noble, haunting, lethargic. as beautiful as they are endangered. but you might know them better by their street name. mailboxes, yes, frozen in place these novelty mailboxes bring years of joy to owners and passersby alike. that is until things go terribly wrong. which is exactly what happened just weeks ago in cocoa, florida. >> nothing bad has ever happened in this neighborhood. other than my mailbox. >> reporter: homeowner denise hasty told us about her box. >> i've owned a manatee mailbox for 20 years. i dress up my manatee for every holiday. and when there's not a holiday, since we're in florida, i make him or her a boy or girl. >> but which is it, a boy or a girl. >> the mailbox went both ways, male and female. i don't have a manatee fetish. i just loved my manatee mailbox. >> stephen: but that love came to a shocking end on the night of february 14th. >> the st. valentine's day massacre. about 10:30 p.m., i was in bed asleep. i heard a huge explosion go off. the house shook. the windows shook. i jumped out of bed. >> stephen: emergency worke

as you can see, that was a very benign, subdued, almost lethargic statement hoist part. if you want to see a president who bullied the supreme court, who bullied the federal judiciary, go back and look at fdr in the 1930s when he had his court scheme. the fire side chats. that's a president trying to bully the court. this is par for the course for what the right has done during the obama presidency. they are running against, and they are sort of campaigning against what they want the president to be. they want the president to be a caricature of unhinged left i. and they refuse to grapple with when wla the president actually is. what he actually is is a guy who gives a very subdued statement of gee, i hope the court upholds this. i think the court should uphold this. and they turned it into he's a bully. >> so i'm a simple person. are you saying they're up the fabrication and it is a lie? is that what you're saying? >> this is the same party that took the most insurance friendly health care package and took it a government takeover of health care. >> brilliant. >> i reca

know this over there, but it's pretty early in the morning over here, so he might be a little more lethargicve. he runs and almost gallops like a pony. it's pretty incredible for a dog this big, to see him running the way that he does. yeah, he is very active. >> nothing like a pony running through the living room. has he knocked a lot of stuff off? have you lost a lot of items to the wagging tail? >> he's pretty careful, actually. >> pretty good, but he did dent our drywall corner one time, and actually, the dent is still there because i didn't fix it properly, so you can see where his tail did a little damage. other than that, he's pretty good. >> give us a sense of his size. compare him to, what, the sofa you're on is, what, a 6-foot sofa? >> no, this is actually bigger than that. this is probably 7 or 8 feet long. this is actually a pretty tall sofa. he's a big guy. i mean, the thing is about him is he's like the shaquille o'neal of a dog because he's -- all his weight is stretched out lengthwise. and so, if you just saw a still shot of him, he just looks perfectly proportioned. only whe

he then spent a week or ten days being extremely lethargic and confused and developed a little pneumoniaand couldn't swallow, couldn't communicate. he came down to our rehab unit once he was at least a little more medically stable. initially, the focus was on getting jim to eat on his own, to sit up, and to understand what was being said. dr. dobkin: when he first came down, if i said to him, "there are... how many elephants are in the room?" he'd nod. now when i say it, he laughs and, you know, looks at me like i'm crazy. this is a funny memory. there i was, yelling out, you know, i've got this terble... but nobody hears m and that seems to be the need i have-- to be heard-- because i could only catch the small bits that would come out of my mouth. okay, left arm through like a jacket. dr. dobkin: as recently as three or four days ago, he just had a hard time even standing up. ... two, three, up. very nice. actually, much to my amazement, after one treadmill training session, he was able to put weight into the right leg some and control the knee a little bit. he has no feeling on the ri

and watch for symptoms such as being lethargic or vomiting. >>> teachers in alameda will be hitting picket lines. ktvu's alex savidge is at alameda school to tell us what the teach remembers concerned about and what led to this demonstration. >> reporter: good morning, dave. hundreds of alameda teachers will be picketing at schools across the city including here at alameda high school where folks have already begun their picket line. they are angry over failed contract negotiations and doing all of this before the beginning of the school day. they are passing out leaflets to parents and other members of the public as they arrive at school. teachers say they've taken pay cuts and have made other sacrifices and that's why recently, last month, they rejected a contract. 500 teachers with the alameda education association turned down that contract offer. teachers say the offer increases their workload without proper excepttation. that agreement called for a 1.5% annual raise. but teachers say these negotiations are about more than pay. they also say it doesn't do enough to lower class sizes. t

if you feel lethargic, overwhelmed, most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep. go into a situation. pretend your happy. >> very well established psychological principle. we act because of the way we feel. but we feel because of the way we act. you are shy you act outgoing. if you're resentful act loving. you induce those feelings. it's almost uncanny how much you can switch your emotions around just by changing your outward reactions. it's more like going towards what you want it to be true. faking sounds like a pretense. >> feeling friendly when you're not feeling friendly. enjoy now meaning kind of enjoy the moment. compare, the comparative sense of happiness. it could be worse. write it down, keep a gratitude journal. the last one or not the last one, is be yourself. in the book often you're saying be gretchen. what do you mean by that? >> everybody needs to substitute their own name, obviously. somebody wrote me this. i read an e-mail about this. i thought that was understood. anyway. know thy self is the principle of happiness. you're hanging out with yours

but you can't eat bad things that make you lethargic, fried foods, heavy things, your workouts are goingd in your ability. it has to be the proper marriage. >> we see those folks losing a lot of weight. is it typical they gain the weight back after the show or do they do well in keeping it off? >> most people do well. we have a high percentage of people that come off this show that do extremely well. those that do fail psychologically they're not where they should be. so it's still some fat in the brain they need to get off. >> fat in the brain. i have a little fat in the body as well. i'm not going to let you go away without at least showing me how to do a little something. >> you want to do a little something? if you're ready, i'm ready. >> people at lunchtime -- >> i got this cast on right now from a workout but we're still going to get it in for you. >> what do i need to do? >> let's do some dips. i'm a huge fan of toning the back of your arm. stand in front of this bench and have a seat face forward. good. slide your rump off of the bench and let your rump go up and down, down and u
