and lows will -- winds will pick up at about 10 to 20 and gust. we'll talk about how long it will be cold. we will also explain why we are live here in the museum. big -- a big announcement for you in just a bit. the day began with a violent look. three teens were shot in three separate areas, which happened in the night and the morning. bullets flew on out here. that's where we find our lindsey mastis live. >> reporter: absolutely not. you can understand why people are just so upset. we believe that they are related and now that they are trying to find out if the victims and the suspects are a part of the opposing group. but the incident as you understand, it's why his parents are very upset about safety in the school. shortly after the shootings,

they tried to get to the scene, worried about what their children may have seen. >> yes, very troubling. >> reporter: three of then were shot in three different locations. all at the same time. >> they are spread over in 20 blocks. >> reporter: one victim shot in the 2300 block of fourth street. both those victims have both non-life-threatening injuries. but the victim shot right in front of the school is in critical condition. he says that the officer, they were nearby when one of the shootings happened. she said that he followed the suspects down the street. >> there was a free pursuit after this incident. this was an apprehension for them after that pursuit. >> reporter: and police found clothes on the drive here. about five blocks away on sixth and mississippi. they found a weapon that appears to be a .9 millimeter. parents say there are ongoing problems here in this neighborhood. >> they will be shooting and everything. that's safe. they need to put it into it because it does not make sense.

every single day. they need to come in here and worry if their child will be okay. >> that's an outrage. especially shooting in front of the elementary school. you know, some of the kids said that it could have been harmed. >> reporter: well, that shooting, it occurred right out here in front of the school and the school went on lockdown immediately. police, they say that they now have two people in custody, but no one has been arrested. leslie? >> yeah, no child should have to deal with that on any school day. and let's hope that they will get that record figured out soon. still no arrests in two daylight attacks on women in bethesda and wheaton. it's been all over tv, but they are still waiting for somebody to call in a tip that will break this case. bruce leshan is live for us in the bethesda neighborhood where the man tied up a family and sexually assaulted the housekeeper. bruce? >> reporter: yeah, anita, police say after attacking the

family here, the man stole the housekeeper's gray 2005 ford expedition right out in front here. police have been looking all over the place for that truck, but they have yet to find it or the man. friends say that the victim is coping, after the thug attacked her at gunpoint in her own garage. >> how is she doing? >> i think that she is okay. everyone might be doing that situation. just grateful that no one in that family was hurt. and we, the community, you know, we are trying to take care of each other. >> reporter: some say that the victim was holding her little baby. and the gunman was so cold that he actually pointed the weapon here right at the child. which is why the woman, they did exactly what e he told her. >> she wants more safety here. she wants to know that this happened to her while she was

holding her child, the man pointing the gun at her baby. which, you know, just shows what kind of a person that is. >> reporter: the man stole her car and her atm card, and used it at a bank in the hills. he did the same thing in bethesda, after tying up the family and sexually assaulting the housekeeper. he used her card at a drugstore in the plaza in d.c. >> were you worried that he might do it a third time? >> we don't have any indication that he will do it again. but of course, that will be on everyone's minds. >> reporter: and both neighborhoods are within three quarters of the mile of the metro stop. the wheaton community is in the offbase housing complex for the military families. >> good job. [ applause ] >> reporter: and his mom is among those who have banded together to push for more police controls. >> i don't think that the families whose husband deploy often, if they should have to worry about something like that. >> reporter: and police, they are really hoping that somebody will take a close look at that photograph, recognizes the man,

calls the police so that they could get them off the streets before he attacks somebody else. there is a 1,000 reward. let's hope that the tip comes in. thank you. well tonight, we have outraged all over the world over the video showing four u.s. marines urinating on the corporations of the taliban fighters. afghanistan tighters -- fighters are denouncing the video and the united states is promising a complete investigation and condemning what the defense secretary calls, "utterly deplorable." two of those four men have identified asthma reaps now based in north carolina. their battalion just back from afghanistan last fall. cbs news correspondent joins us live. now, david, this comes at a very delegate time for the u.s. afghan relations? >> reporter: well, it does for one thing. >> the u.s. is trying to get them to sign off on the beginning peace talks with the

