Of this season, the africanamerican poet from dayton ohio, Paul Lawrence dunbar writes, oh summer has clothed the earth in a cloak from the loom of the sun. And a mantle, too, of the skys soft blue and the belt where the river run. Oh ye who toil in town and ye who moil in the mart, hear the artless song and your faith made strong shall renew your joy of heart. The fruits of the earth from the bounty of our land are all your gift and we praise you this day o god, for all who labor for our sustenance and those who govern our nation. Amen.

There. Or if thats connected to all the violence. We will continue to follow this story throughout the newscast and keep you updated. And right now at 5 00, hang on to your hats. The end to a blustery day. The system that sent winds like these pushing around equipment at the desmoines airport. The weather turned severe to our west. But here in our area weve gotten strong winds and as this moves out some very cold weather will be moving in. Brace yourself. Good evening, im dawn tim into. Im chris oconnell. Theres a cold weekend ahead. Lets get right to chief meteorologist Scott Williams for an idea of what we are facing this weekend. Hi, scott. Hi, chris and dawn. Were looking at winds of change across the area. Area of low pressure now well to the north but High Pressure off to the south. So get that wind tunnel effect.

Is that we dont have a dog in the fight. So we dont have a reason to say to them, youre not making the world a better place. And until we do, or until were willing to say it regardless of the fact we dont have a dog in the fight, were not going to be effective. In our own political in getting our political will understood by our own government, and i think this is across the board, from the tea party to occupy, everyone believes the same thing. We are not a safer country today as a result of the war of the last 14 years, and washington is in a bubble that doesnt hear it and doesnt see it. Okay. So the first person who goes out there and buys a book and brings it back for me to sign, would you bring me a cookie, please, and thank you for coming tonight, and please buy a book and ill sign it for you when you bring it to me at the podium.

Different consent points. So here, in creating that market, its allowing new perspectives to enter into the market pay areas and launch consumers and give consumers a new choice. I have a general question for anyone if youd like to speak on it. Im trying to get a sense of each of your view what fair market value means for your perspective. And im happy to have anyone. But im really just trying to understand how the Consent Decree stands in the way of achieving it as well. But, to anyone, we can start down here with ms. Matthews.
