internet has proven itself to be a net and yet it's still fighting this bloody war and of course if publishing co wasn't being backed politically economically and also undoubtedly militarily by people in washington and in brussels would really be still prosecutes in this war when the ukrainian military is not achieving any progress you know done that the further this goes on the more of a identity issue arises in the east of ukraine because before all this nonsense this invented crisis i really want to stress that invented crisis public opinion polls in the east of the country people didn't want to join russia well every day that passes more deaths people are going to rethink that and then we're going to even have a bigger problem here because we're going to have a self partition this is and then washington being uncompromising wants everything this is a catastrophe well i mean some people are alluding to this as being a replay of the fifteenth century or something and i guess if you wanted to go back that far which is you know. in this hemisphere you could but i think the context of bloc politic

ukraine or not or is it the west which is spec'ing portion of the west could easily influence publishing co and the rest ukraine by saying if you are not negotiating if you are not coming down if you don't stop your attacks against civilians we will stop immediately all our support but the west doesn't do that by the way this is the same principle for example we see in syria the syrian war is going as long as the west is spec'ing the so-called rebellion at the moment the west doesn't back anymore any rebellion it will stop so it's the same in ukraine pushing for hence the support of the west and as long the west is not stopping that support with pushing him to serious negotiations it won't stop it will go on then where do you think the ukrainian president i mean hoot. where is his power base is it washington in brussels or is it people like the right sector he has a genuine supports amongst the ukrainian people both in the east in the west and when he did poll far ahead of anybody else in the presidential elections and partly because he doesn't belong belong to any of the traditional camps

absolutely always going to be independent and interlinked intertwined with russia it's unavoidable publishing co said it himself just yes things that you might wish to be neighbors of canada or sweden but in fact that's just that's just a no go mr nix i'm not talking about economic interdependence i'm talking about political influence here and russia as you know often is being a. putting additional pressure on to its neighbors and this very disputed notion of russia sphere of influence has been a bone of contention between russia and the west for quite some time but it isn't that also simply a reflection of the economic reality when you have millions of ukrainians tajiks could this working in russia that gives more score a legitimate leverage does it not once those countries achieve some sort of financial independence once they become self the state of like for example kazakstan then they could easily enjoy an independent policy look i think this is actually where you and i probably disagree most infants. are except economic dependence and you and i would agree but i don't see economic help by p

wilson is also a published author, and co-founder of quinco manufacturing-- a multi- million dollar steel fabricating company in chicago. 101. some days we feel that old. but we have a long way to go. >> here we go let's take a look at the weather. if you are watching this morning it may not be because you set the alarm. it could be because of the thunder and lightning. we've had some strong thunderstorms. we will keep reporting on this damage from mchenry county and other counties across the region. one funnel cloud now we see the heaviest of the rain in portions of lasalle county pushing to the east at 50 mi. per hour. heavy rain, potential for strong wind. that is round one. what could be a three ground fight for this severe weather we have the entire area where we have a slight risk. just out to the west moderate. when the store prediction center drops this hear you typically see some strong or severe storms. there could be a good chance of more watches and warnings today. many this afternoon. 72 degrees at o'hare. 73 in waukegan. 75 and midway. you just have to avoid the rain when it

there are now three published studies, and i'm a co-author on one, showing that laws that prohibit those who are under restraining orders for domestic violence are prohibited from having firearms. there are now three published articles showing that those have led to significant reductions in intimate partner homicides. very strong studies, every single one of them. >> how many of those studies were not -- were funded -- >> emily -- >> -- by bloomberg? >> none of them were funded by i -- >> emily, i want to, we're not going to -- this is not sort of a cable tv back and forth. we're going to each go one at a time, and i'll use my moderator's privilege -- >> okay -- >> excuse me. these are all scientifically peer-reviewed articles. you can say -- >> [inaudible] >> no, they are not. they are not funded by the bloomberg. i mean, you want to make this about michael bloomberg, or do you want to make this about facts? >> facts. >> we're talking about facts. i can back up everything that's in my book and anything that i've published. >> okay. >> now, so that's one such example. i just published a

