some fought is persisting this morning. at the afternoon progresses, we will warm up. 62 at the airport. 79 with some sunshine trying to peek through. looking good. the first day of the fall forecast coming up. let's check out traffic. >> northbound i-95 at the 895 area on the southwest side, and medical: some police activity. otherwise looking good. there may be some congestion near the maryland state fair grounds. not much else going on elsewhere. fort mchenry is looking good. the problem free ride greenspring. that is the latest on traffic. back over to you. >> first lady michelle obama ways into the health-care debate. she will be speaking about women and families affected by the health-care debate. >> our reporter is in washington with more. >> is mom's old advice and healthy eating run of the table. >> can the u.s. afford major health-care change? backers of the baucus plan in the senate, the lowest cost plan yet. >> it is budget neutral. >> republicans do not buy that. >> you can count on it costing $10. >> massachus

okay we're going to add some olive oil. some pepper. some salt.that were in the sauce because that will help us to simulate more flavor. you always want more flavor. okay, now you just go in here with your hands again and mix it until it's all combined. remember that tofu, while most people go, "ew tofu," doesn't really taste like anything. so how you season this is how you're going to pull your lasagna together because you can make it taste like anything you want. okay i'm just going to go to the sink and wash my hands because now i need to assemble and i need my hands to be clean to do that. i'll be right back. okay, so we have a regular lasagna dish. you'll need a 9 by 13 to do this. and now you just start building. it's that simple. a little bit of gravy on the bottom. you just want to cover the bottom of the pan. this is so the noodles don't stick. you're actually creating like a cushion between the noodles and the pan. a little more... okay now we start. just layer noodles. you want to cover the whole bottom of the pan as much as you can. an

next i'm gonna add some fennel-- slice that right into the dish for some extra flavor. and now, watch this guys. just gonna take off the top... life the disk... and now... we... are ready to shred. so i'm just gonna add the cheese and look how beautifully that shreds right on top. now, all i need to do is add a little fresh ground pepper and a little bit of half-and-half and our 30-second potatoes au gratin is ready for the oven. >> wow, that was really fast. >> even you can't make it that fast, martha. [laughter] >> now we've prepared our meat, we've prepared our potatoes and now, i think it's time to prepare our veggies. now, watch this-- i'm just gonna run through some zucchini... and then i'm just gonna run through some yellow squash. look how quick and easy that is. now, have you noticed, all the slices are the same thickness, so that means they all take the same amount of time to cook. now, finally, i'm just gonna run through some beetroot, just for a bit of color-- look at that. now, have you noticed that all goes directly into the steamer basket? so in just 15 s

some very strong winds have been coming in with this system. down toward the virginia eastern shore, windy and wet on the coast. some of those showers have continued to work their way up and our direction. we carried showers back across the bay and in the southern maryland. after midnight, certainly in the early morning hours friday, some wet weather will make its way into our region. even though we have not had a bunch of rain, the temperature is much cooler than normal. the normal height is still up around the 80 degree mark. 61 in oakland, a chilly day there. at 68 in westminster. at wilmington, delaware checking in at a cool 62. gusts at 35 in the last hour at ocean city. you see the showers offshore. the center of the low pressure area is moving off the mid- atlantic coast. it is almost in the mountains as we head toward friday morning. 58 to 63 for the overnight low. winds 15 to 20. he did see the split decision across the state here. clouds along the bay and offshore. some sun breaking through in the western sections of maryland and the

with some heavy rain. maybe some unwanted more rain, moderate to heavy with some thunder and lightning across georgia and alabama as well as florida. maybe some rain for the carolinas, ohio valley, into the upper midwest. and parts of the central plains. but elsewhere no travel problems weatherwise. for us, our part of the world, we've got a front that is off to our west. this front will begin to drift down over us and bring in some cooler air and some drier air as well, pushing this humidity away as we do get into the afternoon hours. here's the bus stop forecast for the rest of the morning. partly to mostly cloudy and remaining humid through the morning, temperatures in the low and mid-70s so dress accordingly for a summer like day. in fact, by later on this afternoon coming back from work and school we'll be in the mid-80s and partly sunny. turning less humid. cloudy tonight and should be cloudy for the nats and dodgers at nationals park. it will be in the upper 70s by first pitch time at 7:05. the rest

