the capture of washington player, ramos. it is three agencies in government that are gone when i get there, commerce, education and the what is the third one there, let's see. >> a little tongue tied governor perry can't seem to get it together last night a recap of the reaction straight ahead. fox news at 7 starts now. the big story of the morning is the fog. you can take a look at the tv tower, sunshine this morning, trying to burn its way through. fog very heavy across the region thanks for being with us i am steve chenevey. >> you are right, fog is really socking it to the folks on the eastern shore. enough for schools to be delayed queen ann county schools delayed 90 minutes, war chester on a one hour delay,

dorchester, caroline, kent county schools opening 2 hours late. let's check with tony to find out when we can get that out of here good morning. >> it will be awhile it is so dense in much of the area, very dense fog out there. let's look at viper we want to show you well, this is -- yeah, this is viper showing you we don't have much in the way of precipitation. there is the fog it is really showing you across the area, particularly from washington to points east, it is very very dense, visessability in some places down to -- visibility in some places down to a quarter mile. because of all this, now we will go to graphics we have a fog advisory in effect until 9:00 a.m. this morning right now it is for counties east of washington east, northeast, southeast, it

may be expanded later on this morning, but again, dense fog it will take while for it to burn off it has been spreading west ward into the washington area. current conditions reported regan national, 49 degrees, temperature relative humidity, winds out of the east, 5 miles per hour mostly cloudy skies, can't rule out a shower, it will become breezy later on and cooler highs only mid-and upper 50s that is a look at what is happening with weather now an update on this mornings rush hour traffic. >> very difficult to see on the roads you want to allow extra time on the highways as you make your way around the capitol belt way. this is our picture, new hampshire avenue, traffic flowing, headed in the direction of coalsville road expect to be on the roads longer than usual as you travel

westbound 495, college park. southbound 295, flowing in laurel, traffic inbound along 66 leaving fair oaks our lanes are open here no incidents to report, manassas, 66 eastbound, glieb road. we have accident activity to report this will tie up your commute, north capitol and hawaii avenue, south capitol, still tieing up the two right lanes. this is the scene last night on the penn state campus, thousands of students rioting, upset after the university announced it was firing joe paterno. the trustees ousted paterno and penn state president last night. >> fearings are the latest development in the growing child abuse scandal. stacy cohen joins us in studio for more >> it has been quite a week at penn state allegations are

unbelievable emotions on campus have been building all week long as this scandal snowballed, culminating in the riots you saw last night. about 2,000 penn state students tore down signs toppled a tv truck and eventually had to be dispersed by police armed with pepper spray the mob scene followed the trustees firing of joe paterno and university president, graham spaniard. he has spent 45 years as head coach, national championships to his name, 409 victories his decision not to report child sex abuse allegations to police, may have cost him his job. >> penn state board of trustees tonight decided that it is in the best interests of the university, to have a change in leadership to deal with the difficult issues, that we are

facing. board of trustees and graham spaniard decided effective immediately, the doctor is no longer president university. in adegrees, joe paterno, is no longer the head football coach effective immediately. in a statement paterno said in hind sight he wishes he had done more when a graduate student told him about spotting sandusky in the shower with an under age boy. they have an interim coach. stacy thank you. >> meantime a mural downtown state college including an image of gerry sandusky has been painted over the artist replaced the image with a blue ribbon on an empty chair, the new image represents child abuse. more on this still developing story we are joined on the phone by a reporter

covering the scandal thanks for taking time out for us. >> glad to be here. >> you know i grew up in pennsylvania, worked in lieu was burg i understand how big penn state and joe paterno is, it is hard to understand what was happening on the campus last night what is the situation now. >> i think the community was reeling from the announcement to some degree people were expecting there were reports president graham spaniard would be stepping down but when the trustees made the announcement joe paterno, his time at penn state would end immediately you could hear the gasps in the room and there was an immediate outpouring downtown state college students were expressing their outrage with the whole situation and how it had been handled. i will just add to that after the streets were filled with what was turning into a riot police issued a dispersele order after midnight last night so far, it seems that was

effective. is there anything expected on campus today? have police issued any washings or -- warnings or guidelines for students? >> so far police have not issued any further warnings we have not received any alerts from the university we are waiting to see, what the administration does at this point penn state trustees were already scheduled to have a meeting tomorrow we are hoping for more information even before then. >> let's look at the big picture for those not familiar with state college this is one of those college towns where the university over shadows the town itself it is a much bigger entity among itself than perhaps the town which makes the university life that much more important was this handled the right way by trustees, by joe paterno? what could have happened here differently and what happened correctly? >> that is one of the issues that came up, one, charges against gerry sandusky and there was questions now about

