we will keep an eye on this storm passing south of us that they try to get some cirrus clouds to appear. a huge temperatures spread. 44 at the inner harbor. and much cooler night in the outlying suburbs. that is the storm to the south, kind of ominous looking. this does not appear to be taking the turn up the coast. it will stay farther south and to move out to sea. it will allow high pressure to the north to dominate the weather pattern. up towards wilmington, north carolina at, rather than producing a little bit of clout it is just to the south, it keeps the storm much further south. we look at dry conditions of across baltimore and the mid- atlantic and saturday morning. slicing south of chicago, that will reach baltimore and come -- bring an end to the late winter early spring weather. 64-69 with light when that 5-10. mid upper 60's around the bay except for right on the shore where it will be chillier. down in ocean city, we will have another strong sea breeze that keeps temperature is right around 60. there is another chance to see some of the high-level cloud cover. waves are run

last point, there are lots of bills as cirrus is before congress the house has a bill and now the senate has a series of bills and i believe there will be financial reform this year. there are lots of things we can say about this but i think probably from my mind if you highest priority is where there have been the biggest gaps in the first area is financial derivatives. in 1999 and in 2000 there was expressed decision by the administration and congress to exempt all of these basically from the commodities and the sec. this turned out to be a very bad decision in 1999 there were about $1 trillion in credit to be felt swaps. by 2006 there were 60 trillion this is essentially not regulated. this needs to be supervised. you can debate, clearly letting that sort of the market develop unsupervised was too much. hedge funds again very aggressive, very huge increase in assets essentially unregulated. global insurers as we saw from aig you have four or five large insurers in the u.s. the are regulated by 50 states. there is no federal regulator. very hard to come to grips with those and systemic
