chattanooga.ooga's so-called gig isn't fancy, but this is about the politics of big cable. chattanooga was like most u.s. cities until the municipal power company came to the rescue. comcast, and the state cable association sued not once, but twice to prevent epb from digging the gig to chattanooga. >> i haven't realize what i was going to be up against. >> tennessee state senator is a key player in the legislative battle to bring the gig to the rest of tennessee. >> can you talk about the lob being presence of these big companies in tennessee. >> the hill was swarming with new lobbyists representing at&t comcast, and charter. my name was not used in nice context by a lot of people at that point. we need this in tennessee and across america. >> chattanoogas plan went up in 2010. >> the latest upgrades were not coming to chat gu that. >> david wade is the operating officer of epb. they also brought ultrahigh-speed internet to the citizens. they raised bond money and federal stimulus funds to build

why chattanooga? >> most cities haven't really made the investment and haven't spent the resources in order to do it. i mean... this isn't fancy anyone could do what epb has done, but they've done it. >> tom hoover heads up information technology for the university of tennesee chattanooga. technologically speaking he's right, chattanooga's so-called "gig" isn't fancy. but this isn't about science this is about the politics of big cable. chattanooga was like most u.s. cities until the municipal power company, called "epb", came to the rescue. comcast, america's largest cable company and the state cable association sued -- not once but twice -- to prevent epb from bringing the gig to chattanooga. >> why are you so fired up about this? >> i didn't realize what i was gonna be up against (laughs). >> tennesse state senator janice bowling is a key player in the legislative battle to bring the gig to the rest of tennessee which has pitted her against what she calls the legacy providers. >> can you talk about

the entire country and they do have an original one, which i did go and see down in chickamauga, chattanooga battlefield. i took over 100 pictures so i could get the finer details of the chains on the hooks, so this forge is a very, very accurate. now, i do not want to ruin my pigtail, so i have to cool it off in water to harden it. ok? you can see this as black and this is still orange. this will be very easy now to bend. i put it over the more -- horn of the anvil. straighten it out. and there is my curve. now cut this off here and i will make the top bend, called the teardrop. ok. >> ready to heat it up again boss? john baronich: yep, heat it back up. i use a tool called a cut off hardy, which is a chisel with a square shank on it. just put that on the back of the anvil. i will take the metal and i will be hitting this and then i will break it off. a little more. now the hooks that i am making called the tear drop hook was a hook that soldiers would have blacksmiths make. i don't want to cut that all the way through, because i will ruin the sharp edge. so, i cut it about halfway. then all

he was -- he grew up in the rural south, in south georgia, the only jew he knew was his uncle in chattanooga, an insurance salesman who could chin himself with one arm. that was very impressive to carter. [laughter] and loved auto racing and that was the only jew that he knew. and the first time he met an arab was at the daytona 500 when he was governor. >> that's his experience. >> so he did go to israel while he was governor. and golda maye lent him a station wagon and went to the west bank visited settlements and he did acquaint himself with the situation there. it was in the holy land, as he thinks of it, he conceived the idea that god placed him in office to bring peace to the holy land. that presumption, to start with. walter mondale, who was vice president, told me on the first day of office, carter said we're going to try and bring peace. and the universal advice from his advisors was let'sai our second >> thelassicd goal. >> let's not try that right now. so to start with -- ittarted with carter, he had the determination and persistence and maybe the delusion he could do this. and he

currently work as a consultant for a grienbrier companies which manufacturing tank cars, joins us from chattanooga, tens. jim thanktennessee. thank you for joining us. i'm wondering what would have happened if that car had pierced the oil tanker? >> there would have been an explosion, the underinvestment in our nation's transportation infrastructure that covers all modes of transportation and as a result, we are seeing the needless loss in of lives in many transportation modes. >> we could talk for hours on general transportation infrastructure. but we're producing more oil in america than we've ever produced, the world demand for oil continues to increase. given that we're going to keep on moving oil by rail, who is fighting the idea that we should do this in a better and nor safer moresafer way? >> well, the industry is make profit off the move by rail. of oil by rail. it's a booming business for them. and they are going to slow-walk, trying to add any investment in terms of the infrastructure, until they're required to, by the federal government. so that's why it's important that these regulati

