Stand by on the floor. News is next.
The products you're looking at
are not exactly everyday items.
Take these for example.
They use them at McDonald's and Burger King,
and now you can have one in
your own kitchen or office.
Wireless headsets that let
you talk on the phone.
No hands needed.
Can't watch TV in the shower?
Now you can listen to it.
This radio receives TV stations and
hangs in the shower for the really
lazy a projection alarm clock.
Wake up in the middle of the night and see
the time projected on your ceiling or wall.
The clock won't stop the snoring though.
That's your problem and
can't get to the pool.
This device gives your face a quick tan.
Tired after a long day at the office?
How about a set of slippers
that will massage your feet?
The maker claims just by walking in them?
These are things we would use at home,
in our cocooning effects,
at home with our family, and these
help us make life better at home.
And that tends to be a new trend away
from the Gee whiz toys of the 80s.
Would you like to workout
but can't get to the gym?
Portable vinyl dumbbells are
light enough to take anywhere.
Just fill them with water,
put them on special plastic bars,
and you're in business.
At work, at home, on vacation.
Really. Security conscious?
Well, here's a combination.
Travel clock and burglar alarm.
Put the clock on your night stand.
Detach the motion sensor and
put it on your motel or hotel
door to detect intruders.
All right, it's time for prop notes again.
This time, we're going to
start with Proposition One O 3.
It's about whether independent voters
should be allowed to vote in primaries.
It's pretty simple. Vote yes.
Independents can vote in the primary.
Vote no. Well, and they can't.
Propositions one O 4 and one O 5 deal
with sort of a similar subject where the
lawmakers should be able to change the laws
that the citizens of Arizona vote into place.
So how are they different?
Well, one O 4 was written by these guys,
the lawmakers.
One O 5 is an initiative put
on the ballot by petitions.
Vote yes on either one and it will be tougher
to change the laws that you vote into place.
You have to decide which one you like best.
Proposition 200 is about campaign
finance limits. Vote yes.
There will be a new 5 member Commission.
To keep track of candidates who agree
to tighter rules about contributions,
it would also restrict the money
that can go to candidates who don't
agree to those restrictions.
Vote no. Well, things stay the same.
Finally, there is Proposition 202.
It would allow any Arizona candidate for a
national office the chance to sign a pledge.
A pledge that they would abolish the IRS.
Vote yes.
They get to sign that pledge.
Vote no.
Well, there's no official pledge.
And that's pretty much what it boils down to.

Here's what's coming up today at 4.
Whether you're cheering for
the Sun Devils or the Wildcats,
we'll have all the excitement
for you from the big game today.
Also coming up,
a lot of folks are using these.
These are those poor strips
that just rip the stuff out
of your skin. We're gonna
see if they really work.
That's all coming up today at 4:00
in the Murphy School district
in southwest Phoenix.
19 of 20 students are Hispanic.
Today's project? Designing a math game.
OK, inactivity. That when the
Sundesina Nos presentaciones Democrats
in the legislature say the state
is shortchanging these kids,
they want more dollars for bilingual
education and they want the AIMS test
requirement dropped when it comes
time to hand out high school diplomas,
we do not think that students
ought to be made to pass it
bilingual students or any students,
Any student. Statewide, the Hispanic
dropout rate is running around 40%.
With AIMS testing, particularly in English,
and without full bilingual
education support from the state,
educators fear even fewer of
these kids will actually earn
high school diplomas in Arizona.
What will happen to the dropout
rate if the AIMS test goes
without more bilingual education?
If I go from 40 to 6070%, but
the state education department says
pouring 1,000,000 more dollars into a
broken bilingual system will not fix it.
Then there's the section of the bill
which says a pupil shall not be required
to achieve a passing score on the Ames
Test to graduate from high school.
We have no plans to get
rid of it and there's no
reason to. You know, we. What we want to
do is go out to the schools and say
here are your academic standards.
This is what your students
need to know in order to graduate.
OK, so Senor Flores, what is your game?
Right now, the Ames Test
is still part of that game,
and the governor's office says any
attempt to take it out is likely
to trigger a veto next year.
Lou Rajiro, 12 news.
Hey, everybody.
Shelly Hansel here at Kumar's Craft Mall.
It's out by Metro Center.
If you've never been here, boy,
holiday shopping right here, right?
Artie, you're with,
you're with the mall.
You guys have got a great place.
Tell me about it. Well,
what we have here is we have
400 crafters in this mall.
We have 4 malls in the Valley.
We sell everything you can think of.
If you're looking for a unique holiday gift,
you'll find it here.
And it's one of the kind things.
So if you find it,
you want to take it home with you right away.
But if you're shopping for
somebody that has everything,
you're going to find something here for them.
And that's what I like about it.
Because, you know, it's one of
those things that, you know,
if you buy something that is handmade,
handcrafted, crafted,
not very many people are going
to have something like that.
That's right. We really have
a lot of talented people,
a lot of our people.
To do this as a second job
and have a second income,
and it's just a wonderful,
fun place to shop.
It is. And this weekend you've got your
big holiday extravaganza and you've
got stuff out in the parking lot.
Should we go check it out?
All right. Hey, here we are out in
the parking lot and joining me now.
Sue Yancy, how are you doing?
This is a great thing.
It's a holiday extravaganza.
So outside crafters as well. That's
right. We have over 70 crafters that
are going to be in our parking lot this
weekend just on Saturday from 4:50.
We have Kumar's crafters like
Becky over here, and we also have
people from outside of Kumar's.
We're going to have kettle corn and
a Santa's Village for the kids to
come and shop for under $10. Wow.
They'll also be able to make cookies,
and they're going to be able to make an
ornament. And they'll also get
help from our friend here.
That's right, our Santa's elf.
So the kids can come out and that
way they can buy a gift for mom
and dad and they don't have to,
That it can be all wrapped and
they'll be a big surprise,
right? The else will help them
wrap it so Mom and dad won't see
it when they go out of the store.
Well, and where else folks, can you find?
A poo pot. Get it? Poo pot.
OK, so it's going to be a great
holiday extravaganza here at the
Coomers Craft Mall out by Metro Center,
and we all know it's going to
be a great something to do.
