a lot of people minot so recognize this particular logo, they might have heard of a product which made company, dyson, a household name. dyson is in fact the brainchild of james dyson, an english man with a passion for architecture and engineering. he's responsible for inventing a range of appliances that have become a staple in the world. perhaps his most famous is this, the bagless vacuum cleaner. we have a couple of quite hairy labrador retrievers at home. i won't say anything about these things but it's an advantage not having a bag if you're that much pet hair to hoover up. let's not go there for too much longer. talk about james dyson instead. he spent five years developing his first vacuum and made more than 5,000 prototypes. he's encouraging other inventors to come up with their own ideas. felicia taylor caught up with the boss of dyson. >> reporter: here we are at the global headquarters of dyson, the birthplace of the bagless vacuum. sir james dyson made it his life's passion to invent and innovate and take the everyday product and make it something a little more unique. and

sure that herman cain knows that we have nuclear power plants, maybe even some nuclear weapons, like minoting like that. >> i haven't followed much of what herman cain is doing. >> don't. that would be a huge waste of time. i have a question. you see these surveys about the healthiest state in the country to live in or the unhealthiest state in the country to live in. you go out and hear from people all across the united states. tell me what state you would live in and what state you wouldn't live in? >> well, the state i am living in, in california, has a whole lot of issues. unfortunately, the state in which we are speaking from right now has a whole lot of issues. the map that i have created, and i am in discussions with google on how we can take this further and turn it into a live map, a people's reporting registry. on my map as it is today, there are 1,700 stits in the united states alone where people are reporting what appears to be higher instance of disease and illness in and around these sites. and when i look at the map, it's startling, but i will tell you, there's a small littl

minot, minneapolis, fargo. all of these temperatures are 0 to 10 degrees. that's the way it feel this morning. kansas city, you feel like 17 degrees. oklahoma city, 22. that's the shot of cold air that works towards new england and the east coast. but this time, just like the last few, it doesn't last very long in a lot of locations. warm air will push back in by the time we get into the weekend. but get ready for the colder temperatures today, working across most of the nation. >> all of america's weather coming up in the next half hour, including a brand-new snowmaker, one to two feet of snow in the northwest. >> why did you have to go there? just saying. >>> you know it's big friday eve here because the muppets are here this morning. they have a big reunion and a new movie. perhaps romance between kermit and miss piggy? >> it's all business this morning. kermit trying to take everything under control. >> we're on pretty soon. i have to check on everybody. let's check on piggy. too much information. and swedish chef, how is it going with the catering? >>

so when it happens we take out a -- from minot north dakota. five citizens have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. too bad. how long will he accept that? probably about 10 minutes so why is life in afghanistan or pakistan less relevant texas is what we have to think about when we look at the realities of the application. thank you.

of disasters, including a tornado thatter to through joplin, missouri, and a flood that inundated minot, north dakota, is running into a buzz saw that forced the government into default in a bitter fight over the debt ceiling this summer. delays in emergency aid are unconscionable and it is terrible for fema to have to choose between which american cities and towns can be helped and which ones can't. the problem with this version of the balanced budget amendment is that it could cause impacted communities to live that nightmare again. it didn't happen after hurricane katrina or 9/11 or other disasters but after the antics of the republican congress this past fall, i'm concerned that this version of the balanced budget amendment would allow another irresponsible congress to block assistance to local communities. we should not set our country up to be at the mercy of tea party hardliners, not at a time when our neighbors and communities need us most. i relayed my concerns to the house sponsor after he was kind enough to call my directly and i appreciate that opportunity. unfortunately, th

i'm tired of minot wanting to be heard as a black woman. how do you propose we continued to combat that? >> part of what we have got to think about is who is our representation. who represents us in the nation that is making these policies? let's take one example. we have lived forever with persistent ways yet for women. it was a guest before the recession and 80 cents on the dollar, close to 80 cents on the dollar women made versus the dollar that men may. now the gap has narrowed i understand only because men are making less, not because women are making more. i don't think there's ever been an individual who, in the office, department of labor, who has actually said that every day i'm going to get up and i'm going to think about this problem of the persistent wage gap between women and men. and i'm going to think about it and i'm going to work on it until something is done. and then going to try different policies and going to promote legislation that will help to do that. we haven't had it. so part of that is representation come and who
