Over 200 people are hospitalized after wild fires burn up the South East of Tennessee. They are all reporting the same problem: breathing issues. Fires are breaking out everywhere due to dry weather and high winds.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Over 30 large fires have burned more than 80,000 acres in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky, according to the US Forest Service.

"Dry weather, high winds and the continuing drought is driving the large growth of fires," Dave Martin of the US Forest Service's Southern Region said earlier this week. And because the fires are spread over several states, agencies' resources are being depleted, he added.

In Chattanooga, Tennessee, about 250 residents have been hospitalized since November 1 with shortness of breath and other respiratory issues, according to the state's Emergency Management Agency. More than half have gotten treatment since Friday, as residents struggled with heavy smoke and poor air quality.

Emergency workers in Tennessee have been trying to contain 67 fires burning nearly 16,000 acres. At least 15 new fires flared up Tuesday, according to the agency.

The fires prompted Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam to issue a ban on open-air burning in over half the state's counties.

Smoke reaches far

This isn't just an issue for those living close to wildfires, as winds have carried the smoke to cities miles away.

In Atlanta, where there are no wildfires, the air quality level was "unhealthy." That means "everyone may begin to experience health effects and members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects," according to the National Weather Service.

Pockets of wildfires burned in some parts of Northern Georgia.

The Rough Ridge Fire in the northwest area of the state is the biggest fire in Georgia. It has engulfed more than 21,533 acres and was 20% contained as of Tuesday, according to the US Forest Service.

On Monday, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal banned fireworks in the drought-affected counties, citing the ongoing "uncontrolled fires."

In response to the exceptionally dry conditions in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and southern Virginia, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and National Park Service placed fire restrictions along the southern portion of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail on Wednesday.

While the fires continue to burn, there is little rain in the forecast.

Some school systems, like Greenville County in South Carolina and Haywood County in North Carolina, are limiting outdoor physical activity. Students with respiratory conditions, those wishing to remain indoors during recess and athletes who usually practice outdoors are allowed to remain inside.

Kendrick Lamar releases new album of old songs he made in 2014 .

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kendrick Lamar pulled a Beyonce and released a surprise album -- well, he's calling it a "project" -- titled "untitled unmastered."

The collection of eight songs carry no creative titles. Instead, they're simply titled "untitled" with an accompanying date, presumably the date in which the song was recorded. A majority of the songs were recorded in 2014.

Some of the songs have been heard before by Lamar fans as the rapper has performed versions of them during performances on late night shows and during his most recent performance at the Grammy Awards.

The album comes as a surprise as Lamar is still riding high from the success of his sophomore album, "To Pimp a Butterfly," released last year. The album was nominated 11 times and won five Grammy awards.

"Untitled unmastered." appears to be a stripped-down continuation of "To Pimp a Butterfly." In fact, the Compton-bred rapper makes references to songs on the album -- "Mortal Man" and "King Kunta" -- on the new project. It also piggybacks on themes tackled on his sophomore album, such as God, sex and black empowerment. And the album provides more evidence of Lamar's love affair with jazz and live instrumentation.

Still, Lamar made it clear to call this album a "project" and not an album or even a mix-tape. It could be because the rapper plays with cadence throughout and even the songs -- some of which are nearly two minutes long while others are more than eight minutes long -- break the rules of a conventional EP.

Although there's many features on the album, Lamar doesn't credit anyone in typical album fashion. Still, it's pretty clear that label mate Sza is featured on "untitled 4 | 08.14.2014." Also, Cee Lo Green, Thundercat and Anna Wise lend their voices to the project.

Lamar's label head, Anthony Tiffith, the CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, hinted at a surprise release earlier this week on Instagram. "Ive decided 2 drop a project 1 day this week. I won't say wut day or who. It cud be 2nite So don't ask me jus stay close to the net," he wrote.

No one would've guessed it'd be King Kendrick.

When California single mother of six Mariza Ruelas joined the Facebook group 209 Food Spot a few years ago, she and other members would exchange recipes, meet for potlucks, and sometimes swap or sell their dishes among members.

So Ruelas said yes when a member of the group asked to buy her signature ceviche dish last December, not knowing it was an undercover investigator from San Joaquin County who, according to court documents, was on a sting because most members didn't have permits to sell food.

"Food prepared in a facility that does not inspect it creates a risk to the public," the county deputy district attorney tells FOX40. Ruelas maintains this wasn't a business venture, just a harmless hobby among like-minded folks.

She was one of several members to be cited for misdemeanors in the sting, but while everyone else accepted a plea deal, she has refused-her proposed plea bargain carried three years of probation, 80 hours of community service, and a $235 fine, reports the New York Daily News.

Now she faces up to a year in jail and is worried about what will happen to her kids. Ruelas, who called the sting a "waste of time and resources" in a Facebook post Friday, is due in court Wednesday.

