adrian fenty even though she says she did meet with brown after he expressed interest in a job. >> what we agreed to was that i would talk to chairman gray about the possibility of him being interviewed at the end of the process, not that he would be guaranteed a position, so i wanted to make that clear. >> green described suleman brown as a persistent, sometimes annoying presence and promised the interview, not the $110,000 a year job he ultimately got despite a troubled legal background. >> i really have to tell you, i don't find it entirely credible the position that you and the mayor maintain that this was simply about an interview. it does seem very cozy. it does seem very, if i could finish, it does seem very unusual. >> brown says he told the fbi that he received cash payments and the city job in return for his attacks on fenty. federal authorities are reviewing the claims. gray also has denied any knowledge of any payoffs. in her testimony green complained about

need botox when they really don't. >> one doctor says he does see fine lines on the faces of younger people and that could be done by squinting at the computer screen or your cell phone too much. >> we're using those devices more and more and we're overusing those muscles and so more and more patients, i think, are concerned about those hyperanimated lines. >> i don't think it's wise to necessarily promote it to a demographic that really doesn't have the signs of age smooth american society of plastic surgeons says there was an 11% jump in women age 20 to 29 who got botox last year. >> for patients with type 1 dieb eaties it's a condition they're left struggling with their entire lives and it means constantly keeping track of blood sugar, being careful of what they eat and insulin, but that could come to an end. doreen gentzler here to tell us about a possible cure. >> the cure could still be a few years away, but some local doctors believe they're on track to possibly, possibly, put an end to type 1 dieb eats and it's a procedure that involves using the body's own cells. >> my endocrinologist told me said in your life time you will see a cure. those are words i still hang on to. >> ever since alexis mcdowell was diagnosed with type 1 dieb eats at the age of 13 she's had to closely monitor her blood levels making sure she stays healthy because if thing goes wrong, the complications can be very seriously, even deadly. >> i can lose my eyesight. my kidneys can go bad, lose a limb, bad circulation, heart disease, all of that. >> reporter: doctors believe they're getting closer to a cure that could dramatically change the lives of people like mcdowell. >> people deserve a cure for this disease. they deal with it every day. it is so, so hard. >> reporter: in patients with type 1 diabetes, the body thinks the pancreas is a foreign invader so it begins to destroy the eyelet cells, the cells that produce insulin. now researchers at georgetown university medical center are trying to create eyelet cells from adult stem cells so they be transplanted back into the patient e limb nath the need for constant blood sugar monitoring and insulin injections. endocrinologist, dr. stephen clement. >> the crux of the research is to basically change the whole paradigm, instead of giving shots in response to what the person needs, basically develop cells that could make insulin again. >> scientists have transplanted eyelet cells from one person to another in the past, but patient were required to take strong anti-rejection medications and that can take more of a toll on the body than the diabetes itself, but dr. clement says creating eyelet cells from a person's own stem cells would prevent the need for that kind of medication. >> the next step is we have to grow a lot of eyelets. we have to grow probably about half a billion eyelets in order to cure dieb eaties in a human. >> reporter: doctors are now trying to figure out the best way to grow the new cells and then they would try to implant in animals and if that goes well, they would be tested on humans. all in all, it could take anywhere from two to five years. for patients mcdowell, they're willing to wait as long as it takes to wait for the cure they've been dreaming about. >> i cannot imagine if there was a cure for diabetes what that would feel like. >> the bottom line, there is a lot of promise to this research, but it will be a few more years before we see the impact on humans. wendy, jim, it would mean a lot to a lot of people. >> that would be ground breaking and life changing. that's amazing. >> great story, doreen. >> yeah. doug kammerer has been busy in the weather kitchen. st. sophia's. >> just a block from the national cathedral they have

