i agree with jamie, the pendulum is swinging back. i was just in new york where the new shows are presented to advertisers. there are several that our defense-based shows. -- are the fenced-based shows. i think -- are defense-based shows. i think you are right. >> that is in large part the innocence movement, proving to injuries that they have gotten it wrong time and time again. this innocence project is based in new york. 300 individuals exonerated on dna evidence. people are starting to wake up to the important role of criminal defense attorneys, but jonathan is right. that court tv, we cover cases where public defenders and criminal defense attorneys are in court. we do not choose the cases based on either or. we see fine lawyer ring from both. often, the best lawyers a vcr from the public defender's office. they do not know the difference. >,7ythey do not know if it is cg albie, one of the best lawyers we have ever put on tv. they do not know how a public defender differs from a criminal attorney. i am shocked that the public has

i think the pendulum is shifting in the other direction. there was a show called "raising the bar" which focused very much on criminal defense attorneys. there was "the practice" my favorite. it was about criminal defense attorneys. there was a cultural response on the part of news media and entertainment media to what the audience wanted to see. >> good segue. jonathan, from the commerce report of the operation, would you agree that the media contributes to -negative perception of the public defender? >> law and order has been running for 20 years in various forms. the media reflects what the public wants. that is my first point. my second point is, i was a federal prosecutor. like any other federal prosecutor, i came to admire, respect, the impressed with the quality of work that public defenders did. the best lawyers in washington, d.c., los angeles. for the most part, those in the public defender's office for the best. the third is, you have a great product but you do not sell it. vkrmall of the media reflectiof defense lawyers come fr

it uses two claws, a motor, and a tail that swings like a pendulum. eventually its developer hopes to use the robot to inspect tall buildings, bridges, and dams, but for the short term he says it works as a teaching tool or a a really cool toy. >>> well, now for a look at your national and regional weather, here's nbc's meteorologist bill karins with the weather channel forecast. good morning, bill. >>> have you done any wall climbing yourself, rock climbing? >> i have before. >> that surprises me. >> my high school had a rock climbing wall. >> excuse me. high school. >> it was very exciting. there you go. that's your fun fact. >> i'll leave it right there. let's move onto the forecast. good morning, everyone. as we head towards the weekend, it's going to be more of the same. yesterday the heat was very impressive. every in the red was at least 95 degrees. from new york city down to atlanta, dallas, we are 90 through phoenix back up to nevada and even all the way up here into southern canada we were into the 90s yesterday. today is going to be very si

tavis: what do you make of that pendulum swing? >> i think it was copenhagen.y character ends up getting invited to copenhagen. that was a great shame. there were the emails. probably a little more made of that. i think people think that scientists are like high priests. science is a messy business. science labs are full of competition and bristing egos just like any human institution. part of the fact that we have almost too much faith in scientists and then there was a moment in the i.p.c. report, the climate change body that reports every few years that exaggerated by a factor of 10 ice melt up in the high tibetan plateau. that at least was pointed out by a climate scientist so in the sciences having to deal with itself really, having to be rigorous with itself. tavis: i want to come back to -- first thing is how do you decide to take a very serious issue, an issue to your point is being debated now like climate change and fictionalize it. >> it is really difficult. i would like to write a novel around this subject but you know, it is full of morals, ethics,

but think these radical swings of the weather pendulum are going to settle out here. mean we've seen 30-degree cooldown this week. that's a bit of thermal shock for most folks. >> and it seems so much hotter. we had a heat wave because it had been so much cooler, now seems cooler because of the heat wave. >> keep in mind, that's the first heat wave of the summer. might be the last! >> may not see another one. thanks. we'll chat again in a bit. >>> meantime, coming up, a surprise for baggage screeners in thailand. what authorities found inside the luggage of a female passenger. >>> plus, pictures are among a family's most treasured belongings. a bay area photographer with some advice on how to take your own prize winning photos. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, >>> and time now, 7:51. welcome back to the early edition. this is, well, a pretty interesting story. an x-ray machine revealed a big surprise at the bangkok airport. police say they found a drugged tiger cub inside a woman's luggage. screeners flagged the bag because of its weight and a trip through the x-ray revealed hidden c

the pendulum is moving back in colorado. this is a year in which republicans believe that they were going to be able to capture the senate seat now held by michael bennett and the governor's office. but along the way they've all gotten tangled up in these internal party fights. as you suggest a lot of it is is who is outsider, who is the insider, who is more conservative in the republican party, who is more liberal in the democratic party? what's the power of the party bases? we've now got these three primary races that are all too close to call. >> ifill: let's try to go through them one by one. how did michael bennett get to be so vulnerable? the incumbent senator. >> a couple of reasons. one is appointed senators or people who get appointed often have trouble because they have no roots. michael bennett has never been in politics. he had come out of the school system. he was superintendent of schools in denver. he had no political network, no political fund raising network or political base. he was plucked from relative ob

