o'leary delivered his last letter. after 42 years on the job, co-workers, administrators, even the mayor helped him celebrate his last day of sorting and delivering mail. asked what he'll do with all his free time, o'leary told us it's not up to him. >> my wife has got a lot of stuff for me to do. she has -- she doesn't have a list. she's got a novel. honey-do novel. >> even more remarkable, in 2010 o'leary was honored for driving a million miles without an accident. i don't think he's going to get much rest in his retirement. >> hopefully something on the list is take a vacation. >> one quick programming note. because of the giants game at 7:00, "dateline" will aerate:ir to 10:00. >> hope to see you at 6:00. good night. good night.

lizzy o'leary joining me from washington. good morning to you. who exactly are the long-term unemployed? >> reporter: a term important for people to understand and what it means. overall, about 12.7 million americans are people who count at unemployed, they don't have work but are looking for work. when you go inside that number, 5.4 million americans have been unemployed for six months or longer. that's 42% of the unemployed. we've never seen a number like that, not in any previous recession. this is a big intractable blob when you look at all the graphs, it's stiff that 5.4 million and when you look at it over the months. right? this is the past five months. the beginning of the year. 5.5. it dipped down a little bit, but you still have more or less a straight line if you continue with the trend and that shows you that despite some gains that we make in hiring, you see some people get hired, it's generally around the edges. people unemployed while find it easier to get a job, still have contacts. folks out six months or longer, it's much harder

o'leary. july 1st is the deadline for the completion of the rule making and the implementation of the provision switch i built into the 2010 law for video accessability. can you give us an update as to where the two industries are in terms of complying with that? >> speaking on behalf of hearst television, we are well in hand. our implementation will be fully complete and i'm very pleased with how that has proceeded and on behalf of the nab member stations the same can be said. >> mr. o'leary? >> i would say effectively the same thing in response to your question. >> and what was that? >> that we are working towards a compliance and also pleased with the way the process is going. >> is it so important that the deaf and the blind do have access in the 21st serve re? that they are able to use all of their god-given abilities to fully participate and so it really is very, very important that we get the full cooperation and we thank you for your positive comments about the process, and i thank you

>> andrea o'leary. i almost want to say ditto to all that because basically that's what it comes down to. all these children you heard speaking earlier i don't think they really care what they have to play on, just as long as it's nice, clean, maintained and they get access to it. that's really what they want. we can maintain these fields if we want to. that's the real issue here. we want to maintain golf courses. we have dedicated gardeners out there to keep that grass at that exact height and density and everything and they don't talk about gopher holes all that much. so why can't we do that for our play fields? there's no reason for this. but my big issue here is there are a lot of places where the small groups can come and play but they're underiletused. my neighborhood -- underutilized. do we get anybody there? not a one. we're still open for it. i'm really concerned about the dark skies. i come from a part of the country where other than africa the skies are the darkest there and this is just such

o'leary, in your testimony, you spoke about your ultraviolet service. my understanding is that it's basically a new way for consumers to be able to watch movies through the internet rather than having to purchase a dvd that they can watch on a dvd player, and i find the service very interesting. i have questions. on the ultraviolet website, you indicate that customers can stream content to almost internet-connected device and that they can also download digital copies when they don't have good internet access. can ultraviolet customers download a digital copy on to any device or certain compatible devices? >> my understanding, congressman is that it has to be a device that's registered with ultraviolet service and that downloading is a component of it. i think in the first phase, the emphasis as your question highlight side in streaming, but they will have the ability to download it on to different devices. that they're registered with. >> i just thought it was unclear on the website, based on the advertising it seemed to me they could download the cont

o'leary, thank you for being here today. look forward to your comments. >> thank you, chairman wald on and ranking member eskew and members of the committee. i want to thank you all for the opportunity to testify on behalf of the motion picture association and the member companies and i want to acknowledge and thank my colleagues on the panel. i am honored to be with such a distinguished group here this morning. whether you are in a theater, at home, on the road, or choose to download and view when you want, content creators, consumer electronics companies, and content distributors are working together to provide new, innovative pgs 0s for audiences and easily access high quality content. we welcome this opportunity to testify and work with this subcommittee as you consider appropriate policies for the future of video. this is an important discussion and we're pleased to be a part of it. like all successful businesses we're driven by the desire to create and meet consumer demand for the products that we produce. we're listen

