it didn't take us that long, in fact, to become producers of great universities with great discoveries it can happen in a relatively short period of time, but there has to be certain ingredients that are there. >> rose: when you say why it must be protected it's suggested that there's a risk about it. >> well, i think there are risks. first of all, these fragile institutions. one only has to go back to january, 1933 when germany and german universities dominated the world of hire learning. they captured most of the nobel prizes in the first three decades of the century. they were the envy of american leaders of higher education. january, 1933, hitler comes to power. in the same month franklin d. roosevelt takes office and what happens? by april of 1933, the german universities were purged, they were purged for ideological reasons, for racial and religious reasons, and there was a huge exodus from europe and from the german universities. they were destroyed. they were dismantled. and 80 years later there's not a single german university in the top 50 in the world. so it's much more diff

our intelligence told us that iran would have the long range ballistic capability somewhere between 2015 and 2020. i would say 2015 then, as serious ass that. the sm 31 b would be 2015. it doesn't matter. that doesn't have the capability nor does the 2 a variety which would get into the intermediate. that is supposed to be somewhere around 218. the sm 32 b which is comparable to what we would have had and i think this is the case, if we kept the ground-based systems or the interceptor in poland. there is no data on that. i would say and of course i objected to that first budget that the president for terminating all the programs like the f 22 and c 17 combat system. the thing i found most objectable was when he pulled the rug out from under poland and the czechoslovakia republic. i was with them this last friday. what i'm saying is that capability is there. we don't have a way of deterring that other than i understand the argument that we have the ground-based system in alaska and california. i don't have the confidence that they would have that. briefly, what am i overlooking? >> senato

we're living with the leg seive of that storm that have taken us this long. >> the work here is unbelievable. >> and everyone that worked on this. this is the best work ever. >> and gave their time. it goes back to 1863. >> the shops which is the site of the museum. >> it was a new type of engine and. and it was invented by the master of manry: and across and carried troops during the war. >> and and this presented as number 117 and that's a number that was given on the anniversary. >> and it was unveiled. >> they did a great job. and the work goes on. >> we started the next project that's an 1869 loco motive damaged. we hope to roll that out in the next year. >> good to see you, courtney wilson. >> hello back at your place. >> thank you. >> sure. >> don and tim, come on down to the museum. see the thatcher perkins. take an long time to restore these we were talking. if you remember back 2003 that was the bad storm that we had. >> it was. >> it sat and it did the damage. >> it did. all right, guys. have a great day. talk to you soon. >> you, too. >> courtney as well. they have done a great j

a big new study out in the new england journal of medicine seems to give the reassurance that long-term usee the risk of a thigh bone breaking, but once again, dr. richard besser has been looking closely at the numbers. what did you find? >> reporter: well, diane, for two weeks, we've been looking at a possible connection between long-term use of fos max and fractures of the thigh bone. already starting to see headlines that say, good news, there's no risk, but i don't think people should be so assured. i read the fine print. they studied more than 14,000 women, so it's a very -- >> sounds big. >> reporter: very large. however, when you look at it closely, in were only 662 women who were on the drug for more than five years. that's the group that we're hearing concerns about, from women and from surgeons. so, i don't think the jury is in. >> so the bottom line on this? >> reporter: the bottom line is, the editorial makes the point very well. doctors shouldn't be scared off using this in the appropriate women. women who have osteoporosis who are at risk of fractures of the hip. but they shou

use. that long pipeline, which can stretch out over a decade or more, can be expensive. rily the province of the private sector. but we will lead to progress at the level that we hope to if we leave it only in that area. again, we can come up with a new model for partnership between nih-funded and a sears and pharma. this could be very exciting. - andbetween nih-funded investigators and format. this could be very exciting. ñrif looks like there could be k promising. the company will say that they are interested. they can take it and carry it through. they will have the appropriate profit motive because the economic advantages look pretty acceptable. similarly, there may be compounds out there that companies have carried pretty far along and abandoned for one reason or another. we could bring them back into the public pipeline and see what we can do it with them, repurchase them for some other application. this pipeline re-engineering is an export -- is an exciting prospect. Ñifive years ago, i do nothing e could have done this. now we can. to facilitate that, just two day

