it's called highlight. there is a lot of stuff that might just be about people meeting people, but socializing is the big undercurrent here. you're coming here, right? >> yeah, i'm catching a flight later, so you can show me these things. i have a video that some guys shot that basically shows how this restaurant basically -- they kind of got kicked out, right, and we set up our cnn grill, which is the epicenter of, i'm sure, all things technology and cool. what's the best part? >> reporter: this is the place to be. this is max's wine bar, you're watching it transform into the cnn grill. a great space. the sign goes up. everybody can find it. this is the place to be. you can follow us on twitter at cnnsxsw, sboouth by southwest, d brooke, when you get here, i'm going to give you a princess's

welcome. >> we will be doing our show there on monday. i cannot wait. i've never been to austin. more jobs added in the month of february of the i ha. i have some numbers for you. plus, ingredients changed in top sodas to avoid cancer labels. the solar storm, some amazing pictures. extra impressive northern lights. time to play reporter roulette. alison kosik, we begin with you at the american stock exchange talking jobs, talking the numbers that are out today. 220,000, the number of new jobs in february. austin headline. why aren't the markets responding? >> the gains for stocks fizzling out as we speak, because the market -- the data coming out showing the recovery in the u.s.

is getting stronger. retail is getting better, even an improvement in the gdp. the thinking as far as the market goes is you know what, job creation should be a little stronger, too, to match the signs showing this overall improvement. also, if you look deeper into the report, a lot of jobs coming back right now are low-paying jobs, and the problem with that is those workers aren't going to go out and buy big ticket items like a house. that isn't going to help move the economy forward any faster. so although this is clearly a solid jobs report, the way wall street sees it, it's just not a turning point and wall street wants to see more momentum and stronger momentum. brooke? >> we talked about the 220,000 jobs created. what else in terms of positive news came from the report? >> okay, so some of the goodies you can kind of grab from this report is first of all, take a step back. this is the third month in a row that more than 220,000 jobs were added. most of them were in the private sector. it shows companies are getting more confident, taking on more people, make ag comming a commi

just hiring people. also you're seeing people being hired in manufacturing jobs and professional services. i want to give it a twist here. the unemployment rate satis at . it stayed the same. it's not necessarily a bad thing, because the report shows the number of people looking for work is up. that's probably why you didn't see the unemployment rate change. these people are being counted in the labor pool. these are discouraged workers going back out there and handing out their resumes. brooke? let's talk soda. two major manufacturers asking companies to change an ingredient. why the change? >> reporter: we're talking about caramel coloring. that's what makes your soda brown, brooke, and the science of public interest says they want to see the fda ban it because it contains two ingredients that they say are carcinogenic in animals. what's interesting is the soda

industry says, we say this is safe and all our products are safe. in fact, the food and drug administration also says the product is safe, but the center for science and public interest stands by the studies that they're quoting, and they say this stuff should come off the market. >> bottom line, is there something wrong with the chemical? >> reporter: we did ask a toxicologist at vanderbilt university who is not associated with the agency, doesn't get money from them, and he said, look, you would have to drink thousands and thousands of cans of soda in order to see the kinds of effects you saw in animals. in other words, if you look at the levels of soda in caramel coloring that caused problems in animals, you would have to drink thousands of sodas in order to get that same level. >> nobody is doing that, hopefully. >> reporter: gosh, i hope not. >> elizabeth cohen, thank you. let me walk over to my friend, reynolds wolf. we were talking about the solar system, and you said there would be incredible pictures with

northern lights, and voila. >> let's just behold the splendor and beauty. this one from st. cloud, minnesota. a spectacular sight. we talked about the possibility this was going to occur and that scientists followed the source in the sun. yesterday's was actually about a g-3, with g-5 being significant. we expect another round, possibly g-1 or so, that would affect us overnight, possibly into sunday, so we might see more of this beautiful, beautiful interaction. >> how is this created? what is this? >> you basically have a solar flare and this is the effect of that solar flare on the earth's magnetic field. >> is this realtime? >> it's not realtime. i don't think it moves quite as quickly, but you'll have opportunities of seeing much better pictures. you'll see it moving a bit more slowly but in places tonight and possibly through the weekend in spots like minneapolis, perhaps

even billings and even into parts of northern michigan. do you get the idea it's mainly going to be the extreme northern u.s.? even our friends in canada might have a good opportunity to see it. >> have you ever? >> i've never seen it with the e eyeballs, but certainly something you need to check out. if you're further north than we happen to be in atlanta, you have a chance to see it. >> reynolds wolf. we call you ray-ray. thank you. the number of people in anti-government groups, it is exploding. we're digging deeper into why this is happening.

