there is a bunch of southern groups trying to recapture southern pride through racial solidarity and resentment at freed blacks. they were all pretty much a failure. but one of them the ku klux, this clan people rumored they offered it to robert e. lee and lee said ask forrest. but there was one man that everybody thought embodied the bitterness and the grievances of the southern poor. these were poor white people who created this myth that they couldn't survive with these uppity blacks and scalley wags who had kept them down. this white supremacist group was different than the other ones. it didn't have the aristocracy or the plantation it had this new image that people were ghosts and they were calvary men and who better to emblemat emblematic, so they got sheets and got on horses at night. look what he said, this is at a time when there's no habeas corpus and there's thousands of union troops in the south. he said, i can assure you fellow citizens, and he wrote this to a newspaper. i for one want no more war. i don't want to see any more bloodshed nor do i want to see any more neg

there were a bunch of southern groups trying to recapture southern pride. but there was one, people rumored they offered it to robert e. l sub stain ated. -- sub stain there was one man the southern poor, this particular group were poor who they couldn't survive with the up ity blacks and southerners and this white supremist group was different than the other one. it did have pretensions of a plantation class and it had this new image that people were ghosts and who better to show this than the man who was at shilo. look at what he said. there is no habeas corpus and there are thousands of troops in the south. he said i can assure you fellow citizens and he wrote this to a newspaper, i, for one, do not want anymore war. i don't want to see anymore bloodshed nor do i want to see anyone armed to shoot down white men. if there is a war upon us, i will tell you, that i shall not shoot any blacks unless i see a white radical. if they send the black men to hunt the ku klux, shoot the radicals. so he was absolutely defined, turned out that was trying to work with

buy union pacific over norfolk southern.e is the reasons, first and foremost the rails began a big repricing for new contracts. cycle starting in 2003. we are now in the late innings of this story. it not quite over and union pacific has the most upside from repricing going forward, that's the key metric in the rail business. to understand what is happening here, we need to go to the way back machine when the railroads were federally regulated and the government decided how much they could charge for shipping. they were deregulated but did not change their pricing model. it caused rates to fall from 1980 through 2003. now the rates have been rising, and it's led to a railroad growth in the last decade and gave you multiple year gains. union pacific has rallied 375% over the last nine years and it's not finished. union pacific has 8% of their contracts up for repricing and that is on top of 4% of their contracts that were just repriced. that is how you get upside surprises. norfolk southern, 3% of their contracts are up for r

it was not southerners. it was new englanders that got into the slave trade business toward the latter part of the slave trade experience. the new england slave traders brought in about a third of all the slaves that were brought to the united states. the numbers vary but the total number of africans that were -- that survived and made it to the western hemisphere, you get different numbers by different scholars but approximately 10 million. so, about the same number that were shipped through the transsahara route came west to the western hemisphere. >> many americans are, i think, confused about where were slaves. were slaves only in the south? is that a myth, or is that a reality? slaves initially were found throughout the colonies. at one time, there were more slaves in new york city than any other american city. myth or reality -- all white southerners owned slaves. again, fortunately, we're blessed with the 1860 united states census. as i mentioned, i spent an entire chapter analyzing the data, and if y

the degree to which southerners mourned jackson at his death is well-known to all of you. entirely typical reaction was to blame the country's loss on avengeful god in keeping with the spirit of the times. a leading southerner cleric, you've probably heard this one, suggested just within days after jackson died that the news actually was good obviously. god clearly was on their side all along and he now evidently has charged himself rather than jackson with the care and protection of the struggling republic. a north carolinian, i have some north carolina friends here, charles and is anly, every time you find a literate north carolinian, this fellow writing home to his family, said the army loved him and sort of in the same vein as the cleric, i believe he was taken away to learn us not to depend upon the arm of flesh. a punishment for being too much in the south. a similarly piased virginiian reached the blissful conclusion in a letter that it is all for the best. about but he could not help in the very same letter admitting in a little bit less relentlessly optimistic vie

