reporting live in tucson, arizona, i'm karen brown. allen, back to you. >> quick question, karen. we mentioned this new note. what does the sheriff's office say about this new note that was found in loughner's home. >> reporter: deputies say they found another note that basically said "die" then it refers to a woman. that goes along with the document they have already found stuff from giffords office as well as a note saying my assassination with giffords' name on it. they believe he had been tracking her for several years. >> karen brown in tucson, thank you so much. >>> well, a dramatic decision. a man jumps out of a burning building. happened overnight in belmont. it is what that man did next that has all the neighbors calling him a hero. >> reporter: more than two dozen people came back to get their cars and a few belongings following a dramatic escape at 3:00 a.m. this morning. when a two-alarm fire erupted at this three-story apartment building in belmont. >> the fog was no dense we couldn't see or breathe. so we were kind of scared because we didn't know if the building was

karen brown. >> karen, he did have some concerns or he had prompted -- concerns about his mental health. didn't his college kick him out? >> reporter: you know -- this is sort of coming out as a definitely disturbed individual but the college has issued a statement saying they did kick him out because of his behavior. students in a math class with him said she were terrified of him and the college said they told him he couldn't come back until a mental health professional said he wasn't a threat to himself or others. >> tomorrow he is in court. do you know who will represent him. >> reporter: the federal public defender's office said they are asking a pretty high profile attorney to represent him. she is out of san diego, a retired public defender judi clark. she has helped represent pretty high profile clients including timothy mcveigh and the unabomber. >> extraordinary case. all right. karen brown in tucson. thank you. >> let's talk at some of the heros. several bystanders subdued the gunman. witnesses say the suspect casually approached giffords and shot her from about three feet aw

i in the city manager, karen. -- i am the city manager. this is for one cycle. we have completed the audit of the water enterprise, the waste water entity, and as todd mentioned, hetch hetchy broken out. as he also mentioned, we had clean audits. so going into the slides that we have prepared, there are the required communications, beginning with our responsibilities under generally accepted principles. we understand to plan to perform the audits to obtain reasonable not absolute assurance that the papers are free of the statements -- missstatements. things are described in detail in two of the financial statements. as part of the process, we look at the quality and consistency with industry standards, and we found them to be consistent. in terms of estimates, we spend some time -- spent some time. one significant estimate that i would like to bring to your attention is the wholesale balancing of accounts receivable. we evaluated things related to this. another point under the required communications is corrected and uncorrected misstatements, and we did not fin

that's where karen brown is with more on the congress woman's condition. karen? >> reporter: i can tell you she is listed in critical condition. and her surgeons say the next 24 hours will be critical in how her prognosis goes. i can also tell that you indeed the shopping center here where the shooting took place is still cordenned off. you can see the police lights behind me. that's because witnesses are just now being released. they were questioned all day. so obviously, very, very traumatic for them. and the sheriff just held a press conference saying that they don't believe that this shooter acted alone. police rushed victims to waiting helicopters after a gunman opened fire at a public meeting, held by u.s. representative gabrielle giffords to meet her constituents. giffords was shot in the head and rushed into surgery. >> she is in critical condition. the neurosurgeon has operated on her and i can tell you at the current time that i'm very optimistic about recovery. >> reporter: doctors say the bullet that hit giffords went in one side of her head and out t

in positive territory, up 11 points, karen hughes.on the republican side, you look at the president, do you agree with dick cheney who says this is a one-term president? >> well, i do think he will ultimately be a one-term president. we have sorting out to do in my party to pick out the strongest candidate against him. it's not unusual that his poll numbers have ticked up slightly. that happens after a time of national trauma and he gave a very powerful speech in tucson where i think he was right. he did what a president is supposed to do in a time of trauma and that is call us to be higher and better and try to make our debates spirited but more civil. i think it's a natural result of that and the fact that he reached out to republicans and agreed that you probably don't agree with but agreed to extending bush tax cuts. i think he's making a mistake in state of the union calling for a big increase in federal spending. i have worked in government. there are not many americans who think government is too small. it's too big and too int

gwen: i was interested, karen you said the term wars of choice. there are other wars of choice like for the left for gays in the military, he didn't need to do that. on the right, there were choices over earmarks which was cutting off their own noses to spite their faces. both of them to satisfy in their base. are there other obvious wars of choice which stand to be waged before we get to job creation, or maybe hoping that the economy heals itself? that's a tough one. >> i think the reason earmarks has become such a big deal is that there's such a clear symbol of congressional inability to control spending. so they have great value. i think karen mentioned the debt ceiling vote, everybody knows the debt ceiling, the united states government is not going to default. nobody wants to be the 351st vote in the senate for that, or whatever the 200th vote in the house. so people will be using that as a bargaining. i think on the budget, the question will be, ok, paul ryan had this plan but he didn't have to get anybody to vote for it. can he put a budget

it sort of sounds like a bad band, you know, that-- or we were later referred to as karen finley and the three homosexuals, which sounds like a really bad band. i've seen them play. [laughs] and yet this has been a battle. your status as a member of the n.e.a. four has been a decade long, really. yes, it all started in 1990, when the four of us were recommended for funding by peer panels in the n.e.a. and then, under political pressure, john frohnmayer, who was then chairman, took away our grants. and it was during a whole sort of public debate about controversial funding for the arts, and we decided to sue the government. we felt that this was clearly an abridgment of free speech. and it wasn't something that we felt hopeful about changing in congress, since they had given us this horrible law, so that's when our battle started. what was it about your work that was deemed dangerous? well, there was a one-sentence description of my work before the national council voted to take away my funding. now, they never saw the work; they never read it. what they talked about is my identity as