taliban. that's a very dicey procedure, which lands in the middle of it. that will go on for some time because of the investigation into this video. it's going to take some time and it covers not just, you know, the four marines that you will be able to see in the video, but anyone who knew about it. so it could be a large number for the marines that could implicate it. >> you bring up something very different here. do we have any ideas who took this video and put it on the internet? >> reporter: well, that is the best. you dee see, four people in the picture here, and the sniper teams are usually made up of five marines. that's the fifth member of the sniper team. as to how it got out? the best bet is when the unit got home to north carolina, they started showing off some

of their war trophies and this got out into a wider circle and suddenly popped up into the internet. >> everyone, the secretary of state has deplored some of the same thing. any sense that it modifies anyone in afghanistan? >> certainly you're not going to do that. but that's the question, really, you know, how upset are the afghan people about this? if you can remember back a couple years ago, there were, well, great protest in afghanistan over reports that the guards had urinated on the koran. never any pictures of that and never actually was confirmed that it happened. but that sparked protest in afghanistan. here, the questions are the taliban so disliked in afghanistan that the people will not get outraged about this? but on the other hand, afghanistan is a country where

personal honor is everything. an act of dishonor like this, well, it may set off the entire country, regardless of who it was being dishonored. >> tremendous insight for us, david. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate that. we ought to note that the investigating officers are recommending the court marshal. now, manning is accused of giving more than 750,000 secret u.s. documents to the whistle blowing documents known as wikileaks. the court marshal investigation will be going up the final command before the decision comes down. manning facing 22 counts, including aiding the enemies. now to a heads up for the drivers. near the wilson bridge, two lanes on out here near the eisenhower connectors will be shut down overnight so crews could install overhead signs. the right lane will close at 9. the center lane will close at 11:00. both lanes will reopen until 5:00 tomorrow morning, but

expect significant delays. metro riders, get ready to pay more for your commute. today, the general manager formally introduced a plan to overcome the $166 million budget shortfall. that proposal includes the 5% fair hike on both metro rail and metrobus. a 25-cent parking rate increase and the elimination of the controversial rush hour surcharge. the biggest change is to the riders who will use those cars. they will pay one-way flat fairs of $6 during rush hour and $4 off peak. >> people who pay taxes and fairs, they will never be happy about it. but if we are provided with good service, then we should be able to keep the price down for you in comparative range with other commodities. >> we are just beginning to dig out of the hole. >> the fair hike, it's not a done deal yet. there will be a series of public hearings and if the

board approves it by may 1, you could see the first changes come here by july 1. and we here at wusa are really excited about a new partnership. wnew 99.1 is washington, d.c.'s brand new all-new radio station. our 9news now weather team will also be a big part of their team. meteorologist topper shutt joins us live from the museum to explain what the excitement is about, tom? >> reporter: well, we are pretty excited and excited to be on the terrace because it's 58 degrees. let me show you the graphic now. we're looking at a stark date for 99-- start date for 99.1 next thursday, okay, at 5:00 a.m. it will be all news all the type, cbs. we're going to provide the weather. weather will be every four minutes. and again, it debuts next thursday at 5:00 a.m. with more of a focus on local news, which will be one of their signatures. we'll come back and talk to some of the folks we'll be working with throughout the day and we'll also talk about the arctic air. it's just around the corner.

details are coming up. >> thanks, topper. still ahead, the fairfax county school that is considered unwalkable. every student has been assigned to a bus, even if they live a block away. but up next, the maryland town that comes together to honor a bravery of a fallen soldier.

a frederick county soldier killed in afghanistan was remembered today for his bravery. the funeral was held here in maryland. and the 30-year-old soldier was killed by the roadside bomb back on december the 11th. nearly the entire town came together to honor the local hero. these would have been familiar sounds to the army specialist. and the 30-year-old killed by the ied on patrol in afghanistan last month. >> he was very proud for what he did with the country. >> reporter: he knew the costs

well. because at a time, this was his job. and as a member of the military, the ceremonial old guard, he carried the colors and buried the dead. now, at arlington national cemetery. and then, he reenlisted it for combat duties overseas. today, they returned the honor. many of the people, they never knew him. but they stood outside the fire hall where he was eulogized and volunteered patriot guard served as escorts for his body. >> well, he didn't know me and he died for me. >> he loved his girls. talking about them all the time. they will hear about how much they loved him and how wonderful of a person he was. he will definitely be a very missed part of his life. >> i just hope that not his family, but the entire country, they will understand the costs that have been paid by these military families and that we are worthy of the sacrifices. >> reporter: and they will be

