if those of you who are interested, i wrote a piece for "the atlantic." you can google my name and the bricks and find this interesting paper. there was an ocd paper that was produced and i can't remember the gentleman's name who wrote it but it was on the future of the middle class and looking at development. but there was a fascinating, sobering chart that looked at various stages, middle-class development, and what those shares of the global middle class would be really by region, india and china were broken out, u.s. was broken out, europe, et cetera. and what you saw in that chart was over time, how very large globs of the european share of the global middle class and the american share of the middle class, whittled down to very small, tiny bits by 2050. and the middle class represented by india and china, very substantial. that in latin america and africa remained minor and relatively insignificant. and what you just said about all of those coming into the middle class represent really great opportunities. but it also says something else. is that th

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

it finally dissipated far out in the north atlantic on september 22nd.ne hugo would turn out to be one of the worst storms in history. it caused $7 billions worth of damage in the us alone and $3 billion in the caribbean, making it one of the costliest natural disasters on record. yet despite the widespread havoc the death toll was comparatively light, just 35 people are believed to have perished in the us and 74 in the caribbean. in addition thousands of people were left homeless and the rebuilding programme would take years to complete. october 25th 1998, central america. around mid-morning a massive hurricane was heading relentlessly over the southwest caribbean sea towards honduras. meteorologists had already classed it as a category five storm, the highest grade on the saffir-simpson scale. named hurricane mitch it would prove to be one of the deadliest storms in history, costing thousands of lives. by october 26th the winds had increased to 180 miles-an-hour and meteorologists realized it was building into a storm of epic proportions as it continue

"the atlantic" as you may know was founded a very long time ago in the 1850s to advance big ideas in the culture and the society and particularly to try to promote the abolition of slavery. when the magazine actually launched in november of 1857 the country was very preoccupied with a different issue, which was the economic crash of that year. the big public policy offering in the first issue of

along the atlantic coast. the need to do this came from logistical practicalities of maintaining a blockade of steam powered warships. those warships had to be resupplied 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 prote

many observers on both sides of the atlantic thought it could not be done. and even if it could, there was the legal problem. lincoln's pronouncement could be a recognition of the confederate government. after all blockades can be against foreign powers. did lincoln mean to imply the confederacy was indeed a foreign power? well whatever the long-term consequences of that legal complication, the more immediate problem was making the blockade perfected. gideon wells, who i saw wandering around the passageways earlier today, union secretary of the navy, dispatched the handful of war ships that were available, a total of 12 of them, down to blockade the south principle seaports, ordered home all the vessels then currently overseas on distant station patrol, embarked on a crash program to require new ships. to oversee the acquisition of new vessels wells appointed a man, george d. morgan, competent, experienced businessman who happened to be wells' brother-in-law. as you can imagine there was some squawking about this. in congress. principally because morgan took

but by late 1943, the focus of the war has shifted back across the atlantic. american troops have invaded north africa. the brits have pushed the germans east from el al la main and they're talking about invading the continent of europe. so martha, martha is the only woman in ernest's life who really was close to a match for him, you know, her writing at both fiction and nonfiction stands on its own two feet and she's about ten years younger than ernest and she's going, ernest, cuba, cuba is yesterday's story. we need today's story. we need to go to europe. we need to position ourselves for the -- for the invasion for what's going to happen out there. ernest resists. he says, you know, i got an important mission in cuba and she goes off for awhile to europe. he stays home, he writes her, he's an amazing letter writer. one of the interesting things about ernest, he writes five, six, seven letters a day and these letters, you know, they not like tweets, you know, he's writing two, three, seven, eight, nine ten pages to various correspondents so there's a lot of

