The blitz and glitz in a city you wont soon forget. And much more coming up later in sports. Meantime, the boy scouts of america may be just days away from lifting that long standing ban on homosexuals as scouts. This according to the groups spokesman. Scouting Organizations National board meets next week and they could decide then to drop that ban. According to that spokesman, local troops would decide for themselves whether or not to change their membership policies or continue to exclude gays. We spoke to leaders from clover leaf, maryland. They took their own progay stance on their website, but they were told by the bsa they had to take it down. Weve had parents, or kids that wanted to join and didnt join because of this. So im hoping now that this is happening that there is parents out there, they know they are more than welcome to come to join now. Gay rights group calls this glad. But the president of the Southern Baptist seminary said such a policy change would be a disaster. Just seven months ago, the boy scouts affirmed the ban on gays after reviewing the issue for nearly two years. After that decision was announced, some members joined individual chapters and asking for a reconsideration. Does udc, the university of the district of columbia have any future at all . University president has been fired. Nearly 100 jobs are gone and folks are being let go all over. The citys elected leaders are unanimous. They dont want to put any new money into that school. First glance, udc looks like an urban university on the move. Which way . Are you concerned about the future . Of course i am. With our president getting fired, we are scared we will lose accreditation. Nearly 100 positions abolished to save money. We have all these firings. The board of trustees say the cuts wont affect student services. The students told us today, Many Services and classroom instruction were already suffering. There are a lot of teachers that probably should be updated or retired because they are not in current knowledge. Some that dont use the internet. Udc seems to know better than to ask d. C. s elected leaders for a bigger subsidy. Realizing a 3 to 400 million surplus from the last fiscal year. You cant find any big support. Not from alumni, not from anybody downtown making the big decisions. Mayor vincent gray goes before the d. C. Council will his idea for what to do with that big budget surplus. The mayor is not asking for any additional money or loans for udc. Does udc have a future . Half of its 5,000 students were peeled off by the new Community College. Were going to want to hear from the board what their vision is for moving forward, with the existing resources. And growing their resources by attracting more students. You have to do an analysis. It doesnt make sense to continue to offer this four year program when the need seems to be in the Community College side. Mayor gray spokesman said he is willing to give the board of trustees more time to come up with the right size plan for the four year school. They wont say how much time. Bruce johnson, wusa9. Now, as far as that d. C. Budget surplus is concerned, mayor gray will talk about that tomorrow, staff says he will want to devote some of that money to affordable housing. Jack evans says that money should be saved for a rainy day or used to cut taxes. Icy roadways canceled or delayed classes for a lot of folks today. Topper is out on the weather terrace. Top, that was ugly this morning. Im hoping the rest of our night is better. The rest of our night will be better. Temperatures will remain steady, maybe rise a little to the south. Lets start with current temperatures. 43 downtown. Still 37 in gaithersburg and 36 up in frederick. 39 in leesburg and already 45 in manassas and 53 in fredericksburg. Radar, got a couple showers pushing through Fairfax County and Loudoun County not far from great falls. Other than that, we are in pretty good shape. The commute, whats left of it will be wet on the way home, but again, no icy problems and no worries about anything in terms of heavy rain. Well come back and talk about a crazy temperature roller coaster. Can you say thunderstorms and flurries within 48 hours . It may happen. No icy problems, thats a good thing. Well, congress is finally passed a big Disaster Relief package for the victims of superstorm sandy. It amounts to 50 billion. That money goes to help families and businesses all up and down the east coast. So they can rebuild following the damage done by sandy back in october. Family members of a new york city woman who vanished while vacationing in turkey have now arrived in istanbul. Her husband and brother landed a short time ago. That 33yearold mom left on a solo trip abroad three weeks ago and she kept in regular contact with the family and she was supposed to be back last tuesday, but when the plane landed, she was not on it. A call to the landlord of the hotel where sierra was staying revealed all of her things were still in her room. When asked if she may have run off, her husband says no way. Not in the way that you might be referring to them. I have no doubt whatsoever, you know, thats not a question in my mind. She was excited to come back home. Now steven says hes not leaving turkey without his wife. The state departnt and the Turkish Police looking for her. Still ahead, recipes, cute cartoons, and porn . You can find it all on twitters new video sharing app. Well tell you what the company has to say about that. Also ahead, public radio . Private time. A Radio Station encouraging listeners to get busy. Well tell you in the state of virginia, it could soon be illegal to smoke in your car if theres a child under the age of 15. Now the measure passed the state Senate Subcommittee today. Now it moves to the full senate. The public Radio Station is about to launch a brandnew light hearted Membership Campaign encouraging listeners to make some babies. Of course the aim is to make more public radio listeners. The station is wbez. Thats in chicago. The ads will appear online and in newspapers and on train platforms, even taxis. Among the tag lines, we want listeners tomorrow to go make babies today. Do it for chicago. Still ahead on wusa9. Dont look, twitters latest mobile app filled with videos. Could you really do that in six weotta sell the car. Where would we even start . Get the car. Hi howard. Get in. Hi, good to see you. Start with an actual written offer when selling your car, no strings attached. Carmax. Start here. You know what, we probably shouldnt be surprised by this, but the newest app from monster hit, twitter is already overwelmed with pornography. The app is for iphones and ipads and lets you share 6 second videos. Bruce leshan is with us now. Bruce, we dont want to know about this, do we . I know i saw a lot of stuff i did not want to see. The baby, hes real cute, but the app launched on thursday and it is already filled with so many sex videos that you have to wonder if all this porn is a sign of humanitys basic instincts or its just a stunt to get the app more