steve-o! that's what i'm talking about. steve, can you make it to buffalo by four? anyone seen steve? enjoy your trip. we will. thank you. we know why you fly. we're american airlines. jarvis. >> steve: back at the woodsen classic. we're seeing a guy who is about as big as a blade of grass, 6'7", 175, ravern johnson, but this young man can shoot the basketball. >> marcus: just slide him underneath the door. he does -- he does one thing extremely well and that's knock down the open jump shots and a little bit of variety of the he's put it on the floor on a couple of plays, takes it down to the basket strong and comes off the dribble jump shot. ravern johnson has really been a surprise in terms of the impact that he has had on this game in the first half 16 points and 16 minutes out of lyon, mississippi. ravern johnson jarvis. >> steve: and he's also part of a defense that leads the s.e.c. in scoring defense, field goal defense and rebouncing, and they really humbled ucla in every area of that in the first half. >> marcus: varnado, four blocked shots. he's tied for te

wow jarvis. >> steve: uh-oh. ravern is dropping the three and barry stewart is doing the same and howland finds his time down ten early. >> marcus: it's raining tres. raining jump shots from deep jarvis. >> steve: 8-0 run by mississippi state in the last 52 seconds, and rick stansbury talked about playing ucla. >> we want to play quick. we want to play fast, and we're going to spread the floor and shoot a lot of threes, and if you guard the threes, we're going to throw tin side to jarvis and, you know, see what we can do and people doubling, hopefully we can make some shots but we know we have to play exceptionally well to beat ucla today. >> mississippi state has been attempting 25 three-pointers per game and shooting 42% from three-point range. the bulldogs are still awaiting the status of freshman varnado sidney who could take him to the next level. that to be resolved by the ncaa. >> and they get the 7'1" defensive force who will be eligible by the end of next week which will also make them a stronger team ja

>> steve: they did, his first personal.izards get a represerve and yet another opportunity there as they were unable to cash in on a couple of offensive possessions. there is the patented move and he scores. the wizards lead by two. they are on a 10-0 run in the last 2:50. >> phil: antawn can make that shot in his sleep. >> steve: 245 shot was a little strong jamison in his best to get the ball to butler, threw it out of bounds. that's a washington turnover, their 12th. timberwolves have won three games at home and three games at home. 3-12 and 3-12. jefferson, not there. off jamison's head. butler has it, he nearly traveled. >> phil: he better watch it. >> steve: gilbert calling for the ball but foye didn't see him. the pick by haywood, foye lost it and the foul will be called on minnesota. i think they got it on al jefferson. that will be his second personal. >> phil: jefferson, who picked up the foul, goes out of the game and ryan gomes is back in. arenas with the jumper, a little shot. knocked away, stays in bounds. her

he has 8 points. >> steve: he makes one of 12. it was the celtics who took him in the 15th overall pick in 2004 from high school in mississippi. he came here in a deal for kg. timberwolves by 2 with 720 to play in regulation. wizards trying to win their third straight game and haven't had a three game win streak in the season before last. >> phil: it's the third time this year they have attempted to go three in a row. >> steve: foul will be called on washington. they got it on brendan haywood. no, they will call it -- they can't call it jamison, they call it agiler, dominic mcguire makes the foul. corey brewer to the free-throw line. another sub par free throw shooter at 63%. he makes his first free throw. this is a minnesota team that ranked 23 in nba shooting coming in. they are shooting 58% from the night tonight. now 12-20. that hasn't been a problem. the problem has been offensive rebounding and second chance points. minnesota has 18 of them. that has been the big difference. that's the offensive rebounding. butler jumper is

steve said discipline.y stages of his career. >> steve: kansas with the early nine-point lead and coach bill self and ben howland not only proud of their teams but their academics. mustafa abdul-hamid is a walk-on from missouri. he has a minor in communications, a major in global studies. and the all american, cole aldrich, 3.3 in communications. we had a chance to visit with cole at the hotel yesterday. >> marques: a very nice, personable young man. spent some time at the amare stoudamire camp. he told me he's got danny manning, the big man developer in all of basketball as an assistant coach. >> steve: danny a national champion. >> marques: champion all-time leading scorer in kansas basketball history. >> steve: honeycutt gets it back inside. powers it up. knocked away. there's that kansas defense. >> marques: there it is again. you have to recognize if you're the blues on the interior, awfully hard to get shots up over -- the defense by the freshman, reeves nelson. >> steve: roll from downtown missing. i

