plus, tonight's edition of "need to know" examines the rising sea levels and sinking land in a city on the atlantic coast. here's an excerpt. >> north of virginia is a historic coastal city nestled on the chesapeake basically it's got beautiful old homes, a world-class art museum and miles of water front property. but the city another distinction it would rather not have. according to the federal government, norfolk is also one of the city's most at risk from sea level rise. what used to be occasional floods now happen a lot more often. it used to take big storms to shut down parts of the city. now just some rain and a seasonal high tide can turn neighborhood streets into canals. >> flooding has, i mean its with a phenomena that occurred with big storms, not on a daily basis, not just when high tides came, not just when full moons got here. and now we have water seeping not city. into our streets nearly monthly. >> so the problem is getting worse. >> there's no question that the problem is getting worse. >> reporter: rise >> holman: "rising tide" airs tonight on most pbs stations. all

the concern is if warming occurs and the sea levels rise, there will be a lot less after view because lot of places will be under water over the next 70, 80 years. your children, your grandchildren, great grandchildren may not have the view. your louisiana may be gone. >> i know. we keep hearing about that one. >> here's your bus stop forecast this morning. the rain is gone. that is pulling away from us except for a couple spots south and west. here in the metro we're going to see clearing skies quickly with 46 to 56. i'll fix that typo when i wake up. day planner today, we've got 49 degrees at 8:00. by noon sunny, 55. in fact, sunshine pretty quickly returns. you'll notice the winds out of the north 10 to 20, gusting to 25. another breezy, spring day out there. 60 degrees by 4:00 with highs in the low 60s. but with the breeze out there it's clearly going to abday for the jackets. at 8:00 we're back in the upper 50s. winds a lot lighter tonight. that means 30s in the suburbs and maybe some patchy frost as well. this morning the rain over the last couple of hours sinking south of us. b

also, sea level rise was analyzed and mentioned as a possible factor is that were to occur. the parking at the ferry building, which is an area of contention, which i will deal with later and the nature of that and why it is being argued is not a ceqa issue. parking in general is a ceqa issue. it was completely analyzed, but the fact that the ferry building ownership no longer would have the right to the parking as revenue from the parking at 351 see what 351 is not a ceqa issue. that is not -- and also, there is no intensification of use by the project's, changes that have occurred between comments and responses and the present, so therefore, unless there is an intensification of use that would have to be realized. in fact, the use is less because the project has become smaller. there have been fewer parking spaces, fewer residential units. in that case, that is not something that has to be looked at again. i think the analysis of america's cup impact are adequate. it is a moving target, and unfortunately, the impacts are becoming less from unfortunate developments that hav

they say more than 470 square miles of virginia is vulnerable to a two foot rise in sea level. >>> more and more americans are avoiding doctors to avoid the growing cost of health care. a study published in the "new york times" says americans are going to the doctor less and cutting back on prescriptions. researchers found the number of prescriptions dropped 1.1% last year and doctor visits fell 4.7%. trips to the emergency room though buck that trend. the study found americans went to the er 7.4% more last year. the author subjects that increase is -- suggests that increase is linked to the people losing health insurance. >>> as the number of children with autism rises in the united states so does the number of autistic adults who need help. >> many of them end up in group homes but as ines ferre reports the wait list for those homes are growing. >> reporter: michael is preparing breakfast at this group home. >> it feels happy to be with me friends. >> reporter: the 49-year-old lives with six other autistic adults. they all have responsibility like preparing meals and cleaning up. >> w

we're at about 13,000 feet above sea level, and every minute here, you're at the mercy of the elements. we've already been told which way to run if there's an avalanche. there was an area of a square kilometer. the search operation has been going on since then day and night. heavy machinery is trying to shift the snow and ice, trying to see if there's survivors underneath. there's also digging by hand. but experts believe there's now little or no chance of finding any survivors. the pakistan army has spoken of praying for a miracle. experts believe that's probably what it will take. but commanders say the motivation of troops involved in this rescue effort is extremely high. they're looking for their comrades, for their brothers in arms. now, there's a risk of avalanche two or three times a day. the search has to be stopped. rescuers have also been battling ex-stream cold and blizzards. the tragedy here has renewed debate in pakistan about whether or not the troops should even be here. they've been here since 1984. in that time, this area has been a graveyard for 3,000 pakistani troops
