h

we are back with our panel. how do we do with it?oo think we should i don't know how you check when they come from a failed state but breaking news right now that one of theg to oe of the dead terrorist is a fake. kennedy: there are a lot of fake syrian passports. >> now a dead terrorist came into the refugee program that could be true but that doesn't necessarily mean you stop the entire humanitarian mission. kennedy: the blood is the bigger threat? >> don't think they are. >> belgians. seriously. >> people with european passports or canadian passports americans are perfectly capable to beat activated right now. kennedy: should governors be allowed to refuse? >> make it one dash one rigo i was saying of worse to monetary crisis since world war ii but today i know one assyrian refugees all around my family. it is hard to with mitt on-camera but if there is 1,000 that we left in 999 are wonderful but one is the sleeper how do track as? >> it is more of a threat in europe with people streaming over with no vetting effort in place. >> w

so where is the panel? is it up there? >> yeah, the panel is up there. >> reporter: can you show it to me? >> yeah, i can. let me show you. here it is. >> reporter: oh, my goodness, it's little. >> reporter: the unit costs about $180, less than kerosene, but still out of steven's price range for a single purchase. but he paid only $35 up front, and then 40 cents a day in m-pesa for a year. and he never has to leave the farm. all he does is click the phone, which activates a chip attached to the panel to turn it on. when you're finished paying it off -- >> it should be mine. no more cost. >> reporter: the solar panel has changed his life. he can tend to his pigs at night indoors without breathing toxic kerosene fumes. past efforts to introduce solar panels to the slums failed. in part because they were stolen. this has been solved because the same chip that turns the panel on can also disable it. so if you don't pay up, they turn your lights off, they have the ability to turn it off? >> once i don't pay, they don't have to

we are back with the panel. dr. carson on a two-day trip to jordan now says that those refugees should stay in camps in jordan, or someplace else in the middle east, with increased aid from the west, but should not be brought to the u.s. brit, does his 48 hours in the middle east solve ben carson's commander in chief issue? >> i don't think it solves it, but i think it probably helps. i think it was wise of him to go there, be seen there, and of course the remedy that he suggests is one that is likely to be popular mon republican primary voters, that means don't bring them here, but help them there. >> congresswoman harmon, fair to say you're a long-term -- if it stays ugly with the way it is, with the spread of isis spreading, the syrian war continuing, what -- and will her foreign policy credentials, ties to obama be a plus or minus? this. >> i think it will help, and there are people who are responsible and serious thinkers about foreign policy. ted not help people who make outrageous comments about keep all the

[laughter] our panel will be moderated by david tsipras.avid went on to earn a masters in soviet history, and after two to pursue aed out career as a cartoonist. in his words, "it may be strange, but it made perfect sense.i was able to -- i was able to combine my sense of humor with what i viewed in life." his first cartoon appeared in "the new yorker" in 1998, and he was "the new yorker's" daily cartoonist for a number of years. he has lectured on the art of the cartoon and he was the writer and host of conversations onh cartoonists, a series artists who work for the new yorker magazine. he has also published both fiction and nonfiction on "the , and aner" website anount -- and that includes account of his family's experience of the kennedy assassination. and now i will turn the microphone over to david, our moderator, who will announce our panel.
