THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION INITIALLY BLAMED IT ON PROTESTS OVER AN ANTI-MUSLIM

VIDEO.

THAT STORY LATER SHIFTED --- RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION

KNEW AND WHEN THEY KNEW IT WAS ACTUALLY A TERRORIST ATTACK.

INTELLIGENCE THEY WERE PROVIDING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OR THE CONGRESS. I

THINK THEY GAVE BEST INITIAL ASSESSMENTS."

LEADING UP TO AND DURING THE ATTACK.

SOT MANOJ BHARGAVA / CEO, 5-HOUR ENERGY: "If you had ten cups of coffee in

an hour I think you would end up in the hospital. / that would really be a

dumb thing to do."

MANOJ BHARGAVA SAYS THE 13 DEATHS AND 33 HOSPITALIZATIONS REPORTED TO THE

FDA AS LINKED TO HIS 5-HOUR ENERGY DRINK ARE BECAUSE THE PRODUCT WAS ABUSED.

NOT BECAUSE ITS DANGEROUS.

SOT MANOJ BHARGAVA / CEO, 5-HOUR ENERGY: "They have to say that they have to

investigate that is there job."

HOW MUCH CAFFEINE IS REALLY IN 5 HOUR ENERGY. A 2 OUNCE BOTTLE CONTAINS

207 MG. EQUIVALENT TO 2 8 OUNCE CUPS OF COFFEE, OR NEARLY 6 COKES. THAT'S

A LOT BUT NOWHERE NEAR THE AMOUNT CONSIDERED A LETHAL DOSE. ABOUT 5

THOUSAND MILLIGRAMS, THATS 50 CUPS OF COFFEE, OR 25 SHOTS OF 5-HOUR ENERGY.

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

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

"Increasing clouds, stray shower"

Over the last several days, afternoon temperatures have been one or two degrees above the 80° mark, and Friday will be no exception as we continue with near normal highs in the upper 70s to 80°.

Clear skies overnight and light winds will set the stage for areas of low clouds and patchy fog once again this morning especially for locations north of the Caloosahatchee River. Temperatures will start off in the lower to middle 60s and just like yesterday, expect the low clouds to hang around for an hour or two after sunrise before visibilities start to improve.

Sunshine will break out through the lunchtime hour before an increase in the cloud cover begins to take shape late in the day in association with a piece of energy diving down across the gulf states. Even with the increased cloud cover, daytime highs will still manage to climb into the upper 70s to low 80s with slightly cooler readings along the coast due to our afternoon seabreeze.

Tonight, clouds will remain in place with overnight lows settling into the lower to middle 60s with the possibility of a couple of stray showers.

This system will produce more clouds than rain across Southwest Florida as we will cap the rain chance at 20-30% across the area through Saturday. Temperatures during this timeframe will hover into the upper 70s to low 80s with lows in the 60s.

"We will sue filler for the wrinkles and the cool laser to take years off her hands."

THE FIRST STEP, INJECTING THE FILLER. EACH INJECTION CONTAINS JUVADERM AND A NUMBING MEDICINE.

NEXT… THE LASER.

"The laser works on the surface and below the skin to make the body do its own work."

"The laser actually stimulates the layers to make new collagen."

IT DOES THAT WITH VIRTUALLY NO DISCOMFORT

"No pain at all."

SINCE THE COLLAGEN STIMULATION HAPPENS OVER TIME, FINAL RESULTS WONT BE SEEN FOR A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS.

"Increasing clouds, stray shower"

Over the last several days, afternoon temperatures have been one or two degrees above the 80° mark, and Friday will be no exception as we continue with near normal highs in the upper 70s to 80°.

Clear skies overnight and light winds will set the stage for areas of low clouds and patchy fog once again this morning especially for locations north of the Caloosahatchee River. Temperatures will start off in the lower to middle 60s and just like yesterday, expect the low clouds to hang around for an hour or two after sunrise before visibilities start to improve.

Sunshine will break out through the lunchtime hour before an increase in the cloud cover begins to take shape late in the day in association with a piece of energy diving down across the gulf states. Even with the increased cloud cover, daytime highs will still manage to climb into the upper 70s to low 80s with slightly cooler readings along the coast due to our afternoon seabreeze.

Tonight, clouds will remain in place with overnight lows settling into the lower to middle 60s with the possibility of a couple of stray showers.

This system will produce more clouds than rain across Southwest Florida as we will cap the rain chance at 20-30% across the area through Saturday. Temperatures during this timeframe will hover into the upper 70s to low 80s with lows in the 60s.

RIGHT HERE ON ABC 7.

THIS WEEK-- IT'S CRIME- COPS AND A ZOO-

TO START-- JEFF LYTLE TALKS TO LEADERS WHO ARE MARKING THE END OF AN ERA -- AT THE NAPLES ZOO.

NAPLES DAILY NEWSMAKERS-REM-LIVE

Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk

Fort Myers Police Chief Douglas Baker

Executive Director David Tetzlaff and his mother Nancy "Safari Jane" Tetzlaff Berens

Talking points:

David Tetzlaff and Nancy "Safari Jane" Tetzlaff Berens:

End of a 44-year era at the Naples Zoo

Sheriff Kevin Rambosk:

Why do scofflaw deputies still have jobs?

Chief Douglas Baker:

How can cops quell street violence, killings?

Baker:

But here's the scary part. Look at other violent cases such as a robbery when a weapon is used. That's just by chance that that's not a homicide. Or look at an aggravated assault or an aggravated battery when a weapon is used. I mean, it's so close to the possibility of a homicide. Now with that in mind, so far this year, we have removed 280 firearms that were illegally possessed.

It's crime, cops and … a zoo this week on Naples Daily NewsMakers as Jeff Lytle interviews the top cops in Collier County and Fort Myers and the leaders who are marking the end of an era at the Naples Zoo.

Sheriff Kevin Rambosk explains how scofflaw deputies still have jobs; Fort Myers Police Chief Doug Baker tells what is being done about the record number of homicides; and David Tetzlaff and his mother, Nancy "Safari Jane" Tetzlaff Berens, who helped found the zoo, comment on the past, present and future of the local attraction.

Police Chief Baker says this year's total of 21 homicides is bad but could be worse:
