and we at the faa you would look at to think. is a particular pilot showing or exhibiting a an excessive failure rate and a short training program, maybe the training program itself based. >> i would rather take a chance to. >> well that what you have to do is training review boards at some of the carriers, and i think what you are going to see us move toward is maybe everybody should be doing that. maybe the review, if one particular pilot is failing over and over again, that's not acceptable. and i think we do need to deal with that. >> yeah, is there any concern about the population in the towers, you know, newark for instance. required 36 fully trained controllers in the power we have to wait six or 27, seven of them are controlled in training. as we all know, we have a fantastic aviation system. we have lots of brilliant people doing things, but we don't have enough. and if you were to go into the operating room with a radiologist short, you wouldn't say that's good for the patient. are we concerned enough, mr. administrator

at the very end i met with a woman that acquired at the beginning and at the end she appeared. we went from the north, from hanoi, all the way down. we went out and look at u.s. battlefields, and at this point in etch 199 # i think it was vietnamese were only used to seeing american vets come back with their kids. so they treateds us -- even though we are a different kind of vet and they treated us as somebody who understood and loved their country. vamp is a beautiful place, and i urge everybody to go there i did end up meeting with a whom who i had met with as the head of he delegation in bermuda bermuda pest -- buddha pest and we had an extraordinary afternoon with her listening to her life story. >> fugitive days about the last -- a lot about you also, professor ayers book. is there a fugitive days in you? >> guest: bill's book is two arcing love stories, his relationship with diana, and then with me, and, no, i'm not writing a memoir. >> oo period. >> guest: period. i'm writing and in the sense race course is memoiristic, so i'm going to draw on my history and we have two

bernanke, i guess i come at this differently than my friend from utah. i guess i'm interested who was threatening whom. what point did you learn from mr. lewis the deal with merrill lynch, loops, had a $12 billion of a hadn't realized in doing their due diligence. >> december 17th. >> i can't hear you. >> december 17th when he called secretary paulson. >> and wind in retrospect to your knowledge did they learn they have a 12 million-dollar problem? >> they claim they haven't known any earlier than the 14th of december and that we have no direct evidence to the contrary. >> were you concerned about the lack of due diligence? >> we did have concerns, yes. >> did you take it as a threat or do you think -- did you take it as a threat or did other senior officials perhaps discuss it as a threat in plight or otherwise that mr. lewis far from being a victim was actually manipulating the federal government that we are going to back out of this deal because the 12 billion-dollar problem we didn't catch and less in exchange we get some assurance thus t.a.r.p. mone

>> yes, we certainly looked at that. i think it's an interesting point even though as the federal government's borrowing has skyrocketed, that the u.s. current account deficit, which is essentially a measure of the amount of borrowing be do from abroad, is actually lower today than it's been in some years, which suggests that the increase in federal borrowing has been substantially offset by a decline in private borrowing as banks and households deleverage. so, in a sense of there being an availability, there is an availability of credit to meet the needs of the u.s. governments and other governments. that being said, as i mentioned in my testimony, in order to make lenders willing to continue to finance us at reasonable interest rates, we do have to persuade them that we are serious about returning to a more balanced fiscal situation going forward. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much for your testimony. mr. ryan? >> thank you, chairman. good to see you again, chairman. let's talk about our deficit and debt. the cbo, th

in comparison, virgin atlantic is capped at just over 3%. yes, a striking difference which shows no one can replicate their scale. loose time we said b.a. and a.a. would hold the dominant share of peak hour slots at heath row. nothing has changed. these slots are essential to the competitiveness of transatlantic services. b.a. was gifted many of those when it was privatized. no other carrier can get anywhere close to competing. last time we said that b.a. and a.a. would have an insurmountable lock on key airport pairs, nothing has changed. in fact, their market share has increased further since 2001. at the moment, they compete against each other on six key routes from heathrow, giving them im community would change all this. according to the official air lied guide up to the end of march, 2009, b.a./a.a. controlled 100% of all heath row dallas ft. worth capacity, 80% of heathrow boston, 70% of hooet row/miami, 64 of hooeingt row chicago, 64% of heathrow new york and 47% of heathrow los angeles capacity. given severe constraints at heathrow,

when we look at the worksite, we're engaging the employers that we cover to look at the cafeterias that they have. to make recommendations about what foods should be there, how they should subsidize the items that they serve there. what kind of vending machines do they have in place? this is not about having a single bullet. this is about being very comprehensive in how you think about care. when we think about the community, we do things that are unusual for health insurance company. we were the major advocate for smoking cessation in hour state. we have beat tobacco, we took that money and plowed that back into taking the smoking rates down. we also do things like complete streets, where we advocate for sidewalks, bike paths, safe crossing guards, things that a health company would think about as opposed to perhaps an insurance company. : >> and back to the employer who is delivering that care. so it absolutely has a return, and it's absolutely critical. minnesota has a 17% smoking rate. the country has a 22% smoking rate. blue cross blue shield of minnesota has a 10.9% smoking rate.

