it's a russian guard picking up the snow there. he's actually taking part in the ceremonious changing of the guard. this change happens every hour rain or shine at russia's tomb of the unknown. >> pretty cool. check this out. not a kiss, they are not bumping kids. it's a traditional hello in new zealand. on the left the president of miramar as he arrives in new zealand. the touching of the noses means visitors are one with the people who live there. pretty cool. >> traditional greeting there. we're out of time. i've got to go. thanks for watching "around the world." and over to you. some of the biggest names in conservative politics gathering in maryland, but cpac, the
10:03 am
conservative political action conference making headlines for the big republican names not invited. and here we go again. another cruise ship having trouble. this time it is the carnival dream. passengers are complaining it is becoming a nightmare. and the selection of a pope from argentina has latinos overjoyed. we're going to go to los angeles where 70% of the archdiocese is la latino. horrible conditions, stuck on a cruise, sound familiar? just a month after carnival triumph disaster another carnival cruise vacation has now gone bad. this time the cruise line's dream ship got stuck in st. maarten. its emergency generator failed. right now passengers they're waiting to be flown back to florida. they've been kept on the boat for hours. pretty bad conditions here. one of the passengers is now joining us by phone. this is greg start.
10:04 am
he is on board this ship. he is with his family. and, greg, just take us through what has happened. what has this experience been like for you? >> it's been pretty horrible. yesterday around 4:30 p.m. we were supposed to leave and they announced about 5:30 that we were not leaving and that they needed to do some testing. and they had to shut some elevators -- shut down elevators and toilets. they tested that. i would say everything was down for a few hours. and then they came back. they made it sound like it was going to be fixed. and then later in the evening probably around 10:00 at night, 9:00 at night they did another test. and shut everything down. and at that time it was down for probably about three hours. during that time the toilets and everything started overflowing. down in the main general lobby areas where people were
10:05 am
frequenting the bathroom. we went down there and spoke with guest services. they didn't even have a supervisor that was on duty. we had to pull them off duty. and he was totally unaware of any of the bathrooms overflowing. we offered to go show him where it was at. and, you know, he was really not interested in it. we tried to get off the boat at that time. and they told us that the port authority was not available 24 hours a day and that we would have to wait until the morning. >> gregg, i understand you're there with your wife and kids? >> it's pretty bad. >> i understand you're with your wife and two young children. how are the kids reacting to all of this? >> i'm sorry? >> you're there with your two kids and your wife. i wonder how your kids are reacting to all this. >> they are actually okay. last night when the worst part was they were actually sleeping. so they weren't really exposed to it too much. we did pack up our entire room and everything last night in case, you know, we needed to
10:06 am
quickly get off the boat. but they have been okay for the most part. >> and what was it like after you packed up the room and the kids were sleeping, you got up this morning. did you see anything different? did it improve at all? >> the only difference this morning was that the bathrooms were working and that the elevators were working. we actually didn't get an update from anybody on the ship until about 11:00 during the day at which point they told us they would be flying everybody back to orlando. for the most part right now everything is working on the ship, however they do have the water park on the ship turned off to conserve energy and the main dining room is closed. >> all right. gregg, do let us know how you and your family do. and if you guys get on your way when you actually are able to get home. thanks again, gregg. appreciate it. he only accepted his
10:07 am
position 25 hours ago, right? now pope francis well into day one and he's hitting the ground running. just a short time ago he celebrated his first mass as pope with the cardinals who elected him. the american catholic church has been rocked by scandal and declining membership as you know. but many are actually hopeful that that could possibly change. casey wian is showing us latinos in los angeles hoping that the first pope from the americas will bring new life to an old church. >> reporter: it's as if catholics in the new world have been waiting six centuries for a voice, especially latinos. they are very happy to have a new pope especially everyone in latin america, we are very happy. for a long time we were waiting for somebody like that to come from latin america. >> the americas now are on the map. >> reporter: los angeles arch bishop jose gomez leads the
10:08 am
