"Sunshine returns with cooler temperatures"
After a cloudy day with a few showers, we have a pretty nice forecast headed our way over the next couple of days. Now that a cold front has passed through Southwest Florida much cooler and drier air will filter down the state with chilly nights and cooler afternoons.
In fact this morning, temperatures will start out 8 - 10° cooler with most locations in the lower 50s with middle and upper 40s across our northern and inland communities. As an area of cool and dry high pressure settles in from the northwest, more sunshine will return for Thursday. Northerly winds will usher in a chilly airmass, which will bring a nice change in our temperatures. Afternoon highs will top out from the middle 60s north to lower 70s south and our humidity values will be quite comfy as well.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow the mercury to drop even more as overnight temperatures plunge into the upper 40s along the urban corridor with colder readings east of I-75.
After a cold start on Friday, mostly sunny skies will hang on for Friday as daytime highs rebound into the middle and upper 70s. Over the weekend moisture will return ahead of our next storm system with a cold front approaching our part of the state during the afternoon hours. Scattered showers will break out across the area Saturday afternoon and will quickly fade away during the evening with another cool down in the works for the last Sunday before the New Year. We will welcome 2013 with mostly sunny skies and near average temperatures with lows in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s.

SCRIPT:
Some say yoga is the fastest growing sport in the nation, with an estimated
20 million people practicing regularly. But the latest trend among yogis is
that an ever-growing number of practitioners are.. pint-sized.
Genevieve O/C:
There are yoga classes for infants all the way up to teenagers. They even
have classes for toddlers like my daughter.
SOT: Liz Eustace, CEO Alignyo:
You're still going to see the foundation of yoga - so there's going to be an
awareness of movement, and anatomy and breath, tremendous creativity,
interplay between teacher and children.
Genevieve O/C:
I'm here with a group of 6-9 year-old yogis who are showing me a little
about what a kids' yoga class is like.
NATS:
One leg comes up, the other.
Teacher Lauren Chaitoff co-owner of Yogi Beans:
It's going to be little bit sillier, more playful/Kids are stressed, social
pressures and pressure in school.
SOT KIDS:
MOS LITTLE GIRL:
It clears you mind off something that's really bothering you.
MOS BROTHER AND SISTER:
After class is over it seems like I'm not so worried about my problems as
when I was in school.
Parents should look for a registered children's yoga instructor-a good
start is the Yoga Alliance website. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of
questions and be sure to develop a relationship with the teacher.
Experts - and parents - say the benefits extend well beyond the studio.

"Sunshine returns with cooler temperatures"
After a cloudy day with a few showers, we have a pretty nice forecast headed our way over the next couple of days. Now that a cold front has passed through Southwest Florida much cooler and drier air will filter down the state with chilly nights and cooler afternoons.
In fact this morning, temperatures will start out 8 - 10° cooler with most locations in the lower 50s with middle and upper 40s across our northern and inland communities. As an area of cool and dry high pressure settles in from the northwest, more sunshine will return for Thursday. Northerly winds will usher in a chilly airmass, which will bring a nice change in our temperatures. Afternoon highs will top out from the middle 60s north to lower 70s south and our humidity values will be quite comfy as well.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow the mercury to drop even more as overnight temperatures plunge into the upper 40s along the urban corridor with colder readings east of I-75.
After a cold start on Friday, mostly sunny skies will hang on for Friday as daytime highs rebound into the middle and upper 70s. Over the weekend moisture will return ahead of our next storm system with a cold front approaching our part of the state during the afternoon hours. Scattered showers will break out across the area Saturday afternoon and will quickly fade away during the evening with another cool down in the works for the last Sunday before the New Year. We will welcome 2013 with mostly sunny skies and near average temperatures with lows in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s.

AS PRESIDENT OBAMA LEAVES HIS TROPICAL RETREAT IN HAWAII- FOR A WINTRY WASHINGTON- TENSION ON CAPITOL HILL IS ON HIGH.
"I don't see how you could hammer out any kind of a grand bargain or large plan involving tax reform and entitlement changes in a matter of days."
SERIOUS DOUBT IS SETTING IN-
EVEN STARBUCKS IS GETTING INVOLVED- WRITING "COME TOGETHER" ON ITS CUPS
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER SAYS HE'S SITTING THIS ROUND OUT- AFTER FAILING TO GET ENOUGH HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO SUPPORT HIS OWN PLAN JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
Maryland
"I think that Boehner is being controlled, unfortunately - by the right wing."
THAT LEAVES IT UP TO MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID AND THE REST OF THE SENATE TO FIND A PASSABLE SOLUTION.
AIDES SAY REID'S PLAN WOULD AVOID TAX INCREASES FOR PEOPLE MAKING LESS THAN 250-THOUSAND DOLLARS, ELIMINATE SOME BIG SPENDING CUTS AND RESTORE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
"I think you are likely to see a 2 step process here. One sort of dealing sort of with the immediate dynamics so you can, in fact, set up a situation where you can deal with the larger situation."
WITHOUT A DEAL- BUSH ERA TAX CUTS WILL EXPIRE JANUARY FIRST AND DEEP SPENDING CUTS WILL SET IN.
CONGRESS SET UP THE DEADLINE HOPING IT WOULD FORCE A COMPROMISE- SO FAR THAT'S BACKFIRED.
