infant's emotions figuring out what it is they want, bill. parents can learn with experience whether cries are hunger or discomfort. i can tell you hunger or discomfort across the room. bill: does that apply to teenagers? martha: there are a little trickier to read. have a great weekend everybody. bill: bye-bye. martha: happying now. jon: good friday morning to you i'm jon scott. jane: i'm jane skinner. in the top box, police caught the gay raymond taylor. he was serving three life sentences for attempted murder when he walked right out of a prison in baltimore yesterday. we'll tell you how they got him. jon: in the middle box, the northeast gets pounded with a deadly snowstorm again. 700,000 homes and businesses are in the dark right now. winds hitting more than 90 miles an hour in parts of new hampshire and in the nation's largest city, a chaotic morning. some transit service

suspended. more than 1,000 flights in and out of new york already canceled. jane: on the bottom we're waiting for a news conference at seaworld in orlando where the killer whale dragged a veteran trainer to her death as spectators were watching. what will happen to the whale named tili. nice coming across the country and around the world we'll bring it straight to you. jon: our top story, what happens now the way your health care gets dispensed of after nearly eight hours of argument president obama's health care summit wrapped up with democrats and republican lawmakers acknowledging some areas of agreement. neither side seems willing to give any ground what next steps should be towards passing any kind of reform. where do we go from here. let's check in with major garrett live in the white house. white house says they will consider some of the republic kage ideas. any indication which ones and how seriously he will consider them? >> reporter: yes there is, jon. what is the takeaway.

what will happen after the lengthy unprecedented conversation on live television about the future of health care reform? i talked to senior white house advisor david axelrod right after the summit ended yesterday. he said the president will contemplate. that is the word the white house is using contemplate republican ideas. and what are they in health care reform? i can give you three david axelrod mentioned to me. first of all, creating insurance pools for small businesses to make premiums and coverage more affordable. more republican ideas expanding preventative care within the confines of health insurance and selling insurance across state lines. now david axelrod told me that within the bills that the house and senate democrats have already passed there is republican idea from minnesota governor tim pawlenty to have insurance sold across state lines within regional or state compacts. he went on to explain what the president now is going to look at based on what happened yesterday. let's listen. >> there are folks on the republican side today said, no, we want to do this on national basis.

what the president said we need to have minimal standards so insurance companies aren't exploiting, exploiting their customers but, he's willing to explore it. >> reporter: willing to explore that in the future. how soon? how rapidly? is he going to ask democrats to put these republican ideas in legislation? david axelrod would not go that far. so the president may have listened but it may be a long distance from listening to enactment. we'll have to see. jon: what about the idea of a plan-b? we know one exists. is that where the president may be heading? >> reporter: not where the president is heading now not at least what the white house is saying. we know the plan exists. very slimmed down version. quarter of estimated one trillion dollars over 10 years. it would expand coverage for kids up to age 26 with families. parents insurance. expand medicaid a little bit. expand state health insurance program a little bit for indigent children. white house said time to not focus on incree men alism by

a solution sooner than later. again white house advisor david axelrod. >> our plan is to deal with a very big problem facing this country. in the ways that make sense. and, a lot of thought has been put into this. >> reporter: time is of the essence. the white house wants to bring this to a conclusion. the president set a maximum timeline of six weeks yesterday. six weeks more of health care debate. we'll see what happens. jon: major garrett at the white house. thank you. jane: house speaker nancy pelosi is at the microphone on capitol hill. we believe she is talking about health care. let's take a listen. >> very important small business is one of our focuses as you know. this is part of our on going broader agenda expanding lending to small businesses. building highways and transit, support job training hopefully with summer jobs in the next bill. and keep police, fire and teachers on the job. yesterday once again the

president brought together democrats and republicans to explore areas of agreement to seek out common ground and to discuss a path forward on health insurance reform. as many of you recall, one year ago, nearly, march 5th, of 2009, the president started this bipartisan conversation at the white house at the summit. it was a great day. it was house and senate democrats and republicans outside take holders, consumers, all present. of course the biggest presence outside the president was the when senator kennedy came into the room and said i'm here to enlist as a foot soldier in the fight in the campaign to pass health care reform. it had been his life's work. he would later say to the president, this is about, not about the details of policy. it's about the character of our country. many of us carry that with us as we go forward as we have done forward in this

campaign, and brought it to the table yesterday. we also brought to the table the concerns that american families have when they sit down at the kitchen table to talk about their job security, the education of their children and how they can afford that. jane: house speaker nancy pelosi talking about the health care meeting with the president and republicans yesterday. we're going to continue to listen to this. if she makes any headlines we'll bring them straight to you. the big question, what happens now. will democrats try to pass reform without republican support. as soon as we hear more, we'll let you know. we need to get to breaking news. this is happening in massachusetts. a 300-year-old dam has given way. take a look at pictures we've got. harris. what is going on? >> this is unbelievable situation for the families there. the emergency management agency in that area knowing they had some breaches along the way. now they have begun evacuations. some homes are flooded at this point. as all of that water from this 300-year-old dam is

flowing pretty freely now. they just wrapped up a news conference and i'm waiting to get the headline here to give to you. we're getting that tape in right now. as soon as i can tell you what the officials are saying for the latest about this evacuations i will. right now the important thing to know that the forge pond dam in massachusetts, freetown, massachusetts the old forge pond dam, had been breached and now it has given way. you can see the water now rushing into the streets of that area. residents evacuating, to get away from that rushing water. a lot of melting snow as i can imagine the they have had some rain. and of course the snow-a-cane calling the snow hurricane. bringing treacherous conditions up and down the east coast. i'm going to get off here and see if i can get what the emergency management officials are saying right this second. we want to know what the evacuations are looking

like. you have thousands of people in the way. let me get the information. when i get it will come back. jane: harris, thanks. jon: that breach may have been caused in part by this dangerous winter storm that's blasting the northeast but with hurricane-force winds, deep snow and lots of flooding. take a live look at times square. snow still falling in the big apple. all across the region falling trees and snapped power lines are blocking roadways and cutting electricity to at least 700,000 homes and businesses. planes, trains, bus lines reporting thousands of delays and cancellations. at least three deaths are being blamed on this storm. some rivers are flooding. others are close to spilling over their banks and we have a long way to go before this one is over. david lee miller is live in morristown, new jersey. how was it getting from new york city to where you are now, david? >> reporter: it was a very rough commute this morning, jon. the commute took well over an hour. normally might take less than half that amount of time.

