however, penguin and mcmillan did not settle. so they're still being pursued. and as result since then, the judge who is presiding over both the department of justice and also the class-action suit, she had said in a filing that she was going, she essentially indicated almost for sure that she's going to throw the book at publishers and less than a very, very, very good case in court, it does overlook all that good for them right now. but as to where it stands, for@@ the moment nothing is going@ to happen until the department of justice get a number of letters from the public. so those are happening and there's a number of prominent people like agents in industry insiders and book publishers, and also readers on both sides of the issue had been waning in. they have until june 26 to submit letters to the doj. and i believe that by july 27, the judge is going to you as to whether one, the settlement asked any, and two, how to proceed with all of the suit. so it's very public it, i know. >> how big of a deal isn't? >> it is a huge deal, because essentially what th

this all started believe it or not, the book business started with my inspiration from terry mcmillan. >> wow. >> shout out to terry mcmillan, you're my inspiration for writing more than anyone else was. one of the things that everybody knows you talk about is relationship. how did you get so invested in the male and female relationships? >> you think how can you have a conversation without talking about relationships. i said this yesterday, if you're being cheated on, cheating is cheating. dl is dl. we talk about it, everybody is up in arms. what's the problem? get a picture. it's serious for the man who got cheated on. >> that's true. >> we'll talk about that later. >> you love the romantic relationships especially. >> people love you because you tell them what to do in their relationship with their significant others. >> i love to get deep into what women really want, what women feel and also men's insecurities because we have a lot of insecurities when it comes to revealing our emotion which is why i wrote the first novel. >> so if people were to get one piece of advice from your

the commission of fine arts was created by an act of congress in 1910 initiated by senator james mcmillan of michigan at the turn of the 20th century. since then the commission of fine arts has played an integral role -- the commissions is the principal federal agency for reviewing public and some private structures in the nation capitol. comprised of seven presidentially appointed members who are selected for their expertise in the arts played a particular role in the design of national symbols, including monuments on the national mall, overseas military cemeteries or coins and nettles produced by the united states mint. these need to be worthy of our nation and our civic ideals. the commission has been actively engaged in realizing the full intent of the mall that was envisioned in the mcmillan plan of 1902. including playing a key role in deciding the design of the lincoln memorial almost 100 years ago, most recently the commission of fine arts has reviewed such plans at the vet ran's -- disabled american veterans memorial and the smithsonian museum of natural history and culture. in a

been completely gutted from the inside by the water which came right up to the tops of the windows mcmillan managed to escape and sat all night on a neighbor's fence while her house collapsed she was perhaps a lucky one though his neighbors say just down the road a neighbor an old woman had her house collapse on top of her all night perched on top of the neighbor's fence the flood surging around. but the water had risen to more than three meeting a i was sitting on the bench bring it wouldn't come higher because they knew i would have drowned most of those who died were elderly too frail to escape the deluge those who did manage to make it to safety say they will never forget what happened i grabbed the curtain and pushed my feet through the window this can save my life the helicopter did not see me at first but i started to wave my cane and it came back it couldn't land so it didn't pick me up after that a boat came and i started to shout they save me for those left behind the basic necessities must now take priority. where looking through the rubble for our things wash them in this water

one in california, the mcmillan case, and one in boston and one just in new jersey. of workers who were prosecuted and in some cases sent to jail on the testimony of little kids who were in some cases led in the questioning by people who believed strongly that there was a satanic ritual, and it was a strange period. in kind of the history of the american psychological epidemics, it is a very, very touchy issue obviously. you have covered other sex abuse cases, and what do you think is the best way to approach this as a problem? do you think that we should have web sites with the names of sexual predators? how do you balance and how do you get to the truth of a case? how do you ensure that the people are not accused unjustly or allowed to continue if they are in fact guilty? >> well, i don't even try to have the silver bullet to a question like that, however, i can say that one of the -- one -- really probably the only rewarding thing about this experience for me has been the amount of people who are talking about sex abuse. not just child sex abuse but all sex abuse.

