gilbert and sullivan, p.g. woodhouse and nature. like dad he loved to experience through hiking, mount tam, at lan, barvarian alps. one summer i had a job at signal mountain lodge in the tee tons. he came to visit and read nick adams stories. now is now is now. inspired, he signed on for a job. long after school chris was still there, immersed in the culture. not only hiking, fishing and camping but hunting elk. hard to believe. one of the last times i was with chris we took a long run through the trails of walnut creek. he was reading a book of how to keep running as we enter our later years. giving me pep talks in how to drag myself out of bed in cold, dark mornings for that run. i was inspired. through mom he learned the value of visiting a foreign country. the importance of talking to people in their own language. when he was a comfortable piedmont high schooler playing tennis and drinking beer -- sorry -- [ laughter] >> mom signed him up for the american field service. she thought he might be sent to brazil to work in sugar can

annapolis to the south, all of southern anne arundel county, down towards p.g. county, you're dealing with some slight snow and flurries. d.c. land right now seeing a good burst of snow. that's where i do think we'll see our burst of snow coming in during the course of the morning hours. again, everything sliding from south to north. in a few hours this band running right along 95 and it will be in the city limits towards the tail end of your morning commute. winter weather advisories toward the north. again, expecting snow to rain just about a dusting to an inch of snow, and this is, again, from the city on points towards the north right on the carroll/baltimore county line and then it's snow to ice to rain. could see a snow accumulation of two to three inches before that changeover. beyond that, from thermont out towards hagerstown, well to the north and west, it's a snow and ice storm. five to 12 inches of snow and along the eastern slopes of the appalachian mountains could pick up a foot or better. rain is going to be a big problem from the city on toward po

if you have any information about this young man, p.g. county police do want to hear from you. the number is 301-699-2601. >>> so far charges have not been filed against a store employee who shot and killed a man on christmas morning. anne arundel county police say it looks like 30-year-old byron phillips from chester broke into arunderel collectives. officers spent christmas investigating this and the employee involved has not been identified, but officers do say that he's cooperating with the investigation. >>> this is a horrible story for us on this wednesday. this man is accused of killing a 1-month-old baby and today deon wear will be in court for a preliminary hearing. police were called to a home in baltimore city last month after the baby stopped breathing. after looking at the child, medical examiners ruled the baby died of blunt force trauma. wear is now being charged with murder, assault, reckless endangerment and child abuse. >>> news time right now six minutes after 5:00. new this morning president obama is ending his christmas vacation a little early. he's going t

so, what you have now is typically a bill from p.g. and e., a gas portion and an electric portion cleared marked. look at the electric portion. you'll get a usage area and a box at the end. it will break down like this. it says five rate tiers you call them. you get a baseline rate at a cheap amount. you get another 30% amount at a cheap rate. this is your baseline rates, these two. but when you use more, you pay more. and what it looks like graphically is, boy, there is a lot up here. so these rates are where your big expenses come. if you're in these rates, solar can make a lot of sense. they go up very dramatically, 222 cents, 32. let's say we have a case study. you have a $100 electric only. that's $1,200 a year. after 10 years, it's $12,000 if rates don't rise. let's assume that rates rise at the historical average which has been 6% over the past 30 years. so let's assume -- i think that might be conservative, let's assume that. so that means that after 10 years, you'll probably have paid out $16,000 and your bill by then will be

what children and kids are seeing even on p.g. movies and these video games, like "black ops 2" and those kinds of things. i mean, really, we have a more violent society in general, and i think a lot of it has to be looked at in that framework. >> schieffer: let me ask you, senator warner, what is the romance of these assault-style weapons? i mean, i've-- like senator hutchison, i know a lot of people that hunts, but i don't know anybody that goes hunting with one of those? what's the fascination with it? >> you know, bob, i don't know, either. i've shot some of these weapons on shooting ranges, but the idea that you might have to simply reload after a clip of 10 shells does not seem to be an undue infringement. again, that's not going to be a perfect solution but it ought to be one of the things talked about. in my gut, as i said, enough is enough at this point. what i hope and pray is as we get into the christmas season, the memories of this tragedy fade, we don't let this issue recede until six, eight, nine months, and we see a