that's true of most people. so the benefits, i think, outweigh the curses. >> host: could you briefly tell us what your role was or is in the invention of the cell phone? >> guest: well, it's a long story, and it has to do with the fact that at&t invented cellular telephoneny. as far as back as 1946, if you would imagine. and then in the 1960s they suggested they were prepared to commercialize it, and they had two conditions. one is that they were the only people technically and financially capable of creating this new concept of cellular telephoneny and, there therefory wanted to have a monopoly. and the second thing, their version of cell phones was with car telephones, if you could imagine that. and i was with this little company in chicago called motorola, and our vision was that the time was ready for people to have the freedom of personal portable devices that would let them communicate wherever, wherever they were. so this little company decided to take on the largest company in the world. and we did. and by 1973 the fcc was ready to make a decision, and that decision was monopoly or not and will the industry get to pick the technology so that you could have portables in c

that plagued us two days. monday and tuesday that brought the rain. this was a long-lived storm. very weak now off the coast of boston. rhode island happy to see the storm go. had heavy flooding toward new england from it. here a few thin clouds pushing out of the west. no big-time stormy weather in the future. mild tonight and tomorrow. into the day on friday and saturday warmer weather as a huge ridge of high pressure slides in. warm, core high pressure sort of a subtropical high will mean temperatures like this for us over to the next several days pushing into the 80s. st. louis today got to 86. that's the air mass headed in our direction. 42. clear. cool. breezy tonight. tomorrow two-degree temperature 77. sunny skies. beautiful blue skies. tomorrow night we are talking at 47 or so. clear skies. not quite as chilly tomorrow night. look at the seven-day forecast. a lot of people with big travel plans for easter weekend. i think you look great for that. 80 friday. dry roads. then into saturday more good stuff. maybe a few more clouds saturday. so we drop the temperatures to 78.

that's not fair to us. >> somebody will hurt you if they let you out. >> i know and that's why i'm trying to get out of here. i hope none of us do a long time. i pray every night and day. when i get up, when i'm laying in my bed and right before i go to bed. >> yeah, me too. i'll be glad when all this is over with. maybe i could sleep again. >> yeah. can't wait. >> it's bad when you got both of your kids in jail and worried to death about both of them. >> i know. it sucks, but we're going to get out, dad. i'm freaking hungry. i couldn't eat their food today. >> watch your mouth. >> their food was so nasty tonight. >> well, didn't you order something, some cakes and stuff? >> well, we get it tomorrow. >> oh. >> yeah. >> how much money did you order? >> i spent all of the $60 because i had to get, like, socks and t-shirts and stuff. >> but you just another another $100 put on there today. did you know there was $100 put on there? >> no, i didn't know that. >> he just put it on today. you look funny with them braids in your hair. >> i know. i'm taking them out tonight. >> you're still beautiful. >> i know. i try to be beautiful. it's hard to be

interpretation but dilutes the outlawed not just the other countries to use it against us in the future, they will that is not in our long-term interest rather they will start using it against each other in the future including our allies part of this for example, the seidman united states in its intervention into kosovo developed something that looked very close to humanitarian intervention. russia, a couple years later use that as an excuse for going into south ossetia in georgia and perry did the same bank which that the united states and the allies used in 1999. that is the system regressed. them there is of reputation. you may say it is a superpower we are much higher so the diplomatic might should be up there. the one thing you might consider that henry kissinger said it is lonely at the top of there is only one superpower there will be a natural balance. maybe they graph will be tilted a little bit but what we see during some periods of time with the united states is plainly violating international law that would have been the saturation with the white house torture memos the extraordinary rendition policy and the

community in high-speed rail, in highways, in bridges, in basic infrastructure, and in things that will serve us for a long time to come. the senator from alabama says let's stop doing that. let's stop putting that money into those investments. well, i think that's shortsighted. i think what we need to do is to follow the president's lead and to make the investments in our economy today to get this economy chugging and moving forward. that, to me, is the first step in reducing our long-term deficit. until we get out of this recession, get people back to work, paying their taxes, the deficit will continue to grow. what's the second thing we can do to deal with our deficit? health care cost. health care costs are going through the roof. i've said on the floor before that the mayor of kankakee, illinois, told me last week that she just got her health insurance bill for the 200 city employees for next year and the premiums are going up 83%. she's going to cut back on coverage, more co-pays, more deductibles and hope to get it down to a 50% increase. it will mean in a city hard pressed to meet basic needs, ther

