they call him officer kevin, and he works at the cockeysville pal center. he is being reassigned to the streets, but the kids want him to stay there. so today they were outside the center holding signs to try to save officer kevin's job. when we asked how long they would be out there protesting, they said as long as it takes to save officer kevin. >> kind of a upsetting that they're making him go back on patrol. and he is the only officer that built a relationship with the kids at the center. he has gotten so many kids to become police officers. >> no matter which way it goes, he must feel pretty good about that. the kids have also started a petition on facebook. he would leave the center august 21st. >>> coming up, it is time to start that back to school shopping. but will the economy stop parents from going all out for their kids this year? and a very special welcome back for derrick mason. we'll tell you who performed for him at training camp. >> watch abc 2 news any time on channel 1 with comcast on demand. they have alzheimer's and heart disease, diabe

kevin fwhb two, let me get to you first of all. it looks as if it's going to be a fairly flat start to the trait trading day. what do you think will drive markets today? >> sure. i think we're going to see a little bit of data in terms of home sales and durable goods. that is -- you know, this morning will be the data point that drives markets. but beyond that, what we've seen is an improvement. i agree with what kevin has been talking about, an improvement overall in the market. so we're now getting to the point where there is a bit of a -- there is a bit of a concern about the forward-looking earnings projection. and when we do the math over the next two or three years, we have a tough time getting to where the analyst consensus is. so i think we are at the show-me stage and we're going to have to true up in the markets what the expectation for a very sharp recovery looks like in an environment where there's more debt, baby boomers are exiting their peak spending years and there's been no meaningful change in interest rates to th

and just bad. >> and behind kevin's home more damage. this family were at the country fair when they came home to this. >> a neighbor's pool deck. that must have gotten in the funnel cloud and catapulted through one of the walls. and was piece of metal sticking out. >> with the damage, officials cannot say for sure that it was the work of a tornado. >> national weather service will send a crew, to actually determine by the amount of damage that has occurred, whether it was actually indeed a tornado or considered maybe a micro burst. >> whatever it was, it left a big mess. even though residents say it could have been much worse. >> he is okay. i am okay, my brother is okay, that's all we can ask for. >> the storm damage was not limited to carroll county. this was a scene in west baltimore tonight. after storms knocked down a tree in druid hill park partially blocking the tree. >> and bge crews working all night to restore power. at 1.40 thousand pg -- bge customers in the dark. now 10,000 homes without power of the most of them in harford

so the blue jays settle for a run on the home run by kevin millar.ead to the third in toronto and a 1-1 game. úúxxxxúú . >> jim: 3rd inning tied up. robert andino will start it. he had a feast off roy halladay. >> buck: he would have four hits in total on that day as the orioles came back in the bottom of the 11th to beat the bylaw jays. he had three hits in his three at-bats against halladay. >> jim: halladay went 7, left the game with an 8-3 lead and the orioles tied it in the bottom of the 8th. they tied it off young jesse carlson. and then the orioles won it with the 4 at the top of the 11th. that was the nolan reimold walkoff home run game. andino playing at second base today in place of brian robert. pie and izturis will follow in the 3rd inning. it's been an unusual start to this game as each team has batted twice. there a ground ball toward deep short and past scutaro and into left field. that should be an error as he went to plant the glove and the foot. >> buck: robert andino continues to hit the ball hard off roy halladay. he get the set t

kevin millar has a two-run home run.oy halladay has pitched 7 innings, allowed only three runs and has the lead. cesar izturis has a good game. text your vote in now. here is kevin millar. albers will hope to induce a ground ball to turn 2. he gets ahead 0-1. >> buck: millar has always been a dead pull hitter. you can see he has had a good day. he has had two hits, a solo home run, a single and walked and scored two runs but he pulls the ball on the outside part of the plate. he hooks the ball. so there is a hole inside and he has trouble really covering up that down and in pitch like so many guys but he loves to get the ball out of the plate and just flick his wrist and hook that ball. >> jim: 1-1 the count, 2 on and one down. he played for the orioles for three years. you would think the orioles would know how to get him out but it's all where the ball goes and leaves your hand. >> buck: at the same time, he has a pretty good idea of what the pitchers are throwing. >> jim: once again, he has grown his beard back. it-2-

so today they held a protest outside the center on greenside drive. >> kevin made me want to become a police officer. so right now i'm in the process of being a cadet. and it's sad to see him go and how he inspired other kids to do things. >> the youth leadership has also started a petition drive to keep officer kevin there at the powell center. >>> the national discussion on health care reform has turned into a series of town hall shouting matches. but why? is it really grassroots outrage, or something more political? t.j. winick takes a closer look. >> reporter: lawmakers are getting an earful over health care reform. >> yes they know! >> reporter: at town hall meetings back in their hometown districts. outside detroit, congressman john dingle barely got his opening remarks out when an angry protester pushed his son in a wheelchair up-front. across the country, protests are getting louder. >> i think the more people look at the details of this health care reform plan, the more opposition we're going to see in it. >> reporter: texas democratic congressman lloyd doggett believes they'