it will quickly move into the mid-atlantic and that brings a chance for snow showers in the mid-atlantic tomorrow as well. tomorrow what a drop in the temperatures. near zero in international falls in the northern part of minute men, 10 in minneapolis. 40's along the east coast. we can see that cold air pushing into florida or -- florida where miami is really the only warm tot spot now. western counties, dropping to near the freezing mark as you head into parts of western maryland. forecast today keeps most of western maryland chilly. 35 in counties like garrett. a couple snow showers possible. they could see up to an inch of accumulation overnight. baltimore a high of 49 just with the cloud cover today. looking mostly dry. showers still possible down along the eastern shore. showers still possible this evening down into southern maryland. baltimore mostly cloudy with a low down to 29. futurecast is going to show that storm is passing by to our south. another chance of showers this evening. again south of baltimore. then comes this next storm system. it is a fine line where this storm is

and we know that we will need stronger cooperation across the atlantic and in europe to fill them. so in chicago, i will look for a commitment to make sure that this is what we deliver. smart defense is about building capabilities together. but we also need to be able to operate them together. that is why i have launched the connected forces initiative. it puts a premium on training and education exercises and better use of technology. our operations have given a boost to nato's transformation, and we must make sure we keep the lessons we have learned even when those operations end. so we get where we need to be at the end of this decade and beyond because chicago will mark an important chapter in this journey of transformation. but it will not be the end of the story. finally, i would like to comment on the good news from the western balkans. i welcome the agreement between belgrade and pristina on kosovo's participation in regular meetings. this is a step forward, and it shows that the way forward is through dialogue. i also welcome the european union's decision to award serbia c

as we head into the long period, we're going to see that warmth continuing up the mid- atlantic. like new england is going to be in for a nice good flow and you can see some temperatures breaking some records in the next 24 to 48 hours. sky conditions not bad. we have a ridge of high pressure off the coast of new england. that's dominating our weather pattern. we are going to see increasing clouds into the course of tonight. let's take a quick look at radar because areas to the west, a different story. we've got some rain and a few thunderstorms embedded here that are moving your way through. i expect to see some of this headed its way into parts of west virginia into the panhandle. not anticipating it making it too far east but i can't rule out a passing sprinkle. other than, that things are actually going to be fairly calm around here. as we go back to the weather maps then, we are ending up seeing a little bit of that patchy fog in the morning but it's going to start to develop after midnight tonight. then we'll watch that moisture start to push its way in across the west. it

atlantic published its first in november of 1857 in boston. the magazine was basically created by a group ofwriters who came together with two fundamental purposes. one was to capture what they saw as an emerging voice -- an emerging american voice in letters, one their own voice. the other was to abolish slavery. they were very committed abolitionist. this was a very radical idea still. they were interested in promoting the founding of a magazine what they called the american idea. they didn't exactly define what they meant but regarded slavery as antithetical to that idea and a terrible blot on the union. >> he mentions the articles originally were published anonymously. why was that? >> the tradition of the time. authorship was much less of an important thing than it is now. just to add to something that james said, the magazine was founded to sort of espouse the american idea, the time the country was young enough, 1857, less than 100 years old, always looking back over our shoulder at europe. what is the distinctive person voice. also we

east winds are holding the high temperatures short in atlantic city. here are these thunderstorm cells off to the west. the trajectory is to push them to the south. there are the east winds. here is the cold front. the warm air has been pushed a little farther west. we are right under that front right now. those of you in northeast maryland and eastern shore may not warm up quite as much as everybody else. the real rainmaker is going to be this cold front in iowa and illinois it, coming out of the great lakes. this is a little complex that warmed up in the warm air. this will be ahead of this cold front to the west of us. a big chunk of the nation is very warm in the noon hour today. or cloudiness and rain chance is to the west of us. some of that is going on right now. it might get a little closer to us. we might want to favor these mid-70's, and for many of you, it may not even get that warm up today at the farther east you are. temperatures today -- we warm up here but we also see the eastern shore quite a bit cooler. tonight, temperatures drop down