wolf, you've been covering it as long as any of us, in the past if the u.s. president is mad at you, thats you problems at home. the israelis think this a little different, because unlike president bush and president clinton and going back in time, barack obama while he's popular in most places around the world, is not popular in israel. and that complicates this because netanyahu may have more room to maneuver here at home and not have to be so compliant with the white house demands. >> very quickly. >> i think mary's comment and your comment, how much we're on a knife edge. if we're too stuff, it complicates the solution for iran. if we're too easy, petraeus says it threatens our troops. it's the knife's edge. >> that's why we'll stay on top of this story. john will be back right at the top of the hour, "john king, usa." he's got a big guest at the top of the hour. >> treasury secretary, tim geithner, and a fascinating conversation we'll have about the economy, about the china challenge, many other issues. >> right at the top of the hour, "john king, usa." thank you. >>> jack cafferty c

us get it through our employers. that's nearly 59% of the population. president obama has long said if we have it and like it we can keep it. but mark strassmann tells us it's still going to cost us. >> reporter: for most americans insured through work, coverage is expected to stay the same or improve. with no lifetime caps, no denial of benefits if people get sick and continued coverage if you lose or change jobs. but premiums will continue to rise. how much? no one's certain. to pay for all this sweeping reform, here's what will change. tax-free flexible spending accounts will be cut in half. they reimburse the medical bills not covered by insurance. the new cap? $2,500. and if you make more, you'll pay more. starting in 2013, individuals earning more than $200,000 a year and families earning more than $250,000 will pay almost 1% more on their medicare payroll tax. for a family earning $500,000, it means an extra $2,250 a year. those same high earners will face an extra 3.8% medicare tax on their net investment income. >> we'll try to cut those in the morning. >> reporter: ri

environment that our troops need as the date -- >> i understand the real issue is, how much is that costing us? how long will that continue to the point where we can say we have done our think, five years, 10 years? >> i do not know if i can answer it that way, but i can answer this way. we believe that our efforts, which are coordinated closely with our military, and will transform into a regular diplomatic and development relationship. we provide development aid it to a lot of countries where we do not have troops because we think it is in our interests. as we are in this intense phase that will be several years, i do not know that any of us could put a timeline on it, what we are trying to do simultaneously is clear territory from the taliban, to be able to work closely with the afghan army by helping to build them up with our allies. we are getting support there. and at the same time, cray more capacity. >> can you outline the help you are getting? >> sure. we can give you that in detail. -- create more capacity. our troops will be out of iraq in 2011. we will have and relationship with iraq. we wil

that response? >> this is a long-term and tough subject for us to claim immediate results. t's not going to happen that way. governments are testing the limits, and we're pushing back. i think in the long run we're going to succeed, because i think efforts by governments to control people's ideas are not going to succeed. people are going to find creative ways to circumvent whatever restrictions governments put up. but i think we just have to be resolute in saying we are absolutely dedicated to as secretary clinton said to a free, open internet, and communications environment. without restrictions, and we're going to keep pushing for that, and when governments push back, we're going to be there to say, this is counter to the american values and american foreign policy. >> so there's definitely going to be a consistency to your message and a constancy to your message? >> if we're not consistent we're not going to succeed. yes. >> okay. mr. witsner, you mentioned the gni in your testimony. given your unique perspective of the diversity of all the companies that make up the ind

long and hard about that. at the end of very long conversations about that, which started when he said, "i want to use this vowtead of that one." let priest gives you a menu. it's not like he took something out. we chose one that didn't have that in there. you know, obviously now that this has happened, you know, you look back and you feel like you're a fool. but at the time, i took it as very honest and open. i know a lot of other people who in their 20s, you know, at that time, were already cheating on girlfriends and things and they get married and don't have an honest discussion like that. it's pretty likely they're going to continue to chinatown because that's a part of who they are. mark wasn't like that. he was kind of a clumsy, innocent, you know, guy with women. and frugal and he hardly knew how to kiss a girl. i had my own vows. you have to make that leap of faith, and that's where the commitment part comes in. you have to work at it to overcome those doubts and create a lasting relationship. but the last thing i really had a doubt about-- my doubts with respect to mark were about different things. t