cnn aviation regulation correspondent lizzie o'leary takes a look at the fallout from the long wait. at the capital where congress couldn't pass a long-term transportation plan. and you don't have to go far to see the roads that americans drive on aren't in great shape. just nine miles away, this bridge is missing big chunks of concrete. it's 45 years old, the average age of most bridges in the u.s. >> you can see the staining of the piers. you can see where some of the concrete has popped away and it's exposed the reinforcing steel. >> reporter: nick roper is in charge of maintaining bridges in northern virginia. this bridge, like one in eight across the country, is structurally deficienc structurally deficient. that means it can still safely carry passengers, but meeds a major overhaul. >> the longer you way, the more costly it becomes and the more extensive the repairs come. hopefully we won't be waiting 25 years for this bridge. >> waiting is probably the one thing every commuter is familiar with. americans spend 4.2 billion hours a year stuck in traffic. this wait that we're doi

o'leary was the lieutenant in charge that night. he provided an extremely thorough tour of the listed -- mission district station. i got to see every nook and cranny of the station. sgt rogers outfitted us with the bullet proof vest, which we were very grateful and felt very safe in. that bit of reinforcement, considering the vast number of calls and responses. we visited, we rode along -- the first car was with officers kefvivin and adam, and we rode with them for the first part of the evening. we finished off the evening with officers michael and armand. we got a very good feel for the mission district in many ways. the officers pointing out various aspects of the community that have a large number of calls and require intensive attention from their standpoint. among the many calls we responded to, one was domestic violence. another was a mother in a child custody issue. her child was at a hospital. and other mind was the san francisco general hospital on a stabbing. there was a physical altercation on long three men that night. -

today, francis o'leary running his route the last time after 42 years.nored by the mayor on eve of retirement. he started his postal career in september of 1969, and he has been on that same route for 38 of those 42 years. what's even more remarkable, back in 2010, he was honored for driving over a million miles, without one single accident. that's stellar. that's the equivalent of 334 cross-country trips. and oh, by the way, a brentwood carrier is being honored as well. 82-year-old phillip guleon is having his 75th birthday. they are throwing him a bash. he says he has no plans to retire. >> he is 82? >> and looking good, making the move. >> that postal carrier would become part of the family if he delivers year after year. >> may get tired walking to the mailbox. >>> meteorologist christina loren, let's have some of your humor. >> temperatures are warmer than yesterday at this time. cooler at the coast. a live look at oakland, you can see nice, clear sky. saw the sun beating over christie smith. it is a hot one out there. seek shade, seek hydration as

lizzie o'leary has been following the case and joining us live from capitol hill.ays of drunk driving legislati legislation. could this have nationwide impact? >> reporter: it has the potential to set a lot of precedent. one of the things going on here, when you use the drunk driving met fa for, think back to the early days of anti-drunk driving campaigns, drunk driving education, and that is sort of the model that a lot of educators and also people in the transportation department are trying to use here. it's no secret this has been a real sort of focus of ray lahood, the secretary of transportation. he's trying to draw attention to distracted driving, one in ten fatalities is caused by someone who is distracted. you have about 600,000 people on the road with a hand held device at some point. so this is sort of part of their education campaign, but it's also the reason we use the drunk driving anal si, they're trying to cast this as a public health issue, not so much an issue of government regulation but an issue of public health and safety. >> you wanted to find

lizzie o'leary joins us from washington.erienced first hand the dangers of distracted driving. give us a reality check. yeah. i went out into the national advanced driving simulator out in iowa. one of the things they do is test how long it takes for a driver to be distracted by a text or something even simple as a bee in the car. it took about two seconds for me to more or less rear end the car, the fictitious car in front of me. a typical text is four seconds. that shows how small the margin of error is here. the massachusetts case is landmark because it brings up this question of what can be legislated against, what can be ruled as criminal behavior. what is, frankly, maybe stupid, dangerous but not the government's role? it's been this battle about regulating that. 38 states have laws that ban texting while driving. a smaller number, about 31, restrict cell phone use for new drivers so there's a real tension here between safety and also the reach of government. >> the interesting thing about this massachusetts case, ther

joining me now is lizzie o'leary.ge problem, assuming all goes well and they vote this bill and send it to the president and he signs it, is it enough? >> as you said, this is a handshake deal. they've gone a thousand days without having a big fix here. and this is hardly the five-year overhaul that was john boehner's number one priority going into this congressional session. it's a two-year deal. it's not likely to make a huge dent in the problems in roads and bridges that everybody drives on. and we took a little trip around town to show you. we're starting here at the capitol where congress couldn't pass a long-term transportation plan. and you don't have to go far to see the roads that americans drive on aren't in great shape. just nine miles away, this bridge is missing big chunks of concrete. it's 45 years old. the average age of most bridges in the u.s. >> you can see the staining of the piers. you can see where some of the concrete has popped away. >> i see rebar under there, yeah. >> reporter: nic roper is in
