funds so we have some folks doing that in the audience as well, so as i said, we are a science-based organization, everything we do a rooted in a rich foundation in the science, and so for the past decade in fact, every couple of years, we produce a document called the state of the evidence, janet gray has been the primary author of the last two -- is it two or three, two editions plus the one we're working on right now which will update a lot of that on our website in particular, we're planning to unveil some exciting stuff in the next year, and with that, we try to connect the dots between the environmental exposures and breast cancer, we look at the peer reviewed literature, all of that rich scientific stuff and janet gray turns that into information that we can all read at various levels, and from there, we kind of translate it into presentations like this one, into policy needs and into tips on our website so we use that scientific foundation to do a lot of different things. i want to talk always about some of the themes that emerge pr the literature because that helps us unders

and talking about doing a study of exposures among women firefighters in particular, and so we have some members of that team talking about that here, sharl patton is back there, give a wave, and did rachel step out already? and rachel thought she was going to give a wave but she had to step out to go to another meeting, from the breast cancer fund, we have my two science leaders, [inaudible] and janet gray, so science questions galor, they can handle them all, policy questions, we'll have to deflect some of those to nancy for another time, so what i'm going to present today is what we call our healthy home and healthy world tours, i'll talk a little bit about who the breast cancer fund is and then we're going to walk through kind of the rooms in your home talking about tips for avoiding exposures that are linked to breast cancer and i will talk a little bit about the different chemicals, where they're found, things you can do to avoid them and also some policies, and then we'll kind of go beyond the home to talk about the kinds of exposures that might be not within our control in the ho

there is some patchy fog in some neighborhoods.et through most of the day today dry. increasing clouds with a chance for rain tonight. rain showers likely tonight. temperatures will drop back into the upper 40's. a high temperature of 52 or 53 on tuesday. a chance for rain mostly in the morning. we will stay in the 50's all the way through the weekend. >> 41 degrees at the airport. >> the ravens offense puts up some big numbers against the oakland raiders. >> here is a look at last night's winning maryland lottery numbers. >> time to get to your answers to our water cooler question of the day. >> this morning we asked, will you still go out after your thanksgiving meal, or will you skip seconds for early holiday shopping? >> keep sending us those responses. we will read more and the next hour. >> good morning. ravens beat the raiders on sunday at home. they set a record for most points scored in a game. they just demolish the raiders on a sunday afternoon when they paid tribute to veterans. there was a lot to cheer about. joe flacc

you will be in for some big delays trying to get through. there is a backup already metering lights are on, let's go back to the desk. >>> and breaking news out of daily city where dozens of people have been forced to evacuate. this is a huge problem, flooding, water and mud, this is a look overhead from news chopper 2, you can tell but that's mud out in the street. we have new information on the damage this has caused and some new information, sarah? >> this is a water-main break and it you take a look behind me, this is four long city blocks that the water had to panhandle up where chopper two is. that is how far away we are from where this water-main is and we are quite a distance and it picked up a lot of debris along the way . there was some sort of pipes bursting at hillside park and we have dramatic pictures of water gushing down the hillside. it happened at 4:30 this morning and it seems crews do have a break and they have a handle on it nowment he says it happened when i was 30 years old but there was a big rain storm which clogged

we had some prob mine -- had some minor problems on the bridge.his commute is backed up for a 30-minute plus delay getting into san francisco. here's mark. >>> hi there, sal. good morning to you. we're off to a quiet, cool start. no raindrops just yet. it looks like we're looking at mount tam and and a few clouds out there. we've been cooling off, the temperature dropped nearly 20 degrees. you can see some rain and snowshowers out to the east. but this is what we're watching up to the north. in fact, here is a live doppler sweep now beginning to move into the northern portions of mendocino county. right now it's pretty cold out there. san francisco 54 and livermore reporting 52 degrees at last check. here is the cold weather system responsible for the drop. as far as temperatures for today, mainly in the mid-50s to lower 60s. we'll be tracking showers later on this afternoon and a slight chance of a thunderstorm today, maybe a better chance for tomorrow. here is the updated forecast model along with the forecast at 8:00 this morning. partly cloudy