on the way here as you would expect we saw a number of vehicles stuck in the snow. among them were some tractor-trailers and we should also point out that dramatically, almost all the bus line services today have been canceled. they have got some video of the new york city area and you can see for yourself just how trenchries the conditions were in and around new york city this morning. a significant number of people have decided to stay home but, there is also been a great number of fender-benders on the road. also, tragically, at least one death attributed to the storm in the new york city area. 46-year-old man walking yesterday in central park was killed when a tree limb collapsed under the weight of the snow. a short time later another tree limb collapsed in new york city because of the snow. this landing on a commuter bus. fortunately there were no passengers onboard and there were no injuries. but this explains just, underscores the extent of some of the problems caused by the storm. massive delays at all the

three airports in and around new york city. hundreds of thousands of people still without power. and at this hour here in morristown i can tell you at long last it does appear, jon, the snow is finally beginning to let up. if you take a look on the lighter side, over my shoulder off in the distance you can see some kids. moments ago they had a snowman they were building. i guess they're starting again from scratch. school has been canceled. most notably today, school was canceled in new york city, jon. mayor bloomberg said repeatedly school would be held at 5:00 this morning. city officials reversed that decision, recognizing how difficult this storm was going to make the commute for students. jon? jon: it is a mess. all right. david lee miller thank you. jane: we'll update you on what is happening in seaworld in orlando today. one of the prize possessions is a killer whale linked to the deaths of three human beings. the question is what will the theme park do with it. ili? we're getting a statement from the family of the trainer that was killed.

jane: right now we're waiting for a news conference from officials at seaworld in orlando. we're learning that, more on the death basically of that whale tili as it is now. this 12,000 pound whale that had killed earlier this week one of the veteran trainers at seaworld. this whale is considered to be a pretty valuable possession for seaworld because over the years it fathered 13 calves but has been involved with the deaths of three human beings. let's get to orlando salinas. orly, do you have anymore information what will happen with this whale and what they may say at this news conference coming up? >> reporter: sure do. let's first talk about this presser that is supposed to happen around 1:00 eastern time. jane, as we understand it, it is very possible that dan

brown, he is the president here at seaworld, he will speak. he will get up there. also a gentleman named chuck tomkins, head of animal training also will speak. there will be a handful of officials who will be up there and take questions is. from what i understand they will make a prepared statement. they will also express sympathy for the family of dawn brancheau. not sure how much detail they will go but express sympathy. and they will announce importantly, whether this sham hue believe show will continue. how far they're willing to go is another matter. what will they do with tilikum. talking about the 12,300 pound beast that they have included here that has been in captivity tore some 30 years. seaworld says it indeed will not put tilikum down. they will not euthanize that mammal for couple reasons. number one, it is a very, very important part what

goes on here at seaworld orlando. as you said, jane, he has sired at least 13 calves. a quite a few of the calves are part of the seaworld program in orlando. they say tilikum provides a great amount of social order for a large number of those whales that he sired plus others that he didn't sire. but since he is the biggest beast if you will, part of that program he commands a whole lot of attention not just from humans but other mammals that he is part of. now, there again they're having a question they might put him down. they're saying that is not going to happen at all. there are also questions out there, how in the world did they allow it mammal continue to be part of a show, be in front of other humans when he already has been linked to at least two deaths prior to brancheau's death? we also found out, i'm hearing from other scientists and people are jumping in other animal experts who said, and this is important, jane, these whales, these, these huge beasts are incredibly

intelligent. they have wonderful memories. they do not forget much. now, some of the scientists are now pitching, pitching in here, chipping in and they are saying look, indeed, this huge beast has been kept for a long time. he's been used for a breeding program. he has sired and been kept isolated from all of the other whales. they're saying it is very possible that because this is such an intelligent animal, he, for whatever reason, decided at that point, to lash out, and people say look, it is just a mammal. just an animal. it doesn't think. not according to some of the scientists. this is incredibly intelligent mammal. jane. jane: orlando salinas is waiting there for that news conference to begin. when it does, we'll take you there. orly, thanks. he was speaking we got more information from dawn brancheau's the trainer's family. they released a statement about her. quote, being a trainer was a lifelong dream she aheaved. she loved her job and.

she was a compassionate loving person who lived life to the fullest. she touched so many lives. those who knew and loved her suffered a tremendous loss, one so unexpected it is extremely difficult to process or comprehend at this time. our family sincerely appreciates everyone prayers and compassionate thoughts for dawn, her husband and family. jon? jon: "fox news alert". jane, we are also awaiting a news conference from new york's governor, david patterson. what a difference a week can make. we understand he will announce that he does not intend to seek a new term. patterson, describe as the accidental governor of the state. when eliot spitzer, the former governor was caught up in a prostitution scandal and resigned in disgrace after about a year in office. david paterson assended to governor's chair and has had a really rough time of late just in the last week, as

seen all kinds of rumors come out and unflattering profiles published in papers like "the new york times." we will have that news conference for you when it arrives. also more and more woman in this country diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast are now choosing to have double mastectomies. but will this drastic step actually save lives? there is new study from a reknowned cancer center. next we'll speak with an expert on the crucial information women need in three minutes.

jon: a "fox news alert". new york's governor, david paterson, expected to announce any moment now he will not seek a new term. air eric shawn with more from the newsroom.

>> reporter: it is a snowballing potential scandal when david paterson became governor of this state when eliot spitzer resigned because of issues with a prostitute. our report that governor david paterson will not seek reelection for full term in his own right. this coming after snowballing allegation the most damaging potentially involve reports that the governor and state police may have tried to intervene on a domestic abuse case involving one of his top aides, a woman claiming on halloween was punch and kicked and stripped by one of his top kaids. the -- aides the governor says she called him. the lawyer for the women says they did talk. this raises potential of conflict of interest the day she before she was supposed to go to court. he would ask the attorney general of this state, and drew como to investigate. last night the governor said he had no plans to seek reelection. here is what david paterson said last night. >> the same i campaigned but

i am talking to a number of elected officials around the state. as i would fellow democrats, to hear their opinion. >> reporter: in the wake of all that, look at this. this is the headline of "the new york post." the sister of corporate cousin, of "fox news channel", editorial writers demand that he not just run again but in fact he resign from the office of governorship. that likely will knot happen. we expect, according to the reports he will simply announce he is not seeking a full term in his own right. it is expected that andrew cuomo, potentially will be the democratic candidate. if that is the case, the republican candidate, rick lazio, the former long island that ran against hillary clinton in 2000. we'll see if the governor will have a statement about his future intentions. jon: we'll have that when it begins. eric shawn. thank you. jane: some medical news now. we're learning about today. when a woman is faced with breast cancer of course she also faces a lot of difficult decisions. take a look at these stats. last year more than 192,000

new cases were reported. more than 40,000 deaths from breast cancer. this disease affects one in every wait woman. kills more women in this country than any other form of cancer except for lung cancer. when faced with cancer in one breast, a lot of women are choosing preventive mastec misses basically taking off their other breast as well. according to new research out today from m.d. anderson cancer center in texas that might not be the wise he's choice. we have the director of the outcome research. good morning. >> good morning, jane. jane: explain what the headline in this study is? it is for woman already diagnosed not for women doing it preventatively because they have a history in their family and such. >> that's a good point. there is broad feeling out there amongst the public and doctors we recommend too many of so-called profill late tick mastec miss. when a patient doesn't have the breast cancer gene.

