i just want to show this highlighted area here which is where this story that sara sidner told us that farmers who are desperate are now basically handing over their daughters. describe for me a little bit of the inherent problem right here. >> this is an area of india which is agricultural and -- agriculture there is based on the monsoon and when the rains come, then they have a good bumper crop and can live off that. when there is no rains there is drought. farmers get into debt by taking money from money lenders to go over the season of drought. this time round money lenders are saying if you don't have money give us your daughters or your mothers or your wives or your sisters. >> this is a disaster. just the way you describe it is absolutely incredible. almost unbelievable. what can be done really beyond raising awareness? awareness is being raised. you've got the secretary of state of the united states, one of the most powerful diplomats in the world saying that this needs to be controlled. how really can it be done? are the people that you're engaging with serious about doing som

sara and ruth, we appreciate it. >>> coming up, a fight for life. three fishermen stranded on their capsized boat battling sharks, blistering sun. incredible hunger. they are out there for eight torturous days. they began to lose their mind. hallucinations. a survival story coming up. >>> here's a story that really blew us away when we first heard about it. three buddies who head out into the gulf of mexico for a fishing trip. a trip that turned into the most terrifying ordeal of their lives. their boat starts taking on water. frantic efforts to keep it afloat fail. and they then spend the next eight days clinging to their capsized boat. and their sanity. their survival depending on salvaged beer, chips, crackers. earlier i talked to these men about their incredible story. plus their rescuer. let's get right to it. we've got kurt, james and trestle doing some fishing in the gulf in august. sounds like it's going to be a great trip. trestle, you wake up and the boat is taking on water. tell us -- take the story from there. what goes on next? >> it wa

sara foxwell's body was found days after being taken from her bed in the night. the man charged thomas l'eggs jr. had dated the girl's aunt who was her legal guardian. leggs has been convicted twice with sexual child abuse. >> if we lose one child to murder, that's one child too many in our state. whenever these things happen, it inspires all of us to ask one another what can we do? what are the additional things that we can do to better safeguard lives of our children. >> the governor tells wjz he thinks lawmakers will debate a slew of bills after this horrible crime. hoping to prevent something similar in the future. >> i'm sure we'll revisit the notion of periods of civil commitment after criminal sentences are completed. >> reporter: right now, when a child sex offender serves his full sentence, the state can do no more but there's talk that civil laws could be used to commit a person who could be proven still dangerous to children to a mental health facility. the head of a nonprofit that advocates against child sex abuse says laws are important but alert fam

[applause] our final speaker this evening is sara who is going to relate to us a most wonderful story about her family and president-elect lincoln here at the willard hotel. this is one in a million. you will be so happy that you came tonight to hear this magnificent story from someone who's family has passed it down to her. and it will now be passed upon you and hopefully you will pass it on to your family in the future. >> i think i'm here because i have an dna relationship to the willard hotel. although i have a wedding relationship as well. when my husband don and i were married at the cosmo club, we brought our generation here for dinner after the wedding and spent the wedding night at the willard. but my story is about my great, great, great grandfather, william bradley. i tooked it up to make sure that three greats were correct. he was here at the willard visiting his granddaughter sara bradley willard who was married to henry willard. well, it turned out when lincoln came here to stay before he could move into the white house, he suddenly realized he had forgetten his bedroom

thank you. >> thank you, sara. thanks to our friends at commonwealth fund for supporting some the research that was used to such good effect in this conversation. and for supporting and participating in the briefings. thank you for your fortitude of listening to a lot of actuarial termology over the -- terminology over the last hour and a half. i think if the insurance exchanges in whatever form run as well as this exchange has run -- [laughter] >> the country is going to be well served. so thanks very much to all of you.

