investigated, and found that the claims, quote, do not appear to be factual. investigators have been in contact with the involved parties' known former husbands who are alive and well. the couple who took the video, james o'keefe and hanna giles, are both conservative activists. a.c.o.r.n. contends they have been deliberately manipulating the videos to put the liberal group, which has become a target amid serious corruption, voter fraud allegations, in the worst light possible. amy sure is california's chair woman and she accompanied theresa to the interview. >> we believe these two conservative activists broke the law, filming this. and then what are they putting on the air and online? they are putting doctored, he had edited, sliced and diced versions of these tapes. >> reporter: that said, a.c.o.r.n. has already fired four workers for their earlier tapes, and kelke told us, she has been placed on indefinite suspension.

abbie boudreau joins us now. as you know, in your report, very controversial. the white house press secretary speaking out, calling the conduct on the tapes unacceptable. what is a.c.o.r.n. saying? >> a.c.o.r.n. is announcing it will conduct an independent review of these incidents, and it plans to retrain its staff to make sure this stuff does not happen. and also, we did try numerous times, many, many types to reach out to the film makers to get them to talk to us about everything. and they have refused to talk to cnn. >> it makes you wonder, seeing that woman on the tape, why come forward? why now? >> well, i think what she told us was that was all a joke, that that wasn't the truth. and she wanted to get the truth out there. and so that's why she told us, that she came forward, is she wanted to, you know, tell us and explain to us why she would say those crazy, crazy things. you know, i did say to her, when you saw yourself on tape, what were you thinking? you know? because she had no idea that she was being taped. she said, oh i have to tell you, i was incredibly embarrassed. and, of course, regret everything that i said. but, you know, it's interesting

to hear from one these a.c.o.r.n. workers. we had been reaching out to all of them, but no one wanted to talk to us. this was the first one to talk to us on camera. >> that's a great question. tha encompassing what were you thinking. great job on this controversial story. appreciate it. we turn to the obama administration scrapping plans for a missile defense plan in poland and russia. the idea soured relations with russia which viewed the defense system as a direct threat. the pentagon says it's making a major adjustment to the defense plan because iran's missile system is considered less of a threat. a terror plot investigation is now stretching from new york all of the way to colorado. yesterday the fbi raided the denver area apartment of a man suspected of having ties to al qaeda. agents were seen taking out

questions but here's what he had to say. >> mr. clark has been a lab technician at yale since december 2004. his supervisor reports that nothing in the history of his employment here gave any indication that his involvement in such a crime might be possible. it is very disturbing to think that a university employee might have committed this terrible crime. >> reporter: as far as how raymond clark's path crossed with annie le, the graduate student whose body was found on sunday in the building, they work in the same building but that's all police are looking. his job was to look after laboratory mice in the basement of this one lab building at yale. annie le as a researcher would go to that laboratory to do some

of her research. as far as any history, police would not talk about it. >> reporter: he mentioned the chief said that it was a case of workplace violence. does that suggest this was more of a spontaneous act than one of premeditation? i guess we don't know the answer to that. is that what we're supposed to read between the lines? >> reporter: he was very clear to make that point saying this wasn't about urban violence or domestic violence. it was about workplace violence. yes. this is something that needs to be addressed not just at yale but across the country but definitely suggesting a lot more there without giving details. >> mary snow in new haven with the latest. a lot of people following this closely. thank you. breaking news all day on this story. nancy grace has late breaking details. don't miss it tonight 8:00 and 10:00 eastern here on hln. we'll go now to another court setting. this is in louisville. closing arguments under way in

that's big money. i'm going to write a check maybe if you win this trial. you know he's sick. that separates max out again. that's what separates him out. you have to believe that jason stinson knew he was on medication and knew the effects and the elevation or thing that you deregulate heat stroke and you have to believe all that. >> the reference by the defense attorney was to a drug for attention deficit disorder which was being administered to the 15 year old. he collapsed on the field at the end of a long practice in august of last year. he died about three days later in a hospital.

last sunday would have been her wedding day. following this breaking news, of course, we're doing it all day right here on hln. and tonight, you can tune into "nancy grace" for the latest breaking details. we want to take you live now to a courtroom in louisville, kentucky, where closing arguments are under way in the trial of a former high school coach. david stins season charged with reckless homicide in the death of a player. max gilpin died last august. >> when it all flushed out, we saw some things we didn't like. there are some things about the case that, whether you want to say they're in dispute, nondispute, let's face it, on august 20th, 2008, it was hot. there's no other way you can shape it.