we are talking about the when patients come in with a breast cancer and say the left breast, it is sometimes believed or recommended or the patient's request that both breasts be removed at the same time and it makes the reconstruction easier in terms of the plastic surgery. we now know from that study at m.d. anderson only 5% of patients got a ben it in survival when they had both sides removed. jane: because of that, what is your advice to patients? >> well, it was pretty clear in that study that the 5% that had any survival benefit were patients under the age of 50, and they had early breast cancer that was estrogen receptor negative. that is a feature of the breast cancer. in the other patients there was really no benefit. i would not recommend a prophylactic mastectomy for anybody over 60. jane: dr. marti makary. thank you. >> thanks, jane. jon: this "fox news alert"

jon: bottom of the hour here's what's happening now. some brand new information on the day's big stories. intelligence legislation held up because some democrats are having second thoughts about a new criminal statute targeting cia agents. molly henneberg live in washington. >> reporter: hi, jon. an about-face from democrats they strip ad provision from a bill that would impose criminal punishments on cia officers and intelligence employees if they use harsh tactics interrogating terrorist suspects. the intelligence committee added amendment late in the game. it wasn't discussed in the

committee. house republicans and other democrats said it needed to be vetted and fleshed out so democrats took it out. jon: thanks, molly. it is illegal for small children to ride in a car without proper safety seats. should airlines follow similar rules? pry an wilson with that story. >> reporter: for years the they are required parents to purchase infant zoo set for children to use child restraints. faa never moved on the idea. the argument, if you force parents to buy extra seat on the plane and they might choose to drive. driving the faa says is more dangerous than flying. jon. jon: thanks, brian. border agents are getting better and better catching bad guys bringing bad stuff across our border. adam housley is along for the ride in tucson, arizona. adam? >> reporter: hi, jon a true mix of old and new. talking about nightvision goggles. high-tech radar and working with horses and riders on the ground. we went along for a ride with the horse team, one of

many across the southwest as they brought in quite a haul the other night. brought in 350 pounds of drugs and 40 illegals trying to sneak into this country. we'll have more on the story also coming up next hour. jon? jon: adam, brian, molly, that is your news. thank you. jane: want to get to this weather we're watching hitting the northeast today. it is really a massive snowstorm. in some parts it has hurricane-force winds. you're looking at a live picture just out side our studios midtown manhattan. when will this end? >> that is the good news. the snow will not be blockbusterish as we saw every night but we could see more inches. look at storm totals. 26.2 in tuxedo, beautiful part of new york. 16.9 in new york city. that was officially at 7:00 a.m. we'll see that push upwards of closer to 18 inches. look at this massive storm system. you can really see that

counter clockwise, a low right over new york. heavy snow moving into philadelphia and new york. and then albany and then towards boston. so we're not done yet. this low will actually hang out with us today, tomorrow and into sunday where it won't be as much snow but it's still going to be a nuisance. we'll see snowflakes in our forecast. a lot of parents are like, no, we don't need anymore but the kids are excited. i want to show you real quick. there is our future cast. still into the forecast as sunday into morning. i want to pay close attention to this next storm system that comes out of the west. this will be our next weather-maker into monday and tuesday bringing more snow to the deep south. if you can believe it. just non-stop. it's a weather forecaster's dream comes true. >> keeps you employed, jd. >> okay. >> viewers have been sending us pretty cool pictures of the storm. this is ronnie in queens, new york. that evergreen tree looks pretty but you can see how the branches are weighed

down. the snow is heavy and wet taking down a lot of trees and power lines over the area. if you have any photos. if you have video as well. foxnews.com. e-mail it and go right to our web site. click to the link on the homepage there. foxnews.com. called, ureport. send right in. jon? jon: president obama's summit, it was meant to be a way for both parties to find common ground on health care reform after. after that marathon meeting, one thing was clear, there is a lot of work left for both sides. >> we want to do a bill for the american people. we're going to continue to work very hard. we're ready to do it. the president said we have to do something very soon and i agree with him but we're willing to work with them. but time is of the essence. >> we're happy to continue to discuss areas of agreement. it is just that i do not believe there will with be any republican support for this 2700-page that the american people are so overwhelmingly opposed to.

jon: so after nearly eight hours of televised talks, what was accomplished? let's talk about it with tucker carlson, the editor of daily caller.com and "fox news" contributor. jeff nussbaum, a former speechwriter for vice president's al gore and joe biden. welcome to both of you. jeff, one democratic strategist was quoted as saying essentially came out to be a tie this meeting between democrats and republicans, he says, this is a democrat speaking a tie goes to the republicans. do you see it that way? >> i don't. a i don't see as tie. democratic strategist in question is lieberman strategist. we'll leave process arguments out of it. i think it is not a tie. actually there were two big audiences here and both audiences saw what democrats needed them to see. first audience was democrats them service who have been running a little scared. they saw their president get up there and take republican arguments one by one and knock them down. i think democrats in the house and senate got to see they're going to get air cover from this on their

president and he is not going to let it go. the other audience is the american people. you heard it in the clip you just showed there. i think at the end of the day, despite all the discussion, republicans are really clear, they're not for this bill. they're not for health care reform. and so, if it is a question being for something or being against something, people saw very clearly democrats are for something. the republicans against something. being against something is not a good political strategy. i will steal tucker carlson's talking point here, tucker will say they're against something that is wildly unpopular. but the truth is this bill is pretty popular, if you describe to people its components parts. jon: okay. i don't know, the polls i saw this morning indicated majority of americans, tucker don't much like, a majority do not want this healthcare bill passed way it is. >> so the argument, jeff with all respect is making people aren't smart enough to understand what the bill really is. when they find out they will love it. this is the white house strategy from day one, which is assumption more people hear from barack obama, more

