secondly, helmut testing. because we have a ballot laboratory protocol for recreating the conditions that result in concussions on the field, this laboratory set up can be used to evaluate the new products that i just spoke about. thirdly, the interaction with nocsae. it is the committee that establishes safety standards for sports equipment including helmets. the same elements that are children wear. it allowed us to understand that the speeds and forces associated with injury and concussion in the nfl were different from what they were using to test helmets. bus are open dialogue has resulted in modifications in how helmets are tested for efficacy. as the commissioner reminded us, rule changes. a greater understanding of how concussions occur on the field has been shared with the national football league and provides the competition committee with valuable objective give permission to make rule changes to protect players and make the game safer. a lot like also to take a couple of moments to talk about neuro

and secondly because of this extraordinary environment, many markets were not functioning properly and we felt ways to get those markets better and we've had some success in doing that. we have already begun a process of phasing out or reducing many of these extraordinary actions. for example, as you look at the portion of our balance sheet related to short-term financial institutions to commercial paper market, and two other kinds of international swaps with foreign central banks and other kinds of short-term lending. that amount has dropped from about $1.5 trillion at the beginning of the year to a roughly one fifth of that or less today. and we have announced the closing of certain facilities and plant closings going forward. so we've are to take into very substantial steps towards moving towards a more normal type of monetary policy. and as long as the economy proceeds along the path we think you will, we want to continue to move towards more monetary policy functioning. we will move to monetary policy has called for by the state of the economy, independent of the fiscal situation.

secondly, we listened.t only did we give people a voice, but we tried to listen to what people were saying and wanted and were thinking at any point in time. technology allowed us to do that at scale. we could see when people commented on a particular issue and we could see when people were donateing a lot for a particular reason. because of that we could actually invest people with the power to actually have their voice and make a change. so an example of listening so. actually this is a good one. right before the convention last year here in denver, we were like, okay, we have lots of supporters and people have lots of opinions. how can we do a better job of listening to them? not just like, we hear you, but listening in as we actually know what your saying is important? around convention time, what we did was we understood there was this, you know, a party platform so every four years the candidates or parties coming to and they all get into this back room. nobody really knows how it works and they're at

secondly, we cite a 44 the cost of new transmission. believe that we have a successful starting point for a bipartisan debate on this issue. there may be additional improvements that are offered so that we can adopt, but we have a solid basis for going forward with that debate. again, having a transparent and effective way of deciding where the new electric transmission points may be built, and ensuring that the cost of the lines are spread across all of the beneficiaries. despite the importance of electricity transmission policy , the politics surrounding this issue will be intense. when we do get to a full senate debate, i am sure that we will see some of the politics in this play. the third item i would talk about is the need for support for clean energy technology deployment. new renewable energy technologies that counter major barriers when it comes to obtaining the kind of support in the private financial sector that helps them to make the transition for commercially proven products. i refer to the valley of death where good ideas

secondly, helmut testing. because we have a ballot laboratory protocol for recreating the conditions that result in concussions on the field, this laboratory set up can be used to evaluate the new products that i just spoke about. thirdly, the interaction with nocsae. it is the committee that establishes safety standards for sports equipment including helmets. the same elements that are children wear. it allowed us to understand that the speeds and forces associated with injury and concussion in the nfl were different from what they were using to test helmets. bus are open dialogue has resulted in modifications in how helmets are tested for efficacy. as the commissioner reminded us, rule changes. a greater understanding of how concussions occur on the field has been shared with the national football league and provides the competition committee with valuable objective give permission to make rule changes to protect players and make the game safer. a lot like also to take a couple of moments to talk about neuro

you feel that reprocessing can develop where it is not a nonproliferation risk with plutonium and secondly, how do you envision the political battles down the road for the waste? >> in regard to your first demeant no state wants waste. well, the folks -- we have a low level radioactive waste peross d.c. -- repository in new mexico. the local areas around are very, very happy with this. it's been exquisitely safe. it's essentially a mining industry. the environmental concerns have been eased. it's been done so carefully, so responsely that everyone around there is very happy. it's not an automatic that no state will take this. if you show you can do this in a completely environmentally safe and protective way, it's not a given that certain states might not want it. in regard to the proliferation issue, i think you hit a very important point. the countries that are now reprocessing use a modified version of a process the united states invented in the 1950's. it takes out of the spent fuel that creates a stream of plutonium and plutonium ox side. once you create a stream of plutonium, if gott

secondly, i want to tell you about the major lessons i learned in my research that you can find in the book if you take the time to read it, thirdly, i want to walk you through pivotal en

