IT'S ALSO THE TIME OF YEAR KIDS AROUND THE STATE RELEASE THE TROUT FINGERLINGS THEY'VE RAISED FROM EGGS. EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY TELLS US MORE ABOUT THE TROUT IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAM IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE. Amanda Craig's school is here after a nearly year long committement to raising a bunch of fingerlings ready to be released today. That's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun, especially today when these little guys get to go free, and their little managers get to feel like proud parents watching their little ones leave the nest. They learned a lot this year. That's some good stuff, you can tell these kids are committed to their trout. They have been since the very beginning. That's the beginning of wildlife management, and maybe one day one of these bright kids will make a profession out of working with animals.

Return to Story IndexIRS SCANDAL
I-R-S COMMISSIONER IS RESIGNING BUT THAT HAS NOT STOPPED THE OUTCRY OVER THE AGENCY'S ACTIONS. TODAY, REPUBLICANS BROUGHT TOGETHER SOME OF THE GROUPS CLAIMING THEY WERE SINGLED OUT BY THE I-R-S FOR ADDED SCRUTINY. AND NOW THE GOP IS REMINDNG PEOPLE OF THE LINK THE I-R-S HAS TO OBAMA-CARE. Today, Republicans made it clearthey're not dropping the IRS scandal. Bachmann-SOT- 9:29:48 THE POWER TO TAX IS THE POWER TO DESTROY. Sen. Rand Paul-SOT- 9:33:01THERE'S SOMETHING PROFOUNDLY UNAMERICAN ABOUT TARGETING YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. The Justice Department is investigating how the IRS was allowed to unfairly scrutinize Tea Party and other conservative groups who sought tax exempt status. But Republicans want swift action.they want people thrown in jail. This morning on Capitol Hill, Tea Party Republicans gathered with individuals who say they were victimized by the IRS. Woman-SOT- 9:47:59 THE IRS'S THUGISH ACTIONS ILLUSTRATE WHY WE MUST HAVE A SMALLER GOVERNMENT. President Obama is trying to make it clear he will not stand for the IRS targeting conservatives. He announced that changes will be made at the IRS and that the agency's acting commissioner will be stepping down. President Obama-SOT- I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE NOTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN BY HOLDING THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES ACCOUNTABLE. But this is a headache that's not likely to go away soon. Republicans are now linking the IRS scandal to the implementation of Obamacare. They say the IRS cannot be trusted to administer the tax breaks and credits included in health care overhaul law. Michelle Bachmann -SOT- 10:11:38 WE BELIEVE THAT THE HEAT WILL GET SO HOT, THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE FORCED TO REPEAL HIS SIGNATURE LEGISLATION. O/C Close: TODAY, REPUBLICANS TOOK ISSUE WITH THE RESIGNATION OF THE ACTING IRS COMISSIONER - THEY SAY HE'S NOT ACTUALLY RESIGNING..GIVEN THAT IT APPEARS PRESIDENT OBAMA IS ALLOWING HIM TO STAY FOR AN ORDERLY TRANSITION.

