thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. how to make a nuclear bomb. step one. get blue prints. it's not that hard. they're not all that complex. there are darker corners of the internet. there are even darker corners of the used book trade where you can find pretty detailed instructions for how to build your own atomic weapon. there for example is a truck driver from wisconsin who not only sell-taught himself how to make a nuclear bomb, he actually built it. a full-scale accurate replica of the bomb that was dropped on hiroshima in 1945. he wrote a detailed sort of loose leaf book about how you too could build an accurate replica of a working nuclear weapon. so figure out how to build a nuclear bomb, turns out that's not the hard part. the hard part is step two.

obtaining the nuclear material that makes a nuclear bomb go boom. the hiroshima bomb in 1945, it was basically structurally speaking, a gun. inside the outer casing that looked like a cartoon version of a bomb was basically a gun mechanism used an explosive charge to fire a piece of highly enriched uranium into another piece of highly enriched uranium. that create create add nuclear reaction and a nuclear explosion. the second bomb the u.s. dropped on japan three days later, that was built in a different way. again, used an explosive charge. in this case, it was used for a different material. the nagasaki bomb used an explosive charge to squeeze together a hunk of plutonium. and that is how the nagasaki nuclear reaction was setoff. those two american bombs remain the only two nuclear weapons ever been used as weapons in

wartime anywhere on earth. we have not come up with a lot of new ideas about nuclear weapons since then. it's still basically those two kinds of weapons. pick one. it's either a uranium bomb or a plutonium bomb. the logistics of it are pretty simple. uranium is something that can be mined all over the world. when uranium comes out of the dirt, it contains less than 1% of the isotope that's useful in a nuclear context. in the dirt, it starts off at less than 1%. if you enrich that uranium to four or 5% of that particular isotope, well, four or 5%, that's the level that gets used in nuclear power reactors. but you don't have to stop there. you can keep going. you can keep enriching it by the same means. eventually, you will enrich it up to about 90%.

then you've got something useful for a bomb. it's hard to document and you need a lot of law material. it's hard to enrich uranium all the way to up weapons grade. it's hard to do, but it's not that hard to do. and the nation of iran has been enriching uranium to 20% enrichment for white a while now. in the new deal, the new framework of a deal announced with iran today, iran says they will stop enriching uranium to 20%. they are agreeing that they will not enrich uranium above 3.67% for at least the next 15 years because they have been enriching uranium for a while. they have a big stockpile already. they've got about 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium inside iran right now. they also said they'll give up that stockpile. they're going to give up 97% of the enriched uranium they've already got lying around.

the way you enrich uranium is you use centrifuges. you either use lousy ones like these ones designed in the '70s, or you use good advanced new centrifuges that enrich uranium much faster than the old ones. iran in total has about 19,000 centrifuges right now. in this new deal, they have agreed to go down from 19,000 to 6,000. and they agree that the 6,000 can only be the old crappy ones, not the good ones. so even if you just look at those little pieces of it, you can already see why this is a really big deal. but that's just uranium. there's two paths to the bomb, right? nagasaki style bomb is built with plutonium. that's something you don't just mine from the earth. you have to make plutonium. you can make it in basically two different ways.

in nuclear power plants, after fuel rods are used to make nuclear power, they are called spent fuel rods. when they are spent fuel rods, they are freaking radioactive as all get out. that's part of why it's so anxiety producing to see the spent fuel rod pool totally screwed up at the fukushima power plant. spent fuel rods honestly are a little scary. they're a huge, dangerous nuclear waste problem and there are a ton of them at nuclear reactors all over the world being piled up and piled up with nowhere to put them. those spent fuel rods can also be reprocessed into plutonium. which can make a nuclear bomb. yay. that is another part of the deal with iran today. iran apparently does not now have the technology or know-how

to make plutonium used in a bomb by reprocessing spent fuel from nuclear reactors. they have agreed in the framework deal today that they will not develop that reprocessing ability. they will not develop it or research it. there is one other way to get plutonium. that is with a specific kind of reactor. you don't have to reprocess anything. it just produces plutonium as a byproduct. iran has built one of those reactors. at least in the process at a place called arak. which is confusing because it sounds like iraq but it is arak which is a lebanese liquor and also the location of iran's heavy water reactor. arak. a-r-a-k. today, they agreed to take their arak reactor apart so it won't

make weapons grade plutonium anymore. this is from the fact sheet they put out today. they have agreed to redesign and rebuild a heavy water reactor to it will not produce plutonium. that core will be destroyed or removed from the country. wow. so if iran does all of these things, they can, yes, still look up how to build an atomic weapon basically at the library. but all of us can do that. the idea is that they will not be able to get nuclear material to put in such a bomb. they will not be able to get uranium or plutonium, so therefore, they're basically aiming at what that trucker was able to do but nothing beyond it. this is not a done deal. it is not signed.

