FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

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.

We're on track to see another mostly sunny, warm day across Southwest Florida with pretty slim rain chances once again.

We'll start the day with a few patchy clouds, but sunshine will prevail as we go through the morning and afternoon. Our temperatures will still run a few degrees above average with highs aimed at the low 80s inland and upper 70s along the coast.

A warm breeze out of the east will keep winds up to 5-15 mph during the day, but winds won't be quite as gust as in previous days.

There's very limited moisture around Southwest Florida today, but we may see just enough to support a one or two stray showers. Aside from a couple lonely sprinkles, though, we'll stay mostly dry today.

Our rain chances are now looking slightly more promising by midweek as a result of a disturbance that's appearing a little bit stronger. This system should swing across Southwest Florida late Wednesday into Thursday morning, and as it does so, we may see some widely scattered showers Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. Don't get too excited about our rain prospects, however, as these showers should stay pretty isolated and "hit or miss."

The main side effect we'll notice from this system will be an increase in cloud cover from Wednesday afternoon through the first part of Thursday.

Once the disturbance exits Thursday afternoon, we'll get back to seeing mostly sunny and dry weather with daytime highs close to 80 and overnight temperatures dipping down to 60.

The upcoming weekend is looking very nice with partly cloudy skies and warmer than normal temperatures. We've seen some indications Saturday and Sunday might offer up a few more showers, so we'll continue monitoring this possibility over the next couple days.

CARBON MONOXIDE LAWS-2 SHOT VO

THANKS JIM.

TODAY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AT ONE ATLANTA SCHOOL RECOVER FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

TURNS OUT THE SCHOOL DIDN'T HAVE ANY CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS.

HOWEVER - WE *DO HAVE LAWS HERE IN FLORIDA.

**nats ambulance at atlanta school**

THE SCENE.FRIGHTENING FOR ANY PARENT. YOUNG CHILDREN PULLED FROM SCHOOL MONDAY ON STRETCHERS.OVERCOME BY CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES.

SOT: "I don't know what happened, but I guess my brother's head was hurting and his stomach was hurting and they had to take him to the hospital."

SOT: "Some kids, they felt scared. I felt scared too."

43-STUDENTS AND 6 ADULTS AT FINCH ELEMENTARY IN ATLANTA.RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL.

SOT: "I just want to know if my daughter is okay."

SCHOOL OFFICIALS THINK A FAULTY FURNACE CAUSED THE LEAK.SENDING DANGEROUSLY HIGH LEVELS OF THE GAS INTO CLASSROOMS. AND WITH NO C-O DETECTORS IN SCHOOL.NO ONE KNEW UNTIL IT BECAME AN EMERGENCY.

SOT:

As we made entry and started evacuating the school we found that we had extremely, extremely high readings of carbon monoxide.

AND IT'S HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. JUST LAST MONTH IN PHILADELPHIA.50 STUDENTS WERE SENT TO THE E-R WHEN A BACKUP GENERATOR AT SCHOOL MALFUNCTIONED.SENDING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE AIR.

IN BALTIMORE LAST YEAR.2 CASES AT TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN ONE WEEK.

52 PEOPLE SENT TO HOSPITALS.

AND DOCTORS SAY CHILDREN CAN BE HURT EVEN AT LOWER LEVELS.BREATHINNG THIS COLORLESS, ODORLESS GAS.DAY AFTER DAY.

SOT DR. PHILIP LANDRIGAN:

lower level exposure, exposure that's too low to produce acute symptoms, can still cause problems, and those problems are learning disabilities in children and possibly cardiovascular problems

PROBLEM IS, YOUR CHILDREN MAY BE AT RISK RIGHT NOW. IN MANY STATES, HOMES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. BUT, ONLY TWO STATES.MARYLAND AND CONNECTICUT MANDATE THEM IN *SCHOOLS*. WHICH MEANS.IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY.SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE THOSE LIFE-SAVING ALARMS.

SOT JEFFREY BERGER/ CT State Legislator:

It's common sense legislation that protects our children.

STATE LEGISLATOR JEFFREY BERGER WROTE THE LAW IN CONNECTICUT.

SOT JEFFREY BERGER:

JEFF: Some school districts may say look its too expensive and it's not worth the price of installing all these detectors?

BERGER: That's just crazy to say that it's too expensive./The costs are not that expensive. We look at it at $5,000 a district, the device itself is $50 or less.

Jeff: What do you want to say to the other 48 states that don't require these detectors?

Berger: Make it happen and make it happen now. They should make that happen, it's so important to protect the lives of students and administrators.

SOMETIMES IT TAKES A SCARE TO CHANGE. IN ATLANTA, HOURS AFTER THIS EMERGENCY, THE SUPERINTENDENT ANNOUNCED, THEY'RE NOW CONSIDERING DETECTORS IN CLASSROOMS.

KATE AS MOM-PKG

SCRIPT:

FOR YEARS, SHE'S DAZZLED US WITH THAT GORGEOUS HAIR.

IT'S SOMETHING SHE FIRST TALKED ABOUT ON THE DAY HER ENGAGEMENT TO PRINCE

interviewer: family's very important to you.

13:42:48 Miss Middleton: Yes. It's very important to me. And I hope we will

be able to

have a happy family ourselves.

KATE, SAY ROYAL WATCHERS, IS EXPECTED TO BE A TERRIFIC MOM.

CONSIDER THE EVIDENCE:

SHE IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A VERY FAMILY-ORIENTED YOUNG WOMAN.