whether university administrators handled that correctly when alerted to the possibility of sexual abuse by gerry sandusky. two penn state administrators face charges they did not it's fie accurately to the grand jury investigating those charges people were already upset and concerned about the way it was handled by penn state administration. now it has kind of been unfolding, people in the holding pattern waiting to see what is going to happen and there hasn't been a lot of information forthcoming from trustees they -- the chairman, the board, he did defend the way they handled it last night at that press conference you know, they want the look at the issue, with due diligence make sure they fairly considered everything and didn't want to just make an announcement hastily but there was frustration at lack of information available. it is very polar rising there are those who say, look

let's keep it straight there is an issue of abuse in children abused, perhaps, joe paterno is not the person who should be the fall guy for that. everybody is viewing this differently people seem to be strictly adhering to their viewpoint. should joe paterno after saying he would retire after the end of the season should he have had one last chance to coach in happy valley. >> there was that sentiment last night there were gasps when the announcement would be made that his time was over and students took to the streets immediately downtown, they were very upset with the news upset with the media coverage and the night before they surrounded joe paterno's house in state college to show support for him a lot of people did feel that way you should have just been able to have this one final game but i will add, as a caveat to that there were people who felt he should have

stepped down prior to that too. >> you will hear more about it and center daily times in state college thanks. >> thank you. >> follow her coverage online as well. >> we are following a developing story, nationals catcher, ramos, kidnapped in venezuela he was at his home with his fathers and brothers at the time the men drove past a couple times, before forcing ramos into an suv dozens of major league players in venezuela have been targeted by kidnappers in recent times, in hopes of a hefty ransom no word from kidnappers. >> another shake up for the republicans. >> one contender may have dealt himself a serious blow at the gop debate in michigan. sarah. >> rick forry acknowledged debates are not -- perry acknowledged debates are not

his strong point he drove that home last night take a look. >> and i will tell you, it is three agencies of government when i get there that are gone commerce, education and the, what is the third one there [ laughter ] >> oh, five commerce education and the, um, ah,. >> epa. >> there you go. >> seriously? [ applause ] >> is epa the one you were talking about? >> no, sir we were talking about the agencies of government, epa needs to be rebuilt. >> but you can't name the third one. >> the third agency of government i would do away with education -- the, um, commerce and let's see,. >> oh, my. >> the third one i can't sorry. >> a little difficult to watch pun dents were quick to jump on

perry university of virginia, larry sabato tweeted note to my memory perry's forgetfulness is the most devastating moment of any mod earn primary debate. forry beat himself up afterwards saying he was embarrassed the immediate fall out, over shadowed the other candidates on stage. cain talked about the sexual harassment and defended his characters during the debate, calling claims unfounded accusations voters cared nothing about. >> the american people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations. that is what -- now when asked about health care, candidates agree, president obama's law should be appealed and cain went as far

going to pull him out of the rest of the debates i think that would also be harmful a lot of people are majoring right now, who is capable of standing on the stage with president obama, next fall when those debates take place and they are measuring candidate s with that as one of the criteria, certainly not the only criteria but one of the criteria. >> how damaging was it? >> today's social media it is all over youtube, it never goes away like the problem george alan had didn't seem to be a serious problem at the time but got blown out of proportion, this is an enormous thing considering your position, you can't remember the three things you want to make smaller. >> what made it uncomfortable he seemed to refer to his notes he seemed to have a moment to get his thoughts together but

it didn't come back to mind for him for me that was uncomfortable to watch what does that say to someone who might have voted for him. >> people measure presidential candidates in a variety of ways people thing this is some body we are going to send to represent our country to sit down with national leaders, with the head of china or japan or european leaderdo we want some body, who we have a concern, that they will not be able to handle the job, particularly well p. so they measure people based upon those sorts of criteria, and the problem for perry is if this had been one gaffe at one time it would be one thing the fact is last night, it just built upon a narrative that has been there about his campaign for several weeks. >> and ended with him dismissing it like he actually says the word oops because i can't recall it. >> when the pressure is on is when people need to shine when

the president of the united states is put in in difficult position you have to thing on your feet you have to understand all the ramifications seems to me perry dunce great p all that -- -- doesn't grasp all that. the president is put under pressure every day of the week. >> one way i measure people and whether or not i will support them for president, what happens one hour later a major crisis arices in the world who are -- arises in the world who are people who have the depth of judgment to make the right decisions at that point your advisors are all new, you know you don't know who you can rely upon who you can't and you have to have the depth of judgment and i think that is one of the things being evaluated here in terms of this whole field of

