and he is expecting business to pick up with these prize spikes.utch you are one of the few guys on the continent who is benefiting from this long-term excess production of natural gas. >> that's right, ally, although i think we're really going to experience it in the months ahead. in fact drilling for natural gas has been at a -- a -- a 20-year low over the last three, four years, because of the low commodity price. with the spike back up to $6, though, you can bet that the exploration companies are scrambling right now to get rigs to start getting gas. >> i should tell our viewers, because we like to talk to people who run businesses, before 2005, you were in the pipe and tubing business but you weren't anywhere near the energy market. >> that's correct. for a 43-year-old company, but in 2005, we made the strategic shift into oil and gas exploration, meaning providing pipe for it, recognizing the bergening shale plays in both canada and the u.s., and frankly we have not been disappointed. it has been explosive in more ways than one so to speak, a

. >> we had spike strips across both lanes, into the grass. there was no way that this van was going to go through without being spiked. >> sergeant manning, seen here on the right, waits for the fugitive to arrive, but not for long. >> i move toward the back of my police car, as i see the suspect vehicle has crossed the center line now, aiming right for my car. i didn't want to run out to the left or to the right and get run over, so i just waited till the suspect vehicle was committed in one direction. >> the van is barreling toward the officer at a tremendous speed, showing no signs of slowing down. with the vehicle right in front of him and with almost no time to react, manning makes a split-second decision and jumps into the embankment to his right. the driver of the van slams directly into manning's cruiser. the impact caught on video by a dashboard cam in another squad car. when the van hits, manning is standing only a couple feet away. >> and there was a tremendous bang and i saw it out of the corner my eye, my car just going up and ba

spike lee joins us now.d to have you on the program you talked about the trash getting picked up, facilities getting better, police being more active. all those improvements after a community starts to gentrify. to you is that because white people have moved into the neighborhood? or could it be a function of pure economics? like it or not in this society the more money you make the louder your voice is heard, the more politicians and police pay attention? >> i think it's a combination of the two. but i don't think you could deny the fact that race takes a part. now, i'd like to say first of all, last night i spoke at pratt institute. i was invited to speak there for black history month. and people there have a very short memory. there's a thing called white flight where with the decay of urban cities, white americans left these cities. they'll flee away from taxes, crime, whatever. and went to suburbia. it followed them. they said why are we spending three hours a day on the long island expressway? let's mo

he runs f with these recent price spikes he's is expecting, this company so show up. dispiets this excess production of natural gas. >> that's right al ali ithink we'll experience it more in the months ahead. drilling for natural gas has been at a 20-year low as you mentioned of the low commodity price back at $2. but you can bet the e and p companies are struggling right now in order to get rigs and get down some of those areas that you talked about about. >> back in 29, you were near the pipe and tubing business but not anywhere near the energy plant? >> that's correct. in 2005 we made the strategic shift into oil and gas,. >> recognizing the burgeoning shale place in both the can't and the u.s.a. it's been explosive in more ways than one so to speak and the shift has been to oil with the demise of gas pricing since this last comment he have seeng. we don't see this ending really, any time soon because the inability to redirect rigs, to replevinnish those inventories, 30% bloa what they were last time, why will be looking for higher gas prices of late. >> with natur

let's talk about spike lee, interesting case in point.one of the most successful people in the country. he's worth an incredible amount of money. he's selling a town house for $32 million. he could move into a bad neighborhood and bring everybody's real estate values up in one fell swoop. >> he is a causative factor. if he moved into a swamp the prices would go up next door immediately. i mean, a bad movie makes $40 million, $50 million. maybe he doesn't have the full perspective of a family who has worked 30, 40 years, paying taxes, now that 3, 4, 5 million to them, that's a tremendous change. he spoke about his grandmother putting him through moorehouse. some of these families when they move south and down size, what do they do with the money? put their children through college or grad school. the money doesn't evaporate or disappear. but we've never been able to do that. >> real estate has always been in america -- there's been bubbles and bust, but it has always been for regular americans the only key to wealth creation. the only one.

while critics contend that there is no measurable spike in such activity around big sporting events, victims and those who work with them tell a different story. in this church in montclair, new jersey, only nine miles away from where the game will be played tomorrow, sister pat daly has a different concern about the super bowl -- protecting young women she believes are being exploited by sex traffickers. >> people don't realize the underside of the celebrations. we see spikes of advertising for sex trafficking and prostitution in and around large sporting events. >> one so-called super bowl week special we found online this past week offered customers a chance to get out of the freezing weather and get warm and cozy with me. another from someone calling herself a new barbie in town and calling herself an nfl super bowl secret promised satisfaction is always guaranteed. sister pat says traffickers take advantage of the increased demand for prostitution by bringing in girls and some boys from across the region. the effort to control trafficking at super bowls is actually nothing new.

