team usa holds on to beat spain. they'll meet brazil in the finals. >> so take a look at the numbers, and the numbers say it all. the united states upset spain in one of the biggest wins in the history of the united states soccer. and spain, 15-match win streak. it was the longest in international soccer. they were the only team in the tournament not to allow a goal. usa scored two. and it's united states first ever appearance in the finals of the confed cup. former usa star, john harks, gives us his analysis. >> usa with an excellent victory today. an unexpected victory against spain, 2-nil in the semifinal. altadore getting the first goal, and dempsey getting the second. if are me, it was a better performance in terms of individual sacrifice on the field. the u.s. needs players to come up big. landon donovan, josie, and tim howard in the goal, excellent defending when they needed to against the no. 1 team in the world. the unexpected win, but the u.s. are through to the finals, what a great victory. thanks, john, w

has shocked spain. and maybe the rest of the worldr too. >> indeed they did.hey sunday 2:00 eastern, 11:00 a.m. pacific on espn, the united states will play for its first international title of any kindt in soccer or as they call it the rest of the world football. alexi lalas, u.s. soccer hall of famer, played on two world cuphu teams for the united states. here to break down what happened to the u.s. and what his prospects are against brazil which overcame south africa. haka and robino. kaka has an opportunity. >> the south african goalkeeper was all over everything. south africa had the better of h the plays for me in the first half. 0-0 at halftime.>> second half, 81st minute. anne minutes left in regulation. donny alves comes in and makes magic work. >> you don't necessarily think of brazil in terms of free kick. you think free flowing.ree but he can hit a free kick. check this out. boom. thank you have much, five minutes of work. >> that's as effective as you get.m has nothin beckham has nothing on

but in spain i'd like to confirm something. it's my understanding, if you would please, sir, it's my understanding in spain when they put on their tax and cap or tax -- cap and trade policy a number of years ago, they touted it as creating green jobs and -- mr. akin: i think -- go ahead, congressman. mr. broun: the point is, they talked about creating green jobs. just recently one of their, i think it's members of parliament be was over here talking to the opportunities society, i don't know if you were there, but he said for every single green job that was produced in spain, they lost 2.2 jobs. the green jobs that were created were temporary jobs. the jobs that were lost were permanent jobs. industrial jobs. and that's what i kind of recall. is that correct? am i just -- mr. akin: reclaiming my. that's exactly what he said. that made common sense to me because when you go back to this keynesian economic scheme, what they would argue would be, hey, we just took all this tax money and we hired these people. so when we hired some

>> as far as i have looked at and purely as a research interests not as a buyer, spain is in the real estate problem or they are huge, the real-estate prices in the united states is quite modest compared to what is happening there. for example, the city of valencia and the south, apartments on the coastline that went for something like 300,003 years ago and you have 100,000 euros now, but yes. >> it sounds nuys. >> i don't know how the expense of the following tickets to spain are. but a remarkable thing is that none of the spanish bankers are in problems and it is certainly a remarkable because you'd expect such huge real-estate prices to translate itself almost automatically in a huge banking crisis which is totally not the case and essentially as far as i looked there were two things that happened in the last seven or eight years in spain. first of all, you certainly have the balance that it bangs created to do a lot of strange things. the bank of spain already in 2001 sent to the banks i'm going to put it a little bit plainly now, if you do that it is okay for us, but we consolida

from spain who has been in the middle of -- spain embraced the green country, they want to be the leader in green energy for the world, the industrialized world. so they set about doing that and they built a bunch of wind chargers and they raised the cost of their electricity. they became the leaders in renewable energy and the industrialized world. they also became the leaders in unemployment at 17.5%, the leaders in the increase in utility bills, 20% to residents, but 100% increase for industry, for electrical bills, and even then, this is over a three-year period of timex even then they couldn't keep up with the -- period of time, even they they couldn't keep up with the cost of electricity so they had to bond them out on the financial market, didn't have the money to pay the bills, so they pledged the full faith in credit to later on pay off these bonds to the federal government which means the cost of green energy in spain was being passed down to the grandchildren. they couldn't even pay their electrical bills in this time. so they lead the world in unemployment, 17.5%, they create