the young southern ner comes here spoiled a child. very good to be spoiled more but good for nothing else. he has conversed so much with rife falls, horses, dogs, he has become himself a rifle, a horse, and a dog. and in civil educated comes -- >> he had a way with words. >> he is dumb and unhappy, like an indian in church. so a double barrel ethnic insult. whew. yankees aren't aware of this. southerners are somehow. they may not have that spaecifi. everyone has a story. including the most liberal integrationists of southern you might find. the tradition of insult was carried out in the 20th century, journalism of menkin. the reactive hurt to southern self hch regard is most poignantly in this quote. mississippi reluctantly goes to harvard and commits suicide by jumping off a bridge into the charles river. lewis j. simpson who writes about this says quentin, a professor of american literature at louisiana -- university of louisiana at louisiana state. quentin has in effect by going to harvard and committing suicide assumed the burden

still winter weather in the southern viewing area. if are you watching from southern talbet are you getting a little snow and more moderate down to cambridge. we could get a light accumulation in this part of southern maryland. in south and east of washington. around baltimore, just not going to see much, maybe a flurry. there it is overnight. just a passing snow shower or two. mainly south and look at this outlook. we are back in the 50s to over 60 on thursday. so, a warm streak coming later this week. >> wow. >> i can't wait for thursday. i'm so excited. >> all right. let's go celebrate president's day. >> he will be here. >> we will be here. we will see you tomorrow. >> have a good one. mine was earned over the south pacific in 1943. vietnam, 1967. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance

such a notion it hardly needs to be mentioned is outside the southern mainstream.he general was not entirely within his supporters. even at the depth of the romney crisis. john lecher, his fellow lexingtonian, is really the man who persuaded him to withdraw his recognition. otherwise we would have never heard of him. in the aftermath, people writing after the war almost all of them have said that they recognized of course jackson's native genius from the beginning. i ran across recently a newspaper account of the 85th birthday celebration of an old woman in virginia, lived up the potomac above harpers ferry a little bit. old woman was having her 85th birthday and they interviewed her and she said the greatest moment of her life was when, as a little girl, during the romney campaign she handed stonewall jackson personally, i'm quoting her, a slice of bread well buttered. well, she wasn't talking about a hard-fighting frontier general. she was looking back at someone who had become a legend and things were very different by then. once jackson had succeeded, the 23rd,

and once the southern army was pounding at sherman on the right side they were making some progress. but they came up to a center of resistance and this was now famous. it's like seminary ridge. it's called the hornet's nest. rather than bypass it. a piece of ground becomesem symbolic of a will of a people. braks the bragg and a series of generals threw people at it in frontal assaults. this hornet's nest was surrounded. it started to bend but did not break and the key thing to remember is that the day was getting late and the southerners were evenly matched 40,000 against 40,000. they had surprise and momentum but they had to press the army into the tennessee river because they had 20,000 and walls had 7. they lost a three to six hours there. and albert sydney johnson came over there at 2:00 and said you need the bayonet. and he got on his magnificent horse, fire eater, he charged the hornet's nest and went right through and he came back. and he fell out of the saddle. people thought he fainted. he just dismissed his doctor to help union prisoners and he fell off his horse. nobody k

gusty winds continuing in southern california. quite as bad as yesterday, but it will be a warm wind. as we go through the weekend, saturday still looks like a damp day. not as bad as today. still damp up there in the northwest. then we dry it out a little bit. i think it's going to be a decent sunday. nothing too cold or chilly out there. temperatures drop a little bit in southern california. well, if you're watching us on kgw news channel 8 in portland, oregon, in nearby salem, explore human stories in quirky every day rituals at lodge at hallie ford museum of associate's degree. >> bill, thanks so much. >>> here's an early look at today's headlines in entertainment. nicolas cage returns as comic book character johnnie blaze in "ghost rider: spirit of vengeance." it's also offered in 3-d. it should have $29.5 million. considerably less than the first film. reese witherspoon's romantic comedy "this means war," is expected to draw a large female audience, especially in the wake of valentine's day. it's expected to debut with $17 m