large dioceses in the united states. >> it is to have a new pope of the first america. >> reporter: in 2011 gomez replaced mahoney, one of many u.s. church leaders tainted by a cover-up of child sex abuse by priests. >> i still think we need to deal with our priests and the stories that we hear about molestation and all of that. that's a big burden on the church right now. >> reporter: it's just one of the issues on the minds of american catholics including the role of women in the church and immigration reform. >> there's no reason why this newly elected pope coming from argentina would not be highly sensitive to this issue. >> reporter: the name st. francis is especially significant. >> building the church a new is wonderful example for all of us today and always. >> reporter: the catholics we spoke with shared one thing, faith for the new pope to lead the church. >> i'm not really going to
10:09 am
comment about that because i think that's something to leave to the holy father to address. as a faithful catholic we will follow his lead and direction in any way he takes us. >> do you think the church needs to change in any way? >> probably, but we don't know exactly. he don't know what he's going to do. >> want to bring in casey wian. casey, talk a little about what the catholic church has meant when it comes to education in los angeles. >> reporter: well, suzanne, it's no secret that the los angeles unified school district has been underperforming for years and years. catholic schools provide an alternative for many parents. there are 250 in the los angeles arch diocesedioceses, 120,000 s also many on scholarship. the catholic church is the largest social welfare organization in the united states. it serves 7.8 million needy people last year of all faiths,
10:10 am
suzanne. >> that's a very significant contribution. thank you very much, casey. appreciate it. any moment now we are watching florida senator marco rubio is going to go to the podium. this is the conservative political action conference annual meeting taking place. he's one of the key gop players wlo did get invite today this political gathering just outside of washington. new jersey governor chris christie and bob mcdonald two of the noted republicans not invited. there you see rubio there. the event considered really a gauge of conservative thinking and even early preview of the 2016 early presidential race. he is just starting to speak. we want to bring in brianna keilar at this event. tell us why this moment is important for him, brianna. >> reporter: certainly this is an event, suzanne, that i think people look at really wonder how relevant cpac is but certainly often relevant in the fact that you're seeing sort of upcoming
10:11 am
political players in the republican party. a lot of them come here maybe for their debut or to kind of cement their status. but there's another issue this year that i think makes this something that's more to watch. and that is what is the future of the republican party? that is actually the theme of this year's conference at a time where republicans agree that what they've been doing isn't really working. so this is supposed to be kind of an idea forum although at times it does sort of take this political stage. and i think there will be a lot of what these speakers are discussing today will be kind of looking to see what their ideas are for the future of the republican party. big names that we're seeing today this hour in fact. senator marco rubio, who as we understand will kind of be following on what he said during his response to president obama's state of the union speech, the theme of his remarks will be why limited government is something that is good for the middle class. and then i think something really to watch will be the remarks of senator rand paul.
10:12 am
he comes right after senator rubio. and the -- i will tell you, his camp is setting expectations pretty high here. he sees this kind of following on that filibuster of the president's cia director nomination last week as sort of his chance to cement his role here not just as a big name, but as a name for the republican mainstream. so we'll see if he's able to do that. but he's going to be trying to take i'm told a very serious leadership tone and give what i've been told is a uniting speech. we will see if he is able to deliver on that, suzanne. >> all right. brianna, we'll check back in with you later in that conference to see his speech as well as many of the others. we also want to remind our viewers here, a program note here, jake tapper, he's got his new show called "the lead" starting at 4:00 p.m. eastern and that's on monday on cnn right here. you're going to want to watch. here's what we're working on as well for this hour. republicans as you're seeing meeting in maryland doing some soul searching at this
10:13 am
conservative political action conference. we're going to continue to check-in live throughout the hour. plus, live reports from phoenix. that of course where the jodi arias trial continues. and imagine free falling in terror after your parachute fails. the skydiver lives to tell about this terrifying experience. let's see what you got. rv -- covered. why would you pay for a hotel? i never do. motorcycles -- check.

atv. i ride those. do you? no. boat. house. hello, dear. hello. hello. oh! check it -- [ loud r&b on car radio ] i'm going on break! the more you bundle, the more you save. now, that's progressive. how did i know? well, i didn't really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive... but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child,
10:15 am
or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low? turn it up! [ male announcer ] in a clinical study, over 80% of treated men had their t levels restored to normal. talk to your doctor about all your symptoms. get the blood tests. change your number. turn it up. androgel 1.62%.
