"your bottom line" starts right now. >>> times could soon be changing in your life. good morning, everyone. i'm christine romans. this may be your year to move up or move out of your job into something better. we're going to tell you how. plus, they served their country and now they're coming home. we'll look at the job challenges and opportunities many veterans face. and the great prepaid debit card debate from russell simmons to suze orman, the good, bad and ugly of the celebrity branded cards. we begin with jobs and how to get big business to make more of them. to hear the corporate members of the president's jobs council explain it, the problem is not creating jobs, it's creating qualified workers. ge's ceo jeff immelt who runs the council for the president told him his week, again, there is no silver bullet to create jobs now. and at the white house, executives worried about the quality of america's work force. >> we're desperate trying to hire more people but it has to be people who have the technical skills to meet the jobs we need and it gets harder and harde

it will take a lot of work to get down to the bottom of the well safely. we also have confirmed that alexandria police department is out here. we are trying to find out if indeed this case is tied to a case in alexandria. it is still very early in this investigation. prince george's county police spokesperson said they are going to have a team of people out here tomorrow to survey the ground looking around for any sort of evidence or clues. that would not release any more information about that call that came in only that they said there was a body at the bottom of a well. they said they will be back here all day tomorrow as they try to determine exactly what they are dealing with. it will be along not for investigators. as soon as we get more investigate -- more information we will bring it to you. >> our other big story tonight a guilty plea for the man accused of shooting at a number of military facilities around our area. >> there is video of not an polanco -- crimes against the federal government will send him to prison for a quarter-century. >> the j

that's the whole issue there. >> bottom line, ryan, round it out for us. to not get into debt and you want to be a responsible user of a card, what is it that you should be using? >> well, essentially you should go with a website like smarterchoice.org and put your zip code in. join banks where you have a know credit fee or go to annualcreditreport.com and get your credit report and start to establish a history. >> i can see you guys feel strongly about prepaid cards, all of them in general. thanks, guys. >>> here's the bottom line with prepaid debit cards. be wary of them. they're useful if you want to give them to a collegebound kid, although ryan said he wouldn't give them to a college-bound kid but maybe a gift card or cash. there's a long list of fees that could cost you way too much. you may get charged for checking your balance. there are often fewer protections than a debit card or credit card when you view it. listen to how "time" magazine boils it down. consumers who use prepaid debit cards as a substitute for mainstream financial products are re

here is bottom line. keep your eyes open next week because there is a lot of earnings to keep track of. unlike so much of last year when europe was in control, results actually matter now. to me that's plain wonderful. john in my home state of new jersey. >> caller: super boo-yah, jim cramer. >> the giants, the giants are going to win. go ahead. >> caller: i'm happy than. my question is about 113 communications. first they had a reverse split to 28. then they dropped to 40% to trade between 17 and 19. >> then defense department budget cuts will likely hurt them further. jim, is this really a dollar stock headed towards becoming a penny stock? >> johnny, this is lvlt. it's not really a defense play, it's a play on like alkamai. i don't think it's doing that well. i want to know if it's cash flow positive at some point. that's what i'm looking for. next week a lot of earnings and this year i'm actually looking forward to them. they matter. europe isn't in control. and you know what? that is real promising.

that is the bottom line. look at these temperatures.he numbers have been slow to budge all weekend long. right now, we are up to 33 degrees. that is a good sign. 36 at patuxent naval air station and 44 in ocean city. so parts of the area now definitely in the clear. that being said, you can see much of the region still at or below freezing. in some ways, the very light mist and fog is worse than a steady rain when temperatures are below freezing. because the steady rain will run off. the light mist or fog will adhere to the surface of the earth as it reaches the ground. 30 at dulles. 32 in winchester. we've had a freezing rain advisory which continues until 9:00 a.m. for the immediate washington area until 11:00 a.m. for our counties off to the north and the west. there is your forecast for today. we're in the mid-40s and we'll have showers around here this afternoon as we get a frontal system moving in from the west. things will get better again as we get through the course of the morning. >> thank you. >>> let's check in with julie wr

