and they live up in independence, iowa. islamic but lori arnall's parents -- >> no, i didn't speak with lori's parents. >> anybody else? how about somebody from oelwein? >> there's got to be a question from oelwein. >> i've been down here 18 years now, but i wondered why you centered on rowland, on what was your -- i haven't read it, i'm going to buy it tonight and read it. why was he chosen as a main character versus some of the other meth addicts that you talked to from oelwein? >> that's a good question. i -- the question was why did i center the character of the addict in the book on roland jarvis as opposed to any other addict in oelwein, and the answer to that is that because he would talk to me. [laughter] and he was, you know, willing to let me into his life for three and a half years. and one of the reasons that he would talk to me is that at one point his doctor had been the man who is sort of one of two principal characters in the book, cui holbrook, and you know, i was looking for people to write about and clay

over half of all counties in the state of iowa, just the state of iowa will play that missouri and othertates have at least one medically underserved area and that's an area that doesn't have a doctor, nurse, nurse assistant, dentist, so one. so over half of all counties have at least one underserved area and about a third of them have more than one. here's the thing that you can think about. why not again prospectively instead of trying to attract people back once they've gone, right? because he and a little cord gets thinner and thinner. why not identify people who are going to be the doctors and nurses and the dentist and the lawyers and whatever else you need in a small town here it and say right, here's the deal. we'll help you out and will have few do an internship at one of the local profession and will help you out if you go to college and will provide some of your tuition or older tuition for your professional school. if you sign up to give us ten years after you graduate. that would pay huge dividends for a fairly small investments. and again, you know, think of it as they can

over half of all counties in the state of iowa, just the city of iowa, i can tell you about missouri and other states, have at least one medically underserved areas. and that is an area that doesn't have a doctor, nurse, nurse's assistant, a dentist and so on. so over half all counties in the state of iowa have at least one medically underserved area and about one-third of them have more than one. here is a thing the you can think about. why not again prospectively instead of trying to attract people back once thick of gone, right? because the umbilical cord gets thinner and thinner the longer your way it's harder to come back. why not identify people prospectively who are going to be the doctors and vendors and the dentist and the lawyers and whatever else you need in a small town and say here's the deal. we will help you out, we will have you do an internship with a local profession and help you as you go to college and provide some of your tuition or all of your tuition for your professional school. if you sign of to give ten years after you graduate to read. that would pay huge d

you can compete for those types of industries and that will give you a couple of examples that are iowa examples. the google plant that is the opening near west des moines or has opened by this stage, it is called cloud computing whatever that is but apparently it is lots of computers together in a cloud. and again these are good jobs. they are sort of high-tech jobs but here is the thing about the google plant though. i just wonder how many iowans are going to get those jobs, because if you have a workforce why, is there a mismatch between those jobs and a workforce that is there and again that is the larger point that there needs to be better preparation for people to be able to do those jobs and so on so i think yes i think the internet and digital technology more generally offers opportunities to build and grow, opportunities that would not have been there 15 or 20 years ago, but the danger is that then you focus on what they call-- so you are dependent on landing a big plant in maytag is a good example of what happens. it can almost kill you. so there is the danger of that too. >>

but i am a great advocate of the university of iowa hawkeyes. they had a great season. the team operated as a team. and they respected the rivals. and the rivaled respected them. all competition that sets the model that politics should follow. i don't simply mean an elected legislator or member of a executive branch at the state level. but the notion that all of us is part of a national politic ought to be very competitive in advance all of our convictions vigorously. but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't respect the other side, listen to the other side, that's what people do in sports. i sometimes think the great models of leadership today are the great coaches. whether it's joe paterno or kirk

