saver trackers to the scene. all we know at this point, that it is a child, that it has gone missing and that they're going to try to use this project life saver tracking equipment to try to find this child. at this point, they don't know about any potential injuries or anything such as that. very, very early on. and we continue to gather details throughout the evening, we'll keep you updated. vic, back to you. >> okay. thank you very much, captain mike perry. new tonight at 6:00. charges have been filed for 53 horses in west virginia and brought here to maryland. the horses were in such wad -- bad shape. many are being slowly nursed back to health now. the west virginia facility has been charged with more than 50 counts of animal cruelty. and additional charges are pending. water has been restored to 75 homes tonight, following a water main break in northeast baltimore. but the problems will continue for drivers in the area. crews are still trying to

with that in mind, ravens and broncos will be in town, of course. ravens defending their 3-1 record. you can see all of the action. temperature right around 70 degrees. it appears everyone is in that fighting spirit. you can hear the marching band from the loyola sports facility. over the hill. they're in full swing. all of the bands and the drums. we'll have your complete updated forecast coming up. all right, tim. thank you. well, a worse-than-expected jobs report confirms that the economic recovery is moving very slowly. the economy lost 95,000 jobs in september. the overall jobless rate has now topped 9.5% for 14 straight months. that's the longest stretch since the 1930s. competition for jobs is tougher than ever with 15 million americans out of work. despite the weak report on the economy, the dow jones reached a milestone for the first time since early may, the dow closed above the 11,000 mark.

political reporter pat warren has the latest in this debate. >> another volley in the battle of the slots in arundel mills. taking developer david cordish to task. >> arundel mills mall is a family-friendly environment. and a slots parlor just doesn't belong there. >> we stand by our commercial 110%. >> as if to say that what we run is a casino in the mall. that's not true. >> they know no such thing. >> to claim this is just bogus. >> the truth is, the arundel mills gaming facility will be in a separate building, completely separate from the mall. >> the casino is 30 feet across a ring road, from the mall itself. it runs the length of the mall from the models to the burlington coat factory. >> reporter: and lines are also

drawn to where laurel race track figures into this. >> laurel isn't even in the running. >> reporter: the suggestion that slots go to laurel is also misleading. because one of the track holders, penn national, already has a license for perryville. and there's only one per customer. >> it kind of blows your mind to hear these things. >> reporter: while they argue about the placements, pros and cons, they are looking for answers from voters. >> this is citizens mounting an effort through legal channels to petition their government for change. >> pat warren, wjz eyewitness news. >> and maryland's first casino opened in perryville, cecil county last month. >> i bet they're busy tonight. >> they could be. still to come. hit-and-run. a maryland woman killed in a busy washington, d.c. neighborhood. what police say about the driver. i'm mike schuh, wjz eyewitness news. changing the law to replace dangerous grates like this one.

mike schuh spoke with the mayor about what is being done. in august, this owings mills cyclist was killed. in may, this biker gets sent to shock trauma. today, such accidents are on the minds of greg, who rides to work every day. >> at least once a day, on my mile and a half ride to work, i come about this close to death. >> launching riders into traffic. they are of particular concern. >> we, in baltimore, are becoming a bike-friendly area. >> reporter: so they sponsored two bike bills. but the approval was needed to make the bill into laws. to make city streets safer for cyclists. >> first, we're going to find some bike-friendly legislation. >> reporter: she signed them both. >> it's estimated that there are 33,000 of these old-style grates, scattered around the city. they're not going to be replaced just because of the bicycle issue. but as they need to be

replaced, they will be replaced with a new kind, where the bars go this way. >> reporter: the other law calls for a $75 fine for parking your car in a bike lane. >> i know that safe biking and bike-friendly cities attract young people to live there and work there. >> reporter: a message confirmed by this commuter. >> this can be a pretty treacherous commuter for bike commuters. but i think the safer we make it, the more people will be coming back to the city, who maybe have chosen the suburbs. >> every little bit helps. you're out there fighting cars that weigh several tons. >> reporter: in baltimore, mike schuh, wjz eyewitness news. >> for someone with a 10-mile round-tip work commute, a psyche like -- cycling estimates they would save by switching from a car to commuting by bicycle. what has been killing honey bees has been a mystery for the

past year. but now, a promising lead has developed. and army scientists here in maryland helped track it down. >> reporter: healthy honey bee hives teem with life, until something called colony collapse disorder hits. >> it's very serious. beekeepers have lost 30% of their colonies each winter. and it doesn't present any of the usual suspects in terms of pathogens or pesticides that we're used to seeing when bees decline. >> reporter: and scientists like those at the usda research center in beltsville have been looking. three years ago, they formed a theory. >> we're not ruling anything out. in fact, we think it may be something like a one-two punch, where something weakens the bee initially. and a secondary pathogen takes over and actually kills them. >> reporter: now, another scientist at the university of montana thinks he's confirmed that theory. he says a virus has been isolated in an infected hive, along with a parasite. he believes the two acting together causes colonies to collapse. >> what it looks like it is that the bees can tolerate

either one alone. but when you combine the two, that tends to be lethal in a hurry. >> reporter: they are isolated at the biological center in harford county. begun during world war i with the advent of poison gas, the primary mission is protecting soldiers and civilians from toxic threats. the same science used in the bee study. and that's raised questions about the findings. >> it's really not accepted by the community until someone else in another institution has validated it, replicated it. >> reporter: whether it's an army lab, university or research center like this one, all are welcome in the hunt for a cause. and a cure. >> we're certainly eager for any advances in this. >> reporter: because without bees pollinating plants, much of the food we eat would vanish. alex demetrick, wjz eyewitness news. >> plants that depend on honey bees to reproduce include fruits, vegetables, and even nuts. including some that we know.

[ laughter ] >> you have to have bees for apples, peaches. let's take a look at the temps. peachy afternoon. right now, 73. winds west/southwest at 8. come back and take a look at a back and take a look at a terrific weekend afterer,,,,,,,,
