back to us. >> reporter: only now sequoia is praying with them. >> makes me want to cry. >> reporter: allison morrow, 10 news. >>> a solemn ceremony marked the christening of a worship honoring a marine who sacrificed his life for his comrades. corporal jason dunham's mother smashed a bottle of champagne on this ship named after her son. three other marines are alive today because dunham covered an exploding grenade with his body in iraq in 2004. his mother and one of the men whose lives were saved said this is a perfect way to honor him. >> what it reminds me the most about is jason would think it was cool to have his name on a ship. as a military person, the meaning is definitely there. as a mom, i'm having a hard time because my son's not here. >> he's the reason i'm standing here in this interview. he's the reason i go home to my pregnant, beautiful wife and my 2-year-old daughter. and if it wasn't for him, they wouldn't -- they wouldn't even exist. wouldn't be here. >> sergeant hampton and the other two marines suffered burns and shrapnel wounds from the explosion. >>> if you ev

." >> the giant sequoia trees in california are in danger. because of hotter, drier weather, their roots aren't getting enough water. another problem is that the wildfire season is getting longer. experts say forest managers have to come up with a way to keep the trees alive as the climate changes. >> when it comes to technology, some kids have a special touch. >> we'll have their story, next. . begins with a weightless foundation . that starts off white... and self-adjusts to precisely match your skin tone. with soft, flawless coverage. how cool is that? revlon skin matching makeup. >>> there's a program that teaches kids basic computer skills, like typing and surfing the web. but as felipe reports, there's more here than meets the eye. >> seems like your typical computer class, right? but all these kids are actually legally blind. here at the jewish guild for the blind, a special saturday computer workshop is available to students who are visually impaired. >> the goal of this program is to make students more independent as far as doing res

the price to book value is compelling and we're starting to see green shoots turn more into the sequoias. >> every time i expect a pause, the market pauses and then goes up. >> the power of emotion is a very powerful thing. you' seen these markets rise strongly, like almost 50%, based on hope and belief that the recession is ending and greed. the fact that that we don't want to be left behind. it's gone very fast, very high in a short space of time. and meanwhile, earnings are down and revenues are down 15%. >> the expectation. i guess you think it's gone too far, too fast. >> back in march, opportunities were everywhere. we were very bullish. but now we need to be a little cautious. everyone is getting excited. everyone wants to get in now. it could be a tiny bit too late to just initiate positions now. i would rather see guys looking to get involved, buy on a pullback, not when we're getting multimonth high headlines and everyone is thinking they missed something. >> but what happens over at delta if the bull pak doesn't come until the start of next year? >> i think then we may see an

early 1960's, legislative accomplishments that have drawn the attentiol, the approval of the old sequoiasthe senate, he has established a reputation. of course, the senate is a more tolerant institution of its members than the public is. so his public -- joe is -- his public reputation is probably as low as it can be in the beginning of the 1990's. but yourook is called the last lion, and so the two of you it seems to me are documenting the roar mf the lion here largely toward the end of the book. talk about the campaign with mitt romney. >> yeah. well, the campaign with romney was very intense. ted faced by far the stiffest challenge of his life. the polls showed him actually down by a point at one point. at that point, labor rallied behind him in force. his consultants found a company that romney had arranged a takeover of and this company laid off all of its workers and it proved devastating. they put the workers on tv about how it felt to lose their jobs. and that was sort of a dagger blow to romney. he ended up losing 59-41, i believe. >> how did kennedy feel afterwards? >> lucky. ju

"power lunch" is coming up at the top of the hour, and we have bill griffith to give us a rundown. >> hello, larry. coming up as the fed meeting wraps up, we're wondering if we're at a turning point in the economy, and the markets. and whether or not the fed's statement will reflect that. larry, your favorite genre of music, hip-hop, we're looking at whether or not the hip-hop world is calling a bottom to this recession. we'll explain. and dennis kneale checks in live from another health care town hall meeting that will be going on today. we'll hear about the anger that's coming from that meeting and whether or not this is a real grass roots mov

the squadron leader of the sequoia 27 killed on impact to the ground. where things have shut down. the city has shut down. we're not kidding here. jon: chicago is closed? jane: the budget cuts there have forced the city really to tell all nonessential workers stay home today, we're not going to pay you so don't show up. that means no garbage pickup, most of the city offices are closed, libraries won't open up. steve brown is essential to us. he's on the job. explain to me here who is furloughed. >> well, it's basically all public employees, minus those that work for the fire, police department, and emergency services. you hit a lot of the majors. garbage isn't going to be collected today, senior centers are close. medical and health clinics run by the city are not open. and city hall is shut down. it affects all of those folks. jane: i hate to say this but if you're looking to the future, chicago may not be alone in this. i suspect there may be other cities that are heading towards this? >> no, this is an unfortunate trend likely to be headed to a city

carter -- a lot of missteps in his administration, one of which most famously was the sequoia -- the presidential yacht that from hoover until gerald ford had been used to court members of congress on an evening basis -- you got 10 or 15 of them on board, you sailed them down the potomac river, took them to mount vernon, watched them lower the flag and play taps, you got back on the boat, had drinks, went back up the river, it was a great time for the president to talk in an intimate setting with medication of congress. jimmy carter sold the boat. it was too much -- with the members of congress. jimmy carter sold the boat. it was too much of the imperial presidency. he also moved the congressional liaison office out of the west wing of the white house and into the congressional office building across the street which is essentially sending them to siberia. now, it's true, they've got more space but they lost prestige, they lost connection to the white house and that became quite clear in the administration. early in carter's administration, probably the most telling moment of his adm
