from portugal. nice, with your board behind you. all i saw, dude, are you nuts? were you nervous? >> that wave, everything just came together perfect. so it was like a perfect moment. everything, i was not really nervous at all, to tell you the truth. >> from what i understand, the waves off portugal, you can't paddle out to them. you have to be taken on a jet ski to hop on. is that correct? >> yeah. these waves are not humans possible to catch. you can't even get out to them. and then if you got out to them, there is no way to paddle into them. >> so you know, i've been on a board for like .2 seconds before falling off myself. here you are on a 90-foot wave. how long were you riding the wave and what in the world was it like? >> i would say about 20, 30 seconds. and it was like riding down a

black diamond mogul, icy black diamond, and the mountain is moving and chasing you the whole way down and you're trying to stay under it and stay close to it without letting it crush you. maybe that can put it into perspective for everybody out there. >> are you holding your breath? what are you looking at? >> the whole time i was looking at the bumps. it's like looking at the moguls to make sure you don't hit them wrong. this wave took so long to get to the bottom, i actually had a few seconds to look back at the wave two or three times, which i never really get to do. i usually just get to the bottom and turn. this one took forever. i got to see, check it out. okay, i am a all right? i am a in the right place? >> i feel you reliving this, garrett. what in the world is next for you? how do you top 90 feet? >> i don't know. i'm trying to if i go it out. i'm not sure.

we're going to have to go back home to hawaii and surf for eddie at the bay. >> my friends would say you caught some serious stoke. thank you so much. good talking to you. >> right on. thank you. >> now this. welcome back. hour two here. live from washington, d.c. first up, the president of penn state and head football coach joe paterno out. also today, armed kidnappers grab a national baseball player, plus investors are still on edge. intense weather battering alaska. time to play reporter roulette. i want to begin with you in pennsylvania on this sudden firing of coaching legend joe paterno. >> reporter: things are much calmer out here today.

stark contrast to what was it was like out here last night. you know, many students, thousands piling into the streets after the announce many was made that paterno was out. they tipped over news vans, directing much of their energy at the media because they feel as though too much attention has been focused on paterno and not enough attention focused on jerry sandusky, the man at the heart of this sexual abuse scandal that has rocked penn state. brooke? >> jason, do we have some sound? i know you talked to, who was it? the president of the student body? >> reporter: yes, president of student body in terms of what he was saying, things much better out here today. he was saying they wanted to put more attention on the victims. in fact that's what paterno said. last night right after the announcement was made. cameras were at his house. he came out with his wife. he was very emotional and spoke to the students about his

thoughts. take a listen. >> get a good night's sleep. study. we still got things to do. all right. i'm out of it maybe now. we'll go from there, okay? good luck, everybody. thanks for coming. and pray a little bit for those victims. >> reporter: also out, penn state's president graham spanier. in is rodney erickson. he will be the interim president. released a partial statement saying they have authorized a full investigation to determine what failures occurred. who is responsible. what measures are necessary to ensure that this never, ever happens again. brooke? >> jason carroll live for us at the penn state campus. next on reporter roulette. in new york, luis, you're following the kidnapping of a major league baseball player, wilson ramos out of the

washington nationals. this kidnapping in venezuela. what are you hearing this hour? >> reporter: hi, brooke. this is a huge case in venezuela. according to preliminary reports, two armed men actually stormed his house in valencia, venezuela. neighbors tell local media that a gunmen were there. they we they were around his house before they went in and they said they threatened to kill him. you know this is a very common case in that country. kidnappings have been rising in the country but this is the first time that happened to a baseball player. brooke? >> what about the washington nationals? his team near d.c. have they released any kind of statement? >> reporter: yes, absolutely. i will read it. it says our foremost concern is with wilson ramos and his family and our thoughts are with them at this time. major league baseball's department of investigation is working with the appropriate authorities this matter.