they now can vote in iowa. it is one of the major reasons obama one in iowa. i'm thankful that we would get some kind of health care, if not the best kind, that we can have in this country. our local radio station, a man said he was thankful to get a liver and pancreas replacement. as a result he felt health care would be bad if it were universal because he would not be able to get everything he needed, even though he thinks that getting everything mean some people not getting anything. host: do you have a full-time job? caller: us, i have a full-time business, but make sure that i do what i can to help with in the community and nation. the other thing i'm very thankful for is that in shifting from the healthcare and will get into civil rights now because as a black man, unemployment is 30%. we're just loaded with prisons, even being treated unfairly with this crack cocaine king were a lot of these young men, five years mandatory -- there will give someone who could have 1 pound of cocaine off. host: will leave it there. paul on the republican line in arkansas

did that against northern iowa. >> dan: northern iowa winning earlier today against boston college. northern iowa from the missouri valley conference. >> larry: he led the squad in assists last year. >> dan: this is fabers. shot clock at three. tough shot. draws iron. faber keeps it alive. a fresh 35 for the blue demons. >> larry: a very smart play. he didn't try to take it back up. he didn't get himself in any trouble. turned around and found kelly out there wide open. reset the offense. >> dan: 45-42 depaul. out of the big east taking on the a-10 st. joseph's hawks. walker, tough shot. recognized the screen coming up and the defense. just off the mark. >> larry: shot clock was winding down. they needed to get it up. >> dan: they missed the lay-up and a foul underneath. and that will go against carl baptiste. phil martelli needs those to drop. >> larry: when you get that close up there, you've got to make sure you're going to use the glass. if you have indecision at all when you get up in the air up there, put it on the glass. >> dan: left side it goes. stovall with it. >> larry: j

he played for iowa two seasons ago. sec's third leading scorer. >> dan: stepping outside, no good. here comes tennessee. and they throw it away. this time, they turn it over. >> larry: not a good pass that time. i was watching the handling of the ball by hopson. he just left the man too much. >> rebound by cameron tatum. >> great hustle in front of us by smith. boilermaker fans applaud the effort. >> dan: 27-23, tennessee leading purdue. and sam, something unique on the volunteers uniform this year. >> their teammate suffered from sudden cardiac arrest after a foot race with his teammate bobby maze. now, luckily it's only 60 yards away there was an aed that had just been donated by the u.t. medical center that literally saved his life. it was really cool to see him get back in practice this week. they don't know about his future basketball year, but he's the pulse of this team. great personality and they're happy to have him back. >> dan: great store rirk isn't it? >> larry: it's a wonderful story because his heart actually stopped beating. and they revived him and got him back. no

i will give you a couple examples that are iowa examples. the google plant that is open near west des moines or has opened at this stage where they -- it is called cloud computer whatever that is. is lots of computers together in a cloud. but it is -- these are good jobs, high tech jobs, but the thing about the google plant, i wonder how many are going to get those jobs. because if you have a workforce -- is there a mismatch between those jobs and the work force that is there? that is the larger point. there needs to be better preparation for people to be so i think the internet and digital technology more generally offers opportunities to build and grow opportunities that wouldn't have been there 15 or 20 years ago but the danger is that the new focus on what they call elephant hunting so you are dependent on landing a big plant. >> these are young people who have chosen to stay, right, after college. crazy people. and one of their pet peeves, their first report came out in 2007, a group formed by the great legislator to basically, you know

my mentor is the coach at iowa. he said when you leave me, it would be okay to do what we do, but be yourself and that's sort of what you see is basically what you get. >> i hear you were a manager. >> right. >> what was that experience like? did you see a whole different side of the game? >> i was more connected with the players than i was the coaches, but there was no task that was too big or too small whether it be the laundry or doing the floor or being on the scout team or hosting patrick youing on his visit to boston college. you did it all and that's what i've tried to do as a coach. whatever needs to be done, that's what i'm going to do. >> do you feel like a lot of guys come in and i'm sure at every level, and everybody -- >> how did you shape ego when they first come in and try to teach them, all right. we'll do this thing together. >> first of all, if anybody's going, when we as a team are successful. you as an individual will benefit far more than as you as an individual are successful. we were a good ba

