street and kingston drive. the older sister knocked him to the ground and he took off. police looking for help here. a new sex assault case in the district is linked to a serial rapist. police and the fbi say the new assault has been linked to a man already connected to a series of rapes in our area, as well as a murder. last year the fbi started a public awareness campaign to try to drum up tips on the suspect. he's been linked to nine attacks between 1991 and 1998. a break in the sandusky trial. testimony continues monday. prosecution set to be close to wrapping up their case, after three more accusers testified yesterday. one said he thought sandusky's basement was sound proof because no one heard him scream

when he was assaulted. the former penn state football coach is accused of molesting 10 boys. the defense claims the accusers have financial motives. the family of the late penn state football coach joe paterno is releasing his will. it shows his wife sue will get most of his property. the will set up a trust for the rhett of the estate. he passed away in january from lung cancer. his will was supposed to be sealed, but the family released it, saying they wanted to assure transparence i. huguely's attorneys say he can't get a fair trial. back in february, he was convicted of killing yeardly love in may of 2010. love was his ex-girlfriend and a fellow lacrosse player. onto lighter news perhaps.

almost a sure bet, get it, bet? talking about casinos now, there is a possible deal, you heard it here, possibly that mgm may build a casino at the national harbor. >> announcement is scheduled in about two hours where mgm officials are meeting with the governor and state lawmakers today. sherri ly is live with the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, allison, good morning, will. everything now seems to be coming together at the right time for mgm. the company knows this empty lot here overlooking the water front at national harbor is a prime piece of real estate with a casino, with access to millions of potential customers and now it appears mgm and national harbor will soon have a deal. the site is called the plateau at national harbor. the developer, the peterson company, is holding a press conference at 11:15 to make

what it calls a significant announcement. mgm has said it's very interested in building a casino here and it's watching developments closely. governor o'malley has indicated he would call a special session in july if there was a consensus for lawmakers to pass legislation that would allow another casino in the state as well as table gaming. now it looks like that may happen and prince george's county executive likes the possibilities. >> we want a destination resort for prince george's county, because that's where we'll have the economic benefit. i think this speaks well of it, so we're excited. >> reporter: an agreement between national harbor and mgm is a major step. but getting state lawmakers on board is not necessarily a sure thing. legislation that was backed in the senate failed during the regular session. so now they will have to go back to that special session. however, you would expect that mgm and national harbor would not be announcing a deal at this point, unless the odds looked very good.

that's the latest here, back to you. thank you, sherri ly. >> president obama had a busy day on the campaign trail yesterday, and ended the day with a fundraiser at the home of jessica sarah parker. as doug luzader explains, the president pulled in a lot of money for his campaign. >> reporter: 50 people forked over collective $2 million last night. this is about as close as you could get to president obama last night, unless you were willing to pay $40,000 a piece to attend the dinner at sarah jessica parker's manhattan home. >> the president was on my street. that's cool. >> reporter: cool for the president, too, who was capping off a long day campaigning. in ohio it was all about the economy and attacking republicans. >> roll back regulations designed to protect consumers and workers, they promise to

not only keep all of the bush tax cuts in place, but add another $5 trillion in tax cuts on top of that. >> reporter: the president didn't outline new proposals in cleveland, but he did speak for 54 minutes. mitt romney tried to steal some of his thunder with his own event in cincinnati, saying the president's policies were following the path of europe. >> actions speaks very loud. if you want to see the results of his economic policies, look around ohio, look around the country and you'll see a lot of people are hurting. >> reporter: today romney will launch a bus tour of important swing states, six of them, over the next five days. the democratic party is looking closely at that itinerary. they'll have their own bus following romney every step of the way. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. the pilot whose spy plane was shot down over the former soviet union in 1960 will be

honored today. captain francis gary powers will be awarded the silver star at the pentagon this morning. the award is a late honor for powers, who spent two years in a soviet prison. later this morning, an american air force pilot shot down during the vietnam war in 1966 will be buried at arlington national cemetery. lieutenant colonel wallings' remains were recently found and identified. family and friend are in d.c. for this funeral set for 11:15. also will be an air force fly by in honor of lieutenant colonel walling. massive wildfire in colorado is forcing more people from their homes. it's all smoke and flames behind me here. last night it jumped a river sparking new evacuation orders affecting about 80 homes. more than 1300 firefighters and several aircraft are battling

the blaze. the fire considered just 15% contained now. the blaze is the third largest wildfire in the state's history. coming up, game time 7:05 tonight for the nationals, who are red hot right now. >> yeah. talk about hot. 15 games over .500, and now a six-game winning streak. yes, for the nats! what do the nats think? i'm sitting down with a member of the owner's family and one of the big bosses running the nats' operation. more on the red hot nats, hear that, and their dream gala this weekend. we'll be right back.   

no game last night for our first place nats, and that paved the way for ryan zimmerman to hold his third annual night at the park.