well, today the unemployment rate in spain is 17.5%. as mr. scalise mentioned, for every job that's been gained in so-called green job, again i'll get to that in a moment as to what a green job i think is supposed to be, there's been a loss of 2.2 real jobs. and i can assure you, mr. speaker, in the state of louisiana and surrounding states that the jobs that we have today that comes from the oil and gas industry are very significant jobs. they carry benefits. they carry pay easily in the 50,000 to 100,000 range. and the so-called green jobs that are discussed, if you look at spain and their experience, what they found was 90% of the green jobs were implementation jobs. that is construction. and of course once the construction or implementation period is over, that job goes away. and so there's only left remaining 10% of the total green jobs that even become permanent jobs. but then if you look further underlying that, mr. speaker, what you find is that the green jobs are really a pass-through of taxpayer money into the system and then as payr

spain and other european countries are hoping to get u.s. taxpayer-funding for high speed rail and related infrastructure. at the very same time washington is busy dismantling the leading sectors of u.s. industry, are ruining the livesíj of workersd communities who could easily do it themselves. it's pretty hard to have a more damning indictment of the economic system that's been constructed by state corporate managers. surely, the auto industry could be reconstructed to produce what the country needs using its highly skilled work force. [applause] >> but that's not even on the agenda. it's not even being discussed. rather, we'll go to spain and we'll give them taxpayer money for them to do it, what we destroy in the capacity to do it here. it's been done before. so during world war ii, it's kind of a semi command economy. government-organized economy. that's what happened. the industry was reconstructing for the purposes of the war dramatically. it not only ended the depression but it initiated the most spectacular period of growth in eco

porter spain trinidad, at the summit of the americas -- port- of-spain, trinidad, president obama promised to take steps in that direction. he showed us a grasp of the complexity of the problem. but all i am asking here is that the american people understand that the people of central america and the people of colombia are paying a very heavy price because we refuse to reduce our demands for drugs. and this is tearing apart countries like mexico and what ramallah and other countries. host: california is next. good morning, diane. caller: good morning. long time no talking. glad to talk to you. and the morning to ambassador white. i tell you, i have to get my own red zone -- i was put on hold and then i guess my cell phone dropped. host: i am glad you made it through. go-ahead with one of your questions or comments. one of our lawyer viewers. caller: i am a supporter of hillary clinton and i am a longtime democrat and voted for bill clinton and voted for him and i am part of his library in little rock, arkansas. i heard everything that ambassador white has said. so, basically it is just a b

you have garrett to the us in spain. i remember in 1975 when i was very young as franco was about to die clutching the left elbow up saying something they were detained and anarchist in barcelona. you shot at them in germany and you guillotined us in france like to he tried to avenge by killing people which is not good, but what you can never do is extinguished the roots of anarchism. there are too deep. of course, he was wrong. he was wrong about that in that for a couple reasons. anarchism is still terribly born in places where the impact of this day was seen as an imposition on the local folks paris summit once said that a language is a dialect with a provo army. witness catalonia and invaded and conquered by the castilians and that is certainly true or in southern italy where the state seemed to be tax collectors and fill the rich industrialists from the shrine bowl of the milan and turin. and, of course, in barcelona anarchism is terribly -- terribly important. to understand the mentality and will tell you a quick s

guest: spain had done a study, because spain went to this kind of cat and trade global warming plan they are trying to propose here -- cap and trade, they found after 10 years of their economy went to tatters, but what also happened is all of these green jobs that were supposed to be created, for every one job and they created, they lost 2.2 jobs in spain, and of the jobs were created, 90 percent or temporary jobs. a lot of people are saying this would create millions of jobs. it will create millions of jobs, in china, because many of our manufacturers will leave and many have testified to exactly that thing. host: jim on the democratic line from silver spring, maryland. caller: booed morning. i want to ask -- i wanted to correct him on and he said most nuclear waste is stored on site. i am originally from south carolina, so i know that is not true. the waist as far as michigan and other places was trucked to south carolina because that is where it was being deposited. there also situations -- where they don't want nuclear waste trucked through their state. that is an understatement. gue

