don't miss this night at oriole park at camden yards. for your tickets at 888-848- bird or on-line at orioles.com. "field of dreams" one of the best baseball movies ever. nolasco has a 3-0 lead. orioles have three hits in the game. hefelix pie was caught trying to steal. the other hitter was erased on a double play ball. here is melvin mora taking a strike leading off in the fifth. >> buck: "field of dreams." kevin costner was in three of my favorite movies. "bill durham," "field of dreams," "dances with wolves." pretty good. >> jim: yeah, he knows what he's doing. "field of dreams," outstanding. >> buck: yeah, beautiful movie. have a catch. a lot of people have a question with that phrase. want to have a catch? that's what i used to say after my dad, hey, you want to have a catch, dad? >> jim: that's a tearjerker. mora, ground ball towards the hole. bonifacio has it, throws off balance and the bounce, safe at first base is melvin mora. that ball gets away from cantu, but no advancement for melvin who is on with a leadoff single. tonight

as you look at willingham at second and nieves over at first. and there once again is the veteran right-hander. breaking ball down low inside. it is 2-2. >> rob: you see, they don't want to let nick get his arms extended and hit it to left field. they are playing him to pull. >> johnny: runners in scoring position for cincinnati, 2-7. the nationals 0-6. shot down the right field line, a foul by about 5 feet. >> rob: they were pitching him to pull. he hit it down the right field line, johnny. come on nick. put it in play here. >> johnny: johnson checks his bat. two balls and two strikes to nick. and the reds with a 2-0 lead, we are in the last of the 6th inning. jared burton delivers. foul off the 1st base line. burton certainly not in the class of rhodes or cordero or weathers. but still, pretty impressive outings. >> rob: he is a nice bridge to the bridge for the closer. very solid bullpen. something that has been lacking in cincinnati for many years. >> johnny: johnson base hit to right! willingham around third. here comes the throw to the pla

he got good at saving fuel at pocono on sunday. the roush-fenway racing team cars have been heads above most recently. >> i think when you get into a situation and everybody runs well, and you go back with your expectations higher, it seems it always works out. i know michigan gives options to drivers, they've got three or four lanes and they'll use every one of them. in a year roush has struggled, each of their drivers has said so. they were really good at pocono. despite the fact that the results did not show it of because it ended under fuel mileage. all three of the big three of roush were up front all day. >> with nascar's new double-wide race starts should be interesting to see those on the michigan wide track. >> they're going to exploit that. if you can imagine being sixth in the old system where you lineup sixth. now you can be third on the outside. and you can take the lead going into turn three, because the car, you know, the track is so wide. so it's going to be a lot of fun to watch. >> it's a perfect track, there is s

while at the other end of it, he's on at first base, you we go cora -- get cora at the plate, .310 off left-handers. those are your eight and number nine and number one guys both of whom to with -- do well against the leftiies. >> jim: the reason for alex is basically he's a line drive hitter. he's not going to overswing. all the good left-handed hitters that hit left-handed pitchinghave in common is the front shoulder stays close so they can cover the plate. >> gary: he's got a base hit. markakis over to get it will hold the runner at second base. now there are two on with one away as the mets threaten to get back one or maybe both of those runs they gave up in the last half inning. >> jim: you can't come in throwing 87 miles per hour an hour if you're -- if you're a lefty to face lefty. you become too predictable especially if you throw a belt high pitch. cora was all over it. a veteran player taking advantage. castillo is 33. he just has to make better quality pitches. baez up again for the second time tonight. >> gary: martinez has drawn a walk and scored officially 0-2. two on, on

now the big pitch in the at-bat at 2-2. fouled back. >> buck: yeah, it is something he has done throughout his tenure here in the orioles. he has pitched to the oncorners, and he has good command. this is his 12th start. and in his first 11 starts, four times he has not walked a batter. the pitching coaches love that. you give your defense a chance to get into the game and it really sets the tone. when you're throwing strikes all the time, hitters expand their strike zone. >> jim: you saw rick kranitz looking skyward there. i don't think he was looking for divine intervention. he was probably looking at the scoreboard because the pitch count is mount there had and that scoreboard faces directly to the orioles' dug-out, so he can keep a gauge without having to look at the chart that is kept ton bench. another 2-2 pitch is bounced to first base. aubrey huff gets the hop and he'll go to the bag unassisted. koji was late getting over. no harm done. so a double and a man left. south beach in miami that's a popular spot t-birds h

