good sunday morning, everyone. i am anies. >> and i am richard jordan. happy mother's day to you. >> thank you, richard. i got up to check the score of the caps' game. we will get to more of that in a moment. first we want to get you your mother's day forecast. >> the good news, right. >> no kidding. compared to the caps' news, it will seem like a cakewalk.

i hope you had a chance to get out last evening. tomorrow mother nature will help by bringing in extra cloud cover, but what a spectacular sunrise. we have nice streaks much blue sky, orange, gray, and every color in the rainbow this morning. filtered sunshine is what i said we would have this morning, and temperatures are in the low to mid-50s. a little milder inside the city limits, and 62 now at national airport. 54 in manassas, and 58 degrees in bethesda and chevy chase this morning. just have to go to the other side of the mountains, and if you watch over the last couple hours in the motion here, most of the showers are paralleling the mountains and are on the west side. we have a lot more dry hours than that picture might

indicate. clouds will be increasing during the course of the day today. highs are flirting with 80 degrees, and we made 78 yesterday. we will be every bit that warm yesterday afternoon. showers don't start to sneak into the d.c. metro area until well after sundown, but in shenandoah valley you are closer so you have a chance of seeing showers before the sun goes down today, and that's west of i-81 and then back to work and school tomorrow, and who cares because it will be raining tomorrow. we could get heavy rain around here monday evening into monday nighttime frame. your mother's day forecast, no complaints at all today. >> okay. >> mom will be happy with that, all right? >> well, yes, she will. you tell me. >> that's after she gets her gift, right? >> yeah, and there's always next year and that's a phrase

capitals' fans are getting to know. the caps lost in game seven of the playoff series. >> a stanley cup will not find a home in d.c. game seven meant one thing, the winner stays and the losers go home and that the caps lost at madison square garden. the capitals beat the rangers three years ago in game seven, and hoping for similar luck last night. rangers were on the attack, and new york is up 2-0. but less than a minute later, the caps strike back. the shot is deflected past lundqvist. caps cut the deficit to one, but that's as close as they would

get. they advanced to play the devils in the eastern conference finals for ovechkin and the capitals, another disappointing end to the post season >> you know, all i can say, we do our best, and, you know, it's probably best we play in this group of guys and the atpa atmosphere. i hope everybody is going to stay here for next year. you know, it's hard. >> so a tough loss for the capitals. now the offseason begins. a lot of decisions to be made. back to you guys. >> thank you. it was a rough game not only for the players but the players as well. caps rocked the red, and news4, we tried to chat with many fans after the game but was can

imagine some were too upset to talk with us. caps' fans seemed to be happy with their effort and optimistic about next year. >> i definitely -- i would have liked it because i think they could have beaten the devils, but it's the way it worked out and hopefully next year they with go further but they have a good shot of where they are going. >> the capitals have questions about next season. there are free agents and there's a dilemma of what to do with the current head coach, dale hunter. and then a camera shows an attack outside a building from friday afternoon. a man coming home asked another man to pick up a beer can he saw

him throw on the ground, and the other man attacked. the condo association there says police are planning a community meeting sometime next week to address safety in the area. no word on what caused a d.c. circulator bus to catch fire. it happened yesterday on one of the green line buses. there were a few passengers on the bus, but thankfully nobody was hurt. a prayer vigil will be held in loudoun county for a pregnant woman missing. decker was the mother of a young son, and a student at george may sun university. her husband deployed to afghanistan about the time of her disappearance and she was carrying the child of another man. friends and family will gather

where she was last seen. and mitt romney donned a graduation gown at a private christian school in virginia that was founded by jerry falwell. >> culture, what you believe, what you believe matters. they may become topics of democratic debate from time to time, and so it's today with the enduring institution of marriage, that is between one man and one woman. >> and romney told the crowd that exercise of religion is a

there. the school has a long history of being involved in the civil rights. >> but we all know there is plenty of serious injustices crying out for our attention. >> mrs. obama commended the pursue to pursue more african-american and female engineers, graduating more of them than the rest of the country. now, an area includes land around landmark mall and beauregard streets. a plan calls for more bus tr

transportation. developers and city contributions would pay for the $110 million transformation. what else will be nice is mother's day and the weather we have got on tap? >> i am sure 2-year-olds know how to shop, as you know. >> a year and a half. >> we will be back with a complete check of your mother's day forecast. do

still looking for the perfect gift for mom this mother's day? today z burger is looking for a

deal. can you take advantage from 10:30 this morning to 10:00 tonight. i keya is offering free breakfast. the deal is good until 11:00 a.m. at ikea's across the area. for the morning shift, we eat the most strangest things in the morning, and swedish meatballs are not out of the question. >> that would be a fun thing to take mom out to ikea or z burger for a free meal. >> if you want to live out around town, the rain drops are staying away from metro washington perhaps all day today. we may not get our first rain

drops until after 8:00 tonight inside the d.c. metro area. for you out to the mountains and shenandoah valley, your rain drops come sooner than that. and the sun is already up. it is blocked out for now, with this deck of cloud cover. but it has made for a very pretty sunrise. hopefully your mother's day morning is off to a great start. 62 now at national airport. a light breeze ahead of the southwest averaging 7 miles per hour. and yesterday our dew point measures were down in the 30s to low 40s. now they are creeping back up in the 50s. as we go through the day today, that dew point is going to continue to sneak upwards, so you will start to feel a little more of our spring humidity coming back by later this afternoon. a great way to get your sunday

