twin threat facing the agenda. and there is a story on inflation out today. the economy and inflation is our first topic today. call the numbers on your screen. you can also send us a comment on twitter. let's look at some headlines. there is a story on inflation and the federal reserve. people who worry about inflation may not have fully grasped the ramifications of american households leveraging. the pullback is going in to prop up a faltering economy. at every level of society, the demand for cash is unprecedented. meanwhile in today's wall street journal, a report on a story twin threat jobless rate deficit. flags have been raised as the president who is so personally popular is losing ground on some of his economic policies. there is little he can do to please everybody. if he pulls back on the economic stimulus, he may be pulling back on green shoots. he expects the unemployment rate to reach 10% this year. rising joblessness could trigger pressure for another injection of spending. let's take our first call from new york on the independent line. caller

. >> the twins have thrived in interleague play.the astros can't wait to resume the nl portion of their schedule. they've dropped 6 of 7 to the a.l. second home run of the year, astros hold off the twins by a final count of 6-5. it's his first round-tripper since april 25th. lance berkman also went deep, solo jack. >> still to come on espnews, spain continues to unleash the red fury in the confederation red fury in the confederation cup. - ( cheerful tune playing ) - learned how to change my own oil. think i did something wrong! but you know how pricey these german cars are to maintain. right? max: actually, volkswagen has no-charge scheduled carefree maintenance. even the cc. >> i don't think the clearinghouse is an easy, perfect solution. .1. but i think they are a good cases for extending a clearing platform beyond the credit world. i mean, this has been discussed by some academics in the u.s. but simply having cbs in clearinghouse and leaving other derivatives of the clearinghouse creates problems. i think that there needs to be

the twins go on to win it by the final of 3-1. >> friday st. ramsey center, a 20,000-square-foot addition to the fieldhouse named after former coach and current espn basketball analyst jack ramsay. shaq will wear

the twins got a bargain.e was seen as a top 10 or top 12 pick but his velocity johned -- dropped and now he is 83-87. he has a stress trash -- frank in his forearm. the uncertain diaround the stress factor, the fact he is still hurt now hurt his draft stock, and give the twins credit, they were willing to take a gamble. >> who is closest to making the big show strasburg or st. hstorn >> i think storn will sign first. strasburg could go right into a big league rotation. so you can argue he is more ready in the sense he can be a bigger contributor in the short term but because storen is likely to sign quickly, doesn't have a lot of mileage on his arm and relievers move quickly through the minors he will make an impact first. >> what trend did you see. >> the signability issues. i thought a number of them would fall out of the first round. but they were selected, by and large most of those guys -- matt to the rangers, jay to be turn tore the tigers. mill tore the cardinals, big arms, potential impact guys, numbe

the twins are just # and 20 on the road this season. they're only 1 of 4 major league teams with fewer than ten road wins. phillies and mets and mets in the top of the tenth in the rubber match between these two teams. highlights coming up. >> tonight, rockies-brewers, colorado. riding a 7-game winning streak. ian stewart has been a major part of that. he gets into one again. top 4. solo shot, number 12 for stewart. rockies up 2-nil. bottom 7, bases loaded. huge opportunity! >> oh oh. struck out swinging. >> i thought you pulled something. >> i pulled something. >> brawn, and the rockies escaped with a 5-4 win, they won eight straight. they've outscored their opponents 55-20 in that span. >> a good, long one in houston. it's been some talk about the deep one to center, and the hill and all that. straight way, michael borne is out there. watch out for the hill, kid. what? no problem. oh, no, he didn't. borne catches it, that would be ap top play -- oh, yeah, wrong show. >> all right, lee off hawkins. that would tie the game. >> bottom of

