you need to listen to people. are you talking to someone who has the capacity to give who has never given? are you talking to a multimillionaire who has never written a check to a candidate before? we started talking about that. we are not trained as individuals to give money to political candidates. if you have ever done that and you are working with someone who has never done that, that can be a nervous thing for people. i give money to charity and i am involved in my community but you want me to write a check for this candidate? i don't even know this person. why would i write this check? what do you do? you make it about them and their investment. i understand you have never met my candidate and you are not a political giver but i know you care about this community and you care about the quality of education. you want teachers to be paid more and that is why you should be part of this campaign. you have to do that in a pretty quick way. i covered the last point previously. just remember it is about them and not

is that you need a star to raise money. you don't need a star to raise money. does it help? , of course. if you can get an a-list celebrity to come to your event, obviously you know, have them there. that would be awesome. but you don't have to have a star to raise money. what you do have to have is you have to have a clear mission and you have to have a clear focused after. what are you asking this person to do? what you asked them to do? they'll be a huge part because it may sound simple but a lot of what people lose in fund-raising is that people don't have a clear ask. when you're sitting in front of someone, you're going to have to actually focus that, you know, you're the one who is asked for this mean. you're the one who is picked up the phone and call them. so the onus always on you to make and ask. that has to be a very clear and short concise task. then you have to spend money to raise money. now, you know, i don't mean is absolutely in the sense that you're not going to spend any money. of course there's going to be some investment. but you don't have to go out the

you don't need a reason. st places are going that direction but in virginia you had to be out of state or have an excuse. you want to know when people register. anyone know you might know when people will register to vote early. when you are going to have volunteers go out to register people to vote early. why might you want to know the votes to build the register? [inaudible] >> you have talked about direct mail? you will not know the answer. part of what you are going to want to know is the register of voters or county clerks, the largest universe of people who are early voters. it will be a data question. you want to be able to say every person we know is voting early. when are we going to make these crucial decisions? when will we know how big that file is? california, as easy as it is to become a voter, you have to follow pretty specific guidelines if you're going to register voters. you need to make sure you sign back in what you didn't use. all those things. you want to know how you'd do it. set up a ta

you never need to sit down at a set time. this box is going to record all the shows you want to watch. you can watch tv on your time. and now i don't know how i lived without my tivo before. it was a very dark period in my life. but like nothing changed. the technology didn't change, the product didn't change. it was just how they talked about it. this is just something to remember. you don't want to be polling on what your policy is. you want to be polling on how to talk about your policy. that is the nutshell of what polling s. the other piece of research that us pollsteres do are focus groups. we basically go around the country, pull together 10, 20 people, sometimes less, sometimes more and talk about bakley what a the who of times what is the thing to put in the poll. what focus groups do is in polls sort of tell you what focus groups are, how you figure out why. we know that you find out that 40% of people in your state support the healthcare package that will go through congress. that is interesting in and of itself but

you don't need them to get fit. you just need the basics. here's dr. njay gupta. >> if it's a fit body you are after, don't worry. money matters don't have to derail your plan. >> i really don't believe that the every day average person needs to rely on a personal trainer to kind of motivate them and get them in shape. >> jennifer kowen, a fitness trainer by trade, says you don't need them or a gym membership. you just need the basics to get started. >> youing your body weight is a grate way to tone. >> if you have a little money, invest in exercise tools. >> a few hand weights. a couple resistance bands, a medicine ball. >> if you want to get started today, just remember, start small. >> a squat using a ball on a wall to doing a push-up and then doing a tricep dip. doing that circuit three or four times. you can do increments of ten minutes in the morning, ten minutes at night. >> try to integrate cardio drills like running in place, make sure to stretch and talk to your doctor before starting any workout. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. >>> some of

you need ten years. a lot of people say 20 years to build people, battalion commanders and district police chiefs and those were the senior leaders who are in a crucial counterinsurgency. what happens is your experience -- you have to give authority to officers who don't have the experience or talent either. we started in 1980. let's double the security forces. that is similar to what we have heard today. the problem is they didn't have a lot of americans to help out. so you created these forces but a lot of them were involved in death squads, gunning people down. civilians who were not closely tied to the insurgency. is not only fuel the opposition in el salvador but created opposition in the u.s. congress. this time factor has also been ignored when people tried to introduce a new elite class and support the old elite in running a country. we removed the leadership of the iraqi military and brought in exiles and other people who don't have a lot of experience running the country and this is chronicled