sara? >> thank you, ed. good afternoon. as mentioned, i'm going to briefly laid out a broad provisions of the house and senate bills and look where people in particular are estimated to gain coverage under the bills. in particular the number of people covered through the exchange's and then discuss why we need an insurance exchange and the type of reform bills that are before the congress and with the key issues are in terms of structure and implementation as we move forward. everyone knows by now the broad outlines in the bills, they both aim for near universal health insurance coverage by building on what are the strongest aspects of the health insurance system and large employer based coverage, medicaid, children's health insurance program by regulating and reorganizing the individuals and small group insurance markets which are arguably the weakest part of the current system to reach each bill would bring sweeping change to those markets which have previously fallen nearly exclusively under the purview of states by esta

jon, welcome back. >> that was a very helpful introduction from sara and tim on the basics. i do not know how much further i go, and if i lose you -- and i have been added since the civil war and occasionally i lose myself. [laughter] there's more that we do not know that we do know about how this -- the house and senate versions would actually play out. i am so pleased that philip vogel is here. he runs and exchange extort in connecticut. -- he runs and exchange next door in connecticut. and they could not be more different. when you see a house version or a senate version, you have seen one out of a thousand permutations that may play out. that said, let me try to shed a little bit of light. i start from the promised that this is, perhaps, the most challenging domestic implementation of a domestic policy initiative at least in this century. that is easy, only 10 years but i would go back maybe another century. it is personal, complicated partisan to say the least. and then of course, cost control, which is far more ambitious than we were in massachusetts. we just did acces

the police say registered sex offender who dated her aunt took sara from her bedroom. the attorney said last week his client denies any involvement in the crime. the loved ones can't make sense of all of this. >> how can this happen in the del marva area. i never saw it happen before. people are going to probably cry and a lot of people have already. i know i did. >> family members say she was a bright girl that loved to joke around. there are currently three bills working through congress called sarah's law beefing up laws against sex offenders. >>> a prince georges county family needs your help to find a pair of sisters who vanished. the 14-year-old roxanne and 11- year-old deja owen didn't come home after visiting a relative's home on tuesday. the family is gathered at their home in capitol heights making phone calls, putting up flyers, anything they can do. they live with their aunt who hopes they can see this message right now. >> reporter: wanted ton we love and you miss you so much. we need you home. if anyone has them, please, please, send them home. we love th

and you have to look at someone like sara palin galvanized our party she continues to do that i expect people across the party. get great what is going on in your home state? you have an aggressive senate race for senator kennedy's seat january 19th, is the voting day. tough race for both of them? >> i think this is surprising a lot of people. most people expected that a democrat would just roll into ted kennedy's seat has ted kennedy has year after year. massachusetts is not as monolithic a liberal state as people think. they voted for reagan twice, elected a republican governor 16 straight years. right now there's a lot of anger among independents in particular about the obama health care plan. what are seeing is people are flocking to scott brown. he has narrowed the race it is a single race now. he's raising money from across the country. he could very well win this thing. he's an independent-minded republican not a rubber stamp kind of guy. but he brings energy, passion and experience that i think is galvanizing support in massachusetts. >> greta: it is interesting, should he win,

. >> sean: repeat after me, president sara palin. >> i'm not going there. >> sean: apparently the coldestr in two decades. here's thist -- by the way, look at tampa, 39, more snow in houston, san antonio 27, l.a. and phoenix out there good luck. new york 11, minneapolis, only one he° -- only 1 because al franken is coming home that puts a chill. what happened to global warming? he is it a lie? >> it is not a lie. over the last years the earth is warming. in my own lifetime in alaska i've seen glaciers disappear. i've seen glaciers melt. >> sean: how often do you see glaciers over the weekend? >> they have. the earth is warming. >> sean: there's an ebb and flow totter's temperatures. in 19 2 the same thing you are saying the glaciers are gone lo and behold some of the coldest years on error is this historyia? >> certainly it is hysteria. i think it is a undeniable warming trend for a while, as you say. this is the natural cooling and warming trends of the earth what matters is how long ago. >> the last 10 years has been cooler. science is not consensual. science is an examination of facts.

