A SINGLE COLLEGE TEXTBOOK CAN 
COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND 
FOR SOME STUDENTS IT'S NOT 
AFFORDABLE BUT WHY DOES THE 
COST SO MUCH?  
>> COLLEGE STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE 
A LOT OF CHOICE.  IT'S TOUGH TO 
TAKE A CLASS WHEN YOU DON'T 
HAVE THE REQUIRED TEXTBOOK BUT 
THE BOOKS CAN COST 200 OR $300 
APIECE AND SOMETIMES MORE.  
>> WHEN I MAKE THE CHOICE TO 
BUY A TEXTBOOK, WHEN I GET IT 
UP TO MAKE SURE I HAVE ENOUGH 
MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT.  
>> A 2013 REPORT BY THE U.S. 
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY 
OFFICE SAYS TEXTBOOK PRICES 
INCREASED 82% OVER A TEN-YEAR 
PERIOD AND LET'S LOOK AT WHY.  
ONE ISSUE IS THAT THREE 
PUBLISHERS CONTROL 80% OF THE 
MARKET.  
>> WITHOUT COMPETITION YOU CAN 
EXPECT THERE TO BE DRAMATIC 
INCREASES IN COST.  
>> THE DIGITAL AGE MEANS MANY 
PROFESSORS ARE OFFERING 
MATERIALS ONLINE AND IN SOME 
CASES STUDENTS HAVE TO PURCHASE 
ACCESS CODES.  
THE CODES ARE SINGLE USE SO YOU 
CANNOT BUY THEM USED OR SHARE 
THEM.  
>> THE AVERAGE ACCESS CODE 
COSTS $100.  
THAT MONEY JUST GETS FLUSHED 
DOWN THE DRAIN.  
>> MANY PROFESSORS ARE OFFERING 
OPEN BOOKS, OPEN STACKS AND USE 
PRIVATE FUNDING TO PAY AUTHORS 
AND EDITORS AND MAKE THE BOOKS 
FREE TO STUDENTS.  
>> YOU MIGHT BE CHARGING 200 OR 
$300.

WAS RANKED NUMBER 2 IN THE

OLD IN THE BACKSEAT. 
>> HE TOLD HER HE WAS GOING TO 
CHOKE HER AND KILL HER, SHE 
DECIDED THAT WORTH OF ACTION 
WAS TO GRAB HER CHILD AND JUMP 
FROM THE MOVING CAR. 
>> Reporter: THE MOTHER 
SUFFERED ROAD RASH FROM JUMPING 
OUT OF THE MOVING CAR, BUT THE 
CARSEY PROTECTED THE CHILD FROM 
BEING HURT. 
DETECTIVES BELIEVE THIS WAS A 
PRIME OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THE 
WOMAN WAS ALONE, OUTSIDE OF HER

THE PARKING LOT.

OVERTURES ARE GETTING INTO THE

YOU CAN SEE OVER TOWARD THE

IT IS GETTING HOT OUT THERE. 
OVERTURES AT 87 DEGREES IN

WE WILL BE DRY TODAY. 
HOT AND HUMID, 93 DEGREES FOR

NIGHT TO DO SO.

>>> WITHOUT A SECOND STIMULUS 
PACKAGE, MANY AMERICANS ARE 
STILL STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY 
BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC. 
A MAJOR EXPENSE FOR MOST IS 
RENT. 
THE NEW MEASURE AND EASING THE 
PRESSURE OF PAYING THAT BILL. 
>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE 
SAID THE CDC WILL BAN MOST 
EVICTIONS THROUGH THE END OF 
THE YEAR. 
THIS IS A PART OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER. 
THE ORDER SAYS THE CDC WILL USE 
ITS POWER UNDER FEDERAL LAW TO 
PREVENT ANYONE WHO HAS THE 
LEGAL RIGHT TO EVICT A TENANT 
FROM DOING SO TO HELP PREVENT 
THE SPREAD OF A VIRUS. 
THIS EXTENDS TO PROPERTY OWNERS 
AS WELL AS TENANTS. 
TO BE COVERED, YOU HAVE TO MEET 
FOUR CRITERIA. 
FIRST, YOU MUST HAVE AN INCOME 
OF $120,000 OR LESS, OR $90,000 
FOR SINGLE FILERS. 
THEY HAVE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE 
TO MAKE RENTAL PAYMENTS, PROVE 
THEY ARE UNABLE TO PAY RENT 
BECAUSE OF COVID-19 HARDSHIPS 
AND CONFIRMED THEY ARE LIKELY 
TO BECOME HOMELESS IF EVICTED. 
AS OF NOW, RENT IS STILL DUE 
AFTER THE NEW YEAR. 
IN THE MEANTIME, THIS WILL HELP 
MILLIONS OF STRUGGLING 
AMERICANS PAY THEIR RENT. 
>>> TAKING A LOOK AT THE 
CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK HERE IN 
GEORGIA, THERE WERE SOME 
INTERESTING NOTES FROM 
YESTERDAY'S DEPARTMENT OF COVID-
19 NUMBERS. 
THE NUMBERS ARE UP COMPARED TO 
THE LAST TWO DAYS WITH MORE 
THAN 2200 NEW CASES REPORTED. 
THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT. 
THE CDC ALSO REPORTED NEARLY 
20,000 TEST RESULTS YESTERDAY. 
THAT IS 33% MORE TEST THAT WERE 
PERFORMED JUST IN THE PAST TWO 
DAYS. 
UNFORTUNATELY, WE ALSO SAW A 
SIGNIFICANT JUMP INCOME FOR 
RELATED DEATHS, 101. 
DR. KATHLEEN SUMI, THE HEAD OF

