mary, um, olmsted's brother john died of tiew berg low tuberculosis. olmsted actually had had a flirtation with mary before john, and mary married. olmsted concluded that mary sort of in modern parlance was friendship material only. john, however, fell in love with mary, and when john died of tuberculosis, literally, his death bed letter that has, lite, a p.s.. it says, p.s., don't let mary suffer while you're alive. literally in central park he and mary got married. olmsted adopted mary's three sons by his brother john including john charles, the elder who i described earlier, of the three sons, and then mary and he proceed to have a number of children between them including rick. my read on the relationship was it was a marriage born very much of obligation and also a marriage that, um, had a lot of tragedy. they had a lot of loss and a lot of, you know, they lost children and so forth. and there's also a fascinating letter that olmsted wrote in which he uses all this kind of romantic language, he talks about the stymied passion he felt while working on central park. he's referring to the fact that the board kept him f

mary. and mary is gay. and that's been well-known for a long time. but they clearly were trying the way they described it, one of their campaign managers, deputy managers described it and said mary fair game. and i thought that was totally inappropriate. biggest mistake they made, they made lynn, my wife, angry. and she really laid into them. -- we joke about it in the family after, because we got a bounce in the polls coming out of that debate on that issue. we always called it the mary cheney bounce around hour houselhold. >> sean: election night 2000 daughter liz wakes you up, congratulates you, you are vice president and al gore retracts. who retracts a concession speech. you called it amateur hour.do)% >> we were all trying to figure out what was happening. we were contacted by i think it was bill daley. and indicated that gore was going to concede. florida had been called for bush. then he called back to say that gore had changed his mind and is withdrawing his concession. may have called back himself. this business of conceding and withdrawing a concession i had never seen anything like that. >> sean: what were those days like, hanging, swinging, dimpled, chads and you k

coming up, britney spears is dead -- set against mary reing again. -- marying again.an't blame her. she had a rough time. what happened to the pastime that was in line skate 1234*g who cares as long as it provides an excuse for bill to get severely injured. >>> is the rink -- is the asphalt rink almost extinct? 52 million people roller bladed once in the year 2000. five million more than played basketball. by 2010 the number of in line skaters dive bombed by 64%. so what happened to the one-time fastest growing sport in the u.s.? well ponder a piece, quote, no scandal befell rollerblading and no celebrity lost a limb in in line skating. nudged by various forces it slowly went downhill. and that's where red eye comes in. yes, in the spirit of true investigative journalism, the kind you don't see anymore, anywhere, "red eye" hit the pavement to find out why the greatest sport ever invent edition appeared like kathy griffin's old nose. >> hi, here i am in central park. it is a lovely summer day. look around me. all you can see are bikes. nasty bikes. why have two wheels

