this iconic building is not only the home of the most advanced climate research it's part of our boulder community. this building is a focal point of our community. this hosts an interactive climate and weather museum. the staff offers tours to the public to show how we can predict when you need an umbrella over the weekend. the facility is also community meeting place. as in a demonstration of what can happen when the federal government partners with local communities, schools, governments and academia. on behalf of my constituents, i offer gratitude to have this facility and everything it stands for be part of our family and our district and acknowledge that through the research they produced we create great global benefits. in this 50th year, i ask my colleagues to continue support for president obama's ambitious levels of funding for the national science foundation. i invite my friends on both sides of the aisle to visit boulder, colorado, and its facility and see what government, academia and private ingenuity can do. my district, even in this economy, continues to have lower unempl

country both through direct communication and working with other partners to send a clear message "of boulder international obligation" and if you do, you will reap the benefits of normal relations. if not, you will face increased isolation and painful consequences. we took this course with the understanding that the very effort of the speaking engagement would strengthen our hand if iran rejected our initiative. over the last year the leaders of iran been stripped of their usual excuses. of the world has seen that is iran, not the u.s., responsible for that impasse. with its secret nuclear facilities, increasing violations of its obligations under the non-proliferation, and unjustified expansion of its enrichment activity, more and more nations are finally expressing deep concern concerniran's intentions. there was a growing international consensus on taking steps to pressure iran's readers to change course. europe is in agreement, russia where just returned from, has moved definitely in this direction, and although there's still work to be done, china has said it supports the dual track app

brown purchased 83 1/2 acres of land in boulder city, nevada and donated this parcel to the state of nevada, encouraging the state to use this land to build a veterans cemetery. on april 6, 1990, mr. brown's dream was realized and the seven nevada nevada memorial cemetery was donated. it has provided a final resting place in dignity, respect and honor. in recognition of his contributions, the governor declared april 6, 1990 as ken brown day. mr. brown has received countless honors paying tribute to his 50 years of service to nevada veterans and their families, including the key to the city of las vegas and supporting veterans in nevada and god and country award from the united states navy armed guard. it is truly an honor for me to stand here today and recognize my friend, and he truly is my friend, mr. ken brown. for all of his work that he has done for the veterans community and for helping to bring a veterans cemetery to southern nevada where all veterans and their spouse is can be buried with dignity, i cannot tell you how many times i have seen mr. brown at our v.a. cemetery in

this model was initially developed for use on boulder dam to compete with the mack model a. p.'s and some of the other trucks that were offered by different manufacturers that was international. it is a shaft dry unit with a plan terry reduction rear axle, duel reduction rear axle. it's not chain drive. if i remember right there, 517 cubic inches. sometime around after world war ii, it was purchased by a construction equipment operator up in the los angeles area. this fellow started amassing different bitz and piece of equipment over the years. this trum truck was one of them. we don't know if the truck was converted by him to the boom truck configuration or it had been con vertd. that's the automatic overload device. before the the way that the boom was arranged, it was set at a hire angle and would pickup about seven tons before the front wheels would lift off the ground. we believe the wench on the intak about a 15-ton garrwood wench probably came off a clay track model mg2 bomber nurse. very likely world war ii surplus. >> what do people say about it when they see it? >> the

i have a two-part question, and is that really in the eye of the holder thelma -- boulder? if so, in order for you to execute your charge in price stability, is it not counterproductive to have any type of designation of of fund that creates the impression there are firms too big to fail. is there not another message as you have argued for that would avoid creation of an explicit fund, and could not the proper standards be used in order to avoid the designation of too big to fail but essentially solve the problem? >> the industry and not the taxpayer would bear the costs. i think it is important to make sure -- if an institution threatens the entire system that has failed, we need to be especially careful. in particular, going back to a question raised earlier, we really have to address too big to fail, and the means the resolution regime has got to be one that makes sure all the providers of capital, including subordinated debt and so on, will be wiped out, but they will not be protected, and that the authorities have the ability to go further oup the obligations o the ext

denver, boulder, between 1 to 2 feet of snow. i'm more surprised there haven't been more storms around indiana and texas today. nonetheless, it's going to make its way around the area, not that we will have any thunderstorms here. but what we will see is chilly air moving in. on friday, we'll have temperatures dropping to the 50s. the weekend, we're hanging ought at 50 or 55 degrees. more cloud cover tomorrow, it's not going to be as pretty. it's still pretty mild. most locations getting again close to 70 degrees. then we're wet for the evening and pretty wet, too, for thursday night. and wet for the friday morning rush. still looking at some of the highest spots of pennsylvania and western maryland on the back end of the system as it moves away sometime late friday where it could turn over to a few flakes of snow in the mountains. again, chilly for the weekend, at least we'll be getting sunshine back. your forecast for the evening, 54 to 60 degrees. temperatures falling throughout the 50s. sun sets the 7:24. i think the winds by