there's a bit of a pendulum swing, and so as with that alice, balance is an issue here. and i think if i could just go to the last one. the secretary said we know that we need to show and to really demonstrate that we're doing everything we can to manage these resources well, because we know what tough time the country's going to do what tough our finances. so with that i would be glad to take any question. , if there are any. >> or not. >> on behalf of aicpa i would like to thank mr. mccord for giving his presentation. >> you're watching c-span, create for you as a public service from meerks cable companies. . .

this is how the pendulum swings. track announcer: our last call. henry from the independent line. thank you. caller: good morning i want to direct my questions to mr. adam serwer. he mentioned the fact that he felt that if the stimulus was larger, that weay have had a different effect as far as economy is concerned but if i remember correctly administration said that basically, the stimulus package was doing it's job and it was on-target. and that we didn't need a second stimulus because it was working perfectly. in fact. vice presidented byn said it was working beyond they're wild's dreams and second point. this belief if they run against bush somehow the american people will remember bush, well we remembered bush and voted his party out. we gave the democrat a chance and it's going to be almost two years and what we've seen is basically nothing getting done. finger pointing and the same old, same old and that's why you hear the frustration in a lot of american voices they're sick of all the back biting and fighting and nothing getting done for the american people. guest: well, a

the discipline that the pendulum is museum in alameda.i high, this is pinball and this is an example of some games that here in pinball. it is good for some amusement. their amusement games. many of them we have not seen before games like this, this is complicated. of course there's the old shooting gallery game and you guys, this room what is the concept? >> this is electric games. there is three play pinball. wow >> i've never seen this game before. this one over here is a horseshoe game of what you do is used in this thing at a tosses the horseshoe and you try and catch >> oh no! >> 7 have all of these older games and all of these games, once you play you'll be playing all the games you want. they also have a remarkable selection of new machines and they have 90 machines here at the museum which is located tell me that on wester and edition their collection is like 900 games altogether. most of those games are in their warehouses. this is a great resource. as the fabulous place to come and play for the day. considering that, considerin

caller: i think the pendulum has swung a little too far. intellectual property is only half owned by the intellectual officers of the company. i know it is true most people have a confidential disclosure agreements. anything you come up with will be owned by the corporation. i would like to see laws changed where intellectual property is really a joint tenet between the employee and employer. that would give the american worker in manufacturing more say at the table to where manufacturing would take place, or if it goes to china, you would get royalties, and they would be shared among the corporation and employees. guest: all employees benefit from a company's intellectual property. it is patents, copyrights, intellectual property design. the united states needs more intellectual property. we are not the world's low-cost producer. we are the world's producer of high cost, innovative products. we have to protect that. unfortunately, in other countries around of world, we do not have that protection. in china -- a lot of companies will not ex

to break the current uncertainty and hoped the pendulum swings the other way.nce businesses get up off the sidelines, we need to keep him in the game. one idea that ways and means but -- ranking republican proposed as part of our stimulus plan would allow small businesses with fewer than 500 employees to take a tax deduction equal to 20% of their income. this would free up extra capital and allow for new investment in new hiring and was a better solution when we offered it last year, and it continues to be what we think is a better solution. we also heard a lot of talk in washington about the manufacturing sector. but no action. congress has yet to act on the pending trade agreements with colombia, panama, and south korea. these agreements would level the playing field for american workers, farmers, and businesses and pave the way for creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs right here at home. passing these free-trade agreements was a critical plank in our jobs plan, that house republican whip eric cantor in night presented to the president last december. th

i think it is a very, very clear that the pendulum of your genetics and your past exposure can alterour susceptibility. i just saw a paper that shows that some of the flame retardants, whether or not you see developmental or toxicity in animal studies, is totally dependent on in the genetics of the mouse and tested in. while mice are not men, they provide us with a great deal of information about what is possible within a population. i think paul is going to talk more about the regulatory agenda. >> i taught chemistry at yale university. one of the things that we always taught our students is that when you introduce a new chemical into the world, when you make chemical and allowed, you need to characterize it. there is a wide range of analyses that are done in order to describe exactly what that chemical is. traditionally, part of that chemical characterization has not included its impact on human health and the environment. as long as that exists, the way you are describing a chemical does not include its impact on humans, on the environment, and developing children, we are going to