in two years, it's hard to raise money in washington these days with the economy, two years he has raised $400,000 for multiple sclerosis. incredible. it's only june and the team is off to its best start in franchise history. can i say it again? best start. let's talk about some of that success with two people definitely in the know. nats' chief operating officer is here, and marla learner tannenbaum, part of the owner's family and dream foundation. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> the learner family, this must be so exciting for an owner's family. >> you know, we're cherishing this time, i have to say. >> come on, can i get some excitement here? >> you know, it's a roller coaster with a baseball team. >> sure. >> it's a marathon every season. i think at this point, after about six years, we really

appreciate the roller coaster aspect of it. since we've been down, we really appreciate the up. >> are you sort of cautiously optimistic? almost don't want to celebrate too much. >> very much. i think after six years in baseball i've become somewhat superstition, so i don't like to talk about what happens in october or anything like that. >> superstition and baseball seem to go hand in hand, don't they? andy, let me talk about the bottom line. the team doing this well, must be great for attendance and merchandizing. talk about that. >> we've always said it's about the fans and the fans in washington have responded like no city i've ever been. up 30% in attendance. full house this weekend. we've had 10 dates where we've been over 35,000 in the park. it's an exciting time to be around the nationals. >> here's a live look now. >> people are probably starting to line up for this weekend now. by the way, get there early tonight. we have bp starting at 4:30. want to see bryce harper, we're

going to open up the left hand seats. he'll hit shots in. get out there early. >> fantastic. i'm going to talk about the series with the yankees in just a moment. but let's talk about bryce harper. few phenoms live up to all the hype. the youngest baseball player on the cover of "sports illustrated." you got him. started him out in aaa. what do you make of this? >> i think he's got maturity beyond his years. on the cover of sport illustrated at 16 years old. when you're around him and see how hard he works, people see him showing up at the park. he's in the weight room, taking extra bp. he enjoys that process i think more than any other player i've been around. and i think that work ethic and passion for the game translates to wholes and -- who he is and

what you see. >> i read a quote in the paper this morning, and a number of people can do what he's doing physically, but mentally, way beyond his 19 years. i have a 19-year-old boy. he's come prepared to the major leagues. something he's been thinking for a long time. >> does your 19-year-old play? >> no, he does not play. he sails. >> no pressure then. let me ask you with strasburg. there's a fear he could reinjure his arm. worried about that? >> i'm not worried about that. they have a plan for steven and going to stick to it. no indication we should be concerned. >> two final questions, first the series with the yankees starts tonight. as you were saying, andy, it really starts long before for the fans. >> you talk about the yankees. nationals playing this weekend.

after school enrichment effort with baseball and softball to bring kids in. three fields and 18,000 square foot academy building. >> web site where people can find out more? >> again, nationals.com back slash dream. >> we're going to post it on our web site, myfoxdc.com, so people can learn more about the good work you're doing. when you sell out an event like you did tomorrow night, you know people are listening. >> we need help. >> congratulations to both of you. fingers crossed for the nats tonight. it begins the series with the yankees. >> see you at the ballpark tonight. >> i'm not sure about that, but if that's an invitation, let me think about that. maybe i can get the good seats. >> standing room only seats available. >> thanks so much, will. comingman who has renewed hope thanks to our house. gwen will introduce us to him. first, let's check back in with our annie yu.

>> yes. i brought easy arts and crafts. father's day is on sunday. but these are crafts you could literally do with your children today and be ready for sunday. >> let's take a look. >> we could start here with this puzzle. this is one of my new favorites. i think we'll start doing it in our kidville camp. it's very easy. take posicle sticks or these wooden sticks at a craft store and your child can pain them. take your favorite photo and put masking tape on the back. you'll tape the sticks together and you'll tape the photo on top of the sticks. you'll take any kind of photo cutter to cut in between the sticks so you have pieces and you can remove the tape. >> how cute. >> from there, you have a cute little puzzle. >> adorable. >> dad would love to put together, but more importantly your little ones would love to put together. >> cute idea. what else?

>> this one is really fun. it involves footprints. can you see it there? >> yeah. >> we've taken dad's shoe, and my two sons' shoes, one is a little bit older than the other. and take paint and put the sole of the shoe in the paint, and it says following in our daddy's shoes. >> love it. >> the trick is use the nonacetone paint and shoes with a little bit of texture on the sole and wash it off right away. don't want to stain dad's shoes. >> spoken like a true mom. >> this i think is a great framer. >> i was going to say, definitely. >> in dad's office or at home. >> we're running out of time. want to get to the other ideas. what is this? >> this is just two cups of flour, cup of water with food coloring in it, and cup of salt. you knead it together and

flatten it and have your child indent a hand print and bake it for 200 degrees for two to three hours. >> getting it together is fun, too. one more thing. >> okay. my dad had this when i was younger. all it is is a can, any soup can. smooth out the edges, so your child doesn't get hurt. then line it with construction may it please and you can take your favorite photo and put contact paper over it to make it clear, or you can take stickers, nuts and bolts, anything that dad loves and glue it on, and it's a perfect pencil holder on their desk and to remind them of their children. >> how cute. how do we get the edges smooth? >> i took a little hammer and hammered out. definitely want to be careful, because of the jagged edges of the can. >> we have enjoyed having you in. and all these ideas hopefully will be on the web, because people at home don't sit there with a pencil and pen.