ann in iowa. hi, ann. >> caller: hi, nancy.o her from iowa. >> thank you so much. this is a blouse she gave me for my birthday last week. i'll pass that on to her. what's your question, dear? >> caller: i'm a parent and a grandparent, and i don't condone anything that i've watched about this family. my question, though, is do you think that possibly the mom confessed "a" to potentially avoid prosecution but "b" to possibly think it was the only way to get out of an abusive relationship? >> excellent question. sue moss, peter odom, daniel horowitz. there's nothing that says police cannot trick you into a confession. miranda applies when you are in custody. she was not in custody. she was in her own home. so that's not going to apply here. so do you think she did this to avoid prosecution of her, of herself, peter odom? >> it very well could be, nancy. the authorities are no doubt going to use her confession. they're going to try to get her to cooperate against him. and if he's as abusive as people are talking about, that might j

the single biggest cause of bankruptcy of the mill in my state of iowa and i think most of the country biggest single cause of bankruptcy is because of medical expenses because people bump up against lifetime caps or annual caps and can't make it and they declare bankruptcy. no other country in the world, and no other country of the world is this allowed to happen. so, it is incumbent upon us to get this bill through. at the beginning i want to salute the majority leader, harry reid. for what he has done. we had our bill that came out of the committee that i am not privileged to share after the untimely death of a our esteemed colleague and friend, senator ted kennedy. our help kennedy bill came through under the great leadership of senator chris dodd. we passed on july 15th. and then the finance committee under the able leadership of my friend and classmate, senator max baucus of montana. they did their work and then the two bills had to be put together, and that was done by the majority leader. and he did a masterful job of putting the two bills together and getting it down to the co

we talked to people in the generation iowa commission. these are young people who have chosen to stay after college. you see people, right? one of their pet peeves is their first two perkin on 2007 compass is a group formed by the state legislature, basically to attract more people back after graduation. in their first report they said the digital infrastructure in iowa is shambolic, but there are so many technology bald spots that it's not even funny. phone reception or a dial-up now, it's not broadband but dial-up is an aspiration and not a reality. and again that's something that is relatively easy to do. you know, as a technology develops, it's much easier to build up that kind of digital infrastructure. you are right, having the thing simply is not only to attract people back, that crazy thing, what kind of stayers do jobs like that allowed to telecommute? why not? you know, it's not just, i want to get people away from build the goodies just to get people back. we should all benefit from those things. i mean, that's coming you know,

let's go out to shirley, iowa. hi shirley. >> caller: hello, nancy. >> hi, dear, what's your question? >> caller: do you think the mother will get the same charges as the guy? in my opinion i think she needs to. that is so sad about that. >> shirley in iowa, we can only pray that she meets the same fate as mario mcneill. i've laid out the legal theory for the lawyers, for the prosecutors e erors in case the it. not that they need it. out to christine, alabama, hi. >> caller: hi, how are you? >> i'm good, dear, what's your question? >> caller: i was wond erlg, have they laid out, like, a timeline as far as how long or if the mother knew, had already known that shaniya -- >> hold on, christine. if the mother knew what? >> caller: if the mother had already known. did she have any idea? >> idea of what? an idea of what? >> caller: that her daughter had already been murdered by this man she handed him over to. >> okay. at the time she called police, christine, it's my understanding they were already checking into the ho

just to give you a sense of how productive our land is, iowa produces more green than canada. that is surprising when we first. but that happens to be the reality. the question you are raising is can you protect the productivity of these soils indefinitely because you will need more food? >> what i was hearing is those soils are drained wet before deforested wetlands. each time we take a cropped off even though there is the road and we're taking material from the soil. eventually that's will will be diminished. there is not going to be anything left to grow anything with because the crops are made of atoms and molecules from the soil. >> what we are losing is nutrients. what we are putting back now is nutrients. we have broken the natural nutrients cycle by losing -- we take crops from rural areas and consumed them in cities and they end up in sewage system and those nutrients do not get back on the land. is even more true of international trade re-export 1 hundred million tons of grain. we export three million tons of plant nutrients like phosphates and nitrates and potassium