this just in to us at cnn. we're going to show you brand new video and listen to it as well. this is an incident on an american airlines flight. let me set it up for you. a flight attendant started ranting on the intercom about the bankruptcy, talked about terrorist attacks. and imagine hearing this over the intercom, that the plane would crash if it takes off. apparently that's what she was saying. take a listen to the video just uploaded to cnn ireport. [ inaudible ] >> again, this is ireport video, and i'm being told that screaming you hear is apparently the flight attendant. i can't really make out what

she's saying. perhaps i heard, get off the plane. all these onlookers thinking, what is going on? this was flight 182. they were headed to chicago. it was taxiing down the runway, so ultimately the cabin crew took this flight attendant down. the plane turned around, headed back to the gate, and another attendant who tried to calm her down were both taken to the hospital. then the in-flight crew replaced and the flight finally left for chicago. wow. well, a lot has happened in the country since 2008. that's perhaps an understatement. if you think about it, that's the year the economy turned sour, housing collapsed, senator barack obama was elected president and membership in the so-called patriot groups started to swell. i want you to listen to this. this is actually a portion of a 2009 report from one of our correspondents. jim acosta was report ing on a pate roll group.

>> any time a new president could be elected, we get a resurgence out here. >> so you don't like president obama? >> in short, i think he could be dangerous for the nation. >> he seems the militia as a check for government overreach. >> just the fact that we are out here and we are doing this will give somebody pause, will make somebody think twice. >> because you're ready to defend your rights? >> ultimately, yes. >> the southern poverty loss center says memberships in the so-called patriot groups is exploding now faster than ever. i want to bring in heidi byrick. she is with the loss center and has written about this. you heard his peace in 1979. that was then. what's happened since then? >> well, his reporting was dead on, and it's gotten worse, just like some of the people interviewed said. we've seen it rise from 140 anti-government groups before

obama was elected to 1,274 as of this year. it's been an astounding rise in these kind of extremist groups. >> let me go a little more closely, heidi. stand by because i want to run through more numbers, specifically. when you look at this, it totally visualizes it. in 2008, those were those patriot groups at 149. the next year it swelled to 512. 2010, 824. 2011, as you pointed out, more than 1,200. the numbers absolutely exploded. i have a couple questions, one being, where are these people coming from? rural parts of the country, cities, southwest, all of the above? >> reporter: they're pretty much everywhere. when you look at anti-government groups, they're probably a little more rural than urban, than, for example, hate groups, which are white supremacist groups, but they're all over the country. the midwest has seen a lot of them, the southwest has quite a

few of these groups. it's a pretty widespread phenomenon, and oftentimes these are people who were involved in the militia movement back when clinton was president in the 1990s who have returned to the fold after an eight-year hiatus under a bush. but 1,274, that's the highest number of anti-government groups we've ever counted. >> i want to ask why. before i do this, i want to play this from 2009. >> you are new to mithe militia. >> reporter: it's getting more worried. >> how many of you are worried about the constitution right now? >> reporter: worried as in the sense that it's not being followed. >> so the why? why the explosive growth, heidi? >> reporter: well, there's basically two factors that have driven the anti-government groups up. one is the bad economy. that always adds to any kind of extremism you have.

>> how so? >> reporter: i was going to say the bad economy tends to drive people into extremist groups, they're unemployed, they're frustrated, they're angry, so they start joining them up. but more importantly is really the election of barack obama and the swing to the left in the presidency. we had the same thing happen in the 1990s with clinton when the first militia movement occurred. but this time it's a little bit different because obama is an african-american. so there are all these crazy racial theories that you hear about obama, that he's not really a citizen, that he's maybe a secret muslim, and all of this has created an incredible amount of paranoia on the far, far right which is expressed in this kind of anti-government activism. >> so what, if anything, has been done to combat some of this paranoia? >> reporter: well, probably the most important thing that needs to be done is that law enforcement has to watch out for them. the fact of the matter is that anti-government groups have been known to be involved in a lot of domestic terrorism. we've had militia arrests in

michigan this year and alaska, most recently in georgia where a group of militia men were going to spread riots. the fbi has been on top of it and so has the department of homeland security, and that's what needs to happen. >> heidi byrick, southern p poverty law center. thank you. you may not be fak with this manor this story, but i am willing to bet that your child, if he or she is in high school is, this on-line campaign. it has gone viral. that's next.

