Choice and the history of entertainment at the dinner. Heres a bit of that conversation. For awhile they used to do musicalabilities, and believe it or not a juggling act at some point. That was a long time ago. But since the association started having come eedians come and serve as the entertainer shell be the fourth woman to have done that. I dont know its always a latenight white guy. Which is great. Those guys are funny. But its really important to have different perspectives represented at a podium like that and i just think shes funny. And i think shes shes sharp and cutting and i think shell bring it down to size a little bit. Thats part of the fun. Watch our live coverage of the white house correspondents dinner, starting at 6 30 p. M. Eastern saturday on our companion network cspan. In 2014 the department of Homeland Security was rated the worst federal agency to work for, with nasa being the best. Thats from a recent survey by the office of Personnel Management. The survey us
Successful program we also want to do. I would add we are doing a lot of research in this area to predict better responses to opioid use because thats very, very critical. That gets back to the notion of an informed conversation between a clinician and a veteran, family and so forth. Right. One final question. We were just talking about the Health Workforce at the va. One of the things that ive certainly observed in rural medicine, for example, if you receive your training there, perhaps if you were born and raised in a rural environment, youre likely to make a commitment in your career to remaining there. I think the same is very much true with regard to the va. In the va reform law passed last year i authored a provision that included an increase by 1,500 over five years the number of gme residency positions. It is my understanding in this first year of implementation, 204 new resident positions were added. I would like for you to give me a status update on the programs implementatio
Politics and you didnt force morsi from story and not keeping him in power, but stay out of our politics. There is this irony, we play a small role. We can play a small role. We can be catalysts for things, but i think to argue that we are the drivers of jihad, that we were the drivers of extremist in iraq to me given a whole host of factors involved, given the stakes that people feel every single day versus the extent to which americans dont have to live with the consequences, i think the responsibility has to be 95 on the people who were living this every day and 5 on the outsiders who were trying sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for selfinterested reasons to affect the outcomes. Let me try to answer this question. Im not an expert on terrorism, but believe it or not, in 1991 during george bush the first presidency when we, and i refer to call it the iraqi pro democracy proximity rather than the iraqi opposition, we could not meet with the United States government because we wer
And so over the course of the last couple of months we have traveled all over the country from orlando, florida, from san francisco, to seattle, boston, new york, my hometown of chicago, virginia. We have talked to workers and Business Leaders and Union Leaders and academics and deans and stakeholders from around the country all helping us figure out what we do to change that paradigm and reflected in this room and watching us online are all of you who have contributed to the agenda for today and also the announcements that we will be making. So thank you very much. We have ln listened to your stories. Since i have the podium, im going to tell you mine. I remember very vividly, i wont tell you exactly how many years ago. Well, maybe i will. 28 years ago and some change i was sitting around a Conference Room table at 2 a. M. 8 1 2 months pregnant. I kept trying to slip my swollen feet up on to a chair where nobody would notice, and for the women in the audience who have been pregnant, y
Damaged homes and knocked down power. Heavy rain in texas and the flooding is getting worse in minnesota. A wild primary day. Thad cochran won the Mississippi Senate primary over Tea Party Challenger Chris Mcdaniel. The race to unseat Charles Rangel is too close to call but that didnt stop rangel from declaring victory. American special forces are now on the ground in iraq. You and the president seem to be in about the same place as to what we ought to do now in iraq. Well ive never had anybody put it that way. If that was a bite then thats the third time that suarez has committed that particular crime. In world cup action fifa says its Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings. At least six months to a year. This guy needs help. Do you think with all the money he earns he could have those teeth fixed . Actor eli wallace has passed. One of wallaces classic roles was as the villain. A man in new york is literally stabbed in the back at mcdonalds. Instead of writhing in pain he seems