long distances. using a conventional wheelchair is impossible. what is required is something thatg distances on rough terrain efficiently just using your arms. you have two levers you propel yourself with. to go through mud and sand, pull high on the levers. as you slide your hand down you can make the chair go faster. you can take it to a rural village. if is there a guy who knows how to fix bicycles, he knows how to fix lfc. we received $50,000 to take this next version to guatemala this summer to make 30 trial chairs. ideally after that year we'll get the feedback from the years. we'll refine the design so it's ready for large-scale production and have a model we can distribute to any workshop and they can make it anywhere in the world. >> wow, that is a fabulous invention. >>> it is crunch time on health care reform. we've been waiting for this vote, many have, for months. we should get it tomorrow. both sides are still chasing votes. we'll look at the latest count. at sharp, our goal is to reproduce every color in the world on tv. introducing quattron quad pixel technology. i

and i want to sell the may 85 call for $1.50 against my long stock position. i want to use that premium to buy a may 75-65 put spread. i'm buying one may 75 put for $4.75 and i'm selling one may 65 put for $1.25. that was a lot. okay? so here's -- let's look at it like this. i sold that call against my long stock. that give me the ability to buy that put. and then that lower strike put that i sold. and i have it on for $2. so my worst case scenario is the stock sits right here and i got that protection, $10 of protection for $2. okay? so here's the thing. right? i got at the money protection, which is the most important thing to me because this stock does move around. now, if nothing happens, i spent two bucks, 2 1/2% of the underlying, and i had protection, i could sleep at night into earnings. >> i want to highlight a really important thing about this. he didn't try to pick strikes just so he could get it to like zero cost, for example. he wanted protection that kicked in right away. he also picked levels where he was comfortable. okay, i'm comfortable long at 65. i'm comforta

against the long-standing precedence of using the same baseline for reconciliation of the budget for which the reconciliation instruction occurred. we are going to use the same, we have used all that long and redoing all of the scoring would do nothing but a stalling tactic you not only have to do the bill, you have to do a baseline on unemployment, gdp growth in and all other things that go into scoring the bill and it is just delaying the tactic reeco one of the problems with delaying tactic is wing we know the bill is going to reduce the deficit not only in the first 10 years but the second 10 years. you may not believe that but that is with cpu told you. the delay only makes things worse. from 2000, to to 2009 the percentage of of businesses that offered insurance decreased to 60%. 1% drop in coverage on average every year for the last nine years. a small businesses have been hit reticular we hard and since 2000 and 2000, 57% of the small businesses offered insurance and now 46%, and again almost a point per year, year after year. from 2004 to 2712 lien americans, about one third tried to purchase insurance from the individual market for either turn down or charged a higher ra

that life is precious. and whatever disagreements there were with those of us who don't share those belief, there was a shared understanding that federal dollars should not be used to take isn't human life. under longing policy, no federal dollars are used to pay for abortion services. this bill represents the largest threat to human life sense the roe v wade supreme court decision. when the house passed either own health care bill this past november, we included the stupak amendment that says no dollars can go to cover this procedure. this continues the current policy under the hyde amendment and this overwhelmingingly passed the house. the motion i've offer dag is a restatement of the stupak amendment, it amendments the senate bill. this is important. the will of this house on this amendment has been clear it would be irresponsible to pass out rec could be sill quags instructions without this important amendment being included. and pot only is it the will of this body but of the american people. polling in ohio and across the nation includes that 70% of americans are owe possessioned to their federal dollars being used to pay to take the life of an unporn child. i've heard they can vote for the s

press conference, but the fact that he has called it indicates that there is potentially some movement. he has told us as we've seen all day longis very close to a deal with the white house and the deal with the white house specifically on writing language for an executive order that president obama would sign affirming that what he wants, his goal here, and that is making sure that no taxpayer dollars will be used for abortion. so we'll see if we're going to try to get more information to just confirm if there is, in fact, a deal. we'll get that back you to. one thing since the last time we've talked about this that we've picked up because we are talking to members of congress as they go back and forth, is that part of the issue is that there are some very staunchly abortion rights democrats. many of the women in the caucus especially. they have been meeting down the hall with nancy pelosi. >> dana, i have to interrupt you. see if you can grab him and ask him to come over. >> reporter: i'm just live and wolf is on with me and wanted to know if you could come over here if you happen to have any information specifically. bart st

