London taxi is steeped in history and myth.
the cap no longer has to have an extra high cealing, once upon a time needed for man's top hat.
but that still has benefits.
the height also gives us good wheelchair access
and obviously today, if you like that high hat is being replaced by the need to make it accessible for the disabled.
so, your wheelchair accessibility is one of our great strength.

LTI's Russell says, there are no plans to change the shape.
and by the way, a wide variety of colors are available.
the taxis come in twelve colors, but you wouldn't see many white ones in London.
In fact, these are for LTI's newest customer.
an order of 200 taxis for Bahrein.

the international market is now key for LTI's growth plan.
it also builds London Taxis in China.
just in time perhaps, as more Mercedes cabs can now be seen on the streets of London.

CNN Daily News  (2:13 - 4:13)

An exclusive address for the president elects.
while he waits for the current residence to move out of 600 pensilvenia avenue,
CNN Smith Hay has more.

He won the most exclusive address in the country.
but first, president elect, Barrack Obama will be staying across the street in a hotel that claims to be the most prestigious.
Hay Adam's motto is actually the only thing overlooked here is the White House.
And it's where other presidents have looked for top-notch accomoation.
President Bill Clinton stayed in Hay Adam's which also happen to be conveniently located near one of his favorite restaurant.
The hotel also has a storied past.

It was named for John Hay, the assistant of President Lincoln and later, secretary of state.
And Henry Adams, a claimed author and decendent of President John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
The hotel is thought to be haunted by Henry Adam's wife, Clover.

And it's said that Henry Adam's wife, Clover who committed suicide in 1885 still haunts the hotel grounds today.
specially and I don't know why this is in the month of December.

The Obahma's first choice was the official White House guest quarters, called the Blair house.
but President Bush says it is booked until the fifteenth.

There certainly was a lot of whispers when that came out that it was a little bit rude to tell that president elect that he couldn't move into Blair early.
But, on the other hand, there are legitimate needs for that space for outgoing ministration.
so, for now, the new president will enjoy the spectacular views of the White House from the Hay Adam's.
As he prepares to see things from a different angle, on the inside.

If the Obama stay in one of the sweets at the Hay Adams, the price could range from 2900 dollars to 5000 a night.
And who is staying at the Blair House?
No one is saying for sure, but the house is also booked for receptions and parties by outgoing administration officials and VIPs.
Semanta Hays CNN, Washington.

top-notch
If you describe someone or something as top-notch, you mean that they are of a very high standard or quality.

The pacific north west slam by one storm after another last month is getting hit again.
This one could dump as much as 18 inches of new snow in cascades.
Two main east-west mountain pathes in Washington are still close for fear of avalanches.
Provinces of Oregon are getting more of the rain and that is causing alot of flooding.
Portions of several state high ways have now been close and flood warnings are out.

Well, this one will give you goose bumps.
Jumping into lakes or oceans half naked in freezing temperature.
might not be everybody's idea bringing in the new year.
But this so called "Polar Plunges" have become traditions for many people across the counry .
cuz other just call him crazy.
but one jumper and a man says it makes him warm inside because his event raises money for charity and it is a way of giving back to the community.

and another icy adventure.
each year, a group of guys in Defiance Ohio go water skiing on the freezing Maumes River
yesterday the temperature twenty degrees
the water was so cold, the boat had to run through the water to break out the ice for the skiers.
after about ten minutes and two wipes, the skiers had enough.

From greenbay wisconsin, now
tale of ice fishing and ones that almost got away, eight people stranded on huge chunks of water that were cut lose by a passing barge.

do you feel a little silly now?
I will when I see myself on television.
this is probably the most complex, difficult ice rescues that we have performed in quite some time.
whenever you have multiple groups, spending miles of a shore line, that's when you need additional resources
the ice condition really deteriorated very quickly
well, not all the stranded people were fishing some of them were joy-riding on snow mobiles and others were simply out taking a wallk.
all said that  they were surprised to see that they were surrounded by open water.

- goose bumps
If you get goose bumps, the hairs on your skin stand up so that it is covered with tiny bumps. You get goose bumps when you are cold, frightened, or excited.
- plunge
If something or someone plunges in a particular direction, especially into water, they fall, rush, or throw themselves in that direction.
At least 50 people died when a bus plunged into a river
-strand
If you are stranded, you are prevented from leaving a place, for example because of bad weather.
The climbers had been stranded by a storm.
-haunted
A haunted building or other place is one where a ghost regularly appears.
Tracy said the cabin was haunted.

Shear tear at the ski resort at Canada
A support tower for a gondola system snapped in half, leaving more than fifty people trapped in cable cars dangling in mid-air.
Officials at the site says two of the gondola cars fell from a mid-low distance into a bus stop and house.
But fire fighters, manahatton rescue personnel had to use rope, lines and ladders to rescue other skiers trapped in below zero temperature.
The first thing we could think about was our children.
Everyone in the car was pretty composed.
The guys were really get with me.
I wasn't as so composed as the rest of them, but they worked really hard to call me down
We spent next few hours kind of try to stay calm.
For myself, I am done skiing for the week, I still had a few more days, but we are gonna go up and I don't think I am gonna go up again.
My husband and friends feel like they are gonna go, so they are ok with it, but I am done for now.
I'll actually stake a day off go back in two days.
Officials say no one was seriously injured and no word yet on the cause of the structural failure if you imagine a investigation is going on.

A cold icy mass for much of the nation and you know, it's not even winter yet.
The national weather service issued winter weather advisories for all but eleven states yesterday.
In Newhampshire, crews are still out, working to restore power for more than 1000 homes and businesses.
The last wind storm in New England left hundreds of thousands people in the dark.
And in Kenzas snow road triggered a mass of traffic pile up.
Near Lowrence lots of damaged vehicles but again thankfully no serious damage was reported there.
In Flagsstaff, Arizona, motors are struggled to get around in a foot of snow.
Snow clouds are out, but national weather service says more snow is on the way.
and with all the snow and ice, snow ploud drivers will spread almost anything to give drivers a good grip, but garlic salt?
In Ankeny Iowa, a spice company donated nine tons of the seasoning to help with the city's salt shortage.
and yes, the street is probably more aromatic than usual

a new state budget proposal in NY is a wake up call for everyone in the city that never sleeps
governor David Patterson's new budget aims to increase spending by 1.3 billion dollars
much of the gross comes from new fees targeting everything from downloading music to shipping sodas
The new ipod tax targets the sale of downloading music and a new 18% on soda and sugary drinks tries to discourage people from drinking those high calorie things
there are also new taxes on a satelite tvs. spas, movies and sports tickets

They are called a ultimate cases.
Crimes that are decades old and investigators typically working without modern luxuries like DNA that we hear so much about
the reason these crimes are actually tied to Nazi atrocities and federal investigators
Thou they never must be forgotten more now from CNN's Brian Tod.