chattanooga, tennessee, and north georgia, i lived here for most of my life, and the judicial system and the law enforcement is ran for profit. it does not matter black or white around here, i can guarantee you. if they can make a dollar off of you or if you offend one of these people, they will be you, they will shoot you, they will do anything -- and i tell you what, they never get accountability. these body cameras -- you can forget about them. they are going to use them to advertise of the attacking them. you will never see them being prosecuted because of anybody camera footage. i was also accosted at the deal. i said look, i work on mr. hammond's campaign, you cannot do this to me. i know who to go talk to. let me tell you something. we subpoenaed the video footages of the attacks on me at the jail and i was actually standing there so passive that i told them, i said, you guys act like this all the time? you are just acting like buffoons. there is nobody after you, there is nobody threatening you. but they still threatens me over and over again. host: lebron, thanks for your st

the same question before his death in 1885, incidentally, he spoke here in knoxville, he spoke in chattanooga, nashville memphis. he toured this state during reconstruction three times. and douglas said the past is not dead. the evil that men do while they live continues long after they are dead he said. we would rather forget the bad part of history and only remember the parts that we can glorify and celebrate. it's a complex one that has been missing and that one word is how did race play into historical events. >> it was revolutionary in a sense. particularly that you've got an example, unique in the world, where there's a slave population that is freed and within just a couple of years, they are voting, many of them are holding office. this was extraordinary revolutionary experiment really in america. and greg downs has written quite a bit about the role of the military in reconstruction and one of the things he points out is that reasonableness or unreasonableness sender was not the end -- surrender was not the end of the war but the turning point in the war. there was considerable geuri

first time we've seen this sort of shot from a warrior, he buried that 75 footer in a win over ut chattanoogall see him do this. 42 feet from the hallway, he makes it more than you think with an assist from usher curtis jones. >> passing the ball and i thought it was a normal ritual. every game after he warms on. he's always in or around the basket. it's like a ritual. i don't know if it's superstition. having done, entertaining the crowd. and just giving people what they want. a little fun. >> how do you feel about being part of this ritual with a guy who could be bound for the hall of fame? >> priceless. >> you think his job has become more fun with curry around? who will be their opponent the clippers? we'll find out tomorrow. >>> division rival or the runner up to james harden and his crew. in eight regular season meetings the dubs were victorious against the rockets. they won three out of four against the clips. if you ask the players, they say they don't care. they're continuing to execute just as they did in three straight wins against memphis. >> if we play our brand of basketball, it

coming in at number 5, chattanooga, tennessee, then philadelphia pennsylvania then oklahoma city oklahomamphis, and the number one sneezeiest wheezeiest city in the united states is richmond virginia. but there is sneezing and wheezing going on in more places than just those five cities. take a look at this map. what you see in green means there's high levels of ragweed pollen the red is high levels of ozone, and there are medicines you can take and tips we can give you. you can put your air conditioner on recirculate. that can help keep the air clean. also keep your windows closed. change clothes after being outdoors. also wash your hair. your hair can become a collector of pollen, and do strenuous tifts in the morning when the ozone layers tend to be lower. there is a pretty good chance you live in one of these sneezy wheezy areas. >>> all right, welcome back. the crash of the amtrak train in philadelphia has brought train safety into the international conversation. as investigators figure out what happened in philadelphia there is another potential danger on the rails that could impact

so last year when i was at chattanooga i got the opportunity to interpret to the schoolkids, and it was really amazing. what i like about children is that they are pretty much blank slates and i can help them find a love of history that a lot of us now -- well, these are history lovers in the room, so y'all don't have this problem but for the -- more of the public who think history is boring and just meh. i can bring that love of history to children and get them engaged. and it was because of that engagement last year that i'm here this year. so instead of talking about just what an everyday life of an enslaved woman would be i want to talk to you a little bit about what might have been going through her mind now that she's facing freedom. so this first part we'll talk about if i were an enslaved woman, minding my business, doing my thing and i hear these rumblings of my cohorts talking about our plantation has been abandoned, now's the timar us to go. i hear these things as i'm going about my daily duties and i start thinking to myself, well yeah. i probably could leave find complete f

however, the chattanooga times free press reported that the congressman previously supported his ex-wife's decision to have two abortions. desjarlais, a former physician, had carried on multiple relationships with patients, co-workers and a drug company representatives leading to the couple's divorce. according to the divorce paper desjarlais also encouraged one of his paramours -- a patient 24 years his junior -- to get an abortion. >> i won't even go into the hypocrisy of summoning of the folks that are passing these bills. what i do -- i hate for folks to leave with the impression that no one is doing anything. planned parenthood action fund and our 89 supporters across the country are fighting back all step i think this so important that we are having record embers of young people involved in activism. just cut the ribbon on a brand-new health center in nashville, north carolina where we will be up to provide abortion services for the first time. queens, new york, yesterday. we just poured concrete, as we say in the south, in new orleans, louisiana and will be opening up a center there