they hear him describe his program the more they love him and program. there isn't any evidence of that. i mean the truth is there are hard electoral realities they're bumping up against. in massachusetts voters there, one of the most liberal states in the country, single most liberal rejected this health care plan in the form of elected scott brown senator. so the bottom line question do they have 218 in the house? do they have 50 in senate for reconciliation plan of the as of today i don't think they do. i don't think that number is going to increase in the next four weeks. jon: what about that? the president we know has this so-called, plan-b, a much, sort of stripped-down version of health care, jeff, would he consider trying to get something like that passed and call it a victory? >> you know, i don't know what the internal strategy is. i think what's clear and president said it in his closing remarks at the end of the mayor dhon summit which is, if there is not going to be agreement, then they're going to go to procedural things. and, people can cry foul over procedural things like

reconciliation all they want but truth is democrats do have a majority for the larger package and i think that you will see democrats find a way to exercise that larger majority. if i could say one other thing which is that, i think lamar alexander is getting a lot of praise starting it off being very conciliatory saying we want the president to succeed. that was the tone people thought would exist throughout. although i want, that type of statement is simply made not credible by the fact that in the last year republicans have obstructed over 100 times things that the president has tried to work for. so, i mean the idea of saying you want -- obstructing everything they do. it loses credibility and undercuts the entire argument. jon: but as the president said, yesterday, tucker, that's why we have elections. >> of course the bottom line these guys don't know what they're doing. if they did they would have started out a year ago, here are four things we'll do to improve the health care system. we'll not try to fix it all in one year. that is impossible and everyone knows that. three of them are democratic

idea, sort of republican idea, they would have had that done by october. the president is convinced god anointed him to fix everything in one fell swoop. that is not how american politics work and life works. he will fail to get anything because he wouldn't accept less than that. totally amateurish. jon: is there, jeff, you said that you know, looks like we lost jeff. owing to the satellite, satellite system. sorry about that. any wii. -- anyway. tucker you get the last word. tucker, sorry about that. >> telling what jeff would say. jon: given what happened in massachusetts, should republicans, you know, let the president have what he wants and do battle as much as they can, if it gets passed it gets passed? >> i mean at this point the republican vie of the health care bill is irrelevant. no one on that side is supporting it.

this is solely a question will moderate democrats support this legislation and again, as of today, friday, at end of february, i don't think they have the 218 in the house and 50 in the senate. that may change but i doubt it. jon: tucker carlson and the now absent jeff nussbaum who lost his slot to the satellite gods. sorry about that, jeff. thanks for being with us, both of i. jane: we continue to watch, jon, this situation out of tacoma, washington. we're hearing a person has been shot at an elementary school there called the birney he will plenty trischool. there are initial reports this may have been a teacher at school and shooter may have been somebody known to her. we're trying to confirm all that. we'll bring you more details as soon as we get them.

jon: in this "fox news" alert we want to get you some more on those reports jane just mentioned of a school shooting in tacoma, washington. harris faulkner is on it from the breaking newsdesk. harris?

>> we're taking a live look right now. birney elementary in tacoma, washington where the tacoma school district is confirming to the associated press a teacher has been shot. we are working to confirm her condition at this point because there is some conflicting reports out there. but according to the associated press, the medical crew is are woulding on this teacher who has been shot. reports have said, that this teacher may have known the shooter and in fact, at one point as they were looking for the suspect, that's the information that had come out, that this person was known to the school. here are a couple of bits of good news in all of this because there is a little bit to report. this happened at 7:35 a.m. so it is just under an hour ago, about an hour ago. we're getting reports there were no large groups of children, students, yet, at this school. so that is the good news. no large groups of students in attendance at this time and there were no other injuries reported in all of this i'm working to confirm what her condition is this

teacher and also the whereabouts and condition of the suspect. when i get that information i'll come back. jon? jon: harris faulkner. thanks. >> holly record book you could say. the very first batman comic book sold for more than a million dollars. jon: whoa. jane: i bet you are comic book kid. jon: not so much. jane: i'm a little geeky. might have have a few in the library. taking away the most expensive book set by superman just a couple days ago. by the way jon knows i'm kidding. jon: you're kidding come on. jane: they both original sold, jennifer, 10 cents each? >> you're saying jon is super anchor. jon: now i wish i had been a comic book kid. >> we put him in a comic book. jon: i was around in 190 when those things came out. >> the last time this comic book changed hands is 40 years ago. the seller of the comic book just recently, bought it for $100. now it is selling for more than a million. but part of the reason why this comic book went for so

many money is that the superman comic book sold just a couple days ago, broke the record with a million dollar price tag. and, that was three times higher than that comic book ever had sold for before. it was a game-changing week. and what happened the second comic book that was very valuable one, this batman, comic book, benefited from superman going for such a higher value. you're looking at a comic book again from 1939. first time you ever saw batman. as jane just mentioned the first time, if you were there in 1939 you could buy it for just a dime. jane: wow!, that's incredible. how does it measure up with other collector items. >> thinking about things under your bed or baseball cards. baseball cards very much a very valuable item. honus wagner, considered the best baseball player in history. his card is, rookie card is actually more than 100 years old. and it has gone for $2.8 million. so baseball cards are still very, very value afcial.

looking at pop culture item we could relate to, michael jackson's white glove, it went for $350,000 just in november. imagine what that will be worth in 100 years. tough to call but those are couple examples for you. jane: waiting still for the news conference at seaworld in orlando on the killer whale named tili. a veteran trainer as you probably know, when tili grabbed her by her ponytail and pulled her under the water. the question what happens to this orca? will they allow him to perform? will they allow him to work with people again? this brings back terrifying moments from a woman who was attacked by an orca 40 years ago. you will hear from her next. >> she dumped me and i fell into the trough of water and turned around on a dime and grabbed me in her mouth. i was basically sitting on her bottom jaw with the teeth on my, on my sides and i was hanging onto the top of her head during most of it. 

