Special Report With Bret Baier
FOX News February 4, 2013 6:00pm-7:00pm EST
6:00 pm
what we had 4 minutes of information. >> you did an extraordinarily good job. you are going to hear about that. >> thank you. that's all the time we have. stay tuned for "special report." >> good evening. i am john robert for bret baier this evening. this is a fox news alert. hostage standoff involving a 5-year-old boy has ended in alaba alabama. the child is safe. the man who apparently kidnapped him is dead. get the latest from jonathan serrie live in midland, alabama. we know law enforcement stormed this bunker that he had been keeping this 5-year-old in for a number of days. was he shot dead by police? did he take his own life? >> that is a great question, john, we don't know. law enforcement authorities gave us a play by play but did not take any question as to what happened. they only informed us that the suspect 65-year-old jimmy lee dykes is dead. they had been trying to
6:01 pm
negotiate through out this ordeal which was about to go into a 7th day through out the ordeal. it sounded like negotiations were peaceful. mr. dykes allowing them to supply comfort supplies to the little boy. supplies such as medication, snacks, such as cheez-its and toys such as a red hot wheels car he requested yesterday. but today although they did not elabora elaborate, authorities say the negotiations started to go south and that is when they decided to storm the bunker. listen to what they said at a news conference moments ago. >> at approximately 3:12 this afternoon fbi agents safely recovered the child who has been held hostage for nearly a week. within the past 24-hours negotiations deteriorated and mr. dykes was observed holding a
6:02 pm
gun. at this point fbi agents fearing the child was in eminent danger entered the bunker and rescued the child. the child appears physically unharmed and is being treated at a local hospital. the subject is deceased. >> the standoff began tuesday afternoon, nearly 7 days ago in the late afternoon. a gunman boarded the school bus in this neighborhood. law enforcement authorities say jimmy lee dykes the suspect was demanding hostages. the driver on that bus tried to resist him standing between the gunman and the students, and that is when he was shot. the driver was fatally wounded and the driver took one of the hostages that 5-year-old boy to an under ground bunker in in his
6:03 pm
backyard. the bunker by all accounts was well stocked for food. this man was ready for the long hall. we don't know an exact motive but residents say jimmy lee dykes harbored strong anti government views and seemed paranoid would sometimes brandish a weapon if people got too close to his property. one neighbor said he went so far to beat to death her dog with a led pipe when that dog ventured on to the property. jimmy lee dykes was a ticking time bomb and they are not surprised that he resorted to violence. now law enforcement authorities reporting that jimmy lee dykes is dead the man accused of holding the boy hostage for nearly 7 days the boy is okay. he is at a hospital being checked out. >> you were reporting there was a loud explosion before the
6:04 pm
operation took place. was that them gaining entry to the under ground bunker? was it a flash grenade to try to stun jimmy dykes as they tried to set out the -- >> law enforcement haven't confirmed it but it is entirely possible. people across the street heard a loud bang. at the time we couldn't tell if it was an explosion, gun fire or a truck door shutting, but it happened at the time that all of this was unfolding. most likely related to these events of them breaching the compound and getting them into the bunker and rescuing this little boy. >> jonathan serrie in alabama. we will get back to you if there are more details. the fbi is promising that in the next few hours. >> tax hike to high income earners. he may be going to the well again. the president insists he needs more money to reduce the deficit
6:05 pm
and will likely focus on a familiar target. white house correspondent wendell goaler tells us how that is going over. >> as the president headed to minnesota to talk about gun violence, republicans on capitol hill tried to keep the nation's attention on fiscal matters. >> we are having trouble in large part because spending is a problem. it is what is chasing jobs overseas and causing much anxiety about our future. >> sunday in a presuper bowl interview with cbs's scott kelly mr. obama said this year's tax changes shouldn't be the last. >> there is no doubt we need additional revenue coupled with smart spending reductions in order to bring down the deficit. he is not talking raising rates but closing loopholes especially those making money from investment pay a lower tax rate than income salaried or hourly wage earn ers. >> the average person doesn't
6:06 pm
have access to cayman island reports. they don't have access to interest income where they pay a much lower rate on billions of dollars they have earned. >> mr. obama says the only way to continue investing in education research and development and still reverse the deficit is with a combination of spending cuts and additional revenues. republicans said the government got additional revenue with last year's tax agreement which raised tax rates on families making more than 450,000 a year and limited or phased out deductions for income over 300,000. in a statement john boehner said any tax loopholes we close should be used to lower rates for all taxpayers so we can be more xret ticompetitive and cree jobs. he reminded the whitous is missing the monday deadline for submitting a budget. >> it is going to be late. some say it could be as long as a month late. i think that's too bad. our economy could use some
6:07 pm
presidential leadership right now. >> house republicans want to force the president to submit a budget that would balance in 10 years. >> they hope to pass it in march unless they come up with a deficit reduction agreement before that. it would hurt readiness maintenance and training and make it difficult for the u.s. to respond to global crises. >> it would bite hard no question. wendell, thanks. >> it's not the kind of news wall street was looking for today. stocks had the worst day of the year. the dow dropped 130 points s&p lost 17 the nasdaq lost 40. president obama turned up the volume on the gun control members today in minnesota where hunting and gun ownership is big business. in an attempt components like the nra the president took his message directly to the people. mike emanuel has the story.
6:08 pm
>> president obama went to minneapolis for what he hopes to be common sense proposals. he choose minneapolis to spotlight the steps he has taken. >> this city launched a series of youth initiatives that reduced the number of young people injured by guns by 40 percent. >> flanked by police officers in uniform mr. obama asked the american people to press congress to take action. >> we don't have to agree on everything to agree it's time to do something. the vast majority of americans, including a majority of gun owners sport requiupport requir background checks for any one buying a gun. >> it will run into a registry of law abiding people. >> it is a fraud to call universal. it is never going to be universal. the criminals aren't going to comply with it. >> the super bowl ad for mayors
6:09 pm
against illegal guns funded in part by michael bloomberg goes after the nra for being for universal background checks before they were goiagainst the. >> i finally become convinced after fight to go get the mental records computerized for 20-years and watching the mental health lobby, the hippa laws and the ama oppose it. i don't think it's going to happen. >> a big question has been how far senate majority leader harry reid would be willing to go. read said he will move a bill in the senate but has a pro gun right voting records. >> i didn't vote for the assault weapons last time because it didn't make sense. i will take a look at it. we need to look at federal traffic. every one acknowledges that they do background check. >> today press secretary jay
6:10 pm
carney says mr. obama enjoyed competing with friends at camp david. >> a bipartisan group of house lawmakers are introducing a bill making firearms trafficking a federal crime it would impose straw purchasers who buy guns for convicted felons and others not allowed to buy them themselves. not sure how far they will go with the president's proposal. >> talk more about this. mike emanuel thank you. >> the president said he is for women in combat and gays in the boy scouts. mr. obama says women are already serving in combat as a practical matter and feels gays and lesbians should have the same access to opportunities like scouting that everyone else has. outgoing defense secretary leon panetta over the weekend said iran has not yet made a decision to develop a nuclear weapon. former official with the nuclear watchdog agency says iran masy