in fact, where you need a 5000 is to get started. you need a phone line that you need a computer. on where you are. if you're really just starting, that's when you need it. but again, if your funders need to think that you're the one that put it over the top, then who finds you? how do you keep your funders happy, and as i was a part of how you determine the timing. but in terms of the coalition, the coalition needs money early. they need money out of the box. and we have a number of people who really want to give money, but they will never say this, but they want to be the ones that get it over the top it's like, but this is going to be a slog for a little while. and this is when we really need it, to keep it together so that we are ready to seize that moment when it comes. [inaudible] >> yes. >> the computer, the phone line, you get that going. >> you have to have staff. you have to have something . .

you need some level resources but you don't need the huge number. the ability to get it interjected into the political discourse. now, going back to the memory process, you have to make it something people are interested in and simple tphufp that they can comprehend it and engaging that it has a personal consequence. if you can do that, you can get a long way with fewer resources. doesn't -- you still need some resources. i'm not saying you don't need any. but again giuliani had $70 million and $mitt romney had $110 million and neither one is there. >> after the strategy should you start at the beginning and work out like every sort of detail you want and if this doesn't work then we will do this, or is it more like going along the way and seeing that the strategy isn't working or this happens then rethinking the strategy that you have? >> when you sit down and do the initial strategy you need to think through what are my options. what are the different tkrebss and why would they exist. you do the same for the other side. what are their options and

but also you need stronger -- you need more bomb-sniffing dogs. more of these body scanners and you need international cooperation. everybody has got to be on the same page here or it won't work. >> that's easy to say. haven't we been saying this over and over and over again? it all goes back to human intelligence. i mean, i feel like i'm deja vu all over again. >> i think you're right. >> we talked about this seven or eight years ago. >> i think you're right, chris. one person -- the whole idea of the 9/11 commission was one party's got to be responsible. the cia wasn't talking to the fbi and the folks up there in minnesota, the guys taking, you know, flying lessons only had to steer the plane. somebody did not put all of this together, as steve emerson said, connect the dots. who do we put in charge of connecting the dots? that person i think, or that unit, is the one that ought to be held accountable if it got the information and the information was not withheld from it. >> i'm going to get killed for asking this question because we're out of t

you need to know who is out there. that is important to community choice. you cannot make the case to the state government unless you say you do not have any people out there. you may not have anybody trained. you need to have that to make the argument to be able to support this stuff. if it will be interesting to see how much resistance we get on this. >> one more question. >> >thanks for coming to speak here today. i hope we all take a moment to understand this. so much of health care reform [unintelligible] is -- this is the one piece that i think as a transformative quality to it. it brings a new model to the table which is important if we are going to involve. i have a question with that in mind. what can you think are the strategies to help the long- term insurance industry see the value of this? that is an important piece of the transformation. people change jobs over time. do you have a sense for how managing my benefit kind of a for a one question. -- 401 question. >> that was one of our questions. the other was how to simplify this in a way that an

and you need marshmel oes in there. an indulge without cheating. >> thanks for coming on. i'm going to pop a marshmellow and turn it over to jenna. >>> this morning on jenna really speaking, one last look at resolutions. we're three days into the new year and if you haven't broken your resolution yet, congratulations to you. as we found out in times square the other day, some of you made some rather quirky promises to yourself. generally speaking. >> okay. so we've gone back to 2009, a time when intentions were good and resolutions were running rampant. so what is your new year's resolution this year? >> teach my old dog new tricks. >> wow. lose some weight that's really my new year's resolution but i'll probably mess it up. >> it's not the hat or the glasses, it's the weight you're concerned with? >> the weight. >> i'm going to stop watching reality tv. >> no reason why i'm asking you this as opposed to anybody else, it's not like you stand out or anything, what is your new year's resolution this year? besides, obviousl

