Manufacturing, a pillar in our economy, right . Let me read you something from the National Association of 8th and this is about the Fourth Quarter, 2015 Manufacturers Outlook survey revealing a five point drop in the Manufacturing Outlook that manufacturers continue to cite an unfavorable Business Climate has their top business challenge. Before i introduce you to the president of that group. Let me show you and give you a snapshot. Output, 7. 71 billion. A share of employment. 10. 28 and the and annual compensation, not bad. 2. 71 trillion to the economy for every dollar spent on manufacturing, another 1. 40 is added to the u. S. Economy at for 12. 33 million jobs or 9 of our work force. With me to talk about all of that is jay timmons, president and ceo of the National Association of manufacturers, welcome. Good morning. Lets go back to that outlook, unfavorable Business Climate and manufacturers are having a problem with finding employees, problem with r and d investment, a problem with trade, a problem with the tax code. Youre here on a tour of primary states, president ial primary states in New Hampshire with a message about that. What is it . Well, the reg is, look, if we get our policies right, fred, if we really rededicate ours selves to strengthening the manufacturing economy, we not only improve manufacturing, not only create jobs, not only make quality of life better in communities across the country, but we also strengthen our position of leadership worldwide and enables us to export those values that really make us exceptional as a nation. If you had one of the president ial candidates sitting across the table from you what would you tell him or her . Her its better to unite us rather than divide us. They want to be inspired by their leaders. They want to an agenda and focus on opportunities for all americans regardless of any factors, making sure that theyre promoting an agenda thats going to strengthsen our economy for the longterm. Corporate taxes is one of the issues that your members cite, the highest in the world Corporate Taxes. Thats right. What would you ask a president ial candidate to do if they get the oval office about that. I think the question is, is it a badge of honor to have the highest Corporate Tax rate in the world when you see businesses having to make decisions . I mean, manufacturing is mobile, right . I mean, manufacturers are making decisions where to headquarter their operations in order to be able to invest more money into research and development and product lines. They cant do that in this country to the extent they once used to. I would say what is the plan for and making them more competitive with other countries around the world. What should that rate be . You know, weve advocated a rate of 25 and ill be very frank with you. Thats a rate thats seen as achievable, and i think we ought to be lifting a little bit harder and we ought to look at a rate thats even lower than that, perhaps 20 , perhaps in the teens to really send a message to the world that were serious. One of the other issues youd probably talk to a candidate about are trade barriers from access throughout the borders. And you made the point about customers outside the u. S. What would a president do about trade barriers. Listen to the figure, 95 . 19 out of every possible consumers, customers, dont live in the united states. We have to get to them. What is happening now, we have a trade agreements, this populous sentiment coming out about trade agreements. Without talking about how were going to get these products to other markets around the world. The only way to open up the markets to negotiate fair and free trade agreements. In about ten seconds, which trade agreement to you want on the front burner. The document right now, is a transpacific partnership. If we dont china is going to. From the association of manufacturers. Thank you. If you want to see this again go to wmur. Com and click on business and click on economy. With the temperatures in the 40s in the state so far.

Primary. Yeah, because for primary you just go vote and youre done. Here you get to talks to your neighbors. Fair enough, but do the candidates themselves know the difference . They cant lecture me about this issue. Marco rubio does. Caucus, people show up for an hour and hear different speeches from different candidates or surrogates and then on a slip of those are counted and thats the winner.

