mile into the woods. when fire crews arrived in the neighborhood, the smoke was gone. eventually, police officers drove down a narrow back road and discovered the body. >> what appeared to be some physical injuries prior to the fire. >> sheriff simpson says the body was found just outside the shed. >> those are always issues and that's a lot of times why people will set fires. it certainly makes it a little more difficult. some things can be destroyed. some things may have had fingerprints on them. >> fire was called into dispatch at 5:47. 40 minutes before that, leesburg police say someone called them to ask about filing a missing persons report. the report was never filed. neighbors are already fearing the worst. >> well yeah, i mean because it could have been any of us. i

for the utility and more importantly, for its customers. let's get a check on the evening rush hour on tuesday night. petranya, how is it going? >> good evening. if you are leaving work right now and heading towards i-95, you'll be happy to know two earlier accidents. one in prince william parkway has now cleared, so traffic is moving. all lanes wide open. it will be slow. moving right along to 495, things are moving well towards university. you are going to start tracking brake lights, no major problems on 495. if you are heading up north on bw parkway, might be a better bet. right now

other than that, the rails are looking good. the dc region's longest serving superintendent is leaving at the end of the school year. dr. jerry wees weast of montgomery county made the announcement.

superintendent going on 12 years now and he leaves with the highest graduation rate among the nation's largest school districts. so, with dr. weast on the way out, scott broome takes a look back and

graduation rate of 83%. first among the nation's largest school districts. on the other end, 90% of kindergarteners hitting goals and new records, the highest ever sat scores for college bound students, record numbers of 5th and 8th graders performing higher level math and record amounts of scholarships awarded to students. all this with an increasing population of students who don't speak english or in poverty. >> with all of that and going through 9/11, 21 days of sniper, anthrax, two of the biggest snowstorms that ever hit in the county, electricity going off. we still raised scores. >> but it all costs more than it should have according to local critics. >> i think education is in trouble right now. >> special education services have left many behind and elizabeth is among parent watchdogs who relentless documented weast's spending on travel, public relations, and marketing. they criticize him for seeking grants to pay administrators for writing a curriculum in partnership with a consultant. the for profit firm has bought the rights from the county to market the curriculum nationwide in a no bid contract. >> when the focus becomes more about selling the brand and less focus on the kids, i think something gets lost. >> so not unexpectedly, weast leaves with a report card. it's a record card he has no problem defending. in rockville, scott broome, 9news now. and weast has no firm plans for what's next, he envisions himself in the nonprofit world. his retirement announcement comes on the same day dc and maryland were selected winners as the race to the top

morning in southwest. the walking school bus initiative promotes safe, healthy lifestyles as well as welcoming the kids back to school. >> most important thing that parents think about as they make the decision to send their children to dc schools every day is they are facing security and that is both inside the building for when they are in class, but also on their way to and from school every morning. >> students also involved in making it a safe walk, several of them are on safety patrol at intersections near the school. >> still ahead on 9news now, as university of virginia students head back to school. how the yeardley love murder changed life in the charlottesville campus for ever. the clouds kept temperatures in the 70s. look at this. 75 downtown. only 70 in gaithersburg and 73 in frederick. we'll come back. we'll talk about whether or not we'll see any rain for the nationals game tonight and the latest on hurricane danielle. it's primary day in five states and washington incumbents are making a comeback. i'm joe brown on capitol hill. the story coming up. kç1 voters in five states are headed to the polls for primary elections today and it's shaping up to be a good night for candidates backed by washington. joe brown joins us live from capitol hill to explain why that's a big change from some other recent primaries, joel. >> yeah, derek. primary season this far has been antiestablishment and antiwashington. but if the polls are right, it may be too early to count out the incumbents. tuesday's biggest primary races could prove being a washington insider still has its advantages. in arizona, the tea party hoped to oust senator john mccain, but the once self-described maverick ditched his campaign, and looks poised to beat his opponent, j.d. hayward. >> if you spend the money and work hard at it, you can survive. >> this year, many candidates used the strategy of distancing themselves from the washington establishment. but the insider label may not hurt alaska republican, lisa merkowsky. joe miller is trailing in the polls, even though he has the backing of sarah palin. >> come november, majorities in the house and senate will be up for grabs. tuesday leaders from both parties made the case for why theirs could be the one in control. >> it's time to put grownups in charge. it's time for people willing to accept the responsibility. >> for those good old days, but the american people are not. they don't want to go back. they want to move forward. >> president obama made his case on a coast to coast campaign swing last week supporting democrats in tough fights. but how much that support will help remains to be seen. a new poll released on primary day shows 52% of americans disapprove of the job he's doing. that's the lowest approval rating he's had since taking office. voter dissatisfaction with the economy is the ultimate election factor and as the party in power, democrats may suffer the most. derek. joel brown, thank you. >> the u.s. military says the number of american troops in iraq has now fallen below the 50,000 mark mandated by president barack obama. it is the lowest troop level in iraq since the 2003 u.s. led invasion and comes ahead of the august 31 deadline set by the president. under this plan, the u.s. forces in iraq will no longer conduct what are described as combat operations. they will concentrate on training iraqi forces. the agriculture department official who was forced out during a racial fire storm last month will not accept an invitation to come back to full- time work at the

