this is good intercity bus service between phoenix and tucson. you can get all of that work done on the bus if you need to. >> can you help me with the rail though? >> we'll talk about it. next please. >> hi, i'm professor of industrial engineering at the university of rhode island. and just to let steve now, i'm into the newest group in arizona. i know exactly what you are talking about. here's the issue. we started studying on distracted driving about eight to ten years ago. we collected videos that are startling. some of them are outside on display, if you've seen the display that shows the driver eye movement. 10 years ago, we could see the video. i changed my habits, i stopped using my cell phone while driving. so the next part of this is we know that swine flu was identified as the problem last year. this year we have the solution for it. that's one approach to handling an epidemic or a prospective problem. which is med cat community has it. and works very effectively. we don't have that approach for problems like distracted driving, which

he dominated in phoenix to win again and one race away from becoming the first driver to take the sprint couple title and he now leads his teammates and all he hawse to do is finish 25th or better to do better. >>> we have a little wackiness for you. at a memphis grizzlies game at a time-out they bring a guy from the stands and say you're going to jump rope blindfolded. he thinks he is jumping rope and getting into it and then, watch this, after they tell him to stop he takes off the blindfold and he figures it out and look at the guy's reaction and he is mad. >> i don't blame him. he is upset. >> there was no prize. >> no prize, nothing. >> not even applause. >> the crowd, come on, guys, give him something. one lady gives him applause. there you go. >> golly. i would be ticked, too. give me a prize for my humiliation. >>> if you have a teenage daughter or you're a "twilight" fan yourself, be prepared for scenes like this one. people camped tout see premiere of "new moon." the second movie in the red hot vampire series shattered a record with advance ticket sales and opens nationwide on

i want to go out to paul penzone, he is a former sergeant of phoenix police department.e's with childhelp.org. he's an expert in his field. paul, what do you think of the possibility that there are other burial grounds of anthony sowell's? we know that he frequently uses the bus. what does that mean? nobody would be able to identify a car or get a car tag if he were frequenting an area of town where he could pick up women coming in and out of bars. i once had a serial killer that would pick up women coming in and out of the bus station, the rapid transit station. he would say hey, you want to go have a drink with me, you want to go have dinner? and they would go have dinner, then never be seen again. he had women buried all over town. >> it would be irresponsible to think that that's the only place where there are going to be victims. depending on -- if you look at the time frame of when he was released from prison to when they finally realized what he was up to, this is horrific. the likelihood there are victims in other places, missing people who were never recovered a

guest: there are some moslems like the one from phoenix, arizona.he fundamentalists. i also see that the mainstream islamist groups in the united states, these are groups that do not ask their populations to cooperate with the fbi. if anything, they say don't talk to the fbi. if the fbi comes and talks to you, get a lawyer first and do not allow them into your house. they tell them not to cooperate, volunteer, and allowed spies into your home. the only way the fbi can get intelligence is with spies inside the mosques. host: our line for democrats is next, go ahead. caller: i have a question for mr. emerson. i want to speak about the symbolic kids that were on that botat. they said they were terrorists. they were delivering from boats that want to deliver food group these young people board the boats to get the food and medicine for their countrymen. they were not going to harm anybody on the boat. as human beings, we bring nothing up in this world and we take nothing out for it will only take the goodness that we have. guest: i would have to disagre

phoenix, your next. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have the same comment as earlier callers, the debate is being set as a lose lose situation before the president. either he is an e -- an idiot or he is moving too slowly. what i would like to point out to your viewers is how other is a blitzkrieg against every president that opposes the israeli agenda. when george bush in 2006 opposed the israeli agenda, there was a blitzkrieg. the media, used to blackmail american politicians, now he is the most hated president. there is a blitzkrieg against the bottom -- against obama because he does not want to about palin to the jewish masters that print the dollars. host: you may want to stay tuned for our product -- our program at 9:00 today. dover, delaware. on the president's foreign policy. jerry, are you there? caller: i am here. can you hear me? host: yes. go ahead. caller: thank you for c-span, first of all. i the it is ridiculous to say that the president of the united states is dithering when he is investigating the situation in afghan

next caller in phoenix, good morning to you. caller: i think this whole war is a big mistake. host: why is that? caller: we're in a no-win situation going into afghanistan. the soviets with in there, and the afghanis ran them out of theire. is a no-win situation. we are going to send in 30,000 troops to get slaughtered? it does not make any sense. host: "usa today" leads on a public opinion poll on the war. susan page has written the story. host host: next telephone call is from clearwater, fla. on the democrats' line. caller: i say we should absolutely get out now. afghanistan is nothing more than a graveyard of empires. we have these terrible wars, but we cannot pay for health care or higher education for u.s. citizens? as long as we have grossed well to disparity in the world, there will always be terrorism. these horrible acts of terrorism are carried out by an educatiand educated, -- uneducated, poor young men. for all their screaming about fascism, the republicans are the true fascists. people have got to stand up and start fighting back. what is waiting in the wings is