Facebook, meanwhile, prohibits using the site to sell guns, ammunition, and drugs, but it doesn't mention food on its "Community Standards" page. (See why another single mom dressed up like a dad for a day.)

Five states consider legalizing marijuana

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's on the ballot in California, Massachusetts, Maine, Arizona and Nevada. Voters will also decide whether it should be used for medical reasons in four other states.

The drug is still illegal under federal law, but it has grown in popularity over the years. The number of adults who have smoked weed has nearly doubled in three years, according to a Gallup poll released in August.

It is the No. 1 illicit drug of choice for Americans, according to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use, although only one-third of users reported an addiction to the substance, unlikemost allthe other illicit drugs used.

Currently, it's legal to use recreational marijuana only in four states and in the District of Columbia. Colorado and Washington state voted to OK it in 2012. Alaska and Oregon voters approved it in 2014. Medical marijuana is legal in half of US states and is on state ballots this year in Montana, Florida and North Dakota. It will be on the ballot in Arkansas with two initiatives, but the results won't count for one of them, after the state Supreme Court struck the issue in October, due to invalid signatures.

For the states where recreational use is legal, it seems to have been a boost to the economy. The marijuana industry created more than 18,000 full-time jobs last year and generated $2.39 billion in economic activity inColorado, according to an analysis from the Marijuana Policy Group.

There have also been some health consequences. Emergency rooms have seen a significant increase in adult marijuana-related exposure cases.

The number of calls to poison control centers involving Colorado children has gone up, as has the number of children who've been taken to the hospital for treatment due to unintentional marijuana exposure, studies show. There have also been more school suspensions, marijuana-related traffic deaths, pet poisonings and lab explosions.

Here's what's on the ballot.

California

If marijuana becomes legal in California, the world's sixth-largest economy and the country's most populous state, it could have the biggest impact on the national scene.

In 1996, the state was the first to make medical marijuana legal.

A "yes" on Proposition 64 would make it legal for people 21 or older to use it recreationally. There would be a 15% sales tax, and its cultivation would be taxed. The money would be used in part tostudy drug research, to study treatment and to help withenforcement of the law.

The state's two largest newspapers back the measure, as does the California Democratic Party, while Republicans are against it.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told the Los Angeles Times Friday that she plans to vote in favor of it. That makes Pelosi the highest-ranking, sitting elected official in either political party to support legalizing a drug the federal government currently considers a Schedule 1 narcotic. A Schedule 1 narcotic is a drug with no currently accepted medical use and has a high potential for abuse. The category also includes heroin.

Massachusetts

Massachusetts already has some marijuana-friendly laws. Medical marijuana became legal in 2012, and a 2008 ballot measure replaced criminal penalties with civil penalties on adults who possess an ounce or less.

Question 4, as the recreational use measure is called, would legalize it and allow the commonwealth to tax and regulate its use and sale, much like the way alcohol is handled. That means people 21 and older could use it, possess it or grow it. They can have under 10 ounces in their home and under 1 ounce in public and be allowed to grow six plants.

A number of politicians there support it, as does the American Civil Liberties Union.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, opposes legalization, as does Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a Democrat. Baker argued that passage would exacerbate the state's opioid epidemic.

Roman Catholic bishops in Massachusetts also argued against legalization, saying it is "not a path civil society should chose to take."

The Boston Globe wrote in support of the ballot measure, arguing, "legal marijuana is coming. Let's get on with it."

In Maine, a "yes" on Question 1 would make it legal for a person 21 or older to use marijuana.

The state would put a 10% sales tax on the drug and allow social clubs and retail groups to sell it.

Maine legalized medical use of marijuana in 1999. Previous attempts to legalize it for recreational purposes have been unsuccessful.

The law would allow people to use it in a nonpublic space or in a private residence and institute a sales tax, with 98% of revenue from sales taxes going to a general fund.

Maine's governor is against the legislation, calling it "not just bad for Maine, it can be deadly." Supporters have raised more than $3.2 million to fight for it. The state's newspapers are divided on the issue.

The battle for legalization in Arizona seems close, according to polls.

Medical marijuana has been legal in the state since 1996.

If voters pass Proposition 205, it would be similar to other state laws up for consideration. People 21 or older could possess up to 1 ounce and grow up to six plants in their homes.

The law would also create a Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control that would regulate, test and oversee sales.

People caught smoking it in public places would be fined, as would people who possessed more than the legal limit.

A 15% sales tax would be deposited in a Marijuana Fund and distributed to the Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control and to the Department of Revenue. School districts and the state health department would also get a part of the money.

In Nevada, a "yes" on Question 2 would make recreational use of 1 ounce or less legal or one-eighth of an ounce or less of concentrated marijuana legal for people age 21 and older.

