And for game one tonight, the players are expecting the same as the fans gathered at the gates of citi field nearly three hours before first pitch. I talked to those fans, many of them are very aware of their importance in the ballpark tonight. Being a mets fan, what do you think your significance is at this game tonight to keep citi field loud . I think its important. We watched the other games, and the fans energy is tremendous.

Today is the first full day of a nationwide strike for uber drivers, calling for an increase in fees. Dan bowens has more on the weekends protest. Of a call for uber drivers to turn off their apps and demand higher wages. I think its a warranted request. I dont think its unreasonable. Plenty of people work with benefits. I dont blame them. A petition on social media drawing more than 1300 supporters. Demands include raising fares and adding a tip option. If you feel like the cars clean, you got there on time or whatever it is, you dont have to tip. You can have an option from 020 . Uber drivers are considered private contractors and operate their own vehicles, paying for gas, insurance and upkeep. Many say theyre striking because theyre bound by rules that treat them like mows. Employees. Believe me, im really thinking to trick for another job, because its not really worth it. Because youtubeer drivers arent unionized, it would be hard to penalize those who dont work this weekend. Its also hard to determine just how many are participating in the strike. A quick check of the app outside can see there are plenty of options. If youre part of the sharing economy, how do you negotiate with the app that youre working through . Its pretty much impossible unless you can organize through social media all of the other people like you into these collective actions. Eric is assistant managing editor of cranes new york business. He says the looselyorganized drivers up against a 50 billion company have a tough battle but hold a very important bargaining chip. There is no uber without drivers. Uber doesnt even have cars, right . Its just an app thats a middleman between people with cars and passengers. So without the drivers, theyve got to keep their drivers happy. Uber didnt comment directly on this threeday strike, but they welcome all feedback from their drivers. From the news room, dan bowans, fox 5 news.

They say the average workweek is too long. How you could be spending less time at the office. She just wants to feel like herself again. Never thought i would be without relying on my cane. How this doctor is remarkably changing the lives of his patients. The big idea, coming up. Handcrafted. Layer by layer. The new macchiato from dunkin donuts. Experience the flavor of fall with a new hot or iced pumpkin macchiato. So, i needed to deposit a check. I was about to head to the bank, but out of nowhere it just started to rain. Like really rain. [clap of thunder] i did not want to go out. [clap of thunder] but then i was like duh, just use your phone. Mobiledeposittechnothingy to the rescue. A manhattan clinic is dramatically changing the lives of people who battle ms. That treatment involves patients who use their own stem cells to fight this disease. In this months big idea, liz dahlem introduces us to a young mother who is already seeing results. Very emotional thing for me to watch myself walking down the aisle. Like, oh, my god, that was me. Look at me now. Vicki guild cherishes her wedding video because it helps her remember what it was like to walk without pain. Not long after this video was taken, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She was just 24 years old. I was diagnosed in february of 2000. I knew something was going on two or three years before that. The mother of two young but the disease was progressing, eventually guild couldnt walk on her own. Since 2008 i went from somewhat relying on a cane to, like, barely being able to hold myself up. Determined to find a better treatment, vicki came to to the tish Ms Research Center of new york on the west side. She has been slowly getting worse over time and had begun to experience a lot of falls. When was the last time you fell . Probably [inaudible] the doctor started the center in 2006, dedicating his life to treating and researching the disease. Its a problem with the electrical system or the brain and spinal cord. When the electrical system affects the moving parts, you tend to get weakness of your legs. It can affect the eyes, it can affect bladder function, bowel function. Some 400,000 people have ms in the united states, and 2. 5 million around the world. There is still no cure. Theres groundbreaking research happening right in this lab. The team at the Research Center of new york is helping patients reverse their disability in a way thats never been done before. Recently, we have started an fdaapproved stem cell trial that uses the patients own stem cells which we take out from the bone marrow, and we try to inject it into the spinal fluid, and we are hoping that we can regenerate the insufficient material that is lost. This video shows doctors extractioning stem cells from the patients to bone marrow. A large needle goes into the chest or hip. Doctors suction a lifetime supply of stem cells out in about 30 seconds. Twenty patients are part of the study. Vicki is one of them and had the procedure done. He said youre going to feel like your breaths being taken away. I was glad they said that, because thats exactly how i felt for ten seconds. Researchers in the lab harvest stem cells from the bone marrow and manipulate them into brainlike stem cells. We are injecting these brain stem cells into the spinal fluid of patients in the hope that that regenerates material because they go to the areas of injury, and then they can repair. The results have been promising. Seven of ten patients have shown signs of improvement. Most patients will say they have a headache or a slight fever for one or two days, but other than that we havent had any side effects. Now vicki can walk without a cane for some time. Her legs are getting stronger. Push them together. With your leg strength, you should be walking without a cane. Before he came up with this procedure, there was nothing to give people hope. Its hard for you to imagine going back, im sure, to the way things are. No, i dont want to go back. Yeah. Nope. These are happy tears. Yes. Happy tears are good. The study will continue through april, and the findings will be submitted to the fda. The doctor hopes to bring relief to to other patients soon. It will be the first time a neurological disease like ms that you can actually reverse the symptoms. For vicki, she can envision a future when she walks again, maybe even walking her daughters down the aisle. Thinking about the future now is exciting. Who knows . Who know what is the future can hold. I never thought i would be walking without relying on my cane and my counter and anything i could grab onto. Its very exciting. Liz dahlem, fox 5 news. Its important to note since this is a clinical trial, there is no cost to receive the stem cell treatment.

