today, the american medical association says images like these are dangerous, because they distort bodymage, especially for children. >> the only way they can achieve that body image is by photo editing. it's unreal ooisic for them to achieve that. >> reporter: their point is, while mirrors may not lie, photos can. it's almost a given that the advertisements in magazines are ma anyone lapted, photoshopped, air brushed, whatever you call it this is not reality. and thank goodness, because, if it were, this model's head would be wider than her hips. ouch. many of these are apparent attempts of making alreadyy gorgeous people look even better. but look better in whose eyes? ask logan levkoff. >> we're not supposed to look like that. and the average person does not want a partner, a friend, or a sister or a parent who is unhealthy. >> reporter: sometimes it can all go very wrong. look. i have no rib cage. my goodness, my thighless legs are flexible. check me out. my shoulder has been dislocated. all that cutting, crotching and pasting has led so some gross examples of photoshop gone wrong.

the annual meeting this week of the american medical association, they took a firm stand on photo shopping models. the doctors oppose fashion ads which are manipulated to make the models look thinner and taller, among other things and with 'waistlines more narrow than their heads. one doctor referred to this ralph lauren ad. >>> the olympic rings could be flying above lake tahoe. the lieutenant napt governor joined the california winter games committee at the state capitol pushing to bring the winter games to the sierra in 2022. they've got time to gin up the enthusiasm. >> for those that say, i don't care about sports, i think they care about the economy and jobs and they care about a legacy in terms of infrastructure that's benefiting their grandkids. i think this is a great opportunity. >> he says last year's winter olympics in vancouver brought in over 45,000 jobs and nearly a billion dollars in economic activity. >>> back in the 1960s the winter olympics were at squaw valley. >>> we saw a piglet and corn on the cobb. what does that mean? >> it means jaef raneri is in my hood in pleasa

that's a big reason why the american medical association say a third of americans are obese. i'm with dietitian now betsy deech. we've got two plates here. one is correct and one is not. let me guess which one isn't. this is what we do, isn't it? >> this is a typical american diet. americans are are overfed yet under nourished and not getting critical newt reenutrients they >> with this new food plate, are they coming out with these guidelines, changing their minds about what we should be eating or they just came out with a new illustration for it? >> it's a new illustration and it's simpler. the old pyramid was very confusing, and people couldn't really visualize it. it had a lot of information. this is much simpler, and it's in an icon that's familiar to people. so when they take their plate to fill it, they can keep that in the back of their mind and say, oh, okay, i need to use half my plate, fruits and vegetables, whole grains a quarter of the plate, a quarter of the plate for lean protein. >> deidre, do my director, can you put up the graphic of the food plate and look

according to the american medical association, one in three primary care doctors already limits how many medicare patients they are willing to see. according to the same survey from the american medical association, 60% of doctors say that they are looking for ways to get out of medicare completely. so even more providers are going to stop seeing medicare patients. this situation will continue to get worse. if you don't believe me, ask the seniors in your own community. when a doctor retires, ask somebody on medicare how easy it is for them to find a doctor to take care of them. if they happen to be with a doctor when they turn 65, ask if they are allowed to stay with that doctor or if they move to another community to be closer to their children or grandchildren, ask them how easy it is or how difficult it is for those on medicare to find a doctor. the reason, of course, is because medicare pays a lot less than the going rate, but yet the democrats and the president's solution is to pay even a lower amount and continuing to ration and ratchet down that amount, resulting significantly in

the highly respected american medical association says we're doing just that.ing children by allowing these images to surround us. >> photo shopping, especially as it's related to children, adolescents, gives them anunrealistic expectation of what they might expect to look like as they grow up. >> reporter: the ama is launching a call to action, telling advertisers to cut down on photo shopping images in ads and magazines marketed to teens. because of the number of studies linking eating disorders and other health problems to these highly manipulated images. and really, how can we compete? when even picture-perfect kate middleton wasn't perfect enough for this magazine. look at how they sucked in her already tiny royal waist. >> i do feel that it promotes an unrealistic expectation of what women like myself, young women, should look like. >> reporter: dove's campaign for real beauty won over consumers by showing all that goes into gorgeous. but in an age off digital manipulation, where editors doctor images with the precision of surgeons, is it possible to rein

the strong support of american manufacturers and the support of all the major university associations and technology transfer associations. these include the association of american universities, american council on education, association of american medical colleges, association of public and land grant universities, association of university technology managers, and the council on government relations representing the vast majority of american universities. prior user rights ensure that the first inventor of a new process or product using manufacturing can continue to do so. this provision has been carefully crafted between stakeholders and the university community. the language provides an effective exclusion for most university patents so this provision focuses on helping those in the private sector. the prior user defense is not over low expansive and will protect american manufacturers from having to patent hundreds or thousands of processes they already use in their plants. after getting initial input from the university community they recommended that we make the additional changes reflected in this bill, to ensure that prior user rights will work effectively for all private sector stakeholders. prior user rights are important as

the associated press reported that water quality testing across the nation uncovered trace amounts of pharmaceutical compounds in the drinking water supplies of millions of americans. the health effects of these low levels of medications diluted in our water are still being determined. but these findings further illustrate the fundamental relationship of infrastructure to health. the quality of water plays a significant role in public health. but reliable quantities of water play a significant role in public safety. [ sirens ] the water that comes out of the fire hydrants is the same water that you are utilizing to drink out of your own faucets in your home. so it is critical that we have the best and optimal water distribution system that we can tap into. johnson: in the mid-1990s, the water system had just about collapsed. the district had just run into some very dire financial circumstances, and, when those kinds of things happen, the very first thing that goes is maintenance of those things that one does not see. egan: you have hydrants that were manufactured in the 1800s. you have underground pipes, you have underground valves. they get what they call tuberculin built up. you would compare it to a 100-year-old ma
