well, good morning just getting ready for this hour of the news. you're a multi-tasker too. you're probably guilty of the same thing. i think i see you watching your computer and the tv at the same time. morning, sunshine. i'm robin meade. here's what's going on today. for the first time in a year, the dow hit 10,000. whoo! but investors are saying don't get too excited about it. the st. louis rams says they're moving on along without rush limbaugh. the american dad arrested in japan for trying to take his kids back from his ex-wife has been released from jail there.

japanese police say all charges against christopher seboy have been dropped. we have no idea what will happen with his kids. his wife violated a u.s. custody agreement by taking them to japan. you might call the dow industrial average the comeback kid, right? the dow hit a huge psychological milestone yesterday, crossing that 10000 mark. do you know we haven't seen it that high in over a year? some people take it as a sign the economy is recovering but people who watch the markets say you shouldn't reedad too much into it right now. >> we want to break above this 10,000 level, we want to sustain it. there is still a major problem with the job market. everyone is expecting unemployment to hit 10 to 13% in the coming year so a dow is a six-month indicator of where things are going to be six months from now. we're still rebuilding, we still

have a long ways to go. >> this is what it means for you and good news in a bad economy. inflation is practically non-existent non-existent, so you're working with tighter budgets and watching what you're buying. that makes it harder for stores to raise their prices. today we're going to look at the consumer index. that will tell us how much prices wentd up last month. a suspect in a vicious attack on a little girl 19 years ago is in texas now to face charges. dennis bradford arrived from arkansas last night. he's accused of raping and kidnapping and slitting jennifer schuett's throat. dna testing led to the arrest. it appears rush limbaugh is being rushed out the door trying to buy the rams. this is a big change. >> it is a big change, robin, and it's shock tging it came from

rush's group. chagets dropped rush from the group, releasing a statement saying, it has become clear that rush's involvement in the group has become a distraction and endangering our bid. as such, we have agreed to move on without them. they were told they had zero chance of being approved, rush took it out of his playbook, trying to blame it on his conservecon conserve tichl. you can e-mail us at cnn.com/robin or go to facebook. >> people have a lot of things to say about that one. kids under age ten may need two shots for the h1n1 to be

fully protected. what you're seeing in the video are kids getting the nasal spray version. they tested the vaccine on 500 children and said adults only need one shot. we expect to find out this morning that you won't get a cost of living increase next year, but president obama is stepping in. yesterday he asked congress to okay a $250 payment in 2010 for seniors, veterans, retired railroad workers and the disabled. they also got one this year as part of the stimulus plan. four minutes after the hour. who has bad weather today? >> it's texarkana. it's really -- a developing low

pressure region over dallas, getting ahead of explosions right now. even a tornado warning earlier this morning iltst's expired but we did catch a couple sightings in oklahoma moving on down. right now it's a thurlt warning in texarkana, winds up to about 60 miles per hour. look at this solid sheet of rain in the midwest into the ohio valley penn state as well. the back side of that, the air is cold. you can see about one to two inches of snow north of minneapolis, and look at the light showers already developing ahead of that wave and it's right out of west virginia, northern west virginia maryland, new jersey and part of new york state. it's light right now, picks up in intensity this afternoon, and once that happens it's going to draw in some cold air. winter storm warnings in the northern part of pennsylvania.

six to twelve inches of rain in the higher elevations. it's going to start this afternoon and end up on saturday as it bovmmbs the jersey coast. wind today starting later this afternoon and tonight, gusting 60 miles per hour on the jersey shore and into jersey and maryland. it's moving away by the weekend but tough going for you today through saturday morning. more on that in just about half an hour robin. chew on this. gold teeth appear to be a hot item with thieves. police in seattle say burglars have raided more than 30 medical and dental offices since last month. they've taken drugs, too. at one office, $10,000 worth of gold disappeared. high gold prices might be one reason. >> they just kind of went through and ripped open -- they were looking for things. i think it's the economy. i think maybe people are getting a little more desperate.

it doesn't make it right but i think they're probably looking for ways to make money. >> the local media report says police are questioning two people on unrelated charges. there are signs of economy improvement, but it's still the worst of times for so. families. we're going to take a look at how many homes have been foreclosed on in the last month.

i'm richard lui. a man was executed for setting a fire that killed his three kids. now a controversy is raised over his conviction. they are slamming any suggestions here that tom willingham may have been innocent. >> willingham was a monster. this is a guy who murdered his three children who tried to beat his wife into an abortion so he wouldn't have those kids.