baklava in his face. >> this is their time to go ahead and eat and relax a bit. >> so why don't you begin? >> because i think we'll be okay for the festival coming up this weekend and a lot of other things going on as well. we are going to see showers, so yes, you will need to have the umbrellas handy and keep them with you, but it will be the purse umbrellas that you can keep in the purse or back pocket. out there right now, 63 degrees and we're looking at plenty of cloud cover. winds out of the south-southeast at 6 miles per hour. we have seen rain today and it has not been a washout. 63 in frederick, 63 in la plain and culpeper coming in at 64 degrees. live digital doppler radar does show rain out there, but it's mostly to the west of i-59 and out toward 81 and into portion of west virginia and that's where it will stay for the next few hours and then it will try to make its way toward the east over the next couple of hours and here comes the rain and as it moves into a cooler air mass here, we are seeing some of that rain begin to deteriorate. we will see shower activity overnight, but this is not widespread rain. these are going to be showers and that's what we can expect during the day tomorrow. at 7:00 tonight, most of the rain back to the west, watch how they just fizzle on out here and move on through. so we will see showers overnight and then early tomorrow morning. it will not be raining everywhere. you put the umbrella up for 15 to 20 minutes and it will move on. on saturday night, we'll see more rain and this could last into sunday morning or the sunday afternoon and maybe stronger thunderstorms if we get enough temperatures ranging into the 70s, we'll watch out for that and that line will move through as well. so chance of showers over the next couple of days. >> this evening, chance of showers well to the west. light wind, 62 to 67 degrees and tomorrow morning, a few isolated showers and as we make our way through the rest of the day tomorrow, just a chance for some passing showers and maybe a rumble of thunder or two and it may be light to moderate rain and the heavier rain will come on sunday and we're seeing thunderstorms and monday, a high temperature of 75ing its and it does seem like we'll see chances of rain right through next week. all of the sunshine we saw, we have to flip the scale. >> what a washout. >> not quite. not for the weekend. moo my gosh, you guys tore into this thing. >> we were giving it to other people. >> no, we ate every bit of it. >> again, the st. sophia's greek festival, just a block from the

bin laden's three widows. the women were taken into custody by pakistani authorities after u.s. forces left the compound. >> u.s. officials tell nbc the women have not provided any new details about bin laden's movements or al qaeda activities. in fact, officials say the answers appear to be rehearsed as if the women were told what to say if they were captured. meanwhile, u.s. intelligence officials have confirmed a reuters report that an extensive collection of pornography was found on the compound property. it's not clear yet where the collection was found in the compound or who owned it. the white house refuses to release images of bin laden's death, but several lawmakers have seen the graphic pictures. >> nbc news correspondent luke russert joins us to talk about that from a capitol hill perspective. there was a whole lot of controversy about show the picture, no, don't show the picture. the lawmakers who have now seen the pictures, what are their thoughts on that. >> reporter: well, the first thing they said, wendy, the response is they are quite gruesome. they are quite graphic, but they can definitively say it is osama bin laden. so for any conspiracy theorists out there or deathers as they're now referred to in the media jargon, bin laden is dead. folks from the legislative branch have seen it and confirmed it and what you saw was a power grab by congress which didn't want the executive branch and the president to have all of the power over what to do with those photographs. they wanted to retain their ability to see them. they, in fact, did and members for the republican party and the democratic party sit on the intelligence committee took a trip to langley and went through those safe, secure doors and had to get rid of their blackberries and had to get rid of their electronics and were shown those pictures which gives a deaf ingive closure. >> we've seen the president's approval numbers because of this go up, through the roof. congressman ron paul announced he's running on the republican side. newt gingrich is also jumping in. how do you see the political landscape shaping up? any other big names who could be stepping into the race? >> reporter: the big one everyone's waiting on is mitt romney. he's the presumptive gop front-runner coming in the next few weeks or so. ron paul is an interesting candidate. he good afternoonaried a lot of attention and in fact, last week when he was planning on it he did a money bomb which is called and raised over $1 million. he's very much a libertarian and doesn't believe in the war on drugs and a lot of interesting positions that are not in the mainstream, but gravitate a lot of voters and he'll be on "meet the press," ideas man as he's known as on capitol hill. will he have the types of ideas that republicans will gravitate to in a presidential primary and can he wade through the thicket? it will be interesting to see. overall, though, you still have a lot of republicans and they're holding out hope for one guy who is a governor from indiana named mitch daniels. he is very much a fiscal conservative and very much about the budget. they want to see him get into the race and a lot of folks on capitol hill and the field is still very much shaping out and we'll see what ultimately we end up with. you have a big twitter following and you were talking smack about lebron james and earn praying like deion sanders after the game. >> so are you a miami heat fan? what do you think they'll be looking like in the final two. no one with a good conscience could support the miami heat and looking for the bad guys and the team that spends all of the money and no integrity, if you will. i think the heat will make it to the finals. i think they'll end up playing oklahoma city and i'll shock the world here and i'll play kevin durant over the miami heat and kind of an outlandish prediction and you have to give credit where credit is due. he seems to be showing himself to be a little bit remorseful that. he apologized. maybe lebron took a nice slice of humble pie and ate it. >> that would be nice. >> we all like humble pie. >> every now and then we need it.