both major league baseball and the washington nationals have been instructed to make no further comment. now, brooke, you could be asking yourself, what is the u.s. going to do about this? the answer to that question is that the fbi is not involved because ramos is not a u.s. citizen. and this kidnapping didn't happen in u.s. territory. >> louis carlos, thank you so much for that strange story. thank you. next on reporter roulette, let's go to the new york stock exchange. talk to me about how the numbers look as we are less than 60 minutes away from the closing bell. a big sell-off yesterday. how is the street today? >> reporter: it is looking a we'll lot better than it did yesterday. we talked to the equivalent of the federal reserve. you see the dow is up 95 points. some spines the job market may be gaining some traction. what that generally shows is that there is more hiring going

on. that layoffs are slowing. but clearly, chipping away at the 9% unemployment rate, that will take some time. >> talk to me about this county in alabama, jefferson county. it includes birmingham filing for bankruptcy. the biggest municipal bankruptcy in u.s. history. allegations of dirty, dirty business there. what's the story? >> yes. and it's that dirty business that may have got them into the financial trouble that they're in. you're talking about jefferson county. as you said, it includes alabama's biggest city, birmingham. the fact is, it can't pay its bills. it filed for bankruptcy protection. the county is drowning in more than $4 billion in december. that includes a $3 billion in debt for a sewer project. its debt problems reportedly escalated in the mid 2008 time frame when those bond deals that it made for its sewer system basically went bad with accusations of corruption, among other things. what happened was interest rates

rose. the debt was downgraded in 2008. but you have to remember, this isn't the only place this is happening. remember harrisburg, pennsylvania, last month filed for bankruptcy protection as well. and one analyst said for these places, it is really not an economic problem. it winds up being more of a financial problem. these places relied some unusual financing agreements that essentially got them into all this trouble. brooke? >> thank you. and finally, reporter roulette chad myers. i haven't seen you in forever. nice to see you. of course i leave. i'm in washington. >> 90-mile-per-hour wind gusts in a snow-acane. the northern part of alaska, boy, was it a mess. trying to draw alaska here so you get a feel for where we are. the fishermen are down here. that dangerous catch, deadliest job, whatever it is. the winds toward nome were 60

psychologist jeff gardere with advice for parents.

in honor of veterans day, cnn is going in focus in the men and women who have served our country. we want to share with you amputee velts tea a team of amputee haitian earthquake survivors, showing the world that competitive spirit and the ability to overcome cannot be removed with simply the loss of a limb. >> you go out there thinking, i'm going to be okay. i'm going to come home safe. all of a sudden something happens to you. and everything is just like slow motion. i was in afghanistan. we were running an overnight

patrol on a previous blast sight. i would clear the road for bombs. i could not see anything. i was going off the beeping noise and the light on the metal detector. i just remember, i was looking down at the ground and i see a bright flash of life. i couldn't see anything. the dust was everywhere. it took me about 30 seconds to realize that i stepped on an ied. i've never felt that amount of pain so i didn't know if i was going to die or live. >> it's going to be a good day. >> we're just about ready to start. you'll notice the guys in green shirt. >> my first time playing soccer. ever. >> these are all wounded warriors who lost their limbs in afghanistan. >> what's going on today, we're having a friendly match between the u.s. national amputee soccer team and the team from haiti. it is part of the three-day effort here to give something

back to the u.s. veterans in walter reed hospital. show them how the game is played. show them they can look forward to playing this game even if they were wounded in action. >> i have a soccer background. three of the guys came up to me them asked me to play on their team today. they're just like, hey, we would be honored if you would put on this jersey and play for us. so of course i'm going to say yes because i love this game. after the injury, i was thinking, i won't be able to play any of the things i love to play. when i heard about this, i jumped on board right away. i was excited. >> i can't believe that. >> when i see these guys coming into walter reed with their combat injuries, i understand that there's been a lot of trauma. that they are in a new configuration. they're in a new body and they're not sure what they're going to be able to do with it. one of the things that drives us is to say, okay, you're in a new configuration. that doesn't mean you have to be limited in your competitive night.