long distances. using a conventional wheelchair with push rooms is pretty much impossible. so, what's required is something that you can travel long distances in rough terrain efficiently by just using your arms. the way this works is you have two levers that you propel yourself with so, to go through mud or go through sand, you grab high on the levers and produce a lot of leverage. as you slide your hand down, you create a greater rotational velocityhich makes the chair go fastster. you can take one to a rural village. if i guy knows how to fix bicycles, he knows how to fix these. we recently received $50,000 to take the next version to guatemala starting this summer to make 30 trial chairs which will be tested for a full year so. ideally after that year we'll get the feedback from the users and refine the design so it's ready for large-scale production and have a model we can distribute to any workshop and they can make it anywhere in the world. >>> welcome back to "prime news" on hln. all right, enough is enough, what a family is saying in court, the seaworld trainer killed last month, too close to the whale

that part of the world to be facilitated. so it is very important to us, i think it has a great, long-term meaning for us, and i will clearly endorseit over the long term. my force that's there right now continues to do work in the region insofar as helping build the capacity of those nations in east africa to counter the terror threat as well as to be able to deal with the threat of terror by increasing their capacity. we are providing training ining assistance, equipping, as well as helping bring together them in a regional way as they continue to work together towards addressing that common threat. both activities, both the platform itself, important. the work being done by the combined joint task force in africa, as it institutes its programs fully align pd with the goals and objectives of my command also very, very instrumental in promoting that degree of professionalism in east africa and in other parts of the continent where we see those unique capabilities that could be aapplied. civil apairs in particular. >> general, do you feel, since you're the last command to be up here, that you are fully operative and fully personnel

long in the planning? >> actually we had been out the week previously. the three of us. will didn't come with us thatyou know, it was a long day. you get up real early and get out to sea and me and corey had spoke about it during the week how we'd never do that again. marquis, of course, loving fishing, it was his idea to go back out because he was leaving, you know, the next weekend off to oakland for camp. so we decided, all right, why not? one more time. we'll all hang out. and, you know, we knew the storm was coming, of course, but, you know, it was planned out well. >> larry: you were all fishermen? >> no. absolutely not. marquis, of course, him being, you know, it was his boat. he was an experienced boater and will had done some fishing, too, growing up. >> larry: you went for the fun? >> absolutely. >> larry: all right. where did you set out from? >> outside clear water. >> larry: heading into the atlantic? >> gulf. gulf of mexico. >> larry: oh, the gulf, right. since you knew a storm was coming, why go out? >> you know, we knew, not necessarily a storm, but a cold front. we were -- it was kin

that produces real results for the people of haiti. so let us say here with one voice, we will pass this test for us. to that end, the united states pledges $1.15 billion for haiti's long-term recovery and reconstruction. this money will go towards supporting the government of haiti's plan to strengthen agriculture, energy, health, security, and governance. we are committed to working with the people and organizations throughout haiti, including civil society groups, private businesses, ngo's, and citizens. and i'm very glad to see so many of them represented here today. we will also be looking for ways to engage our haitian diaspora. haitians have much to contribute and we will seek to specifically empower the women of haiti. i've said this so many times and i know i sound like a broken record. but investing in women is the best investment we can make in any country. and investing in the haitian women will fuel the long-term economic recovery and progress, not only for them, but for their families. over the years, all of our countries have learned many lessons. particularly from the tsunami that the united nations was instrumental in leading the response to. now, we m

is not a single lightning strike or a single silver bullet that is going to make it better instantly. we pay all day long a hidden tax all of usho have good insurance and are blessed by that by having to cover everybody who is uninsured and everybody who is poorly insured who is -- or who is insured by an insurer who is going to say you know what, laura, when you come to the emergency room and get your procedure we will fight you until you either give up or pay it out of your pocket or you get a lawyer. >> well, somebody always has to pay. someone has to pay now. >> laura, can i say one thing. if what america wants is socialized medicine. >> say that. this is socialized medicine. >> it is on the path. >> if what we want is to have the balance where we still have private doctors and private practitioners with offices this is not the bill that is going to provide that. >> we have vulcanized medicine. we have lyle fifedoms that control your office and your decisions and my medical room and my facility. the insurance company will tell us what to do every time on every patient. >> we are out of time. i would rather have that and th

