though he's probably linked to several of those stabbings, as you mentioned, in michigan and then one in ohio just this past saturday. now here is a description of the suspect. this was released last week in michigan. police released it. but it is the same description as here in leesberg of this suspect. a white male, with a muscular build. witnesses here in leesberg say he's about 6 feet tall. investigators say the man stabbed two people and attacked another with a hammer on the streets of leesberg, starting last tuesday. the latest attack though, was on friday. and two of the people are still in the hospital. police believe the same man stabbed 13 people around flint, michigan, over the past couple of months, five of them died. witnesses say the vehicle he was driving in michigan is similar to the one you can see here. it's a 1995-2000 chevy blazer, two-tone, dark green on the top and a beige or white bottom. and it is similar, this is not the exact vehicle we are talking about here. they are still trying to figure out why he chose leesberg. they simply don't know. but residents and police are definitely on the lookout. >> i don't know where this guy is. he might as well be like the sniper in d.c. because he just jumps out of nowhere and stabs people for no reason. >> we have no information at this point to say he's either still here or he has fled. we are continuing our operations as if he is still here. >> reporter: and police are telling me they have continued to step up patrols, adding additional officers to the shifts as wellch and from what we understand, they

the meeting with optimism. >> this afternoon demonstrated the metro board to listen to the board's recommendation and already today we've heard a number of commitments about progress that will be meet on ntsb recommendations. this is an excellent opportunity for a frank and honest and open -- dialogue and i think every rider about benefit from it. >> peter sarles said the agency is committed to following the ntsb recommendations. they said metro was making changes before the ntsb report was released last month but he does caution that the time some actions will take cannot be hurried. >> one of the recommendations was our very oldest rail cars that constitute about a quarter of our fleet, so that's a lot of people who ride in those during the rush hour, are ones that the national transportation safety board deemed to be unsafe and said we should withdraw them and remace them as soon as possible. we have already ordered the replacement cars. that's something the board did a couple of months ago. and those are on order but it will take three years or so before they arrive because you don't go to your local dealer and get one off the lot, they have to be built. >> and mr.

