barnes is standing on the three-point. looks like he's being ushered away. they'll go with the blocking call. >> he looks in good spirits. when you are working the official making sure they know you are not pleased but at the same time you don't want them on your bad side this early in the contest. >> also on the floor troy daniels. depth was an issue the first time this year. looks like we might have a whistle and foul line. that's something that rod talked about following the 81- 69 loss for the panthers. they are saying that was an issue. they fought back to get the game within a point and could not convert late. sanders quit shot. another whistle and foul. officials want to grab control of the game. >> they are monitoring it closely. good lob inside. georgia state had lost track of sanders. he is a tough guy to loose track of. he snuck in the basketball. good job by hampton to hold his face for a moment. push as sanders went up for the foul. >> that's hampton's second file. as larry sanders lines up. first free throw good. they'll bring back back forbe g

now they have to find a way to do what rob barnes were barnes was backing for. they have to force vcu to work to get their shots off. >> again so in thanks to vcu and the rams video production crew in-house provide or pictures tonight. fall away not there. tad short. georgia state able to convert to the right block. >> he rebounds so well for a guy his size. only 6'1" but he hops. that's offensive against vcu. >> johnson again hard noses play drawing contact. that these kind that can spark your team back back to within single tickets. you get to charge take to see if georgia state goes on a run. >> dukes thriving against the big man on the left block. can't get it to go. fields to rodriquez. looks like it will be georgia state ball against the 6'8". that's where joe dukes has no fear. he'll go against anyone. they return larry sanders. >> trying to get the shot clock there. you go to his body. you cannot do it against sanders because of the wingspan. he won't let you in on his body. dukes did a nice job there. little contact. surprised in the way this game is of

many of his men are rolled up and he finds himself inside of the barn, a cow barn near the drop zone where the missionary was. and come he wakes up that morning to the sound of german war dogs, an entire german platoon has surrounded the barn and he worked his way out of the barnett only to feel the jagged edge of a mauser bayonet in his back and at that point, he says, rod, or surrender and he is being walked back to the german p.o.w. cage and for the second time he escapes and what is remarkable it is, and this is detailed in the mishra report, this german guard walks i am bac, this man who is about 6 feet 2 inches and is he is walking him back, chapel finds in the area that is sort of a dead area where there are other witnesses to what is going on, and he lets the german soldier with his bayonet in his back kind of bump into him and as that happens, he takes the back of this german's nick and does it back flip and then cracks this man's neck and throws the body into a drainage cofer. one of the amazing part of this entire story, which is entirely true is that he finds himself in a

the team that last won here was rick barnes first. that was a team that had buckner.tstanding basketball team. >> mike: he came in and really took on the league. had a very fiery relationship with coach smith over at north carolina. he said i'm going come in and compete with everybody. did a very nice job. >> tim: sort of like jim harbaugh in the pac-10 in football. get out of my way, there's a new sheriff in town. that's what he did. >> mike: all right, that's your one football analogy in the broadcast. >> tim: potter. 47-33. sit nice to be covering a sport that smiles on cinderella. >> mike: and it's played indoors. >> tim: exactly. 9:00 gone in the half. tanner smith in position to collect the charge and did so. >> mike: we talk about it. david potter. a nice 45% from three. caught that in rhythm, squared up. a beautiful shot. >> tim: and one of a baker's dozen for clemson on the night. >> mike: that was evidence of that, a guy that anticipated the drive right and picked up the foul. >> tim: booker, over plumlee. gets the roll. trevor wanted a foul, too. did not ge

took three hours to get a tractor down the road to get us into these barnes to take care of our livestock. we're farmers and that's what we do. >> the farmers are feeding their cattle hay every day, something they don't normally do until march. >>> fruit growers in florida are having a rough time. they're keeping nervous watch over their already hard-hit crops. a hard freeze warning is in effect throughout much of this morning. under those conditions, temperature sensitive veg taif could suffer widespread damage. they've been spraying their crops with protective layers of ice to try to keep the fruit safe. >>> the amazing thing about this brutal winter weather is how widespread it is, how many people it's affecting across the country and around the world. stay with hln this morning for continuing coverage. >>> just three days after it went up, this bill board in times square featuring president obama will be coming down. the weather proof garment company posted that ad and planned to keep it there for two months. it shows the president wearing one of their jackets during his november trip