kevin, same question to you. that how you see the role of charter schools and mostly healthy pressure? why couldn't vouchers play that same role? >> well, i think -- again, i'll use d.c. as a pretty easy and obvious example. one, to the point you made earlier, a pretty rapid increase in the availability of school choice options. so if you have the right set of policies which means fund charter schools and have strong oversights so you'll have good schools, you can, in fact, see a rapid expansion of school choice options for students in a relatively small amount of time. we're up to, i think, close to 40% of students in charter schools as of this year. but it's not just about putting pressure on the public schools. i mean, you know, we had -- the thing that's put pressure on the public schools to improve here in d.c. we had a mayoral election. that was the signal event that changed the attitude toward public education. i do think that's part of the role of school choice to provide pressure but to me, in a lot of w

kevin sullivan is a "washington post" foreign editor, and kevin is it also the expectation overseas that bill clinton is going to come out of north korean with these two american journalists? >> i think everyone believes there was some sort of a deal premixed here, that bill clinton wouldn't go unless he thought he would have success and that the north koreans wouldn't say no to a man they respect. >> what is the view of bill clinton overseas. >> bill clinton is still a wildly popular man, at least everywhere in the world that i have been. someone who was friendly to other countries in the world, who appreciated america's role as a neighbor in the world and as someone who understand relations between our countries and why they were important. and he's incredibly popular. >> kevin, chuck todd just talked about the complexities of dealing with north korea, there's the official state media and what they have said about hillary clinton. how complicated is the diplomatic dance in bill clinton's dance, how careful he needs to be? >> he needs to be very, very careful. he needs to draw a very cl

here's kevin depew of "minyanville" and "minyanville's" kevin depew. >> access to credit is getting tighter. banks are not only cutting credit lines for more consumers, they're also becoming more aggressive in their cuts. conventional wisdom says the economy can't recover without access to credit. but a recent study of all nine post-world war ii recessions by barclays capital, says this thinking may be wrong. according to the study, in the first year of recovery net new borrowing almost always lags the economy. the study also points out that, historically, borrowing by households and corporations always falls in the first year of recovery, which is precisely what is happening today. >> as you've pointed out, the supply of credit is certainly falling, and that's typical of how most recessions unfold, but there are two sides to the credit coin. availability of credit on the one side, demand for credit on the other. during prior recessions, credit availability was a short-term problem, largely because the underlying demand for it was still present. now, however, both availability and demand fo

here's kevin depew of "minyanville" and "minyanville's" kevin depew. >> earlier this year, the banking industry successfully pushed the financial accounting standards board-- known as f.a.s.b.-- to relax so-called mark-to-market rules, giving banks far more leeway in valuing assets on their balance sheets. mark-to-market rules require banks to value these assets at current market prices, but during the financial crisis the market for many securities simply vanished. now, right as the financial crisis is ending, f.a.s.b. is considering applying mark-to- market rules to all financial assets. this would be nothing short of disastrous, plunging banks right back into the hole they were in a year ago. >> i agree, the expansion of mark-to-market accounting rules would almost certainly push banks right back to the brink of insolvency, but the reality is you cannot use accounting changes to recalculate your way to prosperity. the problem is we have a vast amount of debt in our banking system. the government knows this, and in many cases is directly supporting this debt while regulatory bodies,

here's kevin depew of "minyanville" and "minyanville's" kevin depew. >> our economy is in a severe economic downturn, and while most recessionary shocks of this type have been followed by quick, v-shaped recoveries, this one has been so deep and painful that the majority of economists aren't looking for anything more than a mild recovery at best. and that's the problem. when is the last time the majority of economists were correct? the thing is, we've been here before. many times. yes, the economy is in bad shape, but to say the eventual recovery will be weaker than usual is to make the classic wall street mistake of saying, this time is different. it's never different. >> it's true, i don't believe in a v-shaped recovery, and here's why. beyond the headwinds of private- sector de-leveraging, high unemployment, and further deterioration in credit quality still to come. i think there's a more profound test facing this country-- and that's the enormous resizing of the american economy. by resizing, i'm referring to the need to bring us economic capacity down to a much lower level of long-term

kevin says they saw the garage wall coming off. >> windows blown out. it was just a mess. water was coming down everywhere. >> in all, 15 homes were damaged in some way by the storm. this was not the only area hit hard. several families in cockeysville have a big cleanup ahead. >> i heard a loud whistle. then i saw the trees coming. i ran. i have never seen anything like this in my life. >> luckily, none of their homes were severely damaged, he met many trees were ripped from their roots and torn in half. they are staying with family and friends until a structural engineer gives the all clear. >> it will take awhile to repair. >> fire officials say the national weather service will be out here tomorrow in during the daylight hours to take a look at the damage and decide if it was a tornado or just severe storms that rolled through this afternoon. >> though strong storms also knocked out power to sinai hospital around 3:30 this afternoon. there were forced to go into disaster mode. backup generators kicked then. visitors say the air conditioning was only on in some rooms, a

where else are the opportunities in technology, kevin?u know, i think that if you're looking at tech, you've got to decide, do you want to go buy the blue chips, the ciscoes and the intels and perhaps the gabboogles? or do you want to buy the unloved and misunderstood or the undiscovered? there are always hidden gems in tech. there's a constant changing of the guard. there's no secret. i've been saying the next big wave in thek is alternative energy and there are alternative energy companies that are emerging and they'll be the next-generation blue chips a few years from now. >> you're also seeing a lot of vc money going into alternative energy and technology, really the underpinning of that sector. so, seth, let's hear your hidden gems. >> well, you know, i think mr. landis made a good point. tech came out strong. and actually maybe it was that crushing unpopularity in high school i'm getting over. i'm always squeamish. i like to look in a sector that people hate for stocks and companies that i like. that said, we own in our portfolio ri
