In the week ahead, scattered snow and showers but pleasant in the nations heartland. Enjoy. Pauley 7 years ago today the battleship missouri was christened here in new york. It was stateoftheart back then. But far cry from the brand new and somewhat more controversial addition to the nations fleet. We call our sunday morning cover story reported by david martin. If batman had a warship it would look like the uss zumwalt. Welcome to the most advanced warship that the navy is bringing to the fleet. We rode with captain james kirk, no relation to star treks captain dirk, although many people noted a coincidence. Where the zumwalt with its one of a kind look was officially commissioned as a destroyer in the United States navy. Looks very different, part of the design of the ship to be stealthy. A sleek exterior without a lot of metal sticking up in different places, a smooth surface. What would President Trump think that the zumwalt costs an astronomical 4 billion. Admits tried to cram in too much technology. W just not a smart way to build a ship. Mabus got that black eye not in bureaucratic battle but from eye surgery. He spoke to us in the last full day in office. The original concept was to have this very advanced destroyer that was a land attack role, supporting ground tops, taking out enemy positions inland, having hyper precise weapons that could reach a long way inland. And to do it with the most advanced technology that we had. Those innocuous looking boxes house gun barrels capable of firing tarok ittea cysted shell more than 60 miles with pinpoint. Within the range of the ship if it were ordered to that person has about two to three minutes before they will no longer be an enemy of the United States. But like the ship, its ammunition turned out to be expensive, 800,000 per shell. So the navy is looking for a cheaper round, one that would have ha significantly shorter range. Today its still a little bit unclear exactly what round is going on that ship, what the gun system will be able to do. There are only 147 crew members aboard the highly automated zumwalt, about half of what a traditional destroyer carries. I see over there instead of look outs you now have video mob stores. Thats right. Where we typically would have look outs 247 on the port side, the starboard sight and aft we have camera systems that we dont have to have sailor. Still, says the chief petty officer there is more than enough work to do. They are brand new to the navy, we have to learn them from scratch. Is this a sweet duty assignment . Its sweet. But you got to work for it. Youre trying to catch up and technologies on board the ship and understanding whats going on. The zumwalt has already is suffered two mechanical breakdowns, one in the panama canal as it was transsitting from the east coast to its permanent home port in san diego. This street the first ship of a class. First time we got underway. Youre going to have things happen. Maybe so, but right now the navy owns a 4 billion destroyer that cannot perform as advertised. How did that happen . Its a brand new concept, new technology. Number one, its going to be expensive because some of the technology is not going to work or its going to take longer to develop. This program was started in the early 1990s. Ron orourke has tracked the zumwalt for the Congressional Research service. Originally as many of 2 of these ships were planned, but that number was cut back. What are they planning to build now . Was truncated at only three thats right. What happens if you only build a small number is the price just goes through the roof. Everything about the zumwalt is controversial, its cost, its look even its name. Because dad was so controversial in what he ha had done. We knew that there were many people in the navy that did not want the name zumwalt attached to a navy ship. Anne on the right and mousetta are the daughters of the late admiral earl mow bud zumwalt, chief of Naval Operations from 1970 to 74. He shook up what was at the time was a very hide bound service. Integrated the navy with minorities and women. He was famous for messages he sent to the fleet called zgrams, ordering an end to racism and sexism. Those are on display. Will see all religions, all races represented, its ironic the navy was behind and among the services. History has come to rcoegnize admiral zumwalt as the leader who transformed the navy of the 20th century. Uss zumwalt is easy to recognize but it will take awhile for the navy to figure out how to use it and for history to know what to think of it. Pauley coming up, dogs on a mission.

Pauley and now a page from our sunday morning almanac, january 29th, 1929, 88 years ago today. The day the organization known as the seeing eye was incorporated in nashville.

