brooke, thank you for doing this book. i am a retired english teacher, and i taught in california public schools, so i know about a multicultural classroom. i also recognize that when the -- [inaudible] is expected in the classroom, kids have an easier time to learn. my question for you is this, did you find in the schools in new york that students from the english-speaking caribbean who speak a kind of dialect were regarded as, um, positive students of the school? did you meet any of those students? >> guest: as, as what kind of students at the school? >> host: mindy, we didn't quite catch that. >> caller: oh, the students from the english-speaking caribbean who speak a dialect of english. >> host: a dialect of english. >> guest: a dialect. >> caller: were there any at your school? an english creole. >> guest: oh, yeah. well, there were kids -- a creole of english? the one that comes to mind, of course this area of brooklyn is full of people from the caribbean, but when you say a creole of english, the one that comes to m

brooke? >> given all that the judge said to him today, casey, this blistering verbal attack that you described, what was the reaction in the courtroom to that? >> reporter: while the verbal attack -- while the judge was delivering his reasons for sentencing him to maximum, there wasn't much of a reaction. but right after the judge said there was a maximum sentence, i turned around behind me and looked at the jackson family. la toya jackson was smiling broadly. jermaine jackson had his head bowed and was nodding silently to himself. but i do want to point out that as dr. conrad murray entered the courtroom before he was sentenced, his girl frenltd, nicole alvarez, blew him a loud kiss and then he blew a kiss back to all of his supporters, brooke. >> okay. casey wian in california. >>> next with reporter roulette, let's go to jim clancy just above the banks in egypt. i understand over the course of the next hour you have witnessed this spasm of violence in cairo. if you can, tell me a little bi

brooke? >> big topic, you mentioned, super committee.u have -- did i hear you have norquist on the show? >> yes. arguably one of the most powerful guys in washington. a lot of republicans, handful of democrats, but mostly republicans, saying no new taxes. one of the reasons the super committee deal may be off, and it looks like it is, is because the republicans didn't want to increase taxes. democrats wanted to increase taxes, especially on the wealthy and big corporations. that didn't happen and apparently they are -- i guess they're just starting all over again. we will see what happens. lots of new stuff, lots to digest and grover norquist will be here live in the situation room at constitution hall. he is coming over here. >> all right. good deal. wolf blitzer thank you again. wolf is there at constitution hall. that is the home of tomorrow night's gop presidential debate. tomorrow night, only here on cnn. >>> up next, michelle obama booed. >> they were doing something good. >> okay, so why did we just show you chad myers? >> the for

brooke? >> thank you so much. >>> next, oakland, california we find dan simon covering the occupy wall street movement there clearly, dan, re-energized, the last week, images, police very aggressive against demonstrators. today the aim is shutting down the city is that right? >> we are here at to oakland city hall, a very large crowd, peace solve far, taken on a bit of the party atmosphere, these tent a thursday seeing right here, swept away about a week ago now, they have reappeared, constituent reversed itself, said the pro-ders stay. one thing that's pretty interesting is they have told people if you are a parent, you can come down here and bring your children. you can see there is a bit of a play area set up for parents to spend time with their children but come to become me for a second because the message of what this day is really encap tull lated with sign. foreclose the 1%. okay pit banks. we demand an end to racist profiteering off foreclosure, immigrant detention and dirty energy t

brooke? >> and then, woke up, read a bunch of articles, obviously, groupon, news about groupon everywhere, 700 million in this massive ipo? how are their shares doing today? >> reporter: you know what's interesting, groupon $20 a shake up to about $28. you know, nothing huge when you compare it to how other recent ipos have done. you know, i don't think this one has really generated the excitement that a lot of people thought it would. still, the ipo raised 700 million bucks, the second biggest tech ipo ever behind google. still, we have got all right of questions hoo these new tech companies going public, especially if this tough environment, talking about the economy. you know, like linked done in and pandora made a splash and came down a bit. with groupon specifically they going public at a time when they are not profitable. so groupon, lots of questions their business model at this point, brooke. and just one thing to mention, i think you may have mentioned this today as well. >> yeah. >>

