summer. angie has this muscle milk. she will share the scoop on that. >> let's get started. look around and up humid and on u youp e . 7 we 7atsiin deto s we'r at 77 inside e thltbeway. weshare that wi th with richmond. up th canumberld a beautiful morning with 73. ocean city, hitting the beach today it will be a good beach day. up to 91. a couple of thunderstorms this afternoon. our high temperatures similar to what we saw yesterday. tomorrow more scattered storm and 89 degrees. a look at the satellite and radar loop. clouds are few and far between at the moment. toward west virginia a batch of moisture. this is along a front that will slow down as it comes here. hopefully an afternoon cooling thunderstorm or two. the sunset

is still close to 00 but every morning when i drive in to work it is getting darker every morning. >> i know. but you know what? the commute is looking a little brighter in some spots. we will get to that in just a moment but first a traffic alert for those that use 50 westbound at 197. crash activity is taking away the left lane and the hov lane. so drivers use caution. moving along, here's the outer loop. jammed up from new hampshire to georgia. turn on that camera and hope the doors. there you go. you can see the drivers are slowing down a bit. a live shot at university. what's up on 270. here's the shot under sunny skies. we are pretty slow from 118 germantown to montross. now we will hop over to the inner loop in virginia this time and show you a live shot from little river. we are finding drivers stuck in

congestion from braddock to 66. just volume. no incidents or accidents there. this is what i'm talking about on 395 before this you are doing fine. crossing the 14th street bridge you are seeing those speeds drop a little bit. no incidents along the way. that's a look at cameras around the region. now over to you. in the news right now, fire investigators in montgomery county are trying to piece together a morning mystery. they are on the scene of seven separate fires in and around the damascus area. four of them were smoking hail bays -- hay bails. three were set in mailboxes outside of homes. 9 news now digital correspondent, armando trull is live in the 24,000 block of woodfield school road with more. >> that's pretty much all i can tell you but these images will tell you the rest of the story. one of those fires is here on woodfield school road.

this is the scene where firefighters are trying to put out the fire. you can see the firefighters actually adding water over there. to your right and if you come back you can see the firefighters are still working on the truck, trying to get the fire out. a lot of smoke pouring out of that fire and with us to talk a little bit about what has been going on all of this morning is captain with the montgomery county fire department. what can you tell us about the fires? where did they begin? how did they start and what are you looking for? >> we had four hay bail fires such as this one. also some mailboxes that were intentionally set on fire. at least three in the damascus area. at in the point investigators are looking for information from the community asking them to call 240-777-2263. again, this type of fire, all fires are dangerous. this could potentially spread to occupied homes. at that time of the morning

obviously can have adverse affects on people who do not know the fire is at their homes. >> have there been any homes damaged or people hurt. >> definitely some property damage, some mailboxes and the cost of this is just to be known by investigators but it will be a costly fire throughout the area. >> do you believe this maybe juveniles that have been setting this as a prank? >> very early to tell that. but that's why we are asking for the community if they saw anything or become aware of anything that people are talking about or saw anything, even though it may not be unusual to them we'd like to know and to call our carson tip line. >> captain, the fires, did they use any accelerant, anything like that, or simply struck a match. >> for the most part recovered a gas can at one of the fires. not sure evidence. evidence collection at this point but we appreciate the

communities help with this. >> that's the scene here in damascus. luckily no one has been hurt and the injury has not been significant at least to homes. live in damascus, armando trull for 9 news now and wusa9.com. >> thank you. be sure to stay with 9 news now and wusa9.com for the latest on the investigation in to these arsons. we will bring you the latest information when it is available. we're also following a developing story this morning out of southeast washington. a 13-year-old girl is recovering after being shot by a stray bullet while sitting in her home. happened arndbehton ugk ers doplace ne alabama avenue. th ice tell 9 news now at several fired fiat at the e th ckbain the back and taken to a neosar hbypital treated and released. police aren't sure who fired

enough vaccine to go around. susan roberts has more. >> reporter: the u.s. will only have less than half of the h1n1 vaccine supply by the time flu season kicks off. >> we're in a race between the vaccine and the virus. and gives the virus more of an advantage. >> the government ordered 120 million doses to be ready by mid october with 0 million to follow. now drug companies say they have run in to production problems and will have only 45 million doses ready in time. another 20 million doses will be delivered in the weeks afterwards. the government is calling the setback a delay, not a shortage. officials say they still expect to receive the same amount of the vaccine, just may take a little longer. as for the doses that do roll out in time, those will go to the people most at risk for catching the virus. pregnant women, health care workers and children. >> children excrete more virus.