started. mid-50s out in the northern and southern suburbs. your mother's day planner, on the whole i think you will like today. i can't give you the 100% dry guarantee. it's 80 or 90% dry for most of us today, and temperatures in the 60s this morning, and becoming cloudy this afternoon and temperatures closing in on 80 degrees for a brief time, and then showers coming after the sun goes down precipitation rain drops across west virginia, they are going northeast bound up into pennsylvania. and along the shenandoah valley, we are waiting a little more for the moisture now in eastern tennessee. that's the part of the moisture coming in our direction. we have more high pressure providing us with a high start, and then clouds on the increase later today so showers possible,

not likely but possible after 5:00 or 6:00, especially in the shenandoah valley, and then clouds lower and thicken tonight and off to be with a looks like a wet start tomorrow morning, and the heavier steady rainfall heads in late monday night. for today, nice and warm. no complaints with the temperatures. and increasing clouds and a chance of a few showers by later today. what about the next couple days? needed rainfall on the way, starting late tonight into early morning. the bulk of the rain coming about lunchtime monday to about lunchtime on tuesday. we are more than five inches behind in rain for the year so the inch of two inches of rain on average will do us a lot of good. the april tphrflowers are givin away to may showers. >> you are not joke tomorrow, 100%? >> nope, it will rain tomorrow. >> you heard it here.

thank you. the weather was perfect yesterday as chuck mentioned for the chile cookoff. organizers say the event raised more than $1 million for the national kidney foundation. next up "reporters notebook," with stories affecting our community. >> we will be back with more news stories and forecast. we begin this morning with same-sex marriage in maryland. president obama last week stated his support for same-sex marriage and opponents are trying to collect enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot in november. a panel of supporters say the

panel could hurt the referendum effort. >> it clearly energizes both sides. it energized both sides that want to see the same-sex marriage legalized, and it's just boiling up and boiling over and it's hard to say which way it goes. however the results of the north carolina vote earlier in the week where there was a referendum and where they came out against same-sex legalization strongly and generally many states have done that beforehand and it makes a lot of people think there's a momentum against same-sex marriage and it may not be a winner in maryland. >> how do you think having the president who supports the gay marriage at the top of the ticket affect the ballot box? >> the marriage lines group says it will not be an issue in november. he ses, of course, by that time,

people who are going to be for same-sex marriage or not against same-sex marriage, they are going to go ahead. they only need about 30,000 signatures now, because they have 55, and they are going ahead full steam because regardless what president obama did they feel they can put it on their referendum. >> my sense is that this change is nothing in the equation of those who are in favor or against it. it's almost like the abortion issue. you either are for abortion or against abortion. there is no middle ground here. i suspect that what the president has done is stated his personal opinion, and those individuals who are going to support same-sex marriage are probably the same number, and those individuals who oppose it are probably the same number and we will spend a lot of time talking with it and nobody will convince the other side one way or the other.

>> is the governor energized and encouraged despite what happened in north carolina, and despite the fact, dave, that everywhere this has come up on the ballot in a majority of states it has been voted down? >> they are energized because anytime you feel you get the go ahead from the president, that is good for your side and will help, but it sets off a counter feeling on the other side. we should see. >> and last week it was rejected on the ballot. tim kaine who has not stated his position, he will be forced to take a position now? >> he probably will and have to change his position to be with the president. he supported civil unions but that's as far as he has gone. the overriding issue is jobs and the economy, and if president

obama does well, kaine will be doing well. and allen's forces must not jump for joy over there thinking there will be a lot of anti-democratic and anti-gay voters out there. and statistics tell us a loft younger people support gay marriage, and there may be weakening of supporters on allen's side. >> nothing has changed. we talked about that on this program for the last couple of weeks, and mainly because of the tie with allen and with cane. the fact is we agree with dave. and in fact, kaine was dancing around the issue a little bit. but the fact is, whether he come out for it or not will come down to jobs and economics. >> i think the president -- i am thinking of obama, may have given kaine and other senators who have this election year issue a little cover. the reason i say that, remember

one of the things he said, this ought to be a state issue, it's not a federal issue. he doesn't have -- the president doesn't sign any laws or anything like this. so that may give kaine cover to take his own position that will help his election. so he doesn't necessarily have to be in lock step with the president of the united states. >> meanwhile, kaine's opponent, george allen got the nra's endorsement this past week? any thoughts about that? >> all of the people conservative are lining up against allen. the people who are more moderate or perhaps liberal are lining behind kaine. the thing in the race is how well will obama do and he will do well or not well according to

the jobs economy. >> the only thing that bothers me is that the nra crowd somehow thinks that kaine is anti-gun, and that democrats are ready to come and take your gun out of your house. >> that's not true. >> and it's not true, absolutely not true. and you have allen bushing i am for hunting and my friends don't have to worry about that, and you can go out and hundred the and fish and you don't have to worry about me taking your guns. the cost of a drink may increase. there's a proposal on the table to hike wholesale taxes on spirits and that could add 6 cents to each drink you buy. this comes from councilmember jim graham who says you need social services in the city.