>> not only is it unusual, it's extraordinary, brooke.ot show up to any court proceeding and then only have to pay money if he failed to show up. i mean, typically with child sex abuse cases like this -- i mean, these allegations are so significant -- not only are folks usually not even allowed out because the standard is whether or not they're a threat to the community, if they are allowed bail, it's typically very high, brooke, also there's some sort of monitoring equipment placed on the person. there are all these restraints. they're not allowed to see or live near children, they're not aallowed to be alone with children. so it's quite xrord naeextraord was let out on bail with only $100,000 and unsecured $100,000. very, very unusual and in my view -- i mean, i was a former -- i'm a former child sex crimes prosecutor. i just have never seen anything like this, given the allegations. i've never seen a judge release someone on this type of bail. it's extraordinary. >> so you have that extraordinary piece of the story. then you also have

why is that. >> that's an understatement, brooke. they've had obviously very rocky moments, most especially earlier this year with the raid to kill osama bin laden. look, pakistan is important for the war effort in afghanistan. pakistan also has between 70 and 90 nuclear war heads, a strong nuclear power that the u.s. needs to engage. and, on the other side, the u.s. provides billions of dollars in aid to pakistan. so there are elements there that suggest the relationship will find a way to continue. >> chris lawrence at the poent gone, thank you. >>> and finally here on reporter roulette, chad myers with talk of rain. it's been a nasty day in atlanta. and possible snow in the southeast? >> yes. tonight. the good news is everyone has some leftovers. you don't have to go to the store. you don't have to go get bread or milk. >> speak for yourself, friend. i ate all of mine. >> it's only a three-hour event. you can live three hours without new bread. western tennessee, northern misses miss and northern alabama, big snow. could be four t

brooke? >> alison, a lot of people are shopping over the next course of the few days. someone may be watching and who is that someone and how are they watching us, based upon our cell phones? >> well, yes. you're talking about big brother. the mall is going to be watching you. particularly, two malls. temecula and here is how it will work. it's going to want to track how people go through the mall and what stores they go through. if they go from nordstrom to starbuck, the idea is that they have coffee after leaving after that store. or how long do they linger at victoria's secret? what is unpopular. the company that makes this tracking equipment says what it winds up doing is helping stores improve the shopping experience. now, keep in mind no personal data will be collected. let's say that they would know that allison is buying a dress. it would be the anonymous data. if you're still worried about it, you have an option to opt out by turning your phone off when you walk into the store. brook

>> no. >> i think you are lying. >> brooke you are a lawyerish. how could the judge let this suit go forward? >> i don't know. i love judicial creativity, guy would have had a decent case if the statute out of limitations had not run out. they have to sue within six years and it has been, what, nine years? >> there is something obviously wrong with him. >> yes. there some -- there is absolutely something wrong with him. what you said about the judge -- if there was ever a perfect case for the need for tort reform and these stupid cases getting thrown out, this is one of them. if he wanted to -- say he just wants to sue the photograph -- the photographers, fine, there is maybe a case on the narrow means. but for trying to get $40,000 or $50,000 to recreate the wedding, why not hire a digital artist and take the pictures, photo shop and they can -- they will look great. you can do anything with computers. >> but then we won't have a story. think about "red eye" first. >> i think the photographer has failed to take important moments like the toast. >

. >> reporter: the heart family had always owned the store by 1933 young brook heart 22 years old and just graduated from the university of santa clara was poised to take over the store from his father. minutes before closing time, brook heart left the department store and walked a short distance to his car. his kidnappers would be the last people to see him alive. >> this is the great gangster era of the 30s and the great terrorists crimes or fashion in that time was kidnapping for ransom. >> howard thermon was described by those who knew him as slow whited. he became friends with jack holmes. together they would plan and carry out the kidnap and murder of brook heart. >> they did this for the money. they murdered him immediately and then asked for the money because they weren't going to have him around to identify them. >> brooks had waited for heart to leave the store. he forced him to drive his car to milpitas. using another car they drove over the san mateo bridge. they placed weights around heart, hit him until unconsciousness and threw him in. james and thurmo began bombarding