this is a revolution that's happening in iowa and in kansas and in places we don't take a where again, a huge amount of immigration and interracial marriage and all the rest is changing our country. that would be a big story and of itself. and it's certainly worth a book in of itself. but then there's the family revolution. if you go back to that old, real majority. the typical american family with mom, dad, and kids, usually to. today at one third of americans describe their own families that way as being a mom, dad, kids, according to stan greenberg. the number one description for a family today is love, that people get. love. so when people are asked to describe what their families are in an open number question, the answer is love. i can understand that. if you go back to 1960, 80% of kids under the age of 18 lived with a married parent. now 69 and a falling. sixty-nine and falling. divorce rate has doubled from 1960 to 2000, but it's been pretty stable. interestingly at the beginning of our country, most marriages ended in death. now the end by choice.

question is from a manacle has lived here all his life, how can we restore hope for the farmer in iowa, given some of, and this is my word and maybe not yours, but plight recalled the sort of deprivations of some of the big agriculture. i think that number one, people have to talk honestly about what happens when for instance a town is financially vulnerable and they have a meat packing plant and the people that buy the meatpacking plant come to town and hold the town hall meeting and there is plenty of evidence of this and say we will buy your packing plant, but if we do, the union will be dissolved immediately. and if it isn't, then we won't buy your packing plant. what are you going to say? no? in the case of oelwein they lost 2,000 jobs that were part of -- it was part of their meat packing industry. 2,000 jobs out of 7500 people at that point? the revenue source of that is incredible, right? and unfortunately the fact that so many people had good jobs in a cingular industry is what made them vulnerable. so i think that, you know, number one, people have to talk about things like t

[laughter] iowa's sane then and i think i am saying now. you know a lot of people, a number of questions when i speak to high schools and colleges about you know, when it is over with a say to me you don't seem like you are angry or hateful or all of that sort of stuff. but i was not taught hague at home, so i had to let get these people as just plain ignorant people including governor faubus said that is where i was, where i was coming from, so i think i was saying then even at 14 because i knew i had the right to be there. and i have kept my sanity the best way i have been able to and that is really by staying above it all. now, that might not work for the other eight but it works for me, and that is the way i dealt with that. >> dr. roberts you are a psychologist. are you saying?

. >> host: fred in burlington iowa. please go ahead with your question for judy tempered commack yeah, i have a mother who thinks all gays should be killed, that harvey milk got what he deserved. and i believe that if more people read what you are talking about and watch bill mars, ridiculous, we would have less fighting to. this whole thing about nature and nurture trying to see things black and white, i can see a little available for just about everybody. and so what? someone chooses or someone has a thrust upon them. and lastly, well first of all, thanks for your work, judy. and it's just -- the world would be a whole lot better place if people could just learned that -- well, there's such denial. the bible says at least twice that john was the disciple of jesus loved. well, it was a world. that's the way things were. there's no need to be ended now about that. >> host: judy shepard, any response? >> guest: i haven't heard that interpretation but i agree with you. you are who you are. i think nature and nurture plays

the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: i'm not in favor of doing nothing. the previous democratic speaker, senator casey, said if we do nothing, costs will go up. i think that the fact is that if you look at c.b.o.'s analysis that says costs will go up even more, if this bill, this 2,054-page bill passes. so i want to spend some time because there has been some obfuscation on what this congressional budget office letter to senator bayh really means. this morning, the nonpartisan congressional budget office sent a letter to senator bayh providing a very detailed analysis of what health insurance premiums will look like as a result of this 2,054-page bill, and i have the letter from the congressional budget office right here if anybody wants to read it in detail. like many of us, senator bayh wants to know if the reid bill is addressing our constituents' number one priority -- costs. and i think if you were to have a saturday morning coffee club meeting in almost any of the small towns of america, and they were discussing health care reform -- and emphasis up

