mitch is joining us via skype. so i understand this lady was trying to serve you papers? what the heck is going on here? >> i'm guessing it's related to a lawsuit which took place at a recreational facility that leases property from me. >> you did have two interactions with her before this, right? you thought she was a salesperson, i believe? >> initially on her first visit i was working outside, on the side of my house, and she came up asking, you know, are you mitch. i said, no, i'm not. i didn't want to have to deal with with the work. the next day she came back at 9:00 in the morning and then she came back at 1:00 and did the performance you see on video. >> this isn't a matter of she had to go really bad and this was her worst-case scenario? >> absolutely not. i mean, there is a cam 75 linear feet where she's standing. but what she's doing is making a statement. oh, okay, you avoided me, you tricked me, so i'm going to get you back. >> mitch, what's your plan of action here? are you going to publicly shame her on youtube or pressing charges? >> at this point, i reall

he joined us via skype and told us about mohammad chatah and lebanon's challenges. >> well, this man was a very moderate voice in lebanese circles although he was part of the march 14th coalition. he, as a sunni leader from tripoli has been extremely vocal during the past several years, attacking hezbollah specifically, calling it to withdraw from syria and return to lebanon. i suppose one could say that this is packback for his he will quenc to submit that hezbollah must submit to the will of the government of lebanon which, of course, hezbollah has not done. so perhaps, that might be the reason behind the assassination. lebanon has not really cleansed itself from the 15 years long civil war, the fact that there are two regional forces that are trying to articulate foreign policy. the lebanese are caught in the middle of this. they don't know how to extricate themselves from the kind of troubles that have been imposed on them and, of course, when you are not aware of the problems that you have at home, outsiders will varies easily manipulate those. >> elsewhere, at least two people

our money man greg mcbride of bankrate.com joins us via skype this morning. good morning greg. how likely is it that americans will overspend during the holidays this year? > >it's as much a tradition as apple pie and grandma's house. unfortunately this is not an unplanned expense, we've known it's coming all year long. there's no better time than the present to really make a plan---not only for this year, but then as soon as you get beyond the holidays it's time to start planning for next year so that you can have that money set aside in advance and not be scrambling at the eleventh hour. > >what are your tips to avoid putting a strain on finances into the new year? > >sit down and make a plan. who do you have to buy for? what do you have to buy? what other holiday related expenses do you have on tap? is it travel, are you hosting meals? you want to get a total tally. the next job is you gotta figure out where that money is coming from. the idea being that you want savings and the ability to set money aside ahead of time to absorb these costs as much as possible so that you're

john leonard joins us via skype. he has researched this topic for more than 25 years.his has always been about 25 years away. >> it has been an exciting year. a lot of this has to do with google. they made such a big splash. giving a blind person a ride in a self-driving car. that created a wave of momentum. >> michigan has been playing catch-up for at least 30 years. are they afraid google will get way ahead in the same way that japan got ahead in the 1970s? >> there are two different approaches. the national transportation safety administration has come up with levels. a level four vehicle would be fully autonomous. you could take a nap or read a book. the level three technology is more of an evolution from existing active safety systems in which the u.s. carmakers and europe and japan have had a tremendous record of technological progress. the conventional car companies, it is adding to existing safety systems. google is going more for long-term change towards a transformation of the transportation system. >> all things being equal, when you talk about a crash, i wo

he joins us now via skype. i have to ask you now, how serious is the situation? >> the problem they're fixing is pretty serious. they had to power down much of the station. it put as lot of the science they're doing on hold. it's not really life-threatening, but it's definitely something you don't want to be living that way on station. they're getting there. the first spacewalk went well and red for the next one in a couple of days. >> the other issue that they're talking about is the spacesuit. can you talk about that and explain the situation? >> you know, outside in the sun, it's about plus 300 degrees fahrenheit, so the suit has to be cooled. and the cooling system in that suit while they were coming back in yesterday may have got a littli little waterbury the cooling system. so just to make sure they're ready in two days they're swapping out that suit. there are three suits on board. they're going make sure the guys have the two best suits to go outside on the 24th to get the best shot of getting everything done. hopefully they'll get everything done in that

jeff barton from treadstone joins us via skype. they are selling the gear to the nsa to collect information. could this slow down anytime? >> this is going to be a long process. the nsa will fight this under the justice department. we have a long way to go. this is an incredibly valuable tool. the judge cannot come up with one example where this stopped an attack. this is an open court. there are certain classified materials they cannot present in this form. i'm sure there will point that out. >> tough arguement to make, saying, we cannot tell you. trust us. it is interesting. let me ask you about the business behind this. what can you tell us about how this is going and where it is growing? >> a new data center out in utah is in expansion a massive amount of storage. every phone call of every citizen in the u.s. that is an amazing amount of data. whether they are using it or not is not relevant. it is amazing how much they have to collect in the storage. every phone call that comes out means another set of phone calls. exponential

jason glassberg joins us via skype from seattle. it is unusual the way this happened. it happened at the pos terminals. explain how you think this happened. >> that is what makes this attack unique. we expect these kinds of things to happen through web vulnerability, and it appears that the point-of-sale terminals, the machines we swipe the cards, were the ones that suffered the vulnerability. >> how can a company protect against something like that? how is it different from protecting against online breaches, for example? >> you would think the company would have more control over the access to these point-of-sale devices. they should not be available on the web, they should not be accessible from the web. it points to some inside phone or ability or exploitation, whether it was an inside job or someone had inadvertently allowed some religious software to run and gain access into the company. >> why would the secret service be investigating this? >> it certainly is alarming. this is not the kind of attack one normally expects, especially of this scale. what makes it s

