three dead birds in santa clara have tested positive for west nile virus. >> and standing water is alwaysne of the concerns they have. let's turn things over to jeff ranieri. >>> this is just some spotty activity that pale in comparison to this past weekend. if you're traveling in the north bay highway 101 we are encountering shower activity from petaluma and you'll see up across the higher elevations squeezing out a bit more moisture but nothing major to be concerned about. take it extra slow, activity offshore but it's having a hard time keeping together so we don't anticipate the peninsula and it's also going to be a tough go tonight to get any kind of range so we can't rule that out for the next hours. that cold front is near the temperatures are dropping the most still holding on to 71 in santa cruz and 66 in gilroy. out ahead of the front we had warm air making it humid. out to sky camera network. we're not expecting a whole lot in the way of rainfall and most notably back behind the frontal system the air will be dropping quite a bit so let's get a look at the storm that is centere

niles paul is preparing for a possible move to tight end.hile the nationals took 3 of 4 from the astros tonight. the marlins in town. things were going amazingly well for the nationals until last night. edwin jackson did not have a resume type game. top of the first down 1-0. brian send one to right center field. take a weird squirt away from jayson werth. a play at the plate. wilson ramos can't hold on so it's 3-0, astros. jackson goes five innings and gives up five runs. top of the sixth now, no relief at all. a bases loaded double to center. two more runs come in to score. two innings of work. he gives up eight hits and six runs. the nationals fall, 11-4. how important is this next series with the marlins? >> i look at the series as key. when it's early in the year or late in the year you know it's all about how you match up. i think we match up with just about anybody. but the proof is in the pudding. they've got good pitching, a good bull pen. you know, probably a little more pop. in some of their hitters than we do. but we're very simi

i wonder if that's the same for adults -- west nile and issues -- >> the weather keeps -- we're fluctuatingough. today it will be warm. tomorrow, much cooler. >> much cooler. and in addition, we've got gusty winds and very dry conditions. so the fire danger is increased, as well, for today. we've had some scattered wildfires the last couple of days. and out in the agricultural reserve of northern montgomery county, this is what it looked like at dawn yesterday. i was out and took this picture. and the spring crops are up despite the dry conditions. and a lot of the trees there are leafing up quickly now. we're greening up quickly. that was taken at about 7:00 yesterday morning. and right now around our region, it's near 50 degrees. in northern montgomery county and in far western fairfax county, closer to washington, low to mid 50s. southern montgomery county, arlington, eastern fairfax, much of prince george's county and the rest of southern maryland, charles, st. mary's, anne arundel, calvert counties, mid 50s. weather watchers checking in around the blue ridge, shenandoah valley, mid to

it said the emergency affects e provinces: south kordofan, white nile, and sinnar. police there will have expanded powers of arrest. south sudan sent troops into part of the border region earlier this month in a dispute over rights to oil wealth. wall street hesitated today over new concerns about recession in europe and a consumer spending slowdown in the u.s. the dow jones industrial average lost 14 points to close at 13,213. the nasdaq fell nearly 23 points to close at 3046. the building that's due to replace the twin towers in new york city reached a new high today. workers erected steel columns on top of the unfinished structure at one world trade center. that made it just over 1,250 feet tall, enough to claim the title of new york's tallest skyscraper. construction will continue for at least another year. when it's finished, the new building, dubbed "freedom tower," will likely be declared the tallest in the country. those are some of the day's major stories. now, back to jeff. weigh turn the a side of the tech revolution that don't get much attention, how muc

particularly like, um, in marc anthony or julius caesar, there's a great description of cleopatra on the nile. shakespeare took the english translation of plutar and rewrote it in blank verse and put it -- and it's one of the great scenes in anthony and cleopatra. now, if he did that today, you know, modern author, you know, we have this endless copyright rules getting stretched out, 75 years now. say, no, you have to get plutar's permission because, you know, it's true you improved it, you put in a blank verse, you changed some things, but, you know, basically there's so much overlap that, i'm sorry, you've got to get his permission. so then plutar says, well, you know, you're a very successful playright, i'm just a historian, an obscure greek historian, so i'm going to have to charge you for this. [laughter] so it's, it's a tremendous bonanza for lawyerses and so on. so i'm skeptical. and i particularly emphasize the fact that all, all creative writing, all academic writing, all builds on prior stuff. the more you know about literature, the more you know about an academic field the more you

went through this with dan niles earlier today and when commodity prices are coming down, in front of a new product cycle as we are with windows 8, don't buy it because demand is not going to be there, so treat them as commodities, and commodity stocks should sell at eight to ten times earnings. >> doc, do you have a comment on sandisk in general for the story going forward, or does the cutting of its guidance change that story now? >> well, i mean, i think the cutting of the guidance justifies where the stock is now then. i think, judge, you'll get a chance to pick it up around 40, so i think it -- >> you're killing me, john, you're killing me. >> i don't know that it goes there right away, and, in fact, i've sold a lot of 43 puts here today in sandisk so i'm obviously betting it doesn't go a lot below 40, but i think that this is a story that will continue to be positive as the rest of the demand cycle picks up. just too much extra, and they are working through the inventory now. >> let's look at the next trade, jobless claims falling to a four-year low but the next jobs report come

became the world's newest nation, and our dim phroepl macy continues, because in darfur and the blue nilehe killing of innocents must come to an end. the presidents of sudan and south sudan must have the courage to negotiate, because the people of sudan and south sudan deserve peace. that is work we have done, and it has saved lives. when the incumbent lost an election but refused to give up power, he threatened to unleashed untold ethnic and religious killings. but with regional and international dephroepl mays see, and u.n. peacekeepers who stood their ground and protected civilian, the former leader is now in the hague, and the country is governed by its rightful leader and lives were saved. when the libyan people demanded their rights, and moammar qaddafi's forces bore down on be bengazi and threatened to hunt down its people like rather, we forged with allies and partners a coalition that strapped his troops in their traction, antracks, and today the libyan people are forging their own future and the world can take pride in the innocent lives we saved. when the lord's resistant army
