where pierre rosenberg is chief curator of painting. when ingres painted this picture in 1814 he was very much admired and also very much criticized-- criticized because critics say there were three vertebras too much in the back of this odalisque. what is an odalisque? an odalisque is a turkish harem girl. you recognize her very well through her costume. the colors are very soft very precise very beautiful. the harmony of it is reverse of the very strong coloring david had used for his great pictures. i really do love this picture. why? well, it's not sensual. it's erotic. it's an intellectual picture. it's painted with his brain. in spite of this it's erotic. it's connected. in fact, it's a connection between brain and eroticism. everything about eroticism is happening in the brain here and nowhere else. it's a very hot picture, but done by an artist whose conception about art is of a very high level. and in a strange way ingres was criticized in the 19th century because he sought to be a reactionary artist-- an artist of the past, an

>> yeah. >> mayor al. >> al rosenberg is the mayor of which city in new jersey?t to be a way to find this out, isn't there? >> somewhere south jersey because i think that's where he was from. >> he ran for mayor and g

our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, has spent his lunchtime exploring the connection between the kremlin and the kitchen. >> now, if you like cooking, let me give you a piece of advice. make sure you squat up on international politics before you choose your recipe. because that could affect the ingredients available for you. whenever russia has a political rowe with another country, it often ends with mosc slapping a ban on food imports from the country she's fallen out with. for example, when the russian government squabbled with the georgian government a few years ago, russia suddenly declared that georgian wine and georgian mineral water were of poor quality and refused to import anymore, and that resulted in big losses for the georgian economy. then russia got cheesed off with ukraine. there was a row over gas prices, over trade links, and what a coincidence, you're rainian cheese was declared rather dodgy and banned. and the latest food feud is over dairy products from lithuania. this week, moscow suspended imports, again citing concerns over quality. but the lithuanians, th

and then he was out at los alamos feeding information to the rosenbergs. out at los alamos. most people know his name. what i think is interesting, an amazing the article. want to say in 2009. considered one of the most important atomic spies in russia's history and most people in this country did not even know about him until 2009. he was honored in some event in russia. a wonderful article about him. he is in the book. it is interesting stuff. he was in oak ridge as well. one more minute. okay. >> i am a world war to oral historian. out of all the material, whether you found any previously done oral history of whether you had to go out and do it yourself? >> i wanted to do it myself. if there was someone i wanted information on who was no longer with us i would try and track down an oral history, but i wanted to find people for whom it was just going to be my interview with them because that was really kind of important to me. >> did you find very much out there? >> there were places to five right now the atomic heritage foundation has something called the manhattan -- the

liz rosenberg. she's usually here every day. >> she's with her ears on. >> yes. so we haven't heard. i don't think anybody should wait very long for an apology from madonna. i don't know that that's going to be forthcoming. not in her vocabulary. >> okay, you guys. if you want one more reason to love sandra bullock, we have one. first of all, i think she's the coolest in everything and all that stuff. >> she's never looked better. >> she's never looked better. she knows all the words to "rapper's delight." she was on this -- it's like the best thing going. she was on this uk show called "jonathan ross." he said oh, i understand you like "rapper's delight." keep in mind she's speaking to an audience that doesn't know what rapper's delight is probably. >> they might. >> the sugar hill gang from 1979? i don't know. i know every word. because i love it too. they didn't play the words to sing along to. they just played her the beat. and she sang it to the beat. >> let's crank it up so we can really hear it. >> if we could give ms. bullock the beat she has requested. >

. >> joining me now is simon rosenberg, president and founder and a former clinton campaign adviser,rad blackman, former assistant to president george w. bush. so, the bad apples. it's not the administration, it's not kathleen sebelius, it's the insurance companies who put together these plans that now are not up to snuff? >> well, what the president said was correct, is that there were in this individual market, which is about 15 million people in it, many of those insurance plans really don't cover very much at all, and people think they have more protection than they really do. what the aca does is creates a new floor. and in every case where someone's plan is being canceled, they are being offered, you know, a new plan by the same insurer. these are not cancellation in some ways is not really the right term. that plan is being terminated, new plans are being offered and they have options to go on the exchange. >> but you make it sound like it's automatically the exact same plan, and if it was -- >> no, no, i'm not implying that at all. >> if it was, why is it being canceled? >> n

