jane: i'm jane skinner, happen "happening now", senator-elect scott brown about to drop the elect from the title, officially getting sworn in hours from now, his status, what that means for democrats, the republicans and the president's agenda. jon: top officials meeting at the white house, summon dollars there by president obama and for the first time in a long time, health care is not topping the agenda. we'll tell you what is. jane: in the bottom box, new troubles for toyota this morning, this time it involves the popular hybrid car the prius, the transportation department has announced it is now taking action. we're working these stories and a whole lot more from our fox news room. that's where it all happens. we begin with democratic leaders meeting with president obama at the white house, talking about how to improve the unemployment situation in this country. this comes just about an hour after senate democrats spoke out about a new jobs bill, proposals for this new measure include e

jane? jane: adam, thank you. get more on this story from adam saddling up with the border preschool there, see more exclusive video, go to foxnews.com/live shot right on our web site. jon: as you probably know, there are laws requiring child safety seats in cars, but what about airplanes? should the airline industry be required to make sure that babies and small kids are put in special seats for their flights? right now the faa encourages parents to use such seats, but they are not required. brian wilson is live in washington with more on this. why the double standard here, brian? why require car seats for infants but not require special seats on airplanes? >> reporter: it's a great question, jon, and it drives aviation safety experts absolutely crazy. first, what do you do in a crash situation if you've got a child in your arms? perhaps the bigger concern, unexpected turbulence. take a listen. >> you know, when everything's supposed to be all stable and you're flying along and all of a sudden the jet hits clear

sail, jane. jane: didn't some of the senators try to do something similar last year and why would they expect a few months later for it to be any more successful? >> reporter: they d last year they tried to get an amendment attached to the appropriations bill, that was senator graham heading that up, trying to cut off any funding that would allow the trials to come to the u.s. to be done in civilian courtrooms. he lost that 54-45 and moss democrats lined up in standing with the administration, saying they had to give them every possible channel for trying terrorists and said the gop was essentially blocking the terror suspects from being brought to justice. this time around they've got that important bipartisan support that could make the difference. there were 200 victims and family members of the 9/11 victims who sent a letter to the senate last year hoping to get this passed, this time around with that bipartisan support they may have more luck. we'll learn a lot more from that press conferenc

your thoughts on all this, jane? >> i have to say, perhaps she's a very good actress because she seemed sincere to me. and tonight on issues, we're going to have her attorney gloria allred on live to talk about why this woman, joslyn james is stepping forward, she says she was a victim of violence, and maybe she's telling the truth. you might want to judge her because she's an adult film star, but my feeling is, she's an american, she has the right to speak out if she wants to, and if she's offended by this, she's offended. >> i don't think people are thinking about that when they're buying these golf balls, they're thinking about the novelty and the joke value of it. brooke, let's get you in on this. she's also unveiling some pretty steamy text messages from tiger, right? >> she says she's got about 100 text messages from tiger woods and that she was with him for a year and she says that she thought tiger truly loved her. and this is a man that she knew was deceiving his family, so why wouldn't she believe that he w

that's a misnomer, isn't it, jane? >> you know, i think mostly you think about heart disease being for men, but actual formal women, it is the number one killer of women. you are ten times more likely to die of heart disease as a woman today than all the cancers put together. and it's a silent killer. that's the terrible thing. there are no symptoms at all. you have no idea, and it happened to me so i know it firsthand. >> larry: wayne, dr. isom, what should the president be doing now? i was told after the procedure, don't exercise for a week to ten days. take a little more aspirin. >> that's it, and stay away from barbecue and chicken fried steak and mexican food, things like that. watch your diet. >> larry: his doctor said it was not due to lifestyle or diet. how do they know? >> well, you know, i have a different perspective, and i can't talk about the president directly, but i can say in general, for them to say that lifestyle, diet, exercise, stress really don't have anything to do with whether a bypass clogs up i

