ending the year and under budget, they could avoid closures altogether. now they will pay overtime costs, allowing them to reduce closures from three companies a day to only two a day. as for next year, fire officials are hoping the budget will prevent the need for rling closures in 2011. the investigation surrounding a body found yesterday has now become a homicide investigation. a woman's body was found on 29th street. yesterday afternoon, the body had been wrapped in plastic. today it has been ruled a homicide. hopefully, you do not have loved ones heading in from europe. details of the ongoing nightmare as in europe ahead, plus would you believe the record snow in new york? just how much are they dealing with, we will let you know. >> we have a bit of holiday snow

[ male announcer ] but now some in washington want regulations restricting access to career colleges and universities, denying opportunity to millions of people like karri, letting government decide who can go to college. it's my education, and my job, it should be my choice. [ male announcer ] don't let washington get in the way.

>> for the ravens, it feels like almost perfect status. 30-24. the game has everything. stressful moments, but it adds up to the biggest win of figure for the ravens. >> it feels like 10 degrees out here. ultimately, it was the ravens getting it done in the fourth quarter, finishing the game as well as they have. they got the job done. kind of a strange day. he got some moves as a 34-yard touchdown. he tied the game at 7. they rice, the breakout game