6:20 pm
>> a politically polarized washington is making noise about a bipartisan effort to fix the nation's immigration system. we are going to talk about that tonight with political analyst karl rove and joe troupe. immigration ended on the skap heap back in 2007. what that i cans it this time around any different? can this actually get done? >> i think it can get done this time. there are a lot of pitfalls but there are a bunch of differences, too. democrats believe the nation is ready for this. polls are showing 77 percent of americans want some kind of immigration reform big immigration reform package out there. the other thing that is different we have someone like marco rubio who has the ability hopefully to pull both
6:21 pm
traditional republicans as well as tea party republicans together on this issue. >> karl does rubio from the power to unite the repub dlican party? it is fractured and put an issue like immigration with pitfalls it may be tough to pull it together. >> it does. it will be. if there's someone that can do it it's marco rubio. he's the best communicator since ronald reagan. i have been surprised the respectful hearing he's had among many voices who in 2007 were strongly opposed to immigration reform. i think it's a sign of the persuasion that he brings to this cause and also i think there is a growing recognition by republicans that want to get this issue behind them so they can begin to make inroads among latinos on the issue of jobs opportunity and values. this is a conservative and entrepreneurially minded part of our electorate and republicans are believing to think we can
6:22 pm
solve this issue in conformity with our principals we can make gains with latino voters. >> when we look at the proposal of the gang of 8 and the president's proposal on the purpo surface they seem similar. what do you think in the details could bog the process down? >> a lot could. this is a very complex issue having been involved in the previous effort and immigration reform. there are so many things that impact other things. it is very complicated. if you look at it there's four big areas of potential disagreement here. the gang of 8 said we democrats republicans believe there ought to be operational control of the border, border security first before these other provisions ca kick in and there ought to be verifiable metrics about what constitutes operational control. the president did not have a similar emphasis. the question is are we going to have border security first. second the gang of 8 democrat and republican said we are in favor of robust worker programs. president obama's remarks in las
6:23 pm
vegas did not mention the guest worker program at all. in 2007 he voted for the union backed amendments to get the guest worker program that helped contribute to immigration reform. the third issue, and this is a big one, the speed and difficulty of a path to agreed and eventually citizenship for any of the undocumented aliens who want to go down that path. the gang of 8 interestingly enough democrat and republican said we want solar more difficult. the president's body language not a specific proposal because he hasn't offered one but the body language sounds like faster and easier. here's the one that is not being paid much attention to right now but there's an underlying battle between if you will roughly business community especially high-tech and other groups, particularly the catholic church over how much immigration should be based upon skill and merit with the business community saying look, if you graduate from american university with
6:24 pm
science or technology or engineering or math degree we ought to fast track you for a green card, and other groups who favor family reunification. today over 80 percent of the people who get a green card are given a green card on the basis of family reunification and just over 10 percent get a green card based on skill and merit. >> you think it concerns that karl raised and they want it to apply to bisexual gay and transgender individuals. >> i agree with the four karl outlined. you are right the president wants protection for gay, lesbian lgbt couples and that could de rail the whole thing for many republicans. so that is a 5th one. but here's the thing that i think is working. both parties i think have reasons -- i mean, to look back
6:25 pm
at the failures, the guessworker program that derailed it. people like tom harkin senator who voted against it last time with obama because of guessworker. the whole thing went out the window. each side has to figure out how to compromise. it's the failures of the past that may push this forward to a win this time and get some reform done. >> how do you think this is going to play into 2016. marco rubio is someone who is talked about as being a candidate for president on the republican side. he has publicly said he believes the future of the republican party lies in immigration reform. if you look at the changing demographics do republicans have any other choice but to go for some sort of immigration reform if they want to have any kind of hope if 2016 if not 2014. >> republicans are going to be best off voting for the right bill. if you take for example
6:26 pm
attitudes in latino community in border security this idea of border security first has a great deal of resonance in the latino community. particularly here in the state of texas where the latino communities along the border know how important it is to get the border secured. it will benefit both parties president obama will get the achievement he fail to do deliver on in the first term republicans will be able to get the bill. a bad bill will divide the country and will not get the job done. >> joe, 10 percent of voters in the 2012 election in november were hispanic. the republican party wants to make inroads among hispanics. president bush did well with hispanic voters. president obama won overwhelmingly in november. if democrats can own the immigration reform issue, does that bowed well with hispanic voters for the next decade? >> i think rubio was right when he said the immigration reform and where the republicans come down on it and how they play it
6:27 pm
could be the entire future of the party right now. obama can basically push hard. dem crass can pu-- democrats ca hard. that's what many on the left want them to do. i think the republicans give obama cover. anything he fails to get is because of the republicans who are in transit on the right. there are so many republicans who don't want any kind of path to citizenship. i do believe this is important. rubio is a very important player. can he pull the party together? i think if he can we are going to get there. >> always great to get your perspective on these issues. joe trippi, karl rove, thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having us. >> we are for the gone with mr. roe. democrats are going after each other. the grapevine next. she knows you like no one else.