jane: happening right now, seaworld is saying it will keep tilly, the killer whale at the theme park but hasn't decided if he would perform in front of audiences again. we're waiting to hear from officials. they will hold a news conference a little over an hour from now. on wednesday, you probably know this by now, a male orca grabbed his trainers woman there, dawn brancheau, a veteran trainer, grabbed her by her long ponytail, dragged her under water and killing her in front of a crowd. there were kids in the crowd and people were pretty horrified. this attack brought back awful memories for a woman in california, anne godsey, she was attacked by a killer whale back in the '70s. here's what she had to say. >> i heard about dawn being, being killed and, i realized that i had been waiting 40

years to get that phone call, that someone had died from, from this whale. and, my heart just sank, and my sympathy goes out to this family that, how devastating this is. jane: let's look forward a bit. richard ellis from the american museum of natural history in new york city and an expert on marine mammals. i can't tell you, richard, how many said to me, just like free willie but free tilly. why don't they set the huge orca, 12,000 pounds, 30 years old, back into the wild? >> that is one of the good questions but the answer to that probably has to do with jaws more than anything else. assuming they turned him loose, what would people think if they knew swimming offshore, wherever it was, swimming offshore was a whale that liked to kill people? that wouldn't work. they have to find some other disposition of poor old tilly. jane: what happened with

kako, the whale in free willie, that whale eventually died. it was really never fully released? >> that's right. they tried to release him. conditioned him. tried to release him in icelandic water where he came from, ultimately he never returned to the wild. he hung around where they released him. that doesn't seem to be an answer either. it is kind of difficult to figure out what they ought to do about this whale. jane: when you look at this story, what happened here? people have also said he is just too big to be in captivity and in those tanks. he is too stressed out. that's what happened. he just snapped. what in your opinion happened? >> it is like a breaking news story here because when i first learned about this, i had assumed that the whale reached up and grabbed her and pulled her into the water. i now learned, one there is a video of this event and what happened is she was in the water to start with. then she got out of the water. so it is conceivable that this whole attack is an attempt on the whale to

bring her back so she would continue to play with her, not attack her and kill her. jane: we're looking at home video taken just moments before the actual ultimate attack happened. so, in his, the mind of this whale maybe, it was actually playful? >> well we will never know what is in the mind of the whale. because we can't ask it. but as we see the events a as they played out it becomes less and less of a malicious, premeditated attack as it does a response to what she did or didn't do. got into the water. got out of the water. had a ponytail, whatever. but the whale was responding to her, not just randomly acting. jane: we have less than 30 seconds but if you were in charge here at seaworld, what would you do with the whale? >> i would isolate him because he is a big breeder as they say. i would isolate him. keep him out of the public eye. we know that people are going to come to seaworld. they want to see this whale. if he isn't there, at least

they will play down this event in the history of marine mammals in captivity. jane: they have bred him. he fathered 13 calves already and there is potential for more. just one last point, friends of dawns said she had that long ponytail growing it for the program, locks of love. they grow it for kids who lost their hair through different illnesses. makes it even more sad. we're expecting that news conference in just a little over an hour. jon? mr. ellis, thanks. >> thank you. jon: a bit of breaking news. house of representative just approved a bill to reauthorize the nation's intelligence programs. the final vote on the measure, 235-168. now, leadership in the house had hoped to approve the measure yesterday but, in a stunning move, the democratic brain trust yanked the bill off the floor after a controversy erupted over punishing a cia interrogators who might cross the line while questioning terrorism

"happening now," there's a desperate search north of san diego for a teenage girl who hasn't been seen in nearly a day, her name is chelsea king. her family says she went out for a run many the rancho bernardo area and hasn't returned home. more than 100 deputies and volunteers are out looking for clues. we're going to be talking to a family spokesperson coming up in just a couple minutes. also want to get an update on something out of tacoma, washington, a shooting at an

elementary school. harris, what's the latest? harris: i just got off the phone, and i have been able to confirm that the teacher who was shot, they had worked on her for quite a while, the teacher who was shot has passed away now. i can confirm that shooting, then, is a fatality at the school and that she would have been there pretty much alone in her classroom. the students had not reported for school yet, it's an elementary, k-5. school doesn't start until 9 a.m. on the west coast, and this happened about 7:30 or so in bernie elementary. so the teacher has died, and now i'm looking for information on that suspect. last word they were still looking for the suspect. we are seeing conflicting reports that the suspect may also have been shot in an altercation with authorities. you're watching video that has just come into fox news channel now, the ambulance reporting to the scene. we were told that a medical crew worked for quite a little bit on the teacher, she was a special education teacher. that is always information that

i know. they have not released her identity yet to the media, so i'll continue to stay on this and watch out for any details because if there is a search for that suspect, we certainly want to know about it and whether or not this was, they believe, isolated or if there's any danger to the public, so that is my next quest at this point. back to you guys. jane: harris, thanks. jon: to an update now, a man who escaped from a maryland prison is captured in west virginia. police in baltimore expected to hold a news conference minutes from now. yesterday 26-year-old raymond taylor just walked out of a prison in baltimore pretending to be another inmate who was due for release. james rosen live at the baltimore police headquarters, he joins us now by phone. what happened here, james? >> reporter: jon, that sound you may be able to hear in the background is the collective sigh of relief on the part of the maryland and baltimore law enforcement community that this error may not have resulted in

the kind of damage that it could have. what we know is that sometime before 10 a.m. eastern time today the police task force in baltimore, this is a baltimore city police, maryland state police and corrections officers, nabbed raymond taylor in martinsburg, west virginia. it is accessible via the mark train if you transit through washington, d.c. and switch lines to the brunswick. this task force, by prior agreement, can cross state lines. we understand that's how they got him. however, they will still have to follow established expedition procedures. it's unclear exactly when he will return to maryland. it is most likely he will be returned directly to the super max facility where he normally spends his life sentence for attempted first degree murder. jon: james rosen from baltimore, thank you. jane: the dust is still settling

from the pratt's health care summit -- president's health care summit. president and congressional leaders working to try to find some common ground on overhauling health care, an issue, of course, that affects every single one of us. after the hours and hours and hours of talking, both sides, well, they seem to be pretty much right where they started. what happens now, jim angle? seven hours of back and forth, where does that leave us? >> reporter: well, jane, it's not clear where we are today after republicans offered a lot of ideas they argued should be included, they also argued congress doesn't do comprehensive reforms very well and insist ised the current bills be thrown out and congress start fresh. president obama and the democrats were not willing to accept that, and the president made clear something will happen soon one way or the other. >> is there enough serious effort that in a month's time or a few weeks' time or six weeks'

time we could actually resolve something? and if we can't, then i think we've got to go ahead and make decisions, and then that's what elections are for. >> reporter: republicans argue that the substantial margin of the public opposes the democratic plans, and they argue that minor changes over a few weeks will not be enough. >> it's not going to be possible with that kind of an approach to come together within the time frame that he indicated if he insists, as senator mcconnell just said, on starting with this 2700-page bill and then tweaking it to adopt some of our ideas. >> reporter: democrats seem ready to press ahead with our without republican support or ideas. jane? jane: jim, what are the democratic lawmakers saying about the substance of what we saw yesterday? >> reporter: well, you may have noticed that president obama was listening intently in part, perhaps, so he could challenge republican arguments, but some democratic lawmakers wont even

