kind of the same thing "washington pos" with a gun anywhere but now we have the ability to illustrate that in new ways. >> i am president of chain-link network and solutions. i hear you are a mother of three. i am wondering how you use technology today to give mothers and the work force more technology to take -- flexibility to take on jobs. to continue work? >> that is a good question. i don't think of technology as a substitute. we cannot use it as a substitute for coming in the office. but those of us have blackberrys and iphones, it allows you to be away from the office to check your phone and e-mail. so it makes it easier for you to be on the road and be available at all times -- in good ways and in bad. you are tethered at all times. i think it just enhances our ability to be connected, but it is not changing @ "washington pos" the way we do our work. -- changing at "the washington post" how we do our work. >> with the elimination of the business section in "the pos" we have two, if we are lucky, three days -- three pages a day for business coverage. what does it say about respe

. >> who is po bronson and ashley merriman? >> po bronson is a journalist and writer.hley merryman is a science journalist and they've taken a look much as leavitt did for the economy. they are looking at the way the way we raise children. there are certain key twists that science has overlooked and recent research shows conventional wisdom about raising our kids is all wrong. and so they won a national magazine award for a piece done on praise. it turns out that we all think praise your children give them a sense of confidence, you're very bright and good-looking. overpraising your children will, in fact, make your children less inclined to do attempt things they don't think they are good at and more inclined to cheat. there are also chapters on siblings. there are chapters on gifted programs, testing for private schools. it turns out that the testing for gifted programs they do in kindergarten and testing for elite private schools they've retested a lot of these kids three or four years later and they have found they have misplaced these kids 73% of the time. three y

. >> who is po bronson and ashley merriman? >> po bronson is author of the number one best seller what should i do with my life, ashley merriman is a science journalist, and they've taken a look much as dubber in and leavitt did for the economy and friedman did for globalization, they're taking a cultural look at the way we raise children, and they've discovered there are certain key twists that science has overlooked. and recent research shows that conventional wisdom of raising our kids is all wrong, so they won a national magazine award for a piece they did on praise for new york magazine. turns out overpraising your children will, n., make your children less inclined to attempt to do things they don't think they're good at. there are also chapters on siblings, there are chapters on gifted programs, testing for private scools. turns out that the testing for gifts programs they do in kindergarten, and testing for elite private schools, they've retested a lot of these schools three, four years later, and they've found they've

[laughter] >> ebitda pos some of the writers of the standard. anyway, i would say this, when i published the media journal for for this some years ago i had someone look at this question and coming back to 1936, every presidential reelection since then and this was through '96, all the surveys that had been done of journalists in terms of voting preferences or presidential elections or political preferences where you stand on this issue or that had revealed the same bottom line which is to say that journalists, and these are journalists at the highest levels, they say the laws that cover national politics sometimes a would be surveys of the bureau chiefs in washington, etc., etc.. they would fall in the democratic liberal side by a wide margin sometimes even huge margins, sometimes narrow depending on back-and-forth. i don't think that changed. i think if you get data on the election this year we will probably see it lopsided democratic. that isn't to say because someone is space in their voting habits they can't do good job journalistically. i

they lead by 4, 6-2. po >>> i just want to wish all fathers out there and my dad happy father's day. >> we move to the ninth inning. mike macdougall told me that his dad and he are very close. >> he's been great. my dad is my best friend, so he's my buddy. i call him every day, and he's just a great guy and i love being around him. >> he was also a senator's batboy and should be here at national park here next month, bob. >> senator's batboy, nice. josh willingham, get used to seeing him play right field, out there working a lot in the days to come. he realizes that his spot in the lineup probably depends on him switching over there. i think the nats really would like to leave adam dunn in left. with austin kearns slumping, he's going to get a chance to play over there when he gets back into form. he will also get in an at bat because it's a double switch. facing aaron hill, one for four and two for 15 in the series. two balls, one strike. field lights on here at the ballpark. it's been cloudy for a while, but comfortable for our fans. well played. guzman to his left. better hur

