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.

After a day of sunshine and comfortable humidity levels, moisture will return to Southwest Florida on our Wednesday.

Through the mid day hours, clouds will continue to thicken up across the area, keeping our skies mostly cloudy through the afternoon. This will keep our temperatures a bit lower compared to yesterday's high of 89°, while many of us top out in the middle 80s. A few scattered showers are possible as we head into the late afternoon/early evening hours, however the rain will not be widespread and any rain that develops will more than likely come to an end after sunset.

Tonight, clouds will linger across Southwest Florida with a couple of leftover showers as lows settle into the lower 70s by morning.

Thursday will offer more sunshine across the area as the clouds exit to the east and our atmosphere begins to dry out. Expect mostly sunny skies and a mainly dry weather pattern with highs closing in on the upper 80s. Partly sunny skies will continue through our Friday, but with just enough moisture an isolated shower or two can't be ruled out during the afternoon and early evening hours.

The remnants of a weak front will wash out across Southwest Florida on Saturday continuing the chance for a couple of showers and storms. High pressure building in across the southeast and mid Atlantic states will be in control of our weather through the early part of the week, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the middle to upper 80s as rain prospects remain next to none.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS -- WHEN USERS OF THE APP WALK INTO A STORE, A CAMERA SCANS THEIR FACE.

FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE THEN MATCHES THAT SCAN WITH THE PERSON'S FACEBOOK PROFILE.

AND A COUPON GETS SENT TO THAT PERSON'S SMARTPHONE, BASED ON THEIR ONLINE INTERESTS.

People are checking in using Facebook and foursquare already. We're just making it more intuitive for them to check in.

TIM MCMULLEN IS THE CEO OF RED PEPPER -- THE COMPANY DEVELOPING THE FACEDEAL APP.

the platform's being developed to being as secure as any other platform you'd give information to.

SECURITY MEASURES INCLUDE:

-THE USES OF A "DOUBLE-OPT-IN" SYSTEM. MEANING YOU HAVE TO CONFIRM YOUR CONSENT A MULTIPLE TIMES

- AND *YOU* GRANT THE APPLICATION ACCESS TO YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE

STILL WE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT OF THE FACE SCANNING DEAL-MAKER.

"It's not something I'd opt into and even if I were to, it's not something I'd want to get out of the blue. It's an invasion of privacy more so than anything else."

"That's what Facebook is for. It's for people to know. It's the social network. So, I've got it there for a reason. Evidently I've got it there for people to know. I think I would enjoy that very much."

"I think that's way too high tech for someone like me. I think if it was printed somewhere or email, I might print it out and take it with me. But if it's something scanning my face, I might be a little intimidated and walk away." Return to index of stories...

HELLO EVERYONE!

I'M STACEY DEFFENBAUGH.

I'M HEATHER TURCO.

IS THE H-P-V VACCINE TO PREVENT CERVICAL CANCER SAFE?

IT'S BEEN A TOPIC OF DEBATE EVER SINCE THE C-D-C RECCOMMENDED ALL CHILDREN GET THE VACCINE STARTING AT AGE 11.

DOCTOR BRUCE HENSEL REPORTS. Return to index of stories...


HPV VACCINE-PKG


ALONDRA ZALOMAN GOT HER HPV VACCINE SHOTS FOUR YEARS AGO, WHEN SHE WAS 13.

"I decided to get it, because it was for my own good."

THE CDC RECOMMENDS THAT ALL CHILDREN GET THE HPV VACCINE STARTING AT AGE 11. BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS… TO PROTECT THEM AGAINST A NUMBER OF CANCERS… BEFORE THEY BECOME SEXUALLY ACTIVE.

THIS HAS CAUSED SOME BACKLASH… AND EVEN BECAME AN ISSUE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES.

"Little girls who have a negative reaction to this potentially dangerous drug don't get a mulligan, they don't get a do-over."

NOW, A LARGE STUDY OUT OF KAISER PERMANENTE LOOKS AT THE SAFETY OF THE VACCINE.

RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT THE RECORDS OF 200,000 GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN WHO RECEIVED GARDISIL, THE HPV VACCINE… THEY FOUND THAT THE VACCINE WAS SAFE.

"HPV is protective and is generally a good thing to do and a safe thing to do for your children."

RESEARCHERS DID FIND THAT THOSE WHO GOT THE SHOTS WERE SIX TIMES MORE LIKELY TO FAINT THE DAY OF THE VACCINATION… THAT'S ABOUT 24 OUT OF A THOUSAND PEOPLE HAD THAT KIND OF REACTION…

ALSO, THEY FOUND THAT PATIENTS WERE 1.75 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE A SKIN INFECTION IN THE TWO WEEKS AFTER THE VACCINATION.

OTHER THAN THOSE TWO MINOR SYMPTOMS, THE RESEARCHERS DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS OF SIGNIFICANCE, WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER VACCINATION.

