you want a litigant in the ninth circuit, you don't have to travel from honolulu or billings or fairbanks or phoenix to see the arguments in your case. see the judges. what you can do is so long as you have a computer, you ckacan watch oral arguments anywhere in the world and in realtime and you can see the hearings archived on our website. we're the only circuit that does that and we do it because we have a commitment to the concept of open access. we also have a commitment to the idea we are there to serve the people and our function is to make it easier and cheaper for the parties and the lawyers to take advantage of our resource

we have got 26 different checkpoints between fairbanks and nome. as a musher reaches a checkpoint, there is an appreciative audience of the villagers that come out to cheer them on. again, the villagers can't offer help with taking care of the teams. the mushers have to do it all themselves. but a lot of time to think, a lot of time to reflect about the beauty surrounding you, a lot of time to worry about whether or not you've got moose or wolf or bear or whatever is out there keeping them company, but truly this is not only an endurance race but it is a race that challenges the mind, stretches just almosting isolation in the cold where you are just focusing on your team in front of you, but as you can see when you get out into the -- this is on the outskirts of nome, this is coming in at the end of the race, a lot of isolation out there, and the temperatures that you're dealing with are tough on a human being. they ranged over the course of these -- this past week, the temperature range was a 70-degree range. the temperature in nome yesterday at t

the ceremonial race, the official race starts in fairbanks, well north of where it should be.nt to show you the perspective. when it comes to the conditions across parts of alaska and the lack of snowfall across this region doesn't really take much snow to get started in fairbanks, only say 6 inches is what is needed if the ground is uneven, the terrain is uneven as well. that covers enough to give you stability for both the sled for the dogs as well. that's not an issue. once you work your way upstream, you have boulders in place and you need upwards of 3 feet of snow for this to be an easy go. some of these areas do not have three feet of snow. that's the concern. they have moved it away from the area that has very little snow. as you work your way farther upstream, the snowfall is going to be little to nonexistent. that's going to be an issue. typically, it takes about nine days to get completed. every year, it gets more interesting with the terrain they have to maneuver around. >> those precious dogs need to have some hiking mittens on. i saw they had mittens on their feet

not much snow is needed out to fairbanks where the start of the race is. an even landscape.out six inches is enough for the sled and the dogs themselves to navigate through, but once you get up towards the higher terrain, up into the alaskan range, you have border and large scale rocks that will make it challenging. again, you need three feet of snow. we're getting a couple of feet, work your way into other spots and that's the challenge left in place across this region over the next several days with additional snow expected to come down in the next several days. the other story we're following is what's happening across madagascar. we know that the forecast has been insettled in the -- unsettled in the last couple of days. the storm system itself sits there as a category 1 equivalent hurricane as it sits there off the coast of madagascar. it will begin too strengthen over the next 24 hours. it can get up to the category 3 strength, landfall around the northern fringe of the island, monday night into tuesday. they have not seen this magnitude, so a big story across madagasc