.  >> bob: a little po will be easy for zimmerman.l wins that battle. two outs. that ball is never where it was when you started your swing when you're facing him, right? >> rob: no, he throws across his body very deceptive young man and challenged him with a fastball that rode back and in and up on lind, jammed him. serious jamming. >> bob: bases empty, two outs, alex rios. he hit the double down the right-field line to set the blue jays up in the eighth before joel hanrahan shut the door on him. there's a strike on the corner. a double came against villone villone. orioles won their game at philadelphia tonight 7-2. yankees won in florida 5-1. and the mets held on to beat tampa bay at citi field 50-3. mets will be only two games back of philadelphia. and atlanta hammered the red sox 8-2 at fenway tonight against dykes. 3-1. -- dies kay. >> rob: kawakama and d daisuke matsuzaka matched up tonight? >> bob: it was. >> rob: wow, moodia must have been going bonkers. >> bob: 3-1 on rios. beimel walks him with two outs. >> rob: well, he go

they also raised some unpleasant issues and - po negative points. like other people, i sat and watched these tv debates. i enjoyed the freedom of expression in those debates and the fact that the islamic establishment has managed to go to the help of the people and help them to decide better. this is what i enjoyed. but the deficiency made me sad. for supporters of the candidates, again, those parts in which negative aspects i mentioned, the supporters did not like those parts either. it was done on both sides. here at this platform and the sermon which is a part of the prayer is, i should reveal the fact. both candidates in these debates had their own problems and deficiencies, unfortunately. on one hand, they were most explicit insults against the president of the country. even months before the debate they had speeches given to me and i could see for myself and sometimes heard there had been allegations and insults'. who were the insults' addressed to post to the president of a country where the votes came from the people. they made wrong stateme

throw called third strikes. po >> bob: that's disappoint top of the eighth inning. ballgame still tied at 1-1. julian tavarez still in the game for the nats. come out june 23, t-shirt tuesday. it will be the nats-red sox this coming tuesday. first 10,000 fans get a free patriotic curly w. t-shirt presented by hard times cafe. limited seating available. the tickets have gone fast for this one. drop by nationals.com. by the way, grandstand seating available day of game only at the team box store office starting at 4:35 p.m. you can call the nats at 888- 632-nats for more info. it is time to get your blue jays tickets and get them fast. scott rolen, top of the eighth. blue jays leaving after sunday's game. sox in for three tuesday, wednesday, thursday. rolen led off the sixth wing with a base hit to left. heor

. >> that's a really good point, some years ago with my colleague maury pos lee we wrote a book abouthe most prolific hit man named harry holon, who -- did someone just clap? i thought i heard someone clap. [laughter] we paid his murders at about 41 and he was very good at and i don't think he developed a taste if after 20 murders they said harry, we want you to go run a race track in last vegas, you can't kill anybody any more i don't think that he would have gone, on, let me tell people. it was a job. and i think that is what it is for most of these, even as proficient as they might be it's not that they get like they are going to get a blood lost and need to kill. >> a guy like nick, that is what i was trying to get to earlier, you expect a hit man is going to be a hit man. this was a guy that was trapped in his life and didn't want to do it. the last thing that he ever wanted to do is be involved in this kind he was afraid was going to be him if he screwed it up and ran it was going to be him. >> some of these most interesting what you call it prolific serial killers if you took a

during the ray began presidency, democrats were driven mad by the fact that they po polled and said, what do you think of reagan on this, this, and this, and the country was always queasy about the policies, but liked reagan. host: our phones are ringing off the hook for you. let's begin with a call from wilmington, north carolina. this is t.i., is that correct? caller: that's right. host: you're on the air. you know, you're going to be hearing an echo unless you hit the mite button on your tv. what's your question for george will. caller: george will, i'm one of your fans down here. guest: i appreciate that. caller: a few years ago you wrote an article about what you essentially thought of colin powell and you took him apart. it was so good to see that, it was everything he had done wrong, i'd like you to comment on that, please. guest: i don't frankly remember the particular column. i do remember having a distinct difference with mr. powell on the subject of israel and the middle east. colin powell just now is engaged in a robust argument about the future of the republican party an

