bad this is the state representative steve holland as if it wasn't clear that there's a growing anti mexican immigrant sentiment in many parts of america holland came up with a new way to help show mississippi's particular distaste for mexicans he introduced a bill house bill one fifty that in mississippi would rename the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. there we go with the freedom fries controversy all over again unfortunately for hollande he and his amigos can't actually rename an international body of water they can only change how the state refers to it somehow the bill has garnered enough support to make its way to a committee and if approved would go and approved would go into effect just before independence day time and maybe holland should focus on more pressing issues like the level of poverty in the state subpar education system. and the very very ugly hampshire republican state legislators hampshire's republican controlled legislature wants to get rid of. lunch break. you heard the lunch breaks they recently introduced a bill p.o. law requiring employers to give the

investment pro mike holland says they're making an observation about the bond market, one that holland agrees with. >> the reason it's important is he's observing that when you buy a 10-year treasury or 30-year treasury, you lose money every day you own it. >> reporter: what are these guys talking about? aren't u.s. bonds supposed to be safe? here's the problem. a 10-year bond yields less than 2% these days. and, most of us would agree inflation is about 3%. so even if you hold that bond to maturity, your purchasing power erodes. simply put, you lose. experts say the potential loss for bond fund investors is even worse. and that's worrisome because investors are gobbling up bond funds like it's their last meal. >> if you own a bond fund you should probably sell it. if you're in a bond fund and if bond prices go down as interest rates go up you are locked into that loss, you never get it back. >> reporter: to be clear, what buffett and others are saying may not happen today, tomorrow or next month. you might not lose money right away. but, they still believe bonds are a very risky place

it was more than a year ago that holland reynolds crawled across the finish line but those images areip. she said she did it because her coach was diagnosed with als, lou gehrig's disease. now, more than a year after that race, his health continues to deteriorate but he's still coaching at university high school. we talked to both holland and her coach tonight about heir message of perseverance and how it made it to the super bowl this year and inspired the new york giants to victory. >> i never really thought of like other athletes who were like professional athletes using it for inspiration. so, that was strange. i mean when the story went national a couple years ago jim and i thought that was strange, but now we have other athletes looking towards me and i never thought that would happen. >> the fact she had her goal and it's so deep inside her, that it occurred to her right away what to do. and i think -- i think this giants team i think this professional team, they needed to think about that they wanted to do and willing to do to do it. >> jim tracy says he's doing better than he