All eyes are on Hillary Clinton this week as she Takes Center Stage away from the campaign trail. The president ial hopeful is set to testify before congress about the benghazi attacks. Meantime, her aide is the one in the spotlight. Foxs garrett tenny has more from washington. After meeting with the House Benghazi Committee for nearly eight hours, huma abedin said she came to be as helpful as she could be. I answered their questions to that, ill be making no further comment. Sources say she wasnt e evasive in her answers but her testimony did little to fill in the gaps of all the key timing and events surrounding the benghazi attacks, including how thensecretary clinton responded the night they occurred. Still unclear what was in those conversations, and we didnt know of course, i dont think she knew that. So thats going to be an interesting point, is exactly what were in these conversations, and who all did she talk to that night. This coming thursday the committee will have its chance to ask clinton herself when she appears before the panel to publicly testify. Clinton and her campaign, though, are attempting to raise further doubts about the committees investigation. I think its pretty clear that whatever they might have thought they were doing, they ended up becoming a partisan arm of the Republican National focus on trying to, as they admitted, drive down my poll numbers. We have a task. Were going to complete it. When we present that, i am confident the American People will say this was a professionallyconducted investigation.

Fish tanks can be so beautiful to look at but no fun to clean. They come in all shapes and sizes, so imagine having to clean a 2,000gone tank. Our jennifer la mers dives into the task in the latest evasion of jen at work. Is Staten Island ferry terminal. Thousands of people come through here every day, and while they wait, they have this 2,000gallon aquarium and these big guys to keep them entertained. I met with Brian Sanders of city aquarium, a company that specializes in cleaning tanks big and small. What kinds of fish are we talking about . Well, jen, in this case we have sick lids, we have lots of exotic south american freshwater fish. And today id be swimming with these fishes to clean out the tank. Casey is an acquire rest. I didnt even know there was such a thing. Yes, there are. Thats great. Im just going to take your lead on this. Okay. So lets get started now. Okay. So im going to sit here yes. Getting into the tank was awkward, but at least no one was watching or recording the entire thing. Casey and i agreed on a strategy; he would work from one side, i would do the other. You know, theres actually not that much air moving around here. Casey does this once a week, scrubbing the tank and refilling it with fresh, clean water. The whole process takes a little over an hour and is much more uncomfortable for casey than the fish. You know what im saying, a little dodo . If youre claustrophobic, this job is not for you. In some spots there was only a 6inch gap for you to move. I have a booty, i have a booty. You can do it looking good. There might be fish over there, so be careful. [laughter] dont freak out, jen. Hey, jen [laughter] jen, dont freak out. Hey, i wasnt the one freaking out here, okay . Really it was the fish. Now slowly move towards you. [laughter] whoa. Theyre feisty today. Was that a bite or a kiss . I still dont know. Between the lack of oxygen, the waste, the algae, the tight spaces and the fish jumping out of the water and biting you on the face, this job is the toughest and the dirtiest ive been on yet. Okay, casey. So i feel like weve been through a lot together. Yes, we have. [laughter] how would you grade me . A c. A c . Actually, no, not a c. Ill give you a b only because you freaked out a lot, but thats normal for your first time. Ill take a b. Thats what ive been averaging so far. [laughter] at work on Staten Island, jennifer lahmers, fox 5 news. You ever have down time at work to check facebook or instagram . Some employers think the workweek is too long. Why they want to cut hours to increase your productivity. But first, a message from lou he oweny. New york city is going to pot. Literally and