Medical marijuana was legalized in Nevada in 2000.

The law would allow stores, manufacturers and distributors to set up shop in the state.

People could also grow six plants for personal use as long as it was in an enclosed area with a lock. The law would create fines for growing marijuana within public view. You could also get fined for smoking it in a public place or in a moving vehicle.

No marijuana businesses would be allowed to set up shop within 1,000 feet of a school and 500 feet of a community facility.

Nevada would put a 15% excise tax on it. The money would go to support schools and the regulation of the drug.

A number of legislators and unions have voiced support for the measure. Conservative megadonor and casino owner Sheldon Adelson is against it. A number of legislators have voiced support for legalization, suggesting that it could bring additional tourist revenue to the state.

It's the biggest moon since 1948

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bigger in fact, than it has appeared at any point in the last 68 years, NASA scientists say.

We won't see another supermoon likes this until 2034, so make sure you get a look.

A "supermoon" occurs when the moon becomes full on the same day as its perigee, the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.

The term is borrowed from the pseudoscience of astrology but has been adopted by popular culture and astronomers. Supermoons generally appear to be 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons.

While such moons occur around every 13 months, November's is a special one.

According to NASA, this month's supermoon "becomes full within about two hours of perigee -- arguably making it an extra-super moon."

In America, the November full moon is known as a "Beaver Moon," because it arrives at the time of year when fur trappers would hunt the dam-building animals.

When and where to see?

According to EarthSky.org, the moon will turn precisely full on November 14 at 1:52 p.m. UTC, or 8:52 a.m. ET.

But people on the East Coast in North America and in Europe can see the supermoon anytime the moon is out in the next day or two.

Moon spotters in Asia are perhaps the best placed to catch the moon at its absolute largest, with full moon occurring at 9:52 p.m. Hong Kong time, or 7:22 p.m. in India.

Moon overshadows meteor shower

A month after the mega-supermoon, another supermoon will rise on December 14.

It too will be a sight to behold, but it'll also limit our opportunity to see something just as beautiful -- a Geminid meteor shower.

The Geminid meteor shower, an annual event, got its name because the meteors look like they're coming from the constellation of Gemini.

But the supermoon's brighter light will drastically reduce the number of meteors you'll be able to see.

NASA says we'll be lucky if we see a dozen meteors in an hour at the shower's peak, when normally the shower lights up the night sky with more than 100 meteors per hour.

CNN's Doug Criss and Holly Yan contributed to this story.

The 50-year-old woman was stopped during a patrol and arrested on "outstanding matters." When asked if she had anything to declare, she presented the green canvas bag and told them a koala was inside.

"Not quite believing their ears the officers cautiously un-zipped the bag and found this gorgeous (koala)," Queensland Police Service statement said in a statement Monday.

They are looking into claims the woman found the protected animal the previous night.

The six-month-old koala, which weighed 1.5 kilos, has been given to Australia's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which said the koala was dehydrated but "doing well."

"He's been on fluids but is doing well and will shortly be going out to a carer," said RSPCA Queensland spokesman Michael Beatty in a statement.

Now that the koala is in RSPCA hands, he has a new name -- Alfred.

It may sound counterintuitive, but working less could actually result in higher productivity. Seriously.

Although many of us continue the tradition of working at least eight hours per day, with an hour's break in the middle -- if we're lucky -- a recent study found that productivity is actually highest when people spend fewer hours working, according toresearchers at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which examined working hours in several countries over a period of 22 years.

Fox News Poll: Clinton moves to 4-point edge over Trump

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With one day before Election Day, Hillary Clinton has a four percentage-point lead over Donald Trump, according to the final Fox News national pre-election poll of likely voters.

She's ahead by 48-44 percent, while Gary Johnson receives 3 percent and Jill Stein 2 percent.

In the two-way race, it's also Clinton over Trump by 48-44 percent.
Click here to read the poll results.
Clinton's advantage is within the poll's margin of error in both the two-way and four-way races.

The last Fox News Poll, released Friday, had Clinton ahead by two points in the four-way race and one point in the head-to-head matchup.

Clinton is now winning among women by 12 points (52-40 percent), blacks by 85 (89-4 percent), Hispanics by 33 (63-30 percent), and voters under 30 by 16 (51-35 percent).

That level of support is close to that of Barack Obama's winning coalition against Mitt Romney in 2012, when he won among women by 11 points (55-44 percent), blacks by 87 (93-6 percent), Hispanics by 44 (71-27 percent), and young voters by 23 (60-37 percent).

Trump is favored among men by 5 points (48-43 percent), whites by 17 (54-37 percent), white evangelical Christians by 63 (78-15 percent), and whites without a college degree by 31 (61-30 percent).