THIS FALL. CORONAVIRUS CASES 
AND HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DOWN 
NATIONWIDE SINCE THEIR PEAK IN 
JULY. 
OFFICIALS ARE HOPING TO PREVENT 
ANOTHER UPTICK, LIKE THE ONE 
SEEN AFTER MEMORIAL DAY WHEN 
SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES 
WERE IGNORED AT POOL PARTIES 
LIKE THIS ONE, AT THE LAKE OF 
THE OZARK. 
AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY, WHERE 
PEOPLE FLOCKED TO CROWDED 
BEACHES TO ESCAPE THE SUMMER 
HEAT, DANGEROUS NEW OUTBREAKS 
IN STATES LIKE IOWA ARE ALREADY 
RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEXT 
FEW MONTHS. 
THERE, THREE COUNTIES WITH THE 
HIGHEST NUMBER OF CORONAVIRUS

POPULATIONS. 
SOME ARE NOW CALLING FOR YOU 
ROUTINE RANDOM TESTING OF 
STUDENTS AND STAFF, INCLUDING 
NEW YORK PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHERE

A VACCINE CANDIDATE OR PLACEBO. 
SEVERAL MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY 
LOST THEIR LIVES TO THE VIRUS.

FUTURE FATALITIES?

DESERVES TO LOSE THEIR LIVES, 
ESPECIALLY DURING A VIRUS 
BECAUSE OF THAT.

GLIMMER OF HOPE AFTER SO MUCH 
HEARTBREAK AROUND THE WORLD.

RIGHT HERE IN ATLANTA. 
HE CONTRACTED TO TO IN EARLY 
MARCH, DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE 
OUTBREAK IN NEW YORK. 
HIS FATHER, JOHN, CREATED A 
MACHINE TO HELP HIM WITH HIS 
BREATHING. 
JOHN STARTED WORKING ON A 
SIMILAR DEVICE CALLED INHALED. 
IT WILL BE LESS INSIPID AND 
EASY TO USE. 
>> VENTILATORS WERE NOT 
AVAILABLE. 
HAVING SOMETHING TO DO THAT WE 
THOUGHT COULD HELP, REALLY WAS 
ALMOST THERAPY FOR ME. 
>> INHALE COSTS AROUND $300 FOR 
HOSPITALS. NEW YORK HOSPITALS 
AND 16 OTHER COUNTRIES ARE 
ALREADY USING IT.