it is an agreement to try to work from here toward assigned deal by the end of june. the republican reaction to the announcement of this framework and the president's remarks about it today is exactly what you would expect. six years into the presidency, we know that's how he would react even though if he was announcing he had personally cured cancer. the international reaction is basically elation that this nightmare for so many countries on earth, there has been elation today that that prospect might have been averted not with a war, but with the radical idea of talking it through. now the question is, is it enough, will it stick, and will we be our own worst enemies in trying to make it come true. joining us is the man who i think is better than anybody else in the country explaining nuclear things. >> thank you, rachel.

>> first, let me ask you if i explained any of that wrong. >> that was brilliant. we got to package that. we got to show it at schools around the country. >> oh, come on. go on. correct me. seriously. go on. >> the arak reactor, it actually does make plutonium in the fuel rods and it does have to be reprocessed which is why this agreement is so significant because it bans iran from ever having a reprocessing facility. it assures that the fuels has to be shipped out of the country. in addition to reconfiguring the core, there's all these redundant steps. a few years ago, israel was saying that reactor was the main threat and israel might have to bomb that reactor before they put the first load of fuel in. gone. no arak reactor to worry about.

it has been completely cut off. >> when they say that that should be rebuilt and reconfigured so that it doesn't produce large amounts of weapons grade plutonium, you're saying that you can't necessarily make it stop producing plutonium as long as it exists, they just have to make it produce that less efficiently and take it away once its made. >> exactly. every reactor core produces some plutonium in the fuel rods. they would have been creating enough for two bombs a year. less than one kilogram, not if you have for a nuclear bomb. >> in terms of the objections raised by the israelis, one of the things i know both they and this country have talked about, is one of the facilities being unbombale. an underground facility that has been an enrichment facility. you couldn't enforce anything against it because it was too

protected from even a military strike. >> right. here's another threat we can start to check off assuming this deal is implemented. fordow facility, deep underground. they really wanted the enrichment activities there to stop. that's what this deal does. we're going to leave some of the centrifuges, but they cannot be used for any uranium enrichment. they can be used for other gases for scientific purposes. that facility can never be used for uranium enrichment again. >> so much of these points of agreement, particularly that one, they depend on iran basically being inspectable, right? >> yeah. >> being foreign inspectors, total transparency about what they're doing. that they can't cheat or occlude from international view what they're doing. what would be the consequences if they kicked some inspectors out?

>> the iran nuclear complex is sprawling, but it's not infinite. with enough inspectors and cameras and safeguards, you can inspect this. that's probably the biggest break through. they've agreed to an unprecedented level of inspection. i such a deal has never been negotiated before. we're going to have cameras, seals, inspectors. we're going to track the uranium from the time it comes out of the mines until it's stored in cylinders as a gas. the entire supply. we're going to have export controls. we're going to look at what they're importing and exporting. we're going to be tracking the scientists, the engineers in these plants. if 200 scientists don't show up some day, we're going to go, where are they. gives you the assurance you'll be able to catch iran should it try to sneak out, or break out or creep out of this agreement.

in addition to intelligence assets, we'll be in a much better position to detect covert activities. >> do you think that domestic political pressure either in iran or in the united states is going to be strong enough to potentially derail this before they get to a final agreement at the end of june, or do you feel like this is going to be given enough breathing room to maybe stick? >> well, there's going to be a fierce fight. and you see, the people opposed this deal for political reasons are still going to be opposed it. but this deal is so sweeping. it is so stunning in its detail that it's going to be very hard to resist it. there's already political victory today. mr. kirk who had just a few days ago claimed he had 60 votes to bring a new sanctions bill to the floor of the senate, he's just announced he's going to delay that to july. whereas a week ago, it was

heading for action, now he can't even get a vote on it. i think what's going to be critical to this is when the american military and security establishment weighs in. this is a very convincing agreement. i think you're going to find broad support among national security professionals. >> president of the plow shares fund. thank you for your time tonight. thank you for letting me make you tell me i was wrong and how. i really appreciate it, joe. >> thank you, rachel. all right. we have lots more ahead including some more really interesting news, about senator mark kirk of illinois. all of a sudden he's making a ton of news on huge national issues and it's for one very specific reason nobody's talking about. also more news out of the great state of indiana where republican leaders thought they were going to have a nice, calm week. it instead turned out to be pure, sometimes joyful chaos. details on that ahead. stay with us.