That nearly matches Romney's performance. He won men by 7 points (52-45 percent), whites by 20 (59-39 percent), white evangelicals by 57 (78-21 percent), and whites without a degree by 26 (62-36 percent).

Trump is ahead of Clinton among veterans by 56-38 percent. She leads with first-time voters, by 48-42 percent.

Nine percent of Republicans support Clinton. That's more than twice the number of Democrats backing Trump (four percent).

And while Clinton garners more support among Democrats (91 percent) than Trump does among Republicans (86 percent), she trails among independents. They go for Trump by 42-36 percent, and 14 percent back Johnson or Stein. Independents went for Romney by 50-45 percent.

"Republican partisans have mostly come home, but it looks to be too little, too late for Trump," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll along with Democratic counterpart Chris Anderson. "Unless his voters are really shy, it seems his upwards trend has stalled just short of the goal line."

Clinton's backers (61 percent) remain less likely than Trump's (68 percent) to "strongly" support their candidate.

Trump continues to best Clinton narrowly on being seen as honest and trustworthy (+4 points). At the same time, she significantly outperforms him on having the right temperament to serve as president (+23) and being qualified for the job (+18) -- plus, she has an advantage on personal favorability (+4).

"The over 1-in-10 voters who don't like either candidate tend to think Clinton has the temperament and qualifications to be president, but Trump doesn't," says Anderson. "And that looks to be the difference in the election."

The Fox News Poll is based on landline and cellphone interviews with 1,410 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from November 3-6, 2016. The survey includes results among 1,295 likely voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points for results among both registered voters and likely voters.

CUSHING, Okla. -- A magnitude 5.0 earthquake centered near one of the world's key oil hubs brought down building facades and shattered windows in a central Oklahoma city, rendering century-old buildings unsafe and raising concerns about key infrastructure.

Cushing Assistant City Manager Jeremy Frazier told a news conference late Sunday that a few minor injuries were reported. He said the damage appeared to be contained to downtown, where piles of debris sat at the base of some commercial buildings.

CBS Oklahoma City affiliate KWTV described the damage as extensive.

In downtown Cushing, there is everything from moderate to severe damage, the station said.

Oklahoma has had thousands of earthquakes in recent years, with nearly all traced to the underground injection of wastewater left over from oil and gas production. Sunday's quake was centered one mile west of Cushing and about 25 miles south of where a magnitude 4.3 quake forced a shutdown of several wells last week.

Fearing aftershocks, police cordoned off older parts of the city to keep gawkers away late Sunday. Frazier said an assisted living community had been evacuated after damage was reported. Part of the building collapsed, reports CBS Tulsa affiliate KOTV.

The Cushing Public School District canceled Monday classes.

Emergency managers said the town's hospital and hotels weren't damaged, KOTV says.

"Stay out of the area," said City Manager Steve Spears, who noted that while some damage was superficial, compromised foundations and other potential problems would be difficult to assess until daylight in the city of 7,900 about 50 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation reported Sunday night that no highway or bridge damage was found within a 15-mile radius of the earthquake's epicenter.

The quake struck at 7:44 p.m. Sunday and was felt as far away as Iowa, Illinois and Texas. The U.S. Geological Survey initially said Sunday's quake was of magnitude 5.3 but later lowered the reading to 5.0.

"I thought my whole trailer was going to tip over, it was shaking it so bad," said Cushing resident Cindy Roe, 50. "It was loud and all the lights went out and you could hear things falling on the ground.

"It was awful and I don't want to have another one."

Cushing's oil storage terminal is one of the world's largest. As of Oct. 28, tank farms in the countryside around Cushing held 58.5 million barrels of crude oil, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The community bills itself as the "Pipeline Crossroads of the World."

Frazier said two pipeline companies had reported no trouble as of late Sunday but that the community hadn't heard from all companies.

Megan Gustafson and Jonathan Gillespie were working at a Cushing McDonald's when the quake hit.

"It felt like a train was going right through the building, actually," Gustafson, 17, said Sunday night as she and her co-workers stood behind a police barricade downtown, looking for damage. "I kind of freaked out and was hyperventilating a bit."

Gillespie said the building shook for about 10 seconds, but that he wasn't as alarmed as Gustafson because he lives in an area that has experienced multiple earthquakes, especially in recent years.

"I didn't think it was anything new," he said.

According to USGS data, there have been 19 earthquakes in Oklahoma in the past week. When particularly strong quakes hit, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission directs well operators to cease wastewater injections or reduce volume.

A 5.8 earthquake - a record for Oklahoma - hit Pawnee on Sept. 3. Shortly afterward, geologists speculated on whether the temblor occurred on a previously unknown fault.

"I was at home doing some work in my office and, basically, you could feel the whole house sway some. It's beginning to become normal," Spears, the Cushing city manager, said Sunday night. "Nothing surprises you anyway."
