FIRST ALERT 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.

After a string of several cool days and chilly nights, temperatures will rebound this week as more warmth builds into Southwest Florida.

Temperatures are still starting off on the chilly side this morning with lows dropping back into the low 50s and upper 40s, but with full sunshine in place today, temperatures will be on track to warm into the upper 70s. The average high for this time of year is 80, so we'll be very close to achieving that.

Temperatures across Southwest Florida will climb to around 79 during the afternoon except close to the beaches where the cooler Gulf waters will hold highs in the mid 70s.

Overall, we're in store for a very pleasant Monday. Humidity will stay comfortably low, and our sky will stay predominantly sunny.

One of the keys in our forecast this week will be wind direction. Over the last few days, our winds have been flowing in from the north, but starting today, winds will have a more southerly component. This will help bring more warmth and moisture into Southwest Florida through the week. As a result, we'll notice humidity levels increasing starting Tuesday and more patchy clouds developing during the day.

Rain prospects will continue to stay rather low through the week, but forecast models are hinting at some Atlantic moisture getting carried over with the southeasterly winds later in the week. This may lead to some isolated afternoon showers starting Thursday, but don't get too excited about rain this week.

We're not really expected any significant cool fronts to move in this week, so temperatures will stay pretty flat, meaning we don't anticipate any big swings with our temperatures. Daytime highs will pretty much stay close to 80 and our lows close to 60.

Enjoy the warmer weather! Return to index of stories...

BLACK FRIDAY BRAWL-PKG


THIS SEA OF CHAOS WAS THE LAST THING LAWRENCE CORPUS THOUGHT HE'D SEE WHILE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING WITH HIS FAMILY AT THE ROSEVILLE GALLERIA.

"It could have easily become a riot, I think."

BUT WHEN FISTS STARTED FLYING, CORPUS PULLED OUT HIS IPHONE AND BEGAN RECORDING.

"I know a guy took the top of a trash can and actually threw it at him"

THAT'S WHAT WITNESSES SAY HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THIS VIOLENT BEAT-DOWN. THE LID ALMOST HIT SOME SHOPPERS.

"It was like a flying saucer -- just flew by."

THE NEXT THING THEY KNEW, TWO WOMEN STARTED GETTING INTO IT, AND THEN IT TURNED INTO AN ALL-OUT BRAWL: TWO MEN VERSES ONE.

SHOPPERS NEARBY STARTED TO SCATTER.

"Two guys started punching each other, then they ran over the barrier -- the jump thing, and the guy started getting his face stomped in. It was pretty crazy."

"Definitely can't imagine going through what the man in the black hoodie was going through."

MEANWHILE, LAWRENCE'S VIDEO OF THE FIGHT HAS ALREADY BEEN VIEWED WELL OVER 15,000 TIMES ON YOUTUBE.

"You could feel the intensity of the fight as it happened, so it was something I felt like I had to document."

.AND HE SAYS THAT INTENSITY LASTED AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE SECURITY STEPPED IN, POSSIBLY JUST BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT.

"Could happen anywhere, but I definitely think that security should have been beefed up a little bit more during a busy time like that." Return to index of stories...

"She had been in and out of the house a lot, but we thought she was going back and forth to the hospital."

LONG TIME NEIGHBOR CARL GORMAN THOUGHT THE SAME THING.

"In what he. in the shape he was in, if you don't see him for awhile, you kinda of feel well he is not able."

SENT TO THE E-R DUE TO INJURIES IN THESE AIR-FILLED PLAYHOUSES.

MOST OF THE INJURIES CAME FROM CHILDREN FALLING DOWN OR RUNNING INTO EACH

OTHER. RESULTING MOST-OFTEN IN BROKEN BONES AND SPRAINS TO THE ARMS AND

LEGS

BUT THERE ARE OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN

==SOT Dr. Besser==

They did see that 7 percent of the children had concussions, and we really

worry about head injuries, in particular in young children.

THE STUDY - JUST OUT THIS MORNING - SUGGESTS BETTER DESIGN MAY PREVENT

INJURIES AND SAYS THERE SHOULD BE BETTER GUIDELINES FOR USING THEM SAFELY.

ATHENA JONES REPORTS. Return to index of stories...


FISCAL CLIFF-PKG


MEMBERS OF CONGRESS EXPRESSED OPTIMISM SUNDAY ABOUT THE PROSPECTS FOR REACHING A DEAL TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIFF-

A SERIES OF TAX INCREASES AND SPENDING CUTS NEXT YEAR THAT COULD DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ECONOMY.

THEY ALSO SOUNDED WARNINGS.

We can and must get an agreement. Otherwise, I think first of all, the markets are going to start reacting.

It's not a done deal. It's not a certainty. If Congress does nothing, which Congress has gotten pretty good at doing these days, we'll go over the fiscal cliff.

STAFFERS HAVE BEEN WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO FIND COMMON GROUND TO PREVENT ACROSS THE BOARD CUTS LAWMAKERS SAY SHOULD CONCERN EVERYONE.

I think you should be worried if you've got a defense job but we all ought to be worried whether we're dependent upon other aspects of the federal budget. Whether we're worried about the regulation of our food safety. Whether we're worried about our borders being secure. Whether we're worried about FBI being supported.

A KEY STICKING POINT IS WHAT TO DO ABOUT TAXES

DEMOCRATS AND THE PRESIDENT WANT TO RAISE TAX RATES FOR THE WEALTHY.