us harm. last december after eight long years with no strategy in afghanistan, president obama recommitted our nation to defeating al qaeda and reminded us that the success of this mission requires us to work with our international allies and afghan partners and we are. the president also announced that our military commander in afghanistan, general stanley mcchrystal, the best we have in this time of conflict, would receive an additional 30,000 troops to implement this counterinsurgency strategy. these additional combat troops, combined with those already in theater, would allow our troops and civilian experts to partner with their afghan counterparts, reverse the momentum of the taliban and create conditions needed for governance and the economic development. even if a fraction of these in place, we've already seen success. they launched an operation to push the taliban out of marja, a town of about 50,000 people that became a new hub of activity for the taliban and insurgence after our marines drove them out nearby. we successfully pushed the taliban out there and ban to re-establish the government there, the second phase of the operation.

say this is the time that's going to put us over the edge is like saying an alcoholic's latest sip of whiskey is the one that's going to do it. both parties have been doing it a long time. >> victoria, we've never had it done in such a massive scale with only one party voting for it. >> exactly. when you look back at history, things of this -- laws of this nature, this -- let's look at medicare and medicaid. when that went through in 1965 after 500 amendments, it had bipartisan support. that should be the case here, too. the democrats are going against what the majority of americans are telling us they want, which is not this health care plan. >> rich, what do you think on this reconciliation thing? >> well, first of all, i hate this health care plan, but second, i want to see it fail even though they try to use reconciliation because that's going to make their failure even worse. it's going to mean the end of speaker pelosi, it's going to mean huge sweeps of the republicans this fall. so let them try it. they're going to try it anyway. let them try it and fail and then we can finally get back to some sanity in this country. >> mike oz, this is sort of the poison

that the senate foreign relations committee is one hour 15 minutes. >> this hearing will come to order thank you for joining us this morning i have long argued that america'security interest are well served by engaging with syria and to that end i made a number of journeys there over the course the last four or five years in efforts to explore the possibilities of the administration's decision to send that ambassador to damascus marks the important step forward in that process. i am pleased to see the administration has nominated a strong candidate to take on this assignment after 21 years in foreign service robert ford served as ambassador to algeria 2006 through 2008 and since then has served with distinction as the deputy chief and iraq. his success of the "new york post" will be vital from iran and iraq to lebanon and the arab-israeli peace process just about every major american security interest in the middle east has a serious dimension. we clearly have serious issues with syria to be resolved all the flow of fighters into iraq has diminished, more remains to be done to shut down the pipeline. large numbers of dead the weapons continue to transit ac

is also clear that the long-term care program that started in this bill that they take the premiums that are supposed to be saved for benefits down the road, they will useose premiums to pay for the new health care entitlement program and then they will take $70 billion worth of social security increases and not use it for social security but to pay for the new entitlement program and if that isn't enough, they take the $67 billion in savings from the government takeover of the student loan industry, all 49 states except one and use that saving from the student loan program to offset the cost of this program, there is not one american who thinks they are going to save money with this because they know we will spend a trillion dollars in the first ten years to provide benefits for just six of those ten while the tax increases come in the over the ten year period. the american people do not want any part of this and if anyone thinks they

of this issue and i would like you to diagnose the divergence that explained whether it is more your emphasis on the long-term effects of usingorture or is it that the interrogators lineup on both sides of this debate have had different experiences and feel differently about whether it works in the short-term as well? >> i am rachel and i want to ask if you had any thoughts about the lessons of your own experience in this arena which is trying to detect and deter people in the process of radicalization within all countries. jihad jane was on the front page of the washington post this morning and i am doing work in western europe where we are looking at ethnic profiling and the role of a focus on religious practice. and efforts to detect persons in the process of radicalization and we have been critical of what we see as an excessive and stereotypical focus on religion in looking at behavioral patterns and when people are brought in for questioning, they are often asked a great deal about their religious practices. it was suggested to us by an intelligence officer that the police should simply be barred from asking about relig

