the issue with it was just right under neath the 7 projects relative to the scoring and there was also a timing issue, potentially. also the belt line building which is the small build not guilty front of the cruise ship terminal at pier 27, there was a good project submitted to do leasing improvements, to get an elevator into that facility to do ada improvements to the restroom, that is a revenue generator and that was just under the scoring. in terms of others, track upgrades, there were several maritime improvements to pier 89-92-96 that were dependent on the business case and we're waiting for some other approvals that are going to come through before we better understand the business case. so those were the main ones. >> elaine, just a quick question. how much in terms of your scoring mechanism, what weight is put on return on investment or revenue generation? >> what we do is look at the payback period and wie look at the 10 year financial benefit and basically the top score is 30 points out of the hundred. but if there is a huge payback and we give every 250,000 dollars in the 1

. >> and yurd neath from the one -- >> that's going to be so hard to remove. forget that. thanks so much tom. >>> there's more. sarah is there in boston. so sarah, you're on safer high ground because these streets are very narrow made even more narrow because of the way in which they've been plowed. what's going on there? >> reporter: right, fred you nailed it. this is the problem here. these snow piles are piling up with each storm, and there's no play to put all the snow. it's an unprecedented amount of snow because they're coming back to back to back and residents here are worried that with the budgets busting from this year's snow already, there's no place to put all of the snow and it's not getting off the streets fast enough. a winter weary northeast is bracing for yet another round of snow. this coming after a series of back to back to back storms which have already unleashed record amounts of snow in the region. what's it been like have been back-to-back snowstorms? what's it like for business? >> really slow. we've sat around with nothing literally to do, and all

. >> only 100 feet doing 100 forward knots because we had these massive pieces of bridges beaten neaths. >> what what happens. >> we figure out who land safely and we did. >> the military newspaper stars and stripes exposed mr. williams saying the story wasn't true. so last night the anchorman apologized. >> this was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension, our brave military men and women veterans everywhere, those who are served while i did not. i hope they know they have my greatest respect and also now my apology. >> joining us now from washington to analyze, lauren ash burn and howard kurtz host of media buzz seen at sundays 11:30 a.m. we saw hillary clinton say she was under fire in the balkans, wasn't true. saw richard blumenthal say he served in vietnam that was false but people elected him to the senate anyway. is this case any different? >> people expect politicians to fudge the truth. a journalist doesn't have that luxury because he depends on the audience's trust. this is a huge credibility crisis for brian williams at nbc because when the top

. >> shooting star last year we did it in new orleans and this yearary's suiting back up because neathp here. east/west. >> crazy, obviously a lot of injuries so lineups have been shuffling but i like the west obviously because i'm -- that's who i'm playing for but i think we can take them down and have a good time in madison square garden. that's going to be unreal. >> how is it being in the big apple -- are we treating you well all-star weekend. >> except the bitter cold. other than that i still got my jacket on. other than that i'm having a great time. i love to coming to new york and with the excitement for the weekend this is definitely you know showing up. >> now, dj irie plays for that team the miami heat. he usually has his ring on. so you have any music -- anything to get us in the mood for all-star weekend? what do you is for us dj irie? come on. come on. all right. ♪ >> got a big future. >> i think he does. >> a couple rings in his future. >> be sure to catch the nba all-star celebrity game tonight on espn 7:00 p.m. hey, steph, best to you and your family. we'll be right bac

>> under neath what brian is say saying as half-joke is there's something serious there. which is brian williams got in trouble which is the out of the newscast persona he had, his love of doing "30 rock," "the daily show." >> that's not what got him in trouble. >> absolutely. it's not what triggered the outcry from the january 30th broadcast. but he had said some serious things indicating there was a pattern to this. on letterman, on alec baldwin's radio show here in new york. >> and he made himself a target by building his own celebrity. jon stewart over time he was a comic, when he took over 15 years ago of the daily show jon stewart has taken on a more serious role. he's a comedian left of center. but what i think he's done an unpacking of both political rhetoric and lazy at times journalism that forces more accountability and in some ways i've seen influenced how journalists and media critics approach their own jobs so he's trended a more serious role even as williams has embraced a popular cultural role for himself. >> there's a lot to unpack we appreciate you both