Ideally a map maker with an artists touch like the man our sorry that ultimate chew has been watching at work. Artist James Niehues might not be a household name but his work is held in the hands of millions of people every year. Do you see yourself maker . Or a landscape artist . First and foremost its a map. Then i really think its the artist coming in. I want to produce a beautiful piece. If you ski or snowboard youve probably relied on niehues work to help you get down a slope or two. Ive done maps nor 194 different resorts. Niehues is the most sought out ski map maker in the country. For the last 30 years hes created maps for big name resorts from killington in vermont to vail in colorado and a heap of others. You open up something thats pretty to look at, its been a good map for you, you based about an hour north of denver, niehues works out of his home studio. This is an area here that his process is fairly simple. I pull that out and print it. Using aerial shots, he creates a sketch. See the ridge there. Then projects that on to his easel and begins painting. Are people always surprised to learn that you hand paint these . Yes, they are. I couldnt believe it. I mean its when you could use a computer. No, i cant use a computer. You couldnt . , no i wouldnt get the same look. This is water shall automobile paint. I use a glove here. It gives the illusion of individual trees. Each ofhe hand brush stroke. Gives the illusion that there are individual trees. His latest project, breckenridge resort in colorado is one monster of a mountain. Made up of five peaks, 187 trails and 4 lifts. Whether youre a skier or a map maker, this one is no bunny trail. This is a beautiful map. You see how vast it is. I knew that i could show that and get it all in one view. People are holding this map, you have it is nice. It is art but useful. Useful in getting skiers including me down the mountain. Whenever i started these maps i didnt ski hardly at all. But im an interimmediatality skier now. Youve become a good skier because of these maps. Thats right. I had to ski. At age 72, niehues doesnt plan to put down his paint brushes. His soft spot for the slopes hasnt melted away just yet. It seems like you have a job you love. Absolutely. I love doing everything that i do. I know that i have probably the best job in the world. Pauley still to come. I think i have we catch up with actor dennis quaid. I keep coming back here. Pauley but first. Moonlight light. Its more than just a movie. Start here. Or here. Even here. And definitely here. At fidelity, were available 24 7 to make Retirement Planning simpler. We let you know where you stand, so when it comes to your retirement plan, youll always be absolutely. Clear. Time to think of your future its your retirement. Know where you stand. Pauley moonlight is a coming of age movie thats come in for a lot of critical acclaim, not to mention a bundle of oscar nominations. So, will they call out its name after they ask for the envelope please . Heres nancy giles. A timed boy claimed chiron is having a tough time growing poorest neighborhoods. You funny, man. Why you say that . You just is, thats all. The other kids taunt chiron because hes different. You ever see the way he walk. Watch your damn mouth. You gonna tell him why the other boys kick his ass all the time. His single mom is a crack addict. His surrogate parents, local drug dealer and his girlfriend. You got to decide for yourself. Moonlight is one. Seasons most talked about films. Its won the golden globe nor best picture drama was just nominated for eight Academy Awards including best picture. Not bad for an independent film made in just 25 days for less than 5 million have people noticed that there are no white in picks topicture Barry Jenkins has two more oscar nods, best director and adapted screen play. It wasnt a conscious decision but i didnt know any white people who were teachers until he was like a freshman in college. I walked in and my roommate was while. There was just no white people around. Jenkins and playwright Terrell Alvin Mccraney both grew up in liberty city, they know the neighborhood where the film takes place. This is the Elementary School that we went to at different points in times of our lives. Mccraney wrote the original script on which Barry Jenkins based moonlight. They lived a few blocks from each other but didnt actually meet until they began work on the movie. While mccraney is gay and jenkins is straight they put a lot of themselves into the story. Dont get up, brother. It happened in that space. It was probably one of the most terrifying moments for me because it was always, you just never knew what was going to happen. So lunch time could be a terrifying time for you . Never time for eating. Mccraney works is mcarthur genius grant recipient and jenkins share something terrible in common. Both of their mothers were crack users, both women became hiv positive as result. I do know there was a deep pain that she was trying to hide. You going to sell me rocks. Naomi harris has portrayed a sea goddess and Winnie Mandela among other roles. To play chiron teas mom, harris watched youtube interviews with crack users and met with a woman who struggled with addition. Concept. Like, how destructive drugs are. How does somebody get attracted to that. She has a son, i had so much judgment, actually, i really had to work very hard to overcome that judgment. What you do as an actor you are in habiting souls and asking them to come into your space, you can only do that in a nonjudgment way. I sneed money. For what . Thats my business. Chiron portrayed at three ages by three different actors. But to play little chiron, alex didnt do the preparations that the other more experienced performers did. How did you do it . I dont know. I dont know. I just went with what they told