it's right at giambi. he makes a terrible throw and cabrera is able to catch it and get his foot back to the bag but you have to turn that into two. look at the effort by cabrera. they are lucky they got one there. >> gary: that's a big play. one of those plays that changes the whole look of the inning. so, now, markakis on on a fielder's choice and here is aubrey huff, the designated hitter in the game. aubrey will take the pitch and that is in there for a strike. huff's numbers on the season, .268, 8 homeruns, 39 rbis. against the left handers, he has gotten over the .200 mark, patting .203 against left handers now. fouled trying back now. >> buck: aubrey huff has been swinging the bat better. he had a couple of good games in seattle and would have had three homeruns had it not been for the spacious ballpark. but even against the left handers, he has been hanging tough. he has hit in 9 of the last 12. >> gary: a great job in the 4 hole. kurt suzuki will hang on to that one. these a's have struggled, eigh

he at a hot shot right to him. went in the books at 4-3. he says i'm tired of hitting and getting thrown out. i might run to third the next time. challenge with that long throw. >> gary: and there goes the bat. foul ball. he shook the thumb on that right hand after that swing. and the bat went flying on it. still takes a very big cut at the plate. 3-2 count on him. even if he gets hold of one he can still send it a long way. 44th player to get 400 home runs. foul that one off. been a struggle at the plate for him. sitting .195 in 44 games. lowest mark in the american league for a regular position player. but i note again 27 rbis. there's another one. right to ryan roberts. takes the play. and he's retired. that's suzuki doing the

at home here at national's park. beginning at 6. 30 tomorrow night, byron kerr and ray knight.   be with us tomorrow night masn2. johnny holiday along with rob dibble. bob carpenter taking a couple days off and i'm glad to be working alongside the dib sister here in national's park in this 3-1 senate lead. and go to the bottom of the seventh. repair stop is retired in one pitch. >> rob: that good change-up you saw, down on the ground, a little 4 to 3. here is the pitch location the this 0-1 pitch right there, 1-0, excuse me. it's all about selling it with the arm speed. so, you know, very difficult. that might have even been a fastball because that was a change-up and the guy is heating it up. >> johnny: did you take long to learn one. >> rob: i never had one. i never learned one. >> johnny: you'd be pitching today yet if you had one. >> rob: maybe. ron ba loan, 16 strikeouts, in a nine-inning game with the reds. >> johnny: yeah, loose helping up. johnny cueto facing, now, anderson h

have just come back where they do a lot more active engineering to protect property dow we would look at as being in a vulnerable song so i think we are reaching the point where we come back and discuss reauthorization of the national flood insurance program and we look at the v-zones we are working under the current rules and regulations. but also looking at as we go forward is it time to recognize there are many places along the coastal communities that are going to face the same challenge in a disaster that we have to recognize if we are going to allow a repair why would a destroyed building not be the same factor and should we not be looking at if we can engineer a solution that keeps the public safe and reduces the future damages doesn't commit to new growth in these areas but allows the historical communities to rebuild as they were but better so they are not damaged i think that is something we have to ask ourselves as a country and this will be again to your leadership and through the process of congress looking at the realization that we want guidance on but i think we have to r

at the eradication initiative. on the right hand side some of the political bodies, ngos and others who played a critical role in the program of course, at the center you have partners in ministry of health that have over the last 20 years been responsible for coordinating the implementation of the eradication strategies. the strategies are fourfold, which you see here. consist of a base of routine immunization on which you conduct national immunization days and eventually mop up activities to interrupt the remaining chains of polio transmission. to give you a sense of the scale of the program that we are talking about from which i am going to take some of the lessons, this program has been running for nearly 20 years now. 20 and a half years actually. and it's operated in over 200 countries, over 20 million people have been involved in the eradication initiative in either distributing the vaccine, immunizing children or supporting it in other ways. and over 2 billion children have been immunized probably with clos

some 90-plus at-bats. got that one in, just challenged him with it. >> jim: there are times in a game, that was one of them, when you're mark hendrickson, you have to say, i have no place to put him, got to throw it to the middle. and a pretty good pitch to hit. fouled it back. >> gary: put it in the strike zone and hope. it's fouled off by cora. >> jim: mark does have the big curveball. he's got a little bit of a slurment probably his best off- speed pitch is his change-up. every pitch, all five of them have been fastballs. that's what happens. we saw brian bass get caught in that situation because he didn't command anything else. >> gary: cora will ask for the time-out. >> jim: see that number. >> gary: very peasht hitter. >> jim: look at him choking up. he's down on the bat a little bit. >> gary: the outfield is in and over. much the way they play castillo, only a few steps deeper. cora takes it and the game's tied on a bases loaded walk. so murphy will score. cora will be credited with the rbi. and tha

dunn will stop at 3rd 3rd. elijah dukes is putting on a power display today. >> rob: how do you like me now? looks like a hanging curveball. it is. 85 miles per hour north on the pitch track. it's a double off the wall. second one of the day. >> bob: the ball got out there so quickly. adam dunn who could see off the bat it wasn't going to be caught couldn't get beyond 3rd

