we created the university system of ohio in order to unify our higher education in our state, and to help us pursue the goal of being the best in the nation at turning our university research into new jobs and economic development. and today we are pursuing a groundbreaking agreement that will help our university system turn great ideas into new products and new jobs. my administration and attorney general rich cordray are overseeing talks toward reaching a standing agreement between the entire university system of ohio and consumer product powerhouse p&g. with the contract in place, we will speed up and strengthen research collaborations between our university faculty and the company. p&g will get the benefit of our innovative thinkers. our universities will get the benefit of unprecedented opportunities to collaborate with p&g on new products. and ohioans will get the benefit of new economic development. and we can use this agreement as a model for other companies and industries that want to work with ohio's innovative institutions. so today, i am calling on the ohio auto industry s

i am from texas state university. you talked about one of the pivotal principles of your leadership style, to look forward and look past the current president. you had a meeting with the present yesterday about national security. what did you take from that meeting and how does that play out to looking forward as we move into afghanistan and possibly looking at yemen and other national security issues? >> the summary of it was very well laid out by the president. he said we made a mistake. we had the intelligence and did not connect the dots per it we need to prove that and make sure that does not happen again. i normally don't get into any kind of details. in fact, that aspect of it which goes back to the information- sharing question that was asked earlier, we have systems which are much better but we also have a massive amount of data. we have a massive amount of information and how do you create systems and how you inject the human factor in a way where it pulls up the critical information? i believe in the future

. >> we're at frostburg state university speaking with thomas a. lewis author of brace for impact.om, to start off with, what do you see as the major threats to our current way of living? >> well, that's the content of most of the book. it's a long list. what i did was organize it into the threats that i see gathered against our systems that sustain us. i look into food, both the food that we grow and the animals that we raise. i look into water, the supply of water and the treatment of wastewater. and energy. oil and electricity. and each of those categories is of a system that has been increasingly industrialized and is increasingly in peril of failing. mortal stress on all of those systems. and usually people don't look at them all at one time. you get people specializing in electricity. well, one of the things about electricity is that it takes three times as much water to get you the electricity to your home that you use than it does the water that you use, you know? so the electricity has an impact on water. so i tried to gather in one place these threats and their dimension.

all right. >> jonathan hayes, arkansas state university, i want to know in your own personal experience how you were able to be balance a delegate and trustee in your congressional career? >> i have to be very careful that i have done so much stuff with the washington center that i know there is political scientists in the room. i served in congress 16 years and never heard delegate trustee until after i left congress. as i said, earlier, using the delegate part, what you have to do, and what wes on you all the time, and should weigh on you, is that you are a representative of a particular community. that's what is different by our constitution and british way of doing it. you represent a particular constituency and i think you have to take that importantly. very importantly. one of the problems with those reform advocates who say, what we need to do is create competitive elections. we need to redraw all the districts so that they're all competitive. is that, and there's, merit to that but it overlooks the other part of it, which is the representational function. so that if you have a c

from chicago through the south suburbs past peotone, through kankakee, all the way to our great state university at urbana-champaign. it is very important that we have super fast rail and even in our capital bill, we have some resources available to begin planning a very fast train that would connect chaco and champagne. i think it's important to understand -- chicago and champaign. we can grow our economies correspondingly across the midwest but particularly connecting to universities and airports and having the opportunity with rail and highway transportation to be at the center of distribution for the whole middle part of our country. we want the use an inland port -- that whole idea to create new jobs, high-wage jobs in illinois. this is not pie in the sky. we are already doing it in joliet, where we are creating an intermodal that will create thousands of jobs for hard- working people. it is also important not to make little plans. we have to have big plans. we cannot have a governor who just sees a day or two ahead. we have to have a plan for our economy for the next generation. that is wh

