we're told a small amount of radiation was detected. we're told it was not a big deal. not to worry. we were never in danger but questions have been raised why officials from the local emergency management agency were not notified about the radiation leak for five hours on saturday after an alarm sounded. about 150 employees were sent home from the plant. this went down saturday.

department. but, this abc2 news investigator brian kuebler explains tracking gun offenders now reaches beyond adults. >> reporter: law enforcement in baltimore thinks it has a b on one of the city's most lethal threats. this is the gun offender registry. the city's law enforcement community gathers every month at a meeting they call gun stat to track down gun offenders. it works like a sex offender registry. once a convicted gun offender is let out of prison they are forced to register with the city for three years. allowing police to track them. it is only the second one of its kind in the nation. this past summer it became even more unique as the city council passed a law to allow police to track juvenile gun offenders. >> a lot of young guys, though, all young guys. >> we were invited along with commissioner fred bealefeld as his gun offender registry unit made one of the first house checks on the registry's first group of juvenile offenders. we trailed the registry unit in some of the offender's homes. >> he has a gun conviction. what was that about? >> reporter: and most were not home but the commissioner hopes the message is just as loud and clear to their parents. >> every single one of these kids is important to us. >> is this on television? talking about my son? come on. >> would you rather me be in the house telling you and talking to about keeping your son alive or telling you he got shot and killed around the corner because right now this camera is the least of our worries. >> reporter: at this home the message resonates and the registry is invite back to talk with her son. >> how are you? doing all right? you don't shake hands? >> reporter: literally across the street an adult on this registry is not as accommodating. >> after we leave you can see we are the (bleep), cops being on your porch, and you will, you will spend time on that. so we can inform everybody in the city how serious we are about guns in this city. that's what it's about. >> excuse me. >> he's got to be hard. he can't be hugging up on the politician commissioner. i got all that. but his ears work. >> reporter: and police hope he hears that officers know who the offenders are and know where they live. a clear mark on the radar. >> the gun offender registry itself tries to knock on the doors at least once a month but realistically there's currently over 400 individuals in the adult and juvenile side. >> reporter: loot rob quick heads -- lieutenant rob quick heads the office of five officers. as every adult and juvenile offender is let out of prison. quick believes dividends have and will come. >> we get to interact with quite a few people. we recommended job opportunities. try to introduce them to other services they need. the overall resid visit rate is 20%. >> 20% reoffend. a good stat police say that is helping to build confidence in the new program and its juvenile component. the juvenile has five offenders on it now and it's too early to tell if it will work as well but police say they have no reason to think it won't. >> i do know this, though. it beats sitting sit and doing nothing. this is something very constructive and caps into a lot of different aspects of the mindset of criminals. >> reporter: tough talk coupled with a sincere audiology that the law enforcement in baltimore county hopes contributes to the 16% drop in overall juvenile crime. in baltimore, brian kuebler, abc2 news investigators. >> jhu nil and adult gun offenders are asked to check in every six months and if they don't they could go to prison for a year and pay a fine. while there are 100 on the list, another 500 are set to be added to the gun offender registry. there are no plans to expand the limit. coming up next, those in need need it more at this time of year. how one local organization needs our help now to stock the shelves. if you're looking to buy a condo you might want to wait. why getting a mortgage now might cost you a little later on.