it was so hot that if it was one degree warmer, everyone should know now, he knew it, we all knew it, there's mandated rules as to how you conduct practice. the doctor was right. it's the most dangerous temperature in the state of kentucky because you don't have the protections of 95 and above and you don't have the cool air of 72 or 73. 94 is the cutoff. what's concerning to us and what we knew then, what we still know is what he was told -- know your kids, monitor heat index, use common sense and don't put anyone at risk. that's sound advice from an athletic director to his head coach. >> you're just listening to jon heck, the prosecutor in this case. closing arguments on that side are under way.

the defense lasted about an hour and a half, his closing arguments, the defense attorney. david stinson, the coach is charged with reckless homicide in the death of that player, 15-year-old max gilpin. we could hear from the jury as soon as today. they will begin deliberating. we'll show how long it takes. more bone fragments were found on the property of the man accused of kid nnapping jaycee dugard. police are going over phillip garrido's yard and the one next door as well. bone frargments were also found there. they are being tested to see if they are human or not. police are investigating whether phillip garrido was involved in the disappearances of two other girls about 20 years ago. he is charged with kidnapping dugard and holding her for 18 years. a federal judge is deciding whether a florida high school principal should pay a fine or go to jail for defying a court order banning prayers in his school. the judge issued the order in

january to enforce a consent decree between pace high school and the aclu. that ended the practice of faculty members leading prayers. the judge will determine if the principal violated that order by asking the school's athletic director to lead a prayer at a school banquet. >> it's disturbing that when you read it and you hear about it that somebody can actually be charged with criminal charges for praying. where is it going at this point? >> several hundred people are gathered at the federal courthouse in pensacola to protest the school prayer. what do you think about this? we've been asking for your view today. should the school officials be punished for saying a prayer at the event despite the court order? give us a call and let us know what you think. you can e-mail us, cnn.com/hln. you can also text. text the word "views" plus your comments and name to hlntv. standard text rates apply. we'll air some of your responses coming up. president obama's urging

college students to join his effort to overhaul the health care system. he told an enthusiastic crowd at the university of maryland the overhaul is the defining struggle of this generation. the president called on them to reject the tactics of those who oppose reform. >> one voice can change a room. and if a voice can change a room, it can change a city. and if it can change a city, it can change a state. and if it can change a state, it can change a nation. if it can change a nation, it can change the world. we will change the world with your voice. we need the voices of young people to transform this nation to meet up to the meaning of its creed. i need your voice, so i want to know, are you fired up? ready to go? fired up? ready to go?

>> the students and obama both fired up. the president again endorsed the public option health insurance plan run by the federal government. it would compete with private insurance companies. this just in to hln. take a look at these pictures here. a small fishing boat caught fire in florida. the fire sent flames so high and smoke so high into the air, they could be seen as far away as cape canaveral. you see it there. fortunately no one was on the boat at the time. no one was injured. the owner says he had just filled up the tank with 400 gallons of diesel fuel. the 40-foot fishing boat is named "major issues." and clearly it had some major issues today. but no one hurt. prosecutors in nassau county, new york, have dropped charges against four men accused of raping an 18-year-old student at hofstra university. the one recanted her allegation, now says it was consensual.

the d.a. is considering charges against the woman. >> interview add woman who was accusing four men and nearly a fifth of a violent rape that allegedly took place early sunday morning on the campus of hofstra university. the goal of this interview was to get to the truth as fast as possible. my job as a prosecutor is to seek justice, not just convictions. 90 minutes later, the young woman admitted that each of the encounters with the men were n consensuco consensual. my office moved quickly to petition a judge for their immediate release. by 11:00 last night, the four men accused of these crimes were free. in her conversations with prosecutors, the story of the accuser slowly but steadily began to unravel.

