>> our thanks to andrew salomon who is on the scene. north and south korea have exchanged gunfire in that area in the past but the state department says there is no evidence that north korea is involved this time. the head of the marine corps does not want gay and straight marines sharing living quarters. in an interview on military.com, james conway said he wouldn't ask straight marines to live with gay ones if it can be avoided. conway says that means building barracks with single rooms. his interview comes on the heels of defense secretary robert gates' decision to ease enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. british airways cabin crew members are on strike. they started picketing the airline today over pay and working conditions there. it is the second strike in the last few weeks at the airline. but ba says it won't affect as many passengers this time around. the company predicts it will be able to fly more than 75% of its scheduled flights. that's because more workers are willing to cross picket lines. >> nba star gilbert arenas will not be going to jail.

maybe even some flash flooding in a few spots. and you can't rule out an isolated tornado or two. but for much of the eastern seaboard relatively dry conditions. very pleasant with high pressure out to the east. out to the west, basically the same situation for california, for much of oregon, and back into washington state. but of course, four corners, some areas you could see the snowfall in the highest elevations. memphis going up to 70 degrees. 64 in atlanta. 79 in tampa. 80 for miami. boston, new york, mainly in the 40s. 53 in chicago and d.c. 5 in minneapolis. back into las vegas, we go with 67 degrees. and 60s and 70s for much of the west coast. that's a look at the forecast. i'm reynolds wolf for hln. enjoy your weekend. usually you hear about adults disciplining kids for using bad words. but in this case, it is the other way around. >> why do you have to use this kind of language in front of his mother? well according to vice president biden he wouldn't have. so why in front of the american people? >> good point. that teenager is calling on vice president joe biden to clean up

dispatched. we've seen only one photograph that's been released of the incident and that shows, as you may have seen, a kind of upturned hull, part of the ship is still just about on the surface of the water. which indicates that there may be crew still alive inside the hull. >> our thanks to andrew salomon who is on the scene there. north and south korea have exchanged gunfire in that area in the past, but the state department says there is no evidence that north korea is involved this time. the head of the marine corps does not want gay and straight marines sharing living quarters. in an interview on military.com, where commandant general james conway said he wouldn't ask straight marines to live with gay ones if it can be avoided. conway says that means building barracks with single rooms. his interview comes on the heels of defense secretary robert gates' decision to ease enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. british airways cabin crew members are on strike. they started picketing the airline today over pay and working conditions there.

so how is your weekend shaping up weatherwise? we go to meteorologist reynolds wolf to find out. >> pretty interesting forecast for you because last weekend was the official beginning of spring. and yet, winter is still holding on to parts of the central rockies. you look at the map you're going to see a line of area shaded in green and back into parts of grand junction, colorado, even some red. those are your winter storm warnings and advisories that will be in effect. some places into the rockies could see up to a foot of snowfall today. and here's the reason why. you've got, of course, the scattered snow showers. this area of low pressure here is going to bring some moisture way back into the rockies where it's going to interact with a layer of very cold air. as it falls through the lower layer of the atmosphere they could see up to a foot of snow fall. other than that a chance of severe storms in parts of arkansas today, especially into the late afternoon hours. little rock even over to west memphis, you might have rough weather to deal with. maybe strong thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, maybe even flash flooding in a few spots and you can't rule out an isolated tornado or two. for much of the eastern seaboard relatively dry conditions. very pleasant with high pressure

out to the east. out to the west, basically the same situation for california, for much of oregon and back into washington state. but of course, four corners, some areas you could see the snowfall in the highest elevations. in terms of your high temperatures, memphis going up to 70 degrees. 64 degrees in atlanta, 79s in tampa, 80 degrees for miami. boston, new york, mainly in the 40s. 53 in chicago and d.c. 55 in minneapolis. back in to las vegas, we go, with 67 degrees and 70s and 70s much of the west coast. that is a look at your forecast. i'm reynolds wolf for hln. enjoy your weekend. usually you hear about adults disciplining kids for using bad words. but in this case, it is the other way around. >> would he have used this kind of language in front of his mother? well, according to vice president biden he wouldn't have. so why in front of the american people? >> good point. that teenager is calling on vice president joe biden to clean up his language.

a california high school student is taking vice president joe biden to task for using a bad word. he was caught whispering the word in president obama's ear this week. before the signing of the newly passed health care bill. here it is. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barack obama. this is a big [ bleep ] deal. >> thank you. thank you, everybody. >> you just heard it. 17-year-old mckay hatch wants the vice president to apologize for that remark. hatch is the founder of a no-cussing club which claims to have more than 35,000 members. >> i'm going to be actually sending vice president biden a cussing jar, a shirt, and -- and some wristbands to remind him to, you know, use good language.

>> it could help. hatch says he respects biden's right to free speech but also believes he needs to be a good role model to adults and kids. not every police chase involves cars. take a look. people in ft. collins, colorado, found that out yesterday when this guy, this bull escaped from his pen. while he was on the loose, children at nearby schools were kept inside as a precaution. >> we did have to notify four different schools in the area while this was going on. we're not sure how he got out if he broke a fence or what he did. >> he is okay, but it took four tranquilizer darts to bring the big fellow down. a business owner in alabama was almost run over when a car came crashing into her store. look at the destruction it left behind. that's the aftermath. it smashed through the front window, right where lynn silks usually sits. luckily, she was able to avoid the car as it flew 35 feet right inside that building. witnesses say the driver backed

into another car, shifted into drive and accidentally hit the gas. no one was hurt. this woman's car got swarmed with bees yesterday. look at the top of the roof there. the bees moved in while she was shopping and they just wouldn't leave. she called 911, but operators said there was nothing they could do about it. she finally got a hold of a beekeeper who removed them about three hours later. one bee expert says the bees swarmed because they were following the queen bee. one of the charms of the ncaa basketsball tournament is the underdog rising up to topple college basketball's elite. bob fischella, did it happen again last night? >> i knew you weren't watching, susan. >> no, i was not. >> last time we saw cinderella, northern iowa in action. the band of overachievers from cedar falls shocked top-ranked kansas. unfortunately last night the clock struck midnight for the panthers. midwest regional in st. louis, the glass slipper just didn't fit, as northern iowa was knocked out of the tournament by

michigan state 59-53. the panthers' rags to riches run is over. while tennessee can't be called the cinderella, clearly the underdog against ohio state. but the volunteers up for the challenge. pulling off a stunning three-point win. buckeyes leading scorer, evan turner had a last chance at the end. but check this out. amazing blocked shot right there. the vols reach the final eight for the first time in school history. take us to the nba for our play of the day. the denver nuggets trailed the toronto raptors by a point, final seconds, the ball works its way around into the hands of carmelo anthony and there's your game winner. looks so simple, makes it look so easy. just knocks it down and the denver nuggets get the victory. >> finally, if i were a college student at lsu, i'd love this. there's talk of the school opening a microbrewery on campus. however, here's the rub. fans are not going to have a sports bar to hang out after

after games. instead the brewery would be for food science majors, used as a work-study program. no fun there. and that's a check of sports. they caused quite a stir when they allegedly crashed the white house state dinner. but the salahis 15 minutes are not up quite yet. next up a stint on reality tv.