figuratively. Since the day mayor bill de blasio forced his Police Commissioner to hold up this bag of fake dope, new yorkers have taken it as an invitation to light up whenever and wherever they like. Just this week, commissioner bratton stumble on a young schoolgirl happily puffing away. All of a sudden, there it is, that smell. And i said, what the hell . Its 8 30 on wall street. I had one of my officers, and were walking along, and i said, where the hell is that coming from . Brattons detail gave the girl a verbal spanking, confiscated her weed and sent her on her way. Many ore issues we have in new york city reflect this sort of zonedout, carefree attitude. Take times square. Look what is happening to our schools. The New York Post points out the city continues to spend money on recess coaches and playgrounds to teach kids how to play while the mayor continues to drag his feet on producing suitable space for effective charter schools. De blasio has also been traveling the country to advance his Progressive Agenda agenda. And did you know he is using money from his slush fund heroin is the fuse, lsd is the bomb. I dont think it is so far out that i see a link between pot smoking in the streets and a zonedout mayor on his way to iowa to promote a National Agenda when he should just stay home and deal with new york citys issues. I got high, come get this. I was at my shop tied up with a customer when i realized the time. I had to get to the so i made a break for it. When i got out it was almost closing time. Traffic was bad. I knew i was cutting it close. But it was ok. I use td bank. Its got the longest hours and stays open an extra ten minutes every day. Im sid. The new jersey home where Bruce Springsteen wrote born to run is up for sale, and its more affordable than you might think. The twobedroom, onebath complex is currently listed for 299,000. When the boss represented the place rented the place, he wrote born to run, thunder road and back streets. The house is also the springsteen fan tours given on the jersey shore. All right. Balancing your work life and social life may soon get a lot easier. Many offices are embracing a firm 40hour workweek. The goal being to improve worker efficiency and attract employees looking for better balance in their lives. We have this story from midtown. The average american workweek is almost 47 hours, but some Companies Feel that means a lot mandating firm 40hour workweek. How much time are you spending on work . 4550 hours. 4050. 60 hours a week. I get in the Office Around 7, and im just leaving at 7, and now im heading to a client dinner. It never ends. It never ends. Now some are saying enough is enough. The wall street journal reporting in order to maximize productivity and achieve a work life balance, several Small Companies are enforcing a strict eighthour work day which means no midnight emails from the boss. If my company said i cant work more than 40 hours, id be okay with that. I think that makes sense in a way. I definitely think that it would work, have been people work harder. I always say i dont need the full work day to get things done. If my workload says ive got to have it done by this time and i only have 40 hours to do it, less time for facebook. When people have a Higher Quality of life, they have more time to be with their family, friends, theyre happier. But according to thyme inc. s chief Human Resources officer, the 40hour workweek is not the key to success. People are social creatures. The workplace is their community, and they love to come in and talk about what was the big headline on the news or what was on the cover of a major magazine or what happened on scandal the night before. If you have all work and no play at work, it doesnt create a great culture. Its really hard to mandate that people only work when theyre working and that they complete hi plug out when theyre not completely plug out when theyre not working. His solution . Making sure you create a Flexible Work force where youre not so prescriptive and so mandatory about how they spend their time. You should be looking at outputs and not measuring when theyre coming and going and what theyre doing every minute of the day. Baruch shemtov, fox 5 news.