this data had already started, some companies, some entrepreneurs develop applications, helped us already with identifying some additional needs in the city and involving more people, we want to do even more along that line. and, so, this legislation will allow us to establish, along with the best practices that are going on in new york, chicago, and the sunlight foundation, that is to create a position in the city, basically establishing a data office, an open data officer for the city, somebody that's going to help jay naff. jay is like our external innovation officer. he's helping me connect up all the time with all of the different companies in the city that are establishing and creating things. but i need somebody on the inside. we have a 60-department bureaucracy. they're still working in a lot of different silos and one of the things that we still have to do is get them on a higher level of sharing their data. so, establishing a chief data officer for the city that will work with all the different departments, establish some additional standards for them to create pinpoints in ever

i do think we'll see some snow in parts of the region. some inland snow possible. isolated slick spots. coastal problems for everybody from the del marva. a few flurries possible, intermixed with shower activity. may be a dusting in these areas by early thursday morning. it won't cause too many problems on the roads unless you're near freezing. north and east baltimore, we could see one to two inches. overnight into the 20s and back to the north and west. about 35 degrees in washington. another very cold night tonight. the next couple of days, we warm up. 53 on your thursday this weekend, spectacular. highs, back into the 60s with plenty of sunshine. >> we're going to check out what a tsa agent found on a woman at reagan national this morning. it looks like a cell phone. it is actually a stun gun. a woman had an early morning flight for chicago and the tsa noticed this deceptive stun gun as it passed through the metal decker. she was able to board her flight after she gave up the weapon. no charges and the flight wasn't affected. >>> this election day is not going

common ground, make some tough compromises, build some consensus to do the peoples business. and what folks are looking for-- and i think all of us agree on this-- is action. >> reporter: speaker pelosi suggested the leaders agree on milestones that will bolster the economy. >> we should have a goal in terms of how much deficit reduction. we should have a deadline before christmas. we should show some milestones of success so that confidence can build as we reach our solution. >> reporter: over the last week markets had grown increasingly pessimistic about avoiding the fiscal cliff. today's tone provided some relief, but it's clear major hurdles remain. >> how much do rates have to go up? what can republicans accept on that and what can the democrats accept in terms of structural reform of entitlements? i think those are the two big sticking points and those are going to remain the sticking points. and if you can figure out what's going to happen there, you can figure out whether there is going to be a deal and when that deal might happen. >> serious negotiating begins after

. >> outages at some schools mean another day for some students in our area to be off. in anarundel county, four schools are still closed. louis witown elementary is still without power. all schools in pendleton county, west virginia, are closed because of power outage issues. >>> temperatures are down to around 40 degrees this morning. sandy spinning over southeastern canada still. you still see the huge effects of this storm. we're still getting scattered sprinkles from western pennsylvania into western maryland. thankfully, the big snow machine has ended out there. the dark blue areas are around freezing. that's much of western pennsylvania into western maryland. the light blue generally in the low to mid 40s. we're going to hold steady here for the next several hours and not warm up much today. hour by hour, by 6:00 a.m., it actually may dip down to the upper 30s and maybe a few sprinkles around, and then by noontime, maybe a few breaks in the clouds and only the low 50s and a northwesterly wind, and a little sunshine breaking out by mid afternoon. highs mid 50s, mi

some better news for you now as some of the water will be able to recede. the sierra, this is where it is intense. snowfall totals will stack up. look at this. winds 40 to 50-mile-per-hour. maybe near 90 up across the highest peaks. so very dangerous weather here across south lake tahoe. also right up to truckee. if you're thinking of heading this way tonight, you may want to wait here as we are here tomorrow. look at the temperature. 48 currently in santa rosa. we're on track to set potentially some record setting lows as we head into tomorrow morning. let's go outside to the sky camera network. and san francisco clearing out after some heavy downpours. a lot of you getting soaked without any umbrellas. likely watching somebody else. we'll have a reinforcing shotbaf some frigid air friday into saturday. so temperature for daytime highs in some spots could only be here in the 40s. then 50s and 60s. and still cannot even rule out a few isolated thunderstorms. so 11:00 p.m. tonight. we may get a few of the storms firing up in the south and also the east bay.