>> no, it doesn't, brooke.e remember over the course of those four weeks the state of california entered over 200 pieces of evidence. so that jury took it seriously. the judge gave them a copy of the law printed out, and remember one of the very first things they asked for on friday was highlighters. we know they're not allowed to write on the evidence so what could they have been highlighting? they were highlighting the law. that's what we can assume from that. they're got the jury packet. they're looking at the law and those 250 pieces of evidence and they're saying, how does that evidence line up with what he's been charged with. so it's not a long time considering all the scientific testimony we heard. i think it's just about right, given the one count, and a very serious jury who everybody that's been covering this in the courtroom has told us they are taking copious notes from beginning to end. so that's what they did. they went back through their notes if there was a question, hey, i wrote this down, wha

, you need to get down. >> no. >> come here, brooke. >> reporter: and foster parents who want to help soon learn that if they don't give medications, the child would be taken away. >> no one said the medications could be causing the problem. they were saying she needs more. >> reporter: in brooke's case, one doctor, a psychiatrist, recognized the problem. and brooke went from this, being weaned off the strongest medications, to this. >> no adult should be receiving the drugs of that different variety. certainly not at thesages. >> reporter: delaware senator tom krarper is holding a congressional hearing tomorrow demanding changes in the foster care system in this country. parallel to the year-long abc news investigation, the gao report, which found, in some cases, psycho tropic drugs were given to inplants, though there's no idea of the long-term effects on a child's brain. and the report found in five statements alone, out of 100,000 foster kids, 26,000 were on some form of psychotropic drugs. how is it happening? >> when you don't have the time, the quick rush to judgment is, the an

>> hi, brooke, yes.y do not know what happened. but what they do believe is that the firm, mf global was using some of those funds when they couldn't find their own money to use or they were running out of their own money and they tapped into their client's funds which is a big no-no on wall street. they seem to have done that. there seems to be some kind of confirmation, everything anonymous and everything off the record. that seems to be the record. >> i want to talk about this wall street no-no. this is mf global and one of the main questions is did they mix their investors' money with the company's money which is a tentative wall street never, ever to do. >> you raised a the lof issues. first of all, the cme, the exchange or one of them on which they operated, the cme said that they already did mix the money. there was a report citing an official saying that they ran out of money and tapped into the funds. at the same time, this raises the broker rule, which is about separating commercial and investm

>> reporter: hi, brooke. this is a huge case in venezuela. according to preliminary reports, two armed men actually stormed his house in valencia, venezuela. neighbors tell local media that a gunmen were there. they we they were around his house before they went in and they said they threatened to kill him. you know this is a very common case in that country. kidnappings have been rising in the country but this is the first time that happened to a baseball player. brooke? >> what about the washington nationals? his team near d.c. have they released any kind of statement? >> reporter: yes, absolutely. i will read it. it says our foremost concern is with wilson ramos and his family and our thoughts are with them at this time. major league baseball's department of investigation is working with the appropriate authorities this matter. both major league baseball and the washington nationals have been instructed to make no further comment. now, brooke, you could be asking yourself, what is the u.s. going to do about this? the answer to that questio

. >> la familia de brooke de 31 años entabló demanda legal por presunta muerte de homicidio culposo.te los siguientes dos días y que cuando intentaban comunicarlo a la clínica. lo hacían esperar, se desconectaban las llamadas. >> Él murió de peritonitis además de enfermedad cardíaca hipertensiva. >> hemos tratado de comunicarnos con los médicos sin ningún resultado. >> este grupo era objeto de un reporte, abogado de la familia brooks. >> representa al número pero no a los médicos ni a la clíncia. >> el exámen médico es crítico de la esposa, ella dejó a su esposo todo el fin de semana sin recibnir atención médica, pero después de que él murió de repente ella dice que llamó al doctor pero no hay récord de que lo haya llamado. el licenciado representa al centro y nos envió un comunicado en que éste es un gran prodecimiento que ha ayudado a miles de personas. a todo esto la esposa de brook tiene una meta. >> quisiera que la gente obtuviera más información antes de permitir que cualquier los opere, consulte su médico y que él los aconsej. >> no creo que haya algo equivocado, lo que estamo