is there some wiggle room? >> the insurance companies have had a very long time to demonstrate their sense of responsibility to the greater good. i think that they have demonstrated that we need a public option. i respect what the senator is saying, and my understanding among those who support a trigger is that it would be at very robust public option wind comes in. it was not one of these pull the trigger, and one of those little flags pop out. they may prefer a compromise to a more robust one later one. all this is to be negotiated. our committees have passed out bills and we're waiting to see the second committee in the senate. as we go back, we're working on that now, going back to our members and find our consensus, take it to the floor. and then we go to congress. the senate will work its will, and it is really important for the leadership of the president of united states. without his leadership, we would not be where we are, police to do something very historic. i am very confident about that -- poised

you'll see some gusty winds. with these hot temperatures, that really does increase the fire danger there rather substantially. well, this area of low pressure right here is the troublemaker across the deep south. heavy rain continues even as we go into the forecast for sunday. and you know what? that's just not going to change very much here over the next couple of days. here comes a frontal system for the west coast. as we watch that front move through for billings and for cody, extending toward salt lake city, those temperatures are headed downward, a good 10 to close to 20 degrees in some cases. back to you. >> thank you. >>> a lack of affordable, reliable transportation is keeping too many families mired in poverty. but our cnn hero has a solution that is turning lives around. can you believe students are being stumped by questions like this? who is the first u.s. president? is the education system failing our students? we'll take a closer look. canopy egyptian cotton sheets are designed to get softer every

some sort. we don't know the details of that. although i've heard reports of bloody clothing being found, i'm not even sure if that, in fact, is the case. there will be more details as police reveal more information about the investigation. at this point, that's all we know about those issues regarding how she died. >> all right. we also expect the yale president to speak at 11:30 and take a statement, reportedly, though, not taking any questions. ron allen, thank you very much. >>> california investigators at this hour found more bone fragments in a search of phillip and nancy garrido's home and property next door. they're not sure if the fragments are human or animal. they're accused of kidnapping, rape and imprisonment of jaycee dugard. >>> at least 16 people are dead and dozens more injured in a suicide car bombing in afghanistan. the bomber slammed his car, filled with explosives into two italian military vehicles. this happened in kabul. six italian soldiers and 10 afghan civilians were ki

but does he certainly need to lay out some strong prarpler thes, some guideposts, some... if you will channel the discussion so that congress knows what what the range of acceptable is. and then i think the individual members of the house and senate could see if they can get there. >> rose: what's the leverage the president has? >> well, he sternly has... well, we've seen some lev recommend already, right, charlie? i think that two weeks ago the negotiators in the finance committee under senator baucus' leadership were saying "well, we'll take as long as we need." all of a sudden today there's a plan on the table. >> rose: (laughs) so what does that say to you. >> suddenly senator baucus is saying "we're going to mark up next week." >> rose: (laughs) that's true. >> so he has a lot of cloud, he showed some passion yesterday in his labor day speech. he's got to get that passion back in front of the american public, i think. >> rose: and what's the most important lesson from the clinton effort? >> you know, i think that... i would say two things. one is that it... and this i

when you dulces specifics where some of the people smoke, some are overweight, some are under way and some drink excessive amounts of caffeine. so we put a variety of profiles and again this is 14 cents. 12 of these were with my daughter and the other two is -- ecial agent. this is what we got and it's interesting. i mentioned the websites claimed and what they predicted were these various types of increase risk if you will to the various typeof conditions, some very serious. i heard discussion here, diabetes is one of them, osteoporosis, a cancer. reduced ability to clear toxins, high blood pressure, heart disease and brain aging which i believe i am getting at this point. this is some of t specifics from the aual results and again there's a lot of detl behind bad but a coupl of things and you can all read through them about issues related to the ability to speenineteen cholesterol. and then age related conditions so there was discussion of damaged dna. at the time we did this come and it sounds like probably still the experts we consulted with said the predictions didn't have a basi