he voted for reagan at least once, maybe twice. >> once. >> he was sort of a young republican at that point, right? >> well, you have to remember his real hero is richard nixon and this is primarily because he's a son of a serbian immigrants and most immigrants at that point were republican when they came to the united states number oneuuz because th were very angry at roosevelt and -- roosevelt and -- [inaudible] >> well, eisenhower -- but what happened at yalta, in essence, they felt the many serbs felt yugoslavia had been given away by the iron curtain by the democratic leadership so they -- and they really loved general dwight d. eisenhower because he had liberated the prison camp, german prison camp that rode blagojevich found himself in. he had been captured and spent four years in a nazi prison camp so many serbs including rode blagojevich were staunch republicans. and that affection for dwight d. eisenhower passed on to richard nixon. so in this blagojevich home where only serbian was spoken, the republicans were the party of choice. his mother had been born in the united stat

auto industry-- i look at detroit and i look at the federal policies of the last 30 years. i look at union demands and i look at the corporate dealership and that sort of iron triangle which is crushed and was already on its way down before last year. is there ever going to be a u.s. auto industry again in detroit, the old style? i know bmw is then greenville in spartanburg. it is there a situation, tax policy, regulatory policy and all the rest, that is ever going to allow that industry to flourish again? >> real quickly, i sure hope so. i have always thought an american car. i just wrote a column about the subject. a beautiful red camaro convertible, by midlife crisis car but i want america, i don't want those jobs to disappear and it is important i think that we have, it is not final but we be good to have an auto-- american on the manufacturing industry. we are now at the precipice of basically having three groups running the auto industry. the united states government, the united autoworkers and the sierra club and folks that is a prescription for disaster. the problem

willingham at left, elijah dukes at right. josh bard will catch and followed by willie harris and anderson hernandez. nick johnson, .419 on-base percentage this year. seven knot the national league. team batting average for washington, .259, tied for sixth in the national league. for the orioles, left fielder nolan reimold, his first career home run came off of mariano rivera for the yankees back on may 20th. he is among the american league leader force the triple counsel. the o's lineup tonight, brian roberts leads off at second. jones will be in center field, nick markakis, after four hits yesterday against the marlins, he'll be in right and then huff, reimold in left field, luke scott the d.l., -- d.h., mora and andino will be playing at shortstop. the team batting average for the o's is .270, and that is tied for sixth best in the american league. welcome back back. johnny holliday along with ray knight. it is nats' extra pre-game on masn brought to you by our friends at verizon wireless. we haven't had this in some time.

at first base. he'll come here and try to keep this rally going a lead-off home run, base hit, nobody out. salazar will pinch hit for felix pie who technically took over defensively in the second inning. >> jim: so salazar will bat and andino is on at first base and still nobody down. they had a five-run bottom of the seventh and the orioles are trying to get back in it here in the eighth. dan meyer was originally drafted by the braves and made his way to oakland as buck mentioned and the marlins got him on a waiver. and here is salazar, and he intakes high, 1-0. >> buck: oscar had a big at-bat sunday against cole hamels and that came as he pinch hit with robert andino at second base. he hit a ground ball to the right side to move the base runner up to third and set the table for brian roberts' game- winning base hit to center. fouls. >> jim: he fouls it off the other way 1-1. >> buck: he can hit. he and nolan reimold were the heart of the order for the norfolk triple-a team. >> jim: andino leading

we arrive at the 10:00 hour. ballgame's just over two hours old after a 37 minute rain delay that got us under way at 7:47 at land shark stadium. bob, rob and debbi and our masn crew here on masn 2. johnny and ray are straight ahead with "nats xtra." but a very important out to get here in the 8th inning. and it's taking a while. bases loaded.   >> bob: third base, ramirez doubled, all of this after two outs. cantu walked intentionally after the count went to 2-0. and then uggla who doesn't walk much, the bases are loaded with two outs for cody ross and he's 0 for 3. cody ross has three grand slams this year. so does hanley ramirez. who has hit two in the last week and a half. >> rob: sometimes you don't have to tell everything. >> bob: but if tavarez doesn't throw any strikes, a bases loaded walk will be a dagger as well. >> rob: wil nieves goes out for a little chitchat. manny acta will go out and have a little chitchat. what's going on. one of the biggest outs of the game right