host: ken is joining us from naples republicans line in phoenix. >> a question for you this morning isu, what are your thoughts on that and are you a major supporter of the labor unions. guest: northeast ohio has a a lot of blue-collar and labor union activity, but i cannot see that as a negative thing. there are people in youngstown that understood -- that have understood that they need to change the way they did business 5 for 10 years ago and that is not the way to do business now. 30 years ago, the gm plant had a very difficult reputation in terms of management labor relationship. most recently, they have been awarded the general motors' chevrolet cruz. and that meant that they needed to step up conditions that would allow the plant to be competitive there is a local hospital that we are trying to use the stimulus dollars to preserve 4000 jobs at local hospitals. the groups have been stepping ñrcertainly there are still unis that do not get it, but i can tell you that most of the union's have stepped up and understood that they need to be a partner with management and with the busi

the pain is widespread from foreclosure cities in the metro like phoenix and vegas to areas like cleveland and st. louis and new york suffering losses in auto and manufacturing industries and financial services and those places heavily reliant on state and local aid in massachusetts, new jersey, most of the northeast. all this local level stress has serious implications for the national economic recovery. over the next couple of years just as the federal recovery spending trails off continuing local government budget tightening and expenditure cuts can impose significant drag on the economy even as it is about to turn the corner. as we all know when cities and suburban municipalities make cutbacks daily off workers and for low and cancel vendor contracts and eliminate funding to nonprofit providers. all of which were directly remove demand from local and regional economies because numerous individuals and organizations are across the metro left with less money to spend on salaries, supplies or consumption. that is the dynamic facing cities in many suburbs all across the country. so again t

trailer that crashed into a house at a rest stop on interstate 10 near tonopah, arizona, that's west of phoenix. the driver of that 18-wheeler is dead. and two people were in the backyard of this home at the time of the crash. they've been flown to a hospital for treatment, but my goodness, what a mess there. >>> we've been watching a massive protest unfold on the campus of ucla all afternoon. take a look at this, the fists that are flying. hundreds of angry students protesting tuition and fee hikes. similar protests are taking place on all university of california camp uses today we want to point out and at one point the protesters trying to get into the building where a committee meeting was being held, police lines blocked them from getting inside, though. and police say 14 people were arrested for lawful assembly. but in the end, the committee did indeed okay a 32% boost in student fees. the first increase of $585 comes in january. next fall, students will be charged $1,300 more. the full board though is scheduled to vote on the increase tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. local time. so don't know if w

here's one in phoenix.e thank america's veterans for their service on this day and every day. >>> cleveland detectives are expanding the search next door to the home where 11 bodies were found looking for more evidence and bodies. city crews are cleaning up debris at the property to prepare it for thermal imaging. suspect anthony sowell is being held on five counts of aggravated murder. police say he lured women into his home with liquor and attacked them. nine of the bodies found in the home have been i.d.'d. >>> the driver of that bus that crashed late last month in georgia died of natural causes. the former owner of the bus said ralph marshall died of a heart attack. the 63-year-old died after a car incident but an autopsy showed no evidence of significant injury from the incident. results of toxicology tests are pending. >> i'm jane velez-mitchell. here's my issue. everything that happened in the accused cleveland strangler case can be traced to drug use. it's the underlying theme of this whole nightmar

question of the water needs for the communities thriving communities like las vegas, los angeles, phoenixe species. and the effect on native americans, et cetera, and you get a conflict mix. final example i'm going to reference in terms of our departments interest in water deals with the science side. we're a major science agency. the united states survey is part of the department of the interior. and we, through the u.s. g.s. has the longest and most comprehensive analysis of water supply mt. united states. we run thousands of string gauges in rivers and lakes and waterways throughout the country. and have for years. this water data case is supplying the guts of our analysis of water impact due to climate change. likewise, a terrific ground water analysis, analytical capabilities, many of you are scientists, know that. so we're a bit of a laboratory, i would argue, as the department of the interior were for the intersection between the water challenges of the future, and our economic needs of the future, our energy needs of the future, et cetera. and let me just share with you a few obse

we are in the phoenix metropolitan area. we are actually the 38 largest city in the country. we are actually in the community for which they termed boomer was invented because we are a very large city that lives in the shadow of the city of phoenix among several other large cities and in mesa our biggest challenge, growth has been our biggest industry. we have grown at a tremendous rate. when i graduated from high school 35 years ago mesa was a town of 74,000 people. now foreigner and 64,000 people. the other thing is that until literally this last month maza was the largest in america without the property tax so we rely completely on sales tax, on stage shared revenue ended arizona of the state does not levy a property tax. their revenues are primarily sales tax and income tax and on earnings from our enterprises, our water company in wastewater and things like that. obviously two-thirds of those industries people still use water and they still have garbage. those of held fairly steady but our sales tax has gone really in the drang. i took office in june of last year with a
