good morning. everybody. welcome to "news4 midday." i am barbara harrison. it's tuesday, november 8th, 2011. we begin with breaking news. a 17-year-old shot in georgetown on halloween has died. he has been in the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. d.c. police have not released the victim's name. investigators did take somebody into custody shortly after the shooting, but that person has not been charged with the teenager's murder. the shooting on m street was one of six shootings in d.c. on halloween night. he denied all the allegations. once claimed the subject was the end of the story, but herman

cain is holding a news conference to address the sexual allegations against him. and we have news on the fifth woman that has come forward in the herman cain situation. >> good morning, barbara. we have heard from a fourth accuser and a former government worker from arlington is speaking out. a woman worked for the u.s. agency for u.s. national development said cain wanted her to arrange a dinner date with a woman that requested a question in 2008, and he was married at the time and she told the paper, quote, i couldn't swear that he had untwoerd intentions, and we felt it was suspect and didn't feel comfortable putting him in contact with that woman. and he asked her to dinner, and danella said there was no inappropriate sexual behavior.

she adds that he ordered $700 worth of wine and left the group with the bill. as for a response to cain's camp, they referred him to the press conference happening later today. she voted for barack obama, and she said she felt the need to speak out after more serious allegations of sexual harassment surfaced. sharon bialek says she groped her 14 years ago. she spoke about why she never filed a complaint. >> first reaction is you are embarrassed. i did have a boyfriend and i did not share the details with him and he said it would be another he said she said things, and it was the late '90s, and unfortunately we're still not where we should be in these types of cases. >> hours after she went public, herman cain fought back saying all things considered i am still

alive. >> they could see steam coming out of my ears, and the feelings that you have when you know that all of this is totally fabricated. there's not an ounce of truth in all of the accusations. >> bialek has filed bankruptcy twice and has not been paid for her story. >> in virginia, all 140 seats are up for grabs and republicans are looking to gain control of both chambers for the second time since the civil war. megan mcgrath has been visiting polling places all over and now joins us. >> reporter: certainly the republican party is hoping to pick up at least two seats here today so they can shift the balance of power in the senate. now we are here in senate district 13, one of the newly

created districts, and this is seen by the gop as one of the best chances to pick up a seat here today. now we have been around this morning and have gone to another polling place and talked to people, and what we are hearing is voter turnout is rather low at this particular location here, the little river elementary school, we were talking to the folks inside the polls, and they are seeing 10% at this point in terms of the turnout. they are hoping that will improve later in the day, though. a small line of voters waited for the doors to open at the elementary school this morning. there may not be statewide or national races on the ballot, but they say that doesn't matter. >> i think it's extremely important for your voice to be heard. one person's vote does make a difference. >> voter turnout is expected to be light. that was certainly the case. what did you think of the turnout you have seen? >> not much.

so i mean, it was pretty empty in there. >> reporter: redistricting added confusion to the mix. with new boundaries come new polling places for some voters. dick black and shawn mitchell are facing off, and republicans are hoping for the victory. the gop only needs two seats to take control of the senate from the democrats. the importance of the contest is not lost on those who cast their ballots this morning. >> i think, you know, there's a lot of people in the country that are upset with the way things are going and it's the quickest way to show people in power that we do have a choice and have a change in mind. >> i am typically a democrat, and i don't want to see the republicans win the senate, so yes, that was one of the factors. >> absolutely important. kind of a test for the presidential race for next year.

>> reporter: we will keep an eye on things. they had issues with the voter database, and there were problems with the system and people were being put into the wrong precincts, and they were given information at the wrong precincts, so there are folks finding out they are in the wrong place and they can't cast a ballot. now, we will keep an eye on that. no reports of any widespread problems as of yet. folks who want to vote, the polls are open until 7:00 tonight. barbara, back to you. >> maybe voter turnout will pick up later. >> reporter: that is the hope, when people get off work. >> thank you for that report. voters in maryland are headed to the polls as well. college park, greenbelt, rockville and tacoma park are holding elections today. the polls at six locations will close at 8:00 tonight, so there is still time. today there's a new effort

to make the district a state. we have more from the unveiling. >> reporter: some 600,000 people live in our nation's capital, generating more than $3 billion in federal income taxes. the fight for statehood and representation in congress is decades and some say centuries old. at city hall, d.c. leaders launch add new website to promote the effort. www.statehooddc.com. >> reporter: there's history and facts and a petition. it was recently reintroduced, and the last bill had a majority support in both houses but failed to pass with a gun amendment attached to it.

the doctor is here to show us what to do. it's never too early to start, but is it too late? >> no, it's just about the right time in order for you to see results. >> let's find out. how do we get started? >> first with skin care, it takes sometimes five to six weeks to really get the affects of skin care, so you want to get started on those now if you are doing exfoliation, hydration procedures, or you are trying to lighten dark areas on your skin, or an overall skin rejuvenation. i think starting out about six weeks before whenever, you know, the big party or the big affair or christmas or whatever holiday that you celebrate, you want to do it in plenty of time so you are glowing at that time. >> is there anything that you should say that we should go out and purchase to get going with this plan? >> some products do work faster

if you get cosmo pharmaceuticals. you don't want to do anything right before an event, because if something goes wrong you don't have time to repair it. never do anything a month before the event. >> now you are talking about botox and fillers? >> yeah, a lot of people get that done around the holidays. common side effects from the products and injectables is that the injectables you can bruise, and then you are going to a party with a big bruise you have to camouflage with makeup. anybody giving surgical procedures, the surgeon may tell you you will bounce back and be able to be out in public in two weeks, and sometimes it's six weeks. >> this includes botox? you say you need to get that done ahead of time. there's a wait time for botox to work. >> it usually takes affect in three to five days, but it could

take up to two weeks in some individuals. so if you want it just right, i would start two weeks before. >> can you fix it if it messes up? >> oh, sure. oh, yes. definitely. that's why we say don't do it right before the event. at least two weeks out for the preparations, such as the neuro toxins. they are all injected the same way and last about the same time and may need tweaking. >> if you end up with the crazy eye brows, you can get that fixed? >> yes. correct. >> that's good to know. what about hydration. that's important, too, right? >> it's very important. during the holiday season, a lot of people drink alcohol or the spiked eggnog, and alcohol is one of the best die rarhettics

you can take. you are eliminating a lot of water in your system, and what can kind of give you the hangover affect is the dehydration affect, so when you feel the side effects of alcohol or what have you, you are really dehydrated, and water because it's h2o, you are dehydratindeh. >> if you get plenty of rest, and in the hours at night vary between people, you know, as far as what is a good night's rest, but a night's rest, and hydration, and good skin care products, products you will use in the morning to protect your skin and those that you use at night to repair. >> some people want to know, is this is good time of year to use self tanner? >> oh, absolutely. yes. when you have that backless

dress on, you want to look kind of tanned. definitely. if you don't want the skin to look really light -- i mean, this is for all skin types. most white skin or white people think that they are the only ones that really look forward to using self tanners, but i can use a self tanner if i want to look a certain way. >> gives you a glow. >> yes, a glow. yes. >> thanks so much. >> thank you. our time is 11:51. coming up, big news from the duggar family. and tom kierein will be back with how long the beautiful