prosecutors almost immediately identified significant inconsistencies as she told them her story. the turning point was when she was confronted with the fact that there may exist a video of some or all of the incident. the woman began to reveal the truth about what happened. her actions and her demeanor depict a very troubled young woman in need of much help. what's important here is that we found the truth, we got her to admit what happened, and we were able to put an end to this injustice. our community has real victims of sexual assault and they need our help. as a community, we cannot let this rare instance cloud our judgment and dull our senses to the very real threat women face and to the very real

intimidation they confront in coming forward to report real instances of assault. this case is validation of two things -- we will fight hard and stand up for women who have been attacked or abused. and we will fight equally hard to make sure the system is fair and just to those accused. based on the pending criminal investigation, we will not be releasing the name of the young woman in this case. what we know is what she told us, and that is that a crime did not happen last sunday morning at hofstra university. what was of paramount importance to us last night was determining whether four innocent men were sitting in jail. that was my sole objective as d.a., to find that out and to do something about it, getting the

truth and doing what's right. this is what being a prosecutor is all about. it's about doing justice, not just arrests and convictions. at this time, i'll take any questions you might have. >> did you guys actually have the videotape? >> that is part of the ongoing investigation at this point. but suffice it to say, that the young woman was, during the interview, told that one existed. >> do you believe if that didn't exist that these guys may have still been in jail? >> i think it was clear that -- >> hofstra university, the rape charges dropped there against four young men. the accuser apparently was confronted with a videotape, then recanted her story. we were listening in to the d.a., that is kathleen rice, who says it's her job to protect the innocent. but, again, the accuser recanting her story after apparently was confronted with some sort of videotape.

she is 18 years old. as kathleen rice just mentioned, they will not release her name to protect her as well. but, again, hofstra university, rape charges dropped. the fbi raids the apartment of a colorado man in connection with an anti-terror investigation in new york. what we now know about the case and the man who drives an airport shuttle.? anks. excuse me a sec. another person calling for her grandmother. she thinks it's her soup huh? i'm told she's in the garden picking herbs., she is so cute. okay i'll hold. she's holding. wha?

when you think of greenhouse gas emission, you may envision cars with black fumes. but there's not source. in this week's eco solutions, one person looks at how it is and how cutting edge tech knowledge can help you out. >> reporter: zero effect on the

planet, the quest to be carbon neutral. this company is taking a step further to one particular culprit of greenhouse gases -- cows. the aim to make them all carbon neutral. livestock accounts for about 20% of the greenhouse gas methane. adding garlic extract to their drinking water reduces this problem. you have different types of garlic here. >> we've laid out a normal white garlic that we buy, some purple garlic we have to test to see how well it converts and our peeled garlic, our garlic of preference at the moment and the great advantage is that garlic is grown as a major world crop already and there's something i think about 1.5 million tons of garlic grown around the world

every year so that the supply situation is there. it's already in place. >> reporter: from clothes to cows, it is the first stomach that breaks down grass. as the grass ferments, methane is produced and 80% of this pungent gas is actually released add a belch, and not at the other end. one of the challenges here is the garlic could contaminate the milk. if they find they can't avoid it, they'll have to stick to treating beef cattle as well. >> it was concerning me that the thing that was constantly being pointed at cow -- i don't really think it's fair to blame a species that's been with us for 5,000 or 6,000 years that's

dragged our carts and given us meat and milk. i wanted to be involved in trying to stick up for my cows. >> the biotech company says it needs $800,000 to continue testing and treating cows. scientists say the treatment would reduce methane gases in a matter of months, that quick. dna, handwriting samples and fingerprints are all being analyzed in a terrorism probe. this story came to light monday when new york police and the fbi launched a raid in queens. we now know that najibullah zazi of colorado had been there days before and stayed in one of the raided apartments. yesterday agents searched his colorado apartment and another home nearby while zazi spent hours at police headquarters in denver. he is cooperating fully and has no tied to terror plots of any kind, his attorney says.

california governor arnold schwarzenegger is asking his state's attorney general to investigate the community organizing group a.c.o.r.n. in the past week, a.c.o.r.n. has been the target of mfilmmakers. a film surfaced yesterday. the group's ceo says she is taking steps to reform the organization. >> i've got over 700 employees. and this is a handful of folks. i immediately took swift action and i said, you know what? we're going to look at this, we're going to make a review from top to bottom so that this thing never happens again. we work too hard to have some trumped-up things like this happen. >> the u.s. senate has voted to block hud grants to a.c.o.r.n. and the census bureau has cut ties with the group ahead of next year's population count. we go to the white house now where president barack obama is awarding his first medal of honor.