candidates. >> let's move on the herman cain did gain momentum with his tax plan, came out money was being thrown at his campaign people started getting onboard and then allegations of sexual harassment and his response to that can we talk about -- this is nothing -- you don't have to be a science major to know politics can be dirty at times dirty, things allegations get thrown back remember when this happened but how did he handle if for you >> i think he handled it terribly one thing i have learned in washington dc you either tell the truth or keep your mouth shut you can't fudge these issues because when you are on the national scene people are going to find out the press is going to find out exactly what happened his flippant attitude gives me great concern and now the latest threat from his lawyer if anybody else comes forward, you better be careful. you are threatening if there is any other women out there we will sue you. that is not the way to handle

it on the national scene. if there are 5,000 who haven't, -- he doesn't handle it well he has not been forthcoming that is why the press continues to keep trying to figure out what happened either you say it or keep your mouth shut. >> well, again, i think the fact that in the earliest days of this, that the story kept evolving, you know there was not a common theme to his answers, that it kept evolving, gave people a sense of discomfort about just what is the whole story, and i think that is what they have to do and from my perspective, remembering of course i am an advisor tonight gingrich. >> i feel much better. >> he is -- newt gingrich. >> i feel much better. >> he is doing really well. but you need to have a real story and put all the facts out on the table.

it seems to me it is to his advantage at the present time for the restaurant association to come out and put all the facts of those agreements, on the table so that everybody knows what the real details are. we -- >> well, maybe. >> you feel it is too late. >> well, -- >> precisely, i understand that, but you know he has to deal with the realities of this situation, at some point. he is running for president of the united states. >> congressman russo, congressman walker see you next week hopefully. we will be right back ththththtt

landscaping so it is opened it up to passers by, and basically returned it to mint condition. >> fantastic, the work has been well done here is my question when this memorial was built this has been here some 80 years now, this was a local memorial a dc memorial we have not had a national world war 1 memorial in washington. will this serve the purpose of a national memorial in addition to local memorial. >> well, right now only in a functional way, in the 1920s when the memorial was conceived, all of our war memorials were local memorials, most viewers if they think back to whatever hometown they came from there was probably a local civil war memorial if they are from the east earn part of the country or a local world war 1 or general world memorial, to world war 1 and world war ii at the time there were no national

memorials this was erected purely local to residents of the district who fought and died in world war 1 it wasn't until the vote than veterans came along if 1981 we -- veterans -- vietnam veterans came along in 1981 we had the first national memorial. for the time being what we have here on the mall now is a de facto war memorial park to the four great wars to have 20th century and visitors to the mall who come here to see the vietnam and korea and world war ii memorials will also have opportunity now to come by this memorial and reflect on world war 1 and generation that fought and served in that war. >> so good to see the money coming through to honor the nearly 500 district residents who lost their lives in world war 1 is the project complete now are you done with the restoration process is there more you would like to do?

>> no, it is done. there are some trees that were planted just in the last couple weeks, but it is basically done the park service worked hard to have all the work done before the reopening to day, obviously tomorrow is armies station day there is a strong drive of it reopened, -- armistice day, there is a strong drive to have it reopened people can come down any time day or night and see for themselves. government workers having a day off tomorrow hopefully they will have the opportunity to come down and take a look at the good work done. thank you so much for joining us this morning congratulations on the project best wishes as you move forward. >> now 8:21 a.m., thank you for that. time now again, 8:21 a.m. did i just say that on a thursday morning it has been called, a snowacane. >> like a snow in a hurricane >> i guess.

welcome back fox 5s holly morris at great beginnings in gaithersburg maryland. >> she is getting great tips on finding the best car seats, strollers and cribs good morning. >> good morning i want you guys to look at something take a look at this furniture section these are all of the different crib and nursery options you have when you come out here to great beginnings, this is just the part you can see where i am standing, now you can see why they are indeed the largest baby and children's furniture store in the u.s. no matter your style they have a crib or changing table or dresser for you, but there are questions you need to ask, when picking out your crib no matter your style that is where tony comes in he is the owner of natar juvenile he wins for coming the farthest to be on our show tell us where you came from.

>> from canada. the factory is in canada. >> thank you for coming. >> it is a pleasure. >> where do you begin. >> first of all you need to decide if you want to go for a regular crib or a convertible crib. >> what is a convertible crib. >> you need to convert later on into a double bed it is a great investment and you really cover the three steps of the child's life, so that means baby, toddler, and teenager. >> so in education sense you could by -- essence you could buy one bed now that will last until they go to college. >> yes for example the back panel became head board of double bed foot panel you put the two sides of the crib and ultimately you will have the longer side rails and voila, you have double bed. >> very good now the next question would be safety

standards. yes, we recommend cribs that meet the latest recommendations, 2011 all the cribs in the market they need to meet those criteria, what i ask you all the parents finally, all the cribs in the market they are safe whether it is a difference between a safe crib and healthy crib, we push the envelope a little forward and decided to apply, and get the green guard certification the most extreme certification in the world, the green guard certification program is super fast for volatile organic compound, so the regulation based on mechanical trends and chemical safety, the green guard which is a voluntary guard is based on intalkable