Its the first night where were going to see widespread temperatures in the 20s and 30s, especially northwest of the city. And thats where we have a freeze warning in effect. If you have any potted plants outside that you can bring indoors, probably a good idea to do so. That would be for the upper Hudson Valley, parts of connecticut and also new jersey. Sunshine tomorrow morning with the chilly air in place, were going to see a couple of extra clouds in the afternoon. Cant rule out a brief sprinkle, but the day is basically dry. The coldest day of the season so far. Some of us will not even get to 50 degrees, but the cold weathers not going to last too long. Were going to see a warmup for the upcoming week, and temperatures will rebound nicely. We will be in the 60s. So today we topped out near 56, a pretty good start to the weekend. A mix of sun and clouds, really a nice sky. Certainly, the breeze did make it feel chilly. Typically, we still do get to 63 this time of year. We werent able to do it today, and we certainly wont be able to do it tomorrow. Well be a good 1015 degrees colder than norm normal. If youre heading out for dinner, 51 in central park, 50 at islip. Monticello, 37. Youre one of the spots thatll be down into the 20s when you wake up tomorrow morning. And right now 51 in newark and 47 in allentown. Still a little bit of a breeze, makes it feel colder, so have the heavier jacket. Winds are out of the north and west about 515 miles per hour, dragging in drier air but also that colder air from canada, and it is with us to finish off the weekend. So overnight tonight skies are mainly clear. Ive been seeing some photos even on facebook of snow showers through the catskills, upstate new york by lake placid and parts of pennsylvania. That will not be reaching us. We do at least have High Pressure in place, so were just looking at a couple extra clouds from time to time and the colder air pouring in from canada. Look at all those lake effect snow showers. It is certainly that time of year. Overnight tonight were going to keep things dry. A couple extra scattered clouds around tomorrow. Around 3 00 theres your tiny, tiny chance of a brief sprinkle. We have sunshine heading into the upcoming week, and it wont be bad and temperatures begin to get a little bit warmer. Overnight tonight mainly clear, 2838. The coldest spots knot and west north and west. Not a bad night though since were able to keep things dry. Sunshine tomorrow morning. Well make it up to about 50. Thats it. A little bit breezy. Well keep it chilly, and on monday, sunshine, 52. Temperatures will be rebounding into the 60s, maybe your next chance of showers on thursday. Christina . All right, samantha. Thanks a lot. Tina cervasios live at citi hi, christina. Were getting ready for game one of the National League championship series between the mets and the cubs, and in this best of seven series, the mets hope to be celebrating again when it is all said and done as they try to punch their ticket to the world series.

This 2015 nlcs is the firstever playoff meeting between the mets and the cubs. But mets players are confident just knowing that game one is being played right here at citi field. And game one starter, matt harvey was in the same position as the starter for game three in the Division Series and credits the mets fans for his performance. It was electric. I think from the first pitch on and, you know, the mets fans have been great all year. They kind of took things to a different level this past series, and the excitement of new york is definitely coming alive for new york mets, and we can feel it. Meanwhile, these mets players have a chemistry in the clubhouse that we havent seen in decades, and today before the game manager Terry Collins not only talked about how excited one, but why they are ready to play. Theyre pretty fired up. I mean, as you saw after the game the other night, theyre pretty excited. Just talked to a bunch of the guys today, theyre extremely excited to get this thing going tonight. We like the matchups we have, and well be ready to play. Now, there is a change in the starting lineup. Michael cuddyer will start at first base, sending lucas duda to the bench, and the reason collins is going with the veteran is because he has faced cubs starting pitcher jon lester many times before in the american league. And we know about jon lester, hes a big game pitcher. Hes shown it in the last few years. But michaels seen him, he knows how to face him, so we thought itd be a good matchup for him. All right. Now lets go to game two of the alcs, royals hosting the blue jays. Now, the royals were trailing 30 going into the bottom of the enisth inning, then seventh inning. Alex gordon singles to right scoring a lead run. That is a fiverun inning putting kansas city up 53 over the jays right now. We will have ap update, of course, on the alcs and give you the latest between the mets and the cubs on fox news at 10 p. M. Be sure to tune in then, but right now i can hear the fans as theyre making their way into citi field. Theyre trying to stay warm in this cold weather, but one thing we know for sure, mets fans will be loud for game one between the mets and cubs in the nlcs. Live at citi field, im tina cervasio, christina, back to you. Please, god, let them win tonight. Tina, thank you so much. Mets fans looked really cold out there. Even with the screaming and energy out there. Hopefully, their energy and all that excitement will keep them warm a little bit. And a victory as well. Thats right. Okay. So much excitement for the fans, and we are chilly. Temperatures are going to be in the 40s for most of the game. Wow. That breeze, yeah, you feel it. Tomorrow we start the day with sun, some clouds, 50. So very chilly to finish off the weekend, and we could be talking about frost and a freeze again tomorrow night.
