i don't need the sponge any more. take a look at this soap scum, okay? as you know, soap scum can be so hard to clean. but, it's no match for the haan. i am getting up, all of this soap scum. i'm sanitizing at the same time. and i'm doing it all, using no chemicals at al how will the haan do against this grimy mess? let's find out. all right. this would be so hard to clean with a sponge or a brush. but, the haan does all the work for you. it's amazing. it is cutting right through what would normally take a lot of scrubbing. e steam is doing all the work. just lifting it up. no scouring. no scrubbing. the steam is doing all the work. look, the grime is gone. gone, you say? well where did it go, debra? i'm so glad that you asked, angela. it is all just, right here. it's locked inside the pad. when you're done cleaning you just toss the pads in the washer and you use em again and again. earlier we went to the headquarters of a major where the haan went head to head against a huge, industrial floor cleaner, and won. we, then we thought we'd put haan to the u

harman was also sponged. it is true he walked balls, but he walked the halls in order to pick up the ideas of others. and somehow they would come into his head and then he was able to use them in his own way. there's been a lot of talk about herman's writings. i was around herman about for years, and maybe i missed them, but in all those years i never really saw him right. use a pin or use a typewriter, using those days, typewriters. he talked. and his talks were taped. and he had other people sort of listened to tapes and put them into print. and that's the way he worked and that's what he has this long, long bibliography which goes beyond the published books to probably dozens of reports. another way that he sponged was he loved -- i did this several times within. he loved to go to bookstores. the day with the really big, not barnes & noble times, and he walked around the bookstore with a salesperson and said one of those, one of those, one of those. ship them to me that they were not for books, they were l

[laughter] >> guest: somebody told me she would have a huge longline of letters and had a sponge and she would let all of the envelopes and she did this for ever. any time something came up in congress should mobilize all of these women and they would send letters and she's standing there on the alert and a woman like this nobody has ever heard of and gave me so much pleasure to be able to write about them in this book. >> host: these women were hairline's but it wasn't without cost. >> guest: another reason i was happy to read this book is often when i go around people will ask me a question that basically is an invitation to tell about suffering in the world as it plunged forward, what horrible things happen to me. in fact it was exactly the opposite. i came sailing into this open window that was open about three seconds before by women about three seconds older than me who filed the suits and never got anything. they were not the ones who were not intending to get promoted when companies said okay, you're right, we will always be the next women who got the promotions and these fir

i have collected a number of sponge blowup legs. as soon as you can create circulation in the early days of healing the sooner it would minimize infection. >> larry: sanjay, is the health care infrastructure in haiti ready to handle an influx like this. can they handle hundreds of crutches and wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs coming in at once? >> we are going to need that. heather knows they are in the acute phase of things. amputations are still being performed, larry. the wound has too heal, the swelling has to go down. eventually the prosthetic gets fit but that could be a few weeks from now still. there are several different organizations which have been performing these amputations. there are so many of them. we are standing outside a swiss tent in the partners of help and mt. sinai in new york. there are so many organizations doing this. it is going to be a little time we are in that phase but it is coming, no doubt. >> larry: heather, i know you did this historically on our show. i would appreciate it if you did it again. wi

i've collected a number of temporary sponge blowup leg. because the sooner you can create circulation in the early days of healing, the sooner it will start to work and minimize infection. >> larry: sanjay, is the health care infrastructure in haiti ready to handle an influx like this, reaction to this program tonight? can they handle hundreds of crutches and wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs coming in at once? >> reporter: well, you know, that's a good question. they're certainly going to need that. whether now exactly is the right time, i think as heather knows, they're in the acute phase of things. amputations are still being performed, larry. it takes some time after an amputation is performed. the wound has to heal and the swelling has to go down. eventually the prosthetic gets fit. that can be a few weeks from now still. i think there's several different organizations which have been performing these amputations. there's been so many of them, larry. we're standing outside a swiss tent right now with the partners in health organization

