from the earth's biosphere gave us a perspective that was unique and a way to see what's going on in our world and earth. and having a spacecraft flying by mars where you look back at earth is literally just a pale blue star like all the other stars. is going to give it perspective. there's some way that missions like this help give us perspective. >> i have two more questions. number one, as a married couple how do you not kill each other being together 501 days straight, 24-7 inside a space capsule? >> well, i think it really does have to be a test of the relationship. it's got to be a relationship that's solid. we've had some experience for this in the biosphere, as you mentioned. for me, it was incredibly comforting to have somebody there that i trusted, that was in it with me, that could help me when i was down, that could

a florida teen suspended after he helped wrestle a gun away from a potential school shooter. here's what happened, according to our affiliate, they reported the teen along with two other students grabbed the loaded weapon from a 15-year-old boy as he aimed it at another student threatening to shoot him. the 15-year-old was arrested, the teen and two others were suspended for three days.
7:22 pm
the teen's mother admits her son did admit her son refused to cooperate with investigators, but said he was scared. >> how can you be suspended for doing the right thing? >> all the kids that were involved in this, they should have a pat on their backs, because they did the right thing. >> they obviously wanted to hide their identity for fear of -- out of safety concerns, rather. school officials meanwhile told wftx that florida law allows for immediate suspensions if there is a potentially dangerous situation. the next story is one that is pretty hard to believe, an elderly woman unconscious on the floor, needing cpr or she will die. nobody is willing to help. nobody, they say they can't. it is apparently policy at this senior assisted living center. 911 tapes tell the story, and kelsey thomas of cnn affiliate,
7:23 pm
kget in bakersfield, california has the report. >> fire department what is your emergency please? >> yes, we need someone out at glennwood gardens as soon as possible, we have a lady with heart problems -- >> what is the address. >> she's unconscious and barely breathing. fire and ambulance crews are on the way. it takes about four minutes of question and answer for tracy halverson to assess the situation. >> we need to get cpr started. >> we can't do the cpr to this facility. >> then hand the phone to a passerby. if you can't do it -- give the phone to anybody there can do cpr. give them the phone, please. i understand if your facility is not willing to do it, give the phone to a stranger, this woman
7:24 pm
is not breathing, she's going to die if we don't get this started. do you understand? >> i understand. i am a nurse. but i cannot have our other senior citizens who don't know cpr -- >> i will instruct them. >> in the dining room. >> i will instruct them. is there anyone there who -- >> i don't understand why you're not willing to help this patient. >> i am, but -- >> then i'll walk you through it -- ems takes the liability for this. i'm happy to help you. this is ems protocol, okay? >> i don't know where he is. she's saying we have to have one of our other residents perform cpr. and she'll instruct and i'm not going to do that. >> is there anybody that works there that's willing to do it? >> we can't. >> we're just going to let this lady die? >> that's why we're calling 911? >> we can't wait. she can't wait right now. she is stopping breathing.
7:25 pm
>> she can't wait for them to get there. >> a little more than five minutes into the call, balis remains untouched, barely breathing on the dining room floor. >> you can talk to my boss and i'm -- >> they're refusing cpr, they're going to let her die. at the facility. >> when will the fire department be there? >> they're coming as quickly -- they've been on their way all this time but we can't wait, this lady's going to die. >> if you can get any stranger that walks by that's willing to help. i understand if your boss is telling you can't do it. but as a human being, i don't -- is there anybody there that's willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not at this time. >> a little over 7 minutes after glennwood gardens dialled 911, balis is taken to the hospital where she died.
