>> mike: huskies on top by six with 7:23 to play in the first half. leading scorers george mason with nine and chaisson allen for the northeastern huskies with eight. >> mark: chaisson allen is doing very well knocking down the open shots. he's also creating and getting into the paint. so, one of the things about chaisson allen that's so good is that he -- is that he takes what the offense gives them and he's doing a good job of that tonight. >> mike: northeastern now with a 6-0 run here to take the advantage by six at 21-15. they were up 15-9. mason came back to tie it up and it's been all northeastern and they have the ball here. >> mark: one thing i love about chaisson allen is that he's not only scores, but he defends. he tries to get after his man. that makes him a complete ball player because he plays both ends of the floor. he doesn't just look to score. he looks to key fend -- defend as well. >> mike: a pretty goodfundamental basketball from both these teams. no secret how they're the two top teams in the league. again, underneath. >> mark: th

let's see if mike petersen puts the ball in the hands of the defender monica wright. >> mike: let's take a look at our fast break play of the game. we talked about the wake forest guards playing well. here is an example. >> debbie: thomas takes it to the rim. no one contests her offensively. she makes a nice crossover move and finishes. the smallest player on the floor getting all the way to the rim. >> mike: brooke thomas has been kind of up and down at times this year, but when she plays like this and also tiffany roulhac coming off the bench, what a lift it gives wake forest. >> debbie: there's not many games that brooke thomas has had more assists than turnovers. when she takes care of the ball, they are very solid in what they run. i said it in the first half she can take this entire wake forest team to another level when she executes and runs their stauf because mike ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ! me! ut. i toit. i tothe efor outh. co ale refot call yoa beng mx! theionsme! tahim,. i d, ieir foulwhen boun te'thrne, e. ce galex coac gol. >> mike: our geico play of the game. one of the key players for wak

"i know strategic medications as a term of reference is probably here to stay. regrettably, it has grown too much a part of our lexicon. to put it simply we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and more about what our actions communicate." you say that in the context of almost doing the exact opposite. as you say this administration is focusing so greatly. let me open the floor. >> you mentioned that the information regarding iran. i would like to talk about the strategic architecture in the gulf. i was hoping the admiral would help us to understand what secateurs clinton meant in the summer when to talk about possibly a defense umbrella among allies in the gulf. -- what secretary clinton meant. who is in charge? >> all right. >> the short answers is a domino what is being done. in the planning that is being done it would presumably be done by centcom. but i think this is -- the secretary of st

tina mike very much. >> good. thank you. we have some juicy issues here to look at. bridging the gap between conservation and the development agenda, the issue of what is the effect of war holes and wells on water tables and the effects on people in northern uganda and the looming question of how does climate change affect the work that we are doing? who would like to jump into this? i'll give it a shot here it >> a big issue i wanted to take on a couple of the questions that came up and probably a fairly superficial way and maybe it will be abused. it is personal healthy people versus healthy water. this distinction. i think the first turning point is to reframe it. i think as long as we continue to see this dichotomy we're going to continue to have the problem. the second thing i think they are is looking for the examples of where it has worked. there must be examples and finding them and figuring out how they're similar to other situations that may exist out there. i think that's critical particularly when you're trying to get to decision-makers in the u.s. federa

nbc's mike viqueira is at the white house with more on that. mike? >> reporter: good evening, lester. today a white house official says there are hundreds of al qaeda members within yemen, that middle eastern country where the fight against terrorism has taken on a new urgency. citing specific threats against americans, officials today closed the u.s. embassy in yemen. >> there are indications that al qaeda's planned to carry out an attack in the capital of yemen. >> reporter: employees were told to stay home. a journalist on the ground describes the scene. >> right now the government is putting out heavy security just in case that the al qaeda threats are real. and also the helicopters from the military are put on hold in case any attacks do happen. >> reporter: the british embassy was also shuttered, with prime minister gordon brown calling yemen a failing state while also beefing up his nation's security at home. >> we've recognized that there are new forms of weapon that are being used by al qaeda. so we've got to respond accordingly. >> reporter

we begin with nbc's mike viqueira at the white house. mike? >> good evening, lester. the president shared some new intelligence information with the nation today, and now he and others want to know why america's intelligence agencies failed to share that information with each other. today president obama revealed for the first time what many had suspected since the attempted bombing on christmas day, al qaeda was behind it. >> it appears that he joined an affiliate of al qaeda and that this group, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, trained him, equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for america. >> reporter: the president says that the suspect, umar abdulmutallab, made his al qaeda contacts and received his training in yemen, a country wracked by poverty and an ongoing civil war. now fertile ground for extremists driven from strongholds in afghanistan and elsewhere. >> there's really basically a de facto safe haven for islamic terrorists and the yemeni government is almost powerless to stop them from operating. >> reporter: aft

>> let's take one particular example, mike. what wealth has been created by giving aig $100 million? or what wealth created by giving g.m. $100 million? that's money flushed down the toilet. >> let me interrupt -- gentlemen, can i -- >> i agree on aig. >> stuart: let me interrupt. the money we have been spending in 2009 was bow rorred money. the government spent it and it was, it was borrowed. we're deeply in debt. it has to be repaid. already, because of the amount we're borrowing, the interest rates are rising. it's going to have an impact on the economy and market. >> it has. we're back in a growth mode. since the depression -- >> [ overtalk ] >> my interest rate has risen half a percent on long-term bonds. the short-term rate has not risen at all -- >> but the value of the dollar, you know. >> you asked a question. what wealth had we created? we created about $200 billion in new wealth. if you look at the growth in the third quarter of the u.s. economy. and if you take that, my total output, which equals the total income is

