-
The five presidential candidates, they are competing in five northeastern states.
-
We expect Donald Trump to win all five. The question is, how big are those victories?
-
CNN projects Donald Trump will win the presidential Republican presidential primary.
-
Donald Trump is the winner in Maryland.
-
Another win for Donald Trump in Connecticut. All five contests, Donald Trump wins.
-
At some point, if you're going to beat Donald Trump, you have to beat him on the battlefield.
-
This is a battlefield state by state, and that frankly is rout.
-
They got destroyed. Donald Trump, all five states called relatively early in the night.
-
CNN projects Hillary Clinton is the winner in Maryland. In Delaware,
-
CNN is projected Hillary Clinton is the winner.
-
Hillary Clinton is the winner in the Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primary.
-
I have a great night. I want to thank the 42nd president of the United States, my husband.
-
CNN projects Bernie Sanders is the winner of the Rhode Island Democratic presidential primary.
-
You know, the best way to beat the system is have evenings like this,
-
where you get record-setting votes, where you get record-setting delegates.
-
Big nights, very big nights for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
-
Well, that's it in a nutshell. Another big night for the U.S. presidential frontrunners.
-
Our latest estimates for the delegates they've earned for Democrats,
-
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton now has 1,666 pledged delegates and 502 super delegates.
-
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has 1,359 pledged delegates and 42 super delegates.
-
A Democrat needs 2,383 total to clinch the party nomination. For Republicans,
-
businessman Donald Trump now has 991 pledged delegates.
-
Texas Senator Ted Cruz has 567 pledged delegates and one unpledged delegate.
-
Ohio Governor John Kasich has 154 pledged delegates.
-
A Republican needs 1,237 delegates to clinch the party nomination.
-
Also, Senator Cruz announced yesterday, that if he wins the Republican nomination,
-
he'd choose former business executive and former presidential candidate,
-
Carly Fiorina, as his vice presidential running mate.
-
Fiorina suspended her campaign on February 10th and endorsed Cruz a month later.
-
It's unusually early for a candidate to announce a running mate.
-
That traditionally happens at the party's nominating conventions over the summer.
-
Next up, the millennial generation. It is now the largest generation in America.
-
That's according to the U.S. Census.
-
Millennials are usually defined as people born between 1981 and 1997.
-
They've just surpassed the baby boomer generation.
-
That's name for folks born during the baby boom after World War II, between 1946 and 1964.
-
There are just under 75 million baby boomers, but partly because some of them are passing away,
-
and partly because many of the immigrants to the U.S. are from the millennial generation,
-
the sheer number of millennials now exceeds that of boomers and it's probably not going to slow down.
-
Millennial numbers aren't expected to peak until the year 2036, when they exceed 80 million people.
-
So, how many are there now and what could this mean for the U.S. economically speaking?
-
Seventy-five-point- four million, millennials achieved a milestone.
-
There are 75.4 million Americans age 18 to 34 years old in the U.S. Pew Research
-
finds millennials have now overtaken baby boomers as the largest living population.
-
Baby boomers, that cohort that defined our relationship with money today,
-
how we earn it, and how we spend it, how we make it and how we borrow it.
-
Now, those boomers are retiring. They're spending less. They're dipping into retirement.
-
And millennials pick up the mantle. But the picture is mixed at best.
-
Bankrate finds the best cities for millennials to launch their career, big cities like New York, L.A.,
-
San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and San Jose. Those are also the places eating up their incomes.
-
In New York City, millennials today take home 20 percent less than generation X
-
and they've got lots more debt. It's a generation that's earning less than their parents,
-
putting off marriage, putting off buying a home.
-
Those are defining economic drivers of generations before them.
-
So, will the selfie generation redefine our relationship with money for the next 50 years?
-
The mumps virus is spreading so fast at Harvard University
-
that officials are saying it could affect the school's commencement ceremony on May 26th.
-
At least 40 people there have come down with mumps over the past two months.
-
The local health department says all of the students who've gotten it had been vaccinated against it.
-
So, officials want students to take it more seriously to try to prevent its spread.