did you feel there's more people who feel like spike?mix, i think people have both feelings. i think with spike lee -- he talked about his family if they did, that turned out to be a great investment, so there could be some ambivalence. >> i think it's a very important topic, and it's taking place, as we said, not just in new york, but really all over the country. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> appreciate it. >>> columbia professor/ought thor lance freeman, thank you for your insight. >>> at capitol hill you're looking at live pictures of the senate floor. moments ago we learned that a bill that would expand benefits to more veterans and their families have been defeated. republicans say the $21 billion price tag is just too high. also they wanted an amendment requiring new ascensions on iran. new sanctions on iran. you seem knowledgeable, professional. i'm actually a dj.

officials in palo alto have also seen a spike in car and home burglaries. the meeting will be tonight at 7:00 in the city council chambers on hamilton avenue. free parking is available under city hall. >> the cost to park at meters in downtown san jose could double. the city council set to order new smart meters, those will let drivers pay through smart phones, the problem is the meters are expensive, nearly $1.5 million. to cover the cost rates will double from 1 dudes $2. the meters could be installed by the end of next month. >> snow coming down in several states. meteorologists say more is on the way. the storm will cover parts of illinois, indiana, ohio, kansas and missouri by this afternoon. then the northeast is supposed to get more snow this afternoon and tomorrow morning with up to seven inches in the new york area on top of the eight inches new york has gotten in the past couple of days. that's a lot of snow. >> speaking of snow, we are now two days away from the start of the competition at sochi. this is a live look at the olympic park, looking o

check out the spike in homicides after stand your ground became law, lisa. tell me what the graph shows you. >> yes. well, it shows the huge increase in justifiable homicides. translation, people shooting and killing other people and getting away with it, without any legal accountability. and i have a chapter about this in my book. it's not just florida. you see that pattern repeated in all the stand your ground states. and you don't see it in the nonstand your ground states where the numbers stay roughly flat. so we are talking about a real body count here. >> so let me stop you right

it surprises very few when spike lee blue up over this one question. >> his hometown, spike lee was answeringn he told this audience he did not see a lot of good coming from the idea. here he was. >> this is the christopher columbus syndrome. we have been here. you can't just come in. you can't do that. you can't come in the neighbors and say why you want to come in. and kill off the native americans. you can't do that. you have to get no respect. there is a code and you can't move in and get an update. when michael jackson dies, wait a minute. we can have black people celebrate here. who is coming into the neighborhood. garbage and there is dogs running around. so we have to move forward. they just moved into the neighborhood. they led for you guys to respect and you have the culture that is laid down for generations and you come in and you have a chance because you are here? >> okay. let's talk about this. >> nice to see both of you. welcome. >> micheala. let's begin with you. you were neighbors with spikily for years in ft. green. you spend a lot of time in harlem. do you agree with them?

looking at this big spike in the march natural gas futures contract.occurred in april or the june contract, and while we're looking at prices that may have been higher for futures than, say, a year ago, nowhere near the same level of price spike that we're seeing in this front month contract, and it's largely due to the weather, but also due to the infrastructure and the pipeline issues we have in getting all of that shale gas, talking about this natural gas boom. yeah, we have great production and a lot of natural gas, but getting it to the right place has been the problem. >> and how are we -- to sharon's point, how are we even having this conversation about splice and demand given the amount of gas we're producing in shale territories? >> sharon makes a great point. sometimes it's not about just having it in the ground. once you get it out, the right place to store the natural gas. >> seems absurd we can't get it from point a to point b, fast enough to even having a supply/demand discussion in this country at this point. >> that's the beauty, it cre

when those spiked up, you saw gasoline spike up almost 20% in three months.nuary that it did last january, where you're starting to see the ethanol corrects come up. the epa is talking about encouraging more biodiesel. if we hit that blend wall, people will have to buy these and then gasoline should follow. there's different ways to play this. you can play it via ethanol. i'm just long gasoline. >> this gets back to what we were talking about yesterday. and that's pain for the consumer. they're feeling higher heating bills. and you're saying the gasoline bill could be higher. >> yeah. you're going to have higher gasoline bills, as we go into the summer driving season. the way the market works, the energy markets, they're going to start talking about the summer driving season. and i talked about tesoro might be a buy. >> this one's for beakers. about energy. what do you think about chesapeake's energy situation looking out a few quarters? >> i sold natural gas today. i think we have a big spike here. i would not be inclined to be buying chesapeake or any of th

