Spring field. Everything is moving well both in the main and hov lanes early this morning. Back to the maps, this time heading out west on the westbound side of 66. That Construction Zone near route 28 is scheduled to be there till 6 00 in the morning so watch out for that. It should be clearing up shortly we hope about an hour or so. Lets take a live look one more time outside and this time over on the north side of town in college park looking good here at route 1 as you can see. The outer loop heading into Silver Spring and beyond toward 270. Back to you, andrea and mike. Its technically not a filibuster but sure looks like one. Sounds like one. Texas senator ted cruz has now been talking add nause yum for 14 ad nause yum for 14 hours. Senator cruz can make sure the vote doesnt happen any earlier than its supposed to on the budget. Delia goncalves is in our Satellite Center with more on what cruz hopes to accomplish going into his 15th hour now. Reporter thats right. I have been listening, not all 15 hours but i have been listening and monitoring the activity on the senate floor. Many are calling this a speech marathon of sorts. And in doing so, cruz strongly believes that he can defund obamacare. His aides admit hes using the senate floor to speak directly to his conservative supporters. The texas senator won in a tea party upset less than a year ago. While he hasnt made many allies on the year, hes considered a g. O. P. President ial contender. The texas senator says hes speaking directly to americans who oppose obamacare and its constituents. And his speech fest drags on, his own republican colleagues continue to get increasingly annoyed and frustrated with his actions. Where is the outrage . Where are the senators standing here saying what a travesty that young people are being denied a fair shot in the American Dream because of what we have brought, because of obamacare . Even if its a sinking ship, we have yet to see democrats come out and say, we tried it and it didnt work. Lets listen to the american people. Glsh as you mentioned in the reporter as you mentioned in the midst of all of this, he cant really delay the vote on this measure and again, we are one day closer to a potential Government Shutdown if congress doesnt strike a deal. Of course the deadline is october 1, very, very close. Now, senator cruz is getting some help with this speech fest by a colleague in the senate, another republican, mike lee of utah. Ill have some of their peculiar exchanges and commentary coming up at 5 30. Mike, andrea, back to you. Thank you, delia. Police say they have little comfort to offer relatives and friends of a Woodbridge High School football player. 18yearold kenny diaz was stabbed to death over the weekend. Now investigators have arrested six people in this case. One of them, 19yearold diandra samuels charged with murder. The other five are facing kidnapping charges. Detectives say samuels robbed a friend of diaz earlier this month prompting diaz and his friends to confront samuels saturday at her home but then samuels and other suspects drove diaz to a nearby park where he was killed. A suspect in the disappearance of a virginia teenager has been indicted. A Nelson County grand jury indicted 48yearold randy taylor on two charges kidnapping and stealing an atv. While taylor admits meeting 17 yearold Alexis Murphy early last month, he told police she left with someone else. Murphys car was found in a parking lot of a multiplex in charlottesville three days after her family last saw her. Taylors next Court Appearance is set for october 23. Montgomery county police sacred card skimming device say credit card skimming devices were placed on atms at banks in chevy chase. They released photos two of suspects. The devices were put on atms several times in august and the account numbers were recorded and then later used fraud dentally. Detectives urge consumers to inspect credit card readers for damage, scratches or tape residue before you use them. If you see Something Weird on your atm, dont use it. Theyre also hoping anyone who can identify the suspects you see there on the screen in ball caps be give them a call. Time for latest report of the morning. Jessica knows about this from the credit card skimmers. How foe cyst indicated are they how sophisticated are they . Incredibly sophisticated. Inside they have tons of information. They have mother boards. They have all this stuff so they can skim your credit card information if youre using a deb bid debit card, they can skim your number. Whats amazing is, we want to show you this picture right here. These are two devices side by side. These are credit card skimmers. On the left you have a standard one. On the right that has a blu tooth device on it. Essentially what its doing is sending that information to the thief who can be anywhere. Can be right down the street in a car, can be in another country and still be able to get this information. So its incredibly difficult to spot these things because they do look so much like the pin readers themselves. But if you do spot it, should you try and disable this so all of that wont happen to you . Absolutely not. Heres why. The people who put these things in there have spent a lot of money on these devices. Even a bottom of the line model a former colleague of mine who writes a private blog on security, they can spend 2500 on a single device, putting together some parts. They have a vested interest in protecting these devices. A couple devices can net them 400,000 easily over a weekend. So they could potentially come after you to stop you from disabling these devices. Because they could be just right nearby watching you try to disable it and come after you. Absolutely. So alert the authorities instead and also as we were talking about the debit card, use a credit card when at the gas station, for example, because theres a big pickup on gas station skimmers. They can steal your debit card pin code and thats a big problem. You have a lot more coverage if youre using a credit card at the gas station. Wall street, how are we looking . We are looking hopefully agent bit better today. Were trying to snap a fourday losing streak on wall street.