spain's using them. and they are going to have possibly hundreds of jobs making the windshields for the solar panel industry. . they had 1,000 jobs for s.u.v.'s and things on the bad list, so we'll get green jobs, maybe half as many as we had before. i had parker in knew haven, had an earmark to help them, try to get the heat down from everything from your blackberry to wind turbines and make them 20% more efficient. we may have at some point here 200 people doing windmill turbines and other things. but that plant had 1,200 supplying additional energy industries. i have worked with people who are trying to come up with alternative karen begins. one of my friends and supporters is putting in a huge wind farm in indiana. we have two basic areas we could put wind farms in. we might get to 4%. but we can't reach the target in these bills. but we don't have as much wind and solar. we have to have oil, gas, nuclear and coal, not just the alternative forms, especially if they are going to put limitations on eth

you know, keep in mind when the system in spain first opened up, you know, again, ms. fleming talked about how essentially they begin with one trunk line. they did. they began with their one trunk line. essentially it was six to eight trains a day running about 125 miles an hour. and from that they were so successful that they incrementally made the improvements that got them to roughly 20 trains a day at speeds of 200 miles an hour. so this is going to take a buildout, you know, a buildout much like the construction of the interstate highway system. and, again, we need to understand, the it v.g. system in france today, if you ride from paris to strawsburg, if you come out of paris you are going 200 miles an hour. 2/3 along the way you flow on to what they call traditional track and you're doing speeds of about 125 miles an hour. so it's not this either or proposition. >> mr. chairman, my time has expired. i thank you all very much. >> i'm called elsewhere. senator udall can going to take over and senator boxer will be next. senator hutchinson and then it's all up to s

in spain, they have been trying to do that. and in spain, for every green job they've created, they have lost two conventional jobs. and the green jobs they've created in spain have cost $1.2 million per job created in government subsidies. that's not a revolution i want to be part of, madam speaker. i cannot express enough to get to 83% baseline reduction in co-2 by the year 2050, which doesn't change in this bill, you have to reduce the emissions in the united states to the level that we had in 1910. and if you want to look at that on a per capita basis, assuming that the population is going to average 1% growth a year, it takes us back to 1875. this is a bad bill. it deserves to be defeated. please vote no. thank you, madam speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from california. the gentleman from california. mr. waxman: i yield myself the balance of our time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for 13 minutes. mr. waxman: 30 minutes? the speaker pro tempore: 13. mr

since 1969, the european governments of france, germany, spain, and u.k., have supported airbus' commercial aircraft development with over $15 billion in launch aid. those are high-risk loans at no or low interest with repayment contingent on the commercial success of the aircraft. now, according to the ustr the amount of launch aid airbus has received during the lifetime of that company, if it was repaid on commercial terms is well over $100 billion. madam president, such massive market distorting subsidies are allowing airbus to offer incentives for articles to buy their planes. madam president, airbus is a mature company with more than half of the market for large commercial aircraft. but europe is still treating it as a company with kid gloves. in fact, just last week, bloomberg news reported that airbus is seeking approximately $5 billion in launch aid from the governments of france, germany, spain, and the u.k., to now fund the develop must the airbus a-350 and the reports indicate that the deal could be completed within the month. well, madam president, if we want to keep a strong ae

his father told market.com that rubio may play a few more seasons in spain. that's fine with the t-wolves. >> i knew going in we may have to wait a year. may have to wait two. you know what, in two years, rickey rubio will be all of 20 years old. and we are the rare team right now that can afford to wait. our horizon is three, four years out. we know that. we are not going to win an nba championship in the next couple years. we need to start adding pieces to this team. we need to be aggressive. we may have to make some trades, but we needed to start accumulating some real core pieces to figure out how to become a championship contending team. >> t-wolves just the second team in the last 20 years to make two of their top six picks in the draft, and they took ricky rubio fifth, they took another point guard, johnny flynn from syracuse, sixth. took ty lawson, but he was traded to denver. the knicks have said they will talk to the t-wolves about rubio. >> ahead here on espnews, you have to see lou piniella's reaction to milton bradley's latest temper tantrum. >>