mary ogradey and steve moore. mary annie, are we headed for another recession? >> i wish i knew. on the one side, you have a lot of talk about what glate shape corporate balance sheets are in. but the national fed federation of business. >> that is the small businesses. >> it declined for the fifth month in a row and 10 percent of the small business owners said that only 10 percent expected an increase in employment and 11 percent said they expected to have fewer workers over the next 3months. small business is such a key to the health of the economy that if the small business sector is so negative, it is not a good sign about the health of the recovery. >> steve comparison with 2008, are all over the place. are we better or worse off going into thoo recession? >> i don't think it is 2008 again. i believe what is happening with the u.s. economy is a repudiation of obama nomics. virtually everything that obama has done with the respect to the economy is negative in my opinion and led to more unemployment. this is a repudiation of the economic model, paul, where we have thrown trillions of spending at this and in addition to that, we have seen pedal to the metal money and it hasn't worked. >> it hasn't worked but why better than 2008? >> balance sheets are a better off. >> corporate? >> household balance sheets have improved some what, but the problem is government balance sheet looks rotten and sparked the market sell off and fear of recession was the debt deal. people said this is not good enough given the size of enormous debt. >> dan, how do you see it? >> there are similarities to 2008. in 2008 what happened sunday evening in september lehman brothers goes down and suddenly we are in a financial crisis. that was the bursting of the housing bubble . prices had gone up to unsupportable levels. we editorialized about it for two years. what we are seeing now, is the bursting of the federal spending bubble. we needed s&p flip the switch and everyone realizes that what we are doing 25 years is no longer supportable. the question is, is the political market place going to put in the right policies to react to them as they did not do to the housing bubble. >> housing prices fell 25 to 30 percent. >> with the government doing all it can to thwart the housing. >> and i agree with that. how much further can they fall there? >> there is a similarity. markets are nervous about what is going on in europe and in particular, what the nervousness are about. u.s. money markets are holding a lot of exposure to the european banks that have exposure to european sovereign vet. >> money market investment funds. >> and we are learning here, every time the fed interest rates too low for too long. money markets start to go to the other places where there is more risk where there is more yield. if they couldn't get return in the u.s., they have gone to europe and they have bought french banks that have big exposure to italy and spain and a lot of nervousness about what may happen. >> there is something else going on in europe that is very much glossed over in the united states. europe also has had 40 years obese welfare states incredibly generous entitlement programs and the weight of that system is kind of collapsing on collective europe and that should be a warning signal in my opinion for the united states. >> but the fact of the matter, the concern is the exposure that u.s. money market funds might have to that collapse. >> the federal reserve would extend near zero interest policy for two years and to the middle of 2013 to reassure interest rates are not going up any time soon, is that the answer? >> that is not the answer. that so smacks was desperation. what else are we supposed to do. obviously the congress and the president have run out of ideas. the president run out of ideas. to steve's point, the white house for two and half years is running out of the context that you can inject a lot of money to a recessionary economy and stimulate demand. >>> and you substitute government spending for private spending. that hasn't worked and as to whether we are in a recession, it is symantic and we are in a double dip obviously . you can't come out of it growing less than two percent and so what is plan be? >> that is inflation 40 or 50 percent. a economist recommends that. is that something that, is that the answer? that will degrade the amount of debt. >> remind me paul of the time we are saying we will have four percent inflation and that will stop right there. >> no more. and exactly. that is really where the risk is . once people think that that is what they are going to do, you get inflationary expectations that tend to send inflation higher . people misallocate capitol. >> and gold goes to 2000 dollars. >> it is good if you are a gold investor . okay, it is the bad news bears here and we'll watch this . the leadership vacume. president obama's response to the economic turmoil and why liberals are beginning to the sour on the candidate that promised hope and change. premiering the revolution by lg. the newest release with verizon 4g lte. the first phone pre-loaded with access to netflix's massive movie library. powered by verizon 4g lte for an unparalleled streaming experience. see how mobile entertainment was meant to be seen. only with verizon 4g lte. now get the revolution by lg for $199.99 and receive 3 months of netflix free. over time, my lashes thinned. after 40, i didn't have enough lashes. i'd heard of latisse® but had questions. my doctor said... latisse® is the only fda approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough lashes. now with latisse® my lashes are longer, darker, with more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. if you are using or have used, prescription products for eye pressure problems, use latisse® under close doctor care. latisse® use may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. eyelid skin darkening may occur which may be reversible. if you experience eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor. common side effects include itchy eyes and eye redness. i trust latisse® and i use it too. my lashes changed as i got older. now i use latisse®. more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. are your lashes thinning as you get older? why wait? ask your doctor about latisse® from allergan, a company with 60 years of eye care expertise. markets will rise and fall but this is the united states of america. no matter what some agency may say, we always have been and will be a triple a country. >> that president obama on monday responding for the first time to last friday's s&p downgrade, the dow jones industrial average that had fallen 410 fell another 20 while the president was speaking and down 634 points, the worst one day drop since december 2008 . the president's response drew criticism not the least of the liberal elite. >> inability to grab a microphone and assuage america's fears. he doesn't like the bully pulpit just the professors lectern. now, dorothy, we have known the president was more professor than populas thumper. that was posed to be an asset and why is it suddenly a problem. >> it is called repressed rage. >> on the part of whom? >> on the left media. it came and you know, something about suppressed resentment makes it much more powerful. you had not just maureen dod. but westin who said and i quote. we are hostage to a president to o is not just a republican extremist, but a president who will do anything to get elected. >> what is the roots and what are they angry about? >> it is hard to say reality is hitting them hard in the fast. he is not what they thought . they thought wonderful things about him. he is a man who we forget the fact that hoe had an undistingished record. he published nothing and voted 200 some types. >> this is not news is crit semp that republicans offered in 2008. what i want to know why is the left suddenly turning on him now? he's done what they wanted. hoe gave them the stimulus. they wanted national health care and he gave it to them. it is a victory for the state expansion. dod frank. he gave them what they want? what is the problem now? >> confrontation with reality. there are things you can't avoid even if you are a complete partisan and he looks objectively speaking terrible. his public performances is terrible and you have one or two signals in the respectable left media and opened up the resentment of everything. >> i think something else is going on, there is a kind of political efant limp. >> really? >> both sides rather engage in political street fight have it out and win . in this case, the left wants obama to go out there. moveon.orgdid a contract with the american dream. they have 10 bullitin point with massive spending and new tax. >> the criticism of obama that he is too detached and not fighting hard enough. >> he's not attacking the right and rich and corporations hard enough to make them feel good. same way we went through the fight with the debt and right wanted to push the government in default. go into default we'll win. >> there is one other thing that you are not touching on that is important that developed and paul, that is the issue of whether the president is up for the job and whether he can handle the big economy problems. he was a community organizer and doesn't have business or private experience. that is a big, big defect for him . it is interesting if you look at press conferences. for the first two years they gave him worshipful treatment and now they are questioning him. don't you take responsibility for the kinds of things that are happening? he blame its on japan and high oil prices and tsunami. the press is turning on him as well? >> is it happening because the results have not - >> yes, of course. >> economy is not growing at three percent wouldn't everybody be happy. >> yes, but give them credit on the left which we never do. i wouldn't. but in this case, they see that this cannot be defended and when the election comes and there is the step that will happen on the part of the left media to go back anybody but a republican president they will have to remember that the internet never lies and all of these pronouncements against obama will be there in lifing color. >> they will vanish in thin air. >> they will not. >> they will come back and support him because they fear republicans more than they are disappointed with obama. >> absolutely. >> what about the president's proposal. he has path reform and extend jobless benefits for a greater period of time. extending the pay roll tax cut for another year . infrastructure bank. will they generate growth now? >> they will not generate growth but the american people don't believe they are going to work. most people is too much government spend too much debt. the president keeps loading on with plant b being the failed planae. he doesn't have new ammunition to shoot in the recession. the biggest problems he faces is with independent voters who voted for hope and change and they are seeing it is not working out so well >> he understands he has to attract the independent voterss and which is the reason he can't throw red meat. >> and go in for the big government job's problem and government hiring millions of americans. that's what the left really wants is a trillion dollar stimulus. >> that is why hoe can't do it. they believe if he do does that he will win . he will lose and his people know that. >> when we come back, a bad night for big labor after powering million in wisconsin's big election. unions came up short. what it means for the other states attempting reform. : do ps to do dumb things? man 1: send, that is the weekend. app grapgic: yeah dawg! man 2: allow me to crack...the bubbly! man 1: don't mind if i doozy. man 3: is a gentleman with a brostache invited over to this party? man 1: only if he's ready to rock! ♪ sfx: guitar and trumpet jam vo: geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands ojobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for oucountry's energy security and our economy. >> they promised political revenge and this week big labor came up short in an effort to recall gop laww maker in wisconsin. four republicans denied democrats of control of the senate. column leavey has been following this and joins us with more. colin both sides are claims victory. republicans democrats said they picked up two seats. >> i don't think there is any question the republicans took the day. unions really. this was the big coup of revenge and they picked up two seats and might lose another seat of a democrat in recall elections next week and in the end, they are going to have spent 30 million and not going to have control of the legislature and they ended up with pie in their face. think about the way they treated this. this was their big battle. they had tv cameras everywhere and the protest. this was unon's big moment to reclaim. >> governor walker was concil tory and said we need to work together democrats and republicans. do you feel they are chastened and maybe democrats achieved their goal and republicans will be less aggressive with the agenda? >> it was good that walker was and the appropriate way to be. quite frankly, there is going to be an effort to recall walker at some point and so he's going to want to keep the political tensions low. but there is no question that the wind was taken out of their sails . this is a bounce for walker and look at the way people responded to this. it is a boost for his economic policy. he passed comprehensive tort reform and passed a budget without raising taxes. >> what is the political lesson for other states. >> you can try it and survive. >> you can if you have the right policies. one of the things that resulted from the reform for instance is local school districts in wisconsin have been able to redo their contracts and put their finances back on even footing and avoiding lay offs. the states are analogous of what is going on with the sovereign debt crises. wisconsin, new jersey, california, they had spending that was outrunning their financing and that was the point of scott walker's reform and now it is working. >> what will happen in states like ohio. we have something on the ballot in november that repeals what john casack is trying to do. is this going to give unions a pause about whether to invest in the cause. >> it is a huge victory for fiscal responsibility. it was not just about wisconsin, but about ohio andical and other states trying to take on the excessive unibenefit for public employees. it sends a resounding message that voters do want change and understand that when a public employee that are getting benefits twice as generous that that simply is not fair. the implications is positive. by the way, too. if other states hear about it. it is worth noting when the whole battle was going on 24-7 coverage . now editorials and no one - on they got it. >> one other pick paul, paul. that eliminated the deductions for union dues. other states are doing the same thing that. is cutting off the political oxygen for the unions and democratic party. >> what about the larger lesson for 2002, is that mean wisconsin is safe for barack obama or republicans could pick up. they haven't won in a presidential election. >> especially the republicans and independence are understanding that you have to bring the government spending under control. that's what happened in wisconsin. it is a positive thing. >> steve, thanks. one more break and when we come back, hits and misses of the week.

