Reason to force him to sell the team. but the problem there is hes basically saying, hey, its okay for me to be a bigot and still own an nba team. the nba is going to say, that is not okay, not even if it was a conversation in private. >> you know, the numbers that are being thrown around, rachel, 1 billion, $1.5 billion, $2 billion, $2.5 billion. you say there are six parties bidding right now. are those numbers realistic? >> well, you know, the clippers television contract is up in a couple ye...

4:48. she had dessert, guess what it was? another 72-ounce steak all in less than 15 minutes. where does she put it? kind of an embarrassing situation for a man in california. fire officials say he tried to break into his estranged wifes house through the chimney and he got stuck. they disassembled it to get him out and the sheriffs department says no criminal charges were filed. sharks are now being used to help predict dangerous hurricanes. scientists at the university of miami are strappi...

Malaysian flight 370 just to see if the pings and handshakes and all the satellite data would have been the same? >> well, i think -- i mean, i should say, first of all, i have a great deal of confidence in the inmarsat engineers. i know many of them, they are very smart people and really do know what they are doing, so im not saying theres any real doubt that they would have done everything correctly. i think that people had hoped to do some independent evaluation and thats not fully possible w...

Court ordered psychiatric evaluation and have this young man remanded. thats the process. you can have that done. the police do not -- how would you say, in a text book fashion, take people off the street unless they have good cause to believe that they are a risk to themselves or others. i want to point one thing out. this young man somehow at the age of 22 and a student had the resources to go out and purchase approximately $3,000 worth of handguns as well as 400 rounds of ammunition to go wit...
