the unemployment rate in the district in january was 12%. in maryland, it was 7.5% and in virginia, just under 7%. again, these are january numbers. we're not alone. rates went up in 30 states in january but the national unemployment rate dropped below 10% for the first time in months. could those numbers actually be a sign of an economy on the rebound. chris cotter with fox business network is live in new york with this morning's business beat. are we being too optimistic in making that connection. what do you think? >> well, funny thing is, you know, you've got -- if the unemployment rate goes up a little bit, it is actually a good thing in the short term because what that mines is you've got all of these people and there are hundreds of thousands of people that have left the labor force. they need to come back into the labor force. they need to realize or have the thght process anyway that the economy is better and i have a better chance ofet a job today than i did yesterday so i'm he going to start looking. we need that to go up awe little bit. that would be a positive. when you see d.c. at 1% and maybe have some other areas, maryland and virginia lower, it is not necessarily a bad thing that d.c. is higher if have you some job openings along the way. we saw actually yesterday a separate report from the labor department that said job openings are at the highest level we've seen in a year. so there is some boss tough but it is very slow going right now. >> also, slow going, the slowing of foreclosures but another report says it is sling a bit. encouraging news as well. >> yeah, real track came out with their numbers today. households facing foreclosure in february grew 6%. that is still growing but it is the smallest growth we've seen in a long tme so what you've got is much like employment, housing is sort of the scraping along the bottom if you will. we talk about the bottom here in economics. is the recovery going to be like a v, like a u? it is really like a u in housing and unemployment. we are at the bottom right now bouncing along and trying to find when we'll have the rise and foreclosures right now, one in every 418 homes received some sort of foreclosure notice and that was down from january. so it is getting better but still february pretty rough month for housing. >> thank you soften sort of a mixed bag out there right now. a check on weather, traffic and today's top stories coming up next. stacy, good morning. >> good morning. i'm live on capitol hill where the final push for health care reform takes

but it is very mild down to our south. 55 in fredericksburg. 56 in patuxent. 50degrees in ocean city and then cooler air up to the north. your day planner for today, a little bit of sunshine but mostly cloudy. mild again, temperatures still above normal. look for a high today into the low 60s. yesterday, we made it up to the mid-60s. not bad. maybe a shower or two here or there but for the