keeping vigil over him all night tonight. and they will escort his body to arlington tomorrow, where he will be buried ironically and tragically. and by the same ceremonial guard that he once served in. in woodsboro, maryland, 9news now. >> the possession from maryland will begin at noon tomorrow. volunteer fire departments are among much of the routes and expected to turn out. today marks the two year anniversary of the devastating earthquake in haiti. the victims were remembered at the embassy here in northwest washington. more than 316,000 people were killed in that quake back in 2010. they are still in temporary settlement camps. the yorkshire terrier is being treated for injuries when he was thrown for a balcony. they called police after witnessing that she launched something out of the townhouse and it turns out that it was the 3-year-old dog.

when police arrived, they somehow fell. and they were not buying it and put it under arrest. >> now, i think if it was just a few feet more that they may have expired due to the trauma for them. and they have all been drained, where that is the guy who got stuck. the prince george's county team rushed in so they would not get stuck and pulled that poor fella to safety. >> we're not clear why he was out there. >> that would be the question, wouldn't it? >> yeah. not exactly a fun time getting stuck in the mud for sure. and to get it back to you.

>> i'm sorry, we're going to topper. i'm all mixed up. it's the mud that will get me all mixed up. i'm sorry, topper. even he is not complaining about being outside. >> i would hope not. that's a very nice day for them. maybe even late march. and really in terms of the high temperatures, it's more like early april. not really much of a breeze, but with that said, there is an arctic front that is lurking. we'll talk about that in just a minute. we're live here because we're going to have an all-news radio station. 99.1. i'm joined by nancy lyons who will be anchoring in with me. we'll provide weather for you. you're a local, correct? >> reporter: yes, i was born here at gw hospital and i won't say how many yearsing ago. >> fine. so now you came from mpr, anchoring the weekend? >> all things considered. >> during the newscast. >> reporter: what's going to be the focus with n.e.w.?

germany embassy compound. it was pretty exciting. >> that's a pretty good story. all right, we look forward to working with you. and it'll start next week at 5:00. good times. i'll try to get some winter weather here. quite frankly, i'm bored out of my mind. >> yes, here we e are out at the mow -- here we are out at the museum. let's talk about the arctic air out on the way. we do have clouds on the increase tonight. we're looking at the chance for the showers that rolled off late. it will be a dry commute, no doubt about that. we're looking at in the 50s. that's going to change when the cold front rolls on through. let's go ahead and go to the computer graphics. live shot now, this is our weather cam at the capitol. kind of a similar shot to what we have right now. here are the temperatures, 55. can you believe it? the pressure is falling now, 29.49 inches of mercury. winds are light out of the south at 8. okay, temperatures, 57 in arlington, 57 in leesburg.

mid-50s at great falls and rockville, what's going on? 54 in beltsville. all right, well, here is the deal. we're looking at the cold front off to the west. the rains, they are just moving in now to west virginia. it will initially be in the form of the showers for us after midnight. but as the cold air will move in, it will end as snow showers, particularly north and west of town. now, for tonight, increasing ladiness with showers -- cloudiness with showers. believe it or not, we'll fall into the 30s by dawn. winds are south southwest at 10 to 20 and rather gusty. we are looking at the big snows, west of the divide here. by morning for us, maybe a flurry. windy is can and cold. temperatures -- windy and cold, temperatures in the 30s. dress for the 30s. so dress for the 20s tomorrow. maybe a snow flurry, much colder. temperatures are 35 to 40. essentially holding steady. now, there are high-wind advisories to the west, essentially of i-81 including

oakland and petersburg and also, we're looking into harrisonburg. the gusts are up to 55 miles per hour. you'll go west of the divide. all right, let's go ahead and go to the high temperatures for us today. upper 50s today in the upper 30s tomorrow. 39 in arlington. during your next seven days, get ready for it. upper 30s tomorrow, the mid-30s on saturday. maybe a snow shower on sunday. another disturbance will be pushing through. we'll keep it dry for martin luther king day. rain on tuesday and then cold again on wednesday and thursday. but we're not locking ourselves into a winter pattern just yet. but it will be a cold three days ahead. back to you. >> roller coaster ride continues. >> yes, we like it. >> all right, welcoming up, caught on tape, a homeowner attacked after he confronts the man who was trying to break into the neighborhood cars. we'll tell you what happened. but first, tvs, they are not just tvs anymore. up next, the latest technology now on display at this year's

consumer electronic's show.

