derek, let's start with the visitors >> derek: mike, when we talk about keys to the game for the monarchs, they have to have the long shot. and the offensive rebound. the team is undefeated when they have 14-plus offensive rebounds. they need to be aggressive, passing the basketball, for easy baskets >> mike: for the dayton flyers? >> derek: we talked about dayton, the key to the offensive, playing defense, playing against one of the best big man in the country. shadow on the board. that will be key >> mike: looking at facing a guy like gerald lee, an outstanding post player, but it's interesting to me, one of the guys that normally starts for old dominion, one of the shutdown defenders is not in the starting line-up >> derek: he is not but he will be in the game pretty quickly, because this team, this monarch team, they can't do it without him. they need the defensive stops. they are one of the best in account trunk, this monarch team at shutting down the opponent and he is a big guy >> mike: we have to talk to you about bounce back here. you have chris wright with two pounds on a tip gi

neither did derek dukes >> derek: mike, i played this game a long time and i can tell you that's not a travel. that's not bias. i may be a former ud player but that move has been made a thousand times >> mike: coach agrees with you >> derek: that's not a travel. >> mike: into the game for the first time for old dominion is chris cooper. flyers lead 14-12. eeld dominion with the ball. these are teams off to a stellar start here, offensively. de lancey, finney up top. scoops and misses badly. looks ball bounced around. they're going to get the foul on cooper. chris cooper just was trying to get out of the way, poked the ball away and they get him for the foul. that's the fifth team foul. take a look at t wild shot thrown up >> derek: a little circus shot by finney. chris wright comes up with the rebound and get fouled by cooper >> mike: back to live action. mickey perry with the ball, into the teeth of that zone. perry uptop, penetrates. paul williams for three. way off with it. old dominion with the rebound. monarchs will try a three, rim it out, offensive rebound and a foul. >> derek

derek, you look at the first half numbers. they are not very pretty on either side but somehow, dayton managed to eek out a league. >> dayton shooting 50% from the field. the challenge is that they have not taken any shots in the first half but when they had good shots, they were able to knock them down. they have been able to keep their lead largely due to the monarchs' inability to make free throw, only shooting 29%. you look at the battle of the bobs, what we called the battle of the boards. at this point, the mop narcs have 8 offensive rebound, the magic number when they exceed 14 defensive rebound, they are undefeated this season >> mike: so you look at one other number that's glaring it's the 12 in the turnover department for the flyers, seven of those by chris wright i. unfortunately, those turnovers have come as his ability a result of his inability to recognize the zone. chris needs to to better in the second half. controlling the basketball of course chris seems to be antsy to me coming off the ball. >> derek: he is

derek favors at georgia tech with 13 points per game. >> daymeon: and you talked about the acc derekavors and in the sec john wall right now a couple of guys predicted to come out one and two in the nba draft this year. >> matt: halftime here at auburn university where the tigers trail the virginia cavaliers by a bucket at the half. welcome home, man. >> matt: back at the beard-eaves coliseum where virginia leads auburn, 34-32 and sylven landesberg started out at the story. at halftime he is the story. averaging 16.6 points per game. 10th in the acc. he has 17 already. looks to drive to the hoop as landesberg has been almost unstoppable. a great spin move right there and even when they put defense on him he still gets it. 17 points for landesberg on 8-13 from the floor here in the first 20 minutes. as a result, virginia with the two-point lead here at the break. boss: y'know, geico opened its doors back in 1936 and now we're insuring over 18 million drivers. gecko: quite impressive, yeah. boss: come a long way, that's for sure. and so have you since you started working here way back

>> derek twigg. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i have had many letters in recent weeks about the copenhagen climate change conference. on the subject of low-carbon energy sources, can i say to my right honorable friend what steps he is taking to convince people further of the importance of nuclear energy and wind farms in that overall policy? >> we meet in a week when a big set of decisions has to be made at copenhagen. i know that there is all-party support for our desire to get the best possible agreement at copenhagen that could lead to substantial reductions in carbon. we have said as europe and as britain that we will lead the way in making substantial reductions in carbon. i have to tell him that that will happen only if we have a balanced energy policy, and only if we are able to tackle the issue of renewables. yes, we need nuclear power as part of our energy policy -- i am sorry that the opposition say that for them it is only a last resort -- but we also need wind power as part of the renewables that we are going to creat