the reality of that is that some unions do and some do not. there are all sorts of considerations that go into that, but there is hardly any record there, any claim out there, any proof that somehow this has been a corrupting influence at the state level. >> there is no track record at the federal level, because fort 62 or 102 years, depending on how you want to count it, these expenditures have been prohibited. >> one thing about the contribution expenditure distinction. there are circumstances across the body of campaign finance law with there is no question that has been very significant. very recently justice kennedy blue right past it and completely ignored it because he believed that it was not stated x -- stated clearly. huge expenditures have the potential -- it was alleged to be the effect of dominating a particular race. the contributor could have claimed to be the author of the victory. some thought he was. in those circumstances, the contribution expenditures dissolved. with restrictions, talking about corporations, a similar quest

some drivers call this too much. the first part set to open next fall is well underway. >> from a convenience. of you, but it is great. it sounds relatively hh. >> planners are releasing the preliminary price tag. off-peak drivers will pay up will 30 cents a mile. the average trip totals up to about $2. >> i would rather get stuck in traffic than $2. >> the icc will link gaithersburg to laurel, running a distance of 19 miles. you'll pay $6 to run the entire length. >> it is the economy. it is not fair. >> i was hoping it would be free. it costs a lot of money to build it. i'm not going to complain. >> the proposed tolls are not final. final comment is still open. officials hope to have this firmed up by the end of the year. >> thank you. >>> some police video is providing new clues in a man who kidnapped a woman last thuray. it began in gainesville and ended in temple hills. a camera captured the person scrambling to a way. if you recognize this person, you're asked to call the virginia state police. >>> maryland is

there were some storms there yesterday. some more may develop later on today.s, i think we'll remain dry although i think we'll get some clouds pushing in here during the course of the afternoon. sunshine this morning. more clouds build in later. rather breezy. winds oust west 10 to 15 miles per hour ter today. high about 70 degrees. that will do it for your high for today. that's it. we'll have more weather coming up shortly. >> i love it. >> sound like a good one. >> if you are traveling northbound i-95 in virginia, we do have reports of an accident near the 234 dumfries. keep your eyes peeled for that. lanes are open right now southbound along 270. no accidents to report headed out toward the lane divide. if you are traveling along 66 east of nutley street, no incidents to report for those continuing east of nutley headed in towards the capital beltway. light traffic volume. we are still at speed on the beltway between an an del and merrifield. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. -- between annandale and merrifield. that's a check of your fox 5 on-

for more on the extended forecast, and bring us some good news. >> we're hoping for some better weatherweekend. saturday it looks like a transitional day. the rain will pick up in intensity towards the evening. it is breezy out there. some heavier showers are possible. low to mid 70's. you can see it will be happening. this system is working its way out of here. early saturday, still some early cloud cover. through the afternoon, some improvement with clearingskies and mild conditions. saturday afternoon, you are looking ok. sunday and monday, same deal. we're getting back to more of a normal pattern. today, probably the best chance of rain. it hasn't been to appreciable. i think ichanges. >> a deer ran out and hit a vehicle northbound on the george washington parkway. you'll find one lane block. southbound books pretty cool. more traffic is now making its way into dale city. left side is through springfield to get up to the pentagon. this is the pace on 270. this is out of frederick into montgomery county. route 7 eastbound between the river creek parkway and the battle creek parkway,

and of course some people can point to some success, that they're growing, that they're reaching out to larger groups of people. right after the 2008 election there was some real discouragement among religious conservatives, although some of those individuals i've interviewed noted that they were pretty discouraged before the election, because things were not really going the way that they had hoped. but there's a renewed sense of hope on that side as well. there's a sense that they have a way that they can now engage in the political process and that some of the things that president obama wants to do are not popular with some parts of the public. and religious activists see an opportunity on the right to mobilize some opposition. so they've really moved from being quite discouraged to being quite optimistic and quite active. but it's a different role; it's a role of being in opposition and not the role of having the insider connections. one of the things we know about religious conservatives going all the way back to the days of the moral majority, is that they tend to prosper in o

and what they're saying, very controversial, some saying this is no big deal and some saying -- >> someying it is. it's more so the lesson plan and the president speaking, but we got one on our blog this morning that really caught our attention and i'm showing it to you here and this coming from someone whom we have touched base and works at the school in virginia where the president is going to be speaking on tuesday. she writes in response toment of so the other comments you're seeing and the coverage saying you naysayers should see the excitement in our kids' voices as we've been preparing all week for the big speech. our building is old and has major issues all the time. the other schools have been renovated and are new. we are scheduled for a new building in ten years because of the recession. our kids are walking a bit taller and smiles beaming on their faces. do you get it? there's a feeling of pride. she goes on to say at the bottom here, again, this is from someone who works at the school where the president is speaking on tuesday, goes on to say, i think it's an historic momen