a positive sign in the housing mark. realty trac reports that foreclosures fell to the lowest level since 2007. according to the online

marketer, filings were down 34% last year. although it sounds like good news, it was due to some of the delays in the paperwork. some gadgets being unveiled in this year's largest electronic show. the biggest draw is always the television and this year is no exception. >> reporter: a television you can talk to. samsung's new tv are controlled by voice, physical gestures, and facial recognition. >> you could surf the web by moving your hand around. >> reporter: tvs always seem to hold the most interest. previous shows focused on 3d technology, but the needs of those glasses and a lack of the 3d contents have not swayed the consumers. now the buzz is that apple will finally be released to television. steve jobs told his biography, "i would like to create an integrated television set that

is completely easy to use. it would have to have the simplest easiest user face. i cracked it." >> when they get in the game, you know they will be the most competitive ones. that's a competitor you don't welcome. >> reporter: they plan to pack plenty of new features into their sets. hg, for instance, they have an internet connected app that will feature high-quality video games played without a console. they don't want to be caught flat footed like them. they dominated the cell phone industry until apple jumped in. >> had and once apple comes out with something, we'll take a look at it. and we'll decide what we think of it. >> reporter: the latest televisions are impressive. the question is whether or not the consumers will finally be ready to upgrade or wait to see what comes from the giant in cupertino.

now, tech experts say the latest tvs are incredibly thin with amazing picture and resolution. they also require less power than those previous models. derek? i think that there is one with your name on it. >> yes. i'm ready to upgrade already. mitt romney continues to slam president obama while romney's gop rivals try to slow him down. >> why some republicans believe that the attacks on romney are dividing the party and playing right into president obama's hands. and still ahead, a phone rings right at the climax during the performance of the orchestra. so what would you do? well, we'll tell you what the conductor did. that's coming right up. the entry school might be the only one in fairfax county where there are no designated walkers. everyone is bussed. i'm peggy fox. coming up, i'll show you what parents are doing to change that.

ahh... so much better than last year. [ both screaming ] throw the food out the window! throw the food out the window! [ growling ] never again. everyone deserves a great vacation at a great price. get on board a carnival cruise and get more fun for all.

if you live a block away from your child's school, you probably expect them to walk to school? >> yeah. that is the one elementary school that has been considered unwalkable. they are assigned a bus, even though they may live close by. >> but as they report, they are now pushing to make their school walkable again. nothing wrong with being bussed to school. it just doesn't seem right. >> no matter how close you are, they will try to push you on the bus. it's a commuter route to

washington. many people don't stop at the crosswalk. parents say there is rarely a police enforcement. >> we live just a quarter mile up here. if we have a sidewalk that came down the road, it would be easy for the kids right here to walk to school. but instead, you know, they are bussed. >> reporter: and several parents like these, they walk their kids to school. and the system doesn't permit them to walk by themselves here, nor will they be safe. we are all trying to build communities that you could be reasonable within 100 yards of the school here to walk. >> reporter: now, since they are not used to stopping at crosswalks, you really need a crossing guard before and after school. now, other schools around here, they have them. and in fact, they used to have a crossing guard. to justify the expense of the crossing guard, you need to have a certain of elias abuelazam vents. f >> and i think that there are some things you could do. you know, probably not be able to do everything that i would like. but we could make the improvements. >> reporter: they say that the sidewalks right in front of the school could be done, but down the road, it will be difficult.

it is a state owned road. where this are no curbs, vdot requires sidewalks to be ten feet back. getting easements from property owners that would be -- that won't be easy. they will get them to install a light or a speed light. in mcclain, peggy fox, 9news now. >> and that will be with the supervisor and the fairfax county police to talk about the safer roads for the schools. by the way, well, that is one of seven schools in fairfax county that have no designated walkers. you can find that list here in our story on our website, wusa9.com. anita? >> well, for the fourth year in a row, the education week ranked maryland as public schools number one as far as the public school systems in the nation. today, he was the keynote speaker at the publications quality counts 2010 event. >> reporter: from the early states of our administration, job creation have topped our agenda among the priorities,