in the bottom of the eighth inning, a rookie name derek jeter stepped up to the plate. >> in right field going back to the track, to the wall. and what happens here? he contends the fan reaches up and touches it, but richie garcia says no. it's a home run. the contention by tarasco is the ball is descending and the fach fan touches it. he's right! he's right. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> oh, wow. meanwhile, here's the kid, receiving congratulations all around. >> it was one of the wildest finishes in nba history. after kobe bryant had put the lakers up by one, the spurs turned to their big man. >> to duncan. he gets doubled. zach all over him. he get as way the fade away. he makes it with .4 left. unbelievable! >> the lakers were left with just .4 on the clock, and needing a miracle. >> here they go. they get it to gary fisher. he scores! gary fisher scores at the buzzer! it will have to be reviewed. they will review it. >> it was very close. the ball has to be out of his hands. yeah, it's out of his hands. it's out of his hands. >> wow. it's good. >> just an unbleblable game. >> one lu

wade, alan derek wit, the famous professor from harvard who's to the left, says that was a legal decision. and then you have gore v. bush where the republican justices who had the majority basically cooked the decision, said it could never be used as precedent because, frankly, it was an illegal decision. never before had the equal protection clause been used to invalidate an election. so you have this kind of hypocrisy, and i'll give you one more example. antonin and ally ya, not one of my favorites. i'm basically a populist. scalia says that the death penalty is in the constitution. it's not in the constitution. there's no death penalty there. he gets that mr. the fact that at -- from the fact that at the time the constitution was written, the death penalty was being administered by the states. he reads into the constitution. so what am i saying? the constitution is not a monolithic thing. there's ambiguity in that constitution, and both conservatives and liberals have to understand that you do have judges to interpret things otherwise all we'd need are computers. and there's this fight

the year 20009 is coming to an end under derek -- under very difficult circumstances. high levels of unemployment, economic difficulties, budget problems and at the same time i years are coming to an end. will you carry over into your second five years when it comes to economic and social issues through this? i think we should work together, particularly when it comes to targets to set new priorities and goals. so, what consequences do you draw from your first five years and what do you want to do in the coming five years? >> first of all, i think that they voted for a mandate from myself and there is support for action has been taken. these are issues that we have to change and improve. there is much more of a sense of social urgency than before. as i have said very often, most likely, we will face this for some time. we have not only to find new sources of growth, but we have to see what was wrong with the previous model of growth. it created artificial bubbles. it was not sustainable. that is the center of my strategy, the strategy i put forward to this parliament a

at 6'10" and 246 pounds, derek of georgia tech is an imposing figure. he gives the coach a big time post presence in the acc. he's a possible double-double guy and so far, his field goal percentage has been through the roof. keep taking those kinds of shots and they will be dancing in march. >> and here, bill, is a look at those five impact freshmen and how about john wall set the kentucky record with 16 assists in their victory with hartford and now the wildcats at 14-0 take on louisville on saturday afternoon. bill: i'll tell you, matt, he's special. he puts people in the seats. he's a guy that does it all. he's got great presence on the floor. good size, he's a strong player and shoots the ball extremely well. makes other people better. matt: morome halftime fr the l o'connelcenter.

derek strong at three times, and that was that. -- gehrig swung three times, and that was that. the years later, she said i had a drop pitch in when i was throwing it right, you could not touch it. the baseball commissioner did not care. he was a misogynist wh, which ms someone who did not like women. her contract was void. baseball lost out. sometimes telling stories like that tells you a lot about the times. the baseball commissioner wasn't prejudiced against women and people of color. we had to wait to get rid of him before there could be progress. what is the word i just caught you? misogynist. you can look it up to see how it is spelled. i love big words. i tried to use them a lot. host: we are back live with joy hakim, author of several different volumes on u.s. history and currently working on a bunch of books. guest: actually there are two ways to come at writing. you can ride out of expertise -- write out of expertise. the other way is to write to learn. i have been a newspaper reporter for a number of years. i was asked to be a business writer, and i said i do not know

yes, derek. >> in terms of a smaller raise obvious it would work at a national level, but do you think it would be and official to make a first run of calls quickly to your high donor list just to kind of grease the wheels and not as, in the first call and then called him back several weeks later to ask for money? r&d think it's counterproductive to waste that one call and not after any money? >> the answer would be no. the first call should be how are they doing, thank them for the previous support or whatever. but it has to have an ask. very good question. it doesn't mean that there can be a follow-up call a few weeks or months later, whatever and seeing how things are going and asking them, you know, are the things i could be doing different in the campaign, are there ways you want to be involved. but definitely in a follow-up call. yes? >> i have done with many fund-raising phone calls where they've been very pushy, don't take no for an answer, asking for money. i just wondered how far can you push it, like how far can you ask for money? when is the time that you stop and be like,
