PANDA UPDATE-OC

ZOO OFFICIALS IN WASHINGTON ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY A PANDA CUB DIED.

IT LIVED FOR ONLY SIX DAYS.

PANDA UPDATE-PKG

This two month old panda born and thriving at the san diego zoo.

NAT/SOT -SQUEAK

is what they hoped for at the national zoo when its panda was born last week.

SOT Dennis Kelly, director, Smithsonian's National Zoo

THESE BEARS ARE SO CRITICALLY ENDANGERED THAT EVERY PANDA CUB IS IMPORTANT.

but on Sunday, zookeepers heard the cub's mother, may shong, cry in distress.

SOT-- HONK

her cub. just four ounces. the size of stick of butter. was dead.

for years, zookeepers have tried to help may shong conceive.

but the odds are low.

and the mortality rate in captivity is high. 18 percent.

SOT

THEY'RE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES, SO HAVING THE CAPTIVE POPULATION IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR THE WILD POPULATION.

today, only 16-hundred giant pandas live in the wild in central and southern China.

but whether free or in captivity mating is not easy for these charismatic creatures.

they are by nature loners. living on their own.

and the females are only able to get pregnant once a year. in a short fertility window.lasting just 24 to 72 hours.

many zoos use artificial insemination.

SOT

IT'S SUCH A SHORT WINDOW TO YOU HAVE TO GET THE FEMALE PREGNANT. AN INTENSIVE EFFORT, WE WORK VERY HARD DURING THAT TIME TO MONITOR HORMONES AND ALL OF THAT TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH A PREGNANCY.

in just a week of life, the female cub clearly touched many.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A steady stream of thin clouds moving in from the Gulf will produce some cloud complications through our Tuesday, dimming the sunlight a bit and only allowing partial sunshine. On the brighter side, humidity will stay at lower levels for one more day, so the air won't be quite as humid as what we're used to this time of year.

Even though we expect a considerable amount of clouds around today, it doesn't look like these clouds will be accompanied by much rain. In fact, our atmosphere continues to stay fairly dry and stable, so rain chances will stay rather low through our Tuesday. We'll mention the potential for one or two isolated showers, but most spots will stay dry until rain chances kick into higher gear Wednesday.

Temperatures will be a little lower today with our sunshine somewhat limited, so look for afternoon highs to only climb into the mid to upper 80s. Tonight's temperatures will be fairly pleasant with lows expected to cool into the low 70s.

BANK FEES RISING-VO IN PLASMA

A NEW SURVEY FINDS CONSUMERS FACING MORE "FEE" THAN "FREE" WHEN IT COMES TO BANKING AND CHECKING SERVICES.

DESPITE A CONTINUED RISE IN THOSE FEES,

THERE ARE WAYS TO CUT THOSE COSTS.

BANK FEES RISING-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

ACCORDING TO AN ANNUAL LOOK AT BANKING FEES BY BANKRATE-DOT-COM, AMERICANS ARE PAYING MORE TO USE THEIR MONEY.

We continue to see an increase in monthly service charges for checking accounts. With a decline in free checking, not only are more accounts charging a monthly fee, but the fees themselves are moving higher, both interest and non-interest checking accounts.

THE BANKRATE SURVEY FOUND A-T-M SURCHARGES FOR A BANK'S NON-CUSTOMERS ROSE 4 PERCENT OVER LAST YEAR.

THE AVERAGE OVERDRAFT FEE, UP 1-POINT-FOUR PERCENT.

AND THE AVERAGE MONTHLY FEE FOR A CHECKING ACCOUNT, UP 25 PERCENT.

THAT'S WHILE THE PERCENTAGE OF FREE CHECKING ACCOUNTS SHRUNK TO 39 PERCENT, WAY OFF A PEAK OF 76 PERCENT IN 2009.

THE GOOD NEWS, MOST FEES CAN BE AVOIDED, WHETHER IT'S MORE DISCIPLINE WHEN CHOOSING AN A-T-M, OR - IN THE CASE OF MANY CHECKING ACCOUNTS, MAINTAINING A MINIMUM MONTHLY BALANCE.

OTHERWISE, A BANK SWITCH MAY BE IN ORDER.

There are still plenty of smaller community banks, credit unions, and online banks that continue to offer those stand-alone free checking accounts.

JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT SMALLER BANKS MAY NOT HAVE THE FULL RANGE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES, LIKE LOANS, MORTGAGES AND MORE.

HELLO EVERYONE.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PICK UP YOUR MAIL AT THE LOCAL 7 ELEVEN?

BUT THIS ISN'T YOUR USUAL POST OFFICE BOX.

LOCKERS, COURTESY OF AMAZON -

KEEPING YOUR PACKAGES FROM SITTING AT THE DOOR STEP.