. >> the american league, twins and a's in the afternoon. oakland hoping for a split of the four-game set. we'll talk joe mauer in a little bit. first, bottom of the eighth. adam kennedy. oh, boy. you talk about a guy that's helped out. right now at his current pace, he would finish, based on a 32 games with oakland. he would hit 25 homers and drive in 100 runs. that's how good he's been for oakland. wake up, america. adam kennedy tied the game at 3. bottom of the ninth. it's davis. a's win it, 4-3. only his third r.b.i. this entire season for davis. >> wow. so the odd thing in this game is the guy that you sigh with two hits, you don't see hitting joe ueuer. he goes 1 for 4, and dropped to .410. it's way to early to talk about anybody making a push to hit .400. but based on computer simulations, which we like to do, mauer has a chance of doing .380 or better. what do scouts say about mauer's ating that allows him to be in the annual conversation of guys that could pull it off? >> well, let's face it. c i talked to him recently about his app

and as i told you, bin laden and george bush are twins. who encouraged the islamic fundamentalist movement? it was the american male colonial power to fight the soviet union and communism. so they are twins. they work together and then they quarrel. sadat was killed by the islamic groups he created. in egypt. so the son kills the father. it's a very common story in history. i hope i answered your question about religion. [laughter] >> i'm not famously committed to defending religion, but it strikes me that looking at those same text you could also find the moments of something positive. there are wars in the name of religion but there are also hospitals. there are -- where i grew up, some of the best doctors were christian missionary doctors who came with christianity and driven -- drawn by christianity come to work for people in a poor country and they did a good job. and i say this not because i have any metaphysical commitment to religion because it seems to me that we live in a world in which most people, unlike you and me, are attract

the former twin is big, strong. he is going to be attacking these guys early and often.ving you the pnc scouting report. he loves to attack strike zones. he will throw 75 to 80% fastballs, has a great hook. .206, that's the batting average against garza. he and dion navarro got into an altercation in texas last year and that's when he said he started to mature as a pitcher and as a person. he is still only 25-year-old, great kid. we have our lights cut out for us to beat this young man. >> rob: tampa bay, defensively are in the bottom five. they made 42 error this is year. they played on turf a lot. this is an unusual field in that is it turf but has the full cut out on the infield with dirt. carl crawford has five assists and the best known player, of course, evan longoria. manny acta's nats, 16-42 on the year. this is the interleague stretch that we have been looking for, 15 in a row against the rays, the yankees, the blue jay, the red sox, and, again, the orioles. first pitch scheduled for 7:38. we are about a minute late here as garza throws to guzman. 90-plus outsid

so, the question that cleve proposed to us is develop a payment system that will respond to these twin goals of quality and affordability. and the key question for us was how do you extract the estimated 20 to 30% of care that is unnecessary and even harmful. and our response was you do it by putting physicians, care givers, and patients back into the center of the health care system, and give them financial incentives to improve care and eliminate waste. because, we believe that the most promising way to slow the growth in health care spending is by making care better. improved quality in our construct equals affordability. it may be the clearest win-win in the debate over health care reform as cleve said it is getting insufficient attention, we believe, hear in washington. -- here in washington and we are at a wonderful moment in massachusetts, where a public policy debate and a private sector innovation are coming together in a really unusual way. so i think most of you know that we passed several years ago a coverage reform law which has led to almost 98% of the residents of our st

so the question that cleve proposed to us is develop a payment system that will respond to these twingoals of the affordability and the key question for us is how do you extract the estimated 20 to 30% of care that is unnecessary and even harmful? our response was you do it by putting physicians, caregivers, and patients back in the center of the healthcare system and give them financial incentives to improve care and eliminate waste. because we believe that the most promising way to slow the growth in healthcare spending is by making care better. improved quality in our construct equals affordability. it may be the clearest win-win in the debate over healthcare reform and as cleve said, it's getting insufficient attention, we believe, here in washington. .. instead of focusing 0 coverage, it focused on cost an you >> and one of the centerpieces of that law was a payment reform commission which is focused on how do we change payments in massachusetts in a way that advances these twin goals of improved quality and cost. and remarkably, by the first meeting of this commission on which i

for instance, mark twin, mark twin was not a very nice man and didn't have much respect for the truth and just didn't give a damn. samuel johnson was quite lazy, by his own admission, quite physically unattractive, severely pockmarked face. he didn't like to go out in public. so that's why he did what he did. william randolph hearst was in the midst of a circulation war with joseph pulitzer's newspaper, the world, so virtually every instance in the book given of somebody who tries to create a myth has a different motivation behind it. but as i said, i think the worst thing to me is the behavior against hauptman, which was at its core, racist. >> your book couldn't come out at a better time, whether anything written can be fit or unfit. in your research, did you see increase of frequency or in terms of malfeasance, as it progressed in terms of time, like closer to our time, did it happen more or it happened more in the past? >> i think the more serious examples happened in the past. the state of journalism is, i don't think, to be commended much today, but largely for different reasons

