that is one of the bizarre parts here. it is why in my unexpected leave for me i end up writing a book about checklists and health care because solving these problems is really about saying we are going to be much more disciplined and organized about how we provide care. i designed with my teammates surgical checklist with the world health organization that is a two minute check to make sure there are 19 things to get right in every operation and i was stunned to see into out of three cases before we brought it in patients had one of those key life saving steps missing. we then implemented it in eight hospitals. we saw in a thousand patients the reduce the complication rates by more than 35% in the savings from this kind of program which we depletive need cities, is massively more than anything we have invested in it, but we don't work on these kinds of organizational problems and medicine probably because the incentives have not been there and partly because we as experts don't think of these as problems to work on. >> ho

let me try to address part of it. as john said earlier in almost every case as we were doing the many interviews for the book we were dealing not with strangers but with people we had a very positive and strong working relationships with over decades so in the process we explain to them in great detail what we were doing. we explain the kind of book it was and the terms on which we were speaking and history is important. one of the things we've learned at what times to our panic is as time passes people's memory gets worse. there are not a lot of memos, so there is an oral history here that if we hadn't stepped in and done these interviews when we did i think a lot of it would have been lost. people have said the notion we rely on people with axes to grind. i have to tell you, john might feel differently i can't remember more than five interviews at most in which the people we were interviewing clearly were trying to spin the story, trying to reflect a point of view. they were in almost every instance very purely coop

that is an important part of the story. i think that is right that we recognize that, for some time, the degree of integration across drc south has been something that we have tried to explain to people. it is not that the britain owns part of the afghanistan. we are part of a coalition effort across the south, supporting the afghan government. we have also got troops in kabul, and relatively small number. i testified in front of the senate committee on foreign relations, your sister organization in washington. senator kerry, the chairman of the committee, and a number of other senators went out of their way to see that on the basis of the visits that they had paid to afghanistan, including to the south, they wanted to send a very clear message about the admiration and respect the americans and american politicians felt not just for the british military effort, although particularly for that, but for the british diplomatic a and a work that was coming on. it is important to emphasize that from everything i hear, americans a

on into parts of north texas. the radar is showing not only an area of rain in texas, b it's raining in wichita falls, raining right now into north texas and then it's snow out into new mexico. tonight, what we'll be seeing as we go through the next 24 hours, high pressure in on us. a lot of sunshine tomorrow. more melting. here comes that storm. first in the form of rain in the southeast. then as it runs into the cold air, the snow spreads up and over us. by friday, the snow is around us and it will continue to point up as we go through friday night on into saturday. so for the remainder of the evening, partly cloudy skies tomorrow when you get up and head out. the clouds will be out of here. this was the moisture going up into the atmosphere from that me melting of the snow. lot of sunshine tomorrow. watch out for the wet spots. it will be icy with temperatures tomorrow afternoon getting above freezing. so good day to begin, think about preparations. certainly this is -- as any of the big storms are, this is a d

we actually include that as part of our approach.he caveat is, we have got to do so with the minimum standards, because otherwise what happens is that you could have insurance companies circumvent a whole bunch of state regulations about basic benefits or what have you, making sure that a woman is able to get mammograms as part of preventive care, for example. part of what could happen is insurance companies could go into states and cherry pick and just get those who are healthiest and leave those behind or least healthy, which would raise everybody's premiums to were not healthy, right? -- who were not healthy, right? so it is not that many of these so it is not that many of these ideas are not workable, but we what i said in the state of the union is what i still believes. if you can show me, and if i get confirmation from health care experts, people who know the system and how it works, including doctors and nurses, ways of reducing people's premiums, covering those who do not have insurance, making it more affordable for small bu

the other thing is parts suppliers.at's amazing is that the american parts supplier was actually delivering the safer model and that your subsidiary -- and i don't know whether you're aware that a little after 3:00 the fbi raided three toyota suppliers. and one is this one that made the pedal that's causing it. there is clearly going to be an investigation as to that. i also want to thank you if you are going to be an american company for working with our parts suppliers. i understand you need multiple suppliers, that having -- and it's good to have the competition. that's how we get better things. i understand why as a corporation you need legal protection. although you need to be honest about what's happening here. when you have hearings like this more people file lawsuits. you have to protect yourselves and stockholders. i understand that. but in looking for safety i urge you to look at the american suppliers. i don't know if it was whether you were trying to do cost controls internally on your historic system, but w

