FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

An area of disturbed weather brought more clouds than rain across the area yesterday, however our weather should begin to improve as we head through our Friday as this moisture begins to shift to our west.

Our weather this morning will start off mainly dry along with temperatures in the mid 70s. We'll more than likely see a few more rays of sunshine through the day, which will allow temperatures to gradually work their way into the lower 90s.

A breezy east to northeasterly wind will set up across the Peninsula, dragging a few showers across the state and into our own backyards during the afternoon and early evening hours. Thereafter, our skies will go quiet and clearing conditions will take place overnight as lows dip into the mid 70s for most.

The weekend is looking pretty good with more sunshine in the morning and your typical hit or miss afternoon showers and storms.

Early next week, moisture will increase across Southwest Florida with more clouds than sun in the forecast. As our wind flow becomes more onshore off the Gulf of Mexico, showers and storms will be possible during the morning and afternoon hours. Due to the extra cloud cover and rain, temperatures will be held down a bit into the upper 80s.

DID SHE GO TOO FAR?

PROFESSOR SPEAKS OUT-PKG

SCRIPT:

The first week of classes at American University, and assistant professor

and busy single mom Adrienne Pine woke up to a one year old daughter with a

fever. Her day care-not an option.

With no emergency sitters on hand, and not wanting to cancel her first

lecture, she brought her infant to work.

SOT ADRIENNE PINE

It wasn't the ideal option but the fact is there were no ideal options and

it was the best of the options available to me

Her baby Lee was fine -- at first. But then she started to fuss and Pine did

what she always does -- at home, on buses, at restaurants: Breast-fed her.

And she continued with her class while she did it.

SOT PINE

People seemed largely charmed, you know by the humanity that I think

children can bring to a workplace environment, without necessarily

detracting from the seriousness

GFX

then she learned of this tweet from one of the students --

Sex, gender, and culture professor, total feminist, walks in with her baby,

midway through class breast feeding time #wtf

And when the school paper got wind of the story, the campus started buzzing

-- offending some students.

MOS SARAH MILES

I think what's inappropriate is that she brought her child to class in the

first place. It's very distracting to a lot of the students.

And others were not --

She let us know that she was about to do it, so I wasn't too surprised. I

think she handled it in the most professional way that she could.

SOT MELISSA LAWRENCE, CLOUDMOM

I think that in a situation like this, which is unique and again she wasn't

making a habit of it, we really need to cut her some slack

Pine says she wasn't trying to start a revolution, she was just attempting

to manage, like so many moms do, an untenable situation.

SOT PINE

I'm surprised at the hostility that is clearly aimed at women in the

workplace and women who breast-fed in the workplace in particular

She's hoping, at least, her actions will spark not just controversy, but a

deeper discussion about how wrenching these childcare struggles can be.

PINE SAYS --

SHE WANTS TO SEE A COLLECTIVE CHILDCARE SYSTEM.

SO THAT EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORKPLACE CAN DISCUSS THE ISSUE TOGETHER.

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

An area of disturbed weather brought more clouds than rain across the area yesterday, however our weather should begin to improve as we head through our Friday as this moisture begins to shift to our west.

Our weather this morning will start off mainly dry along with temperatures in the mid 70s. We'll more than likely see a few more rays of sunshine through the day, which will allow temperatures to gradually work their way into the lower 90s.

A breezy east to northeasterly wind will set up across the Peninsula, dragging a few showers across the state and into our own backyards during the afternoon and early evening hours. Thereafter, our skies will go quiet and clearing conditions will take place overnight as lows dip into the mid 70s for most.

The weekend is looking pretty good with more sunshine in the morning and your typical hit or miss afternoon showers and storms.

Early next week, moisture will increase across Southwest Florida with more clouds than sun in the forecast. As our wind flow becomes more onshore off the Gulf of Mexico, showers and storms will be possible during the morning and afternoon hours. Due to the extra cloud cover and rain, temperatures will be held down a bit into the upper 80s.

TALK OF A CONVENTION CENTER IN NAPLES.

NAPLES DAILY NEWSMAKERS-REM-LIVE

Collier County Judge Eugene Turner

Naples City Manager Bill Moss

Naples Art Association Executive Director Aimee Schlehr

Talking points:

Judge Eugene Turner:

Raps campaign tactics of opponent

Manager Bill Moss:

A convention center for downtown?

Naples Art Association executive Aimee Schlehr:

The business side of the arts

Collier County Judge Eugene Turner raps the campaign tactics of his election opponent, Jim McGarity, who declined to join Turner on TV;

Naples City Manager Bill Moss tells what he knows about talk of a convention center for downtown;

and new Naples Art Association executive Aimee Schlehr discusses the business side of the arts.

Judge Turner says claims of double dipping reflect poorly on his challenger, who is a court magistrate:

Turner:

I find that it is neither judicious nor fair to object to somebody who is following the law merely because you have a personal disagreement with the law.

We're not permitted to do that in court. We instruct juries not to do that. We must take the law as it's given to you by the court, by the Legislature. When you follow that law, you should not be criticized.