in 2010 trans atlantic partnerships produced eight of the nine nobel prizes in science. direct investment between britain and america is the largest in the world and that stands at $900 billion. this creates and sustains around a million jobs each side of the atlantic and it provides a strong foundation for bilateral trade worth nearly $200 billion a year. in fact, american investment in the uk is eight times larger than china and uk america is nearly 140 times that of china. so, yes, the world is changing at a faster rate than ever before and the ways we will influence events are changing with it. but one thing remains unchanged. the ceaseless back and forth between our two nations through ideas, friendship, business, and shared endeavor. and that's why i believe that we can be sure that in 50 years' time an american president and a british prime minister will stand ons we do now. they will stand here as we do for freedom and for enterprise. our two countries, the united states of liberty and enterprise. that is why i'm so pleased to be here today, to celebrate an essen

across the mid-atlantic, it is still warm. you have to go to northern maine to find the last bits of winter hanging on. we have 80's all the way back to chicago. mid to upper 80's around st. louis. we will continue in this very warm air mass for another day or so before the front tries to push through here on the day friday. that will bring a chance for showers and storms. in the north still dealing with snow. it is dry under the high- pressure all across the great lakes, ohio valley and mid atlantic. isolated storms try toing to get going. you can see that on our satellite raider composite. basically clear skies. cooling off very slowly through the evening. off the coast, winds coming in off the ocean. higher up in the mountains, temperatures cool a little bit due to the elevation. in some of the valley's it is warm up like petersburg, va. dear dea in 46-54 for the low tonight. sunsets at 7:13. it will be a beast that warm again tomorrow because of the mild flow of air coming from the south and southwest pushing the warmth of

mid-atlantic, big cities. no problems from d.c. to new york. a windy day for new england through the mid-atlantic. the wind out of the north pretty strong. temperatures will be pretty mild for this time of year. the areas of concern, who needs to pay attention to possible tornadoes later today? mostly the greater kansas city area off to omaha. it's not going to be a widespread tornado outbreak but we could see a few tornadoes. of course, it only takes one or two to take a life. then back towards northern oklahoma, it looks like mostly the chance of large hail. and that looks to be just north of oklahoma city. so lynn, we're getting towards the peak months of tornado season. ever since we had those horrible ones about two weeks ago, so far, so good. we'll see how we do later on today. >> bill, thanks so much. >>> a dip in oil, a spike in one ceo's salary. and raw data on just how much we rely on apple. your first look at this morning's business headlines is straight ahead. >>> coming up, a big night for kevin love. the knicks put a spell on the

so the caq is very proud to be an underwriter of the atlantic's economy summit. the caq just brief briefly is a public policy organization based here in d.c. and our mission is to focus on enhancing competence and public trust in our capital markets through public company auditing. so i, of course, am very interested to hear not only what our last panel had to say, even though it was a bit pessimistic, but also what our next panel will say. hopefully they'll have some ideas that will give us some optimism. one of the things that we do at the caq is an annual survey of investors. and these are main street, man on the street, woman on the street, investors. and we just issued a few months ago our fifth annual survey and i was very pleased to be able to present those findings working with the atlantic on their investor confidence forum here in washington, d.c. one of the things that we found is despite the bad economy, man on the street, the thousand investors that we interviewed or surv surveyed, there was still a remarkable amount of confidence in the system. 7-10

the system pushed in and out to the atlantic as of now. it did drop snow in to southern maryland, calvert, the ocean city, the beach there is as well. for today, we are not dealing with snow, we are dealing with cold temperatures this morning. we could see the clear skies as we zoom in. with that temperatures are able to drop off. that's what you need to focus on. we can see, 21 degrees. we don't have a windchill , the winds are calm right now. we are dealing with the cold temperatures as we head in to centerville, 30 degrees there and it feels like 30. in to the afternoon , the winds will switch from the northwest to the south and yes, temperatures will begin to warm up, especially as we go in to tomorrow and beyond. >>> he was buried under 10 feet of snow. >> rescue of a snowmobiler and all caught on camera. >>> this morning, how much does it cost to take care of your pet? it's not cheap. we are going to break it down for you. what do you get when you combine the home depot with this weekend? the cure for cabin fever. because with get-it