me to do. Just went from there. He is also liberty city. Hed acted in school plays but never in a movie. I hated my mom. Alex is the best screen partner that ive ever had i say that sincerely. Hes so wise for his age. Such a professional. But hes also that kid. You may know Mahershala Ali from the tv series house of cards hes also in the new movie hidden figures. In moonlight hes the father figure. What i learned in working with him was to try to do less, to not act thats important reminder for someone like myself who has been fortunate to working for a couple of decades now. How does that make you feel . Amazing. Ali is up for oscar shares two memorable scenes. One in which chiron learns to swim. I got you. Alex actually did not know how to swim. And Mahershala Ali is teaching him how to swim as a storm is coming in off the coast. Theres another scene. In which chiron learns who he is. A word used to make gay people feel bad. When you type the word faggot you saw it on the page what did you think . Bomb. I thought it was a bomb. It was scary. Am i a faggot . Nobody call you no faggot. At first i was watch see the words. How do i know . You just do. It felt sacred that day. Sacred . It did. We made a little bit of magic that day. Moonlight is far from a blockbuster, its made just 16 million so far. But its eight oscar nods and critical claims may help the movie reach a larger audience. An opportunity for us to learn about people who havent had an opportunity to speak for themselves. Its important to remind, reinforce people that their lives are value, you know, that their lives have worth. It by passes the mind and it speaks straight to your heart. And also it shows just how, like, we all on some level are damaged. You know, we are all coming from this wounded place in our search for connection and lov really helps people understand their journey and helps people understand each other. And i think now more than ever we need that reminder. How are your friends reacting to all of this . Theyre all like, tall lex, youre a big 4506 video star now. Slide me some change. And and what do you do when they say, slide me some change . I be like, i got you, but thats fabulous. Pauley david old steen on the passing of Mary Tyler Moore. Next. Actually, the biggest dinos only ate plants muum dinosaurs only eat meat and country crock is made with plants. Country crock has always been made with the goodness of plants. It has real, simple ingredients. And the same Country Fresh taste you love. Welcome to crock country. Pauley many of us are still mourning the death of tack tresmin Mary Tyler Moore at the age of 80. We have an appreciation now from our critic david edelstein. You can turn the world on with a smile since wednesday when Mary Tyler Moore died at age 80 from the ramifications of type 1 diabetes, her signature song has been everywhere, and everyones been thinking that the smile that turned the world on is no more, and maybe that all our frowns combined have turned it off. To smile again all you need is to see her in the Dick Van Dyke show where shes fresh rob. So you and i can dance. The partnership is gorgeous. Dick van dykes floppy, happy go lucky style anchored by moores ever so slight brittleness that jumpy, feline quality that made her look so right in those could prepants. But it was of course the Mary Tyler Moore show that ran from 19 0 to 19 that made her a pop culture icon. And many people have called her character, Mary Richards, an inspiration, an independent, assert tim woman in tan office full of men. What i just did wasnt it was rotten all right. Everyones rotten. But it wasnt that simple. She was only tea certificatetive after a protracted and very funny internal battle. You see her thinking, is it ce challenge the male status quo . Will mr. Grant blow up at her . That march into his office to speak up for herself is plainly terrifying. Im going to try not to i was just sitting at my desk and i dont know how i was working here marys dithering might seem retrotoday, but 47 years ago it was mainstream for the network audience, say, be tax arthurs brassy feminist maude who came along in 1972. A lot of this, youre a doctor should name a rash after you. In later years, moore spoke of the difficulty of growing up with alcoholic parents. What i know from women who grew up in similar circumstances is that they learned to be accommodating, to put a smiley fa to set off dad or mom. I think thats why Mary Richards feels authentic. Her persona isnt just a shtick its rooted in something real. Whats wrong . Three years after the Mary Tyler Moore show went off the air, Robert Redford gave moore permission in the film ordinary people to turn off her smile. To be the icy, nonempathetic, over defended person moore suspected she really was. Has no idea who her son is up to, she lied and you lied every time you came into this house. Must have been terribly challenging, also liberating stand subversive. Moores big movie career never happened. As she aged it got harder to recycle the Mary Richards persona, when she tried to go against that imagine tv movies like like m Mary Richards murders eat i. T. Bunker she often went over the top. Do you have any idea what the past years have been . There was one glorious exception. David o. Russells 1997 psycho farce flirting with disaster in which she plays a wild auto selfish rhymes with rich and use all her comic smarts. What did i just tell you . Ill always go back, though, to those twin peaks of situation comedy where Mary Tyler Moore turned her own nexturoses into hail layer just despair and self discovery that will ever, ever lose their luster. Pauley next stop. Its the mecca of modernism. Desert chic in palm springs. Pauley for tall those longing for a journey to yesteryear, a desert oasis beckons. And thanks to Margaret Brennan, well be