the investment priorities that we must make and protect. overall they got that there for them and their college prep. and they will get a b average and d.c. public schools had a c minus average. today, after unveiling the construction school program, they turn their attention to the affordable housing in the state. and that will be a $15 million program to build the rental housing units for them. they will support more than 1,100 jobs. republican presidential hopefuls are battling for the south and upcoming primaries in south carolina and florida. that will determine whether any of the candidates could truly challenge the front runner mitt romney. we've got more for you. >> reporter: hundreds of

supporters, they greeted mitt romney with cheers in west palm beach, florida. he's the favorite to win the primary next week. he wants to carry that momentum into florida's primary ten days later. >> we'll the inc -- we'll see the change. i believe that it will be mitt romney. >> reporter: with two victories that have been behind him, he's focusing his attacks on president obama. but as the gop rivals are targeting him. >> i like being able to fire people here to provide services to me. >> reporter: and newt gingrich's campaign, highlights the verbal mishaps. he told his supporters that the moments, they should cost him the nominations. >> when you have the candidates, who will talk about, you know, the enjoyment in firing people. not all the talk is negative, he appeared on the steps of the state capitol to present himself as the candidate solving the housing crisis.

you too could be the citizen of america. >> reporter: they will have one more chance to face off in a debate on monday. cbs news. newt gingrich is attending the campaign fundraiser today, but ron paul had no scheduled appearances. caught on tape, the attack on the homeowner here in texas. the secameras captured the confrontation right near forth worth. the home own r -- the homeowner caught him trying to break into cars. the two exchanged a few punches. when you can't get into the house here, well, he ends up throwing a flower pot at the front door. police from texas, they are still looking for this man. still ahead tonight, a new therapy that is developed right in our area, giving people e hope with a life-altering nerve disorder. but first, see how some budding computer programmers are connecting with the international space station and out of this world report. that's coming your way next. don't forget, we are always on wusa9.com. stay with us, we'll be right

back.

they caught up with the programming class to show us how their work made it on to the international space station. >> we never thought that they could be doing something like that. >> reporter: it started just as a contest. and soon, it went beyond that. way beyond it. we'll be moving the set positions here for them. >> reporter: the students from the high school, they may look like they are playing a video game, but they are working on something much bigger. writing a computer code that will control a satellite here in outer space. >> to be able to work on the real live, you know, satellite, well, who gets to do that, you know? it's crazy.

they played 4th in the world as the contest. and they wrote that programming notice for them and then their work is deemed to the international space station. the proportion of the blue spear he is floating right there. that's programmed by the other school. >> we have involved the physics, the calculus that they have learned and computer science, pulling it all together. >> and did their ever. now, they will be able to see if they will win the whole thing. taking the strip later on. their mentor, retired, nasa astronauts. he knows a little bit about the satellite. preparing the telescope. >> we'll see that in real time. the video cast here with the

students at m.i.t. >> reporter: the most valuable lesson with these students, learning the system engineering, which is breaking down the test in a small part, and then having them come together to create one solution. >> very often they will graduate from college and they never worked on the complex problem, involving lots of different angles. the students have done that and pretty successfully. >> reporter: pretty cool, huh? and they are programming the satellite out of space. >> wow. >> it is just like a little chocolate. >> we want to wish them all the best of luck in this big competition. >> yes. >> he was just named the associate administrator for them. >> not bad. >> and that will be a cool school. e mill -- e-mail us. at wusa9.com. so you're in a quiet theater, you're watching a performance when someone's phone goes off and that could

be pretty obnoxious, right? or embarrassing. excuse me, sorry. sorry. i'm surae chinn, i'll have that story coming up. i'm meteorologist topper shutt, we're live at the museum. we'll talk about the big announcement and when the arctic air will roll in. up next, the hospital where the celebrity power couple who lives with their child weighs in on claims they bullied other parents. we'll have the real deal for you next.

