blocked on the inner loop. things have changed. it looks like traffic is slowing approaching 95 in maryland. they moved the crash to the left shoulder but we are feeling the impact and backed up to colesville road. i suspect that will start to break apart in the next five to ten minutes. moving to westbound on the suitland parkway at nailer road more crash activity to watch for. 395 is slow from the beltway to seminary and then again from the pentagon to the 14th street bridge. what's up on 66? heading eastbound no incidents to tell you about. looking at a 15-minute commute from nutley to the capital beltway and inbound new york avenue from the times building to bladensburg road we are below speed and 34th and wisconsin avenue watch for crash activity. surrounded by family this morning, eunice kennedy shriver died at a massachusetts hospital. she was 88 years old. kennedy shriver became well known as president kennedy's

sister but made her mark by establishing special olympics. karen brown takes a look back. >> reporter: although she lived in the shadow of her more famous relatives, eunice kennedy have shriver had a long list of accomplishments of her own. she was a tireless advocate for the mentally challenged. shriver founded the special olympics in 1968, using sports as a way to empower the intellectually handicapped. that is event is still going strong with 2 million people in 160 nations around the world taking part in the sports competitions and programs. >> by your presence you send a message to every village, every city, every nation, a message of hope, a message of victory. >> reporter: she also spent plenty of time on the campaign trail with her husband sergeant shriver who ran for vice

president in 1972 and her kennedy brothers. shriver watched proudly as daughter maria's husband took california politics by storm. >> my mother-in-law is the true terminator and she gives us all orders and you do this and that and she is all over the place and very enthusiastic and very strong. >> reporter: but it was shriver's work for the mentally disabled that brought her accolades and established her legacy as a champion of the disadvantaged. karen brown, cbs news, new york. the shrivers hosted the best buddies charity ball at their potomac home for years. we are joined by phone from new york. mr. leon. good to have you with us. i read you called her the greatest american woman an hero win our generation has known. >> well, it is a very sad day

but i think it is more about celebrating unbelievable life. a historic life. and mrs. shriver was an authentic american hero. the work she did touched honestly millions and millions of lives and when you look at the shriver family, special olympics and peace corps and best buddies, they really epitomize what public service is all about. and mrs. shriver was such a role model for so many people around the world. certainly, you know, in our local area. this is a huge loss for our community. >> reporter: talk about that first meeting. you met her when you were a student in georgetown way back in 1976. >> i did. maria was my classmate at georgetown and invited us to the shriver residence and knocked on the door and she said, you must be maria's friend. we want to go play tennis.

kenny is here. he wants to play tennis, here's a squeegy. you have you play you have to work. so the first time i ever met her she put me to work. >> when is the last time you spoke with her or the family members about how ill she was. >> well, we knew -- how mrs. shriver was doing over the last, i'd say six months but i sat next to her at a dinner nine months ago and she was my date. she said i was her date and she was so mentally together and she was just -- she could remember conversations that we had ten years ago and really all she talkedded to me about was a platform we had with the internet and with sports and never lose sight of you know a ball can change your life.

and sports is a platform and can help individuals. that's what special olympics was all about. so she just was a once in a life time kind of heroine and her memory will be celebrated for, you know, decades an she really is one of the greatest people i have ever met in my life. >> thank you for sharing your memories of eunice kennedy shriver, her life and legacy. >> thank you. take care. as we mentioned, eunice kennedy shriver campaigned tirelessly for the rights of the disabled and helped to find the special olympics. we are joined live in northwest washington. armando, good morning. >> good morning. eunice kennedy shriver wasn't just the honorary chairperson and founder of the special olympics. you can say it was its heart and soul. >> reporter: eunice kennedy shriver founded the movement in 1968 as a way to foster

acceptance, understanding and respect for people with intel lecture disabilities. it grew from several hundred athletes to 3 million worldwide. and to small villages in every corner of the planet. her dream of a better and richer life for boys and girls and men and women with intel lecture disabilities is a reality and even as her death is being mourned they are legacy is remembered and with us is the president of special olympics. first of all our condolences on your loss. >> thank you very much. it has been a tough night as you can imagine for the special olympics family. >> reporter: eunice wasn't elected president or senator or appointed attorney general like her brothers but you could make an argument her legacy maybe as impactful and long living as her three brothers. >> we certainly think so. eunice adopted a population that had been marginalized for

