Transcript for 'This Week': Powerhouse Roundtable I
We'll get to immigration shortly, but first our roundtable. We have bill kristol, donna Brazile, laura Ingraham and Luis Gutierrez. Bill, I want to start with you, you called Cantor's loss a verdict against the republican leadership in Washington. But every other primary leading up to this, republican leadership figures won, wasn't this a matter of Cantor losing touch with his district? It was a matter of a lot of things. It was a matter of immigration. Immigration was the main issue in the race. The guy was outspent 25 to 1. The Cantor campaign spent more on two steakhouses here, $168,000 entertaining lobbyists more than Dave brat spent on his entire campaign. Something was going on there. Cantor was out of touch with his district. Immigration was a big issue. But above all, republicans are unhappy with republican leaders. Laura, there are people that are saying it was your fault, in large measure this happened. You used your talk radio show to attack him. I want you to listen to what con or the just told me about one of your attacks. The suggestion that I should have been traded to the Taliban for sergeant bergdahl is really not a serious contribution to any public policy debate. I don't think it reflects on people who self-identify as tea partyers. I think they reject that kind of notion. It's not serious. Frankly, it cheapens the debate. Well, Eric Cantor I believe wouldn't show up at the first tea party convention in his own state. Which first set him off on the wrong path with the tea party. I helped give a little bit of a platform to Dave brat, but this is a win for grassroots activists on the ground in Virginia, some tea party groups locally, national tea party groups didn't do much in this. But this was an understanding on the part of the voters, I have a little flyer, I don't know if the camera can get this, this is what was being circulated a picture of Eric Cantor with mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. 20 million people out of work. They want 20 million foreign workers in the United States. This was a campaign where the voters understood that if Eric Cantor went back to Washington that was a greenlight for immigration reform, they call it that, the voters called it amnesty. It's so odd, Cantor had his own flyers saying he was against amnesty. He had $5 million to send that one out. I ran into Lindsey graham right after the election, what is Cantor's position on immigration reform? He said. I don't know. That was totally wrong. The interview -- it was stunning to watch that interview. He hasn't learned anything. Eric Cantor wrote, a co-author of the house gop principles on immigration reform. Both the "New York times" and the Washington post said that captured the essence of what was in the senate immigration bill. Luis Gutierrez, you have been leading the charge for immigration reform, was Eric Cantor on your side? I have never had one conversation with Eric Cantor on immigration reform. We were at a religious site in queens together, to talk about the plight of Jews in this country. That's the one time. I think it's regrettable. Look, I'll tell you something, if you allow your opponents to say that immigration reform is amnesty, you're going to lose. I am not for amnesty. I'm for replacing the legal immigration system with a legal immigration system. They have taken away from the table securing our borders. Making sure we have a verification system in this country when somebody gets employed. When we're watching what's happening in Iraq today, we need an even better system of checks and balances about who's coming in and who's going out. Why can't we secure our borders? Because if you talked to anybody on the border and talked to them about security, the first thing you need to do is to you need to have a legal immigration system that allows -- We can't enforce our laws right now. That's not what I'm saying. We can't enforce our laws. Did you not praise his principles on immigration in the house of representatives? Here's what I said, I said, as a democrat, we need to respect the fact that there's a republican majority in the house of representatives and when they put forward those principles by the republican leadership, I said, I want to sit down. Did you not praise his system? Donna, jump in here. I was ready to stand in between Cantor -- If he can't take a joke about the prisoner swap, he has no sense of humor. This woman knows how to throw a puh. I have to tell you somebody who's observing this race, I'm trying to look at all of these primary races. Low turnout. You really got to go out in these low turnout elections, still Eric Cantor did not pay attention to his voters. He lost touch with them and he spent the morning of election day, I mean, this is a very important time to be on the local news, not in the national news, but on the local news, at Starbucks. He should have been krispy kreme down in his district and he was out of touch. The tea party is still highly caffeinated. The tea party is the energy inside the republican party. You ignore them, you ignore the base. And that's a problem. And he ignored the base. I have to ask you, you ran a national presidential debate. And we lost Tennessee. But, look, Cantor ran ads attacking Dave brat by name. Somebody nobody had heard of. Is this like malpractice? He raised his profile. You know, this was a classic David versus goliath. What professor brat had, he had energy and a message and that resonated with voters. This will be clever. Brat, as a true conservative -- attack brat as a liberal. Why, because a democrat put him on some advisory board. If you're to the right on brat on immigration -- And Jon, Lindsey graham's point, this has to be corrected. There were six. Not one of them ran on the issue on immigration. None of them ran the Dave brat campaign. I got to ask -- Jonathan, you have to understand this. None of them ran on that issue. One of the major challenges to lindesy graham. Was on immigration. If I could finish. Let me say the following the fact is that Lindsey graham got more votes this time than he did the last time. Now -- because he said he was for replacing our illegal immigration system. If I could just finish up. And what it's essential to it, I did have conversations with Lindsey graham. I did support the senate version of immigration reform. He defended it before his voters and his voters resoundingly reelected him. Laura, what did you accomplish here, though, those who pushed Cantor out? You now have a more moderate majority leader coming in, in Kevin Mccarthy, and brat has been elected. Ph.d. In economics. Who can't tell us his position on minimum wage. What we know now the issue of immigration is a critical issue in American politics. I'm not running the gop. This is -- let me tell you something, Jonathan, if the results last week were that Cantor won by 11 points, you would be doing "This week," saying greenlight to immigration reform. You wouldn't picking out jokes at a rally saying this got really personal. It would be Eric Cantor is going to be working with people like Luis Gutierrez. On immigration reform. We have to take a quick