>> our work is not yet done and success is not guaranteed. but we have a historic opportunity to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons in iran and to do so peacefully with the international community firmly behind us. we should seize that chance. thank you, god bless, you god bless the united states of america.

this is some amazing footage. a little before midnight local time in iran when news of the nuclear deal broke in this country. this was the reaction in tehran. people literally dancing in the streets. people getting out of their cars to dance in the streets. from this angle. some unbridled joy. people waved flags. they yelled congratulations for iranian citizens whose economy has been crippled by international sanctions. there was a lot, a lot riding on this deal.

they also seemed very psyched to see a certain president on iranian state-run tv. it was not their own president. look at this guy. he tweeted, selfie with obama. there were a lot of obama selfies. people taking pictures with their tvs. a lot of excitement. maybe that is because as of today their country is a bit less isolated and seeing this particular speech on state tv in iran is a sign that does not happen every day that iranian state-run television airs a speech by the president of the united states. a lot of what happened today does not happen every day. this is a historic deal on a historic day even though it's not done yet. we'll be right back.

a year and a half ago, the al shabaab terrorist group pulled off an attack in kenya that was almost impossible to believe. multiple attackers in broad daylight storage add crowded upscale shopping mall and started shooting and taking hostages. it went on for three nights and four days. one of the hallmarks was that survivors said the terrorists tried to figure out who was a muslim and who wasn't so they could try specifically to kill the non-muslims. they reportedly asked people trivia questions about the koran. and people who couldn't prove they were appropriately muslim, those people were killed first. in all, 67 people were killed.

al shabaab had not always been so discerning about the faith of the innocent people they were massacring. the previous attacks were against people who dared to watch a world cup soccer match. those bombings killed 74 people absolutely indiscriminately. those kinds of tactics were frowned upon by al qaeda, under bin laden and after bin laden was killed, they made a habit of advising other terrorist groups around the world that they should try to kill non-muslims more than muslims. and so there is weird evidence that al shabaab may have made a shift in the tactics to try to kill fewer muslims but more non-muslims to please the top leadership of al qaeda. al shabaab formally joined al qaeda in 2012.

that's when they pledged allegiance. today, al shabaab carried out their deadliest attack yet in kenya, at the only public university in northern kenya. it's been open only about four years. today, just before dawn at about 5:30 a.m. local time, masked gunmen shot their way through the gates of the school and then just started killing people and taking hostages in the university dormitories. all the students had basically been asleep when the shooting started. one eyewitness told reporters that the gunmen at his door opened doors and screamed are you christian or muslim. he said, quote, if you were a christian, you were shot on the spot. it took two hours for security forces to arrive at that campus. finally, it was after dusk, about 15 hours later when officials finally announced that

the operation was over, that they had killed four terrorists and the siege was done. 587 people were safely evacuated from that campus today, but at least 147 people, mostly students were killed. 147 people. a u.s. counter terrorism official tells us that al shabaab had been planning this attack for a long time. president obama just this week announced he is planing to visit kenya this summer for the first time during his presidency. kenya is a close u.s. ally. they're considered an important u.s. partner. but on their own soil with westgate a year and a half ago and now this today at this campus, kenyans are paying a terrible price on their own soil for the persistence of this group al shabaab. as i can slice a pizza. and i can slice it pretty fast. introducing payshare. new at papa john's. share your bill on any mobile or online order.

to indiana, print reporters and camera people all rushed to the state capital to hear what indiana governor mike pence was going to say now. they had been advised he was going to speak, so they got set and ready and waiting. and mike pence never turned up. want to know why? that's next.

oh, i love game night. ooh, it's a house and a car! so far, you're horrible at this, flo. yeah, no talent for drawing, flo. house! car! oh, raise the roof! no one? remember when we used to raise the roof, diane? oh, quiet, richard i'm trying to make sense of flo's terrible drawing. i'll draw the pants off that thing. oh, oh, hats on hamburgers! dancing! drive-in movie theater! home and auto. lamp! squares. stupid, dumb. lines. [ alarm rings ] no! home and auto bundle from progressive. saves you money. yay, game night, so much fun.

