happened since the fire continues to be an open wound for lucas. >> i needed help from wherever it could come. i needed everything. i stood in need of everything because i had lost everything and i said i don't want the city to just level my house to the ground and pitch some grass seed and let mrs. lucas go off into the sunset. >> in the days following the fire, the city relocated lucas and her family to a hotel. there for a week and while she was gone, the city sent her a code violation notice saying she needed to secure the shell of the home and have it razed. lucas, retired, on a fixed income, didn't have homeowner's so she couldn't pay for the demolition herself so she asked the city to give her some time to find someone who would help her. before she found the help, she drove by her property and saw the house being demolished and lucas gets this bill for more than $7,200 for the demolition, money she didn't have, then a lien was placed on the property she paid $10,000 for in 1969. the lien was for nearly $80,000. >> $80,000 -- $8,000. >> it took me a 30-year mortgage of working to pay that off and when my house was demolished and i received a bill for almost that same amount, it would take me a lifetime to come up with that. it's heartless, it's ruthless. >> the city is not sympathetic to her plight. >> the city's first responsibility is for public safety. that was an emergency demolition as a result of the fire so the building had to come down for community safety. >> even though lucas was a victim of arson, the city says there's not much they could do. >> it's unfortunate but this is where home ownership insurance comes into play. >> an anonymous donor came forward and paid the tax lien after lucas got this tax sale notice for her property. >> i've been paying taxes, not only property taxes, i'm paying taxes as a citizen, united states citizen, city, state and federal like everybody else. now i'm asking for help from what those services are supposed to provide. >> in the meantime, this sign is a reminder to those who drive by of what happened, it talks of a fire, offers forgiveness to those who set the fire, says she is homeless and thanks those who have helped her with donations what she wants more is to rebuild on the land and for the city to help. >> donations keep coming for her. >> someone sent me something for her yesterday. >> that's amazing and it was nice someone paid off her lien. that's great. >> stay with us. more coming up. >> i'm pete gilbert. a big day of college football across the state. we will check in with college

miamontlolo said his program would have difficulty beating a high school team, much less penn state. allen robinson, 45 yards, 14-0, nittany lions on top. fourth, put out a reach thanks to this, fumble by nate cokeland and mike hull emerges out of the pile with the pigskin and there he goes. 74 yards on the touchdown. penn state sinks navy 34-7. home opener for us ton -- towson hosting

wbal-tv 11 editorial with president and general manager dan joerres. >> there were tense moments at stemmers run middle school in baltimore county as an eighth grade student pulled a loaded gun on his teacher and classmates. for the second time in three weeks, a county school had an incident with a student bringing a gun to school. the 13-year-old student has been charged as a juvenile. the teacher is appreciated for restraining the student until authorities arrived. we expect our teachers to educate our children. but to step between a class of students and loaded gun is above and beyond the call of duty. school superintendent dr. dallas dance says he will establish a new office of safety and security and provide hand-held metal detectors to resource officers. that is about as much as a school system can do. the responsibility rests with parents and adults to obey the law and secure weapons so children don't have access to them. it's the law and a responsibility. >> your watching

this morning, two more troops killed in attacks overseas. nato said the man believed to be a member of the afghan local police turned his weapon on u.s.-led coalition forces, killing two international service members. >> officials say the gunman was killed. the attack comes on the same day as a maryland national guard unit returned home. george lettis has more on that part of the story. >> it's fantastic to be home with the family again. >> the more than 40 maryland national guardsmen and women honored at a home coming honored at a homecoming saturday were assigned to the international security assistance force in afghanistan. they helped train the afghan army and police in the hopes they'll fight crime and the taliban on their own some day. the mission is a major piece of the plan to end u.s. combat operations there by the end of 2014. >> we would recover evidence and process crime scenes so the challenge was to train them. to make sure they do it the way we do it. we gave them the basics, we taught them. our job is to show them how to do it. and they have to learn how to do it. that was a tough challenge. >> the homecoming comes on the same day two nato troops were killed in southern afghanistan by one of the afghan police trainees. at least 47 troops have been killed in what are called insider attacks. >> it's an unfortunate side of the conflict that we deal with on a day-to-day basis. as a leader over there, i was confident we were led and prepared and trained but nothing can train you or help you prepare for something like that. >> these men and women spent a