for example, they talk about spain being returned to the caliphate. so you can say that the ethnic cleansing of middle eastern jews would be significant to satisfy al qaeda, but only if you do not know their claims on spain. if you read carefully, france, as well. >> we know that the prime minister in israel made a speech over the weekend. there is a headline in the new york times, jimmy carter in gaza, urging hamas to go towards acceptance. guest: i wish there were something encouraging about hamas and their policies, but here is an entity devoted to the ethnic cleansing of all jews, and wherever we have seen that in a we have seen genocide, as well. their position when israel pulled out of gaza was to declare that tel aviv was also occupied and they were going to try and kill as many israelis as possible and kill them all until tel aviv was also under hamas control. caller: i would like to remain to remind the american people that the u.s. trained russians in afghanistan. so we have to look in the mirror to see why the current situation exists in th

after all, spain hadn't lost in three years. but in reality, the u.s. has already done something no other american men's soccer team has ever done -- reached the finals of a fifa-sanctioned event. today on espn, they can upset mighty brazil to win the gold. now, i'm not about to compare this to the 1980 u.s. hockey team, but we're talking a major upset in the making. brazil is in its fourth confederations final and looking for a record third title. last week i spoke with espn's soccer analyst and former national team member, alexi lalas, about the team's world cup chances, kind of shrugged his shoulders as if to say, hit or miss. he added, "it depends who they play." now, that restriction doesn't seem to apply. it's amazing how a great story in sports can make us forget we might not be a huge fan. i'll be watching this afternoon. please join us again next sunday for another edition of "the sports reporters." we're on each sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. eastern time right here on espn. and on sirius satellite radio, channel 121 at 9:30.

spain win it is by a final of 2-0. however, south africa also advances to the semis for finishing second. >> iraq taking on new zealand. glen moss with the great save. here's what's interesting about the save. way to use your head, your face actually. both teams are eliminated. >> let's stay current on espnews. scott burnside and pierre la brunn report the mole son family has agreed to buy the canadiens. >> tiger woods had four birdies. the problem is he countered with three bogeys. how we worked on sam adams light... for over two years. the whole brewery staff was dedicated. sam adams light doesn't look, smell or taste... like other light beers. to win in germany is a pretty good accomplishment. i'm proud that i was involved in it. pick any 2 of our 4 restaurant quality recipes. that's three pounds of delicious pastas starting at $13.99 with breadsticks. tuscani pasta pairs. pizza and pasta from pizza hut. now you're eating.

these were the horses that carried spain to victory in the new world. during the years of the conquest, thousands of them were shipped across the atlantic. more than of half died on the way. sometimes when rations ran low, they were killed for food. sometimes the ship sank in hurricanes taking the horses to a howing and watery grave, along with slaves who had been kidnapped to africa and kind to one another in the ship' galleys. often the ships were the calm midway between 30 to 35 degrees north and south of the equator, the barometric pressure often increased and the hot dry breezes called the westerlies stopped blowing the procession of proud owe defiant galleons would come to a halt. their massive sails limp in the blistering sun and the cargo, man an animal alike, slowly going mad. at that point, it was time to lighten the load. the horses were removed from their slings and taken above deck. at long last, they saw light and could move freely. although they were still hobbled by their weak legs, and they probably faltered as the conquistadors urged t

>> what we found is there was a real commitment and priority in france, spain and japan. and the majority of upfront construction costs was born by the central government in these countries without the expectation that they would recoup these initial investments. and most of these countries, what they did was they build a initial trunk line in order to show success and then build upon it. the commitment followed with a significant amounts of money, and that model allowed them to begin initial construction relatively quickly than if they didn't have that large investment by the central governments. >> thank you. i'd like to ask you a question, mr. boardman, and hope

the president's talked about using spain as the -- as the icon for what we should look at. well -- spain and the icon the president looks to we already see for every single green job that it produced another 2.2 jobs that were real jobs, permanent jobs, were destroyed. in my congressional district in northeast georgia, right now today, in many counties, we have an unemployment rate of nearly 14%. in multiple counties. the national average is over 9%. in northeast georgia it's higher, much higher. i have manufacturing entities within my district that tell me if this cap and trade, tax and cap legislation is passed, that they're going to lock the doors. the unemployment rate in northeast georgia is going to go up. markedly from what it is today. roughly 14%, i think we're going to see 18%, 20%, maybe 25% unemployment in northeast georgia because of one bill. one bill. that's being pushed down the throats of the american people, this cap and tax, tax and cap as i call it, cap and trade legislation, the waxman-markey bill. it's going to be disastrous for the american economy. i

