20 STUDENTS ARE BEING TREATED AND QUESTIONED RIGHT NOW AFTER BEING STABBED WITH A NEEDLE USED TO CHECK BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS.

SANDUSKY SENTENCING-2 SHOT PUSH, VIDBOX

JERRY SANDUSKY WILL SPEND AT LEAST THE NEXT 30 YEARS OF HIS LIFE BEHIND BARS.

MEANING THE FORMER FOOTBALL COACH WILL BE NEARLY 100 YEARS OLD WHEN HE'S ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE.

A JUDGE SENTENCED SANDUSKY TO 30 TO 60 YEARS IN PRISON FOR CHILD SEX ABUSE CHARGES THAT TAINTED PENN STATE UNIVERSITY.

BUT SANDUSKY'S LAWYER SAYS THE FIGHT ISN'T OVER.

SANDUSKY SENTENCING-PKG

JERRY SANDUSKY LEFT A COURTHOUSE TO BEGIN WHAT AMOUNTS TO A LIFE SENTENCE BEHIND BARS … THE FORMER PENN STATE FOOTBALL COACH ONCE HAILED AS A HERO ON THE GRIDIRON … NOW OFFICIALLY LABELED A VIOLENT SEX PREDATOR UNDER PENNSYLVANIA LAW.

BEFORE SENTENCING … SANDUSKY DELIVERED A RAMBLING, FIFTEEN-MINUTE STATEMENT - CHOKING WITH EMOTION AS HE TALKED ABOUT SMILING THROUGH HIS PAIN … AND DECLARING HIMSELF A VICTIM - REPEATING CLAIMS OF INNOCENCE HE MADE IN A RADIO STATEMENT ON THE EVE OF SENTENCING.

"They could treat me as a monster, but they can't take away my heart. In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged disgusting acts."

PROSECUTOR JOE MCGETTIGAN CALLED SANDUSKY'S STATEMENTS RIDICULOUS.

"His statement today was a masterpiece at denial, self-delusion and completely untethered from reality and without any acceptance of responsibility."

SANDUSKY'S DEFENSE TEAM SAYS IT'S GOING TO APPEAL THE CONVICTION.

"We believe had we had the time we would have had an opportunity to prove Jerry's innocence."

JUDGE JOHN CLEELAND CALLED THE CASE A STORY OF BETRAYAL … AND TOLD SANDUSKY, 'You abused the trust of those who trusted you."

THE FORMER COACH WAS CONVICTED ON 45 COUNTS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ON TEN YOUNG BOYS HE MET THROUGH THE SECOND MILE - HIS CHARITY FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED YOUTH.

THREE OF SANDUSKY'S VICTIMS CONFRONTED HIM IN COURT. ONE STARED DIRECTLY AT SANDUSKY AS HE SAID. "We both know exactly what happened. You should be ashamed of yourself."

ANOTHER SOBBED AS HE TOLD THE COURT OF HIS ABUSE AND HIS PAINFUL ROAD TO RECOVERY, SAYING "I've not by any means arrived … but I've certainly left."

ONE OF THE JURORS WHO DECIDED THIS CASE SAID "JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED" - BUT ALSO NOTED THIS IS FAR FROM OVER. IN FACT … THE PROSECUTOR SAYS THE INVESTIGATION IS CONTINUING - BUT REFUSED TO DISCUSS DETAILS.

Luckily, Rita was close enough indoors that she wasn't injured but a tree and electrical wires took the worse from the fire ball.

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

REFRESHING CHANGE TO OUR WEATHER

Did the title get your attention? I'm sure it did. Refreshing is synonymous with exhilarating, rejuvenating, reinvigorating, and reviving.

Pick the term you want to use. It's how we can explain the pattern change coming to our weather this week.

A cold front has been teasing us from the north for several days now. It's finally going to move far enough to our south tonight that a little touch of dry air will invade south Florida. That dry air will greatly decrease our rain chances, clear out the skies, and lower our humidity levels.

This means it won't feel so oppressive every afternoon! Oh, and as for the mornings - We will see lows dropping as far down as 68 over the next seven days.

Refreshing.

Here's what will happen. Wednesday morning will be partly cloudy, and there will be a patchy fog around daybreak. Lows will be around 73. The sunshine will zap all the fog, and we see highs get close to the 90 degree mark. With the lower humidity rolling in it will not feel as uncomfortable. We'll also be dry tomorrow afternoon.

Thursday through Saturday is when you'll really feel the change. Lows will be in the upper 60s, and it'll simply be a great start to the day. We'll see mostly sunny, dry weather. Just gorgeous!

HIV TESTING-OC

PEOPLE CAN NOW TAKE AN H-I-V TEST IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOME.

BUT SOME ARGUE THE 40 DOLLAR PRICETAG IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST - AND LIKELY WILL NOT BE AN EFFECT IN THE WAR ON AIDS.

HIV TESTING-PKG

FOR ABOUT 40 DOLLARS -- YOU CAN NOW WALK INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DRUG STORE AND BUY AN OVER-THE-COUNTER H-I-V TEST TO USE IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR HOME.

"A very exciting day for OraSure technologies."

DOUGLAS MICHELS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE ORA-QUICK IN-HOME H-I-V TEST. HE SAYS IT GOES A LONG WAY IN ELIMINATING BARRIERS TO TESTING FOR THE VIRUS THAT LEADS TO AIDS.

RESULTS FROM THE ORAL SWAB TEST ARE AVAILABLE WITHIN 20 MINUTES.

