a report by the national traffic safety a ministration found under inflated tires were the biggest problemow its pressure is more likely to be involved in a crash. the new pricing strategy j.c. penney was trying out is apparently now working out so well. the company reported better than expected losses in the first quarter, putting an end to wrap the discounting. in the last quarter, the department store chain lost $153 million. that compares with a profit of $64 million last year. finally tonight, it looks like google is getting smarter. after spending the past two years poring through on-line encyclopedias, the company is extending its database from 12 million items up to 500 million items. the search engine is an information warehouse. the tool is designed in a way that thinks more like a human. >> that is fascinating. as we approach preakness, some people may not be comfortable betting on horses. why not try your luck on something smaller? the frog hop leapt into action this afternoon. people jockeying their fraud these, getting into the spirit a couple of days early. the hot originate

if all plays out the way it looks, the national oceanic and atmospheric ministration think this is a typical season but it becomes a typical if one of these hit your location. that is the only thing we cannot tell is where they will form or where they will track. they're keeping a close eye on the storm that is near the national hurricane center. an area of showers and storms that is becoming more organized. a potential of a 40% chance that this becomes the next named storm. the next name is beryl. the and grass pollen count is normal. scattered showers helping to keep the pollen count down. temperatures are warming up. we see 84 in cleveland. 85 in columbus, ohio. that warmth is inching our way. chicago at 89. as the warm comes in, we will see some isolated afternoon storms but high pressure is building over the region and that will suppress the storm activity on the weekend. we see some storms toward siegel -- cecil. they may rotate into parts of central maryland as the evening wears on. the forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and an evening storm and some fog. light east winds a

demand to meet the threat not understood to understand how blind the bush should ministrations was after 9/11. there are things the nation did that had been regretted. this is the executive-branch responsible and there is a lot of uncertainty of presidents will do what the public demands to keep the country's eighth. because other institutions engage and push them back. it is not possible to bring the extreme reaction at the beginning of a crisis. >> no question the bush should ministrations put to the country in terrible jeopardy to louis the constitutional effectiveness. the checks and balances bought back successfully in the new form. that story is different than the jeff sesnon story of the overreaction to restricted speech and that argument is decades after it persist. your story is it took a little while but institutions of practices that they dramatically alter initially in the bushes administration. can assist them be able to respond? with some familiar players. >> someone should moderate the use of overreaction many think of what have been in 9/11 of very similar reaction after pearl harbor after the firing on f

the federal government has given us the department of homeland security, the transportation security a ministration, and the national defense authorization act. how would you approach the problems of domestic security? >> i vetoed 750 bills as governor of new mexico. i have thousands of line-item vetoes. only two were overturned. it made a difference when it came to billion dollars in overspending and laws passed that would have just added time and money for us to have to comply with government. i have no aversion to vetoing legislation. so how does that apply to the president of the united states? if i would have been president of the united states, i would have vetoed homeland security. don't do it. [applause] incredibly redundant. these were activities that were already taking place and they give the state of new mexico money for a homeland security department. it just became an added title. there was nothing added when it came to homeland security, when it came to the federal government. when it comes to tsa, i would never have established tsa. i would have left airport security to the airport, to the airlines,

and that was that box had all the information that the ministration wanted to the media and the public and congress to hear what they would do is you to have the iraqi national congress taking bogus defectors the information from them giving them to the pentagon and then iraqi now. national congress then giving them to the journalists and they said if you don't believe us the iraqi national congress call the pentagon so you have the circular reporting and you had the new york times admitting that it was using one source for all of its information and weapons of mass destruction and it was you know sell firming by going to the pentagon which is to put this stuff on paper it was served. a lot of exaggerations partial information sometimes the whole information but on balance a very one sided view of iraq's w m d program and a lot of these stories the journalist didn't want to look into because the editors told him to run with we're going to be supportive of the administration it's the patriotic thing to do i think that there was on the part of the media too much of of in a sense getting into the upcoming war and not enough look at do we really need to go there

authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of american citizens indeed i believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation my ministration will interpret section ten twenty one in a manner that ensures that any detention that authorizes complies with the constitution the laws of war in all other applicable law. but there's a major problem with signing statements they're not binding law just because president obama promised that his america administration would not indefinitely detain americans there was nothing to stop future of ministrations from doing so so it was up to the american people to take action and we did led by a group of journalists whistleblowers and activists including chris hedges noam chomsky and daniel ellsberg a lawsuit was filed against president obama arguing that the indefinite provision was unconstitutional specifically the lawsuit argue that journalists and whistleblowers operating well within their first amendment rights to free press could be locked up forever if they had interviewed or associated with terrorist networks while covering a story and it was on these grounds the judge catherine for

toward the end of president bush's a ministration, national guardsmen were deployed along the border to assist with immigration issues. you made a slight reference to that. i wonder if you could tell me how successful that was and whether that is still going on or not in terms of our border patrol activities. i think it was in support of those whose job is to secure the border. >> you are correct. it is in support of the customs and border patrol. that mission has changed slightly this year. changed from 1200 people to 300 people and move from a ground mission to an aerial mission. 300 soldiers lying 19 helicopters and one fixed wing aircraft, along with analysts on the ground to help interpret the data for the border patrol from the information gained from those aircraft. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> i just want to follow-up on senator alexander's question relative to the a-10. the decision has been made to retire a certain model aircraft and replace it with others. i know there have been negotiations between the guard and the air force, and then referencing the action that the ho

call but co's also been regulated much more extensively than national and also fallen ministration has actually been working pretty closely with the industry their new interagency working group to come out with these rules got praise after praise from the industry for doing that so actually courts are going to say they don't want to be regulated but so far i think they're pretty happy. now my many people are concerned about fracking including their breweries and here's one of the headlines that says fracking could poison your next to be here that's what it rains the founder of brooklyn brewery fears toxic chemicals are making their way into beverages so if the possibility of poisoned water is enough to scare you could add very drinkers push this fight over the edge the digicam i saw i hope that i don't take any for the bear but i think it might. take a bit more on the environmental movement than just microbrew fans right well i guess anybody to stand by the cars so what are you hoping happens next what needs to be done in order to strengthen these rules that you say right now are inadequate as they stand the e.p.a. has been conduc

the food and drug in ministration bill? >> the manager's amendment that we all see on the floor today is about the national drug tracing systemial number as the pastor the system. we will see some amendments on giving the fda more power to investigate things and to give their employees a whistle-blower protection. >> what is the overall purpose of the fda reauthorization? >> it is to give the fda more money to conduct reviews of products like drugs and medical devices and to get money from the companies for a fund to get the product approved. the fda said they really count on this money to do the things for approving new products. >> let's dig more deeply into some of the amendments we are likely to see and debate this week. >> we will see one from senator john mccain on importing prescription drugs from canada. senator brown of ohio is a co- sponsor now. it is something a lot of senators support, but it is still controversial and i don't expect it will get adopted on to this bill. other amendments from bernie sanders of clinical trials. we will see different things pop up. we might even see a flood insurance program, which r

the clinton and ministrations. when you go to africa it jumps out at you that we abandon the continent and our own economic and national-securityeril. when you go to africa you see their is a little bit of money well spent that goes a long way. washington, a lot of money doesn't go anywhere. [laughter] goes down the whole it seems like. but the director is, i think, a good example of a public servant who is taking a business approach to a very difficult job, trying to incorporate the private sector. the purpose of this exercise today is for the people like me in the government, secretary clinton and director shock, to let you know the private sector, the face based community, the gates foundation, the private sector, an entrepreneur real businesses in america, that we can do this that you. the public dollars being spent, i think, are being well spent. director shaw has really been very good at reorganizing usaid. secretary clinton, if we paid for by the mile we would be more bankrupt. [laughter] i have never known someone so passionate about her job. she along with director shaw have looked at all of the programs, particularly
