. >> director jarvis, thanks very much. because of the number of senators here, i'll ask one question to get us started and recognize our colleagues. director jarvis, for decades, the park service has recommended expanding the oregon caves national monument. and one of the primary reasons has been because the existing site is not large enough to protect the site, given the volume of visitors. so in the case of oregon caves, not expanding the site could actually increase the cost of maintaining a very unique resource. my point is that the park acquisition and maintenance costs are not always in conflict, and certainly the oregon caves raises that issue. adding to the monument might actually hold down the cost of maintaining the site. so my question to you, dr. jarvis, is isn't this part of the thinking that ought to go into this debate? in other words, we're going to explore plenty of ideas. and you saw that with a big chunk of the senate. but wouldn't you say philosophically that we ought to try to find ways to intertwine t

follow deputy jarvis back into the jury room. >> and. >> we're watching the trial of george zimmerman. the court is going to take a 15-minute recess.

i do want to ask the director, director jarvis. think that it is important that we are seeing this pop back into the department itself. that is something that could expire or even next year. that is a critical way that we could address some of the challenges of the park service. i think that it is important that we reauthorize that. i would like to ask you are general view on how we make sure that our parks, which are one of the most affordable recreation opportunities for american families, most of us grew up on our summer vacations going to parks. how do we make sure that in trying to address these challenges we do not price that outside of the region of working families? >> thank you, senator. i agree with you 100%. we collect about 170 million and recreation fees. that is special use fees and about another 60 to 70 million and can concession franchise fees. you're looking at about 250 million fees coming into the national park service. differently we have always tried to keep the fee is as a component of the overall budget prog

i think director jarvis. >> thank you, senator.you are making a number of exceptionally important points. we all recall another washington resident was here at the committee. she pointed out that recreation now is a $646 billion annually boost on the american economy. this is outdoor recreation close to $650 billion a year, everything from diamonds to equipment tech clothing. the list goes on and on and on. the points are well taken. one of the reasons that i asked about the case is that i think you also touch on another very important point. it is not correct to say that maintenance and acquisition are always mutually exclusive. in a number of instances they go hand in hand and that acquisition may, in fact, actually lower some of them in its costs. you make a number -- >> i don't want to by my colleague, but the director will remember this one correctly. the land acquisition on the river basically allowed us to expand. why did we do it? it kept getting washed out. the access an entry point kept getting washed out. we kept coming

we won't get unemployment down unless we get housing up. >> reporter: rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york definitely good news, it's still not where we used to be. pre-2006, we have places that are still not 5%, there's a couple places that are just 5% to get to where they were prehousing bust. those places san jose, honolulu, san antonio. we are still 25%. a lot of other places below where we were in the 2006 bust. >> nevertheless, a lot better than a year or two ago. they do expect next year sales to slow down a bit, because the interest rate is starting to creep up. >> they expect the interest rates to go to 5% or 6% by next year. that's a significant jump considering they were in the 3s earlier this year, end of last year. >> if you are out there, refinance now. >> yes, yes, yes. >>> coming up an update on the royal birth. another story about the royal birth. this time telling you kate [ middleton had a tough time in the delivery room. >> something superstar sharon stone is absolutely refusing to do. it's next in "the skinny." >> announcer: "world news now" continues after this from o

take your notes with you and follow deputy jarvis back into the jury room. >> lisa bloom, jury instructions make or break a case, right? >> yes. let me simplify. manslaughter is the easiest charge here. manslaughter is simply an intentional killing of another human being without justification. ie, no self-defense. you don't need premeditation. that's first-degree murder. you don't need depraved mind. that's second-degree murder. we know george zimmerman intentionally took the gun out, pointed it at trayvon martin and pulled the trigger. so the prosecution wins on that unless george zimmerman wins on self-defense. self-defense is whether his actions were reasonable under the circumstances, that he was reasonably in fear of great bodily injury or death. i would have liked to have heard more from the prosecution that panic is not reasonable behavior. exaggerating what is going on is not reasonable behavior. essentially, mark o'mara in his defense closing argument admitted that george zimmerman was probably exaggerating his injuries, exaggerating how bad the incident was. boy, you know, i think