ron brooks this time. >> gary: brooks was the star of the game when mathieu was suspended. he lines up in that spot, in their odd defense, right there, and he blitzes. that thing wasn't going anywhere anyway. no one blocked up front. offensive line, alabama are making some run plays but l.s.u., it is a physical football game here. >> verne: now it's third and 20 after the losses in the last two. darius hanks comes in motion near side. mccarron has it. blitz from the corner. it's brooks. they've got the little screen set. that's trent richardson. >> gary: how about that. pretty close. >> verne: yeah. he had a long, long way to travel. he gained 18. >> gary: they're going to let him come this time, dump it off. alabama is has always been a good screen team, but this will be too big of a gamble. you've got to punt the ball. >> verne: cody mandell will punt it. odell beckham, number 33, is back to return it. only the second punt tonight, and it comes with less than five minutes remaining. >> verne: beckham. at the nine. flag is down. and a player is down as well. that's kirkpat

also, brooke, people typically drive less in the winter so less demand for gas. brooke? >> second question, we mentioned facebook. i think i have seen some of this on my own cnn account. what's going on? >> yes. yeah. that's what i was going on what is woundering with all this porn and all these violent pictures in my news feed. yeah. these are all splashed across many facebook users' news fidels. you know, friends probably didn't realize what is happening. here is what facebook says, it says there was a coordinated spam attack that caused the porn and violent images to show up and that users were somehow tricked into copying malicious codes into their browser bars and that allowed hackers to access their accounts. though facebook does say none of their data or accounts were compromised during the attack, facebook is saying it is working to identify and shut down the accounts that were responsible but there is a lesson here for all of us, brooke who use facebook, never cop pand paste an unknown link into your address bar. >> never, never, never. >> that is how this whole

ron brooks this time. >> gary: brooks was the star of the game when mathieu was suspended. he lines up in that spot, in their odd defense, right there, and he blitzes. that thing wasn't going anywhere anyway. no one blocked up front. offensive line, alabama are making some run plays but l.s.u., it is a physical football game here. >> verne: now it's third and 20 after the losses in the last two. darius hanks comes in motion near side. mccarron has it. blitz from the corner. it's brooks. they've got the little screen set. that's trent richardson. >> gary: how about that. pretty close. >> verne: yeah. he had a long, long way to travel. he gained 18. >> gary: they're going to let him come this time, dump it off. alabama is has always been a good screen team, but this will be too big of a gamble. you've got to punt the ball. >> verne: cody mandell will punt it. odell beckham, number 33, is back to return it. only the second punt tonight, and it comes with less than five minutes remaining. >> verne: beckham. at the nine. flag is down. and a player is down as well. that's kirkpat

brooke? and basically what happened was we were all set to go to this press conference and then all of a sudden it was called off. joe paterno said that he wanted to speak out but that he was overruled by highers up here at penn state. brooke? >> let's work on getting whatever you just read off the plaq plackard. >> jason carroll, my thanks to you on that one. next, let's go to barbara starr. we are hearing accusations about the handling of military replains replain mains. >> this is not a story thaw want to report but it's important for people to know the air force coming up in public saying that a year-long investigation is concluded into allegations into misconduct, wrong behavior at the mortuary where the remains of the nation's war dead have been returned for so many years. there have been a number of cases that they have detailed in very lengthy reports. calling it gross mismanagement. some of it involved remains of the war dead being misplaced. we are talking about body parts like ankl