mary giovagnoli. in practic practiced, mary. and professor bill hing. and nellie reyes, an immigrant community advocate. we begin tonight dialogue by hearing from each of our panelists. following that, we will hear invited testimony from several individuals directly impacted. the panel will be discussing a number of issues around comprehensive immigration reform. >> good evening. i just want to thank you all. i want to say that think we all sound more like experts when we quote his research three-time representing the office of congresswoman zoe lofgren. i was told to talk a little bit about our personal connection to immigration. i think that's easy for me. i'm the only person in my family born in the united states. my family is from mexico did my grandfather was recruited to work here in the united states during world war ii. my father emigrated here. i sister and my mother emigrated in 1967. we have very different experiences for all three of those members of my family. in my entire professional life, i was looking back. i've always been around immigration law. i am proud that it has been so. someone asked me if i ever regretted been so focused on that. i said i did not do it on purpose. somebody just told me once to do what you love and everything will work out. i'm pleased to say that it has. we were told to give our perspective a little bit. it's hard not to speak personally about comprehensive immigration reform and what it means. i had the privilege to work on some of the most meaningful cases to me. i know it's the one place in san francisco i always know how to get to. to give you a brief legislative update, one of the things that i said before ever working for a congressperson, if they knew how immigration law worked, they would have never signed the 1996 bill. on my watch, it's very important to let us know how it all translates into real life. it's a pleasure to be here to listen to the testimonies. in immigration law, someone asked me to give what is new and exciting. i just have cold and depressing right now. we are working on it. needless to say, now is the time for consensus building in both the house and senate. on june 25, president obama met with members of the house and senate. i congresswoman wrote this down, who is the granddaughter of the immigrant herself. her grandfather emigrated with plans of becoming a cowboy to the united states. it did not quite work out that way. president obama said the time for a comprehensive immigration reform is here. he said this on june 25 with hopes we would have a compehensive immigration reform introduced by the end of this year or the beginning of next. i'm sure none of us thought that health care reform with kuwaitae quite so long. our time has been pushed back a little bit. the immigration subcommittee has been working 12 hour per day. all the pieces are together. we have been working on how to build consensus around those pieces and how to best put together the most viable will. the senate and house have come froconferred. the senate will go first. it's imperative that the senate be able to move forward and get those 60 votes in order for us to know that at the end of the effort, there will be a bill going to the president. we are waiting on san francisccr schumer. he is a smart person. they are trying to gain consensus around issues. once the senate moves forward, the house is ready to move forward as well. we do not have one built. what we have is every conceivable idea that has ever been given to us fleshed out and turned over and written and rewritten. the congresswoman has been working with several bipartisan colleagues did we consider it imperative to have bipartisan support on immigration reform. it dela elays people's fears abt being voted out of office. i cannot talk about how important this issue is to our country now, our economy, and the future character of this nation. with all seriousness we approach this. i have to say that humor helps in dealing with some of the stresses and disappointments. it is with all seriousness and absolute dedication to this country that we try to move forward on this. not only the experts here today, but people who are willing to share their stories. >> thank you. we'll hear from mary next. >> mr. chair and commissioners, thank yofistsyou. the important and exciting for the commission to be taking on this issue and to be thinking hothrough how to play a role. it cannot be done unless everyone across the country is part of the moving forward. i often say that i think the public has already decided that compehensive immigration reform is necessary, but it's only a matter of time until congress catches up. after explaining my own connection, i want to give you a snapshot of what's been happening in the last few years to put some of this discussion into context. my own connections with a name like giovagnoli are third generation battalion. i'm not even sure what generation on my mother's side in terms of scotch irish dutch immigrants from virginia to missouri. i never really thought about immigration much growing up. my grandfather was italian. i was aware he had a different life from me. and very grateful for the opportunities that he give us. my father was the younge