tight integrated nature of health care and health care delivery in minnesota, particularly in the twin cities, but certainly in rochester, minnesota, as well a place called mayo. and many of you have heard of mayo, and it's getting a lot of play in the national discussion. we in minnesota are very proud of the mayo health care system and it certainly does an outstanding job. but i'm also here to tell you that we have a number of terrific health care providers in minnesota, and we have significant opportunity to have quality and to have tremendous amount of access as a result of that. so you have can see that the fair view system, aligna, health east an mayo, all of these institutions as well as our children's hospitals and a number of other institutions provide outstanding care for the folks in minnesota, and this is -- this is really an important issue. one of the community ethics that i think has been advanced in minnesota and is one of the distinctives, if you will, is that we have learned a lot of lessons about where should we collaborate, and where should we compete? and the syste

holds so many of their records in the twin city. >> rob: masset has done some traveling. he was acquired by the whe sox a few years ago. he traveled over the cincinnati. he was minor league pitcher of the year for the ngers actually minor league pitcher of the month in july 05. he was very high on their prospect list and made the team out of spring training in 2007. >> johnny: he signed with the ball club this year. 3-0 to adam dunn. they're trying to get a runner on base now in this bottom of the 10th inning. 6', 235 ou st. florida. nobody on, one out here inthe bottom of the 10th. >> rob: adam dunn probably has the green lighto try to win this. >> johnny: it would be nice to talk about adam's th home run of the year. [cheering and applause] nice recovery by brandon phillips ththe nationals first run, will come upswinging again. 0-3 tonight. .264 average. nick masset retiring the first two here's in the 10th. >> b: used to say to our guys late in the ballgame, right man, right time. go up there thinking, two outs -- >> johnny: right back. easy toss to 1st base. it's a o

. >> all right, twins ace minnesota trying to win three in a row on the road for the first time this season. adam kennedy, what a find he has been for the a's. two-run shot, ties the game at 3. bottom nine, tied at 3. davis the bloop hit to right, a's win 4-3. oakland starting to pick up steam. the a's won nine of 12 overall, which includes a 7-game win streak in that. >> ian stewart has been red hot. top four, continues that streak. number 12 on the year. rockies up 2-0. bottom 7, brewers down 3-1. bases loaded for ryan brawn. brewers scored. his fourth straight he fought only a half game ahead of st. louis. the rockies now won eight straight which is their longest win streak since 2007. >> all right, good one. cubs-astros. watch this. all right. at the plate, he gets all up on one. that ties the game at 1. number 7. bottom of the 13th. still tied at 1. inside the line. here comes hunter pens. you're not going to catch that guy. and the astros win in 13. 2-1. do you remember when making dinner meant finding just the right stick for your hot dog. when new every fork on the trail led

. >> jim: craig breslow comes often he was picked up by the twins on the 20th and pitched very well since joining the athletics. and one thing you look at, buck, with relievers who come into games with an inning, how many of the first batters does he retire. he has faced 9 and retired eight of those. >> buck: and one of those came last night in the 8th inning when he struckout nick markakis looking and gave up base hits to adam jones and luke scott. but that's the line drive off the bat of aubrey huff. >> jim: ahead of nick, 0-1. and a chance to do something here. the bullpen has kept it a ballgame. and giving credit to brian bas and and matt albers were outstanding today. here is the 0-1. davis on the run and he makes the catch as that ball curled back, markakis hit that ball right on the nose. the orioles strand two. bottom of the 8th, the athletics hanging on to a 3-0 lead. with the calendar, i can schedule all my payments. and when funds are low, danger days help me stay out of the red. i can also transfer money with just a click and a drag. so maybe i'm better with money than i