that's part of the world that we have been talking about. well, we've been talking this last week especially intensely as we been touring here in the states. we toured in china which is another experience. really interesting, not that much different than touring in the states. but you know, as we've talked about china and with some of our interviews and so forth, sometimes the talk about china, what they are doing and how they relate to us, and is there an opportunity, sometimes they get quite emotional. >> and you have to mention, we got to know david in franklin. and at frankfurt was sort of a clash between china and germany. and the question and where china stands and what china stands for. and the same emotions we sometimes face here. and when we were in china, of course, the chinese asked us what can we do to make our picture, the picture of the world has of us better? and it's quite a bit of communication question. how does china communicate what it is, and how does the west tried to understand what china really is. and in china, we us

you pay, in part, for that.look at these numbers sort of on first blush, you think, well, how could it possibly be so high? one thing that's worth pointing out, again, when it comes to the big insurance companies, they're going to negotiate prices with these hospitals to try and bring it down. you heard 4 cents on the $1 for some of these places. if you're under insured or uninsured you have the ability to negotiate for yourself, even ask to pay what some of the biggest insurance companies are paying at your hospital. one website, smartmedicalconsumer.com. you can take your hospital bill, upload it to this site, they'll break it down and tell you where you can actually save money. >> that actually works? a hospital will listen to you? you have some negotiating power? >> you do. insurance companies negotiate because they have large numbers. that's how they negotiate with a hospital. but the way things stand is often people are underinsured or uninsured or even have just high deductibles. they can negotiate as wel

but that's part of the past and that's part of, i think also, the process of healing and recovery.and so i took on the idea of the 12 stars because i think it was an important part to get to recovery. so that's kind of the background to look into into the market before doing really well want to thank wendy mccaw for her sponsorship of this speaker series for 2010. what a wonderful gift to the community into america to have the voices that have come through here and i've shared with you and have broken bread with you. get out there so people can really see and hear what conservativism is in the 21st century and some of the things that we face the challenges and the opportunities. so wendy, i know she's not here but i did really want to thank you publicly for her work with the foundation, certainly to members of the presidents club and the rawhide circle. i won't even go there. i do think about that because i'm from the east coast of rawhide means something completely different. usually what you have after your mothers don't spanking new.

does recognize tibet as part of china. but the issue remains a tense one.ust part of a relationship that's grown increasingly complex as china gains strength within asia and globally, a sentiment reflected on the streets of beijing. >> ( translated ): i feel that our country is strong now, so we really don't have to give in to the u.s. on every matter. >> brown: the last several months have seen a series of flashpoints. the recent u.s. announcement of a $6 billion arms sales to taiwan angered beijing. last month, google revealed extensive chinese hacking of its users' e-mail accounts, including those of human rights activists. and in december, china and the u.s. deadlocked over how to reach a deal on climate change at the copenhagen conference. in addition, china's halting cooperation-- or outright opposition to action-- on the iranian and north korean nuclear issues has complicated any efforts to rein in those states. then there are the economic issues. china holds hundreds of billions of dollars in u.s. government debt. it had become, in effect, a major s

philosophy as a part of natural philosophy. natural philosophy is what newton did, moral philosophy covers the social sciences. but it also meant for him as it does for us the study of what is right and wrong, good and bad, but human beings are aiming for, what they aspire to, and those things or part of his vision of social science i would say. >> host: how groundbreaking was his work? >> guest: it was enormously influential as mosul said. almost from the moment is was written by say the 17 nineties it was being friends all over. the pri minister of england as of the 70 nates, william pate had read it already in college, the founders of the united states, especially thomas jefferson and james madison were very much influenced by it and were looking to it for guidance as they shaped this country. and then by the time of the french revolution and was extremely important in france and germany. so in a lot of ways, it was the go to book if you wanted to figure out what gernment should do about the economy, but also with the govern

only one part of which and by far not the most important part was the surge.'t even the u.s. decision to start buying off former resistance fighters and paying -- putting them on the u.s. payroll which is essentially what they're now doing in afghanistan. there's something to be said for that. if people are fighting you to make a living and you can pay them to make a living not fighting you, that's fine as long as people have a way to survive when you leave, which hopefully will be next week. you know, if the basis of what you're doing in the country is making permanent a military occupation and thinking it's okay because you're hiring local people to build your air fields and cook your meals and wash your jeeps, that's not a very sustainable basis for reconstruction. so i think we need an entire reset of what our engagement with afghanistan is so that it's not based on a military engagement. it's based on a human development engagement. that is not going to look very much like marshall plan. it's going to look a lot like the end of a military occupation. and