7:26 pm
we went to glennwood gardens and asked why the staff refused to resuscitate balis. jeffrey too manier told me, it is the policy of glenwood gardens that staff does not attempt cpr. the policy is in place because it's not a nursing facility, it's an independent living facility, and there are no nurses on staff to provide assistance and residents are made aware of this when they move into the building. yet, there was a nurse on scene after balis collapsed. he issued a statement, in the event of a health emergency, our practice is to immediate call emergency medical personnel for assistance and wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel arrives. that is the protocol we followed. we will conduct a thorough internal review of this matter. we have no further comments at this time. he said the staff is supposed to call for assistance during an
7:27 pm
emergency and that's exactly what they did. >> lorraine balis is the woman who died, she's 87 years old, our affiliate did talk with her daughter. she said she is satisfied with the care that her mother received. basketball's bad boy dennis rodman now good will ambassador? close. not quite, we'll have that story coming up. 4g lte. 700 megahertz spectrum, end-to-end, pure lte build. the most consistent speeds indoors or out. and, obviously, astonishing throughput. obviously... you know how fast our home wifi is? yeah. this is basically just as fast. oh. and verizon's got more fast lte coverage than all other networks combined. so it's better. yes. oh, why didn't you just say that? huh-- what is he doing? my name is sunshine and i have three beautiful girls. i like taking advil® for a headache.

bottom of the hour now, let's take a look at the headlines including this. word from the white house that president obama will make a cabinet level nomination tomorrow. he's chosen sylvia matthews berwell to be the new director of the office of management and budget. burwell is currently the head of the walmart foundation. the queen of england spending the night and probably a little longer in the hospitaled 86-year-old queen is suffering from stomach flu symptoms and she has cancelled all of her official engagements for the week. egypt's ousted president will be retried in april. that from the country's state-run news agency. >> the 84-year-old successfully appealed a life sentence he received for his role in the deaths of hundreds of protesters two years ago. an exciting an optimistic announcement today for doctors
7:31 pm
working to cure hiv and aids, they say an hiv positive little girl is functionally cured of her infection. cured. the 2-year-old got the virus from her mother. the girl is the second person ever declared cured of hiv. the federal spending cuts that were never supposed to happen, well, they did happen. and lawmakers in both parties are going to make sure americans realize who's to blame. the sunday talk shows featured plenty of back and forth including remarks by john mccain who says it's up to the president to lead the country to compromise. >> this sequester. it requires the president to lead and for us to sit down. if he will stop going out and running campaign events and bashing republicans and coming back to washington. why not take a day and invite us all over and work this out. because american national security is at risk. i can find billions in cuts in
7:32 pm
defense spending that are absolutely necessary and appropriate. not this way. >> the president's economic adviser says mr. obama has been working. has been making calls to members of both parties of congress, in search of a bipartisan fix. >> everybody who is part of that conflict or negotiation in 2011 knows we put the sequester in place to force both sides to come back to the type of grand bargain than bowles-simpson have called for, that recognize it's not cutting defense and domestic spending like education and research we need. what we need is a compromise. >> earlier i talked with cnn contributors. we discussed former nba star dennis rodman's bizarre trip to north korea last week. we also covered the spending cuts. the presidentarbitrary. republicans are claiming victory. i began by asking lz if the president may have overplayed
7:33 pm
his hand. >> i don't think so. i think he hasn't necessarily done a great job explaining how this is going to impact us in the long run. if you're waiting for something to happen immediately because of the cuts, i don't think a lot of americans are going to feel bad. i would like to go back and talk about what happened between 2009 and 1999. we had 1.1% private sector job growth. we didn't feel that audit once. it was a gradual buildup. all of a sudden, when the recession happened, we're like holy cow, what happened. that's what's going to happen with these budget cuts. it's going to be a gradual thing. if we don't adjust it, we're going to be like holy cow, what happened. >> you talk about lz, that sort of long term effect. the new york times and it's second graph in the lead story said, lost in a talk of washington's dysfunction of this fact, paper at least. president obama and congress have reduced projected deficits
7:34 pm
by nearly $4 trillion by over a decade, and that is really the goal toward stabilizing the national debt. some people might argue, it might hurt right now, but it's better in the long run. >> you know, i don't think many people are arguing much of anything, people are just so tired about this topic, they're tired of being brought into a frenzy and a froth every three months by the government. i think it is a risky move for everybody involved, for congress and for the president. i don't understand how democrats and the president can rationalize not allowing the cuts to be not arbitrary, but actually specific and having more control on how the government cuts. look, here's the problem. the problem, number one, we've got a frenzy every three months. all they do is govern by kicking the can down the road. not by solving the big issue. problem number two is that if you ask most americans if they
7:35 pm
think the government is bloated, most americans will tell you, yes. if you ask americans, if they think that you can cut two and a half percent from government budgets, most americans will tell you yes, and most americans, most american businesses and families have had to cut themselves in the last several years, there's not that much sympathy. >> i've been to north korea twice. lucky enough to have been. it's a journalists dream to be able to meet kim jong-un face to face. many diplomats would fight for that chance as well. here, dennis rodman is the first american ever to meet face to face with him. what do you make of it? >> i don't. i just don't. i'm so thoroughly embarrassed for us, for north korea. so thoroughly embarrassed about this conversation. it's not really talking about anything serious. this is a publicity stunt.