and coverage at 7:00. brad bergesen will be on the mound for the orioles. >> i am glad to see brad bergesen back out on the mound. you know it's at least going to be a quick ballgame. he's been pitching so well. that sinker is just the best pitch that i've seen in a long time. a lost movement. he should have won his last five ballgames, but he got a couple of no decisions mixed in there. he has won his last two. i'm really happen to -- happy to see him on the mound. i think this will give the orioles an advantage. >> nationals, it will be ross detwiler. >> detwiler as you remember a guy who was drafted in the first pick after matt wieters two years ago in the draft. he's with the nationals right now. pitching in a lot of tough luck. he actually pitched his best ballgame against the orioles a couple weeks ago. he went six innings. only gave up one hit and one run. did not get the decision in that game -- in that game. this will be a nice matchup of two very talented pitchers. good left-hander. good right-ha

take a look at the speed of bonifacio. johnson is aware of that, but the throw was in the dirt and fortunately bonifacio never picked up on where the ball was. but now you have to keep him clots at first. >> jim: and the winning run is on with one down and the dangerous hanley ramirez who is 2-4, including a grand slam. the official scorer has still not yet posted the scoring on that play, but nonetheless, bonifacio is on. >> buck: it has got to be a base hit. there is no chance to make a play on it. i don't think you can charge johnson or aubrey huff with an error. >> jim: there is a strike at the knees. bonifacio on the bases. 12-17. >> buck: remember, gaughan is -- zaun is in the game now as matt wieters was pinch hit for and so he is back behind the plate. >> jim: 6-6, the bottom of the ninth. ground ball slowly hit to second. roberts goes to second. out there and just in time. brian roberts with a smart play and maybe a gamble with bonifacio running. gonzales is going to come out to argue. >> buck: well, the advantage

tavares on at first. and we have got two down, that will bring up jerry hairston much  he flew out to ce out looking in the third, got a free pass in the fifth and singled to left center his last time up. mike mcdougall works for the nats here in the ninth inning, a 3-2 game. the nats have one shot coming up in the bottom of the ninth. >> rob: i've told you before and bob this, i'm not a big fan of throwing the ball around the infield with two outs. it goes way back to high school even before. got two outs, get the hitter, out of the inning. that ball keeps going to third. rather have him on first than third. past ball. anything can happen. didn't get the high strike, the low strike. >> johnny: to the second and top of the ninth is over. two to the bottom of the ninth innings and see if the nats can tie it up or take the lead and win this baby. we'll be back in just a moment. at pnc, taking the long view is how we help you take the right path. even to change i

him at 1:00 at night. thank you. [applause] >> thank you so much, ron. i know you have a country to run. thank you for fighting the good fight. on behalf of democrats everywhere, thank you for making the government work again, rahm. >> the senate health committee continues work on health-care legislation tomorrow morning. live coverage is on c-span3 at 10:00 eastern. >> president obama wednesday announced the extension of some benefits to the domestic partners of federal employees. this new memorandum stopped short of full health-care coverage. here is the president announcing the changes at the white house. >> ok, today i am proud to issue a presidential memorandum that paves the way for long overdue progress and the pursuit of equality. many of our government cost hard-working and dedicated and patriotic public servants -- many of our government's hard- working and dedicated and patriotic public servants have been denied rights for one simple reason, the people they love our of the same sex. currently, f

mets at home lead tampa bay 4- 0. atlanta, 6-0 at boston. josh bard down the line. what do you think? it's just to the left of the foul pole. at the .336 mark, he was flirting with his second home run of the year. >> rob: carlson tried to get this ball down broadway. it's a ball down and in to the sweet spot. josh bard swing. he just got lucky with that one. did he go? yes, he did. james hoye punches him out from first. one out here in the sixth. let's see what the guys behind the plate called it. >> rob: very good 3 2-ball. the dorks behind home plate, yep, they rung him up. >> bob: oh, my gosh. >> rob: thought it was funny when the yankees were playing blue jays newspaper toronto. now you're starting to follow the blue jays around with those outfits? >> bob: i'm not laughing at them. i'm laughing at you watching them. >> rob: what? because i'm getting irritated? >> bob: i love this. >> rob: i wouldn't mind if they were ringing up the other team. now they're ringing up our guys. look, now they even have -- they have ball bags. the guy pulled a ball out of his bag a

short lead by nick at first. that's up and in. >> rob: you don't need to bunt if he's going to walk you. >> bob: this is one of those situations where if somebody first-pitch swings, you would just look at them and say what are you thinking? alberto gonzalez for the pitcher two spots away. >> rob: what is he like 5-5 as a pinch-hitter? >> bob: we'll look it up. >> rob: you haven't gotten that far? >> bob: no. >> rob: oh, man. >> bob: gorman is not having a good night. >> rob: i'm telling you, bob. look at this. this pitch is up and away. >> bob: are you kidding me? >> rob: i mean, goodness gray mice. s -- >> bob: last two strike calls not even close. 1-1 to zimmerman. >> rob: come on, zim, get mad.  >> bob: winning run nobody out. ryan looking to protect on 1-2. >> rob: that was one of those -- >> bob: [ indiscernible ] >> rob: smack that guy. >> bob: have umpires ever been thrown out of a game? this might be the time. the ones in the seats. 2-2 now. zimmerman on a brea