wbal-tv 11 news. >> another attack in southern afghanistan left two u.s. marines dead. a spokesperson with the international security assistance forces confirm the attack at camp bastion on friday, the same base where prince harry is deployed. officials say he wasn't hurt. the taliban is claiming responsibility saying it was in response to an anti-muslim film produced here in the u.s. >> during

moore with that story. >> the waves of protests stoked by an anti-islamic movie showed signs of subsiding saturday in cairo, a relative calm, a striking contrast to the days of anti-american demonstrations that spread across north africa, the middle east and asia. for the u.s. government, the focus remains on the deadly attack during a protest at the u.s. consulate in libya on september 11. >> the question is, was this just a target of opportunity, or was this something with support and direction from the outside. >> a day after receiving the bodies of the four americans killed in the libya attack, president obama sent a signal to the world. >> those who attack our people will find no escape from justice. >> while the anti-american protests are cooling off -- >> he has coddled and appeased those who want to do us harm. >> -- the political rhetoric at home is as heated as ever. brian moore, wbal-tv 11 news. >> in southwest baltimore, a shooting has left one man in critical condition this morning. police were called to the 500 block of coventry road around 12:15 saturday afternoon where we are told the officers found the victim with several gunshot wounds. that suspect

pikesville on tuesday and katonsville on wednesday to help reduce human exposure to mosquitoes infected with west nile. state health officials say 10 people tested positive for west nile when they went to donate blood. >> if that test is positive, that donation is removed from the blood supply so it is not made available for transfusions or any other use of that blood. so the blood supply is considered well protected. >> 25 people have been infected with west nile in maryland. two have died. >> 7:08, 54 degrees at b.w.i. marshall. it can make it hard to breathe, inflame your lymph nodes.

chilly and westminster, 54 degrees. temperatures around the region, mid nifts our area over to the eastern shore and the jersey shore, as well, 55 degrees. in pittsburgh, 38 degrees, look out, 48 to the south of it in southwestern pennsylvania. chilly start to the morning for some folks. as far as our forecast, for today, 74 to 79 degrees, a dlulve -- delightful day under mostly cloudy skies. we could see clouds is because of a storm system moving through southern virginia and northern north carolina and because we are under the influence of high pressure over pennsylvania, that will keep this stuff to the south of us so nothing to worry about today. however, switching gears, we are watching a system in oklahoma and texas and out in the pacific northwest. these two systems will eventually converge together as into our area and unfortunately that means late monday and definitely into tuesday, and tuesday we could see significant rains as these systems make their way through and behind that, some cooler and continued comfortable area. so not that. we have to deal with the rain and then we will get good weather behind it. future cast shows cloud cover throughout the day clearing up into the evening hours. into monday, clouds continue to build. into tuesday, precipitation moving in with systems and we are keeping an eye on this well defined front, according to future cast. the longest front, we could see a couple of pops of thunder and lightning so we'll keep an eye on severe weather associated with this. could be an interesting look heading into the evening hours on tuesday, associated with that front. your forecast tonight looks good. 55 to 62 degrees under partly cloudy skies. cool conditions, nice, almost fall night, winds out of the west at five miles per hour. if you're heading to the ravens game in pennsylvania at lincoln financial field, kickoff at 1:00 p.m. they'll have the same weather we are -- 72 to 76 degrees and light winds out of the west and

non-small cell lung cancer and found that over a third of married patients were alive after three years compared to 10% of single patients. researchers say having a strong support system appears to