oo if we are going to be serious about reducing our deficit can we have smart spending cuts, can we reform our healthcare programs in particular. we spend a lot more on healthcare than every other country does and we don't get better outcomes. can we close loopholes and deductions that folks who are well connected and have a lot of accountants and lawyers can take advantage of so they end up paying lower rates than bus driver or cop. >> president obama in his super bowl interview saying he wants more money from wealthy americans to help the government. i have juan williams columnist with the hill and charles krauthammer. the president says, charles, elimination of waste in washington and lower revenues. >> it's quite a concession. he says there's still some waste in government.
6:40 pm
they spend 3.6 trillion a year. i like the way he talks about cutting expenditures on medical expenses which is one of the great sources of our deficit. the fact is that 2300 pages of obama care there is nothing about what is probably the single greatest cause of inflation in medical costs in the u.s. the reason it is higher in this country the deep tort reform. we have an insane malpractice system that anybody in practice will tell you is devastating. one study in massachusetts show a quarter of all procedures referrals and tests are put in place not for medical reasons but out of the fear of being sued. it is a huge source of waste. there wasn't a word about it in the bill o'reilly bam ma passed. why? because their trial lawyers were big contributors to the democrats. if you wanted to start to cut that's where you could start. >> is the president going to get
6:41 pm
more money out of republicans in congress? >> i think if he is going to get it he has to get it now. the dow was up today it wasn't doing so great. the fact is near historical levels right now it has been a tremendous surge. i think the public opinion about the president his approval ratings are now ore 50 percent regularly. so he has political capital suspense to quote george w. bush after he was re-elected. this is the time. i think there's increasing argument that goes and the president put it in these terms in that interview that you have got to have smart cuts. you need to add revenues but you combine it with smart cuts because you want the economy to grow. growth is the key here. if you believe in cutting the budget that you would prompt growth that's one thing. that's an argument some republicans think. the wider argument the one i think has traction in the country you have to have some cuts but you have to make investments in terms of education, research infrastructure the like in order
6:42 pm
the' american economy to boom. >> that republican majority in the house is that going to be the fire wall against any increase in revenues here through closing loopholes or raising taxes again? >> i wouldn't count on it. republicans basically gave up on their last remaining principle which was tax cuts. they believe lower taxes spur growth. they don't believe that as much as they said they do. most republicans are looking at the president through the wrong lens. this is not an economic argument he is making. he doesn't have a deep crown in economics. this is about income equality. he reserved the most passionate remarks in the interview for the loopholes in the way rich people are sneaking out of paying their fair share. that is exactly what this is really about. the most amusing moment i thought in the whole thing is when he calls for reform in a way we spend money on healthcare. i refer you back to the speech of joint session of congress
6:43 pm
almost four years ago when he explained that exact idea as the justification for obama care. we already had that debate. >> this is basically concession that didn't work. >> the president talked in that interview about gays in the boy scouts. he has been debating on this issue now he is going it rapidly. this is what he said about whether or not to allow gays and lesbians. >> boy scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. i think that nobody should be barred for that. >> nobody should be barred from that. charles do you agree? >> if he is expressing an opinion as a citizen that's okay. but one of the sacred things about american -- as our political system is we have a very strong independent civil society. that means that churches, associations, groups like the boy scouts are independent and
6:44 pm
they stand soas sort of a sourc of resistance between the citizen and state. and that ought to be left alone. the president ought not really be weighing in. you want to leave this let civil society work it out in ways that are not coercive. you want to express an opinion okay, but implying against the implications of the government or the law ought to step in i think is really against our way of -- our constitutional way. >> any problems with that? >> ass an individual people are concerns and anxieties about the idea of gay scout leaders and whether or not they would be promulgating gay sexual behavior among these young men. it is appropriate. this is what i didn't understand. seems to me that presidents of all eras have had to speak to moral issues in the country and especially when it comes to equal rights. that is how we make progress as an american. if you have a leader absent on the critical moral issues of the
6:45 pm
day it would be legitimate. >> it is a debate as juan said not whether to have gays but having gay leaders. thanks to president obama who cast it as a pure moral decision. if you are a big got you are against gay people you are against this. if you are for gay tepeople you are for it. who cares. weigh ought to have room in the society for groups like boy scouts to have an opinion they want on gays. >> tucker, in addition to which you have people inside who are pressuring saying they want opportunity to be in the scouts. >> $16 trillion in debt. the president is wasting time -- >> what's wrong with the president speak to go this critical issue. >> let the scouts work it out internally. it's beyond the moral issue. if you make it into a civil rights issue then you are inviting the law and coercion.
6:46 pm
that's a big problem. let the sil socieews -- civil society work it out on their own. they will. they always have. >> the president talks guns in one of the nation's big hunting state. we will be right back.