first at-bat, actually that was the second at-bat. this is the first at-bat. he's going to bunt for a base hit right here. no chance with that speed. just when you think he's going to play some small ball on you, he's going to jack one off the left center field wall for a double. anderson hernandez having a great night at the plate. >> bob: we like that kid a lot. he's an intriguing player. great speed. my only criticism of him defensively is that on routine plays he probably needs to charge the ball a little more. that will come with experience. he's quick on the double play, good quick hands. here's the veteran lance cormier. he'll let home plate umpire know when he's ready. one out for the rays to win this series and put themselves in position for a sweep tomorrow. >> rob: isringhausen who was hurt before we went to commercial, had elbow problems in the past. i know a lot of guys, especially that are getting up there in years and throwing a lot of pitches, sometimes that adrenaline, just too much for your skeletal frame. >> bob: a reminder that the cal ripk

tied at 1-1. move to extra innings now, bottom 10, tied at 4-4, david wright with one man on, jayson werth coming in to make the grab. wright has been red hot. hitting over .600 in his last 10 games. would have loved to get that hit. utley again getting it done -- his second home run of the game, second multi-home-run game of the season. phillies on top 5-4. ryan madson on to close it out replacing brad lidge on the d.l. with the sprained knee. he picks up his third save of the year. cole hamels started the game, 11 hits allowed ties a career high for him, but chan ho park gets it done. his first win since being moved to the bullpen. he's thrown out five straight scoreless innings. mets shot themselves in the foot. 16 left on base. >> jerry manuel not a fan of the loss, especially to a division rival. >> any game at this point for us -- like i said, we're trying to take games off the board because we're somewhat depleted, but any game that we have a lead, and i felt we got pretty good pitching for

if you make the assumption that gdp will grow at 3% -- and it may not grow at 3%. that is not a guarantee either. you may have a green economy that generates so much value that the 0.8% is outweighed by something else. i think this is an important point. the other area that think we have to remember is that we are the yo-yo dieters when it comes to energy in the u.s. weekend, we crash, we start, we've been again. the problem is if you binge long enough, it is harder to get lean. energy companies are doing the right now. that leaves the energy infrastructure vulnerable to greater costs of imported energy sources. the very price signals we are talking about encourage leaner growth to spend the money that we need to build energy muscle. 2009 looks like it is going to be year no. 5 and that is going to be a doozy. basically this is a yo-yo dieter buying a swimsuit for win -- when you are thinnest. i do not think we should build our policies at the time when we are our sixth guest. if you look a figure eight on page 10, and it shows a picture of what you get for free al

giambi on at first base. slideer will miss outside and a 1 ball, 2 strikes count. >> buck: cunningham signed with the white sox and was traded to arizona in a deal that brought the white sox danny rishaw. later, he was traded to oakland. that was that great trade that landed the diamondbacks dan haren. >> gary: 2 balls, 2 strikes count. orioles are facing their third loss in a row if they do not come back in this ballgame. 2-2. ripped hard to short, andino. there is one, relay and a double play. what a play by andino to kick that one off at short and get out of the inning. that's just a great hit and a quick turn by brian roberts.  ♪ ♪ who's watching? ♪ tell me who's watching. (muffled music) ♪ who's watching... (announcer) it's right here. it's easy. ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me. ♪ it's the money you could be saving with geico. . >> gary: time's running ou for you to win the adam jones bobblehead. it's for june 17th when the mets are in camden yard. you will receive four pas

at the same time, the u.s. should be nuanced because the support of millions of people who were peacefully pouring of into the streets and demanding an end to dictatorship and asking for freedom of expression and of their rights should be supported. there is a difference between support and intervention. sometimes the two are blurred and should not be. definitely -- you see all the suns with the iranians -- there are signs that they need to know they're not alone, but in the right way. host: throughout this hour we will show you video from u2. a caution with this -- we do not note the date and we do not know who shot at or what the context is. we are giving you some of the view that the world can see on youtube but you have the ticket with a grain of salt that is not verified. we do have to take it with a grain of salt. this is from our republican line. caller: duty really think that the elections even really matter considering the closed circle of theocratic power when troops reformists are not even allowed to

you should own at that issue. i suspect you will you just need to make sure, by the way, you should say don't act as though mental illness is an issue independent of or somehow out of the broader debate, it is fully integrated and must we addressed as such protests you do that, you are saying that you are right senator so when so or congress man so and so, this is the biggest issue, mental illness 512 do prevention right, you must do this progress ynez you use that as a strategy as the best that you can, you are attaching your train car to the in gin. that's is what you need to do on all of these issues. >> the kind of foundation did a terrific study that basically said by bringing the uninsured or as many as you can into the medicaid program and expanding its you would save massive amounts of money and we would get a system which is already working and organize, how do you feel about that? >> i want to come back with what chris said and 4v, the -- for me it seems counter intuitive but the focus on what exactly th

