but that didn't stop the power company from reenergizing those power lines this morning. >> it started arking through the cars and once the tires were on fire, it spread throughout the cars and at this point, they are both burned to a crisp. g he and his wife, his grandmother, and cats got out safe. now, they are furious with pepco. >> honestly, i'm very upset. i think they created a very dangerous life threatening situation by turning on power lines. >> i tried to get some answers from a pepco employee that showed up to investigate. >> i would prefer not to say anything. >> you don't want to say anything? >> this could have killed someone. >> pepco is still investigating. andrew has his own theory about what happened. >> they may have rushed things more than they should. >> in silver spring, kristin fisher, 9news now. >> it is just that lapse in communication that has pepco customers frustrated. we heard countless stories of people being told their power is back on, only to be sitting in the dark, or people told they have no power despite the fact it's been back on for hours. andrea m

and i think what we need to do now is reenergize the conversation and what reenerg e reenergizes thatlost and how many more lives we could save by garnering up support and amplifying the messages here, so that we all know, we can't let this happen again. >> julie, earlier this week, a section of the quilt was displayed in the east wing of the white house. i think we have a picture. white house photog pete sousa took a picture of the president as he paused to take in this quilt. have you talked to the president and what was his reaction? >> i haven't personally had a chance to speak with the president, but we all need to recognize the fact that the reason the international aids foundation has made it into this country is that this president lifted the ban on hiv-positive people traveling into the united states. that's a very big step. and he's been quite committed to seeing that we have an aids blueprint for this country. and he's invested, of course, internationally in petfar as well. >> do you think generationally we need to get more serious about this, because four in ten new hiv in

even if it is for 5, 10 minutes it can help you reenergize and reabsorb the capacity. >> repoot. >> youalso say interestingly take a nap or shower. >> very, very counter intuitive to take a nap but that's one of the greatest things. we know the benefits of meditation. when you are living over wired it's really hard to step back and get that perspective. so a nap is a fantastic way to give yourself that reenergizing boost. >> and a shower. >> you know it's so funny. think about how many times you have had great brainstorms in the shower because you are relaxed and you often come up from sleeping. it's a wonderful way of rejuvenating some of the work environments like zap pos and youtube have nap pods. >>> then simplify. that's kind of summary of all of it. >> absolutely. it is so straight forward it's almost silly. we need to take a couple minutes and figure out what are the things we can delete from e-mail what are the commitments we can cut off to stay really focused. >> you have more of the tips in your book over wired. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> 45 after

we're only taking it down so we can reenergize another section of a neighborhood. it's not going to be like it's down for days. if you lose your power, it will be briefly. >> reporter: maybe an hour or two? >> right. >> reporter: or minutes? >> right. >> reporter: you've talked to a couple of people in the neighborhood here. what's the vibe? >> you know, they're understand that. i would be frustrated if i was in this situation. but they are pleasant. they are enduring. and we certainly do appreciate their patience. >> reporter: happy to see the crews are here. >> yes, they are. >> reporter: dan, thank you so much. tony, you can see, it is definitely a process. and now we're at that part of the storm, four days in after the fact, they got really monumental task ahead of them. we're working as fast and efficiently and safely as they can. back to you in the studio. >> holly, i have to say, this provides real insight. thank you very much for that. do appreciate it. >>> it was not just the lights and the ac. friday night's storm knocked out power to a verizon facility i

and when they reenergized the power lines, it started arcing through the cars and we spoke to a pepco inspector yesterday afternoon. and told him of the situation. >> reporter: so they knew this tree had fallen. >> they knew it had fallen and they knew that there were power lines directly in contact with the cars. >> reporter: crow anyone, his wife -- cronin, his wife and 84- year-old mother rushed out of the house rescuing their four cats, thankfully they made it out safely but it could have been much worse. >> there were power lines lying right on the ground down the street. if there was somebody on the power lines when they came on they could have been electrocuted right away. i'd rather they be safe. >> that was delia goncalves reporting. meanwhile, maryland governor martin o'malley just held a news conference in order to update the public on efforts to restore power. thousands of marylanders have been suffering without electricity. the governor says the outage has become a health issue for thousands of residents. >> we are now heading into probably the most dangerous part of this