i think it'll be exciting to hear sara talk to them. host: gary. baltimore. republican line. caller: i want to take a moment to thank you for the work you're doing and there's a lot of republicans out there that have been on the fence and we appreciate the work you're doing and direction. all the effort. my question for you is this, in the next run of elections when hopefully we do get a little more control back we're not going to be the party and will continue to push healthcare reform. there is lot of good work that needs to go on there although what we're seeing is not the best route to take. i want to hear we're going to continue fighting that good fight. guest: my goodness. absolutely. you have to give enormous gratitude to the leadership on the hill who have fought valiantly to get those issues before the american people. we've watched mitch mcconnell and john baner and team on the floors of the house and senate propose, measure after measure, tort reform. how do you do healthcare without tort reform? i don't understand that. so small businesses can pull their businesse

sara? .. and house reform bills and where people are estimated to gain coverage under the bills, in particular, the number of people covered through the exchanges, and then discuss why we need an expert -- and insurance exchange and the type of reform bills that are before congress, and what the key issues are in terms of structure and implementation as we move forward. everyone knows by now the broad outlines of the bills. they both came for near universal health insurance coverage by focusing on the strongest aspects of the employer based health system, medicaid, and the children's health insurance program and by regulating the individual and the weakest parts of the current system, in each bill would bring sweeping changes to the markets which have previously fallen nearly exclusively and of the regulatory purview of states by samisen new federal rules requiring insurance caris to accept anyone who applies, but a good rating based on health status and implement a chance. the bills would cre

instead they devoted 10 minutes to negative comments about former governor sara palin.at an astounding example of biased journalism. it's no wonder five out of six americans see the national news media as very or somewhat biased, according to a public opinion poll. cbs and 60 minutes d should report the facts, not engage in double standards. >> for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> i rise to ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> mr. speaker, today i ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of tony who recently passed away at age 74. tony made a difference in the lives of countless residents of our community. his active involvement as command -- commander of the post and civic organizations like the exchange club serves as a lasting example for the residents of danville and of the valley. at age 17 tony joined the army to serve our great nation during the korean war. later he became a tireless volunteer and advocate for his fellow veterans. he spear headed the effort to re

and then we have a very, very special guest here sara granda, who overcame great obstacles to pass her bar exam and become an attorney. let's give her a special, big, big hand for the great work that she has been doing. [applause] i want to begin with a true story from which we can draw a worthwhile lesson. as you might guess, the schwarzenegger household is something of a menagerie: an austrian bodybuilder, a tv journalist, four children, a dog, the normal goldfish and hamsters and so forth. and in recent years we added a miniature pony and a pot-bellied pig. it's not unusual for me to look up from working on the budget or something to find a pig and a pony >> standing right there in front of me and staring me. now, the dog's food, which we keep in a canister with a screw-on lid, sits on the top of the dog's kennel. the pony has learned to knock the canister off the top of the kennel, and then he and the pig wedge it into the corner. there's this ridge on the lid of the canister, and the pig with his snout pushes this ridge around and around until it loosens. and then they roll the ca

terrorism program, and a piece of that is called the oefts or operation enduring freedom and trans sarasince thing. doing a lot of counter terrorism training, border security, coastal security, trying to support the police, and of course we work hand in hand with the state department to try to make sure we have the greatest impact. host: does your office to get an of resources from the government to do your job effectively? guest: that is always the difficult thing in africa. people who worked on africa in both the department of defense side and state departments side are used to working with pennies in comparison to other parts of the world. i will give you an example. the u.s. government spent $9 billion per year in africa on health development, trade, and good governance and $250 million annually for peacekeeping, border and caused security. when you are looking at 53 african countries, three and half times the united states, that is a drop in the bucket compared to iraq, afghanistan, other parts of the world. to answer your question -- exactly, a resounding no. not enough. that is n

and wreck mend to you, sara chase's book -- the punishment of virtue.e spent a good bit of her life in the last eight years. the book centers on this, the incident which i described where u.s. special operators blocked karzai's planned governor for kabul but she interweaves into it a very well written and interestingly -- history that is well written and well organized and -- and based on a lett of her own research with the original sources, a second reading -- rell important understanding of the country can be gotten from joel's book the opium season. and that details a year in which he was involved in a -- as a -- subcontractor in u.s. a.i.d. efforts in 2004 and 2005 to provide alternative livelihoods, to -- to draw away the work force from opium production. and it gives a great view of the violence and corruption and this complex tribal and world relations. and moreover, it shows the bureaucratic prove fit tiering and dysfunction that -- is -- is increasing the complexity and cost of our involvement, not just in war but in -- in development. a third