Thats coming im Terry Mcauliffe, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. For 30 years ive worked as an obgyn, my job is to protect the health of women.

Even though the team could sneak into the playoffs through the back door, fans did get a chance to vote on who makes their game day experience one to remember and enjoy. Diane roberts has more on the honors for Team Employees in this inside pitch. Reporter all season long the folks hired to make sure you have a great Fan Experience have been given the thumbs up. Some even became monthly mvps for going the extra mile. But the team wanted to do more for the best of the best in each of the nine service divisions. We wanted the fans to know how hard we work and what our dedication to service is and we also wanted our staff to know how much the guests appreciate what they do. We congratulate the nine winners of the 2013 team service allstars vote. Reporter fan votes determine these winners. How are you today . Reporter kayla west is a merchandising allstar. I love the atmosphere here. The customers are great from australia, everywhere around the world. Reporter the nationals have been honoring members of Guest Services like kayla for three years. This year for the first time they let fans vote. 25,000 had a say. For their part winners get a trip to see a postseason game. Weve been to yankees stadium. We went to the world series last year. Its actually an extraordinary thing to do. A lot of our team members have never been to a major league part. I think its great theyre rewarding us with a trip in the postseason. Reporter the team says you can only expect the service to get better and better as the years go along because the longer the employees work here, the more they get to know about the ballpark and its fans. Diane roberts, wusa9. In addition to the trip to a playoff game, the team service allstarsle received an official team jacket and tickets to this past sundays home finale at nats park which meant a day off to enjoy the baseball for a change.

Still really no brake lights, just slow as you travel toward 121 and then the pace picks up. Lets go back over to the maps. This time heading over to the south side of town. In virginia on the northbound side of 95 looks great. No problems to report to spring field, 66 coming in from manassas and well take a live look outside here in spring field just loading up a bit approaching the beltway. Have you ever watched c span and you see somebody at the podium and you are imagining theres a gallery full of people. If you turn the camera around, the gallery is mostly empty. Imagine talking all night long and still talking . Thats what senator cruz is doing right now. He wants to make sure the senate cannot vote early on the house budget bill because he knows his colleagues plan to amend the bill to keep in funding for the Affordable Health care act. He doesnt want that. Delia goncalves is keeping union on senator cruz in our satellite senator. He is still talking. Reporter thats right. Im keeping an eye and keeping an ear open to his speech. Were going on 15 hours. I can tell you the senator has not lost steam. Still fired up. He says he will speak as long as he can stand. The texas senator won in a tea party upset less than a year ago. His aides say he is speaking directly to his conservative supporters. The senators speech, though, is purely symbolic, a true filibuster would delay a vote. He has, however, managed to stall an early vote as you mentioned on the measure taking this time to speak on and off topic. Listen to this exchange with utah senator mike lee. You know what color the black box is . Senator lee, i do. It must be black if were dealing with ordinary english language it would be black. But perhaps airplane manufacturers think Like Congress because the black box on an airplane is orange. Theres something called the panama hat. Can you tell me what part of the world the panama hat comes from . Well, i would yield to that question and note that it could possibly if you call it a panama hat, it would make sense it would be pan madam president but think again. Panama panama. But think again, ecuador makes panama hats. Reporter after hours and hours of speaking on topic, sometimes other things creep in there but in the midst of all of this, a very serious issue and economic shutdown, meltdown could happen. The Government Shutdown is looming. The deadline october 1. But senator cruz, he cant go on forever, even though he intends to. Ill have more on the senate rules and limits coming up at 6 00. Back to you, mike, andrea. Delia, thank you for that update. With less than six weeks until virginia elects their next governor, tonight republican Ken Cuccinelli and democrats Terry Mcauliffe will square off in their first prime time debate. This forum at the Fairfax County chamber of commerce has made a different in several recent elections. Last night it was the number twos on the tickets facing off at a debate in arlington. It will open up coverage to approximately 400,000 hard working virginians. I would underline the word hardworking. This is not a handout. These are virginians who are working whose salaries have not been able to keep up with the cost of health care. I think there are other ways to do this. We need a variety of approaches. Rather than a one size government fits all approach. If you have a compassion for people, you want to see that they have health care but turning it over to the federal government is a way to arrive at the opposite result. That was republican e. W. Jackson talking about the Affordable Care act. Before him democrat ralph northam. Peggy fox moderated last nights forum between the Lieutenant Governor hopefuls. The general election is november 5. About 5 35 now. Back tores at baltimores shock trauma unit are treating a man who got trapped at a Frederick County construction site yesterday.

Maryland state Police Say Residents who submitted handgun purchase applications before tougher requirements go into effect will not have to obtain a handgun qualification license.