sarcoidosis which affects one in every 2,000 americans. joined by the founder and president of life and breath foundation, and dr. david muller. doctor, tell us about sarcoidosis. >> sarcoidosis is a disease that causes inflammation, where the white cells in the body, the cells that fight infection, clump together in microscopic nodules called granulomas and in different people the inflammation develops in different parts of the body. 90% of the time it involves the lungs but it can affect any part of the body such as the heart or the brain, the eyes, the skin. so depending on where the inflammation develops, people can present with different problems. >> and, sean, you know this firsthand, your mom battled this for 13 years? >> correct. we didn't know she had it, we didn't discover she had it until she passed away in 1996 so i went to john's hopkins to learn more information about the disease and formed the life and breath foundation in 1998. >> for 14 years that's gone in place and you've had major success getting more people learning about the disease. you have a fundraiser coming up? >> yes, the fest vus is in its fourth year, partner with this four seasons hotels as well

championship members that will join us along with community leaders. >> interesting information this disease, it affects african-americans two to five times more than caucasions. doctor, why is that? >> we don't understand all of the reasons. some of it is related to genetics and some may be related to environment. it has a different frequency and different people, ethnic and racial people throughout the world but it is more common in the united states in african-americans. >> and then watching your mom go you know the struggle that was. you want people to be aware. how can they get involved? >> i'd like for everyone to visit life and breath's foundation website. lifeandbreath.org, set up to help raise money for john's hopkins to continue research efforts and get awareness out. >> and go to that event next saturday, flip-flop festivus. how to keep your energy up when you hit the afternoon slump at work. that's when we return. >> if you're like many people, the 3:00 p.m. time in the afternoon is one of the most challenging of the day. you're at your desk at work and slump hits. how do you beat it? shop rite dietitian aaron paceac is here with suggestions for keeping your engine running all day. what happens at 3:00? >> i think there are three different scenarios for people, the reason for the mid afternoon slump. one of them can be from hunger. one is probably because the person's living a high-stress life, not getting enough sleep, they have bad carbohydrate cravings and the last one is the person that out of habit reaches for a snack around 3:00 p.m. we will talk about all three ways and how to avoid the pitfalls. the first is maybe the person who, they eat a light breakfast, maybe just doing a granola bar and veggie sadly with protein, not really getting carbohydrates in, any good fiber. and by the time 3:00 p.m. hits, they're starving. they didn't eat enough calories. i did a makeover of their meals, i boosted the meals, made them around 400 calories or so, added more protein, more fiber, things that can make them feel full and that way when 3:00 hits, they're probably not hungry. >> so don't just have oatmeal but have oatmeal with berries. >> berries, flax seed, almonds. if you're doing sadly, i put a whole grain, millet, avocado, pumpkin seeds for healthy sats that are -- fats that are more saviating. this is the person that doesn't get enough sleep and all day long they're craving food. the reason is hormonal. they have an increase in the hunger hormone and decrease in leptin, the hormone that makes you feel full. they have increases in cortisol, the stress hormone so they're very hungry all day long. these are good options, a mixture of carbs, protein and fat. you could do greek yogurt and banana, string cheese and popcorn, even dark chocolate with nuts. these are some of my favorite bars, the kaishi or lara bars and whole grain crackers with cottage cheese. >> can you keep some of these things at your desk so you're not going to the candy jar. >> yeah, put them in easily accessible places, a drawer, your car, your purse, the gym bag so you reach for the good stuff instead of the vending machine. this is the person at 3:00 that out of habit run to the vending machine. you want to create new habits, healthier habits. you can try drinking more water or tea, throw your sneakers in your bag, go for a quick 10-minute walk, bring a hand weight or exercise band and do exercises in the office so you're doing something productive at 3:00 p.m. rather than reaching for a snickers bar. >> let's say charlene does put nuts in there and healthy things in there, they just go quickly. thank you so much for coming, in aaron. >> thank you. >> 7:29, 55 degrees on tv hill. we have more news coming up. stay with us. >> you're watching wbal-tv 11, live, local, late breaking. this is 11 news sunday morning. >> welcome back to 11 news sunday