let's see how long it takes. we are now approaching exit 13 to new hampshire avenue in silver spring. we got here in five minutes. now, if we were actually paying for the tolls, it would cost us $2.30 to take that exit. remember, we started back and made it here in eight minutes. if we were paying tolls it would cost us $2.95 at this point. now, this is our exit point from the icc and it took us exactly ten minutes, and let's say 50 seconds to get here. but if we were actually paying tolls it would have cost us $3.90. so we asked drivers using the icc what did they think. >> very nice. took 25 minutes and without it 45 minutes.

>> you came from where to where? >> 95. >> reporter: to here? how long did it take you? >> ten minutes. >> reporter: to test it without the icc, we tried going back to georgia avenue by only using 198, and we are back here, georgia avenue, and as you can see, it took us almost 20 minutes to get here without using the icc, so without question it's a lot faster. folks who were wondering if you could find route 200 on the gps system, it depends on the gps system. this one does show it, but some may not. without question, the icc is faster and it will be free until december 5th. i am tracee wilkins, reporting from the icc. meanwhile, metro is gearing up for the busy thanksgiving weekend.

me, and the relationship grew to a fatherly figure. >> reporter: from penn state athletic events to overnight out of town trips to see nfl games, and on many other weekends during the football season, frankie says he would stay at sandusky's home, almost always as a family member. did you shower together? >> we would shower after athletic events, but i just looked at it at getting in the shower. >> reporter: was there anytime he tried to touch you, that was an inappropriate touch or at the gentles? >> no, not that i recall. he did put his hand on your leg when he drove. >> reporter: where on your leg? >> right by the knee. >> reporter: so when he was driving, he should have two hands on the steering wheel, and

and the super committee, not so super without getting a deal done. and then third quarter gdp, from 2.5% to 2%. they were expecting a downward revision, but not by as much. the takeaway, we're not going into the recession and not seeing the bounce back. we are just not getting it. i want to point out, hewlett-packard, a lot of people own this stock and it's selling off. the reported earnings did meet expectations, and they are no longer giving guidance of revenue, just giving it on profits. they want to focus on making money and not be so concerned with growing revenue. hewlett-packard down again. and we lose perspective on this. we have a holiday, and the rest

of the world doesn't. things could happen in asia and europe while we are stuffing our faces, so investors are worried about what will happen as we sit back and watch the lions or whatever team we're watching. >> well, i am looking forward to it. we'll get through the weekend and enjoy it and then be back to work. stock market will be open on friday, right? >> yeah, a half day, although i am taking it off. don't tell anybody. there's no technology that makes it possible to scan your skin and report subsurface skin conditions such as wrinkles and spots and unevenness and photo damage. with the information from this technology, dermatologist can create a skin plan for you. tell us what you brought with you? >> i have a couple things that i use in my office. this is what we call a wood slam. when you have discoloration in your skin, it could be

superficial or deep. this device, turning it on, it's kind of purple. when we are in a dark room, it highlights what we call ep determine annual pigment. when you are in a dark room, we shine it over the skin. white will actually floor yes, like a dark poster and dark will look black. we can tell what pigment is it. this is one device. whereas this device here is what we use and it has a reading and it's quantitative in its determination of your pigment. if i do this on the back of your

hand, it's calibrated to 98.4, and your reading is a 54.7. and if i do my reading, my reading is 32. so the lower the number, the darker the complexion. >> what information does that give you to help you treat problems that somebody might have on their face? >> well, if you have pigment change in your skin, i want to know what your true color is, but i also want to know what the dark color is so i know how to bring those two colors, those numbers together. >> how would you treat it then? >> well, we treat it with bleaching agents and lightening agents and some will lighten faster than others. when patients come into the office, they can't really tell if something is working, and then i put the meter on it and i can determine if their numbers

have changed. >> this is somebody who has been treated after you have looked and seen the difference. tell us about that. >> this is the example i was mentioning. this is ma laz ma on the left side and treatment on the right side. beginning, you want to determine what her normal complexion is compared to the dark areas, and this will give me a value. so what i am trying to do is even her color by looking at it, not just appearance wise, but scientifically. >> any other ways of doing it other than creams to lighten it? >> yes, chemical peeling, and microdetermine abrasion. and so we can measure that difference, and we can recommend more of a sanding of the skin, which is a light abrasion, to allow the home preparations to penetrate deeper, or chemical peeling.

>> these are problems that people of all different back grounds face? >> exactly. >> thank you. that was interesting to see how deep those discolorations go. thank you. coming up, the frederickburg's mom camped out for justin bieber. on "ellen," the two most adorable girls are interviewing all the