>> everybody is listening to keep the pressure on your members of congress to do the right thing. ask them if they support common sensory forms like requiring universal background checks or restoring the ban on military style all the wssault weapons a capacity magazines. tell them there's no legislation

to eliminate all guns. there's no legislation being proposed to support the second amendment. >> tpresident obama in minneapolis minnesota today urging voters to run around people like the nra and go straight to the members of congress they want gun control. out of the laundry list what do you think he will get done? >> i think anybody who knows anything about this laughs. no sane person believes that a universal registration which is in effect what this is, by the way, of the government making a list of any one who has a gun would prevent any one from getting a gun. there are 100 million high capacity magazines 40 in circulation for this country. someone needs to explain in clear language asking why asking permission to get a duck gun for my 16-year-old is a gun crime.

about. that would never happen. >> it's not going to happen here. australia had 7 percent had guns. here the number is somewhere around 50 percent of households. we have a tradition and we have a second amendment you can't do it. but the fact is if you are thinking it will make a difference by some what slowing the increase number of guns there are 300 billion floating around in the country today. they are going to remain untouched because we have a second amendment. it will take 100 years to degrade that stockpile. that means it's not requestigoi have any effect on homicides. that was shown i am pircally by the fact that we passed a pretty quote-unquote assault weapons ban in the mid 90s it lasted a decade and had no discernible impact. >> i see at a town hall meeting that congressman paul brown had in the tenth district in

Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid star and undisputedly the second-best player in the world, has opened up about his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson in an interview with CNN, describing the Scot as "like a father" and declaring that he misses the Old Trafford chief.
Ronaldo also went on to suggest that the United manager was approaching retirement age and that Ferguson's tough nature was 'not good for his heart'.
The Portugal winger went on to also talk about his own life as a father, the challenges of changing nappies and his favourite parental task.
Ronaldo on Sir Alex Ferguson
Ronaldo: He's a fantastic person. A human person. He taught me many things. Like I said before, he's like a father in football, because he taught me many things. I really miss him because I have a great relationship with him.
Pedro: How mean can he get, how tough can he get?
Ronaldo: Very tough. I think sometimes he cannot be like that because, how old is he? 70? It's not good for his heart. He's still tough, strong, I remember him the first time I saw him he was with the same power.
Ronaldo on fatherhood and family
Pedro: This is a picture of your mother, your son and more people close to you, your girlfriend as well at the Santiago Bernabeu. I have to ask you about being a father. How's Cristiano, the father?
Ronaldo: I think I'm not bad. I still learn, but I think it's the best thing in life to have a kid.
Pedro: How old is he now?
Ronaldo: Two. And I think it's, it's like a dream. To wake up in the morning and to see him and say "daddy daddy" it's like a feeling like if you really have a kid, who will know what I'm talking about. It's great. I love it.
Pedro: How involved do you get? Honestly… how many diapers have you changed?
Ronaldo: I've changed a few.
Pedro: I've never changed any, how would you describe it?
Ronaldo: Not my real challenge to change diapers and I really do not like a lot, but I change a few ones. It's normal I'm not crazy to do that. I prefer doing other things.
Pedro: I'm sure you do, like what?
Ronaldo: To give him a shower, it's much easier. To put shampoo and conditioner it's much easier and more fun.

A £350,000 cash injection will see 100 young first-time mums in Bury helped to give their babies the very best start in life.
From October, mums aged 20 and younger will be supported from early pregnancy until their child's second birthday by a team of specially-trained nurses.
The nurses will visit parents at home to advise on relationships, wellbeing, confidence, interacting with their child, future aspirations, smoking during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) initiative aims to prepare young people for parenthood's challenges to ensure their baby has the best start in life and will achieve his or her potential.
NHS England's Greater Manchester Team has provided the funding to Bury Community Services, part of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.
The nursing team will be integrated with Bury Community Services' existing child and family teams, and work closely with Bury Council's children's services.
Wendy Thompson, Pennine Care's senior manager for Children and Health Improvement in Bury, said: "Evidence shows that providing the right emotional and practical support early on can improve the health and social outcomes for young parents and ensure a solid foundation for their baby's future development.
"Successful delivery of the programme will rely on the team working in an integrated way with other health and social care professionals.
"I look forward to this real opportunity to improve the health and wellbeing of future gen-erations."
Lesley Jones, director of public health for Bury, said: "Providing babies with the best possible start in life is the most important thing we can do to secure a positive future as children grow up and become adults."
Following the launch, young mums who are eligible will be informed of the programme by their GP or midwife as part of their early ante-natal care. Enrolment is voluntary.
Dr Raj Patel, medical director for Greater Manchester, added: "Investment in services for pregnancy and in the first years of life has been shown to transform the life chances of children."

TOMORROW'S entrepreneurs have been set on the right path after a briefing from BBC Breakfast presenter Steph McGovern.
The TV journalist was invited to Nelson and Colne College to give an insight into business reporting for A Level and vocational business students.
Steph is an award winning business presenter for the BBC, who has been working in financial journalism for more than 10 years.
Her job for the BBC Breakfast team sees Steph travel all over the UK to cover economic and business news.
A Nelson and Colne College spokesman said: "The students were thoroughly entertained by Steph's presentation.
"She talked about her early career in engineering, where she managed to save Black & Decker over £1million on a design she created for their Leaf Hog product, winning her the award for Young Engineer for Britain.
"She went on to inform the students how she used her engineering and scientific knowledge, coupled with tenacity and good fortune to land her first broadcasting jobs, which helped her to get to where she is today."
A Level student Ellis Lynch added: "I got a great insight into the lifestyle of a BBC reporter and what goes on behind-the-scenes, which we would never normally hear about.
"We discussed many things, from the performance of high street businesses to getting bitten by a pig while on location!"

