The number of elderly people hospitalized with flu-like illnesses also has spiked. That's according to the Centers for Disease Control. Thirty states now report high levels of the flu. It's increasing because that's six more than last week and for the first time, California is on the list. We could see some big crowds at gun stores today. Gun rights advocates and some conservative groups are calling today gun appreciation day. They're urging people to show up at gun stores and gun ranges all across the country to show their support for owning guns. They're upset about President Obama's efforts to boost gun control measures after last month's shooting at Sandy Hook. Let's go back to Randi now in Washington.</s>KAYE: And I have good news, Victor, things are warming up here on the Mall. That's the good news, probably about 40, almost 50 degrees maybe out here.
