and in cleveland, the local industrial sewer, the cuyahoga river, caught fire.nvironmentalists had found a loophole in the gnp. the gnp measures goods and services traded, for example, scrubbers used to clean sulfur emissions. clean air isn't bought or sold, so it's not counted. if sulfur is not cleaned up, the resulting pollution is not subtracted. gnp is not reduced. gnp fails to take into account environmental values. if we produce a lot of goods and services, if we use up machinery, that's deducted depreciation from net national product. but if we dirty the atmosphere, if we cause more houses to have to be painted, that deterioration is not taken into account. if it makes more people sick and they go to more doctors, that increases gnp, because doctors' services are part of gnp. by now i think that most national income statisticians concede that we can never produce a measure of aggregate economic welfare in the sense of well-being. for one thing, it's hard to add together people's satisfactions. and if you're looking primarily at gnp as a production measure

castro had not been on a suicide watch when officials at the cuyahoga jail determined he was not a suicidetorneys requested a complete psychological evaluation of castro and never got it. >> clearly, we had a concern because we wanted to make sure there was going to be an independent evaluation done prior to him going to a prison. >> they believe castro fit the profile of a sociopath. studying him could have provided information that stopped other predators in the future. castro was in protective custody, which meant he was che checked on every 30 minutes. he was not on a suicide watch which would have put him under constant observation. the cleveland mayor says his focus remains on the well-being of the survivors. >> thank you. >>> a full year before students around the nation submit to the new common core standardized tests. the federally backed program is already causing a lot of chaos and confusion. parents filing formal complaints they are not being given a sane their children's education. we will debate this really controversial topic as kids head back to school this september and th

my colleague and i, when his last couple of days while he was in the cuyahoga county jail, we asked if we could get an independent few reforensic evaluation of him prior to his departure to the corrections center in lorraine county and it was refused by the county and then we asked the ohio department of rehabilitations and corrections if we could get to him with our own forensic expert and they refused that as well as down in orient. so i'll be interested to hear what they have to say about how in depth and what the wide scope of the independent evaluation was they may have conducted. >> mr. castro was in protective custody. monitored at least every 30 minutes. do you have any reason to believe this morning that this was anything but a suicide? >> well, if it's anything but a suicide or it is a suicide we're going to get to the bottom of it. there's no way we're going to let this go, especially in light of the fact that it's been 30 days and he's been at orient for only, possibly two weeks. and i know his family visited him a couple of times. so i'm not sure -- i saw the news accounts

a woman in cuyahoga falls, a community near akron explained she graduated from law school, she is a type 1 diabetic. without the health care law she would have been paying out of pocket for extremely costly, lifesaving medication because she couldn't afford it on her own. i can imagine, she said, there are many oweians like me working hard for my future but finding myself in a tough financial spot while still needing care. health care marks a milestone for millions of ohioans including myself. 20 years ago i was running for congress and made a promise in 112 that i would not accept congressional health care. i pay my own health insurance, until similar coverage was available to all americans. did that for well over a decade. i can now say i will be enrolling in the health care marketplace alongside hundreds of thousands of people from ohio. while millions will be able to enroll in benefits beginning in less than two weeks, the health care law has already provided immeasurable benefits. let me share with you how ohioans are already helped. 97,000 young adults are now able to stay on their