With warm weather already here in some parts of the Southwest, and with disposable water bottles on their way out from a number of national parks, what's the best way to stay hydrated in the parks?
That's an easy question to answer: either resort to a hydration bladder in your pack, or invest in a reuseable water bottle or two.
How best to carry tap water with you gained more than a little attention earlier this year courtesy of the move to ban the sale of disposable water bottles at Grand Canyon National Park. Zion and Hawaii Volcanoes national parks already had headed down that path, and Canyonlands and Arches national parks in Utah are said to be going that way, too.
Why the ban? It's a bid to reduce waste. At Grand Canyon, officials believe the ban will eliminate the source of 20 percent of the park's "waste stream" and 30 percent of its recyclables.
Of course, the ban is only on the "sale" of disposable water bottles. You won't be fined for bringing your own disposable water bottle into the park, or using your soda bottle to carry water. Still, in the name of reducing waste and encouraging sustainability, this is a step in the right direction.
What will this cost you? Pricing for reusable bottles runs the gamut, from less than $3.50 at the visitor center in Zion National Park all the way upwards of $25 for a 700-milliliter insulated, stainless steel bottle from MiiR that is said to keep "cold things cold" for 24 hours, something that'd be appreciated when you reach Phantom Ranch at the floor of Grand Canyon and the temperature is 120 degrees.
The market offers quite a few bottling options, in steel, hard plastic, and soft plastic. There are plastic hydration bladders you stuff into your pack, soft plastic bottles you can also stuff into your pack or, in the case of Vapur, clip onto your belt or pack with the integrated carabiner clip. And, of course, there are the hard plastic bottles, such as Nalgene bottles, that you can slip into your pack as well.
Where you put your money depends on whether your focus is simply on day hiking, or if you plan on extended backpacking treks. Obviously, the more need you see for carrying water might encourage a more significant investment in bottling.
And where you'll be carrying that vessel is something to consider, too. Overnighting in the backcountry and planning to relax around a campfire? Stainless steel bottles won't melt if a wayward cinder lands on them...but they are heavier.
Here's a look at some of the choices out there:
* Vapur
Dubbed by its creators as "the anti-bottle," the brand new Element soft plastic container ($11.99 for a .7-liter model, $13.99 for a liter) is a competitor to the Softbottle from Platypus.
Selling points for Vapur: On some models there's an integrated clip on the side that you can afix to your belt or a loop on your pack. The Element, expected to be available in late March, has the clip integrated into the cap. When empty the 'bottle' can be folded or rolled up and stuffed out of the way; it's dishwaster safe; you can freeze it and use it either as an ice pack or to enjoy ice-cold water on your way down the South Kaibab Trail at the Grand Canyon; no BPA, and; the 3-ply nylon-poleythelene layering has anti-microbial inhibitors. Vapur has several other options in its line, including the "Artist Series" that offers bold designs.
Potential low points: The carabiner clip is made from plastic, so durability could be an issue; the flip-top cap on the Element requires, unless you're incredibly dexturous, two hands to open, and then you face a hard-plastic spout. You can, however, purchase additional caps, including one version that features a push-pull spout; cleaning might be an issue; could be difficult to fill out in the field if you use a water filter.
As noted, you can put this into your dishwasher, inverted over two prongs, but will this ensure cleaning to the bottom of the bottle? And then there's the drying time: you invert the bottle on the counter and let gravity and airflow do the job. (I've gotten around this with similar containers by using my ski-boot drier...) Finally, no insulating ability.
* Platypus
An arm of Cascade Designs, the Platypus makes a range of soft plastic bottles, from the aptly named Softbottles ($7.95-$11.95 for half-liter version, depending on cap) to the plusBottle, ($16.95) a one-liter vessel. In short, they are similar in theory to the Vapur products: a soft plastic container with a push-pull spout on the top.
Selling points for Platypus: No BPA went into their construction; proprietary "Slimeguard" also lends anti-microbial benefits for the plusBottle, which also has an integrated "hang loop" for affixing to your pack.
A big brother to the Softbottle, though not quite as soft, pliable, and durable as the plusBottle, is the Platy Bottle ($12.95), which carries 2 liters. You can customize your Softbottle with a variety of drinking spouts. (The 1-liter plusBottle is pricier than the Platy Bottle due to its Slimeguard and slightly more pliable plastic.)
All of these "bottles" can withstand boiling and freezing (just be sure to leave a little space for expansion when freezing).
Potential low points: Similar to those for Vapur when it comes to cleaning, drying, refilling in the field, melting if you get it too close to hot embers. Also not insulating.
* MiiR
Cast from BPA-free, 18/8 stainless steel, these canisters pack a bit more heft than the soft plastic competitors, weighing in at 27 ounces for an 800 ml version.
Selling points for MiiR: Go with an insulated model ($23 for a 500-ml model, $25 for 700 ml) and you can keep hot beverages hot for up to eight hours, and cold beverages cold for up to 24 hours. Don't care about insulating your drink? The 600 ml uninsulated version retails for $18.
These definitely will be more durable than a soft plastic vessel. Plus, the wider mouth opening -- 1.4 inches across -- funnels more water into your mouth more quickly than some of the competition. The caps also are designed with fewer threads so it only takes one revolution to open/close. And steel won't absorb flavors. These bottles come in a range of sizes, so you likely can zero in on the one that fits best in your pack.
MiiR also has a program through which $1 of your bottle's purchase goes to provide clean water for one person for one year.
Potential low points: While more durable than soft plastic, these are also bulkier and weigh more. While some models are top-rack safe for dishwashers, the company recommends hand-washing.
These folks have been making 18/8 stainless steel, BPA-free bottles since 2004. In their catalog is a wide array of bottles (MSRP $14.95-$32.95), from 5-ounce baby bottles complete with nipples to wide-mouth 64-ounce containers that you can screw some water filters right onto for easy filling in the field.
Selling points for Klean Kanteen: Self-described as the pioneer in stainless steel drinking bottles, these folks have a nice variety of vessels -- 12-ounce, 18-ounce, 27-ounce, 40-ounce, even all the way up to 64-ounce, a size you best have a canoe, kayak, or vehicle to carry it in.
Even better, their "Wide" series has an opening wide enough and with threads that will accommodate most backcountry water filters without the need for a special adapter. They make insulated models, as well. Also, stainless steel is not known for absorbing flavors from their contents.
The folks at Klean Kanteen dedicate 1 percent of their gross annual sales to the 1% For the Planet program that helps support non-profit programs such as the Breast Cancer Fund, the Buffalo Field Campaign, and NatureBridge.
Potential low points: Well, for starters, these bottles are heavier than their plastic brethren. And they're not pliable for squeezing into a pack. Though pricier than plastic competitors...they'll also last longer.
Both the MiiR and Klean Kanteen bottles also allow some sort of personalization of your bottles through the use of "skins," so no need to be in the backcountry confused over which stainless steel bottle has your germs on it.
Getting That Water Safe To Drink
It has been beaten into backcountry wanderers: Don't drink untreated water, as you don't know what lurks within.
So what do you do? Water filters are preferred by many. There are pump filters, such as MSR's Waterworks, a model I've used for the past decade, and the more recent sterilizing wands, such as those made by SteriPEN. And the folks at Camelbak have even come out with a bottle that has a UV-emitting cap to kill whatever nasties you might scoop up while aiming to quench your thirst, though with an MSRP of $99 that might be a bit much for many.
In his gear book, The Ultimate Hiker's Gear Guide, Andrew Skurka is a fan of chlorine dioxide purifiers, such as Aquamira drops, which kill most any bugs you might scoop up. While this concoction must be mixed up five minutes before dumping it into your water bottle, the drops are much lighter to carry than a water filter.
However, you have to wait 15-30 minutes to kill giardia, and up to four hours to wipe out Cryptosporidium, says Mr. Skurka. As a result, a backup such as the SteriPEN is a good addition to your pack that uses UV rays to kill everything, including Cryptosporidium.
And while Mr. Skurka prefers stainless steel or hard-plastic bottles, there is one benefit to a soft-plastic bottle: They can double as pillows, he tells us in his book. "Fill the bottles three-quarters full with air and water, and then put them inside a stuff sack with some extra clothing," he writes.