secondly it was an extraordinarily close election.kennedy won the election by a tick or two over 100,000 votes out of the tens of millions cast so it was extraordinarily close. it was also i argue the first modern campaign when you think about pollsters, you think about use of media, you think of mass buying of advertising and when you think about religion as a political force you have those together in many things which we take for granted in our presidential races today in many ways began in that election so i think it is the beginning of modern political presidential campaigns. but it was also what i call the larva stage of the religious right in the united states. if you look at is some ofhe

secondly, it is right next to a preschool. third, go we've had instances where people who have been at this charity dining hall event have come out of it and then been walking along the bridal path near there and soliciting prostitution and third -- >> are these crimes that have been reported, scott? >> caller: they have certainly been called into the police. and it is kind of hard to catch these folks. and then secondly, we've had a situation where an individual was stabbed at the church with an ice pick. they chose to take him to the hospital. and the hospital had to call the police on that one. we had an instance where an individual came back during the week to the preschool because nobody was there to provide him with any services, and the preschool was trying to get, tefr him and he decided he was hungry and started rifling through children's lunch boxes there in the preschool. i think the bottom line, what we have here is a situation where these people are providing a handout in the form of charity dining, rather than a

secondly, helmut testing. because we have a ballot laboratory protocol for recreating the conditions that result in concussions on the field, this laboratory set up can be used to evaluate the new products that i just spoke about. thirdly, the interaction with nocsae. it is the committee that establishes safety standards for sports equipment including helmets. the same elements that are children wear. it allowed us to understand that the speeds and forces associated with injury and concussion in the nfl were different from what they were using to test helmets. bus are open dialogue has resulted in modifications in how helmets are tested for efficacy. as the commissioner reminded us, rule changes. a greater understanding of how concussions occur on the field has been shared with the national football league and provides the competition committee with valuable objective give permission to make rule changes to protect players and make the game safer. a lot like also to take a couple of moments to talk about neuro

secondly, i think you need to our country, we have a flow of capital, not much flowing today, but thatbecause of retraction. people were doing things that were not responsible in an effort to make a lot of money. nevertheless, you can find capital in america if you have a great idea. you can go to your family or a private equity firm or a venture capitalist and you can take an idea from the back of your head translated onto paper and create something. that is a fantastic thing that has changed the world because of the creativity of individuals. finally, we have the world -- we have the rule of law. it is so important because we have referees in most cases and in most times that can decide what are the rules and what a loss. we hear about people wanting to go to china. i can tell you that the first concern that you have investing in china is if your investment is safe. if in fact if i have my money invested over there, can i get it back? that creates uncertainty among people that have capital to want to invest in these great ideas. nevertheless, india and china have lifted about a half

secondly, what is the u.s. competitive position? we see the tsunami coming from the chinese renewable energy industry, we already saw it from denmark and germany and spain. now we have china coming. hey, folks, it's a global industry, and this is competition, and we're up to full speed. this is full speed competition. is the u.s. going to win this? are we going to have our fair share? are we going to have the manufacturing and service jobs in this country to do these installation, or is this an import business? i've been asked so many times by the export/import bank, mike, what do we need to do to increase exports of renewable energy from this country? and my answer consistently for eight years has been build factories with shipping docks from which we can export. that's what we need this this country now. that's this part of phase ii. next is how to finance the scaleup. we've had the u.s. partnership for renewable energy finance now, and they have estimated it will take 30-50 billion dollars every year. not once, every year going f

secondly if you think the public understands, if you think the public gets it you are equally wrong. everyone of us in this room there are 10,000 people out there who don't care about this so i want to implore you all to stop coming to these conferences and turnaround and go and speak ten times to 100 people who don't think that this is important. your time will be far better spent. [laughter] [applause] third come if you think that health professionals get this you are wrong. health professionals do not get this. health professionals say to me every day i spent my whole day saving patience. you want me to save the planet as well? there is an important halo effect here that we somehow as health professionals have a spiritual or professional offset when we don't need to do anything because we are already the good people. that is absolutely not true. do not underestimate the advocacy power of health professionals. it is absolutely profound. you get this the nhs has the largest work force in the world facing the largest health challenge we have ever faced. so, can the nhs do something?