congresswoman, combat helicopter pilot, wounded iraq war veteran. tammy duckworth announced she's going to run for the u.s. senate in illinois the seat that used to be held by president obama. it's a big deal for somebody in the house to announce they're running for senate. so if you're a serving member of

congress, you don't announce a senate bid unless you're pretty sure you can win. you really do have to give up your existing job in order to make the run. tammy duckworth has announced she is doing it. just on its own terms, this is going to be a really interesting race. we think of illinois as a blue state. they did elect republican senator mark kirk and a republican governor this past year. but 2016's going to be a presidential election year. it tends to be more favorable to democrats. mark kirk is an incumbent. if anybody has a good chance of doing so, it's probably someone as impressive as tammy duckworth, a democrat running statewide in illinois in 2016. interesting on its own face, right? that's it. here's the really interesting part that just turned into the really important part. because even if tammy duckworth

doesn't beat mark kirk next year, the fact that mark kirk knows he's going to have to run for reelection as a republican against a tough democrat just her declaring that she's running is apparently already paying dividends with really important national implications. because tammy duckworth declared she was running on monday. within two days, republican senator mark kirk now announced two great leaps forward we had never heard anything from him about before. first he announced, as a republican, he is absolutely opposed to the discrimination bill just signed in indiana. mark kirk came out against it. quote, i strongly oppose what governor pence did. we should not put bigotry under the cover of religion. it's un-american. then he announced he will vote

for loretta lynch to be the next attorney general of the united states. that puts the vote count on loretta lynch at 51 senators for the first time. the republicans in the senate are just made never going to allow a vote on her ever. thanks to mark kirk's newfound enthusiasm for her, she would be confirmed by the senate. that is particularly nice for the white house and for lynch because before mark kirk made this announce. the deciding vote was probably going to have to be menendez. in the name of decency, he really has no business voting on who should be the next head of the justice department, even though he said today he'd be happy to cast that vote for her. wouldn't you like to make the head of the justice department owe you one the day that department just dropped a dozen felony charges on your head?

now with republican senator mark kirk pledging to make the deciding vote, it's not only clear she's be confirmed, it's also clear it would have to come be an indicted senator asterisk on it for all eternity. so thanks, tammy duckworth. i think you very well may beat mark kirk in illinois next election day. and i think you are more likely than not to take that senate seat in illinois. but in the meantime, just you announced you were running against mark kirk already paid these huge dividends against mike pence and what he's doing in indiana and for loretta lynch. and as we just heard, also for the prospects of the senate maybe not throwing up the round deal. mark kirk is off that hobby horse too all of a sudden.

today, in arkansas, we have some footage of republican governor asa hutchinson signing a fix to the bill recently past. we have that footage of him signing the fix there. before the national outcry this week, hutchinson had been on track to sign the exact same legislation for arkansas. but after seeing the boycotts and the national condemnation erupt, governor hutchinson changed his mind and said he wanted to arkansas bill recalled or at least changed to alleviate those kinds of concerns. today, he very happily signed that fix. lots of people there, lots of people applauding as he did so. today, mike pence also signed that kind of fix in indiana. there was this weird moment this afternoon when reporters for

some reason were advised that mike pence was going to make a new statement through this week and issue in indiana, reporters showed up, the podium was set up. microphones were tapped. everybody was ready for mike pence. no mike pence. he never showed up. we are told that he did sign the supposed fix in indiana, but he did so in private. on no cameras, no reporters, no statements. not this time, not like the last time. so this has just been a remarkable speak. this backlash against indiana has been profound as have its consequences. as of today, republican-led -- similar legislation that they were all moving. in michigan, the republican legislature there had three of these bills pending. michigan governor rick snyder

today said he would veto any of them that get to his desk. the backlash has been strong nationwide. so strong in inn specifically that beyond this purported fix to save face, indiana's republican-led legislature might now actually move for the first time ever to substantively protect the rights of lgbt people in indiana law. >> the discussion about special class protection for the lgbt community is going to happen. today has started that discussion. it will happen. and i think it's important for people to know that. >> that's the republican leader of the indiana state senate. but wow. what a difference a week makes, right? a week of unbridled national disgust can change things. in the big picture, it's turning out to be kind of the weirdest thing is indiana just whips on this issue and mike pence

completely collapses into incoherence and they pull their bills and change their minds and realize they don't want to do something like what mike pence just did, this remarkable story in the midst of that. every single one of the republican presidential candidates for 2016 who has commented on this issue has said they stand with mike pence. they stand with the unreconstructed mike pence. they stand with the bill that mike pence signed in the first place. so, yeah, like with this tammy duckworth challenge, mark kirk may now be blazing a trail on this, but not a single one of the 2016 candidates is with him. i should be clear that i don't know if rand paul has made any comments on this issue, now. i said all of candidates who have commented spoken in favor of what mike pence did.