traveling in style. Drives in palm springs is like going back in time. From the architecture to the classic cars, the city has an old school vibe. Many of the homes were built in the middle of the 20th century or patterned after that socalled mid century modern flat planes, open floor plans that bring the outside in. Even the commercial buildings in downtown palm springs have that glow of tan earlier era. The chase bank. City hall. And the local catholic church. Its the mecca of modernism, absolutely, youre lubing at that time it. Tark tech tour guide robert imber has dedicated his adult life to helping palm springs system brought its mid century cheek. So think, mad men . Absolutely. That whole country club scene, the whole mad men scene, the hair, the cigarettes, glass ashtrays, glass tables, all that swag was all mid century. After world war ii ended a knew newly wealthy middle class began settling in this desert oasis and enlisted a number of modernist architects stars. Richard neutr aa. It wasnt just cool homes and 85 degree weather this made this city a sexy destination back in the day. What gave palm springs its cool cache were the hollywood celebrities who flocked here in the 50s and 60s. With the movie studios just 100 miles away, stars like cary grant, bob hope and bing crosby built homes here in the movie colony. Their neighbor, perhaps the most famous of them all, lived within these giant hedges. The leader of the rat pack, frank sinatra. Its known as the twin palms estate for the trees that tower above the pool, sinatra lived here for a decade, during his first marriage to Nancy Barbato and his second to ava gardner. Architect e. Stuart williams convinced sinatra to bui the modern style of the day. He designed the pool in the shape of a grand piano and when the sun hit the openings in the veranda at the right angle the shadows formed piano keys. Absolutely in his 50s for young guy to enter such a venture back then was huge. David is the director of Guest Services at the estate can now be rend out for a cool 2500 per night. It is no surprise that the home was designed for entertaining, cocktails flowed as the milwaukee i can wafted across the pool. Pretty serious stereo, what is this . This is the piece of all pieces. This is an original valentino piece that Capitol Records presented back in the day, could record on to vinyl stand transmit back to the studios in hollywood. Forever the ladies man, sinatra enjoyed a master that arc cupid a wing. House. He was known to have a few companions in the bedroom. Thats very delicate. This is where the magic happened. This the walls could talk. He had a few companions, i think the last social tabloids explosion was about a young tva gardner. He was supposedly seeing having an affair with hannah turner. His affairs reportedly led to an epic fight with gardner. Who managed to duck a flying champagne bottle tossed at her by sinatra. The damage is still evident. A bottle itself cracked this in three places here. For an original sink to hold up that many years, it can only be show business. Thanks to the cool factor, palm springs renaissance in recent years. Over 70,000 people attended last years annual modernism week. The young and hip now regularly descend on the citys boutique hotels. So, that excitement, that fun, that partying, all of that stuff that is the rat pack and was hollywood in those exuberant years was happening here, and now quite referred here, so we live in houses here that maintain that and respect that and relive it. Pauley next i had to sweep floors and clean trash just to be around them. Pauley te sve hartman on a dream come true. Pauley who says you cant make a lifetime dream come true. Not the man our Steve Hartman found toiling down at the ice rink. It is one of the least glamorous jobs in the National Hockey league. Showing up before the players, washing away yesterdays dirt and grime, picking up after those too talented to bother for themselves. And yet Carolina Hurricanes equipment manager jorge alves says there is no where else hed rather be. If i had to sweep floors and clean trash just to be around them, then i did that. As a kid growing up outside boston, jorge dreamed of being a goalie in the nhl. But he was the child of janitors and goalie equipment was expensive. I knew my parents couldnt afford it. I came across a tennis racquet which happened to be my goalie stick and National Geographics strapped to my legs. For pads. Thats how it started. He eventually got on his high school team. And after a stint in the marines tried to make it in the minors. Seems like every picture youre in a different uniform. He stopped chasing the dream only after he started chasing kids. Once madison and jackson were born, he needed a real job. Hed been equipment manager ever since. Sorry for the distraction. Until recently. Last month just a few hours before a game, carolinas backup goalie got stick. Now normally thats knotted a problem, you just bring someone up from the minors. But this was stow close to game time the hurricanes had no choice. I called my wife shes like, whats going on. Im just getting ready for the game stand im dressing tonight. She sounded so happy for me and everything. Moments later, the guy responsible for cleaning everyones elses dirty uniforms had a bright new one of his own with his flame on the back. Of course, he sat the whole i got up stand started heading back toward the locker room i heard, jorge. This street one of the coolest things ive ever seen. There were sech seconds left. Carolinas down by two it didnt really matter for the score. Those seven seconds passed unremarkably. But for jorge he can say he played in the nhl. Working hard and staying committed to something. It can really make your dream come true. He may not ab pro athlete but he is exactly what kids should aspire to be.

