THE GENERAL IS STEPPING DOWN AFTER ADMITTING HE HAD AN AFFAIR.

PETRAEUS RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING HE SHOWED QUOTE EXTREMELY POOR JUDGEMENT" IN HAVING AN AFFAIR.

HE SENT A RESIGNATION LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT YESTERDAY. TODAY PRESIDENT OBAMA ACCEPTED THAT RESIGNATION.

"I'm committed to solving our fiscal challenges but I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."

"2013 should be the year we begin to resolve our debt through tax reform and entitlement reform."

A COMMITMENT FROM BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.

SOLVING THE NATION'S FINANCIAL CRISIS IS A TOP PRIORITY - BUT CAN POLITICIANS FIND COMPROMISE TO AVOID THE LOOMING FISCAL CLIFF?

IT'S A TOPIC INVESTORS SHARPLY WATCHED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

TODAY - A MIXED RESPONSE ON WALL STREET AFTER THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.

FISCAL CLIFF-SATLIVE

FISCAL CLIFF-PKG

IN A SPEECH AT THE WHITE HOUSE, PRESIDENT OBAMA CLAIMED THE ELECTION PROVED MOST AMERICANS AGREE WITH HIS PLAN.THAT HE CALLS BALANCED. CUTTING SPENDING AND HIKING TAXES. TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIFF. HE SAID HE'S FLEXIBLE.

HE'S CALLING IN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOR FISCAL CLIFF MEETINGS NEXT WEEK.

BUT THE MAIN REPUBLICAN NEGOTIATOR WILL BE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER.

Ohio

the problem with raising tax rates on the wealthiest americans is that more than half of them are small business owners. we know from ernst and young 700 thousand jobs would be destroyed. 35

BOEHNER INSISTS THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE GOVERNMENT WOULD GET MORE MONEY IF TAX RATES DROP.

Ohio

we know we are going to get more economic growth. it'll bring jobs back to america. it'll bring more revenue.

REPUBLICANS SAY THEY WON'T BUDGE ON TAXES

UNLESS DEMOCRATS AGREE TO CUT THE OUT-OF-CONTROL COST OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. RAISING THE MINIMUM AGES TO START.

IT'S THE SAME DEBATE PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD WITH MITT ROMNEY.

FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS, REPUBLICANS UP HERE HAVE BEEN SUPER UNIFIED. NOT ONE DEFECTING IN SOME OF THE BIGGEST FIGHTS. BUT NOW, BEFORE HIS SECOND TERM EVEN STARTS, PRESIDENT OBAMA IS VOWING TO GAIN ALLIES FROM THE GOP SIDE.

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.

"SUNNY AND MILD THIS AFTERNOON"

Northerly winds have brought in a very cool and dry airmass across Southwest Florida, and as a result we felt some of the coldest air of the season this morning. Temperatures plummeted into the upper 40s to 50° along the urban corridor with colder readings found deeper inland.

High pressure migrating east across the southern states will keep our weather sunny and bright today with comfortable humidity values. Despite plenty of sunshine this afternoon, daytime highs will be a bit milder compared to yesterday's high of 70° with temperatures rebounding into the middle 70s along with a nice northeasterly breeze.

Tonight wont be quite as cold as the airmass in place will start to modify. Skies will remain clear and lows here in town will drop into the mid 50s with a few upper 40s deeper inland.

By the weekend, our winds will start to take more of an easterly turn, which will usher in some low level moisture from the Atlantic. A few more clouds will be drifting across our skies with no mention of rain in the forecast.

CANCER SPHERES-ONCAM

A NEW MEDICAL PROCEDURE USING MICROSCOPIC CANCER-KILLING SPHERES IS HELPING SOME CANCER PATIENTS FIGHT THE DEADLY DISEASE.

AND THE PROCEDURE LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A SCI-FI MOVIE.