has rand paul talked about this at all? >> he hasn't and he's not going to talk about iran either. his spokesperson is telling people that he's, quote, out of pocket, unquote, until april 7th when he's supposed to launch his presidential campaign. it's good timing for him to be out of pocket. but actually, it seems any week is pretty much good timing for republican candidate to be out of pocket. >> i wonder, though, thinking about rand paul on this just because he is in this unusual position under radio silence while there's been so much republican chaos on this issue, i wonder if that will be advantageous to him. they haven't yet settled on what they're going to think of this issue. we have all the republican candidates saying they're in favor of what mike pence did originally. we've seen all of the other republican leaders around the country, including very

well-respected ones climb way down on this issue. they're thinking about an employment nondiscrimination act. is it clear to you how the republicans are going to settle on this? >> i think the republicans generally know -- i think republican presidential candidates outside of rand paul, i think it is pretty clear, that they're going to go as far right as they can on this. you saw jeb bush who -- you know, he's a little bit rusty. he hasn't been a politician for a while. the first time he was asked about it, oh, i'm with mike pence. that's the kind of politician reaction. i'm with the base here. then he gets asked by silicon valley donors not with mike pence. he says, oh, well, i'm not with mike pence. he's clearly rusty. in private, he's the only one that's waived on this. ted cruz leading the way, scott walker, marco rubio, they know that in iowa, it's evangelicals

and ethanol. those are the two things you have to win out there. rick santorum proves you don't need any money, not even a viable path to the white house to win in iowa. if you win in iowa and you have a little bit of money coming out of there, then that's your ticket. and so cruz and walker and the other folks, they're all in with pence with the unreconstructed pence here to say look, republican activists, i'm your guy, i'm going to support religious liberty at this moment. >> fascinating. the dynamics are so different than the national dynamics and discussion. it's very important to see it that way. thanks a lot tonight. appreciate it. >> thank you. it's very easy to look at those guys and say it's going to be an incredible political detriment to them. they don't care the way the rest of the country feels because most of the country doesn't

vote. they're counting on the people who do care about this issue in a right wing way and in favor of what mike pence did in the first place, they're counting on those people voting that the politics of this makes sense to be as right wing as possible even as the rest of the nation recoils. welcome to your low participation democracy. we'll be right back.

kind of a weird night in the news. two big stories still to come. one of them a happy story about a roll of carpet wearing a seat belt. plus, we've got a story out of alabama that will curl your hair. both of those stories ahead. i win again. paul george the all-star. you still got it. play for the check? nope, with papa john's new payshare it already split the check for us. so, we wont be needing this anymore. introducing payshare. new at papa john's. share your bill on any mobile or online order. like our philly cheesesteak pizza,

so the man in this next video was the lieutenant governor of the state of alabama. he was a republican. this was 1999. and what the lieutenant governor appears to be doing in this clip is peeing into a jug in the alabama state senate chamber. the new republican lieutenant governor was caught in a filibuster fight in which democrats were trying to take away some of his powers. he decided he would rather pee in a jug than leave the floor and risk a filibuster. obviously you cannot see a jug. he does seem to be laughing about something out of sight on the floor and he later bragged about what he did. oh, alabama.

politicians in alabama could not agree on anything at this time in 1999 to the point where they ended up peeing in jugs in the state senate. there's one thing they did agree on that year. that same year, that very, very bitterly divided alabama legislature also voted unanimously in both chambers for a bill to help new mothers. it said after a woman gave birth in a hospital, she could stay in the hospital for two days after a typical birth. insurance had to cover that. moms in alabama because of that law have a right to rest after giving birth and to be looked after. that bill was drafted by a man whose wife died after giving birth in alabama. her name was rose church. she had not been given a $5 medical test that might have saved her life and she was sent

home after she had her baby, and she died. her baby daughter survived but she died. and that newly widowed father brought their baby girl to the state capital day after day, and with his infant daughter, he went door to door and asked lawmakers to pass rose's law, named after his wife. so new mothers in alabama would never have to go through that again. and the sight of that little girl and the good sense of what they were asking for was irresistible. lawmakers passed it unanimously five months to the day after rose church passed away. rose's law went on the books in 1999. simple, noncontroversial, unanimous win for the political process and for public health and for alabama families. rose's law worked. it became the new normal in that state, no complaints.

