david webster. webster: i think power is the ability of leaders to coerce people into doing things they don't want to do. you get power like that generally in one of two ways -- by having some kind of force or threat of force behind your demands, like a military force. or you get power by having something -- land, water, some scarce resource that other people need, and you manipulate them that way. i don't think maya kings were powerful in either sense. keach: the kings ruled not so much through power but through their authority to settle disputes, spearhead the common defense and control some land. they also gained enormous prestige by redistributing precious goods and by leading religious rituals. but the authority of the king suffered a critical blow in a.d. 738 when 18 rabbit was captured and beheaded by the ruler of a rival city. adjoining 18 rabbit's palace was a smaller structure, the only known building erected by his successor, king smoke monkey. some archaeologists think it was a council h

webster: mr. speaker, by the direction of the committee on rules i call up house resolution 600 and ask for its immediate consideration. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 600. resolved, that upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to consider in the house the bill h.r. 4281, to provide an extension of federal aid highway, highway safety, motor carrier safety, transit, and other programs funded out of the highway trust fund pending enactment of a multiyear law reauthorizing such programs. all points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. the bill shall be considered as read. all points of order against provisions in the bill are waived. the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and any amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one, one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on transportation and

webster has served as director of the fbi and as a u.s. district court judge.understands the meaning of rule of law. so that his knowledge of national security matters can be available to me on a continuing basis, we will also appoint john tower to serve as a member of my foreign intelligence advisory board. i am considering other changes in personnel and i'll move more furniture as i see fit in the weeks and months ahead. second, in the area of national security policy, i ordered the nsc to begin a comprehensive review of all covert operations. i also directed any covert activity be in support of clear policy objectives and in compliance with american values. i expect a covert policy that if americans saw it on the front page of their newspaper, they'd say that makes sense. i had issued a directive prohibiting nsc staff itself from undertaking covert operations, no ifs, ands, or buts. i asked them to review our terrorist policy in light of the events that occurred. third, in terms of the process of reaching national security decisions, i am adopting in total t

. >> it was webster. >> we are talking about webster. it was poor man's "growing pains" and it was a delight. >> it really was. webster is now in his 50s. >> and he has shrinking. >> he runs an auto business, i believe. he sells match boxcars. this would have been fine, but it was only a thousand bucks, if the money went to charity. i want you to knockout bill schulz, but the money will go to like starving kids. no one would have complained. >> then they would have knocked me out and the money would have went to me. >> it would have been cooler if they had the athletes punish the players of other sports like okay we will give uh thousand dollars if you go to a professional soccer game and beat up a player. that everybody could have gotten behind. i will just stand like this. nobody is agreeing. >>> coming um, can you trademark the word adorable? i will sue you if you use that word in any context besides describing me. first, should we vote for the president on-line? it is questions like these that make me wonder why we bother doing stori

webster. mr. webster: thank you, madam speaker. i'd like to inquire if the gentleman from florida has more speakers? i'm prepared to close. mr. hastings: i appreciate my colleague for asking. i was hoping that mr. bishop from new york would be here but in light of the fact that he is not, i'm prepared to close. mr. webster: i reserve my time. mr. hastings: i yield myself such time as he may consume. if mr. bishop does arrive, perhaps i would use some time to yield to him. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. hastings: we know this legislation is never going to pass the senate. so this exercise remains just that, an exercise. republicans claim to be in favor of reducing the size of government. but this bill will require the f.c.c. to hire 20 additional staff at a cost of $26 million over five years, just to handle all the additional work created. rather than focus on stimulating the economy, funding infrastructure investments and improving our democracy, my friends on the other side insist on devoting time and energy in a

taylor skips over traditional wigs such as clay or webster and ignores clay's american system policy agenda. taylor hoped to build some kind of new political movement. some sort of new party, sometimes he called it the republican party. to be distinguished from the republican party that's later formed a couple years later here. thus, most of taylor's cabinets are actually enemies of what people call ultra wigery. the way he doled out federal patronage concerned old wig regulars, a lot. remember that's one of the key things presidents do. a little bit less today, definitely true in the mid-19th century, one of their most important jobs was to pay off people to pay off supporters within the party, complaints from party regulars poured into the white house as taylor's first year in office went by. so you've got conflict between taylor and his party, you've got a kind of power vacuum at the top -- oh, another aspect of the power vacuum is as i said taylor is not inaugurated till march of '49. congress doesn't actually go into session until december of '49 so, again, you've got basically

