economy, the atlantic magazine hosted an event to find out. in this discussion economists from business, labor and think tanks go through what caused the problems and possible solutions. this is an hour and 15 minutes. >> in this conference we have very specifically tried to include voices from across the spectrum, in some respects you might say that is the purpose of this conference, and we have asked them straightforward question, what should we do now? through the day we're hoping to hear different ideas and hopefully some provocative proposals. for my part, i would ask a few questions to keep in mind. has the u.s. private sector already started to relever, taking impetus away from the need for more stimulus. shouldn't we be making more differentiation between fiscal stimulus that is productive and that which is unproductive. have we properly framed the population question? the most important phenomenon of the last couple centuries has been the unprecedented population growth and the many respects the world is built in expectation of high p

along the atlantic coast. the need to do this came from logistical practicalities of maintaining a blockade by steam powered warships. those warships had to be resimplied regularly with food, fresh water and of course, coal. at the outset, the only naval bases that the union had available to do this were at the extreme ends of the blockade. here, in hampton roads, virginia, and 1,000 miles to the south at key west, florida. ships blockading charleston halfway between the two had to steam about 500 miles north or 500 miles south to get more coal. burning up about half of what they could carry to make the trip. for the long run this would not do. they needed a closer refuge. if a blockade was to become effective. and this led to several efforts to grab sections of the confederate coastline. and the first such effort took place on the carolina capes. the geography of the carolinas made it a natural sanctuary for both blockade runners and armed vessels of the confederacy. the barrier islands offered natural protec

but eko atlantic is meant to outshine them all. the monumental project could become the new face of africa -- an ultra-modern city on the ocean for those able to afford it. the sand divers will have little to do with the new city. they risk their lives to provide material for the streets and single-family houses. as long as the boom lasts, they're guaranteed an income. the sand divers will eventually go home to the slums. and eko atlantic will be the city of someone else's future. >> and now we take you to the swiss alps. as part of our global living room series we visit the residence of the anthamatten family. most paying guests come here for the views and to experience the traditional swiss lifestyle. so here our reporters took up a very cosy invitation to find out what life is like between alpine peaks and grazing cows. >> hello. welcome to our home in saas-fee. come in! this is our living room. here our two of our children -- klara, noel -- their papa -- and the two older boys are playing sports." >> hello. welcome! the kids ge

titanic was able to withstand anything the atlantic ocean could throw at it. what it could not do is be able to stay intact if it was starting to go unstable and the bow was lifted greater than about 10 to 15 degrees which eventually happened which the ship eventually split apart. the ship sank not because it split apart. the ship sank because it was going unstable in the lateral -- longitudinal direction. we also get statistics on the lost-saved, we updated all that in terms of by gender, by class. so we have specific how many lived and how many did not live as a result of that. so here is the one chart that i pulled out of the book to show you of the total lost-saved. you may see it written on certain websites and certain articles. a lot of documentaries, more than 1500 people did not survive. it turns out that it was actually less than 1500, the exact number, 1,496 were lost and 712 actually survived. one of the tragedies of the disaster was the fact that not all classes of people were treated equally. nothing is more -- shows that up more strikingly than t

what you see on the bottom of the atlantic today is not one hull, but two. two major sections of titanic. there is the bow section which is shown up here which is about 800 yards north of the stern section. and what happened is the 14 eyewitnesss who swore that the ship split apart actually were correct. it did split apart. it did not sink intact. right now we take pretty much the center of the boiler field located just about over here to be the exact spot over which titanic broke in half and came -- and sank. those coordinates are, as you can see here, are well known today. the other thing i mentioned before is there was no 37 seconds of warning. actually they were given a lot more than that. once the order was given to have the ship turn away from the iceberg, the ship did not take 30 seconds to strike the berg. if it took 37 seconds to strike the iceberg, it turns out that the iceberg would have had to have been to center line of the ship in order for it to have struck the iceberg in the bow as shown here. that's the dotted line here, shows where the iceb