then last year, in 2014, the doctor under whose care rose church died, that doctor decided to start a new career. larry stutts started off as a veterinarian. he then became an obgyn. in 2014 he decided to run for office as an obstetric. his campaign shirts said, he delivered me, and he will deliver in montgomery. he won the race by 70 votes. when he got to the capital, he decided that he would work to get rid of the law that was named after his patient who died. seriously. freshman alabama republican senator larry stutts decided the state should repeal the law that gives women the right to stay in the hospital a couple of days after they have a baby.

senator larry stutts enlisted the help of six other republican lawmakers to repeal rose's law. he said it was an obamacare style law alabama needed to get rid of. all six of the other republicans, all six men, all six were apparently not told by the senator, he was the obgyn in the rose church case. they may not have known, but the alabama press soon figured it out. we spoke yesterday to rose church's husband, dean church, who worked so hard to pass that bill. he told us he got word of the senator's bill from his now grown-up daughter. mr. church said when he heard what the senator was trying to do, "i contacted a couple of reporters and i said just google larry stutts and rose's law.

the resulting headlines in alabama and ultimately nationwide were clarifying. the alabama political reporter was the first to report the story. after they reported it, they ran one of the most brutal opinion pieces i've ever seen about any politician or any subject. "rose's law was passed to protect other women from the fate of one of his patients. yet he used obamacare for a cover of his past deeds. he compared this to obamacare. the president may be the republican punching bag. senator stutts is arrogant and careless, and now we know he is evil. after a few days after miserable headlines for him and his colleagues, he withdrew his bill. to cut hospital care for new

moms, he withdrew his bill just days before it was going to get a hear, in which they would get to explain to everybody just what in the world they were thinking. and so yes, in alabama, you can pee in a jug inside the senate chamber and tell the story on yourself later on as a badge of political courage. but you cannot repeal medical care for new mothers, not when it turns out the death of your own patient spurred the law in the first place. that you cannot do, at least that. no matter who you are, if you have type 2 diabetes, you know it can be a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine ... what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®.

it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in ... and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections urinary tract infections changes in urination, high potassium in the blood or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients.

symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®.

are you ready for a good news story? a happy story? behold, the story is basically a culture note, just a quick one. yesterday was my birthday and folks here at the show got me some attack owl beer from

vagabond brewers in salem, oregon. you may remember that oregon's state capital had an issue with a giant great owl that keeps attacking joggers there. we covered the story. our graphics department suggested a warning sign that got adopted by the city. they literally put it up as a warning sign. you can buy personal sized versions of the sign as a fund-raiser for the city's parks now. as part of our ongoing coverage of salem, oregon having an attack owl and having the most generous attitude about their attack owl, one of the things that's happened in oregon since the owl started attacking joggers is not one, not two, but three different oregon breweries have started brewing attack owl related beers. there is the attack owl ipa from vagabond which i got for my birthday, which is delicious. there's one called hoot attack,

which uses the attack owl sign on its label. they're giving part of the proceeds on that to the parks. and because it's oregon, there's a three one. the al capone, which is what the local paper decided to give the name to the owl. oregon is a state which you can judge the importance of news stories by whether or not they result in the naming oh of a new beer. some places name weird holidays after things that are important to them. in valencia, spain, there's the holiday for throwing tomatoes at each other. but where else in america do they signify important news events by christening new, delicious beers to mark the occasion? because apparently it's not just owls in oregon.

in the largest city in oregon, in portland, the airport has long had this slightly twitch inducing disco carpet, with the teal background and the purple asterisks thing going on. when authorities announced that the airport was going to replace that carpet, oregon got upset about it. that started a phenomena of people taking their own pictures with their feet on the carpet. sometimes it's more than their feet. then the portland airport carpet got itself a media presence, including an active twitter account. when they moved to roll up the carpet and put up new carpet, the port authority had the good sense to save a few thousand yards of it. they licensed it to local businesses. so local businesses could turn the carpet into keepsakes. and so yes, naturally that means