so she was totally reenergized to do more for diplomacy because she knew it would make a difference. and i father used to talk about, i'm trying to build a generation of peace for the american people. and that's what they did. i think she's trips were incredibly important and we did have a generation of peace. and it was the foundations laid in the '50s and late '60s and '70s, thanks to an incredible team who believed in them, supported them, advised. i thank all of you -- there's so many here today from the vice presidential years all the way to the end. you're all part of the story. it's a great american story and i'm just so proud of what was about accomplishinged in those years. >> thank you. i want to thank everyone for coming tonight. thank our extraordinary panel who could not only -- they've lived history. and they're very generous to come tonight and share with us some of their stories and their memories of some very momentous times in the life of our country and very consequential times in the life of our country. and to help everybody learn a little bit more about just wha

signs of things slowing down or people losing stamina in fact i saw signs of people really of being reenergized and people really being committed to the long term sacrifices that that's needed for their struggle for democracy. and only time will tell i guess how how long they will be able to keep struggling but i did not see any signs of people giving up i saw signs of people reinvigorated you've also written about police making little distinction between children and adults can you tell us more about. from what i could see there is absolutely no distinction between civilians of any kind the police what i saw happening and protests and demonstrations is the police arbitrarily firing tear gas canisters not as a method of crowd dispersal but firing direct firing them directly at crowds and so whoever ends up being in the way and that getting hit whether that's a thirteen year old boy or a fifteen year old or or a woman or a man it's they're being used as as ammunition these tear gas canisters and sound grenades as well as birdshot not as a method of crowd dispersal. you are in my earpiece just fe

cities many protesters gathered to regroup and reenergize the movement. others have to look bring its message after the encampments have been wiped out. or not as visible but that doesn't mean that we're not working just as hard as we were before behind the scenes the most recent protests kicked off in philadelphia the city of brotherly love consider this is like a convention and people here are delegates for their occupy groups and i have heard a number that there are about ninety two different occupy groups represented here this is the five day gathering for occupy wall street protesters the first national gathering in the entire country since the inception of this movement a gathering in philadelphia on independence day because they say they want to reclaim their dependents their interdependence from social and economic injustice that they see in this country this gathering is a little bit about defining what what our strategies are we really are we really about marching against police you know against police repression are we really focusing on the bi

he said he showed a utility worker yesterday that he claimed the lines were somehow reenergize this morning and soon after he saw the cars burning. >> it's definitely upsetting and stressful. but everybody is okay. >> the rest of his neighborhood remains a mess. the county crew has been plugging away at the falling trees. the men have been the work since friday night and they're tired and frustrated. >> we have been running nonstop and we haven't even put a dent in it. >> reinforcements continue to arrive. >> it took us about two and a half days to get here. >> this crew just arrived from louisiana. they report to the fairgrounds staging area for instructions. they will be working in some very frustrated communities. >> have a little patience with it because you can't just flip a switch. >> he says that he wonders if just a little patience would be a good thing. >> i think they are under too much pressure to get the power of too soon. >> you can see the tree through what was the window. the second cars on the other side, it is so flat and you can barely see it. a spokesperson is afternoon s

we have this machine set to run in 20 seconds, disengage for 15 seconds and then reenergize for 15 seconds, doctor would come in and examine the condemned to see if there is any signs of life or death. this is the head piece that would be used. if you notice, there is a cable here. this would actually go into this apparatus. the head is entirely shaved as well as both legs from the knee down and they're actually wearing shorts. there would be a sponge such as this. it will be salt brine solution that will be removed, placed into the helmet and go on to the head. also, there would be sponges that will be removed and placed around both ankles. this is a shroud that would actually cover the headpiece. you don't have an option whether to wear the blindfold or not. it's mandatory. the flow is by cable from the base of the chair into the headpiece and both ankles. and it would complete the circuit. this is the gurney that we use for the lethal injection. there are two iv lines come to the portal in the wall. one line would go to the left arm with the right being the backup. this is the room to w