. >> our team coverage begins in northern virginia with jane watrel. hi, jane. >> well, hi, pat. there are unlucky communities where at least i guess on the good side they have power but on the tough side, their roads have not been plowed. this next storm is the ultimate one-two punch. i'm talking about specifically a community out in burke, virginia, near lake braddock road. we were out there a few hours ago. we saw just how treacherous it is for even a car to get down the street. one of the streets was old burke lake road, did get one pass. a brave driver tried to go down there and get to his house. but the problem was he gets stuck. and none of the other streets near this particular street have been plowed. so there's been a lot of frustration. we talked to the driver. here's the tips that he offered us. >> i got over here coming down the road. it was a little ridge. it just slid right into the -- it's a good car, but things happen. it goes to prove that even with a four-wheel-drive, you can't take anything into -- you know, you can't expect the best. >> i think that is a good

. >>> let's go back to jane watrel. jane, you said earlier -- she's in alexandria. you said this did not feel like a wednesday. that hits it on the head there. it does not feel like wednesday because nobody has been out today. >> no. that's true, jim. it's been almost a virtual ghost town down here in old town alexandria. we're on the end near the masonic temple, near the king street metro stop, which is normally so busy. just chalk full of people. today you can take a look, just empty. i want to call your attention to one thing. take a look. we're seeing pavement for the very first time. about a half hour ago, alexandria must have decided to start plowing and salting and sanding its roads again because some giant snow plows have come right down king street and they're really starting to clear away this now. as i said earlier in the last hour, it feels like things are clearing. we're really not getting any accumulation of snow, b we are getting a lot of blowing winds. let's look at the buildings. you can see the -- the wind gusts, shoveling the snow around, blowing

there was a major hurricane called hurricane jane, which hit the city of gonaives which left 5,000 dead. houses engulfed in mud. children dead. and i wrote this poem and after

jane, i will start with you. what is the latest? how did they connect the dots back to jackson on this burned body they found. >> this is a very complex, confusing case that broke in our area early monday morning when we received a report that two newspaper carriers saw a body on fire in a park in muncie, which is in rockland county, new york, and police really had no idea who this woman was. she had no identification except for a tattoo on her le lower ba with the name patricia on it. there were some other indications that made them check local hospitalishospitals. they were really stymied until we started hearing reports of a child found locked in the restroom at a gas station in delaware almost three hours away, and people started to wonder or we started to hear that perhaps these two cases were related. >> what is the time line? do you know, jane, from when the burned body was found as opposed to when the little girl was found it is gae station? >> yes. the burned body was reported to police at 5:30 a.m. on monday. apparently wh

let's check in with jane watrel. she is in alexandria. how is it looking over there now, jane? >> it's looking good, doreen. it's nightfall now. there's just a light breeze with snow flurries going. nothing like the winds that we experienced earlier. we've got the great signs of life. we've got snow plows. this is obviously a private contractor behind me. the city of alexandria's snow plows have been going up and down the streets, clearing things out, getting things ready. we talked to the mayor. they'll be out here all night clearing roads even though there won't be schools tomorrow and a lot of the services as far as like city hall services won't be going. i want to show you what things looked like earlier today with near whiteout conditions. i want to show you video that we shot of the masonic temple, which is a huge symbol that can be seen for miles in old town alexandria. the masonic temple, which is on a hill, was -- you could barely make it out. you could barely make out the outline of it. and also driving around the city was very treacherous in these conditions. fortuna

jack was thrilled that the great jane mansfield was coming on. now, in those days jane was almost as huge, sex symbol star, blonde as marilyn monroe, not quite. buxom, beautiful, buxom. jack threw out all the introductions, and he throw out all our introductions out again and then rejected them a third -- "you guys never give me anything i can use." and i got kind of annoyed. and i just went up and typed one live. "here they are, jane mansfield." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: "here they are." that's fantastic. i loved it. i love that. now, we talked a little bit. you -- you also gave me a copy of your book. i can't believe how awesome and accurate this book is now. i mean, this is 1974 it came out. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i looked through it. i'm reading a caption of like -- the chapter about how there is fallout of a guest and you're like, "well, can we get --" you don't say the name, "like s fell out." "can we get d?" and you go, "no, we called d, but we can get r." and you go, but they are actually names of people. and it really --

