we did have flooding earlier in the day. the rain is pulling away and there's one more little system in the pipeline. see that one right there? that's going to be passing by to our south tonight. so we'll watch southern suburbs, but we're glad to ditch some of this rain and let me tell you it was substantial, a lot of places picking up over an inch of rain and that is on top of the melting snow that we were getting around the region. we're keeping a close eye onon some of the streams and creekss down towards charles county and st. mary's county where you picked up 1.2 inches of rain.f here is a site for sore eyes. e we got up into the low 50s as early as 10:00 this morning and it's still very comfortable out there now, so the snow pack is melting away quickly. it's 49-degrees and let me show you this.you that is right now, 20-degrees warmer than it was 24 hours ago. but of course we anticipated a big melt off today and those streams and creeks have just about all they can take. we don't have a floo w

effect, but you need to know that they are at bankful and caitlyn roth is standing. yes, sue, actually i don't want to be too dramatic, i think it was much of more of a site earlier this morning. behind me this is probably theb part of the creek where we can see where the water was running the highest and running the fastest much it is coming outom overin its banks and earlier thr when we were at the height of the melting of the snow and the pouring rain that's when we had flooding reports come throughors for this portion of flag owe creek. earlier today they had water come over into the parking lots and out onto the parkway itself. for any of you who live in the silver springs, toe comb owe park area maybe you were traveling through here and they saw a couple of inches of snow and they also saw the ice, in fact

inch of ice and then following that the rapid snow melt.elt. here just like about every where in the area, the exception probably being southern maryland. you don't even see much snow on the ground anymore. so any of those inches that did accumulate was then iced over, o but then so quickly melted away by the combination of the rising temperatures overnight and the rising waters much as sue mentioned, the flood watch hasah been cancel. this is probably the worst of of what we're seeing. earlier this afternoon when we going through the flood watches on any creeks and streams it was pretty localized like this.. dry weather is settling in andn we shouldn't have any more problems as we go through the latest of the evening. > we are following a shocking arrest involving a long time swim coach the at st. mary'ss college in maryland. maryland state police say they arrested andre bash instance last friday. he was charged with child pornography.

today, basically a group known as safe tech for schools s maryland is fighting for the safe use of technology in the classroom citing myriad of studies showing adverse healthsh effects and the fact that the world health organization has classified by phi and mobile phone signals as possible human carcinogens. they are asking for wired technology as opposed to wireless or by phi. they also want teachers and students to be taught to use i pads correctly, on the desk as opposed to on their lapse. this is an issue that is still being researched.rche so it's still controversial. several people chimed in.. you and your team blue it with w your report.epor this technology is absolutely safe.safe you didn't even present a single expert on wireless or rf technology relying instead on the pressure group environmental group which is a single issue lobbyist on this topic.ic. if there is even a chance thatne this could be an issue why

it? i don't think laura dida anything but open the door to a conversation that needs to be had. her job is to bring awareness to the public about major topics, issues that are out there and that's what she did. but the parents with safe tech for schools maryland say they don't want to wait 20 years for more studies to be done.one. to mr. goldings comment we used multiple sources of informationr and extended three different invitations to mcps to join us on the air or at least give us a quote, but each time they declined. i did speak today with dr. peter paris, director of computer and electrical engineering at george mason. here is his take.hi he sayss the use of by phi in te classroom appears quite save and is -- and it is orders of magnitude safer than the use of cellphones held in close proximity to the body. he says i have not been able to find a credible study that indicates reason for concernason from using by phi communicationa when access points are at

a few meters from users. now, one question that came up on the morning show today, if i you are concerned about by phi in schools, shouldn't you be b concerned about by phi at home? or by phi anywhere else? well, dr. deborah davis, a cancer epidemiologist who we did interview for our story, she says, quote, the chief reasoneas for concern at schools is the combined action of all those devises that are being held h close to the body and brain operating at the same time. the three most important things about routers are location, location, location. distance is your friend, she says so routers should not be located directly near workers,r, but high on ceilings.ngs. regarding home routers whenever possible people should be using routers that are far away from f where people are sleeping or playing and you should use wired whenever possible at home.e at so again, this is a continually researched topic.

it is very controversial, but wt wanted to followup and address some of the concerns that peoplr are raisingns online. >> yeah, by phi is every where. >> it is. if there is even a question out there about it it needs to be talked about, like you said. > absolutely. that's what we're trying to do, present both sides. >> exactly here. marijuana legal in 23 states and the district, but that is not stopping facebook from shuttingg down dispensary pages. plus, how valuable is labron james 28 million twit othersilli fuelers. we're going to tell just how much one tweet from the nba all star is actually worth. > self parking cars, how about self parking chairs. the company that is making m office chairs move when you clapp your hands. jim low kay is up next. move it.
