as we watch some strong storms move in from jackson to memphis, montgomery, toward atlanta, it will be a little active today. one or two tornadoes could pop up. but the biggest problem with this could be wind and hail here. one more nice day of warmer temperatures, as the cold front behind the coast in the northeast that will drop the temperatures down. 60 in new york. 65 in philly. 64 in washington, d.c. and there's one big rainmaker in the northwest today. some of this will be near two inches of rain opinion and seattle snow. more than an inch of rain. there will be local flooding there. and a look at the big board. more of america's weather in the next half hour. bill? >> thank you, sam. >>> let's turn to "picturemorni" . wild streets of new york city. we thought the cabs and the screaming people were enough. but now, there is a coyote loose in manhattan. police chased it down following posting signs on twitter. >> actually good use of twitter for once. i was just saying. >> send complaints at bill weir abc. but this isn't the first time. a lot of students up near columbia saw a coy

he reported to the draft board in memphis, tennessee, for his induction. a day later he got a buzz cut. private presley was trained in tanks during his two years in service and obviously never stopped writing his music. >>> dysfunctional allies? the u.s. and israel are stuck right now over the issue of construction plans for east jerusalem. israel's defiant about moving forward. the u.s. wants it stopped, saying that middle east peace is at stake. kevin flowers is in jerusalem. the u.s. and israel are tight. we've known that for years. the u.s. gives israel nearly $3 billion a year in aid. so how far will israel push this building issue? >> reporter: well, kyra, that's a question a lot of people are asking here as well. and what we know for certain is that it's almost politically impossible for the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, to announce publicly a freeze on construction in east jerusalem. if he did that, his coalition would fall apart. he would be out of power. but at the very least what the united states would like to see is an end to the

middle of the country this is where all the warm air is coming from. 80s and 90s cooking in texas, memphis, 79. these are 10 to 25 degrees above your normal temperatures. in the west a little wet weather in the west, a little mountain snow, as well. one more system makes its way into northern california keeping a wintry feel while all of that warm air is elsewhere in the country right there into the northwest. >>> a very good morning, brian van de graaff here. look at the gorgeous sunrises and the clouds are starting to move o. we will have a bit of a breeze today but the sum will warmus up through the afternoon. we should be well into the 60's. tomorrow will be in the 70's and temperatures will be near 80 degrees for friday and saturday >>> more of america's weather in the next half hour. live in cranston, rhode island, where this was the center of the driving rain in new england. 9 inches from that storm adds to their all-time by the way not only march total. rainiest march ever but the rainiest month ever and we'll be here all morning long. >> we are glad you are there. >>> now to some

front on the northeast and then behind it, you can see dallas, 38 where that front has moved through, memphis, 69 degrees. that's the latest from the fox weather center. >> brian: all right, thank you very much, domenica davis. we are going to take a commercial break. there's so much going on. we've got the a-team in. we're all over the health care story, back in just a moment. host: could switching to geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance? host: did the waltons take way too long to say goodnight? mom: g'night john boy. g'night mary ellen. mary ellen: g'night mama. g'night erin. elizabeth: g'night john boy. jim bob: g'night grandpa. elizabeth: g'night ben. jim bob:'night. elizabeth: g'night jim bob. jim bob: g'night everybody, grandpa: g'night everybody. jim bob: g'night daddy. vo: geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more. >> this weekend in washington it's health care reform as landmark legislation reaches the house tomorrow. caroline shively with the latest on that and other stories. >> hi, brian. the house rules committee is meeting this afternoon hashing out the details t

bit cool in across parts of the plains, only 30 points, kansas city, and for your day, you see 70 in memphis, tomorrow you're dropping about 20, 25 degrees, for that area. all right, guys, we'll send it back to you inside. >> rick, i just want you to see and the rest of america, and the world, to see what i deal with during much of the morning. these guys on their twitter sites, their facebook sites, while we're doing a show and you guys are part of this national survey that has just shown people are doing social media during highly inappropriate times. >> i blame this guy 'cause i was not into any of it before i met him. >> i know. >> and the other day someone asked me in the hallway, do you twitter? >> i was the first person here to twitter unfortunately. >> my middle name is twitter! >> where are most people using social immediate yacht worse. turns out you'd sit down to dinner and have a nice covering with people at dinner, people are jumping up and checking the facebook status and twittering during a meal. dave, do you do that? >> yeah, on friday and saturday nights when i'm preparing f