Pauley dennis quaid played the brash mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper in the 198 film the right stuff. Now hes star in a new movie some Animal Rights activists is saying is the wrong stuff. Tracy smith questions him about that and much more for our sunday profile. Hey its me, boss dog. You might say that dennis quaid has been a bit overwhelmed lately. You. Want to get out of here . Hes made more than 70 movies but few have caused tan uproar like this one. Okay, buddy. I guess its going to be you and me. A dogs purpose is about the good dogs do for mankind. But all that sentiment took a back seat ten days ago when a like a dog being forced to do that pool stunt during filming. Lets talk about this video thats been in the news first. Have you had a chance to see the video . I was really shocked to tell you the truth. And i didnt like what i saw but i do know my own experience when i was on the set, how much care was paid to each and every dog. Or every other animal. Quaid, who is a dog owner in real life, wasnt in the water scene and had nothing to do with that part of the production. So for people who are saying boycott the film what would you say . I dont think that its nair to tell you the truth. Would never be on a set where dogs were mistreated or abused. Thats what is support talking about that. Dogs hit us place. Taken out of the car. I think this they do for us, too, they remind us of just the wonderful feeling of being alive. Simple as that. This is the beginning of the hill country. At 62, the man who spent half of his life in hollywood still keeps a place in austin, texas. So, are you a texan at heart . Yeah. I think i am. Hes also a rock star. On weekend nights like this past friday he plays local clubs with his band, dennis quaid and the sharks. Youre playing in your band tonight. Is that a hobby or is it a need . Do you need music . Its more of a need. Hes not bad with a guitar. But acting is always paid the bills. All night long dennis quaid has created some of the most memorable characters on film from the charmingly crooked cop in the big easy. You. Take that bribe stand resist arrest and tamper with evidence. Dont forget i also ran a red light, too. To a rail in this doc holliday in wyatt earp. Born stand raised in houston, dennis quaid thought about becoming a veterinarian but acting was always in his blood. My dad was a frustrated actor. And my dad brother stand i both to acting through the movies. Big brother randy got off to a fast start making his debut in 1971s the last picture show, earning an oscar nomination for his work in 1975s the last detail. But dennis had a few years of failed auditions before he finally found work. A lot of the guys that you started out with have fallen off the radar, you have endured. Why do you think that is . I have a lot of tenacity is what it is. I have an overwhelming capacity for rejection and failure. Fear of failures a great motivate tore. And, you know, it keeps you going. Going to keep calling us cutters. By 1979 he found his footing in films like breaking away. Just a dirty word. A chance to be. Going to take that off of him . I seen what you done. You may be family and everything but i taint siding with you. The quaid brothers worked together. Do you have favorite movies . Sure. For me was the right stuff. Me . Im an astronaut. Not necessarily by how much money they did or even how good they were or turned out. But how the experience i had when i was making them. And with the right stuff i had everything. Its a great film. Gordo. He played his boyhood hero astronaut gordon gordo cooper. I loved the name gordo. If they ever make a moviebo this i want to play gordo so bad. Through the window now. Oh, lord, what a heavenly light. It was like one of those times in life where, you know, somebody wants it so bad it actually happens. The light is coming through the window. I think its broken. Better your toe than your heart. Quaid met his second wife meg ryan on the set of 19 87 interstate he was working hard and partying harder. The cocaine days were fun. Its fun, then its fun with problems. I got to the problem stage. How bad did it get . I was doing like two grams a day. It was enough, i was getting tan hours sleep a night. Not a lot of sleep. Not a lieutenant. You were with meg ryan at the time. How much did she help you . So supportive. In fact she didnt even know that i think that its done. How did you hide it from her . Since then hes been a clean and reliable Box Office Star who has been known to stir up oscar talk now and again. Was that kind