crowd. >> hello, austin. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: the white house has the president on double duty, like yesterday when his education speech at the university of texas was quickly followed by a party fundraiser with mid-term elections right around the corner. >> now we have three months to go and so we've decided, well we can politic for three months, they've forgotten i know how to politic very good. >> reporter: but when the president arrived in texas, he was greeted by the republican governor, whose democratic opponent was nowhere to be seen. >> when barack obama shows up in your state he has air force one and basically bringing washington to the rescue. and if you're a democrat right now, you don't want washington coming to the et cetera coup. >> reporter: democratic candidates in close rates are happy to have the president open wallets and he's been effective as a fundraiser, ririe lying on -- relying on beating up on the bush administration. >> i know republicans say he just wants to bash the previous administration and he's looking to -- backwards, trying to not take the -- take the focus off the tough economic sut eyation that's a lot of people are feeling. no, no, no, the reason we're focused on it is because the other side isn't offering anything new. >> reporter: and we'll get some idea how all of this is playing out today. there are statewide elections in four states. connecticut, colorado, minnesota and georgia. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. it is a realignment of defense funds. >> and the budget changes at the pentagon could leave thousands of virginians out of a job. we'll complain. plus kids don't just seem to good growing up faster, according to a new study, they actually are. some girls hitting puberty as early as 7 or 8 years old. we'll talk with a doctor next about the dangers of such development. we'll be back in a moment. it's 9:10. ten term california congresswoman maxine waters is formally facing charges from a ethics panel. she's accused of three counts of breaking u.s. house rules for helping a bank in which her husband was a stockholder get access to top treasury officials. she's denied the charges. this is another blow to democrats. charlie rangel is also facing charges from the house ethics panel. virginia is going to lose thousands of jobs with the pentagon's new budget cuts. the defense secretary robert gates is slashing the defense budget by $100 billion over the next five years. the biggest single cut is shutting down the joint forces command in norfolk, virginia. nearly 6,000 people work there. gates said he recognizes the pain this will cause for some families. >> i know these changes will likely mean real hardship for displaced employees and their families. i expect this effort to recommend cutting at least 50 general and flag officer positions and 150 senior and civilian executive positions over the next two years. >> mark warner issued a statement saying, quote, i can see no national basis for dismantling jf com and forcing more cooperation among sometimes competing military services. allison. many parents say their kids grow up so fast and they are right. according to a new study, more and more girls are hitting puberty at a very early age. joining us live in studio this morning to talk about perhaps why is dr. paul gundtoff he is the director of the fertility center at the george washington medical facility associates and we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thank you, allison. >> we've all noticed this, especially parents of girls, that it seems our girls are reaching puberty and by that some breast development and other thing that's go along with puberty earlier. we're talking about a study that came out that said as early as 7 years old. what are the headlines? and this is nothing new to you. you've written papers about this some two decades ago. >> right. >> now it's coming out. what do you have to say about the study and what do parents need to know or hear about this? >> i think there are two issuesch one is it's really happening and the second is what does the study or the impact of the study? and there is definitely a decrease in the age of the onset of puberty. and puberty is a dynamic process and it's not just one event. there is breast changes, the onset of menses, growth spurts, pubic hair development and all of the things are happening in a sequence. and the onset of the sequence begins with a combination of growth changes and breast budding. but the beginning of menstruation is the hallmark of puberty. and studies in the literature are there for over 100 years, there is the compilation of data showing that the age of the onset of menstrual cycles is beginning earlier and earlier. for example 100 years ago the average age was 17, now it's about 11 for the onset of menstruation. and breast budding occurs approximately one and a half to two years earlier than that. so by scrap race -- scrap olation, it is normal, but the average is changing and that's been changing. if you look at the curves over the past 50 years, there is a drop and then there is a plateau and then a drop again. i think perhaps we've been in a plateau for the last 10-15 years and now we're observing another swall decrease again in age. and it's absolutely due to our environment, our nutrition, the body mass index. it's segway perfectly with our first lady michelle obama's chi and the concerns she's bringing to our attention. >> the author said they couldn't pinpoint any one thing but did cite what you were saying. he's talking more about genes and the environment being a factor. you have talked about the -- what you just said, the first lady's pet project, childhood obesity is lending itself to this? >> that is the main variable. if you look at the study just released, there was a -- excuse me -- there was an increase in the mass index, in the body mass index in the girls who began to men straight or had onset of budding earlier. so it's related to the bmi, body mass index. >> some things we can control. we can control the exercise and foods our kids eat, but if this is happening now, already, nature has already started to take its course. and i would imagine. and what advice would you give parents of girls who are experiencing this way too early? >> well if you look at the physiology of puberty, one begins puberty because the brain turns on the pitu terri gland, which in turn stimulates the ovary and that will allow menstruation to occur. the key is that the brain is under the influence of the environment and neurotransmitters change in the brain by environmental stress, exercise and nutrition. so we're back to our environment. the trigger points are set differently. there is a critical weight and height that every young girl has to meet to start men strew ating. and they can start that early. and the bmi, mass index, is reached earlier in our young adults, our children, simply because they are not exercising enough, they are more sedentary, more fat is in the diet, childhood obesity is an ep dep -- epidemic. >> and the down side of dealing with all of this at an extremely young age is there are higher risk factors for things like breast cancer and depression because a young child is not equipped to of other peopling thinking of them older, there is a cause and effect, chain reaction and how we can re -- prevent it. >> and if you look historically, there has been a change in puberty for over 100 years before changes in our environment with toxins, with plastic bottles, with chemicals, with herbs, with supplements, even with the fat content in our diet. and it's about nutrition. nutrition helps move the age down from 17 to 11. now it's moving lower. now we're seeing a potential issue, we have to end it there, doctor. it's hard to know what to do but at least we know why it's happening. thank you. >> thank you for having me on. >> tony oar -- over to you. one woman, the extreme she went to when a mcdonald's couldn't deliver her mcnuggets. plus holly is going green by working out. holly. >> reporter: i know, as if one workout is enough. we're doing two this morning. we've moved over to a spinning class. and anybody can do a regular spinning class, tony. we are doing a green spinning class where they are literally turning calories into kilowatts. we'll explain live from the washington sports club in columbia heights later. we have a big-ticket giveaway. five pairs of tickets to see the jonas brothers with demi lovato. answer the trivia question on your screen. kevin jonas goes by his middle name. so what is his first name?