Tiny Hotels: Yotel Sees if They'll Fly in U.S.

PHOTO: Capsule hotels have been housing satisfied Japanese clientele for many years.

If your mental image of a Japanese capsule hotel is a wall of 'people drawers' -- a scene somewhat reminiscent of a morgue -- then you're not alone. There's a reason the concept hasn't yet spread to our shores.

But while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, capsule hotels have been housing satisfied Japanese clientele for many years; the first capsule hotel to open was in Osaka, 1979. They're extremely popular there, offering very low cost, usually last minute accommodation for people, in the words of Wikipedia, who are often: "too inebriated to travel safely to their homes, or too embarrassed to face their spouses".

They haven't, however, gained a great deal of traction outside of Japan; hotel developers in the US have flirted with but ultimately rejected the idea of opening capsule hotels here. Not just because Americans tend to be much larger than their Japanese counterparts - but also because, if the Hummer and the Big Gulp are anything to go by, size matters over here. It's hard to imagine the average American eagerly signing up to sleep in a drawer. Shelling out for a hotel after getting too drunk to face a spouse... maybe.

The idea of keeping room costs down by reducing space, however, continued to be something of a no brainer for hotel developers everywhere. The question was, other than budget, what would be the enticement factor? The answer came to Yotel co-creator Simon Woodroffe when he was bumped up to first class on a British Airways flight in 2003, and had a lightbulb moment. If British Airways could pack luxury into a small cabin space, so could he. Woodroffe married his epiphany with Yotel CEO Gerard Greene's vision for an affordable design hotel -- and Yotel was born.

Woodroffe is the brains behind the British Yo! empire, which includes popular UK chain Yo Sushi! Capitalizing on the success of the Yo! brand, Woodroffe and Greene opened the first Yotel at London's Gatwick airport, later expanding to London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schilpol. Opening a Yotel in New York was always a goal because it has the perfect storm of factors that, in Greene's opinion, would guarantee Yotel's success.

"I knew land prices were high," Greene explains. "I knew demand was very strong both both from leisure and corporate, i knew even budget hotels in NY got very high rates and I knew that designer hotels charge $500 plus in NY, so whether it was London or NY, I knew Yotel was going to work."