the japanese bullet trains are at 170 miles per hour. the french t.v.g. is at 160 miles per hour. we can't be content to just build out an ordinary system. what will high speed rail do for us in addition to moving passengers and helping our climate control? it'll create jobs for our citizens. jobs in building out the system and orders for american factories. let me stress the importance of that. in pennsylvania alone, we have general electric transportation in erie and most of these factories tend to be in hard-hit areas of the country in erie, pennsylvania, they employ over 4 hourks people, -- 4,000 people, they are ready to build the next generation of high speed locomotives. in harrisburg, the biggest steel company in the world has a plant that build railroad tracks with 400 workers. with just this $13 billion investment, they intend to increase, maybe double or trip they will size of their workforce in doing such. t.g.v., the french rail system, is run by a c

the question is, at what point are you trying to reflect public opinion and educate the public and at what point are you manipulating? at what point are you trying to actually convince people you're doing the opposite of what you're doing when the words you choose are actually trying to conceal the fact that you're not keeping your promises, you know, and are not in touch. it's when you cross that line and, you know, when you do, you know -- you just take a bunch of policies, which one test the highest and, you know, we'll focus on those kinds of policies, then i think you're diminishing politics, you know, for the public. you're not being really responsive -- >> what do you mean picking policies that pop up but you take the side of. if they are sufficiently supported by the population to pop out, why wouldn't you want to -- why is paying attention to what people want, it through a tea party or a response in a poll just because it's not -- wasn't on your agenda sometimes leaders, followers are the leaders so why -- why has it become automatically nefarious or manipulative? >> it depen

at this point, we are spending billions of dollars, billions. and i said how does that work and he said well, we are auditing the work and contracts in iraq from alexandria va, which explained why, you know, it's reflected in your own report explains why we are having such a problem. and now i read again from the kennedys memo we've got four folks in the country spending billions of dollars. we have to add the blogger mer force base and two down in kandahar and that's it. and if we don't get a handle on it with boots on the ground, people competent enough to review these contracts, this is a criminal. it's criminal. you know, there is nobody that would operate like this in a private basis if we were spending private corporate dollars this wouldn't be happening. i think it's happening only because we are spending taxpayer dollars and people feel that it doesn't have to be audited to that degree. we are terribly sloppy in iraq and afghanistan and have got to tighten our act. what do you see as the greatest need in terms of getting some accountabil

while you are at it, mr. cohen has represented that none of this is being outsourced beyond the united states in terms of the regional carriers. i am confident it is being outsourced beyond the united states for the large commercial carriers. does your association have a number of what percentage of that maintenance is being outsourced? i don't -- i'm sure we had the answer to that. i don't happen to have it within. i would be happy to provide. >> if you have it that would be terrific. it has been a very difficult -- the information is difficult to come by from the faa. they have not i don't think prioritized looking at this issue, and i don't think the american flying public realizes to what extent maintenance has been outsourced in an effort to cut costs, and what one of the problem is in that many of these places there are not even alcohol or drug testing. it seems weird to me that we have domestic certified repair stations, and because we don't have as many of them anymore because so many have been outsou

it is a book that looks at pearl harbor, looks at fear of using government, it looks at what happened after the kennedy assassination with huge literature, on that and it comes up to 9/11, it's a wonderful read in something that i think unfortunately will never go away. this is an author is but a lot of time and used that for her research. >> what comes naturally. >> what comes naturally i am thrilled to say is winning two words of this conference call with his father worked for 20 years on the book about miscegenation law issues, then she thought which he started it was a reliable and topical issue and she thought by the time to finish it shouldn't be so unusual anymore. and shouldn't be something that people still have an issue about, this is above that travels from the civil war right up to the present and those of the many different groups that have been defined as non-white and the laws that have been made and against all sorts of the union's and love relationships and the society and how people got basically taken to court and other people just what their race was. and she tries

he's right at .280. supposed to be our best offensive prospect at 19 years old in the organization. >> then a final, delmarva beats hagerstown 9-7. the second game is in progress. >> sad news to report with josh willingham's brother john, lost his life in an automobile accident last night in alabama. our condolences to the entire willingham family. josh left the ball club today to go down this morning to be with his family and just tragic news. manny acta, bob carpenter and rob dibble were talking about it. you can imagine, if you as a manager had to go through something like this during your days, how absolutely torn apart the entire organization is. >> johnny, there's i did have it a couple of times, when members of our family, someone close to them passed, one of our players passed, in spring training, a minor league player. words just aren't enough to express the sadness and the condolences and you know the pain that a little 27-year-old young man is just ripped from us. adenhart gone, and josh, such