According to forecasters ..early estimates put the tornado that touched in Granbury, at a rare EF-4 twister.. packing winds up to 200 miles per hour.. NATS: LOOK AT THIS.. IT HIT SOMETHING DUDE.. IT DID IT JUST HIT A HOUSE OR SOEMTHING Rescue crews still digging through the rubble searching for anyone who might still be trapped under the rubble SOT/THIS AM NEWSER "We might do more in-depth search too..because I'm not gonna leave any stone left unturned" The storm rolled in from the southwest just before sunset ((SIRENS warning the residents of the incoming danger MOS: "You could feel it it was real calm and all of a sudden, you could just like a vacuum whoah.. what's going on"" Witnesses say..The sky filled quickly with dark clouds.. then the heavy rain came down and finally.. baseball-sized hail came raining down.. MOS: "the hail started// then the tornado just started going in circles.." MOS: "all of a sudden things just started swirling.. you could see stuff going all through the air.. the tin roofs.. hard stuff hitting the house." When it was over hundreds of homes were destroyed dozens of people are still missing.. Hundreds are injured and many are thankful today to be alive.. MOS: "Lucky we made it.. but you know there are people missing still"
Return to Story IndexDATING APP
MANY PEOPLE HAVE TURNED TO THE WEB TO FIND LOVE. NOW DATING IS EVEN MORE MOBILE ... COMING RIGHT TO YOUR PHONE THROUGH AN APP CALLED TINDER. [movie reel open - dating scene - sent link to editors] 9:29 - I like to go on bicycle trips, too. Do you? And minature golf. Do you like that? THIS IS WHAT DATING USED TO LOOK LIKE ... MEETING SOMEONE FACE TO FACE. [fast forward sound - video moving fast] FAST FORWARD TO TODAY ... [collage of images: eharmony, match.com, tinder - I can email screen shots if needed] AND THIS IS WHAT DATING LOOKS LIKE FOR A NEW GENERATION ... MEETING ONLINE. [david herd walking through door] DAVID HERD IS IN HIS LATE 20'S AND SINGLE. HE'S TURNED TO THE WEB FOR HELP WITH HIS DATING LIFE. 28:48 - David - It's a good way for branching out and meeting new friends or for possibly meeting future dating partners. 28:51 DAVID IS USING A DATING APP ... CALLED TINDER. 25:44 - David - Tinder is almost like texting on steroids. 25:48 AFTER SIGNING UP AND SETTING UP A PROFILE ... USERS CAN SWIPE THROUGH PROFILE PICTURES ... TAPPING ON A *GREEN HEART* WHEN THEY LIKE SOMEONE AND PRESSING A *RED X* WHEN THEY DON'T. 25:57 - David - You can either swipe to the left or to the right if you like or dislike what they look like. 26:01 IF BOTH USERS *LIKE EACH OTHER ... THE APP TAKES THEM TO A PRIVATE CHAT ROOM WHERE THEY CAN START A CONVERSATION ... EXCHANGE INFORMATION ... AND EVEN ARRANGE TO MEET UP. Candice: You see an image of a guy, an image of a young woman, and then you click if they're hot or not." CANDICE CHRISTIANSEN IS A CERTIFIED SEX ADDICTION COUNSELOR. SHE SAYS THE OVERT MESSAGE OF TINDER IS GOOD -- CONNECTING WITH OTHERS. IT'S THE COVERT MESSAGE THAT'S RAISING RED FLAGS. Candice: "Hot or not, let's take out the information and details about you, just click if you like me, click if you don't; to me that speaks volumes in terms of let's hook up or not." TINDER DOESN'T PROMOTE THAT IT'S A HOOKUP SITE, BUT RATHER A WAY OF *GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH PEOPLE YOU WANT TO KNOW*. WHILE TINDER MIGHT NOT ENCOURAGE "HOOKING UP" ... IT SEEMS TO BE USED THAT WAY. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE ... THE RECENT EXPERIMENT SET UP BY THREE BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY COLLEGE STUDENTS. [picture of Miss Teen USA sent to editors] THEY SET UP A FAKE TINDER PROFILE USING PHOTOS OF A MISS TEEN USA ... [pictures from HuffPost sent to editors] SOON THAT FAKE PROFILE NAMED *SAMMY* HAD 250 MATCHES ... THE THREE STUDENTS INVITED ALL OF THE GUYS TO MEET SAMMY AT A FROZEN YOGURT SHOP. MORE THAN 70-MEN SHOWED UP TO MEET HER ... BUT GUESS WHAT ... SAMMY WASN'T THERE. Canice 10:48 - We have a society that's looking for love and a very sexualized society because of all the apps and anonymity today. 10:56 CHRISTIANSEN SAYS BECAUSE THE APP IS BASED UPON WHAT YOU SEE ... IT PROMOTES A SHALLOW OBJECTIFICATION AS A WAY TO CONNECT. Candice: "It promotes a disconnection and a way to focus being on your phone and not the real world and I believe it teaches our younger generation not to relate to each other." WHILE THE APP IS GEARED TOWARD THOSE OF COLLEGE AGE ... TEENS ARE ALSO USING TINDER. CHRISTIANSEN SAYS SHE SEES GIRLS AS YOUNG AS TEN POSTING THEIR PICTURES ONLINE. 14:30 - We know children are so impressionable. Young girls wanting to be liked, wanting to have that approval in their social setting.14:37 HERD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS APPS LIKE TINDER POSE FOR SOMEONE LIKE HIM ... WHO'S USING THE APP THE WAY IT'S INTENDED. 30:18 - David - You have to be very careful about who you like and who you don't like because you never know who is on the other side of the picture. 30:22 HERD HASN'T FOUND ANYONE HE'S CONNECTED WITH ON TINDER. 31:15 - David - There's no interpersonal communication within this program; there's no talking in person; there's no getting to find out how they smile; how they interact with other people or within a dating situation. 31:26 SO FOR NOW ... HE'LL KEEP WAITING FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE TO COME ALONG ... AND WISHING THINGS COULD BE A LITTLE LESS COMPLICATED.

MATTHEW BAKOS/DERMATOLOGIST 00:05:15-:24 "any time you expose yourself to radiation, ultra violet or otherwise there's certanily going to be an increased risk and over time it certainly may be accumulative." TAKE VO IT'S THE SAME HARMFUL RADIATION FOUND IN TANNING BEDS... WE'VE HEARD OVER THE YEARS - JUST HOW DANGEROUS TANNING CAN BE - AND HOW IT CAN CAUSE ALL TYPES OF SKIN CANCER. EXPERTS SAY USING THESE U-V LIGHTS FOR THE MANICURES - POSES THE SAME RISK.

TAKE VO TAKE VO AND THAT'S SOMETHING KRISTIN LIVES WITH EVERYDAY - THE FEAR THAT SHE MIGHT NOT SEE HER THREE KIDS GROW UP... TAKE SOT NO SUPER 15:16:03-:16 "my kids have to live with it, my kids now they'll get questioned, well do you know anyone with cancer, yeah my mom, it's like what, you shouldn't have to say that, it was MY fault for tanning and now this could effect you." TAKE VO SINCE U-V LIGHT CAN BE DANGEROUS... ARE THESE GEL MANICURES PUTTING YOU MORE AT RISK? TAKE SOT NO SUPER 00:05:02-:09 "this risk is much, much lower than we originally thought the risk is not insignificant, but it is really, really small." TAKE VO DR. BAKOS SAYS YOU'RE EXPOSED TO THE HARMFUL RAYS FOR A MUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME THAN TANNING BEDS - AND SAYS THE LIGHT STRENGTH - IS MUCH LOWER. BUT FOR SOME OF US - THE RISK IS STILL GREAT. TAKE SOT NO SUPER 00:06:25-:39 "people that have fair skin, blue eyes, blonde hair, red hair certainly are at an increased with for skin cancer as well as sun damage, from any type of light source, and therefore they should be cautious on doing that type of treatment." TAKE VO WHILE SOME SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS - OTHERS ARE STILL WILLING TO GAMBLE WITH THEIR HEALTH. TAKE SOT DIANA MORRIS 01:06:55-:07:07 "i wouldn't think about it and i don't think it would be that much of a risk, i personally would probably just go ahead and get it done anyway. being a woman and all, it's the price of beauty."
