USA: WASHINGTON: CONGRESS GETS FIRST LOOK AT TOBACCO SETTLEMENT
English/Nat
The cigarette manufacturers and the state attorneys generals took their tobacco settlement to Capitol Hill on Thursday in their first attempt to sell the deal to Congress.
But a somewhat sceptical response from lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee indicates a tough battle ahead.
Mississippi Attorney General Michael Moore - who helped reached the settlement with the tobacco companies - called the deal the best way to immediately fight teenage smoking.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Is it perfect? Of course not. There are things that all of us would like to change. But this agreement forced on big tobacco dictates changes that three or four years ago all of us would have thought impossible, and it does it against a hostile, combative and determined enemy.
SUPER CAPTION: Michael Moore, Mississippi Attorney General
Congress must ratify the deal, which seeks to settle 40 state lawsuits against the industry by setting national tobacco policy.
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Senator Orrin Hatch, promised a long series of hearings as Congress debates whether the deal is truly in the best interest of America.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The fact of the matter is that the United States generally does set the standards for the rest of the world and what we do here will have a profound imprint on what is done throughout the rest of the world
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican, Utah
In all, the tobacco industry will pay out over 360 (b) billion U-S dollars over 25 years, most of it for anti-smoking campaigns and public health efforts.
Under the settlement terms, the tobacco industry has agreed to spend (b) billions to lower teenage smoking by 60 percent over the next 10 years or face harsh penalties.
Vending machines will be banned and all tobacco sales must be done face-to-face, with no sales to minors.
The settlement allows the Food and Drug Administration to impose standards for reducing and eventually eliminating nicotine
The industry will be required to spend (b) billions of dollars to provide free medical help to smokers trying to quit.
Nicotine patches and gum fall into this programme.
Additionally, the settlement prohibits advertising of tobacco products on billboards and outdoor signs and also bans human images, such as the Marlboro Man, and cartoon characters, such as Joe Camel.
But for a Congress that feels it has been lied to and misled for years, the deal lacked what was wanted most - an apology.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I hope we are going to have a hearing where we actually have the C-E-Os (Chief Executive Officers) of tobacco companies actually come up and stand before us and say we lied, or my predecessor lied, and we know we are hooking kids, we intended to hook them and we wanted to hook them, because until that gets said, I think you are not going to get the votes of an awful lot of us up here for that settlement
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Joe Biden, Democrat, Delaware
Senator Edward Kennedy was looking for an admission to the dangers of smoking.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Cigarettes cause cancer, can you say yes or no to that?
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Ted Kennedy, Democrat, Massachusetts
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I personally am not in a position to give you an answer to the precise question that you have asked.
SUPER CAPTION: Meyer Koplow, attorney for Philip Morris Tobacco Company
However, the Mississippi Attorney General felt that the deal achieved far more than if the 40 states had pursued their individual cases against the cigarette manufacturers.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
SUPER CAPTION: Michael Moore, Mississippi Attorney General

Yaser Said - Amina and Sarah Said story
Watch Discovery's Forbidden: Dying For Love about these murders.
The FBI is offering up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Yaser Abdel Said, who is on the top ten FBI wanted list for murder.
On January 1, 2008, Yaser took his two daughters, Amina (18) and Sarah (17) in his taxi cab telling them he was taking them out to eat. He drove them to Irving, Texas, where he shot both girls to death, and then vanished. He allegedly shot them because they were dating non-Muslim boyfriends, or are too westernized. Previously, Yaser took his daughter Sarah to Egypt for an arranged marriage to a much older friend of Said's, but Sarah rejected. He had also threatened to harm the girls for being western. Sarah managed to 911 call.
Yaser Said married the girls' mother Patricia (Tissie) Owens when she was just 15 years old. Yaser was 31 at that time. When the girls were 8 and 7, Tissie accused Yaser of raping them, but later recanted stating she made up the charges. Amina and Sarah grew up to be American teenagers. They planned to go to college, and become doctors. When they told their mom they had boyfriends, she did not tell Yaser. Amina stated she was so afraid of Yaser she was afraid to to use the public telephone, because Yaser gets in everywhere he knows everything. Tissie, Amina and Sarah ran away with their boyfriends, but then came back. Yaser convinced them to come back, but Amina stayed with her boyfriend for two more days. The girls stated they were hungry, so Yaser said he wanted to take the girls out to eat. Tissie wanted to come along but Yaser said he just wanted to talk to the girls.
Yaser's physical features may vary in order to conceal his identity, and he may or may not wear a mustache or have a shaved head. *HE ALWAYS WEARS DARK SUNGLASSES, BOTH INDOORS AND OUTSIDE.* and carries a handgun in his taxi cab at all times. It has also been reported that Yaser always carries a weapon with him, including knives. Here are pictures of him.
Yaser was born in Egypt and may seek shelter in communities with Egyptian ties. He frequents diners including Denny's and I-Hop restaurants, smokes Marlboro Light 100s cigarettes and loves German shepherd dogs. He may work as a taxi cab driver in New York City. Yaser has ties to New York, Virginia, Texas, Canada, and Egypt. He may be hiding in Egyptian communities. He also has an Egyptian and a United States passport. A cab driver said he may have seen Said driving at Newark airport, and pointed out one of Said's most recognizable accessories, sunglasses.