parts of reston saw five inches but parts only awe three inches.irginia, 4.8 inches with this system. let's talk about the weekend storm. i'll tell you what we know and there are some things we don't know. it's complicated storm system but it does look lake we're on track for another storm friday into saturday. starts as rain-snow friday afternoon or evening. temperatures for this one are crucial. there are some indications that some warm air will work its way in, perhaps change that snow to sleet for a period which would keep down snow totals. models seem to be lining up. it could be a significant storm. by that, i mean with moderate to high snowfall amounts, snowfall totals across the viewing area. we'll keep our eyes on that. i don't want to alarm anybody but it does look like this could be a significant storm. fredericksburg is at 34 degrees at this hour. the winter storm warning has been taken down. no longer in effect. a few early snow showers he and there. some afternoon sunshine, high about 41 degrees. that is enough to get some melting und

but maybe the toughest part begins. it's a real test of the administration's new policy in afghanistan. >> it really. is i think no one doubted american military power could defeat the taliban. the question is what could happen after they're defeat in a particular region. would the people -- the afghans, support the afghan government taking over, or would they revert back to the supporting the taliban the moment the troops leave? and so the real test for the american policy here is whether support oaf the people in the region shifts to the afghan government so ultimately the afghans can take over without having american forces do everything and ultimately americans can come home. >> how much is riding on this for the united states? >> an enormous amount is riding on the policy because president obama is made it clear he's give them a short amount of time before he's calling them home. that signal has caused some concern in kabul, pakistan, neighboring pakistan. a lot is riding on the ability to use combination forces, c

that's part of the democratic process. one of the concerns is that the system of checks and balances may be getting undermined. and that goes back to what teddy roosevelt said 100 years ago. if we allow some economic forces to get too large, they will shape not only the economy, but also the politics. antitrust law that he advocated successfully was not so much motivated by economic distortions. and i was an important aspect, but it was by how these could affect the political process. i think as we look at what has been happening in the last year, and would have turned in the years before the crisis, we have to be renewed feeling exactly the question. >> host: this book makes a contribution to it as it lays it as it lays out the case and give some very good ideas about the role of government and what we need to do for theater to directory much for tireless discussion. just go thank you. [applause] >> thank you for having me here tonight. it's really an honor to be at the army navy club. one of my favorite places to go. at

bed is part of the past and part of also the process of healing and recovery. i took on the idea of 12 step because i think it is an important part to get to recovery. that is the background for our will get into more but first i do want to thinks 24 per sponsorship of the speaker series of 2010 with a wonderful gift to the community in america to have the voices come through here. get out there so people can see and hear what conservatism is send it to defer century and what we face with the challenges and opportunities. she is not here but i want to think for publicly for her support of this series and her work with the foundation. survey for the members of the president's club and the rawhide circle. i will not even go there. but i think of that that means is something completely different.

also in a related vein, part-time, people are part-time for economic reasons declined. so what that means is our broadest measure of labor under utilization, it is those that are unemployed plus those that are discouraged plus those that are part-time, who want to be full-time, that declined from 17.3, a 16.5%. that is a drop of .8 percentage points. that was a nice sign. temporary help has added as you know, temporary help has added now almost a quarter million jobs over the past four months. that's quite often a leading indicator of strengthening in the labor market. manufacturing workweek now increased 23, .3 hours this month and 1.2 hours since june. that also is a leading indicator, it is an indicator of strengthening in the labor market. and then, of course, there are a number of other -- there some other data, non-labor market data that indicate there may be some signs of strengthening in the labor market. >> could you comment on any are there indicators that overall job losses will continue to slow? and turn positive in the coming months? >> well, without specul

but it's only a part of the story. in economics, people think about the stock market, interest rates. it is about those things but as a student told me once after she went from her teacher, economics is a study about how to get the most out of life. it's better choices, the fact that we don't have an infinite amount of time in an amount of money and we accuse our time which is so precious. and not merely accumulating material goods. in that sense, economics is to come back to smith and not be as focused on the material. and i think it's useful people understand that's an important role in economics. >> host: here's a quote from "the wealth of nations," book three, chapter three, part 3. >> guest: well, that's a bit misleading. i think it might tend to encourage you to think that making stuff is the road to prosperity. that certainly didn't say that. what he believed was that our skills should be used as widely and successfully and productively as possible. and the way we do that is through our free choices of buying an