New York certainly has its fair share of budget conscious visitors, hungry for affordable accommodation. According to New York tourism specialists NYCgo, the average NYC hotel price was a wallet flushing $255 per night in 2010 - compare that to Hotels.com's estimated $165 in Chicago and $185 in London. Add taxes and fees, and a couple staying in one mid-range NY hotel for a three-day weekend are looking at dropping, on average, close to $1,000 on their room alone.

Transcript for US South Hit With Winter Storm, East Coast is Next
This is a special group. Report from -- -- Good afternoon anti Hernandez in New York but an ABC news digital special report. The latest winter blast is hitting this southern states making its way to the East Coast. Before heading north a quarter million homes and businesses in the south have no power right now after the storm left the region coated in snow and ice. And airlines canceled thousands of flights today creating travel headaches that spread across the country. ABC's Devin Dwyer is in Atlanta now tracking the storm that meteorologists say could be catastrophic hello death. -- -- that's right definitely catastrophic it's bearing down right now we're here at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. Home to the 1996 summer games but as you can see today it is a frozen waste land. The snow and ice here turning the south's biggest city. -- -- -- -- It's an icy slushy mess from Dallas to Atlanta and north to Charlotte region not used to such as serious wintry blast. Even under siege. Like snowing ice -- it's not really the soft snow that I'm used to it forecasters warned of the worst ice storm for the self in a decade. For using words like historic catastrophic. And crippling. But the worst yet to come. -- hopefully you are sheltering in place -- prepared for a long day for Atlanta it's a tale of two storms after that nightmare scenario two weeks ago. Today the city's largely deserted National Guard troops are at the ready overnight hundreds of utility vehicles prepared to triage downed trees and power lines. If there's downed power lines -- like -- synagogues. Move away from it. Across the region the roads have been dangerous and deadly. In North Carolina the snow and ice at some drivers it -- at least four people have been killed -- -- -- accidents in Texas two more in Mississippi. First responders across the self working around the clock. What's it like to be a patrol officer. In these kind of elements what is your job harder. Yeah this is -- -- -- -- slip to slam on the gravel plant now we have the slowed things. It's another devastating week for airlines and passengers. At the nation's busiest airport in Atlanta more than 15100 flights have been canceled with more than 2500. Scrapped nationwide. As the storm pushes north it'll keep flyers grounded dumping snow ice and freezing rain all the way up the northeast. Now those power outages are mount -- every hour here more than a quarter million across the south are now in the dark more than a 1151000. Here in Georgia alone all because of this tie this is a quarter inch thick ice it's coating everything here from the streets this is from the streets. And those power lines knocking out electricity time. Incredible -- how much worse are the power outages expects to get at this point or have they. Leveled off and are just trying to tackle in getting people back on the grid. Whether they're talking here about this being catastrophic event a lot of comparison to the last major ice storm hit Atlanta in 2000 that one. Knocked out power for about a half a million homes in businesses just in this state alone cost 35 million dollars. They're -- this storm -- be a lot worse as you mentioned they're using these words we don't normally hear full pat forecasters use at least these him sparingly. Catastrophic historic crippling we're still hearing them and as you can see the ice is still coming down is still a good bit of time left on this -- to -- -- And DeVon about the flight cancellations. So many of them which airlines are the hardest hit right now. It's brutal over -- at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson affect the airport. We just got an update they are open for business there at the airport believe it or not about 300 flights getting out today. I've got more than 70%. Of -- -- canceled the airline's biggest affected of course Delta Airlines AirTran. Both -- based here in Atlanta base their operations here virtually shut down and delta told us this morning. That they had so many cancellations that some of their flight attendants who were stranded at the airport had to spend the night sleeping on some of their planes of course that gates. But just to give me an idea how much this place is frozen in lockdown people stranded everywhere time. -- Devin Dwyer in Atlanta thank you for joining us. In the heart of all that weather now let's bring in AccuWeather Heather Waldman and there. This last storm we talked about in the south got just two inches of snow and -- -- got pretty bad. If some video of the traffic situation that just that little bit of snow. Had created a lot of accidents there on the road people backed up for miles and miles. Let's talk about this storm in comparison to that because of that was bad I can imagine what this once and -- Yet that's right more ice and snow coming with this storm -- -- last week's storm may have been a bit of a saving grace for Atlanta. Sort of woke everybody up that made them realize hey we can get the winter weather -- so. The -- has lots of people in the Atlanta area did heed the warnings they are off the roads. The city does look like a bit of a ghost town now but we've got Arctic air meeting gulf moisture that's -- setting up for the sleeps. The freezing rain the heavy snow all of that in the southeast right now it's going to be moving into the mid Atlantic and northeast. They head into tonight and tomorrow but first we'll focus on the southeast heavy sleet and ice falling across much of northern Georgia Atlanta right now. That's -- some lighter freezing rain but don't let your guard down right now we've seen well over half an inch of ice accumulate on roads power lines trees you name it. And we still have some light precipitation continuing the heaviest in the Columbia, South Carolina where in the city we have reports of over an inch of ice on the ground. And just in the north and west we've seen accumulations of 345. Inches of snow. So absolutely -- mess here in South Carolina as you heard earlier. Power outages totaling in the hundreds of thousands and those are only going to be going up. We have through tonight unfortunately these there would be areas where we expect the ice to -- the most severe stretching from Atlanta again Colombia I just mentioned in including Fayetteville as well as rally. Through the rest of tonight we're talking ice accumulations. Well over half an interest got a lot of moisture with this system in unfortunately. A lot of cold air is meeting up with its and that means downed trees widespread power out these roads are going to be completely shut down. Actually governor deal in Georgia has ordered everybody to stay off the roadways in the Atlanta area unless they are part of emergency personnel and again a good thing a lot of people seem to heed that warning here's how things looked at the rest of this afternoon heavy rain continuing for much of the deep south the stronger thunderstorms. For the Florida Panhandle -- the Orlando and Tampa area's. One -- watch out for some gusty winds here this afternoon as well the icy mix. Continuing for areas farther off to the north Birmingham getting a little bit of snow mixing in later tonight Atlanta will as well. Heavier snow is going to start to pick up into the southern appalachians later on tonight -- Here's a better look at things on a snow totals map generally one to three inches here across northern Mississippi Alabama into Georgia again Atlanta. Getting in had a little bit of snow here later on tonight. And Kevin Willis tell -- going to flow. Sorry -- can you tell us about the storm moving north. Right so I was just getting to the snow totals here for the north the heaviest of the -- Going to move into the northeast as we head into tonight looks like Harrisburg.

