sergeant donald hooper is the supervisor on duty that day. >> it was a slow sunday morning.ot going on, just dealing with typical paperwork issues. and i hear over the radio from our control room that a car had crashed through the auto sally port door. so i asked for clarification on the radio. a car came into the door? no. a car crashed through the door. >> the sally port is a secure enclosed area that officers use to transfer the custody of inmates. with this area compromised, the jail goes on lockdown. sergeant hooper calls for backup, and he and his deputies make their way towards the sally port to check out the scene. >> the lincoln navigator had crashed in the door, but the door had pretty much fallen back into place. but the navigator was parked against a center divider and still running. the vehicle was a little skewed as it hit the wall. and it was sort of leaning to the left. and you could see the driver at that time i thought maybe he was injured because he wasn't moving. i thought it was an accident. >> not knowing what to expect, sergeant hooper and his deputies

the chesapeake bay maritime museum, and hooper straight lighthouse, mark land where once there were seafood packing houses, docks, and workboats. it's a place where a seafaring past meets the sailors... and pleasure boaters of the present. the back bays of st. michaels, sculpted with protected coves, and easy water access, are fashionable getaway spots. highway 50, and the choptank river fishing pier, lead the way into cambridge, one of the oldest cities in maryland. like any other waterfront town, life in cambridge is measured not by how much, or how fast, but the tides, the wind, and the waves. the sun retreats to the western horizon, casting long shadows over the nanticoke. a river system of serene splendor. individual, curvaceous, meandering. for a long time, the nanticoke remained undeveloped, its shorelines thick with forest, its waters one of the most productive for fishermen and pound netters. a place that inspires hope that chesapeake country will always look just as it does today. >> rhea: we have just seen some of the most stunning and dramatic hd images ever captured of the ches

it changed the way we celebrate christmas in so many countries hooper it is. >> this is a first editionis is a copy that charles dickens gave to his best friend, john forster. "christmas carol" was written in autumn of 1843. we know dickens writing to a friend describes how he was walking about 15 miles a night composing that book. and it's become really the most famous sort of urban fairy tale. there are a lot of things in today's society that are very, very similar to the time when dickens was writing his great works. >> so still the tale of two cities. the west being more affluent of london and the east being the less affluent areas of london. it's still like that today. >> even more obvious is the divide between the wealthy and the poverty in the west, the sort of very fine table. and then in the east, a very poor family. and i'm afraid sitting in that room, that's a coffin. the theme that dickens covers in his books are very relevant today. he talks about government bureaucracy. he invents the term red tape, and we're still using that today. and he talks about financial irregularit

pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the house will stand in recess subject to the call >> molly hooper from "hthe hill" joins us. what did they decide? >> until now, the house and senate conferees had been working for six weeks to get to a point where they could reach an agreement on funding the remaining nine spending bills for 2012. that happened last week. senate majority leader harry reid, to gain political leverage for a separate piece of legislation, the payroll tax cut extender, the unemployment extender bill, said he would not have democrats on the conference committee signed it. if he did not have the conferees signing a conference report, then neither house can take up. what that meant is the house republicans were at the whim -- they were in a holding pattern to pass this bill, which must pass by friday, because the funding expires on friday. what house republicans decided to do last night, they had a conference very late, almost two hours, and decided to go ahead and introduce essentially the same bill, as the conference report is, a deal that was struck by democrats and re