we have spent some time

today on this conversation that has absolutely erupted surrounding a warlord. this man is named joseph kony. as we pointed out, this particular conversation has not been driven by the government, by human right groups, by movie stars. in case you haven't heard, this conversation is being driven by perhaps your own kids, middle, high school kids. kids who have gotten onto youtube to watch this half hour documentary. here it is again. ♪ >> this is a clip from kony 2012. it was just released on monday. already it has gotten more than 50 million views, 50 million clicks driven by viewers under the age of 25. so all of these kids have suddenly had a sense of activism. it's now awakened. great for them, but this warlord joseph kony has been terrorizing

africa for two decades, and there is someone who has tried to draw attention to joseph kony, and we spoke to her. >> i spoke with young mothers who said, we don't know in the morning if we will wake up. and another group of people said it was common practice in that area of south sudan they would raid, they would take small babies and to terrorize the rest of the community would pound -- they described a mortar and pestle smashing of the baby in a kind of bowl with a mortar. these atrocities are known by some that i've spoken to actual victims is, of course, unforgettable. >> it's horrendous to hear of these accounts. we want to help fill in the picture surrounding this man, joseph kony. we turn to nairobi, our spokesman there, david mckenzie. this film suggests that joseph

kony is in uganda, but we've also heard sudan, republic of congo. where is he? >> reporter: that's a good question and it's the 50 million viewer question at this point. where is joseph kony? he's in the bush of central african republic, which is a remote part of africa, one of the least developed countries in africa. actually, i've traveled with mia farrow through central african republic years ago. there is a sense that, yes, there are some inaccuracies to this video, to this kony 2012 campaign. he's no longer in uganda. in fact, he has left uganda and isn't cause anything trouble there and hasn't caused any trouble since 2006, so there is some confusion by some people who might be looking at this for the first time. the nra was pushed out by the military. they moved across the border into southern sudan, the central

south republic and the democratic republic of conga. the fact is that joseph kony and the nra have wreaked havoc for many years now, and many want to see him brought to justice. >> we're going to have more on this later, including the words of the makers of kony 2012, the video which has gone absolutely viral this week. this man, ben stein, says this week's jobs report has good news, but what news? he'll give you advice if you're one of the 13 million americans still out of work. i gotta get a guitar.

the economy gained 227,000 jobs in the mof february. this is all according to the

department of labor. great news, but is it too early to use the r words: rebounds, reactor. ben, so we read about this. people are saying, oh, it's encouraging, robust, the job market has turned the corner. are we doing something right here? >> the recovery is happening whether we're doing something right. we're not doing anything terribly wrong. we're entering a number of new jobs as there are people entering the labor force, so the number of unemployed is not shrinking or barely shrinking, but it's a lot better than the unemployment rate getting worse. so we are in an extremely shallow recovery. it's a recovery but extremely shallow. >> i like that r word, recovery, albeit shallow. i want to play a bit from the president. he seemed pleased. >> he's hardly going to

criticize himself. >> let's take a listen. >> he's not going to criticize himself. >> you see now, our job now is to keep this economic engine churning. we can't go back to the same policies that got us into this mess. we can't go back to an economy that was weakened by outsourcing and bad debt and phoney financial profits. we have to have an economy that's built to last. >> but here's my question for you, sir. how does it seem to happen that before any kind of presidential election, the unemployment rate just magically seems to drop? >> it isn't magic and it doesn't always happen. it certainly did not happen in 1932. it did not happen in 1976. but it does sometimes happen. the government is churning out money like mad and trying to get people to borrow it and use it to finance expansion. but look, the president was at a plant in virginia today that makes parts for rolls royce jet

engines. there are 140 employed at that. that's great, but there are 142 million in the labor force. so that does not make much of a difference. obviously, we're going in the right direction. but at this rate, we will not have any improvement in the above 8% unemployment rate forever. so we need to have -- even if we had twice as many new jobs created as we had, it would take many years for us to get back to a 4 or 5% unemployment rate. we're not even close to a robust recovery, but we are in a little tiny bit of a recovery which is better than being stuck or not recovering at all, but it's not a strong recovery. >> i know half of them have been out of work for six months or more. here's my question. >> and that number is not dropping. >> which is unfortunate, but if you are an american looking for work, what would ben stein do?