you need to be able to go in. if you have the government replaces function, you can go in and represent your company and go in and explain to them why the particular piece of legislation or regulation would be bad for your company. here's how we can make it better to accomplish the same goal. by the same token, that's defense. you can also play offense. that's seeking advantage through the legislation regulatory process. a lot of people react on the defense side. but frankly, if you're running the fairly sophisticated government relations operation in town, again, today my conversation would focus on companies. but this would apply to a nonprofit, it would apply to a labor union. there's also a lot of opportunity sometimes to go in and get on the ground floor of a proposed legislation or if you find out that a senator or member of congress or a committee is taken up an issue, you can go in and offer up some help and solutions that would advantage -- potentially advantage you in a way that you would otherwise be dis

so before you get started, what do you need to know? efore we get to dan's trade, let's break out that playbook. dan, let's start off with the strikes. how do you choose them? >> the strikes goes back to some of the things we talk about. you want to look at certain technical levels, you want to look at valuation levels and you want to pick areas where you have the potential to get long. and that's really important. >> in terms of cost? >> particularly the cost of the two puts that you sell because it's very easy to sit there and say i want to pick a really low strike option because that's where i'm comfortable getting long. but at a certain point, it really doesn't make that much sense to sell those puts. if you've got a put that's a nickel bid, do you really want to go ahead and sell them just because that's where you'd be comfortable getting long the stock? be careful you don't choose too cheap. >> and you have to be careful about the cash you'll be tying up in your account because all of this requires margin. >> you may end up collect

you will need to know who are your friends and how to cultivate those relationships and you will need to know who are not your friends. you will need to be able to develop relationships with people in smaller media organizations and larger media organizations. these individuals can tell you how to do that. i did not want this opportunity to go by without them dealing with that. will you deal with that? [laughter] >> the first thing you can do is gets jamal's card because you can hire him. me is really about the business of media. media is not anyone's friends. -- media is about the business of media. how'd we manipulate media to get out what we want to get out as opposed to allowing it to use us? >> i will give three general points for dealing with the media in any situation. first, smile. people come anything you have to say, people will remember if you look angry. i get people who walk past the airport and they will say i saw you. and i say what did you see and they said utility -- is feeling good. second, never put your hand in the camera. if i see somebody put their hand in the ca

when you need the help, you call in the girl scouts, right? is that what you do?dies, go ahead. bring themll in here. anta antonella, you're the leader. >> and this is my co-leader as well. >> how difficult is it to get the coats? >> we did the collection. we're fortunate to have our principal at the school. we had-d the coat drive with the children. and they helped drop all the coat as each parent dropped off their bags. >> come here for a minute. did you actually take coats off of people when they were coming in. did you steal them and run away with the coats. >> no. >> because the girl scouts wouldn't do that, right? >> no. >> there's no one out there looking for their coats and it was the girl scouts that took them and ran away with them? >> no. >> because the girl scouts couldn't do that. thank you for doing that. by the way, twitter pictures in, from lockport, new york, by the way, a big cold snap hit the east coast. there are extreme measures feign to stay warm. like i grew a beard when i got back. look very closely, it was a beard. i had to get rid of it.

it can range all the way up to 11 million people, if you include people who need help with any kind of routine daily activity, or you can narrow that down considerably to about three million people, if you narrow the definition which is needing help in multiple activities of daily living, which is typically bathing and dressing, but any way you define it on the non-institution side, the non-institutional long-term care population is larger and often quite a bit larger than the institutional long-term care population, which numbers between 1.5 and 1.8 million people. who are the people who need long-term care services? well, it's well known that women dominate, especially in institutions, two-thirds are women, but you may find it surprising, that half of the overall long-term care population is elderly, that despite the fact that the vast majority of people living in institutions are elderly, but overall, half of the long-term care population is elderly, even if you define it narrowly and you may be surprised to find that half of community residents to receive long-term care services li

you need a visa to go to iraq but you don't need a visa to go to kurdistan. and the fact that it has all the trappings of an independent state, frankly, reduces the incentive to go for formal independence. as between the sunnis and shiites, they do think of themselves as iraqis, and i don't think you can think of a symmetric devolution of power in that country. the other thing about iraq, so basically the iraqi system allows those who really want to govern their own affairs and the independent, to be independent. and those who don't, they don't have to. and at the center, with a super majority system, and the allocation of positions, each of these groups is represented in the central government. so while a shiite is going to be the prime minister, he doesn't choose the other ministers. if there are 20 ministers, 10 of them will be shiites, five will be courage, but it would be the kurdistan nationalism parties that choose the kurdish ministers, and the sunni parties choose the sunni minister pics of the bargaining takes place within the cabinet. quite often,