dark thursday last week, my friend matt was on the hill and he told me he wanted to run around like sara conner shaking people, saying you don't understand, you're already dead, everybody dies. that's the political logic of passing health care reform. if they don't do it, everybody dies. all of them. they all go down. the base doesn't move. the base sees them as losers which they are. and the other side hates the bill, and i just want to note one thing. when health care was failing last week, i surfed over to my friends at "time" magazine. and my friend, mike shearer who is a very nice guy, even if he's got a tendency to write articles like this, he wrote a piece about the 10 things barack obama did wrong with health care reform. and then michael heaven had written, the five things barack obama did wrong in the first year. one thing to know about the media, my colleagues are very bad at their jobs, you work backwards from outcomes, right? so we failed. all right, what contradicted to failure? well, it is over reach too liberal. you succeed, my depended, how did you make that happen and t

. -- sara blumfield. we have people here from the advocacy committee and members of the museum board of directors. tonight's program is sponsored by the museum's committee on conscience. this is our effort to deal with present day genocide, particularly the areas of response and prevention. the committee on conscience has two major goals. first, public education, working to sensitize the general public at large to the problem of genocide, the general problem of genocide. we do it through programs like tonight. we just took ambassador rise through the exhibit ourselves. the second part is out reach to policymakers. it was a blueprint on the government, to be better positioned on genocide in the future. to get on to tonight's program, is my pleasure to introduce to you ambassador susan rice, our permanent representative to the united nations and a member of president obama's cabinet. you have some biographical information on her, but i wanted her -- wanted you to know that she has had a very distinguished c

jessie, junior seau, troy polamalu, jonathan, joseph sara. junior aiu and many others. i'm asked why samoan men have so much success on the football field. while there are many factors, i am reminded of the late coach vince lombardi of the green bay packers when he said that football is like life. it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. this is very much part of the heart and soul of the samoan culture which it centers on the importance of families sharing each other's needs and respect for others. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from kansas rise? >> to address the house for five minutes. the speaker pro tempore: if there's no objection, the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. moran: mr. speaker, thank you very much. since the earthquake hit haiti on january 12, we have all watched with sadness as the death toll rose, prayed for those affected and rejoiced when survivors were found. it's an event that has directly touched the lives of pe

[applause] then we have a very, very special guest here, sara granda.who overcame great obstacles to pass her bar exam. and in recent years we added a miniature pony and a pot-bellie it's not unusual for me to look up from working on the budget o something to find a pig and a pony standing there staring at now, the dog's food, which we keep in a canister with a screw-on lid, sits on the top o the dog's kennel. the pony has learned to knock the canister off the top of the kennel, and then he and the pig wedge it into the corner. there's this ridge on the lid of the canister, and the pig with his snout pushes this ridge around and around until it loosens. and then they roll the canister around on the floor until the food spills out. i don't know how they ever figured all of that out. it's like humans figuring out how to create fire but it is the greatest example of teamwork. i love it. so one lesson to draw from the pig and the pony story is what we can accomplish when we work togethe and last year we here in this room did some great things working togeth

sara is a student and paul garment is a musician like his father. annie garment is age nine and has her father's temperament and just wrote an autobiography in which she said she wanted to be the first female chief justice of the supreme court, but if she could really be anything she wanted, she'd be her dog lola. so annie's got her priorities straight. c-span: is this your first book? >> guest: no, it's not. it's the first trade book that i've done alone. i wrote one very academic book about anti-trust policy, and then i wrote a book with pat moynihan, after we had gotten out of the u.n., about those seven months. c-span: when you go to putting a dedication down, was this an easy thing to do or did you have to agonize over it? >> guest: i suppose that when people have written more books they have a harder time because they've already taken care of the obvious, and they have to decide what to do next. c-span: how about reaction to this book, and you're getting a lot of reviews. what are people saying that surprises you, and are they ignoring things
