the arlington county board passed a resolution asking owner dan snyder so change the name. resolution officially supported a potential move for the team to virginia. it says many americans consider the word "redskins" a racist slur and derogatory. the resolution goes on to say "the name divides us and diminishes our humanity." and the redskins were one of only two nfl teams to vote against a major rule change. starting next year extra points will be 13 yards longer. instead of the bag being snapped from the two-yard line it will be snapped from the 15 so extra points essentially will be about 32 yards, not exactly a chip shot field goal. if a team chooses to go for two, they'll start for two yard line as they have in past years. if you have seen the pandas at the national zoo, they spend a lot of time eating bamboo. after the break, why scientists think that could be a problem. >>> the next time you go to see bao bao at the national zoo, chances are she'll be eating bamboo. pandas can spend up top 14 hours a day eating it. scientists say that's because they can only digest

dan thank you for the question. let's take one from facebook. claude snyder asking, would you support term limits for congress? rick perry: i'm not a big fan of term limits and let me tell you why. i think the key to our democracy is having an engaged constituency out there. and if you have a really great ceo that's running your country, running your company, running your state why would you want to limit them? if you've got somebody that's not doing a good job, you go out there and fire them, and you do it through the ballot box. here's my great concern. if you put term limits into place, here's who you are empowering. i think it's kind of an easy way to go and say let's just term limit them or we'll keep mary and keep bill only in congress for six years, and then they're gone, we'll get a new one. that way they can't foul this up. if we do that, then what we have done is we have put the bureaucrats in charge, and the bureaucrats, i was in government long enough to understand the bureaucrats when they know that there's term limits. they'll go oh, yes, sir, we'll get right to that, and they wink and nod, and t