>> when i lost my leg, i really didn't know what there was to do. i literally forgot i was on crutches. i forgot that i had no leg. >> you've got to pass the ball. >> with a shoe and a shin guard and two crutches, they can be world class athletes. it's hope, it's participation. >> we've got a last-minute goal. we ended up winning it. >> it's opening a door into the future that they may not of thought they had. >> usa! usa! usa! mine was earned over the south pacific in 1943. vietnam, 1967. i got mine in iraq, 2003. u.s.a.a. auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation, because it offers a superior level of protection

jerry sandusky is accused of sexual offenses, child endangerment and corruption of a minor involving eight boys. investigators say he met and in their words, groomed most if not all these boys through the second mile. the charity he founded to help troubled kids and teens. >> if you read the presentment, what you saw was that we who do investigations like this would call grooming. what happened here was grooming. where these predators identify a child, become mentors, they're usually children that they're having a little difficulty. they're at risk children. through the second mile program he was able to identify these children. then give them gifts, establish a trust, initiate physical could not dhakt eventually leads to sexual contact. and that is very common in these types of investigations. >> i want to bring in clinical

psychologist jeff gardere in new york to talk more about these cases. we have to say if these allegations are true, this is about a man in a position of power who preyed upon vulnerable children. many of whom as part of this grand jury program that we read, he met through his charity. the key word is vulnerable. >> these were at risk chides were having emotional issues, perhaps financial issues, and therefore grooming these particular kids who worked for if this happened, for jerry sandusky in a way that che coul take advantage of them much easier. >> let's talk more about this word that we just heard in this news conference, the word "grooming." part of this news conference, that jerry sandusky groomed these young boifls can you be more specific? what does that mean? >> when we look at this issue of

grooming, especially with sexual predators toward children, they gain their trust. they put themselves in a power of position where that person becomes like parental figure them begin to buy them gifts and let them know the safe haven is in this predator's home. so what they do is they get the complete trust of that child. not just to take advantage of the child so that the child does not turn them in and the child begins to believe that this inappropriate sexual behavior is actually something that is okay. so it is almost like you are, taking their minds and wrapping it anyway that you want to as the predator. >> when you read the grand jury report, it starts slow. according to the victims and their testimonies, some of them stayed with sandusky in his basement. they talk about how he would come down and want to crack their backs blor, blow on their stomachs and then the touching

would start to escalate. is that the typical m.o. of a predator? >> absolutely. what they're doing is slowly gaining the trust by making moves, inappropriate moves, toward that child in a way that may not raise their suspicion and then incrementally they begin to build toward more exploitive sexual behaviors. >> what about also, and i know you talk about this. the code of silence. there are really two witnesses. you have this janitor who witnessed a scene in a shower. he now has dementia and you have this graduate assistant, who ultimately went to paterno and didn't call police. didn't yell at the time when he saw, according to these allegations, sandusky raping a child in the shower and didn't do a thing. why? >> this is beyond comprehension. we're talking about a child who was probably screaming. there are a lot of noises coming

from that particular situation that i don't even want to go into. it is so heinous, what happened. you would think the first thought of that person would be to jump on whomever this predator is in this case, if it is sandusky, and pull him off of the child. immediately call 911. that didn't happen. and it is because its part of that old boys network. you don't want to ruin someone else's reputation. you don't want to get someone on the team, if you will, thrown off. you're afraid that person may have too much power and you may end up getting in trouble. the other fact is that people are in denial and when they see something so heinous happening, they just can't believe it themselves can't comprehend and it they go into some form of denial. when they report it and it is not to the police, they'll say i saw something happening. i wasn't quite sure what it was. i think it was appropriate but they don't say, yeah, that guy was raping that little boy. >> just a wake-up call for parents. talk to your kids. >> teachable moments for the

parents. that's right. >> thank you so much. we really appreciate it. now to this story, the dover air force base getting a lot of heat for dumping cremated body parts from u.s. troops in a virginia landfall. we're talking to one of the post report here's has been on this story next. for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "well, maybe we ought to buy this hot dog cart and set it up someplace." so my parents went to bank of america. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property." and the branch manager said, "all right, i will take a chance with the two of you." and we've been loyal to bank of america for the last 71 years.