they spotted the body in lake linganore yesterday. charles dillon of woodbridge is a registered sex offender. he advertised piano lessons on- line but he didn't tell police. that led to i new investigation and charges. roz plater has more on what officers found. >> reporter: on his web site, charles dillon says music is his passion. but now the popular piano teacher is charged with four new counts of possessing child pornography and on-line records show it is not the first time. his neighbors are stunned. >> just an ordinary run of the mill subdivision. en is just trying to live their life and to find this news out is shocking. >> virginia's registered sex offender database shows dillon was convicted in federal court in 1998 for possessing child porn. his current troubles began last october when fairfax county police spotted his web site advertising piano lessons for ages four and up. police say as a registered sex offender, he had an obligation to report his web site. >> any web site, any e-mail address, any profile id, there are certain requirements that the listed individual notify state police within 0 minutes j that probe last fall led to the current charges. >> once we initiated that investigation, this evidence of these other charges then surfaced. >> reporter: no one answered the door at dillon's west springfield home. police say there is no allegation he inappropriately tawchd child. >> there is no evidence that mr. dillon touched any children. it is just the simple possession of child pornography. >> the 59-year-old piano teacher has his day in court the end of the month. no word back tonight from dillon's attorney. if convicted he could be facing up to five years on each count. tomorrow, the public gets a chance to sound off about the issues they have had with the d.c. fire department. public oversight hearing comes in the wake of two incidents involving patient who reportedly did not get the help they needed. the fire department now admits it did in fact receive a complaint and two medics were disciplined for forcing that woman you just saw to call 911 twice before she was eventually taken to the hospital back in december. a spokes machine had claim she refused transport but there was not a signed release too-to- back up that claim. that violates department protocol. now, city leaders want answers. >> the leadership should be accountable. we're not working as fast as humanly possible to make sure we created an environment which creates stability in the department. i think the instability in the department causes a lot of confusion. >> these problems shouldn't be occurring. i have reason to suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that the improvements that we thought were occurring with ems have actually slipped backwards. >> that woman came forward after hearing the story of 2- year-old stephanie stevens who died last month when medic did his not transport her to the hospital right away. there will be a major step forward in the push for health care reform. democrat leaders in the house say they are near the end. >> some return lawmakers take a stand that could keep some reforms out of the commonwealth. stacy cohan has more. >> reporter: good morning p there was a late-night meeting last night among house democratic leaders that planed a strategy for their sales pitch today and, indeed, make no mistake, this is an all-out sails pitch in an effort to save the president's key priority, health care reform. here are the details of what they're looking for to iron out in this health care overhaul. at under are questions of how much this will cost. there is a need if a final cost estimate from the congressional budget office. they're expecting -- or the democrats that are still concerned are expecting it to be about $950 billion over 10 years. that measure is disputed by republicans who claim it will cost much more than that. they want to remove some certainly deals cut in the senate deal. this was seen as a deal-making measure. and finally, that abortion funding. there are concerns that there is not language in the bill, the senate version of the bill, that would specifically ban federal funning for abortion and there are at least a handful of democrats that refuse to get on board with this until that language is altered. >> from my reading of it, it does permit federal funding for abortion-related services in the senate bill as it stands today. and so that is a fatal flaw. >> unless the language changes, there is at least 1 democrat who have said they could not vote for health care unless we get to keep the current law which says no public funding for abortion. >> no meanwhile, the virginia state general assembly made the commonwealth the first state in the nation to give some official pushback to this potential health care reform package. the house of delegates there in virginia voted overwhelmingly last night to ban mandatory health insurance and that bill is expected to be signed by governor mcdonnell when the general assembly concludes later this week. there are at least 34 other states across the nation that are considering similar measures. i'm love on capitol hill. back to you. >> thank you. virginia governor bob mcdonnell has reverseed a controversial decision. state's tan attorney general sent a leer to state ?iewks telling them that homosexuals are not protected from discrimination under state law. governor mcdonnell issued a new directive saying employment discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated by his administration. the governor also said federal law prohibits discrimination. ware talking about eric massa 4/079 tv. we are talking about war and peace, $3 billion, a thousand lives and no press? you.

accused the national press of focusing on stories like the sex scandal involving former representative eric massa and ignoring the war even though troops continue to die there. >> you want to know why the american believe public is fit? they're fit because they are not seeing their congress do the work they are sent to do. it is because the press, the press in the united states is not covering the most significant issue of national importance and that is the laying of lives down in the nation for the service of our country. it is despicable, the national press corps right now. >> kennedy as a america needs to protect itself but he says the current strategy in afghanistan is all wrong. the ethics committee has ended its investigation of massa meantime. he resigned monday amid algages of

both of you and ask what you think did? >> i've left the house with a wet head and it has been cold and high hair has not frozen. ill say no. >> the hair may not freeze but the water would freeze. >> like the morchys in japan. the white monkeyswith the pink faces. >> the answer, essentially, is kind. what steve said. i don't know that the hair follicles themselves freeze, about if our hair is wet and you step now frigid cold temperatures, you can get ice on your head, right being tucker? >> we did a lot of research on this very subject. >> mooch my enthusiasm, please. >> we thought that we could show you what might happen if you step out with wet hair in temperatures minus 12 degrees. here is a guy in alaska. he is at a pool, indoor pool. he runs outside. >> his hair is wet. >> his hair is wet and his goatee is wet. watch what happens momentarily. having a good time with his friends. >> he does come back in here. and while we're watching this, i do want to say. this we did a lot of research on. this i have found no instance of huan hair, if it is dry air and you step outside just freezing. it seems that the hair has to be wet. watch this guy. these are the things people do, guys especially. >> there we go. >> tucker barnes, not just the hair, look at his beard and eyelashes. frozen. now, will see he wipes it a what at least from his eyelashes rather easily but the moisture on his hair does indeed freeze. there are some people would are suggesting, and this seems to be true, that you don't really want to do this because it can damage your hair. it actually would dry the hair out. >> split the ends all up. >> it make it easier for it to break. so, yes, we'll say -- there is his buddy. i don't know that hair itself left -- if you just hay bunch of hair and you threw t