10:16 am
10:17 am
are supposed to be used by kids who actually have adhd. a group got together saying enough is enough we're tired of parents asking for us for adhd drugs when their children don't have the disease, the parents just want the child to be able to focus better to turn a b student into an a student. so these neurologists have gotten togethr to tell parents don't do this. and they're also telling doctors, hey, don't give into this. when a parent comes to you and wants these drugs just so this child can improve their grade point average, just say no. suzanne. >> elizabeth, remind our viewers you say the disease, remind us what that is. >> right. adhd is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. it's when a child has a severe, severe problem focusing and paying attention. not when a kid is reading and looking around and looking out the window. my kids don't have adhd, but they do that all the time.
10:18 am
kids just sometimes do that. it doesn't mean that they actually need drugs. there is a real difference between a kid who might be a little spacey sometimes and a kid who actually has adhd and could truly benefit from these drugs. >> so what is the danger if you had that kind of drug and this child did not have adhd? >> first of all, we don't really know the long-term effects of drugs for adhd. that really hasn't been studied for many, many decades to look at what it would do to a child. but even in the short-term we know that these drugs can have issues. for example, children can sometimes become irritable when they're taking these drugs. they can develop insomnia, loss of appetite, they can even develop and this is not the majority of children, but some can develop heart arrhythmias, this is not just like giving your child a piece of candy. these are serious drugs. >> all right. elizabeth, thank you very much. and of course want to let folks know if you want more information about when you should actually test your child
10:19 am
for adhd, you can go to cnn.com/empower cnn.com/empoweredpatients. following people in one new york neighborhood filling the streets now for the third straight night to show their anger at the police. so this is east flat bush in brooklyn. a protest started last night peacefully turned ugly however when people threw bricks and bottles at this police station. the tension has been rising since police shot dead a 16-year-old just last weekend. officers say the teenager pointed a gun at them. more than 45 people were arrested last night. mostly for disorderly conduct. also in new york, this is really sad. a woman she fell eight stories to her death while holding her 10-month-old baby. >> the baby bounced off her chest on to the floor face down and was crying. my mother tried to pick up the baby, but there was already a detective there. and it was his responsibility after that. >> you look a little shaken up.
10:20 am
>> yeah. i wish i never witnessed that. i wish nobody ever has to witness that. it's disturbing. and horrible. >> that's awful. the apartment building in west harlem police say 45-year-old mother died instantly but somehow this baby survived. and neighbors say they heard arguing in the apartment before the baby's mother fell. investigators, they have not officially said whether or not this woman committed suicide. want to go to the cpac conference in washington. we're following it. senator marco rubio. let's listen in. >> america's changed and our people have changed that we reach this point in time and we have too many people in america that want too much from government and that maybe the changes that have happened are irreversible and it will never be the same again. i want you to understand that's not true. our people have not changed. the vast majority of the american people are hard working
10:21 am
taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in the community, this is what the vast majority of the american people still are. what's changed is the world around us. it's changed in dramatic ways. skrus think how much the world has changed in the last ten years. the global economy is real. we don't live in a national economy anymore. everything you buy, everything you sell, everything you touch, it's all impacted by things that are happening halfway around the world. the information age is real that's made our lives easier. it's allowed you right now to take pictures with your phones and tweet every word i say for or against me. it's changed the world. and it's made our life easier. it's also changed our economy. you go into a grocery store today and you will find machines doing the jobs that people once used to do. you find a day in many businesses that one person because of automation can do the work five people used to do. it's the work around us that's
10:22 am
changed. and this has had an impact on our people. on our hard working people. many have seen jobs wiped out. jobs they've been doing for 20 years disappeared overnight. many of them -- and many of them do things the right way. for example, they pay their mortgages on time. and now when the housing bubble came they were stuck with a bill for bailing out the banks that caused it, for bailing out the people who took out mortgages that couldn't afford to pay. everywhere they look they see trouble around them. they look to washington, d.c. as if they don't have enough troubles to begin with. every week washington's creating some sort of manmade crisis for them to worry about. and they look at the political process whether it's fair or not and what many of them see is they think that one side is fighting for the people that have made it. and all the other side does is fight for government policy to protect the people who are struggling. and they don't want to take anything away from anybody, the vast majority of americans and the hard working middle class.