that use this put a 700 million transactions went across the platform this year. it is now going into texas, mexico, and elsewhere. that is absolutely critical long-term. eople like us step up to that and work together. we eliminate as much nonsense as possible. it has been a combination of things. working together, thinking differently, trying to use data, seeking out permanent behavior change. all of those things, i believe have the opportunity to begin to turn this thing around. in the meantime, we will fight to fight a ground the political system and how we provide financial protection. i will finish by talking for a second on this concept of wellness. it has been for the employers, you have an ambivalent attitude toward what does. is it worth it? does it pay back? this wellness' alliance is going to spend a lot of time basically targeting that question. there are a number of believers among us. i am one of them. investing in our people does work if it is done smartly. i think these returns will be enough to save on a pure business perspective. i will help my people down this path. there is big upside and have great companies we are working with. i

they remind us that an exercise in judgment, not deciding disputes with litigants, but the long view that will sustain future generations. judges with the special privileges of life tenure, we must have faith in the enduring principles and not what is currently popular or politically expedient. to reinforce the reminder, gilbert installed on the west wall directly facing us the allegorical battle between good and evil, with justices went by wisdom standing between combatants. that reminds us that we cannot take the freedoms that we enjoy as americans for granted. the secure freedoms only because we're vigilant in maintaining the framers vision of a nation founded under the rule we are now in the process of completing a renovation of the supreme court building which will preserve its timeless design while updating its electrical and mechanical systems. we expect to completed by the time the court convenes in october 2010. i am happy to report that we're following past president and expect to meet the project under budget. it is a magnificent building that we are privileged to occupy.

so if that's the only measure, being married a long time, i guess many of us will fail at that measure. the other great measurement for a man is who are you as a father? i've had to -- i've had the fortune of meeting two of david's children. i never got to meet sarah. all of his four children were with accomplished and success. i don't just meet business and financially success, but all of them are incredible people. and very successful, accomplished, you'd be delighted to meet any one of them. if those are your four kids, you'd be proud to say these are my four kids. if that's the measure, then that's a great accomplishment. and i think it's what david has been able to do, when i talked about, that when i relate to working with him and allowing someone to reach their potential end -- and be all that you can be. many of you don't know david, david is humble. he'll probably say they are all great kids because of the mother. i'm sure she's a great mother, there's no way you raise four kids and have them be so accomplished and the father can take credit. you have to do the discipline and

and i think that gets us in place to live up to the premises that david outlined for us, which is really preparing for the long haul, both with realism and also with confidence. thank you. [applause] >> i've got questions for each of you. i was going to go in order, but i'm just so -- energy is so interesting. dan, just going to ask you something. is there anything going on innovatively in this country? is there anything to be excited about? isn't anything new on the horizon? what the next cool app? >> there's a lot. i'm on the advisory board, energy advisory board at mit, and five years ago they didn't have an energy club. now they have 1200 students belong to the energy. but i say if he said was the biggest innovation in energy said to be at the city, some of you will know the answer. it may surprise some of you. it's natural gas. which is really literally breaking a code by breaking the rock in terms of shale rock. suddenly as a country where they much, much more abundant domestic resource, lower carbon than other fossil fuels, and love it. but a lot of questions about how does this change our energy dialog

to colton's apartment and certainly she would have been safe from colton for a long time had she done that. i guess, to usey word, i would say you have to have a good case of evil. >> reporter: a good case of evil. at trial, this time with no cameras allowed, prosecutor bill bishop outlines laura's ever changing account of events. >> she gave a series of statements to the police. she had previously made a statement that she had no idea what had happened, she'd never seen the body. her statement then became she'd seen the body but didn't know what had happened. >> here's the deal, man. i was scared of colton. >> and it eventually grew into, "i was a victim, i was kidnapped, i had nothing to do with it." >> reporter: prosecutors produced witnesses who claim laura told them about her involvement in the mutilation, and bishop says laura's d.n.a. was found on a key piece of evidence. >> her d.n.a. was on the gun, the murder weapon itself, that was found in colton's car. >> reporter: bishop does not accuse laura of murdering jennifer cave, but the autopsy showed jennifer was shot through the head after death. in