-
It's not usually very dangerous and patients have been isolated.
-
But because it spread like a cold, most of the recent outbreaks in the U.S.
-
have been high schools and colleges where people share desks, classrooms and study spaces.
-
Mumps is an infection that's caused by the mumps virus, even if somebody is not sick at all.
-
About a third of people who get the mumps infection won't have any symptoms,
-
but they're still carrying the virus and they can still potential spread it to other people.
-
When they get mumps, a lot of times, it's going to feel like just about any other viral infection.
-
But the real characteristic about this particular infection distinguishes just about anything else,
-
doctors know this -- the moment someone walks in, it's right here.
-
It's these parotid glands. It's what makes you look like a chipmunk.
-
Most of us just get two shots to protect us against mumps in our lifetime.
-
One when we're about a year old and another one when we're between four and six year old.
-
But if you're a healthcare worker, if you're someone who may be in close contact to people with mumps,
-
or if you go travelling to an area where mumps is more endemic, you might consider getting another booster shot.
-
With mumps, like a lot of other viral infection, the treatment is what we call symptomatic.
-
They're basically trying to let the body get through this period of illness. But for most people,
-
it's a lot of sleep, it's a lot of rest overall, staying hydrated and letting your body overcome this infection.
-
In East Africa, not from Tanzania's border with Kenya is the city of Arusha,
-
and it's from there that we heard from St. Constantine's International School.
-
Great to have you on our "Roll Call" for the first time.
-
Smyrna Middle School also hasn't been on before. It's in Smyrna, Tennessee, the home of the Panthers.
-
And from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, first time we've been there as well,
-
please welcome the Seahawks for First Flight Middle School. Earlier this month,
-
the group of about 15 people reportedly got stuck in an elevator in Chicago's Willis Tower.
-
In a separate incident,
-
some USC football players who exceeded in elevator's weight limit got stuck in California.
-
What the two groups had in common besides the elevators
-
are the safety measures that helped them all get out OK.
-
They can thank a man named Otis.
-
Drop a working stiff from the 19th century and modern day New York,
-
what's the first thing he might notice? Height. In the last century,
-
cities across the world have gotten taller, much, much taller.
-
At the start of the 20th century, you'd be hard-pressed to find a building that was more than six stories high.
-
Who wants to hop up a flight of stairs longer than that?
-
But then, the modern elevator arrived. And builders raced towards the heavens,
-
constructing massive office skyscrapers containing millions of square feet.
-
Sure, the basic idea was nothing new. Primitive elevators have been around since 236 B.C.,
-
but they relied on manpower, lots of it.
-
By the mid-19th century, elevators were deriving their power from water and steam.
-
But the ropes that they relied on weren't so reliable. And that's where Otis comes in.
-
He developed a safety break that kept the elevator from freefalling if the rope broke.
-
It was an innovation that transformed business.
-
Not only could people be shuttled up and down, but so could heavy freight.
-
Now, companies could consolidate all of their operations and office furniture in a single building,
-
and that improve accountability, communication and efficiency.
-
Employees could shuttle from one department to another with a push of a button and a short vertical ride.
-
Industries likewise didn't have to compete for geographically important locations.
-
In the 1860s, New York City's financial district was so overcrowded,
-
they considered moving it uptown.
-
But then the elevator came along and allowed Wall Street o grow up.
-
Today, there are an estimated 900,000 elevators in America alone,
-
making 18 billion trips a year, and occasionally giving me vertigo.
-
There are hundreds of tricks the skateboarders have come up with in the decades
-
that the sport has been around. Here's one that's less expected -- no board.
-
Christopher Chann says this is what he does when it rains and he can't skate,
-
applying the same principles of balance, physics and some pretty slick shoes,
-
he and his friends just skid and slide down the hill. At one point, he even tries to ollie,
-
or more accurately jump a rough spot. He doesn't quite land it.
-
But he might have landed himself a whole new sport. After all, if the shoe fits
-
and slides and slips and side slips, and slide slips on slick slides,
-
slide on up with your slickest sliding kicks for one slick ride down the six skids slip and slide.
