Right now, a Staten Island man is facing a list of charges after police say he pretended to be a doctor for three years. Police raided donald b. Edwards office this week and saying he had an illegal practice out of a basement apartment despite no medical experience. And confiscated medical equipment and blood vials and doctors badge. And doctors say he deceived at least 100 patients and went undetected for so long by calling in prescriptions under another doctors name. Long island residents are fuming over plans to open a medical marijuana dispensary. New yorkers can soon get a prescription for cannabis but some parents say putting a dispensary near a high school in riverhead sends the wrong message. And local lawmakers may call for a marijuana moratorium. There is growing concern over increased traffic and worries about a rise in crime. Medical marijuana should be available at designated dispensaries throughout new york, by january. And riverhead expects to have a moratorium drafted soon for public debate. A warning for smokers this morning. Starting next month, new york will ban smoking near after School Programs. The law signed by Governor Cuomo is intended to protect children from Secondhand Smoke at public and private schools and establish a 100foot boundary from entrances and exits and programs of outdoor areas while the after School Programs are in session. There is some programsing news for people with epilepsy. A recentlyapproved device can detect and interrupt a seizure even before the patient feels one coming on. Cbs 2 dr. Max gomez reports. My body stiffens up. And then next thing you know, i start kicking around. 17yearold numbzi chiewkumess description is bad enough but you have to see one to appreciate his seizure severity. It has made school and sports very difficult and affected his personality. He is more reclusive. As you can tell. You ask him one thing and he goes into this way, and he cannot concentrate for more than an hour. Medications have not controlled his seizures so he has decided to try a surgical approach. It is a batterypowered pacemaker of sorts. During a onehour procedure, dr. Asheesh meta has a small electrode around the nerve in the neck called the vagus and they watch for an early sign of an impending seizure. The heart rate goes up suddenly when a seizure is about to begin. This skies senses that heart this device senses that heart rate and when it does it delivers the stimulation of the vagus nerve and there by reducing the chances of a seizure getting worse. We were there when the doctor turned the stimulator on for the first time and he felt a slight ting lin and it will be turned up over the next six months with the help of dramatically reducing the amount of medications needed to control the seizures, and in some cases eliminate them. He is a good boy and i cant wait to have him back. Now, not everyone gets dramatic results of course, but in clinical trials, 50 of all patients cut their number of seizures in half. Well, in honor of the popes visit to our area next month, the new jersey brewery has created a beer dedicated to pope francis. Cape may Brewing Company is releasing a limited edition draft beer. The beers name is a playoff of yolo, which stands for you only live one. And it is called yopo, which means you only pope once. [ laughter ] available in philly and new jersey on september 21. I love how the pope is a brew now. If you have had one too many Beers Research ners australia may have discovered a natural and affordable cure for hangovers. Pear juice. Australias Natural Science agency says pear juice may affect your blood alcohol level after a drink but you have to drink the pear juice before you consume the alcohol. Drinking pear juice once you already have a hangover, wont do you any good. Today is the last day to take advantage of summer streets in new york city. You can zip line or slide down a 30 feet high and 30foot long water slide along park avenue like Vanessa Murdock did a few weeks ago. The eighth year summer streets has closed off about seven miles in manhattan on park avenue from the Brooklyn Bridge to central park and the event goes on until 1 00 this afternoon. The water slide on a day like today, probably so refreshing. Lets check in with vanessa now and first off, we want the firsthand account of what the water slide is like. Because it looks like so much fun watching you from here and it seems like a good day for it again today. Perfect day for it. We will soar to 90 this afternoon. It is a blast of fun but probably all booked up, if you dont have your reservation already, you might want to find an alternative to stay cool. The beach is always a great option. And the beach forecast is looking good. Live outside. Show you what this picture looks like, as we look across central park. The sun reflecting off the buildings. It is mostly