. >> joining me now, christian anderson, vice president of the winston group and simon rosenberg, analystent of indian, a progressive think tank. here's my question. the reason we say who is getting fired and not should somebody be fired is they've got over $93 millionf taxpayers' money just to set up the web sites which apparently stink. $93 million. so we talked about this with pete hegeseth. accountability. where is the accountability for that failure? christian? >> i feel sorry for david carney when he has to defend this rollout. he has a tough job saying there is accountability and everything will be fine. the real accountability has to be made where key decisions were made that led to this disaster. first there was a decision sort of made at the top to not roll out the parameters for what these changes would look like until after the 2012 elections so republicans wouldn't have the parameters as a way to attack democrats, so that goes all the way up to the top. that's president obama who they decided to sort of preserve his ability to be reelected. hey, let's not create a political s

dave being followed by two runners from pennsylvania, brian rosenberg and brian chris bell.

rosenberg, texas. hello to wesley on our democrats line. >> yes. can you hear me? >> sure can. go ahead. >> yes. was wondering, just like on the affordable health care, why would anyone not want to see everybody in the united states of america with affordable health care? i mean, we really need that and i worked 41 years of my life, i'm retired, but everybody needs health care. and i don't know for the life of me why they would vote against affordable health care. >> ok. josh is in battle creek, michigan. he's on our republican line. good afternoon. >> hey, good afternoon. i have a question. what about the v.a.? because i was told today by my fiduciary representative that my benefits are getsing caught and that he's on furlough. so what do i need to do as far -- it mustn, because be shutting off the veteran response. >> so you're saying the person you're dealing with you said is on furlough? >> right. he's my representative. because i'm a wounded combat veteran. what would be -- i mean, do you have any answer for -- as far as do you know if veterans are getting their money? >>

if we can go back into history with rosenberg, i believe it was in the 30s when they sold out information to a foreign country. they were, at that time, executed. i don't understand how this -- and theyho is are not allowed to go over and pick him up or have him sent back to the nsa and he should -- sent back to the nsa. and he should be prosecuted. --elieve they should stop when they stop spying on foreign countries we are asking ourselves to be bombed and we go through the same thing the other countries are going through, running from bombs. comments,e type of the questions you have about spying on u.s. allies are sure to come up when the house intelligence committee meets this afternoon at 1 p.m. eastern time. to hear testimony from the top nsa security officials, we will be covering it on c-span3 and on c-span.org. the chairman of the committee, mike rogers, was on the sunday talk shows. he defended spying on u.s. allies and made the case that it actually helps our allies with the united states is doing. he also tweeted this out yesterday evening -- 24 members of the republican party

. >> one of my favorite stories in the paper today, in the journal about david rosenberg, famousou rech you seeing stubborn colleagues join you in a bullish camp? >> i don't know about that. 3%, talking about gdp growths a takenable next year. the private sector is doing that and the government sector's -- i don't mean physicfiscal drag bu about what goes on with inter-drucing health care and other uncertainties, maybe a small impact from the closures of the government for 16 days but i don't think that's going to be particularly consequential. i see as we go into 2014 that we can see some better growth numbers. but what's interesting, is the jobs numbers have been speaking as if gdp growth has been close to 3%. given the kind of payroll numbers, close to 200,000 over 2 years. >> at the same time the revisions have shown more of a slowdown over the summer than what was originally reported. in terms of payrolls, thinking about the july number in particular, then we get the housing data today that wasn't great. i guess if we got 2,000 tomorrow, it would be the highest since, what, april?

the first set of retention bonuses, and it was approved by the government by the name of william rosenberg it was then a system administrator. the second round of retention bonuses were prepared in 2000. again, mr. brenner recommended him and it was signed by mr. perciasepe by the time was the then assistant administrator. >> so mr. brenner, the gentleman with whom he felt his house to the guy he is recommending to get an illegal bonus and it has other business relationships, he's recommending that the kids this bonus treatment. now, mr. brenner, did you think he had another job offer? >> yes. this was in 1991 when the original -- >> did you get in writing? did you get a copy in writing? was in the file information about the job offer that entitled him to this additional pay and scam? >> i don't remember whether we had it in writing or whether we had obtained the information through a phone call, but he did have an offer. i would note that -- >> there is no offer unless it's put into the file. and mr. sullivan, where he researched this and get back to his? was there anything in the file an