we've already seen heavy snowfall totals out of it as it moved through boulder, colorado. two feet of snow. look at that. 22 inches in wyoming, colorado city. 13 in red river, new mexico. speaking of the other red river, i want to quickly note we saw that story from the fargo area we have a new update on the forecast crest. still the same time of day sunday, but probably closer to 37 feet. that is lower than the initial forecast, and a lot of that has to do with colder temperatures which are moving into the upper midwest slowing down that snow melt. tomorrow's forecast for your rest of the weekend, we'll watch this start to pull out of the plains. push toward the southeast and mid-atlantic states where we'll mostly see wet weather and not snowy weather. >> thanks so much, jacqui. >> let's take a look at our top stories with votes on health care reform in the balance. president obama sets set for a trip to capitol hill. he is scheduled to meet with house democrats on the hill at any moment. the house is expected to vote tomorrow on the senate's version of the reform bill. d

fourth, it would lead to boulder iranian interference in the neighboring countries of iraq and afghanistan, threatening american interests in both those countries. fifth, peace between israel and the arabs would be less likely. sixth and most importantly, it would increase in a measurable way the possibility of nuclear proliferation towards super terrorism. that is to see the possibility of nuclear weapons and materials would find their ways into the hands of extremists. let's face it. diplomacy is failing. no sanctions on iran -- even the robust package the administration talks about, even if we get that robust package through the security council, which i doubt, even that kind of regime is unlikely to persuade the iranians from continuing their nuclear program. president ahmadinejad is on the record as saying iran's nuclear program is a train without brakes, and he has an apocalyptic view of the end of the world and iran's role in it, calling repeatedly for the destruction of israel and often welcoming the idea of a world without america. our options with dealing with iran are rapidly di

one particular volcano is pretty dangerous because it caused floods the size of the amazon, sent boulders houses tumbling down into valleys and roads, and the last major eruption was 1918. floods followed in as little as an hour. how do you handicap it that we're going to see katla explode? >> well, you know, we spend a lot of time trying to understand risk, and there are various places like the santa fe institute in new mexico where we're interested in risk. we also have our own little company, open hazards.com, where we try to evaluate the risks from earth earthquakes worldwide. so we're getting better at this, and this is going to continue. stay tuned because in 3-5 years i think we're going to be much better at being able to handicap these cientsdz of eruptions. megyn: well, i certainly hope we're around for that. >> i'm sure you will be. i wouldn't worry about it. megyn: i'm worried about this katla. >> don't worry about it. we'll be fine. megyn: all right, we'll leave it on that happy note. john, thanks so much. >> you've got it. megyn: well, a whopping new lawsuit raising new quest

around boulder, 19 inches and about that much, reynolds, in the denver metro area.re you -- is the storm over, at least? >> it is still going to bring more snowfall today. hard to believe we're talking spring here and even though it says spring on the calendar, tony, as you know we're not done with that season just yet. >> oh, yeah. >> we still have winter weather to deal with. if you look at the map behind me you'll notice the numbers. take a look at jamestown, colorado, 19 inches and a little bit less, but still above a foot in places like nederland and aspen. very easy to see on the map. we have all kinds of colors to deal with. wherever you see white, well, that indicates snowfall. no big surprise there. we see plenty of that south of denver and anyone making the drive on 25 headed down toward albuquerque, you'll run into issues possibly up to one, maybe two feet of snow in the highest elevations and when you get to the other side, warmer air coming in from the gulf and scattered showers and storms and possibly strong thunderstorms near dallas later on today. >>

wet snow falling yesterday at a rate of up to an inch an hour. 19 inches of snow in boulder, coloradoyesterday. now that storm is going to head to north texas. you know, reynolds, we thought spring had sprung when we saw the cherry blossoms in washington, d.c. what happened? >> i know. saturday afternoon is when it officially began and still old man winter is hanging on. the sangre de cristo mountains in parts of colorado into new mexico, it seems as though the ski season will never end. the reason this is all happening is pretty simple. we have this area of low pressure set up over parts of the southern plains, and we have plenty of moist air coming in from the gulf of mexico and it's wrapping around where you have some very shallow and cool air in parts of the rockies. when it comes in, obvious it's going to fall through the lower levels of the atmosphere and give us that snowfall. but right ahead of that boundary, we can see strong storms develop especially through parts of the dallas/ft. worth metroplex. afternoon hours, could have some strong thunderstorms and could see delays in