the president is giving the honor to the family of army sergeant first class jared monti who was killed in afghanistan. monti was shot to death back this 2006 while trying for the third time to save a wounded comrade. his importants are joining the president right now in the east room. the white house says monti went above and beyond the call of duty in sacrificing his own life to save another during the combat. live pictures there at the white house. we're talking entertainment now. new "jon & kate plus 8" drama is surfacing. she is called the other kate and the cormer "star" magazine reporter claims to have had a relationship with jon gosselin. a.j. hammer talked to kate major and there is some explosive reaction going on here, right, a.j.? >> there is. and there is new drama with jon and kate every day. but kate major, if you remembered the name, earlier this summer when jon gosselin and kate gosselin announced their divorce, kate major was

the "star" magazine reporter assigned to interview jon gosselin for an article. you see that picture? very soon after that interview wiz scheduled, the two of them seen out on the town. last weekend, jon gosselin said there was never a romance with this other kate. but kate tells me, she stands by her story and she's willing to prove it. take a look at this. >> i will take a lie detector test and i would love for jon to take a lie detector test because for him to say that there was no romance is a complete lie. >> so jon gosselin said she's just telling stories. kate major right there telling me, we absolutely were together. i don't know why he's saying we weren't. she was just looking to set the record straight and clear her name. >> she took the relationship, obviously, very seriously and being slammed in the media, how is she feeling now? >> of course i had to ask her about that. she said she really believed she and jon had a future together.

she left her job. but now her feelings have changed about him. take a look at this. obviously it sounds like from your vantage point, anyway, a relationship developed fast and furious. did you love him? >> no. no. i think i was in lust with him, but, no, i did not love him. >> do you hate him now? >> i despise him. >> yeah, not mincing any words there. interesting choice of words saying "despise" because last weekend, jon gosselin said that about his feelings for his soon-to-be ex-wife, kate gosselin. it's kind of all a big mess. we're expecting to hear from jon gosselin to get his reaction to these explosive new comments from kate major. we'll it have for you tonight on "showbiz tonight." plus, we'll be talking much more about all the drama surrounding them and asking the question, jon gosselin was once the most beloved man in america. why is he so despised now? see you tonight at 11:00 p.m. eastern and pacific on hln. >> see you tonight. he needs an image consultant, i

think. a.j., thanks. two florida school officials could be sentenced to jail time for promoting prayers at school functions. what our viewers are saying about the case, your view. you've wanted to quit smoking so many times,

but those days came and went,. but today's a new day. and a few simple steps can make a real difference in your next quit... things like starting with a plan to quit smoking... getting support... and talking to your doctor about how prescription treatments can help you.

talk to your doctor about prescription treatment options. and make this time, your time.

police have arrested a lab technician in the killing of yale grad student annie le. but they are still not saying why they think this man did it. raymond clark's bond was set at $3 million. he was taken into custody at a motel near the campus earlier today. he's not entered a plea. investigators say he is the only suspect. authorities compared dna from his hair, fingernails and saliva to more than 250 pieces of evidence collected at the crime scene. the state medical examiner says 24-year-old le was strangled to death. while new haven's police chief wouldn't comment on a specific motive here, he did throw out some possibilities. >> i think it's important to

note this is not about urban crime, this is not about university crime, it's not about domestic crime. but an issue of workplace violence, which has become a growing concern around the country. >> le's body was found sunday stuffed in a wall in the building where she and clark worked. last sunday would have been her wedding day. we are following this breaking news story all day right here on hln. and tonight, you can catch "nancy grace" for late-breaking details right here on hln. a college student who claims she was raped by four men has changed her story and now says it was consensual. the d.a.'s office is investigating possible criminal charges against her now. prosecutors say last night the hofstra university student admitted she lied about being assaults.

>> in her conversations with prosecutors, the story of the accuser slowly but steadily began to unravel. prosecutors almost immediately identified significant inconsistencies as she told them her story. the turning point was when she was confronted with the fact that there may exist a video of some or all of the incident. the woman began to reveal the truth about what happened. >> charges against the four men were dropped. initially the student claimed she was lured from a club, forced into a men's bathroom and assaulted. but she, again, changed her story. more bone fragments found on the property of the man accused of kidnapping jaycee dugard in california. today investigators with search dogs and special radar will go over phillip garrido's yard and the one next door. bone fragments were also found there. they're being tested to see if they're human. police are investigating whether phillip garrido was involved in the disappearances of two other girls around 20 years ago. he's charged with kidnapping

dugard and holding her for 18 years. president obama is urging college students to help overhaul the health care crisis. he told an enthusiastic crowd at the university of maryland the overall is the defining struggle of this generation. the president called on them to reject the tactics of those who oppose reform. >> i've heard a lot of republicans say they want to kill obama care. some may raise money off of it. when you ask these folks what exactly my plan does, they have got it all wrong. when you ask them what their solution is, it amounts to the same old, same old. the same status quo that's given us higher costs and more uninsured and less security than you've ever had. >> the president, again, endorsed a public option health insurance plan run by the federal government. it would compete with private insurance companies. house speaker nancy pelosi is also talking about some of