they are less hygienic and 10 news yaysic about kissing mom, dad, grandma and aunt susie. they are the great distributors. >> reporter: that means some high risk individuals will have to wait an extra month before getting their h1n1 flu shots but the good news is the production of the seasonal flu vaccine won't be affected at all. seasonal flu kills 36,000 americans each year. inoculations have begun in part those country and they say the supply is fully stocked. in virginia, governor kaine says the department of health is expanding the call centers to handle h1n1. questions can also be submitted to the health department. this information is on our website at wusa9.com. under links and living well. one of afghanistan's most powerful war lords warns there

will be no end to the war as long as foreign forces remain this the country. this threat came as a taliban suicide bomber in kabul injured seven people and -- killed seven people and injured more. coalition leaders said offensive operations will be suspended for the presidential election which is on thursday. today president obama will turn his attention to the middle east when he sits down with egyptian president hosni mubarak. the state department says egypt and the united states have agreed that israel, the palestinians annie rehabilitates need to work together to reopen negotiations. the white house is insisting that president obama is not backing away from a government-run health insurance option. while he continues to tell congress and the american people on his health insurance reform, a survey shows consumer confidence is dropping. the nonpartisan robert wood

johnson foundation found 52% of those survey ready worried they won't be able to afford future care and 30% are worried they will go bankrupt from medical bills. the federal cash for clunkers program is about to pick up speed. the obama administration is tripling the number of workers processing the used car transactions. some dealers say the government has been slow to reimburse them for incentives up to $4,500 to vehicles. initially the government said dealerships could expect to receive rebates within ten days but the program has been going on nearly seven week and several dealerships in our area say they only got their first payment last week. back to the debate over health care reform. fact or fiction, senator edward kennedy wouldn't have received advanced treatment for his brain tumor had he been living in britain? that's because british health care officials would have found extending his life unworthy of the expense. that is a claim of the critics

of the proposed health care system. with me is a michael fontroy and good to have you with us again. >> and the answer is fact or fiction, senator kennedy under the british system would not have received extended medical care for his tumor because he is older in life and therefore they don't see the need to extend that life at a great cause. >> fiction. >> i would go farther than that. that is a disgusting lie. that is designed to scare people in to thinking that the obama administration health care proposal is actually going to pull the plug in this case on grand daddy. it is outrageous. ridiculous and people who know better have to speak up and put a stop to this. >> reporter: we are saying that may be what goes on in great britain but the obama health care reform is not the same as the british plan? >> it is not the same but the

difference in the british plan is, the way it is designed it is single care. we should start there. that's what president obama said he would not do, he would not model it after the medicare program or any of the programs like in britain. so with that right there, immediately separates the two types of systems. >> and i agree with pamela but that doesn't matter. this is about political strategy. for people who are trying to muddy the water and create uneasiness in the country, anything they can use to conflict what is going on in other countries with what obama is trying to 0 propose is all they need to say it is not worthy of support. >> we have constituents yelling at representatives saying have you read the bill. do you understand what is going on? do we have a bill? it seems as if we have something in the house. we don't have anything the

senate. >> two separate things right now. you have a bill that has been put together by the house and you have a bill that's being put together essentially by the senate. it takes three committees. the thing about this is complex because the american public doesn't understand our system of government and how a bill becomes a law. i guess we need to bring sesame street back. >> she said that. >> what we have going on is we have three committees that have put together what should come out of the house and the senate trying to put together what should come out of the senate and it hasn't gotten to the point where it can be merged. so all of these are balls in the air and ideas that need to be brought together. >> isn't in the administration's fault, though, for not sending the hill something that they really want on paper, this is what i want here, here and here. >> i think there's certainly some blame that can go to the white house for letting the