finding this and investigating. the air force now according to your article admits from 2003 to 2008, it never told family members, disposal meant landfill. where do these husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, think their loved ones remains went? >> reporter: they would have gone to a landfill in king george county, virginia, that's run by waste management. so the body parts that usually were found after the main body was returned would have been incinerated, cremated and then dumped this this landfill. >> the family didn't know they were going. where did they think they were going? >> reporter: you know, i think some of them thought they were buried. some of them thought they would be incinerated and disposed of in some sort of military ceremony. the box that they ticked off said if there are additional remains, do you want to know or

would you rather that we make appropriate disposal of them? a lot of families i think assumed they had the whole body. but in a moment of zbreef a lot of confusion, they ticked the box and they assumed they would be dealt with appropriately. what that means to each person, i don't know. i know for most of them it probably doesn't mean a landfill though. >> i would guess that you're right. i want to run through these quotes that were in your piece that struck me. you have gary lynn smith. she said my only peace of mind in losing my husband was that he was taken to dover and handled with dignity, love, respect and honor. that was completely shattered for me when i was told that he was thrown in the trash. one more quote from your article. stan mcdowell's son died in a fighter crash in afghanistan in 2009. he said we know mark was a christian. that he is in heaven so maybe there are some remains that did not end up in his burial site. we know mark is separated from his body and he is in heaven.

wow! greg, what are these family members demanding of the air force? what kind of discipline has been handed out here? >> well, so far, i mean there have been a whole host of problems that have been uncovered at dover. so far nobody has been fired. people have been sort of reassigned to positions of less experience. one sort of letter of reprimand was given to an air force colonel which is a career ender for him. he won't get promoted again. he will get retired at his full wrank full benefits. no one has been fired and i think there is some concern among families that appropriate accountability has not been put into place. people should lose their jobs. >> as we mentioned, secretary panetta asking for this independent investigation. i know you'll stay on it and we'll read your articles there. thank you so much. the president of penn state and football coach joe paterno,

they are out. can alleged victims use that firing as evidence to sue the university? we're going to ask sunny hostin. is it all over for gop hopeful rick perry? we'll talk to jim acosta who was there when he made the gaffe. .

a mountain of trash covered with solar panels. the idea, give an old landfill a new greener life. >> when a landfall is through taking waste, it is basically dormant. >> this new technology puts it back to use. this cover is lined with seven flexible solar strips. it seals the landfall to keep rain out and methane gas in. >> any landfall generates gas as a natural by product. that is a resource that we will use as a beneficial product for local industry. >> the solar panels on this landfall in georgia will produce enough electricity to power more than 200 homes. initially more expensive than the usual methods of closing landfalls, liners covered with dirt and grass, the solar blanket pays off with lower maintenance costs. >> for the next 25 years, it will continue to provide a benefit to this community through the power that it generates. >> other solar landfall projects underway in several states.

we'll call it the oops heard around the political world. presidential hopeful rick perry's self-proclaimed brain freeze at last night's gop debate, did you see it? has a lot of folks saying it is all over for the texas governor. or is it? c inning n political correspondent jim acosta joins me now. he had seemed so presidential for so many week until that moment last night. what happened? >> reporter: right. i mean, brooke, remember this was just ten weeks ago when everybody was talking about rick perry as being the eventual gop nominee. and he had been struggling in these debates before last night.