[laughter] actually c-span if you come in a little closer you will see that this is $9.95 ed barnes and noble. but anyway i thought this isn't like a typical national book awards type of book but maybe this year the judges are going to be a little imaginative and think outside the box. they can't give it to philip roth every year. so then i opened the envelope and saw that in fact they were asking me to host the awards and i was like that's cool because it is an honor. it is a big honor and it is also probably good for my career because on the next edition of whom moved my soap it will save from the national book award hosting writer. [laughter] and no one knows what that means. it's like a national best seller. nobody checks to find out. that means you are a best seller for one week in akron. no one checks. but as i read this letter from the national book foundation it did start to rankle a little bit because i realized when it comes down to but i was being asked to come here to give an award i could have won two other writers deemed more deserving. that is the situation tonight. let's

. >> thank you very much and thank you, barnes & noble, for hosting this event. thank you all for coming. he pulled me by my hair, and he dragged me up 36 metal steps, each one i could feel as my cheek went against them making a mark in my face. i had to spend weeks in the hospital, and i will never look the same again. this story was not the worst i heard, far from the worst, n., while i was researching this book. but when i told a colleague about it, he said, sexism? are you kidding? there's no more sexism in america. that's so passe. and actually that's pretty much the kind of attitude i ran into when i first began to do the study. alive and well, my dentist asks, after hillary almost got the democratic nomination and sarah palin had the number two spot on the republican ticket? how can you say sexism is alive and well? i wonder if he'd say barack obama's presidency has obliterated racial discrimination in america, but before i can ask he says, besides, with so much wrong in this country, why are you worrying about women? he lifts a dental mirror from the tray

we get that story from andrea -- audrey barnes. >> reporter: this is one of the doze zen of calls -- dozen of calls kim will handle today. >> a lot of dead batteries? >> it's crazy today. >> reporter: by 11:00 a.m. more than 4,000 calls for service came in, nearly half for dead batteries. >> with the holiday and two weeks of holidays people left the car sitting, the batteries don't hold up, especially in this cold temperature and the windchill knocks the battery down, too. >> fran's car was sitting since new year's eve. >> this battery is bad. i will replace this battery for you. try it again. >> reporter: spicer says to keep your car on the road, you have to run it regularly. >> best thing if you are out of town more than two or three days, find a neighbor to start the car for you every now and then, let it run for 10, 15 minutes. the battery gets to be three years old, replace it. batteries tend to last three to four years in this climate. >> reporter: here is another tip. leaving the vehicle running to stay warm can back fire on you. >> trying to see where the lock button is. >> r

. >> reporter: barn yet says you need to take the contract home and read it thoroughly before signingk for specifics about the cancellation policies and what happens if you get hurt, move or the gym closes down. heidi didn't think to ask until it was too late though she was able to stop the gym from billing her. it was a workout in and of it itself. >> i think by making a big fuss about it i got my money back. >> reporter: joce sterman, abc2 news. >> joce says if you feel pressured and you sign up before reading the paperwork, don't worry because under maryland law you have three days to cancel when you sign a health club contract so keep it in mind. >>> 6:15. anything to get your blood purching, it's chilly out there, from baltimore to philadelphia 24 degrees. 21 new york. widespread teens back inland. factor in the winds, some of the places are running below zero. steadier snows locked west of the mountains. we got that fresh eight inches of snow at the the ski lift here. checking for conditions at liberty, snow for them. heavier snows in through pennsylvania and ohio. for us, just

this is where my husband comes through, to make it to the barn, to do his work. and, there's just a lot of traffic that comes through here. i was spending $20 to $30 in caning products. and now i'm just using water. the steam takes care of everything. there's no other products that you need to buy. plug it in, and in minutes i have my floor done. i can do my floors a lot quicker. it's not only just cleaned up, it's sanitized. okay, so up until now, the only way that you could sanitize a wood floor, was to use chemicals. but here's the catch, you can't use chemicals on a wood or laminate floor because they'll ruin them. absolutely. that means you either had dirty floors or you destroyed them to get them clean. but, not anymore. right. we want show you something. nicely done. i know. some of my best work ever. you see how dull this laminate floor has become? well that is what chemical cleaners can do to your finish. however, watch now as the haan brings this floor back to life. it's breaking through all that waxy buildup. it's restoring your floor's original luster

