, should we get rid of it if vicky turns out to be right?is no better way to identify a bad loss than fully enforce it. if it shows up crazy, then you know it. right now, it's on the books and some follow it and some don't. people who respect the law follow it and they're punished. he has changes to make in the law, those should be enforced. find them and change them. >> david: go ahead. >> we have whistle blower laws for all sort of industries on the books anyway. this is one that's been out there for some time. that really hasn't been very well, you know, enforced. even the d.a.o. did a study where they take all the phone calls in the labor department with complaints and half weren't reported so the lay bar department is deluged with the problem and doesn't have staff to enforce it. >> david: not a question of the new laws but question of better enforcing. >> better enforcement. >> david: all right. that has to be the last word. congress is about to do something that will have all americans celebrating. yes, celebrating this april 15 tax d

"new york times" financial reporter as well as vicky ward, "vanity fair" and cnbc contributor. thank you both. >> thank you. >> absolutely. >>> you are looking at brand new video we're just getting in. it was taken the moment a van got flipped by saturday's massive tornado in mississippi. members of the band burning windsor did not realize they were driving right into the path of that tornado. the big trouble started what he tree slammed into a trailer that was driving in front of their jeep. >> their trailer actually is probably what saved our lives because it stopped most of the debris from hitting us directly. after that all i can remember is we flipped. >> all our stuff was in cases and it just pulled them out of the cases and threw it everywhe everywhere. it was just crazy. >> the tornado tossed the jeep 30 yards. save for cuts and bruises everyone is okay. meanwhile, fema officials are serving the damage in the hardest hit counties in mississippi and we'll be joined later by jim cantore from the weather channel to talk about all of these tornadoes we've already seen this

call 1-877-tell-hln, and family law attorney vicki joins us as well as rob. >> well, this woman from tennessee adopted this child and brought him back to the united states, but sometime after that, as the child was learning english they say that they found out about this child's abused background, and that the child was acting out, doing things like wetting his pants a lot, which is of course not a crime. but, doing things like starting fires, and, in fact, that was the final straw they said that earlier this week he gathered some papers and started a fire in his bedroom. they say they have video evidence of this. i might add to this that something that we just heard from moscow, a children's ministry official in moscow says that the boy has told them that the family in tennessee was abusing him, pulling his hair and shouting at him a lot. >> so maybe, two sides of the story there. we have a call of eileen in texas. what do you think? >> caller: well, my brother has seven kids adopted from russia and my sister two, and i'm just shocked, because any child that is adopted and put into

vicky, the feeding america ceo says the people are traveling farther and waiting longer to receive their services. unfortunately, more than half of their food banks have had to turn people away because they were low on supplies. >> we've never had so many. >> there are many ways to address this problem. the budget for the federal food stamp program was $37.7 billion in '08. up by 13% from '07. billions of dollars were added from the 2009 economic stimulus package. but even this is not enough. it'll take more money and newer ideas to really take a hit on hunger in america. states should give grants to private food banks to reach more people with this movement. however, common solutions are not the only ones. the great way to get lots of food for cheap prices is to join a community garden. which is where a community of people garden crops like lettuce. the crops are given to the members every week. if states were to give grants for garden, cheap produce would become easily accessible. food networks, or food ops buy food in bulk and share. like share in florida. if they were to encourage an

but vicky disagrees. she says a parent has every right to monitor their child's internet use. it's called being a good parent. we want to hear what you have to say about this. do parents have a right to monitor their kids' activities online like this or did this mom go too far by altering her son's facebook account? e-mail us by longing on to cnn.com/hln and you can see your views on the air. >>> a family has sent their adopted russian son back to that country alone is now talking to cnn. in a phone call to cnn his adoptive grandmother says the russian orphanage where they adopted him seven months ago misled them about his mental stability and other issues as well. on thursday the family put him on a plane back to russia and said he's violent and meanted alley unstable. the move outraged many russians and u.s. officials are now investigating. >>> a 17-year-old boy is dead and several other people wounded in what police describe as a shootout in a crowded shopping mall here. police in muss cooingy, oklahoma, say it is not clear if the teen was involved in the shootoutsy or was

. >> regarding the grants in the school district, vicki phyllis, the foundation's education director, said it's all about the importance of teachers. it is the seven year experiment to keep the best teachers possible in the classroom. mary ellen said our ultimate goal is to dramatically increase student achievement, raise or attrition rates and inshore college and career readiness. the way to do this is to ensure that our teachers are adept, in spite of and have the support they need. local administrators i spoke with feel that better teaching of the teachers is the key to success. >> one of the first things we do is a lot of professional development for the teachers, that means that we have teachers taking training sometimes a weekend, sometimes after school, and sometimes even during the school day where we provide a substitute so the teacher can go out and get their training. >> another administrator spoke of the cooperative learning strategy the train the teachers to use. >> dr. kagan, we use it as one of our many strategies. he said the problem is the replacement cycle. they get

