three time champion and this year's runner up garry hunt the brooklyn bridge has been and probably still will be suited to stuff with rival in the upcoming seasons . but gary is smaller lighter and faster it gives him some advantages as he can do more somersaults and twists although in the first two dives it's the clearance and trajectory that matter. as most first where i compete him plus my trademark an armed standoff with a blind entry is considered in judged as one of the most difficult dives and i'm going to keep on following choosing it for next season. by doubling from twenty seven mirrors and the nominal intense four seconds it all takes outstanding body and mind control these guys seem capable of out of this world things but they're still human. i think it's actually brave men who aren't afraid to say they're scared because it's true fear is always with us when we dive of course is a bit tougher at the beginning of the season after having several months off you have to get used to that high once again and your body in mind worked better from dive to dive. and even after becoming

it doesn't count garry kubiak with a head start on the coaches. they talked to him a couple of weeks ago. they'll be back next season, he's probably going have his pick of jobs among the seven teams or among some of them, and they'll fire the coach after the season. >> mike shanahan wants out of washington. it will cost of the owner $13 million. there's a play going on. i talked to shanahan. i asked if he thought about his job future. he'll sit with dan schneider and figure out where to go. >> one other note concerning the play-offs, there are two win or go home games. the winner between the cowboys and eels and the winner between the bears and the packers claim the north title. it will be a huge day for n.f.l. fans across the country. >> still ahead - hollywood thriller gets rave re views from critics, but not the new jersey native american tribe it portrays. plus... . >> i don't know about you, but my high school campus was not like this. i introduce you to a school for aviation next. tv >> a hollywood thriller set in the mountains of new jersey

a comedy written by "doonesbury" creator garry trudeau about four republican senators who live in thesame townhouse. amazon didn't select the show the conventional hollywood way. "alpha house" was picked out of thousands of scripts with the help of amazon customers who reviewed the shows. you are using your customer base to tell you rather than the opinion of some... >> bezos: that's exactly right. >> rose: ...hollywood programmer? >> bezos: we're changing the green lighting process. instead of a few studio executives deciding what gets green lighted... >> rose: so-called "taste makers"? >> bezos: yes-- we're using what some people would call "crowd sourcing" to help figure that out. >> rose: what other industry will amazon disrupt? at amazon's secret lab 126 in california, designers and engineers are experimenting on next generation devices, the contents of which are eagerly speculated about. are you working on a set-top box that will allow people to watch streaming video and not need to have cable television? >> bezos: i can't answer that question.

erin garry teaches in one of them. >> two minutes, one polish, one praise! when we started implementing the common core at our school two years ago, i started giving students more responsibility within the classroom so that they can be responsible for their own learning. >> let's get the main idea about what we think about it, then we can find evidence. >> i think one of the most important ones was the last one. >> reporter: jessie startup has also modified her teaching. >> with mathematics, it used to be "this is how you do it. here are your steps. if you don't do it that way, you're wrong." why you think this graph matches to one of the situations here? now, the common core says "do it any way you want. just be able to do it and justify your answer." so, students could draw a picture to figure out an answer, set up an equation, make a table. there's a variety of methods to do the same problem. >> reporter: things may be changing in a few hundred classrooms, but new york city has 75,000 teachers. brenda cartagena has 13 years of teaching experience. she say

garry: thank you. >> guest: i think she's everything abigail adams was to john adams to american history her day and age, eleanor roosevelt was for the early 20th century almost as if she was a reincarnation of her. and i'm wondering if hillary clinton is maybe a reincarnation of her too. it's just -- there are these women who have a place in history and abigail adams and eleanor roosevelt strike me as that. >> thank you, chris. >> well, nobody is a reincarnation of anybody else. but the caller is right, abigail adams is a great first lady and her correspondence with her husband is quite remarkable. and the fact that abigail was an intellectual. that's what you're seeing well nowhere roosevelt. she is somebody who's intellectual, not just a political life or something like this. she has deep and interesting ideas about america that she develops not just as first lady later, she thinks in civil rights in terms of human rights before most people are. and she's thinking about how we become -- what democracy really means and she's also mentioning the fbi not liking her and embracing of the u
