let's check in with roxanne roberts. roxanne, one top take had a lot of folks talking, all over town, all over the world, in fact, on your web chat, was hillary clinton in africa declaring a town hall she's secretary of state and not her husband. >> well, there was a lot of chat because she asserted in -- she was asked a question and there's some dispute about whether or not the translation was correct. but right after bill clinton swooped down and brought the hostages back, they asked her kind of what she thought of that and she basically said i am secretary of state, not my husband. and some people said that she had a mini meltdown and got kind of, you know, cranky about this. and that it was pure sexism that got asked. and so going back and forth on this. i said, you know, guys have bad days, too. so it could b a misunderstanding or maybe she just got tired of people saying we like you but your husband is really the cool guy. >> who would like to hear that? ran up a couple of huge restaurant bills that have her in hot

roxanne says it saved her life. >> cyberknife is essentially a form of radiation therapy. >> reporterctor, a radiation oncologist at franklin square hospital says the cyberknife provides a very targeted form of treatment. >> this procedure, we are able to target the lesion only, spare the normal lung and it has an ablative nature that makes it very teskt i -- very effective. the robotic arm tracks the tumor, with all the movements in the body or the patient's movements. >> reporter: it can be used to treat any form of cancer. who is behind this amazing technology? a patient who is not candidate for conventional radiation or surgery. >> the fact that we are able to deliver a large dose in a short period has the -- biological advantage over the radiation over a long period of time. >> reporter: she said it shrunk her tumor but didn't take it away. she underwent 25 treatments of traditional radiation and then she was a candidate for the cyberknife. >> how are you? >> good. back to work. >> reporter: and back to living. kelly swoope, "2 your health." >> if you would like more information

let's check in with columnist roxanne roberts. hey, roxanne. >> hey, how are you?> i'm fine, thanks. let's talk about paula abdul. they had a whole lot to say about that. >> they did. the feeling is wacky paula is gearing in her own way and they're really going to miss her. they wondered whether or not idol will be the same without her. and there were some questions about whether or not she really declined to come back or if she was pushed out. but there will never be another one like her, that's for sure. >> that is for sure. she said, of course, it was about money or something. >> yeah. isn't it always really? >> it's always about money. and chatter about the couple in the wedding dance, the ones that danced down the aisle. >> it was an awesome performance. some of our chatters noticed the singer of the performer is chris brown, the infamous boyfriend of rihanna. so i thinkhey basically put something online to say we selected this before the arrest but in respect for some of the feelings of people they asked if they wanted to donate to a cause to prevent domestic

we have a note from ryan and roxanne. any person who can commit such an evil crime as simply satanic. this woman and the children she bore will suffer forever. roxanne says, that poor kidnapped girl will be damaged for life. everyone seems to be sending us comments like that. it's pretty much unanimous. i want you to check out the very last entry of philip garrido's blog has given him the ability to speak in the tongue of angels to provide a wakeup call to save the world. in another blog he says he controls sound with his mind. and then this, you get to hear this man for yourself. remember, as you listen to him, that this guy, this animal, is a registered sex offender, who was on parole, who met his wife in prison in leavenworth while serving time for the kidnap and rape of a woman in 1971. even his brother calls him a fruitcake. here is what he says from jail. >> wait until you read that document. my life has been straightened out. wait until you hear this story of what took place at this house. you are going to be absol

. >> julie: for decades, roxanne hart of britney's a simple act that any headbangers perfected.e washington dc hosted the, there is such a thing, dozens of finalists tried to shred their way into history this year, but only one succeeded. our griff jenkins was there talking up all night long. he is live in our washington newsroom. i am personally amazed that people still do this. and actually, let me tell you it was a fun night, her ticket to the those of us who grew up in the heyday of metal, and i plead guilty there was no funds but leather and headbands and spandex. it was a great contest. they were judged on technical merit, stage presence and their fairness. guys called the shred and the destroyer showed up and to the stage of course without guitars. take a look. team act welcome. welcome to the 2009 u.s. air guitar championships. ♪ ♪ >> presenting the 2009 temperature felt to mr. william ocean. [ applause ] >> congratulations. thank you, dude. i feel incredible good. like when i had the feeling i was going to win next thought. tonight i'm going home i'm going to practice f