secondly, it is hard to stop all of that. it is not that we have been trying until now to encourage waste, fraud, and abuse and have suddenly decided that we need to stop it. people working very hard to discourage it. it turns out there is a cat and mouse game with lawbreakers. is not easy to stop all the bad things from happening. you have to think of what you mean by waste. there are pure inefficiencies. if the government is contract badly or running a system and a bad way, there are ways to check that. they don't like certain programs and people do like those programs and it has to be a political judgment as to what we spend our money on. but it is not waste in a simple, pure sense of something we could live without. >> i am with george washington university -- when i heard about the cbo baseline for ketcham when we had impressive economic growth 10 years ago, we thought that full economic growth could reach lower rates and 4% unemployment was feasible and maybe that was given up in the early 1970's. with the economic cris

secondly, it was an extraordinarily close election. kennedy won by just a tick or two over 100,000 votes out of the tens of millions that were cast, so it was extraordinarily close. it was also, i argue, really the first modern campaign when you think about pollsters, you think about use of media, you think of mass buying of advertising. and when you think about religion as a political force, you add owl -- all those things together, and many things we take for granted today in many ways began in that 1960 election, so i think it's the beginning of modern political campaigns. but it was also what i call the lahr value stage of the religious right in the united states. if you look at some of the players in 1960, you see some of the leading lights of what we now call the religious right first becoming active in politics in that election. people like billy graham, the national association of evangelicals and a host of smaller conservative protestant players really broke in their sweatshirts and sneakers in that election. and they discover

one release the political prisoners because they are being tortured as we meet here today and secondly allow us to get back to the almost 80 individuals who have committed felons and now they are living in cuba in a safe harbor. general if you could, colonel fuentes is the new date officer who made a strong and compelling case yesterday as he and law enforcement people do. have you raised that case? >> let me say you want to be proud of their work in this area and i certainly endorse entirely your viewpoint. i think the notion that there is a totalitarian government in cuba of greif repression, lack of freedom of unionization, freedom of speech is on the arguable and i personally have raised with both fidel and not for two hours, i actually had seven hours with him that this was a major point of u.s. foreign policy to try to reduce the perceptions throughout the global community that they are a repressive totalitarian regime and i've also raise the same point with the cuban ambassadorial that that is the easiest thing they could do is drop their repressive imprisonment of these disside

i would like to first thank, aside from thanking you, secondly, i would like to thank mr. benson. i thank you for coming to this committee to relive the pain and trauma of your child's death. that is not easy and i understand met and i respect you for coming here and sharing with us today what happened to your job. -- to your child. i thank all of the persons on both of the panels. i did not have the opportunity to hear it all because we are between committees. i did your dr. culberhouse. thank you so very much, not only for actually stepping out of the box and telling it like this, but here it come from a woman is so pleasing to note that not only were you president of tampa bay but that you dare to say what a lot of others don't dare to say. a lot of people in here today were protecting the nfl. all lot of people here today on the payroll of the nfl and hoping that somehow they would look good enough to get a pay raise because they came here and performed for them today. as you know, i don't take a back seat per -- on these issues. i respect everything that is being done to try

and both parties concede the congressional budget office, secondly, i think -- >> no. >> i mean, thiseral fund, i don't know how she will determine -- this general fund will determine what she says are rare catastrophic diseases. there's nothing rare about a lot of these diseases that we do not cover now in america. unfortunately, they're not rare and unfortunately they can't be covered by some nebulous general fund by people that don't believe in big government in the first place. >> the numbers are fraud. >> larry: i have to get another break. i want to talk about sarah palin as promised. we have one segment left. we'll be back with ann coulter and al sharpton. they may good on the road together. don't go away. we know why we're here. to redefine air travel for a new generation. to ensure our forces are safer and stronger. to take the world we share to tomorrow and beyond. announcer: around the globe, the people of boeing are working together-- to make a difference. that's why we're here. >> larry: ann coulter, would you like sarah palin to be your next candidate for the presidency?

secondly, we don't have kidnapping for ransom in the united states. it was mentioned by the husband in this that it sounded like a bad movie plot. well, it is a very bad movie plot. notwithstanding hollywood, these things don't happen. the last time there was a fake ransom like that was in the jonbenet case, another long, rambling note which we know was fake because the little girl was dead in her -- in the basement. now, the real concern here, though, for people in my industry is the whole idea of faking kidnappings. what that does is it creates cry wolf scenarios so that the next time something like that happens there's a cynicism on the part of the public, or very well could be a cynicism on the part of the public about whether or not -- >> i agree. >> -- that kidnapping is an actual kidnapping or not. not to mention the resources that are taken away from legitimate situations. >> back to the lawyers. eleanor odom, peter odom, tamara holder. peter odom, what about her telling the cops? and this is obviously a voluntary statement. "i tried to make t

and both parties concede the congressional budget office, secondly, i think -- >> no. >> i mean, thisis general fund will determine what she says are rare catastrophic diseases. there's nothing rare about a lot of these diseases that we do not cover now in america. unfortunate unfortunately, they're not rare and unfortunately they can't be covered by some nebulous general fund by people that don't believe in big government in the first place. >> the numbers are fraud. >> larry: i have to get another break. i want to talk about sarah palin as promised. we'll be back with ann coulter and al sharpton. they may good on the road together. don't go away. in america, well, then how do you explain all this? chevy malibu, cobalt, silverado, and the all-new equinox. compare them to anyone. may the best car win. ♪ [ female announcer ] today's health care system is leaving countless americans stranded. that's why aarp is fighting to put people first, not insurance companies. to protect medicare and keep drug costs down. and to ensure that no one is denied coverage due to age or health. because at