let's take a look at what happens once they are built i don't think the cap gets that -- and i suggest some alternate tenive like if the percentage of units being approved in the city of these -- exceed a certain% like 10% of the units of the city being approved in the or five% i don't know the exact number that triggers an analysis because if it's some low%, five% of the unit being built or seven%, i don't think it's a big deal but if it gets above the total number of housing units building built, yeah, it's a problem if all developers are out there are building these fish convenient units rather than two bedroom units and but i think it's clungy and doesn't get at what we are trying to get at. >>> well i find myself in agreement with commissioner and clungy is probably the right word 350 is the right number and i completely agree with commissioner that a number is only as good as the study and i'm curious on who's going to fund the study and watch the study and one of the question that we are going to ask with that and this is also so much location based where the location of this unit is

and we have some plant outages. we project that we will need to procure rps resources to meet the acts requirements. they will be small so they're going to be under the 5% of retail sales limit. we're forecasting each month to monitor and evaluate the need. we expect we will need to procure renewable energy credits equivalent to 50,000 megawatt hours before january 1st, 2013. -- to comply with this law * . we expect that will cost us about $50,000. the act also allows for cost limitations, as i mentioned, if exceptions. the exceptions briefly are that our obligation is capped at the same level as other publicly owned utilities. so, for example, the requirement for publicly owned utilities is 20% of your retail sales need to be met by rps compliant resources. in 2012 that rises to 33% by 2020. we may delay compliance due to circumstances beyond our control, and we may adopt a cost limitation. so, putting the cap and the delay ability together, for example, if we had an unexpected outage that was significant, but made

lake tahoe up to two feet in some places. northern california, up through parts of the cascades, mt. rainier, even >> speaking of winter and snow and all that fun, i got a picture from one of my old students, brandon. he works in duluth, minnesota. hello to winter. and then, we go into the next beautiful picture. this is from one of the harde hardest-it areas in new jersey. it was peaceful. share all of your weather photos, please. >> a lot of people suffering post-sandy. it's nice to have a nice shot out of there. thank you, ginger. >>> we're going to turn to a medical mystery of the most annoying kind. a man in me hasn't been able to stop hiccupping for 13, agonizing days. the poor guy went to the hospital seeking help. mark greenblatt is here with his story. >> reporter: we're talking about a rare medical condition, called the persistent hiccups. it has one family in maine desperately searching for a cure. for the last 13 days. for nearly every waking hour, mickey cheney tried just about everything you can imagine to get t

in that time there've been some good days. and some difficult ones.but, through it all, we've persevered, supporting some of the biggest ideas in modern history. so why should our anniversary matter to you? because for 200 years, we've been helping ideas move from ambition to achievement. and the next great idea could be yours. ♪ . >>> we start the second half of our show on stories we care about. where we focus on our own reporting. the crane that overturned high above manhattan is a little closer to being tied down tonight. it was being used to construct the tallest residential building in manhattan. today, michael bloomberg announced that inspections of the crane are complete. the construction manager tells us the department of buildings is reviewing the plans to secure it. the area is still closed. public transportation in new york city is starting to come back. some subway lines and amtrak are going to run on a schedule. thousands were o waiting in long lines to get to work. at least there was some public transportation to help them. the congesti

now, it will never happen. >> you know, some people love them. >> some people do. >> you can eat all you want on it, right? >> well, yeah. >> well, i could eat $190 worth of food in two days. >> you're right. >> too many people that close together and you can't escape them all. >> i want to hear more. if you are going on the cruise, you get an extra hour of cruising this weekend. >> unless you don't want to be on the boat, i mean unless you don't like it. >> then it is an extra hour on the boat you didn't want. there you go. don't forget to turn your clocks back saturday night early sunday morning as daylight savings time ends. 46 in washington. 46 in annapolis. 39 in leonardtown. it is cool out there. definitely jacket weather, sweatshirt, that kind of thick for the kids going to the bus stop, walking to school. these temperatures will be very gradually warming up here. we'll only be back in the mid- 50s later today. another cool afternoon expected. we've got a couple of light showers and strichgels off to the north and west -- and sprinkles off to the north and west. been hanging o

