we have staff in five states and we are opening a new office in des moines this spring and we have a network of over 2,000 men and women who have recently or served or are still serving in the armed services and are looking for help intersection the field of agriculture. >> you have established a good facility in des moines. that is a good place to have an operation for sure. >> thank you very much for having me here. i'm honored. i'm originally from a small family farm in southeast missouri. i didn't think that i ever really wanted to be involved in agriculture because i thought it meant solely riding a tractor for 12 to 14 hours a day. i didn't realize there was another life. when i went to college i wanted to do something else. once i got to college i realized there is a whole other world that involves agriculture and what i was doing on the farm was a small part of it and i could do more. so i got an ag degree from murray state and that is where i met my husband while i was in an internship. we both had the desire to farm but we never knew we would have the opportunity. the oppor

or you went on a really important business trip to des moines. you had a big year.some questions about it. that's what taxes are, a recap. the story of your year. and we think you're the best person to tell that story. intuit turbotax, it's amazing what you're capable of. >>> we're back on a sunday morning new york with today's athletes to watch. pair of skaters representing team usa in the ice dancing competition. brother/sister duo who may be two of the sweetest people i've ever had the chance to interview to say that they are excited and enthusiastic about their first olympics would be a gross understatement. but it turns out they didn't always share the exact same quest for gold. every olympian starts their journey with a dream. for ice dancer maya shibutani it began at age 4. >> i fell in love with it right away, i think i wanted to go to the olympics pretty much from the beginning. >> her brother, alex, however, had different plans. >> i wanted to play in the nba, that was my little kid dream. >> reporter: despite his hoop dreams, maya managed to get alex out

you know, it came out today in the "des moines register" some of the big iowa people that flown to newersey in 2012 to urge him to run are, at best, hedging their bets about what they might do in 2016 with some saying that what happened with the george washington bridge and his staff at this point is of concern. so some of those folks who may have been in this corner, they're hedging their bets a little bit and we'll see what happens going toward with that. >> all right. thank you very much. it sounds to be the case with everything, we'll see what happens going forward from his presidential aspirations to this investigation. we are following developing news in the second -- a series of powerful winter storms sweeping across the country. this latest storm has the potential to impact about 118 million people in at least 32 states, dumping snow and ice from colorado to new england. kansas city and st. louis are already feeling the brunt of the storm which will move to the chicago area tonight before making its way east. hundreds of flights in and out of chicago's o'hare have been canceled

this is the next one, it snowed this morning in des moines, now snowing north side of st. louis and it will head toward indianapolis and louisville and lexington. just enough to make it difficult for the drive home. now the big storm, this is the nor'easter, that's huge, as big as it gets. this is a much smaller storm and moving quickly. the path is going to dive to the coast and then once it feeds off the warm waters here in the gulf stream, it's going to explode and become its own little nor'easter, but it's going to develop so late in the gulf of maine, it's not going to have blizzard effects or huge impacts from hartford southwards or providence southwards. three to six inches, boston. portland, where ron was, maine, 12 inches, bangor about 12 inches, and east maine could get a foot, two feet of snow. the timing, again, for people's plans on the weekend, washington, d.c., philadelphia, light snow. new york city, right around 2:00 p.m. as it falls during the daylight hours, roads are going to be fine. then we'll watch the snow melt next week. all these locations should

des moines, that is icy stuff. it all heads toward the east coast by overnight tonight.oes this, a core could get up a six inches, a lot of places two to four. it's a quick moving system because of the pattern that has been going through. it will keep systems moving. at least they don't linger, which gives it a chance to dump more snow, but you can see this hitting the east coast as we get tonight into tomorrow and already clearing until tuesday before we get the next run. a few people have been enjoying it. i got out and did cross country skiing yesterday, more people heading out today because of the holiday. >> the pattern has been colder than average for most of the winter season. by the time we get toward the end of the week, we're actually going to see a little warm up finally, some temperatures in the 40's and 50's, even for parts of the midwest, that's going to be at least one nice thing we have to look forward to by the week's end. in the meantime, the western half of the country starts to get cold air. they haven't dealt with as much of it. that's a fair trade-o

shoveling from des moines to indianapolis and ohio included in in and cleveland and columbus.city and pittsburgh and also philadelphia, thomas, we are going to get a quick 2 to 3 inches of snen freezing rain and sleet on top of it. not like the last storm. this one will be crunchy and messy and hopefully we won't get power outages from the freezing rain. >>> coming up next, actress sarah jessica parker. i think the two are comparing shoes. we will talk about sarah jessica parker's role coming up. life's an adventure when you're with her. and it always has been. but your erectile dysfunction - it could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as t

des moines school district 1969.udents are absolutely free to express their opinions unless it interferes with the administration of the school. and, obviously, opinions can vary. here, and i read the opinion, the court said that there were previous instances of violence on cinco de mayo, so the school's actions were reasonable. again, opinions can vary. jenna: fred? >> well, let me tell you, the law is not free from passion, and i'm sorry, i disagree with this decision for a lot of different reasons, not the least of which i think it's a fundamental first amendment right to be able to express your patriotism and wear our flag. and the fact that this court ruled that that was in some way incendiary or insulting, i think, is ridiculous. the bottom line is in constitutional law -- putting emotions aside for a law -- it's a balancing act. and for this school to make a decision that they were going to send kids with an american flag home and not children from a mexican flag is highly intrusive of their first amendment ri