Policy and Poetry: The African American Religious Imagination and Social Transformation
2018 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion
November 18
Denver, Colorado
African American religion has played an invaluable role in shaping public policy debates in the United States and abroad. A sobering truth, however, emerging from many social justice movements is that legislation cannot combat all dimensions of inequality and prejudice. Many manifestations of inequality and prejudice remain locked behind the steel doors of the most gated house—the human heart. Those doors are often pried open slowly by another persuasive dimension of African American religion—“poetry.” By poetry, we mean various aspirational, symbolic, and artistic expressions not limited by the sometimes deadening exactitude of “policy speak.” This interactive roundtable discussion, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution’s Center for the Study of African American Religious Life, will feature diverse, religiously-inspired “poetic” performances. These performances will accentuate the significance of embodiment and aesthetics in the epistemologies and social change theories of Africana people.

The Brooks Family Lecture: Bringing America Together
Arthur Brooks addresses the divisions that plague America & finds a set of strategies to help us disagree better, forge a new model of aspirational leadership, & unite the country.
Tuesday, January 29, 2019
5:00pm – 6:30pm
Filene Auditorium, Moore Building
Sponsored by: Rockefeller Center
No matter what our political views, few people believe our country is as united as it should be. Whether in the media, politics, or even in our personal relationships, we all recognize that the country is increasingly defined by a culture of contempt – in which people treat others with whom they disagree as defective, or worthless. Within this distressing reality, however, there lies an opportunity for our nation. Drawing on history, social psychology, behavioral economics, and the counsel of ancient wisdom, Arthur Brooks addresses the divisions that plague America, and finds a set of strategies to help us disagree better, forge a new model of aspirational leadership, and unite the country.
Arthur C. Brooks is president of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a nonpartisan public policy think tank in Washington, DC, where he is also the Beth and Ravenel Curry Scholar in Free Enterprise. Additionally, Dr. Brooks is a columnist for the Washington Post and host of the podcast “The Arthur Brooks Show.”
At 19, Dr. Brooks left college to work professionally as a classical musician (a period his parents described as his “gap decade”). During this time, he toured the United States with the Annapolis Brass Quintet, recorded albums with jazz guitarist Charlie Byrd and others, and spent several seasons as associate principal French horn with the City Orchestra of Barcelona.
In his late twenties, Dr. Brooks returned to college by correspondence and studied economics, mathematics, and modern languages, eventually earning his B.A. while still working as a musician. He went on to pursue an M.A. in economics at Florida Atlantic University and a Ph.D. in public policy at the RAND Graduate School in Santa Monica, California. His doctoral work focused on applied microeconomics and mathematical modeling. While earning his Ph.D., Dr. Brooks also conducted research for the RAND Corporation on theater-level combat models for the US Air Force.
Upon completion of his doctorate, Dr. Brooks joined the faculty of Syracuse University as a professor of public administration. For ten years, he taught courses in economics and social entrepreneurship and conducted research on happiness and the economics of philanthropy. He was the Louis A. Bantle Professor of Business and Government at Syracuse until assuming the presidency of AEI on January 1, 2009.
Dr. Brooks has published dozens of scholarly articles and 11 books on topics including philanthropy, military operations research, the future of conservatism, and human happiness. His next book, “Love Your Enemies,” will be released in March 2019 (Broadside Books, 2019). Previous books include New York Times bestsellers “The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America” (Broadside Books, 2015) and “The Road to Freedom: How to Win the Fight for Free Enterprise” (Basic Books, 2012) as well as the textbook “Social Entrepreneurship” (Prentice Hall, 2008).
Dr. Brooks delivers more than 100 speeches annually around the US, Europe, and Asia. He appears regularly on radio and television and is a frequent guest host for programs such as CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” He writes frequently for the Washington Post and publishes featured pieces in outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Commentary Magazine, and Foreign Affairs. In the spring of 2019, he is releasing “The Pursuit,” a feature-length documentary film that explores the themes of poverty alleviation and human happiness both at home and abroad.
In the summer of 2019, he will join the faculty of the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School.

15. The Tobacco Paradigm
Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255)
The lecture explores the development of scientific proof of the harm that tobacco poses to human health and the legal tools used to regulate its use. The government has used warnings, control over advertising, and age restrictions to regulate tobacco. The tobacco industry has been able to complicate efforts to impose stricter regulations on tobacco consumption due to its power in the media due to ad sales and government due to the importance of cigarette sales taxes to state governments.

21:29 - Chapter 3. Problematic Adoption and Prevalence Rates