The following information came from Tim Sumner of the new website Liberty Rocks and 911 Families for a Safe and Strong America. He's done some great research looking into the sponsors of the 'Today, I am a Muslim, too' rally in New York to protest the entirely sensible Homeland Security Committee hearings on domestic radicalization of the American Muslim community.
Hardcore leftists were behind yesterday's 'Today, I am a Muslim, TOO' rally in NYC. Who said so? They did, on video, before the rally and were caught on tape at it. At 2:45 in on this video you find stopislamophobia.org among the leftist at yesterday's rally. It is further evidence of the Red-Green Coalition, Leftists and Islamists working together here in America. But hey, we knew it all along.

On the video promo (viewed a mere 88 times so far), the list streaks by in about two seconds beginning at 0:43 in.

Funny thing, that list left out a main player, Elaine Brower of the Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) where Bill Ayers is a central figure in the "Movement." The following is from this morning's New York Post: "Peter King himself is throwing gasoline on an already existing fire," said Elaine Brower, a member of the Coalition to Stop Islamophobia. "This will result in killing too many people in the name of national security. How can an elected official justify such a witch hunt?"
Let's see who's behind this new Coalition to Stop Islamophobia–

- American Muslims for Palestine
- Delaware Valley Veterans for America

The last group are hardcore antiwar activists, including former "Republican" candidate for Congress (NM-3) Adam Kokesh who lost in the primary, and mostly phony veterans.

Bill Ayers was part of a "Resisting Endless War" panel with Elaine Brower and Tom Good (NLN Editor). The panel was part of the Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) Convergence in Chicago." (In addition, the Annenberg Public Policy Center's Factcheck.org did a Q&A on the Ground Zero Mosque issue that reads like a press release from the office of Imam Rauf.)
For more about Elaine Brower and her radicalism, look at her article, "Kicking Some Serious Ass In The Nation's Capitol" on the World Can't Wait website (and for that matter, check out her complete oeuvre). It features the following photograph; the filename is 'Elaine-in-cage.' We can assume pretty safely that the photo captures the author, dressed up like a Gitmo inmate. Classy.

Acton mom gets 8 to 10 years for killing son
An long-troubled Acton woman pleaded guilty to killing her own son in a heartbreaking case of child abuse.
"This is a sad, tragic crime, of a defenseless little boy killed by his own mother," Middlesex Superior County Judge Maureen Hogan said upon accepting Christine Hancock's involuntary manslaughter guilty plea. "She did not intend to kill her son, but she acted wantonly and recklessly, delivering blows that caused his death."

I think your poetry is spare, precise, beautiful. In one or two places the word used in your translation isn't quite right I think, but the overall impression conjures up wintery light, ice and snow, and cold numbed feelings gently warming the soul. I love it.
Thank you!
It's hard to find the right words with translation but I hope they are understandable!
Thakn you for your comment! :-)
Thank you so much for enlarging the font - this was well worth the wait to read! I enjoyed this immensely and thought your dramatic page pauses [your title or beginning of the poem on the bottom of the previous page] was 'anticipation' provoking...I voted and kept...Paula
What you have written is very well done. Page to page editing should be done to make your book easier to read. Try using the backspace key to eliminate unwanted pages and to tighten up each poem. Half of your page count could be eliminated making it more attractive to read. I will vote for your work for content but not for layout./joeparente./Read "WHITE DOWN" I had lots of problems until i figured out the editing process./joe
I really enjoy the poetry found in this book. You have quite a few small writes that seem somewhat similar, yet unique just like the flecks of snow right before release from cloud. Your poetry takes on the configuration of telling a tale almost . Almost every piece in your book relates directly with winter, my favorite season, and I love it. They're almost the heart's relief effort, or so they seem. Great stuff. :)
I would really like to read your book, but the font is very small. You may want to make the font larger for the visually impaired.
Please, let me know how can I edit it, without removing it from the contest?
Do I have to delete the file and then upload again or?
I am sorry I didn't know how it will look like. It is my first books uploaded here and it is new to me... :-/

