appears to be a vcr. >> that's weird. that seemed like somebody would have noticed. >> that was jimmy kimmel poking fun at andre agassi about his stunning admission that he used crystal meth during his pro tennis career. now, it might not seem like a laughing matter, but that did not stop kimmel at all there. >> that's also why he lost his hair, from that meth use. >> really? >> no! trying to provide the other side. just so you know, kids. >> i'm so gullible. hello. >> good morning. we were talking about andre agassi's admission of drug use. kimmel making the joke thereautobiography. he also had other stunning admissions. there's fallout from that. the world anti-doping agencies want authorities to look into how he was suspended after testing positive for meth. sports illustrated got an advanced dpi of the book. he wrote about his hatred of his

father, a violent man who once pulled a gun on the motorist. the nfl was on the defensive on capitol hill, lawmakers concerned over head injuries, asking if players are encouraged to play hurt. listen to what former tampa bay bucks president had to say about that. >> this is a business. it's a blanking cut-throat business. the bottom line is making money. and if their player ain't playing, and the team's losing, that's the bottom line. >> in other news, a philadelphia woman accused of trying to trade sex for world series tickets, remember we told you about this, she got her tickets. the easy way, my fox philly reports a local radio station gave her tickets for her and her husband. police charged her with misdemeanor prostitution after a posting on craigslist asking for tickets. her lawyer says it was a misnrsing and she is not guilty. we'll have an update on the

world series later. ia jury awarded a family of almost $1 million after their kid was hit by a ball hit by one of their bats. the family broke down. they argued the company didn't adequately warn of the bat's dangers since balls hit by them travel at higher speeds. a spokesman for the bat maker said the company did nothing wrong and the verdict appears to be an indictment of the entire sport. greg wrote on the facebook page everyone knows no matter the bat, the bat still moves fast. the ball did the damage. why not go after the ball maker too? the parents that buy these bats know the dangers but if they fall to pressure from the kids because they want their kids -- fall to pressure because they want their kids to excel. agree or disagree? go to cnn.com/robin, click on the facebook link. leave a comment we'll try to read it on the air. >> rafer thank you so much. have you lost some of your

most treasured possessions while trying to sell your home? hln money expert clark howard tells you how to protect yourself from open house robberies. >> okay what's old is new again, and this is one that was an oldie but baddie. "the washington post" is reporting thats as people are putting their homes for sale, many times without an agent now trying commission, when they hold open houses, they're getting robbed blind. there are criminal rings that come in and while one person is distracting you or your real estate agent asking about features of the home, the other person is rummaging through your drawers, looking for jewelry. this is an old rule that you may not have heard. if you are selling your home, get all your valuables out of the house prior to you putting your home up for sale. the easiest thing to do is go rent a safety deposit box at a bank or credit union and store

your jewelry and other valuables there. or if you have a relative you really trust store those things with them, until you've sold your house. i'm clark howard, for more ways to protect yourself, go to cnn.com/hln. >> clark will teach you how to save more spend less and avoid getting ripped off. catch him at noon saturday and sunday here on hln. here are the stories we're watching today. accused killer drew peterson is scheduled to be in court today. he's charged with the death of his third wife kathleen savio. his current wife stacey, has been missing since 2007. and tonight in massachusetts, joint chiefs of staff chairman mike mullens will be honored for helping end veteran homelessness. and the first of two rock and roll hall of fame concerts at madison sqaure garden, tonight's bill includes bruce springsteen and stevie wonder. what a lineup. million of people are

drivers, don't hold it against them. some doctors blame it on genetics. this just in -- a good sign that the recession may be ending. a new government report shows that the economy grew in the most recent quarter, even more than expected. jennifer westhoven is joining us. jen, does this mean that the recession is over? >> technically, that's what this is pointing to. the gross domestic product rose 3.5% on an annual basis over the summer. think it's hard for a lot of us to swallow, when you look around and see what you're seeing. but look, it's the first time we've seen a plus sign that the economy grew in a year. and the real question is is it real growth? because we all know, right uncle sam pumping billions of dollars into the economy. a lot of growth cash for clunkers, the first-time housing credit. how much of it has staying power. but we do seem to be slowly coming out of the worst recession in 70 years.

