rob and diana? scott. your heart has to go out to cate. they lost a brother, the family, at a very young age. then you lose your mother to cancer, who she was very, very close to. now your father is on trial, headed to jail. she's a harvard educated lawyer. and, obviously, she has probably a different appreciation for what's happening legally. but in terms of her personal life and what she's been through, what a tough spot to be in. to now have to go share that pain on the stand. >> publicly. and you know, a lot of people have said, why would she want to testify in this case? why has she been standing by her father? she said she's as much his daughter as she was her daughter. and so this -- she's just in a hard spot all around. and she's tried to remain strong but there was the one incident they had to leave the courtroom when they were talking about an emotional moment elizabeth had. >> surprising only one moment. if john edwards goes to jail, she becomes the legal guardian of her siblings. >> more

rob and diana? made that comment and shouted out, i'm for mitt romney as the elevator doors closed. so it wasn't a formal press conference and all this, but interesting, too, here. the gender gap. we talked about two or three weeks ago this huge gender gap between obama and romney. shocking some polls now have romney in the lead. the 20-point lead almost evaporated overnight. other polls suggest that independents and swing states are lukewarm, pretty evenly split on two key romney proposals. one, pretty heavy tax cuts and the repeal of obama care. both candidates trying to get some more solid footing with a plan that's going to get the majority of folks. neither guy is doing it so far. >> for those keeping track of how much more romney needs in order to get to the number he needs as far as delegates go, as far as nebraska, that was just a popularity contest and he doesn't pick up any delegates. but he did pick up 25 in oregon and has 171 more to go. >> and that magic number still 1,144. it's romney.

diana olick with that story from washington. diana. >> well, that's right, tyler. it's because they follow the yield on the 10-year treasury. it all goes together. so the mortgage bankers reporting average rates on the 30-year fixed at 4.01% last week. that's the lowest on that survey. on bankrate.com the overnight rate hit 3.87%. rock bottom rates are not juicing mortgage applications much. weekly applications up just 1.7% with refis up only 1.3%. purchase apps up over 3%, but down on a four-week average. now, the mortgage bankers say this year they expect the lowest volume of business in five years. that's thanks to a big drop in refis. offsetting low rates are higher fees. it's fha, big banks, you name it, it's all there. there has been a surge in refi demand recently thanks to new changes in a government program, but it still should be higher. for purchase apps, 32% of home sales this year were all cash, that according to a new report from realtors up from 29% in q-4 of last year. sue. >> diana, thank you very much. toyota's growth engine's firing on all cylind

diana: i think it's important to actually discuss it because, like you said, there are different things that you can do in order to promote safety such as carrying a flashlight, just being more careful, or trying to keep in the back of your mind, you know, when dusk is going to happen and try to get to your destination before then. narrator: where does usher syndrome come from? usher syndrome is always genetic. ushers is an inherited condition, not from one parent, but both. kimberling: the reason why it's this way is because it takes two for usher syndrome to happen. it takes a gene, a specific gene, coming from mom and one coming from dad, and they have to come together. the interesting consequence of that, since mom and dad have to be so-called carriers, is that you seldom see usher syndrome occurring in other family members. narrator: parents of deaf children are confronted with many choices regarding communication and education. some choose sign language, others an auditory/oral education, while others choose a combination of both. hearing aids and, more recently, cochlear implants

i don't think there was, even with all the focus there was upon the conduct of the media post diana's death, i don't think there was that political or public appetite. this inquiry is only happening because of the specific set of issues that led to it. these cultural issues have been underlying it for some time. both the media and politics have not really faced up to that. >> do you detect an appetite now to do that? >> no. if i'm being frank. i thought that -- i thought the michael grove speech to the parliamentary press gallery was part of a political strategy. i don't think that david cameron particularly wants to have to deal with this, i don't think he wants to set up the inquiry. he had to do it in the end. i think he'll be in a very -- i think it will be very difficult for him not to go along with whatever recommendations or at least a very large part of the recommendations, the inquiry produces. but i don't think there is much of an appetite. i hope there is some appetite for the sort of cross-party approach you were talking about with augusta o'donnell earlier. but i wouldn't

our diana olick joins us from atlanta on where and how to get in and when.diana. >> that's right, tyler. they're calling atlanta the phoenix of the east. much of the housing market here in severe distress. but is it really all that bad, or does it present a huge opportunity? take a look at the numbers if you will. home prices in atlanta down 17% annually on the s&p sheller home index. compare that to other cities that were like atlanta, that is they didn't see the huge boom and bust during the crash. now their house prices are stabilizing, not so much here. so what happened? 25% of the jobs lost in atlanta during the recession were real estate-related. that is sales, mortgages, construction. whereas 100,000 people moved here in 2006, just 17,000 did in 2009 that according to the census. foreclosures surged with now a full year supply of bank-owned homes, according to realty track, so why is now the time to get in? home prices are now half -- half of replacement costs. and atlanta is getting back on its feet. >> we just generated 68,000 jobs between january 1
