he represented the state of wyoming. during that time, i can remember the work that he and alan simpson did together, alan simpson, another retired senator from wyoming. he died yesterday. he was 78 years old. senator wallop was a fine man. his roots in wyoming stem back to pioneer ancestors and the bighorn. although he was born in new york, he served his country admirably in the army and then worked for many years as a cattle rancher and businessman before running for office. he was extremely good friends with the great nevadan paul axel. there were occasions where i didn't agree with him on political issues, but he was always an agreeable man, a very fine man, and i honor his service today, both as a soldier and a senator, and certainly will miss him, as everyone in wyoming will and all of his colleagues who worked with him here in the senate. mr. president, in my office right across the hall, i have a wonderful picture painted by a nevadan. it's a big, big painting. it shows this handsome young man on this horse with

wyoming is proud to have the most active participation in that program. upon his retirement from congress, senator wallup founded frontiers of freedom, a conservative think tank promoting individual freedom, fewer federal regulations, and smaller government. he was a man of supreme integrity, incredible intellect, and quick wit, humble to a fault, and exceedingly kind. i am told he always had time to ask a capitol hill elevator operator or police officer about their family on his way to a vote. he had a tremendously devoted staff, many of whom worked for him for the full 18 years of his tenure in the senate. finally malcolm wallup was a descendent of a entrepreneurial pioneer family. senator wallup's grandfather served not only in england's parliament but the wyoming legislature. the first polo field in the united states was built on the familiar ranch at big horn, wyoming. senator wallup was a man blessed with four wonderful children, many grandchildren, and his wife, isabelle. my thoughts and prayers are with his family. in their time of sadness, let th

take a look behind me, you can see this coffee kiosk turned over on its side moved down here into wyomingsee an ice machine on people's porches. we see front lawns littered with trash. all the remnants of all the flood that happened earlier this week. they hope that later today people can get back in their houses as of now they're asking people to stay away. >> look at that mess. thanks so much. we appreciate that. >>> across america this morning president obama has signed a federal disaster declaration for parts of texas devastated by wildfires. near houston more people have been forced to evacuate their homes as a fire flared up again. more than 1700 homes have been destroyed and hundreds of thousands of ablgers have been burned. >>> in california a house once owned by jack nicholson has gone up in flames. firefighters had some trouble getting that fire because the house is on the side of a hill. two firefighters sufficiented from heat exhaustion and the person who lives there now escaped unharmed. nicholson moved out in 1977. >>> in oakland california ark standoff between police and gu

wild game and roosevelt spent most of his time hunting and he took long trips out to montana and wyoming to hunt grizzly bears and elk and so on. mountain goats. and then he would write books about this and he made quite a bit of money on it and he made frequent trips home to visit his family so he never stayed in the badlands more than four months at a time. during the three years or so that he was ranching he spent a total of about 360 days out there just coming and going. foster a man was unlikely cowboy material was theodore roosevelt in 1884. his new york accent was even grating to new yorkers. it was kind of a snob accent. and also, you know, that set him apart immediately among the cowboys but then also as i said he wasn't a man of much stature weighing under 140 pounds and he also had some ex sixtee things the cowboys couldn't understand. he shaved every day and brushed his teeth every day and he also slept of his head on top of a rubber pillow and he had an inflatable pillow that he took with him and he had a rubber bathtub shipped out to him so he could take baths but that wasn

take a look at wyoming avenue, because this is a major thoroughfare in the borough of west pitson, andis inundated with the susquehanna river. you can see in a little piece of irony, there is the water street blij a bridge and the sign saying no crossing that bridge. and several of the neighborhoods on the river's edge are waterlogged. 350 homes have suffered some water damage the mayor says which is 25% of the homes in this burorough, and we have gotn new information about the crest of the susquehanna and it is reported it was 13.9 inches, by it has been revised over to 42 feet which is a record quest surpassing hurricane agnes, and the good news is that the levees have held. you are asking me, if the levees have held why is west pittson inundated? that is because there are no levees here. in wilkes bubury and 44th, ther are reports of seepage coming above the levees on the other side, but no major bleaches to report at this hour. >> thank you, anne thompson, for that report. >>> and right now, we are watching the potential of two tropical storms as well as a hurricane churning in the

arizona, new mexico, utah, nevada, most of colorado, part of oklahoma, a piece of texas, part of wyoming all with no ban on slavery. so while the north could get california, one could imagine all of these other states coming into the union as slave states and, of course, people say well, you can't grow cotton in that part of the region. until, of course, they irrigate arizona and they irrigate west texas. but you can mine in those states and historically slave labor was always used for mining and it was used for mining in the south at this time. southerners look upon this as a great victory. then the congress gives an enormous amount of money to pay off its debt from the republic period and then it takes a piece of new mexico and gives it to texas. not as far as santa fe but all the way to el paso, far more texas had ever had when it was a mexican province, when it was a mexican state, the state of texas. and then congress bans the slave trade. the slave trade. which, of course, is a meaningless gesture because you could take your slaves across the river to alexandria and auction them of

they are in 21 states from arizona to wyoming.r it has been difficult trying to gauge tim pact on student learning. no one has done any broad analysis of test scores for students in these four day programs. let's bring in the former principal of the american indian model schools. ben, we've been asking about this all morning on twitter. i have to say pretty controversial. the reaction so far has been negative. people are saying this really isn't a good idea. especially if we want to compete in a global economy. you think that there are pros to this. >> no, i don't. i think these people are stupid. i think these people are cheating the tax payers. he said less is better. let's cut his paycheck and see if that's better. in china they're going to school 230 days. when we go to four-day week those students only have 144 days. they're dropping from 180 to 144 days. there's no way we can compete with the chinese. this is nonsense. we're cheating families. fax payers. >> ben, we were just watching that report there from lee and there was