the unemployment rate in spain is 17.5% unemployed. the largest industries in spain have left. the ones that are left are looking at leaving. the electrical bills for the residents have gone up 20%. and the electrical bills for industry has gone up 100% in three years and hit the threshold where they couldn't demand any more and raised the cost of the electricity that much. and so they went out on the market to bond that and pledged the full faith and credit of their grandchildren, the spanish government, we'll pay the bills later, but we can't pay the electric bills today because this is too high high. and president obama has said, we should learn from the spanish. i agree, we should learn from the spanish that the lesson i get from them is that it's a huge boondoggle that is full of corruption and i ask them why don't you repeal it, they say, we can't. because so many people who are powerful are making profit from it and tied up in it. and we would have to demand that our politicians would confess that they made a huge mistake eight or nine or 10 years ago. a lot of them are

but brazil is not spain. spain very disciplined and very predictable in the way they went outside. brazil can beat you in so many different ways. they can dribble on you, do a combination play. and we saw today, they can score on set pieces. what does the usa have to do? don't let up in early goals. he let one up in the first cup of minutes, he can't do that. you have to mark people on set pieces. then take a page out of the spanish performance. attack from the start. first 20 minutes, it will be great to see the u.s. have some opportunities and send the message to brazil that they're not going to defend the entire game. >> we come back here on espnews we'll update you on the nba draft. and that wasn't the only big and that wasn't the only big story in the association would you like to see our new menu? look at this! (laughing) - woooh, nice! - that's a lot of food! yo, those things are so-o good. mmm, amazing. you think anybody can eat that whole thing by themselves? it's like i hit the lottery in food. now get big meals, like our stuffed pizza rolls, pizza mia, the p'zone... and

they knocked off spain. they should have knocked off brazil. >> beto, this is really about brazil being the tiger woods of soccer. they're just simply better. if you watch that second half, they had so many chances. they had a goal that could have argued that was called not a goal. they could have had four goals in the second half. they're just a better team, so i think when you look at it, the choice of a choke or moral victory, it's really a moral victory more than a choke. it's by no means a choke because let's say the brazilian team was up 2-0 and the u.s. came back, that would be a choke because the brazilian team is that much better than the u.s. the u.s. has made some strides here, but again, this is a good thing for u.s. soccer. it would have been better if they won, but again, brazil is just that much better. you can just see they dominated the second half, no matter what the strategy was. they were going to come out and win that game. >> bribe, do you agree? >> this is such a tough question because

spain has traveled this path of renewables and green energy. their estimate is that for every job they gained they lost over two. i don't consider that to be the direction that our country needs to go, especially in these difficult economic times. the second thing that needs to be said is that there is a disparity being created in the renewable portfolio requirements. for portions of the cubtry such as georgia and the southeast in georgia, -- in general we don't have the volume of alternatives allowed under this legislation. especially if we are not going to get credit for the nuclear plants we are trying to bring onboard in our state. therefore, we're going to have to purchase those credits from some other part of the country, something i think will have an undoubtable, definite negative effect on the power bills of the citizens of my state. i rise in opposition to the legislation and urge my colleagues to vote against it. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expire. the gentleman from california. mr. waxman: i yield one minute to

>> what we found is there was a real commitment and priority in france, spain and japan. and the majority of upfront construction costs was born by the central government in these countries without the expectation that they would recoup these initial investments. and most of these countries, what they did was they build a initial trunk line in order to show success and then build upon it. the commitment followed with a significant amounts of money, and that model allowed them to begin initial construction relatively quickly than if they didn't have that large investment by the central governments. >> thank you. i'd like to ask you a question, mr. boardman, and hope that we can get a quick response. my understanding that foreign-owned manufacturers passenger cars, high-speed rail equipment are interested in competing for the $8 billion that are provided in the recovery act. what can we do to encourage more american companies to enter in the high-speed rail manufacturing market? >> mr. chairman, i was encouraged yesterday to see that in the field hearing that the d.n.i. had