secondly, the about local communities living back in local communities. there are 200 approximately communities printing their own money and it is totally illegal. go to the berkshires. there is shares. it's very much like the airlines print frequent-flier dollars. so if in fact you can print your local money and we have got a situation where the currency you go to the bank, by the local currency at a discount, spend and merchants that are actively employed u.s. citizens or those legally here with right to work selling goods made in america and are keeping the money in the community. i advise we look at a whole series of steps in terms of political action steps. the federal reserve i agree with ron paul if the federal reserve will not submit to aggressive audit maybe we should just propose closing it down. we do not need the federal reserve to print our currency under president kennedy was the last time the treasury printed its own currency, those red sealed bills some of you might remember during the kennedy administration were treasury bills. also we do

secondly, because there are new challenges in education as we all know, there are new challenges in health care, as we all know, and other social issues that affect our views, families, and communities, i feel like we have to approach these challenges with a new language. a form of communication that everyone knows about, a new technical platform, and a broader view community and globalism. social networks and digital platforms are critical for reaching the owners and communicating with constituents. facebook, myspace, youtube, that they are all essential tools in this new philanthropic environment. third, the call for new philanthropic leadership is also a call for new relationships of trust. understanding these communities in need and garnering their trust, and the trust of donors, that their contributions will make a direct and positive impact is extremely important to me, which is why all the examples i have given you, i was very hands on it with and personal with. i have many nation -- i have many nicknames. luda-femna is one of them. [laughter] i take the responsibility of leadership

secondly, we don't have kidnapping for ransom in the united states. it was mentioned by the husband in this that it sounded like a bad movie plot. well, it is a very bad movie plot. notwithstanding hollywood, these things don't happen. the last time there was a fake ransom like that was in the jonbenet case, another long, rambling note which we know was fake because the little girl was dead in her -- in the basement. now, the real concern here, though, for people in my understand is the whole idea of faking kidnappings. what that does is it creates cry wolf scenarios so that the next time something like that happens there's a cynicism on the part of the public, or very well could be a cynicism on the part of the public about whether or not -- >> i agree. >> -- that kidnapping is an actual kidnapping or not. not to mention the resources that are taken away from legitimate situations. >> back to the lawyers. eleanor odom, peter odom, tamara holder. peter odom, what about her telling the cops? and this is obviously a voluntary statement. "i tried to make

first of all, she's not going to take a polygraph and secondly, she needs to quit talking. >> i don't know how much she's been tauging. joe lawless, you have handled many cases revolving around homicide and missing people. what's your advice? >> i'm advising them to not talk anymore, obviously. they are the focus of the investigation. there doesn't appear to be anyone else. you have seen the size of the trailer. if someone walked in and took the child, they would have been heard and seen and noticed. police are focusing on these people. as a lawyer, not a concerned citizen, i would tell them to shut up. >> i'm sure the both of you would. out to andrew j. scott chief of police, boca raton, florida. andrew, thank you for being with us. there has been steady rain since yesterday across north carolina. of course, it's not going to help anything, but bloodhounds and cadaver dogs can pick up a scent, even though it's rained. >> that's correct. they are not having that scent. there's not been a scent out or about from the trailer. the other issue that might be collected is that the rain can

we've gone through this before, in the late-80's, and secondly, i would stipulate that what goes up must come down and the united states is not going to be no. 1 forever. at some point, and the question is, are we at that point, 20 years away, a century away, or more? that is the question. if we are counting on the quality of our political leadership and the abandonment of special interests, we are again dead. because my reading of american history is that that is the norm, not the exception, people rising above the norm is rare, and we succeed despite all of our sclerotic politics. and that is why bismarck said god looks after drugs, children, and the united states of america. i want to try and dispel to debut exaggerations' that i think lead us to accept pessimism about our current situation. one is the tremendous overestimation of the power we had. i heard that america can no longer do everything it wanted to do. i do not remember the time where that is true. if you look of the entire history of the cold war, it was marked a lot by not being able to do what we wanted to do until we we

first, do we have an opportunity to close the gap and secondly what is the cost of it?ing our work we've got all kind of this joint piecemeal solutions. there's a lot of policies and a lot of information about all of the different letters about the strong speculations and about integrated pest management. what was missing in the fully answer to our understanding was a framework that helps you to organize, to answer the two big questions can we close the gap and what will it cost to close the gap? what the team came up with is an organizing framework in which we want to call the water availability assembles all of the available livers we have to close the water gap essentially in one chart. all of this means not just the supply side letters with the demand side letters of the productivity enhancement for efficiency drivers in agriculture but also in industry and also in the municipal use like the more innovative showerheads that have been mentioned. so it's also looking at the letters from the sectors and it's looking at the letters in according to a very stringent defin