new -- new information about the claims that jay-z took over the new york hospital when their little girl was born. some other parents came forward just days after the little girl was born, claiming that the security group kept them from seeing their own children inside the maternity award. but today, officials from the hospital say that it is just not so and the two complaints

they received have been dismissed. leslie? >> oh, the problems here that they have spent reportedly about $1.5 million on toys for baby blue ivy. we wondered if this power couple has a power stroller in the house. because parents, they are buzzing over the four moms oragami which opens and closes with the touch of the button. that's not it. this computer on wheels has running lights that recline, charges while you walk. it's got an lcd dash board, and more, of course, there is a price for all this convenience. $850. anita? >> a lot nicer than the stroller we used. okay, thank you. right now, the newsroom is pretty quiet. as you can imagine, it will be real loud in here. bringing phones, loud conversations, you name it. but there are places that you really should not hear as the cell phones go off, right? >> reporter: that's right. earlier this week, a cell phone went off during the performance where the conductor stopped the orchestra and said hey to the offender, are you finished? well, i think we can all relate

about these disruptions, either being in the audience or the offenders themselves. it could be disruptive. and they started on out here, they started serving when the components cell phones rang. >> wow, i have never seen that before. >> reporter: the offender went on to lose the match. >> okay, wait. >> can you get off your phone? >> reporter: that is the american idol, runner-up. now, you think that we would have learned our lesson by now. >> reporter: all of a sudden it went off of that. oh my gosh, that's mine. >> that is a place of prayer. it just went off. >> at best we forget and at worst, you know, it's just, well, inconsiderate.

>> reporter: after he will be starring up in the production, red, at the arena stage next week. >> and almost like the rectangles. >> reporter: recently in the same production at the goodman theater in chicago. >> the great question, if you think that she is a fraud. >> reporter: and he is at a great moment in the play. my next line is answer me. >> i mean, the timing of it. >> it is always the most horrible moments. the worst is when they refuse to turn off the phone. >> the phone rang 17 times. >> reporter: that time he was directing the great tragedy. >> so i finally started climbing over the chair to get them to turn off their chill phones.

you can see them looking up and down. and i'm sorry. that will be just a matter of time. all right, you might want to add the first lady, michelle obama to the list, venturing to the twitter first. a feed in her name, it went live this morning and we are told that, you know, actually, it's been managed by the re- election campaign. but any tweets from the first lady her will be signed m.o. i guess that means michelle obama. within one hour she had 20,000 followers. she was up to more than 160,000, which is slightly more than any of us, top? >> i don't know. topper is probably coming close. he's a big tweeter. >> i am a big tweeter. >> reporter: yes, someone called me a twit, but i'm a big tweeter, you're correct. i'll tell you what, it's fantastic outside.

temperatures are still in the mid-50s. it is mid-january. again, don't let it fool you. because big changes are on the the way. we are live at the museum. we're going to come back at 6:00 with a big announcement as to why we're here. we're going to be partnering up with the news station, debuting next week. it is gorgeous outside and temperatures are in the 50s. now, the 57 in college park, 53 in bethesda. essentially in the low to mid- 50s out in leesburg. down to the south, 54 in springfield. 54 in andrews. here's the deal. we are looking at a pretty strong cold front that will roll on through with breaks in the clouds today and they are coming back tonight. showers will hold off until late. if you want to walk around and enjoy this night.

now, showers of west virginia, they will get in here and as the cold air moves in, you could turn to the snow showers by dawn tomorrow. no showers here. you can get up early. you might see the snow showers. then tonight, increasing cloudiness, changing to snow by dawn. believe it or not, we'll get to the 30s tonight. winds are south southwest, rather gusty. by morning, we're looking at a flurry or two that will be possible. various cloudiness. temperatures in the 30s, dress for the 20s because of the windchills. the winds are west southwest, keeping windchills in the 20s all day. by the afternoon, variable clouds, which means some sun, clouds, maybe a flurry, but much colder. high temperatures, 35 to 40. temperatures are essentially not going up at all tomorrow. now, in terms of winds, we do have, well, strong winds in the metro area. we're not under the advisory, but there will be a wind advisory to the west, with the gusts up to 50 miles per hour. particularly from cumberland west across the divide here and you'll get across the divide.

and also there are winter weather advisories there as well. we'll go right to your seven day. we're looking at a cold holiday weekend. the high temperatures on friday in the 30s. really not going up at all. cold weekend. 38 tomorrow, temperatures are falling in the mid-30s on friday and saturday. maybe a flurry or snow shower on sunday. nicer for martin luther king day and then back into the 50s on wednesday and thursday and really, still a pretty quiet january. back to you. >> nothing to be mad about there, top. thank you very much. >> that's what you say.
