time, by simply typing stop. "with this program granting that anonymity we aren't able to clarify. we aren't able to update people. it's just an unknown until we are able to get someone to admit that and say "i submitted it". " monticello, anamosa, the jones county sheriff and jones county safe and healthy youth coalition split the two thousand dollar annual subscription cost for the texting program. so far, chief smith says that's money well spent because they've received many helpful tips particularly about drugs. jury selection has started for a man who's on trial for the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend in the marion hy-vee parking lot last spring. 32 year old nicholas luerkens is charged with first degree murder. authorities say he followed 29 year old lynnsey donald around for months before he ambushed her in april. after the attack, police say

himself. lynnsey donald's seven year old son was with her when the stabbing happened. the defense plans to claim leurkens had diminished capacity and was intoxicated at the time. iowa city police say a man broke into a house and assaulted two people. 33 year old ricardo prosper faces charges of first degree burglary, assault, and domestic assault. a conviction could put him in prison for more than 26 years. police say it all happened about 6-30 sunday morning at a home in the two thousand block of davis street. officers say prosper does not live there, and had been ordered to leave several times. they say he punched a woman in the face, who then threw him out and locked the door. that's when police say prosper kicked open the door and assaulted a man in the house. the state has tentatively agreed to pay 235-thousand dollars to settle a lawsuit by a former resident at the iowa juvenile home. jessica turner claimed in her suit that the home kept her in small cement isolation cells for 280 days between 2011

she claims she would cry and tell employees she was in pain and wanted out, but they would only let her out to use the bathroom. governor branstad closed the juvenile home in toledo last year, partially over concerns about the treatment of residents. landlords are frustrated with the amount of time it takes the black hawk county sheriff's department to serve eviction notices to their tenants. landlords say after they receive a court order, it usually takes about a week for someone from the sheriff's office to serve an eviction notice. now, the process is amount of time because a sergeant is on extended medical leave. landlords say they understand they have to be patient, but it's costing them a lot. "you are asking me as a landlord to go another month without collecting a rent, because you don't have enough man power or somebody scheduled that can help you remove the person you need to go, and that hurts." "we've got a total of 24 evictions scheduled over the next 11 days, our civil division only runs monday

through friday and we only do evictions on day shift because of the iowa code." captain boeschen says he has stepped in for the sergeant on leave, and things are going as fast at they can. a university of iowa scientist now has 3 point 7 million dollars to find matter. that's because scientists have measured all the matter they know about and it only adds up to half of what they say it should be. tv-9's forrest saunders is live in the newsroom this morning. forrest, this goes beyond people places and things? for years scientists have been trying to find missing normal matter. that's the stuff composed of protons and neutrons. people, stars, planets, everything that we can seen. that stuff should equal 5% of the universe. but it only comes out to half of that when added up. this u-i professor is using his nasa grant to find out where the rest is by building a tiny satellite

small body, a few x-ray detectors. the professor is looking into whether all that missing matter is actually giant halos of hot gas, circling galaxies like ours. the detectors are a way to see the gas and help measure just how much there is. " the leading idea is that the extra matter is just in very hot gas that we can't see, because it doesn't make visible light. but, it does make x-rays. " the plan is to have the satellite assembled and ready for a ride to space by 2018. it will spend 520 days in space. this is the third time the professor has applied for the grant. he said he's really excited about the opportunity, but the pressure is on. his cube sat will be one of the first of the tiny satellites to look outside the solar system. back to you guys. tv-9's forrest saunders. thanks a lot. we have our three finalists for november's gazette, kcrg-tv9 student of the month. 11-year old gabby shakespeare is a 6th grader

the 20-16 race to be the g-o-p presidential candidate is getting interesting. ben carson is ahead of donald trump in the latest national poll. the campaigns are duking it out over upcoming debate rules -- many now saying they won't sign on to a plan that they agreed to just one night before. abc's lana zak has more from washington. "they can't handle a bunch of cnbc moderators... overnight. president obama poking fun at gop presidential candidates and their the republican debate demands... "if you can't handle those guys, you know then i don't think the chinese and the russians are going to be too worried about you." and after initially banding together, the republican alliance is coming apart at the seams.... donald trump says he prefers to negotiate for himself telling bloomberg tv sot "we should be like basketball players?go on strike...demand money for charity." also refusing to sign on: john kasich, chris christie and carly fiorina,