know what was going on. >> reporter: no one came to the door when we knocked. police say when they searched the home on tennessee drive they found a full-service dental office in the basement. they

they told us, they were dentists in colombia. we know they were not licensed here. >> reporter: and they were apparently ordering drugs for patients through online pharmacies. >> you're supposed to be licensed, obviously, and they're obtaining medications online and giving out medications from the home. that's illegal as well. >> reporter: it's a quiet neighborhood, but residents say they did see a lot of people coming and going from the house. >> it was kind of scare especially with, you know, this was a quiet neighborhood and to have a family like this, not knowing nothing about it, that's scary. >> they were released on a personal recognizance bond and authorities say they could face additional charges. in leesburg, darcy spencer, news 4. investigators hope a new photo will help them

investigation, suspects or how the case was closed, but said several inaccurate statements were made over the years. >> whether they were inaccurate because of information that we had at the time, information that was missing at the time, it doesn't matter. >> reporter: while questions about what police believe topped joyce chiang linger, the case is now closed and the woman with the bright

precaution. still to come, a traffic nightmare averted. officials may delay the opening of alexandria's new mark center after all. i'm liz crenshaw. can vitamins have bad side effects? that's the question. >> all right. can companies legally take water from public fire hydrants? are all plastic containers microwave-safe and can vitamins have negative side effects? liz crenshaw takes these questions. hi, liz. >> happy friday to you. >> same to you. our first question comes from a del in gathersburg, maryland. she's seen pool companies filling up tank trucks from water with fire hate rants. she wants to know is this legal? >> the commission helped with us this answer and it says in maryland public use of a fire hydrant is legal as long as the company leases a meter and pays per gallon for the water used. it ranges from filling a swimming pool to washing a street. in virginia, a pool company will also lease a fire hydrant and pay for water, but do so through the county or city public works dwith and in the district, companies can get firehouse use permits through d.c. water documents and permit's office. don't worry. they'll probably have a meter on it and most likely they're not stealing the water. >> okay. >> our next question comes from lee. he's confused about which containers are microwave safe. so, liz, is it okay to put a plastic container like tupperware in your microwave? >> all blast iplastics are not same. listen up. it says most of the plastics are designed to withstand microwave temperatures, but to be sure that yours is one of them check the packaging label to see if it says microwave safe. if it does not say so, it is best to use a different container. the same, by the way, goes true for plastic wrap. make sure it's labeled safe for microwave use. do not reheat leftovers in those take-out price containers because they can ooesz easily melt or burn. a lot of folks think the chinese food containers and throw it back in the microwave. don't do that. read the label and make sure because that plastic does and can get into the food that you're eating. >> good to know. our final question, liz, comes from charles in maryland. he wants to know if vitamins can have bad side effects. >> u.s. food and drug administration helped us with this answer. it says vitamins are not dangerous unless you take too much of one. side effects are most likely to happen when people take more than the recommended dose. the type of side effect depends on the type of vitamin you take. for example, vitamin a, it could include head akres dizziness, blurred vision and vitamin d side effects could include confusion. to find out the government-recommended daily allowance searched our website and search vitamins. if you have a question you would like us to consider, send it to ask liz@nbcwashington.com and search liz crenshaw and on facebook by searching liz crenshaw's consumer watch. >> there is a recommended daily allowance and you need to be careful to go over it. we have them on the website and spelled out. >> we're a lot smart or this friday. are. >> you not always smarter after you listen to liz. >> it's official, we now know who has been tapped to fill charlie sheen's shoes on "two and a half men." we'll >> a louisiana woman says she and her mother were humiliated last month during a flight on southwest airlines. >> it happened during a stopover in dallas. kenly tigman claims a southwest worker pulled them aside and told them they were too fat to fly. >> she says this was especially frustrating because she has lost 120 pounds over the last two years. >> i know i still have a lot of weight to lose, but i'm definitely not too fat to fly. do i it all of the time, domestically and internationally, and i have never -- i've never had anyone approach me. >> reporter: southwest says larger passengers can fly, but they have to buy a second ticket if they cannot fight into the seat. >> by the way, the women were eventually allowed on the flight without paying extra and they were also given vouchers and an apology. >> tonight, there is a new attempt to avert a traffic nightmare. >> a bill moving through