at the price you need. today... and tomorrow. that's our promise. and that's... gredients for life. safeway. >>> windy weather. have to keep an eye on everything not nailed down. didn't help -- thank you for starting your monday with us. happy new year to you. i'm andrea roane. we want to update school delays. these districts open two hours late. in virginia, these are opening one hour late. i am here with howard saying good morning. we have a snow flake on the forecast. >> i laugh about the sunshine. you have a better resolve than i do. i was out in it. it was miserable, painful cold wind. >> i was, too. but the sky was blue, that makes it better. >> i suppose. let's talk about it. today, we have a chance for flurry or snow shower. best chances stay in the mountains. it is cold and windy. temperatures are running into the low and mid-20s. some teens, culpeper, 16, 25 in annapolis. wind chills running in 10 to 15 range. 8 below zero in garrett county. today, chance of flurry or snow shower this afternoon. only in low 30s at best for a high. >> good morning. we are

time, your medical status so that we can make a determination of front, what kind of facility do you needo be in and not just from the perspective of where you run away and were you hurt somebody but what kind of medical care you need to have. do you have the kind of medical condition that means you need to be detained in a facility that has a particularly sophisticated level of care or is next to a place in the country that has a hospital with that kind of care. we are surely going to issue our very first request to the private sector for the construction of an i.c.e. detention facility designed for the purpose of the immigration retention. we are going to start filling out and instead of saying please provide as 500 beds or 1,000 beds and the result being that we get 500 access beds and a jail or somebody goes to a jail that is no longer being used in says here are your 500 beds. we are going to go to contractors. we are going to go to state and local jail systems and we are going to say we want fife hundred beds are we want 1,000 beds, but we don't want a jail, we wanted immigration de

you need for the wedding.collected 20,381 cans, having donations equal to 27,727 cans. that's a total of 48,108 cans. that's a lot of cans there. but you have over 350,000 to go. do you think you're going to get there? >> i certainly hope so. >> i'll bet you do, because you want to pay for this wedding. what kind of wedding are you planning? >> well, we're planning a wedding where we celebrate the friends and the family that brought us together and our union and to have basically a big party where a wedding happens to happen in the middle of it. >> okay. what gave you the idea of going green to do this, to help get the finances raised? >> well, we've always been kind of a green couple. our front yard is an organic garden and all of the neighbors think we're crazy for it. we've always recycled cans. peter has an art hobby that involves melting down aluminum, so we had 40 pounds in our backyard when the project started. >> oh, that's pretty great. is this something that you think other people can get going? i me

now, if you need to put your belt and whom you put it on.y have been talking to me for a couple of times. this year is just perfect. it's for a good reason, a good cause. they are always good brothers. it's an honor to be here to join them for the summer groove. and dwayne wade, he's involved now with his foundation. those are two good brothers doing two good things in miami and florida. and it's an honor for me to be a part of it. that's for the associates. we cannot get it out there or something closer. and i want to try to do the same thing look out for the kids to do as much as they can. >> it's been a great weekend and it's been busy. no sleep. but it is all worth it and to be better and better. >> and how does alonzo want to be better? talking naturally as a father, as a person who started this greatly in the community. and how would you like to be remembered? >> i'm more than able to help others the way that they have helped me, creating a legacy for my kids. and you know, i know that i'm encouraging others to do the same for them. an

we will tell you what you need to infox fie your kitchen. >> so when you say detox fie, that means no cookies in the cookie jar or other kind of snacks? >> we will walk through the five inbreed cents we don't want to ever see. they include white sugar, fructose, the white breads and white pastas that are equivalent to sugars. you also want to get it of saturated and trans fat. >> and one of the reasons why we need to do this is to save our life, keep us going for a lot longer? >> belly fat is a challenge here. i know howard will do well with this. if you calculate how tall somebody is. let's say he is 5'10." divide it in half. that is 35 inches. if his waist size is more than 35 inches he has too much belly fat. you need simple solutions for snacks and breakfast foods. >> how much are we talking about losing in two weeks if we follow your approach? >> well, most folks lose 2 to 3 inches. i'm not interested in two weeks. the reason it is a two-week program is to reboot your taste buds, to get you detoxified. shave off 100-calories every day for the rest of the year. >> thank you very m