if some of you have specific relationships with some of the supervisors, we can talk about who we don't yet have on the sponsorship list. those connections will be great. would plan to do a rally and press conference on the steps of city hall. who want to use as an opportunity to change the law and raise awareness. we want to organize seniors and people with disabilities in sros to say we demand and deserve better. so that people can also say this is not what should be going on in our city. will like some of you to come out with us on that day, to the rally. maybe somebody representing the council should speak. testify before the land use committee that they. will be in touch with the mayor's office; presumably they will pass on to all of you when those things are happening. >> chair: jessica, i think the idea of including the mayor's disability council and the technical assistance guidelines is excellent. my colleagues are interested in that. before i -- have you been in contact with chief inspector bosky at the department of building inspection? she may be able to offer support as wel

"i do know some producers there. i've got to get some of those beans." the coffee chain bought enough for three weeks of sales limited to the pacific northwest. a starbucks spokeswoman said "it's for the person who wants to take a coffee journey." "i think there's a lot of products like this - wines, craft beer, cupcakes. this fits in with that." but at $7 a cup, this coffee journey could lead you back to your atm. "a person on an average budget could barely afford it. i get a treat once a day "i was drinking coffee when i first started down here, but i think it's overpriced as it is." as a commodity, coffee prices are down and production up in brazil. but americans' taste for flavorful and unique coffees has only grown. $4 lattes used to be the ceiling. now, who knows how high is too high? specialty coffee is not completely recession-proof, however. technomic research found starbucks' same-store sales in the u.s. dropped negative throughout 2008 and most of 2009. but it has bounced back and stayed positive since. a little strategy could go a long way wi

i've always been impressed by ti know that some, you know, some groups of developers may have felt that their voice wasn't heard as much, particularly maybe the rba in the last financial analysis we did of the program five years ago. but i think we've gone a long way of bringing them in and listening to their concerns. for instance, some of those things that are not covered in the manual that we know are important that are listed in your memo come from them. so, i think we feel like we've reached out from the small to the tall for this review and i feel that most people feel we've asked for their voice, especially the financial analysis that we recently have been bringing people together and talking to developers about the land dedication issue. i'm sure they'll have their own concerns. because the program is growing and people are learning it more and people are talking to each other more. so, we'll hear from some of them when we come back for approval. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> keeping you for a second day. i was listening to a replay of the 2010 planning commission meet

operating funds, so many things, some big, some small, that is just hard to explain it. now, if we start from a position that we want to keep things as loud as we can and provide explanations as to the forces, if any, that drive you above that, then i think that goes a long wail to completing an understandable story as to why rates have to be what they have to be. >> what form do you want this to take? >> i will move this as an amendment to the policy that is in front of you. >> i was just going to ask you to read it again just to be -- because we don't have handouts for any members of the audience. i just wanted to make sure it's clear on the record what you're moving. >> okay. so, add a section to the policy that's in front of the commission. the placement of that addition to be left to staff. and the addition to be titled operating cost containment and to read as follows. to the extent that operating costs are determined by the puc, actions and choices, it is the policy of the commission to limit operating cost increases exclusive of debt service and cash funded capit

we have some public comment on some of the consent items. >> i will read the consent items. item 9a, approving award contract joc 42 to not exceed amount to 5 million to the lowest qualifying responsible and responsive bidder power engineering. -- construction company. b, approve an award contract, joc 43 for a not to exceed amount of 5 million to the lowest qualified responsible and responsive bidder synergy project management incorporated. c, approve modification no. 4 to contract ww 5 14 r with nkk construction corporation, completion of contract duration by 120 consecutive calendar days with no change to the contract amount. d, accept work performed by precision engineering incorporated for contract ww 455, approve modification no. 3, increasing the contract by $186,113, with a time extension of 42 consecutive calendar days [speaker not understood]. e, authorize the general manager to [speaker not understood] a revocable grant with mahakari for the use of sfpc land at 1155 junipero boulevard, san francisco, california at a use of $500 per month. f, authorize the john bra