someone who is less than a die hard wig, you know, in the clay or webster mold. taylor had often portrayed himself not as a wig candidate but as a no party candidate, as someone who's kind of above party, and he incorrectly assumed that a broad coalition had made him president and that he owed little to the wigs per se. political historians know that's nonsense, that in fact it was the wig party machine that got him elected, but that was his perception. and the way that zachary tailor would attempt to deal with the mexican session, remember the mexican session? that's that territory seeded by mexico to the united states as a result of the american victory in the war with mexico, his approach to the mexican session would reflect this no party approach, this no party idea of his. the election, after all, had not really provided a solution to the problem of slavery in the territory. and no immediate solution was in sight. remember, you've got a long gap here between taylor being elected in november of 1848 and something actually happening in washington. well, first

international analysis on the russian presidential election we're now joined live by historian of webster tarpley from washington d.c. mr tarpley thank you for being with us are showing now this has been russia's most transparent election so far do you think that the west will share this view once official results have been announced. well unfortunately the. washington i think with. this is. the perspective we now have is taking some steps. which is such a failure in. some kind of counterweight check the. policies of the. russian people. a tremendous international. it is a historic occasion i would compare it to. forty or. fifty eight. is in my judgment at most a political leader with an immense political capital. happened in the intervening years. the israeli prime minister here trying. to convince the american. middle east war and i think this is the moment. that political capital. invested. some kind of a diplomatic solution to this we've also got a world economic depression going on so it seems to me that president-elect putin to think a little bit bigger than what we just heard. that

archaeologist david webster. webster: suppose i came into this stadium a week, or even a century, after all the people left. how would i figure out what happened here ? what this arena was used for ? this is the dilemma facing archaeologists. symbols are of fundamental importance in understanding any human culture because they're so laden with meaning. but they're not very durable, and even if we find them, often we can't decode them. in this case, though, i'm in luck because of this -- writing. writing is a set of graphic symbols that is directly or indirectly related to language. keach: we use writing to convey very specific information, from introducing team members to explaining the referee's hand signals. this detailed guide brings the stadium to life. but archaeology is never this simple. archaeologists rarely find program notes to ancient societies. if writing exists in a society, it usually serves very specific purposes. and like any other kind of symbolic system, it has to be decoded and deciphered. in f

looks like congressman daniel webster is going fishing too. back in 2010 at a tea party rally, webster criticized washington's ways. >> america is not broken. washington is. >> then there's congressman jim renacci manning the golf cart. donors got time on the links as part of the deal. some congressmen brought their pouss and special interests got to share lively dinner conversation at a restaurant with gourmet delights, such as braced baby octopus. there's gardner and canseco again and congressman back us. he was the subject in an ethics investigation. he denies the allegations. >> later canseco was mingling over drinks. then congressman sessions joins the conversation. an individual can legally give up to $46,200 to this joint fundraiser. the money split among the freshmen. it's perfectly legal for members of congress to o have a get away at a florida resort. the question is, why do lobbyists pay thousands of dollars to be here with them? what are the lobbyists getting in return? none of the congress members agreed to an interview. they refe

webster is not in the zone at 672. o'connell in the zone, 594. jordan, which unfortunately falls out of the zone -- i guess those students are not part of the data. somehow, they are less human and less eligible for the special consideration of the superintendent's zone. president yee: thank you for your testimony is. board members? any questions or comments? ok. commissioner? >> thank you for the public testimony. ok, so this is a hard issue. the issue of skipping is a hard issue to address, and it is a very hard issue to stomach. i recognize that labour in this country sets the standard for a living wage and working conditions. nobody needs to tell me that. i know that because i belong to a union, local 2, my husband, 35 years, san francisco policemen, part of the police officers association, and my daughter is a labor organizer. so i know the power of seniority. but it is -- it is a hard decision for me to make, too. i think it is hard for anyone to appear to make this decision. personally, i resent that every year i have had to make this vote