13:16:27, Kate comes from a very tight knit family, /, so she's really

going to want to emulate the kind of childhood that she had/ her mother

worked from home, pcked her up from school, was very present in her life.

FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT SHE'S READY FOR THIS ROLE IS THE DOMESTIC SIDE WHICH

HAS RECENTLY SHONE ON TRIPS TO THE GROCERY STORE AND IN THE PRESENCE OF A

NEW ROYAL PUPPY.

Just one of the ways William and Kate aren't that different from your

average couple is the fact that they got a puppy. /when you're thinking

about having children /, you start out with something a little bit more

manageable.

AND, ROYAL WATCHERS SAY, KATE LOVES CHILDREN. SHE SHOWED THAT ON HER WEDDING

DAY - ENJOYING HER YOUNG ATTENDANTS AND, IN MORE RECENT MONTHS, HAPPILY

SPENDING TIME WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN DURING ROYAL ENGAGEMENTS.

BIANNA GOLODRYGA REPORTING.

LARGE-SCALE CHEATING AT SOME OF AMERICA'S TOP SCHOOLS.

THE QUESTION TODAY - HOW FAR WILL STUDENTS GO TO MAKE THE GRADE?

TECHNOLOGY IS A BIG MOTIVATOR.

INSIDER REPORT CHEATING-PKG

THE INTERNET….CELL PHONES….ELABORATE ELECTRONICS…

THESE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS CHEATING HAS GONE HIGH TECH.

Voiceover with shots of a blue tooth-based cheating system

"It is the safest and most undetectable form of invisible communication available"

DESPERATE TO PUT A STOP TO THESE MODERN DAY SCHEMES, SCHOOLS ARE ALSO TURNING TO TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT BACK.

1:36:17-27 Scott Schober: It's a cellphone detector but a teacher can simply tuck it away in their pocket, now they can walk around as they're

proctoring an exam and find the students that are cheating, and get close to them and catch them in the act.

BUT WHERE DO THESE STUDENTS LEARN THEIR CHEATING WAYS?

1:16:43-17:02 David Callahan: They get that idea from watching the news, seeing what's going on on Wall Street, seeing what's going on in

Major League Baseball and sports. In any sector of society where the adults are in charge, there seems to be a lot of cheating. So I think

that a lot of young people believe that that's the way the world works.

AND EVEN KIDS' DAY-TO-DAY ROLE MODELS ARE CAUGHT IN THE CHEATING GAME.

FROM TEACHERS CHANGING TEST RESULTS…

1:27:56-28:06 Alan Judd: They would call them cheating parties, or erasure parties. They apparently would get a pitcher of margaritas

and a stack of papers and fix them.

…TO PARENTS CONTACTING A GHOSTWRITER FOR "ASSISTANCE". AS DAVID TOMAR DISCOVERED, MOM AND DAD ARE

WILLING TO OPEN THEIR WALLETS TO HELP GET THE GRADE.

1:14:08-14:16 David Tomar: The parent is emailing me and saying, you know, my kid needs this, my kid needs that, and can you write this essay for my kid?

And here's my credit card.

HOLIDAY STRESS-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY.BUT WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE FIGHTING OVER CROCK POTS AND MP-3 PLAYERS?

"Most people freak out about three particular things during the holiday. Specifically time, money and other people."

WHEN IT COMES TO TIME, LIMIT YOURSELF TO THE FESTIVITIES, BOTH ON THE GIVING AND RECEIVING END. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH EGGNOG YOU CAN DRINK.

"I would say pick two or three things that you really, really want to do and then reserve the other times for yourself."

IF THE EXPENSE OF THE HOLIDAYS IS NIPPING AT YOUR WALLET, SET A BUDGET AND STICK TO IT. REMEMBER, SOME OF THE BEST CHRISTMAS MEMORIES DON'T COME FROM A STORE.

"Experiences are usually a lot better than things, especially during the holiday season."

FOR SOME, CREATING THE PERFECT HOLIDAY CAN BRING ON FRUSTRATIONS AND UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. DOCTORS SUGGEST DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR, IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO JUST BREATHE.

"I always say take one weekend where you plan to do nothing, but do things that you need to do for yourself."

SO WHEN SANTA CLAUS VISITS THIS YEAR, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SAY HO, HO, HO, INSTEAD OF A BAH HUMBUG.

PAIGE MURPHY IS ACTING AS THE STROKE VICTIM, BUT SHE'S KNOWS THAT STROKES CAN DEVASTATE AFTER WATCHING HER FATHER'S HEALTH DECLINE WHEN HE SUFFERED A STROKE.

"It was just so heartbreaking to see him not be able to do anything, hard for him to move, he couldn't eat, he couldn't move."

KIM ARROWOOD IS THE BYSTANDER WHO QUICKLY CALLS FOR HELP.

THE HOSPITAL SAYS GETTING TREATMENT WITHIN 3 HOURS. IS CRITICAL.

"It can happen at anytime, in any place to anybody and a lot of people are in denial about it thinking it will go away."

"The faster you get to a hospital, the faster they can get medication on board, hopefully that will break up a clot that's in your brain.

IN THIS DRILL … THE PATIENT STARTED FEELING NUMBNESS ON ONE SIDE. AND A HEAD ACHE, BUT DOCTORS SAY SYMPTOMS CAN VARY FROM SLURRED SPEECH TO VISION LOSS.

"This is the first time the hospital has put on the community-wide mock stroke. It's a change for them to educate the community… and refresh their staff on stroke protocol."

"If my dad could have gotten to the hospital and you know they could have had that medication 20 years ago, his last ten years of his life would have been different."