brooke? >> kareen wynter in los angeles. thank you. >>> you're going to hear directly from the captain who says robert wagner is in fact responsible for natalie wood's death. >>> next on "reporter roulette," a public water line hit by a sib better attack. brian todd is following the story from washington. brian, what happened? what do you know? >> brooke, we know that there are documents that indicate that it was an attack but the department of homeland security is not going that far yet. they say it was definitely a failure of a waterpump and the department is saying right now they don't want to go so far as to say that this was a cyber attack but joe weiss, who was a credit nl expert, said that he got these documents from the government and a water district employee noticed problems with the control system at a water facility. and weiss said that they traceded it i.p. address to an address in russia. there is a dhs statement that they sent us a short time ago saying dhs and the fbi are gathering facts surrounding the porta

brooke? >> yeah, i don't know. alison kosik, thank you. >>> never on "reporter roulette," weather is throwing a wrench in your thanksgiving plans. airport issues tonight, chad? >> right. atlanta certainly here. we have all of these storms back into parts of mississippi, alabama, moving up to montgomery, even into birmingham right there. all of the weather will slow down. this is the get away day for people that don't want to try to deal with tomorrow. and i think we probably are going to have a little bit of slow get away in some spots. a few of the storms have been rotating earlier today. it's all part of the same system that brought pictures like this from little rock, arkansas, over the weekend where it rained over six inches in less than 12 hours, water came up, couldn't go away. saturated ground for a change in the forecast there, which had been so very dry for most of the year. let's go back to the maps here. we have a lot of snow event here for seattle. all the way down to portland. this is going to be rain

let's go back to brooke in the cnn center. brooke, pick it up.'t know what to say. >> not a dull monday, wolf blitzer. we'll be talking, i'm sure, a little bit later. >>> hello, welcome back to "cnn newsroom". i'm brooke baldwin. as wolf mentioned we'll have much more on what you just saw in new york with herman cain, accuser story, allegedly this fourth woman coming forward, sharing her story, also a sex abuse case unfolding in pennsylvania at penn state. but i want to begin with the breaking news as we have now just learned the jury in los angeles has now reached a verdict in the michael jackson dr. murray involuntary manslaughter trial. let's go to ted rowlands outside the courtroom. ted, when with might we know the verdict? >> reporter: well, we'll likely find out at 1:00 pacific time, so 4:00 eastern time, the target time. i just talked to a source close to the defense and they say they have received a call from the court and they have been told that the verdict will be read at w 1:00 pacific time. i also talked with someone with dr. conrad

hour two, i'm brooke baldwin. here's what we're watching for you. first the dow goes up, way up today. the syracuse basketball program under the microscope. and who is getting the wintry mix today. >>> alison kosik, let's begin with you on the floor. there she is on the floor of the new york stock exchange. huge gains. huge gains for wall street after the fed's massive intervention in europe. >> and not just the fed. we're talking about five other central banks. everybody pretty much getting together, brooke, and agreeing to be kind of a safety net to keep the problems that are happening in europe from getting worse. so what these essential banks said were that, you know, they are going to make it cheaper and easier for banks to loan money and to borrow money with the idea that the banks would go out and extend credit lines to businesses and to consumers. it's essentially the goal of trying to get more money to start circulating in these world economies. as you can see, clearly with the dow up, the market loves this kind of support. but if you look

brooks will be there with or without his helmet, bloody or not.howed no fear on this play against cleavland. he gets his helmet ripped off his head. brooks ended up bloody, but he made the play and that's the stuff that pumps up coach jim harbaugh. >> loved it, loved it. we got a great picture of it in our team room now. doesn't even have his eyes closed. most guys would close his eyes without a helmet and making that tackle, but not brooks. >> there is no doubt kelly slater is one of the greatest to ever jump on a surfboard. slater captured his 11th world title at ocean beach in san francisco. what is remarkable about slater's career is he was the youngest world champ ever in 1992. then he was age 20. and now he is the oldest ever at age 39, after winning his heat in the rip curl pro, he received a hero's welcome with another title under his belt. slater can finally relax a little bit. >> it hasn't really sunk in. i have been pretty stressed to be honest with you. i am just glad it is over. it was very fulfilling, and just personal satisfaction.

