that's chuck norris approved. >> the national unemployment rate is down but that doesn't mean the economy is coming along the rate unexpectedly dropped to 8.7 percent last month which is phil lowest in three years. but economists say that it's not close to what we need to heal. president obama obviously totes a positive report. today's news should give us some encouragement it shouldn't be an excuse for the other side to try to talk down the economy just to try to score a few political points. so in virginia romney said while the rate is falling he thinks it's because more people have stopped

looking for jobs. the truth is if the same share of people were participating in the workforce today our unemployment rate would be around 11%. jack welch doesn't believe the latest unemployment rate is of real and he thinks that the chicago way has something to do with that. he suggests that the numbers have been manipulated for political reasons he said unbelievable job numbers these chicago guys will do anything, cannot debate so change job numbers. mitch romney reverses himself on the 47% comments

initially sank his remarks were not elegantly stated but in an interview last night he said if the 4747 percent, up during the debate he would have said he was just completely wrong. we are live at the scene. good evening about three dozen or so bikers in france in a family of new towns and are actually here right now at the location where that tragic accident happened earlier today at the corner of ok and wells near the north side downtown and folks here basically said they are here to remember their friends and loved one and a life that was taken all too soon. those who know him say that nail townsend rode his bike to work almost year-round

and today was no exception just before 9:00 this morning chicago police say the 32 year-old attorney was traveling southbound on wells right in front of walter payton high school when a driver whose car was parked suddenly opened his door causing townsend to swerve into the path of a semi truck traveling next to him police say he got caught under the wheels of the tractor-trailer and he died on the scene, police say this was a tragic accident but the active transportation alliance says that crashes like this can often be prevented with a little caution. taking a couple of extra seconds to look over your shoulder before you open the door before you move from one lane to the other. whether you are biking or driving crashes between bicyclist and car doors happen more often than you may realize in 2010 the department of

transportation received 127 reports of doreeoring, as it's called thiessen spots says that it can be prevented if both cyclist and driver are mindful of each other. he need to think about each other as people and respect each other as people and obey the rules of the road that's what they're there for. so as you can see quite the turnout here at this candlelight vigil where folks are basically telling stories of nail and finding ways to remember him during this time of tragedy and they tell me that it's bringing them some sense of comfort as the come here together and they even see virtual strangers showing up just to show their support as well the main message that all of them want to get out

tonight is to remind bikers be mindful on the road and also if you are driving. 9:00 last night a driver 20 year-old hector martinez charged with felony and aggravated d y he is cited as not having a driver's license nor insurance. he hit a 10 year-old black labrador retriever and finally crashed into a store front. he is expected to recover. coming up one aspirin a day may help keep part attacks away no research suggests that it may also help prevent alzheimer's disease.

it will be cool and it's going to be frosty this will be the coldest night since april 12th we now think o'hare may get down to 31 tonight and it will be 17 70 degrees below normal. the temperatures are quite unseasonable. the freeze warnings come into the city under cross warnings look at the readings and how they did declined today. declined today. it is cool and the arctic spin is open and is pouring cool air on us. here you can see the temperature readings

in chicago tonight already going down with two points ian the 20's which often gives you an idea of a target of where your nighttime temperatures are going. they are already down in the '30's as you can see here as you get close to the city you can see the heat island affect quite a range across the metro area 46 @ joliet 46 at burr ridge and 41 in st. charles now with our beautiful skyline enshrouded by clouds today and some rain showers as well humidity is 24% and a high mold spore count today. these are high temperatures and you can see the way arctic air released early is taking over the scene but the warm air is running up

aboriginal taken movie get ready for one hour and a half of pretty much the same thrill ride liam neeson plays an ex cia agent whose daughter was kidnapped but taken back the first time. this time he is tracked by the grieving father of the man he killed in the first two weeks the father is out for revenge for his family when the bullets start flying into the car chases takeoff the cia agent kick sand as he outsmarts and out runs the bad guys on a nonstop mission impossible meets born identity roller-coaster ride. taken part 2 is more polished and completely follows the successful formula of the first film which is great because it's

fun to watch but there is really not much new here, it doesn't break any new cinematic ground but you definitely get your worth, it's an above average predictable dean's list b-. based on the 1984 half-hour film director tim burton has remade his macabre children's story in black and white and i think on necessary 3 date the story of a loner kid who's best friend's dogs barking is killed in a car accident great fun for the kids, the boy gets the idea of trying to bring his dead dog back to life all the kids in the neighborhood are reanimating their dead pets to ghoulish results mostly it's an ultra stylized free for cinema but does it translate to something you want to take your kids to go see? i think it's a marginal

above normal starting next weekend the reading. look at these wind chills by morning it will feel like the mid '20s here and it will feel like the mid '40's tomorrow afternoon and then we start the day in the 20s at least with wind chills so it's going to be chilly and going up to 50 in the afternoon and there is the sprawling canadian high pressure but watch as theit settles south. that sends a howling southwest wind in here sunday night and monday which is the basis for the warming that we expect by monday. look how the gusts pick up by monday columbus day so it's going to be windy but that's how you warm-up at this time of year and to no one year ago if we were to put together a string of five consecutive '80s from tomorrow's date forward it shows we could

still get one this time of year and i think we're going to prove that next weekend not this one so 49 tomorrow 50 on sunday and 70 briefly on tuesday before temperatures tank wednesday thursday and friday but saturday may start cool it looks like next sunday could get warmer and we could carry that at least until the middle of the following week. we have very nice weather still to go. another big saturday for college football on deck here from the top 10 fighting irish as they prepare for soldier field and the northwestern wildcats have also cracked the top 25 rich king new prilosec otc wildberry

the baseball playoffs are just as wacky as the nfl games a judgment call today. the baseball playoffs under way and make controversy. they cannot blame this one on the replacement umpires. this guy was the victim of a very bad call. it dropped in the

outfield bases loaded, the braves could not overcome that fall a and way lost that call the players are upset about it obviously. the braves protested the infield. from what i was into taking a glimpse of the replays i thought we had a legit seat. but it cost us one round possibly more? yes. but some not willing to sit here and say that the call was lost. the high school star is now on his list of colleges. depaul illinois the bears wrapped up practice for

was a bad call but there is. back in business, no more replacements. that's the news for this friday night we are happy you shared your time with us. i am out of here. thank you for watching everybody. e re y