really need your help. right? >> reporter: yeah, jamie. you can say it's the economy. people who used to have no problem putting food on the table now struggling. the maryland food bank needs all the help they can get. >> fruit, condiments, snacks. >> reporter: vivian watson comes to the maryland food bank every week with list of hand to pick up boxes of food for the hungry. i feel strongly we have to try and feed the people. that's my motto. let's feed the people. >> reporter: vivian works with her church to provide meals for those in need. it's her mission to stamp out hunger. >> if you come and tell me you're hungry we got to find something to feed you. >> reporter: the maryland food bank makes it possible for people like vaifan to help the hungry. they provide all kinds of food to partners who feed the needy. the warehouse is everything from canned veggies to cans of soup. >> our mission is to end hunger. we're really trying to lead a movement, get all marylanders behind the mission of ending hunger. >> reporter: but fulfilling that mistakes a lot of work. the food bank is always looking for help in the form of donations and volunteers to sort and pack the food. and the need is growing especially with the bad economy. >> we're in the middle of a storm that isn't going to go away right away. because of the recession and economy the people that we're seeing accessing food shelves these days are very different than the people that we saw a year ago or two years ago. they are people who just last year were middle class and able to write checks in support of the food bank. now they are going to food shelves to get assistance. >> reporter: that assistance can go a long way for people who have nowhere else to turn. >> the look and the gratitude we receive from the people who receive from us. i tell you, just warms your heart. it really does. sometimes it brings tears to your heart >> repoer: if you would like to donate to the maryland food bank you can go to the web site at mdfoodbank.org. they have something unique. where you can take part in a virtual food drive. choose from a list of items they need most. all you need to do is click to make a donation.

continue to try to develop and evolve across our region as we head through the latter part of the morning and into the afternoon. more down through southern maryland and just a nuisance type of situation today. with an area of low pressure sliding its way off the coast but trying to enhance itself a little. we get that east-to-northeasterly wind locking our temperatures in. if anything we

>> for one thing, indy is the only team in the league that hasn't allowed the to touchdown off the turnovers. second, it's expanded to sites we hadn't seen earlier in the year, all of a sudden it goes back to a time machine where we're set settling for field goal attempts. it's the only one billy missed. he had a lower percentage on the mike nugent, who had a higher field goal percentage. that was amazing. that was amazing. >> got to get that ball in. >> he didn't get the ball once in that stretch. >> why? >> i don't know. joe flacco tried it once, mcgahee twice. mclean had a few touches in previous weeks, in this case we relied on mcgahee to go between the tackles. the colts going down. eventually getting a touchdown. the field goal with seven minutes to go. if it had been the game-winning kick we would be hearing about the transaction but matt stover didn't win this game. the ravens eventually did lose it on their own mistakes. >> i -- the timeout that harbaugh called before the challenge play. we lost two timeouts in that one bash, right? >> that was amazing. he thought he could call a timeout and trade it in for a challenge. like he would redeem a coupon at the supermarket. he admitted he didn't quite know the procedures on that and it was a bad move on his part. he called the timeout to force the challenge. you lost the timeout, then the challenge. the last two timeouts were gone instantly and then there's the punt return. >> how do you feel about that play? >> ed reed, when he was a senior at the university of miami, one of his teammates intercepted a pass to win the game. ed reed runs down the field. this has been his mindset throughout his entire football career and part of the ravens mindset for many years. as we know when they get a interception, a fumble, punt, a kick return, scoop and score mentality. they would do anything to put points on the board but at that point in the game definitely not the right move. >> we're not moving in the standings. cincinnati loses. pittsburgh coming in, ben roethlisberger probably won't play because of the concussion. >> right. >> we had it golden yesterday. >> every team in the division lost. so the ravens really blew an opportunity to gain some ground. the two games with the steelers really loom large now when you consider pittsburgh. then jacksonville, houston, denver and san diego all in that wild card hunt. so the pittsburgh games become more important than ever. only six games to go now including three more against the nfc north and it's really an uphill battle now to get this team into an elite category which they have not shown they can compete at. >> your first question of the day to the coach? >> we're going to have to go through the timeout scenario again and exactly what the thinking was there. he explained it well after the game but how come he didn't know that rule aer all the years on the nfl sideline? >> also, turkey bowl on thursday. how many in a row? >> 36 turkey bowls in a row. a birthday coming up tuesday. so it's this kind of time of year which really wears on me after a while. >> joe, as always, press box, on a honored for our monday morning quarterback. thank you, happy birthday. coming up next -- who is not trying to save a little money? did you realize some of your cutbacks might be costing you more? also, is the housing market rebounding. some say yes, others say no. why the condo market could be the next to fall. and megan is on the red carpet at the premiere of "dreamgirls." she will show us the glamour from new york city. coming up next. so what comes to mind when we switch the tv from cable to fios?