7:36 pm
>> i'm with lz on this one. if you want, left's talk about his jacket and his choice of clothes. but we're not going to send peewee herman to negotiate the peace between israel and palestine. and we're not going to send mickey mouse to go solve the issue with syria. this is a joke, this is not serious, it's not diplomacy, i think -- if he'd like to stay in north korea and play one on one, with that dictator, i think it's fine with a lot of us. >> the forced spending cuts were perfect fodder for the folks at "saturday night live" last night. take a look. >> these cuts will affect our military, our civil service, federal construction projects. even grants to native americas.s and i'm the one who has to tell these folks, young man, there's no need to feel down.
7:37 pm
young man, pick yourself off the ground. young man, just 'cause you're funning us now, there's no need to be unhappy. >> gotta love it. from high schools to the pros, we've seen a lot of buzzer beaters caught on video this basketball season. you've never seen a finish quite like this one. it's next, have a look. and can women really have it all? can anyone? at the long term health benefits of taking multivitamins. hey used centr silver f t study... so i guess my wife was right. male anner ] centrum. ways your mostomplet

we've seen some pretty good ones this year, but you have got to see this amazing buzzer beater, watch. >> he tosses it, it's knocked around, and mt. vernon is going to hold on and win.
7:41 pm
>> hold on a second. are think going to count that? >> the shot counted. he's the school's star quarter back on the football team as well. the last second shot gave his team a one-point victory over mt. vernon high in the state playoffs. talk about a challenge. one woman tried to crack the nfl this week, but a squad injury forced lauren silverman to give up for now. she had hoped to become the first female kicker in the nfl as it is. she's the first woman invited to an nfl sponsored tryout. facebook's cheryl sandberg says women have an ambition gap in the workplace they should take more responsibility for their ambition.
7:42 pm
melissa myers banned telecomputing for all employees. a few weeks ago, she said she only needs two weeks of maternity leave. can women really have it all? children, rock solid marriage and a career? earlier i spoke with jill filopovic. >> they get used to seeing powerful and assertive women. >> how do we get there? >> right, it's one of the chicken and egg problem. we need women to be more assisti assistive, to take individual steps to pull themselves up. but we also need major institutional and cultural changes. we're the only country on earth that doesn't have federally
7:43 pm
mandated maternity leave, sick days or vacation days. it's hurtful to all women at all levels of employment. >> i spoke with bobbi brown, the make-up may have beenen, one thing she told me, she's written seven books or something like that. she said, i write all my best books in traffic jams, talking about multitasking. >> we need men to pitch in more, we really center these discussions around women, women arguing. part of the problem is that women have to take on so much more at home, because those of us who are married, partnered with men, don't have partners who are doing an equal share of the work. that's something that men need to work on and change, they need to step up. keep it here, cnn is taking a closer look at challenges