and it is brutally hot and you have to get conditioned some way and this is the way to do it. mike shanahan has put a premium on conditioning, ask albert haynesworth, and the guys are working in the

time to ask me a question. fire away and i'll do my best. >> these are questions from viewers. i don't know who is choosing the questions. i suspect you already chose this one yourself, dave? erica wants to know, in your estimation, dave ross, is donovan mcnabb a hall of famer? >> that's an excellent question. very interesting one. but here is the deal, tony. if you have to ask the question, then i think you already know the answer, which means no? right? to me a haller of famer, russ grimm, four superbowl titles. emmitt smith, jerry rice has broken just about every receiving record you can ask to break and he's done that and so therefore i say right now the body of work for one d. mcnabb is not enough to get him into the hall. good resume, five nfc title appearances and one superbowl appearance and no wins. but i think, tony, it's still incomplete. he can still get there, but if you're asking me right now, erica, i would say no, he's not a hall of famer. if we wins one superbowl, you put him in. he has great numbers. but he still has to win. i know dan moreno is in and he didn't win a superbowl. i don't think the careers are parallel right now. you can't make that comparison, i don't think. if he wins one, i put him in. but right now i don't. >> i agree. he hasn't won the big one and he has to do that. and luckily, he's with the redskins so i guess he'll do it with us. >> reporter: and let's say he does one one here and goes into the hall of fame, does he wear a redskins jersey or an eagles jersey? >> oh, would you. >> reporter: if he won it here, i think you have to make the debate that he would wear burgundy and gold. >> i hope we have that issue to determine later on. that would be great. >> reporter: that's a good debate to have some day, my friend. >> we appreciate it. we'll talk to you soon. >> that was a good question. >> i think john elway was in his late 30s when he won his first superbowl with the broncos. so there is still hope. >> there is still time. going to be hot out there. >> and tony was staying, and dave too, that they are in pull pads -- full pads. i don't know how they are doing it. >> and you have to do it. and you might as well do it in the heat because it could happen in a game. >> and it's dangerous conditions out there. a lot of humidity as well. let's get to it. we'll talk temperatures. it's not only here in washington. it's the whole southeast of the united states that has been experiencing unusually warm temperatures. 83 at reagan national. it's only 9:30 in the morning. so it's hot out there. 81 in

before we were so rudely interrupted, tell me about the green revolution. >> reporter: why don't you run and turn the stereo off because i think our equipment is interfering with your equipment. so turn that down. and now come back and tell me about the green revolution and we'll try this. >> all right. >> reporter: i have another idea. let's do this, because i think maybe the problem has to be with every time our camera comes closer so let's show this bike instead. see how we adjust on the fly. maybe not. maybe you can show a bike over there. no, mike, you say with me. this is how it will work. if you stay with me and mike you go and show a bike over there, i think when you come closer to us, you're the problem. okay. so you explain this bike and he'll show that bike over there how it works. >> so this is called green revolution and creates renewable energy for the environment and reduced the carbon footprint and you have this panel here which you use to increase and decrease resistance for the bike. >> reporter: so you see the start button and then there is a dimmer button below in case w seeing what you are doing. >> that's correct. >> reporter: and then the increase to increase the intensity. >> that's right. >> reporter: is this helping to power the gym? >> yes. the energy that is produced goes into this grid in the corner and converts back out into the gym. >> reporter: so now we're not only working out, we're helping the environment, we're helping all of those people out there working out. so if you don't have enough spin classes, does everything go dark? >> no, it does not. >> reporter: so you get up on there and you can turn your music back up and you stay over there. this is really a science experiment. it is turning into that. and we'll see how this works. okay. chandra, lead us through it. >> here we go. resistance between 5 and 8. between 5 and 8. >> reporter: okay, between 5 and 8. >> increase that speed. increase that speed. give me a sprint. 15 seconds. sprint it out. >> reporter: if i ride faster here, does the treadmill go faster out there? >> no. >> reporter: i was trying to get somebody else to up their intensity out there? >> no: the high resistance in your bike produces more watts, which is good and it goes into the grid. >> reporter: it means the power on the treadmill will last longer? >> no, the treadmill does not go faster. and then 15 seconds, sprint it out. >> reporter: myfoxdc.com is our website. we have a link to the washington sports club. now remember the green revolution is only here at the columbia heights location. so if you want to check it out, do that. also don't forget they are having free zumba through august at all of the different locations at different times to check it out if you want. stay with us, we have more fox 5 coming up after the break. come on, people, let me see it.
