josh hamlin slapped a walkoff single. they lead the angels by a game and a half. >>> now, to st. louis. cards and brewers needed ten to decide a winner. tied at 3-3, tracy mcgee to center field. milwaukee win 5-3. they lead st. louis by four in the n.l. central. you know the phrase, when you're on, you're on. dan uggla is a perfect example. he increased his hitting streak to 30, as he singled against the marlins. there's martin prado, who had a huge game. four for six and had an rbi single in the 11th. that's your first look at sports. >>> now, another quick look at the weather. here's bill karins. he has your weather channel forecast. >> i'm guessing you slip through the rainstorm yesterday. >> minorly. >> two inches of rain in central park. we were drenched. boston had more. boston other two inches of rain. most of the major cities had heavy rain. the exception, washington, d.c. you got missed yesterday. the rain stayed to your north. as far as this morning goes, the rain has ended in boston. we have a dry morning commute. but the roads are dry in eastern massachusetts. today's

i'm looking at our numbers here and i see that be a hamlin condoleezza rice high school, well -- abraham lincoln high school has less than 100, local has 77 and george washington has of a. -- has 56. so george washington, only 6.4% of its population are in your program and at local only 8.8%. so you're in violation of not having a viable program by the department of defense standards . so we are attempting here to meet the minimum standards that you state here, however your program doesn't even meet the minimum standards set by your own department of defense guidelines. so i just don't see why -- quite frankly when i see at local 77 students and you plan on hiring another instructor for local you're going to have two teachers for 77 students, out of how many sections that are taught a day? that seems as though it is not excessive but it may be what all of our science and magget classes should have that student to teacher ratio. i think my point is, major, that we're doing all this again, making a lot of changes when really many of our programs in this district are ready -- already are in

hamlin finished 36. a big crash of the day. is backed david smashes into the wall and goes airborne. this is tough stuff here. there he goes. after the race, the cap by the name of boris had strong words. everyone a skulking a waste tonight these and gentleman he is going off. >> i am more upset with a grin he is the most unprofessional scaredy-cat i have seen in my life he will not even funny as a man afterwards so of someone with texting his address afterwards i will show up at his house and give him what he needs, he needs a whipping and i will give it to him. >> now can i send this again, if life is pretty good and you're playing a sport and driving did not fight. >> can't be allowed to skip along? >> no, and to a serious. if i am doing my job as i hate, and i see you working and you are eating a tuna fish sandwich and i'm thinking to take that away. but if you're playing sports and get mad i could not detect. >> i always a good sportsmanship. >> again, sports did not reveal care--sports do not build character, they reveal

denny hamlin's car doesn't cooperate he goes into the wall looked bad but he would walk away.rama on the final lap. a worse regular. david reagan and route man collide. route man's car gets the worst of it. the crash was set off by boris said. marcus ambrose wins. afterwards boris said and greg biffle got into it. said kept at it. he earned this week's they said it award. >> i want winners. >> he is the most unprofessional little scaredy cat i have ever seen in my life. he won't even fight me like a man after. so if someone texts me his address i'll go see him at his hose wednesday and show i am what he needs. he needs a whooping. i'm going to give it to him. he was giving me the finger, totally unprofessional. two laps down, he's a chump. >>> after allowing five sacks the 49ers have to worry about the long term health of the quarterbacks. >> we want to thank the saints for doing that. they gave us the opportunity to get better and we will. >> the 9ers are looking for another quarterback. they brought in daunte culpepper for workouts. nothing official is announced. he madoff i

. >> i agree with your analysis of president rain hamlin con, i guess my one question to you would beook at lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus in maryland. i guess that would be the one major incident that would contradict the constitution and declaration of independence but it might have been necessary to preserve the union. >> it's a great question. it is in the constitution that you can suspend it and we had a large insurrection. but at the beginning, he suspended it on his own and there's aage -- an argument of whether congress needed to do it. he took a bunch of measures on his own authority that i think in the best interpretation were extralegal he takes them all and says, bless these, and they bless them all except habeas corpus. i think as an act of statesmanship, it was the correct call. you have the nation under a fundamental threat and if you do not get soldiers, if you don't get an army into washington, the capital can collapse. and you have in baltimore a near insurrectionnary environment. you had maryland officials coming to lincoln and saying, stop sending the troops

third, seth hamlin who's at the center of american progress. and finally, lawrence who is senior vice president of senior research at the association of realititers. we're also very lucky to have ed andrews as our moderator who's can you remember the managing editor for economic taxes and budget at the "national journal." let me turn it over to you. >> thank you very much. >> it's a great pleasure to be here. i can't think of a better forum for powerful conversation than here at the urban institute and i think this is a great, great way to attack the whole tax reform, the mortgage interest deduction, you know, is one of the very biggest and certainly the most popular tax deductions out there. it's expensive. critics say it's unfair. and if we're going to tackle tax reform, dealing with it in microcosm, if you will is will bring to light all of the issues that we -- you know, we have to grapple with in talking with tax reform. so i really look forward to getting underway. i'm going to get -- i just want to cover a couple of small housekeeping de