mary and i are friends, but let me respond to her because i think she was responding to me. [laughter] , to believe, mary, that things will be resolved in conference -- i want to believe, mary that things will be resolved in conference. maybe because i am older than mary, i remember what happened with the 1990 and 1996 legislation where bad stuff remained in the bill. but i will defer to marry in terms of -- yes, if there is bad language, you try to influence the conference. let me go to a different point. first of all, the dream act and uafa, we have to fight hard for that. one thing that we'v need to do s pressure the administration. they have the responsibility, too, and it is being quarterbacked by people in homeland security. we should be talking to them about this. in terms of family immigration, it is funny. i alluded earlier to 2007 and the awful point system that was proposed. the funny thing is, if you went back one more year to 2006, the mccain-kennedy bill, there were great provisions in terms of family immigration, clearing the backlogs and extra numbers. so it is a shame that senator kennedy has passed away and it is a shame that so has senator mccain.

mary before john and mary married. and olmstead concluded that the a-list friendship material only. john thoma with mary. hen john died of tuberculosis, his deathbed letter has literally fps. this is ps, delivery suffer while your life. lo and behold a few years later in central park but he was constructing, he and mary got me. olmstead dot did bury his three sons by his brother, john come including john charles who i described earlier and then he proceeded to have a number of children between them, including rick. in my read on the relationship was with a marriage. that point of obligation and also a myriad that had a lot of tragedy. they had a lot of flaws. the last children and so forth. and so, a fascinating letter that olmstead wrote, in which he talks about all this romantic language and talks about this tiny passion he felt while working on central part. he is referring to the fact that it kept him from being able to realize the part planned for solely as he it would be at the language he uses is so stymied romance. he married mary while working on central park that seem to be a clue to something a

mary, and both of them dedicated their lives to restoration of the everglades. george and mary established the everglades trust and the everglades foundation, and then when george died in a very tragic death back in 1995, thom joined with mary to make sure that george barley's dream of a restored everglades became a reality. thom was an active member of the republican party, but i can tell you that the friendship between us, partisan membership didn't mean anything. we had a personal friendship, and you could often see that as he engaged in public service, but that was especially so when it came to the preservation and the restoration of the everglades. and his success extends other than this community and country service to a career in private practice, one of the founding partners of rumberger, kirk and calwell, and under thom's leadership, the firm's modest beginnings were quickly surpassed as it moved to all kinds of new legal successes. and today, that firm includes 75 trial attorneys in five offices all across several southern states. and, of course, he has been listed as one of florida's super lawyers every year for the last several years. you know, the legend has it that thom rumberger once convinced a federal judge

mary snowe in new york, at one of those evacuation shelters. what's going on over there, mary? >> reporter: rain coming down a little bit harder, wolf. and we are in lore manhattan, in the evacuation zone. i don't know if you can see it, but in this park which is virtually empty except for a police car coming through. it's been going around this area with a loud speaker telling people that they should evacuate. warning them about hurricane irene. just want to show you the water now in the hudson river. it's going to be high tide in just about half an hour or so from now. and those rising waters, again tomorrow morning, is what is the big concern because it will be high tide at 8:00 a.m. the real brunts of hurricane irene, though, the impact of it is expected to be felt tomorrow morning. the winds are expected to pick up tonight. virtually the city has been so eerily quiet with the mass transit shutting down earlier today. subway and bus system that carries millions of people, this has been an unprecedented shutdown. also people just really preparing for the storm. and stores seeing lines with people waiting in line to buy supplies. here in lower manhattan, people were told to evacuate by 5:00 p.m. there are some that took the mayor's words very seriously, including this couple who left earlier today. >> when the mayor announced that we had to evacuate, we kind of knew that we were already going to evacuate. so we were prepared. and then we went to whole foods, got a bunch of food. and we just got a hotel. it's just a day and a half. i don't think it's going to be this bad. >> reporter: one other thing, wolf, is an area of concern are the high winds. they are expected to pick up later. if those winds reach 60 miles per hour, bridges out of the city will also be shut down. and also, you know, power is a question and a concern. there is the possibility that new yorkers have already been warned that power may be shut down at some point because of this storm. and as a precaution here in lower manhattan, buildings have stopped running their elevators. there was concern if power went out that people would not be able to get out if they were stuck in an elevator. now there are buildings that are not in the evacuation zone that are being told that they, too, will see this happen later on as this storm approaches new york city. that buildings are not going to be running elevators for the fear that somebody might get stuck in them. >> mary york joining us, thank you, mary. let's stay in new york. joining us is the commissioner for new york city's office of emergency management, joseph bruno. mr. bruno, thank you very much for coming in. are you ready in new york for irene? >> well, we're

mary howard is here. thank you. good afternoon, supervisors. and mary howard from the department of human resource. you have a prose pod ordinance to amend the administrative code to provide for a paid administrative leave to allow the city to remove the employees from the work place in certain circumstances. right now no such creature exists in our legislation, so this would give the city and the department flex tobflexibility remove employees when there are concerns and drug and alcohol testing and brimming the gap between when the employee puts the employer out for a duty exam and the completion of the exam. supervisor kim: okay. thank you very much. are there any questions? at this time we will open up for public comment. seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. all right. so we will -- we have a motion to move this item forward to the full board with recommendation and we can do that without opposition. at this time i am going to call a two-minute break because we only have two members out of three and if one of us leaves we lose quorum and there is a need for a bathroom break.