how much support do we believe is out there for this? >> depends on the type of supporter looking at. the support comes from the neighborhoods and the communities. just a couple weeks ago, if not last week, the communities were very outspoken about extended hours. this was the same principle here, raising monies for many of the social issues. well, now, of course, jim graham has come off with another plan to get around that extended hour thing and what he is saying is let's put more tax on it. people in the communities, i would say they are for it, but people in the alcohol industry, no. >> if you are thinking -- if the thinking is by higher drink prices people will drink less, i don't think that will happen. they will find another way to drink, not in a bar or go to a liquor store -- >> or bring their own. >> or they will drink -- >> 6 cents a drink.

cut me a break, guys. i am not a bar drinker, so when i go to a restaurant, but if somebody tells me well we are going to add 6 cents to this, i am not going to cry over it. i think jerry is right, the community will win on this, because part of the money will go to social services probably to help people that drink too much, and all the problems that go along with drinking. >> and you can rest assure on redskins afternoon the beer will be blowing 10 cents or 6 cents, and the redskins win -- >> preach it. >> it's a syntax. whether this happens with alcohol remains to be seen. got to take a break, but when we come back, we will talk about chaos at union station if you are trying to ha

well can come back to

reporters notebook. homeless is on the rise while the over all numbers remained steady around the region, the number of homeless families soared to 18% in the district. one of the healthiest counties in the nation, homelessness is up. are you surprised by these numbers? >> i am not sure it's a surprise. clearly if you don't have a job, if there is fewer opportunities for lower cost housing or for subsidized housing or homeless shelters or whatever, there will be homeless people, homeless families, not just people but families because they are all being affected by it. it's part of the chaos of the economic situation that now prevails. >> i realize the economic situation can be a struggle, but this is a story that has been around for the last 15 years. i know in covering the stories about homelessness, and the district, i remember at least ten years ago when there was a

great warning that homelessness would now see more families move into shelters, and that's what we are talking about here. there's an increase in families move into shelters. yes, tkpwragrant it because of economic situations in so many ways, and the cost of living in loudoun county but the cost of living in many counties are so high families are struggling. >> and the forecloser problem, too. people losing their homes. when family lose their homes, where do they go? they end up having to go into the shelters -- what we call shelters are no more than a single hotel bedroom where you have to raise your family. this is a major problem across the country, and as long as we keep seeing foreclosures and the impact on housing the way it s. we will have more of this. >> high rent in d.c.

>> that's a trend also. >> yeah, the trend is number one we have become the condominium boomtown, and i know in columbia heights, for instance, you have a lot of condo minuteams that won't sell. efficiency for $1500 a month? >> the banking industry and the mortgage industry, now people have to bring a tremendous amount of money to the table to get a mortgage. and people simply can't afford it. you are talking about maybe 20, 30, $40,000 just to get a mortgage. >> and good credit. >> yeah, and that's all sparked the demand for renting. renting is being touted for the way to go instead of buying a house. the price is going up.

and there are limited places for low income to go. >> if you are trying to rent in the district of columbia, you won't eat if you make $80,000. >> how about catching a cab? >> i couldn't get a cab from union station anytime between midnight and 4:00, and could not get a cab from union station to china town because they are cherry picking and no police officers and they ought to be ashamed of themselves because there are scores of people out there to fight to get a cab. >> the "washington post" wrote a story about this last week talking about the same thing. the cab drivers cherry picking to get longer fares. >> jerry, you have to -- they

are being advised to saying make that cabbie use his meter or else. >> and mayor gray says they are looking at getting more inspectors and more coverage. >> he says that but i want to say mayor gray do that. because of the fact that the taxi commission, they have been lenient -- we have had millions of complaints from people, not only at union station, be black and stand on florida avenue and try to get a cab. >> you can be black or white or pocka dotted, and be treated the same. i don't know how much it could be to send inspectors to union station between midnight and 4:00. how much does that cost? it doesn't make sense. >> the whole thing about inspection in this town is very important, because many, many people actually suffer because of it. >> we should point out that the

mayor has said that he is working on compromises by lifting the fare cap. >> that all sounds nice, but when i am standing out there with three bags and they don't pick me up, i don't care what the mayor says, i want to see action. >> the phone call from the mayor to the taxicab -- >> i am tired of getting into dirty and nasty cabs. i was just in detroit this last weekend, and pat, it was so clean, i said, my god, what is this? it's a clean taxicab, and that's detroit. >> and they talk about the taxis and the tourist industry here, and let's talk about new york. when i come out of penn station, i get a cab. >> thank you for joining us. that's "reporters notebook," and

for now "news4 today" continues. >> now, from washington's leading news station, this is news4 today. >> welcome to "news4 today," everyone. i am angie goff. >> and i am richard jordan. yesterday not hardly a cloud to worry about, and then the sky went milky white to beautiful blue. didn't bother anybody. and today the clouds will be lower and thicker, and exhibit a. let's look at exhibit a, shall we? yes, indeed. sun is up in partly to mostly cloudy sky already. you can see two layers are clouds. on the top of the screen, that's the serioarice clouds moving in.

