his son. he advertised he's very rich and very single. eva. not sure how many calories are in there plate of spaghetti or whether to order another basket of fries. there's an app for that. the app called im2 calories was unveiled at a tech conference in boston. it uses algorithms to analyze food images and estimate the number of calories in your meal. the best part you don't even need to show it in a high resolution picture. no word on when google will be able to release the app to the general public. i'm in no rush. >> i don't i don't need to know what i'm eating. beginning with the end of the year awards it has parents were one texas classroom fuming. this is a certificate that middle school students brought home to their parents.

it reads the eighth annual ghetto classroom awards and the huh award alongside two teachers names and the principal. the principal says he never signed off on this certificate. one of the teachers not only signed it she gave the award to as many as 60 kids last year. one grandmother says that that teacher really understood what that word meant, she would be ashamed. >> when i was growing up they segregated us and they put us at a part where they said that we were ghetto. >> the school has launched an investigation into the awards. the parents meanwhile are demanding an apology. now to vermont where a battle over a barrier is heating up. ruth wire has lived on her farm for over 40 years without a neighbor in sight. that all changed two years ago with the construction of a new home overlooking her farm and all of its 150 animals. now, dwyer claims along with the initial build process the general noise of a neighbor has been disturb her livestock

so to deal with the traction she planted feeder trees along her property. the problem they'll take years to grow. in the meantime she put up a 60 by 24-foot temporary screen. not only has the barrier annoyed her neighbors it has become a zoning issue. the town has been fining dwyer $200 a day since they ordered her to take it down in march. despite wracking up over $15,000 in fines, dwyer says the screen isn't coming down. and finally barbie is getting a break. at least her feet are. after 56 years of standing in ridiculously high heels barbie is getting to wear flats. now, if you play or have played with barbie, you know this is huge because barbie's feet were permanently in that heeled position and you couldn't put flats on her and expect they would stay on. that is no more. she now has adjustable ankles and the new shoe collection is enough to make any budding fashionista swoon. in addition to the new

footwear barbie's maker mattel has made new doll that is have different facial features, skin tones eye color and hair color. you can pick up one of the new dolls for 10 bucks. >> i think can end was wearing her shoes anyway. time to get another check on the road waits tonight. matt pelman back in the "action news" traffic center with an update. how are we looking matt. >> speeds are a little bit flat as well. we wish we could adjust them. instead it is just a slow go. i think a lot of people have the same idea this afternoon. sounds like it's going to be a decent weekend so they're headed down the shore and things have been extra heavy on 42 southbound from the walt whitman bridge towards the a.c. expressway. delays spilling back here in camden on the southbound side of 676 and spilling back onto the walt whitman bridge itself. in fact, the whole way across the river you see on the schuylkill eastbound approaching the walt whitman just 17 miles per hour. 95 also has delays in each direction headed toward the walt whitman bridge. and we have a truck that broke down in the curve a bad spot

for it, 295 right by 42. speeds just 5 miles per hour headed toward that broken down truck. closer to the shore still have the problems kind of between tuckahoe and seaville. an accident investigation blocking all lanes by route nine. near dino's seaville diner so if you're headed toward the shore, maybe stay up on tuckahoe road into marmora or stay on 550 as some alternates. heading the other direction, i don't know why you would want to but headed away from the shore 55 northbound has a crash near schooner landing road and of course in wilmington we still have all the closures today and through the afternoon tomorrow because of the beau biden funeral. bunch of streets, five of them blocked off through tomorrow afternoon for the funeral. we'll check it again rick and eva coming up at 5 o'clock. >> okay, thank you again. >> stepping outside sky 6hd taking a live look for us. >> meteorologist adam joseph will have the exclusive accuweather forecast and a look at that weekend a sunnier weekend when we come right back. stay with us.

and earliest that's why the temperatures warmer north and west. millville bouncing back to 70 degrees but again right along the shore, the combination of the clouds still lingering and that wind can coming in right off of that cold ocean we're only in the upper 50's to low 60's. low pressure that's been spinning to our south and east is finally starting to push away just a little bit allowing for us to rip the clouds apart inland. there is a front to the north and west. that front will slip through late tonight and during the morning hours tomorrow. partly cloudy overnight comfortable though, 58 in the suburbs, 61 for center city. future tracker as we get into the morning hours we'll quake up and you'll go okay, the june gloom is back and even through 1 o'clock there could be some downpours or thunderstorms firing up south of philadelphia from wilmington millville dover towards cape may county with sunshine returning to the north first in the early afternoon. by mid to late afternoon that sunshine will return pretty much all the way down to the shore and even as far south as dover, so it's going to take a

little longer if you're south of philadelphia to clear the skies tomorrow. so, high pressure coming in, it's a little slower than it originally wanted to and that's why we have that cloudy start and maybe a couple of downpours south of the city but a bright finish tomorrow at 80 degrees and then that high settles right overhead here on sunday. beautiful low humidity for everybody and a temperature of 78 degrees. if you're heading to the poconos for nascar this coming weekend looking pretty good. dry both days, 73. tomorrow 70 degrees. on sunday sunny, nice for the big race, low humidity. again, 60 degrees for that ocean temperature. and tomorrow a lot of clouds and a few showers for the first part of the day some sun late at 74 but an east wind sea breeze on sunday, 69 degrees but sunday is your sunny day from start to finish down the shore. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow's that transition day, up to 80 degrees. sunny, gorgeous low humidity sunday of 78. a pair of 84's for the beginning of next week.