publicity. The app itself, pretty cool. You can share little video clips. Either one six second stream or shorter little clips. Wish i had some friends over. Edited together by tapping to start and stop. But no sooner had it appeared in apples app store than people started posting crude pornography. Pictures of and by men, pictures of women in various stages of undress. All quickly found by searching porn or sex or something even more explicit. Twitter insists it was human error that made one of these not safe for word videos, the editors choice for the start of your workweek. Each video has a report as inappropriate button beneath it and enough reports will leave the video hidden behind a black screen of warning. But warnings are missing for some and several disgusted viewers promise to delete them. One blamed a vine video for getting her suspended from school. All right bruce, so is twitter embarrassed by all this or glad for the extra attention . You got to wonder. It is kind of hard to know, but twitter is apologizing, actually, for this morning making a porn video its editors choice. It is encouraging people to flag inappropriate contact. But twitter generally opposes sensorship, witness its involvement with the arab spring and all those twitter messages during the arab spring. It is in a strange position if its going to start censoring these videos. On the other hand, apple has never been in favor of porn and they always talked about keeping porn off their app. Couldnt they put the pressure on . I really think they could. Apple hates porn. It is banned all apps with any kind of adult content, but we have yet to hear back from apple about whether it objects to what it is seeing at this point. A lot of it is cute. Look at this. Bang, the dog rolls over and plays dead. Yeah, its hard to control what people do with their apps, we appreciate it, thanks. Well, go to the consumer alert tonight, the super bowl kicks off in the big easy this weekend, but the Better Business bureau says we we are going to get to that story later, lets get to top with the weather. 70s down there. Well head to the 60s by wednesday. But not sunday. Well be tracking thunderstorms on wednesday evening and snow showers friday evening. Quite a turn around. Lets take a live look outside. High temperatures so far 44. Temperature may not be done going up just yet. 43 right now. Dew points in the upper 30s. Not looking for any icy problems. Winds out of the south at 7. Thats good. Thats a warm direction. So temperatures 41 in old town. 43 in fairfax, but still some upper 30s in reston and bethesda. As you go up toward germantown. Those temperatures will not drop tonight. They will go up before midnight. And upper 40s toward dumfries and 42 in college park. Even waldorf is 47. So, heres the radar. A couple showers roll through. A couple showers still to the west of us. Not really much left. Just a couple of sprinkles and showers in Loudoun County and Fairfax County. North of fairfax and toward gainesville and that is about it. So nothing heavy tonight, certainly, but we have to keep the chance for showers in. No icy problems tonight. Keep your umbrella handy. Milder tomorrow. Like april on wednesday, then we get a reality check. Back to winter on thursday. Temperatures tonight steady, mostly cloudy, breezy, milder. Got to keep a few showers in the forecast. Winds will pick up southwest 10 to 15 and that will get temperatures up. Mostly cloudy and mild. Could see a shower or fog early. Temperatures in the 40s to around 50. And then by afternoon, skies should return partly sunny, milder, keep the chance of a shower in, but highs 54 to 58 and winds pick up south, southeast at about 10 to 15. Now the next three days, our 9 weather alerts will be green tomorrow, Early Morning showers. We go yellow. Gusty wind, even without the thunderstorms. We could see winds of 30 Miles Per Hour wednesday evening. Maybe a morning shower on thursday. A big temperature change between wednesday and thursday. We could see some snow flurries or snow showers on friday. And were looking at pm flurries on saturday for the ground hog day. He could see his shadow in the morning and were still in the 30s on sunday and 30s on monday. We are some kind of cold after thursday. Thank you, top. Now well turn to Kristen Berset who is in new orleans. A place where hurricanes can be there. This is quite a hurricane or tornado. All the media has converged among the players. The ravens arrived today and coach John Harbaugh just spoke with the press conference. Well hear from them coming up in just a bit. A look ahead to their opponents. The 49ers now, heres Kristen Berset at the wusa9 cadillac sports desk. Welcome back. We are live at the hilton river side. The Baltimore Ravens team hotel here in new orleans. Media day, the first media day just starting to wrap up. You see this crowd behind me. They are all starting to dispurse. A lot of players, ray lewis, joe flacco, were all just speaking. Also excited to be here. They just arrived just about two hours ago after the sendoff in baltimore. They got on the plane at bwi and had a huge motorcycle cop escort. A lot of fans were waiting for them. One of the best Police Motorcades i have seen so far. Even talking to the coach. It was like going to another game. I think we embrace the things that are different. We are here at the super bowl. It has to be different. Its okay that its a little bit different. Lets put that where it belongs and make the most of it and lets make the most of our preparation. Well be ready to go on sunday. Ravens making some waves in the nfl today. In an interview with cbssports. Com, he says the future of the nfl is bleak. That Roger Goodell with all of his changes is making it possible that the nfl may not exist in 30 years. Lets hope thats not true. Of course the ravens opponent of San Francisco 49ers, they got here yesterday. So they are a little more settled in. They arrived about 7 00 last night. And you know, they had a longer flight coming across over here as well. So they got here last night, got some practice in today, and you know, spoke to the media a little bit. They are in the same boat as the ravens. They got knocked down to their conference game. They are excited to be here and making up for lost time. Life is full of bitter disappointments. That was one. But that we werent defeated. You can kill a man, but you cant defeat him. And heres our first look at redskins, trent williams. Kept him out of yesterdays pro bowl. In this picture, williams is at the hawaii airport last night headed back. He has a black eye, as you can see, needed 7 stitches after getting hit by a champagne bottle. So thankfully he was okay, but he did sit out of the pro bowl, but the nfc ended up winning anyways. Lets do it for now, well have plenty more coming up at 11 00, for now, im Kristen Berset. Back to you in the studio. Thank you. We look forward to chatting with you and enjoy those hurricanes. Ill be back here with anita and topper. Log on any time to wusa9. Com. Have a great night.