they literally will fix the of poles and reset them and strength low wire and reenergize. it sounds simple but there are some jobs that literally take all day and they will work 12, 14, 16-hour days. >> you have been very clear and not telling people when they will be getting your electricity back. but now you are going to start doing it on a limited basis. >> where we have the crews on the scene and they can identify the problem and they know they can fix it by a certain time, then we will provide that information to customers. but we are being very deliberate. we have to have absolute high confidence that we are going to say what we are going to do and meet the delivery. >> thank you for joining us. we want to tell you, too, we heard a lot of nice stories from these contractors about people feeding them and saying hi and thank you. we did just year a pretty bad story -- one of the contractors said he was working out there and somebody shot fire works out them. that is plain and simple not safe and not appreciated. they are out there working as hard as they can and that a

this off season and new york knicks, longstanding favorite team here in the city and jeremy lin reenergizedt injured, missing the playoffs. and this off season theyed him to get resigned and see if they gets any offers. a chance to match it. the houstons rockets will pay piem 25 million dollars over three years, 15 million dollars after the third year and what caramelo anthony and teammates referred to as quote, unquote, a ridiculous contract. that's how absurd this money is for jeremy lin. knicks have until tuesday night whether they want to match that contract and he's a fantastic player, but 25 million dollar player? we'll see, the guy makes 500 million dollars worth of money, but the notice on-- >> people love him. >> they love this guy. is he worth 25 million dollars? we'll see and the other wrinkle in the story. >> harris: and with somebody who they thought was worth the cash, all day long the associated press wires filled with pictures of jason kidd not for a good reason. >> no, a 39-year-old veteran supposed to come in ear and play the same position as jeremy lin perhaps be the back

certainly when we talk about the economy, we have to talk about reintroduce -- reenergize the economydo we get people working again and all of that. if we get people to working again, they pay taxes, one. they are also able to deal with or the health care is out there as well. so the economy itself, i mean, i think that's about the most disingenuous assumption i have seen to date. >> look, fellows, i never said that the economy is solely at the whim of the affordable care act. but we can just sit here and trade falsehoods back and forth. to say it has contributed nothing, i'm sorry, guys, that's false. >> if you watched the debate and the interview right now, republicans are arguing that the affordable care act is at the heart of what's wrong with the economy right now. that's just not true. it's not a partisan debate. it's just not true. >>> coming up, we'll talk to senator jim demint from south carolina. co-founder of the senate tea party caucus. >>> and still ahead on "starting point," if you're planning a wedding, there's a new guide to help you, funded by your tax dollars and wri

some downed lines were caught between a tree and cars when the wires became reenergized. the homeowner says the cars suddenly caught fire. he and his family ran out of the house and away from the cars and called 911. >> i think that maybe they are under too much pressure to rush to get power on too soon, so they are not, you know, taking as much safety precautions as they should. >> no one was hurt. and drew says the fire department did do a good job. some of the siding melted, but the house is okay. >>> the d.c. firefighter's union wants to know who ordered an engine company out of service and told them to fill up a private pool in northeast. it was done as the mayor was declaring a state of emergency in the city. fox 5's paul wagner has the story. >> less than 24 hours after the storm roared through the city leaving tens and thousands without power, someone apparently at the highest level of the fire department ordered engine 30 out of service and told the sergeant in command to go to a home on 55th street northeast and fill its aboveground pool. a man who lives across

he notified pepco, but this morning pepco reenergized those power lines. >> it started arking through the cars which initially set the tires of the car on fire and once the tires were on fire, it spread throughout the cars and at this point, they are both burned to a crisp. >> this was exactly what and andrew has been afraid of. he and his wife, his grandmother, and four cats all got out safe. now they are furious with pepco. >> honestly, i'm very upset. they created a very dangerous, life threatening situation by turning on power lines. >> especially since andrew says he told pepco about the downed lines about the storm. >> we spoke to pepco inspector yesterday afternoon and told him of the situation. >> montgomery county fire crews responded within minutes. it took crews twenty minutes to deenergize the lines. >> if there is somebody near those power lines, they could have been lek tri cuted right away. >> i tried to get answers from a pepco employee who showed up to investigate. >> i prefer not to say anything. >> this could have killed someone. both montgomery fire and pepco are i