what would ben stein do if you were sitting at home out of work? >> there are lots of jobs out there. they're not the jobs people necessarily want to take, but there are jobs. it's an astonishing thing, brooke, how some of the manual labor jobs, retail clerk jobs. i know where i live during part of the summer out in the desert near palm springs, there are help wanted signs in many, many, many windows. i had a very funny experience. i just hired some men to clean my windows. i had to pay them almost $80 an hour for scraping a squegee with windex. >> why? >> that's what the going rate is out there. that shows you an ingenius person who is willing to charge only $60 an hour could really clean up down there. >> are these he had indicateduc though? you talk to people with degrees and they don't want to do manual labor. >> i don't know if they want to or not, but i figured out on an annual basis, these window cleaners are getting paid more than the professors at the state

university of california. the point is in a recession, people have to take jobs they don't want. that's a large part of life, is doing things you don't want to do. >> you mentioned maybe in a couple years we'll be back to where we are. >> many years. >> many years. do you think we'll get back to pre-recession levels? we recovered like a third of the jobs we lost. so when will we get back there? >> we don't know predictions about the future. >> you can't do that? >> that's impossible to do. but i would say we've never had a recession in which we didn't recover. so we will recover. but look, the eurozone is going into recession, south america seems to be slowing down, china is slowing down. it's going to be tough for us to have a sustained, robust recovery with so many regions of the world slowing down. we may still have one, but it complicates things a great deal.

>> shallow recovery. so precarious, still recovering. >> shallow recovery is the best i can do for you. i wish we could say it's morning in america, but it's not. >> ben stein, reality check time, we appreciate it. good to see you. come back any time. >> good to see you. thank you. meantime, a wife blogs about true love for her husband. police say she was trying to hire a hit man to kill him off. we're on that case, just ahead. ♪ [ male announcer ] offering four distinct driving modes and lexus' dynamic handling, the next generation of lexus will not be contained. the all-new 2013 lexus gs. there's no going back. ♪ a living, breathing intelligence teaching data how to do more for business.

oh, boy. what a case we have for you today out of texas. so a wife and mom, she blogs about renewing her vows with her husband. but while blogging about this marital bliss, houston police say this wife was actually arranging to have her husband killed. joey jackson on the case with us today. joey, let me just take a look here before we chat at brittany martinez in court. here she is. she basically tried to arrange the murder of her husband, a murder for hire.

let's hear the reporter explain the case. >> reporter: according to court documents, she wanted to park a block away from the fire station. it was also clear she wanted that murder to be committed in the employee's back parking lot. martinez gave the informant her husband's photo, work schedule and two upwards payments of $500. >> maybe not marital bliss, a after all. what kind of charges does she face? >> facilitating to engage in a killing of another. in addition to that, if that's not bad enough, you also have the conspiracy charge, and whenever there is a conspiracy, which is basically an agreement, brooke. it's when you agree to commit a criminal act. and you have to agree further than that, what is that? one is the february 4 meeting where she says, i'm having marital problems. do you think you could help to kill my husband? the other is the subsequent

meeting she has on another date. it was, i think, january 17, and then she has another meeting three weeks later where she says, here's $500. i'm serious about it. here's a physical description. the fact that she does engage in those overt acts, it shows she has the intention of getting this done. >> according to the police, the prosecutors are saying this was worked out over the course of multiple months. can we be more specific? what are police saying as far as what was involved, how this whole thing went down, and won't defense attorneys really have to work pretty hard to defend her? >> absolutely they do. what ends up happening is the reason -- the police are going to focus on the fact there was an initial meeting. apparently it was a friend of hers, a manager of some restaurant, and she then goes and says, i'm having issues, can you help me? what issues are those? i need my husband killed. big issue that is, you know, and i'll give you money to do it. apparently she made a commitment to give him 500 initially and promised him another 1 to 2,000 when he got the job done. she goes back to him again, and