and then some more about it and then some more about it.ogized again and apologized and again. it gets to the point where you can go back and beat and reprimand and whatnot, acknowledging on that front, but the measure of all of our lives is not when we fall down, because we will fall down, but the question is how do we get back up? and they're real question for all of us south carolinians is where do we go from here? i talked about earlier that we have a real opportunity. you are often doing this and that. we have that first chance in 6.5 years to litigate the issue of restructuring and make some real changes and move away from the out mandated models -- the outdated models, are we going to change economic development, and that is more important. if you want to go back to this other stuff, i cannot apologize more than i possibly have. and then this other has been pure politics. you go to the bottom line of where this administration has been on, on airplanes, all of those different things, we have a compelling lead good record. and our love

some of the vegan cheeses don't melt really well, but some of the cheeses just say that they're dairy-freeomething called casein which is a butter fat, in which case, you might as well just be eating dairy. so, try to find the ones that are vegan. there's some really nice ones out there that don't taste like rubber and actually have a good flavor and the ability to melt because of the way they're processed. so, again, it's fun food, this is not something you wanna keep in their diet every day, but you know, it gets you over that, "i want mac and cheese," thing. okay, that should give us enough. so we're gonna add some almond milk-- you can use soy or rice milk. i like to use almond milk for this because it brings a little bit of sweetness to it, which you don't always get in the others without adding sugar. a tiny bit of pepper... if your kids don't like it, don't use it. and a little bit of salt. and we're gonna let this start to melt. you have to keep your eye on it so that it melts properly and you don't want your flame too high, or you'll scorch the pan and scorch the cheese sauce. so

tavis: there are some that -- notwithstanding the point you made a moment ago, there are some who do not believe that co-ops are -- my phrase here -- a good stand-in, a good replacement, an option for the public option as it's been discussed. but tell me that you believe that what's going to ultimately pass is going to have some means in it for everyday people to have an option through some means that allows for competition, fair competition, with the industry. >> well, i think we're committed to trying to get a bill through the congress that contains that increased competition in it and that also contains a structure that will -- to the extent the people are required to obtain insurance and people would be required to obtain insurance if they could afford to, it helps them afford it. it helps provide some government assistance to people who have incomes up to 300% of poverty and in some cases 400% of poverty to defray some of the cost of the insurance that people would obtain. >> since this bill, the baucus bill we're talking about now -- unless you know something i don't know, whic

some of the most popular toys for kids are becoming some of the biggest movie stars.tonight, what you could soon be seeing more of your big favorites on the screen -- why you could be seeing more of your big favorites on the screen. and a woman ended up with one big tschida. how he got so big -- one big trial. is the biggest baby ever to show up on planets earth -- one big child. this is my small-business specialist, tara. i know landscaping, but i didn't know how wireless could help my business. i just don't know how wireless can help my business. tara showed me how i could keep track of my employees in the field and get more jobs done faster. i was blown away. i'm blown away. only verizon wireless has small-business specialists in every store to help you do business better. we should get you a hat. now buy any blackberry, like the new tour, at our lowest prices ever, and get one free. shepard: hollywood directors apparently prefer to use torrez instead of actors these days, and they are drawing some serious crowds to the silver screen -- prefer to use toys. that "gi

we have learned some things for them probably. and they have learned some things for them.the bottom line is that he's healthy and feeling really good and we're going to move forward with it. >> it sounds like a plan. golf today, the first round for them and the championship. and that is the south african on the par four and the fifth. this is their approach shot. i would say that's a pretty good approach shot. they are birdieing there for them. tiger with an excellent day on number three birdie from about 10. one shot behind the leader for them. >>> and now, off the top of your head, do you know what the state university of new jersey is? most people, they don't. it's them and it is huge. that is 52,000 students, which makes it 40% bigger than maryland and that is a recruiting issue for them. they turned out to be one of maryland's main recruiting rivals as the two schools for essentially the first eastern sea born players. besides needing a win for them. they need to strike a blow from their recruiting future. any time you play a team in a close proximity, whether it is w