. >> well, it's this curve that my co-authors and i published now 15 years ago. we attempted to estimate the temperature of the earth back in time. now, there's only about a century of widespread thermometer measurements around the world. so we can only document from instrumental measurements, thermometers, how the globe has warmed over the past century to century and a half. and we know it's warmed about a degree celsius, about a degree and a half fahrenheit. what the instrumental record can't tell us is how unusual is a warming like that over that period of time. could it be that that sort of warming happens naturally over a century time scale? to try to address that and related questions about how the climate had changed in the past, my co-authors and i attempted to make use of what we call proxy climate records-- natural archives like tree rings or corals or ice cores or lake sediments that tell us something about how the climate changed in the past. and often these records are available not just 100 years, but 1,000 years or even further back in time. and so

is ben jamman johnson, executive director, co-founded the immigration outreach center of arizona. his organization published two reports highlighting the abuse of migrants in u.s. custody. >> how bad is the situation. some are calling the huge influx of kids the worst humanitarian crisis the country has seen in years. >> it's a huge problem. not just ours, but a regional humanitarian crisis. countries in mexico, anama - they are -- panama - claims jumped. the united states is bearing the large brunt, but this is a crisis and we need to treat it like a serious regional crisis. >> some of the kids are travelling thousands of miles to get to the united states. why the increase in the last few months? >> it has been happening for several years. it's been a spike in the last several months, even the last year. the number of folks coming has been growing steadily over several years, and it's an obviously outgrowth of the traumaticic spike in violence in countries in this reamingon, you see -- region, you see women and girls. there has been a 450% of increase in murders of women and children. honduras is the leade

as co-lien had mentioned, prior to january 2014, employers were allowed to use stand alone accounts and they can place limitations on those accounts, but in 2012 which was the most recent published data on the use these accounts, 65 percent of the employers were allowing workers to use that money for premiums, deductible and co-pays. under the affordable care act, we know it has been outlawed. the only that's allowed under current law that's offered through health rebim ursment accounts is benefits like long term care and dental care. there's a list there and it's very, very upon to note that workers, the 65 percent of the work -- workers where they used to be able to public those accounts, by law they can't use the money for that purpose. we're in this really sort of ironic situation that for the first time in this country's history, there's a mandate for individuals to purchase health inshoe znswer and we're allowing a mechanism to allow with the spending equipment that does not allow workers to access that money for the cost of health insurance. i wanted to give you a sense of the scope we're talking about. current san francisco law allows employers to reclaim money under hra

m is also the co-founder and publisher of skotis blog, the only blog ever to receive the peabody award. yesterday during the supreme court's release of opinions, there were nearly 20,000 people following the liveblog including me and i'm sure many of you as well. tom has taught supreme court litigation at harvard since 2004 and previously taught the same subject at stanford law school for nearly a dect the decade. please join me in welcoming tom goldstein. >> thanks so much. it's great to be with you here on the almost review of the supreme court term. i speak for all of the panelists that were incredibly grateful for each of you for taking time out of your day to come and visit with us to have a conversation about the court's term. the format is as follows -- i'm going to give just a touch of background about the term to give context of other things going on then we're going to turn to the big cases of the term, including the two left to be decided. we're going to assume a fair amount of knowledge on your part because this is a self-selected group of folks who know a lot about the cou

contemporary ways to do business and distribution indeed even the kind of co-op advertising plans that exists. frankly our friends in publishinghas been very responsive and supportive and understanding that the road is changing and they need to help us ensure that we survive. so you've got the democratization of technology as i like to call it, the localism movement, the publisher's willingness to adopt new business models. and then of course, what you have got is this extraordinary entrepreneurial spirit of independent booksellers. they are the most entrepreneurial folks who find anywhere. they love what they do and they desperately want to figure out how to continue to be able to do it. and you know, in retail, there is a time in which the presumption always was that baker was better. in this world today that is changing so fast, often being a little smaller so you can adapt, and make made course corrections all the time is actually an advantage. so we are finding our sizes actually working for an advantage these days and allows us to be able to adapt and change them to be competitive in what is the very, very competitive bu