memphis, tennessee, on the democrats' line. caller: mitchell in miami. host: mitchell, welcome. caller: what happened is, basically we are going to get over this situation, but it is usually always the south for the past 50 + years and it is more or less the conservatives who are basically dixiecrat mentality but the young people are seeing it and little bit different and now they have a chance to totally observe what they have been taught basically on both sides of the aisles, meaning their families, they differ, but they tried to respect and i think the young people have more input in our nation for the future based on what they see their parents have no fully grounds, no grounds totally to be against this new reform which basically is going to be improved in due time, but they will and spite of positive things this particular group focus on cutting their nose to spite their face and also vacate -- claim to be religious and claim to be christian. host: ok, let us take a look of the cause of iraq reconstruction but one of the callers mentioned the wars in iraq and afghanistan.

larry is joining us from memphis on the democrats' line. caller: i don't think these financial regulations go far enough or have enough teeth in them. a lot of these people need to be in jail. host: next, mich.. caller: this is not ken, but joe. a lot of people need to do some reading and find out what is going on. bill clinton's favorite college professor wrote a book called the "tragedy and hope." it makes it clear there is a shadow government running the country. he mentions that it is imported to have an election from time to time so that the public can throw out the rascals without changing the general policy. in other words, we are being confused. they are keeping butter's added to others' throats so that we will not pay attention to what is going on. host: claudia joins us on the independent line from new york. caller: why don't they just reinstate the glass-steagall act? once that was implicit seemed to be a check on all that has been going on with this. the problem, steve, the banking system, they support the candidates. until we g

that copilot flew all the way from seattle, washington, deadheaded on a fedex jet that landed in memphis, all night long flew to get to the duty station to go to work at laguardia in new york. now, the pilot flew from florida up in order to fly on that route. but you had two people in the cockpit, according to the testimony at the last hearing i held -- and this was the national transportation safety board -- you had two people in a cockpit in a regional jet, the captain of which had not slept in a bed, there was no record of him sleeping in a bed. he was in the crew lounge where there is no bed at laguardia airport. the captain hadn't slept in a bed for two days. the copilot hadn't slept in a bed for a day. they had inadequate training with respect to stick shakers and other related issues. and the fact is there are a series of things that have now led us to understand. fatigue is an issue. there is a rule making on fatigue right now going on, and administrator babbitt has sent that to the office of management and budget. that's very important. training is an issue. it's critically impo

the copilot flew from seattle, washington, dead headed on a plane that i believe stopped in memphis, tennessee, and then continued on to new york in order to reach her duty station at laguardia, an all-night long flight. and there's no evidence the night before the flight that either the pilot or the copilot did anything other than stay in the crew lounge. and there's no bed in the crew lounge. for the pilot, it was two nights there is no record of him sleeping in a bed. so you have two pilots who commuted long distances just to get to work without any evidence that they had a night's sleep in a bed prior to the flight that were on the airplane. by the way, if you read the cockpit, the transcript of the cockpit voice recorder, a series of problems existed in that cockpit. there was not a sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet, which is supposed to be the case. there was visiting about careers and a range of things as they were flying through icing conditions, vile alternative of the -- violati sr*e of the regulations the copilot, by the way, it is said was a young woman who worked two job

let us begin with a call from memphis. democrats line. caller: yes, i agree with president obama. we need to have this. we are bringing foreign aid for people who have health care for all of their citizens and we don't have. i was in sudan in 1982 when i was visiting, i got health care for free. i went to a local clinic and hospital. we can all see president obama is trying to do something for all of us. when he helps all of us, he is going to help those who are in business and who have money. we can pay for our health care just by cutting the aid we send to israel because they already have health care and place and we should have hours here, too. i think his ratings are really up. i think everybody will say he is trying to help us and i want to move forward before they try to pick off everyone around him. host: just one fact. you said we can pay for health care just by cutting aid to israel? we spend about $3 billion a year to israel and the cost for health care reform is a bit higher than that. caller: well, $3 billion has been reported. i have seen reports as high as $12 billio