we're looking certainly at cost, we're looking at improving care and we're looking at the value being delivered in the system. i'm also going to talk a little bit about how we positioned our company as a health company, and some of the things that are distinctive about that. and then i'll touch on some disruptive innovation, because health care is in great need of disruptive innovation to continue to improve what is happening in the country. one of the things we have in minnesota and i think it's the back bone of the difference in the minnesota model, is the tight integrated nature of health care and health care delivery in minnesota, particularly in the twin cities, but certainly in rochester, minnesota, as well a place called mayo. and many of you have heard of mayo, and it's getting a lot of play in the national discussion. we in minnesota are very proud of the mayo health care system and it certainly does an outstanding job. but i'm also here to tell you that we have a number of terrific health care providers in minnesota, and we have significant opportunity to have quality and to

at the end of the war, the americans of kosciuszko salary of $12,280. they couldn't pay and because the united states treasury bills and set up yet so they gave him bonds bearing interest of 6% but this didn't help kosciuszko because he wanted to go back to poland. so, he met this man saw when -- solomon who was a polish jew was at 22 wall street which was already, new york city was a polyglot city at this time and solomon travel around europe and spoke feast for languages so he started trading currencies and he knew all the european laws so he made a lot of money and opened a shop where he traded every species of merchandise and every branch of business. well, solomon became friends with jefferson, madison, and a lot of people he agreed with politically. so, he would give them loans but these were loans he didn't want paid back and this is one of the greatest lost heroes of the american revolution because times solomon ended up finding much of the american revolution. the british are arrested him in new york and he escaped and made his way to philadelp

we're tied at 2. the nats have a winning run at 2 2nd base. let's take a look once again. >> rob: now you know why. after an hour rain delay, you usually take a man out. hits it to right center field. great job alberto. that was worth the wait. >> johnny: gonzalez drives drives in the tying run. we'll go back to the top of the order with cristian guzman. >> rob: he's got to get a base hit. >> rob: the pitch inside. one out, 2-2 ballgame. >> rob: if you waited up to watch the end of the game, it was worth the wait. glad to have you with us. >> johnny: dukes walked and scored. willingham walked and scored. guzman falls behind in the count 1-2. >> rob: that was a wicked breaking ball there. >> johnny: bard has tied the ballgame with an rbi single. gonzalez tied it. guzman evened the count 2-2. bottom of the 9th. reds have three base hits, nats have seven. johnson on deck. pitch inside. guzman takes the call, 3rd strike. >> rob: this is a moving fastball here. you have the whip action by cordero on the inside corner there. not inside our pitch tra

at&t >> moving day at the memorial. tiger woods, three-time winner there looking to make his move in round three. on the 11th hole, second shot on a par 5, tiger on the dance floor in two and then watch the way this ball rolls. creeps closer and closer toward the flag. it's almost as if the ball is saying, "hey, tiger hit me," finished nine feet from the hole. tiger would be set up for an eagle putt -- going fast and going downhill. tiger at four under after draining that. birdied 14. then on 15, another birdie putt. woods at six under par. on 17, this is a par putt. lips out. tiger four-under 68 on the day, five under for the tournament, four back of the leader. geoff ogilvy out of the sand, into the hole. shot a 74 friday, a 63 saturday. that's a tournament record. he's two back of the leader. this guy, matt bettencourt, a rookie. check out the approach on 17. he had eight birdies in the round. shot a four-under 68 in round three. shares the lead with mark wilson. what a shot. it's unbelievable. that would lead to a b

if you look at what the nationals have available at that spot, look at what mike rid el had talked about, it may not be the best draft out there but they still have three of the first 80 picks. they can still get some quality people. >> they can get another pitcher. what they are doing is just stacking up on great young arms and we already have a truck load of good young arms and it's been evidenced by what the young men do up here. you can talk about stay monday, detwiler, zimmerman, you get a guy like strays bourg, this just takes you to another level. you know, we haven't signed him but assuming we're going to sign him. worst-case scenario we get the number 2 pick next we're but we don't want to waste another year with a guy like aaron crow. tom seaver was called the franchise. why? because every time he went out there he won and he also had the mental attitude to make everybody around him beryl. that's what they are saying about steven strasbourg, this is a great day, a glows day in washington nationals history if we get this young man signed. >> johnny holiday had a chance to look i

let's look at the world record that usain bolt currently holds he had a field day at the beijing olympics last summer. setting the record in the individual races. and ran the third leg in the 4 by 100 meter relay for jamaica, where another world record was broken. >> >> all right, still to come. they're under way in o-town. we'll update magic and lakers in their pivotal game 4 match-up. >> and we will update things from fenway right now the red sox nursing a 1-0 lead. penny and sabathia. we'll let you know what's going on. also, a thriller in houston. astros cubs and that right there, part of the highlig since 1873, coors banquet has been brewed in one place... and one place only: golden, colorado. it's followed one tradition: use the best high-country barley... and only rocky mountain water. and it's been brewed under one motto: never compromise. now maybe this means we're a little set in our ways. but we know a few guys who will drink to that. coors. the banquet beer.