that a very important thing to remember is that the united states supreme court told us that we had to follow the longg the clean air act i acknowledged that we had to do that. the other thing is when the things that has happened as a result of public comments, especially from the states who would have to implement the clean air act and those who want to implement this act, about how administratively they would do this, how much time they need, and how to avoid an adverse result. all these things are reflected in the information i gave yesterday. >> so i take it as a guest he will go after small emitter's. >> we will use -- >> so it is still 8 yes? -- a yes? we have heard from the chairman about how you used noa and nasa address climate change. i want to know if you are aware of the report called "surface temperature records, a policy driven recess -- deception." that rescue the global temperature trends by ignoring greetings of the thousands of local weather stations around the world in colder altitudes and more northerly latitudes such as canada. it alleges that no systema matter if we eliminated a

before but i would like you to tell me where i'm wrong on this read the intelligence tells us that iran would have long-range missile capability somewhere between 2015 and 2023 donner would say 2015 s as serious as that is. the s m 31b which is short medium-range the would-be 2015 but it doesn't matter. that doesn't have the capability nor does the 28 in which would get into the intermediate and that is supposed to be somewhere around to 18. now the esen 3-cd tooby which is to be comparable what we had, i think this is the case if we had kept the ground base system interceptor in poland there is still no date on that and so i would say of course i objected to that first budget just for terminating the programs such as the f-22 c-17 future system but the thing i felt most objective when he pulled the rug out from under poland and czech republic and i was with them on this last friday. i guess what i'm saying is that capability is there and we don't have any way of deterring that other than my understand the argument that we have the ground-based system in alaska and california, i don't have the coverage

was merely a temporary setback, that we have suffered no long-term blow, but no one else would be fooled. it would be proof to every group that wishes to attack and destroy us that we can be fought and we can be beaten, that eventually america will just give up regardless of the consequences. we should support our troops. by supporting their efforts to disrupt and dismantle and defeat al qaeda and the taliban. as many of you know, my daughter-in-law, lindsey, served in iraq and afghanistan. i also have two committee staffers, one in the army reserves and one in the marine reserves who are on their way now to afghanistan. this is not their first time in battle. both of these gentlemen have served bravely in iraq, but the prospect of entering combat never becomes routine. they, like my stepson, douglas, who served as a marine fighter pilot in iraq, have recounted to me how the debates in congress, to mandate a withdrawal from iraq, demoralizes u.s. troops. the request of my staffers to me as they embark on their mission to afghanistan is to provide them with all of the tools and all of the support that they need to defeat the enemy and to win. they ask that w

that stuff can be remembered for a long, longtime. >> mike: carl, thank you very much. keep us posted on what is happening. what makes this bill so controversial? how are the changes different from previous versions that did not go through? joining us from washington to break it down, bob cusack, managing editor of the hill. welcome. let me start with this question, what is this bill, maybe primarily about that democrats really like? give me three things depend s love about in bill. >> reporter: governor democrats say this would extend health insurance coverage to millions of americans, more than 30 million. so if you lose your job, you wouldn't lose health care. they say health care costs would come down if this bill is passed and it would make health care a right instead of a privilege. they are also making the case this will reduce the deficit over the next 10 years, republicans take issue with that claim. >> mike: what the three things republicans say this bill is gonna do that will ruin america? you hear that as well. >> reporter: that's what john boehner said today it wou

only do they make sure we take the product that they want us to take and not necessarily what consumers want or want to pay for, but also how we carry it. for a longts allowed us to tier the services appropriately so that when i got customer complaints i have a direct e-mail and a direct 800 number for customers to call me directly and they will say why do i have to pay for this sports programming? why is my bill continuing to go up? i can't tier that. because i'm not allowed to. i would love to be able to offer services in a way if we have sports fanatics they can buy it and pay extra. but that is not how the program agreements are currently structured. >> i have one more question to ask mr. roberts about customer service. when i think of vertical integration, and i think this whole area we have -- we have some barriers to entry here and we have challenges even for the consumers in switching from one competitor to another. it isn't as easy as people might think to just do that and if aware only talking about two or three or we will continue to see integration, to me customer service is very important. and when you think about the amount of money