jane watrel is over in virginia. she's in alexandria. what's happening over there? >> cabin fever is huge here in alexandria. we're starting to see signs of life here. with me is the mayor of alexandria. he's going to talk about what's happening in the city. i know, mayor, you were out shoveling all day today like many of our residents. >> of course. you know, this is the best thing to do so you don't have cabin fever. what i want to stress, i want to thank the city employee whose have been working pretty much around the clock. since 7:00 a.m. friday morning when the storm came through and now the second. they just have been doing a great job. and compliment our citizen whose have been very patient and listened to the call to stay in so that they can remain safe and stay off the streets so we can get the streets plowed and cleared. also, i want to make mention of the fact that we have been today -- crews have been out checking on buildings. buildings and schools and everything else for structural -- make sure that they have no damage or anything and that -- if there

jane watrel is live in alexandria with some of their stories. jane? >> well, wendy, in northern virginia, it seems like neighborhoods are being divided into the haves and the have-nots, those who are able to drive their cars into the outside world and those who can't. >> there hasn't been a plow here in -- well, there hasn't been a plow here. >> reporter: it's been near whiteout conditions in this neighborhood, untouched by plows since friday and patience is wearing thin. >> people who live here have dug themselves out and they've done a lot of this with shovels. not even trucks or anything like that. >> reporter: especially when some who live here have spotted vdot snow plows right down the street passing them by. >> there's equipment sitting on the side of the road idling. that's what we're confused about. what's the plan there given that we have streets that have not seen plows and people continue to get stuck. >> reporter: so necessity is the mother of invention. from walking to nearby stores for food -- >> we have bagel bites. i got the frozen fr

reporting live in northwest, i'm jane watrel. back to you, jim. >> thank you, jane. >>> coming up in our next half hour, our winter weather team coverage continues. we'll look at how all the snow can affect your mental health. >>> the snow may have caused a small fire earlier today. it was on the tracks at the bethesda metro stop on the redline. trains had to share one track between friendship heights station and medical center. we're told the insulation along the rails apparently caught fire. it's a problem triggered by wet conditions along the tracks. there were no reports of any injuries or damage to the cars. the station remained open during the incident. trains are running normally once again. >>> mounting pressure from the federal government on toyota's global recall. a hearliing on capitol hill addressed toyota's troubles. >> but some of today's testimony added to the confusion. liz crenshaw is here to sort it all out. >> it was a bit confusing this morning, wendy and jim. today ray lahoud spoke before a house appropriatio

. >>> i'm jane valez-mitchell. just when you thought the john edwards sex scandal couldn't get any sleazier, it does. now there's rumors and reports of not one but possibly two alleged sex tapes. his former aide andrew young claims he has a sex tape featuring edwards and a visibly pregnant woman that he believes is edwards' then mistress rielle hunter. meanwhile, rielle hunter admits she made a very private, very personal tape with edwards back in 2006 and wants it back. the problem is hunter had her baby in 2008. she obviously wasn't pregnant for two years. so are they talking about two different personal private tapes? if these sex tapes do exist, edwards was being even more wildly self destructive. so why stop at just one tape? don't even think of doing a sex tape if you're running for president is asking to be caught. that's my issue. >> find out what else jane has on her mind. watch "issues with jane valez-mitchell" on hln. >>> a study finds an abstinence only sex education class may delay middle schoolers fro

i'm jane watrel. back to you, doreen. >> got to get creative out there. >>> in maryland, officials say they're running low on supplies to treat the roads. today governor o'malley urged drivers to stay off the roads if they can. >> i'm not sure how much firmer we can be except to say if you don't have to drive, do not drive. do not go out on the roads. keep your car off the road soez that emergency vehicles and the plows can do what they need to do. >> the governor also said officials cannot shut down roads because it takes too many state resources to turn the drivers away. >>> the governor is also keeping an eye on the coming storm. john has more on what the governor had to say about that. >> jim, that's right. here's out here in maryland. we're in the parking lot of this home depot. people are getting shovels to salt. interestingly enough, salt is something the county says they are running dangerously low on. look at the video we shot earlier today. this is a look at the command center over in forest