centuries all over the world and created a movement from a simple concept around sports in is 968 to something that is in virtually every country in the world and as you mentioned over 3.2 million athletes. it is truly incredible. >> what does it do now to honor her? >> we, one of our board members reminded me of a great mrs. shriver quite quote that special olympics is owned by the future and not the past. i woke up this morning when i got that call and was reminded of that quote and all of us in the special olympics movement know the tunes now. we have 3.2 million athletes and 200 people around the world with developmental disabilities. we have more challenges and opportunities ahead of us and i think the legacy for us will be strengthening what she has built permanently. >> you have eunice kennedy shriver moment to share with us all the time you have known and worked with her? >> i have only had a brief opportunity to be with her, but the point that i shared with

you before, i had an opportunity of meeting her and when she -- i mentioned to her i wish i had the opportunity to see some things in the earlier days and she stopped me dead in my track and he said let me tell you something, you are the future of this movement and she says that to just about everyone she sees it becomes a source of personal information. no matter if you have been with special olympics 40 years or one day it is that spark that she incites within you for action and for inspiration for giving back in ways that you probably never would have dreamed before. >> we hope that spark lives on a long time and we wish you a lot of luck and our condolences on your loss. a lot of loss but a lot of hope and love at the special olympics an an extraordinary woman is remembered. back to you at the information center. >> thank you. we have much more coverage of the life and legacy of

eunice kin did shriver on our website at wusa9.com. on our front page story you will find a slide show and the entire statement issued by the special olympics about her death. police are investigating why a leesburg man's pit bulls apparently turned on their owner. a family member called police after 20-year-old cartny lade didn't answer his door. officers found him dead in his base and believe his two pit bulls attacked him. they also found other dogs. >> one dog was found deceased, in the house, a smaller breed dog, another dog was laalive, found in a one >>n ook, e of delany's friends claim he may have en bee trying to protect his mother's dog from the others. police are tht llpibuars e dolt e pit bulls are currently in the air of animal control pending the outcome of the investigation. michael vick is appearing on 60 minutes this sunday. it will be his first interview since admitting to dog fighting and going to prison for that. that is this sunday august 16th

at 7 p.m. here on channel 9. this pit bull pup is a real trooper and that's actually her name. animal control officers say they are amazed she survived after being stuffed in a plastic bag, sealed with duct tape and left in a dumpster in southeast dc. the dog chewed a hole in the bag and managed to survive. she is being treated at an animal hospital. $1,000 reward is offered to help in this case of animal cruelty. another day of temperatures in the 90s means more of us will be seeking relief. area cooling centers and dc pools opened early to give more people the chance to beat the heat. not everyone can make it but we asked them how do they stay cool? >> take a bath, take a shower, you stay inside, air conditioning. >> reporter: experts warn this weather can be dangerous. they suggest waiting until dusk to exercise outside or to cut the grass. plus, remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. the heat could also slow

down the commute for marc riders. csx ordered trains to slow down on the camden and brunswick lines yesterday afternoon during the rush hour as temperatures peaked in the high 90s. metro has ordered a safety stand down for most of the maintenance workers after an ight-yee died on sund. pind 63 eaolchd r-naaemiwashl s r- struck and uipment while working near st ween ofthe geor an ne. eeoywho work oneethe actr ksac are giving additional safety training. the training will last four days. today president obama could face an angry crowd as he outlines his health care reform plan at a town hall meeting in new hampshire. >> so, let me try to get through this. thank you. >> reporter: senator ben cardin tried to address an audience last night at towson university in baltimore. people yelled at the democrat as he tried to outline president obama's health care reform plan. >> the taxpayers of this

country pay over the next ten years are going to pay an extra $150 billion because of the private insurance option in medicare. it is cheaper to be in traditional medicare han the private insurance option. the government runs it more effectively than the private sector. >> reporter: senator cardin struggled at times to be heard over the crowd inside. people protested waving flags and placards. what's behind the anger and health care debate and how much misinformation is out there. with me is bet senior political analyst and george mason political analyst. some anger is coming from gop con servetives an around the country. sarah palin two days ago the america she loves the one of her parents and her down syndrome babies will have to stand in front of obama's death

panels she calls so they can decide the treatment. such a system is down right evil. over overnight she said we must stick to the issue and not get sidetracked by tactics that cube accused of leading to harassment or intimidation. this is the letter of anger but he is drawing back. why a change in her tone and what about other leaders in the opposition party and con servetives. >> she probably drew back because it was a republican plan that was brought forward. the democrats decided to adopt it and move in. it was a group of physician and advisers who were going to advise, an outside, independent and it wasn't the idea that the democrats -- she probably got the memo that was their idea. >> i want to add she also pulled back because somebody convinced her what she said was ridiculous and not particularly helpful to the larger debate. the reality health care is the single issue of our time.

and we have a debate that is about arguments not issues. so sarah palin contributed to that and i think the pull back statement is an attempt to put the toothpaste back in the tube but as you can imagine more people heard the first statement than will hear the second. >> what about the democrats? everyone says, the president says i haven't seen the entire plan. in is a document that is still incomplete. aren't they partly responsible for why there is so much misinformation out there. because we don't know what the plans are. >> there is something to that. but i would argue some of that starts with the white house. because president obama's plan and they are now getting up with the website and other things to fight back against some of these statements and coverage and arguments but the reality is they need to coordinate better with the democrats to get the message out. because what we are hearing right now is driven by the opponents of the plan.