mike said he did. i said, mike, no. you deserve this vacation.ou need to be with your son so i was the one who told him he should go out there. >> former c.i.a. operative wayne simmons says forget the bungling, these guys should be packing. wayne, good to have you. how you doing? >> i'm doing great. >> but you're worried about how we're doing securitiwise. >> you've said the verse before i'm sure. you've certainly read it, the or well verse that we sleep safely because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would harm us. in this case this president has succeeded with his administration in making absolutely certain, and we hear this all across the nation, that americans do not sleep safely in their beds anymore because they are very, very afraid. not just of traveling, but of what is happening with this nation and our national security. >> you know, i was thinking of hillary clinton saying this three a.m. ad when that phone rings in the white house at 3:00 in the morning and something comes up, will this guy be up to th

off a steal, mike miller ahead. he throws it down. washington down just one after one. early in the second, lakers started to pull away. lamar odom lobs one up for shannon brown, the putdown. l.a. outscores washington by 15 in the second. about led by 16 at the break. third quarter, kobe starts to put on a show. he start 0d-3 from the field. he turned it on in the second half. 11 points in the third on 4-6 shooting. also getting teammates involved like pau gasol. washington makes a run. deshawn stevenson the corner

did you come up with this, mike? >> the name i was a part of. the actual idea for the piece came from the band and our organization, music for relief. >> enrique, how did you get involved? >> mike and his band, linkin park, we're both managed by the same management company. and they asked me to do this. you know, i grew up in miami. as you know, miami has a huge haitian population and many of my friends grows up were haitians. and they've been very affected by what's going on in haiti. a lot of them have lost family members in haiti. so i was right on, i was ready to do it. i had some music that i wanted to give to music for relief that nobody's heard yet. >> larry: how does it work, mike? >> we're at a really special point in time as far as a project like this goes. a few years ago, you wouldn't have been able to turn around a song in a matter of days the way it's happened now. you wouldn't have the social -- the online communities that we've got now. you wouldn't have had facebook and twitter and all these great -- >> larry: what happened? >>

[applause] >> i will now ask mike eisenstadt to offer his remarks. mike? >> thanks, jim. to tough act to follow your. i think my first impression after hearing admiral mullen talk is really a sense of all at the incredibly complex set of security problems that our military, are dealing with in this part of the world. both in terms of geographical scope, in terms of dealing with problems of stability and security and insurgency in areas that we have not been involved in. after 9/11 everybody knows about our involvement in afghanistan and afterward in iraq, but we've also been involved in the horn of africa and increasingly deeply involved in yemen now, right adjacent to the area. so our engagement in the area has expanded in terms of geographic scope, and in terms of the complexity of the issues that we deal with. no longer just are on the security level, but cut across all the instruments of national power. diplomacy, military, economic and he bellovin issues, as was the informational domain which admiral mullen talk about. so i don't envy him. he has tremendous challenge

. >>> nbc's mike viqueira joins us live from the white house. mike, any word this morning from the obama administration or is this all simply the state department in terms of the closure of the u.s. embassy in yemen? >> actually, the white house homeland security adviser here at the white house john brennan is making the rounds, appearing on "meet the press" first and foremost, saying there is a threat from al qaeda that has resulted in the temporary closure of the american embassy in yemen. the capital there sana, we learned that british embassy is being closed. a nonspecific threat, but out of an abundance of caution, embassy employees are being told to stay in their home. all told, there are about 500 employees of the u.s. embassy there. this comes after a number of developments over the weekend. of course, david, you mentioned, that the president specifically confirmed what many had suspected yesterday in his radio and internet address, he said that it was an al qaeda connection. aqap, they call it. al qaeda on the arabian peninsula where th

backup quarterback, billy bollock in for the chargers and he goes to mike toll berth. where's the coverage? chargers beat the skins 23-20. after the game, jim zorn talked about his job status. >> i'm still reeling from this loss. anything that i say about my -- what my future might be here would just be -- just be babbling along here. i'm, you know, i'm just going to -- i'm going to be forthright and kind of get things moving but i certainly want to be the head coach here. >> i don't think anybody is really talking about this ball game. most redskins fans hoping tomorrow is the beginning of a new era and the end of more than a decade of subpar football here in washington if and when shan shannihan gets hired he'll be the seventh coach under redskins owner, dan snider. lindsay czarniak has more on the coaching situation and the final game of the season. >> jim zorn took the time to thank all of us in the media after his post game press conference leaving some to believe that he's aware his time is up as head coach of the redskins. after this game the players were dealin

. >> mike knuble is one of the guys who has talked about it.e said to bruce boudreau, look, i got 28 goals in philadelphia playing on consistent lines. bruce boudreau likes to juggle things around when things aren't gl well. he's rewarding his players. if you want to perform on the same line together, keep putting the puck in the net. this is what the capitals are doing. >> i also think it gives you a lost confidence to play in the same line every night and not wonder if you're going to get pulled off the line right away. that's what was happening for a while. i thought that's what -- why we saw such inconsistent play from the capitals. now that boudreau has taken veteran advice from mike, it's paid off for this team and they're scoring a ton of goals and playing an even better defensive game and i really like what they're doing right now. >> al, one of the things you have -- things you have to admit, boy, it's one line going or maybe two. that's a luxury most coaches would love to have. with the washington capitals, they have all four lines go

with mike i think it will be different. >> all right. let's hope so. >>> and within minutes of the story breaking fans began powing comments on our facebook page. here are a few of the comments. sharon wrote, will a new coach really make a difference? roy says how many more coaching changes will the redskins go through before they get the right one? and paulette. says he was not the man for our team. we don't need nice, but we need tough and strong. the firing of jim zoran, we want to know who you want to see. you can find out our poll and more coverage at wusa9.com. let us hear from you. and of course we'll have more on the firings coming up throughout the day and after the break. stay with us. it is 9 after the hour.