AMAZON LOCKERS-TRX PKG

7-ELEVEN IS DELIVERING MORE THAN SLURPEE'S THESE DAYS.

IN FACT YOU COULD GET YOUR NEXT PACKAGE FROM AMAZON AT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCE STORE.

"It's real easy. All they do is punch in a code number and it opens right up for them."

TONY KHWAJA IS TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZON LOCKER IN THE BACK OF HIS 7-ELEVEN STORE. PAST THE HOT DOGS AND THE BIG GULPS. ARE MORE THAN 40 INDIVIDUAL LOCKERS WHERE YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR NEXT AMAZON ORDER. FROM CAMERAS AND LAPTOPS TO SHOES AND SWEATERS.

"They get the code right from amazon, they come and type in their own code right here. The locker opens automatically for them, they grab their stuff."

SO WHAT'S BEHIND AMAZON PLACING THESE METAL LOCKERS IN GROCERY, DRUG AND CONVENIENCE STORES. MUCH OF IT, IS PIECE OF MIND. A PACKAGE ON A FRONT STEP CAN BE A TEMPTATION FOR THIEVES.

"Security is a big appeal as well as peace of mind for consumers saying, you know what, I don't have the pressure now that I have to be home between 9 and 5 PM. I can have it delivered, I have this special pass code and I'll get it when I'm ready."

AN ORDER THAT STARTS ON A COMPUTER. GETS LEFT OUT IN THE OPEN. THIS WAY CUSTOMERS CAN PUNCH IN THEIR CODE AND PULL OUT THEIR ORDER WHEN IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR THEM.

"I think it's a brilliant idea and more than any other company out there, Amazon had a real need to do this."

"Now you are limited to what you can have delivered to your Amazon locker. Now bigger than about 11 by 11, and no heavier than 10 pounds."

AMAZON FIRST STARTED USING THESE LOCKERS IN SEATTLE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. NOW A GROWING NUMBER ARE SHOWING UP IN WASHINGTON D-C, NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE. AND TONY KHWAJA SAYS YOU CAN'T BEAT THE HOURS.

"Adult female acne is a lot tougher to treat than child because it's chronic and leaves dark spots."

30-PERCENT OF HIS PATIENTS ARE WOMEN- THAT'S UP BY TEN PERCENT IN RECENT MONTHS. THE DOCTOR SAYS HORMONES CAN CREATE MORE PIMPLES , BUT ALSO SELF-ESTEEM IMAGES ARE BRINGING THESE "MOMS" IN.

"Typical acne patient gets three drugs at a time. You are looking at one-thousand dollars a month if you pay cash. With your insurance, it's 30 a month."

"If your acne doesn't require prescription medicine, there are a couple options over the counter. You can buy this kit at a dermatologist office that includes cleanser, toner and moisturizer for 100 dollars cash. If you go to your local grocery store, and buy three similar products that will cost you as little as 15 bucks."

IT'S ONE THING TO SEND YOUR 4-YEAR- OLD SON'S FAVORITE TOY TRAIN INTO THE STRATOSPHERE.

That's right. it's not presidential to lose your head in space.

Obama lost his head.

THEY FOUND IT THERE IN THE MUDFLATS.

Yeah we got down to the boxer shorts. Got a little muddy.

BUT SEAN DABEL ISN'T A MUDSLINGER AGAINST OBAMA. A GROUP OF AROUND 8 SUPPORTERS LAUNCHED THE PRESIDENTIAL BOBBLEHEAD TO RAISE MONEY FOR HIM, PUTTING THE FLIGHT TO THE MUSIC FROM ET.

THE IDEA WAS TO PROMOTE YARD SALES FOR OBAMA NOTE THE BOBBLEHEAD'S PICKET FENCE. THE YARD SALES, WHERE SUPPORTERS SOLD THEIR STUFF, RAISED ONLY A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS, BUT BOBBLEHEAD OBAMA WAS RAISED 100,000 FEET. A HELIUM BALLOON LIFTED A PLATFORM WHICH HELD THE CAMERAS AND BOBBLEHEAD.

UP THEY WENT ABOVE THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE, THROUGH THE CLOUDS, AND THEN WITH THE EARTH'S CURVATURE BEHIND HIM.

THE HELIUM BALLOON BURST AS EXPECTED AT THAT ALTITUDE. A PARACHUTE DEPLOYED AND THE BOBBLEHEAD FLOATED TO EARTH LANDING 30 MILES FROM THE LAUNCHSITE.

5 TIMES THEY LAUNCHED BOBBLEHEAD OBAMA, SEVERAL MISSIONS WERE FLOPS, ONE LANDED IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

NATURALLY THEY MADE MODIFICATIONS TO ADD BUOYANCY.