joining us via skype is one of the most prominent gay rights activists in uganda.en they say they will try to block this in court, frank, let me ask you have, what are you going to do? because we understand the bill has been passed by parliament and the president has 30 days to sign it, if he does. >> we're going to go to the court and look at our constitution, and how this bill [ inaudible ] constitution, and [ inaudible ] avenue. >> and do you think that the president will sign it into law? how much support does this bill have in the country? it passed in parliament, but what about the rest of the country. >> the bill has a lot of support from ugandans. right now, because it was very quick for the bill to be passed through parliament, so it is very unclear what the president is likely to do with this legislation, but we are going to work as hard as possible to make sure the president and parliament looks into it very quickly before it signs anything. >> and you yourself are saying that this is a truly terrifying day for human rights in uganda. you are calling it

service swipe machines at target stores across the country. .ith us now is dave kronister he joins us via skype from st. louis. this happened at the pos machines and it is actually worse. explain why. >> in some ways, when you are dealing with the actual pos systems themselves, you are getting the tract data. you are getting the credit card information but you're also may be getting the cvv number that may be in there as well as the account names are him there are of organizations that will not encrypt internally as well as externally. getting directly into the pos system -- they don't know if they breached thepos devices or it was the server at the backend. either way, you have a lot more account information you typically will not see on an online transaction. >> why wouldn't a company like target encrypt this information internally? >> this is speculation. there are a lot of defenses you expect to see on your organization. with these type of attacks, only two percent are actually ever detected. in our economy, we tend to look at the people detected and say they are doing something wrong. some

well, let's speak to fred weir a journalist with the christian science monitor, joining us from moscow, via skype. little doubt that the people behind the bombers are the islamist fighters in the north caucasus region. explain why volgograd is being targeted. not only the attacks today and yesterday, but in october, on a bus. >> yes, this is the third attack in volgograd. it certainly demonstrated or demonstrates a concerted ability by this terrorist organization to hit repeatedly in a single place. it should be a well-protected city, as these things go. it's clear that volgograd has been chosen for some reason. whether or not it's because the main targets, which are obviously sochi and moscow are invulnerable due to the security precautions or whether - sorry. whether they are launching a diversion. this is the problem. nobody knows. >> i get the fear is this could be the start of a sustained campaign. as you say, leading up to the fact that the winter olympics are held in sochi in a few weeks time. that will be the foremost concern for vladimir putin. >> yes, and he has staked his pre prestige

doctor joins us via skype, chief of the university of medical center princeton at plainsborough. vaccine? do you think it will contain the cases in princeton? >> yes, this is for sero type b, the sero type of meningitis involved in the outbreak at princeton university so yes this vaccine will help contain the outbreak at the university. >> you're calling it an outbreak, is the vaccine enough? if i were a parent of a kid there i'd be awfully worried. >> the vaccine is only part of the measure that we advised. containment involves a lot of issues, the transmission of meningitis can occur generally with saliva, so we advised them not to share saliva in terms of kissing, sharing cups, sharing cigarettes. that's our first, the first thing we try to do, make sure that they don't share saliva. the vaccine is the other thing we try to do. we make sure that they have meningitis vaccine upon entry into college but the meningitis vaccine only covers sero types a, c, y and w. the meningitis currently circulate something serotype b and this new vaccine will cover type b. >> i don't mean to be

. >> a reporter with the christian science monitor joins us via skype from moscow with with more. us. two bombings in 24 hours. what are russian officials saying about these attacks and are they linked? >> well, the investigators report at least the initial one from this toll lee bus bombing says that the bombs were -- the bomb that went off in the bus is nearly identical to the train station bombing yesterday and believe they were made in the same place, so they are linking the attacks. the attack today also is eerily similar to one in volgograd which blew up a trolley bus last october, so it teams like we are looking at an orchestrated campaign of bombings. >> no one, i understand, has claimed responsibility, yet are russian authorities pointing the finger at any particular group? >> yes, i think there is no doubt that there is some network in the north caucuses, which is russia's southern region heavily muslim populated, very impoverished badly run area where there has been a low level insurgency going on for about a decade and a half. terrorists from this region have reached ou

a writer for gulf news and political analyst joins us via skype outside buy rot.mer finance minister a target of this attack? >> well, this man was a very moderate voice in lebanese circles, although he was part of the machicolation. he has been extremely vocal during the past several years, attacking hezbollah specifically, calling it to withdraw from syria and return to lebanon. i suppose one could say that this is payback for his eloquence to insist that hezbollah must submit to the will of the government of lebanon, which of course hezbollah has not done. perhaps that might be the reason behind the assassination. >> there are going to be those that look at these images and they are going to be asking should web looking at the beirut of yes, sirster year marred by violence. >> they might be right, although many killed, made homeless and millions have left the country, nothing has changed on the ground. the political realities have not changed, and the agreement that ended the civil war, were not implemented. today, the government of lebanon is trying to reconci

via skype. thanks for being with us today. >> thank you. >> with these women released with, do you accepts a shiftn the government? do you think they may be softening their stance a little? >> it's important to make a distinction here. a lot of it depends on the prerogative of the individual judge in this case and what we saw here is that the judge iníñ the initial case handed down a set of sentences that were particularly harsh, and that caused the public's imagination, and that, i think, caused significant shift in public opinion, which weighed on the government and i think probably weighed on this judge's mind when he was making this second ruling, but yes, it is important to stress that this is coming into can text of a broader clamp down on political protests in the street and the same week that those sentences were handed down, the military-led government implemented a law that prohibits all public protests of more than nine people, and i personally witnessed police turning water cannon on protestors in the streets of cairo. >> do you feel like that support from the military may possibly be
