liquid gold. that's because on open market it can sell for hundreds of dollars. it's being sold on the internet and it's being bought by all kind of people from mothers desperate to feed their babies to men with sexual fetishes. this freezer is full of alma's extra breast milk. she produed too much after her youngest daughter was born and didn't want it to go to waste. >> why not try to sell it to someone that might need it so i was hoping this might be extra supplemental income. >> she posted an add on only -- thebreast.com, a website promising women to sell or donate their breast milk. alma's price, $2.50 an ounce with a discount for any local buyers >> i don't drink alcohol. i don't smoke. i eat very healthy. i'm sure my milk is on the top, you know top shelf quality. >> i would recommend is that you

do not buy milk from strangers. >> nancy mallan is a lactation specialist at the university of washington and says buying milk on the internet is risky. you don't know what the donor mother is putting into her body and substances like drugs and alcohol can easily be transmitted into the breast milk. even more alarming research out last month found about 10% of milk samples purchased on line contained cow's milk meaning the human milk had been diluted and a separate stud fre2013 found the majority of samples tested contained disease-causing bacteria. how do you know what it is? there's no regulations. >> reporter: instead, mothers in need should try breast milk banks where the milk is pasteurized to make sure it's safe. trouble is it's difficult to access them. only babies born prematurely or those who can get a doctor's note qualify. >> i looked into milk banks and they were mostly for nicu babies

11:17 pm
administration does not recommend buying anyone else's breast milk but experts tell us if you are going to share with another mother look for somebody you know like a friend or a relative. you might not want to think about it but next time it snows you just might be able to sled at the capitol without worrying about getting busted. a house committee passed a bill today that includes a provision that would allow sledding on capitol grounds. there's a ban on sledding at capitol, but early last month dozens of families went out and defied it. the bill that contains the measure still has to pass the full house. >> that still doesn't seem that long ago, does it? >> yeah. it really wasn't. >> and what a difference it is today. >> what a difference it is not just today but over the next couple of days. we'll probably have the best weather we've seen so far this yore and by that we're getting to 80 in a couple of days and that's what most people have been asking for. can we get a couple of 80s in a

11:19 pm
that's what gave us the moisture earlier today. you can actually see that spin here in the atmosphere. watch this. beautiful spin in the atmosphere and then look at this moisture right off the coast here. watch how it moves off, and then starts to move back in and in response to the upper low so it's being dragged back in off the coast or off the ocean. that's what's going to give us a chance for showers tomorrow night and into tomorrow morning and we have new information. this is very good news. if you don't want it to rain. most of the rain moves out and look at what happens by 6:00 a.m. down to the south of the metro area. not anticipating much in the way of the morning commute. earlier from gaithersburg to d.c. and lexington park and mechanicsville and by 11:00 everybody is on dry side. most of the day tomorrow is hooking dry. temperatures into the mid-60s. right along the bay here only 62 in annapolis and 65 in manassas and showers tomorrow
11:20 pm
isolated. i don't think for the most part you probably even the even need your umbrella tomorrow and you can put the umbrella away for the weekend. 80 on saturday and 30% chance of a light shower and sunday 76 and then this is what i'm talking about. 80 degrees on monday and 82 degrees on tuesday. we get to 80 degrees again on wednesday. that's three days in a row at 80 thursday yeah i went down to 76 but, let's just shoot for 80 then too. >> we like it. thank you, doug. >> so our football guys made their first picks and the

11:25 pm
problem. a source of the redskins says he's a top-notch football character and that's really important for the redskins. he is well-coached and he has shown improvement year after year when he played at iowa. now, recently new gm said he wanted a big nasty player. that was the kind of guy he wanted to draft and that's exactly what he's getting. >> you know i like to consider myself to be a nasty football player and want to jump in and earn all the respect from the teammates first and learn the plays and go out and improve with all the guys. seeing that phone ring on table, just a big weight lifted off your shoulders and now you can figure out what we're doing next. >> guys redskins fans should be really excited about this pick an offensive line coach bill callahan should definitely be very excited about this pick. i know there is lots of excitement here in chicago about the draft, but i have a hard time believing it is matching what's going on at msg.