. >> there's obviously evidence that has presented the pos dealers arnall costing money but actually can be a lifeline to reenergize sales in their local communities, so you are going to bear the responsibility if in bear the responsibility if in fact it turns out that you wrong and they are right; correct? >> yes. we will bear the responsibility. >> and on this appeal question -- here's the dilemma we have. the bankruptcy code is brutal. this man over here, his grandfather was in the business. his father was in the business. and had there not been the resort to bankruptcy, which was obviously made as the result of the business situations that developed over decades, had there not been the resort to bankruptcy, you would have had to have a sit-down, face-to-face interaction with people that had been loyal, effective and solid business partners for decades; correct? >> the bankruptcy was caused by a market that ended and no credit. >> once you go in the bankruptcy called the rules and that he is to apply, contracts, agreements, relationships, are thrown out the window. the law allows

laughter pos connect anyway, s.o.b. went to the new york yankees stadium and the entire stadium the announced earnest bevin is here and the entire yankee stadium booed. [laughter] [applause] >> good thing he wasn't at a dodgers game. [laughter] one of the figure i would like you to touch upon at a little more length is clark clifford because he seems to have played an instrumental role, and to what extent is this a function of clifford's convictions? how is it he came to be the counterweight to george marshall in the final arguments that were offered to truman? >> as i said in my paper he was influenced by rosenman and spent a lot of time with him and i don't think he had strong feelings about zionism before. but he became a zionist. he was extremely instrumental in what happened and laying out all the arguments for truman that countered state department arguments. and i think he genuinely believed in zionism. >> let me ask one final question then we will turn to the audience, and this brings this forward to the present

business so these conversions don't have to happen going forward today's session ought to be that i mean po 'tis but in asking some of these questions there are shareholders as the american taxpayer being the shareholdering we've got every right to ask that question. what i've heard is not only is it a short time frame but if you wanted to make it an appeal -- the noigs of a dealer trying to put together the whole process or make it back to court maybe the whole process was made. just seems a bit unreasonable. mr. henderson again i come from virginia and we've got a broad dealer network and an awful lot of concern about your requirement. i believe the document you sent out said it has to be signed by june 12. my question is not so much to perhaps second-guess the reason why -- the dealer's got a problem with the manufacturer, you can go to the dealer tfrl -- going forward a deal they're signs up on this june 12 date would lose any ability to have a say if you choose to put some other dealer in on top of him, no ability to control the level of inventory coming in and from a business guy to b

these kids consume 34 million packs of cigarettes a year. 8 po 6 million people i.8 misyo- 8.6 million people in the u.s. currently suffer from tobacco-related disease. it's responsible for 90% of lung cancer deaths, one-third in all cancer death, and one in five deaths from cardiovascular disease. approximately half of all continuing smokers will die prematurely as a result of the disease. sadly in illinois, 317,000 kids alive today will eventually die from their smoking addiction which they started as kids. here's what the bill does. we put teeth in the law to restrict the marketing and sales of tobacco product to kids. we require tobacco companies to disclose the ingredients on their products. we require the food and drug administration to evaluate any health claims for scientific accuracy and public health impact. we give the f.d.a. the power to require companies to make changes to tobacco products to protect public health, and we require larger, stronger warning health notices on tobacco products. these are just commonsense reforms that will start to reduce the terrible toll that

this is po focussed on facilitating the ability of mothers to continue breast feeding after they go backto work. there are two fundamental reasons that this is very important. the first is that a very high percentage of mothers are working. and the second is breast feeding is of huge value to the health of our children. so let me address those points in just a little bit more detail. currently 72% of mothers work full time. the fastest growing segment of the u.s. workforce is women with children under 3 years of age. many women are in a situation where they need to return to work in a short period of time due to the finances of their family. often returning to work three to six weeks after delivery. and so it's simply an act of human decency to protect their right to continue breast feeding after they return to work to help meet their basic needs with regard to the care and nourishment of their children. now, let's look a little bit at the value of breast feeding to our children. we know that children who are breast fed have significantly lower infant mortality. we know that they have a

