commissioner norton and then commissioner wynns. >> thank you. i just want to thank you for the presentation. i mean a lot of this information i'm aware of but to see it all collected like this is really, really helpful and partly just to help you dispel that kind of disconception that we have tons of empty properties lying around the city so i really thank you for that. i guess i want to explore a little bit the seventh and loton discussion a little bit moamplt i think i heard you just say to supervisor kim that site could accommodate -- did you say hundreds of units of housing? >> seventh and loton. >> [inaudible] >> oh the sota site. >> [inaudible] >> i think seventh and loton actually could accommodate -- >> about 120. okay. >> yes. >> and i mean i know when this comes up we sort of talk about the neighborhood opposition to this, but it does seem like given -- i mean what is happening in the city right now and just the that there does seem to be so much agreement on the need to build more housing whether it's market rate, affordable -- a mix.

norton says she talked to the tsa and asked that the agents be reminded that d.c.icenses must be treated the same as licenses from the 50 states. >>> a new report shows a d.c. fire cadet did not know how to respond when a man collapsed and died across the street from a northeast fire station. 77-year-old medrick mills collapsed from a heart attack last month. witnesses went to the fire station for help, but employees there said they had to call 911. this morning, the "washington post" is reporting that an internal report says a fire cadet did not know how to respond if someone approached the firehouse. a public report issued last week found firefighters did not respond and said that a dispatcher sent an ambulance to the wrong address. >>> a former montgomery county schoolteacher is facing nearly twice the amount of criminal charges as originally thought this morning. lawrence joinus was indicted on 39 criminal counts related to the sexual abuse of more than a dozen underage girls. the abuse took place over a decade when joinus worked at the new hampshire estates el

holmes norton asked the tsa to remind their agents that d.c. residents are american citizens and should be treated as such. >>> heated debate over high-end development. tonight there is talk of building new luxury condos in georgetown right near the steps made famous in the exorcist movie. chris is along, long street with the proposal. >> reporter: the controversy that surrounds this project really revolves around the folks that obviously live here in this area. but make no mistake, this project would radically transform an iconic part of georgetown for thousands of commuters in our area. as cars stream over the key bridge and whitehurst freeway, this is what welcomes them to georgetown ball. developer is ready to present new plans to build luxury condos on the exxon spot. >> it's going to be a very large building. and focal point. >> reporter: the plans call for a five-story building with up to 28 condos. some neighbors are worried it will partially block their views of the potomac, and that is the design is just too modern. >> we want to have

would you please give a warm jayhawk welcome to richard norton smith. [applause] >> richard, welcome back to the dole institute. let's start with president buchanan. he was a life-long bachelor. >> a pretty depressing place to start. except it's gotten better. >> yes, ok. life-long bachelor. how did he take care of the role of first lady during his administration? >> well, the interesting thing is, buchanan administration, which had very few successes to its name, actually was very well served by the woman who performed the role of hoses at the, his niece, harriette lane, who by all accounts inherited her uncle's diplomatic skills but in addition to that, a degree of charisma and warmth that were notably lacking in president buchanan. remember, anyone in the white house at that point, president or first lady, would face a particular challenge because although the civil war would not begin until april of 1861, the fact of the matter is it was already raging out here on the prairies of kansas and in the drawing rooms in washington. and one of the remarkab

doesn't it look just like jim norton? side by side? >> yes. true. >> right. >> you know what?r going. as i look at it, it's behind me when i am looking. i keep looking behind me. but i know he's watching me, andy? >> yes >> you said time and time again art and art education disgusts you. should we do away with museums? >> if it is making students uncomfortable it should be removed. if one person is offended then, in my opinion the artist has failed. in my opinion this is not art, it is jim norton he framed himself to remain very, very still, he is going around to girls' colleges and standing around in his under wear. it's jim doing performance art and it's beautiful. >> if that was on my campus that statue would be in my dorm room. >> i hope they didn't pay for that. >> i think they did. >> that does it for me, i'm greg gutfeld. bye bye. not much, you k except it's 2 peent every year. not much, you k go to e*trade and find out how much our advice and guidance costs. spoiler alert. it's low. it's guidance on your terms not ours. e*trade. less for us, more for you. [ applause ]

norton reached out to brandt to apologize. she's urging security officials to make sure agents know that d.c. residents are american citizens and should be treated as such. >>> it's a rare event at the u.s. supreme court, now there's video of an outburst inside the courtroom. still ahead what started this rant jean it could lead to big legal trouble. >>> major change for health insurance here in washington opinion we'll tell who you is now required to be covered. >>> heavy rain in california causing major problems for drivers. it's >>> advocates for the lesbian gay bi disease sexual and transgender community in arizona are applauding governor brewer. yesterday she vetoed a controversial bill that would allow some businesses in arizona, some business owners that is to refuse service to gay customers based on the business owner's religious beliefs. but there's concern that the economic damage in arizona has already been done by some estimates that state already lost millions of dollars in business investment because of the fall

commissioner norton? >> yeah. it was a very thorough presentation. i have to go through it again earlier when i have had a little sleep. but i really wanted to just appreciate the work and appreciate just how much more depth we are going into here. so this is great and i really appreciate this. thanks. yes. i want to say that i'm just going to be honest to say that i don't understand it all, but i like the direction it's going. because i think at when we look at and it's a scaffolding thing and we are building skills off skills we've already mastered and it's excellent. i think the questions that i have sort of is how are we adapting this for our english learners and also kids. how do we adapt this mapping and lesson plans to those populations, also. because i'm a little concerned with assessment and how our el's would do on the assessment also. then i feel like what i might need and i would contact you this on my own is a step by step as an example of this. i think this is going to be challenging to curriculum mapping and it's what a lot of teachers

it is kind of crazy, ralph fiennes, edward norton, it goes on and on.i have not seen this many stars in one place in a long time in berlin. but what is interesting as well, this film is much more mainstream. it is a big hollywood production. those usually do not find an opening night slot in berlin. this film is going up against the very serious and dark dramas that occupy the opposition for the gold and silver pairs. i think it is a great film to open. it is a confection of a film, a delight to watch and enjoy. it is a great way to kick off the festival. >> what about the jury this year? it is an important body. >> yes, it is interesting this year, they like to mix things up, some actors, christophe w altz, another actress, you have tony, one of the biggest stars from hong kong. and then you have the production side, barbara broccoli, who produces the james bond movies. and the jury president, james schamus, who founded focus features. that should make it interesting in the discussions in the coming days here to decide who will come away with the golde