and at the end of the day, mr. speaker, the prime minister, look at being a tribute to him and his faith. would the prime minister consider coming to faith and speaking? >> i would, indeed. lawrence daily was a friend of mine as well as of many people. i think there are few peo

but pirates don't live at sea, pirates don't bank at sea. all of that business of piracy is done ashore. and there has to be an effort to increase the governments, to remove the lawlessness from that part of the world so that you can squeeze the pirates from the sea and have the rule of law address their criminal activity ashore. that is what happened in the straits of malacca a few years ago. very high incidents of piracy there but malaysia, singapore, indonesia and thailand came together, put in place a maritime scheme, shared information, joined in cooperative patrol, but at the same time they were able to use their law enforcement ashore, and they were able to essentially eradicate piracy in the straits of malacca. we have to continue to work cooperatively, but i would also say that three, four years ago if you had said that china, russia, the e.u., nato, malaysia, india, the united states, australia, canada, greece, turkey would all be working together, that's a pretty, pretty interesting mix of countries. but that's what we're doing be

who we looking at? no. >> senator coburn had an amendment. >> tom, do you have an amendment. >> waiting on the resolution. >> waiting on that resolution. >> mr. chairman, i have some other amendments but if we resolve this then i probably won't have any more amendments on it. i have a lot of worries but no amendments. >> mr. chairman, i think what senator robert, coburn and inzio are saying is if the roberts language is adopted or could be included or whatever, it would essentially crack the davinci code on a variety of these amendments because as i look at many of these amendments, there are variations of the same ones of coburn 9 and roberts 1. and so if we could have our legal people to take a look at it, and properly vet it, then i think we could proceed. >> well, i don't think we're probably going to do that in the next five or ten minutes. >> no, we cannot. >> maybe, tom, you would like to offer a proposal? i actually think and it may be okay with this section if, in fact, we get that solved. so,

we need to look at the system. the thought that somehow we can monitor cockpit voice recorders and somehow improve the safety or the compliance of pilots, let us focus on the professionalism and the training of those air man who do this a day in and day out. we're missing something, missing that these airmen have been doing their job. now, let's not take this accident and try to say it was caused because pilots were talking in the cockpit. you have to communicate, you have to relay. i'm not going to talk about this one obviously because it is still under investigation and we are analyzing. we want to improve it yes but where do learn to become a professional? learn from the men and women your respect. if you break the chain and keep moving around flying and where to get that experience -- always said in a new first officer is fine with somebody who's only been flying for three years. that would have happened if airlines wouldn't keep pushing flying around the system. it took me 12 years to make captain. that used t

. -- was my district director at the time. i had christie and jody and ron and linda all intervened for you. i came in at the very end and talked to the president. but not just myself but every member of congress, we've helped hundreds, sometimes thousands of people every year. your case just happened to be life and death and we put a lot of extra effort into it because we knew how important it was to get you health care as quickly as possible. but it's not just me. it's every member of congress that tries to serve our constituents. my first question will be to the subseque gentle lady to the far right. you said they asked several questions several different ways and they were very tricky. is it your understanding that that's a standard practice in the individual insurance markets? do they start out with the intention of setting you up so that later on they may disqualify you? is that your opinion? >> yes. that's my opinion. i believe they ask you the same question several times so that if you disclose it in one area or and th

follow teddy on twitter at teddy26nats or check out our notes at natstown mlb. there's kearns. >> i do twitter. >> i can send a text. that's about it. >> that's all you have to do. that's what twittering is. >> i don't have one of those phones that's a quick type, if you know what i mean. >> maybe you can work something out with the iphone people. >> that's okay. you don't want to get too tech no on me. do you have a crank phones at home? remember the waltons on tv. they still had that phone. >> i'm not ready for twitter. >> you have a jitterbug phone. >> what does that mean? >> for like senior citizens. >> if the shoe fits. you haven't seen the jitterbug commercial? >> nope. it's like a phone with big numbers and not a lot of bells and whistles. 2-2 to kearns. the ball gets away, but the runners have to stay. now it's 3-2. >> try to steal a soap dish out of the clubhouse and the metal detector stopped me. >> you're kidding. i would imagine a soap dish in that clubhouse is probably made of marble or granite. >> the clubhouses are like that. the bases are loaded

