identified. the state news agency says those in the back of the plane suffered injuries consistent with an explosion. the tail was found three miles from the rest of the plane. they're now examining a repair job on a tail that was damaged hitting the ground 14 years ago. the terror group isis is active in egypt and claims it downed the plane. the truth will likely emerge from the two flight recorders. investigators analyzing these now but making nothing public. isis today has repeated its claim saying "we downed the plane, we don't have to tell you how we did it." nbc news has authenticated that comes from a recognized isis source. if it was a bomb, there will be evidence -- explosivove residuea timing device like a circuit board found in december '98 when pan am 103 exploded over lockerbie, scotland, but so far

advances in diagnosing and treating chronic disease are allowing most people to live longer lives, but a new study shows death rates are climbing among white middle aged adults. researchers say the rise in deaths isn't caused by chronic disease, instead it's caused by an epidemic of suicides and substance abuse among the less educated. the death rate for middle aged americans with no more than a high school education grew by 20%. meanwhile, the death rate fell for those who went to college. women who are depressed during their second trimester of pregnant i have more likely to be sedentary and more at risk for extra weight gain and gestational diabetes. scientists recommend earlier

comes to intimacy. to avoid that, researchers say chores need to be taken care of in a way that feels balanced to both spouses. i won't try to transition from that to our next story. we have an interview coming up. the stars will be shining bright next weekend for a big black tie gala in center city, philadelphia. instead of movie stars and other celebrities walking the red carpet, this time some very special kids are in the spotlight. stephanie tomko is here to talk about the little smiles stars ball and she's joined by courtney simmons who's going to this year's ball, you've been to a few. we'll talk about your experience in just a moment. but steph i want to talk to you. tell us about little whiles and why it's important for kids to have this event. >> little smiles is a nonprofit organization that partners with hospitals and shelters in the area. we work directly with social workers and nurses and they submit requests to us for kids in their care. so each year our biggest fund-raiser of the year is the

you're not pretty and all of these things and for one night you get someone else to make you all pretty and to doll you up and then you get to the salon and everyone's like what can i get for you? what kind of makeup do you want? and they make you feel so special. then you finally get to the event and i remember sitting in a limo waiting and waiting as we got out and the people were screaming our names and taking pictures. it was like, gosh. so we walked down the red carpet and everyone is screaming your name, you can't figure out how everyone knows your name and they're waiting for your autograph. i felt like i was on top of the world for that night and so i've gone back every year just to watch the look on other kids' faces. >> wonderful. great to hear. thank you for being with us. we have more information about the little smiles stars ball, a night at the oscars. it's happening next saturday, november 14, from 6:00 in the evening to 11:00 in the evening at the philadelphia marriott downtown. for more information, if people would like to get involved they can, right? >> go to

www.phillystarsball.com. all of the information for tickets and timing and all the exciting events is right there. >> awesome. thanks, steph. thank you, courtney for being here and telling us about your experience. glad to see you're doing well. >> thank you, guys. thank you. certainly not feeling like november out there and we've got the warm weather to last through the end of the week. another beautiful day with lots of sunshine. not as sunny tomorrow. we're tracking showers, some could affect the area tomorrow and also some potential record warmth. at least near record warmth. we have clear skies now. 71 degrees. an east wind is the only thing

preventing us from getting significantly warmer. 71 in mount holly, 73 in millville. we're getting a bit of a sea breeze so it won't be that warm at the beaches but it's incredible, another beauty. we have moisture the south and that will be creeping up the coast over the next 24 hours. we'll probably wake up to cloudy skies but look at the temperatures. 70s across much of the area except much cooler at the beaches. as we go into the evening hours and overnight, watch these clouds coming in from the ocean. these are low clouds. the rest of the atmosphere above that is still pretty dry so about the most you can get, a few little drizzle drops or sprinkles out of it as we go into tomorrow morning. there you can see by tomorrow morning it's fairly cloudy. it doesn't prevent the temperature from getting fairly

warm but maybe just barely to 70 instead of closer to 80 degrees. you also see a few it will potential showers there during the afternoon. then on friday what we'll watch is a front coming in from the west. that's going to help clear some of this stuff out. so friday morning we could start off on the cloudy side and then as we get more sunshine, the temperature goes up then and, of course, it will depend on the sunshine, just how warm we get. friday looks to be another warm day, then front comes down, cooler air comes in over the weekend, especially on sunday but it won't last. it won't necessarily be in the 70s next week but it won't be that cold. sunny and unseasonably warm today, near record warmth, highs in the upper 70s. here in 70 tomorrow with clouds around. chance of a couple of showers.

friday a chance of a shower in the evening that is going get warm during the afternoon, if there's more sunshine it could get close to 80. delaware and extreme south jersey has showers saturday as the front stalls to the south temporarily then significantly colder sunday and monday before we warm up again. we'll be right back.