so he was waiting for a boat and somebody to come by and take him out. >> mary snow in patterson, new jersey. mary very much. >>> in just a few minutes, i'll speak live with emergency responders in vermont, and we'll revisit the finances of fema as you know, it has been a disastrous year. let's check other developing stories. as much of the east coast strug tols recover from irene, a new tropical storm is on the verge of becoming a hurricane. katiy is west, southwest of the cape verde islands moving west, northwest. the national hurricane center says it could become a hurricane tomorrow or thursday. >>> federal officials say a faulty well caused a deadly natural gas pipeline explosion last year in california. the national transportation safety board issued a report today lashing out at the pipeline owner, pacific gas and electric for making mistakes which triggered the blast and destroyed homes in san bruno. the pipe was inadequate from the time it was installed back in 1956. it also says pacific gas and lek missed a lot of opportunities to detect the problem before the explosion. the utility says

with that, i would like to introduce and mary rodgers from planning to brief us on this -- and mary e. rogers from planning to brief us on this and -- >> i did go over the recommendations in full last week and i'm happy to review them again this week. to summarize, they supported nearly all of the recommended modifications and the content of the ordinance, but for the prohibition on formula retail, that was the only area where they read -- or the difference -- where they differed. this supports the restaurant controls and is more easy on restaurants. it should take less process to get a restaurant when this passes. as well as the other changes which were more minor, but a few of the questions, happy to review the recommendations in full. supervisor mar: i also want to acknowledge that the small business commission is here as well. did you want to address the committee? >> good afternoon. i does want to reaffirm the commission's position on this and that the commission also tends to defer to district supervisors direction on specific zoning controls such as this. we do think that there

. >> our mary snow is in manhattan. so maryive ye ivf are relying on mass transit. so what are people to do? >> reporter: this is plenty of cabs, they have been waiting afternoon and they have been waiting at evacuation zones to take people away. but it is so quiet and manhattan is such a different way. take a look at the harbor here, we're in lower manhattan, ordinarily the new york harbor here would be filled with boats on a saturday afternoon and you can see how quiet it is and that is just the scene wherever you go in this city with the city's subways as you just mentioned and busses shutting down at noontime, penn state which sees crowds of people every day, just very quiet. and, you know, there are some people who are not obeying that mandatory evacuation order, saying they are going to stay put here in lower manhattan, they say they have been through storms, they're going to sit tight. others are taking the mayor's advice, including this couple we spoke with earlier. >> when the mayor announced that we had to evacuate, w

mary richards? >> thank you. good evening, commissioners, district staff. my name is mary richards. i am an executive director. i will be working at age arhr. before i read the amendment language before you, i am also going to tell you about the content of the packet. the received all strong are mostly strong, and at the back end there is a fact sheet, and there is a description of special education services, which was a discussion point with the other schools, but that is just a clarification, so without further ado, i will read the amendment language of the resolution. >> thank you. >> of course the title. gooauthorization to grant the renewable petition for the charter school, whereas the district superintendent and district staff has completed the review end recommendation regarding the review of the renewal petition on june 28, 2011. therefore, it is subject to the requirements set by law. >> i do not have any public speakers set up for this, and comments from the superintendent thomas -- from the superintendent? roll-call please. i am sorry. did you want to say something? >> i apologize we did not pick t

so what's going on here for more of this i'm joined by marie time and reporter blogger at think progress well welcome mary thanks for having me so is the republican reaction to the hostility of these town halls is it almost like it mission of guilt in a way i mean they have been accusing democrats of of not really being being activists in this and that but is this really proves that they've been astroturfing well it's certainly certainly shirking their very basic responsibility to make themselves accessible to their constituents and this august recess we've seen republican congressmen resort to all sorts of tactics to avoid free and candid discussions with their constituents because they've been so embarrassed in the past at these town hall meetings so several republicans like budget committee chairman paul ryan have refused to hold any free and open town hall meetings others have only held them at very remote locations most of their constituents can't get to and you know at the expense of the of the spectrum we're seeing you know political retribution for town hall audience members who have spoken up and