the basketball coaches are involved, rick barnes and jim boeheim.judd is participating and trying to raise funds for the earthquake stricken island nation of haiti. >> the basketball players are answering the phone. >> bob: you're getting a masters? >> yes, sir. >> bob: what were your sat? >> better than my college school. i haven't take an standard test in years. >> carter: your love for kentucky basketball is well known. and like a lot of kentucky fans, there is an enthusiasm this year for this basketball season. and in a few years. what is it like now to have the second ranked team be 17-0 again and have all the basketball world interested in kentucky and focussed on kentucky again? >> it's so great to be back. this is how we like to play basketball, be regarded. we enjoy the team and we think we deserve it. and it's a fabulous season for us. i have personally been enjoying it to the max. >> 19-point lead in this game in the first half and down to seven now. are you nervous on the road in auburn? >> it's a characteristic on the team. come out and

i've sheared in this barn for five years. i know it's going to be hot. probably i think -- you know, to answer your question, mental. i've never once doubted not doing it. never once. just keep driving that in there. >> reporter: the shearers kept a steady pace for the entire 24 hours. they had been shearing sheep for years and have a good pattern. >> in reality, none of this works unless legs aren't in the right position, sheep is not in the right position, equipment is not sharp. what you want to do is stretch out their skin by lifting their legs up, shear the belly out, shear through the crotch, through one hip. every stroke you take at that point is setting up the last 2/3 of this sheep. you try and shear them in roughly 46. when you get good and tired, you start counting strokes. then, you realize you're wasting time 5-10 above that. >> reporter: in the end, doug sheared 607 sheep, roughly 25 sheep per hour and he sheared 480 sheep, but 20 per hour. noa though they may not do another marathon sheep shearing, they will probably keep their shearing cr

them go through this intermediate stage where they keep a pretty good farm building or grain bin or barn even after the house has fallen into disrepair or been demolished. there is something difficult about giving up a property that still has some use in it. even though having machinery scattered around the country in different places all by it out here in the middle of nowhere may or may not be a good idea. when you see these, you're driving along through especially the midwest, there is something sad about them and it does indicate something. there are fewer people now involved in agriculture so we need fewer places for people to live in the country. and we need fewer farmsteads. while this can be viewed as a sad thing that we don't have as many people in farming i tend to look at it the other way. we have freed up people from some pretty arduous labor to go on to other careers and other hopes and dreams. and we are now able to do with a handful of people what it took us literally an enormous proportion of our population to do just a couple of generations ago. i'm not sure whether this

she was able to get him back from barnes of his grandmother to take him back immediately to the hospital and save him, and that night when she comes home and falls in the arm of her husband, michael, she says to him michael, i don't want to live anymore in this country. a country which can do what i have seen tonight is a cursed country. let's move out of here. allin lieberman never moved out. she became the mother teresa of islam where 250,000 black people were trying to survive in the heart of this apartheid regime. her story really is a book. her story is one of the most testimony you can never produce under courage, on the generosity of someone. i was so amazed. i had to 60 hours of interviews and then i decide to write what i think today is probably one of the best books i have written. it is called "a rainbow in the night." it is a word which comes from another giant of our humanity, the same level of gondhi, this july and is called nelson mandela. mandela was in prison for 27 years. he was to serve 40 eternity and when he comes out instead to call all the blacks to vengeance again

. >> this all reminds me -- sounds like shutting the barn door after the horse is out.e see it's from nigeria, now we'll start focusing on african countries. when it was shoes, we took off shoes. you're saying the new streamline intelligence agencies do work. you're saying all the extra staff is helpful. what are you describing that could be the fix? >> there's always some amount of kiddie soccer involved where everyone rushes to the ball. here it's perhaps nigeria. we need to focus, and particularly with respect to profiling. profiling should be a combination of intelligence and other factors. now we know the danger of somalia as well as other countries that are now on our target list for where training centers are being conducted. and so we need to check for passports for when individuals have visited these countries and to make reasonable calibrations about secondary screening, questioning individuals. some amount of what the israeli president was right. one of the things we have to do is look at where the agencies failed to execute their missions. look at the ntsc,