come to spain. see the wonders of spain. now why are -- why are countries doing that? well, it's interesting. the average international traveler spends about $4,500 on an overseas trip. when they go to a country, they spend money. and it creates jobs. and so countries are aware of that, and they're very active in trying to encourage travelers to come to their country. not so with our country so much since 9/11/2001. in fact it's interesting that in 2008 we had 633,000 fewer people come to this country from overseas than we had in 2000. let me say that again. in 2008, 633,000 fewer people from overseas came to visit our country than came in the year 2000. in fact, here's an example of what's happening around the world. visitors to the united states -- this is 2000-2008 -- a 3% decrease. visitors to other countries in international travel, a 40% increase. the fact is, we're losing ground and losing share of the international travelers, tourism dollars and the ability also to explain to them a bit by having them see this country, explain to them what america is all about.

i think spain said that i think portugal has said that. i think there has been a lot of progress on this issue. some of it may not quite be getting out there to everybody. >> on health care, the president made it a point -- while he maintains it is still not his choice, would you say that he has an appreciation for the possibility that it is increasing? do you think it is totally up in there? >> the president said last night that it is the wrong way for us to go. he believes it is not the best way to do it. the president has outlined $950 billion in savings that he believes is a better way to go about it. part of the question was explaining what had been proposed in the campaign and what congress was talking about. but i think he is very clear about what he thinks is the best way to do it. >> [unintelligible] on any level, should we be looking for increased -- on the health-care debate? can you talk about -- >> there are a series of issues that the first lady

. >> guest: i went to spain, london, there i wrote almost 12 for 13 years. >> host: which other books are translated in english? >> guest: a lot of them that they were written during this period of exile and it gave me time to write. it was a very, very difficult experience, all american history, they are through the short stories. through the flesh and bone that you could touch. >> host: in "mirrors" you create a tapestry of story, there is a flow of wind up back sometimes you cover 1,000 years and one paydown sometimes you go back and forth citywide but there is a continuity but the lot of the land. i think underlay and like the subway. >> host: the underground river. >> guest: yes. like an underground river. some music and you 19 all of these different pieces that may turn into a mess that is absolutely crazy but i hope not because we have this river. >> host: and one almost inevitably leads to another. i found reading "mirrors" sometimes i would stop in a -- star in the middle and pick it up and me carried forward and than because i had to prepare for this coming i read it all the

. >> guest: yes, i went to spain, barcelona and wrote during the years of exile 12 or 13 years. >> host: which other books of yours are translated in english and? >> guest: all of them written in this period thinks to the military dictatorship's gave me time to write, it was a very difficult experience. all american history, all american history volumes thru short stories telling it as something that you could touch, not ideas but the human touching of history when it is really alive. >> host: in "mirrors" you create a tapestry of stories. there is a flow was from one epic sometimes to cover a thousand years and at page. other times you go back and forth a little bit. >> guest: we were running not below the line. how is it called in english. >> host: an underground river. >> guest: underground river, like an underground river. music uniting all these different pieces that may turn into a mass, absolutely crazy but it's not. i hope it's not. >> host: one almost inevitably leads to another. i found reading "mirrors" sometimes i would start in the middle, just pick it up and start reading

. >> guest: yes, i went to spain, barcelona and there i wrote to the odd years of exile almost 1213 years. >> host: which ever books of yours are translated in english? >> guest: a lot of of them, but for instance the memory of fire was written in this time thanks to the military dictatorships that gave me time to write. it was a very, very difficult experience. all american history, all american history in three volumes thru short stories telling it as flesh and bone and in something that you could touch. not ids but the human touch and of history when it is realized. >> host: in "mirrors" you read this tapestry of stories. there is a flow from one aspect, sometimes you cover a thousand years on a page. in other times you go back and forth a little bit. >> guest: but there is a continuity. like a river running, not below the line. how is it called an english? and subway is. >> host: and underground river. >> guest: underground river, like an underground river there is some music uniting all of these different pieces that may turn into a mass of something, something crazy. but it is not.