public debate get away from them on this. the president has been trying to talk about what he was talking about during the campaign. so there should be no surprise we have this bill at this time. but unfortunately, again, the tall talk about all of these side issues that crowded out the actual bill to the extent there is a bill. because you can tech flickly argue there is not a bill yet. so it is a mess. >> the president has said it is not a line drawn in the sand that you have to have the public option for health care reform. conservatives may be happy about that but liberal democrats are a problem. pam, you have written about the congressional black caucus. >> they won't support a plan without a public option and the reason behind a lot of this why the public option is so important here. remember cobra? that bill came together and the intent behind that for congress understand -- and senator kennedy worked har 0 on this to say if you lost your job you

wouldn't lose your health insurance. what they didn't do is put anything on the back end that said when you - your job that you would even be able to afford it. what the insurance industry is they followed the rules of the law and they send you a letter saying now you can keep your insurance even though you lost your job but what happens is most people can't afford the insurance. the costs are astronomical. cobra is extremely expensive. so the american public would answer if they don't have another option, another place to go they will go back to the people who are offering cobra they can't afford. >> health care reform without a public option is not really reform. >> that's right. >> and i know some have said that. but what will happen is we will have a watered down health care bill that tweaks the edges. those that want to call it reform will do so but the reality is it won't do much for the millions of people who are uninsured or under insured some of whom have been acting up at

these town hall meet ks and don't know the trouble they are in with regard to health insurance. >> right. let's talk about 2010. it is the democrats who are in the majority so they are hearing a lot of angry talk. after the two 2011 elections will it be a democrat controlled house an senate? >> i think so. >> i don't think that any of the democrats will be in trouble for supporting these types of things whether they get everything they want or not because, again, i'll remind you, the republicans have not brought forth any different solutions. and so until you have something better to offer people -- >> all of these angry voices are yelling at we see mostly democratic representatives out there in front an the conservatives are going along with the angry people. wouldn't they just -- >> i think we have time to fix that. and i also believe just because you hear angry people does not necessarily mean they will show up in the same number at the polls. i'm not yet convinced that this

angry group that we are talking about is actually very significant. and in many of these states that need health insurance and the people need health insurance i think people understand the real stories. >> if you look at the numbers from the robert wood johnsons it says people are worried they aren't going to be able to afford health care a or that it will go away and if they don't get reform, employers won't offer health care. they can't afford it. >> the loopholes, look agent everyone and specific individuals, black and hispanics who say they are not so much concerned about immigration or health care reform but they need jobs and if they had a job they could make afford to purpose insurance. they want jobs. >> i understand that but i think in some respects they could be missing the point because the cost of health insurance is exploding in so many sectors of our economy that people aren't going to be able to get hired because employers are spending too much money to cover employees. >> do you think the president

can turn this around. he has gone out on his bully pulpit every event he goes to it is about health care reform. >> the worst thing that happened is the best thing that happened and that is the public option discussion has brought the silent majority out to talk and now they are opening their mouths and getting involved in the debate. >> i think the president has to be more aggressive and the president has to naomi hilels. he needs to stop being so cute with these people and naomi hilels of members of congress and outside forces who are out here lying to people about what is going on with regard to health care reform bill. >> thank you both for being with us. the first hurricane of the 2009 atlantic season is gaining strength as it begins to head north. firefighters are trying to gain ground on a wildfire affecting neighbors to the 29w (announcer) back to school means back to busy mornings.

eyes on the washington monument. you can see the haze in the atmosphere. no rain yet. pretty warm outside. take the lunch out a little later this afternoon. we are already at 80. southwest winds at six miles an hour. we share 80 degrees with answer drews air force base. also 80 at patuxent river. up to martinsburg, west virginia, the temperature is 74 and it is 81 in fredericksburg. there's the thunderstorms coming in through west virginia. a cool front will ease its way toward us. probably start to stall in our northwest suburbs. so you folks out here, panhandle of western maryland have the best chance of rain today and a couple of thunderstorms are popping inside the beltway. late this afternoon, your lunch isn't in danger. we will take up to 87. air quality is moderate and there's the high, as i mentioned, 91 degrees. all right. so here's the deal. high pressure is sitting off the coast. we have southwesterly winds ahead of the cool front that will be here later this afternoon. i'm keeping my eye on hurricane

bill. it is a category two storm. let me tell you the coordinates. it is forecast to become a category three storm over the next 24 to 36 hours. it turns northward and where this stands compared to the u.s., if it stays on the projected model path it should stay away from us but could generate rough surf around here as we head to the weekend. the forecast model for the rain shows this afternoon we have the green on here indicating some scattered showers and storms. northern and western suburbs have the best chance and as we look to tomorrow, another handful of storms developing not long after the lunch hour. a check on the next seven, everybody. it is a little touch and go. we'll stay close to 90 the next several days but by the week we will be looking good in the middle 80s. that's my seven-day forecast. we will be coming right back for more of e th9:00 a.m.