a temporary measure to give blacks what ucla law professor daniel lowenstein calls a jump start in po politi. a jump start is one thing, but the guy who comes and charges up your car when the battery is dead, he doesn't stay there trailing behind you, with a cable stuck as you drive down the freeway. he let's it go. it's time to let race-driven districting go the way of those jumper cables. america is better off with increasing the number of black officials who gained office in large part due to the deliberate drawing of majority-minority constituencies, but black politics has come of age and black politicians can protect their turf, fight for their interests, and successfully compete even for the presidency. today, most southern states have higher registration rates than those outside the region and over 900 blacks hold office, public office in mississippi alone. covered and non-covered states in the south are almost indistinguishable by the measure of african-americans elected to state legislatures. massive disenfranchisement is ancient history, as unlikely to return as segregated w

went wrong in the marketplace and i can blame the lenders who made that and those that made a fortune po bundling mortgage-backed securities making loans that were not even junk bond quality because they didn't even confirm the person had a job. i don't want to go back and blame my local mortgage broker and realtor who didn't participate in that fraudulent act and say, perhaps there's a few bad apples out there so let's overturn the entire bucket. i'm not trying to argue with you on that. i don't think we thought that particular process through. i think we're lumping -- and i agree. there was a lot of fraud. i can point to a few people out there who made it that caused those problems that i don't need to publicly point out because a lot of them are gone and have been bought by other groups. we know who bundled these and we know who made a fortune bundling them and left the the investors holding the bag who bought the junk. but we seem to be going after a sector in the marketplace that wasn't responsible for that. i would ask you -- i'm trying to be polite in this. i'm not trying to argue

question i have when we get to the point is do these -- can we dalia with the risk peace transactions pos? i think he would each i agree with me that as we have watched derivatives operate in the last few years there have been incredible abuses that have put incredible systemic risk in the economy but there's also been a phenomenal number of affective uses of credit to default swaps and other derivatives that helped create efficiency and strength in the economy and so the question i am getting is can we evaluate these nonstandard arrangements in such a way that we can't tell whether they are generating risk that should then be subjected to greater margin and capital requirements? >> i think we can. can we do it perfectly? probably not that i think through imposing risk limits on dealers, stress testing, ensuring that the margin levels are sufficiently conservative and a high end stress tested so we can have some comfort about that and requiring operational controls, things as simple separation of duties and trade limitations on the individual traders requiring that they have robust compli

get back to the coverage issue which is the issue is the more serious division as to where we are as po opposed to language. >> there's one thing i need to say. congratulations on your 10th anniversary. [ applause ] >> that's not my anniversary in the senate, that's my wedding anniversary. and i asked jackie whether or not she would like to spend the evening talking cbo numbers. i think we'll go to dinner instead. she's here and my two daughters are here as well. came this afternoon. wonderful friends from iowa. >> let's have a shout out for the dodd girls. [ applause ] >> all right. senator coburn, you had an amendment? no. who we looking at? no. >> senator coburn had an amendment. >> tom, do you have an amendment. >> waiting on the resolution. >> waiting on that resolution. >> mr. chairman, i have some other amendments but if we resolve this then i probably won't have any more amendments on it. i have a lot of worries but no amendments. >> mr. chairman, i think what senator robert, coburn and inzio are saying is if the roberts language is adopted or could be included or whatever, it w

po -- professor pollitz, do you see a common thread among the conditions, 1400 conditions, 2,000 conditions, and the computer that can't explain that does rescission. why do you think they have all of these rescissions. >> i think the common thread is that's if somebody makes a claim for anything serious, in their first year, there is an opportunity to go back and review the entire transaction to see if it will be withdrawn. i think that is just the common transaction. and i think it is not consistent with your federal law. and whatever else you may do, going forward -- >> but as to the hipaa law, basically leave it up to the states and hip pa has to be enforced by the federal government, cms, right. >> that is correct. the ultimate enforcement. >> so the value of the law, depends on the enforcement of the law. >> yes, it does and there is a fine, of $100 per day, per affected individual. for noncompliance with the law. that can be levied. >> let me ask each of our ceos this question, mr. hamm, would you commit your company will never rescind another policy unless there was an intentional f