i was at your second one. [laughter]. >> rob: when you think about it back-to-back no-hitters in the major league. you don't do that this day and age. >> johnny: yeah. >> rob: worlds apart between high school and pro. that cracks me up with the stats people trying to talk about this guy can pitch -- how can you make that correlation. >> johnny: up the middle. nice job of nieves. went right over the shoulder of micah owings. we will take a look at this play again. >> rob: this is a jammed shot right here. nieves gets jammed on a very good inside running fastball. gonzalez make as fine play at short right there. had to stop himself and the quickest way to stop at this level, taught to many guys, you slide. you see guys do it coming around third. 3rd base coach telling you to hold up, you slide. you try to stop and the momentum you can twist an ankle, hurt a knee. do a lot of sliding drills. >> lannan goes opposite field and he is out. that takes care of the nationals here in the bottom of the second. we go to th

if you look at the stock market chart, if you look at what happened family incomes, if you look at any measure of the economy in the 1970's under nixon, ford and carter the economy was just a disaster. these stocks in real terms, was it something like 50%? [inaudible] that is a pretty bear market for corn of the things that annoys me to no end in the current economic discussion is when people say, barack obama has inherited the worst economic history since the great depression. that is flat out false. what ronald reagan inherited was substantially worse than what we are in now and the reason for that is one barack obama at-- and i'm not trying to discount, we are in a big economic called but what obama has inherited is a nine month recession. what reagan inherited was a 14 year essentially recession where the economy just kept going down and down and down. we talk about how the supply-side ideas that reagan brought into the white house in 1981 helped turn the economy around, the two pivotal things that happened in the early 1980's or arthur laffer's ideas about tax rate reductions in t

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

you have wieters at 22. bergesen at 23. 23, yes, they worked together in the minor leagues, but this is the big leagues. but you have to take your game plan and acertain what he has and doesn't have. >> jim: popped him up. aubrey huff mos in on it. he has the play and that is it for the out. two left and the middle of the second and a 1-1 game. i used t. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way. >> back at the yard, it loo like the orioles are very close to signing their top draft pick from thissier's draft. he was at the yard to receive a physical and he had a chance to walk around the yard, take in a little batting practice and meet some of the guys he ver

you look at somebody -- >> host: he looks at my hand gessner you look at some indifferently. it comes to that level of a patriot, that brave for his country and his people. so it really does, you step back. we're not talking about prescription drug coverage for seniors or something, you know, or the issues are different in israel, but also the leaders frequently come out of an express which is different. but he would talk about pulling. and he talked about he was trained by, he went with the french through the alps. he said what i learned is it was impossible to march from where he went through the alps in winter. and get from one to the other. he said, but the way you do it is that at each step to reduce your risk in order, as long as you know you're going to a bold solution. select youth bowling. ghetto, you try to reduce your steps on the small steps. so you are able to make the big step. and for him it was just a tool that he used that he had a vision of where he wanted to go and he wanted to move the public. as i said i learned more from him, and the most important piece

but as we look at the various -- as we look at t.a.r.p. or as you look at it, i would like to get an understanding -- i know that these things evolve. and there's fine print in bills and people are able to be very entrepreneurial by taking advantage of a few words in a bill and starting to do a lot of other things with it. which i think we've all learned a lesson from in many, many ways. but is it your perfective that with these t.a.r.p. funds your primary goal is -- is in stabilizing the financial system, investing in things that will have value and that will return taxpayer -- taxpayers their money? >> sir, as the law states, the financial stability program is intended to improve the stability of the financial system while protecting the interest of taxpayers. i think it's very important that i, if i'm confirmed for this responsibility, are mindful of both of those conditions. and i think it's early to say what the eventual returns will be to the american public. i can assure you that if i'm confirmed, i'm going to work very hard to make

by the way, grandstand seating available day of game only at the team box store office starting at 4:35 p.m. you can call the nats at 888- 632-nats for more info. it is time to get your blue jays tickets and get them fast. scott rolen, top of the eighth. blue jays leaving after sunday's game. sox in for three tuesday, wednesday, thursday. rolen led off the sixth wing with a base hit to left. heor

he has gone at least 5 innings. his ball moves all over the place, garza. 11-9 last year with 188 innings. he has given up a homerun in every one of his last 6 outings. but he is a guy that throws the ball through the corners with a lot of velocity. straight over the top. nice guy to hit if you like four-seam fastballs. >> byron: the nationals face the world championing in the phillies and now they get the a. l. champions. stammen should be loose and ready to go. >> ray: always feels better to win. that flight will be really good. some guys can relax, smile. you know and play some cards and just in some cases maybe just get some rest. it is hard to rest when you lose all the time. >> sights and sounds, ray good job, >> ray: thank you. >> the reds get ready -- the nationals get ready for the tampa bay rays. big come back victory, the 11th of the season for the national s s today as they beat cincinnati. the final 3-2. we will see you in tampa bay next for the nats. >> we're going to send you out to toronto right now.