over the last four years, along with my students at the state university of new york school of law i'vepresented guantÁnamo prisoners of various nationalities before federal district and appellate court in abs proceedings and before the military commissions at wonton amo. nic some of my students from two of those institutions here. so consider this a shout out. you know, our clients have fully experienced the u.s. detention and interrogation apparatus post 9/11 and i mean that very broadly. you know, to include rendition, torture, interrogation, and detention, so-called cia black sites at various cf military sites and proxy detention sites run by foreign governments in close collaboration with u.s. authorities. and what our clients experience 's have highlighted that dehumanization is a central feature by design at the u.s. detention apparatus and an unintended consequence. everything from the interrogation techniques that we've all heard about a cia black sites to systematic abuse at background, haar, although great, wonton amo, to the use of serial numbers instead of names when referr

i was reading the details, especially in my senior year at wayne state university law school. got the impression that something very big was happening. and so, there was little doubt in my mind that as soon as i could, i was going to get down there and find out about it. dr. king and sclc would send people up to collect funds in primarily new york, los angeles, chicago, and detroit, and they were very modest funds, to be sure, but i always managed to see them when they were in detroit, when dr. king himself could not come. andrew young would come, ralph abernathy with, and others. -- would come and others. i was obsessed with what was going on in this activity. my father was an international representative for the united automobile workers in detroit whose headquarters were there. and so, i have a feeling -- i have a feeling about working people and ending discrimination. and organizing, collective bargaining, the idea of people having a voice with their employers as to the terms of their employment and wages and working conditions. it was in that sense, i felt a comradeship w

butts iii, president of the state university new york college. dr. butts? >> thank you. is an inherited faith that found its fruition through practice and imitation. my spirituality comes largely out of practice in worship and imitation of those who went before me, primarily my parents. i inherited the faith of my parents. they took me to church, encouraged me in church and it was there in the worship experience of church, primarily the sunday school, that i learned about god. in that learning, i learned a number of things, most important, scripture. scripture that said one day the lion and the lamb would lie down together. that said the land would flow with milk and honey. that every valley would be exalted and every mountain and hill made low. i would hear that over and over and over again. one of the things that struck me about a rabbi from nazareth was that one of the scriptures that he quoted in the beginning of his ministry said that the spirit of the lord was upon him. because it had anointed him to preach good news to the poor. the recovery of sight to the blind.

universities. if you want to attract the best and brightest from other states you must build great universities and if you want to build a labor force that will propel us into the future, you must build great universities. and they were right. hundreds of thousands of kansans have graduated from the schools and make kansas what it is today. scored were the guys that were supposed to score. steckel did get on the board. they weren't overly offensive and we have to depend on them to play well and the defense has to step up. >> you mentioned offense and defense and we will talk about special teams as we just passed the midway point of the season it is time to give a few games about the wash capitals. joe and craig will be joining us momentarily from down in the forum in tampa and we will get their thoughts. allen why don't we begin the grading procedure. we will start with the capitals offense, can you give them anything but an "a." >> they are leading the league in goals scored and the second most powerful goals and 21 power play goals and they have done everything they need to do offensively and not

. >> arkansas state university, and i want to know, how are you able to balance between being a delegateso much with the washington senator that i know there are political scientists in the room. i served with congress for 16 years, and i never heard delegate trusty until after i left congress. as i said earlier, using the delegate part, but you have to do, and what weighs on you all the time -- and what you have to do, and weighs on you all the time, is you are the representative of a certain community. you represent a particular constituency, and i think you have to take that as important. one problem with the reform advocates who say what we need to do is create competitive elections -- we need to redraw all districts so they are all competitive, and there is merit to that, but it overlooks the other part of it, which is the representational function, so if you have a community that has a collective interests that is mostly wheat farmers, you do not need somebody to represent that anti-wheat farmer position. representation is important, but i found often that my constituents, who are

here at wayne state university and the university of michigan have played similar roles.he region's problems, 63% of respondents are optimistic about the future of the detroit area. that does not strike me as optimism. the people of detroit now -- no that with patience and determination, this can be a vibrant economic center once again. it takes some time, but it has been done before and it can be done again. we are trying to attract employers. i will bet on the people of detroit. let me now turn into freddie mac. let me turn to the broad priorities as identified by our regulator and conservator. the federal housing finance agency has described the three main duties of the government sponsored entities as follows. we are to provide ongoing support to the housing market. the mediates witnesses in our company. -- we mediaremediate witnesses r company. we are to prevent avoidable foreclosures. first, i will describe our stable, ongoing support to the housing market which includes a large part of our every day mission. with the market's still see step, we continue to provide