grant a compulsory license paying 9.1 cents for the sale of a song which i split with my co-writers and publishers son is worth. it's not much of the pay raise from the original 2 cents paid in 1909. in a world sees for my song on the internet radio station are set under consent decrees from world war ii. a judge determined us rates for bid and from considering what the marketplace is my song is worth. consequently i only received thousands on a penny for those performances. i appreciate the luxury of the internet as much as you do and i suppose i'm as much of a slave to my smartphone is anyone but the current system has devalued the musical composition to the point where songwriters are being crushed. it's bad enough that it's so easy to steal the music today but a legal framework that allows songs to be streamed for nearly free will destroy the livelihood of the american songwriter if it's allowed to continue. an important piece of legislation called the songwriter act would be introduced that would allow my capri eight value to be considered in ratesetting procedures that i want to thank introd

president who employs you and at the same time keep the press co-happy which, of course, is impossible. an australian newspaper has published a photo of kate middleton's bare bum a day after a german magazine did the same thing. british papers refused to show a shot of her skirt that blew up by the helicopter and why should the media stick to an antiquated code of etiquette when kate doesn't protect her own modesty? why should the media expose some royal flesh for clicks. >> remember royalty said they had hem weights when they go out? do you know what a hem weight is? >> kind. >> put weights at the bottom of the hem so that that doesn't happen. i think it was good that they didn't run it. good for them, what would this to covering the monarchy? doesn't really show you anything about how they operate, does it? >> it adds to our own understanding of kate's bottom line. >> i knew it. i knew it. >> you couldn't resist. >> the british papers did the right thing. i think this was pathetic and makes you wonder why people hate the press and why the royal family hates the press. that's it for this edition of "media buzz." i'm howard

co-ops of course. and he and the new york publishers and bankers and the council on foreign relations, whatever, almost the dinners in the last few years i discovered this post presidency which i found is interesting as the presidency so he would have these dinners and everything was clockwork at 7:00 he met people at the front door. at the house was done up in chinese decor and the appetizers were chinese, the waiters were chinese, the dinner was chinese and after dinner there was an organized subject at the dinner and then afterwards they would go upstairs and there would be more chatting and he would look up at the clock and say it's 10:30 and i promised i would get david to the house by 11, so we have to stop now. and everybody knew to leave. but there's more to new york then everybody wanted to come. he became a celebrity. after a while, he thought that new york -- this is in the atmosphere for his grandchildren as he moved to the river in new jersey and he wasn't finished. there was another generation so he had a series of dinners in the river where he was the operative for this and they invited

books that are not yet published all in one package to be one which ones do you want to tell us about? >> guest: we have some interesting nonfiction. one thing we have is the co-founder of paypall, now a big investor has written a book called from zero to one. it is based on when he taught at stanford university, teaching students how to build start-ups and what he knew about building companies and with the companies of the future are going to look like. he worked with a co-author, who was actually one of his students at stanford who was transcribing his notes. when he was giving these lectures he did not realize it was the makings of a book. interestingly, also a founder of a company called oyster, which is displaying here because they are an e-book subscription service. he is practicing what he is preaching, engaging in trying to help other companies in our space while writing for everyone so that we can understand what he knows and hell he did. >> host: what do you think about that concept? >> guest: it is very interesting. i have known for a long time the power of subscription. you can find a customer and give them something that they like to read people