( laughter ) >> kroft: the president's frustration is understandable. while the economy is showing signs of growth and job losses may finally be bottoming out, the unemployment rate is still at 10%. this past week, he outlined a new jobs program built around tax breaks for small businesses, more infrastructure projects for local and state governments, and cash rebates for people to make their homes more energy efficient. >> obama: what i'm interested in is a targeted jobs package that can help to boost what's already taking place. companies are already starting to hire again.

he also hunts as our good conservationist steve irwin told us, he knows a lot about the crocodile. are sensors, they pick up vibration. if something's in the water swimming up to two miles away, larry, they can feel it like sonar in the water. he lives up to 100 years old and can go for one year out eating. >> larry: are these babies? >> this a baby alligator right here? >> uh-huh. >> and that's also a little baby, right? >> uh-huh. >> this is probably a year ago, old, a year and a half old. this is how old, david? >> 25. >> they can outrun a man. in the first 20 yards. can you open his mouth? >> sure. >> you can? >> yeah. look at this, larry. you can watch this at home. we'll open his mouth here. be careful, i want you to look down his throat, larry. don't put your head in there. you see the flap there. you see that. >> larry: i see that. can we get that on camera? it's very interesting. >> he doesn't drown. he can bite without getting water down his throat. he cannot chew. he can only tear. >> larry: aren't we annoying him doing this? >> no, he's used to it. >> larry: guess what,

steve redding. >> my name is steve r exdding, and i am senior assistant county hearing and our office serves approximately 1.1 million people. i want to thank the members of the judiciary committee for inviting me here. i especially want to thank senator clobatur who was county attorney eight years. from the moment she was elected county attorney, she fully understood the dna testing importance in carrying out our duty to convict the guilty and protect the innocent. i also want to thank mike freeman, my present boss for his unwavering support in d.n.a. issues both now and for the eight years that he was county attorney. d.n.a. has solved many cold cases in the united states. hi the good fortune to prosecute the first two cold cases in the united states in 1992 and '93. one of the rape homicides of a recent college graduate and the second was the assault of a milwaukee young woman by a serial rapist. none of those young men will be released from prison. . there was not sufficient amount of biological material to test. 13 of those cases produced john doe profiles. 13 of those cases prod

steve mcintyre was a businessman who was trained as a stastician and mathematician and he looked at the hockey stick and said there's something fishy here. he was not part of the community and yet he's made a tremendous difference and by the way we had both steve mcintyre and ross as cooler heads speakers in the past so your part of a good group and i just wanted to mention that. now r.j. smith. >> larry, i'm wondering if you know of anybody anywhere is looking to me what i think is a very intriguing question here. is how so many seemingly otherwise rational people got wrapped up in this huge monomaniacal craze that man is driving climate change on the planet. perhaps you have to look at books like the -- what the extra madness of crowds and how people got involved, whole nations in the tulip craze or the south sea he island bubble. i mean, a fairly intelligent elementary school student taking a basic course in physical geography or geography know for millions of years the planets have been characterized by ice ages and interglacial warmings and that all takes place naturally without ma

unfortunately, i agree with what steve said, there are issues that need to be addressed so there areform best practices with other agencies, too. >> i want to highlight the experience in some of the jurisdictions that have chosen as a default to test all or nearly all rape kits. these jurisdictions have seen their arrest rates for rape increase by as much as 30 percentage points and had thousands of cold hits. our national -- our average national arrest rape in jurisdictions that have implemented a test-all kits policy climb up to 70%, three times the national average. what, in your mind, is keeping all jurisdictions from moving toward this model? >> i believe that there are three barriers as i outlined in my testimony. n.i.v. report indicated a big one is that local law enforcement agencies don't always understand the evidentiary value of d.n.a. evidence, that it can be used to solve crimes. so many law enforcement agencies in that n.i.j. survey indicated they were not forwarding kits for testing where there was not already a suspect. so that indicates one problem. if a local law en

steve is taking in the coverage from nevada. good evening. >> caller: how're you? >>host: what do you think? >> caller: i am definitely for it. i have been following it and especially after it listening to senator nelson from florida talking about the big insurance companies and the money that they made, and the preexisting ways that they have now, i am for it completely. >>host: thank you. california. you are on the air. >> caller: high. i am against this bill. i personally do not know what is the rush because of these people who were hoping to get the health care reform, those that need insurance, they will not even see it for four years. i am thinking what is the rash? give them another year to talk about it may be within a year's time they can come up with a plan that comes up with the amount of people that need health care. the number keeps changing. but those that are listening keeping their fingers crossed, i hope they realized they will not be getting insured for four years. and an apartment that bothers me is constantly attacking business is back of this w