many observers on both sides of the atlantic thought it simply couldn't be done. and even if it could, there was the legal problem that lincoln's pronouncement of a blockade could easily be considered a de facto resignation of the government, because after all, blockades could only be directed against foreign powers. did lincoln mean to imply that the confederacy was indeed a foreign power? whatever the long-term consequences of that legal complication, the more immediate problem was making the blockade effective in accordance with the legal requirement. gideon wells, who i saw earlier wandering around the passageways today, a union secretary of the navy, dispatched the handful of warships that were immediately available, a total of 12 of them, down to blockade the south's principle seaports. he ordered home all of the vessels that were currently overseas on distant station patrol. he embarked on a crash program to acquire new ships to ov. to oversee the acquisition of these new vessels, he hired a man named morgan. he happened to be wells' brother-in-law. as you

black refugees along the south atlantic coast frequently flagged down passing vessels or even rode out in canoes or handmade rafts to seek asylum with the union blockaders. which is ellory steadman's sketch of one family coming aboard. most weren't as well dressed as this fellow seems to be. most, perhaps, of the younger men were taken into the naval service. other families, elderly people, women, children were then colonized along the coast of the on shore islands where they made a rehearsal for freedom in sustaining themselves, growing vegetables for their own sustenance and even growing cash cows for export and managing to make a tidy little profit. meanwhile, the men who volunteered for navy service became part of the crews, the first truly integrated military force in american history. there were, of course, black soldiers in the civil war, as we all know, but they were deployed in segregated regiments. hard to do that on a ship. ships are crowded places. about 15% of those crews, 15 to 18%, were made up of african-americans. many of them as former slaves known in the vernacular o

weather conditions prompted the national weather service to issue a fire warning across the mid-atlantic region earlier this month. fire officials say using outdoor fires still can pose a risk and they stress never, never leave a fire unattended. anny hong joins us from the weather center. when can we expect that rai ? >> not for the next few days. the fact that we'll warm things uneven more tomorrow before we get any real rain around here. we're actually still under a drought. in fact, we are abnormally dry, and if you look even to the farther west, the drought conditions are even worse. moderate to severe drought out towards the eastern shore. it looks like we're still not going to get a really good rainmaker around here. we've got no snow melt. four, almost five inches below the average when it comes to yearly rainfall. we have dry soil and dry fuel. what's helping right now, the reason we don't have a red flag warning is the relative humidity is actually increasing. it's helping us lower that fire danger. now, right now, temperatures are warm outside. mid-70s in downtown. 73 in manas

at that time the traffic across the north atlantic was incredible. the immigration rush was on. about 2 million people a year were crossing the ocean and there was a jolt going on because the ship building is a fragile industry and they built ships when business is good and they built too many and business was bad kind of like what just happened in our own economy they negotiate the deal with jpmorgan to sell the store line of which he was a shareholder and convince the president of the white star line that this was a good idea. this is the reprehensible character when they left titanic she was the one with a mustache and got into the last lifeboat leaving the ship. the son of the founder of light star, he was often mistaken for arrogance that he was very shy, he wasn't forceful, and he was able to control him. so, in 1907 they realized they had to build bigger ships to compete and they decided the commission three sister ships, olympic, titanic and olympic will be built first than titanic and then britannic. they will be the largest man-made objects that ever moved in the histo

saturday's not a washout on the mid-atlantic, up into new england. but by the time we get into sunday, the storm system begins to form and strengthen. it should become a full-fledged nor'easter, we haven't even had any of those through the winter season. no snow with this. looks like it will be all rain. but it will be a heavy rain event come sunday in the mid-atlantic and eventually that heavy rain during the day will move northward. and then come monday morning when people are trying to go to work it could be very ugly up here in new england. it's going to be windy, rainy, coastal flooding and that will be a very interesting monday morning commute, lynn. so been awhile since we had a big east coast rainstorm, and it looks like it's going to ruin some people's sunday and monday. not so much saturday. >> but like you said, we need it. >> desperately need it. >> coming up, iphone sales slip. microsoft drives. and starbucks debugs its menu. your first look at this morning's business headlines is straight ahead. >>> coming up another overtime thriller b
