so make it for cycling for everybody and get rid of all of the relics of john forester and the vehicular bicyclists or those who want to travel or who are advocate of the speed cyclists but realize in the netherlands the average piece of cycling is 12 miles an hour. that's enough because already you're faster than the cars and it makes cycling at reach for everybody. and that's one thing that is important, realize that it's not actual safety but perceived safety what makes people cycle. if people feel safe, and i can guarantee you that a lot of people will not feel safe on a bicycle lane where they could easily get doored or if they are just a little less bit concentrated or make strange movements, they will be in the car traffic and they will be run over. so think about that it will be a lot better idea to remove the parked cars away from the sidewalk and have your bicycle path then between the parked cars and the pavement. i guarantee you that's all people who are latent cyclists will feel much safer. can have the children also on these poik paths where i can guarantee you a lot of par

john: we're back outside my studio. peter claims that his fire retardant, u.s. foreston my skin i can stick my hand in here and i won't be hurt? >> correct. >> john: so what do i do. i dip my hand? >> yeah. >> scoop it out make your fingers tight together. >> my hand is not catching fire. creepy, but you have a superior product but the u.s. forest service doesn't use it. >> you would think they would use the best products to fight fires but what you think you know is often not so. i have learned that repeatedly in my 40 years reporting. i found what i thought i knew isn't true. and for years the experts said we are running out of oil but no we're not. people told me premium gas is better for your car. that makes sense because it costs more but it's not better. you are wasting your money unless you have a very unusual car. everyone knows cousins can't legally get married. cousins can legally marry in half of the states. women are bad drivers but where is the evidence? we men pay higher insurance rates because we are much more likely to crash. one more myth. do we have a

john in virginia. i've lived in the same neighborhood almost 25 years in a 100-year-old oak forest, huge 100-foot eye oakfar as the eye can see and from time to time they do fall down. i can count the power outages on one hand. we have underground utilities. perhaps pepco should stop spending time cutting trees and learn about what it costs to put the wires underground. >> john, of time this comes up pepco and a few others say -- every time this comes up pepco and a few others say it would be terribly expensive and create problems of it's own, but after what we've been going through, i'm almost to the point of saying let's pay the money and take our chances, certainly can't be much worse than what we've got now. maybe you've got your own answers. share them with me at mailbag@wusa9.com. that is it for our report. i'll be back here at 11:00 with anita brikman and anny hong. have a great evening. bye bye. >>> now, "entertainment tonight," the most-watched entertainment newsmagazine in the world. >>> katie out with suri in new york. the new photos today. tom back in l.a. when was the last time he saw his da

intersections like connecticut avenue and randolph, cabin john parkway and macarthur boulevard, democracy road and old georgetown road and forest glen and georgia avenue and in the county as well, 105 road segments continue to be closed because of utility lines down. again, it is still a very tricky situation out here and it will drag on unfortunately for a little bit longer. back to you. >> all right. dominion virginia is getting help from outside the area. about 200 hydro one workers from quebec, canada arrived in fort myer last night. currently more than 137,000 dominion virginia power customers are still in the dark. a majority of those outages are in northern virginia. crews from 15 other u.s. states are also helping with power restoration efforts. now, make sure you stay tuned to fox 5 morning news. head today, we're going out in the field with a crew from dominion virginia. holly morris will head out with them as they attempt to turn on the lights for people in springfield to give us a firsthand look at exactly what it is like to take on such a massive job. >>> new video into our newsroom this morning. water spilling fro

john ramose has the story on why residents feel that their way of life could be threatened. >> you are looking at basically an urban forest in the middle of a residential neighborhood. >> people living in this neighborhood in fremont look out on 12 a. of undeveloped land and enjoy the open field and the wildlife that is attracted to the area but the sign leaves no doubt that this is private property. the question now is, how much say should neighbors have about what happens to this parcel? >> when they purchased it they knew what it was, and we're saying that it should stay the way that they purchased it. >> the land was zoned as private open space but the owner wants to change that to build 18 homes here, it is a battle that has raged on at city hall for more than one year and the fact that the land's owner also chairs the city's economic advisory commission makes the neighbors doubt that they are getting a fair shake from city hall. >> is this about undue influence on the council? >> it could be seen that way. >> so these activists have taken a new approach, they have qualified a measure on the november ballot to prohib

forest and range lands. the cause by insect infestation, john, and other factors.his is a serious set to america's public lands, communities on an adjacent to those lands in the infrastructure. as retirees we clearly feel that action is needed, action that is rapid, efficient, collaborative, and which pushes the envelope in terms of procedures and authorities. we all know that increasing budgets is not a fix, and we also accept the potential for budgets to be decreasing. in the legislative approach there has to be a focus on public-private partnerships, reduced process, and much greater recognition of this crisis. we think that's h.r. 6089 supports this approach. i do want to announce the excellent work of the agency so far in addressing this, the forest service approached with bark peels strategy, collaborative forest land restoration program and group -- use of the innovative restoration but the pilot should go a long way toward increasing a compliment. the forest service and blm joint work in the use of storage of contacting, the release of the national cohesive

but this week on his show, john stossel sets out to separate fact from fiction and his first involves the national forestrest fires. there's a new fire retardant that i tried it, it's supposed to be better. 200 fire departments use it. number of states use it. the forest service is reluctant to try it. here i dip my arm. it works better, they can spray it on the fires. >> steve: and? n they won't do. they say, we don't know that this will work. gets too close to the fire. one of the myths we'll cover. >> steve: shouldn't everybody be using it if it's a miracle product? >> i don't presume to know all the science and all the reasoning behind it. but when 200 fire departments and many states have started to use it, how come our government is so slow? >> steve: no kidding. here is another -- perhaps it's a myth. you'll hear all the time, we're running out of oil. we need to have more chevy volts, stuff like that. >> jimmy carter in 1977 said, within ten years, we'll be out. it's 40 years later, human brains are inventive. we find new ways to get oil. >> steve: so? there is plenty? >> there is plenty of myths