morning. >> let's take another look outside with lowell. >> hey, lisa, talking about charlene's candy jar, getting me hungry there. >> pistachios for you. >> quick look at current conditions at b.w.i., 55 degrees, humidity coming down at 86%, winds out of the west-southwest at 3 miles per hour and the pressure is rising as high pressure dominates our area. keeps the weather good today but and tuesday doesn't look so good. we will tell you all about it in the insta-weather plus forecast up.ng >> time for a look at what's coming up next on "meet the press." we will join david gregory. lots of talk about violence overseas, anti-american protests, an attack on the embassy in libya. what are we hearing about the response and calls by the opposition for stronger action? >> his policy toward the middle east generally is under scrutiny right now. the first order of business is try to contain this anti-american rage that's spreading around the islamic world and more pointedly, hunt the killers of our ambassador there, chris stevens, and three others in our consulate in libya. there is a lot to contain and much of this races -- raises the question in the fall campaign, which is what is the policy, what is american leverage in the middle east and how do we sort out what is just about them and what they're going through, their leadership crisis, who they want to be, versus u.s. policy, but it's a very dangerous time in relations and then there's the tension over iran with israel right now so we will talk to the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu. >> the question is, is israel still our friend and vice versa? >> no question that they are and attempts to suggest otherwise simply don't represent all the facts between the two administrations, but there is tension there between what the british prime minister wants america to do and what america is prepared to do about iran right now. there is a shared goal to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon but it's now you get there and i think the israelis are increasingly concerned that this administration in their judgment is not willing to take a tougher stand and say hey, here's a line in the sand when the israelis appear ready to do so. >> the president, dealing with all of this as the election is less than two months away. how does candidate obama deal with this? >> candidate obama is president obama and i think that that's the upside and the downside. be scrutinized for your policy but you're also in a position to act and not just make arguments from the sideline which any candidate opposing incumbent presidents will do. this opens up an area of scrutiny about obama foreign policy, if are sure. >> don't forget to watch "meet the press" later this morning following 11 news at 9:00 a.m. baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake will be our q&a guest this morning. >> still ahead on 11 news, barks joins us with a pet looking for a home. >> elect governor romney and win a cruise? or help keep governor obama in office and he'll pay your utility bills. that's a few of the scams floating around. the b.b.b. has information about what to watch for. >> football weather in store while the ravens get out there and play in philadelphia. >> now, your 11 insta-weather plus forecast with meteorologist lowell melser. >> here's a wake-up look from the grand hotel and spa in ocean city. a nice day ahead out there on the boardwalk for folks getting a little bit of late summer, early fall look at the ocean. barometer is rising at the airport so high pressure is taking over and humidity is falling off a touch. light winds out of the west, 3 miles per hour. temperatures around the area, mid 50's to low 60's. annapolis around 60 degrees. frederick cool at 48. westminster 52 and parkton 51 on the eastern shore. 53 degrees in ocean city. the warmest spot on the map right now down in crisfield, 63 degrees. as far as your forecast today, 74 to 79 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, the key word, though, nice. pretty much mid to upper 70's for the channel 11 viewing area from southern maryland all the way up to southern pennsylvania and in the mountains, they'll be in the lower 70's but a very nice day under the influence of high pressure. here's the current weather right now, clouds associated with the system just to the south of us in southern virginia and northern north carolina and out in parts of kentucky and because of the high pressure that's sitting over pennsylvania right now, that's figure -- going to keep all the moisture to the south of us, giving us a delightful day. clouds and sun, temperatures in the mid 70's so a great day for football in philadelphia or the backyard if you're throwing around the ball during tail gates before and during the game. we have to watch these two systems, one in oklahoma and texas and the pacific northwest, those systems will move in and bring us a chance for quite a bit of rain into late monday, early tuesday. future cast shows clouds moving in and out today, clearing out this evening, into