and secondly, and perhaps more important until terms of policymaking, the certainty, at least in thebeginning of both of these campaigns, create for you as logical arguments. even if things seem to be bad at the moment, united states would still come over if it was a technological edge. you ask questions afterwards in terms of the content of the paper. the second aspect that i deal with is the issue of regime change. and on this one, one has to be very careful, because there are many people who comment we knew whu get into the bush treaty administration. i don't think it is. it was written about in the past as well. i think regime change in a broad sense is something that also connects us to u.s. foreign policy during the cold war, and maybe even before the cold war in many respects. containment to some extent was about regime change. the difference is obvious, that given, among other thing, the technological edge i've been talking about, gin the sense of the unique situation of the collapse of the soviet union, the unipolar moment as some people were talking about it, regime change,

the first is flogging will instill greater your and your understanding of democracy in cuba, secondly tourist spending will help average cubans, third, leading the regime feels so we should try something different, and finally the libertarian argument that americans have a constitutional right to go wherever they choose. starting with a let's flood them with taurus proposal, why will this help bring democracy to cuba? it's because the cuban authorities strictly limit and harshly penalize the interaction of ordinary cubans with foreigners, and about the only cubans tourists are going to meet our hotel workers. there are 103 hotels catering to foreign tourists in cuba. 67% of these are located in the low remote keys. there are only 5,632 rooms for about 10,000 tourists in havana, a city of 2.1 million that works out to one tourist per 110 cubans. tourists are simply diluted in the sea of cubans. the regime charges average cubans the highest rack rate possible to stay in tourist hotels. that means a night stay would require an average cubin salary for a year, and that's why you're not go

and then secondly, this extraordinary brazilians of nature, whether it is a whole ecosystem or whether it's an animal species. that's what i've been talking about. but then we got something which is very important which is why i have to continue talking to you. unless i get handcuffs. [laughter] >> and that is the tremendous power of youth. one's problems are understood and used is empowered to ask under act. and so when people say to me, but jane, i thought you were interested in championship's and forth, why are you spinning so much around america? why are you spending so much time with young people? because of new generations are not being raised to be better stewards than we have been, there is no point in any of these efforts to save any of these animals, or any of these environments. and i was so shocked and upset when i was traveling and meeting and people, particularly university students, college student, sometimes high school students, sometimes young people out in their first jobs, who seem to have lost hope, who were depressed, who are angry, who were apathetic, and when i

secondly, transparency around data. i have talked a lot about the louisiana. please add tracks students' progress. the track teachers. they attract teachers back to their schools of education back to there different alternative certification rounds so that after hundreds of thousands of students and tens of thousands of teachers use the schools of education literally changing their curriculum based upon the results of the students of their alumni. louisiana does not have some technology the rest of the country can figure out. this is not some technological breakthrough. this is simply having the courage to say that great teaching matters and that adults make a great difference in students lives. retract these things over time in a method or philosophy of continuing improvement mprovemen get dramatically better. so i question why when it's not some miracle technology that has been patented, why is it today we only have one state operating in this matter. third great talent matters. thinking about how we get the best and brightest teachers to the children and th

secondly, the whole area of treatment technology again is hugely important.duce information technology which are also transformative. now the last point i'd like to make is i think the discussions on water in countries and globally have historically been government in many recent years, government with ngo and academia. they have looked at somebody else's problem. we will do our thing. and they have to sort this out. i think this is the fact that the business has yet to do the technology side. but it also has to engage in the public debate. and i think that has happened beautifully on the support of the sponsors on a global level. now moving to the real next step and making things happen. i think it can happen at the national level too. if i had the discussion on the future of india, in dubai, and it was very interesting to speak to the private sector colleagues. the national reaction is the government's responsibility. are you going to be able to do your businesses and raise your children if they continue? and the answer is no. i think there for the progress

we've gone through this before, in the late-80's, and secondly, i would stipulate that what goes up muste down and the united states is not going to be no. 1 forever. at some point, and the question is, are we at that point, 20 years away, a century away, or more? that is the question. if we are counting on the quality of our political leadership and the abandonment of special interests, we are again dead. because my reading of american history is that that is the norm, not the exception, people rising above the norm is rare, and we succeed despite all of our sclerotic politics. and that is why bismarck said god looks after drugs, children, and the united states of america. i want to try and dispel to debut exaggerations' that i think lead us to accept pessimism about our current situation. one is the tremendous overestimation of the power we had. i heard that america can no longer do everything it wanted to do. i do not remember the time where that is true. if you look of the entire history of the cold war, it was marked a lot by not being able to do what we wanted to do until we were f