>>> WE ARE LOOKING AT A FEW 
CLOUDS OVERHEAD. 
IF YOU ARE IN NEWNAN EARLIER 
THIS MORNING, OR YOU WATCHED US 
EARLIER THIS MORNING, WE SHOWED 
YOU THIS FOG. 
WE GOT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. IN 
THE AFTERNOON, A LIFE NICE 
LITTLE BREEZE. NOT BAD, NOT BAD 
AT ALL, AT LEAST FOR THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
BIRDS FLYING AROUND, EVERYBODY 
IS FINE. 
IT WILL HEAT UP LATER THIS 
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES IN 
THE 90s AND A LOT OF SPOTS. 
JUST A COUPLE OF CLOUDS. 
OVER TO THE WEST IS WHERE YOU 
WILL FIND FLOYD COUNTY. 
WE HAVE A FEW CLOUDS OVERHEAD, 
LITTLE RAIN COMING OUT OF THOSE 
CLOUDS. 
I DON'T THINK WE WILL SEE RAIN 
AT ALL. 
IF WE DO, IT IS LIKELY IN THE 
FAR NORTH. 
EVEN THAT WILL BE A SPRINKLE OR 
TWO. 
DRY AIR IN THE MID AND UPPER 
LEVELS HELPING US OUT THIS 
AFTERNOON AND WILL STAY THAT 
WAY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE IT HOT OR 
WANT TO HOLD ONTO SUMMER, YOU 
HAVE GOT YOUR WISH. 
WRITE YOUR WEATHER ON A SCALE 
FROM 1 TO 11, WE HAVE NOT SEEN 
A NINE ON THE ODOMETER IN A 
WHILE. 
WE WOULD LOVE TO GET UP TO AN 11
YEAR THAT WILL BE THE PERFECT 
DAY. 
TEMPERATURES THIS TIME OF YEAR 
SHOULD BE IN THE 80s. 
PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ON THE 
OUTSIDE, PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY 
LONG. WE HAD A VERY MUGGY START 
THIS MORNING. 
IT IS 50 OUT THERE THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
TALK ABOUT THE TROPICAL AIR MASK
THAT IS STILL THERE AND THE 
HEAT BEING PUMPED IN FROM THE 
SOUTH, THANKS TO A HIGH AREA OF 
HIGH PRESSURE. 
YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A 
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW COMING IN. 
THIS FRIEND TRYING TO MAKE IT 
IN, IT WILL NOT. 
IT WILL STALL AND STAY AND THEN 
WASH AWAY BEFORE GETTING IN. 
AS WE GET FURTHER INTO THE FALL
, THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE 
LOOKING FOR, COOLER AIR FROM 
THE NORTH TO COME RIGHT ON IN 
AND THE LEAVES WILL START TO 
CHANGE. 
NOT QUITE THERE YET. 
IN FACT, THE NEXT COUPLE OF 
DAYS WILL BE SUMMER. 
TROPICS ARE GETTING ACTIVE AS 
WELL. 
PEAK MONTH FOR HURRICANE SEASON
. SEPTEMBER, WE ARE THERE. 
PEAK DAY WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 
10th. 
WE ARE GETTING CLOSER AND 
CLOSER. 
WE HAVE TWO TROPICAL STORMS OUT 
THERE RIGHT NOW ONE HEADING 
TOWARD BELIZE AND ONE HEADING 
TOWARD THE SEA. 
YOU CAN SEE THE WANT TOWARD 
BELIZE, A 65 MILE PER HOUR WIND 
GETTING CLOSER TO BECOMING A 
HURRICANE. 
EARLIER IN THE FORECAST, IT 
STILL HAS TIME TO BE CLOSE 
ENOUGH TO THE LANDMASS THAT MAY 
JUST REMAIN A TROPICAL STORM 
BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL. 
MOVING TO THE WEST AT 70 MILES 
PER HOUR, OMAR, WHICH HAS 40 
MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS, WILL 
CONTINUE TO FADE AWAY AS IT 
MOVED TOWARDS THE EAST AND 
MOVING AWAY FROM THAT AT ABOUT 
30 MILES PER HOUR. 
A GOOD 1300 MILES TO THE 
NORTHWEST AND ISLAND OF BERMUDA 
RIGHT THERE. 
AS FAR AS OUR FORECAST GOES, 
PARTLY SUNNY SKIES FOR THE REST 
OF THE AFTERNOON. TONIGHT, EVEN 
THOSE CLOUDS WILL FADE AWAY. 
WE WILL START OFF WITH CLEAR 
SKIES THURSDAY MORNING AND HOLD 
ONTO THAT FOR THE REST OF THE 
AFTERNOON. 
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES PRETTY MUCH 
ALL DAY LONG AND HOT. 
TEMPERATURES UP TO 93 DEGREES 
FOR AN AFTERNOON HIGH. 
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND I THINK 
WE WILL HOLD ONTO IT THROUGH 
THE AFTERNOON. 
YOU HAVE THREE DAYS IN A ROW 
WHERE WE WILL HAVE NINE AROUND. 
THOSE OF YOU THAT LIKE THE 
SUMMERTIME WEATHER, MAYBE GET 
OUT TO THE POOL. 
THE CHANCE OF RAIN GOES UP A 
LITTLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 
A 20% CHANCE ON SATURDAY. 
THIS WILL BE MAINLY DURING THE 
AFTERNOON IF WE SEE ANYTHING AT 
ALL. 
A LOT OF US WILL REMAIN DRY 
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 
BY LABOR DAY, IF YOU HAVE GOT 
THE BARBECUE YOU WANT TO DO, 
GET YOUR COOKING IN EARLY. 
THOSE TEMPERATURES, BECAUSE OF 
THE INCREASED TRANSFORMER AND 
WILL START TO GO BACK DOWN AND 
INTO THE 80s NEXT WEEK. 
I THINK IT WILL BE COOLER FOR 
US NEXT WEEK, NOTHING LIKE THE 
LOW 90s WE ARE EXPERIENCING 
THIS WEEK. 
ENJOY, IT WILL NOT LAST FOR 
EVER.