it is part of who i am a part of what i do so when i wake up in the morning i no longer think am i goingto write today? i think about what i'm going to write and they do it a little bit every day, usually early in the morning and i work all weekend. when i'm working on a novel it is like having of low-grade fever, it is with me all the time and as they say it is just crucial to who i am and what i do. i get edgy when i'm not writing. >> laptop? longhand? >> always laptop. i was a newspaper man in been in the newspaper business for many years. i think with my fingers. people will tell me, i think with my fingers instead of my mind sometimes but i do everything on a laptop or on a computer. i take notes and stuff obviously unreal people but i really do think with my fingers now. >> when you are writing, does your professional life come into your characters? >> guessed, it does but in sudden ways. hemingway said years and years ago that if you want to be a writer get a job on a newspaper because it will force you to deal with the english language and some semi-coherent way every day but mor

that's the third part of this initiative. today for the very first time we're making a commitment to completely eliminate food deserts in america, and we plan to do that within seven years. now, we know this is ambitious, that's why it's going to take a serious commitment from both the government and the private sector. and we're going to invest $400 million a year in a healthy food financing initiative that's going to bring grocery stores to underserved areas and help places like convenience stores carry healthier food options. and this initiative won't just help families eat better, it's going to help, as will allen said, create jobs and revitalize neighborhoods all across america. but eating right is only part of the battle. experts recommend that children get 60 minutes of active play every single day, and if this sounds like a lot, consider this: kids today spend an average of 7 and a half hours a day watching tv, playing on the cell phone, computers, videof hi vity. so let's move. and i mean literally, let's foro be phy

and have had good reason not to be but that's part of the past and that's part of i think also the process of healing and recovering and so i took on the idea of the 12 steps because i think it was an important part to get to recovery so that's kind of the background and we will get into more of it but before i do i do want to thank wendi mccaul for her sponsorship of the speakers series of 2010. but a gift to the community in america to have the way says that come through here and have shared with you in a broken bread with you get out there so people can see and hear what conservatism is in the 21st century and some of the things we face, the challenges and opportunities, so i know she's not here but i did want to thank her publicly for her support of the series and her work with the foundation and certainly to the members of the president's club and the rawhide circle -- i won't even go there, as rawhide, had to think about that because i'm from the east coast soap rawhide means something completely different.

that shows you how much he also plays a part on the defensive end and he gets down the part and is partense. >> tom: an 11-sec, make it 12- second difference between the shot clock and game clock and 32 combined points. ion john and when you think about it, dayton is shooting 15% and they very much in the game having scored 13 points in the first. and this is a throwback. this is like taking basketball back and to where teams on a short 40 points in a game. >> tom: under 10 seconds to play. >> john: you ask anyone, dayton scored 14 points in the first half. how much are they down? 6, are you kidding me? >> tom: brian gregory's squad with 13 points. the latest in a half was 23 earlier this year and 13 is the lowest for brian gregory's team. guess what, he's down by 6 and temple, 19; dayton, 13. a little togetherness and resulting in little points the first 20 minutes. coming up on the halftime show g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8g8 >> tom: halftime, temple leads it by 6, 19-13. last week in indianapolis, 20 members of the madia went through the same process that they will embark upon next

bill clinton was from the lower part or the southern part of arkansas.en starr was from texas nearby. they grew up in many ways -- well, they obviously grew up in the same time, but in many ways with similar upbringing. very religious, but slightly different. so they take these paths, each of them coming to the peaks of their careers at this moment. ken starr having been solicitor general of the united states. bill clinton becoming president of the united states. i like them both. i have to tell you. both of them deserve a lot of credit here because when i went to ken starr, he was the first person i went to when i decided to write this book because i figured i had written something that could have been viewed as pro-clinton during the impeachment because i did not think it was an impeachable offense. i concluded that if ken starr was not interested in talking i did not write the book. ken starr knew what i had written. knew about my background. he cooperated fully. he gave me access to personal papers that i tried to leave, letters to his kids that show

part of the question is are they quick impact? is there a long-term focus? in areas that are most vulnerable to the insurgency and most insecure, there had to be a counterinsurgency part of that. they have to encourage the population to oppose insurgents as well because otherwise insurgents will intimidate, they will destroy, where they will be sustainable over the long run, where they have been involved in helpful long term counterinsurgency projects. >> are we nation-building? >> that depends what you mean by nation-building. we are to some extent changing our institutions. we are trying to build a national culture which has been weak in the past. one of the things i had the opportunity to see, with 18-year-olds they are doing a very good job bringing together people from diverse ethnic groups and provincess together at instilling a sense of nationalism. we are making progress and that is a long-term effort. you won't do the same thing with the 40-year-old. that is in the long term where you make progress. younger generation afghans who will see the import