secondly as an economic who specializes in professional ethics, i want to know as much as i can about what drives smarment idealistic people to transgress to do things that are personally and institutionly destructive. this is tricky stuff. when you talk about context, people think you're trying to shift responsibility. oh, it wasn't him, it was the "toxic culture of the wicked nimentse." and that's not the point. but institutions often unwittingly do aid and abelt. to some degree it does take a village. we are also right to insist this undertaking of context to explain what it cannot absolve. what it can do is to appeal for our capacity for compassion and forgiveness. as i've had occasion to say, having jayson blair here is a depar closure -- departure. but it's a departure for jayson blair too and i hope he ends up glad he agreed to come. a few program notes. jayson is going to talk for 20 to 25 minutes and then we're going to open the floor to questions, which he's eager to take. this is a university symposium. it's not a press conference. it's first and foremost intended for the s

the first is flogging will instill greater your and your understanding of democracy in cuba, secondly tourist spending will help average cubans, third, leading the regime feels so we should try something different, and finally the libertarian argument that americans have a constitutional right to go wherever they choose. starting with a let's flood them with taurus proposal, why will this help bring democracy to cuba? it's because the cuban authorities strictly limit and harshly penalize the interaction of ordinary cubans with foreigners, and about the only cubans tourists are going to meet our hotel workers. there are 103 hotels catering to foreign tourists in cuba. 67% of these are located in the low remote keys. there are only 5,632 rooms for about 10,000 tourists in havana, a city of 2.1 million that works out to one tourist per 110 cubans. tourists are simply diluted in the sea of cubans. the regime charges average cubans the highest rack rate possible to stay in tourist hotels. that means a night stay would require an average cubin salary for a year, and that's why you're not go

that is the huge abed in raising money so fund-raising lets people really get into the game and secondly, name recognition. lucky go to a ballot box and you are familiar with the name again that it's a huge advantage in an unfair advantage to other people who don't have the name recognition. i think that is important as well in the third factor is our media culture nowhere we really focus on personalities and celebrities and through this culture of wanting to know what is going on in families. if you want to know what is going on in families, then those people are going to become well-known and again, if they decide in the political process they have a lot of advantages. >> do you think the government should take any official steps to prevent this from happening in the future? >> i think a constitutional amendment banning president in immediate families is not a bad idea. i think voters need to think about it. i think that is really where any particular reform needs to come from, the voters themselves and to really think about when you talk about the most powerful political office in the

secondly, we cite a 44 the cost of new transmission. i believe that we have a successful starting point for a bipartisan debate on this issue. there may be additional improvements that are offered so that we can adopt, but we have a solid basis for going forward with that debate. again, having a transparent and effective way of deciding where the new electric transmission points may be built, and ensuring that the cost of the lines are spread across all of the beneficiaries. despite the importance of electricity transmission policy , the politics surrounding this issue will be intense. when we do get to a full senate debate, i am sure that we will see some of the politics in this play. the third item i would talk about is the need for support for clean energy technology deployment. new renewable energy technologies that counter major barriers when it comes to obtaining the kind of support in the private financial sector that helps them to make the transition for commercially proven products. i refer to the valley of death where good ide

secondly, who are you selling the information to? the privacy issue is very important. two hearings on it. i hope we will get legislation together, which i have been working on. this is another piece of this issue, the internet. the online activities. first of all, advertising on the internet is what supports the internet. the internet is a remarkable thing. no one wants to withdraw the support that is necessary for the internet to exist and survive. online commerce is very important. that is what we are talking about. the question for all of this with online commerce is, who uses our credit card information and for what purpose? when you put your credit card information in to purchase something, you would always expect, especially on a reputable website, that that is not going to be shared with anybody. that is protected. we find out now by some good work from investigators on our staff that that is not the case. the issue of post-transaction marketing, and data passing, that is a fancy way of describing practices that are engaged in by people that should be ashamed of

secondly, the way they leapt into the process was something new for me, with drug addicts who resist the process, or leap in to use it to go into drugs. >> sex addiction is harder you say. harder to cure. >> it's more painful. it takes longer. >> it was 13 years by the time i hit this wall. i've been sober from drugs and alcohol for 13 years. and then about eight months before i did the show, i really hit this wall in my sobriety, where i realized i transferred all of my addictions into sex and the internet and all the other stuff that i was doing. >> that's an interesting point to me. people give up one and go on to another addiction. >> addiction is the emotional disturbance in the deep recesses of the brain. >> now you gave up booze and drugs. >> yeah. >> and you've been rehabilitated as a sex addict, right, duncan? >> you remember, there's no cure for addiction. it's a progressive condition which can be arrested. so all i have to do on a daily basis is arrest my condition. i mean, that's really all i can do. >> nicole was saying sex addiction is so deeply emotional. it's so much