randy johnson is an incredible 13-0 versus the cubs, while roy halladay is 8-0 against the twins. schmidt, 8-0 against the marlins. >> when the current wimbledon fourth night draws to a close roger federer could stand alone writing his own chapter in the history of men's tennis. federer, who had his ron of five straight singles titles at the all england club snapped by nadal last year, will not have to face his rival this week. and if federer can navigate the rest of the field, he'll win a record 15th grand slam title. on monday he faced soderling. to the second set we go, federer having taken the first set 6-4, 1-all in the second set. tie-break, federer on the run, come on. we'll take another look. look at the wrist. just like that. federer takes the second set and the tie-break. we go to the third set. federer down 4-5. in the tie-break. soderling, serves and then a solid forehand up the line. and federer does that. he ties the tie-break at 5-all. soderling, perhaps shaken a bit by federer's talent on that last point. double fault. match point now for federer. roger serving. so

twins are just 9-20 on the road this season. >> runs batted in, and luis castillo each time. phillies more balanced and all knotted up. as soon as this game ends, we'll have highlights for you. some interleague play, mets against the yankees. boston at phillie. >> all right, rockies, brewers. >> stewart has been awesome. >> rockies up early. that one off galliard owe. up 2-0. ryan brawn, bases loaded. two outs. oh oh. swings and missed. rockies escape with the 5-4 win. with the loss, only a half game ahead of st. louis now, who was able to win on thursday. >> hoff a. you know, he's been the source of controversy over the years. >> who needs to be 34 and 6 feet away from the hill? >> michael bourne was thinking about breaking more than that. astros still up top 9. derrek lee. hasn't been the greatest year for him. this was a good moment though. his 7th. tied at 1. we go all the way to the bottom of the 13th. rips it just inside the line. hunter pens is on his hours horse, that's all she wrote. cubs. his second straight game, with a walkoff hit. derrek lee's solo home run exten

we had twins, and we didn't know what we were doing, not a clue. so you learn on the job. and it's a constant learning process and the thing i learned the most, it's not any one thing you do for your kids. it's all the thousands of things you do, all the thousands of hours you spend reading and going to the library. all of these things. one thing in our family that is very important is just eating dinner together. and it started out, dinner is long because the girl's mother is a dietician and she wanted them to eat their vegetables. and they didn't want to and dinner was long. but as this continued, this was where we caught up with each other's lives. and we still do it. and being a father is just the greatest. i will not celeb, just a dad, but that's the best thing i could be. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. so since this is a townhall, we want to have some interaction. we want to hear from you, and ask questions. i have a couple of questions. joe, you are running a program in baltimore, maryland. i want to hear from you, if you have advice for citizens in t

and now the twins down 5-3 and kubel down the line and pujols getting it done. a gold glove in 2006. and four r.b.i.'s and two home runs and the cardinals end a three-game losing streak and st. louis scoring three runs and they get five today. and albert, of course, a big game. but he played it off as if it were no big deal. >> some day i am going to miss those pitch, some day i am going to have a good day like i did today. i wish they could come more often, but all the time it isn't going to happen. it isn't going to happen. because if it does happen, why you even play this game, it wouldn't be fun to you. so you need to adjust for now. i mean last night i came in here, today i watched a couple of video, i find a couple of things i think i was missing and i went out today and executed and that's how you learn. >> the sixth multihome run game, the most in major league baseball. and the 29 career with two home runs passing mark mcgwire in cardinal history. >>> and yesterday, milton bradley took out frustration on the water cooler and a helmet. and he got the star

lungren: madam speaker, among the most important issues facing us today are the twin issues of the economy and energy. and unfortunately in this body and across the other chamber we often discuss those two issues separately as if they had no connection with one another. and yet they have a very, very important link with one another. when the economy is down it has an impact on the energy, and when energy prices go up or down it has an immediate impact on the economy. the strange thing is that as we look at an energy policy that's going to be presented to us by way of a bill from the majority shortly, there appears to be a lack of appreciation for changes in energy policy and their impact on our economy. there seems to be some sort of question as to whether or not we ought to exercise our responsibilities to utilize those energy sources that are most abundant in these united states. coal appears to be one of those things that we're going to wrap up, close up, put off the -- put on the shelf and not allow ourselves to use it. rather than a real effort for clean coal energy, there appears to