then she gives him more money, gives him a description, his work schedule. what's bad enough here, and these are cases hard to defend, brooke, for the following reason. whenever you have wire taps and surveillance, and in this case, do you, you have the indication she made on tape that, you know what, not only do i want him killed, but this is how you're going to do it and this is where i want you to do it. so it's very difficult under those circumstances when you have damning evidence involved of cobb ratirroborate ratio cor. not only do you have the tape, but damning evidence. >> i can't help but think about the husband. has anybody heard from him? >> while we may not have heard from him, we certainly have heard from her. apparently she blogs about it, and what she says at some point in between giving money to have her husband killed, you know, my husband is wonderful. he's a firefighter, he works so hard. in his spare time, he's a technician. we're renewing our vows this

october, i picked out a dress, so apparently he's keeping low key, but she was pretty fond of him. i say that facetiously. i mean, if you're the prosecution you're going to argue that was a ruse, that was sort of to cover your tracks. and if you're the defense, it shows, hey, look, she never had the intent. this shows she was renouncing her involvement in this. it cuts both ways. >> i guess if i was him i would be leery as well. now to this 91-year-old man. he hid this disability from his his inspiring story of overcoming that disability, next. forty years ago, he wasn't looking for financial advice. back then, he had something more important to do.

his father didn't care about school, so henry seldom went to class. >> i didn't learn a thing. i didn't know nothing, absolutely nothing. >> yet his teachers kept promoting him to the next grade. henry eventually dropped out of school. he kept working, got married and used his street smarts to get by. his wife knew he couldn't read a word. friends and family had their suspicions but never asked. it wasn't until his wife became ill that he finally openly admitted he was illiterate. >> i said, i got to do something. i says, i can't go on for all my life this way. >> reporter: with the help of family and friends, henry began to teach himself. >> he went through the entire dictionary from back to front, reading. >> studies show as the human brain ages, it becomes more difficult for someone to learn a new skill, especially at the age of 90. but henry thought time might be running out, so he hired a tutor to help him. and two years later, he succeeded. but henry decided to take it a step further. he had all these stories stuck inside his head with no way to

pass them along. so now armed with the written word, he put them in a book called "in a fisherman's language." it's a reflection of his life. he published it at the age of 96. it's become very popular, especially among people with learning disabilities. >> i always thought he would draw on something of his life. i never realized that this would happen, that this book would be so popular. >> reporter: today henry shakes his head when somebody calls him an author. it's hard for him to process the last few years. but he says it's been a journey like no other. >> i don't know how i survived, but here i am. >> dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. people with a machine.

time now for the help desk where we get answers to your financial questions. joining me is john alwazheimer. lynette, thank you for being here. osborn wrote in, i have a 30-year fixed mortgage way rate of 7.5%. is it worth it to refinance with a lower interest rate? >> you won't know if it's worth it to refinance until you do a break-even analysis. that means you have to think about the cost of the refi. maybe it costs $3,000 to get the deal done. then you have to divide that by the number of months that you're going to still be living in the house and figure out whether or not it's going to make sense for you to do it.

sometimes people do these deals, and frankly, it doesn't make sense. he's saying a seven-year arm. if he plans to live in the house that long, it could make sense because rates right now for people with really high credit scores are 4.8%, and we don't know how much the refi is actually going to cost to get done. >> and your question comes from pam in north dakota. my husband and i were recently called by a debt collector regarding a cell phone bill from a year and a half ago. we contacted the cell phone carrier who sent us back to the debt collection agency again. if it's a legitimate bill, we want to pay it so we maintain our credit, but nobody has been willing to answer our questions. what should we do? >> the fact that the original person won't talk to them, they won't be paying the original merchant, they'll have to deal with the credit agency. the fact that it's with a collection agency, it's already on the credit report, but that's not the end of the world.

do this. offer a settlement. usually about 20% of what they say you owe because they don't have the same skin in the game that the president did because they bought it for pennies off the dollar. get it to a zero balance as quickly as possible, then you avoid any charges added on. >> any time you have a question, just write us at cnnhelpdesk.com.

we have spent some time talking about this film, this documentary that has gone viral on the web. it's called "kony 2012." it's ban african warlord who has raised activism in many school-age kids.

i want to play a little of this documentary and then we'll hear from the filmmakers. >> we have reached a crucial time in history where what we do or don't do right now will affect every generation to come. arresting joseph kony will prove that the world we live in has new rules, that the technology that has brought our planet together is allowing us to respond to the problems of our friends. >> the next step is how do you translate the awareness and how do you translate this amazing movement into tangible change and action? and so the beauty of "kony 2012" is it starts with the movie. the movie is an entry point to a mission, and the mission involves influence in our policymakers, influence in our culture makers so they can take this from the ground,