secondly, the fed. the fed has become sort of the natural whipping boy for populist politics today.nderstand that. it's been that way since even before the fed was created. william jennings bryant was probably anticipating a fed when he was doing his "cross of gold" speeches. henry wallace, right up through our whole exercise of american politics. that's there because it's deemed secretive. the simple fact is the fed serves a very unique and special function of maintaining the value of our currency, of keeping inflation under control, and to the extent it can effect it, of helping us be an employed economy. but we've got to be careful that we don't overreact again in dealing with the fed. it is a unique strength which we have as a nation, that we have an independent agency which is not subject to the whims of the politics of the day in the way we manage our monetary policy. and i do think they make a very legitimate case, that the at least in the larger undertakings in the world of finance, they need to know what's going on in order to do monetary policy well. so i think we should b

secondly, within the next six months, the international community will agree with president karzai's government a police reform plan. we agree that in helmand, afghan police numbers will increase with further increases to follow. by mid 2010, the capacity helmut police training center will be doubled, and we will double the number of trainers by the more -- by the be the military police to 200 next year. an effective accountable administration. over the next five months -- over the next nine months, president karzai will be expected to implement far- reaching reforms into all -- of 400 districts have a governor, and district community shoppers have been -- with more to come. nationwide, the number of community development councils will increase from 22,000 to over 30,000. the fourth is a clean, effective, and inclusive national government, one that reaches out to political leaders and citizens from all areas of society. while president karzai has agreed with us on tackling corruption with a new anti- corruption task force, we recognize that the test is not initiatives but to delibera

secondly, it's hard for me to believe that 11 missing women could be reported in the same neighborhood and you not be able to find any of them or be able to investigate in a manner that would reveal any tips. that's hard for me to believe. thirdly, i think that the sex offender registry law should be changed or amended. thises a perfect example of how the neighborhood should have known, the neighborhood should have been instructed that there was a sex offender in their midst. >> it's not just the cops. it's everybody. with all the bodies piled up inside sowell's house, it's really unbelievable any woman made it out alive. tanja doss says she was drinking with sowell when he just snapped. listen to her. it's amazing. >> he was still choking me. he was like [ bleep ] you could be another [ bleep ] in the street dead and wouldn't nobody give a [ bleep ] about you. i started crying. i was like why you got to act like that, tony? he said oh, you think i'm playing? [ bleep ] take your clothes off. >> she didn't report it because her background isn't squeaky clean, she said. so many of the vi

. >> secondly, tell us about these new surcharges. how much are we talking? >> well, the surcharges are all over the board. the surcharges for thanksgiving and christmas are pretty much already baked in the cake. typically at 20 bucks. but the bigger surcharges are the ones coming through the spring and beyond. the airlines are floating trial ball loons of 30 to 50 extra dollar each way on certain days that they designate as peak. >> so what are the surcharges for? are they extra bag surcharges? where will we identify them? where will we see them? >> this is just a breathing charge. this is just for you -- for you showing up and breathing, you're going to pay it if you pick the wrong date on the calendar to fly. and you know, this is all about the fact that the airline -- the full fare airline had been parking planes in the desert for months trying to reduce the number of flights so that they can regain control of pricing. and so now they are feeling pumped up, they feel like they are now in charge instead of you and me. and that's why everybody is falling al

secondly, i do want to mention, that this is -- you may have mentioned this in your 5:00 hour -- the second time bradley has gone through a murder in his life with someone that he loves. his wife, back in 1998, was murdered. and that would be the mother of his three children who are now staying with their mother's father. her mother's father would be byron coleman, who i spoke with earlier today and had a very long conversation with. >> we saw it on the "nancy grace" show. so heartbreaking for bradley. >> it is. very sad. >> doing a great job with shaniya. but was too trusting, is the way it looks, in mom, antoinette davis in all this. the more on this coming up. we're also going to look at the possibility that mom had premeditated this plan all along to sell that cute little girl for sex. >>> and you said none of the doors were open? >> no, but she knows how to unlock the door. >> you said it was around 5:30? >> yes, ma'am. >> okay. have you checked the neighborhood? >> i checked everywhere. i haven't checked the back end of the neighborhood yet, but i checked the front end. i don't

