mr. brown: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. i so appreciate the leadership of senator durbin on the dream act. nobody has kept this alive more than he has, has spoken more passionately and cares more about young people. and the point of so much of what he was talking about was that you give people an opportunity and they work hard and they play by the rules and they get ahead in this country. and my comments, while i didn't come to the floor to talk about immigration and the dream act, i support what senator durbin's doing and i'm talking about something else that you give people opportunity and they get ahead and that is ohio and american manufacturing and why it's so important to our country. the best ticket to the middle class in the last hundred years in the state of ohio and really all over the country has been people making things. the way to create wealth is you either mine it or you grow it or you make it. the presiding officer

mr. brown: thank you, madam president. i rise today because there was an obvious omission in the olympic opening ceremony on friday. 40 years after 11 israeli olympians and a german police officer were murdered at the 1992 munich games, the london games opened with no acknowledgment of this tragedy. there was neither mention nor a moment of silence for those victims of the munich massacre. 40 years ago on september 4, five palestinians stormed the apartments of the israeli national team in the olympic village and murdered 11 israeli team members. again and again the i.o.v.c., the hat international olympic committee has rejected a request to hold a moment of silence at opening ceremonies. i thank senator gillibrand for her resolution calling for the i.o.c. to hold a moment of silence. i remind the i.o.c. it's not too late. they were not random victims. they were targeted because of the country they represented and the beliefs they held. shock -- jacques roge said we feel the opening shairm ceremony is an atmosphere that is

the way it was done in mr. brown is off the realm of practicality. it is way too expensive. you will need another fatal disease in order to get one of these things. the risk from dying from a stem cell or bone marrow transplant is about 20% in the first 100 days after the transplant, and it is very expensive. finding the donors are not easy. this mutation that causes disruption of the door ccr5 that the aids means to get into a cell is selling about 1.5% of all caucasians in america, about 4% of all scandinavian and northern russians, but found and that african-americans and no black, not africans, no asians, and no american indians. so for large portions of the population, it is not even helpful. but i think the point that dr. has not commented on and needs to be addressed, a large part went on in the international aids conference, is that they gave us hope. there is proof. tod to, the insight into how d do it and make it practical. the one with amfar has been funding projects toward a cure is the possibility you could take cells from a person's body, rather than having mr.

mr. everhart, mr. speaker brown and mr. speaker scott. >> good morning. my name is sharon and i'm vice chair of the district 11 council and a 4 year resident which is located in the heart of district 11. i do not come forward to test by earlier because my neighborhood has never seriously been in danger of being split into another district. but i wanted to take this last opportunity to speak, to publicly thank the task force for not just listening to the public, but to actually hearing all the folks who came to testify. and for your commitment to keeping neighborhoods whole. for you reuniting the other neighborhoods that were split 10 years ago. i also wanted to thank the consultants and kay for all their work in getting the draft maps and the boundaries up on the website so quickly. and lastly i would like to thank any fellow council members who came to testify so passionately but respectfully for their neighborhoods in district 11. so far we have only lost population in those areas we all agreed to sacrifice to keep district 11 whole. it is an honor to s

mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. i think senator menendez asked the right question that in the absence of this chamber doing the right thing -- and that is staying consistent with what the republican leader, senator mcconnell, said some years ago, that sunlight is the best disinfectant, that we should disclose everything. he wanted mostly i believe, if i recall, unlimited contributions but full disclosure. he has changed his position on that, i assume, to protect the oil industry and perhaps the chinese money that's coming in in these elections or the big wall street banks that have opposed my election and i assume the presiding officer because of his work on banking issues will come against him in oregon. i think this whole idea, what senator menendez suggested that voters are going to start -- if the senate won't move, voters are going to start asking the question: who is giving this money and why are they putting this kind of money in? i rise and i thank senator shaheen for her leadership on this because big corpo

we concur with mr. brown, and we recommend that you approve this resolution. we are withdrawing our recommendation to reduce the amount. chair chu: thank you very much. why do we not open this up for public comment? are there any members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. without objection. and then finally, item 13. clerk young: item number 13, exempting a limited number of special parking events with non- profit corporations for the sole benefit of the san francisco public school, earning less than 10,000 dollars in gross revenue per event from rent, from the requirement to pay parking tax and other requirements, he issued by the tax collector, and making findings, and an amending the san francisco police code by amending section 1215 to exclude from the definitions of parking garage and parking lot special event parking. chair chu: thank you very much for reading the item. colleagues, this item was heard last week. we had to continue this. the presentations were done, and we heard public comment at that time, but i know