time we wanted to get out and jump on them early and kind of the same way we did against egypt and spain, and it worked out for us. >> what was the general feeling inside the locker room when you had that two-goal lead? >> i mean, we were confident but we always knew, you know, brazil has so many weapons and they're such a dangerous team. you know, we knew it wasn't over, but obviously the confidence they hadn't scored on us and we were up 2-0, you know, we were flying at halftime. >> the brazilians didn't waste any time in getting on the board in the second half. what did that do to the psychoi can of this team? >> it's always tough to give up a goal so quickly, especially when you're up like that against fantastic team. saying, that they scored early and we were absorbing a lot of their pressure, and, you know, it was all right. we still held out for about 15 more minutes and then they just coming in waves and waves. and in the end, their quality came through for them. >> what did coach bradley say to you after the game? >> he was pleased with our effort. he knew we left everything on

thank you had written a book about the french revolution, and jefferson's letter of sympathy for thomas spain got a tended to the introduction of the book when it was published in america. and everyone knew it was a criticism of adams and the person who really knew it was a criticism of adams was a adams. and so that made him very angry. this man of great passion. and then jefferson did write a couple of letters that got published in the journals of the time, which were critical of adams. and adam saw that as a betrayal. he did things that we expect politicians to do in our age, but which we don't think our founding fathers and mothers engaged in that kind of politics. the second component to your question was what was abigail's role. in campaigning for the presidency. abigail was not happy that john either took the vice presidency or the presidency, but like everything else she went along with it because he had a duty to serve and she had a duty to serve as well. so it was that sense of duty that really compelled her to go along with this and not prevent him from taking losses. did they camp

we have seen similar plants in china, japan, korea, brazil, great britain, spain, france, italy, austria, portugal, romania, and slovakia, mr. president. slovakia. but the united states has not yet acted on a program that has been effective around the world when we have some many small businesses right now whose futures are hanging in the balance. this is something supported by business and labor. and of course, the auto dealers. i am also pleased that it is now supported by the sierra club. we know that from environmental standpoint, there is more they can do. in terms of the environment, this is a win. cars and trucks sold under this will be more fuel efficient and cleaner than a car or truck it replaces. that is a fact. this bill will save 133 gallons of gasoline per vehicle per year. it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.4 5 million metric tons. models in 1998 or earlier will account for 25% of the cars driven, but 75% of the tailpipe emissions. if we can get vehicles that are worth $4,500 or less off the road, they can no longer pollutes, and people buy a vehicle that is 22 m

15 years later at the same time he became the agent 13 and the spanish secret service and a spy for spain at the same time he led the american army but every president he worked for washington, adams, ed jefferson, madison knew he was a traitor and a captain in this position for strategic regions -- reasons it is a fantastic story. another biography a fascinating figure in history to win at queen of naples, sicily and jerusalem the only woman to rule in her own name in the 14th century, every bit as dynamic as elizabeth one of england rolled over the court in naples and incredibly trivial and a look at the 14th century through the lens of her life. >> also coming out this fall? >> of book called meltdown iceland which i think will be a fascinating way into the economic crisis that hit us last year. this is the story of the economic collapse of the country and we will publish it on the one-year anniversary october 7. it is a fascinating inside story of greed, overreach of all the things that happened, happened in iceland but understandable in a microcosm and i think that is what makes this

the new york journal insisted in big black headlines and on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that spain had been responsible, the united states have to go to war now. absolutely had to. but what of the spaniards had not been responsible for the destruction of the main? president william mckinley was in short and so what he did was convened a naval court of inquiry to look into the matter which made william hearst livid. he was so impatient to get a war started, a war that he had covered than a month and a half after the maine exploded he published the findings of the naval court of inquiry. according to the journal's article, the court of inquiry quote, finds that the spanish government blew up the maine. ..