"The bottom line is that it is beneficial to give your child the HPV."

ALONDRA SAYS SHE DIDN'T GET ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE SHOT AND IS GLAD SHE IS PROTECTED.

"I believe it's worth it, and everyone should get it." Return to index of stories...

FACEBOOK HAS BEEN BUSY "FRIENDING" REPUBLICANS THIS ELECTION.

THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY SO FAR HAS CONTRIBUTED $140,000 TO REPUBLICANS COMPARED WITH $127,000 TO DEMOCRATS, ACCORDING TO A CNNMONEY REVIEW OF FEDERAL RECORDS.

FACEBOOK HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE POLITICAL PLAYER EVEN BEFORE IT WENT PUBLIC IN MAY.IT CREATED A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITEE LAST YEAR.

POLITICS COULD PLAY A BIG ROLE IN FACEBOOK'S BUSINESS. ANY NEW LEGISLATION PREVENTING FACEBOOK FROM COLLECTING AND USING MEMBERS' INFORMATION COULD HURT THE COMPANY'S PROFITS.

THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT IS NOT ALONE. MICROSOFT, CISCO AND E-BAY ALSO CONTRIBUTED MORE TO REPUBLICANS THIS ELECTION SEASON. OVERALL, THE TECH INDUSTRY HAS DOLED OUT ABOUT $330,000 MORE TO REPUBLICANS THAN TO DEMOCRATS.

WHILE FACEBOOK WILL NOT DISCUSS ITS CORPORATE POLITICAL GIVING, a COMPANY SPOKESMAN SAYS FACEBOOK SUPPORTS CANDIDATES WHO PROMOTE INNOVATION.

BUT FACEBOOK EMPLOYEES HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW. THE CENTER FOR RESPONSIVE POLITICS REPORTs THAT PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FACEBOOK workers HEAVILY FAVORED DEMOCRATS.

"We have basil, we have habaneros. we have oregano."

IT'S AN ORDINARY GARDEN. WITH ONE EXCEPTION. IT'S IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK.

"It's interesting when we drive down the road."

BUT THIS MOBILE MENU IS ON A MISSION TO EDUCATE KIDS AND ADULTS ABOUT GARDENING.

"You can grow in anything. sun, soil, water, air is all you need. As you see by our truck."

MARISA LANGFORD FIRST SAW A TRUCK FARM IN CHICAGO. IT'S BASED ON A DOCUMENTARY.

"I was so impressed by what it was, what it looked like and I said I really want to bring this to Tampa."

IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR TO PURCHASE THE TRUCK, GET SPONSORS AND ULTIMATELY PLANT THE TRUCK. ONE OF THOSE PARTNERS IS CHIPOTLE

"It aligns well with what we're trying to do with food with integrity and our cultivate platform and changing the way eats and thinks about fast food."

ALL THIS MONTH, TRUCK FARM TAMPA WILL BE AT VARIOUS CHIPOTLE RESTAURANTS FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND FREE FOOD FOR THE KIDS.

NEXT MONTH THE TRUCK FARM TRUCKS IT TO OPEN AIR MARKETS.

"The truck farm is not only bringing the fresh vegetables but it's also helping to promote the education of growing food."

TO GROW FOOD, TRUCK FARM USES SPECIAL MESH BAGS CALLED SOCKS TO HOLD THE SOIL.

"Which also means they hold all the nutrients they retain all the water, but also it's made out of a mesh material so that the water will also drain through."

MARISA WANTS TO TAKE TRUCK FARM INTO SCHOOLS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A GARDEN. TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE FOOD WE EAT.

"We want to get their hands dirty, so we'll do a planting activity."

A TEACHING TOOL ON WHEELS TO DRIVE HOME THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY EATING. Return to index of stories...

FALL FOILAGE BUSINESS-2 SHOT


WELCOME BACK!

FALL FOLIAGE SEASON CAN MAKE OR BREAK BUSINESSES WHO RELY ON TOURISM.

SO HOW DOES THIS YEAR SHAPE UP?

FALL FOILAGE BUSINESS-PKG


NOTHING SAYS FALL IN CONNECTICUT LIKE A SPECTACULAR MAPLE TREE IN FRONT OF A WHITE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. OR A TRIP TO THE ICONIC CORNWALL BRIDGE.

THIS FALL'S PLEASANT WEATHER HAS MEANT A PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR LITCHFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS OWNERS.

S/ Russell Sawicki / Wandering Moose Cafe

"Business has been fantastic it's beautiful out there. we're right next to the Housatonic River with the covered bridge it's just fantastic."

AT THE WANDERING MOOSE CAFE IT'S BEEN THE BUSIEST FALL SEASON IN YEARS. VISITORS TO THE COVERED BRIDGE HAVE BEEN STOPPING HERE IN DROVES LIKE THIS FAMILY FROM TEXAS.