take a little break and look at how i can be more helpful in the future. >> agriculture secretary, tom vilsack says shirley sherrod agreed to work in a consulting capacity to help usda improve its civil rights performance. she was forced out early this year when an excerpt by a speech showed her being insensitive. and there is breaking news out of california. this is a live picture of a wild fire just broken out in kern county right near bakersfield. the evacuations have been ordered for 200 homes, actually -- okay we lost that picture. this is not a wild fire, but out there where the wild fire is going on, temperatures are 100 degrees now or more. almost no humidity, so the fire is expected to spread very quickly. it is the biggest thing to hit miami since lebron james. it's a 9-foot whale and this afternoon it's been swimming all around the luxury yacht at the miami beach marina. he is young, no sign of mama anywhere, though. the coast guard says it is possible this young whale has been injured by a boat propel propeller and experts will try to check it out. this is video shot today of the 3 to 4-foot long beast. just yesterday, an alligator hunter set traps hoping to capture the reptile. didn't work, though. the 2 1/2 foot gator was found in the same area two weeks ago. someone believes someone bought the alligators as pets and released them when they got too big. the question now, of course, is how much bigger will they get? what happens? >> not something you expect to see. >> of course when it gets cold this winter, you'll have a problem. >> yeah, probably won't adapt too well. all right, i thought it was a nice day. we had some clouds, a couple sprinkles. with temperatures in the 70s in august, i think that is downright nice. if you don't like that, derek, i have great stuff for you in the seven-day. here's your forecast. the next three days, warmer tomorrow, more breaks in the clouds. a slight chance of a shower. 85 on thursday. still a very pleasant day. a weak cold front goes through and it may spawn a shower, but not much and look at friday. just great. sunshine, 81. derek, you get your stamp of approval. that's going to be a spectacular day. you break down tomorrow for you. 68, maybe a shower to start. 75 by lunchtime and 79 by evening. again, more breaks in the clouds and consequently warmer. now it may not look like a great night for baseball, but it is. mostly cloudy and comfortable. cubs were at the nationals. temperatures in the 70s across the board. winds out of the north at 10. look at the temperatures, still 73 downtown. 73 in college park. low 70s in beltsville. only 71 in rockville. and 74 in fairfax. now for tonight, we're going to keep it mostly cloudy and cool. a few showers possible. i wouldn't change your plan. low temperatures in the 60s and winds out of the north at 10. lows tonight, downtown we are talking mid to upper 60s. 66 downtown. 64 in college park and in bowie. 63 in rockville as you go up 270. and low 60s out toward leesburg and sterling. so a very comfortable night. now tomorrow morning, mostly cloudy and cool. a slight chance of a shower. we have to keep it in. temperatures in the 60s and 70s. winds turn northwesterly and by afternoon, mostly cloudy and still cool. slight chance of a shower. high 75 to 80. winds turn again out of the southwest at 10. that will help us break up some of these clouds and get rid of marine layers. we'll see more sunshine tomorrow. satellite picture, radar combined. most of the showers confined to virginia to the west of i-81 corridor. we had a couple sprinkles, but that is about it. and that kept temperatures down. the latest on danielle, by the way, today is the 18th anniversary of hurricane andrew hitting south florida and there's more on our website at wusa9.com. check on my blog. it looks like it's going to become a category 2. past to the east of bermuda. probably give them tropical storm forced winds, but east of bermuda, it's good news for us. bad news is there's a storm behind this one that might become more of a problem. next seven days, near 80 tomorrow. maybe a shower. then just feeling the word, great, spectacular. 90 on sunday. don't let the 90s scare you, it's going to be dry. it's going to be a beautiful, beautiful weekend and hanging around 90 monday and tuesday will not be a big deal. it is tuesday, isn't it? >> yes. best shot. >> i like flowers and stuff and steve did everything right. thank you, steve from arlington. this is right along the washington old dominion trail. >> it's