and the big question you're probably asking is -- great you see it on a piece of paper. when am i going to see it in the jobs market? we're watching. natasha? >> jen thanks for the update. well the bodies of at least 18 americans killed in afghanistan are back in the u.s. and president obama was there to see their flag-draped coffins arrive home this morning. the deaths came in the deadliest month for u.s. forces since 2001. and a time when the president is trying to decide whether or not to send more u.s. forces into harm's way. the 15 soldiers and three dea agents who arrived home this morning were killed monday and tuesday in afghanistan and killed in a helicopter crash and roadside bombings. five people have been arrested in the gang rape of a 15-year-old california girl. three are juveniles and police say they're looking for as many as five more suspects. and ten or more people who watched the rape did nothing. one of the teachers said the blame is shared across the entire community.

>> something horrible and atrocious happened on our campus. and yes blame lies with the school officials with the teachers. with the district. with the police. with the students who were afraid to speak up and walked by. but it's important to realize that our community recognizes this is a problem. and we are taking active steps to fix it. >> the victim is a sophomore who was found semi conscious and in critical condition. she was released from the hospital yesterday after four days there. police say all the suspects will be charged as adults and could face life in prison if convicted. after months of debate house democrats are rolling out a new health care reform plan and they're expected to do it in about an hour. the plan will include a government-run insurance plan the so-called public option. but doctors would be able to

negotiate reimbursement rates with the government. democrats say it would create competition and choice and hopefully appeal to moderates. the house is expected to begin debate on the bill next week. the company that makes louisville slugger baseball bats was found liable for the death of a young man killed by a baseball. rafer wiegel has more. we're getting more responses on the story, you can understand why. it was a very emotional day for the family of this young man, brandonen patch killed by a line drive in 2003. a montana jury awarded patch's family $850,000, from the company who makes louisville slugger bats, for not adequately warning about those bat's dangers. they say because balls hit by aluminium, brandon didn't have time to react. and it appears to be an indictment of the entire sport of baseball. brandon patch's mom had this to

say. >> we came into this not knowing, you know, we were just hoping to prevail is all. for brandon. this is for brandon. and for the other kids on the field. >> so here's the deal -- there's no doubt that a baseball hit by an awlum until bat travels faster. the question is, is the company or should the company be liable for that? that's what we're asking you. did the family deserve to be compensated like this? or should baseball be played at your own risk? go to cnn.com/robin. click on the facebook link to leave a response. hundreds of schools are closed due to swine flu as a school officials in kentucky say the schools may be an incubator for the virus. the education department reports at least 350 schools were closed last week. affecting 126,000 students in 19 states. many school officials say they are afraid that the h1n1 flu virus could spread even faster

if their schools stayed open. we've got some wild weather we're dealing with today. some of you dealing with snow others rain. bob, what's in store? >>le with be more snow for the rockies and more heavy rain through the lower part of the mississippi salley stretching through the great lakes overnight tonight. look at the spans of the storm system. one low is the surface low there responsible for the heavy rain now central kansas through oklahoma, down to texas too. but here's your upper-level support. i put it right around southern parts of colorado and northern new mexico as that slides over towards the east you're going to see the energy continue to move through and the back side of that of course is all snow now from denver in towards wyoming and now stretching in towards nebraska and south dakota. how about the heaviest rain falling near kansas city stretching down through oklahoma city. one severe thunderstorm watch. and that's the area shaded in yellow. it includes areas to the east of oklahoma city now. as you zoom in towards the radar, the biggest squall line is to the east.

one warning is for bristow winds to about 60 miles per hour in the thunderstorm complex. and out ahead of it that's why there's a warned area. fort worth is dry notice the showers are moving through and it will slow you at airport. already an hour delay now. snow up the slopes of the rockies. let's show you video from denver just yesterday. already they've seen about ten inches or more around the airport. grand total, clous close to 40 in some sections of colorado. cheyenne and a closure of i-80 between there and laramie. >> bob how are your driving skills? >> so far, so good. the bad drivers you see on the road? they may not be able to help it. it could be in their genes. a researcher finds that people with a certain gene variant performed worse on a driving test than people without it. he said about 30% of americans have that variant. so that's a lot of bad drivers we're talking about.

authorities are asking for help finding the killer of 7-year-old somer thompson. a schaeffer describes potential clues that people should be looking out for. plus the new york jets rookie quarterback got a lot of flack for eating a hot dog during the game. now he's turning an embarrassing moment into a good cause.
