IT'S THE CLOSEST WE'VE SEEN TO 'TALKS' IN DAYS:

PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER. CHATTING FOR ABOUT A MINUTE ON CAPITOL HILL.

TOMORROW THE PRESIDENT'S INVITED CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS TO AN 11TH HOUR MEETING AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

"That could be a vehicle to undo the sequester, or at least to change it up a little bit."

LAST NIGHT, THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T SOUND OPTIMISTIC:

"We're getting to the point where we've exhausted every possibility."

TODAY THE SENATE VOTES ON TWO ALTERNATIVES: REPUBLICANS WANT THE PRESIDENT TO DECIDE WHICH PROGRAMS GET CUT:

Pennsylvania

"A little common sense and consolidation there would allow us to avoid the more difficult and painful cuts."

DEMOCRATS ARE PUSHING A 30 PERCENT TAX ON MILLIONAIRES. NEITHER IS EXPECTED TO PASS - SO THE PUBLIC'S BRACING TO LOSE THAT $85 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING:

"Go ahead and give it to us. We're big people. This is a big country. We can take it."

WE'RE ALREADY SEEING CHANGES:

HOMELAND SECURITY RELEASED 300 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. DETAINING EACH ONE COSTS 164 DOLLARS A DAY.

BOEHNER'S WARNED LAWMAKERS TO STOP USING MILITARY PLANES.

AND THE ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS TEACHERS ARE ALREADY GETTING PINK SLIPS:

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.

After a cloudy and showery Wednesday, all signs point to a bit more sunshine for Thursday afternoon while we start to shave a few degrees off our afternoon highs each and every day.

Mostly cloudy skies will give way to a bit more sunshine through the afternoon as that stalled frontal boundary gets a push to the south taking the clouds and moisture with it. A northwesterly breeze around 5-15 mph will also dry our atmosphere out just a bit keeping our humidity levels rather pleasant.

Tonight, partly cloudy skies will remain overhead and overnight temperatures will settle into the lower half of the 50s along the urban corridor with upper 40s mainly east of I-75.

As moisture begins to increase across Southwest Florida on Friday expect our skies to stay mostly cloudy. This will be the start of an unsettled weather pattern featuring more clouds and the threat for some wet weather as a strong disturbance dives southward toward the Gulf of Mexico.

After lows in the 40s to start on Saturday daytime highs will be rather cool in the middle 60s. Showers will begin to develop during the afternoon and carry over into Sunday. This will make for a chilly and blustery end to the weekend with afternoon temperatures in the low to middle 60s.

INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUSPECTS WENT SO FAR AS TO TRY AND COVER UP THE CHILD'S INJURIES WITH MAKE-UP.

CHILD ABUSE MAKEUP-PKG

"Very excited. very ready."

TWO WEEKS SHY OF BECOMING A MOTHER HERSELF. CHRISTINA BARNES IS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED BY THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HER NEIGHBORS.

"I think the parents should be punished severely."

BARNES IS REFERRING TO THESE TWO PEOPLE. BLAKE JOHNSON AND RICHELLE OVERTON.

ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS OBTAINED BY NEWSCHANNEL 8. THE COUPLE ABUSED JOHNSON'S TWO-AND-A-HALF YEAR OLD SON OVER THE COURSE OF MONTHS. BY *YANKING AND *DROPPING HIM AMONG OTHER THINGS.

"I don't think they should be out of jail so they can do this to any other child."

THE ALLEGED ABUSE WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.

COURT PAPERS GO ON TO SAY THE COUPLE WOULD *MONITOR EACH OTHER TO MAKE SURE THEY NEVER WENT TOO FAR.

AND GET THIS. JOHNSON AND OVERTON ARE even ACCUSED OF TRYING TO HIDE THE TODDLER'S INJURIES BY *APPLYING CONCEALER.

"Very sad that those things go on and people don't know about lots of things that go on."

"The allegations in this case are incredibly horrific really."

SERGEANT PETE SIMPSON SAYS WHAT MAKES THESE SORT OF CASES SO DIFFICULT. IS THAT THE LITTLE VICTIMS ARE SO INNOCENT.

"You hear about these cases and it breaks your heart to know these children have suffered awful things at the hands of people who should love them."

SADLY. IT APPEARS LOVE WAS THE LAST THING ON THE MINDS OF THIS COUPLE. JAILED TONIGHT AND ACCUSED OF A HANDFUL OF FELONIES AGAINST A LITTLE BOY.

"Children don't have voices when they're that little."