CANCER SPHERES-PKG

"Live everyday and I teach my classes and I change diapers"

TEACHING AT THE U, TAKING CARE OF HER INFANT SON AT HOME, LAUGHING AND LIVING - DESPITE HER VILLAIN.

"I figure why am I fighting so hard to live if I'm not going to live as much as I can while I'm here?"

PROFESSOR BREHL IS FIGHTING METASTATIC BREAST CANCER. SHE'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL SO FAR.

BUT NOW WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE LIVER TUMOR - DOCTORS AT THE HUNTSMAN CANCER INSTITUTE TRIED A DIFFERENT KIND OF ATTACK WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY.

THROUGH A SMALL INCISION IN HER GROIN, DR. RYAN O'HARA INSERTED MICROSCOPIC SPHERES, EACH ONLY 32 MICRONS IN SIZE. THAT'S ONLY SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN A RED BLOOD CELL.

THE SPHERES MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH A CATHETER SNAKED INTO HER LIVER AND DIRECTLY INTO THE ARTERY THAT FEEDS THE TUMOR.

INSIDE THESE SPHERES - SOME POWERFUL AMMUNITION!

"They're loaded with a radioisotope called yitrium 90, which is a beta emitter - beta radiation - and that's delivered directly to the tumor via the blood system."

THOUGH THE SPHERES DELIVER 40 TIMES MORE RADIATION THAN EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION - IT'S SHORT-TERM AND TARGETED ONLY TO THE TUMOR - AND THERE'S LITTLE OR NO COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING HEALTHY CELLS.

THOUGH THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN FOR METASTATIC BREAST CANCER IS ABOUT 28 MONTHS - PROFESSOR BREHL PUSHES THE ENVELOPE.

"I want to live to be here for my son who is not even two yet, so it's just this battle of staying optimistic and hopeful and doing every treatment."

EVERY TIME THE CANCER RE-SURFACES KNOCK IT DOWN - ALWAYS HOPING NEW AND BETTER TREATMENTS WORK MORE AND MORE, AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT!

IN THE END - THOUGH A CURE FOR CANCER AS A "UNIVERSAL" DISEASE REMAINS ELUSIVE - IT'S DEFINITION IS RAPIDLY CHANGING.

"We've taken what was once a death sentence and turned it into a chronic disease where people can live with their disease."

IN BREAST CANCER FUND RAISING EVENTS AND MORE - BEVERLY BREHL IS DOING JUST THAT. EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK, EVERY MONTH IS PRECIOUS.

6: 14 As many of you know, five years ago I beat breast cancer. Now sometimes treatment for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues and that's what I'm facing right now. It is something called MDS- Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

THAT'S WHEN SHE PUT A FACE TO MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME. MDS IS A COLLECTION OF BLOOD DISORDERS MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEAR OF.

DR. WILLIAM HARWIN/ONCOLOGIST

RUNS:

2:49 Myelodysplastic Syndrome is kind of under the radar because in some ways it's a malignancy but it's really a disorder of the bone marrow that causes a failure to produce the normal cells in the bone marrow. The older term is pre-leukemia because some, but not all, patients over time will evolve into an acute leukemia.

NOT QUITE A CANCER ITSELF, IT HAS SHARES MANY CHARACTERISTICS.

DR. WILLIAM HARWIN/ONCOLOGIST

RUNS:

3:45 An uncontrolled proliferation, which cells don't have the normal stops and normal controls and it's also at the same time a capacity to spread to the parts of the body where they normally don't belong.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

Question is, what causes the breakdown of blood production. Scientists determined the disease can stem from previous cancer treatment. That's what Robin Roberts believes happened to her.

DR. WILLIAM HARWIN/ONCOLOGIST

RUNS:

POLICE SAY SHE ALSO USED HER HUSBAND'S CARD KEY TO GET INTO THE PARKING

GARAGE OF HIS OFFICE SHORTLY AFTER THE ARREST.