conditions, convicted world trade bombers were communicated by mail with the terrorists in madrid, spain, where many, many people died in that attack. there would certainly be strong reasons to believe that detainees currently held at guantanamo, known to riot and grossly abuse prison guards, would use their access to counsel and investigators in order to convey messages to their allies. i'm concerned about the extra cost that would be incurred in preparing prisons and courthouses for trials. i understand the courthouses in which try terrorism cases were litigated had to be hardened to accommodate terrorism prosecutions and the attendant threats they entail for participants and the public. a recent "new york times" article indicated that one of every seven prisoners released from guantanamo bay and determined to be low-security risks were recaptured on foreign battlefields fighting american forces. what does this say about the danger posed by the medium and high security risk detainees still being held? there have been numerous documented accounts of al qaeda members using violence in pr

but our goal is not to beat spain and not give it our best shot. we don't often get to the finals. and this is our first major final in a real tournament ever. and we want to take advantage. a big challenge against brazil. >> if you want to be the best team you have to beat the best team. if you want to win a cup or championship it is never easy. that in and of itself gives us can have deputies. >> the final against brazil is something all of our players have dreamed about and this is an opportunity that's very important for our united states soccer. >> u.s. 1-13 versus brazil all-time including 0-3 in the cup. and the only win was one. >> and still to come the rangers appear to be heating up after a recent offense of drought. they were unable to put up any more eye-popping numbers. but cheyenne woods following her famous uncle and went into the family business. how she compared to tiger and how she compared to tiger and what they ar would you like to see our new menu? look at this!

then i learn apparently it is used in bullfighting and mexico and spain. then i was not quite right and it is a place and that global imagines in the ring that it is of spot and wants to keep the matador out of the cbot and the matador once to keep it from getting to the spot so they began fighting. i am not fighting i'm talking about the definition and it comes from a spanish bourbon which means to love so as i use it here it is a place that we have a special affinity for, a place that we love. what i see more and more in this country perhaps across the world that i have some concern that has become ever more electronic five that we're losing some of our special place is. i am really concerned about them because i don't think you can have a virtual special place. e the you have the real thing or you do not have it. what i tried to do a last 30 or 40 years of my travels is to ever expand my special place so either i can go to places an alabama where there are spots where i feel i have they belonging and i think this is my tenth trip to seattle so there are

if you need a tangible example of why this doesn't work, look at spain which has been on this plan for 10 years. the result, utility prices have skyrocketed and the unemployment rate today is 17.5%. this is our view of the future. experts tell us that cap and tax will do nothing to cap greenhouse gases, but it will put the united states at a global economic disadvantage because china and india have no reason to enact or follow this policy. we'll put americans out of work but create jobs for developing countries. we need a smart energy policy that will put americans to work, not further squeeze the pocketbooks of this country's families. and yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee rise? without objection. mr. cohen: thank you, madam speaker. tonight the house passed five bills, four of which dealt with important veterans issues, veterans' compensation, cost of living adjustment act, the health care budget reform and transparency act and another that directs the secretary of veterans affairs to include on w

>> we found there is a real commitment in france, spain, and japan, and the majority of upfront construction cost was born by the federal government, central government and these countries, without the expectation that they would recoup these investments. most of these countries build a trunks sign to show success and build upon that. the commitment, followed with a significant amount of money, what that allowed is for them to begin initial construction relatively quickly, than if they didn't have the large investment by the central government. patent >> i would like to ask a question and hope we can get a quick response. my understanding is manufacturers, passenger cars, that recovery act, what could we do for countries to enter into the high-speed rail manufacturing market? >> mr. chairman, i was encouraged yesterday, ge, locomotive provided testimony, where they are ready to build next-generation with these 0 high speed. 1 24, they had their ceo at the hearing in pittsburgh. they are catching on to the fact that there is a commitment in this country. that is the most important point. >> i

we have seen similar plans and china got in japan, korea, brazil, great britain, spain, france, italy, austria, portugal, romania and slovakia, mr. president, slovakia. but the united states hasn't yet acted on a program that has been effective for bell world when we have so many small businesses right now who literally whose futures are hanging in the balance. this is something supported by business and labor by the u.s. chamber of commerce and national association of manufacturers and of course autodialers and i also very pleased that it is now supported by the sierra club. we know that from an environmental standpoint there is always more that we can do. but we know that this move cells in the right direction. in terms of the environment this is a win with every single new car that is sold. every car under this program will be more efficient, will be cleaned in a car or truck it replaces and that is a fact. this bill will save 133 gallons of gasoline per vehicle per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.45 million metric tons. in 2010 vehicles, model year 1998 or earlier wi
