First of all, let me say i have covered every virginias governor race since 1993 and i am hard pressed to think of a debate with more consequence than this one. Thats if part because the two have only faced off once before. That was way back in the summer when voters really were not focused on it. So this is their last facetoface debate before election day. What theyre going to be looking to do is to solidify the support they have, and then to try to shore up the places where they are weak. And what we found out yesterday in the poll is that Ken Cuccinelli is doing poorly with women. So he needs to find a way to appeal better to women than he has been doing.

Right now the senate is making progress on sending a big back to the house. That bill would have averted the looming Government Shutdown while defunding the president S Health Care act. This follows the 21hour attempt by senator cruz to stop his colleagues for killing the antiobama care provision. He was never expected to succeed but he had the fourth longest filibuster ever on record. I hope this filibuster gave the American People an opportunity to express their views and engage in this debate. He even proves his own Party Members were against his tactic. Saying blame could be placed on the republicans. The gridlock is the talk around town this afternoon. Molette green joins us now in the studio. So molette, after all the the debate still no deal to stop the shutdown. And it has a listener wondering where are the lawmakers priorities. In regards to a shut down, if congress were not to get paid, it wouldnt be a topic of discussion. They should all be ashamed of themselve themselves. Its great to hear the voice of a listener. This is indicative of the kinds of feedback that were getg from people about watching all of this thing play out here and the uncertainty that still remains for a lot of people.

I will write and call my representative but im more focused on the immediate needs what does the Health Care Law mean to me . Do i take the penalty . What do i do . Then you have people who say im concerned about what will happen if i dont get services, if theres a Government Shutdown, and if i dont get a paycheck. Because we have a lot of workers in the community who will be impacted. And we have been hearing from them as well. Its that real life stuff that gets everyones attention. All right.

Theres so much difference in grade measurements in different schools. You dont want too many internships that dont mean a lot. Starting this spring, a standardizes assessment test could help students differentiate themselves on their website. In it was a way to show my skills, i would be willing to take it. It measures a students Critical Thinking and analytical skills. We know that these are the types of skills that the employers are interested in. These are skills above and beyond content knowledge. Heart Research Associates researched 93 employees who hire graduates. 93 say those skills are more important than what a student majored in. I dont think taking an assessment would help you find a job. The real important thing is for you to give a very good pitch about who you are and what you want to do.

Today its the defenses attorney to wrap up arguments. Jennifer bjorklund is live with todays developments. Jennifer . Reporter jim, barbara, the Jackson Family says it was a career and life cut short by drugs. That Entertainment Company says the only person responsible for Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson. The truth here is a tragedy. The defense argues the case to the jury, which has seen almost 6 1 witnesses over the last five months. And make no mistake about this. It was mr. Jackson, not aeg live, that chose dr. Conrad murray. The Entertainment Company argues jackson a grown man, was responsible for his own health and health care and aeg executives are not only learn ing jackson was using these medications. Aeg would never knew this if he knew mr. Jackson was playing russian roulette every night in his bedroom. A life worth millions if not billions of dollars. Their legal team offered a dazzling overview of his life. From the jackson five to arena shows as a superstar emerged and rocketed into pop culture history. And for the first time the attorney for the Jackson Family put out a dollar amount. Personal damages of 85 million for each of jacksons three children and 35 million for his mother katherine. And those personal damages could be dwarfed by the economic damages that the jacksons could ask for. An expert testified that jackson could have made 1. 6 billion on the comeback tour had he lived. Im jennifer bjorklund, live in los angeles. Barbara, jim, back to you. You said Michael Jackson could have made 1. 6 billion if they had lived. How do they come up with the number . What do they base it on . Its interesting. The aeg attorney said thats an outlandish number. All of the ticket sales, merchandising, movies that could come from it could add up to that amount of money. Of course, thats all up to the jury. Thats the economic damage which is separate from the personal damages. 85 million per child. All right quite a big chunk of money. Jennifer bjorklund, thank you. Veronica joins us now.

He was already in the car, put it into reverse, checked the mirrors and didnt see her in the driveway. He backed right into her. I remember screaming and crying and saying there was no way this could be happening. Sky was rushed to the emergency room. When i got to see my little girl, she was she had bruises all over her face. The doctors told you shes probably not going to make it. Yeah. Amazingly sky survived, though still undergoing surgery for her eye, and shes not alone. On average 18,000 people are injured every year in backover accidents. Nearly 300 are killed. Everything we need to fix this already exists. We know if you put a rear view camera in the vehicles you can see what is behind you. Why dont all cars have them . Back in 2007 Congress Passed a liar requiring rear visibility and gave the department of transportation a 2011 deadline to get it done. But the d. O. T. Keeps delaying and delaying. Now saying they need until 2015. The senator says its typical washington bureaucracy. The department of transportation is violating the law. Its violating the statute. The president of the United States saying to his head of transportation, you must act now. They say more research is needed to ensure the most efficient rule possible. They acknowledge cameras may help save lives. Thats not good enough for safety groups. Theyre filing this lawsuit, demanding the d. O. T. Finally require those cameras before anymore kids get hurt. I want to prevent this from happening to any other family. If you dont have a camera in your car, you can buy one at most big box scores and car dealers. Most places will install them for you.