it shows real concern on the part of toyota.want to compliment toyota dealers around the country. i went to a couple toyota dealers this last week to take a look at what's going on. they're working day and night to correct these mistakes. and so to your toyota dealers, i want to say thank you for working so hard to correct the problems. now after having said that, first of all, i have a case that took place in 1997. i don't want to go into all the details. a woman was injured in an automobile accident involving a toyota. she lost both legs. and i would like for you to review that. and if you wouldn't mind, give me a response. would you do that for me? >> yes, sir. >> i'll have my staff give this to you so we can talk about that. the second thing i want to do is, i don't understand this, i went to the toyota dealer and this is the floor pedal mechanism that's used in japan and in some cars here in america. this is one that's manufactured by cts here in the united states. and they have done a good job on this. this pedal here has

part of the question is, are they quick impact or is it, are there long-term focus? and then frankly in the areas i would say that are most vulnerable to the insurgency and that are most insecure, there are also in my view have to a counterinsurgency part of that. in other words, they have to help encourage the population to oppose insurgent as well. because otherwise as we've seen, insurgents will intimidate. they will destroy in some cases, a developer and project. so i think they have been effective in some cases. where they been able to be stable over the long run, and also where they have been involved in really helpful, long-term counterinsurgency partner as well. >> mark moyar, are we nationbuilding? >> depends on what you mean by nationbuilding. i think we are to some extent changing their institutions. i think perhaps more important we are trying to build a national culture there. which has been weak in the past that one of the things i got the opportunity to see, spent time looking at the national military academy. and they are actually with 18-year-olds, t

as a part of that. to recognize that government as you and i see it is not necessary as they say it. we cannot use our lens selectively on this population. you have to recognize that it will create hole that works for them and we have to make sure that we provide the support to do that. we make lots of mistakes. we talk to the wrong people. we do make mistakes but we learn. when you were doing something that involves some of the parts of all of your ambition together, you were willing to forgive a little bit. to is a very personal, close up to at the complex. -- type of conflict. and all parties have a right to be involved, including the tribes. >> bank you very much. -- thank you very much. we have a series of additional questions but we are short on time. we formed the nato forum and there was a passionate role of the defense and afghanistan at a time when americans were questioning the war. we are delighted to be able to continue using this formílg4 tt an allied military commander coming out of the

it is part of the world that we are going to talk to you about. we have been talking this last week especially intensely as we have been touring here in the states and we both toured in china which is another experience, really adjusting and not that much different actually from touring in the states. but you know, as we have talked about china and some of our interviewers and so forth, sometimes we talk about china, what they are doing and how they relate to us. sometimes it gets quite emotional and i would say. >> yes, and you have mentioned, and we got to know david in frankfurt, and frankfurt was sort of a clash between china and germany and the question and where china stands and what china stands for. and the same emotions we sometimes here. and when we were in china, of course the chinese asked us, what can we do to make our picture to picture the world has a bus, better? it is quite a bit of communication questions. how does china communicate what it is and how does the west try to understand what china really is? and in china, we used an

what i mean is that in large part of the muslim world are not a part of the globalization supply chain by which i mean when we think about other areas of the world like east asia or latin america or eastern europe there are those economies produce things that are components to things built elsewhere and then are built elsewhere and ultimately are things you and i by. but if he went to wal-mart today you don't find too many things that say made in the arab world. there are not many components or things that have components that are built in the arab world. yes we trade with many parts of the muslim world. we buy oil for agricultural products and they by finished goods but that does not mean those economies are actually participating in the global economy in the manner that is a brazillian argentinian, caribbean and these other economies to. that is a very important fact. when we talk about a globalized world in which the large parts of the world is integrated economically and to one another. that production, trade, etc creates relationships and networks between people sitting outside of

frankly that's what the research at nih in part is focusing on. this is largely a disability of connect activity or the lack of it where the message can't traverse the brain to tell the other parts of the brain and make one big whole. so you get, that's why you get some autistic children who are great playing the piano but they can't do other more mundane tasks because -- >> a lot of this is interlocking and it would be difficult to disengage the individual locality because it's so per vase sniff. it is very pervasive. there are no easy answers. >> yet your son is 18 years of age and has reached a level of adjustment has he not? >> he has. he has improved greatly and it's through primarily education and behavioral programing. there is much more that needs to be done that can be done on the biomedical side and that seems that we are very much closely associated with and working towards now. and that's where the breakthrough will come. >> chairman smith, a