and some knowledge. and even more so, to get young people excited about engineering related areas. however, the overall theme in the process that the students go through to participate in some of these activities is to give them a greater understanding, something i would call an enduring understanding that they can take on with life and apply it to many other areas. we have lots of partnerships with industry and higher education, and we definitely like to include all other disciplines. that's not just mhematics and the site is, but that includes language arts and social studies and some of the other arts. and even though we've talked a lot about integrating other things, we really try to define a lot of our programs and iraq committees that we don't integrate mathematics and the sciences into it but we intertwine. we try to make it as seamless as possible where students don't think that we are trying to force a mathematics into a project just to make a mathematics. you can't have one without the other, a

, some from the white house, national security council maybe even some civilians at the pentagon-- arguing that the approach needs to be narrower. and you'll have the military saying, well, the approach that you articulated was this broader approach. and perhaps a fundamental dispute over just what was meant back in march. but i think you're starting to see from the comment that was in our story this morning, from some of the other things that are percolating out there, this sort of growing split between some of the civilian leaders and military leaders over just what was the strategy, what is the strategy, and what should be the strategy going forward. >> rose: and there's always this. i mean, the lessons we have learned, articulated by caspar weinberger and colin powell and others is that do you want to engage american men and women in a cause if the american public is not supporting it, a, and, b, you do not have any support from other countries, any kind of multilateralism. all of those seem to be now factored into the president's decision. >> indeed. and, you know, let's take those on

it is telling you to put some of it away.ou are getting some local bases pushes because ethanol plants and so forth are getting enough crop corn to come in right now. but essentially corn is saying store it. on the soy bean side it is a different situation. china already has 370 million of corn contract they did business with us. they wanted most of that between now and march because they can't get those beans out of south america. so you will see the trade trying to get you to sell the cash beans and when i say trying to, that means either the board is up or the basis has to be push because the pressure is trying to keep it from going to the gulf or the bmw. but with all of that export business it has got to move. so to me that's as you sell the beans maybe three or four months rights off the combine in some cases corn is probably a better long-term hold from a basis stand point. >> just are you saying that soy beans will go down in the future? i will ask bob that question again in a minute. >> if you can entice the south am

so, there is some value coming in to this, some value hunting, i should say.int getting slammed here today. also with a peak is chevron. credit suisse thinks that they can maintain production, even grow it. and lastly, sirius xm. they say you better split or be delisted. and there you go. 66 cents. that one is one to watch for that. >> thank you, matt. at the other end is google, which is going after yahoo!'s share of a display share ad market online. the launch of double click ad change. will google take a bite out of yahoo!'s business? joining us, steve, good to see you. there had to be a reason google bought double click after all. >> i think there are a lot of reasons. this is just one of the things they're going to be able to do with the technologies there. >> but eric says this is the great opportunity for them now. do you agree? >> i think the ad exchange is an interesting opportunity. there have been a lot of exchanges out there and they're definitely gaining momentum in the market. i think they're still relatively small. >> you sound skeptical this is

or there are some things that those clinicians can do, and that is to look at first of all, what some of these action sps are,nd engage in a conversation with the airport about what in your community might enable healthier eating and increase physical activity, or what are some of the barriers and how can i as clinician and you as patient outside of our normal doctor-patient relationship think about how we engage our local government officials to address some of those issues. by the time a child has been diagnosed, one could argue, we missed some opportunities to make a difference. and physicians ought to be engaged in the conversation that says, what is going on or not going on in the community and what actions can local government take to address this issue for those people that i provide car for. so i think there's some things that clinicians can do. i didn't answer the question. i'm going to let others try to answer it. i think that the clinical side of childhood obesity is for another committee and another report. does any 1 have anything to add? -- anyone have anything to add? a

some get angry, some laugh, some pretend it didn't happen.e past few weeks. look at him. >> that's pretty funny. that's kind of -- i think that contessa needs to get that guy on her show and interview him. because that would be a fun interview. >> just book it for her, and i'm sure she'll pass him on. >> tell her i said so. you see her up there in new york. i'll send her an e-mail. >> i'm here for your messages. go ahead. >> coming up, our face-off on the vast right wing conspiracy. >> yes, was bill clinton right when he said the new target is president obama no laughing matter. some people really speak their interests when they heard this. but first, know your enemy. a rare look inside the taliban has the pentagon and the warehouse consider a shift in strategy. some are wondering if al qaeda and the taliban are even on the same page anymore. this is "the big picture" on msnbc. when we spend a billion dollars a day buying foreign oil... we don't just waste our money... we put our economy in the hands of hostile nations. we let big oil make re