S/ Cheryl Fox / Dallas, Texas

"The covered bridges the leaves we only have green and brown leaves."

THE NEWLY RENOVATED LITCHFIELD INN HAS BEEN BOOKED SOLID THIS FALL.

S/ Kathleen Waldman / General Manager Litchfield Inn

"This year has been an awesome year compared to last year."

AND WHEN VISITORS FROM NEW JERSEY OR PENNSYLVANIA COME TO LITCHFIELD COUNTY THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY THROUGHOUT THE HILLS INCLUDING AT VINEYARDS LIKE HAIGHT-BROWN.

S/ Jacques Muratori / Co-Owner Haight-Brown Vineyard

"I think if anything else it's going to be one of the best years for turnout of people and the weather's been great we can't complain about that."

THE LEAVES TURNED ABOUT 1-2 WEEKS FASTER THAN THEY DID LAST YEAR.WHICH IS JUST ABOUT AVERAGE. FOR RESTAURANTS, INNS, AND ATTRACTIONS IN THE NORTHWEST HILLS FALL FOLIAGE SEASON IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE YEAR.

S/ Russell Sawicki / Wandering Moose Cafe

"This gets us right through the winter. if it's a bad foliage season it's a struggle through the winter."

THE VIEWS OF THE ROLLING PASTURES IN WARREN OR FROM THE SUMMIT OF MOHWAWK MOUNTAIN IN CORNWALL RARELY DISAPPOINT. BUT THIS YEAR THEY MAY BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN USUAL BEFORE THE WINDS BRING IN WINTER'S CHILL.

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.

After a day of sunshine and comfortable humidity levels, moisture will return to Southwest Florida on our Wednesday.

Through the mid day hours, clouds will continue to thicken up across the area, keeping our skies mostly cloudy through the afternoon. This will keep our temperatures a bit lower compared to yesterday's high of 89°, while many of us top out in the middle 80s. A few scattered showers are possible as we head into the late afternoon/early evening hours, however the rain will not be widespread and any rain that develops will more than likely come to an end after sunset.

Tonight, clouds will linger across Southwest Florida with a couple of leftover showers as lows settle into the lower 70s by morning.

Thursday will offer more sunshine across the area as the clouds exit to the east and our atmosphere begins to dry out. Expect mostly sunny skies and a mainly dry weather pattern with highs closing in on the upper 80s. Partly sunny skies will continue through our Friday, but with just enough moisture an isolated shower or two can't be ruled out during the afternoon and early evening hours.

The remnants of a weak front will wash out across Southwest Florida on Saturday continuing the chance for a couple of showers and storms. High pressure building in across the southeast and mid Atlantic states will be in control of our weather through the early part of the week, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the middle to upper 80s as rain prospects remain next to none.

SLEEP DIET-CLIP VO IN PLASMA


A NEW KIND OF WEIGHT LOSS DIET IS MAKING HEADLINES.

THE SLEEP DIET.

RESEARCHERS UNCOVER WHY A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP CAN BE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS FOOD OR EXERCISE.

MARION BROOKS REPORTS. Return to index of stories...


SLEEP DIET-PKG


RESEARCHER MATTHEW BRADY AND HIS TEAM ARE THE FIRST TO DISCOVER HOW SLEEP AFFECTS FAT CELLS.

NORMALLY, MANY OF US WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF FAT CELLS.

BUT BRADY SAYS OUR FAT CELLS, ALONG WITH INSULIN, ACTUALLY PERFORM THE IMPORTANT JOB OF STORING AND BURNING BODY FAT.

AND HE SAYS IT'S THAT JOB THAT BECOMES COMPROMISED IN VOLUNTEERS WHO GOT JUST FOUR AND A HALF HOURS OF SLEEP AT NIGHT FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

"We were surprised at how quickly we got such a robust effect. I mean four nights at four and a half hours in bed we kind of think is real world, I mean, you're cramming for finals, you have a big deadline, newborn in the house."

BRADY SAYS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS SLEEP CHALLENGED COLLEGE VOLUNTEERS IS LIKE LOOKING AT HOW THE BODY IS GOING TO WORK 20 YEARS LATER.

ORGANS WILL WORK LESS WELL. PEOPLE GAIN WEIGHT AND HIGHER SUGAR LEVELS CAN LEAD TO DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS.

"So it can affect your vision, it can affect your kidney function, it can affect your liver function and over time it is the secondary complications that can lead to amputation, blindness and a whole host of problems."

THE STUDY SHOWS NO DAMAGE WITH EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP A NIGHT. BUT MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO DISCOVER EXACTLY HOW MUCH SLEEP IS NEEDED, AND IF LONG-TERM DAMAGE CAN BE REVERSED WITH MORE SLEEP.

"And the question is if we can take subjects who are not sleeping well, and improve their sleep quality, improve their sleep duration. can we have a positive metabolic impact on their disease state?" Return to index of stories...