it is the segment where tucker barnes and i put our big weather heads together to answer your most pressingestions, weather-related or otherwise. we are happy to be back. today's question comes from patty in middleburg. she writes, it's january. when can we expect the january thaw this year? ps, i'm ready for it. it could have been from julie in silver spring this morning. julie wright. patty, there is no official january thaw. i'm not sure what you speak of. most years, we get a period where we get a break. it is january. we see cold temperatures in january. although, we are seeing unusually cold temperatures. we've had an unusual a snow, not for january but for december. and it likes we'll stay on track -- it looks like we'll stay on track for the cold air. tuckers a climatologist by trade and you've been looking at the long-term friends trends. >> the climate prediction center has put out the 30-day outlook which calls for below normal temperatures right down towards florida. i don't see any trend here over the next two to four weeks that will take us out of this rather cold, rather wint

julia is in charge of the poultry in the barn yard. in julia's version of their years at wish upon wish, ulysses was a fine farmer and she was a fine farmer's wife. to her fell the task of raising the chicken, each of which she provided with absurdly fanciful names, together, fred and buck and julia, her oldest sons, passed handful of grains to seless and the great mogul and though many a farm wife, held that chickens were stupid creatures, julia insisted that her hens and roosters were markedly intelligent, though their breeds came from distant lands, china and india, she felt they could understand the english language. she discerned this, she explained, because they responded to her call to come to heat, and even appeared to pass the word along to other members in the chicken coop. her fruits seemed to reveal an almost comic ignorance, but julia was, after all, a parochial young matron who had never left the country and had no reason to assume that poultry, any more than people were the same in shanghai as in missouri. she was surpri

personally fine with raising taxes on well-to-do people like stephanie, but against breaking up the whole barn yard to get one thing -- >> larry: where's the status -- my late friend henry lewin in las vegas used to say money is not the only thing. health is 3%. penn, what is the value of health? where does it mean that someone can't get a prescription? isn't that a blight on the country? >> i don't think that anybody in this debate -- i haven't heard anybody say that people should be unhealthy and suffer and miserable. the question is, how do we help people? there are more than one answer to that, and i think that you should always consider more freedom. i think that maybe letting insurance companies sell across state lines, letting there be actual insurance with deductibles decidable, letting individuals have the same kind of tax breaks on insurance policies that they would have in they had it through their insurers trying to do other sorts of things. i don't think anyone is saying people should just get sick and die. >> that's a cruel position. >> the republicans are not saying that. the re

the day with the really big, not barnes & noble times, and he walked around the bookstore with a salesperson and said one of those, one of those, one of those. ship them to me that they were not for books, they were like 45 books. and when i walked into his office, it was just bolting with books. against all the walls. piled up on the desk, everywhere. and i said to herman once, how do you find time to read these books? anti-sort of smiled, and he said, i absorb them osmosis. [laughter] >> and i think he really did believe he could do that. when you walk into herman's office, he had a big desk piled high with books, and a reclining chair. and he was very round. big and round. and then he would lean back in a reclining chair, and all of a sudden his head disappeared like the moon disappeared. and there was his body. that's how the conversation took place. [laughter] >> i was at hudson 1964 to 68, enabled me to write my dissertation, although it was not a hudson institute product in any way. but most of herman's original work on nuclear war had escalation was completed by that time. there were

alex, we normally don't rise to the occasion, so to speak, until the barn has been set on fire. >> yeah. clint van zandt, clark kent urban, thank you for the discussion. appreciate that. >>> still ahead, the search for baby gabriel, the 8-month-old gone for week and his mother now under arrest. police are naming two other people persons of interest. >>> the wild winter. why has it been so cold and snowy and how did the farmer's almanac get it so right? >>> racing to the rescue of a horse in distress. >>> and the photo finish on msnbc saturday. ou to stay well this new year. ♪ with the centers for disease control and prevention saying... that vaccination is still your best protection, walgreens and take care clinics... now offer h1n1 flu vaccinations... every day at our more than 7000 locations nationwide... for just $18.00. so stop in today. walgreens. there's a way to stay well. where's my car?!!!! where are you?! arghhh...