so, even in some of those spaces there were some issues, which i'll touch upon some challenges which, again, the purpose of the pilot to identify what some of those would be. the other measure we looked at -- oh, i should mention when you're looking at this chart, you'll see a bar going across. and that was basically a control group of off-street spaces that also i think somewhat comports with industry averages or where we'd want to be. you could see some of them hit that bar right off the bat. some of them were approaching it. some were quite a bit away. similarly on this chart, this is looking at unique users, another measure that the industry looks at. generally we found that there was where you had high utilization, you had a number of high users. the purpose of this is to see how broadly based these spaces are being used and whether it's just one or two people using it. >> excuse me for a second. could you once again, can you just define how unique users are identified? what's a unique user or who is a unique user? >> so, it's -- looking at the number of people in every given mon

now, time to make some choices. and after the devastation of super storm sandy a nor'easter threatens some of the areas hit hard sexual offense. tonight, how folks are bracing for another blow. but first from fox this monday night, we're almost there. 24 hours from this moment, the first polls will have just closed on what could be a very long election night. could be. president obama and governor mitt romney are spending the final hours of the campaign in some of the battleground states that could decide it all. governor romney headed to florida, virginia, new hampshire, and ohio. in fact, he and president obama are both in columbus right now. the president also visiting wisconsin and iowa today. bruce springsteen is along for the ride on the president's plane and warming up the crowds for the commander and chief. president obama is asking his supporters don't give up on me now. but governor romney says the president has not delivered the change he promised. >> tomorrow we begin a new tomorrow. tomorrow we begin a

look at some of these numbers we polled.ccording to the "new york times" last year, the race had 47,000 runners, 8,000 volunteers and 1,000 staffers. also 2 million spectators. in total, generating $340 million in economic activity in the city. keep in mind though, about 20,000 of the 47,000 runners are from other countries. that's a little bit less than half of the race. you have to assume that travel disruptions are going to keep some of those people out of the city. another smaller survey that we looked at of marathon participants from past years shows that runners from overseas, they spent about $2,647 per person. they stay in the city for an average of 5.7 days. they also bring an average of 3.6 guests with them. so take that away and of course that $340 million economic activity number is going to be substantially less. "the new york times" says in 2010 the road runners paid $150,000 to city agencies, including $107,000 to the police. we phoned mayor bloomberg's office to find out what resources the city contributes an

some people work late. some need to go to work early. that's over. you have i saw today, fortunately, some of the shop owners had generators and they allowed some of the residents to come in and just get some warmth and plug in and charge their cell phones so they could try to communicate with someone. it's tough situation. >> and it's hard, too. these are the awkward things to talk about, but this is a place where half the people are below the poverty line and that plays a part in this, in their voices being heard. >> what's concerned is people are hungry. you know, some others -- start breaking or looting or anything of that nature, we want to make sure that does not happen. and so, you know, there are some national guard out there and i had a chance to talk to some of them. they said they need some other and i got to say, people do not want to be forgotten about. >> but who's blame for this happening? the disaster is in so many places. some places get help more quickly. who's to blame for the neighborhood not getting what it needs more quickly? >>

some began landing this evening. that's going to continue as we bring in more resources to support utilities. >> when you see the pictures, we've seen this in several areas. when you look at the devastation and homes completely gone, homes just ripped off their foundations. is this what you expected or worse? >> no, this is why the evacuation orders were issued. with storm surge, which is what we get with these type of systems, people tend to think of this as what you see from hurricanes like we saw in mississippi and other storms. when this happens, that's the power of that water. it's not going to be like it's flooding the street. it can literally destroy homes as the waves start smashing everything. >> as i mentioned on staten island today and there was a lot of frustration. people were called it the forgotten borough. let me just play this. >> you going to go to your mother's? >> did you call? on the ground today? fema is on the ground today? >> fema was on the ground today, sir, we saw them at the shelter, but i