. >> jonathan, arkansas state university. i just wanted to know what you think the impact of watergate had on investigative journalism, most specifically the work that they did to lead to the down fall of the nixon presidency? >> wow. well, i have enormous regard for both of those reporters and bob woodward continues to amaze me. he continues to produce these extraordinary books. presidents and seconds of state, defense, are all -- when they're in power they're all very critical of woodward. but when they leave power they all read those books and try next time he calls to be available and to share some of the stories with him. what watergate did with the reporting of woodward and burn seen it did was make president often tedious job of investigative journalism exciting. because the stories themselves, each one of them was not a blockbuster. there were little pieces of a large jigsaw puzzle. and they were putting it together piece by piece. they didn't have the story. it was a gut sense on their part that this is going up pret

speaker, i rise today in awe of the penn state university women's volleyball team. often here in this chamber about undefeated or championship teams. but rarely have a heard about this. these nittany line lyons hasn't lost a game since 2007, they have a record 18 consecutive ncaa victories and they beat the university of texas lady longhorns for their third consecutive championship. i can't say enough about the team and its leaders masme began hodge became just the fifth player in division one history to be named first-team all american four years in a row and also was named the american volleyball coach's association national player of the year for twibe. it is enough to say i'm proud of this team. i repeat that i'm awe struck and struggling to find the words to properly praise them. i will simply say congratulations. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina rise? >> mr. speaker, i ask permission to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: wok. >> mr. speaker, on sunday i was

i watched the enormous decline in support to that university. 40,000 students are not at the state university and the university of california this year. those are the people that will need us in the future, they will not be available to us. the stimulus package also put a lot of money into the education system and kept the schools open, kept the teachers working. thank you so very, very much. i yield my time. mr. perriello: thank you. biffer go to the gentleman from ohio i think it is important to note how serious fiscal responsibility is and how serious it is for those of us frankly who are some of the younger members of this body, who understand that this threat of fiscal irresponsibility is not coming due for our children and our grandchildren, it's not that far off. it's going to be within our lifetime that we see this and in order to fix a problem, sometimes you have to understand the root cause of that problem. with that i yield to the gentleman from ohio. mr. driehaus: i want to thank the gentleman from virginia. madam speaker, you know, i think it's important to look back and to dete

states and canada, for example, or the various agreements that are in the european union have near the power of domestic law as does a common defense pact such as that which holds nato together. but universal treaties necessarily include all states, democratic and tyrannical, compliant and generally noncompliant. such agreements will not be adhered to by rogue states, who will cheat as suits their purposes. rendering the treaty not only useless but worse than useless. for example, alleged violations of the nonproliferation treaties are referred to the iaea, a procedure that leads to complacency, to say nothing of endless delay because it gives the delusion of enforcement. these agreements are almost never enforced. indeed the one act of enforcement in recent times, the removal of the rogue regime of saddam hussein after a decade of serial violations of security council resolutions demanding disarmament has been widely deflounced around the world that obama has spent much of the last year apologizing for it. as for this community of nations, this does not mean that there are no such communities. margaret thatcher and ronald reagan did not lack for a sense of community. and that was the comm

i also want to welcome the president of iowa state university, two members of the board of regents, andservice to the state as well. [applause] as you can see, we have a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time this session. but nothing that we do here is more important than doing our part to help create and retain good-paying, private-sector jobs. and i want to recognize and thank those who have the courage and foresight to stand up and join me in passing the initiative in the last session. this was an important step. let's remember what ijobs did, and why people across iowa support this. this is fair and equitable. every county will receive funding that can be dedicated to the high-priority infrastructure projects of their own choice. the process of getting the funding to each of the 99 counties is transparent and merits space. the bipartisan board is compromise the people who have given their time and expertise with one goal in mind, to award the funding according to the spirit of the law. we do not use public funding to build bridges to know where. -- to know where -- to kno