"that's a bunch of garbage. i don't deal with that type of stuff." carson pushing forward with demands that include: -no "gotcha" lightning rounds -no show of hands questions - and a requirement that the temperature remain below 67 degrees. as republicans debate the next debate... anotehr poll shows carson in the lead. six-points ahead of trump nationwide. marco rubio is in third place with 11-percent. ted cruz and jeb bush... a rounding out the top five. based on this poll, the same 10 candidates are likely to be on the main stage for the next debate, whatever form that takes? but the results are particularly concerning for gov. bobby jindal, who may not make even the undercard debate, with

ohio residents will vote on marijuana legalization today. this is the first time voters in a state election will decide whether to approve recreational and medical marijuana at the same time. under the measure, residents would be able to grow their own four plants for personal consumption. if, approved, ohio would be the fifth state to legalize recreational marijuana. cleanup efforts are underway after severe storms rolled through several southern states over the weekend. there have been at least 18 tornadoes in the past three days, from texas to georgia. the national weather service says it's the largest outbreak since july. parts of texas also experienced flooding, which has killed at least six people. a popular store in one iowa community is closing its doors for good. and it's leaving lots of workers without a job for the start of 20-16. here's a live look at our citycam this morning.

amazon is offering customer a chance to get black friday discounts -- before black friday. the retailer launched its black friday deals store yesterday. it will feature sale items daily between now and december 22nd. amazon prime members will get the deals 30 minutes before everyone else. amazon also announced a major overhaul to its employees' parental benefits. new moms get 20 weeks of fully paid leave.

birth mothers and primary caregivers can ease back into work on a flexible schedule. the new policies start next year. the new york times published an article about the online retailer's workers having a poor balance with work and life back in august. the target in ottumwa will permanently close on january 30th. the store's corporate office confirmed to a-b-c affiliate k-t-v-o that it notified employees of the closure yesterday. target says it is offering all eligible employees at the ottumwa store the option of transferring to other target stores. it closed the store in clinton in january of 20- 15. 20-16 presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle will stop in eastern iowa today. that includes the democratic front-runner and one trying to make a name for himself in the g-o-p field.

good morning. this is a live look on our city cam this tuesday. it's november third and this is what you need to know. voters will head to the polls today across eastern iowa. on the ballot -- city council positions and a tax levy that could mean more money for cedar rapids public library. g-o-p presidential candidates are going back on their debate demands the campaigns agreed to earlier this week -- and carson is gaining ground on trump. monticello police say an anonymous tip texting system alerted them to a potential threat at the high school. now they admit, there are some holes in the system. jury selection begins for nicholas luerkens, who police say stabbed his girlfriend at a marion hy-vee last spring. and a university of iowa professor gets money from nasa to build a new satellite to

vying for the at-large and district candidates for city council. voting officials in johnson county will be extra watchful during today's city elections. they want to make sure "poll watchers" are following state law. johnson county auditor travis weipert says he's heard some candidates in university heights and iowa city will have poll watchers at voting locations. these people can contest a ballot, if they believe the person who filled it out is not eligible to vote. weipert told tv-9 earlier yesterday that he was waiting on some paperwork from some those poll watchers who will be write-in candidates for mayor and city council. but he contacted us later to say no write-in candidates turned in poll watcher applications. waterloo voters are headed to the polls today to decide whether to support the grout museum district. the cultural and scientific facilities levy is a new property tax for the district's five facilities. a few of those include the grout museum of history and science, the imaginarium, and the sullivan