voc. volatile compounds often associated with respiratory disease, asthma, developmental disorders and allergies, the babies spend approximately 12 or 14 hours, in their crib, and this they are exposed to higher doses of vocs they are four times more likely to develop, asthma. >> so two things tony you are saying baby spends 12 to 14 hours in the crib do you have any tips how to make sure they are sleeping that whole time? >> no [ laughter ] >> darn it i was hoping he was an expert in that as well. you are saying difference between all cribs on the market are basically safe because they have to be. >> exactly. >> but a healthy crib is perhaps a green crib what you are saying basically your child could eat this, chew on it, is it is not going to get sick.

>> not only that, vol time organic come -- volatile organic compounds, they are gases so you cannot see gases so you need to choose. >> real quickly this is a big point i was surprised how long does it take to get a crib in when you order. >> between 8 and 12 weeks. >> so allow yourself time. >> of course >> i can't order today and have it. >> you should. >> no, i am not 8 or 12 weeks away tony but that is okay i already have my crib thank you so much. >> a pleasure. >> myfoxdc.com our website we have a link to nattar juvenile if you want to find out more about their baby line. coming up next hour we are moving on to strollers i think it might be easier to buy a new car than a stroller i am telling you there is so many options we will sort it out in our 9:00 a.m. hour. >> i am glad it is you mama

a lot with teenage parenting, you are still trying to grow up yourself, but at the same time trying to be a parent it is about what happens when those dynamics clash, you don't know who you are but you are trying to impart this wisdom to a child you don't know what that wisdom is yet. >> dynamics of a lot of people in our community especially, you are raised in one fay boar hood go to school in another neighbourhood friends from one neighbourhood so you have to deal with why do i live in this environment why is this my reality you talk about that too as the mom, with a daughter who goes to what is considered a good school out of the neighbourhood. >> right i want her to have a better life than i did you know, and -- but i have to have a more holistic view i am trying to reach at things reaching for the bible, reaching for all kinds of things to do that, and i am failing, but still trying.

like so many parents. >> like so many parents. single parents, parents, homes with two parents ryan again welcome home. >> thank you. >> all right this is your first venture out of the box and already it is getting all this buzz and awards on the film festival, circuit why this movie and tell us a little bit about yourself. >> well, i am from here, born and raised, dc i love and i went to school in new york, i have been in this film industry for a couple years now and this was a story i started while i was in school, started off as a short film, and it just kind of evolved into a feature and like you said, one of the reasons why i wanted to tell this story i felt like at the time, one we hasn't seen too many black young female protagonists i wanted to explore that as a young black female as a main characters and i felt like we had seen, often on film, young

teenagers, having babies, and we hasn't seen that almost adult child raised by a now adult parent and that dynamic of that relationship and trying to bridge that gap, of friend or foe or peer, between a young mother, and a very almost adult child. that was the motivation. was the movie shot entirely in dc? >> just about i did a little bit in new york for the most part it was all shot here. >> fantastic, there is a screening, at the landmark e, street, this evening. >> yes. >> can we still go? can public still go? >> well, we are kind of at our brim for tonight but we will have an after party you can come, to the park and meet the cast and celebrate with us if you like. >> this is a movie that is going straight to dvd >> yes. >> which i guess begs the question is it hard still for

these stories to be told -- is it hard for these stories to be picked up by main stream hollywood as an actor i am sure you deal with this as well. >> absolutely. absolutely i think we still live in a time where, we are pigeon holed as a community it is not a black issue not a black female issue it is a female issue period. i have been saying this over and over again the last couple days i was so excited three of the movies that did so well over the summer were all movies lead by women, and i want to see more of that, and even though our movie is going straight to dvd, i think we are creating -- there is a real marketplace now, in the dvd market, and i hope it will create a domino effect people will see this movie and be interested in those stories and know they are marketable as well. >> before we let you go, i have to say that we love you i haven't seen you on stage but i

loved you on the small screen, silver screen too and in the help, and reading in some of your background and information, that you were raised on a farm by your grandmother in mississippi what was it like to play that role go back in time almost and play that role, where you were raised. >> well, i felt like i was speaking for my ancestors in some way, um, the book was written by a white woman, and i felt the increased she was writing black characterses to be authentic to be real and i wanted to be a part of that movie so badly i fought for that movie because it was shot in mississippi because it was about mississippi women and because the issues that are in that book are still very much alive, there, and everywhere else so it is a continued conversation i was glad to be a part of starting again. >> we are so glad you are part of it as well and everything