temperature now is 62 in washington. 63 in annapolis this morning. 57 in germantown and gaithersburg. so it's a nice start. rain drops are not so terribly far away. however, they will be staying away with us for a while. west virginia, your rain drops could be there around 5:00 or 6:00. i don't think that means the immediate d.c. and metropolitan area, and i think we will be dry maybe as late as midnight or after, but nonetheless, mother's day planner, nice and warm and shower chances sneaking in by late afternoon and evening time south and west of town and even in town by midnight or later, and then tomorrow everybody gets wet. we need the rain, so that's a

good check in the monday column. >> it's monday, so get it over with, right? >> yeah, it's monday, and you know you will sleep in anyway, so might as well rain. prince georges' county police investigate a deadly motorcycle accident. the motorcycle rider was killed in the crash on wood yard road just west of branch avenue. the motorcycle collided with a tractor trailer. they have not released victim's name or said who is to blame for that accident. two college campuses are trying to begin the healing process today after tragic accidents. three boston university students died after a car crash. >> members of the boston university community gathered in grief saturday night. they came together to mourn the

la loss of three of their own. >> we gathered tonight, as a university family to share the grief and to fined some solace in our university family. >> three were killed in new zealand. the minivan they were riding in crashed there on a row motor road. >> can you see the scrape marks where the vehicle left the road. we are not sure why that happened. >> local authorities say the vehicle flipped and several students were thrown from the van. the students were on a group trip to see a popular hiking spot in new zealand. all of them were part of boston university's study abroad program and had been in the country since january. the news travelled back to the bu campus, dealing with shock and sadness. >> if any of us happens to any

of us all of us feel it so there were so many reactions of remorse from people that don't know them. >> as the community comes together to share in sorrow. oral roberts university in oklahoma is asking for prayers after four people associated with that school died in a plane crash. three people onboard were recent graduates of oral roberts. the fourth person that died was the university instructor. a fifth person onboard survived the crash but is now in critical condition. the air traffic control lost contact shortly after the pilot got permission to descend to a lower altitude. the group was on its way to a christian event in iowa. and officers are leading a massive search in rugged terrain to find a missing fbi agent. 35-year-old steven ivans may be

depressed and suicidal. his wife reported it when he left their house with a gun. about 100 law enforcement officers from several agencies searched the area this weekend, and the fbi does not consider ivans a threat to others. today thousands of law enforcements across the country are honoring 362 fallen officers. their names will be dedicated to the walls of the national law enforcement officers memorial near judiciary square. and president obama personly thanked all 30 officers who won an award for their courage in the line of duty. >> for the men and women standing behind me, america's top cops, that day came and when

it did they were ready. they didn't flinch. they didn't back off. they are people who are alive today only because of their courage. >> recipients honored included 15 detroit officers who confronted a gunman that opened fire in a police station, and five las vegas officers that stopped a man that shot an officer there. and what role will same-sex marriage play in this year's debates. and you heard about the dangers of texting while driving, but what about texting while walking? the town where y

i think same-sex couples should be able to get married. >> a historic announcement by president obama this past week. he became the first sitting president in history to support same-sex marriage. what impact will that announcement have on the election? >> joining us now is moderator of "meet the press." good morning, david. >> it was the vice president that came out for gay marriage on "meet the press" and within 80 hours, it was the president should did the same. one of the things we will look at this morning on the program is now that history and headlines have been made, what has actually changed and the reality is very little. we will look at the political impact as well and try to see to what extent this will become an issue in the fall. romney yesterday defending traditional marriage.

it will be an issue that drives out the base of both parties. >> you think it will fire up both sides? >> no question about it, but not in the way it did in 2004 when it was used by then president bush to drive out the vote. views about same-sex marriage has simply changed. you have more people in favor of it than opposed to it and even within the republican party there has been a 20-point swing in favor of it over the past several years. this is why ultimately the president was in a position to feel it was safer to change his opinion. >> and romney was called out as a high school bully. >> yeah. >> this was an incident in high school. one of the questions is, what do we learn about him and his character that he be involved in something like this.

there were testimonials for him that said this was in high school and he offered a blanket apology. and the other side, an incident like that today, would it be treated differently in terms of the policies and schools, whether you would be suspended or expelled for something like that. it has been part of the political dialogue for this week. i want to shift over to the "today" show. you had an interview with mr. diamond. >> look, the story here, jpmorgan chase lost $2 billion because of a risky bet it made on credit derivatives. wall street is still very risky in certain respects up to the finance collapse, and i talked

to mr. dimon about financial reform and he talks about what led to the loss and his own views about washington. and by the way, his own views about the broader economy which he knows a great deal about in the political campaign. a very timely look for us to be able to talk to him. >> does he feel changes are able to come. >> he feels this mistake gave ammunition to regulators that want to change how banks make bets, what is called hedging their bets in terms of how they make loans. so he thinks there is no ammunition. >> and who else is on the show today? >> mr. hrefens, and a terrific political roundtable as well.