Angela Ciresi, a teacher in her second year at Clearwater's Coachman Fundamental Middle School, has been awarded a Math Hero award from MathMovesU, a national initiative from Raytheon Co. Ciresi is one of 31 teachers across the United States to receive a $2,500 award and a matching $2,500 grant for her school.
Since the start of the program in late 2005, Raytheon's MathMovesU has awarded $2-million to students, teachers and schools nationwide.
Ciresi, a Palm Harbor resident, graduated in 2006 from St. Petersburg College with a bachelor's degree in mathematics education.
Senior Girl Scouts earn highest award
Senior Girl Scout Troop 1381, established in 1996, recently received Girl Scouting's highest accolade, the Gold Award, for creating a library at Clearwater's Grace House, a shelter for homeless families with children. The Senior Scouts solicited book donations, stocked the library with more than 2,000 books, and built, painted and installed shelving units.
The troop is made up of Katie Marshall, Devon Holder and Kanyon McLean, who all attend the University of Florida; Kelsey Smith, a student at the University of Central Florida; Devon Blackburn, who attends St. Petersburg College; and Amanda Sieradzki, a senior at Seminole High with future college plans.
The goal of their project was not only to fulfill a need at Grace House for a library but also to promote literacy.
Oldsmar again holds Tree City USA title
For the ninth consecutive year, Oldsmar has been named a Tree City USA Community by the Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to community forestry and for demonstrating progress in its community forestry program in the areas of tree planting and maintenance, recycling and street tree planting and pruning.
Oldsmar has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community: having a tree board department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance.
"A community, its elected officials and its citizens that provide needed care for its trees deserve recognition and thanks," said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. "They recognize that trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our cities and towns, providing environmental and economical benefits.
"Trees moderate climate, conserve water and provide habitat for wildlife. Trees in urban areas reduce the heat island caused by pavement and buildings. Properly placed trees can increase property values. Communities that are recognized with a Tree City USA designation and Growth Award go to great lengths to plant and care for the community forest."
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and USDA Forest Service.

I think its a cool idea and it made me think what the Pacers could trademark if anything.
Fear the Deer, the NBA and the law
By Don Walker of the Journal Sentinel
Nov. 12, 2010 |(6) Comments
The catchphrase "Fear the Deer," has been hugely popular for the Milwaukee Bucks and its fans since it emerged last season.
The slogan is thought to have originated with ESPN's Scott Van Pelt on a SportsCenter broadcast, but other versions of how it came to be have surfaced. In any event, the phrase has become a hashtag on Twitter, gets mentioned often on Facebook and generally is the go-to rallying cry for Bucks fans.
The NBA and the Milwaukee Bucks have taken notice, too. Late last season, the NBA, at the request of the Bucks, filed for trademark rights with the U.S. Patent Office. This is routine, according to Mike Bass, senior vice president for marketing and communications at the NBA. Other teams have made similar requests.
That application is pending, Bass said.
Having taken that step, Bass said no one can use the phrase for commercial purposes without the permission of the Bucks and the NBA. If they did, it would be infringing on trademark rights, he said.

Artifex Pereo have debuted a brand new music video for their song, "To Listen And Say Nothing." The track is taken from the band's upcoming debut full-length album, Time In Place, which is due out on May 27 via Tooth And Nail Records. Pre-orders are available for purchase now. Check out the video and what drummer Cory Eaves had to say about it below.
Additionally, the band have already premiered two singles from Time In Place: "Apeiron" (which premiered on AltPress) and "Hands of Penance." Check them out and let us know what you think!
"This being our first video and our first interaction with a director, we weren't really sure what to expect going in. Our band has always been heavily rooted in our DIY efforts, so we're always a little weary about bringing in an outside perspective into our tightly knit circle. We knew that we wanted a video that told the story of the song itself, and not be purely performance based. Going off of Nate's prior works, namely the videos he's done for Listener, we knew he could accomplish that for us. Nate made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. He put us into a professional and laid back atmosphere and let us do what we do, and he took care of the rest. We couldn't be more pleased with his work or with the outcome of the video."

