they have to rely on polaris because unlike every other star in the sky, polaris is relatively fixed in place. if you can measure the distance from polaris to the horizon, you can figure out your latitude. it is a very simple system. go through these two holes until you sight the north star. you see where the bob lead. you take down the bearing. this is also not perfect because the north star is only visible in the northern hemisphere. if you go south of the equator this is just a piece of lead. it can be measured -- it can be used to measure the angle to the sun. where you are north or south of the equator, with extreme exceptions, you are going to see this on. if you can measure the distance between the sun and the horizon at solar noon, when the sun is at its highest point, that will give you your latitude. all you have to do is a few calculations. you don't want to stare at the sans. -- sun. that is not a good idea. there are better ways to do it. you could do it with this, but it requires two people. it up until the sun -- you can line it up until the sun shows on the ground. it

. >> reporter: pictures from polaris images show the officers being treated by paramedics and wheeled into the ambulance. ferguson has been the site of numerous protests after since an officer killed michael brown in august. brown's family released a statement condemning the shooting. part of it reads we reject any kind of violence directed at members of law enforcement. it cannot and will not be tolerated. we must work together to bring peace to our community. president barack obama also addressed the violence in a tweet calling it unacceptable. he says our prayers are with the officers in missouri. a path to justis is one all of us must travel together. elissa harrington abc news. >>> warning people about possible rabeies exposure. a dead bat has tested positive for the disease after testing positive on black hawk road. rabies is passed by touching an infected animal or by being bitten by one. it can be deadly. control officials will be handing out flyers detailing the symptoms that people need to watch out for. >>> bart police are using an unusual-looking mobile device keeping eye

well let me quote from one of them the polaris project. quote -- "the bipartisan support to address modern-day slavery should not be held up by a separate debate on partisan issues." that's a direct quote. and if ever there was a partisan issue, it's the right to choose. that's a partisan issue. then there's a letter from the national network for youth -- quote -- "this legislation is desperately needed and we cannot let this moment pass us because of the addition of partisan and division -- divisive provisions." let me read that again. "this legislation is desperately needed and we can't let this moment pass us by because of the addition of partisan and divisive provisions." so, again, mr. president we're offering republicans a simple solution. remove the language, go back to the same language you had in the bill last year which has broad support. if republicans do that today we would pass this bill today. i know this is the democratic time to talk so i'm going to allow senator hirono to continue. we need to end this sneak attack on women

we have 16 nuclear polaris submarines, seven and sea 306 the five days a year on a rotating basis -- the five days a year on a rotating basis. each one of those subs could iraq kate iran and turn them into -- eradicate iran. one of your prior callers made mention of bp oil. there was a great look -- a great book by david kinzer. from the time of alexander the macedonian iran has not attacked anyone. this constant pressure with this bombing is detrimental to the united states of america. it is driven primarily by resolution 338. it was passed by jimmy carter in the carter administration and the united states has used its veto in the security council to deny palestinian statehood in spite of international law which has been violated by israel for close to half a century. host: we will go next to lee in las vegas, nevada. caller: good morning. host: glad to hear from you. caller: i am not sure if the question should be, should the u.s. trust iran. i think the question should be, should the u.s. trust our republican congress and senate. it seems like they are the ones who are pressing re

i'm involved with an organization, polaris, on the front lines of trafficking.ld different issues hostage because they're not brave enough to deal with their own politics. but your point about their own record should make this vote very easy for them. and this is completely unnecessary or all three of the issues that secretary clinton outlined in her twitter. >> so on the politics, josh, where does this lead for republicans? >> the resistance isn't about loretta lynch. it's about opposition to anything president obama does, and immigration. they want to try to hold up homeland security funding, found out that didn't work. and much that has been done has been done through the justice department. and then on the human trafficking issue, there's this item that was in this piece of legislation, been in there for months, democrats didn't notice it until a few days ago, that says that funs raised in this can't be spent on abortion. there are a lot of provisioning in federal law preventing funds have being spent on abortion. this is an extension of that debate. it's no

missiles and polaris summary and's -- submarines. that was the offer. would withdraw the missiles, we would withdraw obsolete missiles, which were our to being replaced by more lethal ones. kennedy refused. his own subjective assessment but whatever that means, of nuclear war was 1/3 to 1/2. that has to be the most horrific decision in history. down. the u.s. did secretly say that it would withdraw the obsolete missiles, of course, which we do need anymore. but take a look at the balance of power that was assumed to be legitimate. we have to establish the principle that we have a right to surround anyone with lethal offensive weapons that can obliterate them in a second. but they can't do anything anywhere near us. take a look at the conflict with china over the maritime conflict. where is it taking place? is it off the coast of california? the caribbean? no, it is off the coast of china. this is part of the concept that we basically own the world. and that we have a right to do anything anywhere we like and nobody has a right to stand up to it. in the

signed by the alliance to end slavery and trafficking rights for girls share hope international, polaris and nearly 100 other anti-trafficking groups say this: "we urge all members of the senate to turn away from this divisive debate, find a bipartisan approach to this new initiative to protect and serve the needs of survivors." well we came together when we passed the expansive new authorization, the violence against women act. i realize some in this body who now say we must vote for this voted against the violence against women act. but i worked more for months with the remarkable people, the national task force to end sexual domestic violence, the coalition of thousands of organizations that represent millions of victims of domestic and sexual violence. i spent hours upon hours explaining what we needed. we listened, we crafted a bill to respond to these needs and i trust them. they have dedicated their lives to making sure that survivors have a voice and they say now -- quote -- "we write today to express our deep concern about the controversy of inserting the hyde provision into the

polaris, one of the major groups that is working on this issue of sex trafficking when they release their report, here's what they had to say the scope and scale of human trafficking within the united states presents a daunting challenge to policy-makers, service providers, law enforcement and advocates. originally human traffic was thought to be more of a problem in other countries but now it's known to be happening in our own back backyards. it is estimated there are hundreds of thousands of victims of labor and trafficking inside our borders. so what we know today is that 83%, mr. president 83% of the victims in the united states are from the united states. it is not just girls at the bottom of a ship which does happen. it is girls right in our country country. girls right in minnesota on the streets of rochester where just in the last few months we had a 12-year-old girl that got a text invited to a party showed up at a mcdonald's parking lot where she was supposed to go, a guy puts her in a car takes her up to the twin cities, rapes her, takes sexually explicit pictures of her puts t