>> opponents of the plan are well organized because it is the insurance industry. they are working well with the members of congress that they give money to because the insurance reform for them will be a cost cut but it will also be a cost increase. they are trying to control both. we have to realize, 47 million more people maybe sure insured. the insurance industry will make more money, not less money. they want to control how much they make and how they make it. what people don't understand is it is insurance reform an the industry is trying to make sure once once you enter the system they get the best bang for the buck when you you've. >> three issues are dragging down the president's approval ratings and they say it is the economy, health care reform and the professor henry lewis gates affair. has the gop been able to capitalize on the president's

losing some popularity. >> i think it is only natural that a president's approval ratings will decline once he gets in office. i'm not surprised at that. look at many polls he is at or above 50% from my perspective is pretty good. if he able to get a health care reform package through and provides more coverage for people, and the employment situation turns around, whatever problems he had with gates will be washed away. >> i don't think any of those things adding up to that. i think we see the natural course of him being the president now. he has left the honeymoon stage and people are looking at the work he has to do, even black voters but what is important is things are being done and it did not hurt unemployment numbers for fewer people to lose their jobs and the number to stay away from 10% that people are hopes he didn't hit. >> it will be an interesting

summer vacation for the president as well. kim has a break the heat wave and much more moderate temperatures coming up in the seven-day forecast. plus, a typhoon has weakened but causing destruction in several neighborhoods. and closer to home a meeting tonight may pave the way for plans to clean up bay we'll be right back.

divers have found all but one

of the victims in the crash over the hudson river. one body cannot be retrieved because it is in the plane. the heavy rains from typhoon are triggering landslides a mudslide over a remote mountain village in taiwan left 400 people unaccounted for and a landslide in china toppled seven apartment buildings. a big meeting tonight could help to shape the future of the chesapeake bay. environmental agency officials will meet with activist and concerned citizens at saint phillips episcopal church. here's kim with an update on the cooler than yesterday forecast. >> yeah. we have to tell everybody the high yesterday was 97. so when we say 93 today that is actually good news, everybody.

it is great to see youment get started with a look ahead. the next three days, each day is an improvement on the day before. so tomorrow will be in the 80s and then on thursday, we should be enjoying weather in the middle 80s and not so stormy. the forecast for later this afternoon, right now, frederick is checking in with 81. they are in the lower to middle 70s out to martinsburg. 81 cumberland. 82 quantico. it is 82 inside the beltway and as we check out southern maryland, beautiful patuxent river, 83. 81 across the bay. here's the satellite-radar loop showing the clear skies this morning, turning partly cloudy to the west. in to the mountains. this is where we will get a little lift in the atmosphere. we have a front that is also closing in on the mountains first. those things will help to lift the air and generate the thunderstorms first. we will give it later in the afternoon before highs here.

the 93. they will be closing in and starting to pop around the beltway by 3:00 this afternoon. if you have travel plans, west coast is interesting up here. san francisco 65. seattle 67. 81 in l.a. we have the big temperature changes. as we focus on chicago, 81 today and 92 for new orleans. let's talk about this front. it is setting up shop over pittsburgh at the moment but it has eyes on the mid-atlantic states later today and a little bit of a leftover shower activity tomorrow. we will be north of the front tomorrow and therefore cooler. today we have southerly winds kicking in. bringing some steam off the atlantic ocean off of the gulf stream and that will be lifted along that front. and the witching hour, 0 so to speak is between 3:00 and 7. if you have plans an that time, bring the umbrella. and you can alter outdoor plans and get some things done the first part of day i think you will be in good shape. the seven day looking good