bin laden and george bush are twins. you know, they needed each other -- the whole problem of religious fundamentalism and going back to islamic fundamentalism or christian fundamentalism or jewish fundamentalism, it's political. it's economic. as if religion is separate, number one, from politics. religion is a political ideology. then he spoke about science as if science has no passion or compassion. i'm a medical doctor, and i felt a lot of passion and compassion as a medical doctor to my patients and if we really understand science, it's full of passion and compassion and passion and feelings. there is no separation between feeling and thinking. there is no separation between my body, my spirit, and my mind. you know, so but he was bringing -- he was a victim of the split that we inherited from slavery. between the physical and the spiritual. between science and art. and he said people go back to religion because science is cold and has no passion and compassion. and this is not true. but who can answer him if i writ

twins win by the final count of 5-1 as they end up getting the save in the top of the ninth. stab right there to morneau. we love how these things work out, j-dub, nick blackburn, first career complete game, 4-0 with a 1.84 e.r.a. over the last eight starts. >> rockies beat the rays. 15-5 under jim tracy. last midseason replacement to win 15 of his first 20 games, joe morgan with the 1988 boston red sox who went 19-1. >> with u.s. open play resuming.

. >> you have to start thinking about brian bass because he was a starter with the minnesota twins before he came here, that he might be considered for a starting role here. if this starting staff doesn't start getting things in line. to do what they're doing right now on this road trip, losing five games its way they've done with no offense, the only game they really won was a 1-0 ballgame up in seattle. you have to tart considering shaking everybody up and start moving some guys in that are doing the job. >> and brian bass certainly did the job today, getting them out of a jam in the first and pitching four and a third innings. we're going to revisit with jim hunter and buck martinez. time for the dave trembley interview and let's return back to jim hunter. >> tom, thank you very much. and joined now by the manager of the orioles, dave trembley. a very tough first inning as rich hill had very little command of the you got out of it, very good by the bullpen but the first inning too much to overcome. >> we said the key for hill was to get out of the first inning. especially when they hav

the twins are just 9 and 20 on the road this season. they have fewer than ten road wins. >> rockies-brewers, colorado riding a seven-game win streak. ian stewart, a major part of that. continuing to role. this one will get out. number 12, up 2-0. bottom 7. big play here. bases loaded for ryan brawn. 2-2 counts. swing and a miss. brawn would homer in the ninth. but the rockies escape. they've now won eight straight. outscoring their opponents during that span. galliard owe, five innings, that ties the shortest outing of the season with a loss. >> all right, houston took 1 innings, but they found a winn winner. >> walkoffs, extra innings. the most bizarre thing you'll see tonight in sports is coming up next. thank you. mr. scott of georgia is recognized five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to see to things because i think from various conversations during the first part of the hearing just to make clear we are all capitalists. we believe strong in the capitalist system and the reason this committee is moving in exploring this

those twin goals benefiting our people in harm's way in rebuilding the trust of those here, represent the bedrock intention behind accretion of the commission so thank you for being here and at this point i defer to chairman flake. >> i am pleased to be here in pleased to hear the testimony particularly from congressman shays. i know he traveled to iraq and afghanistan a couple of times, right? more than a few. and i just am pleased that we are doing more oversight here. obviously there is never too much oversight that can be done and particularly in this area. the u.s. military base budget for the current fiscal year is more than 500 billion. congress has appropriated roughly-- for the wars in afghanistan and iraq. i king commiserate with the commission on how tough it has to be to get access to information that you need to do. i had been waiting for more than two months for competitive bidding information just on a small subset of 2008 defense contracts. on details appeared to be shrouded in mystery here. in fact, i look forward to the possibility of having someone who is knowledgea

before finally turning back on the advice of a dead man, he and i were not exactly psychic twins, after all. but as it turned out we were not so different as i thought there can buy the time i finished writing that book, and then touring with that, not only was my gas tank empty, my suspension was shocked, my wheels were out of alignment, my satellite navigation system and operable. even the radio had crapped out. and that was just on the creative side. my mother had just died after a long illness, and both of my daughters were to be married within that year. only a fool would be in a novel under such conditions. on the other hand, since writing is a discipline, taking time off didn't seem like that great an idea either. riders are a lot like athletes. in that rhythm is paramount to our success or we are always trying to find our rhythm or try not to lose it. you can't think about hitting a baseball. you have to hit it. by the time you have thought about it it's already in the catchers glove. novel is to have time to think, of course, but thinking, the particular kind of thinking that n
