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.

Dry high pressure over the Southeast US brought us our first true taste of Autumn weather.

Temperatures at sunrise started in the middle 60s with coolest deep inland areas in the

upper 50s. Bright sunshine will warm us well into the 80s this afternoon.but with low

humidity and a nice breeze, the entire day will feel very comfortable. Lows tonight will

return to the middle 60s.

We'll lose a bit of the comfort factor during the week ahead. Easterly winds from the

Bahamas will slowly allow humidity to increase. It'll also sweep a little low level moisture

across Florida, mixing in a few clouds and perhaps even 1 or 2 isolated showers. The

difference in pressure between strong high pressure North of Florida.and developing

MARK COLLUM/DIR. AMBULATORY PHARMACY SERVICES

RUNS:

3:56 With the increased focus on reducing readmissions, it is more imperative that pharmacies, hospitals and health systems get that holistic view to healing the patient.

AND SO LEE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM JOINED THE RANKS OF HOSPITALS WHICH INCORPORATE IN-HOUSE PHARMACIES. IT GIVES HEALTH WORKERS ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH PATIENTS.

CURT HEARN/PHARMACIST

RUNS:

:51 One of our main focuses is to make sure the patient understands their medication before they leave the hospital. So they understand why they're taking the medication, how they're taking their medication and make sure that they're taking their medication.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

Without the financial pressures facing community-based drug stores, a hospital pharmacy stocks medications that may not be economically feasible for a store, but necessary for a patient.

MARK COLLUM/DIR. AMBULATORY PHARMACY SERVICES

RUNS:

4:34 We have some very expensive antibiotics like Zyvox and Vancomycin oral, as well as Lovenox and other high-risk specialty injectable medications. Not every pharmacy has those on the shelf, as they're very expensive to carry. But we want to make sure that we have them for a person when they go home, such that they don't have to go on a search now in the community pharmacy to find it.

THOSE MEDICINES ARE FOR VERY SPECIFIC ISSUES, NAMELY REDUCING THE RISK OF BLOOD CLOTS, FIGHTING PNEUMONIA AND TREATING COLITIS. IT COMES DOWN TO SERVICE AND SAFETY. MEDICATION MIX UPS ARE A CONSTANT CONCERN IN HEALTH CARE.

MARK COLLUM/DIR. AMBULATORY PHARMACY SERVICES

RUNS:

5:15 We have access to the patients' medical records so that we can make sure the meds that they're going home with match what they were taking in the hospital.

TZ2 A CRIME STOPPERS-VO

CRIME STOPPERS-ON CAM

A SEPTEMBER THEFT LEFT A LEE COUNTY STORE SHORT NEARLY FOUR-THOUSAND DOLLARS IN ELECTRONICS.

THEY WERE STRIPPED FROM STORE SHELVES COMPLETELY UNNOTICED.

CRIME STOPPERS-PKG

A troupe of thieves casually strolls through a Fort Myers Best Buy store on a busy Saturday afternoon, using a stealthy skill set to heist thousands of dollars worth of electronics, without ever raising suspicion to employees around them.

Sgt. Stephanie Eller - "They had basically a group come in, however they had come in independent of one another, so they didn't draw attention to themselves."

Once inside the store, three men and three women went their separate ways, picking up phones, iPods and whatever small electronics they could grab. That's when they set their plan into motion.

Trish Routte: After grabbing the items, the thieves would meet up with each other in the store, with the women placing the items into large handbags. And this is where their true criminal skills came into play.

Sgt.Eller - "We believe those purses had a lining in them so whenever they walked out of the store with the items that had anti-theft devices on them, that it would not set off the anti-theft detector."

To pull off a scam like this, one would have to be well versed in the ways of crime - something detectives are confident this group has down to a science.

Sgt. Eller - "These are people who were very comfortable doing what they did. They knew they weren't going to be detected. They knew they had a good plan."

Their plan was so good, in fact, that retail stores throughout the area are now comparing notes, with the very strong possibility that the Best Buy thieves may have not only hit that store, but possibly others in recent weeks.

In all, nearly $4,000 in merchandise was stolen in just one day from one store. Detectives are now hoping the public can ID these professional criminals and help put an end to their free for all shopping sprees.

Sgt. Eller - "Absolutely not their first rodeo. This is something that these people have possibly done before, and they're probably doing it right now. Ideally, we need to put them behind bars so they don't do it again."

FAMILY MEMBERS SAY MCGOVERN PASSED AWAY AT 5-15 THIS MORNING,

SURROUNDED BY RELATIVES AND LIFE-LONG FRIENDS.

MCGOVERN DIES-PKG

SCRIPT:

Sound up GM - I will stop the bombing of Indochina on inaugural day.

GEORGE MCGOVERN WAS THE FIRST SENATOR TO OPPOSE THE VIETNAM WAR, CALLING IT

A "POLICY OF MORAL DEBACLE AND POLITICAL DEFEAT". A CAUSE THAT WOULD LAUNCH

HIM TO THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 1972.

Sound up GM - "Peace, not war. Truth and candor rather than deceptiveness

and manipulationWe're going to give Richard Nixon the retirement he so

richly deserves."

BUT VOTERS DIDN'T SEE IT THAT WAY, AND HE LOST IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST

ELECTORAL LANDSLIDES IN AMERICAN HISTORY, CARRYING ONLY MASSACHUSETTS.

MCGOVERN GREW UP IN A TINY PRAIRIE TOWN IN SOUTH DAKOTA. A LIBERAL ICON

FROM A REPUBLICAN FAMILY. WHO MET HIS WIFE ELEANOR WHEN THEY WERE

COMPETITORS AT A HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TOURNAMENT AND SHE WON. HE WENT ON TO

BECOME A DECORATED FIGHTER PILOT IN WORLD WAR 2 AND SERVED IN CONGRESS,

BEFORE FINDING HIS VOICE LEADING THE ANTI-WAR CHARGE IN HIS RACE FOR THE

WHITE HOUSE.

Sound up GM - Must have moral victory

MCGOVERN STAYED IN THE SENATE UNTIL A 1980 DEFEAT - AND FOUR YEARS LATER

MADE ANOTHER RUN FOR PRESIDENT, BUT DIDN'T GET PAST THE EARLY PRIMARIES AND

THERE WERE TRAGEDIES IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE - LOSING SON STEVEN AND DAUGHTER

TERESA TO ALCOHOLISM.