you know, other people's views should also -- you should sponge out what you do need. i've always said there are three sides to every story. one side, two, and then truth. somewhere there's always the truth so we should definitely look at our views and then look at others and take from that what we should. >> you didn't give us your name, did you? >> yes. >> so what do you think of the future? >> i think that the future definitely -- something needs to be done about the path that we're going in. he said that he thought that we were going a steady trend but i think there's a problem within the way that things are running because people are caring more about their political parties and more about what they care about versus what's better humility and that's definitely a problem now. >> do you consider yourself a member of a party? >> i am a conservative democrat. >> conservative democrat? >> yes. >> please, for this room, define a conservative democrat. >> i'm a southern democrat. >> pass it on to somebody else who wants to talk. go ahead. >> when i say i'm a conservativ

she was the biggest sponge in the world. i mean that in a good sense. she wanted to live life to the maximum and absorber and learn and learn. we are supposed to say journalism is about to being in school first of your life. that causes people to leave my class. i'm spending life with people like you. molly's philosophy is i'm here to keep learning and she loved being around people observing their stories and it could be the king of siam or the radio guy. she felt them to be equal value in terms of feeding her head and soul. she loved it. but molly -- internet me. i need a good editor. interrupt me. molly, threw into smith is still rare find about a world that children are privileged, very wealthy people, powerful people. she was in school with the daughters of the most powerful people on earth. doesn't feel safe saying that. she was engaged to be married to a young man and this is some of the things he found interesting because we hadn't known about them, many of her very good friends. one of molly's good friends who was a very courageous figure in the

they are already sponging off our resources. i think we have done enough good to haiti.at the top, we gave a list of what other countries are giving initial relief. some other countries here, germany, $2 million, finland $1.8 million. that is the initial aid relief going into the country. "the wall street journal" a graph of the military relief that is arriving and today they will get another large aircraft carrier into the country, with 14 helicopters and relief supplies. that is from this morning. we go to urbana, ill., on the independent line. caller: i have been watching the news events closely and i heard about 50% of occasions or unemployed before this. about one in 10 were receiving some kind of foreign aid. this will take a long time to heal this. contra . untry host: we found on the start -- state department's website yesterday that the unemployment rate in the formal sector is between 70% and 80% and 54% of asians live on less than $1 per day, illiteracy is estimated at 44%. there's an article but says a haitian port capital incomef is extremely low. dallas, te

profits going forward in the future in this global economy, it is almost like they are ringing a spongey get beat up and divided by hate and fear, and nothing happens productive by the working and middle class. guest: you raise some good points. but if you talk to democrats, they say it is insurance companies who stand to benefit here who could see maybe millions of people added to the new roles. unlike the last go-around in this, in the army clinton years, when the insurance ministry was fighting this out, you have seen the insurance industry on board. you have seen farmia -- pharma on board. they are not particularly happy with developments in the last view days, but they have been at the tabling. business has actually been part of this. as we discussed, it is not a way to get private insurers out of the health care business, it is probably a way to give them a greater presence. host: pharma was mentioned in the papers this morning, saying they will oppose legislation if the white house and congress reduce a proposed 12-year exclusist period on buy logic drugs. that's part of the grou

they are already spending -- sponging off our resources, so i think that we have done enough good to haiti and i feel that' e are not responsible for footing this entire bill. host: you mentioned the international effort. at the top with a list of what other countries, it initially leave that is offered to the country of haiti. germany, 2 million, finland, 1.8 million, italy, 1.5 million. that is the initial aid relief going into the country. also, this is "the wall street journal" that we showed you and it has a graphic of the u.s.- military led relief as it is arriving. today they are expected to get another large aircraft carrier into the country. 14 helicopters and relief supplies, that is "the wall street journal" this morning. urbana, illinois, dave on the independent line. good morning. caller: i have been watching pretty closely the news event and some of the facts that i have heard is about 60% of haitians were unemployed before that, and about one out of town were receiving some sort of foreign aid. so i would like to see the united nations take the lead role. this will obv

for most sponges that was not much change in 2008 in the burden, however, for the federal government, increase in the health care spending burden, increasing from 20% to almost 36% bring this increase in burden can be displayed by a drop of revenue due to the recession, changes in the tax code from the economic stimulus act of 2008, in increases in the aftermath of the aara. additionally, it is important to note that for state and local we saw it not increase, and that was also due to impasse from the aara. with that, i would like to turn the rest of the presentation over to ann martin. thank you. >> thanks. my portion of the presentation is going to focus on these services and pairs of health- care goods and services in 2008. let's look at where the to plea $3 trillion was spent in 2008 hospitals accounted for 1/3 of total health-care spending.