a little hazy out there too and some fog because we had some showers move in. >> i encountered some fog across the region. >> as did i. >> a couple spots of showers. today will be one of those days where some folks will see rain every now and then and some folks will see no rain. let's take a look at the weather conditions around the region. we start with the radar. we'll he show you just what the pop-up nature of these showers is. you see a little bit of shower activity centered around the chesapeake bay this morning so some portions of eastern maryland and portions along the coastline of the bay, places like that, with shower activity. northeastern maryland, not so much happening in washington. but there is fog here and there. you willent counter some of that on your drive -- you will encounter some of that on your drive in. the forecast for today, as tucker barnes put it, a mix of clouds and sun. it will be a cooler day with highs in the 70s. 75 in hagerstown. 77 in chantilly. 78 for your high in washington. we'll have more details on the forecast coming up in just a little bit. >> l

some are unique.ng about one of these roots i've never heard of. >> sort of a bitter taste but a wonderful texture. >> my dad used to eat it raw with salt. >> you guys opened, just a couple weeks ago, talking about the new hotel monaco. >> beautiful building. >> i fell in love with it. >> it's right smack in the middle of the city. each corner is east, west, northst south, near charles street and baltimore. that's the dead center of baltimore. >> a lot going on, a lot of people to see and be seen. >> a great date place. >> you have scallops, this is like the perfect breakfast. >> walk us through, what do you have there? >> we'll change with the season, featurings a grain salad, baby carrots and a muscle stew. >> pumpkin. >> we have a roasted plum cobbler. some rays barbecue, baby back ribs, a little late, summer, early fall with watermelon and peaches and our salad and peaches. >> i thought it was salmon. >> we have cheese, squash. >> everything is healthier when you're using fresh produce. >> always

there is some clouds -- there are some clouds around. we will go partly sunny. the numbers range from the upper 50's to 63 in springfield. fairly comfortable. your forecast, becoming partly sunny, warmer than yesterday. today, upper 70's. we will check in with adam caskey in 10 minutes. let's check in on the commute. >> the commute so far is so good. we're looking at things on the tell us greenway and the toll road. things moving smoothly. pretty good on the springfield trip as you head north on 95. just the growing volume as you head up from dale city. pretty good shape as you make your way around the beltway. there was some roadwo near river road, but that has been moved. as you go towards the capital beltway towards the icc work disown, no incidents to tell you about. nothing across the woodrow wilson or the american legion bridges. things are moving smoothly. 270 is a good ride. the inner and outer lips are moving in pretty good shape as you make your way over towards silver spring and across the american legion bridge and had to tysons corner. back to you.

would you travel for some kind of health care, some kind of surgery, some kind of treatment?g to a lot of people about this, i have to say and also having had two bypass surgeries myself, one in 1983 and one in 1999, that i would not hesitate to have had that procedure done, knowing what i know now, about those hospitals. that does not mean that i'd feel the same way about every hospital abroad, but the hospitals that i looked at, and i looked at everything from their blood banks to the water supply, and everything in between, i would do it. >> avery, great information. thank you so much for helping us out today. >> you're welcome. thank you. >>> where the jobs are. it's must have information right now. we're not just going to tell you about a those jobs, we're going to show you how to land one for yourself. it's one thing we all have in common. each is as important as the next. it doesn't matter whether it's big or small, colonial or ranch, because it's what's inside that matters most. for 103 years, our agents have helped people find the houses they'll call home. and now, m

so we had some reports of him being rude to some of the students and some of the workers there. and again, it all is part of the mix of his personality, the working conditions and his interaction with the people. if he had a romantic interest in her, this on top of all of the stress of his work world could have created this situation in which the crime could happen. but it was definitely per sip at a timed by some sort of confrontation that they had to have had that day. >> well, clearly, the question then becomes, were there warning signs? and if so, did we miss them and how did we miss them? more on the dark side of human behavior when we come back. ever worn your clothes in the shower? if you're using other moisturizing body washes, you might as well be. you see, their moisturizer sits on top of skin, almost as if you're wearing it. only new dove deep moisture has nutriummoisture, a breakthrough formula with natural moisturizers... that can nourish deep down. it's the most effective natural nourishment ever. new dove deep moisture with nutriummoisture. superior natural nouris