The deadline to submit an application under the current gun purchasing rules is september 30. Thanks for waking up with us. Its time for another your money report. Jessica doyle is back talking about the money problems that cant go away at Howard University. Theyre about to go potentially from bad to worse. It all comes back to the fight on capitol hill over the budget. Heres why. Howard university is a private university, but it relies heavily on the u. S. Government for support. Get this. To the tune of about 250 million a year. Thats why Ratings Agency moodies has issued its downgrade of howards bond rating now indicating a moderate credit risk. Moodys thinks federal cuts will impact the school in the next year. All the universitys revenues under pressure right now too the Credit Agency says Howard University hospital has become a drag on the school. The college has also seen a decline in enrollment due to tightened lending standards for federal parent loans. Something well continue to watch.

Turns out the weak economy may be scaring the fun out of halloween this year. The National Retail federation says about 158 Million People plan to participate, down from 170 million a year ago. Average money spent about 75 bucks and thats down almost five bucks from last year. Doesnt seem like much but when you add it up, thats a big chunk to lose. We have a Police Officer and a pirate.

The cats weave in and out between the tables or they hop up on to the arm chairs and curl up. No way. The cafes owners came up with a policy to help parisians who are unable to keep their pets in cramped apartments. I dont even know if jessica goes along with that and shes our cat lover. Jumping up .

Yesterday we hit 75. So another beautiful afternoon. Cool this morning from new england down toward us. Weve got the 40s. 50s here with just a couple 60s, especially as you head out in toward kentucky right now. Locally looking at the fog as ive been talking about all morning.

A northeasterly wind coming off the ocean. That will keep temperatures low to mid70s friday, saturday. In fact right through early next week. Slim chance well see a shower monday with a front approaching but theres just not a lot of moisture to work w. Lets go over to monika samtani. Shes not looking all that good. Its slowing down. Weve got one incident i do need to tell you about that. It is a deer struck on the west side of town ramp from the outer loop to get on to gallows road. I know that vdot is now arriving on the scene trying to clean up the situation. Again outer loop ramp to gallows road. Here at the American Legion bridge on the west side, things look good.

Lets take a live look on the northbound side of i95 where youre going to find that it is slowing down or southbound 270. Well start with that route 109 to 121 in clarksburg and then the pace picks up in germantown. River road through bethesda and the beltway on the top side of town. Lets go back to the maps. This time over to the bw parkway on route 50 through cheverly. Theyre pretty normal into the northeast corridor. Were looking good over the Anacostia River bridges and one last live look outside here on the beltway at colesville road. Still no big delays on the outer loop through Silver Spring. Back to you. Thank you, monika. 5 50 now. Here some of the stories new were following this morning. The death toll continues to rise after an earthquake late yesterday in a remote part of southwest pakistan. More than 200 bodies have been recovered. More and more people remain trapped at this point. The 7. 7 magnitude tremor was so strong, that a small island appeared where there was no land before. In the first investigation of its time, federal transportation officials are reviewing whether Asiana Airlines failed to help passengers and their families after julys crash in San Francisco. Three people died and dozens were hurt when flight 214 clipped a sea wall. In the late 1990s, congress created rules requiring airlines to assist crash victim. Closing arguments could wrap up later today in Michael Jacksons family wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoter aeg. The two sides disagree on whether or not it was the singer or the company who was responsible for hiring dr. Conrad murray. Murray administered sedatives that contributed to jacksons death back in 2009. A list of new safety requirements is leading to the end ever the road in the of the road in the car industry. On the road again is the song that goes with this. Over 60 years when they launched the legend, volkswagen has decided to get out of the mini bus business. Michele miller has more on the long road thats now coming to an end. Reporter for some the volkswagen bus was the driving spirit of their mouth. For others its an enduring relic long past its prime. But for all its time, investigation wagon will stop producing the pill shaped vans after december 31. Thats when brazil, the only country where the bus is still being produced will start requiring air bags and antilock brakes in all new cars. Investigation wagon rather than volkswagen rather than bringing the bus up to that standard has decided to stop selling it there. Reporter that will mean end of the road for a vehicle first produced in 1950. Really without the volkswagen bus, you wouldnt have seen the poppization of a mass market people move like a minivan. Its something thats almost universally appealing. It makes people smile when they see them. Reporter in the u. S. The bus has sometimes resembled art projects on wheels. Others are immortalized in actual works of art like the one in this bob dillon album cover. In argo, the bus with us less art and more hero fairing ferrying trapped American Embassy employees to safety. The basic design has not changed much through the decades. A testament to the vehicles sound engineering and functionialty. It really resonates pretty broadly. Every segment in the world loves the volkswagen bus. Reporter it was the second car model introduced by volkswagen after the beetle. Since then some ten million buses have been sold worldwide. For cbs this morning, michele miller, new york. Texas republican ted cruz has spent the night talking on the floor of the u. S. Senate. Now hes going into the morning hours. Well have the latest on his quest coming up.