. >> madam chair, and members of the committee, on the bottom of page 4 we note the human services agent budget currently includes $327,000 in this gift fund from the hospital council, and includes four positions that were listed on the bottom of page 4 of the report. these positions are budgeted for a total cost of $307,000, although the funding in the positions are included in the budget. the department advises today the public guardian has not collected any additional revenues from the hospital council, so none of these positions have been filled as of today. we recommend you approve the proposed ordinance. supervisor chiu: think you for the report. why don't we open this up for public comment. i want to recognize ron smith from the hospital council. and >> we are very concerned about patients that are lingering in our hospitals when that is not a good and healthy place for them to be. they are not getting the care they should have because of the delays in the research ship process. -- we server ship process. we estimated and a three-year time, it cost the city and our hospitals $26 m

and let us know that, in fact, the body was discovered at the bottom. they saying this is an arduous process and bringing the body up. this their is a danger going through this. the well may collapse. really on steady ground here as they try to install the body and bring it up right now. this information is coming in to us and we're hoping to get more about who the person might be, although i suspect that that is going to be some time before they identify the remains there. i can tell you that alexand roar police have been on the -- alexander police are on the scene and we're hoping to learn that information as the night goes on. again, the process of removing the body from the bottom of the well is beginning right now. if you want to take a shot, a live shot of the scene, you might see officers, they set up their mobile crime units there and again, you're looking at it live now and there is a lot of officers, crime scene investigators on the scene and more continue to shine and that is what officials are working on. and they telling us that it's going

it has a business on the bottom and places on the upper floor. one went to the hospital and crews say there were high levels of carbon monoxide in several units there. >>> and now to a developing story in prince georges county. the police are working to retrieve a body out of a well and that is a dangerous recovery process. >> they found the remains in a well off of old fort road in fort washington. authorities say it could take several days to remove the body. it's at least 30 feet down. that is going to be a lot of work for them. we're told there are some concerns about the stability of the with well and that may have to be re-enforced before someone goes inside of it. >> this is a vacant home. the well is not far from the home, so there is the concern about shoring up the well properly and in case of collapse. >> alexandrea police have a high-profile missing person's case connected to the area. 53-year-old lenny harris disappeared in september. his car was found near fort washington. again, police are anticipating the recovery process and that

is that a good bottom line or bad bottom line? i don't know, i am asking. i was amazed at the behavior of some of the members. no need to get angry, it's a speech. republicans would not applaud the rebirth of the american automobile industry. >> in exchange for help we demanded responsibility. workers an automakers to settle their differences. we got the industry to retool and restructure. today, general motor is back on top as the world's number one automaker. >> did he say number one? you mean we're number one at something? the united states of america, we're not three, we're not two. we have a company that is number one, president obama didn't take credit for the automobile industry success. he used the word "we." but he has every right, i think, to take some credit. in february of 2009, here's another bottom line for you there, cantor. in february, 2009, 72% of the american public said that the united states should not give chrysler and general motors a loan. most of the people who are against it. but the president, well, he knew he had to do the right

>> the bottom line on your multiple questions. let me start first with the rationale. it was our expectation, our hope certainly, that the advantages that a global hawk-like platform provides which we anticipated both would be cost of operation on the one hand and clearly persistence on the other, would play out in practice. the reality is that the global hawk system has proven not to be less expensive to operate than the u 2. in many respects the global hawk block 30 system is not as capable from a center point of view as the u 2. so we had made the choice as the deputy secretary mentioned yesterday to cancel the block 30 program. and the disposition of the aircraft is not yet finalized but it would be my expectation that we would place these assets into storage, usable storage for future possibilities, whatever they might be. importantly, we will retain the block 20 and the block 40 capabilities. and so we will use the global hawk to its best effect but the bottom line is that the delta between the global hawk and the u 2 was not sufficient in order to retain both fo

line, but help your bottom line in the process ever doing it. the vote from that was a 520-0 vote from the perspective of the congress. clearly, this is a non-political issue. this is an american issue. while that policy piece as well is in place, also several other enablers that are helpful. i think secretary solis has talked about publicly the gold card. this is, a one stop -- department of labor one stops throughout the country, the veteran gold card is available to every post-9/11 veteran in the united states of america, and it gives priority counseling, resume building, skill translation services, to help take sergeant cooper and introduce him to the private sector in a meaningful way and put him or her at the top of the cube to find meaningful employment. i would also ask you to spread that word. the department of labor is deeply involved and has a great opportunity in terms of counseling and resume building and resume writing and skills translation. in a very personal way, and matching. to be able who with a need for a job and unemployed