coverage gibbs at 6:30 with "o's xtra" and the game at 7:00. now for buck martinez and amber theoharis, jim hunter saying so long from tonight's telecast a masn presentation. let's head to the studio and rejoin tom davis and rick dempsey and "o's xtra". take it away, tom and rick. >> tom davis, rick dempsey. welcome to "o's xtra" presented by verizon fios. orioles lose to the florida marlins 5-2. jason berken got in trouble in the beginning of the game. >> you can't walk the first man of the game. that will always come back to haunt you. what's any rule of game? nothing good ever happens after a walk am two walks for berken score on the day. orioles lose 5-2. berk begin no have the that bad a night. he pitched tough tough through parts this have ballgame, but the walk did him in. >> go back and take a look at the highlights from tonight's game. we begin in the first inning because the marlins got on the board quickly in the florida first. hanley ramirez comes through with a two-run sing toll right center field to give the marlins a 2-0 lead. th

now, i look at conservative leadership with the senior communications fellow at the heritage foundation. this is about half an hour. >> >> cumming caution was one of the smartest things that i did. returning after graduated in hitting the pavement looking for that first job was very critical. you see behind me 3 statements with the clare booth institute. i would like to add focus on changing lives. we will talk about how each when you can impact your culture and her country's future. many times when we're at this age and are high -- in our lives, we felt uncertain about what are calling as -- our calling is. you're calling is to make a difference in the lives of people that are around you. when you do so, you are impacting the culture around here and the country at large. when the issues to focus on today is the notion of heroes. i have done a lot of writing and researching on this subject recently and i have to say that my generation pretty much shows you guys an apology. -- pretty much owes as an apology. in the media and culture, we have been feeding the pop culture. as a representat

this nominee served five years at the -- as a local prosecutor and practice law afor seven yeas at a private law firm. she will be ever mindful of the need to provide those in the courtroom with clear and practical decisions. more important, she will understand how supreme court opinion affects real human beings. as a trial judge, she directly faced innocent victims of crime , vicious perpetrators of crime and occasionally a wrongfully accused. she directly faced injured parties seeking civil address and several defendants who may have to make honest mistakes. she had to answer what is the right verdict? what is the right length of incarceration? what is the right level of damages? these are not easy decisions. i know that, because my husband was a state trial court judge for 16 years. trial court judges must be able to live with the justice they measure out. it takes more than an understanding of the law. it takes an understanding of people. judge sotomayor has a great understanding of both. i had the pleasure of meeting with her the day she fractured her ankle. i said to her, you a

here's nan dez at first. guzman lays down the -- hernandez at first. guzman lays down the bunt and the throw to third is in time. >> rob: no. >> johnny: so, harris forced at third. >> rob: this is a [bang]. play at third. -- bang, bang play at third. yes he did get him. >> johnny: he did, barely. these one away in the 8th. >> rob: i'm amazed with these reds. they want to go to third a soon as they catch a bunt. >> johnny: heads up play. he knew exactly where he wanted to go. >> rob: you have got to bounce off the mound as a pitcher. look a gun. >> rob: that looked 93 after that 68. >> johnny: he is ahead in the count. ryan zimmerman next. one down. hernandez at second. fouled off down to the right side of play. guzman at first. a 2-1 game. reds up by a run in the bottom of the 8th inning at nationals park. >> rob: the reds are 12th in fielding in the national league. they have committed 42 errors. the nationals are still first with 56 errors in 57 games. man that play to third, a couple of times has hurt us today. >> johnny: and the pitch. swung and fo

host: how you view where we are at at this moment in time? guest: i can ever recall a time when the president has faced more serious issues. you look at north korea and the threat that poses right now. you look at iran and the the middle east, then afghanistan, pakistan. i still think that the border is still the most dangerous place in the world. that is not to mention iraq or what is going on in this country. then you have the financial crisis we have been going through in this country. if there is any good news i think we may have reached a bottom. nobody knows for sure. you have these enormous programs that have been launched. the stimulus package, the help to general motors, the help to the banks, all of this. we are at the very beginning of solving these problems. it is a very serious time here. i cannot recall the time when there have been this many different problems that a president confronted when he got up and went to work every day. host: you cannot go to a news magazine rack or turn on the tv without seeing it barack obama. is he

daniel murphy now hitting at .247. he's trying to keep his job at first base. tries to convince the organization to they don't need to go out and make a trade for somebody the likes of aubrey huff. instead, use what they've got, murphy and tatis, and it was made rather clear that this three game set was going to be important in helping that decision along for the g.m. and the manager of the mets. >> jim: and he had a nice game last night. he had a sacrifice fly. really battled him. finally hit a line drive into right field for a sacrifice fly. you're two -- your two righties. both of them are just a little out of sync so far. >> gary: so far. murphy, and the reason we tell you that, because bass came in with the orioles with a 4-2 lead and surrendered it. >> gary: looks fastball, gets it. takes it to left field. reimold meanders over and puts it away. so murphy retired as johnson comes back to get him. >> jim: the one thing you're to the going oh get from daniel murphy is a home run guy like delgado. >> gary: a lot of work if he can do that consistently. >> jim

