they actually liked erickson. the people who tended to oppose him were people like this, jennifers, young officers, highly trained in engineering, very similar with steam engineering. they called them the steam generation of officers. in fact jennifers wasjennifers of the dahlgren who designed the monitor's guns, became the first head of the technical organizations in the navy. and this generational conflict was not the radical lone inventor versus the old fogies in the navy. there was a lot more going on there about the technology. similarly, and we saw a few of these today. this was an illustration from harpers about life inside the monitor. it looks a whole lot more spacious and comfortable. it looks as though you might as well have a gymnasium here and a beautiful galley here and the lovely ward room, which actually was pretty lovely. that's the one part of it that may be accurate, although not quite that big, and everybody enjoying a grand time below decks. looking again at the cross section, all these questi

markham erickson is the director of the internet coalition. mr. erickson, can you explain what google did to change its privacy policy and wide? >> google announced about six weeks ago that it was preparing to change its privacy policy. the first time a company that size has given that much time and engagement in that education campaign. what they did is they took privacy policies -- diverse privacy policies that apply to 70 some products that google provides. they consolidated them into one single privacy policy that was uniform across all of those products. >> what is the benefit to google in doing this? >> the benefit to google is first of all, you only have to manage one privacy policy. they would also say that they are able to provide more targeted services -- more useful services as to their users. for instance, if you are using their gmail product and you are inviting people to a party that they may know who some of your friends are based on your interactions on google's social network and suggestions you might want to invite, and they're a

."" >> 45-year-old charlotte erickson from nina, arkansas lost 250 lbs.a look at her amazing story. >> my name is charlotte erickson. i'm 45 years old and i lost 250 pounds. i grew up in a family where we all had weight issues. but i loved food more than anyone else. as i got older, i would eat from the minute i woke up until i went to bed. my meals consisted of sugar, carbohydrates, and sodas. i would super size everything and polish off not only my share, but my daughter's share, too. in life, i was successful in any almost i put my mind to. i graduated from nursing school and raised four kids as a single mom. but the only thing i couldn't do on my own was lose the weight. at one point, the scale tipped to 400 pounds. even the size 5x clothing was too tight. i decided to give weight watchers another try. i had been on and off of it for a while, but this time i took it seriously. i learned about portion control and i would track my food every day. then i started moving. first around the block, then on the treadmill, and last month i completed a half mara

this is, again, this is actually from erickson's contributions to the centennial exhibition, but onert of iconic drawings of the ship. very geometric, very clean, very lacking in human dimensions as it is john ericsson's imagination. and that was how the story had come down. and i got interested in other parts of the story. and, you know, in a funny way, thinking about it in the last couple of weeks, the last really major scholarly statement on the "monitor" i think had been 1933 when james finney baxter wrote his classic "the introduction of the ironclad warship." which still remains a great book to read. maybe bernard brody in 1941. i'm actually forgetting. "power in the age of steam," i think. and there had been interesting forays through the '70s. jim delgado who is around today had written some nice stuff. bill still had written a couple of pieces on the captains and the builders of the "monitor." a lot of teasers, but very little kind of re-evaluation of what was this ship, what did it mean in the history of technology, in the field of the history of technology, which i'm notio

lanae erickson, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> now it's fascinating about thisole, as opposed to the ordinary, you are going to vote for the president or governor romney, you really drill down on what people are most going to be persuaded by, and you determined it's opportunity, not fairness. first of all, how did you do that? and why is that your conclusion? >> you know, when you ask these swing independent, as you laid out, the cruel group of 40% of independent who are really still in play for this election when you ask them what they're worried about for the future what they are concerned about, what they are angry about, the things that really resonate are their concerns for the future, the american economy, our ability to compete in the global marketplace, and the future of the next generation's ability to get good jobs. only eight % said that they were strongly confident that the next generation could get good jobs. so far above things like wall street bail-outs or the wealthiest paying too low a tax rate. those were the things that really concerned them a

joining me now, cnn contributor e erick erickson and democratic strategist and political contributorbrasile. last time, mitt romney got a lot of grief after he said he hunted varmints, so called. he didn't make one personal comment in the whole speech. do you think that's a better approach? >> i think he probably wants to keep the personal out of it. every time he's tried to relate anecdotes about himself and guns it hadn't come off very well for him. he has these issues. barack obama has the national security issues from when he campaigned to close guantanamo bay and it's still opened. they are both going bob held accountable and that's what's going to make this campaign so found for both sides. >> romney only mentioned guns one time but mentioned president obama's name at least 25 times. is it safe to say romney's team is basically on the offensive now? >> absolutely not. mitt romney is running as fast as he possibly can from his previous record. not only on guns, but just about, you name the topic and i can show you clips as you just showed us. mitt romney previous support for pla

in correspondence leading up to the publication of these articles, erickson, who never admitted that the battle with the monitor -- with the virginia was anything but a complete and total victory finally admitted that maybe the monitor had failed in its mission and placed the blame entirely on samuel dana greene, who by the way he also blamed for the sinking. and so the ambiguity of the outcome of the battle and the various issues and questions around the crew's roles were deeply, deeply held for people for as much as 20 years. in fact, the modern history of the monitor as we know it really emerged in the 1880s, much more than in the 1860s. most people didn't really want to talk about the civil war. it's well-known among historians, as is true for most wars, there is a period of silence after the war, and it takes a couple of decades for people to really discuss the more difficult issues. and the monitor that we know of very much stemming from the set of articles published in century magazine in 1883 is a product of the 1880s. interestingly, after he did that, and after his suicide,

joining me now is cnn contributor paul begala, hilary rosen and eric erickson.aul, the president's campaign manager is sending a message calling mitt romney the most anti-woman candidate in a generation. he's so anti-women he spent a whole day focused on them. is that really going to sway any votes? >> i think they need to take it to issues and i think they can make the case. the governor -- governor romney has said that he wants to, his quote, get rid of planned parenthood. later he said i just mean the funding. well, you get rid of the funding, you get rid of a lot of planned parenthood clinics. he wants to abolish what's called title 10, birth control that the federal government pays for for underprivileged women. it saves lives. it saves money. it was created by george h.w. bush, when he was a congressman, signed into law by richard nixon. it used to be a republican deal. that's a very extreme position. i don't know if a major political candidate, certainly not a nominee or a likely one, in 40 years who has ever called for doing away with all of the governme
