range resources votes the e.p.a. and said that they would not participate in their national drinking water study unless they dropped the case and texas which they called this baseless you know scientific investigation and texas so that's the way the e.p.a. the a.p. article reports what happened there. it sounds like. well. there's a number of words that come to mind but it's it's really it's been it's. the e.p.a. is supposed to safeguard us and they didn't do that for steve lipski is this is this unique stand alone example or has the e.p.a. been dropping the ball on a lot of those unfortunately the oil and gas industry has tremendous influence not only over our elected officials but also over these agencies like the e.p.a. we've also seen another situation where the e.p.a. again prepared a study and looked into contamination and pavillion wyoming this again residents there were complaining that their water tasted and smelled like chemicals so after three years the e.p.a. finally did the studies there issued a draft f

range resources did not know what they were doing in pennsylvania back in 2003, and then they came upith this horizontal drilling, and we are right in the middle of an experiment. the people affected are friends of mine. i have seen their water. i dare you to go and drink that water for any period of time it is so safe. ryan?irmayor i have been on carter wrote, and offered to drink the water. you offer the people clean water and they rejected you. they have always had problems with their water, the gas brought nothing new. the epa said the water is safe. i think you are confusing a lawsuit with the evidence. because someone in america says something in a lawsuit does not make it scientific evidence. here is something you may not realize. in america, there are a lot of bogus lawsuits. i know that as a shock. you talk about stories from individual families. that is not scientific evidence. that is not a report. you have based on -- you would base it on statistical analysis of the area. >> the science, let's talk about that. >> there is a war on science and is coming from the progress of

regulators had scientific evidence against the driller, range resources, but backed down after the company threatened not to operate the national study on the drilling process known as fracking. the threats prompted the agency to set aside their investigation, which found drilling could in fact have contaminated the water. one of the affected homeowners said his drinking water is so laced with methane that he can set it on fire. steve lipsky said -- a u.s. soldier accused of massacring 16 afghan civilians in march has been ordered to undergo a sanity review before his lawyers can wage a defense based on his mental health. staff sergeant robert bales deferred entering a plea thursday on charges that could carry the death penalty. he is accused of killing nine children and seven adults during a nighttime attack on two villages in kandahar province. lawyers say bales, who served four tours in iraq and afghanistan, may have suffered a traumatic brain injury and ptsd. attorney john henry browne discussed the mental state of john bales -- robert bales. >> he is a strong person but i think he wou

you also have another one, range resources that also may allow it to work with them closely.hey want to frack, they want to drill deep and get that natural gas out. the epa may not want them to frack so they've invited them in to show them things are fine and dandy, important for america's energy independence in the future. thank you, nicole. the dow industrials, 13-8, there we are, remember, 14-160 is the all-time high. so you're 360 points away from the record. now, with all of this news of possible plans for cheaper energy, add to that a recovery in the housing market, add to that a stock market rally, for a moment, ignore politics. and i'm saying that we might have the makings of an economic recovery, a genuine recovery. joining us now is a recovery investment banker, carol roth wgn radio host. i really do see, put politics aside for a second and you really do, you've got the makings of an upbeat, an up tick in america's economy, do you see it my way? >> i see it your way, this is very good news. we're on that road, stuart. but we cannot put politics completely to the sid

but perhaps the most common is that we will identify a country that has resources our corporations covet like want to know the range of their country from the world bank and other international banks but the money never actually goes to the country instead it goes to our own corporations to build big infrastructure projects in those countries like power plants industrial parks things that benefit a few wealthy families but don't help the poor who are too too poor to buy electricity can't get jobs industrial park because they don't hire many people and yet they are left holding a huge debt they can't possibly repay so at some point we go back and say hey you know you can't pay your debts so sell your oil or whatever the resources real cheap or corporations allow us to build a military base. and your soil that sort of thing and in a few cases where we fail where the governments don't agree to these terms the jackals go in and these are people that either overthrow governments or sas to make their leaders and i talk in my books about how i deal with the president of ecuador and the hand of omar to read host and becaus