the lieutenant governor of california but mayor of san francisco in the first city that allowed gay marriage. we will talk about the impact and what has changed. >> and you are on jimmy fallon this week, and playing bubble soccer, and i want to know when the next game will be. >> it's great exercise. it's me and stephen colbert. >> my favorite part is when colbert announced you and he called you the tallest man in news. is that true? >> i am up there. 6'5", i am up there. >> i think you need to get ready to open your show with get ready to be moderated. if you have a chance, look that up online. it's going to be a warm mother's day. >> let's check in with chuck bell for details. >> plenty mild today. temperatures are steady, but

however, there's another batch near eastern tennessee. that batch is going to come up the spine of the appellations. as a result, our rain chances really start to ramp up after we get into your monday morning commute. could be a few drops around first thing tomorrow morning, and better chances coming in for tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. enjoy the dry start to your subpoenaed. most of us are not going to worry about rain drops until after sundown, accept for you along the west of the blue ridge today, there will be a couple showers late in the afternoon into the evening timeframe. nothing heavy but a possibility. for most the heavier and steadier showers roll into monday night or early hours of tuesday morning. today, no real complaints from me. nice and warm and increasing clouds. that's not going to bother anybody. highs today, upper 70s to near 80. and we will get your monday

morning started. temperatures generally speaking in the upper 50s and lower 60s tomorrow morning, and then clouds and the rain chances and the temperatures in the 70s, and then we will tweet about the advancing rain drops on twitter. tomorrow, maryland lawmakers return to work for a special legislative session. governor martin o'malley called them back to hammer out the budget. the cuts would happen in less than a month and would affect education in other state programs. the general assembly are looking to pass an income tax increase as part of the budget deal. the dalai lama fears that chinese spies are trying to poison him. he has received warnings. his aides cannot confirm there

was a plot but there is increased security around his home, and he did not know if the fake believers were chinese agents or from another nation. and the u.s. postal service says it is banning international shipments of electronics with lithium batteries. there are concerns the batteries can explode on a train. can you send them overseas with private shipping services and the service plans to lift the ban in 2013. and some residents in ft. lee are giving tickets for texting while walking. offenders get an $85 ticket if they are texting and ignore signs or j-walk because of it. people are not watching where they are going which makes things dangerous for them and

others. >> we are interacting with our viewers here. >> it's safe. >> and you are not in danger of crashing off the set -- >> i have fallen off the set here and there, and that's just trying to get to another studio. too much drinking too much coffee. >> have a happy mother's day. >> there is always going to be eating involved, and then maybe a run through the fountain. >> and maybe jewelry. >> thank you. >> we will have

roar! alright, what do lions eat? ♪

that's all the horses sir. ...and the men?

all the king's men are here too sir. it doesn't look good. ♪ good morning, everyone. i am angie goff. >> and i am richard jordan. happy mother's day. here is a look at the top stories this morning. the ride is over for the washington capitals. new york wins the series four games to three. washington did exceed expectations this spring defeating the bruins in the first round before losing to the rangers. a d.c. condo release the r

surveillance of a beating. the victim suffered a broken jaw, and face fracture and lost some teeth. three students from boston university died in a crash. our mother's day started off with a little bit of sunshine. >> you will continue to see breaks of sunshine through the mid and late mornings hour, and all of the mother's day brunches will be rain free, and that's a welcome news, and clouds will gray out the sky just a bit. don't be scared by the gloominess later on. and plenty of sunshine, and sneaking around the clouds first thing this morning. 63 now at national airport. 64 degrees at annapolis.

and 63 in fredericksburg this morning, and 54 in martinsburg, and charles town and wardenville. you can see, not too much of a rain threat in the immediate srau sin tea. moderate rain now from cincinnati to louisville, down into nashville and atlanta. flights may be slow today if you are changing planes in atlanta or cincinnati, but no weather complaints here. clouds on the increase but nice and toasty warm today. temperatures flirting with 80 degrees. i think most of us will stay rain free completely until maybe after 5:00, 6:00, 7:00 this evening, and then rain chances will be further west and south. it will rain tomorrow. be ready for that. >> give mom an umbrella today so

she can be ready tomorrow. >> if you give your mom an umbrella, you will get hit over the head with it. >> yeah, i know. coming up next is "viewpoint." >> we will be back with another news update. today we are talking about the great programs to help those who help the wounded warriors with a career forum coming up on the 18th of this month. our guest in the studio this morning, we have laura dempsey, and aliza palmer, and mrs. fuentes. laura, you and i talked about this for a few years now. tell people out there so they know what a care giver is in

these cases. we are not talking about just spouses. >> it became apparent to us after a while that you can't just simply categorize people when it comes to caregivers. it's sisters and brothers, and significant others. anybody that stops their life to take care of a wounded warrior qualifies as a caregiver. >> my husband was deployed in august of 2010, and severely injured, and we were at the old walter reed medical center which is now transferred to the bethesda hospital. >> are you from the region or did you have to come here? >> we are both from bethesda. >> convenience is not the case

for all of the caregivers. they have to relocate in many cases, and that's the biggest hurdle. >> and they never know when that is going to happen. for different services, they handle it differently. but for the vast majority of the wounded warriors. they have to go to walter reed in bethesda, and without much warning at all these people are forced to stop their lives and come and take care of the wounded warriors. the average amount of time that a wounded warrior stays at a hospital like walter reed is 19 months. we are not talking about a short vacation or a long vacation, it's a life change for these people. >> a major entinterruption for jobs. >> how did capital one get into this and what is in it for the corporations that get into this?