mary snow is standing by. mary, where are you right now? >> we are on riverside drive around 92nd street. we've been driving around looking for damage, very empty. the only cars out there are police cars. we've seen some flooding, not major flooding. one thing we did find here, this downed tree along riverside drive right on top of a car here. it doesn't look like the car was too badly damaged. we haven't seen many downed trees but you were talking about the winds. we really haven't felt any strong winds. we've been on the west side of manhattan so far. we did find flooding at one point on the west side drive. a pocket was close. not terrible flooding so far. >> i'm kind of surprised, i have to say. for all the talk of what the potential could be, obviously you could never really predict this, it seems from what jacqui is saying this may be the worst of the rain. that's good news for a lost folks in new york city. >> yes, i'm very surprised, too. we were out last night down at battery park. really did not feel any strong winds. because we were told that we were going to start feel something strong winds around 9:00 and we did not. the rain has been steady. as you were talking about just a few minutes ago, it is coming down straight. it's not coming down on a slant. it's not the rain you might expect in a hurricane. it is pretty surprising. >> mary. we'll continue our coverage. we'll be right back after a short break. >>> very different scene in asbury park right now. >> i want you to take one more look at the ocean. these waves are scary. our photographer, there's somebody behind him holding him back. jimmy, pan over to the ocean. you see those menacing waves? in about five minutes, a few minutes, that water will be on the board walk. and the mess out here is going to be probably a lot of work to clean up. a lot of plywood on businesses in town, businesses have boarded up. i mean businesses like convenience stores that you would imagine being open 24 hours. they have plywood on their doors. nothing's open. no one's walking around here. people are heeding the warnings. as you get closer to the ocean is where the winds pick up. i'm gauging, 50 mile-an-hour winds right now and this is probably just going to continue to get worse. you do see some sand but i mean, that's normally sand there. and now it's just water. and then that sa

mary lincoln. they were sisters but mary lincoln didn't buy any more gloves because she had no more money. so she fired our sister, the former slave who then wrote an autobiography and told stories no one wanted her to tell. she was clear about the fact she needed to make a living. sisters need to be clear about these issues. multiple income stream. how do you make a living? how do you put yourself out there? what do you do? surviving and thriving is about that. i want to say a little bit about this book from the perspective that nobody wanted to publish it. nobody wanted -- i had a lovely lunch with a young sister. send me a lobster salad and a glass of white wine and told me nobody wanted to hear about black people in congress. it was a lovely conversation. >> reminds me of a story talking with a television executive about the life story of lena horne and what was said was it is not interesting enough. there wasn't enough -- not enough -- [talking over each other] >> long story short, i give him credit. do your thing. so we published a book. i called the book a note to my people. i want people of african descent to understand how important it is for us to revel in history. [talking over each other] >> it is crafted as the of 365 facts and mixed up the current with the historic so it is really great and things people don't know about. i recommend it. i want to go back -- i am the one presenting this note here. because i think it is important for us to use your book and my book as encouragement to get through it. apparently between 2004, and 2009, media network of black households fell by 83% when there was a 24% drop in white households and it was 2018 or seven years for us to get back to the jobs we had in 2007 and what you talk about is an effort to recovers that doesn't include jobs. the centrality of work in our economy is being lost. i found that piece of yours -- >> go to juliannemalveaux.com. we could have a recovery but no jobs for people to go into. >> it is one of the most perplexing aspects of the current economic situation. there are economists who say we are in recovery and no longer in recession and i always say go to the hood. stand on the corner. martin luther king and malcolm x, a lot of places you can stand. if economic recovery has come it has not come there. we have seen gdp growth in the past two years pick up. much of it is a function of the investment the federal government has made in banks and in other places. we have not seen people going back to work. last month only 18,000 jobs were created. the unemployment rate went from 9.1% to 9.2%. for african-americans the unemployment rate is 15%. if you look a real rate it is 28%. these are trying times. what do we do about that? i believe we have abrogated our responsibility as citizens. we should all be angry, focused about what has to happen. i also believe we can create wealth on our own. so many others did. we can talk about a entrepreneurship in a different way. the oasis where we educate and celebrate women and develop 20 first century leaders and global thinkers -- [talking over each other] >> we require students to take a class in entrepreneurship because you will be an entrepreneur at some point in your life. with your a science or art majors some time you will have to figure out how to make it on your own. that is critically important. i think we need to begin to talk about ways that we replicate, produce, engender the wealth creation process. we also must talk more about how we engage politically and what we do. i am frustrated with our people around conversations with our president. this congress is a city hall. all these other places. what are you doing about that? how do you operate? how are you engaged? what do you do? we have a lot of work to do. >> i remember distinctly when i used to see you on cnn and your voice is an extremely important one as a pundit. what do you think about al sharpton getting 6:00 on ms nbc? >> it is exciting. we don't have african-americans in prime time. if he is able to bring some knowledge to the game, let's do that. [applause] >> i am waiting for a sister. but i am excited this has happened. i really am. >> what do you think it is that has made black women's show in visible? i helped create the women's media center where we work to get women's voices and stories told. it is an uphill battle. 90% of everything is still passed by men and women still only hold 3% of the positions in media in this day and age. >> i have two perspective as. one is the bias and patriarchy but we also need to be more vocal about what we want. i don't know how many sisters are here in the house. how many visited someone who said i want to see some black women on the air? we could own this. we have some ownership we could do as well. i am excited about the many ways we are beginning to unpack things. michele obama is a phenomenal leader and role model. she is great and wonderful. we have to stand up. these people who have denigrated my favorite beverage make all this noise and every time she goes out for a hamburger they will take that somewhere and make it into something which is nonsense. when the left talk about the bush barrels -- girls there be no. we need to set the same standard. you can talk about president obama that he is a big boy, even talk about michele but leave the daughters out of it. they are little girls. come on. we don't do the work we could do to stand up and put a line in the sand for our people. can we put a line in the sand for our people? that is all i am asking for. you know and i know when we make the phone calls we do the work. one phone call people think of as 1,000 people but who calls? you say that was just messed up. i was so mad that was messed up. don't be mad. get even. danny glover had a verizon commercial. they got mad at his politics and he lost it. why has rush limbaugh and never lost anything. i am exposing myself. have my back, please. come on. they talk about us as though we are in human. no one stands up for us. what is wrong with us? that is a story of surviving and thriving. we only win the game when we play the game. we have got to play the game. >> i have a moment of shock when the girls went to africa with their mother. it was the first time i realized there are black girl living in the white house. isn't that amazing? i started reading alice's book the end of danger. talking about the fact the next generation of african-americans are not as bad as my generation was. do you believe that? granted he is interviewing the harvard mbas who have a different perspective on the world and have a slightly different in come but do you believe we have perhaps mostly because of barack obama entered an optimistic face? we are not angry or should we be angry? are we hopeful? the figures say african-americans are more hopeful despite the employment figures than anybody else in the country. i want to know who they're talking about. >> to the southeast learning center to have any kind of survey of the homes in the hood. phyllis --ellis is a brilliant writer and really good and is raising interesting questions. let's look at the numbers. 3% of us don't have jobs. one in three. you don't have a job. you don't have a dog. you don't have a job. has anybody called you? jobless people to ask how you are feeling about this? [talking over each other] >> the harvard mbas i am related to some. let's be clear. we have challenges. i used to live this life that was very fascinating. i took a piece of data and i could write a book about it. now for peace of data comes through my office and says i lost my job. how do i pay my tuition? that is my new life as a college president. i revel in it but i am very challenge by the fact that we in black america don't always see ourselves. some of us do phenomenally well. our applaud them, the recreation committee and lots of other organizations but i also know about the people who have more months than money. they cannot eat. these theoretical discussions are not discussions that make a difference in their lives. it strikes me when i look at the numbers, sometimes almost makes me want to cry to think about the number of people who want to work but can't find work. think about the people being foreclosed on when billions of dollars of banks won't lend. i am not sure how to begin to have a conversation about the hidden danger. an end of a anger is the beginning i hope of -- i hope those people who understand they essentially pay their taxes for other people to get bonuses are mad enough to do something about it. [applause] >> we don't hear those voices. unless we are reminded of the unemployed we don't see them. we don't know that they are there. what is the solution for that? we are talking about the debt ceiling and other issues. we are not talking about the people you are talking about. that has to happen. >> you and i are both media people. we spend time telling stories and we know the stories that want to be told and that don't want to be told and we need to be clear our story needs to be told. one reason i am excited about our sharpton getting a show on msn b.c. is i know al sharpton has a feeling for the people. i am hoping he will raise up the issues, talk to some of the people who have issues or problems and deserve to be heard. we all need to be clear about the way we deserve to be heard and we will create our own strategies. again, probably not the place to be as vulnerable -- this hurts me. it hurts me to see people of african descent at the periphery of our economy understanding the many ways we have been central. understanding in so many ways to work that we have to do and understanding no one is going to do it for us. there are a series of demographics that are frightening. we are not the biggest minority any more and we are now the fastest-growing. the latino population -- we are not mad at them but they are where they are and who they are and how they are and we need to figure out how to work with them. we also need to figure out how to get our fair share of this economy that we have created a foundation for. that is what part of the challenge is. i look at the next five years for the next 25 years of our nation. i understand last year we created 75,000 engineers in the united states of america. china is 600,000. they are investing in higher education. we are divesting from higher education. help me with that. help me with that. is that ok with those? president obama says he wants to be the lost leaders in terms of education but china is investing more money. this is the money that goes to our poor young people. we have challenges that we refuse to deal with. our people are dying and nobody really cares. the answers you would find in the economic history of blacks in america, what would you point to? >> i love that question. when we look at our people we look at ursula burns at xerox and sarah washington who was lifted up at the new york world's fair in 1945. distinguished businesswoman. dorr the bronze and who has opportunities in radio. carolyn mingo jones, mary ann's dragons --spraggins we had a sister once, ilan appears on the securities and exchange commission. gloria stewart was the sister, first black woman to make a living as a speaker. par la harris, phenomenal young woman who was a financial genius and has a fabulous voice. the first black woman who passed the new york stock exchange -- here is the point. we can do it. the book was written as a love note to my people because i love us. i think we are so phenomenal. just about being a person of african descent. i worry. if the lord made me something else it wouldn't have turned out right. i think we can do whatever we do. i look at my friends here, reggie and patrick and so many others who step out on a limb because they love us. if you love us you will help us be who we need to be. >> there are people in the audience who would like to ask questions. we have a microphone set up on my left side, your right side of the auditorium. if you would like to step up please join us in this conve