publishing. there is a lot at stake here. amazon is looking to squeeze cachette and get payments for co-op dollars and cachette is trying to holdhe line of preserve their margins. specifically, it's interesting that there are you just think-- amazon takes a cut but they sell little pieces such as -- what i heard in the last couple of days is that they are trying to exact fees for placement in the store, co-op fees, fees for pre-or button so you can put your book on pre-orders. >> socachette would have to pay more for that. >> that's right. at the same time, amazon is trying to get a bigger cut of e-book sales. we've got this model for e-books selling at retail called agency were publishers typically keep -- the retailer takes 30% and publisher keeps 70% and the polish -- on the publisher sets the price and amazon does not like the agency model. if they dismantle the model, they succeed in being able to take a larger margin from publishers that puts the future of large book publishers in jeopardy. >> why cachette? t was fascinating to read about the way publishers met in secret and restaurants in new york city and come up with a

publishing. there is a lot at stake here. amazon is looking to squeeze them and get it or margins and get payments for co-op dollars and pre-orderuttons. they're trying to hold the lines and preserve their margins. >> it is interesting to me the different ways, you just think amazon takes a cut. but they get -- they sell little pieces and little things such as? >> they are trying to extract fees for placement of the store. these are called co-op fees. fees for pre-order buttons. >> there would be a lot of priorities. >> amazon is trying to get a bigger cut of e-book sales. we have this model for e-books selling at retail called agency where publishers -- the retailer takes 32%. the publisher sets the price. amazon does not like the agency model and is trying to dismantle it. they succeed in being able to take a larger margin. it puts the future of large publishers in jeopardy. >> one of the fascinating things -- the way the publishers met in restaurants in secret meetings in manhattan and would come up with a plan to conspire against amazon and work with steve jobs. is this company any different? >> we should say that the so-cal

use cycle three grant funding to pursue more in depth analysis of coinsurance, co-pays and deductibles and analyze and publish pricing data in coordination with premium and rate filing information. >> david, can i ask you to clarify the difference between the rate information and the pricing information? >> right. so that's a great question. so the rate information is the information that the carrier files to justify the underlying, to justify the ultimate premium that is charged in the market. so if you pay, just, making up numbers, if you pay $500 a month in premium, that is what the issuer charges you the rate file something all of the data that supports how they get to that price. so in terms of the interplay between the departments of insurance and the state and federal marketplaces, the departments of insurance are solely responsible for viewing and improving rates except for those five states that hhs determined do not have an effective rate review program. in which case hhs is reviewing rates in that state. so when you go on line to the federal and state marketplaces the premiums you see for qualified

publishers have to to help figure out how to reinvent the business. issues about rapid replenishment, eliminating some of the complicated, ridiculous burdensome requirements surrounding co-op. looking at dating, looking at all the kinds of things not as charity to bookstores, but how do we make the business? >> said the good news is there is an innovation out there. i think we've got a long way to go, but i think we've made some progress. >> i know the choice wants to say something about it, so go for it. but it's exciting? >> i would underscore what warren said. astatula partnership and we've seen consignment programs, log and how that's working in our stores. one of the big challenges for the independent bookseller today is occupancy costs and margins and as we look at how we curate now our selection for the customer, all of that plays a role in terms of what is on display, but is in our stores. and the terms of sale we are getting from the publishers. i would like to see them explore, for instance, guaranteed margins. i think the consignment programs that have been tried along the way in the last couple of years have been very beneficial as far as what we have seen i

a british newspaper, published new documents showing corruption and payments behind quatar's successful bid to host the cup in 2022. declan hill is an investigative journalist who cote the new york times series. he joins us now. so these games that were fixed in the runup to the last world cup, tell us briefly what happened. >> well, jeffrey, it's an extraordinary story, a sinned case working out of singapore and malaysia that for years have been traveling around and police say have fixed hundreds of games, corrupted and gotten to players and referees around the world and this was just some of their activity. they got into the officials of the sub-african soccer association, not all, just a couple. some officials were heroic and trying to stop them, and they were fixing games literally days before the start of the 2010 world cup. >> brown: is there any evidence it reached higher into the world cup itself, into more meaningful games? >> well, i think it's an excellent question because the fixes have been coming to these big international soccer tournaments for at least 20 years, they come chronically and consistently. what we found in the "new york times" investiga