and his poll numbers were reflecting that. last night he knew he got himself into trouble with that moment when he was trying to talk about the three departments of the federal government that he would eliminate. and when you talk to people, i don't know if you tried to talk the people about this today. it is really difficult to describe exactly what happened. it was really 53 seconds of just excruciating television. the only way to describe it is to show it so here it is. >> and i will tell you, it is three agencies of government when i get there that are gone. commerce, education and the -- what's the third one there? let's see. >> five. >> commerce, education and the -- um -- >> epa. epa. there you go. >> seriously? >> reporter: that wasn't even

the full 53 seconds. as you mentioned there, brooke, eventually he says oops. and then he instantly knew he was in trouble. erased into the post debate spin room. ran right up to the report here's ran right up to him and he basically admitted that he stepped into it. and we just have a brief clip from what he was talking about earlier on american morning. and he was basically admitting this was a mistake. here's what he had to say. >> we're going to get going back to those primary states and talking about our tax plan and talking about how we get america back working again. i may not be the best debater, the slickest politician on that stage. what they do know about me is that for ten years, i've been the chief executive officer of the state that created more jobs than any other state in the nation while america lost 2.5 million. what they're looking for is substance. not necessarily the slickest

debater. >> reporter: the perry campaign, they're not trying to beat them. they're trying to join them. they're making light of what happened. their website is asking people, which department of federal government would you like to forget? and he is even going on david letterman tonight to read the top ten list. and i'm -- exactly, i'm guessing he will be wovg a teleprompter and not his memory. >> piers: thank you so much. we'll be watching tonight. the late show. by the way, this just happened in the last hour or so. i wanted to turn around this tape for you. you be the judge. candidate michele bachmann about to leave the stage after this group of occupy protesters disrupted this foreign policy speech she was giving aboard the historic uss yorktown. you take a look. [ yelling ]

>> and so eventually police had to escort congresswoman bachmann offstage. she did return a couple minutes later and we should say did finish her speech there. it has been a mystery for almost 40 years. what does former president nixonon say happened during those 18 1/2 lost minutes of a tape-recording between him and his chief of staff after the watergate break-in? nixon's secret grand jury testimony finally made public. don't miss this. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies,

celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex.

for a body in motion.

joe paterno out as head coach at penn state. the question is whether his firing somehow open the way for potential future alleged sex assault victim to come forward. victims of former assistant coach jerry sandusky to potentially sue. let's go to sunny hostin. if there are other victim, doubt with paterno out, and we know sandusky has been gone, will it be easier for them to come forward? >> you know, i certainly think

that there is strength in numbers when it comes to this kind of thing and i think people are strengthened when they know that they're not alone. so i suspect that we will hear unfortunately about other victims coming forward. i think there's no question that those victim will be suing the university and all of the folks that were involved in perhaps the cover-up, involved in the allegations, helped enable sandusky to perpetrate these terrible crimes on these boys. and i suspect that these are cases that will be settled privately. i don't think that the university, given their stance, given that they have let paterno go, they have let the school president go, it is obvious that they are going to be aggressive in their internal investigation. these cases that i hope not to see tried publicly. i think these will be private settlements. there will be some civil litigation stemming from these horrible allegations.

>> second case, this is complicated to follow. there is a woman in montana working in a mental health facility. she was fired for reporting that she simply suspected a client had child porn on his computer. a, was child porn even found? w why was she fired? >> child porn was found. i'm looking at the criminal complaint that was filed against the defendant. the now defendant in this case. what is interesting about this case, and it is a stark comparison to what happened at penn state. you have a mental health professional whose client she suspected of child abuse. and she suspected of having child porn on his computer. she did report it to her supervisors because there are people that have this mandatory reporting requirement. including health care professionals, including teachers, brooke, and she did the right thing. however, her supervisors felt that it didn't meet the mandatory requirement standards, you know what? she went a step farther. she went to the police and she

was fired because of it. they felt she breach that had confidential communication. i think the take-away is there are people that do the right thing. when you suspect child abuse, when you see something, you say something. she lost her job because of it but she still has her moral compass intact. >> yes. so important. your morality. sunny hostin, thank you so much. coming up, one heck of an elephant rescue. baby elephant wouldn't leave mama. coming up.
