insurance system, in this pool that will be created for uninsured workers and small businesses. he believes that would be a boom for consumers, help them get the best deal, keep the insurance companies honest. he believes competition is important. >> reporter: does that mean it's still alive? >> i'm not going to deal with the details of the president's speech, otherwise, there's no point in giving it. >> another official says the president is considering laying out a more specific vision of health care reform. if you would like to learn more, go to cnn.com/health care. check out the key players, the different plans and of course the controversial sticking points. you can even find the town hall meetings closest to you. for every person without health insurance, there are two who don't have dental. it's almost 100 million without dental coverage. if you are lucky enough to live in atlanta, you can go to a free

administration job, was laid off, two kids in college, took the position as a cash year in the interim. you're not finding it with men. we are finding men have a large difficulty doing that. >> it's by chance, not by design that women are now making up 50% of the work force and likely the numbers will go higher. >> it will go higher in the next month or two. we will get over 50%. i think, over the last 50 years, there has been a shift. more women in the workplace. more college educated women. as a whole, it's really peaked in the last year because of the economy. >> despite the gains, weekly earnings for women are still 80% that of men. we have to fix that. s the search for a 4-year-old boy in western pennsylvania is over. police say wyatt smith's body

you're going to hear more. it's good news, usually for the hurricane season as it brings stronger winds in the atlantic and weaken hurricanes. katrina, rita, ike, monster storms that made dealing with hurricanes a regular occurrence for residents on the gulf coast. this year is quiet. our weather patterns are changing and it could mean good news. el nino, the warming of waters in the pacific. when it happens, it changes the regular flow of the jet stream, bringing the strong winds through the southern u.s. and atlantic. jet stream winds can blow off the top of tropical systems and prevent them from developing or getting stronger. here is what el nino did to tropical storms in the past. 1982 to 83 brought the quietest hurricane season in 50 years.

one of the storms was alicia, a brutal hurricane that killed 21 in texas. 1997 to 98, seven named storms. well below the average of 11. it's not all good news. that season, the deadliest tornado outbreak in florida's history. one ripped roofs off hundreds of homes and killed 25 people. the jet stream brought storm after storm into california, torrential rains, mud slides, washed out roads and destructive waves pounded the state. it was the costliest winters on record for california estimating $550 million in damages for february alone. el nino is bad news for the eastern pacific hurricane season, too. generating more frequent and stronger storms.

in 2006, an el nino year, there were 18 named storms including hurricane john that killed five people in baja new mexico. there's no telling what it will do this time around. the climatologists are predicting it could strengthen and last through the winter of 2010. we are in what is a moderate el nino condition. two more months of above normal temperatures would mean a full el nino episode. as for the slow start to the hurricane season, now, we are starting to enter that peek. it doesn't matter how many storms get a name, what matters is if it hits the us and if we are prepared for it. >> what about the impact on california as the firefighters continue to battle the blaze. the weather has not been the

greatest, bringing the greatest conditions for them. >> we don't think it's having an impact on the fires at this time, the big concern is what's going to happen in the winter. they get heavy rain. when you are talking about burn area and no vegetation, it's going to run down and flood the valleys and cause mud slides. we'll be watching for that. >> we hope the best firefighter california. they have been hit hard the last couple years, not just this season, but the last couple years. thanks so much. take a look at this. have you seen this picture? it's a guard caught sleeping on the job. he's supposed to be standing watch over potential target for terrorists. now, he's paying the price for this snooze.

>> reporter: he said he reached out to the security guard. >> i said i don't want to be a jerk and report you. you have to promise me you are not going to be sleeping when you're guarding a bridge. he said it won't happen again, don't worry. >> reporter: when it did, with another guard, there was a bigger problem. >> if it was a deli and sleeping behind the county, no problem. when it's your job to protect us, then i take that very seriously. >> reporter: the port authority, that runs the security says boat guards were fired for sleeping on the job. the agency welcomes public individual lens and the port authority takes the safety of passengers very seriously. they have spent more than $4 billion on security since 9/11. he feels badly about the firings, he feels he did the right thing. a cousin and friend died on 9/11. >> if i can do one thing to help

one person stay alive, then i'll be very, very fulfilled. >> the port authority or the contractors would not release the names of the two men in the photos. the agency confirmed sleeping on the job was the reason for termination. next week marks the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. if it happens again, will we be prepared? how safe are the roadways, bridges and ports when protecting an attack? it's a week from today here in the news room. if you have questions, send them to cnn.com or blog/fred ricka. forces killed more than 50 suspected militants in the northwest tribal regions.

brace and get moving. with each step the device transfers the energy from the hop in your step to batteries. pop those in a digital camera or cell phone and the more you walk, the more you can talk. >> for walking -- for only one minute, you can produce about 20 minutes of talk time on a typical cell phone. it's a lot of power. >> reporter: it's still in the development phase, but researchers are hoping to have it available soon in a world where staying connected is key, cutting the power cord could give you a lot more room to roam. a massive fire and a massive reward for information that leads to the person who actually started it.