that is our mr. brown. >> charles is a young man who has a brain tumor for which it is quite clear there is no cure. what we have been able to provide here is an environment where the kids can be totally themselves at the same time that they are able to participate in charles' final weeks and days. >> when we first found out they got the family together and told us what is going on. >> she told us very calm and told us that he was sick. and he had brain cancer. >> they told us that, you know, charles is dying, and we have to go somewhere, where, you know, it is nicer and beautiful for him, and we just don't want him passing in the house. with everything being said, we want him comfortable in a nice place. >> being here at george marks allows us and the entire family to be here together at all times. no visiting hours and none of that, and no restrictions. we are free to be with him any time of the day or the night. >> since like i'm the older brother, i feel like i need to be in there with him so whe

brown where do you stand in your view on this inflation deflation debate. i think it might be a good idea to to really define terms it seems to me that the deflation is is a drain joint of debt if there's a debt crisis you can't finance you can't borrow you can't hold him in tory's therefore you sell stuff you can't hire therefore you discharge employees the sum total of these actions leads to falls and wages and prices that to me is deflation what. is not seems to me is the reduction in the price of the cost of producing things in a time of spreading digital technology and the opening up of new areas to enterprises and to production that i would call progress now the symptom of both is fall in prices but the fed refuses to distinguish between. the problem of debt and progress they seems to be that seems to be resisting the latter which leads to intervention which leads to money printing which leads to the suppression of interest rates which finally adds to the to inflation so the fed by reacting to the thing it calls deflation but refuse to define him is a

how on earth is mr. brown supposed to complete when he's been outspent 2-1 by people he knows nothing about? >> well, martin, don't you realize that anonymous right wing billionaires are people, too. >> sorry. of course. thank you. >> seriously, on the presidential level, the obama campaign's going to have a lot of money. might not have as much, but obama and his allies will have tons of money and frankly, i think you can reach a saturation point in the campaign where there's just no more air time. both sides will get their message out. but down ticket, for someone like sherrod brown, for house races around the country, this sort of huge money piling in can make all the difference and that's where i think there could really be a substantial impact. >> particularly towards the end of the campaign, martin, because you can have these groups come in in the last week or two of the campaign and go up against the house or senate candidate with a million or two million dollars. that's real money for those sort o

mr. cain along with the staff very recently learned about the death of lewis brown. in retrospect we regret that we did not keep in contact with mr. brown on a more regular basis, but we feel fortunate that we had the opportunity to get to know mr. brown in the limited capacity with which we were able. although it seems that lewis had a troubled journey through life, it also appears that he touched many hearts along that journey. our sympathy is with those who knew and loved lewis. thanks for watching, everyone. you can continue to conversation with me on twitter at kyra@cnn, or on facebook. newsroom international starts newsroom international starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> welcome to "newsroom international." i'm suzanne malveaux and we are going around the world in 60 minutes. these two men are found guilty of stealing babies. that is right. argentina and a court case going back to the late '70s and these two men ruled argentina as military dictators in the conflict known as the dirty war. they were charged with stealing dozens of babie

brown, why didn't president obama go to the naacp convention? mitt romney went and took the hit and took the boos. obama a didn't go and took joe biden. >> i assume that mr. obama must have had an awesome reason for not attending the naacp. and i, for one, would not have advised him to go any other place other than thenana convention. i think one would have to acknowledge that romney going there, not expecting to get any vote but consistently deliver his message does demonstrate a a wilgness to join the issue whatever it might be. i'm just hopeful, as mr. jealous said yesterday, who heads the naacp, they gave him a pass. would i keep my mouth shut and have obama front and center, just as he was with the latino, just as he has been with the gays and after all, the nba was the first organize to step out there and say, it's okay on same sex marriages. if for another other reason. >> he was on this show last night talking about that. >> newt gingrich had his chance. romney took him out in florida. obama sends punches at romney, romney shoots right b