we have to look at these in real time. at the previous hearing we held on aviation safety, one of the questions i raised was how many times does the inability to pass a test be allowed before his three strikes or whatever the number is, and you are out? would anyone here want to go into major surgery and have a physician who flunked his tests five times before they squeezed him through the operation and put life in his hands. i think there is a point in time when you have to say if you can't masters this in two or three times, find something else to do. people love to fly, i know a lot of pilots, i sat second seed and small airplanes, flying is a glamorous job, it really is, i don't know how it is in commercial operations when you are sitting in seats to fly back home, or otherwise away from home, but there's a point in time, captain prater, when you say this is not -- the simulators replicate emergency situations. >> very much so. you can do a really good job training for emergencies. it doesn't replicate the fact that wh

josh bard at third. harris at second with a double. anderson hernandez at first. infield obviously in and we'll see if jordan zimmermann can make some kind of contact here and get himself and his team the go-ahead run. >> rob: well, some kind of good contact. you don't want to night a double play right here and kill the rally. >> bob: ball one. falling behind in the count might help that. >> rob: maybe try to slap one between first and second. there's a huge gap between hill and overbay. >> bob: overbay is playing well off the line because of that. right side, zimmermann is really going to have to hurry. he is safe! >> rob: great job. >> bob: gets the rbi and the nationals take the lead! good hustle by the rookie pitcher. he hit it softly enough. >> rob: well, maybe hitting it to the right side is what the doctor ordered right here. he does hit a two-hopper to hill. hill makes a great flip over to scutaro, but that's just great hustle by a young jordan zimmermann out of the box gets himself an rbi and his team the lead. >> bob: he showed some athletic ability righ

it's at least a decade. but we're giving it a new cover and rolling it back out there with an update. >> who's dominique la-pierre. >> dominique is a very well-known author who has a author of new york bestsellers behind him and his book is the rainbow in the night. it covers the whole apartheid period and all the turmoil that that country went through to become the nation that it is today. >> what kind of books do you look for at da capo? one have >> one of our missions the books fit in our core areas where we know we're going to be able to find successful readers. it's a lot of military history for us. general history. a little politics and a little pop culture, music history. >> well, speaking of pop culture what is this book? >> this is a book on sonic youth called goodbye 20th century. it's very favorably in hardcover and we brought back the hard cover. >> it's about the band and the whole grunge music movement. >> melissa warren is vice president of da capo press. >> the organization of american histor

we were not doing it at all. we've turned that company around to a very reputable mortgage lender doing the right things. >> but you had to absorb all of their losses? >> no, ma'am. we -- in the no, ma'am, in the n there's an accounting thing where you mark the assets down before you buy them. >> that leads to my next question. it has been stated that the bank of america in 2008 conspired with merrill lynch in a sweetheart deal to give out exorbitant bonus to merrill executives totalling over $4 billion. that's with a b. in december 2008. soon after, bank of america got major infusions from taxpayer t.a.r.p. money but in 2008 on its federal taxes, bank of america, though it earned $4.4 billion that year, apparently paid just $120 million in taxes and deferred $5 billion in taxes for 2008. some people are saying that bank of america acquiesced to the merrill bonuses because otherwise all of bank of america's 2008 earnings would have been consumed with bonuses for merrill. how do you respond to that? >> well, the t

t look at wimbledon. okok at england. look at mother nature. back to tennis. safina, the top seed, she's melt ed in the three grand slamin finals in which she's appeared, including the french open justig last month. t in this match against rosanna de los rios, no problem. other scores, svetlana kuznetsova, who won at the french open, straight-sets winner, as well. most of the seeds still alive in the women's draw. theabout the men? the top-seeded american, andy roddick taking on a big russian, igor kunitsyn. rod ache two-time runner up herm has set point. in fact, triple set point. a unleashes a powerful backhand. takes first set 6-4.ackh second set, already in the third at 3-3. kunitsyn puts up a pretty good i fight. a-rod goes boris becker, buts it's not enough. didn't matter, roddick 18 ace.ug broken just one. showing the hustle a nd the court coverage has a few people believing he might be able to win this thing. roddick just too much for the russian. he plows through the roundhe three.ne >> i knew i was getting thee better of him. i knew i was getting a l