>> this is a fairly complicated case. let's get into the nuts and bolts. willingham was executed in 2004 for murdering his three daughters, but now forensic scientists say the fire may not have been arson. that would undercut the whole case certainly, but perthey say it's propaganda. here they are talking to the media. >> he was a loving father. he and his wife had a stormy relationship but he didn't try to beat her during an abortion. >> did he physically abuse his wife? >> yes, he d. butid. but she physically abused him. >> willingham consistently said he was innocent. the new york times said he was an unemployed auto mechanic with a history of doing time.

so they say he put flammable liquid near his kids' beds killing all three of his young daughters. willingham said he tried to save him but police doubted his story because his bare feet were not burned. his wife said he beat her several times while she was pregnant. over to bob van dillen now with your travel. hi, bob. >> already have a delay in atlanta because of the low clouds. it's only about 37 minutes but could grow more this morning. you also have rain and snow so that can't help you out. rain comes in over ohio stretches across philly new york and d.c. if you're traveling out to lax, things are looking a lot better today. you can see some fog, otherwise, the rainstorms are gone.

inflation is practically nonexistent so you are working with tighter budgets and you're being so careful about what you buy. that makes it hard for stores to raise the prices on you. new this morning, the american dad arrested in japan for trying to take back his kids from his ex-wife has been released from jail there. japanese police say that the indictment against christopher savoy has been put on hold. we have no word yet on what's going to happen with the kids. he says that his wife violated a u.s. custody arrangement by taking them to japan. his current wife spoke on our sister network cnn just moments ago. >> well i think the focus for us will be you know -- we'll basically become spokespersons i suppose for so many of these families and what this is allowed to happen is that many families have contacted us and we've kind of provided a voice for their suffering and have received so many phone calls.

someone from britain who's lost his child in japan someone from canada, other people in the u.s., and we've heard so many heartbreaking stories and it lands me back to the middle of where we were in august where i said i don't know how a father or mother can find any closure in these types of situations. >> and we still don't have information on what this means for the kids. but the man has been released from jail in japan. new this morning, more attacks in pakistan. at least 17 people are dead and an unknown number are held hostage. gunmen in suicide bombers targeted three law enforcement sites. now, this has been a horrific week there. nearly 70 people have been killed in attacks across the country with many more wounded. pakistan says that the attacks won't stop it from pursuing militants. it appears that rush limbaugh has been rushed out the door by the group trying to buy the st. louis rams. what's going on? here's rafer. good morning. >> robin, limbaugh was to be a

limited partner in a bid led by david check its. check its dropped rush from the group saying "it has become clear that rush's involvement in our group has become a distraction to our intentions endangering our bid. as such we have decided to move forward without him." now, league sources told us that limbaugh candidacy had "zero chance" of being approved. limbaugh took a page out of his playbook and blamed the left trying to destroy conservatism. bottom line, politics and the nfl do not mix. that is my take. what's your take? we want your thought bz it. what do you think about limbaugh being denied ownership of an nfl team in text your thoughts to 45688, e-mail us at cnn.com/robin or post a comment on our pace book page. >> we welcome comments no matter what it is you're thinking here. we've had comments from both sides, right?

not burned. now, at a trial, willingham's wife denied he ever hurt her, but acquaintances say she told them he beat her several times, robin, even when she was pregnant. >> certainly sounded like a stormy relationship from what others are saying. richard, thank you. i think this is a story we'll hear more and more about. thanks. >> sure. more than 930,000 homeowners got foreclosure letters in the past three months. that number makes it the worst the quarter of all time. that's according to realty track. they're up 20% from the same quarter last year, also a record quarter for repossessions. the problem could actually be worse, though. government and lender actions have been delayed in many of the filings. they've delayed many of those. is there anything that your iphone cannot do? how about an app that will lock and unlock your car and start the ignition for you? it's called the vipr smart

well, now a controversy is raging about his conviction. texas governor rick perry is slamming any suggestions that cameron todd willingham may have been innocent. correspondent richard l ui why are some people criticizing the governor? >> well, robin because of this. recently perry replaced four members of a state commission just before they were to review a report critical of the arson investigation used to convict willingham. perry denies it was a political move. he says it was just process. he is currently running for reelection, by the way. perry denied a last-minute stay of execution for willingham back in 2004 and his office confirms to cnn the office received a five-page fax 88 minutes before willingham's execution and in it it had an arson expert's findings that the fire was not deliberately set robin. >> execution went forward. >> that's right. >> richard back to this commission to hear a report slamming the evidence used to convict him. let's hear more about them.

>> digging into that, robin the dallas morning news saying the commission was to hear from a nationally recognized fire expert hired to review the willingham case. in his report released in august, it called the willingham fire investigation slip shod saying it was based on wives' tales about how fire behaves and possible arson evidence. the governor says it's propaganda from the death penalty opponents. listen to this. >> just as a lot of advances in technology have resulted in exonerations related to dna evidence new advances in arson science could result many the same thing. we could see some arson cases being overturned because we know more about fires, more about arson arson. so what experts thought theo be true in the past doesn't necessarily hold up. >> reporter: willingham's convictions were upheld several times before his death. up to the time of his death, robin, he consistently said he was innocent. >> so it's a story we will

>> well it's extremely important because they've been in a situation, jay see and her daughters, where they were out of control. they need to be in control now. i think back to her mother, clearly jaycee the fact she's doing as well as she's doing now is a testament to how she was raised from birth to 11 with a strong family. as she said, unconditional love. >> you can get the latest on any developments on that story with "prime news" and mike galanos starting at 5:00 p.m. eastern right here on hln. california's first lady, is apologizing for breaking the law that her husband signed. she was photographed talking on a cell phone while driving. her husband, governor arnold schwarzenegger says there will be swift action. didn't say what that was. shriver says she's sorry for breaking the rules and says she'll donate her old cell phone to charity. that's her version of swift action i guess. what most people are talking
