chris tillman gave up six runs in his last start, exponentially better tonight in houston.xcept the win. -- picked up the win. third inning, ninth in the batting order, first on the scoreboard. solo shot put the orioles in front 1-0. the popular nickname on twitter for nate mclouth is dash. that is why. takes home on the throwing error by jason castro as the orioles sale to 4-1 win. the astros lose for the first time in seven games. texas pitcher justin grimm had a night that lived up to his last name. first-inning, jackie bradley junior, deep and gone to right field. first career homer for the red sox. theh inning, red sox made rangers disappear. mike carp with a deep shot. red sox scored in every inning but the eighth. boston beats texas 17-5. according to es pn, major league baseball could soon suspend up to 20 players, including yankees third baseman alex rodriguez, for their connection to a miami- area click called biogenesis. rodriguez could face a 100-day suspension as a second time doping offender. tony bosch has agreed to meet with baseball officials and given evid

but this line has grown exponentially. this person was the first person in line, carlie. she got her number. you are what? >> number one in line. >> reporter: number one in line. she got here at 1:00 yesterday afternoon. as you can see, people here are waiting patiently. the folks that you're looking at right now were here overnight. all of this in anticipation of the historic ruling for gay marriage. this may have been the scene yesterday morning. people from all over the country want to witness history. everyone thought that the justices would wait until the last day to decide on two important issues, the gay rights fight. only thing that the public didn't anticipate is that it would come wednesday instead of thursday. there are so many types of people out here and we talked to one republican who is for gay marriage. . no one is losing by allowing more people to build families. i think it's possible to have a social conservative reason for gay marriage. i think the more people can live in two-person families, the better off childhoods will be, better off people will be.

but really it just gets exponentially more dangerous. >> they want to do more and more spectacular thingss explains how it's done. >> we keep our flights open for new options. and i discovered a potentially very interesting line. >> now they are out there keeping their eyes open for new routes. when they find one -- >> that means going home and developing a flight plan. on google earth, the line looks very promising. >> so they're not just flinging themselves off the top of mountains. there's a lot of thought and process that goes into this. >> here's a look at their new line. it's spectacular! the prox imity to the mountain, the prox imity to each other. the height off the ground is incredible. >> they are just skimming these trees and these rocks and cliffs like one inch. >> the wrong way and they are a bug on a windshield. >> or on a rock. >> this is the most breathtaking angle. watch this view. >> i really enjoy this line. it's hydrodynamic and turning around sharp corners made me feel like racing in a formula one car in the air. >> i didn't realize they could turn and curve. >> it fe

we're having a year of record -- a ramp up slope of water main breaks that soon is going to reach exponential. man: the damage has been done. and this is the culprit. brunhart: today, 25% of our 5,500 miles of underground water pipes has reached the end of useful life. by the year 2020, 85% will have reached the end of useful life. woman: what to do? wssc is working on that costly problem right now. brunhart: it's not only true here, but it's true throughout our nation. narrator: across the united states, cities and towns are facing the challenge of aging and outdated drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. it's a national problem. but it needs to be approached system by system. allbee: let's frame the systems in terms of the proper context. we have around 16,000 wastewater systems. we don't have a single wastewater system -- we have 16,000 of them. we have about 54,000 drinking water systems. narrator: issues facing new york city are very different from those in los angeles. and challenges facing small towns are very different from those in metropolitan areas. man: we have

until we address that problem and expand exponentially. jails will still be filled with poor people and people of color. you're not ending the war on drugs. we need to think of at holistic play as a public-health problem. not as a rush also the people who are selling and people are selling a rock to a police officer pretending to be an addict. all those people need help. >> i think that have given my all for the cause. i will leave it to george to put the capper on it. >> what is the sanction for opposing -- he is one of your members. >> he is and he is a valued member of the association. as an elected official, he is entitled to his own opinion. >> thank you. i have to say that, i want to think marty for coming here. he knew he was coming into this. i want to repeat. i am in the minority in the association. i think concerning this item, it is important for me and all of us to recognize there are ballot points of view. if we're serious about developing solutions that work for all of us, we have to entertain those points of view and tried t

much like the electronics business, just the speed of technology's, you know, exponential. it goes faster. and so that's it--we've always got to be out in front trying to find out what is that next thing that the consumers are looking for. >> and at the top of most consumer surveys is convenience. the variety of lettuce in each package eliminates the need to buy a lot of different heads of lettuce, and thus allows for customized blends. also, the petite size and shape of each artisan lettuce head lets folks have a quick and easy preparation as well as flexibility in sizes and cuts. in fact, the lettuce only needs two cuts, a quick rinse in the sink, and a crisping in the fridge, and you're all ready to plate. ok, julie, we're at the last--my favorite step--the eating process. we've cut, we've rinsed, we've crisped. now what do we do with the lettuce? >> basically you plate it, get ready to plate it up. you put some oil and vinegar salad dressing with a little salt and pepper in it, and just toss it 'cause you don't want to cover it up with too much of a heavy thing. >> tast

citizenship their check powers and their ability to earn and contribute to the communities grows exponentially and this is part of the work that we need to do as mayers and senator and let's get this done in our life times. if does not happen this year it will not happen in your lifetime. we got to get it done, that is why we were there in washington, d.c. advocating with our partners to do that. that should be part of the way that we celebrate is we work harder to earn the passport for everybody else. i did not become mayor just to celebrate. i also became mayor to keep the doors of opportunity open for future generations. and it means a lot for the whole asian community to be a part of this as well. because, you know what opportunities we seize upon it and then we work it and we open the doors for everybody else. and that is how a city becomes successful. because we keep those opportunities opened. so it means, much more than just cultural celebrations. you put in the light of history, and you work it with all of the elected officials and the appointed officials whether they are commissioner

veteran now kills himself every sixty five minutes on average so what factors are contributing to the exponential growth of military suicides to explore just that i'm joined by michelle cornett subject matter expert on military suicide at the center for deployment psychology thank you so much for coming on michel thank you so what main factors do you think are attributed to this increase in suicide. well it's a very complicated issue and we have to remember that service members and veterans are also civilians and in some respects that the risk factors are similar. so you know. things such as being a single person being childless i'm having other sorts of precipitating life stressors also put service members at risk. one of the phenomena that i think has been a little bit under addressed is the fact that we now know that most individuals who die by suicide have not been deployed and furthermore of course have not had combat history and so there are other factors at play and we're still learning what some of those are do you think about might be building measure because i was talking to a veteran w

seven billion compared to seventy two billion so since nine eleven the industry has really grown exponentially and we know how long this has been going on yet while this really has. blown up after nine eleven and with the installment of the patriot act it has really led to a lot of policies which have opened up this surveillance state here in the u.s. and really at the bottom of this is the perceived conflict of interest where we see government officials going back and forth between contractors and there's this perception that they're influencing policy they're overselling true national security threats in order to make a buck ramona i have to tell you it does look like one another example of the revolving door situation that we've seen for a while now booz allen hamilton employees are in a say and they seem to go round and round but let me ask you a question playing devil's advocate here why do critics believe that private security contracts for surveillance are dangerous why would that be a bad thing. sure well besides these these personal conflicts of interest there's still the issue of peo