. >> talking about this is steve mcmillan, and grover nordqvist. >> yes, one of the thinks the bush administration was bring the dividends down from 35% to 15. to let that snap back up because of balm's higher taxes. it would be very helpful for the economy and devastating to holder retired people who count on dividends. >> do you think it will go that way, though? you have to believe they will agree to extend some of those tax cuts. it's not brain surgery giveen that dividend paying companies is any place anybody is getting any yield. >> this is all up to the presidential election. we all know obama's position. he could have made 15% permanent 2009, 2010, he never did. he wants that to snap up to the 45% range. romney made it clear he will keep it at 15. >> what's interesting here is you not only have a policy disagreement on the appropriate level of what taxation should be, but they want to bring it up to the ordinary level of income. as you note, the fiscal cliff occurs, and we fall off of it, we could have a fax policy that no one is far. that is the full tax hit on americans. >> how do you th

first, check out our facebook fan of the day and we say hello to sherry mcmillan.rry says she watches every day for julie's traffic updates which makes sure he gets to work on time. >> thank you for being our fan of the day. stay with us. we'll be right back for your news at 6:00. over the next four months, you u have a choice to make. not just between two political parties, or even two people. it's a choice between two very different plans for our country. governor romney's plan would cut taxes for the folks at the very top. roll back regulations on big banks. and he says that if we do, our economy will grow and everyone will benefit. but you know what? we tried that top down approach. it's what caused the mess in the first place. i believe the only way to create an economy built to last is to strengthen the middle class. asking the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way. so that we can afford to invest in education, manufacturing, and home-grown american energy for good middle class jobs. sometimes politics can seem very small.

. >> katherine mcmillan has been in segregation for almost two years. >> i have an 11- to 14-year sentence as a habitual felon and i am in prison for making checks on the computer and cashing checks. i got into a fight. i beat a girl up down in the seg quad and she had two black eyes and she had to go out to the hospital and i ended up coming up here. >> there are two classifications of inmates in the segregation unit -- intensive control or icon, and maximum control, also known as mcon. both require isolation, but mcon inmates pose the most serious threat. >> why do i have this on? because i'm a max con inmate. max con inmates have to wear this right here. technically, i'm supposed to have on leg irons but since i have a medical from the doctor i can't wear those for six months. once i become an icon inmate, i go in handcuffs. and when we put it through here and they put our hands through there and they take it off. yeah, the fresh air feels good, because you got people that stink and they don't like to take baths and you are shut up in a building all day and it's kind of cloggy in there

. >> rob mcmillan, founder of silicon county bank's wine division says during the downturn farmers stoppedre we've gone from a long position in inventory to short position and that changes the game. >> does that make wine a good investment now? the land may be a better investment than grapes. >> nothing safe about investing in a brand or being in the wine business. >> the best way to invest in wine is probably to drink it. >> here here. you can now drink some of the hardest wine to find, screaming eagle, the most exclusive wine in napa. you saw this in 2004 for sale, took this pit at costco, the price a steal at $1774. doesn't look like it's in a temperature controlled cabinet. also, a story how chinese investors starting to buy up napa winery. that was $2,000, this is $2. >> i remember your two buck chuck stories from not too long ago. interestingly costco says those big ticket items people tend to not buy when they walk in. they will leave, come back, and then buy because they are thinking i'm not going to get that price anywhere else. >> how did you become the wine and spirits reporter

and in its earlier years, the commission of fine arts was the main institution stewarding the mcmillan plan, and in fact one of the great successes was opposing the franklin delano roosevelt who was is 50-foot classic concrete stabs at the time the commissioner of fine arts understood the tradition of the classical arts and believe they could do so again. >> at present you don't feel they do? >> it's a mixed bafplgt sometimes they weigh in appropriately, and other times i think they ignore the classical pairing this is the trends in art and culture you go to a museum and see a shark in formaldehyde there's something similar going on in that piece that unfortunately affects main stream at times. >> at the risk of being out of touch, some of the monments that you propose in this retro classic style that you think is the only way to go, how is it inclusive, and how does it tell the story of america today? i understand when you memorialize someone, there's thed a her asian and level of hero worship but how do we see the complexity of those people, the issue how do we deal with those two qu

today we find ourselves in a predicament like that of the mcmillan commission. the classical vision for the city and its monumental core has once again been forgotten, ignored, and violated. sadly, the national park service and other agencies charged with preserving the mall have been neglecting their commission. the mall was created by the mcmillan plan deserves to be protected, yet when getting official prove to the eisenhower memorial, a post-modern eyesore that clashes with our tradition of presidential memorials, the park service did not even bother to consider the design's cultural and historical impact on the mall and other protected sites. the good news is there is a solution. the future is rooted in the past. what we need is a plan for the district of columbia that carries on the brilliant vision of our founders. the mcmillan plan for our time, that would preserve and extend the best of our capital into a third century. it was none other than franklin delano roosevelt who made sure the jefferson memorial was built over the objections of out of touch eli