the number of us riding metro can down since the crash. the washington examiner reports radio that ridership was down. metro has had numerous delays but has seenen increase in ridership. people are dumping the train for the bus. should spotsylvania county join the virginia railway express. they are holding meetings to hear your opinions. it begins at 6:30 at the courtland high school auditorium. the cost would be a 2% hike to the county's gas tax. right now let's go to angie

for an update on the rush hour. >> thank you. we are half way through the 9:00 hour and this is something new. it comes to us from northwest dc. a report of crash activity at the intersection of macarthur and fox hall. and we're going to move it along and take you outside and show you the outer loop. below speed between new hampshire and georgia avenue. just volume. virginia 86, still congested as drivers approach the beltway. this is a live shot at gallows road. traffic is flowing freely here. 3 t 5 not so bad around duke street but drivers are slowing down around the pentagon making their way to the 14th street bridge and crossing it. taking you to the outer loop, this time in virginia. slow go from telegraph over to i believe -- actually i should say van doren to telegraph and no incidents or accidents along the way. that's a look at traffic. back to you. many college students will be consumed with more than just studying when they head off to

college. they may also be consuming too much alcohol alcohol-related deaths among college students continued to increase each year with me is a doctor, a former university chancellor and now president of the distilled spirits council. thank you for being with us. seven years ago the national institute for alcohol abuse and alcoholism issued a call to action, calling for a change in the culture of drinking at u.s. college campuses. we just said every year the incidents of serious injuries continues to increase on our universities. why aren't we heeding the call? >> a lot of work is being done, but it is a very difficult cultural piece to overcome. fraternities still largely have an alcohol culture. young women are now drinking more than they have in the past. and it is ironic because we have actually made pretty good progress. 8th grade numbers believe or

not drinking in the 8th grade numbers, 89th, 10th, 12th grade numbers over the last ten years have come down a little bit but a nice trend. binge drinking on college campus has not improved much. a little improvement over the last couple of years but not enough. and university presidents are befuddled by the problem. they have worked very hard at it. i don't know a single university or college that doesn't have on-campus programs. i know at the distilled spirits council, we ran a series of conferences over a four or five year period looking at the campus and community. you don't want kids to get pushed off campus and drinking in the community. you don't want the community to push them off in secret drinks. the campus is a hard, hard problem. it is a cultural issue and starts with parents. >> a lot of kids get their first drink in the home from parents who are helping to make them more social or for other

adults and the whole idea whether it is popular culture we report the stories of the party universities every year and basically they are partying because they are drinking. the media isn't helping this but what can a parent do? we have a number of parents reporting to campus right now. >> parents have to realize they have more influence with their young adult students than they believe they do. all the studies show that. kids are still listening to you. the first thing is if your kids are under aged and heading off to college this year, sit them down and have a serious chat about obeying the law and not drinking. there are good reasons for not drinking under the age of 21. judgment is not well formed at that point and it does make sense not to drink under the age of 21. the second thing, terribly important because many, many students at colleges are now over the age of 21, have a serious conversation with your young adult students over 21

about avoiding binge drinking. find ways to stay engaged and involved. put your studies first. put athletic and working out first. all of those good health things are so essential and really understand the truth about alcohol. look, there's no difference between hard and soft alcohol. alcohol is alcohol. it is a standard drink. young people need to recognize that we it is beer, wine or spirits they are all just as intoxicating and you can't get away with drinking more of one or less of the other. you have got to be serious about understanding the facts about alcohol. understand alcohol poisoning. i mean if you get in to a habit of binge drinking, at some point you are going to pass out. and you are going to have problems with that kind of a thing. and you better hope the students around you recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning and get you help. you need to understand it will have a tremendous impact on your studies. one of the things that i found