we didn't show up at all. but the number one thing they have to do is find the way to get dwight howard the ball, especially in transition before the lakers set their defense and the half court, talk to the shooters, hey, guys, we only made 27% of our two-point shots. it would be nice if you guys can make a few shots. on the defensive end, that's where they're really in trouble because they didn't do a good job of guarding the post-ups, especially gasol, luke walton posted up, lee, kobe bryant, bynum, odom. they got outscored severely in the paint. so they didn't do a good job with their post-ups and they got to do a good job on kobe bryant, especially when he's running pick-and-rolls. >> how do you stop bryant? what would your game plan be? >> well, acouple of adjustments here. first of all, they got to do a better job of denying kobe the basketball are instead of allowing him to catch the basketball so easily. on his penetration, get some help, help and recover. they were recovering pretty slow. maybe give k

so i think at the end we have to look at whether or not to achieve those goals and we think a public health insurance option is in the realm of the. >> i would like a few minutes on the cooperative, and i know mike, you're an expert on cooperatives since your work in florida is with the orange growers and other cooperatives in america. i'm joking with you. to i thought you could give us at least, i think we ought to spend at least two minutes on it because it is, senator conrad maginot brought up from the dakota and i think in you give us a few minutes no. >> not particularly, i actually would rather have one of my colleagues here who is closer to that conversation, but let me set it up in the sense with a bridge to the concerns to many of the people here that i think probably you are going to take is doing just a second, ron, so what about mental health in all this. i'm really struck as a comparison with 1993 and today the contrast between we know now that that wasn't going to happen on the one hand. on the other hand, we had a task force led by mrs. gore that was focusing 100% on m

just look at the alternative. the alternative would mean we have a long inquiry, lasting years, where everybody would revolt -- where everyone would be represented by lawyer and i think that's not the way to learn the best lessons from this conflict. >> of the events of the iranian relations over the weekend will demonstrate -- every in elections over this week and will demonstrate how fragile this has become. the plans and resources exist for british military greengage meant should the iraqi government ask for it? -- do the plans and resources exist? >> we have signed an agreement with the iraqi government about what support we can give them in training, what naval support, what help in the short, medium and long term. it means there is a very significant reduction in troops, the early very few british soldiers on the soil, but the arrangements we have with the iraqi government will be similar to the bilateral relationship their strong and other parts of the region. >> i fully understand it wouldn't be appropriat

this point we are looking at two factions that are at war that are both based on the destruction of something rather than the creation of something. i don't think that hamas or fatah have put together a platform that chile talks about what a future palestinian state living the look like and that is one of the main reasons when we see them in the position they are today. >> a question right over there. >> just to step back for a second, when you were discussing at the united states policy vis-a-vis fatah and propping them up, as you know both of the previous administration and the current administration one of the episodes of success that every policymaker can point to is the mission by it lieutenant-general keith data and to provide security of my training, and coordination for the palestinian forces under president abbas and prime minister fayad. considering we are actively training and least one faction to be properly professional and paramilitary outfit, since that is an assigned that has minority support among palestinian people and on the ground hamas mesa big deal at of the ar

baltimore at philadelphia. they just can't win at home. >> guzman lays one up the middle . >> how about your scouting report on ricky the rookie. nine home runs and curveball the number two his best pitch. he will change speeds with it, but he can also give up the long ball. nine strikeouts against the phillies in seven innings last outing. >> johnson has had a great series, five for seven, an rbi, four walks. nick stepped out of bed this morning and is on base, the on base percentage .427. >> prostate cancer awareness day with our blue wristbands. >> no blue bats, though. >> two balls. good eye by nick. it was a 38 pitch first inning, romero was warmed up and sitting on the bench. looks like he's stiffened up a little bit. >> batting .318, number six in the league with walks. that's got irritate somebody. 4-run lead, base hit and a walk. he continues to get on base like crazy. it started with an intentional walk in new york the other night, and then he kept getting on base and getting on base friday, saturday,

reid: at 11:00 today there will be a vote on the nomination of mr. koh, the attorney for the department of state. i tell all senators i had a conversation with the republican leader today. we're doing our best to move to a couple of appropriation bills. the first one online is the legislative branch appropriation bill. the next is homeland security. we hope we can get on those. the republican leader said he would do his best to help us to that. i hope that, in fact, is the case. we'll keep members advised as to what we're going to do for the rest of the day. the presiding officer: under the previous order the leadership time is reserved. under the preefs order the senate will proceed to consider the following nomination with the -- which the clerk will report. the clerk: nomination: department of state, harold koh of connecticut to be the legal adviser of the department of state. the presiding officer: under the previous order the time until 11:00 a.m. the time will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. a senat