of annoying . Theres all this oscar buzz . I cant Pay Attention to it. Sure. Its nice to win awards and all that. Its nice that people recognize what you do or whatever. But its nice. But its not the be all and end all. Sa the guy who doesnt have an oscar. Oscar or not hes first to admit how lucky hes been. In 2007 quaid and Kimberly Buffington nearly lost their newborn twins when hospital staff gave them an blood thinkers. The babies survived must seem all the more precious now. You appreciate life when you go through Something Like that. Thats really what i say, thank god we had a happy ending. The twins, tom autos and zoe were at a family party in austin to honor their grandmother, juanita, on her 0th birthday. Quaid calls her his rock stand says she taught him to get through the dark times by keeping his eyes on the light tea head. Are you optimistic . Yeah i am. Naturally i am. There are moments but naturally i think ive been kind of optimistic. I think Better Things are always going to come. They usually do. If you hang around long enough. Pauley ahead. Parallel lives. N to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. Astra zeneca may be able to help. That Airline Credit card yout . Have. It could be better. Its time to shake things up. With the capital one venture card, you get double miles on everything you buy, not just airline purchases. Seriously, think of all the things you buy. Great. Is this why you asked me to coffee . Well yeah. But also to catchup. Whats in your wallet . Pauley nanny young women in the 1970est saw themselves in the tv character played by Mary Tyler Moore. Among them rita braver. Of course we all loved Mary Tyler Moore but i was her alter ego, Mary Richards. The first girl, and yes, they called me girl producer, in my local newsroom. It wasnt minneapolis, like mary, but new orleans, wwltv. I was 23 years old, a year out of college and the news director who interviewed me had the same response that lou grant did. Figure to hire a man. We can talk about it. Gruff but just as kind hearted as lou grant, ultimately told me that i got hired because they couldnt find a guy to take it for the money they were paying. The job pays 10 less a week than secretarial job. 72 a week to be exact. 56 take home. Even in 1971, that was a pittance. But women my age still remember a time when bosses would openly pay women less than men. It suffers called getting your foot in the door. If you can get by on 15 less a week well make you a producer. No, i think all i can afford is associate producer. Still, make Mary Richards i loved my job. Making decisions about what would get on our news broadcasts, reading reporters copy and having them sometimes take my suggestions. Then of course, having them ask t anniversary presents. But heres the thing. The Mary Tyler Moore show really helped women in newsrooms. Seeing her on tv made them realize we were here to stay. Yes, they would ask me to go charm the grouchy old guy in graphics. But they would also take me on dangerous assignments like going into new orleans prison, when i would argue for more vietnam war coverage in lieu of a lighter feature id often win. And i honestly believe that the character of Mary Richards helped demonstrate that you could be a team player, get ahead, not have to become one of the boys. It was a proud moment when i left to join cbs and my boss told me he wanted to hire more women. He didnt say girls. Pauley s trifiling, next. So for once ive got plenty of time. Whats going on . So those financial regulations being talked about . They could affect your accounts, so lets get together and talk, and make sure everythings clear. Thanks. Yeah. That would be great. Weve grown to over 900 billion in assets under care. By being proactive, not reactive. Its how edward jones makes sense of investing. Tomorrows the day besides video games. Every day is a gift. Especially for people with Heart Failure. But today theres entresto. A breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. Tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. In the largest Heart Failure study ever, entresto was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading Heart Failure medicine. Women who are pregnant must not take entresto. Dont take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. If youve had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, dont take entresto. The most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. Tomorrow, im gonna step out with my favorite girl. Ask your doctor about entresto. And help make the gift of tomorrow possible.