. >> it is because of a iowa, which we love. is there ever a point where this reaches its shipping point -- a tipping point? >> it is money. if you look at the obama campaign, it raised seven under $50 million. -- $750 million. these are substantial companies. one of the problems we had in the main king campaign is because he came back from being -- in the mccain campaign, because he came back from being in last place, the day he became the nominee, the were 38 people and the headquarters. it was an infrastructure that was something that we wrestled with for the rest of the campaign. you do not have time to scale it up. if you have to put together a campaign, and this next campaign will be the -- the first billion dollar presidential campaign, on both sides, if you are going to put together a billion dollar campaign, you cannot do it starting in october of 1991, like president clinton. no one will ever take public money again in a campaign. it takes years to put that structure together and to execute the business plan. that is t

same with parts of iowa getting decent rain. here's your snow, right around nebraska/kansas state line. look at the pileup to about 2, maybe 10 inches of rain in some spots. specifically just south of nebraska. four to ten inches of snow from manhattan to kansas today. two to four inches of snow will pile up from areas between i 80 to i-70. >>> something else we're watching. space shuttle "atlantis" is on its way towards the international space station this afternoon. they plan on launching this thing a2:28 eastern. the only thing of concern is a wind now about 15 miles per hour at times. also look at the mid-level deck of clouds. that will not go far too far soon. i tell you, it will not rain there. no thunderstorms just low clouds and also stiff wind out of the northwest. might not get it up. you can see breaks in the action with the clouds a little. i don't see rain in the forecast that. will slow them don't. i don't see any of that. >> sts-129. hopefully they will get up in the sky. >> delayed, delayed. i think they will get

the distinguished gentleman from iowa, the ranking member of immigration, steve king. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank the witnesses for your testimony today. and one of the things that came out of it for me was to be in the same room with george martin and willie wood, and jim brown. to see you all on the same field because i didn't think i would see that. so i appreciate that and i want to remind folks here, just as i watched on saturday night, iowa-michigan state game there were two injuries that resulted in players being carried off the field and they both, to help contact. so it comes at a particular timely fashion. however, as i listened to the members of this committee to discuss this, and we've covered a lot of the territory, i noted that sheila jackson lee said she is concerned that owners need the right image, and her opposition who might be buying the saint louis rams, and her reason for that is the owners that might not have the right image pic she was anymore specific about that but we know who she is talking about and that is rush limbaugh. i would ask commissi

the distinguished gentleman from iowa. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank the witnesses for your testimony today. one of the things that came out of it for me was being in the room with george martin and willie wood and jim brown. i did not think i would never actually see that. i appreciate that and i want to remind people here, just as i watched on saturday night on the iowa-michigan state game, there were two injuries resulting in players being taken off the field. they were held-to-helmet contact. as i listen to the members of the committee discuss this, and you've covered a lot of territory, sheila jackson lee said that she is concerned that the owners need the right image. her opposition to who might be buying the st. louis rams and her reason for that is honors that might not have the right image. she was not any more specific for that. we know who she is talking about, rush limbaugh. i would ask commissioner goodell this question. your position on the owners having the right image and i would directed to your statement on the 13th of

the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: mr. president, i would like to be notified when i have spoken 20 minutes, please. the presiding officer: i will be glad to do that. mr. grassley: on november 10, the former president clinton visited the democratic senate caucus. it has been widely reported that his message to senate democrats was that on health care reform, the worst thing to do is to do nothing. with all due respect to former former -- to the former president, that is simply wrong. mr. clinton, the worst thing that we can do is pass this bill. this is not something that i say lightly because there are serious problems with our health care system. there are important steps that we need to take to fix the problems in our system, but the excesses of this bill appear willfully ignorant of what's going on on outside health care. those things deal with our economy. those excesses make this bill far worse than doing nothing. we are a nation facing challenging economic times. we have seen the auto industry go into bankruptcy. we