Its 20s, and concord at 35 degrees. The normal or average low for concord for this morning is 11. So you can see how much warmer it is right now. Well zoom in with our storm watch 9 Spotter Network temperatures here and you can see upper 30s across pretty much all of southeastern New Hampshire. Southwestern New Hampshire, upper 20s, lower 30s, more of the same in central parts of the state. When you only dip down this low up into the 30s and 40s again, thats why the lakes are having trouble freezing, of course, and northern New Hampshire were in the 20s throughout much of the Granite State there. A few differences in the Mount Washington valley. All right, lots of clouds for sure, but you notice the darker and lighter spots thats thicker and thinner portions, up to the west, where our weather is coming from, there are many thin spots. I expect to see partial sunshine at times today. That teamed up with the mild air in place does mean that it will be another decent day out there for today. Certainly a lot of clouds and milder than yesterday. 5 to as much as 10 degrees warmer than where we were yesterday, depending on your location. This is a cold front that will roll through tomorrow afternoon. So, milder air in front of it and slightly cooler air for tuesday behind it. Tomorrow, this could bring a spot shower to New Hampshire, but most places wont see it. Here is that surge of warmth so its pushing in. Tomorrow, one the warmer days for sure and not a bad day for tomorrow as well. So, today, clouds and some breaks of sunshine, here are the temperatures superimposed on top of them. Even northern New Hampshire by mid day today and this afternoon, makes it into the lower 40s. Mid 40s and even upper 40s, across central and southern New Hampshire. Tonight, another mild night and for tomorrow, here is a look where well be heading. The morning temperatures with partly sunny skies in the 40s once again and could get to the lower 50s briefly there tomorrow afternoon before things settle back down again. Cooler for tuesday. For today, lets lay it out here for you. Low 40s in western New Hampshire and farther south and southeast you have, mid or upper 40s certainly a good likelihood in a lot of spots and despite the clouds, tonight, once again, mild temperatures for this time of year and tomorrow, upper across central and southern m na. Northern New Hampshire making it to the low and mid 40s with clouds and sun and a spot shower a possibility. So check out your extended forecast, i count six, five out of the next seven days, well above average and the end of the week, friday into saturday and not as much, it cools off. But the mild temperature pattern continues. The chance for rain will be wednesday and it could be heavy at times. Ok. Thanks, josh. Yeah.

The wind usually wasnt an issue. At 250, 300 feet nothing you can do. One thing i learned in flight training, if youre in a ditching or crash situation, try to keep the nose of the plane up. They crashed into the woods about 150 yards from a home and then the plane caught fire. The only door on the plane was on the right side of the plane, tried to open the door, it was jammed in the ground. At that point the fire started to come into the plane, caught his arm on fire, his arm was bubbling. Cross, a lieutenant in the and i have been taught discard the bad and look at the good. He went back into the burning plane to get to his friend. He claimed in over my window and released my seat belt. More than 10 of cross upper body was burned. He was airlifted to a boston hospital.

Mattel agrees, barbies ability to survive and grow and staying true to her spirit, is central to why barbie is the number one fashion doll in the world. Not everyone is on board.

In framingham, mass, where Christa Mcauliffe attended college, students are working as a team on a mission to mars. Its so cool, honestly, i love it so much. These highly interactive space adventurers are the creation of Challenger Center. And know profit formed by the family of the challenger crew in the days after the tragedy. People who really cared, people who believed in them wanted to continue that mission. June Scobee Rogers was married to the shuttle commander dick scobee. She started Challenger Center which carries on the teacher in Space Program in memory of the flight crew. A tribute of something they loved so much, something they were willing to risk their lives for. June, who is also a teacher, helped christa prepare some of see the bubbles . The big ones . I think shes the nations teacher and we all respected an and admire her courage to fly aboard challenger. These centers hope to encourage children to explore and get them engaged in areas of stem, signs cience technology, electronics and math. The goal is to encourage them to be engineers, medical doctors, because we really need that. And 30 years after the shuttle tragedy, there are more than 40 challenger injuries in 27 states and four countries. And 20 communities are now vying to be the next on the list. 30 years later, were almost four and a half million children have had the experience of going on to space through our Challenger Mission center and greatness in their life.