SKU Overload – or- Reissuing In A Downward Spiral
Have you noticed on the shelves of your local Best Buy or Fry's
multiple versions of the same anime? I have, and I've noticed the same
duplication on online listings too, and well, it's beginning to strike
me as excessive for a lot of reasons. Now, reissues have their place
when something has sold out and has become hard to find, but when you
see the old version right next to the new version, well, why there is
already a new version? Ever since the distance between singles and
boxsetting seemed to drop to under a year, it's seemed like a
questionable tactic as it's punitive towards your early adopters and
towards the retailers (who now have to ship the old, more expensive
version back to the distributor,) but a lot of companies are still
doing the exact same thing today, only with different boxset editions.
The differences aren't that notable either. Sure, the MSRP
(manufacturer's suggested retail price,) is almost always lower on the
newer set, but that's often offset by the fact the original editions
often start to see significant mark downs, especially for online
buyers. For example, it's cheaper to buy the original Gunslinger Girl
TV series in it's reissued singles from rightstuf.com than it is to buy the
first reissue of the series as a boxset, let alone the second reissue.
It's further confused by the fact that atleast for FUNimation, the
older editions for a lot of their back-catalog are on more discs than
their later reprints. One of many examples of this is Welcome to the
NHK – the original half season sets were 3 discs each, now for the
complete boxset, the whole series is jammed on to 4. Now, that shift
doesn't mean extras or audio/video quality were necessarily
jeopardized (though, it's no Criterion or Super-Bit release,) but it does mean that you could end up paying more money
for less discs than by getting the old release to be on clearance.
Still, you might be wondering – why is this an issue? After all, it
seems like everyone makes money on it, and poor fans are almost
guaranteed a reissue at a price they can't pass up, or at least a great
deal on the old singles.
Well, one problem is the reasoning behind why there is this constant
You see, various companies have stated at cons they reissue regularly
to keep a variety of titles on shelves, and for this I can't blame them
entirely. Titles can't perennially sell if they aren't accessible to
buy, and considering floor space for anime at major retailers has
become an uphill battle, finding a way to get retailers to keep a title
that's been out for half-a-decade on their shelves that isn't Cowboy
Bebop or Evangelion is sort of essential. Otherwise, the show could
disappear entirely off shelves (though as I've said earlier, the
regularity at which I find to two editions of the same series next to
each other suggests this isn't always a problem.) Plus, even though a
lot of the anime fandom is very web savvy and thus could buy from sites
with tons of variety like amazon or rightstuf, a lot of anime fans are
teenagers who don't have credit cards, so stuff needs to be in real
world stores if you want to get a significant section of anime fans.
So, we get reissues, but there is a catch.
Constantly reissuing is undoubtedly inefficient and inefficiency is usually
a source of lost profits, or more frankly, everybody probably isn't
making money on it, or at least as much as they should. After all, rather than just simply shipping the
titles and then having them sell out, instead new editions get shipped
out while the old editions clutter the same shelf, the old editions
don't sell, so they often get shipped back to the manufacturer, and
then those old editions get shipped back out to 3rd parties to be sold
at clearance prices. I have to think by this point, all this shipping
is not just creating quite the carbon footprint, but that it's soaking
up some money too. Perhaps even enough money that it might instead be
used as a kick back/incentive for real world retailers to keep the
title on the shelf at a new, lower price. Money would also be saved
because the graphic design department wouldn't be constantly cooking up
new, different boxart for a series every year or so, and the brand
manager for said series (and probably for many other series,) would be
able to focus on newer titles rather than constantly dividing their
attention between new stuff and old stuff.
Now, the truth is, I'd guess every localization house has considered
that option (it's very common in other segments of retail,) and well,
it must not make them as much money as releasing 5 versions of the same
show in 5 years, or at least it does for now. Like I said earlier,
constant reissuing sends a message to your hardcore audience – you
know, the early-adopter audience that used to demand and pay for crazy
limited editions, in part because they didn't think you'd turn around
and box the whole show less than a year later for less than the cost of
one of those crazy limited editions – and that message is one word:
WAIT. Unless you absolutely adore the show, and you're absolutely
compelled to buy it, just wait. Don't buy singles ever, don't buy half
season sets, don't even buy the first pass at a complete boxset. Just
wait for the super discount edition boxset – it'll be out in 3 years or
less, and unless it's something you gotta have it now, that's not really a
wait when you often have legal access to the entire show for free via
various streaming sites, and especially when you may still be working
through a backlog of other older anime titles as many long term fans are. I mean, unless you're
truly enamored of the show, you could often buy 2-3 clearance legacy
titles you're curious about for the price of one recent series you're curious about. This
becomes a vicious cycle: as more fans wait for cheap/clearance
versions, the more the industry feels compelled to put a reissue out at
lower price point to bolster sales and keep the title on shelves, which in turn makes another group
of fans feel like they should have waited, so on future releases
they'll wait too, making the industry feel compelled to reissue… and
well you get the picture. It's also clearly already underway to some
extent; the failure of many limited edition versions and the gradual
phasing out of single DVD is proof that already, people have been at least
partially conditioned to wait for lower price points. Now, there is a
simple thing the industry can do subvert this, and it's the same one
word message:
Space stuff out. If on a given format (like DVD or Blu-Ray) you want to
reissue something 3-5 times so you can have 3-5 different price points,
that's not too bad if it's spaced over 7-10 years, and more
importantly, you'd create a sense of urgency. If people know their next
pass at a show is two years away, not less than a year a way, a lot of
folks won't wait. Sure, you'll have some people who will just turn
around and pirate it or in a best case scenario watch it legally off
hulu or youtube, but those people are going to wait you out for low
prices anyway. Sure, artificial scarcity not necessarily an upright
tactic either: after all, nobody likes the Disney vault but Disney, and
a lack of constant reissues means in some Best Buys and such, the niche
titles and the outright c-grade titles will disappear sooner than some
fans will be able to get them, but they might buy it online instead, or
they may turn around and demand that said retailer get it back in
stock. You might able to work with the fandom against the retailers'
policy rather than against the fandom (and your company) by subverting
the retailers' policy.
Maybe this isn't a major problem on the whole, and it's
certainly not the biggest problem the industry faces in the coming
years, but it doesn't strike me as helping anything either. Incentives
for retailers at the cost of your early adopters will completely subvert your
sales in the long term because nothing but the very best of series will
get first issue traction (anything less becomes a wait and see,) and
the price point for everything may have to start so low that the
licensing company can't turn a profit on anything but a very wide
audience title, leaving the niche series that gave anime so much
variety (and thus draw variety of audiences to the medium) unlocalized.
A lot of anime fans already look for any excuse to not buy a given
title, so the industry itself doesn't need to breed that problem with
clockwork buyer's remorse, and they don't need the sales loss from said
remorse to then undermine their ability to buy the variety of anime
necessary to keep anime fans interested in the medium for the long
term. To do otherwise could jeopardize the localization industry's long term success.