Because with a name like smuckers, it has to be good. Pauley many experts in electricity are truly juiced these days. Theyre pew suing the search for the super battery, the title of this wednesday nights episode of nova on pbs hosted by our own david pogue of yahoo tech. We have a preview. You probably grew up thinking that batteries are those things we put in flashlights. Or maybe the rechargeable ones that come in cell phones and laptops. But lately batteries have been popping up in much bigger andgets like electric cars. D now its time to install batteries into the biggest machine of all, the United States electrical grid. That huge, aging complex network of power plants and wires that bring power to our homes and building. Why would our National Power sy two gigantic reasons. We dont have a shortage of electricity. We have a shortage of electricity at certain times. We have an abundance at other times. Mike hopkins is an expert on the National Power storage problem and ceo of taco that hopes to solve it. Im sure you know the electricity system has huge surpluses in it, at night time actually, that have to be literally wasted that has terrible deficits at other times of day, peak hours, which results, how do you know that, blackouts. Thats the first reason we need batteries on the electrical grid. To even out the supply and demand. To time shift availability from night time to daytime. But reason number one is more important to our feature. Power plant batteries would eliminate the biggest problem with solar power and wind power. They are both intermittent. Clouds come over on a sunny day all of that sudden its gone. Wind stops blowing, its you need a way to store it. Some have proposed using huge banks of regular rechargeable batteries like the ones in our cell phones. But thats massively expensive and their life span is far too short. Which is why some companies have begun creating batteries that dont look like batteries. Here in bath county, virginia, they have set up a dam and two reservoirs. During the day, when people need power, the water flows downhill, spinning turbines and generating electricity. Then at night, when power is cheap, they pump the water back uphill. They call this system pumped hydro. Unfortunately, pumped hydro works only in a few places where they have those upper and lower reservoirs. But american inventors arent finished yet. Which brings us back to mike hopkins. Word is that your new battery is environmentally perfect, can be charged and re cheaper than lithium ion. I can show it to you right now if you want me to. Yes, please. Here is the big reveal. Its a block of ice. A beautiful block of ice. Hopkins company is called ice energy. He invited me to a winery in temecula, california, to show me his product, the ice bear. Its basically thatuge bathtub that freezes water solid overnight when energy is very cheap. So far, what youve described is basically a big ice tray. How does that help anybody . Well, the way it works is that during the heat of the day after this is ice, you get to the heat of the day this device is connected to that device, which is just a common conventional rooftop air conditioner. That air conditioner doesnt have to create cooling, its getting ice cold refrigerant from the melting ice over in this device. Using only 5 of the electricity. In total, if you were having to run that electricity consuming device. In other words, these ten ice batteries can replace the winerys air conditioners for six hours a day. As a result, the winery saves electricity and lowers greenhouse gasses by 20 tons a year. Thats an important step in fighting climate change. Now, thawing ice isnt the only force of nature that can store grid energy. Lets take a look. Spin the wheel. Each of the pointsghe tire and the rim is in motion and voila, energy storage. Seth sanders is the cofounder of amber kinetics near san francisco. And this bike is supposed to illustrate how their grid batteries work. So here comes the sun, im shining on your solar panels. Im charging up the flywheel, that i get. How do i get this stored energy back into the grid . An electric machine function as a motor and equally well as a generator. In other words, amber kinetics uses cheap electricity at night to spin up enormous fly wheels. Then during the day, a generator captures that momentum. The flywheel slows down, the generator creates electricity. And these wheels arent exactly bike wheels. How do these babies weigh . About 5,000 pound. How fast will it be spinning . Thousands of rpm. 8,000 rotations a minute. But the coolest part is how they keep friction from slowing down that big steel wheel. First, they use a huge magnet levitates that 5,000 pound wheel so that its just barely resting on its bearings. Second, they seal the flywheel into this vacuum theres no air friction either. Each flywheel can store four hours worth of electricity. The result a battery that never loses charging capacity, cant catch fire and lasts for decades. All over the world the quest is on to invent storage for our electrical network. Something cheap,at thto sres a lot and lasts for decades. It might be gravity or ice or spinning disks or some other idea. Or maybe all of the above. But once we have them, we can reduce blackouts, cut down on pollution, capture the power of the wind and let solar power really start to shine. Give extra. Get extra. Dont let the food you eat during the day haunt you at night. Nexium 24hr. Shuts down your stomachs active acid pumps. To stop the burn of frequent heartburn. All day and night. Have we seen them before . Banish the burn with nexium 24hr. Pauley before we say our goodbyes a few more thoughts about mary. In the days since she passed away, ive been struck by how proprietary people feel about memories of Mary Tyler Moore. When i was a young woman starting out in this business, im proud to confess that Mary Richards was my inspiration. I guess thats why so many of us know and will always remember her as our mary. A and on the subject of larger than life figures they dont come much bigger than tom brokaw whose 50 years at nbc we salute tom and i were partners a long while ago so its a personal thrill to say, congratulations, tom, my friend, the legend. And now we head to John Dickerson in washington for look at whats ahead on face the nation. Good morning, john. Dickerson good morning, jane.