there's a southern -- there's an incipient southern nationalism but no tradition of unanimity and togethernesson the defensive. except in response to what they perceive as attacks on their institutions from the north. so, it was -- a long way around to getting to your question. it was a very precarious thing all along. i think the big problem that's going to face confederacy for the rest of 1861 is, can they keep that inertia going to stay alive? >> one more background question and then we'll get deeply into '61. adam, talk for a minute about how the events of these first months of 1861 struck the people that you've been researching so heavily. not necessarily the icon i guic figures, but ordinary americans from california to ohio back to new york state who are suddenly given these choices and make them generally. >> i think the answer to the question this panel poses is obvious. the reason the war didn't end in 1861 was to keep so many historians in business today. so, thank you to the civil war for not ending in 1861. i do think this was a moment of incredible crisis and decision for so many

southern newspapers riley admitted their conversion experiences. they had been making fun of jackson. they had been highlighting his eccentricities. they had been sweeking speaki i divisively of him. the richmond daily whig has been explaining how the war should have been run in their view, they knew how to run it in the valley and everywhere else, they had made a lot of fun of jackson and his eccentricities. they had the good grace to spoof their earlier stance with a lengthy faux wanted circular. a liberal reward will be given for the apprehension of a confirmed lunatic stonewall who escaped from the asylum early in the spring. a nice metaphor for what was going on. he thinks he's an officer in the confederate army. when last heard from, he was offering personal indignity to an aged and feeble ex-senator of the united states. he is reported to have misdirected an imbecile cobbler. all of this alluding to banks and fremont and the rest and so on. the entire efforts of the united and confederate states governments have failed to arrest him. the geo

i can assure you that southerners remember that. and, as all of us remember those things in our past that were most hurtful, not quite so understood, especially in the southern memory, are some of the statistics that had been annunciated in this panel. if 70% of america's wealth was invested in slaves and in cotton plantations, when both plantations and the slave status were destroyed, a lot of wealth went down the drain. to say that it was well lost is what very few of us in the south have been trained to say. and it's high time we did say it. and, in that respect, the second thing i'd like to think we need more respect for, and that is the benefits of northern victory in the war. one of my favorite people is that veteran of the confederate that veteran of the confederate it was said in his obituary that he had often been known to remark that he was glad the north won the war because it saved our union. now, that's a kind of a far western north carolina view because there were a lot of republicans out there during the civil war. bu

typical old south, we think of southern honor. if you're suggesting that the confederates were the first to violate this parole of honor it flips the image of confederacy on its head, does it not? what are the first reasons that they would be the first to violate these pa roles. >> they felt they needed intelligence to be more on par with the union amount of men! one of the issues is they cannot afford to keep willing men on the home front sitting and waiting out their paroles before they go back into service. any other reasons? on let's talk about the situation the south has to face. it is part of stonewall jackson's arm ney 1852. she's captured at the battle of town in march and goes back home to win chester and two months later, what happens with the union army marches into that city. she is a paroled prisoner of war and she's basically obligated to stay out of the action and there are union soldiers in her town and how do you think they treat her? soldiers should treat this prisoner with respect, but they know what she's going

yankees aren't aware of this, but southerners are somehow. they may not have that specific but everyone has a story. including the most liberal integrationists southern you might find. the tradition of insult was carried out in the 20th century in the journal yixt of menken. of mississippi who is reluctantly goes to harvard at his mother's urging and commits suicide by jumping off a bridge into the charles river. lewis j. simpson says that he's a professor of american literature louisiana, university of laz, louisiana state. he has in effect by going to harvard and committing suicide assumed the burden of the whole history of the destroyed world of southern slave holders carrying his burden to the lapsed world of emerson. and as we know, faulkner believed that the past was in the present and i myself believe that the wounds to certain self-esteem inflicted relentlessly by a north almost totally unaware of its history and certainly of the political psychological consequences of the relationship must somehow be acknowledged. after a walk throug