yesterday we saw a wide range of patient movement vehicles, basically, and it was great to see all those resources and be aware of them. we saw the dual use vehicle from the va that there was one in san francisco and there's one in palo alto and those can take litters of patients. we saw multiple helicopters and we saw the c130j all of those were introduced by very knowledgeable personnel that could take us through what the capabilities of each of them were. i also think that, you know, we saw that there were personnel that would come with those assets. so it wouldn't just be the assets for movement but also assets in terms of taking care of those patients: and that was really helpful in our planning because one of the things we worry about is how will we do handoffs, how will patients get taken care of if they are in critical states and how will they be main taepbed through deployments to other states. we also saw the mobile air medical facilities which was a big question in terms of if patients did have to get moved, where would they sit while we were trying to open up capacity in a hospital to

and on assignment and resource connection are in the mid-30% range.us, i think robert half has the strongest growth opportunities. the reason? this company focuses on providing accounting staff as well as back office support workers and information technology specialists, i.t. these are the kinds of jobs that are not crucial to a company's core operations and that means there's a higher chance they'll be outsourced to temporary workers. hence, why this is the fastest growing category in the industry. on assignment more focused on the health care sector, look there could be some upside, with the work created by the implementation of obama care. it doesn't have the same growth prospects as robert half. how about the numbers? the valuation? we always have to check all these things. robert half trades at 19 times earnings. resource connection, not in the same league. selling for 16 times earning, substantially lower at 13.5% growth rate. you know how important i think growth rate is. when you take growth rates into account, oddly, because it's best of bre

resource for entrepreneurs, people trying to develop new high-tech businesses. so it is a good sign to see that america still has a powerful industrial base, but it is diversifying into a wide range of new types of industries. so it is a large and complex economy. i don't know if you want to talk about the broader economy or not, but we can come back to it if you like. we have been seeing some improvement in the labor market. it is still not where we would like it to be. growth has been moderate. there are some positive signs to look at. one of the key positives that are already made reference to its housing. as you know, house prices in the u.s. fell 30% and the amount of construction fell extraordinarily over this recession. now for the first time really since 2007 or 2006 we are starting to see increases in production, rising house prices will affect household wealth. so that's one positive factor that will help us have a better year in 2013 and in 2014, i hope. if a few other things that are positive, one is that state and local governments, which have been in very contraction in remote because the loss of tax revenue during recession and laying off people, having postponed s

whole issue very long range in terms of future generations and what the great growing income and equality in the united states is, what the demands of our population on scarce resources are. we're looking at several generations rather than just today's moment. >> clearly, millions of folks who are undocumented in this country, already living here, already working here. they have families here. do you have an alternative to allowing them to be productive citizens in? would you be one of those people who say they should go back? >> basically, people come here illegally looking for jobs. and we have to do a much better job not just controlling the border but controlling the jobs so that there's no incentive to come to the united states illegally, if you know that you can get a job once you're here. for those that are already here, a process of making sure that employers are only hiring legal workers are going to create a situation in which it's going to be very difficult for people who are already here illegally to fine a job when their employer goes out of business or they get laid off. at that point, i think that they are going to be considering the opportunity return

range of options as you do. but i would say that from what the president has told me, from what secretary panetta has told me, that that decision will be made to assure resourcing the mission and the capability of that mission. as to what kind of a force structure should eventually be in place by the afghans, i don't know enough about the specifics to give you a good answer other than to say i think that has to be a decision that is made certainly with the president of afghanistan, what we can do to continue to support and train and protect our interests within the scope of our ability to do that. obviously the immunity for our troops is an issue, which was an issue with iraq. all those considerations will be important and will be made. if i'm confirmed and in position to give the president advice on that, i will with consultation of our commanders on the ground and our chiefs, give him the best options we can provide. >> will you review that question of the size of the afghan force with an open mind if confirmed? >> i will because i think we have to. >> thank you. senator inhofe. >> thank you, mr. chairman. senator hagel, my first question's not to be responde