i happen to have given a speech in memphis, tennessee, on saturday and found out that over the eight years w.p.a. was in existence in the state of tennessee, more than 240,000 people were hired. those people built the stadium, the soor, the juvenile center. there's so much that still exists. i want to take the training part one step farther. we need to do targeted training. i come from an area with the best health care in the world. there are a shortage of nurses a shortage of primary care physicians, there are a shortage of technicians, a shortage of orderlies, cooks, everything that you can think of that goes into a hospital or community center, there's a shortage. we have community colleges, we have some of the best educational institutions, why are we not focusing more on filling in the shortages we need? because the jobs are there for them to take. that's what we need to be focusing on, as opposed to summer things that are not going to be helpful. i believe any skill you have can help you, but if we know jobs are available in the health profession, we need to be focusing on heal

trip had also not slept in a bed the night before, commuted from her home in seattle with a stop in memphis to her duty station at laguardia. madam president, i don't know of many jobs, especially those where people's lives are on the line, that these can be done under such stressful circumstances. although not specifically addressed in this underlying bill, the issue of commuting and duty time is but one of the factors that came together to result in this tragedy. working with my colleague, senator schumer, we have advanced legislation that would raise the minimum standards for new commercial pilots. a version of this proposal which was endorsed by the families of flight 3407 has been secured in this underlying legislation. the new standards would increase the minimum flight hours for commercial hires from the current 250 hiewrs to 800 -- 250 hours to 800 hours for copilots. apart from more flight time experience, these new regulations would increase the quality of that training, not just the quantity. the proposal requires the administrator of the f.a.a. to engage in rule making that requ

speaker, i want to thank my friend colleague, the gentleman from memphis, tennessee, mr. corn, for yielding. mr. speaker, 45 years ago on march 7, 1965, josea williams and i led 600 peaceful, nonviolent protestors attempting to march from sell marks alabama to the state capitol in montgomery to dramatize to the world that people of color wanted to register to vote. we left brown chapel a.m.e. churr that much afternoon on a sacred mission, prepared to defy the dictates of man to demonstrate the truth of a higher law. ordinary citizen with extraordinary vision walked shoulder to shoulder, two by two, in a silent, peaceful protest against injustice in american south. we were met on the edmund pettis bridge crossing the alabama river by a sea of blue, alabama state troopers. some were mounted on horseback, but all of them were armed with guns, tear gas, billy clubs, and beyond them were deputized citizens who were waving any weapons they could find on that day. some even had bull whips. then we heard major john clark, "this is an unlawful march. you cannot continue. you have

she flew all night long, dead headed on a fedex plane to memphis, changed and flew to laguardia, all night long. the pilot commuted from florida and commuted from florida to laguardia. you have two people in a cockpit, one from florida that commuted to laguardia and one from seattle that commuted to laguardia. what we now have heard from testimony from the national transportation safety board is the pilot of that airplane had not slept in a bed the two previous nights. the co-pilot had not slept in a bed the previous night. was this crash caused by fatigue? there will never be something that suggests that. but if you were a passenger on an airplane and in the cockpit sat a pilot and co-pilot, neither of whom had slept in a bed the previous night or two nights, would you believe that fatigue was the cause of perhaps a misjudgment in the cockpit? i would. i would. and the question is not can you end all commuting? i don't expect that you can end all commuting. but the question is: does some of this commuting invariably cause fatigue? i believe it does. and how do you begin to address t

so she flew all night long on a plane that stopped in memphis, tennessee, just to get to her duty station. this is a young woman that was making between $20,000 and and $23,000 a year salary. do we really think a young pilot making $20,000 or $23,000 -- which, by the way, raises another question about compensation, low compensation -- but do we really think that person, if that person travels all night is going to get a motel room someplace and have the money to pay for it? i don't think so. so two people in that cockpit flying at night in the winter with icing conditions. we now know that what are supposed to be sterile conditions in the cockpit, speaking only below 10,000 feet, only about what is happening with that airplane, that sterile condition in the cockpit was violated repeatedly, talking about other things, careers and so on. we now know there was a training deficiency with respect to the issues of the stick pusher and the stick shaker which engaged when that icing became significant. we now know that the most wanted list of airline safety provisions and requirements from the --