some people say it's been very successful. it has had some problems. california is saying they've learned from that and they're going to design this market to be more efficient. >> okay. well, it's a complicated system and we'll talk about another complicated system here. hari sreenivasan. there's a lot of new information about how the digital world helped in the last campaign. and maybe made a big difference. >> right. >> you've been looking into that. >> you know, what's interesting is this is the first time the campaigns had access to not just all of the 500 points of consumer data about you that already exist, this time they were able to combine it with all of your online surfing behavior and really start to microtarget. both campaigns, neither campaign really wanted to talk about it until after the election. we're getting dribs and drabs of information on exactly what they've built in their store houses. >> you produced a report for the news hour and for frontline about this. and we're going to see a little bit of that right now. >> the ability to

first of all -- and some of the points i've heard today are some that some of the opposite have raised to suggest this is not important enough or worthy of our time i did a little research and we could go back and i could probably find some resolutions and ordinances from pretty much every member of this body, that would -- that may fall into that category, that are not the most but that actually matter in a lot of people's lives. and so if the new rule is that this board can only take up matters that are somehow monumental, while i really would be interested in that discussion, our agendas would be much lighter, and but that would be a new way of doing business at the board of supervisors. and it would be different than probably the way we've operated where, as a board of supervisors, we're not the united states be senate. we are a local government entity, and we deal with the day-to-day challenges of a city, and of neighborhoods. and some of those are monumental and some of thosegqjatç are very mundane. and as a district supervisor, you can only imagine if i, or any of us were saying

of them do some of them don't but whereas if before we saw the f.d.a. release now if you work for the f.d.a. and the you see problems within the food industry you can blow the whistle now in you will at least on his legislation be covered but if you work for like some mom and pop place with a contract the f.d.a. you're not necessarily going to get that protection if you step up and say ok there's a lot of stuff going wrong here they can still retaliate against you but on a bigger level on a federal level there will be some protections now once obama signs this into law. but the fact that we still need a law in order to tell people that it's ok to go along with what are you up for wrongdoing i mean i think. that bradley manning's i think it would be good just really quickly to mention julian assange is because i think today has been five months that he's been holed up at the ecuadorian embassy in jail without charge in the u.k. no charges. afraid of going to sweden for questioning on sexual allegations because he thinks he would then be. brought to the u

some flooding in the north bay, lucky drive. there's an accident southbound at 101 in san rafael but the green highlighting and as you're coming out of novato, highway 37 looks okay and dryer for that pavement. we end with the bay bridge also slick and puddling there, guys. back to you. >>> the window for this year's mavericks surf contest opens in just over a week. organizer jeff clark has announced the contest will start on november 9th and run through march 31st of next year. when the contest is called, 24 of the world's best surfers will have 24 hours to get to pillar point near half moon bay and hit those huge waves. the right conditions didn't materialize last year, so there was just no contest. it's just got to be right. >> it looks like this year should be a good one hopefully. >>> 4:57. bay area politics now coming into focus as a primetime drama on television. we'll have all the details for you coming up. >>> and taking a live look outside, this is the golden gate bridge. traffic still light there, kind of that orange

in some cases some being fired from israeli positions, some being fired toward israel. >> it's not asunited nations personnel monitoring this border crossing if you will. >> no. it's a very surreal system where you actually don't run into any human beings for several steps of the process. it's all done through surveillance cameras, through doors being electronically opened for you and gradually, you know, the closer you get with each door that you go through you're one step closer toward israel and one step, you know -- they've examined you one step further. it's a fascinating system to see up close. >> yeah. at some point -- and you were there for three, four, five days? >> right. >> you must have been scared out of your mind. >> you know, you're definitely in a heightened state of awareness. i wouldn't say scared because i've been in a lot of these areas over the years. but it's always shocking to see the conditions that people are forced to live in in a war zone. and to see what life is like for somebody and who's the only difference between them and myself is the accident of birth