it looks like it'll be a southern storm. the tracks have pushed south. just in the last hour or two getting new information and as we take a look at tonight in to the day tomorrow a cold start in the morning but we will bounce up in to the mid50s and then that southern storm that isn't even on the regional map, will be as we go into day tomorrow. on the saturday we look for the rain maker to start the cross mississippi and alabama. then later in to the time here and into sunday, afternoon and evening you can see this thing will blow up. it'll be a large storm. the track is now pulled it further south and that could mean not only just a sharp cut off but that it baltimore and central maryland could be north of the cutoff. completely. perhaps getting no precipitation for dc and baltimore. let's zoom in and show you that. this is sunday at 8:00. this is a dramatic change for six to eight hours ago. you have to remember this could change again. this particular track would mean maybe just a few rain showers, perhaps mixed with a few snow showers, heavy rain e

>> and southern virginia right where jeff stewart was born. by the grace of god i'm a virginian. he came back and married a southern bell from virginia and it was concerned by this last caller, jennifer to equate, with the example of the education system and i want to see what you think of this to where she either does not understand or does not know that the north and the south made a lot of money off of slavery and the west coast of africa. >> we'll let professor thomas respond. >> i think lee was as racist as most people were. they thought there were different races and white folks like himself, and he measured race in terms of white folks like himself who was an important factor. he was -- in terms of individuals, thoughtful and kind to everyone and that included african-americans. he thought slavery was upon it, but always in the abstract. he really thought that god and god's wisdom would resolve the issue, and it was enough to he -- robert e. lee to do that much about it for which we could fault him, i think. i think the assumption that anybody who enlists something from a

usually poked fun at him in the southern newspapers. not the northern ones. they ignored him, if they mentioned him at all. but in a period of 33 days revolutionized his image and the capacity of the confederate nation to fend for itself. those 33 days began on the 8th of may. when he won the battle of mcdowell after some clever countermarching and extended then through the second of the climactic two days of battle. so from may 8th to june 9th covers 33 days, he went from a virtual nonentity to pretty much a genuine legend. that explosive rise might be compared, just for thought purposes, with the increase in lee's popularity as a southern hero in the south and elsewhere. jackson's companion on the rise to fame, lee, had a very different sort of a move up the wide axis of the public opinion graph. i compared it once and it seemed to me to be apt to the difference of qaa lie my he shot up with a shrill whistle and perhaps a pipe organ in lee's case. he had found absolutely no opportunity for distinction or activity for many months thereafter. they are ensued

later the -- the southerners said that thet was galvanized. out of this the created this myth, forget the fact that the hornet's nest should have been bypassed in the first hours of the battle. forget the fact that the south would be outnumbered the next day, for get the fact that there was a mediocrity of demand. this apollo on horseback was arrive. if you look at the battle of shilo, there is a victory. the night ended before -- albert sidney johnson died and this was the creation of the mythology in the south of the lost opportunity. we didn't lose because we didn't have industrial capacity, we didn't lose because we didn't have enough man power, we didn't lose because we had the worst cause, we lost because of a flureks we were more patriot -- fluke, we were more patria powe in the south and i want to read you a couple of things from contraries. one is a ta had the fatal shot which struck him down on the sixth not been fired grant and his forces would not have been destroyed or captured and well would have never crossed tennessee, general