tomorrow if you don't mind a couple of storms leftover, 87. the pick of the week is thursday, 85. in to next weekend a couple of isolated storms on saturday. don't forget you can get my forecast as early as 4:00 clock in the morning. if you follow me on twitter my i.d. name is weather kim. not yet mrs. weather kim even 0 that happened a few weeks ago. back to you, andrea. secretary of state hillary clinton is making a major pitch for development during her 11 day tour of africa. she is concerned with the role of women and is pushing for change. the manager of africa world connect at the national peace corps association. thank you for being with us. that was a mouthful saying what you are manager of. what is the organization? >> it is a brand new on-line community where people who have lived and worked in africa, including members of the african, return peace corps

volunteers and peace corps volunteers come together and discuss their best ideas for development in africa. >> why did you believe on-line would be the best way to formulate ideas? >> we want a diverse number of people to participate in the site. right now we have users from over 50 countries adding their ideas. so we it that being on-line was the best way reach a massive audience and get in touch with people who have had these experiences. >> reporter: as i said, secretary hillary clinton is in africa now. she was just in angola in the congo and has been talking about enormous economic po ten national many of these countries and how we should help them develop their potential and how it could help develop the united states. what about the topic of development. have they addressed the tour so far? >> as she mentioned, agriculture is really sort of a driving force within the

economy of moving africa forward. we have asked people to focus on topics including managing water resources, reducing carbon losses helping people improve theiring a gray business including women and we want to ask people to help us come up with creative ways to communicate with the african farmer. in a sense this website is sort of an example of that we want to get in touch with rural farmers, peace corps volunteers. anyone who has been on the ground and use this communication tool to tell us what their needs and what are the solutions they can imagine. >> reporter: you were in the peace corps, as well. it sounds as if that network is definitely crucial to continuing their work even after they leave the active corps service. >> this website really was started, it was a brain child a few years ago of return peace corps volunteers who were trying to figure out how to extend their service and use some of the experiences they gained living in a mud hut, no

electricity and running water and really continue to give back and so, we hope to continue to utilize these experiences to overall-world impact. >> you talk about helping the rural africa. but they are probably least connected to some of these on- line services. how do you get them involved in solving some of their own problems. >> as i mentioned, we really want to help to connect with peace corps volunteers. >> so volunteers. >> also we want to be in touch with those who are left the continent but a primary source of that information. so that farmer can try to communicate with their sister or brother who has access to the internet and can help give them a voice. >> have any of those ideas that people have shared already come to fruition that you see this website is truly making a difference. >> we are working on that we

hope to help them start to implement some of the ideas as soon as possible. we are actually running a contest and each month we are awarding the best ideas with some prize money to help implement those ideas and then after a four-month time period going on right now we will offer $20,000 to the best idea to help that idea get off the ground. >> good work. >> absolutely. >> thank you for being here. we will provide a link to the africa rural connect at the national peace corps association website on our website at wusa9.com. you may have a good idea that could be worth money and help someone else. if your summer budget is stretched to the limit, our frugal social it is here with how to enjoy the finer things without breaking the bank. and if you thought only babies benefited from breast- feeding, find out about the benefit it could fa fo mothers long aft they have stopped nursing. we'll be right back.

>> it is a root beer float bar. i have played with the recipe about three years and tested it on a lot of friends. when the governor's local challenge came up i thought this is a time for me to pull it all together and come up with a particular recipe. i came up with a root beer float bar. this is something a chef could serve for dessert. root beer float is not a dessert. i want to come up with a dessert. it is a simple cake that is glazed with a root beer cake. >> i love it. take me through the cake process. >> we have the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together and this is root beer, butter and eggs. >> now, it is actually root beer from this? you were showing me another sneaky ingredient. >> i guess the sneaky ingredient is root beer extract which you find at home brew stores. >> as in beer making. >> yeah. >> you can't find it in a grocery store. >> no but on-line.

>> good tip. thank you for sharing that. so you mix. >> i can smell the root beer already. >> these are dry and wet ingredients and you mix them together and pretty simple. you just want to make sure all of your ingredients are combined thoroughly. >> we should let everyone know while you are mixing these up we have the food processor in the kitchen aid and you don't want it to be butter so you keep adding adding confectioners sugar to the cream base. >> you can add that in there and then add more extract. it is a really brown dessert, very root beery. and when i pour this you will probably get a nice smell. it will come back up. we can crank it up a bit. >> add the rest of this? >> uh-huh. >> and then we have more root beer with gelatin and the gelatin is what actually lets it set. >> have you always been in love

with root beer? >> well, i guess maybe [ laughter ] i guess maybe. it is not something i readily admit. it is a really nice flavor. >> here we go. what we will do is tell everybody that on the other side of the break we will test this and taste it and see the finished cake and we want you to know that the recipe for this is on our website at wusa9.com. stay with us. we will check out the seven-day forecast and wall street when we see you coming up next.