>> after losing the election, the republican party is involved in some soul-searching. >> now some republicantrategists are saying the party needs to reach beyond its base and appeared to a broader swath of the electriorate. sally kidd has the story. >> republican pollsters say changing demographics have finally caught up with the gop. >> paul and i have left everything on the field. we have given our all to the campaign. >> it was not enough for republicans to capture the white house. president obama won big among latinos, women, and younger voters. >> that reflects his record and also the approach of the republican party, to paint itself out of the mainstream. >> even some agree the grand old party has an image problem as the party of rich, old white people. the percentage that is why it has declined from 81% to 72%. >> the trying to get a larger and larger share of a smaller and smaller section of the electorate's it makes you run a lot of votes. >> he says there is a lesson for republicans going forward. >> we need to get better about communicating republican values to hispanic voters, as

a recent study in japan finance minister said recently that they were falling behind in cuba as some kind of rice might not bones about europe's going to have to it's own sake the only way out is to either let this things fall apart or create copious amounts of money and they're trying to find a mechanism by which to do that and this is the same governments manipulating markets to try and try and push investors further out the risk but given the no return at all having cash in the bank is a very dangerous thing to do so i mean you know we said we talk to investors all around the world who are who assists trying to some way to find some kind of yield when you've got a ton of inflation we see no real real real returns really let's need to be up in the sort of three and a half or five percent range and that's a very difficult sometimes once you know one thing because sitting here in the in washington we just are always harping on the fed we're always harping about is there but are you saying that in this global context where all there are many central banks are engaging in these same po

do have some way to control when you plug in a thumb drive or some other device?this is not, in some ways, but the basic level you could take that would reduce a lot of this. it is not rocket science. you need a password management program. do you accept collect calls from russia? [laughter] >> because that happens. this is a good example. this is like the classic cyberstory. springfield water supply system, i told people, remember that springfield is where homer simpson was. they get hacked,. >> is this a real story? >> yes. it turned out it wasn't hacked from it turns out that a contractor called in and he used his password to take control and call him from russia. this is sort of a no-brainer security measure. the correct answer to his accepting security causes no. there are simple things we can do that would make it better. >> does anyone else have a question? >> i was happy to hear mr. lewis conclude with the idea of a digital pearl harbor. we have heard quite a bit recently, including from senator lieberman in "the new york times" about the overwhelming thre

so we asked you to get creative and come up with some ideas. here are some of them. and the president two days pay for every day worked if they go over the cliff. another viewer says if we go over the cleef, both party leaders should resign. i like this one. sam says, ask apple for a bailout. i'm not even sure they have enough money. let's bring in our guests. jimmy, first to you. what do you make of these? any of them work for you? >> pay for performance. i like that idea. let's link salary to benefits of our politicians. not just this one time to the fiscal cliff. perhaps to our long-term growth rate. i like that idea a lot. >> we've got a lot of tweets in as well, chris, for a flat tax. probably about the same amount for a vat, right? a federal sales tax. what do you make of those ideas? >> well, i'm a big fan of a flat tax. everyone would win with a flat tax. taxpayers that have a much simpler time at tax time. it would make the economy grow, which would benefit everyone. a vat, however, is a terrible idea. frankly, it won't go anywhere because a vat would tax co

we efforted to give some context. we went up to his father, his sister, his mother, and we only spoke to his father. we spoke to the other combatants who were involved. we spoke to the photographer who had witnessed this terrible scene. we tried to really give this some context in the overall mission in afghanistan with the reasons i mentioned. i do not think this was sensationalism. quite the opposite. it was an effort to tell a compelling story of somebody who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country in a respectful manner in order to help inform the greater public pier that was our rationale. we understand there are people who take issue with that. not least of all his family and other people such as yourself from what i understand. i think that is part of the debate. we are fortunate in some ways where we live in a society where we are allowed to do that and we are allowed to have that debate. we do not expect everybody to agree with it. far from it. journalistically, i think we were and are comfortable with

some hope to report.e infant in this picture, eight hours old, kept live by a nurse manually pumping air into the baby's lungs. we're going to speak with that nrk icu norris ahead. an amazing woman. was she and the other folks did. also tonight, an incredibly disturbing story emerging from staten island, new york. this is from wha it looks like from the air. it has not gotten the attention it should have and there is a search on the ground where police found the bodies of two young brothers in a marsh. how they got there is just an unbelievably upsetting story. a mother seeking shelter, losing her children and literally turn ed away by somebody who didn't want to help her and of course, a close-up tour of the aftermath in new york city. i went under ground at the sight of the world trade center. it was bad, could have been much worse. we'll show you how much water is left there. it's all at the top of the hour. >> thanks. and now, our fifth story. breaking new, new details on the deadly attack on the u.s.