sure we'll look at it. thank you very much. i yield back the rest of my time. >> now we'll hear from the gentleman from california. >> thank you, mr. chairman. when we look at the factors that created this economic catastrophe here, i don't think anybody says there was a sole cause. most economists believe one of the major causes besides fannie mae and freddie mac one of the major cause was the fed fund's rate in europe and here in the united states, the central banks setting a negative interest rate when adjust ford inflation for four years running. there's no way that wouldn't cause a housing bubble. but the question about the involvement in fanny and freddie purchasing subprime, purchasing the loans and the instruments that, otherwise, would not maybe find ready buyers out there, that is unique. and that is a part of their role as government-sponsored enterprises, really, that they evolved into. as i said originally in '89, they wouldn't go near a lot of these practices and especially wouldn't go near th

throw to second by wieters, the tag, out at second base. so there you go, wieters catches his first of the day, as anderson hernandez goes. and it appeared to me he had a pretty good jump. what did matt wieters do, pretty big lead and he takes a look. that's a little surprising. just a strong, accurate throw, good footwork, nice tag right there. >> rob: right down on the base which is what you're supposed to do. nice throw. >> jim p.: i played with mark, he would just drop the glove. that's what you try to do. get it down there as quickly as you can. >> jim h.: yesterday he did not play. so he was out working on the mechanics, the footwork, the throws. today in his first game back he catches the first potential base stealer of the day as anderson hernandez is gunned down. >> jim p.: you see how smoother he was today than he was down against florida? >> rob: that's not an easy throw. he's got to step outside to the left side of the hitter, with a lefty up there to throw to his throwing side. if there's a right-handed hitter, he just steps ou

if you look at what we are good at, as a law-enforcement agency, we are good and it interrogation, developing sources. we are good at wiretaps. the same type of thing that is done by nsa. last is surveillance. what we do in all of those irina's is collect information. in the past, there is the mentality of collecting evidence, the fact is you are gathering information. you have a much broader view of the gaps that you are missing in terms of identifying things down the road. what we would need to do if you use the intelligence community jargon, we have not done well in the past to understand that our domain, understand what we know, identify gaps in what we know and then having it wrapped up in one organization, gives you a am much broader capability to identify the threat, build a gap to that threat, and where appropriate, investigate. we as an organization believe strongly as a principal that we are there to protect civil liberties, and the privacy rights of individuals. this is inculcated to every agent coming out of quantitate -- quantico. we are utilizing intelligence, and our organizati

you will find that and more at c-span.org. now in a look back at a 45 minute portion of the oral argument in ricci v destefano when it was argued in december, 2007. judge sotomayor was joined by two other judges in deciding the case. >> kelso, i am trying to figure out what cause of action you are directing to what defendant? who are you suing for what? >> this is against the city of new kevin. >> title seven is against the city because it is the employer. title 7 against the city alone. what do you have against anybody else? >> it is against decisionmakers. >> all those involved? they are involved in the action. >> i think there are only three board members that you charge. three board members? >> the two. >> then you have the mayor and the two executive officers, correct? >> the former chief executive officer was there. the chief civil service examiner. she is not named as a defendant. >> the problem with your 1983 cause of action -- do you have any proof that anybody certified this list or did not certify it? >> who survive

but one in seven perished at valley forge. another thing that i think i discovered in writing this book was that while we know of the suffering of american troops, i found that our enemies, those who fought for the british during this war also suffered at times. and, in fact, about the death rate for those who soldiered for great britain was just about the same proportionately as it was for the americans. about one in four who fought under the british flag died. that includes a british soldiers, german soldiers, the hession's, and also americans who fought for the british. a great many loyal is or tories soldiers for great britain and died fighting for great britain during this war. in fact, though we don't tend to remember it, much today, there was a point in 1780 when there were actually more americans fighting with the british army men were members of the continental army under general washington. if you add together the number of americans who died and the number who died on the british side during this war, and look at it

so guzman batting at .327, on base average at .343. home plate umpire, joe west, tight little zone to start things off. joe west is one of the deans of umpiring in major league, crew chief in his 32nd year. paul nart, paul schneider and paul rapuano. the rest of the crew. >> rob: he can go deep in the ballgame. >> bob: guzman only walked five times this year. >> rob: you can hear the glove popping over our mikes, he throws low 90s, mid-90s, but he will throw a lot of fastball. he does not even believe that he needs to throw a lot of offspeed stuff. he likes to attack hitters. >> bob: how refreshing is that? >> rob: it's fun for us to watch the young kid, could watch him all night. as i told you, that altercation with dioner navarro made him think more about being a team player. here is belt high, 95, you won't catch up with that. >> bob: 3-2 to guzman and he lines it in left center for a base hit. guzman now is now 10 for his last 28. and we have talked about this on a number of owe cases. guzman has not scored many first-inning runs o