the harsh rhetoric spilling into political debate these days. pelosi recalled bitter words flying around san francisco 30 years ago. at that time, she was a local democratic party leader working with san francisco mayor george muscone and harvey milk. >> i think we all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. we are a free country and this balance between freedom and safety is one that we have to carefully balance. i have concerns about some of the language that is being used because i saw this myself in the late '70s in san francisco, this kind of rhetoric was very frightening. and it created a climate in which we -- violence took place.

and so i wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made, understanding that some of the people -- the ears that it is falling on is not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume. but, again, our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe. but i also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause. >> milk and moscone were gunned down at san francisco city hall in november of 1978. a former city supervisor was convicted of those killings. a pet project of the last president is getting shelved now by the new one, by president obama. president obama is cancelling a missile defense shield for poland and the czech republic.

former president george bush said it was necessary to protect against attacks by iran. president obama dismissed the complaints. >> we've made repeatedly clear to russia that its concerns about our previous missile defense programs were entirely unfounded. our clear and consistent focus has been the threat pose bid iran's ballistic missile program and that continues to be our focus and the basis of the program that we're announcing today. in confronting that threat, we welcome russia's cooperation to bring its missile defense capabilities into a broader defense of our common strategic interests even as we continue to -- we continue our shared efforts to end iran's illicit nuclear program. >> republicans leaders denounced that decision. they vow they will work to overrule the president and deploy the anti-missile system anyway. take a look at these pictures out of florida a small fishing boat caught fire. the fires and flames were so

high into the air, they could be seen as far away as cape canaveral. fortunately no one was on the boat at the time. the oiner says he just filled the tank with 400 gallons of diesel fuel. the 40-foot fishing boat is named "major issues." clearly it had some major issues today. no one injured. they are kicking up a storm over high heels. why one labor group is taking up the issue of footwear at work and demanding more sneakers and fewer stilettos.il fiber. but i like this chicken tuscany., i like it too. but it has fiber in it. that's right. fiber? yeah. but i like it.

it's not so much a wedge being driven between them as it is a high heel. reggie has more on this one. >> are you wearing heels? >> small ones because i'm pregnant, so i can't wear big ones. but i normally do. >> right. and so obviously with fashion sometimes comes a little pain. these uk labor unions are really kicking up a controversy because they're saying there should be more leniency at jobs where women shouldn't be forced to wear high heels. in fact, the society of podiatrists wants to let women wear more comfortable shoes because they say it could be a health risk. the union is arguing that women in some jobs like for example retail or flight attendants are on their feet wearing uncomfortable shoes for many hours at a time. over the long term, high-heel use can lead to multiple issues including chronic foot and ankle pain, bunions, stressed joints, and on and on. >> i never knew it was forced. >> forcing women to wear things

that are going to harm their health. >> whatever people say, it's a health and safety issue. you get blisters and all sorts of issues. it's not a health and safety issue. >> who is against this talk from the union? surprisingly some of the opponents are women who say they love wearing their heels and they should be able to wear whatever they choose to, even if it includes a five-inch stiletto. the union says you shouldn't be forced to wear heels in order to succeed or be seen as succeeding at your job. so the debate goes on. >> i never knew it was forced, though. five-inch heels -- >> i guess in some jobs it's expected. >> all right, expected. we're talking about something else on the other end, talking about the next big thing in internet searching. high heels. >> right. if you're doing a search for high heel, you no longer have to rely on just getting text

results. there's a new visual search phenomenon going on. one of the big search engines doing this is bing. we have an article about it on the website today. bing.com is rolling out this visual search. it uses pictures to find what you're looking for. for example, say you keep seeing the same senator on tv talking about health care but you don't know the senator's name. you can search a politician photo gallery and filt ter results by party, state or gender until you recognize the face you have been looking for. we've been talking about montana democrat max baucus and you'll see his picture come up. the same can help you identify digital cameras, dog breeds, baseball players. one expert says the type of search is now possible because of increases in bandwidth. a few years, might not have been so easy to have all these pictures download on your computer. not to be outdone, google is stepping up, enhancing its search to you can flip through newspapers and magazines all at