if the president if around northern maryland, 70s still in southern maryland but rainy, foggy, thunderstorms to the east. we'll talk about how things shake out. >>> the man who was stabbed during a road rage is being charged as well. jeffrey neil furlough is charged with two counts of first degree assault. furlough was driving an suv and got into an argument with the driver of another car. furlough got stabbed by the other passenger. furlough held the passenger. sudbrook was arrested. although furlough wasn't arrested, an arrest warrant was issued? >> it's been two days since george huguely was found guilty in the murder of crerd yerd. now one of the jurors is talking about the decision. >> reporter: the first juror is talking about how he and fellow jurors felt. he said the hardest part was looking at the pictures but now feels like he knows the victim, friends and family. >> when we came out with our verdict, both times, i was not afraid to look at george and look at him, and i think that's because i was confident that what we did was right. >> he recommended a sentence of 20 years. huguel

along this stretch of russia's southern border are a string of small republics. five, including dagestan, are largely islamic. the conflict in chechnya is partly religious but mostly nationalist, reflecting chechnya's distaste for russian control. but dagestan's case is quite different from that of neighbong chechnya. despite similar histories is quiand religion, dagestan exhibits little of the volatility th characterizeshechny why is that? geographers look at places for evidence of two opposing forces. take the old soviet union. military power, communist ideology and economic integration were centripetal forces that helped hold the union together. but they were weak, and when the centralized economy proved bankrupt, centrifugal-- or devolutionary-- forces proved stronger. different languages, religions and large distances helped these areas spin away, as in a centrifuge. the new central asian republics joined the slavic countries in the southern caucasus to form the commonwealth of independent states. but the north caucasus remained within russia itself, despite

, white southerners got pardons for any treason they commended -- either by ignoring it. >> we have just a few minutes left with emory thomas and we'll go to richmond. on the phone is shannon. hi there, what's your comment or question? >> i have several comment, well, just a brief comment. i think that today considering i'm a person of color from virginia, and i think that frederick douglas being nominated number three is actually pretty good enrichment even after 150 years. i just have a question. i know that jennifer was concerned as a person of color, as well, but i'm from virginia, and i do understand the culture. it doesn't mean you can completely accept it, but in regards to general lee being the great emancipator. i understand he was the emancipator from what he inherited from custas. wasn't that done, and he was just following it through, would you consider that as the emancipator who freed all of the slaves that were held by the rebels. >> no. some of that was tongue and cheek. i will point out that he in so doing freed some slaves that she owned that weren't part of that estate

. >> brown: from southern thailand, kira kaye reports on religious tensions between muslims and buddhists. . >> one of america's biggest allies in southeast asia, thailand has seen its share of turmoil but the conflict in the country's southern provinces has proven the most deadly and protracted. >> woodruff: and we talk with author roger rosenblatt about the death of a loved one and the solace of a "kayak morning." ere i realized what a good place it was to feel secluded, solitary, and in touch with something. i needed to be in touch with something because i wanted to understand the nature of grief. >> brown: that's all ahead on tonight's newshour. major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> the william and flora hewlett foundation, working to solve social and environmental problems at home and around the world. >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> woodruff: the price of oil on wor

they talked to southerners, and they're really struck by how we got into this problem to begin with, because of this institution of slavery, and if you want to solve a problem, the only way to do it is to root out the cause. so, union soldiers made a shift. much, much earlier than i anticipated. the big shift begins in the summer of 1861, where soldiers beginning to write home to their families and also to their elected officials, to say if we want to win this war and if we don't want to fight it again in ten years we need to get rid of the problem, get rid of slavery or it's going to be right back at square one. so they at first take a really practical approach to the slave slavery problem. the tie solve a problem. get rid of the cause, problem goes away. but this is their first reaction to what they view as the causes of the war. but then as they stay in the south, more and more they interact with real live slaves, real live people, who run to the union army by the thousands and suddenly it's harder to dismiss slaves as an abstraction or black people as an undefined category, somet