brooke?ighting continuing for that long, is there a unified voice coming from these people, the protesters? and are the authorities acting as if they even know what the heck they are doing? >> well, there is no single voice coming from the square and that's how it was back during the revolution. they scorned leaders. they wanted everybody to speak for themselves and sent a very unified message. in this case, they are calling for the supreme council of the supreme forces to stand down. on the other side, the messages are very mixed. the army seems to be distancing itself from the interior ministry, which is the ministry that organizes the riot police and the security forces that we've seen. the army came out with a statement saying, they had fired no tear gas at the protesters. whether or not that's true or not, it's the message that they are sending. it's them, the interior forces, causing the deaths and 3500 injuries. it's not the army. brooke? >> ben, if you can hear me over the sirens, my

>> really, brooke, in a word, disgust. and that was the exact word from students that i had a chance to talk to. couldn't believe that he was justifying, as you just heard, showering with kids. again, using the term horsing around. so these kids just shell shocked. and i'll say this as well and it's part of the story. it was hard to get them to talk. they are weary of what is going on here. the ones that did talk, disgust was the word. >> but then also, mike, shock over how sandusky allowed him to speak and do you know why he did that? >> reporter: you know, and we don't specifically but you can kind of gather, brooke, that they are building this refrain. and, again, it's using this term horsing around with kids in the shower. i know it's appalling to so many viewers. but here is the attorney for jerry sandusky. >> jerry sandusky is a big overgrown kid. he's a jock. for anybody who has ever played sports, you get showers after you work out. when people hear that he got showers with kids, oh, my goodness. he got showers wit

brooks will be there with or without his helmet, bloody or not.howed no fear on this play against cleavland. he gets his helmet ripped off his head. brooks ended up bloody, but he made the play and that's the stuff that pumps up coach jim harbaugh. >> loved it, loved it. we got a great picture of it in our team room now. doesn't even have his eyes closed. most guys would close his eyes without a helmet and making that tackle, but not brooks. >> there is no doubt kelly slater is one of the greatest to ever jump on a surfboard. slater captured his 11th world title at ocean beach in san francisco. what is remarkable about slater's career is he was the youngest world champ ever in 1992. then he was age 20. and now he is the oldest ever at age 39, after winning his heat in the rip curl pro, he received a hero's welcome with another title under his belt. slater can finally relax a little bit. >> it hasn't really sunk in. i have been pretty stressed to be honest with you. i am just glad it is over. it was very fulfilling, and just personal satisfaction.

brooke?t returned from a trip to iran. i want to ask him to weigh in on this and get obviously to his education special this had upcoming weekend. >>> also, have you seen these pictures? that's rhino about to be blindfolded, here he is, upside down, being rescued. we are going to tell you the story behind these photographs. look at this. next. -pced medicare prescription drug plan. ♪ with the lowest national plan premium... ♪ ...and copays as low as one dollar... ♪ ...saving on medicare prescriptions is easy. ♪ so you're free to focus on the things that really matter. call humana at 1-800-808-4003. or go to walmart.com for details. >>> how do you move a two-ton rhino? i will show you pictures. when i saw this image, i might mite have yelled out fake. this it is not a fake picture, folks. this is one of 19 endangered black rhinos, all part of an effort to protect them from poaching and increase their population. the lift was organized by conservationsists at the world wildlife fund which provi

dionne and david brooks on the penn state scandal.bout are reporting laws. most states require anybody who finds out about a sexual crime to report it to the police or department of child services. in this case, if you were in joe paterno's case, all you have to do is go up to the head of your department, and it's their responsibility. and we all know, i mean, in this situation, there was nobody more powerful than joe paterno. not the president of the university was more powerful than him. is this the script you're talking about, in part? more robust state law? >> well, thing they obviously need to make the law more robust, but we can't rely on law and rules. it's up to personal discretion. we've taken a lot of moral decisions and tried to make them all legal-based. but there has to be a sense of personal responsibility regardless of what the rules are, here's what you do to stop it. if you try to make everything a matter of legalism and rules, you're going to get people doing the minimal and thinking it's not my responsibility, it's