Mud Volcanoes (Vulcanii Noroiosi)

The geothermal wonder called mud volcanoes can be found in Buzau County, in Romania. While upon first hearing the name, we might tend to think about a frightening phenomenon, the reality is that mud volcanoes are craters in miniature.

Mud volcanoes are formed with the help of natural gases that exist at more than 3000 m depth. These enter in contact with the phreatic sheet and the clayey soil found at the surface and the result is a fluid paste of an ashen coloration which is known as a mud volcano. This is a very rare phenomenon in the world, but Romania has more than 30 hectares covered with these volcanoes.

The mud volcanoes definitely create an unusual image, conveying a gloomy look to the landscape. Tourists are bedazzled not only by the volcanoes themselves but by the scenery these form together with the unique vegetation which has adapted to the saline environment. If you get real close to the volcanoes, you can actually hear the ground “mumbling” – a voice coming from the depths of the land.

Due to the visual effect conveyed to the setting, the region is also known as marshes. The structure of the mud volcanoes is similar to that of the conventional volcanoes, only that in this case, the eruption does not provoke devastating effects. The cons do not exceed 5 or 6 meters in height which is a direct cause of the distance to which the “volcanic emission” is being thrown. Due to this phenomenon, the entire region is arid – an exception making the plants which have adapted to the dry and salt soil, as it has been previously mentioned.

