I'm Stephen Ruiz, online content editor for OrlandoSentinel.com. We're about to get a change in our weather this week, but one thing that won't change is, we'll always deliver some of our top stories for you. Have a great day. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

Good morning. It's Tuesday, Dec. 5. We begin with news of the Swiss airline Edelweiss Air and how its flights could boost the Central Florida economy once it begins service next month.

Elsewhere, former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, who used to represent parts of Orlando, learned how much time she will have to spend in jail for setting up a fraudulent charity.

And finally, we're interested in what you think are the best restaurants in Central Florida. You can vote for the Orlando Sentinel Foodie Awards here.
