SEARCH FOR GRIZZLY CUB-PKG

Neighbor:

13:37 he's gotta be a smart little guy if he's getting away with this 41

A search for a grizzly in golden gate estates is still on-- after a two year old bear named boo boo bolted from his home on the 4thousand block of 43rd avenue ne yesterday. The cub was being held in captivity with his brother yogi and an adult grizzly named tonk-- as part of an educational show called 'a grizzly experience.' Their owner did have the proper permits and fencing-- but somehow boo boo got out. Teams have been searching for nearly 30 hours-- and so far the only sign of him are some footprints from last night.

Today biologists set traps and food out in hopes of attracting the hungry bear.

Cptn mitts mravic, Fwc:

4:42:29 this bear is used to captivity, he's not used to looking for food on his own 31 so were gona put out some food sources that hopefully might attract him 34

Since boo boo was raised as a pet, he's not aggressive and is likely scared-- fwc says the bear could approach humans because it's friendly but it won't attack.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

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.

COLD FRONT COMING TOMORROW

The forecast calls for changing weather starting tomorrow. The balance of our evening will be mostly clear with mild 60's and a little fog again tomorrow morning. The first half of Thursday will be mostly sunny once again with a high in the mid to upper 70's. In the afternoon we will start to track some rain showers moving in from the west. Skies should cloud-up after lunchtime and some showers will cross the area around 2:00 p.m. The rain showers forecast should not last all afternoon and move through quickly. I expect that most places will receive less than ¼ inch of rain tomorrow. The winds will increase by late day and southwest Florida boaters should be aware that the weather tomorrow morning will be nice, but turn windy and rough by the end of the day. Our highs in the 70's will quickly drop back to the 60's by sunset and we are going down to 50 degrees by Friday morning.

The extended outlook for the weekend looks cool with variable clouds overhead. High temperatures both Saturday and Sunday will be in the 70's and overnight lows throughout the area will noticeably cooler this weekend.

"We try to take Americans by the lapels and shake them and say, you know, be careful. if you want to eat these meals, fine, but you should know what you're getting."

YOU'LL GET MORE THAN 6-THOUSAND MILLIGRAMS OF SALT -- A FOUR-DAY SUPPLY -- WHEN YOU ORDER THE FULL RACK OF BABY BACK RIBS AT CHILI'S. THE DISH COMES WITH HOMESTYLE FRIES AND CINNAMON APPLES.

DIETITIANS SAY THERE ARE WAYS TO EAT OUT AND AVOID GASTRONOMIC GLUTTONY.

"Instead of starting your meal with a bread basket or fatty appetizer, choose a broth-based soup or even hot tea."

SOME STUDIES SHOW PEOPLE WHO START THEIR MEALS WITH A WARM LIQUID CONSUMER FEWER CALORIES.

WHETHER HE'S WALKING UP TO STRANGERS AND GIVING THEM A KISS, JUMPING ON THEIR BACKS UNEXPECTEDLY OR SITTING ON PEOPLE'S LAPS, ROSS SAYS IT'S ALL A PRANK.

I like to do stunts. I guess it's the adrenaline, it's fun.

ROSS HAS POSTED 60 VIDEOS POSTED ON YOUTUBE UNDER THE NAME ROSS CREATIONS. SOME VIDEOS HAVE MORE THAN 550,000 VIEWS, SHOWING HIM JUMPING OVER CARS AND FROM BRIDGES. HIS RECENT VIDEO OF KISSING MEN AND WOMEN STRANGERS IS NEARING 400,000 VIEWS. BUT SOMEBODY DIDN'T FIND HIS LATEST PRANK FUNNY -- GIVING PEOPLE AT A MOVIE THEATER WEDGIES -- AND FILED A BATTERY CHARGE AGAINST ROSS. MANATEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES ARRESTED HIM.

It was a joke I was playing. It doesn't mean it's OK, what I was doing. I think it was fairs.

Deputies say Ross' pranks are battery.

It's touching of another human being when that person does not want to be touched. This person did not want to get a wedgie. Who would want to get a wedgie?

I say I'm sorry that someone got offended. It's supposed to be a joke. Some people find humor and laugh at it others can't.

DESPITE HIS ARREST, ROSS SAYS HE WILL KEEP MAKING VIDEOS, MUCH LIKE THIS ONE.