10:23 am
they don't want to take away from people that have made it. they don't want to hurt the people that are trying. but they wonder who's fighting for them. who's fighting for the hard working every day people of this country who do things right and do not complain, that have built this nation and made it exceptional? and as conservative believers in limited government and free enterprise, that is both our challenge and our opportunity to be their voice. by the way, i can't think of a better call. because our hard working middle class is one of the things that makes america different and special from the rest of the world. every country in the world has rich people. unfortunately every country in the world has poor people. but few have the kind of vibrant widespread middle class that america does. a widespread middle class that everyone we have said should have an equal part opportunity to be part of the middle class or even better. it sets us apart from the world. in that light you hear all this debate about infighting among conservatives, infighting among people that believe in limited
10:24 am
government. that's really a foolish notion. people who disagree on all sorts of things in the real world work together all the time on things they do agree on. and there has to be a -- >> our brianna keilar is actually at this conference. also weighing in our chief political correspondent candy crowley here in washington. good to see both of you. brianna, you're there. i want to start with you first here. what are the conservatives in that audience, what are they listening for in his speech? >> you know, i think they're actually listening for some of what we heard from him before. and that's really what they're going to get. he's talking about actually something that reminds me a little bit of president obama. he's talking about the middle class and equal opportunities for the middle class. so taking a page out of president obama's book and this is really his message that we heard in his response to president obama's state of the union. we're not expecting any new policy prescriptions coming from marco rubio. i will tell you people have been flooding in here ahead of the
10:25 am
speech, it's standing room only at this point. they have great expectations obviously to listen to marco rubio and what i've been told by someone close to him is sort of a venue that's personally important to him. remember he gave a keynote speech here in 2010 when he really wasn't that well-known and he was running for u.s. senate. he alluded to that. he talked about how i was here talking about running for the u.s. senate when i had about as much a chance of winning as i did a papal conclave and i managed to win. next up we'll be listening for rand paul, it's a really big hour here at cpac for conservatives who have come to watch these speakers. >> candy, i want to bring you into the discussion here. how important is the gathering of conservative republicans? you've covered many of these conferences before. is this really kind of a test case, a tryout for 2016? >> oh, sure. absolutely. and it's the most important thing until the next important thing. the republicans are as we like
10:26 am
to say in the wilderness right now. this is a party that is not in the white house. when you do not have a member of your party in the oval office, there comes sort of the internal search. this is part of that, the conservative wing of the party. cpac has been very influential both moneywise and certainly in terms of support for presidential candidates and on down the line. this gives us a very early cattle call, if you will, the sort of inelegant name we use for, hey, what about this guy for 2016? so make no mistake about it this is an electric speaker inside the republican party. they really like marco rubio. he's young, he's a son of cuban immigrants. there is a lot to kind of recommend him to the national stage. so they are sizing these guys up not just about the next couple of years what are you going to do in the senate or where' the conservative movement going, but how do i feel about this guy? and it is not a mistake, i don't think, that he and rand paul, two of the most talked about
10:27 am
members of perhaps the 2016 class of republicans are talking back-to-back. i think that comparison was meant to be. so, yes, this is absolutely about 2016 and the direction of the republican party. >> all right. candy, brianna, good to see you guys as always. we'll be keeping a close eye on that conference. and what candy was mentioning before is republican now known for his marathon speaking. take you back to the cpac conference, the conservative political action conference right outside of washington where rand paul is also expected to speak soon. i am absolutely positive! [ little boy ] two times is awesome. the thing i can do is wave my head and wave my... that's amazing. i've never seen anything like that. look i can do -- hold on -- i'm watching this. i'm getting dizzy...

in new orleans crews are continuing to search for a missing teacher. police are combing the bayous, the ponds near the area where she disappeared. there are still no signs of terrilynn monette. she was last seen on february 2nd celebrating her nomination for teacher of the year. nick valencia has the latest. >> reporter: a search team from the equusearch organization is trying to find a schoolteacher missing for nearly two weeks. >> i can't sleep at night.
10:31 am
i can't sleep at night. i can't eat. i keep thinking about my child and where she could be. i just want her back. so please if you're listening and you're watching this, please bring terrilynn home. >> reporter: terrilynn monette's mother spoke from outside the popular bar where her daughter was last seen on march second. she went there with friends to celebrate her nomination as district teacher of the year. the search is focused on the waterways and canals around city park that would have been on her way home. equusearch helped in the high profile searches for natalee holway. she was in her first year of teaching second graders at woodland west. >> if you're a superhero in any way, she is the superest of superheroes because she came in with a beautiful smile, a determined attitude and a lot of intelligence that helped her
10:32 am
students to really elevate their test scores. >> reporter: tim miller, founder of equusearch says he knows what monette's family is going through. his own daughter turned up dead 17 months after she disappeared. >> i've been there before my own self and know what this family's going through. and when i heard mom on tv yesterday crying, how can you -- how can you help not to help? >> i just want my baby back. >> reporter: monette's mother says she plans to stay in new orleans until her daughter is found. she says she's convinced she was kidnapped by somebody who forced their way into her car. a 2012 two-door black honda is also missing. nick valencia, cnn, new orleans. >> we have new information coming in to cnn. go to barbara starr at the pentagon. we are learning of conflict or tension between iranian military and u.s. drones. what do we know?