spike put it back on the market for $32 million. unbelievable place. google hatch house and you can see the photos. on it's an unbelievable place. there is no corner of new york where won't find working class people struggling to stay on. right off the bat it raises the question when somebody comes in and buys an estate and looks to resell it at twice that price, what effect does that have on housing prices. it's not that anybody should be condemned, but just like anybody else, spike lee is buying and selling and trying to do what's right for him and his family. no reason to criticize for doing the same thing. their transactions might have a few zeros left off. >> yeah, yeah. you have rosie perez, a long time resident of brooklyn and friend of spike lee. she talked to him and agreed with and understood what he was trying to say, but it's easy to dismiss as him being crazy. you put in the top and here he is in all his mother f-ing glory and did he have a point? the folks were part of the renaissance and lived the history are being fo

now, oklahoma is not in denial about its earthquake spike. quite amped up rattling of the past few days and the past few weeks, oklahoma had hired a state seismologist to start looking into why this is happening. the swarm of earthquakes has lasted long enough now in oklahoma that the red cross has begun offering a what to do in an earthquake app to oklahoma residents. knowing to get yourself under a desk or into a door frame is one thing, but knowing what is causing this huge spike in quakes is a whole other deal. the oklahoma state seismologist says it may have something to do with injection wells. where fracking companies inject the wastewater used in fracturing shale and breaking up that rock to get at the natural gas that's trapped inside. the wastewater from that very water-intensive process has to go somewhere and a lot of times they inject that wastewater into injection well sites. the state of oklahoma has more than 4,000 injection wells. the state seismologists told "the new york times" in december that injection wells can sometimes

you also saw a spike in volumes for natural gas trading.ose contracts and certainly, heating oil i would imagine. what has surprised you about this polar vortex? >> well, i have mean, you know, natural gas is a great one. we're up 30% in natural gas in january also. so it has been a huge volume-getter for cme, not only in our futures products but in the options on natural gas too, liz. so it has been quite volatile in there. one week we have a polar vortex and then it is 45 in new york the next day. so you know, the market and natural gas has had extreme volatility with the weather conditions. liz: we are bumping up against what could be another battle over the budget. i'm sure as ceo of a major u.s. and global footprint company it has got to be annoying to you. if you as a leader had the opportunity to speak not just to the president but congress what would you say? >> well i mean, we've seen the movie. we don't want to see it again. let's le, you know, have a adult supervision in the congress and let's get the budget resolved. i do believ

you mentioned the big nasdaq spike. the big caps and small caps are also making some very big moves today. you see the drop and the pop for the s&p midcap index. a similar pattern for the small caps. you'll see that in the russell. you can see it right there, as a matter of fact. down .75%. year-to-date the russell is down 6%. the midcaps down 5%. perhaps we shouldn't be surprised given the gains we saw last year. seema mody is live in times square to put some perspective on all of that today. >> good afternoon. the nasdaq on track for its worst week since june of 2012, that adp report certainly not giving investors a reason to get back in this market. in fact, one trader telling me he doesn't want to step back in until he knows where the bottom will be. with that said, technology stocks have had a terrible day today. some of the stocks that have a significant weighting on the nasdaq are lower, including google and amazon. apple shares outperforming, getting specific, 3d printing stocks getting hit on the chin after 3d

america tonight"'s christof putzel went to get the answer to the questions, what's behind the heroin spike. >> the city of new york has a heroin problem. heroin related deaths have increased 84% in the past four years. heroin is now cheaper more potent and easier to get than ever. the result is a city reeling from a new epidemic. new york has become a major transit point for the drug to reach a whole new generation of users. organized heroin mills are set up in all five of the cities boroughs creating a gateway to the outskirts and beyond. >> taking the five kilograms to the mill, the mill will have seven or eight workers, they will get a bunch of cut, baking soda or any other kind of powder, mix it with the heroin and make more. >> the mills are often hided in secluded middle class neighborhoods that provide easy access to smuggling routes up and down the northeast corridor. >> you see all kinds of ways that people smuggle heroin. >> they are ingenious with some of the schemes they come up with. they found these build abears that were stuffed with heroin. there were other cases where hero

you see the spike right before the volatility.you want to jump in on the comments because you are frustrated with this market. >> i am frustrated but michael is right in the sense that equity valuations were so low four or five years ago and the fed comes in and pumps it all up and here we are five years later and the fed is still here, which is exactly the problem. why equities are continuing to -- >> wait, wait. you have big time m & a, three blockbuster deals in the last few weeks. signs the economy is improving, maybe some bad weather. >> i understand kenny's frustration, including today, the market is going up on lower volume. he knows this stuff better than i do. and going down -- these are crazy things. in the background, companies are doing okay and the fed is still here. your point is equally well taken and that is when companies are making these bids now, they are 20, 30 and 40, forget about what's out, you have 20, 30, 40% up when you have things like barnes & noble. that shows you the private market value, maybe it's i
