Hurricane Isaac is meandering slowly near and over the coastline of Louisiana this morning. Large amounts of rain, strong winds and storm surge will all be problems along the northern Gulf Coast due to Isaac. This system will be a slow mover making those effects last longer.

Our Weather Returning to "Normal"

Hurricane Isaac is meandering slowly near and over the coastline of Louisiana this morning. Large amounts of rain, strong winds and storm surge will all be problems along the northern Gulf Coast due to Isaac. This system will be a slow mover making those effects last longer.

For us here in Southwest Florida as Isaac has moved away from our area, our local weather has been improving. Winds will be coming in from the south-southwest today, pumping in plenty of heat and humidity. By tomorrow those winds will be turning more southeasterly, helping our weather pattern return to "normal". We'll have about 30-40% coverage of afternoon storms this afternoon and each afternoon continuing right on through your holiday weekend.

KIDS DON'T LIKE SCHOOL LUNCHES-OC

SCHOOL LUNCHES! YOUR KIDS PROBABLY LOVE EM OR HATE EM.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY THINK, NEW FEDERAL GUILDLINES ARE REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO SERVE MORE NUTRIOUS MEALS.

BUT IS IT WORKING.

KIDS DON'T LIKE SCHOOL LUNCHES-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOL LUNCHES -- EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION.

"Sometimes I eat it, but sometimes the food is just nasty."

AND AS NEW CHANGES ARE IMPLEMENTED IN SCHOOLS AROUND THE NATION STUDENTS ARE NOTICING. ZANE WOLTZ -- A SENIOR AT NORTHEAST MAGNET IS ONE THEM.

"Portions are a little smaller."

THAT'S TRUE--CALORIE COUNT IS DOWN--

BUT THE BIGGEST CHANGE SAYS WICHITA FOOD SERVICE DIRECTOR VICKI HOFFMAN--IS WHAT'S OFFERED.

"It does make that tray look a little bit different."

NEW FEDERAL STANDARDS THIS YEAR REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO SERVE MORE NUTRITIOUS MEALS. THAT MEANS MORE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES--AND FEWER CARBS--A SCHOOL LUNCH STAPLE THAT FILLS KIDS UP.

"You've got to eat more fruits and vegetables a variety of vegetables more whole grains low-fat dairy, limit the carbs limit the protein."

"The idea of what they're doing to help students understand proper portions and proper eating habits, I think that what good about it."

BUT FOR SOME--IT WILL TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO.

"It's just way different than last year; I could almost eat lunch every day. But this year, I don't eat it every day."

AND SOME STUDENTS SAY THEY'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH--AND YOU CAN SEE THAT BY THE LOOKING AT THE A LA CARTE LINE.

"That's the a la carte line."

HERE, STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE ITEMS OTHER THAN THE STANDARD SCHOOL LUNCH--HOFFMAN SAYS IT'S A GOOD OPTION FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED MORE CALORIES--LIKE ATHLETES-- AND WHILE THE CHANGES MAY NOT COME EASY.

FOR FOUR MINUTES AND 24 SECONDS, THE CURIOSITY ROVER, NASA'S MOST ADVANCED AND EXPENSIVE MARS MISSION EVER, WAS A RADIO STATION.

NEVER BEFORE HAS MUSIC BEEN BROADCAST FROM ANOTHER PLANET BACK TO EARTH.

"REACHING FOR THE STARS" BY WILL.I.AM -- THE FIRST SONG TO MAKE AN INTERPLANETARY DEBUT, MEANT TO INSPIRE STUDENTS TO TAKE A GREATER INTEREST IN THE SPACE PROGRAM.

"They said, 'We have a rocket going to Mars,' and I said, 'You ever thought about putting a song on the rocket so when it lands it comes back to earth? That's never happened before.'"

CURIOSITY CLEARED ITS THROAT A DAY EARLIER, SENDING A MESSAGE FROM NASA ADMINISTRATOR CHARLIE BOLDEN.

"This is an extraordinary achievement. Landing a rover on Mars is not easy. Others have tried, only America has fully succeeded."

"And with that, we have the first human voice from another planet."

WELL, SORT OF. THE MESSAGE WAS RECORDED ON EARTH AND SENT AS A DATA FILE ON BOARD CURIOSITY.

"With this we have another small step being taken extending the human presence beyond earth."

CURIOSITY CONTINUES TO SEND BACK STRIKING IMAGES FROM THE MARTIAN SURFACE - THE MOST RECENT IS THIS PANORAMA PICTURE OF MOUNT SHARP, WHICH SCIENTISTS BELIEVE COULD HOLD A HISTORY OF THE PLANET, POTENTIALLY SIGNS OF LIFE, COMPARING IT TO THE GRAND CANYON.

AND WHILE MOUNT SHARP IS JUST TEN KILOMETERS AWAY, IT COULD TAKE THE ROVER TWO YEARS TO GET THERE.

"It would take the rover, even if we were driving flat out, 100 days to get there, and we're not going to drive flat our because we have science to do as well."

AND THAT SCIENCE IS BEING SENT BACK AT A RECORD RATE - BY CONNECTING WITH ONE OF TWO AMERICAN SATELLITES IN ORBIT, IN LESS THAN A MONTH CURIOSITY HAS SENT BACK MORE DATA THAN ALL PREVIOUS ROVERS COMBINED...

AND SOON WE MAY EVEN KNOW WHAT MARS SMELLS LIKE - CURIOSITY WILL TAKE A GOOD SNIFF, LOOKING FOR METHANE IN THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE.