10:33 am
>> well, suzanne, there has now been a confrontation flt earlier this week we have learned that a u.s. drone was confronted by iranian war planes over the persian gulf. it was a u.s. predator drone flying in international air space in the persian gulf when iran spotted it. and sources are telling us, confirming, that iran sent some of its own planes into the air over the persian gulf to shadow this drone, to dog it around and try and see what it was up to. now, no shots were fired. but these drone missions are especially sensitive for the united states because they go out over that water and they basically spy on iran and try and find out while still in international air space what iran's military may be up to. this is not the first time. sveral months ago iran fired at a u.s. drone over the persian gulf. that didn't happen this time. and of course you remember in
10:34 am
2011 iran captured a u.s. spy plane after it crashed inside of iran. the latest one of these incidents makes for some tension because the u.s. doesn't want to of course see it get out of hand and hostilities accidentally begin or inadvertently begin. >> barbara, do we have any idea if the pentagon is reacting to this? how are they reacting to the fact that this u.s. drone was targeted? >> well, that's really the core of it, isn't it? a senior u.s. official is telling me is these have happened before, but the message we send to iran is we, the u.s. military, are in international air space and we are prepared to defend our aircraft, manned, remotely piloted, whatever it is. they are prepared to defend u.s. assets in the persian gulf that they say are in international air space. so that's the message they're sending. they're very clear they don't want to start hostilities with iran, but when these things happen, they will defend themselves. >> barbara, how do they send
10:35 am
that message? is that something that happens diplomatically or beef up assets over there? >> well, i think they're feeling iran well knows this. when the news reports come out, they try and be very clear that they put out their message. and it's really interesting because in this case it all began with a news report out of iran saying that they had basically targeted an american spy plane, a u-2 aircraft, a manned aircraft that flies at very high altitude. the u.s. was very clear that didn't happen. but they did confirm to me three officials that it was this predator drone. so sensitive missions, but they are willing to confirm some details because they want iran to know perhaps that they know what iran is up to. or at least that's their view. >> all right. thank you, barbara. appreciate that. we know this, she spent marathon 18 days right on the stand answering more than 200 jury questions. this is what a lot of folks have

10:40 am
president obama who seemed once upon a time to respect civil liberties has become the president who signed a law allowing for indefinite detention of an american citizen. indeed a law that allows an american citizen to be sent to guantanamo bay without a trial. now, president obama defends his signing of this bill by stating that he has no intention of detaining an american citizen without a trial. likewise he defended possible drone strikes on americans by indicating that he had no intention of doing so. well, my 13-hour filibuster was a message to the president, good intentions are not enough. [ applause ] the presidential oath of office
10:41 am
states "i will protect, preserve and defend the constitution." it doesn't say, well, i intend to when it's convenient. mr. president, good intentions are not enough. we want to know, will you or won't you defend the constitution? eisenhower wrote "how far can you go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without." if we destroy our enemy but lose what defines our freedom in the process, have we really won? if we allow one man to charge americans as enemy combatants and indefinitely detain or drone them, then what exactly is it that our brave young men and women are fighting for?