>> we have given $4.5 million over the next three years to support the hiring of the heroes initiative. as we look at the moment in time, we believe it's a pivotal moment. after a decade at war women and men are coming home and rejoining the workforce. companies such as capital one should support that transition and leverage that talented workforce coming back. we looked at the talent pool very broadly, and it's veterans and spouses and caregivers, and those will help corporate america and capital one succeed as well. >> let's talk about the skill sets they do bring to the table, but talk about the fair that is going on. >> there is networking involved and resume tooling as well? >> yes, we are very excited

about this fair. we normally, as you know, hold hiring fairs for veterans and special ones just for spouses, but at our initial fair we did meet caregivers of wounded warriors, and the wife of the joint chiefs of staff, i spoke to her and asked what if we did a fair for caregivers and not just spouses. we will run it like the military spouse career fairs and forums in addition to employers committed to this population specifically, we will add in all the career forum pieces and give these to caregivers specifically. the resume train something by a wonderful man that will talk about nontraditional resumes and make that resume look good to an hr recruiters, and talk about work, life balance issues for caregivers that is a critical

need that eliza can talk about that better than i can. >> across the board the issue is flexibility. hospitals don't really tailor appointments around everybody's personal schedule. it's unpredictable where the health condition will be, and so flexibility is a core need for this group of people. >> were you working outside the home at the time when all of this unfolded? >> i was working for a medical society, and it got to the point where i was no longer able to continue because the flexibility wasn't there. so yes, i ended up quitting my job last february. >> and is that a familiar story that you hear over and over again. not only do people quit their jobs, but often times they lose

their jobs because the company says we can't accommodate, you know, the flexibility that you raise and other issues, too. relocating. >> right, there are measures trying to be taken right now between business and the federal government to alleviate some of that. i know the family medical leave act is being tooled with a little bit to give care givers more time to care for the wounded warriors, but it has not caught up with the speed with which we have all the wounded warriors and its population. many companies are forced into a bad situation where they have a job that needs to get done and the person is not there and it puts them in a bad spot, too. we have more to get to, so we have more to get to, so stay as a fashion blogger,righ

i love when i get to do a morning talk show. i'm always talking about t.j.maxx. i tell people how to look like a million bucks without spending it. fashion direct from designers. savings direct to you. t.j.maxx. let us make a maxxinista out of you. and welcome back again. we are talking about a wonderful program in our region, hiring our heroes. from capital one, laura fuentes.

your company has been progressive on the end of getting people jobs that are not only flexible but allow them to be anywhere kind of at anytime. >> absolutely. our main philosophy is to hire great people and give them the opportunity to be great. we offer flexible work solutions that are tailored to be the business need and associate needs. if you are a salaried employer, and can you set up an office from home and benefit from working from home and then flexible schedules whether it's part time or working hours that are convenient for you. and working in the branches or call centers, we are offer a number of flexibility solutions as well, ranging from the ability to swap shifts out if unplanned, you know, personal demands arise, and we offer pay

time off programs that combine floating holidays. and so you are able to really leverage that bank of time and not have to be accommodating to a predetermined schedule. finally, we have weekend and night shifts, which are helpful when you are trying to manage hospital visits and doctor appointments. >> tell us how your days have changed. you are not working full time now -- >> i am now, yes. >> so you are back to working full time. >> uh-huh. >> so you must be constantly on the go and pulled in a lot of different directions? >> yes. >> how do you do it? >> you make it work. i have been lucky the progression of my husband's injury has gotten better and everybody's injury is different. some of the issues will be on the much longer term for a lot of other patients. but i am able to work full time. i do have a lot of flexibility with my job.

my employer, the yellow ribbon fund is flexible with me. >> tell us about yellow ribbon fund and you are the director of family caregiver programs. >> it was created in 2006 and the mission is welcoming the injured service members home. it's filling in the gaps. we do apartments for other family members not put up by the department of defense, and a couple of years ago it grew. one of the caregivers came up to the group and identified a need for respite care for caregivers. they are the unsung heroes there night and day in the hospital helping out. it started there and more recently we identified a strong need for education and career support. i am thrilled, and this is where

hiring our heroes has come in. >> and you are a lawyer, too, and you walked this walk and you moved and had to go through all the adjustments that one has to go through when you are changing jobs and careers. >> yeah, and i am happy to say that my employer also let's me work three days a week in the office and two days from home. i am benefiting from a employer that likes to give military spouses flexibility, too. >> and technology makes it easier in this tough economic climate, and it makes it easier to make the case to hire a spouse or a care giver. >> i love my blackberry. it does make it easier. one of the things we are doing with the hiring fair that i am excited to share, we have elite personnel, and we have other groups who are featuring flexible work and remote work and tele work.

our lives are so unpredictable and we move around and we like to say we bloom where we are planted, and so we are trying to push out the companies who are interested in that, and you can get out your computer at 3:00 in the morning and knock out the work, it makes the difference between not being able to work and work. >> as we go to break, if you want to register or learn more about the big event coming up on the 18th of this month, go to the website and find out more. we will be right back on "viewpoint."

