Return to Story IndexTHANKSGIVING SPENDING
A DISH OF GOOD NEWS IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING. THE AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION SAYS IT WILL COST YOU LESS THIS YEAR TO BUY SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY FOOD ITEMS. Volunteer shoppers, some 200 strong, from 35 states went out to grocery stores around the country. They shopped off the same shopping list and they produced an average cost to feed ten folks this year at Thanksgiving of a little bit under 43 dollars, down some from last year. THE SHOPPING LIST INCLUDED TURKEY, BREAD STUFFING, SWEET POTATOES, ROLLS WITH BUTTER, PEAS, CRANBERRIES, A VEGETABLE TRAY, PUMPKIN PIE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND BEVERAGES. LAST YEAR CUSTOMERS PAID A TOTAL OF ABOUT 45 DOLLARS FOR ALL OF THAT. THE ITEMS OFFERING THE BIGGEST SAVINGS... It looks like the turkey and the gallon of milk alone, represent most of the price decrease. IF A 43 DOLLAR PRICE TAG IS STILL A LITTLE STEEP... EXPERTS SAY THERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU CAN SHAVE THE COST EVEN MORE. GO TO THE STORE WITH A LIST AND STICK TO IT... AND Go for the less highly processed items. Buy the 5 pound bag of potatoes instead of buying the instant or the precooked items that are there. FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M SAMANTHA HAYES. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, THE AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION SAYS OVERALL, CONSUMERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SAVE ON GROCERIES THROUGHOUT NEXT YEAR.

Return to Story IndexBABY STEPS 11/16
IN WEST VIRGINIA ALONE...ONE IN SEVEN BABIES IS BORN TOO EARLY. IN THIS MORNING'S BABY STEPS REPORT WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER DELIVERING A PREEMIE. For new mothers the expectation of a storybook delivery is high. But it doesn't always happen that way. Sometimes, babies are born early. And the immediate care of your preemie takes on an approach you may not have been prepared for. Dr. Joe Matusic has some info on what you may expect. If you are in jeopardy of delivering a premature baby, the number of weeks you're looking to make it to is 37. A full-term pregnancy is anywhere between 37 and 40 weeks. If your baby is born sooner, at 35-weeks or earlier, they will most likely be going to the neo-natal intensive care unit, or NICU. Specialized doctors and nurses will be in charge of your baby's care at that point, not your pediatrician. Dr. Joe Matusic, MD/Pediatrician Those babies that go to the NICU, they often do before I ever even see the baby. I don't know the baby's been born sometimes. So you're scared about your baby, the NICU doctors are excellent at talking to you. The nurses are excellent. They're going to walk you through everything. This is a rare look inside the NICU at Women and Children's Hospital, where the youngest babies born, fight to survive. To help enhance existing educational resources, The March of Dimes has opened the 55th NICU Family Service Center in the country. It will help parents who are entering a new world, one they likely did not expect. Peggy Engelkemier/Mother of Preemie Twins I never once looked up to see there were so many parents going through what I was going through. Katie Foster/March of Dimes We provide parent hours which is a time for the families to get together, a time to get support from graduate NICU parents. For parents not able to hold their babies, the NICU Family Support also offers a scholastic reading program so you can at least sit, and read to your baby. Peggy Engelkemier/Mother Sometimes you're even scared to look up and leave their bed side. Katie Foster/March of Dimes We give each family a care kit when they enter the NICU and it helps teach them about all the traumatic things they're going to see. The medical equipment, the medical terms and technology. It helps make the NICU a little less scary for them. At the point when your baby is released from the NICU, and you're ready to go home, you'll be seeing your pediatrician immediately. Dr. Joe Matusic When you go home, we want to see you in a day or two. I mean very quickly after you go home from the NICU. Especially an extreme preemie, they've really got to be watched very closely. That is your first visit. There is a potential for it to be complicated. Your doctor will discuss topics like medicines and growth of your baby. But parents who have been through it, say educating yourself and keeping a positive attitude can take you a long way on the road to good health. TODAY, PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA WILL BE DONATING 20-PERCENT OF SALES TO THE WEST VIRGINIA MARCH OF DIMES... JUST BE SURE TO SAY WHEN YOU ORDER THAT IT IS A MARCH OF DIMES PIZZA FOR PREEMIES ORDER... PARTICIPATING STORES INCLUDE, KANAWHA CITY, CHARLESTON- PATRICK STREET, CROSS LANES AND NITRO...

Return to Story IndexOBAMA TUES
THE TWO LEADERS WERE IN AGREEMENT ON SEVERAL KEY ISSUES. HERE'S MORE ON THE MEETING... PRESIDENT OBAMA PLAYED TOURIST TODAY - TAKING IN SOME OF BEIJING'S SIGNATURE SIGHTS - AT THE FORBIDDEN CITY. Nats tour HIS R&R COMES AFTER HOURS OF CLOSED DOOR TALKS WITH COMMUNIST LEADERS, INCLUDING MORE THAN FIVE HOURS WITH PRESIDENT HU. A strong U.S.-China partnership and dialogue is important not only for the well-being and prosperity of our two nations, but also of the world. MUCH OF THEIR DISCUSSIONS HAVE CENTERED ON THE ECONOMY. CHINA IS AMERICA'S BIGGEST CREDITOR - WITH 800 BILLION DOLLARS IN U.S. TREASURY BONDS. So far China's partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations. IT'S NOT JUST FINANCE - THE TWO LEADERS ALSO PROMISED TO CONTINUE WORK TOGETHER ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR ISSUE. STILL THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENTS, MOST NOTABLY ON THE ISSUE OF HUMAN RIGHTS. THE PRESIDENT URGED THE CHINESE TO RESUME TALKS WITH THE DALAI LAMA - AND SAID ALL MINORITIES DESERVE FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS. We do not believe these principles are unique to America but rather they are universal rights and that they should be available to all peoples, to all ethnic and religious minorities.