Manufacturing a pillar in our economy, right . Let me read you something from the National Manufacturers association, this is about the Fourth Quarter 2015 Manufacturers Outlook survey which was released in december, revealing a five point drop in the Manufacturing Outlook that manufacturers continue to cite unfavorable Business Climate as their top business challenge. With that in mind and before i introduce you to the president and give you a snapshot. 11. 37 , share of employment, 10. 28 and annual compensation average is not bad. And manufacturing in the u. S. Contributes more than 2. 17 trillion to the economy. For every dollar spent on manufacturing, another 1. 40 is added to the u. S. Economy and accounts for 12. 33 million jobs. Ap with me to talk about this is jay timmons, the president and ceo of manufacturers, welcome. Lets go back to the outlook. Its unfavorable Business Climate. Manufacturers are finding problems with employees and r and d investment and a problem with trade and a problem with the tax code. Youre here on a tour of primary states, president ial primary states in New Hampshire with a message about that. What is it . If we get our policies right, fred. If we really rededicate ourselves to strengthening the manufacturing economy, not only make quality of life better in communities across the country, but we also strengthen our position of leadership worldwide, and it enables us to export those values that really make us exceptional as a nation. If you had one of the president ial candidates sitting across the table from you right now, what would you tell him or her . First of all, id probably tell him or her, look, its much better to unite us than divide us. Americans want to be inspired by leaders. They want somebody whos going to have an agenda, who is focused on creating jobs and opportunities for all americans, regardless of any factors. Making sure that theyre promoting an agenda thats going to strengthen our economy for the longterm. Corporate taxes is one of the the highest in the world are Corporate Taxes. Thats right. What would you ask a president ial candidate to do if they get the oval office about that. The question is, is it a badge of honor to have the highest Corporate Tax rate in the world when you see businesses having to make decisions. Moving is manufacturing is mobile, right . They have to invest in research and development and they cant in this country to the extent they once used to. I would say what is your plan for lowering the tax rate and making taxes more competitive with countries around the world. What should that rate be . Weve advocated a rate of 25 . Ill be frank with you. Achievable. Without a lot of heavy lifting. I think we ought to be lifting a little bit harder and we ought to look at a rate thats lower than that, perhaps 20 , perhaps the teens to really send a one of the other issues youve probably talked to a candidate about would be trade barriers to prevent manufacturers outside of the border. You make the point, your group down, many percentage are outside the u. S. What would you ask a wouldbe president to do about barriers . Lets look at that figure. 95 . 19 out of every 20 possible consumers, customers, dont live in the united states. Weve got to get to them and whats happening right now. We have this war of words when this comes to trade agreements, this populace ous sentiment without talking about how are we going to get the products to other markets around the world. The only way to do that, to open up markets, to negotiate fair and free trade agreements. In about ten seconds, which trade agreement to you want on on the docket is a transpacific partnership, if we dont set the rules in asia, china is going to. From the National Association of New Hampshire. Thank you. If you want to see it again go to wmur. Com, click on news and click on project economy. Now, meteorologist josh judge with your forecast. Josh its a winter not quite like other winters. We start off once again with a warmer air mass pushing in for the next couple of days as well. Look at weirs beach is not that stick. 32 degrees and rising. Theres been so much talk with the events and pond hockey schedules and people trying to go out on the ice and its so dangerous in many locations, theres certainly some smaller ponds that are a little bit safer. It really behooves you to measure the ice. Take an auger and drill a hole in the ice, you really need at least four to six inches for a ice together. Six or seven if its a group of people. If youre going to put a snowmobile or a vehicle on there, at least eight to ten inches or more. Thats what New Hampshire fish and game recommends, their guidelines you want to follow to help save a life, maybe yours. Above average once again, mid and upper 30s con considered cord ncord. 30s and 20s and that will reverse around. Average high for concord is 32 and average low is 11. Were in the mid 30s. Were well above. A. The high of 32 for this day will be shattered and it has been and well head into the 40s. Lots of clouds, there will be clouds thin enough to allow partial sunshine through at times. Were calling it clouds and breaks of sunshine with milder conditions. This is the warm front that went through followed by a cold front probably moving through the state dry. But it could kick off a random shower or two here and there. But out ahead of it is the milder air, that you can see it coming up toward us here and thats whats moving in right now and it will be around tomorrow. Today in the 40s and even lower 50s are a possibility as the temperatures today will be well above average and tomorrow even more so, with clouds and sunshine again tomorrow as i mentioned, it could be a spot shower or two as that front rolls through. Then for wednesday, thats when things really turn wet as rain will arrive. Another look at futurecast here. Clouds coming and going today and tomorrow, see the front rolling through, but washing out as it does so. Temperatures will top off in the mid to upper 40s. Check out the highs for tomorrow as those temperatures reach the upper 40s and even lower 50s, later in the week, the mildest day may be wednesday, as rain and maybe even heavy rain at times, it gets cold by the end of the week.