[applause] >> thank you very much, richard. i'd like to tell you all a quick story about the "atlantic" to explain why the conversation we're going to have together today means so much to us. "the atlantic" was founded a very long time ago in the 1850s, to advance big ideas and cultural, and to try to promote the abolition of slavery. when the magazine actually launched in november of 1857, the country was very preoccupied with a different issue, which was the economic crash of that year, and so the big public policy offering in the first issue of "the atlantic" that november was not about slavery. it was about the state of the economy. and our writer surveyed the landscape and he identified four dif

in the great lakes and, of course, its course downstream moving northeasterly all the way to the atlantic. and quebec being the main french fortress and most powerful single point in canada was to be very significant in the conflict. so let's take a look at a modern map and get a sense of this geography. now today beyond discussing the military history i'd like to give you a little sense of the human dimensions of this conflict. and the various peoples and interests involved. the struggles, the sufferings which were great, the haipt lea. the french colonists of acadia who were largely deported and expelled from their native land by the british during the conflict. we'll also talk about a battle that occurred in the lake champlain corridor actually on the shores of lake george and triggered a famous episode, a massacre that's featured in the movie, "the last of the mohicans." as well as the book, of course, by james fennimore cooper, the 19th century novel. we'll also talk about the turning point in the war, how in the early stages of north america the british and british colonials were fa

telling "the atlantic" jeffrey goldberg, i don't bluff. i don't go around advertising exactly what our intentions are, but i think both the iranian and israeli governments recognize when the united states says it is unacceptable for iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say. mr. obama faces pressure from all sides on iran. at a campaign fund-raiser in new york last night, a woman opposing military action presumably paid $1,000 for the privilege of yelling at him. >> none of this -- nobody announced a war, young lady. we appreciate your sentiment. you're jumping the gun a little bit there. >> reporter: the president's immediate challenge is monday's visit from israel's prime minister netanyahu. their ninth meeting, including a tenth oval office face-off last may, when netanyahu appeared to be lecturing the president. in canada today, the prime minister previewed the hard line he will present to the president, a demand iran shut down its nuclear program, which iran claims is peaceful. >> dismantle the underground nuclear facility an

in the mid atlantic, high pressure, a southerly flow around it. south winds really bumping up those temperatures come tomorrow, tuesday, and wednesday. as you are going to the bus stop, not as cold to start the monday. so just a light jacket needed. then warm for the afternoon. becoming mostly cloudy. we could have a late shower possible for monday night. i think in general the evening commute should be fine. get ready for the warm did you know. 70s on the way. you are going to like that seven-day forecast if you like the warmth. we start out sunny tomorrow morning. just a few clouds out there. it will be dry, then increasing clouds coming in from the west for the afternoon, becoming mostly cloudy again at night some showers are possible overnight as well. tuesday morning we should be getting a but -- we should be getting a front come through and the pattern sets up for the middle of the week. overnight, maybe just a one- blanket night as lows get down to the 40s. monday morning, not as cold, you will just need a light coat. temperatures starting

that is according to aaa mid- atlantic. the travel group says that number doesn't even include the tickets people did not pay. it's more than $12 million above the haul for fiscal year 2010 and it is an all time high for the district. just because those tickets are handed out doesn't mean everyone is guilty. there are problems in the system. system. >> when you go to court, about 50% of those cases are thrown out because of irregularity and that's why you have to watch -- irregularities and that's why you have to watch the situation like a hawk watching a chicken because you can be accused or charged for a violation you didn't have. >> now run later into the night which they used to which accounts for some of the gains and townsend said there are only 17,300 parking spaces in the district, but the city's population increased by 75% on workdays. >>> president obama's address at the american israel public affairs committee coffin, another big story tonight, with mounting -- conference, another big story tonight, with mounting