mary snow is in queens, new york. mary, yikes. i see a huge tree over your left shoulder. looks like on top of a car. >> reporter: yeah. you guys were just talking about the saturated ground. what we see is this tree just ripped from its roots, breaking through the concrete sidewalk. fortunately, no one was injured. this tree came down in the middle of the night about 2:00 in the morning. here's the dane rouse par, though. you're seeing all these power lines down. and there are several of them. and then if we could just pan up a little bit further you'll see is that power line, there's a transformer on top of that, and that is leaning. this is the dangerous part. there is a police line up here, so cars can note come through. there are several lines that are down and people are walking on the street. dangerous situation. obviously, the police have been here because they've put up that tape. as you can imagine, residents we've been talking to are pretty nervous about this situation here. as we made our way through queens, we're trying to check out reports of damage. we've seen some downed trees. you know, we're talking to soledad a few minutes ago. we hadn't seen widespread damage that had been anticipated. but you do see spots like this one where people are really shaken here. >> we've got to ask about the car behind you, mary. was anyone in it when the tree fell? >> reporter: no. no. fortunately, they were not in it. and the people who are in this house fortunately were not -- no one was injured, shaken, they say, and they're nervous about this power line with this transformer because it is leaning and these downed power lines. but fortunately, no one was hurt. >> thank goodness. mary snow, thank you very much in queens. >> it really is a significant worry because with these trees coming down we know that irene has already claimed some ten lives in five states. >> yes. some of which involved downed trees. >> a big concern in the washington, d.c., area, of course, was -- >> the national cathedral. >> that's right. earlier in the week last week there was a 5.9 earthquake. that caused a little bit of damage. >> a little bit. >> to the national cathedral as well as the national monument. to washington to find out what this recent weather from irene may have done to further compromise these buildings, these his