i looked it up, the coverage was about the same as roxanne that saberi, the woman held in iran for several months. the journalists. so it wasn't, i don't think, less than it might have been, though there always is a question in an editor's or producer's mind, is coverage helpful or hurtful for the individuals -- >> i think that might be part of the subtext here. >> not a conspiracy to -- but some delicacy. >> with all of the journalists or aide workers, et cetera, taken hostage by al qaeda, the taliban, one thing we've learned is the more attention you give to this, the more profile you give to the hostages, and the more you strengthen the hand of the hostagetakers. that's in the back of your mind. >> there's three hikers right now being held in iraq. >> and a "newsweek" correspondent. >> exactly. >> so it's an -- it's a judgment call, i think. >> would it have been different in these had been two new yo"ne times" reporters? i don't think people know what current tv is. >> that's a good question. i don't know. >> there was a "new york times" reporter being held for months in afghanistan. w

we saw with roxanne saab bare berry who had her sentence commuted, with ahmadinejad being inaugurated just today, talk to us about the timing of how this plays out, how timing could perhaps hurt these tourists? >> the timing is not great. on the other hand i could make the argument that iran is now in need of a lot of good will. the world has seen what has been taking place in iran with the crackdown on thousands of innocent iraqis who feel the election has been stolen from them. they now are under pressure to demonstrate i think that they're moving forward in a responsible fashion. so they need some good will and they're not going to get that good will if they hold up three people and try to exploit that if they're fabricating evidence that these are working not simply journalists, stray iing across the border but working for the cia. the burden may shift to them to say they should be eager to show good faith without trying to exploit it. if they exploit it and try to prevent them from going forward with the nuclear program, i think they lose in the international community. >> former

here with me is roxanne from columbia university and jimed by kim martins from columbia university andt mort zuckerman. you visited afghanistan before, kim, you studied this region of the world and heard a lot of what national security adviser jim jones and others have had to say. are we in more trouble in afghanistan than perhaps we thought we would be six months ago some. >> carlos, i wish we were doing as well as the yankees and we're not. but there's some positive things. the united states counterinsurgency strategy is very much focused on what it should be focused on and providing security for the local population, trying to work on development assistance and get things more unified and more coordinated. the problem we have to take shortcuts because not enough resources and isn't enough political will to do the job right. one of the problems we're trying to pay off some local people to provide their own security and there's a danger there that we'll create more new war lords. >> richard, live in afghanistan, you've had conversation with a wide range of people there. your thoughts

what we talked rizzoli to a woman named roxanne. her experience as a luster to. after receiving an advertisement for mystery shopper job, she received a cash his check them out at $4600 in the mail. she probably deposited the check and three days after bank to verify that it was good. and they did so. she began conducting her mystery shopping work that was assigned to her. now, after purchasing several hundred dollars worth of items, roxanne was instructed to wire the remainder of the funds left from the cashier's check for clients in canada. she learned several days later that the original cashiers check had been returned to the bank as counterfeit. unable to contact a representative, she was left on the bank more than $4000 to that is a classic fake check scam, and those have simply exploded over the last couple of years. her case illustrates that the worsening economy has caused increasing, increased into their work from home scams. and she serling is not alone. we conducted a survey in february of this year and found that 31% of respondents were more likely t

for example, roxanne wrote on facebook, the continental situation sounds a bit like a hostage situationfund should be just the beginning! scott says i don't know how big the airport is -- this area was, but maybe it was misstated that it was a security issue. is the terminal so small maybe it closes at night? go to cnn.com/robin, and there is a link so you can type away. >>> the air in there must have been so stale. >> how long were they on there? >> six hours. but, you know, i mean -- i know people stuck in airplanes for six hours before. i think it's the fact that it was overnight that made people so upset. >> one guy said he didn't eat for 15 hours. i would have resorted to cannibalism by that time. that's enough for me. that's just ridiculous. it was in minneapolis. >> rochester. >> rochester, okay. so i would rather take my son to the public rest rooms in minneapolis. >> one person said they would have -- she said, i would have spent the night in the hospital -- in the jail, but at least i would have had a bed and some food. >> yeah, it's like a hostage situation. anyway, let me sh