once. it's called fast flip. it lets you sort by news source or topic and move through the pages. it's sort of like a virtual magazine stand, right? you see all the front pages of various popular newspaper, magazine, websites. but you see it all on one page and you can quickly flip through them. >> that's pretty amazing. we nye knew google would be right up there with them. >> yeah, and it makes a lot easier and makes you find these sources because we all from -- have a.d.d. these days. >> reggie, thanks. losing your job doesn't have to be the end of the world. easier said than done, right? in fact, it doesn't even have to mean that you give up your lifestyle. erin chernoff introduces us to a family growing closer thanks to some belt-tightening. >> reporter: this couple jogging home from an errand instead of driving, it's one of many cost-saving steps they're taking

since the family breadwinner was laid off. >> at first, it's instant panic, we're going to lose the house. >> this is your breakfast. >> reporter: she decided to turn her loss into an opportunity and spend more time with the family while taking time to find another job she'd love. so they plan to stretch her unemployment checks and her 13-week severance to last a full year, determined not to dig into savings. >> how do you do it? i have the rules posted at my desk. >> reporter: rules like, live within your means, which they say they've always done. they're always do-it-ourselfers. chris, a stay-at-home dad, who is a woodworker builds toys for his son, max. >> my dad made it. that's the best. >> reporter: for the first time, she set up a budget. to stick to it, the family shops only for absolute necessities. the library is now a frequent

stop as are other free community resources. >> we've had more fun since i lost my job than ever. >> reporter: having adopt add frugal lifestyle, they now truly appreciate small luxuries. >> if you pick a couple of luxuries, like hershey bars, you really enjoy them. >> reporter: even as they stretch, they still donate 10% of her unemployment check to their church, living only a few doors away from the neighborhood food pantry, they are often reminded of their blessings. >> i don't have a job right now. we've got a house, we've got food. we have nothing to complain about. >> reporter: allen chernoff, cnn. >> how to thrive in a tough economy, as you saw, that couple is doing it. for more on our series, watch cnn tonight at 8:00 eastern. at bank of america we are

we start with this. a lot going on. p we begin this hour in sp where the crew of the international international space station is making a breakthrough. for the first time they are using a cargo carrier. great to see you, a whole lot riding on this robotic arm. literally riding on it. >> absolutely a lot of glad handing going on both at the international space station control center in houston and on the international space station because what they were doing was they were literally reaching out with the space station's arm, the canadian arm and two members of the space station were grabbing onto what's called the h 2 transfer vehicles, a japanese rocket launched about a week ago carrying five tons of cargo. the first time they were ever able to do this.

>> confirmed. good capture, 2:47 p.m. central time. >> 2:47 central time, about 15 minutes ago when nicole scott and frank de witt who had been practicing this not just on earth but in space for days and days and days managed to grab the remotely controlled vehicle, japanese vehicle, they grabbed it. they literally used lasers during the process so they could measure the distance between the station and cargo carrier and slowly get closer and closer to the cargo carrier until it was in range of the arm until they reached out and grabbed it. what's important here, susan, in a little over a year, the space shuttle program is coming to an end. nasa and all of its other international partners want other means in order to get cargo to the station. yes, the russians have a

progress resupply vehicle, remotely controlled unmanned vehicle that goes up there periodically and brings cargo but they need more ways to get cargo to the space station crew. so this was a test to see if they could do it. could they reach out, latch onto a vehicle, and bring it in. now it's actually in a holding pattern right now but attached to the arm. during the next several hours, they will remotely turn it. they will maneuver it so it's in position to then dock it to the space station and start unloading all that cargo. so pretty fascinating pictures up there in space some 200 miles above the earth. certainly another incredible feat performed. susan, they make it look so easy. >> they always do. this may be a cheaper and easier way of doing it, which is so key right now. >> no question about it. the only way after the shuttle is retired to get humans up to the space station is going to be

on a russian rocket. so yes, there are only a few other ways now to get cargo up. but it's certainly cheaper, much cheaper, to fly an unmanned vehicle up to the international space station with cargo. shuttle's mission will be over once the assembly of the space station is complete in a year and shuttle is retired. then the only games in town will be the remotely controlled victims to bring cargo up and the russian capsule to bring humans up. >> technology at its best. john, as always, thanks. we have severe weather to tell you about in tennessee. parts of the middle and southeast part of the state are under water. that is forcing school closings, also evacuations. affiliate wsmv are reporting two people were trapped on a roof in the nashville area. see that little baby being rescued. at least 18 people have been evacuate freddie their homes, from the floodwaters.
