shelley shoppach hit a three-run homer. orioles got just five hits in the game. they scored just 29 runs during the ten losses in the row. sounds more and more like baltimore's favorite swimmer is ready for one more challenge. michael phelps told fans everybody goes through tough times. phelps has won a record 14 gold medals in his career and says he has one more olympic competition with him. after that he said "we'll see. ." >> we'll see about the forecast. pretty nice right now. we'll be right back. s. >>> time for a final check of the forecast. >> i think we're going to say dry. >> couple of showers over towards the eastern shore. your seven-day forecast look good evening, for monday. we might see a stray shower or thundershower mid afternoon or so. cool front pushing in. you will notice a more fall- like feel in the air. >> thanks a lot. that's all for us at 6:30. we'll be back tonight at 11:00 after a couple of big premiers. "desperate housewives" at nine. " brothers and sisters" at 10:00.

west virgia congresswoman shelley moore capito said at is something she and other members of the g.o.pwould weome. >> i'd like to see us to the common areas where wcan agree rather than reshaping. a more targeted refo is what i would prefernd what i'm looking for. so i'm going to be interesd to see how spific the president gets. i think he nds to be very specific and i thi people are going to be stening. >> reporr: the president also aimed to sway public opion. a sees of polls has shown falling supporfor his handling the health care issue-- and for proposalcirculating in congress. andr kohut is president of the pew rearch center. >> three quarterof the people we questioned this past weend saidhis issue is personally important to me, a 2/3 said, i don't understand it. and a lot them worry that the president has make clear whathese reforms mean for ordinary amerins, how they're going to bpaid for, and what the coequences are, both for the country and r individual cizens. and so far, the are a lot of questions out each of these points. >> repter: other poll resus have shown amerins still

the insurance companies which shelley mentioned and i agree with her, the biggest profit makers in thehole system, $0 on the table. we can do better. >> congresswoman pingree, you heard congressman connolly saying he wants to get to yes. so tell me, given the seemingly split, some say it's minor, some say it's major, between the speaker of the house nancy pelosi who's going to be speaking in a few minutes, i guess, and steny hoyer, a split over public option. how do you navigate to yes if that, indeed, is your goal? is it your goal, too? >> absolutely. i think we all want to get to yes. remember, i come from the state with senator olympia snowe who is visibly working with the white house to see if there are other options in the senate. i as well as anybody understand the importance of negotiating, the prorimportance of getting a final bill that allows us to move forward. i agree with a lot of things gerry says. things like making sure we negotiate with the pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring down the price of prescription drugs. that's essential to lowering the cost here. i do think

you have in here mary shelley's frankenstein a i think most americans can identify with those two literary figures. aside from harry potter, do we have that common dialog anymore? >> guest: we do have to some degree. books willecome popular and obviously there was a period when was the only person in america who had never read the davinci code so there are certain book the become bestsellers censor riders will become popular and they will, there will be the kind of conversations described among at least certain bodies of med. david foster wallace, there was such a great outpouring when he committed suicide because he had so many devoted readers and people were fascinated by his worknd his shorter pieces and looking forward to his nt novel so there was someone who brought a lot of peoe together. i can remember when kurd fun agn. died. i was tonished at how immediate, i thought he was more some of my generation buddies seems to have had lt been tohed a lot of life so there are writers like that. john updike's death obviously brought forth a lot of reflection by lot of people so there will be

we have had the opportunity to work together over the years and whe i was never in a classroom th shelleynever gotten a formal gracia does let me know how i am doing. that is for sure and i mt say i have learned a few things particularly when i was on the board watching shelley put that organization in place and really implement her vision and i think your legacy lives on and there and in so many other places but anyway it really is a great pleasure to be here. in my short time as commissioner of the food and drug adminstration i have become are of the tremendous opportunity that we n have to reshape our national approach to food safety and to nutrition and i know that there are many of you in this room who have spent many years, in some cases lifetimes, to make this moment possible and i can pledge to you that i will do my best to realize the opportunity of the momentand i recognize that success will depend on all of their working together. .. >> i understand she will be here tomorrow d i expect you'll be interested in hearing her thoughts. congress is engaged to have passed legistion to

shelley smith break it down how the usc receiving is going to adapt to its new quarterback. >> i talkedyesterday and they say about the same. the system is the same. the difference with aaron corp as you mentioned he is more mobile than barkley and tends to scramble more than throw it away. damian williams told me he has to pay more attention when he's running his routes so to what corp is doing and barkley's more of a rhythm type of passer and several of the players say there's virtually no difference they both have strong arms and know the system very well. >> so it looks like corp will get his first start as the chosen quarterback once again and pete carroll maintains it's a game-time decision and he broke his ankle in spring and was 4-4 in the opener as a back-up to barkley and more on who's winning the game, rece davis, pick'em. >> you know what they say about those who don't know history, they watch it repeat itself. last year after usc made a statement by beating ohio state the trojans turned around went on the road in the pac-10 and got beat by oregon state and we play a little

now i'd like to introduce representative shelley cap toe, the ranking member on the housing subcommittee of the financial services. mr. chairman. >> thank you, judy, and thank you all for being here today. what we're talking about of course, is our ideas on financial reform. my segment will be what about when these big firms are on the verge of collapse? what is your idea? well, i think one thing we know is that the bailout of failed firms that has become almost second nature is not the direction that we want to go. we have seen our government reward poor decision making, absorb enormous losses and then stick taxpayers with the bill with our constituents facing severe bailout fatigue, regulatory reform will finally put an end to this mentality of the government picking wincers and losers. yet the president's reform, i think, will actually institutionalize this concept only guaranteeing more bailouts in the future. firms must face the consequences of their decisions. we've called for a new chapter of the bankruptcy code that would be more suitable for unwinding, failed firms. moreover, th

quote of an old friend -- a wise and frugal government would restrain men from injuring one another, shelley them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread they have earned. this is the sum of good government. thomas jefferson, at his inaugural. but lincoln, 60 years later, had to remind the country again that you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. you cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. to me, this gets us back to what the core of the decision congress and the administration have to make. as we talk about these economic issues, i like to focus on what is american exceptional some? to me, american exceptional islam is in the phrase the pursuit of hat -- american exceptionalism is in that phrase the pursuit of happiness. it is not the government's role to guarantee every citizen happiness. [applause] it is to protect their life -- to protect their rights under our constitution to pursue happiness. when we pursue happiness in our family life, our bu

speaker who will speak today who will not speak on behalf of those seniors who, as my colleague, shelley berkley, just referenced, rely on social security. to support themselves. we anticipated that concern when we adopted the legislation relating to this subject. as a result of anticipating that, we said if there is not a cost of living increase, we will exempt approximately 3/4, actually 73%, of seniors from any premium increase. why? because we rightfully concluded, as many speakers on this floor have observed, that those seniors would be put under stress because of no cost of living increase, but having an increase in their premium. now ladies and gentlemen, i don't know how many of you go to sleep at night worried about whether ross perot can pay his premium, but this will freeze ross perot's basic premium from going up. this will affect every premium payer, including those who make individually $85,000 or more. and as a couple $170,000 or more. now the problem with doing that is not that we don't have some empathy for those folks, by the way, every one of us who votes on that bill