sunny. And 78. And weve got calm winds this morning. And it is looking good. And the summer heat is making a comeback. We will be at 90 today. And then even warmer over the next few. And so yes, it will be a great beach week, with a low risk of rip kurns, and then monday, as we fast forward, looks to be the hottest day. Not only will temperatures be nearing the mid90s but humidity levels will be high, so it is going to feel like the mid to upper 90s out. There and we are saying hey, we have the potential again for the first heat wave of 2015. But this is looking pretty solid. If we can hit 90 today, we think weve got it in the bag. So yesterday, a high of 88. Today at least a high of 90. And tomorrow, 92. Monday, 93. All the while, humidity levels are increasing as well. Making it feel even hotter out there. And on the vortex satellite and radar picture, what we know is that we have some more clouds to the north of the city. And a few stray showers as well. And this is a general trend for today. There is a slight chance for showers. Maybe a stray thunderstorm to the north of the city but otherwise, it is going to be a mostly sunny and very hot start to your weekend. And most of us will stay with the sunshine. And thats because we have the big area of High Pressure dominating the forecast. And with this, it is not just today, it is not just tomorrow, it is monday, tuesday, wednesday, and this High Pressure system is here to stay for a while. Yes, we have chances for showers and thunderstorms, but truthfully, friday looking like the best bet and fla that is certainly a ways away. Hour by hour, taking through the the forecast. Today, mostly sunny with the chance of showers mainly to the north of the city. Note it gets very, very close. So a chance of that happening, and the rest of us, mostly sunny skies. And overnight mostly clear. A very comfortable night. And with humidity levels really starting to increase as we go through the day tomorrow. And so tomorrow, it is mostly sunny. And looking good. And maybe a stray shower again for the north. But we do think tomorrow is an even more dry day than today. And then on monday, a chance again of showers and storms. This is not widespread opportunity for rain by any stretch. They are more popup afternoon showers and storms. The beach forecast looks like this. For today, a warm start. Mid80s. Southwest winds 510. Tomorrow, a warm finish. Mid to upper 80s. Water temperature 68 to 76 degrees. And low risk of rip currents. A nice change of pace to report. The mountain forecast, 20 chance of a shower or storm today. Tomorrow, a hot one and dry. The temperatures are nearing 90 in the mountains. Okay, here we go. The extended forecast, today it is 90 and mostly sunny with the chance to the north and overnight, 74 degrees. And mostly clear and mild. And getting a little more muggy tomorrow. And it feels like the mid90s under mostly sunny skies. And 93 on monday. We will feel like the mid to upper 90s. And we have a chance for showers and storms monday and tuesday. As well as wednesday. Thursday right now looks dry. And friday i think is the best bet for wet weather for everybody. And so three days straight, with 90 or above is a heat wave. And right now we are forecasting four days straight and it all hangs on today. Can we make it today . And can we make it on tuesday . Im not each sure, am i rooting for a heat wave or not . I cant really tell. We tried once before. It didnt happen. At least for my own personal wellbeing, i hope we get this one. We have to bear the brunt of 90degree weather we should be able to call it a heat wave. I think so. We will have to see. Thank you very much, vanessa. The yankees win. Ending the Toronto Blue Jays 11 game winning streak. Here is Otis Livingston with the sports update. After getting swept by the blue jays last weekend, in the bronx, yankees were trying to return the favor in toronto. Beginning last night. Half game back with the jays. First place. And just so happened to be going for the 12th straight win. Evan nova lost to them last time out. Got nicked out again. Falling behind 30 in the third. It looked like the price was right in toronto. Newly acquired david price, he is undefeated for his career at the rogers center. Struck out six in 7 and 1 3 innings and left with a 31 lead in the eighth and the yankees took the lead off the bat of bar lose beltran. Three run pop to make it 43. And the last few outs were longer than expected. Tying on winning runs and it took Anthony Miller 12 pitches to put away troy. It snapped torontos 11 game winning streak. Yankees back in first place. 43 the final. Mets and pirates. Bartolo colon, got even with yoenis cespedes. And second as a met. And ties it at one. Cologne settles down nicely after the hiccup in the first. Left with a no decision after striking out seven in seven innings. Extra innings.