about the type of jobs people can expect when they go to the forum? >> we are excited. we will have hundreds of job openings at the job fair this next week. they range from all spectrums. if you think of very entry level campus graduates, all the way up through the executive ranks, we have opening in it and business analysis, and project management and human resources and openings for facing associates, and those are located around this area and also in wilmington, delaware, texas, richmond, virginia, chicago, and florida. we will have a ton of opportunities and we are excited to share it with the candidates. >> that's so wonderful. i want to point out as in all of the hiring fairs, they are a

huge range of jobs available. many employers have hundreds of jobs available. and career planning can be so difficult to get through the day-to-day, and i think it's important to see the options available. they can come and maybe figure out a way to start anew, and it could be meaningful. >> what do you tell the companies out there? what do these people bring to the table? a certain skill. >> for military spouses, they volunteer at over three times the national average, and more civicly engaged than the national population and all of those challenges create a resilient population, and it's no different for caregivers that are not spouses, brothers, mothers, and brothers, sisters,

and they all have the best attitude about it that you could possibly imagine. they are fierce advocates, the kind of employees you want. >> you were pointing out often times it's the parents, those care givers that take the biggest financial hit in this long term. >> yeah, it's important to understand who the wounded warriors are. they often 18 to 25, very young. of those who are married, i would say it's probably less than 50%, so the rest are parents, and brothers or sisters, and other members of the family. i always like to point out that spouses are covered -- we have health insurance and other benefits through the military, but when a parent or brother or sister loses a job, they are also losing their health insurance, and they are losing salary, and you know, and for the parents especially, it's

during their peak earning years. and there was a report that it's upwards of $325,000 that they could lose of lifetime income. >> laura, tell us about what you see in the prospective employers that make them so attractive to a corporation or company. >> absolutely. when i look at this talent pool, i look at individuals who are deeply committed to values. these are people that have shown incredible integrity, and teamwork, and problem solving, and all of the competencies that make you successful. i look at a talent pool that will contribute so much to our firm that we are eager to support their transition and bring them back into the workforce. >> how many people you have worked over the years with the job fears? >> we are approaching our

10,000th hire in one year. >> wow. >> with the help of capital one, we are expanding. we did 100 fihiring fairs, and next year we are going to do 400. we are reaching out into as many communities as possible. >> and tell our viewers where unemployment stands for not only veterans but for the people that live with them and care for them. >> right. the most recent statistics put veteran unemployment for our oef and ief higher than the general population. there are reports it's going down. but i can tell you from the hiri hiring fairs there's great demand out there.

>> constantly changing. >> yes. >> we will put that back on the screen, the web address. if you want to learn more about hiring our heroes. coming up, the job fair on the

helping them balance their professional and personal needs, and we have extraordinary benefits for the veteran and former military talent, including things such as making sure that you have job security if you have to rejoin military training and uninterrupted benefits and we also offer salary different repb schulz. we have a military network at capital one, which is an association of capital one employees that share a similar background or interest in background and can have coaching and give back to the community they came from. this provides a great way for associates to join together and build a network and continue to thrive on the job. >> a military family, we know, is close-knit. you have to think the networking, picking up the

phone, i know this person and they served and they are great, and it helps that way too to land that job. >> it's extremely important. it's one of the things that is missing from the career planning because it's hard to build-up a network as a spouse when you are moving every two to three years. you are the new employee. that's why the programs like the one capital one has are so important. we are creating an online network who hire military spouses to connect with them and give them that warm hand off or advocate for them if they have to move. it's really important to get everybody online using those so the military spouses feel like they have the community and the network that can give them a hand after all those years of serving. >> talk about how helping others who have been in your same shoes as well. >> well, one of the key pieces

is translating the caregiver experience on to the resume. it's a full time job if not more so. and there are ways as a patient advocate how can you list that out on the resume, and there are many ways to add that punch on the resume. >> sometimes there's a gap on the resume. >> absolutely. >> and sometimes that is spent as an advocate or volunteering in different directions that helps on the resume? >> it's one of the many programs we will offer is how to return some of the time into a bullet point on the resume. the veterans administration will come about the other benefits care givers can get. >> yeah, it's just not about jobs but managing benefits and navigating finances, too. >> getting a job is great but

you cannot keep the job unless you have your life in order. we are trying to help the spouses navigate the programs out there and help them get their lives in order so it won't feel overwhelmed. >> we love people to preregister so we know how many are coming but we will never turn anybody away for those looking at a job. >> it's greatly appreciated. >> well, you are a big part of the reason why your husband is doing better. thank you. we thank you for joining us on "viewpoint" this sunday morning. now back to "news4 today," and enjoy your sunday, everybody. now, from washington's leading news station, this is "news4 today." welcome to "news4 today."

i am richard jordan. >> i am angie goff. we want to start off by wishing all the moms out there a happy mother's day. chuck bell is joining us in a moment with the mother's day forecast. as we look outside we are waking up to a nice, warm sunday. >> a beautiful day yesterday, so all in all we have a great weekend so far and moms will like the forecast we have because not much rain in it. >> well, for today, right? >> well, that's true. >> today is not going to be the issue, i don't suspect. clouds will be on the increase. rain chances, i think, hold off until after the sun goes down. that's welcome news. temperatures mostly 50s and upper 60s. rain drops to us in western parts of west virginia, and kentucky. clouds will be on the increase and warm up near 80 degrees. enjoy it. showers possible, especially

fans throughout the area rocked the red. many watched from the bars in china town. for many fans, they took this loss hard. a few were even too upset to talk about the results even with the disappointing results. >> can't complain. they played hard. they are defending champions. >> i think they could have beaten the devils. that's the way it worked out, and hopefully next year they can go on further. >> the capitals have questions about next season. there are key players free agents, including the forward, alex semin.