vicky's -- the case shows that these acts of conscience collective and individual by people could change the course of history to get out at the time toward the beginning of this century with such a snide cynicism with the idea of international law toward the 88 of united nations a steering but it was hopeless with the idea of the international human rights alongside the governmental organization that it made the difference against all the great powers of the world that frankly would not have done anything about that without the pressure. >> thank you. one n. -- one more question before return over to the audience the process of reading the book the process of writing the challenges with the challenges of writing a book? >> >> i have done a lot of time it took three years and other books they took a lot longer. what i basically did was to find zero various organizations surprising american members who had worked in the airlift with the british and spend several months in germany talking to people one way or another. in situations like that, the story i wanted to tell was the one i saw am

vicki denise, it's enough for us to help. he wanted that. he told me that. that's what we can do. i'm sorry, guys, we've been through all the accolades. but i want to do one other thing. you told us what he thought but -- what you thought about him, reverend mason, reverend flowers, all of you, dr. gray. ms. dukes, russell, beverly, pitt, let me tell you he loved you guys. [applause] >> he talked about you guys. in closing, i want to talk about the experience of how i feel that we as a family, us as a unit should remember a scripture. do not let your heart be troubled. believe in god and believe also in me. in our father's house a many dwelling places. if it was not so i would have told you. because i go to prepare a place for you. if anything and prepare a place for you, i will come again and receive you to myself. that where i am, there you may be also. let me tell you, francis, guys, ben didn't leave us. he didn't leave us. he didn't leave you, honey. he just went ahead of you. if you believe -- now i believe it has to be some kind of hierarchy of angels in heaven. and i believ

now vickie kennedy has not ruled out running against scott brown, correct? >> she has not.lled. he felt it was the right thing to do, but she is considering in two years. so that will be very interesting. >> that was a great piece. >> thank you. >> impressive politician. >> the truck is a 2005, thanks to someone very nice. >> mine's older. >> pat, impressive. >> very smart guy. he's got to go independent. he can't go party line conservative republican and expect to survive in massachusetts. he clearly is looking at his seat in 2012. and if he's looking at the presidency, it's far down the road. >> right. look, he's the first to say he has a lot to learn. but what surprised me is, he says things in interviews you just wouldn't hear a u.s. senator saying. whether it's endorsing someone this early, people would just say the politic thing. or saying that he felt like throwing up. you know, they just don't talk like that. so it's refreshing. >> uh-huh. >> does he have the game to play with president obama, reggie love, craig. >> we will see. we will see. >> certainly sounds like

i can't remember the first session or meeting or event my late beloved wife of 50 years vicky and i took jenny to. i'm not sure she remembers. but i can remember her at our house in berkeley. on the stairway as we had meetings. and she was 2 or 3 years old. and she would just stay there listening intently. and so she's here today. and i hope jenny, you won't be bored. you're still looking at your dad and he's still looking at you. i decided to focus my remarks essentially on the matters before our committee. i thought that might be appropriate. if you would like to ask any question unrelated to ways and means, i will turn my cell phone on and text message my brother. [laughter] >> so i have it here. especially if it relates to arms services matters. and others. he's investigating beyond arm services today as you know. you know, as i sat down to write my remarks, i thought what were the events of the 27 years that i've been in the congress. and my colleague is here. we served together. butler, we served together. and i remembered -- i came in the early '80s, the recession. the end of sovi

congratligses to steve and vick -- congratulations to steve and vicki and their next great pursuit. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas. >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. smith: american workers have just won a great and historic victory. employees of mohawk industries will share the $18 million that the company agreed to pay to settle a lawsuit accusing it of hiring illegal immigrants in order to hold down wages. the settlement comes on the heels of the obama administration's decision to largely abandon enforcement of our immigration laws at america's workplaces. this legal victory gives a valuable tool to other workers who suffer at the hands of employers who want to keep wages low by hiring illegal immigrants. if the obama administration won't act to protect american workers, american workers now have the power to protect themselves by filing lawsuits against employers who hire cheap and illegal labor. mr. speaker, if employers continue to

vicki says if my kids see me resolve conflict was aggression and spapging, then they hit each other. how do i teach them hands to themselves then put my hands on them? just because i am bigger and a stronger person, that does not give me the right to inflict pain upon a little one. children should listen out of respect, not fear, and parents earn respect by respecting their children, and hitting is not one of them. so people are firmly entrenched in one camp or another. and they make really good cases actually on both sides. will is calling from florida, and will has tried both tactics as a parent. he's tried the time-out, he's tried the spanking. okay, will, which did you find worked better for you? >> i found the spanking was not that effective. putting a kid in a room, the child has control of that. every five or ten minutes, i have to go to the bathroom. what i found if they did something wrong, i put them in the bathroom, they would have a drink of water, if they need to go to the bathroom, it's there. they said, dad, that's the worst thing you ever did. it's like being in jail,