and, secondly, they are going to be directly tied to the quality and number of staff who are there to provide care for those in the medicare system. mr. kyl: i ask my colleague will yield for this quick question. we've talked about the rationing of health care that is the ineffable result of these cuts -- inevitable result of these cuts in this bill. whawhen you reduce the amount of money that you reimburse hospitals and others with, they can't provide these services. some businesses gout of business so there are fewer entities providing the care. that means that it takes longer for patients to obtain the care where it is available and frequently they don't get as good a care because folks just can't take that much time to take care of them in that sense. would my colleague please talk a little bit about his concerns about the overall problem of rationing that comes from the reductions in the benefits to providers -- and by the way, your chart -- i just want to say, it says "other medicare cuts to providers." we use that term "providers" around here as a shortcut term. but would my co

secondly, if you do, in fact, agreeing that carbon taxes are a better policy instrument is there any chance at all getting something like that passed through congress given the small momentum that's already started with the waxman-markey bill and the cap-and-trade push and obviously the influence of lobbyists down in washington. is there an appetite among the american people for a carbon tax? >> softball. that was a really good one. [laughter] >> i thought you guys were going to say, what was it like being on an oil rig. was it fun? were the guys interesting? and now everybody is getting -- this is this new york city audience. everybody is overeducated here. [laughter] >> i think that -- i really like in principle the idea of a carbon tax. i think taxes are very effective. you know, economic mechanisms but i think that it's so terribly urgent, terribly, terribly urgent to hit these very real targets that scientists have established in, you know -- for carbon emissions over the next 20, 30, 50 years. i mean, unfortunately in recent months we've heard, you know, that the results and th

first of all their courage was spectacular and secondly the way they leapt into the process was something new for me compared to what drug addicts do who resist the process or if they leap in, they use it as a reason to go do drugs. >> but sex addiction is harder, you say. >> it's harder, more tender, more painful. >> -- 13 years by the time i hit this wall. >> chemical -- >> a social phenom. >> chemical. i've been sober from drugs and alcohol 13 years. >> 13 years. >> then about eight months before i did the show i really hit the wall in my sobriety where i realized i transferred all of my addictions into sex and internet and all the other stuff i was doing. >> yes. that's interesting to me, people addicted to one thing they give that up and pick up another addiction. >> they can, yes, they can. addiction a motivational disturbance in the deep recesses of the brain with no logic, reason or language just a movational -- >> so you gave up booze and drugs and rehabilitated as a sex addict, right duncan? almost. >> you know, there's no cure for addiction. it's a progressive condition which c

secondly, to do the 911 call and put herself up for the academy award. it's pathetic if that happened. >> when we come back, we'll talk to clinical psychologist mi michelle gollin, how do you put on the act knowing full well you sold your little girl as a sex slave. we'll take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. >>> i hold a lot of ill feelings right now, differently than my brother. the bond with shaniya and i from teaching her how to tie her shoes and how to color within the lines and to write her name, i feel robbed, and i feel shaniya was robbed. she was very intelligent and she had such a wonderful, kind soul, and her spirit brightened every day of everyone she touched. >> shaniya's aunt fighting back the tears and emotions. we also grieve the loss of a beautiful 5-year-old girl. taking your calls on this, 1-877-tell-hln. her own mother is facing charges of selling shaniya for prostitution as a sex slave. we also have a mario mcneil, con viced felon, accused of kidnapping shaniya. let's listen to another 911 call. let's get the one set up about what shaniya

secondly, there is a focus on making facebook useful. it is a place to go every day not just because it is fun and interesting, but it is useful to find out what your friends are up to at any given point in time you will know your co- workers are talking about. he will know what news your family is reading. the focus on utility has been consistent. thirdly, there is always been an acknowledgment at facebook that as a company, it can only do so much. at the end of the day, it truly needs to be a platform if it will grow. by platform, i mean a place where individuals connect to people they care about. from there, they go and connect with the things and organizations to care about as well. i think we may have temporarily lost the presentation. i will keep going. where is facebook now? over 300 million active users. 70% are outside the united states. it is now translated into 70 different languages. not a single person at facebook has ever sat down to try to translate the entire site into any one of the languages. facebook threw it out there

secondly, to stimulate the develop of and contract for vaccines and anti-virals.ird, to monitor and ensure that we can back states and communities if they get overwhelmed. and finally, the state prepared for any other emergency. not to take our eye off of the ball. this hole response has been a public private partnership from the get go. starting with vaccines, as, you know, we developed a new vaccine with unpres dented speed. and this was made possible by investments in basic and clinical science, manufacturing, regulatory processes. and would not have been possible at all without our partnerships of industry. and while modest amounts came ahead of schedule, a combination of production yields, late completion of seasonal vaccines, problem with new filling lines, decision in the home country of one manufacturer caused the availability of vaccine. not just for the u.s., but around the world. and while the number of doses that's been produced and distributed and continues to grow, we remain vigilant to ensure steady supply. we talk with manufacturers almost every si