construction at the massive new defense department structure just off i-395 in alexandria, preparing for early august when the 6400 workers will start to descend on the brac 133. the army employees are relocating from rental space under the base realignment and closure plan. >> it will create as much as a two-hour delay for the 200,000 commuters who would have to commute from south of seminary road. >> congressman jim moran has just scored an initial success in his bid to delay the move-in date. the house subcommittee has approved the commission allowing the defense department to wait for a year until september 2012 to be onning might building. >> this is the first time that legislatively we have changed a brac decision and it's to say that the seven worse situations around the country can be delayed for a year. >> in this letter to defense secretary robert gates, moran asked brac 133 to go to the top of the list if the measure is approved. >> delaying the move-in date is just one part of the effort to stall the impact of this building, another piece of pending legislation would cap the number of usable parking spaces at just 1,000. that would force the army to either delay full occupation of the building or to make sure the majority of the 6400 staffers take mass transit or carpool. both misches are a long ways from final approval. residents who serve on an advisory commission question whether anything would halt this military march. >> the army, excuse the phrase, but hell-bent on moving in and starting in september, so i don't know if they'll take advantage of this. >> in alexandria, julie carey, news 4. >> coming up next, we'll hear from alexandria's mayor about whether legal action might be a way to slow things down. >> let's get a final check of our soggy weather from doug. >>ing so, but not all that bad. once again, you'll need to keep those umbrellas handy over the next days and maybe over the next five to six days, but we will not see rain the

brilliant per form, but said the show was going tank without him. he doesn't hold back. >> no, he doesn't. let's check in with sports now and look at plays of the week. here's lindsay in case you missed it. >> did you hear tiger woods pulled out of the player's championship? just one of the headlines from this week in sports. also there were many highlights including the wild and wacky from the nba playoffs to the nhl post-season play, but we begin with the baseball diamond. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> "in case you missed it," tom willis was born without arjs but it could not stop him from throwing out the first pitch at a dodger's game. you see, he's able to do it with his toes and accurately propelled the ball right to the catcher at home plate 60 feet away. they'd probably make a good field goal kicker, too. needless to say the dodgers were very impressed. congratulations to ray's rookie pitcher, brandon combs. he grounds out, completing a one, two, three, major league inning. he tosses the ball to the mound and realize the ball's significance and starts to go back to get it to keep for his trophy case. eventually he decide against it and walks to the dugout where his teammates enjoy a laugh. there was high school grad brandon guyer who made his major league debut against the orioles and proceeded to hit a home run in his first major league at bat. he was sent down two days later so the rays could get some pitching help. in case you missed it, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's dwayne wade against the celtics flying into the crowd going after a loose ball. it looks like he went about five roads deep, making it his longest diep of the season. that type of hues cell why the heat eliminated the celtics in that series. >> say good-bye to the lakers for this season and center andrew bynum for the beginning of next season. the mavs drives the lane and gets elbowed to the ground and that gets him ejected and the lakers get bounced in the playoffs by the mavs. it's a five-game suspension to start the season. >> how bad do you want to make a fool of yourself? a fan runs on to the field in boost orngs disrupting the red sox-angels game, but he doesn't get very far. here comes the security guard with the perfect tackle. i wonder if the patriots are watching because that's how you stop a runner in his tracks. >> and if you're going to hit somebody make sure you don't miss. the bruins' adam mcquade tries to a high elbow, but misses and plants one face-first. mcwade had to be helped off the ice. it's been a bad week to be on a pit crew in nascar. this -- a member of the crew tries to take some tape off the front end and hassle almost runs him over. moments later, jeff gordon is moment ago and takes his gas man along for the ride. after the race, kevin harvick in the 29 and kyle busch behind him and harrvick gets out of his car to go after busch, busch drives off and in case you missed it, you have seen it all now. >> love all those highlights on