of like the stereotypical old south, we think of southern honor. and if you're suggesting that the confederates were the first to violate this parole of honor, it kind of flips our image of the confederacy on its head, does it not? what are some other reasons the confederacy would be the first to try to violate these paroles? >> they had less -- well, they thought they had less fighting men, perhaps. they felt that they needed the intelligence in order to be more on par with the union amount of men. >> right. so one of the issues is, of course, the numbers of men and the confederacy cannot afford to keep, you know, willing men on the home front sitting and waiting out their paroles before they go back into service. any other reasons? let's also sort of think about the situation the south has to face. you know, let's say katie, for instance, is part of stonewall jackson's army in 1862. she's captured at the battle of kernstown in march and then signs a parole, goes back home to winchester. two months later, what happens but the union army marches in

let's take a look at a map of southern maryland. route 4, route 5, 301 everything is doing fine out of brandywine, oxon hill. andrews air force base you're doing fine through the main corridor in southern maryland. if you're planning to head over to the other side of town, we'll take a live look over here in the heart of silver spring. georgia avenue and wayne avenue. we're doing fine as well. nice and light in this corridor. coming up in my next report, we'll go to virginia at 5:32. back to you. >> thank you, monika. >>> it's been almost a week since a controversy erupted over the susan g. komen foundation defunding money for planned parenthood and reversing its decision. the controversy did help focus the spotlight on some other facilities that breast health services to other women in the area like the capitol breast care center in southeast d.c. >> reporter: when margie first came to the capital breast care center for a mammogram, she was like millions of americans in this tough economy. out of a job that had provided her with he

it is mostly impactinging the southern states.avy rain in tennessee, snow in kentucky, snow pushing into virginia as well. most of this will stay down to our south. let's look at forecast for today. temperatures will be in the mid 40's by the after. only in the 30's in the mountains. they have a chance for snow showers. it is a rain snow mix coming into the northern part of the storm. anywhere from baltimore down toward the south. the further irsouth you go, your better chances of seeing that precipitation. futurecast will show us this storm passing to our south. we are on the northern fringe of it. we see high pressure building in for tomorrow. how much snow are we talking? minimal chances of seeing snow flakes. if you see anything, nothing is going to stick. to st. mayor kwli's -- mary's county, could accumulate a trace to an inch, but mostly just on grassy surfaces. a bull's-eye for the snow back in virginia. some places will see 2 to 6 inches of snow. as for our forecast tonight, rain or snow showers to our south tapering off

no real mourning of southern losses. there is a long tradition of insult and disdain from new england towards everything southern. well before the war, the civil war, thomas jefferson was anxious that his university of virginia charlottesville be completed quickly. jefferson singled out harvard. emerson was probably the most distinguished. in a famous, not famous enough 1837 journal entry he wrote spoiled a child but good for nothing else. he has conversed so much that he's a rifle, horse and dog. >> he had a way with words. >> he is dumb and unhappy like an indian in church. a double barrel ethnic insult. yankeeing aren't aware of this, but southerners are. everyone has a story. the reactor of southern self-regard is evoked in the fictional character of mississippi who goes to harvard at his mother's urging and commits suicide by jumping off the bridge of the charles river. quinton is a professor of american literature at louisiana state. quinton has an effect by going to harvard and committing suicide assume the burden

but the southern half of the u.s. will state largely be dry under a high pressure system and temperatures rising to 23 degrees in houston. 18 in oklahoma city. the eastern seaboard is on the warmer side at 12 in d.c. and 8 degrees expected in new york. finally, let's go to europe. a chain of low pressure systems has been bringing wet and windy weather to northern europe. as you can see, the isobars are close together meaning strong winds are prevailing. scotland has received a gust of 90 kilometers per hour as the system moves toward the southeast, areas like finland and the ball ticks and northern germany will be affected. down toward the south, unstable conditions in the central mediterranean all day tuesday. here are your temperatures. we're expecting 9 degrees in paris and 5 in vienna and looking at minus 1 in kiev and minus 3 in moscow. warmer temperatures will continue for the next several days. here's your extended forecast. >>> that concludes this edition of "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. tokyo.