so at this point w

a single in his first at-bat. second at-bat not as productive. he struck out on three pitchers. ramirez expected to work out at dodger stadium on tuesday and wednesday before rejoining the dodgers on july 4. >> san francisco, a game and a half lead in the wild card race over st. louis. how about tim. what a night he would have facing pujols, bottom of the first. went down swinging. that would be the theme. bottom of the fifth, jason flared over the mound. athletic. makes the great catch, throws to it first. bottom of the eighth inning, 10-0 giants. the pitcher still on the mound. larue, down swinging, 8 ks, bottom of the ninth, mark derosa, flies out, 95 pitches, a complete game. 2:06. lincecum improves to 5-0. the giants continue to win without big offense. they score in double digits for the first time since may 11. but lincecum has been unbelievable in his last four starts. he's been limiting opponents to just a .197 batting average. >> the rays and blue jays opening a series north of the border. rays have won five straight. halladay returning to the mound after spending time

that's what he's an expert at doing. let's get the man approved tonight so he can go, leave, on an airplane to get over there and take care of the men and women. i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: corner tomorrow. he was a great player. he had a setback last year. he was playing well early. and if he had that surgery, i am anxious to see what he has left in the cannon. he had a pretty good arm as we know. >> the minnesota vikings have 4 quarterbacks on their roster. taveras jackson played well last season. sage rosenfels played 6 games and neither flynn or john day of the booty have-- john david booty have taken 1 snap. brett favre had more passing yards than the current vikings quarterbacks did last season. >> the only day to compare to winning the super bowl is the day when the super bowl winner grabs ahold of their super bowl ring. last night the steelers who beat the arizona cardinals were awarded their much deservedbling. >> last night the orlando magic

feel free to chuck at me whatever you want. the origins of this book really started five years ago when i was working on the lex column with some of you in the room who were there as well, and at one stage i was asked to try and do a quick sketch of what i thought were going to be the key themes going forward for lex to cover. so i started off listing things like telecoms, banks, etc., etc., and then i finally thought, hold on a sec, let's take a step back and look how lex is covering the financial world and corporate world in general and how that matches up to how the financial and corporate world looks. so i try to draw a map of the city of london and compare it to what the stories we were covering and was struck almost immediately by the fact that there was a dig discrepancy, that pretty much all the media was focusing on accessively on the equity markets and writing about foreign exchange, but there was this big wave of debt and derivatives which was pretty important for the city of london and wall street but which by and l

they're putting at minimum. at minimum you have to do these kinds of things. there may be other things beyond that that may be advisable, but the services task force has always been very conservative and always shoots towards a minimum. we're putting teeth in this bill for u.s. preventive task force. the recommendation in men 75. that's why we tlft for congress. if we decide in our collective judgment here based upon what the u.s. cancer society or the lung society or heart association says it is acceptable, we can change that. we, by law, under medicaid now you can get your ps attested if you're age 50. or you can get your mammograms if you have less than what the u.s. services task force and they're in that advisory capacity to give us that information and your best wisdom. congress can always decide to do it differently. they just give us the minimum. so that was that i also -- you mentioned the fact that there are hundreds of companies out there. i've seen a lot in my own state. there are tens of thousands out there that aren't. so that's why we need to pu

it also served on the commission looking at the shootings at virginia tech. what were the lessons you gained from that? guest: that horrible, horrible tragedy at virginia tech -- there are many, many dimensions to that tragedy. probably the one that is seared in my mind probably more deeply than any other is that there were so many visible signs and manifestations of this troubled young man's mental state, and for a variety of reasons. it just seemed that some people care, some people ignored, but there was not the wherewithal within the institution to deal with it. some were afraid of legal repercussions. it was really bizarre, some of the testimony that we heard. but at the end of the day, it was a very troubled young man who manifested this mindset on several other occasions, from a poor english professor who still blames herself for not doing more, which she should not. as i recall from the record, she did everything that she could within the establishment. i think to suggest that mental health challenges on our college campuses are greater than we thin

this means looking at crewmember commuting. if this means examining flight duty time issues, that is perfectly appropriate, but tied it to the commuting side of that equation. as long as any examination is based on science, not anecdote. each of these initiatives can and should be achieved in short order. we are looking forward to working with this committee, the faa, the ntsb, it in as cooperative a fashion as possible. i will be pleased to answer any questions. >> thank you very much. next, we would hear from mr. cohen. mr. cohen, you may proceed. >> chairman dorgan and members of the subcommittee, i am roger cohen, president of the regional airline association. i want to express our deepest sympathies to the lives of the passengers and crew of flight 3407 that were lost, and for the families affected by the crash. we deeply share in their grief. i also want to express today not only for our member airlines but for our 60,000 highly trained professionals, our total, unwavering commitment to safety. as we work towards ensuring