abc news joce sterman unveils the top money-saving myths. >> reporter: with the holiday season upon us now is a great time to talk about money-saving myth number one. sales shopping saves you money. >> retailers have been at this for a very long time and retailers know, they study people. this is a science. >> reporter: barry boon owns dealhunting.com, a site with a collection of sales, coupons and deals from about 2,000 stores. he says the biggest enemy of sales shopping is impulse buying. >> thank you. >> if you saw something you really need and you buy it you didn't save anything. you just bought things you didn't need. >> reporter: so he says step back before buying. >> maybe go home, get on the internet, do a little research, find out if it's a good deal. >> reporter: money saving myth number two, that saving money depends on income. experts say that is just not true. >> what's important regardless of income is to pay yourself first. >> reporter: every time you get a paycheck set aside a certain amount of money. >> otherwise it will just quickly become a part of your discretionary income and you'll never realize you got it. >> reporter: money-saving emergency number three, refinancing your home pays off. >> refinancing your home doesn't always pay off. >> reporter: refinancing does mean lower monthly payments but if you've also extended the life of the loan you may end up paying more for your home. for instance, if you already paid 10 years of mortgage, then refinancing for another 30 means you basically stretched the loan to 40 years. our final money-saving myth brings us to the body shop. should you delay an oil change from 3,000 to 5,000 miles? >> this here is a prime example of what happened when you don't take care of your vehicle and change oil regularly. >> reporter: consider this, a $25 or even $30 oil change or $25 for a new engine. newer cars can go 5,000 miles between oil changes under ideal circumstances, something many of us don't encounter. >> most of us drive several miles in heavy traffic and high temperatures. we idle a lot waiting on traffic. and that's real hard on engines and hard on oil. there's a big investment in that vehicle. i sure wouldn't skimp on oil changes. >> reporter: four of the top money-saving myths revealed. follow this advice and you'll be on the right track to real savings. joce sterman, abc2 news. our weekly mortgage monday. we're joined by carl delmont from freedmont mortgage. you want to talk about tom clancy, the hunt for a nice condo. he found one. >> you spent $12.3 million. he's taking three penthouse units and putting them together to make one colossal unit. it's getting a lot of publicity but in baltimore, some people are like, this is a sign that real estate is coming back. that condos are coming back. this is not any type of sign portending that. that it's coming back. tom clancy has a lot of money. he has a condo in canton about a mile away, a big house in calvert county this. is for him just disposable income. condos are changing. people want to buy them. everyone is talking about the tax credit which is nice but faa is changing the rules on condos. for instance, the spot approval process is being eliminated if you're building a condo project, they will make you go through all the new project guidelines which could delay things. more importantly, people don't realize when you find a condo, it's going to be either fha or conventionally freddie mac or fannie mae approved. what is going to happen now, more than 15% of the condo units are behind on their condo fees. it's not going to be warrantable. investors own more than 10%, that will hurt people who want to buy in ocean city, things of that nature. a lot of good things in the mortgage market. what is not getting press, a lot of the stuff that could be a anchor around the ankles of the housing recovery. look out for that. >> i know miami is hurt big time. how do we rank? >> baltimore has never been a big condo market. >> i remember back in 1988 when scarlet place went up. still having trouble selling them. >> that was one. then they started building some, we later started seeing more and more people doing condos, but now not so much. the people not affected by the economy are looking and saying we work in the city, want a place there. it's again, discretionary income. for the first-time buyer, it's getting tougher. if you can't pay cash like tom clancy, watch yourself getting a condzo because my biggest fear now, you buy the condo, go through all the stuff and find two months in we just realized that 18 people of the people are behind on condos fees. you can't get them now. they don't have enough time to get the property and get the tax credit. >> so we got silo point, locust point. ritz-carlton. harbor east doing well? >> some are doing ok. ok as condos, compared to overall housing - >> still a little shaky. >> baltimore has never been a big condo area for some reason. not sure why. >> you going to be invited to the clancys?
