Futures flat. 16,103. Euro advances. That is important. And in elevation there. Hydrocarbons elevated. Onto Foreign Exchange handle with a little bit of oil as well. Is gold currency . Does better. In the last hour it has come back a little bit. All in all come the stability off of the cacophony of the weekend. Have scoured the ski slopes of Northern New England to find scarlet fu returning from a snow bank. I survived. Well rested. Nine hours of sleep one night. I love the photo drop of you coming out of the helicopter. The ukraine topped the front page this morning. Issued an arrest warrant for the ousted resident who has fled the country. They are on the wanted list for their role in violence that killed more than 80 people last week. He was last seen in a prorussian region. A lot of interesting st
Things begin to get tough. Tell us the bit about what that was about and mutual accountability bargain, what kind of frustration you did experience after a while within these projects were continuing. I think Jeffrey Sachs is a character who, to many of us, is recognizable. These a model, maniacal, very brilliant man who set up to try to accomplish something enormous and really stake his career on the claim that he could into poverty, and that he could do it in our lifetime. And very graciously, i think, allowed me to shadow him in a way that was terribly intrusive. If any of you have ever had a journalist like me cover you will know, it is interested. Its not fun. I ask a lot of questions. I stick my nose and everywhere. I demande demand to see every d. When things were going well, that was marvelous all around. I think for Jeffrey Sachs he was hopeful, and, frankly, i was hopeful when i began that the outcome would be a positive one. Who doesnt want poverty to be ended . And yet as t
That it would have been nice if there had been a period of reflection and new plans were made for Disaster Relief Going Forward so when the haitian earthquake hit at an hour of no ones choosing it could have been implemented. It is never too late and i think this would be a great time to have the reflection now. I have a three question for you. Number one is what do you think of the current president . And what do you think should have happened to the previous president that returned to haiti . And what do you know about raw earth because i have heard there is discovery of gold and raw material in haiti. And third, what do you think are some of the Current Solutions they have there with the un being there and stories of abduction. What do i think of the current president you asked me and i will dodge that. No i will tell you a little bit. What i think should have happened when they returned and what i know about the Raw Materials under the earth in haiti and what can be done to fix hai
Years we are seeing a Republican Party that is facing problems the democrats faced 30 years ago. The interplay of what is happening and the context of how candidates are running matter more than the scandals themselves. Especially if you are running in a context you can present yourself as part of an abused group. Abused by the system. And you can play that well. Whether that is the case that jeff talked about more roy moore in alabama who used the Ten Commandments as an attack on christian conservatives. I think that is the case the state of the National Parties and the look at political recovery. Saturday morning. And the best selling author ben king is on at noon.

I have been a fan of these events that you have ran and i wrote him and asked
Anything who knows haiti or Disaster Relief that many of these issues occurred. They occur here but in a different way after sandy. I was playing close attention to the news as the storm was coming up. And you saw the same tropes come and you saw the fear of mob mentality taking over. And people were looking for the any sign they could find of society breaking down, the looters coming in, and usually blowing it out of proportion because as there are isolated incidents here it wasnt a big deal. In katrina, that attitude had major implications. You have people who survived a disaster and are trying to stay alive and are getting shot to death by the police because the Police Assume they are stealing something they are not. So that is a long way of saying that it would have been nice if there had been a period of reflection and new plans were made for Disaster Relief Going Forward so when the haitian earthquake hit at an hour of no ones choosing it could have been implemented.