mary ann testify today that in the trial. mary ann was a very important element in the trial. she's a woman of great dignity, um, and reserve, and she sat there every day looking fragment and be worried half to death sitting right behind dan on the other side of that security glass that created such a distorting effect. and then, of course, she testified for her husband. >> so what did the folded-up book jacket mean? >> oh. well, i think dan white saw the situation in san francisco as being to pressive, that the old, established irish and italian but primarily irish families who had run this city for a long time were being oppressed, supplanted by these new people who wanted to change the city in unacceptable ways. and so he saw a connection between the oppression of the irish by the english -- sorry, rita -- and the oppression of the older san francis cans by newer san francis cans. and it also had a powerful draw because it was his homeland. >> is that what drew him to the hot potato? >> no. what drew him to the hot potato was that warren simmons who wanted to build the hot

marie callas? >> what does you teach me about marie callas. >> i can't remember, dear. >> i think the feelings that the other singers, the younger people who were at the threshold of a career that she's ended her career, what it cost, what it means to her and i find the play deeply moving in a very different way than the way we did the original production which was maybe more of a prima donna. you're over there singing, you get so involved with those kids, you roll up your sleeves and get involved with them in a way. it was different. and -- >> charlie: how much did you go in search of maria marie cas when you accepted this beyond the text. >> lots and lots because it's the first time i played a famous person, a real famous person you can prove. there's recordings and there's films and endless books. >> charlie: and the master class. >> and the master class which was in the same way gypsy creamed the image, gypsy rose lee committed callas, whether it's callas or not we're saying your not doing a documentary. that is taking to character and explode it into a bigger idea. but i read lots and lots of biographies, i looked at lots of pictures. i listened to a lot of music, i listened to the master classes. i stopped doing that because it's not an impression. once i found what i could take away in terms of what i could offer, i keep that but i don't pretend to be to be -- but yet it's a real person. so yes i was obliged to study her. i can't betray her in terms of that. i still do. i got a -- i think read about 11biographies. >> charlie: she was defined by three things. her mother,

mary snowe is in battery park city where she has seen water coming over. mary, how is it right now? >> reporter: anderson, there's flooding here on the tip of manhattan in battery park. and this is normally the park where you may be familiar with lining up for ferries to go to the statue of liberty. we're on the other side of the island from where ali velshi has been reporting. it was anticipated there would be flooding and the river topped its banks. the deepest that the water is is about a foot of water. what we can tell from down here, it's just a park so it has been contained in the park. i think we will head over next to battery park city where there are residents and buildings and see the extent of flooding there. so far officials had been anticipating a storm surge down here between four and eight feet. it remains to be seen how much water will be getting down here. if this is as bad as it gets, it's not as bad as what city officials were fearing. but, again, it's still too early to tell. >> mary, thank you very much. one of the areas we're particularly concerned about is sufficien suffolk county in long island. let's listen in. >> reporter: zoom in to the dead end. and show the breach where the water is coming up. they're telling us the bridge is totally closed, and dune road is under almost three feet of water. >> that's jennifer mclogan reporting for us. she started to get into pertinent facts about a huge bridge there, and dune road is one of the barrier islands and it is shut down. on dune road are a lot of massive homes and modest homes at all, and it's really choice real estate, and she just said it's under a number of feet of water. that's really disturbing, but not unexpected. it's the kinds of thing we will get out eastern on the eastern long island. jennifer was struggling to keep her footing in the hampton bays. and the wind is threatening power lines, and you want to be careful if you are jennifer or anybody else. >> and let's go out where wendy is standing by, an

mary snow live in new york, we'll be talking a lot more over the next few hours. mary, thanks. >>> this is cnn's breaking news coverage of hurricane irene. i'm martin savidge at the cnn world headquarters in atlanta. >> i'm keira phillips. thanks for staying with us for the hurricane coverage. a massive category 1 storm is what we're talking about, slowly churning up the east coast. it it's large, dangerous and relent areless. at least nine deaths are now blamed on this hurricane, more than 1 million customers have lost power. >> right now irene is closing in on ocean city, maryland. like every other beach resort along the mid-atlantic, it is just about deserted. winds have decreased slightly to 80 miles an hour but it remains a hurricane as it it pushes north toward new york. >> irene is especially dangerous because it's moving slowly. we've talked about this all morning, all afternoon. it's almost certain to create a tripling storm surge. as you just heard mary mention, new york transit officials earlier today shut down the city's mass transportation system as a precaution. live pictures now from times square, similar moves have also been made or will be made, we're told, in philadelphia and baltimore. >> and joining us now on the telephone, jeanne meserve who is in ocean city, maryland. jeanne? >> reporter: martin and keira, still dark where we are in ocean city, the lights went out a bit ago in this part of the city. we saw a couple of explosions to the south and think there were probably some transformers that had some problems. but this appears to be localized. we can see other buildings to our west and to our south that still do have power on at this point in time. as for the storm itself, we're still getting very heavy wind, butter for the mome-- but for tt it there is no rain falling. i just took a brief walk on the street to see what conditions are like. where an hour ago there were standing water, for the most part now the streets a