at the university that bothered me the most is the notion that somehow partying start on thursday nights, not on friday night. let's get started on thursday night. well, this is crazy, young people are going to school. they have got to focus on those studies so it starts at home. have that conversation. >> do you need to look at the university -- talk about the 8th graders where you say it is unbelievable but they could be drinking in the 8th grade. look at the choices students are making and maybe a year away from universities that don't have astricta policy or their reputation is too much in to partying, rather than academics. should you be that aggressive and involved? >> well, i certainly know parents who take a hard look at that. and more and more university presidents are very worried about being ranked high on the party school atmosphere. i think that's the correct approach to this. i mean, it does take a campus

wide effort. coaches, administrators, health professionals. one of the most important things that can happen for a young person when they go off to school, particularly for the first time, for those freshmen is to make a good solid contact with an adult on the university campus in that first six to eight weeks. parents need to recognize that first to six week period for freshmen is critical. stay in touch with your young students during that period of time. even if they peer to be pushing you away. you are the parent, you are the boss, stay in touch with those kids. >> but new rules don't allow the university to tell the parents when their child is in jeopardy. >> one of the things that always bothered me a great deal is this notion that if they are 18 you have got to deal with them as a majority. i know i used to stand up at admissions programs and say, look, we're going to take a tough line. right from orientation onward an i see more and more

universities getting serious about putting that in their literature for admissions and i think that makes a lot of sense. >> reporter: thank you very much for being with us. the bottom line is stay involved with your children and be there for them. we'll be right back.

ath. uaw usa's travel writer is here. the secret to getting the most is coming hungry for a buffet. >> the jetblue package has got an lot of buzz. it is a good deal but not for everyone. just like a buffet you have to be able to fly and fly a lot and you have to do it between september 8th and october 8th. but if you have an open schedule or don't mind being gone every weekend for four or five weekends in a row. it is a great deal. >> there are great places you can fly that makes it a value- added deal. what are the places. >> it is good for california. those flights urn $250 but usually close to $300. so if you go twice in a month you have got your money back

there. one benefit is you have three days advance notice and no blackout. if there is any seat available on the flight you can take it. if you decide on tuesday you want to see friends in los angeles or seattle or san francisco on friday, you can do it and those are expensive places to fly, especially last minute. >> it sounds easy but i imagine there are strings attached to the package. what are the strings. >> they are not bad for a deal this good. you have to book flights at least three days in advance. you have to do it by phone, not on-line. that's one added step but it is a good value. you can change your flights as often as you want as long as you do it more than three days before what you scheduled. if you do it within three days it is $100 change fee. the rules are reasonable for a good deal and you have to fly september 8th and 0 october 8th and if you are interested you have to book the $599 pass by friday. >> that is key. in you work it out and you are traveling every weekend,

average of $120 a flight. there are places maybe you shouldn't plan to go to because they are cheaper. where would those be. >> boston is relatively cheap to fly from dulles. new york is obviously pretty cheap to fly to. florida flights can be cheap but if you like the last minute thing and don't want to plan it in advance it is great for you but if you are going to boston and save money not for you. why is jetblue doing this? you think jetblue and discounts already. what why are they taking this step. >> i have heard people say they must be struggling and i don't think that is the case with jetblue. for all airlines the period after labor day in to early october tends to be one of the slowest travel periods of the year. all the kids are back to school and everyone saving up for a late summer trip if not labor day the week or two after. they are desperate to sell seats and they have gotten so much marketing mileage out of

this. they admitted that is part of the reason was to get their name out there. i can't remember another airline promotion in recent memory. i have seen it in on everything from paris hilton's blog to the "early show." >> we saw you on thers talking about it. >> popular deal. >> if you are going from boston to the washington area you may be in for good luck. >> the jetblue all you can jet pass may not be the way to get to boston. southwest started to fly from boston from baltimore and airtran flies from baltimore to boston. starting next month jetblue will add flights to boston. fares 39 to $59 each way, that is $920,116 after taxes. i think once jetblue starts to fly it could get to $78 round trip. >> unbelievable. we appreciate the tip. coming up on 9 news now at 9:00 a.m., we will be talking