jane watrel is in northwest d.c. now with more on this. jane? >> well, hey, jim. if all this holds true, this will be the third snowstorm in a week. and that is causing a scramble everywhere from hospitals to medical clinics to public services. digging out this morning was relatively easy. as t$inches of snowfall melted away. but with a strong possibility of another snow emergency looming, places like george washington university hospital are bracing for the aftermath. >> we see a lot of injurie in the -- in theÑi morning because whatever has been on the ground has frozen and people are just not aware of how well the surfaces are treated. >> reporter: area utility companies that deal with electrical power lines are looking at how their crews might have to deal with friday's anticipated storm. not just the snow but possible high winds. >> this snow could be wet, similar to what we had this morning. the trees sag, the branches sag, our power lines sag. so we had heavy snow on the lines and then the winds start blowing. we could see power outages. >> reporter: as of

i'm jane velez-mitchell and that's my issue. >> find out what else jane has on her mind. don't miss issues with jane velez-mitchell every week night at 7:00 eastern right here. >>> are schools dumbing down their curriculum. usa today reports it's come to that. pennsylvania last month dropped comprehensive exams that thousands of students were failing. the paper adds both arkansas and ohio as well as other states set passing grades for some classes below 40%. and it says in some years new jersey graduated about 15% of students who had failed their exams at the exit -- or exit exams. 24 don't use end of course or graduation exams at all. so are we completely devaluing a diploma? richelle carey is here with your views on this. >> it kind of does come down to that. i think you summed that up really well. are there flaws in the system? are we requiring less of kids to graduate? really what started all of this? are we just dumbing things down? we want to talk about this. we've gotten a lot of responses. some people say that it's about the fact that we focus too much on testing.

so, our not for profit partner was jane adams hallhouse. our after care provider was the jewish community center. and so kids could hang out, have snacks, stay there all afternoon from 3 to 6 doing homework, whatever. can still take advantage of all the james place activities all afternoon. it's simply criminal to throw 600 students out into the universe at 3:00 in the afternoon when you can just invite 30 into the school. keep all of that energy into the school. what we were trying to do was free the soccer mom and free us from having our weekends cluttered up with all of this junk. right, moms? not junk. but who wants to spend their weekends schlepping kids all over the city? certainly not me. this was a way to bring it all in. the next thing, which was a real pickle was for the academic team. no one was going to come in just for ballet or sports. we really had to raise the academic bar. i should say i don't know anything about early childhood education. i don't have a background in it. i know happy when i see it and sad when i see it, an

now, let's switch gears and go to jane miller, standing by live with an update on the situation. >> just to follow up on two things the governor said. first of all, he talked about the fiscal impact. this has been a tough season. in the city of baltimore, we were told today that the city is down to about its last 300 in its snow removal budget, and probably by around 8:00, they are through that. they have already been laying salt. this is obviously going to be a very expensive storm. secondly, you talked about the national guard. the mayor has told us that the national guard is providing 12 humvees, mostly deployed around the fire stations, for assisting medics, and also to assist the police. the most significant are these. number one, no parking in a snow emergency routes. look for those signs that are posted -- no parking in snow emergency route. suddenly, the mayor has suspended the closing of fire houses, which was a budgetary move -- secondly. third, they have also suspended the circulator bus which just started running earlier in january. that has been suspended this is the mayor's

we have a question on videotape from jane in connecticut. go, jane. >> my husband and i have a lot of credit card debt, which we are working hard at eliminating. we're keeping up with our payments, but we don't feel like we're making much progress. would debt management be something that we could look into to help us make more headway? >> i can see you nodding your head, jean. >> well, absolutely. david talked a little about debt management before. a debt management program will essentially give you a way to lower your interest rates to a place around 6%, much lower than they probably are now, which enables you to pay off more debt faster. there is a fee for getting into a debt management program, and one of the things that you may want to consider doing is calling all of your credit card companies and seeing at this point if you can get them to not -- to lower the interest rates themselves so that you can pay off that debt. some of them are more willing to do this if you use the words "internal hardship" and you say that you're willing not