brothers iowa veterans museum. project leaders say this is the second time voters will take up this issue. it didn't get enough support in 2013 and left the museum to make tough spending cuts. those behind this effort say this is their way of supporting the district's five buildings and keeping new programs and exhibits coming. "19:55:31 when we added on the vets museum and acquired all of these properties it was built into the plan to look for more funding and this has been the most reliable source of funding that we can look for." the committee says if this passes, it would mean an extra dollar-25 per month for those owning a 100- thousand dollar home. it would bring in about 600-thousand dollars a year. as voting closes tonight, you can catch the results on tv-9 news at 10 and kcrg dot com. with now an even stronger lead in the polls, democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton comes to iowa today. she is hosting two town hall

one in eastern iowa. the first town hall will be in coralville at 3 o'clock. clinton will speak to a crowd at s.t. morrison park. then she heads off to grinnell for another town hall at 6:45 tonight. both events are open to the public. on the republican side, ohio governor john kasich is also in eastern iowa today. he will speak at a town hall at 11 this morning. kasich will be at loras college in dubuque. in the recent wall street journal/ nbc poll kasich has 3 percent support among republican primary voters. "where's the matter" .... is what's the matter. nasa recently gave a university of iowa professor millions to search for matter and conduct some potentially ground breaking research. tv-9's forrest saunders joins us at the desk this morning. forrest this professor is looking for matter that can't be found? what exactly do you mean? here's some simple science for you. studies show 5% of the universe should be what's called normal matter, which is people,

planets, stars, the stuff made of protons and neutrons. the rest is dark energy and dark matter. trouble is when scientists start adding things up, only about half of that normal matter can be found. so where's the rest? ui professor philip kaaret is a man looking for missing matter.a sherlock holmes of space who, instead of using a magnifying glass, will be making a satellite for nasa after receiving $3.7 million from the group. "i made a very sophisticated model. the satellite will actually be slightly smaller than this box."it'll be what's called a cube sat. inside its small body, a few of these x-ray detectors. you see, the professor is looking into whether all that missing matter is actually giant halos of hot gas, circling galaxies like ours. the detectors are a way to see the gas and help measure just how much there is. "our project is to try to

that it solves the missing matter problem or is it smaller and we have to go look somewhere else?" the plan is to have the satellite assembled and ready for a ride to space by 2018. it'll also provide grad and undergrad students a chance to work of something for nasa which, if you're an aspiring astrophysicis t, is a dream come true. "when you start here as an undergrad, you start taking classes, you never expect to be working on stuff that is actually going to go up into space."but, in a few years it will, starting it's 520 day mission to give us back on terra firma a little better understanding of what's going on up there. "it'll give us a better understanding of our galaxy, our own home galaxy." this is the third time the professor has applied for the grant. he said he's really excited about the opportunity, but the pressure is on. his cube sat will be one of the first of the tiny satellites to look outside the solar system.

yeah, thanks a lot forrest. alliant energy has teamed up with the city of oelwein to help people reduce their energy costs. together they're offering energy audits and will weatherize any home for free. it's part of the "hometown rewards" program that offers incentives to cut energy usage. so far, 60 oelwein home owners have signed up to get the free help. "we have newer windows, we have a newer roof but i'd like to see them come in and let us know what needs to be improved." alliant hired the green iowa americorps team to do the work. members can't do large jobs like adding insulation or

replacing windows. but if the audit finds air leaks, the members will caulk, add weather stripping to doors, and other small jobs to improve energy savings. bruce harreld is into his first week as the president of the university of iowa. he's hoping the rest of the week will bring fewer protests from student and staff calling for him to quit his job.

governor branstad says he would be okay with using eminent domain for an oil pipeline. but he says he'll let the iowa utilities board make the decision for the proposed bakken oil pipeline. the pipeline would stretch from north dakota, through much of iowa, to southern illinois. and it would carry up to 570 thousand barrels of crude oil each day. the utilities board will hold hearings later this month on whether to allow eminent domain. the board could make a decision next month or in january. university of iowa president bruce harreld says he hopes students, faculty and staff give him a chance as he starts his new job. he had his first day as head of the university yesterday. dozens of people protested on campus, and some gathered outside his office in jessup hall. they called on him to resign, saying he has little academic experience. protestors fear he could cut programs that don't bring in money. but harreld, whose background is as a businessman, says he wants to talk with people about their concerns.