i'm a professor at the university of colorado boulder. i have two brief tasks this morning.ochures are available at the front desk but also you can sign up and we put together a wonderful pds thanks to the very hard work of jack and maureen and rosemary. we have a fantastic program. and if you've been there before, this will be a new experience this time. we have two tracks and we have a track that's really designed for repeat attendees so we would love to have you come to the pds in april. my second very distinct pleasure is to introduce today's speaker. christina romer is the class of 1957 professor of economics at the university of california berkeley. and chair of the council of economic advisors. she joined the berkeley faculty in 1988 and was prompted -- promoted to full professor in 1993. she received her ph.d. from mit in 1985. after her nomination as chair and before the obama administration took office, dr. romer was tasked with co-authoring the administration's plan to recover from the 2008 recession. she's a highly accomplished academic. she's researched the caus

brown personally donated the funding to purchase 83.5 acres of land in boulder city in district 3 that serves as a cemetery for nevada's fallen heroes. he worked tirelessly so military veterans would have a dignified final resting place in our home state, close to their loved ones. this effort was formally recognized by the state of nevada when it declared april 6, 1990, ken brown day on. that same day, the southern nevada memorial cemetery was officially dedicated. everyone in southern nevada knows that this project would never have been completed without the hard work and dedication of ken brown. now this was just one of many awards and commendations that our mr. veteran has received, including the proclamation of heroism from clark county, a god and country award from the u.s. navy armed guard, a formal proclamation from the las vegas city council and keys to the city and certificate of recognition and appreciation from the veterans of foreign wars political action committee. his efforts have been recognized both formally and informally by countless organizations and individuals, to

other countries to help solve these critical problems whether it is extreme poverty, poor health, boulderty to climb that, these are the challenges of the future and interconnected world and if we can help countries resolve those problems and put themselves on a path of sustainability and growth we will have more trading partners in the world and we will be more safe and secure and kids that have access to education and young adults that have access to employment are far less likely to be vulnerable to threats of extremist ideologies or other things that could take seven different directions of this is a critical part of our foreign policy. it's critical and vital to the national security interests and even as light from the humanitarian assistance which is an opportunity to show our common humanity and express that in a generous way this is critical to our national security. >> host: does the u.s. get political goodwill or is it -- >> guest: we do. we do. i will tell you i was justin -- i was in haiti i visited a town outside of port-au-prince. that town had a usaid school right near whe

caller: -- host: barbara from boulder city, nevada, democratic line. first-time callers only. caller: i talked to my cardiologists and what he told me was that he only can take a patient that has insurance because the fact is that if he takes a patient without the insurance they cannot afford the care. they can't afford the medicine, they can't afford the treatment. so it is a waste of his time and their time and he has to take care of people that he can actually treat. and we really desperately need to have better -- health-care reform and have coverage for everybody. and just not do with the way we are doing it now. he says it is tragic he cannot take care of people that he needs to take care of because they can't get coverage. host: what kind of coverage you have? caller: i am fortunate because my husband works for the government and i'm his widow and i have government and i also have a medicare. so i am really fortunate. but i have three sons. one has no insurance. one only has it because his wife is still working. he lost his job. and the other one is a self- employed so

everything, he said, it reminds me of the time there were a beaver and a rabbit who were sitting beneath boulder dam and the rabbit looks up at this massive structure dam and says to the beaver, did you build that. the beaver said, no, but it's based on an idea i had once. that was jack kilby. anyway, so at that point, i rewrote the book. we brought out the book "the chip" again in 2001. with sadly reporting the death of bob noyce, one of the two ventres. -- that book is selling pretty well in the second version but still i wouldn't say it achieved its goal which was to remind americans that it was a guy from kansas and a guy from iowa who invented the microchip and changed the world. i'll tell you an interesting story, peter, i was on a talk show talking about that book, a radio show -- this is how you sell books. and a very funny guy, woody page was the host and he was kind of ragging me, you know, and he said ah, come on why would you write a book about the invention of the microchip. nobody knows who invented the microchip. yeah, that's why i wrote this book. nah, nobody heard of these guys.

said whenever i hear that it reminds me of the time there was a before and a rabbit sitting beneath boulder dam and the rabbit looks up at the massive structure and says to the dever did you build that thing and the b versus no but it's based on an idea i had once. and that was jack kilby. any way at that point i rewrote the book. we brought out the book again in 2001 sadly reporting of the death of one of the two inventors and at the end of the last chapter of the book, jack goes to stockholm and gets the nobel prize and still nobody in america knows who he is, so that book it's now selling pretty well in the second version but still i wouldn't say that it achieved its goal which was to remind americans it was a guy from kansas and from iowa who invented the microchip and changed the world. i was on a talk show talking about that book, this is how you sell books, and a very funny guy was the host and he was kind of ragging on me and he says come on why would you write a book about the invention of the microchip? nobody knows who invented the microchip and i said that's why i wrote the book