if you look at a dollar at i do not know i have a dollar. [laughter] if you have one in your pocket read what it says that the top. see that? i will give it to the doctor here see that? >> he is testing me. >> the federal reserve note to? >> if you like this and want to turn it into the government what will they give you? >> it will not be gold or silver. >> it will be another one of these. [laughter] it may have a different serial number but it used to be you could get gold. it was a gold certificate now it is simply a promise of the i know you with the federal government with that in mind they can print all of those they want to so they run the printing press of the treasury wants money so it whips up a bunch of treasury bills and notes and long-term short-term debts and they sell them into the fed and they take the cash and pay the bills of the government. that is how it works. if they need more cash they print more. that is a good deal. just crank it up. that is fine as long as they keep that under control. it has already gotten under co

brooks was at the national conference of the american advertising federation as the keynote speaker at the oak the new york times" luncheon. this is 20 minutes. >> i never get tired of looking in that. it is fun to be cool. good afternoon. we are about to hear from one of the nation's most respected and well-liked drugless. he certainly has a lot to talk about these days. -- well-liked journalists. he must occasionally wondered why he campaigned so hard for the job. moments after he took the oath, president obama had to contend with a sharp downturn in the economy, rising unemployment, and a financial system that need a lot of help, to say the least. there were problems beyond our shores like iraq, afghanistan, and north korea. prognosticators have been saying this would be an extraordinary decade, and it appears they are right. while it is impossible to predict what will happen next, david brooks, and op-ed columnist for "the new york times," will provide us with his insights on politics in the age of obama. let me offer some background. before joining the "times" he worked for "the w

it is swamped by the fact that at least when you look at diabetes care, it looks like again and again, minority patients, because of the way they live, providers are having real trouble delivering high quality care. >> the right way to clarify this in terms of full spectrum, there are a variety of issues, we have to not find the unilateral or silver bullet solution. if we look at the data, cultural confidence is very important. if you look at the full spectrum of data, we find much of what dr. chandra and peter have published, to understand there are quality of care issues in terms of delivery care, but if it was just a linear situation where it was just that, as dr. chandra pointed out, it would be 60/forty, 100% correlation. to understand the importance of workforce diversity and all of that is truly what we're trying to get at in terms of understanding the disparity. that is some of the work that dr. chandra and peter have published have been instrumental in understanding the rules of geography and the full spectrum of datapoint to other factors which are important and cultural com

magazine's senior editor at 23. he recounts his relationship with the conservative magazine's founder william f. buckley, jr., whom at one time deemed mr. brookhiser his successor only later to change his mind. the manhattan institute sponsored this event and the harvard club in new york city hosted it. it's 50 minutes. >> this is the first time i've given a book talk where half the people in the room are in the index. laugh layoff [laughter] >> you all looked at the index. yeah, you did. you really did. let me begin at the beginning. i met bill buckley by writing for him. i grew up in new york, a suburb of rochester, a midsize upstate city with my parents and my older brother, bob. in the fall of 1969, i was a freshman in the local public high school. i didn't know anybody who went to private ones. my brother was a junior at yale. every weekend the school year since he had gone away to college i wrote him on a small black metal typewriter that had belonged to mom, a letter rehearsing the events of the week. basketb

. >> was -- what restraints are on at this point diplomatic route to being pursued? has there been a rebuttal of that? is there a lack of communication in response or is there some indication of this opening in the near-term? >> i think there has been no lack of communication of our concern and what we are prepared to do. north korea has been listening. we have some degree of confidence. so far we have had no effective response from north korea other than its fair assertion in about a month ago before their nuclear test that they were going to test another nuclear device because the u.n. security council had failed as they had demanded to apologize to north korea for its earlier actions. but so far there has not been any demonstrated willingness to engage with the international community either through the u.n. or directly to this ex-parte process. >> what if this particular round of sanctions it elicits even further provocative response? >> well, obviously we are prepared to respond appropriately and i am really not at this time tables to go much beyond that. as i s

it seemed to be a good idea at the time. of course, 20 years later it was an embarrassment for rumsfeld to have those pictures circulating of him shaking hands with saddam hussein. >> host: you have tottoson your book in the oval office, the picture here of secretary of state colin powell and national security speiser condoleezza rice. what was secretary rumsfeld relationship with those two? >> guest: his relations were strained with both. particularly, on policy questions. and personal terms, he could be very engaging, courteous and so on. he would-- but there were tremendous attend-- tensions between rumsfeld's pentagon and pol pot state department on a broad range of foreign-policy and national-security issues, and there was a lot of sort of gamesmanship, a lot of needling. rumsfeld beaston needle powell at national security council meetings. rumsfeld would pick on powell's pronunciation of the capital of afghanistan, telling him he was putting the accent on the wrong syllable. powell, no slouch himself to try to get back