monday. clouds building once again and into the early morning and afternoon hours tuesday and into the evening, rain moves right in there and there's a front we are keeping a close eye on that could bring thunder and lightning before this is said and discontinue. if you're going to the game, it looks good at lincoln financial field. the kickoff, 1:00, mostly sunny, the same conditions we will have here, mid 70's under a lot of sun and the seven-day, 50% chance of rain into the evening hours on monday. tuesday looks like a washout and we could have a couple of spotty showers on wednesday. temperatures remain in the mid 70's and the weather looks good once the front moves through with mid 70's by the end of the week. >> a consumer alert for hundreds of millions of consumers using iphones and ipads. a it looks like a group of hackers may have cracked the udid code, the series of numbers and letters assigned differently to each phone. they've not only cracked the code but posted a million of those numbers online. experts say it's the key that could allow a hacker to track your phone, revealing where you are and where you've been and access to log-ons to your account without the need for a password. >> we will see people break into people's social media accounts, into apps, figure out where they've been and what they're doing. lot that will happen with these udid's, a great playground for hack stores experiment. >> apple says programmers are moving away from using udid numbers in apps but for those who were compromised. experts say the only solution may be to buy a new phone or new ipad. that's too bad. scammers are gearing up for this year's presidential election from robo calls offering a free cruise to promises that president obama will pay your utility bill. angie barnett from the better business bureau is here with advice for voters. good morning. >> good morning. >> he's going to pay my utility bill? >> the world is a scam. it's amazing. >> let's talk about some of these scenarios out there. the free cruise? >> election scams are upon us. free cruise. they'll call you on your phone at home, or cell phone, and ask you to take a public opinion poll. that's important because we are looking at these statistics. they'll lure you in by saying you'll win a free cruise. what they want, ultimately, they'll ask for your credit card because you have to pay port fees and certain taxes for it so they'll look for that credit card, debt card number. that's to rip you off. >> that's lovely. president obama is not going to pay your utility bills. >> yes, but a lot of marylanders have received emails, phone calls, solicitations and this really happened, in which president obama would give them a grant to cover utility bills. this spiked in the middle of the heat wave in the summer. people thought they were getting $1,000. what they want is your bank routing number, information, your driver's license. they'll say they'll deposit $1,000 in your account but their goal is to take your money out of your account. >> fund-raising calls for political donation that are not really. >> whether they're leaving messages or calling, asking you to donate to the campaign. a lot of people want to do that but if you do it through a solicittization from a random call, what they want is your credit card information under false pretenss of so doing. the other thing we are hearing, people are receiving calls about, are they registered to vote and they want you to give your social security number to verify you're registered number. >> don't ever give your social security number. >> ever, ever. >> if the government needs your social security number, they'll send you a letter. >> nobody's going to ask you for that information so don't give it but that's what marylanders are being hit with. >> some -- sometimes you're asked for that social security number when you're asked at health visits. >> school, doctors, you want to ask why they need it, what they're going to do with it because we know those are resources for major hacking because they're maybe the less secure of government agencies, et cetera. >> and companies losing documents and information. >> you have to be careful and don't give your cell phone number out, either. that's the piece right before showed you that your phone is becoming more and more vulnerable and we bank on it, shop on it. keep that number protected and put a password on your cell phone. >> i'm not going to give it to you. thanks, angie. stay with us, barks is next with a pet looking for a home. first, a look at the lottery numbers. anncr: a good job. it's the key to a good life. but it isn't always easy to find one... a vote for question seven is a vote for maryland jobs. two thousand construction jobs to build a new resort casino. four thousand permanent jobs, paying... on average fifty five thousand a year. six thousand jobs from increased tourism... and table games like blackjack and poker. add it up: it's twelve thousand new maryland jobs. but to build it you have to vote for it. vote for question seven. and get maryland
