Holed up in a residential neighborhood all day. Here is the search zone all three sightings have been just off el camino in the palm and hayward avenue area. Cornell, what have you been able to learn . One Police Officer told me that that shot was not related to the search for the Mountain Lion. We can tell you still its an active search for that Mountain Lion. Were two blocks from el camino real. The big cat was last seen in the back of an apartment complex a block from here. 10 10, 9th avenue....

Around an apartment complex. But each time police came out to look for it, well it manage to look for it, well it manageed to get away. At one point officers went door to door with guns drawn and told resident to keep an eye on the children. All 3 sightings off el camino in the ninth palm hayward avenue area.

Just a lot of people in the neighborhood. And were told the search will continue as long as it takes. Thank you very much. Last of the Severe Weath...

The committee did their work. It was in the full committee. What are your views on this issue . Well, congressman, i think it is important to point out that we approach the institute of medicine to ask for advice on how to structure a system that will provide assistance at a women, infant and children. They took the job seriously and said we should focus on food were products that would that were healthy and not normally used by women, infant and children.

So theres been a concerted effort in ac 21 to continue to focus on these issues. The labeling issue is a challenging one because historically our labeling has been for either nutrition or because of a known hazard or something that requires a warning. I think its fair to say that this isnt about nutrition and at least from my perspective, its not about any kind i have safety hazard. This is more about consumers right to know. Candidly i think the debate is a 20th century debate in the 21st centu...