the 2-year-old pit bull mix is caught on camera chomping away on the bumper of a chattanooga, tennesseelice car. >> all right, fellows. this dog has almost got his whole bumper ripped off. >> on march 14th, 2010, the naughty winston unlocks the gate from his home and ends up here where he discovers a new doggie treat. the police tried prying loose the 80-pound dog by moving the patrol car back and forth but winston just won't let go. >> do you want me to take action or just sit here and wait? >> hang on for a minute. do you have the video on recording this? >> that's correct. >> so what is it about this bumper that winston so thoroughly enjoys? is it the smell, the taste? it's neither according to the dog whisperer cesar millan. >> if he was smelling an animal he would be peeing on it or rubbing himself against it, not chewing. this is the smell of plastic that triggers fun to him. this dog was encouraged to bite plastic or a tire. they're not born wanting to bite a tire. they just get encouraged. the dog learned to release his frustration on that object. >> from the sidelines other dog

coming in at five chattanooga, ten, then philadelphia pennsylvania oklahoma city oklahoma, then memphisziest, wheeziest city in the united states is richmond virginia but there's sneezing and weedsing going on at more places than just those five cities. take a look at this map. so what you see in green means that there are high levels of rag weed pollen. what you see in red means high levels of ozone. and brown means relatively high levels of rag weed and ozone there are medicines to take when you are wheezing and sneezing and tips to give you, you can put the air on recirculate, keep the air cheap, keep your windows clothes, change clothes after being outdoors, wash your hair, your hair can become a collector of pollen and do strenuous outdoor activities in morning when ozone levels are lower. the national resource defense council says there is's a good chance you live in one of the sneeziest, wheeziest areas. one in three americans live in areas with high pollen count and high ozone. >>> amtrak says it is trying to recent busy northeast corridor in time for the beginning of the busy w

i also wrote another piece in december about the case at the university of tennessee at chattanooga and have the hearing transcript for that disciplinary hearing and they are just very different and one of the things that's happening is as these things are coming out, we're seeing the universities there is no sort of set way they are actually handling these cases, even in the winston case the fact they brought in the former supreme court justice, supreme court justice to handle the hearing was a brand new thing. as far as i know that was the first time they had done it which was part of the confusion happening during the hearing, you know he was unfamiliar with sort of what was going on because it was a brand new thing for him, so we're just seeing sort of an ad hoc response in the last few years as universities scramble to meet these title ix obligations and, you know, one of the things we have to be really clear about is that both the criminal justice system as it is and these university hearing systems, they are unfair to everybody, because they are just -- they are often handled sor

same question before his death in 1895, and incidentally, he spoke here in knoxville, he spoken chattanooga, he came to speak in nashville, he spoke in memphis he toured this state during reconstruction three times. and douglass said the past is not dead and it cannot die as people would wish the past would die, and we won't talk about it. he said, the past is not dead and the past cannot die, there are no bygones, said douglass. the evil that men do continues long after they are dead. we would rather forget the bad part of history and only remember the heart -- the part that we can glorify and celebrate, so i think we need to keep in mind that one big word, and it is probably going to end up in two volumes covering slavery and the civil war and reconstruction in tennessee because it is a complex one missing one word, and that word is how did race play in these historical events? dr. groce: it was revolutionary in the sense, particularly that you've got an example where there is a slave population that is freed and within just a couple of years they are voting, many of them are holding offi

> as the trooper's emergency flashers stabbed at the darkness, a phone was ringing at a home in chattanoogae. >> it's just like your whole world just caves in on you. it's like a black hole. >> justine's dad, steven schwartz, and her mom heidi, were getting one of those awful calls in the middle of the night. a voice telling them their daughter was lying dead on a back country road in virginia. >> it's completely devastating. the worst thing that you can imagine. it's the kind of thing parents dread. >> i remember him putting the phone down and saying, it's justine, she's dead. and just, you know, there's -- there's no way to describe that feeling. >> steve and heidi called their daughter lauren in philadelphia. she was younger than justine by two years. sisters who'd always been inseparable. >> i remember just saying, no, no, no, no, no, over and over. i've turned into a puddle on the floor. you can't stand. you get these pangs in your gut and you can't breathe. >> in the predawn hours, the family made a plan to meet at the airport in charlottesville. >> the fact that she's dead seems impo