the other democratic senator from iowa took the occasion to tell the capital newspapers that maybe we should start voting over whether the chairmen are keeping their gavel. this was a message not to go too far with the deal. there is a mechanism that is here, and i saw the liberal groups announced that they have raised $3 million against any democrat who is against the health care bill. are these the individual leaders, or is there a force to prevent the kinds of things that they seem to do? >> the committee did pass the bill. the president -- they strongly support him, to make a bipartisan deal. >> with a democratic majority, in the house and senate, he does not have to reach across the aisle. he does not have to present legislation that is acceptable to mainstream republicans. if we want bipartisanship, the best thing to do is take away those democratic majorities in november, -- >> necessity being the mother of invention. >> you spoke about something earlier that is very true. any time a republican tries to be bipartisan, he is crushed the next day by rush limbaugh and bill o'reill

or new york city today. . . >> i am a great advocate of the university of iowa hawkeyes. great football season. almost a miracle one. but the interesting thing to me is how this team operated as a team. and then it had rivaled. and they respected the rivals, and the rivaled respected them. there's something about sports that sets a model out there that politics should follow. and politics, i don't mean an elected legislator or member of an executive branch at the state level. but the notion that all of us is part of a national politic aught to be very competitive and advance all of our convictions vigorously. but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't respect the other side, listen to the other side. that's what people do in sports. i sometimes think the great models of leadership today are the great coaches. i mean whether it joe paterno, or kirk, these are great coaches. and they set a model. and then you have great players that they get news sometimes for doing something arrogant or uncivil. at -- athletes are taught to compete full blown. the result might not come out ex

. >> former iowa congressman jim leach, now chairman spoke friday about multiculturalism. from the national press club, this is an hour. >> i thank you very much. i appreciate it. and i've been waiting all day for the opportunity, come on up, to ask a few questions of myself to ask the guest. thank you very much for being here. it's a bloomberg-washington summit. a little history for you, he worked in the u.s. attorneys office from new york, handled some very high-profile terrorist case there is. went to work on wall street, as a general council came back in february to run the enforcement division of the fcc. a very important time in the fcc's history, and of course in the course of the financial crisis. first of all, welcome. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> there are a whole range of issues that i want to talk about. i want to start about first some the folks may have seen you recently out in front pretty high-profile investigation. >> the return of insider trading, some folks thought it went away. >> as you can tell, this is not the national pre

. >>> what a turning point for the iowa hawkeyes. they were down at halftime to lowly indiana, but this turns it around. the quarterback is hit, look how many times this ball bounces around, winds up in the hands of a hawkeye, thank you very much. goes off for the interception return for the touchdown. they rally to beat indiana 22-24 and remain undefeated on the season. >>> the bat cave. that's what san antonio plays. that's a bat during an nba game. sacramento's kevin martin has no idea he's got a friend flying right along with him on the fast break. the mascot tries to catch him. dressed up for hallhalloween. but the real bat man, ginobli. ever try hitting a fly? try hitting a bat. and he does. no word on the bat's condition. did he go to the hospital? concussion? i don't know. but ginobli gets the job done, though. that's sports. >>> hey, how about this for a markup. an item that costs a little over a dollar sold for nearly 200 bucks. inspectors say one military contractor padded the bills and a lot of your money paid for it. >>>

the iowa attorney general did a mail survey with members and found essentially the same result. in my experience, prosecuting several of these cases, including one against a mortgage company where mortgage accounts were charged through direct mail and telemarketing, they did a survey of the consumer services representatives with fleet mortgage, and you got almost the same responses that were reported in your staff report from those representatives. "this is a fraud." "this is a scam." "why do we allow our customers to be charged?" third, unlike the regulatory problems where you have to balance how you intervene in markets, this is one of those rare cases where there is a clear and obvious solution. prohibit retailers and financial institutions from selling access to consumers' accounts to third parties. there is no legitimate commercial reason to do it. consumers mostly already think this is the law and it should be. it is with great appreciation that i thank you for calling this hearing. i have been trying to call attention to this problem and you have already made more impact