Other tourist attractions in the region

This is definitely a place worth visiting as you are going to gaze upon something you have never seen before. There are other tourist attractions in the area so you should make sure that you get around to all of them.

For starters, you should check out Sarata Monteoru which is one of the most important balneo-therapy resorts in the area. It is located at 20 Km from Buzau and it is renowned for the efficient treatments (with mineral, sulfurous and calcic springs) it offers for all sorts of illnesses. The area is visited by a considerable number of tourists on an annual basis due to the clean air, the picturesque landscape and the cures conducted at the resort.

In this region, you can also see Istrita Hill, where the treasure “The Hen with the Golden Chicks” has been foun,d and you can visit the Amber Museum or the Nucu region which is famous for the paranormal activity developed here.

The Amber Museum is located in Colti commune, Buzau district, and resembles a rural house with three levels, but only the downstairs and the first floor are arranged. The collection on display at the museum is singular not only on the Romanian territory by worldwide. Among the objects you can admire there is a piece of amber weighting more than 1800 grams and another of 1500 grams, both having a vivid coloration which ranges from transparent yellow to green and opaque black.

But not only segments of amber are found here. The museum has on display icons, documents, photographs, jewelry from the modern age, popular attire, weaving instruments, but also documents which present the means through which amber is exploited.

Amber is actually a multicolored resin which is formed from different types of pine trees, its age being estimated at 50-60 million years.

Visiting hours for the Amber Museum:

Wednesday- Friday and Sunday:  9:00 – 17:00;

Saturday: 9:00 – 14:00;

Monday and Tuesday – closed.

Voters in California contemplate forming new state

By The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Residents of California's largely rural, agrarian and politically conservative far northern counties long ago got used to feeling ignored in the state Capitol and out of sync with major urban areas.

 The idea of forming their own state has been a topic among local secession dreamers for more than a century. Residents in two counties will have a chance to voice that sentiment next week.

 Voters in Del Norte and Tehama, with a combined population of about 91,000, will decide June 3 on an advisory measure that asks each county's board of supervisors to join a wider effort to form a 51st state named Jefferson.

 Elected officials in Glenn, Modoc, Siskiyou and Yuba counties already voted to join the movement. Supervisors in Butte County will vote June 10, while local bodies in other northern counties are awaiting the June 3 ballot results before deciding what to do.

 A similar but unrelated question on the primary ballot in Siskiyou County asks voters to rename that county the Republic of Jefferson.

 "We have 11 counties up here that share one state senator," compared to 20 for the greater Los Angeles area and 10 for the San Francisco Bay Area, said Aaron Funk of Crescent City, a coastal town in Del Norte County near the Oregon border. "Essentially, we have no representation whatsoever."

 The current county secession efforts are merely advisory, encouraging local officials to further study the idea. The steps involved in trying to become the country's 51st state are steep, first requiring approval from the state Legislature, then from Congress.

 The counties that could opt in - as many as 16, according to supporters - make up more than a quarter of the state's land mass but only a small portion of its population.

 The seven counties that have voted or will this month have a combined geographic area twice the size of New Hampshire, with about 467,000 residents.

 The terrain spans some of California's most majestic coastal scenery to flat inland terrain, Mount Shasta and Redwood national parks. Some of its residents are also are among the state's poorest, and the population is far different from California as a whole.

 While the state has no racial majority and Hispanics make up the largest ethnic group, residents in the far northern counties are overwhelmingly white.

 Because the exact makeup of the proposed state of Jefferson is still unknown, it is hard to assess the potential economic impact. The state Department of Finance does not have a county-by-county comparison of what each contributes in state revenue versus what it receives.

 But the loss of millions of dollars for everything from infrastructure to schools is among the biggest worries of residents who oppose the secession movement. The Del Norte County Board of Education, which receives 90 percent of its funding, or $32 million, from the state, voted to oppose the local initiative, known as Measure A.