not just some students. we don't have an effective teacher today in every single classroom around the united states. that's imperative. we don't collect data to see how kids are doing as they progress through the school system. those are all failure that is we need to address. >> well, today there's want a measurement system that's really used to encourage improvement, and part of the idea of collecting the data using new telling nolg, having more charter schools where experiments can be run for some of those ideas to be -- that work can be transferred to all those kids. these things need to be done. >> melinda, is there another school system away from the united states that you could see the u.s. modelled like or something similar that perhaps we should be replicating? >> well, we are seeing great education systems across the world. some of them are in the nordic regions up in netherlands, swed. we're seeing good models in china. some in india. we're going to take a lot of those models and replicate them. i

chance only some rain late saturday and early sundays.cloudy saturday afternoon. >> thank you bob >>> we start with football, the patriots are receiving accolades for the year, through three games at least. a big part of what makes the patriots so good is tom brady. brady is a two time most valuable player coming off a knee injury, back to show he can still be great. >> how does your muscle memory work that you can throw that type of ball consistently. you have to at least frustrate tom brady, you can't sack him. but you have to at least do your best to get in his face. go off target, but if you don't do that, you don't stand a chance. >>> new england has the best home record in the nfl this decade. see it here on wjz, our coverage kicks off at 1:00. i'll have highlights and reaction with marty the bull dog and mary at the espn zone sports football talk. >>> it's the final week of the baseball -- baseball season that cannot do enough for the orioles. they are hoping to avoid the dirty dozen. one run already and willie ibar to center. tamp

there is also the possibility that down the road there could some be some kind of plea agreement.nt officials have been saying they believe zazi and whoever was working with him represented a genuine threat. that this was the real deal in terms of terrorism alert. the fact he has admitted to having ties to al qaeda would seem to substantiate that claim. >> the rain, it just keeps pouring here in the southeast. i don't know how many days we've seen of constant rain. >> karen, how many days? >> i think there have been five straight days where some precipitation has occurred. t.j. and betty, we were in a drought for five years. now they are seeing drought conditions all across minnesota. they are saying the soybean is turning yellow there because it is so very dry. take a look at the precipitation we're looking at over the next 48 hours or so. and the kind of bulls eye areas of northern alabama and into south central sections of tennessee where some areas have seen an excessive amount of wet weather over the last week or so. in nashville, that i have seen just about eight inches. the

there's some overlap so i think you'll hear some very, very similar scenes. a slightly different perspective. i wanted to focus a little more on the intersection between the politics and the substance. i think you can't extract them. you are having a debate about politics, ideology and substance and that is all conflated and will determine the outcome. start with similarities first. you have a young, idealistic democratic president who staked his political fortune on health care. you have a large democratic majority in house and senate. i went back and looked. i don't know how many of you remember, bill probably does, in the house of representatives, and we know that even though committees pass bills back in '93 and '94, that health reform didn't come to a vote on the house and senate. there was one more. the democrats had a larger majority in the house at the time than they do now by one. interesting. the senate's a little different. 60 is a big difference. in the house it is the same. a lot has been made and the president's right about committees moving for

he has some explaining to. -- to do.ress. >> this is the beginning of the legislative process that has all lot of republican help. charles grassley has a lot of components and the measure that he proposed, so there was some progress, but it is simply not done. he said he is optimistic there can be some amendments in the future, but when senator baucus, into talk about health care reform, there are not any changes yet, and as it stands, it remained bipartisan opposition. ben nelson is concerned about the cuts to medicare. this morning he said he would take steps to try to change this bill because as if it is, he does not want to support it. >> hundreds of thousands of seniors who did not conceive of medicare advantage, but who have come to rely on it, this senator is going to offer an amendment that would shield them from those benefit cuts for existing senior citizens on medicare. >> tuff stuff when a democrat says that you need to amend the proposal, even before it is released. jane: thank you. chasing down whoever is m