that is diving towards southern california so morning rain, cloudy and windy at times, we will have cooler afternoon highs although towards the santa clara valley, it might be on the mild side. here is sal. >>> steve just told you just to make sure you give yourself extra time to work today, let's look at highway 4. some wet roads and you can see traffic on 680 is going to be a little bit slow heading south on the venetia why bridge and heading south, it is a little bit windy as you drive on 880 and now the weather is going to play a role on the commute for the san mateo bridge. we continue our storm coverage, as we hit the streets this morning, it has been steady and several rain related accidents overnight. looking at this first one, this accident looks worse than it was. this driver made it out okay and just before 3:00 he was taking the on ramp when he says his car hydroplaned, he then spun before he went airborne. >> i tried to correct it, before i knew it, i hit the curb and i am getting flipped over. >> and there was another rain related accident, this one near the boulevard on ramp

for southern whites the war had a similar tragic legacy. it left an economy still dependent on agriculture but without the slave labor on which that economy had grown to depend. it delayed industrialization. with the civil rights movement not only did blacks move forward in the south and throughout the country but the south began its economic development full throttle. and companies began to move in large numbers to the south with desegregated schools and institutions. the sun belt economy was born in the south. now this healing has indeed occurred with changed attitudes, but those attitudes could not have been changed without the civil rights laws. blacks and whites didn't get together in a room and say it's time now we began to talk to one another. the law was migratee of the 196s act. the job discrimination act was seminal in getting people to be with one another, to talk with one another, to be supervised by one another. nothing, nothing could have promoted healing like that. the integration of the schools to some extent has been the sa

just a little bit of light snow, southern parts of the eastern shore. and southern parts of maryland. but that's about it. with the sunshine out, though. take a look at what we've got going on. nothing over the entire northeast. and as far as temperatures go, that sun is starting to warm us up. and this is just the beginning. we are already up into the upper 40s. we are going to switch it over and show you this graphic here. we've got upper 40s for a lot of us. and as we head through the next couple of days, these numbers are going up. it is still 38 in oakland. a little snow out there. but that is the mountains and it is february. we'll have that forecast coming up shortly. >> we'll check in on our roads right now. here's kristy breslin. happy birthday, kristy at wjz traffic control. i just remembered. >> thank you, mary. 29 again. happy to be back. [ laughter ] >>> still have traffic out there unfortunately on this president's day. if you're traveling northbound 95, we do have an accident at whitemarsh boulevard. that has the delays solid back to pula

the southern democrats are simply aghast by this. and beyond that they feel personally betrayed because they had thought of harry truman as one of their own. his mother had been in an interment camp run by the union during the civil war, confederate sympathizers. of and if you look at harry's statements and you look at his private correspondence, he is not exactly a bleeding heart liberal. on the topic. but he puts this forward, and the southerners are aghast. they start talking about a strategy in which they will punish harry truman. they will punish the democratic party. it will make the democratic party come to its senses on civil rights and states' rights and all of these things, and they will do this by putting the election into the electoral college. and brokering a deal. and one of the people involved in that is a young man, a young governor of south carolina named j. strom thurmond, a decorated war veteran, former judge and considered at the time to be kind of a progressive/liberal/new deal kind of democrat, the new face of t

what's it going to mean for southern company that you're spending $6 billion. how much do you expect to recover over the life of that say 60 years? >> oh, we'll recover the costs. i think the real benefit goes to our customers in the southeast. we believe that the energy price coming out of these projects once they're in service in 2016, 2017, will be about 0.7 cents per kilowatt hour. so that's going to be very attractive, reliable, safe, clean energy. >> you know, too, brian shactman's point just a moment ago, tom, about conditions being more favorable back in 2008 as opposed to now for nuclear reactors, does it make more sense to build new ones as opposed to say retro fitting old ones? >> well, mandy, it absolutely makes sense to continue to add to this nation's energy portfolio. there has been a general trend away from coal towards natural gas. and we share in that. but as we've said on this show before and continue to say and going back to president obama's reference to an all-of-the-above energy policy. what we need nuclear 21st century coal gas you canno