we'll link it to our web site, myfoxdc.com. but it will go to -- >> kidville.com/bethesda. >> you are wonderful. sorry about that in the beginning. >> no problem. >> we're old friends, so it was just a joke. we'll be right back.    [ female announcer ] with xfinity,

[ male announcer ] it started like this... i speak the language of business. i know how jobs are created. [ male announcer ] but it ended like this. one of the worst economic records in the country. when mitt romney was governor, massachusetts lost 40,000 manufacturing jobs. a rate twice the national average. and fell to forty-seventh in job creation. fourth from the bottom. instead of hiring workers from his own state,

romney outsourced call center jobs to india. he cut taxes for millionaires like himself... while raising them on the middle class... and left the state two point six billion deeper in debt. so now, when mitt romney talks about what he'd do as president... i know what it takes to create jobs. [ male announcer ] remember, we've heard it all before. i know how jobs are created. [ male announcer ] romney economics. it didn't work then, and it won't work now.

have kids, when you're getting ready to have kids, when you're pregnant, people say, your life will change, your life will never be the same. that is true. >> so true. >> that's why you really understand how important it is to be ready, and so yeah, the fact that once that baby drops, then your life is truly changed. it's all about them, it's not about you. their needs are more important than yours. >> right. >> all those ideas of what you want to be kind of change. it's about the babies. >> we're showing pictures, your relationship, i can just say, and i tell you this all the time with the kids, i couldn't ask for a sweeter and better man to raise our kids. we're going to show these pictures all through this. let me ask you about an aha moment. was there a moment where you said, okay, i thought i was doing this right, maybe i can tweak this a little bit, it's not working out, did you have a moment or two like that? >> i don't think we had a problem with spanking for

discipline. i think one time i was spanking baby, i think she was 3 at the time, which sounds ridiculous to me now -- >> that's baby now. >> i saw my reflection, and here i was this 300-pound guy spanking this 3 or 4-year-old kid, and i realized, i don't know this is a great teaching method. i'm not necessarily against spanking as far as that line you don't cross. >> right. >> but you know, in anger. that was the other thing. you have to be in control. you have to be in control when you discipline your kids. you have to be in control to teach control. >> you weren't too big of a person to say i'm not doing this the right way. i could switch it up a little bit. >> i'm not doing it the right way. >> you're in a man, in a house dominated by women, me and the little three. i thought you guys looked so much alike i asked you to do that picture. how important is it for a man to be in a girl's life do you think? >> i think the advantage i had,

i was raised by a single mom and i was surrounded by aunts. so my relationship with women is very good. and i understand, i think that loving relationship with women, especially your wife, is so important when you have girls, because you're showing them how to love and what to expect and what kind of man they should expect. >> they are always watching. >> they are always watching. not just the wife, but how do you treat the mother, grandma. all these relationships with women. and i think that is very important. you can't, you know, talk the talk and not walk the walk. >> right. >> i think respecting, showing r and love, that's very important. >> let me ask you about that, marc had a long standing radio show in baltimore, now in d.c., but you would talk and joke about the fact you didn't have a dad in your life. you met him one time. on a serious note, i know it can be very damaging. but you have sort of risen above that and for all of the dads out there, or the people

out there who are growing up in single family homes, what's the advice there, beyond just, you know, stay strong, you can do it, look at all the people who have done it. it wasn't an excuse for you. >> yeah. >> it never stopped you. so-- >> i think two things, i think my mother never painted my father negatively. she let me come to my own conclusion. it wasn't negative, it was i missed him. i think the key is, as -- what would you want? what did you miss? what did you want your dad to be? be that. >> right. >> you know. >> let's go to a picture, please. can we show a picture? >> for guys who, i think that's what you got to focus on. >> there it is. >> what did you want your father to be and be that. >> look at that. that's what our girls want their dad to be and you've done that for them. >> and for the fathers not in their lives, it's never too late. reconnect with that kid, that

daughter, that son, because they want their father. i think it's never too late. no matter if you feel like you haven't been a good father. it's never too late to start trying to be a good father. >> at the end of the day, we've been showing the pictures, there's our big girl right there. the pictures through the years. what's really the advice? as i started by saying, there is no manual when you come home from the hospital. if you could get a take home message, or give one, what would it be? >> i'd say just love them. if you do everything in love, and realize that you're shaping young minds and you're shaping a young person, and their yours, it's your legacy, i think that's it. i think if you just love, love, love, you can never go wrong. >> i said on the show i think last week, my dad was the wisest person i know. marc, you are the kindest, sweetest, most sensitive person that i know. sorry to make you cry. but you're not going to make me cry today, no, sir. i will be right back with more.