patrick gray, clarence kelly, james adams, that was a short one, and william webster, a long one, nine years, john otto. william sessions for seven years, lloyd clark interim, lewis freeh, 7 3/4 years. thomas picard three months and robert mueller 10 1/2 years. who on that list would you put at the top of the list for being the most honest and who would be at the bottom? >> well, unquestionably bob mueller who has run the bureau for last decade. and will run it for another fo' years, at once most successful, most powerful, and the most civil liberties minded i would say f.b.i. director in the history of the f.b.i. which goes back 103 years. every day bob mueller, who took office, god help him, on september 4, 2001, a week before this city and new york city were attacked. every day he has to calibrate a very difficult calculus. it's like a tug-of-war. on the one hand, national security. on the other hand, civil liberties. they got to get this right. in america, under the constitution, if we want security and liberty, we want to be both safe and free. but these are opposing forces. and t

to this project, so in terms of schools, we have had some interactions with one school and daniel webster. we have not dug deep there. the project that emily is working on that i will mention able but later i think will start to get at the schools and those kids who are attending those schools a lot more directly. so i was saying that the focus groups were really a great process, and i think everybody who participated in them came away feeling really jazzed on in level and really hopeful. we did a couple of other things. we held a few other workshops, because we knew a lot of people did not understand the land use process in san francisco. we had a workshop with our land use attorney and walked through the entitlement process step by step, with all of the points where folks would have a chance to provide input into the project and to express their views and their concerns. we also took people on tours, so it is a different ball of wax in terms of financing, but it was former public housing, and is now available for tax-credit eligible residents, also, and we wanted to get people to the be

they mistakenly webster the website and this brought enormous attention to this catastrophe in a way that cuts through the media chatter it's everyone widely seen sees this as really a remarkable example of i guess what some would call culture jamming as well as unique form journalism but now the yes men have come up recently because according to the latest wiki leaks dump the yes men were monitored by strat for a. company but you could say it's an impersonating a global intelligence company they seem to be like a shadow cia so tell us about the fines why you were mentioned in strat for stratfor seems to be a really creepy entity there's a lot of really shadowy stuff that came out in the wiki leaks dump you know e-mails with the c o n structure and operatives to control their subjects sexually psychologically and financially in order to extract information i don't know if that's what journalists usually do they claim to be a journalist and a media company but they they have these incredibly shadowy practices there's also what seems to be a really flagrant nasty example of inside insi

party chair there charlie webster comes out and announces mitt romney as the winner of the maine caucus by a hundred ninety four votes before two entire counties have even held their caucuses yet so i mean this was a you know they were blatantly robbed in that case and we've seen other cases that are similar to it but i would caution the ron paul folks while it's important to do everything you can to oversee your election to be as transparent as possible to not yell fraud every time you lose an election unless you have the evidence to prove it and now we're seeing more and more there is evidence to prove where these people have simply been robbed as they were in st charles missouri as they were in clay county i'm sorry clark county georgia in athens georgia. so you know rather than turn the other way and say oh it's those crazy ron paul people i think the media. do well to pay attention to what it is they're complaining about and what it is but they are trying to oversee with our own democracy so for the hearts of her. it is obvious that there is some kind of an effort to l e n a or it'

lockheed martin one of that next i want to respond with your other watched our interview with stephen webster on the n.s.a. chiefs denial of domestic spying to congress they've kroeger comments on facebook i always feel so much more secure when congress is grilling corporations and government agency heads about how they're violating individual privacy rights congress is of course the same as a touche in that regularly approves legislation that places all over the constitution so yeah i share your discomfort their congress is after all the body that has come together an unprecedented shows of bipartisanship. the patriot act and renew it over and over again also the body there through the fai's amendments and then renewed about when to do so no it's not very reassuring that congress is supposed to be a watchdog for our privacy but i'll still take a member of congress grilling the head of the n.s.a. over one not doing it it's hard to remember to take it with a grain of salt and not to be fooled and then finally we have to share the creation of three enterprising argy fans. at the alone a show lo

ability to do that within the united states why do we believe well joining me to discuss if even webster senior editor of raw story thanks so much for joining us tonight steve and i guess before we talk about this hearing necessarily it was said let's go back to the original story in the bamford row and you know what was your biggest takeaway some of the things that you found i guess most troubling about what they're planning on doing with this just gigantic massive n.s.a. complex that they're building well obviously to me what's most troubling is that we have to rely on whistleblowers insiders speaking to intelligence reporters who spend their own careers covering this agency in order to find out what our government is doing in numerous lawsuits or yours on privacy and civil rights advocates have really turned out not much because the government is consistent even to clinton state secrets as you since this battle secrecy is disturbing to me and lots of others so in that sense when we see general alexander testifying before congress i mean he is testifying and he's saying that no we don'