i finally have some good news for everyone. it looks like the storm is going to be a little further off the coast. i don't think we're going to see a lot of significant wind damage out of this. we could see some snow in areas where sandy hit. it's very cold out here this morning. it looks like the areas from new jersey up to southern new england could be dealing with snow and rain. that's a look at our nationgtio forecast. >>> today we'll see plenty of cold temperatures. boston, sunshine, 45. pittsburgh looks nice. ohio, temperature not bad. upper 40s and 50s. a utah, near 70. when will we know tonight? maybe tomorrow. who knows? >> even longer, bill. >> hope not. no longer. >> exactly. you heard it here first. thanks so much. >>> in addition to the white house, we'll take a look at some of the hotly contested senate races across the country. plus, you are looking at nbc's democracy plaza right here in the heart of rockefeller center. you can check us out on the web at nbc news.com/democracy plaza. you're watching "early today.

some roads are blocked. some are impassable.aten island just because people are out either trying to get out, come back in and assess damage, there are huge lines for gas. so the travel situation around staten island is very, very difficult. that could be a key reason why some of the relief agencies haven't gotten here. and we just do have an updated word, 19 total dead on staten island, wolf. >> the president, brian, is now speaking about the aftermath of sandy. he's in las vegas. >> -- we will not forget them. we are going to make sure they get everything they need. we're going to cut through the red tape and the bureaucracy. we've got military transport getting equipment in to get the power back on. we've got food and water and medical supplies that we're shipping in. and we're not going to stop. because what we understand is is that this could happen to any of us. >> that and that's why even in the midst of tragedy the situation on the east coast has also inspired because it reminds us that when disaster strikes, we see amer

still going to keep a chance for some showers. we are getting showers out there on the radar right now in certain spots, scattered very light. the clouds will begin to move away as we go towards the weekend. for today this is what you can expect. by lunchtime that temperature coming in at 52 degrees and the temperatures really not bumping up much from there. we can see our high, 3:00, 4:00 coming in at 54 degrees. we should have at 61 this time of year. this is what we're waiting for saturday and sunday, more sunshine but we stay in that chilly pattern as we head into next weekment let's get a check of the abc2 time saver traffic with lauren cook. >>> bring on that sunshine. >> i'm working on it. >> we are dealing with several accidents. trouble in an ran doe county where there's a crash in i don't have ton on the southbound lanes of crane highway. and in howard county we are dealing with a crash in jessup on washington boulevard at montevideo road. and as we check in and take a live look here at hartford road you'll notice traffi

and our lord would have us understand that -- >> so you'll have some men and some women, some who were priests and religious, and some who were lay people, some who were martyrs and some who just lived extraordinarily holy lives. pope john paul ii who many consider to be a saint, and might one day be a saint, said that they're the source and origin of renewal during every difficult time in the history of the church. and so not only are we pointing to these different saints and celebrating all of the good things during their lives, but we're hopefully encouraging one another to become the saints of this age. >>> at the vatican on wednesday, pope benedict xvi held a special service to mark the 500th anniversary of the sistine chapel. the ceiling, dedicated in 1512, took michelangelo 4 years to paint. now, 5 million people visit annually. benedict said when the chapel is seen during prayer, "everything lives, everything resonates." >>> finally, in egypt, coptic christians make up about 10% of the population. last march, the leader of the copts, pope shenouda iii, died and this week, copti

they actually got some. i think they got enough to be able to say that this trip was justified by its results. they did get about 15 more prisoners released. more important they got a process in place to resolve the remaining few hundred cases of people who are still behind bars in burma for their opsition to the military government and some pretty decent commitments that now have to be fulfilled on resolving the ethnic conflict and especially dealing with the really painful problem of the relationship between the buddhist majority in burma and particularly the muslims living in the west, the muslims who have been subjected to really terrible pogroms in the last few weeks >> suarez: priscilla clapp you've been looking at some of the undertakings of the government. in your judgment are they significant maybe you can tell us what some of them are >> i agree with what tom just said particularly about the political prisoners because they have agreed to start a process before the end of december that will invite