. >> redskins nation has been reenergized, thanks to this guy.g3 equals excitement, which equals hope. >> that's how excited i am. >> i'm so excited. i have been waiting to see him for a while now. i can't wait to see him lead our redskins to the playoffs. maybe get us the super bowl. >> i hope to get his autograph, give him some wisdom. >> not just excited to see rg3. the rest of the group, too. >> i'm excited to see rg3 and his receivers and london fletcher and the rest of the gang. i want to see everybody and i want to see them at their best. >> all right. that's great stuff. each friday is also high school football night. it's our high school football show. we want you to go online and vote for the theme music to the show. go to d.c..highschoolsports.net. golden sound studios in kensington. fall football also means we are looking for campus correspondents to help us cover the season. you can shoot highlights, pep rallies, interviews, be a 9 campus correspondent to help. so how about that? a sermon right off the bat there. i guess the doors of

it's -- it got reenergized this morning. we'll have to watch northern maryland.ennsylvania today really under the gun later for some severe weather. moderate risk. going up north today, watch out. damaging wind gusts, large hail, maybe even an isolated tornado. slight risk of severe weather even covers our area for a stray storm that could pop up and be strong to severe. midday all right. then this afternoon and even tonight overnight could be a few showers and storms that pop. i think a better chance we'll see some thunderstorms tomorrow and again on saturday afternoon. so yellow alert today for the heat. a hundred degrees. the stray storm. yellow alerts tomorrow and saturday. thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours. mid-90s tomorrow. low 90s saturday. by the way tonight, low 75 to 80. the fans, ac going to be humming overtime. sunday looks to be 90 without a thunderstorm and upper 80s early just week, still a bit -- owe early next week, still a bit unsettled. monika samtani, are you in an unusually happy mood? >> a hundred degrees and we lost all that

economic perspective, i don't think that fed policy at this point is going to be successful in reenergizingom a capital market perspective, i think it encourages taking on risk. >> katie nixon, thank you. >>> after the break, we're going to go out to aurora, colorado, and the press conference that has been expected all hour is about to begin. >>> this is mayor steve hogan of aurora, colorado. let's listen in as the press conference gets under way. >> so obviously there are no words that can express the intensity of this tragedy. our hearts are broken as we think about the families and friends of the victims of this senseless tragedy. really one thing -- i hope people can keep -- this is the act apparently of a very deranged mind. this is a safe city and a safe state and a safe country. and we need to recognize that we can't allow people that are aberrations of nature to take away the joys and freedoms that we enjoy. and, again, for the victims and their families, they should know that president obama called mayor hogan this morning and then called me. i think his words are the same. there's

. >> greta, last week's supreme court decision on obamacare seems to have reenergized the tea party movementn their fight against the healthcare law. freedom works, a national grassroots organization, that works with local tea party groups, spent the weekend trying to rally their troops, creating a war room and issuing a call to action plan for the fourth of july. >> are we going to do this, guys? >> yeah! [cheers and applause] >> americans will be gathering to celebrate american independence. let's make them think again what that means, what that meant then, what it means now. maybe we can use this as a recruiting tool to get more people to join our movement, whether they're tea partiers or not. if they disagree with this decision, if they want to get involved, this is the moment to do that. i think we have an opportunity to do just that. >> that lesson that we've learned over and over again since the beginning of the tea party is don't count on somebody else to fix this problem. don't wait for somebody in d.c. to make the best decision. we got to do it from the bottom up. >> as i compare t