10:42 am
[ applause ] >> listening to kentucky senator rand paul. just one of many conservative republicans who have gathered just outside of washington. you heard him there taking on the president over presidential and executive power. we're going to be dipping in, listening in to that conference as it continues throughout the afternoon. a lot of debate and speculation over whether or not those main speakers will be considered for run in 2016. florida's lieutenant governor has resigned. jennifer carol stepped down after being questioned by investigators about her role in an allegedly corrupt barrens charity. her resignation came the same day 57 people connected with the charity were arrested on racketeering and money laundering charges. he formally served in the florida state house. she was tapped to run as governor rick scott's running mate in 2010. the defense now continues their case in the jodi arias trial where today's focus is

murder. ted rowlands is at the courthouse in phoenix. so, ted, what do we hope -- or rather what does the defense hope to accomplish with the witnesses today? >> reporter: well, basically here's the thing. she has this great memory on the stand. she remembers dates. she remembers specific things that happened to her as a child, as an adult. but she can't remember everything that happened during the actual murder, the details of that. and so these two witnesses are coming on, a psychologist and then also a domestic violence expert, to basically explain to the jury that because this was such a traumatic event that's why she has selective memory. and this has been a problem for her on the stand for the last 18 days, you mentioned it. the prosecutor in this case, juan martinez, hammered away at her yesterday on her final day on the stand getting to her asking her why she couldn't remember. and basically poking holes in her story. let's take a quick listen to some of that. >> started to come in after the
10:47 am
gunshot. after i got up and he threatened my life, i had no clear memories after that. >> and that's when the memory issue started, correct? right? >> i'd say that. >> actually, ma'am, the way you describe that, it's impossible for the killing to have happened in that manner, isn't it? >> reporter: i think she was on safe to say that everybody was happy yesterday when at the end of the day she was finally done, there were no more questions for jodi arias. we're still waiting for court to resume now. we're expecting it at any minute. she's in the courtroom, everybody's there just waiting for the judge. >> ted, we know she got a lot of questions from the jurors, more than 200 or so. based on their questions, do they believe her story? is there any way of indicating which way they're leaning? >> reporter: well, here's the thing, when you're in the courtroom and listen to her, it is amazing how accurate she is and how difficult it is to trip her up on the details of what happened. the problem is is that she has a
10:48 am
story that doesn't make as much sense as the prosecution's story in terms of what happened. she says it was self-defense. she dropped a camera and her boyfriend freaked out to the point where he wanted to kill her. the prosecution's theory is that she was a jilted lover, the glenn close character from "fatal attraction" basically and that makes more sense. whether or not she was strong enough on the stand to save herself is remaining to be seen. will be amazing to hear from the jurors when this is all over. >> absolutely. ted, thank you very much. appreciate it. this story absolutely incredible. surviving the odds a skydiver lives to tell about a terrifying fall after his parachute fails. i have low testosterone. there, i said it.
10:49 am
how did i know? well, i didn't really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive... but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure.
10:50 am
men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low? turn it up!

u.s. stocks looking great. still advancing after the doucet its tenth straight day of record highs. so, where are we now, allison, how are we doing? >> still trading in the plus column, suzanne. dow up 51 points. we found out the first-time claims for unemployment fell 10,000 to 332,000. what that basically shows is things in the job market continue to slowly but surely improve. it really wasn't a stunner of a report, so what's really driving the market is momentum. that's what's kind of interesting, as well, because the headline sounds great, the dow, you know, it's breaking records every day, and it is,
10:58 am
but barely. you look at the moves at the close when the closing bell rings, they aren't huge. yesterday, the dow eked out a 5-point gain, yesterday, two points higher. technically, yes, it's a record. every day the dow ends higher from the level of 14,164. right now it's 14,507. it's getting up there, suzanne. >> that's good. do we expect it to continue, or is there fear it could drop? >> that's the money question, isn't it? there really aren't many traders in the game right now. that could put the gains in jeopardy, especially in the short term. so could any random piece of negative news. if it happens, if you see stocks turn into the red, it could wind up being 10% to 15%. that's less than the dow made these kinds of records, so it sounds pretty bad, may not be so bad, especially since the dow is getting up there. for now, suzanne, we are on sort of s&p 500 record watch.
10:59 am
the dow's already hit it, now it's the s&p 500's turn. if it does hit the record of 1565, it would be bigger. not only because your 401(k), your portfolio tracks that index, but if it hits that record, it could mean more momentum for the overall market to move higher. suzanne? >> sounds good. appreciate it. honda doing a worldwide recall of 250,000 recalls because of a brake problem. 2005 honda odyssey mini van, 2005 pilot suv. 2005 acura rl sedan. 2006 acura msx suv. honda says no accidents or injuries have been reported because of this problem. the issue is the car's electronic stability control system. now, that is what supplies brakes automatically to stop skidding, but in some cases, this system is braking unnecessarily. well, that's it for me. thanks for