if you look up the word inexorable in websters you will see romney in illinois smiling. >> if mitt romney secures the nomination is there a deal to be made for santorum. here is what brit hume thinks? >> what he has to think of is whether it is worth going on this way and whether it's worth it to try to initiate some kind of conversation with romney. he might be a potential vice presidential option more than gingrich. he is more conservative. he would tend to unite the party perhaps. he's someone romney would have to think about. >> newt gingrich you heard placed 4th last night. could he be dropping out of the race any time soon? brit hume does not think so? >> newt gingrich is a guy with a lot of energy and a lot of things to say. he likes to say them. if he stays in the race he has more of a platform. we don't hear from those who are out do we? >> twoef wait and see. gop candidates a must womin for santorum in saturday's primary. >> keep too right here in fox news we will have all of the latest on the election. >>> and it's time now for your 5 at 5. we begin with a developing story. a t

webster's defines civil war as a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country.ding to reports from syria, opposition fighters killed at least 22 syrian troops in separate ambush attacks. so you have syrian troops on one side. they are citizens of syria. you have other citizens of syria who are not troops the two are fighting. and we want to make an argument that is not a several war? jonathan hunt is here with the news. president obama insisted the opposition is gaining strength but we see the opposition pulling back and they have relinquished control of homes and pulled out of other cities. >>jonathan: another argument against the president's argument is that today two leading members of the opposition syrian national council are reported to have resigned saying the opposition movement is in disarray and run in the same way that president assad runs the country. however in that rose garden white house press conference the president insisted it is just a matter of time. >> the opposition is growing stronger, i will say that again, assad will lean. not a question

sandy webster is the red cross coordinator in southern illinois. appreciate your taking the time and given what we have just heard an seen with the hospital there, do you have the ability to take care of people that need help? >> absolutely. we geared up as soon as we got the call this morning at 6:30. we opened our shelter at 7:00 and it is open there for people to come to safety tonight and stay there. they can also get food there. in our crisis counselors are there. as well as a nurse. >> how did you mobilize so quickly? i think many people will watch this and say the alarms go off, 5:00 a.m. and here we are, 14 hours later and you've got food, medical care and shelter. it is incredible how quickly that could have happened. >> well, we had red cross volunteers on the ground that live here in this community. just right outside and so they were the first two ladies that opened up the shulter. so that helps and they're all trained. our shelters are predesigned, so we know kind of depending on where the disaster is, what shelters we will use and so

archaeologist david webster. this was part of what we called the mystique of the maya. they maya are different from other people. they are unique. they don't behave the way other people do. of course, most complex pre-industrial societies are plagued with warfare. and the question was in my mind years ago, why should the maya ever have been different ? keach: archaeologists soon discovered the maya were not that different. evidence of war and captive taking began turning up in many cities. this drawing of a stela shows a king standing on the stripped and bound ruler of a neighboring kingdom. the decapitated remains of sacrificial victims are often found buried under royal buildings. some of the human skulls discovered at copan have been intentionally reworked into something else. physical anthropologist rebecca storey. it didn't take much looking at them to see, of course, that they have been deliberately modified. this one here, of course, has been cut. there are drill holes in these. we don't naturally have those kind of holes in our skull. there are evidences of cut

>> i think if you look up the word inexessential in webster's.ill see romney in illinois smiling. >> bill: all right. now, newt gingrich, he will stay in through louisiana and then he will pack it. he doesn't have enough money to go. really no reason for him to continue, is there? >> well, on the other hand, what's the cost of staying in? >> bill: he has got to have money and travel around and pay his staff, things like that. he is not going to spend his own money. >> he can go southwest. it's not a big deal. show up on election day. get a little free television. >> bill: how is he going to pay his guys? >> look, if i were him, would have already gone. i'm not him. he says he wants to be in tamp parks perhaps he will be in tampa. >> bill: he will be in tampa one way or the other he will be there. >> after a week or two he is not a factor it's safe to say. >> bill: rick santorum, he is another story because you basically have the center running as a conservative when he believes that conservatives need a voice and need a platform so he can pressur