back of your mind. >> the body of uva lacrosse player, yeardley love was found in her apartment. students are required to take online training courses to combat domestic violence. uva is stepping up efforts to make students aware of campus resources and students must now disclose all prior arrests and convictions. love's accused killer, boyfriend, george huguely had previous run ins with the law that the university was unaware of. >> it's difficult to say that something positive can come out of the death of a young person. i think that certainly there is a greater awareness among students, educators, everyone about the need to be more vigilant. >> students like danielle mcgregor are taking it a step further. > back in the fall really ready to retain ownership of this community. >> i didn't want to get involved. so i did nothing. >> she and nearly 50 classmates launched the get grounded campaign. an effort to train thousands of students to be more responsible bystanders. last

hearing in the case is set for october 6. an unbelievable scene during the morning rush hour today. a dc public school bus up in flames while making its rounds picking up the kids. the children and everybody else on board did make it out safely, but as alex tells us, the residents are a bit shaken up over it. >> it was burnt to a crisp and i have never seen anything like that before. >> this public schools bus is destroyed after bursting into flames this morning. as the fire erupted, one thing went racing through loraine's mind. a handful of kids, parents, and a driver were on board. >> the passengers on the board and several adults and several children did evacuate safely prior to our arrival. no one was injured. >> the cause of the fire is under investigation. >> the investigators were called to the scene. an accidental fire, probably something mechanical. >> the engulfed school bus sent shock waves as residents could only watch, take pictures, and protect little ones. >> it is scary. >> the school bus was on fire. firefighters responded quickly. the problem many residents have seems barriers getting inside. so there was a bit of a challenge before they could put out the flames. >> kind of tight, right here. so they had to run with the hose all the way down. >> dc fire and ems crews were able to put out the fire in 15 minutes and for any parent, the most important end of the story is -- >> in southeast, alex, 9news now. >> we say it again, nobody hurt in that fire, but an investigation into what caused it is underway. work crews remain on the scene. the 6-inch main

over shot a runway, slammed into a field and burst into flames. the craft was carrying 100 people, but half of them have survived. 33 minors trapped deep underground in chile appear to be in good spirits. they sang their national anthem. a third is getting closer to completion. the rescuers have been supplying food, water, and medicine to the men through those holes who have been able to survive for 2 1/2 weeks on just two spoonfuls of tuna, a sip of milk, and a biscuit every 48 hours. a rescue tunnel is supposed to take months to reach them. los angeles is home to some of the biggest stars, the flashiest cash cars and the most expensive public school. the robert f. kennedy community school costs $578 million to build. the k through 12th grade school has a theater, a public park, a swimming pool, and other amenities for the 4200 students. it opens next month and built on the site of the ambassador hotel. that's where robert f. kennedy was assassinated in 1968. coming up next, a

people, when they get a denture, they think the best way to clean it is by brushing it with toothpaste. toothpaste contains abrasives that scratch dentures, leaving microscopic crevices where bacteria can grow, and bacteria can cause bad breath. the best way to go is to soak them in polident. only polident is proven to clean without scratching and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria. i recommend using polident and soak every day. it's the right way to go. caught on tape. one horrible highway crash. it happened yesterday near dayton, ohio. if you look to the left. a sports car zooms past a

gray haired lady petting the cat and she looked around, opens the top, throws the cat into the super can. now the cat named lola was trapped for some 15 hours before owners heard her cries. police are now looking for the lady who is obviously not a cat person. >> clearly not. she could have just let it go. we have another gator story. before it was chicago, now we're in new york city where a couple found a 2-foot long alligator hiding under their car. animal control officers removed the reptile. they aren't sure how the gator got there. >> she said there's an alligator loose. i said all right. i thought it was a joke. >> i think somebody had it as a pet and mom or dad said no way and they dumped it out on the curb. >> what's it out with throwing out the pets? >> it is illegal to keep pet alligators in new york city. animal control said the animal will go to a reptile sanctuary. probably a lot better than queens. >> so cute. time to get another check on our evening rush hour with patranya. >> no gator problem here on 495. a lot of traffic on the north side of town. you are seeing all the delays. delays begin at university. and i've been telling you about the delays on 95