barnes & noble booksellers and rockville maryland postal hour-long event. >> we are here with that onelack, and most people know you for some of the best-selling books that mitchell is just referred to. war against the week, internal combustion banking on bad debt. all of these were written in the 21st century. you have i understand somewhere arounds 69 different editions published in about 40 languages in 61 countries. the question that we are focusing on today was actually your first book callhe transfer agreement, the dramatic story of the pact between the third reich and jewish palestine. this book was published in 1984 sodas than 25 years ago and at the time it came out i remember there was a tremendous amount of media attention and also it was a very controversial book. it was one that there was a tremendous amount of discussion and so that is what brings us here today. let's go first to that issue. what was said about the publication of this book and the thesis that you were putting forth, what was it that garnered so much attention and so much controversy? >> the story is the t

you can ask local bookstores like barnes & noble to sponsor events where women can talk about their work you can ask the local hospital to duke women's health day or your community centers. you can look at your children's school and see if women are really, really integrated into the curriculum. in women's history, if they are reading books about women, if they are reading books by women. if they hear about the contributions of women scientists, and not just marie curie. you can talk to your children. tell your daughters, especially, not to see one another, other women, as adversaries, which is very much a media creation. but understand that the issues that unite women are far, far greater than the issues that divide them. we can use our powers as consumers. don't buy our children or our grandchildren dolls, for example. the only toy that was singled out by the american psychiatric association as harmful to girls development. don't let them buy t-shirts that say hooters in training, or lay ground pimp. use our power. let's not go to movies that demean women over exalt violence against th

barnes & noble booksellen orange, california, is the host of this event. it's about 50 minutes. >> let's start and read some of the -- just three of the short quotations from the beginning of the book. grover cleveland, one of my favorite presidents, office-holders are the agents of the people not their masters. and that's kind of the resounding theme and yet somehow it's got turned around where the public servants have become the public's masters. and this is from voltaire. the art of government is to make two-thirds of the nation pay all they possibly pay for the benefit of the other third. that's a reality of what's happened. and finally, thomas jefferson, when the people fear their government, there is tyranny. when the government fears the people, there is liberty. and that's another theme in the book. it's not just about the pension liabilities and the financial costs and the financial burdens. it's about a class of people who have come to control us in many ways. and i find increasingly that we're fearing the government officials and a in a free soc

barnes & noble is the host of this event, it's about 50 minutes. .. >> when the government fears the people, there is liberty. and that's another thing in the book. it's not just about -- pension liabilities in the financial cost in the financial burdens, it's about a class of people who have come to control us in many ways. and i find increasingly that we are fearing the government officials, and in a free society it should be the other way around. i'm in sacramento now. i'm starting in investigative journalism program and news burrell for the pacific research institute, think tank, based in san francisco. were going to be starting a watchdog program with the beginning of the california legislature, the new session in early january. the whole idea is to keep an eye on government and to give and not on the unions that control sacramento. and i've been at the orange county register for 11 years, and i still write a column for them and i've covered government down here in orange county. but now that i'm up in sacramento, the capital city, i don't know, i thought i would head up this, i

one of the editors of the compass was joseph barnes, who as it happens had been the ghostwriter of wendellwilkie's book and had worked for the oss during the war. and made a mistake when the allies entered italy to write broadcasting, we are bringing democracy. and he told me himself and he was severely criticized by his bosses for talking about a democracy in italy. when the government was trying to maintain a monarchy. so you had the battles that were being written about in "pm" at the time, being led out, and of course, an attempt to continue them after the war. but in the time of the mccarthy period, i don't know if you want to see me, it was just impossible. >> what was the end of policy response to the truman doctrine? >> hated it. they saw the truman doctrine. i think correctly. as the declaration of the cold war, and they were also horrified in particular by what it meant to greece, where anti-fascism partisans relied with the communists were now being chased out on behalf of elaborations with hitler and greece. and the truman doctrine in fact was probably the final break. there we