look at republicans. here is speaker pelosi from this morning. >> didn't have many other ideas except let's start over, i don't like the process. that wasn't, shall we say, fertile territory for us to incorporate. >> reporter: now, president obama seemed open to some ideas, it's not clear how they'd be encounted into the legislation since speaker pelosi thinks they're already included. keep in mind, congressional democrats have not agreed to the changes the president has proposed, the house and senate have major differences between them, in fact, the biggest obstacle for the president so far has been getting democrats in the house and senate to agree on a single bill. jane? jane: jim angle in d.c., thanks. jon: he is one of the most powerful people on capitol hill, new york congressman charlie rangel, and he's in a lot of hot water after his own colleagues

say he broke house rules after he's accused of accepting trips to the caribbean from major corporations. rangel says he is not the one to blame. take a listen. >> i don't want to be critical of the committee, but common sense dictates that members of congress should not be held responsible for what could be the wrong doing of mistakes or errors of staff unless there's reason to belief that the -- believe that the member knew or should have known, and there's nothing in the record to indicate the latter. jon: the story is far from over. the congressman is facing several other investigations as well. steve centanni is following all of them from washington. what exactly is the ethics committee saying about the caribbean trips, steve? there are well, they claim, jon, they got false information before they approved the trips, that the foundations sponsoring the events was backed by

corporate funding and that rangel might not have known that, but two of his staff members did. the committee does not find sufficient evidence to conclude rangel haddage knowledge, however, the report finds that representative rangel was responsible for the knowledge and actions by his staff in the performance of their official duties. rangel himself held an unusual evening news conference wondering out loud what the ethics ruling really means. >> i have to now deal with my lawyer as to what the hell do they mean that something's impiewded? does it mean no matter what the staff member does if the member doesn't know it that the member could be charged and varnished publicly for it? >> reporter: rangel refused to answer questions from reporters at last night's news conference. jon? jon: so these caribbean trips, which corporations were the sponsors? >> reporter: companies like at&t, ibm and citicorp to name a

few. if rangel and other members of congress who attended did not know there was corporate sponsorship, that's how to understand how they didn't because we have some pictures of the event supplied to us by a group called the national legal and policy center, and they show banners with the company logos in plain view. it also reported, it's also reported that corporation executives from these companies spoke during the meetings, yet the ethics committee did approve the trips beforehand. they claim they got false information. jon: steve seven centanni in washington, thank you. gibe jane wide spread power problems in the northeast as the system is slammed with snow, heavy rains, winds. jon: i can see the snow coming down right now. jane: enormous flakes. i guess you can see some of them coming towards our camera. these are about as big as it's been. it's been going on for more than -- about 24 hours. jon: i was thinking about staying home, taking my

[laughter] i'm sorry. my imagination just goes a little bit wild. okay. it is a lighter moment. jon: calm yourself down, janice. jane: please. >> i know a lot of you are just done, over, where's the spring? you know, it looks like we're going to see several more weeks of this active storm system across the country. so let's take a look at some of these storm totals, okay? three feet of snow in parts of new york. these are storm totals we're gathering, central park's totals of 16.9, that was as of 7 a.m., and you can sees the coming down again. this low pressure system is going to remain with us tomorrow

college where there is a report -- and i have to stress at this point it is only a report -- of a gunman on campus. you can see the squad cars parked in front of the building, these are live pictures just coming into the fox newsroom. live pictures as the students stream out, the police go in, and everybody tries to figure out contactually what's going on. this on the same day a teacher reportedly was shot, well, was shot outside a elementary school in tacoma. this oklahoma city community college where students are streaming out, the school reportedly locked down but clearly they're letting some of these students out of the building after a report of a gunman on campus. we are working to get more information. when we do so, we'll bring it to you live. jane: also, a frantic mother calls 911 when she finds her daughter is unresponsive. take a listen. >> tell me what's going on. >> my daughter's -- >> your daughter's what?

jane: state police in kentucky are searching for the person responsible for the death of a nearly 2-year-old girl. we have the parts of the frantic 911 call from the little girl's mom, and the dispatcher says he's never heard anything like it in all his years on the job. take a listen. >> my, my -- >> tell me what's going on. >> my daughter's -- >> your daughter's what? >> my daughter's dead. she's cold and she's -- hurry, go get -- >> she's turning purple? >> no, she's already -- she's bruised all over. >> got a child, unresponsive. not breathing. ma'am? >> what can i do for her? jane: harris has been working on this. that takes your breath away. harris harris it does. it goes on for 15 minutes, jane. it's just unbelievable. little danica charles, 22 month old was a victim of a homicide.

she had talk to her head, her body and her extremities. they're trying to figure out who did this harm to that child. the mother thought the little girl was unconscious, she was later pronounced dead at the hospital. authority thes have not said whether or not they have looked closer at family members or the mother herself, they are just simply saying they are looking for a person responsible. you mentioned that dispatcher, he's been with on the job for 12 years. he stayed as calm as he could, very, very impressive but clearly shaken after in this, said he'd never heard anything like it in all of his time there. fifteen minutes the mom tried to revive the child. when the authorities got there, they said that the child had visible injuries to her, that she had been badly hurt. 22 month old danica charles, what happened to her, it's a big story right now in kentucky as they've asked for the public's help even for any answers in this case, looking for tips from them as well.

jane: i know you'll let us know when you know something more. jon? jon: a major political story developing in new york state, reports that governor david paterson will not seek election to a full term just a week after he announced he was running. why is he dropping out and who might run in his place?

spitzer announced he wasn't going to run, not quite for the same reason, but certainly a serious one as well. jon: well, this leads to potentially back to back situations where governors leave office, i mean, i guess we're not talking about necessarily a retirement here for paterson but leaving office under a cloud of controversy and ethical charges. but that wouldn't necessarily hurt the democrat who might stand to run in his place, huh? >> reporter: that's true. eliot spitzer resigned two years ago in a prostitution scandal, right now the guy who's certain to be the democratic nominee for governor, andrew cuomo, is investigating david paterson in a possible criminal matter. either way, andrew cuomo is going to be the democratic nominee come nofd here in new york. jon: how does he stack up against republican nominations?

