television evangelist oral roberts died today at a hospital in newport beach, california. he suffered complications from pneumonia. starting in the 1950s, roberts created a multimillion-dollar faith healing ministry. he also founded a private christian university bearing his name in tulsa, oklahoma. oral roberts was 91 years old. in economic news, the labor department announced wholesale prices rose nearly 2% last month, much more than expected. that raised fears of inflation on wall street. the dow jones industrial average lost 49 points to close at 10,452. the nasdaq fell 11 points to close at 2201. those are some of the day's main stories. i'll be back at the end of the program with a preview of what you'll find tonight on the newshour's web site. but for now, back to jeff. >> brown: and still to come on the newshour, the struggle for a global climate deal in copenhagen; everest's melting glaciers; and why one former treasury secretary says big banks shouldn't be bailed out. that follows our coverage of a new plan to move some inmates currently held at guantanamo bay to

the homes of several constituents affected by the toxic dry wall in the hollymeade subdivision in newport news, and saw firsthand how toxic dry wall has put the health of families at risk. i met with these folks again last week to be updated on their current predicament. these homeowners, many of whom served or serving our country in the armed forces, cannot afford to carry a mortgage on a home that is uninhabitable and make arrangements to pay rent or pay a mortgage on a second home to keep their family safe. many of these families are juggling the burdens of having a deployed spouse or spouse preparing for deployment and an additional financial burden such as a moveout of an impactsed home, foreclosure, or loss ever insurance coverage. all of these would be devastating to these families. this resolution encourages banks to allow for a temporary forebarons without penalty on payments on their home mortgages. this would give homeowners the time they need to work out a more permanent solution. my office is currently working with seven homeowners who are seeking assistance from their lender