were significant strides being made right now, right in front of our faces, and it was time to reenergizeaid it best in your opening paragraph in this never has substantial progress and equal rights treatment been more at risk than in this presidential contest. john fugelsang who is in with us today made a really great point that here is dick cheney a couple of weeks ago talking about how proud he is to have a gay daughter who is married and then he was campaigning last night with mitt romney who would take that right away. >> fund-raising for the man who has promised to pass a ban -- >> how does that square matthew? >> it doesn't at all. that's the disconnect. especially for people interested in equality and the rights of their lgbt friends and family members. >> you are right -- by virtue of his unique position of the president, his endorsement is not merely rhetoric, his statement is enormous and has the power to move millions. and we have already seen that in polling, haven't he? >> we have seen it in polling and support by a number -- nearly all of the democratic leadership. and that

a time to reflect on the past, a time to reenergize the future into greengages with those who know our country must choose a new direction. there is no other time in our nation's history that the champions of limited government have been so needed them right now. i thank you for heating our nation's call. i have great hope for this country and it is reflected in a conversations -- a conversation i had a few weeks ago. a young girl who joined us at a meeting came up to me, 6 years old, and she said, mr. gardner, i am worried about our country and i just want to know what i can do to help. a six-year old girl who wants to know what she can do to help our country. it is our obligation, those of us in this room, to make sure we are helping her by giving the right thing this november and making the choice for the direction of this country. a choice that is more freedom, a choice that adheres to our constitution, a choice that says we, this room, know how to better manage our lives, our families, and our businesses, better than any government ever could.

and today, the national strategy has three and decorated our efforts and reenergized our communitiesunder a unifying set of goals. and in a short period of time, we have demonstrated progress on the national strategies for three key goals. in particular, each of the goals by strong science and solid evidence of what works best. we have the benefit of the world's leading scientists and researchers at the national institutes of health. they and other researchers across the u.s. and the world have contributed to many scientific breakthroughs that provide us with the knowledge and tools to and fees. the national strategies first goal is to reduce new hiv infections because after all, this is a preventable disease. by the year 2015, we seek to lower the number of new infections by 25%. we plan to do this by reducing the hiv transmission rate and increasing the percentage of people living with hiv who know zero saturdays. to reach these targets as well as support them alert global lessers, to reduce hiv, nih continues to invest in cutting-edge prevention research related to vaccine and mic

and we have to reenergize the men and women of the department to recognize that's what you serve for.ing. we can fix the off-duty employment. we can work on better salary and benefits. but it all starts when police officers get hired with higher standards which we did a year ago and they get promoted and train with higher standards which we're in the process of now. i've seen this change before. i've been a change agent four times in three different at this point in times. it takes time. your point is well made. but it can be done. >> superintendent ronal serpas. thank you for your time this morning. appreciate it. >> come on down and get a beignet. >> still ahead this morning on "starting point," we are getting a first look at dramatic tape showing a killer whale biting a trainer and dragging that trainer underwater during a show at sea world. it happened in san diego. we have details on that straight ahead. we're back in just a moment. an accident doesn't have to slow you down. with better car replacement available only with liberty mutual auto insurance, if your car's totaled, we g

and i think it's just another bad mark that's going to reenergize people to hate the banks and not trust to make it. that's why i think it's important to simplify the banking side and let the investment bank trading side do its own thing and not be part of something that has to be supported by governments. >> sandy weeshs have to slip in another break. hopefully we'll get to talk a little politics. i might want to talk about regulators themselves, tim geithner and others. >> let's get down to the new york stock exchange. jim, where do you want to go? pick your poison. >> i'd like to talk a little bit of the upbeat. your interview with caterpillar was incredible. and if your stock's been hammered, your stock rallies here because it's not as bad as you think. if your stock was not prepped for any shortfall and let's talk about exhibit a apple, then your stock gets hammered. it was all about who fell and what shareholders had given up and it turns out it was wrong to give up. that's the story of today's earnings. >> it's been pretty stunning watching some of the big surprises coming if, thi
