seared 6, 1944 is a day into many world war ii veterans and people throughout the world. it is the anniversary of an invasion when allied troops stormed the beaches of normandy in france. many american, british, and french troops landed. more than 9000 americans died in that battle. the sacrifice was incredibly important. it was the beginning of the end of the not to control of europe and world war two. >> a queue role in preserving world heritage. -- another key role in preserving world heritage. arthen you think of the museum, you probably do not think of 3000-year-old exclusively carved figures. maybe you should. they have led the way in preserving ancient artifacts from western civilization. >> they were in varying states of conditions. >> she is the director of conservation technical research. since 2006, she has been working quietly for safety reasons to see the ivories. it is a collaboration that includes the university of delaware and the u.s. state department. >> asking if i would go to baghdad because they had badly damaged ivories or some of the greatest treasu

. >> reporter: kmart and sears sell her stoneware. they tell us, quote, that they're considering next steps. her $16 million empire could keep losing castles. so, she's hired judy smith, a public relations crisis manager, whose success is the inspiration behind the abc hit show "scandal." on walmart facebook page, posting, you drop paula. and i drop walmart. the annual paula deen cruise has added a second departure. and advance sales of her latest cookbook are through the roof. so, about those words. the words that she used in the deposition in the lawsuit against her. paula deen says those aren't her. george? >> okay, we'll see what happens next. thanks, steve. >>> we're turning, now, to wimbledon. the opening days, full of drama in a way we have never seen before at centre court. stunning upsets by the day for some of the biggest names in the sport. nadal, federer, sharapova, all doing what we're doing now, watching the action, after they were all knocked out by unknowns. superstars all. roger federer -- >> roger federer. is out. >>

many of you know that landmark building as the sears tower. chad, i want to bring you back to the discussion. i know the building well. i used to live in chicago. it is very dramatic pictures when you see that. obviously people pretty afraid when they saw that. which states will get hit the hardest today? >> looks like the mid-atlantic, anywhere from south of new york city into philadelphia, d.c., baltimore and i believe probably the most severe in raleigh and the tide water, virginia, even into wilmington and that's going to be the area where it is going to heat up a lot. the weather did slide through the northeast. we had u.s. open delay because of that weather right there just right through marion and moving out to sea and there is more weather behind it. they'll clean this up and at some point in time but d.c., a line of weather go through this morning and more weather to the west of you that's going to roll by. i believe that line may have taken a lot of the humidity and pushed it away for you. that's why i am thinking the most severe wea

december 14 was a day of a searing sadness, but april 17 was a day of shame. you have heard here but i believe the american people feel, in action is unacceptable, not only because of the 26 beautiful lives that were lost on that day, but also because of of the almost 5000 who have perished since then. they may not have been in the headlines, but the sadness for their families and loved ones and friends and neighbors is as palpable and important as it is for anyone. so i think today we should make no mistake. we had 55 votes in april. 55 votes ordinarily is a majority. we are going to win with 60 votes, but the 55 votes reflect the 9%, and it is a bipartisan 90%. there is nothing republican or democrat about saving americans from gun violence. that calls will be bipartisan and it will enable us to continue to stand up and speak out. make no mistake, the nra and special interests have been the schoolyard bullies here. they have ruled. six months ago, this issue was thought to be untouchable. now our calls is unstoppable. we stood up to the schoolyard bullies. w

it's a beautiful portrait he had taken at sears. we can appoint someone until lautenberg's term would be up which is november 2014 or you fill the seat sooner during the already scheduled november 2013 gubernatorial election. i'll tell you the one option he's not going to take, that weird october special election. you know the one that is going to happen three weeks before the general? i know he's not going to do that because in 2009 governor chris christie commented spoafl on what he would do when he was asked -- and this is true if frank lautenberg died. >> i think any responsible would call for a special election that would cost $10 million. >> jon: of course they wouldn't. a responsible governor wouldn't do that. the only kind of governor who would call something like that would be one of the least responsible ones. i'm looking at you, the honorable [bleep]. that's right. are you allowed to do that? so, why do we bother putting asterisks and things in the name. he is the finger. anyway, what did governor chris christie choose. >
