united's computer system has been in transition from its old "apollo" reservation system, which united introduced 40 years ago, to a hewlett-packard-based one called "shares." but the transition has not been smooth. "this transition from apollo to shares has not gone well. there will be hiccups expected, but backups should at least be able to help them get the planes pushing back from the gate. there are some questions to answer here." the outage lasted about two hours thursday morning and affected half of united's flights. popular energy drinks are under investigation. federal officials are checking into reports of 13 deaths during the past 4 years that may be linked to 5-hour energy drinks. the manfacturer calls the claims "overblown" and says the beverages have no more caffiene than a cup or two of coffee. pepsi plans to fight fat with fizz. pepsico plans to release a fat-fighting beverage called "pepsi special." the soda, which will be released in japan only, contains dextrin, which helps to slow fat absorbtion in the body. no word yet on when the product will be released. still to come, shou

patient's coronary arteries is narrowed, a physician may suggest an angioplasty procedure-- introduced in the united states in the early 1980s. after a few years in practice in boston, i went to an abstract session at one of our national meetings. a young swiss was there, andreas gruentzig. he presented an abstract about putting a balloon catheter inside the heart, inside the arteries of the heart and blowing it up, and showed on an experimental study, that it dramatically opened the artery. i was absolutely astounded by this. it was just an enlightening experience because putting anything into the coronary arteries was forbidden prior to that time. so he was breaking the rules. it is now the largest coronary procedure done, and there are about 500 to 600,000 procedures done per year now, which is significantly more than the number of bypass operations that are done in the united states. the physician threads a catheter through an artery in the arm or the groin until it reaches the coronary arteries-- the same procedure as an angiogram. but then, the physician threads a second balloon-tipped cathete

we had only three budgets introduced in the united states senate. i'm one of three senators who introduced one. my budget balances in five years. senator pat toomey from pennsylvania introduced one that balances in eight years. rand paul from kentucky that balances in five years. we have to get one passed. as of right now we have no proposal from the democrats. at least no proposal from the democrats other than the president's budget which received zero votes this year and zero votes last year. jon: well the president wants to raise taxes on the wealthy for instance. is that going to solve the problem, get rid of the bush tax cuts? >> that is not going to solve the problem because we have to remember first of all, there is no such thing as a tax increase that affects only the wealthy. ernst & young predicted we'll lose 700,000 jobs even if we raise taxes only on top two rate brackets. 700,000 jobs. those are not ceo jobs. those are not top one percenters. those are people living paycheck to paycheck. bottom line we can't go back to the american peopl