>> reporter: he blows them ahead. rick lazio beating him by 40 or 50 percentage points, it should be a very easy win for the attorney general son of the former governor, of course, mario cuomo. jon: so, again, the fact that the current governor is embroiled in some scandals and the former governor, both democrats, the form ther governor, well, you can't get much worse than getting caught up this a prostitution scandal, especially after you served as attorney general. voters aren't going to take that out on andrew cuomo? >> no indication of that. this is a heavily democratic state. andrew cuomo is now the most popular political figure in new york. it's possible, seriously, if the republicans had a candidate of stature that could be exploited and used by the republicans, but right now rick lazio doesn't look like that candidate. jon: patterson just said on sunday he was going to run went again. what happened? >> reporter: you have to give "the new york times" credit for it, they had a remarkable story yesterday with very specific

details that links the governor to an effort to intimidate a woman in the bronx who said she was the victim of a very brutal attack by one of the governor's top aides. she was trying to get an order of protection from a court to protect herself. the indications are that the state police and maybe the governor himself intervened in a way to try to prevent her from getting that order to protect his own aide rather than trying to look out for the interests of this woman. jon: fred dicker from the new york pote, the albany bureau chief, the state editor, i should say, fred, thank you. jane: we e continue to watch the situation at the oklahoma city community college. police have responded because there are reports of somebody with a gun on campus. the spokesperson for the college has told the local newspaper that there were reports of a gun in the library there, so we're working to get more details and confirm that. also adam houseley is with the border follow in arizona where agents are going old school, adam? sphwhrr yeah, they're going old

really smart. jenna: i'll do my best. we have existing home sales. remember, previously lived-in homes are the bulk of the market, and economists expected to see those sales go up. instead i they went down to the lowest level we've seen since last june, and that's concerning. remember, we had that first time home buyer tax credit, so we have a time frame to motivate buyers, the weather could be a pack to have there, absolutely. now, we get three readings of gross domestic product. our first reading showed the economy grew at 5.7%, this reading today shows it grew at 5.9% which shows a little bit more robust growth. the thing is, we're seeing consumer spending which makes up about 70% of our economic growth overall really didn't play as big of a role which leads us to that question, again, if consumers aren't buying homes, aren't contributing to gdp, that means our economic recovery is

really based on businesses back filling all that low inventory that they had during the recession. it's a little confusing about where we are. jon: and you said they're still doing some of the math. jenna: we'll have a final reading in just a couple weeks. we don't expect huge changes, but you never know. jane: the border patrol agents on horseback hunting down drug smugglers using some high-tech gear, and right now they're on track to break a record for marijuana seizures at the arizona/mexico border. adam houseley is in tucson. what was it like, adam? >> reporter: oh, jane, it was awe amazing. you know, the agents tell us they've seen a massive increase in drugs coming across the southern border here, and the equipment you talk about does help in terrain like this, but actually getting there on the ground and stopping these drug smugglers and human traffickers takes a man on a horse. well suited to secure remote

areas of america's southern worder -- border, we mount up with agents with the u.s. border patrol's horse or unit as they prepare for a night in the so known desert tracking down trouble. >> they love the chance to be out in the field on horseback, being able to track, to apprehend, to do what we are here for, to protect our nation's borders. >> reporter: working with night vision and radar, the team quickly gets pointed in the right direction. much of this vast, dark and remote border area only accessible on foot or horseback. >> the horse will stop, so it's safer for us. we can get, we can get close and get far away if need be. >> reporter: brian reed runs the station horse team, and on this night it's quite a ride catching hundreds of others trying to sneak into the united states. horses see better at night, they're quieter, they move faster through the desert. in this case more than 40 are taken into custody.

[speaking spanish] >> reporter: just seven border agents who have no trouble as they keep the peace on horseback. >> they see a horse, and they think, oh, i'm not going to run. with an atv, they can hear it coming. a horse, we get right up on 'em. they don't want to hurt the horse, so it makes everything a lot easier. >> reporter: these teams can be found all along the border from texas to new mexico, arizona and california. they hope to add more riders in the coming months, of course, that has to come with an increase in budget, but right now they're pretty successful down here. much of our southern border is protected area, so taking a horse out here in some of these wild areas is much more sensitive than driving out an atv or suv. jane? jane: adam, thank you. get more on this story from adam saddling up with the border preschool there, see more exclusive video, go to foxnews.com/live shot right on

our web site. jon: as you probably know, there are laws requiring child safety seats in cars, but what about airplanes? should the airline industry be required to make sure that babies and small kids are put in special seats for their flights? right now the faa encourages parents to use such seats, but they are not required. brian wilson is live in washington with more on this. why the double standard here, brian? why require car seats for infants but not require special seats on airplanes? >> reporter: it's a great question, jon, and it drives aviation safety experts absolutely crazy. first, what do you do in a crash situation if you've got a child in your arms? perhaps the bigger concern, unexpected turbulence. take a listen. >> you know, when everything's supposed to be all stable and you're flying along and all of a sudden the jet hits clear air turbulence and, you know, the kid goes flying. and it, you know, the kid has no vote in this. >> reporter: in-flight

turbulence is the number one cause of injury to airline passengers and flight attenabout thes. for years the ntsb has been asking the faa to require parents to put their children in the proper restraints. the faa made it clear they just weren't going to budge on the issue, jon. jon: so to be fair and balanced here, what does the faa have to say? >> reporter: well, here is the faa logic from the spokesman from the faa. quote, we encourage but do not mandate the use of child safety devices on airplanes because of the increased safety risk to families who, if forced to purchase an extra airline ticket, might choose to drive. the risk, they say, is significantly greater in automobiles than airplanes and, jon, the faa falls under the purview of the secretary of transportation, ray lahood, who just this week at the toyota hearing said safety is his number one issue. there is a lot of talk these

days at the dot about distracted driver. jon: thanks, brian. jane: what will happen to the efforts to overhaul your health care? will the democrats go it alone and try to get their reforms passed without the republicans? so many arthritis pain relievers -- i just want fewer pills and relief that lasts all day. take 2 extra strength tylenol every 4 to 6 hours?!? taking 8 pills a day...

and if i take it for 10 days -- that's 80 pills. just 2 aleve can last all day. perfect. choose aleve and you can be taking four times... fewer pills than extra strength tylenol. just 2 aleve have the strength to relieve arthritis pain all day. i have a question about these clams. the taste is amazing. clam transfer. clams. are theseeally fresh-caught clams in your new england clam chowder? we take what the ocean offers, be it clams, camaraderie or heartache. wait, what? i hink that was a yes.

[ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup.

jane: "happening now" in your top box, right now we're monitoring reports out of oklahoma city that the community college there is on lockdown after a word of a possible gunman on campus. the school, we're told, is being evacuated. in the middle, a female teacher has been killed today during a school shooting in tacoma, washington. police are still looking for the suspect, the woman is believed to be a teacher at the elementary school. and on the bottom, we're monitoring the storm barreling through the northeast. right now more than a million homes and businesses are without power. also a whole lot of delays at airports not just in new york, but it's affecting airports

across the country. jon: and coming up at the top of the hour, it's "america live" with megyn kelly. she's here with a preview. megyn: i'm coming to you from the snow globe, jon, would you look at this? jon: it's crazy back there! megyn: you are going to see that seaworld presser at the top of the 1:00 hour, plus the secretary of homeland security joins me live on the threat of the home grown terror here in this country, plus the hero teacher who took down that shooter at the colorado school. he's my guest live, wait until you hear his story. and it's anchor wars on kelly's court, what the male anchor said about the female anchor that led to a big suspension. it wasn't jon scott, he's good. he's a good man. jon: wasn't me. megyn, we'll look forward to that. 15 minutes, thanks. megyn: thanks, jon. jane: aren't you wondering what's going to happen to your health care? president obama indicated he and his fellow democrats are ready to move forward with or without

republican support. he made it pretty clear before the cameras at the summit yesterday at the end. take a listen. >> i'm going to ask myself and i ask of all of you is, is there enough serious effort that in a month's time or a few weeks' time or six weeks' time we could actually resolve something? and if we can't, then i think we've got to go ahead and make some decisions, and then that's what elections are for. jane: what say the republicans who have their own ideas for health care? peter rosscomb sits on the house ways and means committee. the congressman was there at yesterday's summit. we should point out that george miller, democrat of california, was supposed to come on with us today. unfortunately, he had to cancel just a few minutes ago. congressman, what are you expecting to come from the white house and the democrats? are we looking at what's called reconciliation here where they'll try to pass it through

without the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster? >> jane, i think the approach yesterday was basically a six-hour seminar or infomercial, and the president sort of thinks if only he can talk more about his bill, then the american public will sign up for it and have this aha moment, but i don't think what he realizes is that he is a skilled communicator, he has communicated through joint session speeches and talk about hall meetings and even -- town hall meetings and even super bowl preludes, the public understands what's in the bill, and they've rejected it. i think the premise yesterday was what's it going to take for republicans to vote for this bill that americans don't like, and we've said let's start with a clean sheet of paper. jane: they've been pretty -- they've been pretty clear though, dick durbin, quote, we can't just quit. this is a once in the a political lifetime opportunity, so if you're opposed to it, how do you fight back? >> well, look, is this about the democratic party and their aspirations, or is this about

the american people? the american people have cleary spoken over these past several months, they've spoken to me and many others in our districts, they've spoken in the elections in new mexico and virginia and -- jj and virginia and massachusetts. they do not want this bill. they were hopeful at the beginning. i gave the president credit, i said, look, it was more than a bum sticker when you started talking about this, but the more people have listened, the more they've shied away from this massive government takeover of health care and the notion of taking on a sixth of the economy in the twinkling of an eye is something that the general public has said we don't want to see. we want incremental reforms where republicans and democrats come together, pass one bill at a time and break this thing down. but it doesn't have to be this big, monster bill. jane: but it doesn't look like that's coming, this piecemeal approach, potentially. you two back to your district -- go back to your district, and they're going to be mad at you too. >> my district is saying, stand

up against this onslaught of massive spending and massive government takeover. and i think there is a real sense of clarity. look, the only thing that there is bipartisan related to this bill is bipartisan opposition. republicans are opposed to it on principle, many democrats are opposed to it. the public entrusted, jane, this majority with a supermajority in both chambers. they got al franken, they got everything they need but within their own party they can't come up with a program. so i think that it's, unfortunately, the president has made a decision rather than fully engaging the minority party and saying, where are these common areas that we can work together, instead he's saying essentially, look, you're either on the bus, or you're under the bus, and i think that's an unfortunate approach. jane: how do you give hope to constituents back home, then? senator tom harkin said in this country we are drowning in this issue financially, something has to change.

>> oh, there's no question about it, and the irony is that the president pointed out, jane, several areas where we agreed. he talked about small business health plans, allowing folks to pool together to negotiate a better deal vis-a-vis insurance companies. he gave some lip service to liability reform. now, we're pretty far away from that, as you can imagine. he talked about allowing the purchasing of health insurance across state lines, all things that republicans say are good ideas and can bring premiums could be. down. but i think, unfortunately, the president and speaker pelosi and senator reid are saying, we're willing to sprinkle some republican ideas on the top of this, but we're not willing to negotiate and move one bill at a time. and what i'm hearing and i think overwhelmingly members of congress are hearing that the public is actually not just disappointed and not just discouraged, but they're actually fearful of what they think may come was as a result of this bill. >> congressman, again, we had

invited george miller of california, he couldn't make it, hopefully he'll be here next time. thanks to you, congressman. >> thanks, jane. jon: do you mind getting your hands dirty? there's a whole lot of shipbuilding going on in this country, and they need workers. also we are waiting for that news conference from seaworld in orlando. we expect we will hear more about the tragic death of a trainer there and what happens now to the killer whale apparently responsible. 

jane: "happening now" on the top box, a cruise ship with hundreds of sick passengers has finally docked in south carolina. more than 400 people on board were sickened by a virus while on this 11-day cruise through the caribbean. in the middle, we're just a few minutes away from a news

conference from officials in seaworld in orlando where the killer whale dragged a trainer underwater to her death. and on the bottom, wayne newton may be having some financial troubles, police are saying that debt collectors were turned away from his 38-acre walled compound in vegas, according to officers, the matter now returned to court. jon: fox news on the job hunt, and business is booming at the ports mouth naval shipyard in maine due in part to the navy setting aside almost $14 billion for shipbuilding in 2010. the ship and boat-building industry employing some 130,000 workers in this country, and the portsmouth shipyard employs about 4200. molly line is live in maine, she has more for us. a lot of work going on there, huh, molly? >> reporter: absolutely. a beautiful historic shipyard built in 1800, it has literally

>> we've been here since 1800, we have over 4400 people. this is where we live, where we raise our families, and we have generations of folks who have been here for, again, generations. we're very happy to be part of the community. >> reporter: we've had a chance to see some of these workers arriving today, they say they love these jobs. you know, they're very technical and skilled and an exciting place to work, so they are hiring. for more nrgs on the jobs, usa jobs.gov. jon: a lot of people are going to be putting in their applications. molly line. >> reporter: it's going to be a busy day at the web site. jon: thank you. jane: megyn's going to be talking with homeland security secretary janet napolitano on this cia bill imposing lengthy prison time on those convicted for using harsh interrogation tactics. that's all coming up in just a couple minutes.