so jane adams hull-house manages this culture aal medusa. you will give your money to jane and she's in charge of programming and all that and so they're in change of it and then you can do all that stuff but that money just gets filtered right back into the provider. so that's the real key, right? how do you fund that one position? and, you know, that's a constant -- a constant source of anxiety for my little school even now. even with all the great things that we've been able to do, which is how -- where's that $40,000 going to come from? now, my school does not have money for pencils. my school is now so well off at 45% basically free and reduced lunch that our building works at a quarter of the budget of a similarly sized school in chicago that is an underprivileged school. so we work on a really, really bare bones limited budget. so where's that $40,000 going to come from? and in all the crazy schemes that are floating around and fancy schemes that are floating around d.c. these days, think about what the return is on your investment. o

last year in december of '09, nine officers and personnel on a ship, the uss james williams, jane williamses, i believe, were all dismissed because the frattization cases. this is a distraction you can't afford on a sub. >> but that wasn't a sub. >> right, that wasn't a sub, there is a problem there and that wasn't a submarine. you can't afford in a submarine type of atmosphere, nuclear submarines, you can't afford to have that type of decision traction and it is a rellistic rellistic -- realistic one. >> because you have a few bad apples it is wrong to deny a military person to advance to the greatest level in their career. you're stunting their military growth and only by opening that up will we provide the opportunities they very well deserve and have worked toward get. >> i have flash backs to tale hook and the problems there. if the military procedures in this fashion they have t proceed with caution and very slowly. it is the only chance of ship that women aren't serving on and it could be a fairness issue and they will start with the larger ships that can acome to indicate separate ro

in the new issue of new yorker jane has a story about the decision to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in new york. and some unhappiness she reports within the white house especially, chief of staff rahm emanuel by the attorney general to do that. was that a mistake? >> no. the attorney general was responding under the protocol that was developed between the department of justice and the department of defense for the prosecution of terrorists. and he made the decision on that basis. rahm has the perspective that's different. he's the chief of staff. he looks at things from a legislative perspective. he looks at other perspectives that the attorney general was ruling on his view of what the law commanded in that point. but we have, believe me, we have disagreements all the time within the white house, within the administration. that's as it should be. people have various perspectives and various points of view. >> let me ask you also on the same subject of detainees. part of senator scott brown's election hinged on this idea. he made the case that the united states is now giving new rights

years has such an idea that when he ran for president in 1928 he was supported if by people such as jane addams of the whole house, how he could have turned out to hold such right wing views when he became president and even more so after he left the white house. i would say with respect to his greatest shortcoming, that there adulate to that bring together. one was that simpson -- that he could not relate to people. he could not as president of the united states understand that he was the head of state and that he had to give it the american people even if they couldn't do much about it a feeling that he cared. the sculptor whom of mount rushmore said that if you put a rose in hoover's hand it would wealth.

you think, i am so in love with david or jane. that's the truth. you can't deconstruct that. and is eternal and in part of us for ever, and for some reason, the biologists and geneticists are trying to figure out and evolutionary biologist also have some theories about a very small minority of human beings have that experience with members of the same gender. there you have it. it's an experience that seems to be in every culture at every time in every place. and is not, therefore, socially constructive. a huge amount of the rest of it is, but when you get all the way down, there is some core solid concrete beneath the earth that is reality. and that is what we call sexual orientation. there's also something rather bizarre to my mind about liberationism and coherence politically. because we're liberationists are really against gay oppression. but shouldn't they actually, if they were consistent be seeking gay oppression? isn't the expense of the outsider and the marginalized and the persecutors which is essential to the version of the queer threatened by equality and inclusio