fields and build their farms, they also had to help their neighbor plant their fields and build their barnes they built the church and then the school house. that's how communities were built in this country. >> reporter: neighbors working together, like the harmons of rural west virginia. >> everyone really should do their part to try to make the world better. >> reporter: tom harman is a doctor. patsy, a nurse/midwest. they practice in west virginia near where they grew up amid hard scrabble poverty. at their clink they treat the poor who can't pay a penny just as well as patients who can. >> it just seems like the right thing to do. >> i think, you know, having been poor ourselves by choice because we lived in a rural area and on a commune that we have more sympathy than some people do for the poor. i think we've always wanted to be of service to people. >> reporter: then tom spun a love for pottery in a way to raise money for their medical missions to central america. they saw a need beyond what governments were doing. >> not enough. in our opinion. >> we enjoy it. it's a very gratifying

they were living in barnes, a temp in the mud -- tents in the mud. there were no preparations for this and they were flying in the worst fog in history was the winter and the fall in europe is the visibility was zero. when they got the thing or a device which took six to eight weeks they all were flying instrument flying so they flew to italy by instruments and the planes were in such a state that the word among the pilots was if one instrument works it goes. >> with the instrument did. the german view of this because not only were american mechanics and meteorologist and control tower personnel called up but the airlift had to rely on german mechanics and radiologists and so on. >> that was one of the nixon kept the secret from the american people but we did not have enough mechanics. these plans are being used, five, six, seven times their rated capacity sizings for breaking down much quicker and was much more dangerous. there were an awful lot of crashes particularly on landings and general william tauter who commanded the airlift was another work

so what they're going to do probably is go to the authorities say these clowns came around in this barn say you've got any highly enriched uranium and i played along for a while and you can pick them up at any time. you'll get basically that kind of difficulty. the other area is actually manufacturing it in which you have to have a really good set of technicians, not somebody -- you can't go out on the street, you know, with these guys hanging around waiting for jobs and say anybody here know how to make an atomic bomb? you have to get the top physicists from pakistan u or something who's got a wife, who's got a reputation and is being watched assiduously by pakistani intelligence. then they have to be there for a year or more making this bomb in this -- say the slum of istanbul or someplace to set up the machine shop to make the bomb and no one must notice. local people say, oh, yeah we always have ph.d.s in physics in the slum. it's a very common thing. and also local criminals must not say something weird is going on weird there. and, of course, the police have been alerted by the th

[laughter] >> but i was thinking about barnes and noble alone. and it's just too -- i don't know. you know? i would have to just weighly think. it maybe this or that. it's so difficult. i think i should maybe read another piece. because it's a brutal choice. i think either i have to start and reading? else, or we have to continue this conversation which in it's own way is rather disjointed. whereas the "essay" i organizized it to -- i think i'm going to read. [laughter] [applause] >> i mean. personally, i would hang out for longer but it's just not the way it's been organizized. so i will read. although this actually is much less -- this is actually the last one sort of went from the beginning to the end. this one is -- it's a particular moment in the past. which you could say how boring to the past? and some people would say, you know, let's leave the past behind and move forward. but i don't share that feeling. i think we must occasionally dwell on the past. and so this is -- as i say -- this one you could really say this is not an essay. it's actually, it's from 2004. and i'm c

so i took on the barnicles, and i did revise the entire class any indication of barn cems. i did make some very interesting discoveries with the barnicles. you know, for one thing, the sexual habits of barnicles is quite interesting and they have all kinds of different sexes. not simply males and females. they have hermaphrodytes and there's one species in which the male has a penis nine times the size of his body and he's a little tiny thing that attaches to a gigantic female and rides there, except when this gigantic penis is called in to play, and if you want to give a nice factoid at your next cocktail party or cider or church gathering, just mention that the animal you found that has the largest penis in proportion to body size is the barnicle and one of charles darwin lesser known contributions to science. so involved was darwin with the barnicles, that one day, his little wallison went to visit a neighbor, and looked around the house, and said, but, where does your father work on his barnicles? they thought all fathers did that. my grandfather, oh, i'm switching back

book of essays in which he covered 9/11, the iraq war, and the american economic and political syste barnes and noble book sellers in new york city host this hour-long event. [applause] >> so i've brought a clock. and for people who are in charge of the event. it's 7:39, and by 8:39, aisle -- i'm going to move from here to over there. as planned. [laughter] >> so we don't need to worry about it. that's going to happen. so can you -- you can hear me; right? this is quite. >> yup. >> but can you see me? because -- i feel obscured by these microphones.
