and only a few people really have the answer to, but after alex rodriguez finished his game here in trenton, new jersey, behind me last night he addressed the media for ten minutes and did it very candidly. he said he's 100%, he feels more ready to play baseball than he ever has in the last few months, and while he says he's ready to get back with the yankees, major league baseball is about to deliver its so-called suspension announcement. we're expecting that on monday. yesterday after the game he addressed the number of topics. he talked about his legacy, about performance enhancing drugs and he took a shot at those trying to keep him from the ball field. >> you believe you will be with the yankees come monday. >> absolutely. >> do you believe the team faels the same way. >> who is the team? >> your team, the yankees. >> i hope so. i love being a yankee. i love my teammates. i have a lot of brothers in that clubhouse. we won a world championship. the plan is to win another one. i'm excited to get back there and compete and keep fighting. i had a great time tonight playing. i felt good. i

involved with the owner, rodriguez denying the allegations, in terms of the double-a play with the trenton thunder, he's been playing well. last night he hit a home run. he was basically well received, anna, by fans who were here. when last night's game was over, he actually spoke to the mid area, talked about how he was feeling about his whole contentious relationship he has with major league baseball. anna, he says he's being targeted because he's a high-profile player, a lucrative player that makes millions. >> there's more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field, and that's not my teammates and it's not the yankee fans. >> who is it? >> who benefits? >> i can't tell you that right now, and i hope i never have to andrew? >> why would you be singled out? >> i asked that and he didn't answer that so he was under the mike. i'm not sure. i mean, i think it's pretty self-explanatory. i think that's the pink elephant in the room. i think we all agree that they want to get rid of p.e.d.s. that's a must, i think all the players feel that way. but when all this s

ron mott is in trenton, new jersey. that's where he's expected to play in a minor league game while he's under rehab. how are things looking? >> he's due back here on the field when the trenton thunder take the field. last night he was all smiles. he hit a rocket for a home run but in matter of days or even a matter of a few hours he could lose everything. a familiar night nor alex rodriguez. autographs, warm ups, another mammoth home run. this one for the trenton thunder. >> it's up and gone. >> it was also a night telling of a-rod's telling troubles. major league baseball commissioner is swinging hard to get him off the field with a lengthy suspension or a lifetime ban. he took shots at his critics, likely the yankees who are unhappy they're paying him big bucks. >> there's one party that benefits from me not stepping back on the field. >> he's earned more than $350 million in 19 seasons in the big leases. 2007 he signed a record ten-year, $275 million and is still owed $100 million. how much of that money he'll keep

. >>> in the small town of trenton, tennessee, there it is, speed limit sign reads 31 miles per hour. strange? yeah. a little bit but it's not a mistake. back in the '60s apparently city council members couldn't decide whether the speed limit should be 30 or 35 so they compromised with 31. people are so intrigued by it the mayor says it put trenton on the map and i guess people are slowing down, too. >> if it were 30 you were probably going 31 anyway, right? >> probably. >> or 35. >>> a diver in tennessee is more than halfway to his goal of setting a new worl record living under water since saturday. jerri hall is comfortable in the lake. he has been eating small bites of food. >> cut up in small box in a plastic baggy. he takes a breath, pulls a bite out, pushes it through his lips. any lake water that gets in, he spits it out, choose it up. >> he is under water working to break a world record. >> the team of at least 20 volunteer divers is also working to make sure hall as a steady supply of water and gatorade. he hopes to stay in the water until friday at noon. >>> coming up at kpi

you can't do it by fiat from trenton or washington. if there is not respect, though, if there's not the dedication and the commitment, it's not going to happen. i certainly don't want to say you can leave any school district on its own and life is great. were it otherwise, camden would not be in the fix it's in today, but i do think my experience is that if you place trust and confidence in people, and you're willing to help them that they are more likely not to rise to the occasion. we don't have a choice. there's -- people talk about charter schools like the magic bullet. there are great charter schools. the kip schools do a great job of educating kids, but they educate a fraction of a fraction of 1% of the kids in the country. charter schools don't do better or worse than public schools overall, but the more important point is that they don't have the bandwidth. you can't build -- you can't educate 60 million kids, 60 million kids and consider it a charter school. we don't have any choice. we have to rely on public schools. one of t