 If it passes, Kevin Hendrick worries that local officials will spend years studying how to create a new state rather than tackling concrete problems such as fixing a crumbling highway that is in danger of falling into the ocean.

 "It's a lot of broad promises about things being better and representation being better," said Hendrick, who is leading the opposition in Del Norte. "But the more they talk, the less clear it becomes about how that's actually going to happen."

 It's also unclear how the new state would pay for federally mandated education, social welfare, health care and other programs or a host of other services residents rely on. Proponents say they would scrap thousands of regulations and state agencies, freeing Jefferson's leaders to spend how they want and attract more businesses.

 "We have the water, forests, timber, we have the minerals. We have unspoiled agricultural land," said Funk, the secession proponent. "We would be the wealthy state if we were allowed to go back and use our natural resources ourselves."

 Much of the land in what would become the state of Jefferson is federal, and that wouldn't change if the region became its own state.

 A separate effort by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper, borne out of the same belief that the state of 38 million has become ungovernable, would create "six Californias," including a state of Jefferson comprised of 13 counties. The state legislative analyst's office found Jefferson would rank near the bottom of the six.

 Many state-of-Jefferson meetings are held in conjunction with tea party groups, who share similar concerns over what Siskiyou County Supervisor Marcia Armstrong calls "so many nanny laws" coming from Sacramento.

 "We are very libertarian in view, and we believe that people would have freedom to make their own choices as long as they don't impose on other people's rights," she said.

Event book sales support Rocky Mountain Chapter

By Carol Carpenter
RMC Communications Team

Would you like the opportunity to meet one of the world’s greatest landscape photographers and also see and hear how state lottery funds have made Colorado a better place to live? If so, plan to attend “Colorado's Great Outdoors: Celebrating 20 Years of Lottery-Funded Lands” in Denver on Friday, Dec. 7.

World-renowned photographer, John Fielder, will showcase his incomparable landscape photography and highlight his preservation work with Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) over the past two decades.

Dave Read, Sierra Club Rocky Mountain Chapter (RMC) Fundraising chair, said the Denver area is fortunate to have John Fielder in person to entertain and educate the community.
“John Fielder is in high demand by various environmental and other nonprofit groups that know his unique and masterful photography speaks volumes of nature’s beauty and our undeniable connection to it,” Read said. “No one better displays work that touches and inspires us to enjoy, explore and protect our natural heritage. He is a Colorado treasure, and his time with us is a priceless, a one-of-a-kind opportunity for our members and supporters.”

Fielder will present a slide show of his photography, featuring images that document the wonderful preservation work GOCO is doing, using state lottery funds. He will showcase scenes and recount his impressions of GOCO successes in its mission to preserve, protect, enhance and manage the state's wildlife, park, river, trail and open space.

Fielder’s perennial calendars and books, including his two newest─”Guide to Colorado's Great Outdoors: Lottery-Funded Parks, Trails, Wildlife Areas & Open Spaces,” and picture book, “Colorado's Great Outdoors: Celebrating 20 Years of Lottery-Funded Lands”─will be available for purchase and signing before and after the presentation.

The event─co-sponsored by RMC and Colorado Clean Water Action (CCWA)─is also a celebration of the anniversary of the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972.

As a gift to ongoing state conservation and advocacy efforts, Fielder will donate 30 percent of the night’s book and calendar sales to RMC and CCWA.

Read said attending this event, which includes a silent auction and refreshments, is the “perfect way” to celebrate significant triumphs in conservation and environmental protection policy.

“It will be a great time to relax and enjoy some beautiful photography and tales of conservation milestones with like-minded folks,” he said. “It is a chance to treat yourself or someone special to some truly great gifts while, at the same time, contribute to the ongoing, vital work of Sierra Club and Clean Water Action.”

Space is limited. Click here for details and tickets now!