host: steve, republican line. good morning. [feedback] host: steve, you know the rules.have got to turn down that volume. we are moving on to pennsylvania. murray? debt -- caller: hello. i would like to tie my comments into why we cannot have universal health care in our country. i am opposed to war. i am opposed to my tax is going to support war. especially a war that was based on lie upon live. it was run by war criminals like rumsfeld and bush, who initiated torture. now we have a country that it tends to justify the unjustifiable. i am a quaker from pennsylvania. so i am certainly opposed to war in general. especially unnecessary wars. which is one of the reasons we cannot have universal health care. because needlessly $3 million per day goes to the bloated pentagon budget. it is one of the reasons. the other reason is because the other half goes to the wealthy 1% on wall street. host: we have got the point. general? guest: thank you very much. i understand people's position with regard to war. the only thing i would say is that if you look at the risks to our nation

. >> i would say i agree with what steve said. the prioritization needs to be any stranger rape case and as i said earlier, when you have a written prioritization policy, that's clear that's what's going to happen when the case comes into the laboratory. the issue becomes if a stranger rape comes in and it's not addressed, that's what should be, you know, handled by each laboratory correctly if you will. and the point that steve made about getting the profile in the database, i mean, we even in our laboratory, in our experience, if the case is negative, we will still, meaning there's no malprofile obtained we'll work the standard that's submitted of the subject and put that in the database. so we will do everything we can to get the profile in there. and, you know, sometimes it means that there's no evidence to test. but they'll submit the standard and we'll put that in as well. >> so to summarize, you want those tests. you want the kit done, but once they get there and you want them preserved and there to use but there may be an

. >> host: i have calls waiting for you, steve is in atlanta, georgia, on our independents line. hi there. >> caller: hey. >> host: go ahead. >> guest: go ahead, steve. >> caller: you need a fourth line called fed up. i agree with larry, i was just wondering, do you have solution for this? either in your book or -- >> guest: well, i make several concrete suggestions on how we can try to change the system. for instance, i'll give you just a little bit. i won't reveal the whole book so you guys will go out and buy it, and gals, because it is important that you read my life story on how i got to do what i did, how i got fed up. that would be the biggest line at c-span, for sure. one of the things we need to do with our legal system is to have judges nominated and chosen on the basis of merit, and i have a five-part program, having them go to judge school, having them a psychologically tested. many of our judges are not well balanced, i'm sure you probably have seen that.

. >> good morning, steve. first of all, i'd like to address a caller who was asking about the 2,000 pages in the bill. i wish the media would be more responsible in their responses about the 2,000 pages. you need protections. the health care reform bill is a very complicated thing, so we need protections. second of all, i think that the conservative areas shall the president needs to go in and tell all these blue dog democrats that if you are going to perpetuate the idea that government is trying to socialize medicine and health care, then what we need to do is unsocialize your states. because most of those states are actually receiving subsidies. that means for every dollar that they put into the federal pot they get back $1.40, $1.50. they are being subsidized by the rest of us, and then holding us up on health care. finally, steve, health care is a moral issue. i don't want to hear people talking about competing for my health care. our government is set up to promote the general welfare. we are supposed to

host: steve hayes this morning in the weekly standard 2010 regime change in iran, he points to presidentnaugural address and writes in the weekly turnaround as a candidate barack obama pledged to meet with the leaders of worrogue states with conditions. he said we had been too domineering under george çbush. we spent too much time lecturing and too little time listening. the obama administration would use smart power to change all of that. iran would be the first and most urgent test. the new president started earlyç barbara slaven? >> i think obama has had a role in this. perhaps not the one he would have expected. because he has not been brook n belligerent the same way george bush and others wereç i think has removed america from the equation and what we see now is the iranians are pretty much taking the situation into their own hands. the government is trying to blame the protests on outsiders but nobody believes it because it is not true. this is all home grown. so, although it is not what obama expected, he expected a process of engagement in the government. i think we are seeing

host: albuquerque, steve on the republican line. caller: i would like a question -- to ask a question about eminent domain get you are using words like constitutionality. how did that take precedence over individual rights? i will listen to your comments, thank you. by. guest: that gets into the question of property rights. the constitution does protect property rights. the case that perhaps the caller is thinking about the data lot of attention was a few years ago where the supreme court said it is constitutional -- not saying necessarily a good idea -- but constitutional for a government agency to take by the eminent domain some private property and transfer it to another private entity for economic development as long as it is part of a comprehensive plan, not just a shift from a person a two-person beach. it was 5-4 and a big out why and what happened in response was a number of states tightened their roles to restrict the ability of government agencies to take property for that reason. host: as congress may legislative action o