graduates this weekend. mrs. obama delivered the commencement address at the agriculture and technical state university. four students from the school helped spark a movement by being part of restaurant sit-ins. the first lady likened their fight in the past to the current fight over same-sex marriage. >> we all know that there are still plenty of serious injustices crying out for our attention. we know this. >> mrs. obama also commended the school for continuing to produce more african-american and female engineers than others in the country. and then one of the big questions is how much is this going to atpeffect the voters.

david gregory joined us from "meet the press" this morning. >> you have more people in favor of it than opposed to it, and within the republican party there has been a 20-point swing in favor of it over the past several years, and so i think this is why ultimately the president was in a position to feel like it was safer to change his own position from 2008. >> be sure and tune in later today for "meet the press." the chair of the republican national committee joins david on the show. can you catch meet t"meet the p at 10:30 here on nbc 4. the city council approved the beauregard area plan. the plan calls for a new town center and grocery store and fire station and more bus transportation and affordable housing. the approval comes after three years of meetings.

no sun on the monument. 63 at national airport. winds out of the south averaging 7 miles per hour. generally, a south wind, 5 to 15 miles per hour expected for most of the afternoon. winds bringing more moisture in the area and as a result rain chances will sneak up late tonight and into tomorrow morning. get over into carroll county this morning, and temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. in northern virginia, mid to upper 50s this morning. 58 in manassas this morning, and then clouds start to increase by mid to late afternoon, 3:30, and 79 degrees for a temperature in manassas at 3:30 this afternoon. partly tonight, cloudy and rain free. rain drops move in shortly after midnight and a chance for a wet

morning commute for back to work and school. there are rain drops into western parts of the west virginia. that's the rain that will give us, and most of this up here will head into parts of western pennsylvania. we are waiting on the drops. they will make it here eventually. i think most of us, if not all of us, should be able to get away from a rain free sunday. the rain chance is better for you to the west and south of town. i think in and around town, probably going to have to wait until closer to midnight or even after midnight before rain drop chances get to sneak in. the rain could turn heavy at times. so for today, nice and warm. it's going to be warm. even with the cloud cover coming in, we will get close to 80 degrees today, and only a slight chance, 30% or less for showers.

coaching change and growing pains and yet here they are again eliminated in the second round. early first period. holtby, his fourth goal of the series. new york, already up 1-0. and ovechkin tosses it up, and then one shot is block, and then the rangers take a 2-0 lead. but less than a minute later, the caps get back in it and strike back. the shot is deflected and gets past lundqvist. caps cut the deficit to one, but that's as close as they would get. the rangers advance to play the devils in the eastern conference finals. for the caps, another disappointing end of the post

season. >> it's all relevant. a loss is a loss. it doesn't -- it probably would have -- it's just as bad when you get blown out or what not. it hurts the same. >> you can't beat yourself up about past events. it is what it is. we played a great playoff series here, and the guys in the room should be proud of what we were able to accomplish. >> playing some really good hockey the last couple months. and it's hard. we could not find the back of the net. lundqvist played well. we could not find the rebounds. >> it's too bad in a game of this magnitude, it was not good engh for us. >> the capitals are 2-4 in game sevens over the past five seasons. the national's rookie, harper, the former skins'

quarterback banged his head into a wall. harper slammed his bat into a wall friday night and it ricochetted and left a golf-ball sized over his eye. harper is okay but his pride may not be doing so well. the nats were down 1-0 in the fifth inning. he launches one. a bomb. deep to center field. get over that wall. his third of the year. that ties the game at one. and danny espinosa's homer gives the nats a lead, and then look what happens. a pitch gets away from ramos. he collapses to the ground in pain. he had to be helped off the field. he twisted his knee. he will get an mri after the game. tough break for the nats but they go on to win over the reds, 2-1.

rays and orioles battle for first. adam jones nearly took out the pitcher going up the middle. orioles go up 4-1 and go on to win 5-3. baltimore two games up on the rays for first place in the nl east. and then soccer. they open in their $95 million stadium. houston with the ball from the outside of the penalty area. brad davis unloads and beats meade. that's your sports, and hope everybody has a good day. >> that's a tough one. we were riding high for so long. >> how about holtby, he just had the birth of his child, but 29

saves? really a rising star in that game. >> apparently he needed 31. >> 31 saves. first, we will wish everybody a happy mother's day. my mom, she's probably not up. the 9:00 a.m. show is more her speed. >> my mom is having a mother's day on a cruise ship somewhere. >> fantastic. >> my mom is back home in miami, and -- >> all of them are probably enjoying great weather on their special day. >> thank you. >> we will see you again at [ female announcer ] with xfinity, you can always expect more. like more on demand shows and movies than ever. and more ways to discover them too. plus more speed from america's fastest internet provider. so you can run more devices at the same time. ♪ feel a firework