"This test is accessible, it's convenient, it's easy to use, and you can test confidentially."

OUTSIDE EXPERTS AGREE. EXPANDING ACCESS TO A RAPID H-I-V TEST CAN ONLY HELP THE ESTIMATED 240-THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THEY'RE H-I-V POSITIVE.

THE STICKING POINT IS THAT 40-DOLLAR PRICE TAG. SOME SAY IT'S TOO HIGH FOR THE POOR, WHO ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY AIDS.

"I don't think this is a game changer, I don't think it's realistic to think that this test - particularly priced at 40 dollars at the retail - is going to do a whole lot to contain this epidemic."

THE TEST LOOKS FOR H-I-V ANTIBODIES IN THE BODY. NOT THE VIRUS ITSELF. DOCTORS SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE A DOCTOR WITH ANY POSITIVE RESULTS FOR CONFIRMATION.

ALSO -- IT DOES NOT GIVE LICENSE TO HAVE RISKY SEX. AND IT WILL NOT HELP THE MORNING AFTER A NIGHT OF UNPROTECTED SEX.

"This test is going to be an accurate portrayal of your HIV infection status 6-8 weeks ago, not what happened last night."

BUT IT MIGHT GIVE THOSE WHO ARE RELUCTANT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR A WAY TO CHECK THEIR H-I-V STATUS AT HOME.

DR. FLETCHER REYNOLDS/ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON

RUNS:

2:17 It's the older athlete or the mature athlete- because their tissues aren't as strong and they've been doing it a lot longer - who tend to come in with complete rotator cuff tears.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

Throw in the likelihood of arthritis, on top of years of use and you have a situation that requires action. Repairs are often done arthroscopically- fixing the tear without cutting into the shoulder.

DR. FLETCHER REYNOLDS/ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON

RUNS:

9:33 Two or three poke holes are made in very specific spots in the shoulder so we can gain access. Special instruments are used to place sutures, place what we call suture anchors that go into the bone the help hold the sutures to the bone.

THAT BROUGHT CRAIG TO HALFTIME IN HIS RECOVERY. HE SPENT WEEKS IN THERAPY, STRENGTHENING SURROUNDING MUSCLES.

DR. FLETCHER REYNOLDS/ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON

RUNS:

06:40 The tendency for a lot of athletes is to go into the weight room and put on heavy heavy weights. And that only compounds the problem, so a lot of it is education on using light weights and isolating rotator cuff muscle groups and strengthening them to balance with the large muscle groups around the shoulder.

WITH NEW GROUND RULES, CRAIG IS BACK TO ENJOYING THE SPORT HE LOVES.

A HIGH SCHOOL IN ILLINOIS HAS SUSPENDED FOUR STUDENTS FOR EATING CAFFEINATED MINTS.

SCHOOL EMPLOYEES INITIALLY THOUGHT THE STUDENTS WERE TAKING ILLEGAL DRUGS.

BUT EVEN AFTER DISCOVERING THE PILLS WERE LEGAL, SCHOOL OFFICIALS STOOD BY THEIR DECISION.

ENERGY MINTS-PKG

IT ALL STARTED WHEN 17 YEAR OLD JAKE WALKER TOOK THESE.TO SCHOOL

i don't feel i should lose my education over a little mint.

THEY'RE CAFFEINE MINTS. PERFECTLY LEGAL. BUT TO SOME SCHOOL OFFICIALS IN PEKIN, ILLINOIS THEY LOOKED LIKE DRUGS.

JAKE AND 3 OF HIS FRIENDS WERE SUSPENDED FOR EATING THE MINTS DURING LUNCH.

this is 2012 and caffeine is just caffeine.i drink soda, jake drinks soda. i don't see anything wrong with the caffeine pills.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS ISSUED THIS STATEMENT

"PEKIN COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL APPROACHES CONSUMPTION OF MOOD-ALTERING SUBSTANCES VERY SERIOUSLY GIVEN BOTH THE HEALTH RISKS AT ISSUE AND A MISSION TO KEEP BOTH ILLEGAL AND LEGAL DRUGS AND SUBSTANCES OUT OF THE SCHOOL."

i see people bringing in energy drinks and coffee to school everyday.i thought it's healthier.why not try to get more energy

GFC:

HERE'S A CAFFEINE BREAKDOWN.

A 16 OZ CUP OF COFFEE AVERAGES 100 MGS OF CAFFEINE.

SOFT DRINKS CONTAIN ANYWHERE FROM 35 TO 55 MGS IN A 12 OZ SERVING.

ENERGY DRINKS.HAVE FROM 76 TO 207 MGS PER SERVING.

AND CAFFEINE MINTS. PACK ANYWHERE FROM 85 TO 101 MGS OF CAFFEINE PER MINT

sot-Dr. DAVID ZICH

if you want to get a lot of caffeine its hard to do with a cup of coffee or an energy drink, you'll get bloated and too full after 2-3 drinks and stop. With mints, it's very easy to overdose because you just keep on popping them.

BUT JAKE AND HIS FRIENDS MISSED HOMECOMING AS A RESULT OF THEIR 'PREDICA-MINT'. AND AREN'T VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT.

ENERGY MINTS-TFC

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TOLD A LOCAL PAPER THAT THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ANYTIME THEY SEE STUDENTS TAKING SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE DRUGS.

A FATHER OF ONE OF THE BOYS SAYS THE SUSPENSION IS UNJUSTIFIED.

THAT WRAPS UP THE FOUR.