REPUBLICANS DON'T -- THOUGH MORE ARE NOW BREAKING WITH ANTI-TAX CRUSADER GROVER NORQUIST, WHO HAD GOTTEN A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS TO PLEDGE NOT TO SUPPORT ANY EFFORT TO RAISE TAXES.

I'm willing to generate revenue. It's fair to ask my party to put revenue on the table, we're below historic averages, I will not raise tax rates to do it, I will cap deductions. I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform.

IT'S NOT YET CLEAR WHEN LAWMAKERS AND THE PRESIDENT WILL MEET NEXT.

AND A FINAL DEAL COULD STILL BE A LONG WAY OFF.

We rarely see the Hill and the White House make decisions early. So I would be pleasantly surprised to see a deal come earlier than the end of the year but we'll see.

THIS WEEK JUST MIGHT BRING THE PARTIES ONE STEP CLOSER. Return to index of stories...

ABOUT THE JOBS THEY CAN EXPECT WHEN THEY GRADUATE.

COLLEGES FAIL-PKG


SOBEK: In my opinion, it's a wretched fraud.

JASON SOBEK IS TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE LARGEST FOR-PROFIT COLLEGE

CORPORATIONS IN THE COUNTRY.EDMC THE EDUCATION MANAGEMENT CORPORATION.

WHICH RUNS MORE THAN 100 COLLEGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

BUT THIS FORMER ADMISSIONS SUPERVISOR is suing alleging the company

FALSELY INFLATES SUCCESS STORIES AND INTENTIONALLY DECEIVES FUTURE STUDENTS

AND.

HE gave ABC NEWS AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT INTERNAL COMPANY DOCUMENTSWHICH HE

SAYS SHOW JUST THAT.

SOBEK: They manipulated the job placement rates by counting students working

in a job that they did not need the degree for.

GREENBLATT: you think this is all intentional?

SOBEK: It is intentional. It's the business model.

CASE IN POINT - SINGLE MOTHER SARAH FISHER, IN INDIANA -

15;12;01: SARAH I feel like I've been lied to and I am angry about it

FISHER SAYS SHE GOT SUCKED IN BY A RECRUITER FOR BROWN MACKIE, ONE OF edmc's

schools.

SARAH: They told me I'd be making $35,000 to $40,000 a year.

BUT TODAY SHE'S SUPPORTING HER FAMILY WITH A RETAIL JOB, MAKING JUST 16,000

A YEAR. A JOB SHE ALREADY HAD BEFORE GRADUATING.

Fischer:: I work at Wal-Mart. In customer service

YET WE FOUND EDMC STILL CLAIMING THAT AS A SUCCESS- AND ONE "RELATED" TO HER

NEW BROWN MACKIE BUSINESS DEGREE.

Fischer: /they're lying/ I placed myself in that job not brown Mackie.

AND HERE'S MORE. SOBEK says his documents show the company claiming

success for THIS FASHION MARKETING GRAD. THIS ACCOUNTING MAJOR AND

THIS BUSINESS GRAD but he says edmc's own documents show this ONE

IS actually WORKING FOR MINIMUM WAGE SELLING SHOES - ONE WORKS AT MCDONALDS

, THE OTHER, A JANITOR.

EDMC DECLINED AN INTERVIEW WITH ABC NEWS BUT WROTE US TO SAY "we

believe that the claims raised are wholly without merit."

--saying he was not employed in career services

And that they have a high code of ethics.

BUT after reviewing sobek's sobeks document SENATOR DICK DURBIN SAID THIS:

SENATOR DURBIN: its just plain fraud and your whistle blower has brought it

to light. These students get sucked in by these adssign up for debt, sign

up for courses that lead to nowhere.

SOBEK FILED A WHISTLEBLOWER SUIT. AND, SARAH FISHER JUST FEELS DUPED.

Fisher: 15;15;37: About $24,000 in the hole for a degree I can't use Return to index of stories...

WEATHER-WX WALL


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.

After a string of several cool days and chilly nights, temperatures will rebound this week as more warmth builds into Southwest Florida.

Temperatures are still starting off on the chilly side this morning with lows dropping back into the low 50s and upper 40s, but with full sunshine in place today, temperatures will be on track to warm into the upper 70s. The average high for this time of year is 80, so we'll be very close to achieving that.

Temperatures across Southwest Florida will climb to around 79 during the afternoon except close to the beaches where the cooler Gulf waters will hold highs in the mid 70s.

Overall, we're in store for a very pleasant Monday. Humidity will stay comfortably low, and our sky will stay predominantly sunny.

One of the keys in our forecast this week will be wind direction. Over the last few days, our winds have been flowing in from the north, but starting today, winds will have a more southerly component. This will help bring more warmth and moisture into Southwest Florida through the week. As a result, we'll notice humidity levels increasing starting Tuesday and more patchy clouds developing during the day.

Rain prospects will continue to stay rather low through the week, but forecast models are hinting at some Atlantic moisture getting carried over with the southeasterly winds later in the week. This may lead to some isolated afternoon showers starting Thursday, but don't get too excited about rain this week.

We're not really expected any significant cool fronts to move in this week, so temperatures will stay pretty flat, meaning we don't anticipate any big swings with our temperatures. Daytime highs will pretty much stay close to 80 and our lows close to 60.

Enjoy the warmer weather! Return to index of stories...
