A lifeguard also says he sees an uptick in the number of people needing help. And as you can see live on the scene, there is a thefirefighten the ladder looking to help those coast guard rescuers, to see if there is another person out there needing rescue. And of course we know that a storm is under way and that the seas are rough anyway here out in ocean beach. As you can see, the sign is warning people that the seas are rough and that to really be cautious out here. So as we saw in the last two hours, three calls for 911.

Host the president this week, proofer wu professor wu, spoke about Net Neutrality. Heres what he had to say.
